RECAP:
Exhausted, you fell into bed and into a deep sleep awaiting the next few days which no doubt would be quiet.
NEXT PART:
You had another two days until the ‘surprise’ babysitter would be arriving you did all the usual, Cassia seemed to have been fussing around about decorating the house although it was still only early December but you weren’t going to stop her.
You woke up and did your normal morning routine. You couldn’t even fly today as the snow was too heavy. You went and sat down in the kitchen wondering how cassia managed to find so much work for herself.
You answered all the usual letters, you also had one other.
Hannah,
Unfortunately the person coming to look after you will not be arriving at yours until 7pm on the 10th just to give you an idea of when they will be arriving.
Dad
Short, but I suppose it gave the information, almost seemed as if it wasn’t from him but hey ho.
‘Hannah, there is someone here to see you!’ Cassia called from the main entrance way. Oh great probably some random salesman looking to sell me more house elves or something.
‘Just tell them we aren’t interested in what they are selling!’ you called back as you began to walk towards the hall.
‘Hello there Hannah!’ You suddenly plastered a smile upon your face and began to run and leap onto them screaming…
‘TONKSSSS!!!!!!’ You gave each other a massive hug. Dad had told most the Order where you lived, and they respected the fact that you didn’t want them blabbering about how big it is or whatever they thought of it.
‘Hey how are you?!’ she said prying you off after a minute or two.
‘Really good, well now I am before I was a bit bored and lonely but… are you my surprise babysitter?’
‘Unfortunately I am not, and before you ask I don’t know who it is, all I can tell you is that it’s not anyone from our lot or at least they haven’t said anything if it is.’
‘Bummer that shattered my hopes of it being someone good.’
She let out a giggle and picked her bags back up.
‘Fancy a sleep over?’ she said with a knowing grin.
‘Uh, Duhh!’
You spent the rest of the day chatting and messing around, spilling secrets of all sorts, you both planned to stay in one of the double spare rooms with the TV so that you could watch some movies. You had told Cassia that she could have some other elves over tonight if she wanted to. Tonks seemed to think that an elf having a social life was hilarious but thankfully out of the way of Cassia so she did not get upset.
‘You do realize that Fred is only 6 years younger than me young lady?’
‘Yeah I’m only 9 years younger and yet we both look older than you.’ You laughed and she threw a pillow at you.
‘I love these muggle movies, cannot get enough of them, wish I had more of them.’ She said as you put Moulin rouge on. You smiled smugly to yourself knowing that you had got her the right thing for Christmas and sat back and watched the movie.
By the end you were both crying and singing quietly along with the songs you knew.
Come what may… You danced with Draco to this song.
‘Hey I danced with Draco at Halloween to this song.’
‘Really? I thought you went with Fred?’
‘I did it was the night we got together but they did that thing where you have to dance with three people other than your date for a whole song, and for the last dance we had saved for each other this was the song.’
‘Bit romantic for a dance not with your date.’
‘Yeah I know, Dumbledore said it was requested so it was probably some random person trying to get with someone they didn’t go with.’
‘Yeah probably, I know this is really gay but can we watch finding Nemo?’
‘Ooofffff cccoourrsseee weeee cann toonkksss baaabbyyy’ you said in Dory’s whale voice. Tonks looked very confused.
‘Hmm maybe I should try humpback’
‘Caaannn youuu undderrrstannddd meeeee??????’ you screamed.
‘What the hell Hannah?’
‘Have you not ever seen it before?’ you asked getting out the disc.
‘No not yet.’
‘Then all shall be revealed.’
You both fell asleep at about 3 am during Atonement and you awoke to Tonks shaking.
‘What?’ you asked pulling the covers over your head.
‘It’s ten I have to leave in an hour.’
‘There’s a bathroom over there, everything you possibly want is in there.’ You said poking your arm out and pointing at the bathroom door.
‘Alright but you better be up and ready for the day in the next half an hour.’
‘Yeah yeah I will be.’
‘Your babysitter is coming today.’
‘Oh woop that’s worth getting up for!’ you exclaimed in an excited voice as if you were about to leap out of bed, which you certainly were not.
‘You know you are like a bloody sarcastic Slytherin when you wake up.’
‘Well we all know the hat had a hard time now go wash or you will scare Lupin away with your B.O.’
‘Cheers Hannah.’ She laughed and you heard the bathroom door close and shortly after the shower turn on.
‘Thank you so much for coming Tonks, it has been the most exciting thing that is going to happen this holidays.’ You said hugging her goodbye.
‘No problem it was good fun.’ She said realizing you. ‘Just don’t kill the babysitter ok?’
‘I’ll try.’ You smirked.
‘See you later Hannah, I will send you a letter boxing day.’
‘Ok talk to you then!’ You said and she apparated. Alone again. Well not completely alone, and it wouldn’t be for long, but Cassia was busy tidying everything up from last night and Night was out hunting. Bloody weather, why couldn’t it just go back to being clear? Despite the weather you decided to brave it and go flying anyway.
Come 4 and you were bored once more. You had written your letters, decorated your room, watched TV and been flying so now there was only one entertaining thing left to do. Swimming. Obviously not in an outdoor pool, no way, you had an indoor, it wasn’t amazingly big, but it was a pool inside!
You ran upstairs and got changed into a bikini, put your dressing gown on over the top, you got cassia to put a special spell over you, so that your hair would always be dry when you left the water, styled, and your make-up would not change. The best spell ever found as far as you were concerned.
You spent a couple of hours in the pool, and then you got out and got in the Jacuzzi. Where you sat letting the water massage your legs, while listening to your music, practically falling asleep.
‘Err, Hannah, I’m sorry to disturb you but…’ Cassia shook your arm, turns out you had almost dosed off, you weren’t asleep, more in deep thought with your eyes closed.
You opened your eyes and looked at Cassia, who turned and looked at the open glass doors where your surprise babysitter was stood, grinning and smirking at you. You blushed, got out the hot tub and ran and hugged them.
‘Better than you expected huh?’
