The Wolf is Coming Ch. 72

Before she reached the platform, Tonks saw a figure standing there from a distance. The man was wearing a dark gray cloak with the hood pulled down very low, but there were still a few strands of silver hair leaking out from under the brim of the hat, flying freely in the cold wind.

Oh, Merlin, why was this guy here again? Tonks thought to herself.

Tonks graduated from Hogwarts and was very familiar with Hogsmeade. It was no exaggeration to say that she knew every resident here. So, when the strange man first came to Hogsmeade, Tonks noticed him.

Yes, a strange man.

He never took off his hat and never took the initiative to talk to anyone; at least that's how Tonks saw it. He always came on weekends, strolled around Hogsmeade quietly, and then stayed on the platform for a while.

From Tonks' point of view, this man was really suspicious. But she followed him several times, but found that this man was really just strolling around, and did nothing else. Of course, the first and second times could still be called tracking, and by the third time, the man had already noticed her.

Tonks still remembers that man's eyes– champagne-colored, and in the small shadow cast by the hood, it seemed to be glowing faintly. This made her unsure whether this person was a disguised Metamorphmagus like herself, or a mixed-blood of a certain race. But from those calm eyes, Tonks could not see any ill intentions.

Maybe he really just came out to relax. She thought.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a chill on the tip of her nose, and then something cold seemed to fall on her eyelashes. Tonks looked up in a daze, and saw scattered snowflakes falling from the gloomy sky.

It was snowing.

Tonks walked towards the platform with a clear goal, and by the way, she moved her eyes to the person in front of her, and then she found that the person had reached out to catch a few snowflakes. The pale wrist stretched out a little from the sleeve, revealing a braided bracelet. The color and pendant of the bracelet looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

The dark grey sleeves suddenly covered the entire wrist, and the bracelet was also wrapped in the sleeves.

When Tonks looked up again, she met the champagne eyes again. The man's eyes quickly swept across her face, and then fell on her pink hair. Tonks felt that the man must be wondering if she was the same person as the previous stalker, after all, her hair was silver-grey last time.

"Oh, I just think your bracelet is very beautiful." Tonks said dryly.

Unexpectedly, the man actually took over her words, "Yeah, I think so too."

He stared at the wrist that was already covered tightly by the sleeves, with a smug smile on his face, as if he was wearing a priceless treasure there. And this smile also broke his "stay away from strangers" barrier, and he seemed to be a little easier to get along with.

Tonks, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, almost immediately asked the question in her heart, "It's snowing, why are you still here? Wouldn't it be better to go to a warm room to avoid the wind and snow and warm up by the fire?"

The man shook his head gently, "No, I have to wait for someone, and I don't know when she will come."

Tonks was about to ask him who he was waiting for, maybe she could help...

In the distance, on the other side of the lake, the bells of Hogwarts rang slowly.

*dong* *dong* *dong*

The bells passed through the wind and snow and spread to every corner of Hogsmeade, making the vendors in the whole village excited; Hogsmeade was thoughtful.

And Tonks looked at the man in front of her with a smile in her eyes, looking forward to it on the platform, as if all the wind and snow did not exist.

At this moment, she seemed to have understood something, "The person you are waiting for..."

"Well, she is here."
