In the Burrow's kitchen, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Tonks and Lupin were there. Everyone was in silence as they were thinking about Dumbledore and the funeral. Tonks was still in tears and Ginny felt very ungrateful because she wasn't thinking about Dumbledore but about Harry and what he had said. Lupin was trying but failing to comfort Tonks. Mrs. Weasley was handing out drinks to everyone,
"To Dumbledore, a great man" Bill said raising his glass, the scars still flesh, everyone followed with a chorus of "Dumbledore".
"I hope Harry's okay" piped up a very concern Mrs. Weasley.
"I need some air" said Tonks as she got up, put her glass on the table and walked out the back door, Lupin followed as everybody's gaze followed them.
Outside, Lupin stopped the other side of the door. He heard sobs coming from the side of the house, he followed the sound till he found Tonks leaning against the wall crying into her arm. Lupin felt a pang of longing and loving, he moved over to her a put his hand on her shoulder and without any force she turned and started to cry into his chest, he put his hands on the back of her head and on her back. Though he never knew it, she felt the most comfortable then she had ever in her life. They stood there, like that for at least 30 minutes but neither of them cared.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Lupin asked as Tonks stopped crying,
"Yeah" she replied, and with that they disaparated.
They arrived in Tonk's living room, Tonks went into the kitchen and Lupin went to disaparate and found he couldn't,
"Don't think I'm done with you yet" Tonk's voice came from the kitchen. A minute later she came out with two fire whiskeys and they both sat down on the couch.
"Thanks" Tonks said,
"Hey I'm not the one who kidnapped anyone"
"You can leave if you want" she said pointing to the door. He leaned close as if to kiss her but pulled back before he did, she realized what he wanted to do so she kissed him.
"Well" she said as she pulled back, the next second he put his hand on the back of her head and pulled her into a more passionate kiss.
Tonks, without thinking about it, open her lips and his tongue slid though and started to explore her mouth. When they broke apart they discover that they're in Tonks bedroom, neither knowing how they got there.
"Well for someone who thought they were too old, too poor, too dangerous for me you certainty know how to party" And with that he swept her up into his arms and dropped her onto the bed but she pulled him down next to her.
"I thought we'd wait, as Dumbledore's funeral was today and…."
"….Sshh, I understand" he interrupted, placing a finger on her lips.
They just lay there looking into each others eyes waiting for the other to fall asleep, but sleep caught up with Tonks first, when Lupin was sure she was asleep he closed his eyes and was asleep instantly.
