A faint creak could be heard from the bedroom door of Remus Lupin, situated at 12 Grimmauld's Place.
'Remus?' Nymphaodra Tonks whispered. 'Are you awake?' Silence. As carefully as she can manage she tiptoes her way across his room until she reaches his bed side.
'Remus' she tries again 'Lupin!' somewhat louder. She pokes him in the ribs.
'mmmh'
'Are you awake?'
'Whaa Christ Nymphaodra. Well I am now' he responds drowsily, in a startled manner.
'Sorry, I couldn't sleep.' She climbs onto the other side of his bed and sits cross legged waiting for him to move. He looks her up and down, amusement flickering across his face. Bare legs, blue shorts, white weird sisters t-shirt, fluffy pale pink hair and slightly smudged misplaced eyeliner.
'What's up Tonks?'
'I couldn't sleep.' He gives her a look. 'The wind is so loud outside especially where my room is.'
'And what am I meant to do about it?' He questions her propping himself up on one elbow still under his warm duvet.
She shrugs 'Talk to me, its much quieter in here.'
'I am.'
'Keep going.'
'You are insufferable and it wont be much quieter in here if you continue to natter all night.'
'Remus please.' He sighs audibly, and stretches an arm to her.
'Come here.' He pulls her over to him, an arm around her waist. She nestles down into his chest relishing in the warmth his body offers her.
'Now what do you want to talk about?'
'Shush Remus, some of us are trying to get a little sleep here.'
She smiles. He huffs.
'Next time don't bother waking me just come right in.'
'Not so repulsed by me after all are you?' A playful tone clearly evident in her voice.
He tightens his grip around her waist. 'Hmm you're just warm on nights like these, that's all.
She kicks him in the shin. 'Goodnight Nymphadora.' he sighs.
'Night Remus.'
