A.N yes, I know it is short, but not only is it my first HP fic, but I also have had a lot of -insert sweary word here- happen to me lately, please review and I will update ASAP. :)
Nymphadora Tonks reclined solemnly on the window seat that resided in the sitting room she spent most of her time in upon her visits to the house of Black. Her eyes transfixed on the houses...and the children, playing in the snowed blanketed streets without a care in the world. Unexposed to life and it's cruelties. Oh how she wished to be a child again. They were young, and not yet exposed to the means of love and heartbreak. She watched the sky darken, clouds forming. A blizzard imminent. As if it hadn't been obvious. After all, it was Christmas Eve. The cold weather was not helping to control her feelings. She was most definitely not ashamed to admit it. Tonks was deeply in love with Remus Lupin. As if that hadn't been obvious either. Everyone could see how god damned shy she seemed to be around the man. Her eyes always looked lost in her own imaginary fantasy with him involved. She wanted to kiss him, oh how much she wanted to. He was so kind and was such a gentleman to her. He was also so handsome. He did not think that he was because of the scars he was left with after numerous fights with other werewolves. But he was to Tonks. She loved his eyes too. They were so enchanting. He was also in the room , sitting by the fire while everybody else was either in bed or in the dining room. That only made things more difficult for the auror, she knew that if she remained beside the window, she would freeze, yet sitting by the fire would also be difficult too, as it would mean the awkward silence that the two already shared would have to be broken. A crack of lightening alerted her immediately and she pulled her knees up to her chin, not wishing for Remus to hear her teeth chatter. Too late..he was looking at her now, obviously noticing just how cold she appeared to be. Either that or the lightening had caught his attention to the window.
"Come and sit by the fire Dora..you must be freezing." The flames appeared to be dimming. He waved his wand, and soon enough, the dying fire was blazing in it's full glory yet again. Tonks, by then was sitting next to him with a blanket draped over her shoulders, enjoying the warmth the fire..and Remus's presence brought. Her body was still trembling of nerves though. Remus obviously sensed this and asked "Are you okay Nymphadora?"
"Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus , you know I hate my name."
With an eye roll, he muttered a half hearted apology and looked at her. Mistaking her nervousness for coldness. "You are cold.."
"N-" She was cut off by what he did next. Weather he knew what he was doing or not, he grasped her and pulled her closer to his body draping his own blanket around the both of them.
"Better?"
Tonks could only nod. Startled..and confused as to what had just happened.
