A/N: Ok, so I have always had this thing for Remus and Tonks… I'm not too sure what it is but I kind of have a soft spot for them, so I decided to write a fan fic about how I thought they met etc.
I don't know how fast I can update because of school, plus my other fan fiction so I'll do my best. It is set at the start of OotP and hopefully will end at the end of DH. Otherwise, here is my story of Remus and Tonks, enjoy.
Disclaimer FOR THE WHOLE FAN FICTION: J.K. Rowling owns everything.
Chapter One
"Seriously Tonks, go home!"
Kingsley Shacklebolt gave her a look of annoyance, after trying to get her to leave the office for the past hour. But she had to stay; the pile of paper work in the top corner of her desk only seemed to get larger. She ran her hands through her hair, half in frustration and the other in fatigue. She hid a yawn behind her hand before answering him for the ninth time.
"Auror Shacklebolt, I have told you nearly a dozen times within the past hour that I absolutely have to get this work done," she replied, putting extra emphasis on the word 'have'.
"You are too tired, it's takes you twice as long to do something as it normally would. You're completely wasting your time. Please, go home; and how many times have I told you to call me by my first name?" he said, this time putting both hands on her desk and towering over her.
"What good would it be if I went home? I would rather stay here and take twice as long to do something, then be at home doing absolutely shit all. And you know I don't like to call you Kingsley, it's unprofessional," she finished, not at all intimidated by his glare.
"Well I'm afraid you just threw the unprofessionalism right out the door when you used the 'S' word. Besides, they all soften up and call me Kingsley eventually," he said, smirking.
"Grow up."
This made him laugh. "Now now, Tonks, that's no way to talk to your boss."
"You're not my actual boss, Kingsley, so deflate that massive head of yours," she replied, purposely saying his name, "Besides; don't you have a family to go home to?"
"I'm as good as. And yes, I do."
"Then stop acting like a brat and go home!"
"I was waiting for you to leave," he replied.
"How am I stopping you from leaving?" she asked, this time seriously.
Kingsley rolled his eyes in annoyance and quickly scanned the Auror's office before he spoke again, "Tonks go home… That is an order."
Slightly startled, Tonks began to pack up her things and soon enough, she was walking out of her cubicle. When she reached the elevator, she pushed the button and waited for it to reach her floor.
When the elevator came to a rattling stop, the doors opened and a cool female voice sounded, "Level two: Department of magic law enforcement."
"You should change your hair to blonde, Tonks," said Kingsley from behind her, making her jump.
They both got in the lift as the doors closed and it began to move before Tonks answered.
"What do you mean?" she asked, slightly confused.
"What I mean is, I have been wanting a word with you for at least an hour and you didn't notice any of the signs," he replied.
"Oh," is all she could manage to say.
"I was thinking something along those lines too."
"What did you want to talk to me about," she asked curiously.
"Not here, you never know who's listening," he replied looking behind them, as if looking to see if they shared the elevator with anyone else.
Tonks rolled her eyes and said, "You're exactly like Moody, has anyone ever told you that?"
"You tell me that everyday. Except normally you add 'just not as full on' to the end of it," he replied, just as they came to a stop.
"Level eight: The Atrium," sounded the same female voice as the doors opened.
They both stepped into the mass of ministry workers that were either just arriving, or about to leave. But a thought suddenly came to Tonks' head…
"Where are we talking?" she asked, with a horrified look on her face.
"Well I figured that I could go back to your house, that way I'm sure you get home safely… Don't worry, I'm a married man Tonks," he added, seeing the look on her face.
She laughed nervously, "No, it's not that. It's just… My hou- apartment… Is not exactly… The cleanest."
He shook his head, "Tonks, I've been there before. I don't really care if it's a mess or not, that's where we're going."
"What? You think that V-Voldemort has somehow found a way to kidnap people when they use the floo network?" she asked.
"Well done, you said his name."
"Yeah, yeah… I deserve a medal," she replied, still thinking about her messy apartment.
"Meet you there," he said.
Tonks reached one of the many fireplaces and grabbed a small amount of floo powder, before throwing it into the flames and stepping in after it.
"Home," she said, with a sigh of relief that she was actually going to get to go to bed when Kingsley had gone.
Soon enough, she was thrown into her lounge room covered in dust, Kingsley arriving just behind her.
"Ah, shit!" She said, as she tripped over when Kingsley bumped into her.
"You alright?" Kingsley asked, offering his hand.
Taking it, she replied, "Of course, I'm used to it… And I'm sure you are too."
He laughed.
"Now what did you want to talk to me about?" she asked anxiously.
"Well, I know that you are one of the few Aurors who believe Voldemort is back one hundred percent."
"Go on…" she said slowly.
"I was talking to Dumbledore the other day, and he asked if there was any trustworthy Aurors that I could perhaps persuade, which I was hoping I wouldn't have to do much of, into joining the Order of the Phoenix. I know it is kind of sudden, but you can have as much time to think about it as you need," he finished, looking at her with interest.
"Um…" is all that she could manage to say.
"Like I said, you don't have to decide right this second. I just needed to tell you because they were hoping to have a meeting soon, but I'll let you know when it is if you're interested."
"I am," she said.
Kingsley looked at her, kind of taken aback, "Y-you are?"
"Yeah, I'd love to help out."
"Are you sure? Tonks, it's more then just helping out."
"I kind of figured that. I'm not a kid anymore, Kingsley," she replied.
"Your job will be at risk."
"I gathered that much, considering how many lectures we have had from Scrimgeour," Tonks replied, rolling her eyes.
"Miss Tonks, you should never roll your eyes at your real boss," Kingsley tried to be serious.
"One: I didn't literally role my eyes at him. Two: Where is this whole Order thing located?"
After laughing, he replied, "I can't tell you right now, but I will give you more information tomorrow after work. Oh and I need to tell you something else… You know your cousin? Sirius Black?"
"If you mean the guy you have been looking for for over a year, then yes."
"He's innocent," Kingsley answered, ignoring her sarcasm, "and he's part of the order."
"So what you're saying is… You could easily be Scrimgeour's favourite by turning him in?" she replied, slightly shocked at what he was saying.
"He's an innocent man, Tonks. It wouldn't be fair!"
"You're lucky I trust you with my life, Shacklebolt, otherwise I wouldn't believe a single word you're saying," she replied with a cheeky smile.
"I'll contact you. Until then, look after yourself," he said, walking towards the fireplace again.
"Constant vigilance… Moody?" she said after him.
"Exactly," he replied, before muttering something and disappearing in green flames.
A/N: So there's chapter one. It will get more interesting, I PROMISE. But reviews are always welcome, and like I said in my other story, it makes me want to write SO much more. If you have any questions, just email me (or review), depending on what's easiest.
