A/N: Hello Everyone. I realize I probably made some spelling and grammar errors, so sorry in advance about that. Also, I realize Nymphadora wasn't this close in age to them, but for the purpose of this story she is. If that bothers you, well then I'm sorry. Enjoy!

My face and hair both turned vibrantly pink with embarrassment as I flew across the Gryffindor common room, face planted, and landed sprawled at the feet of one Remus Lupin. He smiled lopsidedly at me, picked me up by my elbows and said, "Now Dora, you really must watch where you're going." I glared at him. Only he could get away with calling me Dora. From everyone else it was Tonks, absolutely no exceptions, my parents must have been going bonkers when they named me, because who in their right minds would name their daughter Nymphadora?

"TONKS!" My cousin Sirius yelled across the common room before smacking into me and sending me flying across the room and in front of Remus feet once again. And just as before my hair and face changed from mousy brown and pale respectively to bright pink. Remus tried to be polite and hide his laughter, but failed miserable and finally simply said, "Pink quite suits you", before grabbing Sirius and exiting the room, probably to go find their other friends, James and Peter.

I sighed, rather over dramatically, and then slowly walked up to my dorm room. I plopped down loudly on my bed and looked at my friend Matilda, who was looking at me. "Matty don't give me that look," I sighed as a scooted farther up my bed and under the covers.

"Nymphadora," she paused, as if testing me because she'd said my name, before continuing, "you really must stop worrying about Remus, you're 11 and he is 17. You're a first year and he is a sixth year. I don't see anything happening for the two of you."

I through a hand dramatically across my forehead and pretended to be sad and love struck. "Oh Matty, the bows of love have struck me hard, and I can't stop falling. My Remus loves me and we'll be together forever. Why we just had a nice snog in the common room, it really is too bad that you missed it." I went on looking in love until Matilda started to giggle and then I caught the giggles as well and then we both lost it.

ooooooooooooooooo

After a good bought of laughter, I left Matilda and made my way back down to the common room. As soon as I got down there I heard Sirius calling after me once again. "TONKS!" After how he embarrassed me earlier I was determined to ignore him.

"TONKS!" I swear. I was so determined it was ridiculous.

"TONKS! TONKSY PIE!" Well. That nickname was rather annoying. Oh well. Nothing better than good old determination to deal with irritation.

"NYMPHADORA!" That's it.

"Don't. Call. Me. Nymphadora." I said spinning around on my heel to face him and nearly hitting him in the face. My hair turned violent shades of red and I glared at him as best as I could.

"Ahh, I knew I'd get you to turn around with that one!" Sirius exclaimed as he threw his arm around my shoulder, "I have a proposition for you."

This could not be good. No proposition from Sirius was ever anything good as a matter of fact. After the way he and Frank got Lily and James together he was not to be trusted. I tried to run away from him before he could get another word out, but unfortunately his heavy arm was still around my shoulders.

Even more unfortunately, I had no strength or coordination and I collapsed under the weight of his arm until I was once again sprawled across the floor. I looked up at him. He looked down at me as if nothing had happened. I allowed my curiosity to take control for a moment, "Okay, I give, what is your proposition?" Sirius grinned at me for a moment before speaking.

"I am going to make you an honorary Marauder in training!" Oh dear Lord.

"I will teach you the ways of us! You already know most of our little secrets, including what goes on durring Remus' time of the month! You're perfect squirt! Let me take you under my wing!" I frowned for a moment, contemplating the idea.

Sirius saw that I was not immediately planning on accepting his proposition. He must have thought it was too good to be refused. Oh! Oh! What is that on my sides? Sirius! SIRIUS ORION BLACK STOP TICKLING ME! Ah..ahhhh! I can not control my giggles.

"Sirius" hahahaha "what do I" hahahah "need to do" hahaha "to make you stop?" hahahahahahha!

"JUST ACCEPT MY OFFER!" Sirius screamed triumphantly. Well you know what Sirius? That's not good eno...oh wow I can't handle this tickling anymore.

"Okay I accept."

"Good, follow me, we'll get started. Let's find the gang." Oh wow. This means Remus. Well, maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all.

And with that Sirius grabbed my arm and started sprinting down the hallway, which essentially means Sirius grabbed my arm and my body flailed along behind him down the hallway, dragging across the ground.

Review?
