So, the third book of Ravenclaw Rejects, when things begin to get interesting! Harry/James is chasing after Tonks, Colin is chasing after Luna, the triwizard cup is going on, and since when are Miki and George dating? And who is Harry/James going to the ball with?

If you couldn't tell from the last book, HarryXTonks is going to happen or Harry is going to try to get the girl.

How to get a girl to go on a date with you that is seven years older

"My name is Nymphadora Tonks, but I go by Tonks. If you call me Nymphadora, you die." Tonks said. Sirius, Remus, and James just got back from the trip to Florida (where James had his first taste of real, muggle beer), when Sirius took him to see the only relatives he actually liked, the Tonks.

"My name is James, but I like to go by Crim. I don't think most people know my real first name. I like you. Will you go out with me?" James asked bluntly. Sirius burst out into laughter.

"Err...no, way too young for me. Good try kid." Tonks eyes softened a little. Perfect, phase one of get the girl was in motion.

"It's okay, thought I could try. A girl like you is probably already taken." Tonks blushed a little. Flattery works wonders with girls. He got this from the twins (in a bit of helpful advise) and Sirius (when he was really drunk...he probably didn't remember the conversation). "Since that is out of the way, do you like to play football (A.N or soccer as we would call it in the US)? My friends are all purebloods and don't know the sport."

"That's an outrage!" Ted Tonks cried. No, James didn't look at the football posters on his way in to make a plan. No, he didn't.

"I know, right? I grew up in the muggle world. Didn't know the wizarding world existed until I got my letter." James was careful not to mention age. After all, technically he wasn't lying. "So Tonks, want to play?"

"Sure!" Tonks grinned. She was probably still feeling guilty for turning an innocent little kid down. Oh well, I can use that to my advantage. After a while, and some sweat later, all was forgotten, and Tonks and James were talking like pals. "So, you don't have anyone special in your life?"

"Depressed?" Tonks nodded. "Bad breakup?" Tonks nodded. "I guess the twins are good for something. They might blow up stuff and have Filch yelling after them, but they are more understanding and observant than anyone knows. So, the best way to get over a breakup is to ask a random person out." James saw a muggle boy walking down the street. "Like that guy."

"I don't even know him! I'm not asking him out!" Tonks complained.

"So you only ask out guys you know? Why not go out with me?" James looked teary eyed.

"Too young." Tonks repeated.

"So that guy's old enough for you. So its either me or that guy." James pointed to the random muggle.

Tonks was beginning to get a headache from all of James's complaining. "Will you please be quiet?"

"Just say yes." James commented offhandedly.

"Okay." Tonks would do anything to make him shut up.

"Hey Sirius, I have a date this weekend!" James called out to Sirius.

Tonks woke up. "What date?" Tonks yelled.

"You just promised." James grinned.

"If you promised honey, you have to go through with it." Andromeda called from the doorway.

"So dinner and a movie?" James smiled, but revealed the real him as he began to hastily skip down the road.

"Wait a minute..." Tonks grumbled, then she thought, and then she ran after James. "You are not innocent at all!" Tonks looked behind her and realized they weren't in hearing range of the house. "This was all a setup to get me to go out with you!"

"Bingo!" James exclaimed.

"Should have known when Uncle Sirius adopted you. He wouldn't ever adopt anyone normal." Tonks continued to grumble, but then looked on the bright side (she was a hufflepuff after all). "I guess it was a good plan. I don't know how a soon-to-be third year ever thought it up."

"I'm wise beyond my years." James stated. Tonks stared at him. "Fine, I had to grow up fast. Didn't really have a parental figure before Sirius came up, so I raised myself."

"So...what does Crim stand for? It sounds like it sounds short for something." Tonks asked.

"Criminal or Criminally insane, depends on who you ask. I am known at Hogwarts for doing nasty pranks on people that hurt me or my friends, and never getting caught. So instead of getting upset at them calling me criminal, I shortened it down to a cool nickname: Crim." James explained. "So when is that date?"

"Tommorrow night at seven so I can get it over with." Tonks looked pissed. Maybe he shouldn't have tricked her into a date. "And stop with that stupid smirk on your face!" Tonks threw a spare can off the ground at his head.

"That really hurt Tonks." James said with obvious false sorrow. "I don't know how I am going to go on."
