"Age is just a number." Tonks argued as Remus stepped away from her. "There is a 13 year difference between us!" He

shouted at Tonks. "I don't care!" she yelled back. "Remus, I don't care how much older you are than me, Do you know

why? Because I LOVE you! nothing can change that." .she beat her fist into the stone wall of the abandoned Hogwarts corridor. "What do I have to do to make you understand?" Remus stared at her.

"What am I supposed to do?" he asked. "Yes, okay I do love you. But it doesn't matter! We can't be together. I'm too old for you, too poor, too dangerous..." Tonks walked up to him, grasping the collar of his robes. "Bullshit." she whispered before leaning in and kissing him. Remus instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Tonks smiled into the kiss, and leaned into him, deepening the kiss. Remus pulled away, however, when he heard footsteps running flat out down the corridor. "Shit." He whispered. "I'll bet you it's McGonagall, coming to tell us off for snogging in the middle of a public corridor." Tonks laughed. "Or Dumbledore coming to tell us to get our butt's down to the order meeting." Remus goggled at her. "What order meeting?" he asked. "The order meeting in Dumbledores office. Didn't you hear?" Tonks replied. Remus glared at her, unwrapping his arms from around her waist. "In case you haven't noticed, Tonks, I've been stuck underground with werewolves for the past two and a half months, so of course I didn't hear!" "Yeah? well while you were gone, I almost died, twice, went on a top secret mission for Dumbledore,tryed to figure out how to not attack you with kisses when you got back from the werewolf colony, and killed a few death eaters, so now Voldemort will be after my blood!" she shot back. "And I've got enough to think about without staring at you at order meetings and trying to convince you that we can be together and..." Tonks was out of breath now, and she sucked in another one to continue her rant, when Professor Mcgonagall entered the Corridor, out of breath. "Albus would like to see you in his office." She panted. Tonks and Remus nodded stiffly, and started off in oppisite directions to Dumbledore's office. Tonks found Dumbledore's office in a matter of minutes. For Remus, however, it took a bit longer, on account of he got attacked by Moaning Myrtle on the fifth floor. When he at last arrived, Dumbledore motioned for him to sit down.

"Now, I'm sure you both are wondering why i have brought you here before the Order meeting." Dumbledore said.

Remus nodded, and Tonks just shrugged. "Well," Dumbledore began, "It has come to my attention, that, after last night with the fight between Bill and Fleur, that you two may want to consider your current relationship. Minerva has informed me that she saw you two kissing, erm, rather, snogging, in an abandoned corridor." Remus spluttered incoherently and Tonks Blushed, her face and hair now turning a bright red. Dumbledore smiled at the acts of Embarressment coming from the two unknowing lovers. "Don't worry, I won't tell." he said cheerfully. "Now, what I want to know is why. Why were you two kissing, when, as far as I know, you are not involved in a romantic relationship? Why Are you not in a romantic relationship? Why do they have to make vomit-flavored Bertie Botts?" In the asking of this last question, Remus and Tonks both stared at Dumbledore incredulously. "Vomit-flavored..." Tonks choked out before bursting out laughing. Soon afterwards, Remus joined her, and they both guffawed merrily. They laughed and laughed, and Dumledore eventually had to kick them out because they were laughing too much. He Turned to Mcgonagall, and shook his head sadly. She smiled, and started laughing too.
