Introduction
It was once again, morning, at Grimmauld Place. The owner of said house was sat at the head of the table in the dark and musky kitchen. Sirius, inhaling the caffeinated fumes Florean Fortescue's own blend, peered over his mug of coffee at the two people sitting with him.
To his right was his last remaining friend and fellow Marauder, Remus Lupin. Remus was dejectedly stirring his own coffee, a frown on his scarred face. He looked tired, the night before was a full moon and transforming always exhausted the thirty-five year old werewolf.
Sirius had been with him of course. For the twelve years that he had been in Azkaban, every time he looked out of his bar blocked window and saw that it was a full moon, he thought of Remus going through the pain of transforming alone, without his friends and it killed him. Ever since Sirius had broken out, and was safe to make contact with Remus, Harry and the others, Sirius always joined Remus during the full moon, transforming into his Animagus form 'Padfoot'.
Sirius looked to his left. There trying to catch Remus' eye was Sirius' favourite cousin's daughter, Nymphadora Tonks. Andromeda Tonks, along with her husband Ted, and of course Dora, were the only members of the Black family who could stand to be in the same room as him.
Sirius looked from one to the other, and sighed. His friend was still studiously avoiding Tonks' gaze as he had been for the past few weeks. Ever since 'The Order of the Phoenix' had reconvened due to the return of Lord Voldemort and the first meeting had been held, Tonks had been head over heels in love with Remus ever since they were first introduced, and him her. But, because of his condition. His curse, as he called it. His werewolf side; Remus had been steadily refusing the chance to be with her.
His excuses were always the same. He was too old, too poor, a social outcast. He didn't want to put her in danger and he didn't want people to shun her for the rest of her life just because she was in love with him.
Each time Remus said these words, Sirius, who was normally always in the same room as he was still on the run from the Ministry of Magic, could see that both Remus and Tonks' hearts broke just that little bit more at every syllable uttered. It was because of this that Sirius vowed to do something. Sirius was determined to get the two together know neither would be happy, and there would not be any peace until he did.
Sirius devised a plan. Using an enchantment written by his Great Grandfather, Phineas Nigelus Black; he would send both Remus and Tonks somewhere, where they could finally get their acts together and hopefully get together. Sirius just had to decide where… and when.
