An un-likely mission(Takes place during OoP)

It was sunset, and two people were walking down the empty street. One was a boy, one was girl. It was obvious. The shorter one, the girl, was leaning on the taller one. They were holding hands. If you looked closer, you might have seen that their faces were covered. Not with masks, just hoods. Black hoods. If you looked even closer, you might have seen the looks on these people's faces. The girl, she looked, comfortable. The man looked happy. To be plainly said, it looked like they were on a date. Now if you had known these two people, you would have realized that they were both in a lot of pain, misery, and were both very suspicious.

These two people, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks, were not on a date. Quite the opposite actually. Well, maybe not the opposite. They were on a mission, and very un-likely mission. It was never to be expected. The were masquerading as a couple. Now, you may ask, 'Why in the world were a rookie Auror, and a long time member of the order of the Phoenix on a mission together, masquerading as a couple?' Well, there is a reason. Number one reason being, that Nymphadora, or Tonks, as she liked to be called, was a metamorphmagus. This made it very easy for them to disguise them selves. Well, for her to disguise herself. It made Remus look like a really git. He was out with a different woman every night, for heavens sake! Well, at least that's what it looked like. Reason number two, you ask? Number two tells us why Remus was there. He was there because he was an actor. Okay, maybe not. He was whom Dumbledore chose for the mission, and no body defied Dumbledore. Okay? Got that? Good.

Now, I bet your wondering what this mission was? Right? Well, I'm not going to tell you right now! All I can say, at this time, was that they were suppose to look completely, and utterly innocent. Remus and Dumbledore had faked a fight, in front of the entire order, which knew nothing of the mission. Remus had gone straight to the ministry, like planed, and told Fudge, well, maybe not Fudge himself, more like a supervisor, under Fudge, of Dumbledore's 'Plans'. Before the fight was staged, Dumbledore and Remus had carefully planned these 'plans'. They were full of crazy, but believable, nonsense. Things only the ministry wouldn't realize were fake.

So, Remus was now 'out of the order' or so everyone, but Dumbledore and Tonks. So, you're saying, Remus is out, but what about Tonks, wouldn't it seem kind of weird for Tonks to be hanging onto a guy that had just 'betrayed' the order? Well, yes, it would be, but, conveniently, three days before 'the fight', Tonks had confessed her love for 'The one and only, my Remus Lupin!' Her words, not mine, but I have to admit that if I was in that position, I would say the exact same thing.

Anyway, because of this confession, in front of everybody, but Remus himself (Who already knew about it all, as Dumbledore had told him the morning before), the thing to do, when 'the fight' was staged, was to admit her love to Remus, and say that if he left, she left. And that's what she did. Tonks and Remus left the order meeting, to the amazement of everybody, but Dumbledore.

Yes, so there you have it. That's how they were there, now you want to know why these two friends were walking on a dingy street, at sunset, pretending to be going out, right? Well, I'll tell you, just not yet. Right now, I'm going to tell you what the ministry thought of Remus turning on Dumbledore. At first, they were all, 'This is a Joke!' The reason they thought this was because of many people in the Ministry, Remus couldn't get a job. Plus the way Tonks was dressed. But then, the they offered to tell them Dumbledore's plans, and then, they were welcomed with open arms.

Now, I bet your still wondering about Tonks and Remus, and I'm not going to tell you that. I'm first going to tell you about The Order's reaction. Mundungus Fletcher was weird-ed out a little by Tonks being in love with Remus. Kingsley Shacklebolt felt very betrayed that Tonks had just abandoned him like that. They were close friends, nothing else, but still. Alastor Moody was just grunting. He was sure, from the instant Tonks had joined the order, she was trouble. But did anybody listen to him? The Auror who had been catching dark wizards for centuries? No, I don't think so. And what about Sirius? Oh. My. God. He could only think about two things. 'My cousin, Tonks, with my best friend, Remus? Ewww!' The second thing he herd in his head was 'Hum…let me see, if Lupin and Tonks get married, then Remus will be my… cousin by marriage? Cool!' Dumbledore tried to look mad, but there was no way to look at any member of the order, at this time, and not burst out laughing! As if Remus would just leave like that! Ha! To him, this was all hysterical.

Now, ehem, I will tell you about Tonks and Remus. As soon as they were a block away from Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, they both started laughing hysterical. Remus had practically carried Tonks out of the house, and while he was doing this, it was very hard to see the looks of the members faces, at the time. He did get to see Moody's. It was just side-splittingly funny. Ever since Tonks had joined the order, Moody had been skeptical of her, and this was the 'top of the water bottle', as I like to say, for him. Finally, about ten blocks away from the house, the two had finally collapsed from the laughing, conveniently onto a bench, in a little, run-down, park.

"That, was the most hysterical thing I have ever seen!" Tonks choked out.

"I have to say," said Remus, "It was highly amusing." he then paused, "Or a little bit more then amused. More like…well… hysterical! Not another word for it!" he said, laughing.

They continued walking down the street, in till they reached a small shack. Dumbledore had told them that this was a good area for them to Disapparate from. They appeared on the outskirts of a forest, by a small house. It had a wonderful country look.

The two exchanged glances, and walked inside, and instantly placed a shield charm on the house.

"Well, I guess we should get some sleep." said Tonks

"Yeah." replied Remus, and they went to there separate rooms, and slept. There dreams both revolved around what had happened that night.

Now, I bet your thinking that I'm now going to tell you why they were pretending to be a couple now, right? Well your wrong. I'm going to have to make you wait in till next chapter, but that's the joy of being a narrator. If we can't toy with our victims, what can we do, beside tell a story, that is.

Well? What do you think? I hope you liked it! Now I know I have not been that dependable in the past with updating, but I am going to write at least a chapter a month, 3 if I can. My goal is a chapter a week……. But I'm not sure if that's gonna work. Anyway, I hope you like this! Please r/r!
