Prologue:
Now that the war was over and Voldemort was gone, a new school year at Hogwarts could begin. Minerva McGonagall would now be the new Headmistress. The only new teachers would be that Remus Lupin would be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Nymphadora Tonks would be teaching Transfiguration.
Also, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were going to retake their seventh year because they had missed it while trying to defeat Voldemort.
People were now beginning to wonder why Tonks and Remus were not together yet. It made people laugh to see all of the sexual tension going on between them. Now Remus and Tonks were going to see each other every day since they were now going to be colleagues.
"Ginny," said Tonks, "how an I going to make it through this year?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the fact that I"minlovewithRemus," she replied quickly and jumbled together.
"Uh? Could you please repeat that?"
"I'm-in-love-with-Remus," she replied slowly, sounding out each word with articulation.
"Do I hear this correctly?" smirked Ron as he walked into the room, obviously having heard what Tonks had said, "you love Professor Lupin?"
Tonks nodded.
"That's great!" cried Ron.
"No, Ron, it's not!" squealed Tonks.
""And why not?" inquired Ginny.
"Because I'm positive that he doesn't love me!" Tonks forced out, tears almost coming to her eyes.
"Are you kidding me?! Have you never noticed all of the sexual tension between you two?"
"Of course not! Because there isn't any!" Tonks retorted.
"Yes there is! And next week at Hogwarts, you'll just see how much there really is.
