The Order meeting had ended, and the majority of the attendees had left leaving only a few occupants left. Arthur and Molly had retreated upstairs while Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape had returned to Hogwarts. The remaining all sat around the Kitchen table sharing stories and laughter. It was a rarity in such dark times so everyone took the chance whenever they had it.

"I just hope Angelina is a calmer captain that Oliver. All he would talk about was Quidditch. Day and Night. We practiced five times a week. It was a nightmare" Harry groaned as he thought about he previous practice schedule. It definitely made it harder to get his school work done on time when all his spare time was spent on the pitch.

Tonks laughed loudly, "I know that feeling. My ex-boyfriend used to be the same. Didn't matter what the circumstances are, if you know what I mean, all he wanted to talk about was Quidditch. He would go on and on about players and how they should have made different plays, how the seekers needed to be more active. I mean I like Quidditch as much as the next witch but Merlin there's only so much one persona can take"

"Boyfriend?" Ron piped up, he ignored the majority of Tonks' story and focused solely on that tid-bit of information, "I thought you were…I mean you and…" Ron trailed off awkwardly as he motioned towards the blonde witch, Fleur, who sat contentedly curled up under Tonks' arm.

Tonks shared an quick amused look with Fleur before she donned a confused mask, "What are you trying to ask Ron?"

Ron's faced turned steadily red, "I just though you didn't like boys…I mean you and Fleur are together…right…I mean I thought you were together…in like…a…lesbian…way" he stuttered.

Fleur snorted when she tried to hold back her laughter and Tonks didn't even try, she chuckled at the clearly uncomfortable boy but then answered, "Not that it really matters or is any of your business, but I'm not really hung up on the gender so much as the personality."

"Oh" Ron silently mouthed and decided quickly to keep quiet, he didn't want to dig himself further into embarrassment.

"Wait a minute" Fred chimed in with a thoughtful look on his face, "Didn't you used to date Charlie?"

The room fell silent and Tonks blushed, her hair even turned red, when she realised that she had been bashing about Charlie to his own family, "Oops" she said sheepishly, and the room erupted into laughter.
