I'm no writer, but this is something that just popped to my head while reading all of your wonderful stories! And saying I don't write I mean this must be the exeption of the decade. This is published merely because I don't think there can ever be too many variations of this particular scene. I'd like some reviews though, mostly on what you thought about the scene and ideas, not so much of the literary value.


"Uuh…" starts Sirius when his clumsy cousin has finally made it safely down the kitchen stairs. "Your little crush on Moony is growing into something more, isn't it?"

"What? Are we really having this same conversation again?" asks Tonks sitting herself opposite to him on the kitchen table and staring at him straight in the eye. "So now you hearing me fall over those hidious troll legs, wich you by the way promised to get rid of weeks ago, and Remus being nice enough to help me up, tells you that I have a crush on him?"

"No. Me hearing him call you Nympadora and not hearing you contradict him nor Moony whimpering in pain for you slapping him, tells me that you at least fancy him. And I will remove the umbrella stand at my own convinient schedule."

Tonks fails to hide the suprise from her voice when the realisation of Sirius' words sets in. "Did he really call me Nymphadora? And I didn't notice..." She is seriously starting to doubt her sanity around that man.

"And you saying that right now tells me that you more than fancy him" continues Sirius smirking self-conciously. "And judging by the tone he used, he's also beyond flirting with you."

"What? Are you saying he's not flirting with me anymore?" she blurts out sounding a bit alarmed.

"Oh, so you admit you've been flirting with him?" Sirius lays back in his chair and lifts his feet on the table. The look on his face tells Tonks that he is really enjoying the coversation.

"Technically that'd be more like me admitting I've noticed Remus flirting with me" Tonks says matter-of-factly, "but it doesn't matter now does it, if he doesn't do it anymore…"she trails away not wanting to show her disappointment but instead getting angry at Sirius for being such an emotionally crippled git. Who does he think he is, rubbing to her face that the man she's head over heels with is over every possibly feeling he might have ever had for her? "So when is it exactly that you'd be able to get that blasted thing out from your entrance hall? Or shall I just go and blow up the hole room?" Tonks is already up on her feet her hair blazing red and drawing her wand.

Sirius holds his hands up in mock surrender and can't help smirking wider. "Easy couz, you got me all wrong. I'm not saying Moony isn't every bit as infatuated with you as ever, just that he doesn't find it safe to flirt with you anymore." Tonks looks so befuddled frozen to her spot with her jaw open and wand half drawn from her boot that Sirius just can't help laughing. "Go and grab us a pair of glasses and some firewhiskey from the upper cupboard will you. Since you're the one who's already up and about!"

"You think Remus is in infatuated with me…?" Tonks' thoughts are spinning so fast in her head that she merely fetches the wanted items and sets them on the table between them.

"There's a fair few things you should know about our Moony before judging wether or not you want that lovely umbrella stand removed just yet. At least it's giving me some good entertainment" says Sirius pouring firewhiskey into their glasses and emphasizing his last words with a knowing wink.

She is really confused. How many emotions can she possibly go through in a five minute conversation with Sirius? Seemingly more than she was prepared for.

Well, it's Remus that they're talking about.
