A/N I still don't own anything. and remember I do love reivews. Thanks!

"Damn!" Tonks had now fallen over the umbrella stand for what felt like had been the hundredth time.

"Fall again Tonks?" a soft hand reached out offering its assistance.

"Remus!" Tonks said taking the hand. "Ah, yes, I tend to fall a lot." Every time Remus sees me, I am on the ground, what he must think! She thought to herself.

"So I've noticed." Remus smiled.

Tonks, slightly embarrassed said, "Ah, yes well. Shall we get up to the meeting?"

Lupin gave a soft chuckle, "Most certainly." He pulled her in front of him and followed her up the stairs.

"Really Remus, I can make it up the stairs!" Tonks stated blushing furiously.

"I highly doubt it, but if you insist," He walked back down the stairs with an amused look on his face and watched her go up the stairs.

Tonks felt conscious of Remus's eyes on her backside, but oh, was she going to prove him wrong. "I will be just fine, I assure you Mr. Lupin." Tonks smirked. She walked up the stairs just fine, until the last step. She tripped over her own feet and fell back colliding with Remus who had been standing at the bottom step, and then her head smashed into the wall.

"Tonks!" She had heard a cry faintly in the background. Someone, she could not tell who though had picked her up and was carrying in to a nearby room. She felt a soft bed beneath her, and fell asleep.

--

"Tonks, Tonks, Nymphadora!"

"Don't call me Nymphadora!" Tonks snapped weakly as her hair turned a fiery color. She opened her eyes and saw three people around her, Molly Weasley, Sirius, and a very worried looking Remus.

"Told you that would wake her!" Her cousin remarked smirking.

"That will be enough out of you! Now Tonks dear, hear have some soup it will help your head." Molly Weasley, said as she gave her a bowl of soup.

Tonks took the bowl of soup. "This is quiet good!" She exclaimed after a few sips.



"Thank you." Molly said just as she heard a loud bang coming from out side, "I am going to kill those boys!" and she ran out of the room, with Sirius following her, for his mothers portrait had started to wail.

Remus had slowly approached the bed, "You gave me quiet a scare, Nymphodora."

"Remus," Tonks had started with a sigh, "don't call me that."

"Well, I like Nymphadora, and you like Tonks, lets compromise, any thoughts?" Remus stared at her with a small smile.

"My dad calls me Dora, how's that?"

"Beautiful." Remus said with a smile as he saw red creeping up her face.

"Works for me. Would you like so soup?" She offered. Really she did not mind it when he called her Nymphadora; he made it almost sound beautiful.

"No thank you, I must be going." He stood up and walked over to and kissed her gently on the cheek, "Goodbye Dora." And with that goodbye, he left.

Tonks heart had missed a few beats. He kissed her, Nymphodora Tonks. Tonks smiled. Did he fancy her? She thought about it for a while until Ginny came in.

"Good job Tonks!" Ginny smirked.

"What are you talking about?" Tonks asked having a feeling she already knew.

"'Goodbye Dora.'" Ginny said in a deep voice, trying to sound like Remus.

Tonks grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. "How many of you heard it?" she asked glaring at Ginny.

"Well, Hermione and I heard the whole conversation and Sirius caught us and listened to the last part with us." Ginny said starting to laugh at the murderess look on Tonks face.

"Sirius heard that!" Tonks sat up very fast spilling the soup. "But, He did not see him kiss me did he? Wait, how did you see him kiss me?"

Ginny tried to hide her laughter, "It was not that hard to figure out."

Tonks put her hand to her forehead and fell back. "Ouch!" As she had laid back she had smacked her head in the headboard. "Ah! Sirius, of all the bloody people in this house, it had to be Sirius!"



"Well, at least it wasn't, well, you should be glad that, your right, Sirius is the last person someone would wanted to hear there conversation." Ginny gave up trying to find a bright side to the situation.

"Well I better face that git sooner or later." Tonks got out of bed and went in search of Sirius. She found him humming merrily to him self as he was feeding the hippogriff, Buckbeak, "Alright Sirius, you will repeat nothing you heard or saw to anyone! Do you understand me?" Tonks had Sirius pinned against the wall. "Oh, sorry." She backed up a bit realizing she was cutting off his air supply.

"Now that I can breathe again, I won't tell anyone, as long as," Sirius said slyly.

"Yes." Tonks urged.

"As long as, you make him, happy." Sirius said trying to not laugh.

Tonks punched him, "Do not, and let me hear you say that again! Anyways I don't like him, well, as a friend I do, but I certainly don't fancy him."

"Yes, well Tonks, you can get very drunk sometimes, and you announced to the whole Weasley family, Kingsley, and I that, what was the exact words? Oh, yes," Sirius cleared his throat, "'I love Remus, he is just, ah, so, wonderful!" Sirius finished in what looked like a very girly pose.

"Why are you standing like that?" Tonks looked at him a bit worried.

"I am pretending to be in love." Sirius stood back up strait.

"I announced that to everyone!" Tonks screamed for Sirius words stated sinking in.

"That is what I said." Sirius said, now going back to grooming Buckbeak.

"Bloody hell!" Tonks was now starting to breathe really fast, "How many of, you were intoxicated?"

"Charlie and Arthur were, and did Molly ever yell at them," Sirius said chuckling.

"So, who do you think actually remembers?" Tonks was wringing her hands.

"Ginny, Molly, Ron, actually, everyone in the room, they were conspiring over dinner last night on how to get you two love birds together."

Tonks sank to the straw covered ground, "He does not even fancy me, and all of you are planning my bloody wedding!" she was now going into hysterics, "Oh my god!"

Sirius came over and sat by her. "Normally, I would say that you should forget about it, but you did not see the gleam in Ginny's eye when she was plotting. So be careful."

Sirius patted Tonks on the shoulder and then left the room. Tonks slowly got up and followed him.

"Tonks, dear, an owl has come for you." Molly said and gave her the letter as she entered the kitchen.

"Thanks Molly," Tonks turned around and went into a nearby room to read it.

Dora,

Be careful.

Remus,

She held the note close to her heart, just those two words showed that he cared about her. Tonks ran up the stairs to the room she was currently staying in for the next few nights. The note only a few minutes old, had already been crinkled from being held so tight, Tonks smoothed it out and put it under her pillow as a reminder. She laid down on the bed, remembering the days events one by one, falling, Remus's hand, falling again, his kiss, and the note. She slowly drifted off to sleep dreaming of Remus Lupin.
