He was 37 and she was 24. He was a werewolf and she was a metamorphous. They weren't exactly perfect for each other, but she knew differently. She knew it would be him and her forever.
"But I love you Remus!" She exclaimed. They were outside Grimmauld Place in the abandoned muggle park.
"Nymphdora Tonks," He sighed.
"Don't call me Nymphadora." She snapped.
"Dora Tonks," He corrected. "I'm just too old for you. I'm dangerous and poor. I'm not right for you. You deserve someone better than me!" He told her.
"Age is just a number. It would be cool dating a werewolf and we'd have each other. That's all that matters. We're perfect for each other!" She screamed, not caring about if anyone was listening.
"I'm not going to go out with you Nymphadora. Final word!" He shouted.
He had rejected her time after time. She had bounced back every time. But this time really hurt her and she knew she wasn't going to bounce back. She hung her head and started back for number 12.
"Dora, wait!" He yelled, but it was too late because she had just stepped inside the house and shut the door.
On her way to her room she saw many people but still ignored them.
"Hey Tonks!" Sirius chuckled, but she ignored him.
"Hello Nymphadora, how you doing?" Fred and George teased but she ignored them too.
When she got to her room she sat down and sobbed. A lot. For 3 hours in fact. She was interrupted by Remus knocking on her door.
"Who is it?" She stuttered while drying her eyes.
"Me." He replied while opening the door.
"What do you want?" She snapped, blinking back the tears.
"To apologise. I was heartless, I just don't want you to get hurt. Because, well, it's because I love you." He admitted. She gasped.
"I really love you Remus!" She said, with a cheesy grin.
"Let's go make it known we're together then." He winked.
They ran down the stairs, hand in hand, giggling like children.
They bumped into Sirius who chuckled to himself. "So you feeling better now Tonks?"
"Much better!" She grinned.
"Hey, Sirius old pal. Me and your little cousin here are now dating!" Remus exclaimed.
"A brilliant couple!" He yelled, and then walked away.
"We are a good couple aren't we?" She whispered.
"A perfect couple."
