Harry walked into Grimmauld Place, Lupin and Tonks were carrying his trunk, eyeing each other nervously. Harry went upstairs, Tonks and Lupin walked into the kitchen quietly shutting the door. Tonks wasn't paying much attention, instead noticing that someone was flicking dung bombs at the impertable charmed door, Probably Ginny, she thought to herself, I taught her how to do that earlier today. Tonks laughed quietly to herself. Remus was, as always, paying close attention to mad eye's boring lecture. But today was different, mad eye's usual lecture didn't attract his attention as much, as something else did. The newest member, and Sirius's cousin. Suddenly Remus noticed that everyone was packing up their belongings and walking out the door. Tonks was walking out the kitchen door, but instead of going towards the front door, she turned upstairs, as the rest of the rare few who were staying at Grimmauld Place did. A red haired Weasley came running out of the room,

"Hi! Tonks!" said Ginny.

"Wotcher Ginny!" Tonks said, cheerfully.

"What was the meeting about?"Ginny asked, excitedly.

"I'm not supposed to tell!" Tonks tried to argue.

"You can't keep secrets, admit it and come up to me and Hermione's room so I can find out!" Ginny pleaded.

"Ginny..." Tonks mumbled as she walked into the room. "It was a pretty boring meeting, Mad Eye gave his speech, and I wasn't paying much attention... instead noticing that someone was flicking dung bombs at the door." Tonks said eyeing Ginny.

"You taught me that!" Ginny said defensively. "Are you staying tonight?" Ginny asked Tonks.

"Yup!" Tonks replied.

"Do you want to stay in Me and 'mione's room? It could be like a sleep over!" Ginny said excitedly.

"Sure!" Tonks replied. Hermione walked in the room, with a rather large, boring looking book in her hand. She didn't even notice Tonks and Ginny silently laughing. I wonder how she can walk and read at the same time without tripping, Tonks thought, I certainly can't do that! Tonks walked up behind Hermione... Tonks took Hermione's hood and flipped it over her head.

"Merlin's Pants Tonks!" Hermione shouted.

"It was just so tempting!" Tonks replied, now on the floor laughing at Hermione's reaction.

"Tonks is staying with us tonight! I invited her to!" Ginny said, shaking with laughter.

"Or we could stay in that room down the hall, it's huge and no one's using it!" Tonks said, now able to stand up.

"What room? Since when is there a room down the hall that no one's using?" Hermione asked.

"Since I went down there to explore! And I now know this house like the back of my hand!" Tonks said.

"Ok so we can stay in there!" Ginny said, picking up a few things, "You comin'?" Ginny asked the other two. Tonks and Hermione started walking out the door, following Ginny.

"I'll sleep here!" Tonks said claiming the love seat.

"I'll sleep here!" Ginny said claiming the overstuffed chair.

"and I'll sleep here..." Hermione said claiming a carpeted piece of floor. "look at the time!" Hermione continued, "It's already 10:00 pm! I thought it was around 8:00!"

"Hermione, you have no sense of time, the meeting started at 8:00!" Ginny told her friend.

"I don't pay attention to the time." Tonks said, "unless I'm in a meeting...I'll be back, gotta grab some stuff from my flat!" and with that Tonks apparated out. Meanwhile Remus was having an argument with Sirius.

"am not!" Remus said louder than necessary.

"am too!" Sirius sang.

"Not!"

"To! You are dating my dear baby cousin, Nymphadora!" Sirius taunted, loudly.

"Not so loud Sirius! She'll here!" Remus said trying to shush his friend.

"Oh so you are dating Nymphadora?" Sirius said even louder.

"If you don't shut up, I will- Hi Nymphadora!" Remus said quickly. Tonks mumbled something about not being able to apparate to the right place.

"Don't call me Nymphadora Remus! It's Tonks, how many times do I have to tell you?" Tonks walked up and hugged Remus, "Sorry I have to get back to Ginny and Hermione!" She said walking out and dragging a bag behind her, slightly stumbling up the stairs. Sirius poked his head around the corner,

"Oh I see!" Sirius smirked. Remus made an attempt to strangle Sirius, but Sirius swerved out of the way, and ran into another room.

"So what are we going to do?" Ginny asked once Tonks was back.

"I don't know" Tonks said shrugging, "What about you, Hermione? Hermione? HERMIONE!" Hermione dropped her book.

"What was that for, Tonks?" Hermione said, rubbing her ear.

"You weren't listening. Could I see that book?" Tonks said innocently. Hermione handed her the book, Tonks ran out of the room.

"What is she doing with my book?" Hermione asked Ginny.

"I don't know, but when Remus was reading a book, that Tonks didn't think he should be reading, she threw it in the fire." Ginny said.

"Oh God! What was the book called?" Hermione asked, sounding a bit worried.

"Werewolves: and their danger to society" Ginny replied. Tonks walked in the room.

"Where's my book?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"I hid it!" Tonks said happily.

"Where?" Hermione asked still suspicious.

"Why would I say?" Tonks said smiling, with a 'Black' smirk on her face. Hermione shot her a glare that didn't have an effect on Tonks. "We could play truth or dare" Tonks said, with the smirk on her face.

"Ok!" Ginny said enthusiastically.

"fine..." Hermione said nervously.

"I'll go first!" Tonks said, "Truth or dare 'Mione?"

"Truth!" Hermione answered quickly.

"Do you fancy Ron?" Tonks said, with the returning smirk.

"Ron who?" Hermione said nervously looking at the ground.

"Ron Weasley of course!" Tonks said, With a 'Sirius' smirk.

"yesh" Hermione answered, mumbling it rather quickly.

"What? I didn't catch that!" Tonks said.

"Yes! I fancy Ron Weasley!" Hermione said getting a bit annoyed. Ginny and Tonks started snickering. "My Turn! Who do you fancy Tonks?" Hermione added with a smirk.

"You didn't ask truth or dare!" Tonks said happily, now knowing her 'truth' question.

"Fine, Truth or dare Tonks?" Hermione asked, a bit annoyed.

"Dare!" Tonks laughed.

"I dare you to tell us who you fancy!" Hermione said, happy that she could trick Tonks for once.

"Remus!" Tonks said, clearly.

"You fancy Professor Lupin?" Hermione said in between laughs.

"What's wrong with that?" Tonks said, threatingly.

"It's just that, well, you're so, energetic-" Hermione started.

"but lazy" Ginny interrupted, "And he's so, Hermione like"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hermione asked, sounding offended.

"You read and study too much." Ginny said.

"Can we just move on?" Tonks said getting annoyed.

"Truth or dare, Ginny?" Tonks asked.

"Truth..." Ginny muttered, Knowing the question.

"Are you dating Harry?" Tonks said, smiling, and knowing the answer.

"Yes" Ginny said.

"I knew it!" Tonks laughed. Ginny mumbled something under her breath.

"Truth or dare Tonks?" Ginny asked.

"Truth!" Tonks said.

"Are you dating Professor Lupin?" Ginny asked with a smirk.

"Yesh..." Tonks mumbled staring at her feet. Ginny started laughing.

"I knew it!" Ginny laughed. Hermione, somehow, had another book.

"Truth or dare hermione?" Tonks asked.

"Dare" Hermione answered.

"I dare you to give me that book, and any book you hid in this room." Tonks said, with a smirk.

"Fine..." Hemrione said, mumbling something about Tonks knowing her way too well. She gave Tonks the book. Reaching under the love seat pulling about 6 more books out and handing them to tonks.

"Thank you!" Tonks said walking out of the room with all 7 of the books in her hands. Tonks walked back in the room a few minutes later.

"Tonks..." Hermione mumbled.

"Yes?" Tonks asked innocently. Hermione snickered and relaxed against the love seat. "So-Bloody-tired!" Tonks said into a pillow.

"Tonks!" Hermione scolded.

"What?" Tonks asked.

"Language!" Hermione scolded.

"English!" Tonks said into the pillow. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I'd have to say I'm with Tonks..." Ginny said settling into the overstuffed chair.

"Me too." Hermione said pulling a sleeping bag over herself. All three of the girls fell asleep.
