Hi, this is ANOTHER Lupin/Tonks story! Just can't get enough of them! This is a one-shot about Tonks, Ginny and Hermione playing truth or dare! Enjoy!

"Tonks! Are you up for a game of truth or dare?" asked Ginny. I was just about to head downstairs to talk to Remus and Sirius. But I guess they could wait for a little while.

"Sure, let me tell the guys," I replied. I sent a Patronus telling them that I could talk later. Remus's wolf Patronus (no surprises there) said okay. I kinda expected that. "Where are we playing?"

"In here," said Ginny, and she dragged me into her and Hermione's room. Hermione sat on the bed, reading Hogwarts, A History.

"Put the book down 'Mione!" I smiled. She laughed and gently set it on the bedside table. We gathered in a circle on the floor.

"Okay, in honor of Valentine's Day, which is coming up in two months, but we can't be here, this truth or dare will be strictly about crushes and lovers and all that mushy stuff," Ginny announced.

"Truth or dare has rules?" asked Hermione.

"No. But you don't see me caring," she grinned. I got a bottle and gave it to Ginny.

"You start," I told her.

Ginny spun the bottle and it landed on Hermione. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth," she said.

"Do you like my brother?" asked Ginny.

"Which brother?" Hermione asked, blushing.

"Ron," I said.

"Yes," she said, looking at the ground.

"Good, because he likes you too," said Ginny. "Hermione, you spin!"

Hermione still looked shocked at being told that Ron liked her, but she spun nonetheless. It landed on Ginny. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth," she said.

"Do you still like Harry?"

Ginny smiled sheepishly. "Yeah."

"Merlin!" I exclaimed. "I didn't know you liked the Boy Who Lived!"

"She's liked him since his first year," said Hermione.

"I think you guys are cute together," I told Ginny.

"Thanks," she said. Then she grinned devilishly at me. She had already spun the bottle and it pointed to me.

"Truth," I said before she asked.

"Do you like Professor Lupin?" she asked, before she and Hermione howled with laughter.

"What's so funny?" I asked exasperatedly.

"Nothing, nothing at all dear," said Ginny, still giggling. "But answer my question!"

"Yes," I murmured so they couldn't hear. They looked expectantly at me. "Yes!"

"I knew it!" Ginny said, throwing her arms up in victory. "You two are perfect together!"

"He doesn't even like me that way Gin," I said sadly.

She looked like she was about to choke. "Of course he does! You don't see how he behaves when you're in the room! How his eyes sparkle! How he always catches you when you fall over that umbrella stand!"

"You gathered all that information just by looking at him?" I asked incredulously. "I look at him 24/7 and I don't see that!"

"Because you're used to seeing him like that," said Hermione. I shrugged. She did have a point. I made a constant effort to always be near him.

"Is it obvious that I like him too?" I asked nervously.

"Kinda," Ginny admitted. "The whole Order already knows."

"What?" I shrieked. She and Hermione laughed.

"Don't worry. It's okay with everyone. I actually find it sweet. He could really use someone as cheerful as you to brighten his life up a bit," Hermione said.

"Thanks 'Mione, Gin," I said gratefully. Then I spoke in an evil tone with a smirk on my face. "Time to continue the game."

I spun and it landed on Hermione. "Dare," she said boldly.

"You asked for it," I laughed, and she looked scared. "I dare you to go up to Ron and kiss him. And Ginny and I will come with you to make sure you don't cheat."

"Fine," she muttered, and we went to Harry and Ron's room. They were laying on each of their beds, facing the ceiling, talking. Hermione went over to Ron's bed, leaned over him, and kissed him on the lips for two seconds before running out of the room.

"Adios!" I said brightly to them and followed Hermione and Ginny back to their room.

"Oh my God I can't believe I just did that!" Hermione shrieked, and she flung herself onto her bed.

"Hey, I bet he enjoyed it," said Ginny. "Just think, right after you get out of Hogwarts, it'll be Hermione Weasley. Sounds good to me, you'll be my sister-in-law!"

"That would be awesome," she said.

"What about you, Ginny Potter?" I teased. She turned red. "You've gotta admit that sounds perfect."

"I know what sounds perfect: Nymphadora Lupin," Ginny smirked, and my hair turned an extremely bright and painful red.

"Okay, let's just get on with the game," said Hermione. I thanked her internally.

It landed on Ginny. "Dare." I looked at her pitifully. 'Mione could be devious.

"I dare you to kiss Harry," she said.

"I hate you so much," Ginny said, but she was smiling. We walked with her to the other room. "Harry, this is a dare," she informed him before she kissed him on the lips for six seconds. It looked like it might get deeper, but then she pulled away and walked out, grinning like an idiot.

"Enjoy yourself?" I giggled.

"Yes, very much Nymphadora," Ginny smirked. "You know what, I know it's gonna end up pointing to you, so truth or dare?"

"Dare," I said, full well knowing what it would probably mean.

"I dare you to kiss, no, make out with Professor Lupin." Hermione high-fived Ginny. My mouth dropped open in shock.

"He's gonna hate me forever! And I'm ruining a perfectly good friendship! I don't want to lose it! Please don't make me!" I pleaded.

"He won't hate you! I'm pretty sure he's hoping that you will kiss him! Because let's face it, he doesn't have the courage to go up to you and snog you senseless first!" said Hermione. I felt my jaw drop again. Was this even the real Hermione Granger?

"Fine, but if this turns out a disaster, I swear I will hex you into next Valentine's Day, or to oblivion!" I said dramatically.

"It'll be fine," Ginny assured me, and together we walked down to the living room. Sirius was passed out on the floor at Remus's feet, and Remus sat on an old armchair, reading a book. He looked so cute when he did. And I loved how he seemed to get absorbed in the book, and he couldn't hear anything unless you shouted in his ear. This time though, he looked upset.

"Good evening Nymphadora," he greeted. Another thing I loved about him, he was completely and infallibly polite. "Ginny, Hermione," he added when he saw the two girls standing in the doorway giggling at Sirius, who started to sing faintly in his alcohol-induced sleep.

"Sha la la la la la my oh my, looks like the boy's too shy, ain't gonna kiss the girl," he murmured. I bit my lip to keep from laughing. Remus chuckled quietly.

"How can you see? There's barely any light in this room?" I asked. I was taking my sweet time. But I truly was concerned. He could ruin his eyes. The room was very dark, and the only source of light was the comforting orange fire.

"It's fine. Werewolf sight." He smiled at me. I could've fainted if I hadn't remembered what I was here to do.

"So, whatcha reading?" I flipped his book over and read the title in disgust. "Werewolves: Danger to Society. Ugh, stop reading this trash!" I grabbed it and threw it swiftly into the fire.

"I suppose it wasn't a good idea to read it," he said sheepishly.

"No it wasn't," I said.

"So, was there anything you girls needed in particular?" he asked. I glanced over at Ginny and Hermione, who nodded at me.

"Yes." Then I kissed him. I could definitely and easily say that it was the best kiss I've ever had. I never thought that I'd be the one to tangle my hands in his light brown hair. Or the one to lightly touch the scars on his cheek. At first he didn't respond (probably because out of the corner of my eye, I could see Ginny and Hermione watching intently), but he did after about three seconds. His arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

After about twenty seconds (yup, I counted those few short seconds of paradise), we broke apart. I quickly jumped off of him, but not before seeing his confused expression. I ran up to the girls' bedroom, giggling.

"Tonks!" Ginny squealed, closing the door behind her and Hermione. "That was awesome!"

"What, watching me kiss your teacher?" I asked teasingly.

"Well, not exactly that. But when you left, he looked like he was in heaven," said Hermione.

"Sirius is so ironic. He was singing Kiss the Girl, and Professor Lupin's too shy to kiss you," Ginny said.

"Yeah. But it's kinda cute, in a way," I said, feeling like a little girl again.

"I know. I was singing that on purpose." We all jumped to see Sirius in the room, holding a bottle of Firewhiskey.

"When did you get in here?" I asked. I was scared to death when I suddenly heard his voice out of nowhere.

"Just a couple seconds ago," he replied, taking a large swig.

"Drowning your problems in alcohol won't help anything," Hermione said to him.

"I know, but it takes some of the pain of escaping Azkaban only to be trapped in this hellhole away," said Sirius. Hermione couldn't argue with that. "Anyway, I came here to tell you that if you don't get back down there and snog my werewolf friend senseless, I will kill you. Bye!" He apparated out of the room.

"I think you should do as he says," Ginny giggled.

"I was planning on it," I grinned.

"I can't believe an innocent game of Truth or Dare made us kiss the men we fancy," said Hermione.

"I think I'm in love with him," I confessed. "I think I have been since the first day I met him."

"Aww, that sounds romantic!" said Ginny sincerely.

"I know right," I said. "Well ladies, off to find him! See ya later!"

"Bye, and good luck!" they both said as I closed the door. I walked into the living room and Remus and I picked up where we left off.

What'd ya think? This was just a random idea I got from this really weird dream I had! Anyway, please review!
