A/N: So here's another chapter! I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I am simply doing something productive with my fangirlness and excessive amount of time on my hands.

Tonks woke the next morning almost as exhausted as when she fell asleep. All night she had dreamt of Remus. For what reason, she couldn't quite admit to herself.

Now we must remember here, my dear reader, that Tonks wasn't stupid. It might be obvious to us, but there was a war going on. Blossoming love is not the first thing you're thinking about when you're fighting Voldemort. And apparently, when you date coworkers, it generally doesn't turn out well. But I digress.

Tonks woke from her Remus-riddled dreams, and realized it was the day of the mission. Immediately after that, she realized that she hadn't packed yet. She quickly threw together a rucksack with a weeks worth of supplies in it. When Moody had told her that she had to spend a week alone with Remus, she couldn't believe her ears. But since her ears were a reliable source of cold, hard facts, she had managed to accept it. A week. Alone. With him. And his voice. And his ability to say her name. She was going to go insane.

Tonks changed her hair into a nondescript, mousy brown and walked out of her flat. She was going to meet Remus in front of Flourish and Blotts, him wearing a tan trench coat and her wearing a grey t-shirt under a black denim jacket. A secret code was going to be exchanged. It was all very elaborate.

She quickly scurried through the Leaky Cauldron and through Diagon Alley, making no eye contact and shaking off the people who tried to offer her "Protective Enchantments."

Tonks got to the meeting place at the same time as Remus, very convenient. It was not a good time to be standing awkwardly outside of shops for an unknown length of time. She nodded at the figure clothed in a trench coat. "I adore lightning storms. Hopefully we'll get one soon. It might drive away this ominous weather." The weather was dreadful. There hadn't been a sunny day since the day in the Department of Mysteries. Tonks pushed aside a little shiver at the thought of the day.

"Yes, but lightning striking might cause a wildfire." It was definitely Remus. Good. Tonks let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding. Turning to face him, she said, "Shall we go then?"

Remus smiled a half-smile. "Yes. We shall, Nymphadora"

They Apparated to the Tonks' family residence, they would spend a night there and then they would have to hike a mile to the lookout place. There were wards a half-mile around the spot that prevented Apparation, not unlike Hogwarts'. Tonks had a feeling this was going to be a long week.

The moment they arrived at the house, they were assaulted. Tonks' mother rushed outside, as if she had been standing at the window waiting for them to arrive.

"Dora, honey, how have you been, have you been eating well? Obviously not, you're much too thin. And you must be Remus Lupin, am I correct? Well, come in, come in, these are dangerous times and we mustn't stand around chatting." Andromenda ushered them inside. Remus gave Tonks a bewildered look, before turning to Andromenda and graciously answering all of her questions, no he would not like a sandwich now, but later maybe, they had no trouble at all coming here, and yes, perhaps he would like to sit down and rest for a bit.

"Dora, would you mind showing our guest to the guest room?"

Tonks grimaced, in an attempt to smile, "Of course, right this way."

She walked out of the room and into the too-small hallway. She could feel his breath panting in the suddenly stifling air. Quickly walking down the corridor, she opened the door to a quaint room. After he set his pack down, Remus turned to her and looked as if he was going to say something, but Tonks pretended not to notice and walked out as quickly as she could manage. She made her way back to the kitchen with her mother, and grabbing her rucksack, she went to her childhood room. The only things preserved from her teenage years were her posters of obscure muggle rock bands, and the bright purple walls. She didn't even like the bands. The only reason she had them up and had studied them excessively while she was supposed to be studying for classes, was because she had been one of those people that think if it's mainstream, it should be avoided at all costs. She had sorely regretted it when it came to her O. and N.E.. Tonks set down her pack and took down the posters, slowly and methodically. She then rolled them up and tucked them in the wardrobe.

Tonks was going to go and visit her father in his study, but a sudden wave of exhaustion suddenly hit her, and she drifted down to sleep.

A/N: Did you enjoy? If so, please review! If you didn't enjoy, then please review and tell me why! If it's some personal vendetta, I will ignore you. I will also ignore you if it's not constructive criticism. I don't know when I'll update again, because the last Harry Potter movie opens in five days and I need to prepare for the amazingness. X3
