Hi, I decided to write a second chapter today, because there wasn't any Remus/Tonks action yet, and I just had to write their epic meeting, so here it is!

Thirty minutes later, I went to Kingsley's cubicle. We did side-along Apparation to 12 Grimmauld Place. Personally, I was expecting something more beautiful, fancy, and clean. The Black household was old, dingy and dirty.

"Such a nice sight, isn't it?" asked Kingsley jokingly.

I cringed at the thought of describing this place as nice. "It's about as ugly as it gets. Sometimes I wonder if they hid the house between 11 and 13 cause it's so ugly!"

Kingsley laughed. "Alright, let's go inside. The meeting will start soon."

"Okey-dokey," I said. I turned around to make sure no one was looking, and Kingsley opened the door.

"C'mon," he said. We walked down the dark hallway, and just as I was about to walk into the room, I tripped over something.

"Ah!" I hit the ground. I realized that I tripped over a troll's leg. Who would use that as an umbrella stand? Someone started screaming in the background, and I already knew who it was. Sirius's mother. Lovely woman she is. Probably the one to put this stupid umbrella stand here. I'll bet that she was a Seer, and she put that umbrella stand for me as a punishment for Mum marrying a Muggle-born. Stupid Aunt Walburga.

"Are you alright?" I looked up and into warm, chocolate-brown eyes. I was startled and immediately tried standing up.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I managed to say. I got to see his face for the first time when I backed up a bit.

He had scars and lines all across his prematurely lined face, though I thought he was quite handsome. He was taller than me, at least five foot ten. His hair was light brown, but flecked with gray. His eyes sparkled with youth and energy, even though the rest of his face looked exhausted. To put it simply, he was a young man who went through an old man's sufferings. I'd say he was about Sirius's age, 35. He had shabby clothes, yet I thought that if he didn't have them, he'd look very different. It suited him.

And the best and worst thing about him was that I was immediately attracted to him.

He held out his hand and smiled kindly at me. Like I said, handsome. "I'm Remus Lupin."

I shook it. "I'm Tonks."

He looked a bit confused. "Is that your first name?"

No! Stupid first name. "No, it's Nymphadora, but if you call me that, I will hex you into next Christmas without hesitating."

He chuckled. "I'll take your word for it, but I think Nymphadora is a beautiful name." I admit, it sounded prettier when he said it. He had a bit of an accent. Welsh, maybe. I don't know.

Then I heard footsteps from behind Remus and saw Sirius. He was still handsome, even though he looked thinner and a bit sick, kinda like Remus. We stared at each other for a couple seconds before I jumped into his arms.

"Sirius! I knew you were innocent! Never doubted it!" I cried as he swung me around.

"It's good seeing you too Nymphadora." He laughed. I glared at him and he put me down. "What?"

"Don't call me Nymphadora," I said, my hair turning a bright red. Remus looked at my hair and I giggled. "I'm a metamorphmagus."

He nodded. "We best get back, the meeting is starting right now." Now that I think of it, his voice was a bit hoarse. Hot.

I sat in between Sirius and Remus. We were probably waiting for Dumbledore.

He Apparated in and we all jumped.

Dumbledore laughed, his eyes twinkling. "I'm sorry I'm late. Had a bit of an argument with a portrait in my office."

"Was it Phineas Nigellus?" asked Sirius.

"Yes. He is quite, ah, loud, when voicing the reasons why he doesn't like me as Headmaster," said Dumbledore. He turned to me and smiled. "Back to business. Tonight, we'd like to welcome a new member of the Order, Nymphadora Tonks. She's an Auror."

I was a bit saddened at the reactions of the other members. They probably didn't expect me to be an Auror because of how I looked. But I was happy that Remus smiled at me, as though he expected me to be an Auror. Sirius patted my shoulder.

Then I remember that Dumbledore used my first name. "Please call me Tonks."

"Yes. I'm sorry Tonks, I always forget. Is there anything else you'd like to add?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah. I'm also a metamorphmagus," I said. I changed my hair to electric blue, bright yellow and then rainbow colors before changing it back to its usual bubblegum pink.

After my introduction, I sat down and listened to Snape's extremely boring report. Sirius and I were kicking each other's feet, but I noticed that Remus was listening intently. How could he do that? It was so boring, I could die.

When the meeting was finally over, I stood up and stretched. My hair turned a really light purple, which meant I was a bit tired. I quickly changed it back to its former pink.

Just as I was about to head to the kitchen to follow Sirius and Remus, Snape went in front of me.

"Hello Nymphadora," he sneered.

"Snape," I said.

"It's nice seeing you again, though your still changing your hair into silly colors," he said.

"I'd rather have my silly colored hair than your greasy hair," I said. Sirius laughed from behind Snape and pushed him to the side.

"Good one, Nymphy!" He grinned.

"Thanks, dear cousin," I said with mock elegance. I followed him into the kitchen, which smelled absolutely heavenly.

Before I could blink, a woman with flaming red hair and an apron was in front of me.

"Hello dear, I'm Molly Weasley. We must get you something to eat, your too thin!" she fussed immediately. I liked her already. I could tell she cared. She was definitely the mother type.

"I'm-" I started.

"I know who you are dearie, now sit down, I'll get you some mashed potatoes," she said, and practically flew to the other side of the kitchen. I sat down next to Sirius and across from Remus.

"I see you've met Molly. She's a wonderful cook, and a great mother, but she'll fuss over anyone who seems to thin. Just last week, she gave me one huge plate of pasta that could be a month's meal." Remus smiled.

I laughed. "Well, at least she cares."

"Yes, that is a good thing. I wouldn't have enough money to go out and buy food all the time," he said before blushing. He and Sirius shared a look that I almost didn't catch. I'd find out what they were hiding later.

Molly set a huge plate in front of me with chicken and mashed potatoes. Remus was right, this was a month's meal. But I smiled graciously and ate part of it anyway.

"So, Nymphy, can you come here tomorrow? Ginny's at Hermione's house with Ron for the night, and they'll be back tomorrow," said Sirius.

"Sure. I'll come after work." Then I remembered. "Wait, can I come the day after that? I have a date tomorrow."

Something flickered in Remus's eyes. Hurt, jealousy? I don't know, but his eyes lost the sparkle in them.

Sirius didn't notice. "Okay. They'll be here till school starts anyway."

"Thanks," I said. Then I noticed that it was ten o'clock. "I've gotta go, don't wanna fall asleep during work tomorrow."

"Bye," said Sirius.

"Adios," I said. I turned to face Remus. "Nice meeting ya."

"It was a pleasure," he said, smiling. I smiled too. It was so cute the way that he was very polite and old-fashioned.

After saying goodbye to the rest of the Order, I walked out into the warm August air, still smiling with anticipation that I'd see Remus again in two days.

So, what'd ya think? Please review!
