Hermione helped Molly return everyone's breakfast dishes to the kitchen. She returned to the living room in time to hear Ron pose a question she'd been wanting to ask for a while.

"So, Tonks, when are you gonna sing for us again?"

The purple haired witch laughed. "I'm not sure you could call that singing."

The others laughed as well.

"Well, then, sing for us." Ron said.

"You're not serious." Tonks quirked an eyebrow.

"So serious."

"I'm not getting out of this, am I?" she grinned as a chorus of "no's" broke down her resistance. She looked around them, seeing that they were all eager. She met the eyes of the one person she wanted to please the most.

"You want me to sing?" Though they all answered, the question was meant for Hermione. At the younger girl's nod, Tonks stood, shoving her hands in her back pockets. She looked towards the ceiling, took a deep breath, and began to sing.

"She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well"

Tonks locked eyes with Hermione.

"This ain't over, no not here,
Not while I still need you around
You don't owe me, we might change

Yeah, we just might feel good."

Hermione's hand covered her mouth, her eyes never leaving Tonks, even as she looked away and continued.

"I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted,
I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Well I will

She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting
When I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya"

Both Hermione and Tonks flashed back to that night in the garden as she went on.

"And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'cuz It's a little bit dirty well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged and you,
You don't know me, I can't change

I won't do anything at all."

Tonks hoped that Hermione caught the meaning she was trying to convey. She wouldn't push, even if the song implied she would. It was too late to change her song, so she continued, albeit wryly.

I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will.

I will."

Once again, she met Hermione's eyes, lost in them even as the others clapped for her performance. Tonks waited patiently through the afternoon until Hermione went out into the garden, and she seized her chance.

"Hermione." she called softly.

Hermione turned from the view beyond the fence to face Tonks, who held out a hand to help the girl up. Neither of them made a move to let the other's hand drop. Hermione look at their fingers and began to sing softly.

"Oh, but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart,
Things get so crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this Baby, baby."

"I wanna take you for granted." Tonks whispered. "We just might feel good."

Hermione took the words as Tonks had meant them. 'We, as in Us' she thought. Hermione tugged slightly and Tonks' hand came with hers. She placed a kiss to the inside of Tonks' wrist, and let her hand fall, backing away. She turned, heading towards the Burrow and a smile flitted across Tonks face as she caught Hermione's last words.

"We just might feel good."
