Remus and Tonks

Remus and Tonks

It was a few weeks later and Remus and Tonks had certainly been getting a lot closer recently. Everyone had noticed it, yet they were still adamant nothing was going on between them.

One day Fawkes and Dobby were sitting in the Great Hall discussing it. Well Fawkes was sitting anyway. Dobby was too busy cleaning the windows to sit.

"So you think they are going out then?" Dobby asked as he leapt from stepladder to stepladder cleaning a window.

"Yeah I think they must be! We should try and catch them or something! It would be funny!" Fawkes replied, flying over to Dobby's stepladders and holding them still for him before he fell off.

"Thanks Fawky," Dobby said, grinning at his friend as he continued his monotonous task of cleaning the windows for the third time that morning. "So where do you think we'll catch them then?"

"Maybe somewhere in Hogsmeade?" Fawkes suggested, looking out the window in the direction of the Wizarding village down the road.

"Yeah! In the pub! Tonks likes pubs!" Dobby said excitedly. "Maybe we could go now?"

And they headed off towards the Three Broomsticks together to try and find Tonks and Remus. However, when they arrived they couldn't find her so they looked for Mad-Eye instead as he worked with Tonks. When they found him they ran over to him.

"Mad-Eye!" they cried in unison, Dobby hugging him and Fawkes sitting on his staff like a parrot.

"What do you two want?" he asked, irritably.

"We're looking for Tonks!" Dobby replied, looking around for her.

"And Remus!" Fawkes added, also looking around for them.

"Oh right! They'll be in the café together having a "private conversation" as usual," Mad-Eye said rolling his eyes. "But then that's young love for you I guess."

"So they are in love?" Dobby asked excitedly.

"Of course they are!" Mad-Eye replied and Fawkes and Dobby grinned at each other.

"Let's go find them," Fawkes said, taking off from Mad-Eye's shoulder and flying towards the café. Dobby scampered after him, dodging all the people as he chased Fawkes. They arrived together outside the café and Dobby opened the door, managing to hold it open just long enough for Fawkes to get in as well. They saw Tonks and Remus sitting together at a table holding hands. They walked over to the table and looked at them both but neither of them realised they were there.

"Hello!" they said in unison, making them both jump.

"Wotcher," Tonks said, laughing.

"Hello," Remus smiled. "What are you two doing here then?"

"Mad-Eye said you'd be here and we thought we'd come and see you," Fawkes replied, grinning at them.

"Any particular reason or just because Mad-Eye said we'd be here?" Tonks asked, laughing at Fawkes and Dobby trying to move a chair between them. She stood up and moved the chair for them so that Dobby could sit down and Fawkes could perch on the back of the chair.

"Thanks Tonks!" Dobby said, climbing onto the chair and sitting down, Fawkes flying onto the back of the chair and perching there.

"We just wanted to see if you were ok after the thing a few weeks ago with the death eaters," Fawkes replied, almost falling off the chair as Dobby shuffled around. Remus laughed as Dobby shuffled even more to turn round and see what Remus was laughing at and Fawkes fell off.

"Sorry Fawky!" Dobby said, getting off the chair and helping his friend to get up.

Remus and Tonks looked at each other and smiled. Dobby and Fawkes looked at Remus and Tonks smiling at each other and they smiled as well, realising they really were in love. "It's ok Dobby," Fawkes replied, ruffling his feathers, "We should probably be getting back as it's almost dinner time," Fawkes added.

Dobby nodded "Yeah don't want starving students, do we Fawky?"

"No we don't!"

"Bye Tonks! Bye Remus!" they called in unison, heading out of the café and down the road. They stopped once they were a fair way down the road and looked back to the café to see Remus and Tonks kissing. "They're in love!" they said, again in unison and headed back to the castle to feed the students.
