I think I had a brainwave. Putting it on paper now I think this story ends here now that they have finally met. Though I may add on later if needs be. Please do let me know what you think of it.

I would like to thank all those who took time to read, review, favourite or follow this story. If I have not replied to any of your reviews, I apologise. Thank you for supporting me through my venture

"Plushie meet Cuddles. Cuddles meet Plushie!"

That was all that came out of Sirius's mouth before he felt the heat and next thing he knew was that somehow he was on the floor and immobile; and hurt. He could vaguely make out two figures hovering above him.

"That's interesting. What did you hit him with?"

"Stinging hex. You? "

"Jelly Legs jinx."

"I like the combination. Tentacles and boils."

"Not to mention the colour, reminds me of the pansies in our garden."

"Now that my annoying friend is out of the way, can we start over again? I'm Remus Lupin and I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience you had to face- "

"No! Please don't apologise. I'm sure I've made a colossal fool of myself and not mention all the beans Sirius would have spilled," interrupted Tonks as she shuddered with the thought.

"Well then, shall we try again. They do say third time is the charm. I'm Remus Lupin, an old friend of Sirius," he smiled, extending his hand.

"Nymhadora Tonks, Sirius' cousin who prefers to be addressed by her last name," she replied as she grabbed his hand.

"Point taken Tonks. Breakfast?"

"Starving."

"I'm afraid we seem to be all out of bread. Would you like some cereal instead?" asked Remus as he ushered her towards the table.

"Cereal's good. But what do we do with Mr. Tentacles and boils?" she asked nodding her head at Sirius' prone figure.

"Aah, I'm not sure. We can hardly admit him into St. Mungo's Spell Damage ward now, can we? And I doubt either of us is capable of handling such extensive damage; we might do more harm than good," he replied with a smirk.

"Hmm… You're right. I bet Moody can though. And I'm sure he'll be more than glad to have Sirius volunteer for his Constant Vigilance Campaign in front of the whole Order before turning him back to normal," she countered with a grin.

"Why Miss Tonks, you are a woman after my own heart. I believe we shall get along famously."

"I second that opinion Mr. Lupin. To a new friendship. Shall we seal it with cereal?"

Sirius could only watch in horror as his cousin and best friend continued to ignore him and eat their breakfast; as he lay on the floor awaiting his doom.

…FIN….. for now, I think.
