They sat down at a small table near the window. Tonks looked at the passing Muggles and laughed softly as she saw a girl on shoes-with-little-wheels pass by and crash into an older lady. A Japanese family was looking confused into what they saw as an old warehouse with creepy dummies and dusty clothing. One of the boys was looking straight at Tonks' face but seemed to look right through her; it was a very creepy feeling.

'What do you want to drink?' Romulus asked, making her look away from the Muggles.

'A Chocopop would be lovely thanks.' she smiled.

'A Chocopop? What is that? I've never heard of it.'

'It's new, with the lovely taste of chocolate but nice and fizzling.' she answered, smacking her lips with a wink. Romulus grimaced and made his way to the bar. Tonks sat back and looked at him. Though he reminded her of Remus, there was something completely different about him. Remus always had something weary about him which Romulus was missing. But still she wondered if…

'Are you a werewolf too?' she asked quietly as he put down two wild fizzling drinks.

He smiled calmly at her and simply nodded. When she kept looking at him over the drinks he started talking; 'After our mother died our father dedicated his life to trying to capture Greyback, you know to take his mind off things. Greyback, already a big enemy of our family decided to punish him once more. He sent a pack of his 'friends' to our house while he was distracting our father by setting a trail. When they faced each other, Greyback easily could have killed him, but he didn't. He wanted our father to return and be able to see what was done to his last 'normal' son.' His face was sombre now, 'Our father killed himself for what happened to the both of us now, thought it was his fault.' Romulus snorted angrily, 'He didn't even think of what it would do to us, leaving two young werewolves without parents.' Then he looked shocked, 'Oh no I didn't mean that, I... I meant…'

'Yes you did.' Tonks whispered.

Romulus blushed, 'I know…I just don't know why I've told you that. It's just so easy to talk to you, you seem so kind and I just blurted it all out.'

'Remus apparently doesn't think so, he never told me about his 'family tragedy'.'

Romulus chuckled, 'Well, that's Remus I guess.' He was quiet and looked at her, 'So, how do you know him? Or should I ask, how well do you know him.' he asked winking suggestively.

Tonks pulled a face, 'Actually, I'm not sure. We sort of broke up.'

'How can you 'sort of' break up?' he asked. When she shrugged he grabbed her hand, 'Well it's a shame, for Remus I mean.'

Tonks was shocked by how forward Remus' brother was, so very different from the man she knew. But she actually liked it and she smiled. Romulus took this as an encouragement and bowed over to her, closing in the space between their lips and softly kissing hers. For a second Tonks hesitated. Then she decided this was the best way of getting her thoughts of Remus and kissed him back. Suddenly she knocked over her glass of Chocopop.

'Damn it, that's the second time today!' she said irritable.

His eyes were twinkling. 'It doesn't matter.', he said, vanishing the mess with his wand. He gave her the rest of his own drink and stood up. 'Let's go see my furry brother.'

Remus was awakened by the sound of the opening door. He looked at the clock to see that only half an hour had passed since Tonks had left. Now she came in again, in her 'normal' form and behind her came… his brother, Romulus. Remus sat up straight but immediately regretted it. His head was pounding and his vision was swirling. Romulus looked down at him uncomfortably.

'How are you Remus?' he asked.

Remus took a breath, 'I'm fine, thanks.' he answered pleasantly. The two brothers stared at each other more awkwardly as the silence lingered. Then Romulus looked away and walked to the window. There he stood still and looked down to the streets of Muggle-London. Remus cleared his throat.

´So…where have you been up to lately?' he asked.

Romulus shrugged and turned around again, Remus didn't like the way he looked at Tonks. 'Not much, just some business for my own…' his voice trailed away as he kept staring at Tonks. The way she looked back made a jolt of jealousy surge through Remus' body. But then she looked down at him and he saw her face soften even more. Uncertain he smiled at her.

Tonks felt many emotions at the sight of the way Remus smiled at her; doubt, hope, guilt and affection. She sat down uncomfortable as the brothers continued asking each other things about their past. She learnt that Romulus had been adopted by a French couple at the age of seven. He showed them by saying something to her in probably perfect French, after kissing her hand. She didn't understand what he had said, her French was terrible, but the look on Remus' face showed he didn't like it.

Remus then told his brother he had lived in France to for a while, after James and Lilly had died. Romulus looked a bit surprised and the two started a rapid conversation in French. Tonks didn't quite follow it so she went down to get some lunch for the three of them.

She was very confused, confused by the fact she liked Romulus so much while she hardly knew him. And then, when Remus had smiled hesitantly at her, her old feelings for him came rushing back. She felt like she was going to explode from all the emotions she felt. She thought she still liked Remus better. But was she really to wait for him while he discovered just how much they where meant to be? Maybe she should have a little 'fun' while she waited.

But that was so not like her; using someone for the fun until she could dump him again for his brother. Maybe she should just totally forget about Remus like she had planned to. But that hadn't worked. He kept swirling around in her mind, he was just so thoughtful, so sensitive, so kind… too kind. Kind enough to deny his feelings 'in favour' of her.

Tonks was very confused…

A/N: whoa, I found this chapter very hard to write. So much dialogue and thoughts. Human beings are very complicated creatures ;). Hope you'll forgive me a little slip in the English language every now an then. A bit reviewing would be nice too...it would help me improve my writing.
