I would really really really love reviews you know? Or else I'll assume you lot don't like this story at all –pouts childishly-
Two weeks later found Remus in Grimmauld's kitchen after an order meeting, trying to relax. Unfortunately, he couldn't. Not with Sirius singing, extremely badly, and dancing with Tonks, who was looking more than slightly annoyed.
"Sirius, I think you should release Nymphadora before she hexes you," he said wearily.
"Too right I bloody well will," exclaimed Tonks, trying to escape Sirius' grasp.
"Language, dear Nymmie," said Sirius, cheerfully steering Tonks around the room and humming an out of tune song, "Molly may come down and wash your mouth out."
"She really would do that," Remus chuckled.
"Moony!" Sirius exclaimed, turning himself and Tonks around so they were facing him, "I forgot you were here, mate!"
"I'm sure you did," he told his friend drily.
"Uh huh, caught in the moment and all that crap," said Sirius, twirling his cousin out of his hands and into the cupboard.
He rushed over to her, offering his hand to help her up and glared at Sirius. Nymphadora tripped over quite enough without Sirius adding to it.
"Thanks Remus," Tonks muttered, taking his hand and pulling herself up, "At least someone in here has manners," and she glared at Sirius.
Sirius raised his hands in mock surrender, "Chill out little cousin! I can't help that I'm happy that the Order's finally going to plan how to get my godson here soon!"
"Yes, but you could celebrate without forcing me to dance with you," Tonks said, angrily.
She looked adorable when she was angry, he observed. The way her eyes sparkled, the way her mouth was set and . . . He shook his head. Where were these thoughts coming from?
"It was wrong to think of her like that. And unfair too," he thought bitterly.
"Well, sor-ree if I offended you by dancing with you," said Sirius sarcastically.
Remus decided to make an input before the Black temper began to emit from both of them. "He will definitely be welcomed back," he told both of him.
"Definitely," Stated Sirius with a grin
"Apparently, Molly really wants to feed him up," said Tonks with a smile, lighting up her whole face.
"Molly wants to feed everyone up," Remus informed her, "Me and Sirius found out the hard way,"
"Dare I ask how?" Tonks asked cheekily
"Not unless you want me to obliviate you," stated Sirius firmly.
"Why would you need to do that?" Tonks asked curiously
"Curiosity killed the cat, Nymphadora." He advised her.
"Good thing I'm not a cat then," Tonks retorted, "And don't call me that,"
"He didn't call you, that," proclaimed Sirius, "He called you, Nym-"
Tonks slapped her hand across his mouth and said to him, "Mum always did tell me that he could never take a hint."
"She's right," Remus replied. "Have you told your mother about the Order?"
She smiled at him and said, "Yeah, I told her."
"And?" he prompted
"And she was happy for me but she told me to stay far away from Bellatrix if I ever had to fight her," Tonks said slightly bitterly.
"I'm sure she's just trying to look after you," Remus said, privately he thought that Bellatrix shouldn't come within two miles of Nymphadora.
"I know, but I'm a big girl now," she said, sighing
"Did you tell her about me?" Sirius asked hopefully. Remus knew Andromeda was his favourite cousin and it killed him that she thought he was a murderer.
She smiled again, he liked it when she smiled, and said, "Of course I did, Sirius. She was in shock when I first told her, then she started crying, then she laughed and then she called you a git."
"Sounds like Andy hasn't changed," Sirius muttered
"Who hasn't changed?" asked Molly, returning to the kitchen with a bloody nosed George.
"My mother," replied Tonks, "I told her about the Order."
"That's great, dear; I always liked Andromeda," Molly said absentmindedly, "Georgie you should really know not to duel."
"Mum, I'm fine," whined George, struggling against his mother's hold.
"Now you are," scolded Molly, waving her wand and the blood was gone. He scampered out of the kitchen and pounded up the stairs.
"Will your parents join the Order?" he asked Tonks with a smile on his face.
"I don't know, they might," Tonks replied, looking thoughtful, "She's coming over in a couple of days."
"What? You never told us that!" exclaimed Sirius, looking like he was about to dance with Tonks again
"Oh no you don't," she declared, whipping her wand out. In a second Sirius' face was bombarded by flying Bogies.
"Oi!" Sirius yelled, trying to fend them off
"Don't say I didn't warn you," she said grinning, "Bye!" Then she waved to him and Molly, who hugged her, and walked out.
"She's just going to leave me like this?"
"Stop whining, mate," Remus admonished.
"Finite Incantatem," said Molly calmly and the flying bogies vanished "Did I miss something?"
"Sirius was so happy that Andromeda was coming over and the Order was going to plan to get Harry that he decided to dance with Tonks."
"Remind me not to do that again," Sirius muttered
"You deserved it, Sirius," said Molly, leaving the kitchen again when it sounded like someone had fallen down the stairs.
"Why is everyone against me today?" spluttered Sirius, "Does is say on the calendar, 'Hate Sirius Day'?"
Remus walked over to the calendar and said with a grin on his face, "Yup, it is right here and it also says that Tonks is on top of the list for hexing you."
"Oh ha ha, really funny Moony," Sirius muttered then his face brightened. "You should really just kiss her y'know,"
He immediately felt uncomfortable so uneasily replied, "Molly? She's not really my type, Padfoot."
"Not Molly, you dolt, she's married," Sirius said, "I meant my cousin once removed or whatever,"
"Tonks?" Remus spluttered.
"Yeah, her; the one that hates being called by her first name, falls over everything and has bright pink hair. Most commonly known as Tonks, as you fully well know." Sirius said impatiently.
"Why would I want to kiss her?" he replied, trying to not think of Tonks kissing him. It was a nice image.
"I've seen the way you look at her, how your eyes follow her around the room and how she looks at you," Sirius revealed, "You both fancy each other. Kiss her."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Sirius,"
"I think you do but you're too stupid to admit it,"
"I definitely do not fancy Nymphadora Tonks, Sirius," Remus started, "And she does not have feelings for me and if she did we couldn't be together. Stop making things up."
"You technically just admitted you liked her," Sirius said gleefully, "And why couldn't you be together?"
"She would deserve someone far better," he said dejectedly
"You are not going to hide behind the werewolf excuse again," instructed Sirius
"I'm too old and too poor," Remus expressed
"And she wouldn't care," Sirius stated, looking at him sternly.
