The meeting continued and Remus continued to ignore Tonks's gaze. He couldn't bare to see her with someone else.
When the meeting had finished Tonks decided to stay behind to talk to him. She had no luck. When everyone left he followed the crowd and went upstairs.
"What's up with him?"Tonks asked Sirius in a concerned tone.
"I'm not completely sure"Sirius sighed.
"But you have an idea?"Tonks asked. She's very witty, he should have known better. Sirius remained silent and went to go to the kitchen.
"Drink?"He offered.
"What's going on?"She asked again.
"I'm assuming your not drinking because of work"Sirius said trying to change the subject. Tonks took the bottle of alcohol out oh his hand and placed it behind her.
"Sirius"She said in a stern tone.
"What?"Sirius lied whilst trying to grab the alcohol back. She saw this and grabbed it first. She then undid the lid and held it close to her face.
"I'll drink the whole thing if you don't tell me"Tonks said stubbornly.
"You know how strong sunset rum is right, you wont finish it" Sirius said almost laughing.
"Try me"She replied. Sirius tried her bluff and gestured for het to drink. Tonks wasn't bluffing and withing two minutes had drunk the whole bottle. Of course Sirius had tried to stop her but had failed.
"Oh boy"Sirius said.
"I...I told...you"She stuttered. "Now...tell...tell me"
"ummm ok"Sirius said. He got a glass of water from the side. "Drink this"He said softly. She grabbed the cup and the dropped it besides her.
"I..I'm fine"She said. Tonks then let goof the sides and tried to walk away. She fell to the side but Sirius caught her.
"Remus"Sirius called. "We have a problem"
"Hey I ….I'm not a ...problem"She replied. Lupin ran down the stairs to find a drunk Tonks sat ona seat next to Sirius. He ran up to her side and saw the empty bottle.
"That was full earlier, why did she drink all of that"Lupin quizzed.
"Long story"Sirius replied bluntly.
"Why…why are you talking as if I'm….not..not here"Tonks said whilst getting up from leaning against Sirius and tapping Lupin dramatically with her second finger. Remus gave Sirius a stern look and then gently grabbed Tonks's arms and led her to the sofa.
"Sit down Tonks"He said softly. She nodded dramatically and plonked herself on the sofa.
"You wanna know…why..I drunk all of that booze"She slurred.
"Tonks think"Sirius interrupted . Lupin looked at his friend then looked back at Tonks. She then closed her eyes and fell back onto the sofa unconscious .
"I cant leave you for two seconds" Lupin sighed whilst looking at his friend seriously.
"She's fine"Sirius lied.
"ReallY?"Lupin sighed."She's really drunk".
"We'll take shifts making sure she dosent die?"Sirius asked.
"I'll take first shift then" Lupin sighed. Sirius nodded and then went upstairs. Lupin grabbed the blanket from behind the sofa and placed it over Tonks. He then sat in the arm chair nearby and began reading his news paper.
A couple of days passed and it was Saturday. The order agreed that a party would be a good thing to lighten the mood. Bill suggested they have a masquerade party to make things more agreed and that's what would happen.
Sirius and Remus were already there due to them living there. They used magic to move all of the furniture into the attic but left the table and moved it to the side for food. There was no fancy food just hand food like sausage rolls.
Sirius was wearing a blood red jacket with a white shirt. His mask was black and for effect he tied his hair back into a small ponytail which Lupin found rather amusing.
Lupin was wearing a old fashioned brown suit with a small leather mask covering his face.
The first guests began to arrive which included the were all dressed smartly other than Fred and George who came in their normal clothes with ridiculous masks. It was clear that it was them simply because if the humor gone behind the masks.
As more and more people entered the music began to play. Rumor had it that even Dumbldore had shown up.
Remus went towards the table of food and grabbed a non alcoholic drink . There was no alcohol there anyway due to some wizards there being underaged. Sirius however carried a small beaker filled with rum in case of emergencies. He grabbed his cup and turned around.
He turned around to see a beautifully dressed woman. Her hair was long ,a shimmering black that flowed effortlessly. She was wearing a knee length purple dress and black gloves up to her eyes are a deep purple.
"Hello"She smiled.
He looked at what he could see of her face and recognized her immediately. She smiled when she realized this.
"Hello Tonks" He said whilst nodding to her jokingly . The pair laughed for a second.
"May I have this dance?"She asked. He nodded a her and they walked towards where everyone was song War Of began slow dancing and Remus froze for a second.
"Something worng"Tonks asked worriedly.
"No, Nothing"Remus smiled back. He gently put his hands around her waist and she put her hands on his shoulder.
Come to me in the night hours,
I will wait for you,
And I cant sleep,
Thoughts devour,
Thoughts of you consume,
Remus's gaze moved for a second to see Sirius raising a glass at him. For once he didn't care what his mocking friend had to say, for the first time in a while he was calm, happy.
He moved his gaze back to Tonks and smiled.
I cant help but love you,
Even though I try not to,
I cant help but want you,
I know that I'd die without you,
Tonks met his gaze and for a second and for that second it was as if nobody else was there.
Stay with me a little longer ,
I will wait for you,
Shadows creep ,
And want grows stronger,
Deeper than the truth,
"You look very elegant tonight"Remus complimented jokingly.
"Thank you , I don't usually hear that much"She joked back.
I cant help but love you,
Even though I try not to,
I cant help but want you,
I know that I'd die without you,
I cant help but be wrong it the dark,
But I'm overthrown by this war of hearts,
I cant help but let oceans depart ,
I'm over thrown in this war of heart,
"This song is beautiful" Tonks smiled. Remus nodded and smiled at her.
"May I cut in" A familiar voice said. Remus moved to reveal Bill in his useless mask. She forced a smile at him and then danced. All of a sudden the music lost it's value and the night lost it's touch.
Remus looked at the pair and met Tonks's gaze for a split second. He broke it, how could he even have thought that it could have worked between them. He's too old, too poor, too dangerous.
He sighed to himself and walked upstairs to his room , all of a sudden he wasn't in a party mood.
A.N: Ok so that chapter is very cringey , I actually think it might be one of cheesiest chapters on my account , lol XD.
The song is 'War Of Heart' By Ruelle and I really do recommend it it's an amazing song.
Anyway please review and follow and favorite this story and maybe look at some of the other ones I'm currently writing xxx
