Disclaimer: Yeah.

This chapter was fun to write, Tonks is great. :)

I made up a bunch of random topics as we walked to the boy's dormitory. "Wow, Flitwick never usually puts this much work on his students," Remus commented as he laid back against his headboard. "I know, but he did this time," I said tossing him a book.

After about 20 minutes of reading silently Remus said he found something that would help me. I scooted up next to him and rested my chin on his shoulder as he read. "Hmm, think it'll help me?," I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Yes I do." I nuzzled his neck, "You're so smart."

"Thank you." Exactly, he's smart; so he's knows what I'm doing.

"How'd you get to be so smart?," I asked before I took his earlobe between my teeth.

"Dora!"

"What?" Mock innocence.

"Your essay," He pointed to the parchment.

"It'll still be there later," I said as I shifted into his lap. He cocked an eyebrow at me, and didn't look amused.

"Do you really have a murder of an essay for Charms, Dora?"

"Of course I do," I glanced at him as I worked to undo his tie.

"Really? Because you're a terrible liar," He stilled my hands that were pulling up his jumper.

"I..uh..well. Damn it, Remus! What's your problem?" He leaned away from me slightly.

"What's my problem? What's your problem?"

"Why won't you shag me?!" Screw subtlety.

His eyes got wider. "So that's why you schemed up this elaborate essay."

"Of course it's why. I knew we'd have the dormitory to ourselves because practice was going on, and I knew you'd help me with my essay if I asked so I made a plan."

"Dora, I don't know why you're so hell-bent on this."

"Why wouldn't I be? What, are you not attracted to me in that way?"

"Will you stop acting dim, of course I am."

"Then what's the problem?" I was sick of being confused.

"It's just that I don't-."

"Remus! Do you not listen to me when I talk? I told you the 'painful, awkward, anti-climatic incident' has passed."

He shook his head as if I didn't understand what he was getting at.

"You won't hurt me, because some prat already took care of that." How many different ways could I put this?

"Dora…" Would he just spit out what he wants to say already?

"Look, I know that sex in meant to be enjoyed. Is it so wrong that I want to experience the way it's supposed to be with you?" Yeah that was a bit cheesy but oh well.

Again he didn't say anything; he just stared at the floor. I couldn't tell if I was more angry that he wouldn't talk to me or more upset that he didn't want this too. My head was spinning and not in a good way.

I shook his shoulder, "Hey, what's going on with you?"

"I don't know how…I'll react," He didn't look up.

Now I was utterly confused. "What are you on about?"

"I don't know how the…. other side of me will react." Oh, that's what he meant.

"But you've done it before," My voice was lower.

"Yes, but I'm quite sure Sirius spiked my drink so I don't fully recall everything." I held back the smile that threatened to crawl across my face.

"You won't hurt me, I know you won't."

"You don't know that," His tone was harsh.

"I know you can control it if it becomes an issue. I trust you, Remus; I love you."

He finally looked up at me. "Do you promise to stop me if…" He trailed off.

"I'll hex you into oblivion if need be," I said, threading my fingers in his hair.

He chuckled, "I love you, Dora."

"I know, sweetheart," I said, grinning as I took out my wand and set it on his nightstand.

My hands returned to the hem of his jumper, and this time he didn't stop me from taking it off. Why did our uniforms need to consist of so many pieces? I nearly choked myself while trying to remove my tie. I moved to straddle his lap but lost my balance, and nearly fell off the bed. "This can't happen if I have to take you to the hospital wing," he said as he pulled me back up. He placed his hands on my hips to still my erratic movements, and tilted my chin so he could kiss me. His fingers nimbly undid the buttons on my shirt and pushed it off my shoulders. I returned the favor but I wasn't so nimble of course.

I felt his tongue slide along my bottom lip; asking for entrance, which I gladly gave to him. I wasn't done with my mishaps, because as I went to undo his belt I stabbed myself with it. I was lucky there wasn't blood. Then I actually fell on him when I stood up to slide my skirt off. He simply smiled and set me right again; Merlin, I love him.

The remaining clothing was discarded without any more mishaps. I stared up at him as he hovered above me, but he was staring at my wand. "I told you, Remus. I will hex you if I have to," I said stroking his cheek. "I don't doubt that you will, love."

Not another word was said.

A/N: Yay. Tonks is so persistent. :) Much love to all.
