Just incase you all forgot I'm going to start this one off with a little recap:

Remus grinned and pecked her on the lips, "will you be my girlfriend?"

Tonks eyes grew wide. He couldn't have possibly just asked that, could he? She reached a hand down to the side of her thigh and pinched herself quite hard. she gasped. She had been expecting the pain from the pinch, along with suddenly finding herself in her bed. She didn't gasp form that, no, more from the shock of finding herself still sitting on the couch staring into Remus' now concerned eyes.

He looked down at her hands and took both of hers in his, "What are you doing?" He felt a twinge of fear that he might reject him. He hadn't really counted on her saying no, let alone hurt herself.

"Trying to wake up." She replied simply.

"Trying to wake up?" He asked, his anxioty building up inside him.

She nodded, "Uh-huh."

"You are awake." He told her.

"Am I?" She questioned. "'Cause real Remus seemed to think it was a bad idea to do anything with me." She was nodding her head and he could swear he heard her murmer what sounded oddly like 'prat' under her breath.

"Tonks, I am real and you are awake." He patiently told her again, with a slight smile. He had a feeling what was going on inside her head now.

"Oh really? See I don't think you are. I think you're evil dream Remus and your only showing me what I can't have. And that's mean, that's really mean, 'cause if your a dream then your inside my head and you know what I want, and now your playing that against me. You're not dream Remus... You're nightmare Remus."

Remus chuckled. Her insane ramblings never ceased to amaze him. "Your not sleeping Tonks. And I am real Remus, although it is flattering to know you dream about me."

"You can't be real Remus." She was shaking her head.

"I am." He argued.

"You're not."

"I am."

"Then what exactly made you change your mind about us? Huh, 'Remus'?" She put air quotes with her fingers around his name to emphisise er point.

He chuckled again, "James and Sirius mostly I suppose, Peter wasn't actually that much help, though I suspect its because he wants you for himself."

Tonks eyed him suspiciously, "If your real Remus then what's you middle name?" She asked him. A second later she rolled her eyes, "That's not going to work, if you are inside my head then you already know the answer to that." She furrowed her brow, "Prove I'm awake."

"How am I supposed to go about doing that?" He asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I dunno. Pinch me."

"I believe you've already tried that." He pointed out.

"So, I was expecting then. Do it unexpectedly."

"I'm not going to pinch you."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't believe that's the way to win a girl over."

She considered this for a few moments. "Your not dream Remus."

"I'm aware of that," he said. "How'd you figure it out?" He asked curiously.

"Dream Remus always gives up way too easily." She then promptly blushed at the realisation that Remus now knew about his counterpart who resided in her unconsious mind.

"Well, I unlike him am quite persistant. So, I believe there is still a question that needs answering." He prompted.

Tonks smiled uncontrollably, and nodded, "Yeah, I'll be your girlfriend. As if you even had to ask!"

Remus grinned from ear to ear and kissed her. A long and deeply satisfying kiss that would have undoubtedly gone on longer if it wasn't for the loud cheer from behind them. They broke off and looked back to see the remaining marauders and Charlie Weasley comming towards them.

"Smile!" Charlie shouted and produced a camera from behind his back, clicking the little button on top and producing that unmistakable flash of a moment preserved in time without even giving them time to react. "Aww Tonks, I'm so happy you've found a boyfriend who isn't a git."

"Cheers Charlie." She replied sarcastically.

"Don't mention it mate!" He winked.

"I'm assuming we don't have to have the talk Remu?" asked Sirius.

"I'm sure he knows all about the birds and the bees Sirius," James said.

"Yeah, and he can't wait to put them into action with Tonks." Peter added. Everyone looked at him. He was staring at Tonks. She shifted uncomfortably. Remus noticed.

"I can assure you my intentions are strictly honorable." He informed them all.

Sirius cast him an appreciative glance. "Let's go back upstairs, give these two some time alone." He nudged Peter out of his trance and walked off to the stairs with the rest following in his wake.

"He is so creepy." Tonks said as soon as they had left.

"Peter?"

"Yeah, he always seems to be staring at me. Its like every time I look at him he turns his head away." She she shivered a bit.

"Forget about Peter." He put an arm around her shoulder. "He fancies you, that's why he's always looking at you." He told her with a slight chuckle.

Tonks smiled at him and once again moved in too brush her lips against his softly, enjoying the feel of another set of lips against her own. She grasped is bottom lip between both of her and gently sucked on it, then moved to is top lip and did the same. Remus could feel the softness of her succulent lips against his own and it was only a matter of time before he responded by jutting his tongue out slightly to try and taste her. She took the hint and deepend the kiss. She pushed him down on his back on the couch, the couch which now held one more fond memory for her, so she could get better leverage. Remus did not object to this he settled his hands on Tonks' hips, once she had gotten comfortable with her hands resting on either side of his head. Their kiss was still slow and exploratory, and soon Tonks broke it to catch her breath. She moved her mouth down to his ear and breathing still slightly ragged, licked the shell of it. She heard Remus gasp into her own ear and smiled at her lucky find. She moved her mouth down even further and captured his lobe lightly between her teeth, replacing them with her lips shortly after. She gave his lobe the same treatment she had given his lips earlier and delighted in the gasps she could draw from him.

"Oh Merlin! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, I left my camera and came back down to get it and whoa!" Charlie tried to explain quite unnecessarily. He could have come and gone and neither of them would have even noticed him. But no, he had to get in the way.

Tonks scrambled up of the couch and stood. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, so she just closed it and looked at Charlie and bit her lip innocently.

Charlie reached a hand to the back of his neck and blushed, "Sorry 'bout-"

"Don't worry about it." Tonks said quickly.

"I'm gona go back upstairs to bed." He said slowly.

She nodded.

He left.

Tonks sighed and flopped down on the couch next to Remus.

"I think I might head up to bed too." Remus said getting to his feet.

Tonks shot him a quizzical look.

"I meant what I said about my intentions being perfectly honourable."

"Okay, but that doesn't mean my intentions are perfectly honourable." She said with a slight smirk.

"Your not making things easy for me." He pointed out.

She shrugged, "No point in lying about it, that won't get us anywhere."

"Right, so like I said, I'm going to bed."

"Why?" She asked.

"Because its rather difficult to be a gentleman when your tongue is in my ear."

"Don't pretend you didn't like it." She was smirking again.

"Oh I did. Very much so. That's why I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

"Night."

He smiled at her and retreated upstairs.

She soon followed his example and turned in herself.
