After another long meeting Tonks went to dinner with Kingsley and a couple of other Aurors. She was supposed to start the work load but she would do that later. The Aurors ate lunch at a regular pub a few streets down from the office, a dingy place that most wizards avoided because so many Aurors at one place usually meant a tussle would break, especially if Mad-Eye passed by to visit some of his old friends and they drank a bit too much.

Tonks was spacing out during dinner, there was an argument going on, but Tonks barely heard any of it. Harold, a new Auror was arguing about defense tactics with Mad-Eye. Mad-eye apparently had the shot first talk later idea while the newbie was taking the other side. She excused herself and quickly exited the pub. The last she heard was Mad-Eye standing up challenging the young Auror to test this theory.

As she went outside she spotted Remus walking down the street with a woman. Tonks felt like something was stuck in her throat. She quickly hid herself, just incase he caught sight of her, not bothering changing her appearance because she knew it wouldn't work.

Remus was laughing along with the woman, who Tonks couldn't recognize, and they entered a book store together. Tonks was fighting on whether to go in or stay outside when she felt a presence near her. She turned around quickly, drawing her wand out but it turned out to be one of her friends Edythe.

" Wow there," She put up her hands in the air. " I was just passing by to see who you were spying on."

Tonks pulled Edythe behind a building, and simply told her, " What if it's Auror business?"

Edythe dismissed it with a scoff. " You didn't change your appearance and plus you had a look of complete envy on you just now, mate."

It was true, for a moment Tonks wished she was able to go back to the time in which Remus and she were able to laugh freely with out the awkwardness around them.

" Okay, fine this is what's going on," Tonks processed on telling Edythe that she was keeping in eye on Remus and the woman to figure out a piece of information out.

" Alright then lets go," Edythe head to the bookstore but Tonks stopped her.

" What if he sees me?! He'll know I'm spying on him," Tonks wished her powers weren't acting up or she would this alone.

" He doesn't know me and the shelves are really tall so he won't notice you if you tried to change your appearance." Edythe shrugged.

" I'll meet you inside," Tonks told her and Edythe entered the store. Tonks than used all her strength and concentration to transform into anything anyone. When she opened her eyes she had longer straight hair but her color had changed to a deep chestnut brown. She was glad that she had worn plain clothing today, she wore a hoodie from a concert and plain jeans. She walked into the book store which only had four people inside, Remus, the mystery woman, Edythe and an elderly woman who sat next to the store clerk talking about a book.

Tonks walked causally past Edythe and went to stand two rows down from were Remus was with the mystery woman. She grabbed a random book and hid her face pretending it was the most fascinating thing in the world but all her attention on the conversation.

" I'm so glad you offered to come," Remus told the woman. " I have to admit I thought you would say no."

The mystery woman giggled and Tonks wished she could hex her. Tonks flipped a page and leaned closer. She missed what the woman had said but Remus was smiling.

"I'm glad about that," He was saying. Blast it, she needed to get closer. Tonks with the book still hiding her face, walked to the corner of the row in which Remus was in. They were in the opposite ends but she could hear more of the conversation. Tonks happened to glance in Edythe direction and noticed her friend making weird faces at her. Confused on why she was making those faces Tonks turned her attention back to the conversation.

" It's hard to believe that you don't have someone," The woman asked Remus.

" What do you mean?" He asked.

" I mean you're a fine catch. You're sweet and gentle and kind. Are you sure there isn't anyone out there that you fancy?"

Tonks held her breath, this was it. If he admitted that he did than Tonks had a chance, if he said no than he must like this mystery woman. But before she could hear what his response was, the clerks voice asked.

"Miss would you like to purchase this book?"

" Huh? Sure what ever." Tonks muttered.

" Well that's our last copy of Various Magical Sexual positions for the Young Soul at Heart," The man replied in a deep loud voice.

Tonks glanced down horrified. The book she was held had a very exotic picture on the cover. Tonks dropped the book as if was on fire, and it hit the floor with a loud lump. But what made her blush red was that everyone in the store had heard the clerks comment on the book, including Remus and the woman who were looking at her.

"Wrong book, sorry about that mate," Tonks replied and hurried out but her damn shoes caught on a corner and she accidentally knocked over a display. If possible she turned a deeper shade of red and as she bend to pick it up she knocked a pile of books. She gave up and made her exit.

Tonks arrived at her flat and collapsed on her bed. She felt like such a fool. Remus probably hadn't known it was her but still. She punched her pillow a couple of times, it made her feel it a bit better. Who was that woman, Tonks wondered. She had never seen her before and Tonks hadn't caught a name. She also hadn't caught what had been Remus response had been.

Then Tonks heard the door ring and got up and went to open it. Edythe stood there angry.

" Why did you leave me behind?" She walked in angrily stomping the floor.

" I don't know if you saw it but I made a fool of myself in there," Tonks replied. Edythe noticed how upset Tonks was and let it go. " Well why don't we take this jealously and use it for something?"

" Jealously?" Tonks repeated. But she was, she couldn't deny it. Remus kept saying that he didn't want to hurt her and then here he was with another woman, even after what had happened between them.

" Alright, what do you purpose," Tonks asked, she needed to get out of this shitty mood.

" Girls night out, in a muggle bar," Edythe said excitedly.

" Why muggle?" Tonks asked.

" Well the clubbing scene is a bit a dead in the wizarding world, with all that's going on," Edythe told her. " But the muggle world is still unaware and plus there will be tons of people you don't know."

" Alright," Tonks answered. She needed to take her mind off of Remus.
