Chapter Thirteen. Be Mine(Oh Valentine)

The last month or so had been the best in Tonks whole life. The morning after the party, she had woken up in Remus arms, in his bed, and the first thing she had thought - and allowed herself to think – had been 'he is so adorable when he's asleep'. She had never been into those cheesy things like perfect foot-popping kisses, or secret meetings in the dark, but somehow he woke the romantic side of her. She was surprised over how he was reacting to her. He called her beautiful all the time, but he didn't act like the other guys she had been with. He was gentle and sweet, unless she asked for something else. With other words, he treated her right. Maybe it was because he was more mature than the guys from her year. Or maybe he just knew that she wasn't one to treat wrong.

Tonks had chosen to tell Natalia about it, and sooner Maribel found out too. She wasn't really evil anymore, she sat at their table at meals, and slowly started to break her usual bad habits. Natalia and Tonks learned that she was a very sympatric person. You could count on her if you needed help or advise, and if you needed a shoulder to cry on.

Tonks was currently talking with Percy about a book he had read, but something didn't really seem right about it. Percy faked a smile at her and continued his talking without breaking the stream of words that fell out of his mouth. "… they have such an amazing connection, and the author really get all of the plot right as it should be and…"

"Percy!" Tonks yelled and stared at the boy in front of her. He stopped talking at looked down. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's just… I'm just…" he stuttered out and looked down on the Hogwarts crest on his bag.

"It's what? You do know that you can tell me everything right?" Tonks said, and looked at Percy with slightly nervous eyes. She hoped it was something easy, and not something like he was afraid to come out to his parents, if it was, then she wasn't sure what to say.

"I think I'm in love with Oliver." Tonks looked at Percy with wide eyes, and then leant over to hug him. She was happy for him. Percy sighed. "But what if he doesn't like me?"

"Why shouldn't he like you? You were like impossible to get on your own at the party. He was always by your side, and you were holding hands." Tonks said and pulled away. She looked Percy in the eyes, and he nodded. "Now I think you should go over and talk to him. He's starring at you."

Percy looked in the direction of Wood, and just caught him staring at him. Tonks smiled at Percy, and pushed him a bit. He looked at her and stood up, and walked over to him, and sat down. Tonks giggled as she walked over to Harry and Ron, who was sitting with Ron's rat Scabbers. Tonks opinion on it was that it was disgusting. "Hey you two! Any news on your broo Harry?"

Harry had gotten a Prestissimo from an anonymous guy for Christmas. Tonks had made fun of it, and said that it could be from Santa Claus, which made even McGonagall smile a bit. But because if security, they had to make sure that the broomstick was save, before Harry could use it.

Harry shook his head and took Scabbers up in his lap. Tonks started to feel a burning pain on her neck. She looked down, but couldn't find the source. She quickly rose from her seat and looked at the boys. "Excuse me, I have to go…"

She walked out of the portrait hole, and walked straight to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She didn't want to get interrupted while finding the reason for her pain. It didn't cool down a bit, and with she stopped, she was still hot on her neck. She reached down into her shirt, and found the amulet. The Danger part of it was bright red, and really hot. There had been something dangerous in the common room, and Tonks didn't know what it could have been. She pulled the necklace off and rinsed it under some water. It got cold immediately, and she took it on again.

Tonks sat down on the floor, and sighed. There was something weird going on. Just a couple of days ago, every single student was asked to sleep in the Great Hall, to keep them save. Tonks didn't know what actually happened. She was sure that it had something to do with Sirius Black, because Ron had told a ghost story that definitely wasn't all true.

She leaned her head back against the wall, and closed her eyes. It was the day before Valentine's Day, and she had plans with Remus, even though neither of them really cared about the day. She was tired; they had spent all day long after school, practicing Quidditch, and they had a match against Slytherin the day after Valentine's. It was good, that it was on a weekend.

She stood up from the floor and looked at herself in the mirror. She had to get back to the dorms. It was quite late, and she couldn't risk to get caught by a teacher. She sighed, and walked out of the door. She sneaked back to The Fat Lady, and got inside. She saw a glimpse of Something blonde, and black, and looked to the side, where Natalia was making out with Mike Brown.

"For Merlin's sake, get a room!" Tonks shouted, but she didn't get an answer from any of them. She walked into the common room, where she immediately saw Percy and Wood holding hands by the fireplace. They looked like they were in a deep conversation. Tonks rubbed her eyes and walked up in her dorm. She took off her clothes and made herself ready for bed, and then fell asleep at the moment her head touched the pillow.

She woke by someone poking her shoulder and turned around to look at the person. Natalia of course. The blonde was smiling her hugest smile, and she just looked overall happy.

"Happy Valentine's Day! I've made plans with Mike, so I won't have time to spend it with you… But I guess you have plans, with Mr. Romance?" Mr. Romance was Natalia's nickname for Remus. She knew she couldn't talk about him, so he just went under that name. Tonks didn't like it, but Natalia thought it was funny. Tonks stared at the clock. Nine. There was some time till she should meet up with Remus, so she decided to do some homework. She had some Hebology that she really needed to do.

A few hour later, she had to get ready to be with Remus, so she turned her hair into a scarlet red color, and made her eyes green. She made her face more like her normal heart-shaped face, and removed some freckles from the day before. She was good to go. She made her way to Remus office and knocked, and walked in two seconds later. He was reading an old looking book.

"Hi!" she said and closed the door behind her. She walked over to him, and he closed the book while she walked. She leant down and placed a gentle kiss on his lips, and he immediately responded by pulling her closer to him. She sat down on his lap, and brushed her fingers through his hair.

They pulled away from the kiss when they needed to breathe. He smiled at her. "Hey."

They spent all afternoon talking about a lot of stuff, and when it turned night, she ended out falling asleep on his chest. They slept, and he had his arms around her all night.

When she woke up, she saw that he was sitting in his chair and reading the same book again. He looked at her as she sat up from his bed. "You're awake? Good we need to talk."

These words made a little piece of her heart break off. He sounded like he was going to break up with her or something. She looked at him with emotionless eyes. "What about?"

"I've been thinking… We can't be together. This thing we have is dangerous."

Tonks finally realized what the other girls had talked about, when they said that they had heartache. She closed her eyes, and when she looked at him again, it was with a cold glance. "Dangerous because you could lose your job, or because of something else?"

Remus looked down at the floor. Tonks got mad, and she could feel how the tears nearly reached her eyes. "You know what? Never mind. I get it. You don't wanna be with me, but why are you then such a prick and keep leading me on? You don't have to answer. Bye professor Lupin."

With those words, and tear filled eyes, Tonks left Remus in his office, with wide eyes, a sad look on his face, and feeling like a horrible person, because he knew he broke her heart.

Hope you liked it. The last part was kinda lousy, but it was really only the break-up I wanted to focus on. I know that it's pretty soon they break up, but I have some things that need to happen while they aren't together, and after they have been.
