Disclaimer: I forgot this last chapter. Nothing belongs to me, we all know that. Surprise, surprise, right?

Authors Note: Do you guys like this so far? I just felt like doing a funny little story about my favorite pairing ever, and I just had to include Sirius (who I still very much miss). I'm thinking this will probably be a few chapters. I know they're short but that's just the kind of story this is, nothing real serious. Reviews, criticisms appreciated. Thanks for reading thus far.

The Proposition

"Moony, friend, I have a proposition for you." Sirius began, sitting in front of his friend. Remus looked up from his paper, brows raised.

"A proposition, eh?" Sirius nodded.

"That's right, a proposition." Remus cleared his throat and folded the paper, placing it to the side of him.

"Alright then, let's hear it." Sirius grinned and Remus wondered if he really was going mad.

"I want you to take Tonks to dinner." He said simply, as if this was an everyday conversation they were having. Remus was silent.

"You...what? Why?" Sirius nodded.

"I want you take her to dinner. She's lonely, Moony, and she thinks you would be the perfect person to go have a nice, quiet dinner with." Sirius explained, watching with glee as slight color rose in his friend's cheeks.

"She...wants me, of all people, to take her to dinner? Aren't I a bit...old?" He asked curiously, rubbing his chin. Sirius shook his head.

"Nonsense! Like Dumbledore always says, 'Age is simply a number'!" Sirius grinned like it was Christmas. Remus just stared at him blankly.

"I'm pretty sure Albus Dumbledore has never said that." He commented. Sirius sighed, being to feel frustrated.

"Moony, that's besides the point." Remus chuckled. "This isn't funny, Moony. I'm being serious, okay? She really wants to go to dinner with you, she told me herself."

"She confided in you, even though she knew you would tell me, that she wants to go to dinner with me? Why not Charlie, or Bill, or someone?"

"Dammit Moony! No Charlie, no Bill! YOU! Why are you being so difficult? Don't you dare break her heart, Moony, or I'll kill you, I swear, I'll kill you!" Sirius scowled, though inside he was grinning. He should win awards for his performance.

Remus was frowning. "You really are serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, I'm Sirius!" Sirius said smiling. Remus rolled his eyes.

"Did she tell you a night that was good for her?"

"Yes, Friday at 8 at Carrabbas." Sirius said promptly. Remus massaged his temples.

"Carrabbas? The muggle restaurant in London?" Sirius nodded.

"So is that a yes, Moony, friend?" Remus sighed and sat back in his chair, thinking. Sirius waited patiently. It was taking longer then he thought it would.

"If she really wants to go, then yes, of course I'll join her." Sirius grinned and pumped his fist in the air, letting out a whoop of joy. Remus smiled weakly at him before picking up his paper and going back to reading.

"You won't regret it Moony. I mean, she's Tonks, she's an amazing girl. You'll have a great time. Now, I have to go..." He paused, searching for an excuse. "...I have to go clean my sock drawer." He gave the confused Remus a grin and walked out, pleased with himself. He wondered whether it would be just as easy to convince Tonks. He nodded to himself, knowing it would be, and added a little bounce to his step.

Remus watched him go and wondered what he had gotten himself into. Something just didn't fit, and as he went back to reading, an uneasy feeling settled into his stomach.
