Chapter Two-

Think it over

Sorry about some errors in the last chapter. All sentences in italics are being thought to themselves by the characters! Oh and I forgot to put that chapter one is a spoiler for the 6th book and that Sirius is alive in this story!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, J.K Rowling does.

Pairing: R. Lupin and N. Tonks

­­­­­­­­­­­­­----------------------------

Grimmauld Place 12

(BANG!) was the loud sound heard by the way Tonks closed the door followed by loud hurrying footsteps to another loud bang by a bedroom door. Having a bad feeling about this Mrs. Weasley went up to the room Tonks was staying in for the week.

"Tonks…?" knocked Mrs. Weasley.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" cried Tonks.

"Dear Tonks, come on…let's talk about whatever is upsetting you..." said Mrs. Weasley trying to sound assuring. Please don't let it be about Remus, please…

"Well the l-last time I-I t-tried that, t-this is w-where it got m-m-m-me!' sniffed Tonks.

"Come now, tell me what happened," asked Mrs. Weasley now having a major feeling it was about him.

"Well… (now calming herself down) I don't know…the feelings just got all built up inside of me that I just exploded and told him everything! I'm so stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" cried out Tonks.

"Dear, it mustn't have been that bad…what did he say?"

"That's just it! He didn't reply at first but then he said that he didn't feel the same towards me and started rambling about how he was poor, dangerous and old. Like shit, I don't care about any of those things. Sure he was dangerous- but that's a risk I'm willing to take! Poor? I don't care! We'll find a way to get money besides every problem is an opportunity in disguise! Old? Love is never too old!" cried out Tonks now getting up and walking over to the window.

"Dear, dear… (now walking over to Tonks and putting a comforting hand on her shoulder) He's just worried you know…I mean did you tell him any of this?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"No…I just sort of blew up in his face and ran away until I reached this place," said Tonks now recalling the last moments when she was with Lupin. Damn, I should have told him all that…then maybe he would've understood everything, all the feelings I had for him---

"Tonks? (waving a hand in her face)"

"W-what? Oh sorry about that," said Tonks breaking away from her thoughts.

"Well, I'll let you off to bed now, feel better we'll talk more tomorrow," said Mrs. Weasley now departing from the room.

"Hey!"

"Yes?"

"Thanks…" said Tonks with a little smile.

"No problem, I'll always be here if you need me" said Mrs. Weasley comfortingly and closed the door.

Sighing, Tonks led herself to the empty bed. Why do you have to be so difficult? Can't you see I'm willing to love you? Gosh men are soo oblivious at times! Or maybe it's just me…maybe I should just forget you, forget what I had for you, or at least just ignore you. Tears now began to form on her face, thinking to herself, it won't be easy, and it will be hell. Feeling too tired to think of it more she fell asleep.

(Door Creaking open) Lupin walked into the house feeling like he shouldn't have been there in the first place. Damn, I have no where else to stay but here…

"Penny for your thoughts Lupin?" asked Sirius walking out from a room with what seemed a beer bottle in his hand.

"Why are you still awake?" asked Lupin.

"And might I ask you the same question?" retorted Sirius. Damn so I guess he's not drunk after all thought Lupin.

"Ha…I've just been out, taking a walk and thinking over some things…" replied Lupin to Sirius' question.

"I'm just not tired… so walking out and thinking can explain the sad look on your face?" said Sirius.

"Stop it with the questions, and I'm not sad! If you will, I shall be going to my room now…" said Lupin starting to walk up the stairs.

"And passing by her bedroom would make things better would it?" said Sirius giving Lupin a direct look then walking away.

Damn, so now I guess everybody must know what had happened earlier. Could things get even worse now? Lupin thought to himself then walked to his bedroom passing the room Tonks was sleeping in. If only you knew...your safety is all that matters to me. Please don't let those feelings of yours get to me…thought Lupin before proceeding to his room.

Morning came and the sun rose up. Stupid sun…you're the cause of all this! Thought Tonks even though she knew it was ridiculous to think it was merely the sun's fault that all these bad things were happening to her.

"Morning—oh, I'll be leaving now." Said Tonks quickly before rushing out of the kitchen and past the front door after she noticed that Lupin was there sitting at the kitchen table.

Sighing, things would get worse and more awkward in this house to Lupin.

"You've got to open your heart dear…don't let something that good get away…think about it," said Mrs. Weasley serving him bacon and eggs for breakfast.

"Thank you…I don't know what your talking about…Let something that good get away? What do you mean by that? It's not like she loves me! N-no it's not like that. Think about it? What else is there to think about? I've said it once and I'll say it again, I don't feel the same towards her and I can't force myself to! Would everyone just please stop playing this game!" said Lupin finishing the rest of his breakfast before leaving.

Sighing, Mrs. Weasley knew this wasn't going to be easy. They we're both being so stubborn. But then again nobody said learning to love someone was going to be easy.

Well that's it for chapter two… Read and review please!
