Pairing: R. Lupin and N. Tonks

………….

It was a bright sunny day; Tonks could no longer hold herself hostage inside her house. She decided to take a walk and explore the place. As she walked around she noticed the place wasn't that bad after all. The wizards and witches around her seemed to be nice and even greeted her. One young wizard, say the same age as Tonks, had approached her and asked her name.

"Hello, I'm Ivan Delacoure (stretching out hand for handshake)" the man said.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Nymphadora Tonks, call me Tonks if you will," she replied. 'Hmm…he looks alright…Handsome, yes, polite, yes and willing to love me? we'll just find out! Although Tonks knew she was jumping to conclusions too fast I mean she just met the guy!

"So do you live around here?" asked Ivan.

"Yes, actually down that street, last house to your right…" she said pointing her hand down the street.

"Wow, why would a beautiful witch like you be living here for?" asked Ivan. Flattery will do just the work!

"For reasons you wouldn't want to know," said Tonks giving him a stern look. 'Yeah a guy I like doesn't like me back and is driving me crazy! But now that you're here maybe I am here for a purpose—no Tonks stop that! You just met the man give it some time! But then again if this guy can take her mind of Remus then fine!' she thought.

"Oh I'm sorry if I was being a little nosy, I mean you're beautiful after all, any wizard would ask you that, would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" answered Ivan.

"I would gladly like that! Being stuck in a house isn't much fun anyways…" said Tonks.

"Okay so I'll be at your house at 7:00 pm, and I won't be late!" said Ivan before leaving.

Wow, in just a span of 30 minutes she already got a date. Maybe getting over Remus would be easy after all. She was already getting infatuated by Ivan. Who knows maybe it will turn into love after all! 'Finally, this is getting to be easier now…just a little easier.'

Meanwhile Lupin had just arrived in Hazardous Grove. 'Okay I'm here…now what?' the place was so huge that he didn't know where to start. Residential area or industrial area? Knowing Tonks, she should be around the industrial area with the parks, stores, restaurants and whatnot. So off he went looking around.

(Knock, Knock) was the sound heard by Ivan knocking on the door (obviously). "Coming!" shout Tonks making her way to the door. "H-Hi!"

"Wow looking prettier than last time! Shall we? " said Ivan while extending his arm out to Tonks.

In just a few minutes (they apparated) they appeared in front of a beautiful restaurant. 'Wow…this is amazing!' Tonks thought.

"This is my favourite restaurant and since you're so beautiful I ought to think I should take you to it!" said Ivan flashing one of his cute smiles.

"It's so wonderful to be here!" said Tonks excitedly. "Good, shall we order now? (taking a seat at a table right beside a window)" asked Ivan. "Yes that would be good." answered Tonks.

"So tell me more about yourself..." asked Tonks while taking a bite out of her delicious dinner.

"Well I'm 26 years old, lonely, and in need of a woman," he answered with a smile on his face.

"haha really now and is that why you picked me out of all the other witches out there?" she asked.

"Of course, your beautiful and you seem intelligent and you seem you're in need of someone as well" he answered still keeping that grin on.

'yeah I do need a man, I'm just not sure if it's you—wait what are you talking about? Of course this guy is perfect! It's time you got over that other stupid wizard!' she thought. "Yeah I do."

"Let me make that loneliness go away…" he whispered and leaned in to kiss her.

Meanwhile…'Where could have this woman gone off to?' Lupin thought. He started to walk past a restaurant that Tonks and Ivan were at, and at that exact moment he looked through the window to see a man kissing a girl…putting a hand over his face, he saw who the girl was… 'Tonks…'
