I wrote a really long fiction before this but while typing it, I decided to stray to a quick one shot. It's my second written, but my first posted.

Summary: Tonks has a fight with herself after the outburst in the hospital wing. Please R&R! NT/RL

Disclaimer: All these people came from the mind of her royal highness, J.K.R. I am but a humble servant.

She hated him. She hated him with every cell in her body. She loved him.

She was mad at him. She was absolutely fuming.

She was worried about him.

She was worried about his health.

She was worried about his happiness.

She was worried about his self-esteem.

Now, she was sad, thinking of what he had said in the hospital wing...

...too old for you, to poor...too dangerous...

She was mad again.

Too old?

There ages were not vastly different. And even so, she didn't care.

Too Poor?

Her fists clenched with rage and her hair turned bright red unexpectedly with anger. If she didn't care about age, she could barely think about money. It was the farthest from her mind. She was insulted by the thought that money could matter.

Too dangerous?

At this, her spiked red hair shot out of her head and fell down her back like fire, as if she was putting her frustration into her appearance.

Once a month he became a monster if he didn't take his potion. IF! She was an Auror! She handled just a much danger as him and yet he had all the scars!

Tonks had been pacing outside the hospital wing in the corridor. Suddenly she froze and the anger with him was now anger with herself. Lupin was so talented. She could never match him no matter how hard she tried. No one could.

He was so stupid. His ignorance was overwhelming. However, so was his intelligence. She desperately wished he wasn't so stubborn and bullheaded! Why was it so hard for him to except? Why wouldn't he let her be with him? She wanted to hurt him. She didn't want tocause him more pain. She wanted to be with him. She hated both of them. She didn't know who she hated more. Her robes began to catch and disturb dust as her pacing in the corridor sped up. She heard footsteps coming down the hallway and Lupin appeared.

"Tonks," he said attempting to discuss the inevitable.

But it was too late. She had taken off down the hall not wanting to face him.

This was a one-shot, but if people like it I could possibly continue.
