A/N: Hi, lovely reviewers! Hope you are all happy!

Taryn and Gina- Thanks…Tonks is very cool, I agree.

cutie pie pink angel- Here's an update! Thanks a million!

FetishFemale- Yep, Sirius is trying to hook 'em up. Will he succeed? Wait and see…

Mrs.Oblack- Thank you! I have now updated!

Elf771- I'm sure you'll be visiting Harry Potter country one day. You're welcome, I love to write!

Cassie89- Thanks for reviewing!

Blackness Angel- You're Aussie? Hahaha…we kicked your…sorry…I just assumed you were American since most people on here seem to be. Wally is the best thing! Thanks for reviewing again!

The Female Nerd- Updated, especially for you! (And the others, of course) Thanks for the review!

Candy Cane Jones- Yup, Sirius, Tonks and Remus…kind of like Harry, Ron and Hermione gone crazy. And Sirius is a dog…like the pun! Thanks for the review!

Lupinsmoon12391- Yeah…if there was a list of Adorable Fictional Characters, Remus would almost certainly be up there…probably second to Winnie The Pooh. As for Sirius The Matchmaker…you'll have to wait and see if he does a good job. Thank you!

Emmanuelle Lisselle Gray- More for you! Thanks for your comments!

Kerichi- Remus isn't really jealous of the baby…it's just that he's been an only child all his life and he's now being confronted with this huge, sudden change. He can't help feeling a bit bitter. The fact that the baby has a different father doesn't help much, either. And the OK thing… I realised Remus says OK far too much! I really didn't mean to do that! And I don't know who Buddy The Elf is. Still, thank you so much for your helpful reviews!

padfoots-smile- I reviewed your story! And I've done that before…I was laughing so much at a Marauders fic once and my dad thought I'd gone quite mad.

Ash-the-great- Hope your best friend enjoys it! Yes, Remus really is too nice sometimes, bless him. And Sirius…is just awesome. I think we can all agree on that.

And, so, we have a new chapter….a little different to the rest. Enjoy.

Chapter Seven

9: 10 PM (the diary)

"Remus?"

"Yes?"

"It's Tonks, can I come in?"

"Sure, just let me…." I opened the door, just in time to watch Remus wriggle out from under his bed. He had his pyjamas on and I was just able to see some of his back…

I thought Remus would have a nice body. Yes, I confess, I was indeed thinking about his body…about how toned he probably was…but…ew.

First of all I could see his ribs. From the back. And if that wasn't bad enough…scars! All over the place! Scars are sexy, but not in large quantities.

I sat down on his bed, and he plonked next to me. He did look rather snuggly in his pyjamas, which were a sort of patchwork style and were much too big. You could fit two people in there…(Tonks. Stop it. NOW)

ANYWAY, meanwhile…

"I was just looking for my Lunascope." Remus said. "Seems to have disappeared. I swear I took it out of my suitcase, but I suppose I must have left it at home. Either that, or it's permanently lost in the magical vacuum of Portkey travel.

I giggled nervously, and swiftly changed the subject.

(Not the diary, obviously)

"You're a real sweetheart, Remus, do you know that?"

"My mum says that all the time."

"Ooh, a sensitive one are we?"

"I…suppose so. My mum and I…well, we haven't got anyone else. My father…died. It wasn't unexpected, he was ill for a long time."

"That's…really…"

"There's no need to say sorry."

"I…sorry."

Remus laughed. "You just said sorry."

"Oh, right. Sor…I mean, yeah. Do you…want…a hug?"

"Sure." Remus smiled at Tonks, although it wasn't so much a happy smile as a grateful one.

They hugged, but Tonks pulled away rather quickly. Remus gave her a puzzled look.

"I broke your Lunascope. It's in my room." she confessed, then closed her eyes tightly.

The diary

9:30 PM

Remus and I are going to Diagon Alley on Friday! Dad fixed the Lunascope with Reparo, but it needs resetting, and we can't go for ages because we're visiting relatives and I've spent my allowance, so we have to wait. I don't see why Remus is so bothered to get it reset, but if it is from 1712, I guess it's kind of important. We can't

Still…I must feed the poor child. He looks half-starved. Perhaps his mum has scoffed everything in the fridge and he has nothing to eat. Although he seems to eat plenty…

9:31 PM

HEAVENS! What if Remus is bulimic!

9:32 PM

Nah…he can't be. Can he?

9:35 PM

Worry worry fret fret…worry worry fret fret…my Gryffindor Prefect is turning into a skeleton…

9:39 PM

Mum will notice if he's bulimic. Mum knows EVERYTHING. It'll be OK. Diagon Alley will be OK. I will not embarrass myself…Calm down, Tonks, problems always seem worse at night.

9:40 PM

I can hear Sirius laughing to himself. He is such a loser.

On Friday...

Diagon Alley-Tonks' POV

"I can't believe you. Call yourself a chocoholic?" I asked Remus, whilst tucking into a Whipplescrumtious Fudgemallow Delight Sundae (I'm sure they nicked that name from somewhere, but I haven't got a clue where). Remus had a pain chocolat and some coffee…we were at that new café, Fortescue's. It's gorgeous, they're bound to do well.

"Just because I didn't go for that huge chocolate sundae…"

"Stop it. You make me sound like a pig."

"Sorry, but it is pretty big. Especially for someone who's meant to be on a diet." Remus's eyes were twinkling…if he wasn't so beautiful, I probably would have kicked him with the fantastic new boots I'd bought.

"A girl can treat herself once in a while. And you! Why didn't you have an ice cream!"

Remus shrugged, and averted his eyes to the cutlery tray. "I don't know."

I wasn't sure what to say to that, but the atmosphere was wonderful…so I decided to ask Remus a question I had been dying to ask him since he arrived.

"How did you get that?"

"Get what? My eyes? Well, Nymphadora, my mother and father both had eyes, and…well, if you want me to explain in full…"

"No, you plonker, I mean your scar." I picked up my spoon, and used it to touch the scar on his face.

Which was about the worst thing I have ever done in my life.

Remus let out a cry of pain when the spoon touched him, and I scoffed…but only for a second. His skin was turning red, bright red, and them it started to blister.

I realised then that it was burning. Actually burning.

The skin started to crinkle, and although I couldn't see what was underneath as Remus was covering it with his hands, I could see it smoulder. Ouch.

Remus was almost crying now, and occasionally yelling with pain even though he was almost certainly trying hard not to. A few people were staring, and Mrs Fortescue came over, her hands flapping about all over the place.

"Oh, dear Merlin! Oh, you poor thing, don't worry, we'll get you to a hospital…"

"You cry, lad, we won't think you're a baby with a burn like that."

"Bloody hell! What happened there?"

"Mummy, look! Isn't that horrible!"

"What in Merlin's name has that girl done to him?"

That one remark almost made me burst into tears. I don't think I've ever felt so guilty in my life. This was hellish, I've had better nightmares…

"Oh, don't be ridiculous, Florean! It's obviously an allergic reaction!"

An allergic reaction! Something stirred in my mind then, it reminded me of something I'd learnt at school, probably years ago…but I was too horrified to think further about it, as I followed Remus to the Fortescue's kitchen to be Floo'ed to St. Mungo's.
