Not my characters. All characters and personalties of the characters are that of J.K Rowlings. I am not making any money or anything from these stories, I am just creating them for my own fun.

Set a bit before the 5th book. Tonks' and Lupin's first meetings and then it continues there. Most of it is what happens between the two whilst everything id going on (whilst Harry and his friends are at Hogwarts), the stuff we miss out on.

Chapter1. Meetings.

"BLOODY CHILD OF A MUGGLE LOVER! IDIOTIC SHAPE-SHIFTING FREAK! DON'T YOU DARE STE-"

"I do hope that will shut the old bag up! God, she can be so annoying!" I looked up to see who was addressing me. It was a man. He was tall with brown hair and caring, kind but painful eyes. He held a hand out to me and I accepted it. Suddenly remembering what I had done, I blushed furiously.

"I am Remus Lupin. You're new to the Order?" The kind man named Remus asked.

"Yes. I'm Tonks. I'm terribly sorry. I can be awfully clumsy sometimes. I honestly don't know how I became an auror…Err, sorry. I blab on a lot."

Remus smiled gently at me. "After spending half of my life with Sirius Black, I think I can handle a talker." He said, giving me a wink. I smiled at him. Oh how I missed Sirius. Unbeknown to most, Sirius is my cousin. He is my mother Andromeda's favourite cousin. She would be glad to know I am with him.

"By the way Tonks, do you have a surname, or must I wait to find that out?" Lupin asked curiously.

"Well, my mother gave me a name that would probably even be a curse in God's own ears. My surname is Tonks. Full name is Nymphadora Tonks. See, terrible isn't it?" I replied.

"I think it's a rather pretty name," I shuddered in disgust. "but how about Dora for short?"

"Yeah. That's not too bad I guess." I politely replied.

"Is that my wittle Nymphadora?" I scowled as my cousin spoke down to me, and used my dreaded first name.

"No, actually, it isn't your 'wittle' Nymphadora! It's Tonks!" I replied coolly.

"Whatever. Hi!" Sirius ran over and greeted his little cousin with a big hug and a great sloppy kiss. She hugged him back and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's been too long Tonks. Just way too long. You know, I've missed you and Andromeda so much! I miss my family. All except lovely Narcissa, Bella and my dear old mother. Oh that evil hag of a women! Her voice is like a banshee!" Sirius stated, going completely off topic with the banshee.

There was a bang as the door opened. A tall, slightly chubby woman with red hair poked her head out the door.

"Everything alright?" She asked.

"Oh. Yes. Everything is fine. My darling little cousin here has joined the order. Cous, this is Molly Weasley." Sirius informed her.

"Tonks? Nymphadora Tonks? I haven't seen you for so long! You were in the same year as Charlie? Oh! He'll be so happy to see you again! And Bill! I'm sure the others will love you too! Oh! And I see that you have changed your hair colour! Again! What was it last time I saw you? I think it was red and yellow for the winning of the House Cup!" Molly said as she ran over to greet her old friend.

"Yes! It was red and yellow! How could I forget that? Others? What do you mean by others?" I asked.

"Molly has 4 other children. There are the twins-Fred and George, then there is Ron and Ginny. I'm pretty sure you'll get along well with Ginny, as she is the only other female around your age here until Hermione and Harry arrive. And the twins, well, they gave us Marauders a run for our money." Remus informed me.

"Wow! That's a lot of kids. Harry and Hermione?" I asked curiously.

"Friends of Ron. Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, dear." Molly said as she bustled back into the kitchen.

"HARRY POTTER! Awesome!" I said as I picked up my trunks.

"Here. Let me help you." Remus picked up one of my trunks and dragged it along to what he said would be my room. The room was fairly large and had a nice double bed. It had a chair, a shelf (presumably for books and other knick-knacks), a dressing table with a mirror, a wardrobe and a set of drawers. It was just across the hall from the bathroom. Perfect.

"My room is just to your right if you need anything Miss. Tonks." Remus said.

"You can just call me Tonks. Or Dora if you want." I offered.

"Thank you Dora. I'm just wondering, what did Mrs. Black mean by 'shape-shifting freak'?" He asked.

"Oh. Well, I suppose it would be far more interesting to show you."

With that, I scrunched up my face and let my body do the trick. Within seconds, my hair was long and silver, my eyes were a bright purple and my nails had gone the same purple.

"A metamorphmagus. Wow! I never thought I would have the pleasure in meeting one myself." Remus replied rather amused.

I found myself blushing again, so I muttered something about unpacking and gently pushed Remus out of my room. He told me he'd be back to get me for dinner and I smiled, showing my appreciation.

As I unpacked, I thought of how lovely Remus Lupin was. He was rather handsome too. Those gorgeous amber eyes, and his height was quite attractive. His hair looked the sort to run fingers through whilst making love and not to mention. His hands and feet were rather big. You know what they say about that!

Chapter2. The rest of the Order

Not wanting to be late for breakfast, I ran down the stairs. In doing so, I tripped and fell straight into the arms of none other than Remus Lupin. He is so strong! I could so imagine his arms wrapped around me. Those hands caressing my body. His lips kissing me all-

"Are you ok Dora?" Remus interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah. I'm ok thanks. Sorry bout that. Told you I can be clumsy." I sheepishly replied.
