Chapter 2-Tonks and Remus

Tonks rushed about her office in the Auror's Department shuffling papers from one spot to another, making a complete mess. Finally after having knocked her inbox over for the fifteenth time she flumped down into her chair and sighed.

She stuck out her tongue at all the work in front of her just as a brown barn owl flew in through the window above her office door. It dropped down on her desk and left a letter in front of her then took off in the direction is had come.

"Oh great. Another piece of work." Tonks griped as she sat forward to look at the piece of mail. On the front of the folded piece of parchment read "Nymphadora" in green ink. She flipped it over and looked at the seal, trying to discern who it was from.

Finally, after a minutes thought, her curiosity got the better of her and she broke the green wax seal and opened the letter.

Dear Nymphadora,

I was thinking of you just now. Of course one would ask when I'm not thinking of you. But I was and I was remembering the way you cared for me after my encounter with Greybeck. I know I have thanked you many times but it never seems to be enough for me. We both know that if you had not cared for me, I would not be here today. And so I feel I must thank you again. I want to do something special for you this evening. I have acquired reservations at Madam Georgini's for this evening for dinner and dancing. You will be receiving an owl shortly with a package. I would be very pleased if you were to wear the contents tonight. So until 7, Nymphadora, my heart.

All my love,
Remus

As Tonks finished reading the letter, a second owl flew in and dropped a package on her desk. She looked at it, puzzled, pondering what it could be. Finally she set aside the letter and pulled the twine off the brown package. As she pulled back the brown paper, brightly colored material began to peek through.

Her jaw dropped open wide as she realized it was an evening gown. She stood up and lifted the dress so she could have a better look. As she did, a piece of parchment fell out. She bent down and picked it up. As she stood up, she read what it said.

Nymphadora,

For you. It will look gorgeous on you.

Anyone else would put it to shame.

R.J.

She smiled to herself as she held up the dress to admire it.

The dress was beautiful. The bodice had only one shoulder strap and seemed like it would fit perfectly against her form. The material was full and swaying, perfect for ballroom dancing. The material was soft and sparkling, a beautiful bright pink and sparkling black swirled together to make up the dress. It was unlike any dress Tonks had ever seen and she instantly loved it. She also couldn't wait to wear it tonight. Even if it was a dress. But then again, she would do anything for Remus.
