Chapter 8- Remus and Tonks

Remus sat at a candle lite table in the corner of Madam Georgini's near the dance floor. He waited patiently, yet a little nervous. It was just after seven and Tonks was to arrive at any moment.

He looked down at the menu, trying to take his mind off Tonks. Every time they met for a date, he felt butterflies in his stomach. They had been dating for awhile now but the thrill of love and something new was still there inside him.

As Remus was remembering their last outing with a smile, someone cleared their throat. Remus looked up and laid eyes on the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

"Nymphadora," he breathed with a huge smile. He stood up, taking her hand and brushing his lips over it. She beamed at him, a little red in the cheeks. "You look gorgeous." He gave her a peck on the cheek and sat down.

"Thank you for the dress. It's like nothing I've seen before." Tonks said with a smile. "And you know that I don't like Nymphadora, Remus."

Remus smiled. "I know but it's so pretty." He said with a wink. She hit his hand playfully. "As for the dress, I saw it and it reminded me of you. I knew the pink would match your hair perfectly." He chuckled.

Tonks giggled. "It's my favorite color."

At that moment a waiter came over. "May I take your order?" he asked politely.

Tonks looked up at him. "Umm... yeah. Just give me a minute." She said and flipped open the menu. "Go ahead and go first R.J."

Remus nodded, glanced down at his menu, then gave the waiter his order. The waiter then turned to Tonks and took her order. He left them to talk as he took the menus away.

"So how was your day?" Remus asked as he took a drink from his water glass.

Tonks sighed. "Horrible. I seem to be getting clumsier by the day. I swear I knocked over my inbox at least thirty times today." She said leaning forward on her elbows. "How was your day?"

"Pretty good. I sat in on a few lessons. Harry taught the third years my Boggart lesson today," Remus said, also leaning forward on to his elbows.

"Really? How'd he do?"

"Quite well. I was very proud of him." Remus said with a smile. He paused, looking up into her eyes and taking her hands into his. "Tonks, I love you."

Tonks smiled a little. "I love you too Remus," she said in return. They both leaned in and their lips touched.

As they parted, the band began to play their first song. A smiled spread across Tonks's lips as she recognized it as one of her favorites. Remus chuckled when he realized what song it was.

"This is a good song." Remus commented trying to be subtle.

Tonks hit him on the arm. "You know I love this song." She said tapping her foot to the beat.

Remus smiled at her. "I know," he murmured. "I requested it for us." Tonks stared at him, her mouth slightly dropped open. "Nymphadora, would you care to dance?"

Tonks grinned and put her hand into his. "I'd love to," she replied. Together they stood up and walked out to the dance floor together.

Remus put an arm around Tonks's waist and she rested a hand on his shoulder. They then began to step with the time of the music. A few seconds later, a women began to sing. Tonks immediately joined in.

"Half moon bright, we dance tonight. I love you, even though you are a werewolf." Tonks sang quietly. Remus smiled at her.

"You know, I'd have to say I love this song too," he said slyly. Tonks hit him playfully again.

"You only like it because its about a werewolf," she said.

Remus shook his head. "No. I like it because it talks about us. It's as if the it was written for us." He said. Tonks was touched at the sentiment in his voice.

"I always thought so too," she whispered. "Even back when you were denying my feelings."

Remus looked down for a minute. "I know I was stupid then. I'm sorry Nymphadora. It was just the gap in our age. It was such a difference. I didn't know how you could love an old man such as myself. Especially not with the werewolf thing." He said, somewhat sadly.

"Oh R.J. Your age doesn't bother me. I love you for your personality, your mind, your heart. Not that you are so many years older then me. And you aren't really. Not that many anyway." She reached up and touched his cheek for a minute. "As for being a werewolf, it's part of who you are. It makes you unique, just like my Metamorphmagus. Your not dangerous when you take your potion and I'm working on becoming an animagus. I love you Remus and anything I can do to be with you, I will do it."

Remus smiled at her. "I love you too Tonks," he said giving the hand he held a squeeze. "With all of myself and being."

Tonks smiled. She could feel tears of happiness filling her eyes. Remus had never confessed his love with such truth as he just had.

"I love you Remus with all of my shapes, sizes, and heart," She confessed in return. She smiled at him and he at her. Then she made the first move and kissed him on the lips. Her kissed her back, holding her tighter around the waist.
