Chapter 4

"Harry!" Ginny cried as she hung on to Harry's middle. "I missed you."

"Hello, Ginny," Harry said smiling "How are you?"

"Alright, I guess. I missed you so much." Ginny let go of Harry and turned to her brother and Hermione. "Ron! Hermione! Welcome back."

"Good to see you, Gin," Ron replied hugging his youngest and only sister. "Where's Mum?"

"Out back, she and Fleur are arguing over something." Ginny cringed at Flier's name. She still hated her. "Fred and George are wreaking havoc with some of their new stuff. Bill and Charlie are arguing over tuxes or something. Dad has to work for another hour and Tonks and Lupin are fighting about something." She finished and stared at the three new arrivals. Harry and Ron were frowning, they were hoping for some more happy things. Hermione had the look of wanting to help or something like that. "Well, we're going to put our stuff away and then we'll be back to help," Ron said as he levitated his trunks and head to his room.

"Oh, okay. Hermione, you can put your things in my room." Ginny said, losing some of her bounce.

Harry, Ron and Hermione headed upstairs to put their stuff away, Ron in the lead. Hermione left them at the first landing and head to Ginny's room to put her stuff away. Harry and Ron continued up to Ron's room in the attic. Ron opened the door and dropped his trunk o the ground at the foot of his bed. Harry did the same to the cot he figured was for him.

They didn't say anything till Hermione came back and broke the silence. "Well, we should probably go se what we can do."

"Yeah, mum doesn't even know we're back."

The three of them headed back downstairs. For some reason none of them seemed in very good moods, they held their rain cloud of despair. They reached the landing to a heavy argument coming from the kitchen.

"Reamus, will you stop?"

"No, you haven't promised me yet!"

"I will not promise you something like that!"

"Tonks, please!"

"No!" the kitchen door opened as Tonks came out waving her hands over her violently purple hair "No!" she stated again as Lupin followed her through the door.

"Please!"

"No!' they argued till they past the steps and saw the trio

"Harry, Ron, Hermione," they chanted together.

"It's great to see you back again," Tonks said smiling. She gave them each hugs "Well, Molly needs me."

"Yes go help her." Lupin replied as Tonks laughed and gave him a playful kiss before turning and leaving the house.

"What were you arguing about?" Harry asked after exchanging greeting with Lupin.

"Well since you three have been at the Dursleys, as you can obviously tell me and Tonks have moved our relationship to couple status."

"Same with these two." Harry said behind him to Ron and Hermione, as he followed Lupin back into the kitchen.

"Oh, really congratulations you two."

"Thanks, same to you." said Hermione beaming, she had cheered up a bit.

"Thanks, but we're still having some problems." Lupin said as he passed out three butter beers and took seats at the Weasley's kitchen table,

"Like what?" Harry asked taking a sip of butter beer. He was very interested in what everyone else was up to since he last saw them. It helped him feel more connected,

"Well, like the fact that. I'm still a werewolf and older then her. I asked her to if the situation arose, to shoot me."

"What?" the trio chorused chocking on butter beer, they much of misheard.

"I mean if while I'm in werewolf form and I attack her for any reason to shoot me down. Save herself, because I would feel horrible if anything happened to her because of me." Lupin looked around the table. Harry and Ron were smiling but Hermione was looking very serious. "Do you think I'm being crazy?"

"No, I – no," Harry finished lamely, he for some reason found this very funny. "Sorry, but it seems like a very strange request." Harry finished trying to cover up, by giving a reason for his laughing. Ron just nodded, not trusting himself to speak. He thought he'd laugh till he cried if he did.

"I don't think it's strange, I think it's rude and hurtful," Hermione said glaring at Ron who was shaking with silent laughter.

"It's not funny," She snapped.

"Well, it kind of is."
"How?" Lupin asked, he was very confused.

"Alright, well, Lupin you're asking the woman you love to kill you and it just seems like something you joke about not make them promise to," Ron said wiping his eyes. "Sounds like a bad joke."

"I see, I guess."

"But – No! Your hurt her by asking her that." Hermione was still very serious and kept shooting nasty look at Harry and Ron.

"No, he wasn't. You saw Tonks she thought it was as absurd as we do!" Harry replied smiling. "Don't worry Lupin, you guys are perfectly fine."

"Oh, okay. Thanks!" Lupin replies smiling. Now that they were discussing it, it did seem very funny.

"Fine, if you're going to act like that, I'm leaving," Hermione whined getting up from her chair and leaving in a huff.

"Women," the guys chorused together.
