For PotterSummers, my second reviewer. You rock!

Disclaimer: Ok…I'm really getting tired of this. I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER!

Pairing: Harry/Tonks

A pink haired woman walked the halls of Hogwarts in search of Harry Potter. The woman's name was Nymphadora Tonks and she had an urgent message to pass on to the famous wizard. She didn't know what it was, but when she got there her heart would know what to say…right?

Several students passed her and each one would look at her and whisper to their companion. Some would look on in astonishment and giggle or some, like Dennis Creevey, would shout excitedly saying he wanted to do that when he was older.

Tonks would just smile and nod at them searching for the coal haired boy. He had to be somewhere…

"Harry Potter has caught the snitch!" screamed Lee Jordan.

The twins, Fred and George Weasley just grinned as they touched down.

"Lee, you do realize-" said Fred

"That this is practice, right?" finished George.
The dark skinned boy just grinned. "I have to practice to you know," Just then he spotted Harry touching lightly to the ground. The chosen boy put the snitch away before he turned to a grinning Lee. "Nice catch Potter, really fantastic when you flipped before diving after it."

Harry smiled. "Thanks, Lee."

Lee smiled. "Oh, and I think that lady is waiting for you." He said pointing to a bubblegum haired woman.

Harry nodded before running over to where Tonks was. His scarlet quidditch robes were wet and muddy, from the rain earlier that day. "Hey Tonks," he said.

Tonks smiled blushing slightly. "Hello Harry," she said as her blue eyes sparkled. "Um…listen I have something to tell you."

Harry suddenly became very alert. "Is something wrong? Does the order need help?"

Tonks shook her head looking around, "Um...its...its very important, but could we go somewhere private?" she asked, as students looked at the pair curiously.

Harry looked to the students too before nodding. "Yeah…let's go up to the common room…"

And so Harry and Tonks set off for the Gryffindor common room. Along the way several girls, like Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood stopped them to comment Tonks on her hair. Tonks had smiled blushing slightly saying thank you. As they traveled up the winding staircase Malfoy called out to them.

"Oy Potter! What happened to your girlfriend's hair? Did one of those lawnmowers get to it?"

Tonks' sapphire eyes had flashed in anger and Harry had brandished his wand ready to jinx the hell out of Malfoy. Luckily Pansy Parkinson showed up at that moment to gush over Draco and invite him to lunch. She batted her eye lashes at him and made suggestive gestures.

Harry and Tonks took this time to get away and up to the portrait.

"Password?" asked the fat lady as she eyed Tonks with a raised brow.

"Fanged Frisbee." stated Harry. The fat lady nodded, and the portrait swung aside.

Tonks made her way into the common room slowly looking at the roaring fire and the comfy red armchairs.

Harry had gone to change so she seated herself by the fire. A few moments later the emerald eyed boy appeared wearing black cargoes and a white t-shirt. His hair was sticking up at every angle and his glasses were slightly askew as if he were in a hurry to get ready. He smiled a small nervous smile as he seated himself across from her. "Um…so what did you want to tell me?" he asked as his gaze traveled up her body. Tonks was wearing a gray v-neck t-shirt with jean shorts that went to her mid thigh.

Tonks realizing what Harry was doing blushed a crimson red, clearing her throat.

Harry snapped his head back up to her face, blushing.

"Um...I wanted to say…um…" Tonks couldn't tear her gaze away from his jade eyes. "Harry, I…"

Harry cocked his head to one side. "Yes…." He urged. "Harry, you…"

Tonks shut her mouth. She couldn't say it. She was seven years older than him for Merlin's sakes! The pink haired woman sighed. "Harry, what I'm trying to say is…that I love you…"

Harry's eyes widened in shock. A twenty-four year old was admitting her love for him, a 7th year in Hogwarts. He smiled. "Tonks, I-"

Tonks stood, as tears began to run down her cheeks. Her eyes changed from a sparkling blue to a placid grey. "I know, 'Tonks I don't love you the same way.', it's the same with everyone." The Metamorphmagus paced around, wiping at the tears but the more she wiped them away the more they came.

"No, Tonks I was going to say-"

"You were going to say I was too told to go out with you, right?" said Tonks spinning to turn to him. She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket dabbing her eyes.

"Tonks!" yelled Harry.

Tonks stopped in her tracks wringing the wet handkerchief.

"What I was going to say is…I love you too…." Harry stood up and went over to her, wiping the tears from her cheeks. "I love you, Tonks."

Nymphadora, or Tonks as she was called smiled through her tears. "You do?"

Harry nodded, smiling. "I do." He slowly leaned forward and Tonks closed her eyes as the space between them grew less and less. Finally someone would love her without any objections. Finally she knew someone cared.

Their lips connected in a sweet, loving kiss, and as they broke apart Tonks stared at Harry through jade green eyes. This often meant she was in a very happy mood. A blush was set upon her cheeks and she smiled. "Thank you," she said hugging him. "I love you so much and thank you!" she said crying again.

Harry chuckled, as he hugged her back. "Tonks, you're crying again."

Tonks whacked him on the head, playfully. "These are tears of joy you, Snidget!"

Harry smiled pressing a soft kiss to her head. "I know."
