R&R Please :) Oh and thanks for all your reviews! Keep them coming:P

Tonks heard her alarm ring seven in the morning and she wished that she could press the alarm off and go back to sleep. But today she was going shopping with her friends. She found it hard to believe that she was going to Hogsmeade with friends. She slowly got out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom, half asleep. She took a shower, which woke her up, then she quickly dried and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. She dressed into a grey t-shirt, three-quarter length jeans, and a pair of silver pumps. She double checked she had everything, including the money she had left over from past birthday's. She tightly fastened the galleons into her purse. She left the Hufflepuff common room, exited down the Grand Staircase and began to wait for Lily in the Entrance Courtyard. She spotted a redhead girl enter into the courtyard and she waved her over.

"Claire and Sarah aren't coming, they wanted to spend the day getting the dormitory ready. They say they'll see you later on. Although they sent the request that we bring sweets back."

"Okay. Guess it's just you and me then. I'll happily shop for sweets any day." said Tonks, who was grinning.

"That's what I said." Lily laughed. "But I will not return to Hogwarts until I have purchased a dress."

"Well, we'd better get going or else we could be there all night." Tonks joked. The two girls walked arm-in-arm on their journey to Hogsmeade.

The street was busy with excited students, they were going everywhere. Lily steered Tonks towards a shop that sold dresses. The variety was endless, there was rows upon rows of dresses, all of which were truly magnificent. There was a door at the back of the room, and through it hundreds and hundreds of pairs of shoes were displayed.

"Hey Tonks!" cried Lily. "Come and see this!"

Tonks walked over to Lily, who had a shiny light pink dress in her hand. It had short sleeves, which puffed out, the skirt was knee length and it had petticoats underneath. It wasn't too low-cut, Tonks thought it looked beautiful.

"That would look really nice on you." Tonks told Lily.

"Not for me silly! You! I bet it would look lovely on you. Go on, you have to try it on!" said Lily, handing her the dress.

Tonks looked at the shelves and found a very light cream dress hanging there. It had thin straps, the dress flowed to the floor. It looked very elegant.

"I'll try it on if you try this on." Tonks handed Lily the dress, who stood and admired it for several seconds.

"Deal. We'd better get into the line or else we truly will be here all night."

Tonks and Lily waited in the line to try their dresses on for about ten minutes when two booths became free. Tonks slowly put the dress on, afraid that she would fall and rip it. After she fastened the zipper, she left the booth and found Lily standing outside, waiting to see Tonks wearing her dress.

"Tonks, you look beautiful!" Lily cried in delight.

"You do too." She said. "You definitely need to but that."

"Same to you." said Lily jokingly.

"I'll only buy it if I can find a pair of shoes to match. I'm going to change, I'm afraid I'm damage the dress." Tonks rushed back into the changing room and she quickly changed back into her clothes.

She and Lily wandered through the door at the back of the room, not sure where to start. There was all the different shoes that could come into the human mind. They had every colour, every size, it was fantastic. Tonks saw a pair of sparkly pink ballet pumps, she didn't want to wear heels because she knew that her feet would be aching by the end of the night and because she knew that she would fall and embarrass herself. She tried on the shoes and they felt perfect, they were just the right size and everything.

"Lily!" She cried. "How are you doing?"

"Not too bad. I think I've found a pair. Come and see what you think!"

Tonks dodged the obstacles of falling shoes until she finally found Lily. 'This place is like a maze.' she thought to herself. Lily was looking at a pair white shoes, they had a very small heel and they had a strap so they wouldn't fly off. After a very long descussion of whether she should buy them or not, she decided to. They both emerged from the shop, with bags in their hands, glad that they had found their dresses.

"Do you want to go to Honeydukes?" Lily asked.

"I would never say no to a visit to Honeydukes." Tonks enthusiastically.

"Well that's settled then." Lily replied, and together they walked to Honeydukes.

As soon as Tonks entered the sweet shop she felt a warmth spread through her. Jingling her purse, she guessed she had about sixteen galleons left. She saw lollipops bigger than her head, sugar quills, and the biggest basket of chocolate frogs she had ever seen. She picked up a basket and dropped four lollipops into it. She grabbed a couple of sugar quills for Transfiguration. She couldn't resist to pick up the basket of chocolate frogs, she would share them with everyone tonight.

"Tonks?" Lily asked, who was carrying two full baskets of sweets. "Ready to pay?"

"Yeah. Let's do it."

They both purchased their items and then exited back out into the blistering cold. The snow was knee deep and Tonks could feel her legs freezing.

"T-Tonks?" said Lily through chattering teeth. "C-can we g-go into the T-Three Broomsticks?"

"I thought y-you'd never a-ask." Tonks replied.

They ploughed through the snow until they saw the entrance to the Three Broomsticks. Lily went ahead to buy drinks and Tonks started to search for an empty table. She spotted one right in the back and she made her way over. She got about halfway there when her foot got caught around and chair leg and she felt herself falling over. She felt a set of hands catch her so she stood back up and looked at the person who had saved her from embarrassment.

"Thanks Loopy." She said staring at him.

"No problem Dora." He replied.

Their eyes met each other, and they kept their gaze for about thirty seconds. Lily shook them back into reality.

"Tonks, did you manage to find a table." Lily asked, holding two Butterbeers in her hands.

"Uh yeah, there's one over there." Tonks pointed to the table at the back and Lily went and sat down.

"Umm, I guess I'll see you later." Tonks said, smiling at him. "Oh and thanks again."

She went and joined Lily who had a wide grin spread across her face.

"What are you so happy about?" Tonks asked, taking a sip of Butterbeer, the warmth of it spread through her, and she felt a lot better.

"Nothing." She happily replied.

"What is it? Come on, you can tell me." Tonks said, wondering why she was so happy.

"It just seems to me that you like Remus."

"Of course I do, he's a friend." said Tonks.

"I didn't mean it in that way. Come on, just admit it. You fancy Remus Lupin.

Tonks suddenly felt her face growing warm, she guessed that she had blushed.

"See you do! The colour of your face is as good as a confession." Lily replied grinning.

"Maybe I do. But there is no way he would be interesting in me." Tonks replied. "Can we drop it please?" She asked.

"Course we can." Lily replied finished the last of her Butterbeer. "What time is it?"

"It's about half five." said Tonks, looking at her watch.

"We'd better go. The sleepover starts at seven. Claire and Sarah would have my head if we were late."

"Yeah okay. I'm getting kind of hungry too, by the time we get back dinner will be ready." Tonks picked up the rest of her bags and they walked back to Hogwarts castle.

The Great Hall was full of hungry, excited kids. Girls were looking at their dresses in awe and boys were admiring the prank materials that they had bought front Zonko's Joke Shop. Lily and Tonks sat down at the Gryffindor table and they both piled their plates full with food.

"So, has anyone asked you to the ball Lily?" Tonks asked.

"A few people, but I've turned them down. They were arrogant and full of themselves." Lily replied, taking a bite of her macaroni cheese.

"I'll tell you what, we'll both go together, without a boy and we'll still have a good time. Deal?" asked Tonks.

"Yeah, we will. You're a really good friend Tonks." Lily said, giving her a quick hug.

"So are you Lily, in fact you're the first friend I've had that's been a girl."

"People are idiots. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you." Lily said. "Come on, we'd better go. It's seven." Tonks left the Great Hall, ready for her first sleepover.
