Fighting For Desired Love
CHAPTER V: Date Preparations
REMUS
By the time History of Magic class was over with, I literally ran out the door in desperation to get out. I hated that class. I glanced down at my silver watch even though I knew exactly what time it would be, 5:45, the time in which History of Magic class ended at. I looked down at myself, I couldn't go out with Nymphie in these robes, of course not!
Normal, casual, muggle clothes would do just fine.
I rushed upstairs to the portrait of the fat lady. "How are you today?" I asked her, in a very joyous manner, for that was how I felt at the moment.
"Very good, young man," she said surprised and delighted that somebody other than another portrait was speaking to her.
I nodded at her. "Phoenix," I told her.
She swung open gleefully, revealing the portrait hole. I stepped inside. "Thank you," I called from behind me. I heard her chuckle, and close behind me. The most important to me at the moment was to look perfectly appropriate for my date.
That sounded extremely odd to me. Never did I go on a date, never did I have loving feelings for anybody.
I was always alone, I only loved only my three friends, and with a brotherly love, nothing like this odd desire for Nymphie. I entered my dorm room and went straight to the shower.
TONKS
I was chatting with my friends, although all I could think of was Remus.
The way he kissed me; the odd urge I had to be with him; and the thing most odd of all, the fact that he didn't care that he would be dating a third year. Although I was thirteen, he was seventeen, it didn't seem like such a large difference, I thought. Of course when you're at a school like this, one year was like an eternity. I just couldn't believe it, a seventh year! He was just so…
"Tonks? Tonks?"
"Huh?
"I've been trying to talk to you. I need to ask you something." It was one of my close friends, Jaiyana.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I guess I was just day dreaming. What was it you were going to ask me?" I said, trying to hide my sadness, that I had been broken away from thoughts of him.
"Oh well we were just talking about that James Potter," she said and my other friends giggled at the mention of this name. "We were talking about how cute he is. Just absolutely charming, don't you think? It would be so cool to date a seventh year like him," she finished dreamily.
"Er-ya, sure," I said uneasily. I looked at my clock, it was nearly six! "Er-I kind of have to go," I said grabbing my bag and standing up to walk back to the dormitories.
"You have to go? Why? Come on, Tonks, stay and chat with us," said Jaiyana.
"No, I really can't. I-I have a…commitment. Er-I'll see you all later," I said turning my back and waving to them as I left.
How could I have forgotten the time so easily? Well, I just have to hurry up and change into some suitable clothes for a date. But what would that be? I've never been on a date before, I had no idea what to wear. Casual, dressy, semi-formal, there were so many options and I didn't know which one was the right one.
When I reached my dormitory, which I shared with three other girls, I surprisingly found one of the them sitting on her bed, singing. I walked in rather quietly, however she still noticed me. She looked up at my face and turned brightest red I have ever seen.
"Oh, Tiff! I'm so sorry to have barged in on you like that. It was very rude of me, I'm sorry, I-I'll leave," I said unwillingly and reaching for the doorknob. I had to change and shower; what was I supposed to do about that?
"No. Tonks, it's perfectly all right," she said in calm voice, now that the bright red color had drowned out of her cheeks. "That's all right. What are you here for anyway? Usually nobody is up at their rooms at this time."
"Oh, er-well…I was going to take a shower and get dressed," I said hesitantly.
"Oh, are you going to go to sleep early today? I'll leave, I wouldn't want to wake you," she said nicely. Tiffany was the only, shall I say, humble, modest, and kind roommate I had.
"No, I wasn't," I said, deciding on whether to tell her about the date or not. I suppose I should since I needed help on choosing what to wear. She looked at me curiously, obviously not knowing what I was doing in the room. "Actually, I have a date tonight," I told her. My face was not looking directly at her but more or less at the leg of her bed.
"Oh! Oh my! That's exciting! With who?" she then asked and I was worried about this, I really had not wanted to tell a soul about this and I felt my hair flash a bluish color. She laughed, obviously not noticing the effort I had in not telling her.
"I'd rather not say," I finally said, fixing my hair to the reddish color it had been before.
"Oh that's alright. I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry. Who you date is none of my business," she said and I could tell that she felt guilty.
"No, really it's fine," I said. "I was actually kind of hoping that since you're here, you could help me choose out something to wear."
"Oh! I'd love to help," she said excitedly.
"Oh! Thank you, Tiff. I'd really appreciate it, but I think that I should probably shower first. You can go through my clothes while I shower, I guess," I said pointing to the wardrobe that I used.
"Oh okay; sounds good," she said.
"Great," I said and I looked down at my watch, I didn't have much time at all. I would have to hurry.
I quickly got into the shower and made the shower itself as short as possible. When I stepped out, Tiff was still going through my things, but she had an outfit set up on my bed. "Oh you're done. What time did you say the date was at?" she said just noticing that I had left the shower.
"I didn't say. It's at 6: 30 though. Is this what you want me to wear?" I said pointing at the clothes on the bed. It was one of my pairs of jeans, the shirt however I did not recognize. It couldn't be mine, I thought.
"Yes, I was looking to see if you had any casual/dressy shirts but they're all a little too casual, so I put out one of mine. Which date is this with the guy? That's kind of vital as to what you wear," she said looking up from my clothes.
"Well…this is actually my first date ever," I said again looking down, but carefully as to not drop my towel wrapped around me.
"Oh, then this will do fine. Here," she said getting up and handing me her shirt and my jeans. "I don't know where you keep your bras and underwear so you'll have to get those yourself," she said and I nodded.
I went to the bathroom and changed into the clothes set up for me to wear on this date with Remus. I was thankful now that I had short hair; it would dry fast, just before I had to leave. It was almost time and when I got out of the bathroom, Tiff was looking up at me smiling at her work.
"Good. Here, these shoes will match. Do you need me to do your make-up?" she asked me.
"No. That's alright Tiff. I think that I'll just put on a little myself. I don't usually wear to much make-up," I said as I slipped on the shoes. "Okay I'll see you later." I waved at her and glanced down at my watch, he would be waiting
REMUS
My shower didn't take long, and I was ready just as the clock turned to 6:30. She would be waiting, I thought, and it would be dreadful to make Nymphie wait for me.
I ran down the steps, much faster than I thought I was capable of as a person and not a werewolf. When I got to the bottom step I heard loud running footsteps from the girls dorms. Nymphie got to the bottom of the staircase at exactly the same time as I had.
She looked amazing. There was no one in the common room, so I put my hand out for her to grab. I looked down at her and her hair began to turn darker and darker red. She put her hand in mine. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"You look beautiful." I had said.
