"You know you can talk to me, right?" Tonks asked the older gentleman sitting next to her. "These night watches can get quite boring if you don't talk." She sighed getting no response. She poked the man to make sure he could hear her.
"TONKS!" Screamed the voice of Mad-Eye Moody. "I don't want to talk, I am trying to keep watch. Constant Vigilance, Tonks. Constant Vigilance."
"Well, I was just saying that it is getting boring. If you don't talk to me, I might fall asleep." She stated, turning to face him.
"I'm finding someone else to patrol with you. I need Kingsley with me. He doesn't try to bother me." He said standing up and walking back into Grimmauld Place. "I'm seeing of anyone else is up."
Tonks sat patiently and waited. She was secretly glad someone else would be coming out. She respected Mad-Eye, but he was boring at times, always wants to keep to himself. She looked out to the sky, the night was beautiful, stars all over and a moon that was just a crescent. She heard footsteps coming out of the house and turned around to see Remus Lupin.
"Hiya!" Tonks said, immediately blushing for reasons she didn't understand. Sure, he was attractive, but she hadn't talked to him before.
"Hi…" Remus nervously took the seat beside her. This girl, he couldn't figure her out. There was something about her bright pink hair that fascinated him, but he couldn't let his mind get distracted. Definitely not with thoughts of a girl who had to be less than half his age.
"So, Remus . Right? I hope you are going to talk to me. I can't stay awake much longer listening to my own thoughts." She chewed on her nail to keep herself occupied.
"Well, Tonks. What would you like to talk about?"
"Let's talk about us. I know nothing about you. So, tell me what is behind those mysterious eyes?"
"Nothing, just an old man with a lot of boring thoughts." He told her, hoping she wouldn't ask many more questions. He wasn't sure if she knew he was a werewolf, it wasn't really a secret upon the Order members. However, he wasn't just going to come out and say it.
"Oh, there has got to be more than that. You have gorgeous eyes, there has to be something more behind them." She let slip before catching herself. "I, um, I mean your eyes would look gorgeous on anyone. Not that they don't look gorgeous on you. They uhm.." She trailed off trying to compose herself.
"It's okay. I know what you mean." Lupin responded to try and get her to calm down. He wasn't actually sure what she had meant by it, but there was no need to fuss over it. "So, Tonks. Tell me about yourself."
They sat there for multiple hours, just talking. He learned that she got made fun of at Hogwarts for her name and that's why she will only go by Tonks. She learned of his childhood, growing up with Sirius and James. They didn't even notice the sun coming up until Molly came outside.
"Breakfast is ready!" Molly said motioning for them to get up and come in. She turned around and walked back towards the kitchen.
"I'm starving!" Tonks started walking inside when she tripped on a step. She braced herself to hit the ground when she felt a very strong pair of arms wrap around her waist just in time to catch her.
