Second chapter is here, I felt that the first was a little too depressing so i made this one happier. I would also like to thank the one person that reviewed.

"Hi Tonks!" Ginny smiled attempting to seem enthusiastic. Turning Ginny saw that Tonks had actually decided to dress up for the occasion, wearing a short pink and black dress which showed her legs nicely and if Ginny was honest a fair bit of cleavage. Peculiarly she had opted to wear a pair of bright pink trainers to which Ginny just shook her head and smiled, for it was these small quirks that made Tonks loveable in her eyes and made it harder to stop Ginny from jumping into her arms. "So… like what you see?" Tonks smirked.

"What?!" Ginny said, shocked from her thoughts.

"Well you were sorta checking me out there,"

"No!" Ginny lied "I've just never seen you in dress before!"

"Oh, well what do you think?" Tonks said, sounding disappointed.

"Not bad."

"Not bad? Cheeky witch" Tonks said crossing her arms "You look not bad yourself"

"Thanks, so what are you doing here so early?" Ginny asked suddenly serious.

"Well I thought I could help out, you know with the food and stuff" seeing Ginny's eyes go wide, Tonks raised her voice "What? I can cook!" the young witch raised one eyebrow "Riiiiight, I'll leave you to it then" smirked Ginny.

Walking outside Ginny smiled to herself however much heartache she felt over Tonks just talking to her made it all go away and reminded the young witch how much she loved the older woman. Breathing in the cool morning air Ginny hugged herself as however beautiful the dress made her it wasn't well insulated thought Ginny. Walking past the kitchen window she spied Tonks hard at work, though only leaving a few seconds ago somehow the auror had managed to get herself covered in flour but was oblivious to this on her usually relaxed expression was alternating from puzzlement and concentration and she had her tongue between her teeth. Ginny watched for a few minutes smiling to herself at the adorable display, suddenly Tonks spotted her and shooed her away with large hand gestures and promptly knocked over the flour for the second time, deciding it was time to make her escape she made her way to the garden. Watching various wizards decorating the garden and erecting tents she decided to make herself useful and helped her dad with removing some of the garden gnomes.

Several hours later Ginny finally extracted the last gnome and as he sailed over the fence a string of profanity followed him, cringing she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder "Hey Gin, mind going and checking on Fleur for me?" asked her older brother Bill.

"Okay" Ginny sighed making her way back to the house. Entering the kitchen, for she had decided to check that Tonks hadn't set the place on fire before going to Fleur, seeing that the kitchen was fine and remarkably free from flour she watched her auror stirring a large pot whilst Mrs Weasley was icing a large wedding cake. Walking over to Tonks she sniffed the air appreciatively "Mmmm, smells good!" smiled Ginny.

"Really?" questioned Tonks "I was under the impression that a certain young witch doubted my cooking skills." Before Ginny could reply the auror had grabbed her chin and thrust a spoon towards her mouth, seeing that Tonks wasn't going to back down she quickly tasted the dish, surprisingly the food seemed edible and certainly tasty.

"Wow, what was that?"

"Irish stew, glad you liked it," grinned Tonks.

"Yea, but what was the flour for?" asked Ginny confused, smiling Tonks opened the oven and pulled out a tray filled with, "Muffins!" shouted the slightly deranged auror, receiving a funny look from Mrs Weasley and a fit of giggles from Ginny. "Tonks dear, are muffins really suitable?" asked Molly in an exasperated tone.

"Of course Molly, muffins are suitable for every occasion" replied a clueless Tonks, leaving her mother to debate the relative merits of muffins she went to check on Fleur.

Several minutes later after being thrown out of Bill's room by an irate Fleur, Ginny returned to her room and plopped down onto her bed. Seeing Tonks in the kitchen made her think of living with her and waking up next to her, the fact that she could cook was a surprising bonus, but once again this was just a dream because she knew that the auror was just playing when she pretended to flirt with her. Sighing she stood and removed the parchment scraps and shoved them in the box beneath her bed with the rest, and took her quill and began to write:

Dear Tonks,

I didn't ask to feel this way, but ever since I met you I felt that we have a close connection until two years ago that's all I wanted, a close friendship then everything changed. I know you won't return my feelings and probably just see me as a child, but I want you to know for I cannot keep this to myself any longer, when your away my life is colourless and cold but when I'm with you everything takes on a better aspect, its warmer, colourful, happy and wonderful. I want everyday to be like that, I never want to leave your side. I love you.

Gin

I wasn't one of her more eloquent letters but it was straight to the point and Ginny liked it, pity it would stay with the others for she hadn't the courage to send them. Hearing her door open she quickly stood, seeing Tonks she visibly stiffened "Gin, your mom wants you," said Tonks grinning, pushing past her Ginny made her way downstairs leaving a confused Tonks. What the hell was that thought the auror being trained to recognise suspicious people making her way into the young witch's room she spied a letter addressed the her, confused she grabbed it and held it up to the light but before she could read it she was shouted, quickly folding it and stuffing it into her sock for she had no pockets, remembering why she liked jeans she resolved to read it later.

Ginny stood at the makeshift alter with Gabrielle, Bill and Charlie all awaiting Fleur. When the bride did decide it was time to enter, all eyes were on her as her thrall flowed from her all were effected apart from that of a young bridesmaid who had eyes for only one witch.

Watching Luna dance alone she wished she had her courage, for she knew that if Luna liked someone she would tell them, for Merlin's sake she was in Gryffindor she was supposed to be brave thought Ginny. Taking a sip of champagne the young witch sat down at the edge of the dance floor and continued to watch Luna and sip at her drink. Feeling a presence at her shoulder she turned and her eyes once again met those of her favourite auror "Want to dance Gin?" smiled Tonks.

"Sure, but why do you want to dance with me?" Ginny smirked.

"Well mainly cause then I don't have to worry about getting groped" Tonks replied jokingly making Ginny blush madly, oh if only you knew thought the young witch. Grasping Ginny's hand Tonks lead her onto the dance floor and wrapped her arms around the slightly shorter girl. Feeling that fate had finally worked out in her favour for the dance was slow, and Ginny was amazed at how well her body fitted into the older woman's and how natural it felt to be in her arms. Sighing the young witch allowed her head to rest on the chest of her partner and felt completely safe, all too soon the song finished and Tonks pulled away from her, smiling to one another the two women decided to sample some of Tonk's cooking but suddenly a patronus leapt into the centre of the tent and spoke "The ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming." Suddenly several columns of black smoke appeared Ginny felt her heartbeat quicken and but then she felt a warm body against her own pressing them together then everything when dark.

A/N: I would still like to hear what you think, and I am still looking for a Beta as you can probably tell.
