*IN NATS PERSPECTIVE. NAT IS A CHARICTER I CREATED*

I was glad that Harry let us stay here! I love Grimmauld place! It's so amazing! The long stairs, the high ceilings! "HEY! Snap out of it and help me with the ornaments!"

As I started to pick up ornaments out of the giant box on the floor I was reminded about another Christmas I had here in Grimmauld place. It was just, and I mean JUST, before Tonks and Remus started dating.

(FLASHBACK)

The door of Grimmauld Place flung open as Tonks, Sirius, and Remus came inside. "Tonks!" I screamed and ran toward her. "Hey Nat!" Tonks pulled me into a big hug.

"Gee thanks I feel SO welcomed home!" Sirius said smiling. "Hey Sirius! WELCOME HOME!" After Sirius messed up my hair and released me from his hug I turned to say hello to Remus.

"Hey Remus! Welcome back! I missed you!" I knew I was getting carried away so I stopped talking. "glad to be back! I missed you too!" We hugged and my heart skipped a beat.

I don't like to admit it but…I like Remus. I mean LIKE like him. I'm not one to really let people that close to me due to a hard past, but Remus, Tonks, and Sirius are mostly the only people I let in my inner circle.

I released him and took a step back. I could feel myself starting to blush so I looked at my feet. "Hey Nat I have to talk to you!" Tonks reached put and grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room.

"Oh gossip can I come?" Sirius said his voice thick with sarcasm. Tonks replied by sticking her tongue out at him. I followed Tonks into the living room and sat on the floor next to the Christmas tree that Tonks and I were going to decorate. Tonks sat across from me and her hair had turned a bright red.

"Nat" Tonks said, "I think I'm in love!"

"REALLY?! Me too!"

"You go first Nat!"

"No, go ahead! TELL ME!"

"Okay!" Tonks took a deep breath before continuing then she said, "I think I'm in love with Remus!"

My heart sank. I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart, and I must of looked like it too. "Nat are you okay?" Tonks said reaching out and feeling my forehead. I recovered quickly and put on the best fake smile I could.

"That's gr-great Tonks!" Tonks was bouncing up and down with excitement. "I think im going to ask him on a date!"

I didn't want to hurt her, and no guy was worth risking our friendship, but still, it hurt…a lot.

"What about the guy you like Nat?" Tonks asked.
