The first two part of the chapter is set after Harry is sent to bed by Mrs Weasly after Sirius had insisted on telling Harry what was going on in regards to Voldemort. The Thursday they watch the film is the day after the hearing. Dance Me To The End Of Love by Madeleine Peyroux. The song played and quoted at the end is You Know That I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse.

Dance Me To The End Of Love

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone, let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon. Show me slowly what I only know the limits of. Dance me to the end of love.

It is a sad fact that most human beings are perfectly capable of getting along with each other, they just choose not to. No one wants to have enemies, well at least no one worth making friends with. And the sad thing about the Order of the Phoenix is it only exists to fight its enemies. Although its setting is very morbid, it is a nice place to be because it has a strong sense of community and family, the things Harry Potter needs the most at this time.

Sure, he was pissed at Ron and Hermione for not telling him a fucking thing that had been going on, and yes, he might be chucked out of Hogwarts. But if he stopped and though about it he would have noticed that Number 12 was the safest and friendliest place he could have ended up.

However he was not stopping to think.

He had just spent the last quarter of an hour swearing at his reflection in the mirror. He didn't really gain anything from this experience except a few new phrases for Hermione to disapprove of, and there was no real reason for the self abuse, except he found his reflection so annoying.

Annoying, ha, his annoyance at his appearance was nothing compared to the look on Mrs Weasley's face when she found out that Mundungus was staying for dinner.

While the twins and Mundungus got on like a house on fire, Harry could not help but mistrust him. He knew he should not judge other people by their appearances (especially considering the state of his own) but Mundungus reminded him very much of a sunk.

He was going to be ok.

He was.

He was given a hearing instead of an expulsion, and he was with his friends. That was another thing; they had been here for ages, unlike him. Harry looked at his red, sick looking face in the mirror and filled the sink with cold water.

He plunged his face into the water and opened his eyes. As he held his face under the quiet water, the thought that would haunt him all evening drifted into his head

"I could just hold my head in here, until I ran out of air and then it would all be over".

He immediately pulled his head out of the sink, drops of water running down his face and dripping from his fringe. This was not the time to be weak. He dried his face with what he suspected to be a potato sack then went back to his room in an attempt to be social by telling the others all the information that he had been told.

He wasn't bad, Dung. She wouldn't have really minded him at all if it wasn't for the smell. She had only met him a few weeks ago, a couple of weeks before the Weasleys had arrived. Suddenly the house was full of people, and it had been goodbye to late nights and group binge drinking and hello to curfews, loud arguments and random explosions. But despite all this, Tonks loved the Weasleys like they were family. Well, not her own family as part of the reason she preferred to live at HQ was that her mother could not visit her there. Tonks was also grateful that there were more girls in the house, especially Hermione, who Tonks suspected was even more mature than she was.

But now the fun had really started.

Mr & Mrs Weasley and herself were sitting in the living room uncomfortably as Remus tried to calm Sirius down in the back garden.

"How dare she!" yelled Sirius, "How dare she, 'remind' me he's not James, I may have been in Azkaban but I haven't lost my bloody mind along with the rest of the shit brains in that place! How dare she, she acts like she's his mother, she-" Remus stretched his arm out and patted Sirius on the shoulder, as if turning his rage off by pushing a button.

"I Know," Remus said, in a low voice.

"He needed to Know"

Without another word, Moony and Padfoot hugged, in that awkward, stiff, way that grown men do, and turned back towards the house.

It was 11:00 a.m. on a Thursday morning and everyone in Grimuald Place was still in bed. All the Order members who had been at the meeting the night before had stayed the night as the meeting did not end until 3 in the morning. Harry had been allowed in this meeting for a short while too, but afterwards the adults had insisted that the children should go to bed. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the twins had reluctantly gone upstairs but did not need extendable ears to hear the shouts of the Molly and Sirius arguing in the dinning room. It seemed they still had not settled their argument about what Harry should and should not know. Eventually the noise triggered the wrath of Mrs Black, so an Imperturbable charm had been put on the door. After this the others heard no more until the heavy footsteps and hushed voices of the adults moved up the stairs to bed.

But now the house could almost be described as peaceful.

That was until the front door burst open and hit the wall behind it. Mundugus stumbled into the living room, trying to mange the weight of a very large television set. He turned to put it down, but saw Bill facedown asleep on the sofa drooling on a cushion. The weight became too much and he dropped TV on the hard wood floor. If it was not the almighty crash that woke up the Order members it was defiantly Mundugus's loud cry of

"Shiiiiiiiiiit!" as the edge of his loot landed on his toe.

"Look" said excitedly Arthur running his fingers over the screen "I can see myself in it!"

Everyone had gathered down stairs to find the source of the crash and had found Mundungus, trying to get his foot in to the sink to clean his toe. He looked pleased with himself, the TV had been much better received that he had expected.

"Yeah, well, I know 'ow much you like ya muggle stuff and I though it would give this lot 'ere somthin' to do instead a buggin' us."

Molly however was furious.

"These are stolen goods, and Mundungus is going to return them, so there's no point in getting attached!"

Sirius's attitude on the other hand was "Brilliant, some entertainment at last!"

"Nice of Dung, wasn't it" said Fred.

"Yeah," agreed George, "thinking of us during a heist."

After what seemed like an hour of looking for a spell to provide power for the TV the damn thing was finally working. Harry was sitting on the sofa with Ron and Hermione, Ginny was hanging in an arm chair upside down, while Tonks, Sirius and Lupin sat on the floor; and despite the disapproving looks from his wife, Arthur was bobbing up and down in his chair, loving every second of the film.

There was a large selection of DVDs that Dung happened to have and the Television must have been a new one as it came with a DVD player built in. The Film that had been chosen was 'Be Cool' as Sirius felt that could identify with John Travolta as he too had countless people wanting to kill him, and, according to Sirius they both had "sexy black hair" although personally Harry could not see this.

None of the younger lot were really following the film, as Harry and Hermione were having to explain to the other Weasleys what various muggle objects were. Luckily they already knew what a gun was, but to Harry's great amusement Hermione had to pause the film to explain what cool meant to Arthur, and he also suspected Lupin had not known what it meant either.

Lupin was actually enjoying the film, like Sirius, and he saw freakish parallels between the music business and the Order of the Phoenix, but had no idea what the characters were saying most of the time. For instance everyone kept calling each other brother, he was sure a woman had been called brother at one point and caused much laughter with the comment "they all must have had an extremely promiscuous mother". Sirius laughed so hard he thought he started to cry when Remus asked if Aerosmith was a washing detergent.

"Areosmith just sounds like…and she said that she used to do their washing."

"Don't you mean laundry?" corrected Tonks.

"Yes, and then we can all go to the mall and buy tom-at-oes and yo-gart".

His sarcasm was knocked back by the audiences hushing and a cushion Tonks threw at him.

"Oooh Blackeyed Peas!" said Ginny, who was surprisingly up to date with the muggle world and did not need Hermione or Harry's explanations. Everyone looked at her blankly.

"Oh, come on, some one must have heard of them?"

Silence.

A song started Playing and John Travolta and the character everyone was referring to as "that very tall blond one" started to dance. Ginny and Hermione were soon up copying the moves and laughing; Fred and George joined in except their actions were considerably more distasteful.

"Fred, George, please stop that, your mother might see," pleaded Mr Weasley, as Fred mocked spanking a bent-over George.

"That's what you get when you play a song called 'sexy' in front of these two," Ginny laughed as the song came to an emotional piano solo which the twins slow-danced too.

"I do worry about them sometimes" Ron murmured to Harry who let out a snort of laughter as George whacked Ron round the head.

"I've always wanted to be able to dance," Tonks said in a disappointed tone.

"Trust me," warned Ron, "you're not missing out."

"He's right," said Harry. "I still haven't got over the Yule ball".

"Well, I thought it was fun!" said Ginny, who settling back in her chair, thankfully the right way up.

"Moony here is very good at it!" smiled Sirius, knowing that no self respecting man wanted people to know he could dance.

"Well, I… I'm not very good at showing-"

Tonks cut him off. "If you're going to come up with some crap about not being able to teach people how to dance," she put strong emphasis on the word teach, "then I suppose Harry will have to take back what he was saying to me earlier".

Before Lupin could ask, Harry said-

"I said: you were one of the best teachers I've ever had."

Lupin looked momentarily stunned.

"Tonight then?"

"Can you teach me and Ginny too?" asked Hermione. At this point Ron looked as though he was considering joining them, but then, to Harry's relief, came to his senses and said nothing.

"Ok, that was good," said Remus unconvincingly, feeling the strain in his back as he bent down to pause Tonks's Cd that was playing in the DVD player. He had been teaching these three, excitable and very easily distracted women how to dance for the last half an hour. Hermione had been a bit self conscious at first, but, as always, had picked it up faster than anyone. Ron had come down stairs at regular intervals, muttering excuses such as "Need water" or "thought that mum…" then trailing off. Ginny kept cracking up with laughter when ever she caught Hermione's eye and Tonks struggled to stay on her feet for more than a minute.

"Last time I'm afraid ladies, I've only got so much energy." He tried to change the track but ended up muttering a swear word and calling Tonks over to do it. She shoed him out of her way and changed the track for him.

"Tonks, look up." Remus put his hands on her shoulders to get her to stand still then tilted her face up to look at him.

"I know it hard to believe but you'll find it easier if you look at me instead of concentrating of your feet."

At first their movements were stiff as before, but as she got used to the rhythm Tonks was finding it much easier to work with Lupin's movements. She had been looking just over his shoulder, but caught his eye, hurriedly looked away, causing her to look at her feet and nearly trip over. Remus gripped her arms tightly and she was able to remain upright.

"You're doing well!" he smiled reassuringly. That was Remus, always the teacher.

Ginny and Hermione gave up, leaving the two adults, in a quiet living room. The song had finished but was replaced by an up-beat one.

"What is this?" asked Remus, hearing the rap.

"It's brilliant!" she grinned and started to move to the music in a complexly different way than she had to the other style, as if she had danced to this song a lot in her own company. She drew closer to him and put her hand on his side. And this time she guided him.

I cheated myself, like I knew I would, I told ya, I was troubled, you know that I'm no good.

They were so close now. So close it was a wonder their noses didn't collide. Tonks looked at him, so she did not fall over. Remus in turn allowed himself to be led by her, so he could move with the music.

After what felt like a year they broke away from each other, still standing close together.

"Thanks for the lesson," Tonks said quietly, not moving.

Remus pushed a purple strand of hair out of her eyes and put his hand on the side of her face. Tonks had sincerely believed was going to kiss her, and so had Lupin. But he just stood there, opposite her.

Remus had frozen.

Eventually he turned round, without a word, and headed up the stairs to his room.

The manner in which he had turned away from her made Tonks feel as if they had been doing something shameful. They hadn't even done anything. And if they had, why would it have been a bad thing?

The Order of the Phoenix is a strange and amazing thing because it is, when you get down to it, a diverse and remarkable group or people all crammed into a very small space. So there are bound to be arguments and excitement and with these two particular members, why not love?

REVIEW! Go, do it now before you forget go, go! I bet you thought it had finished! No sorry about the amount of time I took to write a new chappie. The last chapter is going to be called That's All (a song by Genesis) and if you listen to it you should get the general mood of the last chapter (but there is a few to go before then). Had to put in the Amy Winehouse song. I also listened to Head by Kirsty MacColl (that I may name a chapter after) and Walking In Memphis by Marc Cohn. Sexy by the Blackeyed Peas was also played a fair few times, go and watch be cool if you haven't check out The Internet Movie Data Base.

Next chapter is most likely to involve the music of the band The Pipettes, so check out Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A feeling), that's what will feature in the chapter, or just for fun, Judy the new single.

Until next time

Don't let this ship sink!
