Tonks

Tonks was sitting in the Great Hall eating her lunch quietly a few days after she had noticed Charlie watching her and her friends. She saw he was with a group of his friends and they were having a food fight as usual. She smiled, wondering why he seemed so attracted to throwing food around when she heard someone say her name behind her.

She turned around and saw Bill standing there. "Wotcher Bill," she said, smiling and moving up so he could sit down.

"Hey Tonks," he said, sitting beside her. "How are you?"

"I'm ok thanks Bill. How about you?" she asked, looking over at the Gryffindor table as someone got hit in the face with a custard pie.

"I'm ok thanks," Bill laughed as he saw the food fight at the Gryffindor table.

"Shouldn't you be doing something about that?" she asked, watching with an amused look on her face.

"Well if I don't notice it happening I don't have to and I don't really want to be called a spoil sport when I go to the common room later so no," he laughed.

"Ok then," she laughed and they sat and watched the food fight until a teacher came along and stopped it. Bill noticed Tonks watching Charlie running away before McGonagall spotted him and he smiled.

"D'you think she spotted him?" Bill asked smiling as Tonks turned back to him blushing slightly.

"I doubt it," she replied, blushing more at the fact that he had noticed her watching him.

"Do you fancy him?" Bill asked, thinking she would probably slap him but wanting to know the answer he decided he might as well ask.

She blushed more and said "Is it that obvious?"

Bill looked quite surprised that she hadn't slapped him or anything. "Well you're blushing quite a bit so…"

"Oh right…" she replied, blushing more. Bill laughed. "What's so funny?" she asked.

"You're blushing even more now!" he laughed again as she hit him playfully. "Why don't you ask him out?"

"He wouldn't be interested, Bill. He's your brother who always says no when someone asks him out for Merlin's sakes!" she sighed and blushed a bit more. "He's hardly going to say yes to me, is he?"

"Why don't you just talk to him?" Bill suggested.

"I'd rather not ruin the friendship…" she replied, looking away and Bill knew he had to get them to talk somehow so they would realise they both wanted this relationship.
