Talking
It was the Hogsmeade weekend coming up and Bill knew he had to make Tonks and Charlie talk somehow. He knew he couldn't just tell them both the other one fancied them because they wouldn't believe him.
He looked at Charlie who was playing with a snitch as he leaned against a tree facing Tonks, and then he looked at Tonks who was watching Charlie while pretending to read a book. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of them both pretending not to be watching the other.
Charlie dropped his snitch and Tonks smiled, trying not to look as though she had seen and Bill decided to talk to her first.
"Hey Tonks," he said, sitting down beside her. "What are you reading?"
"Just… a book…" she replied, not entirely sure herself of what book she had taken out of her bag.
Bill nodded "Having fun watching Charlie and pretending to read then?" he asked, grinning.
"What?!" Tonks asked, blushing almost as much as she had done before in the Great Hall when he mentioned Charlie.
"Well it's kind of obvious. You are staring at him!" Bill replied, laughing at the look on Tonks' face.
"Oh right… It's not like I stand a chance any way though Bill…" Tonks replied, sighing and stuffing the book back into her bag.
"You don't know that though," Bill replied, trying to get her to just go and talk to him.
"Yes I do," Tonks said, standing up "Anyway did you want anything?"
"I just wondered if you wanted to meet up in Hogsmeade at the weekend. It's been a while since we talked," Bill said, standing beside her.
"Yeah ok. Sounds like it could be fun," she replied smiling.
"Ok then Three Broomsticks at 11 o'clock then," Bill said, smiling then turning and walking away.
