Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters etc.

A/N: Please R&R.

I am alive! I am updating! Everyone can relax! Or you know not. Sorry for the long delay but I've been really busy with starting Sixth Form. Honestly it's been really hard. But anyway, no fears I haven't discontinued this or any of my other stories so don't panic if you're waiting for updates. In fact this story, it's sequel, it's sequel's sequel and so on have all been finished and as far as writing goes I've completed the time line as much as I plan on doing. However posting will happen eventually. Also for note this is definitely not my best piece of writing and as it was written and completed well over a year and a half ago I have better stories, but this one snot changing, mostly cos I'm lazy and can't be bothered. But please don't let that stop you from reviewing!

"I said no Tonks, I don't want to risk it, not yet anyway," Remus said severely, he was frowning at Tonks who was sitting on one of the chairs in his room, it was the full moon and she was refusing to leave.

"But you've had the potion so there's no danger," Tonks replied stubbornly. Remus sighed.

"Yes but we don't know if it will work right, Snape made it for me previously and he's gone, Slughorn is good but he's never made Wolfsbane before and we aren't sure that nothing will go wrong," Remus replied he was getting annoyed now.

"All the more reasons to stay in case it does go wrong, Remus don't you trust me?" she asked looking hurt, but Remus wasn't going to fall for it.

"I trust you Tonks; it's me who I don't trust, I would never forgive myself if I gave you my curse, you'd lose your job, your life, everything," Remus replied, "You promised me when we first started to go out that you would leave on a full moon if I asked, and I'm asking now," his voice raised slightly.

"Fine! Whatever! Why should I care if the man I love gets hurt because of some mucked up potion," she said starting to cry, her voice was very loud now, Remus winced.

"Don't do this Tonks, I love you too that's why I want to make sure your safe," he said but she ignored him.

"I'm not leaving and you can't make me," she said offhandedly, Remus felt himself start to change and looked to the window the moon was starting to rise. He froze, "Remus?" Tonks looked at him and saw him staring at the rising moon, "Uh-oh, Remus?" she asked carefully he was starting to change now, thick coarse fur started to cover him, it wasn't right, Tonks had seen him transform under the potion before and this wasn't right. She backed up to the door as Remus transformed, he wasn't the harmless wolf he would be if the potion had worked. He turned to her, eyes a horrible yellow. Tonks screamed and disapparated to the Burrow where Remus had arranged for her to stay that night.

"Tonks are you okay?" Arthur Weasley asked as he looked up from his meal as she appeared shaking Tonks went to sit down but the chair fell when she tried to pull it out from under the table. Molly came up behind her and picked it up for her.

"Potion didn't work," was all she could say and the Weasleys looked at her anxiously, they looked her over for bites, "he didn't get me, I apparated out to fast, but not before he scared me half to death,"

"This is what he was afraid of; he told me when he was asking if you could come over here tonight. Every woman he's ever gone out with freaked out when they saw him transform, they never lasted longer than a full moon," Molly said and Tonks looked at her, she had started to cry now.

"I'm just scared, I'll be okay, I'm not going to break up with him just for that. Although I may listen to him when he tells me to leave. I'm okay really," Tonks said trying to reassure them. Molly waved her wand and summoned a cup of hot chocolate from the side and handed it to her.

"I just hope he doesn't go noble again and try to break it off because of what might have happened," Arthur said as he ate and all three fell silent.
