I don't own Harry Potter

Week 4

"The unexpected encounter"

I have butterflies...

Molly Weasley had asked me to run over to Grimmauld place, to see how the headquarters was coming along and to make sure everything was alright there. As a condition I had to spend an owl to Molly to tell her how it was going. And you'll never believe who I saw there! Remus! Butterflies found my stomach. Oh, no...Here's how it happened:

I apparated to the front steps of the Grimmauld Place only to find that the door had been unlocked; so I let myself in. It looked surprisingly better than last week, when we had a meeting. As I walked into the house and down the narrow hallway I heard footsteps behind me in the distance, I figured it was just Keatcher, roaming around, cleaning the house until I heard him speak.

"Are you looking for something?" Remus asked

"No, thank you. Molly sent me over to see if everything was okay here...So I guess, what I'm asking now is, is everything okay here?" I asked stupidly

"Nymphadora,"

"Don't call me Nymphadora"

"Sorry, Tonks, Everything's fine here...you said Molly sent you?" Remus asked.

"Ya, she said she wanted to see how everything was going" I trailed off.

I wonder if he wants to go for coffee...I wondered.

"She shouldn't have sent you tonight...did she send you tonight?" Remus asked as if he were under a lot of stress.

"well, no, not tonight, but she did ask me to visit you on Monday, but where I'm going out of town, on Monday morning fairly early and won't be home till Thursday, I figured that I should come to the house to see what's happening...Shit...today's a full moon isn't it?" I came to a harsh realization.

Remus was sitting at the table all calm and collected where as the moon would be up in about 15 minutes and no more Remus...hello werewolf...

"You know I'm a werewolf?" Remus asked.

"Ya...I think Sirius told me a while back..." I replied...mentally kicking myself for coming tonight.

"Tonight is a full moon and although I did take a potion, and am safe, I'd rather you not stayed" Remus warned me...He's so caring about other people like that.

"Will you be okay?" I asked with extreme concern, seeing as I've never had a werewolf as a friend before.

"Yes, I'll be okay. You go on home Nympha...Tonks. "Remus once again took his hands and put them on my arms then proceeded to rub my arms in a concerning way. As he let go of my shoulders, I started to speak...

"Remus" It felt kinda good to say his name... "After this whole transformation thing is done, would you like to go out for some coffee? Please" I asked, hoping that he would say yes to it.

"You don't give up that easily do you?" Remus said totally dodging my question.

"No I don't...now please answer the question before the moon comes up...Please just a cup of coffee." I pleaded.

"Alright fine, one cup of coffee, next Friday...Sounds good. Now please leave." Remus answered.

"See you next Friday here" I said as I skipped out of the house tripping on everything on the way out, like I always do. As I turned around to look at the house I saw a wolf watching me from the window...This is going to be interesting.

Week 5

Coffee counts as a DATE!!

So, this week has been fairly slow moving considering I had a coffee date with Remus last night, and oh how wonderful it was to have coffee with him. So although it was only about 45 minutes long it was still pretty good. Here's how it happened:

I Apparated onto the front steps of Grimmauld Place and went in to the house. Remus had just flown down the stairs and said he would be right there, and that he would be right back. So I showed myself to the living room and waited for his return. He returned several minutes later with an envelope addressed to me. Remus had said that he got on as well and that I would be pleased to know who it was from, only I wasn't allowed to open it, because Remus took my wrist and pulled me to my feet and he dragged me out the door.

We went to a cute little coffee shop around the corner and sat in a quiet corner so we could talk more privately. I started with a question...

"You may get this a lot when you first meet people...but...does it hurt turning into a 'werewolf'" I asked whispering the last part, as if it were some kind of crime...wait a minute...it was.

"No, not really, not anymore... it's more scary...it's like loosing control of one form and not being able to control the other form. When I was little I got bit, and the transformations were extremely painful and hard to stand, but now it's more of a dull pain... Now I guess it's my turn...Your cousin Sirius tells me you a metamorphmagus, I've never in my life ever met one... tell me about them. "Remus was now intrigued.

"Well, I can change my hair color...to any color...see." I then changed my violent pink hair to blond... "And my eye color" I changed them from dark to bright blue... "I can change any part of my appearance at will and I can hide any where. I always have constant control of my appearance."I informed Remus.

"Total control of that power...even when you're sleeping?" Remus asked devilishly.

"Yes even when I'm sleeping...at least I think. I've never given anybody the okay to watch me sleep before... but if I ever had that question cross my mind I'll definitely give you a call. Speaking of questions you just lost one." I retorted.

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did...my turn. Sirius told me that you were part of the marauder's...some of those pranks are still used at Hogwarts now...Did you help make the marauder's map?"I asked extremely interested in the object that has been in the hearts and mind of every one including Fred and George who have made their living off it.

"Yes... I was the one who had made the enchantment upon the paper so that no one could use it...then we often went looking for the different passage ways to get into and out of the castle. It was a lot of fun and it was amazingly fun. My turn finally... before I ask my question...turn back to your original self your making me feel uneasy...What do you really look like?" Remus asked.

"Well...Here I go are you ready for this...promise me that you're not going to scream or do anything weird...okay?"I asked him...He swallowed hard and nodded wondering what he got himself into.

As I changed back to my old self, I suddenly realized why I had changed my appearance to being with. I had straight black hair (The Black Family's distinction) I had green eyes which between that and the straightness of my hair separated me from Bellatrix my mother's sister of whom I loathed.

"Oh my..."Remus trailed off.

"Ya...that's why I change my appearance...just tell me when you want me to turn back."

"Okay...change back...please...much better. Okay my turn...you know what ...I think I should go now...it's getting late.We'll continue this conversation next week. How does saterday at 8:00 sound to you?" Remus asked somewhat disoriented.

"It sounds good remus." I told him.

"May I walk you home?" Remus asked.

"Of course Remus...Let's go."I said

After a long silence I decided to ask...

"Did I scare you when I changed to my original face?"

"No...well yes. For a moment you looked like Bellatrix, and that's frightening, but it wasn't until I saw into your kind eyes that I realized that it was you and that you are much better than she is in a lot of ways." Remus said very bashfully

Don't stop talking remus...We can keep walking past my apartment...entered my thoughts again.

"Okay, this is it...Thank yyou remus...I would ask you to come in, but it's quiet messy, so...maybe you could come in next week when we have coffee." I said only to get a corious look back from Remus.

"I wasn't thinking of coffee for next week...it'll be something...it'll have something to do with chocolate, and yes maybe next week I'll come in." Remus added on.

Stupid silence...silence.

"Well" I said

"Well" He said.

Then I kissed him, quickly on the check...I was aiming for his lips, when i got nervous, and went for the check.

"Night see you next week" I said extremely fast as i opened the door ran into the apartment and slamed the door shut...damn it.

That's how the night went. He stayed out side of my door for several seconds stunned...then left...the next day...which would be a Saturday, he sent me a letter by owl. He wanted to know if I had a good time last night which I did, but it could have been better. Well, I guess I can always wait until next week...This is going to be fun!
