Mantra: I do NOT own Harry Potter.

A/N: I'm not going to be writing out the whole scene with Harry at the house, it's Tonks' point of view, so most of the info that's given in this scene will be left out (i.e.: people's descriptions, what they sound like, what their wearing). Sorry it's taking me so long to update...I've been slightly busier than usual.

Please review... Thanks!

Week 32

The Capture of Harry Potter

All week I looked forward at going to the Dursley's house to get Harry back and take him to Sirius where he always belonged from day one. Hestia sent the Dursley's a letter by muggle mail, to insure that the Dursley's were out of the house when we get Harry. So, when Wednesday came around and we had a meeting with Dumbledore to discuss what we were to do. We were told that we were to fly on brooms to the Dursley's house at the cover of night; once we got there we were to send one flare, after that point we were suppose to wait for about 15 minutes until Dumbledore sends 2 flares to tell the group that it is safe for us to bring Harry home. Before we left, I had a talk with Remus, to warn him, that if he introduces us all to Harry, that he is to call me Tonks, because we cannot let on that we are a couple, for if you – know – who, ever found out, he would make it a point to see us both killed. So, then Dumbledore sent us off and it took us about 20 minutes to reach the Dursley's house. When we arrived we made sure the coast was clear and we crossed the road and entered the house from the back door. Remus sent up the flare to signal Dumbledore. Moody opened the door and was the first person who went into the house to make sure it was all clear. Then the rest of the group went into the house while I followed Remus somewhat close. When I looked around the kitchen and I noticed that there was a nice china plate on the counter, so I picked it up to get a better look at it and it somehow slipped from my hands.

"Oops" I squeaked

"Nymph. Please be careful" Remus whispered lovingly

"Tonks! What are you doing? Be more quite." Moody growled

"Sorry" I whispered to everyone.

"These muggle are unusually neat." I commented, unable to control myself by now.

Harry, being curious about the noise, I suppose, he came and found us still in the kitchen looking around. He stared in disbelief.

"Professor Moody?" He stumbled.

"I never got to teach you, now did I? Mr. Potter." Moody retorted. Oh Moody I thought.

After Harry looked us all over, he found Remus, and appeared happy to see him. Remus introduced everyone in the party and explained why we volunteered for this task. He also filled Harry in; about why we were here and that he should go up stairs and pack his cloths. I went with Harry to make sure he didn't forget anything.

When Harry and I went up stairs, I began to change my hair colour. Harry became curious about it, so I explained my metamorphmagus powers and he became fascinated by it. Then I began to use my wand to pack everything into his suitcase and still using my wand made the suitcase levitate down the stairs into the front living room. By now our 15 minutes were almost up. Mad-Eye explained to Harry that we were going to be flying to a secret place, were we could explain more to him. A blast of red Fireworks came rumbling into the sky, followed by another. We all ran out and mounted our brooms; we fell into place making sure Harry was in the middle of the ball we had formed.

When we got to headquarters, Mad-Eye gave Harry a piece of parchment and told him to memorize it. It said 'The Headquarters of The Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London.'. When we entered into the house the meeting had already started and molly was waiting for us to show harry up stairs and we all went to the meeting. The meeting was almost over; we told Dumbledore that rescuing Harry had been a success and that he was up stairs. For the remaining part of the meeting Snape gave his report on what was happenings on the Voldemort front were he was our resident double agent.

After the meeting Remus and I were going to the kitchen when I tripped over the curtains of Sirius' mother's portrait, and she began to scream and wail. At her screaming the kids came running down stairs to see what happened and to their great disappointment, it was all over when they got there. During dinner Sirius and Remus looked so happy talking to Harry and having him under a roof where they knew that he would get the love he needed.

When dinner was done and people were leaving Remus and I made the decision that we would stay in our usual room at Grimmauld place because it would not be safe to leave Sirius here in his current state; his current state consisting of bouncing off the walls that Harry was living with him.

The week went extraordinarily fast. By Saturday, Remus wanted to do something with me, but didn't know what, so I explored the idea of going to see a movie. Well, apparently Fred and George heard me mention it to Remus, so they mentioned it to Ron, who mentioned it to Hermione, who mentioned it to Ginny who then proceeded to mention it to Harry; so needless to say, we all went to go see a muggle movie on Saturday night, just the 8 of us, which was suppose to be a romantic movie for 2. It was quite late when we made it back to Grimmauld Place, so we got all 6 kids into the house and locked the door, before Remus and I apparated into my apartment living room.

All week when we were at Grimmauld place we did not have any contact with each other because no one is to know that we are going out, so tonight Remus felt the need to kiss me passionately for several (what felt like minutes but were really) hours.

So that was my exciting week in my life. PS. Nothing happened Saturday night that would end have any lasting consequences.

Week 33

A Fun Week

What happened this week? Well it's the first full week of August, so Molly made us do something call "it's almost fall, so let's do some more cleaning". On Monday we held a party for Harry because we had missed his birthday. He got some really cool things like a sweater from Molly that she had knitted. I have bets on that he's going to get one just like it at Christmas. The party was amazing. On Tuesday, Remus 

and I went for coffee at the little coffee shop near Grimmauld Place. Grimmauld Place was just close enough to visit, but far enough away that nobody would see us.

When we sat together at a coffee shop, if felt nice to hold his hand in public and to look into his eyes, to show the world that we were truly in love; even if there was a war brewing, at this point in time, at the coffee shop, nothing else seemed to matter. We sat for almost an hour in silence, then Remus to get that look, as if he wanted to ask something.

"Nymph, may I ask you something?" Remus started out.

"Sure, what is it?" I asked, moving my hand from his and putting it on his face.

"Do you REALLY love me? I know that we have been through this before, but before I do anything stupid. Do you love me though I am poor, much older than you and am a hunted like some animal?" Remus asked as he began to look away from my face. I put my hands on either side of his face and looked deep into his grey eyes. I got up from my chair and went by Remus, sat on his knee and kissed him so very passionately so several minutes, than pulled away, and looked into his grey eyes again.

"I love you, like I have never loved anyone else before in my life, and even though you feel like you are too poor and too old, you are just perfect for me. And I want you to be with me for the rest of my life, no matter how many years that may be." I assured him, and leaned in for another kiss. We stayed like that for only a couple minutes, until we got up to leave. We went back to my apartment where there was an owl from Shacklebolt, telling me that I was due back at work by next Monday, in case I forgot and he also sent over some reports that needed to be done for the following Monday. So for the afternoon, Remus watched me get caught up on the work that I kind of forgot to do. However, when night came around, Remus and I went to Grimmauld Place to have some fun with Sirius.

By Wednesday Harry went to his trail with Arthur Weasley, who was only allowed to wait outside the doors of the trail room. When Harry came back to Grimmauld Place, everyone who was close to Harry were waiting for his return to hear the verdict; and the verdict was that Harry to go back to Hogwarts in 3 weeks, along with the rest of his friends. Molly insisted that we have a party for Harry being found not guilty of all charges and that he did in fact use magic to defend himself as well as a muggle; therefore he was a hero in Molly's eyes than an underage wizard who did whatever he pleased. When Remus and I got back to my apartment he informed me that he would be staying at Grimmauld Place with Sirius for a 

while, just for the simple reason that I will be going back to work and we won't be able to spend as much time together as we have had in the past couple weeks. It made sense; I would be away more than I would be home.

Thursday and Friday went so slowly with all the work I had to catch up on. By Friday night, Remus was going star crazy so we decided to go to for a walk which ended up taking us to the square near Grimmauld place, so we decided to sit on a bench in the middle of the square.

"I really enjoyed living with you these last few weeks. Thank you Nymphadora, for everything." Remus started. I put my finger to his mouth and then started kissing his lips.

"It was my pleasure. Believe me. These have been the best few weeks of my life." I replied. Remus sat there for several moments, than he had this sly look on his face.

"May I ask you something?" Remus question cautiously.

"Sure. What is it?" I answered.

"Would you mind terribly if I continued to stay at your house when I turn into a werewolf? I mean, I don't mind that Sirius is around because he turns into a dog when I turn to a wolf, but ...it...it would be easier on me if I could see your sweet face when I transform. I don't know what it is. But to see your face makes me feel like I am not such a monster." Remus rambled his question.

"Remus, I never mind staying with you when you transform into a wolf; its part of you. When you do turn, you can stay at my apartment as long as you want. I love you staying. And, I don't see a monster in your eyes, not even when you're a wolf. Your eyes are always kind and playful when you look at me Remus. You are my love, how can I refuse you?" I reassured him.

"I love you my Nymph." he said as he leaned in and gave a passionate kiss.

After sitting for several minutes in silence, basking in the love between us, Remus and I decided to go see what the trouble makers were doing to Grimmauld place in our absence. When we walked to the front door, everyone stared at us.

"What?" I asked.

"You two arrived together." Sirius said stating the obvious, with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Remus sent me an owl about this really cool book he found in Diagon Ally, but when we got there everything was closed." I explained.

"Sure it was." Sirius grumbled, and with that I shot Sirius a glance that could shatter glass.

Remus took a seat beside Sirius as I walked into the kitchen and found Molly, Minerva and Dumbledore sitting at the table talking about something.

"Hi." I said to the three of them." I'll leave now."

"Don't leave Nymphadora. We were just talking about you. We need you to do something. Something important." Dumbledore stated.

"Do you really think it to be wise Dumbledore? It's so dangerous." Molly began.

"And Remus has just begun to open up to her." Minerva interjected.

"She can handle it." Dumbledore relied. And whatever Dumbledore concluded it was law.

Handle what? What is he going to send me on? I wondered.

"Nymphadora, on Monday, Shacklebolt will send you on a week long exercise; which involved you to use your metamorphmagus powers to do it. I need you to spy on everything that is going on there. Do you understand?" Dumbledore asked me.

"Yes." I answered even though I am slightly more confused about what he was saying, but never the less I could do what I was told and I did not ask any questions. I then walked closer to the table and found a seat and sat down to talk.

"How is Remus doing, Nymphadora?" Dumbledore prompted.

"He's doing fine. We had a nice long talk before we came over so, I think everything is going well." I answered.

"Good, Good." Dumbledore answered mindlessly.

I proceeded to sit at the table and listened to the gossip that Molly and Minerva talking about. It was really interesting, and it gave me time to think about next week's predicament: Remus turns into a werewolf on Friday... I wonder how long this mission will be. My thoughts took me away and before I knew it, I was sitting at the table alone. I stood up and walked into the living room where I saw Remus, Harry and Sirius, having an in-depth conversation about something. I waved and informed the room that I was leaving and that I hoped to see everyone next week, because I had to work during the day. The room bid me very fond farewells and then I proceeded to leave the house and apparate home to my lonely apartment. I wandered my apartment for an hour trying to find something to occupy my mind, when I heard an owl tap on my window. I walked over and opened the window and the owl flew over to my coffee table. It faced me and looked endearingly at me. It stuck out its leg and I took off the letter out of its beck. The letter read:

My Dearest Nymphadora

Because we cannot show affection when others are around I could not go home with you, so I guess I will be staying here again. I won't be going back to my apartment anytime soon; maybe by the end of September I will be back. But until then I will be at Headquarters. Dumbledore has me on a mission that I am not able to tell you, but this Friday I will be at your apartment door at 5. Please be there. You know why. I'm going to miss you dearly, my Nymph.

All my love

Remus

PS. I'll be at Headquarters all weekend and I'll be leaving on Monday morning.

After reading the letter I noticed that the owl was still there so I wrote Remus back a letter, it goes as follows:

Dear Remus

I still have a lot of work to catch up on, so I will probably work straight through the weekend. Maybe I'll be over to headquarters tomorrow night if I find time.

Love

Nymphadora

I gave the letter to the owl, and it flew away back to Remus. I then decided that I would go to bed and then get an early start at my work. For the rest of the weekend all I did was work to try to get caught up with what I was suppose to do on my weeks away from the office that I kinda didn't do...and that was my week ...how was yours?
