Still not owning Harry Potter

A/N: Important – Do Not Skip Over – I am planning to change the rating on this story from T to M... it's not this chapter, and won't be the next but it is coming.

Week 48

My New House

By Monday morning, Remus was in the kitchen making muffins, while I was getting dressed. Remus was planning to get everything moved to his parents place during the day, while I was at work.

Later that day, when I got home to my apartment, Remus had packed up everything but a pair of pyjamas, a toothbrush, some shampoo and some of my work cloths.

"Hello my love." Remus called out.

"Hello good knight." I called back, as I walked into the room where he was sitting.

I walked over and I straddled him, leaned down and kissed him. He tasted good, like he always did; he always tasted like peppermint and chocolate.

"How was your day?" Remus asked me, as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"It was alright; actually it was slightly boring. There's never anything interesting to do. I'm stuck in behind my desk, filling out reports, and most times it makes me feel like I'm lying; because I know what's out there and what's going on. How was your day?" I rambled

"Good, we're all ready to move these boxes to my parents' house and some day you have off we can take the rest of this stuff up and unpack there." Remus answered.

"That reminds me, I have Thursday and Friday off, we can go then." I told Remus.

"How did you get those two days off?" Remus asked

"I am an appointment at St. Mungo's Hospital on Thursday morning. Don't worry; it's just a check up." I told him as I put my hand on his chest.

"For two days?!" Remus questioned

"Two days is just the precaution." I answered sweetly.

"A precaution for what?" Remus asked

"The last time I went for a check up, the doctor put me on bed rest, because I looked a little green; but in my defence, I was only trying to entertain the child in the bed next to me." I explained as Remus smiled and began laughing, soon I began laughing as well.

"Come on, let's get something to eat." Remus suggested as he moved his hands from my waist.

"Okay, that's a great idea." I replied as we got up and left our apartment and went around the corner to the muggle takeout pizza place.

After we got our pizza, we went back to the apartment and began to talk about decorating our new house. Soon we found ourselves very tired, so we went to bed.

Tuesday came and went as did Wednesday, yet once Thursday began, the possibilities were endless.

In the morning, I got up and ready to visit the doctor at St. Mungo's Hospital for my check up, prescribed by the ministry yearly. Once I got there, I tried to contain myself and not use my metamorphmagus abilities to entertain small children, which is quite hard to do actually. My appointment went quickly and without any complication, so I apparated to my apartment to help Remus finish packing and moving. With both of us working together, it didn't take long to fully move out of my apartment and into our new house in Ayr. With the last of the boxes in Ayr, I went back to my apartment one last time; to see if I forgot anything and to return my keys back to the landlord.

By the time, everything was moved it was 3:30 in the afternoon, and we decided that we might as well start unpacking boxes. Remus started with the upstairs and the bedrooms and I took the kitchen and most of the main level; we both were cleaning as we went. When 7 o'clock came we were exhausted, yet we did get most of the things unpacked. Remus and I both decided that we needed something to eat, then we could finish tackling together, so we could talk along the way. We started with the living room and worked our way downstairs into the basement. Our cleaning and unpacking finally ended at 11:30 pm, and we both went to bed, because neither one of us wanted to do anything else.

When Friday morning came, Remus and I woke up early, but we decided to roll over and went back to sleep; by noon, Remus and I decided that we really didn't need to do anything today, so we spent the better part of the day talking in bed. It was just felt so natural that we were there, together. By Saturday, Remus wanted to remind me that our mission was coming upon us, as well as Christmas. Everything was moving so fast now. We spent most of Saturday talking about nothing and everything. I have never been with someone that this has happened to before. It was amazing that we could be so much in love with each other. That is all we did all day long. In hindsight, it was a very eventful week.

Week 49

Meetings with Dumbledore

Bright and early Monday morning there was an owl that banged on our window of our bedroom. I rolled out of bed and let him in. I didn't realize how warm it was inside our bed beside Remus. The owl flew in and landed on the chair beside the bureau. I walked over to it and took the letter gave the owl some birdseed and crawled back into bed. I open the letter and began to read it to Remus.

Dear Remus and Nymphadora

I trust that you both are enjoying your new house. I would like to invite you both for tea in my office at Hogwarts on Wednesday evening at 7 pm to go over your arrangements for next week.

Sincerely

Albus Dumbledore

"I would love to know how he knows everything." I said to Remus.

"He's just that type of person." He replied

"I don't want to go to work. I want to stay here with you." I told him

"I want you to stay here too. But you can't, you have to go to work, and I have to go bother Sirius." Remus explained to me.

"Alright. I guess I should get ready now." I told him.

I eventually got up and wrote back to Dumbledore telling him that we would gladly be there gave the note to the owl and then I began getting ready for work. When I had finished getting ready, Remus had already made it downstairs and beginning breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and kissed him as he handed me a cup of coffee. I took it and to a sip as Remus' hands remained on my waist.

"I could get used to this." I mumbled as Remus kissed my neck.

"You should get used to this." Remus answered.

Soon breakfast was done, I kissed Remus again and left for work. Our mornings were always like this for the rest of the week, and our evenings were spent at Grimmauld place exchanging stories with Sirius, Molly and Arthur along with the occasional Order member.

On Wednesday, we broke from our habit and went to Dumbledore's office at 7 pm like he requested. He was already there and our tea was being steeped.

"Ah, I'm glad you both could make it." Dumbledore answered.

"We wouldn't miss it." I replied

"I see you both still haven't attended to everything yet." Dumbledore told us.

"Almost, professor, it's harder and more complicated to attend to the last one." Remus told him

"I understand Remus. I do. Now for the reason I have asked you here for. Please, help yourselves to the tea. I wanted to talk to you both about, I would like the both of you to go to the southern coast of Ireland, some of my friends have said that there have been a large number of werewolf sightings there the last couple of months. Some may be gathering there. If you run into Greyback while you're there, you both will be in grave trouble." Dumbledore explained.

"I understand" Remus and I both said at the same time.

We had asked some more questions, we begin at the beginning of next week, and it is a weeklong mission. We were also told that there would be a meeting on Friday. When we left Dumbledore's office, Remus gently grabbed my arm and said:

"We need to talk Nymphadora."

"Ya, we do. " I agreed.

So we apparated back to our house and we sat at the kitchen table. We talked about what type of future we had together and we dealt with everything that I needed to tell Remus; however, Remus still had one more thing on his mind that he did not want to bring up because he wanted to bring it up later. Our future together looked both hopeful and bleak. Remus and I both acknowledged that he would never hold down a stable job and that I would always have to work. If we were to have children, the child may or may not have my metamorphagus gene and no one really knows about a werewolf parent, although I told Remus that we could always research it just to make sure, before we have children. Me having children was a big deal for Remus; he really wants to have several children. I told him that we would see after I have one. Deep down, I guess I want more than one as well.

Thursday came and went and Friday was just as boring as the day before. Remus has become more protective of me. He has been telling me that I smell really nice, even better than before. He actually has me a little concerned. However Remus assures me that it's just his wolf senses and that he is more willing to vocalize things seeing as it has been almost a year together.

Friday night we went to Grimmauld place for the meeting and it was packed with people. I had not seen this place so busy in my life. Eventually, Dumbledore came in and began the meeting.

"The reason I have called you here is to give each of you a mission and I believe that each of you have gained very useful knowledge over the past few months..." Dumbledore began to talk.

I zoned out during the meeting only half-listening. I had heard Remus say that he and I were going on a mission; but mostly I remember him holding my hand during the meeting. Through the whole meeting. This was new for him... are we going public?? It felt good being this close to him all the time when we were together. When the meeting was done everyone went to separate corners of the house to discuss the contents of the meeting yet Remus and I stayed where we were, just holding hands. Eventually, Sirius walked by and sat down across from us.

"You both need to be careful. I don't know what I'd do without either of you." Sirius began

"You're not allowed to do anything stupid while we are away, and you've got yourself a deal." Remus bargained.

"Alright; you've got a deal." Sirius answered, "What are the both of you doing this weekend?"

"Nothing, I don't think." Remus answered

"Christmas shopping." I answered

"Get me something nice while you're at it." Sirius said as he smirked.

"Is Molly still here?" I asked Sirius

"Ya, she's in the kitchen." Sirius answered

"Thanks." I replied as I got up and went that way, however, Remus forgot to let go of my hand, or maybe it was me who forgot, anyway, I ended up standing there my hand locked with Remus and in a very intense stare. Just then, Dumbledore walked by and proceeded to watch the display.

"Children, this is not the time nor the place for that." Dumbledore said as he turned and walked away.

Sirius began to laugh and Remus let go of my hand.

"Do you ever get the impression that he knows just way to much?" I asked

"All the time." Remus and Sirius answered, and with that, I walked into the kitchen to find Molly.

Soon it began to get late, so Remus and I decided to go home, so I put my arms tightly around his neck and Remus put his arms around my waist and he apparated us home. When we got there, we stood wrapped in each other's arms.

"I want to stay like this forever." I told Remus

"I would love it if we could." He said as he kissed along my jaw. It felt too good. Then after a few moments, he stopped and pushed himself away.

"What did you want for Christmas Remus?" I asked

"You." He answered

"You already have me... seriously, what do you want for Christmas?" I asked

"Nothing, I already have everything I want." He said.

I walked over to where Remus was standing and kissed him. On Saturday, Remus went to Grimmauld place to spend some time with Sirius while I went Christmas shopping for Remus , Sirius and my parents. I decided that I would give Sirius a practical joke book where Remus was spending so much time with him. For my parents I picked them up some socks, and cute mitten along with some mugs. Now Remus would be harder to shop for. I had no idea what to get him, and his wish list is quite short. What to get someone when they only want you? I sat down on a bench in Diagon Ally and watched people walk by me. Hagrid came by and stopped in front of me and then sat down beside me.

" Hello Tonks. Fancy meeting you here." Hagrid said.

"Hello Hagrid. How are you?" I asked.

"Oh, I've been better." Hagrid replied.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Sure, Tonks ." Hagrid answered.

"What do you think Remus would like for Christmas?" I asked him.

"Well, that's a hard one Tonks. Did ya ask him?" Hagrid suggested.

"That's the thing Hagrid, I did ask him and all he said was that he wanted me. So I don't know what I am suppose to get him for Christmas." I rambled.

"Did you think that maybe you could make him something or have a romantic dinner with him for Christmas?" Hagrid recommended

"Hagrid! That's an amazing idea, thank you so much." I was so excited, that was a great idea... now I just have to remember it. I gave Hagrid a hug and wished him a Merry Christmas.

After running into Hagrid, I decided that I would go back to the bookstore and invest in a fact book, because I know how much Remus likes to read. I was also thinking about investing in a huge box of chocolates but I thought that that was a little excessive. When I was finished in Diagon Ally I ran into some friends, so we went to a cafe in the Ally and got caught up. By mid afternoon I was so tired that I went home, hid the gifts and then I took a nap.

When I woke up from my nap it was already quite late, there was a not beside my pillow that said:

I'm in the library, downstairs.

Now my first thought was: Did I lock the door? The answer was of course yes, second thought was Remus. I got up out of the bed and wondered down stairs to find Remus. He was sitting on this old comfortable looking chair reading a book.

"Hey." I said leaning on the door casing.

"Hey." He answered looking up from the book.

"Are you feeling okay?" Remus asked as he studied my face.

"No..." I began, and before I knew it tears were coming down my face, and Remus was by my side enfolding me in his strong arms. "I'm just so scared." I mumble into his shoulder.

"Me to Nymph, me to." Remus encourages as he rubs my back.

"I'm scared all the time. I'm scared that I will lose you, to lose everyone that I love. I want this feeling to go away Remus... I never used to be this scared." I said as I held on to Remus.

"I promise, I'm not going on any missions without you ever again. You are my strength; you are all I will ever need." Remus reassured me.

"Just promise you won't let go. I may fall without you. You are my strength as well... I love you." I murmured into his shoulder again before he picked me up and carried me over to the loveseat in the library, wrapped his arm around me and began to read to me.

Thanks for all the reviews.......please don't forget to review.......
