Chapter 13: The Blind Date

July 8th, 1995

Yesterday, I invited Remus to my house for lunch. We were just talking and catching up on our personal lives, when I said something that apparently upset Remus. He was so upset he began to choke on the coffee he was drinking.

"You did what?" Remus yelled when he had recovered.

"I set you up on a blind date." I repeated calmly.

"But, Sirius… why? You know what happened last time I had a girlfriend. It did not end well." Said Remus.

I sighed. "This girl is different, Remus. I know her personally. Her name is Nymphadora Tonks, but everyone calls her Tonks, and she knows you're a werewolf, yet she's willing to give you a chance. I think you should return the favor. It's about time you settled down and fell in love."

"You're one to talk." Remus snarled. "You're still single."

Remus had just hit a nerve. "For your information, my fiancée-to-be was killed by my cousin. I gave true love a chance. You should too."

Remus sighed. "Why did you do this to me, Sirius? I'm not good enough for any girl, no matter who she is. Who can love a werewolf? Well, maybe I won't even like her. Maybe she's not my type."

I grinned. "I wouldn't count on it."

July 11th, 1995

Earlier today, Remus stormed into my kitchen.

"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SHE WAS YOUR SECOND COUSIN!" he bellowed.

"Who are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"Nymphadora Tonks!" shouted Remus. "And that's not all! She's gorgeous, the most gorgeous woman I ever saw. After one date, I think I'm already in love with her! But she will never love me. There's no way a beautiful girl, who could have any man she wanted, would want a werewolf. Are you trying to destroy my heart, Sirius?" Remus's voice grew louder with every word. For the one of the first times in all the years that I have known him, I saw tears running down my friend's face.

"Remus, Tonks will never hurt you." I promised. "Trust me. I wouldn't have set you up if I thought she would. Now, would you please tell me about your date?"

Remus sighed. "I suppose so. But it didn't go too well."

Remus explained his date to me. It seemed like a prefect date to me, but Remus had other ideas. "Even if she did want to go out with me again, I'm too dangerous for her, and not nearly good enough." Remus said.

"Remus, you are not dangerous!" I argued. "I thought James and I convinced you of that in our second year. And of course you're good enough for Tonks! You'd make a great husband someday."

"I'm not so sure about that." Remus said shortly, and with that, he disapperated.

July 31th, 1995

Six days ago, an Order meeting was held here. Everyone came, and the Weasley's even brought their kids along. Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny were told not to say a word to you about the Order, at least not yet. It's nothing personal, we just to think it's not a good idea to alert you of the Order yet. I hope you'll understand.

Molly and Arthur never let Ron and Ginny sit in on Order meetings, and for a good reason. It's not a place for children. Even Fred and George are often excluded. None of them are happy about this, but it needs to be this way. Arthur and Molly still have a feeling Fred and George spy on the meetings. They are fantastic inventors, so they probably have a way to listen to every word the Order says.

Remus was quiet the entire day. Tonks was eager to talk to him, but Remus refused to make small talk with her. He was really making things awkward.

"What's the matter with Remus?" Tonks asked me when she managed to get me away from the group.

I shrugged. "I honestly have no idea, Tonks, but I'll look in to it." I promised.

Before I got a chance to talk to Remus, however, he claimed he was sick, and went home.

Four days later, I heard a soft knock on the front door. The Order members had left two days before, so I wasn't expecting anyone. When I opened the door, I found a tearful Tonks standing at my doorstep.

"Oh Sirius!" Tonks cried, and buried her head in my shoulder.

"Tonks, what's the matter?" I asked, alarmed.

"This!" she moaned mournfully. Tonks handed me a letter. Well, it wasn't really a letter, since it only had eight words on it. Eight words that seemed to break my second cousin's delicate heart.

Tonks,

We cannot be together. I'm sorry.

Remus.

Anger bubbled up inside of me. What had Remus done? "When did you get this?" I asked angrily.

"This morning," Tonks sniffled. "I sent him an owl yesterday asking him if he were feeling okay and when he wanted to go out again, and he sent me this. It wouldn't bother me, but… oh, Sirius, I think I'm in love. I know it's early, but I can tell. I want to continue loving Remus, but I don't want my heart to be broken."

Tonks was in love with Remus, and he was in love with her. How could I prove to Remus that Tonks loved him?

After comforting Tonks for a few minutes, I apperated to Remus's house and angrily knocked on the door. Remus opened the door immediately.

"Sirius?" Remus asked in surprise.

"What is the meaning of this?" I yelled angrily, showing him the letter.

Remus frowned. "Where did you get this?" He asked softly.

"Tonks showed up at my house about ten minutes ago, completely in tears. She showed me the letter, and told me she was in love with you Remus. You, Remus John Lupin, are in the process of breaking a woman's heart. And that woman just happens to be the only woman who's ever truly loved you. Why are you throwing away that love?"

"I didn't know." Remus whispered.

"Of course you didn't!" I shouted. "That's why you need to fix things." With that, I disapperated.

Remus has the power to keep Tonks's love. I just hope he follows through.

One more thing before I end this letter for the day: Happy fifteenth birthday, Harry.

August 7th, 1995

Dumbledore called an emergency meeting of the Order, which he scheduled for yesterday. We needed to discuss when we will bring you here to Number Twelve, and how to go about it. I purposely told both Tonks and Remus to come a half-hour early, in a last attempt to bring them together again. They didn't know they were early, so everything would hopefully work out.

Tonks arrived first. No sooner then she sat down at the table, Remus rushed in.

"Nymphadora, I have to talk to you." Remus said quickly, out of breath.

Tonks refused to make eye contact with Remus. "It's Tonks." She muttered. "What do you want, Remus?"

"I'm so sorry, Tonks. I was sure you wouldn't love me because… because of what I am. But I realize now that I love you. I've decided to risk my heart being broken, because I don't want to risk your heart being broken by me, and I don't know if I can live without you. But Tonks, I'm much too dangerous for you, and not nearly good enough. I hope you understand."

Tonks stared at him. It was like I wasn't even there. "Remus, you're perfect for me. You are good, and you're certainly not dangerous. I don't just love you; I'm in love with you. I don't care what you are. All that matters to me is who you are. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, Remus. I won't take anyone else."

And then, Tonks did what I least expected and stood up to kiss Remus on the lips. Remus was surprised too, but he kissed her back. When they pulled away, they stared at each other for a moment.

"You shouldn't have done that." Remus whispered. "I can't have you, and I don't want either of our hearts to be broken, especially yours."

Tonks rolled her eyes at him. "Weren't you listening at all? I needed to do that. We're soul mates, Remus. We belong together. And I will get you to marry me, it's just a matter of when."

I hope Tonks was right. Remus and Tonks were meant to be.

Author's note: This chapter is all over the place, but think of it as diary entries, except Sirius is writing to Harry, not a diary. Thanks for reading! :)
