Hey, thanks again to those who gave a review on my last chapter! It really helps with the feedback stuff.
I don't own Harry Potter. L

This week had gone by quickly. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the homework and classes that I didn't get to spend nearly as much time as I wished with the boys. It was finally Friday and I was ready to chill. The boys were huddled around a table that night whispering about something. I walked over to investigate.
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked
"Should we tell her?" Asked James.
"Of course, Tonks is our best friend." Remus answered forcefully.
"Ok, keep your head on! Ok, so what we were talking about is, animagi." Explained James.
"What about it?"
"We were all thinking about becoming animagi." Sirius said shortly.
"Seriously? But that can take years!" I exclaimed.
"I know, that's why we are starting early so that we can become it whilst still at school." Remus said.
"And we are going to work on it during the holidays, we have already read everything about it and all we need to do is the practical part which is brew a specific potion to see what your animal would be and then hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth for an entire month, whilst trying to morph into the animal the potion showed you. Should be easy." Said James.
I went up to bed a couple of hours later, with my mind buzzing from the conversation tonight. I tried to calm my mind by reading one of my favourite books, The Tales of Beedle the Bard. I read the book for ten minutes until I was too tired to go on and I fell into a deep sleep.
I was in an empty common room sitting on one of the couches. Remus walked over and sits down next to me. I suddenly get nervous because, I mean, I really like him, and he starts to talk.
"So, Tonks, I have been meaning to tell you this for a while and I finally have the courage to tell you. I really like you Tonks and I was wondering if you liked me too?" He said this all very quickly.
"Yes, I like you too, but why do you like me? I mean, I'm weird and odd and not the least bit pretty and I'm hardly-"Remus stopped me with a kiss. It was amazing, he was cradling my face and I had my arms around his neck and just as he was pushing some hair out of my face…
"TONKS! GET UP, WE WANT TO GO TO BREAKFAST, BECAUSE, WE WANT TO EAT!" Someone screeched at my door.
No way! I was having the best dream ever and then I got woken up. Urgh, why now, did Sirius have to eat, why?
"I'll be ready shortly!" I said.
"Who is making all that racket?" Lily was waking up now too. "Is someone dead?"
"No, Lily, it's fine, just Sirius being a git. The usual."
I went to have a shower and got dressed into some jeans and a black, cosy sweater. I went down the stairs to the common room and saw James, Remus and Sirius waiting impatiently for me.
"Ready?" I asked once I reached them.
"You took long enough, jeez." Sirius replied.
"Well, I was doing it to annoy you, as you woke me up from a rather lovely dream." I replied.
"What happened in this said 'lovely dream'?" Remus asked politely.
"Well, I was in the common room and you arrived and-"I suddenly realised what I was saying and started bushing furiously.
"What happened next?" Sirius asked with an evil smirk on his face.
"Oh, nothing important."
"Sure…"
We went down to the great hall for breakfast, and the whole time Remus stared at me curiously. Uh oh, I messed up big time. We arrived and sat down at the Gryffindor table and began eating. Today's breakfast was pretty uneventful. We finished half an hour later and headed outside to hang out. We sat at the usual tree next to the lake. We began chatting about animagi and what animal we wanted to become. I personally wanted to become a wolf, as they were loyal creatures to their friends, but shyed away sometimes. We were out there for a couple of hours before it got bit too cold to sit outside for much longer, as it was coming up close to November, it was only October but you could feel the cold setting in.
"So, shall we head to lunch?" Sirius was standing up and stretching, waiting for us.
"Yeah, sure." James said.
We headed to the Great hall for the second time today, all of us hungry. I, for one was hoping for a beef pie. We had lunch and went to the library trying to finish some homework, when on the way, we bumped into someone.
"Watch it!" An ugly voice came. It was Lucius Malfoy, a boy in his final year at Hogwarts. "I have you know, I don't want my robes tarnished with dirty half-blooded creatures." It was clear he was talking about me. Remus looked about ready to murder him.
"Remus, it doesn't matter, just leave it." I whispered urgently to him. I didn't want him getting into a fight with a boy five years older than us. "Let's go."
We were too worked up to work on much in the library, James and Sirius were angry, but nothing compared to Remus, he was livid. It was quite sweet watching him get all defensive for me. But I knew it would never be the way I wanted it to be. My luck just never worked out the way I would like.

It was leading up to Halloween, one of my favourite holidays as there were sweets included. I especially loved the feast. So when I woke up on the Friday, I was quite excited to stuff my face. I know that I still had to put up with classes, but at the end of the day, it was all worth it. In the morning I had double potions with Ravenclaw, and then Charms, where Professor Flitwick complemented me on my engorgement charm. Next up, after lunch, we had Defence against the Dark Arts. All in all, it was a pretty boring day. The boys and I dropped off our bags at the common room and hung around for an hour before the feast. I was really excited for the feast and when we got there, my excitement grew after seeing all of the decorations Hargid put in. He went all out this year with twelve giant carved pumpkins and real bats hanging around as well as nearly every piece of furniture covered in spider webs. We sat down and Dumbledore made his small speech and then we tucked in. I went straight for the chicken which was glazed in soy and honey. But there was also sausage, pie, lamb chops, burgers, chips and vegies. There was pumpkin juice, water and fruit juice. I ate till my stomach nearly burst. But of course, there was still dessert to come. It did, and I probably exploded without realising, there was the usual, pumpkin pie, treacle tart, apple pie, and all the sweets you could imagine; Chocolate frogs, Bertie Botts every flavoured beans, liquorice wands, custard creams, fizzing whizzbees, chunks of nougat and pink shimmery block of coconut ice. The house elves outdid themselves this year! With everyone really full we went to bed, I was surprised I could even move, let alone walk up lots of staircases. I said goodnight to the boys and flopped in bed without getting undressed, so sleepy and full. It was a great feast.
