Author's note: Sorry, that I posted this chapter later (in the day) than I planned! But I am still determined to post a chapter a day!

Chapter 15 The Date?

As soon as Remus and Tonks left Hen Toe Street, they arrived at a large grassy field and the first thing Remus had heard were hundreds of voices.

Tonks started walking towards the voices and said, "I hope it hasn't started yet."

"Where are we?" Lupin said as he tried to catch up to Tonks.

"Eaves Lends Park." Tonks said. As they reached the top of the hill, he saw the grassy field below was congested with hundreds of young witches and wizards sitting on the grass. "There having a concert tonight. There's going to be The Salt Bees, The Charm Students, The Wanders, and I also found out the Weird Sisters were also going to be playing, and there was no way I could miss them."

"Oh?" Lupin tried to sound excited as they struggled getting down the hill. Although, he had no idea who any of those bands were. It wasn't as if he was looking for a big special date, but a concert filled with teenagers and young twenty-ish adults was not exactly on the top of his list.

Everyone was sitting in front of a large stage made of bright yellow and orange tiles and the background that was bewitched to look like solar systems.

"There's a spot!" Tonks said enthusiastically. They struggled to fight through the crowd, but somehow they managed to find a spot nearly right in front of the stage.

"Great spot!" She said excited.

"Yeah?" Remus said anxiously.

Tonks had reached inside her purse and grabbed a large fluffy pink blanket and placed it on the ground.

"Tonks! Is that you?" A young girl and a few others guys came running over to them.

"Shiah?" Tonks gave her a great hug. Remus stood back, wondering if Tonks had invited them too. Was this a group outing, and not an actually date?

"Even with that impressive Auror job, I knew you wouldn't miss this concert. It's supposed to be a concert of the year!"

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Tonks said surprised.

Remus, who was hiding behind Tonks, tried to distant himself as far as possible. Was Tonks unable to find someone else to accompany her to the concert? Was Lupin her last choice?

"I didn't really know I was coming?" Shiah explained, "All my friends have gone out to bigger and better jobs. I wasn't going to show up at all until my mom made me come along with my brothers and his friends. He graduated from Hogwarts last year and you'd think she start trusting him."

This was probably the most awkward moment in his life. He had just realized why he recognized Shiah's brothers and his friends. He had taught them two years ago in his Defense against the Dark Arts class.

"I'm so sorry! Didn't mean to be rude," Tonks grabbed Lupin's hand and tugged him into the conversation and said, "This is Remus. I invited him!"

A few of the guys started to chuckle softly as they recognized Remus. It was exactly at the moment when realized huge age difference between him and Tonks.

"You're a fan of the Weird Sisters?" Shiah said with judgmental tone. She was looking at him as if he was her father.

"Yeah. Been a big fan since they came out." Lupin tried to sound convincingly.

"I didn't know that? Why didn't you tell me that?" Tonks said, not knowing that he was lying.

"Shiah, let's go before all the good seats are gone!" Her younger brother demanded.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist! Okay, I'll see you later. We should get together after the concert!" Shiah insisted.

"Most definitely!" Tonks smiled.

"Okay," Shiah reached out for a handshake, "It was nice to meet you Remus."

But unexpectedly Shiah's brother snatched her arm away and said, "Let's go!" The group left quickly, but Remus swore he heard her brother say as they were leaving, "don't touch."

Remus and Lupin sat down after they left.

"Blimey. That was a blast from the past. Shiah was my best mate at Hogwarts, but I haven't really seen her since I started training."

"Hmmm." Lupin tried to sound interested. Tonks suddenly started to wave and Remus turned around to see that Shiah and the rest of them had found a spot a few yards away (although they were considerably separated by many other people).

"I am so excited that you fancy the Weird Sisters. I wasn't quite sure if you would really want to come, but I wanted you to join me. You know, a chance for us to be together."

"Me too." Remus smiled. Tonks reach and grabbed his hand and as they stared into each other's eye, he had allowed himself to feel moment of happiness. However, this moment was shattered when he started to hear loud chuckles.

He turned around to see that Shiah's brothers and his friends were now laughing. Despite that they were whispering and there were hundreds of conversations around them, Lupin could hear one of them say "do you think she's trying to get some extra credit from that freak?"

Remus took his hand back and slowly took off his jacket. He had held his hand underneath his jacket, to prevent Tonks from trying to hold his hand again.
