REVIEW and it makes me happy, so review.

Harry was the first one to reach kitchen and saw Sirius sitting there on the table in deep thought. He looked up and saw Harry and a sly smile crossed his face.

"So…?" He asked him. His eyes shining in mischief as he wiggled his eyebrows and smirked at him.

"So, what?" Harry asked him feigning innocence.

"Don't act so innocent Harry; you know what I am talking about." Sirius mock scolded Harry.

"Nothing happened Sirius." Harry said hoping he would take a hint and drop the topic.

"That wasn't nothing I saw." Sirius asked suggestively destroying Harry's hope.

"What did you see?" Harry asked him, his interest slightly peaking.

"Now, why would you be so interested even though 'nothing happened'?" he said grinning loving the way how troubled he was being over nothing.

"Sirius..." Harry growled in warning

"You both looked like two people who really like each other maybe love too, enjoying the moment." He replied with ease as he stopped teasing him.

"Well it was nothing." Harry said felling a little disappointed as it was nothing more than that. He shook the feeling away.

"Then what was it?" Sirius persisted by asking him again.

"I wasn't feeling sleepy yesterday night so I went to her room and saw her awake. We spoke for a few minutes and then fell asleep."

"That's it?" Sirius asked doubtfully.

"Yup." He said as he saw Tonks and Remus entering the room.

Hermione had still not come down stairs. Breakfast was served and they all sat to have it when Hermione burst in to the room and immediately shouted at Sirius as she saw him "We did not sleep together Sirius." Harry just shook his head in hopelessness and groaned.

"You slept with someone?" Tonks asked Hermione pointing a finger to her and Harry who was banging his head on the table.

"They didn't know?" Hermione wailed in despair as she said heavily on the chair next to Harry looking at him for her answer.

"No." Harry said knowing the amount of teasing to come in the following days.

"You both slept together?" Tonks asked gain slightly shocked.

Hermione just shook her head and dropped it on the table, cursing herself for opening her mouth without seeing the situation. Sirius just smirked happily looking at Harry's and Hermione's tortured expressions, storing it in his memory for future use.

"How was it?" Tonks asked loudly looking at the both of them while Remus exclaimed "What! Sirius did you give a talk to Harry about Bird's and bee's?" he questioned Sirius.

"No not yet, I thought that I had to give the speech in next two years. I underestimated him." He replied smirking thoroughly enjoying what was happening right in front of him and was in no way going to stop it.

"Was it good?" Tonks asked again eagerly.

Hermione cringed at that and knew by the look on Sirius's face that he wasn't going to stop this insane conversation, she had to stop it; she couldn't take it anymore, any longer and stood up and screamed at the top of her voice "Shut up!" and everyone became silent immediately.

"Harry and I did not sleep together. We just slept together in a bed; wait that came out wrong." Hermione said to herself.

"What Hermione is saying is that we were both talking and fell asleep." Harry took control from there. Hermione shot him a thank you look at him.

"You didn't sleep with him." Tonks asked in disbelief and looked as though someone had told her that magic wasn't real ignoring the look on Harry's face.

"No." Hermione said in the tone which ended that conversation. There was silence for a few minutes then Sirius spoke up.

"Where were you Remus, I searched you in your room, you weren't their?"

"When was this?"

"Yesterday night." Sirius said and almost immediately Tonks choked on the pumpkin juice which she was having.

"Are you alright Tonks?" Harry asked her smirking.

"Y-yes, just bloody perfect." She said quickly putting on a fake smile.

"So where were you Remus? The library may be." Hermione asked him now a small smile playing on her lips as they all ganged up on the both of them.

"No, I checked their too." Sirius assured her

"So where were you?" Harry asked him.

"Uumm... Uuhh… you see I saw… I was" Remus spoke looking at Tonks for some help and he stuttering and trying to make up an answer.

Tonks slowly covered Remus hand with hers which was on the table took a deep breath looked at Remus nodded her head closed her eyes and said "He was in my room, sleeping in my bed." She said turning red. There was silence then Sirius blutered "At last!"

Tonks opened her eyes and saw Remus's face red with embarrassment. Harry and Hermione were looking at both of them with a smile on their faces and Sirius was smirking at them and wiggling his eyebrows.

"So… what was Remus doing in your room?" Harry asked her with an evil glint in his eyes.

"We were doing what you supposedly weren't doing yesterday night." Tonks said gaining her confidence.

Remus choked on his spit and turned toward her and whispered sharply "Tonks!"

"What?" she asked him innocently. "They kind of know it anyway-Right?"

"Yup from the day I was here." Harry spoke up.

"See!" she said.

"So you all are not really surprised are you?" Remus finally spoke.

"Nope." Sirius spoke up still wiggling his eyebrows.

"It wasn't that difficult to figure out, anyway." Hermione said.

They all had resumed eating when Hermione spoke up again. "I want you three to train me and Harry." She said looking at Remus, Tonks and Sirius.

"Wow that was not totally out of the blue." Tonks said sarcastically as she covered her surprised at her words.

"Yes I agree I have been thinking about that too." Remus agreed as he ignored Tonks.

"Does it mean that you will teach us spells and all sorts?" Harry asked them getting curious about it as time passed.

"Well I was thinking something like Auror training." Tonks suggested.

"Yah, we'll include some muggle training as well as spells." Sirius agreed.

"Yup, but before that we have to shopping!" Tonks intervened.

"What is shopping got to do with this?" Sirius asked her.

"Well we need proper clothes for training and neither of them have it." She replied motioning towards Harry and Hermione.

"We can always transfigure our old clothes." Hermione suggested, not wanting to think about shopping. Everyone almost agreed but stopped when they looked at Tonks expression and quickly agreed to get ready for the day.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go." Tonks said jumping around as the others walked down the stairs two hours later.

"Okay, okay" Remus said sighing hoping to calm her down.

"How are we going there?" Hermione asked. Remus had suggested staying in the muggle world and shop there so that they won't be recognized by the people. And they all agreed.

Sirius went out of the door and stood in front of a car which neither Harry nor Hermione had seen before and said "In this of course."

"Wow!" Harry exclaimed.

"Where did you get that from?" Hermione asked him, raising her right eyebrow in suspicion.

"Oh! You know from here and there." He replied looking uncomfortable by the topic.

"You stole it!" Tonks said accusingly.

"Well, get inside and let's go shopping." Sirius said hastily as he quickly sat in the car and waiting for everyone else to do the same. They all sat in the car comfortably. Sirius was driving; Tonks was sitting on the other front seat as she knew the place where they were going to shop from. That left Remus, Harry and Hermione to sit at back. Harry sat in between of Hermione and Remus. He could feel Hermione being pressed to his left. He had the urge to hold her hand and caress her but then he remembered the speech by Sirius.

~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~

Breakfast was over and everyone had gone to do their own work. Harry started to follow Hermione when Sirius caught hold of him.

"Just a minute Harry, apparently we need to have a talk about boys and girls." He said as he threw his hand on his shoulder.

"Oh shit" Harry mumbled

"Yeah oh shit indeed" Sirius agreed.

~~~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~~

Harry had never been as embarrassed as he had been then. His face and ears were red and wanted to just go to his room, lock himself up and never show his face to anyone else. But his planned was soon ruined when Tonks had asked him to come with then for shopping and if he didn't, she would blast open his door and Harry believed her.

Soon the car jerked as it stooped and Sirius's voice rang in the car "We are here."

Hermione groaned beside him. "What happened?" Harry asked her worried.

"I hate shopping." Hermione replied miserably. Harry just patted her shoulder and stepped outside in the humid weather.

"Come you guys this place is great and we will get everything we want." Tonks said to the four of them who were still near the car whereas she had already reached the store. Hermione again groaned and rested her forehead on the car.

"What do we want exactly?" Remus asked hesitantly.

"A new wardrobe for all of you." She said as she had started walking leaving behind the four grumbling under their breath.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Sirius protested as he looked down to his clothes.

"Sirius, sweetie have you seen what you wear?" Tonks asked him. Before he could reply she again spoke "Look Remus and Harry are in dire need of new clothes and you have to agree with me on that and after you have returned from the veil you are wearing the same clothes again and again and I think you need new clothes. So please don't irritate me okay?" to which the three men had shut their mouths and nodded silently

"I don't need a new wardrobe." Hermione insisted for the nth time as Tonks started to give her clothes to have already done the same routine another four to five was her turn now. After Harry, Remus and Sirius it was her turn and after shopping for her they could return back to their home sweet home, the meaning of which she finally understood then.

"Yes you do honey."

"I agree, you have such a fantastic body, the body people die for, why not show it off?" the saleslady spoke up.

"I don't want to show my body and I like my clothes." She snapped.

"How did you get the body anyway?" Another salesgirl asked her who had seen her while she was changing clothes as looked down at her own body. "What exercise routine do you follow?"

"Loads of adventure with my friends." She replied smiling wryly as she looked at Harry who was sitting outside the shop with Remus and Sirius who were all tired by the shopping they have being doing from the morning, smiled back at her when he saw her looking at him.

"Is that your boyfriend?" the salesgirl asked as she saw the interaction between her and Harry.

"No." she replied blushing slightly "He's my best friend." She continued.

"Okay." The salesgirls accepted the answer though not believing it. Hermione took the clothes which were given by Tonks and went to the changing room while grumbling under her breath. As soon as she was out of sight the same sales girl asked her again "Are they really not together?"

"Yup." Tonks said. "But not for long." She added with an evil smile.

"Good, because they really do look as they are made for each other." Said the salesgirl wistfully.

"I know they are made for each other and they deserve each other too." Tonks said with a soft smile.
