A/N: Hi, I'm responding to one of my reviewers. So, you say that they weren't dating in the 5th book, but we don't know that. I'm assuming they did date. Only assuming. Don't yell at me for trying to fill in the gaps. If you do have solid evidence, please share it with me. Also, in case you guys haven't noticed, this is based off the books. The movies don't do their relationship justice. And, in my mind, I feel that they should be dating because Remus is proper and won't see Tonks a lot if it wasn't official. And also it had to be more than something small, since Tonks gets depressed afterwards. So please make a point with something that was actually stated in the books, and didn't have to be inferred.
Oh, and I don't really have a spell check. Besides, nothing is perfect. Even books have errors in them. If you can read it find, don't complain.
Tonks's POV
I sighed as I trudged through the snow. The kids had already left for Hogwarts. I was taking a walk. Normally I wouldn't do something like that, but I felt I needed to think. I was bundled up nicely and every so often I would perform a drying spell on me. Basically, I could walk without getting too uncomfortable. Which was nice, seeing how I was going to keep walking until I found a solution to my problem. I'm sort of stubborn.
My problem is Remus. I mean I love him, but the relationship is going so slow. I figured things would speed up a little, maybe after Christmas, but nothing. He's just too happy where he is now. I want to move it farther, but he won't let me. He obviously has no experience with relationships, which is kind of sweet, but frustrating at times. I've told Molly this, and she understands. She said that I'll have to just help him along. But it's taking forever! Suddenly, a plan forms in my mind. An evil, glorious, magnificent, romantic plan. I grin, and rush off back to my flat, excited to put it into action.
I prepare everything in my flat for the perfect date. I smiled as I decorated everything with candles. I draped pretty silks around my flat and cleaned up. I made a delicious dinner. Everything was all scented and nice. I put on a dress, a navy blue one with no back and no shoes.
I smiled as Remus came in. "Hey," I said hugging him.
"Is this all for us?" He asked, kissing me.
"Yeah!" I said, leading him over to the table. "Let's eat."
The dinner went smoothly. When I went to put music on, I knocked over a candle and the silk caught on fire. I didn't have my wand on me (where are you supposed to put your wand when you're in a dress?) so I backed away. Remus was quick, shouted "Aguamenti!"
Unfortunately, the water captured me as well as the flames. So, in a matter of seconds, I was soaked to the bone.
"You okay, Nymphadora?" Remus asked, concerned.
"D-d-don't c-c-call m-m-me t-t-that," I muttered, freezing.
"Here," Remus gave me his coat and led me up to my room.
"T-t-thanks," I said, shivering and entering the bathroom to dry off. Remus waited for me patiently.
I entered my room, wrapped in a towel. I sat next to him.
"Well, that was a failure" I said.
"No, it was fun," said Remus.
"I just thought it could be a nice date. And now everything is ruined," I said, frowning.
"Don't say that," Remus said, rubbing my back. "It was a good date. Now, we can continue with it by cle—"
I cut Remus off by kissing him. Remus hugged me tight and kissed back. We stayed up in my room for the rest of the night.
