Ginny looked at Tonks, curled up on the sofa, fast asleep. Ginny smiled at her and gently placed a blanket over her. She looked so young and vulnerable when she was asleep. She was curled up into a ball. Ginny couldn't help but half agree with Remus, well...the age gap was pretty big. She hoped that they'd get together never the less, because she longed to see Tonks happy again.

It was late, Ginny worried her mum would come down stairs, but it seems she'd already gone to bed leaving them alone. Tonks had just crashed the minute they'd gone and sat in the living room, she looked so drained...

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the backdoor, making Ginny jump. It was still raining outside, the wind was howling. It was very late; who was visiting at this hour? None of her family or Tonks had stirred from their sleep, Ginny took a deep breath; they knocked again. She shuddered and took out her wand, walking from the living room back into the kitchen, they knocked again. She hesitated by the door. She could see the shadow of the person behind the door. She gripped her wand.
"Who's there?" She said.
"It's me," Said Lupin. "Remus Lupin!" His tone sounded rushed and panicked.
Ginny opened the door, wand still in her hand. Looking up at Lupin, she saw he looked panicked and worried, but she had to keep protocol. Barring his entrance to the house, she raised her wand at him and said "You taught us how to defeat Boggarts, in my second year, in that particular lesson I was wearing a hair grip which you commented on, what was the hair grip like?" She waited.
Remus frowned, then realised she was using this as a security question. He pulled a face more worried about Dora than answering the stupid question. "Er-," He thought. "It was a daisy...my mother's favourite flower." He said all of a sudden remembering.
Ginny lowered her wand. "So erm..?" She began, about to ask him why he was here when he rushed past her, into the kitchen "Where is she? Where's Dora? Is she here?" He said. He looked wildly around, turning a whole circle; he stared at Ginny, fear in his eyes. "Dora?" He yelled. "Where is she?" He demanded of Ginny.
"Lupin," Ginny began, puzzled.
Just then, Tonks walked in from the living room, yawning and looking ruffled; her hair was a mess. "I heard voices-!" Her eyes fell on Remus "What the...?" She stared at him, "Remus, what?" She was cut off by Lupin running to her. He grabbed her, holding her close.
"Dora!" He sobbed.
"Remus...?" She asked confused, her hands coming round him too responding to the hug subconsciously.
"I heard," He sobbed breathless, releasing her from his arms. "I heard that some Aurors had been kidnapped," He hugged her tight again then looked at her, continuing, "I knew you were at work earlier..." He travelled off, his eyes were round and he looked at her intently. "I thought you were..."

He couldn't finish his sentence for Tonks was kissing him. Ginny blushed and looked away, giving them a private moment. Remus kissed her back, clinging to her. "Dora," He whispered, pulling away from her and stroking her face. "Sweetie," He whispered. "I'm... I went to your mums. She said you hadn't been home yet, I was going crazy, you mum didn't know anything about the kidnapping. I thought...I asked her where you might be...she said you might be with Ginny! I was scared..." he kissed her again. "You're safe." He breathed.

"Ginny...

Tonks stood clinging onto Lupin's hand in the kitchen of The Burrow; Molly had just thrown her arms around her and exclaimed her excitement at the couple that now stood blushing before most of the Weasley family. Ginny hugged Tonks and took her hand pulling her away from Remus, "Dora...my room now!" Ginny said pulling her up the stairs.
Tonks laughed and followed her into her room. Ginny pulled Tonks into a hug! "Tonks!" She said as they embraced once more.
"Kiddo!" Tonks laughed hugging her back. "What is it?!"
"I've just missed you!" Ginny laughed.
"But you could have said that down stairs..." Tonks laughed, and flopped sitting down on Ginny's bed, Ginny followed her lying down, Tonks shuffled up and let Ginny rest her head on her lap. Tonks stroked Ginny's hair, as she smiled up at her. "You made me leave Remus down there all alone..." Tonks chuckled.
Ginny sighed. "Tell me everything Dora!"
Tonks smiled, Ginny noticed how much happier she looked today compared to the last time she had seen her. Her hair was now a cheery bright pink. Her eyes shone bright blue today, her cute button nose wrinkling as she laughed. "You're a funny kid..." She laughed, her hands gently stroking Ginny's silky ginger hair. "What do you want to know...?"
Ginny smiled "Everything!"
"Well, he's great in bed!" Tonks laughed.
Ginny frowned and exclaimed "Ew! I. Did. Not. Want. To. know. That."
"You asked everything." She laughed. "No..." She giggled. "On a serious side... he's amazing...but y'know..."
Ginny looked up and saw tears glinting in those bright blue eyes. "Dora...?"
Tonks coughed and rubbed at her eye. "I just- Remus ... is well y'know...he has..."
"A furry little problem!" Came a voice from the doorway, Remus was standing at the door, half
Smiling, still wearing his travelling cloak. "It's how James used to refer to my little problem." Remus explained.
The girls were stunned into silence. "Remus..." Tonks said and Ginny sat up.
"Oh don't mind me," Lupin laughed, waving his hand. "I just guessed you girls would be talking about me... I wanted to know what was being said," He smiled, still hovering in the doorway.
"You can erm... come in... if u want." Ginny said unsure of herself; she waved at the empty rocking chair in the corner of her room. Lupin remained where he was standing.
"I'm unsure of the protocol... as to whether I, your ex professor, should be entering my old pupil's bedroom..." Remus laughed but there was a serious tone to his voice.
Tonks laughed and bounced off the bed, pulling her 'boyfriend' into the room. She pushed him gently into the rocking chair and proceeded to sit on his lap. Tonks grinned at Ginny. She turned looking at Lupin. "Remus you old fool...she's not an ex pupil she's your girlfriends best friend... me and Gin... we're practically sisters."
Tonks grinned, Ginny smiled. "True that." The girls laughed.
"Your mum ambushed me." Lupin told Ginny, his arms around Tonks, he sighed. "The second you two left me alone..."
Tonks laughed loudly. "Sounds like Molly."

Mrs Weasley called them down for dinner awhile later. The dinner was pleasant; the conversation typical- work, jobs, death eaters, He Who Must Not Be Named, the usual. Ginny ate in relative quiet, concentrating on her peas not the conversation. The room was full, what with the extra guests and Harry was staying too.

After dinner, Tonks caught Ginny alone as everyone was making their way into the living room for drinks. They were pressed into the wall as people hurried past them, the twins called "Don't stop in the hall way!" They laughed and disappeared into the living room.
"He was totally watching you throughout dinner!" Tonks told Ginny, squeezing her arm excitedly.
"What..?" Ginny spluttered.
"You know," Tonks winked and lowered her voice. "Harry!" She whispered "He was totally watching you at dinner!"
"Really?"
"Yup!" She nodded.
