Tonks made her way to Remus, swinging her hips as she walked. I'm sure she thought she looked terrific. But I was pretty sure it was gonna scar me for life.

Plopping onto Moony's bed, Tonks smiled at him and tucked a strand of magenta hair behind her ear. She seemed not to have noticed me yet, which was strange. I nervously glanced from side to side until Remus cleared his throat.

" Dora! You're....here!" He said, forcing a smile. I stifled a snicker.

Tonks scrunched up her face in the most unattractive way.

" Of course I'm here! Remus, you invited me over!" Tonks said, her face still scrunched as she attempted to nonchalantly scoot onto Remus--who was, by then, sitting upright--'s lap.

Moony nervously glanced to the scooting Tonks, and then to me, who Tonks was still oblivious to. I finally cleared my throat and stood up just as Tonks was in Remus's lap and was trying to worm her bony hands up his shirt. Tonks's eyes darted to me for a second, then she returned to what she was doing. My face burned. Almost a brighter red than Moony's.

Then, Tonks--with a smirk towards me--slid her hands from Remus's shirt, and slipped them into his pants. Moony's eyes widened, and he sort of yelped with surprise.

" Uh, um, Tonks, I'm going-I'm gonna stop you, uh, right-right there." He managed to cough out, and removed Tonks's hands.

I chewed my lip and shoved my hands in my pockets.

Tonks pulled a pouty face. " You'd let him do it. Wouldn't you, Remus?" She said, jerking her head in my direction. " Besides, why'd you invite me here if you don't like me?"

Remus looked uncomfortable. " Er, sorry, Tonks, but, um...I-I-I...I, um...I...I don't...I don't think I...Er...uh..."

Tonks narrowed her eyes, stood up, and made for the door. " Fine then. I get it. Whatever." She said, her voice breaking.

Moony winced.

I waited until I heard the front door slam, then turned on Remus.

" What the heck was that, Moony? What. Was. That? And what did she mean, 'you'd let him do it'?! What did she mean?!"

Remus slowly lay back down, shrugging his shoulders at me. "I was lonely.And, I assume she meant exactly what she said."

" Oh,so you'd let me dig my hands around your--" I started to say, sarcasm dripping from my voice. But Moony cut me off.

" Why are you worried about it? You shouldn't care unless you wanted it to happen." He said, resting his head on his hands.

My face flushed. Since when was he the one that made the moves, or said things like-like-like that!?

I sat on the foot of Remus's bed, glaring at him. " Why you gotta make it hard? I already apologized. Must you make me suffer?" I said dramatically, falling down next to him.

Remus laughed kindly. " Please remove your shoes, if you're going to lay here." He thought for a moment. "You know, some of your other clothes are pretty filthy too. You might have to remove those, as well." Moony said awkwardly.

I grinned. Yeah, there was the Remus Lupin we knew and loved! " Oh, is that so?" I asked.

Remus nodded. " Yeah. But, you know, mine are pretty dirty too."

I raised my eyebrows. I wondered how long he could keep this up.

Three, two, one...

I sensed Moony was about to say something, so without warning, I rolled over on top of him. His eyes widened in surprise.

He swallowed. "Uh..."

I smiled. "Did you wanna say something?" I asked, casually leaning down.

A smile wobbled on Remus's face. He threw his arms around my neck. "Just kiss me." He breathed, lifting himself up slightly to meet my lips.

I slowly pulled away. " Moony..."

"Hm?" Moony mumbled, his voice muffled as he tentatively kissed my neck. I grinned. It felt electric.

"I'm getting my filthy clothes all over your bed."

Remus pulled away, and gently pulled my shirt over my head. I had already shed my jacket and shoes.

He bit his lip. I raised my eyebrows.

This was something I could get used to.
