"You see!" said a strained voice. Tonks was glaring at Lupin. "She still wants to marry him, even though he's been bitten! She doesn't care!"

"It's different," said Lupin, barely moving his lips and looking suddenly tense. "Bill will not be a full werewolf. The cases are completely-"

"But I don't care either, I don't care!" said Tonks, seizing the front of Lupin's robes and shaking them. "I've told you a million times..."

And the meaning of Tonks' Patronus and her mouse-coloured hair, and the reason she had come running to find Dumbledore when she had heard a rumour someone had been attacked by Greyback, all suddenly became clear to Harry; it had not been Sirius that Tonks had fallen in love with after all.

"And I've told you a million times," said Lupin, refusing to meet her eyes, staring at the floor, "that I am too old for you, too poor...too dangerous..."

"I've said all along you're taking a ridiculous line on this, Remus," said Mrs. Weasley over Fleur's shoulder as she patted her on the back.

"I am not being ridiculous," said Lupin steadily. "Tonks deserves somebody young and whole."

"But she wants you," said Mr. Weasley, with a small smile. "And after all, Remus, young and whole men do not necessarily remain so."

He gestured sadly at his son, lying between them.

"This is...not the moment to discuss it," said Lupin, avoiding everybody's eyes as he looked around distractedly. "Dumbledore is dead..."

"Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world," said Professor McGonagall curtly..."'

Nymphadora Tonks is officially having the worst day of her life.

Firstly is the fact that she, as well as the rest of The Order of the Phoenix, have been betrayed. A man who they thought they could trust has turned his back on them. The consequences of this are tragic, the heartbreak even worse. The life of Albus Dumbledore had been taken by no other than the traitor himself, Severus Snape. Dumbledore was a role model to so many, but now he is only memory that shall never be forgotten.

The second factor which makes 30th June, 1997 the worst day of her life is because the man that she loves with every fibre of her body has turned her down. Tonks is positively sure that Remus Lupin loves her just as much she loves him. She can see it in his eyes every time he uses one of his petty excuses.

Tears slowly begun to trickle down her face, landing soundlessly onto the old creaking bed, which used to belong to her when she lived with Sirius. Why do I have to love him so much? she silently asks herself, her heart aching for the man. The man she can never have. It is always the same reasons: Age, "twelve years isn't that much", poverty, "I'm an Auror, I think I can manage", danger. Every time this happens Tonks replies the same, she doesn't care that he is a werewolf, she loves him for the man he is.

Furiously wiping the tears from her damp cheeks, she takes three rapid breaths in an attempt to stop the dull ache within her chest. Ungracefully getting up off her and off her bed, she pulls a blanket over her shoulders and heads down the stairs into Grimmauld Place's kitchen. Tapping the kettle with her wand, she continues to make herself a cup of hot chocolate.

Feels weird being here, Tonks sadly chuckles at her thought. She hasn't been here since her cousin died the previous year. Strictly speaking she isn't really allowed in here, but all she wants now is solitude and this is the only place she knew that she could have at least a chance of that.

The ting of the kettle goes off, allowing Tonks to finalise her hot chocolate and sit on one of the ancient wooden chairs.

"What the hell is that?" She murmurs to herself, on the table is a note with her name scrawled on the top of it. Her heart gives a painful tug, even while she's on high alert for an intruder (after all she is still an Auror, and Mad Eye Moody taught her all of his skills). Lifting the letter up and unfolding, she begins to read.

'Dear Dora,

I hope you read this before dawn because this is very important, and timing is of great importance.

I am incredibly sorry for my actions earlier this evening. I wasn't acting rationally and embarrassing you in front of everyone is something that I would take back if I could. It is my greatest wish that I could tell you this in person but as you know tonight is the full moon and I am currently in Grimmauld Place's cellar. Do not worry I have took wolves bane, you are perfectly safe and I could never dream of hurting you.'

Tonks has a fresh wave of tears flowing now, smiling favourably at the werewolf's choice of words.

'Dora I know I have been acting wrongly this past year. I have been trying to get away from you but I can't do that anymore. I love you Dora.'

Tonks' breath got caught in her throat. Surely this isn't happening.

'I love everything about you. I love the way you're so passionate about the band the Weird Sisters, I love every colour you change your hair and how you will never care what they say about it. But the biggest thing I love about you is your heart; you care for people who don't deserve it and you stick up for what is right even though it may hurt you along the way.

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then would you realize how special you are to me.

Love from

Remus

Xx'

Still staring in shock at the parchment, she has never heard anything so beautiful in her whole life… even if it is cheesy as hell. Glowing brightly, the letter forces Tonks to cover her eyes as it disappears. Cautiously opening her dark eyes, she found that in the letter's place is now a key. There is only one room in the house which is operated by a key… The cellar. Grabbing the key, the metraphormagus teeters her way to the door which the werewolf is behind… which her werewolf is behind.

Pushing open the door, she slowly made her way down the stairs, trying to make herself look as graceful as possible by not tripping. Her sock clad feet hit the bottom step; a moment of pride washes over her, from the fact that it is the first time she has ever been successful in being graceful. Moment over, Tonks looks up and gasps at the sight.

Remus has never once allowed Tonks to see him in his werewolf form before. The reason behind that though, Tonks will never know as her man is one handsome werewolf. He has thick tawny fur and the most beautiful golden eyes.

Remus, in wolf form, is currently sitting down like a normal domestic house dog and has a sign around his neck, with only two words on it…

"MARRY ME?"

Someone has just set fireworks off inside her, this can't be happening. Her hair suddenly changes from her natural dull mousy brown into vibrant bubble gum pink in a matter of seconds. She rushes forwards as if to hug the werewolf, but trips on the blanket before she gets there, falling on her face right in front of the beautiful beast. Her moment of gracefulness has officially ended.

Chuckling Tonks flips herself over only to be given a disbelieving look from the wolf. She can literally see Remus's signature eyebrow raise underneath the wolf's fur.

"I'm fine and don't give me that look!" she chuckles, pushing Remus' muzzle gently. He straightens up so that the sign is dangling over her face and a simple but very beautiful ring is placed directly above her eyes. She takes the ring off the sign and places it on her ring finger. "Nope I won't marry you; I've only been nagging you for the past year and a half for the fun of it." she jokes.

Werewolf Remus looks shocked for a moment, then notices the ring on her finger and gives out a huff-like chuckle. Lying beside her, he allows Tonks to cuddle up against his warm fur. "You know Remus, you're so romantic when you want to be."

Remus raises his snout proudly.

"But you're also very cheesy," She laughs.

He starts pushing her away in a playful manner, though she latches onto his neck quickly.

"You can't get rid of me that easily" Tonks whispers lovingly against the werewolf's ear.

Werewolf Remus closes his eyes and whines words which sound an awful lot like

"I love you."

Tonks smiles "I love you too."

"Harry, guess what?" said Tonks from her perch on top of the washing machine. She wiggled her left hand at him; a ring glittered there.
