A/N HUUUGE NOTE! I have borrowed some of JKR's work to give a time and place and meaning and to give more thought to the character Remus Lupin. This chapter is wrote in his POV and Please note I am not trying to steal the amazing work of JKR

"Dora, may I have a word?" Remus asked pulling her into a nearby room.

"Sure!" She answered brightly. Remus was amazed at how strong she was and able to get over things fast, he was assured a bit by this detail.

"Dora, I talked to Dumbledore." The happy and carefree look slid from her face and it looked as if a shadow came over her, "He does not need me there right now, well, not for a few months at least." A vibrant smile came across Tonks's face.

"Oh, Remus!" Tonks threw her arms around his neck, "Thank god." She said into his ear.

A pain of guilt still resided in his stomach, "Dora, I am very dangerous, and I don't want to see you hurt." Tonks pulled away her arms. "I am trying to keep you safe." He tried to negotiate with her.

"Remus, I don't care. I still wouldn't care if you were a vampire, a squib, or for god sake, a freaking half-giant like Hagrid, I want you for exactly what you are." She moved closer, and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.

Seconds, Minutes, hours, years, or maybe five lifetimes passed until they broke away,

Remus was not sure, but what he did know, is that she had just won this argument, for now at least.

"I knew that you would not be able to stay away Moony!" Remus turned, and he saw his friend in the hall way, "You better hurray up, or else Mad-eye will kill the both of you!" and he walked past them.

"Dora! You did not pull out your wand at him!" Remus said with surprise.

"He was there for me when you were . . . out."

"I am really sorry," He was so sorry, he could not say it enough, but he still felt uneasy about staying with her.

"Tonks, Remus! Get down her we are behind schedule!" A very angry Mad-eye yelled up the stairs.

"Remus, call me Tonks while we are getting Harry, please."

"Alright." They headed down the stairs, BAM! Tonks had fallen head over heels own the stairs, "I didn't think you would have a distraction!" Remus laughed as he went down to help her up.

"I Don't, I am just very excited!" Tonks's smile was contagious, "What's the matter?

You're smiling?" Tonks asked in a playful voice.

"I guess you had of stash of candy." With that remark Tonks blushed, "What is it? You're blushing!"

She playfully hit Remus on the arm, "Let's go, I think Mad-eye is about ready to murder us." She whispered in his ear.

The flight went smoothly to number 4 privet drive; Remus went to the front of the group and unlocked the door, "Come on everyone, in you go." He ushered them all in, "Watch your step, Nymphadora." He added smoothly as she passed him over the threshold.

"It's Tonks." She growled.

"Well, if I can't call you Dora, its Nymphadora then." She narrowed her eyes at him, but he knew that she was not mad. "Excuse me," he said moving past Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Crash!

"Sorry." Tonks muttered as she backed away from the shattered lamp.

"It's alright, but we don't want Harry to get frightened." Remus whispered into her ear.

Click, "What was that?" Remus asked, stating to get annoyed.

"Sorry Remus, I was unlocking the door." Emmeline Vance said pointing at the door that led into a different room.

"Lower your wand, boy, before you take someone's eye out." Remus heard Moody say.

Remus turned fast and saw Harry. He has gotten so grown up, Remus thought as he stared up the stairs at him. "It's all right, Harry. We've come to take you away." He said smiling.

"P-Professor Lupin? Is that you?" Harry sounded shocked.

Tonks fidgeted next to him, "Why are we all standing in the dark?" She lit her wand and held it high. Tonks gasped, "He looks just like I thought he would, Wotcher, Harry!" All of the guard agreed with Tonks.

"Are you quiet sure it's him Lupin?" Mad-eye Moody asked. "It'd be a nice lookout if we bring back some Death eater impersonating him. We ought to ask him something only the real potter would know. Unless anyone brought any Veritaserum?" He continued.

"Harry, what form does your patronus take?" Remus asked.

"A stag," Harry replied in a nervous voice.

Remus nodded at Mad-Eye, "That's him, Mad-Eye." As Harry came down the stairs and the light fell on him more, Remus realized how very much he looked like James.

Remus continued to stare until he hears Tonks's voice, "Lucky, ha! It was me that lured them out of the way. Sent a letter by muggle post telling them they'd been short listed for the All-England Best-Kept Suburban Lawn Competition. They're heading off to the prize giving right now….Or they think they are." A wide smile spread across his face, Dora was truly remarkable, he thought to himself.

"We are leaving, aren't we? Soon?" Harry asked, and Remus shook off his thoughts.

Remus answered his question, "Almost at once, we're just waiting for the all-clear."

"Where are we going? The Burrow?" Harry asked as soon as Remus had given his last reply.

"Not the Burrow, no, too risky. We've set up headquarters somewhere undetectable. It's taken a while…." Lupin cut off at the site of Mad-Eye. Remus introduced Harry to

Alastor Moody, and then to Dora, "And this is Nymphadora—"

"Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus, it's Tonks" She finished with a smile, Remus received a murderess look from Dora when Harry was not looking.

"----Nymphadora Tonks," She let out a frustrated sigh. "Who prefers to be known by her surname only."

She muttered something but he choose to ignore it, he continued to introduce the rest of the guard, "A surprising number of people volunteered to come and get you," Remus finished trying not to smile.

"Yeah, well, the more the better, we're your guard, Potter." Moody said to Harry.

Remus looked out side, "We're just waiting for the signal to tell us it's safe to set off, we've got about fifteen minutes." He estimated.

Tonks wandered around the room, Remus could not take his eyes off her. She is so beautiful, he thought to himself. "Very clean, aren't they, these muggles?" Tonks continued to ramble on about the muggles cleanliness.

Remus heard a suction sound and turned to see what is was. He immediately regretted looking, he saw Mad-Eye's magical eye, "Mad-Eye, you do know that's disgusting, don't you?" Tonks pointed out, Remus could not agree more, but he kept his mouth shut.

Harry got mad-eye a glass of water, "Cheers," He dropped the eye-ball in the glass,

Remus had a disgusted look on hid face, but tore his eyes from Mad-eye, for Harry had just asked a question.

"How're we getting ---- wherever we're going?"

"Brooms," Remus explained to him why they had to go that way.

"Remus says you're a good flier," Kingsley added from behind Remus.

"He's excellent," Remus complemented, "Anyway, you'd better go and get packed,

Harry, we want to be ready to go when the signal comes."

"I'll come and help you," Tonks fast.

Remus watched, Tonks, his Dora, head up the stairs to help Harry pack. He slumped a little, he would of loved for everyone else to go up and Dora and him could have a little time to themselves. Remus watched out the window trying to keep his mind off her, "Remus, are you and Tonks back together?" a deep voice asked from behind him.

He jumped a little, "Oh, Kingsley, why would you think that?"

"It's the first time her hair has been another color then blue, and deep purple," He smirked.

"We….talked." Remus said not feeling like announcing this matter to every one.

Kingsley raised one eye-brow, "Something tells me you weren't just talking."

He Glared at Kingsley, "Quiet," Remus looked down at his feet, "I am no good for her, she would be better off with you." The guilty feeling came over Remus once more.

Kingsley looked shocked, "If you could see it from my point of view, you two are perfect for each other; she is your other half."

Remus cracked a small smile and looked up from the ground, "How is she, my other half?"

"Now don't take this personal, but you are calm, you use your head, and she, well she is vibrant, doesn't exactly use her head. Perfect match." Kingsley finished in a 'Duh-you- should-of-known-this' way.

"I am still to dangerous for her," Remus said leaning against the wall and he heaved a sigh.

"I think you're more of a danger to her, when you are not with her. Do you see how much she falls?"

"Kingsley, you know what I mean, I could get out of hand at the full moon, and attack her! Or a Death Eater could take to get information on Harry!"

"I like to see a Death Eater try and take her!" Kingsley laughed.

Remus laughed a small amount too, "Yes, they would have a difficulty." He agreed. "Now if you excuse me, I am going to write a letter of explanation to the muggles." Remus went off and started to write, He saw from the corner of his eye, Kingsley and Sturgis studying a box thing, when you pressed a button it opened, the found great amusement in that. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he looked up and saw a woman with bubblegum pink hair looking down at him beaming, holding one side of Harry's trunk, "Excellent," He said, then realizing that he was staring at Dora, he shook his head and tried to cover the moments pause, "We've got about a minute, I think. We should probably get you into the garden so we're ready. Harry, I left a letter telling your aunt and uncle not to worry---"

"They won't" Harry commented.

"That you're safe----"

Harry made another very funny comment here as well.

"----and that you'll see them next summer."

"Do I have too?"

Remus could not reply to this, for he was afraid if he opened his mouth, laughter would come pouring out. They put the disillusionment charm on Harry, and got in formation. Once again he lost track of what was happening for he found him self watching Dora again, "Stop being so cheerful, Mad-Eye, he'll think we're not taking this seriously," Remus silently laughed at her last remark.

Then he saw the signal, "Mount your broom, that's the first signal!" He called out. Then he saw the second signal, and they were off, flying to, Number Twelve Gimauled Place.
