Hoshi- Here's chappy 6. Hope you enjoy.

Does not own HP

Tonks headed for Diagon Alley the next day, looking around at the books. She soon headed over to a dragon taming section. "I remember reading one of these once." she said softly.

"Fun books aren't they?" asked Noah as he came up behind her.

"Huh? Oh..yeah.." she said nodding in agreement.

"Tonks..are you doing alright? You look a bit pale."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"Well, for one, you're white as a ghost, and two, I think..your face is partially red.."

Tonks blushed and looked away. "Damn, he can tell?"

"Oh..I um..it's just warm in here." she said smiling big.

"Hm..okay, well, how about a Butterbeer? My treat?" he asked smiling.

Tonks laughed nervously and nodded, "S-Sure."

They got into the Leaky Cauldron and she smiled as they sat at a table, drinking their Butterbeers.

Noah looked at Tonks, "Can I ask you something?"

Tonks blushed alittle and nodded, "Yes."

"I dont' wanna be too quick..but..would you go out with me? Even for alittle while?" asked Noah blushing.

"Woah! That was soo random! Should I..or..ugh, no I shouldn't..then again..what does Remus care?" she thought and looked back at Noah. "Sure..I'd love to."

Noah blinked, 'R-Really? You're sure about this though..right?"

She nodded, "Yes. We've not seen eachother in years and well..I miss being with you."

He nodded and sipped his Butterbeer. "Awesome. I've always loved you, Tonks, even if you didn't see it."

She blushed, "I..thanks."

"Wow..this is fun, actually talking to him..but now he's my BOYFRIEND! Eh, he's not bad..but..why am I still thinking of Remus..?" she thought.

Awhile later, the two left the Leaky Cauldron, walking around Diagon Alley.

"Where should we go, Tonks?" asked Noah smiling as he held her hand in his.

She blushed, thinking back to the first day they went out last time. "Um..anywhere is fin-Oh! I have to stop by the Ministry. I forgot something for work." she said suddenly.

"C'mon let's go. We can get there in 5 minutes if we rush, the Ministry offices will be closing soon." said Noah, now jogging with her.

"Wait." Tonks stopped him, "We can just apparate to the entrance."

Noah slapped his head with his hand. "Duh! Why didn't I think about that? See, that's why you're the Auror..not me."

She laughed and looked at him, "Ready?"

He nodded and the two disapparated, soon appearing infront of the Ministry of Magic building.

She walked in, with Noah behind her of course and went to the elevator, pressing the button for the second floor.

"Level Two, Department of Magical Law Enforcement." said a voice.

Tonks and Noah walked out, she led him into an office area and headed over to a desk, pulling open a drawer and a small box. "Good.." she mumbled.

"What is it, Tonks?" asked Noah, his hands in his pockets as he walked over by her.

"Something for home." she said and smiled, "I couldn't just leave it here..someone could get in and get it."

"Is it something wanted?"

"Eh, not really." she said as they walked out, getting ready to floo.

"We're flooing to where?" asked Noah as he got into one across from her.

"Leaky Cauldron." she said and winked as she was off.

Noah did the same and soon appeared in the L.C. seeing Tonks talking to Tom.

"Did you get left behind?" asked Tonks as she stuck her tounge out.

"Haha, laugh while you can, Nym-"

"Don't call me that." she said glaring.

Noah chuckled, "Still haven't changed." he said smiling.

She blushed and started to talk to Tom again, a moment later, Hagrid walked in.

"Tonks, I need to talk to you, it's important." he said gruffly.

Tonks looked over and listened, she nodded, "Right. At the Burrow or-"

"At the Headquarters."

"And Molly said this?"

"Arthur actually."

She nodded and looked at Noah as he was walking over. "Noah, Look, I don't mean to seem like I'm blowing you off, but I've got to go. Order business."

He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Go get them."

Tonks blushed and walked out with Hagrid, soon getting some gloves on.

"W-Was that young man..Noah?" asked Hagrid looking at her.

Tonks nodded, "Yup. That it was." she said and looked at him, "# you know what, right?"

"Yes ma'am." said Hagrid smiling.

She gave a wink and disapparated, soon appearing at #12's door. She knocked.

"Verifcation." said a soft voice.

It was Kingsley.

"Nymphadora Tonks, Auror, Member of the Order of the Phoenix and a klutz." she said laughing alittle.

Kingsley undid the lock and let her in, "Klutz is right."

She hit him in the arm and walked into the meeting room, "What's going on?"

"A few Death Eaters have escaped." said Kingsley walking back in.

Lupin looked up, "Nothing out of the ordinary."

"So we have to round them up right? Not a prob-"

"Yes it is, Nymphadora!," said Moody looking over from the window. "We don't know if we can catch them."

"But..we normally can. I doubt it'll be a problem. Who escaped?" she asked, hands on her hips now.

"Nott, Avery, Black.." said Moody looking over again.

"We got them back into Azkaban after Sirius though..how did they esc-"

"Noone knows. Bellatrix is still out there if you're wondering.." said Arthur. "It's Rodolphus who's escaped."

"Why does that not suprise me?" said Tonks sighing. She drew her wand out. "I for one am not gonna stand here all night. I'm gonna go round them up."

'NYMPHADORA!" yelled Moody, going up and slapping her.

Everyone looked at them.

"You can't just go in without a plan! They'll get you like they did Sirius!" yelled Moody.

Tonks felt her face go white, Moody knew how much she cared for Sirius! That was her favorite cousin who died that day! She whipped around and ran out of the room and up the stairs, not caring that she was tripping.

"How could he say that! Sirius knew what he was doing that day! It wasn't his fault! Why did he bring him in like that?" she thought and cried into her pillow.

She came out later that night, she stretched and grabbed the railing of the stairs as she was coming down them. She over heard Moody talking to Kingsley in the kitchen from the stairs.

"Nymphadora's lacking training, Kingsley..I wonder if she's even able to come on the next mission." said Moody as he sat down.

"Tonks is a great Auror though, she learned alot from you.." said Kingsley looking at him by the doorway.

"Her head's in the clouds..she normally thinks first..she hasn't recently. You saw her earlier, she was willing to barge right into where ever they are."

"You know as well as I do that Tonks wouldn't ever do that." said Kingsley looking at him.

"She might. You don't know Nymphadora as well as I do."

Tonks felt tears fall down her face alittle. Her own mentor, her friend..was telling another behind her back, that she was dumb, in a way.

"I don't want Nymphadora to go on this mission, Kingsley..help me keep her here." said Moody, coldly.

"I'll try, but I can't guarentee it." said Kingsley.

Tonks ran up to her room, locking it.

"I'm not comin down for the rest of the night." she thought.

As she lied there, she clenched the small box in her hand as she fell asleep. Waiting for morning to arrive.
