“Tonks!” Harry couldn’t believe it.

In front of him, there was a beautiful older woman with long purple hair, she had a very nice figure, her name is Nymphadora Tonks and she looks completely stunning in her black tight strapless dress that can barely hide her huge boobs, her dress accentuates her hips and rear, the dress ends just more than above her knees and thanks to that, her long legs are on the open and they’re supported by a pair of black high heels.

The older woman has been a close friend of the Potter family for some time, after all, her parents have been long-time friends of James and Lily Potter, to be honest, Harry has been crushing on the older woman for some time too but of course, he knows that's something impossible as she’ll never pay attention to him.

She’s the coolest person he knows, she has been serving in the Auror forces since she graduated from Hogwarts and now she’s a captain which means that she leads a team of investigators to solve cases, the last time he spoke with her she was telling him everything about her work and she was painting her job as the most amazing thing in the world.

It seems like she wanted to motivate Harry to join the Auror forces, but even though Harry enjoyed hearing about her adventures, he had no interest in becoming an Auror, there were other priorities in his life before thinking about doing something like that.

“Look at you…Look at those muscles…” Nymphadora said in a teasing tone and Harry couldn’t help but blush.

He knew he should be used to her playful attitude at this point in his life, she had always been such a tease after all, it didn’t matter the occasion or the moment, she never wasted the chance to tease him, but even though she makes him feel embarrassed, he loves this side of her, she’s one of the very few people he could consider interesting.

“Come on Nymphadora, don’t tease Harry!” Sirius suddenly said with a smirk on his face.

“Sirius you bastard, don’t call me that!” The purple-haired witch said in an annoyed tone.

Oh, that’s right, she hates when people use her first name, and he can’t blame her for feeling like that, even though the meaning is somewhat interesting, it sounds like the name of an ancient witch or a delicate fairy from the woods, and if Tonks has proved something throughout the years is that she’s not delicate at all.

“For Merlin’s sake, it’s just a name, just get over it!” Sirius couldn’t believe she could act like that at her current age, of course, he wasn't going to tell her that, if there was something worse than calling her by her name was calling her old.

“You’re lucky Harry’s here or else I would have hexed you for saying such blasphemy!” Nymphadora was getting out of control but Harry decided to not say or do anything to save his godfather, the last thing he wanted was to face Tonks’ wrath.

“You heard her Sirius…You owe me one, after all, my presence has saved your life,” Harry said in a mocking tone.

“There’s no such thing as saving me because there’s nothing to save Harry, now if you excuse me, I need more alcohol to keep digging myself in my misery,” the older man didn’t want to admit he was intimidated by his younger cousin.

Tonks could only sigh as she watched the older man disappear to the other side of the room as he joined the other guys of his age who were drinking, seeing her so concentrated on the older man gave Harry the chance to escape from what he knew was going to happen.

“Wait a minute, where do you think you’re going, Harry?” Unless she stopped him, of course, she wasn’t going to let him go easily, her Auror senses were just too good.

“Uh…I was just…Trying to find Remus, I’m sure you’re looking for him, right?” Asked Harry nervously.

The last thing he knew was that these two were going to get married, now that he realized, it was so weird seeing her without him, after all, she was so obsessed with the man who was as old as his parents, the mere thought made Harry feel a little weird, it was hard for him to comprehend why such a charming and beautiful woman would fall for such a man as gloom and slacker as Remus.

Not that he hates the older man or anything, despite everything, he’s a cool guy but to be honest, he was just too immersed in his misery and that made Harry feel a little disgusted about him, being a werewolf only meant that he had to worry during full moons and full moons can be predicted, compared to his problem, Remus’ one seems like a child’s game, sometimes he wished he was a werewolf instead of what he was, at least some crazy pretty woman out there like Tonks would find him attractive.

“Oh Harry…It has been that long, really?” Tonks suddenly asked with a smirk on her face.

“What do you mean?” Harry was a little confused.

“Well, Remus and I…Well, we’re over,” her words made Harry feel weird.

Maybe spending those three years secluded in the woods made him take time for granted, but to hear what happened during that time made him feel a little lost, this didn’t make sense, they were supposed to be into each other.

“What? No way, but I thought you two were in love!” Harry couldn’t believe it.

“Well, I loved him more than he loved me and I thought that would be enough to make such a relationship work but…We soon realized that was a mistake and soon we started resenting each other, I resented him because I wanted him to love me more and he resented me because he didn’t want to be loved, he wanted to be back to his happy misery,” Tonks sighed after she said those words.

A waitress suddenly approached them to give Tonks a glass of whisky, the older witch gladly grabbed it and she took a sip with a happy expression.

“Wow…That’s…I’m still in shock, I'm sorry to hear that,” Harry said with complete honesty.

“Don’t be Harry, it’s the best thing that could’ve happened, and I'm glad it happened just less than two months after we got married, we decided to put an end to it before we ended up hating each other, killing each other, or even worse...Having children to save our marriage, and it took me a long time but I got over him, it hurt like hell but you know what they say, it’s better to try and fail than wonder how things would’ve been for the rest of your life,” Tonks sighed before she took another sip of her drink.

Harry felt strange, for some reason, he was feeling something invading his body, it was as if all his fears and insecurities were disappearing little by little like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and the moment he saw a lot of people on the dance floor and seeing the hurt expression in Nymphadora’s face disguised with a weak smile, he couldn’t help but gulp.

“Uh...Tonks, would you like to share this piece with me?” Asked the emerald-eyed wizard as he extended his hand for the older woman to grab it.

Those words made Nymphadora feel a little strange, she stared at him with a confused expression and she wondered if he was playing around or if he was just teasing her, after all, she had done that many times in the past, so, it wouldn’t be weird if he tried to pay her back for that.

“Uh…You know what? Let’s forget about it, you’re clearly not in the mood for that, I get it and—” Harry couldn’t finish because suddenly Nymphadora decided to take his hand.

To say he was surprised would be an understatement.

“So…Were you serious about dancing with me or you were just playing with my feelings? I must warn you, Harry Potter…I hate men who promise things but they don’t fulfill them,” Nymphadora playfully threatened him with a smirk on her face.

Suddenly, he pulled her towards him so he could place the other hand on her hip in a movement full of confidence, he didn’t know where that confidence came from but he was feeling like a very different person right now.

“You don’t have to worry about it then, I would fail to attend my own funeral but failing someone I appreciate…That could only happen under my corpse!” He declared and soon, he started the dance with her.

Nymphadora could only smile at his words, and soon, she joined him in the movements, at first they were moving slowly and awkwardly around the dance floor, but little by little, they were getting more in sync and soon, the movements became more provocative and intense.

It was a silent game, neither of them said anything but there was one thing that was clear as water, there was a desire in their eyes, a desire for each other and they were too immersed in this that they hadn’t noticed everyone, including Henry, Lily, James, Sirius, Nymphadora’s parents and even Remus staring at them with shocked expressions.
