[Flourish and Blotts]
[Mid-morning]
[Anyone feel free to say hi!]

Tonks nearly tripped over a stack of books as she walked in the door of Flourish and Blotts. "Woops, sorry! No, no, I'm fine, no help needed, thanks..."

She brushed aside the helpful saleswizard who immediately approached her. The last thing she needed was someone hovering over her shoulder when she knocked over a row of bookshelves. She'd done that before.

She found the section marked Love and Relationships and started scanning the shelves. She blinked slightly at I'm in Love With a Vampire, clearly one of those "naughty memoirs" books rather than anything really helpful. She pulled another tome off the shelf, older and slightly hidden in a corner. Flipping through it, her eyes widened slowly and she carefully closed the book and replaced it, her hair turning the same shade of red as her cheeks.

Hm. May-December. Glancing through it, she raised an eyebrow. "Merlin, he's not that old," she muttered to herself. "And nothing at all about dating a..."

I could never be sick of my wife! I love my wife, she's wonderful and beautiful and fantastic. *happy sigh* Shall I go on?

Nope. Never going to happen. Not as long as you and I are mates. So tell me, who is this bloke? Maybe I could help out, after all I am the king of dating. Ok, maybe not dating, possibly shagging, but I think it still counts. MOst of the time there was dinner...

	Out with it Tonksy. How much older? Who is he? Whose arse do I need to kick? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No one's! I can kick anyone's arse that I need to, Charlie. And Remus doesn't need his arse kicked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the only Remus I know! And don't look at me like that, Charlie. He's very nice and gentleman-like. He's also quite funny once you get to know him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keeperofdragons 2009-08-22 01:52 am UTC (link)
	I know he's very nice, I've known the man for sometime. But he's old...er. What about blokes you own age? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	auror_tonks 2009-08-22 01:59 am UTC (link)
	He's not that old, Charlie. Besides, I've dated plenty of blokes my age. Most of them turned out to be arses. Except you and you're taken! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	auror_tonks 2009-08-23 03:55 am UTC (link)
	That's what you think, Mr. I-used-to-be-a-star-Quidditch-player. As long as you're not doing violence to a very nice bloke I've dated a couple of times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	auror_tonks 2009-08-23 04:21 am UTC (link)
	The only thing cooler than playing Quidditch is being an Auror. smirks And what do you mean, "the talk"? I don't like the sound of that, Charlie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keeperofdragons 2009-08-23 05:45 am UTC (link)
	I work with dragons, and chimeras, and sphinxes, just to name a few. I'm way cooler. eyebrow The kind a bloke has with another bloke when the other bloke is dating their next make. Just a calm conversation where I let him know that if he hurts you, I will skin him and wear his pelt as a jacket. smiles (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If who hurts her? asks curiously as he wanders over after paying for his purchases Something involving work? smiles warmly Hello Charlie... I understand congratulations are in order? looks over at Tonks, grins shyly And good morning, Dora... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keeperofdragons 2009-08-24 02:43 am UTC (link)
	smiles Remus! Speak of the devil. Oh no, not work. shrugs Might as well get this out of the way now. If you hurt my mate Dora here, I will kill you, skin you, and wear you as a hat. GRINS Do we understand each other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rjlupin 2009-08-24 03:04 am UTC (link)
	looks slightly confused, raises an eyebrow I think I missed something... Why would I ever possibly hurt Dora? And no offense Charlie? But if I ever was daft enough to hurt her, I don't think she'd leave enough of me left for you to kill and skin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	auror_tonks 2009-08-24 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Wotcher, Remus! turns a little red, remembering what section she's in Charlie likes to think he needs to protect me or something. He's got a big brother complex. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rjlupin 2009-08-24 03:42 am UTC (link)
	laughs softly Charlie doesn't have anything to worry about. You're more than capable of taking care of yourself. But it's very sweet that he's worried. I solemnly swear though that I've no intention of ever hurting you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie likes to think he needs to protect me from, well, any bloke I date. You know, in case they break my heart. He's not as insane as he seems, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rjlupin 2009-08-24 05:09 am UTC (link)
