Never In his Life

Chapter 7: To Look For Advice

Back at 12 Grimmauld Place, Tonks was still very happy about his trial, "I'm so glad you've done it! At a treat, I can transform into anyone you like!"

"Can you?"

"Of course! I'm a metamorphmagus!" said Tonks as if it was too obvious, "What about Hermione?" She suddenly became focused and changed her appearance. The next second, the girl standing in front of Harry was almost the exact copy of Hermione Granger.

"This is cool, but Hermione had larger teeth. Love it anyway, you surely are talented!"

"Thanks, Ginny next!" her hair turned red in a second.

"Hello 'Ginny', you look particularly pretty today."

"No this is terrible, I don't look like Ginny at all! I'm changing back—"

"Did you go through some sort of training to be able to change your appearance freely?"

"Yeah, I did, for a long time," said Tonks, "What else do you want?"

"Umm is it okay with you if you show me yourself?"

"Huh?"

"Without any fancy makeups."

She laughed, "Ohh I get what you mean, a lot of boys asked me that when I was at Hogwarts. They all imagined me to look like a ghost."

"I don't care how you—"

"You would think I look weird in my natural form, but seriously, I have none. Metamorphmagus are different from normal people. We can change into anything since birth. So I can't give you my natural from because I don't have one."

Harry was amazed by the girl talking to him, "I wish I'm a metamorphmagus too. I'll gladly hide my scar."

"Why? Your scar doesn't define you."

"Maybe it does when everyone sees you as the boy who lived, they seem to forget the fact that I'm just a normal teenager."

It's already lucky of you there aren't a million people asking you for signing photos," said Tonks, winking.

"Sirius, every time I see Tonks, my heart race goes faster and I—" he had no choice but to once again ask his godfather for help.

"I'm not surprised. Who can blame that you are the boy loving my little niece?"

"No! It's not like that," Harry quickly denied while blushing, "I don't love her, all I'm saying is she's nice and funny, nothing more."

"Nothing more haha, Ron, Hermione, and even Ginny don't agree with this."

"She's seven years older than me! It's not like we are gonna work in any way. And she probably had a boyfriend. Never in a million years is she going to—"

"To what? Realize you like her and return those feelings? Believe me, this is exactly what will happen." Sirius said, making Harry wonder what the hell was wrong with him.

Harry Potter and Nymphadora Tonks more than friends? Impossible.

Or that was how he thought.

"How can I make this stop?"

"Easy," he replied, "Walk towards her and say 'I love you more than anything in the world, would you be my girlfriend?' she will 100% say yes, and, problem solved."

"First of all, I don't love her more than anything in the world. Second. even if I do, I can't gather the nerves to say that line. What if she says no?"

"Why would she say no? You haven't even tried. Remus is similar to you, always wondering what if Emmeline doesn't like him. Turned out his worries are useless, Emmy confessed her huge crush on him one day."

"Professor Lupin and that girl are different from me and Tonks. At least they are in the same age, while us..." he trailed off.

"I won't tell you age doesn't matter because it does. A long as you don't do something too far, it's mostly fine. Wait until you are seventeen~"

Sirius' words only made him more confused, "So you want me to ask her out or not?"

"Up to you! Congratulations on winning your trial by the way."

Never in his life would he imagine falling for the pink-haired Auror, but once he did, there was no way of stopping this love war.

"Uncle! I think I like Harry, what do I doooooo?"

"Keep thinking, don't ask me," Sirius replied, his niece became extremely frustrated.

"I mean it! But things are not supposed to go like this—"

"Have you told your mum yet?"

She scowled, "No, or she will come and meet Harry, I don't want to make him nervous."

"Hey, your mum isn't that bad. I reckon she'd push you into a love confession. Harry is going to be happy—"

"But I'm not going to be happy," she exclaimed, cutting Sirius off, "And I know perfectly well he has a crush on me. He isn't making a move so why should I? I am 7 years older than him, it will be all my fault if something goes wrong. His safety is too important for me to take risks!"

"You have a point..."

"With You-Know-Who rising, it's becoming even more dangerous—"

"For once you should allow him to feel love, instead of letting him worry about this dark stuff all day long. You're strong Nymph, you are the ones always by his side, is it that difficult?"

"I don't know..."

Slowly, Nymphadora Tonks was falling out of her own confusion and embraced her true feelings.
