Luperca

Meeting

'...so...'

'...so...'

'So you're a werewolf.'

'So you're sexy.' Hermione replied

Tonks laughing now, 'and you're confident, it's refreshing honestly.'

'I'll bet, so you know I'm your mate.'

'So I do'

'Well, all I know is that your name is Tonks and that you are drop dead gorgeous, how about you go out on a date with me and we see where this goes?'

'Pretty sure I'm going to say yes.'

'Well why wouldn't I be? Have you seen me?'

Tonks outright laughed at the cheeky witch.

'Yes'

'Yes? Seriously?' Hermione asked in earnest

'Oh, now the tone of insecurity?'

'Well, no but I'm just making sure, just because my nature says you are my mate, you could still reject me.' Hermione said walking closer hand cupping the slightly shorter witch's jaw. She leaned down and kissed Tonks's cheek.

'Nymphadora'

'Huh?'

'My full name is Nymphadora Tonks'.

'So, Nympho about that date? What are you doing now?'

Tonks raised an eyebrow but couldn't keep her serous face and busted up laughing. 'Nympho Huh? You're going to be a lot of fun aren't you?'

'I think you might just bring it out in me.' Hermione mused out loud.

'Well wolf girl, you flash those yellow eyes at me and I'll follow you anywhere.'

Hermione smiled a blinding smile and her inner wolf complied flashing her yellow eyes and let out a mock howl. Tonks laughed as she was grabbed, dramatically dipped, and soundly kissed.

They were leaving the room a few minutes later when they ran into Luna.

'Hey Lun can you let Professor McGonigal know I'll be heading back tomorrow.'

'Of course Luperca, your cuddle buddies will be disappointed tonight.' Luna joked

'Har har Lun'

'Cuddle buddies Huh?' Tonks asked curiously

'Yeah, umm wolf thing.' Hermione scratched the back of her neck looking off to the side

'Relax, I'm not worried teen wolf.'

'Well anyway we should probably be going, which way should we go to avoid everyone Lun?' Hermione asked

Luna directed the way to go assuring Hermione that Harry was indeed safe now, and that she would fill her in on what had occurred on the other side of the building they had occupied .

Most people were staying at the Burrow that night, so her absence would not be missed or out of place.

'Pretty sure we are going to shag tonight huh?' Tonks asked Hermione after they left

Hermione snorted, 'no, I wasn't assuming anything luv. Let's just see how the night goes, how does that sound to you?'

'Actually, perfect. I'd really like to get to know you.'

'So purple, what made you choose purple to dye your hair?' Hermione asked

'Oh yeah I guess I should show you.' She concentrated and changed her hair color a few times, then shifted her face into a few barnyard animals then back to the original one.

'Merlin, that's bloody brilliant!' Hermione stopped and stared

'I'm a metamorphmagus actually, I'm not 100% sure what my true original form is to be completely honest.'

'Well, whatever form you take, I think you are beautiful inside and out. You'll never have to change anything for me.'

'I know you'll never ask. Anyway, what do you have planned for this spontaneous date...and umm I guess I should have asked how old are you anyway?'

'17 actually, so don't worry Nympho I'm legal in the eyes of the Wizarding world.' Hermione responded with a smirk ' and actually with my use of my time turner my physical age is closer to 19'

'Brilliant, Well then now that is sorted! Lead on oh sexy one.' Tonks said

'How is it possible that you've never been to a muggle carnival?!' Hermione asked

'Well papa was muggleborn, but ma was pure blood disowned. We lived a half muggle life, half magical. Kinda missed out on some basic stuff in both worlds.' Tonks explained walking through the fried food area. 'So you're muggleborn?'

'Yeah, my parents are dentists actually, they are quite lovely and supportive parents. I am lucky to have them despite what some pureblood fanatics say, I wouldn't have it any other way. I just wish others could see it that way.'

'I know when mum married my papa her family freaked out, I haven't even met my mum's family yet. Well besides tonight trading spells with Aunt Bella that is.'

'Wait, wait, wait you're related to Belatrix?' Hermione asked

Tonks nodded in response

'Oooh! You must be Draco's cousin' Hermione laughed, 'oh Merlin, I socked my mate's cousin last year.' Hermione doubles over laughing

'From what I hear luv he deserves that and more. Those fanatics are all the same, I know my mum is still hurt that her sisters haven't spoken to her since she left. Their father would not allow it, after she denied the arranged marriage and married my dad. I just feel bad for my aunts and their arranged marriages, I've heard those men are just horrid . I am forever grateful mum never did that to me.'

'As am I, I don't fancy going to Azkaban.'

Their night progressed nicely, they rode every ride, sampled the most outlandish fried food, and played every crooked game they could laughing the entire way at the absurdity of it.

Walking back to Tonks's flat, they were holding hands laughing and smiling the entire way.

'So...um, would you like to come up for some tea Hermione?'
