i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 200 words commentary | Remus was a very curious fellow – and he was studying her carefully as to get to know her a little better. He could tell she was withholding something – but he supposed that was normal, especially in times like this when anyone could be a Death Eater. There was just a feeling he got from her that spelled ‘NOT A DEATH EATER’ out very clearly to him, but one could suppose his instinct was wrong. It hadn’t failed him yet.
“Well it wasn’t as bad as the time we charmed the great hall’s ceiling to rain stuffed cats and dogs. Some of the younger students had a lot of fun. I think I still have one somewhere in my stuff… That one my friends were blamed for but, ah, I was the mastermind behind it. Because of the muggle saying, it’s raining cats and dogs – unfortunately for them they all came from wizarding families. I introduced them to some of the best muggle music out there.”
His face reddened at her suggestion of chocolate and love. His heart leapt out of his chest and he started to stammer like some school boy. “W-W-W-Well I – I suppose it c-c-could-d-d do that too…”

She giggled again. "So they just did not get it huh?"
She smirked, "though I can see the younger kids having a good time with it. I mean, free plush toy, right?"
She grinned. "Oh, my friend has really good taste in muggle music too! I wonder if you two share the same favorites."
She was really laying the hints on thick now, feeling slightly guilty about witholding information as it was. Personally, I'm a fan of the Beatles. And Frank Sinatra."
She had a thought for a moment, "though, I could swear Sinatra was a wizard."
Another smirk, "chocolate, pizza - they both do the job pretty well."
She winked.

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 217 words commentary | “Not at all, but it was very funny, and harmless. I swear I saw some Slytherins freaking out thinking they were cursed. Unfortunately, after a bit the plushes disappeared, but James – one of my friends – was handing out plushes to those who were upset… you know, duplicates and charmed up things don’t last forever, they decay and disappear after a couple of days. It was… pretty great. Even gave the Slytherins who wanted them.”
“Well you know, music is a magic beyond all we do anywhere.” Perfect, quote the wise headmaster who loved music – perhaps if he hadn’t heard much yet, he should introduce Dumbledore to the Beatles… Or was he more of a Metallica fan? Remus chuckled at the thought of Dumbledore listening to Metallica – or even singing along. Boy that would be amazing.
“ Honestly, I’m good with any sort of music – though I would rather not have them screaming in my ears. Musicians have their own type of magic, though I do agree, Sinatra was really good.” He twisted his fingers into the ‘ok’ sign and nodded his head.
“R-Really?” He was blushing again. Boy, if this was going to go on longer than this, then he really needed to tell her about his secret sooner than later, but he was too afraid.

"You and your friends sound like a fun and amusing lot. I envy the people who get to spend their time around you."
Like your sister, she thought with a small smile.
"Sinatra's good for his romantic ballad, 'Fly Me to the Moon'; I'd have to say that is my favorite."
She quirked a smile, raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh, yes, particularly in this setting. Wouldn't you agree?"

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 247 words commentary | “Well not everyone wanted to hang around us.” His thoughts drifted towards the professor he was going to have to deal with this year and how he was going to have to try to be civil – and to be fair unless Snape did something incredibly terrible, like date his sister, he would be civil. “We thought we were the coolest kids at the school too – or well, my friends thought it. James would mess up his hair because he thought it looked cool – but we all knew it was because then it looked purposeful that his hair was messy instead of his inability to keep it straight.” He chuckled thinking of James. Man, he missed those days – perhaps the four of them could really… have fun together.
“Hmmmm… That one is nice,” Remus clears his throat and starts to quietly sing so she could hear but not to interrupt anyone else – his voice wasn’t as if he were a professional, but he wasn’t bad, his tenor matching fairly well with the original, “Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on a- Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand.” He reached out taking her hand in his, “In other words, baby, kiss me.” He kissed the back of her hand and gave her a shy sort of smile.
He nodded at her last question, his eyes darting around the room, his throat feeling dry. “Y-Yeah…”

It was really endearing, him talking about his friends. Rose had been right, he really treasured his friends. Hell, from Rose told her, he really treasured his sister too.
When he began to sing, no, serenade her, her heart nearly lept out of her chest. He took her hand in his and her face lit up in a blush, which darkened as he kissed the back of her hand.
Oh, hell, she really was in deep. Had she intended for this to happen? Not really. Was she pleased that it had?
Yeah, she was.
She smiled softly, "I... I would like a kiss from you."

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 146 words commentary | Remus was just about to start the next bit of the song when she said she would like a kiss from him. His eyes widened, and he quickly stood up, hitting his knee against the table. He cursed under his breath and held his knee for a moment until the pain subsided.
“S-S-Sorry, y-y-you just caught me by s-surprise,” He quickly sat down and covered his face, “It’s… not that I don’t, I just – I just haven’t ever –“ He swallowed looking at her.
“Technically I have once, but it was an accident. I haven’t ever… you know – on purpose.”
If one were to follow his eyes they were staring at her lips, as if he were still fighting internally of whether or not to oblige her wants. He sighed looking at her. “Sorry again… I shouldn’t have reacted like that. I-If you really want to…”

When he suddenly stood up in shock, she had to refrain from giggling. Everything about him she found endearing. Even his embarrassment of having a girl come onto him maybe a tad too heavy.
But Tonks was a brave woman and perhaps she picked up a bit of that forward nature from Rose. She had always found that confident nature of her very attractive and wanted it for herself. Luckily, Remus just happened to be the perfect person to receive it.
She gave him a challenging look, "well, are you going to show me that Gryffindor bravery and come over here, or do I need to take it for myself?"
She smirked.

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 187 words commentary | At this moment he almost looked like a school boy again – normally he looked at least 4 to 5 years older than he really was, slowly increasing the gap as he aged (by the time he was 35, he was sure he’d looked like he was 9-10 years older than he really was), but right now he looked like he belonged in Hogwarts, not as a professor but a student. There was an innocent glow to his face, an innocent nervousness as he looked at his hands for a moment before he slowly stood up again, his hand trailing on the table next to him.
He leaned against the table, looking down at her for a moment before he leaned down pressing a shy kiss to her lips, his arms hanging at his side, his face a tomato. To be fair, it was obvious he hadn’t kissed anyone prior to this, as he seemed fairly lost on what to do other than press his lips to hers, but after a moment he quickly pulled away, looking away and like a tomato. What was this, Veggie Tales?
“S-Sorry…”

Nymphadora Tonks: you just kissed your Professor. Your best friends brother. How do you feel?
....Pretty damn awesome.
She shook her head, smiling.
"Don't be, I liked it."
And she would prove it. He was a fair bit taller than her, but she had decided on heels today, plus, she was a metamorphmagus. As she stood, she added a few more inches to her height, just enough to make pulling him to her lips again easy.

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 338 words commentary | Had she gotten taller since their pool match? There wasn’t really any time for him to ponder this question as she had pulled him into another kiss, his eyes fluttering closed. His arms stayed at his side, though they were tempted to rise up and rest on her hips. What was wrong with him? Why was he enjoying this so much? His heart was beating against his chest as if it were going to beat out of his chest. His lips moved against hers, not much different than the first, but it was as if some sort of instinct kicked in and told him he should probably move his lips a bit.
She was so intoxicating – she liked muggle things much like he tended to, she understood his references to muggle things – something none of his friends really ever got, except Lily from time to time. And here she was, her lips against his, and he couldn’t help but feel freer than he ever had before. Perhaps because he hadn’t allowed himself to have a relationship like this (one he expected would end after the promised date, which he would go to, just so she wouldn’t be stood up – and he liked her, a lot). But she had no idea what was wrong with him – she had no idea of the monster he was, but here she was kissing him, and he was enjoying it. He couldn’t tell her his secret – it would possibly ruin his mission at Hogwarts if he leaked it, so she had to be kept in the dark until at least the mission was done. He felt like a jerk, he felt like he was using her, but…
He also felt like he was the happiest man in the world regardless of those feelings. Was this how James felt about Lily?
The kiss lingered for several moments before Remus pulled back, breathing heavily and looking at her with lust, love, want, need in his eyes. “How can… How can someone like you be real?”

She smiled into this kiss, her hands reaching up to run down along his arms before taking his hands in hers and then placing them on her hips. She then placed her hands on his chest, further enjoying the kiss.
He pulled away and before releasing him, she pressed a gentle kiss to the corner of his mouth.
She gave a tilt of the head and smiled, "I've asked that of myself. But, I am real. One of a kind. And I can be yours if you'll have me."

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 167 words commentary | The feel of his hands on her hips was actually… very nice. He knew he was gone. He was down this hole a little deeper than he ever thought possible. Down to the core of the Earth. Terribly deep and he didn’t think it was possible to climb his way out of it. After all, they would likely not see each other very often after this – even if he said yes to… having her.
It would be fine – and if she found out, she’d run away screaming anyways. It wasn’t like… he was that terrible of a person – and maybe he would be killed by a Death Eater before she found out and then she would always remember him like this, as a normal human being.
He hummed slightly, the tune of the song he had been singing before. “M-More like if you’ll have me. Y-You’re amazing and I – I’m just me.” He gave her a small smile. “I don’t know if I could… ever please you.”

She giggled softly, "I think you're more amazing than you give yourself credit for."
Oh, that was probably a very strong opinion for someone who just met him. But dammit it was the truth.
"Kind, smart, loving. A fantastic kisser. Bold, daring, intelligent."
A loyal and protective sibling. Honourable. Determined.
She sighed softly, a beaitufly smile on her lips. "Dare I go on?"

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 207 words commentary | Remus smiled slightly at her, chortling, his hands shaking slightly, though they continued to rest on her hips. “Such high praise. I don’t think I’ve done anything to deserve such, Luna."
"You ended up forgetting a few things – though I don’t blame you, we’ve only just met.”
“Nervous, inexperienced, soldier, my face,” He indicated the scars,
“I can be callous, distant, rash. Depressing. I do talk down to myself quite often. My friends often tell me I’m too hard on myself, so that would also count I think.
"A-And while you’re an amazing kisser, I – I doubt I was that good…”
