Nymphadora Tonks despised her name. Who in their right mind names a child Nymphadora for chrissake? But Remus loved it. He called her it all the time and for some reason, she didn't mind it. She could listen to him say her name all day, if she weren't too embarrassed to admit that she liked. When he had first called her it at an Order meeting, she hadn't gone off on him. Molly and Arthur exchanged odd looks and Moody muttered something about being suspicious. Tonks had just sat there, a brilliant red blush spreading across her cheeks.

Ever since then, Tonks had managed to snap, however halfheartedly, at him whenever he called her Nymphadora. Which was all of the time. He was so persistent about it that she just abandoned all pretense and just enjoyed his smooth, gravelly voice gently flowing over the ridiculously long four syllables.

They were to go on a mission for the Order. Nothing really fancy, it was just a lookout thing. But they were going to be alone for the first time in recorded history. When Moody had told her of the mission she couldn't believe her ears.

"I'm going on a mission with who?" she shouted.

"Remus! You're going on a mission with Remus Lupin! Are you half-deaf woman?" Moody roared right back.

"Well Nymphadora, I very much hope our mission will be successful."

Tonks whirled around to see Remus in the doorway. He had a wan smile on his tired face. Tonks softened immediately.

"So do I Remus, so do I."
