A/N: I'm writing/have written this story from Severus's POV! It's called, "A Love Story?" I hope you'll read and enjoy it as well as this story!

Tonks carefully maintained as neutral an expression as possible while Severus Snape played footsie with her under the table during an order meeting. Never in a million years did she think Severus Snape would ever play footsie with anyone. Tonks felt like grinning. She always felt like grinning lately. Severus had asked to kiss her three months ago, and their relationship had took off from there.

Tonks was pretty sure she was in love.

As the meeting came to an end, Tonks reluctantly stood up. And, oh, dear lord. Hestia Jones was walking towards Tonks with a purposeful expression on her face. Tonks fought the urge to hide behind Severus. An irrational fear? Perhaps, but there it was.

"Nymphadora, darling!" shrieked Hestia loudly. "Still alone?" she asked with a malicious false concern. "And you've simply got to do something about that outfit!" She burst into high-pitched laughter.

As Tonks felt her face grow red, she had to consciously restrain herself from punching Hestia in her garish face.

"I hear you actually got demoted! Tonks, darling, really?" Hestia Jones continued nastily.

"Actually, Hestia, daaahling, I asked to be given back my old job," Tonks replied mockingly. "And I'm NOT single," she added, grinding her teeth in furious frustration.

"Of course," Hestia smirked infuriatingly.

Just when Tonks was about to seriously lunge for her throat, a calming hand was placed on her shoulder.

"While you looks may be more disgustingly artificial than Nymphadora's, your grating voice and deficient mental state are far worse than your deplorable views on what it means to look feminine," Snape sneered viciously.

Giggling helplessly at the look on Hestia's face, Tonks pulled Severus towards the floo before he could get carried away. She fully intended to show him how grateful she was for his passionate defense.

With a satisfied smirk, Severus fingered the ring in his pocket.

In the back of the room, Molly carefully observed everything that was happening. Pleased, she decided her work here was done.

Now, if only she could find some nice young man for Hestia... *cue evil laughter*

A/N: Hopefully, you guys aren't appalled by the short length of this ending, or anything else about it. I have always hated ending stories, personally. Also, in case it was unclear, yes, Snape is going to propose to Tonks. Please leave me a review to tell me what you liked and what you thought didn't work in the story!
