Remus sighed standing up and looking down at her with a slight smile on his face, which he masked quickly. He didn't want to show anything of too much importance to her and give her the wrong impression. Remus was still bent on keeping his side to all of this, even if she knew what he felt.
"Oh Tonks, why must you keep your hair this color. You look more beautiful with your bubblegum pink hair," Remus replied thinking of turning around and leaving her presence and staring at the fire, maybe going to sleep soon. If one needed sleep it would be him, since in about a week or two the full moon would come up and he would get little to no sleep.

Tonks lifted herself from the couch and walked over to her bed. She now she actually needed sleep and could tell because she almost fell asleep on the couch while they were 'talking'. Tonks lifted her head but kept her shoulders slumped over, she worn out and needed to get back to her bed to sleep.
"I keep it this color because it makes me look sad and depressed and it works doesn't it?" she asked flopping on her bed for the second time that day, "Besides, it keeps Proudfoot, Savage and Dawlish from treating me like I'm the lower ranking Auror. Even if I am.."

Remus could tell she was quite tired by this point, so Remus decided a swift end to the conversation was in order, though he tried to think of a way to end it while adding what he thought of those idiot Aurors who thought of her as a lesser Auror.
"I guess that workds, but you aren't a lower ranking Auror, I mean Dawlish is Confunded a lot, and the others can be idiots.. just don't tell them I told you that," Remus replied and then smiled, "We should probably get some sleep, still have a good amount left for tomarrow."

Tonks nodded with her face still in her pillow. She really did need sleep, and could tell that he may've needed some too.
"Yeah.. let's get to sleep. We've still got about a days march ahead of us right?" she asked, her voice muffled.

"That is correct. Hopefully we might be able to turn off this magnetic field when we get to the pole, then apparate back," Remus replied walking over to his bed. He laid down on the sweet cloud that was the bed. Most people would say it was very uncomfortable, but compared to what he probably would be enduring if he went to the underground with the werewolves, this was bliss. Much better than the ground.
Remus didn't go to sleep though, thinking about things, including Tonks. Obviously he had made her happier than she was before, corrected how she though he was thinking about her. But at what cost? If she kept pressuring him, he might have to give in eventually and that was something he wanted to avoid. He was in love, deeply, and that made him want to not persue her even more, but tore him over it since he was in love and wanted to be with her with all of his time off.

(TIME SKIP!)
Tonks had been sleeping soundly the whole night and when, what she thought was morning, came, she woke up and stretched. Wow, how long had she been asleep? It felt like it had only been an hour but she knew time sped up when sleeping. She rolled over and fell out of her bed and kept saying, "Ow~". She'd hurt her nose when she hit the floor. She hope it was just bruising but she couldn't be sure.
Tonks stood and rubbed her nose. It was still warm and cozy in the tent so she went to the floor by the couch in front of the fire. Much warmer there. Tonks had on slippers, sweat pants and a baggy shirt. She was comfortable and that was all that mattered.

Remus heard Tonks get up, and of course she fell again. What was he going to do with her? Besides what he wanted to do of course. Remus looked up, having been awake the whole night, just thinking and not able to get asleep, but he had the energy like he had been asleep, so it shouldn't really matter too much.
Remus raised his head and watched her go over to the fireplace. He waited a few minutes as to not rouse suspicion he didn't sleep a wink, before he got up and walked over to the fireplace, thinking of making some eggs and bacon, but Tonks would probably get all over him for even trying to cook again after his terrible cooking last night, or morning, it all looked the same here. But he knew it had been about 8 hours since they had decided to go to bed. To be exact, 8 hours 43 minutes and 43 seconds.
"Good morning, Tonks," Remus said sitting on the couch, not close next to her, but on the other side of the couch, unsure if he should get closer or not, since she had spent about half a year, or more angry at him.

Tonks was continuing to rub her nose as Lupin sat down. Her nose was hurting and she wasn't sure if episkey would work at the moment. So she was trying to make sure it was just brusied. She kept facing the fire, still a bit tired but not enough to go back to sleep.
"Morning.. ow.." she said still holding her nose, "Touch the stove and Molly will kill you.. Or she'll have Arthur do it.."

Remus looked at her checking her nose for damage. Remus sighed and laughed slightly at her comment. Darn, he wanted to try again, though he didn't really mind, as long as they didn't fight and she wouldn't poison his food.
"What if I touch the oven?" Remus replied innocently with a smile on his face. He wouldn't really get killed right? Well with Molly who knew? Remus was just joking anyways, so hopefully Molly wouldn't be so drastic... hopefully.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Remus asked, "Could always try Episky, see if it worked." Might not, might work, who knew in this time, but it was certain that her nose hurt. Then again she seemed to be this clutzy all the time.

Tonks waved him away, she was going to try that later when they were able to use magic again. With out the glitches..
"I'm fine, I'll fix it later." She said, "Touch the stove and I'll kill you.."

"Ok fine..." Remus replied like a little kid accepting they weren't allowed to do something. Even scarier than Molly was Tonks. She was an awesome fighter, and much scarier when she was angry. Remus didn't want to make her mad, as he had done before. Then again Remus could fight her off if he really had to, and he wouldn't hurt her, just run and dodge her spells, because she was Tonks, and if she fell (which would probably happen) he would turn around help her up, and if she insisted on attacking, run again.
"So ready to head back out soon?" Remus asked. He was still wondering what they would find, probably just some phenomena by nature or something. Maybe something to do with Voldemort or something. Yet Dumbledore said it occured the same time the transfers arrived, which made him suspicious of where the transfers actually came from.

Tonks kept her eyes on the fire. It was dancing in her eyes making her feel calm. Her wand was on the floor in front of her and the fire danced oved it as well. Most people never messed with her in the morning, she was a bear with a temper. It wasn't the best combination, but it did mean that she shouldn't be woken up but that people should let her wake up on her own.
"Just so long as I get my cloak over all the layers I'll be ready..." Tonks said still facing the fire. She had bags under her eyes but that was just because she hadn't slept a lot for half of the year, but last night she had a great sleep.

"Good, we'll get to our destination today I hope, or really close," Remus replied and looked for his wand, which was lying on the table in front of them, probably having left it there last night before he went to bed. He picked it up and placed it in his back pocket. Good thing Mad-Eye wasn't there or maybe Remus would get a good talking to about his buttocks being blown off or something, but of course his protege was here too, so he just hoped she wouldn't mention it, though he didn't really care one way or another.
"I'll go get ready, then," Remus said looking at her before turning around and getting his coats and things to cover his body up and keep in the heat while they were there. He sorted through his huge pile of layers and choose the same ones to go in the same order as before. Hopefully his wand would still work slightly well as they neared the source of the stupid magnetic field, which would probably not work too well as they got closer.

Tonks stood up still messing with her nose. Well, she was bored... What was there to do besides put on more layers? Well, I guess more layers meant being warmer. Although, why did it make Tonks feel like a fat penguin? Oh right, because that's what she looked like..
"Good, if we can shut it off I'll be the first to apperate somewhere warm.." She said putting on another pair of sweats.

Remus chuckled to himself. Really it was terrible weather. At least it was not a blizzard. Oh no... why did he have to think that? With his luck it would start to blizzard soon. He always seemed to have bad luck. His two best friends had died, and his other friend betrayed him. He had a hard time trusting too many people, and well, he had such bad luck with it all. He was a werewolf, his friends either died or betrayed him, he couldn't hold down a job, and he was in love and refused to let himself have that love, since his luck would make it impossible to actually have happiness for too long. Either he would die, or something similar.
"Hopefully it works and we can find whatever Dumbledore wants us to find," Remus replied, finishing with his layers, "It's weird, if Dumbledore never sent us on this mission, well you might have always thought what you did about me for a very long time."
