Tweak says, "You know you want to tap this."

Tonks, if you please (

Her eyes widened. Spend more time with this amazing man? Had she died and gone to heaven? She pretty much had to have, as far as she could decide. She gasped and tripped over the doorframe of the restaurant, blushed profusely, and fell into the older man. From anyone else, it might have been done on purpose. With her, though, it was just natural clumsiness. Not that she minded being against him, not at all.

"Oh, I'm so sorry..."

She righted herself and took a deep breath, trying to calm down. What was going on with her? She never behaved like this, not even on the rare occasions when she had had a schoolgirl crush on someone. This was weird, how she couldn't stop looking at him. She smiled at him as he pulled out her chair.

"I would love to learn anything you want to teach me, Elminster. And I'd love to teach you anything you'd like to know."

The innuendo was there, and not entirely by accident. She gazed at him as she seated herself across from him and propped her chin on her linked hands. She laughed softly at his assessment of the temperature.

"No, no. It's a muggle invention, called air conditioning. I heard some of the muggleborns at Hogwarts talk about it. But I don't know how it works, never did understand much about muggles."

She realized as she spoke, that maybe that's why she was so drawn to this man. After all, he could do magic, too. She wasn't alone. Of course, Ginny did too, but she wasn't about to be attracted to a girl she'd known forever. Maybe that was it?
