TITLE: First kiss PG
FOR: CakeOrDeath
SHIP: Tonks/Hermione
AUTHOR'S NOTES: I found it really difficult to get a grip on Tonks' voice. And sorry this is late. RL caught up with me. At some point, post OotP pre end of war.
The wind howled and a draught caused a far away door to slam. Even this noise almost shattered the deathly quiet of Grimmauld Place. Hermione felt uneasy and desperately wished for some company. There wasn't an Order meeting for another week, Harry had been holed up goodness knows where with Snape until all hours of the day and the Weasley clan were at the Burrow packing as they were moving lock stock and barrel into the old Black house.
A loud crash in the hallway followed by muffled swearing jolted her out of her thoughts. She shook her head in amusement as she went to help Tonks to pick up the scattered umbrellas and to quieten the shrieks of Mrs Black. Tonks had never acquired the knack of arriving unannounced here. Hermione wondered whether it was because she never quite knew where her arms and legs were.
They moved into the kitchen and Hermione's stomach tightened as she wondered how to word her request. Lost in her thoughts, she missed what Tonks had asked her and looked blankly at her. "I asked if you fancied a cup of tea. Arthur mentioned that you seemed a bit lonely these last few days."
Hermione mumbled an agreement and they settled in companionable silence. Before she knew what she was doing, Hermione blurted "Can I ask a question? You can say no and it's not really important." A smile twitched at the corners of Tonks' mouth as she nodded. "Canyouteachmehowtokiss?" Hermionie blushed and suddenly found the table very interesting. She glanced up through her eyelashes and was confronted with a cocked eyebrow. "It's just that Viktor was the only person who's shown any interest and he kisses like my grandmother" A slight snort of laughter gave her the courage to continue. "I want to know what it feels like and I can't ask Ron or Harry because they'll get the wrong idea and Ginny told me to ask you because she did and ..." Hermione didn't finish what she was saying as Tonks had leaned over and cut her off. She tasted of tea and biscuits and lip gloss and for the first time Hermione didn't know what to think.
Tonks pulled back and blue eyes met brown. "That was your first kiss. Do you want more practice?"
