Harry Potter Breaking The Chains

"I've seen that look enough on your father to know that it means you're up to something."

"Remus, I'm hurt," Harry grinned. "How could you accuse me of such a thing?"

"Well how about you, Harry?" Remus said attempting to shift the focus off of himself. "I hear you've been getting a fair share of owls coming in. You haven't been getting anything from the young Miss Chang now, have you?"

Harry smiled widely at the man's attempt to turn the tables. "Nah, we broke up months ago. I haven't thought about her at all this summer, but your defensive behavior is only confirming my suspicions, Remus."

"And what are you suspicious of?" Remus asked in return.

"Oh, no, I wouldn't want to embarrass you" Harry said with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes.

"Oh bollocks," Remus exclaimed. "Come on, out with it already."

His friend's behavior was only encouraging Harry. "Oh if you insist," Harry paused dramatically. "I don't know if you've noticed, but Tonks is a girl."

"Of course she's a girl…"

"Oh so you have noticed, then," Harry interrupted. "And you see, sometimes when a boy and a girl are grown up, they may find themselves becoming attracted to members of the opposite sex, or in some cases of the same sex."

"Honestly, Harry, I'm as old as your parents. I don't need a speech about the birds and the bees," Remus groaned.

"So you know all about your attraction to Tonks and what you should be doing about it then?" Harry inquired.

"Of course I know what to do about it," Remus shouted.

Harry abruptly burst out laughing. As Remus thought about what he'd just said he turned brick red, encouraging Harry to laugh even harder. He was soon rolling on the ground clutching his sides trying desperately to get in a breath around his laughter.

"Oh, you're not that funny," Remus half-heartedly rebuked. In truth he was rather glad to see the young man in such good spirits. The fact that it was at his own expense was just a minor drawback.

When Harry finally recovered from his mirth he adopted the sternest expression he could manage and asked, "So what are your intentions with Tonks?"

At the stern look he got in reply, Harry scampered out of reach of the werewolf, who took a swat at Harry's head, and doubled over in laughter yet again. "I'm sorry," he choked out trying to regain control. "I just couldn't resist."

"You're rather full of yourself today, aren't you?" Remus asked. "You're just lucky it's your birthday, or we, the victims of your fun, might not be so inclined to let you get away with it."

"Oh, lighten up, Moony," Harry said exasperatedly. "Weren't you one of the marauders? I'm sure you put up with far worse than that in the past."

"Well I won't deny that," Remus replied grinning in remembrance of his youth. "And believe it or not, I was known to give out as well as I got."

"Oh, I don't doubt it," said Harry behind a grin. "So you never answered my question," Harry commented. When Remus didn't respond he continued "What are your intentions with the young, Miss Tonks?"

"I believe that that is none of your business," was the reply.

"Fine, if you won't tell me about your girlfriend, you won't get to hear about mine," Harry bluffed.

"Tonks is not my girlfriend," Remus responded.

"Well what are you waiting for?" Harry questioned.

"She's much too young for me. Besides, what would she ever see in an old, poor, tired, worn werewolf like me?" Remus asked.

"So you are interested, then?" Harry asked seriously. Harry glanced at Remus and continued when he saw that the man was about to start raving at him. "Don't sell yourself short. Tonks isn't the type to care about your furry little problem. As for what she sees in you, I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask because whatever it is, it sure as hell isn't doing anything for me."

Remus half-heartedly glared at him. "You're entirely too full of yourself today."

"Well, better than being full of someone else, at least," Harry returned.

"I think if aimed at someone besides me, I could rather like this side of you."

Harry adopted the most innocent, childlike look he could muster, "Thanks Uncle Moony."
