Phoenix and Fascination

Nymphadora Tonks doesn’t know what to expect when she joins the Order of the Phoenix. What she finds is a long-lost cousin, a house full of new friends, an assignment to spy on the wizard she fears above all others, and a growing fascination with another Order member—the charming and mysterious Remus Lupin. Will her efforts to attract him succeed, or is her fascination one-sided? What is the mysterious secret he seems determined to keep? And will she ever come to terms with her own dark secret?

Tonks helps the Weasley family move into Grimmauld place, and develops a growing fascination with the mysterious Remus Lupin.

The Order learns that Harry has been attacked by Dementors, and takes steps to bring him to Grimmauld Place--Tonks provides a key part of the plan. Sirius grows frustrated by his inability to help, and Tonks tries to cheer him up.

Retrieving Harry goes smoothly, but explaining what's been going on in his absence causes a row. Tonks get to know Remus better, and they go on their first date--or do they?

Tonks avoids Remus by stepping up her surveillance of the Malfoys. After a frightening encounter with Lucius Malfoy, she seeks comfort at Grimmauld Place, and finds herself sharing a dark secret with the very person she was trying to avoid.
