Title: Life in Technicolor
Author: escribo
Pairing: Tonks/Meaghan McCormack
Rating: NC17
Notes: smut smut smut :D written for the Hufflepuff challenge




It had been a perfect day. They won a match. They actually won a match, and it was against Ravenclaw, which arguably had the best team in five years, except not because Hufflepuff won. Of course, they have Meaghan McCormack, who has already been offered a starting position for the Pride of Portree and nothing got past her.

Tonks looked across the sea of yellow and black in the Hufflepuff common room and watched as Meaghan laughed with her teammates as Emily tried to fit them all into a picture. Meaghan caught her watching and winked, and Tonks looked away, embarrassed. She was never embarrassed or shy or anything like that but she'd been nursing this crush for months, too afraid to do more than look. The funny thing was, the last few times she'd looked, Meaghan had always been looking back.

"Go talk to her," Leo whispered in her ear and she shook her head. "Coward."

"I'm not!"

"Are. She's keen on you, I can tell."

"Just because Professor Trelawney says you have second sight doesn't mean it's true."

"I predicted that we'd win today."

"You said that we'd win by 100 points and we didn't."

"We still won." Leo grinned at her, his brown eyes sparkling before he closed them and his face took on the appearance of a constipated hag. "And now I predict that Meaghan is going to come ask you for a dance."

Leo opened one eye and peeked at Tonks, laughing when she looked past him, her mouth dropping over as she watched Meaghan shake off her friends and start to cross the room toward them.

"How do you do that?"

"I told her you were keen, too."

"Leo!" Tonks whispered but her friend only smiled at her again before slipping off into the crowd and disappearing, leaving her alone with Meaghan who was suddenly in front of her.

"I like your hair," Meaghan said, and Tonks just nodded. She'd forgotten she'd turned it bright yellow for the match, and now she realized she probably looked sallow, especially as she felt herself blush. "I could see it when I was playing."

"I'm sure they could see it in space. It was just for a laugh."

"I really do like it." Meaghan reached up to brush the long, bright strands from Tonks' shoulder. "But I think your normal hair is pretty, too."

Tonks screwed up her face and changed it back to the short bubble-gum pink that she usually wore. They looked at each other for a minute before both laughing nervously, and Tonks looked away, looked around the room as she tried to think of something to say. She was saved when someone started to play loud music from a charmed record player.

"Do you want to dance?" Meaghan asked.

"I'm really awful. Nobody every wants to dance with me."

"I do."

"I'll embarrass you, step on your feet. Last time I danced I tripped over a settee and broke a boy's arm."

"We can go to my room." Meaghan leaned in, smiling softly, and Tonks could smell the soap from her shower after the match and the light scent of her perfume. "Would you dance with me there?"

Tonks nodded, blushing again but she didn't look away from Meaghan. Meaghan took her hand and led Tonks through the crowd of dancers and down one of the tunnels. The seventh year girls' dorm was at the end of the hall and was empty, everyone else at the party. Meaghan didn't turn the lights on but there was enough light coming in from the sun just beginning to set through the window placed high up in the wall.

"Sorry it's such a mess. Not much room to dance," Meaghan said as she shut the door behind them.

"S'all right. Can't hear the music anyway. I guess we could talk, or--"

"Or?"

Excitement rushed down Tonks' spine and she curled her toes in her shoes as she bit her lip and she turned to see that Meaghan was sitting on her bed. She patted the spot next to her and Tonks stepped over a stack of books and discarded clothes to sit next to her.

"Leo said," Meaghan began and Tonks groaned, burying her face in her hands.

"Leo has a big mouth."

"I'm glad he does. I mean, I've liked you for a while but you were always together so I thought you were a couple."

"Oh Merlin no! He's-- He's seeing someone."

"Charlie Weasley."

"Yeah."

"He told me."

"Oh! Well, he's like a brother to me, Leo is."

"That's good," Meaghan said and then laughed. She pushed her long brown hair over her shoulder and sat up straighter before she turned to look at Tonks. "I mean, I'm glad. Really glad, Dora."

"Me too."

"So, can I kiss you?"

"Yeah." Tonks looked down at her hands and tugged at the hem of her skirt. For a moment, nothing happened and so she thought Meaghan was waiting for her. She leaned in quickly, bumping her nose against Meaghan's chin. They both backed away, Meaghan laughing merrily. "I'm so sorry. I'm such a klutz."

"It's okay. Just--" Meaghan cupped her hand over Tonks' cheek and swept her thumb in a gentle circle until Tonks met her eyes again. She leaned in then, kissing Tonks. It was nothing more than a brush of her lips, and when it was over Tonks sighed happily, her hand coming to rest on Meaghan's wrist. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah. It's wonderful. Can we do it again?"

Meaghan laughed, leaning in to kiss Tonks again. This time Tonks kissed Meaghan back, stroking her arm before she curled her fingers into the soft cotton of Meaghan's thin blouse and tugged her closer. Meaghan needed no further prompting, deepening their kiss and pressing herself against Tonks. Meaghan's kisses were intoxicating and Tonks felt as though she had drank a bottle of butterbeer too fast, her thoughts racing too quickly to be caught, her pulse pounding as she slid her hands down Meaghan's sides.

Meaghan felt good--beautiful, Tonks thought as she sunk down onto the bed, pulling Meaghan with her. She wanted this so much but didn't know where to start, what to do or say. It wasn't her first time, not even close, but it had never felt this right, and Meaghan made it so easy, deepening their kiss as she caressed Tonks' hair, her cheek, her shoulder. Touched her breasts through her shirt, stroked her belly.

"Is this all right," Meaghan whispered as she dragged her fingers over Tonk's clavicle, following with her lips.

"It's wonderful."

"Are you sure?" Meaghan slid her other hand beneath the hem of Tonks' skirt, her palm grazing over Tonks' thigh.

"Positive."

They kissed again, Tonks darting out her tongue to trace along Meaghan's lips, to dip inside her mouth, to taste her. Meaghan moved her hand higher, stroking Tonks' inner thighs, sliding her finger over Tonks' panties to make her gasp.

"Still okay?"

"Yeah," Tonks whispered as she squirmed impatiently, bearing down to rub herself against Meaghan's touch. "Will you..."

"Anything you want," Meaghan whispered back as she pushed her fingers beneath the thin elastic of Tonks' panties, touching the soft, wet folds of Tonks' sex. Tonks moaned, pleasure coiled low in her belly, disappearing into Meaghan's mouth as she kissed Tonks again. Her fingers clenched into Meaghan's shoulders and she tipped her head back, exposing her throat to Meaghan's kisses. Meaghan rubbed her thumb of Tonk's clit in slow circles, increasing the pressure, sliding her fingers inside her slick opening. Tonks panted out her breaths, putting her hand over Meaghan's, pressing her harder, deeper. She whimpered, crying out as her orgasm overtook her.

"That was amazing," Tonks breathed out, still trembling beneath Meaghan's light touches and kisses.

"You're amazing."

"I'm not."

"You are. I've thought so for a long time."

"Can we-- Do you think we can do this again?"

"Is now too soon?" Meaghan asked and Tonks laughed, pulling Meaghan into her arms. It really had been a perfect day.

Oh, how lovely! I love that you kept Tonks' qualities as we know her in here, and let her be fun, and let Meaghan be so confident and calm, and both of them so pleased. :)
