(A/N) This is my first Harry Potter fic, and normally I'm a fan of the Harry x Luna couple, but I thought it'd be fun to write a Harry x Tonks fic! Now, it takes place during the summer holiday before Harry's sixth year.

Originally, this was meant to be a one-shot, but I couldn't find a way to make it short enough...so I'll put this one chappie up, wait a couple of days so I can get some reviews, then I'll put the next one up...

Read and review!...plz?

Wotcher!
Harry Potter was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, simply staring. It was late, Hedwig was out hunting, the Dursleys were away for the weekend, and they had amazingly given Harry permission to stay in the house, they had also given him permission to eat what was in the fridge, it was hardly anything edible there though. Harry sighed heavily; it was now a week left until he was supposed to go back to Hogwarts, and he still couldn't get over the fact that Sirius had died because of him, he also couldn't get over the fact that Dumbledore had insisted on him staying with his aunt and uncle for the entire summer. Harry groaned, he needed a break from his endless thinking. He heaved himself out of bed, grabbed his jacket and left his room; he walked downstairs and into the living room. He took a bottle of vodka from uncle Vernon's liquor shelf; they would probably think it was Dudley again, and as always when Dudley did something inappropriate; they would deny it. Harry took advantage of this,and every once in a while he wouldsneak out with one of uncle Vernon's vodka bottles to get his mind off things.
Harry grabbed his key and left the house.

There were hardly any people out at this time of the hour; it was around eleven. A warm breeze muffled up his already untidy raven black hair; it was quite refreshing, he thought.
He walked into the park and slumped down on a park bench; he opened the bottle and took a swig. The liquor didn't taste anything until it slid down his throat, burning its way to his stomach.

'Good stuff.' Harry thought amusedly as he took another swig.

He sat there for about fifteen minutes, watching the few people walking by; an old man with a very small dog, a small group of girls around his age who giggled slightly as they looked at him, and a woman around the age of forty who dripped as she stepped up on the sidewalk.

Harry chuckled, 'Little Whinging…' He thought and took another swig of the Vodka.

"Wotcher young man," Said a voice.

Harry was slightly startled as he looked at the source of the voice; the woman who had tripped when she walked up on the sidewalk was standing on his right, next to the park bench.

"Aren't you a little too young to sit out here drinking, boy?" The woman asked.

Harry stared at her for a moment, but then he chuckled and shook his head.

"Whatever Tonks." He said and took yet another swig of the bottle.

The woman's eyes widened as she stared at Harry with a surprised look on her face. She looked around a little, as if to make sure nobody was watching, but then her face changed, making her look a about twenty years younger, her hair changed from slightly grey to pink.

"How'd you know it was me?" She asked as she slumped down next to him.

"You're the only one I know who's clumsy enough to trip while walking up a sidewalk," Harry said. "You're also the only on I know who says 'wotcher'….and uh…the shirt kind of gave you away…" He indicated to the 'Weird sisters' T-shirt Tonks wore under her brown coat.

"Oh." Tonks said and looked at her shirt, she shook her head and turned back to Harry. "So, how's your summer been?"

"Haven't you read the letters I keep sending the order?" Harry asked, without looking at her.

Tonks shrugged. "Not entirely, I've been dispatched to watch over you all summer." She said the last part with a rather proud look on her face. "Except for during the night, Remus or Mundungus usually watches you then. Dumbledore got me an apartment downtown."

Harry chuckled and took another gulp of vodka. "Don't you have work to do?" He asked. "Like, with the ministry, you know, Auror stuff?"

"Nope, I've got the whole summer off," Tonks said. "So I volunteered to keep an eye on you, and I must say Harry, that I'm rather disappointed with you." She crossed her arms and stared at him with a rather mock lecturing look on her face.

"Oh yeah?" Harry said in a low voice that told her he couldn't care less.

"Yes, your muggle family has been treating you badly and you haven't written anything like that in your letters!" Tonks said.

Harry shrugged. "I don't really care how they treat me, it's not that bad."

"Oh, come of it Harry!" Tonks said and threw her arms up. "Nobody should have to take the pranks your cousin and his friends are pulling at you!"

"Nah, I've been putting up with it my whole life, I don't care anymore." Harry said smugly.

"So instead of telling us about it you just sit around drowning your sorrows in-" She checked the sign on the bottle. "-Vodka?"

"The fact that people are 'mistreating' mehas got nothing to do with this." Harry said and motioned towards the bottle in his hand.

"Then why are you drinking?" Tonks demanded.

Harry was silent for a moment before speaking. "I've got a lot on my mind, that's all."

Tonks sighed; she knew very well what he was thinking. She took the bottle from Harry and took a big swig of it before handing it back to him.

"That's it." She said and stood up, pulling Harry with her, making him drop the bottle. "We're going over to your place."

"Huh?" Harry didn't understand.

"I'm not supposed to bring you back to Hogwarts before next week," Tonks said. "But no matter what Dumbledore says, you need to have a good time."

"What're you-"

"Now, we're going to your aunt and uncle's house, pack your stuff, leave a note, then we spend the night in my apartment, and tomorrow we're off for a little road-trip!" Tonks said and beamed at him as she kept dragging him towards Privet drive.

Harry just stared at her, then he blinked and said "Thanks Tonks, but no thanks."

She whirled around and took him by the shoulders. "Don't you give me that Mr Potter," She said with a sweet smile. "From what I've seen your summer has been terrible, and I'm determined to make sure you have atleast one good time before term starts." And with that she grabbed his hand and continued dragging him towards Privet drive.

When they got there, Harry unlocked the door and walked inside, Tonks following close behind.

"Okay," Tonks said brightly. "You scribble down a note telling them you're with me and that you'll see them next summer, I'll go upstairs and pack your stuff!"

Harry sighed as Tonks ran up the stairs. He walked into the kitchen and took a pen and some paper from a drawer and scribbled down a quick note.

Aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, Dudley.

I'll be spending this week with a friend of mine; Nymphadora Tonks, I think you remember her; she was at the station when I came back from school, the girl with pink hair.
Anyways, she'll take me too school next week. I'll probably be back next summer.

Harry Potter.

He left the note at the kitchen table, chuckling at the thought of how they would react when they remembered Tonks. 'Might as well se howshe's doing.' He thought as he left the kitchen. He walked up the stairs and into his room to find Tonks examining a pair of his boxer shorts. Hedwig had just gotten back from her hunt and was eyeing her curiously.

"Oooh, black silk!" Tonks winked at Harry. "Very nice." She smiled and eyed the underwear thoughtfully.

"Very funny." Harry said and snatched the boxers from her hands and threw them in his trunk.

Tonks pouted. 'He's not blushing.' She thought disappointedly. 'No fun.'

One thing about Tonks is that she loved to embarrass people, but it seemed it didn't work with Harry.

Harry started to throw random stuff into his trunk. Tonks sighed and smiled as she shook her head. "Harry, haven't you learned that it's way more convenient to let me...pack?" She asked as she waved her wand, making all Harry's books and clothes fly into his trunk.

Harry couldn't help but smile slightly. "I forgot."

Tonks smiled brightly. "Not to worry! All set?"

Harry shrugged. "I guess so." He walked over to Hedwig and stroked her feathers; he picked her up and placed her inside of her cage.

"Great!" Tonks beamed at him. "I'll take the trunk, you take Hedwig." She tried to pull the trunk of off the bed, but it barley budged. She grabbed onto it with both of her hands and pulled.

"Ow!" She squeaked as the trunk fell from the bed and onto her foot.

"You okay?" Harry asked and kneeled in front of her as she rubbed her sore foot.

"Yeah…" Tonks said meekly and forced a smile. 'Great, now he's gonna think I'm week.'

"Maybe I should take the trunk," Harry said and smiled, he handed Tonks Hedwig's cage. "You take Hedwig."

"Alright."

The walk to Tonks apartment took about half an hour; the building looked as if only very, very rich people would be able to keep an apartment there.

After they stepped into the doors and walked up three floors, Tonks stopped in mid-tracks.

"Oh, almost forgot!" She said and turned to face Harry. "Harry, think about something happy, like why you're here."

Harry stared at her. "I was actually just about to ask youa question like that." He said. "Why am I here?"

Tonks rolled her eyes. "To have fun of course!"

"To have fun?"

"Yes, now think about having fun with me and watch that wall." She pointed towards the wall right next to Harry.

Harry stared at the bright red wall, feeling slightly stupid. He imagined himself sitting in some fancy apartment sharing a laugh with Tonks; it wasn't that hard to imagine happiness, that might be because he actually managed to perform the patronus charm. Suddenly a door appeared on the wall. Harry stared at it, wide-eyed. Tonks giggled at his expression.

"It's a safety charm." She said brightly. "Dumbledore figured I might bring you over here sometime so he made sure that nobody with bad intentions would ever be able to find my apartment."

"What if the person would find the thought of killing someone as a happy though?" Harry asked and raised an eyebrow.

"That would only make that person happy, not the one being killed," Tonks stated. "You have to want happiness for everyone in the apartment."

She unlocked the door with her wand and held it open for Harry who stepped in. It was a rather big apartment; the tapestry was bright red, just like the corridor outside. They were currently standing in a hallway that was directly connected to the living room. To Harry's right there was a door leading into the bathroom, to his left there was a room filled with piles of clothes, magazines, a few books, and a whole lot of other things, probably souvenirs.

'Heh, girls…' Harry thought. There was a door further down the hall, but it wasclosed so Harry couldn't see what was in there.

"Put the trunk over here!" Tonks said and placed Hedwig's cage on a small table next to the bathroom before walking into the living room; Harry complied. There was a small black-leathered couch in the corner of the living room with a table separating it from the TV that wasstanding almost in the middle of the room. There was also an Arabian looking carpet covering almost the entire room.

The kitchen entrance was right across from the hall, and next to the couch in the living room was a door leading into what seemed to be Tonks bedroom.

Harry was amazed by all the things Tonks seemed to have crammed into the apartment, the walls were covered by shelves full of small sculptures and urns, there were plants practically everywhere. All in all nobody would expect this apartment to belong to a witch, but then again; Tonks dad was muggle-born after all.

"So," Harry said as he followed Tonks into the kitchen. "What now?"

"We're gonna have fun!" Tonks said brightly. "I'm gonna make some popcorn, go turn the TV on, there's a Chris Rock show on tonight."

"You got cable?" Harry asked wide-eyed.

"Of course!" Tonks said turned to him, smiling. Harry just chuckled and shook his head as he removed his jacket and went into the living room to slump down on the couch. He turned the TV on and found that there were quite a lot of channels to choose from. After a little channel flashing he found the show Tonks wanted to see. Tonks came into the living room with a bucket of popcorn, unfortunately she tripped over her own feet and the bucket flew out of her hands and Harry was covered in popcorn, she quickly cleaned it up with her wand.

"Sorry 'bout that, what'd I miss?" She asked.

"Nothing much…" Harry said lamely. "Just a couple of weird jokes."

"Well, it is Chris Rock after all!" Tonks said cheerfully.

Soon Harry found himself sitting there laughing together with Tonks at all these 'weird jokes'. After the show Tonks pulled out a wizard chess, and Harry was amazed that he had found someone who was equally bad at this game as he was. After a couple of rounds however they were pretty tired.

"Bedtime." Tonks yawned as she stood up and stretched.

"Yeah." Harry said and tried to make himself comfortable on the couch, Tonks noticed this.

"You're not planning on sleeping on the couch are you?" She crossed her arms and smiled slyly at him. Harry shrugged.

"Unless you have a guestroom."

"I was actually planning on conjuring a bed for you." Tonks stated.

"And where would you place it?" Harry asked with a smirk.

"Well…uhm…" Tonks looked around, there really wasn't any room for her to conjure a bed, she simply had too much stuff everywhere.

Harry sighed. "Look, just get me a blanket and I'll sleep here."

"No way!" Tonks said immediately. "Do you have any idea of how uncomfortable it is to sleep on that couch?"

"I've slept at worse places than this." Harry said and shrugged.

Tonks sighed and cursed those Dursleys for what they put Harry through, her eyes travelled to her bed in the bedroom, a sly smile tugged at her face. "You are not sleeping on the couch." She stated simply as she grabbed his hand and pulled him off of the couch andinto the bedroom. With a swish of her wand she made the bed slightly bigger, well, as big as the space of the room allowed her to. She removed the giant teddy bear that was lying on the bed and said "You stay on your side, and I stay on my side."

Harry stared at her for a second. "No thanks." He made to walk back to the couch but Tonks quickly ran up to him and grabbed his hand again.

"My house, my rules." She said and pulled him back into the room. "You're not afraid I might see your underwear again are you?" She winked at him.

Harry stared at her for a second, but then he chuckled and said "You should be more concerned with the fact that I might se your underwear."

Tonks giggled. "What if I want you to see my underwear?"

Harry blushed and looked away.

'Am I flirting with him?' Tonks thought to herself. 'Oh well, he's flirting right back so…oh he's so cute when he's blushing!'

"Anyways," She said. "I'm gonna go change, so make yourself comfortable." She winked as she said the last part.

As Tonks disappeared into the bathroom Harry fell back on the bed and groaned.

'She's way too old for you mate…' He told himself.

'Six years ain't that much.' Argued a voice in his back.

'Com off it!' He argued back. 'She's not interested in me anyway.'

'But she's flirting with you.'

'That's just to make me blush, Tonks love to embarrass people!'

'…Then why are you flirting back?'

'I'm not!'

'Yes you are.'

He mentally slapped himself. He stood up and removed his t-shirt and his socks, he kept his pants on. 'I'm not giving her the satisfaction.' He thought.

Tonks came out a minute later, wearing nothing but her panties and a T-shirt that almost reached down to her knees. When she saw Harry she crossed her arms and smirked. 'Wow, he's pretty well-built for a sixteen year old,' She thought. 'Must be the quidditch.'
"Harry, Harry, Harry…" She shook her head. "Don't you know that descent people sleep without pants?"

"I wasn't aware of that." Harry said in mock realization as he raised his eyebrows.

Tonks smirked and with a flick of her wand she pulled off Harry's pants.

"Hey, whoa!" Harry yelled as his pants flew out of the bedroom and landed on a chair in the living room. "What was that for?" He demanded.

Tonks shrugged. "Sleeping in you pants is hardly comfortable, and I am determined to make your stay here very comfortable." She winked at him, Harry blushed again.

'Dammit! I'm doing it again,' Tonks thought. 'I'm flirting with him.'

She giggled. "Aww, you're so cute when you're blushing!"

"Ha ha, very funny." Harry said sarcastically as he blushed even more when he crept under the blankets.

Tonks shruggedas shetoo crept into bed, and with another flick of her wand she put the lights out.

"Good night Harry!" She said.

"Night." Harry mumbled.

'He really is cute.' Tonks thought to herself.

'For Merlin's sake woman,' her inner voice interrupted. 'He's six years younger than you!'

'I know, but he's so mature for his age!' Tonks argued back. 'He's funny, handsome, brave, and he's sooo cute!'

'Okay, assume you two got together,' the voice said. 'How do you think people would think of you?'

'Do I look like a person who cares what other people think?'

'….good point.'

'Hah!'

(A/N) I know! Harry seems to be slightly alcoholic, but that's not the case!
And about the Chris Rock show(love that guy); I wasn't sure if they showed his shows in England so I just wrote that Tonks had cable, to make it clear that she could watch American shows.

Anyways, I'll put the next chappie up soon...so will ya please review?
