Whispers In The Dark
Changes Of The Seasons
It was dark. He couldn't see, he only felt the tug on his lungs.
"Harry."
He noticed he had his wand clutched in his hand. "Lumis." He whispered, finally bringing light.
He stood in a forest. How did he get here?
"Harry."
He turned around, seeing the one person he loved.
"Mom."
"Harry, listen to me. There is someone out there, someone who will stop at nothing to see you dead."
"I...I know, I overheard Tonks." He said.
His mother shook her head. "Harry, the Order can only do so much. You have to keep focus, don't let your guard down Harry."
Harry took a step forward. "Mom I..."
"Just be careful Harry." With that Harry's world turned to black.
Bellatrix awoke, head pounding. She slowly got up, walking across the cold bathroom floor. She didn't get much sleep, not that she ever had. The voices had stopped but she was still on edge. She sighs as she felt the dry blood on her toes. She carefully picked up the broken glass, looking at her reflection. It couldn't be any more of an accurate description. Not only physically but mentally she was broken, thank Azkaban for that. She never was a people person, but over the years she had changed, willingly or forced no one, not even she knew. Over the years she had grew more and more evil...more...alone.
"Mornin' Harry." He was greeted as he entered the kitchen by a disheveled Fred. His orange hair on end.
"Morning, sleep well?" He asked with a small smile.
"No." Came a raspy voice from the steps.
"George and I just came back actually." Fred informed Harry.
"Came back?" The young wizard asked puzzled.
"Tonks." George grunted as he leaned on the nearby wall. He nearly slid down.
"Woah, you and Tonks..." Harry said and disbelief.
"Yeah me George and Tonks, why so shocked." Fred asked.
"I just didn't peg you two to...you know...wow." Grinning ear to ear.
"Wait no...Harry no!" George quickly got up, now producing more than a one word response.
"Its ok, I wont tell a soul..." Harry began.
"Tell a soul what?" Came a voice from the steps. Tonks, now sporting long dark locks, walked downstairs. "I would've thought you two would've went to bed after our long night." She said winking at George and placing her arm around Fred.
Harry let out a small laugh, now pouring a glass of orange juice.
"Merlin." George sighed.
"So, you all had fun?" Harry asked trying to hide his smile.
"Loads, although my back is killing me, I blame it on Fred here." Tonks said.
"It was your idea, I told you we could do it another way but you wouldn't listen." Fred began
"No!" George began but he was cut off by Harry.
"Sounds like you all had a great time." Harry said before taking a sip of his orange juice.
"Amazing." Fred and Tonks said in unison.
This was the last straw for George. "No, not amazing!"
Fred and Tonks looked at George confused.
"Dont you guys get it?" He said, waving his hands.
Harry tried to hold back the laughs that was building up.
"George what..."
"Harry thinks that we had a threesome!"
It took a while to register, but slowly Fred turned pale. "What, No!" He said ducking out of Tonks grip."Blimey Harry, thats the last thing in the world I would do!" He exclaimed.
"Hey!" Tonks chimed in. Hitting Fred up side his head. "What do you mean, 'the last thing in the world you would do', I'm not good enough for you?"
Harry couldn't hold on for any longer, he burst out laughing.
"No I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying..."
"Saying what, that you would rather die than sleep with me?"
"Guys."
"No if I had a choice to die or sleep with you then I would sleep with you." Fred regretted opening his mouth the very second he finish his sentence.
"Merlin"
Tonks hair turned a violent shade of red. "Oh thats just great, lets see there's Voldemort,death eaters, burglars, petty criminals, bums, dirt, scum and riiight beneath a pile of shit there's me." She said grabbing his ear.
"I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying." He said, trying to get out of her grip, to no avail.
Harry toppled over in laughter.
"Harry it isn't funny!" Fred said.
"It...kinda...is." His twin said between laughter.
Harry couldn't seem to stop laughing at the situation. He needed this. No matter what has happen in the past or what s to come he still had his family. Though maybe not blood he still considered the weasleys as well as Hermione and Tonks family. Through it all, they were all there for him. Even with the pain he had the greatest medicine...Laughter, Love and Family...
None of which Bellatrix Lestrange could agree with having. She hadn't genuinely laughed in decades. Love...that died when she was branded with the Dark Mark. Family...all the family she had turned on her...The dark arts was her family now- and even that is slipping away.
She had to find the Dark Lord and regain control, only he can bring back her sanity- what's left of it.
The dark witch shook thoughts away as she grabbed her wand. Today she was going to seek out her Lord.
"I must find him." She whispered...
Thud
She clenched her wand, turning around towards the sound. A black owl had rested on the window pane.
"What the..." She scanned the small owl, it had a piece of parchment in its talons. Slowly getting up she took the parchment from the owl before it flew away.
Scanning the document, her dark eyes grew wide. "He has risen." She whispered, quickly getting her cloak she apparated.
"Morning guys, whats going on". Hermione slowly said as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Hermione help." Fred faked a plea as Tonks had him in a headlock.
"Lovers quarrel that's all." George joked.
"I give, I give." Fred said defeated.
Smiling, Tonks showed mercy, letting him go. She turned towards Hermione. "Mornin' Hermione." She said innocently.
With a raised eyebrow she greeted everyone. "You all are mighty cheery seeing that it is still early." She said as she walked passed George, getting a glass. She gave a warm smile to Harry."So, whats on the agenda today?"
"Anybody up for a game of quiditch after breakfast?" Harry suggested.
"That, my dear Harry, was what we three were doing last night." George said with a small smile.
"Along with other things." Harry said under his breath smiling.
Hermione looked at the others confused. "Do I want to know?"
Fred couldn't help but laugh. "Big misunderstanding."
Smiling, she shrugged. "What do guys want for breakfast?"
"Aww, Hermione you're cooking for me how sweet" George smiled hugging the younger witch.
She gave a small laugh. "Only today, Mrs. Weasley is coming down with a cold so..."
"Uhh she told you that story huh." Fred grinned.
Hermione cocked her head. "I don't mind."
They sat down a few 10 minutes later, eating and talking. Harry looked around relieved that everything was going in their favor but still, in the back of his mind was that dream he had. He decided to talk to Tonks after breakfast. Halfway through their breakfast Ginny Weasley came downstairs.
"Hey guys." She greeted walking straight to Harry. "Hey." She said softly giving him a small kiss. "Who decided to cook without me."
"I save you a plate don't worry." Hermione said after taking a sip of her drink.
"Say, when are you two going to tell Ron y'all two are together?" Tonks asked.
"Everyone knows but him." George chimes in.
"Before the term starts he will know." Harry said.
"Don't have long." Tonks said before taking a bite of her food.
"Oh by the way, Diagon Alley tomorrow guys." Ginny told the others. "Moms sick and Dad has work so..." She trailed off taking a seat she began eating.
"I'll take y'all, someone needs to keep y'all out of trouble." Tonks said. "Especially you two." She look to Fred and George.
"I don't think that's your only reason for taking us." Fred said, his eyebrows raised.
"Maybe to see a certain professor."
"A certain hot prof..."
"Okay guys, so anyone up for quiditch?" Tonks offered, dying to change the subject.
Harry smiled.
"What do ya say Harry, up for a game?" Ginny asked.
"Yea, I'll meet you guys out in a few, Tonks can I have a word with you?"
"Sure."
The two sat side by side as the others went to get ready.
"Last night I had a dream, my...my mom was telling me that...someone was out there."
"Yeah."
"She said the Order couldn't protect me from--."
"Harry, the Order will protect you, you are in safe hands. Trust me." Tonks assured Harry, although her herself wasn't to satisfied. It was true someone was out there, someone so powerful... The Order was powerful no doubt but she...she was more powerful.
