A/N: Well I hope that you have had time to contemplate the dreams of the last chapter, because I assure you that they all have a purpose.

Thanks to the following for reviewing: Silverscale and jbfritz

Slash&Burn: Fate at this point is unknown, though that fact that it is aware and not happy with Harry is clear. As to whether or not fate has one or more forms that is unknown as of yet. Actually he left Ron in the future because he is a jealous prat that would have been more trouble than he was worth in the past since he gets jealous of everything Harry does. One thing I will point out just because Harry was there in his dreams doesn't necessarily mean he will be there if or when that event or similar happens. He might have been viewing the torture through his link with Voldemort for all we know from the dream.

potterfanforever: Sorry you don't like fate being involved, but it is part of the story, so you can either read it with fate or don't read it, because Fate is staying.

Skuld's Sentaro4: The traitor is the simple one and will be revealed in this chapter. The queen is a tougher one that won't be discuss for a while.

carsonsheir: No Bella isn't the traitor.


Chapter Four: Diagon Alley Disaster

Harry tried for a couple of days to get the image of Ron out of his mind. He just didn't want to believe that his friend was a spy for Dumbledore. Sure Harry would have suspected Hermione to run to Dumbledore if he was doing something dangerous and life threatening, but he would never expect Ron to do that.

It was the morning of August 11th and Harry was wide-awake lying in bed staring at the ceiling. Harry had been thinking about his problem when the image of the girl came to mind and her warning once again played out in his mind. '"Beware of the fiery one.'" 'Surely she didn't mean Ron' Harry thought as he continued to stare at the ceiling. 'There is one way to find out, and then I will know for sure. I just pray that I am wrong this time for if I am right I will lose one friend and gain a new enemy.' Harry knew that August 11th was Ginny's birthday, and he knew that this would be her ninth birthday, which meant that if his dream was real that today would be the day that Dumbledore would turn his friend into a spy.

Harry rolled off his bed and got dressed for the day ahead of him. "Ambrosia!"

There was a soft pop as the house elf known as Ambrosia appeared in front of Harry. "How may I be of service Harry?"

"Ambrosia is Tonks awake yet?" Harry asked as he finished tying his shoe.

"Not that I am aware of Harry. Would you like for me to go wake Miss Tonks now?" Ambrosia asked.

"No, that isn't necessary I was just wondering if she was up. Is breakfast ready yet?" Harry asked as he stood up and looked at Ambrosia.

"Breakfast shall be ready in a few minutes Harry, if you like I can bring it to you when it is ready."

"No thank you anyway, I will go to the dinning hall for breakfast and wait to see if Tonks shows up." Harry said and then he dismissed Ambrosia who left with a soft pop. Harry walked out of his red and gold bedroom and made his way down into the dinning hall where he had many meals since he got at the castle. Harry sat down and waited for Ambrosia or another of the house elves to bring his breakfast to the table.

Harry was about half way through his breakfast when Tonks came stumbling into the dinning hall. Tonks was clad in a pair of blue and bronze pajamas with a small eagle embroidered on the chest where a person's heart is located. Her pajamas seemed to be just a bit too big for her. The top kept slipping off of one shoulder or the other. Her hair was long, curly, and very purple, and it seemed to be more than a little messy. When Tonks looked him through still half-asleep eyes, he saw that they were as green as his own.

"Good morning Tonks" Harry said as he continued to stare at her. He now knew more than ever why he fell in love with her all those years ago. Even when she was half awake she was absolutely beautiful.

Tonks muttered something that sounded like "what's so good about it" as she sat down fighting to keep her pajama top from sliding off her shoulder totally.

Harry smiled as he went back to eating his breakfast. He wanted nothing more than to hug and kiss Tonks and though he knew deep down she felt that way too it was a bit strange for her to be seeing him as a ten year old. The first night in the castle Harry was sure that Tonks would want to share a bed with him, but she decided to take the blue and bronze bedroom instead, which connected to his. He figured even with her memories of the future that it would take some time to get back to the level they once were at. Not like he was dating her in the future, though he was madly in love with her nonetheless.

"Sleep well?" Tonks finally asked after getting through part of her breakfast and waking up more.

"Not really…had that dream about Ron again." Harry said as he stared at his bacon on his plate.

"Sorry," Tonks mumbled as she too took to staring at her food.

"I want to know if it is for real Tonks." Harry said after a long silence between them in which neither of them had touched their breakfast plates.

"How will you do that?" Tonks asked not really sure what Harry had in mind, though she had a good idea of what it was he wanted to do.

"Well today is Ginny's ninth birthday and if the dream is real then they would be going to Diagon Alley today. If we were to go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and just watch we could find out of it really happens. I have to know Tonks, I have to find out if my friend is the traitor I have been warned many times about."

Tonks looked at her plate for a moment and then once again looked at Harry. "Well I need to go to Diagon Alley soon anyways to pick up my school supplies, which by the way I still hate the idea of facing Snape for potions again! Anyway since I need to get them we might as well do it today and kill two birds with one stone."

"That's a great idea, and don't worry about Snape, now that he knows you are one of my followers he wont be like you remember and if he is let me know and I will take care of him." Harry said as he smiled at Tonks. "Though it sucks that I can't Apparate it would be so much easier."

"That's okay I can Apparate and if I remember correctly from my future memories you once Apparated me to your house because I wasn't able to do so myself." Tonks said and began to blush as she thought about that night.

Harry smiled back to that night, which had been the night that he had finally admitted to himself that he liked Tonks for more than a friend. It was a very good memory indeed and he loved having her lying on his bed even if nothing more happened that night.

They finished breakfast in silence, as both were lost in their memories of that night. When Tonks had finished she walked over and kissed Harry on the cheek. "I will get changed then we can go to Diagon Alley love."

Harry felt his heart jump a bit at her kiss even if it was on the cheek. She had been keeping pretty distant and the most she would do was hug him, so this was a sign that she was coming to get use to seeing him in this body, even if he was a lot older than what showed on the outside. It was times like this that Harry wished even more that Tonks had gone back in time with him to 1940 that way they would have grown older together and it would have been easier now in his opinion.

When Tonks finally came back she was dressed in blue and bronze robes and has short blue hair, but she still had the emerald green eyes that she had when she left. Harry smiled as he walked over to her. "So you ready to go my dear?"

Tonks smiled and pulled Harry into a hug. "Yep now I am." Harry took a hold of Tonks arm and held on to her as she Apparated them to Diagon Alley. Everything looked pretty much like it usually did, Harry knew that in less than a year he would have normally found out about this place, but was glad to be here now.

Harry had decided it would look a bit weird if Tonks was walking around with a ten year old, so he used the chameleon belt to change into his eighteen year old form. That way he was in disguise from being known as Harry Potter as he changed his hair color and hid his scar. He also knew it made Tonks feel more comfortable with him don't looking ten while she was shopping for her supplies. Harry and Tonks spent an hour or so getting all that Tonks needed for her seventh year at Hogwarts. As they walked out of Flourish & Blotts Harry felt a lump form in his throat and was thankful that he had changed his appearance for there walking down the street were the Weasleys.

Mrs. Weasley, Percy, Fred, George, ten year old Ron, and nine year old Ginny making their way down the alley.

"Percy you take Fred and George with you and get your supplies. I am going to take Ron and Ginny to get some ice cream you can met us there when you're done." Molly said to her older children as she led her younger ones down to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.

Harry now felt that lump starting to constrict his windpipe as he watched them head to the ice cream shop in horror. Tonks knew how he was feeling since he had told her all about the dream that he had involving Ron and instinctively placed her arm on his shoulder.

"We don't have to follow them." Tonks said in a supportive tone, though she knew that Harry would insist that they follow them.

"Yes we do, I have to know." Harry said as he pulled Tonks into the parlor.

Molly had just returned to where her children were seated and gave them their ice cream. Ron looked at his ice cream and then looked at Ginny's and frowned. "Mum why didn't I get an extra scoop like Ginny did?"

"Ron you know it is Ginny's birthday, so I treated her to an extra scoop like I did you on your birthday, so do not be fussy about it." Molly said with a bit of disappointment in her eyes. "I hope that the boys don't take too long I have to finish preparing for your sister's party."

Harry pulled Tonks over to a near by table and continued to stare in disbelief. Harry then mumbled. "Can you cast the notice-me-not still?"

Tonks nodded and then without saying a word aloud she cast the spell so they would not be noticed as they sat watching Harry's nightmare play out in front of them.

They saw Albus Dumbledore walk into Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. "Hello Molly so nice to see you." Albus said as he walked over to the table where Molly and her children were seated.

"Oh, hello Albus I didn't expect you to be out and about with school only a few weeks away." Molly said with a smile.

"A yes we have been rather busy, but I felt I was in need of an ice cream break." Albus said with a bright twinkle in his eyes.

Harry found it harder to breath as he continued to watch on in horror.

"Mum when do I get to pick out my present?" Ginny asked as if Albus wasn't there.

"Oh dear I forgot to stop by and get that didn't I dear. I am sorry Albus, but we really should get going." Molly said as she went to stand up.

"But mum I am not done yet." Ron complained.

Albus smiled as he looked at Molly. "Molly if you like I am going to be here for a bit, so I could keep an eye on Ronald until you return if you like."

Molly looked at Albus for a moment and then at Ron who was begging with his best puppy dog eyes he could, as he wanted to finish his ice cream. "Thank you so much Albus I wont be but a minute or two. I hate to keep you waiting, but if you could watch him I will return as quickly as possible."

"Think nothing of it Molly it will be nice to get to know the next Weasley to be attending Hogwarts even better." Albus said as his eyes once again twinkled brightly.

Molly thanked Albus and then took Ginny off to buy her present that Molly had promised to allow her to pick out. Albus ordered a small ice cream and sat down across from Ron.

"Are you excited about going to school next year?" Albus asked Ron as he looked at him eating his ice cream.

"I like the idea of learning magic, but I don't like the idea of all the homework." Ron said as he ate more of his ice cream.

"Should be an interesting year that's for sure." Albus muttered as he ate a bit of his ice cream.

"Why's that?" Ron asked.

"Well as you probably know Harry Potter will start school when you do." Albus said with a vivid smile on his face.

"Oh the wonder boy is starting." Ron mumbled, "Just what I need."

"What's wrong with the idea of you being in the same year as Harry?"

"Nothing except he is a celebrity and will be all famous and probably perfect at everything."

"Alas you are right he will be famous and I think that makes it even more important for him to meet the right sort of people."

"What do you mean the right sort of people?"

"Well I really wouldn't like him to fall in with the wrong crowd, I mean we can't have the Boy-Who-Lived running around with a bunch of Slytherins now can we?"

"Oh, suppose not, but what does that have to do with me? Not like some famous celebrity is going to want to hang around with some poor kid wearing second hand robes."

"Ron you shouldn't put yourself down like that. What if I were to make you a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

"I want you to become friends with Harry and make sure he stays out of trouble. I want you to report to me if he starts to act up or is hanging with the wrong sort of people."

"What I get in exchange?"

"How about I give you a hundred galleons at Christmas and another hundred at the end of the year."

"Wow that's more than I ever had in my life." Ron said as he thought about the arrangement. "All I got to do is befriend Harry and make sure to tell you if he is being bad and I get the two hundred galleons?"

Albus smiled and his eyes twinkled. "That's right my boy, and that is only for the year ahead. I will also pay you the same amount each year following that, provided you do as you promise me."

"Sure, I promise." Ron said as he thought about what he could do with that money. "I will do my best to make friends with him sir, but what if we aren't in the same house?"

"Ah yes that could be a problem, but as you are a Weasley I am sure you will be in the honorable house of Gryffindor, and since he is a Potter he will undoubtedly also be in Gryffindor as well."

"Brilliant." Ron said as he went back to his ice cream.

Harry couldn't take it any more now that he knew the truth and grabbed Tonks arm and pulled her out of the ice cream parlor. Tonks looked like she was even angrier than Harry did as he pulled her out of sight as Molly and Ginny made their way back towards the parlor.

"Let's go home." Harry huffed not really in the mood to talk in the open for fear of what might be overheard.

Tonks looked like she would have rather went back and cursed both Dumbledore and Ron to hell, but decided to do as Harry asked. She waited for him to grab her arm and then Apparated back to the Potter Castle in Scotland.

Once they were back in the confines of the castle Harry stalked off towards his room and Tonks quickly followed behind him. Once Harry was in his room he dropped down on his bed and looked angry enough to kill, but he also looked hurt beyond anything else.

Tonks sat down beside him and placed her arm on his shoulder to comfort him.

"How could he do this? He was my best mate for five years and now I find out Dumblefuck paid him to be my friend, so he would spy for him!"

"We knew that Dumbledore was capable of manipulating people to do what he wanted, but it still isn't right. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't watched it myself." Tonks said holding Harry close to her, as she knew he was very upset.

"They will pay for this! Both of them will pay dearly for this!" Harry said darkly as he laid his head on Tonks shoulder still filling the stinging of the betrayal he had just witnessed.
