Chapter 9
At Number 12
Harry Potter, Warren Greyblade, Nymphadora Tonks, and Severus Snape sat at the kitchen table in Grimmauld Place. Warren was busy healing several cuts and scrapes he had gotten at the battle. Snape was sulking at the end of the table, not meeting Harry's eyes.
"So what's this about Dumbledore putting you under the imperious curse?" asked Harry, breaking the stony silence.
"What is there to tell?" drawled Snape. "The day I went to the hill in England and meet the old bother, he must have gotten me."
"But I don't get it," said Harry. "You're supposed to be so good at protecting your mind! How could he have controlled you?"
"If Dumbledore wants you controlled, you are controlled."
"He wanted me controlled and here I am!" said Harry stubbornly.
"You are Harry Potter."
"So?"
"So? So everything! Harry, you are the only one who can kill Voldemort!"
"Harry. You said Harry? Not Potter or Scarhead?" muttered the boy in question, smirking.
"I was under the imperious! I couldn't control my actions!" said Snape. "I still don't know how I got out of it!"
"Ah," said Warren. "That was probably me. I shattered all of his imperious curses at the trial."
"Then I give you my deepest thanks." said Snape, looking ruffled.
Suddenly, Kingsley ran into the room. "Warren get in the kitchen now!"
Warren sighed and stood up. Tonks made to follow, but Kingsley told her to stay.
"What is it?" breathed Warren, as they got into the kitchen.
"It's Tonks's mom."
"What? Andromeda? What happened?"
"She's being attacked by Death Eaters."
"Oh bloody no!" groaned Warren.
He disapparated a moment later.

"Kingsley, what's going on?"asked Tonks, standing up when he reentered the room.
"Oh, um, er, nothing! It's just a little matter we need settled!"
Snape, who could read minds, looked at Kingsley sharply, but said nothing.
"Harry, I wonder if I might have a word?" Snape asked, pulling out his chair.
"Sure!" said Harry, and followed him into the next room.
"Harry, I'm sorry for the way I treated you all these years. I liked you father. He was a great man. I apologize for the things I said about him."
Harry stood stunned for a moment, and then smiled broadly. "That's ok, sir. You were cursed."
Both smiled rather uncomfortably, and then walked back into the kitchen. They came back just in time to see Warren pop back in, covered in blood.
"Warren!" shrieked Tonks, as he stumbled over to Kingsley, and had a whispered conversation.
Kingsley looked grim, and then nodded towards Tonks. Warren shook his head and said something else. Kingsley slowly turned towards Tonks.
"Um, Tonks? Well, you see…there's been an incident. I don't really know all of the details, but I know the general event."
"What happened?" breathed Tonks, as Warren started to heal his cuts.
"Well, erm…I don't quite know how to say it, but your…well it really comes down to the fact that, um…"
"Oh, just tell her!" growled Warren, fixing a broken bone.
"Fine. Tonks, your Mum was attacked by Death Eaters!"
The room went quite. "WHAT?" screamed Tonks, turning white. She threw her chair aside and got to her feet. "Is she ok?"
Kingsley turned to Warren, who glared at him before saying: "She is alive, but was tortured pretty badly. She should be ok in a few days."
"I gotta go see her!" Tonks said. "Where is she?"
"Um, you might not want to go see her yet." mumbled Warren, not meeting her eyes.
"What? Why?" asked Tonks, bouncing nervously on her feet.
"Well, the Death Eaters aren't particularly, er, gentle when they torture someone." said Kingsley, as Warren glared at him.
Tonks gasped, and vanished with a crack.
Warren sighed and told Kingsley to follow her. He disappeared a moment later too.

About an hour later, Tonks reappeared looking terrible.
"Oh, there, there dear!" soothed Mrs. Weasley, patting Tonks on the back. "I'm sure everything will work out!"
Warren glared at Molly suspiciously.
"You shouldn't be traveling like this!" she said suddenly, and rounded on Warren. "You should all stay here for the night!"
"I don't believe that is your choice to make," said Kingsley. "This house belongs to Harry."
"Of course they can stay!" said Harry, as Mrs. Weasley glared at Kingsley, who had just returned.
Warren looked at Mrs. Weasley again, then shrugged and sat back down.

It was late. Almost two in the morning. Warren was sleeping lightly. That was no big surprise, though. Since he was regularly attacked by dark wizards, he learned not to sleep soundly. He was fully woken by a terrified scream.
He, Harry, Mrs. Weasley, Kingsley, Ginny, Fred, and George all rushed into Tonks's room.
She was covered in sweat and thrashing around violently, all the while screaming.
"Tonks wake up!" said Warren, shaking her. "It's just a dream!"
She continued to cry. Harry looked horrified. He knew what it was like to have nightmares.
Warren swore and pointed his wand at Tonks. He muttered something, and she stopped screaming.
Tonks sat up slowly. "Every time I close my eyes, I see them torturing her!" she sobbed, clinging to Warren's arm.
Warren looked at Tonks sadly, while Kingsley put a hand on her shoulder. "It's ok, Tonks. She's fine, AND safe in St. Mungos. She'll be home soon!"
Tonks sniffed and closed her eyes again, still clinging onto Warren's arm.
"I Guess I'll stay here." mouthed Warren to the others. Fred and George smirked and gave him thumbs up. Warren rolled his eyes and made a shooing motion with his other hand.

The sunlight coming in from the small window in the center of the wall snapped Warren out of his daze. He groaned and sat up. Tonks was still clinging to his arm, which by now was hurting rather badly.
She stirred too, and looked at Warren. "Sorry," she mumbled, letting go of his arm.
"It's fine." he said, and stood up, shaking his head to clear it.
"Did you stay here all night?" asked Tonks, sitting up. Her usually pink hair was a drab black.
"Yeah, I did." smiled Warren.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." said Tonks, giving him a small hug.
"It was nothing." he assured her.

That day was spent mostly sitting lazily around the house, eating the food Mrs. Weasley made.
Tonks wrote to her Mum. Warren, Harry, and Snape practiced dueling in an unused storage room. Fred and George worked on more of their 'inventions' while Mrs. Weasley and Ginny talked in a corner.
When it came time for everyone to go to bed, Tonks looked rather uncomfortable. "Uh, Warren, would you mind…"
Warren caught on and said: "Not at all!"
Tonks smiled gratefully while Fred and George whispered "Lucky!" in his ear.
"One second!" Warren said, an after everyone left the room, he pointed his wand at Fred and George and said: "Transfius!" There was a pop and Fred and George turned into baboons.
"Well, goodnight guys!" Warren grinned, and left the two monkeys shrieking in the other room.

Warren was sleeping more peacefully that he ever remembered. So was Tonks. No nightmares had come that night.
Warren was rudely awakened by a huge CRASH! Being an Auror, he whipped out his wand and sat straight up. Tonks did the same.
A livid Mrs. Weasley was standing in the doorway. "Oh, I'm so sorry! Did I interrupt something?"
"Oh no, not at all!" sneered Warren sarcastically, not lowering his wand. "Just our sleep."
"Humph!" huffed Mrs. Weasley. "I would hate to hear what your mother would have to say about you sleeping around with older men!" she said to Tonks.
Tonks narrowed her eyes and glared at Mrs. Weasley. "Actually she does know! I told her about it, and she had no problems with it!"
"Well, Andromeda was not the brightest when it came to dating!"
"WHAT did you say?" snarled Tonks. "Did you just call my mother stupid?"
"No dear, I simply meant that you're too young to be sleeping with -"
"I'm twenty two! I can decide what to do! You're not my mother!"
"Oh, come now dear! He's using you! Can't you see that? He's probably giving you a love potion!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" shrieked Tonks, standing up. "We weren't even doing anything! Just sleeping!"
"At least until you so rudely interrupted us!" scowled Warren. "There used to be a time when people would knock before barging into others rooms!"
"This is MY house! I can do what I want!"
"Your house?" scoffed Warren. "This is Harry's house!"
"Well, if something should happen to him, it would be mine! I think I can go wherever I please!"
"Are you suggesting something?" snapped Tonks, looking furious.
"Of course not!" laughed Mrs. Weasley. "But unfortunately for you I -"
"Well unfortunately for you I'm an Auror! If you don't want to get arrested, then bugger off!" yelled Warren.
"No! Andromeda may be lax about your safety, Nymphadora, but I care a bit more than that!"
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY MOTHER YOU WENCH!" screamed Tonks, aiming her wand.
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT HER EITHER!" said Warren.
"And YOU!" Mrs. Weasley said, pointing at him. "You disgust me!"

The twins were standing in the hallway. The hex had worn off last night, leaving them fine, and wanting to ask Warren how to do the curse for their joke shop. They entered the hallway, but stopped as there were two loud bangs from upstairs.
Mrs. Weasley came crashing down the stairs and then onto the floor.
"Mum?" both twins said, helping her up. "What happened?"
"Those two fools attacked me!" she breathed, then glaring up at the door.
"What? Why would they do that?"
Snape came barging into the hall, and smirked at Mrs. Weasley, reading her mind. "She insulted them and Tonks's mother."
"MUM!" both twins said, looking horrified, and letting her drop back onto the floor.
"Get in the kitchen NOW!" she screamed. It's time to eat!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone sat around the kitchen table. Tonks and Warren both giving Mrs. Weasley icy glares.
"Ok, eat up!" Mrs. Weasley snapped, throwing down a ladle of porridge.
Both Harry and Tonks went to drink. What was wrong here? Wondered Warren. Then it came to him.
"Tonks, Harry, don't drink that!" said Warren suddenly, pointing to their goblets.
"Why?" asked Tonks, sniffing it.
"Snape?" asked Warren, passing the glasses to him.
The potions master sniffed and prodded at the glasses with his wand.
"They contain a powerful love potion. The effects are nearly irreversible. The Ministry of Magic banned the use of it about two years ago. This one that Tonks was about to drink will cause her to fall in love with Bill Weasley. The other, meant for Harry, will make him fall for Ginny Weasley." he reported, setting the glasses down.
"THAT'S it!" said Warren, standing up. "Molly, you're under arrest!" There was a bang, and ropes bound her.
"LET ME GO RIGHT NOW!" she screamed, struggling.
"No. I'm an Auror, and I have every right to arrest you!" Warren smirked.
"It wasn't me!" she cried. "It was Ginny! You can look! The potion is for Harry to fall in love with her!"
"Is that so?" asked Warren.
The youngest Weasley raised her wand, but Warren yawned and disarmed her without even blinking. "Oh goody, you're both under arrest!"
"Fred, George! Help me!"
The twins just looked at them in disgust. "We don't know you!"
"Well, that's that!" smiled Warren shiftily, and disapparated with the two Weasleys.
