Harry sighed as he collapsed into his seat for another supposed lesson of defence against the dark arts. Harry wondered how many actually had that stupid book, and how many had burned it as soon as they copied the cover onto a similar sized book. He couldn't be the only one who had done that.

As Umbridge plonked herself into her chair, the term; "taking the piss" came to mind. Just as Harry opened the book to his current page, a knock echoed from the door. Everyone turned in the room faced the door and saw Tonks stood there with a smile. "Can I help you?" Umbridge called.

"Yes. I'm looking for Harry Potter, I was told he was here." Tonks answered. At that everyone looked at Harry in curiosity.

Harry didn't know what Tonks was playing at , but decided to go with it. "Right here." Harry called as he stood up.

"May I ask what this is about?" Umbridge questioned.

"You may." Tonks responded before a the room fell into silence followed with Tonks smirking. More and more students matched her smirk as they caught on.

Umbridge scowled when she caught on. "What is this about?"

"As Lord Potter, Harry asked that I become the Potter's personal Auror during my time as a Auror. I agreed, but Madam Bones wished for me to clear a few thing up before she signs." Tonks casually answered. This caused murmurers to brake out through out the classroom. "Are you coming or what?" She asked Harry. Harry snatched his bag off of the floor and tossed his book into it, and began to quickly walk to Tonks. This reminded him of the times he was sent to the front office with the class register and missed a couple minuets back in primary school.

"Hem-hem. We are in the middle of a lesson right now." Umbridge called.

Tonks glanced at the other students and then back at Umbridge. "I'm sure Mr Potter can handle reading in his own time." Tonks commented. With that Tonks and Harry walked down the hallway leaving multiple students trying to hold back their laughter.

"Did you time it to get me just as DADA started, or was that a happy accident?" Harry asked as he walked beside Tonks.

"I timed it." Tonks answered with a proud smirk.

"So where are we going?"

"Well, I can't question you without another member of the DMLE present so we're heading to the ministry, because I conveniently forgot to bring someone with me." Tonks answered as she looked at Harry with a grin.

"You're the best." Harry grinned.

Tonks' smile grew a little more at that. "And don't you forget it."

The pair exited the Hogwarts wards and Tonks side-along apperated Harry to the ministry. Once they arrived Harry let go of Tonks and began heaving for a few seconds. "Hey! You didn't throw up!" Tonks grinned.

"Was I supposed to?" Harry asked with a slight anger in his tone.

"Not really, but most people tent to the first time they side-along apperate." Tonks answered with a shrug.

"Did you?"

"A little bit." Harry turned his head to look at her with a raised brow. "Okay, it was my entire lunch... and a bit of breakfast." Harry chuckled at that. "I was 4 okay!?" Tonks in annoyance and her hair turned bright red, causing Harry to burst out laughing. Tonks smirked and shook her head as her hair turned back pink. "Arse."

The duo walked through the ministry receiving multiple glances from passers by. "Wish I was a metamorph." Harry mumbled. Causing Tonks to chuckle.

"It dose have it's uses, but I got similar attention to what you do at Hogwarts." Tonks commented.

Harry was slightly surprised when they approached the office of Amelia Bones. "Enter." Amelia called after Tonks knocked. "Mr Potter." She greeted.

"Madam Bones." Harry responded.

"Auror Tonks wishes to be directly assigned to any involving the Potter family during her time as a Auror. This includes yourself, any children you may have or anyone you make a ward of the house of Potter. Understood?"

"Yes Madam Bones."

"Good, if you sign here, and Auror Tonks will be allowed to question you under veritaserum." After Amelia explained this Harry looked at Tonks.

"Erm..."

"Don't worry. I won't go off the script, promise." Tonks smiled. Harry sighed, signed his name, and then sat in the same chair his god-farther did only a few days ago. Amelia took the vials out of her desk and Tonks gave Harry the potion before taking a notebook and pen out of her pocket. "What is your full name?"

"Harry James Potter."

"What caused you to use a levitation spell before the beginning of your second year at Hogwarts?"

"I didn't."

Both Tonks and Amelia glanced at each other before Tonks continued. "Can you tell me what happened then?"

"A House Elf named Dobby who used to be employed by the Malfoy's, he was trying to keep me from Hogwarts, because he knew Lucius was up to something. So he levitated a cake to drop on a investor's head Uncle Vernon had around that day."

"That can't have gone well for you." Tonks commented offhandedly.

"It didn't, they locked me in my room, put bars on my window and put my food through a cat flap in the door. I was only let out twice a day to use the bathroom."

"But you got out." Tonks instinctively responded.

"Ron, Fred and George Wesley stole their dads flying car to get me when they suspected something was wrong."

By now Tonks' hair had gone from pink to brown, she just stared at Harry. Recalling all of Sirius' rants about Harry being left with his Aunt and Uncle. She thought he was just being dramatic. Perhaps not. "Auror Tonks." Amelia called. "We still have one more question."

Tonks looked back to Harry and swallowed thickly. "What caused the magical outburst before you're third year at Hogwarts?"

"Vernon's sister Marjorie was visiting for the week and never stopped insulting me or my parents when I was around, I did nothing because Vernon said he would sign my permission slip to go to Hogsmeade if I acted like a muggle during her stay. Eventually I snapped and lost control of my magic."

Tonks and Amelia just sat there, trying to rain in their thoughts. "I know what you want to ask him but, you need to give him the antidote first." Amelia spoke.

Tonks did so and patiently watched as Harry's personality came back. He began to blink rapidly, but a few tears managed to escape. "I wasn't expecting that." Harry tried to joke, but his smile was breaking fast. Tonks quickly pulled him into a hug, and Harry latched on.

"That's not the worst of it, is it?" Tonks softly asked and Harry held on tighter in response.

"I've signed the contract, now I'll give you a moment." Amelia spoke before leaving the room.

Harry slowly began to calm down and Tonks pulled away enough to look him in the eyes. "I promise you that you'll never have to go back there. I don't care if I have to adopt you myself." The conviction in her voice made it clear to Harry she was completely serious.

Harry quickly embraced her once more. "Thank you." He murmured.

"I've got you something." Tonks mentions. They both separate and Tonks pulls a necklace out of her pocket. It was a simple black thread with a stainless steel lightning bolt with both the front and back painted a bright pink. "The hound made us a way of sending messages to each other." Tonks mentioned as she pulled a similar necklace out from under her robes, but the thread was silver instead of black. "Tap it with your wand and then speak into it to record your message, and then tap it again to send. It'll get warm once it's got a message, and you tap it to play. So make sure it's touching your skin." Tonks offered him the necklace in her hand and Harry put it on and slipped it under his shirt. "Use it to get a-hold of me if Umbitch tries to question you behind my back."

"Thanks Dora." Harry responded with a small but genuine smile.

Tonks didn't let many people call her Dora, but Harry was now one of them. "Come on, lets dry your face and grab a drink before I take you back. And I'll make it perfectly clear to Umbitch that your under my protection."

Harry chuckled at that. "So this is what it's like to have a big sister." Tonks' hair regained it's bright pink colour and a large smile stretched across her face from the comment.
