"Ok, ok, settle down everybody" Harry shouted, addressing the large crowd of students who had tried out for the Quidditch team; tryouts had ended an hour before and Harry and Ron had been arguing over who should make the team. "We've got the new team roster right here" he shouted, "Ron and I will post it in the Gryffindor common room tonight for everybody to see."

There was a groan from the students as they all turned and left, heading up to the great hall to get some dinner; Hermione and Marie came down from the stands and Ron quickly put an arm around Hermione, practically dragging her back up to the great hall as she shouted good-bye to Harry and Marie.

"Hey there" Harry said in a cheerful tone as he turned and headed for the changing rooms, his firebolt in hand.

"Hi" Marie/Tonks answered back, bouncing along after Harry and taking a seat just inside the door to the changing room; "I heard about Malfoy getting expelled" she shouted at Harry who had headed to the back of the room to put away his broom and get changed.

"Who told you about?" Harry shouted back, locking away his firebolt and unstrapping his pads.

"Moody did, he talked to Dumbledore after the class was over" Tonks shouted as she stood up and headed toward the back where Harry was.

"Malfoy wont be around anymore, such a great loss for Hogwarts" Harry laughed as he pulled off his Quidditch robes; there was a whistle just behind him and he spun around to see Tonks, she had changed back to her normal form and she was starring at Harry with a hungry look in her eyes.

"Hey baby" Tonks whispered with a devilish grin on her face as her eyes slowly traveled over Harry's well-toned body only covered by his boxers. Harry gave her a smirk and make a big show off pulling on his cloths and school robes, Tonks stomped her foot in a childish manner as Harry walked right past her. She rushed out the door after him and headed back up to the castle, walking next to him and sliding her hand into his; Tonks quickly changed back into Marie Evans as the headed into the entrance hall.

"Jerk" she muttered playfully as they walked through the entrance hall, Harry glanced around quickly to see if anybody was around and suddenly shoved Tonks back against the wall. Before Tonks could even react Harry's lips descended upon hers in a fiery, passionate kiss, their tongues quickly tangling around one another in a fierce battle to dominant the other. The kiss was clouding Tonks's mind, so much that she didn't notice Harry's hand slowly creeping up her leg and under her skirt; Tonks finally broke the kiss, gasping for air.

"Harry" Tonks glanced left and right, worried that at any moment that someone would come into the entrance hall, or worse, the doors to the great hall would open, then the entire school would see them.

"Harry maybe we should go back to your room and I can………HARRY" Tonks gasped in surprise and pleasure; Tonks had still failed to notice where Harry's hand had traveled and Harry had decide to make its location known in a sneaky manner. Tonks was instantly back in that heavenly place Harry's magical fingers sent her, for a second she forgot exactly where they were and simply drowned in the pleasure of Harry's touch.

Tonks snapped back to reality, looking around and praying that nobody would walk up and see them.

"Harry………Please" she begged him, though she wasn't sure if she was really begging him to stop, or to keep going. Harry grinned and crushed his lips to hers, Tonks flung her arms around him, grabbing a fistful of his robes as she tried to keep from screaming. Harry slowly began to move his fingers back and forth inside of her, he instantly felt her react to him, tightening around him, her breathing rapid and shallow.

"Its thrilling, isn't it Tonks" Harry whispered in her ear as he pushed deeper into her, Tonks arching her back and moaning, longing to cry out but not for fear of being caught. Tonks's mind barely registered what Harry was saying to her.

"It would be so easy for someone to just walk by and catch us" Tonks whimpered as Harry picked up the rhythm, "Doesn't it excite you Tonks?" Harry whispered. Tonks opened her mouth to answer but could gasp as Harry slid a third magical digit inside her, Tonks bit down hard on her lip, pressing her face against Harry's shoulder to muffle sound of her moan that couldn't be suppressed.

"Oh God" she barely managed to gasped as Harry fingers found the one spot that drove her over the edge, she bit down into the material of Harry's robes screaming in ecstasy. Harry slowly pulled his hand from under skirt as they starred at one another, Tonks had been pushed over the edge and she still wanted more, that hungry look in her eyes more intense than ever.

Tonks starred down at the floor, leaning her head against Harry's chest, the color rising in her face, she could feel the wetness between her legs.

"I uh, think I head up to Gryffindor tower for a moment, I'll be down for dinner in a few minutes" Tonks smiled at Harry and tore off down the corridor, running as fast as she could. Harry starred after her for a few minutes before straightening his robes and heading into the great hall to have dinner, Marie Evans appearing a few minutes later, her face still flushed.

"So are you two going out tomorrow or are you just, going out" Hermione asked as Marie took her next to Hermione and across from Harry. Marie and Harry exchanged a look before Harry turned to Hermione to answer.

"We're just going to Hogsmeade for the day, that's all" Hermione looked from Harry to Marie for a second and glanced at Ron.

"Well Ron and I are going to Hogsmeade tomorrow" Ron looked up from his plate of food when he heard his name mentioned, "Why don't you two spend the day with us, I haven't seen you almost all summer Harry" Hermione asked with a friendly smile on her face.

"Hermione!" Ron said sharply, getting her attention and immediately dragged her into a conversation that had something to do with Quidditch, she tried to turn back to Harry and Marie a few time but Ron kept dragging her attention back to him. Harry raised an eyebrow at the behavior, Ron had never even cared whom Hermione talked to before they started dating, now he was purposely keeping her from talking to Harry.

Harry glanced across the table at Marie, he gave her a pointed look and nodded in Ron's direction as if to say, 'I told you so'. Tonks immediately recalled the day they had spent at Diagon Alley when Harry had said Ron would end their friendship just to keep Hermione to himself.

"Guess we'll be on our own tomorrow at Hogsmeade, eh Marie" Harry winked as he finally turned his attention to his food and began eating.

"So where do you want to go first Tonks?" Harry asked as he starred along the street at all the shops and stores. It was Saturday at long last and Harry and Marie/Tonks had just arrived at Hogsmeade, as well as hundreds of other Hogwarts students rushing around them to get to their favorite shops. Tonks starred around at all the places she'd been dying to go to for so long, she hadn't visited Hogsmeade since she graduated from Hogwarts, auror training and her early assignment had taken up a great deal of her time.

"Oh there's so many places to go, isn't there a really great joke shop somewhere around here?" Tonks asked excitedly, bouncing on her heels as she kept starring at all the stores.

"Actually there's a really great joke store that just opened here, those Zonko's people weren't to happy about that" Harry laughed as he recalled the name of the store that had opened recently, he had a parcel waiting there in fact.

They started off down the street, fingers entwined and occasionally stopping to stare at the items in the shop windows; they came to the new joke shop on the street, just across from Zonko's, and Tonks shrieked with laughter. At the top of the store was a large banner that read "Weasley Wizard Wheezes".

"Oh my god" Tonks muttered as she tried to suppress her laughter, she tried to imagine the look on the faces of the Zonko's people when there two biggest buyers opened shop right across from them. With matching grin Harry and Tonks strolled into the new joke shop, Tonks immediately dashed off on her own to look at some of the items. Harry starred after her for a second before heading toward the rear of the store where the counter was, two identical looking men with flaming red hair were sitting behind the counter.

"Well well well," Harry said as he crossed his arms over his chest and starred at the two men as they looked up from a piece of parchment at him, both grinning instantly; "Right across from Zonko's, I'm sure they weren't happy about that".

"Harry!" Fred shouted happily as he leapt over the counter top, grabbing Harry in a bear hug and letting go so George could try to crush him to death. "It's bout time you showed up Harry" Fred said excitedly, glad to see his once partner in crime again, "We've been waiting all day, haven't we George………George?". Harry and Fred turned to George, he had a blank expression on his face and was starring across the room at the girl moving along the aisle toward them, eyeing the many items on the shelves.

"Who is that" Fred asked as he too starred directly at the girl, entranced by her beauty and completely forgetting about Harry for the moment. The girl caught sight of Harry and smiled, rushing along toward him and stopping infront of him, holding up a small cube that had a different color on each side.

"Do you want that?" She nodded vigorously at this and handed him the cube, Harry grinned and reached into his robe pocket for some gold as the girl gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed off again amidst the shelves. Harry turned to the twins to ask how much the little box was and saw they were both starring at him.

"How the bloody hell did you ever get with a girl like that" George asked in a perplexed and jealous tone, Fred nodded, unable to speak as he was still in shock from seeing the girl.

"Oh you know, exchange student from Beauxbatons, she needed a friend" Harry grinned at the shocked looks on the twins faces.

"You seem to be a little more than a friend with her Harry" Fred commented quickly as he tried to see the girl through the rows of shelves and failed. Fred snapped to his senses and took the little multi-colored cube from Harry and rang it up, Harry dropped the gold on the counter.

"Er, Harry, about the………" Fred started as he pointed at parcel just behind the counter.

"I'll come back later for it, you don't mind holding it a while longer do you?" The twins shook their heads in unison; Harry grinned and went to find Tonks so they could go around to the other stores. As soon as they were out in the street and out of earshot from Fred and George Tonks broke down in a fit of laughter.

"So, where to next?" Harry asked after Tonks had finally stopped laughing, Tonks bit her lip and looked around again at all the places she was dying to visit.

"Oh! Lets go to Honeydukes" Tonks pointed down the street at a large crowd of students that were hanging around outside the popular candy store. "Then later lets go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink, ok" Tonks flashed a smile and grabbed Harry's hand, pulling him toward Honeydukes so they could fight there way through the crowd.

It had taken almost two hours but they had found a few things in Honeydukes and had gotten out of there, Harry loved the delicious food in Honeydukes but he hated the incredible crowds that were always there. After they had finished at Honeydukes they had tried to get into the Three Broomsticks but had found that it was over crowded and there were no more tables or empty seats at the bar. They had headed back to Hogwarts, but not before stopping off at Weasley Wizard Wheezes once more where, Tonks noticed, Harry picked up a large parcel and carried it all the way back to his private room in Gryffindor tower.

"So?" Tonks asked yet again, "What is it?" she'd been asking Harry what was in the parcel ever since he picked it up from Fred and George.

"We'll, you remember that parcel I got from Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley but never gave to you?" Tonks recalled the night when Harry had picked up the parcel, Dumbledore walked in as they were ripping each other's cloths off; Tonks just nodded.

"Well, this was it," Harry handed her the parcel and she immediately began ripping at the paper covering it, Tonks tore the top of the box off and gasped, her eyes wide with shock and joy.

"I don't believe it," she whispered as she gently lowered her hands down into the box, slowly lifting out a brand new firebolt. Tonks starred from the broom and then to Harry, a look of complete disbelief on her face as she examined the broom, making sure it wasn't an illusion.

"I'd gotten before cause I knew how much you like Quidditch" Harry said as he watched Tonks holding the broom, "and I had the twins go and get it for me because I thought you might want to know that the Gryffindor house Quidditch team is having a second try-out, there's still a position open for one chaser and one beater."

Tonks starred at Harry for a moment then grinned, leaping to her feet, "When are the next try-outs?" she asked excitedly. Harry looked down at his watch and then back up at Tonks.

"In about twenty minutes" Harry said with a grin at the shocked look on Tonks's face. "Ron and I decided to go ahead and have the second try-out tonight so the team will be set and we can have our first practice session tomorrow" Harry stood up and pulled out his wand.

"Some how I get the impression that Ron is going to be worse than Oliver Wood ever was" Harry laughed as he flicked his wand at Tonks, Gryffindor colored Quidditch robes instantly replacing her regular school robes that she had worn. "Lets get down to the field" Harry said as he tucked his wand away and headed for the door, Tonks rushing after him.

"So what position are you gonna go for? Chaser or Beater?" Harry asked as they headed out of the entrance hall and down to the field, Harry could already see the students standing in groups for try-outs.

"Oh I think I'll go for Beater" Tonks said with a mischievous grin on her face, Harry imagined Tonks being let loose on the Quidditch field with a small bat, Harry shuddered. Harry wished her good luck as she strayed away from him and over toward the group of students going for Beater.

The try-outs that night didn't take nearly as long as the ones from the previous day, it barely took half an hour, of course this was due to the fact nobody could try out for seeker or keeper. Harry and Ron spent another fifteen minutes sitting in the locker room trying to decide who the new chaser should be, there'd been two that had greatly out performed the rest; one of the two had greatly surprised Harry and Ron

"I say we just go with Neville" Ron said in an irritated tone, he was getting bored sitting there and missing dinner. Neville Longbottom had showed up for the second try-outs for the position of chaser and had done far better than anybody would have imagined. Harry sat and thought for a moment before nodding his head and crumpling the parchment that had the names of all the students going for Chaser and tossing it in the bin.

"Guess we need to decide on a Beater next huh?" Harry said as he reached for the second sheet of parchment, Ron grabbed it however and crumpled it just as Harry had done to the list of Chasers.

"You must be joking Harry, did you not see the new girl out there" Ron said as he starred at Harry as if he were an idiot, "She was incredible, She's like Fred and George rolled into one, and she's got an incredible body". Harry raised an eyebrow at Ron's last comment about the new girl that had tried out for Beater, 'she's got an incredible body?', why the hell did Ron say that, he shouldn't even think of another girl now that he's with Hermione.

"You sure you're seeing her for her talent as a Beater, or just how she looks?" Harry asked in a harsh tone he hadn't meant to use, but Ron didn't seem to notice at all.

"Well" Ron let out a laugh, "She is really talented Harry, but the fact that she's got the best body in the whole school certainly doesn't hurt one bit." Ron got up and started changing back into his regular school robes, muttering something about going up to get some dinner.

"You shouldn't talk about her like that," Harry said, remaining on the bench and starring up at Ron, "Your with Hermione now, she'd be upset if she knew you were thinking about other girls like that". Ron paused for a moment as he was fastening the clasp on his cloak, he glanced at Harry before turning his attention back to his cloak.

"Well Harry" Ron said as he dumped his Quidditch robes and pads I his locker and slammed it shut, "What Hermione doesn't know won't hurt her, will it".

"Do you even really love her?" Harry thought to himself, but some how this managed to slip from his mouth and caught Ron's attention; Ron turned to Harry and let his locker slam shut.

"Since when is that any of your concern Harry" Ron said, his tone growing cold at an alarming rate, nothing like the friendly voice he'd been using seconds before.

"Hermione's my friend," Harry said quietly as he rose to his feet, starring Ron in the eye, "That is what makes it my concern Ron. I hate seeing my friends hurt".

"It's not your problem!" Ron snarled angrily, clenching his fist as if ready to hit Harry, "She's mine now Harry, keep away from her".

Ron turned away from Harry and swaggered out of the room and back up to the school; Harry remained standing there for a while, wondering how Ron could have said what he did. Harry, not bothering to change back into his robes, pushed open the door in time to see Ron reaching the entrance hall, Hermione standing there waiting for him.

"You better not hurt her Ron," Harry muttered as he watched them head inside, "Or you'll get what's coming to you, I swear it" Harry slammed the door shut and headed up to Gryffindor tower, deciding to head to the kitchens later to get dinner, he didn't want to be in the same room with Ron at the moment. Harry set down in the Gryffindor common room and quickly scribbled down a list on a roll of parchment and tacked it to the wall, the students who tried out for Quidditch surrounding it instantly.

Harry retreated to his private room and flopped down in an armchair, starring into the merrily burning fire and wondering what would happen to Ron and Hermione.

"I knew the trio wouldn't survive their sixth year at Hogwarts" Harry muttered darkly, "But now I'm not sure that even a single friendship will be left by years end"; Harry leaned forward and starred into the fire, so many thoughts rushing through his mind.
