Arigazi: I'm glad you like the power thing, I've thought about it for a while and that darn rabbit is actually based on my own, she's conspiring against me I think. Movie, wow, thank you that's such a nice compliment.
Elrohir Lover: Cool lol, College is a little dull, tests coming up blah! And super Cara wooo lol.
Jenna: Aye, it is a little faster but I think that's a good thing (ponders). And I know about the update thing, I hate it too.

Chapter 11 – Tonk's secret
Cara sat with his back against the headboard in what he could only think used to be Sirius's bedroom, Harry resting his head against his chest as he slept, worn out from his mission.
Running his finger's through the ebony hair he stared off at a point on the wall, flashes of the dream's he'd been having lately jumping to his mind's eye. He couldn't help feeling it was connected to the current situation but as he looked down at the sleeping man curled up in his lap he wondered how anyone could defeat him.
He'd watched as this man burst into flames and towered over him as a green phoenix...not many wizards, if any, could do that.
Closing his eyes briefly he began to nod off when suddenly a knock sounded at the front door, followed by loud screaming. The werewolf smirked a little as he recalled his mate telling the story of the Lady Black portrait and how Harry had once, out of pure boredom, sat in front of her silently as he stared at her. Apparently she was very unnerved by the action, especially when he would hiss a little sentence in Parseltongue every now and again.
He heard muffled sounds of voices speaking in low voices. Straining his ears he recognised it as Remus's and Hagrid's.
"Harry?" He whispered tentatively into his lover's ear causing the man to give a little moan and stir a little before snuggling his head under the blonde's chin. He couldn't help but smile at the action.
"Love, I would die to just sit here all day with you in my arms but we have company." He whispered as he kissed the scar on Harry's forehead.
Opening one emerald eye Harry looked up at the loving look on Cara's face then opened his other and turned slightly to look up at his boyfriend better.
"I love you." He said simply which the young blonde returned as he placed a slow kiss on the velvet lips.
"We had better get down there."
~*~
"Gave me a bloody 'eart attack he did, crashing through me hut like that." Hagrid said as he sat himself down at a chair in the kitchen, Dumbledore making then a cup of tea. Remus grinned at the half giant as he pulled out a chair silently.
He looked up sharply when he caught the scents of his two pack members, gazing at the door as it opened to reveal a tired looking Harry and Cara who was holding his head to give him better leverage.
"'Arry!" Hagrid cried as he stood, embracing the young man tightly. The animagi choked a little as he laughed but Cara cringed before helping his mate up as the hug ended.
"Hello Hagrid, sorry to only drop in briefly." The darker male said as he sat himself down, the bushy man mirroring his action. Cara took the chair between Harry and Remus after he had hugged the older werewolf.
"Forgiven mate, but yer set Fang off on one." The man chuckled as the smiling Headmaster handed him a mug of tea.
"I wasn't entirely sure on what had happened at first." Remus said as he sipped his own tea causing the raven-haired male to blush slightly.
They continued like this as more and more Order member's filtered in, Harry laughing as 4 dishevelled looking Weasley brothers came in demanding he explain how he did that, The youngest laughing at their excitement.
The room slowly filled until eventually some people had to stand as they ran out of chairs. When everyone had arrived Dumbledore stood smiling a little sadly at them.
"You're all very good friends of mine but a part of me hoped we'd never have to come together like this again." A few people nodded solemnly in agreement.
"But we can't live on what could've been, only what is now. Thanks to both Hestia and Cara," The werewolf blushed a little at being addressed, "We have managed to receive an early warning...Every member of the Order is in danger."
People looked at one another in shock, some muttering to those next to them. Mrs Weasley tightened the arm she had around Ginny's shoulders causing the girl to roll her eyes but lovingly.
"The evasive Death Eater's who avoided Azkaban have regrouped and their main objective is to take out each member of the Order of the Phoenix, new and old members."
Cara gripped Harry's hand under the table and he received a squeeze in return.
"This is why both myself and our second in command Harry have devised this plan temporarily until a form of proper defence can be initiated. You are NEVER to be alone, you must always be in a group of two at the very least. We would prefer if you move into groups of four and stay at someone's house until the danger has passed...Any objections for this for now?"
Looking around everyone shook their heads at the old man, agreeing with the short term plan.
"Marvellous! We will of course be holding meetings here to plan further defence and, if needs be, attack. Please, for now just select your groups."
Everyone moved to talk to preferred companions. The Weasley family decided to forgo the four rule and just moved back into the family of 9 (Percy included although he wasn't present, someone would owl him the details) for safe keeping.
The groups then were as the following:
Mungdungus, Arabella, Hestia and Emmeline Vance
Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle, Sturgis Podmore (Who had been released by the Ministry) and Alastor Moody.
Hagrid, Snape and Dumbledore all stayed together at work anyway but now Kingsley offered to stay with them.
And finally the other larger group was Tonks, Remus, Hermione, Harry and Cara.
"Ok so it is now each groups responsibility to ensure that every member is well and accounted for. Arabella's group are staying at her house, Alastor's will be here keeping an eye on headquarters, The Weasley's will return home, My own back to Hogwarts and Harry's will remain with both himself and Cara at their flat. Meeting adjourned."
The sound of chairs scraping on the stone floor as every one stood filled the otherwise silent room. Harry held out his hand to Cara who took it in his, kissing his knuckles as the exhausted man leant a little on his lover.
Remus came to stand on his other side, slipping an arm around his waist as they made their way out, the girls flagging behind them.
~*~
They placed Harry on the sofa as the sun began to set, Cara sitting next to his collapsed mate worriedly as the animagi closed his eyes sleepily.
"Is this normal?" Cara whispered to Remus as his mate finally dozed off, the two girls gone to inspect the spare room. The older man nodded as he brushed a strand of hair out of the darker man's peaceful face.
"He's just simply running on low having burnt his magick core so quickly. He'll be rather energetic tomorrow I should imagine..." He smirked with a twinkle in his eye as he looked over at the blonde, "You may end up being locked in the bedroom with him for a while...cast a silencing charm."
Cara gasped at the comment as he whacked the laughing man's arm.
"You think I'm joking? Ask the girls what happened last time." Remus had a mischievous look in his eye that Cara couldn't help exploring.
"Hermione?" The blonde called still keeping a suspicious eye on the grinning man in front of him. The girl in question came into the front room inclining her head.
"Remus here says that Harry is magickally low but he'll be energetic tomorrow...what happened last time that this occurred?" Turning his gaze to the witch he found her to be blushing.
"Well, erm last time...well last time he was in school when he did it..." Remus was slowly cracking up as he watched the young woman blush but with a big grin on her face.
"He was exhausted as we lay him on the couch, the rest of the DA had come to Gryffindor tower to make sure their leader was all right..."
The older werewolf gave a little coughed laugh as he thought back tears of mirth, Hermione now seeming to follow his predicament.
"When he woke up the next morning," Remus was now silently laughing as she spoke, crouching to the floor as he recalled the memory, "it was like, like...well he wasn't the Harry we were all used to." She stated matter-of- factly.
"Instead we seemed to have acquired ourselves a VERY delicious looking sex god." Remus was in tears by now.
"I think it may have been his animagi side colliding with his normal male hormones and believe me when I say looking into those lust filled green eyes was enough to make anyone's knees give way."
Cara was listening, mouth open, as he absorbed this. He couldn't fight the grin spreading to his face as he listened further.
"Dumbledore came down and told us the problem, after we had locked a rather animalistic Harry in the boys dorms, and the only cure was...was um...was sex." She blushed more as she said it.
"Let's say that a stunned silence filled that room shall we. Problem, Harry wasn't in a relationship so we needed to find someone who wouldn't mind random intercourse. Someone who was able to handle a, ahem, wild night. Dumbledore knew someone and called them up."
At that precise moment Tonks walked back in munching on a bag of cookies. Both Hermione and Remus laughed harder as she frowned. Cara looked confused as he looked alternatively between them. Tonks too seemed a little off by it.
"What're you two laughing at?" She asked in a slow manner.
"We were telling Cara here what happened last time Harry had a burn out then became Horny McHorny." The witch giggled. The pink-haired girl paled as she looked a little embarrassed, then a rouge colour jumped to her cheeks.
That's when it clicked in the young werewolf's head.
"YOU?" He asked, laughing a little in shock. The woman's blush deepened.
"He was a friend in need...plus at 17 he wasn't bad looking..."
The other three laughed loudly, Cara still in shock.
"Oh my god, well did you..." He couldn't continue as he laughed.
"He was very good, yes, leave me alone," She said as she smiled a little, "Besides, it's YOUR turn so now I can laugh at you."
Still chuckling Cara wiped his eyes.
"Why would you laugh at me?" He said as she seated herself next to him, hugging him lightly.
"Because you ain't going to get NO sleep for the next day and I strongly suggest a silencing charm around the room."
Looking back down at his mate Cara stroked a piece of hair out of his face lovingly. He smiled slightly and never noticed when Hermione and Remus left until Tonks touched his hand lightly.
"Do you hate me?" She asked a little shyly, unusual coming from her causing the blonde to frown.
"Why would I hate you?" He laughed lightly, which seemed to relax her a little.
"Some people get jealous of...I'm not even sure what I am, a fling I suppose."
"No Tonks, I still think you're a good friend." He hugged her for good measure as they both looked down at the sleeping Harry.
"Prepare for a good night my friend." She said as she looked back at Cara with a twinkle in her eye.
~*~
AN before you worry, no Tonks will not cause a rift between the two boys, she was simply there to help a horny friend like any good person would...(coughs nervously).
