Harry Potter and the Kedavra Bond
Disclaimer: Nope! I don't own any part of Harry Potter!!! Go ask JK Rowling if you want to know!!!!!
Quote:
Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides.
"So — after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating — "
"Jordan!" growled Professor McGonnagal.
"I mean, after that open and revolting foul — "
"Jordan, I'm warning you — "
"All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure, so a penalty to Gryffindor..."

Harry Potter and the Kedavra Bond
Chapter 10
The rest Harry's summer went by in a daze. Both Snape and Lupin had stayed the remainder of the holiday with. Snape forcing potions down his throat every waking hour of the day, and Lupin was caring and gentle. Harry was reminded strangely of the a muggle 'good cop' 'bad cop' act.
Ron and Hermione had come over for occasional visits and walks into town, always accompanied by an Order Member. Mainly Tonks or Lupin came... or both for that matter.
Lupin and Tonks had been acting very odd, since the will ordeal. Mrs. Weasley called it 'Marriage Jitters' while Ron called it 'Bloody annoying' or even 'Disgusting'. Everywhere the two went together, they would hold hands, and sweetly kiss each other in the middle of meals.
More that once, this had nearly driven Harry to the edge. Harry could remember one time clearly at the dinner table...
Remus and Tonks were sitting on the opposite side of the table. Making small chatter, and for the majority of the time, starring at one another, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Harry looked down at his roast beef and mash, that he was supposed to be eating. Snape was reading a new paper, determinedly not looking at the couple down the table.
Harry felt sick. How could they just do that? Just sit there and snog each other. Harry wondered if his parents had been like that. Loving each other so much that they could totally ignore heir son...
Harry looked up. Did Remus not love him now? Would he be cast aside, while Remus and Tonks moved out? In ways, Harry would rather see them die than take the rejection. He couldn't stand being rejected.
Harry pushed his untouched meal foreword , and stood up. The scrapping of the chair made all of the dinner guests look up. Snape, in particular, looked down at Harry's plate.
"Potter." Snape said, glancing at the unfinished meal. "You haven't finished your dinner yet."
"'m not hungry." he told them, making for the double doors.
"Harry! You have to eat, you're still recovering from the attack! We don't want you getting ill, again." Lupin told him.
Harry rolled his eyes. Why were they so over protective? Couldn't they at least leave him alone for one bloody minute.
"Well... maybe I'm just not hungry. Did you every think of that?"
Tonks frowned and laced her fingers into Lupin's hand.
"Harry," she chastised, "Remus is only trying to do what's best for you... You should really listen to him."
Harry saw red. "I know you don't care! Neither of you do." he turned to Remus, "You're not Sirius or Dad." he rounded on Tonks. "And you ARE NOT my mum!"
And with that, Harry bolted from the room. He eventually found himself in the library. Lola was no where to be seen, and the grate was empty. A chill was in the frozen air.
Harry paced the room, his anger not leaving him. He was frustrated... and yes, hurt... damn it! How could they just sit there and make believe that everything in their little world was perfect? He was really starting to believe that Lupin didn't have any interest in being his godfather after all. Harry walked over to the fire place and kicked the marble setting, only to obtain a sharp pain in his big toe.
"What gives her the right to think that she can replace my mum!?" Harry thought to himself bitterly.
It was true. Tonks had been becoming more motherly ever since the will. At first it was little things, like offering to make his lunch or something of that nature. But then it seemed that she was trying to govern his life. Making sure he was in bed before ten o'clock or giving him little 'good morning kisses.' It was driving him insane.
Harry plopped down on the couch, his head in his hands, as he heard a sharp knock on the door. He rolled his eyes. Don't they know better than to bother him?
"Potter!"
He groaned. Snape. Greasy git... he couldn't let anything go, could he? When Snape had found out that he was to be Harry's occulemency teacher once more, he had nearly had kittens. In fact... Dumbledore had to come and stand in between Harry and the potions master to prevent a different type of murder.
"What do you want?"
The door swung open, and Snape strode into the room, looking livid. He was seething by the time he was in front of Harry's sofa.
"Go apologize to them." he sneered, pointing at the door.
Harry's eyes flashed in anger. "No."
Snape crossed his arms and stood solidly. "And why, may I ask, are you up here moping?"
"I am not moping." he told Snape, sneering. "I just can't stand being — "
"Cared for?" Snape scowled at him, "Precious Potter getting sick of all the attention he's getting?"
"No! I'm sick of all of you hanging all over me, that's what! Them with there lovey dovey crap, and you stuffing potions on me — "
"Ah yes," Snape said, and then frowned, tossing back his sleeve and glancing at silver watch on his wrist. "It is time for your second dose as well..."
Harry groaned and sank back into the couch as Snape pulled a tiny vile of light blue potion out of his robes. He handed it to Harry, who drowned it in one swallow. They sat for a few minutes before Snape started up again.
"They don't want to forget you, Potter."
Harry looked up in surprise at his most hated Professor. How had he known what he was feeling? "I know..."
"Harry? Can we come in?" It was Tonks and Lupin.
Harry sighed and looked over at Snape who had raised an eyebrow at him. "Yeah... I guess."
Remus and Tonks walked into the room, not holding each others hands. Remus sat down beside Harry and put an arm around his shoulders. Tonks stood to the side of the couch nervously, looking oddly out of place.
"Harry? Does it bother you that Tonks and I are — er, together?" Lupin asked, tensilely, as if afraid of the answer.
Harry sank down into the couch and leaned into the comfort of Remus's arm, the room seemed much colder than it had been.
"Yes... but could you just — just try and not be so, so..."
"Touche." Snape finished for him, sneering at Tonks's flushed face.
Lupin nodded and broke into a small smile. Harry grinned and got up from the couch, making for the kitchen. Maybe Lola could get him a snack.
"Harry?"
Harry turned back around to face Tonks. "Yes?"
"Are — are we, okay?" she asked nervously.
"Yeah. Just don't fuss over me, okay?"
Tonks sniffed and looked Harry up and down. "You're right. I'm sorry, Harry. I know that I'm not your mother."
Harry nodded and quickly exited the room.
So here he was now. Sitting on the back porch of Grimmauld Place, eating a bowl of ice cream and finishing his Transfiguration essay. Tomorrow he would be going back to Hogwarts, by way of the Hogwarts Express.
Harry set down his quill and reflected on his summer vacation. He had gotten his first taste of Firewhiskey at Remus and Tonks's wedding day which had been a few days ago. The event was a happy one, and very much like a muggle wedding except that a binding spell was place on the rings and the reception was a bit more 'magical'.
As Harry wandered back up to his room, waving goodnight to Remus and Tonks and Snape, who were all in the parlour with a roaring fire, he wondered what his next year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would be like...
How little did he know that this year would be his most challenging yet.
