Harry Potter & the Return to Honeychurch Institute of Magic
By Darkmoore
"HARRY JAMES POTTER? What are you doing with that boy in bed with you?"
"Vesta?"
Chapter Nine: Harry's Holiday
"Yes, it's me." Vesta replied, with a wicked smile on her face.
"What are you doing here at this time of the night?" Harry asked
"I was going to surprise you, but you seemed to have surprised me instead."
Tommy looked up at Harry and said, "I'm sorry Harry, I didn't know I did anything wrong." Then he bolted from the room back to his own.
"TOMMY?" Harry called after him, but he was already gone.
"Oh, Harry I'm sorry. I…" Vesta began feeling very bad for what she had done, but Harry took off after Tommy with Vesta hot on his heels.
Within moments Harry and Vesta emerged into Tommy's room and found the boy laying face down on his bed. Harry started to go to him, but Vesta beat him to it and pulled the boy into her arms.
"I'm sorry Tommy, don't cry. I was only trying to scare Harry. We pick on each other all the time, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," she cooed into the boy's ear.
"Really?" he asked, as Harry took a seat on the bed with them.
"Really, I didn't mean to scare you to. Now why don't we go back and you can settle back into the other bed. Okay?"
Harry nodded and took Tommy and carried him back to the other room and put the boy in bed.
Harry turned to her and was about to speak, when she started first, "I'm so sorry Harry, I didn't want to hurt or scare him."
"What changed your mind?"
Vesta smiled and said, "My mother reminded me of something. 'A child is born sweetness and pure, it is the evil that man does what changes it'. He's an innocent in all of this and I'm sorry I held it against him."
"Me too," Harry said, and then he kissed her.
The next morning Harry awoke to someone bouncing on the bed yelling, "Wake up Harry, wake up." Harry mumbled something and tried to roll over and go back asleep when that bouncing something landed square in his chest.
"Oooooph."
Vesta laughed at him and said, "I think you're not going to win, so you might as well get up."
"Yeah," Tommy agreed and began to jump again.
"Okay I'm up," Harry said blearily and continued, "You have way to much energy this morning kid," as he got up and walked into the bathroom.
When Harry came out after his shower, both Vesta and Tommy were missing from the bedroom. 'Must have gone down to breakfast,' Harry thought and moved to get dressed and join them.
On his way down to have breakfast Harry was stopped by Remus outside the library. "Good morning Harry, would you mind joining us in here this morning?"
"Alright," Harry responded, not particularly liking the sound of this. Harry began to think, 'Bet Tonks got him to side with her this morning, I'll have to take Tommy out as soon as possible."
When Harry entered the library, Tonks was standing by the fireplace with her head bent as if studying nonexistent flames in the grate.
"What can I do for you this morning?" Harry asked, curtly making Tonks flinch a bit.
Remus took a deep breath and plainly stated, "Nymphadora has something she wants to say to you this morning. Don't you Tonks?"
Normally Tonks would have bitten anyone's head off for using her first name, which she hated, but she let it slide this morning without a second glance. "Yeah, I do." Tonks took a deep breath and quickly said, "Imsorryfrmahtntrm."
"Tonks!" Remus said, warningly, as Harry looked on bewildered.
"I said, 'I'm sorry for my tantrum'."
"Which one?" asked Harry, which earned him a glare from the Auror.
"Tonks," urged Remus.
With a deep sigh, she continued, "Tommy and Nanny Talmadge can stay and I promise that I won't threaten to throw him into Azkaban again."
"Why were you mad at him to begin with?"
"He's supposed to be evil incarnate and… and…" Tonks began, but found finishing difficult.
"It's alright Tonks, just say it." Remus urged her again.
"He just seems like a little boy and I'm starting to like him," she finished in a very little voice.
Harry thought he was hearing things for a moment. "You like him? You've terrorized him since he came into this house and now you say you like him?"
Tonks looked sheepish and went back to watching the empty grate once more.
A short time later Harry was sitting at the table having his breakfast and leaned over and asked a question.
"So are you ready to go to your holiday cottage?"
"No," Tommy pouted, "I don't understand why I can't go with you."
"I told you, you and Nanny Talmadge will be at the cottage I rented for you while Vesta and I are off in our holiday cottage. We'll be back in a fortnight and then you can come back to stay here." Harry explained.
Tommy took a quick glance at Tonks and said, "She doesn't like me and wants to put me in jail."
"We had a long talk this morning." Harry said and turned to the colorful woman and said, "Didn't we Tonks?"
She shrugged and Remus kicked her under the table.
"Yes, Harry we did and anyone you want to bring into the house is welcome." Tonks said to the boy.
Tommy just stared at her as Harry laughed.
"But Harry," Tommy whined, "I don't wanna go to that other house, I wanna stay with you."
Harry looked sympathetically at the boy and said, "I know you do, but we've been through this and it's only for a few days."
Nanny Talmadge and the elves had already gone over to the house to get it ready for them to stay in, while Harry was to bring Tommy over after they had time to get settled into the house.
"How are we gonna get there?" Tommy asked Harry.
"I'm going to apparate us both over in a minute. You'll like apparition, its fun. Well at least for guys anyway."
Tommy looked at Harry oddly, but allowed himself to be picked up and with a load crack; they were gone, only to reappear moments later in the back yard of the cottage somewhere in Wales.
Harry looked at Tommy to see his reaction to apparition and he had a strange look on his face.
"Tommy, what's wrong?"
"I feel funny down there," he replied and pointed to his pants.
Harry laughed and carried him into the kitchen.
Later Harry returned to Grimmauld Place and created a portkey for him and Vesta to use to get to this secluded cottage hide-a-way. He then collected his beautiful girlfriend and together, with their luggage, activated it, sending them across the English countryside and they landed in the middle of the coziest sitting room either had ever seen.
"Harry, this place is amazing, where did you find it?"
Harry laughed and said, "Believe it or not, in my Gringott's Vault."
Vesta threw him a confused look, but said nothing, knowing he would tell her soon enough.
"When I was going through the paper work and deeds of my properties about a year and half ago, the deed to this place fell out of a pile of other papers. When I examined it closely, I discovered this cottage and the land surrounding it had once belonged to my grandparents. In fact this was their honeymoon cottage." Harry explained and continued, "I had never had the opportunity to come out here before, but after you and I got together, I knew that there was no other person in the world I wanted to share this with."
Vesta's whole body softened at his words and she felt so warm and loved at that moment. Seeing this Harry walked over to her and slid his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a long passionate kiss.
"Does this mean you approve of the cottage?" he asked.
Deep inside, her stomach was doing flip flops, but on the outside she simply said, "I guess it'll do."
After lunch, Harry and Vesta went for a walk on the grounds surrounding the cottage, as neither had been there before; they made an adventure of it. Even though there was no one for miles around, they wore Muggle clothing, just in case, as there were more of them to be found in this area of England than wizards and witches.
When the pair returned to the cottage a couple of hours later, Harry was about to open the door when he turned to look at Vesta. She had stopped at the garden gate to smell the rose that grew there. She was so beautiful standing there in the garden that just had to go to her and picked her up in his arms. Harry carried her into the cottage and to the bedroom, where he placed her on the bed and claimed her mouth with his.
"Hmmm, what was that for?" she asked, as he released her mouth.
"Because you are so beautiful," he said, never looking away from her eyes.
She laughed in just the way that he found to be the most adorable and she said, "I am so glad we've come on holiday together."
"So am I," he replied, before once again devouring her in kisses.
Three hours later Harry woke up to witness his beloved Vesta exiting their bedroom as she slipped her robes on over her creamy white shoulders, probably on her way to the kitchen to make dinner for the two of them.
'Ah,' Harry thought, 'life does not get any better than this.' Then he pulled himself out of bed and made his way into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
As he stood under the stream of water Harry remembered a conversation that took place just before the left Honeychurch, at the end of the school year.
FLASHBACK
"What are you going to be doing together?" Fitzy asked.
This time it was Harry who answered her, "I thought we might rent a small cottage off in the forest together so we can be alone, so I can walk around naked so she can look at my back side."
Fitzy was impressed, it took him all year, but he finally said something that she wasn't expecting and slightly shocked her. Of course, she wasn't going to let him get away with it.
"Oh, you've got to let me visit and see that."
"Alright, but I'm charging admission." Vesta replied.
Harry almost spit up his pumpkin juice.
END OF FLASHBACK
Drying off he stood in front of the mirror and thought to himself, 'What would she do if I did that?' Harry examined himself in the mirror and he stood naked in front of it, the way all men do, but refuse to admit to.
"Yeah," he said to the mirror, "let's try it and see what she says."
Harry finished drying himself off and he was brushing his wayward mop of hair when he heard Vesta call to him. "Harry, are you out of the shower yet?"
"Yeah, honey, I'll be out in a moment." Harry replied and began to walk into the sitting room.
"I have a surprise for… you…" Vesta said as she noticed a very naked Harry walk into the room.
"Merlin, help me, he's huge!"
Harry's eyes almost popped out of his head and thanks to his lightning fast Quidditch reflexes he grabbed a throw pillow from the couch and covered himself while Vesta was almost bent over from laughing so hard.
Harry then sputtered, "Fitzy? Wha, What are you doing here?"
"Getting an eyeful that's for sure!"

Author's Note: To everyone who reviewed, thanks again...
mrsean wrote I'm glad to see Weatherby's project on the back burner. As far as Tommy goes, I know that he's an "innocent little boy" in this incarnation, and it's starting to look like Harry's going to be guilt-tripped into raising him, but he seriously needs to (at least consider) putting himself and his needs first. If keeping Tommy is going to cost him his love and his friends, then what's the point?
Answer - Harry hasn't entirely lost anyone. Tonks and Ron aren't everyone and they haven't left Harry, they just don't want him stuck with the murderer of his parents.
Numba1 wrote I'm afraid I must disagree with Dobby. Harry has spent his entire life so far dealing with Voldemort, he has a new job, a very nice young lady and yet he's back to dealing with Voldemort. It's not his job to raise Tommy and I never thought it possible but you've made me dislike Dobby, it is the first time. He doesn't have to throw the boy in school but taking him in, taking him to Honeychurch, please don't do that.
Answer - Don't dislike Dobby or Winky, they only see the child that he is, not the man that he was. Besides Dobby is right, even if Harry won't admit it, but Harry would be a good dad. What would you suggest be done with the boy?
kensai2 wrote I did not mean to offend, but rather tease, but I will cease and desisist.
Answer - Why? I actually look forward to your reviews.
Peak of Truimph wrote man, i like how u answer reviews, so impressed I was I thought I would come out of the shadows to greet you and congratulate you on such a great sotry and prequel and prequel prequel, if u reply to me i swear I'll review everytiem you update, i look forward to a reply, it just warms my heart to see my name mentioned on a chapter.
Answer - Who am I to deny a man his happiness, I would love to have your reviews, but usually I either answer questions or correct misconceptions created on my inept writing. :)
krysalys73 wrote Weatherby and Old woman... shudders & wrinkles nose Ehew...Harry has some of the best reasons to hate Voldemort out of everyone, and man is Tonks coming across as Uberbitch! Guess she never liked kids all that much, eh? ;-)
Answer - Tonks doesn't dislike children, just this one in particular. He was Voldemort once upon a time and in that life he caused a lot of pain.
TuxedoMac wrote Well I was glad to read from this one again. I like the whole Tommy seams to know all sees all with that. nice ending I must say. and thanks for saying what a fortnight is I have been wondering that for ages. Whats the next conference for?
Answer - the next conference Harry will be attending is for Hermione and House Elf rights/status. As for the last time I posted, sorry but I've had two dentist visits recently and I wasn't feeling up to writing much, sorry!
athenakitty wrote Dobby got extremely good arguments? Why's Harry getting howlers from Narcissa? Is Tommy going to go with Harry to Honeychurch? Will Vesta be more accepting of Tommy? How will Tommy react to Honeychurch and those of him?
Answer - Harry gets the howlers from Narcissa because she wants access to the Black Family Vault and he wont let her in. So she is trying to annoy him or wear him down so that he'll give in.
Phire Phoenix wrote wince Oh, Vesta is honestly going to kill him. She's was actually impartial about this whole business, wasn't she? sigh I would've thought that Tonks would be a little more understanding, but I guess old grudges are hard to overcome -.- oh well thanks for updating!
Answer - Don't judge Tonks so harshly, in order to understand a person, you need to look at what makes them act the way they do. Also, Vesta has a wicked, and yet dry, sense of humor. :)
Tanydwr wrote Don't like that plan. Make another one? I like the ending. And Tonks... She's being completely unreasonable. I bet you anything she stole biscuits when she was five. Mind you, if her mum threatened her with jail, she might do so with the kid. But still, he's five years old, it's completely out of line! I repeat, five years old! He's a kid. He isn't Voldemort. He's Tommy Riddle. Tom Riddle himself and Voldemort were two separate people. I think there must hav been a point where Tom snapped and became Voldemort. Truly became Voldemort. I doubt he knew he was Slytherin's heir all along.
Answer - Stealing biscuits (in America we call them cookies), isn't why Tonks was so unreasonable about Tommy leaving. Guilt, there's a much better reason for her to be unreasonable. Also, please, she still steals biscuits.
mindfunk wrote I have to say it: Vesta is really being a bitch. I'm beginning to long for a scene where Harry tells her off and drops her on her butt. I know he won't take up with Draco or Seamus, as you've told me 50,000 times that "Harry is not gay!" and you've disposed of the whole Veela thing anyway, but there's gotta be somebody else who won't be so selfish. Vesta needs either a major attitude adjustment or a one way ticket to Dumpsville.
Answer - I wouldn't mind seeing Harry with Seamus, but as I said before he is straight. damn! Don't you wish you beta's this chapter too? tee hee!
