Amscray- I hear where your coming from but…..no, you will see what is to come, but whenever someone tells me to do something, I will say no, even if I am actually going to do that, so there you have it. And yes I mean the Black family accounts, those that you mentioned are not of the Black Family, and one of them is a felon, one was disowned, and the other is the wife to a felon, so I would have to say most of their assets have probably been seized by the Ministry, or in the Black family accounts, but only some of those were given to Harry.
TuxedoMac - thank you very much, the desert eagle was the first to come to mind when thinking of a gun, sorry you don't like the piercing but they are there basically for shock value, he wants to scare the crap out of all the wizards. And no, he will not be gaining a menagerie, just the one snake, I don't see why he doesn't have one in the books, he must have a special connection with them to be a parseltongue, yeah I know what you mean with the too many animals, I read a story with so many animals all with weird names I swear there was ten animals.
A/N: Harry and Tonks is a major part of the story, but will not be graphic, or terribly fluffy, so the rating will be the same, whenever I stop a scene and jump to the next with them you can assume the worst. ;)

Chapter 3 ---------------- Things to come, things to see, and things to unveil
Harry awoke to someone pressing against him he smiled. This was how he normally awoke nowadays. Three weeks ago had been when him and Tonks went out. A couple of days later he was assigned her as his guard, two weeks ago she had started sleeping with him, she had been let out of Grimmauld place, so no one knew that she was there, two weeks ago he discovered something. He wasn't alone. Someone cared for him.
They had started training two weeks ago also. It seemed that someone out there was afraid of his wrath and had released the restrictions on him. At least that was what had been said and not said in the letter sent to him. Tonks had told him the truth; it was because they didn't have enough people to overlook the wards alerting them to underage magic.
The first thing he did was change his room, silencing charms, enlargement charms, wards against any sort of magic detectors. He practiced the Dark arts, healing arts, Auror magic, anything he could reach for he practiced until he had it perfect. Which he still hadn't accomplished. Tonks had taught him to apparate, sword training, and object enchantment. She learned the dark arts with him, feeling that if you have them might as well use them.
He got up, today would be interesting, and they were planning on doing a few things to mess with Dumbledore's mind. He went to shower and get ready for today. When he was out he went into his bedroom to see Tonks sitting cross-legged on his bed, pouting. "Why didn't you wake me? You know I don't like to shower alone." She whined. He knew she was playing around she did that a lot. "I couldn't bare to wake you darling, you sleep so peacefully." She looked up again changing her appearance while doing so. Harry shivered.
"Can you not do that? It is so creepy to be talking to someone than have them change." He complained. She just changed again. She did this a few more times before going back to how she really was. Dark hair, round face, and curvy build. "So what are we planning to do today?" she asked.
"Well I have a few mind games to play with the Old Man. Maybe visit some old friends, a little shopping." Shopping had quickly become one of his favorite things to do. Well, that was to be expected from a person who had been deprived all his life, then had a pile of gold dropped in his lap.
When they were both ready to go, armed and ready. They closed down everything in his room. They took down all the charms, took all of his and her things, and packed them and shrunk them. What was left, was a bare room, a desk, a bed, and a nightstand, along with all of Dudley's stuff.
They went downstairs; they walked into the kitchen, where his 'family' was. They had never seen Tonks so they were obviously upset seeing a person come downstairs that they had never seen. "Where are you going now freak, and who is this?" He gestured at the woman next to Harry. "This, Vernon, is my girlfriend, Dora." He put his arm around the indicated woman. His uncle opened his mouth and closed it a few times. "How did she get in here? How is she here? And where are you going, I say again?" he uncle was getting annoyed.
"Now, now, Vernon. She has been staying with me the past few days." He paused to let this sink in. His uncle looked scandalized. "She has been coming in and out under invisibility. And oh yeah. I'm leaving. Moving out. If anyone asks tell them 'look closer to home'. Say that. So bye Vernon. It's been horrible, don't be surprised if I come back and kill you." He left his family cowering in terror. He laughed at them. Stupid muggles. His uncle would probably kill himself out of paranoia. This caused him to laugh even harder.
Outside Tonks turned to him, "Your horrible you know that don't you?" he just smiled.
"But you still love me." He said tauntingly. He leaned in and kissed her. "Hey do you want to take the bike to London, or apperated?" she looked at the bike considering, "Let's take it!" she said finally jumping on and turning it on.
He sighed, he barely got to drive himself anymore, she always wanted to. They drove past Mrs. Figg's house on purpose; she was outside in her garden. Harry waved as they went by. She looked a little stunned at this, he always avoided her part of the neighborhood, and so she had never seen the bike. Tonks chose that moment to speed up, almost to the bikes limit.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They walked up the steps of Gringotts. Inside they went straight to the head office. That was where they always did their business, seeing as he was heir apparent to two very wealthy families. Inside the Head Goblin of the Britain branch greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Potter what do you need from us?" he said straight to the point.
"Yes Vlad, I need to evict some residents of two of my current properties. Number 12 Grimmauld place, here in London, and number 6 Mountain View drive in Hogsmeade." He told the Goblin, who nodded, and snapped his fingers. Two goblins appeared in his office, he gave them orders in gobbledygook they then disappeared. "It will be done Mr. Potter." Harry nodded to the goblin.
Him and Tonks left; got something to eat for lunch. They discussed their plans for today, with their eviction of Grimmauld that left some people out in the open for a while; they would set up ward around the Grangers house and would visit the Weasleys.
Shrinking the motor cycle they apperated to the Grangers house. They got there and found no one home, but obviously still inhabited, they must be out for a while. They started the process of warding a large area.
They warded for dark activity, and blocked all of those with bad intentions from coming within a mile of the house. That would be enough, since they would probably only be needed for a short period of time. Next stop the Burrow.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At the Burrow, it was chaos; a goblin had showed up at Grimmauld and had forced them to leave, so the whole Order of The Phoenix was there. Albus was sitting at the kitchen table fingers on his temples, eyes closed. Mrs. Weasley was in the kitchen making dinner for all of the Order members and the children there. Ron and Hermione had disappeared a while ago, to god knows where. The twins were at their shop, making money. And all the other members of the Order where in the living room discussing what had happened.
"Why were we evicted? Only the owner of a place can evict anybody, and I thought Dumbledore had owned it?" Bill said to everybody else.
Kingley answered him being closer to the top, "No, Dumbledore does not own it. When Sirius died, his Will left it to somebody. Nobody knows who because he left the Will with Gringotts, to be carried out." This was news to most; they had not known Sirius had left a will. "But I thought that the place was in a Fidelus charm?" said Charlie, the others nodded in agreement.
Kingsley sighed. "When it came under new ownership the charm automatically was dissipated so that the owner or someone under his orders could come in. Dumbledore has been trying to find the new owner but Gringotts has been uncooperative." He finished. They all looked downcast wondering what the next move was.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A mile outside of Otter St-Catchpole, a motor cycle roared, down a dirt road. Harry was driving it this time with Tonks in back. They found the long road leading to the Burrow; up at the house they all heard the roar and went outside to welcome the visitor.
When they pulled up, all of the people had wands out, looking at the helmeted people in muggle cloths. "Put your wands down before you poke someone's eye out." Harry said annoyed at them. He took off his helmet, looking at them all. Half of the people had lowered their wands in surprise, the inexperienced ones; the others just looked shell shocked. "You know, if I were a death eater in disguise I could have killed you all by now? You really must keep your wands ready at all time." The idiots raised their wands. He sighed, "Does nobody here recognize me?" he looked questionably, Dumbledore was first, his eyes widened, and his wand dropped.
Mad-eye took the next step "Veratus!" If the spell had hit it would have shown a person under polyjuice, but since Harry would have none of it his wand came out, "Talio." He muttered, the spell was reflected and hit the ex-Auror; he glowed for a second, and then stopped.
Tonks chose now to take off her helmet, and put her arm around his waist. Again people were shocked beyond belief. This time Snape recovered first. "What the HELL, are you doing here Ms. Tonks. You were supposed to guard him, why were you accompanying him?" Tonks just ignored him and nuzzled Harry's shoulder, her eyes closed.
Snape grew angry with them; he looked Harry in the eyes, "Legilimens!" He shouted, Potter just stood there. Snape had just made it to Potters mind, when he dropped to his knees, pain searing through his mind, it was locked in Potter's grip. Harry smiled, and let go. Snape trembled, and shakily stood. "Well, well, well, it seems the death eater is still weak. Lets try this my way." He smiled, and stared at Snape, "Legilimens" Harry whispered.
Snape fell to his knees but he could not tell, he was reliving his past at Hogwarts very fast some scenes pausing, ones that caused him immense humiliation especially. When it ended Snape was shaking in rage. He stood pointing his wand at Harry, "Dammit Potter, you can not do that, Telum!" a small spiked bit of magic shot out Harry, who smirked, "Contendo" he whispered, a wave of black energy wiped the bolt of magic from the air, continued on to Snape and knocked him on his ass.
Harry laughed as did Tonks, "Is that the best you can do? I expected more from a death eater." Again Snape stood, he actually growled in anger, which caused the smirk on Harry's lips to widen, "Mursus!" Snape tried again, Harry yawned, "retardo." He said, the spell Snape had used slowed to a snails pace. Harry walked around it watching, he poked it, it fizzled out of existence. "Lets quit the games Snape, excrucio!" he put all his force behind it Snape fell again, twitching. Harry pulled up ending it. "Remember your place from now on Snape."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Now shall we head inside?" he walked inside Tonks still on his arm. He sat down at the kitchen table; Dumbledore sat across from him, "So I assume you came here for a reason, Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore said Harry shook his head.
"No not really, I knew you wouldn't be at Grimmauld place so I came for a visit."
"Now how would you know we would not be there?"
"Well, simple really, I evicted you."
Dumbledore looked confused "Why would you do such a thing?" Harry smiled.
"I just wanted your attention." He said innocently, Dumbledore saw right through it, this was no plea for attention. This was a power game. "You guy's can go back now if you want."
"That's ok, I believe we can go somewhere else." He certainly wasn't going to be manipulated by a sixteen year old.
"Don't bullshit me Dumbledore, you can't go anywhere but there, it is the safest place you have. I know I checked all the wards."
Dumbledore sighed, the boy was winning and he didn't like it, he consented "Yes you're right, we will go back." With that Dumbledore stood and took the rest of the of the Order members, except the Weasleys, and Hermione.
"Well, the Manipulator doesn't like to be manipulated." Harry mused, to the rest of them, who were still in shock at the quick events. It was Hermione who spoke first, speaking the minds of all of them.
"What is going on, here?" Harry smirked.
"You have just witnessed me put Snape and Dumbledore in their places." They were still confused.
"Why did Snape attack you, and how come I have never even heard of those curses?" Hermione queried.
"Snape attacked me because I made him relive his most embarrassing events in his life and I viewed them. The reason why you haven't heard of those curses is because is because they are classified Dark Arts." All of them gasped, Harry Potter using the Dark Arts? Impossible. Hermione shook her head that was to be dealt with later.
"So what's up with Tonks?" she asked indicating, her, who was leaning on Harry's shoulder still, watching with amusement the proceedings. In response, Harry turned his head and kissed her, passionately. When he let go they resumed their positions. The Weasleys and Hermione all just stared at them. This was truly getting annoying.
"What have you never seen a kiss before?" Tonks asked. Mrs. Weasley exploded.
"NYMPHADORA TONKS, YOU ARE SEVEN YEARS OLDER THAN HIM!" she screamed at the top of her voice. Harry and Tonks looked at each other, nonplussed, then burst out laughing. This caused her to get even madder. "This is not funny!" she said, "You are far too old for him."
"Mrs. Weasley if we are talking about experience than I am older than you are." Harry said evenly. She looked downcast. He was right.
He stood "Well I must be leaving I have more business to do today." Ron had had enough. He was insanely jealous at the moment.
"Oh really what business do you have today, oh lord." He mock bowed, voice dripping with sarcasm.
Harry turned, a look of concentration on his face, "Yes I like that title, you may use it if you want." He wanted Ron mad, he could set him strait as well, and to add to it he waved his hand dismissively at him. It worked. Ron pulled his wand.
"You may think your good, Potter, but I've been trained by the Order this summer, I'll beat you in my sleep." He smirked, somehow forgetting that Harry had just crippled Snape.
"Ron don't do this, you'll get hurt." Hermione begged him. He snapped at her too.
"What are you jealous too, because I'm a better dueler than you?" he sneered; she looked hurt and ran crying from the room.
"Let's go outside so you don't hurt the house when you miss." Harry said, Ron sneered but swept outside.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Outside they found a large piece of open space, "Well, let's go then show me what your precious Order taught you." Harry said, "Until unconsciousness." He stated. Ron nodded.
"Tarentantagula!" Ron shouted. Harry laughed at the uselessness of the spell, the jelly-legs jinx. Harry held out his bare hand, fingers spread wide, the curse struck, and dissipated. Harry laughed.
"Do not tell me that is the best you can do. Accio Desus." A large snake flew from the Motorcycle, it landed in front of him, ~Circle him, and be prepared. ~ He hissed, the snake did as instructed, then Harry hissed, ~contineo. ~ a parseltongue spell. The snake was hit, and a green circle expanded upwards in a prison for Ron. Harry laughed even harder as Ron touched the shield and pulled back, his hand in extreme pain.
Ron growled, "expelliarmus" he shouted, the spell hit the shield and bounced back and hit him, and he was thrown into the shield, and fell to the ground his wand hitting him in the face. Harry doubled over in laughter he stood.
"OK let's finish this, doleo." Ron fell to the ground, screaming. It stopped, he passed out. Harry smiled; the fool could have been killed so easily. He walked to Tonks took her hand and walked to the bike, he turned back "See you at Hogwarts, accio snake." His snake came back. It wrapped around his shoulders he touched the bike. In a pop he was gone.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The two walked down the lane hand in hand. They came to a house, correct address. Inside it was bare, they set about refurnishing it.
It was done in an hour; they had bought or transfigured anything they needed. Here they could stay until school started.
They lay down on the king sized bed, reading a book each. Harry an ancient rune book, doodling them out on a sketchpad. Tonks a book on staffs. Harry had been trying to find out how the ancients had used runes for magic for weeks, failing everything he tried, it just didn't seem possible.
He looked at the pad, well, glared at it. He put a finger to a rune, circling it, tracing it, begging it to release it's secrets. He was frustrated, finger still on the rune he intended to burn it, but instead the rune absorbed his magic. He jumped at what happened. Tonks looked over, he yelled, "I've got it, goddammit I've found it!" he put his finger to it again, pouring his magic into it. It glowed a bright red. He touched it and he was instantly pushed upwards, floating in the air. He laughed manically. He turned and looked at the rune, it was the rune of air. He laughed and touched it again, canceling the affect. He pulled Tonks into a kiss.
"I'VE GOT IT!" He yelled triumphant.

A/N: well next time on the Black Phoenix, Return to Hogwarts. Well it's 2:56 in the morning and I'm dead goodnight all.
