Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; it all belongs to J.K Rowling.
Summary: He doesn't know what to think. She doesn't know what to say. They don't know what to do. So what does a couple bottles of Firewhisky, a shoot glass and a bed have to do with it? There're about to find out.

Last Chapter
Tonks shook her head when she saw Harry starting to wake up and walked over to him and straddled him. Harry opened his eyes looking at her. Tonks just smiled at him and lent down and kissed him softly and laid down on him, her
head nestled in the crook of Harry's neck, slowly falling asleep.
Harry wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on the top of Tonks'
and he too fell asleep again with Tonks in his embrace.
Harry sighed and looked at the bottle of Firewhisky on his right then at he shot glass he had been drinking out of. Harry knew he had some sort of drinking problem but he just couldn't admit it to Tonks who Harry also knew would help him get over it.
The door of 'The Most Nobel House of Black' opened and Tonks walked into the house and into the kitchen to find Harry with his head in his hands and a bottle of Firewhisky on his right and a shot glass a bit to the left.
"Harry?" Tonks softly asked. "What's the matter?"
Harry who hadn't heard Tonks come in looked up at her and quickly looked back down biting his lower lip and mutter a weak 'nothing'. Tonks raised an eyebrow when Harry had said nothing and walked behind his and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"What's the matter Harry? And don't lie, I want to help you" Tonks whispered softly into Harry's ear. Harry sighed and leaned his head back on Tonks' shoulder and looked Tonks in the eye. He saw the worry in her eyes, as if she had done something to cause this.
"It's not you Tonks, it's me." Harry sighed "Ever since Sir...Sirius' death I've felt...abandoned by everyone. I can't stop drinking no matter how hard I try not to and I can't stop blaming myself. If it wasn't for me Sirius would still be alive...." Harry didn't get to finish of his rant since Tonks had captured his mouth with hers in a deep passionate kiss.
"Stop it Harry." Tonks said once they broke off the kiss for air. "It's not your fault and not EVERYONE has abandoned you. I haven't and neither has Remus. Everyone else I'm not sure but I know for a fact that you'll always have me and Remus to lean on if you ever need any help. And it wasn't your fault that Sirius died Harry. Sirius wanted you to be happy, he wouldn't want you to grieve for him, he would have wanted you to laugh at all the good times you had with him. As for the drinking thing, well I'll help you with that. I don't know how but I will. I promise Harry, I'll always be here for you. Always."
Harry looked into Tonks' eyes, only seeing love and care in her eyes. Harry smiled at her and closed his eyes. He didn't know why, but suddenly he was very tired and woozy. Tonks noticed this and pulled Harry up who stumbled and almost fell to the ground face first if Tonks hadn't caught him. Tonks frowned as she held Harry close to her as not to let Harry fall over.
"Do you think that if I help you, you would be able to get to your room Harry?" Tonks asked him, noticing that fact that he was very flushed and was starting to sweat a little. Harry shook his head indicating he didn't think he could even stay awake long enough to make it to his bed.
Tonks bit her bottom lip and decide to carry Harry to his room and then try and find something that would hopefully help Harry. Tonks put one arm under Harry's legs and the other around his back and lifted him up with his head leaning on her shoulder. Harry groaned softly and Tonks started to go to the bedroom carefully, as she didn't want to trip and hurt Harry in the state that he was in at the moment.
Once they got to the bedroom Tonks laid Harry down on his bed and took his shirt off, in hope that it would help him cool down. Tonks ran a hand though his hair and kissed him on the forehead and quickly went to the bathroom and grabbed a bowl from under the sink and filled it up with cold water then grabbed a face washer and quickly made her way back to Harry's room.
When Tonks got back she saw Harry leaning over the bed throwing up. Tonks quickly put the bowl of water down and conjured a bucket and cleaned up the area Harry was being sick at and placed that bucket there and walked beside Harry and sat down, making slow rubbing motions on his back.
After a couple of minutes had passed Harry stopped being sick and rolled onto his back, his eyes closed in what looked like pain.
"Harry?" Tonks asked, not getting an answer. "Harry are you alright?" This time Harry only moaned softly in response.
"Tonks" was all Harry managed to get out before a wave of pain made its way though Harry's body.
"Pain. Lots of pain" That was all Harry could say before he passed out, not being able to stand the pain for any longer.
Tonks stared at Harry, not sure about whether or not she should leave his side to Fire call someone to come and check on him. Tonks sighed and put her head in her hands for a minute, then got up and walked over to where she a left the bowl of water and brought it over and soaked the face washer and put it across Harry's forehead.
Tonks lent down and softly kissed Harry before leaving the room to Fire call Madam Pomfrey to come and check Harry over to see if she can find anything wrong with him.
Tonks raced downstairs and towards the fireplace with out her clumsy nature making it self known. Tonks quickly grabbed some Floo Powder and though it into the fireplace and calling "Madam Pomfrey". (A/N: I have no idea how the floo network works, so if I've got it wrong please bear with me)
Not long after Tonks had called Madam Pomfrey's name did her head appear in the flames, looking at Tonks with a curious expression on her face.
"What seems to be the matter Tonks?"
Tonks took a quick look at the door, and quickly explained with situation to her without even waiting for a response from Madam Pomfrey did she bolt out the door and up to Harry's bedroom, in order to make sure he was alright.
Madam Pomfrey watched Tons run from the room with a small smile on her face, she could easily see how much Tonks cared for Harry and would do anything for him she wondered if Harry would do the same for Tonks, if Tonks was in Harry's position.
It didn't take long for Madam Pomfrey to get everything she needed to check Harry over and quickly Flooed over and went upstairs to where Harry's bedroom was.
The view Madam Pomfrey was greeted with when she entered the room caused her to smile every so softly and also worry about Harry's state of health he was in at the moment.
Tonks was on the bed with her back resting against the headboard and her legs open (A/N: heads out of the gutter people! I don't mean it like that) and Harry in between her legs, his back resting against her chest, and his head on her shoulder breathing raggedly in pain.
When Tonks saw Madam Pomfrey she whispered something into Harry's ear causing him to open his eyes and look at her, before closing them again and moaning softly.
As Tonks got up from the bed, resting Harry on his back, Madam Pomfrey quickly went to work getting out a couple of books and a few potions as well as her wand and walked over to Harry.
[1]"inquiro viscus studio morbus" (A/N: that is probably wrong since I really don't trust where I got this translation from, but hey who cares? It still means the same thing...I hope)
Tonks didn't hear the spell that Madam Pomfrey used on Harry since she was leaning against the wall so that she was out of the way, but when she saw the ocean blue coloured spell come out of her wand she knew that the spell was checking all of Harry's vital organs in order to see if there was any infection and if so, what was it.
Tonks closed her eyes and prayed that she was hallucinating when she saw the spell go blood red over where Harry's heart was. She heard Madam Pomfrey gasp, all Tonks could do was slid down the wall holding her head in her hands, praying that this was just some sort of bad dream.
Madam Pomfrey started using different spells on Harry as she tried to determine what was wrong with Harry's heart that was causing this. She looked behind her at Tonks and saw her on the ground with her head in her hands, hey eyes closed as a tear slid slowly down her check.
"Tonks, I need you to answer some questions for me, and I need you to answer them in all honesty."
Madam Pomfrey saw Tonks nod her head and started asking Tonks questions.
"What is the...current state of your relationship with Mr. Potter?"
Tonks bit down on her lower lip for a minute before opening her eyes and looking at Madam Pomfrey and sighed softly.
"I...I don't know Ma'am" Tonks started, still biting on her lower lip. "I guess it started around a week and a half ago when we both got drunk and slept together."
Madam Pomfrey looked Tonks in the eye and saw the genuine worry that was held there for Harry's well being. After a few minutes Madam Pomfrey nodded her head and asked another question.
"Do you know anything about the Potter or Evens family history?"
Tonks shook her head in a no and Madam Pomfrey nodded her head and thought for a minute.
"Tonks" Madam Pomfrey started still deep in thought. "I need you to watch over Harry for me. Just till I get back, I'm going to check Mr. Potter's family history, just to see if there is anything in that, that could possibly be causing this."
Tonks nodded her head and forced her-self to her feet and walked over to the bed and sat down, noting that Harry was asleep. Tonks ran a hand down the side of his face softly before leaning down and kissing his on the forehead.
As Madam Pomfrey started to leave, she decides to give one last bit of advice to the young Auror.
"And Miss Tonks, talk to Mr. Potter about you relationship, you can never be to carefully now days with whom you can trust fully. And I can tell right now, that you would both do each other some good." With that last piece of advice she let the room and went back to Hogwarts, to search for anything that may be causing such harm to the Potter heir.
Tonks watched Madam Pomfrey leave the room 'you would both do each other some good' she had a point. With Harry she could be herself and not have to worry about being pushed around because of her age, but with Harry he would also lighten up a lot more, especially his eyes.
Tonks looked down at Harry and ran a hand though his hair and laid down next to him on the bed, pulling him closer to her, holding him close as she fell asleep with one though on her mind.
'I'll help you though this Harry, this and anything that may get in the way. No matter what, I'll be by your side hundred percent on the way. I promise'
With that last thought Tonks fell asleep, holding Harry close to her, not wanting to every let him go.
Far away from Grimmauld Palace the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts started to glow a soft blue and green. This site was not seen by the only two residents of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the two residents were either asleep (Albus Dumbledore) or searching though thick volumes of books in hope of finding someway to help the suffering teenage boy, asleep in the protective arms of his lover, and curing the boy (Madam Pomfrey).
Neither did they notice that ball of fire that took the form of a leopard about to jump on its pray coming out of the tops of the trees with birds flying as far away as they could as a castle, hidden for many years started to come into view but disappeared just as quick as it had came.
A/N: Well, there ya go, my longest chapter yet, don't you people just feel special? Now I've gotta go and finish writing the chapter up for my other story Run Away, but I've also ran out of ideas for that too.... how sad.
All well, if anyone is reading this and also is reading Run Away don't worry I'll do my best and get the chapter up soon, but if you could, could you please give me some ideas as what to do? Please? Yes? Thanks, I'm really out of ideas....
You know what, this story was meant to be a one-shot, but I'm really enjoying writing two stories at the same time, its making me become more organized......thats a scary though too.... but still, I do hope everyone is enjoying this story and if ya lucky I'll might give you an explanation of what is happening in some parts of the story....or I wont, matters on how I feel ;) don't you just feel really lucky?

OK, I'll shut up now and finish this off. R&R plz!
Cheers!
