A/N: Here is the next installment of this story, and I must say it is a bit lighter than the last one. At least I think it is.
DJ Rodriguez: Thanks for the review. Dude are you a mind reader or what? This is the second time you have mentioned in a review about what I was going to put in the following chapter. (Thinks I might have to send out team to beat you up. lol) Glad you liked the real world, and I assume you liked the dream. Hope you enjoy this Tonks chapter ;).
Silverscale: Thanks for the review. I will keep you in mind if I need any suggestions, but if you have any pertaining to this story or my other one feel free to let me know when you review.
Kpfan1: Thank you
Princessash: Thank you for the review. If it made you feel sad then I did my job right. The saddest part about the dream was I wrote it with pure emotion that I was feeling. Actually things that Harry felt in the dream and some outside of it come from me, because in my heart that's how I feel as well.
ShadowDemon100: Thank you for the review. Split Personality? Well that is an interesting thought, which I must say I have also. Though mine are kept inside my writing so it adds to the impact and effectiveness of it.
Fire Gazer: Thank you.

As if Tonks didn't have enough on her mind already after finding out that Harry had disappeared. Now she had to return to the ministry and report to Kingsley that Harry would never be coming to work.
"Can this day get any worse?" Tonks asked herself as she Apparated back to the ministry.
As soon as she arrived she was summoned into Shacklebolt's office once more. He did not look too happy and Tonks assumed that Dumbledore had already informed him of the situation.
"Close the door and sit down!" Kingsley said in a harsh tone as Tonks walked into his office.
She closed the door and sat down in the chair in front of his desk. "I assume…"
"Dumbledore informs me that you told him about Harry disappearing before you told me! No matter though either way this is not a good start to my day!" Kingsley said and Tonks could tell that he was pissed. "The minister is going through the roof about this, and is coming down hard on me mostly. Though I think he gave Dumbledore an ear full too about it."
Tonks just looked at him, and she knew how he was feeling sort of. She wasn't having the best day of her life either. First she found out that Harry was leaving, then she finds out that he loved her, and now her boss was coming down on her because of all of it. "I am sorry I didn't tell you first, but I thought Dumbledore could find him. As for the minister I don't know why he is coming down so hard on you. Not like Fudge even likes Harry, hell you would think he would be grateful."
"He isn't grateful in fact, he is facing more hell over this than he did when he publicly denied the return of You-Know-Who!" Kingsley said with a glare.
"If he thinks it is bad now wait till the public hears about it." Tonks said without giving much thought about what she had said.
"Public! The public cannot find out about this! It has been decided that no one outside of the ministry and the order can know about this. If it got out that the savior of the world has ran off like a coward…" Kingsley started to say but didn't get to finish his statement.
"Harry is not a coward!" Tonks shouted as she stood up. "He may be the only one that can save our sorry asses, but he is no coward! Harry has proved time and time again that he is braver than most of the people in the damn ministry!"
Kingsley looked a sight more pissed off than he had been, but tried to keep his cool. "Tonks I suggest if you wish to keep your job that you mind who you are speaking to. I know that you don't like how things run around here, but it is just this simple. We do what we are told and we don't go against our superiors! Now if you would sit your ass down I will finish telling you what is going to happen!"
Tonks sat back down but kept glaring at Kingsley.
"The Minister wants Harry found no matter what else happens. There is a team monitoring for his wand signature and as soon as he uses it they will be sent to bring him in. the public is not to learn about what is happening here no matter what!" Kingsley said as he looked at Tonks.
"Sir, I would like to be part of that team." Tonks said as she looked at Kingsley.
"I assumed as much Tonks and that is the second reason for asking you here. I want you to go and meet Malcom Hardy. He is leading the team that is hunting for Harry, but I want someone from the Order on the team. If you find Harry I want you to bring him to me, as I have order. If the others catch him, they may feel that the minister's orders out rank mine. Dumbledore wants to hear from Harry before Fudge gets a chance to question him." Kingsley said as he motioned for her to leave.
Tonks nodded and made her way to meet her new commanding officer. 'Harry I hope you know what you got yourself into.' Tonks thought as she walked to the meeting room.
As Tonks walked into the room she was met by Malcom Hardy. "You must be Tonks, now that you are here we can start this meeting. Please take a seat and we will begin."
Tonks took her seat as waited for the meeting to start.
"As you know this is a classified operation, and it is my understanding that all of you know what that means. If anything is said about this operation outside of this room you will find that you're in Azkaban for it." Hardy stated in a matter of the fact sort of way. "We will be watching for Harry Potter's wand signature. Once we have it we will Apparate to the location and bring in him. All of you have been briefed with the level of information that you are permitted, so no more on this will be said."
"Sir, we have him! He is in the Jade Scorpion! Also sir, he set off the Unforgivable ward, which means he used an unforgivable curse." An Auror said as he looked at Hardy.
"Ok lets go get him and we will sort out the violations when we are done." Hardy said as the team Apparated out of the office.
When they arrived there was no signs of Harry in the bar, but there was two men tied up on the floor. Tonks saw a man in black sitting alone at the bar. 'Harry would you be dumb enough to stick around?' Tonks thought as she walked up to the man.
"Wotcher" Tonks said as she stepped up beside the man.
The man turned to look at her, and she could see right away it wasn't Harry. If it was then he was using some sort of disguise, then it hit her. 'Would Harry use his abilities to change his appearance now? Would he stay behind and watch the Aurors come for him? No Harry wouldn't do that.' Tonks thought as she looked into his silver eyes.
"Hello Darlin?" The man said in a forced calm voice.
Tonks smiled at him with her radiant smile. "Can I ask you a few questions?"
The man grinned at her. "Milady you can ask me anything you wish, if you answer me this. What name is befitting an angel like you?"
Tonks couldn't believe a complete stranger was talking to her like that. There was also something in the way the man said it that made her blush. "You can all me Tonks Mr.…"
"Wolf" The man said as he looked at her. "You may call me Silver Wolf."
"Well Mr. Wolf" Tonks said fighting back her grin. "I must inform you that I am an Auror sent here my the Ministry. I want to know if you saw any of the fight that took place here or if you saw who captured these two guys?"
The man fought to hide a grin, but Tonks could tell he was trying to hide it. "I am sorry Miss Tonks, but as you see I am here for a drink. Nothing more or less, so no I didn't see anything. Though I did hear the guy say something about he was going to kill Voldemort."
Tonks flinched a bit at his comment. She had never heard anyone except Harry and Dumbledore speak the Dark Lords name with such malice in their voice. She knew there was something about the guy that struck her as being strange.
Tonks was pulled out of her musing by the voice of her commander. "Tonks wrap it up we're leaving."
Tonks smiled at Wolf. "Thanks for your help. Maybe we will see each other again."
He gave her a mischievous grin. "I am sure we will
Tonks smiled at him for a moment longer and then Apparated back to the office.
Hardy looked at his team with a grim expression on his face. "Harry is slick I will give him that, but we will have to quicken our response time. I want you manning the wards constantly, and alert me to any that is his. I will have to go interrogate the two Death Eaters we brought in."
Tonks stood up and looked at Hardy. "Will all do respect sir, your command is over this unit. You do not have the authority to interrogate the death eaters. I will report to Kingsley Shacklebolt and he will decide who will do the interrogation. It is by his orders sir, not mine that he be informed of this situation."
Hardy looked like he was fit to be tied, but acted calm. "Miss Tonks you are correct the minister didn't give me that authority, but since it pertains to my investigation I believe that your boss needs to butt out."
Tonks got a stern look on her face as she looked at him. "Have it your way. I will be reporting to my boss no matter what. I personally do not want to lose my job, but if you don't value yours much continue on with the interrogation."
Before Hardy could say anything to Tonks she abruptly turned and left the room. She closed the door behind her and breathed a sigh of relief. 'Something tells me that this Silver Wolf has more to do with this than he was letting on. ' Tonks thought as she made her way to Kingsley's office.
After telling Kingsley about the two Death Eaters he decided that Dumbledore would want to speak with them. Tonks asked that she be allowed a word with them, but Kingsley would not allow it.
Tonks went back to her small space in the office and sat down. 'Oh Harry if that was you tonight in the bar, I hope you know what your doing. Not only will you have the ministry after you, but Voldemort isn't going to be happy with you either.' Tonks thought as she looked at a picture of Harry she had from a party a few years before.
Tonks went home that night still not knowing anything. Kingsley wouldn't allow her near the prisoners, and Hardy was upset with her because he couldn't get near them either. In fact Kingsley wasn't allowing anyone see them, until Dumbledore had a chance to speak with them.
Tonks sat on her bed, feeling worse than normal. "Harry why couldn't you just come to me. I would have helped you through whatever problems you were having. If only you knew how much I care for you."
Tonks cried herself to sleep that night, and woke to find that the next day was no better. She still wasn't given any information about the Death Eaters and there were no more signs of Harry anywhere. All she could do was sit and wait, and in the mean time feel her heart being ripped apart by the lack of information. She missed Harry more than she could say to anyone, and she was falling into a deep depression that was being felt by everyone.
