A/N: Some people liked the all Tonks chapter, which did have Harry in it, as Silver Wolf and some didn't. So to please both groups this is a Harry and Tonks chapter.
DJ Rodriguez: Thanks for the review. I may have been OOC on Kingsley in this story, but I don't really know much about him to judge. I just know how I needed his character to be, and so that's why he was this way. (hope no one minds) I am not sure if Tonks is acting the way all scorned lovers would, but this is how I see it happening. Since a lot of what I write comes from the heart, it is easier to write Harry's feeling than it is to do Tonks. Though I have tried to show her yet again in this chapter.
Princessash: Thank you for reviewing. Actually Harry was in the last chapter when Tonks went to the pub and spoke with Silver Wolf, but I know what you mean. That's why I have them both in this chapter. It also has his next test in it as well.
Gallandro-83: Thank You
Silverscale: Thanks for reviewing. Also thanks for the suggestion about the Animagus forms but I have them already figured out, but thanks. Also I will check out your stories that you said about in your other review.
Fire Gazer: Thank you for the review. I didn't think the last chapter was as sad as the one before it, but I could be wrong.
ShadowDemon100: Thanks for the review. Tonks might be depressed, but so is Harry if your other personalities haven't noticed lol. (Night now so hopefully you review in the morning ;))
Uten: Thanks for reviewing. You feel sorry for Tonks, but Harry is going through the same thing. He is in love with her and doesn't know that she loves him too. Harry does need the training, but your right he needs to get things straight with Tonks too. Maybe they will work things out, or maybe he will just be stubborn and not speak to her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry bolted up straight in his bed, sweet pouring down his face, and his sheet clutched in his fists. The dream he had was worse than most of the nightmares that he had involving Voldemort.
Harry looked around trying to grasp where exactly he was. Then it all came crashing back to him. He was still inside Spade's mansion, or the Jade Scorpion Headquarters as it turned out to be.
The though of his situation drove through him like a spike. 'Did they just see him as Silver Wolf? Of course they did how else could they have seen him? They didn't know that he was Harry Potter, and that was good because he didn't want that. Though after the dream he had, he didn't know if he wanted them to know Silver Wolf either.' Harry mused as he continued to look around the room.
It was three in the morning, and normally Harry would have gotten up in an hour anyway. However this morning it seemed like he was forced up by that nightmare. He didn't even bother to try and go back to sleep. He stood up and got dressed for the day, but wasn't sure that he wanted to face it or not.
Harry decided not to rush into his morning exercises, since he still had an hour till he normally did them. Instead he sat down at a small desk in the room and pulled out a quill and parchment.
He tried relentlessly for an hour to write a letter to Tonks, but every time ended up burning it. "Why can't I even write her a simple letter?" Harry said out loud as he started to become perturbed with himself.
Harry finally decided to abandon the whole thing and go start his morning exercises. At least that way he could try and clear his head before meeting the others for the day's testing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonks woke up at four o'clock even if she didn't like it. She had learned to wake up early during Auror training since they had too. Though it seemed pointless now to her, but for some reason she still did it.
She would have much rather continued to sleep, and continue dreaming about Harry. That was the only peaceful time she had now a days. It was the only time that her world was in perfect harmony, because her and Harry were together like they should be. However now fully awoke she had to face the fact that her world was not peaceful, at harmony, and she definitely didn't have Harry here with her.
She walked over to her desk and sat down looking at the only picture of Harry she had. "I just wish you were here so much, but yet I have no idea where you are." She said as a tear ran down her cheek. She decided to try and write to Harry, even if she didn't know where he was. She hoped that an owl would be able to find him.
However after an hour of disappointment she decided that it is pointless to try. No matter how many times she tried, she just couldn't put into words what she was feeling. She desperately wanted to tell him that she loved him and for him to come home to her. Though it never seemed right when written down.
She decided that she would just get ready for work. Maybe if she kept busy with other matters she wouldn't worry and miss Harry so much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his morning exercise he made his way into the mansion. It was time for breakfast, and Harry was starving after all he had been through.
As he walked in he found Spade and Quake both at the table eating and talking. Harry walked over to the table and sat down. He merely nodded when they said morning, and began to eat.
Spade could tell there was something wrong with him, but he just didn't know for sure what it was. "Are you feeling okay Wolf?"
At first Harry wasn't going to answer. He felt like shouting, how in the hell could I feel okay when my world has been destroyed? However he decided against that. "I'm fine." He said curtly, though deep down he knew he wasn't fine at all.
Spade could tell that he was not fine, but decided not to push the issue. If he didn't want to talk about it, then he wasn't going to pry in to it. Spade said his goodbyes and promptly left the dinning room.
Quake being an older wizard, not to mention a former monk, was not as willing to let it go. "You don't seem fine to me Mr. Wolf. It might do well for you to talk about it."
Harry just glared at Quake and went back to eating. He didn't want to explode on Quake, so he decided to keep quiet.
Quake still didn't feel to urge to let it go, if anything he was more determined than ever to get him to talk. "It must be something really troubling for you to be in such a foul mood. I am good at listening, after all a monk knows when to be quiet and listen to the tells of his fellow man."
Harry slammed his fist down on the table and stood up. "If you're so good at being quiet then why don't you shut the hell up!" Harry said as he left the dinning room without even finishing his whole breakfast.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonks arrived at the ministry determined to keep to herself in her small space. At least if she stayed busy with her own work, then she would not have to face anyone.
However as her luck would have it, she would not be left alone in peace. Malcom Hardy decided to have a word with her, about her actions the past couple of days.
"Tonks we need to talk in my office." Hardy said as he glared at Tonks.
Tonks looked up at him and glared. "I'm busy at the moment!" She said curtly and returned to the mound of papers in front of her.
"That was not a request Miss Tonks! I want your butt in my office in ten minutes!" Hardy said as he abruptly turned and walked off.
Tonks slammed her fist on her desk successful knocking the mound of papers off of it. "Just bloody brilliant! Can this damn day get any better?" Tonks cried as she bent down to pick up the papers she knocked off.
"Tonks!" Came Kingsley's voice from above her desk.
Tonks jumped and as a result smacked her head off of her desk. "For Merlin's sake!" She screamed as she rubbed her head dropping the papers back to the floor that she had just picked up. "What do you want?"
Kingsley looked at her for a moment as she continued to rub her head. "You look like hell, but that is another matter. I want you in my office in ten minutes!"
Tonks glared at him as she stood up. "Get in line then, cause Hardy wants to see me too!"
"Forget Hardy, be in my office, and I will deal with Hardy!" Kingsley said as he turned and left Tonks once again alone.
"Can it get any worse?" Tonks asked aloud as she stood up to go to Kingsley office.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry was not in the mood for dealing with anyone, and especially didn't feel like taking any tests. After his encounter with Quake, Harry decided he would go up to his room. That way maybe no one would come looking for him, at least not till lunch, since most didn't get up till then.
However Harry's luck was turning out to be as bad as it could be. On his way to his room he ran into Tiger. "Good morning Wolf, sleep well?" Tiger asked in a full upbeat mood.
Harry scowled at Tiger's bubbling mood. "What so bloody good about it?"
Tiger was taken a back a bit by Wolf's response. "Wow, just trying to be nice, no need to bite my head off."
"What do you want Tiger?" Harry asked, not even caring, if he was being rude or not.
Tiger remained calm as he smiled at Harry. "You will be testing with me today. I wanted to make sure you were up cause after breakfast I want to get started."
"Fine, I'll be in my room when you're done. I assume you know where it is." Harry said curtly and made his way to his room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonks made her way to Kingsley's office and sat down after closing the door. "What did you want?"
"First I suggest that you lose the attitude Miss Tonks, because I do not take it too kindly. Second I asked you here because Dumbledore has finished interrogating the two Death Eaters that were brought in. It took some time, but Dumbledore managed to get some information out of them. They said that it wasn't Harry Potter that attacked them. They said that it was some one calling himself Silver Wolf. Did you interview anyone in the pub by that name?" Kingsley asked as he looked at Tonks.
Tonks instantly thought back to that night. She had in fact talked to Silver Wolf, and now that she thought about it. It all made perfect sense to her, but now she had another dilemma. "No sir, I only got the chance to interview one person in the pub that night. Though he was far to drunk to give me any useful information." Tonks lied hoping that Kingsley didn't know more than he was letting on.
Kingsley frowned slightly as he looked over a parchment in front of him. "I have looked over the other reports, and it seems that none of them investigated this mysterious silver wolf either. I am starting to think that these Death Eaters were able to lie to Dumbledore, even if it seems impossible. Either that or this mysterious Silver Wolf just vanished into thin air. Either way I want you to look into the connection. Dumbledore wants to know what the connection between Silver Wolf and Harry are. We were sure that Harry was behind the attack, since it was his wand used, but now we don't know what to think. It is quite possible that this Silver Wolf might have done something to Harry and taken his wand."
Tonks lost in her own musing only caught bits of what Kingsley was saying, but knew enough to get by. "I will check into sir, that is unless Hardy has other plans for me."
Kingsley looked up at her and smirked. "I have decided that Mr. Hardy should not be in charge of that team any longer. He has tried numerous times to over step my authority, and have decided to reassign him. Tonks it is in the best interest of the Order, that you take a more active role in this investigation. Miss Tonks I am here by placing you in command of the team."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promptly following his breakfast Tiger went up to Harry's room and got him for the testing.
Harry found himself outside the mansion once more, and again had no clue what sort of test he would be put through.
"Mr. Wolf, today we will see how quick you are. You must be both quick of mind and quick on your feet to make it in this world. This test may take you a bit to complete, but from what I hear of you, you should do fine." Tiger said, still not getting to the point of the test.
Harry glared at Tiger, he was in no mood for games, and it seemed that Tiger knew that. However Tiger still insisted on playing his mind games with him. "What is the test?"
Tiger looked at Harry and smiled again, which added to Harry's already bad mood. "It is quite simple Mr. Wolf. All you have to do is complete to course laid out in front of you before time expires. I will provide you with a map and directions, and then it is up to you to complete it. I will be waiting at the end watching the timer, if you make it to me before time runs out you pass."
It all seemed too simple to Harry, and he knew that it would be anything but simple. "Fine, give me what I need and then I can get started."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonks left Kingsley's office still lost in her own thoughts. 'I knew something was different about Silver Wolf, but could it be? Could he possible be Harry? If so then why didn't he react when I told him who I was? Come to think of it, he did seem a bit forward, but most men have that habit with me. Maybe it was Harry, and that is why he had come onto me. Though if I am wrong then Harry could be in serious trouble. What if Kingsley was right? What if Silver Wolf did do something to Harry and stole his wand?'
Tonks was brought out of her musing as she collided with someone. She looked down and a sneer came to her face.
"Tonks! Watch where you are walking or I will make sure you no longer work here." Hardy said with the harshest tone possible.
Tonks sneered at him as she stood up. "Hardy I have had just enough of you. Thank Merlin that so has Kingsley!"
Tonks walked away from the confused Hardy. Apparently he didn't know that he had been replaced yet, and Tonks knew once he found out he would be furious. This brought a bit of a smile to her face as she continued towards her small space.
'I have to find out more about this Silver Wolf character. If he truly is Harry, then I want to know. If he isn't then I am going to make him tell me what he has done to him and where he is! If he did hurt Harry in any way I swear I will kill him myself!' Tonks thought as she gloomily returned to the task of picking up the papers she knocked off her desk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tiger gave Harry his map and his directions for the test. Harry stood looking over the directions as Tiger took off for the end.
This is a test of speed, but there are a few rules that must be abided by.
Rule 1: No Apparating!
Rule 2: No Portkeys!
Rule 3: All other magic is allowed.
You may use any means to complete this test, as long as it is not in violation of rules one and two.
Harry grinned as he looked at the first portion of the directions. "That is pretty simple, not like when I faced Blade without magic."
First: You are to make your way down the shoreline of the island. This portion should take no more than a half hour, since the shoreline is only twenty-five miles in length.
Second: Once you reach the end of the shore, you will find a transport boat waiting for you. You are to take the boat to the designation indicated on the map. However you may use any method you see fit to get to the location, as long as it doesn't break rule one or two.
Third: Once you arrive on the island location you are to make your way to the final destination. This will not be easy as other obstacles have been eructated to prevent your arrival.
Fourth: The final destination is a small house. Once inside you will have to make your way to the main room, where I will be waiting for you. If you manage to get there before time runs out, then you will pass. Otherwise you will fail, and be sent home!
Harry grinned broadly as he looked at the directions. "Piece of cake. I thought he would give me more of a challenge really."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonks had just finished cleaning her small space when her luck turned back once more.
"TONKS!" Came Hardy's harsh voice before he even entered her small space. "What in the hell is the meaning of this? I don't know what you said to Kingsley, but I swear you will regret the day you crossed me!" He continued as he stormed into Tonks' area.
Tonks quickly got to her feet, unfortunately for her, her knees hit the desk sending the papers back to the floor she just picked up. "Damn it!" She screamed as she looked at the mess on her floor once more. Then she turned her attention to an irate Hardy. "I didn't say a damn thing to him. I told you to watch what you did, but you didn't listen. You pissed off Kingsley, so you deserve to be replaced!"
Hardy just glared at her with a sneer on his face. "I know you did something, and I will prove it! Don't think for a minute that I wont be talking to the minister about this. I will not all you or that idiot Kingsley screw this up for me! mark my words Tonks by the end of the day both of you will be looking for new lines of work or even better will be sitting in Azkaban!"
Tonks turned red with rage as she looked at Hardy. "Get out and have that office you're in cleared out by lunch! As your replacement I am entitled to it, and I will expect it empty by time I get there! If it isn't I will see to it that you are put on dung detail for the next year!"
Hardy glared at Tonks with a sneer, and left the space looking even more enraged than he was when he came in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry pulled the shrunken version of his Firebolt out of his pocket. After a quick enlargement charm the broom was back to its normal glory.
"He didn't say I couldn't fly, so its not like a breaking any rules." Harry muttered as he mounted his broom. It felt great to be back on his old friend, he had thought about buying a newer model, but couldn't bring himself to do it. After all it was Sirius who bought him the broom, and he didn't have many things from his godfather any more.
Thinking quickly and flying fast were too things that Harry was good at. As such he figured that there might be some things in his way to slow him. He muttered an invisibility charm over him and his broom. As long as he avoided fighting he could stay concealed under it.
He flew down the shoreline looking down at it looking for obstacles that would have slowed him down, but couldn't see any. Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind he raced down to where the boat was waiting for him.
He was tempted to take the boat to the small island, but decided that it wasn't safe. Not really knowing what types of traps might be in place it was safer to take his broom.
Harry continued to fly until he saw the small island come into view. He landed on the shore and got off his broom. The island had dense trees, which would have been impossible to fly through on it. After shrinking his broom he placed it in his pocket and consulted his map.
By taking his broom Harry save himself at least a half hour or more. Now that would prove beneficial if he had to fight his way to the house on the island. After looking at the map a few more times, he found the path he was to take.
Harry looked at the path with a smirk on his face. Harry concentrated for a moment and started to transform. He went from his human form and changed into a Silver Saber Wolf. Harry sniffed the air around him and then the entrance to the path. After a moment he reverted back to human form.
"Nice try Tiger, you would want me to walk right in there. If I was some gullible kid I probably would have, but I know better than to walk into an ambush." Harry said to himself as he started to look for a new path to follow in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By noon Tonks had her new office, and had finished moving all her things into it. It was nice having more space, but still it seemed empty to her.
She had met up with her team and told them that she was running it. That Malcom Hardy had been moved to another department but she wouldn't tell them where, since she didn't know where he was going she couldn't. She also got a briefing on the situation, which still hand not changed. They still couldn't pick up Harry's wand signature and this worried Tonks more than anything.
She sat in her office worrying about the lack of activity. Either Harry was lying low after his run in with the Death Eaters or something more grave had happened. Silver Wolf could have just used the wand that one time out of desperation and no longer had any use for it. Thoughts kept crashing into her mind and some were not thoughts that she cared to be thinking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry was once again in his silver saber wolf form and was sniffing around for a new way to get to the house. He had heightened senses in this form, and though he kept his ready mind, he didn't have to deal so heavily with the thoughts of Tonks.
In this form all he thought about was surviving this test. He would have enough time to think about the woman he loves, when he was in human form, no need to do it when he was a wolf.
After a few minutes of sniffing he found the travel that smelt something like Tiger. Only it was a bit more feline in nature, but it was still his scent. Tiger must have used the path to sneak to the house, without being caught by his own traps. Harry instantly started up the path that he took.
It took ten minutes to get through the woods, but soon he came to a clearing just outside the woods. He reverted back to his human form and looked around. "So that is how you want to play? Guess you didn't count on me being an Animagus!" Harry chuckled slightly at his comment.
Harry then saw the house up in the distance. It was a run down shack at best, that was two stories in height. As Harry looked he saw that there was a large creation blocking the main door into the house. He then looked up and saw an open window on the top floor.
Harry pulled out his broom and once again brought it to its normal size. After muttering an invisibility spell on himself he took off flying for the window. He glided into the window and found that the room he was in was deserted.
He muttered a silencing charm on himself and a spell to mask his odor. He then eased his way out after doubling his invisibility spell. He quietly made his way down the stairs where he saw Blade, Spade, and Tiger all standing with their wands aimed at the front door.
'Three against one huh?' Harry thought to himself as he aimed his wand at them. He then sent three stunners at them before they even knew what hit them. All three men fell to the ground out cold. Harry quickly bound them all and took their wands before reviving them.
"Nice try guys, but your all died!" Harry said with a triumphant smile on his face.
Spade just rolled his eyes as he looked at Silver Wolf standing there with a wand pointed at him.
Blade laughed a bit once he got a sense of what happened. "I told you it wouldn't work Tiger."
Tiger seemed the most shocked out of all of them. "How did you? It isn't possible!"
"This was never about time was it Tiger? You wanted me to fail this test to prove that I wasn't worthy of being here right?" Harry said with a sneer at Tiger.
Harry untied Blade and Spade but kept Tiger bound up. Blade and Spade both stood up and looked at Harry with renewed respect.
"How did you get by the quicksand on the beach? How did you managed to avoid the whirlpools in the water? How in the hell did you get a past Quake and Ice Queen in the woods let alone all the other traps I placed there?" Tiger asked still trying desperately to figure it all out.
Harry just laughed a bit as he glared at Tiger. "It all seemed to simple, so I decided you had to have some other traps for me. I didn't know about the quicksand, though I figured there was something there. I merely flew up the shoreline and over to this island. The boat was unquestionably a trap; I mean anyone could have figured that out. As for your little ambush in the woods, you will have to figure out that one on your own. Though I am sure Quake and Ice Queen are still waiting for me to come along. I never passed either of them."
Blade placed his hand on Harry's shoulder. "Well done Wolf, I knew you wouldn't fall for any of it. Though Tiger here was sure you would."
Spade just smiled as he looked down at Tiger. "Looks like he got the better of you Tiger. Now you might want to rethink your test for future use, because I am sure that Wolf will out do you again."
Tiger was clearly mad when he was left out of the bindings and stormed off to find Ice Queen and Quake.
Harry looked at Spade and his expression turned back to one of depression and hurt. "After dinner I wish to go back to England."
Spade and Blade looked a bit shocked by his statement. Blade looked a bit down hearted as he spoke. "I hope you are not reconsidering joining. Tiger didn't mean anything by his test; it is the one he uses on all new recruits. Though you're the first to pass it in a long time."
Harry looked him in the eyes. "No, I am not quitting the training or the tests. I just need some time alone; much like you needed last night Blade. I would like to return to England tonight, and I will find Spade at his pub when I am ready to return back here."
Spade looked at Harry and grinned. "I will set up a Portkey for you to leave after dinner. As for me bringing you back. I think you have proven enough that you are worthy of a skull. I want you to have your own black skull, which will bring you back to the mansion when you are ready. There is no hurry we will be around when you are ready to continue."
