bLacKBodian: Harry is twenty-one in the story.

Borg: I know that I would not only get positive reviews, but your review isn't worth much since you really don't tell much about why you dislike the story. Like I have said before if you don't like it then don't read it.

Spade gave them the speech about staying out of trouble two more times before finally giving them the port key to his office at the Jade Scorpion pub in Knockturn Alley. He also reminded them to use the emergency button on the skull if they got into trouble. Though they told him that it wouldn't be necessary he still felt better about telling them. He also gave Tonks her own black skull Portkey so she could return if she got separated from Harry.

They waited for the Portkey to activate and then were instantly transported to Spade's office. They made their way out of the office into the pub and made their way out into the alley. They carefully made their way up the dark forbidding alley that they knew was crawling with less than credible people. Once they were securely in Diagon Alley they felt the lump of dread in their throats lift.

"How about we go look at some robes?" Tonks asked as she held firmly on to Harry's arm.

"Sure if that's what you want to do first. After all we did come here to get you some clothes." Harry replied with a smile on his face as he held her arm in his.

They made their way into Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Harry waited patiently as possible as Madam Malkin measured Tonks for her robes. It took the better part of an hour to get everything that Tonks needed for her extended stay at the mansion.

After paying for all that she bought Harry led Tonks out of the shop carrying her bags for her. "How about we stop by the Leaky Cauldron before we head back?"

Tonks looked at Harry and smiled. "That sounds great I am a bit thirsty after all that."

Harry led Tonks off down the street to the Leaky Cauldron and proceeded to sit her bags down at a table. "What would you like?"

Tonks grinned as she sat down. "I will take a butterbeer, I don't want to drink too much."

Harry just smiled as he walked over to the bar to order the butterbeers. As Harry was waiting to place his order with the bartender he caught a glimpse of some red pass the window. A moment later he saw what it was as a man about twenty years old walked into the Leaky Cauldron following behind a bushy brown haired lady around twenty years old.

Harry grinned and looked away as he realized who had just walked into the pub. Of all the times for them to come in this had to be one of the most ironic to Harry. He didn't look at them but listened intently.

"You can find us a table and I will get us some drinks." The red haired man said to his lady companion as he made his way over beside Harry.

Harry had a small grin on his face as he thought to himself 'he still is trying to be the man of the family, but yet he knows she wears the pants in that relationship.'

The red haired man slammed his fist on the bar. "Hey Tom you going to keep your customers waiting all night?"

Tom, the owner, made his way down the bar and looked at the red haired man with a gleam in his eyes. "Wait your turn Mr. Weasley this gentleman was here before you."

Harry grinned as he looked at Tom and then at Ronald Weasley. "By all means good sir, wait on this young man and then I will place my order." Harry had taken the appearance of an older gentleman in his late forties so to hide who he truly was, so he liked acting his role.

Tonks had decided to take the appearance of a lady in her mid thirties, since she hated taking on older roles. Though this time she figured a young lady with an older man would seem a bit out of place.

Ron looked at Harry, thought didn't know it was him, and nodded. "Thank you, my wife and I are in a bit of a hurry tonight." Ron looked at Tom again. "Tom I am sorry for being rude, it just has been a long day. Can I have two Fire Whiskeys?"

Tom just nodded as he turned to get him his fire whiskeys.

Harry looked at him and tried to hide his grin, Harry would have loved to see his expression if he knew that he was standing by him, though he knew he couldn't reveal that to his once best mate. "Mr. Weasley was it? You seem a bit tense, what could be bothering a young man like you?"

Ron extended his hand to Harry. "Ronald Weasley and you are?"

"Victor Arnold" Harry said with a gleam in his eyes, at the name he came up with for himself.

"Well Victor, you could say that today hasn't been the best in my life and trust me I have had some bloody terrible days." Ron said as he took the two bottles from Tom and paid him for them.

Harry just nodded as Ron walked off to join Hermione, who had unknowingly chose to sit at the table next to where Tonks was waiting for Harry.

Harry got his two butterbeers from Tom and walked over to where Tonks was seated and instantly knew that she recognized the couple across from them. It would have shocked Harry if she hadn't recognized them. Harry sat down the butterbeer in from of Tonks, and looked into her, now, brown eyes. "Something wrong?"

Tonks blinked a few times being drawn out of her thoughts as she looked at Harry, she then spoke in a hushed tone so no one could hear her but Harry. "It is weird seeing them and not being able to talk with them. After all we have been through it is rough being in the world, but yet not part of it."

Harry placed his hand on Tonks' hand. "I know my dear, it was a bit weird for me too." Harry lowered his voice as he moved his head closer to Tonks. "Ron was talking to me at the bar, so I definitely know. He seems so worked up and on edge."

Tonks took a drink of her butterbeer. "Maybe this wasn't such a wise choice after all. I don't know if I am ready for this type of interaction yet."

"We have been trained to deal with this time of situation." Harry said half heartily, but inside he longed to show his friends who he truly was.

Harry and Tonks sat in silence drinking their butterbeers, but the silence didn't last long before Hermione's bossy irate voice came booming towards them. "How am I to calm down? First we are kept in the dark about him leaving and now I find out that he is being held against his will! On top of that she is missing now too!"

"Hermione lower your voice do you want everyone in here to hear you?" Ron said in a hushed, but angry voice.

Harry looked a bit concerned as he looked at Tonks. "Do you think she is talking about us?" he asked in a hushed voice so only Tonks could hear him.

Tonks just merely nodded her head unable to find her voice, as she looked more horrified by Hermione's outburst than what Harry did.

Harry sat there somberly as he finished his butterbeer, wishing he had something stronger to elevate some of the thoughts running through his mind. 'I don't think even the strongest whiskey could help me forget tonight. Though I wouldn't mind giving that Red Dragon Wine a try that Blade had. How could I do this to everyone? I have placed everyone into a panic that they didn't need, not now, not when Voldemort was looking for control and power.'

Hermione had got a job working for the ministry in the department of mysteries after graduation from Hogwarts so it was no wonder that she knew about Harry and Tonks being held hostage by Silver Wolf.

It took all of Harry's strength and courage not to reveal who he was to Hermione. Instead he stood up and motioned for Tonks to follow him. They gathered all Tonks' bags and then made their way out of the pub.

Tonks stopped dead in her tracks as they made their way into Diagon Alley and away from the scene back in the Leaky Cauldron. She hesitated for a moment and then looked at Harry with concern and tears swelling up inside her eyes. "What are we going to do? We can't keep making people suffer like they are. We need to tell them that were fine, but how can we without causing even more trouble?"

Harry looks down at the ground ashamed of all the trouble that he caused, but then looks at Tonks again. "We will figure something out my dear, but right now isn't the time for that. We need to get back to the island and prepare for what Quake has in store for us tomorrow."

Harry and Tonks start walking down Diagon Alley as two Aurors come walking down the alley from the other direction. Tonks and Harry stop and look at them for a moment and it is clear that it is two nearer Aurors that were in training with Harry.

Tonks leans in close to Harry and whispers. "I bet they are hunting for Silver Wolf."

Harry just grins as he looks at the two Aurors, and then at Tonks. "It would seem that way, but I know those two. They barely made it through trainer, I doubt either of them could find their way, without a map."

Tonks playfully smacks Harry as they continue walking down the alley trying not to act suspicious as they near the two Aurors.

"Hardy wont be happy if we don't find him." One of the Aurors said as Tonks and Harry drew close enough to hear.

The other Auror spotting Tonks and Harry quickly silences his partner by placing his hand up.

Harry and Tonks keep walking as they pass them acting as if they didn't hear anything. They make their way to the Jade Scorpion pub and go inside. As they enter they see that there are more than a few unscrupulous patrons inside it. They make their way over to a private table and sit down.

Harry slides a wand down and casts a silencing charm around them as he looks at Tonks. "Those two are working for Hardy now, I wonder how many of the other Aurors are working for him now."

Tonks reaches over and takes Harry's hand in hers. "It doesn't matter how many are, we will find a way to beat him. We have to, we can't allow him to do this to Kingsley."

The bartender walks over and recognizes them from when they entered the pub through the boss' office. "Mr. Spade said that your key home would be ready in a half hour, if you are ready to leave that is."

Harry looks at the bartender for a moment. "Is he here?"

"No sir." The bartender started and then lowers his voice. "He returned to the island, but left word with me to tell you about the Portkey."

Harry looks at Tonks and then at the bartender again. "We will take two bottles of butterbeer while we wait then."

"As you wish sir." The bartender walks off acting like he was just taking their order instead of actually delivering the message.

"Between our friends being all worked up, and Hardy taking control I don't know what's worse any more." Tonks said as she continued holding on to Harry's hand.

If Harry didn't feel bad enough about it to start with, this didn't help make him feel one bit better. "We will figure something out, we just have to stay focused on what we have to do tomorrow though."

"I know the test requires our focus Harry, but what of our friends? We really need to worry about taking care of that and we need to find a way to bring Hardy down as well."

"We will Tonks, we will figure it all out." Harry says as the bartender brings their butterbeers over to them.

Tonks and Harry sat drinking their butterbeers as they waited for the Portkey to the island to be activated. When their wait was up they made their way into Spade's office and found the key that he had left for them and used it to get back to the island.

Harry and Tonks didn't speak to anyone as they made their way up to their room, and readied for bed. They wanted to be well rested for the test that they had the next morning for they knew it would not be an easy test.
