Shinigami-Sama1: Well in JKR's world he will probably defeat Voldemort by year seven, but for this story I had to make it that he didn't.
Harry is lying in bed when Tonks walks into the room to find that he is awake. "How are you feeling Harry?"
"Better now that I have rested, and the potion helped as well." Harry says as he looks at Tonks.
"That's good I was worried about you after that run in with that spider." Tonks says as she bends down and kisses Harry on the forehead.
Harry looks at Tonks as she stands back up. "Is there any clue to how that spider got into the maze?"
"Not yet, Quake still says that he had nothing to do with it. Spade believes Quake, and I tend to believe him too, but that means someone wanted us not to pass that test."
Harry looks at Tonks as a bit of rage comes to his eyes. "Tiger!"
"Harry you can't think that Tiger did this." Tonks says trying to defend the one member of the team that was a bit upset by Harry outsmarting him.
"He wanted to eliminate us, that's why he set up the decoy by sending Blade in." Harry says as he thinks back to the test that about cost him everything.
"Spade spoke with Quake and Tiger and they both said that the decoy was part of the test. He wasn't looking to hurt us Harry, he was only testing us like the rest of them are."
"Then you tell me how a giant spider got into that bloody maze Tonks!" Harry says feeling even more enraged by it.
Tonks sits down beside Harry and places her arms around him. "I don't know how it got in there, but I swear we will find out. Quake said that he used his gifts to make the maze and put in the obstacles. No one else had access to the maze, so no one knows how the spider got in there yet."
"Someone knows how that spider got in there and when I find out who put it there I swear I am going to make them pay."
After a few days of rest Harry found that he was able to once again walk normally. The potion that he had been given worked perfectly to heal his broken leg. Though the lack of knowing who put that spider in the maze was driving everyone insane.
Harry and Tonks sit in Spade's office as he looks at a paper on his desk. "Harry I am really sorry about what happened and I assure you that I am doing everything in my power to find out how that spider got into that maze."
"Spade you told me this island was safe, that no one could find us. Yet it would seem that someone was out to hurt me or Tonks and that I will not stand for." Harry looks pissed as he speaks his mind.
"I don't know what to say Harry, but I think it is best that we move up Ice Queen's test, and get it done as soon as possible." Spade says as he looks at Harry.
"Someone is trying to kill us and all your worried about is your damn tests!" Harry shouts as he stands up showing that he was clearly enraged.
"Harry calm down honey, I am sure that Spade knows what he is doing." Tonks says as she tries to calm Harry down so they don't have a repeat of the last time he lost his cool and caught Spade's desk on fire.
"Tonks is right Harry I am only thinking about your best interest, and I will personally over see Ice Queen's test to make sure nothing happens to either of you.
"Fine have her set the damn test up, but I swear if anyone tries to kill Tonks or me I will not hesitate to kill them!" Harry says as he storms out of the office.
Tonks looks at Spade with concern in her eyes. "I truly hope that it isn't someone on your team because I am afraid that Harry means what he says."
Harry is sitting in his room when Tonks walks in and finds him. His eyes are glassed over as she looks at him and at first she becomes a bit concerned seeing him like this. It is as if he is in some sort of a trance.
"Harry are you alright?" Tonks says as she walks over to him. She shakes him a bit and after a few seconds he snaps out of it.
"What? Oh sorry I was trying to analyze the events of that maze test to see if I could find anything to help me solve how the spider got in there." Harry says as he slowly comes out of his trance.
"Guess you have been working on your Occlumency and how to use it to analyze things in your mind."
Harry grins as he looks at Tonks. "Yeah I have practiced a lot since my fifth year in school, and have perfected it to the point that I can replay my memories so I can analyze every aspect of the memory."
Tonks grins as she thinks about how much Harry had improved in his skills since she had first met the boy in the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts. "Maybe you could help me prefect my Occlumency one of these days."
"Sure I will help you with anything you want Tonks." Harry says, as he looks Tonks in the eyes and smiles.
"Thanks, so you figure anything out in your mind?" Tonks asks as she looks at Harry's sparkling emerald green eyes.
Harry looks down as he loses his smile. "No, I haven't found anything that would help in solving how that spider got into the maze. I guess that we will never know how it got in there."
"It's okay Harry we will just have to be more careful going into the next test. After all Ice Queen's test is supposed to be one of the toughest tests that we will have to take."
"I am sure the Ice Queen will come up with an intense test for us to take, but I am also sure that we will be able to over come all odds and complete her test." Harry says as he lies back on the bed.
"As a result of the incident during Quake's test it has been decided by me that Ice Queen's test will not take place on my island. I have another private island that no one knows about that will be used for her test. However I must tell you both that her test will not be easy, because for it I have to bring in other members of my organization." Spade says as he looks at Harry and Tonks.
"What? How can we know that it will be safe with more people being involved?" Harry asks as he stands up looking at Spade.
"Harry if you would kindly calm down I will tell you how I will know it is safe for my members to participate in this test. First though I want to point out that these people are not my inner circle, so their trustworthiness is unknown to me. I know for a fact that my inner circle of Blade, Tiger, Quake, and Ice Queen are absolutely loyal, and have nothing to do with the attempt on your lives. Now to answer your question I am going to have all the members that are to help be tested with truth serum to see if they have any connection to the attempt on your lives or if they will try anything to harm either of you." Spade says as he looks at Harry with calming eyes.
Harry calms down a bit but he is still a bit uncertain about this. "I want to be there when the test is done. If someone is guilty then I want to deal with them."
"Harry I know you want revenge for what happened but I will not have you killing anyone even if they are found guilty." Spade says with a determined look in his eyes.
"You're damn right that I want revenge, and Spade nothing you can say will stop me from getting revenge if I find out who tried to kill Tonks and I. However I will not kill them, but I will make them suffer." Harry says with as much determination as Spade had.
"Fine as long as we are clear that you wont kill any traitors then you can be there." Spade says as he stands to dismiss Harry and Tonks.
The next day Spade arranges for all the members that he needed to be brought to his club in Knockturn Alley. Harry sits in Spade's office in disguise along with Quake and Tonks, who is also in disguise.
The first person is brought in; it is a young lady about twenty years old, with long red hair. She looks at Spade and then at the others in the office. "You wished to see me Spade?" the woman says and instantly Harry's eyes look her over with a cautious gleam.
Harry looks at Spade and then leans over and whispers to him. "May I have a word with you?"
Spade nods and looks at the young lady for a moment. "Could you excuse me for one second, please have a seat and I will be right back." Spade stands up and walks out of the office followed quickly by Harry and Tonks.
"Wolf this better be important because we really need to get this done quickly." Spade says as he looks at Harry with a bit of concern in his eyes.
"Do you know who she is?" Harry asks as he looks at Spade.
Spade looks at Harry for a moment and then nods. "Her codename is Fox, and she works in the Department of Mysteries."
"Wolf is she who I think she is?" Tonks asks as she looks at him.
"Yeah that is Ginny Weasley." Harry says in a low voice for only Tonks and Spade to hear him.
"You know her then? Is there a problem with her working on this test?" Spade asks as he looks at Harry with even more concern in his eyes.
"I know her and I trust her, but I am a bit concerned about what she knows, and why she is working for you." Harry says as he looks at Spade.
"She doesn't know anything at this point in time, as for what she does for me. She is an informant for me within the ministry. I like to have eyes and ears all over to keep me informed of what is happening in the ministry."
"So she doesn't know who we are or anything, because since she was a friend of mine in school it would be hard to explain why I disappeared like I did. Also with the new connection between Silver Wolf and the disappearance of Harry Potter, she might be looking to plan a rescue."
"We will find out when we question her, now we should get back inside there." Spade says as he walks back inside his office followed by Harry and Tonks.
Spade sits down and looks at Ginny. "Sorry about the delay Fox. Now then I have called you here because I have a job for you, but before you can do it, you must agree to undergo a small dose of truth serum to ensure that you are right for the job. I will understand if you do not wish to do this, and if you don't you may walk out of this office with no questions asked."
Ginny looks at everyone for a moment and then directs her eyes on Spade. "Spade I have worked for you for over a year now, so if you now request this of me I have nothing to hide from you or anyone else here."
Spade grins as he motions for Quake to give her the dose of truth serum. After it is administered he makes his way back over to his seat.
"Fox have you or are you planning to harm or kill Silver Wolf?" Spade asks in a direct tone.
"No." Ginny says without hesitating.
Harry looks at her and then looks at Spade for his approval. "Fox are you here to save Harry Potter or capture Silver Wolf?"
"No, Harry Potter is my friend, but I am in no way able to save him if Silver Wolf truly does have him hostage." Ginny says feeling badly that she is unable to help her friend in any way.
"Okay I think it is decided that Fox is trustworthy enough for the job. Quake please take care of her, and then give her the envelope for her to know her role in the test. When that is done please bring in the next person."
Harry can't help but feel bad about the stress that he is putting on Ginny, after all she is a good friend. Though now there was no time to really deal with that now, as he had to focus on the current task.
One by one each member that would be used in the test was brought into the office and given the same test that Ginny was. Each one passed without hesitation, and finally it came to the last man on the list.
A man in his early twenties with short brown hair walks into the room. Instantly Harry recognizes him as the informant that was out the mansion the night before Quake's test. He had been there to give Spade his weekly report from the ministry.
After the truth serum was given to the man Spade looks at him for moment and then begins. "Have you or do you plan on harming or killing Silver Wolf or Panther?"
The man looks a bit frightened and sweats a bit. "Yes."
Harry is about to jump out of his seat, but Spade keeps him down. "Not yet." Spade says to Harry and then directs his attention back to the man. "Why have you or would you want to harm Silver Wolf?"
"I wanted to collect the 200,000 Galleon bounty that the Ministry is offering for his capture."
"Did you place the spider in the maze at my mansion?"
"Yes, I had hoped to injure Silver Wolf enough to collect the bounty."
"that's it!" Harry says as he stands up. "This man has tried to kill me for money! He is to be taken into custody at once!"
Spade looks at Harry and then looks down in disappointment. "It would seem that he is guilty, and therefore he shall be punished. Quake please take him into custody and take him back to the mansion."
"No! He will pay now!" Harry says as he jumps up and aims his wand at the man. "Crucio!"
The man falls to the floor screaming as everyone looks at Harry in horror for what he is doing.
"Wolf stop it now!" Spade says as he looks at Harry in horror.
Harry doesn't listen as he keeps the curse on the man, and the man continues to scream out in pain.
Tonks reaches over to Harry and grabs his shoulder. "Harry stop!"
Finally Harry comes to his senses and releases the man from the curse. "He could have killed you panther. He could have taken you from me forever just because he is a greedy bastard!"
"I know he deserves to be punished, but you have made him suffer now allow Spade to complete his punishment." Tonks says as she grabs Harry and pulls him into a hug as tears roll down her face.
Spade motions for Quake to take the man into custody and to be taken back to the mansion to serve out his punishment for the attempted murder of Silver Wolf. Quake walks over and grabs the man and then pulls out his skull and is transported back to the mansion.
A/N: I will allow you the reader to decide what should happen to the man that decided to put the spider into the maze just to collect the bounty of Silver Wolf's head. If I don't get any votes from you then I will do it as I have planned, but I want you to tell me how you would like to see happen to him.
