A/N: Well here is the rest of Ice Queen's test and you will find that the last chapter was only half of the challenge.
Thank you to all that have reviewed the chapter, Silverscale and foreverfree
Jessdarkwater: At this point they haven't passed yet because they have to make it to the end to pass, but you will find out more in this chapter. As for Ginny that is another thing that will have to be found out here.
Just Me: Your idea was good just like the others I got, and yes it could be a bit weird with them being excited. Though I think it will work out in the end, though they will have to watch if they torture many people since it could get a bit 'hard' to concentrate. The rest of the test and Ginny and Tonks reactions will be covered in this chapter. Though I am sure some will complain they are OOC. All I can say about that is remember that they are older and more mature in this story.
DJ Rodriguez: thanks for the review, and I am sure you will see more of Tonks using her 'assets' to get her through some tight situations. yes Harry does have a lot explaining to do, but first he must get Ginny, Tonks, and Himself out of this test without failing. ;)
RainingInsanity: I am glad you liked the test and I am sure your not the only one that has been dying to know what Ice Queen had planned for our heroes. It isn't over yet, but I am sure you will enjoy the ending or at least I hope you do.
Chapter 19: Making the Team
Tonks walked into the room as Ginny was hugging Harry and stared at them for a moment. "Wolf what is going on here?"
Harry looked at Tonks with a slight grin as he pulled out of Ginny's hug and made his way over to Tonks. "Panther I would like to introduce you to Ginny Weasley, also known as Fox. Panther she knows who I am, because I screwed up when I was looking for the Apparation point."
Tonks eyes went wide for a moment. "What do you mean she knows? Wolf what all does she know?"
"Well I kind of cast a charm, called Locaration, which only a few DA members knew about and Fox happened to be one of them. She heard me cast it, she knew right away who I was since Hermione and I made the spell." Harry said low enough for Tonks to hear, but not loud enough for the whole hotel to know it.
"Does she know who I am?" Tonks asked with a small bit of concern and a bit of joy in her voice. She wanted to tell Ginny who she was, but she knew she couldn't for security reasons.
"Not that I am aware of Panther, and right now isn't the time to go into details." Harry said as he returned to the map.
Tonks looked at Harry for a moment and then at Ginny. "You're right Wolf now isn't the time. I almost forgot why I came in here. The guys in the hall are becoming a bit restless because Jarvis never went back out."
"Shit! I forgot all about him." Harry said as he went into the other room and gave Jarvis the command to return to his post and wait for his signal to attack. After he finished with that he headed back into the other room and returned to the map. "The Apparation point is in the penthouse, I guess Ice Queen assumed we would go there and escape with the decoy, so she could fail us."
"She is a tricky witch." Tonks said as she looked at Harry. "So how do you plan on us getting to the penthouse?"
Harry grinned as he looked at Tonks. "Well first we need to get Fox a wand."
"Not a problem she can use my spare one since I got mine back from Jarvis." Tonks said as she handed Ginny the wand. "I just hope it works, since it isn't easy using a wand other than your own."
"Don't worry I think it will work fine for me Tonks." Ginny said with a wink as she took the wand.
"How?" Tonks stammered.
"Well after the display you and Harry put on in that hotel room when you were captured by Silver Wolf and now knowing Wolf is Harry, it all feel into place." Ginny said with a grin on her face.
"Fox you are a brilliant witch, but now we really need to get going." Harry said as he looked at the two women in front of him. "Now that Fox has a wand we just have to get out of here. We could do this one of two ways. One we could use stealth and escape or two we can walk out and take out the two guards in the hall."
"One problem there Wolf, the alarms remember as soon as we step out they will go off and alert all the guards in the other rooms." Tonks said as she looked at Harry.
"Why not just go around the alarms?" Ginny asked not sure if it was even possible.
"Exactly what I was thinking Fox, we will just have to get around them. Either of you know how to transfigure a person's appearance?" Harry asked as he looked at Ginny and Tonks.
"I never had a need for such a charm." Tonks said with a smirk.
"Well then it is probably good that with my work I have learned a great amount of spells. Wolf I know a spell that can change someone's appearance, but why?" Fox asked with a bit of concern in her voice.
Harry grinned as he looked at Ginny and Tonks. "Panther it looks like our tag team has become a trio to get us out of. Fox I want you to change yourself to look like one of these men in here, so you can slip out of the room without much trouble. Tonks you and I need to learn to fly real quick, so I think the Halcyon Tierces charm will come in handy for that."
"What is the plan then Fox escapes and we flew up to the penthouse?" Tonks asked as she grinned at Harry and Ginny.
"Actually I was going to have her go to our room and we would meet her there since the window in our room is still open. She could use one of our door cards to get in and then she would be able to change us back." Harry said as he looked at Tonks. "Though we could always fly up to the penthouse and attack the guard as birds."
Tonks grinned knowing her idea was kind of pointless considering they couldn't change back without help. It was also clear that Harry was the real master of planning, so his plan would probably work out. "We will do it your way oh great leader."
Tonks gave Ginny the door card for the room, so she would be able to get into their room. Ginny then turned them both into falcons before altering her own appearance so she would be able to make her way to their room without being caught. She opened the window for Tonks and Harry to fly out of and then made her way out of the room.
Harry and Tonks flew right up to the window that Harry had entered earlier, and then landed on the bed to wait for Ginny. Tonks was jumping around nervously on the bed as they waited for Ginny not sure where she was or what was taking her so long. Harry calmed her down some by placing his wing over her.
They waited for ten minutes before Ginny finally made her way into the room and walked over to the two falcons on the bed. She aimed her wand at them and changed them back to normal.
"Sorry it took me so long, but you took had the advantage of flying up here." Ginny said with a small smile on her face as she looked at Harry and Tonks on the bed together.
"That's fine Fox, I am glad to see you made it here with no problems." Harry said as he stood up. "Now we have to make our way to the penthouse, and I am not sure how well it will be protected."
Tonks stood up and stood behind Harry slightly and looked at him and Ginny. "I am willing to bet that Ice Queen has guards watching the elevator on to the penthouse floor expecting us to make our way up there."
"No doubt about that and she probably has a couple watching the stairs as well." Ginny said as she smiled at Harry and Tonks.
"Well then we will just have to make sure to take them out when we get there." Harry said as he spread out the blueprints of the building on to the bed. "Okay if we assume they are watching the penthouse floor closely then, we should be able to get to the fiftieth floor of this hotel without much trouble by taking the elevator. Now then there are two, maybe three ways to get to the penthouse from that floor."
"Well I know we can us the elevator or the stairs, but what is the third way?" Tonks asked as she looked at the blueprints with Harry and Ginny.
Harry grinned as he pointed at the ventilation shaft that he had showed her earlier. "Right here is the third way, this shaft goes right up to the roof, and there is a vent on the penthouse floor like all the rest. Getting up the shaft would be the real challenge since it will be a climb to go up a level. However I think it is our best bet, because they wouldn't expect us to come out of there. We could probably use a levitation charm to get us up to the next level."
"I know I am the hostage here, but might I make a suggestion?" Ginny asked as she looked at Harry and Tonks.
Tonks grinned. "Ginny, I mean Fox, you are more than a hostage now, you are one of us for the time being."
"Exactly, Fox you know I trust you, so lets hear your suggestion." Harry said as she looked at her.
"Well you're right they wouldn't expect us to use the shaft, but if by chance they do then we would be sitting ducks. I think since there are three ways in and three of us we should divide and conquer. Harry you are really fast with your spells, so if you were to come up the stairs under a concealment charm you could take out those guards. Tonks you are great too at casting, and since you can morph you could take the elevator up in disguise and blast any guards watching it. I would then come up the shaft and be your backup."
"That's an excellent plan, what you think Wolf?" Tonks asked as she looked at him.
"Sounds like a plan, but the timing has to be perfect. One miscue and it could be the end of us."
"Well we need to get it into action soon cause we are running out of time." Tonks said as she looked at a magical clock in the room.
"Then it is settled we will pull this off if we all hit our marks at the same time. So Fox can you get up the shaft in two minutes?" Harry asked as he looked at Ginny.
"No problem Wolf, that should be plenty of time. It may take me a minute to get from the ventilation opening to your position, so I would say three minutes should do it to get up and meet you."
"Okay then that's what you have, we will take out as many guards as we can while we wait for you." Tonks said with a grin.
Harry, Ginny, and Tonks made their way out of the room and made their way to the elevator, which they took to the fiftieth floor. Once there they separated and went to their positions to pull off the final attack to complete the test.
Harry cast a concealment charm on himself and started up the stairs as the two women in the group go ready to pull off their own parts of the plan. As Harry made it up the stairs he saw two guards standing off to the side looking down at the stairs waiting for someone to come up. They were positioned in a way that if Harry stunned one the other would be free to shot at him. He walked carefully up the remaining stairs and on to the flat level at the top. He waited for a minute, so the girls would have time to get into place. He stood behind the men and after the minute was up he fired two stunners at the same time knocking both men down before they had a chance to react. Harry quickly bounded them and then headed to the door.
Tonks took the elevator up to the floor and she once gain looked like the maid as the elevator doors opened. There were two guards standing on opposite side of the door as it opened and pointed their wands at her.
"Owe I am here to clean the penthouse boys." Tonks said in her best imitation maid voice as she looked at the wands pointed at her.
"Sorry, but there is no cleaning to be done on this floor." One of the guards said as he lowered his wand.
"Yeah all the servants were to be told that there would be no access to this floor today." The other guard added as he lowered his wand and stared at Tonks' exposed cleavage.
"Sorry boys I am new, and I must have missed that meeting." Tonks said as she stepped out of the elevator. "Since I am already here, could I just do my job and be on my way?"
"Sorry babe, but we can't permit that." The guard said as he hit the button for the elevator to come back.
"Are you sure?" Tonks asked as she pressed her body up against the guard's body.
The other guard was too busy staring at Tonks to realize that someone stepped out of the stair well and before he knew what hit him he fell to the floor stunned.
Tonks heard the man drop and acted shocked. "What's going on here?"
"You have to leave now!" The guard said as he turned and fired a stunner towards the stairway.
Tonks used his distraction to hit him in the back with a stunner and then she bound both guards and levitated them into the air. "Wolf its clear."
Harry stepped out and saw the two guards in the air and grinned. "Nice work, stash them over here and we will go find Fox."
Ginny made her way to the ventilation shaft and cast a sticking charm on her hands that enabled her to climb a sheer wall with no problem. With the charm in place she climbed up the shaft to the next floor and then undid the charm, so she could crawl to the opening at the end. As she looked out of the cover she saw a guard on the floor below the opening, and one standing about ten feet away by the door. Ginny sent a stunner through the opening in the vent cover and the man below dropped to the floor, however this alerted the other guard.
The other guard moved down and fired three stunners up at the ventilation opening, but the cover blocked them from hitting Ginny, but she was trapped with no way to get out.
Harry and Tonks waited for a minute and when Ginny didn't come up to them they decided to go to her. As they rounded the corner they saw the guard firing stunners at the opening, and then he revived his fallen comrade.
They knew Ginny was trapped, so they concealed themselves and walked down the corridor until they had a direct shot at the two guards. They both fired stunners at the same time dropping the two guards.
Harry undid his concealment and went to get Ginny from the ventilation shaft as Tonks watched out for more guards.
"Sorry Wolf, I guess I messed up the plan." Ginny said as she dropped down to the floor.
"You did great Fox, now lets finish this!" Harry said as he looked over Ginny and then led her back to Tonks. "Okay we are almost out, all we need to do is get into the room and Apparate out."
Tonks and Ginny both nodded and then followed behind Harry as he went for the door. Harry went in first, followed by Ginny, and Tonks brought up the rear keeping any eye out for anyone behind them.
As the door opened a stunner came flying at Harry and he quickly shielded from it, and sent one back. The guard had ducked back behind a second door that led to the bedroom. Harry was keeping his shield in place as the guard came out to fire another stunner. Ginny saw the man slightly and quickly sent a stunner dropping the guard to the floor.
Harry smiled his thanks and led the way into the bedroom where the woman who was the decoy sat tied to the chair. Harry undid the bindings on her and then all four Apparated out of the room to the stop where Ice Queen said to meet her.
"Wow you did it, and with a whole two minutes to spare." Ice Queen said as she saw four people appear in front of her.
"Yeah we did it, we even saved your little decoy that was to throw us off." Harry said with a grin.
"I see this, and I must say I am impressed." Ice Queen said as she continued to look over them. "So I assume all my guards have been taken out?"
"Yep I think you will find they are all bound in the hotel waiting for you to get them. Also there is a maid who was stunned and bounded as well." Tonks said with a smirk still in his maid disguise.
Ice Queen gave a small grin as she held up two books. "I will be sure to check on her as well. Now then Panther and Wolf you will use this book to get back to headquarters. Fox this book will take you to your office at the Ministry. Well done all of you."
Harry walked over to Ginny and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry we will come see you as soon as we can, but please whatever you do, don't mention that you know who we are to anyone."
"I wont, but you still owe me an explanation mister." Ginny said in a low voice so only Harry could hear her as she gave him a hug goodbye.
Harry and Tonks used their Portkey to head back to the mansion where they were met by Blade and Spade.
"Congratulations both of you on a job well done." Blade said as he looked at them.
"Yes you both did an excellent job from what I have heard. I am glad to see you didn't fall for Ice Queen's decoy. Both of you have proven that you have what it takes to be part of this organization." Spade said as he pulled up two jade scorpion pins. "Wolf and Panther it is my honor to announce that you have both made it into the Jade Scorpions."
Harry and Tonks both grinned as Spade put their pins on their robes for them proving they were now members of his inner circle, and his organization.
"So now we finally get to know what this organization is all about?" Harry asked as he looked at Spade.
"Yes you will both be informed tonight at our meeting once everyone has returned. Until then it is lunch time, so lets go eat." Spade said as he walked off towards the dinning hall.
A/N: Well I could have put the meeting in this chapter, but I am evil so you will have to wait for it. Also I didn't put it in here because I am once again going to ask you for your opinions. What do you think the Jade Scorpions are all about? I have my ideas, but as always I like to know what the reader thinks, so your opinions are important to me, so please let me know what you think.
