A/N: Here is the next chapter in this fic. Chapter 7 out of 18, but don't worry there will be a sequel to this story that picks up where this one ends. Thanks to all those have reviewed my story.

Pleione: Yes Harry is becoming darker, though he isn't going totally evil yet.

Shadow of the Black Abyss: You made an interesting point and you might be right. However I don't think that is the power that was hinted about in the fifth book. I really think the hidden power is the ability to use Love in their magic, because of the love Lily showed when she died protecting Harry. Though we will have to wait and see which theory is right.

Slash&Burn: Yeah it would be nice if learning languages was that easy. Also you have a lot of great theories about the lord, and soon you shall know which is true. I will say this that the lord does have a score to settle with Voldemort.

Silverscale: Harry is going to be a Dark Lord, but he doesn't kill the innocent. Those that will die, deserve to die in his eyes. You will see what I mean by that when the killing starts.

I would like to say thanks to Chelanzar for beta reading this chapter.

Chapter Seven: The Day Before Doom

July 6, 1996

Harry had sent a letter to Tonks telling her everything that had happened that day. He wanted her to know exactly what happened to her, even if someone else didn't want her to know.

Hedwig delivered the letter personally to Tonks and, after pecking her affectionately; the owl flew off back to her master without waiting for a response. Tonks opened the letter and was absolutely shocked by what she read.

Tonks returned directly to the Order's headquarters wanting to speak with Dumbledore. As she walked in she found that Dumbledore was talking with Molly Weasley. She waited until Molly left and then she went to speak with Dumbledore.

"Albus, you said that I fell down, but now I remember what happened that day." Tonks said as if she had come to the conclusion on her own. She didn't want to get Harry into trouble for writing to her.

Dumbledore got a shocked expression on his face as he looked at Tonks. "Is that so Miss Tonks, then maybe you could tell me what happened then."

Tonks knew that Dumbledore was shocked about her revelation, but decided that she would tell him what she knew. "It was Vernon Dursley that attacked me that day, and he also attacked Harry. Sir, we really need to get Harry way from those muggles before they kill him."

Dumbledore didn't look shocked by the information but he did seem a bit shocked that Tonks knew this. "Nymphadora I really think that you are being too harsh on the Dursleys. If Vernon did attack you and Harry, which I doubt, then why hasn't Harry told us about this attack?"

Tonks was not happy that Dumbledore used her first name, but tried to remain calm as she spoke to him. "I believe Harry is scared of his relatives, especially his Uncle, and that is why he hasn't told you about it. Albus we really need to help him."

Dumbledore again didn't look shocked as he looked at Tonks. "Nymphadora, I really think you should allow us handle matters with Harry. If he were in trouble, I would know, but so far there is nothing to prove he is in any danger. Just stay away from him and allow us to handle it."

Tonks was not very happy as she walked out of the headquarters. 'If anything happens to him it will be your fault Dumbledore! If I left it up to you, he would be dead long before you knew anything you old coot!" Tonks thought heatedly as she Apparated to her apartment.

Harry finished reading all the books that he was given and was really enjoying the fact that he had power that the ministry didn't know about, and more importantly that the Order didn't know about it. Harry had also reread all the books he had from the previous years at Hogwarts.

It was only a matter of time before Harry made them pay, but first he had to be more powerful. He had to make sure that he would be able to defeat Dumbledore, Fudge, and Voldemort.

Harry had already claimed control over his relatives by using the Imperius Curse to control them. He found that he was able to make them do anything that he wanted. He had his Aunt Petunia making all the meals, and she was to make sure that he received more than Dudley and Vernon. His Uncle Vernon was reverted into his slave and was to serve him in any way he wanted, which meant that Vernon was stuck doing most of the chores that he once forced Harry to do. Harry had a special task for Dudley, and that was making him clothes. Though the problem was he didn't have the supplies needed to make them. However Harry found that Dudley did make a good tailor and that he was good at making robes.

Harry made his way into the room and found Vernon finishing up cleaning the living room. "Vernon come here."

Vernon stood up and walked over to Harry. "Yes milord."

Harry knew that it made him look bad to have Vernon calling him lord and master, but Harry really like the feeling he got from having such control over his uncle. "Vernon I need to go into London."

"Yes milord I will get the car ready at once." Vernon said as he walked off to get the car ready to take his "master" into London.

Harry walked into the kitchen and told Petunia exactly what he wanted for supper and that he expected it when he returned. Harry then walked towards the door to leave and Harry knew that whoever was there watching him would be a bit suspicious of where he was going, so he had to make sure that they didn't follow him. Harry thought for a moment and then decided to use a small concealment charm that would make him appear like Dudley to any witch or wizard that looked at him. Once his charm was in place he made his way out to the car and got in without fear of being followed.

Once he was in London he removed the concealment and made his way into the Leaky Cauldron. He had Vernon wait in the car for him as he made his way into Diagon Alley to get the supplies that he needed.

Harry made his way to Gringotts to get money, so he would be able to buy the things that he would need. Once he had the money firmly in his pouch he made his way to Flourish & Botts and bought any books that he thought would help him learn more. He also bought a satchel to hold all his books; it was a magical satchel that made the book weightless, which was good because the amount of books he bought would have weighted a ton. One book that he bought in particular was a book on Apparition and how to do it without splinching. Normally, he would not be able to even read this book until his seventh year at Hogwarts, but he knew that he would be able to learn it and be able to use it without the ministry knowing it.

Harry then went into a robe shop to buy the materials needed to have his own robes made by Dudley. He bought all the red, black, gold, and green material that they had, and had it placed into a sack that would make it weightless. Harry then bought a black hooded cloak, so he would be able to go into Knockturn Alley unseen by people around him.

Harry then went to Ollivander's to get a spare wand, and he could only hope that he would be able to get one. He had learned a spell that would isolate and show if there were any wands that would work, but he didn't know if there would be one there that would fit him.

"Ah, Mr. Potter what a surprise, I didn't expect to see you in my shop so soon. I hope that you haven't broke that wand I sold you." Ollivander said as he stood looking at Harry.

"No I didn't break my wand Mr. Ollivander, I was just wondering if there might be a wand here that I could use as a spare wand. The one I have is great but it doesn't work to well against the Dark Lord since his wand is like mine." Harry said trying to convince the man that he really did need a spare wand.

"Hmm, I doubt that I have anything that would work for you Mr. Potter, since the wand must chose the owner, and you have already received the one that chose you." Ollivander said as he looked over his shelves.

Harry looked down and then decided that he had to try. "Mr. Ollivander are you familiar with the Wandamos charm?"

Ollivander scratched his head for a moment and then grinned. "Tell me Mr. Potter, how does a boy of your age know about such an ancient spell? It isn't like it has been in use for many years now."

"I like to read a lot, Mr. Ollivander, and I saw a section in a book that said that the Wandamos charm could be used to see if a wand was suitable for a person. Though I am not sure how to use the charm." Harry lied about the last bit, he did in fact know exactly how to perform the spell, but he wasn't going to tell Ollivander that part.

"Well, Mr. Potter you are in luck then because as it so happens I do know how to use that spell, though like I said before the odds of finding a spare wand are slim." Ollivander said as he turned and performed the Wandamos charm. Instantly a box came flying into Ollivander's hand and he looked at it for a moment.

Ollivander placed the box on the counter. "Interesting, simply interesting."

"Does that mean the wand will work for me?" Harry asked though he was sure it would.

Ollivander opened the box and pulled out the wand. "This is a special wand that had been on my shelf since 1939. It is mad e of Yew, 13 inches, and has a double core, which are Unicorn Tail Hair and Dragon's Heartstring. Sadly though Mr. Potter I am unable to sell you this wand, even if it is compatible with you."

Harry looked a bit shocked, because if the wand was compatible with him, then why couldn't he buy it. "Why can't you sell it to me? Money is no problem as you probably know."

Ollivander looked at the wand and then at Harry. "It isn't about money Mr. Potter, and if you had come to me a year ago I would have gladly sold you this wand. However Minister Fudge and Albus Dumbledore have put an act in place banning me from selling any wands that have two cores. I am most sorry Mr. Potter that I am unable to help you, but please check back some time and maybe I will have another wand that is compatible with you that I can sell you."

Harry was disappointed as he left Ollivander's he wanted to get a spare wand, and now thanks to Dumbledore and Fudge he wasn't able to. Harry was pissed as he pulled up his hood and made his way down into Knockturn Alley.

Harry went into a small bookstore in Knockturn Alley and found more books on the Dark Arts, which he knew would come in handy when learning more about that art. Harry knew that things in Knockturn Alley were suspected to be evil and therefore were labeled as such. Though Harry didn't care as he bought what he felt he needed and then returned out into Diagon Alley to make his way back to his awaiting uncle.

Harry finished an excellent supper, and then headed to his room, where he went straight to reading the book on Apparition. After an hour of reading he knew everything that he needed to be able to Apparate without splinching himself.

Harry performed the ritual needed to prevent the ministry from knowing that he was Apparating, since he didn't want to get caught. Being caught would alert Dumbledore, Fudge, and Voldemort to the fact that he could Apparate and he didn't want any of them knowing it until it was too late.

It was six o'clock in the evening, and Harry felt that he needed to get out and relax for a while. He didn't want to be bothered by anyone from the Order or even his now loyal family.

That is when Harry decided that it was time that he tried out his new found talent and see if he was really untraceable. Harry knew the alley between the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley enough that he was able to picture it clear enough to Apparate into the center of it.

Harry found himself standing in the middle of the small back alleyway and made his way into the Leaky Cauldron with his black robe and hood firmly in place. He made his way through the small pub and into muggle London.

Harry made his way down the streets until he came to the small gun shop that he saw on his ride earlier in the day. He was glad that he had exchanged some Galleons into muggle pounds so he would be able to buy a few things in muggle London.

Harry after a quick glamour charm to make Harry look older he made his way into the gun shop and walked up to the counter. The owner of the shop walked up to the counter and looked at Harry for a moment. "Can I help you?"

Harry hid his emotions from the man as he looked at the guns in the display case. "Yeah I am interested in getting a handgun."

"Did you have something in mind?" the man asked as he eyed up Harry.

Harry looked at the guns and thought about an old magazine that he saw once at the Dursleys' that had about muggle weapons. "Yeah I am looking for a colt 45."

The man looked at Harry again as he raised his eyebrow, and then he bent down and pulled out a gunmetal black colt 45. "This is a nice gun, but are you sure you're old enough to purchase this?"

Harry looked a bit concerned but quickly concealed his concern. "Yeah I am, so can I buy it or what?"

"I will need to see some ID first to ensure your old enough." The man said as he looked at Harry.

Harry pulled up his wand and aimed it at the owner. "Imperio!"

Harry controlled the man to sell him the colt .45, bullets, and a holster. Then as Harry looked at the display he saw another nice looking gun. "I will also take that .357 as well."

The man pulled out the gun and sat it on the counter and then got bullets and a holster for the gun. Harry paid the man and then obliviated his memory, so he would only remember selling the guns to a man of age, but couldn't remember who the man was or what the man looked like.

Harry set up his holsters under his cloak and after casting a few charms on the guns to prevent anyone from noticing them he made his way over to a small bar. Harry walked into the pub and walked up to the bar.

The barmaid made her way over to him and looked at him for a moment before speaking. "What ya have sir?"

Harry looked over the barmaid for a moment and smiled. "I will take a full bottle of Wild Turkey."

The barmaid looked at him for a moment with a shocked expression on her face. "Ah that is a bit expressive, but if you want a shot I will get ya one."

Harry pulled out his roll of muggle money and looked at the barmaid. "I think I have enough to afford it milady, so how about that bottle?"

The woman's eyes got really wide upon seeing the money and then smiled. "Anything you want sir." The woman walked over and got the bottle, brought it back over, and sat it on the bar in front of Harry.

Harry paid for the bottle and gave the barmaid a hundred pounds as a tip. Harry then had the barmaid give him a shot glass to fill and drink his whiskey. Harry grabbed the bottle and the shot glass, and made his way over to a small table, away from the people in the bar.

As Harry filled his glass, and took a drink, he saw a female figure walking his way. Harry was a bit surprised as the lady walked closer to him, and he saw who it was. 'How did she find me here?' Harry thought as he looked at the woman as she sat down at the table. "Tonks what are you doing here?"

Tonks was disguised simply in plain looking muggle clothes, a black T-shirt and black jeans. She had shoulder length red hair and sparkling blue eyes. "I could ask you the same thing, but I have a good idea why you're here."

Harry looked at her and was lost in her amazing eyes. "I just needed to get away from my life for a while, but that doesn't explain why you are here."

Tonks looked at Harry and grinned. "I am simply here looking to escape as well." Tonks pulled out her wand under the table and silently cast a Silencing Charm to prevent anyone from hearing them. "Harry I talked to Dumbledore and he didn't seem shocked about Vernon attacking me."

Harry looked a bit pissed as he downed a shot. "I suspect that he is the one who modified your mind, but without testing my theory I won't know for sure."

Harry called the barmaid over by motioning for her, and since she was looking at him ever since he sat down, it didn't take her long to walk over into the silencing charm. "Could you bring another shot glass and another bottle of Wild Turkey?"He wanted to make sure he hadenough for both him and Tonks.

The barmaid nodded and walked off to get him another shot glass and a full bottle of Wild Turkey. Harry waited until it was on his table and paid for before returning to his conversation with Tonks. "Here, have a shot milady."

Harry handed Tonks a shot of the wild turkey, which she drank down in one gulp. "Harry what test were you talking about?"

Harry downed another shot as he looked at Tonks. "I read a book about a spell that will allow me to see the signature of any magic used on you. I am not sure if the spell will work since its been so long, but if it did then you would know who obliviated you, and if the memories were erased, but blocked instead they may be able to be recovered."

Tonks looked a bit excited but then lost hope as she remembered that Harry couldn't do magic outside of school. "Too bad you can't try it until you get to Hogwarts."

"Well Tonks, I have a secret to tell you, but you can't tell a single soul." Harry said as he looked at Tonks and when Tonks agreed to keep his secret he told her it. "I performed a ritual that prevents the ministry from tracing my signature, so I could do it if you wanted."

Tonks was shocked, but not as much as she thought she would be. "Leave it to you, Harry, to find a way around the rules. To think, they say Hermione is the smartest student at Hogwarts. I personally think you're smarter."

Harry blushed a bit as he downed another shot. "Thanks Tonks, but I can't do it here because someone might see. What do you say, after we are done, we go back to my place and I'll do it?"

Tonks blushed at the thought of returning home with Harry. "Mr. Potter, is this your way of getting me in your room?"

Harry once again blushed at the thought of having Tonks in his bedroom and soon found that he was unable to keep his eyes off her amazing body. "No Miss Tonks, it is a way for me to do the test privately, but I do like the idea of getting to take the most beautiful lady in the bar home with me."

Tonks blushed again as she took another shot of whiskey. "I would love to come with you Harry, but I really don't need a repeat of what happened the last time we were together at your relative's house."

Harry looked down as he realized that he couldn't tell her about the curse his relatives were under. "They go to bed at ten o'clock, so if we stay here until after that we will be able to get into my room unseen by them. Then, after I do the test, you can Apparate out and they will never know."

Tonks was a bit shocked by the way Harry quickly worked out the situation, but she knew he was very talented, so being a strategist was just something that came naturally to him in Tonks' opinion. "That sounds like a plan Harry."

Harry and Tonks drank down the bottles and by eleven o'clock they were both becoming really intoxicated and really touchy. Under the table Tonks had her hand on Harry's leg and was rubbing it as Harry was examining every inch of Tonks magnificent body.

"I think it is time we head home Tonks." Harry said as he stood up and looked at Tonks.

Tonks stood up and about fell on her face but Harry quickly caught her and held her close for a moment and took in the smell of the perfume that she was wearing, which was intoxicating in its own way.

"You're my hero." Tonks said as she lay in Harry's arm. "Shall we go home babe?"

Harry helped Tonks outside the bar and into a dark alley. Once there he cast a sobering charm so he would be able to Apparate. He then Apparated to his bedroom and laid Tonks down on his bed. Tonks was instantly asleep and Harry didn't want to wake her, it wasn't necessary for her to be awake to perform the test.

Harry cast the spell that would allow him to check her mind and found that the signature was in fact Albus Dumbledore's and that meant that he was the one who obliviated Tonks memories of that day when Vernon attacked her.

"Why would that old fool do such a thing?" Harry asked as he got ready for bed and then cast a spell on Tonks so her clothes would be more comfortable to sleep in. Harry then laid down beside her and was out like a light.
