After Gringotts they started shopping and Harry found out just what the girls at Hogwarts had been talking about. Tonks first had him stop at Madam Malkin's for several new robes. As soon as they entered the store Tonks took Madam Malkin aside and spoke to her, presumably to tell her who he really was. Soon Harry was ushered into a changing room as Tonks and Madam Malkin came with what seemed like a never ending supply of robes. He also learned that he had very little, if any, say in what looked good and what didn't. While several were everyday casual robes and cloaks that he liked a few of them were far more than he thought he would ever wear, like one robe which was so pure white it almost seemed to glow. On the front of the robe was charcoal grey which was outlined in black to form a deep V which ended at the bottom of the robe. The cloak with it was charcoal grey with a brown tint to it with a pure white cowl and a large circular shaped Peridot clasp set in gold, as Harry attached the cloak he noticed on the inside were several runic figures in the same pure white. Tying the white sash around his waist he walked out of the changing room to find Tonks and Madam Malkin staring at him.
At first Harry thought he had the robe on wrong and started fiddling with it trying to figure out what he had done. Tonks had to tell him that he hadn't done anything wrong but that he was definitely buying that robe. It wasn't until he took a look in the mirror that he saw why they had stared at him. Looking back was not the scrawny, spectacle wearing child he was accustomed to seeing but the image of a powerful wizard. Someone people could respect and look up to, someone who projected confidence, grace, and kindness. He couldn't believe it was his own reflection. Harry stared at himself for a few minutes, taking in every detail of the image facing him, before he could even bring himself to turn back to Tonks and Madam Malkin. The whole time he just kept thinking to himself if that was really him? Do I really look like that? Was that what all those people see the Boy-Who-Lived as? How could that be me? There is no way I could be that person.
Harry was startled out of his thoughts by Tonks handing him another fancy robe and telling him to try it on. While he didn't like most of the rest of the robes there were two other robes that had the same effect on him. He still had a hard time believing that it was really him in the mirror but Tonks assured him it was really him and that that was the reason why he needed the new clothes so badly; he could never truly see the young man he had become otherwise.
"Harry you're not the little boy I ran into in his second year anymore, you just need to see it for yourself now. I think these clothes will really help you, let you see who you truly are and maybe you can start to respect yourself, something that had to be hard to do in those rags they forced you to wear. Accept it Harry, the person in the mirror really is you, the you I've started getting to know this summer. He's just been hidden under a lifetime of grief and abuse, but that's no longer the case. You're not trapped in your cupboard anymore." Harry didn't know exactly how he could respond, after a lifetime of being told he was worthless it was hard to think of himself as anything else. Everything that had happened at Hogwarts and being sent back to the Dursley's every year just reinforced it more and more. He just couldn't think that he was really worth more than those rags yet.
After several more robes and a lot more talking between Tonks and Madam Malkin and occasionally Harry, Tonks finally told him that he was done. He came out to find that Madam Malkin and Tonks were still discussing robes only this time they were picking out different fabrics from samples that must have been brought out from the back. The one that immediately caught Harry's eye was a black material that seemed to shine and reflect like it was silver; Madam Malkin said it was a very rare and magical material that was only made by an old wizard in Russia. After a bit more talking between Tonks and Madam Malkin and a few more robes designed for Harry, and one for Tonks thought Harry didn't know what it looked like, they were ready to check out. Harry went to pay and couldn't believe some of the robes they had picked out, when he asked about them Tonks just told him that he was a guy and therefore had little taste in clothing but to trust them, they were definitely the right robes. Harry paid 70 Galleons for the robes and was told that most would be ready in a few hours though a few would take nearly a week. Suppressing a groan as Tonks told him they'd be going to Gladrags next to get a lot more clothes Harry followed Tonks back into Diagon Alley.
This time Tonks did not talk to anyone as they entered and took several minutes looking at different clothes before shoving Harry into a changing room. Again Tonks gave him a ton of clothes to try on and from the clothes he was trying on Harry wasn't sure about Tonks' taste. To Harry the clothes seemed to be awfully tight. When he mentioned it Tonks just told him he was used to ill-fitting clothes and to stop complaining, that from what she had seen and the looks of some of the girls working here, he had nothing to worry about. Harry found out how wrong he was when he thought he had spent a long time in Madam Malkin's.
Once they had finished Harry was sure that Tonks was somehow stopping time, there was no way they had only been in there for only two hours, it had seemed like two days! The next part Harry liked a lot better, Tonks decided to try on a few outfits that caught her eye. Harry was very happy to watch as she came out of the dressing room over and over again trying on clothes that showed her assets well. When they went to check out Harry found that this time he had a ton of clothes, several pairs of jeans, a couple pair of different colored and sized shorts and a lot of shirts, most with different Quidditch teams or wizarding bands on them. Next Tonks told him he'd had to get at least one pair of new trainers. They looked at a few different pairs before Tonks selected two pairs, telling him one was for everyday use and the second for more formal occasions. Harry mentally groaned at thinking of another Yule Ball disaster.
After handing over 65 Galleons 9 Sickles and 2 Knuts for all his clothes Harry began to understand just why Tonks had looked at him funny when he had only grabbed a handful of Galleons from his vault. As Tonks went to pay for her clothes he remembered how Pavarti had been mad at Seamus for not offering to at least pay on any of their dates, so Harry offered to pay for Tonks' clothes. Though she refused Tonks seemed happier after he offered. Tonks had Harry go to the restroom to put on a tight Puddlemere United T-Shirt, some jeans and the new trainers he had just bought to wear out of the store, telling him to destroy his old clothes why he was at it. After Gladrags Tonks had a surprise for Harry no more clothes but Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes!
Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes was the most popular store that they had been to so far, though Harry wasn't sure if it was just the store or the fact that it was now lunch time. While the store was smaller than many of the stores that he had been in to, it was by far the most chaotic place he had ever seen. The store looked like it had no true design and that shelves were just placed haphazardly around the store at random. Children, and some adults, were browsing the shelves looking at all the different pranks. The biggest area's seem to be the sweet's section where Harry saw several people covered in feathers, scales, different colors, and one girl that was spraying water every time she opened her mouth. As he wandered around the store Harry recognized several faces from Hogwarts and found that random bangs, booms, laughter, and squeals seemed to be common place.
Harry was having fun looking around the store when Tonks grabbed his arm and brought him towards the back. Just as they were about to enter the back room Ginny told them to stop, that the back was only for employees. Harry was about to tell her it was him, but Tonks beat him to it.
"Wotcher Ginny! I think Fred and George will let me in don't you?"
"Tonks!" Ginny ran over and gave her a hug, "What are you doing here?" It was right after she asked the question that she remembered Tonks wasn't alone, she looked at the person for only a moment before she realized who he was; her mouth dropped as she took in Harry's new look.
Harry blushed and Tonks just laughed saying that she told him that shopping for new clothes would be worthwhile.
It was the mention of shopping and new clothes that snapped Ginny out of her thoughts. "Shopping, you got him to go shopping with you? Come on, lets get in here you have got to tell me all about this!"
Ginny led them into a backroom, stopping at a door to yell for George to take over the front desk. As soon as they entered a private office Ginny launched into a conversation with Tonks about shopping and what all she had gotten so far. Harry had a hard time following everything they were saying, he had no clue how girls could talk so quickly. Tonks took out her bag and started showing Ginny some of the clothes he had bought. Tonks handed Harry some clothes and told to try them on in the next room.
For nearly an hour Harry tried on different clothes with Ginny and Tonks making comments about him. It started to bother Harry that they were talking about him like he wasn't even there, but tried to put up with it for now. Unfortunately, about half way through Fred came in checking to see why Ginny had been missing so long just as Harry was coming into the room with another outfit on. The look on Fred's face when he realized it was Harry was priceless! Fred called George in as well, leaving Lee Jordan to tend to the store. Harry had to admit that it was a lot more fun after that, Fred and George's comments every time he came out made him laugh and feel a lot better about showing the clothes off in front of the girls.
After he had tried on enough clothes Ginny and Tonks stepped to the side to have a quiet conversation, while Fred and George started telling Harry about some of their newer inventions and about the of pranks they pulled on Ron and Hermione. After they finished there prank by prank reply of what they did to Ron, they started talking to Harry about the details of the shop, how they were doing, and what Harry had made so far. After having visited Gringotts earlier that day Harry knew he didn't need the money they were depositing into his vault and tried to talk them out of it. Fred and George were adamant about it though and wouldn't stop no matter what he wanted so after Harry explained things and a bit of negotiating, they finally came to an agreement. Harry, Fred, and George would all become equal partners in the shop but Harry's share of the profits would be put back into the shop; allowing for more employee's, research and development, and advertising.
An overly loud squeal caused Harry, Fred, and George to look over and see Ginny engulf Tonks in a hug and then start whispering again while glancing at Harry. Harry just groaned, having a good idea at just what they were talking about. Harry shook his head and muttered, "Looks like Tonks told her." He wasn't embarrassed about their relationship, but found knowing they were talking about it disconcerting.
"You know what" "That was about, don't you" "Harry."
Harry just nodded, "I think so; Tonks probably just told Ginny about me and her."
This seemed to spark the two trouble maker's interest, "What about" "You two" "Oh great partner" "Of ours?"
Harry blushed a little," Well, Tonks is kind of my girlfriend now."
Fred and George laughed at that until they saw that Harry looked serious.
"You're not joking" "Are you?"
"No, it's been a bit over a week now." Harry was a little hurt that they would laugh at it; he knew he was younger than Tonks, but still...
The twins looked at him stunned, then broke into huge grins, "Harry, that's" "Bloody Brilliant!" "An older woman" "Didn't know you" "Had it in you." "Follow us," "We need to celebrate!" "Our 'ickle 'arry" "Is growing up." "And what a great way to" "Grow up."
The twins led him up a set of stairs to their work room, brought out a bottle of Firewhiskey and poured the two of them a drink, handing Harry a Butterbeer. Fred and George shared a grin; they both seemed to think the same thing. "Can you imagine" "What Mum is going to say?" "You should have seen her" "When she found out about" "Our 'ickle Ronnikins and Hermione." "She'll go spare" "When she finds out about you" "And Tonks!"
They then began a frightenly accurate imitation of Mrs. Weasley's voice "Nymphadora Tonks, Harry Potter," "Stop that this instant!" "What do you two think you are doing?" "Harry dear, you should be" "with someone your own age" "a sweet girl like Ginny!" "Tonks is almost old enough to be your mother!" "And you, Nymphadora Tonks!" "You should be ashamed of yourself" "How dare you corrupt our sweet, innocent little Harry!"
The twins stopped there imitation and looked serious for a moment, or as serious as they can look. "She is corrupting you," "Isn't she?"
Harry just grinned; while he was embarrassed a little, he knew the twins wouldn't give up until they had the answer. He also had to admit to himself that a part of him actually liked this type of attention from the twins; the Weasley's were the closest thing to a family he had and their acceptance of the relationship meant a lot to him. "And enjoying every second of it! Waking up with her next to me every morning is something I can't get enough of."
The twins both whistled at that statement, "Way to go Harry!"
Fred grabbed the Firewhiskey and poured Harry a drink as well; "If ickle Harrykins is becoming a man" "He can learn to drink like a man!"
"Cheers Mate!"
Harry drank the glass in one gulp; immediately he felt his throat start to burn and only just prevented himself from coughing up all the whiskey. Harry couldn't understand why people would voluntarily drink the stuff; it was like drinking one of Madam Pompfrey's potions. Fred and George didn't seem affected by the drink at all and began laughing at Harry's reaction to it.
They filled up another round for the three of them and handed one to Harry, he tried to turn it down but Fred and George just told him "If at first you don't succeed," "drink, drink," "and drink again!"
Harry had taken Fred and George's saying to heart and remembered drinking several more rounds before Tonks and Ginny came in to find Fred laughing at Harry and George, who were currently doing a great mock impression of beating the tar out of Malfoy.
Tonks performed the sobering charm on Harry and tried to act mad at him only to burst out laughing when Fred and George started telling them exactly what he had done while drunk. After Fred, George, Ginny, and Tonks all had a good laugh at Harry's expense, Tonks and Harry said their goodbyes and Tonks dragged Harry out of the shop to finish shopping.
Harry had a fun time with the rest of shopping in Diagon Alley; they stopped by Quality Quidditch Supplies and Harry was surprised to see Angelina Johnson and Katie Bell. He took them aside for a moment to let them know it was him. Harry was again embarrassed at how their mouth's dropped open at his new look. He tried, and failed miserably, to control his blush when Angelina told him that he looked good enough to eat, and had he looked like that last year she would have. Tonks, Angelina, and Katie all had a good laugh at how red Harry became. Harry was about to introduce Tonks but didn't get a chance to as she already knew Angelina.
Harry was surprised to see that Tonks and Angelina knew each other from Hogwarts; he knew that Tonks wasn't much older than he was but hadn't expected them to know the same people. It turned out that Tonks knew Angelina because she had dated Oliver Wood for a short time the year before Harry started and had gone to the practices to support him. Harry knew that she had dated a lot while she was at Hogwarts so tried not to let it bother him. Harry also found out that Katie would still be at Hogwarts for a year, she had hung out with Fred, George, Angelina and Alicia for so long that he had thought she was in their year. They talked for a bit longer and Harry found out that Angelina was working there and would be trying out for chaser at any team she could. Though she was hoping for the Harpy's as they had lost two of their chasers to pregnancy, or the Kestrel's as they lost one of theirs to injury and another to the Tornado's.
After a while of talking about Quidditch and the summer Tonks said that they should get going as they had a lot more shopping to do still. As soon as she mentioned shopping Angelina and Katie swept Tonks into a conversation about the newest fashions and what they thought would look good on Harry. Harry once again found himself annoyed that they were speaking about him as if he wasn't even there, even though the conversation was about him. He was a bit disturbed to find out that the need for him to go shopping was a topic of discussion in the Girl's Dorm of not only Gryffindor, but Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin as well. While Angelina and Katie were telling Tonks all the different ideas that the girls came up with that would look good on Harry, he learned that he had been voted 'Hogwarts Most Potential' last year.
After Quality Quidditch Supplies they went to the Magical Menagerie to buy Hedwig and Peto, Tonks' owl, some treats. Another quick stop to Madam Malkin's to pick up Harry's robes and then it was off to The Leaky Cauldron for some lunch.
Lunch at the Leaky Cauldron was quieter than Harry was used to. At Hogwarts and The Burrow lunch was a loud and boisterous affair, even at Privet drive Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, or Dudley, would be talking loudly and have the Telly on, and during his meals with Tonks they were normally chatting happily. This time they couldn't talk like they normally would though. Even in a private booth they had to be careful about what they said. When he mentioned finding the silence a little weird to Tonks she took out her wand and immediately put up a few privacy charms saying that they could talk about most normal things with out worry of being overheard.
Harry had asked if Tonks had fun talking to Ginny and what they talked about but Tonks wouldn't tell him, just saying it was fun to have a 'Girl Talk' with her. He told Tonks that he was glad it went well, and that he had been a little worried that Ginny would still have a crush on him. Tonks just grinned at him and said that Ginny still had a bit of a crush but that they had talked a lot last summer and found that it was more of a little girl's crush on her hero and it had only become worse when he had saved her but that Ginny knew it wasn't true feelings for him in that way. It turned out Tonks was the one who told Ginny to start dating people and gave her advice on how to get a boyfriend easily. It turned out that Ginny was actually really happy about them being together, she had apparently been trying to find someone to set him up with since the end of term, but that most the girls at Hogwarts were too embarrassed to approach him, intimidated by Hermione, or just wanted to show off that they were dating the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry was shocked and didn't know if he should be happy that Ginny didn't succeed in setting him up, because now he was with Tonks or depressed because he was so screwed up that he couldn't get a normal girlfriend.
They talked for a bit more and Harry told her that Fred and George knew about them, and were starting a bet about how each person would react when they found out that they were dating. He also told her about the new arrangement for his partnership and that hopefully it would ensure the joke shop's future. Tonks was once again impressed by Harry. He said that he knew he didn't have to worry about money but that didn't mean all his descendents would be the same. Harry softly muttered to himself, "If I even live long enough to have any." Tonks didn't hear what he said but she noticed he was getting into another one of his moods and moved to the seat next to Harry's, grabbing his hand in hers and leaning over to kiss him. Taking out her wand she added a Notice Me Not ward around their booth and proceeded to snog Harry senseless.
Once they were in Muggle London things were a bit different for them. While they still had to be alert, they didn't really have to worry about anyone recognizing them so they could talk easier and have more fun than they could in Diagon Alley.
Tonks first took them to a small clothing store only two blocks away from The Leaky Cauldron. It seemed that Tonks went there a lot, as the man working there called her by name as soon as she entered. Harry decided almost immediately that he didn't like this guy as he gave Tonks a hug that lasted much longer than required. Harry had to work hard not to hex this man when he gave Tonks a kiss. Harry was a little pleased that Tonks didn't really kiss him back and pulled away quickly. Tonks introduced Harry to the man and told Harry that Dice, Harry assumed it was the guy's nickname, was an old friend and ex-boyfriend, though it was just a summer fling a few years ago. Harry looked around the store and saw mostly dark and torn clothes. Harry got a bit of a shock when he looked towards the back and saw a section full of leather. The leather pants and a body suit caught Harry's attention but it was imagining Tonks in some of the leather lingerie that made Harry's mouth drop. Tonks saw this and whispered that she'd try them on after they were finished with his clothes. Needless to say Harry tried on all the clothes Tonks picked out as quickly as possible. A few minutes after Harry tried on the last pair Tonks called him back into the changing room she was in. His mouth dropped open as he went in.
Tonks was wearing extremely tight black leather pants that covered her so well it looked like they were part of her skin and a leather and lace corset. Harry had seen Tonks naked several times since the first night and had decided that she was a sight he could never get tired of, but seeing her like this was, if possible, even more wonderful. As she slowly turned around for Harry, he knew that she had used her Metamorphmagus ability to fill the clothes in such a way, and could only be thankful.
Over the next hour Tonks tried on many different outfits for Harry, none that he would ever allow anyone but himself to see her in. Harry wasn't sure if she was trying to kill him by giving him a heart-attack, and had briefly considered asking but after seeing the next outfit she tried on, had decided that he didn't care. Tonks, for her part, seemed to be having a great time trying everything on for Harry. The more flustered and shocked Harry was the more she seemed to love it. By the time she had picked out everything she was going to buy she was bubbling with happiness and seemed much younger than Harry had ever seen her.
Harry had again offered to buy Tonks' clothes and even argued that she could spend her money better on clothes she could wear out in public. Tonks would have none of it though and told him that she had enough saved up to spend on some clothes. As they walked towards the next store Harry noticed that the smile on her face still hadn't gone away.
Harry felt almost out of place at the next store they went to, it was a much nicer and much more expensive men's store. Harry really didn't want to try on anything there and was afraid Tonks was going to trip over something and break it. Tonks told him that while she didn't much care for formal clothes he should still have at least one set. Thankfully it didn't take long there as Harry only tried on a few clothes this time. When Tonks finally picked out what clothes to buy Harry was a bit worried as none of the clothes she picked were really his size, while he was used to ill-fitting clothes he didn't see a point in buying them that way but when he mentioned it to Tonks he found out that the size didn't matter. She informed him that one of the few domestic charms she could do were fitting charms for clothes, she would change her appearance so often that it was necessary to charm her Muggle clothes to fit.
They were walking past a storefront when a dress in the window caught Tonks' eye she instantly drug Harry into the store and told him she'd just be a few minutes. Harry was trying not to blush but couldn't understand why the store would put its changing room so close to the women's lingerie! And why did there have to be three good looking girls there at the same time. They caught him looking at them and the lingerie they were looking at started giggling, Harry once again thought it should be illegal for girls to be in groups. Thankfully he was spared any more embarrassment by Tonks calling out to him, she walked out of the changing and Harry was the dress that she had seen in the window. It was a shimmering black shear dress that hugged her body very nicely. As she walked towards him he could that the material was completely see-through save for a strip of material that went across her chest and another one just below her waist. While the dress didn't show anything completely, it hinted at every part of her body in a way that took his breath away and immediately cut the blood flow from his brain. He wasn't sure how long he stared at her with his jaw open but when he snapped out of it he realized she was right in front of him laughing softly. This time he did ask if she was trying to kill him by giving him a heart-attack and was awarded by a brilliant smile and kiss from Tonks and several giggles from the girls that had been nearby.
Harry was getting hungry but stopped himself from talking about it because he knew Tonks had reservations for later and because of how much thought she had put into today; he didn't want to ruin it. The next stop was one Harry had both been looking forward to and feared, Boot's Optometrist. Since Tonks had mentioned getting new glasses he was looking forward to it as he had hated his ugly glasses since his aunt gave them to him. But in a way he also wary of it, the glasses had been such a large part of him for a long time, still he knew he needed a new pair. Before the arrived at the store Tonks pulled Harry to the side for a moment and canceled the disillusionment charm on his glasses.
Tonks decided to start looking at frames while Harry went into the back to get his prescription checked. Harry read off the different tablets with and with out his glasses and started going through the tests with the chemist for his prescription. The chemist had said that Harry's prescription was probably old and needing to be updated again. When he got back to the front Tonks showed him the different frames she liked and after trying on a few the decided on two pairs; a rimless pair that didn't have any hinges on the frame and his personal favorite, a small set of sports goggles that he could use when it rained during a Quidditch match.
After waiting for the glasses to be ready and paying another 90 pounds, Tonks and Harry headed back out into London. Tonks hadn't planned on spending quite so much time in Gringotts and talking with Ginny, Fred, and George so they couldn't go everywhere she had wanted to show him, but told Harry that they'd come out to London again so she could show him some of the fun places to go. She was pleased when Harry told her that it had been a lot of fun so far and thanked her again for helping him pick out all the clothes as he never would have known what to get. They still had a little over an hour until their reservations when they reached the restaurant and decided to walk around for a little while first.
It was while they were walking that Harry started to notice something, many things really. It seemed that nearly everywhere he looked he could see couples walking, talking, holding each other, and even a few snogging. As Harry noticed this he allowed his thoughts to return to this morning when Tonks took his hand in hers, they had held hands again during lunch but hadn't since then. Harry knew that his childhood wasn't normal, that most children were touched, hugged, and shown the affection that was still so foreign to him. He loved it and deep down he knew that he craved the affection even something as insignificant as a touch or smile but it was only recently, with Tonks being so forward that he actually began to see how much it meant to him and what it was like to have that in his life. Seeing everyone else showing some sort of affection made him want to grab Tonks' hand, but he wasn't sure how to do it and even if she would want him to.
Tonks saw that his attention had faded and a slight frown appeared on his face she tried to figure out what could have happened to cause it but couldn't think of anything that she'd said or done that would explain it, she remembered that it didn't have to be anything she'd done that he had more than enough to be bothered by already. She suspected he was getting in one of his moods again and was determined not to let him; the day had gone to well to have it ruined now. Just as she was started to look for a secluded corner Harry's hand reached out and grabbed her own and she saw his frown turn back into a smile as he looked at her. She smiled in return, thankful and amazed that it was just trying to hold her hand that had bothered him so.
After walking around London for a while hand in hand with Tonks Harry had to admit that he felt a lot better than he had in a long time. He knew what Tonks said in Madam Malkin's was right, it was just hard for him to see himself as anything other than a small child still locked in the cupboard under the stairs. Harry was truly amazed by the difference proper fitting clothes could make though and began thinking to himself that maybe he wasn't a complete loss yet.
While his shirt and jeans still felt a little tighter than he was used to he had gotten used to the new clothes throughout the day, the most noticeable difference came from his trainers. The fitting, cushioning, and lightening charms made it feel like he was walking on air a far cry from the ill-fitting trainers he had always worn. Tonks would point out different girls checking him out while they were walking and Harry had a hard time with that idea; good looking girls that he had never met were actually looking at him! Though their reactions once again re-affirmed the thought that all girls must be crazy, the girls that were checking him out would all giggle a little at Harry's extreme blushing. Harry secretly liked it when the girls would do that though as Tonks would pull him closer and put her arm possessively around his waist. Harry's blushing seemed to bring Tonks personality out again and she spent the rest of the walk joking with him and trying to embarrass Harry at any opportunity; even going as far as to start talking about whether Harry had decided on getting the sex change operation yet at a populated street corner! Harry was completely shocked by that and could only stutter in response as people started glancing and whispering about him, some even took a few steps away. Tonks dragged him away and as soon as they were away from everyone she busted out laughing.
Harry couldn't believe that she had actually done that but managed to laugh a little, mostly at Tonks who had tripped and was leaning on a wall holding laughing. He was silent for a bit afterwards and was sure Tonks thought he was mad at her, she had apologized for it and he forgave her but she didn't know that yet. Harry had been trying to think of a way to get even, there was no way he could let her beat him with something like that. He spotted a crowd of men and women in nice clothes and decided that they would be perfect. While he led Tonks towards them he began clearing his mind like he had during the Occlumency lessons, he needed to keep a straight face for this to work. Harry managed to maneuver the two of them towards the center of the crowd with out making it obvious to Tonks before he started his plan. While Tonks had just talked a bit loud to him, allowing the others to overhear it, Harry had a different idea that would hopefully make it even better.
He began talking to the woman beside him, trying to start a conversation with at least one or two of the people around them. It worked perfectly and Harry lead the conversation to where they were heading, hoping they would ask him in return. He mentally grinned to himself when they did; he had four of the group, who were on the way to the building across the street for a charity event, in the conversation by the time they asked where he was going. Harry explained to them that they had just come from the doctor's office from a long appointment; this seemed to interest a few other people into the conversation as they asked if he was alright. He then explained to them that the appointment wasn't for him, but his girlfriend Tonks to try and figure out what the strange rash was that she had. Tonks coughed loudly and tripped when he said this, she had been listening to the conversation but hadn't taken part in it.
Harry caught her before she could hit the ground, one hand near her waist and the other conveniently on her breast. He held her there for a moment and grinned to himself as he moved both of his hands a little to get a better feel of her, and loud enough for the rest of the group to hear he said "You really should be a bit more careful. You don't want to trip in front of all these people when you know you're not wearing any knickers, it was embarrassing enough to have the doctor and nurse notice."
Tonks was completely embarrassed by this time and thought she saw an opening to get Harry back. She turned towards him as she stood up, "Well, if you didn't destroy all my knickers when you rip them off I would have another pair to wear!"
Harry faltered for a moment when she said that but a memory of her trying on the leather early came into his mind and he spoke before thinking, "Well you can hardly blame me. When you came out wearing those little leather outfits of yours early, of course I wanted to tear everything off you as quickly as I could!"
Tonks seemed to think that this was getting to be a bit much and led Harry quickly through the group. Harry saw that nearly all the people nearly by had stopped to look at them and noticed that more than half the men were looking at Tonks in a way he definitely did not like. Once they were a bit away both Harry and Tonks started laughing. Tonks stopped for a moment to shove Harry against a wall, knocking his head back and jarring his glasses off. He felt Tonks' body pushing hard against his own, her hands running through his hair. Harry gasped and moaned as she began to kiss his neck and shoulders while whispering into his ear, "So you wanted to rip everything off me when you saw me in those outfits did you? You may still get that chance tonight." and then took him into a passionate kiss.
Besides the Leaky Cauldron Harry had never eaten out anywhere so the restaurant was a completely new experience for Harry and he tried to enjoy it as much as he could. Since he had taken her hand while they were walking Tonks had barely let it go unless to put her arm around him and now sitting at the table for dinner he was beginning to miss the feeling again. He let Tonks choose the food and drink and was surprised when she ordered two steaks and potatoes and sodas for them. When the waiter asked what type of salad she wanted with it Harry had to hold back his laughter as Tonks put on a shocked looking face for a moment and told the waiter, "Do you know how many vegetables had to die in order to make those salads!" Tonks' face looked so serious that Harry had a hard time believing she was joking; it was the poor waiters' face that finally did it for him, and started laughing into his napkin. Tonks joined him laughing a little a moment later but managed to control herself enough to tell the waiter, "No salad really though, not in the mood for food that food eats tonight."
Tonks talked through most of the dinner telling Harry stories about how she tried to belong to both worlds and still kept in touch with people in the Muggle world. Though she liked and lived mostly in the wizarding world she thought that its ideas were far too outdated for her and liked that part of the Muggle world better, and that there were a lot of advantages in being able to live in both.
When they got back to his tent Harry was tired from spending the entire day out and nearly collapsed in his bed. It wasn't until Tonks came into the room wearing a tight leather and fishnet dress, which left very little to the imagination, that Harry happily realized he wasn't going to go to get any sleep for some time. He didn't mind at all.
Tonks smiled at Harry's reaction to her outfit and as seductively as she could said, "You said there were certain things you wanted to do when I wore an outfit like this?"
Harry's mind raced as he took in her form, the dress showed more skin than it covered and could tell that she was only wearing it and a pair of black knickers.
Walking up to Tonks Harry put his arms around her back, sliding his hands up and down her backside feeling every curve of her body through the dress. He tilted her chin up a little and brought his mouth to hers and savored the feeling of her lips against his. Her hands ran through his hair and pulled his mouth tighter against his forcing the kiss to become more passionate, more intense. His hands found the bottom of her dress and painstakingly slowly brought it up her body, taking great pleasure to feel every inch of skin on his way up. He remembered his words from early, "of course I wanted to tear everything off you as quickly as I could!" Oh how wrong he was to say that. Feeling the wetness of her mouth and moving his hands up her body so slowly was making him burn even more with desire. The feeling of the minor quivers from her body only encouraged Harry's boldness in undressing her. As his hands reached her breasts he stopped for a moment feeling each one lightly, barely touching them. He smiled as he felt Tonks' heart leap and gasp into his mouth. The desperation for air was the only thing that broke their kiss. Tonks obviously decided Harry was going to slow and took the opportunity to take her dress completely off. Seeming to be thinking along the same lines Harry did just what he said he would earlier, tore the knickers down her legs as quickly as he could. Deciding Harry had far too many clothes on Tonks grabbed Harry's wand and with a flick all his clothes disappeared.
Deciding that it was pay back time for the torture she had caused him earlier in the week. Harry's hands roamed her body slowly and thoroughly touching every inch of her wonderful body, except the areas that he knew she wanted most. He began kissing her shoulders and neck, slowly working his way up to her mouth and then back down towards her chest. His mouth found its way between her breasts and he started to lightly lick and nibble the outsides of each of her beautiful breasts but making sure to move away before she could receive the pleasure she wanted. As he began to lightly run his tongue over her nipples Harry had to avoid her arms, which were blindly trying to grab his head and force it down onto them. Taking the torture even further he began moving his hands lower, lightly moving his fingers up and down from her waist to her upper thighs and occasionally giving her incredibly wet entrance the merest of touches before moving on again.
Tonks was begging and pleading with him to stop and to please her. The feeling of having her beg and plead for him to finish, the power of actually being in control for once, was amazing for Harry. Hearing the whimpering and desperation in her pleas for more was an incredible turn on to him and he understood why Tonks seemed to like doing the same thing. He continued his assault for several more minutes as Tonks was squirming around the bed begging him for more. When she seemed to be completely incoherent Harry decided it was enough and bringing his head back down he gave her the release she had been begging for.
After calming down from her orgasm Tonks went on the offensive and pushed Harry onto his back climbing on top of him she began to kiss and nibble his neck, then his chest making her way down his body slowly. Before Tonks could get to far Harry stopped her. She looked up only to find him grinning as he told her he had something to show her.
"I got the idea from when we replayed my memories during the Occlumency lesson and practiced a lot over the week when you were at the Ministry." He began concentrating hard for a minute on using his Metamorphmagus abilities, when he opened his eyes again he saw Tonks staring at him apparently stunned. It took Tonks a moment before she could pull herself together, "Blimey Harry, that's huge!"
He grinned and grabbed Tonks' arms, bringing her closer to him. "I've heard that girls like it when a guy is big and thought I could surprise you a bit."
Tonks kissed him again but this she stopped before it could become too heated. Whispering into his ear she said, "Yours was fine before Harry, better than fine actually, you were big before you don't need to change to please me. And even if you weren't it doesn't really matter, it's you I like not just your size Harry."
"I thought of that Tonks." Kissing her he added, "I think you've been a bad influence on me. I seem to be thinking of this a lot lately. You don't have to change to make me happy and now I know I don't have to change to make you happy." He grabbed her arms and pulled her down onto him, letting her to feel just how large he was now. "But we are both Metamorphmagi Tonks, just because we don't Have to change doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it. One thing you've taught me is that it's actually okay for me to have a bit of fun, that I deserve it. And I plan to do just that."
Agreeing with him completely about just how much fun they could have Tonks took him into a vicious kiss, grinding her body into his and exploring every inch of skin with their hands. Tonks had been passionate before but this kiss completely overwhelmed Harry's senses. Breaking the kiss she grinned at him. "I haven't showed you all the fun we can have Harry."
Tonks began by nibbling his ears, then working on his lips and tongue. She began to work down his body and next came his neck and chest. Harry gasped as she licked and bit his nipples. Her hands had not been idle and were exploring his chest and his upper legs. Harry was becoming extremely frustrated Tonks had been licking his lower stomach, his legs and upper thighs, everywhere but where he wanted her to! As his frustration grew the only thought that popped into his mind was 'Damn, did I really have to do that to Tonks just a few minutes ago?'
It seemed he had spoken his thought out loud because Tonks just grinned at him. "Don't worry Harry, that's not what I have planned."
The look in her eye and the grin on her face worried him for a moment but it was wiped out of his mind when Tonks took him in another passionate kiss. A moment later he gasped into her mouth as he felt her wetness against his erection and realized what she had in mind.
Straddling his waist Tonks whispered, "This may take a minute, it's been a while and you're bloody huge!" into his ear causing Harry to shudder.
Harry felt Tonks' hands stroking him for a moment and then his mind his senses overloaded with new feelings. Harry thought the sensation of entering Tonks was the most amazing feeling on Earth, but it was nothing to what he felt as Tonks began to slide down his length. The warmth and wetness that surrounded him and the tightness that squeezed him as she took more and more of him was the most amazing feeling he had ever felt.
Tonks was gasping as she took more of Harry; she couldn't believe how amazing the sensation of being so completely stretched and so full was. She had had several lovers before but none of them had ever been like this. As she lowered herself more she knew there was no way she could take him all at once. She began to slowly raise herself back up and down amazed at the feelings she was having just trying to take him.
The feeling was so incredible that Tonks' third thrust was all Harry could take before the pleasure became too much for him and he couldn't contain himself any longer. He grabbed Tonks and pushed himself as hard as he could into her, hearing Tonks gasp loudly as he entered her all the way. For a moment his mind whirled as it tried to process everything that he was feeling. He didn't know which was better; the feel of Tonks' butt against him, her warmth, or the squeezing her body was giving him. It was all too much and he felt an incredibly orgasm overcome him. He collapsed back onto the bed and was surprised at how quickly it had been. Then he realized just what had happened and his heart plummeted, he couldn't even bring himself to look at Tonks to apologize. After a moment he managed to stutter, "I'm sorry Tonks... I... I'll be better next time, I'll try to be. If you even want me again."
Tonks was a little upset by what had happened but she understood and didn't really blame him for it, she knew he would get better. "It's okay Harry, really. It happens to the lot of people the first couple times and I had you pretty excited before we started. Besides you already gave me an extremely great orgasm with that talented tongue of yours."
Harry only seemed to be worse after she said this and was looking from the floor to the far wall, as if ashamed to even look at her. Tonks liked the changes she had begun to see in Harry. The constant affection she showed him, full nights of sleep, allowing him to take his anger out through his running and dueling, the concentration and Occlumency training, not being kept in the dark, and not having to deal with the Dursleys had all had a great effect on him. He had been becoming more and more comfortable and confidant with himself since they had begun dating and training, but this seemed to have wiped out everything she had worked for, leaving Harry with the confidence problems being raised by those bloody Dursleys caused.
"Harry... Harry, look at me. Please Harry." He wouldn't turn his head so Tonks put her hand on his chin bringing his head towards her as she kissed him lightly on the lips. "It's fine Harry. I mean it." She was once again amazed by the amount of emotions she could see in his eyes and it completely destroyed her seeing the amount of pain and self-loathing he was in now. Knowing that she'd have to do something about this before it ruined everything Tonks held out her hand and summoned her wand to her. When she noticed Harry's shocked look she just told him that all Auror's had to be able to wandlessly summon their wand in case they were disarmed.
Harry couldn't hear what spell Tonks said but he did feel the effects of it, almost instantly he became to grow again inside of Tonks becoming, if possible, even harder and larger than he was before. "As you can see that spell makes you hard again, so now that you've had your first time I'm sure you'll do tons better." She began moving and grinding her hips against his taking great pleasure in feeling him stretching her again. "Don't look so surprised Harry. Magic has many uses; I'll just have to start showing some of the more colorful ones to you..."
Quite a while later nothing could be heard except for the ragged breathing of both Harry and Tonks. Tonks had been right, the second time was much better for both of them. Getting back in bed after taking a quick bath Tonks felt her chest stirring as she looked at Harry and saw the small smile and look of contentment on his face. She was incredibly happy knowing that she was the one who had helped put it there.
The next morning Harry woke up in a great mood and it only improved when he felt Tonks' breasts and arm on his chest and looked over to see her head next to his; he was once again happy to see that it was her real face.
Harry spent most of the day working on his Conjuration, Occlumency, and Metamorphmagus abilities. He was concentrating on his Conjuration when Tonks interrupted him by coming up hugging him and babbling about finally doing it. Harry couldn't understand her at first but then realized she was talking about communicating with her Eagle. Once she calmed down a bit they decided to duel with Tonks using her pet and no offensive spells. He found that the duel was much harder than normal at the beginning because he had to keep an eye out for the Eagle at all times but after a few minutes found that his years as a seeker helped a lot, the Eagle was no different than a bludger and he had a lot of experience avoiding those. Once he started thinking like that things began to work in his favor. Tonks couldn't launch offensive spells at him so he thought he was safe to go on an all out offensive, unfortunately he forgot that she could easily send his own spells back at him and only managed to avoid being hit by his quick reflexes which had been honed even more being attacked all the time during his runs. Harry then began to Apparate around randomly, sending a few powerful spells at her and then Apparate away before any of his spells could be reflected at him. The duel went on for quite a while, with Tonks becoming more and more apt at controlling her Protector and Harry trying anything he could to get past her shielding spells and dodges. It finally ended over an hour after it began when Hedwig arrived and tried to protect Harry by attacking the Eagle. Tonks quickly un-summoned her protector and both Harry and Tonks gave Hedwig a lot of attention and some owl treats for trying to help.
Afterwards Tonks wanted to try and control her Eagle to follow Harry while he went on a run around the field. By the end of the lap she could have the Eagle follow Harry, fly past him, circle him, or fly back towards her. With a little begging Tonks convinced Harry to do another lap but this time with her, so that she could work on trying to control her Protector while concentrating on running. It took her a bit but by the end of the lap she could control the eagle to some degree while running. Unfortunately the concentration need to change commands was too great and she ended up falling each time she tried.
The Occlumency lesson later was going pretty well for Harry, he had been in a great mood since his outing yesterday and while reliving some of his memories was painful, he had managed to stop Tonks from seeing them for the first time! Motivated from his success Harry wanted Tonks to try a few more times. The second and third times Tonks tried a bit harder and after a few moments Harry was able to stop the memory, he still couldn't stop her from being in his mind but he could at least stop the memories with a lot of effort. Being on a roll Harry wanted to continue with the lessons even though he was quite a bit tired from all the effort and previous training. This time Tonks tried her best to see his memories and was able to. Harry put up as much of a fight as he could and managed to slow down the memory, even switching it temporarily to another memory, but Tonks had been able to see it in the end. She was just about to pull out of his mind when pain exploded in her; it felt like she was dying, like she was being burned by the heat and the cold at the same time, her mind pounded as if someone had taken an ice pick and shoved it straight into her brain. Using all her concentration Tonks managed to pry her eyes open for a moment before the pain overtook her again; unfortunately the second she had them open was just long enough for her to see Harry's body fall limp on the ground.
