A/N: Here is the next chapter of the story. If you don't know a spell I used, I would suggest checking the information story I have up on this site to help answer your questions.
Cycla: Thank you for the review. I am sorry that Tonks and Harry couldn't bring Oracle with them, but it was fixed to the world it was on. As for the storm, I doubt that anything any of them would have come up with would have ended it. It is after all a magical storm.
Silverscale: Thanks for the review, and thanks for reading and reviewing both my stories.
Egyptian Flame: Thank you.
Vash the unholy: Thanks for the review. No, this isn't self-insertion so to speak. The character of Blade Claven is an Original Character to the story, but in no way is to be me. I merely use my favorite characters' name as my pen name, but he is an independent character I use in a lot of my writings. I believe I had mentioned this before, but I wanted to clarify it for you now.
Kkenny: Thanks for the review, and I warned you to get Tylenol lol. Blade doesn't want to let to much out that he knows, and also why he is vague is because Harry wasn't even suppose to be there yet. Blade knows when Harry is to come to him, but these unexpected arrivals throw Blade off. (some) lmao
Benwa: Thank you for the review. I am glad you liked Oracle, and yes it was to be perfect in some sense. Your correct they left Destruction world on August 1, 1996 at 7am and that is when they arrive on this world.
Johanroyal: Thank you for the review and I am glad that you like them. I hope that you continue to enjoy what I write, because that is what makes it all worth doing.

Recap
Tonks and Harry took a shower together and then got dressed to go to the next world. They were all set to leave by six thirty, so they talked for a half hour until the timer hit zero. Harry hit the button on the timer and the bluish watery vortex appeared in front of him and Tonks. "After you milady." Harry said as he watched Tonks jump into the vortex. "I love that view." Harry said as he jumped into the vortex seconds after Tonks did.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Twenty-Five: Unfriendly Reunion
The vortex opened once again into a room that was becoming all too familiar too Harry and Tonks. It may or may not have been his world, but when they came booming through the vortex they were meet by the same empty room they had left from.
Once Harry shook himself, after yet again landing roughly on his arse, he thought about having some light in the dark room. Instantly a low light filled the room enough so that Harry could see Tonks still sitting on the floor rubbing her backside. "Tonks are you okay?" Harry asked as he helped Tonks to her feet.
"I'm fine, nothing that I am not use to already. Though I am a bit tired of those rough rides." Tonks said as she smiled at Harry.
"I'm glad your okay." Harry said and then grinned. "Cause I would hate for anything to happen to that sweet ass."
Tonks playfully smacked Harry in the shoulder. "Now Mr. Potter is that any way to speak to your traveling companion?"
Harry grinned more as he stared at Tonks' backside acting as if he wasn't paying attention to her fake frown. "Never would I speak that way to a mere traveling companion, lucky for me you're more than that."
Tonks smacked him again playfully to bring his attention from her ass and back to her face. "Oh so now I am no longer just a traveling companion huh?"
Harry felt the butterflies in his stomach start to do back flips as he looked into Tonks' eyes. After a moment of silence Harry smiled and then without a word started to kiss Tonks with all the passion that he had built up inside of him for her. After a minute he pulled away from her and once again looked deeply into her eyes. "Milady you are far from just a companion, and I had hoped that you would agree to be my girlfriend." Harry felt a lump swell up in his throat as he said the last part.
Tonks' eyes filled with tears as she moved to kiss Harry. "Oh Harry I love you so much."
"I love you too Tonks." Harry said as he ran a comforting hand up and down her back. 'You probably will never know how much I truly love you Tonks.' Harry thought as he went back to kissing her.
The kiss didn't last as long as either one of them would have liked it too. A loud explosion that echoed through the room they were in had disrupted it. The exact location of the explosion was undetermined, but it was loud and it shook the floor they were standing on.
"What the hell?" Harry asked as he held on to Tonks to prevent her from fall over. "Can't I go to a world where there isn't some sort of catastrophe on the horizon?" Harry asked to no one in particular as he looked over Tonks to make sure she was ok.
"I am sure there are worlds like that some where Harry, but it wouldn't be our luck to find them." Tonks said trying to prove that she was fine, as Harry continue to look her over.
"I guess we should see which moron blew something up. With any luck it wont be…" Harry didn't even get to finish his statement as he fell to his knees clutching his scar as searing pain shot through it.
Tonks bent down beside him and could swear that she felt his pain as she placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"Voldemort!" Harry managed to get out as he collapsed to the floor unconscious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wormtail how goes the attack at Hogwarts?" Voldemort hissed intently at his scared servant.
"Milord, Bellatrix says that the attack is in full force as we speak. It is believed that Dumbledore is hiding that brat Potter somewhere inside the castle, but I am sure they will find him soon." Wormtail squeaked as he continued to kneel before his master.
"That arrogant old fool! Will he never learn that I always get what I want!" Voldemort hissed. "I want that brat brought to me alive! Anyone who tries to do otherwise will answer to me personally! Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes milord, I will make sure that Bellatrix knows that sir." Wormtail squeaked as he waited for his lord to allow him to leave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Harry wake up!" Tonks said as she shook him, trying to get him awake.
Harry's eyes popped open and looked like he was fully alert once more. He had a horrified expression on his face until he saw the scared look on Tonks' face. His expression quickly turned to one of concern as he saw she was crying. "I'm okay Tonks." Harry said as he stood up. "We have to find Dumbledore quick. Voldemort has his Death Eaters hunting for me!"
Tonks looked at Harry with a worried expression on her face. "Harry, he isn't after you, he is looking for your double."
Harry knew that she was worried and concerned. Hell so was he at this point, but nothing seemed right to him. Sure he felt pain in his scar from other Voldemort's that he had come close to. Though none of them had ever caused him to have a vision. No only his sworn enemy, the Earth Prime, Voldemort could cause the vision. "Tonks I am not so sure that I have a double here. I seriously think that I am home!"
Tonks stood there lost in thought as she faced Harry with a blank expression on her face. She always knew that one day they would arrive on his world, but why would it happen now? She had just got him to admit that he loved her, like she had loved him for weeks. Now she would have to deal with the fact that she had an older double here and that Harry might not be interested in her any more. After all if he was truly home he would have all his real friends with him. Why would he want someone from another world trying to get in the middle of all that? Why would he want her, when her older double might look a lot better and act a lot better than she did.
After a minute or so Harry couldn't take the silent blank look that he was getting from Tonks. "Tonks are you okay?" When he got no response he did the only thing he could think of to snap her out of her trance.
Tonks was brought out of her musing as Harry kissed her on the lips. "What? Oh sorry I was lost in thought. Harry if you are home, then you are in a lot of danger."
Harry could plainly see that Tonks was worried She always worried about him when they went to a different world. Though this time it seemed that she was even more worried than normal. "If I am home, which I believe I am. Then we need to hurry before the Death Eaters can kill my other friends. Tonks we need to get to Dumbledore."
Harry quickly pulled a small parchment out of his pocket and enlarged it with an enlarging charm. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Harry said as he watched the parchment change into a map of the school. The worst of his fears was confirmed when he scanned the map and found that there was a large group of Death Eaters in the Entrance Hall. He scanned the map again, this time he was looking for someone. As he looked over the map he found that he was the only Harry Potter that was appearing on it. He continued looking, but couldn't find Dumbledore anywhere either. "Where can he be?"
Tonks looked at Harry for a moment a bit confused. "Harry, what are you doing?"
Harry looked at her and grinned. "I am trying to locate Dumbledore, but he isn't on this damn map! That means he is either not in the castle or…" Harry couldn't bring himself to finish the statement. He would not believe that Dumbledore could be killed again. No he wouldn't even think about that option, all it meant was that Dumbledore was outside of Hogwarts somewhere.
Tonks could tell what he was thinking, since he had the same expression when she told him Dumbledore had been killed on her world. "Harry I am sure he just left the grounds." She said in a shaky voice, but deep down she knew that Dumbledore would not willingly leave Hogwarts while it was under attack.
Harry tried to say something but found that he couldn't. Instead he just nodded in agreement and went back to checking the map. As he scanned it two names popped out at him and brought on his rage once more. He saw that Bellatrix Lestrange and Peter Pettigrew were standing just outside the castle, and from the bubbles above their heads it indicated that they were talking. Harry wished that the map would show what they were discussing, but it didn't matter. What mattered was getting to them and killing them for what they had done!
Harry was about to put away the map and go after them when he saw another name that interested him. He saw that Rodolphus Lestrange was making his way down the corridor outside the secret room Tonks and him were in. Harry quickly dawned his invisibility cloak out of his pocket. "Tonks go to the back of the room and don't move at all. Have your wand at the ready, just in case." Harry whispered to her.
Tonks was about to object but Harry shushed her by kissing her. "Now go quickly." Harry hissed as he pulled the invisibility cloak over himself and disappeared from view.
Harry watched as Tonks went back to the corner and had her wand out at the ready. He then merely thought of a dark room, and the Room of Requirements instantly went pitch black like when they came in. Harry eased his way to the door fumbling for the knob a few times before finding it.
Tonks didn't know what to think when Harry disappeared, but decided to do what he said. As she finished readying her wand the room went dark. 'Harry what are you doing?' Tonks thought to herself as she looked into the darkness.
Harry snuck out into the corridor and remained hidden beneath his invisibility cloak as he waited. Like a hunter hunting their prey, Harry kept a keen eye on the map, looking to see when the person he was target was near him. Harry didn't have to wait long for Rodolphus Lestrange to stalk a past him, clearing looking for him. Harry quietly stepped behind him and then said "Stupefy!"
Rodolphus Lestrange fell to the floor stunned and Harry quickly went to work on tying him up. Once he was secure Harry charmed him to take him into the room of requirements. Harry had the lights come back on and found Tonks running at him.
"Harry your back!" Tonks exclaimed as happy as she could be. Then she abruptly changed her mood as she slapped Harry across the face. "Damn it Harry you could have been killed! I am your partner damn it and as such I should have been there to give you back up!"
Harry looked away from Tonks in shame. He knew that it was stupid to attack a Death Eater alone, but still he did. It wasn't that Harry didn't want Tonks to back him up, because she was good at fighting. He had worried that something would go wrong and Tonks would have been hurt. That's why he didn't let her help, and for that he felt ashamed.
Tonks could see he was ashamed and decided to let it go for now. "Why did you bring the Death Eater in here?"
Harry turned back to her and then looked at the Death Eater. "That is no ordinary Death Eater. That is Rodolphus Lestrange…"
Tonks knowing the name she quickly cuts him off. "You mean Bellatrix Lestrange's husband?"
Harry looked at Tonks and grinned. "The very one, and I am sure that your cousin Bella would just love to see him again!" Harry said with a glint of insanity gleaming in his eyes as he looked at the Death Eater.
That was the kind of look that sent shivers down Tonks' spine. She knew whenever he had that look in his eyes, he was up to something, and normally it was not something nice. Especially if that gleam was directed towards Death Eaters or Voldemort himself.
Harry pulled out his map again and looked at it in horror. "NO!" Harry shouted as he saw that a group of Death Eaters was headed right where Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and a few more students were. "We have to stop those Death Eaters before they get my friends!" Harry shouted as he took off for the door, but then stopped at it. "Tonks you coming or what?" Harry shouted as he thought of a cage to hold the unconscious Death Eater. Rodolphus Lestrange was out cold still and tied up lying at the bottom of a steel cage with his wand missing, since Harry took it from him when he stunned him.
Tonks didn't have to be asked twice as she ran after Harry with her wand firmly in hand.
There were battles being fought all over castle, by the looks of the map, but Harry was only concerned about the ones headed for the Great Hall.
"Harry is it smart to run right in looking like you?" Tonks asked semi-out of breath as they raced down the corridor.
Harry skidded to a stop and looked at Tonks. "Your right Tonks that would be pretty stupid. After all they are looking for me!" Harry kissed her passionately but quickly pulled away changing his appearance. He went back to looking like he did when he was called Ludwig on other worlds.
Tonks smiled and changed her appearance a bit just in case her double was around. "Shall we Ludwig?" Tonks asked with a gleeful smile.
Harry grinned. "Lets go Linda." Harry said catching on to what Tonks was thinking. No point in letting anyone in this war know who he or she was until it was all over. Even though Harry was sure this was his world, he still didn't want Death Eaters to know who he was.
Harry and Tonks raced towards the Great Hall and found the Death Eaters were already heading into the hall. "Damn it!" Harry hissed as he looked on. 'If only I was faster!' Harry thought as he watched the last one enter the hall.
"What now?" Tonks asked in a whisper that Harry was barely able to hear.
Harry threw his invisibility cloak over both of them and then muttered a silencing charm around them. "Now we need a plan. We can't just go in and start throwing curses, but if we don't do something they will die." Harry said as he pulled out his map once more.
Tonks looked at the map while Harry was and spotted her name beside his on the map. As she was looking though she found that her name also appeared outside the castle. "My double! She is outside the castle, why would she be out there?"
Harry looked at Tonks' double's location for a moment and then seen as Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Arthur Weasley, Charlie Weasley, and Bill Weasley all appeared beside here. "Looks like reinforcements have just arrived. That's why your double was outside she just got here. No doubt Dumbledore went to get them from Order Headquarters."
Tonks smiled at Harry. "I knew there had to be a reason for him to leave."
"Yeah but that wont help my friends Tonks. We need to get in there and do something." Harry said as he watched the names of the Death Eaters surround the students in the Great Hall.
Before Tonks could say anything Harry put his map away and kissed her. "If I die remember that I will always love you!" With that Harry bolted out from under the invisibility cloak and took off for the doors.
Harry threw open the doors back in his normal appearance and looked at the Death Eaters. "You girls want me come get me!" Harry shouted as he took off down the corridor hoping that the Death Eaters would leave his friends and come after him.
Tonks stood frozen under the invisibility cloak. She couldn't believe what Harry had just done. Was he purposely trying to get killed? Did he want Voldemort and his followers to win this war? Did he wish to die so much that he would leave her alone to do it? All these questions were crashing into her mind, as she stood there frozen. She watched in horror as four Death Eaters ran out of the hall after Harry.
A second set of four came out of the hall to go after Harry but Tonks couldn't allow that to happen. She sent four stunners flying and stunned all four Death Eaters before they even knew what hit them. The problem was that there were still four Death Eaters inside the Great Hall, and Tonks didn't know what was happening inside there.
Harry was racing down the corridor and he knew that he had them on his trail. He didn't know how many came after him in all, but he could tell that at least four were. He could hear their feet hitting the floor behind him. 'If only four came after me, then that means eight are still with my friends and Tonks!' Harry thought as he continued to run till he came to the section he was looking for.
Harry quickly ducked behind a statue and hid in the darkness. He changed his features back to look like Ludwig and waited. A few seconds later the Death Eaters ran by him, and he waited till he couldn't hear their footsteps any longer. He breathed a sigh of relief and then took off back towards the Great Hall. 'I have to help them, I wont let any of them die because of me!' Harry thought as he continued to run.
Tonks managed to move the four unconscious Death Eaters into an empty classroom after tying and gagging them. She then took their wands and headed back towards the Great Hall. "Harry," she hissed as she seen him coming down the hall.
Harry couldn't see her but he knew that had to be Tonks under his cloak. "Tonks where are you?" He asked in a low tone.
Tonks lifted the cloak to show where she was and Harry quickly got under it. "There are eight more to.." Harry started to ramble but was cut off by Tonks.
"No there are only four left, I took four out as they came out to go after you." Tonks said with a smile on her face.
"Tonks your beautiful, I could kiss you!" Harry said as he kissed her briefly on the lips. "We need to get the last four before they kill anyone inside."
As if on cue Harry found out that his luck was running out again. A scream echoed out of the great hall, quickly followed by many more.
"Damn it we need to hurry." Harry hissed as he started to move with Tonks towards the Great Hall.
With no plan of any kind Harry opened the door slowly hoping not to drawl attention to himself. He peered in the opening and saw that two of the Death Eaters were using the Cruciatus Curse on two of the students.
Harry muttered the silencing charm once more to ensure no one would hear him. "Tonks we have to take them out." Harry said as he saw the other two Death Eaters were aiming their wands at the rest of the students keeping them at bay.
"There has to be some way to help." Tonks said as she looked at the hopeless situation.
Harry pulled out a small coin from his pocket. It was his DA coin that Hermione had made to tell the members when a meeting was to occur. "If I can get the DA members attention, then maybe all of us could fight." Harry said to Tonks as she looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"That wont work Harry, they probably don't have their wands." Tonks said feeling a lump of dread fill her throat.
Harry looked at the coin for a moment. "I know but it has to work. If only to cause a distraction." Harry muttered the spell Hermione taught him to change the date and time. Within seconds the coin read "Now!"
Hermione was huddled in a corner with Ron, Ginny, and Neville when she felt the coin in her pocket. She slowly moved her hand in and pulled it out carefully trying not to get caught. 'Harry?' Hermione thought as she looked at the coin.
The other three DA members with her all had a confused expression on their faces as they looked at her. Hermione gave them a look of understanding, but she still didn't know herself what Harry wanted them to do.
From his position Harry just could stand and watch them in the corner. There wasn't much else he could do unless they got what he meant.
"Harry I don't think they got the message." Tonks said with a lot of concern in her voice.
Harry looked at her and grinned his insane grin. "They got it, but now they have to figure out what I meant by it."
Harry returned to watching for any signs that they knew what he wanted them to do.
Hermione scanned the room but couldn't see Harry anywhere. Then it dawned on her that maybe he was under the invisibility cloak, but how could get got back after being chased by eight Death Eaters.
Ron didn't care all he knew was Harry was in trouble and if he got to save him then he would be the hero of the day. Ron stood up to the gasps of surprise from his fellow DA members.
"Where do you think your going boy?" The Death Eaters said in a harsh tone as he pointed his wand at Ron.
"I need to go!" Ron said standing there acting as if he was about to piss himself.
"Go where?" The Death Eater said not really grasping the concept.
"The LOO you nutter!" Ron shouted as he continued his act.
The Death Eater laughed at Ron. "You have some nerve boy now sit down before I kill you!"
Ron didn't sit down he stood there glaring at the Death Eater. "Either move or you will regret it I promise." Ron said cursing his own damn bravery or may his own damn ego. He wanted so much to be a hero that he didn't really grasp what would happen if he pissed off the Death Eater in front of him.
The Death Eater laughed again. "Boy you are either really brave or really stupid! Now sit your ass down or I will make you REGRET IT!"
Ron moved a bit and then swung his fist connecting to the side of the Death Eater's head. He had smacked him right in the temple, which caused the Death Eater to drop his wand. Acting on instinct or pure ego Ron dove for the wand.
The other Death Eater that had been watching the exchange with anticipation shouted. "Crucio!"
Just as Ron was about to get the wand he was hit by the Cruciatus Curse and screamed in agony on the floor.
Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing. "No! This can't happen! Not here of all places! Multiplicus Stupefy!"
Multiple stunning curses flew out of nowhere and struck all three Death Eaters that were using the Cruciatus Curse. They all fell to the floor stunned by the stunning curses.
Hermione jumped up and ran to Ron, as Neville and Ginny went for the Death Eater's wands.
Harry got out from under his cloak and was headed for Ron also.
"Nice try Potter!" Came an all to familiar voice from the doorway behind where Tonks was still concealed by the invisibility cloak.
Harry spun around and saw that the four Death Eaters that had been chasing him, plus another shorter one were standing in the doorway. It was the shorter one who had spoke, as he had his wand aimed at Harry, which he was holding in his silver hand.
"Wormtail!" Harry shouted as he saw the hand of the Death Eater that spoke to him.
"Every good Potter. I don't know how you changed your appearance so quick, but I know it is you." Wormtail said as he looked at him. "Come with us and no one else will have to die because of you."
Harry was frozen in place. He knew that he could not allow any one else to die because of him. Too many had already died because of him, and he would not allow that to happen here. "Fine Wormtail I will come, but only after they are released!"
The Death Eater that Ron had hit began to stir on the floor and slowly grabbed his wand. Everyone was focused on Harry and didn't even notice him. "Avada Kedavra!" The Death Eater shouted as he got to his feet.
The flash of green left the wand and struck Ron directly in the back as Hermione was holding him.
"NO!" Wormtail shouted then aimed his wand at the Death Eater. "You idiot! I almost had Harry why did you do that?"
The Death Eater never had a chance to reply as Harry spun around and shouted. "Croitoso!"
The Death Eater didn't even know what hit him as the curse hit him cutting his head clean off. Harry turned his attention once again to Wormtail. "Wormtail that bastard killed my friend the deal is off!"
Wormtail knew that this was not going to be nice. "Kill everyone but Potter he is mine!"
The four Death Eaters behind Wormtail began sending killing curses at the students in the great hall. Harry wanted to shield them, but knew it was near impossible. Instead he decided to fight back. He sent curses flying back at the Death Eaters as they were trying to kill his friends.
Tonks felt something snap inside of her. As she was filled with pure rage and hate, which really didn't seem to be her, own feelings but accepted them nonetheless. Before she even knew what she was doing or where it came from she shouted. "Ultis Violis!"
A wave of energy left her wand and struck all four of the Death Eaters sending them crashing into the far wall. They all fell to the floor unconscious from the curse and the impact into the wall.
Harry looked at Wormtail and smiled. "Looks like your all mine rat! Electisilisi!"
Sparks flew from Harry's wand as the curse flew at Wormtail. Wormtail quickly reverted to his rat form dodging the spell by mere inches.
"No you don't!" Harry shouted as he saw the rat take off across the floor. "Hoveris Selectium!"
Wormtail might be quick in rat form but he wasn't quick enough to dodge the curse. He found himself hovering in mid air unable to run or anything.
"I need a cage!" Harry shouted still holding Wormtail under the curse.
Hermione stood up and transfigured a piece of wood into a cage. She went and caught Wormtail in it, and then Harry released the curse.
Harry muttered some spells on to the cage with a grin on his face. "That will hold the little rat bastard until I can take proper care of him."
After the cage was dropped on to a table Hermione hugged Harry tightly. "I have been so worried about you!"
Just then he felt Ginny hugging him as well. "Harry your back!"
Tonks came out from under the invisibility cloak and cleared her throat. Harry looked at her and smiled. "Come over here!" He said with the smile still on his face.
Tonks ran over and hugged him. "Harry if you ever do something stupid like this again I will kill you!"
Harry just laughed as he looked at her. "I know, but my love, if I didn't do it who would?"
Hermione and Ginny were both shocked by Harry's comment. However it was Hermione who spoke first. "Your love? Who exactly is this Harry?"
Harry smiled and was about to say Tonks but then thought better of it. "Her name is Linda and we have been together for a while now. Yes she is my love, and I would do anything for her, just like I would any of you."
The girls didn't have a chance to ask anything else as the four death eaters that hit the wall started to stir slightly on the floor. "Shit forgot about those losers!" Tonks said with a glare at them.
"I will bind them up, you check on everyone else." Harry said as he went over stunning all of them again. He then tied and gagged them all before moving them with the other three unconscious Death Eaters.
"Harry!" came an all to familiar voice right before Harry was engulfed in a bone crushing hug.
"I…" Harry tried to say but was being crushed to hard by Mrs. Weasley's hug.
After she left him go he finally realized all that had happened. "Mrs. Weasley…" Harry started but couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Ron!" Mrs. Weasley screamed as she saw Hermione cradling Ron's lifeless body in her arms on the floor.
Harry collapsed on the floor, as if his legs we jello, he couldn't bare the thoughts that came to mind. Ron died because he was trying to help him. It was because of him that Ron and so many more had died today! "NO!" Harry shouted as he got to his feet and ran out of the Great Hall.
Tonks watched him leave and quickly took off after him. She would not allow him to run off and get killed even if she had to die to stop him.
Harry ran at full tilt down the corridor leading to the entrance hall. He was going to find and kill every last Death Eater even if it killed him. However what he found once he got there was more than he could take.
Death Eaters and Aurors alike lay dead on the floor. Remus Lupin, Tonks, and Alastor were still fighting against four Death Eaters. Arthur, Bill, and Charlie were all lying on the floor, but he didn't know if they were alive or dead.
He watched in horror as a green flash of light struck Moody and he fell dead to the floor. "NO MORE!" Harry shouted causing everyone in the hall to stop and look at him.
"So nice of you to join us Potter!" Came a cold and insane female voice.
Harry glared at the Death Eater speaking to him. "Bellatrix! You want me? Then I suggest you come get him cause I have your husband captured already!"
Bellatrix just laughed as if she didn't believe him. "Nice try Potter, but Rodolphus wouldn't allow a boy like you to capture him."
"Sorry to deflate your ego bitch but I did! He is bound and gagged as we speak. I also got that no good rat Wormtail too!" Harry spat at her as he glared.
Bellatrix didn't know to believe him or not, but now was not the time to worry. Her lord wanted the boy no matter what the cost. "Potter you come with me now and no one else has to die."
"Nice try bitch but that didn't work when Wormtail tried it what makes you think your any better?" Harry asked as he continued glaring at her with his wand aimed right at her.
Bellatrix didn't like the situation one bit. As far as she knew Harry could be telling the truth, and that cold stare of his didn't help matters. "Awe is poor little Potter still upset about his godfather?"
Harry snapped it was one thing to insult him, but she brought up Sirius. That was a subject that Harry tried to avoid a lot, but being face to face with the psycho bitch that killed him was too much. "Incompasous!"
The curse left Harry's wand and Bellatrix just barely dodged it, but the Death Eater behind her didn't far so well. The curse hit him dead on and he fell to the floor screaming in agony.
"Potter you shouldn't use Dark Arts that you don't understand! I thought you would have learned that the last time." Bellatrix said as she sent the Cruciatus Curse at him.
Harry released his hold on the other death eater and dodged Bella's attack. "This bitch is mine!" Harry shouted as he lunged at Bella. He didn't care about magic any longer, now it was personal and he wanted to feel every bit of his revenge being unleashed on her.
No one moved as Harry tackled Bellatrix to the floor and started to punch her in the face repeatedly.
Coming to their senses Remus and Tonks sent stunner at the remaining Death Eaters as Harry continued to punch Bella.
Linda (Tonks but it would get confusing, so I will use this name for now.) came running into the wall and froze in fear as she saw what was happening. Her double was binding up Death Eaters along with another man she didn't know as her Harry was pounding the shit out of someone.
Linda regained her composer and ran over to Harry. "Harry stop before you…" She trailed off as she seen the blood that was flowing all over the floor. Harry had been hitting Bellatrix so hard that he had busted her nose, jaw, and almost most of her face. With one last sickening thud Harry's fist cracked through shattering the bones in Bellatrix's face.
Harry fell to the floor and was soon being held by Linda. He wasn't exactly sure what had come over him, but in that brief moment he snapped. He had just beat Bellatrix to death with his bare hands and there was little left to her face that resembled her.
Tonks and Lupin walked over looking at Linda and Harry. Remus had a hold of Tonks as she about got sick looking at what was left of Bellatrix's face. "Harry" Remus started but couldn't even bring himself to speak.
Harry stood up and hugged Remus tightly. "I am so sorry. I..." Harry cried into Remus' shoulder as he tried to speak.
Tonks knew how Harry was feeling, as she left like killing her cousin too, but she couldn't believe Harry did it. Let alone had done it with his bare hands. This was not going to go over well with the Ministry.
Remus, Tonks, and Linda helped Harry back to the Great Hall as other Aurors showed up to clean up the mess in the Entrance Hall. As they entered they saw that the scene in there wasn't much better.
Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and Hermione were all crying as they watched med-witches working on the injured and covering the dead.
Ginny looked at Harry and about fell over from all the blood on him. "Harry!" Mrs. Weasley and Hermione both turned to see what Ginny did and were floored by the sight.
Hours of clean up went by and for Harry it seemed all too surreal. His friends had been killed as he stood helpless to help them and then he killed a person he hated more than anything.
Harry woke up in the hospital wing and looked around in shock. Dumbledore and other Order members were looking at him with concerned expressions on their faces. "What's wrong?"
Dumbledore looked at him once more and then turned to the others. "Leave us I wish to speak to him alone."
The other members did as he asked and left the side of the bed. Dumbledore then closed the curtain and put up all sorts of charms so they wouldn't be heard. "I am not sure what has happened here, but I fear you are not in for an easy ride. Before I get to that though might I ask who you are?"
Harry looked at him a bit shocked again. Surely he was joking because everyone else seemed to know Harry even in his disguised state. "I am Harry Potter, but you should already know that."
"I was afraid you would say that. You see I know for a fact that Harry Potter is being held in a safe house that I set up. I also know he is not able to leave it, so that means you can't be him." Dumbledore said as if trying to get a grasp on the situation.
For Harry this came as a bit of a shock. He thought that he had been home the whole time and now he was finding out that he wasn't. How could the world be so much like his own, and yet it wasn't. "Sir, if you say I have a double here, then I fear I owe you an explanation." Harry said as he pulled out the shield another Dumbledore had given him.
Dumbledore looked at the shield and as before he started to fully understand what was happening. "Harry I am so sorry. I know you probably thought this was your world, but I am afraid it isn't."
Harry pulled out the timer from his pocket and saw that he had twenty-six hours left. "It is so close to my world, that I did think I was home. However now I know I was mistaken, and will have to leave in twenty-six hours. Though I don't know what will happen now, because my double will be blamed for the murder."
"That will not be a problem. I will make sure that no one remembers you or your friend coming here. They will not remember who killed Bellatrix either, as I will make it look like she was hit by curses instead of fists." Dumbledore said as he looked at Harry with an expression of sympathy and understanding.
Dumbledore left so Harry could get some sleep. He promised to take care of Linda until Harry and her were to leave.
Harry woke up again and found that he had an hour till he left. "Damn why did they let me sleep so long!" Harry said as he got out of bed to be met by Poppy.
"Your awake, excellent! Professor Dumbledore would like you to come to his office." Poppy said as she led him out of the hospital wing.
Harry went to Dumbledore's office and found that his Tonks was waiting there with Dumbledore.
She gave him a big hug and then pulled away. "About time you wake up. You complain I sleep long." She said with a smile on her face.
"Why didn't anyone wake me" Harry asked as he sat down beside Tonks.
"That was my fault Harry. I wanted to ensure no one saw you, so I asked that Poppy keep you sedated till now. I brought your double back and didn't want to chance you and him encountering each other. Here eat and then you both can leave from here." Dumbledore said as food appeared in front of Tonks and Harry.
Something caught Harry's eye that instantly told him he was not home. Something what would have help when he first arrived. Fawkes was not the normal red Phoenix that he knew; this world's Fawkes was a dark shade of blue.
"Professor, has Fawkes always been blue?" Harry asked trying not to sound to shocked.
Dumbledore laughed as he looked at Harry. "Oh my no, it would seem that someone felt it would do for Fawkes to have a new look."
Harry tried to hide his laughter as he looked at Fawkes. "Poor Fawkes who would do that to you?"
Dumbledore looked at him and laughed. "I believe it was your double that did it if I am not mistaken. I believe it has to do with the fact that I told him he was to stay hidden for a few hours after bringing him back here."
Harry couldn't hold back his laughter at this. "Sounds like something I would do, though I would have done it to you instead of Fawkes."
"Actually I too had blue hair, until I got back to my office and changed it." Dumbledore said with a gleam in his eyes.
Now both Harry and Tonks about fell to the floor with laughter. Neither could imagine Dumbledore with blue hair.
"I believe it is about time for you to leave if I am not mistaken." Dumbledore said after listening to them laugh none stop for minutes.
Harry looked at the timer and smiled. "So it is. I guess we shall go them Blue Beard." Harry said with a smile on his face.
Dumbledore didn't seem to get it at first but then smiled once it hit him. He watched as Harry hit to the button and the vortex appeared in front of him. Harry and Tonks both said their goodbyes and vanished into it.
