Recap

Tonks just laughed as she watched Harry pull out the timer. He hit the button and the vortex appeared in front of them. Tonks waved by to Gorton and jumped into the vortex. Harry waved bye and followed behind her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mall World

The vortex opened on to the new world and Tonks came out with a light thump as she landed on her feet. Harry came out a moment later, but wasn't as lucky as he fell with a thud on his ass.

Harry stood up, rubbing off his robes. As he did so, he saw the shocked expression on Tonks' face. He looked at her for a moment a bit confused about her expression "Tonks what's wrong?"

Tonks looked at Harry and her expression stayed the same. "Harry look around, does it look like we are in the Room of Requirements to you?"

Harry looked around and finally realized what Tonks was going on about. They weren't standing in a dark empty room that they came to know as the Room of Requirements. Instead they were standing in the middle of a dimly lit room that had boxes stacked on rows of shelves that seemed to go from one end of the room to almost the other end. There was only a narrow walkway between the shelves and at each end that prevented the shelves from taking up the whole room.

Harry looked at Tonks as he absentmindedly pulled the timer out of his pocket. "Maybe we landed on a world where Hogwarts uses this room as a storage room."

Tonks looked at Harry but she didn't seem to impressed by his answer. "Maybe but there are a lot of better rooms for this purpose than this one. Why would they use such a magical room to store rows of boxes?"

Harry looked at the timer and then at Tonks again. "I don't know but we have one day, three hours, and six minutes to find out." Harry walked up to Tonks and placed a comforting arm around her. "Don't worry hun we will figure it all out, I am sure there is a logical explanation for it."

Tonks concentrated a bit and soon was standing the same height that Harry stood and then she started to kiss him. She had wanted to do it on the last world but didn't get to do it before they left. Now that they were alone in this 'storage room' she wasn't going to miss her chance.

They continued to kiss until the sound of someone clearing their throat could be heard. Tonks turned a bit red in the face and Harry turned to see who had interrupted his kiss.

He had his hand firmly clamped on his wand prepared to hex whoever had the nerve to interrupt him, but left go of it when he saw who had actually interrupted them.

Albus Dumbledore stood in the doorway with a shocked expression on his face as he looked at Harry and Tonks. "Mr. Potter! Explain to me exactly what you think you are doing in here!" Dumbledore said in a harsh tone that Harry was not use to or expecting.

Harry looked at Dumbledore and was a bit taken back by his tone of voice. "I just got here professor!"

Dumbledore glared at Harry. "I see and when you arrived you decided you had to help this young lady find her tongue or something?" Look Mr. Potter you are not getting paid to snog in the supply room! You are to be working now and that is exactly what I expect you to be doing! As for your little girlfriend there I am not sure where she is suppose to be but I am sure she isn't to be in here."

Harry looked at Dumbledore and glared. "Look Albus you don't know exactly who your talking to so I will appreciate it if you reframe from being a total asshole!"

Dumbledore looked even more enraged now as he glared at Harry with loathing in his eyes. "MR. POTTER! You will remember that I am the superior here and if the head of this area is told you are acting this way I am sure he will gladly place you some where else!"

Harry looked at Dumbledore a bit confused as to what in the hell he was talking about. "Look old man I don't know how in the bloody hell you treat my double on this world, but I will not tolerate you talking to me that way! Now if you would just listen to me and place this necklace around your neck you will see I am not the Harry you know!"

Dumbledore now looked thoroughly confused as he placed the necklace warily around his neck. He then had a look of pure understanding on his face, though his stern glare did not change much. "So it would see that you aren't the Potter of this world. though I must say you do bear a striking resemblance to him, though you have a bigger backbone than he does. I should have realized something was wrong because the Harry of this world would never have stood up to me."

Harry continued to look at Dumbledore not removing his hand from his wand. "Now maybe you will explain why the room of requirements looks like a supply closet? Also what is happening around here that makes this world's Harry just a wimp?"

Dumbledore looked at Harry with a mild amount of distrust in his eyes. "This is a supply room because I covered it to one and eliminated the Room of Requirements as you called it. you are currently standing in the supply room of the Hogwarts Department, which is where all students of Hogwarts work. I suggest that you and your lady friend follow me to the office so we may get your processed."

Harry and Tonks had no idea what Dumbledore was rambling on about but decided to follow him anyway so they could try and figure it out. The sight they saw before them amazed and frightened them at the same time.

The great hallways of Hogwarts were not filled like they once were with portraits of witches and wizards. Instead there were posters showing all sorts of merchandise and different sales that were going on. The classrooms were now changed into small department stores that had many different things for sale along the way.

There was a huge sign in the hall that read "Welcome to the Hogwarts Department of the Greater London Mall."

Harry and Tonks looked at each other in disbelief, neither could truly grasp what was going on but they both knew that it wasn't right. The stairways they once knew were gone, and were replaced by muggle like elevators and escalators that were ran by magic instead of electricity.

There were people all over the place many of the shopping and a lot of others working. Harry and Tonks followed Dumbledore into his office, which was not at the top of a spiral staircase, but instead on the main floor. His door had a sign that read "Department Manager"

He had them set down as he closed the door. His office didn't have all the portraits it use too or any of the devices. Now it only had awards he won for his department on the walls. "As you know I am Albus Dumbledore and here I am in charge of the Hogwarts Department of the Greater London Mall."

Harry looked at him a bit confused but Tonks was the one to speak. "Sir, do you mean that all of London is now a mall?"

Dumbledore looked a bit shocked at first but sat down as he looked at them. "Yes London has been a mall for muggles and wizards alike for over one hundred years now. We strive for excellence here and try to keep our department the on top of all other sales. Since the two of you are new here I suggest we get you registered so that you may start to use your mall cards. It would not be wise to have people not buying things, because I only like happy shopping customers in my department."

Tonks looked at Harry and then at Dumbledore. "Sir we do not plan on staying long, nor do we do a lot of shopping when we come to a new world."

Dumbledore didn't look happy about this comment. "Miss Tonks while you are here you will shop and like it. If you are not shopping then we are losing money and the heads will not tolerate us losing money."

Harry leaned over and whispered to Tonks. "Lets just get the card and then we can play along until we leave."

Harry and Tonks both looked at Dumbledore and agreed to do whatever he asked of them. They had to fill out forms for the cards they were to use, and after an hour they were told to go out into the mall and shop.

Tonks didn't look to sure about going around a large city sized mall but she followed Harry out of Dumbledore's office. They made their way towards the seventh floor where the Gryffindor tower was. Harry and Tonks decided to change their appearances so they didn't look like their doubles, maybe that way they would get by with little trouble.

They pasted the room where the transfiguration classroom should have been and instead they found there was a store ran by Professor McGonagall that sold different transfigured items.

They quickly made their way a past McGonagall's store towards the tower and when they drew near they found that Ron Weasley was standing outside the door. "Hello and welcome to the Gryffindor Tower Inn, would you be liking a room for the evening or just visiting?"

Harry didn't know what to think about this; never on all the worlds he had been too did he come across one just like this. "I think we will be staying a day or more, so we will take a room."

Ron looked at him and then at the girl. "Will you be needing two rooms or would you like a joint room?"

Harry smiled, as Tonks blushed a bit. "We will take a joint room, and you can charge it to my account."

"Yes sir." Ron said taking Harry's card and running his wand over it. "Thank you Mr. Arnold for staying in the Gryffindor Tower Inn, I am sure you will enjoy your stay here. We have some of the nicest guests in the whole mall that stay here."

Ron handed Harry a card that showed him his unique password for entry into the tower. The password would only be good for two days and after that he would need a new one. However Harry and Tonks didn't plan on staying two days so it didn't matter much to them.

Harry and Tonks made their way into the Gryffindor common room and found that it looked like it usually did, which was a bit of a shock considering how much of the school had changed. They walked over and sat down away from the main area of the room. Harry quickly cast a silencing charm, so they wouldn't be over heard.

"I don't know what is happening here, but I am glad this isn't my world." Harry said as he looked at Tonks with a small smile on his face.

Tonks had a grin on her face as she looked at Harry. "Since we are here we might as well buy a few things. I mean there seems to be a lot of things here that we couldn't find elsewhere. After all they seem eager for us to charge everything to these little cards of ours. Though I am not to sure why they would want us charging, instead of using galleons."

Harry looked at the floor for a moment and then looked at Tonks. "That bit has be puzzled as well, and I must say it is down right disturbing. Everyone seems happy enough but still something tells me not all is as it seems."

Just as Tonks was about to say something she saw Neville Longbottom come in and he looked down right scared. A second later there were severely popping sounds heard as men dressed in black robes appeared around him.

"Longbottom you aren't spending like you should be!" One of the men said in a harsh tone.

Neville seemed a bit beside himself. "I am sorry, I just haven't needed to buy much lately."

"That is no excuse!" The man said as he aimed his wand at Neville. "You shall be taken to the center for spending control. You will be reconditioned and allowed back out once you learn to buy like you should."

Before Harry could do or say anything the men along with Neville just disappeared form the room. Tonks looked scared as she looked at Harry. "They are harsh here about spending."

"It would seem that Dumbledore wasn't lying when he said he didn't like customers who didn't spend." Harry replied as he continued to look off where Neville once stood.

"Harry what are we going to do? If they suspect we aren't spending then they may come for us as well. I can't afford to be separated from you now." Tonks said with a tear in her eye. "Your all I have left Harry, I have no world to call home any more, you are my whole world now."

Harry wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug. "Don't worry Tonks we will do what we have to so we can stay together. We will leave this world together no matter what the cost!"

Harry and Tonks decide to go out and explore the floors of the school and see what all they have to sale. They figured since they had a good bit of time to kill before their next jump they best make the most of it.

As they were walking they came to a small shop, which was placed in one of the spare classrooms. The shop was ran by Dean Thomas, and he had a lot of different types of weapons found inside it. They were both muggle and wizarding in nature, which excited Harry. He had read Tesi Shun Lotos by Leonardo Matrix many times along his journey and wanted to learn how to use a sword in combat so badly. This would be the ideal place to get a weapon to practice with and try to understand the art of Tesi Shun Lotos better.

Harry walked over to a display case that had all different types of swords in it, and examined each one with a keen eye for detail. Tonks wasn't as interested in looking at the cases in the shop but she did look just to please Harry.

Dean walked over and looked at Harry and Tonks with a small grin on his face. "You sir have a keen eye for swords I can tell. I am a bit of an expert when it comes to selling them, so I can tell. I think that a two handed bastard sword would be the best suited for you."

Harry just looked at Dean and had to fight back his laughter about how he was acting. Though Harry was interested in the sword it seemed a bit big for him. "Actually I was looking for something light that would be easy to practice with. I am just learning to use a sword and don't want to get to advanced."

Dean looked at him with a look of delight on his face and then moved to the next shelf. "I have just what you need then sir. I have a single handed bastard sword that is lightweight, and works nicely for a novice."

Harry looked at the sword and instantly knew that he needed to have that sword. He had a twenty-six inch blade that connected to a silver hilt that had a wolf's head on the end with ruby eyes. "I'll take it!" Harry said before even realizing what he was saying as he handed Dean the card that Dumbledore had given him.

"Very nice choice sir." Dean said taking the card from him and running his wand over it to charge the sword to his account. "I am sure you will really enjoy this sword Mr. Arnold."

Harry got a coal black sheath for the sword and placed it over his shoulder. He then looked at Tonks. "Linda maybe you should pick something up, you don't want to be accused of being a poor spender."

Tonks just grinned as she looked at the shelf with a set of daggers in it. "Maybe I will, never know what we might run into on our travels."

Dean looked at them for a moment with a look of suspicion in his eyes but then turned his attention to making another sale. "I have a special set of throwing daggers here that are magically enhanced for demon fighting, though we haven't seen many demons in years. I could let them go cheap just to get them out of my shop."

Tonks didn't look to happy about it at first but she saw Harry grin, and knew she should do her bit to blend in. "Okay I will take them, you never know what we might come across in our travels."

Dean smiled as he pulled out a set of three throwing daggers that were big enough to conceal beneath one's robes without being detected. He ran his wand over her card and then gave her the daggers. "Have a nice day."

Harry and Tonks spent the next few hours shopping and buying things that they might need along their travels. Harry bought a cloak to wear over his robes to conceal his sword. They had also stopped off by the dinning hall, which was now a restaurant of sorts and bought some dinner.

Before calling it a night they decide to go into one section that interested them earlier in the day. There was a pub found in the school called the Moonlight Lounge. As they walked in they were shocked to find that it was ran by Remus Lupin of all people. He stood behind the bar with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to the Moonlight Lounge, what can I get you fine people to drink?" Remus asked as Harry and Tonks sat down at the bar.

Harry smiled at seeing his old friend but knew he wasn't his real mentor but liked seeing him nonetheless. "We'll just take two butterbeers good sir."

Remus grinned as he pulled out two cold butterbeers and sat them in front of Harry and Tonks. "Haven't seen the two of you in these parts before, though you seem familiar."

Tonks gave him a faint smile as she looked at Harry. "Yeah we're just passing through and decided to spend a day or so around here to see what everyone has to sale."

Remus grinned as he cleaned the bar with an old ragged cloth. Then Harry felt his heart drop as he saw Sirius walk into the pub and he sat down at the bar. "Hey Moony give be a double Fire Whiskey, it's been a bad day."

Remus gave him a look of understanding as he pulled out two bottles of Fire Whiskey. "Here ya go mate. How they treating Harry down in the pits?"

Sirius lowered his voice but Harry could just barely hear him. "I tell you Mooney if he doesn't get that debt paid off soon that prat Riddle will have his head. I mean he keeps having Dumbledore give Harry the dung work, but that boy doesn't deserve just crappy work."

Remus too kept his voice low as he spoke with Sirius. "I know what you mean, I can't believe they would treat James' kid like that, but we will find a way to help him. I have been setting back my tips to help him out. Harry really needs to control his spending, or else he will live in this hell forever."

Harry and Tonks exchange a look of concern as they return to their drinks. After a few minutes Hermione walks in and sits down at the bar. "Hey Remus how about giving me a Fire Whiskey."

Remus just grinned as he sat down a fire whiskey in front of her. "Did think you would be drinking the hard stuff Mione."

"Me either, but after the day I had." Hermione said as she gulped down a big drink of the whiskey. "I tell you Remus I am tried of being in that accounts department. I don't think I can stand sending the account wizards after another friend."

Tonks looked at Harry with a confused expression on her face and then whispered to him. "Do you think it was account wizards that took Neville before?"

Harry just nodded his head as he downed the rest of his butterbeer. "Remus right?" Harry asked acting like he didn't know who the bartender was.

Remus looked at him and nodded. "Hey my name is Remus, though many just call me Mooney."

"So tell me Mooney, I thought the legal drinking age was seventeen." Harry said as he looked at Remus with questioning eyes hoping not to seem to far out of place.

Sirius laughed in a rough dog growl sort of way. "Not in these parts it isn't. Hell its been fifteen around here since I can remember. Where you from that it is seventeen?"

Harry looked at him a bit shocked "I am not from the Great London area, I hail from the north. Hey Mooney how about you set up another round of Fire Whiskey for everyone on me."

Remus grinned as he hand Sirius, Hermione, Tonks, and Harry their Fire Whiskeys. "You seem like a nice man, so I will warn you to watch how much you charge, because they want you to be in so much debt that they can own your soul forever."

Harry looked a bit scared though deep down he wasn't planning on staying long enough for them to claim his soul. "Why do people keep charging if they know what is going to happen?"

Hermione looked at Harry and frowned. "Cause if you don't charge your quota for a month they will take you off to the center for spending control. Then they screw with your mind until you agree to spend, spend, and spend some more."

"Why don't people fight it?" Tonks asked taking a slow drink of Fire Whiskey, she never really drank the stuff too much.

Sirius laughed again as he gulped down another mouthful. "People have tried and they were sent off to Azkaban for it. Nowadays people just deal with and try to spend only what they know they can pay back. That way they don't lose their soul in the end."

Harry sat with Tonks and Hermione long into the night drinking away. Finally at around three in the morning the three 'friends' made their way back to the Gryffindor tower, which they decided to bring a few bottles along with them. They sat in the common room drinking for another hour and by this point Tonks was becoming pretty well loaded. Harry wasn't as bad off because he kept performing a sobering charm on himself after each bottle, though he knew it would kill him in the morning. Hermione chose to get plastered since she wanted to forget all about working.

Tonks stood up almost falling on her ass, and staggered over to the couch where Hermione was sitting. She fell down on the couch with a thump and looked at Harry. "Hey baby come over and sit with us, we won't bit unless you ask us too." She said as she flirtingly winked at Hermione.

Harry wasn't too sure about sitting in between two drunken friends, but knew that he couldn't outright say no either. He walked over and sat in between them and before long he had both of them flirting with him.

Harry woke up the next morning or rather afternoon and felt like shit. The sobering charm might have worked good to keep your mind in tact but when you actually slept off your intoxication you paid for it ten fold. He quickly found that he had Tonks lying on one side of him and Hermione on the other side of him. He had stopped using the sobering charm once he sat between Tonks and Hermione, so his memories leading up till the time he woke were a bit sketchy.

Harry moved the covers enough to look under them and found that all three of them were stark naked under the covers and a shiver of dread came over him. 'Damn it! Why didn't I keep sobering myself last night?' Harry asked himself as he placed the cover back down.

Harry laid there for a few minutes and then Tonks started to move a bit. She looked at Harry and smiled as she moved her hand over his naked form. Then she started to realize what had happened the night before and blushed a bit as she looked over Harry at Hermione.

Harry smiled and motioned for Tonks to get up and watched as her naked form got out of bed. 'Umm I do love her, but damn does she have a hot body.' Harry thought as he stood up and followed Tonks over to their pile of clothes. They quickly change and then headed off to the their room before Hermione woke up.

Harry and Tonks didn't talk about what had happened and spent the remainder of their time on the world avoiding the issue. Harry knew that he should talk about it, but felt that it was an experience that would never be repeated.

Right before the time for Harry and Tonks to leave the world, Harry went to see Remus. He gave Remus a sack with five hundred galleons in it to help pay off the Harry of this world's debt. He then went to meet Tonks in the supply room, which should be the Room of Requirements. Harry used an unlocking charm to unlock the door and followed Tonks into the room. Tonks and him made sure they had all they bought on the world and waited for the timer to hit zero. Then when it did Harry opened the vortex and he followed Tonks through to find out what the next world would be.
