AN: Ok so this is the first of three chapters for the week, next week might be delayed a week because I'm going to be busy. I'll see how it goes. These chapters are shorter than normal.

AS Usual I do not own any of the characters or the original story itself, I write this for fun (even if I'm terrible at it.) and am making no money.

Chapter 6: A Day With Dora:

After a wonderful lunch that like usual was provided by the wonderful house elf Tilly, Dora decided it was time to get to know her new housemate. Maybe she should take him for a walk around the neighborhood, so that he could get used to his new surroundings. She then realized that she had no idea how long he had lived there yet, she was one hundred percent sure it had to be after easter, because she had spent that with her parents, and he was nowhere to be seen. So that must mean that he had only been there since mid-April at the earliest. Ohhh since he was new in this time it meant that he would need new things, she could take him shopping! Wonderful ideas began to spring into her head about outfitting him in her usual punk look, it would be nice to see someone else decked out like her, especially in this 'normal' neighborhood. The looks on the neighbor's face at seeing her with her outlandish hair and clothes was already a sight to behold, how she couldn't wait to get Harry to also emulate that look and disturb them. Those thoughts brought a huge smile to her face and looks of dread on the rest of the occupants of this nice kitchen.

"Soooo Mom, Dad, how long has Harry been living here?"

"Well Nymphadora, Harry has been living here since late April" Andi replied pausing after saying her daughter's name to take a drink of water. She of course earned the usual Dora glare, which consisted of blood red hair and a look of deep anger. Oh how she loved that look, it always told her she was winning her little game of teasing her 'dearest' daughter.

Dora pushing down the deep loathing at her dreaded first name, turned to look at Harry before asking, "So does that mean he doesn't have many clothes?" she finished with her most innocent look, a look itself that was fooling no one.

Harry just looked at her hoping that a dreaded shopping trip wasn't happening anytime soon. She of course didn't pick up on his look before she decided to dash all his hopes in less than 10 words.

"Sooooo can I take him shopping?" This unfortunately had Harry pale, Ted to look at him in pity, and Andi to light up in excitement.

"Why yes Nymphadora that sound like a wonderful family activity for the day." Ted's look of pity switched to a look of fear and forlorn dread, Harry meanwhile shrunk further into his seat hoping not to be noticed, alas it was not meant to be though.

"Bbbbbbut Muuuuum, you guys spent the last month in a half with him, shouldn't I get time to spend with him." Andi looked thoughtful; Ted looked relieved at that earning him a glare from Harry. Harry clearly was being thrown to the wolves or whatever the hell Dora was by his new 'father' figure. Ted meanwhile acted like he didn't see the look on Harry's face, telling himself it was inevitable, and Harry should take one for the 'team'.

"Ok Dora, I'll allow it, on one condition, you two must be back by 5 at the latest, that gives you roughly 4 hours which is more than enough time for a small wardrobe update. We can do more intensive shopping tomorrow." Andi said resting her head in her hands, getting mightily amused at Harrys fast changing hair.

"M-m-more?" Harry managed to squeak out, the noise itself causing Zephyr to look up at him in disgust at his cowardly human servant.

"Duhhh four hours is barely enough time to get you a few outfits." Dora said looking at him like he was the stupidest person on the planet.

"She's right son, you're going to need more clothes and considering your potion regime to fix your problems is now done you need better fitting clothes than the temporary ones we bought you before." Ted said trying to hide his grin, Andi just nodded along but seeing her husband's expression her eyes narrowed.

"He's right Harry, tell you what we will get up early tomorrow as a family and buy you some more essentials, you will also need new things for your room to make this more of a home for you. It should take most of the day." Ted realized his love had cornered him due to his 'manipulation' resigned himself to his fate. His wallet would be getting lighter, hopefully he would finish the day with his sanity intact, that was a fools wish though.

Harry looked at her pleading with his eyes trying to change her mind, but he found no quarter before sighing "I guess if I have to."

"You have to" Andi said glaring at him and her husband, showing who the alpha in the house was.

Dora meanwhile bounded to her feet causing Zephyr to float up instead of hitting the floor due to her forgetfulness.

$ DAMN FOOL $

Dora apologized hoping to get forgiveness from her new friend, he ignored her and floated out of the room towards his servant's room to get some more sleep. Dora looked sad for a moment before she moved to Harry pulling him to his feet "Come on" she said dragging him from the room, a silent Accio wallet from Harry managed to snag him his wallet before she managed to get him out of the house.

A look of pity crossed Teds face as he shook his head, Andi meanwhile looked happy that Dora was going to push the boy out of his shell, she hoped that would make him more open.

Scene Break

15 minutes later Harry and Dora finally made it to the local shopping mall, or what passed for it in their town.

"In here" Dora says dragging Harry into a clothing store, his look of trepidation ignored.

"Fine" he said resigned to his fate.

What happened next was one of the single most humiliating days in recent memory. He was forced into becoming Dora's personal doll, as she forced him to try on countless outfits that exuded a punk rock vibe. Merlin forget that he would actually tell her he actually liked her style, if he did he was pretty sure that he would be dragged here frequently. While Harry always favored a quick in and out approach to shopping Dora herself seemed intent on the opposite. She seemed to want him to try on every outfit in the store. He did draw the line at her attempts to get him to wear leather pants, he refused to admit her pout and puppy dog eyes were cute though, he couldn't have her think her advances were working. His face gave him away though as he blushed, which caused her to smile at him widely. It was after much new designer clothes that she finally declared it was time for his new underwear, her teasing lustful look caused his blush to reemerge and his stuttering refusal, her now signature pout returned in full force. He quickly chose a couple new undergarments and added them to the pile ignoring her every move. Merlin women were difficult, Hermione had never been like this. It was at this point he truly realized that he wasn't sure if it was women were difficult or it was just Dora, he decided then and there he wasn't going to try to overthink it, it would probably save him a future headache. It was nearing 4 when they finally finished his clothes shopping, that set him back almost 500 pounds! Dora then insisted they stop for dinner at her favorite little cafe before heading home. They were mostly silent as they waited for their food, him in awkwardness and her in silent contemplation.

"So tell me, what do you like to do for fun." Harry asked, trying to jumpstart a conversation that wasn't about him for once.

Her eyes lit up at his question, "Well I love to train to duel, I don't know if my mom and dad told you, but I want to be an Auror."

"No... they didn't" he said, growing curious as that was a career he had been leaning towards, at least until he got the recommendation to a possible career choice as an unspeakable.

"What made you want to be an Auror." he asked, taking a quick drink.

"Well as you probably know my mom was born from the Black family?" he quickly nodded. "Which you know was full of really dark people, my aunt Bellatrix" she spat the name out, "is imprisoned in Azkaban for life for being an overall shite human being. I decided long ago that I wanted to make sure people like my aunt Bellatrix and cousin Sirius could ever hurt people again."

Hearing his godfathers name brought a frown to his face, "Sirius is innocent, I found out in my third year that Peter Pettigrew betrayed my parents and that he framed Sirius."

Dora's jaw dropped at that revelation, before she could ask her multitude of questions their dinner arrived. As soon as the waiter was gone though Harry heading off her questions told her everything that happened with Pettigrew and Sirius. By the end of that explanation Dora looked pissed that her favorite 'uncle' was thrown into Azkaban without an interrogation or a trial. To be honest Dora was not handling this new information well, she was doing her utmost to hold in her Metamorph gifts otherwise her hair would have shifted blood red in the middle of a cafe full of muggles. She did not need obliviators on her case over breaking the statue of secrecy. Harry then explained that they planned on righting that wrong as soon as the timeline matched up since messing with time could unravel the fabric of the universe according to those that found him. He almost called the people who picked him up unspeakables, and he wasn't sure Andi or Ted would be happy with him if he revealed that tidbit. Dora did look happy about that they would be getting Sirius free in roughly 7 years, at least if things turned out the way they wanted to. Again, silence reigned as they quietly finished their dinner, grabbing Harry's bags of clothing they made the slow walk home, the whole time Dora was thinking up what to do for the rest of the night.

Scene Break

"Hey Mum, were back!" Dora yelled out as soon as she finished stumbling out the doorway.

"In the kitchen" Andi called out.

Entering the kitchen Harry noticed Andi and Ted with a cup of tea while they browsed what looked to be the evening prophet.

"How was shopping kids." Ted asked

"It was great! We managed to get him plenty of new sexy outfits!" she said winking suggestively at Harry, causing another blush to cross his face. He really needed to get a handle on his Metamorph capabilities, he was getting sick of losing to Dora in what he was coming to realize as her trying to rile him up. He barely had control of the mood hair; it took his every bit of concentration to lock his form while in public.

"Nymphadora, stop flirting with the poor boy, you're going to permanently turn his face red if you keep this up" Andi said with as shake of her head, causing Dora to roll her eyes at her name.

"Dora, Harry, why don't you two go wash up dinner should be done in a little bit."

"We stopped at Diana's on the way home, I missed their food. I was actually wondering if we could go to the cinema for the night?" Harry grinned at this he hadn't seen many movies and each new one would be a treat.

Ted and Andi exchanged a look which seemed to convey a whole conversation before Ted shrugged. "I guess Nymphadora just be sure to be safe, and I don't care if the movie is done or not you will be home by 9 or you will be grounded for the rest of the month." Dora gave her mom a hug at this, seeing the look on her father's face she laughed and gave him one too before replying ok. She then grabbed the excited Harry's hand as she led him out of the house and out towards a beginning of a new bonding experience.
