Sorry for not updating sooner, had a writers block, now over it. More chapter will be coming out quicker hopefully. Thank you for reading.

Chapter 5: The Tonks Family


Similar to the way they arrived in Diagon Alley, Harry, Minerva and Gardevoir appeared out of nowhere in front of a two story house in the middle of a road. They landed on the pavement with a pop of pink facing the house, Gardevoir was recalled and Minerva pushed open the front gate with Harry following behind wondering what his new family would be like, hoping they would be better than the Dursleys.

Minerva walked up to the forest green door and knocked on in it with the pokeball door knocker. Inside there was whispers and a rush of movement. Harry saw in the upstairs window a shadow moving behind a curtain closed to hide something. The door unlocked and slowly opened revealing the two people behind. They stepped out to greet Harry and Minerva and Harry was able to get a good look at them.

The woman had light brown hair and warm eyes with a face that looked like an aristocrat, the man had blue eyes and blonde hair, he had belly smaller the Uncle Vernon but he had a large smile. 'Harry meet Andromeda Tonks and her Husband Theodore or Ted Tonks, the will be your new family'

Both Tonks smiled at Harry 'Hello Harry, we both have been waiting for you and to share our home with you. We both knew your parents and were very sad to hear of their passing, we would've loved to have looked after you earlier so you could've grown up in our care, but we are still glad that we can at least look after you.' Andromeda spoke to Harry who was slowly inching his way from behind the Professor.

'Hello' was Harry's quiet greeting, he was surprised that they knew his parents but was nervous at how they would treat him, he hoped it wasn't like the people in The Leaky Cauldron or the Dursleys.

'Harry, you can call us Andi and Ted, we will care about you and treat you like a child of ours so don't worry if you think we would be awed at your fame. Our daughter is excited to meet you and will tell you all about her time at Hogwarts and we can tell you about ours at Hogwarts.'

'Okay Andi.'

Minerva decided to change the discussion. 'Andromeda, Ted, shall we head inside and show Harry his new home?'

'Of course, come in Harry.' Ted lead Harry and Minerva in. The hallway had warm colours and photos of a family of three with a girl with pink hair and the family surrounded by what appeared to be their Pokémon. There was a kitchen and dining room to the left of the hallway and living room on the right with the TV playing showing some news that Harry didn't understand but somehow had to do with Pokémon. At the end end of the hallway was a staircase leading to the second storey and a door past the stairs that Ted said led to the communal garden and battle area.

Andromeda called up the stairs 'Nymphadora, come down and meet Harry, I know your listening.'

'Don't call me Nymphadora!' Harry was a bit surprised at the response to what he thought was a simple request. Stomps could be heard from the top of the stairs and a teenage girl appeared with pink hair and and a pink blob glued to her shoulder.

'Dora, put Ditto away, you can bring him out later.' Ted calmly asked the girl who pulled out a pokeball and recalled Ditto. The girl saw Harry and grew a massive grin.

Hello Harry, call me Tonks and don't ever call me anything else.' Harry just gulped and nodded at the serious tone she took not wanting to annoy her.

'Harry come up the stairs, your room is next to Dora's and across from ours.' Harry went up the stairs and saw his new room, it was so big, how could he ever deserve something like this, he didn't even know how to decorate it.

Harry jumped at a hand placed itself on his shoulder, he looked up to see the Professor smiling at him. 'Harry, it's all yours, all of it and you deserve it, I saw the cupboard you slept in and don't think for one second that it shouldn't be yours, this is for you and yours alone.'

Harry started to tear up at he finally had something to himself in a home that he was finding out cared about him. He hugged the Professor who hugged him back knowing why he was crying. The Tonks' just stood awkwardly, understanding that it was an emotional moment but not why. Harry entered his room noting everything inside, a desk and lamp, a bed, wardrobe and a comfy chair to relax in.

'Later in the week Harry, we can go to a store to decorate your room.' Andromeda said after noticing his gaze at the bare and bland room.

'Alright Harry, I'm going to send for the Headmaster here to meet you and while that happens I'll talk to Ted and Andi and you can talk to Nymphadora about Hogwarts and Pokémon.' Minerva told Harry to help settle and to give her time to explain to Andromeda and Ted about Harry was treated at the Dursleys.

'Come on Harry, come to my room and I'll show you my Pokémon, I think you'll like them and they will definitely like you. Harry and Tonks separated with Minerva and the Tonks couple who walked down the stairs to talk. Harry followed Tonks to her room which was filled with posters of Pokémon fighting in stadiums he didn't recognize and people he guessed were famous.

'Cool Pokémon aren't they Harry, the people are the Champions of other regions and eilite trainers and with them is their Pokémon during battle against other trainers. I wanted to be fight a champion growing up, but really liked the idea of becoming an auror. Let me show you my Pokémon.'

Harry was nervous and excited at meeting her Pokémon and also a bit taken aback at her fast speaking and personality. Tonks pulled out six pokeballs from the seven on her belt and threw them around her and in a blinding light six Pokémon appeared in all sizes, shapes and colours.

'I do have one more on my as you can see but she doesn't like the light and she is a bit shy around others you might see her later, but let me introduce you to my Pokémon, first is Kecleon, my starter and he likes to change colour to hide and to prank others by jumping out and scaring them, next is Ditto as you saw earlier and he can tranfsform into any Pokémon or human, but fails at the face which looks like a smiley face, third is Zoroark and she likes to have hair pink like mine, she can change like Ditto but uses an illusion to look like other Pokémon, fourth is Pawniard, she's a child of my mothers Bisharp which she evolves into, after that is Grimmsnarl, he is one of my strongest Pokémon for battling. Second last is Inkay who all Auror trainees have to have a new Pokémon to go through they're training with, the other trainees knew that I trip over a bit and helped arrange it so I ended up with him as a joke because he is the Revolving Pokémon and always flipping over to attack. Last is Mimikyu who is very shy and only really likes me and my team, I saved her from some Hogwarts students trying to take off her rag and she stayed with me ever since.' Tonks took a deep breath finishing her quick explanation and her Pokémon greeted her and the others.

They then noticed Harry and curiously looked at him tryin to discern who he was. Tonks followed their gaze and answered their question. 'This is Harry Potter guys and girls and he is now going to be apart of our family and is staying with us, he is going to Hogwarts this year and just got his Pokémon today in-fact. Why don't you show your Pokémon Harry, it would be nice to meet them.'

Harry pulled off the pokeballs from his new belt and clicked the buttons to release them, still a bit shy at the amount of Pokémon looking at him. Torchic and Rowlet appeared and saw Harry and jumped and flew over to him. Rowlet flew to his shoulder and nuzzled his ear and Torchic jumped into his arms and spread her heat glowing slightly at the action. Tonks looked a bit surprised at Harry having two Pokémon and her Pokémon watched the interaction curiously.

'Which one did you get first Harry?' Asked Tonks.

'Torchic but then the Professor offered to buy me another and I got Rowlet, took me a long time to find Torchic.'

'I remember my mum telling me about how your mother had a Blaziken, are you surprised to have the same starter as her?'

'I didn't even know about Pokémon before today, I apparently lived in the APA said the Professor and I didn't know my parents were even trainers. But now I know a bit about them and that Torchic is a child of my mothers Blaziken, I'm going to do my best as a trainer.

'Wow, and Torchic is a child of your mother Blaziken, that is surprising, I didn't known if any of your parents Pokémon survived, well you know. Well if you want to be a great trainer first you need to learn about Hogwarts, come sit down and I'll tell you a bit about Hogwarts.'

Harry sat down in a chair opposite hers on one side of the room with Rowlet on the back of the chair and Torchic in his arms.

'Alright Harry, so at Hogwarts the students are sorted into four different houses by the qualities of a trainer that are most prevalent, I won't tell you how you're sorted because it's tradition to find out when you are sorted. These houses are named after the four founding trainers who helped build the school and start Hogwarts as a school for trainers, there is Gryffindor named after Godric Gryffindor, Slytherin after Salazar Slytherin, Ravenclaw after Rowena Ravenclaw and my house Hufflepuff which is named after Helga Hufflepuff. The values you show determines which house is for you, for Gryffindor is bravery, chivalry and helping other, for Slytherin is ambition, cunning and resourcefulness, for Ravenclaw is intelligence, planning ahead and wit, and for Hufflepuff is loyalty, hard work, patience and fair play. Understand so far?'

'Yes, how are we sorted again?' Harry asked.

'You will have to wait Harry like I did, mum and dad didn't even tell me, but it's part of tradition, another is the Pokemont projects do you know about them yet?'

Yes, I remember the Professor telling me about them'

'Oh, oh another thing I remembered is that Hogwarts has symbols for the houses which are Pokémon of course and there is one each but it has been other Pokémon in the past, currently it is Pyroar for Gryffindor, Seviper for Slytherin, Corviknight for Ravenclaw and Linoone for Hufflepuff.'

There was silence for a few seconds before footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs and down the hallway. Ted poked his head inside the doorway and saw Harry and Tonks, 'Dora, Harry, there is a visitor here to see you, especially Harry, he's the Headmaster of Hogwarts.'

'Dumbledore is here, Harry you will get to meet the strongest trainer in the Magi region.' Tonks was excited at this Dumbledore and Harry was curious not just because he was Headmaster of Hogwarts but also a strong trainer by Tonks' words.

Tonks ran out of the room after recalling her Pokémon and Harry did so too. He followed slowly with Ted beside him, still with a big smile on his face.

'Ow, not again.' Tonks cried as she tripped on the bottom step and slid on the floor, she stopped and saw the shoes in front of her.

'Hello Nymphadora, fancy meeting like this, I must warn you that running down stairs is very dangerous.'

Tonks looked up slowly to see a wrinkled smile and half moon glasses looking back at her. She hurriedly got up and dusted herself off. 'Hello sir, I hope I'm not in trouble for something I've done am I?'

'No you are not, I am here for someone behind you.' He looked past her at Harry who had reached the bottom of staircase and stared at the old man in the bright robes.

'Hello Harry, I am Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts. It is nice finally meet you, Minerva has told me about your treatment at the Dursleys and I am saddened to hear what happened and I am ashamed at myself for being responsible for that.'

'Why?' Was Harry's question, what did he do for being responsible for the Dursleys treatment, he doesn't even remember seeing him.

'That Harry, will take some time, come sit in the dining room, it will take some time to explain why you lived at the Dursleys.'

Harry walked into the dining room to see Andi and Minerva already sitting down and sat between them with Tonks and Ted to the left and right of him and Dumbledore across the table from him.

'Harry to explain why you came to the Dursleys I have to fit to before when Voldemorts reign of terror was at its height. Throughout he whole time we suspected that the pure trainer families were supporting him with money or by joining in attacking new trainers, the called themselves death eaters after the team name meaning death. The pure trainer families were part of the higher echelons of the government and bribed officials to turn a blind eye to they're prejudice and violence, so when the war ended they used their riches to stay out of jail and when the question of guardianship for you had a chance of being brought up I knew I had to act fast. They could not challenge the placement of you with a closely related family member, but if you were with another family, the pure families as they call themselves could've bribed their way to being your guardians and there was a very high chance of you "accidentally" passing away in their care which would be revenge for your parents stopping their leader and their plans at wiping out anyone they deemed beneath them. I knew your Aunt and Uncle would not like you but I did my best so it was not worse. I wrote a letter threatening them if they did any physical harm to you, but in my ignorance I forgot that they could neglect you and verbally abuse you. I did have Mrs Figg live nearby to send me updates to make sure you were safe. Unfortunately we couldn't change were you lived because there was still the chance of the pure trainer families of finding out were you lived and taking revenge. Now that you are coming to Hogwarts we're we able to change your residence. Harry I do hope you can forgive for doing so and I regret having to place you at the Dursleys but all alternatives had a high chance of you being taken and placed with a family that could have killed you as soon as you were in their house.'

Harry was shocked at the man's explanation for why he was at the Dursleys and that he could've died if he went somewhere else.

Andi and the Professor both placed their hands on his shoulder and squeezed it in comfort. Harry didn't know what to ask.

'Harry, the other choices if you want to know was Andromeda and Theodore, another family who the pure trainers could've very easily bribed the government to remove you and place them in their home and a friend of your parents by the name of Remus Lupin, the only reason he would not be allowed to look after to you because in his youth he contracted a very contagious and deadly disease that he was very fortunate to recover from and left him frail and at best weaker than anyone else, however having Pokepox and recovering has left a stigma on the survivors and the ones known are treated poorly by others who believe they can still transmit a deadly disease, they are always searching for jobs to earn a living and many are homeless from the blatant discrimination. Remus was fortunate that your parents gave him money in the events of their passing and he looks after Potter Manor and the wild Pokémon that live in the area as well as the remaining Pokémon of your parents. While these were much better options than the Dursleys, the were flimsy mostly against the families who had money to look after you and claimed they would treat you properly were the ones who supported Team Mortus and were bribing the current leader of government in to stay out of jail and get what they wanted.'

Harry didn't know what to say or do, he could've lived with someone else instead of the Dursleys but was the Headmaster sure that people would try to kill him.

'Harry I know you may not forgive me immediately for what I have done, but I hope in the future that you learn that this was the safest option that we regrettably had to chose to keep you alive and safe. I did my best to try and stop Petunias jealousy but I can see that I should have tried harder.'

Dumbledore stood up and gave nods to the three adults and Tonks before showing himself out. After the door closed Andi hugged Harry tightly wrapping her arms around him.

'Harry your here now and away from the Dursleys and that is all that matters.'

Harry just nodded, how could he comprehend this, Dumbledore knew that he wouldn't be treated well. The Tonks' and Minerva fussed over Harry in the coming hours after Dumbledore left and when dinner came, Harry ate his best dinner ever. The Tonks family retired for the night after Minerva left saying here goodbyes to them all and Harry. Harry was lying bed trying to believe how fast his life had changed, one morning he was preparing breakfast and another day with the Dursleys and now he's with a new family that treated him so much better.

Ted and Andi both poked their heads in to see Harry snuggled under the duvet with Rowlet sleeping on the headrest and Torchic sleeping in his arms keeping him warm. 'Night Harry, sleep well, we'll be here in the morning, don't worry about waking us up.'

Harry smiled back and nodded hugging Torchic tighter who chirped in her sleep. Both Andi and Ted smiled at Harry and his Pokémon and slowly headed back to sleep themselves.

Ted and Andi both woke up to some of the best smelling bacon in a long time, they crept downstairs to find Harry furiously cooking breakfast. His actions confused them, why was Harry doing this, they didn't ask him.

'Harry? What are you doing?'

Harry jumped at the voices burning his hand on the pan. He whipped around to see Andi and Ted looking concerned with him. He shrunk and backed into a corner.

'Please, I'm sorry, I'll do better, please, don't hurt me!' He cried cradling his burnt hand.

'Harry it's okay, don't cry, please don't cry. We were just worried.'

Andi crouched over to Harry and hugged him and muttering comforting words with Ted hugging both of them.

It was some time before Harry stopped crying but he still shook with emotion. Eventually Andi looked Harry in the eyes 'Harry, why were cooking breakfast, we would've done it for you if you asked'

' A-at the Dursleys, I-I cooked all the time f-for them, they s-said I had to earn my living there a-and I did eve-verything for them, the cleaning, th-the cooking and g-gardening.' Harry was sobbing while he spoke into Andromedas shoulder.

'Harry dear, your not at the Dursleys anymore. You have to do anything here like that sort, they treated you terribly and it became such a normal thing for you. Children aren't supposed to be cooks for families or gardeners or cleaners, that's for the parents and the Dursleys knew it. Harry from now on all I ask is that if you want to cook ask us, not because you feel like you have to but because you want to and no cleaning or gardening, just look after your room only, keep it tidy and that is all you need to do. You are not a slave here Harry, you are your own person and we will treat you like our son, the Dursleys treated you like a servant.'

While Andi comforted Harry Ted had gotten a bowl of cold water for Harry's hand and placed it in. Ted and Andi had an unspoken conversation while Harry was in Andromedas arms.

'Harry, I am a healer or doctor and I know you might not want to but I would to give you a checkup to make sure the Dursleys didn't do any lasting damage to you.' Ted spoke calmly to Harry getting him to understand what Ted was asking.

'Okay' was the almost silent reply. Ted and Andi got Harry to his bed and with Torchic out to comfort him Ted brought his own Pokémon.

'This is Chansey Harry, she helps me with healing both Pokémon and humans. First I'm going to ask you a few questions and I want you to answer them truthfully, there will be no punishment for any answer Harry so don't be scared, okay'

'Okay'

'Good, now have you ever been hurt physically by anyone?'

'Yes, my aunt would smack me if I didn't do something the way she liked, Dudley liked to chase me and hurt me with his friends if they caught me and Uncle Vernon would pinch me sometimes or shove me into things.'

'Your doing great Harry, next question, did you eat a lot?'

'I don't think so, I had food every day but it was leftovers or the fat from the bacon for breakfast or leftovers from dinner that were left out before being thrown away, they did lock me inside my cupboard and not give me food for a day or two I think.'

'Your doing an amusing job Harry, now if you did get hurt by them or naturally by falling over, what happened?'

'They locked me in the cupboard or took food away, I never went to the doctors.'

'You've done an amazing job Harry, just stay there for a few minutes I'll be back.'

Ted stood up and closed the door behind him to find Andromeda and Dora on the other side.

'How bad is it Ted?'

'Very, his is malnourished from lack of meals and extremely small meals which he said were either leftovers or snacks from the food he was cooking. He likely has broken bones healed incorrectly because he's never gone to the doctors before. He is tiny for his age and will need a long time to heal fully, luckily he's still young but he needs all of our support, I don't think he knows what a caring family is, after all the only family he knows is the Dursleys.'

Both of the women were in near tears at Harry's condition and health. 'This is terrible Ted, when Minerva explained what she saw at the house I knew it was bad, but this is another level, I think he's lucky we came earlier soon than later, who knows how much worse it could be.'

'He really does need our help dad, he was very insecure similar to new students when they come to Hogwarts scared at the new environment but it's like he's scared of everything, his Pokémon are helping him so much, he just changed when he had them out.'

Harry was nervous, very nervous, he could hear the whispering but couldn't tell what was being said. He hoped they didn't send him back to the Dursleys. The door opened shaking him out of his thoughts. Ted walked back in Harry's room with Andi and Tonks behind him making him more nervous.

'Harry, we are not going to abandon you if that's what you are thinking, no we are never going to do that. Your are a part of our family in the short time you have been here, you were treated absolutely the worst by the Dursleys and we want to right those wrongs. You are staying.'

Harry hugged Ted at his words, he didn't expect this. Andi and Tonks came over and hugged Harry as well. Harry was happy, he was being called apart of a family that cared about him.

'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' He repeated

'Harry we care about you and you need to know that, your life has not been normal at all or safe or kind. You need to heal from your mental and physical scars with us helping you along the way the whole time.' Ted said.

'Okay.'

'Harry go back to sleep for a bit, we will wake you later to eat, it had been a very emotional morning for all of us.'

Harry was tucked in to bed by Andromeda and she kissed forehead 'everything is going to be okay Harry, we will still be here when you wake up.'

Harry woke up to Andi on the end of his bed with a plate in her hand and a sandwich on top. 'Wake up Harry it's lunch time.'

Harry ate it the sandwich in silence with Andi watching on smiling at every bite. They came downstairs after he was done to find Ted in the kitchen reading the paper. 'Hello Harry are you feeling better now?'

'Much better Ted.'

'Good now Dora is at the Auror academy and she'll be back later if you are wondering. Harry to heal your stunted growth we're going to be giving you meals that might be a bit large for you but all I ask is to eat as much as you can, soon you will be able to eat all of it but for now eat what you can. Secondly you will not be doing any cooking for any of us unless we ask you to help, you will do no cleaning except for your room and just keep it tidy nothing over the top and finally you can have your Pokémon out all the time whenever you want.'

Harry nodded, he would make sure he listened, he starting to realize that maybe the Dursleys were not best family for him and he didn't need to do so much around one house.

'Good, now enjoy yourself, you can read your school books to pass time or have your Pokémon out to bond with them.'

Over the next few weeks Harry was slowly starting to change his routine, personality and behavior. He now woke up when he smelt the bacon and eggs for him, he only had to look after his room, he was also laughing more with the Tonks and especially Tonks herself, they had so much fun together, he watched movies with her and listened to stories of her time at Hogwarts.

Harry was also learning about Pokémon, he discovered that there were types that Pokémon could be and how they could be effective against others with moves of different kinds. He really liked watching footage of past battles between strong trainers at televised events like Leagues. While learning about Pokémon he also got to know his Pokémon more, Torchic liked cuddles and Rowlet liked sitting on his shoulder or in the hood of his jumper or in a bag. Harry also scanned Rowlet as he forgot to when he scanned Torchic.

Rowlet, the Grass Quill Pokémon

This Rowlet is female and has the ability Overgrow.

It knows the moves Tackle, Growl and Leafage. It has the egg move Double team but is yet to unlock it.

Please note: This Pokémon is shiny.

When learning about his Pokémon and addressing them Harry felt weird calling them by their species names and asked them if they would like to be named, Rowlet choose Hedwig after a lengthy list and Torchic accepted the name of Acacia which were highly flammable trees and because he found out all the females in his mothers family were named after flowers and thought he would continue it.

Harry was interested by how trainers became type specialists but he knew it wasn't for him, he already had Pokémon of entirely different types. Mega Evolution was something else that grabbed his attention, how Pokémon and trainer that shared a strong bond with each other could go beyond evolution and Harry hoped that when Acacia evolved into a Blaziken they would have a connection that would allow her to Mega Evolve in battle.

Harry met the rest of the Tonks family Pokémon in the following weeks, Andi had a Bisharp, a Gastrodon, an Altaria that loved to cuddle Harry in her soft wings and a Persian which occasionally allowed Harry to give it scratches. Ted had his Chansey, an Azumarill, a Castform and a Teddiursa that was always begging to be picked up, scratched, cuddled or honey.

The family spent a lot of time with Harry to help him and results were starting to be seen, he was putting on weight which lead his no longer pale complection or skinny frame, Harry also felt stronger after finally having meals that were filling and tasty and was no longer constantly hungry.

Harry and his Pokémon had practiced with Tonks the moves that they had in the communal training area to give Harry a bit of experience with battling and training his Pokémon. Harry was in awe of Tonks battling against other trainers who challenged her, her Pokémon demolished trainers but only to show their arrogance or for them to learn where to improve in training their Pokémon. Tonks was battling Harry with her Inkay and Harry with Hedwig.

'Use Tackle Hedwig.'

'Dodge it Inkay and follow up with Hypnosis and Peck.'

Inkay did exactly as Tonks asked and Hedwig fell to the ground knocked out.

'No! Hedwig!'

'Alright battle is over Harry, let's heal Hedwig and get back inside it's getting dark.'

Harry cradled Hedwig and brought her inside for Tonks to administer a revive and potion. Hedwig woke up fatigued from the battle and glares at Inkay. Tonks laughed at the glare. 'That Harry was a lesson for you and your Pokémon that experience is very useful for battles, I've been a trainer for seven years and a bit and you've only been one for a few weeks, keep your head up and work hard and keep trying and you might have a chance at beating Inkay.'

'Okay Tonks, but why use Inkay and none of your other Pokémon?'

'As I said Harry, I've been a trainer for seven years and all my Pokémon have much more experience than yours except for Inkay who I got only a week or two before you got your Pokémon so the scales for fighting are balanced. And because all trainees get a new Pokemon to train with for Auror academy at the start of their training and it helps with experience for Inkay too.'

'Tonks why do you have to have a new Pokemon for the academy and are there other rules to be an Auror?'

'Loads, firstly the new Pokemon is for you to learn to adapt with a new Pokemon in a new environment without your normal team which aren't allowed to be used until you graduate your training unless it's an emergency, you are allowed to train them but not for Auror tests. You also have to have a steel type Pokémon on your team to be an Auror because a majority of criminals use poison types to help them and steel types have immunity to poison attacks.'

By now Hedwig had calmed down and the pair were sitting in the living room watching highlights of and exhibition battles between gym leaders, elite fours and champions. They continued to watch with Tonks pointing out to Harry different moves for him.

'Dora, Harry dinners ready!' Came the call from Ted.

' Coming!' They shouted and shot up turning off the TV and racing across the hallway and into the dining room and sitting down. Tonks had recalled Inkay but Harry still had Hedwig out who flew over and landed next to Teds Teddiursa who had a jar of honey in front of him which was next to Hedwigs plate of bacon just for her, she had developed an appetite for it and had become her favourite meal outside of Pokefood. Only Tonks had learned the mistake of taking Hedwigs bacon and the plasters on her hands showed.

They ate together and discussed all things from Tonks Auror training and Harry's Pokémon. The topic of Hogwarts came up and Harry was excited and sad at going to Hogwarts, excited at learning about Pokémon and sad at leaving the Tonks' which Harry considered himself a part of their family and they did so too. In bed Harry was about to go to sleep when Andi and Ted poked their heads in as well as Teddy the Teddiursa who came to say good night to Hedwig.

'Night, night Harry, sleep well.' They said.

'Night Andi, night Ted.' Harry yawned.

The next few days passed quickly with Harry not doing much but reading through his Hogwarts books or exploring his Pokédex or watching old footage because he was bored. Finally the day before Hogwarts had arrived. The morning started with the usual greetings and silence over breakfast before Harry and Andi slowly sorted through his clothes and equipment to pack. Finally after lunch they were able to pack everything away except for essentials he could put in his satchel or his backpack.

Time passed slowly for the next few hours and Harry passed the time with his Pokémon and with Ted and Andis' Pokémon. When Tonks came home and dinner was eaten they headed for bed, Harry was once again wrapped in his duvet and Acacia in his arms and Hedwig sleeping on his chair. Andi and Ted popped in to say goodnight. After hugs and kisses from Andi and Ted they stood up and headed for the door. As they were leaving Andi spoke.

'Goodnight Harry.'

'Goodnight Andi.'

'Love you.'

'Love you too.' Was whispered back

Harry was smiling as he fell asleep, he had a family and not just any family, but one that loved him.


Sorry for not updating earlier I had a writers block on how to write one part but I got over it and here this is. I hope you like the chapter and how the Tonks are. I chose Acacia for Torchic because I searched for flammable flowers and Acacia was one that sounded like a name. Tonks is going to be a big sister to Harry and I hope you like the Pokémon I chose for her and Ted and Andi. Andi has I think would fit her and all members of the Black family will have dark types. Ted has Teddiursa because it's ironic and funny, Castform because apparently he's a meteorologist at the start of Philosphers stone, Chansey because he's also a healer from what I've read in other fanfics he also has Azumarill which I felt like he would have. Tonks has Ditto, Kecleon and Zoroark because they all associated with changing appearance and Pawniard because Andromeda would give a child of her Pokémon, Grimmsnarl and Mimikyu because they fit her and Mimikyu is the disguise Pokémon. Inkay was included because of Tonks chronic falling over and as a way to introduce Aurors and their training.

Thank you for reading so far and I hope you come back.

Next Chapter is platform 9 and 3/4 and the Hogwarts Express.
