Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter in anyway shape or form; I just own the computer I type with and my own little ideas for twisting everything around.

A/N: Hey all, just got this back from my betas and thought I better post it right away to help all of you with shacks for my work, so here's your fix that is Wolf for a few weeks as I have run out of chapters for this and have to start writing more having been working on Dragon Lords and such has distracted me from this story so sorry in advance for the long wait.

Chapter 15: World Cup Madness.

The morning of the World Cup found both Harry and Tonks walking along the edge of the campgrounds closest to the portkey point; both of them keeping their eyes open for anyone trying to hop the fences and sneak onto the pitch.

They paused for a moment when a large group came in using an old newspaper. With the group was, surprisingly, Hermione with both of the Patil twins standing on either side of her, helping steady her landing after her first portkey trip.

"Why hello there Hermione, I didn't think you would be interested in the Quidditch world cup, so what brings you along?" Harry asked, walking forward to help the crew in charge of handling all of the port keys sort out the large group; Tonks remained back a little on watch.

"I'm not, but Parvati here talked me into coming along in hopes of… how did your sister put it, Padma, 'getting me a man' wasn't it?" Hermione said, looking at the twin with glasses and a book under one arm. The girl just nodded and moved to follow her parents, her sister only a few steps behind her while also watching Harry closely.

"Well, good luck with that girls but I have to personally say I have one of the finest catches you'll find here and if I catch his eyes wandering I'll neuter him, won't I Harry dear?" Tonks said from behind Harry, giving him a sweet little smile as if he would dare to disagree with her at the moment. Harry just smiled and nodded in agreement, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before moving to continue their patrol.

The pair carried on with their patrol for most of the morning, making a few stops at the portkey point and also making sure the charms over the entry way into the camping groups were still in effect as they had put an idea forward, the Head Auror in charge of the security of the Wold Cup agreed to plant a suggestion in the mind of the camping ground owner to go off into London for the day with his family and they had just charmed the entry way to make sure only people who put money in a box next to the entry could get in.

Around noon, the pair was relived from their patrol; Tonks took Harry's hand and pulled him off to take a look at some of the things for sale. The couple paused at the small army of red heads off to one side just as they were looking over some of the stalls.

Arthur Weasley paused at the formula black hair and hot pink haired couple from the office having seen the pair many times as his department worked closely with the Auror's, giving a wave to the pair he walked over with most of his children with him only the older ones missing going by the head count.

"Hello you two, I have to say it's a surprise to see you both here as I thought you had only just been handed over to your mentors for your final year." Arthur said, taking Harry's hand in his for a quick handshake, doing the same with Tonks as the couple just smiled at the Muggle loving Weasley Head.

"My Mentor was placed on patrol detail here at the cup so I'm here for that and Tonks' decided that she can do the same while she finishes up paper work back at the office." Harry said with a small smile of greeting to Arthur a small nod of the head in greeting to the Weasley children.

"Ah that answers that; anyway I hope you both have time to see the game." Arthur said, turning to head back to his campsite, tapping both of his youngest children on the head for staring at Harry who just looked at them over the sunglasses he had slipped on the moment the sun had risen that morning.

"I'm not much of a Quidditch person, but Tonks should enjoy the game. I'll be patrolling again the moment the match starts replacing one guy who wanted to really see it, although why anyone would like a game that moves too fast to follow half the time I don't know." Harry said, turning away from the others and looking over some of the little figurines not paying attention to the outraged look on Ron's face at Harry's comment about the game he loved.

"Don't pay him any mind Ron, he's always like that for anything that doesn't included blood and the thrill of the hunt, although he doesn't mind football too much." Tonks said, looking at Harry with a smile as he just gave her a look for saying such things about him; after a few moments of glaring at her he just shrugged.

Arthur gave a nod at this as he knew that his youngest son would more than likely have done something that could be considered bad if Tonks hadn't spoken up, quickly guiding the kids away giving a little wave good bye as he went. Tonks returned it before going to Harry's side and just enjoyed his company before going off to take a look around by herself.

A few minutes later, Tonks walked around the corner of a few tents and saw Minerva and Madam Hooch sitting down in front of one of the tents, both of them just enjoying a cup of tea while looking over the chaos that was the World Cup.

"Minerva, nice to see you made it to the cup like you planned." Tonks called out, moving over to her former teacher and now friend. The older woman gave a friendly smile and indicated the free chair across from her.

"Indeed I did Tonks, and where is that lovable partner of yours? It's rare to see the two of you apart after all." Minerva said, Hooch just gave a friendly nod before going back to her cup of tea as she and Tonks had never been that close in the past save in the teacher-student relationship.

"He should be somewhere around here, we are taking a few minutes just to wonder around and enjoy a little alone time at the moment. He'll find me soon enough, though, as he doesn't know that many people yet."

"Well, it's good that he is trying to make a few friends and that you both agreed to spend some alone time, but could you do me a favour and let him know that he's allowed to change back and forth as he wishes now? It should be safe now that he's spent a month as a human." Minerva said, offering a cup of tea to the young woman across from her. Tonks took the cup and sat down, just enjoying talking with the two Professors for now.

A few hours later, Tonks led the way with the two Professors towards the Quidditch pitch. Harry saw them at the gate and wished them all a good game, hoping they would enjoy it. Minerva took the opportunity to tell him that he could change back and forth at will now without fear of becoming stuck like he had before.

Harry had smiled at this news, and, in front of everyone there, quickly changed into SF the Shadow Wolf. He looked himself over for a moment before he nodded to them all, took off into the field of tents, and vanished into a shadow to one side before any of them could track him.

"He'll be happy for days now… He may act and talk like a human, but deep down a part of him will always be the Wolf who found me in Surry Forest and become one of my few true friends." Tonks said softly, moving to enter the stadium; both Professor just nodded and followed along behind her.

"I have to agree with you, dear, but then again, all Animagi are like that. Deep down, a part of me is a house cat just like Albus is a fox; it's a small price we pay for going to the trouble of learning the change. Only, in Harry's case, it's going to be slightly stronger than normal." Minerva said as the three started to search for their seats.

0000000000000000000000000000

Harry spent the first half hour of the game jumping from shadow to shadow throughout the camping grounds, only really stopping long enough to let Kingsley know that he was allowed to change back and forth at will now. His mentor gave a nod at this information and sent him off on patrol again, a smile on his face at the energy that Harry had now.

Something Harry did not long after talking with Kingsley, the fact that he could still talk like normal in both forms now not really crossing his mind, was go into the Shadow Plain and see what Zarra had to say as the little Shadow Mephit had taken a liking to him and as such would give him all sorts of information that she could find through the means that the Shadow Plain's higher denizens observe the normal plain.

When Harry came back out of the Shadow Plain a few minutes later, he found, to his surprise, Zarra sitting on his shoulders, even when he changed back to being human; the little Mephit just started to play with his hair and wave at any wizard or witch that walked past.

At first Harry tried asking her why she was still with him in the normal plain, as he thought she didn't like it here; he also recognized the fact that she wasn't in the list of known creatures in the Ministry of Magic. In fact, all Mephit, no matter their element, were in the file.

He was just about to try and change back to his wolf Animagus form and go back to the Shadow Plain to see if this time Zarra would stay put, when Amelia walked up to him. He made a note that her fingers where stained with ink still, clearly showing that she had come right from her office and hadn't even taken time to clear herself up fully.

"Trainee Potter, why on earth do you have that thing on your shoulder? Also, I would have thought that you would be at the stadium with just about everyone else." Amelia said, pointing a single finger at Zarra. The little Mephit gave a little huff and crossed her arms under her breasts pushing them up a little as if to say that she wasn't a thing, but a she.

"Ah…" Harry trailed off for a moment before he gave a sigh, reached up and took Zarra from his shoulder, holding out the little elemental to Amelia as he said softly, "This is Zarra, she's a Mephit from the Shadow Plain that has taken a liking to me and doesn't want to leave my side now, from what I can tell, as it's hard to understand her with human ears. Also, I think she would like it if you didn't call her an it."

Amelia blinked once, then again before leaning forward, bringing a single finger up and poking Zarra in the forehead, saying to her with a smile as the Mephit fell backwards a little at the light poke, "I'll call you by your name and such when you prove to be more than just a pretty face." Zarra made a face at her words while she brought a tiny hand up to rub were Amelia had poked her.

Harry chose not to make a comment on his boss's words and just said while bringing the Mephit back to his shoulder, "As to why I'm not at the match, Madam, it's because I have found Quidditch to be rather boring, as it's too fast paced for my tastes."

"The thrill of the slow hunt still calls to you I take it then, Trainee." Amelia said, moving to head towards the stadium, only just catching Harry's nod as he moved out of her way. Zarra hopped up and down on his shoulder, her mist-like wings helping her up to sit on his head now.

"I can't help my nature Madam, but I'm working on it." Harry said, trying not to move his head while also trying to look up and see Zarra sitting there. The grey skinned being leaned forward and hung off the bangs of his hair, giving a little smile and even a light kiss on his forehead right on the scar before sitting back up and pulling on his hair as if to try and guide him like a horse.

"I'm not complaining about that, Trainee, as I can think of a few other things that young men your age seem to think about that you don't seem to, or at least you don't seem to carry it on your sleeve like they do, " Amelia paused for a moment at the sight of Harry trying to get Zarra off his head with just one hand, the little Mephit using her wings of smoke and shadows to bat away his hand making her laugh a little, "Might pay to go to the department of Magical Creatures after the cup, Harry, and register her as a familiar or something like that if she chooses to hang around you like this now."

Harry just nodded his head as he moved on. Amelia gave a small laugh as Zarra started to try and move his hair enough to make a nest; Harry just rolled his eyes and shook his head, giving a laugh at the startled squeak from Zarra.

Most of the afternoon passed without a problem for Harry after meeting up with Amelia, only having to arrest one wizard for stealing; the rest of his time he spent trying to get Zarra out of his hair or just talking with some of his co-workers.

Everyone knew the match was over at around sundown when there was a loud cheer and a chant of Ireland sounded from the stadium even with the charms and such to stop most sound from escaping. Harry just gave a nod to his newfound friends, and started for the stadium wanting to meet up with Tonks before she got lost in the crowd.

He didn't pay any mind to the few comments he heard about Zarra as he moved towards the bright pink hair that he would know anywhere. Harry leaned his head down to rest on Tonks' shoulder when he got even with her. She jumped a good few inches into the air when he asked calmly, "So was the match a close one?"

"Damn it all Harry, don't do that!" Tonks snapped off, turning around sharply to look at Harry with narrowed eyes, said eyes opening wide at the sight of Zarra leaning forward on top of Harry's head, the little Mephit hanging from two little handfuls of hair to stop from falling off his head.

"What's with the Shadow Mephit dear? I thought they didn't like to spent long periods of time in our realm?" Tonks asked after a few moments to get over the surprise of seeing Zarra in this realm as she had only even seen the Mephit a few times in the past whenever she went with Harry for information hunts in the Shadow Plain.

"I don't know what's with her; she seems to have decided to attach herself to my head." Harry said with a sigh, tilting his head back and forcing Zarra off and onto his shoulder; the Mephit gave him an angry look at being moved from her warm nest and even started to scold him in her native tongue, the others reckoned, going by the angry tone.

"Looks to me Mr. Potter, you now have two women to keep you in line and not just one." Minerva said with a laugh at the little Mephit, bringing a hand up and lightly patting Zarra on the head. The little Mephit gave a purring like sound at the soft touch.

Tonks couldn't help but giggle at the growl from Harry as he lead the small group towards Minerva's and Hooch's tent. Tonks reached out after a few minutes to gently lifting Zarra from Harry's shoulder and placed her on her own shoulder.

"You sit there, Zarra, and we'll plot how to keep him on his toes later." She whispered to the Zarra who just nodded while giving Harry the evil eye.

The group ended up spending the next few hours enjoying the rather large party to celebrate Ireland's win. Minerva, after a few minutes of enjoying drinks with her new found friends, waved her wand and conjured up a set of dolls cloths that would fit Zarra, saying that the little Mephit had to put those on as she refused to be around a naked little woman any longer.

Tonks and Harry had to admit that Zarra looked good in her simple dark blue leather vest and pants as she had refused the first few items of clothing that Minerva had conjured up. The leather vest basically being the front and around the middle of her back and base of her neck leaving the back open allowing her wings full movement the pants being cut up both legs and stitched together so that it showed her very sharply legs.

Zarra had just started to settle down on Harry's shoulder after modelling her new outfit when there was a scream of both pain and fear as people around the group started to run away towards the forest and stadium.

Both Trainee Aurors jumped up, wands at the ready as they managed to hear over the screams and such that some rogue Death Eaters had started to burn a number of tents and torture people. They both just looked at each other for a moment before running towards the terrorists, Zarra flying just above their heads wanting to help.

It only took a few minutes to get to where the Death Eaters were causing trouble, the dozen strong team was laughing loudly as they burned or tortured whatever got in their way. A number of Aurors were starting to surround the terrorists, but they didn't seem to be able to keep any of the Death Eaters down as their comrades kept on casting the counter spells to anything the Auror's threw at them.

Harry only took a moment to look over how everything was going at the moment before jumping down into a drainage ditch, Tonks only a few seconds behind him. The sight of Kingsley giving them both a slight nod of the head as they landed next to him was the first thing they saw; both of them ducked their heads that little extra when the green light of the killing curses come in a moment later.

"I was starting to wonder were the backup was; near as I can tell, nearly all of the corps here is either drunk or helping get the civilians out of here leaving just the six of us, now counting you two, to take on this lot."

"I'll be having words with those who got drunk on duty later on, now report." Amelia's voice came next as the older witch jumped down next to the group, a half dozen spells being fired off into the Death Eaters only to see some of their comrades revive or undo any jinx damage she had cursed coming in.

"We have a dozen drunken Death Eaters, they are sober enough, though, to know what they are aiming at and keep each other awake and active in this fight, we also only have a total of seven Auror's here dealing with the problem counting you madam." Kingsley said poking his head up long enough to fire off a few spells and ducking back down just as quickly as two Avadas slammed into the ground where his head had been a moment ago.

"Also Madam it looks like level three combat isn't going to work as they keep on reviving anyone we take down," Harry said poking his head up enough to see the few Death Eaters Kingsley had taken down get back up thanks to their friends.

"You just want me to say level two combat so that you would be allowed to us that Muggle gun of yours." Amelia said with a smile as Harry just smiled back at her left hand down to his left hip coming up a moment later with a largish Muggle handgun the words 'The Hunt Begins' engraved along the side facing his superiors the holster being invisible to everyone until the gun was drawn.

"I wouldn't say no to the thrill of the hunt Madam Bones, it's been a while for me after all." Harry said, holly wand in one hand the gun in the other.

"You'd better well temper your blood lust, Trainee, and use level three spells until I say otherwise." Amelia said, giving a nod to Tonks. Both of them jumped up a moment later firing off a few spells before ducking down. Harry and Kingsley went up just as they started to go down between them they took out half of the Death Eaters. the other Aurors around the site did their best, but the defences of the enemy was proving to be a problem from their angles.

Looking over the edge after the return barrage of spells Amelia cursed as three of their down targets were already back up and helping get their friends back on their feet the other half dozen keeping the Auror's pinned down and unable to stop them from reviving the others.

"Well, that worked well, didn't it," Tonks said, poking her wand hand out long enough to fire some spells on the Death Eaters just to try and throw them off balance but knowing that it wouldn't do much.

"If you don't have anything positive to say don't say anything Tonks." Amelia snapped thinking over in her head what to do next as this was getting them no were fast.

"In that case madam why not have Harry here pull any of the ones we manage to knock out or tie up into a shadow and dump them somewhere else?" Tonks asked a smile forming on her face at the slightly upset look coming over Amelia's face at the fact that she hadn't thought of that.

"Good thinking Trainee, Harry change forms and start pulling out the ones we take down." Amelia said after a few moments of thought, only waiting a second for Harry to change forms and vanish into a nearby shadow a stunned Death Eater vanishing just as he hit the ground much to the surprise of his comrades.

This carried on for the next three Death Eaters before the remaining ones still in combat started to work their way into another area of the camping grounds firing there spells into every shadow around them now having worked out what the Auror's were doing now.

Tonks was getting ready to make a move into a new angle of fire when a curse hit her in the shoulder as she started to rise from cover, the sudden pain making her scream out in pain falling back and into Kingsley's arms the older Auror quickly pressing down on the bleeding wound trying to slow the bleeding and give him time to cast the counter curse.

Amelia quickly moved to kneel in front of the pair, having waved the other Aurors off to give chase to the now running Death Eaters, her eyes however were locked on the weeping wound moving Kingsley's hand long enough to see what sort of damage had been done her wand coming up a moment later to clear and start to slowly close the wound not wanting to chance setting off any extra effects the spell might have by doing a quick fix.

Kingsley was about to say something to Tonks who was shaking rather badly since, if the spell had been a few inchers lower, she would be dead and this fact had caught up with her quickly; although the older Auror couldn't be prouder of her, as she hadn't started to scream in fear and was just in shock over the injury. His praises at how she was doing, however, died before he could say anything as a howl that promised pain and death sounded out over the screams of fear all around them.

"Merlin damn it all, he's gone and made this a vengeance hunt now." Amelia yelled just knowing that Harry was no longer going to be merely taking out Death Eaters and taking them to a place to wait for the other Aurors to pick up, no now he was going to kill for the simple fact that Tonks his friend, girlfriend and future mate had been injured, nearly killed by these criminals.

Tonks seemed to stare off into the distance for a moment before she looked towards the fighting a scream of pain and fear sounding out just as she looked that way. Amelia stood up and could just make out a Death Eater trying to claw his ways away from his own shadow that was slowing dragging him back into it.

"Get me closer to a large shadow." Tonks says softly trying to get to her feet but the few minutes she had been bleeding from her injury had left her light headed Kingsley only just catching her as she started to stumble. The Death Eater's screams went silent just as Kingsley finished steadying her footing, the man having vanished from sight.

Amelia gave Kingsley a look before moving off to help with the fighting Zarra hovering just above Tonks' head and kept on asking how she was in her native tongue meaning nether of the Aurors understood her.

Getting to a large shadow, Tonks took a deep breath and then shouted into the shadow hoping that Harry would hear her, "Harry, I'm alright, you don't need to do anything else just come back to me!" She nearly fell over again having used up what little energy she had left shouting that into the shadow the sounds of fighting starting to dim in the background.

Zarra having seen what Tonks had just done gave a nod at what the mortals was trying to do and dived into the shadow right in front of the pair, the shadow rippling like it was water for a few seconds before she came flying out just as it finished settling again. Harry in his wolf form came up a moment later a look of relief on his face at the pale but very much alive Tonks.

Tonks waited the few seconds it took for Harry to change back to his human form his arms moving to hold her close not even a few moments later just holding her as he whispered softly into her hair that he thought he had lost her.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily," Tonks said softly, pulling back just enough to look Harry in the eyes asking softly while Kingsley stood watch over the pair. "Did you kill that Death Eater we saw you pull into his shadow or did you do something else?"

Harry shook his head and said softly looking towards were the fighting was at the moment not really paying it any mind now, "No I only made it look like I had to his friends who now seem to be panicked a little don't you think? He's with the others in the holding cells set up here for general thieves and such."

Tonks just nodded at this, pulling him into a tighter hug just as screams of fear and surprise sounded out from where the fighting was; the sight of the killing curse green skull and snake being what greeted them. Tonks' eyes went wide as she held onto Harry that little bit more tightly then before, having heard the stories of what the mark meant.

Harry just looked at the Dark Mark in the sky his eyes narrowing at the anger welling up deep down in his core, this was the mark of the man who killed two members of his pack, his den mother and father, this was the mark of a man who was like a feral dog that needed to be put down and if he had his say he would be the one to do this.

The green light that seemed to wash over the whole camp ground appeared to be the signal to the few Death Eaters still standing as they all vanished, leaving their eight comrades that had been taken down, behind. Amelia just looked at the distraction that had been caused by this attack her thoughts already going to what could be stirring the Death Eaters up and if it was connected with the past few years at Hogwarts.
