Disclaimer: Once again I don't own Harry Potter in any way shape or form, I do however own this story line and some of the OCs.
A/N: Hello all and welcome to my last post for the year of this story as I always take December off from writing and as such it's that time again, but I'll be back after the new-year with lots of new chapters and hopefully fresh ideas on how to carry on this story.
As always do leave lots of reviews and know that I'll be back in January.
Chapter 19: Yule Ball.
The information that Crouch Jr. was able to provide was of little help as the man had wiped his own mind after setting everything up for his master and was now just hoping that Harry would be the one to set off the trap going by the final bits of information he gave up.
The search of the room turned up just as much information namely none of any use, they did find the real Moody locked in one of the compartments of his trunk and was only able to find out from him that he had been ambushed while taking his trash out a few weeks before the start of school, his two attackers being identified as Crouch Jr. and Wormtail after he showed them the memory of the ambush, this didn't have ever stop them from rubbing it in his face that he failed at his favourite saying Constant Vigilance.
Everything started to settle down however after a few weeks and Harry and Tonks went back to normal work as the mystery of how Harry's name was entered had been solved if only in part until the end of the Tournament.
A week before Christmas found both Harry and Tonks standing before Madam Bones and Kingsley both of them just looking at the pair who were in there normal outfits for work Tonks being a pair of jeans and a Weird Sisters shirt, Harry in his all bar the bottom three buttons being undone on his shirt and dress pants a three quarters length coat thrown on over that.
"We called you both in here to find out if A: are you doing your present give away this year at Hogwarts, and B: to let you know that after the new year you'll both be swapping places so Harry you'll report to me while you Tonks are to report to Kingsley."
Harry looked at Tonks for a moment as she just gave a small smile up at him and nods, Harry looking back at their bosses and says leaning back a little on the balls of his feet Amelia not helping but think of a predator waiting to pounce, "Madam, both Tonks and I were planning on doing a present drop this year being mostly a new robe or day planner, maybe a few basic Auror manuals for those we think might make it into the corps."
Amelia gave a nod at this and pushes a list across the table to the pair the list being that of students at Hogwarts at the moment that she would like in her forces when they left the look in her eyes clearly stating that she approved of their plan.
Tonks looked over the list making a note that Susan was on it as was Hermione as well as a few of the Gryffindor Quidditch team members at the moment, namely the chaser trio. "Those three might not want to be in this line of work madam but we'll pass on the basic manuals and such on to them this year," Tonks paused here for a moment and then looked over the list again not helping but laugh a little as she looks at her boss. "You want to even the sexes in the ranks madam as I can clearly see that three quarters of the names are girls at the school at the moment."
Amelia gave a nod at this leaning backwards into her chair as she says looking at the pair before her, "Did you know Tonks that besides you and me there is only twenty other Witches in the Auror Corps, the rest are all Wizards meaning we are outnumbered at odds of ten to one, of those twenty witches three are on maternity leave and two more are on their Honeymoon, I am tired of being in a male dominated corps and as such before I retire or am promoted I want to try and even the ranks a little gender wise."
Tonks gave a nod at this as did Harry both taking a moment to look over the list making a note that Amelia must be a mind reader for most of the names as they had planned on planting the seed for joining the corps in their minds Hermione having been done the other year and the girl had been in touch with them a number of times wanting to know more about getting into the Corps.
"You two are dismissed and don't have to report in until the new year, go enjoy the ball and just relax I know for a fact that you both haven't planned for your wedding so maybe that could be something you can do over the next few weeks." Amelia says giving a dismissing wave, both nodding back and quickly leaving the room Harry transforming mid step and taking Tonks with him when he vanished.
"Those two are going to be quite the team in a few years time, the question is though how long before she is on maternity leave?" Kingsley says calmly leaning against the door after moving around to stand facing Amelia.
"Oh that is going to be a few years I reckon, as they haven't even started on working out a date for the wedding let alone working out when they want children… although it could be interesting to see if Harry refers to his own kids as children or pups."
Kingsley started to laugh at this while turning to leave the room already working out in his head what he had to do about Tonks' training in a few weeks time, Amelia also gave a small laugh wincing slightly a moment later however when the scream of Harry's egg reached her ears.
"Zarra I told you not to open that thing in any shadow or location within the Ministry building!" Amelia yelled out a little giggle being her only return answer while Kingsley was laughing even harder.
Christmas morning dawned bright and clear a week later, Albus sitting back in his seat within the Great Hall talking with Minerva and their two visiting Headmasters when breakfast rolled around. Albus stopped mid comment about the security of the school when the doors opened.
His eyebrows shot into his hair line for a moment when the sight of Tonks in her Christmas outfit walked into the room, this year the main colour was a dark green that seemed to have a slight shine to it at some angles of the light, her knee high black boots making a slight clicking sound as she moved to enter the room.
It was the sight of Harry only a few steps behind Tonks that had Albus nearly laughing out loud as the young Auror looked like he would rather be fighting an army then in the Santa outfit that Tonks must of bullied him into.
He was in a three quarters length great coat in a deep Santa red and white fluffy fur trim with a large thick black belt around the middle, the young man choosing however not to stuff his coat and such, as such he still looked his normal slender self. Every step showed that he had been either forced or talked into wearing heavy black boots with a white fur trim on them, the pants like the coat was a deep red and were slightly baggy finishing the outfit as the coat was buttoned up tight stopping anyone from seeing what he had on under it.
Both of them had a large bright red sack over one shoulder as Tonks was humming a little Christmas tune while walking up to Albus looking around once she was even with the head table looking back at the aged headmaster and just started tapping her foot.
Albus just nodded at the look Tonks was giving him, his wand came up and just as the first students entered the room two large chairs appeared off to one side, Tonks giving a nod of thanks and moving to one while Harry moved to the other.
"Albus what is with those two and those outfits? No shame what so ever." Madam Maxime asks her nose going up in the air offended by Tonks' choice of cloths after all any woman who showed that much skin had to be some sort of Scarlet Woman in her books.
Albus looked at Maxime with a smile before saying to her calmly turning back to watch Tonks get conformable in her seat sack of goodies being opened up next to her as she started to sort out the gifts to be given away this year, "Why my dear Hogwarts has in the last few years has had a little Mrs. Santa visiting the school at this time and giving away gifts to everyone in the spirit of the season."
"Now Albus don't go giving away all of our secrets, and reasons for doing something, Harry and I just enjoy doing this is all." Tonks says with a smile up at the head table reaching into her sack and coming up with a couple of pairs of socks with a Christmas print on them for Albus throwing them to the aged Headmaster, Albus catching them with ease and nodding his thanks for yet another pair of socks.
Before anyone else could say anything Hermione walked in with a few of her friends the smile on her face growing at the sight of Harry and Tonks quickly moving to them and even giving Tonks a quick hug which the older woman returned with a smile and slight pat on the cheek.
"How's our little bookworm doing this fine Christmas day?" Tonks asks with a smile leaning back in her seat, Hermione taking a step back to be able to look Tonks' outfit over for this year the smile not leaving her face as she knew that Tonks only called her Bookworm because she never made it sound like a insult unlike many others who called her that.
"I'm good and I have to say I'm surprised to see you here this year in your outfit as I thought you would be busy getting ready for tonight." She says after nodding her thanks for the present Tonks gave her while they were talking.
"Oh I'll head off at around noon or so to go get ready and Harry here shouldn't take long given the fact that his just going to change his cloths so no need to worry about tonight, we are going to cut up the dance floor with the extra lessons we've been getting from Xuthra over the last few weeks." Tonks says with a dismissing wave to Hermione's worries about that night asking softy as an afterthought. "So who are you going with?"
Hermione just gave a small smile and turned away saying as she goes, "I'm not going with anyone but I do hope for a dance from your fiancé at some point tonight."
Tonks gave a small smile and nod of the head before turning to look at the small line of people starting to form a line before both her and Harry.
Most of the morning passed in this manner Tonks every now and then looking at her watch but just smiled after doing this and went back to giving out presents making sure to give the Auror manuals to the people on Amelia's list.
Fleur had looked on at the line of Hogwarts students that had been going over to her fellow champion and his fiancé bitting her lip for a moment before to the surprise of her classmates got to her feet and moved towards Tonks not wanting to upset the Metamorphmagus by approaching Harry.
Tonks looked at Fleur for a moment before smiling and reaching into her sack that looked like it hadn't changed at all despite the fact that she had been giving away presents to over half of the students within the Great Hall.
"I have to say I'm surprised it took you this long to step forward for a present as we had something picked out for you the moment we learned you are a Veela, I hope you like it." Tonks says with a smile handing over a small jewellery box.
Fleur first looked at the box before looking over at Harry who just gave a nod of the head before handing a third year her present, Fleur next looked at Tonks who just smiled and nodded her head Fleur getting the message and opening up the present the sight of a simple gold bracelet being what greeted her a single lock like charm being all that was on it.
"That will block your Veela charm as we both have noticed that you don't seem to like the attention your charm brings you, as long as that charm is on your wrist you'll never have to worry about the charm again." Tonks explained seeing the slightly confused look on Fleur's face at the bracelet.
The Quarter Veela looked at Tonks for a moment in surprise before quickly slipping the bracelet over her wrist the boys who had been looking at her with goo-goo eyes shaking their heads a moment later as her charm was blocked by the enchanted jewellery.
"Thank you so much for this gift, if you need anything at all just ask and I'll do everything in my power to repay you." Fleur says bringing her arm up to look at the charm hanging from her new bracelet.
"A single dance with my fellow champion is all I can think of as a repayment that is if Tonks is willing to let me dance with someone else save Hermione and herself." Harry says softly giving another small smile to another student as he handed out more presents.
Tonks just laughed at Harry reaching over to mess up his hair even more while saying with a smile, "Your dance card is getting pretty full Shadow Fang, you have me, Hermione, Susan, Hannah and now Fleur, I have to say no more as I want more than one dance with you and one of those dances better be a lot more than a Waltz."
"Hmm been a while sense you called me that and yes I have to agree my card is getting full, maybe one maximum of two dances for all the other girls and you get me the rest of the night." Harry says his head pushing up into Tonks' fingers when she started to scratch his scalp.
A number of the girls gave a small giggling sound at how Harry was acting at the moment but quickly went silent when Harry's head snapped up and looked at them, Tonks nearly falling over laughing as she made a comment between fits of laughter about how he had given into his wolf side again with how he was acting just then.
Harry gave a snort at Tonks comment and just sighed looking at the line of students that now included the visiting students and sighed again calling out for the next person to step forward, Tonks calmed down a moment later and also called someone forward, the pair knowing that they had a long morning a head of them but also couldn't help but smile at the happy looks on some of the younger students faces.
Later that evening not long before the Ball, Tonks was looking at herself in the mirror while finishing her makeup, the dress she had picked out for this night was what her mother called the Little Black Dress that every single woman round the world should have and only really wear once or twice in their life.
The glittering black silk dress only went down a few inches of her thigh showing well toned and very long legs, the back low cut and only stopping at the small of her back while the front was also low cut and showed a lot of cleavage the front silk also having specially charms and such on it so that she didn't need to worry about support for the twins.
Leaning back after finishing her lipstick up Tonks gave a small smile at her rich black hair that was held back by a number of carefully placed pins and such her skin was also the same pale shade that was a marking of the Black family her eyes being the only change she had made with her power, the shade being that of a deep blue.
Getting to her feet and making sure she had no rips or tears in her stockings Tonks walked over to the box on her bed opening up showing a pair of two or so inch heel jet black ballroom shoes that she had been dreading putting on as she had to admit they looked good but were murder on her heels in the morning.
"There's an angel before me… or maybe a devil when she wants to be one." Harry says from one side looking at Tonks as she finished putting on her shoes standing up slowly taking a few steps to make sure she wouldn't have too much trouble balancing.
"I'm only a devil when it comes to the bedroom dear now hand me that shawl and we'll be on our way your other dance partners await." Tonks says softly moving to stand before Harry as he handed her the length of silk Tonks pausing to look her partner over giving a nod at his choose of cloths.
Harry was in a long sleaved white shirt with the top three or so buttons undone a black sport coat thrown over the top of the shirt helping hide a little of the well toned and lightly muscled chest, he was in a pair of dress pants with matching shoes Tonks could not help but pout a little as men had it easy on getting ready for this sort of event.
Harry's hair was tied back in its normal tail and he looked like he had really shaved this time around as there was no traces of a beard forming, the headband still in place however to help hide the scar and keep some locks of hair out of his face.
"Ah but I can't say you're my devil in the sack, now shall we go stun everyone with our skill on the dance floor and also I can't wait to see how the other champions are going to handle seeing me with the hottest girl in the school on my arm." Harry says taking Tonks offered arm and leading the way out of there room and down to the Great Hall.
Entering the main hall Harry and Tonks both paused to look over the couples and other students starting to enter the Great Hall, the couple being waved over to the other champions by Minerva after a few moments of them looking around the pair only just seeing Hermione with Susan and Hannah just entering the hall in there dress robes.
Cedric looked up from talking with Cho when Harry walked over to them his eyes not helping but go to Tonks long legs as the dress robes that most of the girls were wearing hid a lot while Tonks was showing for everyone that she was what the Muggles called 'All Woman'.
Fleur just looked at the couple for a moment before giving a smile in greeting and nod of the head turning back to look at her date who seemed to be a little disappointed about his choice of date now as Fleur still had the bracelet on and as such he wasn't under her charm any more. Giving a sigh Fleur reached out and took a hold of his ear and forced his head back onto her the narrowing of her eyes being all the warning he needed to behave.
Viktor just took one look at them before giving a grunt and turning back to his date like Fleur his date was one of his fans as he had asked the brown haired Gryffindor out but she had turned him down as such he had to settle for one of his fans said fan just glaring at Tonks for her choice of dress as it was taking Krum's attention off her.
Minerva just smiled at the couple and even pulled Tonks into a quick little hug as she had become something of an Aunt to the couple after the years of helping them with their powers, she looked over Harry for a moment before nodding in approval and then turning to face the group giving a small cough to make sure they were all paying attention to her.
"Right then, first I would like to say that you ladies are all lovely and you gentleman do look good." She paused here for a moment looking over everyone giving a small smile as she started to walk by them. "You'll be called in, in a few moments and do remember that you are representing your school and the finest the Wizarding world has to offer."
Harry looked over everyone for a moment after Minerva had left them to check and see if the others were ready for the champions entrances, moving to lean against the wall he wrapped his arms around Tonks middle when she moved to lean against him, a small smile forming on both their faces as she turned her head enough to give a quick kiss.
"I have a question dear and please don't take it the wrong way but what are you wearing under that dress as some of the moves in the dances you want to do later on might... show, I think is the word I'm after." Harry whispers to Tonks so as not to alert the other champions and there dates about what they were talking about.
Tonks just looked at Harry for a moment before giving a smile and leaning up again to kiss him whispering in his ear as she does. "Shadowing charms are great in that regards dear and even then it's only a black pair of sports bottoms so don't worry only you get to see the sexy stuff."
Harry gave a nod at this but before he could say anything Zarra appeared with a happy little giggle calling out for all to hear not seeming to care that she was in one of her dominatrix outfits this night, "I solved it, I solved the egg!"
All of the champions looked right at Zarra on her entering comment Fleur and Viktor both taking a step towards the Mephit but stopped when Harry reached up and let his Familiar land on his hand bringing her down to his shoulder.
"Zarra did you forget that tonight was the Yule Ball?" Harry asks calmly looking at the full leather outfit that Zarra was in the corset and knee high boots only adding to her dominatrix look she even had a whip hanging from one hip.
Zarra looked down at her cloths for a moment before shrugging her shoulders and saying with a smile, "Nothing wrong with this outfit for a get together and don't you want to hear what the egg was saying Master?"
"Later on Zarra and don't call me master," Harry says turning towards the main door in time to see Minerva came back through and wave them forward Harry moving to the back of the line with Tonks by his side, Zarra remaining seated on his shoulder.
"We are ready for you now and do remember to be on your best behaviour all of you." Minerva says to the group stepping back towards the door opening them wide just as Albus announced to the students gathered the arrival of the champions.
The cheers and applause that greeted the group of eight was something that Harry thought he could do without but still smiled to some of the students he knew and even gave a little wave to some, Tonks doing much the same but also keeping one of his arms hugged close to her body giving a look to a number of the girls in the room that clearly said he was hers.
Getting to their table Harry took a moment to pull Tonks chair out and seat her with a small bow which Tonks only returned with a small nod of the head taking up the menu, Harry taking a seat next to her while the other champions and there dates followed his example all of them looking over the menu once seated.
The conversation around the table was light and rather carefree as everyone took a few moments to get to know each other over their meals, Harry being the least outspoken of the group seeming to be quite happy to eat his medium rare to almost blue steak.
"I thought we sorted out your eating of nearly rare meat Harry." Tonks says after a few moments of silence passed over the group, her wineglass paused mid way to her lips as she gave a small smile at her fiancé.
"We have but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the odd bit of red meat still bleeding and all that other gamey goodness." Harry says raising his fork with another red chunk of meat that was still very red.
"Couldn't you have timed it for another meal then dear?" Tonks asks putting her glass down and just poking at her salad with a small smile to him.
"Probably but I'm not going to hide my nature from anyone dear, so I'm afraid you're just going to have to live with it." Harry says back taking up his own wineglass and taking a sip of the fine red within.
Fleur who was sitting on Tonks other side couldn't help but give a small laugh at the upset look on Tonks face at Harry's comment about his meal but quickly set her face into a neutral look when Tonks looked at her sharply however.
Everyone seemed to settle down after this Harry only just finishing his glass of wine when Albus got to his feet and gave a small clap to get everyone's attention, "First I would like to wish everyone here had a merry Christmas, but now it is time for our champions to lead us with the opening dance."
With a quick few waves of wands from the staff the middle of the hall was cleared of tables and such and a stage was set up, Tonks starting bounce in her seat when she saw the Wired Sisters came out and onto the stage, Harry rolling his eyes at her and whispered that they would see about getting some autographs later that night just knowing how much she loved that band.
Getting to his feet Harry turned to Tonks and offered his hand saying with a slight bow to her, "May I have this dance milady?"
"Trying to charm me is not going to get you into my knickers as I said that first night, sex after we get married not before, heavy petting before is ok though, now I will take that dance my good sir." Tonks says with a laugh at the light blush on Harry's face at her comment but gently pulled her to her feet and leading the way onto the dance floor where the other champions were waiting.
Turning to face Tonks once the pair was on the floor Harry gave a small smile and placed his hand on her hip and then offered the other one Tonks smiling back as she whispers softly to him taking up his hand, "Let's put those lessens to good use and show this lot how a real dance is done."
"Tango?"
"One of many I plan on showing them this night if we have the time."
"Oh I can hardly wait." Harry muttered into her hair as the music started the pair leading the other champions through the dances as it was clear to everyone that Harry and Tonks were pros compared to the other champions.
Harry moved with a grace that not many had seen in a young man his age Tonks moving flawlessly with every step he made, one only needed to look at the pair to know that they knew each other's mind and body so well that they could move in perfect sync with each other.
Ablus gave a slight nod at the champions as they danced all of them seemed to have at least taken the time to learn the basics of dancing, there was no toes being stepped on. He did look up from the dance floor however when he felt the small weight of Zarra landing on his head the little Mephit giving a small smile down at him after hanging off the few bangs of his hair even going so far as to kiss him on the nose in greeting.
"Well hello to you too Zarra and Merry Christmas." Albus says bringing a hand up and waiting for a moment as she Shadow Mephit jumped onto his hand and just looked at him with a small smile as he brought his hand down to look at her.
"Merry Christmas, Grandpa long-beard." Zarra says swinging her legs back and forth to lightly hit Albus' palm as he just raised an eyebrow at the name she had given him.
Albus blinked a few times at the name Zarra had given him before shaking his head and moving his hand so that Zarra could jump onto his shoulder his eyes remaining out on the dance floor however watching as Harry walked over to the band and signalled for one of them to lean down so he could talk to her.
"You wouldn't happen to know what those two are planning for tonight's dances later on do you Zarra?" Albus asks as he watched the lead singer give a nod and moved back to her place on the stage Harry moving back towards the dance floor this time with Susan on his arm.
"No nothing, not a thing, not a clue, I know nothing." Zarra listed off in one breath still kicking her legs back and forth while sitting on Albus' shoulder the headmaster just shaking his head at the little lady as he liked to think of her as she moved around and greeted anyone who paused to talk with him.
Harry spent the next few hours dancing with different partners first Susan and then had only just passed the strawberry blond haired girl on to another partner when Hannah slipped into her friend's place Harry just smiling at the dirty blond haired girl Hannah being replaced after that by Hermione.
"Well how are you enjoying yourself this evening Miss Granger?" Harry asks as the pair moved with ease around the other dancing couples and friends a small smile forming on Hermione's face at how Harry lead her without a problem around the groups.
"I'm having a wonderful time and me and a few of the other girls without dates plan on getting together in the Hufflepuff common room and trade gossip and other such girly things that you wouldn't be interested in." Hermione says with a smile Harry only smiling back and shaking his head muttering about not hearing that and that he hoped no alcohol was involved
Hermione just giggled at Harry while they continued to dance a few moments later he passed her on to one of the Ravenclaw boys quickly moving from the dance floor to get a drink and before Fleur or anyone else decided to get a dance in with him.
Tonks greeted Harry with a glass of wine that had been reserved for the adults at the ball a small smile on her face as Harry fell into a chair and just leaned back taking a few sips of his wine watching everyone else within the hall at the moment making a note of Fleur working her way towards them.
Seeing the quarter Veela approach the pair Tonks gave a small smile of greeting, Fleur giving a returning smile before looking at Harry and raising an eyebrow before asking softly giving a slight curtsey to him. "Would the Lord Potter care to dance or would he rather catch his breath a few minutes longer?"
"If you are willing to wait a few minutes longer Lady Delacour I would be happy to lead you though a dances, until then why don't you have a seat and enjoy a glass of this rather fine wine." Harry says calmly indicating to one of the chairs at the table.
Fleur gave a nod at this and took the offered chair and even the glass of wine that Tonks summoned over to them the three of them just watching the dancing couples and teachers, a small laugh escaping them all at Albus being pulled long by his beard by Zarra who wanted to dance with him, given the fact that she was only about a foot tall it made it very interesting for the Headmaster.
Harry after a few moments looking over the dance floor finished up his drink turning to face Fleur and offer a hand after watching the young woman for a moment he could not help but think that she looked rather lovely in her dress robes but didn't seem to hold a candle to Tonks in his mind, "I'm ready for that dance if you are Lady Delacour."
Fleur took a few moments to finish up her drink before getting to her feet and taking Harry's offered hand, Tonks watched the pair as they moved onto the dance floor and started a slow dance the pair talking about life in general and what Fleur planned on doing after she finished her schooling.
About twenty minutes later Harry moved off the dance floor with a laughing Fleur who gave him a quick little peck on the cheek in thanks for the dances before moving off to talk with some of her classmates and her new friends she was making with the Hogwarts Students.
Tonks walked up to Harry a few moments later a small smile on her face as she moved with an extra swing in her step that had a large number of boys and a even a few of the girls looking at her with a little lust.
"Shall we dance?" Was all she asked with a small smile offering a hand which Harry took with a grin, taking a moment to remove his coat before nodding his head towards the stage the band closing their current song before nodding back to Harry and Tonks everyone looking up at the Wired Sisters when they didn't start another song.
Raising one hand Harry gave his wand a quick flick as the candle light went lower causing shadows and fingers of light to play over the students and the walls everyone seeming to get the message and move off the dance floor leaving the pair standing there Tonks taking a half step back away from Harry yet keeping one hand on his shoulder.
The music that started to play had Hermione smiling as she leaned in close to Padma and Susan who had moved to stand near when the lights had dimmed, "There about to do the dance of love or passion as some call it but most people call it the Tango or that is what the music sounds like."
Everyone within the great hall watched as the two Aurors started to dance many of them looking on in shock at how flexible Tonks was as Harry lead and guided her through the dances.
A number of the younger more hormonal driven boys however gave a moan of disappointment when Tonks kicked a leg up and hocked it over Harry's shoulder, the moans being for the fact that they couldn't see under her skirt thanks to the shadowing charm she had cast earlier.
The couple kept up the fast pace and daring moves as Tonks moved at angles that most would think impossible, her body never seemed to move more than an arm's length away from Harry who seemed to have the easy job of this dance but he did move with grace and ease that had the crowed clapping to the beat and cheering the couple on.
Harry at one point took a hold of Tonks middle and then with ease lifted her up and seemed to lay her over one shoulder Tonks keeping her legs and arms straight and leaned back a smile on her face as Harry turned on the spot, he finished with a sudden stop, Tonks sliding down his back and up between his legs the pair finished the move facing each other Harry sneaking a quick kiss in before Tonks took off into another round of steps.
The pair seemed to show the love for each other with every step of the dance, a number of the people watching them couldn't help but comment on how happy they both looked and that some of them wish they could move like that, although a lot of the younger boys were still complaining about the fact that they couldn't see under Tonks dress.
Many of the people couldn't help but notice that whenever the pair meet after a complete move that Hermione had only seen in professional dance competitions and even then these two seemed to be mixing mean styles of dance into one of their own making, the couple, whenever they met face to face Harry would sneak a kiss.
The music came to a sudden stop after a few more minutes Tonks stretched out over one of Harry's leg one arm around his shoulders to help hold her weight while Harry had one arm around her middle, Tonks had one leg raised up while the other was outstretched, both of them breathing deeply as their eyes locked a smile on both faces.
There was silence for a few moments before people started to cheer and demanded more both Harry and Tonks standing up right and bowing to the crowed turning to face each other and then bow to their partner.
Harry taking Tonks hand and kissing the back of if made a comment to low for everyone save Tonks to hear whatever he said however had Tonks laughing out loud before turning and leading the way off the dance floor and get a drink.
The pair had only just gotten off the dance floor when Hermione, Susan and Hannah reached them Fleur only a few steps behind the girls all of them congratulating the couple on their wonderful dance and asked how long it would take to learn to dance like that.
The couple just looked at each other before giving a laugh and explaining to the girls what they had been put through to learn how to dance and also explain that the lessons were part of their Auror training although it was all volunteer based and that they were the only Aurors taking the lessons at the moment.
After they had answered a few questions about where they had learned to dance and such Harry and Tonks left for a walk around the garden Harry summoning his coat to him as they moved to leave, the couple wanting to see the garden that the Professors had set up around the school the pair wishing everyone a good night and wished them all a happy rest of the ball, a number of people wishing them a good night and a thank you for a wonderful dance performances.
"All in all I have to say that was a great little evening wouldn't you agree Harry?" Tonks comment on leaving the great hall looking over the garden and giving a slight cough when they came across a young couple getting a little too friendly by her books.
Harry watched the younger couple scamper off to the Great hall after being caught a slight laugh escaping him at the embarrassed look on the girl's face before pulling Tonks into a hug and even draping his coat over her shoulders to help ward off the cold.
"Indeed it was a lovely evening but I have to say that the night is young and we do have an empty flat waiting, maybe we could find something else to do before midnight dear Tonks."
Tonks gave a smile and lightly slapped Harry on the arm before taking said arm in hers leading the way towards the main gates and off the school grounds, "You can get some of those thoughts out of your head mister, I plan on being a Maiden on our wedding night but that doesn't mean we can't have some very heavy petting beforehand."
Harry just laughed at this as he transformed into SF the pair vanished a few moments later, target - the warm bed awaiting them back home and a night of exploration, that and the fact that he had gotten her an extra present when he had talked with the band but she could wait until morning to get it.

Lucius Mafloy although he is of a old Pureblood family little is known about his background because of the use of the Mafloy money to hide much of it, there has been rumors and such from back in the first war about his support of Voldemort and his other followers but because his trial was dismissed because of clams of mind control these rumors were never confirmed.
Although a Pureblood Mafloy fails to carry himself the way most should in the modern day system using his money and contacts to scare people rather than try and make changes using his own skills, the man wouldn't last long without his money is a firm belief within all departments within the Ministry but as long as he has the money and the ear of the Minister and other high ranking members he remains untouchable.
