Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter in anyway shape or form.

A/N: Hello all and welcome to another chapter of Wolf, I must say it took a bit to get this chapter the way I like it, I hope you all like how everything is done in this chapter. Now I have to say this now so that no one hunts me down and tries to kill me, the next chapter could be a little while as no matter what I try I can't seem to get the next chapter to flow, but I will try to get it out as soon as I am able but it could be a while so sorry in advances.

Also, this is not a Harem fic Harry and Fleur are just good friends as is Tonks and what she said about a possible friends with benefits thing was meant for later on after Fleur gets settle into a job and doesn't meet mister right but who knows what the final chapter/ Epilogue might hold.

Enjoy!

Chapter 23: Rebirth.

Wormtail gave a sigh as he looked at the dark haired Auror trainee now bound in a bubble of light, his hand slowly rising from the control rune that he Master had him carve into the top of a tombstone the light bubble remaining in place for the moment.

"Quickly you fool before those bindings vanish and his free to use his powers." Hissed the small, child like form of Voldemort, his red eyes glowing in the light coming off the bubble containing Harry.

Wormtail nodded and moved to a large black cauldron to one side filling it with water once he got it into place in front of the bound Harry, he dropped Voldemort into the water before starting the chant waving his wand over a grave to one side.

The ground in front of the grave suddenly seemed to crack open as a fine powder came flying out and vanished into the cauldron, "Bones of the Father unknowingly given you well help revive your son." Wormtail muttered to himself more then to do with the spell as it was a chant not a few simple words the mutter was more for him to keep track of where he was in the retrial.

Chanting a few more words Wormtail raised his hand with the missing finger over the cauldron giving a few more words he cut his hand off at the wrest turning his head away as he did, "Flesh of a servant welling given you well help restore your master."

Quickly wrapping the stump of his arm Wormtail moved quickly over to the bound Harry knowing that he only had a few seconds to do what he was about to do, he couldn't get the blood while the young man was bound inside the bubble and if their contacts within the Ministry information was right then Harry would wake up quickly once the light was gone.

Taking a breath to steady himself Wormtail waved his wand at the glowing rune off to one side making it fade away dropping the bubble, Harry dropping to the ground and just laying there for the moment his breathing starting to pick up however and his eyes started to flicker open.

Acting fast Wormtail brought a clean knife up and stabbed Harry in the arm after all his master wanted to duel the young man to prove to his followers that Harry had only gotten lucky when he was a kid and nothing else.

"Blood of the enemy forcible taken you well help restore your foe." He muttered dropping the knife into the cauldron stumbling backwards right after doing this as the whole thing started to bubble and even spill over the sides that and the blood loss from cutting his own hand off was starting to catch up to him.

The thick smoke that started to come flowing out of the cauldron cleared as fast as it came as Voldemort rose up from the liquid that made up the potion that had just helped him regain a full body.

Opening his eyes Voldemort looked around taking in clear vision and able to hear just about anything around him now, raising one hand to look at it he gave a small smile at the long slander fingers flexing them for a moment as if to make sure they were working right.

He was about to ask for his robes from Wormtail when he suddenly heard a slight gasp from just behind him, turning quickly not caring that he was still naked Voldemort's eyes widened at the sight of Harry half standing half kneeing over Wormtail, the cowardly man's head in a head lock with his single hand trying to break the lock, Harry's eyes locking with his.

"He's got a death sentences anyway." Was all Harry said before Voldemort could say anything the young Auror quickly pulling his arms both ways as a loud crack was heard a moment later, Harry getting up from the now dead man.

"Rather cold of you boy, after all he was once your fathers friend." Voldemort says moving slowly to his robes and pulling them on keeping one eye on the young Auror, a slight smile forming on his face as he felt his wand within the robes.

"Oh my father only had two best friends in my books, one Sirius Black and the other is Remus Lupin, this rat was never a friend in my books." Harry says calmly rolling his shoulders and making sure his wand was still on him now.

Voldemort gave a nod at this but went back to looking over his new body; Harry mean while had ripped off his shirt sleeve and was using it as a bandage for the stab wound made by Wormtail.

"Well as you have prevented me from summoning my followers by killing that tool, I'll have to just settle for showing them your body when I go and punish them all for abandoning me in the first place." Voldemort says with a hardness to his voice eyes narrowing as he locked eyes with Harry.

Harry just blinked as he brought his mental shields up to full power silently thankful that he had put a lot of effort into protecting his mind as well as his body, giving a half jump half step to one side to step away from the tombstone he was leaning on Harry got into a duelling crouch silently wishing he had his gun with him at the moment.

"What no words or comments from you Potter, your father I couldn't wait to shut him up, always going on about being able to stop me and how I was a coward all four times I faced him in battle, even right up to his death in the final battle." Voldemort says with a smile hoping to get Harry angry and make a mistake as his spies had said the boy was a lot like his father as such his temper should be the same.

"You are a coward, you have to hide behind your followers until the battle is in your favour and even then you only show when you need to rally the troops so to speak as your followers are just as cowardly as you are." Harry says calmly a smile on his face as he watched the Dark Lord across from him closely.

Voldemort snarled at this, quick a flash he had his wand up and sent a Cruciatus Curse, Harry seeing the mad man go for his wand quickly moved to one side his own wand coming up and a half dozen binding spells going off not long after dodging the nearly invisible curse.

The Dark Lord just flicked his wand as a shield come into being and blocked all of the incoming spells, Harry making a few muttered comments about showing off as he ducked behind a tombstone to avoid a nasty looking cutting curse.

"Oh that one nearly hit me, keep trying and you might just manage to make me break a sweat." Harry called out knowing deep down however that he couldn't keep this up with his current injures and also on a battlefield of Voldemort's choosing.

"You talk big boy but I can see though your words, you're afraid, you know you're going to die here at my hands and there is nothing you can do about it." Voldemort says looking at were Harry was crouching at the moment his red eyes narrowing at the lack of fear showing in the green orbs looking back at him.

Just shaking his head Harry once again started moving keeping his body at an angle so that Voldemort couldn't have a large target to shoot at, his spells however didn't seem to do much as the Dark Wizard was able to block most of them or just step out of the way of others.

"Maybe my spies are wrong, they all said you were like your father but you move and attack a lot like that Mudblood of a mother." Voldemort snarled out when Harry danced around one of his spells and even flicked his wand in passing stopping the slab of rock that he had thrown at the young Auror.

"Coming from you that is a complement, although I think you need your mouth washed out for what you just called my den mother." Harry snapped back changing into his wolf form and attacking with the shadows all around them.

Instead of getting nervous or even fearful like most others did when Harry changed into his wolf form Voldemort just smile as he tapped one of the head stones next to him the whole graveyard being bathed in high noon sunlight just as one of the shadow spears was about to cut into his shoulder.

Harry gave a grunt of pain as he quickly changed back to human to help fight off the effect of sunlight on him ducking and weaving around the new barrage of spells, he managed to fight back a cry of pain when one of Voldemort's bone breakers managed to hit him in the arm with a knife wound already in it.

"Now that is just plan cheating." He muttered to himself quickly moving to duck behind another tombstone firing off a blasting curse into the stone that Voldemort was still standing the light over head going out not long after its power stone being destroyed.

"There is no such words boy, only power and those too weak to seek it." Voldemort snapped off as in his mind what he did by turning the battlefield into as bright as day light was fair and a show that he was more powerful then Harry.

"Then you are a man who will always be alone and die begging for his life." Harry snapped off blasting the tombstone Voldemort had moved next to, a small smile forming on Harry's face as he saw a sudden explosion of magical energy as it was clear now that Voldemort had marked a number of tombstones in this graveyard with that Sunlight dome.

"No I am a man who will rule the world and can never die for I have true power." Voldemort snapped off quickly moving to another tombstone only to have to duck and shield against another wave of attacks from Harry

"Then I'll just have to prove you wrong." Harry says with a smile still in place firing off another couple of blasting curse destroying a number of tombstones all around Voldemort quickly changing into his wolf form not long after the last of the stones had been destroyed.

Voldemort seeing Harry change dived to one side towards the closest tombstone knowing that the boy had the advantage at the moment but only for the time it would take him to get to one of the marked stones he had all throughout the graveyard.

Before he could reach one however Harry managed to drive a shadow spear through the back of his leg the Dark Lord hissing in pain but didn't stop his forward motion tapping the rune just in time to avoid getting attacked again by more shadows.

Harry howled in pain as the artificial sunlight came down all around him again quickly moving backwards and changing back shaking his head to clear the spots before his eyes being thankful that Voldemort had to get his balance back after having that spear in the back of his leg and falling forward to activate the rune.

"This is sad the so called heir to the light side is unable to walk in the light itself." Voldemort says getting back to his feet and keeping his wand on the rune to pump more power into the light that was weakening Harry.

"I am gray not light." Harry snarled out bringing his wand down in a sharp move a half dozen lances of ice coming into being and shooting right at Voldemort and the headstone that was feeding the sunlight ward.

Voldemort quickly moved to one side as he know that only a strong fire spell could melt those lances and also that the spell was considered dark by the Ministry as it targeted whatever the person who cast it thought as such it could hit the head, heart and other vital part with that one spell.

"Dark arts, boy? My I wonder what the Ministry would say if they know you had learned some of those so called forbidden arts." Voldemort gave a small laugh as Harry just gave him the finger, moving to stand more side on now and keeping his weight off his injured leg Voldemort unleashed a barrage of spells at the young Auror who was really starting to get under his skin.

Harry didn't say anything back as he kept on dodging but still took the odd hit, cuts and burses starting to show all over his body but that didn't stop him from destroying the head stones all around him and Voldemort hoping to hit the key stone to the wards that were stopping him from Shadow Travelling out of this mess having tried in the last transformation to get away, that had failed as such he now tried to find out what was blocking him.

Voldemort danced around Harry's return fire making a note of that fact that the young Auror seemed to favour ice and cold based spells the whole graveyard starting to take on a chill that had nothing to do with the night air settling around the pair.

Seeing a chance to try and escape again as this battlefield was too much in the Dark Lords favour, Harry transformed again and tried to escape but once again hit the ward that was stopping him from punching the hole to the Shadow Plain.

Giving a few muttered curses at being blocked still Harry quickly tried to destroy as many headstones as he could before Voldemort managed to activate the bright light again, a howl being the only signal for Voldemort to know what was about to happen as Harry's Shadow lances rose up all around the place as many as he could control all of them smashing into headstones.

Voldemort's eyes narrowed as he saw the one headstone that he didn't want to be destroyed have a single lance drive through the middle of the stone that marked a great Uncle of his the stone falling into pieces a moment after the lance returned back to its normal shadow shape.

"Damn you boy!" Voldemort hissed as he felt the wards that stopped any form of magical travel drop and he was no were near a headstone that had the light rune intact.

"I'll be leaving now my dear Voldemort, and know that I'll be hunting you down when I am at full strength and not in a field of your choosing." Harry says from within the shadow he was in at the moment vanishing completely before the Dark Lord could say anything back.

Voldemort lowered his wand not long after Harry finished talking already knowing that the young Auror had already left and know it was hopeless to try and follow him as he knew that the Shadow Plan was no place for someone even of his power.

He was about to leave when suddenly a pair of deep blue almost black eyes seemed to open up in the darkness of the night sky only moonlight and starlight lighting the area around them but showed that there was no face to go with the eyes, said eyes seemed to just look into his very soul.

"So you managed to cheat death after all little mortal, the question is though how long will it be before you are under my care for your arrogance." A voice said from the darkness the eyes narrowing a little as Voldemort realized that they were reptilian in shape.

It was a few moments later that Voldemort realized he had heard that voice once before back at the start of the last war and his quest for immortality having sought it by summoning something that was rumoured to already be immortal.

"I see you recognize my voice little human but our talk will wait for another time as the one who is providing me with entertainment at the moment is no longer here but don't worry your little mind to much I'll be back to claim your body and soul."

Voldemort just narrowed his eyes at the parting comment as the eyes vanished from sight, they just closed and never opened again was the only sign that he was once again alone, the Dark Lord quickly vanishing before anything else happened knowing that he had to work fast to rebuild everything that had been lost after his last down fall.

Tonks was worried, no that wasn't the right word she was beyond worried and both Fleur and Zarra hadn't been able to calm her, the group was off to one side trying to calm the young Auror down ever since it had been confirmed that Harry was missing.

Amelia looked over at the three off to one side before giving a sigh, she knew she was just as worried as Tonks was at the moment but she had to act the professional commander that she was and know that she had a few things to do once Harry was found hopefully alive.

Albus and the other judges were all off to one side trying to work out what had happened Amelia already knowing that this was what Crunch Jr. had set up before he had been caught back near the start of this whole mess, she knew that all of them had gotten sloppy thinking that he hadn't really done anything like he claimed when they should have checked anyway.

She was about to go and get some extra help in the hunt for Harry when Tonks gave a cry of surprise turning quickly Amelia was greeted by the sight of a slightly blooded and tired Wolf rise up out of Tonks shadow.

Zarra didn't even stay around long enough to watch Harry slowly come free of Tonks shadow as she shot off to get the school nurse as she was the only healer nearby that she knew of, both Tonks and Fleur going to their knees and laying Harry down between them Tonks rubbing him on the back of the head gently while Fleur tried to heal some of the minor wounds.

"Harry you need to change back." Tonks whispered softly kissing him on the forehead, the wolf just giving a huff before Harry took his human form the cuts and other injures showing up even more in his human form as his head fell back into Tonks' lap eyes closing a moment later.

"He's back…" Harry whispered after a few moments of just laying there with his eyes closed, Tonks giving him a questioning look and asking softly who he meant.

"Voldemort has a body." Harry whispered to Tonks, head turning a little as sleep took him Madam Pomfrey showing up just then and started working on Harry's injures.

Tonks just looked a little shocked at the news but shook her head and slowly raised Harry's head about to place a pillow that Poppy had conjured to place his head under him when Fleur moved in and took her place letting Harry's head rest on her thigh.

"Go let your boss know while I watch him, don't worry I'll call you over if he wakes up again." Fleur says softly running her fingers through Harry's hair while looking at the slightly older girl, Tonks only nodding her thanks before leaning down and kissing Harry gently on the lips getting to her feet and moving over to Amelia's side.

"Madam, Trainee Auror Potter stated that Voldemort has a new body now." Tonks stated when Amelia looked at her not once blinking or looking away from the eyes of her commander.

"That's not possible, the boy must be seeing thing or some want to be rising Dark Lord is just using You-Know-Who's reputation." Minister Fudge spoke up before anyone could say anything to Tonks little report.

"Silence Minster, I will hand in a full report and providing all evidences and other information to you once I debrief Trainee Potter then you can decide whether or not his telling the truth." Amelia snapped back at Fudge making the Minster back down at the fire to enter her eyes as there was one thing he knew about Amelia and that was that she was very protective of her Auror's reputations and lives.

On seeing that Fudge was backing down Amelia looked back at Tonks and says calmly. "Take him to the Hospital wing once Poppy gives the all clear to move him, no one is to come near Harry until I have debriefed him."

Tonks nods at the order and quickly goes back to Harry's side, the small group leaving not long after that when Poppy gave the all clear to move out, Amelia watching everything that was happening before looking over at Albus and the other Headmasters taking a breath before starting to bark out orders and get everything organized so that she could go and find out what happened to Harry.

A couple of hours later Harry woke up in the Hospital wing mostly healed up and waiting for an all clear from Madam Pomfrey, sitting up slowly the young man gave a sigh as he looked around a small smile forming on his face at the sight of Tonks and Fleur seating on either side of his bed both with their heads bowed a little having fallen asleep waiting for him to wake up.

"Nice timing." Amelia says as she walked into the room a file in hand that Harry knew would soon have a full report on what happened to him once he touched that Port-key. "I would ask how you're feeling and doing but I can see that you could do with a few more hours sleep and maybe a few pain relief potions going by the winces of pain."

Harry gave a smile at this and just nods sitting up enough to lean against the headboard of the bed, Tonks and Fleur both sitting up when they realized he was awake when they had opened their eyes at the sound of talking.

"How you feeling dear?" Tonks asks leaning forward and taking Harry's hand in hers Fleur just giving a small smile and a questioning look on how he was feeling not wanting to get in the way between the two, she knew that she was second to Tonks in Harry's mind set and as such let her take the lead.

"I should be fine by morning, I feel fine now but I know better than to say that with a healer within ear shoot." Harry says with a small smile pulling Tonks closer to give her a quick kiss.

Everyone gave a small laugh at this before Amelia sat down across from Harry and gave a sad smile, the file coming up to rest in her lap better and a quill coming up a moment later the look on her face clearly stating that it was time for the report and not to spare any detail.

An hour later finished his report with a final comment that the Dark Lord knew too much about his powers as such there had to be a spy in the Auror Corps or Ministry who knew of his skills and hadn't given up on his master being dead.

"I agree with your final comment Harry and as such I'm going to try and at last get the Auror Corps cleaned up, that is if our dear Minister doesn't try and bury this." Amelia says looking over the report narrowing her eyes a little at some of the spells Harry had been able to name being fired at him and he had fired off himself.

"If you like madam I'll do whatever you need to either prove this or hold it back until we are already to remove our current Minister." Harry says leaning into Tonks with a small smile at how she seemed to snuggle closer to him.

Amelia thought on what Harry said for a moment before saying to Harry while also getting to her feet, "For now keep your mouth shut on this Harry, Fudge and a number of his people have too much control over most of the departments and my voice is being drowned out by them most of the time, then even cut our budget the other month."

Harry gave a nod at this before settling down into his bed Tonks waving her wand to make the bed that little bit larger and laying down next to him while Fleur got to her feet and gave them both a small kiss on the forehead.

"Understood Madam I'll get some rest now and hopefully see you tomorrow morning in the office." Harry says softly letting his eyes slip closed having been drained a lot thanks to Voldemort's magical lights.

"I better see you tomorrow Harry after all I have to pack a few months worth of final training into a couple of weeks, you and Tonks become full Auror's then in case you forgot." Amelia says with a smile moving to leave the room pausing when Fleur asked to speak with her for a moment the pair leaving the room a few moments later talking softly.

Tonks and Harry just snuggled together for a moment nether saying a thing just enjoying being together and alive sleep claiming them both a few moments later. Only Madam Pomfrey saw them like this as she had sealed her Ward and wrapped a blanket around the pair letting them sleep.
