When Tonks entered Harry's room, she stared around in awe. "This is as big as my flat!"

Harry grinned, "My dad is really wealthy. Only the best for him."

Tonks nodded, taking everything in slowly.

Harry pulled his trunk from his closet and started throwing books inside. Tonks helped Loki pull clothing from his dresser when she stopped to look at her reflection in the mirror.

"You know, I don't think purple's really my color," she said pensively, tugging at a lock of spiky hair. "D'you think it makes me look a bit peaky?"

"Uh –" Harry didn't really want to reply to that.

"Yeah, I think it does." She decided and screwed up her eyes in a strained expression. A second later, her hair went from a rich violet to bubble-gum pink.

"How did you do that?" Harry asked.

"I'm a Metamorphmagus" She replied as she examined her hair from every angle. "I can change my appearance at will."

"I did not know there were mortal shape-shifters." Loki said.

"I was born this way. Metamorphagi are very rare." Tonks said. "Are you one too?"

"I am a master shape-shifter" Loki said and shifted into his female form.

Harry's eyes widened as he took in his Papa's new form.

"Wicked, I can do this too." She screwed up her eyes again. This time, a duck bill sprouted from her face.

"Can you not transform into an actual duck?" Loki asked.

"No" Tonks said when the bill disappeared. "I can only change into humans."

Loki looked disappointed, "Then you are not a shape-shifter."

"Is there a difference?" Harry asked.

Loki nodded, "I can transform into any creature be it human or beast. I once transformed into a mare to lure a stallion away so that the Allfather wouldn't have to pay the builder for his work. That is how my eldest Sleipnir was born."

Harry and Tonks gaped openly, "You turned into a horse and then gave birth to one? How is that possible?"

"The only way I could think of to lure Svaðilfari away was to turn into a mare in heat. He chased me throughout the night and when I grew too tired to evade him, he caught me. It was not one of my best plans."

"Papa" Harry frowned.

"I was young and foolish. But I do not regret it. It gave me Sleipnir" Loki smiled softly.

"Will I ever get to meet him? Like I did with Jormungandr?" Harry asked.

"Perhaps. Someday. He is in Asgard now and I am not welcome there." Loki replied.

"So you can change into anything?" Tonks asked after a few moments of silence.

Loki nodded.

"Wicked. You would be a brilliant Auror. I got top marks in Concealment and Disguise during Auror training, just think of what you could do."

"You're an Auror?" Harry asked. He was impressed. Being a Dark wizard catcher was what he wanted to do when he left Hogwarts.

"Yeah" Tonks said, puffing her chest out with pride. "I qualified a year ago. Nearly failed Stealth and Tracking, I'm dead clumsy."

Harry grinned and returned to folding clothes and putting them in his trunk.

"At this rate, we'll be here for hours." Tonks took out her wand, "pack" she cried and waved her wand in broad, sweeping strokes. The remaining clothes and school supplies soared into the air and fell into a pile inside the trunk.

"That's the best you can do?" Loki looked at her with a less than impressed look.

Tonks shrugged sheepishly, "I know it's not the neatest, but at least it's all in!"

Loki rolled his eyes and waved his hand. The things in the trunk rearranged themselves into neat piles.

"Thanks Papa. Will you be staying?" Harry asked.

Loki nodded, "There is no reason for us both to go. And Anthony will be less likely to kill anyone you happen to meet."

Harry grimaced and nodded and closed the trunk.

"Is that everything? Cauldron? Broom?" She looked at his broom leaning against the wall by his closet. "Wow, is that a Firebolt?"

Harry smiled and grabbed his broom. He loved his broom, it was his pride and joy.

"And here I am still riding a Comet Two Sixty." She said enviously. "Ah well…wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? Okay, let's go. Locomotor Trunk."

Harry's trunk rose a few inches in the air and followed her out of the room.

Harry and Loki followed her out into the living room where everyone was waiting for them.

When they arrived, Remus was looking out the window. "We should be about ready. There's just one more thing to do."

Moody approached Harry and raised his wand.

"What are you going to do?" Harry asked nervously.

"Disillusionment Charm" Moody replied. He wacked Harry hard on the top of his head and a strange sensation traveled down his body, like water.

"Impressive" Loki said, eyeing Harry up and down.

Harry looked down and stared at his body. He wasn't fully invisible, more like camouflaged.

"Wow Harry, you're a chameleon." Tony said as he walked into the room. He had changed into a long-sleeved Black Sabbath t-shirt and jeans.

"Are you ready to go Mr. Stark?" Remus asked.

"Packed and ready" Tony said.

"And how exactly are you going to accompany us?" Kingsley asked.

"I plan on flying of course. That's how you all are traveling I'm guessing."

"Yes, we are flying via broomstick." Remus said.

"But Muggles can't use broomsticks." Emmeline Vance said.

"I won't be using a broomstick." Tony smirked. "I plan on flying out of here in my usual style"

"And what's that?" Hestia Jones asked.

"Big and bold Sweetheart"

"And draw Muggle's attention?!" Moody roared. "Are you mad?"

"I don't do stealth" Tony replied.

"We are going to our secret headquarters. We can't have a foolish Muggle like you give away our location." Moody growled.

"Don't worry your creepy little eyeball. No one is going to find out where your secret lair is." Tony rolled his eyes.

Moody growled again. Remus chuckled, "Come now Mad-Eye, weren't you the one complaining about not having enough people on this guard?"

"Someone who compromises our position has no place in a secret guard" Moody replied.

"You're not changing my mind Care Bear. I'm coming with you whether you like it or not."

Moody growled again. "Fine, have it your way. We'll be flying in close formation." He turned to Harry, "Tonks'll be right in front of you, keep close on her tail. Lupin'll be covering you from below. I'm at point. The others will be circling us. We don't break ranks for anything. If one of us is killed –"

"Is that likely?" Harry asked apprehensively, but Moody ignored him.

"– the others keep flying."

"This sounds like such a swell time doesn't it?" Tony said sarcastically. "A plain old walk in the park."

"Don't worry Harry, no one is going to die." Kingsley assured.

"Yeah, Moody's just a bit paranoid." Tonks winked at him.

"Can we leave from here Mr. Stark?" Remus asked.

"Jarvis?" Tony said and the large window opened.

Remus nodded. "Mount your brooms, that's the first signal." He pointed to a shower of red sparks in the sky.

"Well, that's my cue" Tony ran out the window.

"Dad!" Harry cried.

"Is your dad crazy?!" Tonks gasped.

Loki rolled his eyes again. "Fool"

Harry was confused for a moment, but realization hit him when the Iron Man suit floated up the open window.

"Love you Snowflake, kiss Eric goodbye for me." Tony blew his husband a kiss. "See you soon Harry" He waved and flew away.

"Wicked" Tonks whispered.

Harry smiled and nodded in agreement.

"What kind of magic was that?" Hestia Jones asked.

"It's not magic." Loki said. "It was Midgardian technology, or – I suppose – Muggle technology."

"Second signal, let's go!" Remus said as green sparks shot into the sky.

"Stay safe Harry" Loki said.

Harry nodded and flew out the window with the others.

He smiled when the cool air hit his face. It had been too long since he had last been flying.

"Muggle looking up, hard left!" Moody shouted.

Tonks swerved and Harry followed close behind her. He could sometimes see his Dad flying above them before flying ahead. The group of wizards flew higher as Moody continued to shout out directions. Harry's hands were beginning to grow numb, he should have brought gloves. His coat wasn't heavy enough to keep him from getting cold either.

"We should double back around, make sure we're not being followed." Moody said.

"ARE YOU MAD, MAD-EYE!?" Tonks screamed. "We're all frozen to our brooms."

"Time to start the descent!" Remus called out. "Follow Tonks, Harry"

Harry followed Tonks into a dive. Tony joined them as they grew closer to the sea of lights. He waved and took off again as the group came closer to the buildings. They landed in a dimly lit park. Harry shivered as Tonks unbuckled his trunk from her broom. Tony, whose suit was now a suitcase, walked over and placed his arms around Harry. Harry smiled and tried to soak as much body heat from his dad as he could.

They followed the wizards out of the small park and out onto the street. They stood in front of a line of townhouses. It wasn't a very good neighborhood if the piles of rubbish strewn along the buildings was anything to go by.

"Where are we?" Harry asked.

"Just a moment" Remus said.

Moody was rifling through his coat, "Ah, got it" He took out what looked like a silver cigarette lighter. He raised it into the air and the nearest streetlamp went out. The light was sucked into the lighter with a click. This continued until all the lamps were out and the street was covered in shadow.

"Nifty little knick-knack" Tony commented.

"Borrowed it from Dumbledore" Moody said and handed Harry a small piece of paper. "Read this quickly and memorize it."

Harry and Tony looked down at the piece of paper.

The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London.

Woo! Grimmauld Place! The trial should be next. Review please ^-^
