The next morning, Tonks was awake, bright and early, and exited for the day without being cooped up in their room working on Harry's Occlumency or his morphing abilities.

After ten minutes trying to lay still, she turned so she faces Harry and she kissed him. After a few moments, he started to respond and his lips moved with hers. Harry even went a bit further and went with his tongue over Tonks' lip.

Startled for a moment, Tonks broke the kiss and she saw Harry looking insecurely at her. It didn't take her that long before she kissed him again, this time she repeated the action and Harry opened his mouth a bit and met her tongue with his. They played and teased each other a bit with their tongue until they both were out of breath and stopped the kiss, just looking at each other. Harry had trouble keeping his head clear and used his Occlumency skills to make sure that Tonks wouldn't notice what effect she had.

"That was amazing" Harry described.

Tonks just nodded and nestled her head on his shoulder. After a few minutes she said "A nice way to start today"

They both reveled a few minutes longer in each other's embrace before Harry suggested for them to get up. Reluctantly, Tonks agreed and went to put on her sportswear, since they would start their day again with going for a run. They had noticed that the running started to go better and better, the more they went to run. Their morning run had started at forty minutes and now they were able to run an hour before they returned to the hotel.

Harry started with a shower, since it had started to become a habit and left the bathroom again only covered in a towel. While he waited for Tonks, he read some more in the book she had bought him and he had almost finished it. It explained to him the aspects of a physical relationship, how to start this, how to be considerate of your partner and how to protect yourself while doing so. He was really grateful that Tonks had gotten it for him and didn't say a thing when he was reading it. It had helped him overcome some of his insecureness about their bond. That was also the reason he had dared to take another step in their relationship that morning. He just wanted to start on the last chapter when Tonks came out of the bathroom.

"Ready for today?" she asked him.

"Yes, care to tell me what we are going to do?"

"Not really, you'll have to wait and see, but I've packed everything we need for the day" Tonks assured him.

Tonks opened the door to leave the room, so Harry just grabbed his wand and followed Tonks. Instead of going to the breakfast buffet, they left the hotel and Tonks led him to a little breakfast club where they enjoyed some typical English breakfast.

"That was a nice change" Harry said when they had left the establishment.

Tonks smiled and grabbed his hand "Now we are going to go someplace to get something you inquired about. Just make sure you don't say too much, alright?"

Harry nodded in understanding, so Tonks pulled him in a little dark alleyway and before he knew it, she had apparated them away.

When they stopped, they were someplace in the countryside and they walked a while until they came up with a little cottage. They entered the premises and knocked on the door. It was opened by a witch that was probably around fifty years.

"Nice to see you again" the woman said "Please come in"

"Thank you" Tonks said and entered the house, followed by Harry. "We are here because we are in need of your expertise"

The woman arched an eyebrow but nodded "Please follow me" and she led them to another room.

"This room is warded against everything, even the ministry can't detect anything in here, now I assume you are in need for a wand?"

"Yes, we both want a new wand, one that is better attuned to us" Tonks said.

The woman nodded "With whom do you want me to start?"

"Why don't you start with my friend" Tonks suggested.

"Alright dear, I need you to clear your mind and think about your magic and what here in the room attracts you" the woman explained.

Harry nodded and closed his eyes, he did what she had told him and his Occlumency made it easier for him.

"Now if you feel the things in this room that speak to you, slowly move towards them and hold your hand above it"

Harry did what was told and started to move around the room, holding his hands towards the things that spoke to him like the lady had told him. When he was done, he had walked towards six items and he opened his eyes.

"Alright, I have laid out the materials you went to, except one, since you will have to get that particular material yourself" the woman said with a smile.

Harry looked at her strangely until Tonks said "Once of the things you walked to and pointed to was my hair, so I'll have to lengthen my hair, so you can take a hair out for your new wand"

When she saw the insecurity Tonks assured him "I wasn't surprised, so don't worry"

Harry nodded and Tonks made her hair grow, so Harry could carefully pull a hair out and he laid it on the bench.

Tonks immediately changed her hair to her preferred style again before she took Harry's hand and rubbed it.

"Alright Tonks, it's your turn" the woman told her.

Tonks did the same thing Harry had done and as he had, one of the materials was a hair from Harry. Harry had to focus a lot harder on making his hair grow, but managed to do so that Tonks could take a hair that was long enough. It was easier for him to change his hair back like it was and once he had done so, the woman spoke "I'll need an hour I think to make these wands, you can take a seat over there while you wait"

Both Harry and Tonks nodded and did as she had told them. Harry and Tonks just sat close to each other, both working on storing some memories and checking their mental defenses.

The hour passed quite fast for them and before they knew it, the woman came back with the two wands and came to them. She placed them on the table in front of them before she took a seat herself.

The woman directed herself to Harry and said "Your new wand is made out of cedar wood, which is typically for an owner who has a strong character and is very loyal. The core is made out the hair of your mate, a thunderbird tail feather and horned serpent horn. It also contains a phoenix feather, while the second feather I had from that phoenix now resides in Tonks' wand. This should make it a very interesting wand since I would have never thought for those cores to go together and it should make very powerful wand. In the bottom of the wand, like you can see here in the handle, is a shungite, this is a very rare stone that should help you with healing magic"

"Thank you for making this wand" Harry said.

The woman just nodded and laid the wand in Harry's hand. The feeling he felt was ten times more intense than with his original wand and he focused his magic on his wand for some reason. He was surprised to see symbols appearing on his wand. When he looked up at the woman, shock was written on her face.

"I have never experienced this with a wand, then again, I have never made a wand with six materials" the woman said.

"Could I have a look" Tonks asked.

Harry nodded and laid his new wand in her hand. Tonks was surprised that she felt the wand responding to her too and inspected the symbols, which she quickly recognized as runes in the wood.

"They are the runes for strength, love and persuasion" Tonks told him.

Harry just nodded again, not really knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence the woman spoke again "It is possible that your bond is doing this. Now for yout wand Tonks, it has apple wood, which makes it a very strong wand, typically for those who fight in the light. The cores are a hair of your mate, the phoenix feather, a firebird tail feather and white river monster spine, this is again a very unusual combination that I hadn't expected to be stable. You also have a shungite in your wand. If you would pick it up, I'm curious to the reaction"

Tonks smiled and picked up her wand, she felt a warm feeling flooding over her and her magic went to her wand. She was still a bit surprised to see the same runes as on Harry's wand appear on hers.

"Well, I must say this was a very interesting morning" the woman said.

Tonks nodded before she asked "We would also like to buy four wrist wand holders, with all the possibilities"

"Of course, am I correct to suspect what will happen when you leave here?"

"I'm afraid so" Tonks responded.

"I understand, I will give you some materials, which will make it impossible for me to suspect what wands and how many wands I made" the woman told her.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it"

The woman gave them the four wand holsters and also some raw materials before she said "That will be 2100 galleons"

Tonks wasn't surprised by the high amount and got the money out of her wallet, but this time not in the form of a note, but as real galleons. Both she and Harry then put on their wand holsters and put their wands in them. The moment they had done so, they disappeared from sight.

The woman just put them on a scale that informed her that the amount seemed correct. She then went to take a seat in the sofa and told Tonks "You can proceed"

Tonks nodded before she stunned her and then obliviated her. Then both she and Harry let themselves out of the house. They walked the same road they had taken before and then Tonks apparated them away.

"Can you explain to me what happened?" Harry asked when they were walking in London again.

"That woman was a family member of mine who is very gifted in making specialized wands and as you might have noticed, sensing magic since she picked up on our bond. She was also disowned by the Black family and the auror department has used her skills sometimes in the past to make a fitting wand for some of the senior aurors. She is used to being obliviated, since the wands she makes are often better not to be disclosed to others and that keeps her and the owners of the wands safer" Tonks explained. "Of course it costs a bit more when you chose to do so"

"Thank you for taking me there" Harry told her.

"No problem, we both could use a new wand so it seemed" Tonks said "Now, it seems like it is time to get some early lunch"

She took Harry's hand and pulled him through the streets of London and stopped when they were in front of a nice little restaurant.

They both ordered their food and two glasses of wine. They talked a bit about their last two weeks and when the food had arrived Harry asked "The next bit of training after today will be about the morphing I right?"

"Yes, I'm certain that you have the same abilities as I have, so I want to teach you how to change your hair, eyes, facial structures and body composition. I would deem you ready to leave England, if you are able to hold a morph with changed hair, eyes and some facial structures for twelve hours in a row, preferable sixteen to twenty" Tonks explained.

"Luckily I really like practicing my morphing" Harry told her "It's a lot more fun than Occlumency"

"I can't disagree with you" Tonks agreed.

They enjoyed the rest of their lunch and when they were ready, they left to take the underground. Tonks led them to another part of London and it dawned on Harry what they would do when they stood in front of a swimming paradise.

"I thought we should have some fun" Tonks said when she saw his face.

"I think I'm going to like this" Harry told her with a sparkle in his eyes.

They entered the building and payed for their tickets. After that they went to the changing rooms, where Tonks gave Harry his swimming trunk before disappearing in her own cubicle. Harry was faster done changing and waited for Tonks until she was ready. When she was, she exited her changing room and Harry needed all his learned Occlumency not to show everybody how much he like the view he had of Tonks in her bikini.

"I'm really glad I know Occlumency now" Harry murmured, but Tonks had still heard and smiled at the comment.

The afternoon was spent enjoying each other's company, going in the slides, having a good time in the rapids and lagoon pool and when they were tired, they went to relax a bit in the spa. By the time Harry and Tonks went back to the hotel, they were famished and exhausted.

While they were on the underground Harry told Tonks "I really enjoyed our day, thank you"

"You're welcome, I thought you would like it to let your inner child come out for once. And I don't mind doing so either. I don't always get that chance"

"So any plans for this evening?" Harry asked.

"I had planned on going to a musical or film, but I think I would just fall asleep" Tonks admitted.

"We can always order room service and watch a movie in our room" Harry suggested.

"I'd like that" and she laid her head on his shoulder.

Harry wrapped his arm around her protectively and made sure they got out at the right stop. They walked back from the station to the hotel hand in hand and ordered room service immediately after arriving in their room.

That evening, they just relaxed in their bed, eating room service and eventually falling asleep on each other's shoulder.
