The next morning Harry woke with Tonks in his arms. The feeling of her bare back and the thought about the night before made his body respond instantly. He decided to get out of bed and start the day with a shower, a cold shower to be specific.

When Harry had cooled down again, he went to place a kiss on Tonks' mouth to wake her up, so they could go on their daily run.

While Tonks prepared herself, Harry started to put away the books they had bought the day before and was just finished when Tonks came out of the bathroom.

After their run, they went to change and got breakfast before they headed back to their room. Taking place in the armchairs, Tonks got out a muggle notebook and a pen and Harry dug out multiple brochures.

"So the first thing we should decide is when we are planning to leave" Tonks said.

Harry thought for a minute "I would say in two days, tops four, depending on the availability of the tickets"

"Alright, so hopefully the third, at last the fifth. Where do we go too? I want to go someplace warm, preferably in a city"

Harry took out a map of the United States and spread it out on the table in front of them. "According to the brochures, these regions are quite warm, but I would prefer to go someplace at the east or west coast"

"Alright, so that narrows it down" and then started to mark three cities on the map "Those three cities have the equivalent of Diagon alley"

"So we have Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco left" Harry summed up.

"I would say Miami falls off since the weather is still better in the west coast" Tonks said.

"Alright, then we only have to choose between two cities, let's take Los Angeles" Harry suggested.

"Fine by me, it's not that it really matters that much where we are living" Tonks told him.

After that, they started making lists of what they had to do before they left and after lunch they started with their plan.

Both Harry and Tonks took on a morph that they would use to leave the country, which was of a middle aged couple. They went to a photographer to take pictures before they headed back to the hotel. There, Tonks started with making fake passports which should hold up when they went through customs.

Settling on the surname Shaw and the names Rose and Julian, Tonks filled in all the blanks, making them a married couple that lived in Maidstone.

When their passports were done, Harry and Tonks left the hotel, changed their appearance and when to look for a travel agency. Asking around a few times, they finally found an agency and entered. It took the incompetent person behind the desk there a long while before they were able to book a direct flight to Los Angeles on the third in the early evening. Making sure they had all the papers to take the plane, the left the agency again to go back to the hotel.

By the time they were back in the hotel, it was dinner time so after a quick bite, they gathered again in the hotel room that had been their home for the past month.

"We should start packing" Harry suggested.

"You're right, but make sure you leave out enough muggle clothes. We still have to get suitcases, since it wouldn't do well to go on a supposed holiday to America without any luggage" Tonks reminded him.

Harry started to carefully unload his old trunk that he used at Hogwarts, making sure there was nothing left in it, before he sorted out his stuff. In the end, he mostly kept his textbooks and potion making material. He also kept most of the sentimental stuff that reminded him of his friends, his parents or Sirius. All the rest was put on the vanishing pile.

Tonks was doing the same since she had hastily packed all of her stuff from her parents' house the first time she was preparing to leave. She had added a few things, mostly clothes on the vanishing pile before she started to pack her stuff in her new trunk.

After packing for three hours, they cleared the bed and decided to call it a night.

The day after that, they went to buy some muggle suitcases so they could pack the rest of their stuff. Since they had still more than a day left before they had to leave, Harry and Tonks decided to roam through London a bit more before they went back to the hotel that evening to pack the rest of their stuff.

That evening, they spent relaxing after their evening run and watching a movie together before heading to sleep. The next morning was a bit more hectic since they first went on their last run in London and then packed the rest of their stuff.

They took a quick lunch in the hotel, before they went to check out of the hotel. Both packed with a large suitcase and their backpack, they took the underground to Heathrow Airport.

"Nervous?" Tonks asked.

"Yes, I just can't help but to expect everything to go wrong" Harry admitted.

Tonks took his hand "Everything will be alright, we've done everything we could so they can't find us and who would expect that I would take such a disguise? Plus they don't even know that you're a metamorphmagus and they'll suspect that you would have traveled by magic"

Harry chuckled "That's true and the fact that wizards forget that muggle transportation exists and is very efficient"

"There you got it, everything will be alright"

They took the underground until they were at the right terminal and got out there. They started to make their way towards luggage check in only to go through the security check. Both Harry and Tonks were curious if their passport would hold up, but they got through it without any problems. Magic could come in handy at such times. After scanning their handbags, which luckily showed like there was next to nothing in it, they went to search at what gate their flight would leave.

There, the waiting started until it was time for the flight to leave. They first stopped in the tax free shops to buy some drinks and snacks before they took a seat in an uncomfortable chair and waited for two hours before the boarding would begin.

"I wished we didn't had to be here this much in advance" Tonks said after the first hour of waiting.

"We're lucky that we can board first, otherwise it was another half an hour more" Harry pointed out "And the flight will be eleven hours"

"You are trying to get me depressed, aren't you" Tonks grumbled.

Harry laughed "Just think that we are going to be in the sun in hopefully a little over twelve hours"

Tonks laid her head on Harry's shoulder and closed her eyes "That is a better thought, definitely if we are going to the beach"

"I wouldn't mind if that was the first thing we did" Harry said "It would be a nice first time on the beach"

"That's true, but we will probably go to a hotel when we arrive, since it will be around nine in the evening" Tonks pointed out.

"I know, but I can dream can't I"

"You definitely can Harry" and she gave him a chaste kiss.

They waited the remaining time until the boarding for first class passengers began. Harry and Tonks went to stand in the little line that mostly existed out of business men from the looks of it.

"Luckily we put on our better muggle clothes" Tonks whispered to Harry.

Harry slipped his arm around Tonks' waist "It wouldn't be the first time if people stared at me"

Tonks wanted to reply but it was time to give her ticket to the air hostess. They were guided through a tube until they boarded the plane, where they were led to their places. They had two comfortable seats next to each other, with a little table at the sides. They could tilt the seats so they transformed into beds.

Settling in their seats, they took out a book from their backpacks that had a neutral cover and started reading before they were disturbed by an air hostess who came to ask if they wanted something to drink.

Tonks looked at Harry before she ordered two glasses of white wine.

"We might as well take advantage of these expensive tickets" Tonks said when the air hostess had left.

"That's true" Harry grinned.

When the air hostess came back with their wine Harry asked "Could you tell me when it is able to get a meal?"

"In business class, you can just order when you are hungry from the moment the plane takes off. It is in economy class that the meals are regulated" the hostess politely answered.

"Thank you for that information" Harry politely answered.

The hostess nodded and went to the next passenger.

"Already hungry?" Tonks teased.

"I am actually. It's already six hours since we've last eaten, so that shouldn't surprise you"

"No it doesn't" and Tonks focused her attention back to her book.

A few minutes before the plane would take off, they got an emergency explanation and then the plane started to make speed to get in the air. Tonks had grabbed Harry's hand, not really liking the feeling of being pushed in the seating by the force of take-off.

When they were finally in the air and leveled again, Harry started to rub Tonks' back so she would calm down again.

A while later she said "I really hated that"

"Come here" Harry said and he motioned her to sit on his lap.

Tonks' didn't needed to be told twice and happily complied. Harry continued rubbing her back, while Tonks went through his hair with her hand. They stayed like that for a long while, sometimes getting a weird look from an air hostess and they couldn't blame them. I must have been a weird sight to see two adults sitting like that, but they didn't care.

It was only when Harry's stomach began to grumble that Tonks reluctantly got off and they ordered some dinner. After eating they returned back to their books, they would try to stay awake the entire trip, since that should help them with their jet-lag according to the information in the brochure.

After a few hours they started to have trouble keeping their eyes open, so they asked for some coffee to help them stay awake. They barely were able to do so and they were so tired that they hardly noticed they were descending again until they touched the ground.

Groggily, they made their way out of the plane and the airport and went straight to the hotel that was next to the airport. After asking and paying for a room, they almost fell asleep with their clothes on, but Harry managed to coax Tonks to go and change so she would sleep comfortably.
