3. Chapter 3

"Hey, Harry," The Sigma Werewolf said with a wide grin as his Adopted son and the Wolf/Fox God Animagus bounded into him hitting him full force in the gut. Thankful that the Raiju and Raven Animagus held back from using his full strength to hug him, the Wolf within him wanted to cry at the return of his pup who also happened to be an Alpha Wolf despite his young age.

A Sigma Wolf is a Mid-Tier jack of all trades who teaches the newer pups. As Remus had been a teacher and was not strong enough to be in the higher or top tier of the family pack, he took the job as the Tutor or Mentor which caused his Sigma Rank to be solidified.

"Remus!" He said excitedly before letting go, jumping at Sirius with the same vigor and almost toppling the Wizard and shouting "Sirius!" The Black haired Lord couldn't help but shout back "Pup!" Feeling the boy who was the son of his best friends wrap his arms around his waist. Although Sirius wasn't exactly a Wolf, he was part of their pack as well, being in the Canis family. And being a Grim, Sirius was an Epsilon in their family.

An Epsilon is a Lower-High-Tiered Rank which guards the pack and keeps them safe from outside influence. He was proud to have such a rank in their small pack because despite loving Remus, the wolf inside of him didn't always like that a Grim outranked him. But because of the fact, Sirius was stronger than Remus, they left it at that.

With his insane power levels, Noble Birth, and strong blood, Harry was born as an Alpha. His Animagus form, the literal Mythic Beast God of Thunder, Lightning, and Destruction was easily more powerful than a Nundu and the powers radiating off his form were incredible. He could change into a normal wolf if he so wished, but he preferred to stay his stronger form which was almost Chimerical. A wolf's body with the paws, tails, and snout of a Fox was what many saw in him. He had four tails, each one capable of moving independently. He was Black with Grey-ish blue dragon scales down his chest and across his underbelly until reaching his crotch. His four tails were all black until the tip where they changed to white and ended with some blue tufts. His eyes were the same green and his fur coat was dark black except for the white paws and his scales.

In his true Raiju form, he was capable of controlling Shadows, Lightning, Electricity, and even Thunder, he had discovered he could roar four times as loud as a dragon with a sound which sounded like rolling thunder if he tried howling and roaring at the same time.

When the pair had first seen Harry do this, it had terrified them as they were both parts of the canis family and realized how strong Harry really was.

A werewolf was in the same classification of a Nundu despite a Nundu's power being Seven times that of someone with Lycanthropy. The Deadliest of creatures that were native to Europe was an XXXXX creature. A Raiju, however, was an XXXXXXXXX Creature as labeled by the British and Japanese Ministries in 1386 when someone smuggled a Raiju Pup out of the mountains and brought it to England. That Raiju was Three Feet Tall, Five Feet Two Inches Long, and only had two tails, so Harry's classification would most likely get him put under a Ten X Danger Rating which meant he was one of the Deadliest Creatures to walk the planet in his blackened wolf form.

In his Raiju Form, Harry was Four Feet tall and Seven Feet Four Inches Long, his tails were Three Feet and Two Inches. Silver Ears could hear from Two Miles away and his nose could smell everything from within a five-mile radius.

When he was in his normal wolf form, he was Three Feet Tall and Five and a Half Feet, Long which, although considerably smaller than his Raiju form, it was big for a wolf.

In Britain, there were literally no wolves anymore as they were hunted in the late Sixteen Hundreds to Extinction. But there were a total of Fourteen Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty Four Werewolves living in the United Kingdom and another Six Thousand in Ireland.

Of these wolves, only Four were Alphas. Four when including Harry, which few knew about.

The three other packs were those of Fenrir Greyback, the pack in the Forbidden Forrest of Hogwart led by an Alpha named Kai Lalu, and a pack in Ireland which consisted of Three Thousand alcoholic werewolves who spent ninety percent of their time raiding bars and raising money through gambling and sports to buy wolfsbane which was provided by the alpha who they gave all the money to for him to support them. The Irish Alpha's name was Koda Ali. Both other Alpha Werewolves had been introduced to Harry through Remus and they immediately recognized the Eleven Year Old's scent and formally began to call him Alpha Potter to which he returned and called them Alpha Lalu and Alpha Ali separately.

Harry, Remus, and Sirius were on Good Terms with the two other packs and Harry went to the Pack in the Forbidden Forrest on Full Moons to help alleviate some pains from the Werewolves of Lalu's pack and make sure no one killed any human or each other. The Delta of Lalu's pack always came to Harry a few days before the Full Moon to ask him if he would be coming that week. Harry Potter getting the correspondences from an unknown woman. When Dumbledore asked her who she was and she responded a messenger of Lalu, Dumbledore almost fell out of his golden throne in the Great Hall which confused everyone else, including Minerva because Harry and Dumbledore were the only ones except Hagrid who had ever met the Pack in the Forbidden Forrest and survived.

Despite his best to hold it back, tears streamed down his face as he smiled at the two men who had rescued him from his old life. His dads. His "Uncles" and his family.

Both men who he cared for above everyone else except his brother looked down at the boy with small smiles while patting his head comfortingly as he wiped his tears away furiously. Harry looked up at them and gave them smiles. They were both relatively tall, especially when compared to him.

Remus was a thin and bony man who stood at Six Two and was pale as a ghost. His face was marred with scars and his hair was a greying sandy color. His kind light brown eyes made him be immediately trusted by many and his intelligence won out many of the rest.

Sirius was quite a bit smaller but not short in the least. Standing Five Foot Ten, his height was something neither he nor Remus ever found an issue with. Sirius had hair as long as Lucius Malfoy but he had hair which was pitch black while Malfoy's was snowy white. His frame was much more muscular than the wiry Remus, but Azkaban had been harsh on him. But he had regained all of that weight and his muscle. He had taken his position again when Harry and Lucas assured him that he should.

When Sirius came back, being given his Senior Auror Title back immediately by Amelia Bones, he and Rufus Scrimgeour began to plot. And when Harry and Lucas went to Hogwarts, the pair went completely in-depth interviewing every single Auror from Amelia down to the freshest daisy recruit. Anyone who even hesitated to be questioned if they had ties to the Dark-Lord in the last War was immediately investigated and a total of Five Hundred Thirty-Nine of the Four Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Four Aurors were arrested for illegal activities, bribery, miscarriage of justice, felony, fraud, crimes, or being followers of Voldemort. Every single member of the Aurors and even the Ministry was investigated and Sirius had Harry brew Fifty Gallons of Veritaserum which cost him a total of Five Thousand Galleons in ingredients but proved Six Thousand Two Hundred and Eleven Ministry Officials were arrested after that cleaning of all frauds, corrupt, and unjust, more than three fourths of the Wizengamot had to be replaced and the new Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones passed a law that anyone working in the Ministry who wished to get a job had to swear oaths not to break the law, corrupt justice, or do anything to sabotage Muggle or Magical Britain. The law passed and the new Ministry was filled with a majority of Half-Bloods and First Generation of Wizards.

Four-Fifths of Purebloods were arrested and sentenced to Azkaban for crimes including Rape, Torture, Murder, Extortion, Money Laundering, and other things. It went down in history as the Black Plague of the British Ministry and the new Government ran so smoothly and efficiently that many if not most of the old corrupt laws had been repealed.

Lucius Malfoy had been sentenced to Death and despite that, Lucas and Draco had remained friends. It seemed the Malfoy Scion realized just how corrupt and evil his father was. Sirius made the offer to his Cousin that if she resigned the Malfoy name, that he would return her to the family, just that their bloodline would never inherit the family fortunes or titles but they would be protected by the Blacks and continue to be considered "Pureblood". Narcissa accepted and Draco Abraxas Malfoy then became Draco Abraxus Black at the very end of the November Month which had been three weeks ago almost.

As the entire Wizarding World had been turned on its head since the beginning of the school year thanks to that recent cleansing in the past Four Months, everything had changed, but everything was the same to Sirius and Remus. But seeing their Oldest in tears was something they hadn't expected. They had received a detailed letter from Lucas asking them to consider transferring Harry if he asked, but they had not realized that their strong and proud adopted son would act in such a way in front of others. Harry was always so strong that it was a shock to see him such strong emotions at all, so they immediately reacted and grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Why are you crying?" Asked Remus in worry.

"Nothing," Harry shook his head with a bright smile "I am just glad to see you both."

"It is great to see you, too, pup," Sirius said ruffling his hair which was in Lucas' form so it was much shorter and fluffier than his own long and smooth hair.

"Harry, where is Luke?" Asked Remus, using the nickname he used for his Godson.

"Oh, he sat with his friends. I was doing something and was running a little late. I didn't want to have to search the entire train to find him so I just got into a Compartment with Neville Longbottom. He is alright, bit quiet though."

Sirius and Remus didn't seem to believe him and looked like they were going to interrogate him when a Red-Haired Rocket zoomed towards them shouting out "Moony!" and "Padfoot!"

"Hey, Luke," Remus grinned accepting a hug from him before Sirius.

"How are you doing, Prongslet?" Asked Sirius.

"I am doing great! Oh, I wanted to introduce you to my friends," He said excitedly "This is Ron Weasley,"

The red Haired boy waved with a small smile "Hiya,"

"And this is Hermione, she is the Smartest Witch of her Age according to McGonagall."

The Bushy haired girl genius smiled and said "Hi, brilliant to finally put a name to a face."

"This is Draco Black," He introduced "He plays reserve Seeker for Slytherin."

The Blonde bowed "Lord Black, a Pleasure to meet you."

"This is Vincent,"

"And this is Gregory,"

"This is Lavender, Seamus, Dean, Padma, Pavarti, Lisa, Su, Daphne, Tracey, Susan, Hanah, etc." Harry tuned his brother out as he continued to introduce every single first year and some of the second years he was close to, to Sirius and Remus.

"Wotcher, Siri." Came a voice which caused the four to all turn to look at the pinkette.

"Wow!" Sirius exclaimed, "You have changed quite a bit since the beginning of the year!"

"Have I?" Asked Tonks looking down "I barely change out of this form anymoreinless I am being forced to break my limits in training which is tiring business. I actually learned to control it better, if you would believe it." She admitted, "I have almost gotten completely used to my base body and have been working out pretty hard."

"It is good for you, look at this muscle!" Sirus smirked "And you are skinnier. Same height though. You look good, Nym."

"Don't call me that," She warned him angrily.

"Well damn, you got scarier too!" Sirius exclaimed, "Has someone been teaching you to master an intimidating wolf glare?"

"Actually, yes." Tonks smirked smugly "I got a tutor."

"Is that why you have a backpack which looks like it weighs a hundred pounds?" Asked Remus.

"Yes!" She exclaimed in exasperation "He is making me read! Dozens of books! It is horrible." She then straightened up and admitted "But I truly believe that it is making me have so much progress in my learning that the pain is worth it. You would not believe how far I have come since I have begun my training. I have even begun to learn to stop tripping over everything!"

"Really?" Asked Remus "Who is this mystery man?" He gave her a questioning smirk and suggestively wiggled his eyebrows "Do I need to give my ickle Cousin In-Law the talk?"

"Well, I am not sure if I should say. It is kind of a secret that no one but me knows about. Well, some other people know that I train with my tutor, but I don't really know if they are... real or not."

"I am not even going to ask..." Sirius said "Let's go, Andromeda is at home waiting for us."

"Cool!" Tonks and Lucas exclaimed as Sirius grabbed Tonks and Apparated her to their apartment and Remus turned to Harry "Did you get what you wanted from Sarah?"

"Yes, yes I did." Harry smirked, "I will meet you there."

"Alright," Remus said and Apparated Lucas back to their apartment.

Sarah was the name Lucas had named his pet Bat while Harry chose to name his Snowy Owl Hedwig.

Harry asked to borrow the Magical Black Bat and do some examining and Lucas reluctantly agreed. After Twenty-Six Hours of Testing, Harry finally figured out how Shadow Travel Worked.

It took him Seven Days to learn to make it work for Magical Humans.

Shadow Traveling into his room at the apartment, Harry dropped off his stuff and took off his Hogwarts robes before changing into a pair of black jeans, a blue knit sweater, and a pair of old converse.

Walking into the living room, Andromeda looked at him in shock "How did you get here? They just apparated in!"

"Uh... Magic?" Harry tried to come up with some sort of excuse but failed miserabbly.

"Uh, Magic my butt." Andy said in annoyance "I swear if Sirius is allowing an Eleven Year Old to try Apparition I am going to stab him!"

"Woah! Woah!" Harry put up his hands defensively "I didn't apparate, I just used a different type of transportation. It is a form of Magical instant movement which doesn't cause all the dizziness and sickness."

"What? That is impossible." Ted claimed.

"No, it is completely possible." Sirius smirked "Believe me, Remus and I raised him. He is definitely stupid enough to do it. So, want to explain how you reverse engineered a hereditary magical creature's power into something which allows humans to jump through darkness and travel through the Dimensional Plane only to reappear wherever they wish? Or should I?"

"Um... I don't think I understood what that meant and he used my pet to do it." Lucas said looking dumbfounded.

"Wow, Siri, when did you get a brain that actually worked?" Andromeda teased.

"Wow, Andy, when did you get a sense of humor which wasn't cursing people?" Sirius stuck his tongue out in a very mature example of the relationship of cousins.

"So, Harry, what exactly is it that you created?" Asked Tonks "Whatever it is sounds dead useful."

"I invented a Human form of Shadow Traveling." He smiled before melting into darkness and reappearing behind her and tapping her on the shoulder causing the girl sitting in the recliner to almost jump out of her skin.

"Holy Shit!" She screamed in shock before calming down "You little demon! I'll get you for that!"

Raising her hand, she summoned her magic into a small concentrated white ball and flung a stinging hex at him just like she had been taught by her Tutor.

But to her immense shock, Harry didn't even move, he simply batted the curse away with his bare hand with a smug smile "You have to do better than that, Nymphadora."

"Wh-What the Bloody Hell?" Lucas asked at the massive shows of sorcery.

Not only had his older brother just melted into shadows only to reappear behind Tonks. Then, the girl who he had known as clumsy and a slacker when it came to studying, had used Wandless Speechless Magic. But Harry batted it aside with his bare hand.

"How did you do that?" He asked the pair.

"W-Well, my tutor has been teaching me lots of stuff." Tonks blushed, realizing that all of the people in the room were gaping at her in shock that she had used wandless and speechless magic.

"Your tutor must be one hell of a teacher! I remember our practice duel last year. You were atrocious. Now you are doing magic on the level of Ha-" Sirius was cut off by a glare from the person he was speaking of while the brown eyes of his disguised Godson flashed and powerful green orbs shone angrily and he shut up.

"Yeah, he is intense. Toughest bastard I have ever met. I have not even landed a single hit on him yet, but I am improving. His magic is out way of my league." Tonks admitted.

"I didn't know you were getting tutored?" Spoke up, Ted.

"Oh, yeah. I mentioned it in a letter to mom." Tonks shrugged "I study with him from Six to Eleven Forty-Five except every Twenty Nine Days or so, says it is to give me a small break. He thinks I need a breather with how hard he pushes me. I personally think I could stand for a few more, but he said to reach our goal by the end of the year that I don't get breaks." She pouted adorably "A few of his friends, a Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor are there as well, but all they ever do is sit and read. Jax has given me some help with fighting and Matrix has given me help on some cool tips."

"Yeah, I thought I mentioned it to you when I got that letter." Andromeda shrugged "But I didn't realize when you said that you were improving a lot that you were improving this much! I mean... Wandless and Speechless casting? I can't even do that! Only powerful wizards like Filius, Minerva, or Albus can do it. The only spells I can do like that are basic domestic spells. Yours seemed to be an offensive spell though, what was it?"

"It was a Stinging Jinx." Remus said before everyone turned and looked at him "What? I live with pranksters, of course, I know what Jinxes look like."

"But what did you do, Harry? The Shadow Travel and whatever it was to block Tonks' Magic?"

"Well, that is a long explanation, so I could just give you my notes if you want to know what I did, as for the blocking of her magic, that was pretty easy." He gave a smirk "I moved the magic by summoning raw magic into my hand and physically deflecting it before it could impact me and stopped its direction through changing the trajectory. Didn't you notice that it hit the rug?" He pointed towards the ground which had a small black mark on it "It really isn't hard to block magic if you understand the math and have the physical reflexes to deflect it."

"Does this work for all spells?" asked Sirius.

"Yes," Harry nodded "As long as I can pull the same type of magic from either inside of me or from the ambient powers, I can block any and all spells. Even the Killing Curse. Theoretically speaking, of course." He frowned "Do none of you read the articles I write for Charms Weekly?"

"You are the author of a Magazine?" Sirius asked in shock.

"Yes, I am the Editor, Publisher, Author, and Owner. I publish my own theories in every weekly magazine as well as analyzing other peoples' works as well as going over forgotten works. I also have article columns in Transfiguration Today, Defense Dialogue, and Mysteries of Magic all of them are very high-end reading materials. Do you not subscribe to the most modern reading?"

"No, we aren't nerds, Harry." Lucas smirked, "But wait, does that mean you have made money?"

"Yes, I have made money from my Magazine business as well as publishing some papers among other things." He nodded "I can't believe you haven't heard of it! My research was making massive waves in the Mage societies across the world. I was even given a Certification of Magical Accomplishment by the Mage Association of London. I made International News!"

"I can't believe my Godson is a Published Magical Theorizer at Eleven!" Sirius shouted with a wide grin "But didn't you say you also invested in Muggle Businesses? How much is the Potter Fortune at the Moment?"

"Two Billion, One Hundred Sixty Three Million Galleons." Harry stated with a bored face "I made the Potters the Fifteenth Richest Family in the World. Thanks to your cleansing I was capable to capitalize off of their downfall and bought out a majority of business ventures from the falling Lords, so the Potter businesses will spike after they break even with what I spent to buy those businesses at dirt cheap. Once they are under my management and I get them running again, I am expecting to see massive growth."

"F-Fifteenth Richest?" Tonks asked in shock "Holy shit!"

"Language," Harry said calmly taking his seat on the couch despite the looks of shock he was receiving from everyone.

"You are the richest self-made Billionaire in the Muggle or Wizarding World, you can't expect us to be not shocked, Harry," Ted said.

"No, but I thought you had been reading my stuff." He huffed in annoyance, looking out the window while crossing his arms "I spent a long time on those essays. I created and researched so much yet none of you paid attention."

"Well, to be fair, Harry, how were we supposed to know you were publishing your works?" Asked Remus.

"I made the Daily Prophet Three Times for my Earthshattering Discoveries. Two of my spells have saved Twenty Five Aurors' Lives. The shield I created actually absorbs the magical energy rather than deflecting it and the other spell scans an entire room with radar before giving a magical reading of who is in the room and where they are. It stopped a bombing at an airport. I also invented a Potion which in its trial stages cured Dragon Pox from a man who was about to pass away. He made an almost complete recovery from my medicine." He threw his hands in the air "Whatever, I guess I will just go be myself and lock myself in the library because I am a nerd!"

As they heard the door slam, Remus cringed and spoke up "That... Didn't go well."

"H-He really cured Dragon Pox?" Asked Lucas "I thought Wizards have been trying to cure that for the past Thousand Years?"

"They have." Sirius nodded "But why would Harry work on something like that?"

"Didn't his Euphemia die of Dragon Pox?" Asked Andromeda.

"Oh, yeah!" Remus nodded "I completely forgot. She contracted it and died three years after Fleamont was killed during the war. Dorea and Charlus both died of Dragon Pox as well. I read their obituaries in the Prophet many years ago."

"So you think Harry just up and made a Magical Cure for an impossible to cure disease because our relatives died from it?" Asked Lucas feeling extremely guilty for not even speaking to Harry at all or knowing what he was doing the past Four Months "I... I should have known what he was up too. I barely talked to him at all. And now I know he was working so hard on those essays to impress us... And we just didn't even notice."

"If he is spending so much time inventing new magic, how is he doing in class, do either of you know?" Ted asked, "Surely he must be behind if he is actually running his own company and has enough time to cure a disease."

"He is top of the year." Spoke Lucas "He even beat Hermione. And she is a Certified Genius by the British Government. Her I.Q. is One Hundred Eighty-Three. She also has a photographic memory. He still beat her scores in every class. Practical, mutliple choice, and Written exams. She was so jealous and even asked me if he was cheating. But he isn't. He is just that smart."

Sirius barked out laughter "That is really high, Prongslet. Our scores came back as well. Remus' Score was One Hundred Thirty-Eight, mine was One Hundred and Twenty-three. Your Score was One Hundred and Forty-Two, you are a Certified Genius as well. Your plaque is in your and Harry's room."

"Well, what was Harry's score?" Asked Tonks.

"Yeah, I am sure if I am a Genius he has to be above me... Right?"

Sirius looked at Remus for a second before shaking his head "Not only did he score above us, he... He did amazing."

"His score was 248." Remus said "We didn't get the results of the test until he went to school, but the test scores came back from the Department of Academics in London. The Muggle Method rated Harry as the smartest Human Alive. He even received a Plaque from Guinness World Records for Highest Intelligence Quotient in History."

"That... That is insane. You only need an I.Q. of 140 to be considered a Genius is... Is Harry truly that smart?" Asked Ted in shock.

"Yes, yes he is." Remus nodded.

"He more than doubled your score, Siri!" Andromeda laughed "I want to get mine tested. I am sure if those boys score so high I am sure I will be considered a Muggle Genius as well."

"Well, we can go and let you take the test, but what should we do about Harry?" Remus placated.

"Well, the first thing I think we should do is order all of the things he has written." Sirius asked, "I don't know how to find out, do any of you?"

-7777((((-))))7777-

It was later during the break that Lucas mentioned that Harry had not come out of their library yet that Sirius and Remus got extremely concerned.

Not that they weren't expecting the rebellious phase to eventually appear, but they had not expected it for a few more years. Remus had hoped it wouldn't come, but Sirius was just hoping to not have to deal with a moody mage until Harry actually was a teen to have to deal with teen breakdowns.

Andromeda, Tonks, and Ted who were staying over at the apartment wondered how Harry had managed to not leave his room at all for five days without Eating, Drinking, or using the bathroom.

When Lucas said that he probably came out a night, they decided that that night, they would stay awake and try to catch him when he was up.

That night, as the Six were all in the living room waiting for him to come out of the Library, they had decided to just try and go in.

Lucas found the door locked, Sirius tried "Alohamora" but that didn't do anything. When Remus tried a few complex unlocking charms, Andromeda got annoyed and just used magic to try and break the door only to realize there were wards around the library.

An annoyed Harry opened the door, bags the size of Alaska under his eyes and a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. He wore an oversized sweater over a Vintage CCR Shirt. His ripped jeans had paint all over them and his hands were also covered with paint. He was barefoot and there was dried paint on the tops of his feet.

"What the hell are you doing making all this noise?" He asked in a groggy voice.

"We were trying to get in to see you. We were worried?" Lucas said.

"Uh-Why?" He asked as if they had told him they thought he was dying.

"Because you have been in there for five days!" Sirius shouted.

"Really?" He asked looking at the calendar and clock on the wall "Oops." He shrugged and raised an eyebrow "Did you not think to knock? I would have opened the door. You didn't need to throw a Bombarda at the door to the library and scare me half to death at an attack on my wards. If it wasn't warded you could have destroyed some of my books." He glared at Andromeda.

"Well... we tried opening the door but it was locked." Said, Sirius.

"Nah? I have absolutely have no reason to hide anything or do anything behind closed doors." He grumbled sarcastically, "Yeah it was locked, I didn't want you guys to come in, I was wrapping your gifts until a little while ago and didn't take down the wards."

"It is Three in the Morning!" Tonks exclaimed.

"And?" He asked, fixing his appearance and straightening his back. The tiredness seemed to melt off of him and his eyes seemed to brighten up. The bags under his eyes seemed to fade and he shook his hair which was currently in the form of Lucas so it was red.

"When do you normally sleep?" Asked Sirius.

"I haven't slept in Four Years." Harry shrugged and said "I use magic to constantly recharge, rejuvenate, grow muscles, repair tissue and synthesize hormones. There is no point in wasting time with useless things such as that. Come see what I was working on."

He shook his head at them before going back into the Library and walking over to the isle which on it was a canvas which depicted the interior of a stunning castle. A King sat on the throne, his red eyes dimly glowing, a crown studded with rubies and made of gold shined in the light of the moon which seeped through the glass of the high castle windows above the ornate throne. Knights stood to either side of the throne and as single Figure draped in white bowed deeply, kneeling in front of the King. The figure was dressed in a cloak over metallic armor painted with white and had weapons of the highest quality. A sword with a dragon-like hilt and sheath sat over his right shoulder and he had a bandolier of deadly looking knives on either side of his hips.

Sirius, Remus, Lucas, Ted, Andromeda, and Nymphadora were captivated as the painting began to change as Harry's brush dipped into an orange color which he dabbed onto the space where the window was. He pressed the brush into the canvas, seemingly ruining the pristine Masterpiece. But everyone gasped as rather than ruin it with a blotch, the brush was sucked dry of paint as the orange seemed to disappear within the canvas. Harry dabbed in some light blues, yellows, whites, purples, and reds before he went down to the bowing figure and did the same weird trick where he pressed paint into the figure. He painted Silvers, Whites, Greys, Blacks, Reds, and Smokey colors before moving to the Knights where he added Whites, Tans, and Reds. Finally, he closed his eyes and hummed before dipping his completely clean brush into red which he blended to make it a color deeper and darker. He added some white and then stepped away, dipping the brush in a clear glass of water.

"I am finished." He said.

"I don't understand, what was that?" Asked Remus.

"It is how Magical Paintings work, you have to add paint to where the overall art will change. They can only carry out actions which include their colors and the Artist's imagination." Harry explained "If you want to infuse magic into art, you have to have years of study and practice to even begin to make a piece move. That is why a magical Portrait is so rare and so valued. It takes an Artist Decades to get down. Portraits which can talk are only for the highest level of Art Mastery and would take a Charms Master."

"I don't understand, I thought you said it takes Decades. You have been doing it since you were five." Said Lucas.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Ted "Making a moving painting is impossible without a wand and Enchanter."

Running to his room and coming back with a framed painting. Lucas grinned at their confusion.

"Why do you have a Moving Painting of a Centaur?" Asked Sirius.

"Look at the Signature at the bottom right." He smirked looking at his annoying twin.

"Harry Potter... Nineteen-Ninety-Five. Harry was Five when he drew this? It looks like it was done professionally! How did he enchant it?"

"I still don't know how I did it, exactly." Harry admitted, "But I put so much passion in it that I used accidental Magic and subconsciously, I had seen Moving Paintings with mum and dad I guess, so mentally I knew they were possible and I just made it so. I wanted that painting to be special like the ones I had seen when I was an infant."

"But why do you have it framed?" Harry turned to his brother in annoyance "I mean really, bro? I was five, that piece was literally terrible, if you want a better painting just ask and I will make something that doesn't look terrible. Where have you kept that?"

"It was the first Christmas present I ever received and I keep it on my half of the room. I always wondered why your bed was never a mess. I guess it is because you literally never use it. And the Dursleys never found it, so I kept it with us when we moved in with Remus. I got it framed when we were Eight." Lucas smirked, "Not the only sly one now, are we, Potter."

"What, are you Draco now?" Harry asked, unimpressed.

"Do you not like Draco?" Asked Lucas with concern laced in his voice.

"No, Draco is a decent kid, it is just that he doesn't understand how the world works. He thinks because his family had money that he should have the rest of the world lick his boots and that he is always right. He has to realize the cold hard truths about the world before I will actually be able to tolerate his presence for more than Five Minutes. He slacks despite his obvious intelligence and gifts in Charms, Defense, and Potions. If he were to apply himself, he might even be able to match Granger in her knowledge of magic. But Draco's Green and Blue Magic are so much more powerful it is surprising that Hermione is ahead of him."

"You sound like you don't like Hermione either..." Lucas groaned in annoyance.

"She is self-centered, believes she knows best for everyone else and does not think that herself or books can be wrong. She is stubborn to a fault and doesn't do well with being wrong or beaten." He said in a monotone voice "She tries to get you and Weasley to do better despite neither of you having any drive whatsoever."

"Hey, I take offense to that no matter how correct you are!" Lucas whined, "So you don't like Ron either?"

"Weasley is the Worst person in the school yet he seems like your best friend." Harry said bitterly "He is a failure in magic and he is a git who talks and never shuts up. He is selfish and leeches onto you for your fame. He wants money and recognition but doesn't want to work for it. For some reason you and he are chummy despite the fact that he is the worst student in the school and has the manners of a Troll. Which is ironic because of the fact that I actually met and killed one earlier in the school year before the feast. If I didn't find the Twins funny then I would say that the Weasleys that I have met were all Jealous, Egotistical, Jerks who think they know better and are too deep into the Light Side Propaganda their parents spit that they couldn't tell a kettle from a pot."

"You killed a troll?" Asked Andromeda "That is way too dangerous! You are eleven!"

"Wait, how did you find a troll?" Asked Tonks.

"Well, I was stalking one of the professors." Harry said casually "Quirrell was in the forbidden forest. I was going to capture him and take him to Dumbledore for killing a Unicorn when he began to drink its blood. Then, he lured a troll into the school and went running off to the Great Hall. I decapitated the big idiot before going to check out where Quirrell went and apparently he went after the treasure hidden in the Third Floor Corridor. Snape was there as well but didn't notice me." Harry smirked "When I talked to Dumbledore, he agreed with me and confirmed my suspicions about Quirrell and brought me into the scheme. I even helped him add another layer of security for his machinations of the plan to capture and dispose of the Evil Magical Parasite infecting Quirrell."

"Wh... What?" Ted was lost.

"Quirrell has Black Magic on the back of his head which is why he wears his turban. It is controlling his mind and action. Dumbledore and I are currently working on a way to get it out of his mind without killing the professor. I first noticed it on the third day at Hogwarts and have been planning with Albus since then. We both noticed how his personality shifts when certain people are around him and we are trying to figure out what the parasite wants before we remove it from the host and capture it. It is a rather big manipulative game of chess if you think about it."

"Wow... For being Anti-Social you have all of the people at Hogwarts pegged pretty accurately from what I have heard so far." Tonks chuckled.

"I pay attention to who is around my brother. I don't want him to get hurt by accident." Harry said crossing his arms.

"So, you really don't like anyone at Hogwarts?" Asked Remus dejectedly.

"Well... Tonks and Lucas are there." He said then realized that that did not get their hopes up "I find the Weasley Twins Hilarious and Padma Patil and Su Li are almost bearable to be around when they aren't chastising me for not spending more time doing stuff other than reading or studying. But decidedly, no. I don't really have friends who spend time with me."

"But all you do is study!" Bemoaned Lucas.

"Oh yeah?" Harry turned to his brother and asked with hurt eyes "How would you know?"

There was silence before both brothers looked down at the ground and apologized in Unison "I-I am sorry."

After a few more seconds of tension, Ted cleared his throat awkwardly trying to break up the Awkward Atmosphere "Well, we haven't seen the painting move yet, so how would you get the Painting to actually begin? Do you have to spell it still?"

"No, all you have to do is say 'Activate'." And just as he said it, the entire scene began to move.

The man in white bowed his head as the King's face morphed into a sneer before his mouth moved and he waved his hands. The Ten Guards leveled their weapons and began to charge at the figure hunched on the ground.

The battle was brutal and gory. The Knights were slaughtered while the figure in white used his long Dragon Sword to battle and destroy them. Before long, the Knights laid on the ground, surrounded by pools of blood and cut or torn body parts. The Moon had disappeared and the Dark Blues and black sky was fading into lighter blues and purples as the White figure gracefully sauntered towards the whimpering king who wriggled in his throne, the fear obviously portrayed on his aristocratic features. As the White figure flicked his wrist, moving the blade cleanly through the King's spinal column and brain stem, the sun began to rise in the background and a golden light filled the throne room.

The Decapitated body of the King slumped as his head rolled onto the floor, the Crown clattering to the ground before rolling and finally settling at the edge of the pool of blood.

The Six onlookers were enthralled in the scene captivated and disgusted as well as shocked by the realism and stunning detail and attention in the moves of the figure.

As he walked towards them in the painting, he turned around revealing that he wore a white mask with two slits for the eyes. It had several scrapes where blades or weapons had scratched it before, but the man was able to cover his face and the hood covered his hair.

Grabbing the King's expensive robes, the Killer slowly wiped the blood from his weapon before sheathing it fluidly and walking towards the viewers, stopping next to the crown before the entire Scene seemed to end, the Painting once again froze.

"W-Wow..." Tonks breathed "That was stunning."

"It was Beautiful yet gross at the same time." Andromeda admired "How... Why?"

"How?" Harry grinned "Magic. And Why? I was inspired by the suits of Armor at Hogwarts. I was working on that for most of the time I was in here." He admitted before taking it off of the Isle.

"What are you doing? Where are you taking it?" Asked Ted.

"I am going to put it in the pile," Harry said before moving towards a back corner of the Library where there were Easily Two Hundred Stacked Paintings which none of them had previously noticed were there.

"Well dang," Sirius exclaimed "What are you going to do with all those paintings? Are you trying to turn our apartment into Hogwarts?"

"No, no, I was going to sell them. I was actually hoping you could get some big rich people together for me, Sirius. You know, the kind with the big checkbooks and Vaults. I am planning on having an Auction, but I want it to be a big event. You know, like maybe rent out the Phoenix Theatre and sell seats at Two Galleons a pop. An entry fee of Five Galleons and the starting bids of every Item I have at Fifty Sickles. I was thinking that because that auction house can seat Seventy Thousand I want at least Fourteen Thousand people there. And the paintings as well as some books that I have collected, as well as rare artifacts I have or have made, and on top of that some of my scrolls."

"I-I thought you were not going to sell the scrolls, Harry. They are too dangerous. And the fact that you made them and you are a vicious little Demon means that they are even more dangerous than you probably let on."

"Come on," Harry rolled his eyes "You make it seem like I am some heartless businessman who has no soul."

"Souls don't even exist," Andromeda said crossing her arms.

"Yeah... I am not even going to begin to explain how wrong you are. But... moving on." He said "Do you think you could send something to the Daily Prophet and set up the dates? I believe it should be a one Day thing during Spring Break. I want to invite people from every corner of the globe and get them to open their checkbooks. I got a Goblin to handle the actual Auction and Money. Riptooth has agreed. I have been setting up some new potions which will be for sale after I get them patented with the Ministry. Also, if you all want, I could set up a food stand and sell food to bring in even more money from the event."

"How would you cook for Thousands of people?" Asked Remus "And doesn't your cooking require you to infuse magic into it? Won't that drain your magic?"

"I already thought of that and have written a friend of a friend who gave me a special... Gift. He let me see a design for making a foci which stores and collects magic over time." Harry smirked as he rolled the green Philosopher's Stone in his pocket. He had taken Nick's designs from the old man and redrew them to benefit his needs "Also, I know a spell which can split myself. It is like the gemini spell except for it separates humans. If I do it, it takes those specfic attributes of myself out of me like the seven sins or different emotions, but it allows me to have over Three Hundred different Me's actually existing at the same time. Once I recall them to myself, they all return to me and I retain the knowledge and experience as well as emotions and physical effects from each different being."

"Isn't that dangerous? What if one of these clones got hurt?" Remus asked, he had always loved Sci-Fi.

"They aren't clones. And it isn't dangerous. Not unless I am under very bad situations which mean that say every single one of them received a wound which takes more than a large quantity of blood from their body. Then, when the returned to me I would feel the blood loss from each on and receive the wound from that me." He paused "But I can make some blood replenishment potions if need be."

"Blood Replenishing Potions are a NEWT Level Healing Potion!" Tonks exclaimed, "I only started learning it from my tutor in November."

"Oh?" He asked "Your tutor must be going at a pretty slow pace if that is what you are learning now. You want to be an Auror, right? You need Five O's on your NEWTS and doing a Blood-Replenishing Potion alone would get you an A on your Practical. Maybe try a Draught of the Living Dead you could get an EE on your NEWT from those two. But, if you want to get an O on the Practical do those and maybe get some Lacewing flies stewed for three weeks, Leeches, Powdered bicorn horn, Knotgrass, Fluxweed picked at full moon, Shredded Boomslang skin, A bit of hair from the person you want to turn into."

"That... That is Polyjuice Potion." Tonks said with scrunched eyebrows "I think my tutor mentioned it before. But would it really get me an O on my Practical Potions NEWT?"

"Hell yeah," Sirius nodded "I did Veritaserum, an Aging Potion, and Felix Felicis and got an O. I got Five O's and Two A's"

"I really think that the Practicals on the NEWT Level exams sound quite easy. The Protean Charm and Patronus are NEWT Level Charms, yet the are simple when one practices."

"You can cast a Patronus?" Asked Remus in shock.

"Yes," Harry nodded "I know that yours is a wolf and Sirius' used to be a dog but is now a wolf. Albus' is a Phoenix, if you were wondering, and Amelia Bones' is a big Manta Ray, Minerva McGonagall's is a Cat just like her Animagus form and after I taught the Weasley Twins', theirs were a paur of Silver foxes."

"You taught Fred and George a NEWT Level Spell?" Lucas exclaimed.

"Among other things..." Harry nodded "They are very good students. But they are more of business partners, not friends."

"You are saying you have taught someone else to do a Patronus, so you can do it?"

"Yes, I can, my Patronus is a Thestral." He admitted while placing a book on the shelf back where it belonged.

"Y-You have got to be joking!" Tonks exclaimed "I have been trying to get that spell the past Three Months!"

"You have?" Harry asked with wide eyes before his face went back to Neutral "Did your Tutor not have good skills with teaching the Patronus?"

"N-No, I didn't ask him about it. I wanted to have that as a back up just in case I can't do the Charms he wants me to do by the time the NEWTS come up. I am training outside of the time I spend with him tutoring me."

"Hmmm..." Harry stared at the bookshelf for a second before going to stand in front of them all "Why are you still all awake? It is for in the morning and you, unlike me, need sleep."

"But what about-"

"No, sleep. Now!" Harry snapped "The lot of you! It is late and tomorrow is Christmas. Get into your beds or I won't give you my gifts when the sun rises in a few hours."

"Night," Lucas said before disappearing.

"Goodnight, my boy." Remus pulled him into a hug, kissing him on the top of the head.

"Night, Prongslet, see you in the morning," Sirius said with a one-armed hug.

"Night!" The Tonkses all said before awkwardly shuffling into the two rooms which had been created with magic for their use specifically. The door on the right was used by Andromeda and Ted while Tonks slept in the room on the right.

It was forty minutes later when Harry was sitting on the Couch in the library, laying sprawled out without his shirt on. He was in his "Public" body because the Tonkses were all in the apartment, but he was still able to relax alone at night despite not being in his true form.

"Wotcher H-Harry?" Tonks gasped standing awkwardly looking at the ripped boy lounging half naked on the couch. For someone as young as him, he was unbelievably jacked. He already had abs!

"Oh!" Harry sat up too quickly and felt his head go a little dizzy and pulled a blanket over the body which was similar to his own except with more porcelain skin where his skin made it obvious he was the son of an Easter Pureblood Family "Sorry, I didn't realize you were awake."

He gazed at her and couldn't help but look over her outfit. A loose grey soft tee shirt which she obviously had no bra under, and pajama shorts was all she had on. It took his Occlumency not to blush as his eyes rose to hers immediately, cursing himself for almost getting caught gawking at her figure. Sirius was right when he had said she had gotten skinnier and more muscular. Her long tan legs were newly shaved and looked like they were a mile long!

"No, it is my fault for not knocking." She shook her head "I had a question."

"Sure, what is it?" He asked.

"It is kind of a few things, but the first question I had is if you could help me cast a Patronus. I have been able to get the silver mist and white whisps, but I haven't managed to cast a corporeal animal."

"Sure, sounds pretty easy. With my Mage Sight, I could also tell you where you need to release your magic to make it easier and make sure you cast the strongest Patronus your magic is capable of."

"The Strongest Patronus? What are you talking about? I thought the Corporeal was the strongest there was."

"Well... You aren't completely wrong." Harry said lightly, wrapping the blanket around him and placing his drawing notebook on the coffee table, closing it as he definitely didn't want her to see what he had just been working on "The Patronus is capable of being several different colors. First is White, then Light Teal, then the usual Blue, then there is Navy a darker than usual which is strong enough to physically interact with the real world, then there is a Purple Patronus which can actually harm a Dementor or Leithfold, and we also have Golden Patroni which are capable of Purifying Dementors and sending their souls to the afterlife Peacefully... Then, there is a Red Patronus, a Patronus which can only be used when the user holds pure and true hatred towards the Dementors or other Dark Creatures."

"How does someone cast a red Patronus?" Asked Tonks.

"One has to have seen someone be kissed by a Dementor or in other cases, killed by a dark creature. This is true for any and all form of Magical being. Even Humans, Elves, or even Dragons. It is more powerful than the Killing Curse and more unstable than the Fiendfyre Curse. Only one person has ever cast it and that was in 1212, the user had watched humans kill his wife in an attack because the Muggles thought she was a Demon. She was a Veela and thus the Muggles believed her a Succubus sent by the Devil. When John Martez, one of the greatest Sorcerers of the times watched as he was chained inside of a jail cell, he watched them rape, torture, and kill his wife of Twenty Seven Years. When he broke out of the cell by accidental magic blowing up the chains, he ran home and grabbed his wand. He felt such hatred, he used one of the spells he had created called the Patronus Charm and he put all his anger and spite into it. His usual Patronus, a Blue Elk had changed. It was a Blood red and its eyes were Black. It rampaged and killed more than Six Thousand Muggles, each one of them had helped or watched them burn Shary Martez before the Red Patronus began to set fire to everything around it. A Patronus is used to call forth a Protector from another plane of existence. When the books all force the rule that we need to call upon our happy thoughts, it isn't because it works better, it is because if we have other emotions it changes the type of Patronus we summon. If someone to be enraged or angry or frustrated when summoning theirs, it may lead to something of the scale of the Great London Fire again. So it is best to always have someone around you to check up on you when practicing."

"W-Wow," Tonks said in shock, she had long since Sat across from him on the couch and had been staring at the fire while he regaled the harrowing tale "I... I never expected there to be such rich history like that. How did you know about that event? It isn't in any book I have ever read and the muggles all think it was an accident."

"That is because I have this..." He stated and stood up, walking to the far bookshelf, he climbed the ladder to the twentieth shelf up and grabbed a leather-bound small journal "The original Journal of John Martez."

"Y-You actually have the real thing? That is hundreds of years old! How did you get it?" Tonks accepted the book, feeling it and touching the artifact in amazement as she felt the cracked leather.

"It is real alright, cost Sirius a small fortune to buy it for my Easter Present. I have no clue how or where he got it from." Harry smirked before taking it and putting it away.

"Now, you need to think of a certain memory where you feel either peace or joy. It should be a memory where you felt immense joy, pleasure, or happiness. A memory which you are able to keep in your mind which makes you feel safe, something which allows you to not feel the fear around you." He said in a soft voice drinking in the soft curves of her face, her Pink Spiky Hair contrasting the innocent looking face. She was so rebellious despite what her true form looked like. Harry was one of the few people who had ever seen what she really looked like, and it meant a lot to him that she would trust him enough to actually be in her true form in front of him. She usually only showed her parents and family. Not even her boyfriends or girlfriends had gotten to see her true appearance.

Despite the rumors about her because of her Metamorphmagus ability, Tonks had been labeled as an object. The fact her name seemed to be synonymous with Nymph or Nymphomaniac, many believed her be reliant upon sex. One of the many reasons she hated people using her given name. Harry himself had purposefully been fairly vengeful whenever hearing someone speak badly or objectifying of her in the hall. Not that the person would ever know who attacked them. Many in the school saw her as a scarlet woman, but in truth, Tonks had sworn off anything more than snogging until she was married. She had even stabbed Charlie Weasley once when he grabbed her bum while they were dating. It was why they broke up. The Dragon Lover wanted to have a little Tonks loving but she turned him down. He kept trying but she still said no. One of the many reasons Harry disliked the name, Weasley.

This didn't stop him from liking and secretly training the Mini Marauder Twins in a room on the fifth floor which was known as their "Laboratory" and he helps them with potions and charms in turn for them showing him their notes on inventions. He helped them with the practical applications of magic and they supplied him with the ideas and inspiration of getting things to work. They had even co-written an article on Transfiguration of solids to liquids that Magic actually get rid of and can truly create Matter because when using Magic, it actually uses magic to fill or empty the gaps in between the atoms with more of the element. Harry filled in the science parts and the Twins wrote up the diagrams, graphs, and took the photographs as well as took measurements. The Twins received Orders of Merlin Fourth Class while Harry received a Transfiguration Association Award of Undergraduate Breakthroughs. It was only spread through higher circles and the twins who received the Medals in the Mail were happy and thanked Harry profusely. Thanks to the Ministry only holding Ceremonies for Orders of over Third Class, the Twins didn't have to tell their parents that they had actually won the Awards. No one but those who read Transfiguration Times, Greatest and Newest Discoveries of our Generation actually heard of their accomplishments.

As he smiled silently, remembering his many research projects, he stared at the teen in front of him. Despite the years separating them, he could tell that she was the girl of his dreams. Not that he would ever tell her that.

Nymphadora Aquila Tonks was someone who he never wanted to see hurt. That is one of the reasons he cared for her so much. Despite her being rough around the edges, she was herself and not afraid to stick up to anyone to prove it. She didn't want other people's approval and she didn't follow stupid rules to please others. He adored her.

As they sat, her eye finally opened and she smiled "I think I have a memory!"

Raising her wand, she did the wand movement perfectly and spoke "Expecto Patronum."

Harry watched as a Silvery Mist poured from her wand.

"Not good enough," Harry chastised "Your memory must have sucked." He told her bluntly "What was it of?"

"It was of my dad teaching me to ride my bike, Asshat." She punched him which caused him to flinch severely, remembering someone much bigger than her and hearing voices inside of his head but she didn't notice. Harry shrank in on himself but Tonks assumed he was simply cold as he was shivering "Do you want me to put another log on the fire?" She asked gently noticing his eyes were closed.

"N-No," He said, shaking his head, he remembered those words from someone else, a brisk male voice which boomed and echoed in his ears "Just... th-think of a better memory." He snapped.

"Harry, are you alright?" She asked calmly.

"I am fine. Just do as I said or we will be here all night," He finally got his mind together, throwing his Uncle and memories of his past out of his thoughts forcefully, locking them deeply... deep within the dungeon of the castle behind hundreds of shields which were too strong to penetrate. It was an even more secure place than Hogwarts and Gringotts. No one would invade his mind. Ever. He could never let anyone know what happened to him "Just... I am sorry, Tonks, just try to focus on something simpler. I apologize for getting angry at you."

"Are you sure you are alright?" She asked in a tone much too patronizing for what he wanted to ever hear.

"I am fine," He glared at her and she was taken aback by how cold his glare was and how fiery his eyes were. The way he had spoken with such malice sent chills down her spine and she turned away before sighing.

"Alright. I will try, but what should I focus on? What is the memory that you use?" She asked.

"It is stupid, just a simple memory, a memory of my mother holding me while my father held Lucas in his arms. James was talking to Luke about how he was able to complete a Raid which got three Death Eaters. Then Mum yanked his ear so he started to talk about quidditch before she asked me what she would do with those two. It is one of the two memories I have of my parents." He said serenly staring into the fire.

"What... What is the other memory?" Tonks asked soothingly.

"It was when Voldemort destroyed the door of Godric's Hollow, and Murdered my father before trying to get my mother to sacrifice herself to become a slave rather than die. He had promised to let her live to one of his followers if she stepped aside. She didnt so he killed her as well. Then, he begun to speak about a prophecy. That fate had it that one of the Potter Sons, either Luke or I would be the only person capable of killing him. He grabbed Luke out of mom's freshly dead arms as I watched from my crib as he sent the Killing Curse at Luke's head. Green filled the entire room... Then thanks to some Ancient Magic Mum had placed on Luke and I, the Killing Curse hit Lucas but didn't kill him, it was redirected across the whole room. It destroyed Voldemort's body before some weird black spirit thing was banished from the room. Luke was dropped and next thing I knew, his forhead was bleeding and then we were picked up and taken away from out parents." Harry had not looked at Tonks' face, he didn't even realize she was crying as he told the story.

"H-How do you remember that?" She asked.

"Dementors are nasty creatures." He admitted "They make you remember some of the most painful experiences of your life."

"When did you meet Dementors?" Gasped Tonks.

"I was Six at the time. We went to Azkaban to pick up Sirius for his trial. Two of the Dementors decided to break the rules and try for a snack. Apparently, they find me interesting. The two were sucking my very soul out for Forty-Seven Seconds before the rest of the group noticed I wasn't walking with them and Remus could cast a Patronus to get them off of me. In those seconds I saw some of my worst memories and to this day that remains the worst experience of my life as they fill your entire body with fear and dread. You experience long forgotten pains and the memories and horrors you have experienced prior to the encounter are all brought back to your surface thoughts and replayed for your mind. Even now, I can remember every memory the Dementors brought up from my past before Remus adopted us."

Tonks didn't have to ask what type of life he had before Remus adopted him, the cold and mature eyes which looked at the raging fire was more than she needed to know. He had lived a hard life from a young age and no matter how pampered or rich he got, his upbringing would scar him forever. Perhaps longer than any physical scar.

"Maybe... Maybe you should try a memory where you are not just feeling happy in the memory, but one which makes you happy thinking about it." He suggested tenderly.

"Alright, I think I have it!" She said in her usually excited voice.

"Expecto Patronum!" She spoke doing the movement, and to her astonishment, a massive Blue Golden Eagle sprouted from the tip of her wand. It flew around the room a few times before landing on the counter and chirping at Tonks, looking at Harry curiously before realizing there was no danger, so it disappeared "Oh My Gods! Harry! We did it!" She exclaimed excitedly tackling him back into the couch.

He felt her wrap her arms around her neck and he instinctually wrapped his own arms around her midsection as she pushed him flush with the couch.

She was Squealing incoherently before letting go and standing up, before dancing around the room, bouncing in her excitement which did absolutely nothing to stop his blush or the fact he was mesmerized watching her body move in was he had never seen. He was sure he would be putting this in his secret Pensieve behind the Bookshelf next to the Window.

"Thank you so much, Harry!" She said breathlessly with a smile which caused his heart rate to skyrocket.

"What was the memory you used?" He asked.

"It was just like what you said, it was us on you boys' birthday over the summer. It was just all of us together being a family and enjoying your amazing food. Oh my God, are you cooking for Christmas?" She asked excitedly.

"Well, Remus wanted to cook the actual dinner, but I can make you a special breakfast if you would like." He gave her a smile.

"Will you do that infuse thing you did before?" She asked.

"Of course, all food is better if it truly does make you feel better." He smiled honestly "Oh, by the way, you said you had another question, right?"

"Oh, I want to get something and open it with you with me. I had a friend give me a gift and he said you could explain it to me. Let me grab it." She disappeared through the doorway completely missing the smirk Harry held.

"Hadrian" definitely knew exactly what to get her and as she walked through the door again, he focussed his features to innocent confusion of not knowing what was in the box.

"So, who is this friend?" He asked "Anyone I need to worry about?"

"Why would you worry about my friends?" She asked.

"Anyone I need to worry about threatening because anyone who gets to date you has to respect and cherish you." He said after realizing he had slipped up.

"You are amazing, you know that, right," She gave a bright smile "But this is from my Tutor. Apparently, he knew that I would be spending Christmas with you because he told me to ask you about whatever is in it."

"Well then, open it up." He said waving her on pretending to be excited.

As she tore open the wrapping, Harry sat next to her with a mirthful expression as she looked confusedly at the herbs and viles.

Putting on his best look of shock, he gasped, drawing her attention and grabbing the stuff "This is super rare, Tonks, whoever this guy is must care a great deal about your progress. I was researching this stuff Two Months ago. I was studying the effects of Magical herbs and ingredients usually only used in potions on the body if used during bathing." He said estutely.

"So you are telling me..." Tonks paused "I am supposed to bathe with this stuff?"

Harry rolled his eyes before organizing the ingredients "There are lots of stuff that is really good for you. If you take a bath with any of these then they will help not only your magic, but bathing with certain things can actually have crazy effects. First, let me explain what each of these things do and what they are." He said.

"Epsom salt is a combination of magnesium and sulfates. There are many benefits of Epsom salt baths. Soaking in a bath of Epsom salt can relax your muscles, reduce inflammation, minimize pain, fade bruising, aid digestion, relieve stress and tension, and detoxify your body." He pointed to the first thing.

"Lavender is one of the most common herbs used in herbal baths. It's great for relieving tension and stress. Lavender's name is derived from the Latin verb "to wash." Romans and Greeks used the herb for its fresh aroma which has both an uplifting and balancing effect." He pointed at the second ingredient.

"His antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory spice is not just popular in India. Research shows that turmeric helps with arthritis by soothing joints and reducing inflammation. Just add a half-cup of turmeric to a warm bath." He indicated to the other.

"A baking soda bath is alkalinizing and detoxifying. It can help calm allergic reactions, chicken pox, eczema, hives, itchy skin, insect bites, poison ivy, sunburn, and fungal infections. There are two methods of making a baking soda bath, one involves purely baking soda itself and the other involves mixing the soda with sea salt. The easiest way is to start running the hot water first then after a couple of minutes add a cup or more of baking soda to the water. The alternative is to mix about 1 cup of sea salt with 2 cups of baking soda, again adding the water first." He said eyeing her reactions which seemed pretty excited so far.

"Eucalyptus Oil is the one right here, it is well known to give relief from sinus infections, blocked nose, common cold, bronchitis, flu and other respiratory diseases. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to your bath for an awesome way to clear those clogged passage ways. Adding eucalyptus oil to your massage oil can have a calming effect on the mind and body. Its rejuvenating properties aid in getting relief from sluggishness, muscle pain, exhaustion, and mental fatigue." He informed her.

"Diluted in a bath, peppermint oil can assist in nervous disorders and is effective for stimulating the mind, focusing, concentration, for treating the respiratory tract, muscular aches, and pains and even for some skin problems." He smelled it and smiled before letting her smell it as well.

"This one, in particular, was interested in my studies." He said pointing to a small vile of reddish-brown liquid "Rose oil is effective in treating depression, insomnia, and is great for maintaining healthy skin."

"Those are all easily enough things to find." He stated "In fact, they are all muggle things which you can find if you look hard enough."

"But what about the rest?" Asked Tonks indicating to the rest.

"Apollo's Arrow is a very rare plant which only sprouts once every three years in seven fields in Australia." He pointed to a jar containing a larg plant "That is a whole flower, stem, and root of one. The Flower Petal is used to rejuvenate the skin and hair. The Stem is to be mashed into goop and mixed with the water, it actually gives the user a perfect tan and allows them to be permanently immune to sunburns. Then there is the root also known by the name Hades' root. When one dices Hades Root, it can be used to increase affinity for sensing Evil Magic. Chop it first into seven even pieces before dicing each segment it into small dices. Each of the seven segments can be used and every time you use it, your ability to sense when malicious magic increases. Each time it increases exponentially."

"Oh my Gods, that is amazing." She looked at the plant in the jar.

"Now," He said picking up the small green liquid "This appears to be Nettles from an Ancient Elven Tree which is over One Thousand Years Old. If you used this, not only would it increase one's balance, aim, accuracy, and musical talent, it would also increase the longevity of the person bathing. Use one spoonful into your bath and each spoonful would be equivalent to gaining another year of life. That is the secret behind High Elf Lifespans."

"N-No way!" Tonks said with wide eyes "You have to be joking!"

"Nope," Harry shook his head before moving on "Now, this one is the sweat of a Fire Lizard. I know, it sounds disgusting, but if you add it to a bath, it will increase your resistance to flames. There is enough in there to probably let you stand in front of a dragon for a few seconds."

"That... You really need to NERF these ingredients, the buffs are totally too OP." She exclaimed.

"The next one is the Saliva of a Unicorn, yeah, I know it sounds gross, but a Unicorn's spit is literally amazing when it comes to magical properties. It is dissolved into the skin and makes the user immune to most every low-level Poisons up until poisons which can kill in under four minutes. It also helps with hair, making it silkier and shinier."

"Then we have the darkest thing here." He said with a serious face holding up a red vile "I don't know how your friend got this." He lied "But promise me you won't freak out when I tell you what this is."

"Um... Sure I won't freak out, okay. What is it?" She asked.

"This is the blood of a Wolf Alpha in his or her Human form." He stated plainly "If it was from the UK, there are only a few and I doubt they would give this to literally anyone freely." He said with intense eyes.

"Wh-What!" Tonks whisper-shouted "Why would he give me that? How would that be used to help me? And why do you know what it is?"

"I know what it is because I worked with it myself. Remus knows a Wolf/Guy who was willing to give me some blood. This, however..." He indicated "Is the blood of an Alpha who is more powerful than Fenrir or Lalu."

"Who?" Tonks asked.

"Fenrir is the Alpha Werewolf who infected Remus. He is the Pack Leader of almost Ten Thousand Werewolves and is one of the most powerful in history. Lalu is the Werewolf in the Forbidden Forest. There are two others. One is Ireland and there isn't enough Alcohol in this blood to be his. So it is the other Wolf Alpha and if your Tutor got the blood of the Wolf God, then this will protect you from any and all werewolves, vampires, or wolves trying to attack you. If you put this in the water of a bath, it would allow you to absorb the sent of an alpha. It would basically be taking the mark of his pack putting you under his protection. If you were to wear this, you would be scented by that Alpha as one of his own."

"Scented?" Tonks asked "I thought that was like a... A Mating thing." She said, her hair turning red as her cheeks flushed.

"Well, yes, I suppose they also mark their mates with their scent." Harry nodded "But think of this as more of perfume to keep monsters who don't want the wrath of the Werewolves upon them. Personally, I bear my own scent as well as the scents of Remus and Sirius and I was given the blood of Lalu to test. He gave it to me as thanks for saving a Unicorn in the forbidden forest. I have the scent of an Alpha as well, so don't be scared that you can get Lycanthropy from that or something. As long as it is not blood from when he was in his wolf form, then you are completely safe. Which it is not as it is Human blood. I can tell from my mage sight, you know. When a human goes into werewolf mode when their Lycanthropy is activated then they glow a Blinding Silver. If you were to bathe with this, I would be able to see a thin Silver Outline around you because you would have the Alpha's Magic and Scent around you. It truly is impressive your Tutor would give you something like this."

"I-I don't even know what to say," Tonks said in shock.

"Well, there is one final thing... I got them from Fawkes, but he was reluctant to give them to me, but with Albus' insistence that I should have some for research, Fawkes gave me a Tailfeather and some Tears to experiment with." Harry produced a Vil which was Three Fourths Empty "Phoenix Tears are not only rare, they are almost impossible to ever get. They are also so powerful and magically strong that I can barely stand to look at them." He informed her "If you add a single drop every bath you take, it will completely heal any wound you have no matter how severe. It will fix any pain inside of your muscles and can instantly heal things like broke bones to even missing fingers. It would take Five drops to regrow an entire hand, but they are dead useful. You will also be able to have slight control over fire and once you use half the tears in there in your baths, I will be able to teach you to Flame Travel. Just like a Phoenix."

"You mean... If I take a bath with this... I will be able to control fire and actually Phoenix Flash?"

"Is that what Wizards call it? I prefer Flame Travel." Harry shrugged "But yes."

"Oh, there also seems to be a card. I will let you read that." He said "I am going to go and grab a shirt so I don't have to awkwardly conceal my torso with a blanket." He said, standing up and leaving her to herself.

As she looked down at the envelope, she smirked at the small words written on the front of it.

"To Tonks - From Hadrian" It was a small message, but it was nice of her tutor who she wasn't even sure if he was alive or not.

As she popped the seal, she slid the slim parchment out of the envelope and began to read the short note.

"Dear Tonks,

Yes, I know that it is probably odd for me to have gotten such a gift, but I do believe they will be useful and will even save the lives of you or the populace of the Magical World in the future. The ingredients were worth the cost after I read the works of Lord Potter, your acquaintance. His study was interesting and I will suggest you listen to his warnings, as he was the one to do the research on how they affect the body Magically and Physically. But I do hope you find use of them and have at least tried some of them before returning to your lessons with me.

I have gotten you some of the basics which were in the Potter boy's notes. They seem like they could be important and could cause a great boon to you in the field. I know that Relieving stress is important and thus, you should do it as often as possible.

Merry Christmas, Happy Boxing Day, Happy New Years, Happy Hols.

Your Friend and Tutor,

-Hadrian"

She folded it back up and slid the letter into the box with a smile. She didn't know how he achieved it, but the gift was probably the most unique and helpful as well as practical she had ever gotten. They would help her so much and having some of those boosts, skills, and secret weapons in her arsenal would make her a force to be reckoned with.

Harry came back in a moment later, sadly wearing a top this time but still had the thick blanket draped over his shoulders. He now carried a tray with the most amazing smelling drinks she had ever set her nose upon. The smell of hot chocolate filled the room and she noticed there was whipped cream and marshmallows as well.

"You really know how to treat a girl, Harry. Keep this up and I might have to keep you as my slave and personal chef." She smiled as she accepted the toasty mug. Outside, it was in the low twenties or upper teens and it was nice to sit by the open fire with hot chocolate and a good friend.

Taking a big sip, the flavor easily matched the smell. It was simply heavenly and her entire body felt as if she was glowing. She didn't feel tired at all and she felt very energetic and ready for anything. But then she felt a warmth spread throughout her body.

"H-Harry! Did you put Firewhiskey in this?" Tonks asked in alarm.

"Yeah, Three shots per every Two cups of Hot Coco." He said unrepentantly taking a sip of the drink.

"This has alcohol in it!" She exclaimed.

"I thought we already established that fact." Harry stated.

"But... You can't drink! You are too young."

"Yes, and you aren't? I thought this was break, it is only three shots, no where near enough to get us drunk. It is just a little buzz. Sirius gave me the key to the liquer cabinet and told me that I had free reign as long as I didn't give Lucas any."

"Why would he do that?" Asked Tonks in astonishment "I am only Seventeen, you know. This is illegal." She took another long sip of the drink which melted her insides and made her yearn for more. It was simply fantastic. It was the best she had ever had and she just kept yearning for more.

"He told me that I was responsible enough to know moderation and when I should or should not stop." Harry smirked "And besides. This is nothing compared to Remus... Nevermind." He smirked and said "So, what was the letter about? Any juicy details?"

"He just said it was to help my training. It was sweet to even give me something in the first place. Let alone something like these! Those magical ingredients are crazy! They have got to at least be super rare."

"They are all Legendary Class except the Fire Lizard Sweat which is Rare High Level Class." Harry said which caused Tonks to almost spit her hot chocolate out. But it was too valuable to lose like that, so she kept the hot liquid in her mouth before swallowing.

"How much do you think this would cost. I don't know how my tutor got money in the first place, let alone got these super duper ingredients." She exclaimed.

"Well, to buy them, Alpha Werewolf Blood last went on sale in 1790 in Auction and was bought by Draxen Lestrange. He bought a single vile for Three Hundred Million Galleons. A Single Phoenix Tear can be purchased at an Apothecary for around Two Thousand Galleons and there are about Two Hundred Tears in that Vile. Apollo's Plant can be bought for about Five Hundred Thousand Galleons, Unicorn Saliva can be found for about Twenty Thousand Galleons for a Vile, the Fire Lizard Sweat for about Ten Thousand Galleons, but then there is the Elven Tree... That is literally invaluable. It is like a miniature Philosopher's Stone. If you were to ask for a Price... I would probably have to trade the entire Malfoy Fortune to have an Even Trade."

"Th-The Malfoy Fortune was at roughly One Point The Five Billion Galleons Last Year," Tonks said, her heart barely working.

"Indeed. But then there are the muggle ingredients. Altogether, you could probably get that stuff for about Thirty Pounds for everything." He shrugged.

"But... But the other stuff! That stuff costs more than I will ever make. Even if I worked my entire life. Oh, My Gods. My Gods... He must have sold Hogwarts to have afforded this stuff! How did he..."

"If it makes you feel better, I have acquired all of these things before through trades and I didn't have to pay. Perhaps your Tutor has ways or means to contact people to which he could provide a service for such ingredients. Does he have any special skills?"

"He could probably take down a Dark Lord... His Occlumency is stronger than Snape's, and he probably knows more than Dumbledore. He also has an entire secret library that no one but me and three other people knows exists at his disposal which he seems to have read the majority of the books out of."

"Well, do you think he could have gotten these ingredients by means other than money?" Harry asked calmly.

"Well... Yeah, I guess. I literally don't even know if he is real or not. Hell, he could be magic rather than human. I don't know!"

"Well, have you asked him?" Asked Harry, hiding a smirk.

"No shit I have asked him-"

"Language, I am still eleven, you know." He said sarcastically.

"Harry, you are more mature than me and I am Seventeen. Shut up about the Swearing thing, kay?" She asked.

"Fine," He rolled his eyes "Whatever you say, Tonksie."

"Oh quit being such a boy," She sighed.

Harry honestly considered legitimately just changing into his female form right then and there just because he could and she said to. His female form, Jane, was rather attractive and fun to be. Especially when he was able to manipulate people easier. Men, for the most part, but women also listen more to women than they do to a man.

"Hey, did you want to open the present from me before the others wake up? It is only six and I don't imagine they will be up for a long time since you all barged in here freaking out and stuff."

"Yes, bring it here." She grinned, packing the magical and mundane bathing herbs and ingredients into the box.

"Wait before I bring my gift, there is one more thing you will most likely want to know about those ingredients." He said in warning.

"What? You sound super serious." She said.

"This is serious, Tonks, and not my Godfather." He chuckled a little before sobering and saying "I wrote all sorts of things in my book which I published about various ingredients that can be used in baths to increase the body. Those that he got you were only a few of the Hundreds which I researched. So look at a few of the combinations and just be warned... If... If you would like to keep your Libido down... Don't mix the Elven Tree, Werewolf Blood, and Apollo Plant in the same bath." His face was lit up like a Christmas tree "It will have effects on the body which will increase stamina and physical features, but it will... Um... Keep the Sex Drive of the affected person at a maximum for Four days before they return to normal."

"What? How the hell did you find that out?" Tonks asked "And what physical effects?"

Harry's blush got brighter before he shook his head "Well let's just said many men and women who want to look like a Veela or get as fit as a Professional Dueler without having to exercise at all may want to use this method, it increases the physical body many times over and gives boosts in agility, stamina, and endurance, but it also increases other Hormones such as Endocrine or Testosterone as well as the chemicals which cause muscle growth and increases digestion allowing you to eat more and get more nutrients from worse food. But it... It basically makes you really Horny all the time."

"How did you figure that one out, you little friend?" She asked.

"Well, after I discovered the Physical boosts, I sent some yo Sirius for him to try because he is still recovering from Azkaban. So he doesn't write for three days and neither does Remus. Remus writes me every day, so I was worried. I get a letter on the Fourth day from his owl, but it wasn't from them, but the Squibb three doors down and he asked me just what I sent Sirius because he had not heard them stop for the previous few days..." Harry smirked "So that is why I warned you, apparently it helps for romps with the opposite or same gender. I would suggest against it though because Padfoot says his animagus form is constantly humping things now."

"How did you know I was practicing being an Animagus?" Asked Tonks with wide eyes and a slight blush from the story.

"Well, I am an Animagus, so I suppose that is a part of it, but I also have Mage Sight." Harry shrugged.

"You are an Animagus?" She asked in shock "Is there anything you haven't done before me? Jeez, did you get trained by Merlin himself and the Four Founders have all passed down their credit cards to you as well as some Ancient Magic which could destroy or save the earth?"

"What terrible sub-plot of a fake version of my life are you reading, Tonks?" Harry asked with a snort.

"Oh, there are plenty of fanfictions about Lucas Potter, I didn't know they made Harry Potter Fanfictions," Tonks smirked, "Oh, and my tutor said that I have two forms which is really rare. Animagus is another trait which is usually passed down through genetics and apparently, Merlin was an Animagus and because Merlin and the Black Line have crossed it is likely I got the trait from that, I might have an extreme aptitude to become an animagus. He said being an Animagus gets you an Automatic O on the Transfiguration NEWT. I asked McGonagall and she said that is what she and Dumbledore both did. I have two forms. A tiny fluffy little rabbit and a Magical Dire Wolf. What is your form?"

"Oh, no you don't. Don't even get started on that. Lucas' rabid fan base is more than enough." Harry shook his head "And wow, that is impressive. A Magical form is very rare. And a Wolf? That is cool. And you sure are as cute as a bunny. I am a Raven which is Ironic, I know, but it is amazing to fly freely whenever I want to. Now, l am going to go grab your gift, so wait here." He stood up and left the room before closing the door quietly.

"I have been waiting for you to grab it, but you just rambled on about those miracle ingredients which give me a way to get not only a good body which will help me with training with Hadrian, but also give me a sex boost for my future Husband... Why would I not want that?" Asked Tonks with a smirk as he walked out of earshot, not being able to hear.

When Harry came back, he carried a small little box which was only a few inches across and a single inch tall. It was a green box with a Red Bow with gold trim. He had tied it himself.

"Wow, nice presentation." Tonks looked it over as she accepted his gift with a smile "I notice that it is small, so you lose points for that... It is not real gold, so you lose points for that, and there is no card. So I have to give it a Nine out of Ten."

"You wanna fight?" He asked with an annoyed expression.

"I'd whoop your ass." Tonks flexed her arm before falling off of the couch because she was imbalanced.

"Wow..." Harry said "Just... Wow."

They stared at each other for a second, Tonks on the ground while Harry stayed on the couch looking down at her.

They suddenly broke and fell into laughter at the incredibility of the fact she had fallen off of the couch.

"That was impressive," Harry said reaching out a hand to help her up.

She grabbed it and went to pull him off the couch as well but found despite the age difference, he was stronger than her.

"What the hell?" She asked, pulling harder "Since when do you work out?"

"I don't," he shrugged, pulling her onto the couch "I play quidditch periodically, though."

"You are telling me you got Abs from Quidditch?" She asked disbelievingly.

"Well, I also fly a few hours a day in my Animagus form." He admitted "It might also give me more strength than normal. It takes quite a bit to keep yourself afloat up in the air."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." She waved him off "Now gimme."

Handing her the gift, he watched her expression carefully as she pulled off the led and removed the tissue paper. When she saw it, her eyes widened at what was contained.

"These... These are beautiful." She spoke breathlessly.

As she gazed down upon the three pieces of fine jewelry, she couldn't help but be amazed.

"They were made in Egypt. I got them from the sibling of an aquaintance. They were made from freshly mined diamonds. They might not be the highest quality, but they are straight from the source."

"Why would you buy such expensive gifts?" She asked, looking at him in shock, her mouth hanging slightly open in a cute display.

"Well, I didn't buy them. I did a favor to him. He was having a bit of trouble and I told him how to fix it in exchange for these. When he sent them, I enchanted them myself at school. The Earrings work similarly to a Foe Glass. When someone in the room has ill intentions towards you, they heat up and begin ta vibrate. And the bracelet, it is a spell I made myself. It is a Magical shield. Put it on and I will show you how it works." He said indicating to the simple Silver Band.

"I can't read the language, what are those words on the face of the bracelet?" She asked.

"Oh... Um, it is Parselrunes." He told her "They are enchantments which, when you touch one of them while thinking about me, they flood you with a certain feeling. The First is Confidence. It is a little different in Parseltongue, but it gives you believe in yourself and your abilities. The Second is Calm. It slows your heart rate and tempers your breathing. And Finally, there is the rage. If you ever need to use it, it fills your body with anger and it allows you to project it towards other people."

"E-Enchantments... Parselrunes..." She looked at him disbelievingly "Just how much magic do you know?" She asked.

"Well, I have been studying for Five Years and I have a better grasp than many people I have met." He told her truthfully.

"I can't believe you got me such amazing gifts... Thank... Thank you, Harry. These might very well save my life." She gave him a wonderful smile and tight hug, which he returned, as well as blushed from.

"But the runes aren't the only thing I added." Harry said, pulling away awkwardly from the hug "Try it on."

Putting the bracelet over her wrist, she stared as it glowed bright yellow before settling down.

"What was that?" She asked in surprise.

"It was bonding to your magic." He said proudly "It is an enchantment I created. It is a MIniature Ward which I created. Focus on the bracelet and say "Shield" and you will see."

"Shield." She spoke uncertainly only to yelp in shock at what happened "Woah! Harry, this... What is this?"

"That is a shield of pure magic." He said "It is very draining, so you should only use it if you are having to block a powerful spell or physical attack, but it will hold against just about anything. With how much magic you have, if you were at full magic you could hold it up for about Fifteen Minutes. But if your Magic was almost completely empty, then you could only keep it up for a short amount of time. I learned the trick to siphon magic from Lucas' Bat and I applied it to that shield. It uses completely pure forms of magic which is why yours is yellow. That is your magic." He said pointing at the shield.

It was an impressive piece of magic, truly. The dome was twice the size of her forearm and covered the left half of her body completely. The magic circle was moving slowly, waiting to defend her from an attack. The runes and symbols which he had made sure the Shield had moved in opposite directions like a ticking clock. It was a relatively small shield as it didn't completely cover her and it was not a Ward, but for the amount of magic used to summon it, it was much more efficient. Especially given the fact that Tonks would be able to block almost every spell known to man if she was able to summon the shield in time. The fact that her inner magic was yellow and very comforting and caring made him smirk.

"Is this something which only I can use, or if I gave it to someone else, would they be able to use it?" She asked.

"Yes, they would be able to use it," Harry nodded "But it would look different for them as their magic is different. Your Yellow Magic is better for a shield. Say, if someone with White or Silver Magic used it, the shield would have different properties and it would take a different shape or size."

"Did you test it?" She asked.

"Of course I did. I wouldn't give it to you if I hadn't." He said.

"Well, what color was your shield?" She asked, turning the shield off and gazing at the amazing bracelet.

"That is confident." He smirked "I can't go around blabbing all of my secrets, Tonksie, dear. If I did, I would never be able to surprise everyone the way that I do."

"Yeah, but it isn't like telling me what your shield looks like reveals some major secret which has consequences or effects on some crazy plot which concerns our very lives." She joked.

"Right..." Harry said, looking directly at the window "Right..."

"Harry..." Tonks spoke quietly.

"Yeah?" He asked.

Jumping forward, she wrapped him in a tight hug, tackling him down again.

"Merry Christmas," She whispered.

"Merry Christmas, Tonks." He smiled, hugging her back. But as he did, he noticed her breathing had slowed. Looking down at her, with her face buried in his chest, he realized... She had fallen asleep with a drunken smirk on her face.

Letting out a groan, he let his head fall back and stayed on his back, giving her a tight squeeze before closing his eyes. Maybe letting him sleep once in a while wasn't such a bad thing after all.
