Harry Potter & The Order of the Midnight Phoenix

Chapter Three - Lillith

The next morning Ginny's eyes fluttered open to a welcome sight, she was still laying up against Harry while he slept. As she watched him sleep she couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead of her, yesterday she was a fifteen year old girl who had good parents, a loving family and a huge crush on Harry Potter, today she had a Mother who betrayed her, a deceitful family and a crush on Harry Potter which had been planted by the use of potions she didn't know she had taken. The only person left who she trusted was the boy who had comforted her last night.

As she came out of her thoughts she realized she had slowly been slipping her face towards Harry's. At that moment she wanted nothing more than to kiss him, to devote herself to him, to follow him to the end of the earth if only to be with him. But she stopped herself.

'No… that's the potions speaking… I have to wait for Harry's potion to take effect…'

To avoid temptation Ginny slipped away from Harry carefully so not to wake him, she then made her way towards the private bathroom connected to the master bedroom.

Ginny quickly made her way to the sink and splashed her face with water to wash the sleep out of her eyes, she then grabbed a towel from the rail next to the sink and dried off her face, when she lowered the towel she found herself looking into a mirror hanging over the sink and her face drained of color when she saw her reflection.

Harry awoke with a start when he heard a shrill scream come from the private bathroom connected to his bedroom. Acting with instincts that had saved his life a dozen times over in the last past years he jumped off the bed and bolted towards the bathroom, as he entered the room he stopped and gaped at what he saw, a young girl he didn't recognize was standing in his bathroom looking at herself in the mirror with horror. She appeared to be around fifteen years old with long black curly hair that came down past her shoulders and violet colored eyes, Harry was about to ask who she was when a spark of recognition shot through him, her hair and eyes had changed and her freckles were gone but other than that her face was exactly the same.

"G-Ginny?" Harry asked

"Harry… what's happened to me?" Ginny asked in a scared tone

"… I don't know… what happened?" Harry asked back.

"I don't know either, I woke up, came in here to wash my face, then I saw myself in the mirror and… and…" Ginny trailed off as she stared at her new face in the mirror trying to control her breathing.

"Ok… just give me a minute, I can figure this out…" Harry said as he started to concentrate on what had happened the night before. As last night's events filtered through his mind he came to the conclusion that only one thing could be responsible.

"… the immunization potion…" Harry realized with wide eyes as the implications flashed through his mind.

"Immunization potion? Isn't that the potion you gave me last night, the one that gets rid of love potions?" Ginny asked

"Yes… but it doesn't just get rid of love potions Ginny, it flushes all potions out of your system and it only takes an hour for the process to finish… Ginny, if your red hair, freckles and green eyes were the result of a potion…" Harry trailed off as a look of realization appeared of Ginny's face.

"No… it can't be… Harry if that's true then… then this is what I really look like? Without any potions?" Ginny asked

"… Yes… I'm not sure how or why but… it's the only explanation that makes sense…" Harry said with a pained look, Ginny had already been through so much only to have something like this dumped on her.

"W-What if… maybe somebody snuck into the room and jinxed me or maybe they…" Ginny was cut off by Harry shaking his head.

"The room is warded, the only way for someone who isn't keyed into them to get in is if they knock the door and I give them permission to enter" Harry explained

"I… I think… I think I need to sit down…" Ginny said in and stunned tone.

"You are sitting down" Harry pointed out, Ginny had sat down at some point in her stunned state

"Oh… good for me…" Ginny said vacantly

Harry kneeled down in front of Ginny and took her hands in his making her look into his eyes.

"Ginny I promise you I'm going to find out what is going on… over the last week a lot has happened, I've lost a lot of trust for a lot of people including Molly, Ron and even Dumbledore… you are one of the few people I still trust Ginny… and I need people I can trust Ginny, more than anything" Harry said with sincerity.

Ginny felt tears running down her cheeks at the sincerity of Harry's words.

"Harry… after what happened yesterday I didn't know who to trust anymore… and you said I could trust you… I trust you Harry, and I swear here and now you can trust me" Ginny can with conviction.

"Thank you…" with that Harry led her back into the bedroom and told her everything, starting with the prophesy Dumbledore had dumped on his shoulders only minutes after losing his Godfather. He explained his meeting the Founders and gaining their knowledge, his trip to Gringotts his plan to form a third group to fight Voldemort themselves and ended by producing a copy of his parents will for her to read. After twenty minutes Harry finished his story and Ginny sat there gaping for a few minutes.

"Ok, any questions?" Harry asked to break the ice.

"When do we leave?" Ginny said without hesitation causing Harry to smile.

"Soon, we still need to sort a few things out but for now we play dumb, we pretend to be under Dumbledore's thumb a little longer."

"Ok… but, Harry if they see me like this then they'll know something is up…" Ginny said as she unconsciously wrapped her arms around her chest is if to hide herself. At this point Harry realized something, Ginny was self conscious about her new body.

"Ginny… you have nothing to be ashamed about, you really don't… you were beautiful before and you're still beautiful now" Harry said while cupping her cheek causing her to smile. A moment later Harry pulled his hand away and waved it over Ginny's face. Ginny felt a prickling sensation throughout her entire body, she looked down and saw her breasts shrink slightly. Her hair turned red and straight instead of black and curly, freckles reappeared on her face and her eyes turned from violet to green.

"You… you turned me back?" Ginny asked as she pulled her hair around in front of her face to see it.

"Kind of… this is just a glamour… I'm not about to force you to be something you're not, I set up a password for this spell, to break the spell just place your right hand over your heart and say 'Show the real me' and you'll turn back, ok?" Harry asked

"Ok, thank you" Ginny said with a smile.

"Right, judging by the smell breakfast is cooking, we'd best make an appearance…" Harry said as he stood up. Ginny let out a snort as she stood up.

"Yeah right, as if I'm really going to eat anything that woman has cooked…" Ginny spat as she walked towards the door.

"Good point… oh and Ginny, if you need anybody else to talk to don't forget, Hermione and Tonks are with us too, you can trust them"

Ginny nodded and walked out of the room with a smile, then she stopped when she remembered something. With them dealing with her changes she had forgotten what Harry had said when he was talking about the Immunization Potion.

Flashback

'… but it doesn't just get rid of love potions Ginny, it flushes all potions out of your system and it only takes an hour for the process to finish…'

End Flashback

"It takes an hour…" Ginny said with a smile as she realized what that meant.

'The love potions are already long gone but I still feel the same way about him… I love him… I REALLY LOVE HIM!' Ginny thought gleefully with a smile on her face.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Molly, Ron, Fred, George, Kingsley, Professor McGonagall and Fleur Delacour were all sat around the table eating breakfast, Moody was sitting in a corner eating a sandwich he had made himself. Ginny walked into the room still dressed in her nightgown, she immediately spotted the plates of food on the table and an expectant look on Molly's face.

"Ahh, good morning Ginny dear, eat up" Molly said with a smile.

Inside Ginny was seething.

'That bitch! After what happened yesterday she thinks we can just go back to the way things were? I don't think so!' Ginny walked past the table and towards the fridge, she opened it and grabbed a fresh pack of sausages which she began placing in a pan to cook.

"Ginny, there's plenty of food on the table Dear" Molly said as she watched her Daughter start to cook some fresh food.

Ginny turned around and shot Molly and venomous look.

"You think I'm going to eat anything you've cooked? That I'll ever eat anything you cook ever again?" Ginny asked. Molly had a hurt look on her face, maybe she had hoped Ginny would let it go. Ron looked angry, Fred and George looked understanding, Professor McGonagall didn't know what to think, on one hand she disapproved of a child speaking to their mother that way, on the other hand she knew Ginny had all the reason in the world to speak that way. Fleur, not having been at dinner the previous night just looked confused.

"Ginny? Iz there something wrong?" Fleur asked cautiously while looking between the girl and her mother.

"Hmm? Oh that's right Fleur, you weren't here last night, well let me give you the cliff notes…" Ginny said as she left the sausages to cook and approached Fleur.

"Ginerva don't you dare, those are family matters!" Molly said with a glare

"Not after what you tried to do to Harry and Hermione it's not…" Ginny said as she glared at her 'Mother'.

"You see Fleur, last night we found out that Molly here has been slipping me, Harry and Hermione love potions. Hermione would fall in love with Ron and me with Harry… but there's more, see my potion also had lust potion and fertility potion, she was trying to make Harry get me pregnant so that she could have control over his money if he dies" Ginny finished before turning back to collect her cooked sausages, as she did she noticed something strange, after what she told Fleur she expected a many different looks to be on her Mother's face, anger, shame, spite, sadness… but when Ginny looked at Molly she was confused by what she saw, nervousness… out of all the other emotions she could feel why would Molly feel nervous? Filing it away for now Ginny proceeded to place her sausages on a plate.

"… the only reason I even know about it is because Harry found out and warned me and Hermione before anything could happen" Ginny continued to Fleur. Fleur was gaping, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, Molly had always struck her as a decent woman.

"Yeah, that's just like Potter isn't it…" Ron spat causing little pieces of food to spray from his mouth and onto the table. "… he couldn't just let me have one girl could he? He could have any girl in Hogwarts but he just had to take mine…" Ron said with a sneer.

Ginny felt anger building up inside her but she held it back remembering what Harry said about laying low, so instead she let out a short laugh as she sat next to Fleur.

"Ron believe me when I say that no girl in the world deserves you…" Ginny said with a smile.

"Thanks" Ron said with a slight smile, not catching the veiled insult

"You're welcome, every girl in the world deserves so much better than you… I mean seriously you chasing after Hermione… no, you chasing after any girl, reminds me of what Harry told me back during the Tri-Wizard tournament when you weren't talking to him, it was just after we saw you drooling over Fleur and trying to impress her… he said 'It's like watching a dog chase after a Firebolt, he'll never catch it and even if he did, he wouldn't know what you do with it'" Ginny said with a smile

Ron face looked like it was going to explode, Fleur had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter, even McGonagall had a small grin on her face, Molly for some reason still looked nervous, this thoroughly confused Ginny, she had expected Molly to say something to stop her from laying into her brother like she had but she had remained silent. Fred and George not having even a fraction of the self control the other had fell of their chairs backward with laughter.

"Oh George, it looks like our ikkle Gin-Gin is all grown up and torturing Ronniepoo all by herself…" Fred said

"… they grow up so fast Fred, I'm so proud…" George said as he wiped an imaginary tear from his eye.

"… yes, anyway brother of mine I believe it is time to perform the act we discussed last night…" Fred said while taking his wand out

"… indeed it is my dear Fred…" George said as he took out his wand.

Both Fred and George stood up and held their wand aloft.

"I Fred Weasley…"

"You're not Fred, I am…" Fred corrected.

"Oh yeah… I George Weasley" George said.

"I Fred Weasley…" Fred said

"… Hereby swear on my life and magic that I had nothing to do with Molly Weasley's plans to give love potions to Ginerva Weasley, Harry Potter or Hermione Granger, neither did I have any knowledge of what she was doing until last night, so mote it be…" they said together as a flash of light washed over them.

Ginny smiled as she jumped up from her seat and grabbed the twins into a hug wrapping her arms around their necks.

"Thank you…" Ginny said sincerely.

"No problem Gin-Gin, there's no way we could ever hurt you…" Fred said with a smile

"… yeah, you're our favorite sister after all, I know your our only sister but still…" George said.

"Thanks anyway boys, but remember this…" Ginny said as she gripped the back of their necks causing them to wince.

"… don't call me ikkle Gin-Gin again, or else" Ginny said with a smile before letting them go and going back to her food. Ginny watched, amused as Ron continued eating while his face changed colors as his anger grew as Ginny finished her Sausage sandwich Ron finally blew.

"Why the hell does he get everything!" Ron suddenly burst out making everyone just back in their seats. "He gets money, fame, girls constantly fawning over him, he gets to be in the paper, he gets the best broom in the world, he get to be seeker when he's a first year when nobody else even got the chance and why? Just because he's got a stupid scar on his head!" Ron shouted the last few words.

Ginny's anger had been building up since the very beginning of Ron's rant, she got angrier and angrier with each thing Ron said, finally with the comment about Harry's scar she burst. Ginny stood up and grabbed the sharp knife Molly had used to cut the loaf of bread, before anybody could blink Ginny grabbed Ron by the hair and pulled his head back hard enough that it thudded against the backrest of his chair, he was facing upwards as she placed the tip of that knife lightly against his forehead while keeping hold of his hair.

"You want a scar that badly? Keep talking about Harry that way and I'll carve one into your forehead…" Ginny spat through her teeth as she pressed the knife lightly against his head, not enough to cut him but more than enough for him to feel it, with the knife against his head and the look in Ginny's eyes Ron immediately pissed himself.

"GINNY! PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN THIS INSTANT!" Molly screeched

"Listen to what I am about to say Ron and remember it… Never, insult, Harry Potter, in front of me" with that said Ginny pulled the knife back and stabbed downwards, the knife stabbed the chair right between Ron's legs causing him to let out a yelp.

Everybody in the room was stunned and simply didn't' know what to say, Moody couldn't help but smile at Ginny's use of fear tactics, he had stealthily been touching his wand ready to disarm her if she showed any signs of actually attacking Ron, but having been in the Auror corps for a long time he had learned to read body language very well, all Ginny wanted to do was scare him.

The twins were the first to snap out of their shock as he noticed where the knife had hit.

"Ohh, nice shot Ginny…" Fred said with a smile

"… indeed, perfect aim" George finished with a similar grin

Ginny looked confused as she looked between the knife and the twins.

"Huh? What are you talking about? … I missed…" Ginny said trying to hold back a grin.

Ron's eyes went wide for a moment before fainting. Fred and George looked at each other for a moment before bursting out with laughter. As Ginny sat back down she looked at her mother and was confused again, she still looked nervous and she kept shooting glances towards Fleur.

'Ok what is going on… not too long ago she's snapping at me, but now I insult Ron and threaten him with a knife and besides that first screech she doesn't even blink, she's just sat their looking Nervous ever since I told Fleur about the love potions… oh god!…' Ginny's eyes went wide as she remembered something, Fleur was dating Bill.

Ginny quickly leaned over to Fleur and whispered.

"Fleur, I know this may sound weird but.. Can I have one of your hairs? But don't let anyone see you" Ginny whispered carefully not to let Molly hear her.

Fleur looked a little confused but complied, she discreetly brushed her hair back and passed a stray hair to Ginny under the table.

"Thank you" Ginny said before standing up and walking out of the room to go find Harry.

Meanwhile Hermione was going through her mourning ritual, she was sat in the library with her legs tucked underneath her and the large book Tonks had given her the day before open on her lap. On a small table next to her she had two pieces of toast and a cup of tea.

As she continued reading Tonks entered the room, saw the book and smiled, she took a seat across the room from Hermione.

"So, what do you think?" Tonks asked.

Hermione looked up and noticed Tonks for the first time.

"I think the laws of the wizarding world are monstrously out of date…" Hermione said with disdain.

"Yep… did you check out the marriage laws surrounding Harry like I said?" Tonks asked

"Yes, I did and I think it's completely barbaric… it's forcing Harry to take more than one wife… the only way Harry can avoid being forced into a marriage is if he can find wives himself to fill the… quota" Hermione winced at the last word

"Yep… so we just need to make sure Harry finds girls who like him for him and not for his money or fame…" Tonks said

"As hard as it is for me to say this, but…Easier said than done" Hermione said

"Not really, I mean we already know two…" Tonks said with a smile

Hermione looked confused for her part.

"We do? Who?" Hermione

"Me… and you" Tonks said with a smile.

"Wh-What?… I'm n-not, you…" Hermione stuttered but couldn't stop a blush from creeping up on her face.

"Don't give me that Hermione… I saw the way you looked at him in the hallway yesterday and I've liked him for well over a year" Tonks said with a smile

"You like him? But I t-thought you and Professor Lupin…" Hermione started only to be cut off by Tonks

"Oh eww… nonono god no, why does everybody think that?" Tonks said with a grimace

"Well I knew you and he hung around each other a lot last year" Hermione said

"So? A man and a woman can't be friends without… that… I mean no offence to Remus but, he was a friend of my dad's in school for goodness sake, when he visited my parents I called him Uncle Remmy…" Tonks explained

"Anyway, I'm getting off topic… if you like Harry you should let him know…" Tonks said with conviction

"Not that easy… what am I supposed to say?" Hermione asked with a blush on her face.

"Who says you have to say anything? Just take him by the hand, lead him to your bedroom and shag him" Tonks said with a smile

"T-TONKS!" Hermione said with a shocked look on her face "I c-can't do that… we're too young and it would be completely inappropriate" Hermione argued.

Tonks shook her head I annoyance.

"Jeeze, Hermione don't take this the wrong way but you are being such a Muggleborn right now…" Tonks said

"What!" Hermione looked shocked

"Don't get me wrong, I don't believe an inch of that Pureblood supremacy crap, but even I think the Muggle's attitude towards sex is ridiculous… I don't go around sleeping with everyone I meet but if I like someone and they like me and we know each other enough then why not?… but the Muggles they think it's something shameful, something that should never be mentioned and don't even get me started on the ones who're saving themselves for marriage…" Tonks said as she sat forward

"… The fact of the matter is Hermione, in the wizarding world being a virgin is dangerous! Do you have any idea how many dark rituals there are that require the sacrifice of a virgin witch? Hell, a lot of Witches lose their virginity before they finish school if only for their own safety… myself I lost my virginity in my Dorm room during my fourth year at Hogwarts…" Tonks said with a smile at the memory

Hermione had been growing redder and redder in embarrassment as Tonks had continued, but now she stood up with a triumphant grin on her face.

"AH-HAH, now I know you're making it up!" Hermione said with a smile.

"Oh really?" Tonks asked with a smile, she had a feeling she knew what Hermione was going to bring up.

"Yeah, you said you lost your v-virginity in your dorm room but that's impossible, boys can't get into the girls dorms, the staircase turns into a slide if they try" Hermione said with a triumphant smile.

Tonks had a mischievous grin on her face as she stood up and walked over to Hermione in a way she reserved for lovers, she placed a hand on Hermione's shoulder as she walked around behind her

"Oh Hermione, you're being naïve…" Tonks said as she wrapped her arms around Hermione's tummy from behind her making her stiffen.

"… I said I lost my virginity in my dorm room…" Tonks said as she rested her chin on Hermione's shoulder from behind and raised her right hand to cup the underneath of Hermione's left breast softly making Hermione let out a surprised gasp.

"… I didn't say anything about there being a boy involved" Tonks said saucily while giving a soft but firm squeeze to Hermione's breast. Not expecting it Hermione let out an involuntary moan before slapping her hands over her mouth in shock. Hermione had never before thought about being like 'that' with another woman but she now unexpectedly found herself incredibly turned on at the thought.

Tonks smiled in triumph before letting go of the embarrassed girl and walking towards the door.

"W-Wait… if it's that easy to show Harry our feelings, than why don't you do it?" Hermione asked in an attempt to embarrass Tonks like she embarrassed her.

Tonks turned to face Hermione and grinned.

"Because I'm still slightly sore from the last time I showed him how I felt" Tonks answered with a smirk Hermione's jaw hung open in shock.

Hermione opened her mouth to say something but was cut out by a loud voice booming throughout number twelve Grimmauld place.

"MOLLY WEASLEY!"

Tonks and Hermione were shocked by the voice but were able to recognize it, it was Harry, they both shared a look before running out the door to find Harry.

V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V

After leaving the Kitchen Ginny immediately searched the house to find Harry, she needed his help to prove her theory, Fleur's hair was securely wrapped in a piece of cloth in her pocket. After a few minutes she spotted Harry coming out of Buckbeak's room.

"Ginny? What's up?" Harry asked when he saw her face, she was still in her nightgown.

"I need to speak with you in private" Ginny said

Harry nodded and quickly lead Ginny back to his room.

"Ok, nobody can come in here and nobody can hear us" Harry assured her.

"Ok, well… you know how you said we had to play dumb and act like nothing changed?" Ginny asked

"Yeah…" Harry said cautiously

"Well… I kinda blew up at breakfast" Ginny said quickly with a hint of shame

"What do you mean?" Harry asked worriedly

"Well at breakfast Ron started ranting on and on about how you get everything and he gets nothing, he said some nasty things about you and your scar…" Ginny said while looking down.

"… and what did you do?" Harry asked

"… I grabbed a knife and said if he wanted a scar that badly then I'd happily carve one into his head… he pissed himself" Ginny added with a smile

Harry let out a laugh at that thought.

"Ginny it's ok… just so long as you don't let slip about the founders, my parent's will or my new group then it should be ok…" Harry said with a smile "… there is one thing though, you've never acted like that before, I mean you've got one hell of a temper but this was different right?" Harry asked

Ginny nodded

"Yeah, never… and when I held the knife, I liked it, it felt natural" Ginny said in confusion

"Damn it…" Harry said with a shake of his head as if he was expecting something like this

"What? What's wrong?" Gnny asked

"I was worried about this earlier but I didn't mention it because I didn't want to worry you if I was wrong" Harry said cautiously

"Harry, after what I've been through so far, the love potions and my new body… just tell me, please" Ginny said

"… it's possible your old personality was also caused by potions… before today you never would have held a knife up to Ron or back talked to your mother, but because of the immunization potion…" Harry explained

"Then any potion that was manipulating my personality would have been washed away too… so the way I'm acting now is the way I always should have acted…" Ginny finished with anger in her eyes.

"Yeah, even your thoughts would have changed, for example, what are you thinking right now?" Harry asked.

'I want you to slam me up against the wall, rip my panties off from under my nightie and shag my brains out as hard as you can while I scream your name…' Ginny thought

"Just… stuff" Ginny said with a shrug and a blush

"Well, whatever that stuff is you might not be thinking it if you still had that potion inside you"

Ginny looked upset at the thought of not being able to think how she wanted.

"I'm sorry Ginny" Harry said with compassion

"You've got nothing to be sorry about Harry… but anyway that's not the main reason I came to find you, something else happened at breakfast, I told Fleur about the love potions that Molly tried to sneak us and afterwards Molly looked very nervous… and she just sat there while I chewed Ron out and held a knife up to him with the same look on her face while glancing at Fleur" Ginny explained

Harry's eyes widened in anger at what Ginny was insinuating.

"Ginny I need…" Harry was cut off when Ginny held up a piece of cloth with a long blond hair laying on it.

"Hermione told me how you found out I had love potions in me" Ginny explained.

Harry smiled at her initiative and took the hair before moving towards his bag hanging off the headboard of his bed, he reached in and pulled out a vial of clear liquid, he popped the cork and slipped the hair into the potion before re-corking the potion and shaking it. After a few moments of praying they were wrong the potion turned a fluorescent pink.

"Damn it… DAMN IT!" Harry screamed in anger as he turned around punched the wall causing a sizeable dent.

"How many?… How many people is Molly messing with?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"… and she's a Veela too, thus us really bad… Ok, that's it! Now I'm pissed" Harry said before walking towards his dresser, he immediately started rummaging through the drawers throwing Sirius's clothes out all over the place looking for something.

Ginny moved to the side to dodge an incoming pair of socks.

"H-Harry what're you doing?" Ginny asked after ducking

"I'm about to lay into Molly Weasley and save Fleur Delacour from a fate a Veela considers worse than death and I'm not going to do all that dressed like this, if I'm going to save the wizarding world then I'll do it in style, thus I'm going to need a decent shirt" Harry said while rummaging through the clothes after grabbing a black t-shirt and a pair of boxers and socks he walked past Ginny towards his walk-in wardrobe.

"To hell with the hand-me-downs, it's time to put on a show…' Harry said with a smile as he pulled off his old shirt and unzipped his jeans.

"Y-You're changing now?" Ginny said with a blush as he stripped

"Turn your back if it embarrasses you" Harry said with a smile and a shrug as he pulled down his jeans.

Ginny thought about it for a moment before deciding not to turn around and continued to watch with red cheeks and a smile.

Five minutes later Harry was finished, he wore a pair of black loose jeans, they looked like smart trousers, you wouldn't notice they were denim unless you looked hard, he wore a black undershirt covered by a white button-up shirt with the top button undone, finally he wore a light black jacket that came down to his lower hips. The only thing that was missing from the businessman look was a tie yet despite that the clothes still looked easy to move around in.

"So, how do I look?" Harry asked with a smile as he brushed his hand through his hair.

Ginny stood there with wide eyes, a moment later she moved forwards wrapped a hand around the back of Harry's head and pulled him down her face, their lips met in the middle and they immediately started to kiss, Harry was surprised for a moment before kissing back. After their need for air overrode their hormones they separated and smiled at each other.

"Does that mean I look good?" Harry asked with a smile

"Yeah… and I'm really starting to like this new me, she actually has the guts to go after what she wants…" Ginny said.

"… and what does the new you want" Harry asked with a grin

"You" Ginny answered forcefully and without hesitation as she pressed her body against Harry and kissed him again. This kiss only lasted for a few seconds before Harry pulled back much to the disdain of Ginny.

"As much as I'm enjoying this, I still have a job to do right now…" with that said Harry separated from Ginny and walked back to his bag which was laying on bed, he grabbed a few vials and placed them in his pocket and then placed his wand in the inside pocket of the jacket.

"Ok… now I'm missing something, what is it?" Harry pondered as he turned around looking for something.

"Ah!" Harry said as he spotted his glasses laying on the bedside table, he ran his hand over them for a moment before placing them on his face.

"What did you do to them?" Ginny asked

"Took away the prescription in them, they're just normal glass now… I used a spell last night to fix my eyesight so I don't need them anymore…" Harry explained

"If you don't need them anymore then why bother keeping them" Ginny asked

"They make me look clever…" Harry answered with a toothy smile "… besides, wearing them will help keep up the pretence that I haven't changed that much, ok time to go, ready?" Harry asked

Ginny smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little underdressed though" Ginny said as she looked down at her nightgown.

"That's ok, I think you look good underdressed…" Harry said as he walked past her towards the door, he stopped after a few steps when he realized what he had said.

"Umm… you know how you say something in your head and it sounds fine but then you say it out loud and mmmph" Harry was cut off by Ginny kissing him again.

"I know what you meant Harry, thanks" Ginny said with a grin.

"Ok, lets go put on a show" Harry said before turning and walking to the door.

Harry walked out of the room with Ginny trailing not far behind, he rushed down the stairs not taking care not to wake the portrait of Mrs Black. The curtains burst open and Walburga Black took a deep breath to begin screaming when Harry waved a hand at her and a zipper appeared on her mouth.

"Shut it!" Harry said nonchalantly as he waltzed past

Ginny stopped for a moment to gape at what Harry had done before following after him with a laugh.

Harry burst into the meeting room the order of the Phoenix used and sure enough saw almost everyone who was already awake sitting at the main table talking. Molly, Ron, Fred, George, McGonagall, Snape, Fleur, Kingsley, Mundungus, Hestia and Moody were sat in different places in the room.

Harry's bursting through the doors caused everybody to look his way and see his new look, Moody almost cursed him when he didn't immediately recognize the boy, Ron fumed with barely concealed jealousy, Hestia actually blushed.

"MOLLY WEASLEY!" Harry shouted while unconsciously channeling some magic into his voice to make the shout reverberate throughout the house. Molly shrunk back into her seat.

"We need to talk…" Harry said as he slowly stepped forward.

"A-Ab-About w-what?" Molly squeaked

"About this" Harry said as he held up a small glass vial containing a glowing pink liquid

"What is it" Molly asked

"This is a potion designed to test if a person is dosed with love potion, it's how I found out Ginny was dosed, all it requires after brewing is a piece of the person I need to test, a drop of blood, a nail clipping… a hair…" Harry said while casting a quick glance towards Fleur to catch her reaction, her eyes widened in horror when she remember that she had given one of her hairs to Ginny for some reason that until now was unknown to her.

At the beginning of Harry's explanation of the potion Hermione and Tonks entered the room and stood in the doorway after having heard his shout and tracked him down, after seeing his new look Hermione had a blush on her face and Tonks just bit her bottom lip and smiled.

"… if there is no love potion then the liquid remains clear like water but if there is love potion present then it glows a fluorescent pink… so Molly, can you guess who's hair is in here?" Harry asked rhetorically

Molly was shaking, with anger or fear was unknown after a few moments it was clear that Molly wasn't going to answer so Harry spoke up.

"The hair is Fleur's" Harry revealed

Fleur let out a sob as she held her hand over her mouth. Harry looked at Ginny and gestured towards Fleur with a nod of his head, Ginny understood and walked around the table to comfort Fleur.

"Now, seeing as she's dating Bill it's pretty obvious that the potion was in tune with him but there is one thing I don't understand… you don't like Fleur, you've made that very clear ever since the Tri-wizard tournament, so why did you give her a love potion? You tried to get me with Ginny and Ron with Hermione, both of those make sense but why Fleur?" Harry asked curiously.

Molly remained quiet

"Molly, you need to start being honest…" Harry said as he leaned close to her and whisper the next part for her alone to hear. "… or should I test Arthur's hair next?"

Molly's eyes widened as he whispered to her.

"It was an accident…" Molly answered immediately

"An accident? How could you have given her a love potion by accident?" Harry asked with thorough confusion.

"We… some of the order members were having a few drinks, it was the day she joined the order, I put the potion in a drink…" Molly stuttered

Harry's eyes widened in realization.

"So that's it, Fleur took the wrong drink… so now the question becomes, Tonks or Hestia?" Harry asked Molly.

Both Tonks and Hestia perked up at the mention of their names

"What do we have to do with this?" Hestia asked with confusion.

"Elementary my dear Hestia. Molly said she was having drinks with order members when Fleur drank the potion by mistake…" Harry explained "…so the one Molly actually tried to give the love potion to must have been a female member of the order, that narrows it down to Tonks, you or professor McGonagall and I don't think she would have tried to set up her son with Professor McGonagall… no offence Professor" Harry said apologetically

"None taken Potter" Minerva said with a small smile as she watched the scene unfold.

"So, that brings us back to my question, Tonks or Hestia?" Harry asked

Both Tonks and Hestia were glaring at Molly waiting for her answer.

"… N-Nymphadora was supposed to drink it, not that… thing!" Molly said with a sneer as she looked at Fleur.

Tonks looked outraged, Molly had tried to slip her a love potion too, Hestia looked relieved at it not being her but still angry at the same time, Fleur had stopped crying after Molly had called her a 'thing' and now her eyes blazed with anger, she stood up and slammed her hands down on the wood table while glaring at Molly.

"Thing? How dare you! Veela are proud creatures and we take love very seriously, it horrifies me to think that I nearly gave myself to somebody I did not truly love, Veela are not like everybody make zem out to be…" Fleur spat as the wood under her hands started to smoke as her Veela power seeped through.

"We don't sleep around with every man we see, we find one man to love and cherish and once mated we are bound for life… to bind ourselves to somebody we do not love is, it goes against everything we believe in, I would rather take my own life… and you almost forced me to do that you horrible chienne, je ne peux pas décider si je dois dire à mon père à ce sujet et laissez-le vous enfermer dans Azkaban ou vous défier en duel afin que je puisse prendre soin de moi-même!" Fleur slipped into her native tongue in her anger

Harry smiled as he heard what Fleur said, she threatened to either tell her father so he could lock Molly in Azkaban or challenge her to a duel so Fleur could take care of her personally.

"Personnellement, j'irais avec le duel, je peux juste imaginer sa courir en essayant d'éviter des boules de feu" Harry said with a smile in perfect French causing everyone's head to snap towards him in shock, none more so than Fleur. Harry had suggested a duel as it would be amusing to watch Molly run away from fireballs.

"Harry, you can speak French?" Hermione asked in shock.

"Rowena" Harry answered simply

Hermione had to stop herself from slapping her own forehead for her stupidity, she had forgotten that Rowena Ravenclaw had given Harry a multitude of languages.

"Thank you for the suggestion, I may just do that" Fleur said with a slightly evil smile at Molly

"Cool, let me know when, I'll bring popcorn" Harry said with a smile

Everybody who didn't know French looked on in confusion while the few who did understand what Harry had said were smirking, this included Tonks, Hermione, Minerva and surprisingly Snape.

"Anyway, back to business Molly, from this point on I will not tolerate love potions in this house…"

"This isn't your house!" Ron spat finally saying something

Ginny reached forward and took up a knife from the table and twirled it in her hands while shooting a glare at Ron, Ron saw this and immediately shut up his throat suddenly very dry.

"It's Sirius' house, so until the Will reading you can consider it mine… furthermore you are not allowed to prepare food or drink for anybody other than yourself or Ron, if I even see you pouring a glass of water for somebody else then I will personally toss your arse out of this house faster than you can say 'Fireballs'…" Harry finished.

Everybody who understood what Harry had said in French smirked at the reference.

"Understood?" Harry asked with a glare

Molly didn't say anything, she just nodded, still afraid that Harry would carry out the threat he had whispered to her.

"Good…" Harry said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out three vials of clear liquid, one had a slightly misty tint to it. He tossed the two clear ones to Fred and George.

"Those are the same potion I used to find the love potion in Ginny and Fleur… use them to test Katie and Angelina next time you see them, better safe than sorry" Harry explained

Fred and George looked worried over the prospect that their girlfriends might be under the influence of love potions but after what they had found out about their mother Harry was right, better safe than sorry.

"Thanks Harry" Fred said as he slipped the vial into his pocket and George did the same.

Harry gave the misty potion to Fleur.

"That potion will get rid of the love potion that's in your system… I gave Ginny the same thing last night" Harry explained

Fleur looked at Ginny for conformation, Ginny nodded in assurance. With that done Fleur popped the cork and took the potion in one gulp. Then she stood up and wrapped her arms around Harry's neck in a hug which Harry returned.

"Merci mon ami" Fleur said into Harry's ear

"You're welcome Fleur" Harry replied

Harry separated from Fleur and walked towards the door, as he did he noticed something in the corner of his eye.

"Mundungus, I trust that's not Sirius' silverware you're slipping into your pockets…" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow

"Oh? O-Of course n-not Harry" 'Dung stuttered as he tried to make a quick retreat out the door only to be stopped by Tonks who grabbed his by the scruff of his jacket as he ran past and pulled him back into the room throwing him towards the table.

"One chance, put it all back now" Harry warned

"B-But Harry I haven't…" Mundungus tried to weasel his way out.

"Ok you had your chance now we do it the hard way…" Harry said as he flicked his hand upwards.

Suddenly Mundungus flew into the air upside-down. Snape had a sour look on his face as he recognized the spell used, but everybody else was stunned as Harry performed a spell without words or a wand, simply a gesture of his hand.

"Waahh… let me down, let me down!" he shouted as things started to pour out of his obviously enlarged pockets. Knifes, forks, spoons, a silver candlestick, a mug, a locket and several other things, after a minutes upside down Dung's pockets were finally empty.

"Try that again and I will personally feed you to Buckbeak piece by piece…" Harry warned as Dung dropped to the ground unceremoniously.

"Y-Yes sir Mr Potter sir…" Dung said with a white face as he an from the room.

Harry looked over the stuff that had fallen out of Dung's pockets and his eyes stopped when he eyes rested on the locket, it had a green 'S' engraved on it, but the entire locket had a bad feeling about it, but the feeling was somewhat familiar as well, Harry picked up the locket and quickly pocketed it, he would take a closer look at it later.

"Well then, now all that business is dealt with, I think I'm going to get something to drink…" Harry excused himself from the room leaving everyone in there stunned by everything that had happened.

Molly let out a breath of relief as he left the room followed soon after by Hermione and Ginny, Tonks however walked over to Molly and leaned down to her.

"Don't think for a second you're off the hook Molly, you tried to drug an Auror with a love potion and I'm going to make sure you pay for it one way or another…" Tonks spat angrily before walking out of the room.

Tonks entered the kitchen and saw Harry making himself a cup of tea.

"Hey Harry, love the new look… but what was with the show you just put on? I thought we weren't supposed to draw attention to ourselves until it was time to blow this joint…" Tonks asked as she leaned against the counter.

"Some things back there had to be said, besides when I said lay low I was talking about you, not me… if it comes right down to it I can take care of myself but if Dumbledore suspects you're all working with me then it could cause a problem, Dumbledore thinks I'm still alone right now, he doesn't know I have allies and that is what I want to keep from him… now if everything goes to plan we should get out of here in about a week, just after my birthday and after Sirius' Will reading" Harry explained

"Where will we go?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Don't worry, I have a place we can make our base…" Harry trailed off when he saw Snape walking into the room.

"Potter, the headmaster wishes to see you" Snape said with a sneer

"Ok, tell him I'll meet him in the library in twenty minutes" Harry said

"Now Potter!" Snape spat

"How's the nose?" Harry suddenly asked

Snape shook with anger as he remembered the broken nose Harry had given him the day before.

"We're not in school Snape, I don't cater to Dumbledore's whims or yours and I don't move according to his timetable… tell him I will meet him in the library in twenty minutes" Harry repeated

Snape's hand twitched, he wanted to draw his wand and curse Potter this very instant, instead he turned around and stalked out of the room.

"Good boy" Harry mumbled as he took a drink from his cup.

V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V

Twenty minutes later Dumbledore walked into the library and saw Harry sitting at a table with his feet up waiting for him. Dumbledore looked at Harry appraising his new look.

"Good morning Harry, how are you feeling today?" Dumbledore asked cautiously.

"How am I feeling? Angry, Sad, Liberated, Horny… it really depends on the person I'm in the room with, as for how I'm feeling right now… I feel curious…" Harry said with a grin.

"I see… Harry, Severus has told me about what happened here last night and earlier this morning, I am disappointed to hear how you have been acting towards Molly and your friend Ronald"

"You're disappointed with me? She's the one who's been drugging people with love potions and Ron was helping her" Harry argued

"I believe that Molly was doing what she believed was right for her family…" Albus said with a smile.

"What a load or crap… what she did was for her own benefit, so she could build her own perfect little family that she controlled, and she doesn't care who she hurt in the process" Harry argued back.

"I see… and what was your reason for sabotaging your friend Ronald's relationship with Miss Granger?" Dumbledore asked.

"Relationship? He tried to drug her a love potion… their relationship is akin to that of a rapist and their victim, is Ron even touches 'Mione in the future I'll personally snap his arm"

"Well Harry maybe you…" Dumbledore began again

"Ok stop… if the only reason you asked to speak with me is to continue reprimanding me then you can leave now, if you have any real questions to ask then ask them" Harry said getting annoyed.

"Yes, I would like to know where you got these potions you've been using and how you levitated Mundungus without your wand" Dumbledore asked while looking into Harry's eyes.

Harry felt a brush against him Occulmency shields and smiled. Dumbledore frowned when his Legillimency probe hit a wall with a sign saying 'Keep Out - No Dark Lords Allowed'.

"Well, after realizing that I'm going to have no choice but to face Voldemort I decided to train myself to use some wandless magic… as for the potions I made them at Prison, oh… sorry, Privet Drive. Brewing potions does not count as underage magic' Harry lied smoothly.

"I see… well Harry I have some other things to attend too so if you'll excuse me…"

"Who is Ginny Weasley?" Harry asked interrupting Dumbledore

"What do you mean Harry? You know who Ginny Weasley is" Dumbledore said in confusion

"When I was back at Hogwarts I read up on a spell that replicates an ability called Aura sight, it let's the user actually see magic see it's effects on people I used the spell and I noticed something wrong with Ginny… I read up on the history of the Aura sight and found out that in the last century only three people have the ability naturally, Nicolas Flamel, Ollivander and you… that's how you can see through my invisibility cloak… so that means that you've seen what's wrong with Ginny too" Harry lied, he knew about Aura sight and knew Dumbledore had it but he never used any spell that could replicate it.

Dumbledore looked worried

"Tell me Harry, when you looked at Miss Weasley what did you see?" Dumbledore asked nervously.

"… she had black curly hair, no freckles, violet colored eyes and… a fuller chest" Harry said the last part reluctantly.

Dumbledore was inwardly cursing, he couldn't let Ginny Weasley know the truth so he had to shut Harry up somehow.

"Very well Harry, I'll tell you the truth about Ginerva Weasley on one condition, you make a magical oath never to tell what I am about to tell you to Miss Weasley" Dumbledore said while giving himself a mental pat on the back, he would let Harry know but stop him from ever telling Ginerva while also winning some of Harry's trust for giving him the information.

Harry nodded in agreement to Dumbledore's terms and took his wand out, holding it alof the spoke…

"I Harry James Potter swear on my life and magic that I will never reveal to Ginerva Molly Weasley what Albus Dumbledore tells me in this room today, so mote it be" a flash of magic flowed around Harry sealing the oath.

"Thank you Harry, now before I tell you the truth you must understand what I did was for the greater good…" Dumbledore said as he took a seat across from Harry.

"Many years ago there was a girl who attended Hogwarts, she was a model student who came from a pureblood family yet had no belief whatsoever in the pureblood prejudice that plagues the minds of many.. however shortly after graduating Hogwarts she married a death eater and became one herself… fifteen years ago shortly after the fall of Voldemort she was captured by Aurors and along with her husband and brother-in-law was sent to Azkaban…" Dumbledore explained

Harry recognized the story and realized who Dumbledore was talking about

"Bellatrix Lestrange" Harry said

Dumbledore nodded grimly

"Yes… when she was sent to Azkaban I visited her often trying to ascertain the reason she would join Voldemort when she spent most of her childhood rebelling against the prejudices her mother tried to instill in her… each time I visited her I was unsuccessful in finding the answer… however on one such visit I noticed something about her. Her stomach was swelling…"

Harry's eyes widened when he realized the direction Dumbledore's story was going.

"I had her transferred to a secure ward away from the effects of the Dementors and had a medical witch check her… it took only a few minutes to confirm my suspicions, Bellatrix was indeed, pregnant" Dumbledore said mournfully

"Bellatrix remained away from the Dementors for the remainder of her pregnancy, when the baby was born Bellatrix performed her one and only act as the baby's mother, she named her daughter Lillith Virginia Black…" Dumbledore said sadly.

"Now Harry you can imagine how worried I was for the baby, that she may grow to follow in her mother's footsteps and may even become a loyal death eater later in life… so I wiped Bellatrix's memory of both the pregnancy and the baby myself and took the baby to find a new home… that's when I heard about a great tragedy, Molly Weasley who had been pregnant herself had lost her baby, Ginerva Molly Weasley had come into our world stillborn. I offered Lillith to Molly to raise in the place of her lost child, we used potions to change Lillith's appearance, gave her red hair, freckles and changed the color of her eyes… and thus Lillith Virginia Black became Ginerva Molly Weasley" Dumbledore finally finished his explanation.

Harry was stunned.

"Jesus… I had my own theories but this… I thought at worst maybe Molly cheated on Arthur and changed what Ginny looked like to hide it, I never would have imagined this…" Harry said "Bellatrix Lestrange is Ginny's mother… who else knows about this?" Harry asked

"Me, Molly and now you… the med witch who delivered the girl had her memory wiped and I doubt the Dementors of Azkaban will tell anybody… now Harry, I do have other business to attend too so if you'll excuse me" with that Dumbledore stood up and walked out of the room quickly confident that the secret of Ginny Weasley was safe.

When Dumbledore was gone Harry stood up and walked to the corner of the room, he kneeled down and reached out to grasp thin air, with a pull his invisibility cloak fell to the ground revealing three girls, Tonks, Hermione and Ginny/Lillith, Tonks and Hermione had their arms around Ginny who had tears cascading down her face.

"S-She's my mother… that horrible woman is my mother…" Ginny said while crying.

"Ginny I'm so sorry…" Harry said as he pulled Ginny into a hug as she cried into his chest.

After reading about Dumbledore's Aura sight it was easy for Harry to cast a charm on his invisibility cloak to stop Dumbledore from seeing it, the girls were hiding in the room right from the beginning listening to everything they said. Harry's oath didn't count anymore because Dumbledore had unwittingly revealed the secret to Ginny himself.

Tonks placed her hand on Ginny's back with a smile.

"Hey, look on the bright side, this means you, me and Sirius are all cousins" Tonks said with a smile trying to cheer Ginny up. Ginny smile in appreciation.

"So… what're you going to call me now?" Ginny asked

"Well, your middle name is Virginia so technically we can still call you Ginny" Harry said with a smile

V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V

Later that day Harry was on his way up to his bedroom for the night, Tonks and Hermione had spent the day with Ginny looking after her after finding out the truth about herself. Harry walked into his room and closed the door behind him. It was then he felt it, something shooting towards him very fast, he tried to turn around and somebody collided with him jumping on his back, reacting to the attack Harry spun around and slammed his assailant against the wall hard, it was then he noticed the pink hair.

"T-Tonks?" Harry asked

"Like it rough eh Harry? Fine by me" Tonks said with a mischievous smile

"What're you doing here?" Harry asked.

"Well, Hermione's looking after Ginny so I thought I'd come and keep you company…"

Only now did Harry notice Tonks' attire, she was dressed in a white button up top that was tied in a knot around her breasts, a short skirt and a pair of knee high boots.

Stunned by her appearance Harry couldn't say anything until Tonks leaned forward and captured his lips in a fierce kiss.

"You have no idea, how much you turned me on today… taking charge like that, the confidence, the new look, I still don't know how I lasted until now" Tonks said between kisses

Harry reached up between them and started to undo the knot in her shirt but Tonks stopped him.

"No… leave it on, the skirt and boots too… the only thing you're allowed to take off are my knickers" Tonks said with a grin

Harry didn't know what to say so instead he just picked Tonks up and with a smile carried her to his bed while Tonks wrapped her legs around his waist and started unbuttoning his shirt.
