Harry Potter & The Order of the Midnight Phoenix
Chapter Four - The Order's Debut
Hermione smiled as she watched Ginny finally sleep after hours of crying, the poor girl had been through so much in the last two days. Her own mother had tried to dose her with love potion, lust potion and fertility potion for the sole purpose of forcing Ginny to get pregnant with Harry's child. Then she finds out that her body and personality had been changed by potions given to her when she was only a few days old and finally she finds out that her real mother was none other than Bellatrix Lestrange.
Although throughout Ginny's grief she still had at least one ray of sunshine to make her smile, she had told Hermione that even with the love potions gone she was still in love with Harry, she was so happy to know that her feelings weren't fake.
When she said this Hermione had stiffened, she wondered how would Ginny take the news that Harry had to take more than one wife, Hermione had decided to break it to her now to save her from any future grief. She had sat Ginny down and told her exactly what she had learned from the book Tonks gave her, but Hermione was surprised by Ginny's response…
Flashback
"… I know" Ginny said simply
Hermione blinked
"You know? How could you know?" Hermione asked, confused.
"Hermione, I may not act like it but I was raised as a pureblood, I already know those laws…" Ginny answered with a smile
"and… you're ok with it?" Hermione asked cautiously
"Hermione, every pureblood girl who has ever thought about being with Harry knows they'll have to share. I came to terms with that a long time ago… I've even had fantasies about it…" Ginny added with a bashful smile and a blush
"F-F-Fantasies?" Hermione asked with wide eyes and a blush "Y-You mean being with Harry and another g-girl?"
"Yeah, I've always been curious about it… Luna was even my first kiss, I'm not a Lesbian I know I prefer men but I'm comfortable with being with women too" Ginny admitted with a furious blush which was matched by Hermione's.
"I think Muggles call it being bicycle…" Ginny said while trying to remember what she read once.
"Bisexual" Hermione corrected
End Flashback
They continued to talk about it for a while longer before Ginny fell asleep, having been worn out by the day's events. Hermione sat and thought about her encounters with both Tonks in the library and Ginny earlier. She remembered the feeling when Tonks had cupped her breast and squeezed, how aroused she felt. It was the very first time another woman had made her feel that way.
"Both Tonks and Ginny knew about the law, they both knew they had to share and they're both ok with it. They're even interested in other girls… all my life I've been eager to learn something new, to try new things, no reason to stop now…" Hermione spoke softly to herself with a smile "I want to be with Harry, even if it means I have to share… I'm willing to at least try…" she said with conviction
"Ok, I have to do it now, I have to tell Harry how I feel while the feelings are still fresh…" Hermione said to herself as she stood up from her bed "… if I sleep on it I'll over think it and lose my nerve" she muttered as she slipped out of the room quietly so not to wake up Ginny. As she slipped out of the room she failed to notice Ginny's left eye open and a smile appeared on her face having heard what Hermione said.
"Tonks too huh?" Ginny whispered to herself as she snuggled further into her covered "This is gonna be fun…"
Hermione felt her heart thundering in her chest as she approached Harry's room, her mind was filled with doubts and hopes, she wondered if she was wrong, what if Harry didn't want her, but that thought was dashed when she remembered their encounter in the hospital wing, how she sat in his lap and hugged him, how his finger made her feel when he healed her scar, how his eyes wandered over her uncovered legs and how they nearly kissed without realizing it.
Before she realized it she was standing in front of Harry's door, she took a deep breath to settle herself and reached out for the handle of the door she slowly creaked the door open and stepped forward, but then she heard something that made her freeze.
"Ooh, oh god Harry…" somebody moaned from inside the room and Hermione wrinkled her nose at the musky smell.
Hermione quietly opened the door a little further so she could peek in through the crack, when she did she let out a quiet gasp, the room was in darkness, illuminated only by moonlight pouring through the window but that was enough for her to see what was happening, she was looking at someone's back covered by a white shirt, someone with pink hair as she bounced up and down on the bed with somebody underneath her who was in turn thrusting his hips upwards. Their lower halves were hidden by a quilt.
"P-Please Harry… harder…" she pleaded as she bounced harder with a moan.
"Shit Tonks, so tight…" Harry moaned.
Hermione didn't know why it surprised her to find them like this, Tonks had told her earlier that she was sleeping with Harry, but hearing about it and seeing it were two completely different things, what did surprise her was that she didn't feel upset about them being together. She wanted to walk away, to give them their privacy, she knew it was wrong to watch them but she felt like her legs had been petrified and she couldn't move away. Hermione stood there watching Tonks bouncing up and down, listening to the sound of flesh slapping against flesh and she found herself starting to get aroused. Her hands seemed to move on its own slipping underneath her nightgown and pulling it up to her waist, it was the same nightgown she had worn that night in the hospital wing with Harry. Her hand slipped under the waistband of her panties and started to rub her wet lips.
Hermione's knees almost buckled as a tremor of pleasure shot through her and she let out a gasp, but her movements didn't stop, she continued to rub herself as quietly as possible as Tonks and Harry continued shagging in front of her.
Tonks however had heard her gasp and turned her head slightly to look at the door, she saw the door cracked open and smiled when she spotted brown hair kneeling in front of the door and heard gasping.
Tonks knew that Harry had closed the door before she jumped him and she knew that the room was warded so only people keyed into the ward can open the door, it had to be Hermione.
'Well, lets give her a show…' Tonks thought as she bounced with renewed vigor
"Harry, cum with me baby…" Tonks moaned as she threw the quit off their lower halves, Tonks smirked when she heard another gasp come from the door.
Hermione gasped as Tonks threw back the cover and she saw everything she was wearing, a short skirt with no panties and knee high boots. The skirt was so short that when Tonks leaned forward to kiss Harry, Hermione was able to see Harry thrusting up into Tonks' entrance. Hermione's arousal increased at the sight, she fantasized about it being her in there with Harry, she slipped her middle finger into herself and started thrusting in time to Harry's thrusts while being careful not to break her maidenhood.
"T-Tonks, I'm gonna…" Harry was silenced by Tonks' lips crashing against his and her tongue slipping into his mouth.
With one last thrust their hips slammed together tightly and they climaxed. Tonks smiled in her daze as she felt Harry shooting inside her. After a minute they both relaxed their muscles and laid there gasping.
"So… did you enjoy the show Hermione?" Harry asked out loud.
Hermione gasped and stumbled when Harry spoke to her. Her hand quickly pulled out of her snatch leaving her on the edge of an orgasm, she was desperately trying to hide what she had been doing.
Tonks looked at Harry curiously
"You knew?" she asked slyly
"I set up the wards on this room, I knew the moment she touched the door handle" Harry said with a bashful smile.
With a grin Tonks quickly jumped off Harry, walked across the room and pulled the door open to see Hermione sitting there with wide eyes.
"T-Tonks I'm s-sor…" Hermione was cut off when Tonks reached down, grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled her up and into the room. After closing the door Tonks pushed Hermione against the door with a mock angry look on her face, Hermione was trembling, both from the shock of being caught and from having bringing herself to the edge of an orgasm and then stopping suddenly. Tonks spotted her wet hand and grabbed it holding it in front of Hermione's face.
"Which finger did you use huh?" Tonks asked still sounding angry. Hermione felt like crying as she lowered all but her middle and pointer fingers which glistened with wetness.
Tonks scowl suddenly split into a seductive grin, she took Hermione's fingers and slipped them into her mouth licking them clean.
Hermione's eyes widened as she watched Tonks cleaned up the juices off her fingers. Just a minute ago those fingers were inside her snatch and now Tonks was licking them clean. When Tonks finished she pulled the fingers out of her mouth and smiled.
"Mmm, tasty" Before Hermione could respond Tonks grabbed the back of Hermione's head and pulled her face to her own.
"Mmmph…" Hermione mumbled in shock as she felt Tonks' tongue slip into her mouth and battle with her own. After a moment she realized that she was probably tasting herself on Tonks' tongue.
Harry sat in the bed with a shocked look on his face, he certainly wasn't expecting this… but he wasn't about to complain.
Tonks separated from Hermione leaving a string of saliva between their mouths as they both breathed heavily. Hermione still looked worried. Tonks smiled and leaned forward so her mouth was next to her ear.
"Don't worry 'Mione, we knew you were there the whole time so we decided to give you a show… but it looks like you didn't manage to finish" Tonks added as her hand trailed down Hermione's stomach to the hem of her nightgown. Hermione was too shocked to object to what Tonks was doing.
Tonks pulled the nightgown up to reveal Hermione's wet panties, she slipped her hands into the waistband and quickly found what she was looking for, she slipped two fingers into Hermione causing the younger girl to let out a loud moan of surprise, Tonks pushed her fingers in as far as they would go until the tips of her fingers touched a barrier. For a moment Tonks was tempted to thrust her fingers through the barrier but restrained herself, she would leave that for Harry.
Hermione didn't know what to say or do other than lean back against the wall and accept the older woman's treatment, she soon felt a familiar pressure in her stomach…
"T-Tonks… I'mOH… I'm going to… ahh…" Hermione tried to warn the older woman.
"Go ahead… cum on my fingers" Tonks whispered seductively as she continued pushing her fingers in and out of Hermione.
Suddenly Hermione's back straightened arched backwards and her legs straightened, she bit her bottom lip to stop from screaming out as she finally climaxed. Tonks felt Hermione constrict around her fingers. When Hermione finally came down from her high Tonks pulled her fingers out and licked them clean.
Hermione's head finally cleared and she seemed to realize what had happened and who had down it to her. A woman had fingered her to orgasm… and she enjoyed it. Any hesitation she felt about being with Harry and other woman completely disappeared and she smiled.
"Tonks… you… I…" Hermione stuttered not knowing what to say.
"Come on…" Tonks said as she pulled Hermione away from the wall and towards the bed where Harry was watching them with wide eyes. "… now Hermione, I believe you came here to say something to Harry didn't you? So say it" Tonks said with a push
Hermione stood there for a moment not knowing what to say, her hand raised to play with her long hair which was out of habit, but when she found no hair their she remembered that it had been cut a few days ago and now only came down to her shoulders. Harry seemed to understand her hesitation.
"'Mione, it's ok, you don't have to…"
"I love you…" Hermione blurted out causing Harry to go wide eyed and Hermione to blush
"… I've thought about it for a while now… I know the laws and I know you have to be with more than one woman… but, I'm ok with it, I want to be with you even if it means sharing you" Hermione said and looked down not wanting to see his face.
Harry moved from the bed and placed his hand on Hermione's chin, he lifted her head to look into her eyes. Without saying a word he moved forward and captured her lips with his own. They kissed for a few moments before separating.
"'Mione, I love you too… I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner" Harry apologized sincerely.
Hermione stood there not knowing what to say or do now. Tonks who had been getting fully undressed saw this and rolled her eyes. She placed both hands on Hermione's back and gave her a hard push right into Harry, they both fell onto the bed in a compromising position, Harry was on his back with Hermione straddling him, it was at this point Hermione realized that Harry was still naked, this fact was made clear as she felt his hardness up against her panty covered slit. Harry shifted to get from under her but his movement caused him to slide against Hermione who was sill sensitive from her orgasm.
"Oooh" Hermione moaned as she felt it.
"Hermione, are you ok?" Harry asked worriedly afraid that this was going too fast for her.
"D-Do it again… please…" Hermione pleaded weakly as she laid her head against his chest. Harry complied and slowly rubbed her through her panties.
Tonks smiled as she moved behind Hermione and reached towards her waist, she took the side of Hermione's panties in her hands and gave a quick tug, they easily tore away from the girl revealing her wetness.
"Ah…" Hermione le tout a squeak of surprise when she looked behind her seeing Tonks holding what remained of her panties up to her nose and taking a long sensual sniff.
Harry saw the nervous look on Hermione's face now that her panties were off.
"Hermione, we don't have to do this yet, we can wait if you want…" Harry said kindly as he stroked her cheek.
Hermione smiled when he said that and her nerves settled, if she could be with anybody right now, if she could have her choice of anybody she wanted to lose her virginity too it would be Harry. With this thought she sat up still straddling Harry and gripped the hem of her night gown, with a quick tug she pulled it up over her head and onto the floor leaving her completely naked. Harry sat astonished at the sight of her beautiful body and so did Tonks.
"God Hermione…" Tonks said with astonishment "… You're absolutely gorgeous, you should dress to show it instead of hiding yourself with baggy clothes and robes all the time" Tonks advised. Hermione blushed at the praise.
With a few movements Hermione slid forward and lined up Harry with her opening, her heart hammered in her chest as she slowly moved backwards, she gasped as she felt him poke against her wrong hole.
"Hold up Harry…" Tonks said with a grin from behind Hermione, she took Harry in her hand making him shudder and lined him up with where it was supposed to go. "… not that I'm against it, but I don't think our sexy little bookworm is ready for that just yet" Tonks said with a wink making Hermione blush. With Tonks helping the aim, Hermione moved backward again and Harry poked against the proper hole this time, her body subconsciously tightened to stop the intrusion, Hermione gritted her teeth and kept pushing backwards.
Poke… Poke… Poke… Slip.
"Ahh!" Hermione gasped as his head pushed into her and she felt herself stretched open. She kept moving backwards taking him in further until he poked against her barrier. She pushed back and winced as the sharp pain shot through her.
"'Mione… You ok?" Harry said through his gasps.
"H-Harry… I c-can't get break through… y-you have to push the rest of t-the way in…" Hermione said with a wince. Harry paled, he couldn't do it, he couldn't do something that would hurt her. Tonks seemed to see the hesitation in his eyes and intervened.
"I'll help you" Tonks said as she climbed to straddle Harry's legs behind Hermione, Tonks wrapped her arms around Hermione's waist and pulled her into a sitting position against her chest, Hermione felt the stinging quell when she felt Tonks naked breasts push against her back. Tonks held Hermione tightly above Harry.
"Ok, on the count of three I'll pull you down on him and break through your barrier, ok?" Tonks said.
Hermione hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Ok, brace yourself on the count of three…" Tonks warned as she got ready "… One..." without warning Tonks' grip around Hermione's waist tightened and pulled her down hard, slamming the young virgin almost cruelly down on top of Harry's hardness. Hermione screamed as Harry tore through Her hymen mercilessly and kept going until his tip touched her cervix and his hips slammed into hers, a small trickle of blood seeped out from the area they were connected. Hermione wept as she felt like she was being split in half.
"Tonks what the hell!" Harry almost shouted angrily.
Tonks looked saddened by what she had done, she leaned close to Hermione and hugged her again.
"'Mione I'm sorry. I'm so sorry but if you knew when I was going to do it then you would have tensed up and it would have hurt so much more, believe me I know… I promise I'll make it up to you, let me help make you feel better" Tonks said softly as she reached around Hermione and tenderly rubbed her clit.
"Ooh…" Hermione moaned as the pain started to ebb away and was replaced by pleasure. She moved forwards trying to push her clit harder into Tonks' fingers but inadvertently made Harry slip out of her slightly, she moved back and it slipped back in, she moved forwards again and backwards again quickly getting into a rhythm
Harry held her hips lightly assisting her as she moved backwards and forwards on him.
"Oh… oh god, Harry move with me, please…" Hermione said as the pain completely disappeared. Harry seeing her face, complied and started to thrust slowly in rhythm with her. Tonks slid to the side of Harry's legs and moved besides Hermione still rubbing her clit, she moved her head forwards and took Hermione's right nipple into her mouth and suckled tenderly getting a gasp out of Hermione. Tonks slid her left hand down and pushed two fingers into herself fingering herself furiously. Hermione was fully into the swing of things now, she placed her left hand on Harry's chest to give herself more leverage for moving against him, with her right hand she gripped Tonks hair behind her head and pulled her against her breast roughly making her gasp when she felt Tonks' teeth clamp down on her firmly.
Harry was entranced by the sight of the women in front of him, hip grip on Hermione's hips tightened and he started to bounce her faster and harder.
After a few minutes Hermione felt herself reaching the edge, she never though sex would feel this good.
"Ahh… ahh… ah, I'm close, I'm… I'm AHH" Hermione screamed as she ripped Tonks' head away from her breast and spotted Tonks hand fingering herself. In a rare show of confidence and daring Hermione grabbed Tonks' thrusting hand and pulled it away, Tonks' let out a frustrated moan as she felt her fingers removed and was denied her orgasm, but her disappointment was replaced by shock when she felt Hermione's fingers take her their place inside her.
"Oh SHIT!" Tonks squealed as Hermione's fingers hit her in the perfect place, Tonks used her arms and legs as leverage on the bed and started thrusting herself against Hermione's hand.
'Damn, one little boost of confidence and she goes from her timid self to this?' Tonks thought with a grin 'I wonder what'll happen when I get her into some form fitting clothes'
"You know, most of that wetness is Harry from when he came inside me…" Tonks panted as Hermione thrust her fingers into Tonks. The thought of her hand touching not only Tonks wetness but Harry's too pushed Hermione over the edge.
"Ahh, Ahh, OHHHH!" Hermione's body seized up and she tightened around Harry. Tonks clamped down of Hermione's fingers as she was pushed over the edge and Harry gave one last thrust as hard as he could into Hermione as he let himself loose inside her. Hermione moaned as she felt him shooting his essence into her over and over again, throughout her post-orgasmic high she briefly thought…
'Oh no… what if I get pregnant?…' Hermione wondered as her tired body fell down onto Harry's chest and her fingers slipped out of Tonks.
Tonks saw the glistening hand and grabbed it, cleaning it with her tongue tasting herself and Harry on the hand.
When she was done Tonks reached to the bedside counter and picked up her wand, with a swish a light shot out and settled on Hermione's stomach, she repeated the process on herself.
"W-What was t-t-that?" Hermione asked through her daze
"Anti-pregnancy spell… just in case…" Tonks said through her panting as she laid the wand back down and snuggled next to Harry who wrapped his left arm around her, she gave him a quick peck on the lips and rested her head on his shoulder. Hermione shifted her position so she was on Harry's right side and mirrored Tonks' actions, giving him a quick peck on the lips and taking position on his right shoulder. At this point Tonks and Hermione found themselves facing each other, they both smiled and leaned close to each other for a quick peck of the lips.
"So Hermione, how was it?" Tonks asked
"It was… like nothing I've ever imagined, it hurt at first but when that was over it felt amazing…" Hermione said as she snuggled closer to Harry.
"Yeah, just imagine what it'll be like when there is three of us…" Tonks said with a grin "… I know Ginny still likes you, maybe Fleur will be willing to give it a go too, I'm pretty sure I can convince Hestia to join us every now and then…" Harry and Hermione looked at Tonks with wide eyes as she started to mention potential… bedfellows, for lack of a better word.
"Tonks, I swear you're the only woman in England who actually wants their boyfriend to sleep with other women" Harry commented
"I wouldn't be too sure about that…" Hermione said with a yawn "… I had an… interesting conversation with… Ginny… before I… came here…" Hermione said before nodding off.
"Hmm… that's probably not good… or very good depending on how you look at it… Tonks remind me in the morning to drink some Skele-grow…" Harry said with a wince
"Why, are you hurt?" Tonks asked with concern
"No, but between you and Hermione I think my hips have been ground into dust" Harry quipped onto to be given a light smack from Tonks.
They laid there quietly for a few minutes slowly falling asleep when Tonks remembered what Hermione had said to Harry before they shagged. Tonks leaned upwards towards Harry.
"Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out yet, I love you…" Tonks said with a smile.
Harry turned to her with a smile and kissed her gently.
"I love you too Tonks"
The Next Morning
Hermione woke up in a pair of strong arms, her eyes remained closed as a dull ache in her lower body brought back memories of what happened the night before and she knew who was holding her, she inched forward and kissed him on the lips keeping her eyes closed the entire time, he opened his mouth and started to caress her tongue with his, after thirty seconds of kissing Hermione pulled back with a smile.
"Oh Harry" Harry said to her in a rather feminine tone
Hermione's brow crinkled as she recognized the voice, it wasn't Harry's.
"Tonks?" Hermione asked as she opened her eyes
"'Mione?" Tonks asked as she too opened her eyes for the first time. They laid there in each other arms blushing, they both thought they had been kissing Harry, not each other.
"Just so you ladies know…" came a voice from the foot of the bed, Tonks and Hermione both turned to see Harry standing there fully dressed in his new clothes he picked out yesterday. "… that was awesome" Harry finished with a grin
"Didn't you get enough of a show last night?" Hermione asked with a smile
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question Miss Voyeur?" Harry said making her blush
Harry turned around and walked back to where he was working with several smoking cauldrons
"Harry, how did you get out from between us without waking us?" Tonks asked as she remembered how they had fallen asleep.
"What you should be asking how I got those shirts on you without waking you, that's a far more interesting story" Harry said with a smile as Hermione and Tonks both looked down and sure enough they both wore a large baggy long-sleeved shirt with the words 'Harry Potter' emblazed on them in golden writing, and the bottom of the 'P' was shaped like a lightning bolt.
"What the… but how… when did you…" Hermione asked in confusion
Tonks merely looked at the shirt and smiled.
"I like it… its soft, comfortable and lets everyone know what team I support"
Both Hermione and Tonks got up out of bed and walked over to where he was working.
"Wotcha doin'?" Tonks asked as she looked at the four smoking cauldrons
"Making some things that can help us, take a look at this" Harry said as he pointed at the two cauldrons in front of him, one filled with red liquid and one filled with blue
"What do they do?" Hermione asked
"Alone, nothing… but…" Harry said as he used a sucker to drop a little of the blue liquid onto the table where he was working. Then he dipped the end of a paper clip into the red liquid and held it above the drop of blue. "… but you mix them together and…" Harry dropped the paperclip onto the blue liquid and sudden a 'pop' sound was heard and a small flash of light made Hermione and Tonks blink for a moment.
"… that's it?" Tonks asked unimpressed
"Keep in mind that was only a small amount of potion. When mixed together in the right quantity the potions make a loud explosive sound and a blinding flash of light." Harry said as he pulled a small vial up from the table it was a normal vial but it seemed to have a thin piece of glass in the middle dividing the vial, separating two liquids, blue and red
"Smash that vial, the potions mix and boom… the sound deafens them and flash blinds them and there's a chance that they'll be knocked unconscious…" Harry explained
"… it's the magical equivalent of a flash bang grenade…" Tonks realized at the same time as Hermione
"That's brilliant Harry, what are the other two potions?" Hermione asked
"Well this one reverses the effects of a long term memory charm" Harry said as he pointed at the misty potion, it was so thick it looked like liquid smoke.
"Could come in handy… and the last one?" Tonks asked pointing at the last cauldron filled with a silver liquid that moved like liquid mercury.
"This one is, very special, it's something that's never been done before, not even by the founders…" Harry explained as he picked up a glass vial and carefully measured the amount of potion he filled it with
"What do you mean not by the founders, you made this with their knowledge right? So how could they not know this potion?" Hermione asked, utterly confused
"Because the founders only had their individual knowledge to work with, I on the other hand have all of their knowledge, from all four of them… to make this potion, I combined Helga's knowledge of magical creatures with Salazar's knowledge of potion brewing" Harry said as he stoppered the potion
"So, what is it, what does it do?" Tonks asked enthusiastically wanting to know what potion it was.
"Ladies, I think I'm about to become even more famous… I just invented the cure to Lycanthropy" Harry said with a smile as he held up the potion in front of them. Their jaws hit the ground… figuratively speaking.
"H-Harry are you serious about this? People have been trying for over a thousand years to cure the werewolf curse" Hermione said with wide eyes
"Yes, I'm serious, this month will be the last time Remus Lupin will be forced to howl at the moon… however the potion needs one last ingredient" Harry said with a wince
"What ingredient?" Tonks asked cautiously, there was bound to be a catch
"A drop of blood from a Werewolf" Harry revealed
"What? That's fine though we can go to Remus right now and…" Tonks was cut off by Harry shaking his head.
"It's not that simple Tonks, the blood has to come from his werewolf form and what's more he won't be able to take the wolfs-bane potion beforehand either, or else it'll interfere with my potion" Harry revealed
"… ok lets just make sure I've got this straight… you have to go into Remus' room when he's transformed having not taken the potion that lets him retain his mind… take a drop of his blood, add it to the potion and then force the potion down his throat, all the while hoping he won't be able to rip your throat out?" Tonks asked
"Basically… yes" Harry deadpanned
"Ok… good luck with that… while you're busy doing that I'll be waiting here safe and sound…" Tonks said with a nervous smile
"A gorgeous woman waiting for me in my bedroom? Now that's what I call an incentive to come back alive…" Harry joked making Tonks blush "… anyway don't worry, I can handle the wolf in Remus, his next transformation will be the night before Sirius' Will reading"
"July 31st… the day of the will reading, your birthday and the day we escape from here… that's going be a really busy day" Hermione said thoughtfully
"Yeah… the tough part is going to be getting past Dumbledore, I have to be careful he doesn't catch me by surprise" Harry said thoughtfully
"Yeah… well, back to business, Hermione you're coming with me…" Tonks said as she took Hermione's hand and started to drag her out of the room. Harry smiled as they left and kept bottling his potions.
"T-Tonks where are we going?" Hermione asked as she tried to keep up with Tonks despite her body aching.
"Hermione, last night I noticed something… you're gorgeous…" Tonks deadpanned making Hermione blush. "… however you constantly hide your figure with baggy jeans, large shirts and jumpers. The only reason for that I can think of is your lack of confidence but last night I saw your confident side… and I'm going help that side of you show herself more often, come on" Tonks said as she lead Hermione towards her room.
"H-How do you know I was confident last night?" Hermione asked curiously
"Because if you weren't confident then you never would have shoved your fingers into me…" Tonks said slyly making Hermione blush.
As the pair were passing by the room Hermione and Ginny shared, the door opened and a sleepy Ginny walked out of the room rubbing her eyes, she looked at the two and spotted their shirts.
"… Nice shirts, where can I get one?" Ginny asked curiously while still in her half asleep state.
"Oh easy, you just have to join the club and go through the initiation" Tonks said with a grin making Hermione blush at Tonks' hidden meaning.
"Oh, that sounds ok… what's the initiation?" Ginny asked while trying to keep her eyes open
"Ask Hermione, she went through the initiation last night" Tonks said as she stepped aside letting Hermione take over. In her head Hermione was cursing Tonks as her face burned red.
"Well the initiation is… umm… very…" Hermione stuttered trying to say something, anything. Tonks having mercy on Hermione took her hand and continued their journey towards her room.
"Sorry Ginny, me and 'Mione have to do something, we'll speak later" Tonks called back to the drowsy girl.
"'Kay" Ginny said sleepily as she made her way downstairs towards the kitchen
"I can't believe you did that!" Hermione said scolded Tonks
"Oh relax, it's not as if she isn't going to join us soon anyway" Tonks said with a smirk as they entered Tonks' room and closed the door behind them.
"Ok, there's a shower through there, go get washed up while I get you some good clothes" Tonks said as she opened her trunk and started going through her clothes. Knowing it would be futile to resist, Hermione accepted her fate and walked towards the bathroom hoping the hot water could sooth her muscles and rid her of the ache she suffered from.
The door to the bathroom closed as Tonks held up a shirt.
"Oh yes, this'll work… I can't wait to see Harry's face…"
Meanwhile downstairs Ginny was in the kitchen holding a glass of orange juice, she took one gulp of it and at that exact moment several pieces of information clicked in her mind.
1. Hermione had been out of her bed all night
2. She was last seen going to tell Harry how she felt
3. Tonks and Hermione were coming from the direction Harry's room was in
4. They were both wearing nothing but that shirt.
Ginny now understood what Tonks was implying by saying 'Club' and 'Initiation'. In her shock Ginny spat out her mouthful of Orange juice. At that same time Ron walked into the kitchen just in time to receive a spray of orange juice to his face. Fred and George walked in right behind him and burst into fits of laughter.
"Why the bloody hell did you do that?" Ron shouted angrily as he wiped away the liquid stinging his eyes
Ginny smirked and for a moment actually considered telling him why she had spat out her drink, just to see how he would react to the news.
"You don't want to know" Ginny answered honestly
About an hour later Harry came downstairs and walked into the kitchen/dining room. Many members of the order were sitting down talking to each other. He spotted Molly sitting down looking nervous and a little twitchy, she couldn't remember the last time she hadn't cooked breakfast for her family so she tried to compensate by feeding Ron as much as she could, he wasn't complaining as he shoved a whole sausage in his mouth.
Harry made himself a cup of tea and sat at the table with a copy of the daily prophet, after a few minutes the door opened and Tonks peeked in, she spotted Harry and smiled, she walked back out of the room and spoke to somebody who was behind the door out of sight. Harry's eyebrow cocked at the sight.
'What is she doing?' He wondered
Suddenly the door opened fully and there standing in the doorway was gorgeous woman. It took a moment but Harry's eyes widened in both recognition and surprise, it was Hermione. She was wearing a tight black top with a v-neck showed the valley between breasts, the top cut off just a few inches below her breasts leaving her stomach bare showing off her belly button. She wore a pair of light blue jeans, but unlike her usual baggy jeans these ones were tight, they hugged her legs snugly showing every curve of her ass, poking out of the top of the jeans were two pieces of black cloth that wrapped around her hips and disappeared down into the back of the jeans, they were obviously the straps of a thong. On her feet she wore a pair of black shoes with two inch heels, on her face she wore a little makeup including some black mascara. Finally around her neck hung a necklace, a silver chain with the letter 'P' hanging between her breasts, the 'P' was the same pattern as the one on the shirts he had given them, with the bottom of the letter shaped like a lighting bolt..
Ron's mouth hung open at the sight and several mashed sausages fell out of his mouth.
The room was silent, nobody knew what to say. Hermione walked into the room blushing as she went, she sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. Tonks meanwhile walked over and sat next to Harry.
"So what do you think?" Tonks whispered
"… I think I'm seeing a replay of the Yule Ball, when Hermione appeared dressed in the gown nobody recognized her, she looked so different, so beautiful…" Harry whispered back. "… god I was an idiot back then" Harry said while shaking his head.
"Yeah you were, by the way…" Tonks said with a sultry smile as she pulled the neck of her shirt down revealing the same silver 'P' that Hermione wore.
"Like them? I transfigured them, got the idea from the shirts you gave us"
Ron chose this moment to look at Harry and saw him seemingly looking down Tonks' shirt and that Tonks was actually holding her shirt open for him.
"Wha' du boody 'ell!" Ron shouted out with a full mouth making spatters of food fly across the table making everyone grimace. Several people looked at what Ron was looking at and caught Tonks and Harry in a rather compromising state.
"You could have any girl in England but you took my stole my girl away from me and now you've got the Metamorph all over you too?" Ron shouted
Hermione looked angry at being referred to as his girl. Tonks looked really pissed at being referred to as 'The Metamorph'. Harry looked furious.
"Nymphadora how could you!" Molly shrieked as she stood up "… you Harlot, flashing yourself to poor Harry like some trollop!…"
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TOO?" everybody jumped back as Tonks stood up from her chair, drew her wand and roared at Molly. Tonks hair suddenly changed to a dark brown almost black color and her face took on a more regal look.
"… I may not act like it very often but I am part of the Black family…" Tonks said as she walked towards Molly without any of the clumsiness she was known for. "… I am Nymphadora Tonks, daughter of Andromeda Black… I can be the sweetest person in the world to my friends but I can be the cruelest bitch in existence to my enemies…" Tonks spat as she leveled her wand at Molly's face. "To you my name is Tonks… not Nymphadora and not 'The Metamorph'…" Tonks said as she shot a glare at Ron "… keep that in mind the next time you wag your tongue, otherwise I might just rip it out of your skull…" Tonks finished as she slipped her wand back into her wrist holster and walked out of the room, her hair changing back to pink as she went.
When this happened Harry realized something, the look Tonks had a moment ago was her real self, what she looked like without any modifications. Harry stood up and walked out of the room after Tonks to make sure she was ok. Ginny meanwhile was standing in the doorway leading towards the kitchen while munching on a slice of toast with a smile on her face, she enjoyed watching Tonks lay into Molly and Ron.
"It's not right…" Molly muttered now that Tonks and Harry were gone ".. how can she have no dignity, he's only a child…"
"Oh please…" Ginny interrupted Molly before she could get a head of steam. "… like his age matters to you. You tried to give me and him love potions so he'd get me pregnant, if me and him had gone upstairs a couple days ago and started fucking you'd probably have smiled thinking your plan was coming together… but the moment you see Harry looking down Tonks' shirt you start bitching at her, you fucking Hypocrite." Ginny swore making several people gasp. "Let me tell you something, what Harry does or who he does it with is none of your business… if Harry was to say, have a threesome with Hermione and Tonks that's his business" Ginny offered as an example. This statement made Hermione choke on the sip of tea she was taking.
"Like hell it is!" Ron said in anger as he stood up. "Hermione is my girlfriend, Harry can't have her!"
Hermione's eyes narrowed, she slammed the cup of tea down and stood up, she walked briskly up to Ron.
Ron got the wrong idea and smiled.
"See, I knew you'd come to your senses…" Ron was cut off when Hermione's fist struck his nose breaking it. Ron fell to the floor shaking and holding his bloody nose and Hermione shook her stinging hand, Molly was up in an instant and by Ron's side babying him. Ginny on the other hand took Hermione and led her out of the room to get some ice for her hand.
That Afternoon
A few hours later Harry and the girls were hanging out in the library, Hermione had a white bandage around her right hand to keep up appearances, Harry had actually already healed her hand with one of his new spells, the same one he had used to heal her scar.
Harry sat in front of Hermione and had her hold out her hand, she pulled the ice pack away and showed it was red and swollen. Harry held his hand out so the palms were hovering over her hand.
"Let the Nightingale descend from her place at the lord's side to heal the minor wounds! Bakudo #3 : Keikatsu" (First Aid) With that said Harry's hand were covered by and green glow, Hermione felt her hand numb and the pain vanished, her skin turned it's normal color, the swelling went down and an unseen fracture was repaired in her middle finger.
Hermione started asking questions about Kido, how it worked, the different types of spells and why did he use an incantation this time but not the first time.
"It's complicated but… if I use the spell without the incantation, it takes up more magic to cast and the effect of the spell weakens, but if I use the incantation then it uses up less magic and the spell is more effective… the downside is I won't always have time to stop and recite the incantation. Not to mention having to memorize the different incantations for the different spells.
Before Hermione could ask anymore questions the door burst open and Kingsley appeared in the doorway.
"Tonks, emergency meeting now…" Kingsley said in a rush before turning and walking away. Followed shortly by Tonks
Harry saw the look in Kingsley's eyes, he had been shaken by something.
"Something's happened" Harry muttered before standing up and following Tonks.
He walked into the hallway and saw other members of the order walking towards the meeting room, Harry quickly spotted Dumbledore and walked up to him.
"What's going on?" Harry asked. Dumbledore saw Harry and smiled at him.
"Ah Harry, nothing you need to concern yourself about…" Dumbledore said reassuringly
"Dumbledore, half the people here look like they're about to crap their robes and you're calling an order meeting. Something is happening, something involving Voldemort… you said to me a couple weeks ago that you wanted to repair the trust that we once shared, you can start by being honest. I'm not asking to be sent on mission I'm just asking to be kept in the loop…" Harry finished.
Dumbledore was in turmoil, on one hand he could ignore Harry and push him further away from his control, or tell the truth…
'There's no harm in him knowing… after all it's not like he could do anything about it…' Dumbledore figured.
"Do you remember Amelia Bones?" Dumbledore asked
"… Yeah, she was at my trial last year, she was the only one who actually wanted to hear my side of what happened… she's also Susan Bones' aunt…" Harry remembered. According to his parents Will she was also the third person his parents chose to raise him.
"Yes, she's also the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement… Severus just arrived to give us some startling information, her manor is at this very moment under attack by Death Eaters, Tom himself is leading the assault…" Dumbledore finished as he walked towards the door to the meeting leaving a stunned Harry.
"H-Hold on… if she's under attack then why are you having a meeting instead of fighting back?…" Harry asked
"It's not that simple, we must discuss who will be going to assist her, and make a gameplan of what we should do…" Dumbledore answered
"It is that simple, take everyone and stun anybody wearing a mask it's not exactly rocket science…" Harry said getting angry.
"We must take our time Harry, those who rush in headfirst can only get themselves and others hurt…" Dumbledore said taking a cheap shot at Harry.
Harry was for a moment blinded by anger, he wanted to lash out and blast Dumbledore through a wall.
Dumbledore turned to Tonks who was waiting by the door.
"Nymphadora, keep an eye on Harry and his friends, I'll have Kingsley brief you on what we discussed" Dumbledore whispered to the Auror. Dumbledore then walked into the meeting and closed the door locking them. Tonks' was pissed, both at Dumbledore calling her by her first name and at Dumbledore's obvious shot about Sirius.
"Harry, you ok?" Tonks asked.
"Yeah… I'm fine Tonks… they'll never make it…" Harry said angrily "By the time they've finished pissing around with their meetings Madam Bones and Susan will be dead… or worse"
Tonks winced as she understood what Harry was implying, she remembered meeting Amelia's Niece once and knew she was attractive, her being a prisoner of death eaters wasn't a good thing.
"Ok… Tonks, do you know where the Bones manor is?" Harry asked
Tonks smiled, she knew what he was getting at.
"Yes I do… and before you even ask, I'm coming with you…" Tonks said with a smile
"Thank you… ok, go up to my room and grab my bag, it's on the table where I was brewing potions this morning, I'll go to the library and tell Hermione and Ginny what's going on, meet me there"
Tonks nodded and turned bounding up the stairs as quickly as she could. Harry turned around and rushed back towards the library.
After he got there he quickly explained the situation to Ginny and Hermione, they both immediately told him they were going with him.
"Ok, give me your wands…" Harry said
Though they didn't hesitate they did look curious as they retrieved their wands from their pockets and handed them to him. Harry held a hand over the wands for a moment making them vibrate. After a few seconds he passed them back.
"Ok, I've removed the Ministry Tracking charms on the wands…" Harry explained as Tonks walked in passing him his bag. He looped the bag around his shoulder so it was hanging at his hip, he reached into the bag and pulled out three metal rings.
"These are portkeys, say the words 'Midnight Phoenix' and they'll activate taking you to my bedroom" Harry said as they slipped them on, he never noticed them grin shyly as they slipped them onto their ring fingers…
"Ok, Tonks you Apparate to the Manor with Hermione, with that ring on I'll be able to follow you with Ginny…" Harry said
Tonks nodded and grabbed Hermione's shoulder, after a moment of concentration she swore.
"Damn, they've put up anti apparation wards around the perimeter of the manor, I'll have to Apparate outside…" a moment later they disappeared with a small pop.
Harry grabbed Ginny for a moment and lead her to the side.
"Ginny, a lot of Tom's inner circle were sent to Azkaban after what happened at the department of mysteries so if he's going to attack the head of the DMLE at her home then he's going to go in as strong as he can… that means…"
"Bellatrix…" Ginny finished for him "… it means he'll probably take Bellatrix with him"
"Yeah… knowing that are you sure you want to go?" Harry asked
"Harry, I'm not going to run from this… I'm going with you" Ginny said with determination
Harry smiled and concentrated on Tonks ring, a moment later Harry and Ginny disappeared with no sound at all.
Harry appeared about 50 meters away from a large manor house, several windows were smashed and the front doors were shattered. High above the house the Dark Mark hung in the sky, a skull with a snake slithering out of it's mouth.
"Ok, lets go… and don't forget, if you get in trouble use the portkey" Harry said as he took off in a run towards the house with the girls following him.
As Harry approached the door he spotted three death eaters exit the house. Harry acted immediately, he started chanting without stopping his run.
"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!…" The incantation drew the attention of the death eaters, they looked up just in time to see Harry raise his right palm to face them."Hado #31 Shakkaho!" (Shot of Red Fire) a red ball of energy fired from his palm with incredible speeds it struck the ground in front of the death eaters causing an explosion that knocked them off their feet, they flew through the air and smashed against the wall of the manor. The three girls looks at him in awe.
"W-What was that?" Tonks asked
"Up until now you only seen me use spells from the Way of Binding… that was a spell from the way of destruction…" Harry said while catching his breath.
"… you have GOT to teach me that" Tonks said with a smile.
"Later… for now we have a problem… can you hear that?" Harry asked listening
"I can't hear anything" Ginny said with a shrug
"Exactly, no sounds of fighting… the battle is already over, we need to hurry" Harry said as he rushed into the house and looked around, the walls were scorched, the banisters on the large staircase were smashed to splinters.
"Looks like the battle moved upstairs, come on…" Harry lead them upstairs and they followed the signs of battle until they came to a pair of large double doors. Harry held up his hand to signal the girls to stop. He placed his bare palm on the wood and focused.
"This is Director Bones' private study. It's pretty big, plenty of room to maneuver" Tonks informed them. After a moment Harry smiled.
"Oh Tom, you've gotten sloppy…" Harry muttered
"What is it?" Hermione asked
"He's in there… with Amelia, Susan and several Death Eaters… This room has a powerful ward on it, it stops anything but himself from getting in or out of the room by magical means. The wards around the manor stopped Apparation so he probably cast this spell to stop Amelia or Susan from using the Floo to escape…" Harry explained.
"Ok, but how does that make him sloppy?" Tonks asked not understanding Harry comment.
"It stops anything from getting in the room… including sound…" Harry explained. Ginny was the first to get it.
"He didn't hear the explosion a few minutes ago, he doesn't know we're here…"
"Correct. Ok, this room has two other entrances, Hermione, Ginny circle around and take the entrance on the opposite side, Tonks go back the way we came take two rights and you'll come to the third door, all of you wait for my signal to bust in and get the ladies out, blast anything in your way but leave Voldemort to me, ok? Your main job is to get Amelia and Susan out of this room" Harry asked.
"Ok… wait, what are you going to do?…" Hermione asked
"Me? I'm going to do what I do best… piss him off" Harry said with a smile before turning around and placing his palm against the door near the handle. The girls turned around and rushed back down the corridor to get into position
"Hado #1 : Sho" (Thrust)
Moments Earlier, In The Personal Office of Amelia Bones
Lord Voldemort stood in his glory in the center of the large study. Directly in front of him tied to a chair in conjured ropes sat Amelia Bones, head of the DMLE, the woman spearheading the Ministry's fight against his followers. Off to the side Rabastan and Rudolfus Lestrange stood beside a pair of young girls who were sat on the floor tied up back to back. The first girl was Amelia's Niece Susan and the second girl was Susan's friend Hannah Abbott who had the misfortune to be visiting when they attacked, both girls were weeping as silently as possible. Bellatrix Lestrange stood leaning against the wall behind Amelia and Fenrir Greyback stood slightly behind Voldemort gazing at the captive teenagers with a grin.
"So Madam Bones… how does it feel? To be beaten in your own home by Lord Voldemort…" he said as he stepped forward with a smile.
Amelia sat with her head forward, a small gash hidden beneath her hair caused blood to crawl down the side of her face. Her muscles twitched a few times, an after effect of being subjugated to the Cruciatus curse several times.
"L-Let th… g…" Amelia stuttered out
"What was that? I couldn't quiet hear you…" Voldemort mocked
"Let… the girls go…" Amelia gasped out in pain
"Them? Oh no that won't do at all… you see, my followers seldom get a chance to have some fun nowadays, so I'm afraid these two filthy little Mudbloods will have to provide them with some entertainment for the next several months…" Voldemort said with a smile.
The girls sobs intensified when they heard this, both of them had noticed the way Greyback was looking at them.
Amelia wanted to scream at him, to rip him apart for threatening her family, but she was also angry at another individual, Dumbledore, he had approached her several times asking her to join his organization. She had been hesitant, told him she needed to think about it, but Dumbledore had also promised to help protect them, promised to come help if their manor was ever attacked. It had been twenty minutes since the attack began but still nothing, he had not turned up. Susan was gazing at the door across the room, hoping that somebody would come through it to help them, the Auror corps, Dumbledore… anybody. Voldemort noticed her eyes shooting towards the door.
"Are you expecting somebody? Hmm?…" Voldemort asked as she strolled towards the tied up girls.
"STAY AWAY FROM THEM!" Amelia screamed out with all her might making Voldemort look back at her. "Maybe you expect a hero to come and save you and these little half-blood whores… Dumbledore perhaps? Maybe you expert Harry Potter to come bursting through the door and save the day… Unfortunately that is not going to happen, you die here Amelia Bones and those two will die in some dark room somewhere after being violated hundreds of times… and nobody is coming to save you…"
-BOOM!-
The wooden door exploded open, the lock splintering and kicking up a small cloud of dust.
"Oh man why did you have to say that…" a familiar voice said as a he walked into the room. Everybody was stunned as they saw him in his new look. "… I mean seriously that's almost as bad as saying 'It can't get any worse' or 'At least it's not raining'… saying those kind of things is just inviting some Deus Ex Machina to come bitch slap you across the face" Harry said with his hands in his pockets as he came to a stop in the middle of the room.
Everybody was stunned, Amelia looked up and saw Harry Potter standing across from Voldemort. Susan and Hannah both looked surprised and hopeful, Harry Potter had arrived on the scene to save the girls from the clutches of the evil Dark Lord at the last moment, it was like a scene from one of their dreams when they were little girls.
"So, is anybody gonna say something?" Harry asked as he saw everybody gaping at him
"Potter!" Voldemort snarled as he regained his voice
"Tom" Harry said back
"Don't you dare call me that name!" Voldemort shouted as he cast a wordless disarming charm at Harry. Nothing happened.
"Umm yeah… disarming charms only work if your opponent is actually armed dumbass…" Harry mocked
Voldemort was casting glances at the door Harry had blasted through as if waiting for somebody else to come in.
"He's not here" Harry said making Voldemort look at him curiously.
"Dumbledore… he's not here with me…" Harry explained
"You're a fool Harry… coming here unarmed and without the old man… you won't leave this room alive…" Voldemort said as he held up his wand at Harry
"Any last words Potter?" he asked
"A few so you'd better listen closely… Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens…" Harry said in a dull tone as if he was reading from a book. Voldemort didn't realize what Harry was up to until it was too late. Harry held up his left hand and pointed his open palm at Voldemort, he raised his right hand to the side and pointed his palm at the Lestrange Brothers
"Hado #63 : Soren Sokatsui" (Twin Lotus, Blue Fire Crash Down)
Without warning a pair of blue spheres of energy gathered in Harry's hands and fired at their respected targets. Voldemort was quick, he raised a powerful shield just in time for the energy ball to explode, the shield shattered and he was thrown back by the force smashing into Amelia's desk. The Lestrange brothers weren't as lucky, the blast hit them dead on the explosion send them backwards smashing through a large window that lead into the back garden on the ground floor. Bellatrix and Greyback were stunned but quickly snapped out of it. Bellatrix pulled her wand while Greyback simply lunged at Harry with his werewolf abilities.
At the same time two pairs of doors burst open, from the door nearest the bound girls emerged Tonks, she quickly let loose a volley of stunning spells at Greyback forcing him to dodge.
Meanwhile near Bellatrix the door burst open showing Hermione and Ginny.
Hermione rushed towards Susan and Hannah to help them, she cast a quick cutting curse to free them from the ropes and led them out of the room.
At the same time Ginny had locked eyes with Bellatrix Lestrange for a moment and she had felt anger well up inside of her, Bellatrix pulled her wand up ready to cast a spell but Ginny was faster, moving with lightning speed she pulled her wand up and screamed.
"BOMBARDA!" a powerful bludgeoning hex flew from Ginny's wand and struck Bellatrix in the chest, the force of the spell sent the Death Eater backwards, into and straight thru the wooden wall behind her, Bellatrix smashed through the wall and landed face first in Amelia's bedroom covered in splinters and coughing up blood, after disposing of Bellatrix, Ginny covered Hermione as she lead Susan and Hannah out of the room.
Harry saw that Tonks was keeping Greyback busy dodging instead of going after the girls and Voldemort was still trying to pick himself up from the table. Harry noticed that Greyback was getting closer to Tonks so he concentrated on him first.
"Bakudo #4 : Hainawa" (Crawling Rope) Harry said quickly just as Greyback leapt at a wide eyed Tonks. A beam of light shot out of Harry's fingers, the light shot towards Greyback before winding around him like a rope holding his arms at his sides and his legs together. Greyback fell to the ground with a thump struggling with the glowing bindings.
Tonks ran past Greyback and towards her boss.
"Diffindo!" Tonks said with a slash of her wand, the ropes holding Amelia Bones were sliced and fell away. Tonks grabbed the former captive by the arm and pulled up from the chair and out of the room.
"Just you and me now Tom" Harry said as Voldemort finally stood up shakily.
"W-What was that?" he asked in anger "What was that power?"
"This power? You'll never know… Hado #3 : Byakurai!" (Pale Lightning) a bolt of electrical energy shot from the tip of Harry's pointer finger towards Voldemort. With a loud pop Voldemort disapparated with a scowl on his face, the bolt of lightning struck Amelia's desk and shattered it to pieces.
"Damn it!" Harry cursed as he realized Voldemort had escaped. He was so frustrated he didn't notice Greyback breaking free of his bindings. Greyback quickly drew his wand and pointed it at Harry's back.
"Avada…"
Meanwhile downstairs
Hermione, Ginny and Tonks had just arrived in the living room downstairs with their rescued hostages, Susan and Hannah were in tears and hugging each other, Tonks was casting a few healing spells at Amelia, Hermione was keeping a look out for anybody following them and Ginny was worrying about leaving Harry alone to fight that monster.
With her mind made up she took off from the others and started bounding up the stairs back towards Amelia's study despite the shouts of Hermione to come back.
Ginny rushed into the room to see something that scared her, Greyback was drawing his wand and pointed t at Harry's back.
As Greyback started cast the spell Ginny acted on instinct, in the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of metal, a letter opener shaped like a dagger laying atop a desk next to the door, she grabbed it and with unnatural skill threw it at Greyback. The blade sailed through the air flawlessly.
"Avada…Kaghhh" Greyback gurgled and dropped his wand as the blade plunged into the side of his throat, blood poured freely from the wound to the floor as steam hissed from the wound, black veins appeared around the wound reaching up to his head and down his neck disappearing under his robes.
Harry had heard Greyback speak and turned around in time to see the knife enter him. Ginny and Harry watched for about ten second before Greyback fell to the ground clutching his wound, he tried to pull the knife out but his hand recoiled each time as if burned. After a few more moments Greyback stopped struggling, and died.
Harry walked emotionlessly towards Ginny and hugged her.
"You ok?" he asked
"Yeah… I… I didn't feel anything… I killed him and didn't feel anything, no happiness no guilt… nothing…" Ginny said sadly a she looked at Greyback's body.
"You saved my life Ginny, it was him or us" Harry reassured her
Several minutes later Harry and Ginny made their way downstairs to the living room to regroup.
"How is everyone?" Harry asked
"Director Bones is going to need a few days rest but they'll be fine…" Tonks reassured.
"Good. Tom got away, and it looks like Bellatrix and the Lestrange Brothers escaped too, when I blasted Voldemort the wards fell and they were able to Apparate… Greyback's dead, stabbed with a silver letter opener…" Harry omitted it was Ginny who had thrown the knife.
"Ouch, silver plus Werewolf, bad combination… or good combination depending on how you look at the situation" Tonks joked
"Thank you Mr Potter… we owe you our lives…" Amelia said as she stood up
"Given the circumstances you can call me Harry… and don't worry about it, as someone I care about once said, I have a 'Saving People thing'" Harry said with a grin making Hermione smile
"Did Dumbledore send you?" Amelia asked cautiously
"No, in fact he's probably still in a meeting discussing how he and his group are going to save you… so given their history of response times I'd say we have about twenty minutes until they get here… and I can tell you that they wouldn't have been nearly as stylish as we were" Harry said with a grin trying to lighten the mood..
Amelia was annoyed, she was suddenly glad she hadn't yet agreed to join the Order.
"So if Dumbledore didn't send you then why are you here?… Not that I'm complaining…" Amelia added at the end
"I disagree with how Dumbledore is fighting Voldemort, so I'm forming my own group to fight Voldemort my own way. None of this hiding in the shadows crap that the headmaster is pulling, these are the current members, Hermione, Ginny and I believe you already know Tonks…" Harry said pointing to each of the girls.
"I see, well… count me in…" Amelia said with a smile. "E-Excuse me?" Harry asked not quite understanding. "I'm joining… I may not be able to always fight beside you but I can give you a lot of support from inside the ministry… Dumbledore had been trying to get me to join his Order for the same reason… I didn't join immediately because of his reluctance to outright strike back at Voldemort… you however seem to have no problem taking the fight to him" Amelia said with a smile
"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Harry asked
"Harry, he attacked me in my home and threatened the only family I have left… I'll help you…" Amelia said with confidence making Harry smile
"Thank you Madam Bones…"
"Given the circumstances you can call me Amelia… but can I ask you one question, why were you so quick to trust me with information about your group, you do realized you are basically Vigilantes?" Amelia asked
"I trust you because my parents trusted you" Harry answered
"What do you mean?" Amelia asked
"You were in their Will… if my godparents were unable to take me in then they wanted you to raise me…" Harry revealed
"W-What! But your parents didn't have a will, I was assured!" Amelia shouted angrily
"Assured by whom?" Harry said as he pulled a copy of his parents will from his bag and passed it to his new Ally.
Amelia took the will and read it through gritting her teeth in anger as she read the name of the wills witness.
'Dumbledore…' she cursed the name in her mind
"Oh I'll be having words with the old fool about this too!"
"Not yet though… Dumbledore doesn't know we're breaking from him and I don't want him to know anything about us until July 31st, not about us being here today and not about the will" Harry said
Amelia nodded in understanding
Suddenly the air was split by half a dozen loud popping sounds.
Amelia was immediately on guard.
"What now!" she asked worried that the Death Eaters had returned.
"Don't worry, that would be Dumbledore coming to 'Rescue' you…" Harry said as he glanced out the window and sure enough Dumbledore was leading half a dozen wizards and witches across the grounds including Hestia, Moody and Remus.
"Back door?" Harry asked.
"This way…" Amelia said as she stood up and lead the group towards the back of the house, Susan and Hannah joined them. They walked out to the back garden and turned around. Harry was about to speak but was cut off when he was suddenly glomped by Susan and Hannah.
"Thank you Harry…" Susan said
"You saved us" Hannah finished
Harry smiled as she girls let go of him. Harry looked up and saw the dark mark still hanging in the air. He held up his hand at the mark and spoke.
"Morsemorde!" a bolt of white light shot into the sky above the skull. Everybody watched in amazement as in the sky, the image of a beautiful black phoenix dove from the clouds and sunk it's talons into the skull cracking it, the phoenix then spread it's wings and held it's head up in pride.
"Wow…" Hannah said in amazement
"So tell me Harry… what's the name of this group of yours?" Amelia asked as she looked down from the phoenix.
Harry smiled as he answered.
"The Order of the Midnight Phoenix" the last two words spoken activated their portkeys and the fours teenagers were swept away back to Grimmauld place. Amelia smiled.
"He was right, they are more stylish…"
To Be Continued…
