As for signing your papers, take a long walk on a short pier you senile incompetent." These were fighting words but I was a simple student being snotty.

That of course didn't sit well with the head man. His wand shot out in a flash and being a tad shocked I raised my hand in a reflex action and willed him to stop. Many thoughts flashed through my mind like there was plenty of time to raise a shield but that would start a duel. I did want to protect Minerva and myself against the famed Dumbledore but how do you stop the most powerful wizard of our time?

I have never felt a rush like that in my life. All I can say is that it felt like my condensed magic left my hand and unfolded in a rush, the result was startling. Not only was Dumbledore frozen in place but the spell he was casting was still attached to his wand as if frozen in time like Dumbledore.

"Squawk"

Dumbledore's bird seems to give me a glaring look, leaped up and flew to land on Dumbledore's desk. The bird looked into his face or eyes and gives an uncomfortable warble. The bird leaps up and seemed to flash to me. All I could do was put up my arm to protect myself but the bird just landed on my arm. As large as it was it was so light as in not weighting anything. It looks me in the eye for a minute and poof it was gone in a flash.

'Rennervate' I tried on Minerva and she came around quickly. "What is the $^&*&% trying to do this time?"

"I have no idea but I think he tried a memory charm on me as he then started ordering me to tell him things and sign some papers." I wasn't overly sure.

"Well we will soon find out." Minerva went to the fireplace, "DMLE Madam Bones please." Minerva then stuck her head in the fire.

Minutes later Madam Bones and two Aurors stepped out of the fireplace took one look at Dumbledore and started laughing. After Minerva stated she wanted to press charges the Aurors took statements. They waved their wands over Dumbledore and his wand. "That's a memory charm coming out of his wand" stated the tall Auror, Lets bring him around and see what he has to say. They couldn't break the spell or whatever I put on him so they turned to me.

"Lord Potter would you mind?" as Madam Bones pointed to Dumbledore.

'Rennervate' I pushed some magic in to my hand. Well it worked but I got some odd looks from everyone except Dumbledore who was confused as to what had happened. I also had to side stepped the spell which also became unfrozen.

"What?" I asked.

"Harry not only did you do that without your wand but you set the hair bristling on everyone. Further you did the same spell we did yet ours didn't work. I think it's about time we had Madam Pomfrey do a power level check on you."

The Headmaster was escorted away to face charges of memory charming a Lord plus a few other charges Minerva happily provided. Those charges lasted two days before Dumbledore was back again. While I got out of seeing Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore got out of the charges, he could only see me if Minerva and an Auror being present.

/Scene Break/

The following week, "Potter see me after the class is dismissed." Snape sneered.

When the last student had cleared the room Snape used his wand to close the door, seal it and put up a silencing spell. He then turned to me and yelled, 'Legilimens'.

I am nothing special when you come down to it but you are who you are and have someone else's memories…well…having your mind read can be a bit odd for the reader if he doesn't like what he finds.

We all have looked in the mirror and seen ourselves reflected back. The memory I brought up was one that I had from Tom Riddle's older memories. So when I felt Snape charging into my mind I put that image in front for Snape to view. Then there was the memory where my father snatched Snape up by his ankle exposing his dirty underwear as it was seen by Riddle those many years ago. I then unwrapped some black ribbon memories and hurled them at Snape.

What Snape was doing was not mind reading but receiving images, how he interpreted them or what he thought he saw never entered my mind. While the black ribbon memories were gruesome for me to see I had to distract Snape from my real memories. Snape soon left my mind and young Riddle's memories. I then got, "Get out!".

I 'faded' to the Headmasters office and hovered in spirit form until Snape slithered in to the office. When I appeared Fawkes looked straight at me as if it knew I was there. Snape appeared, "Albus you not only have a dark wizard in Potter but he is accompanying the Dark Lord on some of his killing trips."

"The poor boys gone dark all we can do now is control him and lock him away somewhere. Severus keep a keen eye on him to see if he tries to turn any other students dark."

Just then I had a flashback to one of the last things I had said to Dumbledore ("Well me and Tom Riddle have been hanging out at his pad with the boys."). Oh was I in for it now. I left laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

/Scene Break/

I staggered into the Gryffindor common still laughing.

"What has you in such a good mood? Lavender asked. She was sitting with the rest of the rumor club, the Patil twins. Tina was hanging out with them on one of the couches by the fireplace. I decided that Dumbledore manipulation needed a little retaliation and the rumor club was here and ready to gossip...So!

"Oh Merlin, where do I start.?" I flopped down into one of the chairs. "The last time I was in Dumbledore office he tried to memory modify me and Professor McGonagall. He thought that he had succeeded with me so he asked me where I was living and I said with Voldemort and a bunch of his guys." I got a number of gasps while I told them this information.

"You shouldn't do things like that Harry." Tina huffed.

"Do I hear the ghost of Hermione Granger?" I shot back.

"Don't mind her continue your story Harry." Padma urged me on.

"Well he's been trying to control me at every turn, hell he has memory charmed McGonagall at least four-times all in an attempt to control me. He probably wants my vaults."

"Harry! That is not nice to say about Dumbledore he has our interest at heart and..." Lavender interrupted.

"So what did he just do to have you laughing so much?"

"This time he sent his attack dog Snape on me, Snape tried to illegally read my mind." I tried to control my snickering. "Anyhow I have these memories of Voldemort that I threw at Snape and he came to a stupid conclusion which he reported to Dumbledore." I had to stop as my tale to the girls. The memories of what those two came up with overcame me again producing another bout of me laughing.

"Harry take a deep breath and quit laughing your ruining the story." Lavender huffed.

"Party-pooper! Anyhow Snape must have read it wrong and reported to Dumbledore that I am dark and out with Voldemort killing muggles. So Dumbledore says he will find somehow to control me and for the present for Snape to make sure I don't turn any of you dark. I wonder what underhanded plan they come up with to monitor and control me."

About that time Tina jumps up and raced out of the common room.

"Was it something that I said?" When no one said anything I got up and followed after Tina. I caught up to her just before she entered the girl's bathroom. What I saw made me stop and I just turned and stomped back to the common room. There would be no more laughing this evening. Tina hair was changing colors just like Tonks when she is upset. So that's how the old shit was currently keeping track of me, he already was, he was using Tonks.

The next day at breakfast it was almost like normal although a little subdued between Tina and me. She of course didn't know and I was grinding everything in my poor brain trying to figure out my future actions. I was fine staying here at Hogwarts because of the girlfriends, it just felt right until 'bam' they found other interests. Being about an inch from chucking the school and heading somewhere where I was free to just…Well first I am going to make a couple of people very upset.

It wasn't a proper thing to do but spying on me was the same in my book. The next day I had the opportunity Tina was walking alone with me and I move close. Leaning over close to whisper in her ear as I grabbed her ass and said, "We should make ourselves broom closet closer if your going to report to the old man, Tonks." I got ready to duck, run or a combination of self preservation moves.

"Well aren't you observant, take me to Hogsmeade Village this weekend and will talk about it."

I must say I was surprised, surprised enough that I forgot to remove my hand. "You have a date." I gave her a knowing smirk.

"So you want me to come as Tina or Tonks?"

"As Tina or Tonks or anyway you want to come and as many times as you want." My grin could not get larger and I thought I am one lucky shit or I stepping into Dumbledore's controllers grasps.

I got to give an "Aaacck" as I was leaving as Tina returned the favor and grabbed my butt.

/Scene Break/

Tina turned up for our date to the village and wanted to walk rather than take the carriages, she started, "I think we best talk all this over and it's not going to be easy since the old man is up to his eyeballs in plans and schemes."

"Ok with me there are a few places in town where we can talk unless you want to go to The Three Broom Sticks?

"No Harry you lead on, a quiet day to talk sound great." She slipped her arm in mine as we walked.

"Tonks are you under any oaths requiring you to tell someone about me or what I do?

"No the only oaths I have are a loyalty oath to the Order of the Phoenix, which is mostly that I won't betray it or its secrets."

"I know I am getting ahead of things when I say this but if you are going to be close to me you are going to swear an oath never to repeat what I tell you. So if that's too much I'll walk you back to Hogwarts."

"Ok, why don't we just talk and see how all this falls?"

"So how does tea and croissants sound for breakfast?"

"Good for the figure, yes that's great."

So we went to a little place called Rosa Lee Teabags.

We chatted about each other but by the time lunch came and we entered Brews and Stews Café' it got down to Dumbledore and why Tonks was my shadow.

"Dumbledore originally wanted me to be around you for protection and of course he won't say why Voldemort want you so bad. Now the job has changed because you have turned dark and hangout with Voldemort. He wants me to pick your brains by any means possible. That's why I'm talking to you right now, he meant by ANY means and I'm not that type of girl."

"Oh have you given me an idea." My grin returned but I suspect it was an evil grin. "I have been contemplating about leaving Hogwarts as there is no incentives to stay. Now if you wish to run away with me that could be one plan."

"Too soon Harry"

"Of course, so if you give me an incentive to stay you could give reports that are not quite accurate."

"Good plan but not that type of girl."

"We are hitting an impasse. How about I swear that I am not a follower of Voldemort? Then you could swear that you will not pass on anything I tell you unless I approve. Then if what you hear you don't like you can just leave."

The oaths were sworn and it was dinner time before Tonks really accepted that I was dead but not some Inferi or Poltergeist.

"I know you said you were not that type of girl but would you like to pretend you are, people will talk."

"Go on."

"I have Dumbledore, Draco, Ron and probably half of Slytherin ready to kill me. I know that a cutting curse can cut me and I don't want to find myself cut in half and still alive. So I though if you told Dumbledore that you will do anything and you are that type of girl to get me to spill inside information, I then have a prank for the old man."

"Press on you have my curiosity aroused."

"I was hoping to get you aroused."
