Harry Potter is not mine. This is a story from a fan.
When you're done, You're DONE.
Ch 17 Tonks is blowing her top 1.
It didn't take long for all of them to have some tea and start talking about the life of Harry Potter. It was clear to Amelia that all, of them, believed that Harry Potter was telling the truth about Tom Marvello Riddle. "Who is Marvello Riddle" Rosemerta asked.
Amelia looked at her and was glad she had taken the same oath, as all of them had done. It wasn't a big oath, but it was still an important one. It mostly said that they were on the side of Harry and to keep everything a secret. It was also an oath that would let your, own Magic help you, in keeping it. So Amelia started to tell her, all about the things, she had heard from Hermione and Ronald Weasley through the pensive memories she had seen from Tonks. In those stories, she placed the things she had heard from Hannah and her, own niece to make it more complete.
So while she started she looked at Minerva and hoped she could add the things from the Professors side of it all. "So as you know Mr, Potter is claiming that the Dark Lord has returned. We hope it is something else and he only thinks he saw him. According to you he does not lie so let's say it is true".
"Why would you say something like that" Rosemerta asked with her hand over her heart. "The thought alone gives me the shivers".
Amelia gave a deep sigh and knew there would be a lot of that when she would say it all in the Wizangemot. "Well, we better think he is back. If it turns out he is not it will only be better and easier". this statement gave her a lot of agreeing nods. "After the death of Lily and James albus became the magical guardian of one Harry James Potter. Something he never was and only said he was, because if it is all true, then Sirius Orion Black is his Godfather by the Godfather oath".
"That is kidnapping," Augusta told them as she slammed her fist on the table. "If that is the case what else has been done to that boy Because Neville never told me about that" Augusta fumed as she looked at Amelia, ready to pull her wand.
"I was there that night" the whispered voice from Minerva broke through. "I always thought Albus was it because Albus told me He was his guardian. Sirius was captured and he just took over. So I did know Sirius was his Godfather but that was all I knew".
Augusta was ready to start again but Amelia stopped her. "Not now Augusta, I know Minerva never knew and to be honest, none of us ever doubted it". Augusta wasn't happy but she gave a stiff nod of anger. "Tell us about that night and day". Tonks looked at her boss and wondered why she asked it. He was brought there and that was all they needed to know. Minerva just confirmed it so why ask more?

Sirius was sitting with his hands in his hair. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Remus. "Do I go after him? You know, just to, have a look, if he is alright".
Remus looked at the door and his eyes went up to the place Harry would be. "Well, if there is one who can get through to him it will be you".
"I do not know why you would try it at all. He is just being difficult and you know it"
"MOLLY, WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL READDY" Sirius yelled. "I'm going up and I will see what is troubling him. If not I will leave him alone and see what will happen tonight. Now for all of you, leave him the fuck alone until he comes to you" and Sirius stormed off.
#*
"Nothing much happened. I had been looking at the house he would stay. They were the worst sort of Muggles you could think of. The baby boy they had, had been kicking his mum all over and they never said anything about it. He would be a handful on his own. At night Albus came and I told him everything I had seen. He only told me they were family and that they would love him. It was almost an hour after that, I think it was about an hour. That Hagrid brought Harry with the flying motorcycle from Sirius. Albus left Harry on the doorstep with a letter in his basket and we left".
"You left a toddler on a doorstep in November" Augusta jumped up and pointed at Minerva.
Minerva held up her hands, " Albus told me he would do it. He also told me they knew and would take him in a couple of minutes after we left". Augusta sat down but it was clear she wasn't agreeing with her answer. "After that, I only saw him again when he was sorted".
Amelia was writing everything on paper and knew there was so much more she wanted to ask. Minerva had only told her one thing but she had seen a lot more. "So between the muggle world and Hogwarts, we know nothing, and we are now in his first year. We heard that in their first year, Harry Potter killed a troll" As one they all looked at Minerva.
Minerva nodded slowly, "During Halloween, Professor Quirell came running into the great hall shouting about a troll in the dungeon. Right after he said it he fainted. Albus ordered everyone to go back to their common rooms." Minerva stopped when she saw Amelia's face turn dark and how she started to write, really fast, "What am I missing," Minerva asked".
Amelia dropped her muggle pen and looked at her. Slowly she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Well, it was one thing I heard before and I hope it wasn't so. But where are the common rooms for Slytherin and Hufflepuff".
Minerva looked at her in surprise. "In the Dungeons where they always are". The moment she said it, she placed her hand over her mouth. "It was where the Troll was located, So Albus didn't think about it or it could have gone, terribly wrong". Amelia nodded as she knew that Minerva was thinking the same thing as she was. Amelia also knew that Minerva would never allowed it if she had been thinking straight at that time. It made her think about the potions Albus was using on the members of the Order. The more she heard, the more it sounded that he was doing the same thing at Hogwarts.
It was only a couple of minutes later that, we heard that Ronald Weasley had bullied Hermione Granger after their charms lesson. She had locked herself up in a bathroom and Harry went out to find her. He ignored the order to go back to his Common room. When we found them the Troll was lying on the floor with the back of his head blown out. The kids never knew it but we saw it when we were removing it".
Amelia looked at her notes and wondered if she would ask about the duel between Harry and Draco Malfoy.

Sirius had made his way up the stairs. When he got to the room of Harry he knocked softly. He could hear something like a scream but he didn't think much about it. It was so soft he must have startled him. After a couple of minutes of waiting, Harry opened the door. Sirius looked at him and saw that he looked terrible. He didn't say a thing and hoped he would come to him when he needed him.
As Harry invited him into his room he had a little look around. He had chosen the best room on the floor for him. He knew Albus wanted him in the room with Ronald, but he didn't know why, he wanted it, but he wanted it for some reason. For, Sirius it was a sign to find a private place for his godson and near someone he trusted. He did not know if Harry trusted Tonks but he did. She had been the one to open their eyes and she had also been the one who wanted the best for Harry.
Harry had his trunk in the corner with everything still in it. As he looked in it he saw about six sets of clothes. "Are those all the clothes you have".
Harry looked at the trunk and nodded as he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't need much".
Sirius shook his head slowly. As he looked further around the room he only saw his own stuff and that of his family but nothing from Harry. "You do know that you will be staying here for about four weeks, so you can spice it up with your own pictures".
"I don't have any Sirius," Harry told him. "Hell before I met you I didn't know anything about my parents, They all said they were wonderful but nothing more. The only one who said something bad was Severus. But then again he has nothing good to say at all".
"I think that is our fault. We bullied him quite a bit".
"So because you have been an ass together with My father and Remus. He has the right to bully me. I'm done Sirius, I'm done with all of it".
Sirius gave him a little smirk while he looked his godson up and down. "You know, I'm all for it it is about time you show them that you are a Potter. Tonight there will be a meeting of the Order and you can join it if it is up to me". After that, Sirius got up and left him alone. When he had closed the door he realized he was none the wiser.
#*
Amelia left the duel for what it was and went to the end of the year. "We know about the end of the year and also about the tasks, I want to know who made them and why were Harry and his friends the three students to go for the stone".
Minerva gave a little sigh, "I told Albus they were looking for it. I also told him they thought Severus was the one who wanted it. The night he left, Harry and the others went to save it. They did it and we found Harry unconscious in the last chamber. Later that night I heard that he had faced Voldemort". This was all Amelia needed to know for now. There was more she wanted to know but that would come later.
Amelia nodded and knew that the mirror was placed there by Albus himself because only he could have gotten his hands on it. So, let's go to their second year. Why wasn't I informed that there had been a petrification as soon as it happened". Amelia looked up at Minerva and saw her saying Albus without making a sound. "So Albus thought he could do it all himself again and in the end, it was Again Herry who had to do it. What do you know about the Basilisk".
"I only know that Harry was down there and told a story about a younger Voldemort and that he had killed the beast". Minerva looked at the table for a moment. She hated that Amelia was grilling her this way but she knew why. She trusted Albus but last year he had gone too far. She did not believe that Albus was using the boy but he was doing something or keeping something from them.
"So, you do not know he was bitten by the beast. I know it sounds unbelievable but I had a talk with Poppy and she confirmed it. Harry has its venom running through him, and so do the phoenix tears. The only thing I want to know was why he wasn't brought to St Mongus after it and also why again I wasn't informed about it".
Minerva could not answer her but her mind was with Harry. Most of the things were kept from them too. It was after that, that Minerva told them all about third and fourth year. When she was done Amelia turned to the old Battlaxe. "Now, Augusta tell me, how far have you influenced Harry to be the next Lord Potter".
Augusta smiled a little smirk. "Not that much. I made sure he got a couple of books so he would know the basics. I also sent his letters through Neville so Albus would not get them. He knows better than to take my mail from Neville". Augusta took a drink and went on. "It all started when his name came out of the Goblet of Fire. When his friends turned their backs on him, Neviile got the opportunity to get closer to him. Before this, they were keeping him away. When they started to talk I learned a lot more than I wanted to know, even more than I heard now, But I'm getting off track, his upbringing had prepared him more than he knew he only needed a little more tweaking. I can even say he did more for Neville than we did for him".

Around four in the afternoon, Tonks got back to the Headquarters. Like always she stumbled over the Umbrella stand and landed flat on her face. As she looked up she saw Harry standing there smirking down while he looked at her. "KILL THE MUDBLOODS. THAT FILTH IN MY HOUSE BLOODTRATERS EVERYWHERE". Tonks shook her head as she heard the voice of Walburga Black going off. Harry frowned and pushed himself away from the wall. As he looked around the corner he saw a very big painting of a very ugly woman screaming at all of them. Sirius rushed from the kitchen as Harry was walking to the painting.
"Harry let me or she will never shut" Sirius stopped as Harry lifted his hand to stop him.
Harry kept looking at the painting as it went on and on. His Uncle had been screaming at him all of his life and this was nothing new. YOU FILTHY BLOOD. "BITCH" Harry said and Walburga went quiet. Never had she seen eyes like the eyes of Harry looking at her. Harry gazed to the side where he saw Sirius looking at him with his mouth hanging open. Harry gave him a smirk and looked back at the painting. "Let me guess, you like the way the DarkLord does things" He asked as he kept on looking at the painting. Walburga was speechless and only nodded. "So you like a Dark Lord that kills off ancient families and one that even killed your own son Regulus Black".
"YOU ARE LYING" Walburga screamed.
"Really, just ask someone in another painting and they will tell you. This DarkLord is only a Halfblood and does not give a damn about the families, not one bit". Harry turned as Walburga started to scream again. He put his hand to his sleep and rubbed it around in circles as he walked to the kitchen.
Tonks got back to her feet and followed him. Never had Walburga stopped screaming at them but this time she had. Tonks did not know why or how he had done it, but Harry did. As she walked in she only saw Sirius and Harry sitting there. "Where are the others".
"Molly has taken them to Diagonalley to do their Hogwarts shopping," Sirius told them. Just as Harry was about to say something Sirius held out his key to him. "Molly still had your key and told me she would not do it anymore until you show some respect".
"Then she is in for a long wait," Harry told them as she went to the counter. There was one thing he always did when he was stressed and that was to cook. The smell filled the house and one by one some of the Order members that stayed behind were stumbling in. Harry had nothing against them he just didn't trust them to stand by him. He knew they were standing behind Albus and that was okay for him. But he needed to know they had a mind of their own but it looked like they didn't. So he just placed the plates with the food on the table and went on.
Tonks was sitting on the other side of the table and had a clear look at the way Harry was holding himself. As he was cooking his eyes went all over. He was taking everything in and she could see that he was paying attention to things she was also looking at. He was calculating with everything he was doing and she respected it. But the other thing she saw happening was that he was rubbing the side of his head over and over again. He was also rubbing his scar which looked more red. "Harry" she started, "Why don't you lay down for a bit? I will help you to buy your things after your hearing. If the Wizangemot wants to expel you, you can always go to another school. Sorry to say this but you are the boy who lived. Every school will be rolling over backward"s to get you. They can snap your wand and they might expel you. But you have options if they do. The house of Potter is held by the Goblins, not by the Wizangemot". Harry gave her a small nod and left the kitchen. "Sirius, I have to go and check on something, You keep an eye on him and if he wants to talk, please talk because he has talked more to your mother than he has done to any of us". Tonks didn't wait for a response and left the house.

Amelia had been sitting in Rosemerta's bar a lot longer than she wanted to. The only one who was still sitting with her had been Augusta. They had been reading the notes she had written down and were making a battle plan. "Do you think Albus is doing bad things?" Augusta asked Amelia while she was looking at her intently. The sound of her question sounded childish but she knew why Augusta asked it. She didn't know how else to ask because like all of them, they had respected him a lot, and the thought of him being bad was just a little too much for a lot of them.
"I think he is but not with the intent of hurting someone. He has been keeping all of his secrets close to him. He knows more than any of us and that makes him paranoid. After Voldemort had been defeated he took the three highest places there were. He knows all and he has his fingers in every pot. The muggles say, Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts everything, or something like that. Now it does not mean he is bad but it could mean he is corrupted in his own mind. So he might have other thoughts than we have, and we have to find out what they are. Let's hope he hasn't done a lot more".
Amelia looked back at her notes and gave a deep sigh. "I only hope we can Get to Harry before he gets into the Wizangemot. Fudge and Lucius are playing a dangerous game and we have to shut them down right there".
Augusta laughed a little. " You do not have to worry about Mr. Potter. My grandson has taught him well. Harry will know when we start our play, let's just hope he does not have the temper of his father".
"I hope he does," Amelia said as she almost burst out in laughter when she saw her look. "If he is anything like Lily he will throw curses first before he asks what they had said".
This time Augusta did laugh, "I forgot all about her. She was one pain in the ass if she wanted to be. and brought the dynamite to blast with it if she had to". It was then that the two ladies looked at the door where Susan and Neville walked in. Both had swollen lips from kissing and had goofy smiles on their faces. "You two had a nice time I see" making the teens blush from head to toe.
#*
Tonks looked at the big building. She did not know why she wanted to come here but she knew she had to. Slowly she walked up the steps and pushed open the big door. There were some people sitting on the benches. The one she looked for she didn't see right away. He might be in his office but could she bother him with this? "Follow me miss" sounded from behind her. Tonks jumped a foot in the air as she turned around with her hand on her heart. She wanted to scream something but when she saw a nun standing before her she swallowed her reply.
She did not know where this nun was leading her but somehow they went deeper than she ever thought they could go under a church. When she got to a round room she saw why she was brought there. On the floor was a pentagram and a stone altar on the side. As she looked around the nun grabbed her hand and pulled her along to a side room. "Sit down miss and we will tell you all you need to know".
Tonks looked at the eleven people sitting in front of her all with hoods pulled over their heads. As she looked at the nun that had taken her there, she could see her pulling on her own robe. So Tonks swallowed deep and Looked at the person right in front of her. "I'm here to ask you all about the magic of Morgana. As you all know I'm with a boy named Harry James Potter. It's said that he has the power of Morgana through his grandmother Dorea Potter/ Black".
"He does not have it from his grandmother alone. He has it from both of them his grandmother and his mother".
"They both were part of a coven," Tonks asked in astonishment.
"Dorea was, Lilly Potter was not. There was a war and she would join after it. On her death she awakened the power of Morgana in the young Lord".
Tonks was again stunned when she heard this bit of information "So he has the magic could, you tell me what it is". She almost knew she wouldn't get an answer but she had to try.
"The magic of Morgana was special and it helped her hold off the bad and let in the good. It had a mind of its own and would steer her right. The boy has it and he is reaching out for help. It will increase his magic and it will keep him healthy"
"Does it also remove potions that are added to a body?" Tonks asked.
"WHO IS DRUGGING THE BOY" one person screamed as a hood was dropped.
Tonks was looking with an open mouth at the one person who said it. Before she knew what she had done she had lifted her wand and pointed it right at her head.

Harry had walked out of the kitchen and slowly made his way up the stairs. He had the same trouble he had before the start of last year. He was having visions of Voldemort. Only this time they became more horrific by the day. He wanted to talk to someone and he could only think of Albus. Still Albus never really helped him and he hated it. The worst was that he saw it almost all the time. He saw it during the day when he was awake, and even at night when he was asleep.
As he walked on to his room he was thinking of Tonks. She gave him this feeling of peace. He didn't know why but she did. "Harry can I talk to you". Harry heard the voice and wanted to run into his room. He had no patience to do this but he knew he had to one of these days. So he stopped and turned around. He wanted to say Hi Hermione but he couldn't. She had hurt him badly by ignoring him. He knew they had done it, because of the order of Dumbledore but who was he? Who was he to decide whether he and his friends could talk or not? He wasn't going around telling people to not talk to him.
"Harry, I'm sorry. I know I screwed up and I".
Harry opened his door and walked in. Hermione had stopped talking and followed him. As she sat on his bed she waited. When she knew he was calm she started again. "Harry, I'm sorry. I know I screwed up and I have a lot to make up for".
"You all have hurt me more than you know. I don't think I can trust you as I did. You were my friends but you just left me be". Hermione nodded as she looked down. "I didn't go back when you were in the bathroom. I didn't stop when Ginny was taken. and I didn't stop when Sirius was in danger. I even didn't stop when Cedric asked me to bring his body back. It is what friends do. I do it for you and you just dropped me because someone told you to. Did he give you a reason because I don't know of a good one".
Hermione was already crying because she knew she had done him wrong. "Yes, I know that now" she mumbled.
"I know you know it, but it is just hard to trust again. It isn't the first time you did it. I know you have a problem with older people, but they could be wrong too. You see how they all thought Sirius was the one who betrayed my parents. But none would listen to us when we told them otherwise. So Let's just be friends for now and we will see if we can become best friends again. For now, you just have to wait".
Hermione nodded, "What about Ron," she asked.
"He has to do it all by himself just as the others. For now will you please let me sleep for a bit? I seem to not get enough sleep the last couple of weeks".
Hermione nodded again and left the room. She went back to her own room and thought about the things Harry had told her. She knew he was right, but it still hurt her a bit. Before she knew it she was sitting there thinking for over an hour. "NO, CEDRIC". She was taken out of her thoughts. It was the voice of Harry and she rushed out of her room. In the hallway, she saw all of them standing there looking at the door.
"Where have you been, he has been screaming for over an hour," Ron told her.
Hermione didn't know what to say, but she was wondering if she had to rush in there. When the door opened she knew she didn't need to, but Harry looked worse than when she had left him.

"YOU BITCH" Tonks screamed as she pointed her wand at Rita Skeeter. "You even know how many lies you wrote about him, how it is hurting him. It is because we are here or I would have blown your head off right now". Rita wanted to say something but Tonks wasn't done. "O NO you don't, I have a bone to pick with you. And I do not care if there are sisters here because I'm not done". Tonks was blowing her top and didn't see the other sisters smiling as all of them removed their hoods. "You listen here you BiT... Piece of Shi... Sisters could you leave the room while I tear her a New... You are making it hard being here".
"We are not nuns Tonks, we are coven sisters," one of the nuns told her.
Tonks gave a little smirk and turned back to Rita Skeeter. "Alright, you piece of Shit. Why in Merlin's name are you writing all that shit about Harry".
"Harry is it" Rita started as she got a glint in her eyes. The moment she wanted to smile, her smile dropped as she saw the eyes of Tonks and her wand lighting up. "I had to keep my cover. I spy for the coven and a little for the Ministry. It will end when Harry takes his place".
"It will end right now," Tonks told her as she pointed her wand straight at her head.
The oldest woman walked over to her and placed her hand on the wand. Slowly she pushed it down and looked at Tonks. The Coven is ancient and Harry has his place. Rita is a member but in the years we too had to change our ways. Some of us are here full-time and some part-time. Rita is working for us by keeping their eyes away and telling us what we need to know. Just like Shara Over there. She is working at Madam Melkins and can tell us when the new kids have arrived. She is also keeping an eye on how the new ones are introduced. She was the one to tell us that Hagrid had taken Harry for his shopping".
"Hagrid is not authorized to take new students for their first visit. He does not know what to tell them. Hell, Everyone knows all about Harry but he knows nothing about himself. How the hell can he explain it to him? In Merlin's name, he doesn't even know the half of it himself. So How can he tell it to Harry while everyone is looking at him? Let alone bring him to Gringots. In Goddes's name, I hate the little shits and they hate Hagrid. So he has to introduce him or give them the key. I do not even think Harry had his key. If so then how".
"TONKS" the oldest woman screamed again.
"WHAT" Tonks screamed and immediately looked down at the floor "Sorry sister, I almost lost it".
"We know, but it is not the time. Harry needs you, so what was it you wanted to know".
Tonks was guided to a seat and looked around. "Well, the pastor told me something about Morgana. He also told me something about the magic of Morgana being in Harry. I wanted to know if it is dangerous or not".
"It is", a sister told her. "But only dangerous for the one who is going against him. His magic will tell him. If he is in tune with his magic that is, he will be able to make up his mind".
"He is already doing that" Tonks mumbled.
"Really, and he is what seventeen".
"Fifteen. and he can do a whole lot more if the stories are true," Tonks told them as her face turned sad.
"They are true, and I have seen a lot of it," Rita told her. "I see a lot more than I tell. I'm and Beatle animagus and I have been following the boy for a Long time. I was there when he defeated a Troll. I was also there when he produced a Patronus in the quidditch game. So all the other things I can and will believe right away".
"Why are you here and why write all of those bad things about Harry" Tonks asked her with a little venom in her voice. It was less than she had used before but she still had a little anger towards Rita.
"I have to," she told her. I might be working for the prophet and witch weekly, But I'm also working for the coven. We have always been helping kids and Harry Potter should have been one of them. We could not get to him because Albus took him away. But from the moment he came back, we kept our eye on him. At first, he was the boy they all thought he was a hero. Then when he did something against Lucius it all went downhill. Fudge and Umbridge were against him and did everything to get him down. I was one of the people to help them. I did it because I could be on the front row to bring them down themselves when the time was right".
"So you are willing to speak up when we need you" Tonks asked her.
"Yes but only when it is clear they will go down. For now, you have to go back because Harry will need you" The eldest of the nuns told her. Tonks nodded and left. On the outside of the church, she realized she hadn't learned a thing.
"Mother superior. do you think she knows she is touched by his magic" one of the sisters asked as the High priest walked in.
"NO, she doesn't and it will be something the both of them will find out together when the time is right," She told her as she looked at the stairs that lead up to the church.
This is it again for this time see you all in two weeks.
