I know I said that there would be two more chapters, three at tops, but fact is...this is the last chap
-hides-
I'm sorry! I couldn't find any way to extend it! But I AM planning a sequel...
jollander: No, I'm not planning a harrymorpher, and that rumour of Harry being a metamorphmagus because he was able to grow his hair back without a wand when he was five; I don't really believe in that rumour...sure, Harry grew his hair out, but what about all those other times when he did magic without magic? Like when he supposedly flew up on the roof of his old school when Dudley and his gang was chasing him? Or when he blew up his aunt? What about those times? He didn't use a wand there either...the fact that he uses magic without a wand is called 'accidentical magic', as I'm sure you know...you can't get into Hogwarts unless you've performed some sort of accidentical magic...
And yes, I know that love potions and stuff like that are illegal, but since the feeling of the passion orb only last about a minute or so, I thought that it might be like that in it's case...
frozen phoenix: Ted Tonks, was/is not a muggle, let me qute Tonks from the fifth book: "My dad is muggle-born, and he's a right-old slob..."
He's a muggle-BORN, as I stated in the last chap...
padfootstwin2: No, he's not gonna use it...but MAYBE in the sequel...(-gasp- is Flametongue gonna write a lemon?)
And thanks to you others who reviewed, but I don't have the time to thank all of you, I'm a busy man, you know? There are parties to go to, beer that have to be poured, girls to go out with and -beep-...and a lot of other things I need to do!
Disclaimer: I don't own it...deal with it!
Very funny
The following days Harry and Tonks went to places like Cambridge, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield. Harry hadn't had such a good summer since the first time he visited the Burrow. No day was like the other, Tonks always found a way to surprise Harry.
They had just arrived in Liverpool and Harry was currently bugging Tonks with the usual question;
"So, what do you have planned for today?" He said, pretending not to know the answer.
And Tonks responded with the very obvious answer, the one she had been using the whole trip. "Secret." She grinned mischievously at Harry.
Harry sighed and rolled his eyes. "Why can't you tell me just once so I'll be able to prepare?" He said, slightly irritated. "Remember what happened in Nottingham?"
Tonks giggled as she thought back about it. That evening in Nottingham she had magically made Harry's beard grow out to make him look older. She brought him to a wizard bar and insisted on him to try one of her favourite drinks; the phoenix pinion. Harry who didn't want to appear week had downed the unusually small shot glass at once, however after he put it down he felt the taste of the strongest yet sweetest liquor he had tasted. The drink had made Harry's head do a mental loop and made his voice sound so deep that when he spoke, Tonks had fallen off of her chair laughing. When she had stopped laughing she told him that she lied about it being her favourite drink, she had actually never tried it. This of course, made Harry lust for revenge. He had successfully persuaded Tonks to try it too. After downing it, she fell off the chair again, only this time because of the loop her head made. The memory of rest of the evening was blurred, they had started a shot contest with fire-whisky, and they woke up next day in the car, both with a major hangover. Thankfully, Tonks had used her wand to shave off Harry's beard before they went out on the road again.
Well, back to present time.
They parked the car and went to look for a hotel. As they passed a school they saw a bunch of guys about Harry's age playing basket. Tonks stared at them for a while with a puzzled look on her face. Harry, seeing her expression smirked. "It's called basketball." He said.
"I knew that!" Tonks said quickly and turned to face him. "I just…well…okay I didn't know."
Harry laughed. Tonks hmph'ed and turned around and continued to watch the players.
"So," She asked. "How do you play it?"
Harry shrugged. "Kinda like quidditch; except there's no brooms and only oneball, and only one goal hoop instead of three. You can't hold the ball still in your hands for more than three seconds, or three steps, you'll have to dribble the ball.
"Dribble?" Tonks looked confused.
"Bounce it." Harry said.
Suddenly one of them made a misguided pass and the ball flew over the fence, flying straight at Tonks. However, she caught it like a professional.
"Hey gothic!" One of the players said and put his hands on the fence with a smirk. "Pass me the ball will ye?"
Tonks smiled sweetly, she jumped and threw the ball over the fence, sending it straight into the goal hoop.
The eyes of the guy who had asked her to pass him the ball widened, then he smiled and asked "You mates wanna play?"
Harry and Tonks looked at eachother, then they grinned and looked at the guy. "Alright!"
When Harry was in primary school, one of his best subjects was sports, as long as Dudley weren't in the same class to mess everything up for Harry. Tonks was very good at it, even though she had never played before, she had played chaser in her quidditch team when she was at Hogwarts,she fumbled with the balla couple of timesthough.
Harry got the ball and dribbled his way around the opponents, he was right at the goal hoop when Tonks got in his way. She grinned evilly at him and tried to grab the ball. Harry chuckled and turned his back at her; bouncing the ball back and forth while Tonks tried to smack it out of his hands by putting her arms around his waist and in under his arms. Harry grabbed the ball in both his hands.
"Watch this." He smirked at her as he in two steps ran around her and on the third leapt into the air and dunked the ball in the hoop.
Every one in Harry's team cheered, one of them gave him a high five. He turned to Tonks and smirked at her. She just smiled sweetly and said "I'll get you for that." She turned around to catch the ball that was passed to her.
Harry chuckled. "I'm sure you will." And with that, he quickly spanked Tonks on the butt making her jump and drop the ball.
"Ooooh, I'll get you for that Harry!" She whined, andpouted as Harry ran out of her reach over to his cheering team mates.
After another couple of minutes Tonks managed to get the ball. Harry stood under the goal hoop when she got there, she thought she might try dunking. She leapt into the air, but so did Harry. He knocked the ball out of her hands, this however resulted in Tonks crashing into him. They both fell to the ground, Tonks on top of Harry, their faces only inches apart.
There was and akward silence.
'What's this I'm feeling?' Tonks thought to herself. She just wanted to lean down and kiss him right then and there. 'Is it some kind of delayed effect from that passion orb?'
'No, it wouldn't last this long.' That annoying voice in the back of her head said.
'Then what is it?' Tonks thought.
'…….lust.' It answered. 'Just plain lust.'
Harry was feeling weird too, being this close to Tonks made him slightly dizzy.
'Don't kiss her Harry! Don't!' He thought to himself.
'But you know you want to…' A voice in his head said. 'And from the look of it, so does she.'
'Do it Tonks, kiss him.' The voice in Tonks head said.
'Kiss her Harry, you can do it."
'Just leandown and brush your lips against his.'
'Do it.'
They slowly leaned in on eachother, but snapped out of itwhen they heardchuckling voices.
"Hey, are you guys just gonna lie there, or are ya gonna kiss eachother?" One of the guys asked.
"Yeah!" Said another. "We're getting a little freaked out from the delay here!"
Harry and Tonks quickly stood up and in unison they said "Very funny."
That night they went to a party, it was a wizard rave with the entrance located in some back alley. Neither of them brought up what had almost happened earlier that day; they were both to scared to admit what they had almost done. Instead, they just had fun, dancing and moving their bodies to the music. They were both really happy, being able to spend time like this with eachother, but Harry dreaded the day after this; it was the day when Tonks was supposed to take him to Hogwarts.
They got up early next day, considering the fact that they were going to be driving for the entire day. They left Liverpool around noon.
Even though they started pretty early, they still managed to get delayed. Tonks was now driving so fast that Harry thought they might take off into the air.
"Tonks…" He said as Tonks made a manoeuvre past a car in front of them that the driver of the knight bus would be proud of. "I think you should slow down."
"But we might get late!" Tonks said without taking her eyes off the road."
"I know, but we'll be even more delayed if-" There was a sound of sirens coming up from behind them. –"that happens." Harry sighed, and Tonks swore as apolice car came up next to them..
They pulled over by the side of the road and two policemen stepped out of their car. One of them walked over to Tonks car and looked into the window as Tonks lowered it down.
The police looked from Tonks to Harry before saying "Step out of the car please."
Tonks sighed as she and Harry stepped out of the car, Harry walked around it and stood next to Tonks.
After making them both do an alcohol test the man said to Tonks "Do you have a drivers licence, miss?"
Harry sighed as he turned around and leaned against the car as Tonks eyes grew wide. 'We're screwed.' He thought, but then he saw a slight flash of light inside the car and a wallet with a fake license fell from mid-air in the car. He stared at it wide eyed, but then he smiled and whispered very quietly "Thanks Fawkes."
"Uhm…well I uh…" Tonks stuttered as she tried to make some excuse up.
"Here it is Tonks." Harry said as he reached inside of the car and pulled out the wallet and handed it over to the policeman.
"Twenty two years old, Nymphadora Tonks…" He mumbled and frowned, he looked the license over as if to check if it was fake; when he couldn't find anything wrong with it he handed it over to Tonks. "You looked very young for your age." He said and smiled slightly as he scribbled something down on a traffic bill.
"Have a nice day, and don't drive so fast in the future." He said ad he and the other policeman stepped back into their car and drove off.
Tonks whirled around and stared at Harry. "Where'd you get the license?"
Harry Grinned. "Fawkes." He said simply.
Tonks smacked her forehead. "Of course!"
Suddenly another voice spoke up. "Well, well, stuck in traffic are ya?"
Tonks and Harry whirled around; Electra was sitting on the roof of the car, smirking at them.
"Electra?" Tonks exclaimed. "What in the world are you doing here?"
"Didn't you know that dad has a tracking spell on the car?" Electra asked in a sweet voice. Oh, of course you didn't, if you did then you wouldn't have taken it."
Tonks looked horror-struck. "So…dad knows where we are?"
"Uh-huh." Electra nodded.
Tonks put her hands over her mouth, eyes wide. "And…mum too?"
"Yup.!"
"Oh no!" Tonks said in a shaky voice as she began pacing. "This isn't good!"
"Don't worry Tonks," Harry said. "If they know where we arenow, then they must have known from the begin, right?"
Tonks stopped pacing. "You're right." She let out a long breath. "Then they won't come bouncing at me yet."
"Oh well," Electra said. "Mum said that if you cause any trouble with the care, she would have your neck." She looked as if she enjoyed making Tonks nervous.
"Do they know what happened just now?" Tonks asked.
"Nope," Electra said, but when she saw Tonks relax she added "Not yet."
"Electra!" Tonks yelled. "If you tell them about this then I'll-"
"You'll do what?" Electra asked in a daring voice.
Tonks opened her mouth, and then closed it again, struggling with words.
Electra chuckled. "I won't tell them," She said, but as Tonks again looked more relaxed she added "On one condition."
Tonks looked at Electra, her eye wide again, looking as if she knew exactly what Electra wanted.
"What condition?" Harry asked as Tonks apparently wasn't going to ask.
Electra smiled mischievously at him. "You are going to have to cuddle me the rest of the ride to Hogwarts."
Harry glanced at Tonks who was looking at him with pleading eyes. He sighed. "Alright, let's go."
The rest of the ride was rather uneventful; they didn't talk very much, except for Electra who moaned with pleasure as Harry either stroked her belly or scratched her behind the ear.
When the evening came they parked the car outside the gates of Hogwarts. Harry and Tonks (Electra had fallen asleep in the car after Harry's treatment) walked across the yard and entered the castle.
"I guess we're early," Harry said as they walked through the double doors and into the entrance hall. "No one's here yet."
"I guess you're right." Tonks said and looked at the doors to the great hall that were slightly opened, none of the teachers could probably see them though.
"Look, Tonks," Harry said as he turned to face her. "Thanks for everything, this has been the best week of my life."
Tonks looked up at him and smiled. "Really?" She asked.
Harry smiled too. "Yeah." Suddenly his smile faded. "So…I guess this is it." He said sadly.
"Maybe…" Tonks said and tried extremely hard not to smile, she knew something he didn't. "Maybe not."
Harry stared at her quizzically, but he shook it off as he stepped closer to her and took off his sunglasses. "Tonks I…" He said. "I just wanted to say…" He paused.
"Yes?" Tonks asked, smiling slightly.
Harry looked down shaking his head slowly. "Never mind…it's nothing…" He looked back up at her, and again Tonks was mesmerized by his deep green eyes. She stared at histhem dreamily before Harry spoke up.
"I'll see you around." He put his sunglasses back on.
Tonks blinked. 'Ugh, to hell with dignity!' She thought as she quickly put her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Harry responded to the kiss immediately as he put his arms around her waist. Tonks let Harry's tongue slide into her mouth, twisting around with her own tongue. The kiss was like the one they shared in Fred and George's shop, only much, much better, since now they weren't under the influence of some passion orb. They broke away as they heard the sound of clapping; it seemed like their kisses always ended that way.
They both looked at the doors leading out to the school grounds; Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna Lovegood, and the rest of Hogwarts students were standing in the doorway, some people in the back who apparently couldn't see what was happening were murmuring and asking what was going on.
"Got yourself a boyfriend Tonks?" Both Ron and Ginny asked at the same time, smirking.
Tonks smiled and looked at Harry; he chuckled and took off his sunglasses again.
"Hi there Ron, Ginny." He said, grinning.
Everyone's mouths flew open,many of thestudents gasped and whispered to the people in the back who it was that was kissing an extremely attractive girl in the middle of the entrance hall.
"Harry!" Hermione gasped.
Harry shrugged. "That's me!"
"Indeed," Said a voice and everybody turned to the double doors leading into the great hall to see who had spoken; Dumbledore, wearing a bright smile. "It was a little difficult to see you from under the hat there Harry," He said with a twinkle in his eyes. "but then I noticed Tonks and understood it must be you." He waved his wand, making the doors to the great hall swing open entirely. "Miss Tonks, if you would please take a seat at the staff table, you can state your report later." He stopped. "And I am sure I will find your explanation about what happened just now very amusing."
Harry and Tonks blushed, butsmiled and said "Very funny."
A couple of minutes later in the great hall as everyone was enjoying the feast after the sorting and Dumbledore's usual opening speech in form of the words "dig in", Harry was finding himself enduring the interesting stares from a whole lot of female students, and quite a lot of envious stares from some of the males as well.
'Must be the hair.' Harry thought, he hadn't turned it back to normal yet.
Not to mention he had to endure the smiles that Ron, Hermione and Ginny had plastered on their faces as they looked at him expectedly.
Harry sighed and put his knife and fork down and looked at them. "What?" he asked.
"Spill." His three friends said at once.
Harry groaned. "There's nothing to spill!" He said. "It was just a goodbye kiss, that's all!"
"Some goodbye kiss!" Ginny said and grinned from ear to ear.
Harry sighed.
"You know," Ron said smiling. "Fred and George told us you and Tonks came by their shop, but they didn't say anything about you two being an item!"
Harry smiled inwardly; Fred and George actually had some decency to keep a secret.
"Buuut," Ron said and held up a finger. "They did tell us about how they demonstrated their latest Valentine's ware on you guys!"
Scratch the part about decency and secrets! Harry cursed under his breath.
"Heh, I have to say though," Ron continued. "I would never have thought you'd be able to score with a girl like her!"
"Oh, come on!" Harry said. "It's not like I'm gonna see her until Christmas!"
"Could it be the passion orb?" Hermione asked Ronthoughtfully as if she hadn't heard Harry. "The fact that he, 'scored' with her, that is?"
Harry's stomach clenched; could that be it? Tonks was just being like this because of the prank?
"Nah," Ron said and waved it off. "It only lasts until the smoke clears."
Harry felt a huge gratitude towards Ron for saying that.
"So," Ron said and turned back to face Harry with a huge grin. "Is she any good?"
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.
"What?" Ron asked. "I just asked-"
"That is not a decent question!" Hermione snapped.
"Oh come on!" Ron said and rolled his eyes.
"You know," Harry said, interrupting the argument he saw was coming. "Fred and George told me to throw one of these –he pulled out the pouch with the red spheres and showed them one- at you two whenever you two ended up bickering." He looked at them with a smile and an evil glint in his eyes.
Ron and Hermione's eyes grew wide and they fell silent immediately. Ginny giggled.
"So," Harry said and stuffed the pouch back into his pocket. "Any idea who the new Defence against the dark arts teacher is?"
"No," Ron said and looked up at the staff table.
"The only one who's up there except for the ordinary teachers is Tonks." Hermione said.
Ron's and Hermione's eyes suddenly grew wide again, and they looked at eachother with knowing grins.
"What?" Harry said and raised his eyebrows. Just then, Dumbledore stood up and silence fell through the hall.
"First of all," He said with a smile. "I would like to introduce our new Defence against the dark arts teacher, whom I think some of you have already met," His eyes stopped at Harry for a second before continuing. "Let me introduce you others to professor Nymphadora Tonks!"
There were great applauds from all of the students and teachers, although some of the female students were looking atTonks with pureenvy in their eyes, probably because of the situation they had seen her in before.
Harry stared wide-eyed at Tonks who grinned at him.
Ginny smirked at his expression and asked "What did you say about not being able to see her before Christmas?"
Harry chuckled and looked up at Tonks again, and she looked back at him.
'Heh, I can't wait to put him in "detention"!' Tonks thought with a mischievous grin.
Harry chuckled to himself. 'This is gonna be some year…'
Finished! Please don't sue or anything if I wasn't that thourough on the basket rules!
Sooo, what did ya think of this fic eh?
As I said, I was planning on writing a sequel, in which Tonks put Harry in "detention" (please note the huge emphasizement) I must warn some of you; I might make it a lemon! FEAR ME!
...so...uh...what do you think about that? The sequel, lemon thing I mean...
