Harry Potter & the Power of the Eclipse

"Like this is speech." Like this is written words. Like this is thoughts. Like this is telepathic. Like this is different language.

Chapter 18

(Last time.)

"Oh I would love to see you take on an alpha." Shadow said with a growl right back, but his was more fun and games as to her annoyance.

"Wanna bet?" She tackled him with another growl, this time with play added in.

She sprung up off of him and landed on her feet letting out another playful growl.

Shadow pulled himself out of the snow.

"Oh so that's the way you want to play? Fine." He growled and launched at her with startling speed. Soon Ginny found herself on her back with her forearms pinned parallel to her head and Shadow on top of her.

"Ok you win. Can you get off now?" She asked with a growl.

"No." Was all he said before he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. After a second she returned the favor.

It was five minutes later before they got up. Ginny undid her ponytail and shook the snow from her hair.

She shivered a little and suddenly found Shadow's coat on her.

"Thanks. But I am a little mad at you."

"Why?"

"You knew about Lara and never told me."

"Well I didn't know her human name so what was the point if I only met her once a month?"

"She takes as much interest in your wolf form as I do you." She finished with a predatory smile. Shadow started looking a little uneasy but still happy and calm. She tackled him again, this time right into a kiss. He fell back as his startled gasp was muffled and soon led into a satisfied growl deep in his throat.

-------------------------------------------------

When they finally entered the great hall again they found Tonks and Remus at their table. They walked over and Tonks noticed Ginny's hair was down and she had on Shadow's jacket.

"Snow is cold to lay in you know Gin." She said figuring out what had happened, or at least that they had kissed and fallen into the snow with Ginny on bottom to get snow in her hair.

"I know and a halter top isn't something you should do it in either." She confirmed Tonks's thoughts.

"What were you doing laying in the snow?" Remus asked. Tonks leaned over and whispered something in his ear and then said something else, which made his blush from the first thing she said deepen, before she touching the area below his belt. He blushed fifty shades of red in a second and yipped when she did that last bit. He grabbed her hands and put them on her lap, blushing madly still, a little in shock.

"Tonks, could you keep your thirst for Remus and his body to a bedroom or something and not a hall full of other people?" Shadow asked. Tonks pouted while blushing just a little at being caught.

"So are you two official now?" Tonks asked, changing the subject.

The new couple nodded together, in an odd unison. Tonks giggled a little at this before turning to Remus.

"What about us Mooney? Can't we take the next step yet?" She asked implyingly. Remus blushed and mumbled something about wouldn't be safe for you.

"I don't care. If it helps I'll make you bite me." She said, getting up and sitting on his lap. "Come on, one bite and you don't have to worry about me."

Remus started trying to find what to say to that. Shadow and the others looked on in amusement, having never seen the usually calm and collected man seem so flustered and speechless. Tonks just continued to sit there on his lap with her arms around his neck.

"Uh, uh, I need some air." He said getting up and putting Tonks in his chair in one swift fluid motion. Before anyone could stop him he was out the doors to who knew where.

"I don't know if I should be laughing or pouting at how he reacted." Tonks said while staring at where 'her' werewolf had just left.

"How about 'C', giving chase." Shadow suggested.

"Or 'D', wait till he doesn't suspect anything and pounce." Ginny said.

"I think I'll take Gin's idea." Tonks said.

"You can't be serious." Hermione said.

"Of course not, Sirius was my cousin." Tonks replied without batting an eye. Hermione couldn't help but sigh in defeat and roll her eyes.

-------------------------------------------------

Remus sat down on a bench, flustered. He was getting a tone of mixed signals and none of them were from Tonks. All the signals he got from her summed up to 'I love you Remus'. Now the signals his mind, body and heart where sending his consciousness consisted of 'She's not safe, I could hurt her', 'She's so hot' And 'Flesh, delicate flesh', and 'I love Tonks'. So what he figured, his mind thought he would hurt her, his heart loved her, and his body either wanted to have her or kill her. He guessed the kill her part was the wolf.

But then he remembered what Shadow said about werewolves.

I wonder if it's true that he is only lonely.

Every time he thought of that, memories of his days with the Marauders came forward. The wolf had always been placid when he was with them, though he tried to eat Wormtail at first. But that had something to do with him being a small edible animal. During that time though he had felt better. It still hurt because he really didn't like to change.

Maybe I should accept the wolf fully?

But before he could think further, he felt the summoning of the Order. Soon he was rushing back to the castle where he met up with Tonks, McGonagall, and Dumbledore heading towards the headmasters office.

"What is it sir?"

"Death Eaters are attacking Diagon Alley. The others have been summoned as well." The old man replied. As they finally got to his office he threw in some floo powder and was off. They all soon followed him.

When they exited the store they arrived in, the sight that greeted them was chaos. There were curses flying everywhere, buildings and shops were afire, corpses strewn all over, and people running around and screaming for their lives.

They started to fight back as the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, minus their spies and the ones that were still students, showed up.

After thirty minutes of fighting Remus and Tonks found themselves surrounded. One of the death eaters raised his wand and pointed it at Remus. He muttered something and a jet of silver light shot towards the werewolf. Because his back was to Tonks' he couldn't dodge as it would mean Tonks getting hit in the back. When the curse struck him he instantly knew what it was meant to do.

Make him turn into his wolf form. He struggled against it, knowing that they would make him turn on Tonks. With a yell of pain he fell to the ground trying to keep from changing. Tonks noticed this and put a stronger shield around herself before she went to his side. He continued to fight the change desperately.

"Remus, are you ok? What's wrong?" Tonks asked, trying to find out what was wrong with him. She was so worried about him that she didn't notice a death eater shout crucio.

Remus watched as she was hit by the curse and fell over screaming in pain.

No… Tonks! His mind was becoming fuzzy. He couldn't think straight anymore through the pain.

-ow d-re -hey d- t-at -o -y -ate. Came a second voice in his mind, but he did not take notice of it.

Hav- to hel-… Tonks. He struggled to stop the change and help her.

Mat- in dan...ger. Mu-t -elp -er. The voice growled once more.

TONKS! Both voices said in unison and Remus finally gave up to the change. But instead of turning into his usual wolf form, he became darker skinned, his bones cracked and readjusted as did his organs. His hands became clawed and his feet changed to more canine like ones. When he finally finished changing he looked around. (A/N: He looks like the lycans off the movie Underworld.)

His eyes landed on Tonks who was still suffering. This brought his eyes up to the one who had cast the spell on her. With a roaring howl he leapt at the shocked death eater. Within a few seconds the robed figure was nothing but dismembered limbs strewn all over. He turned to the others and roared before attacking again.

Tonks finally regained herself after the crutacius was lifted. She looked up and the first thing she saw was some strange kind of werewolf mutilating the death eaters around her. With in fifteen minutes the fifty death eaters were reduced to shredded corpses. The werewolf spat out some blood before turning to her(Don't ask me how he spat out the blood, he just did). She backed away, thinking it would kill her next. The creature seemed shocked for a moment before looking at itself. Suddenly he started to change and with in a minute(that's how long it seemed they needed change in Underworld.) Remus was standing before her in shredded shorts that used to be pants.(Yeah I know their clothes rip off when they change but oh well.)

"Remus?" Tonks asked. Remus nodded. "What happened?"

"I don't know. I was hit by a curse that was forcing me to change into my werewolf form, complete with the wolf having control. I was fighting back but I also think I heard a second voice. I couldn't make it out but I think it was the wolf… Bloody hell! I think just found peace with my wolf side!"

"What? How? When?" Tonks asked, shocked. One because of what he said and two that he had actually cursed.

"Well from what I can tell we were both worried about you and then our minds synchronized or something and then I found myself as that different form of werewolf. Hang on a second me and Mooney want to try something." Suddenly there was the sounds of his bones snapping and other sounds of his change until the large wolfman creature stood before Tonks once more. It was about this time that they remembered the fight still happening.

Mooney/Remus howled as he charged into the fray, followed by Tonks who went to tell the other order members that that was Remus and to not shoot him.

-------------------------------------------------

Kingsley wasn't having a good day. First he had to deal with the Minister breathing down his back, then he needed to do a ton of paperwork, and now this. He had just been knocked back by a reducto that had hit just in front of him, as he had jumped back. Now the death eater that did it was standing over him, wand raised.

"Any last words auror?" Came the snide remark. Before either could say anything else though, a monstrous werewolf tackled the evil wizard and snapped his neck. Tonks showed up and helped Kingsley up.

"What the hell is that?" He asked Tonks as the werewolf took out two more death eaters by smashing their brains together, through their skulls.

"That's Remus, or Mooney, I don't know what to call him now." Tonks said as she shot a curse at a death eater trying to run away.

"How?"

"Me and Remus got surrounded and then he got hit with this silver curse. He started changing and I let my guard down. I got hit by a crutacius and the next thing I know after that is pain. When it finally lifted I found him ripping them all to pieces and then he started towards me. I thought he was going to do something like that," She pointed at Remus/Mooney who was currently ripping open a death eater's throat, causing Kingsley to wince a little. "When he saw that he changed back, told me he thought that he and Mooney had come to peace. After that he changed back, on his own, and this is what he's been doing since, while I tell people not to shoot him. And get this, he actually cursed when he realized what had happened." Tonks said with a laugh.

Kingsley shook his head. Only Tonks would take really notice of something like that at a time like this.

With Remus/Mooney helping them now, they quickly defeated all of the death eaters, though a few did manage to get away on foot, as an anti apparation barrier had been put up during the fight.

Remus changed back and Tonks gave him a cloak that she had just gotten from a store near by, leaving the correct amount at the register, which he put on, thanking her. After all it was still winter. After that they headed back to Hogwarts, where the dance had already ended and Shadow had once again left towards the forest as he had ever since school started.

Declaimer: Don't own HP.

A/N: Hey people, sorry for not updating for a while, but well, sadly to say, I got an F in one of my classes so I wont be updating for a while after this. I know, it sucks a lot. Well when I do get back on, hopefully the two people that are starting betaing for me while have some stories done and I'll start reposting them. Sucks on that too, but it will at least get the grammar people off my back. I also know a few people asked about the order so here is some Order of the Phoenix action for you guys. Sucky, most likely. Remus becoming a lycan, I think it's happened before but might still be cheesy.
