Harry x Tonks

The Rise of the Dragon Lords

Chapter 1: The New Friend.

30 July 1996 A.D., 7:00AM

"BOY!" Uncle Vernon yelled up the stairs of number 4 Privet Drive when he opened the door to a pink haired girl dressed in muggle clothing who showed up at the front door that fine July morning.

Harry came down stairs in his standard clothing, his hair still sticking up everywhere and his glasses sitting crooked on his nose. "Yes Uncle Vernon?"

"Wat'cher'doin' Harry?" the pink haired girl said seeing Harry on the stairs still half a sleep. "Thought I'd spend my shift here with you instead of in the bushes outside."

Harry smiled at Tonks one of his new friends or more to the point his only friend this summer with Hermione and Ron off somewhere in the world and everyone else not talking to him to give him 'time' to get over Sirius's death. "Yeah sure. Come on up to my room so the Dursleys won't bother you."

Tonks had broken the Orders rules for most of the summer and had spent time with Harry getting to know him better and taking him out every now and then to get him away from his Uncle. This served to make Harry like her more and more with each time she took him out to dinner.

"A little early for that isn't it Harry?" Tonks said with a smile.

Harry blushed, "Not like that and besides I can't use magic and I was wondering if you can do something to my room for me?"

"Sure, I don't see why not." Tonks said following Harry up to his small room. "What do you need done?" She said after entering the smallest room of number 4.

"Well, could you make the room a little larger and some more furniture would be nice. If you can that is." Harry said sitting on his bed watching the woman across from him.

Tonks looked around the room taking in the fact that Harry had just enough room for his trunk and bed and a small desk and nothing else. His clothes were all over the place and his books were hidden under them. "I can do that, lover boy, and if you like I can make a whole house in this one room."

"Thanks. If you can Tonks then do it while I get breakfast. Be back in a minute if that is ok?" Harry said from the door.

"Bring me back a drink if you don't mind and then we well get started on this room." She said back pulling out her wand and starting to make the room larger as Harry walked out the door.

Harry came back a little while later with a glass of water for Tonks. Entering his room the echo from the large space that greeted him was a nice surprise. Tonks was standing in the middle of the 20'x 20' space with Harry's old bed and desk next to her.

"Hey, Lover boy. So what do you think?" Tonks said after taking the glass of water from Harry and drinking half of it.

"I like and now to fill it if you would. I will leave that to you if you like, just have it in my colours. Black, silver and blue if that is ok? I have to go clean the basement for my Aunt today." Harry said after looking at the space he had now and then at Tonks.

Tonks smiled at him at the free range she had over his room. "Ok, Harry. I'll try to stay on those colours you gave me but why are you cleaning the basement?"

"I have a deal with my relatives. I can do what ever I want but I must do one chore a week on a list and today is my one chore, so have fun." Harry said leaving the room and heading down to the basement. Tonks nodded and started to transfigure some chairs from old paper lying on the floor.

Harry had been cleaning the basement for an hour when he found a box with his mother's name on it. "What is this?" he said pulling it out from under the shelf.

Opening it he looked inside to see books and a letter on top of it. All addressed to him. Looking around Harry carried the box upstairs and to his room with out the Dursley's spotting him.

When Harry walked through the door to his room he found a large lounge room with four black leather chairs with silver trim around a fireplace and a low coffee table in front of the chairs. To the back of the room were two doors that had not been in the room before. Looking at the walls he saw that they have been painted in a dark blue with a light blue trim. On the left of the fireplace was a painting of Lily, which by the looks of it was painted when she was a few months pregnant with Harry. On the right hand side of the fire was one of James. In the paintings both wore robes of deep green, on Lily's with a lighting blue trim and James with a darker green trim.

To Harry's surprise over the fireplace was a painting of a symbol he had been working on because of a dream he had at the start of the summer. The painting had a silver dragon on a creamy white background it's wings half spread out and head held high and over its head was a twin-bladed sword. Both blades of the sword bent so they were pointed down a little.

"How did she find that?" Harry said out loud.

"You left it on your desk and when I saw it I did that for you. Do you like it?" Tonks said, coming from one of the doors that was new in the wall.

"Thank you and yes, I like it. Even the colour of the dragon is right... anyway how have you been going in here?" Harry said after looking at the dragon one last time.

"Well, I though that you might like some more privacy so your bed is now through here and you also have a study though the other door." she said pointing to the door she had come out of and then to the one on the far left.

"Thank you again for all this. So let's see what I am sleeping in now." Harry said walking by her and into the room.

It was painted in the same blue as the lounge room and the bed was a large queen size thing with black sheets and silver trim like most of the furniture. Next to the bed was a lighter blue table with a large lamp on it. The window looked like it belonged in Hogwarts more than in Privet Drive and in the left hand corner was Hedwig's cage and on the other wall was a chest of draws and a closet for his clothes.

"Tonks this is great! Thank you and now how did you go in this study?"

Tonks blushed at the compliment and led the way to the other door in the room. Opening the door showed a room with a dark silver paint job that could be seen under all the book shelves on the wall but only half of them had books on them, the other half had scrolls tied with ribbons of all colours. To the middle of the room was a dark wood desk with a large black leather chair behind it and in front of the desk were two leather chairs like the ones in the living room. The floor for this room was hardwood unlike the other where it was a dark blue almost black carpet.

"Where did all these books come from?" Harry asked looking over some of the titles.

"I when back to H.Q for a little bit to get some thing for the room and while I was there Dumbledore gave me them after hearing I was doing this for you." Tonks said from the door watching Harry as he looked around the room.

"Most of them if not all of them are about light magic I'm willing to bet." Harry said to Tonks when he got back to her after looking around the room.

"Why does that bother you Harry?" Tonks asked placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Because I think there is a third form of magic." Harry said with a questioning look on his face.

"What sort of magic Harry?" Tonks asked turning him around to look her in the eye and resting both hands on his shoulder.

"Grey magic." Harry said looking into Tonks deep blue eyes.
