Chapter 82 -

"Got to admit, I enjoyed that," Harry said lightly as he looked over at Tonks, who was lying down next to him.

The two were both in bed, covered by nothing more than the bed covers. Their clothes had been tossed randomly around the room, and somehow Harry's trousers had ended up on the door handle. What had started as a passionate kiss had quickly become something more, which was how the pair found themselves like this. Harry himself was covered in a bit of sweat, but he found himself admittedly surprised by Tonks. Her pink hair had grown out to below shoulder length and was now sprayed out like she had just been through a hurricane. She was covered in sweat, her skin was flushed red, and her eyes were wide open as she stared up at the ceiling, looking like she could barely breathe.

"Tonks?" Harry called in a slightly worried tone. "Are you okay?" She blinked hard and turned her head to look at him. She stared for a moment before speaking in a very high-pitched voice.

"Oooooowwwww!" The noise stretched out for several seconds. She blinked hard and finally spoke again in her normal voice. "Blimey, Harry, what the hell was all of that?" She gasped.

"Sorry," Harry frowned deeply. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Not exactly wrong but...damn!" She replied, taking a deep breath. "I...is this your first time with a woman?"

"That bad, was I?" He said with an awkward laugh.

"The opposite, you dolt," Tonks said, rolling her eyes as a bit more life came back into her body. "That was pretty good. Can't wait to see what happens when you get some more experience."

"Oh, I'm glad you liked it." Harry smiled at her. "It was great for me."

"It had better have been," She snorted amusedly before pausing as she noticed what appeared to be some black goo climbing onto the bed. It crawled over to Harry and sank into his skin through his arm.

"About time the pair of you finished," Venom's voice cut in. A black tentacle came out of the bed covers, and Venom's head popped out of the top of it. "I thought we might be here all week."

"Oh crud," Tonks groaned, making sure to cover her body with the duvet, even though she knew it was probably pointless now as Venom had likely seen everything. "I forgot you were here, sorry, Venom."

"Oh, don't worry about it." He said dismissively. "I separated from Harry and hid under the bed. Even though I really, really, wanted to experience his tasty emotions, I left you guys alone...because I'm a good friend." He added proudly. "Besides, I'm not a human, so it doesn't really bother me if you two do that. And if it did, I am more than capable of purging my memories of your nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Harry repeated, giving Venom a dry look.

"Anyway, next time I'll be happy to stay in Harry's body, if not, then the pair of you had better have a magical pouch or something ready for me to stay in." Venom continued, ignoring Harry.

"How long can you stay separated from Harry?" Tonks asked, genuinely curious.

"Not too long, or I'll die," Venom answered honestly. "But long enough to give you guys some privacy should you wish. Let's say roughly twenty to thirty hours."

"Oh," Tonks blinked. "Good to know,"

"It is," Venom agreed happily. "Now, since the two of you have mated, when will you be producing offspring?"

"Whoa!" Harry and Tonks said at the same time.

"We're not there yet, buddy," Harry shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm still on the potion and I'm staying on it for now," Tonks said firmly. "Mother lets me get away with a lot, but she'd kill me if I got pregnant before being married."

"Yeah, I'm not pissing off Mrs Tonks," Harry agreed.

"Like she'd be angry with you," Tonks muttered. "All the blame would go on me."

"Yes," Venom said thoughtfully. "We mustn't upset the creator."

"The creator?" Tonks repeated.

"That's how he refers to your mother," Harry sighed.

"She created a human, what else would you call her?" Venom replied defensively. "Anyway, what are you two going to do now?" Harry and Tonks frowned before looking at each other.

"Round four?" He offered.

"Sure," She said in agreement. The pair looked at Venom, who sighed.

"I'll get back under the bed."

"So," Sirius said with a very wide grin when Harry and Tonks came down the next morning for breakfast. "Sleep well, eh?" He took a sip of his tea.

"Where are my parents?" Tonks asked quickly.

"Don't worry," Sirius laughed, waving her off. "The two of them went out early this morning. They seemed to be under the impression that the two of you were both sleeping in your own rooms. But when I went to your room, Tonks, there was nobody there. And now the two of you are coming down together like an old married couple, want to tell me what happened?"

"Well, Sirius, if we have to tell you, then obviously you're too young to know." Quipped Tonks, who rolled her eyes as Harry went to the kitchen to make some food, meanwhile, she sat down at the table.

"Oh, come on," Sirius moaned. "Please, please tell little old Padfoot,"

"Slot P into slot V, Siri," Harry said over his shoulder as he began making breakfast.

"Repeatedly," Tonks confirmed with a nod. "I feel like I've been hit in the goalpost with a 'Firebolt'."

"Atta boy, Harry!" Sirius said proudly to Harry. Without looking, Harry gave Sirius a thumbs up and went back to making breakfast.

"If you tell her parents, then I'm going to neuter you with a rusty spoon," Harry said casually.

"Not before I kick your arse so hard you'll be begging for the dementors to take you back," Tonks added, sending Sirius a glare.

"Hey, I'm not going to ruin my godson's private time," Sirius said, the grin on his face looking like it was now permanent. "Though I must say, it does seem like a shame for him to stop with the first woman he sleeps with. Are you sure that you're not up for letting him experiment with someone else?" He said teasingly.

"She's in France at the moment," Tonks replied with a shrug.

"Yeah, well, I..." Sirius trailed off as her words finally registered in his head. "...In France? Are you...I...that veela girl?! You're going to share my godson with a Merlin be dammned veela?!" Sirius blurted out, looking fit to faint.

"More or less," Tonks nodded. Sirius's grin came back, this time it was so wide that Tonks began to wonder if Sirius was also a metamorphomagus.

"Behave, Sirius," Harry said warningly. "Or you're not getting any food from me."

"Exactly like his mother, that one is," Sirius mock-whispered to Tonks. "So, what are the pair of you lovebirds doing today?"

"I don't really have anything planned," Tonks admitted.

"I do," Harry said, bringing over her breakfast and placing it on the table. "You and I are going out," He declared.

"We are?" Tonks asked with a smile. "Where?"

"Where else do you take a girl after a good night together?"

(.)

"Horcrux hunting," Harry said in a chipper voice as he and Tonks stood outside of an old and rundown-looking shack.

The shack was small, dilapidated, and thick with filth. Whoever owned this obviously hadn't been wealthy people, nor were they sane, judging by the fact that they had nailed a dead snake to the front door of the shack. The whole thing looked hundreds of years old and as if it might collapse at any moment. The house was surrounded by trees that partly hid it. The thicket of woods surrounding the shack blocked all light and view from reaching it, leaving a dark and secluded view. The grass in front of the house looked sharp as knives and stood straight as if waiting for some unfortunate soul to come forward.

"You're so romantic," Tonks said dryly as she pulled her wand out. "So, what's the story here?"

"Voldy's mother was born in this house and she stayed in here and got constantly abused until she love potioned a muggle and ran away with him," Harry began explaining.

"Which was a bit rude, let's be honest," Venom's voice echoed from within Harry.

"Voldy came back here when he was older and murdered his relatives."

"As you do," Venom commented helpfully.

"And then he made a horcrux which he left here," Harry continued as if Venom hadn't interrupted him. Tonks grimaced. Harry had told her what a horcrux was, and needless to say, she was not happy to find out that the most feared dark lord of modern Britain had several. "It'll be a ring with a black stone. So, we just walk in and get the stone, done deal."

"Deal not done," Tonks said knowingly. "Voldy's sure to have several traps ready."

"He does, but thankfully, we have a cheat code," Harry smirked. "Stand down in the name of Lord Voldemort, Heir to Slytherin." He chanted in Parseltongue, and the house and the surrounding area appeared to vibrate for a moment before settling. "Parsletongue cuts off most of the tracks. There are only a few left. Cast a general counter spell on the house while I disable the grass." He said, pulling out his wand.

"Why? What does the grass do?" Tonks couldn't help but ask as she pointed her wand at the house.

"Depending on where you stand, you'd either be squeezed to death or treated like a fly in a venus flytrap," He revealed before pausing. "Presuming you don't step on his magical tripwires."

"Yeah, what's a dark lord without magical tripwires?" Tonks snorted.

"Be lucky I already deactivated the ward that'll turn you inside out," Harry replied before the two got to work. Roughly about half a minute later, the pair walked down and stopped in front of the shack, both glad that they weren't dealing with any magical explosions. "Alright, now, I'm going to have to do this next part myself." He told her apologetically.

"Is there like another really dangerous trap in the next room?" Tonks asked him.

"Pretty much," Harry nodded. "Voldemort enchanted the ring to have those near it try to pick it up, and then they'd get cursed when they put it on. Between my natural abilities and Venom, I'm the only one here who can do it."

"Right, gottcha," Tonks nodded reluctantly. "Just be careful, Harry, please."

"I'll do my best," He smiled at her before opening the door and walking inside. One tense minute later, he walked back out, holding a brown patch. "Ring's inside, safe and done." He smiled widely at her.

"Awesome," Tonks smiled back. "Still, I can't help but wonder, Harry, why'd you bring me with you? It seems like you had the whole thing under control."

"I wanted to show you, Tonks, show you that I meant every word. Show you I'm not like Dumbledore or the ministry. Together, we're going to work towards a new and better world. One where people like us can live free, as we are, not who everyone wishes us to be."

"I'd be happy to help you get there," Tonks said, leaning forward and kissing him. "You know, perhaps we should take the time to celebrate a victory against old no-nose." She said with a wicked smile.

"Oh?" Harry raised an eyebrow, staring at her questioningly. "And how do you plan that?" He asked.

"Round ten?" She asked coyly.

'Venom, my old pal,' Harry mentally said. He received a reply straight away.

'Yes, I'll get under the bed,'

Azkaban prison was supposed to be nigh impenetrable, that's what everyone had said. Though when they said that, they were obviously talking about regular wizards and naturally hadn't considered flying wraiths. Lord Voldemort flew to the prison in the dead of night, composed of nothing more than a murky brown smoke. His temporary body had finally withered away, he didn't have any more unicorn blood nearby and knew damn well that the old fool, Dumbledore, was probably keeping an eye on all known unicorn hotspots. Meaning that he needed to get a new body, and he needed to get it soon before his followers got the bright idea to desert him again.

He flew to the highest cells and flew through the bars of the nearest cell, he hovered over the prisoner below him. It was Pettigrew, mumbling in his sleep. The rat animagus had obviously lost weight; the bags under his eyes indicated that he hadn't been sleeping well, his hair was far thinner than before, and he looked a few steps away from death. If Voldemort remotely cared for the man at all then he might have felt sorry for him, as it was, he didn't really give a fuck so he flew out of the cell and searched the rest of the floor until he found the person he was looking for.

She used to be one of the most beautiful women that he had ever met, looking at her now, he couldn't help but find it difficult to compare the two. She had the same face as before, perfectly shaped with a sharp jaw, high cheekbones, and a perfectly sized nose. Only now, her face had shrunk in from a lack of food, making her look almost hollow. Her violet eyes were slightly duller than before, and her once-perfect hair now resembled an animal's nest as it twisted and curled down her back. Her perfect teeth were now sharp and yellow, her nails looked like they were designed to rip your eyes out, though given how skinny her body looked, you'd be forgiven for not believing that she had the strength to do so.

"Bellatrix," Voldemort spoke with much difficulty. It was hard to make sounds at all when you didn't even have a mouth or vocal cords. In an instant, she sprang to her feet and her hands gripped the bars of her cell with a strength that did not match her body.

"M...my lord!" She breathed deeply, her face slowly shifting into a teary and pleased smile. "I knew you would come," She whispered victoriously. "The fools thought you were gone! But I knew better!" She hissed proudly. "Your Bella remained loyal, Master!"

"I know, and I won't forget," Voldemort replied. "Lord Voldemort rewards loyalty, make no mistake, Bella. You will be rewarded."

"I live to serve!" She gave him a mad grin. "Are you here to free us, my lord?" She asked hopefully.

"Soon," He assured her. "But first, I need access to your vault."

A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the chapter. I was originally going to post for one of my other stories but it's been a busy week for me, I had to go to physiotherapy as well earlier for a problem with my shoulder, and I had this chapter nearly finished so I thought I'd post this.

Anyway there are three things I'd like to say:

1) According to my notes, there are roughly ten more chapters for this story, they might be a bit more if I make the chapters shorter (so let's say about ten to twenty chapters left). Once I've completed the story I'll organise it all into a collection for you all to view and I will put my other stories in a collection as well(providing I don't forget) so you all can view them easily.

2) I have not forgotten about Fleur, she will be coming back later.

3) If you remember, when I did the story vote, one of the options was an OC in the MCU with an Omnitrix watch. It's a story I'd really like to do in the future. I was thinking of making a collection of short stories of the MC acting with potential love interests for the story, for example one chapter would have him interacting with Gamora and the Guardians of the Galzaxy, in another chapter he could be interacting with Storm or Rogue or any of the other X Men. I'm also considering adding in potential love interests from other fandoms because I do have one idea for the story where the world gets exposed to other worlds, leaving the opportunity for others to come into the story like Princess Looma from Ben 10, Elastigirl from Incredibles, Starfire from DC and so on. Would you guys like to read that? Let me know.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a review.
