"I didn't think it was possible..." George said as he observed the brand new version of the marauder's map.
"I also got these for you." Harry pulled out two packs of his favorite chocolate, gift wrapped in decorative gold and brown paper. "It's thanks, for allowing me to copy the map."
"How could we deny the son of a marauder?" George grinned. He accepted the gifts and handed the other box to his twin.
"Blimey... how did you get these?" Fred asked. He looked at his twin and said, "George, this came from France!"
"I have my ways." Harry grinned. "When will you do another Hogsmeade run? I'd like to see the place."
"After the Ravenclaw-Gryffindor Match." George said. "We'd be sure to win there, their new seeker's a newbie, and Katie should be able to catch the snitch before her."
"Oliver has already asked us for supplies of firewhiskey and butterbeer." Fred said. "We could take you along, and we'll be grateful for another set of hands."
"How can you buy those from the storeowners?" Harry asked. "Why don't they report you to the professors for being out of bounds?"
"We reached an agreement with the lovely Madam Rosmerta." Fred replied. "We use our considerable influence in school to spread the word about her tavern."
"And besides, business is low for her is it's not a Hogsmeade weekend... and Firewhiskey fetches a high price." George said.
"And she has a nice rack." Fred reminded his twin.
"That too." George agreed. He looked at their young cohort and smirked. "But young Harry here doesn't need to imagine now does he... he gets to see the real deal, from what I've heard."
"Huh?" Harry asked.
"Naked women..." George said. "You've seen one up close right Harry?"
"Oh..." Harry blushed at the memory of his bath with Tonks. "Yeah..."
"I'm so jealous..." Fred said. "So, you're coming with us for a Hogsmeade run?"
"Yup." Harry said eagerly.
"Meet us here at nine." George said. "I'm sure you'll have no problems with that cloak of yours."
"It is helpful" Harry agreed.
Hermione continued to express her views on the old tradition to anyone who cared to listen, and treated Harry as a victim. She continued giving Harry sad looks whenever they hang out together and Padma finally figured out why Hermione reacted so badly at the news.
"You have a crush on him." Padma said one afternoon while they studied under the tree.
"What?" Hermione squeaked.
"Admit it Hermione... I can see the looks you give him." Padma said.
"I do not!" Hermione said quickly. Her cheeks blushed and she hid her face in her book. "I don't have a crush on him!""Crush on whom?"
"EEEK!" Hermione and Padma shrieked when they heard Harry's voice. The two girls frantically looked around looking for their friend.
"Up here."
Padma and Hermione looked up and found Harry lying on a tree branch, his hands propped up behind his head to act as a pillow.
"Harry! How long have you been there?" Hermione squeaked.
"Since Lunch." Harry said. "I fell asleep and woke up when I heard your voices."
"How much did you hear?" Padma demanded.
"Just the end." Harry sat up and gracefully leapt down from the branch. "Did I hear it right? Hermione has a crush?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Harry looked at the two girls and looked confused at their reply. "Uhuh."
Hermione frantically tried to tame her hair as Harry sat down beside her. She blushed as Padma gave her a knowing look and continued reading. The trio spent an entire hour lazing around watching the students playing with the snow.
Harry immediately tensed when he felt Tonks feeling distressed and he stood, removing dirt and snow from his pants.
"Harry?" Hermione asked.
"I just remembered that I have a meeting with Michael." Harry said quickly. "See you at dinner."
Harry ran inside the castle, and when he found an unused classroom, he made sure that no one was looking and vanished from the spot.
"What is that boy up to?" Padma murmured.
"Tonks! Get back here!" Moody roared. He had taken his apprentice for a routine patrol along the seedier parts of Knockturn Alley. He ducked as another volley of bone shattering curses bombarded his position.
Moody scowled. He thought that it would be a good idea to patrol with his apprentice, and toughen her up by rounding up the usual offenders. He expected at the most a good duel or two, but even his paranoid mind didn't expect that they would stumble upon a dark artifacts and illegal potions smuggling ring.
Alastor Moody's vaunted skills in defensive and offensive magic proved true, as he was able to protect himself and his apprentice from any serious harm. He did not expect however that additional reinforcements from these smugglers would arrive, and this new force separated him from his apprentice.
Alastor spotted the young trainee auror duck and dive as her cover was shattered from a powerful Reducto curse. The young woman ran towards a side alley to evade her opponents and Alastor frowned with worry when he realized the danger the young woman is in. She should be beside him, not alone in the dark narrow alleys being chased by dark wizards. They were caught bu surprise and Tonks and Moody found themselves trapped with anti apparation wards to prevent their escape.
A series of curses caught his attention and the veteran auror focused on his enemies. He saw a few of his opponents had dug in under an old store and he noticed that large sign on top of their position.
"Constant Vigilance!"
An overpowered cutting curse later, Moody smiled when he heard the sound of horrified screams and crushed bodies. He looked at the side alley where his apprentice had ran into and hoped that she was more than capable to handle her opponents.
"Come here pretty missy."
"We won't hurt you... I promise."
Tonks remained quiet as she pressed her body to the brick wall, hoping her pursuers would miss her among the shadows. A series of blasting curses destroyed the stacks of boxes she was hiding in and returned fire. She counted three opponents. If only she could reach the apparition point at the main alley, but these three wizards were determined to stop her.
