~~Dartmoor, England~~ (August 18th, 1994)
Harry, who was lying on the floor with a book in his hands, sat up and closed the book when he sensed Tonks approaching his room. It has been a day since the duel and since then he had been constantly analyzing the movements and techniques Tonks used inside his head. Even though his Mind Palace was still a work in progress, his Mind Palace was already much better than any other orthodox Mind Palaces.
Thanks to his beyond-genius-level intellect, he was able to run battle simulations right inside his mind. Since yesterday he had been constantly fighting against an avatar of Tonks and he didn't stop her from using lethal moves or Spells during the simulations… Even the Unforgivables were no exception while he decided not to use Mystic Arts as he wanted to see where he stood against a highly trained Witch without Mystic Arts. The first couple of times he fought her avatar, he got his ass handed to him, but since the fourth simulation, he had been maintaining a winning streak.
He knew that her avatar wasn't perfect as he didn't know what Tonks was truly capable of, but he was confident that he could defeat her in real life even though she probably had several tricks up her sleeves. Her fighting style was much more suited toward fighting multiple enemies at the same time and he was quite glad that he came up with the idea of the duel in the first place…
While he was sure that he could defeat Tonks, he wasn't sure how he was going to fare against her teacher as he never saw the man fight… Tonks finally arrived in front of the door, but before she could knock on the door, Harry decided to speak up.
"Is there something I can help you with, Tonks?" Harry asked, making Tonks jump back in fear as she adopted a karate stance, but instead of imposing, she was looking hilarious.
"How the fuck?!" Tonks blurted out from the other side of the door.
"I heard someone tripping and there is no one who is as clumsy as you" Harry explained in an amused tone as he flicked his Wand in the air to open the door.
'Emotional Damage!!!' Tonks howled inside her mind as she felt an invisible arrow pierce through her chest at his words. "You know, all of you are really ruthless… At this rate, I might die before I could even get married" Tonks whined as her lips trembled and she used her powers to make her eyes look bigger, which were pooling with unshed tears.
"Nah… You will be alright. Your mum said you have very thick skin" Harry retorted cheerfully, making Tonks growl in anger as she started to shoot stinging Hexes at Harry. He easily danced through the Spells with extreme ease, making Tonks blink in confusion.
"How did you do that?" Tonks asked in a bewildered tone.
"I am a duelist too, remember?" Harry asked while pointing at himself. "The first thing I learned is to dodge Spells and my small stature makes it easy for me to dodge Spells" Harry explained with a smile.
"I see…" Tonks mumbled with a thoughtful look on her face. "Oh, I am going out, wanna come? You can invite Jacky and Brittany too" Tonks finally revealed why she was here in the first place.
"Yeah, sure. Just wait a sec" Harry said as he flicked his Wand over his head, summoning his outer robes and gloves from the coat stand… The weather in England was bloody awful. "So, where are we going?" Harry asked as he smoothened his outer robes after putting them on.
"They said that there was going to be a fare. I wanted to check it out" Tonks answered as Harry finally came out of his room and closed the door behind him. "You go and get Jacky, I will grab Brittany" Harry said and Tonks started to walk away after giving him a nod. The tent was massive from the inside, so everyone had their own rooms except for Andi and Ted as they were already a couple…
<Line Break> (A couple of hours later)
"You sure you will be able to eat all of that?" Jacklyn asked, looking a bit worried for Tonks when she saw how much food Tonks was carrying.
"Mah… Mah… Nothing to worry about. This much is nothing to me" Tonks sniffed proudly. "I bought some for you guys too" Tonks said as she started to share the food with others too. Right now, they were returning from the fair, so there wasn't much crowd around them.
"Whoa! Do you see that brother… The boy who lived already has a Harem!" A voice exclaimed from the side.
"Yes, brother mine. I think he has the Magic!" Another voice agreed in a similar tone. The whole group stopped and turned toward the source of the voices, only to find two older redheads grinning at them. The duo were practically identical, so Harry easily guessed that they were twins.
"Who the fuck are you clowns?" Jacklyn asked threateningly, but the duo simply looked at each other and grinned comically.
"You see that brother dear, she has claws!" One of them cooed, making the other one laugh too. Jacklyn growled and whipped out her Wand to Curse the duo, only for them to change their tunes in an instant as they raised their hands in the air. It was the sign of universal surrender so Jacklyn slightly lowered her Wand.
"Wait! Wait! Don't Curse them!" Tonks exclaimed as the situation escalated out of the blue. It was a good thing that Jacklyn didn't Curse them or they would be in a heap of trouble… Well, it wouldn't matter much as Sirius would be able to get off any charges as long as it wasn't murder, but she was an Auror. Yeah, she was still a trainee, but that was beside the point. "By the way, don't you two know not to pass comments at strangers?" Tonks asked the pair of twins who simply shrugged.
"Freckles, and red hair… Let me guess, Weasleys!" Tonks bit out as she nodded her head. She didn't know much about the Weasleys except for what she had seen in Charlie, who was her year mate.
"Ohh… You know us?" One of the twins asked, looking impressed.
"Unfortunately" Tonks groaned bitterly as her experience with Charlie wasn't that good. The two of them were dating in their sixth year but after some time, she realized that Charlie couldn't get it up until she wasn't sporting scales on her body. It was bloody revolting… Thankfully, she discovered his nauseating fetishes before doing the deed. She was so mortified by the whole experience and she never tried to date anyone else from school after Charlie.
"Ohhh… You don't seem to be thrilled. By the way, I am Fred, and this is George, he is the uglier one" One of the twins introduced himself and the other cuffed him at the back of his head when Fred called him ugly.
"Hmm… It was nice meeting you Fred and George, but I am afraid that we must get going" Harry said politely as he tried to leave as he could sense someone watching him. The gaze he was feeling was not from a human, but from an insect, which was weird until he realized that the insect was probably an Animagus. The insect was watching him from one of the trees on their right.
"Fred, George, mum has been looking for you and she is quite mad" They heard another voice as another redhead showed up near them. This redhead was probably somewhere around Tonks' age and when their eyes met, the man's eyes grew wide in shock… "Oh shite!" The man cursed.
"Fuck me sideways!" At the same time, Tonks mumbled under her breath.
"You know him?" Harry asked, only for Tonks to unconsciously nod her head.
"Whoa, dad, it looks like Charlie found his ex" Two more redheads appeared near them and one of them was a bit more older than Charlie, probably his older brother or something, and the other one was significantly older than the others. The other redhead called him a father, so the man was probably the father of all these children.
Harry groaned internally as the redheads kept showing up and his annoyance increased several folds when his mom told him that the man's name was Arthur Weasley and the Weasleys worshiped the ground Albus Dumbledore walked on… |Motherfucker… How many of them are there?| Harry cursed inside his mind as he could already count four children.
|I think there are three more… One is in your age group and Molly was pregnant with another when I last saw her. I never understood why they decided to have so many children when they are dirt poor| Lily answered with a grimace, making Harry cringe internally.
|Maybe they never heard about Contraceptive Charms or they consider Contraceptive Charms to be the work of the Devil| Harry concluded.
"Can it, Bill!" Tonks snapped at the oldest brother when he called her Charlie's ex. "Don't think I won't Curse you" Tonks threatened menacingly while glaring at him. The man simply scratched his cheek as he chuckled sheepishly. The man was wearing a fanged earring and his red hair was tied in a ponytail. Harry had to admit, the earring looked cool.
|Don't you dare, Hadrian!| Lily warned Harry. |Though if you want, you can wear something more subtle| Lily compromised when she realized that her Hadrian wouldn't look bad with an earring.
"I don't know what they had done, but I apologize for them" Arthur Weasley stepped forward. "How about we calm down and have some tea? It's clear that my son knows you, but I don't know who you are" The man offered with a smile.
"Ohh, dad. That's great… We are sure that you don't recognize him, but he is Harry, Harry Potter!" One of the twins exclaimed cheerfully and everyone's eyes focused on Harry, making him groan again…
