Harry and Tonks' Outing

"It is truly the greatest of pleasures to simply be in your presence my lord!" Bellatrix said in the happiest of voices as she and the other death eaters knelt down in front of Voldemort who sat upon his throne like a king above his followers. "I never lost faith!" She added quickly. "I was always loyal."

"Ah yes," Voldemort nodded as he spoke in an appreciative voice. "I know full well how loyal you have all been, you all have suffered through Azkaban for me. Lord Voldemort appreciates loyalty, I will have Severus brew you all potions, soon you will all be back up to health."

"My lord, you are so gracious." Rodolphus Lestange said in a devoted voice.

"That I am." Voldemort agreed without hesitation. He was about to respond but was cut off by the sound of hissing, Voldemort looked down at Nagini who gestured in the direction of the doors which opened a few seconds later as Apophis came into the room. Apophis walked straight up to Voldemort, ignoring the other death eaters. Apophis stopped alongside Voldemort's throne and whispered into his ear in parsletounge. "Hmm, that is workable." Voldemort said to Apophis.

"My lord," Bellatrix said. "do forgive me but who is he?" She said as calmly as she was able to make herself sound. She did not know who this person was but she could not believe how he was allowed to simply walk up to her lord and speak to him like an equal.

"This, my dear Bellatrix, is Apophis." Voldemort said as he gestured to Apophis. "He is my heir." Voldemort asked.

"What?!" Bellatrix blurted out in shock as the other newly free death eaters also looked shocked.

"Barty, please explain to them." Voldemort said to Barty who instantly realised that it was more of an order than a request.

"Our lord needed Potter's blood for his resurrection," Barty explained to the newly freed death eaters. "there was some blood remaining and our lord, in a feat of very impressive magic, combined Potter's blood with his own to create him." Barty gestured to Apophis who stood with his arms crossed. "He is a magical creation, created by our lord."

"But my lord...why Potter's blood?" Rabastan Lestrange could not help but ask.

"Not that I have to answer to you," Voldemort glared at Rabastan who quickly ducked his head down and muttered out an apology, Voldemort let out a small sigh before he continued speaking. "I will satisfy your curiosity this once but do not dare demand answers from me again." Voldemort said in a warning tone, Rabastan quickly nodded and once again apologised. "My resurrection ritual required the blood of an enemy, Potter despite being a halfblood is a strong wizard, much as I am loath to admit. I had his blood already in my possession and did not see the point in waiting until I was able to gain somebody else's. Now no more questions, Lucius, give me your reports."

"The plan has worked perfectly my lord," Lucius Malfoy replied. "the fool Fudge was eating out of my hand and was easily convinced that your heir was sent by Dumbledore, he had sent aurors to arrest the headmaster. However I am told that Dumbledore was able to escape."

"Dumbledore is on the run?" Apophis asked.

"Why do you ask?" Voldemort replied.

"I want a fight." Apophis answered.

"You will fight Dumbledore?" Voldemort asked in an amused voice. "While I have no doubt about how entertaining that would be, I am afraid not." Apophis looked like he was about to protest. "You may have Potter, but you will not be fighting Dumbledore." He said in a firm voice.

"My lord," Rodolphus asked in a quiet voice. "if I may ask, how powerful is your heir?" He asked, wondering what the actual chances of success would have been if Voldemort's heir had fought Dumbledore.

"Avada Kedavra." Voldemort said in a soft voice as he shot a killing curse at Apophis, much to the surprise and shock of the others, surprise and shock that increased immensely when Apophis simply shrugged it off. "Fairly so." Voldemort smirked in response to Rodolphus's question. The death eaters were all looking at Apophis with absolutely pure disbelief along with a combination of fear and awe. "you will all treat him with the respect that he deserves. You will obey his orders as if they were mine, is that understood?" He said in a voice that said there had better not be anyone who did not understand.

"Yes my lord." The death eaters said as they nodded.

"Wotcher Harry!" Tonks smiled as she greeted Harry when he came down to Hogsmeade.

"And hello to you." Harry paused and let out an appreciative whistle. "Looking good by the way." He said as he kissed her on the lips and offered an arm.

"Why thank you." Tonks smiled and took the offered arm before the two began walking together. "So how are you?" She asked.

"I am doing fine I suppose." Harry replied. "What about you?"

"About as well as I can be." Tonks shrugged.

"That's good, how is the order doing? I would think that it is not helpful having the leader of the organisation be on the run."

"Ha," Tonks snorted. "it is not but if we are being honest then the order has not really done much so far beyond information gathering and guarding whatever it is that Dumbledore had assigned us to guard." Tonks said as she rolled her eyes.

"Not what you were expecting?"

"I was expecting a bit more action if I am being honest, " Tonks admitted. "but you are right in that it didn't help. Dumbledore has sent messages to all of the order and until he gets pardoned or whatever he won't be attending meetings."

"Shame." Harry said as the two arrived at the apparition point, they apparated away and arrived near a cinema. Harry figured as long as he came back before curfew he would be fine so he had no real problem with leaving the grounds with Tonks.

A short while later the two were sat in a cinema, ready to watch a horror film. They were hoping that this would be more scary than the last one they watched, well at least Harry hoped so. To be fair after his experiences in Hogwarts he did not really find it easy to be scared by movies, especially movies that involved magical creatures as Harry could not help but think about how wrong the movies were. They got some things right like werewolves change on the night of the full moon but they got other things wrong like werewolves being incredibly muscular.

A short while into the movie Harry was starting to get bored, he was about to whisper to Tonks and ask if she was also bored when he felt her place her head on his chest and slide down just as her hands slid up his leg and to his belt buckle. Harry couldn't help the wide eyes and massive smile on his face, as of the moment he was just glad that they were sat at the back and people were focused on the movie. He did quickly cast a few charms around them just in case.
