Chương 47: The Stag and the Lily
After a rather bumpy ride where Tonks kept landing repeatedly on Harry they had made it to Diagon Alley, Harry's first stop was Gringotts. He spent about half an hour inside before he came out to find Tonks, arms crossed and tapping her foot up and down in a bored manner. But that was not what Harry was focused on.
"Tonks." Harry said slowly. "you know your hair has turned white?"
"I know, I have been waiting for you for so long." Tonks said in a tired voice. "The year is still 2030 right?"
"Um...no."
"Just kidding." Tonks grinned before her hair turned back to pink.
"Wow, wandless." Harry said, noticing she did not use a wand.
"Oh I didn't tell you, I am a metamorphamaugus. That means I can change my appearance at will, watch." Tonks said before her face shifted into Sirius's face, then Harry's, then back to her own except this time her hair was brown. "See?" She said right before her hair turned back to pink. "hey, do you think I should keep my hair spiky or long?"
"Doesn't really matter to me, you look good either way." Harry said as he began walking with Tonks following after him.
"Thanks." Tonk's said as she walked alongside him. "I think that...whoops!" Tonks tripped but thankfully avoided falling on the floor thanks to Harry catching her. "Thanks." She said, her hair turning slightly red in embarrassment before it went back to her usual pink.
"By the way Tonks, what exactly is it that you do?" Harry asked. "I mean like what is your job?"
"Oh, I'm an auror." Tonks said proudly.
"Really?"
"Yeah, after Hogwarts I got to learn under Mad-Eye, I spent a year as a junior auror, I got to be a proper auror by the time you were in your third year."
"Your parents must be proud." Harry replied.
"Well...yeah, my dad is, so is mum but...she's not exactly happy about it."
"Let me guess, the danger factor?" Harry asked.
"How do you know?"
"Well I have been in my fair share of less than safe situations, plus my mother died to keep me safe and I know that I would do whatever I could to keep Sirius safe."
"Yeah well that's...Harry?"
"Yeah Tonks?"
"Did we just walk into Knockturn alley?" She asked, looking around at the dark alley with old and dirty shops as she walked past witches that looked like they came out of a muggle story.
"Yep." Harry nodded as if nothing was wrong.
"Harry this is dangerous!" Tonks hissed.
"Tonks, I have fought dragons, dementors and dark wizards, I am perfectly fine here. Plus I have a master class auror with me," Harry smirked as he gave Tonks a small nudge. "I'll be fine."
"But what are we doing here?" Tonks whispered as she kept her wand ready in her hand.
"Well you are following me, I came to Gringotts to get something important which I gave to Dobby before I left the bank."
"Who the hell is Dobby?"
"My house elf." Harry answered.
"Wait if you have a house elf then why did you have to come at all?" Tonks could not help but ask. "I mean why not just send him to get whatever you need?"
"Partly because I enjoy leaving the house, also because I wanted to come and thirdly because I also want to get something that Dobby can't get for me."
"What would that be?" Tonks asked in an interested voice.
"I want to get something from here." Harry said as he stopped in front of a shop, Tonks stopped alongside him and looked at the shop.
"Don't you think that you're a bit too young to get a tattoo?" She asked.
"I have done a lot of things that I am supposed to be young for." Harry shrugged.
"Yeah but you know that you're planning to do this in full view of an auror right?" She raised an eyebrow.
"You won't say anything." Harry said confidently.
"And how do you know that?"
"Please." Harry snorted before he walked inside with Tonks reluctantly following after him.
.....
"Wow, that hurt more than I thought it would." Harry said, shaking his left hand, when he and Tonks exited the shop.
"I bet it does." Tonks responded. "Let me have a look." Tonks said. Harry extended his left hand into both of Tonk's hand. She looked at the back of his hand to find the head of a stag with a pink flower in its mouth. It moved, like most magical tattoos, but could not really travel anywhere around Harry's body. "What made you chose this?" She asked. "If you don't mind me asking." She quickly added.
"It's my dad." Harry smiled, Tonks looked up from the tattoo and gave Harry a confused look. "You can ask Sirius, my dad's animagus form was a stag, it's my patronus's form as well."
"Yeah, Sirius mentioned that you could do a patronus." Tonks said as she looked back at the tattoo, her fingers idly rubbing it. "The flower, let me guess, your mother?"
"Yep." Harry nodded with a small smile.
"Lily." Tonks said in a soft voice as she let his hand go.
"Yeah," Harry said as the two began walking. "Sirius told me how my dad used to always call her 'Lily flower'. I have already got one reminder from my mother," Harry said as he tapped his scar. "I thought it would be nice to have one of dad." Harry said as he rubbed his hand for a second before he stopped and tried to walk as normally as possible.
"If it makes you feel better I am sure that they are proud of you." Tonks said, her voice a near whisper.
"Thanks." Harry said, giving her a genuine smile.
"You have anywhere else you need to go?"
"I'm going to stop at the leaky cauldron to get something to eat then it's back home. You want something? My treat."
"Your treat huh?" She grinned. "Sure, I could go for something to eat. But when we go back then I am going to apparate us, no more of that bloody knight bus."
"You didn't like it?" Harry laughed a little.
"Today reminded me why I have not gone on the damn thing since I was a kid."
"Well I like it, thought that was probably because of that hot girl that kept falling on me."
"Oh shut it." She rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.
"She was really hot."
