"Excuse me, could you tell me where Neville Longbottom is?" Ronald Weasley gave a shrug, before pointing towards the main hall.
"You wouldn't happen to be related to Arthur and Molly Weasley would you?"
"Uh yeah, I'm Ron, youngest son."
"Son?"
"Yeah, Ginny is the youngest but she's a girl so…"
"Oh, so Molly finally got the daughter she wanted, that's good."
The pair of adults continued down the hall, leaving a rather confused redhead behind.
Entering the main hall the two glanced about, until they found their target.
"Neville?"
The room fell silent, with most of the professors staring in shock. All of this, however, paled in comparison to the boy in question's reaction, which was a mixture of disbelief and fanatical hope.
"M-mom… d-dad?"
"Sweet heart… it's us."
He slowly stood, and began walking towards his parents, while more than a few of the more experienced teachers cast revealing and identification charms to ensure that the two were whom they claimed.
None of this mattered though, as Neville broke into a run a split second later, as his parents pulled him into a sobbing group hug.
Meanwhile a raven-haired boy watched on, a small smile appearing on his face as he watched the reunion.
...
"It appears you have a visitor my Lord"
Harry stifled a groan of annoyance. Sure it was nice having everyone obey him all of the time, and it was always amusing to watch them try to please him in whatever stupidly simplistic ways students could think up but…
Sometimes he just wanted to have a little alone time… and after Luna left for the library to do some research while Hedwig was out for an evening flight he figured that taking a warm relaxing bath would be a nice change of pace, an opportunity to simply enjoy the silence of his own thoughts.
Apparently, someone disagreed.
"Send them in…" he replied to the portrait, who nodded and allowed admittance.
"W-wotcher Harry" the voice called out a few moments later as a pink haired Auror stumbled into the bathroom.
"Ah Miss Tonks…"
"Just Tonks, you can just call me Tonks…"
"Of course, Tonks. So to what do I owe the pleasure of your company this evening?"
"I… wanted to talk to you about what happened… with the Basilisk."
"Ah, I see. Well if you are going to arrest me could you at least wait for a few…"
"Arrest you!? Why in Merlin's name would I do that?"
"You mean besides the obvious Dark Magic I used to utterly slaughter the creature? I am sure Dumbledore will be…"
"No… no I didn't tell him. I… I am just afraid of disappointing everyone now. Everyone thinks I am this big hero and… and you were the real hero! You saved me, saved the students!"
"I am already far more famous than I desire to be. You can use the recognition far more than I, hopefully they gave you a raise of some sort."
"Psh… the bonus was more than half my yearly pay…"
"Well there you go, so do not worry about it."
"I still want to thank you though, I mean you saved me!"
"I can assure you that you do not…"
"And all the students you probably saved because of it! Who knows how many would have died? Hell I would be dead! And then there is the…" as the woman rattled on the boy felt his control slipping a little, he just wanted some peace and quiet… plus the fact he was sitting in a bloody bathrobe, next to a bathtub filling with water should have been enough of an indicator of his intentions, but still she didn't seem to get the hint.
"And then my mother would have cried…"
" Tonks! "
"Oh um yes?"
"Either strip, or get out."
"Wh-what!?"
The boy gestured towards the water, "What do you think I am doing in a bathroom with a tub of water?"
"Oh…"
"So I reiterate, either strip and get in with me, or leave. I am not taking a bath with you sitting around awkwardly waiting for me to finish."
Tonks was about to give a teasing reply, something along the lines of charging him extra for the show or some such nonsense, until she realized he dropped his own robes… and had nothing on underneath them. Without so much as a blush he stepped into the water letting it rise up to his mid thighs as he enjoyed the sensation.
'Well… I do have to thank him, and it would be rather rude to just leave…' the Auror mentally justified before stripping down and stepping in behind him, pressing her body against his back as her arms circled his waist, while her hands went to work elsewhere.
...
Tonks bolted upright in the bed as her alarm spell hexed her awake. Where was she? What had… the woman turned to see the sleeping head of messy black hair on the pillow to her left.
Oh dear God… the Aurors mind was spinning, she had slept with a twelve year old, and yes technically she hadn't had sex with him but she could already picture the conversation in her mind. 'Oh don't worry Director, I didn't shag the boy, I just molested him in the bathtub while we were both naked. Then after taking a long relaxing bath with the child I dragged him to his bed where we snogged senseless for a few hours. No, of course we were naked the entire time, why wouldn't we be?'
Yes, her career was over, very over. She would be lucky to not end up in Azkaban after this went public. An Auror assigned to protect the students at Hogwarts having a sexual affair with a second year? She would be locked up just to show that the DMLE had a zero tolerance policy.
Even worse was the fact that the boy made celebrities look like commoners. Why the hell couldn't she have bedded a less popular student? The rumors would be circulating before breakfast!
"God I am so dead…"
"And why is that Tonks?"
The woman practically jumped from the calm voice behind her.
"H-Harry?"
"Who else?" the boy asked, his lips finding the back of her shoulder before kissing his way upwards, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body.
"I-I…"
His mouth was reaching the junction of her neck now, and if he actually reached her pulse… Merlin she needed to put some distance between them and clear her head before she ended up straddling the boy.
"We need to talk about this…" she interrupted, practically flinging herself out of the bed, falling to the floor in the process.
"But it is so early . It isn't even five yet… come back to bed my dear…"
"I…" she wanted to say 'no' to just leave right then and there but… God the way he looked at her, the way she felt, the way that she just wanted to please him… "I don't think you understand how bad this is Harry…"
"Bad?"
"This… thing between us…"
"The sheets? I find them quite pleasant."
"No not those you goof, this relationship . I took advantage of you Harry! I am a monster, I am a sick perverted…"
"If I recall I made no attempt at stopping you, and if memory serves I was far from being a 'victim'. I do believe that I was the one who started our third round of… exploration."
For a brief moment Tonks swore that the snow-white owl perched nearby looked ready to tear her eyes out at the statement from her owner. "Harry you don't get it. When my boss finds out, when the public finds out…"
"Why would they find out? I suppose unless you go around bragging about it but otherwise…"
"Wait… what?"
