"Semantics! If you're influential enough no one will stop you! Besides, don't you want to marry a pair of beautiful and powerful witches, Harry?" Tonks questioned him while pulling Penny into her side and winking at him.
"I…um…uh…Tonks!" Harry stuttered out having to sit down before he got light headed from how hot his face was getting. Though even he could admit that Tonks and Penny were very pretty girls.
"Tonks, stop teasing Harry with this!" Penny admonished as she freed herself from Tonks' hold. "You don't have to listen to her at all, Harry. You do what you want." The pink on Penny's cheeks hinted that she didn't hate the idea of marrying Harry in the future though.
"I'll think about it." Harry mumbled just loud enough for the two witches to hear a few minutes later. Tonks smiled brightly at him while Penny looked pleasantly shocked though pink reappeared on her cheeks as well.
"You're the best, Harrikins!" Tonks cheered as she pulled Harry into a hug and kissed his cheek. "Or should I be calling you boyfriend now?" Harry's face nearly exploded from emotional overload.
"Tonks, stop teasing Harry." Penny chided her friend. "And thank you very much for considering teaching us how to perform Wandless Magic, Harry."
"Yeah, thank you Harry, it's very kind of you to consider sharing something like this with us." Tonks thanked him sincerely.
"I'll think on it for a bit before I decide. But you two are my closest friends and it might be good to try and teach someone else before I try teaching my children in the future." Harry reasoned as he leaned back in his chair.
"Make sure you think on the marriage part as well!" Tonks grinned though the look in her eyes suggested she wasn't completely joking. Harry sputtered in shock again while Penny just sighed while placing her hand on her forehead. There would never be a dull moment with Tonks around apparently.
"Tonks…" Penny began only to get cut off by the Metamorphmagus.
"No trying to steal him just for yourself either, Penny! We're in this together!" Tonks grinned salaciously causing the pretty Ravenclaw to fluster immensely.
"Tonks!" Penny cried out in embarrassment as she covered her bright red face with both her hands. Tonks laughed loudly, she loved teasing these two! But in the back of her mind she admitted to herself that she wouldn't mind the arrangement she'd proposed. A small daydream briefly flickered through her mind of a cozy home with a gaggle of children running around their hair varying colors of dark blonde, dark brown, or rainbow.
But they all had the same amazingly green eyes.
It was the last week of November and Harry had finally made a decision on teaching Penny and Tonks his method of Wandless Magic. It had been three days since he'd told his two closest friends he'd think about it and now they were coming to meet him in his hidden workshop for his answer. He'd thought long and hard about his answer and hoped they'd be alright with it. A knock on the door let him know his friends had arrived and he let them in a moment later.
"Afternoon Harry, I take it your homework is already done?" Penny asked getting a smile from Harry. Penny would always be the consummate Prefect.
"Yes Penny, just like I always do." Harry replied and it was true. He had found that with a bit of effort most homework assignments could be finished within a day or so of them being assigned. Only longer projects needed more time to complete. This is how Harry was able to maintain his schoolwork and still practice his Magic and his Enchanting.
"Wotcher, Harrikins, your Tonksie has arrived." Tonks teased as she pulled him into a side hug. Harry sighed and just accepted the hug since there was no way to discourage Tonks' teasing so he was trying to learn to roll with it.
"Good to see you too, Tonks." Harry smiled as Tonks let him go and moved over to sit next to Penny. Deciding to get to the heart of the matter Harry took a deep breath and started.
"So I've been thinking about teaching you both Wandless Magic, the method I stumbled upon to discover it and giving you basic instruction on casting spells without a focus." Harry began getting both Tonks and Penny to perk up slightly. "If you're willing to put in the work and listen, then I'll be willing to teach you since you two are my closest friends." He finished getting surprised looks from both girls before Penny gave him a warm smile and Tonks shot up from her chair with a cheer.
"Hell yeah! You're the best Harrikins!" Tonks exclaimed as she quickly rushed over to him and pulled him into a hug. Then she started repeatedly kissing his cheeks in an overly dramatic way.
"Tonks, stop it, let go you crazy girl!" Harry struggled only for Tonks to laugh and hug him tighter. Penny sighed as she stood up and made her way over to help Harry get out of Tonks' arms. After separating the two Harry began their impromptu first lesson. "What do you two know about Occlumency?"
"I know it's Magic to protect the mind. I've tried to learn a bit since my mum knows it and she says it'll help me get into the Aurors after school." Tonks replied.
