"Just don't want to waste the day is all." Harry shrugged before watching Tonks stumble over her own two feet before she righted herself.
"Damn it." Tonks cursed as she sent a look at Harry. "Not a word, mister!"
"Didn't say a thing…" Harry grinned with his hands up placating his friend. "You klutz."
"I said not a word you prat!" Tonks huffed as she let off her Wandless Stinging Hex. Harry darted to the side to avoid the spell prompting Tonks to launch another one. "Hold still! You have this coming!"
"I spoke only the truth!" Harry called back before taking a deep breath and exhaling a cloud of smoke that quickly covered the side of the room Tonks was in. That was a new spell Harry had picked up and made Wandless over the break. 'Fluctus Fumus' or the 'Billowing Smoke' spell was used to obscure vision and hamper breathing. It was often used as an escape spell by the cornered Witch or Wizard. Harry had found it in one of his trips to the Library and decided to learn it for the utility it provided.
"Colligentes Caeli!" Tonks incanted as all the smoke quickly gathered into a small ball at the tip of her wand. "Finite." With the Dispelling Charm used the smoke ball vanished and Tonks grinned as she trained her wand on Harry.
"I thought you wanted to work on your Wandless Magic? So why are you using your wand?" Harry teased the older witch making her stick her tongue out at him.
"You hush! You're lucky I don't hex you for that too!" Tonks threatened before she stowed her wand back in its holster. "Now watch what I was able to get working over the break!"
"Alright, show me what you managed." Harry smiled as Tonks held up her hand, palm facing outwards, and a translucent barrier formed in front of the girl.
"I made Protego Wandless! I'm sure that'll get me bonus points on both the NEWTS and in the Auror Exam!" Tonks beamed at her accomplishment getting applause from Harry.
"That's brilliant, Tonks! I still haven't had much luck with Protego. Or with Fulmen either, now that I think about it. But I did spend a lot of my time over break getting the Rune Safe finished. I guess I should get back into Practical Magic now." Harry congratulated his friend.
"Well I could use a training buddy since Penny has her boring Prefect meeting today." Tonks grinned as she pointed her right index finger at Harry. "Now dance my minion!" She cackled as she launched a Stinging Hex at her friend.
"Oi! Who do you think you're calling a minion?!" Harry shouted back as he blasted her hex out of the air with his Flipendo spell. "This means war!" With that Harry launched a small volley of his own Stinging Hexes at Tonks. The Seventh Year only laughed harder as she summoned her Protego and let his hexes bounce off her shield.
"You're already my nerd, might as well go all in and become my minion too!" Tonks teased as she dropped her shield and launched the second spell she'd managed to make Wandless over the break. Conjured ropes flew at Harry seeking to tie the young Wizard up. Harry swiped his hand downwards and the ropes split as if they'd been sliced with a blade.
"Cutting Charm beats Incarcerous!" Harry taunted as he launched a more powerful Flipendo at Tonks. The Metamorph moved to the side to dodge the spell only to trip and fall to the floor. "Got you!" Harry called out as he launched another Flipendo at the downed girl.
"Not today, Harrikins!" Tonks mocked as her Protego reappeared and blocked the spell. "You should give up and accept your place as my minion!"
"I don't know the meaning of the word!" Harry laughed over dramatically as he breathed out his Billowing Smoke spell to obscure Tonks' vision. A volley of Stinging Hexes burst from the smoke forcing Harry to run to dodge them all.
"You'll soon learn your place minion!" Tonks cackled as she rushed out of the smoke launching Stinging Hexes at Harry.
A few hours later Penny stuck her head inside the partially opened door of the workshop. Seeing Harry tied up and sitting on Tonks' lap while said Metamorph teasingly rubbed her cheek against his was an odd sight to be sure.
"So…what did I miss?" Penny questioned as she stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
"Oh nothing, me and Harry just had some spell practice." Tonks giggled as she continued to snuggle Harry.
"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it." Harry mumbled over and over again as Tonks ignored him. Unfortunately the younger Wizard was low on mana and unable to do anything to escape the older girl's hold. The embarrassed blush on his face at being seen like this only made Tonks giggle more.
"Tonks be nice." Penny sighed as she moved over to the sitting pair and pulled a chair over to herself with a Wandless Accio Charm. Harry looked towards his Prefect friend with hope of escape and Penny smiled at him in return. "Share." The dirty-blonde Ravenclaw requested getting Harry to look at her in complete shock.
"Sure thing!" Tonks chirped as she practically passed Harry over to Penny. The Wizard soon found himself sitting in the Prefect's lap and being snuggled by the Fifth Year girl.
"You're adorable when you look all tired like this." Penny cooed at Harry as she nuzzled her cheek into his hair.
"Who are you and what have you done with Penny?" Harry asked confused, he'd never seen Penny act like this before.
"What? I can't cuddle with my Betrothed?" Penny asked in mock shock.
"Damn it, Tonks." Harry grumbled as Tonks broke out into a fit of laughter. He should have known the playful Witch would still talk to Penny about the situation at St. Mungos.
"Oh just enjoy the cuddles, Harrikins. You're a lucky boy to have two pretty girls' attention you know." Tonks teased.
