Nymphadora was stunned, she managed to get her wand back after she saw the figure in front of her discard it after he got a newer one, however, what she was seeing in the sky she had only seen it in the books of the Auror Academy when she was in her last year, that thing, that skull eating a snake is what Aurors called the dark mark, and that was the signal for Voldemort’s followers to appear where the mark was cast.

But the most shocking thing about this situation was that Harry was the one who made the dark mark appear, which was something that made many questions appear in the older woman’s head, the figure told her that Harry Potter was gone, and it didn’t make sense, but she could see that as the truth because his eyes were different, they were yellowish as if they belonged to a snake.

“Are you a pureblood witch?” Asked the figure she has known as Harry Potter her whole life.

Now the figure was speaking directly to her and the older woman didn’t know how to react, she felt intimidated for some reason, sensing the fear in the woman, the figure that looked like Harry suddenly covered himself with a black cloak.

“So…Will you answer my question or not!?” Asked the figure with a stern tone.

“I-I’m a half-blood…” Nymphadora muttered due to the fear she was experiencing at this moment.

The figure remained in silence for a few moments before he looked at the metamorph straight into her eyes and then, he noticed something.

“You’re a metamorph, right? Freaks of nature, but I can make use of you if you join me,” the strange figure said with a smirk on his face.

And hearing those words made something light inside the metamorph, she hated hearing those comments ever since she was young, her condition had always made her feel a bit inferior to the rest of witches and wizards, and it took her a long time to accept herself as she is, she didn’t ask to be born like this, so, she pointed her wand at the figure in front of her.

“I don’t know who you are, what you want, or what you did to Harry but...You’re going down,” she prepared herself to attack which caused the figure in front of her to smirk.

“Uh? Is that so? Very well, you seem to be eager to lose your life, so, if that's the case and you aren't willing to join me then, I’m going to grant you that wish,” the figure said with a smirk on his face.

Suddenly, he raised his wand with a calm expression.

“Avada Kedavr—” Nymphadora heard, and she knew it was over, this was her end.

The metamorph closed her eyes waiting for the strike to kill her, but after a few moments, she realized she was still alive and when she heard a wand fall on some rocks, her eyes widened as she saw the figure that looked like Harry on the ground grabbing his own neck.

“W-What the…” Nymphadora could only say as she saw the scene in front of her.

“Fuck…Potter…What did you do!?” The figure said in front of Nymphadora. “Where the fuck are my incompetent followers!?” The figure said in a desperate tone.

Meanwhile, in Harry’s head where the battle he had against the Horcrux happened, something incredible was going on considering the Horcrux declared itself victorious from the battle as the last resort the thing used to defeat Harry was a special venom placed on her lips before kissing Harry, is a dark magic venom existing for the sole reason to consume Harry’s soul and mind so the horcrux could take over the young man’s body without too much effort.

However, things suddenly took an unexpected turn as Harry was now lifting the figure, he was lifting it by the neck and the figure seemed to be in pain.

“Voldemort…That’s not going to be enough to defeat me, you have to remember that as long as I have my imagination, I can make anything come true,” Harry said with a determined expression.

He was going to finish this thing for good, however, he had to do something first, he needed to know what was going on in the real world.

“I don’t know if this is going to be enough to get rid of you, I highly doubt it because it’s always the same every time I use magic, this is the first time we see and talk to each other though but I know that I’ve always fought unconsciously against you,” Harry said as his hands were starting to get covered with gold energy.

And the figure was desperate, the thing was trying to free itself from the young man’s grip but it was useless, and soon, the figure started to scream as its whole body got covered by Harry’s energy, it was some kind of golden fire, the thing let out a screech that was painful to hear but still, that didn’t stop Harry from fully disintegrating the figure and soon, he was back to reality.

He realized he was on the ground and he was coughing, but he forgot about his current state and decided to take a look at the world to see what was going on, and he was happy to find that everything was just the same, and Tonks had a worried look on her face and her eyes widened the moment she saw Harry’s eyes getting back to normal.

“Harry…Are you finally back!?” Asked the metamorph and Harry ran as fast as he could to hug her.

However, the happiness couldn’t last for too long as he saw the dark mark his father had told him about ever since he was little, he and his brother had to memorize that figure to run in case they saw it, it was used by Voldemort’s minions to call for everyone in their organization.

“N-No fucking way,” Harry said nervously. “Tonks…You need to get inside and tell everyone that death eaters are coming,” Harry said as he got ready to do something crazy.

He called for his broom and Nymphadora stared at him with a confused expression.

“Harry…Where are you going?” Asked the metamorph in a concerned tone.

“Far away, I don’t know for how long I’m going to hide but don’t worry…I’ll come back,” he said with a smirk on his face.

He was lying, now that he realized that Voldemort took the opportunity to take over his body to call for his friends, and knowing that they were aware of the Horcrux inside him, he knew they were going to be after him, so, he needed to get out of here as soon as possible, he was planning to destroy the Horcrux in one way or another just so his loved ones could be safe.

“No…Don’t go please, I—” Nymphadora tried to stop him but he now locked eyes with her, and he had a calm expression as he did that.

And suddenly he realized he was really close to her and he couldn’t stop himself from blushing and placing his hands on her face as he cupped her cheeks.

“You know Tonks…I’ve always wanted to kiss you…If I could have one last wish I’d be a kiss from you,” Harry said with a weak smile on his face.

He wanted to look like the coolest guy ever with those words but Tonks surprised him by suddenly kissing him without waiting for anything else, ever since the first moment she saw him at the party, she felt completely attracted to him, so, she had wanted to do this the whole night but she was acting too shy around him for some reason, and even though Harry wanted this kiss to last forever he knew that wasn’t fair for everyone.

“Tonks…Hurry up and tell everyone what I said and tell these words to my parents, tell them that the death eaters are looking for the Horcrux that’s inside me, tell them that if the death eaters ask where I am, just tell them the truth,” Harry said to the metamorph whose eyes widened.

But she didn’t have time to react or say anything because Harry climbed on his broom and got away as fast as possible, she tried to tell him something but her efforts were futile, he was gone and she didn’t know if he was going to see him once again.

But the nightmare was just starting, as the clouds started to get darker and darker, a storm was coming but Nymphadora knew that the clouds didn't become like that because of the weather, she could feel it, she could feel them getting closer and closer, so, she decided to forget about her feelings and act like an Auror to tell everyone what just happened.

Meanwhile, Harry was flying on his broom to the end of the world, he had no idea where to go but there was just one thing on his mind, he knew he needed to get away as far as he could, he knew the death eaters wouldn’t dare to do anything to his family unless they get the Horcrux that's resting inside him first, he was planning to use himself as a bait.
