Harry's pov :
After the incident with Ron, Hermione fussed about it, scowling Slughorn for not checking his food, wondering why he wanted to offer it to Dumbledore. She then hugged me tightly, tears flowing, thanking me for saving Ron, and was glad I was okay. Tonks first words as she came in the nursery were quite funny, and, had Pomfrey been present at that time, the pinkette was in for quite a washing of her mouth :
"Merlin's saggy tits! Holy bloody fucking shitting hell! You're fucking alright !" was the first fifth of the sentence, the following being even more filled with swears. The next second, I was engulfed in a tight hug. Lavender and Romilda Vane were quite throughoutly punished. Thankfully I had chosen Annabeth as replacement because if not, I would have to take Cormac. Anyway. With Luna as commentator, Gryffindor won 250-100 against Hufflepuff. To help the auror, I put both Dobby and Kreacher onto Malfoy's track, Kreacher almost protested, but told me that I was a good master so he would do what I wanted. They were reporting to me twice a week, and then were reporting to the auror. I've watch a new memory with Dumbledore, and, through guesses, we were able to declare that the Hufflepuff cup could be a Horcrux. Sadly, I had no chance to have Slughorn's memory. So, after a brief moment of cleverness and remembrance, I took a bit of Felix Felicis and was able to extract the memory from the potion teacher. We learned that Voldemort wanted to create 6 Horcruxes. So, without the ring, the locket and diary, that leaves four Horcrux counting me. One thing coming from Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, his snake, the Hufflepuff cup and me. Everything was fine. Until one day. I was reading the Half-Blood Prince book when I noticed a corner of one page folded down. I went to it and noticed a spell:
Sectumsempra : For enemies.
I bowed to be near Nymphadora's ear:
"Do you know this spell?" she looked at the book and frowned :
"No, though it includes Sectum, which is the Latin for the verb to cut. I would recommend that you don't use it until we try it together." I nodded and we went out of the common room. The rest of the day was uneventful, until I saw Malfoy step in Myrtle's toilets, so I followed him. Draco Malfoy was standing with his back to the door, his hands clutching either side of the sink in front of me, his white-blond head bowed.
“Don’t,” crooned Moaning Myrtle’s voice from one of the cubicles. “Don’t . . . tell me what’s wrong . . . I can help you. . . .”
“No one can help me,” said Malfoy. His whole body was shaking. “I can’t do it. . . . I can’t. . . . It won’t work . . . and unless I do it soon . . . he says he’ll kill me. . . .”
And I realized, with a shock so huge it seemed to root me to the spot, that Malfoy was crying — actually crying — tears streaming down his pale face into the grimy basin. Malfoy gasped and gulped and then, with a great shudder, looked up into the cracked mirror and saw me staring at him over his shoulder. Malfoy wheeled around, drawing his wand. Instinctively, I pulled out my own, throwing two stunner. Malfoy’s hex missed me by inches, shattering the lamp on the wall beside me; I threw myself sideways, thought 'Levicorpus!' and flicked my wand, but Malfoy blocked the jinx and raised my wand for another
“No! No! Stop it!” squealed Moaning Myrtle, her voice echoing loudly around the tiled room. “Stop! STOP!”  There was a loud bang and the bin behind me exploded; it made me come back to reason :
"STOP YOU BLOODY IDIOT! I CAN HELP YOU!" I said dodging two other curses and waving another away quite simply
"Shut up Potter! You can't help me! No one can! Especially not you!" the blond said, sending curse after curse that I just flicked away "He will kill me and my mother if I say anything!" Malfoy screamed, his voice breaking as rage and shameful tears ran down his face. Oh shit....
"Then I can at least stand out of your way. But please reconsider it! Don't go on this fucking path! If you kill who I know you want to kill, you'll just go deeper and deeper into troubles and won't be able to get back when I beat him. Because I will. No matter how many years it takes me! I will make him wish he left me alone all those years ago!" I growled still deviating his curses with simple movements. A glint of fear, hope and surprise briefly went through his eyes as he lowered his wand looking at me. Snape chose this moment to barged in and, looking at the scene, to draw the wrong conclusions :
"60 points from Gryffindor Potter and one month worth of detent-"
"Potter didn't fire the first curse Professor. In fact... He could have ended it at any point but just let me shoot at him." a broken voice cut the former potion teacher, and, with enormous shock, I understand that it was Malfoy who had said it.
"Very well Mr Malfoy... 60 point from Slytherin and half a month worth of detention." Snape said clearly enraged that I wiggled out of this one. Before exiting, the blond heir looked at me and said:
"Please, do stay out of my way Potter...", and it was very shocked that I went to the Gryffindor romantic common room. As I entered, everyone noticed my face so I told them about the encounter. To say they were shocked would be an understatement : they were blown.
"Malfoy was scared?" Percy asked
"Yes."
"Malfoy was nice..." Ron said.
"Yes."
"He was scared for his mother and him?" my girlfriend asked
"Yes."
"Malfoy was nice?!..." the redhead asked again
"Yes."
"So if he fails, Voldemort we kill him?" Hermione asked
"Yes." I answered, getting exasperated
"MALFOY WAS FUCKING NICE!?" my best friend screamed
"YES!" I shouted back. Everyone stood silent, thinking, until Tonks got up getting in her Lily's personna:
"Well, let's go Harry, I believe we had something to check." she said, and I nodded remembering the curse, and took her hand, leading her to the room of requirement. 'I need a place where to train for dueling, I need a place where to train for dueling, I need a place where to train for dueling.' I thought, and the room appeared. We entered and saw cushions all around the room, to avoid any harm and a moving full body balistic ragdoll.
"I love this room." I said. Tonks looked at me and pouted :
"More than me?"
"Of course not, this room can't be here to sexually release me at any time, by opposition to you."
"Oh really? And that's the only thing? Well then, you are hereby now forbidden of touching my body." she said, I smiled and bowed to her ear, whispering :
"Yeah? Then, it means that you can't either." I said before biting her neck and stepping back.
"You dirty... Oh fuck it! You're an absolutely gorgeous bastard!" she screamed jumping on my waist and crashing her lips on mine. I smiled when we stopped:
"I win."
"Shut up." she said waving her wand and jumping away. I turned around and whipped my wand to deviate the curse coming from the now active ragdoll. And, after trading spell, I finally managed to place the new spell:
"SECTUMSEMPRA!" and then, in front of my horrified eyes, deep cuts appeared on the ragdoll, making it fall and bleed out. I was shaking and looked at the potion book with disgust. I then looked toward Tonks who was shocked. I put my wand back in it's holster, took the potion book out, threw my backpack on, caught Nymph's hand and went out of the room before pacing again back and forth, thinking three times : 'I need to hide something.'  I dashed through the room, bypassing the Vanishing Cabinet, pausing beside a large cupboard that seemed to have had acid thrown at its blistered surface. I opened one of the cupboard’s creaking doors: it had already been used as a hiding place for something in a cage that had long since died; its skeleton had five legs. I stuffed the Half-Blood Prince’s book behind the cage and slammed the door. I paused for a moment, my heart thumping horribly, gazing around at all the clutter. . . Finally, to be sure I wouldn't fall back onto it by searching for a new book, I eized the chipped bust of an uglyold warlock from on top of a nearby crate, I stood it on top of the cupboard where the book was now hidden, perched a dusty old wig and a tarnished tiara on the statue’s head to make it more distinctive, then sprinted back through the alleyways of hidden junk as fast as I could to put as much distance as possible. I took a new book from the room, and, with Tonks, we agreed to never talk about it again. Thank Merlin, I was excellent in potion, and managed to have the same mark as ever. The match against Ravenclaw was really good! We won 350-30, and Cho was furious. But a surprise... Should I say a big surprise came after it:
"Harry, wait, go to the Forbidden Forest please." Percy said when finally it was just the usual group of friends. I nodded frowning, and, with Tonks, I walked to the said place. Arriving there, two animals got out: a big black dog, and a huge stag... With brown eyes... And marks around his eyes... No fucking way! I squeezed Nymphadora's hand hard. She looked at me worried and looked back at the stag. Understanding came and she opened widely her mouth. The rest came at that moment :
"Harry? What's going on?"
"S-sis... L-look at his eyes." I said shakingly
"What's up with them? Their... Brown..." she said knowing now what was going on. The stag morphed, hoofs became hands and feet, antlers became untamed black hair and fur marks around the eyes became rectangular glasses. The next thing I knew, I was engulfed in a hug by James Fleamont Potter, my father, while the dog was turning back to my godfather, my mother appeared out of thin air, along with another witch: wavy neck-length blonde hair with electric blue eyes, looking around my parents age (36)
"How?!" I asked as dad turned to his daughter to hug her for the first time
"Percy brought me back. Merlin's pant I'm so proud of you!" he said bringing me in the hug, making Hermione's head and mine collide.
"Ouch! We missed you too dad." we both said together, rubbing our head. Snickers were heard while mom hit dad:
"Language Potter!" more chuckles
"Hah! Take that for colliding my head! Bloody vengeance!" I said playfully, Tonks hit the back of my head :
"Language Potter! And you had worse." she said snickering. Laughter ran around as I said :
"Doesn't mean that I won't feel it!"
"So. From what I saw, you are really gifted on a broom dear son. Anything else your gifted in? And you my daughter?"
"It is with great pain that I informe you dad that Hermione is very bad on a broom... She mostly took after mom, especially in the study section."
"NOOOOOO!" Dad said dramatically "Sirius! You failed me!"
"I'm sorry James, forgive me! But until Christmas, I didn't even know that you had a daughter! Ask Moony when we get back!"
"Wait... You guys went straight here?!" I asked
"Yes, Percy took back your father this morning, sadly, he had to bring back someone else... And I'm very proud that you took after me my Hermy." mom said smiling at my twin who hugged her. I smiled but the blonde witch looked outraged :
"Ouch Lily! I was your first female friend at Hogwarts!"
"That's debatable." Sirius whispered winking at me.
"What was that Black?"the woman asked menacingly
"Nothing my dearest!" he said wincing.
"OK, two questions : are you okay Perce? And who are you?" I asked to the woman.
"Just a shoulder cut by claws, but I cutted in half the fury and the monsters following me."
"As for me, I'm Marlene, Marlene McKinnon. Your mom's best friend." she said smiling at me.
"You still haven't answered my question Harry."  dad said
"Well, beside the flight and the fact that I am pretty clever, I have an affinity to bring and cause troubles."
"Is that so? Well I believe you can't beat the Marauders, it would take lots." Dad smiled arrogantly
"Oh dear Prongs... That's where you're very wrong... It goes in four words that rhymes : Teacher's, Office, Laxatives, Norris." my dad looked proudly and incredulously at us:
"No! You gave Mrs Norris laxatives and put her in a teacher's office?"
"Yup."
"No way! Well... At least, they can't all have nicknames."
"Second times you're wrong dad." Hermione said. "For example, I'm Mustepaw. My boyfriend, Ron Weasley is Furball, Percy is Manetail, Annabeth, his girlfriend, Strigiclaw, Harry is Cornedrue..." she looked at me with a big mischievous smile. I began to nod frowning 'Don't you say it! Don't you say it!'
"And Tonks, my dear twin's girlfriend is Chamely." 'Come on!'
"Oh really....?" He said glaring at Ron "You, young man will not harm my  daughter in any way, or I'll get to you and rip you, limb by limb, beginning with what's between your leg. Do I make myself clear?"
"James!" mom said at the same time as Hermione screamed
"Father!"
"V-very sir!" Ron gulped
"Then it settles it! Glad to meet you. As for you." He said turning to Tonks. I growled narrowing my eyes. "Easy there calf! Only wanted to say, welcome to the family, and, are you Nymph-"
"She is! But don't call her that! Only Harrykins can without dying!" Sirius cut my dad hastily as Dora began to narrowed her eyes.
"Calf?!" I said "I'm more then a calf!" I shouted
"Well... No... The child of a Stag and a Doe is a calf, and as much as I like your nicknames, you have to earn them."
"Earn them... Like this?" I asked as we circled him and all turned in our animals form except Tonks who turned into Remus.
"Well I'll be damned this time..." he said with wide eyes in front of my huge antlers.
