Harry moved to his side to present a smaller profile to his opponent and flicked the curses that headed towards him, making Julian smile proudly.
Tonks watched dumbly as Harry easily deflect the curses with his wand. She was expecting him to summon a shield charm and was prepared to send a barrage of banishing curses but it seems her familiar was more skilled than she expected.
Grinning with delight, she stepped up the level of the curses and moved the sideways, making it difficult for Harry to lock on her. Harry copied her actions and both started a running battle and the power and complexity of their curses increased.
Tonks was pleasantly surprised at how good Harry was at dueling. The young thief used his mobility to evade most of the curses, and only used his shield to block the curses Tonks sent that could not be flicked aside with his wand.
Tonks training with Moody showed, as she was unpredictable in her actions and rarely used the same moves twice. Slowly but surely, she was getting the upper hand in the duel as harry was forced into the defensive from Tonks' salvo of curses and hexes.
Harry panted as he ducked and rolled to evade another series of curses and returned fire. Tonks was a machine, never letting up in her duel and she didn't even give him time to regain his breath. Harry realized Tonk's plan, she was trying to wear him out.
He knew Tonks was clumsy at times, but whenever she dueled with Moody, she barely made mistakes with her footing. He looked back at Tonks, her hair cycling in different colors in excitement and he decided to launch a desperate attack before his stamina was depleted.
Sticking to his strengths, Harry ran full sprint towards Tonks, ducking and diving, ready to use his secret weapon.
Tonks wondered what Harry was up to as he continued to run towards her. Harry leaped and she immediately pointed her wand as he flew through the air, ready to send a stunning curse at him.
Suddenly Harry changed in mid leap and Tonks found herself staring at Kit, his green eyes accentuated by his black fur. Tonks hesitated in her attack and Kit attached himself on her chest, but a moment later Harry transformed and his unexpected weight sent both of them tumbling on the grass.
"Gotcha." Harry grinned as he pointed his wand at Tonk's neck.
"That's cheating!" Tonks complained. She heard laughter and looked up to see Fleur, her mother Apolline and the famous Flamels smiling at her.
"It's not cheating!" Harry said. "I'm not allowed to fade in the duel so I decided to exploit your weakness."
"You knew I would hesitate when you transformed into Kit." Tonks pouted.
"I had no choice." Harry said. "You were too good."
"Good duel" Julian approached the two combatants who were lying down on the grass. "I can see why Moody picked you. Very good Tonks, with a little more training you will become a top rate auror."
"Thank you Mr. Delacour." Tonks said happily. Getting praised by a former dueling champion was something she appreciated.
"I have to admire your cunning." Julian said to Harry. "But next time, try to defeat your opponent using your wand. Not everyone is a cat person."
Harry nodded and he stood up and offered a hand to Tonks who was still lying on the ground. The auror trainee regarded her familiar and decided to take revenge for his earlier actions. She suddenly pulled her familiar to the ground and they tumbled and laughed as they rolled through the grass.
"Let me go!" Harry whined as Tonks pinned him to the ground.
"Uhuh" Tonks shook her head sideways. "You need to be punished for that stunt you pulled."
"But you fell for it." Harry smirked. "Sucker."
"That's it!" Tonks declared. She immediately tickled Harry's sides making her familiar laugh out loud.
"Mama!" Fleur walked up to her mother who was busy talking with Perenelle.
"Yes dear?" Apolline smiled at her daughter.
"That Tonks! She is taking Harry away from me!" Fleur complained. She looked back at her betrothed who was still rolling around the grass with Tonks and Gabrielle who decided that what they were doing was fun.
"They are just having fun dear." Apolline said. "Why don't you join them?"
"I do not like this Tonks." Fleur crossed her arms defiantly. "Ever since she came here, Harry has been paying less attention towards me."
"Oh?" Apolline raised her eyebrows. "I remember you were just talking with Harry the whole morning."
"He is not paying attention to me now!" Fleur sniffed.
"Darling, perhaps Harry's interests are changing." Apolline said softly. "Instead of playing with him, why don't you show him the other side of a relationship?"
"You mean the one you forbid me to reach him Mama?" Fleur asked excitedly.Penny and Apolline shared a look for a moment before turning back to the young witch. "Yes, I think your future husband is old enough to learn more about kissing. You must train him to be a good kisser Fleur."
"Of course." Fleur smiled. She looked at where her future husband and younger sister were playing with Tonks and took a deep breath. The young witch pursed her lips and tossed her hair and headed to the laughing trio.
"I think young Fleur is jealous." Perenelle smiled.
"She is not used to sharing Harry's attention." Apolline continued setting the picnic table. "Usually when Harry is here, all his free time is devoted to Fleur."
"He shares a familiar bond with Tonks." Penny said. "No one can blame them for being unnaturally close to each other."
"Who wants to help in the food?" Apolline looked up from her chores list. It was a yearly tradition for the Delacours to arrange the Christmas preparations themselves. Apolline felt it would be more intimate and genuine if only the family were present and decided to give the servants a long well deserved vacation.
"I already picked up the Tree." Julian said.
