Hermione sat next to him at the table looking down at her plate. She wouldn't meet his eyes. It didn't help that Tonks kept winking at her. Harry sighed and shook his head. This was certainly a development. He had to explain to Hermione what was going on. How sex was the most efficient way to keep his magic from growing too fast. That he needed it at least three times a day.

Even that number wasn't solid. It had been three times before noon that had eased things to a manageable level. Was it three times in the morning then another three in the evening?

Being around magic, especially having it directed at him, sped things up drastically. Until the duels he was at a decent balance. Meaning all he had to do was avoid any sort of incoming magic, keep the pressure under constant vigilance, and have the option of a sexual outlet when things got out of hand. Which was totally possible considering he was going back to Hogwarts in the next few days. A school full of magic and spells just bouncing around everywhere.

Harry looked down at his wrist. On his left hand, opposite the wand holster, was a thick silver band covered in an intricate pattern of runes made of gold threads. It looked like a fancy wristwatch, except the clockface was replaced with a thin, circular diamond.

Amelia Bones had contacted an Unspeakable. They were now aware of Harry's condition and were working to bring it under control. The current idea was to make something that would constantly drain the building magic either by funneling into a vessel of some sort or shift it back to ambient. Both needed time to develop. Right now, the fancy watch was a monitor. The diamond would change color when the magical buildup was in need of release.

Currently it was a steady green, which meant it was within acceptable levels. The ultimate goal was getting it to the natural clarity of the diamond. Yellow was not good. Red was the worst, meaning that he was going to tap into some powerful wild magic. This was how he managed to talk to Hedwig and turn that woman into an actual toad. There still hadn't been any mention of a ministry employee becoming a toad.

Harry found that silent, wandless casting was easy for him now. Using it helped ease the pressure just a bit. It was better than casting spells with his wand, but not enough to make a big difference. He would need to let loose to help at all.

A thought popped into his head. He hadn't tried rubbing one out. If sex helped, then masturbation should do something as well.

Harry stood from the table and hurried up to his room without a word. He was vaguely aware of raised voices, but this was more important.

It wasn't until he was in his room that he realized someone had followed him. He turned around to see Tonks shut the door.

"So." Tonks drew the word out. "How are things?"

Harry stared at her. She was practically bouncing.

"How was it?" Tonks asked. "Did you think she was me? Did you make her scream? Did you blow you? What about anal?"

"Calm down, Tonks." Harry sighed. "Yes, I thought she was you. We were talking about role-playing and turning into other girls. You said you were going to take a shower. She comes in with wet hair, talking about how you were called in to do something with the new assignment. That and her clothes are different than she usually wears. It made sense."

"And the screaming?" Tonks prodded.

"There was screaming." Harry held up a hand. "I'm not going into any more details."

"Fine." She pouted. "Aside from the charm bracelet-"

"Watch." Harry corrected.

"Charm bracelet." Tonks continued. "Bones is still in talks with Dumbles to get things in place for you."

"Joy of joys." Harry flopped back onto his bed.

"What were you doing anyway?" Tonks joined him on the bed, bouncing a bit to get a feel for it. "You were in your own little world and then you rushed off. Should have seen your girlfriends face."

"She's not my girlfriend." Harry covered his face with a pillow.

"You should tell her that." Tonks tried to pull the pillow away.

"I'm going to have to have sex like ten times a day." Harry held it in place. "That's way too much for one girl, which isn't fair to ask anyone to be fine with. Want to be my girlfriend? By the way, I'm going to be shagging ten other girls and everyone is going to know within the first couple hours of the year."

"Ten girls?" Tonks let out a low whistle. "That's quite a line-up. How'd you reach that number?"

"It took three times this morning to calm things down." Harry replied.

"One with me, another with Hermione." Tonks thought for a moment. "Tell me you didn't shag my boss."

"I didn't shag your boss." Harry said. "She shagged me."

"Sweet Merlin's Nipples." Tonks breathed out. She flopped back onto bed next to him. "Plan for now is for me to follow you to Hogwarts. Officially, I'm the new Defense assistant professor. Fudge was pushing for a Ministry employee to take the position, but Bones was able to tack one of hers on too."

"Assistant?" Harry asked. "Who's going to be the professor?"

"No clue. Fudge wasn't happy but agreed. We all know he's doing it so he can slip more of his people in the department." Tonks shrugged. "I don't mind. I'm getting paid to teach and be an auror on assignment."

"That sounds complicated." Harry muttered.

"That's politics." Tonks shrugged. "Why were you up here?"

"I got to thinking-"

"That's dangerous." Tonks cut in.

"I got to thinking." Harry continued. "If sex helps, then masturbation should too."

It was easier to talk about these things with Tonks. Having a pillow covering his face helped as well. She wasn't able to see him blush.

"You were coming up here to flog the Bishop?" Tonks asked. "Not a bad idea. Don't let me stop you."

"That's not how this works." Harry sat up. "You can't be here while I do it."

"Why not?" Tonks looked up at him.

Harry tried to think of an answer.

"Well?" Tonks was smiling now.

"It's private." Harry offered.
