Harry Potter and the Hunter
Chapter One
Two Months Later
"Punch, duck, roundhouse" Michael ordered Harry as they sparred, just to get knocked to the ground as Harry surprisingly followed them.
"Okay. That's enough training for today" Michael groaned as he pushed himself off the ground.
"Since when do you actually do what I say" Michael asked Harry.
"Since you still haven't taken me patrolling. I'm a vampire slayer and you won't even let me stake some a single vamp" Harry whined.
"Well if you play your cards right we might slay tonight" Michael announced, watching the grin appear on Harry's face. Harry cheered and hugged Michael, causing him to think about the changes Harry had gone through.
They left Hogwarts and drove back to Michael's apartment. Over the first two weeks Harry brooded in his room until Michael finally convinced him to do a bit of training. After his first training session Harry started turning into a completely different person. He became more bubbly and outgoing.
And then the hurdle arrived a month into his stay. His demonic energies from the slayer powers interfered with his magic, completely destroying it. He fell into a catatonic state which was broken a week later due to his body getting used to sustaining itself without magic. Michael admitted the truth to him a few hours after he woke up. He wasn't really his watcher. He was fired from the watchers council for disobeying orders by protecting a young girl from a few vamps. He had a contact in the council who gave him news of the first Male slayer. Harry accepted this news with a smile on his face and claimed that he was the one to train him, not some stuffy old farts. So their training continued with vigour, Harry developing a nicely muscled figure.
"Thank you thank you thank you "Harry cheered as he jumped up and down.
"If that was to happen a certain boy must train for another two hours after lunch" Michael announced, with a look in Harry's direction.
"Fine. What are we having for lunch" Harry asked, as his stomach had just started rumbling. Michael could only chuckle and shake his head.
"Either last night's leftovers or McDonalds, your choice." Michael asked, already knowing the answer. At the look Harry sent his way, he said "McDonalds it is"

"Name the five things to remember when slaying tonight" Michael asked over his cheeseburger.
"Never take your eye off the vamp, stake them in the heart, a lighter is a powerful weapon against a vamp, don't taunt them just stake them and finally stop your watcher from getting his arse handed to him" Harry answered with a smirk. Michael just glared at him and smacked the back of his head.
"Sunset is in four hours. Let's go back home and train for a bit before we hit the graveyards" Michael said as Harry shoved the last of the fries into his mouth. Harry just nodded and stood up his mouth still full.

"My feet hurt. We've been walking around for ages and we still haven't seen anything" Harry moaned.
"Stop your bloody whining. I don't have supernatural powers how do you think my feet feel. Just be patient it's only eight thirty" Michael snapped, also frustrated at the lack of action.
"Maybe they knew to be scared" Harry stated confidently, trying to cover the nervousness that was sure to appear in his voice.
"Don't get cocky. You get cocky, you get killed" replied Michael, who was developing a bad feeling.
They continued walking through the graveyard, which was eerily quiet. As they moved along the beaten old path Harry noticed an open grave, which seemed to have been dug out from the inside.
"Michael!" Harry yelled "Look over there." Michael obliged, walking over to the grave. As he peered over the edge, he was pulled down into the hole. Harry reacted with lightning quick reflexes as he ran over to the grave where Michael lay, his blood being tasted by a vampire. Harry reached down and pulled him up, dragging the vamp with him. Once he had pulled him up, Harry grabbed the stake from his belt and shoved it through the offending vampires chest.
"You okay?" Harry questioned as he knelt next to Michael. Michael winced as he tried to sit up.
"I'm fine. Just a scratch" he lied poorly, as his face scrunched up in pain whilst talking.
"Last time I checked, scratches didn't involve five centimetre holes in your neck" Harry retorted condescendingly.
"And the pupil becomes the master" Michael replied sarcastically. Out of the blue, a howl rang out within the foggy cemetery and seven silhouettes surrounded them.
"Well. This isn't very fun is it" Michael said sardonically as he pulled himself off the ground. He took his silver dagger from its holster and motioned for Harry to do the same. Harry obeyed and glared at the approaching lycanthropes.
"Come and get us you filthy mutts" Harry snarled. Unfortunately, they agreed and came rushing towards Michael and Harry.
"Harry" Michael started "we can't do this. I want you to run"
"What. NO" Harry yelled, absolutely appalled by the idea.
"I want you to run. Promise me that you will" Michael pleaded 'Run. Don't look back"
"I don't want to leave. Let me stay" Harry begged, tears running down his face.
"Harry. The world needs you. You are the first male slayer. However that happened, it means you are destined for great things. Me. I'm just one man with nothing special about him what so ever. Most importantly, don't trust the council. You've been like the family I should of had. Now run" Michael cried as he pushed Harry away.
"Goodbye" Harry said with a blank face. Michael pulled out a lighter and started screaming at the wolves to get attention.
"Come at me you idiotic walking carpets" Michael jeered as he ran away from Harry. The wolves were mesmerised by the fire and chased after.
"Goodbye" Harry whispered as he saw Michael get tackled to the ground. Not being able to bear watching anymore, Harry ran. He ran all the way to their apartment. Feeling an ache inside he only felt when thinking about his parents, he walked to his bedroom. As he lay on the bed he broke into tears and cried himself to sleep.
AN: The chapters are gradually getting longer. Sorry the fight was so lame. I wanted to get this out before the end of the day. Next chapter will see Harry coping with the loss and preparing for the Hellmouth.
