Black Phoenix Mother chapter 3.

It had been about three months since Harry Potter had moved out of the family mansion and was living in his secluded barn with his friends, but the mansion was hardly a beacon of light or happiness for Harry. With all the beatings and rantings that the family and Devin had caused on Harry was it any wonder why the poor boy left? To any normal family it was permissible.

Harry had had found different ways of sneaking into the mansion without being detected to his family, by means of secret passageways. He enjoyed every bit of it and he also been playing tricks on his brother Devin who was none the wiser.

Harry had just retuned to the barn when his mother appeared " Harry my son." she outstretched her arms and he flung himself at her holding her close burring his face into her black gown. He smiled and she led him inside while his friends where playing. "mother why have you come? "Harry said "a lot of things Harry I have a few errands to run tonight and would you like to come with me?" Harry looked up at her and smiled nodding quickly.

She lifted him up holding him close and both of them disappeared in a poof of silver smoke.

Devin Potter the brat who lived was fuming still over what had happened three months ago it was not like he actually liked his brother Harry. He was reviling in the joy of being a savior to the world even if he was a brat and an insolent rat of a child. Yet the whole wizarding world loved him. The gifts he got every year was enough to make Devin grin with envy. His mother had just him a new raceing broom while his father bought him trick magic wands until he would finally go to diagon ally and finally buy his own. " we shall see brother of mine just who is the better of us." he whispered, jumping off the bed and running into the living room turning on the TV to watch a new show that was on.

Harry and his mother had just appeared into quite the strangest yet beautiful place he had ever seen, "Welcome Harry to Mistwood" she said putting him down so Harry could walk, he looked around the place was very different than most wizard shops he had seen. Black Phoenix took his hand dragging into the street. She leaned down whispering no one here knows you Harry, and I would like it to stay that way for a time, keep close and don't wander off. Harry nodded she stood up just as she did two people came up to them.

"Black Dragon." Black Phoenix looked up and saw the two people she did not want to come over. "Red Fox." Harry was in complete puzzlement over the people. don't these people ever just call themselves by names? he looked up as his mother was talking to the lady with red hair and a bejeweled red dress and cloak, and a fat young girl with silver eyes and dark red hair.

"well well It has been sometime since we have seen you here Black Dragon, what the other realms not good enough for you now?" cackled the greedy woman as her child smirked darkly. Harry shivered at the laugh the woman gave huddling close to his mother as he could see the daggers in her eye.

Black Phoenix glared at Red Fox, looking down at her hotheaded daughter, than spoke. " I have not come here to gloat, I came here merely for my cousin young Dark Fang." at this Harry looked at his mother who spoke his secret name and smiled but saw the rude girl come up to him willing to speak to him. "not talkative are you boy?" Black Phoenix looked down at the girl "Dark Fang knows when to speak and when he is to behave, your mother needs to install that in you Red Claw."

" If you will excuse me I must get going I have much to do" with that Black Phoenix walked off Harry right in toe. She swore she heard Red Fox say "rat" but she shrugged it off and continued to her destination.

"Mother who was that?" Harry asked "Red Fox is a sorceress who deals in black magic, she uses people to get what she wants, she is training her daughter in the skill as well." I see" said Harry " Promise me Harry you will never deal in such forbidden magic."

" Mother I promise I wont." he said but in the back of Harry's head he was thinking of killing his brother with such power if he could only lay his hands on it. But he snapped out of his vision and followed his mother inside a little shop.

"Cobblestone." she called a tiny old elf slid down a long latter filled with books. "Black Phoenix!" He ran up to her taking her hand and kissing it . Harry giggled "go on Harry have some fun." she released his hand and Harry went wild. The little elf looked over at the boy. " your son?" " yes Cobblestone." he led the lady to the counter asking her what was her pleasure. She pointed and he gift wrapped the purchases. "Harry darling come along." she called.

"Mother these books are wonderful!" he called as he nearly ran into her. " yes my son but we have a lot more places to visit here" "keep them" said cobblestone "really?" the little elf nodded causing Harry to run up and hug him.

His mother giggled " very affectionate son you have." " I have taught him well." she said " come on Harry " Goodbye, Cobblestone." called Harry as he took his mothers hand once more and they left.

The little elf waved and whispered " goodbye Harry Potter boy who lived."
