A/N: Sorry about the delay guys. There are several good reasons as to why I was unable to upload quicker. For starters, I recently reinstalled the sims and I had forgotten how fun it was and I have been spending a lot of time playing it. Secondly, I was having trouble thinking up a new name for Harry. Luckily, Sonnenfrost suggested a few names to me and I have picked one of his or hers. Anyways I feel I've bored you enough.
Sheik
Sheik was dressed like a muggle and was currently wandering the streets of muggle London. He did keep his face covered as usual by wearing a scarf over it and his pointed ears were covered by a hat. The only reason he was even bothering to venture out into the muggle world was because of a prophecy.
About a week ago, the tribe's prophet made a prophecy. The entire tribe gathered around her as her eyes became clouded and she spoke with a deep, ominous voice. It was a strange prophecy. It spoke of a young boy who abandoned his neglectful family and now rested somewhere in muggle London. Apparently this boy would bring balance to the magical world and it was Sheik's mission to go and find the poor child.
So now here he was. He knew this child would have a strong magical ability and that was how Sheik was choosing to track the young boy. Sheik had the ability to see auras when he wished. He was able to follow the aura and was led to The Leaky Cauldron. However, that was not where it was coming from. The power was emanating from an abandoned apartment building a few doors down from The Leaky Cauldron. Sheik followed it into the building and up a few floors until he reached a door. He slowly opened it and found a small, thin and young looking boy curled up on the old mouldy bed. Beside the bed were a backpack, umbrella and a few bits of uneaten food.
Sheik slowly approached the child. He had messy black hair that seemed to defy gravity itself. He had a small and bony frame. It was far too thin for a kid his age. (A/N: I forgot to mention this, but Harry is currently eight.) Sheik gently placed his hand on the side of the poor child's face. The boy's eyes snapped open and suddenly Sheik was staring into emerald eyes. The boy screamed and scrambled backwards until he fell off the bed.
"Child, calm yourself. I will not hurt you." Sheik begged as the boy sat up and looked at Sheik with wide and fearful eyes. "Don't worry child. I am here to help you." He said in what he hoped was a reassuring voice. The child slowly relaxed.
"Who are you and why do you want to help me?" The child said nervously. He was unused to people actually being kind to him. Sheik pulled down his scarf and smiled at the small boy. He held his arms out as if asking for a hug.
"My name is Sheik and I'm here to give you a better life. It surely cannot be fun living like this. If you wish to, and I do hope you say yes, you can come live with me and my tribe." He said. The boy looked up at him with hope shining in his emerald eyes. He fidgeted with his fingers a bit.
"You really want me to come live with you?" The boy asked with a smile. "I don't want to be a bother." Sheik laughed a little and crouched down to the child's height. He rested his hand upon the boy's shoulder.
"I would love it if you came to live with us…" Sheik paused. He didn't know his name. The boy giggled at Sheik.
"My name is Harry. Harry Potter." Harry said. Sheik smiled. He pulled Harry into a hug. The boy was so adorable and precious that Sheik never wanted to let him go.
"Well Harry Potter, gather your things and we can go right away." With those words being said, Harry rushed to gather his blankets and books and shoved it all into his backpack. When he was finished, Sheik picked him up and pulled a deku nut out of his pocket. He threw it upon the ground and suddenly the two were in a quaint little village in the woods. All the Sheikah in the village stopped what they were doing and looked at the two
Sheik remained indifferent and continued walking towards a small house near the edge of the village. He led Harry inside the small house. Harry looked around the house with a small smile.
"Is this your house Sheik?" Harry asked. Sheik smiled and nodded. "Wait, does this mean I get to live with you?" Sheik was amused by Harry's antics and proceeded to lead Harry down a hallway and opened the door at the end.
"This will be your bedroom. Feel free to make yourself at home. I need to go change out of these clothes. Sheik left Harry to his own devices and proceeded to put back on his blue bodysuit. (He looks exactly like OoT Sheik.) Once his regular outfit was on, he went back to Harry's room and slowly knocked on the door. When he walked in, he was greeted with the sight of Harry putting what clothing he had into drawers.
"Woah, Sheik you look different. I mean, it's not bad or anything…" Harry said, quickly trying to fix what he thought was a mistake. Sheik smiled and ruffled the boy's hair.
"No worries Harry. This is actually how I dress every day. Maybe one day, you will too." He said with a grin. Harry smiled. He had not even spent a full day in Sheik's presence and he was already beginning to like it more than at the Potter's. He really liked Sheik and was already starting to think of him as the father he never really had. "Alright so let's go get you cleaned up and then we can have dinner okay?"
Sheik led Harry out of the house and through the woods until they came upon a hot spring. There were several fairies floating around the spring which gave it a magical look.
"This is where everyone in the village bathes. It's nice and warm and the fairies have healing powers that can help heal any injuries you might have." Sheik said as he began helping Harry out of his clothes. Once Harry had fully stripped, much to his embarrassment, he slowly lowered himself in the pool and began to clean himself while the fairies healed all his bruises. After Harry was all cleaned, Sheik helped him back into his clothing and picked up the small six year old.
As Sheik led them back to the village, Harry asked, "Sheik, why are your eye's red?" Sheik laughed. Red eyes would not have been typical where Harry had previously lived.
"My eyes are red because I am a Sheikah. We all have red eyes. It helps us see the truth. Do you see the strange symbol on my chest? That is the eye of truth. We Sheikah can see the truth in everything. Do you get it?" Sheik said. Harry had been listening avidly, nodding at every other sentence.
"Will I be able to do that one day?" He asked with curiosity. Sheik chuckled lightly. Harry thought it was a pretty cool power to be able to see the truth.
"If I blood adopt you, then yes you will gain this power." Sheik made it back to the village and brought Harry back to his house. He showed Harry around and by that time, it was dinner. Sheik prepared a simple dinner of beans and beef. Harry wolfed it all down and when he was finished, his eyes were starting to droop. "Are you tired Harry?" The small boy nodded and Sheik picked him up. He carried Harry all the way to his room and tucked him in. By the time he was finished, Harry was already fast asleep.
Sheik decided to go get some rest as well. He pulled off his clothing and slept in his undergarments. He reflected back on the day as he usually did. In a matter of days, he would most likely blood adopt Harry. That way, Harry would be a true member of the tribe. Now Sheik had to think of several names and pick from the ones he thought of. So that was what he did the majority of the night.
When morning came, Sheik dressed himself and went to check on Harry. Sheik, as well as the rest of the tribe, woke up at the crack of dawn. He knew Harry would still be asleep. When he walked into the room, he was surprised to find Harry, fully clothed and writing a letter on some parchment with a quill and ink.
"You're awake?" Sheik asked as he walked in the room and took a seat next to Harry. He noticed that the letter was addressed to someone named Drew. "Who are you writing to Harry?"
"I'm writing to my brother Drew. When I ran away, I promised to keep in contact with him. Is it okay if I write while I'm here?" Sheik looked at the letter and nodded. It was good that Harry continued to have a good relationship with someone from his old family.
"It is perfectly okay if you want to write to him, but I'm afraid he will not be allowed to visit. We try to remain a secret to the outside world." Sheik said. He watched Harry's face drop and saw the tears well up in his eyes. "Don't worry Harry. In time you will see your brother again. I do think it's okay if you send pictures along with your letters. Is that okay with you?" Harry's face lit back up and he nodded. He was just afraid he would never see Drew again.
"That's fine with me. So what are we doing today?" Harry asked as he put his letter down. Sheik picked him up and carried him to the kitchen where he began preparing breakfast.
"For starters, we are going to introduce you to everyone in the tribe. Then after, if it's okay with you that is, I was thinking I could blood adopt you. You don't have to though. I'm not trying to rush you into anything. We can wait a few days if you want. Or not do it all." Sheik said nervously. He didn't want to scare Harry off. It was just better if Harry started training sooner rather than later. He slowly turned to look at Harry. He was relieved when he saw that he was grinning from ear to ear.
"I would like that a lot." Harry said. After they finished their breakfast, Harry began his first true day in the Sheikah village.
