Chapter Four: In which Harry sees a horrible sight
The next day Adelicia was discussing with Desmond, it seems that Harry's magic managed to leak out a little so Adelicia thought that he should continue brewing two potions before switching to three that is if there would not be any change to Harry's magic, Harry was about to exit this room instead he went to eavesdrop.
"He should at least have entered a stitch into the dress I told him to fix," said Adelicia. "By the time he finishes that robe his powers will be back."
"but what has that got to do with us," said Desmond. "I mean you just helped him into the path where he could get his powers back but will he be able to break our curse, it looks like you are running out of time."
"I just cant force him to break this curse," said Adelicia. "If he plans to leave after his magic is back then I have no qualms about it… at least I have done something good in my state."
"But you must endure," said Desmond. "For your family's sake."
"I am trying, but day after day I grow weary," said Adelicia. "This life has no meaning, this curse is killing my soul, I'm scared, yet I'm ready."
"Ready to be a monster," said Desmond. "I have noticed that when Harry arrived here, you subconsciously started resisting the curse…could it be that you are starting to fall truly in love?"
"If only it were that simple," said Adelicia. "With the king and his search for royal sorcerer candidates, plus the Sorcerer of Vanfield, I'm on my toes."
Harry got out of his room having heard enough and then Adelicia and Desmond stopped talking and then Adelicia stood up from the seat right in front of the fire place.
"Harry you better get dressed, we are going on a visit," said Adelicia. "Food is already on the table."
Harry sat on the table and then Adelicia sat down as well, and then looked at a spell book, it belonged to Harry and then she looked at this, the spells were primitive, and they had to be spoken, and Adelicia could see that they needed a wand to magnify and focus their power, in conducting spells, though she didn't say a word, she just kept quiet.
Adelicia didn't tell Harry why there were no wizards in his dimension well before, but they had decided to stay here, as it was a wide space beautiful too, it was a peaceful and nice… that was why Adelicia chose to live in this place.
Harry was deep in thought at what he had heard, he felt bad for Desmond and Adelicia, sure Adelicia showed him how to break the dampener but then he wanted so much to break the curse, he wondered why Adelicia never spoke about it but then she's almost always out of the house or busy with potions and spells.
"Harry please eat, you have been staring at me for the past few minutes," said Adelicia.
Harry blinked and then started to eat and when he had finished he washed the plates and then headed to his room to get dressed Adelicia was now inspecting the batches Harry made, the first batches were sloppy but then Adelicia could see that Harry was getting better in his brewing, after few weeks of staying here, Adelicia looked satisfied, at the outcome, if Harry was getting better in his brewing then that meant that his magic was coming back.
Harry exited in his new suit and then Adelicia nodded at that and then went to the door and then opened it to the valley and then exited with Harry.
"We will walk there, the house is on top of the valley," said Adelicia. "they are sorcerers so it is best of you are in your best behavior."
Harry offered his arm and then Adelicia took it and then she started leading them towards the top of the hill and then Adelicia opened her umbrella on the way and then placed it on her shoulder as she waked, Harry noted that hse never changed her hair color, it stayed the lovely shade of brown, though the fashion sense and mannerisms of this dimension was a few eras past in London, Harry couldn't help but fit right in.
A large house loomed over and then Adelicia rang the doorbell and then a young woman opened it and then saw that it was Adelicia and a young man.
"Do come in," said the young woman.
Adelicia and Harry entered, Adelicia closed her umbrella and then hanged it beside the wall and then sat down, Harry did the same, a woman in her eighties appeared and then sat across them and then Adelicia nodded her head.
"Adelicia, it is nice to see you again," said the woman. "And who is this strapping young man?"
"May I introduce to you Harry James Potter," said Adelicia.
The old woman stared and then Harry looked at her with his green eyes, the woman's green eyes stared back at Harry.
"He cant be," said the old woman but then looked at those eyes, the eyes of her son. "But it is, you have my eyes."
Harry took a step back and then understood the story Adelicia told him when they were in the restaurant, that means he had lineage of being a sorcerer.
Harry looked at Adelicia who shrugged and then a cake was given to them and then Adelicia took the cake and then started to eat, the old woman looked at Harry and then started asking questions.
"So how is my Peter?" asked the woman.
"I wouldn't know, maam," said Harry. "All I know is my aunt, a Petunia Dursley nee Evans."
"So what about your mother how is she?" asked the lady.
"Deam, ma'am," said Harry. "Killed by voldemort… Lily was the only witch in her family."
"Couldn't blame her, I accidentally cracked her bottle and let a little of her magic out," said the woman. "but Adelicia took your sorcerer power with her, said that you might be needing it soon."
Harry stole a look at Adelicia who looked up from her cake and her face reddened at being caught red handed, and then continued to talk.
"So now that you have your magic without us braking your bottle what is it like to study in a magical school?" asked the old woman.
"Well, my life is constantly in danger," said Harry. "Well in first year there was the philosopher's stone, which I tried to not let Voldemort get it, next in my second year was the basilisk, I killed it but it almost killed me, third eyar was my uncle Sirius Black and that traitorous Rat peter Pettigrew."
"Yeah, we get the picture," said the lady, Adelicia just looked at Harry, it seemed that when he was in this hogwarts something would come and try to kill him.
Suddenly she felt like teaching Harry a few defensive spells that are of sorcerer level, but to do that she might just as well, learn all she could about the magical world thst Harry belonged into.
They spent the morning their with Harry getting to know his relatives, so far he had an eighty year old great grandmother a great aunt, and several cousins.

When they arrived home Harry tried to talk to Adelicia but Desmond got to her first.
"The king's messenger had been here twice," said Desmond.
"I think he's come for the boots," said Adelicia. 'I'll just have to deliver those boots to the king myself."
Adelicia turned the knob and then went to get the boots, and then entered the door and then closed it and then turned the dial to show the red color and then opened it. She turned to Harry who was at the foot of the steps wanting to talk to her.
"Harry we will talk to each other later," said Adelicia. "Much as I want to now but I can't keep pushing the king away forever, I hope this is a failure… that way I can get out of the list."
Adelicia closed the door and then headed to the street, Harry watched her leave until she had disappeared down the road and he closed it. He turned to Desmond who was trying to reach for a log, Harry went and then gave it to him.
"So Desmond, what were you talking about?" said Harry. "I heard you and Adelicia talking… come on spit it out."
"I cant tell you," said Desmond.
"Would you like me to throw water at you," said Harry threatening him, Desmond recoiled at that threat.
"If you drown me or kill me, Adelicia will die too, so I hope you know," said Desmond. "Besides, we cant talk about the contract it's forbidden."
"I don't want Adelicia to become a monster," said Harry. "But how can I break the curse if I don't know much about it."
"You already heard plenty," said Desmond. "all you need is to just piece them together."
"Even if you say that…" said Harry but then desmond raised up a thin fiery arm.
"Look, you're a wizard right?" said Desmond. "You can search the house for anything you want."
Harry sighed, he did search the house before and all he found were interesting objects, pieces of paper with scribbled notes about spells or potions.
Harry stopped looking to have his lunch but he looked up when some one knocked on the door; it was a lad from somewhere in Kingsport and he looked at him.
"Mister Sorcerer, for pity's sake!" he said. "I have to fight a duel at dawn tomorrow. Give me something to make sure I win. I'll pay any sum you ask!"
Harry looked over her shoulder at Desmond, and Desmond made faces back, meaning that there was no such thing ready-made.
"That wouldn't be right at all," Harry told the boy severely. "Besides, dueling is wrong."
"Then just give me something that lets me have a fair chance!" the lad said desperately.
Harry looked at him. He was very undersized and clearly in a great state of fear. He had that hopeless look a person has who always loses at everything.
"I'll see what I can do," Harry said. he walked over to the shelves and scanned the jars. The red one labeled Cayenne looked the most likely. Harry poured a generous heap of it on a square of paper. The young man was leaning anxiously round the door to watch. Harry took up a knife and made what he hoped would look like mystic passes over the heap of pepper.
"You are to make a fair fight," he mumbled. "A fair fight! Understand?"
He screwed the paper up and walked to the door with it.
"Throw this in the air when the duel starts," he told the undersized young man, "and it will give you the same chance as the other man. After that, whether you win or not depends on you."
The undersized young man was so grateful that he tried to give her a gold piece. Sophie refused to take it, so he gave her a two-penny bit instead and went away, whistling happily.
"I feel a fraud," Harry said as he stowed the money. "But I would like to be there at that fight!"
"So would I!" crackled Desmond.

That afternoon Adelicia arrived with a look on her face Harry feared that something bad had happened to Adelicia and then he watched as she headed up the stairs into the kitchen.
"Is something the matter?" Harry asked.
"There is," said Adelicia. "I shall have to find someone to blacken my name to the King."
"Was there something wrong with the spell?" said Harry.
"No. It worked perfectly. That's the trouble," Adelicia said. "The King's trying to pin me down to do something else now. If we're not very careful, he's going to appoint me Royal Magician."
"Wouldn't that be great, "said Desmond.
"Complete opposite, I want my freedom thanks," said Adelicia.
"Why don't you talk to the king?" asked Harry.
"What?" asked Adelicia.
"Talk to the king, see him, explain why you don't want the position," said Harry.
"Even if I tell him…" said Adelicia but stopped and then turned to look at Harry. "I've got it, you could blacken my name to the king, You could be my brother and tell the king how lazy I am, tomorrow I'm going to have to report to the king for battle assignments you're going to go in my place."
"I…huh?" asked Harry completely puzzled at the turn of events.

Next day Adelicia was fixing Harry up and then telling him what to say to blacken her name and then she slipped a ring into his forefinger.
"This is to ensure your safe return," said Adelicia. "I will follow you but in a disguise."
Harry got out of the door and then Adelicia handed Harry a map to the castle and then closed the door and then Harry continued to the gate as he was walking, a carriage went along beside him Harry saw that the one bringing the carriage were two birdlike men, Harry knew this was the sorcerer of Vanfield; the window opened and then a man's peaked out from the window.
"Why if it isn't the boy who allowed me to seal his powers to save himself," said the sorcerer. "Thank you for delivering my scorching love note… how is Adelicia by the way?"
"Fine as ever," said Harry. "She tires me, all I do is work, work, work."
"Delightful," said the sorcerer. "What are you doing at the palace?"
"Job hunting, I'm tired of working for her," said Harry.
They both entered the gates of the castle and then suddenly those birdlike creatures started sto go down and then they fell to the ground, Harry looked at the bird men and then the sorcerer looked at his henchmen.
"What happened to you two?" asked the sorcerer.
"I'm sorry sir, but vehicles are not allowed beyond this point," said the guard and then the sorcerer huffed and then exited the carriage Harry had to cover his eyes as the clothes of the sorcerer's clothes seemed to reflect, like it was gold.
They headed up the grand stair case and then in a matter of minutes they entered the lobby, where dozens of sorcerers were there waiting.
Harry wondered around not knowing how he will blacken Adelicia's name to the king, when suddenly the windows and doors slammed shut trapping the sorcerers in, the sorcerers were alarmed and then looked around, not knowing what would happen they looked around on guard.
'Harry, close your eyes and cover your ears, NOW,' shouted a voice inside Harry's head and then Harry did just that.
He could barely register people screaming in shock and then Harry was pushed to the ground by someone yet he closed his eyes and covered his ears, there was chaos inside the hall and then once it was subsided, Harry remained where he was.
'It's okay Harry you can look,' said the voice that had warned Harry.
He opened his eyes and then looked up hordes of sorcerers were on the floor the window as were uncovered but the door was still locked, but something wasn't right they were monsters, a man was sitting on throne looking smugly at the scores of human-turned-monsters below he was sitting cross legged and his cheek was resting on his fist whose elbow was on the arm rest.
"I must say, royal sorcerer," said the king. "I take all my doubts back, now all the sorcerers are in my command to fight Ariamale for kidnapping my daughter."
"Thank you, your majesty," said the royal sorcerer.
The king sat up as he noticed Harry and then he pointed at him.
"There's someone who didn't fall under your spell royal sorcerer, who is that boy?" asked the king.
The Royal Sorcerer looked and then glared, it was a boy with no magic at all, Harry had a look of horror in his face and then the royal sorcerer turned to the king.
"A boy of no consequence, my lord," said the sorcerer.
"Then kill him, he might be a spy for Ariamale," said the king.
The sorcerer raised his hand but suddenly the window broke and Adelicia in her bird form crashed though and then landed in front of Harry and then deflected the bow changing back into a human.
"Adelicia," said the king. "It's great to see you again."
"Your Majesty," said Adelicia bowing and looking at the graying, balding king sitting on the throne. "I kept my promise, I reported when summoned… Now my brother and I will be leaving."
"Not so fast, are you not going to help fight in this war?" asked the king.
"no, your majesty, this is a nonsensical war," said Adelicia and then turned to look at her poor fellow sorcerers. "I would never become ugly to fight a war."
"If you will not serve me then I will strip you of your powers, Royal sorcerer," said the king.
The sorcerer stamped his staff and then the windows closed and then water issued from his staff, Adelicia held on to Harry and then the illusion changed that they were in midair.
"Whatever you do, do not look down Harry," said Adelicia.
Suddenly starts started falling down and then hitting them, they formed bodies and then started to dance around them, Adelicia knew this ritual and then she glared at the king and at the Royal sorcerer, she started to become a bird and just as the sorcerer throw his staff, she grabbed Harry and then crashed through another window, flapping away carrying Harry she flew behind.
She landed in the forest and then snapped her fingers, letting an illusion of her carrying Harry fly from the forest and fly away, the chasers in the air patrol followed the illusion like crazy and then she leaned back and then closed her eyes and then concentrated on changing back to a human.
"Desmond's right, you shouldn't be changing into a bird anymore, if you are having difficulty changing back," said Harry.
Adelicia leaned forward and then lifted her head to look at Harry and then gave a small smile.
"I'll be fine Harry, you shouldn't worry about me," said Adelicia. "You should concentrate more on breaking your own curse."
"But I cant just leave you like this," said Harry.
"Just don't worry about me Harry," said Adelicia. "I can tolerate this curse a while longer, I must help you break that curse."
Adelicia leaned back and then placed her head on the trunk and then looked at the sky.
"We will wait for nighttime before we return home, until then, we just have to wait here and hope we don't get caught," said Adelicia.
"So what will happen to you?" asked Harry. "Now that you went against the king, what are you going to do."
"Move, I guess," said Adelicia as she closed her eyes. "I have been doing for the past years… if something bad happens to me."
Harry looked at Adelicia, she was a slitherer-outer she was, a very sly person if she put her mind to it, though to many people they might call her queer but Harry was slowly growing fond of her, even if they would disagree on certain parts.
"So how about you," said harry.
Adelicia opened her eyes and stared at Harry with her hazel eyes.
"What about me?" she asked.
"Well, you do know about me, but I don't know about you, all I know is that you live here, where is your family?" asked Harry.
"In New York City," said Adelicia. "Yes, I was born into your world too, I kept having magical outbursts and my grandfather took me in, he is also a sorcerer, he enrolled me in the sorcerer's academy, as well as high school in America, I have a twin sister but she doesn't have magical powers like me as well as a little sister, you could say I used to be the sensible twin, that is until I moved away, after I received the pact between Desmond and I, I'm still going to high school, and I do visit my family, it was difficult at first, studying in the school then crossing dimensions to study sorcery and then go back for school, sometimes I fell asleep in class, and I had to do the spells in my own room, living a double life of both sorcerer's apprentice and a high school student was stressful but I graduated early from the sorcerer's academy the youngest of my class to be awarded the highest place, and then I met Desmond and then that's all… you know the rest."
"Wonder what it feels having a little sister," said Harry.
"Virginia, she's a pest literally," said Adelicia. "This is but one of the advantages why I moved away."
Adelicia leaned back and then looked at the sky and then watched as the men few over their heads and then she placed an invisibility charm around them and then looked at Harry.
"What are you thinking now?" asked Adelicia.
"Why did you accept this curse when you have a family?" asked Harry.
"It's a really long story," said Adelicia. "I can't tell you, as well."
"Because of the contract?" asked Harry.
"Yes, because of that," said Adelicia.
"Damn, I'm beginning to hate that word," said Harry sitting beside Adelicia.
"Maybe, but people who have curses cannot tell anyone that they are cursed," said Adelicia. "Even if they wanted to tell others the curse will refuse... that is why we were trained to look for traces of curses on people."
"Nice," said Harry. "You know it was nice to have this talk."
"Yeah, I guess," said Adelicia. "Now please let me rest, I need as much energy I can get for us to head home."
Harry nodded and then leaned back and then closed his eyes as he fell asleep, Adelicia turned to Harry and then shook her head and then looked at the innocent face of ahrry and then she slowly removed the hairs that were scattered on Harry's face.
"What I would do with you," said Adelicia. "you are way too trusting, every time you sleep you lower your guard."
With that she too closed her eyes and then dozed off.

It was about midnight when Adelicia woke Harry up he stretched and then several of his bones creaked and then turned to look at Adelicia.
"It's time," said Adelicia softly.
Harry stood up and then Adelicia turned into a bird and then harry looked at Adelicia.
"Get on my back Harry, that way I can fly us both home," said Adelicia.
Harry climbed on and then Adelicia flew away, Harry remembered the time he rode buckbeak and then it was nice to have the wind through his hair again, but suddenly Adelicia slowed the pace.
"It seems that Airamale has started another air raid at Kingsport," said Adelicia. "Maneuvering through the planes will be a difficult task."
Adelicia dived and then Harry gripped the neck and then Adelicia turned sharply to the left as she dodged bullets and then swerved left then right going in between two planes and then continued flying.
She ascended when she found that there were more planes and then continued on that height and then dived when she caught a glimpse of the castle and then slowly she landed and then the castle stopped moving and then Harry entered and then Adelicia followed.
She entered and then closed the door she went to the dial and then ripped out the red blob of color and then threw it at Desmond who ate it.
"I take it we're moving then," said Desmond.
"Of course," said Adelicia. "I certainly don't want to work for a king who forcibly turned his subjects into monsters."
Harry went to cook dinner and then Adelicia went to help.
"So Harry do you have any plans on moving," said Adelicia.
"Well, we could keep the blue on," said Harry.
"I don't think so," said Adelicia. "I tend to look for new places when I move."
Harry didn't know what to think he needed to see a map before he could decide on a place but the Adelicia finished her job and then Harry placed the food on the table and then they started to eat a very late dinner.

Meanwhile, in Kingsport the royal sorcerer and a few guards burst through the house that belonged to Adelicia but all they found was a totally vacant house with no floors, stais or anything, the only thing left there were walls.
The sorcerer glared at the place and then stamped his staff and then disappeared into the night.
Adelicia finished her food and then gave the scraps to Desmond who ate it and Harry did the same, but Took Adelicia's plate as she placed it on the edge of the plate and then watched as Adelicia stopped and then turned to Desmond.
"Desmond, please heat up water for my bath," said Adelicia.
"Fine," said Desmond.
"Thank you," Said Adelicia.
Harry also decided that a bath would be great too, so he entered his room, tomorrow they were going to talk abtou the moving business, since it was already midnight, Harry could see that the war was escalating, though he didn't know why Adelicia dind't want to participate on this war… maybe it was in her nature to hate unplesantries… as she had demonstrated in all their fights.
After Harry's bath he dressed up in his nightclothes and then went to his bed and then fell asleep.
