Harry rocked Teddy in his arms lightly as he picked up their luggage from the airport in Japan.
it was rather late in Japan but he wasnt very tired,although the little bundle in his arms was snoozing contentedly.
he called a taxi and managed to get them to a hotel for the night.
once in their room,he put Teddy in the little cot for babies and toddlers and got ready for bed.
once he was ready he went to the bathroom to practice his transformation. the goblins said he needed to do so every twentyfour hours if he could,to et into the swing of it and so that it doesnt happen unexpectedly.
he stood in front of the mirror and transdormed into his LD form and then back. everytime he did he felt like a lost piece of himself was restored.
his being an LD was the one thing he hadnt told the Weasleys about,he didnt want them to think of him like a werewolf. he knew they wouldnt hate him or anything,but they'd look at him like he had a disease and was to be pitied for it. they'd looked at Remus like that sometimes.
once he finished practicing he went to bed.
the next day he managed to get a small apartment for himself and Teddy until he could work everything out with his family.
and wasnt that a weird thought?
he had called Mari to tell her and the other elves that he wasnt ready for them to come with all his stuff yet,but once he really got settled into an actual house he'd call them.
after the movers unloaded the last of his 'muggle' things,him having moved country with minimal magical use,he started to unpack the basic things he and Teddy would need.
it took a while. thank goodness he'd delivered Teddy to a nursery or 'day care' before starting,otherwise the little ball of joy wouldnt have been in a very good mood having not gotten very much attention from Harry. but he should be fine at nursery.
three days later,and Harry and Teddy were on their first trip into the town that Harry was born in.
he'd actually started to go by the name Hotaru,but he just changed his last name to Kuromaru instead of Potter.
so Hotaru and his godson were on their way to Hisoka-mura.
their first stop? the nature preserve hiking trail on the mountain.
