Such a busy week for me. But I always have the time for writing/typing! I love stories. But anyways, I hope you look forward to this chapter! Got my first Mp3 player finally! It's so cool!
Warning: Contains a bit of mystery, male/male relationship, violence, just a little.
I do not own Inuyasha or Harry Potter, I only make up these stories!
Sesshomaru and Harry had made it back to the apartment and surprisingly didn't get many stares or glances from other people while they were walking. Although with the odd occurring moment that the demon felt someone watching him, he didn't seem to be attracting that much of attention like he was this morning. Making it up in the elevator, They waited patiently while Sesshomaru played with the buttons that were above the lit up button that they were headed for. Feeling slightly anxious of seeing his friends again, Harry tapped his foot against the elevator's carpeted floor and bit the bottom of his lip out of habit. He wasn't sure whose owl had dropped off the letter, only that he wanted to get to the old farm-like home that his long time best friend, Ronald, was living at. From what he had last heard from Ginny, their father had gone out over the seas of the muggle world and was researching the very simplest of sea creatures. The mother had been getting very friendly with Hermione's parents and had even invited them for a family dinner.
Expecting to stop on the floor he wanted, the doors opened and Harry was about to step out until Sesshomaru stopped him and pulled him back without giving him a reason why. Harry looked up while a few people got on the elevator with them and he saw that it was not their destined floor. Stepping back and trying to hide his face from such an embarrassing mistake, Harry shrunk to the back of the elevator, keeping a closer eye on the numbers that the elevator was passing by.
Harry could feel the strange pressure of patience was getting to Sesshomaru and he could not find any way on calming him down. Because Harry himself was also in an impatient mood and was dieing to get off the elevator and use his broomstick and invisibility cloak and see what Ginny was trying to explain to him. The people who had just gotten on, seemed to look a few years older then Harry. A man who had a full beard coming from his chin and going to the middle of his chest. The man looked to be between twenty-eight and thirty. The woman who stood next to him looked to be in her late thirties and was holding a bag with a small poodle inside, trying her best to hide the small animal. Harry knew it was against the rules for pets to be allowed in the building and then thought twice about Sesshomaru's actions and how it would affect the building's protocols.
Trying not to get them attracted towards Sesshomaru's tattoos or strange silver hair, Harry stood next to him so they would not look his way and try reporting him to be some kind of thug. The demon saw Harry standing next to him and smiled, not knowing the two other people on the elevator had been watching him this whole time. He draped his arm around Harry and held him close. Feeling the demon was making a scene and a fool of himself, Harry took Sesshomaru's arm off of his shoulder and gave the demon a hard look in the face.
"You know lady, there's no cats or dogs allowed in this place." Hearing the man in the elevator talking, Harry and Sesshomaru looked back at the bearded person.
"Rules have apparently been made to be broken. Just yesterday I've seen two people with dogs, coming and going. Don't start telling me that I should not be allowed with a pet of my own in here." The husky woman replied and turned her full attention to the elevator's numbers as it went up each floor.
Turning away from getting involved in such a small and un-noticeable problem, Harry and Sesshomaru exchanged glances but did not turn around again. The man and the woman had not spoken about anything else afterward and Harry and Sesshomaru were free from any strange tensions or small fighting that might have followed the small intentions that the bearded man might have had with the woman and her dog. The elevator stopped at Harry's floor and both him and Sesshomaru got off and headed down the hallway of the floor.
Harry got his set of keys out and began to look for the right one while Sesshomaru took one last look at the surroundings of the hallway before going with Harry wherever it was. Who knows, what if he wouldn't be able to come back? Sesshomaru didn't want to think about such a crude thought and blocked the thought away from coming back to his memory banks. Harry had a bit of confidence in finding his friend just as long as he didn't let his emotions get to him before hand. He remembered that he would not be alone and would get the help he needed with Sesshomaru, although he was still new at learning about Harry's first world, there was still another world for the demon to discover.
He was bound to make Ron and Ginny gawk in awe at the weird power he could use. Harry was not so sure the man would take a liking to having so many owls flying around him. From what Harry had heard before his and Ron's big argument, that Ron's mother and father had been storing owls for a while now only until they were old enough to go to their own homes in the wooded areas. The one to take them in had been Hermione's suggestion and responsibility with help from Ginny and Ginny's mother, Molly. The family of owls had been found by a construction worker who was taking a job to cut down a couple of trees. Hermione was the only one to stick up for the owls at this time and had done her research on zoos and felt they wouldn't enjoy the captivity as much as they would in the outdoors. So she took them to the only family she knew who were close with nature.
Heaving out a sigh of relief when he saw that his small owl had returned from a long and it was indeed, a very long journey, going to Neville's and then to Luna's home to deliver a few messages for Harry while he was busy with work. He wanted them to keep him updated on other news that might be going on while he was away from the witchery world that was awaiting his return. It was a reason Harry could not explain as to why he lived in the muggle world more than he would in the wizardry world. Thinking to himself as he went into the small apartment, Harry took the few letters from the small, brown owl's beak and left them on the night stand next to the bed.
Sesshomaru watched Harry pull a wooden stick with a bunch of straw stuck at the end of it and looked at the stick closely. Harry wondered what the man could be staring at and looked at his hand. Had he not really seen a broom stick in his own world? Letting the broom fall to the floor, Harry looked through his wooden trunk that he used to use when he was a kid, going to and from the Hogwarts school. It was a bit dusty from him not opening it as much as he used to. Harry found what he was looking for and pulled it out while carefully examining it to make sure it didn't have any scratches or splits in it. His wand seemed to give off a bit of a glow as Harry held it in his hand. He flicked his wand gently and muttered something under his breath as Sesshomaru watched in fascination. From mid-air, a blueberry muffin had popped up from out of nowhere and was sitting in the air, floating and waiting for someone to grab it. Harry smiled at the wand, knowing it was still able to be used and had no flaws in summoning the magic, he grabbed hold of the small but puffy muffin and took a bite out of it.
Harry gave the rest of the muffin to Sesshomaru while he put his wand inside his pocket and picked up his broomstick. It was time for him to see his friends after such a long time. Feeling a bit awkward for using his broom during a sunny day in a world that did not accept flying brooms, Harry beckoned for Sesshomaru to sit down on the floating broom that was sitting in the middle of the room, the front, aimed for the open window. He pulled his father's cloak out of the old chest and draped it around the demon's head first before putting it around his own body. Gripping the broom tightly, Harry kicked his feet off the ground, hearing a surprised grunt noise coming from Sesshomaru. It was definitely not an easy task having to keep a broom up in mid-air while holding onto a very slippery cloak that could fall off of them at any time. Although there was very little breeze coming up at them that might cause the cloak to blow away, there was the problem that a flock of birds might decide to head in their direction.
Sesshomaru kept squirming on his not so comfortable seat and kept trying to see how the broom was able to be in the air. It would be no different then if he were sitting on top of a large demon but this required a lot of leg muscle to keep up this act for so long. The tiny owl that had just arrived at Harry's apartment had now appeared beside them, flapping its wings tirelessly. Harry pulled the broom to a gentle stop as to not let the cloak fall off their heads and pulled an elastic out of his head that was used for putting up a ponytail. He grabbed hold of Sesshomaru's silvery and flowing hair with both hands and quickly gathered the hair together to make a pony tail at the back of the demon's head.
"What are you doing? We could fall and you're not scared?" The demon asked as Harry finished up with what he was doing and draped the long tail over the man's shoulder.
"It's a magic broom stick. We won't fall unless something knocks it down. Your hair's getting in my way and I can't see. And if I were to sit in front of you, you'd just do something weird to me while we're flying." Harry pushed the broom's handle downward and got the broom to fly again.
"You misunderstand me, Harry. I would never do something to make you upset. Plus, your friends are my friends too. If someone is on an important mission, you would not want to get in their way, right?" Sesshomaru smiled back at him while the small owl that had been following them, gave up in flying and had rested itself on Harry's broom at the very back.
"How very considerate of you." Harry replied as they passed over a few more houses before going over a couple of meadow-like areas that shaped the small hills.
