AN: Hey y'all, couple things. 1) I'm going to be adding a chapter in between 1 & 2 to kinda give a little background to the wizarding world including why he did not get his letter and why no one is looking for him. Just to name a few questions I've had. 2) Once the rewrites are posted I'm going to give an AN with the update saying REWRITTEN. I have not yet posted one. The person helping me hasn't sent back chapter 1 yet so it's going to be a bit I think. Or she could send it tomorrow. Who knows! I haven't given her a deadline. 3) I want to know what y'all think about maybe this becoming a creature fic or having some animagus attributes show through the human. Review and let me know! I appreciate all the critics because I think this is going to make a much more enjoyable story than what I have given you already. Without any further ado...

Chapter 10

"Luuucci, I'm hooome!" Harry hissed upon arriving home from his first day of school. Ever since watching those episodes of I Love Lucy with Kat, he couldn't find anyway better to greet his new house guest once he got home.

Harry had come to really enjoy his little cottage. Everything had a place and it made everything that much cozier. He slung his messenger bag on the stand by the door and went to find Lucifer. He walked into his living room, putting his helmet on the coffee table, and he found Luci curled up on his eternally warm stone.

"Hello ssssnack, how wasss the sssocialissing? I don't undersstand why you musst go there to learn. You ssseem to be learning jussst fine under my tutelage." Luci said as he raised his large head to stare at Harry from under his ferns that decorated his throne, as he had come to think of it.

"Yesss we had that dissscusssion but I want to learn everything I can. There'sss many thingsss that I can learn from ssschool that you probably don't know about. I do need to make a living to keep you happy, your majesssty." Harry replied as he rolled his eyes. He and Luci had a long previous discussion about why he had to go to school. Luci had been under the assumption that he knew everything that Harry would need to get through life and that Harry would just learn from him and serve him dutifully as his servant. Needless to say, Luci was not pleased when Harry told him that he was going and there was nothing he could do about it. From any outsider looking in though it would be kind of funny to see a person having a full on argument with a large snake and seeing said snake slither off as if throwing a temper tantrum. He was still a little miffed from losing that argument.

"Well tell me what you learned today lil' bit that wassss oh sso important?" Luci hissed with a pointed look.

"Today wasss more of an orientation but I did disscover sssomething interessting that maybe you could tell me about. Today at lunch I wasss ssitting next to Edward Cullen and I got thiss really intensse feeling of jealoussy or territorial you know and before I knew what happened, my vission went red. Literally, red. Except for Edward, he wass the mosst beautiful white in a sssea of red. What do you think?" Harry asked, genuinely puzzled.

"I'm not certain but I think I know a way to find out. It'sss gonna take sssome time but I sshould have ssome ansswer for you sssoon, I do know that he iss sssomeone of great importance to you in thiss life and the next. I would keep him closse." Lucifer replied.

"Hmm I think you may be right. I definitely don't mind getting clossser to him and hiss family. They're different from the othersss in thiss town. It'sss almosst like everyone elsse is below them, not becausse they're snobby but almosst like a cat payss attention to antss. They're there and they may get noticed but they're just ssso far beyond all that. It's almost angelic." At least Edward certainly seemed like an angel to him.

"Ssseemsss like sssomeone hass a crusssh. I'm going hunting ssince ssomeone forgot my requesst thiss morning." Luci said as he slithered away from Harry towards the door.

"I didn't forget, I got you the biggessst rat they had." Harry replied as he retrieved said rat from his messenger bag by the door. He was extremely grateful that had learned that expanding trick. His messenger bag had become kind of his own home away from home. He had yet to find a limit to the expansion but he had also run out of items that he could put in it. He had tested the limits one day and found that he would never need to have anyone help him move again. Everything he owned fit inside including his couch, bed, dishes, motorcycle, and he even had put Luci in there although he didn't like it very much. He hadn't gotten the nerve to try it himself. He grabbed the box it was in and put down by his roommate and left for the kitchen for a bite. If there was one thing he didn't like, it was watching Luci eat his dinner.

He was about halfway to the kitchen when he heard Luci muttering something about tasty morsel and how he was so looking forward to the big, fat, and juicy bite when he heard a knock on his door.

He took one look at Luci who had his mouth wrapped halfway around his dinner and took off towards the door.

He braced himself for the few people he knew that it could have been at his door. He was not prepared for the older gentleman who stood there. He was rather tall at a respectful 6'2". He could tell he had been a looker in his youth. His wavy hair was about shoulder length in a beautiful shade of silver. He was wearing a long leather trench coat with some vintage looking clothes underneath complete with vest. The most notable thing though was his blue eyes. They held so much wisdom and power that Harry could feel radiating from this man. He was a little baffled at what he felt that his own skin started radiating as well.

"Hello, can I help you?" Harry asked warily. He didn't know what this man wanted but he knew already not to piss this man off.

"Hello Mr. Potter. No, you can't help me but I believe that I could help you. I'm Andrew Dig'll. Won't you invite me in? I do think that we have much to discuss you and I." Andrew supplied and pushed past Harry and began to make himself at home.

"I'm sorry but what? What do you mean you can help me? Who the hell are you?" Harry said alarmed as this man walked into his living room and plopped down on his couch. He didn't want to offend him but at the same time, he just barged into his home.

"The question Mr. Potter is not who I am but rather who you are. You're life has been hidden from you. I'm here to give it back to you. I've seen that you've discovered some of it by accident on your own. I'm here to make you great. I'm here to help you conquer. I'm here to put the world in your hands. Now why don't you make some tea, we have much to discuss." He finished with a sense of finality making sure Harry did what he said with a look.

Harry went to head towards the kitchen completely bewildered when he heard Mr. Dig'll go "ah ah". Wondering what now, he turned towards him with a questioning look on his face.

"I want you to use your magic Mr. Potter. And spare me the 'I don't know what you're talking about' crap. I've been watching you." Andrew said with a knowing look.

Now completely on edge, Harry turned and waved his hands and his kitchen got to work. The kettle flew to the stove after filling itself in the sink. A fire magically lit on the stove and five minutes later a tea tray came floating into the living room in front of Mr. Dig'll.

"Absolutely beautiful. I knew there was power in you but the shear amount is intoxicating. Please have a seat. We're going to have a very long evening." he said in awe.

Andrew started telling Harry all about the wizarding world and the wars of the past century. He explained about the light side and the dark side. He explained about Grindelwald and Voldemort and Dumbledore. He explained all the schools and especially Hogwarts which Harry should have attended. Harry kept trying to interrupt Mr. Dig'll but he would just give his "ah ah" and push on towards the next part of his story. He then got to the part where a baby no older than a year vanquished Voldemort and how the wizarding world rejoiced at his downfall. Albus had explained to everyone that Neville Longbottom was the boy-who-lived as he had a giant scar on his chest from the failed Avada Kedavra. Lily and James had been watching Neville ever since Bellatrix had driven his parents to insanity. He never mentioned anything on whether Harry had lived or died. He simply sent him off to his relatives and never thought of him again. Rumors began flying almost instantaneously trying to flush out what had happened but no one for sure knew about the young Potter boy. The only thing that anyone knew was that Albus Dumbledore had taken the boy-who-lived under his wing and that he must be taken care of, so the world rejoiced. A few years later, Albus came out saying that Harry Potter had died from dragon pox tragically. Sadly, the wizarding world didn't care about an orphan boy of no remarkable talents. As long as they had the boy-who-lived, they were safe and happy. Only a select few even cared about his death.

"But I'm not dead!" Harry exclaimed. His head was spinning. Things were not adding up. He had just found out he was a wizard and his life had been mysteriously erased from a world he clearly belonged to. He didn't know much about this Albus Dumbledore but he already couldn't stand him. In fact, he would venture to say that he despised him. Who was he to decide how his life was to end up? Why claim he had died? He now had more questions than answers into his powers and life than he ever thought he would have. "Who the fuck does this guy think he is?"

"Patience Harry. I know you are full of questions and I understand that I haven't given you any insight as to why this has happened. I believe I have some of the answers but I need you to fill in some gaps for me. Why don't we call it a night, sleep on it and maybe make some better sense out of this tomorrow?" Andrew supplied as he looked at the clock and saw that it was already 1:15am.

"Can you answer me one question before I go to bed. Why tell me? Why does this have anything to do with you?" Harry asked.

"Because once I recognized who you were, I understood a bit more about your past. I had thought you died but now I see you are just another pawn in the great fool's game. I felt you needed someone with knowledge in your corner if they are to help you reclaim your place in our world. I feel much potential in your magic, much more than anything I have ever felt in the boy-who-lived. It's intoxicating and I find myself wondering if I'm looking at the future of the wizarding world. Sleep Harry, we will talk more tomorrow and figure this out together." And with that Andrew Dig'll disappeared right before his eyes.

"Well Luci, looks like I've got a lot to learn."

It wasn't five minutes later that Luci found Harry blissfully asleep and unaware of the rest of the world. He slithered up the bed and curled around his arm and into his chest and with a quick snakey kiss to his cheek he too found his way to the dream world. He would never admit that he had come to care deeply for his human.
