Yuri stared at the entrance of their destination, totally flabbergasted. If he were to asked, what was his plan for the weekend, he would probably reply with his usual answer. Baseball. Or hang out with Murata, because half of that time involves him communing to his kingdom. It never crosses his mind that he'll be spending his weekend at... well... there.

When Bob suggested that they should take a weekend worth of exotic vacation to... have some fun and bond, he; Yuri Shibuya – a normal boy of Tokyo and King of the Demon Realm – never once would have expected it will be this exotic!

Thus found him, and his entourage, staring wide eyed, blinking and gaping at their surroundings. Okay, he did the blinking and the gaping; his retainers did their look around in appreciation.

"You've got to be joking!" Yuri exclaimed as he rounded to Murata. "When I agree to some weekend worth of excitement – I don't mean this grand scale of excitement!" Yuri turned back looking at his surroundings, feeling lightheaded. "this... this is a little overboard..." Yuri trailed lamely.

By this, Yuri was referring to their location, and that is the Tokyo Disneyland, staring back at them in all its magnificent glory and splendour.

"Well, we told you we are going to a theme park, Yuu-chan. What better way than this theme park," Jennifer gushed excitedly. Her eyes alight with anticipation for all the fun things they could discover and do together.

Murata's hand push against his glasses' frame and it obscured his eyes mysteriously. "Oh come now, Shibuya, It's not like you can't afford it. Your family are all well off for goodness sake!"

Yuri groaned, his hand pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. "Yes, but Disney? I know we live comfortably but this is a little bit expensive and extravagant, don't you think?"

"Over indulging once or twice is not a sin. Plus, I don't think you ever brought Gwendal, Conrad, and Wolfram to this kind of place before," Murata grumbled unhappily. When Yuri was about to retort, he immediately raised his hands, "Hey, don't look at me. You don't like it? Take it up with Bob. He did the whole thing!"

"I don't think any of us expect this really. It is a bit... much, no?" said a strained mild voice not far from them. Yuri's head tilted to the side.

Standing slightly apart from them was Harry as his companions. Mr. Lupin – Remus, he insisted to be called – looked slightly perplexed. Harry himself was shocked speechless. Only Miss Granger – Hermione! – was excited from the way her eyes lightened up and jaw dropped in awe.

Looking at Harry, Yuri can't help snorting, remembering with amusement the aftermath of the reconciliation.

Conrad was lighter ever since he was back in Harry's life. He was more relax and layback, calmer and composed. Life had resume for him with a new spring in his steps. Conrad is always smiling nowadays, and there are times Yuri caught him with a faraway look smiling so wide that he has no doubt who was in Conrad's mind. Surprisingly, he didn't glue himself next to Harry like they expected him too. Conrad mentioned that they don't want to rush things or appear too over eager. But more than once Yuri noticed that Harry and Conrad had coffee breaks together.

Harry, for his part, was a hell lot more reserved, which in hindsight was to be expected. He was cautious and very careful with their interaction. If they didn't know any better, he would say that Harry might have tried avoiding Conrad when necessary. That doesn't stop Conrad from seeking Harry out on his free time though, especially for lunch whenever Conrad drop-by the office. Conrad's patience and effort was rewarded in the end. Harry was slowly warming up to Conrad – and to the rest of them.

His mum was beside herself with joy now that everything is – more or less – calm down and settled. She makes it her goal to ensure the two groups spend time together as much as possible. Now that there are no more secrets between the two, she took full advantage of having the two group around more often. She would have invited Harry and his company for dinner every evening if she could, but since both Remus and Harry are extremely busy, they agreed for dinner every few days. Yuri can't blame her, she wanted to spend more time with them while they were in town. As it is, she sometimes meets up with Remus for lunch or coffee depending on Remus's free schedule.

Yuri had to admit, he had expected his mum to take them to a spa resort or something equivalent. It was a popular tourist activity. And it was relaxing. After a stressful few weeks, they could sure do with some relaxation.

He really did not expect Tokyo Disneyland. At all. Period!

"Nonsense, Remus. Disneyland is the best theme park around the world. I wanted all of us to enjoy our time. What better way than Disneyland. Plus, I'm willing to bet that Harry – or even you, Remus – have ever been to this kind theme park," said Jennifer with her eyebrow raised.

"I have never been to any theme park in my life, Mrs... Jennifer," Harry amended. Jennifer insisted that Harry dropped the title and called her 'Mama' or 'Jennifer'. Failure to comply will be rewarded with her puppy eyed look, which left them all sweat-dropped. Remus actually had to face away but the shaking of his shoulders give away his laughter. Harry had politely agreed to call her Jennifer and nothing else. He wasn't trying to be impolite or offensive, but any notion of calling anyone with the variation word of 'mother' other than his own deceased mother didn't sit well with him. Not after what he had been through with The Dursleys and The Weasleys.

Jennifer smiled in triumph. "Then it settled. Now come on. Let's drop our bags. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we can go and have fun!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Harry's knees wobbled after he got off one of the thrilling rides. Hermione wasn't faring any better. In fact, she looks green on the face. Harry sniggered. Looks like there is no more spinning rides for Hermione. At least for a while.

They both stumbled over to Remus, who was sitting on a bench with three drinks at his side. "Enjoy yourself?"

"Harry is," Hermione grumbled, accepting the cup of drink from Remus gratefully. "I swear this adrenaline junkie here can go on forever!" Hermione huffed glaring daggers at Harry, who was snorting on his own drink. Hermione wish he would choke on it.

"Hermione, we are at Disneyland. If we don't visit all their attractions have to offer, now that's a crime," said Harry draping his arm over Hermione.

Hermione bristled and she elbowed Harry's side painfully. Harry oof'ed rubbing his sore side, scowling. "Mione, you trying to gave me a bruise? That bloody hurts you know."

"Who asked you to be cheeky with me," Hermione smirked while Harry pouted.

"Blimey! Is this your subtle revenge? Are you mad that I drag you for the Jet ride?"

"You know blooming well that I don't do heights or flying," Hermione glared, lips pouting. "But No... you just have to cajole me for that ride!"

"That's the fun of it..." Harry grins unrepentant.

"You're lucky I don't throw up on you." Said Hermione with her eyes narrowed.

"You have motion sickness, Mione?" Harry taunted.

Hermione only quirked an eyebrow. "I'm still feeling the effect. I can still puke on you if you want," she said smirking.

"You're exaggerating. It wasn't that bad. Don't tell me you haven't been to that kind of ride before," Harry snorted before taking a sip of his drink. Hermione growled at him.

"It won't be that scary if you wasn't shouting for Remus and looked like you want to topple over while waving at him. You keep on jerking the ride up and down."

Harry poked his tongue at her. "I did no such thing. You're just being a scaredy-cat after that stunt with Buckbeak."

"Do you want me to punch you?" Hermione snarled pulling back her fist, ready to blow. Harry quickly scrambled backwards cackling madly.

"Alright kiddies, knock it off. What's next on your list?" Remus asked.

Harry shrugged while Hermione instantly replied. "Break! Break! Let's have lunch."

"We should meet up with Jennifer," Remus suggested. He paused, looking around. "Where are they do you know?" asked Remus to Harry.

"Around," said Harry nonchalantly. "I think they were still in line for the race car. Wait, why are you asking me? It's not like we plan to stick together all the time. This place is huge!"

Remus shrugged. "Just asking."

"If you ask me, I'd say you're trying to avoid him. He's being acting weird since we arrived here," said Hermione sipping her soda.

Harry scowled and his face scrunched up at the ridiculous notion. "I am not avoiding him."

"Sure you are," Hermione said offhandedly. Harry inwardly bristled.

"We just got separated after a few of us wanted to try different attractions at the same time," Harry insisted. Hermione eyebrow rose sceptically and she hummed absentmindedly. Harry saw that looked and growled. "I am not!"

. . . . . . . . . .

"You are!" Yuri blurted unashamedly.

Harry inwardly groaned while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Not you too."

"Well, you can't blame her for thinking like that, Potter," Murata said to him scowling on his soda. Finding it finished, he threw the paper cup into the trash. "You have been acting awkward around him. It's like; you wanted to be closer to him yet pushed him away at the same time."

Harry frowned. "I talked to him well enough at work."

"That's all well and good but suddenly we are here and you are like having a setback. You were skirting around him and it's kind of obvious."

"Yeah, It's like you're afraid to be alone with him or something," Yuri pointed out.

"It's not like that," said Harry denying but Yuri won't let him.

"Really? Cause we are sitting here, and he is over there with his brothers," Yuri nudge his head towards Conrad, who was sitting a couple of tables away from them. "And we are talking about him in a hush-hush manner."

"I just," Harry was at lost what to say. "I don't want to appear clingy. I mean, we agree to take things slow. And we are okay with that – and then boom! I was told we are having a trip together with your family," Harry paused, sighing. "You know it didn't take a genius to figure out we are thrown together. I just don't want to make a fool of myself while on this vacation." Harry paused when he suddenly thought of something. "And I really don't want to intrude on your family outing."

"You're not intruding and stop avoiding him," Yuri simply told him. "Harry I know you are cautious and there is a part of you still afraid of your feelings towards my godfather. But Harry, what would you achieve by avoiding him? This is an opportunity for you to get to know him better. What better way to spend time with him than having fun at Disneyland? You're here with us. Let's make good memories."

Harry eyes narrowed and there was warning bells at the back of his mind. Just what are they saying?

"Shibuya is right, Potter. We know you are uncomfortable for us to spring up like this on you. But we only have this summer. Comes school terms who knows what the future might bring. Rekindle your relationship with him now while you're undisturbed. Don't waste this chance that was given to you."

Harry secretly fidgeted. Truly he was thankful, but still... "But.."

"Harry," Yuri stared at him firmly. Harry stared back. "Don't worry about monopolizing him. In fact, don't hold back on our account. That's exactly what we are hoping you would do. Let it go. Enjoy and have fun with him. Mom may want us all to spend time together but we won't be offended if you spend more time with him. Don't hide from him, Harry. Afterall, I know for a fact that Conrad was having butterflies at spending some together time with you," Yuri told him, grinning mischievously at the end.

Harry was gobsmacked. He stared at Yuri in disbelief. Where in the bloodiest of hell did these people had the notion that he and Conrad wanted to be together in that way? Harry didn't like where this is going. His warning bells are getting stronger by the second.

With cheek tinted pink, Harry spluttered. "I don't... I'm not... Gah!" Harry sipped his drink, hoping to cool off. But it was difficult while Yuri was laughing at his expense and Murata smirking. Harry face heats up in embarrassment. "You guys..."

"Sorry, Harry. But if you are holding on to the loosely 'Just Friend Zone'. I'm afraid you are fighting a futile battle. Or losing battle whichever you prefer," Yuri snickered. "I'm telling you now. None of us are going to ensure you stay in that zone forever. We are all adamant that you'll be a permanent fixture in Conrad's life. Whatever it takes."

. . . . . . . . . .

"And that's what he said!" Harry told Remus and Hermione. They were walking around Fantasyland's Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall after they ate lunch to look at the artwork. Harry had been in dazed after his talk with Yuri and after nearly walked into a pole, Remus had thumped Harry's head to get him to land back to Earth. It worked somewhat.

The Shibuya group walked ahead of them. Jennifer enjoyed being in Fairy Tale Hall and her husband and her eldest son was indulging her. Yuri was telling the stories to his entourage about said Fairy Tale. Since they are occupied and didn't pay any attention to them, they can enjoyed the walk while talking – ranting on Harry's part – on what had occupied his mind. With a little help from a nifty Notice Me Not charm and Secrecy Charm to ensured their privacy.

"They are sure not keeping it a secret about matchmaking you two," Hermione murmured while passing by an artwork. Harry snorted.

"You think? I'm conflicted on what to do. Should I bonk them in their heads or blast them to kingdom come? Or thank them for being oh so caring. I mean, who the hell admits that they wanted us to be together outright?!"

"I don't think they mean it like that exactly," Remus voiced his thoughts. He had listened to Harry's rant with apt attention. He had warned both Jennifer and Bob that Harry won't be happy if he was manipulated again for whatever reason. And from how Yuri had worded his words, he came closed into revealing it as it intend.

Harry gawked at Remus looking scandalous. "Moony!"

Remus inwardly sighed. "Think about it, Cub. You met him when you were a kid. He was your only friend and the only adult that cared for you. For a child of your environment, I'm sure you grew attached to him. You both were very close. And in that regards, I'm sure Mr. Weller felt the same for you. You both had a fallout and are rebuilding back your friendship. Both Yuri and Murata might simply state that they wished for your relationship is like how you both were when you first met him."

"They sure don't sound like it from what they are implying," Harry groused unhappy.

"However the relation goes is yours to decide," Remus informed him steadily. "If by any chance that your friendship bloom into something more, well, if it happens it happens. I won't be ecstatic about it considering what he has done to you, but I won't stop you if that makes you happy."

Harry was silent, deep in thought and had that concentration looked. "They are really betting on me falling for Conrad aren't they?" That wasn't a question.

"They could be."

"Why?" Harry asked softly. He was half afraid to know what he'll find out.

"I don't know, Cub. However, Bob did hint that it would make things easier. He wasn't forthcoming about it but even he implied that it was a nice surprise if it were to happen."

Harry glanced at Remus like he had grown an extra pair of heads. How does the subject of him and Conrad in that way makes things easier? If anything, it should makes things more complicated. For him at least. "There is something else going on is there? If Bob is the mastermind of the whole thing, he would not have done it on a wimp."

"Maybe," Remus agreed absentmindedly. It is true that of all the people involved, Bob would be the centre of it all. The only one that is deep to know everything and not revealing anything. Sirius once told him, Bob can get things done. Trust him Sirius said. He would ensure Harry's well being Sirius said.

But in order to achieve it, does it require Conrad Weller? Remus wondered. No matter what he told Harry, he would prefer it if Conrad Weller stay far, far away. That man hurt his cub once already. The Wolf in him wanted to maul that bastard dead. If Harry's and Conrad Weller's fate is intertwined like all the signs implied, he'll have no choice to accept it. He'll brood of course, but he won't be completely against it.

A boisterous laughter caught Remus attention and he saw that they have wondered to the throne room to simply out. Jennifer was all smiles as she roped her family, particularly her sons, for a few picture on the throne.

Remus turned to Harry and Hermione, who was talking quietly about one of the Cinderella scenes. His mood darkened slightly.

There were too many secrets interwoven. Too many unanswered mysteries and they are running out of time. Whatever Sirius and Bob had planned, he hoped it happened soon.

. . . . . . . . . .

It was long passed midnight and still, Harry finds himself unable to sleep. After tossing and turning fitfully, he decided to get some fresh air. Harry rose from his bed and makes his way to the window. Once Harry makes himself comfortable by the window, his eyes strayed on the other occupants in the room. Finding them out cold, Harry chuckled.

They got a decent room so to speak. Remus had booked them the Alcove Room; which consist of two regular beds with an alcove bed. He and Hermione had a minor disagreement on who should sleep on the other regular bed. He wanted Hermione to have the regular bed and Hermione wanted the same for him. He didn't mind sleeping on the alcove bed even if it is slightly small. But Hermione won't have any of it and argued that she would take the alcove bed since she's the only girl and the alcove would give her a slight solitude. Personally, Harry thought she just wanted the alcove bed so that she can at least pretend to indulged in her childhood Disney fantasy. Hermione didn't take too kindly at that. He swore he still has the bruise at the back of his head. In the end, Remus – who have had enough of their bickering – told them to switch. Each of them will take turn with the beds. Remus would have take a turn too to be fair but Harry put his foot down and nearly throw a tantrum in objection stating that Remus would need all the rest he could get, and he will need them undisturbed. But he heard Remus mumbled that he would take a Triple Rooms next time... whatever that means.

It has been two nights since the monthly full moon passed. While Remus was not exactly at his peak health because of the transformation took a toll out of him, the aches upon his person had lessen. He still needs to take it slow for a couple of days at Harry's insistence.

It pleases Harry when he finds out that the nutrition's he cajoled Remus into partaking had finally paid off.

[Flashback]

Both he and Hermione had barricaded themselves into Harry's bedroom for the duration of the full moon as a precaution on Remus's behest. As Harry's room was further from Remus – and was accessible with a couple of escape routes, Harry can add more safety wards to his room if needed. Not that Remus hasn't barricaded his suite and charmed and warded the room heavily to prevent damages and the wolf escaping. But since they are not taking any chances, Hermione was asked to bunk with Harry.

Hermione had secretly charmed Remus's door to act as a mirror. This mirror was connected to Harry's which will allow them to see whatever going on inside the room without ever going near it. Wolfbane or not, it was better for all of them if they knew where the Wolf was at all times.

As soon as the full moon was present, they heard Remus moans and groans in pain. Then they heard struggle. Remus was doing his best in his room to not move about too much. Thank heavens he had heavily silenced their entire suite as well as expand his room to give him more space and big enough for the Wolf to roam about. However, the man forbade them from anywhere near him while he transformed. Even with the Wolfbane potion, he did not want to hurt them accidently while he trashes.

Harry wished he could soothe Remus. If only he can be there to ease his transformation. But order was an order. No matter how much he wished, Remus had trusted them to not intrude on his privacy while he was transforming. Harry didn't like it but if that knowledge of their trust gave him comfort, who were they to deny him.

Once the transformation was complete, and Remus howled to the moon that would have shaken the whole floor, Harry and Hermione quickly went and stand before their mirror.

What Harry saw makes him sighed relief and would have jump in joy. All the nutrition's had indeed paid off. Remus's wolf form – while not as enormous and as menacing as the ones Harry saw in the book, it no longer look thin, gaunt and sickly like in their third year. Harry was happy to note that Remus is now looked very healthy.

The Wolf was far from bulky but it was muscled. His brown fur was thick and looks nice and silky. The wolf's body was not skinny and he filled out, much to Remus's embarrassment. It was a far cry from how he was previously. And if Harry had his way – which he will – then Remus will only grow stronger.

Not to be demanding or anything, but Remus is only the parental figure he had left. The only person who had ties to his family, his parent. He was not about to lose his Moony to whoever stands in his way. He won't have it.

Because facts remains, Remus is the only one that could protect him at the moment. As long as he wasn't strong enough to stand on his own two feet, Remus is his only protection.

That admission not only terrifies him. It makes Harry mighty protective and possessive of his wolf!

[End Flashback]

Harry sighed again, staring gloomily out the window, gazing at the now empty park.

As much as things have been slightly better after his reconciliation with Conrad, Harry can't help but worrying. He wasn't that ignorant of all the things that happened. He knew the things that had planned for him by Sirius and to an extend – if what he heard right in passing is to be trusted – his father, James Potter. He knew what kind of life they had wanted for him. He knew the risk Remus took for him and the favour that Bob had done for him.

It was technically very simple. Improve yourself and take back your life from the puppeteer.

But things have never been easier if your name is Harry Potter. On top of this summer schemes, to add to the already complicated drama, Conrad Weller had to re-enter his life.

And oh look... Conrad so happens a family friend to Jennifer, who is good a friend to his family, who also have ties to Bob all around.

Fate seems to enjoy playing with him.

Yes, he has reasons to worry. He really doesn't need added stress. It's the summer and school's out for goodness sake! Why can't he have it easy and simple for once?

Harry groaned low as he hit his head lightly against the window glass. The cool surface is enough to calm his raging thoughts somewhat. He opened his mouth and blows his breath to the glass and watched the fog that shrouded that particular spot where his mouth was. Harry drags his finger across the glass and wrote his initial surrounded by a circle, feeling melancholy.

He really has no idea how the future will play out. Everything is so uncertain. Even though he is going through all these training and self-study, he can't guarantee that he'll be ready when the times comes for him to go back to Wizarding World.

Harry's mood dropped deeper.

He felt so small. And tonight, he felt heavy and wary.

"Mum, Dad... Sirius," Harry murmured to the star filled night sky. "I wish you all are right here with me. I'm too ill prepared for this."

Harry greeted his teeth and makes no signs to wipe the tears that flow heavily down his cheeks.

. . . . . . . . . .

Harry thumping a tune he heard once on the railing as they waited their turn at a River Rapids Ride. It was a water ride and since the whole floating raft can fits them all nicely. Jennifer insisted that they all take an adventure together. In fact, she wanted all of them to spend time together as a group that day.

"Please watch your step and stay seated for the duration of the ride," The employee commented, snapping Harry out of his musing.

Harry eyed the round raft. It was a twelve passenger's raft. And like all theme park, it was decorated to make it look adventurous. They are going to be in sort of a wild River adventure passing some attractions on its journey. They sat in the boat as it flows according to the flow. But the ride won't be calming. They'll be a lot of 'stumbles' along the way. If you were lucky, you'll get through the ride completely dry. Most however came back soppy wet.

Harry knew he should have worn his swimming trunk.

Once the raft reached them, they all quickly scrambled into the raft. Once Harry was seated, he looked around. Remus and Hermione were paired together, Jennifer is of course with Shouma, Yuri and Wolfram, Gwendal and Murata, and Shori was lucky to have the twin seat alone.

Harry blinked. So that means...

Harry face tilted to the side and sure enough, Conrad was sitting beside him. As if feeling his gaze at him, Conrad eyes darted towards him and he smiled.

Harry smiled tightly back.

A jerked signifies the raft is in motion, and Harry eyes darted to the front. His gaze so happens to land on Remus and Hermione, who was grinning in amusement at his expense. Harry glared at them. That makes them snickered.

Harry sat back and relaxes. Apart from a few stumbles here and there, it was actually quite enjoyable. Harry kept looking for their showcase along the way. All around him, the group was laughing and generally enjoyed themselves. Wolfram on the other hand looks slightly green from all the stumbling. He wasn't complaining much since Yuri's hand was completely around his waist and pulling him close.

"Harry, hands on the metal bar," Conrad called out to him. "Won't want you to fall off."

Harry smirked. "Ha! I won't go down that easy. I've had worst slippery vehicle than this. This raft won't best me."

Conrad smirked at Harry, and Harry suddenly finds himself unable to turn away from Conrad.

A particularly strong stumble jerked the raft roughly and Harry finds himself jerked to the side, into Conrad and Conrad's hand immediately caught his waist. "You were saying?" said Conrad cheekily.

Harry felt his face heats up in embarrassment. He knew he was blushing all the way to his ears. "Shut up."

"Oh... look out... In coming water jet!" Shouma laughed. All eyes were on that thin water jet that cascades from one of the display and they all gripped their seat in anticipation. Wondering who was unlucky enough to be the first to get wet.

As the water gets near, they ooh'ed and hold their breaths as they passed underneath it, and then...

Shori quickly moved to the side, completely and effectively missed the water.

"That's illegal!" Yuri laughed. "Shori, the idea is for you to get wet!"

Shori smirked from where he sat. "What can I say, I'm just that awesome."

They burst out laughing uproariously. Hermione and Jennifer shrieked when the raft get soaked with water, completely drenching their lower half.

"Guys, hang on tight. We're gaining speed. I wonder how we'll go through the whirlpool..." Murata mumbled. His glasses by completely blinded by the sun.

The group grinned as they watched their raft headed to the whirlpool. When whoop when the whirlpool caused their raft to spin three times before it continue down the river. Jennifer was squealing in delight as she was sprayed with droplets of water while Wolfram sucked in a deep breath, trying to not lose his stomach.

After the whirlpool, the raft did indeed gain more speed as they surf a more turbulent waters. And they are stumbling more frequent then before.

There was a stumble and a splash, and Yuri yelped as he and Wolfram was drenched from behind. But before any of them can laugh, their raft was spinning and was completely going through underneath a waterfall. This time, everyone got wet.

"Gah! Oh man..." Yuri muttured.

"Damn..." Shori mumbled.

Jennifer was giggling. "We definitely got to change later," said Jennifer.

While they were going through some waterslides, the raft stumbled strongly. Water was soaking in the raft. Then, the raft encountered another violent stumble. The water completely soaked the raft and was splashing heavily on them, completely drenching them from head to toe.

Except… it didn't just drench them. Harry didn't feel the water splashes. Instead he was submerged in water. Startled, Harry's hand flailed out to grab someone but the current was so strong and he felt the pressure forcing him to jerk according to the water current.

Did they drown? Did the raft topple over? It couldn't be. It was supposed to be a friendly river ride. The waters barely reached his waist! Harry panicked. His eyes trying in vain to search for Remus and Hermione. But Harry was swept away by the vortex. He could barely see anything!

The next thing he knew, Harry was sitting in the water somewhere, completely soaked and shocked at what had happened. Harry raised his head and saw that he was in a fountain somewhere, and since he was sitting on his bum, the water was up to his chest level. Looking over at Remus and Hermione, who emerged beside him, they were fairing no better than he is. In fact, they were as stunned speechless as him. Looking over at Yuri and his entourage, Harry dazedly saw that Yuri was gobsmacked, Conrad was speechless, his brothers was both wide eyed in shock, only Murata was somewhat calmer of the lot but a little nervous. All in all, they looked like a deer caught under the headlights.

"What in the world!" Harry exclaimed, jumping to his feet.

"Ah. Harry," Conrad slowly stand up, palm upwards in a peace gesture, looking uncomfortable and anxious. "I don't know how to put this nicely so I'll be blunt…"

Harry, who was shivering, just stared at Conrad in extreme disbelief. That would be an understatement considering what he had just been through. He was in no means prepared for what Conrad said next.

"Welcome to my world."

Harry's reaction was eyes widened, jaw dropped and he staggered backward.

"What?!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Author Footnote :

I don't know about Tokyo Disneyland, but from what I've read, I'm pretty sure they don't have River Rapids Ride. Originally, I wanted to go for Splash Mountain but it won't be adequate for Yuri's mean of water portals so for the purpose of this story, Let's pretend they do have that ride. (Whether they do actually have it or not that's beside the point)

Review on your way out. Thank you.
