AN: So I got a few new questions and I will answer them as I so love to do.

PurpleFireDrake asks: I was wondering if Harry was still courting kai and Sylark? I mean I know he was courting Wist but he left (I ended up not liking him so that is okay) is he still courting? I do like the idea of Harry with Kai and Sylark and what will Harry's new shield and caretaker think about them?

Emmy answers: Harry was never courting Kai and Sylark. They are currently in a closed courtship and will not pursue Harry actively until they are fully mated. I do think they would make great people in Harry's nest however as actually mates, i am still deciding. Harry is still seeking an active courtship but in a more passive role. He is now more concerned for Teddy than a mateship and his school life is going to get a bit more interesting. As for what they will think of Harry's new shield and caretaker, that would be a spoiler. I don't give spoilers.

Sousie asks: I thought he was teddy shield?

Emmy Answers: This would be confusing as you are reading from FF net and not receiving all of the full updates and the full series log. On my AO3 page you will see that Hurriyah is part of a series called Hurriyah Scrapbook. In it there are excerpts related to the main story that help explain things in the main story. As well as a story called Hurriyah Extra Journal. In it there are descriptions of all these big long titles you keep hearing, as well as mating rituals, racial descriptions and other helpful insight into the world of Hurriyah. I will pose the link to the scrapbook below. Now as to your question I will copy and past from the chapter:

Faerjahn: also known as 'Oath Shields' are warriors sworn to magical oath to protect and serve the masters they deem worthy. Oath Shields may only enter contracts with legal adults. Though they are often hired to protect offspring their true objective is protecting the ones that enter a contract with them. If a child is part of the deal they will protect the child just as ferociously. They are merciless when their charge or charges are threatened.

Ace Trainer Jesse Asks: Is the Phyrinchyl just a more formal or magical version of a nanny ? but more of the older style ?

Emmy Answers: This goes back to how I answered Sousie, since you are a FFnet reader you don't get all of the details you could have. This is because sadly, FFnet is a lot more strict on their rules and I get threatened by them enough as it is for having things that are to adult in style. I will place what I put in my scrapbook.

-Phyrinchyl: 'Caretakers' they are magical creatures/beings who have embraced the path of taking care of children when parents cannot. they are trained in basic fighting, and healing. Phyrinchyl's all have the same thing in common, each is selected for their ability to care for and wish for children. However all are unable to bear/father their own children. Each is barren and wish for nothing more than to be around the children they cannot have.

Chapter Twenty One

Harry sighed as he slammed the door behind him, in front of him stood Charz who looked about the place with a critical eye. Harry stepped around him and looked up at the welcoming hiss. He smiled and reached up stroking the eye ridge of the large python that normally guarded the door. He knew the oath shield was watching him closely as he did. the long seven foot serpent slid down Harry's arms to rest along his shoulders hissing excitedly about the new people in the 'nest'. It always made Harry laugh when he heard of the snakes refer to his place as a nest. He guessed snake wise it could be called one.

Walking into the main room he saw Teddy sitting at the slow sitting table drawing on a piece of paper. Smiling he walked over and right past Anute who nodded at him. The boy looked up and smiled before standing and running over and Harry caught him picking him up, "Teddy, I see you're having fun"

The boy nodded, "Anu gave me crayons and he put one of my drawings on the fridge! Its the one with the blue people."

Harry smiled and walked over to the kitchen and pointed at the drawing, "Oh my Teddy I think that is a keeper. Well done." The picture was of three people standing in a row drawn in blue. One had green eyes and black hair the second had brown hair and eyes while the smallest had pink hair and green eyes. "Is this me, you, and Grandma Andy?"

The boy nodded, "I was gonna draw one of Wisty but Birdy said he left and hurt you."

Harry sighed and kissed the boy's forehead, "Wistari didn't hurt me. We just, didn't work out. Sometimes people don't fit well together."

He could feel three pair of eyes watching him and for some reason it wasn't awkward even when Teddy pouted at him, "But you cried."

Harry sighed, "It still hurts. But it is not so bad. I was more upset that he left without talking to me first. I was angry, and he just ran."

Teddy screwed up his face, "Cookies make me feel better. They help you to."

The teen laughed along with Justin, "You just want cookies you brat."

The kid giggled before squirming out of Harry's arms to run over to the table. Harry looked on curiously when Teddy walked over to a plate Harry didn't notice before. The boy picked up the plate and brought it over screwing up his face like it was heavy. He brought it over to Harry smiling, "You have to blow on it!"

Harry lifted a brow before kneeling down and blowing on the plate and his eyes widened as the plate shimmered and cookies appeared on its surface, "How did?"

Teddy grinned, "Anu and I made them cause I said you were sad and wanted to help!"

Harry smiled and took the plate laying it on the counter before sweeping the boy into a tight hug glancing at Anute who stood off to the side looking at the two curiously. Pulling away he smiled, "How about me and you take a few cookies and sit down with a book ya?"

Teddy's nose scrunched up, "I want to play with my snitch please."

Harry nodded, "Ok two cookies and you can go play with your snitch. See that blue door? I am going to be just in there if you need me have Anute or Justin come get me ok?"

The boy nodded happily before snatching three cookies and bolting. Harry called out after him, "I saw that! No dessert mister!"

"Ugh Harry!" was his only reply before the sharp sound of a swishing snitch could be heard.

Harry rolled his eyes before looking at the others, "Anute meet Charz he is an Faerjahn. Charz, Anute is a Phyrinchyl. Your top priority will always be Teddy. I do not matter as much as he does. Now I need to be in the potion lab I have a few potions to make before tomorrow. Justin join me in the lab please, I will need a bit of help with all four of them."

Justin groaned, "Man I hate potions. Which ones?" He stood rubbing the back of his head.

"Scar Lessening, Supplement Potion, Pepper Up, and Calming Draught."

Anute raised a brow, "That is not University level potions."

Harry shrugged, "It's what I take. Supplement for the malnourishment, Scar lessening for the well scars I have, Pepper Up again obvious and Calming Droughts again obvious."

Justin shivered, "Ya the scars."

"Shut up Justin. they aren't that bad."

"Dude they are worse than my family's Haeljahn."

The wizard rolled his eyes, "Again they are not that bad."

The Djinn grinned, "Which is why you hide them under that amazing cloak of yours."

"My cloak is worn as a symbol of what I am."

"Creepy as hell."

Harry sighed, "I use a scythe, wear a dark hooded cloak, I'm pale and I get a laugh out of glamouring my eyes black."

Justin shivered, "Great your a reaper out of those japanese cartoons."

The teen laughed and reached into his cabinet to grab out the potions he had to take. Swallowing down the supplement and scar lessening potion first he took a breath and his face twisted in disgust. "Ugg I hate potions."

Anute smiled, "You should add a bit of mint to them. Mint has no adverse reaction in most potions and can lesson the taste of the ingredients."

The black haired wizard shrugged, "I will have to try that. Anyways come my new minion to the potion lab." he grabbed Justin by his sleeve and dragged him into the well stocked Potions lab. Looking around he gave a long sigh. He didn't like potions much either but they were a necessary part of his life. Looking in he saw two long tables and a large cabinet. Pulling out four pewter cauldrons he set them up and turned to Justin, "Which potions do you want?"

He frowned, "Calming and Pepper Up. I have made enough of those in the day."

Harry nodded and the two began to dance around each other, chopping, slicing, dicing, and measuring ingredients. the two worked in silence which for Justin was a miracle in itself. Soon the potions where simmering and Harry sighed and set a magical timer. He looked to see Justin doing the same before he nodded to Harry and slipped out the door followed quickly by Harry. He looked to see Anute at the stove cooking while Charz was leaned against the doorframe to Teddy's room watching the boy pay.

Harry smiled at them before slowly removing his soul weapon and leaning it against the wall near the door. Before slowly pulling off the cloak pale arms a stark difference to the dark clothes he wore. He lifted a hand to rub at the dragon claw marks on his shoulder.

Charz glanced over, "Those are from dragon claws."

The wizard nodded, "Hungarian Horntail to be precise."

The Oath shield grinned, "Interesting." For some reason the man seemed please with this but the glint in his eyes. Harry walked into his room closing the door behind him tearing off his shirt in the process. He walked up to the mirror and even after a week of being on those potions he saw no change. He had gained no weight he was still pale and his scars just as vivid, even his eyesight was the same and that was only meant to be a three day process. Why was it not working.
