Hello there, this is my first fanfic ever! I have always just been one to read other people fanfics but I got frustrated waiting on updates so I just decided to make one myself. Because why not?

I'm sorry if I have no talent at all to be writing up a fanfic but just bear with me!

Any misspellings or weird phrasing of words is all my fault and I apologize in advanced.

Everything is owned by J . K . Rowling and anything besides that is mine.

So enjoy!

Arian's Mansion, Autre Realm, Creature World

The fifth day of the Hunting season.

True to his words, Harry spent the day with Arian. They went down to the beach to go swimming, Harry haven't got the chance to explore the outsides of Arian's mansion seeing how busy they've been for the past 2 weeks. It was a beautiful day and they ended up going down to the beach for a swim. Arian gave Harry a special swimming suit that was spelled to not let you drown, it would automatically float the wearer on the surface of the water if the wearer activates the spell or when the spell detected an early sign of drowning.

"Worry much?" Harry asked amused.

"I just don't want you drowning."

"Well good to know that you love me."

"of course I lo-" "Seeing how I don't know how to swim!"

Harry ran quickly into the sea , laughing all the way.

Arian spluttered, "Wha-what?! You get back here!"

Harry answered Arian with more laughing and walked deeper into the sea until it reached the middle of his chest. He dunked his head under the water for a few seconds , when he came back up, he found his face full with a very worried looking alpha.

"Don't scare me like that!"

Harry looped his hands around Arian's neck and pulled him into a kiss.

"Stop worrying , you said that this suit is spelled to prevent me from drowning right? Then relax."

Arian looked doubtful and worried and then he let go of Harry and took a step back, he cracked a smile and splashed Harry. Harry's eyes widen.

"How dare you! You want to play it like that huh? Take that!"

They splashed each other for a while and eventually Harry hopped on Arian's back, giving Arian the satisfaction of carrying him around.

"I can always teach you how to swim…"

"You would do that?"

"Yes of course."

"I used to be in a Tri Wizard tournament, but it was a set up but I had to participate anyway. And one of the task was to save someone on the bottom of the lake in Hogwarts. I still didn't know how to swim at that time, but I took some gillyweed to help me breathe under water and the webbed hands and feet helps a bunch. It was fun, but scary at the same time. This is actually my first time ever swimming in the sea, no, its my first time ever setting my foot on a beach! It's nice…"

Arian answered by dunking them both underwater. They spent the day with Arian teaching Harry how to swim. But Harry only succeeded in floating himself and some awkward kind of swimming, more like a dog rather than human like, but not all miracles happened in a day right?

They stopped for lunch and hand in hand, walked up back to the house. After lunch, they sat in a hammock under a shaded tree by the beach, the breeze was peaceful and they just spent the rest of the day in each other embraced. Arian was reading a book while Harry absentmindedly traced shapes on Arian's chest.

"Hey Arian.."

Arian hummed in return.

"What do you think of the picnics? Truly."

Arian hummed again, he put his book down and turned to fully looked Harry in the eyes.

"If it was up to me, I would locked you away so that I could keep you all to myself, mine to love, mine to cherish, mine to protect, mine. But it's not always about me, now I have you in my life and you have to do what you have to do to be happy. And I would do anything to make you happy. I trust you to keep me happy, I'll let you go find your other mates, I'll even support you in finding them, and I will learn to love them to accept them just the way you accepted me and love me. I need you because you make me laugh more than anyone else and I'm the best me when I'm with you. And because when you're gone, nothing feels right until you return. Even though I'm an Alpha, I still have insecurities. Thus, I want other people to feel the same feeling I have when I'm with you, so no. I really don't mind the picnics."

Harry smiled and hugged Arian. Kissing his face and lastly on the bite mark. Harry roused up to his elbows and waggled his brows to Arian. "I'm feeling like we should do something…something that involves a bed…any suggestions?"

Arian bopped Harry on the nose and foreshadow them onto the bed. Harry walked funny for the rest of the day.

Harry woke up the next day earlier than he usually does. Seeing how today he would have his first picnic. Arian chose the place they would be having the picnic. They decided to stick to places in the Neutral Land, the first picnic would be held on a little hill near the Kyulo Land , Arian said that he used to come there when he was still training to be an alpha. It made him calmed and helped him relax. There was a big tree on the hill and it had a very beautiful view, it was just a perfect location to spend some time with new people and just have the opportunity to get to know them better.

Harry went to the kitchen to bake cookies and tarts. In the invitations, he wrote to them saying that they have to bring one food and drink of their choice while Harry will bring the deserts. Harry grew up cooking and baking for his Aunt's family and he even learned a couple of new recipes from Dobby before he died. So he was confident in his cooking skills. Today he chose to make simple cookies that everybody loves, so 2 hours and 2 batch of double chocolate chip cookies and treacle tarts later , Harry was done. He put a stasis spell on the deserts so it would keep them fresh and delicious, he packed them into a picnic basket along with a huge blanket that would fit 10 grown ups.

Today he will be having 2 betas Nathan and Ares, a protector Blaine, a warrior Edric, a healer Daire and a scholar Tynan. Elijah sent back a reply not long after Arian asked him about the sage, he haven't heard any news about any sage being born in the past 30 years, but he told them to wait before meeting the supposedly sage while he went to asked a few trustworthy sources. Harry doesn't really care what ranks or creatures his future mate would be. But Arian was adamant to found out wether the information was true or not before risking a meet. Harry can't really say no to a very well phrased plead so he put Eryx on the last picnic for now.

The picnic would only last for a few hours. The purposed of the picnic was just for Harry to have a first impression on each candidate, see if their personality and way of thinking was as great as their scent and magic compatibility. Harry wore matching clothes with Arian because why not? They wore a navy blue button down with dark grey pants. Arian spent some time brushing out Harry's fluffy hair, it grew out a little since he came here, barely reaching his neck. Harry found out how Arian loved brushing his hair, he don't know why but doesn't complain because it felt good anyway.

They went out half an hour earlier than the intended time, when the shadow dispersed. They were standing at the bottom of the hill, the scenery was magnificent. All Harry could see was the green grass that came up to his knees, and odd patches of flowers here and there, it was beautiful. Arian was holding the picnic basket in one hand, he held Harry's in the other and began tracking up the hill.

When they arrived at the top, Harry ran to the big tree. It was humongous! And there was a swing attached to one of the branches and the view made him breathless. If he looked very very hard, he can almost see the top of the Main hall's roof. Arian walked over to where Harry was in a more calmed pace, silently laughing at his submissive antics. He set the basket down and pulled out the blanket, with the help of magic he spread the blanket down and spelled it down so it wouldn't be blown off by the wind.

Harry laid down on the blanket, basking the feeling of nature that surrounded him. Arian shook his head amused and pulled out the sheep from the basket, he enlarged the sheep back to its normal size and gave it to Harry.

"You brought my sheep?"

"I suspect much that you would want to rolled around on the blanket, thought the sheep will come in handy."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome love."

It was another 15 minute from the intended time of the picnic when a figure approached them, he was wearing a light armor. 'Protector or warrior then' Harry mused. He was 6ft8 with short almost cropped black hair with faint traces of red highlights. Tanned skin and dark brown eyes. Harry sit up while Arian stood up by his side.

"Are you here for the picnic?"

The man nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Edric from the house of Roark Lane."

Harry tilted his head to the side.

You're a warrior right?"

Edric again nodded.

"Well come on take a seat. You're quite early."

"I'm used to being early. Better than being late."

"Agreed. My name is Harry and this is my alpha mate, Arian Hynson."

"It is an honour to be having the opportunity to meet the both of you."

"Same here!" Harry smiled.

"It would be better to wait for the others to arrive before we continue." Arian spoke out.

Edric only nodded.

"You don't talk much do you?"

"I talk less so I can listen more."

Harry smiled.
