Ten months later, Harry found himself in a city near Cornwall again. He had been in Europe and America, but hadn't found what he was searching for. Though he had sometimes thought to have seen one of them... He hadn't written to anyone because if he had, they would ask him what he was doing and where he was and he would have to wait for their answers until he could leave again. So there he was, walking down a street, asking himself what he would have to do to find what he was searching for. But then, as someone was just passing him, he suddenly felt something that made him look up. It had obviously come from that guy... He turned around, but there was no one. And then he cursed himself. He knew there had been someone and he knew it had been one of them.
'Well, at least I can be sure that they exist now...' He thought to himself as he continued to walk down the street. He sat down in a bar and ordered a coffee. After a minute he received his coffee and began to think again. How was he ever going to find them?! And ten minutes later Harry paid and went out of the bar. But then, as he stepped out into the cold December air he felt it again. But when he looked around he did not see anything. He went away a bit, still looking around. But still there was no one. Harry sighed and walked to the little muggle hotel where he was living. But halfway down the street he stopped dead and turned around again—the street behind him was empty. But Harry smirked,
"I know that you are there." He said loudly, looking somewhere in the sky. "I am not that stupid. I can feel your presence! I don't know what you want, but to me it seems as if you are trying to attack me. And I would prefer if you show yourself..." No answer. "Oh come on, I am not that stupid. Answer me! You just want me to believe that no one's there. You can't—"But then there suddenly appeared a pretty woman in the air in front of him and she appeared to be talking to someone,
"Hey Gus, what are you doing? Phil has been asking for you!" She said to the air and Harry smirked. The person just had to show himself now. And then a man appeared in front of her and said,
"Fynn, did you have to come now? I nearly managed to trick him!" Harry crossed his arms over his chest and the woman looked at him. A moment later she let out a cry of panic,
"What on earth are you doing?! That's a human! What have you got to do with one of them?!" She backed a little away from Harry who raised an eyebrow,
"Now, now Fynn, don't worry. He won't kill you." And then the man said something in another language.
"Hey there, I do not really like to be ignored, you know. Would you tell me why you've been following me, why you are afraid of me and who you are?!" Harry asked them and they looked at him,
"Well..."
"Okay, would you answer a question first?" The man nodded and the woman looked at them disapprovingly. "Are you coming from a mage circle?" And then they stared at him in shock. They had not expected this question.
