Chapter 37

As the young man thought over his answer for a few seconds Harry took the extra time to look over the strange man and his creature. He stood tall and proud yet also held a friendly air around him. The young man had smoky white hair and kind purple eyes and wore a strange blue uniform of trousers and a jacket with a picture of a bumblebee sewn onto the hat. A very long white scarf was wrapped around his neck and was dangling down, almost touching the ground. A black satchel with silver line markings hung over his right shoulder where it the strap went over his head and rested on his left hand side.

Standing next to the strange looking young man was a large white dog with what looked to be long slender but strong legs with black fur. Tied around its neck was a purple neckerchief that looked as if it was used as a collar of sorts.

"I guess I should introduce myself first and tell you what my job is...seeing as I am so far away from the normal areas that us Letter Bee's travel and work in," the man said with a sheepish grin making Harry's tail silently twitch behind him. "Well, my name is Gauche Suede and I am a Letter Bee, someone who is basically a Post Man from the land of Amberground who is entrusted with the shards of people's hearts which we carry in the letters we deliver."

"Okay..." Harry said slowly as he felt Tatsumi come to stand behind him in a protective manner. "And so you have one of these letters containing heart shards in it for Severus Snape?"

"Yes, that is correct in a way," Gauche replied with a kind smile but his eyes quickly flickered upwards to Tatsumi before falling back down to the strange looking young teenager that he was talking to. "I take it from your words and actions that this is the home of Severus Snape?"

"Yes, yes it is but may I ask just who gave you the letter," Tatsumi said, speaking up as he placed a protective hand on Harry's left shoulder. "Severus Snape has a lot of...not very nice people who would like to do him harm, he has lived a hard life..."

"I understand sir, but while I cannot and will not tell you who the Sender is because of the confidentiality between myself and the Sender I can tell you that the Sender means no harm to Severus Snape," Gauche said only to pause for all but a second and look at Tatsumi with a thoughtful expression on his face that had both Harry and Chad standing on edge.

"Very well then," Tatsumi said as he kept his hand on Harry's shoulder. "I am afraid that Severus is not here at the moment, he is currently sorting out some personal matters."

"Oh, that is too bad. Do you know when he will be back?" Gauche asked only to give Tatsumi a thoughtful look. In reply Tatsumi stayed quiet and waited for what he knew was the second half of Gauche's words, he did not have to wait long. "Are you one Tatsumi Seiichiro? Severus Snape's childhood friend?"

At Gauche's words Harry suddenly noticed the whole atmosphere change. Tatsumi's grip on his shoulder tightened slightly, his eyes took on a dangerous glint to them and his body shifted slightly as if to take on a battle ready stance in case the strange man and his strange dog turned nasty.

"Great! The Sender said that I could leave the letter with you to give to Severus Snape if he was unavailable," Gauche said with a relieved grin before reaching into his satchel and began to riffle around for, what Harry, Chad and Tatsumi guessed, the letter. "Apparently the Sender knew about Severus Snape and his roles so they made sure that there was at least one other person who could accept and possibly open the letter depending on just what was going on."

"Very well, I am Tatsumi Seiichiro so please give me the letter," Tatsumi said stiffly as he watched Gauche pull out an envelope from his satchel. "Do I need to sign anything or show you anything?"

Gauche paused before he gave the envelope holding Severus' letter to Tatsumi and turned to look at his canine partner. Harry watched as the pair shared what looked like a silent conversation with each other before Gauche nodded his head, reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked like to Harry a business card and placing it on top of the letter before turning back to him and Tatsumi and offering Tatsumi both the letter and business card.

"No need, everything has already been sorted out though please take this business card and use it to inform others about our services while also using our services yourself," Gauche said with a kind smile on his face which only grew as Tatsumi excepted them both. "Thank you, with this successful delivery you should hopefully be seeing more of my fellow Letter Bee's and myself about."

"Thank you," Tatsumi said as he placed the letter and business card into one of his trouser pocket.

From besides his human and his human's mate Chad made sure to keep a close eye on the strange dog that stood besides this strange white haired human. Chad felt an emotion shift inside of himself as he felt the other animal's stare upon him, even though he was not quite sure just what was going on something did not settle right with him. So instead he settled on standing protectively close to his human keeping a close eye on the strange pair. Luckily though the pair did not stick around for much longer.

"Well, I guess I will be going as the delivery is complete," Gauche said kindly only to turn his attention back to Harry. "If you ever want to send something to someone feel free to remember the business card I just gave to Tatsumi Seiichiro and contact us Letter Bee's for delivery."

As Harry nodded his head slowly, wondering if this was some strange kind of marketing plot of the company's, Gauche gave him and Tatsumi a short bow before turning and walking away. As Gauche walked away his partner followed him, neither of them looked back as they made their way back down towards the town.

"I see what you mean about there being strange people," Tatsumi said absent mindedly as he continued to stay glued to the place he was standing in as he watched Gauche and the strange dog disappear into the distance. "I wonder what sort of activates Severus has gotten himself into which means he needs some like this 'Letter Bee' Gauche to deliver a letter to him."

"Maybe it has something to do with his plans to gain revenge on my first mate?" Harry suggested thoughtfully before looking out at the still picture perfect sunny day. "How about we keep the letter safe for Severus and in the mean time we see about finally getting ourselves some of that left over pizza and eat it outside like we planned?"

Tatsumi made a soft hum of agreement. "I like that plan how about that. Hopefully things will be a lot more quieter now...but if this is how things are for you normally I have a feeling that I will never be board, which is a large positve for me my precious mate, and I-What was that?"

"What was what?" Harry asked as he twisted his body around the best he could with Tatsumi's hand on his shoulder so he could look at Tatsumi's face. Much to Harry's confusion though Tatsumi's eyes were locked onto something a few feet away.

Turning his body back around so he could see out of the front door Harry scanned the area with his powerful feline eyes only for his hearing to come into play when he found it in no time. Just a few meters away in the tall grass Harry heard a soft rustling sound only for the grass to move ever so slightly a few seconds later. Chancing a quick look down at Chad, Harry found the Sidhe Cat sniffling the air curiously.

'What is in the tall grass? Could it be a Pokémon?' Harry thought as he turned his attention back to the tall grass. As if by some sort of magic a familiar voice came from within the moving tall grass.
