Chapter 2
Harry had spent the last three days slowly making his way around New Orleans, he had been on the tours, he had been to the museums, saw the beautiful art and the WW2 planes. He had made use of his time as still had other bits booked in to do over the next few days.
Feeling his stomach growling Harry made his way down the stairs to the front parlour, he greeted the lady and wished her a good morning, and headed out into the heat.
Walking through the French Quarter during the day, you wouldn't believe how busy and hectic it was of an evening. He walked along until he came upon the pub he had met the King of New Orleans in, walking in it was quiet with only a few patrons sat to the tables.
Harry walked in and sat to the bar, he waited until a young blonde lady came to server him, a smile gracing her lips, "Good morning, how can I help you today?" she asked with a warm smile on her face.
"I'd love a breakfast, what ones do you do?" he asked her, he looked around the bar to see if there were any menus, he couldn't see any on hand.
She reached under the bar and pulled out a menu, "here you go, give me a shout when you've decided what you'd like." she said as she wandered off further into the pub to check on the other patrons.
Harry looked down the list, it was weird being in America, there was no English breakfast, everything seemed too sickly to him, pancakes with covered in syrup, maybe another time. He decided to go with Scrambled egg on toast and a orange juice she walked off into the kitchen to tell the chef what he had ordered.
Glancing around the bar again, it was hard to believe that this place had been teeming with people just a few nights ago.
A few minutes past and she came back with his food, he sat there and ate it in silence. Once done he thanked her and decided to go on a stroll around the city, he didn't want to be cooped up inside, it was lovely outside, the weather warm but humid.
Walking down the street he could feel the eyes watching him which he had felt since the night he'd be Kol and Klaus. He was annoyed that they had sent someone to trail him, but he decided to ignore it until he couldn't any more.
He had a few hours to kill before his tour of the French Quarter, they would be going of an evening as everything livened up. He couldn't wait to see and experience it, he had glanced from his hotel window and saw all the different people enjoying themselves, not a care in the world. All that different culture, and music was breathtaking.
As he was coming past a Wiccan shop, he spotted the brunette from a few nights ago, she was coming out a few brown bags layered in her arms. She waved goodbye to the person who ran the shop and almost ran into him.
Surprise flickered across her face, "Oh gosh I'm sorry I didn't see you there!" she said as she blushed in embarrassment.
"No worries," he replied, about to walk off, she must have noticed he was going to leave without another word as she placed her hand against his arm.
"I was hoping to come upon you again, I thought maybe we could have a chat, I have so many questions, don't worry none are personal, I mean unless you want to talk about it." she said fumbling over her words embarrassed.
Harry laughed, "No worries, sure I'd be happy to assist," he said with a smile, "How about we find somewhere quiet and sit down and chat over a drink."
she agreed smiling, we headed towards a small cafe, it had baked goods on show in the front window, "try the beignet, they're amazing," she said as they walked in, they sat down to a little table overlooking the people walking past.
Harry unconsciously cast a muffling charm around their table, the witch gasped in surprise as she felt the magic surround them.
"What was that you just did, I felt the magic, I can still feel it but its fading now." she said with wonder crossing her face.
This magic was so different to her own, it amazed her, she wished to learn what she could about it, she just hoped he'd be happy to open up.
"Just a simple muffling charm, for any prying ear that may be trying to listen in," Harry said, as look on his face telling her he knew he was being followed and what he was about to tell her he didn't want any prying ears hearing it all.
"Well, where do you want me to start, as anything you want, but first how about we exchange names first" he said as he ordered the beignet with a hot chocolate on the side.
"Well, my name is Davina Claire, I'm a Wiccan witch and a friend of the Mikaelson Family." she said biting into her scrumptious food.
Harry proceeded with his introductions, he answered what questions she asked, and eventually they began to get to know one another, for each question she asked, Harry had some in return. He found this young girl was anxious to learn all she could, and he in turn found out some things he hadn't known, he asked about the Mikaelsons and how she had knew them and whether they were to be trusted, but she explained their story.
Harry was wary of them after hearing Davina's story, they were truly a force not to be trifled with. He found out about Klaus' daughter Hope, about all his siblings, about his parents who Harry instantly hated after hearing Davina's story of how they treated the Mikaelson clan.
Harry could understand the wariness of Klaus, he would be wary of any newcomer after everything which had happened since he came back to New Orleans.
They exchanged numbers, Harry having not bought a mobile yet, had given her the hotels number and his room number, so she could contact him if she needed to.
Meanwhile in the Mikaelsons home in the French Quarter.
Klaus sits on the floor with his 6month old daughter who is sat playing with her blocks and toy animals, looking upon her, he wishes he could forget about all the troubles happening around him and concentrate on his beautiful daughter. But alas he couldn't bury his head in the sand as he had keep New Orleans safe, safe for his family. Especially safe for his daughter.
One of his minions knocked on the door leading to the sitting room, Klaus sighed before saying "Come in."
The man fidgeted about on the spot uncertain whether to speak yet or not, for this man frightened the daylights out of him, Klaus growing agitated spat out, "Well, spit it out then, what have you seen,"
The man replied with what he had watched from afar over the last few days watching the new Wizard which had come to town, nothing of importance came up, and Klaus began to get annoyed when at last the imbecile came up to the part which had just happened. Marcel's witch had spent the morning with Harry down in the French Quarter, and he told him of where Harry was staying; which happened to be but a stone throw away from where he was sitting right that moment.
'Well, at least I'll be able to question Davina on what I want to know about him' he thought to himself as he dismissed the vampire to continue watching. And to report if something of importance happened.
Klaus picked his daughter up and carried her to where his siblings were sat in the kitchen, with Hayley busy at the stove making some food for Hope.
"Well, Davina has been seen with Harry today down in the French quarter, apparently they had beignet together and chatted for a good couple of hours. I say we find out what she knows, Kol go find out what she found out and report back, we all know she prefers your presence to mine." Klaus said a smirk on his face.
Kol nodded and vamp sped out the house, he was looking forward to hearing what Davina had found out about the daring little wizard.
Kol appeared in front of Marcel's apartment, letting himself in he walked up the stairs to the front room where he could hear Davina's heartbeat; waltzing in he dropped down next to hear, peering at her phone, which she quickly pulled a way a blush covering her cheeks.
Staring dagger at Kol, she spoke, "What the hell are you doing here, and why are you looking at my phone! Don't you know it's rude to peer at peoples phones." she said punching him on the arm.
Kol laughed, "Just cause you're messaging your boyfriend doesn't mean I wont look," he said shaking his shoulders in a shrug.
She whacked him in the arm, "shut up you; and what the hell do you want I'm trying to relax here!" she said putting her phone away in her pocket so Kol couldn't sneak a peak again.
"Don't be so stroppy, Klaus has had his minion report you were having food with Harry earlier, and that the two of you were having a lovely little chat- for two hours. Now what could you possibly have been chatting about for that long eh?" he asked leaning back against the arm of the sofa.
Groaning Davina replied, "We were getting to know each other, I asked a whole bunch of questions on his magic, about all sorts of things, he happily complied and answered them, not that he had to. We didn't chat about anything personal if that's what you're after. Not that I'd tell you if he did anyway."
Kol leant forward quickly getting in her face, "So you're telling me you spent hours with him and you don't have any bit of information on him, nothing at all? Yeah somehow I don't believe that, and I very much doubt Klaus will be happy with the lack of information too. So I suggest you cough up even the tiniest of information." he said leaning in close.
Davina glared and sent a migraine towards him, "Who do you think you're speaking to like that Kol, I'm not some stupid little witch who'll take your threats, remember that Kol or next time I wont remind you so kindly." she said as she stood up so she stood in front of him.
"I suggest you leave, if you want information, I suggest you go to the source." she said and with a flick of her wrist Kol was flying out the now open front door, and suddenly Kol was no longer in the apartment with a door slammed in his face.
"Feisty little witch," he said laughing to himself as he got up off the floor.
He vamp sped back off to the French Quarter, he decided to do some spying himself, so he jumped to the roof of the hotel opposite the one Harry was staying in, sitting on the roof, he eyed the room at the front of the building Harry was stopping in, he decided to sit and watch from afar. He could see him moving around in his room, closing his eyes he listened in with his enhanced hearing, zoning in he heard the British wizard talking to someone, a female someone.
Meanwhile in Harry's bedroom.
Harry was on the phone to Luna, walking back and forth in the room, "You said to come here, that I'd find happiness, and so far all I've found is angry Original vamp and a hybrid king. This isn't what I signed up for Luna, they've got people following me around. Everywhere!. Literally I cannot leave this place without this idiot following me, he's definitely not good at being sneaky that's for sure." he said as he ran a hand through his hair.
Luna chuckled through the phone, "You've met them then, and did they know of you? Did they find themselves intrigued, what do you think of them?" she asked dreamily
"Well, yes they did know of me, and I'd guess so as the 'King' has his minion following my every move, and I guess they're okay." he replied.
"And what about their looks, were they as handsome as they're made out to be?" she asked already knowing the answer, she smiled to herself.
"More I'd say, gods why does it matter how insanely good looking they are Luna? It's not like I'm here for them in particular is it?" silence was his reward on the other end of the phone.
"Luna, please tell me you haven't sent me to the other side of the world to get laid." he asked exasperated.
Her melodious laugh was his reply, "And what if I had sent you there to meet them? Would you be disappointed, you know I see things Harry, and Fate gifted me with a vision, and that vision involved the three of you. The dark haired Vamp and the blonde hybrid, and for once Harry you were happy; the happiest I have ever seen you." she said with a dreamy smile on her face.
"Gods Luna, I seriously don't need this right now." he said as he dropped onto the bed a hand pressed against his face.
"Well when do you need it Harry, you know as well as I that you need to find happiness now, you've been on a downward spiral for months now, you need to get used the fact that you collected all the Hallows, and you as well as I know what that means, things are going to change for you drastically, you need to get better before it swallows you up, you can't stay like this," she said, "Please Harry just consider it, see where it goes, if it's not something you want to do, don't do it, just try. For me."
Harry breathed out a big sigh, "Fine, but if this goes pair shape I'm coming straight back. I don't need another fight on my hands Luna, I can't deal with another. Not now."
"And that's all I can ask of you, just try and let this run its course, I love you Harry and all I want to do is see you happy. That is all I want, that's all any of us want." her voice serious now.
Harry stood up again and walked towards the mirror which hung in his room, staring at his reflection he honestly couldn't see why anyone would wish to look at him twice, never mind finding happiness with two incredibly good looking Originals.
"Fine, I'll try." was his reply back.
"thank you, that's all I can ask of you. Its getting late, ring me if anything changes, or if you just want a familiar voice to talk to, take care Harry. We love you."
"Love you too, Luna. Goodnight take care." Harry said, and with that he pressed the end call button and sighed. He'd decided to let things run its course, if more happened between them, if they met and spoke again he'd try to be less hostile this time. 'God's why did it have to be him' was his only thought as he stripped off his clothes and climbed into bed.
