A small black owl slipped through into the large manor. It seemed to look around before finding its target and released the slip of parchment onto the boy's head. The boy stirred a moment but still slept as the small owl flew from the room to continue its hunt.
The large desert feeling human had requested he bring something valuable back, but only if he could do so without being captured or hurt. The owl landed on a mantel and slipped into the shadows as it looked around in curiosity. Loki took off again after a moment and flew into a large common room sort of area. The owl quickly found a spot on top of a bookcase and slipped onto it to remain hidden.
Loki walked along and noticed the hearth with a fire flickering within it along the far wall. The owl noticed the fairly large snake curled up in front of the fire its eyes closed. The owl twisted his head around and blinked slowly as it thought. He couldn't risk the snake catching onto him and possibly attempting to eat him. He wouldn't be able to return to his masters if that happened. Loki stepped to the edge of the bookcase his eyes scanning the room a few times trying to find something.
Loki's eyes locked onto a small table next to a large comfortable chair the faced the snake and fireplace. He noticed a strange ring-like shape that shimmered with many colors. The owl glanced again towards the snake. He took off and flew almost silently towards the small end table. He landed upon the table with the slightest tink as his claws hit the tabletop.
The snake twitched where it laid curled up. Loki froze and stared at the snake refusing to move until he was sure the snake was back to full sleep. Once he was sure he carefully stepped towards the ring and lowered himself to get a bit of a closer look at the metallic object. He stared at it for a moment before quickly picking it up in his beak and taking off back into the air. He rushed from the room and towards the owl exit as the door into the common room opened to allow a very disfigured person within.
"Nagini I am back, how was your nap?" The figure hissed as he moved over towards the chair the end table Loki had taken the ring from. The being glanced and frowned seeing the ring missing and soon released a scream of rage once he was unable to find his ring. Loki by this point was flying far from the manor his black wings silent with every flap.
Luna skipped down the stairs of her home a soft smile on her face. She paused as she stepped into the kitchen before smiling at her father who was standing staring out the small window. She stepped towards him wondering where his mind was at the moment. She slowly moved up to him and wrapped her arms around him. He stiffened for a moment then looked down and smiled at her. He placed a hand on the top of her head.
"Good morning Honeydew. What is up?" He asked softly. Luna smiled and continued to hold on to him.
"I'm just glad you are so calm about things father." Luna said and smiled softly. Her father smiled down at her then sighed softly.
"I have a few adventurous hunts planned. Gotta find that Snorkrack!" He declared with a grin. Luna giggled and hugged her father smiling.
"I'm glad you are trying daddy. I want you to hear something though if you are willing to give me a moment." Luna requested softly almost nervously. Xenophilius smiled at Luna before nodding his head.
"Sure my little Moonbeam. I will happily listen to what you want to play for me." He said, he followed Luna away from the kitchen and up towards his daughter's room with her. She moved over to a golden harp that caught her father's eyes as he looked it over.
"Moonbeam that looks lovely. Where did you get it?" He asked as he looked over the carvings within the frame. Luna just smiled and started to strum on the hand harp. Soon the notes of an ancient song began to fill the room as she played. Xenophilius started to relax as he listened to the music flow around the room. He smiled softly a feeling of lightness starting inside his heart. He blinks and his smile starts to brighten a bit as Luna finished playing and giggled at her father.
"Did you enjoy the music father?" She asked softly. She had hoped the song of healing would help her father's suffering.
"Yes, my little moonbeam. It was beyond beautiful. I'm so glad to have heard you play." He stated. Luna smiled brightly placing the harp down before hugging her father again.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Daddy." Luna said before slowly letting go of Xenophilius. Xenophilius looked at Luna for a moment then grinned.
"Moonbeam go get ready to go. We are going to head out to Diagon Alley for some ice cream." Xenophilius declared before heading out of Luna's room smiling. Luna nodded as she smiled brightly, glad her idea had worked. Her father had needed to be relieved of some of his grief and hopefully, he would continue to be relieved of the grief, at least till the summer where she could attempt this again.
Harry groaned as he slowly started to awake he frowned slightly feeling a weight on top of him. He blinked a couple of times only for his eyes to widen in shock. The eyes looking down at him filled with a glee he was not ready for.
"Kazukk'aah*!" Harry cried out before practically throwing the figure above him off and into a wall. There was a smacking sound as the figure hit the wall. The figure let out a groan before straightening himself out and chuckling.
"Why Master that was such an amusing reaction." Ghirahim's voice came from where he was now standing. Harry glared at Ghirahim as he slowly pulled himself out of the bed he had been sleeping in. Ghirahim blinked and looked Harry over a couple of times before grinning slowly his eyes sparkling with interest.
"Master that is such a wonderful view." Ghirahim purred before slowly taking a few swaying steps towards Harry. Harry narrowed his eyes before shifting feeling the slight chill in the air of the room.
"Ghirahim don't even think about it. You are not my type at all." Harry stated before grabbing his blanket and wrapping it about his body. He turned away from the pouting Ghirahim, before heading towards the dresser.
"Awww but we could have so much fun Master, and I am so bored again." Ghirahim half whined. Harry chuckled as he pulled clothing for the day out.
"Well, why don't you go check on how our little holder of courage is doing and in the process check on your former master's host. That should be a challenge for you to stay hidden." Harry suggested. Ghirahim tilted his head and pouted for a moment. Ghirahim began to turn when a sharp pop sounded behind Harry causing him to jump and spin only to see Dobby standing behind him bouncing in excitement.
"Master Harry Master Harry I have the reply now. Sorry for the wait." Dobby declared before holding out a parchment to Harry. Harry released the blanket he had wrapped about him to grab the parchment rapidly reading over the letter. He grinned then nodded.
"Thank you, Dobby you can return to Hogwarts and your job. I'm sorry I pulled you from it." Harry thanked Dobby before going to run out of the room forgetting about the shape he is presently in.
"Master, you may want to think before leaving the room." Ghirahim interrupted Harry causing him to pause and turn to look at the Demon Lord.
"What are you talking about Ghirahim? This can't wait!" Harry declared in irritation. Ghirahim tried to hide his laughter in the present situation.
"Well if you enjoy the breeze and possibly a few freakouts. I guess heading out as you are would be fine." Ghirahim shrugged then lifted his right hand up before snapping his fingers vanishing from his spot. Harry glanced down at himself with a sigh.
"This wouldn't have mattered if I was with my sisters." Harry muttered before quickly getting dressed while grumbling. He glanced over surprised that Ron hadn't woken up during any of his actions and once he was half-dressed reached over to his friend.
"Hey Ron, wake up it's morning." Harry called out. He reached over and shook Ron's shoulder for a moment. He watched as Ron rolled over and tried to pull his blanket over his head muttering. Harry chuckled and turned around to put on a shirt before heading down towards the kitchen. He hoped Sirius was up to talk about their plans for freeing him.
Remus looked up from his cup of tea as Harry hurried into the room glancing around. Molly was at the stove preparing the group's breakfast. The room was otherwise unoccupied and caused Harry to sigh then look at Remus.
"Hey, Remus where is Sirius?" Harry asked.
"I believe he hasn't gotten up yet." Remus replied. Harry nodded then turned to leave the kitchen. Molly looked up and over at Harry.
"Harry dear what are you doing?" Molly asked. Harry sighed and shook his head.
"Working on freeing my godfather." Harry stated as he hurried to the room Sirius slept within. He knocked on the door and waited for a bit. He listened then knocked a bit louder only to hear a moan from inside the room making Harry stiffen eyes going wide. He quickly started to back away from the room. He quickly slipped back to the kitchen before glancing over at Remus.
"Remus I think Sirius may need you up in his room for a bit." Harry said while keeping his voice as calm as he could. He sat down placing the sheet next to him before glancing over at Remus again. Remus frowned before standing and walking out of the room. Once Remus was out of the room Harry allowed a smirk to cross his features. He leaned back relaxing slowly as he started to smell the food Mrs. Weasley was cooking.
"So Harry how are things going?" She asked as she placed a plate full of food in front of Harry. Harry's golden eyes looked at the plate with a smile. It was a full english breakfast and his stomach decided at the moment to grumble with hunger. He chuckled before he started to eat tilting his head a bit to try and see if he could hear anything from his Godfather's room, after a bit he sighed sadly at not hearing anything until Hermione stumbled down the stairs a half look of horror on her face.
"Things are going okay I believe. Hey Hermione, what is with the look on your face?" He asked Hermione after replying to Molly's question. Hermione sat down, her eyes glazed.
"I… It is so loud upstairs… I think I.. Oh, Merlin, I don't want to even think about it." Hermione muttered. Harry watched for a moment then grinned widely realizing what was probably going on in Sirius' room. Hermione looked over at Harry and slowly her face morphed into horror.
"You, you are the reason for this? Why, how?" She sputtered. Harry started to full-on laugh at her reactions.
"Oh please, they so want each other. When I went to check on Sirius and heard him muttering Remus' name I couldn't just, not send Remus to him." Harry admitted. He glanced out of the kitchen wondering if Ron would be down soon. He shifted a moment then looked at Hermione.
"Did you see if Ron was waking at all before running away from those two going at it?" Harry asked as Hermione blushed brightly.
"I kinda didn't check. I needed to get away from the sounds fast." Hermione admitted. Harry chuckled and stood thinking about checking to see if Ron was up then paused and tilted his head having finished eating. He sighed after a moment and went back to sitting at the table.
"Oh well, I don't think it would be healthy for me to go up and check either. All the memories and I'm likely to suffer for hearing those two going at it." Harry muttered as he went through all the memories in his head. He licked his lips a moment. Hermione looked at Harry then started to laugh at him.
"You are getting blue balled! Oh, this is great." Hermione exclaimed causing Molly to drop what she was holding and spun to look at the two.
"Hermione watch what you are saying!" She declared causing Hermione to blush a bit more and now Harry to laugh. Hermione glanced around after a bit then looked at Harry.
"Where's that Demon Lord?" She asked. Harry blinked then nodded slowly and grinned a bit.
"I sent him to pester the little Hylian and spy on good 'ol Tommy-boy." Harry explained. Hermione stared at Harry and shook her head.
"Harry, are you sure that is a good idea? If he gets caught things could go really bad!" Hermione declared worry becoming obvious on her face. Harry sighed before the sound of someone falling reached their ears. Both jump up and race to check on what had happened only to freeze seeing a crumbled but obviously not injured Ron at the base of the stairs.
"Ron are you okay?" Harry asked as he helped the other boy from his tangled position. Ron nodded his face matching his hair color. He looked up at Harry then over at Hermione before glancing at the stairs again.
"I'm scared. That was horrifying. It's almost as bad as walking into my parents while they are having intimate time!" Ron declared. Harry raised an eyebrow before grinning a moment and leaning close to Ron's ear.
"Aww did poor Ronniekins see his parents going at it?" He asked very softly. Ron cried out and shuddered before attempting to push Harry away, his eyes screwed shut tightly.
"Shut up I don't want to think of it!" Ron cried out causing Harry to laugh even harder as Hermione looked between the two of them having missed Harry's whispered words to Ron. Harry kept laughing with a grin as Ron just stared at Harry. Hermione sighed and jumped while swinging her hand at the back of Harry's head. Harry yelped and turned to face Hermione with a slight pout.
"Hermione, I wasn't being mean." Harry kind of whined as she continued to glare at her best friend. Hermione just huffed and walked off as Harry groaned again. "My sisters would have just gotten a kick out of this."
"Mate your sisters from the past were an odd group compared to the majority of people." Ron pointed out softly causing Harry to laugh again.
"Oh for sure. At least half of them would be trying to spy on those two right now." Harry admitted. Ron started to blush at the thought before shaking his head.
"Why would they? I mean.. It's meant to be private." Ron asked. Harry blinked and shrugged.
"Think about it. My people were a group where males were rare. One in a hundred years, to them two men laying together is beyond exotic and odd. I remember hearing of it sometimes when I was young. A couple of my older sisters, finding a pair of male Hylian lovers and stalking them just to watch it. Then again it was a common thing for my sisters to lay together to calm physical urges when they did not wish a child." Harry said offhandedly. Ron paled then shook his head as he tried to get the comments under control in his mind.
"Harry, I almost wished I could see your people in that situation but then I remember the comments about them possibly being Amazons and what they would likely do on people spying on them. Even if they don't care to hold the same values to others." Ron shuddered. Harry laughed again before pulling his friend into the kitchen so he could eat.
Ron sat down and smiled at his mother as she put food in front of him. He watched Molly move to glare at Harry for a bit. Harry looked away almost bashfully which seemed odd with his very large frame. Ron started to giggle at this situation causing Harry's golden eyes to lock on the other boy.
"What is so funny?" Harry asked, causing Ron to fully crack up.
"You looking bashful is ridiculous." Ron declared stunning Harry with his words. He blinked a few times then joined Ron with his laughter not noticing as the others in the room joined them in laughter.
