AN: Just a quick warning for all of you. I've been fighting some writer's block and motivation lose. So if I don't gain back I won't be posting weekly anymore within a few weeks. I've been losing my backlog. I apologize for the situation.
A week passed and Harry grinned as he prepared to head into Hogsmeade. His plan to try and get something stronger than just butterbeer clear in his head. He frowned a bit and thought about Ghirahim. He had been killing Death Eaters quite well and it was now announced that the killings had only been those that had the mark on their wrist.
He frowned then grinned. He wondered what the demon would do within a candy shop and what Ghirahim might think of Blood Pops. He started to chuckle his eyes shining with curiosity and a bit a vicious fun. Though considering the way the magical community was Ghirahim walking around looking like himself could be very dangerous. Since most wizards would assume he was a dark creature, even though technically that was true.
He glanced around then snickered. He had to figure where to go to call Ghirahim to him, and what to glamour the vain demon like. Harry frowned as he thought on how to deal with Ghirahim. Harry started to chuckle his yellow eyes shining with mischief. He would only do a couple of very minor alterations on Ghirahim but would make Ghirahim believe he was going to make extreme changes like putting him into a plain low-quality wizard robe.
"Harry, what are you laughing about so loudly?" Ron finally asked pulling Harry's attention out of his thoughts. Harry smirked and chuckled a bit. He glanced at Ron then shrugged a bit.
"I am just figuring a few things out and planning for the day." Harry explained with a grin. He glanced at Hermione and saw her frowning at him. He shrugged then glanced at the teacher's table and snickered softly seeing Umbridge with green skin. Seems everyone was still getting after her for the information he had triggered to be revealed. He grinned at this and leaned back.
"How long till they send someone to actually investigate her?" Hermione asked. Harry frowned as he thought a bit before shrugging.
"Whenever the Minister is no longer able to interfere, or the uproar gets too big to allow him to keep power." Harry replied with a shrug. He watched the obviously annoyed face of Umbridge and chuckled a moment. He really hoped the outcome would be public so he could see it.
He stood from the table after a bit and turned to head out of the school. His eyes landing for just a moment on Draco. He smirked seeing the blue hoop in Draco's ear. He chuckled a bit again and wondered what his father's reaction would be to Draco's non-human traits. Harry chuckled at the thought. Once finished he turned and began to head out of the Great Hall then glanced back at his friends.
"I'll meet you two at the three broomsticks later." He said then left his friends behind. He was going to head out to the shrieking shack before summoning Ghirahim. He chuckled thinking over the form he planned for the Demon Lord and the joke glamour that he plans to pull first. He quickly reached the shrieking shack. He glanced about a bit then nodded.
"Ghirahim I wish to speak with you." Harry called out as he leaned against one of the trees around the shrieking shack. He waited allowing his eyes to close until he sensed the Demon Lord's presence and smiled slowly.
"Whatever can I do for my Master?" Ghirahim asked bowing in Harry's direction as extravagantly as possible. Harry watched him perform the bow before slowly rolling his eyes. Harry grinned before pulling out his wand and pointed it at Ghirahim.
"I want to get you to try a few things. Unfortunately, I can't let you wander around in your true appearance. The attention it will draw will cause far too many issues." Harry explained as he rapidly started to cast the glamours on the demon. Ghirahim flinched and glared at Harry.
"What would make you think I would want to try anything from mortals?" Ghirahim snarled then noticed the plain terrible black robe over his suddenly much chubbier form and squealed in horror. Harry was fighting laughter as Ghirahim looked at Him eyes wide.
"Change me back! I.. no this is awful this is terrible. Why?" Ghirahim exclaimed as he reached to try and pluck at the robe only for his fingers to faze through the material Ghirahim frowned then narrowed his eyes at Harry who slowly smirked before removing the illusion from the Demon Lord.
"Your face was worth the rage I now see. Look again Ghirahim. I'm not that mean." Harry said and watched as the demon snapped his fingers causing a full-length mirror to appear in front of him. He frowned seeing himself appear human. His skin was a very pale white only just within the human skin tones and his hair similarly was barely blonde. He had what looked like a silver button up shirt on underneath a long white robe with black and red diamond trim. The color was tall and shimmered as though metallic. He slowly turned around noticing everything seemed to be made of extremely high-quality materials. He noticed the tall white boots on his feet and nodded.
"This I can live with. Thank you, Master, for not making me go out like some slob of a mortal." Ghirahim exclaimed with a smile. Harry nodded then started to walk towards Honeydukes.
"Yes well with your love for blood I was sure you'd enjoy the blood pops a sweet that can be purchased here." Harry said as Ghirahim followed with a frown on his face. Harry chuckled and glanced back.
"Why would humans make a sweet based off of blood?" Ghirahim questioned. Harry chuckled as he kept walking calmly.
"I believe it was originally an attempt to make something for vampires. It just seems to sell enough to make it worthwhile to keep in stock." Harry explained. Ghirahim frowned a moment Harry just watched as Ghirahim thought on his explanation before nodding slowly. Ghirahim looked over the robe a bit with a frown then looked at Harry again.
"Does so much of my lovely skin have to be covered?" He asked causing Harry to chuckled a bit.
"Wizards don't like the idea of revealing to much skin. Don't know why I find it ridiculous. I did even before my memories returned." Harry replied. They continued walking along soon entering the town. Ghirahim noticed many people turning to look at him surprised at his appearance. Ghirahim walked proudly ignoring all those around him. Harry held back in chuckles as he watched Ghirahim drawing all the attention.
Harry stopped at Honeydukes and glanced over at Ghirahim who was smiling and charming a few of the women who were wandering around. Harry blinked in surprise at his actions wondering what the demon lord was playing at. He shook his head a bit then rolled his eyes. Really the demon lord was very hard to figure out at times. He watched as Ghirahim leaned closer to one of the adult females by him and whispered softly into her ear as she nodded. He then turned and walked passed Harry then into the candy shop. Harry slipped behind Ghirahim still frowning a bit.
"What was that about Ghirahim?" Harry asked causing Ghirahim to smirk a bit.
"My next mark. She is covered in the magic of that strange mark all that idiots servants have." Ghirahim explained quietly. Harry immediately froze with Ghirahim's explanation.
"I see. I see, so you were trying to get a set up to have some fun with her and see her alone." Harry said softly. He moved through the store picking up a few different candies. He picked up a box of every flavor beans and then a full box of blood pops. He moved to the counter before paying then glanced at Ghirahim who was looking around confusion clearly on his face. Harry watched as he stared at the chocolate frog boxes and seemed to shudder for a moment. Harry grinned and opened the box of every flavor bean then held it out.
"Take one and try it. After I will give you the one I am sure you will like the most." Harry told Ghirahim. Ghirahim looked at the small box and raised an eyebrow at the name written on it. He scoffed shaking his head.
"There is no way these fit the name." Ghirahim stated before dropping a speckled grey bean into his hand. He glanced at it then quickly placed it into his mouth. Very quickly after the bean entered his mouth Suddenly he doubled over coughing and gagging his eyes going wide with disgust.
Harry watched as Ghirahim started to run his fingers over his long tongue trying to get the taste off of his tongue. Harry started to laugh causing the demon to glare at him as he kept on. Harry pulled out a sucker from the box of Blood pops he had bought and handed one to him.
"Here this should help." Harry offered. Ghirahim looked at the new candy suspiciously even as he scrapped again at his tongue. The taste still not leaving his mouth. Obviously not wanting to trust Harry again Ghirahim slowly opened the sucker then placed it on his tongue nervously only to blink in surprise. Ghirahim frowned as he started to suck more on it. He started to grin as he looked at Harry who was smirking. Ghirahim stood straight glaring at Harry.
"If I didn't need you to help kill my former Master I would make you scream." Ghirahim snarled. Harry chuckled darkly and slowly moved forward.
"It would be an interesting challenge to see who between us would win in such a situation, as I still remember my time of being under his influence." Harry stated and watched as Ghirahim slowly pulled the stick out of his mouth after he finished the sucker. Harry handed him the box then turned to leave the store.
"You were right about these. Still surprised humans would make such a thing even with your reasoning." Ghirahim admitted. Harry shrugged before slowly stretching knowing the demon lord was following him as he left the candy shop. Harry moved to a fence watching Ghirahim eating what he figured was the third blood pop so far.
"Like I said things are strange nowadays. I mean you should look on the muggle side and some of the popular styles of clothing." Harry stated. Ghirahim blinked a few times and frowned.
"Have things really changed that much?" Ghirahim asked.
"Yes they have but still humanity is xenophobic and often racist." Harry explained. He looked up and blinked seeing a few other students moving towards him and Ghirahim. Harry quickly spotted the green and silver ties and groaned.
"What you don't want to mess with the sky child? But that is so much fun!" Ghirahim exclaimed seeing Harry's reaction to the approaching group of Slytherins. Harry sighed and rubbed at his face.
"I'm trying not to antagonize the chosen of Farore. I'd rather not be stabbed again. Really he has far to much luck and unwillingness to give up to be healthy, even if right now all he is is a jerk." Harry replied. Ghirahim threw his head back laughing and wrapped his arms around the much larger Harry again and actually nuzzled his nose into Harry's neck causing Harry to stiffen a bit.
"Oh, Master you are being far to nice. You really should go with some of those dark desires I know you have." Ghirahim whispered into his ear as Pansy who was following Draco started to laugh.
"Oh look Harry is showing signs of being a poof!" She cackled. Harry's eyes narrowed and he lightly pushed the human appearing Ghirahim away from him and started to move towards the Slytherin girl. He didn't even notice Draco stiffening and preparing to move in the way of Harry.
"I'm no poof, and even if I was that is not something worthy of an insult you foolish foolish girl, then again maybe I should give you a lesson that no one else seems willing to do." Harry growled. He started to move towards the girl who sneered at him catching Draco beginning to move from the corner of his eye and causing him to freeze up.
Harry took a deep breath before turning away and pinching at the bridge of his nose for a moment. He took a few deep breaths then turned to face the Slytherins again. His eyes still narrowed at Pansy then he glanced again at Draco whose hands were being held in fists. Harry smirked before removing the glamour from Ghirahim knowing that most of these Slytherin's had seen him before.
"There your disguise is gone now Ghirahim and though I do not mind my own sex as bed partners I really don't see you that way. You are a bit too tall for my tastes. They run along the lines of shorter lithe and blond." Harry said hiding a smirk at the small lie to freak Draco out with. Draco paled and stepped away from Harry then quickly grabbed the back of Pansy's jacket noticing she was about to mouth of at Harry again and began to drag her away motioning for the rest of the Slytherins to follow.
"Pansy shut up." Draco growled in irritation before glancing back at Harry. Harry seeing the glance winked at Draco causing the other boy to stiffen again. Ghirahim started to cackle seeing Draco's reactions then glanced at Harry as Harry himself started to laugh violently once Draco and the other Slytherins were out of hearing range.
"Oh, that was perfect. Thank you for setting that situation up so wonderfully Ghirahim. I would never have seen that level of fear on Farore's chosen otherwise." Harry laughed. Ghirahim pouted a bit at Harry as he watched him laughing.
"Is that all I am good for Master. Giving you a laugh?" Ghirahim pouted. Harry groaned a bit then glared a moment at Ghirahim.
"Ghirahim, you are a trusted ally, but I am not ready for any type of relationship. That is the only reason I do not respond to your advances." Harry explained as he stretched. He slowly stood and moved over to Ghirahim placing his hands on the Demon Lord's shoulders. He stared at Ghirahim trying to convey what he meant. Trying to find a balance within himself was not an easy thing after all.
"But that is so boring Master, and I've been left alone for so long trapped in a sword." Ghirahim exclaimed.
"Yes, which is why, me acting on your desires would be taking advantage of you. I may be your Master now but I will not take advantage of anyone in that way." Harry stated. Ghirahim frowned looking at Harry and obviously thinking about what he said before slowly shaking his head.
"Ugh, mortals! You are all so annoying!" Ghirahim exclaimed as he started to throw a bit of a temper tantrum. Harry watched with a slight smirk at Ghirahim's actions. Really for a Demon Lord, Ghirahim was extremely temperamental and childish at times.
"Ghirahim you are acting like a child denied their favorite toy. Calm down already." Harry said. Ghirahim growled in irritation before teleporting away quickly. "such a child."
Harry placed the candies he had bought away before heading back into the main area of Hogsmeade. He glanced around as he walked trying to decide if he wanted to attempt that drink or not. Really it depended on if the Tavern owners had been warned about his changed appearance or not on if he could get a drink.
Harry stretched before walking back into Hogsmeade with a slight smile. He took a deep breath before pausing and glancing out towards the school again. He stared at the castle before smiling a bit towards the building. The magic that was used in this world was of such a great verity. He walked along the old cobble roads and laughed a bit. Some things about the wizarding world were so familiar yet other things were so stupid.
Harry smiled as he walked seeing many of the other students laughing and running around the streets of Hogsmeade. He paused as he sported the Sheikah Ravenclaw entering a store he had never gone into before. He looked at the store and blinked seeing it sold jewelry and trinkets. He had never noticed the store before but then again things like that hadn't interested him before. He slipped away not wanting to freak the girl out with his presence but wanting to look around the store a bit. He leaned against the wall of the building shutting his eyes and listening for the store's door to open. Each time it opened he opened his eyes to see if the Sheikah girl was leaving.
Harry smiled when the Sheikah girl left the store and wandered away. He moved into the store and started to slowly look around. There were many vases and pictures around the walls. There were also large display cases filled with all types of bracelets necklaces and rings. Many of them were of lower quality obviously being meant for students.
Harry snorted at some of the gaudy pieces as he slowly looked around. Some were okay and many had some interesting magic on them. He smiled as he found a few gems here and there. He paused at some of the unset gems and lists of what could be placed on them. He saw some chunks of amber and other stones before reaching up and rubbing at the top of his forehead. He growled and shook his head.
"Is there something I could help you with sir?" A voice called from the counter. Harry faced the older gentlemen and nodded.
"I'm just looking at the moment, sir. I have never been in here before." Harry admitted before moving to the next display case. He could feel the store clerk watching him and frowned a bit. Really he wasn't a thief anymore though this place did tempt him to attempt theft again. He kept looking around not really spotting anything worth the attempt though.
He frowned after awhile finding no sign of power gems. Really it was strange had the knowledge of how to make the gems been lost. He frowned as he left the store. He tried to remember how to make one himself. The storage of magical energy and enhancement of it had been an item he had always had. In fact, his Gerudo headdress had always had one within it.
He approached the Three Broomsticks and smiled seeing Hermione and Ron talking to each other. Actually, if anyone would know if Power stones were known of or still made it would probably be Hermione with her desire for knowledge. He hurried over to them and quickly picked Hermione up into a hug from behind causing her to squeal and Harry to laugh.
"Harry put me down!" Hermione cried out as Harry kept grinning.
"Now why should I do that. This is far more amusing." Harry said as he swung Hermione around. Hermione squealed again and beat her hands gently on the arms about Harry. Harry laughed before placing her down finally. Hermione narrowed her eyes as she spun to face Harry who was smirking.
"Harry you are terrible!" Hermione declares.
"Why thank you." Harry replied with a slightly flamboyant bow taking as much inspiration from Ghirahim's actions as he could. Hermione starts to laugh as did Ron watching his reactions. Harry smirked wrapped his arms around his friends and turned to face the pub.
Together all three entered but Harry quickly separated from them and headed for the counter while his friends found seats. He smiled gently to Rosmerta leaning over the counter a bit attempting to be friendly and not intimidating.
"Hello madam. I was wondering if I could have a firewhiskey and three butterbeers." Harry requested smiling. Harry watched as Rosmerta's eyes roved over Harry's form as he was wearing his wizarding robe open and showing the clothing beneath that didn't really hide his form. The flustered witch soon nodded and quickly got him the ordered drinks which he smiled to the woman at and carried to the table his friends were sitting at.
He placed a drink before each of his friends then sat with two in front of him. He watched Hermione's face become very disapproving at the sight of his 2 drinks. He laughed before slowly lifting the mug of Firewhiskey up and sniffed at it a moment.
"Oh god, this stuff stinks... It smells nothing like I remember the alcohol's of home smelling like." Harry said softly as he looked at the glittering golden liquid within the mug. He took a deep breath lifted it and took a sip. He struggled but swallowed quickly and shuddered violently his face showing disgust.
"Well, you definitely didn't like that." Ron said and reached out to take the mug from Harry hoping to try a sip before freezing at Hermione's withering look. Ron pouted but stopped reaching for the mug as Harry shuddered again before picking up the butterbeer and drinking it quickly.
"So was it everything you dreamed of?" Hermione asked with some sarcasm.
"No, it wasn't. That was awful and nothing that I remember. I mean it is even worse than some of the stuff the Hylians tried to make." Harry growled. Hermione nodded as she sipped at her drink and watched Harry's obvious annoyance.
"Was it really that different?" Ron asked. Harry nodded and looked at the mug that was still almost full with the Fire Whiskey.
"Yes yes it is and it is terrible. How do people drink something that is almost pure burn with no rich full flavor?" Harry declared. Hermione and Ron laughed as they enjoyed the end of the day at Hogsmeade within the pub.
