Harry had immediately been grounded from using his Grimoire for two months after using it to create a large crystal golem from stones and pecious metals from his Grandfathers gemstone collection. Hey, he was a curious Eleven year old he should be allowed to experiment! His father and Grandpa on the other hand has declared what he did reckless and irresponsible and until he learned to be responsible with his book it would be held in Paimons personal office safe.
"I cannot believe you would be so irresponsible with your Grimoire." Stolas scolded the young parrot as they where surrounded by pieces of broken crystal golem.
"It was just an experiment I didn't know-" Harry started.
"That's right you DIDNT KNOW." Stolas said sternly. "You STUPID child. Your not supposed to perform random spells without concentrated study first. You know our rules!" Stolas yanked the book from Harry. "And when you can prove you are responsible enough you will get this back. Father." He handed the book to Paimon who opened his wall safe and put the book inside.
"Harry, I agree with your father." Paimon told the young parrot. "Stolas experimented with his own Grimoire when he was your age but he was never so reckless as to attempt an automatation spell."
"Harry, go home. Now." Stolas orders angrily, creating a portal with his asmodean crystal ring. "We'll discuss this later, now I have to help Father clean this up." A crystal and gold encrusted arm started floating with magical aura and breaking apart.
Harry huffed and stomped through to his bedroom.
"And STAY THERE!" Stolas demanded before closing the portal.
Harry angrily blew a raspberry where the portal had been.
It has been so cool! He had gathered the necessary materials and drawn the various runes in unbaptized infants blood as instructed. His Golem had been perfect! Until it started destroying Grandfathers garden...and devouring the statuary. And two servants...it was a very exciting afternoon.
"Fudge it!" Harry shouted with a weird look after. "What the Heck? Why can't I fudging swear!"
A small portal opened. "I know you enjoy swearing so now I have temporarily cursed you to prevent you from swearing." Stolas said sternly. "If you can't be responsible with your Grimoire how can I trust you to be responsible with your language?" Stolas asked smugly before closing the portal window.
Harry cawed with rage. Throwing his globe of Earth at the portal as it vanished and watching it break.
"What's going on here?" Octavia came in. "Why's your globe broken?" Octavia waved a hand and Harry's globe repaired itself.
"Dad Fudging took away my Fudging swearing ability! And my Fudging Darned Book! The Dumb Doggy!"
Octavia slapped the back of Harry's head. "Don't call Dad names. If he took your book it wasn't for no just cause. What did you do?"
"I was just experimenting with an Automatation Spell making a crystal Golem." Harry said.
"Where you successful?" She asked.
"Yes it was perfect! I couldn't wait to show dad and grandpa!"
"Could you control it?" Octavia asked next.
"Well...er...not exactly it may have eaten some statues in Grandfathers garden...and two servants." Harry admitted.
"This Golem. It needed materials to be structured from right? What materials did you use?"
"Gemstones and precious metals from Grandpas collection it was all I could find." Harry said.
"So not only where you being a little terror your also a little thief too." Octavia said. "No wonder dad took your Grimoire I would have too."
Harry started tearing up. Then he started crying.
He had never been yelled at by dad before.
"Yes it doesn't feel good to get yelled at does it?" Octavia asked as she sat with him on his bed.
"They took my Grimoire!" He bawled into her arms.
Harry didn't care if he couldn't swear. He cared that the grownups took his book away. It was like they took part of his soul and locked it away.
"Hey. I know something that would be cool." Octavia said. She went back to her room. "When I was a wee little owlette."
"Dad would say you still are." Harry sniffles.
"Dad told me about a meteor shower destined to pass by Earth tonight. Every one thousand years, Azethoths Tears pass by earth. What do you say we go and just have a day? No grownups, no weird threesomes just you and me." Octavia suggested.
"But how? We need a portal spell and Dad and Papa keep their Asmodean crystals under magical signature lock."
"Hmm." Octavia thought. "I have an idea." She said.
She picked Harry up and he hung off her neck after they opened the door to IMPs office to see Millie relaxing as Blitzo drank coffee and accepted a neck massage from Moxxie.
"Sir if we can't trust Loona as of receptionist why should our clients trust us to slaughter their enemies?"
Octavia sneaked by the walls. Sucked around a corner. Only to see Loona looking right at them. Then just going back to her computer. They made their way to Blitz's office.
"It's in the wall safe behind the framed picture." Harry said as he'd seen Blitzo put the book away.
Octavia found the safe then asked. "You don't by any chance know the pass code do you?"
"Try 1234." Harry shrugged. "Blitz isn't that creative."
"Ugh I can't believe Dad and Papa sleep with this idiot." Octavia said as she pressed 1234. She opened it to the portal spell. "Hmm. I know! There's a meteor shower tonight!" She said. "Take us to see the stars!" She ordered the spell and Harry Held onto her arm as the portal spell flowed underneath them in an eldritchian light.
"Uh Sir." Moxxie said.
"The Fuck?" Blitzo said as cucumber slices fell from his eyes.
Blitzo Moxxie and Mille burst in to see Harry holding his sisters arm looking upset and Octavia holding the book as led her baby brother through the portal.
"Aw shit Aw fuck what the FUCK am I gonna tell Stolas and Andrealphus?!" Blitzo demanded as he paced the office.
"Well sir they do seem to like you so maybe you could-"
"Okay Moxxie my dick is Good enough to bang two Goetia Princes regularly, but it is not THAT good what do I just call up Stolas and say Hi Stolas-"
And the scene transitions to...
"Your son and daughter stole the book and we have no fucking idea where they used the portal spell to and we have no way of getting any of them back. K? Good talk bye!" Blitz hangs up the phone and nervously stares at Moxxie. "Ya know that went better than I thought-"
Stolas licked the door into Moxxie in pure demon form "BLITTTTZZZZZ!!!!"
"Where am I? Harry?" Octavia asked before going "Eww!" At someone puking up a condom and what looked like semen onto a Star in the ground.
"Ah!" Octavia said as she grabbed the Grimoire. She bumped into a fat clown in full make up.
"Hey! Get you and your stupid costume offa my corner you dumb bitch!"
"Yah!"
He collapsed after a cry of pain as Harry stabbed him through the eye from behind and the clown fell to the ground. Come on!" Harry said as a crowd gathered around the dying clown asshole and he grabbed Octavia by the arm and they ran across the street and darted through alleyways and hid behind garbage cans. They caught their breath.
"Alright were in the Living World Fudging Sweet!" The blue parrot boy deadpanned. "For Fudgings sake Dad really?!" He shouted in the air. "Do you have a human disguise?" Harry asked his sister as she sat on the ground next to a filthy dumpster.
"No, dad never taught me to use the human disguise spell. He was adamant about me avoiding the Living World." Octavia admitted.
Harry's eye sparkles and he floated off the ground as he transformed in what the humans would call a magical girl style and suddenly Octavia was staring at a pale, blue haired aristocratic looking human boy in Harry's clothes.
"I'll teach you the Human disguise spell later." Harry said. "I suppose for now we could pretend your my cosplaying sister." He suggested. "Ooo!" Harry saw a pair of green aviator sunglasses at a stand and stole them. He put them on his head with a smile. Reminding him of his second sight eyes. "Humans are dumb enough to buy it."
"Er right." Octavia said nervously.
"Hey." Harry said to Octavia. "Nothing bass gonna happen to us." He reassured his big sister. "I have you remember?" Harry said with a smile. "Did you remember to bring any money?" The disguised boy asked next.
"Uh..." Octavia drones on. "Damn." She said.
"I got an idea!" Harry said
"Come on step right up step right up don't be shy! Ask me any question any at all about major historical events yet to come!" Octavia held out a dirty old top hat they found for donations.
"Who's the next President?" A MAGA hat wearing woman with her kids asked.
"Ivanka Trump will be the United States first female President in 2028." Harry revealed. Technically it was true in an alternate Timeline Harry had witnessed while Scouring the cosmos. She also does several highly unethical and illegal things to the point even the Republican Party couldn't ignore it anymore.
Several Trump fans approved and put money in the hat Harry and Octavia had found in the dumpster. Harry was making psychic predictions using things he's seen Scrying through the cosmos with his Grimoire.
Mostly he was just bullshitting his way through it, but human tourists where stupid enough to give them several hundred of their hard earned dollars for them to have a really nice day together.
After an unhealthy, no parents teen lunch of greasy double bacon cheeseburgers, loaded fries and fried apple pies washed down with sugary sodas, Harry and Octavia truly explored LA.
They took a selfie together in front of several spots. but as the day went on, Harry's face started being more and more sad. He was thinking about earlier and being called stupid by their Dad. His stuffy clothes replaced with Lakers merch and various varieties of anime clothes including an oversized jersey shirt so he could grow into it and a yellow pair of jeans with Pikachu tails and ears designed on them. Harry sent his clothes home with a spell when he got new ones.
Meanwhile...
"I cannot believe this how can you be so irresponsible?! Do you just let anyone in off the street take infinitely powerful artifacts?!" Stolas demanded as he paced in front of Andrealphus and the IMP crew.
"Dearest calm down." Andrealphus suggested.
"Don't you tell me to calm down!" Stolas said tearing our head feathers. "Our children are in the Living World Satan knows where they could be and Via doesn't even know the Human Disguise Spell!" The owl pulled out more feathers.
Andrealphus brought Stolas close to his chest petting his head as the owl whimpered and bled slightly from ripping out his feathers so harshly, Worried for his children. "Why would they do this? Where did they go?" Stolas asked.
Loona snuffed. "Well it reeks of urine and desperation so there's only one place they could have gone." She sniffed again then held her nose in disgust. "L.A." Everyone stared at her. Which she noticed. "What?" She demanded.
Stolas created a Portal and they went into the Human world.
"Huh this isn't that different from Hell." Blitzo said as Stolas and Andrealphus walk through.
"Alright if we're gonna do this the old fashioned way we're gonna need disguises."
Stolas Andrealphus And Loona Eyes all twinkled And they transformed. Stolas and Andrealphus became aristocratic looking human males. Andrealphus nose was sharper than Stolas and his ice blue eyes where walnuts shaped. He had purple eyelid paint over his eyelids and light blue hair/eyebrows.
Stolas' Human form was an aristocratic looking human with eyeshadow under his eyes dripping in the same way his markings on his demon form face pointed downward.
"I don't suppose you could conjure us up a few of those could ya Stols?" Blitzo asked as Andrealphus wipes dust from his clothes.
"Sadly no." Stolas said. "Unfortunately without my Grimoire my powers are rather limited in the living world."
"Can't memorize your fuckin' spells huh?" Blitzo turned away.
"Oh your memory's so great?" Stolas clapped back. "What's HIS phone number?" Stolas waved his arms toward Moxxie who looked hopefully at Blitz.
"Fuck you."
"Exactly." Stolas said with a smirk as he took Andrealphus by the hand and they walked down a street.
Andrealphus has never heard his husband be so catty with anyone before it was refreshing. He swore after the spankings and groundings of their children he was gonna grease up the-
"Ooo." Stolas spotted some red sunglasses and put them on his head reminiscent of his Second Sight Eyes.
They spotted a costume store and Blitz walked out with a wig and two overly large ears. Andrealphus snickered in his hand as his imp lover said "Well what'd ya think?"
"The ears are a bit much darling." Andrealphus said honestly.
"Ahhhh! Look everyone it's YouTube Star Brandon Rogers!"
"The fuck?" Blitzo asked as he looked up and saw a human celebrity he very much resembled with the wig he picked out. "Shiiiiiiit."
"Oh dear." Stolas said as he saw the billboard with the human comedian on it advertising his guest spot on a sitcom.
Humans crowded and fought to get close to Blitz.
"Loona! Stolas a little help please?!" Blitz said in panic as he tried to escape the crowd.
Loona punched out a few people and kicked down a kid or two. She gouged someone's eyes out with her nails and knocked another sucker away from Blitz but it was useless.
Andrealphus was confused. He'd never been around humans at all before. And from that instance of confusion he was overwhelmed by the crowd until Stolas pulled him from the crowd to safety. They kissed. A simple appreciative peck on the lips.
Suddenly a black van pulled up into the area and a fat human eating gummies came out.
"We've been looking everywhere for you Mr. Rogers it's time for your Guest Spot on Sweetie in the House." Large guards grabbed ahold of Blitzo and dragged him toward the van despite Blitzos protests.
"Excuse me." Stolas spoke up. "I'm Mr. Rogers Agent."
"And I'm his publicist." Andrealphus added. It wouldn't do to be separated from his husband in a strange world. "We're fairly sure you can't just-"
They where interrupted by two guards grabbing them and picking them up.
"Ooo you are strong." Stolas said.
They where thrown in the van with Blitz.
"Blitz we don't have time for this. Harry and Via could be anywhere." Stolas said as he cuddled up to Andrealphus. "They could be in danger."
Andrealphus responded to his husbands distress by pulling him close.
Watching his lovers worry for their Holden made Blitzos own parental instincts kick into overdrive. They needed backup. He headbutted the window out with his horns.
"Loona sweetie! Go find Harry and Via! We'll catch up later when we can!" Blitz shouted to Loona who was still beating up Humans in the celebrity thirsty crowd.
Loona flopped him off with both hands.
"Great sweetie! Way to be a team player! The kids are in great hands." Blitz reassures the two demons in disguise.
"Nono no NO!" I can't be on a sitcom!" Blitz shouted a She was dragged into the studio with Stolas and Andrealphus.
"Shoulda had an ego crisis BEFORE signing the contract." The producer scolded Blitzo.
"Look I don't even know the fucking lines you fucking idiot." Blitz protested.
"That's why God invented teleprompters." The producer said pointing to a TelePrompTer that read God Kill Me Now. Before electrocuting it's operator.
"Oh Satan I can't do this. I-I haven't performed since-"
"Dearest Blitzy." Andrealphus piped up having not said much since they came to the Living World. "If your performance on stage is half as it is good in BED, I'm sure you'll leave your audience BREATHLESS." Andrealphus said this last part in Blitz ear licking it.
Blitz gulped nervously.
"Break a leg Darling." Andrealphus said as he pushed Blitzo onto the stage and closed the fake door.
Lights came on and Sweetie in the House' theme started playing.
After a half hearted attempt at reading the TelePrompTer and having his audience laugh in response, Blitzo was encouraged and went to his usual humors of blood and entrails everywhere.
He smiled when Stolas let out his usually hooty laugh. Andrealphus chuckled himself st the imagery.
"Uggy that's the fifth couch you've piddled on this year! What am I going to do with you?" Blitzo recited the lines from the TelePrompTer for the scene which was about giving a beloved pet up for adoption.
"I'll take Uggy!" Came the child star of the show with a bright perky smile on her face. "I'll be happy to adopt him and give him all the love and attention he needs!"
"Yeah...adopt him.."
Blitz was looking at a group of Hellhound orphans. "Aww their all so cute! And sad..."
"This one is a strapping young lad who should excel at whatever tasks you train him for." The warden said as she stood in front of a very ugly pug hellhounds cell.
"Uggh." Blitz recoiled. "Sorry, not really in the lookout for Uggos. I'm looking more along the lines for something family friendly."
"A gift for the wife huh? Not to worry sir. We have a fine selection of other Hounds."
"Whose that?" Blitzo had spied an older Hellhound girl who looked relatively normal about to be attacked by a younger Hellhound boy with a nail bat. She growled at him defensively and kicked him st the cell bars knocking him out.
"Oh her? That's Loona. A real nightmare. She won't be our problem anymore next month when she ages out of the system. A pity, probably won't amount to much of anything."
Blitz felt his heart break as he saw the girl curl up in her corner cot and start crying.
"Don't you touch her you little anal fissure." Blitzo hissed to the child star who looked nervous.
"Uh Ronnie, maybe you should give the puppy to-"
"NO!!!" Blitz bitch slapped he actress away knocking her wig to the floor. "You can't have her you don't deserve her!"
The audience was prompted to laugh.
"Oh you think this is funny assholes? She's not fit to be a mother I saw her doing lines of coke in her dressing room!" Blitz pointed to the child star inching away from the set.
The producer motioned for the Guards. They surrounded Blitz.
Andrealphus had to do something. "My client has a well documented Anxiety Disorder-"
"I'll NEVER REPLACE HER!" Blitz shouted as he was surrounded. He pulled out his flintlock and BANG! One of the guards dropped. The audience shrieked. An actor tried to restrain him but Blitz elbowed him and threw him over his shoulder before also shooting him shouting "PERVERT!" Blitz was surrounded and hanged up on.
"I'm coming Bliiitz!" Stolas shouted as he tripped over the railing from the audience seats.
Andrealphus facepalmed himself and let out a frozen breath that swept through the audience and the group attacking Blitz. He then outstretched his palm and Wintery winds swept through the room with snowflakes and icicles flash freezing all humans in place.
"Wow." Blitz said looking around. "Ya couldn't have done that before?"
"We needed a low profile and you where actually quite stunning while performing." Andrealphus said. He blew another icy breath at the TelePrompTers and they short circuited. "Come on, let's leave and find the children." He grabbed his blushing husband by the arm and lead him away with their imp lover. Leaving the studio and frozen humans inside to burn.
Loona was looking for the Prince and Princess while enjoying a Starbucks coffee and exploring L.A. she found a cool poster outside a business and took a selfie posting it to her Sinstagram. She scrolled through her feed and spat out some coffee seeing their intern in Human Disguise and his sister in a picture. She clicked on the sisters profile GothChick17. Filled with pictures of her and Harry's day in L.A.
At first they looked like they where having a good time. Tricking humans out of their money, going to tourist traps and shopping, eating lunch and going on tours. Then Harry's face started looking sad. Like he was reflecting on things.
Loona looked at her coffee, crushed the cup and threw it to the ground as she ran off retracing their steps. Stopping someone who looked like Octavia wearing her clothes but was human.
She finally reached their final destination. The L.A. Observatory.
"Do you ever think that your not really part of the family?" She heard Harry ask Octavia as they just stared up at smog. Harry sat cross legged on a stone balcony.
"Why would you say that?" Octavia asked. Just cause Dad yelled at you for doing something dumb and nearly destroying Grandfathers garden?"
"Via I come from the Living World." Harry revealed to his sister."
"What?" Octavia asked.
"Yep. Stolas told us all about it." Loona dropped her disguise as she walked up the steps to join them. "Apparently his human mom was gonna die somehow so she wanted Harry to be safe and away from some kind of threat so she did a shit ton of research, discovered some kind of human transmutation spell, made the necessary sacrifices, painted on the runes and turned Harry into a demon sending him to Hell." Loona tried to light a cigarette but her lighter just flickered. Octavia got her attention and her index finger lit up with pink fire. "Some story." She said as the Hellhound blew smoke.
Harry let his disguise drop. "I feel so stupid." Harry said. "I just wanted to show Dad and Grandpa how strong I was and here they are treating me like a stupid child."
"Newsflash, you are a stupid kid." Loona said. "Your gonna make mistakes in life growing up. But you should always know that your Dads love you."
"Right that's why they sent you to come get us." Harry clapped back. "He'd rather spend his time going going down on Blitz."
"Going down?" Loona asked in confusion. "Oh you mean sucking him off."
"Please don't give me that mental image." Octavia pleaded pulling her hat down over her eyes.
"What's up with your language?" Loona asked casually.
"Dad took my swearing away and I suppose that also extended to adult language in general." Harry said irritably folding his arms in frustration. "So where are they? Waiting at home with their fancy wines waiting to yell at me some more?"
"Their down there somewhere." Loona said, pointing out to the city."
"Both of them?" Harry asked.
"Their looking for you two." Loona said. You know your lucky your Gramps just offed the raging bitch. Divorces can get messy. Having a family is new to Lord Andrealphus too but I can tell he's genuinely trying, So is Stolas. Their navigating a new marriage while raising a preteen and a teenager. So cut your dads some slack huh? At least their trying. That's more important than you think."
The She-Hound held out her hand and Octavia gave her the book as Harry gave her a big hug. Loona smiled and rubbed the parrot boys head.
Clicking on the backspace button to respell Hot Topic as a particular spot of interest for their goth daughters and possibly the parrot boy if he was with them. A portal appeared before them and Loona walked through.
"Loona sweetie I'm so sorry I'd never replace YOU!!!" He shouted the last part as Loona kicked him in the nuts as he jumped toward her to hug her.
"You're good." She said with a smile.
Stolas and Andrealphus dropped their disguises and rushed to embrace their children. Stolas hugging Harry tight and Andrealphus embracing Octavia.
"Dad I'm sorry about the Golem-"
"Forget the Golem I'm just so glad your alright!" Stolas said as he brought Harry close again. "What in Hell would possess you two to do such a thing?"
"I was so upset. You took my Grimoire Dad. I don't know what yours is like for you but mine...it's like you took part of my soul away." Harry said. "It literally hurts to be away from it like that dad." Harry said as he clung to Stolas' clothes. "It hurts in my soul." He whimpered.
Stolas had pause. He had never had his Grimoire taken away like this growing up. Perhaps there was some form of spiritual bonding between Grimoire and owner he and Father where unaware of.
"Harry, perhaps Father and I where a bit hasty in seizing your Grimoire." Stolas admitted. "It's not a sin to be magically curious at your age and want to experiment."
Blitzo coughed. Making Andrealphus glare at the Imp.
"I just want you to be safe and study your Grimoire with someone who has...experience?" Stolas asked Andrealphus who put a palm to his mouth with a giggle and Octavia gagged grossed out as she got the joke. Andrealphus put a hand on her shoulder in support.
"And now I hear the innuendo. Harry, your not grounded from the Grimoire anymore. I don't want you physically or spiritually hurting over this. Just please, for the love of Lucifer, remember I have our rules set for a reason. No powerful spells solo anymore." The owl says putting his hands on Harry's shoulder. "Not without Me, Andrealphus or Father. Understand?" He put their foreheads together.
Harry nodded feeling instant relief. Tears of relief falling from his eyes as he and Stolas embraced again.
Blitz was awwing and tried to hug Loona but she batted him away with Stolas' book.
Suddenly bright bursts of color where going off in the sky. Andrealphus and Octavia day with Stolas and Harry as they looked up at the brilliant display.
"The fuck is that?" Loona asked as she started recording.
"My acting career." Blitzo said as he got up.
Harry and Octavia sat together watching the fireworks. "Look at that one!" Octavia said as a multi colored follower burst in the sky. They sipped on the drinks they had brought as their parents sat together as well enjoying the display.
Meanwhile Moxxie and Millie has...a day...
Millie held up her phone as it buzzed.
Found the kids! From Blitzo. Stolas is opening a portal...NOW!"
A portal opened up in front of Millie as Moxxie dragged a huge bag filled with junk behind them.
"Art is heavy!" Moxxie said as he dragged a bag full of awards and flowers.
A random human gave him another demo cd and Millie threw a knife into his skull killing him instantly.
Millie pulled him toward the portal. "March Mister!" She ordered. Moxxie sadly moved forward before Millie simply picked him up and carried him in herself. Moxxie smiling the whole time. As an opossum this was his natural place.
