Harry Potter and the Awaking of the Tenshi
Chapter Three: To meet the Neighbors and More Letters...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Previously on Harry Potter and the Darkness Within:
"Wait a sec. I got my letter here." Harry got out his letter and got a string. He tied it to Errol's leg and the owl hooted in thanks.
"You're welcome." And the owl flew off into the morning. Harry laid down on his bed. He was going to leave the Dursleys tomorrow.
"AIIEEEE!!!"
Harry shot up.
'What was that?!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He looked outside his window and saw Haraku. She seemed to have fallen, holding plants and garden tools. The plants were ok but the tools were spread over the place. Harry shook his head. 'That girl is really clumsy.'
He went downstairs; the Dursleys were finishing their breakfast and seemed they didn't hear Haraku.
"I'm going out for a moment." Harry called out. Uncle Vernon grunted in answer which sounded like he didn't care.
"I'll take that as a yes." Harry said and went outside. He saw Haraku checking her plants and collecting her garden tools. He went over and helped her.
"Thank you" she said cheerfully as he handed her the tools.
"What happened? I heard you yelling." Harry asked.
Haraku smiled sheepishly and blushed.
"I looked up and saw an owl. I wasn't really looking were I was going." she trailed off.
"And then you fell." Harry finished for her. She gave a crooked grin.
"Well. did you come out here to just to mock me?" She pouted.
"Maybe.." Harry smirked. She scoffed then she went onto the grass in front of her house. She kneeled and started digging with a shovel. Harry sat down next to her and watched.
"Are you just going to watch me?" she asked after a few minutes and she was putting a pink flower into the ground were she just dug. Harry shrugged.
"There's not much to do for me so I guess." Haraku just sighed. She pressed the dirt around the flower and then started digging another hole.
"Do you mind getting dirty?" Harry asked as he saw her hands covered with dirt.
"No, in fact I like working with dirt, it's my friend." Harry raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Haraku planted another flower.
"You know what? When I went out to buy something yesterday and heard that you went to St. Brutus's Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys.. do you?" she asked.
'Great she's now going to say she doesn't want to be friends' Harry fumed. 'Not that we actually were in the first place.'
"Yea, so what? You're going to avoid me now?" Harry tried not to shout.
"Why should I be?" she asked confusingly, digging another hole.
That caught Harry off guard.
"I know you, even though it was for a day; I know you're not a criminal. Even if you were a criminal, you're very nice. Syaoran thinks so too." She stopped digging and took out the ragged wolf out of her pocket. "Can you hold him for me? He said the pocket is too stuffy."
Harry held the wolf.
"Where did you get him?" now Harry's temper has gone down.
"What? Where did I get who?" she looked at him.
"Syaoran, I mean."
"Oh, it was a gift... from a friend." She started digging again.
"Oh..."
There was silence as she put in all sorts of plants into the ground. After about a half an hour, Haraku produced a beautiful garden. All sorts of plants were arranged by color, size, or beauty. Haraku dusted the dirt from her hands and wiped her head with her sleeve and stood so did Harry.
"Now just one more plant to go... or should I say... tree." Harry saw the hole in the corner of the dirt.
Haraku went to her doorsteps and went in. A few seconds later she came out holding a huge sapling tree that was about her height.
"Um... do you need help?" Harry asked as Haraku panted carrying the tree and stumbling a bit.
"No... maybe." She changed her mind as Harry put Syaoran in his right pocket and helped her carry the tall tree.
"Can you hold it by yourself for a minute? I have to pat down the soil." Haraku said.
"Sure." Harry said as Haraku expanded the out the soil and Harry put it down into the earth.
"Hold it in place for a minute." She said and patted down the soil around it. After it was done she collapsed into the grass, Harry did the same.
"I think it grew in the truck." Haraku joked.
"This is my favorite tree flower. It's a Cherry Blossom tree. They bloom the best in April." Haraku said.
She stood and went inside again. She came out with a watering can... filled with a lot of water. She stumbled a little making water spill out.
Harry shook his head. 'She's carrying too many things that are too heavy her.' Harry got up and took the water can from Haraku's hand which was surprisingly light to him.
"This is light." Harry said
"Easy for you to say you're probably stronger than me." She pouted.
"Maybe you're just weak." Harry sighed and started watering the plants.
"Hey! That's not true... meanie." she mumbled the last word.
"They said it's enough water." Haraku said.
"What do you mean?" Harry was perplexed the dirt was not really wet yet. 'Can she talk to plants... or is she just-'
"Stop the water you're going to drown the plant!" she pulled Harry's hand a little bit too hard and water splashed them.
Maybe 'a little bit too hard' was just an understatement...
Harry and Haraku were soaked.
"Ah!! Gomen! Gomen! Um... I mean I'm sorry! Sorry!" she cried as water dripped off Harry's green t-shirt and it has seemed some had splashed his face making his hair sticking to his forehead.
"Sorry I didn't mean to do that!"
"Err... It's ok."
"Here..." She went in her house and came out with a towel. "You should go home and change."
Harry took the towel and wiped his face.
"Thanks... What time is it?" he asked.
"Umm..." she checked her watch. "It's about eight fifteen."
"All right, bye I'll see you a bit later." He gave back the towel.
"Ok. Bye Harry." She waved as he set down the watering can in front of the house and went into his house.
'I better change' Harry thought and went to his room and changed into a black shirt and dark blue jeans. He felt something in his green shirt pocket. He took out the object and saw it was Haraku's doll, Syaoran. Harry noticed something about the doll; the eyes were different colors. The right eye was green and the other was gold. 'How weird... nevertheless I'll give it back later.' Harry thought and put the ragged wolf on his desk.
Then he decided to pack up to get ready even though they were going to pick him at Saturday. But he left out Quidditch through the Ages. Just a little bit of light reading won't hurt. He first gave some Hedwig some water and she drank a bit of water. He noticed she wanted to go out. He opened the window and Hedwig flew to it.
"If you're not coming back by tomorrow meet me at Ron's house alright?" he stroked her feathery head. She hooted in an understanding reply and flew out the window.
He saw her fly off into the morning sun. He sighed and took Quidditch through the Ages and started reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the same dark room: with white walls and torn pictures and the same throne. The door opened.
"Well..." the figure on the throne inquired. The one that opened door kneeled in front of... Voldemort.
"W-we have found traces My Lord, b-but-" the cloaked person shook in fright.
"Yes, Avery? It better be good unless you want to be taught another lesson like the last." he said impatiently. Avery whimpered remembering the last 'lesson'.
"B-but the one we demanded to give the information would not... a-and she lost her mind." Avery braced himself and whimpered pitifully. Voldemort said nothing, the darkness covered his face.
"Who... made her lose her mind, Avery?" he asked in a calm way but Avery could feel the anger in that voice.
"B-Baronet, M-my Lord." He never dared to look into his masters eyes keeping his eyes to the floor.
"Bring her to me." He demanded.
"Y-yes of c-course." Avery got up, obviously relieved, bowed and left.
"I have to find it!" Voldemort hissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry shot up, panting. His scar felt like it was banged by a pan or something.
'He's trying to find something... but what?' Harry frowned. His book was on the floor, like it has been thrown down. He picked it up and set it on his desk. Thousand miles away, probably. Baronet was probably being tortured.
He looked at the clock and it was two minutes to nine.
Harry wiped off the sweat from his face and cleaned his glasses.
"BOY- err... HARRY! COME DOWN NOW. IT'S TIME." Uncle Vernon's voice carried out to Harry's room. 'God, I wear glasses but I'm not death' Harry thought as he rolled his eyes. His scar throbbed. He picked up 'Quidditch Through the Ages' again and put it in his trunk.
He saw Haraku's doll Syaoran and picked the thing up.
He gasped as electricity flowed through his body and dropped Syaoran. The bolt went up to his scar and Harry clutched his forehead. Then it was gone.
What else was gone was the throbbing of Harry's scar.
'What happened?' he looked at the doll that he dropped to the ground.
He picked up Syaoran and this time there was no electricity.
"BOY HURRY UP!" Harry heard Uncle Vernon at the edge of his patients. Harry quickly put Syaoran into his pocket.
"I'm coming!" Harry hurried out to the stairs and ran downstairs. He saw the Dursleys and they went out the door and Harry closed the door.
They walked across to the next house and Uncle Dursley smoothed his tie. Every one of the Dursleys were in their best clothing, making Harry look shabby with his black clothing.
"Duddykins please ring the doorbell." Aunt Petunia said. Harry stifled a snicker as Dudley blushed and rang the bell.
The door opened and there was Haraku in a white t-shirt and light blue jeans. Her straight black hair was tied up into a ponytail and bangs almost covered her eyes. She looked a bit confused, and then she saw Harry and smiled.
"Oh hello, are you Harry's relatives?" she asked.
The Dursleys had a look that told they were deciding if they considered themselves related.
"Yes they are." Harry said lamely.
"Perfect! Wonderful, come in!" Haraku widened the door so they could come in.
"Haraku who is it?" a cold voice asked. Harry saw the same man with the cold black eyes at the top of the stairs.
"It's the next door neighbors! They want to welcome us!" Haraku said cheerfully and led the Dursleys and Harry to the living room.
"Here make yourselves comfortable." She motioned them to sit. The Dursleys sat on the large couch and Harry sat in a comfortable leather chair.
"Haraku! Why are you letting them in?" the man came down the stairs and came into the living room. Haraku was oblivious to his glaring.
"Hi, my name is Haraku Tenshina. This is my father," two female people appeared. "Oh, and this is my mother, and this is my sister Mia."
"We have guests, how nice." Haraku's mother said in a nice tone. "Haraku, get them some tea and cookies."
"Hai!" Haraku saluted and skipped off to the kitchen.
"She meant 'yes.'" Mia told them. Then there was a few seconds of silence.
"Hello, my name is Vernon Dursley," Harry's uncle introduced. "This is my wife Petunia, and my son Dudley."
Silence...
Harry rolled his eyes.
"And I am Harry Potter." He introduced himself.
The Japanese sat down at the couch across from the Dursleys.
"Harry, my daughter just wouldn't stop talking about you." Haraku's mother smiled.
"Yea, she couldn't shut up." Mia mumbled.
"I HEARD THAT!" Haraku yelled from the kitchen. The Dursleys and Harry jumped in surprise.
"Haraku has very good hearing." The father said coldly.
"Well good to meet you." Vernon extended a hand and Haraku's father hesitated before taking it.
"Hello, my name is Koji Namaki, this is my wife Kamari Namaki, and as Haraku said this is our daughter, Mia." Koji introduced.
"I thought your last name is Ten... Tenshina." Dudley blurted out, enunciating the name incorrectly.
"Yes but Haraku prefers to use her real mother's last name." Mia stated. She sounded cold as her father.
"Oh." Dudley said.
There was silence except the noise in the kitchen.
"Alright, I'm sure that my cookies aren't that bad." Haraku came into the living room, breaking the silence, holding a plate of cookies and a tray of tea. She was actually balancing them on both hands.
She set them on the table and set them out. Every one took a cookie and tea.
"Did you actually bake this?" Harry asked as he took a bite.
"Yep! Do you like it?" she looked hopefully.
"Yes, it's really good." He said and the Dursleys just nodded their head. Dudley took a big handful and stuffed them in his mouth. Crumbs fell onto his shirt and floor. Mia just looked on with disgust.
"So what kind of business do you do?" Uncle Vernon asked. Harry could just feel the boast that was going to come out of his uncle's mouth.
"I work as..." Uncle Vernon was off at his work on drills and cars.
"I'm going to bring in some more cookies." Haraku said quietly, not wanting to interrupt. Harry noticed and stood up.
"I'll help." Haraku and Harry both walked out of the living room and walked into the kitchen.
When they got there, Haraku opened the oven and took out some trays of cookies with oven gloves.
Harry took out Syaoran from his pocket.
"Err... I forgot to give this back to you." Harry handed it out to her.
"Nani? I mean what?" she turned around and almost dropped the tray.
"Syaoran! There you were! I was so worried." Haraku set down the tray and took the ragged wolf doll from Harry's hands and hugged, well more likely squeezed it to death.
"Thanks Harry, I was looking all over the house." She hugged Harry too.
Harry blushed.
"Err... I accidentally took him."
"But thank you for giving him back to me!" she let go of him and smiled. "Sometimes people would steal Syaoran and try to rip him." She said sadly.
"But fortunately you not those kind of people!" she said cheerfully.
"Syaoran you have to go into my pocket again, alright?" and she put it in her pocket.
She took the tray she set on the table and loaded them on two plates.
"This is a big batch." She said and handed Harry a plate. They both walked back into the living room, now Koji Namaki was explaining his job.
"I work for a Japanese company," he said as Harry and Haraku set down the plates of cookies.
And Koji explained that the company made electronics of robots and computers.
Then everyone heard a hoot from the fireplace. They turned their heads and saw two owls!
The owls flew to Harry and Haraku, and gave out their legs where there was an envelope for each of them.
'Owls?! Does it mean Haraku's a-' Harry thought and open the envelope clearly from Hogwarts. Haraku did the same. The two families watched in silence.
Dear Mr. Potter,
You might have met Haraku Tenshina. She has moved next door to you. She is an exchange student from Japan and we would be pleased if you guided her to Hogwarts. Get her books that she needs for this following year at Diagon Alley. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagall
Harry's eyes widened.
Haraku was an exchange student... she was a witch?
