A month had passed, and Harry was getting better at all the training, including sword fighting. He was now giving Lancelot a workout, but his training now intensified to harder areas.
Harry was startled at this, as was Merlin, one day they had stop his day's training to have a word with him . Harry was in Merlin's study, seated on a chair when he looked at him. "There's trouble in a town called Tarren, Arthur is going with his head knights to see about the bandit problem. I am also going," Merlin said.
"What about me?" Harry asked.
Merlin sighed. "If you want to come, you may. If you going help us, I suggest that you stay far from the battle, if there is one, and cast spells to aid us. I don't want you in it."
With a gulp, Harry nodded. "You have all been so nice to me, I want to help."
Merlin gave nod. "Then I think you need something better to wear, please stand up." Harry did as, Merlin cast a spell, and his clothes changed into light golden armor that covered his entire body except for his head. Harry also had a darker golden cape on his back.
As Harry felt his armor he said, "But it feels like cloth."
Merlin nodded. "Yes, but it is harder than iron, and will absorb strong blows. You will not get hurt as easily."
Harry then move around, and found it light. "Yes, this is perfect."
Merlin then tapped Harry's side with a wand, and silvery sword appeared. "Careful with that, it is sharper then any non magical sword, and it will cut through normal swords like bread."
Harry nodded as he unsheathed the sword, and found it light. "I've seen this before, it was in my head masters office."
Merlin nodded. "It may have been given to your school"
Harry shook his head. "It belonged to one of the founders of the school, Godric Gryffindor."
Merlin looked surprised. "Gryffindor you say? I know his family."
Harry looked at him. "So when are we going?" he asked, putting his sword back on his side.
"Tomorrow your servants will help you pack and call you before we leave." Harry nodded, and was allowed to have the rest of the day to himself.
As Harry left the study, he decided to go to town. He had been so busy he hadn't been there since he came to the castle. Harry went to his room to get changed.
As Harry left his room, he was dressed in plain brown clothes. He didn't want to be fancy, though the king had his wardrobe filled with a assortment of clothes. Each had a special pocket that filled with the right amount of gold he needed. As he left his servants came up to him.
"May we ask where you going?"
He nodded. "I'm heading into town, would you care to come? I could use the company," he said using an important sounding voice. They laughed, knowing he was joking. "We would be glad, my lord," they said jokingly.
During Harry's time at the castle they had become good friends.
Harry and his servants rode into town, each on an expressive looking horse. The townspeople turned to stare at them as the group rode proudly through town.
They went to the outdoor market and bought some fresh fruits. Each carried a sack as they headed back to the main road.
The open market was huge. Soon Harry and his friends made the mistake of going the wrong way.
"Hey Jasmine? Is this the way?" Dawn, the older of the three servants asked.
"I thought you knew where we were Dawn," Jasmine, the younger one said.
"Great some guides we turn out to be," Ruby said.
Harry quickly spoke up, sensing a heated argument coming on. "Enough, guys, all we have to do is try to back track." They nodded and tried to find their way back.
After a few minutes they knew they were lost. They decided to try an ally way, then they reached a dead end.
"Great, lets head back," Jasmine said.
Harry stopped her. "We've got bigger problems," he said taking out his wand. Some men who had been following them a few yards behind them for a while came closer. "Stay behind me, they are not nice men, and I have a feeling their intentions are not good," Harry warned. He knew they were in trouble.
Harry and his friends waited in the alleyway. The men were waiting to ambush them if they went out. It seemed like hours before the four men appeared in the mouth of the alley. "Hey, who do we have here? Three nice looking girls and a rich guy," the bigger said.
"Stay were you are," Harry said pointing his wand at them.
All the men laughed. "Or what, you'll hit us with that?"
Harry grinned as he thought of a funny thing to do to them. "No, but I think you
need a dance lesson." With that Harry cast a spell that forced them to dance
uncontrollably.
"Hey what's happening?" they all yelled.
"Oh, I just cursed you to dance forever. So if you want it to be removed, please
lead us out, or you will never stop dancing." They quickly agreed as Harry and
his servants laughed. Still laughing, they followed the four men out.
The laughing didn't stop at the main street, as Harry marched the for dancing
men through town, then straight to the castle, right up to captain of the
guards. "Sir, these men tried to attack us," Harry said. Once the men were in
shackles Harry removed the spell and they were lead away by the guards, while
Harry and his friends went into the castle.
That afternoon there was a lot of laughter in the dinning room, as Harry told
the King and his knights the events of the afternoon. Once it died down, the
King spoke up. "It was lucky you stopped them before they could harm any of you,
but I need to warn you, try not to get into dangerous situations. Keep an eye
out for where you are going so this won't happen again."
Harry agreed, but was asked to tell them in great detail of what the men did on
the streets. The people around them enjoyed it. This went on all night until
Harry called it quits and left for his room.
