Chapter 6
Three weeks!
Three whole bloody weeks, did it take for Harry to recover from the little incident with Nemesis. And boy, the Gryffindor wasn't happy about it one bit. Luckily, Hogwarts purposely enlarged her rooms; to accommodate the extra people. And when the Staff members realized that no one was able to get out; except they could go as far as Hogsemede, they really let loose on the healing teen.
Harry sighed as he sat in the grass upon one of Hogwarts many hills; looking up at the late morning sky. "Yoh?" Came a timid voice.
Hm?
Soft silver blue eyes looked up to see Morty looking at him shyly. "What's up Morty?" The Gryffindor asked curiously. "I sort of wanted to ask you something." The smaller boy sat down next to the curious older boy. "What is it?" Morty was silent before speaking. "What exactly is happening Yoh?" Harry hesitated. "I know you know something about all of this." Morty said quietly.
Harry lowered his head. "I'm sorry Morty, but I'm afraid I can't tell anyone." He said softly. "But why? We're your friends, I mean you can trust us." Morty pleaded. Harry sighed. "Drop the issue Morty." He muttered. "But–" Morty trailed.
"Now, Morty."
"Fine." Morty grumbled. Looks like he wouldn't be getting any answers. "There ya are Yoh!" Squealed Tray's voice as the blue haired boy slung an arm around the surprised Gryffindor's shoulder.
"So, what's this about you saving the entire school?" Rio teased. Harry turned red. "Where'd you hear something like that?" He asked slowly. "From some guy named Draco Malfoy." Harry's eyes narrowed dangerously. Oh, he was gonna talk to the little snitch of a Slytherin later. "So, do you have a girlfriend or what, man?" Chocolove asked.
Harry turned even redder. "I-I don't know what you're talking about!" He stuttered. Lenny snorted. "Please, Yoh, not even Chocolove is dumb enough to know that you are a bit old for Anna." The Shamans began inching away from Len as Anna pounded him to the ground for seemingly calling her 'old'.
"Yeah, come to think of it, you do look older." Lyserg mused, looking up to those silver blue eyes. "How old are you exactly now?" Tray asked, as he watched an angry Len get up. "Almost sixteen." Harry mumbled.
Silence passed.
"I bet it's that Karai girl." Tray said suddenly. Harry blushed hotly. "You don't even know what your talking about moron." He grumbled, hitting the blue haired boy in the head as they headed into the Great Hall for lunch. Students and staff members alike looked up to see the Shamans; with Harry, coming in.
For some reason, Harry was blushing a color that would rival the Weasely's, as Tray and Chocolove were both teasing him. Something about a secret 'crush'. Harry; still blushing, sat down at the Gryffindor table while the guests got to sit at a huge table that over looked the whole Great Hall. "Hey Leo!" Called Mikey.
Hm?
Harry looked up to see the ninja brothers coming his way. Glittering in Mikey's hand was a golden Arabian lamp. "We found this earlier." Donny said, excitedly. Harry took it gently from Mikey's grip; frowning. "There's a lot of dust though." Mikey said, sneezing as a thick cloud of dust came off.
Harry started wiping some dust off. "It looks like there's some kind of runes on it." He mused, but was startled as the lamp began glowing a bright gold, and pink tinted blue smoke began coming out of the tip. "What's happening?" Creme cried, hiding behind Tails.
The pink tinted blue smoke swirled around Harry, who coughed as a 'huge' bright blue spirit rose from the lamp.
"Oi! Ten thousand years will give ya such a crick in the neck!" It whined. "Hold on a second." Harry yelped as he was picked up and sat down on the guest table. The strange blue spirit; for some reason Harry sensed it was a genie, lift its head up , gave it a turn before setting it back down on its neck. Then, kind onyx eyes looked down on the surprised Gryffindor.
"Say, you're a lot smaller than my last master." The spirit mused, placing a large blue hand; which had a gold band around the wrist, over Harry's head. "Either that, or I'm bigger." Then in a comic fashion, the spirit turned to its side. "Tell me, do I look bigger to you?" And its belly fell over its red belt.
"Who are you?" Julie-Su asked. "I am Genie of the lamp!" The spirit cried, in a melodramatic fashion.
Silver blue eyes widen.
Yep, Harry was right. The spirit of the lamp was indeed a magical genie. And not just any genie either. It was the Genie from the Cave of Wonders. "So, what's your name Master?" Genie asked, his topknot changing into a misty microphone. "Harry." The teen mumbled.
"Hold it," Said Zeke. "Yoh's, your master?" The brunette asked in shock. The Genie grinned. "That's right, your friend is my master, so you get three wishes!" Rio sort of got a greedy look in his dark eyes. "Any wishes?" He asked. "Only three wishes. And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes."
The Genie suddenly became a large slot machine, before sliding his right arm. "Only three." The slots came up as lemons. "Uno, dos, tres." Three smaller versions of the Genie came out; each wearing a sombrero; before walking past Harry in a black and white fashion smoking a cigar; wearing glasses and a tie.
"No substitutions or refunds." And transformed back into his regular self, and was facing his back away from Harry. "Now I know I'm dreaming." Harry muttered to Knuckles; who could only agree.
The Genie turned with a smile and pointed at Harry. "Master, I don't think you quite realize what you got here." Harry was surprised as light blue glittery magic lifted him into the air and was sitting comfortably at the guest table. "So, why don't you sit back and assimilate," His blue form was surrounded by a soft blue glow. "While I illuminate the possibilities!" Growing bigger, before shrinking slightly and was in front of Harry, with his arms crossed over his nose and mouth.
"Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves"
Exactly forty bandits with curved blades jumped out of Genie's hands and began circling Harry in a menacing manner.
"Scheherazade had a thousand tales"
Harry winced as those swords got real close to him. So close, he could almost touch those needle point blades.
"But master, you're in luck"
Harry turned his head and gaped as Genie's head was poking through his jacket. Okay, this felt a little too weird.
"Cause up your sleeves you got a brand of magic that never fails"
Genie then had Harry's own arms change into the spirit's own muscular arms, before the whole Great Hall became a Wrestling ring. The Genie; in a grey sweat suit, appeared behind Harry, rubbing his shoulders.
"You got some power in your corner now"
Harry whipped around in time to see the Genie become a large red firecracker, with some more behind him.
"Heavy ammunition in your camp"
Harry dove to the ground as the firecracker/Genie passed over his head.
"You got some punch"
Then the firecracker changed into a huge grinning red face of the Genie.
"Pizzaz, yahoo and how"
The Genie then became a smaller version of his blue self, reappearing in the lamp, and gripped Harry's hand gently.
"See, all you got to do is rub the lamp, and I'll say"
He made Harry rub the lamp, before coming out in a poof ob pink tinted blue smoke.
"Mr. Harry, sir, what will your pleasure be?"
With three flicks of his wrists, Harry and his brothers were sitting on fancy white chairs with a large white table in front of them, looking over huge red brown menus.
"Let me take your order, jot it down"
The Genie was now wearing a black tuxedo and held a pad in his right hand and a pen in the other. He zapped Arabian writing down on the pad.
"You ain't never had a friend like me"
He teased, elbowing Harry before grinning and speaking in a fake French accent.
"Life is your restaurant"
The Genie zapped a large silver platter in front of them and removed the cover to reveal a large roasted turkey. Mikey drooled. Before the turkey changed into the Genie's head.
"And I'm your maitre d'"
He changed back, his left ear growing quite large enough to fit Harry inside as he leaned in, as if to hear a secret.
"Come on, whisper what it is you want"
Before splitting into four separate bodies.
"You ain't never had a friend like me!"
Now, the four Genies were doing his hair, hands, shaving and feet. Majorly weird, even for the Wizarding world.
"Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service"
Now, Harry was sitting on a huge, comfy gold chair. Huge piles of gold filled the Great Hall; including some jewels.
"You're the boss, the king, the shah"
A plate of delicious food was sitting right in front of Harry.
"Say what you wish, it's yours true dish"
Harry reached for the plate. Bad move on his part as some sort of food began to fall from the enchanted ceiling and filling the room.
"How about a little more baklava?"
The food, gold and jewels were gone. Now, Harry was teetering on a huge stone column that had a plate of some food on it.
"Have some of column A"
Harry fell off, only to land on a second one, this time the column was the food.
"Try all of column B"
Once again, Harry fell off, only to land on a giant red pillow conjured by the Genie.
"I'm in the mood to help you dude, you ain't never had a friend like me!"
The genie stuck out his tongue, which changed into a red carpet, and a smaller version of Genie came out in a white tuxedo complete with white top hat and a white cane. The Genie danced about before two big hands supposedly squashed him.
"Can your friends do this?"
The Genie was juggling his own head now! Some students looked sick, but others thought it was cool.
"Can your friends do that?"
The Genie tossed his head over to a smirking Harry who easily juggled it on one hand before tossing it back on to the Genie's neck. The Genie grabbed his topknot and spun himself like a ring in mid air.
"Can your friend pull this out of their little hat?"
While spinning in mid air, he transformed into a pink rabbit before the rabbit shifted into a huge red dragon. With a beard of all things.
"Can your friends go...poof"
The dragon Genie took a deep breath and spewed out a stream of red flames. Those red flames transformed into three drop dead gorgeous dark haired Arabian dancer girls.
"Hey, looky here!"
Each dancer girl began swaying around Harry who was nervous; after all, he saw the dirty looks Karai was giving him.
"Can your friends go abracadabra"
The Genie; now red, began dancing, before grabbing his ears.
"And let her rip!"
Before ripping himself apart.
"And make the sucker disappear?"
Each dancer girl vanished with a loud pop and a poof of white smoke. Harry gave a relieved sigh. At least, Karai could stop glaring at him. Suddenly, the Genie was hovering in front of him, sitting in a lotus position.
"So don't just sit there slack-jawed"
At this, the Genie's mouth dropped down in a comic fashion. Mikey bit his lips; just to keep from laughing.
"Buggy-eyed"
Here, the Genie's eyes bugged out.
"I'm here to answer all your midnight prayers"
He jumped from Harry's hands and into the ground; which splashed like water. Then, a huge pink certificate rose up.
"You got me bona fide, certified"
The certificate wrapped around Harry before releasing him in a spin, which the Genie did stop. For that Harry was thankful.
"You got a genie for a chargé d'affaires"
"I got a powerful urge to help you out"
The Genie leaned in closely.
"So what's your wish? I really want to know"
Harry almost laughed out loud as the Genie pulled out a very long stream of paper from his ear. It was quite funny.
"You got a list that's three miles long no doubt"
The Genie turned red again, and actually began rubbing the paper over his but in a manner that wasn't too pleasant to look at.
"Well, all you got to do is rub like so"
And snapped the paper down like a whip. Hundreds of men suddenly bowed down at Harry who was very surprised.
"Mr. Harry, sir, have a wish or two or three"
One of the dancer girls came up to Harry and pretended to kiss him; which made Karai steam in not only anger, but jealously as well.
"I'm on the job, ya big nabob"
The dancer girl had changed into a grinning Genie.
"You ain't never had a friend"
He zapped up four dancing tan elephants.
"You ain't never had a friend"
Now, three brown camels wearing purple shawls and skirts appeared and began dancing about. Some students dove out of the way.
"You ain't never..."
This time, swordsmen appeared.
"...Had a..."
A huge red ruby with dancing monkeys on it, appeared in front of the Genie and a surprise Harry. Something told the audience, that the big finish was about to come.
"...Friend..."
The belly-dancer girls appeared again, this time on a high stone column in the back round. A huge ship with jewels and gold spilled onto the floor. And a neon lighted outline of the castle, appeared behind them; glowing brightly.
"Like me!"
The dancers; animal and human, began dancing wildly and almost in a passionate way, that would make normal dancers blush.
"You ain't never had a friend like me!"
The Genie then banished everything away, the words 'applause', flashing over his head. "Impressive." Harry teased, clapping. "Wicked show, man!" Tray said, excitedly. The Genie blushed a bright blue before returning to his lamp.
Hm.
Seems things were heating up a bit, eh?
Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw that Karai stayed near the doors, in her normal silent manner. He needed to show her what magic was truly about and he had a pretty good idea on what to do. Harry made his way over to her. She blinked, confused. What was he doing? Harry whispered something in her ear, making her blush and she shyly nodded. Harry smiled. "Tonight at seven?" He asked. She nodded. This made everyone curious as a cat.
What were they up to?
As everyone went their separate ways, April came up to Karai. The two were slowly beginning to get along. Only after a threat to Karai that she will do nothing to hurt Harry/Leo.
"So, what did Leo ask you?" The red head questioned. Karai blushed. "He wants to take me out tonight." She said shyly. April smirked in a knowing way. "About time he did it!" She squealed. Karai blinked. "What do you mean April-san?"
April waved off the 'san' part. "Oh come on, Leo's brother's, Master Splinter, Usagi, and even Casey knows that you and Leo have a thing for each other." She teased. Karai blushed even harder. "What time is he taking you?" April continued. "Seven." April grinned. "Then, we'll have to get you ready!"
:That very Night:
Harry waited in the Great Hall, ignoring everyone's looks at his choice of clothing. A skin tight black turtleneck, black leather pants, black boots and a short black leather jacket. The silver in his hair stood out more than the blue did, though.
The doors to the Great Hall opened and Karai; dressed in a slim, sleeveless red trimmed black dress with black knee high boots came in. April grinned to herself from where she sat at the guest table. "What's with those two?" Casey whispered. "Leo finally asked her out on a date." April whispered back. Master Splinter simply smiled.
Karai stood in front of Harry shyly. "Wow." Was all Harry said. She blushed. Obviously, he liked her outfit. Harry gave a sudden high pitched whistle; and a gold lined purple carpet flew in from the open windows that over looked the Great Hall (mostly because they were closer to the enchanted ceiling than anything else) .
The magic carpet lowered itself and Harry climbed on. "You ready to see the world?" He asked lightly. "Is it safe?" She asked softly. "Of course. Do you trust me?" Harry asked gently, and held out a hand. She looked up into his silver blue eyes. "Yes." She took his hand and he hoisted her up. The carpet then proceeded to fly out the windows...with them on board.
The magic carpet flew them past the country side and into the muggle town of London, England. Harry smiled at her.
"I can show you the world"
The buildings shimmered up at them, like a sea of jewels.
"Shining, shimmering, splendid"
Karai was amazed at what Harry was showing her. He was giving her a rare sight and wonderful gift of magic.
"Tell me princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?"
They flew down towards the streets, and pass a Floral shop. Harry removed one of the roses sitting outside, and gave it to her. She sniffed the heavenly scent and put the rose into her black hair.
"I can open your eyes"
They passed by Big Ben and by even more grand buildings.
"Over, sideways, and under"
They passed underneath a bridge, the cool evening air brushed along their skin.
"On a magic carpet ride"
Now, they were soaring higher and higher into the skies, she looked over the side to see London shrinking in the distance.
"A whole new world"
"A whole new fantastic point of view"
They dove in and out of clouds.
"No one to tell us no"
The sweet clouds tickled at Karai's skin, and she giggled.
"Or where to go"
They flew right by the moon. Which was quite full at that moment. Harry turned and smiled warmly at her; the love and trustfulness was easily seen in his eyes.
"Or say we're only dreaming"
Karai smiled warmly at him; now knowing she would never go back to the Shredder and would remain loyal to Harry/Leo.
"A whole new world"
The clouds flew by them as they flew gently through the air, she was amazed by the world Harry had shown her.
"A dazzling place I never knew"
They then passed through some clouds, and each were now holding a soft cloud; almost like a pillow.
"But when I'm way up here"
Harry's cloud suddenly got squished. He looked sheepish.
"It's crystal clear"
She released her own cloud.
"That now I'm in a whole new world with you"
They flew around a large white cloud; the carpet swirling it into a giant cream puff.
"Now I'm in a whole new world with you"
"Unbelievable sights"
Storks were flying by them. One saw them and screeched in shock. Harry chuckled at the bird's silliness.
"Indescribable feeling"
She spread her arms out, almost like wings. Harry smiled. He was glad Karai was enjoying herself on this magical night. He was as well.
"Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling"
They started to fall through the sky, but only to be caught by the carpet.
"Through an endless diamond sky"
Now they were diving for a river. Apparently, they were no longer in England, but in Egypt of all places.
"A whole new world"
Karai covered her eyes as they dove down for the river. Harry smiled and grabbed her hands gently.
"Don't you dare close your eyes"
He removed her hands from her eyes, and she practically squealed as they flew by the sails of many boats.
"A hundred thousand things to see"
"Hold your breath it gets better"
They began flying by a sphinx, where there were muggles working about. Karai and Harry waved at them.
"I'm like a shooting star"
"I've come so far"
The muggles jumped seeing two teens flying by on a flying carpet. They both looked at each other with sheepish smiles.
"And I can't go back to where I used to be"
"A whole new world"
Now they were beginning to head for the desert.
"Every turn a surprise"
As they flew through the desert of Egypt, they passed by a running heard of mares.
"With new horizons to pursue"
Karai brushed one of the mares mane, and the mare leapt with joy. She smiled.
"Every moment red-letter"
Now, they were in Greece, as they soared over the country side, admiring the country's beauty of nature.
"I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare"
"Let me share this whole new world with you"
They flew under some apple trees, and Harry picked one out of the tree and tossed it to Karai who caught it.
"A whole new world"
Karai smiled; finally happy for once in her lonely life.
"A whole new world"
They flew down to a crystal lake where a small white gazebo looked over.
"That's where we'll be"
Karai brushed her fingers long the crystal blue waters, letting ripples flow behind them.
"That's where we'll be"
Harry looked over at the waters and smiled dreamily.
"A thrilling chase"
She leaned in next to him, her head resting on his shoulders; also smiling in a dreamy way.
"A wondrous place"
They smiled at each other, and held hands as they floated close to the waters and headed back for home.
"For you and me"
Before they stepped inside Hogwarts, Harry leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips and disappeared into the Chamber of Secrets once more. Karai stood there, surprised he had done such a bold thing. She reached up to her still tingling lips. He had tasted of vanilla. She licked her lips, smiling.
And finally went to bed.
See? I promised you I put some Leo/Karai moments! Anyway, the next chapter will finish up the summer and with another attack by the Heartless on the way before chapter eight starts off the official school year with even more encounters with the Heartless. And maybe even a little more about Harry's past as the Protector?
Stay tune!
