Potter Meets a Demon Lord:ExplanationsOver Tea
Harry sipped the tea that was given to him by Miharu, or should we say Relena. Akito was beside him, drinking his own tea in silence. Harry had refused to leave Akito's side so he had to be dragged along in he meeting that included Relena, General Raiku, and more importantly, Lord Sesshoumaru. They were all sitting in silence, sipping their tea except Lord Sesshoumaru who was content at staring at him. Harry had been blushing the moment he set foot in the room when Sesshoumaru had glanced at him. Harry berated himself for being so obviously pathetic. He was starting to feel like a school girl who had a crush.
Sesshoumaru didn't seem to care at all. His face was set in a stoic expression that made Harry flinch nervously. Relena had been "helpful" by looking at Harry and Sesshoumaru amusedly. Akito was unreadable as was Raiku. All in all, they made a pretty weird group. No one was eager to start.
"What will happen now?" Raiku had finally broken the sound barrier.
"He is the Lord of the Eastern Lands now, human or not," Relena sipped her tea.
"No one will approve for a human ruler!" Sesshoumaru snarled. Harry flinched.
Sesshoumaru sensed Harry's unease, immediately regretting snapping. The boy had been bathed and rested. Relena had helpfully selected black robes with white patterns on them. His robes matched his eyes and his blush had stayed in place the moment he saw Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru thought he looked delectable.
'No! To think that I, Sesshoumaru, would fall for a human.' Sesshoumaru had settled for denial.
"Fist of all, Relena, I want you to tell me how you ended up here? I never really knew you at Hogwarts though." Harry tried to keep his voice steady while steadily getting annoyed at the demoness who found the situation quite amusing.
"Since everyone in this room has already been informed of where we're from and what we are, I think I should start with my story." Relena cleared her throat. "I have been here for thirty years, Harry."
"What? But that can't be! You've only-"
"Yes, I know. But think about this first. I had been here thirty years earlier from now in the past and you've accidentally been dropped in the floo network now. It doesn't have to make sense. My seventeen year-old self had been sent here thirty years earlier than you while you have been sent now. I may have been missing for only a few months but that hardly matters when it comes to wormholes. They are mostly random." Relena took another sip of her tea and continued. "Anyway, continuing with the story. My grandparents were full-blooded demons. They had a son, my father. Those were the times when powerful demons were persecuted and also the time when wizards and witches had become numerous, unlike now. They hid in the mountains where they lived for a hundred years. My father met my mother then, who was also a full-blooded dragon demon. My mother, was a witch. A rare case for a demon. They had decided to hide their identities and put a spell on themselves to seem human. They lived in the wizarding world. So it posed a problem to them when I was born."
Relena paused and sipped her tea, annoying the hell out of the awaiting listeners.
"Ahem. My mother was overjoyed when she had found I was a witch. So, they went to Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time. Dumbledore had put a very complex and powerful enchantment on me with the help of Nicholas Flamel, another great wizard. They made me temporarily human until I reach my majority, which is eighteen where I will age as a demon from then on. But, during the first task in the Triwizards tournament, an accident had happened. I happened to stumble..." A faint cough from Raiku was heard "Purposely" Relena glared at him.
"Into the dragons. When my demon blood sensed the dragons, it overrode the fading enchantment put on me. My body was so shocked at the awakening than I turned into my full youkai form immediately. I turned into a black dragon. The other dragons panicked when they sensed my power and I panicked too so I flew off. Just as fate would have it, I was sucked into a wormhole that appeared in the sky. I ended up here." Relena ended the story.
"How did you become the top adviser and Chief councilor?" Sesshoumaru wasn't able to hide his curiosity.
"I worked my way to the top." Relena smiled mischievously.
"What were you planning after you fully captured the Lord of the Eastern Lands?" Sesshoumaru asked directly.
Relena grinned. "I was planning on killing him and assuming the throne for myself."
"What? You're crazy!" Harry suddenly blurted out.
"Well, yes, I may be erratic and a little bit crazy. I was interested in governing the Eastern Lands. It's like playing Sim City full throttle!" Relena grinned distantly.
"You are crazy!" Harry accused.
"If you say so, mi lord." Relena shrugged nonchalantly.
"So, your story now, Harry." Relena sipped her tea. "I think a good explanation is that a wormhole had appeared in the floo network. There had never been such a case but you just happen to have splendid luck." Relena emphasized the last part.
"Great!"
"Now that we know the full story, we must take a course of action." Relena stated.
"What do you suggest, Lady Miharu?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I would like to ask for your help. I would like to train Harry here for his role as Lord of the Eastern Lands." Relena turned to Sesshoumaru respectfully.
"No way!" A hand slammed down the table hard, making all the inhabitants of the room turn to him. "I will not be the Lord of the Eastern Lands, okay? I just want to go back to our time and to Hogwarts! I don't agree with your plan."
No one expected to see Relena glare at Harry mercilessly. The temperature seemed to drop as Harry and Relena engaged in a staring contest.
"You should have thought about that before you killed the vile pig!" Relena snarled so viciously, Harry almost gulped.
"It was in self defense." Harry sat back down.
"Harry, I should tell you this." Relena sighed tiredly. "There is a very small chance that you will be able to go back. Unless Professor Dumbledore and the others find a way to know your location in time, they might not be able to bring you back. Trust me Harry, I've been trying to find a way back but I haven't found anything or anyone that could help. I suggest you do what I did, make the best of things. You haven't been here two weeks and you've already made friends (Raiku: "And enemies") and seized the throne to the Eastern Lands successfully. Even I had a harder time."
"This is no joke, Relena!" Harry nearly screamed in frustration.
"I wasn't joking..." Everyone turned to Relena. "...maybe except on the last part."
Harry gave a small smile but said nothing.
"Tell you what, I'll have everyone under my command search for a way to go through time if you agree to train with me." Relena set down her cup of tea.
"What exactly are you gonna teach me?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"How to run a country, basic defense, definitely some martial arts and advanced magic." Relena counted off the subjects she would teach with her fingers. "Oh, yeah! And I'm going to teach you wandless magic!"
"What? But that's for powerful wizards!"
"Whatever... and I'll have to teach you etiquette, dance lessons, traditional Japanese culture-"
"Wait a minute! What the heck are those for?"
"Well, if your going to be the leader of a country, you have to learn these things. It is required for diplomacy and when we meet with the other Lords of the Northern and Southern Lands."
Sesshoumaru agreed silently.
"Are they demons too?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Yes, but don't worry. As soon as they find out you have magic like me, they will lighten up with the prospect of a human Eastern Lord." Relena shrugged it off as if it happened everyday.
"How could you be so sure of that. You may be respected because you have magic but don't forget you're also a demon."
"That is true but, since you don't know yet, I'll tell you. Demons are very receptive to magic. Even though Lord Yomi was compared to the other Lords, he was still stronger than many demons. You killed him in less than a minute. Demons are drawn to you because of the same reasons. The stronger the demon, the more receptive they are to magic. I have magic in me so I am not as receptive to magic, however, I am still careful, with one Stupefy, you could throw me into a coma. Thankfully, there are very few people here with magic."
"So I'm powerful to demons?" Harry asked.
"In a sense you could kill them in less than a minute with magic, yes." Everyone in the room aside from Relena resisted rolling their eyes.
"So what now?" Harry asked.
"With Lord Sesshoumaru's leave, I would like to stay here until you are deemed fit to be presented to the Eastern Lands and the Lords of the Northern and Southern Lands." Relena turned to Sesshoumaru and bowed deeply. "Lord Sesshoumaru, we would forever be in your debt if you help us in this."
Raiku did the same.
"As general of the Eastern Lands Army and the faithful servant of my mistress Lady Miharu Relena Greenwood, I beg of your service also."
Sesshoumaru mused for a few moments. "And what benefit will I gain from this?"
"The Eastern Lands will sign a treaty of allegiance with the Western Lands that would promise aid to the Western Lands in times of need. And also..." Relena paused dramatically. "...I will guide you and your ward to develop your magical attributes."
"What? He has magic?" Harry asked in shock.
"Yes, he and his ward, Rin-chan. You might have experienced an attraction between yourselves because of the combination of Lord Sesshoumaru's demonic heritage and his magic. It makes him almost completely irresistible to powerful wizards or witches."
"Wha-You- You mean that... I-" Harry wasn't able to finish the sentence because of the blood rushing to his face. "But what about you?
"For some reason, my dragon heritage makes me immune to these attractions."
"What do you mean my ward has magic?" Sesshoumaru cut in.
"I sensed it the moment I stepped in the castle. She was in one of the gardens and I sensed her magic."
"What would happen if I trained my magic to it's potential."
"You will be even more powerful." An unmistakably excited glint in Relena's eyes became present.
"Then I accept your offer."
