Harry Potter and the Green Way

Part: 2

"The first thing you need to learn boy, is control." Said the Green Man as he lead the mortal into a clearing rimmed with trees. Harry noticed idly that the trees formed a perfect circle around the smooth ground that his new Master had commanded him to sit on while he paced and made gestures as he tried to demonstrate his point.

"To begin, find a comfortable position, and relax, breathe in for a count of seven, hold for a count of eight, then release for another count of seven.

"1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . as you get used to the exercise I want you to concentrate inwardly, block out distractions and sort through your thoughts, this is how you organize you mind, once your mind is clear of distracting thoughts I want you to go deeper into yourself try to find your center.

"What do you see?"

" . . ."

"Well boy?"

"Death."

"Well at least we know who your next master will be then."

"Who?" asked Harry curiously, he cracked open an eye in order to gaze at his teacher who had his back turned to the boy.

"Hel."

"Hell? As in the place?" asked Harry confused.

"No Hel, H. E. L. as in one of the goddesses who rules over the underworld."

"Oh . . . so what do we do now?"

Harry's Master turned and grinned as an orb of green light formed in his hand,

"Now we work on evasion tactics, and maybe I'll teach you how to heal your wounds when were done."

The Green Man threw the orb at the still seated Harry Potter.

The Green Man now lead a bleeding and limping human into a second clearing in which a small hut had been built.

"This will be your home for as long as I deem necessary boy. You are required to provide food and water for yourself, as well as clothing."

As the God turned away from the boy, he threw one last comment over his shoulder.

"And try not to piss off the fairies!"

"Fairies?" quarried Harry but his master was already gone.

With a sigh of trepidation, Harry pushed open the door to the cottage only to have it slam shut in his face.

It seemed that the small house was indeed infested with fairies.

"Hello cousin." Purred the black goddess as she opened her door to allow the Old Man and the smaller human male into her home.

"Good day Hel, I trust you've thought over my proposal?"

"Of course I have cousin. I will help . . . however you will not be able to oversee his training, so I will have to ask you to leave."

"But . . ."

"Now cousin."

And in a flash of emerald green sparks The Green Man was gone. Harry gulped at the predatory look the goddess gave him.

Harry dodged the fireball as he ducked out of the cottage door. Damn those fairies, the little bastards wouldn't let him within five yards of his own bed.

"Hello?"

Harry spun around to find himself staring into the wide green eyes of a forest nymph.

"er . . . hi, sorry about that." Harry murmured as he rubbed the back of his head.

The nymph gave him a small smile as she glided forward. She leaned in close to the boy and whispered.

"It's not safe to be outdoors at night, for there are those that would gladly see you fall."
