Chapter 1:
I managed to get it done earlier than expected thanks to this whole quarantine thing so here you all go hope you all enjoy and don't expect too much from me I'm still new to making a story like this so it's a new experience to write this type of thing so let's see how this goes and hope for the best. I will be skipping over bits and pieces because they won't be any different from the show with just the inclusion of Harry in the background, also he looks like a snake person with moose antlers and black wings matching his black scales.
Alastor couldn't remember a time when he had this much entertainment and joy rolled together, it swelled his heart to see the little tyke grow and blossom here in hell and stretch his wings like never before, quite literally in fact. It was shortly after Alastor had brought Harry into his home when purely by accident a demon feel through their roof and startled Harry so bad that he unfurled his wings for the first tie and was sixty feet in the air before he realized what happened. It still brought a warming smile to his face when he remembers how excited the kid was when that he kept rambling about the sensation and didn't even notice Alastor had killed the demon that broke their house.
As he was reminiscing Harry slithered back into the house with shadow puppets covered in a violet light caring bags full of stuff from food to clothes, and as he did Alastor was reminded of the reason why Harry was in hell instead of heaven in the first place. Just by witnessing the first time the little rascal summoned his first puppet Alastor could already tell that a tainted soul had fused with the child's long before he came to hell and had been allowed to fester and infuse itself within Harry's very soul. Thus he was barred from heaven and sentenced to hell, he may not be able to do anything about the one who denied his child happiness but he could keep an ear out for when the rest of that soul arrived since he wants to have a very pointed conversation with it. But for now he must focus on the bundle of joy he got to call his, even if refraining from calling him boy made him come up with many different nicknames for him since he made the mistake of calling him that once and having to pull him out of a mental break down. Which for any other denizen of hell would be absolutely entertaining Alastor made a deal with the boy to make him as happy as possible and Alastor never broke his word, but enough of the dreary stuff it's time for some fun. "So kiddo ready for a small trip to see if we can't find anything to help me with my shows?"
Harry couldn't stop his eyes from rolling at Alastor's antics, ever since he made that deal he had been smiling constantly except for one lapse but it was quickly overcome by both parties, but the demon constantly dragged Harry along to see if something would inspire Alastor for another broadcast. "Sure but only if we stop by the music store I'm in need of new strings for my violin and my tambourines broke last week as well." Alastor seemed to mull this over before shrugging his shoulders and summoning his microphone cane and moving towards the door, Harry sighed and followed Alastor out while leaving the shadow puppets to finish unpacking.
Once they finished with the music store they began to walk home when walking infront of the electronics store Alastor say the news about the princess of hell and stopped to observe thus forcing Harry too as well.
Once Charlie left the studio Alastor immediately began to head towards this hotel she mentioned at a brisk pace, so brisk in fact that Harry had to fly just to keep up with him and the fact that the princess seemed like a nice person intrigued him so he wanted to go there as well. Soon enough they stood outside the entrance to the Happy Hotel as it is called, and without any hesitation Alastor knocked, after the second knock the door open and there stood the princess of hell staring at Alastor who brightened his eyes. "Hel-" SLAM a brief pause the door opens again "lo" SLAM 'Rude' harry thought, he assumed she would have some manners at least, they heard a conversation inside the building before the door opened once again. "May I speak now?" crossing her arms she gave him permission, "Alastor, a pleasure to be meeting you truly a pleasure this young man at my side is Harry and we couldn't help but catch your little fiasco on the picture show why I haven't been that entertained since this kid learned how to fly." Charlie merely gaped at Harry as he came in not even noticing her lover Vaggie trying to threaten Alastor, she was merely mesmerized by the almost glowing emerald eyes that the gorgon had. "Hey now there's no need for violence after all if he did mean any one here any harm he would have done so, so let's put the spear down and you listen to what he has to say you might be surprised he means what he says."
Harry didn't realize it but he was causing a serious confliction of feelings within not only Charlie but Vaggie and Angel Dust too but unlike his host Angel wasn't nearly as restrained as the others. "Listen either change out of that stupid disguise or change your voice cause listening to and seeing a child address us is not only wrong but it makes me feel weird so in other words KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF!" All but one person was shocked by that outburst from angel and stared gobsmacked except for Alastor who instantly invaded Angels space and leaned over him so that he looked down upon the spider. "Now you listen here you little bug that child is not someone you yell at, threaten to harm or demand things from so unless you want to suffer a slow and agonizing remaining afterlife I suggest you apologize to him NOW!" As Alastor did this reality seemed to warp and become fuzzy and symbols started to float through the air, his eyes turned to radio screens and his head tilted but before it could carry on he was bopped on the back of the head by Harry.
"No bad Alastor no threating and no killing we are trying to help these people not take away the only client they have so enough with that besides I think he gets it. I'm so sorry about him he gets over protective of me since I was a human child that was sentenced to hell and he's been taking care of me since I first arrived so you can imagine what the past four years have been like." All the occupants in the room minus Harry and Alastor who was wearing a pout at being hit by Harry. wore shocked looks as they processed what was just revealed to them. Charlie was the first to recover and turned to address Alastor, "So if what he said is true you are here to help us is that correct." Alastor quickly straightened back up and smoothed out his suit.
"That's right my dear I want to help you run this hotel in order to entertain myself with the futility of what you are trying to make here, I find it laughable but a least I can be here for all the drama first hand." Charlie turned to harry to see why he was here completely missing what was going on with Angel and Vaggie as she explained who the Radio demon was. "And why are you here, just following him around to watch or are you his minder now." Harry chuckled while Alastor seemed to pout with his smile still in place, Harry shakes his head and addresses Charlie's question. "No I came because you seemed a fun and interesting person plus you also seemed to be happy and peaceful without resorting to any sins to do so just like me so I thought we could hang out and talk but I guess you wouldn't want to hang out with a kid that much huh?"
He seemed to slump his shoulders a little and before he could become melancholy he was engulfed in a hug by Charlie which he quickly returned with much emotion. "I would love to hang out with you some time cause no offense to my girlfriend but there aren't that many people to talk to that won't cuss, make rude gestures, drink, take drugs, or doesn't care about musicals and I love Vaggie but she tends to be a little…" "Overprotective." Harry finished for her with a glance toward Alastor who was humming will looking at his nails.
"Yeah I can relate to that speaking of musicals though we had just left the music shop with new strings for my violin and tambourine when we say your broadcast and came here I think my bags near the door." As he turned to the door he didn't notice the stars that seemed to grow in Charlie's at the mention of the instruments, once he was facing the door he noticed that the bag was gone but a glance over at Alastor revealed where his bag had gone.
Alastor chuckled at the snakelets absentmindedness as he handed the bag over and turned to stare at Charlie and wait for her to acknowledge him before he got back to the topic at hand. "So what do you say princess do we have a deal?" waiting for her to shake his hand just like with Harry power coalesced around the two people making the deal waiting for the final bit to make it official. "Nope, no deals….How about we give you room and bored here as one of our staff and Harry can live with you thus meaning he is safe and close by and we get you to help us sound fair." Alastor thought for a moment then agreed with the semi-deal that had been made, as he finally took the time to look around he decided that he wasn't quite done messing with the residents just yet.
Vaggie stood behind and to the side of where Alastor was outside of his view when suddenly he invaded her personal space. "Smile my dear, you're never fully dressed without one." After tickling her chin and angering her further he moved over to Charlie but cast his gaze to Harry quickly before turning to address the princess of hell. "So where is your hotel staff?"
She points to only Vaggie who growls in her throat at Alastor. "Well that simply won't do I guess I can call in a few favors and liven up this place." He strode toward what was once a fire place and using a bit of power he fixed and lit the fire place and from within something fell covered in soot and unmoving, Alastor reached in and pulled out the bundle which opened a singular eye before with a sound like a squeaky toy the soot disappeared.
As the jambalaya cooked on the stove top with Harry watching over to make certain Alastor didn't let it sit too long, the other residents began to prepare for the meal Husker sat behind the bar chugging his cheap booze, Nifty was finishing the last of the first floor cleaning. Vaggie and Charlie were sitting on a love set have a heated conversation that none of the others could hear and Angel was bothering Alastor with the story of what happened to harry and how he got stuck in hell.
Charlie finished her conversation with Vaggie just as Harry brought the meal out to the table with the help of some shadow puppets, and as they set up she noticed more than just the jambalaya there was some corn bread and a large pitcher of sweet tea.
"This looks delicious harry though I feel bad about making you cook for us when you just arrived surely you would have liked to do something else with the time you had before dinner playing games or something?" He shrugged "I like cooking for people who will actually appreciate plus it's calming."
With those words Harry sat down as well and Charlie looked around the table and felt happier for this group even if it was going to take some getting used to.
Hope you all enjoyed and see you next chapter.
