AN: Sorry it took me this long, I need inspiration and things were a bit dull on my end. Anyways enjoy the Chapter.
Ch 15 Hogwarts Here we Come
"Come on Harry! We're going to be late!" Harry shot up from his futon, hearing his father calling his name from the bottom floor of their house.
Harry got up from his futon and remade it so Diablo won't do it, nor the maids. He got dressed in a white shirt, a green sweater, and jeans. He was about to pick his sneakers when a loud crash interrupts him.
He looks at his door hearing some shouting of a different person within his home. "What was that!?" He asked himself. Harry rushed down the stairs and saw Diablo holding a House Elf by the back collar.
"Please let Dobby go, Demon sir! Dobby has important information for Mr. Harry Potter!" A pale little Elf-like creature begs the Demon Lord.
Diablo brought the pre-evolution of an Elf to his face. "How strange, a House Elf hasn't been around since the Elven Wars centuries ago." He commented. "Per tell, how your kind manage to not evolve like the rest of your kind?"
Dobby looks at the Demon Butler in fear, "D-Dobby has no knowledge what Demon is saying, but that doesn't matter now. Dobby has come to warn Mr. Harry Potter!" He reasons with the Demon,
"Warn me? Warn me about what?" Harry walks down the stairs to his father and maids.
Dobby turns to the Majin, happy to see him well. "Oh, Great Harry Potter. Dobby is glad you're safe!" He said happily.
Diablo inclines his head to the young master, "Forgive me, young master for interrupting your packing. It seems that this House Elf has come baring news to relay for you." He eyes the miniature Elf.
Rimuru sighs, looking at his son. "Yes, Dobby has told us that something bad is going to happen at your school. However, he refuses to tell us due to our physiology." The Demon Lord explains to his son.
Harry nodded, understanding where the House Elf is coming from. He looks over to the creature and walks forward. "Dobby, right? You can trust them, they're my family. So anything that you have they can be trusted." He explains to the fearful Elf.
Dobby looks at Rimuru before back at Harry. "Mr. Harry Potter is kind to Dobby, more than-NO! BAD DOBBY! BAD! BAD! BAD!" The House Elf hits his head with his fist, punishing himself for no apparent reason in the eyes of the household.
"NO! DOBBY!" Harry took both of Dobby's hands, preventing himself to be hurt.
Rimuru was about to step in when he saw Dobby calm himself. "S-Sorry, Mr. Harry Potter Sir, Dobby has almost spoken ill towards his family sir." He apologies to the Majin.
"Family?" Harry questions.
"House Elves in the Wizarding Community serves Pureblood Families. They have a life of servitude to that house." Alice informs her master of the purpose of Dobby's kind.
Alex nodded, "Yes, House Elves serve one family. They are treated as slaves and know nothing else but servitude." The Pale Hobgoblin maid added to her twin's explanation.
Rimuru doesn't like the term servitude, especially only knowing how to serve someone forever and being mistreated. He looks at his son, also sharing the same thoughts on this subject. "I-Indeed, Dobby took a great risk to come here. Dobby has infiltrated Hogwarts to know where Mr. Harry Potter is, Dobby must protect Mr. Harry Potter." He said with must conviction to his role.
"Protect me? From what?" Harry questions Dobby some more.
"Yes! Mr. Harry Potter mustn't go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year!" Dobby said with a firm voice, his facial expression indicates he is serious about this threat.
"T-There is a plot, a plot to make most terrible things happen!" Dobby curls up in fear of the plot that his family conjured.
Diablo doesn't like the sound of this, nor his Lord or the maids. "What Plot? Who's plotting against my son?" Rimuru asked, wanting to know who wants to harm him.
Dobby seems to be struggling to even say the name of the person. "Dobby can't say!" He grumbles, struggling to say however the House Elf tendencies keep him from sharing.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to punish yourself Dobby," Harry said to him.
Rimuru steps forward, grateful to have this information in hand. "You took a great risk to tell us, Dobby. But you don't need to worry about my son," He ensures the House Elf that Harry is in good hands.
The House Elf looks curious about what this strange creature is saying. "Dobby doesn't worry for Mr. Harry Potter's safety?" He asked the Slime.
Rimuru nodded, looking at Diablo. "My subordinates will be coming with Harry to Hogwarts. Three of them are Demon Lords that serve me directly."
The shadow under Harry began to morph, a figure jumps out revealing a silver wolf. "I'll be in Harry-sama's shadow. Nothing can pass my scent." Harry petted Padfoot's head for being loyal as…well a dog to his owner.
"Thank you, Padfoot." Harry smiles.
Dobby looks at Diablo, smiling with confidence. "And I'll have Ultima's subordinates to track in the shadows of the school. We five will be with the young master constantly," he informed the House Elf.
Harry looks at the House Elf who was happy to hear what they say. "Dobby is much pleased to hear that, Demon Sir." He said, showing his gratitude.
Rimuru got an idea in his mind. "Dobby, since you are concerned about Harry. How about you become my subordinate for his protection?" The Demon Lord asked the House Elf if he wants to serve him instead of his family.
Dobby was happy but the ways of the House Elves got in the way of the offer. "Demon Lord is kind to offer Dobby a place in your ranks. But Dobby has to refuse, Dobby still has master and family." He sadly said. "Dobby must serve master and family for eternity,"
Alice cleared her throat, "House Elves contracts to a family is unchangeable unless the family or master gave a piece of clothing which indicates that they're no longer needed." She informed the group.
"Yes, Ms. Alice is right." Dobby heard the clock chimed, indicating it's almost breakfast. "Dobby must go! Master and family are about to wake, Dobby must prepare breakfast for them." He said as the Demon let him go.
Dobby landed on the floor, inclining his head to the Demon Lords. "Dobby wishes Mr. Harry Potter a safe year at Hogwarts." With a snap of his finger, Dobby returns to his family's home.
Rimuru looks at his son, a bit concern for him during his school year. "Harry, go back to your room and finish with your packing." He orders Harry to be upstairs.
Harry looks at his father, confused with his words. "What?"
"This an order, as your father. Okay? I need to speak with Diablo for a moment." Rimuru said to his son in a stern voice.
Not wanting to anger him, Harry obliges to his father's request. "'Kay, Dad." Harry went straight upstairs, leaving Diablo and the others with Rimuru.
Rimuru looks at his most loyal follower. "Is what Dobby say's true?"
"I sense no other motives but to warn us about this coming year, Rimuru-sama," Diablo replied to his master's request, sensing no other motives to Dobby's words. "Worry not, my Lord. Harry-sama is in good hands." The Demon placed his hand on his chest.
Rimuru chuckles at Diablo's proclamation of protecting his son. "I have no doubts that you can protect him." He thought for a moment about the threat to Harry this coming year. Rimuru wants answers about who is threatening him, Voldemort is one person but he was defeated from what Gringotts said.
"Diablo, I have a second mission for you." The Demon Lord asked his most loyal retainer.
Diablo smiles, waiting for his order. "Yes, my Lord?" he asked.
Harry felt…awkward, people were looking at his guardians. Diablo, Shuna, Gabiru, Ultima, and most of all, his father. "Um, you do realize you're hair is blue and…"
Rimuru looks at his son through the mask he wore. "My mask?"
"Y-Yeah, people are…well…looking at you." Harry looks around, observing the people of Britain staring at the Slime.
The Demon Lord chuckles, scratching the side of his mask. "Hahaha, sorry Harry. This mask hides my Magicules levels. Wizards have the ability to sense Magic levels like Majins; however, they can only tell how powerful a person is not Majins that can tell the origins."
Harry nodded, understanding the evolution difference between Wizards and Majins. "I see, I kinda feel weird. I mean that I'm at a high being than my friends, they'll probably get jealous when i-"
Rimuru stops, looking at his son. "Harry, I find it best to not tell your friends. From what the Pale Hobgoblins told me; they get jealous easily." He said to the boy.
"B-But, I find the truth to be easier when you tell them right away than just letting them find out." Harry reasons with his father, finding a way to convince him.
The Slime shook his head, placing his foot down on this conversation. "Harry, I said you are not to tell your friends. I'm sorry but I'm not risking your life for this." Rimuru stated, not wanting to hurt the boy any more if they found out. However, he felt like the truth will come out sooner than expected.
Harry watches his father walking to the column that'll take them to Platform Three and Four Quarters. Shuna steps next to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Harry-sama, your father is looking out for your safety. Please understand that your power-"
"I get it Shuna," Harry sighs, feeling guilty for opposing his father like that.
The group enters the column, immediately been taken to the other side of the train station. Once they've entered through the barrier, the station was already packed with Wizards and Witches saying goodbye to their children.
They stopped at a good place for them to drop Harry. "This car seems sufficient for the young master." Diablo smiles, looking at the Dragonewt holding the master's luggage in both hands.
"Y-Yeah, t-this car i-is good f-for H-Harry-sama!" Gabiru struggles to keep the luggage from falling on the ground.
Ultima blinks, holding Hedwig's cage in her hand. "You know there are carts for that outside." She points back to the entrance.
Gabiru felt like an idiot for not thinking of doing that before. "O-Oh…"
The Demon Lord sighed, heading into the cart. "Let's go before you drop Harry-sama's things." She walks up the stairs with Gabiru following her in.
Diablo inclines his head to both of his masters, "I'll assist by looking for a compartment for us." He walks over to the car in search of the ideal place for the young master.
Harry turns to his father, looking at him. "Dad, I-I'm sorry th-"
"HAHAHAHA, no worries Harry. You just want to look out for your friends." Rimuru pats his shoulder, being almost the same size as him. "I would do the same thing, but in your case, you need more training to control it. So going around telling everyone that you have new powers…well."
Harry understood now why he shouldn't tell his friends yet. "Okay dad," he said before hugging him when the whistle blew.
Rimuru hugged him back, smiling through his mask. "Take care Harry, remember if you need anything you can either write to me or contact me via communications." He said to him.
Shuna smiles before saying something to the two. "Harry-sama, Rimuru-sama, it's time to go." She inclines her head to her master.
Harry lets go of his father and rushed on the train car waving at the Slime. "Don't worry Rimuru-sama, we'll take care of him." she ensures the Demon Slime that his son is well taken care of with them around.
Rimuru smiles, waving at Shuna and the rest. "I know you will be safe." He said, wanting them to have a safe year at Hogwarts.
"Thank you, Rimuru-sama." Shuna inclines her head before entering the train car.
Rimuru smiles beneath his mask before hearing familiar voices behind him. "Excuse me little girl, but we're running late." He turns around, seeing Molly, Arthur, and their children rushing to the train car.
"Come on, come on, we're already late." Molly guided her children to the train car, she looks over to the masked girl behind her. "I'm terribly sorry young lady but please forgive us for pushing you away. We're running late and-"
Rimuru shook his head, "No, it's completely understandable." The Slime noticed that one child was missing in the ranks of the Weasley children. "You're the Weasleys, right? Where's your sixth son?" He asked the red-haired woman.
"Son? I'm not missing-" Molly stops, counting their children, and found out Ron is missing. "RONALD!"
Rimuru walks back to Gringotts, going over some alliance work.
Frozen Continent, The White Palace
Guy sat in a private room with Rain and Misery. The Demon Lord looked at the letter in his hands, finding this intriguing. "It seems Rimuru has sent that boy to this Hogwarts school in another world. How interesting." He looks to the side, seeing his partner walking into the room.
"Ara, ara, so Nephew has gone and went to school. How wonderful." A white-haired woman walks toward the throne, taking the letter sent by Rimuru. "How interesting it would be if we happen to visit said school? I never got a chance to speak with our new family member." She smiles.
Guy looks over to his partner, smirking at her words. "Really? I thought you didn't want to be involved with the Octagram's business." He smiles at the True Dragon.
"Oh I don't, but since Veldora claimed Rimuru as our brother that makes any heir of his, my Nephew." The White Dragon smiles, reading the letter carefully. "So being my Nephew I have made it my business to see his development as a child." Velzard reasons.
Guy stood up, walking to the balcony. "Well, I guess arrangements would be made if we're to see the boy." He smiles. "Rain, Misery send a letter to Rimuru for us to meet Harry Tempest."
"Yes, Guy-sama." The maids responded, heading off to deliver a message to the Demon Lord of Tempest.
Hogwarts Express
Harry looks around his compartment. Gabiru was fast asleep, Ultima was chewing some gum she obtains from the candy shop before they left, Shuna was reading the pamphlet the Pale Hobgoblins kingdom about Hogwarts, Padfoot was sleeping in his shadow.
Diablo, well his eyes were closed assuming his asleep. However, he was surveying the area for any potential enemies on the train.
"Maybe he's in this one." Harry turns to the door, seeing it opened by Hermione. "Harry! There you are!" they froze, seeing the compartment being occupied by the guardians of Harry.
"O-Oh, w-we didn't realize you were with your guardians." Hermione cleared her throat.
Harry stood up from his seat, happy to see his friend. "Hermione, It's good to see you." He smiles at her.
Hermione shook her head, before smiling at the black-haired boy. "Yeah, same here Harry. Have you seen Ron? I didn't see him in the other cars." She asked if Harry knew where the red-haired boy was.
Harry looks over to Diablo, knowing he might have a clue where Ron is. Diablo opens his 'human' golden eyes and looks at the bushy-haired girl. "No, I haven't Harry-sama. It seems the boy Ronald Weasley isn't on the train." He informed the two children.
Ultima pops her bubble gum, looking at Hermione. "If Diablo says that this Ron boy isn't on board means he isn't." She yawned,
"O-Oh, well…" Hermione looks at the compartment, wanting to speak with Harry privately. "Can I speak with Harry for a moment, please?"
Diablo stood up, placing his hand on his chest. "I will accompany you, young mas-"
"Um, Diablo this is a private conversation between friends," Harry informed the Primordial Demon of Black. "So if you could…wait here for me, that would be great," He pleaded with his guardians.
Shuna stood up, interrupting the Demon Butler. "Of course Harry-sama, we'll be waiting here if you need us." The Oni Princess said to the young boy.
Harry smiles before following Hermione to the other compartment to speak. The young heir closes the door for privacy when Hermione got up to him. "HARRY! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING BRINGING YOUR GUARDIANS TO THE EXPRESS!?" she exclaims.
"W-Well it's complicated. They were insistence that they're coming." Harry stated his reasons why they are here with him. "They are very, I mean very instance. Especially a House Elf appeared in my house with a warning!"
Hermione steps back, sighing at this confusing boy. "First that you've disappeared, then you claim that someone adopted you as his son, finally the guardians you have are with you twenty-four seven." She rubs her hands on her forehead. "What's next, you've gotten new magical abilities too? Because that's a laugh, but also intriguing to know."
Harry laughs nervously at what she just said. "Y-Yeah, that would be interesting if I have that. Hahahahaha…" He was sweating, trying to conceal that he literally has skills that work like new Magical abilities.
"So, what are they going to do when we're at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked, sitting down on the couch.
"Not sure, Diablo is my instructor so he'll be my tutor. Shuna is my attended who probably will make sure I've done my work. Ultima is like my bodyguard, so she'll help me with physical training, and Gabiru…" Harry froze, unsure what Gabiru is for when they're at Hogwarts. 'Shit, what is Gabiru doing exactly at Hogwarts!?'
Hermione blinks seeing the panicked expression of the young boy. "Harry? What's wrong?" She asked, seeing how Harry acts differently than last year.
Harry quickly ponders what Gabiru is doing. 'Hey voice in my head, can you help-'
{Answer: The individual known as Gabiru can be used as comic relief-}
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!" Harry shouted in frustration before seeing Hermione's sudden flinched at his yelling. "Sorry about that, talking to myself."
Hermione wasn't sure what's going on with Harry, everything he does or the people he's with is all strange. He wasn't the shy and bold-headed boy she met last year, he's more…more bold and confident than his previous personality.
Not wanting to stress him even more, she decided to skip that question. "So, about Gabiru…"
"Ah-"
{Suggestion: Try…}
'Now you're giving helpful advice!?' Harry groans in his mind before answering his friend. "Well Gabiru is my messenger, he writes reports to my dad back home of my progress in school." He said what the voice in his mind has told him.
"A-Ah, now I see. So your dad must really care for you if he had these people travel with you." Hermione commented on how generous his father is. "I wonder if we're going to meet him this November for the occupation meeting." She ponders at what Harry's adoptive father is like, in both appearance and personality.
Harry chuckles, "Yeah, you've loved him."
Diablo knocks on the door of their compartment, opening it from the outside. "Sorry to interrupt Harry-sama, but we're almost to Hogwarts." The Demon informed the two. "I advise that you get dressed in your uniforms before we arrive at the station."
"Alright, thank you, Diablo." Harry watches as Diablo returns to the other car. He turns to Hermione who was getting up from her seat.
"I better get change, see you at school Harry." Hermione walks out of the compartment, leaving Harry alone.
Harry sighs, looking at the ceiling. "This is going to be a strange year…"
