Disclaimer is in First Chapter

Chapter Four

"Very good Hermione." Harry said to Hermione as she gently rubbed the ears of Lunar.

He was teaching her and the others how to help a Pokémon relax after training.

Usually one would use one of three methods. The first was a rub down to help relax muscles, a gentle washing allowing them to cool off, or play time.

Tonks was currently play fetch with Blaze and Dazzler both of whom had taken quite the shine to the Metamorph.

Neville was spending time washing off Violet who enjoyed the feeling of the cool water.

Harry was helping rub down Grace who had taken the day to stretch out while Juliet was on egg sitting duty.

"He's taken quite the shine to you." Harry said to Lunar who was arching against the teenager like the cat most mistook his line for.

"I've always had a love of felines and while I don't have a pet myself I always thought about having a cat." She said as she scratched Lunar under his chin. Harry smiled at her answer.

After he finished rubbing Grace down she moved off bumping her son off who blinked.

"It's your shift." She told him making him blink.

"Yes Mum." He said before he rushed off to take over guard detail of the Egg from his father.

"It's his turn to take over guard duty." Harry explained to the slightly confused Hermione who nodded before she jumped when Grace laid herself down upon the teens lap.

Harry looked at the Sun Pokémon with a slight smirk making her give a slight shrug.

"What? She gives good belly rubs." Grace explained as she turned to allow Hermione to commence with said belly rub.

It had been a few days since their first adventure into Magical UK and it had been interesting to say the least.

So far the papers have only be able to publish two articles about his mysterious return and the claiming of his titles.

The Goblins were doing a very good job running the PR shield for him.

"I'm surprised your Pokémon have warmed up to us so easily." Hermione said as she continued to pet Grace causing the Pokémon to purr at her touch.

"It's because they can sense your good intentions via Aura.

If you had nothing but ideas of who being around them benefited you they would most likely have ignored you.

If you had nothing but evil in your heart then..." Harry left the sentence in the air but Hermione seemed to understand anyway.

"I know you told me that Lunar is Grace and Bolts son, however I've been meaning to ask something.

Why isn't he the same species as either of his parents?" She asked making Harry smile.

Every day she had new questions and Harry always found them interesting.

"Mainly because the two of them are actually part of a great circle of evolutions." Harry said before bringing out his Pokédex from his jacket and making the hologram of a small fox like brown Pokémon appear.

"All three of them are known as Eevee Evolutions because they all started out as this little one." Harry said towards the image.

"Eevee are known as the Evolutionary Pokémon because their DNA allows them to go through multiple one stage evolutions." Harry said before flicking a switch making Graces image appear.

"Espeon like Grace are what Eevee evolve into after they spend a great amount of time bonding and training with a partner during the daylight hours.

Hence the name Sun Pokémon." Harry said before pressing another button making Lunars image appear.

"Umbreon evolve much like Espeon only during the night time hours under the moon's rays."

"Hence Lunar." Hermione said making Harry shrug.

"Actually I didn't give them their nicknames until after they informed me of which form they wanted to take." Harry explained to her making her gain a slightly confused look.

"Espeon and Umbreon are the only 'natural' evolutions an Eevee really goes through." Harry said using air quotes around natural.

"The other evolutions depend upon items or certain environments to evolve. For instance…" He said making the image of Bolt appear. "Bolt became a Jolteon by use of a Thunderstone."

"A what?" Hermione asked him. Harry was about to answer when Lora came over and handed him his bag.

"Thank you." He said making the Lucario nod before she walked off to join her mate at the lake with Neville and Violet.

"She certainly always seems to know when you need her." Hermione observed making Harry nod.

"Of all my Pokémon Lora is the most in tune with Aura. In fact of all the species of known Pokémon her line are the only ones that can actually access its power."

He explained before pulling out a bundle from his pack. He unrolled it showing off a variety of items.

Stones of different shapes and colors were seen with a multitude of other items however Harry brought out six of the stones.

One that was green with the image of a lightning bolt, one was that pure blue almost like a sapphire, one that was yellow with the image of fire, a second green one only this time it had the image of a leaf on it, a pure white stone that had the image of an snowflake, and finally a bright stone that sparkled in the sun.

"These six stones are used to help an Eevee reach the other evolutions of their line." Harry said before picking up the stone with a lightning bolt.

"This is a Thunderstone it can be used to help certain Electric type Pokémon evolve into their final forms.

In the case of an Eevee it allows the Pokémon to unlock its Electric form Jolteon." Harry explained making Hermione nod.

"With a Water Stone…" Harry started picking up the blue stone making the image of a blue Pokémon appear.

Hermione had no doubt this Pokémon was a Water type because of the natural aqua like features that allowed an animal to swim rapidly.

"…an Eevee can become a Vaporeon their Water type form. While a Fire stone helps it become it's Fire type form Flareon." Harry said making the image of an orange and yellow Pokémon appear while holding said stone.

"Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon were the first evolutions discovered in Kanto among the Eevee Line.

It wasn't until years later that Scientist from Johto…our neighbor region…discovered Espeon and Umbreon.

The other forms were discovered in other regions." Harry explained to her making Hermione nod as she absentmindedly kept to her task of rubbing Graces belly.

"In the Sinnoh region that has the greatest amount of forest and winter like lands two more evolution were discovered." Harry said as he placed the Fire, Thunder, and Water stone back into the bundle he had pulled them from.

"It was discovered that if an Eevee were to evolve while in a forest close to moss covered stones they evolved into the Grass type Leafeon." Harry said making said Pokémon appear before Hermione's eyes.

"One could also use one of these…" Harry said lifting up the green stone with a leaf on it. "…they are called Leaf stones." Harry informed her.

"However that wasn't always the case." Harry said while she waited knowing he was going to fully explain everything to the best of his knowledge.

"Not long after my eighth birthday synthetic versions of the stones were created to reduce the need to mine them in the wild. Synthetic stones can be used multiple times to help a trainer evolve their team.

Violet for example needed this stone to become a Vileplume." He said motioning towards the only Grass type among his team.

"When creating the synthetic stones scientist also found ways to use them to allow Eevee to reach their Sinnoh forms as well as the final form that has been discovered up to now.

This also allows one to use this Ice stone to help an Eevee reach their Ice type form Glaceon instead of just traveling through snow covered grounds locating ice covered stones."

Harry explained as the ice type image appeared. Hermione thought it was quite beautiful to look at. "The final form was discovered in the Kalos Region right around the same time as Fairy types."

Harry explained as he pulled up the image of the white and pink form that seemed to have ribbons attached to it.

"This is Sylveon the final known form of Eevee evolutions. When it was first discovered they learned that an Eevee would need to know a fairy type move and have a great deal of affection towards their trainer before they evolved into this form. However now one can use this…"

Harry said holding up the final stone the one that sparkled greatly in the sun. "…a shiny stone to help them evolve." He said before she nodded.

"Why are Espeon and Umbreon the only ones that don't need a stone to evolve?" She asked making Harry shrug.

"No one knows fully the reason behind that. While there are sun and dusk stones they do not work on Eevee.

My great uncle Oak believes that unlike the others both forms require great affection as well as a certain amount of time spent out in solar and lunar light.

This could mean that the power from evolution stones are inadequate to help them evolve. That's the theory anyway." Harry said making her nod.

After a small amount of time passed Ronin spoke up from his post. "A youngling approaches." He said making Harry look up at him.

"Someone is coming." Harry said rising to his feet making Grace jump up and follow beside him while Hermione rose to join him.

Harry, Hermione, Tonks, and Neville arrived at the fence in time to see a young male with sandy brown hair approach a camera hanging from his neck.

"Cripes…it's Creevey." Neville said making Harry look towards his God-Brother.

"Creevey?"

"Colin Creevey he's a Gryffindor a year below us who liked to snap pictures constantly.

Luckily the camera he brought with him in his first year wound up saving his life…now he pretty much always carries a camera everywhere he goes.

I hear he also sometimes takes pictures for the Lovegoods and their magazine." Neville answered Harry.

Harry wanted to question the statement but held his tongue as the young boy approached.

"Can we help you Mr. Creevey?" Harry asked the boy.

"Begging your pardon Lord Black." The young boy said with a slight bow.

"I've been sent to retrieve you for the Weighing of the Wands Ceremony." He said making Harry nod.

"Ah yes I remember Sharpblade writing to me about that. Very well." Harry said as he strapped his belt with his blade into place.

"Ronin keep an eye out for any intruders…should any come you have full authority to use any means necessary to protect the pack." Harry ordered to the Scizor standing guard who nodded his head once in understanding.

"Mystic don't kill anyone unless absolutely necessary." Harry ordered over the bond making the Gyarados grumble slightly.

"Grace you and Bolt will join me along with the others." Harry said to the Sun Pokémon who nodded before they were soon joined by her mate.

"Lead on Mr. Creevey." Harry said making the younger teen nod before he started towards the castle with the other four teens and two Pokémon following behind.

As they entered into the castle Colin spoke once more. "Lord Black I would like to take this moment to thank you. You invitation was very well received by my employers." He said making Harry smirk.

"I take it that the others are already there?" He asked making Colin nod.

"Yes. Miss. Luna and I were the last to arrive and I volunteered to come collect you." Colin replied making Harry nod.

"Good, good. I'm glad my invitations arrived with little problem." Harry said making the three teens that traveled with them confused but before they could ask Colin brought them to a chamber near the Entrance Hall.

"Allow me my lord." He said as he pulled the door open.

"Thank you Mr. Creevey…you are remarkably polite for one your age." Harry complimented making Colin smile slightly at the praise.

"Ah and here is our final champion Lord Black." Ludo Bagman called as Harry walked into the room with the others.

Nearby were the other champions and the heads of their schools. The others in the room were a woman with diamond like studs around a pair of glasses, a woman wearing a thin coat with a fur collar, a serious looking man wearing fine robes, a group of photographers, a man with wild white hair, and a young teen with blond hair and wide grey eyes.

The final member in the room was the only one that Harry really knew.

"Hello Master Sharpblade…May your gold everflow." Harry said with a bow to the head accountant of the Potter family.

"And may your enemy forever fall by your blade." The Goblin replied with a bow as well.

"As per your request Lord Black I have contacted the members of press of the most read newspapers of both Magical Bulgaria and Magical France to be here today.

I have even invited Luna Lovegood of the Quibbler and her photographers Colin Creevey." Sharpblade said making Harry nod.

"Thank you Master Accountant." Harry said.

"You were the one to invite us?" The man asked Harry.

"Indeed Mr.…?"

"Jacque. Luis Jacque. I write for the French Gazette." The man said making Harry nod.

"Well Mr. Jacque I invited you because it didn't seem right to me that only the papers of Magical UK be the ones to cover the tournament.

After all this entire event is meant to improve foreign ties so it seems only fair that all nations involve get the chance to report on it." Harry said making the man nod slightly.

The woman in fur spoke up but in a language Harry didn't know.

"She is introducing herself as Elaina Marks and is thanking you for the opportunity to be included in this tournament." Sharpblade said to Harry making him nod.

"The pleasure is all mine Ms. Marks." He replied via Sharpblade.

"I guess that leaves only a few more introductions. First is Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet." Bagman said motioning to the woman with the gaudy glasses.

"Mr. Potter…"

"Skeeter!" Sharpblade hissed making the woman make a face as she stepped back.

"Forgive me. Lord Black it is nice to make your acquaintance." She said with a slight curtsy looking like she had swallowed something sour the entire time she did so.

"Ah Miss. Skeeter…I'm surprised your paper sent the woman in charge of the gossip column to report on this matter." Harry said making her glare slightly before it vanished.

"I happen to be one of the Prophets best…"

"Gossip Mongers." Harry finished for her making her glade again.

"I've read your work recently and noticed that almost every single time it read like one of those cheap papers one finds in a supermarket filled with nothing factually at all.

I shall have to do something about that soon." Harry said making her blink.

"I'm sorry…?"

"Oh don't be. After all I doubt the announcement of my takeover of the paper has reached the ears of its employees." Harry said making the woman blink.

"Which reminds me. Thank you once again for the suggestion that I buy out the remaining fifty five percent of the stocks of the Prophet." He said to Sharpblade who nodded.

"But that means…" Skeeter started to say only for Harry to smirk at her.

"At this moment Sharpblade is sending a team to 'clean up' the prophet and install my new choice of editor in chief.

However I'm sure she'll be more than willing to continue to allow you to write for the Gossip Column." Harry said making Skeeter gape at him before she practically fell back into her chair.

Tonks leaned over towards Neville. "That has got to be the first time I've ever seen Skeeter struck speechless." She whispered making Neville nod both with small smirks on their faces at sight of the gossipmonger getting her comeuppance.

Meanwhile in London a woman wearing a business suite like robes walked into the office of the Daily Prophet looking at the sight of many writers and photographers being forced out by Goblins.

Each and every one of them having been placed on the staff to be a Ministry mouthpiece or informant keeping vital information from the public's eyes.

The worst was the chief who was being dragged out in cuffs after he had tried to attack the Goblins for removing him from his job.

As they left those that remained looked up at the woman as she stood above them. "Good morning members of the Daily Prophet. As you no doubt have noticed the paper is going through an long overdue overhaul.

From this day on word we will no longer be a ministry run paper instead we will now be the paper Magical UK needs.

We will be reporting the truth that the Ministry wishes to keep hidden. We will make the public aware of the dirty little secrets of our pureblood members.

We will no longer allow the public to be the sheep the Ministry has tried to make them.

Today Ladies and Gentleman I your new editor in chief Andromeda Tonks will help lead this paper to a new era…and we have a lot of work to do." She said with a smile before the reports cheered happy to finally be working at an actual newspaper and not a Ministry approved rag.

Back at Hogwarts Bagman gulped slightly before he cleared his throat. "Yes well…" He hesitated before the female teen rose to her feet.

"Greetings Lord Black I am Luna Lovegood of the Quibbler. My father and I wish to thank you for the invitation to report for the Tournament."

"No thanks necessary Miss. Lovegood after all what is the point of the news if it is not reported?" He asked making her nod before she returned to her seat.

"Finally I would like to introduce Mr. Ollivander who shall be testing the wands today." Bagman said after she was done.

"Good day Lord Black. I must say I was expecting to meet you long before now." Mr. Ollivander said making Harry raise an eyebrow.

"Oh?" He questioned.

"Yes. After all I've been selling wands to magical children for quite some time. I was expecting you around your eleventh birthday to receive your wand.

I have quite the record for matching a magical human with their tools." He said with a smile making Harry give him a blank stare.

"Then why is Neville using a tool that wasn't made for him?" He asked making Neville blink along with Mr. Ollivander.

"Actually…I don't remember Mr. Longbottom coming into my store that year either." He said making Neville look away.

"Gram gave me…" Neville mumbled the last part before Harry walked up to him and reached into his robes.

"OI!" Neville called out as Harry pulled the wand from inside his robes and handed it over to the elderly man.

"Hmm…Oak wood, eleven and a half inches, unicorn hair…this is your father's wand Mr. Longbottom." Mr. Ollivander said making Neville sigh and nod.

"That explains it then. He's using a focus that wasn't made or paired for him. Which also explains why you have such a problem casting spells Nev." Harry added making Neville look at him.

He had told Harry about that after Harry had heard a few students mock Neville for practically being a Squib. "Indeed." Mr. Ollivander said as he handed the wand back.

"This wand doesn't view you as its caster…thus it is fighting you every step of the way making your spell work incredibly weak." The elder said before he moved and picked up a suitcase that was nearby.

"Luckily I always carry around my wares wherever I go." He said before the case opened and a full cabinet structure made itself known from the small suitcase.

"Now then why don't you all commence with the interviews while I help Mr. Longbottom." Ollivander said as he motioned for Neville to come and join him.

"Be sure to send to bill to the Potter accounts Mr. Ollivander." Harry said making the man and Neville look towards him.

"After all I am the one who embarrassed him slightly by making his problems public knowledge." Harry said winking at Neville who blinked as he realized that Harry had been planning something like this all along.

He just did it in a manner where his Gram would have no choice but to let it happen thus allowing him to have his own wand.

The interview process didn't take too long as most of the papers just wanted a little background on the champions.

Ages, dreams for the future, and such.

Skeeter hadn't fully recovered from her early shock but Sharpblade had made sure to copy all the information down with a dictaquill getting the facts and nothing but the facts.

The champions were also dismissed after Mr. Ollivander made sure their wands were in working order with Harry having to conjure a ball of light from his hand to satisfy the old man in belief of his skills without one.

As they left for dinner Neville…now with a new thirteen inch cherry wood wand with a unicorn hair core…spoke up to Harry.

"Has anyone ever compared you to a fox before? Cause that had to be one of the most sneaky planned out tricks I've ever seen." He stated making Harry chuckle.

"I have been called many things some nice some not…mostly not." Harry said the trio having no doubts about that part.

"However I did this because I believe you and I are becoming friends. And friends look out for one another.

Not to mention you and I share a great family history with that alliance between our houses.

I would be shirking in said alliance if I continued to allow you to use a tool that wasn't made for you to the point of severe damage or even death." Harry explained making Neville blink.

He didn't have many friends…in fact besides Tonks and Hermione he had none… and the fact that Harry already believed them to be so meant a lot to Neville.

"Plus…my partners seem to trust the three of you which puts you all in a great light to me." Harry added as they continued towards the hall for dinner.

"You know Harry you would've made one hell of a badger." Tonks said making Harry look at her in a confused look before she pointed up at the Hufflepuff banner.

"My house values hard workers and loyalty over everything else. I have a feeling you would've fit in perfectly here if you had been sorted with the rest of your year." She said making Harry smile.

"Honestly I would've liked such an environment, but really it's because of my Dad that I act the way I do…mostly." Harry added after some hesitation.

"My Dad values hard work to reach one's goals and has consistently proven to many in our world that strength isn't all one needs to be the best.

Heart, courage, love, and sweat will get one farther than luck of birth and genius." Harry told her making her smile.

"I like the man already." Harry chuckled at her words as they moved to sit at the Hufflepuff table.

As they ate dinner the quartet enjoyed the banter around them before the doors were pushed open by a man wearing black robes holding a cane and had a head of platinum blond hair.

"Bloody hell…what is Malfoy sr. doing here?" Tonks whispered in question as Harry felt the same taint on the man that he had felt on Karkaroff and Snape meaning he was a former Death Eater.

"Father?" Draco Malfoy asked standing up.

"Where is the one who claims to be Lord Black?!" Lucius Malfoy demanded.

"There is no 'claims' about it…the Goblins dubbed me so by right of blood from Dorea Black being my paternal grandmother." Harry said as he rose to his feet with the ring of House Black visible.

"That title belongs to my son…"

"If I hadn't of returned that might have been the case.

However your wife Narcissa Malfoy nee Black was a member of the cadet branch where as I am…by right of blood…a member of the main branch.

This means I inherit before she or any children of hers do." Harry said to the man who glared at the teen with fire flashing in his eyes.

"If you doubt this you have but to look in magical law page four-three-six subsection B paragraph 2." Harry said with a shrug.

"However that won't get you out of the real reason why you are here." Harry said to the man who was grasping his cane tightly.

"Ever since the death of one Orion Black you have been constantly drawing from the Black family vaults under the terms of Business.

As there was no head of house at the time that could challenge you this has legally been allowed to happen. However my account managers have informed me of this increased loan and I have decided to collect." Harry said making Draco blink at the news.

"Now normally one would be given ten years to pay back said loan with a low interest rate included…however since you have taken advantage of the hospitality of House Black I do not feel inclined to give you such a time frame." Harry said.

"If I remember correctly Sharpblade gave you…till the next summer to pay back the loan in full interest included." Harry said as he made to sit a chair appearing beneath him with Bolt and Grace moving to his sides.

Lucius blinked in shock at the use of wandless magic but didn't allow himself to be distracted. "There is no possible way I can…"

"Then you should've been paying the loan back as you went along." Harry said before the man could finish.

"The fact of the matter is Mr. Malfoy you and yours have been using my money for ill begotten deeds and I will not have it any longer.

You have until the summer to pay back the loan…or face Goblin justice for refusing to do so." Harry said to him making the man glare deeper before he pulled his wand out only for a bolt of electricity to hit him causing him to drop it.

Grace glowed purple before the wand flew into Harry's hand. Lucius stopped as he noticed he was now unarmed.

"And that…was your final mistake." Harry said before the doors opened again making Lucius turn to see a woman with red hair pulled back into a bun, a monocle on her eye, and a cigar in her mouth walking towards them.

Beside her was a tall man of African descent wearing red robes and a hat upon his bald head. "It seems that you were correct to be worried about action being taken against you Lord Black." Madame Bones said with the cigar still in place before she blew out a smoke ring.

"Indeed. Madame Bones I would like to formally press charges against Lucius Malfoy for thief of family monies as well as attempted assault against the Lord of his wife's House."

Kingsley Shacklebolt smirked as he pulled out cuffs and approached the Pureblood who was glaring at Harry. "I'd like to see you worm your way out of this one Malfoy." He growled to the man as he started to lead him away.

"By the way Mr. Malfoy…" Harry said making Shacklebolt stop and allow Malfoy sr. to look back.

"…the goblins have frozen any and all vaults you have. Meaning until the debt is paid in full your family will not have access to any of their gold or valuables." Harry informed him making the man suddenly go wide eyed at the implications.

This time…he couldn't bribe his way out of trouble. Harry smirked as he rose to his feet waving his hand to make the chair disappear before pulling out two treats and tossing them to Bolt and Grace.

Harry held up the wand belonging to Malfoy sr. before he snapped it in half and tossed the remnants onto the ground.

"Mr. Potter…" Dumbledore started to say as he rose to his feet.

"Lord." Harry corrected the elderly man who once more internally seethed while not showing it.

The man continued as if Harry hadn't spoken. "…surely this could've been handled more delicately?" He asked making Harry shrug.

"Oh I agree. If Mr. Malfoy had just realized he had to pay back his loans instead of just trusting his son to wipe it all away upon his inheriting the title this whole mess could've been avoided.

As it stands now he will have to face trial under Goblin law as well as be forced to dredge up any and all past deeds to see the legality of said deeds.

However I'm sure Madame Bones will be discrete in her findings." Harry said before he took his seat.

Already the room was filled with the sound of whispers of what had just happened. "Look at Malfoy Jr." Tonks said looking over at her cousin who had turned extremely pale as those around him gained smirks and looks of vindictive promise.

"I don't think he's going to last the week." Tonks said making Neville snort.

"The week…he'll be lucky to last the night." He stated making Tonks nod both then and there vowing to never get on Harry's bad side.

People that did so seemed to wind up in very unfortunate circumstances.

"Blast that boy!" Dumbledore cursed as he launched a glass bowl with his favorite lemon drops inside towards the wall of his office.

Ever since the boy had returned things had not been going well. Of course he had known that Crouch Jr. was going to enter the boy into the tournament under the guise of Moody.

Of course he had expected it to work. What he hadn't expected was to see that said boy was everything he hadn't wanted him to be.

He was well trained, politically minded, crafty, and had already made allies with the Goblins.

"Blasted Mudblood Evans is still causing me troubles beyond the grave!" He insulted internally as he began to pace his office.

Lily Evans had been a thorn in his side since the day she arrived at his school.

Not only did she constantly push for changes among her classmates her actions almost led to him losing a chance at the Potter monies.

James Potter had been a faithful follower of Dumbledore and his ideas of the light as a child…by the time of his death Albus was lucky to get a single piece of gold from the man to aid in his mission.

Now it seemed that their half-blood brat was following in her footsteps despite the fact he had never been around her or those whom had known her.

His plans were already facing trouble with the death of Ginny Weasley but now he would be lucky to salvage even one part of said plan for the boy.

"I must get young Mr. Weasley to befriend the boy…or else I fear for the Greater Good of us all." He muttered aloud never noticing the distraught look of his familiar phoenix.

"I've got to admit…this little village is very nice." Harry said looking around Hogsmeade.

Today was the first time the students were allowed to visit the nearby village during the year.

Normally they would've been allowed to visit during Halloween but with the tournament the date was pushed back.

Now just days away from the First Task of the Tournament Harry was traveling around with his human friends.

Hermione smiled as she led Harry around the area while Tonks and Neville kept back a few steps.

The pair had small smiles on their faces as they watched their brainy friend come out of her shell.

Both couldn't help but notice that as time went by Harry and Hermione both seemed drawn to one another.

Hermione's constant drive to learn about the Pokémon had seemed to bring Harry's walls down rapidly.

Harry's compliments of her mind and heart slowly caused Hermione to blush around him constantly.

More often than not Tonks and Neville would find the pair sitting and talking about their lives, their families, but mostly about Pokémon in general.

Surprisingly Hermione was the only one among the Hogwarts students that had been trusted by Grace and Juliet to handle the egg when Harry wasn't around.

Tonks also couldn't help but noticed that while other girls had tried to get his attention Harry only seemed to have eyes for Hermione.

She had even tested this from time to time with her abilities.

She'd change her hair, her height, skin tone, even enhance certain features that drew in a lot of boys. Not a single time did he comment on the changes besides to question how she was able to do this.

This had prompted Tonks to change Hermione's hairstyle once from its usual bushy mess into a sleek looking bun with a jewel in the back Harry had complimented her on the look causing Hermione to blush brightly.

"That boy is hopelessly taken with her." She said as she watched the pair perform their little flirting game as they traveled through Hogsmeade.

"I'd say they're both hopeless." Neville added making Tonks snort in agreement.

After Tonks little experiment Hermione had begun to bring little changes about her life.

Nothing that was constantly seen of course.

The changes were mainly in the way she styled her hair and the places she would spend her free time.

In fact it had become almost common to find her in the Pokémon enclosure than in the castle. Grace, Bolt, and Lunar all spent the most time with her.

As the most feline like members of the team they enjoyed her company and lavished attention.

"And you're certain we'll find a camping supply store here?" The pair heard Harry ask making Hermione nod.

"Yes Harry. Just because this village was built mainly for tourism doesn't mean it doesn't have a good number of practical stores as well."

Harry smiled at her. "I guess I shouldn't complain…at least shopping here will be easier than Hop, Hop, Hop Town." He said.

"Eh?" She asked making Harry chuckle.

"Oh yeah that's the name of the town where Breeders and Coordinators can gather the materials they need to raise their Pokémon.

It's also one of the biggest shopping towns in Kanto since it's so close to Celadon City." Harry explained making Hermione blink.

"Why do that call it Hop, Hop, Hop town?" She asked making Harry pause.

"You know…I never asked." He said making her blink before she giggled at his slightly confused face while they continued on.

"Oh yeah…hopeless the pair of them." Tonks said shaking her head while Neville just shrugged at the pair.

Eventually Hermione led the group to a little blue store called TARDIS over the door.

The group walked in only to blink at the sight before them. Instead of the quaint little store they expected…"It's bigger on the inside." Tonks gasped at the inside that seemed large enough to be a hotel lobby.

"Love that line. Always look forward to that line." A voice called making them jump as a smiling man came over.

He wore a tweed jacket, suspenders, a dress shirt, slacks, and a red bow tie around his collar. Harry couldn't help but notice he was the most normally dressed man he had seen among the Magicals.

"Hello how can I help you lot today?" He asked.

"I'm looking to replace my tent…someone decided it was okay to set fire to my last one." Harry said glaring slightly at Tonks who just looked away whistling innocently.

"Ah well then it really depends on what you are looking for." The stranger said as he motioned for them to follow.

"I'm looking for something simple, but quite durable. I travel on the road often and need something that can handle the wear and tear of the elements." Harry explained making the man nod.

"Ah a nomad…honestly the first time we've ever had one in here." The man said before he moved towards a rather plain looking tent.

"This is our most common model for those that spend great amounts of time in the wild." He said making Harry notice it was the type of tent that was made for one person during the early days of history…back when camping was more for soldiers than pleasure.

Harry looked inside blinking at the sight before him.

While the outside of the tent was plain and small the inside looking like a small flat. The main room had a stove, a sink, sofas, chairs, and doors which Harry believed would lead to bedrooms and a bathroom.

"As you can see it comes with all the basic needs one could have while on the road but light enough and durable enough to handle some of the worst weather changes." The man said as Harry pulled his head back.

"How much?" Harry asked him.

"Thirty Galleons…but for forty I'll throw in one of these." He said moving off and approached a section of the store that held other appliances stopping before a small refrigerator.

"We can set it up so you will have one of these babies inside to help preserve food making it harder for animals and other critters from getting close." He said making Harry kneel down and open the little box no longer surprised to see that the inside looked large enough to be considered the same size as a restaurants ice box.

"How long would it take before it is ready?" Harry asked making the man shrug.

"I can have it sent to the castle before dinner." Harry nodded.

"I'll take it." Harry said reaching into his coat and pulling out a Gringotts voucher and a pen to fill it out.

The man accepted it and moved off to the register where a short woman with long brown hair and a bright smile stood.

"Hello I see my husband was able to help you find everything." She said making Harry nod.

"He led us right to what I was looking for." Harry said making the woman nod.

"Good…usually he gets himself and our customers so lost they wind up never buying anything." She said making the man sulk slightly before she accepted the voucher from her husband.

"Alright Lord Black we'll have the tent and all the features sent up to you tonight." She said making Harry nod before his eyes suddenly glowed for a moment before he smiled.

"Thank you." He said before rushing out of the store with the trio following.

"Harry what…?" Hermione asked once they were outside before the four of them vanished from the area and appeared back in the enclosure.

Hermione, Neville, and Tonks were all a little wobbly on their feet as Harry walked past Psymon.

"Thank you my friend." He said as he patted the Alakazam on the shoulder.

"Anytime Boss." Psymon said before Harry rushed off towards Grace who had a wobbling egg resting close by.

"What…was that?" Tonks demanded after she regained her footing.

"That was Psymon teleporting us because the little one is hatching." Harry explained to her as he laid out a blanket before him.

The trio of teens watched as Harry spread out said blanket before gently taking the egg.

The Egg wobbled a little more before it suddenly glowed white. The trio watched in amazement as the egg changed shape until it became a small animal before the light vanished.

Hermione gasped at the sight of the little almost teddy bear like Pokémon that now sat upon the blanket.

"Hello little one." Harry said in such a gentle and warm tone the teens blinked to hear it.

The little one looked at Harry and tilted its head before Harry gently lifted the baby into his arms.

Harry cradled the babe in his arms as he accepted a bottle that had been floated to him by Grace.

"Here we go…you must be starving after all that effort." Harry said as he gently brought the food to the little Pokémon.

"Ursa." They heard the babe say before it clamped down on the nipple of the bottle and started to drink.

As it did the group noticed a small blue energy that covered both father and child like it was warm blanket keeping them safe from the elements.

"Welcome to the world…Kallisto." Harry said naming his newest daughter who continued to enjoy her first meal while in her father's arms.

After she finished Harry gently brought her to his shoulder where a towel was already in place as he gently rubbed her back giving a gentle pat every once in a while until they all heard a loud burp.

"Oh…that was a good one." Harry cooed before he brought the little one down.

Grace approached and gently started to give the babe its first bath much to the joy of the little Teddiursa.

As this happened Harry pulled out his Pokédex and for the first time the group of teens heard it speak.

"Teddiursa the Little Bear Pokémon…" A mechanical female voice said. "…This Pokémon likes to lick its palms that are sweetened by being soaked in honey. Teddiursa concocts its own honey by blending fruits and pollen collected by Beedrill. This Pokémon is female and has the ability Quick Feet. It currently knows the moves Covet, Fake Tears, and Scratch. It has not unlocked the Egg Move Close Combat." She said before Harry turned it off.

"Really wish they came up with a model that only fed one the information they needed.

I already knew she was a female, and her species. I just needed to know what ability she was born with and the moves of in her life." Harry said to himself.

He looked up at the trio.

"Only one can approach for now while the other two will have to wait. Don't want to overwhelm her." Harry said to them before Hermione approached slowly.

Once Grace was done she moved back allowing Kallisto to see the other human.

The Little Bear Pokémon looked at the girl in curiosity and wonder before holding her arms out to her. Hermione smiled as she gently lifted the little one and cuddled her close.

"Hello Kallisto. Your father and I have been waiting to meet you for quite some time now." She said as she held the little one close making Harry smile brightly at the sight as Kallisto raised a hand and started playing with the girl's hair.

Hermione giggled softly as she started to run her fingers through the soft fur along the babes back.

Tonks and Neville watched the seen and both couldn't help but think that they were watching a pair of parents interact with their daughter for the first time outside of the hospital.

Both also couldn't help but smile at the sight of Hermione cooing at the baby Pokémon while Harry smiled nearby watching them with love clearly in his eyes.

"They may be hopeless…but you got to admit they make a cute couple." Tonks thought with a smile noticing that Grace was looking at her and nodded as if agreeing with her.

The sight made Tonks almost laugh. "At least she has the approval of all his non-human family members." She joked internally.

That's all for now. I hope you all enjoyed it and can't wait to hear what you think.
