Sorry for the late update, been busy with adult things like getting a job.
Enjoy the chapter!
"Explain to me why I have to use a wand again?" Blacky looked down at his charge, who was currently twirling the stick between his fingers, an annoyed look on his face. The duo were currently on their way to the train station to head off to Hogwarts. Harry was in a foul mood, seeing as he couldn't bring any of his gaming consoles with him.
"Don't look so mad Harry, you're scaring the passengers." Glancing at the onlookers he huffed before fiddling with his wand. "I wonder how the others are doing." A yellow square popped up from Harry's collar. "We're doing okay! It's a little stuffy but we'll manage." Blacky rolled his eyes as Harry poked the small sponge with his wand.
"It's a good thing that sour professor was kind enough to teach you that spell." "He probably thinks I'd be using it for my books or something." Harry gave the sponge another poke before vanishing the stick and pulling a notebook from somewhere.
Blacky suddenly began to sweat. "You're gonna do that now?!" "What? I need something to do on this long train ride." "Couldn't you just read a book or something?" Harry threw the disguised toon an innocent smile. Blacky threw his arms up in defeat. "I'm not responsible for anything you break."
"We're lost." Harry sighed in annoyance as they once again pass platform 9. Blacky raised an eyebrow as the teen plopped down on a bench and scowled. Sitting beside him, the toon gave the platforms a look, his eyes glowing from behind his glasses.
"Harry," The boy looked up. "You remember the secret entrances to toon world?" "The ones hidden in plain sight? What about them." The elder chuckled as he pointed toward the lone wall between platforms 9 and 10. "Can you sense anything different about that wall?" Harry was about to say no when his eyes caught the shimmer outlining the stone. "It's a sort of portal, like the ones in toon world." Blacky nodded as the golden glow around the boy's eyes faded.
"It's probably the entrance to platform 9 and 3/4." Now excited Harry leapt from the bench and raced forward. "Wait! Careful-oh nevermind." The toon face-palmed as the boy collided with another person. The two yelped as they went down, bags and stuff dropping to the ground. Blacky snickered as he approached the two downed pre-teens. "Oh wow, we finally found someone taller than you brat. And it's a girl to boot." Harry scowled at the short comment before leaning back on his knees to asses the damage.
"I'm sorry-,"
"Wow this kid's got manners."
"-for knocking you over." He ignored the toon as he helped the girl to her feet. A glance to the floor and his gaze caught the title of the book the girl dropped. "Oh cool, you're going to Hogwash to?"
"It's Hogwarts."
"Whatever." The girl lifted her head up and the two looked eyes. Blacky caught the look and began to obnoxiously hum the lion king song 'Can you feel the love tonight?' Harry heard the noise and glared at him. "You're obnoxious Blacky!" The toon wasn't listening as he began to hum the song even louder, causing the boy's face to grow red.
Growling Harry lunged at the other, tackling him to the ground. "It was just eye-contact!" "I'm not ready to give you the talk!" "We just met!" The girl watched them wrestle on the ground before clearing her throat.
"If you two are done, there's a train that will be leaving soon." That caught their attention, Blacky stood from the ground with Harry in his arms bridal style and grabbed their stuff. "Thanks for the warning kid, we best be going." The toon carried his cargo toward the wall and vanished through it.
"So we go from a modern setting to something out of a 40's movie." Harry deadpanned as he walked through the crowded corridor in search of an empty compartment.
Blacky merely hummed as he trailed behind him, his eyes gazing at the windows and doors.
"I haven't seen an old model train in centuries, it takes me back."
"Dude you're old."
They finally found an empty compartment way down towards the end of the train. Shoving his suitcase onto the racks Harry settled down with his pencil and began to doodle. Blacky watched him for a moment, visibly sweating once little stick figures began to wander over the paper. "So, when were you gonna tell me about the little friend you have sitting in your shadow?"
The boy didn't react as he looked up at the toon.
"I thought you knew already."
"Yeah, I did. What I'd like to know is how you have a heartless following you around?" Harry paused in his drawings, a curious look in his eyes.
"I'm not entirely sure why, but on my last visit to the Disney district I wandered into Kingdom Hearts by mistake and as I wandered around I might have caught the attention of the residents there." Blacky's jaw dropped as a rather small heartless poked out from Harry's cloak, purple eyes bright.
"His name is Misfit." He rubbed the toon's head, causing him to chirp. The other toon merely sighed in defeat. "Are there more little shadows I should be worried about?" He really didn't like the look in his charge's eyes before another toon popped out.
"Hey Blacky! It's been awhile." "Nice to see you again Bendy, how's Borris doing?" "He's good, a little shaken though." The little horned demon gave him a grin as he plopped down beside Harry. Blacky looked at him. "Anyone else?" "None so far."
He sighed. "It's gonna be a long year."
