-1Previously in chapter five:
"Don't worry I am getting there by magic. I will see you in a while." Harry stated then he placed his hand on Asia's head and they both disappeared in a flash of fire, which startled Petunia that she dropped the glass she was drinking spilling the brandy all over the white carpeting.
Chapter six Harry and Ceidhli shopping
When Harry blinked he noticed they weren't in the living room again more he looked around and noticed two things one: that they were in an alley and not near the supermarket and two: that Ceidhli was still Asia. A moment later she turned to Ceidhli again.
"Where are we?"
"London, Harry about two seconds away from a supermarket," answered Ceidhli looking around and nodded to herself.
"Why didn't you what you did in Japan and put us right in front of the supermarket with no one noticing."
"I was a dog now and it is a different spell which is quite difficult to do, when all I needed to do was come here without any spell. What you don't like alleys?"
"Just wanted to know the reasons? Have a cow, why don't you." Harry teased and then quickly went towards the opening in front of the alley out of sight.
Harry was laughing as he entered the part of the supermarket where the carts were. He looked around to see many women and men looking at him like he was crazy may be he is. The children who were accompanying their parents were laughing and giggling at him because his hair was wild and his clothes were messed by his run and he looked some what funny scared. A moment later Ceidhli jumped on his back and his knees bent at the additional weight, he grunted in surprised but he quickly straighten and held on to her.
"Gotcha," she yelled as she tightened her legs around his waist her arms around his neck. The women and men around the front were now staring at the two of them who were quite beautiful and handsome both oblivious to the stares they were getting.
"Ceidhli get off me, you're heavy." Harry whined as he moved towards the shopping carts while Ceidhli was still on his back he pretended to struggle to carry her.
"I have you know I am very thin and my body doesn't know the meaning of heavy." Ceidhli stated while smiling at a little girl who was staring at the two in awe.
"Boy I didn't know that your body took after your head." Harry mumbled as he spoke, he didn't know what was happening to him, he rarely acts this way in public. Ceidhli hit him hard in the shoulder when she heard him mumbling she didn't hear him, but she knew that he was talking about her. She quickly jumped off him startling him with the lost of her weight enough to make him fall to the floor when he lost balance. Ceidhli started to laugh when he fell to the floor with a startled look.
"Serves you right for calling me fat, " Ceidhli said smiling down at him her hands on her hips and her eyes shining brightly along with her gem was now bright yellow and warm red mixed together.
"I didn't say you were fat. I said that you were heavy there is a difference to any one with some sense and a brain."
"Not in my mind there isn't."
"Well get a new brain which will show you that I am right. Now help me up." Harry said and held up his hand so Ceidhli could pull him up all the while sticking her tongue out at him. When he was stood up together they went to get a cart then entered the supermarket doors while not acknowledging anyone who was watching them act up, They acted as if they had done nothing weird.
"So what are we getting first?" asked Ceidhli, who was looking around the large store.
Harry pointed to his left and the closest thing, the produce section of the store. "Lets get some fruit and vegetables because Hermione would want some when she is working over at number 4 plus we will need some healthy things around."
Ceidhli nodded in agreement, "yeah I'm thinking that getting some healthy stuff is a good idea, I need to go on a diet. . ."
Harry looked at her as if she was insane. "you don't need to go on a diet."
"Thanks Luv, but I have to be a certain size by August and I am not there yet so yes I do."
"Why?" Harry asked curiosity may had killed the cat, but he decided that it was a good way to go.
"I have a job that needs to get done, and I have to wear a certain outfit." Ceidhli said with a half hearted smile, Harry had a feeling that, that explanation was the only thing he was going to get.
Slowly they made their way through the store buying healthy things to make Hermione and Ceidhli's mind ( if her stomach wasn't going to be) happy and junk food for everyone else including Ceidhli's bottomless pit. Ceidhli explained that they had to stock up for when they got to the Order's headquarters if by then Harry still hadn't told anyone about Ceidhli being who she was they would need a way for her to eat since they really can't sneak food up to her that isn't 'dog food'.
Junk food included multiple kinds of soda- root beer, coke, Pepsi, orange, and any kind that Ceidhli wanted and Harry wanted to try which was kind of fun choosing different kinds by the names and the pictures on the box that held the soda all the sodas laid on the bottom of the cart with a couple of shrinking and expanding spells around it.
Harry pushed the cart through the lanes easily as Ceidhli cast a feather light spell on it. They got different kinds of potato chips: barbeque, salt and vinegar both for Ceidhli who swore they were the best. Harry didn't know which kinds to get so he grabbed the only kinds he had before, plain chips and sour cream and onion. Ceidhli grabbed a lot of candy she explained that even though she was on that diet it was a must have or death would be happening. She bought six different kinds of chocolate for her and Hermione, candy bars, candy suckers, and lollypops. Harry also picked out a bunch of candy that he always loved when at primary school, parties at school happened every so often and the teacher at the time usually bought everyone small gifts and some candy- it was usually the only time that he got stuff, he choose lemon heads, warheads, hot bolls tootsie pops. He wanted to give the war heads to Professor Dumbledore as a joke.
Cereal was the major thing for people who were living on their own to have especially when there wasn't someone cooking for him or her. She got two boxes of her favorites: Trixs, Coco Puffs, Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms, and even a couple of different healthy boxes of cereals for breakfast and not snacks like the other cereals were for as Ceidhli explained. Together they picked out a lot of snack foods that would fill even Ron's stomach when he came over.
After two fun filled hours of goofing off in the market talking about anything and everything Harry wanted, Ceidhli explained how to control adults with kind words and a suave personality. He found out it was important never to yell adults, adults can handle and deal with yelling teens but a cool, confident young adult was different story altogether. As they walked around she showed him how to walk and act to get people to notice him and not the scar, she also tried to explain girls for him that was much more difficult explanation.
Ceidhli and Harry moved to the registers to get ready to leave after going around the store a bunch of times. While Harry and Ceidhli was putting things on the belt on the register the two girls who were working on register and bagging the groceries began to giggle as Harry came into view one was watching Harry hungrily and the other was blushing like there was no tomorrow.
"Ceidhli?"
"Yes?"
"Cool this works while you are human?'
"Duh, oh course it does, what's up?"
"Why are those girls giggling and looking at me like that?"
"Well my dear boy, you are cute and hot so they are watching you like all women do when they see someone cut and hot."
"I am not cute or hot." Harry said looking at Ceidhli as if she was nuts and Ceidhli rolled her eyes at him.
"To me you aren't hot but you are cute, but to those girls you are very hot and in those clothes really help out your case because they are so cool looking they make you look better and when you start working out your body will get some more hot muscles."
"Why would my clothes make me look hotter? I mean do girls like a guy to dress a certain way?"
"Oh you have much to learn young Jedi. From cool prep look, the rebel without a cause look and the favorite among ladies the boy toy sexual look- which you won't be wearing for a long time got me."
"Understood. Just to let you know girls are very confusing."
"Of course we are, it is our right and privilege to confuse the weaker sex. Don't worry though I will teach you everything you need to know about girls."
"I don't know if I should be thrilled or I should be afraid." Harry joked looking at Ceidhli who was smirking, a smirk that would make Snape proud.
"Be afraid Harry, be very afraid. I am going to teach you to be charming and become a lady killer, even if it kills you in the process, which judging by how you handle girls now it could very easily kill you."
"Ha ha so funny I forgot to laugh I am not that bad." Harry said glaring at Ceidhli who was holding back her laughter as she remembered the Cho incident last year.
"Sir?" Harry whipped his head around to se the cashier and service clerk was watching him.
"Yes?" Harry asked smiling gently, the clerk giggled and the cashier blushed.
"You total comes to $615.98 pounds."
"Wow that's a lot of money but I am not buying it, Ceidhli how are we/ you buying it all?" Harry asked looking towards his amused aunt.
"Credit card, the only way to pay." said Ceidhli reaching into her jacket and pulled out a wallet with multiple credit cards in it colors varied from silver, gold and multi-colored ones.
"Here you go, this one loves having a workout." Ceidhli said as she gave a visa gold to the cashier and pushed Harry down farther to make room for the next person in line to unload their groceries.
"Here you go Ms. Storm," said the cashier looking at the name on the card as she handed it back to Ceidhli.
"Thanks lets go Harry we have places to be and things to buy." Ceidhli took her card back and signed the paper that the cashier gave her before the two began moving out the door letting Harry push the cart following Ceidhli.
"What are we going to do with the food?" Harry asked looking at all the things that needed to be frozen and refrigerated.
Ceidhli pointed at the bags of food and then said. "I command you to return to Harry's room at Privet Drive number 4 and put yourselves away." Then all the food and the bags disappeared without a single sound.
"That is cool." Harry stated in awe of Ceidhli's power and thrilled that he maybe able to do that also soon.
"Alrighty where to next? Diagon Alley?"
"Yeah we need to get supplies." thinking about the books and other stuff they needed for training.
"We do? I just wanted to go robe shopping." Ceidhli said smiling sweetly and Harry rolled his eyes at Ceidhli's attempt at a joke.
"Funny, what am I going to do about my looks?" Harry asked thinking that his black unruly hair, green eyes and lightening bolt scar was a dead give away for the boy-who-lived.
"You will grow into them." Ceidhli said with a straight face, but when Harry made a funky angry face she broke into a giggling fit until she fell to the ground.
"Are you quite finished?" Harry asked his arms folded across his chest looking around at the people who were staring at Ceidhli before he motioned for them to go away.
Ceidhli nodded and sucked in a breath stood back up and then said, "a hat and sunglasses will work. The hat- to hid the unruly hair and that annoying obvious scar on your forehead and your gorgeous emerald eyes that scream Harry Potter will be hidden by the sunglasses." Ceidhli said in a high alto voice then rolled her eyes when Harry didn't get the untold joke.
She quickly checked around making sure no one was watching then with a snap of her fingers a black skull cap and two sunglasses came out of now where. Ceidhli grabbed one pair of sunglasses that would hid her own blue eyes they were blue tinted the top was a deep blue that faded into a real light blue on the bottom, they created an image that you wouldn't be able to see her eyes. After putting the glasses on she took her hair out of the high pony tail letting it fall like a wave of black she quickly shook out her hair and as Harry watched her hair shook out the midnight black color and changed to a platinum blonde and it began to shorten itself until it reached her chin. It was look like Tonks' Metamorphmagus ability but to Harry Ceidhli made it a lot easier.
"Wow is black. . ."
"My natural color. . . yes it is but I don't think that you have so many hairstyles, am I a lot like a spy or supermodel always changing so no one can recognize me. Its a type of shapshifting I will be able to teach you if you want."
Harry nodded and then asked. "what about my glasses? I can't wear these sunglasses over them! I will look dorky."
"The sunglasses will be the correct prescription which your old ones weren't, your magic was compensating for it now you won't be so wiped when using your magic. By the way while shopping we are so going to do something about your glasses, either a new pair or contacts I haven't decided which, because your old ones were ruining your new image."
"What image?" Harry asked looking confused.
"A cool Harry Potter." Ceidhli said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I am already cool." Harry said as he struggled to put on the skull cap and sunglasses, his own glasses were now in his inside jacket pocket. Ceidhli simple gave him a look that screamed 'yeah right' and shook her head in mocked sadness. Together they began to walk out of the supermarket parking lot and into London's busy streets.
"We aren't going by fire travel?" Harry asked thinking walking was kinda sounds boring and didn't really suit Ceidhli.
"No it only takes about ten minutes from here and I like to walk even in these boots which I have to say I love." Ceidhli said lifting her boot to show them off to Harry. Harry smiled and nodded then held out his arm for her like a gentleman would do and together they began walking into the heart of London.
Within twenty minutes they had reached the Leaky Cauldron because Ceidhli had a need to stop every few yards to either check out one of the shop windows to see the new fashions or to talk to a complete stranger who seemed down or grumpy in the beginning of the conversation but after talking with Ceidhli for a moment they seemed to grow happier they were smiling and chatting with her before moving on. After a while Harry grew embarrassed by Ceidhli continued conversations with complete strangers. When they reached the door to the Leaky Cauldron Harry pulled at Ceidhli's arm as she continued to talk to a woman ignoring the fact that they had finally reached their destination. When she was finally finished talking and the woman walked away he opened the door for her and they both went in quickly and quietly until the door shut behind them.
"Did you have to talk with mostly everyone we saw?" Harry asked embarrassed and looking at her strangely.
"I didn't have to. I wanted to. You learn so much from talking with someone you don't know. One gentleman saw a Death Eater attack two weeks ago but didn't report it not knowing what it was. Now I know and we can you something with that information later."
After stating that both Harry and Ceidhli realized that they were inside the pub and they surveyed the pub for Death Eaters and possible threats, Ceidhli used her ability to see auras while Harry checked out any one glaring at them, cause usually Death Munchers would do that to him.
"Do you see any Death Moochers ?" Ceidhli asked.
"How am I to tell which one are Death Eater! No one is wearing a black robes and white masks!" Harry said sarcastically while rolling his eyes at her.
"One don't be rude you little butthead. Two don't roll your eyes at me. Three since you are so bad a finding the bad guys the first thing we will learn is aura reading it is the easiest way to see if the person is dark or not. And before you ask this isn't something that you learn in divination it is an ancient battle magic. "
"You can read them then."
" Yep, it is quite easy after the first couple hundred tries." Ceidhli said joking around but Harry ignored the joke and began yelling at her instead.
"Then why did you want me to see if I could find some Death Eaters!" Exclaimed Harry looking frustrated Ceidhli rolled her own eyes.
"First off stop being such a drama queen, I swear, second you could before, you could tell who was darker than most. Think about it you were never comfortable around Malfoy or Snape completely or Mad-eye-Moody when he was really Crouch Jr. But you ignored your feelings when dealing with Jr. because he was' so helpful' and 'nice' also that Albus trusted him.
You can feel the darkness that surrounded them all you need now is to learn to focus it so you can see the aura and danger around a person before they try killing you. Learn to trust your instincts Harry they will save you time and time again if you let them."
Harry was about to mind speak again but a voice rang out from one of the corners of the pub interrupting their conversation and their walk.
"Muggle born should really stop coming in here, they are going to make it real easy for You-Know-Who to kill them, and that would be such a pity." said a gentleman wizard in a scornful and sarcastic voice with a cloak hiding his face so no one could see him.
"Who said we are muggle born you complete ass prick." Ceidhli demanded in an annoyed and pissed voice her hands on her hips she was the sister of Merlin, she was magic itself how dare he presume anything. The man was to speak but Harry cut him off not wanting Ceidhli any more pissed off than she was.
"Ceidhli let's go we have things to do and places to be remember shopping? Don't bother with something that is not worthy of your time. That includes men who believe that they are something that they are not." Harry said calming down Ceidhli he had a feeling that it wasn't something that anyone wanted, while dealing with Ceidhli Harry had pissed off the cloaked man by saying that he wasn't worthy and a fake.
"Why you little. . ."the man quickly got up from his seat but before he could reach for his wand that was in his pocket Harry had some how got his own wand pointed at the man's throat without even remembering to grabbing it from his own pocket.
"Don't even think about it asshole. I don't mind hexing you if you lay one finger on your wand or think about pointing your wand at me or my aunt. Actually I wouldn't mind you giving me a reason at all." Harry said coldly his voice was like ice and it made the people in the pub except Ceidhli shivered at the sound of his voice it was like someone had walked over their graves.
Tom the owner of the Leaky Cauldron was watching from behind the bar pretending to clean the counter, he couldn't understand why such a cold hard voice seem to remind him of someone he knew but it did and he couldn't remember who it was. But the strange thing was even though the voice was cold and hard he really wasn't afraid of the man his heart knew who it was even if his mind didn't. He watched as the young man's beautiful aunt went to him switching their earlier placement of who was calm and who was going to fight, placed a hand on his arm and began pushing him gently towards the entranceway to Diagon Alley.
Tom did notice as they walked away from the cloaked man that neither of them relaxed and that the aunt seemed to be watching the cloaked man the rest of his customers, to watch for dangers from any one in the pub before she followed the young man outside she turned to Tom and smiled gently then mouthed 'I am sorry for the trouble' that didn't happen then left with her nephew out towards Diagon Alley leaving a silent and shocked room to try and grasp what happened.
