Magic, for generations people have lived with the idea yet none can explain it. History tells us that magic is constant in every culture. Some say it is a force of nature,others say it is a divine grace, some even say it is alive. Of course, some say it the exact opposite. A heresy, an act against God or a curse. Neither is wrong but so far from being right.
Magic is defined by the user of it for each person is unique so is the magic behind it.
Chapter 1: Where it all started
Snape rushing through the corridors hurrying to inform his master about his latest discovery; having been kicked out unceremounously was embarrassing but he still got the main gist of it, his master's reign would end unless the prophecy was stopped.
Kneeling first in front of his master, he allowed his master to enter his mind knowing any resistance is certain death. His mind flet like being shoved into a whirlpool grounded by tar. He wanted to pull out but knowing his master such an action would be seen as treason and his fear of death was the only reason he held on. What seemed hours which only lasted seconds, the paid stopped. Snape looked at his master and surprised to see a smile on his face, not the type of smirk causing others paid but a true smile.
Snape was genuinely surprised that even Voldemort picked up on it.
"You seemed surprised my loyal Death Eater. I had always hoped that a challenge would appear and finally one has." Voldemort suddenly sneered "A newborn destined to defeat me with Dumbledore knowing, I musn't take any chances. Most likely he will secure the child, raise the child possibly as his own weapon and from there secure a powerbase where masses will follow." Voldemort pressed his hands together as is in a silent prayer while Snape stood in silence waiting on his Master's orders.
After a while Voldemort spoke, his answer to the challenge surprising even him.
"Can you repeat that master?" asked Snape
"I will allow this one transgression to pass Severus since you question me so yet I still have uses for you if not I don't think I can trust Bellatrix or Lucius with this. I need you to beg,plead and crawl towards Albus Dumbledore and secure a position at Hogwarts. Your skill in hiding your emotions is almost equal to my own" Snape beamed hearing the compliment but almost looked sour knowing what is needed of him "I shall be your eyes and ears, I will not disappoint." Snape left, cloak billowing behind him with an amused Dark Lord thinking of ways to copy his billowing effect
"Maybe I've been a tad influenced by some Muggle cartoons but damn, I want a billowing effect too." thought Voldemort as he prepared to summon his inner circle
Albus Dumbledore sat quietly at his quarters thinking about the lastest information he has, A prophecy to end the terror called Lord Voldemort in the hands of a child to be born at the end of July with parents defying him at least thrice could mean now which will qualify two boys he had on mind or in worse cases in the future when some members of the Order meet the requirements.
He also knew that Voldemort had sent a spy there and was not able to hear that he himself will mark that savior so he himself had to wait until Voldemort attacks. He hated being outside of control and the best he can do is force a confrontation with either the Potter family or the Longbottoms to meet him head on and craft the boy into his weapon.
Either family has wealth and political power as well as magicks that predate Hogwarts itself and he would like to add more knowledge to his arsenal. He decided. One lifetime isn't enough. Time to make a few fire calls.
"My friends" Voldemort hissed softly to his inner circle. To his right, Lucius Malfoy stood with a sneer on his lips and an air of recent death, behind him is Bartimus Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange with a smile on their faces possibly from a good raid,multiple muggle deaths or both. Beside Bellatrix stood her husband Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange. These particular he trusted well enough to not let him down. Others he would include on that small list would just be Snape, Antonin Dolohov and Augustus Rookwood. The rest however needs a bit more...persuation
Voldemort raised his hand to start the meeting and everyone fell silent "I have come across information Snape has risked himself for and even now doing so. Eventually you may find some displeasure upon seeing his current state and I ask only that you tell me this before you act on it because you may find yourself in a position where you work against me...and of course you know what happens to those who have failed me."
He sighed before he continued "Snape has acquired information about a prophecy, about a mere child born supposedly to end my reign." Cries of outrage and murder where expected, though Bellatrix screaming gutting the child in front for the parents did have merits. Sadly, he would need to disappoint.
"As much as I would like to enact on those sentiments, unfortunately I am not so foolish to act on Dumbledore's wishes" he paused knowing that making it look like an enemy's plan would make him seem less of a coward. "I know that the information that Severus has given me is incomplete and many have fallen due to lack of knowledge. I wouldn't even be surprised if right now Dumbledore is acting on the prophecy which is why for now we have to secure some information before acting."
"Rookwood. Your task will be to infiltrate the Ministry, gather any information you have. The faster the better but do not rush. I shall trust your experience in gaining a position within the Unspeakables but I also expect some interference with Dumbledore running damage control. So for now, I don't mind whether it takes you years to get said position."
"Lucius, I want you to position yourself as the right hand of the Minister in any means. Influence his decisions to our cause. If possible do so to assist Rookwood but if not that is also acceptable"
"Bella, I expect you and your husband to start donating to charity and making yourselves a respectable name in order for your wealth to be of some use. Ask Lucius to assist you so that any assests you donate will not go to waste on foolish Mudbloods. I expect eventually your public opinion will sway some of the more neutral factions eventually once they so you do good. Even if it is just publicity."
"Lastly, I ask the rest of you to inform all the current Death Eaters that none shall harm Severus in any manner. Some may find his current position distasteful and I assure you that I was the one who has asked him of that. He should know that failure will meet his swift end. Regardless of which end he fails at."
"The rest of you will accompany me on one last raid before I will put my plans on hold. I have a project in mind and I would need some of your assistance creating a distraction." Voldemort sneered watching his followers offer their services knowing that regardless of the situation and he would never admit this but playing chess with the old man was always fun. "Challenge indeed"
thoguht Voldemort as he watched his follower rally the rest.
Dumbledore stood above Snape emitting a quiet aura of power. Snape understood one thing and that right now he was completely under Dumbledore's mercy. He could try to disapparate but that would only end him getting killed by his other master. So for now, all he could do is show some for of repentance.
Dumbledore stared at Snape thinking why would Voldemort send his most successful spy to him. he knew that him dying was the better choice but really this could also either be the best moment to regain footing for the Light or have dire consequences. He did no believe even for a second that Snape had remorse just because Voldemort targeted his childhood friend and crush. No, he will always belive Voldemort will be two to three steps above that at least.
With that in mind, he would adopt a wait-and-see tactic while drawing the bait themselves.
He motioned for Severus to stand and grasp his hand. Murmuring incantations and forcing him to make an unbreakable vow about any form of betrayal. He then Obliviated then man and modified his memoried and left the man thinking he has secured a position beside him unknowingly of the vows he just made. He made sure that safeguards had to place knowing that Snape may always report to Voldemort. He was fine with that, after all, he will only provide the information in front of Snape when either Voldemort cannot undo them or when the plan itself is merely a distraction of his real ones. He chuckled as we looked on the unconcious form of Snape as he may never understand why he will always be compelled to give him neccessary information but the less he knows the better. All for the greater good of course.
"I refuse." James replied bluntly as he continued to waived his wand around the house shrinking objects and levitating them into the bag. Dumbledore rubbed his temples while trying to convince the young man to stay.
"Look. I have went and done everything that I can for Magical Britain under your orders and we are closer to defeating Voldemort than we are the first time I joined. While I understand that you would like me to stay, I would always put my family first before anything else and unfortunately staying here regardless of protections would still endanger my son. The fact that you offering this means there is someone either target me, my wife or my family as a whole. So no Dumbledore." Before Dumbledore could even reply, James finished shoving everything of value down his bag, grabbed his watched and yelled "Potter Manor!" before disappearing.
Dumbledore stood in shock. He was planning on a silent Confundus to persuade him so that he can watch whether or not Voldemort will act. With that plan taken away, he would have to resort to plan B. Dumbledore chuckled. "Challenge indeed" the thought before apparating away.
-8 years later-
Harry Potter knew he was different. He accepted the fact since his parents explained it to him when they moved to Japan. Most of the time, he didn't mind. In classes,being different had advantages like in English class since his parents made sure he still knew his roots. In sports, he also excelled since he never seemed to get tired but most of the time he was average in everything else. He also knew he was different in another way. While his peers discussed fashion,games and technology at home,him on the other hand discussed magic with his parents and sister.
Currently, Harry Potter is finishing playing with his friends at Sakura Academy. He currently enjoys soccer and mostly plays as mid field or striker. He enjoyed his afternoons with his team though he always got teased about being a mama's boy since his mom would always pick him up afterwards. He felt embarassed but he didn't mind too much.
Some days though, his mom would ask him to just go home on his own especially if he was walking home with Athena since she had her own errands to attend to. She trusted him enough to not wander on those days and he liked the amount of trust she put into him. She still hasn't explained to him why she giggles about it and just shrugged it off as them being cute together.
Athena Tennousu, granddaughter of the principal and mostly known at school as one of his best friends. She currently hangs out with him because one, she can practice her English further. Two, he wasn't intimidated by her or by her social status. Three, he is her 'rival' in all of her studies and she would not let up until she beats him being top of his batch. Lastly, she lives two blocks away from him and does her best to annoy him though he doesn't know didn't mind her being around but he also wanted to her along with his other best friend, Tsubasa to know his secret.
Tsubasa Ozora is his other best friend who is his co partner in crime as well on the field. They were always called a Golden Duo during interschool matches last year since they knew each other so well. Unfortunately though, Tsubasa was too much of a soccer fanatic and while they liked each other well enough, there are days where he wished he would shut up.
Today was just one of those days. After practise and said his goodbyes to his team, he had a quick shower and left. Athena was waiting for him at the gate and greeted her. She waived at him though there was something off about her before walking beside him towards their neighborhood. Harry looked at Athena curiously since she has yet to speak.
"So, what are your plans for summer?" Harry asked casually
"..." Athena stared at her slightly blushing before looking away muttering "Baka"
"Eh? What the heck did I do this time?" Harry asked
"It's my birthday moron" She glared at him while Harry chuckled.
"Oh I knew that." Harry smirked
"Hmmp. Boys. Just admit you forgot that's why you haven't greeted me the entire day and why I have no present." Athena glared at him further making him laugh more.
"What's funny?!" Athena yelled at him angrily while Harry just opened his bag and pulled out a small black stuffed bear with a small chain that even she could see was for clipping it on her bag. Upon seeing it she squealed and hugged the life out of him. "KAWAII!" she yelled while he himself just replied "Happy Birthday."
"You baka! you could've given me this earlier and I wouldn't have to be so mad at you" she glared at him but there was a smile on face that made Harry sure that it was the right present.
"Just wanted to surprise you that all" Harry did not expect Athena to suddenly kiss his cheek when he replied as she just said "Forgiven." Walking along side the river bank, there were nearing their district in relative peace when suddenly something was infront of them.
The creature in question look like a giant hamster with bird-like hands and feet and a tentacle-like limb that hangs from his forehead, similar to the lure of an anglerfish. The lure is vaguely Human-sized and infront of said creatue was woman who strongly resemble Athena but much older (and sadly in his semi corrupted mind due to a certain godfather aka Sirius Black,woman is drop dead gorgeous.)
Look at Athena though, it seems that she herself can't see the creature and was staring at the woman. There was also a slight glazed look she had and Harry was worried about her. Before anything else happened though she snapped out of it while muttering softly but enough for him to hear "How is kaa-san here when she's dead?". Her eyes were starting to tear since the woman that looked like Athena's mom was smiling at them and gesturing them to come over.
"I think we should back away slowly" whispered Harry back to her while Athena nodded though hesitantly. The creature though sensed their intentions as the woman in question disappeared and it opened it's mouth and suddenly it's tongue was headed towards them. Harry reacted quick enough though to pull Athena out of the way before dragging her as fast as he could away from the weird creature.
Lily Potter was having a normal day. She spent a few hours with her daughters,Sakura and Rosa just cleaning the house. Played a few games with them, had tea with her best friend Mika who happened to marry her husband's best friend.
After that, she and Mika would discuss what their respective husbands would like for dinner while heading towards the grocery.
Now on a normal day, she would be in front of her house by now unlocking the front door and start fixing up dinner. What was different is that in front of said door was a woman with long platinum blonde hair, hazel brown eyes with a purple diamond mark on her forehead. Defining features of said woman would be her bust as it would almost be double of hers (not that she was jealous since she was pretty confident with their sizes to please her man) wearing what looks like a school nurse uniform. Behind her was her son sitting down on the front porch as if waiting for her. When he looked up, he tackled her and hugged her while crying on her shirt. He looked like he was beaten up since his shirt and pants was almost in shreads though Harry himself looked fine. The woman in front of her smiled while she herself was confused.
The woman in question only gestured "My name is Senju Tsunade and we have a lots to discuss,shall we do this inside."
- 1 hour Ago -
"What the heck was that?" Harry asked to Athena while Athena shook her head
"I don't really know. At first, it felt like I was dreaming. Then suddenly my mom appeared and LOOK OUT!" Athena pulled him back as the frog like thing suddenly appeared in front if him.
Stumbling backwards, he looked around and saw another corner. Pulling Athena again, he dashed as fast as he could towards it but before he could even make the decision the creature howled (Think of the sound hollows make from Bleach). Harry froze at the sound and wanted to just leave Athena behind. Looking back at same corner he planned to dash through, Athena's mom came around the corner taunting them. He could even see the weird appendage attached to the woman's back.
Looking back at her stopped his fears though, her eyes in shock, her form shivering and completely pale, he didn't know why but suddenly he was making sure Athena was behind him as he prepared to defend her not knowing how long he'll last. He may never understand the situation but he felt he inherited a lot of what his dad called Gryffindor Spirit.
The creature opened it's mouth and before he could even blink he felt like he got punched all over as a tongue(or at least he hoped it was) smashed through his side and landed near the trash heap while said tongue grabbed Athena. Harry wanted to just faint dead since eveything hurt but hearing Athena cry out as well snapped him out of it. Seeing a broken fluorescent bulb,he grabbed the end of it and ignoring the pain,dashed towards the creature (which on his perspective looked as if it was intending to eat Athena). Stabbing the broken glass through it's tongue forced it to let go of Athena. The creature grabbed the bulb and removed it and was planning to smash Harry again.
Not sure why but everything around Harry slowed down, he could see the creature open it's mouth and feel something forcing him to duck. His body already on autopilot from the times he had played soccer followed this instinct and felt something pass above him. Not caring how he managed to avoid the tongue, he rushed towards Athena who was shaking uncontrollably on the ground and pulled her out of the way as the tongue headed towards them again. That one split second, his instincts told him to get out of the way
"CMON! MOVE!" he yelled at her while she was grounded on the spot out of either shock,fear or both
"Ah hell, this will hurt" he wondered but stood his ground and ignoring his instinct, even though he was prepared to get smashed again by the tongue he can't help but think "If this thing doesn't kill me mom will" he closed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of Athena while Athena herself waiting for the incoming pain that surprisingly never came.
After waiting for pain that never came, he opened his eyes to see a woman with platinum blonde hair, an impressive bust (Blame Sirius for that one) wearing white long coat and a skirt barely above her knees. Using her arm, she was holding back the tongue while looking back at them.
"Tsch, no wonder your late. Remind me next time to just fetch you ok?" she asked them while both of them nodded.
"I'll clean this up then." She looked back at the creature struggling to pull back his tongue when the woman pulled him towards her using both arms. Once the creature was airborne,she immediately let go of the tongue and cocked her fist. Harry could see her fist wrapped around shimmering light as she punched it cracking it's face. Not letting go, the woman grabbed the creature's appendage and swung it like a rag doll towards the ground. With great flexibility, she raised her leg above her head and smashed her heel further causing the ground to shake as the cracks on the creatures spread all over its body before it dispersed.
"Wwwwwwho are you?" Harry stuttered completely impressed and mostly afraid of being on the receiving end. Before he heard a reply though, his vision started to fade. The last thing he saw was a large group around said woman before he fainted
-Potter Living Room-
Lily was stunned what her son just went through this afternoon sprouting multiple questions on top of her head. Look at his sleeping form on her lap,she can't help but scold him for being so reckless and be proud of him for immediately noticing something wrong. As if reading her mind the woman said "I'm sure there are a lot of things you'd like to discuss and I will answer them however I am waiting for someone as well."
"Who are..." before she could finish her doorbell rang. She wasn't sure if she was to answer it but the woman in front of her gestured her to answer it. Glancing worriedly towards her son, she decided to answer the door for now then get all her answers. Upon opening the door, a man with bright blue eyes and sunkissed blonde hair met her. She could honestly say he was drop dead gorgeous (Not that she would ever admit this in front of present company or her husband). He wore a black overcoat with a purple silk vest, khaki pants and steel tipped leather shoes. He bowed at her and asked permission to enter her household. He had a deep commanding voice and didn't understand why but was ushering him towards the living room where he greeted Tsunade cheerfully enough before he looked at Harry seriously. After a few seconds he introduced himself.
"My name is Minato Namikaze, I am one of Tsunade's colleague and from my understanding you are a magical family new to Japan yes?" the man called Minato asked her while she nodded. After brief introductions were made Minato started explaining why he was here.
"To explain the situation briefly, your son was attacked by a demon or more precisely a lesser demon" Lily gasped as she had heard of demons before. "To describe on what demons are here in Japan, we have a category of demons ranging from rank E to rank SS. Demons in general are just wills of souls that stayed due to some reason fusing with ambient magic. While demons in general can absorb magic, their speed and capacity to do so places them in appropriate ranks." Minato looked at the woman before sighing "I really was hoping Tsunade has explained the situation but since were on the topic I'll give you a minor breakdown of the rankings and give the ranking of the demon your son fought off from the residue we gathered."
"Rank E demons. Simple animalistic urges and craving for any energy source nearby. Rank D. Remembers basic speech, still acts on instincts. Rank C. May act more like a predator and plans its attacks, this is also the same class that attacked you son." He held up his hand hoping that the woman would allow him to finish before she starts again. Seeing her permission to continue "Rank B is where they lose the animalistic figure and is more of a humanoid-animal Hybrid. They also can use magic similar to UMF. Rank A to SS is where the they start recovering reason and are not so bad. They consider it as a form of second life they get to live and mostly learned to absorb ambient magic through the earth. Abilities are similar to wizards when using wandless magic and some are even elementals. The dangerous ones are also in that class since if they do not lose the lust of magic when they evolve,they tends to hunt humans down regardless whether magical or not." He finished first his explanation before going back to his main reason why he was even here.
"Now don't worry. Tsunade contacted me explaining the gist of the situation and I have already warded your house. Believe me, no demon will get through. However, the reason why that demon even attack your son in particular is of two reasons." He paused before his finger glowed drawing symbols in the air that even Lily couldn't help but be curious about but before she knew it a chalkboard appear beside the man.
Going into lecture mode Minato continued to explain "Your son even now is emitting what we call UMF or unrestrained magical force. This UMF is varying on wizards and depending on the level attracts different levels of demons as well. However, UMF acts in the same manner as the person weilding it." He paused to make sure the woman understood before continuing "Now, most people cannot sense UMF however demons can and would love to feast on high volumes."
Tsunade interrupted Minato from seeing Lily's face and decided to explain it further "Your son right now from what I can sense has a high volume of magic. To put a basis of it lets say the average adult wizard has a UMF of 2500 units. Harry's right now would be more or less 2000 and that's amazing on its own" Tsunade paused making sure that Lily now understood as well the implications.
"Bubububut how?" Lily was flabbergastered on how her 10 year old son had a bigger magical core than her at his age.
"Ahem. Going back. Magic is divided into three sets of energies,these are physical,natural and spiritual. Harry's development could be attibuted to his physical magicks such as genetics,physical exercise and a good diet. Natural magicks would include the level of natural energy flowing from the earth and from his immediate environment like home or school. Spiritual magicks involve the amount of love, emotional stress and character developments. Following these rules the growth of the magic of a person can range between non-existent as in squibs due to inbreeding,lack of love and contrasting magics to exponential. I'm guessing Harry here has the luck of the draw. You should be proud as parents." Minato paused for a while making sure he was still on topic before sheepishly grinning.
"My apologies. I went too far with the discussion a bit but moving forward, Harry grew up in an environment that was healthy for his magic so to speak. That's one reason. The other is because of Athena herself. While Athena is no witch, Athena is one of the few muggles with high levels of spiritual energy and life energy and demons love that more." Lily was confused since none of the terms was even discussed during her time and grew worried when Minato and Tsunade shared a glance.
Minato sighed before continuing "Wait a bit" waiving his hand downward a talisman appeared on his fingertips and he threw it in the air. Amazingly enough, he disappeared in a yellow flash before reappearing then catching said talisman. Minato was now carry a large amount of books in which Lily's eyes flashed with excitement.
"These are some basic theories about magical development along with factors that we ourselves have researched and the fundamentals behind them. They will cover the basic gist of what makes magic well magic." He said sheepishly before Lily asked "That wasn't apparition was it?"
"No. Just a complex pile of blood magic,seals and runes." replied Minato as if talking about the weather while Lily gasped. "But blood magic is said to be dark"
"Pfft. Whoever told you that is an idiot. There is no dark or light spell to begin with. That book about the laws of Magic will explain that. Anyways. Demons will also attack any muggle with high spiritual energy as well since demons just need any form of energy and life energy does regenerate. Since Harry and Athena was both in the same location you can guess its like advertising an all-you-can-eat buffet in front of a starving man." finished Minato.
"Uhm. Not to be rude but most of what your discussing with me is somewhat new and during my time at Britain we barely discussed what we call wandless magic and we are mostly under the belief that it takes too much hassle to control so how is it possible that you have such good control and also,is there any way to surpress UMF since I don't want to be attacked suddently? Oh and if ever I do get attack is there a way for me to defend against demons" Lily asked. "Also, not to be rude but the way you explain demons as a whole, it seems that regardless of the rune scheme I come up with, if they themselves absorb magic shouldn't they be capable of breaking any ward?"
"Before you go on with you lecture Professor Namikaze" Tsunade interrupt while Minato scowled, he really hated being addressed like that. He sounded like an old man. "I understand you may question his abilities but to us at Japan, this sissy boy" Minato sighed, he knew his wife should've never hold drinking sessions "is actually one of the best runes and seals master we have. To give you a brief history, this man slaughtered a collection of a thousand demons regardless of rank under the span of 10 seconds using nothing but seals,blood magic and only the simplest of UMF." Tsunade smirked at Lily's astonished gaze while Minato looked sheepish.
"Ignoring that info thank you very much." Minato coughed before answering Lily "To answer your first question, We are raised with less knowledge of wandlore and more magic commanding our surroundings. Westerners have mostly kept the knowledge of wandlore to themselves so in turn we have done as well with wandless. You can say it's similar to your goblin and wizard relation. Since you don't want to share wandlore, goblins wont share their enchanting magic" Shrugging at that info, Lily gestured for him to go on.
"Following that, yes you can surpress it. One way to supress it though you may not like that method as we require to put seals on either the head or the stomach of the person during either infancy or childhood. Downsides include erratic behavior growing up and abnormal results of magical output. Two is covenhood though I also don't think you want to see your son develop a sexual harem at age 10." He joked though he could see the look of horror,rage and astonishment on Lily's face before quickly adding "He can learn to surpress it himself if he gets trained in the art."
"For your third question, fighting demons means you are limited to either physical offense, elemental manipulation unless said demon is of Rank A above since some of them can also command a specific element and over discharging a demon though this method is only recommended for people who have tons of magic at their disposal to begin with as you can imagine how hard it is to overload something meant to absorb magic in the first place."
"Lastly, the rune scheme I used is a standard demon repelling array governed using a master codex of all languages." Minato waved his hand and illustrations appeared on the blackboard "Wards are keyed to register life energy and if a demon comes near the array will sever the connection between ambient and soul magic which will then trigger the secondary effect of absorbing the ambient magic to power the wards. Also, on the rare event that should a SS rank demon try to pry the wards apart, I will be notified." Minato finished his explanation while Lily looked in awe at the scheme on the blackbord.
"This scheme is amazing and whats more is that from the time I've been speak to Tsunade to a point she may have contacted you which by the way when did she since I didn't see her make any effort to contact you when I saw her, you more or less had 20 mins to set this up!" Lily felt like a schoolgirl all over again considering runes has one of her best subjects but after meeting the man, she felt like an utter novice.
Minato shrugged "Give or take 8 mins total to set it all up, if you have further doubts feel free to cast the strongest, most damaging spell towards me and I will redirect it using nothing but runic arts" Minato said confidently. Lily did still have some doubts but if the man was offering, she can also take off some frustration feeling so useless.
"Lets do it at the yard then" Lily shook her son awake, explained briefly what they were going to do and Harry looked at the blonde man like he was crazy. Minato only smile and said "I can handle her don't worry. My wife's a redhead too and she's got a scarier temper"
-Yard-
"I have a spell I've developed but I haven't tested this on anything yet since I was just playing around with the Arithmacy. I hope it isn't too much" Lily asked.
"So long as a proper warning is made, I can handle anything." Minato replied while Lily scowled. Tsunade sensing what's wrong decided to explain while guarding Harry. "He's not being arrogant. He really can handle anything projectile thrown at him. He's that much of a monster on his own."
"I'm not that scary! Evangeline, Tao Ren and Shigure-san are much more scarier than I am. Anyways, I apologize if I myself sound a bit rude and I mean no disrespect but I also want to ensure you that the skills I have are legitimate" when Lily heard this, her expression soften before her face shifted to one of pure concentration.
"Get ready! Sortum Expida Ignis Bombarda Maxima!" she yelled. Slashing her ward arm down, the tip of her wand glowed red and from there fired a volley of red spells headed towards Minato. Minato looked at the spells with some interest before he himself raised his hand and in a blur of motion as if he were writing in air, he thrusted his palm out and a array of seals appeared in front of him. When the spell hit the array the spells seemed to disappear before Minato raised his arm and from there the same spells that was absorb were fired upward into the sky. Suddenly the sky was lit with explosions that even amazed Tsunade.
"Well, that's a very nice spell on your arsenal. I thought the bombarda spell is just an explosion cast on a specified area but I can see you'd made it into a delayed projectile instead with fire as part of it explosion." Tsunade observed while Harry was awed at his mom.
While they were watching Tsunaded decided to inform Harry what was discussed. "Harry, I will ask you as a favor for keeping my goddaughter alive. Do you want to be stronger or at least be capable enough so demons don't attack you again?" Tsunade asked while Harry stared at her.
"I really don't know. I mean your pretty strong and I couldn't even do anything to that monster." replied Harry politely
"Don't sell yourself short, you risked your life when nobody would've blame you for running. I heard while I took Athena home that you got hit by that thing and yet you still stood up and forced it to let go of her. That takes real dedication and impresses me enough for me to offer it though I also owe it to my cute litle goddaughter to make sure the guy she likes stays alive." Tsunade teased while Harry blushed
"I... we... we're just friends!" he yelled at her while Minato and Lily came back to them however they were interrupted by Floo going off,a woman with hime cut brunette hair, wearing a black kimono patterned with sakura petals appeared in the living room.
"Lily!? Are you there?" the woman who Harry recognized as Mika Black.
"Here Mika!" Lily called out while Mika herself glared angrily.
"What the bloody hell was that?! Those explosions gave the babysitter a fright and right now the neighbors were about to call the police."
"Just trying out some spells. Sorry about that." she replied bashfully while Mika stared at her sternfully
"Just be glad I called the neighbors off stating that you are a part time researcher for a chemist and that one of your research involves fireworks. Hopefully, the would just think it was just a failed experiment and... oh my... who is this handsome young man?" Mika asked staring at Minato while Lily made quick introductions.
After everything else has settled down and giving a brief explanation to Mika, Minato decided it was time to head off.
"Well ladies, as much as it has been a pleasure meeting you, I have to go pick up my kids and get back home. I kind of promised my wife I'd be home on time. Ja ne" Minato flicked his wrist and he was gone in a flash.
"Well, I'll be off as well. I have to get back to Athena." Tsunade stood up and look at Harry while Harry himself looked unsure what to do. "My offer stands young man but once your start this training, there will be no going back. It'll be hell for you but the benefits outweight them. I... also see a high potential in you and I personally believe that you will do great things." Tsunade was about to walk out the door when the door opened itself and there stood a man who greatly resembled Harry and well as a man with shaggy long hair both of them stared at each other for a good long second before Tsunade left.
Looking at the living room, James Potter looked at his son and the worried expression on his wife and wondered what exactly happened. In that moment of thought, a bright flash appeared in the middle of the room where a blonde man stood and sheepishly grinned saying "Oops, left the blackboard. Pls excuse me." before said blackboad disappeared along with the man again in the same flash. Even more confused than ever, he looked to his best friend only for him to shrug in confusion.
