Preparations
Harry had been in Japan with Lady Mana for a week, a boring week preparing a potion to be placed on a special parchment that needed to be filled out. It was basically a survey that needed to be completed and, thankfully, Harry was now ready for the final stage to find a tutor, "Harry, place between five and ten drops of your blood into the potion and let simmer for half a minute before pouring it onto the parchment to find your tutor, their address, and what you should pay him at the least."
He nodded to do as Jack told and carefully cut his palm with a special athame that was spelled to heal his cut after his blood was given. Harry dripped seven drops of his blood into the potion And looked at his watch... 'Now!' Thought Harry as he took the potion off of the flame and poured it onto two papers. One was for his muggle schooling and the other was for his magical schooling. He watched as the information appeared on both papers. He decided to look at his muggle school tutor first.

Harry nodded knowing it seemed good so far and decided to visit him today since it was Saturday. "Dobby," his friend appeared by his side with a smile. "I need my formal clothes prepared so I can go meet my potential tutor, can you have them ready after lunch?"
Dobby nodded, "Yes, Lord Potter. Dobby can have formal wear ready and Dobby can also shine Harry Sir's business shoes! Dobby will get started right away, Sir! Dobby must thanks Lord Potter for the uniform first though, Dobby likes the uniform and was happy to choose clothes for Dobby and the house elves! Bye now." The short house elf disappeared with an infectious, happy attitude that caused Harry to smile.
Harry looked around and decided to call Flippy, "Flippy, will you please tell Lady Mana that I will be leaving after lunch while I escort Jack to the door. Sorry for ignoring you, Jack. I was just interested in the kid who is going to be my age. Oh, the Magic Tutor! Who does it list?"Flippy disappeared with her message while Harry noticed a look of mild shock on Jack's face.
"It says my real name... I guess that I am going to be your magic tutor, Harry. You are very lucky. I haven't taught anyone in nearly seven hundred years and the last time I did the student used his skill for his own gain. Took credit for my Sorcerer's Stone too, but since it says that I am the one to teach you than I am willing to do so. My real name is Merlin Emry, friend of the Knights belonging to the round table. I have not taught since Nickolas seeing as he stole my work and claimed it as his own. I know you will not do the same but I will only teach you the basics seeing as you do not have as much time as I do in this world." Harry was surprised that his Magical teacher was Merlin's spirit, mind, soul, and magic sealed in the puppet but he knew that the technique wasn't wrong.
"I'll try to make you proud. Do you want me to get a room set aside here for you to teach me? I'll be happy to do so after I come back from visiting Ichigo Kurosaki today. It will not be a problem and I don't think I'll need the help of the house elves." Merlin waved his hand in refusal.
"Harry, just tell me the room and I'll prepare it myself. I'm not out of shape yet and you need to focus on being able to get your tutor to help you. We will give you the middle school's ACT test, or city-wide Grade-Average test to determine what grade you need tutoring from. If He asks about why you don't know the basics just tell him the truth of your muggle family forcefully lowering your grades. Tell him the abuse that you suffer at home and he will leave it alone while helping you as needed and more. Trust me on this, Harry." Harry nodded at his words knowing that he may be right.
"You may pick any remotely empty or empty room you deem fit. But if Ichigo becomes my friend are you willing to teach him the basics too? He does fit the best with me after all." Harry was hopeful since he knew that all of his friends would be in danger because of him. His attitude lightened when Merlin nodded. "I'll go get a shower and everything for the meeting with Ichigo. I'll write him a note explaining that I need a tutor first, that way he won't be surprised when I show up. Hedwig! Just in time, I'm writing a letter to someone who will be very important to me and I want you to get my note to him as soon as possible. Lets go to my office." Harry let Hedwig perch on his shoulder as he walked to his office with an idea of what to write. He was surprised when he arrived sooner than he thought he would.
"Hedwig, should I just mention that I need a tutor or should I include my hidden inheritance and abuse? One hoot for need a tutor, two hoot for inheritance and abuse as a child." Hedwig looked at him before hooting three times. "Well according to the test that Jack let me write he tends to be a good person and he defends himself only while he has a nice disposition. So I would trust him, yeah I will be able to trust him." Hedwig hooted twice. "Alright Hedwig, please give me a few minutes to write a rough draft and read it to hear what you think."
"Dear Ichigo Kurosaki,
My name is Harry Potter and I was told that you would be a good tutor. I know that you are going to ask why I need a tutor and I feel that I can trust you with my childhood since I have goo reports about you.
In my childhood I was raised by my Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. They have a son my age that they raised along side of me, but he often got what he wanted while I was punished for my parents. My Aunt Petunia has always hated my mom and since that hate was also for my rich father they hate me too. When you see me I know you will think I am eleven, but I am fifteen years old. I have suffered form malnutrition, starvation and abuse.
Now you may have noticed that I said my father was rich. This information and my heritage was scorned and hidden from me by my Aunt and Uncle for my entire stay with them. It would still be hidden from me if a family friend hadn't shown up and told me the truth. If you don't believe me I am willing to pay your dad, Doctor Kurosaki, to give me a check up.
I wrote this letter to tell you that I plan on visiting you after lunch at your address that I have on file. If the information that I have from my source offends you I am willing to keep it in a safe. Please consider replying a refusal through Hedwig, my best friend and owl, or waiting to hear me out. If you have something else to do today write a reply and send it back to me by Hedwig. If you are going to be late feel free to let me know as well. I remind you that I will be at your house after lunch.
Sincerely,
Harry James Potter.
What do you think, One hoot is keep and two is not good." Hedwig seemed to think before hooting once. "Thanks for your approval, Hedwig. At least the rough draft is good enough. Let me dry it and place it in an envelope, please." Hedwig hooted to say she would wait.
"There! Can you deliver this to Ichigo Kurosaki, please?" Harry tied the letter to her leg as she preened herself for flight. After the letter was tied well she nipped his ear affectionately and flew off.
Harry turned around and noticed that Flippy was back, "Flippy has prepared Lord Potter a bath to help befriend Sir Ichigo. Flippy wishes to take Harry to the 'fancy bath tub' to make sure he smells good. Sir Harry will wear a bath robe to the lunch table to keep his nice clothes clean and he will let Flippy help him dress properly or Flippy will cry." Flippy gave him her determined look and Harry nodded. "Flippy will take Lord Potter to his bath now."
Harry gave her his hand and aparated them to his bathroom. "Thank you, Flippy, for taking good care of me." Flippy nodded before stopping the water and bubbles from overflowing the tub and left through the door. Harry sighed and started on his bath.
Twenty minutes later...
"Flippy, where is the bath robe?" Harry called through the crack of the opened door. He blanched at her answer as he heard her speak.
"Flippy has them right here, Lord Potter. Harry Sir said that Flippy could help him and Flippy will help him even if Harry Sir doesn't like it." Harry blushed since she was a girl and began thinking of excuses to get out of the mess he had gotten himself into. Flippy must have sensed what he was thinking since she used magic to force his door open and used magic to get him into his robe.
"Flippy thinks that wasn't so bad, Flippy thought that Harry Sir was going to scream and scare the neighbors. Flippy will now take Harry Sir to the dinning room to eat before taking him to get dressed." Flippy grabbed Harry's hand and aparated again, this time Harry landed sitting down with food in front of him. He shot Flippy a look of embarrassment before noticing the sushi in front of him.
He looked down the table crowded with house elves and goblins. "Everyone, I want you to know that I will be going to meet someone latter today if plans go well. I ask that you all try to relax today or do something you enjoy if possible. Since I am going out I don't want anyone to overwork themselves without me knowing so I can treat you. Dobby is in charge but Jack might be here. Please try to help him if he seems lost or if he asks for help. Thank you for your attention, please continue as you wish." Harry looked back down and started eating the nutrient packed food and found that he liked the sushi.
He quickly ate everything on his plate and when he stood Flippy was already beside him. She grabbed his hand and aparated them to a dressing room that Dobby and two others was in. "Dobby thought that you would prefer your muggle suit to visit Sir Ichigo in and has gotten it ready. Since Dobby doesn't know how to tie a bow Dobby has asked Flippy to help Sir Harry with that. Dobby, Flippy, Doug, and Bart are going to help Sir Harry look nice. Flippy has even bought Sir Harry some hair potions to tame his unruly hair! Yes Flippy has! Now hold still for Dobby and the house elves."
Harry waited as they dressed him as if he was a baby knowing that they just wanted to care for him and that is how they show their love. "Thanks, everyone. I'm sure I look very nice now but I have to leave now. I'm going to arrive by taxi so I won't be back for a while. Understand? Dobby, you are in charge while I am gone, okay?'
Dobby looked at him as he puffed hid chest out, "Dobby will make sure nothing bad happens while Harry Sir is gone. Harry can count on Dobby." Dobby went into a good guy pose with two thumbs up making Harry smile.
"Alright, Flippy, will you please aparate me to the foyer so I can leave?" Flippy reached out and grabbed his hand and they aparated into the foyer and beside the door. "Thank you, Flippy. See you later." Harry walked out the door and hailed a taxi. "1227 Seventeenth Avenue, Karakura Town please."
Stepping into the car he had the paper describing Ichigo in hand as they started down the busy street. Harry went over different scenarios in his head ten times before the driver told him, "Your stop, fella. That will be a hundred and twenty nine yen." Harry quickly placed two hundred yen into his hand and left the car. The driver speed off after realizing he was over paid.
Harry walked toward the door and started to knock only for a younger girl to open the door. "Yes? Are you Harry Potter?" Harry nervously nodded and she hollered into the house, "Dad! The guy asking for a tutor is here!"
Harry was about to ask her a question when a very notably eccentric man rushed down the hall in a doctor's coat and grabbed his arm. "Hello, I'm Doctor Kurosaki and you will be seen by me before you meet with my son! This way!" Isshin dragged him down several halls until he was in a hospital like room, "Take off your shirt and pants so I can check you over!"
At that moment a teenage boy wearing a blue polo shirt and blue jeans walked in and sighed, "Dad, I though we agreed that I would meet with him first. Sorry about my dad. I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, the person you mailed by owl. She seems really smart since she followed me home even though I didn't ask her to. Once dad spotted her trying to give me the letter he demanded that I read it. I read it and asked her if I was supposed to watch her... she shook her head and started napping." Harry laughed as he started doing as the doctor told him to until he was only in his boxers.
Isshin whistled sharply as Ichigo gain a frown. Harry knew that they were staring at all the different scars that riddled his back, chest, legs and arms. "Harry... your aunt and uncle live in Britain, right? I want you to promise us that you won't go back no matter what, do you understand me?"
Harry nodded as he tried to hide his face in shame before Ichigo hugged him gently. "Oh.. my... gosh... what happened to you?"Hey turned toward the door and seen two girls staring at him in horror.
"I was forced to live with abusive relatives for almost fifteen years. Its nothing-" He heard some kind of metal bend as Isshin huffed in annoyance.
"THAT IS NOT NOTHING! I want you to promise me that you will visit us for a check up once every week until you are better or I will find your house and knock the door down and drag you back here. Understood?" Harry nodded nervously before Isshin helped him get properly dressed again.
"Now we can talk about tutoring you. First, we will need to know what grade level you score near. Then we should buy some work books from teaching stores and start teaching you. After a while we should test you again to see the new level that you are at and how much you have improved. If we can figure out how fast you learn we can measure the predicted time of being up to the correct grade level and when you will be caught up to me since we are the same age. Does that sound good?" Ichigo had been writing the to do list while Harry followed him into the living area of the house. "We just need to find out the times we can meet so we can help you study. I plan on going to your house when possible, aright?" Harry nodded knowing that those plans were good and that it would allow him to introduce him to magic sooner.
"My assistant, Mana, is planning on me taking something called the ACT for middle school kids. I think she plans on letting you have the results so we don't have to worry about testing me yet. I'll tell her to set a day this week for me to test so I can get back to you sooner. You might also consider meeting me at the Sanctuary of Learning since I will be hanging out there a lot in the near future. I'll get back with you as soon as I can on the testing but you might want to know that the house keepers living with me are a little strange once a person thinks about them." Harry watched as Ichigo gave him a sharp look before grunting.
"I'll bet you that they aren't as strange as my dad. But I want to know how you learned about me, who told you about me?" Ichigo seemed curious about how he was picked. "I just think that most teachers wouldn't suggest me since I am in fights often, sure I don't start most of them but I only fight in defense of myself and others." Ichigo was giving him a stern look as he waited for an answer.
"I listed some requirements for having a tutor and the information I needed and my friend from Britain, Jack Emry, filled out the form. Here this is it, take a look if you want to." Ichigo looked at the requirements and sighed before handing it back. He grinned with amusement towards Harry.
Ichigo blurted, "Do you always ask these questions or did an elf tell you that these questions are suited?" Harry nearly choked at the mention of elves before he was able to refrain from doing such. He looked around nervously before realizing that he was kidding. "You are superstitious, aren't you?"
Harry snorted, "My life is a fairy tale from the book of grim. Plus whose to say that elves aren't real and in hiding? Maybe they are three foot tall with long floppy ears and a strange skin pigment. Maybe they are more like the mythical brownie of Britain and like to clean houses from top to bottom, you never do know til you meet one." Ichigo was staring at Harry as if thinking, What?"
Ichigo looked him in the eye, "You seem to know about the elves a lot... from the way you describe them you must know one, I think it would be awesome to meet one if they are real." Harry sat there shocked before deciding.
"I do know a lot about house elves, my friend named Dobby wanted to-" a loud pop occurred and the little house elf was standing between them and Harry realized his mistake.
"Dobby is here, Harry Sir. Is there anything Dobby can do for Harry Sir and- Oh! Is sir the Ichigo Sir? Dobby's name is Dobby, Dobby is a house elf and at your service. Did Ichigo Sir decide if he was going to learn magic with Lord Potter? Dobby hopes so! Jack, the puppet holding Merlin's soul has agreed to teach both Ichigo Sir and Harry Sir. Dobby is excited! Dobby was allowed to meet the great Ichigo Sir first!" Ichigo was taking it all in stride causing Harry to relax despite his mistake.
Ichigo knelt next to Dobby and shook his hand, "Its nice to meet you Dobby. I heard that you clean houses often, do you enjoy cleaning?" Dobby nodded with enthusiasm making both boys laugh dryly. "My dad's room needs cleaning since he hordes junk and I am wondering if you are willing to try to clean it for me?"
Dobby quickly nodded and popped away to get started. Harry wondered if he had been watching Ichigo since he found out about him being the tutor that the potion requested. "I wonder if Dobby has been spying on you since he found out about you...? I hope you don't mind, but sometimes he is curious about certain things. Sorry in advance if he pops over and starts asking questions or starts cleaning your house. I have a question though, what do you think that we can do about Dobby and house elves in general hating themselves?" Ichigo seemed surprised that Dobby would hate himself. He quietly thought about it and paused for a second
Sighing he muttered to himself and then asked, "Is there any books about their behavior describing such? If there is I would take that book and a few others that are geared toward learning and place them in the oratory of the Sanctuary of Learning since you will be going there often. After you place the books in there tell Asyn your dilemma and why it is your dilemma and what you want to do about it. I would then ask her to guide you in observation of the house elves here in Japan and start observing them once you have asked her such. That is all I can think of, sorry if it doesn't help you any." He shifted in his seat with unease at the thought of Dobby hating himself.
"Actually, that is a good idea since she has actually written me a letter herself. I didn't know it was from her at the time but after I read the letter I was surprised that gods are real. Thanks for the brilliant idea!" Ichigo stared at him for a few seconds before nodding since Harry was being serious and Harry stood up and offered his hand to Ichigo, "I need to go home now, it was nice meeting you, Ichigo. I'll see you later, Flippy, please aparate us home." They shook hands before Harry backed up with a house elf appearing beside him.
Harry seen Ichigo's questioning look before he disappeared and was back at his house. "Flippy, I need you to go to my storage area, where my books are, and grab a book called House-Elves and Self-Hatred, Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against the Dark Arts, Extreme Incantations, Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean, and A Guide to Advanced Transfiguration. I'll also need money for another taxi to get to the Sanctuary of Learning and some simple yet elegant outfit to visit and pray in."
Flippy disappeared with a soft pop while Harry headed towards his room to change into something appropriate to pray in. He decided to go with Ichigo's style that he seen earlier and quickly Transfigured his clothes into black bluejeans and a white Polo shirt. Nodding at the job well done he decided to go fix a snack for him and the goddess in case she wanted to meet him. He decided to get something sweet but healthy, when he arrived in the kitchen he nodded to the house elves within the room. He walked up to the place holding the recipes and looked through it until he found Chicken Salad and three different types of Sushi.
"Doug wants to know if Master Potter wants Doug to make all four of those foods and grab a box of Drinks. Doug would be more than happy to help Harry Sir." Harry smiled as he handed him the four recipes, "Doug will also make some pineapple upside-down cake. Is there anything else Harry Sir needs?" Harry shook his head before patting his back.
"Please let me know when the food is ready. You will be able to find me in my dressing room when you are done. Alright?" Doug nodded as he glanced at each recipe and began to gather ingredients. Harry turned around to go to his room when the door bell rang. "Dinky, please get the door. I'll be there in a minute to greet them."
Harry started toward the front door as Dinky popped away. Wondering who would visit him he quickened his pace. Upon arriving at the front door Harry was greeted by the sight of Neville and Augusta Longbottom. Harry smiled at Neville letting him know that he was happy that they were here.
Harry shook hands with Lady Longbottom, "Good evening, Lady Longbottom, Neville. I hope that there was no trouble getting here?" Harry tried to hide the worry in his voice and failed to do so.
"Lord Potter, there was no trouble other than the muggle plane, they seemed to wonder why we were carrying twelve suitcases each. Now for the reason I have come, I was convinced by King Odin to come here with Neville. Odin told us by his ravens that it would be safer going to Japan since you had a friend who is a child of the founders. I thought that he was a little off until he explained the details of how she was born. Is she available to meet?" Harry nodded politely and motioned for them to follow him.
He lead them into his office where Lady Mana was sitting going through papers to decide what needed immediate attention. She turned around and smiled before standing and hugging them both. "I was worried about the two of you. I was just about to write you both a letter and offer you the school as a year around residence. My name was once Lady Hogwarts but now you may call me Lady Mana which is short for Lady Mana Institute of Magics and the Arcane. Just to let you both know, I find the two of you are like my children, and I have missed you both. I am sure that Harry is more than willing to help you find a new home and offer the mansion as a refuge until you find one, right Harry?"
Harry nodded and explained, "Yes, I would love to share my home indefinitely if you were willing to stay for a while. I don't mind guest since I missed Neville, Lady Mana doesn't seem to mind and I know that the house elves will be happy to have more people to tend to. As such I must offer free room and board for the two of you on one condition. I want Neville to continue his education as soon as possible whether it be by tutors or by the school I will start. However, I feel that I must request for you, Lady Longbottom, to help run a few clubs that will be at the school." Harry thought that it would be good to have some older help from Lady Longbottom with the animal rescue and childrens help place.
Lady Longbottom knew that he was trying to get her a job as a head of some sort and seemed surprised that he even asked her. "I must admit that I never thought that you would start clubs like those. What made you pick them?" Harry shifted in his posture before realizing that Lady Augusta could help him make sure he got all the right potions to heal his scars.
Looking Augusta in the eye Harry told the truth, "My muggle aunt and uncle often mistreated me. They starved me, hit me, my uncle almost raped me, and my cousin constantly started his 'Harry Hunting Game' when I was home." Lifting his shirt up he showed them the stark reality of what happened away from Hogwarts.
Augusta looked at him with pity before walking up to him and seeing if any were sore by prodding them. He hissed with pain when she touched the scar wrapping around his waist causing Augusta to call for Dinky, "Dinky! Will you please grab my potions bag from where you placed it. It seems that Harry is having pain from a few of his scars and I need to treat him."
Dinky bowed and disappeared in a hurry while Neville stared in shock at the obvious treatment that his friend was forced through. Harry himself seemed ashamed as Lady Mana hugged him firmly. Harry was suddenly hugged by Neville and gently reassured by Lady Longbottom as he felt tears start to pour from his eyes. He cried with the three of them even while he was treated by Lady Longbottom. He stopped crying soon after and hugged Neville before nodding to Lady Longbottom.
Standing up from the seat that they had placed him in he began to apologize, "I'm sorry for burdening you with my troubles. I shouldn't have told you that but I did... Thanks for letting me cry. I've got to go to the Sanctuary of Learning to give offerings to Asyn, who actually wrote me a letter saying that she was offering her temple basement for the school to be in. I am also hopping to ask her to help me discover the reason for the house elves self-hatred, I don't want them to hate themselves."
He nervously wiped his tears away with a handkerchief offered by Lady Longbottom, while Neville stood there nervous at seeing Harry cry for the first time. "It is alright, Potter. You don't have to apologize for crying. But I think it would be best if I came with you to this sanctuary that you speak of. And while it is good to be concerned for others I don't think that anyone with the same amount of heart as you would like the answer you found. I have studied house elves myself and found that their self-loathing comes from having to others who disrespect them as much as the purebloods do." Harry looked at Lady Longbottom with a look of complete attention.
"In fact, it seems that only House Elves in most European countries or similar places hate themselves. Everywhere else they seem fine, they just don't like the fact that they are forced to feed off of the magic of rude pompous wizards and witches. Your house elves seem to like living here and look healthier than those in Britain do. So I'd say that they won't hate themselves for long." Harry paused to think and realized that it made sense.
"Thanks for telling me, Lady Longbottom. I still think it would be good to go to the shrine and pray, I might still learn something and I have already gathered the books to send to her as an offering. Plus I've asked Doug to make a snack for us, he seemed happy to help." Lady Longbottom smiled gently as she nodded in favor of his idea.
"If you plan on seeing her we had better hurry, the sun looks like it is about to go down." Harry looked out his artificial window and quickly started to clean himself up. Lady Longbottom stopped him and used a cleaning charm and a cleansing charm to make him look like he did when she had arrived and to calm his emotions.
"Thank you, Lady Longbottom. I'll just go get my offerings and-" two loud pops occurred showing two house elves, one had a bag of books and the other had a picnic basket. "Thank you, Doug, Flippy, for doing as I asked. I'll be going now so I want Dobby to be in charge when he gets back from the Kurosaki residence. For now I'll need to know of a responsible house elf who is a good leader."
Flippy and Doug both spoke in unison, "If not all three of you is leaving then why is us house elves in charge?" Harry seemed to know what they were asking as the two Longbottoms puzzled over the question and any possible answer.
Harry laughed with amusement at the cute looks that his house elves were wearing before answering, "I am going to place a house elf in charge since they know how things are around here. Plus I'd rather know that you are happily doing chores than being forced to cater and wait on guests in case any are rude and mean to you. Do you understand?" They both nodded as their eyes filled with joyful tears. "Now I ask that the two of you spread the word to the other Potter loyal elves after you help me pick someone to be in charge when both Dobby and I are gone."
They seemed surprised when Neville pulled out a handkerchief for them both but they still took it and carefully wiped their eyes. "Flippy says thank you, Sir Neville, for the handkerchief. Flippy suggests Dinky as the next head house elf while Dobby is the current head house elf." Doug nodded rapidly in agreement to show his like of the idea.
"Alright, Dinky is the second in command when I am gone too then. He is first in command when both Dobby and I are gone and you don't have to serve guests unless you want to. Agreed?" the house elves cried out before hugging him and babbling about how great he was. Harry was used to his house elves strange ways so he gently patted their back knowing that they would cry more if he tried to calm them with words.
Neville watched with awe as Harry brought the house elves to tears with loving words and realized that Harry had a strong sense of love. Harry had cared for him, who is and will always be a nobody, and taught him what he could as well as what he knew. Neville felt something wet start to slide down his cheek and realize that Harry was an inspiring person. Harry is someone he could and would always trust. Walking up to Harry and the house elves he hugged all three of them causing the house elves to cry more. Neville knew that he wasn't very good with words and decided that hugging them was the most he could do for them.
Harry seemed to notice Neville's tears and decided to hug him too. Soon afterwards everyone was done crying and Harry felt the wet stains on his clothes and looked sheepishly embarrassed. "Lady Longbottom, will you please cast the cleaning charm on us. I don't like it and I'm sure that Neville feels the same as me when it comes to being wet. I am happy that my friends were able to release some tears though."
Lady Longbottom laughed lightly as she cast the cleaning charm on everyone's clothes and uniforms. "I hope that the four of you don't end up like this often, but even if you do I'll stay here for a while yet. I'm just happy that someone cares about house elves like you do." Harry lightly blushed before grabbing the offerings from Flippy and Doug.
He started towards the front parlor to grab a jacket and nodded to Lady Longbottom, who had followed him. He walked outside and hailed a taxi for the two of them. They rode to the Sanctuary of Learning in peaceful silence. Once they arrived a young Priest greeted them at the gate.
"Hello, my name is Eizan Mae and I have been sent to greet the two of you, Lord Potter, Lady Longbottom. I hope that the two of you had a safe trip from Britain." Harry nodded and looked at Lady Longbottom.
"The plane was the only disappointment. It was uncomfortable compared to aparation." Harry looked confused at her reasoning but decided that it was what it was. Turning back to Eizan he formally bowed to the priest who did the same in return to him and Lady Longbottom.
Eizan turned and pointed out the arch-like gates," You seen the simple gateway stands at the entrance of the grounds, after walking for a while you will come to the main building of the holy sanctuary. In the main building you will find an oratory to place offerings on and pray beside, often people place flowers, trinkets, and other things that they can part with on the oratory." He turned to the two of them as they started walking.
"However, there is another shrine building which hosts the most holy place on the grounds, the inner sanctum. The inner sanctum houses the Shintai, or the holy representation of the goddess, Aysn. sometimes it is a wooden image, a sword, or some other object, we have a journal of prayers in ours. But only the chief priest is allowed to visit and see the journal, thing is, we don't have a chief priest, we have a head priestess and a head priest so they are the only ones allowed inside the inner sanctum." Harry nodded as he shifted his grip on the bag and the basket.
"However, there is a secret room that few are allowed inside and I have been instructed to take you, Lord Potter, inside. But since you have a friend accompanying you I will have to ask if she is allowed to enter as well. But if she is a friend of yours I have no doubt that she will be allowed inside. Most importantly is that the guardian of your friend, Neville, come- Why are you laughing...what?" Harry dryly chuckled as Lady Longbottom coughed into her hand in an attempt to hide her own laugh.
"You know me as Lady Augusta Longbottom, but I am also known to be the Grandmother of Neville Longbottom. That is why Harry finds you funny. Take no offense but you said that I may not be allowed within then you said I was, and finally, you didn't even ask us if I would be joining as Neville's guardian. I also find you amusing but think of it as a good thing, please. Harry has needed a laugh lately, so you have done something for us already. Bless you, Eizan. May the gods show you favor when possible." Eizan was now blushing to the roots of his hair while Harry gently clapped his shoulder.
"It is a good thing that you made us happy, I was crying earlier today so you did me a favor. Now I'd like to ask a favor of you instead of being given one freely. I would like for you to ask the head priest and Ren, the head priestess to meet us near the main building. I also want you to meet us, alright?" Eizan nodded and bowed before turning around and running off to get the two of them and ask them to meet him since Harry seemed nice. Often when someone wanted to see the head priest or priestess they demanded to see them and were denied until they were ready for them.
Eizan ran around a corner and was able to stop himself from running into the two of them, "Lady Ren, Lord Matsuyo, I was asked to ask for the three of us to meet Lord Potter when able to. I told him that he was asked to meet with the Goddess but he asked for us to meet him first. He seems polite and didn't demand a visit as most do. And when I confused Lady Longbottom, Neville's Grandmother, for a random person they laughed and thanked me for letting them be happy. I ask that we see them as soon as possible, he said to meet him near the main prayer building." The two heads looked at each other knowing that Eizan normally didn't find something to favor about their guests.
Looking at Eizan the twin heads replied, "We will meet him-"
"-now if possible,-"
"-you normally don't-"
"-find favor to give-"
"-to others. Lead the way." They answered the last part in unison.
Eizan nodded and turned to rush back a little faster than the twins were. He thought that the twins would surprise him and was eager to see how he reacted to their twin-speech quirk. "Priest Eizan, Head Priestess Ren, and Head Priest thank you for taking some of your time to listen to me."
The head twins were surprised when he bowed low and waited for their greeting. "Merry met, Lord-"
"-Potter. I am called-"
"-Priest Matsuyo and I am-"
"-Called Priestess Ren."
"-We must thank you for coming to Asyn's Holy Ground." They synchronized their introduction and welcomed Harry almost earning a groan from him.
"I want to ask that the three of you meet in the 'Private Prayer Room' with me. I think that there are some things that you may be able to help me with. If you aren't able to help I'd still like for you to come." The priest and twin heads looked confused at his oblivious reaction to their twin-speech. "I'll say this for sure, you remind me of the Weasley twins when you talk... they do the same thing." understanding lit their eyes as Eizan had to refrain from pouting.
The three holy people nodded and Eizan spoke before the twins could, "Please follow us, we will lead you there." Harry and Augusta smiled with amusement once they noticed the pout from the twins at being stopped from talking.
The five of them made their way to an abandon well house in the corner of the Sanctuary and the British wizards realized it had a strong 'notice me not' spell on it. They walked inside and were surprised when the well wasn't there, there was a spiral staircase instead. The five of them walked down the long stairs until they meet and seen a large door. Harry walked up to the door to knock when it was opened from within.
Looking up Harry came face to face with a beautiful librarian. "Hello, Harry Potter, and welcome to my home. I see that you have brought gifts for me, please come in and sit down. I felt your wish to have my priests come with you and I know you have a reason for coming. Please, tell me why you came even after your answer was found."
Harry bowed to her and followed her inside her home after taking off his shoes by the door. And washing his hands in a bin. He motioned for Augusta to do the same and as she did so Harry dried his own hands on a fluffy towel that wasn't too soft. "Thank you Asyn, for allowing me to bring them with me. I brought you a few books from Britain and asked my house elf friends to make a snack... oh... Doug made more than a snack, he made a meal."
Asyn gently laughed a soothing melody. "I find that house elves often make more food when it comes to serving us gods and goddesses. The five of you may eat with me, now please continue Harry." Harry nodded respectfully to her.
"I thought that it may have still been you answering my plead to know about house elves and decided to thank you. And on the way here I thought about what all I had planned and decided to ask for help to get a few wizarding shops opened. I just need a Wand expert for my store, Wands for Wizards, and maybe a list of other purebloods who weren't able to get a job to ask for help running a few things. I am willing to pay you and anyone who helps as much as possible when I get anything. Plus I ask for a list of people since I left my list of shops at home and Dobby is at-" A loud pop rung through the air and Dobby was beside him. Harry smiled at him, "Hey Dobby, can you do me a favor?"
Dobby jumped up and down, eager to be of help. "Yes Dobby will do a favor for the great Harry Sir. What may Dobby do for you... Lady Asyn! Dobby is happy to meet you! Dobby never thought that Dobby would meet a god or a goddess in Dobby's lifetime! What may Dobby do for the Great Goddess of Learning and Wisdom?!" Dobby bowed to Asyn and tried to be still even though he was too hyper about meeting her to sit still.
"Dobby, please listen to Harry's request for me." Dobby stood up somewhat offended and nodded curtly yet politely before turning to Harry. Harry felt Dobby's willingness to listen to him and decided to act like he usually acted with Dobby when he didn't see him all day.
"First, did you have any trouble at Ichigo's house? No? Good. I want to know if you are willing to go ask Mana for the Shop & Business paper and the Jobs to be Introduced in Japan paper. Will you do that for me, please?" Harry watched as Dobby saluted him Before Harry came up with an idea. "Will you also bring some blank paper and a few ink pens of the muggle kind so I can take notes of what is said, too?" Dobby nodded before popping away leaving a pair of confused twins and awed priest.
"Now my holy ones, you must see what is so special about Harry. He is kind, respectful, considerate, loving and willing do what he has to in order to get things done. For now I think that I'll give you a copy of a translating spell that works on books so that you don't have to ask and pay muggles to do it for you. Is their anything else that you need?" Harry Laughed at the irony.
"There will always be something I need but I don't want to trouble you when I can find things to help my goals and finish them myself... that would be rude of me and it would not bring me satisfaction of a job well done. Finding Purebloods and other wizards I can't do since I can't track magicals." Augusta laughed at Harry's answer knowing that every bit of it was true while the priests looked at him with even more respect than before. Dobby chose that moment to pop into the room again and he dropped the files off and gave Harry the paper and five pens. "Thank you, Dobby."
Dobby bowed to the goddess before sneaking into a corner in hopes to stay. "Now these shops are good. Hm... The jobs need to be straitened out a little but seem well rounded as well. I'm going to read them aloud for my holy priest to observe.

"They all sound well thought out to me but since he is just starting a wizarding community he may need human opinions. That is why I read them to you." The twins and young man nodded as they thought about the list.
Eizan spoke first, "Maybe we can have the special forces and warlocks as a branch of the government to prevent any future dark wizards and to be trained in case any appear. They might also want to make sure that there aren't wizards who abuse their powers, that may be a future problem once the 'muggleborn', as Harry puts it, start learning magic in mass.' Harry nodded and wrote it down quickly.
Harry kept writing as he asked, "Does that mean we need to have a building where we house our governing body or maybe a headquarters for magical uses?" Ren looked startled by the question but recovered quickly.
"Maybe, but we would have to make sure that nobody in our governing body has a greedy streak, favoritism towards one race over the others for an unjustified reason, or a grudge that causes hatred against the other government officials since that would stop good work from being completed." Ren spoke with all seriousness. Harry wrote that down too and listened in case anyone spoke based on another idea.
Matsuyo was deep in thought as the other two waited for him to speak his turn. "I suggest that we wait to open certain shops. Like Karakura Town's Wizarding Guild since we will need to have a group of people organized to work there. Enchanted: Talismans and Other Powerful Objects and both of the Freedom of Health businesses might have to wait unless we can get a potions master and a few experienced potioneers to help us. Possibly even The Mellow Comet or The Second Blossom will have to wait unless we add squibs and muggles to the job listing." Harry tried to write as fast and legibly as he could before anyone else spoke.
Asyn gestured for her holy people to wait and they did as she commanded. When Harry was done writing the last part she spoke again, "It would be good if you hired the squibs since many from Europe can't find jobs in the world that they love. Plus we could hire werewolves and other less liked magicals to help with these jobs. That would allow for the shops to open quicker than originally planned and it would help a minority find a place to call home. I can give you a list of homeless werewolves and vampires to help you when needed and they would appreciate the pay to buy needed things and houses for them."
Harry wrote down her suggestion and labeled it with a star before looking up and finding Dobby's hand up. "Dobby you don't have to raise your hand to speak as long as you give me time to write things down. Now please tell us your latest idea, young prodigy." Dobby blushed at being called a prodigy before he came back to reality.
"Dobby thinks that we should gather a few owls to send hiring letters to all the puppies and fanged ones. That way Harry Sir may be able to start his businesses sooner. In fact, Dobby thinks that Harry sir should ask that an owlery be built before the rest of the school. After that we should build a staff residence and the offices for all the staff people. Does Dobby's idea sound good?" Harry nodded as a wide smile came across his face. Writing it down he found that Dobby's idea might be a priority too.
"Thanks, Dobby. What you and Lady Asyn said is going to be priority while you three and your ideas will be next in line with the postponement of businesses also based on the same principles as the first two. Does that sound good?" Everyone nodded in agreement with Harry's priorities. "Now for round two of worries, same order with Dobby and Asyn trading places since I need the views of people who are going to be there." Dobby seemed to pout at being second to last but everyone agreed with his reasoning.
Eizan tried to think of something else and failed to think of anything. Sighing he motioned for Ren to go. "Among the jobs listed I think that Philosopher, Salesperson, Pawnbroker, Tracker, Zookeeper, mechanic, forester, special forces, Bodyguard, Tailor, Guild people, Reporter, Midwife, spiritual healer and spy jobs should wait. There won't be many jobs for them starting out and even though we will need enforcement here we should wait until a few people are trained properly for the jobs."
Matsuyo nodded at her idea as he thought of how to add to it. He waited until Harry had scribbled down the last ideas and decided his next idea. "The jobs that we will need right away are Professor, Archivist, maybe a few enchanters to make blades for use when a wand is lost, both healers, Advisers for you, Harry. It would be nice to have a few secretaries for the clubs and each level of class courses, to keep up with who should be given more responsibilities and to see who needs tutors. We should get a school library so we will need a Librarian and you will need Cooks to feed the students and staff."
Harry nodded and scribbled before turning to Dobby who looked dejected at having no ideas. "Don't worry, Dobby. I'll need your help when it comes to a few of the stores, alright?" Dobby recovered his cute-happy-go-lucky-bouncing as his ears flapped repetitively.
"I have nothing to add either, it all sounds good to me. Now you know what to start and what is needed by your school. Can you re-read the list with notes taken?" Asyn asked Harry. Everyone turned to him and listened to his refined jobs and businesses list.

Harry looked up and seen everyone's satisfied looks before realizing that Lady Longbottom had just stood there. "Lady Longbottom, do you have anything to add?" Augusta looked him in the eye and knew what she would say.
"Harry, I have nothing to add. However, I don't mind being in charge of organizing The Mellow Comet Childrens Home and Refuge. Neville's uncle won't be around to be mean and harsh to any children so I have no doubt I won't be able to properly raise a few kids with help." Harry grinned widely as he made a mental note of her offering. "We can speak of it latter."
Harry stood right before his stomach growled, everyone had ate their share of the food and left three half sandwiches and six sushi in the basket for him. "Dobby Wants Harry Sir to go home and eat! Harry Sir's Stomach does too! Dobby will aparate Harry Sir back to the manor. And then Dobby will come back for Lady Longbottom." Harry was barely able to wave to Asyn and the three residents of her grounds before he was back at home in his dinning room.
Dobby disappeared before Harry could ask him to tell everyone goodbye. So Harry decided to sit down and eat his first half-sandwich and his sushi. A few seconds later Dobby reappeared beside Harry and nodded once he seen that he was eating. He unpacked the basket and took it to be cleaned as Neville came in.
"Hello, Harry. How did it go?" Harry nearly choked on his food from the unexpected sound since he hadn't seen Neville come in. Harry chewed carefully while he tried to find a good descriptive word or phrase.
Turning to Neville he smiled, "It went smooth, we were able to settle a few of my plans and we were able to figure out who to hire. Most of those who will work in my shops will be Werewolves, vampires, and squibs. But they will, for now, be my primary workers, does it sound good?"
Neville nodded as Harry stood and Lady Mana walked inside the room with Lady Augusta. "Harry, may I see the plan details and notes? Hm... This sounds excellent, we should be happy that the owlery is almost finished. If we really wanted to get started now we could buy several owl posts and stands to house a few here. I think that the house elves would love to care for a few birds as well as the three of you humans." Mana looked over the details carefully, as if she was searching for fault within the plans.
Looking up she was about to tell him something when an owl flew through the window. It glided over to Harry and hooted as it held out a leg for him. "Thank you, beautiful. Here have a treat and please wait in case I see a need to reply. I'll read it here,"
"Dear Harry Potter,
We are mailing you from the site of the soon to be opened Mana Institute of Magics and the Arcane to let you know that the building is almost complete.
We have finished the owlery and the staff quarters, several classrooms, five potion laboratories, eight restrooms on each of the four floors, and the great hall. We are currently working on a few of the club rooms, the library, and a quidditch pitch.
We ask that you visit us sometime soon to determine if the school is satisfactory. We will give you a tour of what is complete and what we believe needs to be worked on.
…...Sincerely
…...Walker Winfrey"
Harry looked up with a smile and scratched the owl's head earning a pleased hoot. "It looks like it won't be long before the school is opened for business! We need a ton of owls as soon as possible so we can message people for the shops!" Another tawny owl flew through the window and landed on Harry's shoulder. "Hello, who sent you?"
The tawny owl hooted mischievously as it lowered its foot showing him a letter. Reaching for it Harry was surprised when it jerked its foot away before bringing it near as if teasing him. "Let me guess, the Weasley twins bought you. You match them perfectly, Tawny. May I please have the letter in exchange for a treat?"
The owl eagerly shoved the letter at him once it was given a treat and as everyone chuckled about how many reminders of the twins they had today. "Alright, this letter says,"
"Dear Harry Potter, best friend of the world's greatest pranksters,
It is us, the Great Weasley Twins-Gred and Forge! Or more commonly known as Fred and George! We heard that you are starting a school in Japan, is it true? If so we should pay you a visit soon.
We mailed you to give you an update on the Britain point of view. Headmaster Dumbledore has gone missing, we pranked Umbridge with the portable swamp-our invention-before we decided we needed no more schooling from Hogwarts. Plus the evel-dude-known-as-he-who-must-not-be-named has been sending out search parties to look for you, so check all mail for tracers!
We haven't heard anything from you and we are worried about our partner in pranking crimes. Ron and Hermione both say that you don't care about us anymore but we know better. You're just busy with planning Mana Institute of Magics and the Arcane along with a few other shops and businesses. Don't ask us how we know, it is our secret. When we visit we will tell you.
Umbridge's blood-quill was found and she was thrown into Azkaban while McGonagall was appointed headmaster. That's all that is certain other than us visiting you after you read this letter.
...Sincerely
…...The Weasley Twins
…...Fred and George Weasley"
Harry was just about to question the letter when someone aparated into the room. "Hey Harry Sir-"
"We were worried-"
"-about you and-"
"-how Dobby is-"
"-as well as Neville,-"
"-and Augusta,-"
"-and Ichigo Kurosaki-"
"- that Fred seen-"
"-in a vision." Fred and George finished with mirroring smirks. Neville nearly squeaked thinking that they were death eaters before he relaxed with everyone else.
"It is nice to see... vision? You mean to tell me that you are a seer?" They nodded with growing snickers, "That's fantastic! I'm glad that the two of you got out of Britain before anybody found out! Most people would kill for a chance to have a seer for a friend. While I'm glad that you are my friends I'm even happier that no one will use you."
Harry smiled as Fred and George started to explained what they had seen so far. "First of all, you should know that Fred-"
"-sees the good things while George sees the-"
"-bad things, such as Voldemort and his lackeys. Now George"
"-will explain what he has seen-"
"-to let you know what, how, and when to improve or start things." They finish watching Augusta's reaction and attempting not to snicker. Augusta was trying to remain calm through her annoyance.
George cleared his throat and began, "First of all I seen you mailing someone in Britain to get a ton of owls for your owlery. Second, The people that the priests and priestesses approved are capable of doing their jobs right. Another thing is the shops, you should offer to pay Garrick Ollivander to come to japan for two weeks every third month to assign wands to students. Plus having a place for the werewolves to be at every full moon will help keep them from massacring anyone, just make sure that it has toys and some space for them." Fred pulled out a paper and smoothed it out before handing it to Harry.
"These people are going to be your best shop managers, we couldn't see what each one was in charge of but we managed to see a few and their store. I'll read my copy of the list aloud." Fred pulled out a second copy and started reading from it

Harry nodded not recognizing the names when an owl flew into the room through a window in mid air. Harry gave it a treat once he had the letter and open it with curiosity. "Let me read this since it might pertain to your list knowing who it is from."
"Dear Harry Potter,
Hello, I just made up a list of most likely to be willing minority workers. There is only werewolves and vampires but there are plenty listed who are fit to raise a kid or who has medical experience. There are others fit for different jobs but the majority of the wolves and a few vampires fit the first description both ways.
If you write a letter to each of them individually you might want to list a 'lowest pay rate' that is high enough and tell them that you are looking to hire the minority despite what others think. If you write that they are more likely to be willing to work, I would ask the to reply by the same bird on whether or not they are willing to come so you can send them money to get here.

The twins grinned as if to say 'We told you so' as Harry was beginning to think that Asyn was a seer too. "Alright, now I recognize the names, we will alter their letter saying that we need head managers. But first I need to send a letter to the store owner of Eeylops Owl Emporium and ask him to send me two hundred owls for the school and mail him the gold. Yes Lady Longbottom?"
Augusta muttered to herself before nodding, "We should pay him extra to get us friendly owls, we might need some that are good for kids in case the students or staff order a book from anywhere else." Harry adopted a serious business face and nodded.
Harry looked around as if searching for someone, "Dobby, will you please get me some wizarding ink, a quill, parchment, and a wizarding envelope. I'm going to write a letter to Griphook and I'll need you to deliver it to Gringotts and ask them to be a go-between for us. Can you do that for me?"
Dobby stood tall and smiled as he answered, "Yes Harry Sir, Dobby will bring you writing kit and deliver it too. Dobby be glad to help." Dobby gave them a cute salute and popped away in a hurry to do as he promised.
Harry smiled at Dobby's obliviousness about his endearing streak and turned to the twins who both seemed to be thinking of the same thing. "I don't think that Dobby knows how adorable he is when he is happy or eager. If we hire him for anything else we should hire him to work with the animals, owls, or kids. Agreed?" everyone nodded while they looked where he had just been.
Dobby reappeared seconds later with the requested items, "Dobby has everything that Harry Sir asked for and is willing to deliver once the letter is written." Harry carefully took the items from Dobby and started thinking about what to write. "Dobby suggests that Harry write a greeting first."
Harry looked at Dobby with an amused smile, "I know I'm just trying to think of the body of the letter. Lets write a rough draft..."
"Dear Griphook of the British Goblin Nation,
I have written to ask you a favor, I need to get word to the owner of Eeylops Owl Emporium to send two hundred friendly owls to me. If he asks my name is Charles Blackwood and I'm the guardian of Harry Potter that seen him earlier this year. I will pay you half the total worth of all the owls and the bonus for them to be friendly that I am offering.
Plus it would be good to try to get a group that is able to blend in with the environment so there aren't too many muggles commenting on the unusually large group of owls. If possible ask him to have the owls try to blend in when not traveling and to hide when resting.
...Thank you,
...Harry James Potter
...Lord of the Most Noble and Ancient House of Potter
...Lord Apparent of the Noble and Ancient House of Black"
"How does it sound?" Harry asked. Dobby bounced up and down with approval as the twins nodded in agreement with Dobby.
Augusta cleared her throat causing all eyes to land on her, "I believe that it is well rounded even if it is short. However you should add a request for them to go through your mail for tracers." Harry nodded knowing that she was right.
"PS. Will you please hire someone to go through my mail for tracers and such? I would appreciate it if you did."
Harry looked back to Augusta who nodded with her finalized approval. "Now I believe that you should use the Weasley's owl to mail it since yours is so recognizable. That way your mail will not be stolen by he-who-must-not-be-named's minions. After you mail your letter to Britain I would send a note asking to schedule a visit to Mana's school body. But we will wait for the reply letter until tomorrow morning since it is bedtime." Everyone but Harry trudged away to bed as he wrote a note to the builder of the school and sent both letters.
