So…I would love to say I haven't updated because I was making a really chapter with amazing transitions, flawless details and suspense filling cut offs…but I can't. I haven't worked on anything for quite a bit and I feel guilty as heck. Admittedly, I had final exams for. Admittedly again, this is my third week of summer vacation. I keep breaking promises :( Sorry folks.

VERY IMPORTANT

Okay, I have no real recollection of what the fuck I was thinking for this fanfiction. I went and read the summary I made and don't remember jack shit. So I'm altering it, sorry but not really, and I've posted the NEW Summary below. If you I lose a whole bunch of you I'm sorry, but I can't write about what I don't remember.

Harry Potter and the Inner Demon

Chapter 14

Back in there room, Seshomaru went to work choosing his course books and left Natsu to his own devices. The young inu youkai chose to spend his time going over his own bookshelf. There was an empty shelf at the bottom that he presumed was for his own books and he decided filling it up would be his first task. He looked through each, hit with the memories they possessed. In his hands he currently clutched Unfogging the Futureby Cassandra Vablatsky.

It had been that summer he first saw Sirius, just before getting on the Knight Bus and arriving at the Leaky Cauldron. That had been his first summer of true freedom. Of course there had been the time three of the Weasley brothers had rescued him with an illegal, flying Ford Anglia, but Natsu had been restricted all the same. At the Leaky Cauldron the only rules he had to obey were to stay in Wizarding London and be in before dark. There were next to no boundaries.

Setting the book on the shelf beside Intermediate Transfiguration, Natsu continued to shift through his books. When he got to Defensive Magical Theory by Wilbert Slinkhard he couldn't help but wonder whether he should just toss it. Like Umbridge's classes, he couldn't help but feel that the book was completely useless. It was much too dry for his tastes and it served as a reminder of the nasty woman. At the same time it held valuable information that he was unable to just throw it away. So, Natsu settled for cramming it against the side of the bookcase so it would be nearly invisible.

Glancing backwards to the clock sitting on a dark wooden nightstand by his bed, he realized he'd been at it for a good hour or so. He still had a few other items to remove from his trunk and temporarily abandons the bookcase.

The trunk was half empty, his old robes having been collected by the house elves for whatever reason. He reached inside and pulled out his invisibility cloak. Pulling it out, he heard little chinks from bits of glass falling out of the fabric. A frowning Natsu put the cloak to the side and promised himself to ask a house elf to clean it. He hoped the glass hadn't ripped it, despite finding out he wasn't even really, trulya Potter, James believed it and so had Dumbledore when he gave it to him.

It was precious memento.

For a while Natsu gazed at the album he had received from Hagrid his first year. The happy faces of Lily and James smiled up at him from their photos, eyes sparkling with love. He felt his heart breaking. What he wouldn't have given to meet them just a month ago. He turned the page of the album. Now he had a family, even if it was just one person it was enough for him. He waved back as a much younger Lily raised her hand in silent greeting. Her hair was tied up and she was surrounded by what Natsu could only guess were friends. One looked eerily like Seamus, she had the same nose and eyes.

Setting it by his clock Natsu began to think about the coming school year while carefully removing larger chunks of glass from his trunk. How would they explain the sudden private schooling of Harry Potter? It would fit in just perfectly now that the Ministry formally announced the return of Voldemort, but there wasn't enough reason for him to get special treatment. It would look odd and appear as possible favoritism if his Headmaster sent him away like that.

The glass he managed to remove from the trunk lay in a pile to his left looking slightly dangerous and trashy. Somewhere inside Natsu was a burning hope that he could contact Sirius. Though his attempt at this failed several times last year, it wasn't enough to dissuade him from trying again. He gripped one of the larger pieces in his hand and stared at its clear surface, his reflection staring back at him with glowing eyes.

"Sirius Black."

Nothing happened.

A rush came over him and Natsu swallowed hard. "Sirius Black." Again nothing happened. He blinked away tears and put it down shakily. Sirius wouldn't want him to be like this, not so miserable and weepy about his death. But he couldn't help it, he missed Sirius and a part of him blamed both Remus and himself. Remus for not letting him go after his father figure and himself for allowing Voldemort to manipulate him the way he had. A tear rolled down his cheek Natsu wiped it away viciously. There was no point in crying now.

Tottering down the hall and into the bathroom, Natsu noted the slightly puffy look to his eyes. He made sure to cool off before walking down the staircase to where his brother now sat on the couch. Arms flung over the back, Seshomaru seemed exhausted. A glance at the clock on the mantle told him it was nearing three in the after noon and they had missed lunch.

"Did you choose your books?"

His aniki looked at him with a miserable face but nodded and let his head fall back over the edge of the couch. A small giggle escaped Natsu and he sat beside his brother. His eyes slid over the books seperated from the rest, just two.

"Attack of the Muggle by Richard Dodger and The Physical Aspect of Dueling by Nicola Fista," he read allowed interestedly. His brother grunted and sat up. "I skimmed them both and visited the Potion's Master for a greater summary. He is well educated in the different forms of defense. I plan to have them read Fista's the first Semester and Dodger's second semester." Natsu looked at him in surprise.

"You went to Snape? He would actually talk to you?" Seshomaru arched a brow and replied that yes, the man was very intelligent and was more than willing to tell him about the books. "I had brought a few more books as well, though he hadn't read all of them, and he advised these two as being the best for what I plan on teaching." Seshomaru glanced at the clock, "We've missed lunch."

"Yeah, and I was wondering if we could take my invisibility cloak to the kitchens to see if an elf could clean it." Seshomaru had no clue what his brother was talking about but agreed.

"So you know where these 'kitchens' are?" Natsu nodded and ran upstairs to fetch his cloak. He came back down carrying it in a ball very carefully. His aniki rose an eyebrow but kept silent. The two exited their rooms and head out of the dungeons to the kitchens. They passed hundreds of portraits, all wondering who they were, and a MrsNorris hissed at them before running to find her master. Seshomaru smirked a little at this while his brother choked with laughter.

Arriving at the painting of the pear, Natsu removed a hand from his bundles and tickled it with his index finger. Seshomaru watched with interest, no doubt committing this to memory for the future. The elves did notflock toward them, but a few came to greet them and offer them some pumpkin pasties The refused but ask for a small lunch. Moving further into the kitchen, they came to face Remus, sitting at a small table with Dobby.

The two looked up at them and Remus smiled before moving over for them to sit down and Dobby ran off to work. Natsu was unable to hide the cloak but apparently it was taken as a rag. He kept it beside him, his heart beating furiously against his chest as the werewolf appraised them. The amber eyes were unnerving as were the notably dark rings under them.

Remus J Lupin had the remarkable appearance of a man who was hit with a great change and was too far in shock to pay it any attention.

Natsu couldn't help but feel his anger at him fade. He was in just as much pain as he was. Remus explained he had come for a cup of tea and a snack after having finished reviewing the Hospital Wing's files. "It's necessary to know all their histories, as some of the shadier incidents could have signs of abuse, depression, suicidal attempts, those kind of things." His eyes looked sad.

"Dobby, the house elf, was telling me about some of the visits the kitchens get. It's a good place to come and relax. He's agreed to come to me if anything suspicious or odd happens." He took a long sip of his drink. "What brings you two down?"

"We missed lunch," Seshomaru replied with ease. "I thought we might as well come and get something." Remus nodded and took a sip of his tea. At that moment two house elves arrived at the table with four plates of sandwiches, salads and two soup bowls. Needless to say, the inu youkais stared at the small feast before them with shock. The werewolf chuckled lightly.

Seshomaru managed to shove most of it onto his younger brother, taking only one sandwich and a soup. Natsu managed to eat two sandwiches and his soup before pleading fullness. Remus took half of an egg salad sandwich when offered and nibbled on it half heartedly.

"So you'll be teaching physical defence, Professor Janfrer?" He asked.

"Yes, they'll be prepared for most anything when I'm done with them," Seshomaru replied a little apathetically, "From what the Headmaster tells me, students are relying too much on their wands." Remus nodded in understandng before claiming he should get back to his office. The two waved him out before Natsu breathed deeply.

Turning to an elf, he asked her if she could remove the little bits of glass in his cloak. She nodded her head excitably and asked with a squeaky voice, "Is Tinky to be keeping glassies or throwing thems out, Sir?" Natsu froze. Could the really just get rid of the last thing he ever got from his godfather? "Yes, can you put them in a little bag for me, Tinky?" The elf nodded again and left for a moment with his cloak.

When she came back with his cloak folded neatly, she also held a small dark blue satin bag. She handed them back to Natsu smiling from one crooked ear to the other. "Thank you, Tinky," Natsu said kindly and took them. The elf seemed torn between crying and hugging him, instead it started to babble about him not needing to thank her and blushing furiously before running back to work.

The two youkais left the kitchen laughing.
