Chapter 9
After showing the doctor our, David came back to Harry's room, where everyone was.
"Owen, stay here and let me know the minute that he wakes up. And please remember what the doctor said." David said who wanted to talk with Harry. Even in the short time that Harry has been with them, Harry has managed to some how get into their hearts.
"I will, sir." Owen said with a short bow.
"Good. Now, Fox and I will take Alex with us today. That should help you for the day." David said. He didn't want to leave anything to chance.
"Yes, Mr. Xanatos." Owen said, expecting the help he was given.
"Good; and Owen, I want to buy Grunnings. Call my lawyer, because I want to talk to the Dursleys about this." David said. David had a feeling that it was Harry's relatives, the Dursleys who hurt Harry and he wanted to make sure that it wouldn't happen again.
"Can I ask you why, sir?" Owen said, interested in what David was planning.
"I want to guarantee that this doesn't happen again. I want to know how this happened in the first place. I would hate to think that this has happened before." David explained to Puck and Fox.
"And buying Grunnings will guarantee this?" Owen asked with a raised eye brow.
"Yes, because I will fire Mr. Dursley if I hear one bad thing happens to Harry. This will make sure that I get my answers." David said with a smirk.
"As you wish." Owen said while returning David's smirk with one of his own.
"Good. Please start this after Harry wakes up. I don't want him alone when he wakes up." David said.
"Yes, sir." Owen said, with a nod of acceptance.
"Good, and Owen? Please call me when he feels like talking. I would like to talk to him and I know that Fox would like to talk to him too." David said, who didn't want Harry to suffer any more then he already had.
"Yes, sir." Owen said in understanding.
With this Mr. Xanatos walked out of the room and Owen sat down. He was watching Harry and hoping that he would wake up soon. From all that he had seen of the boy he knew that the boy could go either way; good or evil, it would all count on how he was cared for. Around noon, Mr. Xanatos called to see if Harry was awake. He was told that there was no change. Then, around one, Mrs. Xanatos came home to give Alex to Owen. Alex was sitting on Owens lap when he teleported to the bed. And before Owen could stop him, he poked Harry, and this time, Harry woke up.
"You up!" Alex said in a demanding sort of way, he wanted Harry to play with him.
"Yes, Alex. I am up." Harry said. Harry slowly opened his eyes and tried to sit up. Owen, noticed that Harry wasn't up to full strength yet, helped him and propped Harry up in a sitting position with some help from the pillows.
"Good, then you can eat some soup before we talk today." Owen said, not giving Harry a choice in the matter, the kid was way to skinny in Owen point of view.
"Okay." Harry said, knowing that he couldn't get out of it.
When Owen returned with the soup, Harry ate some with Alex sitting next to him. Harry was watching Alex the whole time. It seemed as if this was a game for Alex, in some sort of way.
"You want to play?" Harry asked Alex, pushing his soup away after he had enough. In Owens's opinion, what Harry had eaten of the soup wasn't enough for a bird to survive on.
"Okay." Alex said happily.
Without any warning, Mr. Burnett changed into Puck and started to float in the air next to Harry's bed.
"Hey, kid, you feeling ok?" Puck asked with concern.
"Yes, sir." Harry said, trying to make sure that Puck didn't worry about him.
"Good. Now, you remember that if you want to talk I will listen, okay?" Puck told the boy who had some how managed to find his way into his heart.
"Story!" Alex said, and officially stopping the heart warming moment.
"Hey, now you used real words instead of ones you make up." Harry said, surprised.
"Yep." Alex said.
"Why?" Puck asked in surprise and curiosity.
"Harry is fun when you are not here." Alex replied.
"Oh." Puck said with amusement.
"More friends, more fun." Alex said with a nod of his head in a cute way.
"True." Harry said, agreeing with Alex.
"Kid, you want to watch Alex's magic lesson?" Puck asked.
"Yes, sir." Harry said.
"Okay, then. Come on, Alex, time to call your grandma." Puck said who didn't bother to correct Harry with his manners.
"Why?" Asked a now frowning Alex.
"That is the lesson for today," said Harry.
"Ok," Said Alex with acceptance.
Puck showed Alex how to call Avalon using a mirror. Harry watched Alex's lesson for a couple of hours. Things final seemed to be getting better for Harry.
