Chapter 18

When Harry got to the top of the tower he found a comfortable spot and sat down. Looking though his school things he decide to do his DADA essay first. Harry was half way though his essay when he heard screams. Knowing that they wouldn't hurt him, Harry continued on with his DADA essay. After awhile, Harry heard foot steps coming towards him, looking up he saw the old gargoyle Hudson, and a gargoyle he had never seen before.

"Hi," Harry greeted them politely.

"Lad, why are you up here?" asked Hudson, coming to a stop when he was close enough near Harry.

"Doing homework," answered Harry.

"Who is this?" asked the new gargoyle.

"Sorry Goliath, Puck teleported him up here a few nights ago to talk to us," said Hudson, he seemed to be forgetting things in his old age sometimes.

"Why?" asked Goliath, wondering if he was any threat to his clan.

"I sometimes watch Alex," Harry said calmly and politely.

"Ok, what does this have to do with us?" asked Goliath, trying to asses the situation.

"I heard you wake up and asked what the screams were," Harry calmly told them.

"Are there no gargoyles were you live?" asked Goliath, a bit shocked but he didn't let it show.

"No, there aren't any gargoyles in Pirate Drive," said Harry.

"Where is that?" asked Hudson, wondering about this new place.

"England, it's where I live," said Harry.

"There are gargoyles in London," asked Goliath, wanting to know more about gargoyles that was alive and that lived in different countries.

"There is?" asked Harry shocked, then he remembered that Luna would have known about the London clan, he must remember to ask her.

Hudson, getting a bit old, went and sat down in a chair and listened to what they were saying.

"Yes," said Goliath with a nod.

"In Muggle London?" asked Harry, a bit shocked at this new information; he should really ask Luna when he saw her next.

"Lad, what is a Muggle?" asked Hudson with one of his eye brows raised.

"Someone without magic is called a Muggle in the wizarding world," Harry explained to them.

"Ok, why not call them humans?" asked Goliath, thinking that witches and wizards weren't humans.

"Because witches and wizards are human too," said Harry with a smile, understanding Goliath's thoughts.

"That is one way to tell them apart. But, you said the wizarding world, and when I was traveling, I saw no wizards," said Goliath with a shake of his head, remembering his travels.

"Did you see a pub called The Leaky Cauldron?" asked Harry

"Yes, but the door was closed," was Goliath's answer.

"Well, if you go out the back of The Leaky Cauldron, and tap three bricks up and two across..." said Harry, but he was interpreted by Goliath before he could finish.

"And when you do this, what happens?" asked Goliath with a bit of impatience entering his voice.

"You come to Diagon Alley," said Harry as if it was simple.

"Why do your homework up here?" asked Goliath, who had seemed to have found another question to ask, this one got Hudson involved as well.

"Lad, why?" asked Hudson, leaning as if to listen in on a big secret.

"I didn't want Alex to see me do my homework because he would want to help me," said Harry, not looking at them this time.

"Why, lad?" asked Hudson, wondering what harm homework could be.

"Because mixing magic is bad" Harry told them with a dark look on his face.
