Merlin Magic
Chapter 6
Harry watched a Rashid walked down a stairwell to one side of the main stairs going into the building. Harry followed Rashid down the steps then stared as the man knocked heavily upon the reinforced if poorly placed security door in the door frame. Harry watched as the door was opened slightly from inside and a voice seemed to growl from within.
"Who is it?" The male voice asked obviously not happy.
"Warden Dresden I am here on Council business may I please enter your home?" Rashid requested making it sound extremely official which Harry guessed it technically was.
"Gatekeeper please enter, but understand this. If it's for another execution I have no interest in being there." Dresden snapped. Harry blinked and looked at the very tall man who was to be his teacher. He blinked a couple times and shook his head wondering what this comment about an execution was based on.
"No warden Dresden there is no warlock about to be punished for his crimes. More a special matter only you could possibly handle, as I could not let the Merlin take on this task." Rashid said. Harry wanted to growl in impatience as he glared at the two talking adults.
"A task you could not let the Merlin attempt? It's not another thing like that note you had given to me?" Dresden asked worriedly. Rashid smirked under his hood and motioned Harry forward. Harry slowly stepped forward and looked up at the tall dark haired man.
"Hello sir." Harry said softly causing Dresden to finally notice him. Dresden looked at Harry then Rashid with an irritated face. Rashid just stood quietly and waited for the other mans reaction.
"Who's the brit child?" Dresden asked sounding very calm though his face was pinched with irritation.
"Ahh he is the task. He needs to be trained as a wizard Dresden and you are the only one I'd trust doing it." Rashid stated. "Well then again, McCoy could do it, but with his new position and the war he is a bit to busy." Rashid stated.
"I already have an apprentice if you remember Rashid, or did you forget about Molly?" Dresden snapped as Harry blinked in surprise at the statement.
"I have not forgotten at all, but this is important as Fate, Destiny, and Death are involved." Rashid stated as Harry groaned.
"Mr. Dresden, it is very important that I am taught, and apparently this man believes you are the best choice. I promise to you I won't be a problem and I'm used to being taught among others so even if you have another student it won't bother me." Harry stated after Dresden's groan.
"Listen kid you have no idea about the problems that fill my life. Truthfully I don't really have time to babysit you." Dresden stated. Harry glared at this and let an angry growl leave his lips.
"I'm not a kid and I don't need to be baby sat. I've been looking after myself as long as I can remember, and I know what trouble is like. I've been on a madman's kill list since I was born." Harry snapped. Dresden looked at the kid again then looked at Rashid. Rashid just shrugged at this and seemed to smirk.
"Those that hunt him can not reach him here, and he needs your guidance in what is right and not easy. The Merlin would teach him to follow the rules strictly and always, this child needs your way of bending the rules when necessary but never to make things easier." Rashid stated.
"Fine but where will the kid stay? I don't exactly have room for a kid in my apartment." Dresden pointed out in irritation.
"I believe he can stay at your friends place. Along with your other apprentice." Rashid stated calmly. Dresden shut his eyes before rubbing at the bridge of his nose. Once done he looked again at Harry and sighed.
"What's your name kid?" Dresden growled out causing Harry to smile at this realizing he had finally accepted the situation.
"I'm Harry Potter a pleasure to meet you Mr. Dresden." Harry stated. Dresden twitched at Harry's name then looked at Rashid irritatedly.
"Great another Harry in my city." Dresden growled out causing Harry to blink in surprise.
"Have you had trouble from people named Harry?" Harry asked. Dresden actually smiled a moment realizing something.
"It's not that Kid. My name is Harry Dresden and my best friend named his youngest son after me." Dresden stated. Harry blinked then started to laugh at this situation shaking his head.
"In other words no matter where I am... I'm going to be around another Harry." Harry said shaking his head. Rashid nodded to the two and stood at this point.
"I must return to base. Thank you for this Warden Dresden." Rashid said before turning to leave.
"Good-bye gatekeeper and thank you so much for this new situation." Harry growled out as Rashid seemed to grin beneath his hood.
"You are welcome Warden Dresden." He said then bowed to Dresden before turning and bowing the Harry and leaving.
A/N: Yeah it's been a long time. I was having serious trouble writing Dresden he just didn't want to be cooperative. Then there is also the hectic style of my life. Sorry and here's the next chapter I hope to get the next one out sooner than I did this one.
