"How did I get into this mess?" Harry asked aloud. He and Teddy were seated or rather Harry was taped to a chair in the cellar in the middle of a devil's trap with Teddy resting at his feet.
"So who are you really?" Harry looked up to find himself looking at a muggle version of Molly Weasley.
"I'm Harry Potter-Black, this is my Godson Theodore 'Teddy' Remus Lupin. I'm his legal guardian both by nomination and by blood. I'm an aquantence/chef/apprentice/cleaner of Bobby Singer...I'm a natural born wizard, my Godson is Half Metamorphagus, Half Werewolf and natural wizard." Harry explained before focusing on the bottle of holy water in the woman's companions hands.
Harry remembered she was the one who got Teddy away from him and then judo flipped Harry to the floor, grabbed his bag and dragged down stairs with Teddy following willingly.
Flashback
"Everyone calm the fuck down or get out." A girl called out cocking a shotgun.
Harry stared at the girl wonderment flickering through his eyes. He hastily let his opponent fall to the floor with a thump. The other hunters in the bar realised that it the girls statement was an order for everyone else to leave.
They left quickly when the girl began to count. "Hey there little guy. I know you probably don't trust me but I'm going to need you to come with me." The girl said to Teddy who crawled away from her towards the safety of behind Harrys chest.
"Look thanks for that but my godson is really terrified right now. I understand the need for security so please I swear on my life and honour that I'm not going to do anything foolish or stupid."
The girl nodded "Considering I've got your arsenal of guns and various papers."
"Teddy you can trust her..." The moment Teddy departed from his back his world turned black.
End Flashback
Harry looked at the water and the salt "Pass 'em over...mix 'em." The woman stared at him and mixed the water and salt before walking over.
"Please no harm him." Teddy said softly looking up with big doe like eyes.
"I promise."
"Teddy they need to do this. What's your name?" Harry asked curiously.
"Ellen. Ellen Harvelle, the blonde trying to distract your godson is my daughter Jo." Ellen said with reluctance.
"Teddy, I'm going to need you to go with Jo. On the condition you won't harm him. It's not his fault for his parents." Harry pleaded he couldn't care what they did to him but he would make sure his godson survived.
"Drink this down, then we'll move on to the iron and silver tests."
Harry swallowed the disgusting mix cleared his throat "That was evil. Now we've assessed that I'm good with holy water and salt pass the iron and silver." These also provided no results and Ellen reluctantly cut him free.
"I don't trust you."
"Do you trust Bobby?" Harry retorted calmly.
"With Jo's life." Ellen replied without hesitation.
"Bobby trusts me. Heck you can call him if you want."
With that Ellen picked up the phone and dialled Bobby's number. "Singers Salvage and Repairs." She heard on the end.
"Bobby, its Ellen...No I'm fine, don't need information on a hunt. Do need information on a guy I've got tied up in my cellar."
Bobby sighed and sank into his favourite armchair with a beer "He pale like a ghost? black hair that looks like a rat nest? Piercing green eyes that could look demonic and have a kid with him?"
"Yup...Kid's adorable despite being a werewolf." Ellen replied.
"HALF WEREWOLF! SENSES AND STRENGHT WILL INCREASE ON FULL MOON! LIKES RAW STEAK!" He heard in the back ground.
"Sorry a half werewolf. Is it true?"
Bobby grunted something in response because the next thing Harry knew his bindings had been cut and Ellen had shaken his hand "Sorry about that. Names Ellen and welcome to the Roadhouse."
Harry grinned "Thanks Ellen, pleasure to make the aquaintance of a veteran hunter."
Ellen stared "How long have you been hunting?"
"Three years. First three things I killed in no particular order were a Pennsylvanian Pine Devil, Rugaru and a Wendigo oh and I saved Bobby from a Lamia." Harry explained as he went up stairs to find Teddy playing with his stuffed wolf and curled up on one of the sofa seats.
Jo looked up to see the boy she had knocked out walk out of the cellar with her mother. "He clean?"
Ellen nodded "He's a decent Hunter. Took out a Rugaru as one of his first three monsters. Also mentioned that he has some obscure morals which will lead him into conflict with more extre hunters...What is your plan?"
Harry shrugged "I'm looking for a semi-permanent residence mainly for my godson...I can pull my weight around."
Jo smirked and flipped her hair back "Can you cook? Clean?"
Harry gave her his dead eye stare "Yes. I've weened Bobby off fast food, canned food and ready meals. He can't live without my cooking which is a good thing because I make loads."
Jo smirked coyly "I think you're cute but don't get an ego now. Where are you from? You're definitely not American."
"England."
Jo and Ellen's eyes widened "Long way from home."
"Because of what I am and who I am and how tempermental where I used to live was. It was my best interest to grab my Godson and run."
"Enough chit...Get in the kitchen. I need burgers and fries." Ordered Ellen and the two teens headed into the kitchen.
"What sort of fries does your mother want?" Harry asked unsheathing a knife as he pulled out the bag of potatoes.
"What do you mean?" Asked Jo curiously as she got out the burgers before she turned around to see Harry with a potato on the chopping board and knife in hand.
"Thick cut? Thin cut? Curly?" Harry asked as he began peeling the potato.
"Thick and Thin cuts."
Harry nodded and he began to work, the mound of potatoes that were unpeeled quickly changed to peeled and he began to half the potatoe's and then cut the halves into slices.
Harry finished chopping the potatoes into thin and thick cut chips "Jo, you fry the chips. I'll deal with the burgers."
"Get as many out of the freezer as you can." Instructed Jo, causing Harry to roll his eyes at the cute blonde.
"Got mince, onions, eggs, vegetable oil, rosemary and parsley?" Jo nodded and got out several 500g packs of good quality mince.
"You have 3kg of mince, I need six eggs, three onions, four table spoons of vegetable oil and handful of rosemary and parsley." Harry grinned as the ingredients were in a big mixing tray, pulling on some gloves he began mixing them together and then making the patties.
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" A voice called. Jo yelped and Harry grabbed a knife to come face to face with Ellen.
"Cooking..."
"I only asked for you to get the burgers out the freezer along with the fries." Ordered Ellen causing Jo to gulp Harry stepped up.
"It was me. You run a bar, you serve food whilst I'm here I'll cook my way...Jo get these burgers on, Ellen I'll cook your way if your customers don't like my cooking."
The Hunters in the bar after sensing the all clear were surprised. When they ordered burgers and fries which were the main thing they could trust at the Roadhouse were amazed! They could tell when meat had been pre-packed but these were completely different.
The meat could easily contain three 9mm rounds and were so tender it was quite frankly delicious. "Ellen, I'd suggest you bring the price of the food up because it's delicious. Did Jo cook this?"
Ellen snorted "Richard my daughter can't cook this sought of thing. You know that could that came in…Don't worry Richard the guys clean. His kid's clean no possession and if you guys had actually looked at the certificates of birth and the doctors you would have found out that the kid has an allergic reaction to silver. You DO remember what happens when silver comes in contact with werewolves?"
"Yeah they smoke like they've caught fire…You mean the kid isn't a werewolf!" Exclaimed Richard has he paid out fifteen dollars for the two beers and his meal.
"I'd recommend heading north a few hours…Small town terrorised by a couple of poltergeists. It's your sort of speciality."
Richard nodded tipped more placed his hat on his head and he set off. Harry had just finished cooking and had grabbed two burgers and settled down next to Teddy who had woken up at the smell of food "Burgers?"
"Yup…"Harry replied slicing the burger into smaller fractions Harry was about to bite into his burger when he felt someone standing above him.
"Take a seat before I get tetchy."
The man quickly sat he was a well-built man African-American heritage "Names Gordon."
"The vampire hunter, I know of you. What can I do for you?" Harry asked his hand wresting on his thigh going for his concealed Glock loaded with blessed Holy water and salt hollow point rounds. All of his weaponry had been blessed by a man of the cloth, this man suffered from particularly disturbing visions of the Apocalypse.
Flashback
Harry kicked the Poltergeist in the stomach and sent it flying down the stairs. "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit into the Light I Command Thee!(1)" The priest looked on in horror as the foot of the stairs began to shimmer like a mirage.
"INTO THE LIGHT! I! COMMAND! THEE! (2)" Growled Harry and the shimmering intensified.
Father Brian grabbed his cross, brought up his shaky faith "Blessed be god father, son and holy spirit blessed be his kingdom, now and forever into the light I command thee (3)."
The shimmering disappeared to reveal a gaunt man cackling with insanity "Brother Sean! How could you!" Gasped Father Brian at the poltergeist, which cackled even more at the fear present.
"Show no fear, feel no fear and hear no fear good father. Take these it's salt, petrol and a lighter and torch his bones…" Growled Harry as he slid on the resurrection stone "…In the name of Mort and as his champion among man I bind you poltergeist."
Bindings of iron shot out of the stairs trapping the poltergeist down as not minutes later it erupted into flames. "What was that sir?"
"A poltergeist…I was looking for you Father…The name is Hadrian James Potter."
End Flashback
It had taken several beers for the priest to bring up his visions, when Harry had told him that the father was a blessed of the lord by being given his visions of the future it had done several things. The first was harden the man's heart against evil and ignited the desire to ascend into the heavenly ranks.
Flashback
"Before you leave Mr. Potter is there anything I can do?" Asked the priest as he began engraving a shotgun and pistol he had purchased with ancient writes onto the barrel.
"I need you to bless my car and arsenal and could I get a confession."
The priest stared in shock as the boot opened up to reveal a massive hollowed out compartment concealing an entire arsenal of firearms. "What are you intending to do with all of this?"
"You shield the good people's faith from temptation of the Crossroads and the Pit. I defend humanity in general from all things. It's not the job of choice but it gives me satisfaction that the generation of tomorrow may not need to do such a chore."
"I can see your soul, it is pure white and garbed in black. You risk damnation…"
"I'd run the risk of damnation any time to save my godson…The generation before me made a mess and my lot have just cleaned it up…"
"I'll bless it…What are you going to do?"
"In the next two years you're services in exorcisms are going to be needed and sometime in 2009 the Apocalypse is going to begin…I've seen what you've seen father. The reason I need you to bless the armoury in my trunk is because 'demons run when a good man goes to war'(4)."
"Night will fall and drown the sun, When a good man goes to war. Friendship dies and true love lies, Night will fall and the dark will rise, When a good man goes to war. Demons run, but count the cost. The battle's won but the child is lost (5)." Brian finished looking at Harry's shocked face.
"It's an old poem. I take it you're the good man?"
"Good? Doubt it. But yes I'll fight."
End Flashback
Father Brian had left the church and acquired himself an Chevrolet and was supposedly racking up a demonic exorcism count that could rival an angel.
"I need a partner for a hunt." Gordon explained trying to a slice of Teddy's burger. Teddy snarled at the intrusion getting a smirk from Harry.
"That boy needs some manners." Snarled Gordon going for his knife to find he was staring down the barrel of a Glock that was loaded and a deathly serious Harry staring back at him. Several clicks were heard as the entire bar had their guns trained on the two hunters.
"You need to stop feeding your colleagues to Vampires. The group in question are vegetarian, let this be clear. If they harm humanity they are fair game if they don't you leave alone. Have you got that you bloody spanner? Now get out and never come back." Harry growled as his forth finger was went towards the trigger.
