Harry sighed as he followed behind Ron and Hermione. They were walking down Diagon Alley looking around. He sighed as he heard Ron and Hermione bickering about what Ron said about school and maybe about Professor Snape. Harry stopped paying attention when he knew a fight was about to start between his friends.
When they were passing Flourish and Bott's, Harry noticed something, or might he say someone, by the entrance. Standing looking innocent was Sirius as Padfoot with his tongue out panting. Harry looked back toward Ron and Hermione to tell them about Sirius but they were nowhere to be shrugged his shoulders.
'I could find them later. I bet they might not even notice that I'm missing' Harry thought has he turned back toward Sirius. Has he started to walk toward Sirius, the man turned dog got up and ran away from Harry.
"Hey! Wait! Snuffles, Where are you going?" Harry yelled running after the grim like dog but Sirius just keep on running. Harry had to dodge around people and had to say sorry to some of them. He was so focus on Sirius that he didn't notice a man with a snake on his shoulders coming out of the Owl Emporium until it was too late and Harry crash right into the man.
"I'm so sorry Mister! I wasn't looking where I was going." Harry said standing up from the ground to help the man stand. The man laughed as he got up with the help of Harry. "It's okay, I wasn't looking either." The man said with a smile. The man had short wavy white hair that makes his electric blue eyes stand out. The man stood five inches more than man was wearing such formal clothing to be in Diagon Alley, he was wearing black formal pants with a white button shirt that was tucked in and a black tie.
"I'm Mateo by the way. May I ask what's yours?" Mateo asked Harry, sticking out his hand. Harry looked at the man's hand in surprise, but then blushed with embarrassment when he heard Mateo laughed. He must have stared to long. Harry shake the man's hand with his own. "I'm Harry" Mateo smile kindly. Then a hissing sound came from the ground that was behind Harry.
~Yesss, ignore the poor sssnake on the ground and let anyone ssstep on him!~ hissed someone. Harry turned around so fast, he was surprised that he didn't get whiplash. 'Merlin! Is that a King Cobra!' Harry screamed in his mind, taking a step back. Behind Harry was a pure white king cobra with icy blue eyes. Harry heard a sigh behind him and saw Mateo walking toward the snake and picking it up like it's not a freaking poisonous snake!
Mateo smile at Harry to calm him. "Don't worry, Harry. Artemis won't hurt me. Well unless you hurt someone that he thinks is important to him" Harry look shocked that the snake was name after a god but also because the snake nodded his head to agree to Mateo.
Harry nodded his slowly, trying to progress in his mind about the snake. "So I take it, the snake is yours then." Of course the snake is Mateo's or the snake won't let him pick it up. Mateo laughed "No. I'm watching him until the young master comes back for him." Harry looked shocked at Mateo.'the young master….?' Harry thought. He was about to say something to Mateo when he saw Mateo frowned and glared at something behind his shoulder.
"Harry!" Harry heard his name being called behind him. He turned around to see Ron and Hermione running toward him with worried looks. 'They must of finally notice I wasn't with them' Harry thought. When he was about to call to them, he heard hissing behind him.
~Sssoon, you will be back with usss, Massster Harrissson~ hissed Artemis.
Harry turned around and notice Mateo was gone with Artemis…
Mateo walked with a glare on his face and Artemis around his shoulders. People parted like the red sea so they wouldn't be in front of the young man that was clearly angry and they didn't want to be anywhere near that snake. Mateo turned and walked into Knockturn alley. He turned his glare on anyone that was looking at him funny because of the snake around his shoulder.
Soon enough Mateo walked into a bar named Darken Rest. He nodded to the bartender and ignore all the stares he attracted from the people in the bar as he walked to the back of the bar and went to a table that two men that look the same and a women were seated at and took a seat.
"Did you find the young master, Snowy?" asked the twins, Ryder and Caleb. The twins were buff and taller then Mateo himself. The twins had short spiked brown hair with hazel brown eyes that turn red when angry or week when the full moon is about to come out. You can tell which twin is which by the number on their shirt and if you know them. Ryder the oldest would wear the number 2 to make people think that he is his younger brother Caleb that wears the number 1. The numbers would make people think that the numbers would tell them which twin is the oldest and youngest, when really it doesn't.
Ryder was wearing a white sleeveless loose shirt with his number on the front, he was also wearing khaki cargo shorts. Caleb was wearing the same clothes has his younger brother but the shirt was black and with his number.
The men around the table looked at the woman that had Artemis that moved from Mateo's shoulder to hers when they heard laughter at her side. The woman had light purple white hair with white eye color in her eyes. She was wearing black lipstick, a black crown necklace around her neck, white corset top with straps, and tight black pants.
"What's funny, Vivian?" asked Ryder. Vivian looked at the twins with amusement in her eyes. "Of course he found the young master." This time it was Caleb that asked. "And how would you know that?" Vivian set her gaze at Mateo with a smirk on her face, and he sighed. She always knows what happens by just looking at him.
"If he didn't find him like all the other times he went out, he would be frowning. But this time he came in with a glare on his handsome young face. So something must have happen. And plus Artemis was almost purring meaning he found his master." Vivian said as she cross her left leg on her right twins looked back at Mateo.
"I found him alright or actually he found me." Mateo said gaining confused looks from the twins. "I was walking out from the Owl Emporium when all of a sudden someone crashes into me and makes me fall on the ground. When I looked up, I saw it was him. Black messy hair and the same emerald green eyes as the king." When Mateo looked at the group, they looked amused with how he find the young master.
"So, now we have to get the young master back to Onbekende Winter. And mission complete!" said the twins with excitement in their voice.
"But there is a problem isn't there Snowy?" asked Vivian seriously to Mateo. Everytime she is serious, she always say his nickname for his wolf and no one knows why that is though.
"Yes. When I left, his friends found him and was running toward him. So now he has company with him that I bet will not leave him alone." Mateo sighed. When he saw his young master's friends, they didn't feel right to him. Their smell didn't smell like worried like the look on their faces show but anger.
"That will be a problem then." Vivian said as turned to looked at Artemis on her knows that the King Cobra misses his master. The snake was born to protect Harrison and watch over him when they couldn't, but the snake was still too young when the people took their little raven from them.
"No it won't" said the twins at the same time. The other two look at them twins sighed and shook their head.
"What would you two-" said Ryder.
"Do without us and-" continue Caleb.
"Our wonderful plans" finished both of them as they crossed their arms together.
"We would have be saved from your messes." laughed Vivian looking at the twins that were now pouting.
"Funny, very funny" said the twins that were now leaning in. "Okay, listen up. This is what we are going to do."
"Hermione, I'm fine." sighed Harry telling her the tenth time that he was fine and wasn't injured.
"I don't know that until I check." Hermione said. "We are just worried about you Harry. We were worried that you were kidnapped when you wasn't with us." Ron nodded his head.
"Yea, mate." Ron said putting his hand on Harry's right shoulder. "You would never know but maybe that guy was a Death Eater."
Harry looked at Ron with a bored look on his face. "And you would have know, wouldn't Ron?" Ron looked at him with a smirk. "Hey, with you around, better safe than sorry. As they say right mate?" Ron said as Harry rolled his eyes with a smile on his face.
Ron and Hermione were both forces on Harry to see if he was injured and Harry was forced on how to make them see that he was okay, that they didn't notice a white wolf with electric blue eyes sneaking up to them until it jumped on Harry and took Harry's small bag that holds his money and started running away.
"Hey!" yelled Harry. 'Today is not my day with dogs.' Harry thought has they started running after the wolf. People stared at them weirdly as they chased after the wolf but they didn't care.
"What do you have in that bag, Harry?" said Ron tiredly behind ran after the wolf for over thirty minutes and they lost Hermione ten minutes ago. But Harry wasn't even tired, he was use to running for longer periods of time because of Dudley and his gang, so this was nothing.
"My money is in the bag." yelled Harry behind him to Ron. Then the wolf looked behind him to see Harry and Ron chasing after him. 'I need to lose that red-headed boy or the plan won't work' thought Mateo in his wolf form. Harry looked surprised that the wolf glared at them and turned back around to start running faster. 'Why does that wolf remind me of someone?' Harry thought has he runs faster after the wolf.
Soon enough Harry lost Ron five minutes after the wolf started to run faster and this time when the wolf looked behind, the wolf looked please that it was only Harry chasing after him. 'I bet it thinks that it can lose me faster now' Harry thought. Harry smiled to himself after he saw the wolf run into a blocked alley. 'Now, I got you' Harry thought happily as he run into the alley after the wolf.
As Harry stopped, he looked around confused. There was no one there but him. "What? Where's the wolf? Don't tell me I just lost my money!" Harry also yelled. He was about to turn around and go find Ron and Hermione, when he heard a yelled Stupefy and saw a red light hit him. The last thing that he thought before his world went black and fell into a pair of arms was: 'Me and my bloody potter luck.'
