" You will come back right ?" Harry asked his caretaker with a pleading look on his face as she gently putted him down on the ground.
4 weeks had passed since he had met Greyfia and her daughter Gabrielle and his life turned even better. During all this times, his body was no more scrawny like it used to be and now he looked like a healthy boy… except he was still small. What also changed was his friendship with two girls he saw as his best-friends.
One of them was none other than Gabrielle, the really nice albeit exuberant young Griffon and the other was Esther's daughter : Lilith (a name that shocked him as it was close to his mother's). She was the carbon copy of Esther and was just as gorgeous as her mother but instead of pink hair, she had dark blue one (whom she inherited from her father apparently).
Harry had met her barely two days after meeting Gabrielle and he grew to like her. Unlike his Griffon friend, Lilith was calm, composed but could be pretty funny when she wanted to be. The young Succubus's calm nature was a polar opposite to Gabrielle's… playful nature.
But he loved them both equally.
But unknown to him, the two young Mamonos (after their first meeting) became rivals and tried their best to get as much of his attention as possible… which amused their parents whenever they were around.
Speaking of parents, Gabrielle's mother, Greyfia, has accepted to become his Combat-Teacher and every Friday and Monday, she would come to give him some lessons. Even if he was still too young to have the same training that guards, Greyfia taught him enough to defend himself if he somehow end up in trouble.
Much to Gabrielle and Lilith's happiness and pleasure, the scrawny child was slowly getting some muscles instead of bones. But his physical wasn't the only thing that changed during those four weeks, his magic also grew stronger.
Thanks to Esther's tutelage (and the memories he got from the misty creatures that lived in his scar), he could use his magic whenever he wanted… but decided to use it only when necessary… or to make his friends laugh a bit.
Esther and Grayfia, along with Jaya, were all proud of what he accomplished so far . The first two had to admit that he was nothing but an eager student who seems to absorb knowledge like sponge. Harry was in short, a prodigy for the two Mamonos and the young boy would beam anytime he received some praises from his mentors… but particularly from Jaya, his official caretaker.
Which was noticed by the three Adults…
But they also noticed that each time he would play with Gabrielle and Lilith, he would only play at one of THEIR games and never once proposed for himself.
It seemed that Harry, despite not being as nervous and terrified as before, still held some fear about being rejected by Jaya (or anyone else in that matter) if he didn't pleased her. It always saddened them to see him like this while filling them with anger at the ones responsible for this.
After a short talk, the young boy had promised to start doing things for himself instead of doing it for the others. While he was still a little shy and nervous from time to time, Harry was slowly but surely gaining enough confidence to at least make propositions during games or working for his own pleasure (even if a part of him was still trying to please both his teachers and Jaya).
Apart of that, not many things had changed for Harry. Sure he was growing stronger and more confident but he was still the humble and well-mannered boy Jaya had met in the woods weeks ago. Something the Jinko was very grateful as she was a bit scared to turn him into a spoiled brat but so far… it didn't happen.
Back to present, Jaya was called to train some new members in the guard and the Jinko had no choice but to go to the fifth level of the city to do her job. Of course, she couldn't take Harry with her as it could distract her from her job. Thanks to Greyfia, Jaya decided to leave Harry in the building used by mothers to keep their children until their return.
It was a sort of daycare in short… All parents left their kids there but some preferred instead to leave them to friends or relatives.
It was their choices after all…
The poor child had been a bit distraught at the prospect of being left alone with some strangers but after many hours of comforting and sooth talking, the dark haired boy reluctantly accepted. Afterwards, Jaya made some calls as she wanted her charge to be as safe as possible.
And it worked.
How ?
You will see in a minute.
"Of course I will kitten~" Jaya cooed at him before kissing the top of his head in a loving manner.
"Promise ?" he asked her nervously as he hold his pinkie finger.
Smiling tenderly at the little one, the Jinko did the same (even if her finger was MUCH bigger than his)
"I promise~" she cooed at him gently before adding with a smile
"Now be a good boy for Miss Welma~"
"I will !" Harry promised to the Jinko with a bright smile on his face.
"Good boy~" Jaya complimented him gently while patting the top of his head with one of her large paws.
The little Wizard giggled at his action before hugging her leg tightly, whispering softly "See you later Mom..."
Four days ago, Harry had started to call Jaya 'Mom' which had greatly shocked the Jinko but had also greatly pleased her as she grew to see him as her own little kitten. While she knew she couldn't replace Harry's true Mother, she will make sure that Lily's sacrifice wouldn't be in vain and will turn their little Harry into a strong, healthy and happy man.
"See you later kitten~" Jaya whispered motherly to her adoptive son before giving him another kiss on the forehead.
Then they pulled away from one another and after, one last goodbye, the Jinko slowly left the area, waving at Harry who returned it eagerly as he watched his adoptive mom slowly disappearing out of his vision.
Once his mother's form disappeared out of sight, Harry turned his head to look at the inside of the daycare and was a bit pleased to see that he wasn't be the only child here : six girls were present and among them two he happily recognized. They were all more or less the same age as him… if not slightly older.
Gabrielle, the exuberant but gentle Griffon and Lilith the gentle and caring Succubus.
Apart of these two, were four girls, all different type of Mamonos, and he would be lying to himself if he said that he wasn't a bit curious about them.
-The first girl looked like a Lamia but with Dragon features (antler-like horns, fin-like ears, scaly clawed hands): she had long golden hair with fringes covering her forehead, gorgeous sky blue eyes peek from under them, rather mesmerizing to look at. She had fair skin and her scales were of the same color than her hair.
The fur running down from the top of her lower-body to the tip of her tail were also golden in color. Her slender upper body was clad by a long and whitish kimono and her tail was partly wrapped by a golden bet of some sort.
Harry's eyes widened when he realized what she was : a Ryu ! However, to not look rude, he shook his head to regain his composure before looking at the other three young Mamonos.
-The second girl looked to be pretty strong and intimidating, and to Harry, she looked like a Demonic creature.
Why ? Because she looked like a mix between a Dragon( because of the wings, scaly left arm and the Dragon-head on her left shoulder), a Snake (the tail), a Goat (because of the white goat-like head on her right shoulder, her furry legs and her hooves) and a Lion (feline hair at the top of her head, furry right arm). There were also two pointy horns behind the ears. Then Harry saw her eyes : one was light blue and the other was light purple.
From what he managed to read through Jaya's library, Harry deduced that he was looking at a Chimaera, a strong Mamono and seen as a Dark Beast. Unlike the other girls, she looked to be a bit older… maybe around 9 or 10 at most. Looking away, he stared at the remaining girls.
- The third one was covered in fur which were as dark as her skin and her eyes were burning red in color. Along with that she had canine features such as dog-like ears, clawed hands, large clawed paws instead of feet and a dark fluffy tail. Like some of the girls here, she wore nothing except bare necessities.
It was a Hellhound… a living Hellhound !
Harry was fascinated : he had read about them but had never thought that one day, he would got to meet one. Now that he stared at her, the dark haired child had to admit that she looked more like a large puppy than how a Hellhound is supposed to be.
In fact, she was standing on all four beside his friend Lilith who patted her head from time to time. From that simple gesture, Harry could tell that the two of them knew each other… maybe they were friends ?
Who know…
Shaking his head, our young hero then looked at the last girl…
-She was without a doubt a Dragon but different from Saphira and Lila (the Dragon girls he had met when Jaya first entered the city). This girl had huge wings instead of arms (mostly dark red in color except for the underside which was a dull-yellow), a very long tail , scaly legs and large three toed clawed feet.
In addition, she had dark red hair made in a short shouldered haircut, a crest of spurs on his head instead of horns and no fin-like ears. But then Harry saw her eyes and found himself mesmerized by them : she had orange-yellow eyes in color which reminded him of fire and her slit-pupils looked strangely like… a keyhole (?).
"Hello there little one~" a feminine voice echoed from his right, breaking him from his observation.
Blinking, Harry turned his head to see who was talking to him : it was a Dragon-like Lamia with hard scales and a kind smile on her face. Curious, the young boy started to study her : she had a voluptuous body and from her head, he could see long fin-like protrusions (her ears perhaps ?) wiggling slightly in the slight breeze and adorning her head, was a crown of long, hard horns.
Having seen one in a book at home, our hero recognized it as a Wurm. They were called 'Earth Dragons' and were apparently strong enough to crush boulders by ramming into them. As he looked at her in amazement, the Wurm giggled in amusement as her orange eyes stared back at him.
"Don't you know it is impolite to stare, little guy ?~" she asked him teasingly as she crossed her arms under her bust.
Hearing this, Harry blushed in embarrassment and looked away from the Wurm, whispering softly in Parseltongue so no one could hear it.
"§Sorry...§"
The Snake-like Dragon blinked in shock at first but then cooed at his shyness before gently ruffling the top of his head with a 'hand'
"§It's alright dear… I was just teasing you~§" she began to say in a kind tone before asking with a hint of curiosity
"§Now tell me… aren't you, by any chance, Jaya's little one ?§"
"§You know my Mommy ?§" Harry asked her with curiosity, all trace of shyness gone.
"§Of course ! We trained together as guards a few years back… I miss that time….§" the Wurm answered with a deep sigh filled with nostalgia.
However, it quickly disappeared as a flash of remembrance passed through her eyes.
"§Oh ! Where are my manners ? My name is Edna ! A pleasure to meet you cutie~§" the Wurm told our young hero in a friendly tone.
"§I'm Harry… Nice to meet you too Miss Edna...§" Harry responded shyly with red cheeks.
"§Awwww don't be shy dear ! I won't eat you~§" Edna cooed at him gently.
The young boy's face reddened a bit more at this but was saved from embarrassment when he heard someone calling out his name
"HARRY !"
The young Wizard and the Wurm turned their heads to see Gabrielle rushing toward him with a bright smile on her face, followed by Lilith who had a soft smile on her own face. Behind them, the other four girls were staring in silence, their curious eyes fixated on Harry… especially the Ryu and the Wyvern… along with the Chimaera's snake.
"Hey Gaby !" Harry greeted his friend with a soft smile before grunting when she engulfed him into a tight hug, literally lifting him up in the air.
The Wurm looked amused as she watched the entire thing, saying nothing or doing nothing.
"I'm so happy you are here !" the young Griffon cooed in happiness as she hugged her friend tightly with a bright smile on her cute face.
"Gaby ! You are going to kill him at this rate !" Lilith told her with a scowl as she crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes glaring at the Griffon.
Gabrielle blinked at those words before looking at her human friend… who indeed looked a little blue. With a sheepish smile, the young Griffon released her hold on him, letting him take deep breathes to fill his lungs with fresh air.
"Sorry..." Gabrielle muttered sheepishly to her human friend who after a couple of breathes, turned his head to look at her with a soft smile.
"It's okay… I'm happy to see you too..." he replied softly before giving her a little hug.
Harry James Potter still had troubles with marks of affection even after weeks under Jaya's care. After all, after years of abuse, it was still hard for him to not have a tiny bit of fear in physical gestures. The sound of coughing caught his attention and he looked over Gaby's shoulders to see an annoyed Lilith who had a pout on her face.
"What about me ?!" the young Succubus whined in jealousy as she looked at him, tapping her foot to show her displeasure at being ignored.
Rolling his eyes, Harry pulled himself away from Gabrielle's embrace (to which the young Griffon whined in disappointment) before approaching the Succubus to give her a hug.
"I'm happy to see you too Lilith..." he whispered softly to her in a gentle and apologetic tone…
Unaware of the pouting glare the Succubus was receiving from a certain Griffon. Lilith, however, ignored it as instead, she shot Gabrielle a taunting smirk that caused the latter to growl in slight jealousy and anger.
The Wurm, Edna, was looking at the scene with a smirk of his own as she understood what was going on : those little girls didn't know it but they claimed this young boy as their future husband !
"This little one is going to be one lucky young man in the future~" she thought to herself with a smirk.
Back to the children, Lilith pulled herself away from her human friend's embrace with a smile on her face.
"Come Harry ! The girls want to meet you !" the young Succubus told the young Wizard with an excited smile before gesturing to the girls in question to come closer.
Harry suddenly looked unsure as he looked at the approaching girls with hesitation. Until now, he only got to meet two people of his age : Gabrielle and Lilith. Even if they had been nice to him when they first met, he didn't know if these girls would be like his friends or if they would be mean like Dudley and his gang.
"Don't worry Harry… If they tried anything, I will protect you~" Gabrielle whispered into his ears as she pressed her cheek against his, making him blush at how close she was.
"Thank you..." he mouthed to the young Griffon who smiled warmly at him before pulling her face away from his.
Looking away from his friend, Harry's emerald eyes then landed on the four unknown girls who were now standing alongside Lilith , watching him.
"Harry… Allow me to present you some friends of ours : Cirila the Chimaera, Reina the Ryu, Pyralis the Wyvern and Hela the Hellhound ! Girls, this is the boy me and the feather-brain were talking about : Harry James Potter !" Lilith said as she used a hand to point at each girl present beside her.
"Hi..." Harry greeted them with a wave while trying his best to hide how nervous he was.
"Hello~" Reina said while looking at him with curiosity as a smile adorned her face.
"Yo..." Pyralis waved a wing in greeting, not showing any emotion on her face.
Cirila merely nodded her head, saying nothing but her eyes were still locked on him inquisitively.
The Hellhound stared at him up and down for a second before smirking toothily "Hello cutie~"
Hearing this, Harry blushed madly and turned his head away to hide his embarrassment… but sadly, all the girls saw it. In the exception of Cirila, some of the other girls started to coo teasingly at him, much to his embarrassment as his face turned even redder.
Heck, Edna the Wurm also also grinned in amusement at his shyness as it made him look even cuter !
"Alright girls that's enough teasing for now !" The Ryu, Reina, said to her friends after a moment with a somewhat stern expression on her face.
Lilith, Gabrielle, Hela and Pyralis nodded their heads in agreement… even if the Griffon and the Hellhound were pouting in disappointment at having their fun ruined. The Chimaera, Cirila, was still staring at him neutrally, not having said anything nor reacted at his embarrassed face.
Then she stepped forward, which caught everyone's attention, but she ignored it as her whole attention was focused on a certain dark haired child with emerald green eyes. Harry, however, became nervous once the girl in question stopped right in front of him with that straight face of hers.
"You are… interesting..." Cirila said calmly after an awkward silence.
Her tone was calm but had a strange hiss-like undertone.
"You are the first male human I heard that could speak the noble tongue..." the Chimaera added with a frown as her mismatched eyes narrowed at him, as if scrutinizing him.
"Which is something rather intriguing as only Serpents or Serpent related can speak it..." she said next but her tone was different this time.
Her voice now sounded more powerful and noble… He was about to ask her about it but didn't have the time as she spoke again.
"Why should we care about that ? I mean, yes it's strange that he could speak the Great Tongue but still ! Look at him ! He doesn't look much !" The Chimaera's voice ,once again, changed and in fact sounded more arrogant and haughty.
"Please don't be so mean to him !" Again with the change of tone and this time, she had a nice and comforting voice.
Harry's head spun at the different tones and voices and looked sideway at his friends as if asking 'Is she always like this ?'. Gabrielle and Hela snickered at his face while Lilith and Reina looked at him with sympathy. Pyralis, her, only rolled her eyes at the Chimaera in annoyance before shouting loudly
"CAN'T YOU STOP THIS, YOU IDIOT ?!"
The Chimaera blinked at the shout before looking over at them. Her mismatched eyes then landed on Harry and seeing the lac of surprise on his face, she frowned in confusion.
"Aren't you surprised by… well what just happened ?" Cirila asked him in a gentle and comforting tone.
"Not really, I read in a book that Chimaeras had multiple personalities… but I'm curious of who is who actually..." he responded with sincerity.
"Well… I'm the Goat...Its a pleasure to meet you by the way~" the gentle voice answered him.
"I'm the Ssssssnake...Honored to meet you, young Speaker… " the calm voice with hiss-like undertone took over.
" I'm the Dragon… It's an honor to finally meet you, Harry James Potter..." the noble and powerful voice from earlier followed suit.
After those words were said, a long silence followed until Cirila changed personality again. She now had a sneer of annoyance on her face as she looked at Harry.
"Tsk fine ! I'm the Lion… pleasure to meet you I guess..." the arrogant voice said with a shrug.
"Hum… It's a pleasure to meet you too but how should I call you ?" Harry asked the Chimaera with some curiosity and confusion.
Shouting a brief glare toward the clearly amused girls around her, the Chimaera took a deep breath before answering
"Well…We're collectively call Cirila but you can refer us as Cirila one through four...I will be the first..." The Dragon's side said in her powerful but calm tone.
"I will be Cirila 2 !" the Lion barked out with a huff.
"I will be Cirila 3 then..." the Goat stepped in with her gentle tone.
"Damn… Why do I have to be the fourth ?!" the Snake hissed in annoyance and slight disappointment that caused many to giggle in amusement.
"Now that introductions are done : Let's play !" Gabrielle cried out with excitement as she raised her fists in the air.
"YEAH !" Hela cheered in agreement to the Griffon's words.
Lilith and Reina glanced at one another with fond exasperation while Pyralis only grumbled something about 'annoying people'. Cirila, for her part, was merely nodded in agreement but still had her eyes focused on Harry. However, the young boy didn't noticed as he looked at his Griffon friend with a curious expression on his face.
"So what are we going to play ?" he asked them with a titled head.
Edna the Wurn smiled tenderly as the children started bickering about what type of games they should play. Her orange eyes trailed on Harry as the young boy was playing peacekeeper and she had to admit that the fact he cared for everyone equally despite having only met some of them impressed her.
However, the Wurm was also curious about the boy : while she knew he was Jaya's kitten now, she didn't know anything about his past and how could he talk the noblest of language. Shaking her head, Edna promised to have a talk with the Jinko the SECOND she come to get her child.
(To be continue…)
