Note to self: Don't bother predicting what you're about to write.

"You can guide Remus and Sirius around the city." The male guardian then changes his tone a bit as he looks at Dumbledore and Hagrid. "I need to talk with the others for some future matters."

"Don't scare them like how you did to the customers." Harry's sarcastic note causes the Candidates to chuckle, while the adult wizards awkwardly smile. He then stands up and calls: "Mister Sirius, mister Remus, I can show you the city of Planeptune."

"Ah… yes, we would follow. We will see you later, Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore." The Animagus and the Werewolf quickly bow to the others as their momentarily goodbye before joining Harry for another elevator ride.

"Why did you call yourself shameful?" After a few seconds of silence, the boy asks. "If my parents are that great, shouldn't you be proud that you are their friends?"

"It's…" Sirius looks at his eyes and answers. "It's our fault that they died. We were supposed to hide your family away, but we trusted the wrong person that…" His hands curl up into knuckles. "The bastard betrayed us and told You-know-who your old house..."

"…You mean Voldemort?" For a moment the wizards flinch a bit. "…Was I not supposed to say his name?"

"…His name casted fear for everyone in the Wizard World." Remus replies, trying to keep himself calm. "Ones who are brave enough to fight him… most don't come out unscratched."

"Is it that bad that you are fearing a name?" The duo's eyes nearly come out of the sockets when they hear a 10-year-old boy speaking like that. "I mean, yeah, he's a baddie. But that's just a name. If necessary, just give him a dumb nickname and then gang up on him."

Before any words come out next, the wizard of Black bloodline gives Harry a tight hug as a small tear comes out of the corner of his eyes. "James and Lily would be so proud of you." Sirius whispers, with Remus nodding behind him. He then lets the boy go and continues: "That would be ideal. But what he did to the Wizard World is just as bad as how Grindelwald affected the world, hell, he might be even crueler than him."

"And he has a lot of followers." The werewolf adds. "Combined with the Unforgivable Curses, it makes taking him down very hard... Until you stopped him."

That confused Harry. "I thought my parents…"

"They died protecting you, that's true. However, You-know… Voldemort only vanished after he attempted to kill you. How you survived, nobody actually knew including us." Sirius knows what the boy is about to ask so he answers instantly. "And that's how you become famous."

For a moment, nobody says a word as the young boy comprehends what he just said. The elevator then slows down a bit and then fully stops and the door opens…

"It's all in the past now." Harry then shrugs with a smile. "What I can do now is to not disappoint both my birth parents and my current ones."

Seeing how his godson reacts positively to the story makes the godfather smile as he pats the boy's back. "Now I'm glad you were raised here and instead by your mother's relatives. By the way, who are those girls with you earlier?"

"They are the sisters of the current CPUs."

"Can you explain more about this CPU stuff?" They start walking out of the Basilicom. "That girl… is her name really Mage?"

"MAGES.." Harry corrects him, though even he doesn't know what's different.

"…What's the difference?" The joke obviously doesn't work within a normal verbal conversation.

"Don't ask me, ask her. Anyway, they're basically people who's responsible in protecting the nations. One for each."

"Protecting a whole nation?" Sirius rubs his chin in doubt. They then stop before a traffic light as it turns red for the walkers. "Are you sure about that? We just saw someone in a knight armor walking around. And if I'm right, he's just as regular if not lower in rank than that Mage."

"There are armies and Hunters, but they can't deal with dimension-level dangers or things like Ancient Dragons, and that's where the CPUs come in. Other than that, they have to find a way to improve their own nation's technology while competing with each other."

"Sounds tough. Ministers being overworked." Sirius smirks as he window-shops some clothes stores. "Just curious, do you play any sports?"

"Skateboarding." When the bus arrives, Harry gestures them to join. Once the bus runs again, he continues: "Sometimes I do quests with the others to get some Credits for myself."

"You already work?" Another surprise as Remus gasps. "Isn't it a bit too soon?"

"It's not a permanent job, to me. The Guilds mostly provide material-gathering quests. Only when either Dad or Mom or their friends are with me would I take the monster-hunting ones."

"Why?"

"My STR is abysmal. AGI and INT keep me off danger but for some time before the monsters catch up."

"…What?" Both wizards ask, clearly not understanding what he just said.

"It means I can't punch or kick to save my life, and run-and-hit with magic works well for me."

"…You have a wand already?" Sirius then looks around the boy to see if he hides the wand in him.

"Uh… what are you looking for?"

"A wand. You need a wand to perform magic, yes?" He then notices some nearby passengers giggling. He guesses that's related to what he just asked. "Did I say something wrong?"

"…I would let others do the explanation." Harry shakes his head and shrugs. "To be honest, I just did magic on instinct."

"That… well, goes true for kids." Sirius accepts it. "By the way, those adopted parents of yours…"

"Can you help me setting up a date for them?"

"…What?"

…

"Ah, I'm full. Thanks for the meal, Harry. Remind me to repay you when we exchange the money."

"Don't worry Uncle Sirius. The one paying isn't me anyway."

After getting off the bus, Harry leads the wizards to a sport-equipment shop so he can pick up some items he left for maintenance. The adults had a chance to witness that the 'Muggles' are capable of making things similar to an Extension Spell when they see the young boy putting the items into his watch to their astonishments. They can even dare to say that it's more advanced when the boy pulled out his own credit card with just a simple gesture of his hand and the watch did its own work without a verbal command.

When it's done, the boy suggested to take a lunch since it is midday. He led them to a nearby restaurant and they all started chatting during the meal.

"I'm a bit surprised at how they rolled with it despite not having feelings towards each other." Remus wonders about what Harry told them about the guardians' relationship.

"They have 'good' friends…" Harry makes the quotation with his hands and a smirk. "That are trying to make them into a real couple. She's just embarrassed, and Dad is… well, Dad."

"Your Mom… can I call the guardians by the name?"

"Go ahead, Uncle Remus."

"Do you believe Kurome to have made amends to her mistakes?"

"I don't believe, I know so. Everyone else also agrees."

Sirius then looks around and leans close to Harry then whispers: "Hey, if by any chances, do you know how to cure curses?"

"Eh… may I ask what kind of curse?"

The Animagus glances at the werewolf, which makes the one sigh and replies: "You remembered when T.O talking about me being bitten?"

"…Oh. Oh that kind of curse…" Harry then shakes his head and replies: "I know some basic healing spells just to keep myself alive. And if I'm right, that one isn't solved with a wave of wand alone."

"That's right." Remus sighs again. "Not even our best wizards have the reversal, and I doubt the Muggles…"

"We can ask Com…" Harry stops right there and suddenly shivers. "…On second thought, maybe I will ask Dad. But then he won't do much…"

"Hey-o!" The front door of the restaurant opens in a comically forceful way, showing a certain young girl with purple hair standing there with her arms raising up in the air. The wizards lean back to have a clear look at her as she walks in and talks to a waiter: "A table for four, please!"

"Right, the regular CPU 'meeting'." Harry whispers as the wizards watch three more girls heading in and standing behind the purple-haired girl.

"…CPU? Them?" Sirius whispers back. The waiter starts leading the girls to an empty table. "You're not kidding, are you? They look just barely teenagers… well, except that green-dressed girl…"

"Believe me, each of them is older than the three of us combined." Harry then turns his head to the nearby window to try avoiding being detected by the Goddesses…

And he fails completely.

"Harry!" The purple-haired girl cheers up as she rubs his hair with the boy smiling in defeat. "Heading here first before us? Sneaky boy! Aren't you still playing with our sisters back in Basilicom?"

"I am…" He waits for the shake to stop before continuing. "…having guests here, Nep. My parents' friends."

The girl now notices the wizards leaning on their chairs while giving the group their smile. The girl narrows their eyes and leans closer to the duo a bit before asking: "Hm… Where are you from? Normally T.O or Kurome would call us first before…"

"My birth parents."

"…OH! No wonder!" She backs away with a surprised face. "I didn't expect that! Then again, I don't think T.O or Kurome has friends this old."

"Don't be rude!" The girl with black twin-tails smacks on her friend's head, causing her to yelp. "Sorry about this dork. She never knows where to stop."

"Pretty sure she won't learn." The seemingly eldest one in the group smiles as she introduces: "Good day dear sirs. My name is Vert, the CPU of Leanbox. That girl…" The purple-haired girl rubs her hand where she gets hit. "…is Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune, which is where we are now. The others…"

"I'm Noire, CPU of Lastation."

"And my name is Blanc, CPU of Lowee." The shortest girl with brown hair introduces last. She then looks up and down at Remus then turns her head away for a moment…

"Oh please don't add anything weird in your story." Harry chuckles when he sees a bit of pink appears on the girl's cheek. "Anyway, they are Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." The two wizards stand up and bow lightly to the group before returning to their seats. "The Headmaster of Hogwarts School came here to give me the invitation to study in his school, and the two uncles here are worried for my health."

"Just to know beforehand, Croire said nothing to you two, correct?" The wizards nod at Noire's question. "Even his parents… can I even call T.O and Kurome that at this point?"

"I doubt James and Lily object." Sirius shrugs. "They seem to raise Harry pretty well."

"Too well, in fact." Subduing the pinkness, the 'fiction writer' returns to the conversation. "Despite his age, he's smarter than normal kids his age. Unfortunately, he's more fragile than others."

"He's a protagonist, so he's fineeee!" The two wizards glance at a certain CPU in confusion. "He would be a glass-cannon just like IF!"

"He's closer to MAGES. than her." Vert then giggles seeing Sirius and Remus blinking. "Sorry, it would be a bit hard for you to understand if you're not around here long enough."

"We… we see."

"Anyway, we're leaving." Harry says, and the wizards quickly follow. "I will see you later… or after a year."

"…What do you mean?" Neptune asks back but earns no answers as the adults also says their goodbyes. "Hey, The Creator? Where is he going?"

Ask Kurome.

"Oh come on!"

"They are… wild." Sirius rubs his neck as they pass a game shop. It's an hour after the 'meeting' with the CPUs, and Harry has shown them a lot of shops being the Muggle version of what in Diagon Alley. "No disrespect, but how are they the ones protecting the nations?"

"Like Vert said before." Harry then notices a certain white-bearded old man and a certain Half-Giant heading to them with his parents leading them. "Ah, looks like they're finished."

When the two groups join into one, Sirius asks Dumbledore: "What have you been talking, Professor?"

"Ah, just some business with the couple." The Headmaster's eyes slightly harden for a tick before relaxing, but that's enough for both wizards to know something's wrong. Harry, however, is not aware of it as he's talking with his guardians. "And the meal's good."

"That's something we can agree." Remus nods in agreement. "So where are we going to head next?"

"To a nearby dungeon." The Gamekeeper replies. "That's how they called the places where the 'bad' monsters are."

"Is it about those quests thing?" Sirius has learnt more about the dungeons during the lunch, and that there are occasional dangerous monsters being spawned for no reasons, and needed to be dealt with as quickly as possible.

"Not only that…" Patting Harry again, Kurome joins the conversation. "He likes running around there more than in the city."

"Running around where monsters are?" Hagrid turns to the boy who scratches his head sheepishly. "James was not crazy enough to run around the Forbidden Forest in your age. And neither was Lily."

"Blame her twin on the idea of 'coolness'." T.O simply says and points his thumb to the only girl in the group, and she pulls out a headphone out of nowhere and whacks him on the head while wearing a red-face. "Also, I would like to check how your spells apply in this world."

"Isn't it just magic?"

"It runs a bit different here. Now…"

Before any of the wizards could say anything further, the city around them suddenly changes into a forest in a blink of an eye. That causes the wizards to look around in surprise as Sirius voices it out: "What just happened?"

"Apparition, or to us, Teleportation. We're currently near the back of the Virtua Forest." Kurome replies, being used to the instant teleportation. "The monsters here are mostly vulnerable to magic, and some are slow… and here he goes again."

After a facepalm follows the sound of something *WHOOSH* away. The adults turn to see The-Boy-Who-Lived now riding on a floating board and rushing into the forest by himself, causing some startled monsters to jump out of the way, though they quickly fire back at him for 'being rude' and for intrusion.

"…This happened often?" Remus, learning that Harry likes speed, asks in concern.

"The moment we allowed him to." T.O sighs. "If I have to guess, James' Quidditch hobby has imprinted in Harry's blood."

"Another thing for him to be proud of, then!" Sirius laughs, the worry disappears.

"I'm more worried if he drags something back to us. Something like…" A loud roar echoes through the forest. Kurome turns to the other guardian and narrows her eyes: "That thing's still pissed, isn't it?"

"Something we should know to avoid?" The wizards start drawing their wands as Dumbledore asks in caution.

"Just an Ancient Fenrir." That nonchalant answer from T.O makes them widen their eyes in surprise. "He prefers sleeping, but would attack anything that decides to disturb him enough."

"And who provoked it last time?"

"Who else other than Harry? He accidentally ran over its tail."

"…I saw that board floating." Hagrid comments in confusion.

"Sometimes he prefers using the one with wheels." T.O replies.

"…Should we be worried?" Remus says, both for Harry's sake, and for their own as he notices some monsters heading to them.

"Harry's fine. We do need to scold him later though if that Fenrir heads to us, again." T.O and Kurome then stands aside so the wizards' wands can aim at the monsters. "Try testing your spells on them."

"Alright, let's see…" Sirius walks forward and points his wand to a pink Dogoo and shouts: "Stupefy!" A red-lighted beam fires out from his wand and hits the thing. However, while the wizards expect the monster to stop moving completely, it only stops in its original spot while wriggling left and right. "…That's… only half of the effect?"

"That's a Stun spell, I take it? And…" Kurome checks the HP of the monsters (that the wizards can't see). "…It can't even reduce a percent of its vitality."

"You can't be serious!" Remus is surprised at how little Stupefy can do. He points to a plant nearby and shouts: "Confringo!" A fire explodes in front of it, knocking it back. There are some fires in its petals. "Alright, maybe that works…"

"Ten percent." The color on his face drains away as the male guardian announces. "However, I can't blame you. It can increase its magic resistance. At least you managed to set it on fire." The flower then runs away in panic. "At least its fear of fire is there."

"…How can one resistance to magic can actually be set on fire?" Dumbledore can't understand the logic. "If magic is not effective…"

"In this world…" Kurome replies as a robot slowly aims its cannons at the group. "Unless you have immunity, any ailments can be inflicted no matter the chance."

The monster then fires a shot towards the group, though T.O sees it coming and hits the shot off the group and hits the nearby tree, freezing parts of it. "And you're going to need something more than Protego to protect hits from them."

"What about the… uh, never mind." Hagrid plans to say something, but decides to shut his mouth.

Dumbledore tries the Confringo again when he sees a big bird running towards them. The spell hits, though it seems to only anger the monster. To the wizards' surprise, its feather turns into red-purple-theme, and from its beak, a huge blast of wind emerges and fires towards the group. Taking cautious of the guardian's warning, the three normal wizards utilize Protego with more magic after it, while Hagrid pulls out his umbrella and opens it to act as a physical shield. Luckily to them, the wind only manages to destroy the spell and parts of the umbrella, and no further damage is done.

"That's… a surprise." Kurome speaks up. "You aren't even knocked back a bit."

"It… it wasn't supposed to be that strong… right?" Hagrid asks in concern as the bird glares at them in anger that it couldn't do anything to them. His arm slightly shakes due to the force of the attack.

"If it's in Viral state, then it's a different story." The girl cracks her knuckles and continues. "I think that's enough for you to know. I will handle things from here."

Dumbledore wants to protest, but he then remembers the conversation between them and the guardian duo after Harry left with Sirius and Remus, and how they appeared in their seats completely undetected. He decides to agree: "Very well. Then…"

Another loud roar, and this time it's followed by trees falling down. T.O facepalms, and Kurome rubs her eyes, both then sigh. "Can you…"

"I will. Keep the wizards off danger."

The male guardian then disappears in front of the wizards, no vocal words, no visual/sound or a move of hand signified he even performed an Apparition. Even the old Headmaster himself is taken aback that he can't even track down any signs of whatever he just did to do that seemingly perfect Apparition.

They then look at the female guardian to see her grabbing the stunned slime ball and throwing it directly at the Viral bird's face then kicking the avian to the robot, knocking them out of her way. More start appearing, and their aim is primarily on Kurome. The girl raises her right arm up and prepares a gesture of punching down, which confuses the wizards a bit, until she actually does so. A crack of space appears, similar to the one they witnessed in the HQ of the Order, and this time a whole enormous knuckle emerges and punches the group of monsters, squashing them instantly.

"The Dark CPU." Dumbledore says as the group watches the girl beating the monsters up. "She's the one controlling the enormous deities from different dimensions. How she does so is… not told to me and Hagrid."

"So 'the one who can destroy Earth' is her?" Sirius asks back as Kurome swings her megaphone towards a cat-monster and swats it away. "Then that guy would be the one withstanding the Killing Curse. But how?"

"In his exact word: 'Those who knows not of true life will not know of true death'."

A bit later, a part of the forest suddenly lights up as thunder sparks emit from ground and shoot straight to the sky, creating a massive hole through the clouds. That causes the rest of the monsters tense up before running away from the girl, and from whatever caused those sparks. "Spoilsports." Kurome pouts as she throws the megaphone into her pocket dimension. She then turns her head to the direction of the previous attack, and sees T.O picking Harry up by his shirt collar while the boy smiles awkwardly. "Having fun poking that Fenrir?"

"He dragged a Heavy Dragoon and a Nihil into the mix." The male guardian then drops the boy down on his feet. "Don't push your luck Harry. Even the CPUs are wary of fighting them."

"But I can still outrun them, right?"

"You are not wrong." T.O sighs and the boy giggles. "Don't follow your uncle's footsteps, please. Even he doesn't go around and mess with people he knows he shouldn't…"

"Unless it is you two." That causes his cheeks to be pinched by his embarrassed adopt mother.

That exchange makes the wizards silently smile as they see the boy playing around his family happily and not confined by his destiny. And it seems that being raised in a more advanced world has given him some boosts in magic power as well. However, they're currently in a dangerous area (to them) so Dumbledore calls them: "I believe that's a good demonstration of what your world offers. However, may I ask to pick a different place to talk further?"

"It is the plan." Kurome nods. "Although, where could we talk without drawing attentions?"

"Since when are we not drawing attentions?" T.O counters. "We can head to the nation's library, though. The usual table would at least avoid others from trying to talk to us."

"I don't think normal citizens would dare interrupting conversation of some higher-ups." Remus reasons.

"You have no ideas."

"It's just the first day meeting them, and you can't sleep already?" The male guardian jokes as he walks to the balcony of their 'home' and sees his 'partner' gazing the moon on the sky.

"…You are partially blamed for that." To his amusement, the girl doesn't react as drastically as he expected. "So we are heading to the place called Diagon Alley tomorrow… do I need to know something before I mow down any bad guys before my face?"

"While I myself have no problems, doing so might get Harry some bad reputation." His smile, however, disappears as he says the next words. "There are points of time we can interfere, and those which can't be stopped. If you can't handle it, then I will carry the burdens. From this point…"

"You know damn well I'm not going to neglect the responsibility mid-way."

"I do… You can at least be at ease that we haven't lied to him, yet." Standing next to her, T.O gently runs his finger on her left cheek, causing her to slightly blush up. "It's a bit of shame that I am the one supervising you instead of someone else. You might have a better life than this."

"Better? You are kidding." Kurome turns her face away so her skin stops touching his. "Who can be better…"

"Umio." That makes the girl flinch in embarrassment. "To be honest, I didn't even notice our similarities until we started raising Harry. You probably…"

"Umio is Umio, you are you… Can you stop changing topics whenever the atmosphere turns serious?"

"…Not when my personality comes from him."

"Dad and Mom are flirting."

"I BLAME YOU FOR TEACHING HIM THAT!"

The male guardian leans on the bar of the balcony as the next second his 'partner' starts chasing the boy inside the house, the sounds of things being moved harshly around is just music to his ears.

Though…

"…Let us see what will change because of our interferences… Croire."

"Whatever it might be, it will be interesting."
