Chapter 19 The Midnight Hound
Before the Court Session concluded, Loona, Harry, Charlie, and Lute returned to Hell. Lily and James requested time with their son from Sera.
"Sera, could you please have them stay until the evening so James and I can have a conversation with our son?" Lily asked before Harry departed to the portal with Loona and Lute in tow.
"The head Seraphim, I can permit you to remain until midnight, but then you must return to Hell. I would like to have a conversation with both of you in person as I would like to offer you a job, but they will have departed by then," she declared,
Harry gazed at the portal, observing Stolas Manor and the typical dark red sky in Hell beyond.
Was it really that late in Hell already, Harry thought. Time must go quicker in Hell. Maybe I'll have to ask Stolas about the time flow between Earth and Hell.
Loona overheard Harry's parents talking to the head Seraphim and then nudged Harry to grab his attention. She observed his parents walking towards them. When Loona nudged Harry, she placed her hand on his shoulder to give him a push.
She never knew her parents and she was still figuring it all out. She now had a husband and knowing that he only had his parents for the first 15 months of his life told her that he went through the same thing as her. Her life had cartwheeled out of control and she had landed in the pound and was then adopted by Blitz as a young adult. Her life was full of abuse and hardships and without anyone to turn to. She normally stared at the bottom of a bottle, very often in fact. Loona forced a smile, it was her new inlaws so she was going to be a part of her life.
"Harry, we are interested in knowing more about your Human life before going to Hell. We would like to spend time with you if you're willing?" Lily asked her son, her hand resting on his shoulder.
Harry felt her hand and turned towards her with his eyes glowing and meeting hers.
"I don't feel wanted here, but I would like to become more acquainted with you and dad. I'll conduct myself appropriately here," Harry remarked, gazing up at Sera who signaled her approval.
"But Sera, he's a sinner and should depart immediately!" Lute yelled. Her protest was met with indifference from Sera and the others.
"I'll ensure their departure on time," Emily declared, as she desired extra time with Charlie to inquire about Vaggie's well-being.
"Emily, they must depart by the end of the day," Sera instructed, ensuring no harm was done and offering assistance if needed. Once done, you may go." Sera departed to her office in the same building.
"So, what do you want to do? I'll be your guide for the rest of the day." Emily said with a smile.
Loona looked at Harry. She didn't seem like she wanted to stay that long and she would have to tell Blitzo about their little trip to Heaven after it. Normally after this kind of stress, she would need a cigarette to smoke but with this bond with Harry had made her forget about the packet in her pocket. It seems she was getting healthy again. She knew that in her upbringing she was in contact with someone with a sexual virus and didn't know if that was also being removed from her.
She really liked the magic that Harry gave her, maybe it was so old. That old goat. She thought out loud.
Harry obviously heard Loona's thought.
"What do you mean with that Loona? ", Harry asked.
"Nothing, I was thinking about that old goat." She said sheepishly.
"You mean Dumbledore ?", Lily stated and immediately knew who was mentioned.
Loona nodded.
James interrupted. "Do you mind if we start moving? How about grabbing a bite to eat and we can pick up this conversation at the dinner table. So where would you like to go for dinner?"
Lily thought it too was a good idea and the portal closes. Harry gestures for them to lead the way. Loona walked next to Harry. Lute, still bound, was following both Hounds. Charlie also stayed with them, she wanted to catch up with Emily and didn't want their freshly new Sins to make any trouble in heaven.
Because Heaven was one major city and was based on the clouds in the sky it was very clean and bright. James was leading the way to their favorite restaurant that a renowned old Italian family line owned.
While walking around Heaven Harry's and Loona's eyes always looked at all of the people who gave them stares and wondered why there are Hellhounds in Heaven.
Some even just made a run for it because of their fear of demons.
It was also Sir Pentious following them, he was a redeemed Sinner and he wanted to know how things have been in Hell.
James, Lily, Charlie, Lute, Harry, and Loona entered the establishment. Harry read the name of the restaurant called La Tonase owned by Luigi Tonase, a cook from the eighteenth century.
"Ahh, James, How have you been? For two again or four? ", asked Luigi as they came here on a regular basis. The food was good here. The restaurant was busy and many of the good people were eating or talking about their former lives. The waiters walked around serving drinks and food. A good old restaurant with a modern setting with someone playing the piano in the background. The soft notes ringing out in harmony.
"No, not today Luigi. We'll need a bigger table, maybe some more private ones if possible." James said.
"Why, somewhere more…", He saw Loona, Charlie, Lute, Harry, Emily, and Lily standing in the doorway.
Some people's heads turned to see the commotion and some screams were heard in seeing the Hellhounds.
"Are they with you? And why are they here ?". Luigi asked in pointing at Harry and Loona.
He could understand that Lucifer's daughter was a part of heaven even if Lucifer was a fallen angel.
"Well, you see that is my son and his wife. It's a long story. I'll gladly explain it another time. Do you have a booth open for our group ?"James asked.
It already had annoyed Loona and Harry in the owner's reaction. But what would they expect?
Further away a customer asked the waitress to make sure that to keep the flea-ridden mutts away from them. In which was passed along with a smile from the waitress and she continued in doing her job.
"Yeah, follow me." Luigi guided the group to a private booth for them to eat in.
"So what's with them ?", Luigi asked.
"Well, this is Harry, he is my son and this is Loona Azazel, his wife. They had recently bonded on earth and they are one of the sins of Hell. Basically royalty in Hell." Lily said.
"Nice to see you again Lily, really a sin. Never thought of meeting one in heaven." Luigi didn't hold anything against meeting anyone who wasn't a local. He in life was a humble person responsible and respected for his craft as a restaurant owner and had built his family's legacy in Italy to be a Michelin star restaurant from when he had started it until his grandson who was running the empire in Rome, Italy.
"So, Harry, how's Hell treating ya ?"Luigi asked Harry.
Luigi wasn't intimidated by Harry's physic or how he looked in general. He hands out the menus to his guests.
"It's not as nice as here but I haven't seen our ring yet. At the moment I live in the pride ring with Loona and her adopted father." Harry said with a look to Loona. Luigi followed Harry's gaze to Loona. Seeing the pretty female Hellhound that Luigi acknowledged.
Lute also was listening in on the conversation. She hadn't tried to get away and seeing that Sera had agreed on the Sins' terms, maybe it was Sera's plan to find their weakness and find a way to get rid of them. They were representatives of a Sin that was ruthless and had a bloodlust to kill.
Luigi gave them a booth far away. Harry's eyes wandered around the establishment. The restaurant was stylish eighteenth century and gave them menus to select the food and drinks they wanted.
Lute sat between Emily and Charlie with Harry And Loona on the side With Charlie and James and Lily on the side with Emily across.
"So, Harry how many friends do or did you have while at Hogwarts?", James asked.
Harry thought of the true friends he had. "Not many. Just a handful, one of them a muggle-born witch. The Weasley twins Fred and George, they are in their third year as I came to Hogwarts." Loona already knew Harry's school adventures with the stuttering Professor and the killer snake. Harry left out Ron and Ginny because he found out that they were after his money like their mother.
"How did my sister or Petunia treat you, Harry?", Lily asked. They have asked it earlier, but now Harry could answer without hesitation.
"She and her whale of a husband treated me worse than a house elf. I was a slave to all the chores in the house and if I didn't do it well enough. I was held underneath in The cupboard under the stairs. It contained a light and a worn out blanket with a thin mattress. With a padlock so I couldn't get out when punished." Harry said with a snarl. Lily had reared back with her head
seeing Harry's sharp white canine teeth. James also looked at Harry's snarl but understood his anger.
"And if they land in Hell. I'll be waiting for them to torment them like they had as I lived with them." Harry said with his anger leaving him as Loona's hand had moved to hold his.
Lily and James wanted to know more about Loona. She was now part of the family.
"Loona, what about you? Do you have parents?", Lily asked.
Loona breathed out and answered to her mother-in-law. She had accepted that they could talk openly to James and Lily. "I never met them. I was abandoned at a pound in Hell to fend for myself until my 18th birthday until my adopted father, Blitzo, signed the papers. Before I met Harry I was a complete mess and I still am."
Lily and James looked at her in pity. "Don't look like that to me. I have been noticing changes with my attitude and body that is healing from the soul bond. And I'm genuinely happy to have met Harry. It also makes me have more of an anchor point to not overreact at things that annoy me."
They opened the menu of the restaurant and Harry and Loona looked at it with Charlie.
Charlie and Emily had their own conversation and even Lute was listening in on Harry's and Loona's story and was getting an idea of who her captors were and was feeling regret for trying to hurt them. But it disappeared rather quickly.
A waitress came up to take their orders.
Harry was going through the options. Hmm, Pici all'Aglione Spaghetti, Cacio e Pepe, Pasta al Tonno, Spaghetti or Aglio Olio e Peperoncino. What to choose, all of them sound good. He knew most of them because he had to cook at the Dursleys.
"We will have the usual," Lily and James said.
Harry looks at Loona. Loona was uncertain what to eat. How about we split a meal between us, Loona. Harry sent his thought towards her.
Loona agreed and Harry ordered. "Yes that would be fine, we can eat something in Hell later. So what do you want to share?".
"Can we have Spaghetti al Tonno. Make it a big portion if possible. We'll be sharing it." Harry told the waitress who was waiting patiently for their order.
Do you want something to drink with the food?" waitress asked. Lily and James went for red wine. Harry looks at Loona and agrees to have the same with his parents because of their limited time in heaven.
She left to give the orders to the cooks and in a couple of minutes came back with seven wine glasses and a jug of red wine to pour into the separate glasses. The waiters were also mainly Italians also familiar with Luigi Tonase family business and used to work for him on earth and were happy to work with a caring and fair boss again. The Establishment was renowned for their classic Italian dishes and pasta along with the wines. In heaven all was at an affordable price.
Even in heaven, you had to work but prices were incredibly low and pay was average so people could afford a lot of things.
A couple of minutes later she returned to bring the wine glasses and the jug of wine. She pours and puts the glasses out to everybody.
James took a sip of wine and said that it was good. Within the next half hour their food will arrive.
But before the meal could arrive Loonas phone rang with the distinct barking Ringtone and she pulls it out and it was Blitzo.
Lily and James saw it and so did Charlie and Lute. Loonas eyes widened and looked at Harry.
"I need to answer this. Do you mind?" Loona said.
"Hey Loony, where are you with your mate?! Because you're not at Stolas Manor because he told me that Miss Morningstar took you somewhere that she hadn't disclosed to him."
Blitzo's voice held worry and anger at her for not telling him where she was going. Lily and James heard it and felt the worry of Blitzo.
"Da-, ergh Blitz, why Can't you just let me be alone with my mate for a day! We didn't or couldn't tell anyone because it was a last-minute thing. I'll tell you later because right now I don't have time to explain everything to you!", Loona snarls down the phone with her ears up in anger.
Lily saw the fire in Loonas eyes. She could remember being like her in her youth at Hogwarts, always trying to be independent from everyone else.
"Loona, let me handle it." Miss Morningstar said holding out her hand so Loona gave her phone to her.
"LOONA, you will tell me where you are because you are so…".
"Is this Blitzo, hello I'm Charlie Morningstar talking here." She said over the shouting of Blitzo through the phone.
"... oh, hey your Highness. Where is my adopted daughter ?". Blitzo finished.
"Well, you see I was called into Heaven with Harry and Loona because of Harry's Parents being Accused of working with my Father Lucifer. We cleaned their names and now we'll Be back at Midnight in Hell. We are having dinner and with my protection, nothing should happen to them. So she will be calling you later to pick her up. Right now we are holding a conversation between Harry and his parents. I'll make sure they will be back in Hell in no time."
"Wait, wait a minute you are….!" Charlie ends the call and gestures that the conversation continues.
The food arrived and there was a large plate between Harry and Loona with cutlery and Harry let Loona take the first bite of the food while he went for the olive bread.
Using the fork to fork up the spaghetti and ate the first bite of the pasta dish. Loonas eyes widened in the great flavors that she tastes, sure she was raised in Hell, but food in Hell was still as good. But not as good quality as here in heaven.
Harry also tasted it and began to eat more of it. With the long Spaghetti and the red wine it went down well.
"This is good." Loona said, trying not to Make a mess on her clothes and fur so was Harry too.
Harry enjoyed the wine and he thought it would be some time after this before he could see his parents again.
In the meantime at Blood Moon Castle The castle on the mountain range was getting ready for the Lord and Lady to return. All of the dust and covers for the furniture was being removed from the castle servants and all was being cleaned and brought up to date.
The books in the masters study were being cleaned. They held rituals, transfiguration spells, potions, and summoning spells in the darkest magic to use on anyone.
Hounds that were serving others in Hell were being summoned to the new Ring. Under them was a Hellhound named Vortex that worked for Verosika.
What Vortex didn't know of his family line was that they had sworn their allegiance to house Azazel as a soldier to train the new recruitment of hunters for evil in the human world. And he was being pulled to Blood Moon Castle to fulfill his oath to the Sin.
There was a thunder storm raging in the Ring of Fury. The rain was pouring down on the roof and the water ran down into the drain.
The Castle Guards were on their defensive positions and those who swore an oath were put in separate rooms as a welcome. If anyone didn't renew his oath would be executed the following morning.
The next thing that would happen was the pounds would be disbanded but it would come late after Harry and Loona had met the council.
Back with Harry and Loona with Parents
Harry had taken a bite from a long spaghetti and without noticing he was slurping it up with Loona and eventually his and her nose had met and he gave her Nose a lick with his tongue. It was a quick kiss to her as he blushed. Loona was taken back by Harry's lick to her nose and also returned the favor by seeing some tomato sauce on his cheek.
And he kisses Loona while holding his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to him. Lily and James smiled at Harry's affections to Loona. They saw the love between them.
Lute had seen it too. She didn't find it cute but didn't know that demons had feelings or Hellborn like Loona. Maybe it was because she was always killing Sinners and not the creatures that live in Hell. There's always more Sinners to kill than the demons born in Hell.
Lucifer had created seven or eight Sins and gave each a ring to live in.
Loona looked at Harry and felt truly loved at the moment with a tingle in her nethers and wanted to get back home. She wants to kiss him in private and show Harry some more of body.
"I hope I won't be a grandma soon with the looks Loona is giving Harry." Lily whispered to James, forgetting the superior hearing of Harry and Loona. They both blushed And turned to look at them.
"I don't think I'm ready for that yet. But if it does happen in future I hope I can meet them." James said.
"I think it's time to get going now. It is near eleven o'clock in the evening. And we have to get back to Hell." Charlie Said.
"Well, I'll pay for the meal." Emily said as she pulled out her credit card. It said Golden Heaven Express Bank.
"Was the food good? ", Luigi asked as he made his way back to the private booth.
"Yes, very good. Thank you for asking." Harry and Loona said.
They made their way towards the entrance and headed outside into the calm night of Heaven.
"Well," Harry said, giving his parents a hug and stepping back. "I hope to see you soon and it was nice to finally meet you two. I always heard from the Professor's Stories from Them about your mischief at Hogwarts."
Loona also gave them a handshake and A good bye. What she didn't expect was a hug from Lily and James. It made her freeze because she wasn't a person for hugs. And eventually hugged them back as she looked at Harry.
"May I try opening a portal?," Harry asked. As he focused on home and opened one accidentally underneath him and Loona as she had stepped away.
They fell through and landed in the dining of the ballroom of Blood Moon Castle. With the soft rumble of the storm that had already moved on to Moon City.
"Harry, where did you take us ?"Loona asked. Charlie also looked around with Lute and was curious and scared. She was unarmed and bound with her hands behind her back still she hadn't had anything to eat.
The candles lit themselves and a servant walked out of the shadows.
"My Lord and Lady welcome to Blood Moon Castle. I'm your butler, Sven. I'll be taking care of your needs." Sven said. He was a Golden Retriever Hound.
Harry remembered what Stolas had told them they were a Sin basically royalty in Hell. He had teleported them to his and Loona's Castle or family Manor like Stolas had.
"Okay, it's nice to meet you, Sven. Is It possible to show us our bedroom and put Lute in a prison cell for the night? Make it one of the better ones." Harry had some knowledge from The castle because of the grimoire he had accepted from Lucifer that gave him an insight of where they were.
"Yes, my Lord. Guards take their prisoner away and unspoilt. Please follow me to your accommodations." Sven turns and starts to walk through the castle to the grand staircase and to Harry's and Loona's bedroom.
Lute didn't have a choice but to follow or be pushed by the guards to the basement of the castle. She saw the prison cell that had a bed mounted to the wall and a toilet Cubicle with a sink in the corner of the cell. Her hands were released and she walked over to the bed and it was soft
enough to sleep on. There was a window and it overlooked the valley with a dense forest with a cloak sky with a bit of moonlight getting through the rain.
Back with Harry, Loona, and Charlie Morningstar. Sven had guided them to their Bedroom and two guards opened the doors to the room.
Harry turns to Charlie. "Do you want to stay the evening or do you have to get back to your Hotel, Charlie?."
"I think Vaggie could look After the Hotel for an evening so if you have a spare room I'll be grateful to stay the night.
"My Lord and Lady, here is your accommodation. Breakfast is served at nine o'clock and the council will be waiting at ten in the conference room across from the ballroom. I'll be waiting here to guide you. Good night." He left them.
Harry and Loona looked at Sven as he left and vanished around the corner. They entered and saw a king-sized bed with enough room for at least four hellhounds.
It had a bathroom connected to the bedroom. They heard the doors shut behind them gently.
There were cupboards full of clothes ranging from medieval to modern with jewelry for female Hellhounds and more than enough adult toys. Loona looked for a night dress to wear with her typical gothic style and she found something she knew Harry would appreciate while looking at her.
Harry was looking at his section of clothes and was happy for the new clothes and the stylish of them.
He was still thinking of that kiss he had given Loona and her response to it. It was great to see her opening up and he still didn't know what she had meant by showing him some more of her body.
Loona had made her way into the bathroom and saw It had a jacuzzi tub in it and all other luxury items. She got out of her clothes to pull some pantys and a bra underneath her night shirt. She was going to take it off anyways in a couple of minutes. Her nice firm breasts roughly c-cup in size with a firmness and big nipples that completed them.
Harry was already dropping his clothes into the washing basket. And stood in front of the mirror. He physic had been developing slowly to a nice fit figure. He made his way to his side of the bed and mobed covers to lie Down and waited for Loona to return. He heard the door open from the bathroom and Loona stepped out and turns the light off from the bathroom. The light next to Harry was still on.
She made her way to her side and moved the cover away and moved to straddle Harry as she sat down on top of him.
"Errr, Loona, what are you doing?", Harry asked nervously at her. Loona held up a finger to Harry's nose and her other hand opened her Hair. She removed her finger and pulled off her nightshirt. To reveal her toned and slim body with her breast insight for Harry.
She was holding down both of Harry's hands so he couldn't touch her breast.
"I told you I would let you see a bit more of me. So how's the view, Harry? ", she said as she bent down towards him with a couple of centimeters between their snouts.
She felt a positive response from Harry's privates that she liked. And laced down on top of him.
She let him pull the covers on top of them and let sleep claim them. They had another long day before them tomorrow.
