History Strongest Magister Harry: Year 2

Chapter 1: Summer

A black hair ponytail green eye teen was dodging on coming spells and metallic objects. In front of the teen stood a large burly man with a smile the Joker of Gotham would be proud off. Next to the burly man stood his Sensei. He'd grown to be a tall figure and his skills haven't diminished one bit. Then there was a blond hair girl flying around with a doll next to her.

"Gotcha!" The burly man bellow while leaping off a cliff towards his opponent and summoning a semi truck sized sword.

"Magista!" The teen chants and his entire body was envelope in blue aura.

The gigantic sword crashed down where the teen ones stood and decimated the entire mountainside. The dark skin man floats above the ruins and peer around wondering where his prey was. Suddenly through the dusk cloud shot out chains warping themselves around the opponents. In on quick move the chains pull the burly man down to the ground.

"It!" The black hair boy said standing over the burly man.

"Dammit! Harry! I don't want to do the dishes!" The Dark hair man bellow and cry like a baby.

"A deals a deal Rakan-san!" Harry said releasing the man who grumbled while getting up and he made his way towards a palace overlooking a waterfall.

"Good job Kousaka-san," the red hair teen said floating down towards Harry.

"Arigato gozaimasu Negi-sensei," Harry said bowing to the man who taught him of magic.

A few weeks after school got out and Harry came back to Japan. He was thrown into battle after battle. Some of those battles had him bedridden for days. Apparently his sensei didn't like to hear Harry losing in a battle and at the same time it showed how far he has to go before he could fight someone that powerful. Evangeline-sensei was a level of her own and she could easily take him out without even batting an eyelash. Negi-sensei wasn't too far from his previous master's level. They were powerful beings that had taken down massive armies with just a dozen allies.

Harry and Negi-sensei argued and dispute about the possibility that he had battled with Voldemort. At the same time Negi-sensei studied the Unicorn Branch with gusto. The number of test rang from magic, to purposely damaging it and so on. When Harry gotten the branch back Negi-sensei suggested making it into a battle wand although Harry had refused until he chooses what kind of Magister he wants to be. Then there was the fake Philosopher Stone and Negi-sensei arrived with the same conclusion as his student. The ordeal in the Forbidden Corridor was retold to the point where Harry saw his mistakes and thought of several ways, better ways, to defeat the Spirited Voldemort. Though the stone did give off a hint of magic that Eva-sensei sensed and only those who were tuned to magic. Harry being young and still inexperienced was a given. Now the stone rest in a vault within Mahora and being examined by Mahora's top researcher because Eva stated that it gives off a millionth percent of the real Philosopher stone's power.

Harry felt more at home now that he's back at Mahora and it was better when it's Japan.

"Are you going to return home Kousaka-san?" Negi sensei asks seeing the young teen's eyes glazed over. "I see, not ready yet huh?"

"How can I face my parents when I've been defeated?" Harry asks softly.

"OYE! GAKI! Get your butt outta here!" The long blond hair girl screeches all the while grabbing Harry by the scarf and tosses him towards huge runic circles that lights up when Harry was over the circle his body vanished.

"Do you think that was wise Eva-sensei?" Negi asks the blonde.

"He's just stubborn and needs a nudge," Eva nonchalantly said and even though her attitude showed that she could careless, Negi knew better.

Outside a miniature magical jar Harry appears crashing to the floor. He grumbly got up and stares at the glass jar that housed the magical resort Evangeline-sensei uses. Harry brushes the dirt off of is body and knew that if he goes back in there he would be in deep trouble. So taking his sensei's advice he made his way out the door.

"Oh, hello Chachamaru-san," Harry said spotting the green hair girl in a traditional flower yukata.

"Good Afternoon, Kousaka-san," Chachamaru said bowing to Harry, "Anything I can help you with today Harry-san?"

"Nothing at the moment but thank you Chachamaru-san," Harry kindly reply and headed out the door.

Mahora hasn't change one bit and it stills a marvelous place to be in Harry's opinion. The mixture between east and west were constant. Some how the Orient and European architecture designed were built so seamless and felt right even. Like the two different cultures were meant to be as one.

He was walking pass several older teens and passed several shops.

Unbeknownst to Harry, he was being followed by one blond hair girl in Victorian era dress. Next to her stood Chachamaru in her casual skirt and blouse. Try as they might they were horrible at blending in and it was Harry's unfocused mind that made the two able to not be notice by him.

Slowly the sun was setting and Harry was sitting outside by the café. He was having a nice green tea and staring up at one of the many large trees that loom over Mahora's shopping district. The streetlights began to turn on and Harry decided it was time to go back to the cabin.

On the way he passed the spot where he last saw her.

Has it been over a year already? Harry asks himself.

Shaking his head he made his way home.

"Kousaka-san, you have returned," Chachamaru said trying to act all natural as if she had been at the wooden cabin for hours. The green hair girl was in the kitchen preparing for dinner. "Oh, there was a message delivered for you. It's in your room. Dinner will be ready in twenty minute, Kousaka-san."

"Thank you and your hard work is very much appreciated," Harry said bowing to green hair girl. Her face instantly reddens and turns around to hide her embarrassment.

Harry made his way up to his room and found an owl with a letter in its beak. He waved his hand and magic the envelope to open and unfold the letter. It read

"Dear Harry,

As per our agreement, I have just arrived in Tokyo, Japan. My family and I will be traveling to Mahora Academy to meet with possible clients. If my information is correct you are there already. Please meet us by the main building tomorrow morning at eight sharp.

Also please be in your formal attire.

Best Regards,

Daphne Greengrass."

"Oh," Harry said a little surprised that he almost forgot about the promised he gave at the end of the school year. After writing a reply he head down to dinner. As usual Chachamaru made wonderful meal and Harry had compliment her at a job well done. As if on cue she instantly stammers at his praises. Eva on the other hand was getting a little annoyed by her display. It was childish and she decided to pull the green hair girl aside to talk.

The next day Harry wore his elegant pin stripe suit. It looks good on him and the suit gave an emerald sheen that made his eyes stands out. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail after giving it a good long brush. When Chachamaru and Eva saw him leave in that nice outfit, alarms were going off and it wasn't your everyday wake up alarm. It was your disaster alarm that went off when Godzilla's decimating Tokyo.

Both master and servant rush to match Harry's wardrobe and out the door before he got too far. For our young magister he was surprised to see both Eva and Chachamaru walking besides him. When asks why they were following him. They'd answer in a nonchalant manner about joining him for the day and with one deadly glare from Eva Harry didn't have much of a choice to decline.

Finally they made it to the Main building of Mahora Academy and surprisingly it was empty save for a hand full of security mages standing by.

"Kousaka-san, what are you doing here?" Asks Negi waling up to Harry and his group.

"I'm here to greet a friend of mine," Harry said giving a respectable bow to his sensei, "She said, she would be here at eight."

"Really now, who would that be?" Negi asks.

"Daphne Greengrass," Harry answered.

"A girl?" Both Eva and Chachamaru thought as the same time.

"I didn't know you were that well connected," Negi said chuckling, "I guess it's to be expected, you went to Hogwarts for the premier Nobles."

"Who's going to be the client of Lord Greengrass?" Harry asks his teacher.

"That's a secret," Negi said and Harry knew why.

Most dealings when it comes to international contracts. The beginning of negotiation is kept under wraps so both parties could get the feel for one another. If they're a good matched they would go forward with negotiating. If they're a bad matched then either party could decline before the media get a hold of the meeting. Nobles with connection to any crown who have a business were stricter and very secretive about their dealings with foreign contracts.

A good size carriage pull up to the front of the gate pulled by beautiful white stead. The carriages were over glamorized with jewelry and gold shining in the sun. It pulled up and the carriage door open and out came a man in tailcoat suit. This suit wasn't your average black and white tailcoat suit. It had everything custom from buttons with diamonds and cuffs with gold. It was an apex of royal spending. Next follows a beautiful woman in a traveling gown. It was colorful and in her hand she had a nylon umbrella. Following her were her two daughters.

"Lord Greengrass, welcome to Mahora Academy," Headmaster Konoe great the Nobles in front of him.

Daphne was wearing your gentle white traveling gown with a hint of blue. Her sister on the other hand was wearing a bright azure gown that captures her bright look on life. The eldest Greengrass peer around the area and when she spot Harry she instantly made her way towards him. Her father gave a warning by calling out her name but she didn't heed his warning.

"Good morning Lady Greengrass," Harry said bowing to the blonde hair girl.

"Good, you're on time," Daphne quip while eyeing Harry up and down as if to evaluate his attire. "You look presentable."

"And you look radiate Lady Greengrass," Harry compliment and he then spot his Solstice gift on her wrist. He smiles thinking that his gift was really appreciated by the girl who has been wearing it ever since he'd given it to her.

"Shall we?" Daphne asked holding out her hand and Harry took it as if to lead her away.

"DAPHNE!" The other girl who was Daphne's sister came running towards the group. "Don't leave me behind!"

"Astoria, act more lady like!" Daphne hissed at her little sister.

"But that's boring," Astoria moaned and she looks up to see Harry, "Hey Daphne, isn't that the guy you complained abou-"

"Astoria!" Daphne snapped sharply shutting her sister up.

"Good afternoon, Young Greengrass," Harry greets the little girl and if he had to guess she's two years younger than he was.

"Call me Astoria!" Astoria joyfully said.

"Ahem!" Someone barge in and there stood the father of the two girls with his wife not far behind.

"Father, I would like you to meet Harry Kousaka," Daphne faces her father while holding Harry's outstretched hand like a Noble guiding their lady.

"I remember you, you're that boy you chose to dance with at the Ball," Lord Greengrass ground out unpleasantly.

"Greetings Lord Greengrass, welcome to Japan, I hope your travel wasn't to much of a bother," Harry bow his head deeply.

"I take it you will be entertaining my daughters for the entire duration of our meeting?" Lady Greengrass stated.

"If they would have me, Honorable Lady Greengrass," Harry politely replies.

"Are you really Daphne's age, you act more politely then the people we meet at any social gathering," Lady Greengrass chuckle.

"Honey!" Lord Greengrass groan.

"Quiet, darling, you may be off, we will send for you when we're done," Lady Greengrass then hand Harry a pouch, "For the trouble my daughters will bring to you."

"That won't be necessary," Harry said handing back the pouch of gold and both Lady and Lord Greengrass has a quizzical look. "It will be my pleasure to show your daughters around Japan's greatest Magical institute. Till we meet again Lord and Lady Greengrass."

"Yes off you go kids," Lady Greengrass motion for them to leave.

"Who's that kid?" Lord Greengrass asks.

"Harry Kousaka, my apprentice," Negi answered.

Walking around the streets of Mahora and touring the sites was something Harry had in mind when taking the Greengrass siblings. Oh how wrong he was. After introducing the both Greengrass to Eva and Chachamaru. He didn't think much of it until Astoria kept pestering Eva with questions about her dresses and such. Harry could tell that his sensei was about to literally rip the head off of Astoria when she was distracted by an ice cream stand.

The older Greengrass on the other hand was subtly glaring at the green hair girl. As a boy and going on twelve and still inexperienced with the mind of girls. Harry was oblivious to the signs of impending doom.

Daphne talked directly to Harry about how great school was and how much he'd had come a long way at Hogwarts. Eva counter by telling Harry about how he should train more in magic and when they get back to the cabin she'll work him to a sweaty pulp. The innuendo was lost to Harry who took it at plain sight. Daphne on the other hand kept her cool but deep down she was getting a little steamed up. Astoria on the other hand was watching this interaction and gave a wicked smile.

"Harry, Harry, what's that?" Astoria questioned while pulling the teen's hand and at the same time making Daphne lose her grip on his arm.

"That's Library Island, largest library in Japan," Harry explains seeing the little girl pointing to the famous island.

"Wow!" Astoria marveled and then she gave a smirk towards the other three girls without letting Harry see. She then made a pouting face and raise both her arms up towards Harry and whine, "I can't see, Harry can you lift me up!"

"Okay," Harry said picking the girl up underneath her arm and place her on his hip just like a mother would do to a child.

"Wow, that's better and you say it's full of books?" Astoria asks and when Harry look back at the island. She stuck out her tongue and all three girls fumed in rage. Luckily Chachamaru was more cool-headed and held her master back. Daphne on the other hand lost her cold visage but recovered and tallies things up so she could keep track of how her younger sister's acting and when they're alone, ohhhh Astoria will pay.

"Do you like books Lady Astoria?" Harry asks the joyful girl and he flinched when she snapped her head towards Harry.

"As-to-ria!" Astoria flailed mercilessly in Harry's arm.

"Of course Astoria, forgive me," Harry chuckle at the girl.

"Do you know that my sister wants to make you his servant?" Astoria whisper and Harry's face blush a little bit. Our magister peer over at the eldest Greengreass and she return her trademarked stoics glare.

"Really now?" Orochi pops out of Harry's neck sleeve.

"Snake!" Astoria squeals happily grabbing the emerald snake and smothers it in both her arms until Orochi passes out. "Can I keep him?"

"Sorry, Orochi likes to be with me but there are nice stuffed animals if you want?" Harry said feeling sorry for the God of All Snakes. Orochi KO'ed by a nine year old, no one would look at him with respect ever again. So much for the fable Madara being deadly.

"Harry-kun what are you doing with a kid?" Fumika asks while her twin sister walked alongside her. Fumika wore a nice short frilly dress that came to her mid thighs while her sister wore a red blouse with jeans.

"Just showing my friends around," Harry said and then switch to English, "Daphne, Astoria these are friends of mine Fumika and Fuka Narutaki."

"Ah English huh?" Fumika intone casually while remembering her English lessons with Negi-sensei, "Well we were about to go for some karaoke. Wanna join?"

Daphne was staring at the tall busty twins with envy. The two red heads beauties loom over her and the fact that they know Harry was something she caught. At the same time a thought was running through her mind.

"Yah, let's!" Astoria bellow while wrapping her arms around Harry's neck and snuggling into his shoulder just to get a rise out of the other girls.

"Daphne? Do you want to?" Harry asks his friend from Hogwarts who nod her head.

Harry was surprised to find a karaoke establishment opened so early in the morning. Astoria had a blast singing and annoyed her sister to bits. The little girl would sit on Harry's lap at several occasions and at times would pull him up to do a duet with her singing some sappy love song. Unlike her older sister, Daphne was in a culture shock. They were in a room with food and drinks while singing words on the TV which she first mistaken for an advanced magical portrait. Then there were the twins who drag Harry up for some singing and Astoria joins for the fun of it.

After singing their guts out Harry was having lunch at a new restaurant. They were sitting outside and Astoria was digging into her meal with joy.

"Lady Astoria you have something on your cheek, there we go," Harry said wiping the mess from the young girls face. "All better."

"Thank you!" Astoria said and gave a peck on his cheek and continued eating.

"You're welcome Lady Astoria," Harry said going back to his meal, "Daphne, you haven't touch your meal."

"Haven't I?" Daphne rhetorically asks seeing her untouched sandwich and fries. "Just things on my mind Harry don't worry."

"If this isn't to your liking there are other restaurants that might serve what you want," Harry suggested.

Both Fumika and Fuka gave each other a devilish look. As twins and as girls they knew what was going on.

"Don't worry Harry, I'm fine, really" Daphne said finally touching her meal.

"Well hello beautiful," a group of guys walk up to Fumika and Fuka, "Twins, I like. Wanna ditch the babysitting service and join us?"

"Harry?" Daphne asks in a tone that held little fear.

With train eyes Harry spot four guys in their late teens. All four of them dressed in casual attire with shirts and baggy jeans. Though they all wore different color bandana. Blue, black, red and grey.

"I would rather be dead then hang with you losers," Fuka shout out. "Get out of here, you're ruining our date!"

"Com'on beautiful, it'll be fun?" The red bandana guys said draping his arm around Fumika's shoulder and staring down her shirt. "OWWWWWW!"

Harry was up and gripping the teen's hand literally dragging the teen to the streets towards his other friends. The red bandana wearing teen was on his knees and couldn't understand how this kid was giving him this much pain.

"Please, leave and have a good day," Harry said and released the hand.

"Screw you!" The red bandana teen barked and swings with his right hand surprisingly the eleven-year-old easily block. Harry counters with a strong jab to the chest knocking the teen out of breath and stunning the teen. He then step forward double palm strike the teen knocking him back and at the same time knocking him out.

The other three teens rush towards Harry. The blue bandana wearing teen rushes forward and reached Harry first. He pulls out a knife and tries to slash Harry. In one quick motion Harry grabs the teen's wrist and effortlessly disarmed the teen and twist the arm around making his opponent do a flip and slams him to the ground.

Suddenly Chachamaru appears besides Harry and block an attack from the black bandana wearing teen. Faster than a snitch she knock the teen out and moved on to the last teen and he went down quicker than the stacks of dominos.

"Are you okay Fumika-san?" Harry asks the frilly dressed girl who nods her head.

"Thanks, Harry-kun," Fumika said pulling the teen's head into a deep embrace into her busty chest. "I wished you were older! So hot and sexy and strong! This actually reminds me of Negi-sensei."

"Thank you," Harry replies after getting smothered into her chest.

The harassing teens were taken away by the school security.

Daphne Greengrass has seen many things but seeing both Harry and Chachamaru move so fluidly to incapacitated their opponents was awe inspiring. She had on occasion gone to the Feast Club and witnessed Harry's sparing match with Su but it was so different to see an actual combat. Not sparing matches where the movements were slow and the motion stops to corrected a movement.

"You were amazing Harry!" Astoria gleefully jumps into the older boys arms.

"It was nothing," Harry brush off and lift her up.

That was the thing about Harry, Daphne had observed. He takes compliments and would brush it off. One would think that he was trying to fish out some more but he would move to another topic. Daphne's have met many Lords and Nobles who would flaunt their abilities and most times gloat to the point of annoyance. Yet it was very accepted behavior of a Noble or Lord, you need to show your prowess to others to either ward off potential threats or established new allies. Those who tried to gained Nobility or even get in her Father's favor will try to show her father that they have the power and abilities. Hell, even if those leeches could do half the things Harry could, they would be showing it off every second like a peacock in mating season.

"He's been raised quite well, don't you agree," Eva start off getting the Elder Greengrass's attention. They were watching Harry and Astoria playing on the swing with him pushing her. "I know many would parade it but he doesn't."

"Yes, I know what you mean Miss Eva," Daphne said softly.

"I know that look," Eva said sharply leaning over to get a closer look at Daphne and then she leans back, "You're asking yourself if he acted aloof just to get under your skin or whatever, to tell you the truth I don't know. We've lived together for two years and I'm still unable to read the boy."

"I thought being an expert at Political games was my forte," Daphne said staring at her sister's joyful laugh.

"Being a Noble isn't what its crack up to be huh?" Eva said out of her high and mighty attitude and relaxing on the bench and they both began to gently laugh at one another's.

At the end of the day they were making their way to Mahora's main building. Astoria still being a kid was asleep in Harry's arms in a bridal carry and her head resting against his chest and drooling profusely. Daphne was appalled and tried to reprimand her sleeping sister but Harry stopped her saying it wasn't a big deal.

During the whole day the eldest Greengrass observe many things that was Harry Kousaka. He was caring, patient and above all protective. At Hogwarts she could only observe him from afar as will as listen to rumors that didn't do Harry justice.

"Good evening Lord and Lady Greengrass, I hope your meetings were productive," Harry greets the parents who were waiting for them. Both father and mother spot their youngest asleep in Harry's arm. Astoria's drools on the other hand made her father green with embarrassment.

"My apologies, my boy," Lord Greengrass said waving his wand and levitating his daughter out of his arms. Instantly Astoria latches out and wrap her arms around Harry's neck.

"Nooo!" Astoria groggily whined, "I wanna stay with Harry!"

"Come on Astoria, you need to be a big girl and let go," Harry gently said and she slowly relent and slowly float down onto her feet, "I'll owl you as much as I can, maybe if your good, I'll get you some more dango."

"Promise?" Astoria happily said pulling out her pinking at the same time cuddling with her stuff snake.

"Promised, but only if you're good," Harry said bending down and coming face to face with girl. He loops his pinky around hers, "Promise!"

"Thank you, my boy, she takes a liking to you," Lord Greengrass said watching the girl rush off to her mother and they enter the carriage. "Something I don't see everyday. Now, what do I owe you?"

"Owe, sir?" Harry asks witnessing Lord Greengrass pull out a rather large checkbook.

"For your reimbursement, you've spent many things for my daughters, I do not want any debt between the two of us," Lord Greengrass said in a blank manner like he's done this many times.

"Lord Greengrass you do not have to pay me back it was truly my pleasure to do so," Harry firmly said, "If it makes you feel any better I will state that you owe me nothing."

"Now that's just makes me feel bad for taking an advantage of a kid like you," Lord Greengrass huffed and put away his large checkbook.

"Well you might be able to do me one favor," Harry said thinking it over and Lord Greengrass shifted a little bit on his feet, "Your next Solstice ball."

"You will definitely be invited! I promise you that," Daphne cut in and both father and Daughter had a staring contest that only last for a millisecond.

"Yes of course, what was your favor young man," Lord Greengrass relent.

"I run a club, we call it Feast Club and more or less we research and converse about different culture and the likes," Harry explained, "I was hoping my club members would be allowed to partake in the culture that is the Britain's Magical Nobilities greatest Solstice Ball."

"I see," Lord Greengrass said mulling the idea over.

"Father, I do have to agree with my classmate, Mister Kousaka," Daphne gently butt in, "I've been to the Feast Club and the participants can very well one day change Magical Britain."

"Is that so?" Lord Greengrass said expertly hid his shock. "Very well, send your club member's names and I will reply with an invitation."

"Only those who had been with the club last year, Harry," Daphne put in which was more of a command rather than a suggestion.

The train ride back home to Ryozanpaku was uneventful. It took a good deal of convincing from Eva and Negi to get the stubborn black hair boy to head home. From what Harry could tell there was supposed to be a surprised when he got home. His attire had gotten some looks from people on the train and his walk home. Finally he made it to the giant gate that separates the world from Ryozanpaku. Shaking his head Harry push the heavy wooden door open and walk in. There he found his family waiting for him.

"Tadaima," Harry greeted his family.

"Okaerinasai," They replied.

In that instant Ba appear next to Harry and began to grill him on how many girls he'd met and if he'd taken pictures of said girls. After finding out what Magister needs to do to attain the title of Magister Magi, Ba was trying his hardest to impart his knowledge in wooing women or the art of scoping out the market with his cameras.

"Ba!" Shigure said and the Chinese Martial artist froze. One thing that really makes him fear Shigure was her motherly aura.

"We'll talk later!" Ba whispers and backed away to give the mother the full view of her son.

In a heartbeat Shigure charge forward with her sword drawn and Harry effortlessly dodged her strike. He took three steps backwards and draws his bow staff and fought his mother. Her movements were nothing like he had seen before. It was quick and précised to the point where he was having difficulty keeping up. The way she moved Harry could tell she was frustrated about something and at the same time relief in his return.

"Magista!" Harry intones his magical activation keyword and several magic arrows erupt from his staff. The arrows charge at his mother and she bat them away as if they were flies. His mother was backpedaling and with that action it gave him room to breath and formulate a plan. Suddenly he felt a presence charge at him from both sides of his body. On instinct Harry plant both feet down on the ground and squat with both arms pushed outward. His palms made contact with Miu and Kenichi who blocked it with ease.

Harry's eyes gave a green flash and he charges his mother with his staff. The battle continues with several hits until harry was left on the ground out of breath and several précised cuts littered his body.

"You've gotten better," His mother said and watched her son sit up.

"Not good enough," Harry admitted.

Shigure knelt down and embrace her son. Unlike her stoic manner this was her way of showing her feelings to her son. She then got up and put Harry on his feet.

"You've made me proud, no, you've made us all proud," Shigure said staring into her son's eyes.

"I didn't defeat my opponent," Harry confessed.

"Defeat? Loss? The greatest defeat is when you don't learn from it," Shigure said sagely. "Come."

His family follows Harry inside the house and there he found the living room filled with foods and balloons. There was a huge banner hung over on the wall saying "Harry's Victory Party!" Surprisingly Eva and Negi was there to greet the boy as well as Rakan who was already drinking the barrel of beer. Next to Negi stood the residential Japanese Youkai.

The party was loud and eventful when you have the Youkais, Magical beings and Ryouzanpaku drinking like there's no tomorrow. Miu was all over the place handing out drinks and if it weren't for the help from Yuki Onna, Yura, Chachamaru and her sisters she would get overwhelmed.

"Let me get this straight," Ba said talking to Orochi with Harry playing translator, "His first kissed was by a seventeen year old who can change her appearance at will?" Orochi nod his head. Ba then put Harry in a headlock and screamed, "DAMN YOU ARE LUCKY! GIVE YOU'RE LUCK!"

After getting the drunk Chinese martial artist off of him Harry was silently listening to several conversation. It wasn't about him but about the people that were around him. Miu and Kenichi's relationship had blossom and they just had their one-year anniversary. Sakaki on the other hand was boasting about his battle with Rakan and from an outside point of view they were long lost brothers. Their amount of drinks they had and how close they resemble one another was uncanny besides their skin tone and hair.

"You did good kid," Rikuo said offering a toast to Harry.

"Thank you Nura-san," Harry replied with a bow.

"None of that kid," Rikuo brush off, "Now another question. How are you with spiritual attacks?"

"Only the basics," Harry offered. "Except for one spell that I was given by a Spirit Hunter. The Sarcophagus Talisman."

"I see," Rikuo said, "I take it, it didn't work because this Voldemort wasn't a spirit but half one?"

"Yes," Harry answered.

"This might be difficult," Rikuo said and then wave the trouble aside, "Let's not dwell on it and party, thank you Yuki." Yuki had poured more sake into his cup.

"Oi, oi!" Sakaki barked getting everyone's attention and as drunken brothers Rakan had his arms around the Karate Master with a larger mug. "Before we all pass out. Let's make a toast!" Everyone agreed and lifts up their cup, "To Harry, our son who made us all proud and defeating a worthy foe! Kampai!"

"KAMPAI! KAMPAI! KAMPAI!" Everyone shouted and Harry saw his mother lifting up her cup and nod at him in approval.

The party lasted till everyone passed out except for Harry who was in the courtyard staring up into the night sky. Just like always his Mother was off to the side hiding from view and smile at his growth. On Harry's face Shigure saw a bright smile and his green eyes glimmer in happiness and that brought great warmth to her heart. Young Harry has many secrets and Shigure has a hard time finding the truth. One of his secrets was his smile, most times his smiles were forced to comfort others and his true smile was rarely shown. Shigure has only count on one hand when Harry had shown that happy smile that was on his face right now. You could say it was like catching a shooting start. Always there but always missed if you're not looking.

"I'm proud of you, my son," Shigure said softly.

The next day we find Harry in the middle of the forest with his parents and circled around him. His expressions were neutral and a little bit fearful cracked through. At first Harry was told that this would be a training exercise but right now he knew it wasn't so. His Fathers and Mother were in their fighting stance and all aimed at Harry. This was punishment and at the same times a lesson for Harry to remember for the rest of his life. Maybe he was too lax when he fought Voldemort and accrued so many injuries had made his parents a little high strung when it came to his safety and teaching him how to be better.

"Begin!"
