CHAPTER 3: Home

Harry looked around at the house and the property. He was in awe of his home. Shadow Viximon jumped out of Harry's arms and digivolved to Shadow Renamon. She was holding Kalimon and walking behind Harry. Maxine walked beside her human. Harry saw a weird looking horse creature. It looked like a mix between a horse and an eagle. James went to the front door and opened it with his wand.

"What is that?" Shadow Renamon asked curious about the creature. They could hear birds singing and a few clouds were in the sky.

"That's a Hippogriff. They are proud so never insult one because it might be the last thing you do. What you want to do is bow to them but keep eye contact. If they bow back you can approach them and rub its beak. Now you know how to approach one." Ariana told them. Lily had everything shrunk and in her pocket. Harry took his D-Ark and pointed it at the family of Hippogriffs. It scanned them and their image came up on the holographic screen. It said the same information that Ariana said.

When they were inside Lily showed Harry ti his room with Maxine and Shadow Renamon following. James set up the stand and cage then opened its door. He put out water and food in the dishes. He put the perch up as well as conjured a dog bed for Maxine. Lily took out the tiny trunk and returned it to normal size. She put it at the foot of Harry's bed. Shadow Renamon laid Kalimon on the pillow and Maxine got up on the bed. James, Lily, and Ariana went downstairs. James and Lily was checking on the House-Elves.

Harry began putting his clothes away in his walk-in closet. Shadow Renamon sat in a chair in a corner watching Harry, Maxine, and Kalimon. Harry noticed that his dad set up one of the perches and took another one downstairs. Harry grabbed a pen and some paper then began to write a letter to Takoto. After he wrote the letter and sealed it in an envelope. But didn't know how to address the envelope. Hedwig was now a full grown phoenix.

'Just write the person's name on there. I'll take it to him.' Hedwig told him through their bond. Harry rolled up the envelope then wrote Takoto Matsuki on it. Then he tied it with a red ribbon to her leg.

"Ok girl, take this to my friend Takoto Matsuki in Japan." Harry said. Hedwig flew out of the window and disappeared in a swirl of snow.

Japan

Takato, Guilmon, Henry, and Terriermon were walking toward the park. They were meeting Rika and Renamon there. They were going to talk about telling their parents about their digimon. They saw Rika and Renamon by a tree.

"Sorry we're late we ran into Impmon then we ran into some creepy guy with blond hair and sunglasses. As he left we overheard him say something about Hypnos." Takato said. They sat down in a group of trees.

"We need to watch out for him if he keeps harassing us." Henry said and everyone nodded.

"Henry, do you think your dad knows who this man is?" Takato asked.

"I don't know but I'll ask him." Henry said.

"I think we should tell our parents about our digimon. That way they know we have some protection. Especially with the news reporting all the digimon attacks going on." Takato said.

"He does have a point. I think my dad would understand." Henry said.

"Rika, Takato's right. They will find out about us sooner or later." Renamon said and Rika sighs.

"I don't know if my mom ever noticed, but I think my grandmother is getting suspicious. I think Takato is right we should tell them. But let's bring them all together in the park." Rika said and everyone nods in agreement. A white bird landed in front of Takato with something tied to its leg. The bird held out its leg.

"Is this for me?" Takato asked and the bird nodded. Takato untied the letter.

"No, it's for the tooth fairy." Terriermon said as Takato untied the ribbon in the envelope then unrolled it. He read the return address.

"Terriermon! Who is it from Takato?" Henry asked curious about a letter delivered by a bird.

"It's from Harry." Takato said excited and pulled out the letter. The bird flew up and landed on Takato's shoulder while Takato was reading the letter.

"Who is Harry?" Rika asked curious.

"His name is Harry Potter. He's from England and we've been writing to each other for a couple of years now. I'm the only friend Harry has." Takato said. Henry knew this but this was a shock to Rika.

"Why is that?" Rika asked now curious about this Harry.

"Because his cousin ~Dudley~ is a bully. Anyone who is nice to Harry or tries to be his friend gets beat up by Dudley and his 'friends'. Think of Dudley as a pig in a wig. Harry's words not mine. But this letter is full of good news." Takato said.

"Where have you been sending your letters to Harry?" Rika asked already not liking Harry's family.

"To a neighbor of his, a Mrs. Figg. But he has a librarian teaching him how to speak, read and write Japanese. The library is the only place that Harry says Dudley and his friends won't go." Takato said. They laughed at this last sentence.

"So what does Harry have to say?" Terriermon asked.

"Dear Takato,

I'm great. The white bird that brought you this letter is a Blizzard Phoenix Loftwing. Her name is Hedwig and she is my familiar.

"Hello Hedwig." Takato said.

I have a second familiar, a Shadow Wolf named Maxine. Great news Takato, my parents are alive and have been in a coma. They are awake now.

"Wow, that is great news." Henry said. Rika and Renamon nodded in agreement.

We are living in Potter Manor. My grandparents used to live in it but they left for a safer haven. I'll see if I can't send you a picture of it. I finally can explain all of those unexplained accidents. I'm a wizard and I can do magic.

"Well that explains how he turned his teachers' hair blue." Takato said. Henry and Rika laughed at what Harry accidentally did to the teacher.

I am a tamer.

"Whoa, we have a tamer in England, cool." Terriermon said.

My digimon has been with me since I was a baby. The digimon took the killing curse spell for me when I was one year old. Her name is Shadow Renamon.

"What?!" Renamon said loudly shocked.

"What is it Renamon?" Rika asked concerned.

"Shadow Renamon is my sister." Renamon said.

I have a digimon here named Kalimon. My D-Ark or digivice says her and her brother Calumon are the twin catalysts to protect them at all costs. Before Kalimon passed out she said protect her from the devas. Do you or Guilmon know anything about the devas? Well gotta go. Hedwig can bring your letters to me. Just call Hedwig and she'll appear. I'll ask if we can come to Japan to visit.

Your friend,

Harry

"The Devas are servants to the digimon sovereigns. If the Devas are coming we need to find Calumon and protect him." Renamon said.

"Hedwig, I'll call you later to come get my letter." Takato said and Hedwig flew off the vanished in a swirl of snow.

"Are you ok Renamon?" Rika asked.

"Yes, I'm just surprised to hear that my sister is alive. When she disappeared we thought she was dead." Renamon said. They talked for a few more minutes then left.

POTTER MANOR...

Harry, Maxine, and Shadow Renamon came down the stairs with Harry carrying Kalimon. Harry sat in a chair with Kalimon still asleep on his lap. Maxine laid down beside his feet. Shadow Renamon stood behind Harry and phased out of sight. Harry had dressed in some of the new clothes that his parents had bought for him. Harry didn't need his glasses anymore so he left them on the nightstand. Hedwig snow swirled in and grabbed her perch in her talons then flew over to Harry. Shadow Renamon grabbed the perch and stood it beside Harry.

"No letter Hedwig?" Harry asked.

'No master. He said he'd call me when he has a reply.' Hedwig trilled and Harry gave her a bacon ball treat. There is two dishes and a tray beneath it. One is for water and the other is for food or treats. The tray is for when Hedwig uses the bathroom. Lily and James came in from the kitchen.

"Good you're done and dressed. We were talking about getting a vehicle. So we can get around muggle London better." Lily said.

"And?" Harry asked and James chuckled at this while Lily smiled.

"The main reason is it will be for you when you are older." Lily said and Harry nodded. A woman in gold silk robes appeared in a swirl of golden lights. Shadow Renamon appeared and moved to attack the intruder but stopped when the woman held up a hand. Lily and James had lowered their wands.

"There is no need to attack Shadow Renamon. I am the Guardian of Destiny, and I brought the Potters a gift. It is outside." She said. Everyone followed her outside. Harry carried Kalimon and saw an old white Volkswagen Beetle with red and blue stripes going down the middle from end to end. It had the number fifty-three on the hood. But it looked like it was on its last legs. Lily and Harry recognized the car at once from the movies.

"That's Herbie." Lily and Harry said at the same time.

"That's correct. I brought him here to this reality because in his reality he has no one left. They are all dead. There was no one to protect and take care of him. I brought him here for you Harry." Destiny said and waved her hand at Herbie. He glowed for a few seconds and when the glow faded Herbie looked brand new.

"He looks good. But now he would draw too much attention to himself and anyone driving him." Harry said. Destiny knew what look Harry would like. She snapped her fingers and Herbie went from white to red. The red stripe was now gold. The white circle the numbers were in was also gold. The steering wheel is now gold. The dashboard is dark red. The seats are red with gold seams. On the rear view mirror is a necklace with a toy version of the original Herbie on it. The number fifty-three was smaller and on one side of the gold circle. On the other side is the symbol for Potter House.

"So what do you think of Herbie's new look Harry?" Destiny asked

"Wow he looks great." Harry said. He handed Shadow Renamon a sleeping Kalimon. Harry walked around to the passenger door which Herbie opened for him. The glove compartment opened up and a letter fell out with a journal. Harry looked at the journal first. It showed Herbie's life. Harry opened the letter next.

'Please take care of Herbie. Whatever your problem, he'll help you find the answer.'

"I will take good care of you Herbie. This will be your home now." Harry said. He put the letter in the journal then put them back in the glove compartment.

"Harry I gave you a mental bond with Herbie. His gas tank is filled with stamina potion. It will act as a clean burning fuel and his gas tank will never run out of it. You can put the necklace on. With that Herbie will always find you. If he needs to talk to someone else a note will appear in his glove compartment." Destiny told Harry and Herbie.

'At least now I have a couple of ways to communicate with people. But I can't see how I look now.' Herbie said.

"He likes the way he can communicate now but hw would like to see his new look." Harry said. Destiny brought up a large mirror so Herbie could look at himself.

'I love it. I look good.' Herbie said.

"He loves it." Harry said. He noticed Herbie's radio is now a digital radio.

"There is a garage built onto the Manor. My parents liked to keep up with modern times. Unlike the rest of the magical community in this country." James said pointing to the garage. Herbie started his engine and drove over to the garage. When he got to the garage the door opened and Herbie drove in. He opened the passenger door so Harry could get out. Harry walked back to his parents. Destiny was already gone.

"Can I have a picture of the Manor to send to my pen pal Takato? Also one of me, Shadow Renamon, Kalimon, and Herbie." Harry asked then said.

"Of course you can. And who is Takato?" Lily said then asked. Harry told them all about Takato.

"It looks like you made a good friend Harry." James said, and smiled along with Lily.

AN: I hope you like this chapter and me bringing in Herbie. I already had this written as well as other stories. I will try to type them up and post them as soon as I can.
