A/N: Hey everyone, this is the new chapter, obviously, I hope you like it. Some of you might recognise some things that are similar to other peoples stories, I know this and I would mention them if I could remember which ones they were (If you lovely readers know, please tell me) and I’m only using them because I thought they were good ideas anyway.
The Kitten and the Killer
Chapter 6 - How to Spend A Summer…
Harry woke suddenly to a warm hand on his shoulder, pulling him out of the world of nightmares, where monsters from two different worlds had clashed. His eyes quickly settled on the mirror-shine orbs of Riddick, who was sitting on the bed next to him and drawing his hand back.
Harry whimpered slightly, seeing his comfort being taken away, and Riddick opened his arms; his lap was soon full of shaking teenage wizard. Riddick stroked Harry’s ears and the brunet’s body soon stopped trembling, instead a loud rumbling started up in his chest. Harry blinked as Riddick smirked, the hand stopping it’s soothing movement. Harry growled lightly and nudged the Furyan’s stationary hand. The man’s smirk widened but his hand resumed it’s petting, bring back the loud purr.
“Does my jade kitten like that?” Riddick teased. Harry nodded, his purrs growing louder. Curling up completely against Riddick, who had moved to lean against the headboard, Harry was soon fast asleep again. Riddick, however, just dozed, keeping an eye on the sleeping brunet but lulled by his soft breathing.
Over the next few days, they both soon realised that Harry could not sleep alone for fear of the nightmares that plagued him, so Riddick moved into Harry’s bed. The boy was quickly bringing out the softer side of the killer, something that Riddick had been sure was completely lost to him after Kyra’s death.
When Harry awoke the second time, it was just past noon, so they headed to the suite’s dining area to find some food.
“Dobby?” Harry called, as they made their way to the table.
“How can Dobby help Harry Potter?” The house elf chirped brightly from behind them. Harry turned to rest on the back of his chair and looked straight into Dobby’s bright green tennis ball-shaped eyes.
“Just some late breakfast please Dobby.” Harry waved a hand towards the other side of the table. “That’s Riddick, Dobby, and he’ll be staying here. He will need a lot more food than me, okay?”
“Yes, Harry Potter sir. I’ll be getting that breakfast now, Harry Potter sir.” and Dobby disappeared with a pop.
“Riddick?” Harry looked down at the table when Riddick’s eyes fixed on him. “I was just wondering if…well, if…if you would teach me how to fight?”
“Sure Jade, after food.”
“Okay!” Harry said brightly.
At that point Dobby reappeared with a small plate for Harry and one three times larger for Riddick.
“Thanks Dobby.”
“You’re welcome, Harry Potter sir.” Dobby disappeared once more, leaving them to eat alone.
Harry was once again leading the way, but this time it was up to the seventh floor and the room of requirement. He paced the corridor in front of the Barnabas the Barmy tapestry thinking of a place for Riddick to teach him, and opened the door once it appeared.
Stepping in, he saw a large dojo, with soft reed mats covering the floor and weapons of all sorts hanging from the walls. It was like something he had seen in a martial arts movie Dudley had watched.
“Right kitten, let’s see what you can do.” Riddick moved into the centre of the room after hanging his shivs up by the door. “Attack me.” Harry hesitated for only a second before dashing forward.
A few hours later, Harry was leaning against the wall, sipping a bottle of water and panting harshly.
“That was good kitten, but we need to but up your endurance and perfect your skills in hand to hand before we move onto weapons. Although, as you’re picking it up easily and you have good speed and agility, we should be able to start weapons in a couple of days. Tomorrow morning you’re running laps and swimming lengths before we start again in here.”
“Yes sir.” Harry said humourlessly. “Do you want to have a look around Hogwarts?” The brunet asked, standing up straight. Riddick nodded. “’Kay. Dobby!” The house elf in question popped in front of Harry.
“Yes, Harry Potter sir?”
“Could you give Riddick a tour of Hogwarts? Show him all the main areas, secret passages, trick steps, all the need to know stuff.”
“Of course Dobby can. Come Riddick sir, Dobby be showing you Hogwarts.”
“Dobby, bring him back to wherever I am afterwards, ‘kay?”
“Yes, Harry Potter sir.”
Harry watched as Dobby ushered Riddick out of the room, trying to hold back his laughter.
Once Harry had calmed down, and he could no longer hear the loudly squeaked comments from Dobby to the stoic Riddick, he stood in the centre of the room and closed his eyes. ~Room of requirement, I need something to keep my mind off things, a way to relax, something that could help me in the future~ Harry thought/asked.
Opening his eyes, Harry saw that the room had become sound-proofed, and now held all manner of musical instruments. Although two lead guitars were placed at the front next to a seat, microphone and sheets of music that he knew were meant for him. They were both black with green flames running from the base up to the neck, one was acoustic and the other was magically altered electric. There was also a case containing a muggle sound system and hundreds of cds. Walking over to peruse the collection, Harry pulled down a ‘My Chemical Romance’ album and put it on at a low volume. He sat down by the guitars, picked up the acoustic and started to learn.
With the room helping him get the chords right and the timing down, it was a very self-satisfied Harry Potter that left the room in the early evening.
The gryffindor met up with Riddick and Dobby outside the tapestry, having forgotten that Riddick could not get in without him.
“Come on.” Harry pulled the tapestry aside, allowing them to enter, and strode down the corridor, past the entrance door and out at the other end, closing the door again once everyone was out. Harry stared at the carving, it was an array of different animals, both muggle and magical.
“Pick an animal, any animal.” The door stated. Harry reached out a hand and stroked the head of a thestral, while Riddick touched a wolf. “The password is ‘serpent consortium’.” The door said and swung back open again for them to enter.
“Thank you.” Harry stalked into the dark corridor once more, followed closely by Riddick and Dobby, and gained access to the main suite from Asmodaeus.
Without even considering those following him, Harry headed to his bedroom and waved his hand over his trunk; it flipped open and the contents started to unpack themselves. Harry followed his books as they flew into the library joined to his bedroom, curled up in his favourite armchair, and picked up the book on the top of the pile next to it. He had collected each of these books dedicated to language in the library t research a translation charm for Seth before he left for the summer, and as no one else had been in there (except Dobby, who had been told not to move any of the books) the books were all ready for him to continue to search.
Riddick and Harry established a routine over the next couple of weeks. First they would run laps around the castle and lake (which increased in number), then they would swim lengths (Harry started in the prefects bathroom before moving out into the lake), then they would spar in the room of requirement both barehanded then armed for a few hours, before Riddick took off to explore the castle and grounds (he admitted he had been going in the Forbidden Forest) and Harry had his guitar lessons (he could now play any song he listened to). In the evening Harry would hide in the library until dinner time or he fell asleep, whichever came first, and Riddick would meditate in the living room. But they still shared a bed. If Harry fell asleep in the library Riddick would move him to the bed so he could sleep more comfortably.
One evening however, this routine was broken when there was a gleeful shout from the library. Harry came rushing out into the living room and pounced on Riddick, who was stretched out on the couch with Mrs Norris curled up on his stomach. She hissed loudly at the sudden movement from Harry but calmed when he started purring contentedly.
Harry had befriended the caretaker’s familiar one evening on the way back from the room of requirement. He had found out then that with his cat half he could understand her on a complex level, giving her someone to talk to, and giving him an ally and spy. Since then, she had spent a lot of time following Harry around instead, and Harry found it quite amusing when he heard Filch’ going on about his cat going ‘missing’.
“What is it kitten?” Riddick asked with an eyebrow raised.
“I found it - the translation charm, or, to be more specific, potion - although some of the ingredients are so illegal I’ll have to go to Knockturn Alley. I’m gonna go tomorrow, have to get my stuff for the year too, and I already sent a note to Dumbledore. Do you want to come?”
“No. Too many people, none I’m allowed to kill.”
“You’ll have to get used to crowds eventually - Hogwarts is gonna start again soon.”
“Then I’ll get used to it then.”
“Ugh, you’re no fun.” Harry turned to Mrs Norris but her glare stopped him before he’d even opened his mouth. He huffed. “Fine, be that way, I’m gonna talk to Seth instead.” Harry jumped up and curled up in the armchair closest to the fireplace, conversing rapidly in parseltongue with the asp’s portrait above the mantle.
.:What has you so excited Ri?:.
.:Just a little potion for language translation, nothing too major:.
.:You what? You found something? I can talk to other people?:.
.:Well, other people will be able to understand you, but I’m not to sure how you administer a potion to a painting:.
.:Just paint it over me, if it isn’t corrosive it should be fine. So how does it work?:.
.:It’s kinda like the polyjuice potion, you add a part of whoever or whatever you want to understand. It takes about the same amount of time to brew as well. It’s also considered quite dark, though I have no idea why, but I’ve gotta be careful getting the ingredients as some are illegal. I might have problems brewing it too, it’s quite complex - I might ask ’Mione for help:.
.:You’ll be fine Ri - you have your own potions lab in this suite and you’ve brewed really difficult potions on your own before:.
.:I suppose. I’ll try it anyway. And this means I can go to Diagon Alley tomorrow too:. Harry hissed excitedly. .:But grumpy pants over there won’t go with me:. Harry pouted.
.:Isn’t that a good thing? You can spend some time with the twins if Riddick’s not there to spoil the mood:. Harry blushed.
.:Thanks Seth, you always make me feel better:.
.:Glad to be of service Ri. You should go eat, looks like Dobby made a feast again:.
.:Yeah, okay. We’ll talk later Seth:.
.:Of course, I will want to know what happens with the red heads, and I will want details:. Harry’s blush returned and darkened.
“Pervy snake.” He muttered, causing Riddick and Mrs Norris to look over at him. “Nothing.” Harry stammered, blushing a deep crimson, as he moved to sit down at the table for dinner.
The next morning, Harry woke to the bright sunlight dancing in his eyes. He turned and snuggled deeper into Riddick’s chest. He felt Riddick’s hand move and start to stroke his ears, a purr rumbled out of his chest and his tail flicked lazily in contentment.
“Wake up kitten, you have a busy day.” Riddick commanded in his gruff voice, still thick with sleep.
Harry stretched each of his muscles out before padding softly to the bathroom, his tail wrapped around his waist and his ears flattened, anticipating the water of the shower.
After the very quick shower, Harry stared into the mirror, hair change potion in hand. ~I think I’ll have Ritsuka hair today~ He thought as he poured the thick potion on his hands and started to rub it in his hair. ~Oh, that reminds me, Fred and George should have the magically altered anime DVDs for me by now, I’ll pick them up while I’m there~ Before the summer holidays Harry had read a few different manga that had appeared in the room of requirement when he wanted something completely different to read, of which there were the Loveless and Naruto series.
After rubbing the potion in thoroughly, he closed his eyes and imagined Ritsuka’s hairstyle in detail, muttering ‘Aoyagi Ritsuka’ under his breath. His head started to tingle and when it stopped, he opened his eyes to see perfect Ritsuka hair with his face.
“Awesome.” He dropped the glamour and saw that the new hair went perfectly with his ears. “I think I’ll keep this for a while.” Harry willed the glamour back up and bounced back into the bedroom in only a towel, where Riddick still lay on the bed, only now with Mrs Norris sitting next to him. Harry stared longingly at where the other cat was curled up, wanting to go back to sleep too.
“Like the hair, kitten.” Riddick was looking at him with a smirk, while Mrs Norris mewed in agreement. Harry smiled brightly and moved over to the wardrobe.
He pulled out a pair of dark green cargo trousers, his black converse, and a black boat neck shirt similar to that of Naruto’s Uchiha Sasuke’s all black phase. He pulled out some black silk boxers and black socks from a nearby drawer and grabbed a pair of back fingerless gloves from a top. The raven dressed quickly and turned to Riddick.
“What do you think?”
“Gorgeous as always kitten.” Harry blushed, “but you might want to make your tail more comfortable.”
“Oh!” Harry quickly and gently pulled his tail through the hole he had made in the cargos. He had done the same to all of his clothes soon after arriving at Hogwarts. The gryffindor glanced in the mirror and saw that the glamour was still working, hiding his ears, tail and the hole it needed.
“Perfect.” Riddick stood and moved over to Harry, picked up a pair of sunglasses and placed them gently on Harry’s head. “For the sun.” Harry hugged Riddick ad uttered a very muffled ’thank you’.
Riddick and Mrs Norris walked Harry to the entrance hall where the headmaster was waiting with a portkey.
“Same activation word Harry.” Dumbledore passed him the same ruby pendant as before. “It’ll drop you in front of Gringotts.” Harry nodded.
“Bye Riddick.” Harry hugged him again, before moving back and hanging the pendant around his neck. “Brian.” And Harry was gone.
