The wizard and Demon

The wizard and Demon 3


Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt was my ride to the Ministry of Magic. I was happy that I at least I knew who he was, and he was a member of the order of Phoenix.

Kingsley let me know he was just to drop me office at Mr. Borland’s office. He had another assignment afterwards, and was sorry he couldn’t wait for me to meet Aaron Borland.

I was a little worried by that. It wasn’t what he had said, it was the way he said it, as if was some inside joke that I was not being let in on.

Now I understand, I really wish I could forget that man ever existed but my brain won’t agree. He will always be something like a song that gets stuck in your mind and can’t get out. I just know it.

Why is everyone these days trying to make me crazy? Don’t they want me to be able to function? If I’m locked up in a mental hospital I won’t be saving anyone.

Flashback

Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt just dropped me off with Mr. Borland’s secrecy and left I was told she would let him know I was here.

When the door opened, I couldn’t believe my eyes, Mr. Borland looked like a cross between Gilderoy Lockhart and Lucius Malfoy an evil flop. It took everything I had not to laugh. The man was smiling with perfect white teeth, but it never reached his pale blue eyes like he never showed any real emotions. He stood about 5’10 and he had a lean body, with long shiny honey brown hair that reach the middle of his back and was tied back with a ribbon. He looked like he was in his forties.

He still would have been a very good looking man, but for the pink and silver robes and eyes that were cold as ice. He was waving me into his office with perfectly manicure hand like he was the king or jester, can’t really tell that much of a difference.

“Harry Potter, it is such a pleasure to meet someone of your standing in our fine community come in, come in. I’m Aaron Borland but you can just call me Aaron and I will call you Harry if that’s ok, well of course its ok, we are going to be good friends after all. Well let me take a look at you. Turn around let me see what I have to working with. Take off your outer robe so I can see what kind of shape you’re in.”


I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. Why in the world would I start taking my clothes off in front of someone I have never met before?

“Mr. Borland…’” I began.

“Aaron please Harry,” Borland interrupted smiling.

I gritted my teeth, “Aaron why in, Merlin’s name, do you won’t me to take off my clothes and turn like I was some type of horse on display? Do you also want to check my teeth?

What’s this all about?”

“Harry I just have to see what I have to do, to make a diplomat out of you.”

“Mr. Borland…..” I tried again.

Again Borland interrupted smiling, “Aaron, Harry.”

Gritting my teeth harder, I wouldn’t be surprised if I haven’t ground them down to nothing before all this crap is done. I still have to put up with him for two more long days after all.

“Aright Aaron what does that have to do with taking off my robe?

Aaron smirked at me, “Why everything of course, silly.”

This was really starting to make me mad. I could feel my magic just itching to hex that look off his face and laugh while doing it. I think I was bordering on being insane already. But it was people like this, which just pushed my buttons.

“Well I’m not doing anything until you explain what everything is after all you need me I don’t need you. I will not be doing a damn thing.”

That made his smile wan a little bit but now it was back with full force like he just got his second wind.

“Harry very funny I know you wouldn’t do anything to put our world in danger you almost had me there very funny. Alright where do we start? You’re going to need a whole new wardrobe. You can’t go around in those rags you call clothing. We also must get your eyes fixed; we can’t have you going around in those terrible glasses. What would people say? Heroes don’t wear glasses after all. Let’s see what else? Oh I know we have to fix that hair, it looks like it’s never been brushed or a bird has made a nest in there. We must after all make sure you live up to being the Boy-Who-lived. We’ll go get your eyes fix now. Then I’ll have someone take you to your room so you can get some sleep, after all it will take your eyes time to adjust. Well come on Harry we haven’t got all day,” he commented as he was opening the door to his office.

I could just stared at him as if coming out of a daze all the while mumbling to myself “don’t kill the idiot don’t kill the idiot.”

Aaron grab Harry’s arm and propelled him out the door, “Hey Rosalynn can you call Healer Heilbronn and tell her we are coming to see her to get Harry’s eyes fixed?”

Rosalynn just smiled looking highly amused as if this happened all the time.

“Sure will Mr. Borland.”

“Also call my personal tailor to see when he can fit Harry in for a new wardrobe. Let him know he will only have tomorrow and the day after to get it all done.”

“Oh one more thing can you call Harrison and asked him the name of the cobbler who made his boots, he was telling me about Monday. Can’t have new cloths and not shoes that would be a big over site and we can’t do that. Have to have all the dragons caged as they say after all.”

“We will be back in about an hour I then I will need you to take Harry to one of the ministry’s guest suite and get him settled. Also have an Auror on duty just to make sure nothing happens and no one bothers him”.

I see Rosalynn had started writing notes.

“I will have it all taken care of by the time you and Mr. Potter get back sir. If there’s anything else you, need just let me know.”

Mr. Borland just nods his head.

“I knew I could count on you dear. You always are a big help with everything I need.”

Then he winks at her while still hang on to my arm and pulling me towards the elevators.

“Mr. Borland….” I began impatiently.

“Aaron, Harry how many times do I have to ask?”

“Aaron! I may not want to get my eyes fixed; I might like my glasses and rags, as you call them.

He just turned to look at me as if I was crazy. I kept saying, well at least to myself, that I’m going insane but he as no right in hell to look at me like that, out of the two of us he’s the one that needs to be locked up. I think I was being very reasonable with my questions he was the one who just insulted me.

“Harry of course you do, what person would like to go around looking like that if there was another option, you kids today. I think I’m may be beginning to get your humor, very funny.”

“Well come along the healer will be waiting and since we are going to the Ministry healer we don’t want to have an Auror waiting for treatment because you decided to have some fun with me now would you?”

Merlin what a guilt trip. Hell! Might was well, it couldn’t hurt. I may as well get something out of this stupid mission. Not having glasses could help when in a fight and when playing Quidditch.

And the clothing, well I can just shrink them and put them in a box when I have to go to my oh so loving family, so they wont see them. What the hell, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I pull my arm out of his grip, smirked, and motioned for him to lead the way.

I knew if I was to say anything right then it would be a hex, Better safe than sorry after all. He smiles that creepy smile and starts for the elevators again. We get on and go to the med dept at the ministry. I didn’t even know that they had one here. But I guess it made sense not to have to go to the hospital all the time. Being an Auror is a very hazardous job. We have Madam Poppy at school, so it made a lot of common sense to have one here also.

When we walked in we were met by a very stern looking witch in a white healer’s uniform.

“Hello Aaron, Mr. Potter, Rosalynn sent a message to let me know that you were coming,” she said, while shaking our hands.

Mr. Borland had that fake smile on his face white teeth and all. “Well hello Healer Heilbronn it is so good to see you again. How are the girls doing got any grandchildren yet?”

Healer Heilbronn just laughs, “No! Not yet but soon hopefully I can’t wait. Why don’t you go into the waiting room while I take Mr. Potter back and fix his eyes it should only be a few minutes.

Mr. Borland nods his head in agreement. “Will do; just let me know when you’re done so I can lead Harry back to my office. Harry it will be done in no time then you can go get settled in you rooms.”

Healer Heilbronn motions me to follow her. “Right this way Mr. Potter. This is a rather easy spell so it doesn’t take to long.” She leads me in to an examine room.

“Please lie down on the bed and stay as still as you can also try not to blink too much.

This made me very nervous all the sudden. “Is this safe? Why do I have to be worried about blinking? I would rather have glasses than be blinded by some spell.”

She just makes a swooshing motion with her hand as if to shoos a way my questions. “Of course it’s safe. I just have do repeat the spell if you blink and to do that is an hour wait. I would like to finish with just the one shot. It’s best to do this kind of thing when it’s slow around here. Are you ready Mr. Potter?”

I smile at her nodding my head to let her know it was ok and take off my glasses and put them on the bedside table.

She holds her wand right in front of my face, “Please hold still I’m going to start the treatment now.” While she makes the correct wand movements and said the spell “absolutio iustusaum aspectususmact,” a bright yellow light comes from the wand and hits me. I suddenly feel dizzy, nauseas and I have a bad headache.

I thought she said it was safe, this feels like I have a hangover after having a long night of drinking. I can barely move I can only lay here and try not to howl with pain.

All the sudden I can fell there is something cold against my mouth I open my right eye I can see that Healer Heilbronn has a potion vile in her hand it look to be a mild healing daft.

“Here you go Mr. Potter this should get rid of your headache and any other side affects the spell might have caused.”

I open my lips and drink it down in one go and start to gag. How can something that makes you want to be vomit cure anything? But its already working I can feel I’m getting back to normal or as normal as I can be.

“There you go Mr. Potter, good as new, sit up so I can take a look at your eyes.”

I sit up things still look blurry and I can’t really make anything out unless it’s right in front of my face. I sit up and she uses her wand to run a complete check up on my eyes.

She smiles at me and puts her wand away. “All went perfectly, there should be no problems.”

I reach for my glasses to put them on and she snatches them out of my hand.

“Hey that spell didn’t do anything I still can’t see I need my glasses to see I don’t want to go around walking in to walls and door that’s just not my idea of fun no matter what you think lady.”

She just giggles at me. “Mr. Potter you were told it will take a few hours for your vision to right its self wearing your glasses will just interfere with the spell your eyes have to remain uncovered for the spell to work or you vision will only correct its self to perfect vision though your glasses and that would be just a waste of your time and mine don’t you agree.”

I smiled at her to let her know I understood and agreed. There must be a class how to get patients to do what you want. She and madam Poppy have the same bedside manner I swear.

“I’m sorry I just expected that I would be able to see right away that’s all thanks for taking your time to do this for me I greatly appreciative of you help.” I start to get off the bed and she helps me up.

“Think nothing of it Mr. Potter it’s my job after all.” Then she takes my arm to lead me back to Aaron. “We wouldn’t want you to walk into the walls after all Mr. Potter.”

I have to laugh at that. “Please call me Harry after everything you have done I’m not the best of patients after all.”

Aaron walks up to us just as she starts to laugh again and shacks her head yes.

“Aaron I will leave Harry in your care. I will see you both later.”

Aaron took my arm and we headed back to his office so Rosalynn could take me to my room, all the while talking about something.

I just tuned him out I just couldn’t deal with him any more right now. I will be glad when I can be by my self.

When we got back to his office Rosalynn stood up and walking over to us said

“Mr. Borland I made the appointments. Your tailor Mr. Alexander will be here at 9 am tomorrow, also the name of the cobbler is Mr. Blackwell and he will be here at that time also so the shoes go perfect with the clothing. They have worked together in the past and had no problem with the arrangements.

I also took the time to call and make an appointment for 1 pm at the Regale hair salon so to get Mr. Potters hair fix they said they could do it as soon as they knew who appointment was for, if not it’s a 1 month waiting list I hope you don’t mind.”

Mr. Borland just smile at her. “No dear I knew I left everything in the right hands after all we only have 2 days left to get everything done. I will just leave everything up to you. Please go ahead and take Harry to his rooms now so he can get some rest.”

He let go off my arm. Then she grabbed my other arm are pulled me back to the elevator. She just shows me to my room, tells me the password is dragon says good night and if I need anything just to call Bubbles the house elf she will get me anything I need. I thank her and tell her goodnight also.

I say the password to the room and go inside. The room is very nice from what I can see of it that is. I find my trunk and change in to some sleep pants and go to bed after all I’m going to be put though hell over the next couple days.

End flashback

I was right, the next two days were hell, but looking at my self now I’m glad. I hardly look like myself any more. I had some trying times especially during my fittings for the new clothing.

Mr. Borland wanted some really hideous colors (all pastel).

I was glad when Mr. Alexander agreed with me, I got what I wanted. That was a victory for me and I will take all the wins if anyone else had my life they would do them same.

When I looked in the mirror, after everything was said and done, I was shocked by how I look now. I have black hair that goes right past my shoulders and it’s not messy at all. My face has really changed with out my glasses. I have emerald green eyes long lashes that any girl would envy, well at least that are what I was told. I think I look a little feminine, but good none the less. I was still happy and my clothes look really good on my frame, since I’m only 5’6. I was a little worried but in the end I was very happy with the overall effect. Mr. Alexander really is good at what he does.

I was also given an Auror kit which is pretty cool. It has almost anything you could need in an emergency situation; it was a gift from Dumbledore. Kingsley Shacklebolt gave it to me just before I left for the airport. It has a port-key, about 30 diffident kinds of potions, dueling robes made out of dragon hide, and all kinds’ food and candy, I bet there are lemon drops in it. Also it shrinks and un-shrinks at just a touch and is keyed only to me. I packed all my stuff in it, and put it on a necklace to wear around my neck, can’t have muggles at the airport seeing anything magical.

The only bag I had was a carry on with books and a change of clothing. This was fine with me I don’t want to have to fight to get anything from the baggage claim when I get to Tokyo.

Thank you Merlin I’m finally getting sleepy again. I might as well take another nape before we get there.

I can’t wait to get there I’m planning on going to go to this cool shrine I read about in one of the books Hermione gave me as soon as I read about the place I knew I had to go check it out. It was as if the place was calling to me. I have found that I always should listen to what my instincts are telling me or I may end up dead.

I lean my chair back again and drift off to sleep hopefully I will not wake up before we get there and have another dreamless sleep.

I’ve ready filled out the quarantine questionnaire so I shouldn’t have any problems.

I slept until the stewardess started patting my arm to wake me up for the landing.
