Harry's Demon

Chapter 6: The Day of Discovery

The next day, Ciel and Sebastian drove to London. They then walked up and down the street trying to find 12 Grimmauld Place. Just as Ciel was about to give up, Hadrian appeared behind them. He was smiling brightly and rocking on the balls of his feet. He then gestured for them to follow, and they did so.

They followed Hadrian up the front steps of the townhouse, a townhouse they could have sworn wasn't there before. Hadrian opened the door and into a hallway. Just then, they heard a scream... A female voice yelled furiously, "Horrible muggles! In my home!"

"Lady Black! Do I need to burn you?" Hadrian yelled back, angrily.

Lady Black was a portrait! The portrait looked scared for a moment, then said weakly, "Of course not, my lord."

"Then you will be quiet?"

"Of course, my lord."

"Good," Hadrian said sharply in reply.

Then Hadrian turned back to Ciel and Sebastian, he smiled at them sweetly, and said politely, "I'm terribly sorry about her. Please, follow me."

Then Hadrian led them to a very nice drawing room and told them to sit. They did so and took in their surroundings. Everything seemed a little off to them. They just couldn't figure out how. Then a beautiful brown-haired woman walked into the room. She was holding a sleeping toddler and looked upset. However, when her eyes landed on Sebastian... She gasped in recognition and fear. Just then Hadrian walked back into the room, neither Ciel nor his butler had noticed that he had left the room. The woman whipped around and shouted angrily, "Hadrian James Potter-Black! What are you thinking!? Letting one of them into our home! I could handle the muggle child!"

Hadrian flinched and looked sheepish. This made Sebastian worried and angry, he just couldn't figure out why. Hadrian then waved his hand and spoke to the woman. However, they couldn't hear him or the woman, when she replied back to him. Then the toddler woke up and began to cry, but they couldn't hear him cry. However, what shocked them the most was that the toddler's hair changed color.

Then the woman gave the toddler to Hadrian, while she hugged him. Then she pulled out a very pretty stick and waved it. Suddenly, Ciel and Sebastian could hear the crying toddler. Then the woman turned to them and spoke with embarrassment and knowledge in her voice, "I'm sorry if I insulted you. Let's start over. I'm Hermione Granger, it's a pleasure to meet you two."

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well," Ciel replied calmly.

Sebastian was still mad at Hermione for scaring Hadrian. So, he just glared at her. Then the toddler waddled up to Sebastian and said confused, "You smell dangerous yet good-hearted. I like you!"

Hadrian smiled brightly at the toddler. Then Hermione asked the toddler gently, "Are you going to introduce yourself?"

"Oh! I can do that! Hello, I'm Heir Teddy Lupin."

"It's nice to meet you, Heir Lupin," Ciel replied, nervously and slightly confused.

After a moment of just awkwardly standing, Hermione and Hadrian sat down, with Teddy sitting on Hadrian's lap. Then Ciel asked confused, "What is Teddy? He is not human."

"You are correct. You are the only human in this room."

"What!? What are you then!?"

"All three of us are a part of the Wizarding World. Actually, you are in our world right now."

"You mean like magic?"
