Harry Potter the Master of None (Adopted Version)

A Conversation With Byron

A/N: Thanks you all for waiting so long for this chapter to come out. I hope you will enjoy it.

Harry's P.O.V.

I was walking out of the room that I share with Hulion when I accidently rammed into a hard wall like being...cause obviously there is not an actual wall where I was walking, only another muscular alien--who just so happened to be one of the Mappers. I was slightly startled and a little frightened at the aliens size, that I forgot to identify which of the Mapper's I had just run my full short body into. 

Little Harry...that one has a special aura to him. I think this one is called Byron? You should get to know the mappers and try to get into their group...I think it would benefit you to do this so that you can release all your pent up magic, but also so that you can release your two new forms more often. You could also train your new forms easier if you were on another planet doing different jobs. What do you think? Cosmos spoke to me softly in my mind.

I think you have a valid suggestion, the only problem I see is that I am very timid Cosmos, so doing so would become difficult real fast. 

That's why you start small...For example, looking Byron in the eyes and saying 'Hello' to him and asking him if his mission went well?

You're right...I guess...I can try to do this much at least...It does feel like I should start integrating into this family of aliens more than I already have.

With some of the deep rooted fear that I used to feel starting to melt away, I shifted myself backwards away from the alien, lifted my head and nodded saying, 

"Hello Mapper Byron...Was you trip and mission okay?" Before returning my gaze back down to the floor.

The answer I gained was one that I was not really expecting to hear at all come from Byron's mouth.

"Yes my mission went well. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened. We ran into some kinds of animal resistance when exploring the more jungle area of the planet, but besides that, everything went according to plan. Now that I have answered this question of yours will you allow me the honor of knowing your name little one?" Byron spoke to me in a gentle voice. 

"My name is Harry. You can call me whatever, though some here call me little human, and or just Harry. I prefer Harry though." I rambled a little without even stopping to realize that I was even talking like that in front of Byron.

"Harry...What a unique name. Then from now on you will be referred to by me as Harry. Since that I what you prefer, than that is what I will call you by. Now where were you off to just now Harry?" Byron asked kindly while patting my head a little roughly with his big hands. 

"To the mess hall for some food. I haven't eaten yet, and would like to at least try and fill my stomach before landing on the planet that we are heading for. Would you want to accompany me there, Byron? I could use the company since Hulion isn't here right now. What do you say?" I asked cautiously.

"I would love to Harry! I have obviously already eaten, but I am always happy to accompany someone to eat! Speaking of Hulion, he looked semi-frantic when I left the mess hall a little while ago...Maybe we should go to him and comfort him before he get's too much more worked up?" Byron asked innocently.

"Ah shucks! Yeah we probably should do that! lead the way then Byron..." I said in response realizing that talking this long was tiring me out a little more since it was a stranger that I hardly knew much about. 

"Great! Follow me!" Byron said, turning and starting to walk back towards the mess hall.

So, we walked to the mess hall, and once we arrived Bryon led me straight to Hulion.

"What have you been doing for the last couple of hour Harry? You were in the room with the door locked for more than two hours longer than what you said you were going to be sleeping for! Do you have any idea how worked up I have been?" Hulion said to me once he spotted me, not even noticing Byron next to me.

"I am sorry Hulion I never meant to disappear into the room that long, but I can promise you that I am perfectly fine. I am happy to eat though, since I am really hungry right now." I responded to Hulion in a sincere apology.

"It's okay Harry. I was just really worried about you. So you better not pull that on me again, alright?" Hulion said to me in a serious voice, while also looking more calm.

"I understand Hulion. I promise not to do anything like that again." I said to Hulion in a sincere apologetic voice. 

"Now that you two have been reunited with each other, how about we get Harry here a meal to fill his stomach? Wouldn't want the poor thing to starve from us ignoring his hunger in favor of talking. Now Harry, what do you like to eat? Anything in particular that you would not want to eat if you could avoid it at all possible? I am curious as to what you like as a human." Byron spoke in concerned curiosity. 

"Oh Byron! I am ashamed to say that I didn't even notice your presence next to Harry here. Anyways, you are correct in the fact that we should make sure that Harry here is full so as not to go hungry any longer than necessary. Now Harry, what do you want to eat tonight?" Hulion asked in the most innocent way possible, allowing for a slight embarrassed twinkle to his stars to show slightly.

"I would like something sweet if that's possible. You know the fruits that I really like Hulion. If you could plate those for me, I would very much appreciate that. I would really like to continue to converse with Byron here for a while, so I hope you don't mind if he joins us while I eat?" I asked in a sort of timid request for more company.

"That would be great. The more interactions that you have--in my opinion--the better you will surely end up in life. I know how much courage it takes you to talk to the different species here on this ship, but I hope that with time it will grow easier for you Harry. Now  I will go get you those fruits that you really like." Hulion spoke in happiness, shown through not only his voice but also through his blinking rapid stars on his skin. 

With that being spoken Hulion rushed off to go grab me a couple of all the fruits that I liked. I was happy to make Hulion happy, even if the process to do so is a little arduous to me at first.  Turning to Byron I pointed to the table that I usually sit in with Hulion and Karlum.

"Will you sit with me?" I asked after keeping my finger raised and pointed to the table that I sit at.

"Of course Harry. I already said I would, and I don't plan on abandoning that promise. I would also like to talk more with you as well, so lead the way Harry. We can sit and talk while you eat to your fill." Byron said with honesty dripping from his tone.

"Great follow me then!" I spoke actually feeling really excited to talk to Byron all of a sudden.

That could be because you are feeling safe and brave around Byron. From what I can tell he is a really great being. I wouldn't let you go with him if he wasn't. I wouldn't have even suggested that you talk with him if I wasn't sure of your safety. You however are the one who took the first step in perusing a talking relationship with him at all Harry. And for that you should be very proud of yourself. Just as we are proud of you. Cosmos said in a soft and happy tone.

Yeah for now I feel as though I can finally take a step in the right direction for not only myself, but also for the good of everyone else that I meet. I hope everything else goes smoothly this meal . I thought to not only myself but also to Cosmos. 

I really hope everything works out for the better.

Thank you for reading this chapter. I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for your continuous support.
