Water and Magic Do Mix

Meeting Harry... Finally.

Pierce's POV
I told Sirius and Remus that I will explain everything soon enough, but not today. I promised. They nodded and let Mrs Weasley know that she can call others down now.

First I heard a crack sound. Not that the apparating ever made sense here. It basically tells your enemy where you are. My travel is better. I can use it against the enemy unlike these fools.

"Hi, I'm Fred."

"And I'm George and you are gorgeous"

"Thanks but I'm already taken. Nice to meet you Fred and George". They were sad that I was taken and shocked when I was able to distinguish them properly. But living with the Stoll brothers teaches you a thing or two.

"I'm Alexis King"

Then four other kids came down. One of them was Harry. I was eying him only. I wanted to go to him and hug him tightly and never let anything come near him. But I also knew this was his battle to fight. I was merely just a presence that protects him from everything.

I shook hands with everyone. A ginger guy called Ron Weasley, A brunette with messy hair and a know it all by the expression named Hermione Granger and another ginger girl named Ginny Weasley.

At last I shook hands with Harry. He was so much like father and not Poseidon but James. It's complicated.

"You were there at the hearing. You made him scared, Fudge. It was really great I mean after you left he just declared I was free. Thank you for supporting me"

"Any time. And you did a good deed there." I was trying to stop the waterworks. But didn't have to because the twins lightened the mood by telling about the pranks they wanted to do in school.

"If it helps, I can help you know some amazing pranks. And what's school life without some fun and pranks." I suggested

"Really? thanks a lot." Fred said.

"How come you are here?" Asked the other twin.

"I'm in the order, helping against Voldemort."

"But you are what seventeen? How come we are not allowed?" George said.

"Maybe because I already graduated top of my class and I was already interning at my ministry when they said I should come to London to help with the situation. And I'm going to be eighteen next month." Ok maybe shouldn't have said that. Sirius looked like Christmas came early. He remembered. Damn.

"You should stay for dinner, what do you think Remus?" Sirius said.

"That's sweet of you but I can't. I have to head home now."

"Oh please stay. We would love it if you stayed." Harry said.

I was tempted to stay with him but Aaron was waiting for me. He needs me. It's been days since I've gotten to spend some quality time with him.

"Maybe next time. I should leave. It was nice meeting all of you."

I went for the door and saw Sirius and Remus behind me. I raised my eyebrows.

"We are just escorting you to the door." He said while walking me to the door."hey how did this painting turn"

"Oh that was me. It was gonna screech and I didn't want my ears damaged early."

"Thanks I've been trying to do that for a couple months now." Sirius said.

"Your welcome".

They asked me how I was gonna go and I replied in my car. I removed the cloaking spell and put my bag in my car. I turned to the pair and hugged them.

"We will miss you. Why can't you stay.?"

"I need to be there at home plus no offence but it's a bit too crowded for my taste and I need privacy."

"Ok fine but you will be there for next meeting right?" Remus asked.

"Ya I mean if I'm not too busy. If you need me at any point ask Severus about me or give him the message if you have any for me."

"That's something I wanted to ask too. How do you know him?" Remus asked.

"That's a story for another day. And remember don't tell anyone about me ok especially Harry. I don't want him to know yet." I drove away.

I returned home after that. I parked my car in the garage before walking to the door. Aaron was asleep on the bed since that is where he worked when he was lazy to do it in the study.

I cleared the bed so he could sleep comfortably. I just went downstairs to grab something to eat. My mind was working overtime thinking about what I should be. About Harry and everything else. Just then my phone rang.

"Hello Perci, how are you, dear?"

"Hi Chiron, I'm fine. Everything is cool here. Just people being jackasses. How is camp. Did everything quiet down after I left?"

"It became a mess for me to clean. The seven have made it their mission to find out about you and no one other than Sally, Lord Poseidon, Hecate and Lou and me know what exactly is going on with you. Though Grover keeps giving the knowing looks. He might spill the beans."

"I think I should let him. I mean what's the worst that could happen. They will just be shocked that I have friends and a killer attitude. It's not like I'm coming back for a while. I'm sure it will blow over."

"Ok just think before you do anything. And I know you are capable of wisely taking any decision. Just make sure it doesn't come back to bite you in the butt."

"Ooh Chiron , I didn't think you had it in you. Anyways let Grover know he can tell about me when in Yancy Academy. I got to go."

I felt Aaron hugging me and turned around.

" Had a good nap love ?" I asked.

"I did but missed you a lot. How was your day?"

"You know same old same old. Met Harry. Apparently he is happy to see me and said fudge cleared him of all charges because of me. He wanted me to stay and chat. But I missed you more."

"You know you're going to see him more often. Right ?"

"I don't know Aaron. I mean what about College and my life. I know I agreed to help but I'm confused. Sirius and Remus expect me to be there with them. Don't get me wrong I wanna spend time with them. But I want to be here with you as well. I don't want to miss this, us. At this rate I'm gonna go crazy. Paige will also be disappointed in me. My life is literally spiralling out of control." I rambled and vented my feelings out to him.

"I'm sure you and me will figure this out and don't think about me ok. Just think what you want and what your heart desires."

"My heart desires only you Aaron. No one else. I want to be here with you. I don't want anything else from anyone."

"Sleep over it ok. Till then I'll make something to eat or you want something else altogether" He said rather seductively near my ear giving me chills. I shoved him a little and told him to get me something to eat.

This was what I wanted. But the challenges were many. He was right. I have a tough decision ahead. Harry or him because I'm not going to get both. But there is a whole month for me. So for now I'm gonna enjoy everything here and not think too much of the future.
