I See You Harry

Explaining and the first day

And waking up to a slap on the face.

"Fucking owch!!" Harry yelped, as he immediately sat upright and glared without seeing who he was glaring at. Once Harry realized that he was looking at Grace's worried face he stopped glaring. "Oh Grace I'm sorry you startled me."

"I startled you! Where did you go! Is the AVATAR in a safe place? Are you alright?" Grace's questions fell out of her mouth rapidly, her face pale and eyes wide.

"Grace I'm fine, the AVATAR is fine. And you are not going to believe where I am." Harry smirked smugly, as Grace gained the color back into her face in relief.

***************************

After explaining everything to Grace, Harry went to the Drivers cabin common space where the bunk rooms were. Where he was then attacked by a taller blonde woman who stuffed his face into her rather large breasts.

"Um... Niki please I can't breathe!" Harry exclaimed, trying to pull his face away from her chest. Niki realizing she was suffocating him let go and sat with Harry on the couch to talk, but not before giving him a fierce punch to his arm.

"Ow! What is it with you people punching me?" Harry cried, rubbing the oncoming bruise on his arm.

"I'm so glad you're okay Harry! Do you know how scared we were! I thought the Thantor had killed you... I was so scared and I thought I'd never talk to you again!" Niki started crying, salt water rolling down her slightly chubby cheeks. Harry couldn't help but compare her to Hermine for just a second as he watched her cry. It had been a pretty long time since someone had reminded him of Hermine.

"Hey I'm fine Niki!" Harry wraps her into another hug before getting behind her to rebraid and reloop her hair. Which had been loosened and tangled in her stressed state. Niki calmed down while Harry rebraided her hair and finally stopped crying once he finished.

"Do you want to lay with me tonight?" Harry asks, remembering when he and Luna would lay together holding each other as the world burned around us.

"Yes please," she sniffled, wiping her wet eyes and they went to the bunk room to sleep; not waking till Grace came to wake Harry for the early start to his first day with the Na'vi.

*****************************

Opening sleepy eyes at Tsu'tey's gentle probe was not particularly unpleasant. Until he opened his mouth. "Come on, you must get up." His tone was commanding and the thought of disobedience was very far from Harry's mind.

"I'm up, I'm up." Harry said slowly climbing up out of the hammock and they quietly walked out of hometree and into a clearing not too far away, while Harry looked around for his forest buddy. Luckily Harry saw Flying-leap with a group of young children on their way out, they were giving her collar like necklaces and small dangly armbands that wouldn't slip down her six legs. They all looked like they were having fun so Harry didn't disturb them. The clearing they went to was larger than Harry thought it was going to be. It had several strategically placed and obviously handmade targets, along with several apprentices paired with older Na'vi with bows to learn how to shoot their own arrows. What Harry noticed most of all; was that he seemed to be the oldest one here.

"First thing I think we should work on is your aim." Tsu'tey said, grabbing a worn bow and a few arrows out of a basket before handing the bow to Harry, while holding on to the arrows to look them over, then going a bit away to set up a target.

"My aim? Do you want me to shoot this bow?" Harry asked, holding the bow parallel to the ground by the string.

"Yes, it was the first thing I learned when I came of age. After you learn to shoot you will learn to ride. And finally after that to hunt. Then after your first clean kill you may present yourself for your Iknimaya. After that you will officially be one of us." Tsu'tey's tone had dropped into what Harry remembered hearing from his old professors. "Also, you're holding the bow wrong..." Tsu'tey's teaching tone dropped, picking up into something akin to amusement.
