Chapter 21 - Encounter

"Hey lil' Fauxii"

A sound of a childish boy sound out of the third room in the inn of Leaky Cauldron.

Elliot is seen as he carefully brush his hands through the short fur that his panther, Faux, has. It was soothing in the feeling and his pet is just exactly like how having a dog would feel.

He has been building some connection to his pet, after all, panthers are exotic pets known to be wild if not treated properly.

But now, when they first met, Faux wasn't that much of an annoying animal that constantly bothers its owner. Instead, he was kind of a very shy one, nevertheless, unlike now, he's used to his owner Elliot. Though not that much extravagant treatment are given, like special foods nor cherishing, Faux became used to it as he would often see his owner constantly training every minute of every day.

But still, in the future, Faux will be definitely be useful. For some certain reason...

- November 9, 1990 -

- Wizarding World of England, Diagon Alley -

- 6:25 AM -

Currently, Elliot, all dressed black, starting off with his sleeveless muggle shirt, shorts partnered with his shoes and a sock with two linings, lastly, his black robe with the hood, packs up some major things like his diary and all, he will go now to the outside world again. He really doesn't need to prepare that much, he's sure that there is the ATM Machine just near really the Charing Cross Road, the same machine he used before when getting money as it was also the time his money was depleted. And then, maybe pick up a newspaper to see the current happenings.

"Faux," Elliot called onto his pet, who obediently followed his hands, suddenly jumping onto his shoulder, surprising Elliot.

Great, now he got a Pokémon.

"I'm gonna go away for awhile, behave aight?"

Elliot states, as Faux purred onto him going down to the ground.

Elliot waves goodbye as Faux licks his feet for awhile.

Now then, Elliot got downstairs greeting the old man innkeeper, Tom, as they exchanged each other some good thoughts.

Before exiting the inn, Elliot first took some reminders to Tom.

"Mr. Tom, I'll be going for a while, perhaps, take some care of my room.." Elliot tried his best to ask politely, and Tom just happily responded.

"Ah! Of course, best service here at Leaky Cauldron! Don't worry child, I will ask someone to cast a locking spell on it."

Elliot greatfully nodded going to the front door where there, opening it, he's now yet back again at the muggle world.

He covered his face as even though with the hot temperature early morning, he puts on the hood with the robe completely covering his body and some parts of his upper face.

He would be surely be suspicious looking, but then, they don't know who's wearing it anyway. He goes off going to the streets of Charing Cross Road, searching for ATM machines somewhere. With his bank card, whom Arch stored in the diary before he....disappeared. Well, he can use that.

He was rushing for the time, by the time afternoon hits, he will be out of the inn, and his items in the room will be revealed in the lower stairs, as it will be dispersed out of the room. With those precious items, would take lengths to get those again.

The surrounding was lively as usual.

As expected, people started staring at Elliot's suspicious looks. But Elliot brush that off and continued on.

But arriving, it stands the yet a paper was attached into the screen.

"Out of service"

Elliot saw this, troubled.

Does that mean he needs to venture off there, faraway?

Sure he is..

He was not getting anywhere, he doesn't know really where exactly he should go at, at this point. It might led to a social interaction, a thing he doesn't like at all.

Elliot, in the middle of going around in London, spots a certain shining hair just beside a dark alleyway, totally not-so suspicious. Actually, it indeed is, but that hair just reminds him of a peculiar person.

He was going close to there anyway, so discreetly, the step of Elliot was noticeably lighter yet faster. He was taking some peek at the certain alleyway, where in the shadows he saw before, two guys, one short, one tall.

Closing to the destination, just beside the side way, directly to the alleyway, he continued walking normally and innocently. Then going slow as he reaches near the spot, he took a glance or two-

"Agh!"

A very-dramatic voice reaches Elliot's ears as he was caught off guard, bumping into a very tall man, but not that tall as his master, because seriously, it would be a rare chance to meet a taller one anyway.

Judging from his suit, partnered with several other accessories, he was totally looking rich, yet, he had the vibes of a body guard. His hair is gel-ed onto his back, shining under the morning sun. And shades to top it off. It's like the looks that Arch's company, Night, bodyguards would pull off.

"Young man.. can you be at least aware of your surroundings?" His dramatic voice earlier changed, instead, was very low like a growling lion. Probably trying to chase him off.

The man, expected for the 'teenager', of what he thought, would run with fear. Contradictory, the certain person didn't move, instead look at him like a preying.. beast?

But just a second he definitely felt that whole dozens of bloodlust in that glint, the man laugh at his thought.

'What.. Me? Pft, scared?'

It was because as Elliot displayed an innocent face after accidentally letting out of his true self.

"Hello Sir, Can I ask please if you know there's a near ATM machine somewhere?"

Elliot turned on the side he never showed to anyone, never.

His cute mode.

With that looks, he almost look like a bunny that can be just eaten in seconds. With that, the man was flabbergasted, suddenly flustered in his cute movements.

" Ah, eh? O-oh, just in the other side o-of that building.." Answered back the flustered man as Elliot secretly smiled.

He smirked, it was fortunately near, well, where he is now, but from Leaky Cauldron, it's definitely considered far.

"Oh, thank you Sir.. " Elliot bowed politely, smiling at him half heartedly.

The man goes back to the alleyway. Maybe he's the guy that was with the shining white head before.

Now that he's gotten into that situation, he didn't bothered with the alleyway or anything, and got to the other side of the tall building.

Took some minutes and all, but there, he found the machine he's been longing to go to.

Getting out his precious card, he jumpily approached the machine.

The money, where only 2k euro are only left.

(if your asking why 2k only when he had about 11 that is left, a month already passed last chapter)

He groaned painfully, this were his last money. With this, he will get 650 galleons estimating.

He didn't think this through much. Now he's gotten into this trouble.

Maybe it's time for him to move to a cheap apartment now. There are really no good apartment near the Leaky Cauldron, in the muggle world he mean. And it would also take him his precious money and time to get to another stable location to live into. Now he felt being a fisherman before was easier and more fun.

He sighed, getting his money and storing it safely into his bag.

He looked around for anyone around, only few were there so not that much of a possibility he will be found suspicious.

He turned around, going back exhausted to the Leaky Cauldron.

Later, it was nearing afternoon. 11:58 AM.

But then, he's already at the inn anyway. He already spoke to Tom about only having to exchange his money. He agrees as it's only a small matter.

Elliot goes to the back, three up, two across. And the magical bricks opened up once again.

He stepped in getting off his robe, shining under the sun. Heading to the Gringotts Bank apathetic, a hard shoulder once again touched his.

Elliot's face was nonchalant, and just brushed it off not caring.

Well, sad to say Elliot, the other one cares.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

After the encounters with some nobles at the certain place, the certain hair gel-ed man obediently followed the special heir he's guarding.

"Sire, are you sure you don't want to go somewhere around first?" He spoked in a gentle caring and concerned manner. After all, if he doesn't, he's done.

"Hmp? You dare question me?" The white haired heir madly waved as he nags at his guard.

"Ugh, no one dares to stay at this- filthy, muggle world..." The heir, a boy, states, despise of his surroundings.

The man, his guard, shivered.

He didn't sign up for this! Just to be ordered by an arrogant pureblood.

He grunts silently, as they arrived back at the Wizarding World, as Tom, kindly greeted them.

"Hello, Young Master Draco"

The boy, Draco, looked at him disgusted, as they come to the back, the guard unlocking the brick wall.

After Draco got his favored ice cream, they were to go back to the Knockturn Alley, where the boy's father is supposed to be.

Until, the guard once again bump into a person, already twice for the day.

And hell, same person even.

The robe of Elliot off, the man immediately know it was him because of those eyes that were clearly seen under the sunlight.

The man furrowed his eyes, baffled. He falled for this kid, who is actually a wizard?

"Hey, you dare bump into me twice?" The man, after the anger stocking because of the boy he's guarding, he let his anger go to the boy he bumped, Elliot.

He lifts up Elliot as he dirtily, well, according to Elliot, touch his collarbone. As Elliot's feet is no where on the ground.

They were in an alley where there's not that much of people, it's the one supposedly leading to Knockturn Alley. Gringotts is just exactly beside Knockturn, and coincidently, Elliot just managed to meet the man again.

Elliot, pissed early in the morning regarding money issues, doesn't have time to take in this too.

"Get your f i l t h y hands, off me"

Growled Elliot with his new found deep voice.

"Huh? You dare speak to me like that, HUH?" The man raises his voice, more louder than before.

Draco, surprised of the situation, backs off quickly like the coward he is.

"What is this? If you have some matters, finish it right now you incompetent man!" Draco loudly shouted in his pre puberty voice. How cute, small yet wild motherf--

Elliot annoyed now to the fullest, break the man's hold just by a simple movement. This is the fruit of his training now.

The man gritting his teeth in anger, quickly brought out his wand casting a spell,

"Vulneravi!"

A spell, blinded with light, shaped like arrows, hits Elliot's stomach as it cause a small hole into his defined abs. It bled a lot even though small.

Elliot's eye widen, but not fear, yet amusement.

He grins, slowly turning into a psychotic laugh.

The man, was confused as well as Draco is.

"haha... HAHHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA"

"Have you gone mad!?"

The man asked in frustration.

Elliot's laugh ended, his head going down as a wide smile was imprinted on his delicate face.

Draco and the man backed off.

'Magic sure is enlightening' Thought Elliot going back to his state.

He didn't trained any spells nor jinx, hex, curse, charms , you name it. Magic is on another level.

But Elliot was feeling rusty now after with months of no fighting with his master. His martial arts isn't to be taken lightly off.

His laughing stops, as the man gets ready in his pose.

It seems he was casting another spell.

Magic are usually long-distance, while melee are of course short distance. But Elliot didn't worry, he just had to be close to him before he cast a spell.

In a matter of second, the man pointing his wand, supposedly at a boy, is now pointing at no one, as Elliot got on his lower body punching his solar plexus, with his hard rock fist enhanced with his energy core.

He now activated his "Enhancer Mode".

Auras of blue surrounds his body, meaning his energy is being let out and now enhancing his body.

The man widens in sudden fear for a second, grunting in loud voicing, whaling his heart out.

"AGHKK!"

He coughs blood, as well as Elliot. Vulneravi, in Latin, I hurt, is an offensive spell like an arrow like shaped energy, hurts the enemy in a certain direction. Exactly like a gun letting out a bullet or a bow shooting out an arrow.

Elliot continued still, his body hyped up after long days of no fights. Punching the crucial parts of a humans body, wizard or not.

Uvula

Testicles

Ribs

Navel

Nasal Bones

Lower Abdomen

Each one, clearly punching it in full strength, enhanced with his energy.

And there, unconsciously, hes gone to far as Draco backed away in fear, while the man almost unconscious puking out blood.

"a-agh.. w-wait!"

The man whimpers, lowering his head in fear.

"d-don't kill me! he-he's Draco! a Malfoy!"

The man, at his last words, threatened still.

Elliot, he never did this but he had no hesitation of killing this anyone.

"Oh yeah? who told you in going to kill him? I kill you? What? Do Malfoys gonna care?" Elliot laughed, to the man's stupidity reaching up to this point.

"H-hey, don't kill me! I-I swear, I will never tell anyone about this!" Draco,in the corner, begged yet with superiority still.

Elliot, remembering back, his phrase 'My father will hear about this', approached Draco cornering him with his tall height. Albeit with their same age.

His built fully covered what they speak, as Elliot smiling threatened.

"really? and so? I can kill you just right here right now, and then no one still will be able to tell it.."

Draco, shakes in fear, almost crying out.

"T-then! I will do anything! Anything you wish!"

Draco proposes for his life, his pride crushed.

"..... Anything?"
