Chereads / Harry Potter The Serpent / Chapter 59 - Early Morning Conversations

Chapter 59 - Early Morning Conversations

"Well, you know how I am a muggleborn?" Ted asked, Harry nodded in response. "Well, Andromeda was a pureblood and back when we were in school discrimination was far worse than it is now. Andromeda and I loved each other, and I knew that if I was going to stay with her then I needed to be able to take care of myself, you understand?" He asked.

"I do actually," Harry nodded after a moment. "when I left the Dursley's I decided to get as strong as possible so I wouldn't go through that again."

"Is that why you like magic so much?" Ted asked in a soft voice.

"Partly," Harry admitted. "I just think magic is...brilliant, you know? A lot of people, pureblood and eventually even the muggleborns, just see magic as a simple tool."

"I get what you mean." Ted said as he and Harry exited the basement. "Right, I'm going to go have a shower now, do you want me to make you something to eat before I go?" Ted offered.

"Nah, it's fine." Harry waved him off. "I've got it covered."

"If you're sure," Ted replied. "just do me a favour and don't mess with something if you're not sure about it. I don't need the kitchen nearly being burnt down...again." He added before walking off. Once Ted had gone up the stairs Harry had gone into the kitchen, he was mildly surprised when he saw a plate of food and some juice ready for him, or at least he was until he saw the one responsible for it.

"Thanks Flipsy." Harry nodded to him before taking a seat.

"Yous be welcome Master Potter," Flipsy said. "Flipsy be getting food from Hogwarts." Flipsy added.

"Hmm, why?" Harry asked as Jet slithered down and began eating some meat that that Flipsy had left for him.

"Flipsy is...not be knowing how to use muggle cookie things." Flipsy said in an a embarrassed voice as he gestured to the muggle kitchen appliances.

"I'll teach you later." Harry sighed before he began eating.

"Hello Harry." Andromeda said as she walked into the room. "Oh, you already have food...and a house elf." She added upon noticing Flipsy.

"Oh, sorry, I got him a short while before leaving Hogwarts." Harry replied. "I thought he could come in handy. Once I teach him how to use the microwave and stuff then he can make food for us."

"Hmm," Andromeda looked at the elf. "what's your name?"

"I's be Flipsy, Mistress." Flipsy answered.

"I will teach you how to use the machines but if I tell you that I wish to cook then you will let me do so without complaint, is that understood?" She asked in a stern voice that let Flipsy know there would be no arguments.

"Understood Mistress." Flipsy quickly nodded. "Is...is Mistress be wanting breakfast?" Flipsy offered.

"Hmm, yes, thank you. And make some for my daughter please, she'll be coming down soon." Andromeda replied. Flipsy nodded before popping away. "So Harry, did you have a good night sleep?" She asked.

"Yeah," Harry nodded. "I think I think I just woke up early because I'm not used to living here."

"Hmm, yes, I couldn't sleep properly the first time I slept here. You get used to it."

"Wotcher Harry," Tonks yawned as she came in and sat down next to Harry. She ruffled his hair just before a plate of food and some juice appeared in front of her. "huh?" She blinked.

"I have a house elf." Harry informed her.

"And with that I've decided that I'm going to keep you forever." Tonks said before she dug into her food.

"Alright, let's try here." Andromeda said as she, Tonks and Harry walked into a muggle clothes shop. The trio were out shopping to buy Harry some more muggle clothes since Harry would be staying in the muggle world for some time.

"Hmm, this place looks nice." Harry commented as he began following Tonks and Andromeda around the shop. At first he had protested and insisted that they didn't need to buy him anything but even he knew a loosing battle when he saw one. Jet had wanted to come but Andromeda pointed out how it could lead to many question if Harry was seen with a snake in the muggle world, so Harry had reluctantly left Jet in the care of Flipsy who would pop over with Jet if called.

"Yeah, I haven't been in here in ages." Tonks agreed.

"Hello, may I help you?" A young female worker asked as she walked up to them. Andromeda was wearing white shoes, blue jeans and a simple blouse so she didn't look too odd. Tonks did look a bit odd as she was wearing black boots, black jeans, a yellow shirt and a black leather jacket and her hair was pink and shoulder length. Not the oddest looking person in the muggle world, though in this case it was Harry who drew the most attention despite being dressed in simple white trainers, blue jeans and a grey shirt. The reason for that simply being the scar on his face.

"Ahem." Andromeda coughed, bringing the staring worker back into reality.

"Oh sorry." The woman apologized, looking embarrassed.

"It's fine," Harry waved her off. "you're not the first person to stare."

"I'm still sorry, how did it happen? If you don't mind me asking."

"I got it while beating an evil wizard." Harry said in a casual voice, if he looked at Andromeda then he would see her gaping at him.

"Oh...kay." The woman said after a moment. "Do you need any help?" She offered.

"Not now, but we'll tell you if we do." Tonks replied, the woman nodded before walking off.

"Did you really just tell her that you got it from defeating a dark wizard?" Andromeda sighed.

"What? It's not like she'll believe it." Harry shrugged.

"He makes a good point." Tonks agreed.

"Don't encourage him." Andromeda said, wondering how quickly it would take for her grey hairs to appear.
