James sat in the tub with a wash clothe over his eyes. He sighed as the magical properties in the tub worked on his back. He worked hard to take steady breathes in though his nose and out of his mouth as pin pricks of annoying pains worked on his nerve endings.
"James!" Mara spoke his name.
"Go away!" James said bluntly in a grunt voice.
"How bad is it?" Harry said.
James stiffened. "Oh yeah. There is a lot of that. But at least my scar will be more cooler then dad's one. What did you bring me?" He said because he couldn't ask James why he was here. It was dangerous enough for them.
"Of course I bought you something and I took care of that matter you asked me to handle." Harry said.
James took the clothe off his eyes to see first Mara dressed in a black T-shirt and tiny pink shorts on. Her blond hair was braided up his neck in a pink and black spotted bow. She had a look on her face like was looking for a fight but s
She didn't want to get hit by verbal blow from James. He glanced over toward Harry who was holding a large clear beer mug of orange liquid and candy wrapping packages.
"Is that a wonderful orange liquid what I think it is?" James asked as Harry started laughing nodding his head bringing the tray to him.
"The finest butter beer around straight from the Leaky Cauldron. I even brought you two boxes for your up and coming nuptials."
"You are my hero, Grandpa Harry." James said reaching for the beer mug and sat up in the tub between his teeth to take a long drink. He smiled and toasted Harry. "Thank you for the favor did for me."
Harry nodded. "It was honor to help you. I heard about the trouble you and your dad got into with a far eastern wizard."
James nodded setting his beer mug down on the floor. Mara silently grabbed up one of the chocolates. A dark chocolate frog jumped up but James caught the frog quickly and bit into it tasting a the flavors. "Caramel and dark chocolate. My favorites."
Harry nodded with a grin. "I know. I saw your new dad's sword. It's pretty cool and I even heard about the flight
he took up into the sky. I only wished I had been around to see it. We are living in an interesting time. I even heard about your flight into the sky."
James shook his head. "I didn't fly I just used an apparition a whole lot of times to get to dad when he won the sword after losing his energy. I caught a blast of whatever magic that asshole used on my back."
Harry grunted and nodded over toward Mara. "It was lucky you had your girl with you to catch your dad before took a face plant on his own land. Your a lucky bloke mate."
James snorted and grinned at Henry. "You would right about that my friend." He said and looked at Mara. "Would you mind leaving a bit. I got to talk to my grandpa Harry for a bit alone about something."
"Your still angry at me. I told you I'm willing to explain in detail why I was working with our enemies. Will you give me a chance."
James shook his head. "I don't care about that right now. I need you to get the hell out of here because I got to talk with my grandpa Harry about some business."
"So that means your going to talk about me behind my back. Why don't you talk to me face to face. I can take it whatever little thing you got to say." Mara said.
"Because, your going to pass out on the floor and maybe hit your head when Grandpa Harry shows me what I asked him to get me. So instead of going through all that why don't you just leave and comeback later and we can talk later."
Mara stared at him and then she looked at a small box on the tray and got up quickly turned for the door and then back looking at the box and turned again to quickly left out of the door. Henry closed the door locking it and sat down on the toilet seat.
James took the box and cracked it open. He looked at the small diamond ring frowning at it. "Damn. That's what two months of work and side gigs will get you. We still haven't gotten the new house ready."
"Don't worry about the house mate. Your got your father me working with you to get it done on time before the wedding. Look at it like this. My Ginny and I didn't even have a house or ring. I just started with Aurors and the clean up after Riddle was gone was major. You got a good start. How much did you see regarding your girl and her past?"
"I saw her running for her life while some psycho dark wizard tried to strangle her because he wouldn't tell her some information or whatever about me. I'll handle him and every other jackass that's rolling with him. It is what it is."
James said and again reached for his beer mug on the floor taking it up and took a drink.
Harry nodded. "Believe it or not but I understand completely where your coming from."
James snorted. "Oh I know you understand. But you got something to say to me. Let's hear it."
"Have seen what happened to me yet? If not do you want to talk about it?" Harry asked bluntly.
James shook his head. "No on both questions. I don't need to know and I don't want you to relieve whatever it was that happened by telling me. There is something I want to know though I don't think you'll have an answer to my question."
"I might surprise. I've lived long enough to learn a little bit more then I knew coming into the game." Harry said.
"The sword wasn't just a gift. Master Chen said it was like marker for shift in how things used to be how they would become. Dad is first person lead the magi here into skies of a new era."
Harry nodded his head. "So did this Mr Chen give you an idea what the bloody hell Angus is supposed to do?"
James frowned and scratched his chin. "He said that when dad got the sword he had to rise up or fly up to the skies and bring the magi and my generation up to the next level of magical power. He said this is his time and that basically his efforts would lead to the rest of the magi to a new magical era sense the invention of the wand."
Harry nodded. "That's sounds like a lot of stuff to put on Angus' shoulders. So does that mean he's the crash test dummy to whatever the hell is about to happened?"
"What?" James said.
"You know." Harry motioned with his hand. "You know Angus is going to be the one to mess up and crash test how your going to get up to the top of whatever your Mr. Chen said needed to be done and then you'll be cleaning up and having a proper road."
James shook with laughter but he nodded his head. "Yeah. That's what that means. Damn. It's a shame. Dad is about to banged up a lot before he becomes a supreme wizard."
Harry smiled but he nodded his head. "I expect so. He's out back and he's been practising flying into the sky. It's mind blowing to me. I'm used to flying with a broom or a motorcycle at least. This new way of flight has me shaking
My head. I can't manage to wrap my head around it but I have to say it's wicked and exciting to look at though I do feel left behind."
James frowned and opened his mouth but Harry put another frog chocolate inside. He closed mouth and chewed glaring at him.
Harry pointed a finger at him. "It's just a feeling. It don't hurt me none seeing my children' children rising above me. Both of you and Angus are amazing. I just feel a little sore that my son couldn't have been here to see you blokes rise to the skies like you said. How the hell did you manage to mange to fly up to your dad like you did using apparition?"
"I didn't fly at all bro. I just had to keep pushing myself. I'm to make just jumps until I could finally reach him but Mara is still better at it then me. All she had to do was focus on him and then grabbed him up. I still need to improve on my apparition."
Harry stared at him. "You are a weird bloke. You still can't see who you are yet."
James blinked studied his face. "What the hell are you talking about?!"
Harry shook his head. "Nothing. Just eat another chocolate."
