Its been a few days since the arrival of my latest customer, and I have seen return of regulars like Kofuku-san and Milim seems to like coming here, for the sweets she said and the fact it was her besties domain connected to her own castle in the city of the forgotten dragon.
Then there was the skeleton, Momonga or Ainz Ooal Gown, he is now called by. He became a favorite of mine and he apparently loved the establishment as it was 'the one place he could relax and let down the mask'. Apparently, his subordinates viewed him as a perfect being, and he is 'living' up to their expectations.
"It's okay Ainz" I said to him as he sat down with a pot of tea on the table. "You're a good friend" he muttered as I consoled him about his daily duties. Kofuku, on the other hand, had become more fearsome than original. "Then, I used the gnosis to send the Ayakashi to the after life" she regaled her adventures with a fellow god, Bishamonten. Apparently, the gnosis boosted her divine power over wind and omens, and even transformed her estate into sovereign territory.
Today though, I felt bored staying couped up inside the place. 'Man, Im bored' I thought as I was chillaxing in my house. The shop was closed for now, and I was just done cultivating near a mountain of spirit stones. I mean, an endless mountain of spirit stones is just the right place for cultivation.
"You know what, lets go somewhere" I said to myself as I decided to open the door in London and began to explore the surroundings. Like I thought, London is a dreary place where all souls go to die.
Though, It was a fun place to walk around though, and I had a good amount of pounds on me to cover some expenses if I wanted to buy something. As I was wondering the London streets I was bumped into by a little boy. He had umkempt, jet black hair. He had eyes that were a nice shade of green and round spectacles on his faces.
What struck me the most was his scar on the side of his forehead shaped like a lightning bolt. The other thing that struck me was the tiny sense of magical power and evil spirits in his head. My cultivation training was enhancing my sense beyond the human ken, and it gave weird results when I looked at people.
"whoa there little one" I said as he slowly got up from the wet pavement, his disorderly hair sticking to his face. "Sorry sir" he said as he stood fully up, his clothes too baggy for someone of his size. In fact, he looked a little too small and something about him was flickering in the back of my mind.
"What's your name?" I asked the young boy. He looked up to me, as if debating giving his name was really worth it, and he ended up giving me his name. "Harry, Harry Potter sir" he answered as the flickering thoughts in the back of my mind suddenly clicked into place. 'Harry potter, so that's the world we landed in huh' I thought to myself. I then looked around as I tried to find his relatives but found none. "Where are your relatives?" I asked him
"I don't know, they left me here" he said and my gut suddenly went into knots hearing those words. I sighed as I extended my hand to the child. "Would you like to wait at my shops while I attempt to find them?" I asked him as his eyes widened and he nodded profusely. We went back to the Treasure spot and I prepared a hot cup of tea for the young lad.
"Hey Eve, can you find some dry clothes for him?" I said to the vault, and Harry looked at me like I was crazy. However, his look turned into one of surprise as a set of cloths appeared that matched his size. "What was that Mister?!" shouted Harry with deserved surprise. "Magic" I said as it was an easy explanation for anything that was not science bound. 'Nut magic doesn't exist, does it?" he asked, unsure.
I realized that this was a younger Harry, and his knowledge of the magic world was quite dull. "Hey Harry, how old are you?" I asked as he gave me the number 10. "Harry, have you ever done anything that you couldn't explain when you were angry, or scared?" I asked as he went into a look of contemplation. "I guess so, I was able to jump all the way to my school roof once" he muttered as I mustered a grin.
However, he also realized he should't have talked about magic and clamped his mouth shut. I sat next to him, noticing the reaction and said "You know Harry, being a wizard is fun but your family will never except you. How about this, you come live with me and we can learn magic together?" I offered him as he looked at me with wide eyes and he started to bawl.
I gave him a hug, something I knew he was sorely lacking in his life. "Wo-would you really take me in?" he uttered in-between sobs as my shoulder was now definitely wet. "Of course, and you can get all the delicious food you could ever want and even some friendly relatives" I said to him, not mentioning said relatives was a literal god and a demon lord . After a little while, he seemed to tire out and fell asleep.
I put him over my shoulder and carried him over to my home space. I added an extra room filled with toys, books, etc, that any boy would like. I made sure he was comfortable as I left. 'I did not plan for that, yet I think my life is going to get a lot more interesting' I thought as I stepped into my own room and collapsed, waiting for the days to come.
A/N: Not gonna lie, I did not plan for the adoption of Harry Potter, but I think a great story can be made. I had plans to adopt other ones but this one stuck. Hope you guys enjoy!
