Out of and Within the Shadows

Chapter 44 "Out of and Within the Shadows"

Another bitter sweet good bye to his father but he knew he had to go or loose his magic which was not only apart of him but apart of his soul. At least he had his friends to ease the pain of separation. Harry was lying down on the bench seat his head in Luna's lap with Shadow lying on his chest in mini Kitten form. Shadows powers were developing rapidly now he could change his size to that of regular earth cat then change to that of a Panther. Malfoy and Neville were playing wizard's chess on the floor Daphne, Susan and Hermione were on the bench across from him going over the homework they did over the summer. The twins had yet to show up but did text that they were on the train but were babysitting their younger siblings in the form following them around making sure that they don't get into trouble or harass Harry.

Over the summer the twin were mostly at Frigga's Meadow in Harry's lab. They were in constant communication with Harry through Jarvis. They totally freaked out when Harry was stabbed but they were trapped in Scotland unable to be by their adopted brother's side. Only after multiple re assurances from Jarvis and a video chat with Harry did they calm down. Harry had to talk them down from creating an illegal Port-key to Wakanda, and then he had them swear to keep the incident a secret from the others. That was not a pretty argument, but the twins conceded for the well being of their Prince.

"Harry, tell us more about your squib friend. Does he really have super powers?" Susan questioned.

"Well, Peter encountered a spider that was altered by muggle science. He survived by the bit of magic in his core. So the mixture of magic and science gave him his powers. We go out at night and we explore the city. He comes by the tower and we run the obstacle course to see who's faster or stronger." The young Prince opened his locket and sealed the cabin door to keep out intruders.

"Do you have any pictures?" Daphne asked.

"That didn't take long. Greengrass you are drooling before Lokison has pulled out his phone." Malfoy rolled his eyes.

"Oh shut it Draco. I am tired these Pure Blood boys trying to impress my family for an alliance. Now that I have turned thirteen other Pure Blood families are trying to chat up my parents up for a marriage contract. I told my father if he tries to sign me up for one I will leave and take the family fortune with me. King Jareth helped this summer to tie up the family gold through some old Greengrass Family laws that fell out of disuse. About four generations ago the Lord Greengrass want his son to be the heir when it was the female line naturally inherits. He hid the heir laws well from the family but the Goblins knew where to look. Well with a few inheritance forms signed by me the eldest female of the Greengrass current children, I returned it to the female line."

"Well Pete is three years older then us and he's a bit shy around girls. Here is us in the Labs at SHEILD. He's is brilliant with muggle science and muggle tech." Harry passed his phone to the girls.

"He's cute." Hermione said taking look over Susan's shoulder.

"Better not let Fred hear you say that." Neville snickered as his knight took out Draco's bishop.

"Mind your own business you nosy Lion." Hermione blushed. She and Fred had been texting and emailing all summer. She liked the older Weasley twin; he was smart funny and really listened to her. Maybe they had a connection that could be something more but for now they were taking things slow.

"You can meet him at Christmas break. My Parents are going to throw a party at Frigga's Meadow to ring in the New Year." Harry smiled.

"That sounds like fun. I can't wait." Daphne squealed already mentally going through her wardrobe.

Suddenly the train stopped and immediately the MAGIC students were up and on their guard. The air around them became cold and a fog filled the train. This could only be one thing. There was only creature that could make a Jotun feel cold.
