on Griphook. Harry noticed.
"Xi-Wong," Harry said softly in the empty hall, "I trust Griphook with my life."
Xi-Wong frowned just slightly but seemed to leave it as his eyes didn't stray over the goblin anymore. Griphook led them around a few more turns before stepping into a room. Inside were a few desks with a couple people sitting behind them doing paperwork and the like. They all looked up and stared as the three entered. Griphook led him to the far desk and set the earring down on a stack of paper.
"I need a translation spell on that." Griphook ordered curtly.
The man blinked but drew his wand.
"I thought you had cast the spell." Harry said as he watched.
"No, Translation spells are not as simple as saying the incantation and then knowing the language. The spell is essential the memory of a language. The caster must know the language as the spell pulls the memory of the language from his mind."
Harry blinked in surprise.
"So if you wanted to be able to understand Japanese you'd have to have someone who knew Japanese cast it?"
"Correct."
"Huh." Harry said, a bit surprised at this new knowledge.
The man held the earring back out and Harry took it, putting it back in his ear.
"What language was that one?" He asked as Griphook led him from the room.
"Bulgarian."
Then the goblin shoved another portkey in his hand. Xi-Wong barely had time to grab him before they were gone in a swirl only to land right outside Harry's house, just past the ward line.
"Well, this is the place I call home." Harry said cheerfully.
The demon tilted his head and eyed the flowers and trees as the passed by. Harry threw the door open in a burst of energy and jumped into his house.
"I'm home!" he crowed happily.
Loraine, who had been on the couch, threw herself at him, squealing happily. Xi-Wong must have seen her as harmless as he did nothing to stop her. Harry spun the smaller woman around in a circle. Even though he was small he was not weak and she was smaller then him.
"You look so much better." She cooed, looking him over.
"Harry's back!?"
Dante came sprinting from the stairs, a wide grin on his face. He didn't even notice the silent Xi-Wong as he crushed Harry in a hug, cooing over him.
"We were worried." He cooed. "How did it go? Do you have your magic back?"
"Yes." Harry smiled.
The demon finally set him down and noticed the other. He tensed slightly.
"Who is this?" He asked with a frown.
"This is Xi-Wong. He's a demon I summoned."
"From the Xico clan?" Dante asked eyeing his markings.
"Yes. I was banished." Xi-Wong said simply.
A sharp cry interrupted them all and making Dante step aside as Hedwig dive bombed Harry and fussed over him. Harry laughed and stroked his owl as she preened his hair, scanning every inch of him.
"Hello Hedwig dear. Where is Keiruim?"
"We haven't seen the bird lately. He and Hedwig practically vanished when you left." Dante said.
"Ah. And where are Valentine, Harold, and Dudley?"
"They headed for the World Cup Already. Said they'd set up camp." Dante shrugged.
Harry nodded and then glanced at Hedwig who barked at him and made a movement to show she wanted him to follow.
"I'll be back in a few minutes. I'll see what Hedwig wants and then grab my stuff."
He followed Hedwig out the half opened back door and into his sunny garden. Xi-Wong followed closely, eyeing everything but more relaxed then in Gringotts. Hedwig led him to the greenhouse where she slipped in the half opened door. Harry frowned remembering having locked it before leaving but shrugged. He stepped in and was immediately assaulted by the flower Faeries. He pushed them away softly and dodged them to follow Hedwig to the back of the greenhouse.
He found himself staring in surprise at the plant hanging from the ceiling. This plant was one of the ones he'd gotten that ate his magic to grow. It had grown wildly. It had branched into hundreds of strong vines, each holding many flowers of a delicate blue in color. The whole thing though had shaped itself into a vine-y sphere that hung from the ceiling. A small opening was what Hedwig had slipped into. Harry peered in and found the inside was hollow like a giant birdhouse.
He gasped in surprise. Inside was Keiruim curled up happily. Hedwig prodded the Colored Thief and it hesitantly moved. Six pure white eggs lay clustered together. Harry ogled them for a moment.
"Hedwig?" He asked breathlessly.
She barked happily and cuddled against Keiruim, laying over the eggs protectively. Harry softly left the two alone, grinning widely.
"She's having chicks." He told Xi-Wong happily.
The demon just tilted his head slightly.
Harry happily skipped back into the house and to his room where he hummed while tossing things in his red satchel. Uncaring of Xi-Wong who stood next to his door he shed his clothes and changed into a pair of black slacks and a red button up silk shirt that had a black raven stitched on the breast. He grabbed his red fedora and pulled it on before glancing at Xi-Wong.
He dug through his dresser a moment and came up with a pair of dark green shades that matched a couple strands of his hair.
"Here, this will hide your eyes. They may make people uneasy and I don't want you attacked."
Xi-Wong examined them a moment then slid them on awkwardly. Harry smiled.
"Oh, and here, change into this."
He spelled a plain purple shirt and some loose pants to fit the man. The demon changed without prodding and Harry folded his clothes, setting them in one of his extra bags and hanging said bag to him telling him to keep it.
Then Harry grabbed the rucksack and tent he still had from his trip to Egypt and strapped them on his back.
"That's everything. Before we head to the World Cup we'll head to the muggle mall nearby. We can get you some clothes."
He led the demon downstairs where Dante was practically bouncing up and down while waiting. When he saw Harry he launched himself at him.
