Oh." Harry said frowning. "And who is Ruzic? You looked shocked at his name."
"He is the king of demons. He rules the entire Demon Realm."
Harry's eyes flew wide with surprise.
"What?"
"I wouldn't worry about it." Harold said, tone stern. "Or even contemplate it until you are fully trained."
Harry nodded quickly not wanting to get tangled up with a demon lord of all things.
"Well." Harold said looking to the summoning circle, which Harry realized had faded away. "We might as well start your lessons now. Since you'll only be focusing on demons this will cut a lot of the more mundane things out. We can start our lessons on Beast Demons and their summonings. If it goes well we can try your first summoning within a week."
"That fast?"
"Necromancy isn't a complicated thing until you start learning about spirit summoning. It all just takes a lot of power and strong will and some common sense Most of which you have in abundance."
.-.
*Ding Dong*
Harry glanced to the door and Harold blinked. Harry quickly hopped up and hurried to the door. He opened it come face to face with a mean looking man who was only his height. Harry's face brightened.
"Come in Griphook."
The goblin sneered and stepped in, dropping the disguising illusion as the door shut. Harold blinked at the goblin.
"Would you like some tea or cake?"
Griphook sent him another sneer and Harry grinned and waved him to a chair and he quickly retrieved an oatmeal cookie and some green tea. The goblin took them hesitantly and sipped at the tea before nibbling the cookie.
"This is revolting?" He frowned taking another sip.
Harry just nodded cheerfully.
"I didn't know if you would like tea or cake because I haven't sent you any before now. What do goblins eat actually?"
"Our main food is meat. Any kind really. Human is my personal favourite." The goblin smirked.
"I don't believe I can get that anywhere." Harry sighed, eyes twinkling.
Harold appeared to be trying to figure them out and looked fairly edgy sitting beside the disgruntled looking goblin. Harry got the feeling most people didn't like the little beings.
"Do you eat anything else other then meat?"
"We eat root vegetables." The goblin shrugged. "Mushrooms though are a delicacy to us."
Harry nodded cheerfully.
"Do you have a specific drink you like?"
"We have a…coffee like drink we prefer." Griphook allowed.
"You must send me some then or tell me where I can buy one." Harry said.
"Why?" Griphook asked suspiciously.
"Why for my café of course." Harry blinked.
"And why do you need it for your café?"
"For when goblins come of course." Harry said as if it were obvious.
Griphook eyed him silently before giving a slow nod.
"I shall ask a goblin I know who produces the stuff."
"Great. May I ask why you came for a visit today?"
The goblin reached in his coat and pulled out five rings of keys, most rings only holding one key.
"These are for your employees. The cook will get a set of master keys like yours and the servers will get a key to the doors so they may get in but not access anything."
"Thanks." Harry smiled snatching the keys out of the air with his seeker reflexes as they were thrown to him.
"And here." The goblin sneered tossing him a bunch of papers. "Those are a copy of the deed, a copy of a few inspections made by both the ministry and some muggle people. Best hang them in sight of the customers."
Then the goblin grinned and pulled out a crisp looking sheet that seemed even more important.
"And this, this is to stop the ministry from trying to shut you down."
Harry took it gently and looked it over. It was sheet that proclaimed Harry's café was goblin property and if it was repressed it could be considered an act of war against the goblins. Harry whistled, impressed. He didn't understand much legal mumbo jumbo but he knew this was practically a peace treaty and a weapon all wrapped in one for him. Griphook gave a sharp tooth grinned.
"We of course get seven percent of your income from the café for that paper."
"Sure." Harry shrugged.
Harold frowned though at the blind acceptance and eyed the goblin. Luckily he said nothing
"Thank you for the papers." Harry smiled.
Griphook gave a smug smirk, obviously pleased with himself. Then the short goblin slid to his feet pushing the empty tea cup into his hand. Harry blinked as he realized the goblin had eaten all the cookie and drank the tea when Harry hadn't been looking. Harry smiled at him and walked him to the door, waving as he vanished. When he turned back he found Harold looking thoughtful.
"I have never seen a goblin go to such lengths for a human when unasked and not paid, but that was ruder then most goblins I have met."
Harry laughed.
"Griphook is a good friend. And that wasn't rude, that was just Griphook. Goblins are odd but I've gotten used to it." Harry smiled.
slamming the blonde back into her chair and magically strapping her there.
"You can not do anything about this, child." He sneered at her.
It was sad when a fourteen year old felt so much more mature than a twenty three year old that he felt he could address her as a child.
"I'm a Glasgow. I can crush your puny live hood and shop." She sneered, fear leaking through as she tried to stand and failed.
He counted to ten again then he expelled a breath and drew his wand. With a quick couple of flicks her uniform was exchanged with her real cloths and her key was now back in his hand. Harry drew to his full height, which was still a foot shorter then anyone there, but the power behind his glowing green eyes shut the girl up quite quickly.
