Harry Potter And The Hidden Prince

Chapter 2 - How not to be a honest to fault person like Louis.

A year and a half has passed since his agreement with his parents of attending Hogwarts, and since that time, Louis has grown taller physically and his unique features have amplified even more so. His dark blue colour in his hair has turned into a lighter shade to become a velvet blue, and the purple or almost violet has also changed into a royal purple, his caramel coloured eyes has also become a shade lighter as well. As Spring is soon to come to an end in a month time and summer is just around the corner, Louis Huff's an air of defeat knowing that his freedom will soon be restricted when September comes.

After his agreement with his parents, Louis continues going on his mini adventures with his father, never failing to enjoy what he experiences and making new animal friends along the way. He has also figured how to conceal his aura and become invisible with a little help from his father after some struggles at first but eventually got the nick of it. Louis has also found out that he is able to understand the process of spells at an astounding speed which has made him able to create his own spells. These feats brought joy to the Princeton family knowing that their heir of the family, so to say, was able to achieve much at a young age, they are family after all.

These accomplishments however, never really phased the boy for the only things that really moved the boy, was his forest friends lives and well-being threatened that was by wizard hunters, these hunters would casually hunt woodland creatures like they were playing a game of cat and mice. Hence, in order to be even Louis decided to do the same thing, only much more sinister. He would set traps up for the hunters to get caught in and hang them on a tree branch ,afterwards he would let his woodland friends do as they would like to get even with the hunters for a few hours to a day, depending of the level of cruelty they caused. He would then obliviate them with his father's wand for he is to young for his own, and send them off. Leaving the hunters scarred mentally but not physically. However, Justin and Natalia became a bit concerned seeing how Louis dealt with the wizard hunters, this in turn made Natalia address this issue to the ministry of magic and ' suggest ' them to do something about it, after all, her position in the ministry is of a higher standing then most if not all of those in a position of authority. shortly after her concerns were addressed, it took no longer then a week for the activities of the wizard hunters to cease completely.

Louis was free of worry after that incident, and continued his carefree life, not knowing of his mother's actions behind the scenes. Though his father did become suspicious of how the hunters ceased all activities quite suddenly, but decided that keeping his mouth closed was a safer option. As Louis and Justin's mini adventures at the start of spring continue never once stopping, they happened stumbled upon a suitcase enchanted with an undetectable extension charm which greatly surprised the two. The suitcase looked like a typical suitcase on the outside, appearing a tad bit torn and tattered due to wear and tear, however, what caught them by surprise was how identical it was to Newt scamanders suitcase he used to carry around during the Grindelwald situation in his time. Though it looked and was identical to Newt Scamanders, it was not his, for his suitcase was in his house faraway from where they were located at that time. As the duo were deciding on wether or not to report to Natalia or the ministry, after sometime, Justin gave up the idea and decided to entrust the suitcase to Louis seeing as to how he was going to leave for Hogwarts come September, and how reluctant he is to leave his personal library and art hobby supplies at home to collect dust while he would be away. Louis, being the one to receive said suitcase was elated beyond words and profusely thanked his father for it, though they did have to promise to keep it a secret and not let anyone find out about it.

As the end of July came rolling around and the summer continues on, Louis is waiting impatiently for his parents at the front door of the house near the end of the stairs, pacing in circles, biting his lower lip in frustration at his parents slowness. No sooner did his parents exit the room and descend the stairs only to be greeted by the sight of Louis pacing around like a madman at the front door near the steps. The two can only laugh at his eagerness clearly spelled on his face when he notices them at the bottom of the stairs. " Let's go! I want to see what new things diagon alley has stocked up since the last time we went there! " He exclaims to his parents while rushing to the chimney with the jar of floo powder next to it.

As he enters the chimney with floo powder in hand, his parents follow after him as well, " ready? " Natalia asks Louis, who nods his head in response, " one, two, three " all three throw the floo powder toward the floor and exclaim the same words, " Diagon alley! " With that, they vanish in a puff of smoke from their chimney and reappear at the infamous leaky cauldron. After they reappear, Louis who still has not gotten used to such fast and instantaneous transportation, still feels sick and green in the face. Justin, noticing Louis' appearance feels sympathetic about it and decides to let his son take a stroll around diagon alley to help get rid of the travel sickness and explore what new things are in diagon alley, which Natalia has no qualms about, knowing how often Louis goes on his mini adventures in order to make more woodland friends.

On his stroll out in diagon alley, Louis makes himself ' invisible ' by concealing his aura to be able to sneak around and explore more, although, his tendency to do this has increased over the past few months since the deadline had grew dauntingly closer and closer. On the other hand, Louis has taken a liking to Diagon alley since his first ever recent visit, where he found a particular bookstore called, Flourish & blotts, no doubt he found the naming of the shop weird, but his breath was s.u.c.k.e.d out of him the moment he stepped foot inside the shop. Rows on rows on rows of books and bookshelves lined the walls, each book of a different genre and all books filled with knowledge waiting to be shared, it was without a second thought, Louis' beloved shop above all others. His second go-to shop would be a small shop located at a corner of Diagon alley on the right close to Gringotts bank, the shops name is artifex valere which, is a small arts supply shop owned and founded by a close family of madam Malkin who sells magically crafted supplies for the arts, helping to bring works seemingly to life with magic.

Walking around the corner nearby Gringotts bank to Artifex valere, Louis accidentally bumps into who a boy who appears to be his age though slightly malnourished as if he hasn't had a proper meal in months or years. The boy has jet black messy hair and eyes of green that almost glowed, his clothes clearly appears to big for his small thin and pathetic body frame, and his shoes were worn and torn to the point of almost breaking down. ' Well someone has been clearly a good role model as a parent. I mean seriously, anyone with two eyes and a decent working brain can figure out how his treated at his home from seeing his body and garments that he wears. I mean come on, oh? is that a lightning shaped scar I see on his forehead? Hmm, ah yes it is...wait, Harry potter? Why does the ' boy who lived ' look like he's been through a war? The last war that happened, I'm pretty sure he wasn't born during that period, that and he did so call killed what's his face when he reached a year old. ' While Louis was having a silent conversation with himself, the boy in question was stuttering an apology for bumping into Louis, which helped brought him back to reality and accidentally releasing his aura thus dropping his invisibility, " Ah? Right, right, no need to apologize I was after all not watching where I was going as well, your name is Harry potter right? Pleased to meet you on this fine day, my name is- " As he was about to introduce himself, A giant-human came up to the ' saviour ' of wizards, " 'ey 'arry! Almost lost yer 'ere! Watch where yer going 'ext time or yer might 'et lost! " Harry nods his head to make sure the giant-human understands what he is saying, remembering the boy he bumped into who was about to introduce himself he turns his head to face Hagrid and exclaims, " Hagrid! I met this boy who's a really nice person, and he doesn't seem to mind me being the boy who lived! Let m- " as he turns back his head to introduce Louis who's name he still does not knon, he finds that there was not a single person standing at where he was pointing. Harry finding this weird, but knowing he had to get the rest of his school supplies before the day is over, decided to push the matter aside.

Back at Louis, who reappears from his use of invisibility takes a breath air before calming down. ' Gosh, I really need to remember that I can only remain invisible with my aura if I choose to and remember to, and not when I introduce myself so bluntly like that, I might as well just shout ' Hey! I'm a Princeton, Louis Princeton, heir to the Princeton family so to say, nice to meet you boy who lived, I hope we get along! ' Geez! ' And as Louis makes a mental note to himsefl to be more aware of where he is, he enters Artifex valere in search of more supplies to sketch up and paint his animal friends.

Leaving the shop around thirty minutes later, buying his supplies of utmost importance for now, Louis let's out a breath of relief. Noticing the time, and feeling much better from the floo powder transportation, Louis decides that enough time has been spent roaming around Diagon alley, and he should locate his parents to see what else he can find in this magical shopping street filled with mystery. Noticing his parents still in the Leaky Cauldron through the tracking spell appare vestigium, and deciding to go back to the leaky cauldron for some food, he begins walking back to the Leaky Cauldron. Walking past Flourish & Blotts, and halfway past the window of madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions, by coincidence he remembers that his godfather, Alfred, asked him that the next time he visited diagon alley, to pick up a robe he had waiting for him at madam Malkin's for an important special occasion he has to attend and cannot escape from, but is to busy to fetch it due to his current tightly packed schedule. Shrugging his shoulders at his godfathers odd but doable request, Louis decides to go in and pick up Alfred's ' important occasion ' robe as he called it, and ask his father to help send it to his godfather through their family owl. Pushing the door open and entering the shop with the sound of a bell ringing in the back, Louis catches sight of ' The chosen one ' standing on top of a stool, ' must be getting fitted for school robes, ' he presumes, and standing next to the boy, is a silver-blonde slicked back hair and incredibly pale skin, ' he looks like a ghost, ' is Louis' first impression of the boy getting fitted for his robes as well, " Hello, dear " madam Malkin notices Louis who dropped his invisibility and released his aura, goes up to him and greets him, " I'm picking up a robe for my godfather? " Louis says awkward with uncertainty of how the witch would react to his way of speaking, he does after all prefer animals over witches and wizards, and muggles alike. " Godfather? Ah! You must be Louis of- " But before she could speak the family name, Louis gives her a hard ice cold stare sharing her to speak of the family name he both loves and hates at the time . " Yes, I am picking up a robe for my godfather named Alfred, and please, do not say my family name...I prefer my visits to be in the dark, if you will. " He finishes off his sentence with a smile that doesn't reach his cold almost dead looking eyes, and stares at madam Malkin. " My mistake young one, I'll fetch the robe for you right now. Just take a sit and make yourself comfortable on the couch over there, there's tea at the tea table, help yourself if you'd like. " Nodding his head, and mumbling a small thanks, he turns around and heads towards the tea table to serve himself a cup of tea, ' I have got to work on my people skills or mom is going to kill me first before I make an enemy with people due to my ' straightforwardness ' or so she says. ' , " damn, why can't wizards, witches and muggles be more like animals, at least in the forest there isn't any backstabbing or mindless slaughtering due to and obsession for power! If you want to live in harmony, you have got to be straightforward about your thoughts and feelings, " ' at least that's what the creatures in the forest say to me whenever they rant off about their feelings towards wizards and the like, Wait, did I say my thoughts about wizards out loud? At least I did not say anything about my communication with my friends. " Louis mummers out slightly audible words of his former half of his thoughts and ends it with a sigh to cover up his words, but barely manages to keep the latter part of his thoughts to himself.

As he lands softly on the couch and slowly enjoying his tea, sipping it slowly, he notices the blonde ghastly pale boy in front of him from where his is sitting, smirking. " May I help you? " Louis questions towards the sharp looking ghost-like boy to pale for his liking.
