It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

Their stay atop Snowdon lasted a couple weeks in which Harry continued to try and master various magics. The location gave him ample opportunity to try some more powerful spells, such as fireballs, small lightning strikes, and others a similar nature. He didn't need to fear accidentally burning a forest down, damaging property, or harming a wayward bystander.

Time passed quickly during his time here, what was the saying? 'Time flies when you're having fun?', it certainly had some truth in it, especially when he considered the time he spent with the Dursleys. He hadn't laxed on his training either though, despite his enjoyment.

He'd quickly learned how to Apparate with some degree of skill, being able to teleport from what point to another fairly easily. The loud sound of displaced air did annoy him slightly however, as it was an indication that he hadn't yet mastered the skill and acquired 'silent' apparition.

Still, for an eight-coming-nine-year-old, it was incredible progress. Seeing as it was Kali saying this, it definitely meant something, especially since her experience in teaching only extended to demons. He did 'Splinch' himself a couple times, accidentally leaving behind limbs or digits, but Kali easily healed him. It may have been an incredibly painful experience, but it'd definitely taught him a lesson about focus and discipline.

Conjuring fire was fairly easy for him nowadays, though, controlling it was another matter entirely. Spells alleviated this problem some, but he wanted to master the wild magics as well as spellcraft.

Soon enough though, it was time to leave. Once Harry had mastered apparition to a good degree, she'd transformed into her bat form and disappeared in a plume of smoke, leaving to find somewhere for them to live in relative peace.

He'd begun to get worried when Kali didn't return that night, but in the morning the next day, he was awoken by the familiar sound of wings, something that wasn't common around the top of the mountain.

Once she'd returned, she began giving a brief description of the place she'd found, saying that it was desolate, and lacked civilisation, but had an abundance of life and magical creatures. The only issue was its incredibly hot climate and lack of clean water sources, which wouldn't be a problem since he had the Aqua root they'd created recently.

"How are we going to get there? I can only apparate to places I've already been..." he mutters, knowing that Kali wouldn't be able to teleport him due to her innate demonic attribute.

Kali smiles at him when she hears his question, "Oh, well that's the easy part." she was, leaning close and pressing her forehead against his own, making sure to mind her horns. "Now, close your eyes and focus on your mental barriers."

Harry does as she says, engaging his occlumency defences and waiting for something to happen...

*Tap, Tap, Tap*

He feels an odd knocking on his mind but quickly recognises the familiar aura, knowing it to belong to Kali. It felt like chaos, death, power, and lust... But also a sense of calm, control, and affection.

He allows her into his mind and immediately feels strange, blurring pictures passing through his vision, not in front of his eyes, but the part of his brain that operates them... Slowly, they become less and less blurry, and he eventually recognises the arid, lands to be somewhere in Africa.

Once the picture is fully integrated into his mind, he's able to look around the area as if he was already there... He feels Kali back away and opens his eyes, "What was that?" he wonders.

"I just showed you what I saw, the memory is now yours so you should have no problem teleporting there... I would be careful though, it is quite the distance."

Harry nods but pauses, glancing around the cabin that'd quickly become their home. "But... What should we do with this place?"

Kali shrugs noncommittally, "Without us powering the wards, it'll become just an ordinary stone shack. The wind will knock it down in a couple years I imagine."

He chews his lip and wonders if the time they'd spent here together really meant so little to her, but shakes his head, this was only supposed to be a temporary home, he shouldn't be getting upset over something like that. "Ok... Should we leave now?"

Kali nods, "The sooner the better. Whoever is looking for you is certainly going out of their way, I saw posters of your face in other European countries, you're quite famous, master."

Harry just grumbles in discontent, he knew he couldn't be the only child who'd ever run away, so for so many people to be searching for him didn't mean anything good. Perhaps the people who wished to control him were manipulating everyone?...

All he knew was that once he found out who was responsible, he'd deal with them accordingly. That was for sure.

He and Kali pack up their belongings, putting them in the space-expanded bag. They also scratched off the runes they'd written on and around the cabin to make sure no local magical people discovered the demonic letters... It'd be incredibly annoying if they started experimenting and accidentally summoned a demon god, Kali said that it was perfectly possible for an untrained magical to do such a thing.

After everything was prepared, he stood outside as the wind hit him, concentrating on the location Kali had sent him. Once he was sure he'd focussed enough on their destination, he apparated with a *pop*, disappearing from Britain entirely.

*Pop!*

The sound of displaced air occurred in the hot savanna of Africa, and any nearby animals skittered away at the abrupt appearance of a young, eight-year-old boy in glasses with a large bat sat on his shoulder.

Once Harry had arrived had his destination, he immediately fell to his knee's while breathing heavily. Such a long-distance apparating had almost entirely wiped out his magical reserves, leaving him completely empty for the first time since he'd sacrificed his relatives. "I did it..."

Kali transforms back into her succubus form and rests a hand on his shoulder, "You certainly did, Master. Congratulations on a job well done."
