Chapter 18: My little teddy bear confronts me

Next morning when I was walking the great Hall, Harry spotted me and pulled me over the side and said while smirking "So, big brother did you enjoy the show yesterday?" I froze when he asked that. "H.. ho.. how?" I stuttered and looked at him with wide eyes. How did he detect me when I was under the disillusionment charm. Even McGonagall and Snape didn't detect me.

He laughed out loud at my expression. Then I laughed too, and smirked at him ."Well well well, my little teddy bear is growing up, already detecting me when I'm under the disillusionment charm." And then I ruffled his hair.

"Brotheeerr.." he whined. Ahahaha, I love making him embarrassed. "So, aren't you going to tell your big brother your secret?"

He pouted a little and said "well, I was going to, but since you're being like this, it isn't going to be without a price."he smirked a bit "I could tell you exchange for the location of your secret practice place that you told about" he smirked.

"You should've been in Slytherin."i sighed and made a sad face " How could you think of extorting your big brother like this, where is little my sweet innocent little brother go?"and then I faked a few tears.

"Well, you should've told your sweet innocent little brother in my first day in here." He stuck his tounge at me.

I faked a surprise look and looked around "Huh? Which sweet innocent brother you're talking about? I, sure have no idea what you're talking about. Clearly I left my sweet innocent brother at home, instead I got this little devil who thinks that can extort and sweet-talk his big brother and got his way."

He pouted a little and I laughed at that."Okay,okay I'll show you after the class, okay?" I smiled at him.

He grinned at me and said" Who said that I can't sweet-talk my brother,huh? " he smirked at me and run away.

I looked at him while my jaw hanging and muttered "That.. that little brat.." I laughed and noticed that he still haven't told me how did he detect me.

When I finally caught up to him, he said "Finally noticed I haven't told you yet?" he smirked.

I muttered "When did you get so sarcastic anyway?" I faked a few tears "i want my little teddy bear back."

He laughed at hugged me "Okay,okay I'll tell you. After I've done my animagus transformation, I can detect auras a little. I guess it is the side effect of my animagus transformation of raiju. When I searched about Raijus, it is said that they can spot their enemies from their auras. And I also noticed that my lightning elemental spells are more powerful and my reflexes are better than before. Before you say anything, I just wanted to surprise you so I didn't say anything."

"Well,that is really useful." I muttered. And then he looked at me "So what were you doing yesterday?"

" Well, I saw you leaving the Great Hall, I followed you under the disillusionment charm, so if anything went wrong,I could've stepped in. But that wasn't necessary at all. Good job at dealing with the troll!" I said proudly.

He blushed at that. "And there is my cute little brother."i said. He scowled at that and I laughed again.

"But why didn't you stop it right away, why did you let me handle that?" he asked curiously.

"Harry, there will be times that you have to defend yourself against even more dangerous than a mountain troll, and I want you to be ready for those times. And I don't want you trust me to take care of your every little problem. I want you to able to handle your own. I sometimes can't be there for you, I want you to be ready for every problem possible out there. And I know your skills better than anyone. I knew you could handle a mountain troll on your own. And if anything looked bad at some point, I could've stepped in." I looked at him lovingly.

He flushed and looked embarrassed a little. And then he hugged me with moist eyes " I'm so lucky to have you, big brother."he whispered.

"No, I am." I stroked his back a little. "Now, let's eat breakfast." I smiled at him.

At noon, when I was studying at library, Hermoine came to me and said in really low tone "Natsu, can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure. What's up Hermione?" I smiled at her.

"Well, I was asking Harry that how he can do fifth year spells so efficiently, he said that you taught him everything he knew before the school, so I've been wondering that can you help me to learn few spells to learn to defend myself? I don't want to be helpless like that again." She asked in a low voice.

I felt a little sorry for her. I thought maybe I can give them and their friends a few lessons. Sort of like DA. But then I thought against it. I start with few of them and next year they could teach others. So I smiled at him and said " Sure, I would love to. Tell Neville and Harry too, I tell you the place afterwards."

She beamed at me "Thank you very much Natsu! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Dont worry about it." I smiled at her.
