Identity and heads-up

"Spill it out lad. You look like your old man when you have to say something. As if something's stuck in your throat and you would choke on it if you don't spit it out."

Bella and Daisy snickered at the accurate description made by Harry about Danial.

He sighed, " Master Harry, I had noticed that even though Rodrick looks faster and stronger than the other six, I observed that the others have grace and power Rodrick lacks. Their movements, their calm and collective nature and the way they change the subject when any of us broached about their personal prowess and training. I simply can't put my finger on what it is."

"Who they actually are Master Harry? I feel like they are someone even my father would have difficulty facing in a combat."

Harry sighed, " For good or bad, these six disciples of mine always find themself with people having potential or should I say, people who have potential ends up following with my disciple. They are like magnets, a strong one at that. They simply pull talents and kind hearted people towards them. And on top of it, you are someone even I have to consider. Not for who you are but..... " Harry shook his head with a sigh.

The three looked perplexed. Harry continued understanding their dilemma. " For example. You three, had you ever been so comfortable or close to someone when you had only met them for less than a day? They all shook their head.

As per protocol, you both should have meals after someone tastes it due to the fear of poisioning or you had to take an antidote after having a meal outside, am I right?"

Both Daniel and Bella noded in agreement. "During your time with those lads, had you ever felt like doubting the food Alan cooked? Or had you taken the antidote till now?"

Harry's question stunned the sibling and they looked at each other with the same disbelief.

From their childhood this process was engraved in their mind and heart. No matter where they have their dinner. It was either tested or they were supposed to take an antidote, which will give them enough time to get the proper treatment incase of any poisioning. And unfortunately there had been an incident like that a few years ago.

Harry smiled at their panicked looks. He looked around to make sure that no one else were at the vicinity listning to their conversation. " Relax, this is what i ment. There is a kind of attraction and belief people develop with them even if it was their first meeting. And if my disciples want to take someone's like, not even the entire army of this kingdom can stop them."

This statement made them snap out of their thoughts. "Ha.... Master Harry..... You..... You mean... " Daniel was unable to complete the sentence due to the shock. The two girls were standing like statues.

" I wanted to keep it a secret but the way you guys are getting along with them makes it difficult for me to lie to you. And your keen observation, like your father also will give a headache later if I don't tell you a few things atleast. Charlie was also the same, keen on observation and." Harry had a fond smile on his face.

All there standing there were bumbfounded by Harry's words. "He addressed King Charls as Charlie!!!!." Harry chuckled at their expression.

"Lad, las I can address his as I like. You know, he was the one who made me call him that." Harry said looking thoughtful. Then he shook his head and his expression became stern.

"Listen very carefully. Those six are and will be my only personal disciples in this lifetime. The training they went through and the things they had faced, things they did cannot be done by anyone. For those six jerks, I am willing to instruct their friends and shape them to the best of their capacity. " Harry had a fond smile while speaking about the six young men.

" Let me say this for now. And I belive you three will keep it a secret." Harry looked at each of them with a stern gaze sending shivers down their spine. But all of them noded in agreement.

"They are not someone who likes to show off or not even be provoked easily. No matter what you say to them, won't even bother them. They simply love to lay low and enjoy a peaceful life as long as possible. But if someone crosses their boundries, or their ethics and gets them pissed off, not even an army can save that person. Let that person even be the King himself."

" What I can advise to you all is, just enjoy their company. It's not only hard but rare to come by. Don't try to use them for any political or personal reasons. Let me tell you something. They are not only powerful but brilliant. Extremely brilliant. More so than you ministers, councilmembers and even your father"

The three simply listened to Harry's words with stunned silence. I know Charlie like the back of my hand and believe both of you are like him and keep your words. " If my disciples deemd you worth of their friendship, they will even take on the enemy's army alone for you."

The three gulped audibly. Harry smiled riley, bade them good night and started walking. And when they turned to enter the gate, they heard Harry's voice again. "Remember not to talk about them with others. Including your father Daniel, Bella. I will be taking them to the castle soon to meet my brother Charlie." When they turned, Harey was nowhere to be seen.

Did he just said ' My brother Charlie!!!' Bella asked looking at Daniel, who nodded in disbelief. "Does that means he is our uncle!!!???"

The three looked at each other. And without saying anything else, went inside their quarters and slept.

Next morning, as instructed by Harry, Daniel started the stretching exercises. And found, he was hardly able to complete the first set before he fell on his back exhausted.
