After two short days of trip, the pair grandpa and grandson return to their Villa late at night tired and sleepy. But Thomas received a few letters from Zeffy as soon as they entered the living room. Thomas went to his room with deep concentration, probably to sort things out.

Nathan plopped down the nearby couch feeling very tired already had dopey eyes, he forgot how tiresome it would be for a kid like him to travel via muggle means. His eyes became heavy and involuntarily started to close. Nathan felt the couch abnormally comfy that night.

*Crack!*

Zeffy appeared near him with a glass of milk on a tray, nearly startling the soul out of his body. Who knows, he might have really experienced an out of body experience like Doctor strange. Tired and sleepy Nathan tries to calm his nerves. "Z-zeffy can you please not do that when I'm feeling sleepy " Nathan then whined in annoyance.

"Master Nathan shouldn't sleep on the couch like this, Sir, Thomas strictly instructed Zeffy to make sure you drink a glass of milk and sleep on your bed with-" Zeffy didn't care about his whining but strictly said his piece.

"Oh fine! Stop it already, I'll go and sleep in my room, what's the fuss " Nathan grunted but he obediently take the milk and quickly chugged it down then stood up with a yawn "Thank you Zeffy " he smiled gratefully at the house elf as he returned the empty glass to that little thing.

" welcome! Master Nathan, welcome " Zeffy squeaked In exited voices as it disappeared Nathan's smile stretched into grin, Although Zeffy bother him according to his grandpa's strict instructions Zeffy try to take note of Nathan's liking into consideration for example he would only bring milk with mild to no heat at Nathan's sleeping time.

The care and concern from the house elf, made Nathan grow fond of it in this short period of time they know each other not to mention he was the only heir to the family technically Zeffy was his property.

Though it may sound degrading and offending to someone like a certain bushy brown haired witch but the enslavement thing wasn't as simple as it seems.

According to his great grandfather's research on house elf he understood few things though he might not know everything or what he concluded doesn't likely have to be true; he believed there is certain logic that did strike him from what his great grandfather researched on them.

House elves like goblins and centaur a sentient being rather than compare them with magical beasts like certain bigoted Toad or the people in her circle.

Meaning they are capable of using their magic in exceptional and innumerable ways and capable of wielding wands but unlike goblins who raged war for such rights or centaur who despise those things and stick to their tradition.

House elves so far do not cause them any harm in fact their situation and perception on a completely different level they lack a sense of self despite having strong magical prowess it could be said if they are capable enough there would be elf nations beside goblins across the world would have monopolize certain resources who know.

But their lack of sense is the reason for wizards comfortably going about their life without potential competitors in the magical world or the so-called wizarding world.

Many people had many theories about how these elfs came about; some people believe they were like imps, lephrecons, and Erklings or wild born creatures which wizards captured and tame them after figuring out their usefulness.

Other's believed believed they were part of fabled fae spirits who got contact with humans, because of their harmless nature wizards help them integrate into society while assisting wizards which later turned into this kind of relationship.

The yunboes from Africa were an example to this kind of speculation, as their local folk tales speak about yunboes as such troublesome mischievous little things who often steal people's food capable appear and disappear at will.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

From what Nathan understood from this serious research he could admit both had some good reason for one other thing he seriously believed was the creatures are almost always selfless of course it's possible there might be black sheeps like Dobby the free elf but it's rare.

If not for his prior knowledge he never should have believed an elf like Dobby exists, It's not that they can't live free or something, it's just that they psychologically dependant on wizards formed close bonds with them.

Centuries gone the dynamic of relationship between both shifted, with their deep gratitude and care still tied both races together to this day at least that's what he can think of he wasn't narrow minded sycophantic bigoted pure blood who Indulge in their vanity and useless believes to feel superiority In their heart.

Nathan knows very well how capable these little things could be ( Of course he convincingly ignored the fact he was about the same height as them) they could be rag wearing guardians if a situation arises not to mention Zeffy cares about him a lot.

As Nathan never liked sipping it like tea or coffee that doesn't mean it wasn't freshly made. Nathan also often secretly asks Zeffy to hot chocolate if it has been his grandpa he never would have been as much he wants too much self discipline and all other nonsense.

So he never let Thomas know about this fact, when Lizzy found out about his overly hot chocolate indulgence he unhesitantly bribed her with the very same thing, who fed up with pumpkin juice and fresh juices fell right into his trap and became his accomplice.

He never understands why children like them have to follow such a strict discipline, not all of them fitness frea- ahem enthusiasts like Thomas. Only god knows how he might had been torture himself in his childhood days with all this nonsense.

Nathan couldn't really believe his grandpa was really that disciplined at that age, ' No one could have, unless he had Diabetes For chocolate allergy but do wizards really have it? ' Nathan was doubtful.

Nathan wasn't so surprised when he heard the old man talk about Hogwarts foods from his grandpa's gushing. He was even a little doubtful that he underestimated the food there. From hearing descriptions of Thomas he felt even the movie might have done some injustice.

But for all this excited talk about tasty foods, he never showed interest in trying them again, always going for healthy food over tasty ones. Thomas' implementation of pumpkin juice was probably the only exception.

' Old Man, are you purposely doing this? Aren't you a little cruel? ' Nathan long wanted to ask such questions, it's not like he wouldn't get a chance to enjoy them by himself.

Fortunately for him there were often Tamil cuisines at the table. Zeffy really did his best in cooking them. He wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts house elf skills weren't higher than Zeffy.

*Cough, Cough!*

Anyway Nathan dragged his tired body upstairs and plopped into his bed. He didn't even bother to take off his shoes or wear pajamas.

What? His grandpa is going to scold him for not sleeping with his dress yesterday, not to mention he was very tired right now. It's all his grandpa's fault anyway.

Why did he have to bring him to the freakin forest? How was someone celebrating their birthday, how pitiful was that poor Nathan didn't cut any cake nor did he make any wishes.

Even worse, he had to drink up the disgusting tasting potion. It wasn't his fault a centipede bit him on his shoulder nor did he have time to think about such a thing. Okay you are so capable you put a muggle repelling charm and other things on the campsite.

But shouldn't you also think of bringing some insect repellent or magical lotion he didn't believe there was no such a thing exists, he wasn't naive where as muggle pursuing science for convenience and comfort wizards are same with magic not to mention they were more lazy than muggles he definitely expect such a thing exist.

The only conclusion he can draw was that it might be some life lessons from Thomas perspective, Nathan could only gritted his teeth silently bottle up the thousands of accusations in his delicate heart he understands acting ignorant wasn't easy at all especially when you had a unpredictable grandpa who also personally brought you up.

His suffering wasn't just that, who would travel via muggle transportation when you are a capable wizard with an adorable child by your side is something someone does not to mention the said child was dragged to half a dozen places in that two days one night.

The surprise Thomas planned for him last evening was a circus, quite devilish one if he had anything to say although it was just muggle circus troop his night took a different turn halfway during the shows.

He somehow got involved in the freaking circus show, fortunately or unfortunately didn't involve the show with dangerous animals but a bunch of clowns.

He was literally treated like doll In their hands, Thomas doesn't faze even little bit from what Nathan could tell, it was one hellish ride for him despite looking scary b******* they didn't do anything to him.

Acrobatics and cycling was quite nauseating if he said so, thank God he only ate a mild snack now that he thinks of it he couldn't help but wonder whether it was the arrangement of Thomas himself.

Nathan frowned as he thought hard without any stress, ' Grandpa are really loving me or planning to scar my childhood memories? ' he wondered.

Now that he thinks about it Thomas kind of looked guilty after the show was over although his part in this was mere ten something minutes it totally doused his spirit with his vacant eyes and upset stomach he didn't notice whatever the final part of the show was.

Nathan couldn't completely blame this on his grandpa. He was sure Thomas isn't even half as aware as Nathan, he who lived a life in the 21st century knows the horrors of clowns, Nathan would have even willing to change this for a dangerous stunt with a lion…. Of course he would do no such thing.

Nathan Never ever would foolishly bring his head anywhere near that unhygienic beast nor would his grandpa insist on such a dangerous thing anyway.

It's true his grandpa bought him tasty ice creams and Nathan might have eaten it, that doesn't mean things would be simply over, now that he remembered it Nathan would make sure to get back at the old man.

' This is unforgivable and cruel, I will surely get back at my grandpa ' Nathan vehemently made a vow in his heart.

Nathan let out a tired moan as he justified himself about his behavior As he rolled further into his bed. ' The old man getting senile, he should let a kid live as a kid I wouldn't agree with martial arts classes I will definitely put stop to this madness '

As he closed his eyes he finally shifted his remaining energy into a cheat ability which was yet to activate. Scolded it in his heart ' Damn thing, it simply waste to call it cheat more like-'

Nathan opened his eyes wide as he looked up at his ceiling and stuttered "M-my...My cheat..." *Gulp*
