They all sat awkwardly through that afternoon lunch. The older boy nowhere to be seen as Mr. Gold tried to hide his distraught.
"This tastes delicious Mrs. Gold, did you make it?" Harry asked not looking up. The silence was making him fidgety.
"Oh no darling, I couldn't cook to save a life! It's Mrs. Potts that keeps us full." Belle smiled understanding his nervous look. Gideon on the other hand was quickly slurping up his soup trying to get away from the table as fast.
"Slow it down Gideon, I have an announcement." both of the boys interest peaked. "As you know Harry has officially become our ward and will be staying here with us. But we have another guest arriving later tonight, Baelfires girlfriend-"
"She's a menace dad you can't let her!" Gideon began to protest throwing away his little disguise of well mannered boy.
"Well we don't have a choice Gideon! Your brother has gotten her pregnant. I am furious by your brothers actions but I can't simply kick him out" Mr. Gold at that moment looked older and tired. His fingers rubbing the bridge of his nose in an upcoming headache.
"SHE'S A NO-MAJ, NO BETTER THAN A FILTHY MUD BLOOD, ARE WE TAKING IN ALL THE STRAYS WE FIND" The last thing Harry heard before all hell broke loose was the silverware clattering onto the floor. He didn't even have a moment to react to the insult thrown at him.
"GIDEON GOLD WERE DID YOU LEARN THAT WORD" Mr. Gold reached for his cane. Sliding off his chair and striding towards his fuming son. Belle on the other hand quickly grabbed Harry and scooted him far into the living room. She was silent for a moment trying to get a hold of her thoughts.
"I...I am so sorry Harry, you see Gideon has been going through this odd phase for years and he just acts up, while Rumple and Bae have been arguing for years" she placed a warm hand on his shoulder, her face trying to show her worried in something she couldn't really ever understand. " Hey you know what, Harry this is your first day here and I just want you to like it, so lets go to granny's and get some dessert, what do you say?.The boys will cool off later, I know they will, they always do."
Harry and Belle walked through the small town almost comfortably. Though maybe a few citizens threw them odd looks.
"Good afternoon Belle, and who is this?" A curly red haired man asked, in his hand he held a leash with a spotted dog at the end. Harry mentally giggled, the man could have been one of the Weasleys.
"Oh Archie, this is Golds nephew, Harry. He'll be staying with us for some time." The man named Archie gave him discreet looks as he took Harrys hand and shook it. Trying to find any resemblance to the infamous Gold.
"Well Harry I do hope you'll enjoy your stay here." With that he smiled at the two of them before going off.
"Are...are there other wizards here?" Harry whispered to Belle as they crossed the street towards the diner.
"Nope, only Rumple and Gideon I'm afraid though sometimes I suspect mayor Regina's sister to be the real wicked witch of the west!" Her laughter again was like soft tinkling bells so clear and lovely to listen. Belle held open the door for Harry letting him inside first. He had never been inside a place like this. It was almost strange considering the fact the magical world was like stepping into a time machine.
"Hey Mrs. Gold!" Harry turned to watch a brown haired boy leaning over one of the booths. He waved at the two of them.
"Oh hi Daniel, lets go over there Harry shall we?" The two of them slipping into the booth with Daniel. The younger boy stared at Harry as if trying to remember who he was. "Daniel this is Harry Potter and Harry this is Daniel Colter" she introduced the two boys.
"Why are you here?" Daniel tilted his head a bit making Harry feel somewhat uncomfortable with the look.
"I'm just visiting my uncle Gold." He picked up the menu trying to escape the boys curiosity.
"The fifth Gold in town, I knew they'd be invading this place sooner or later, next it'll be the world!" An older lady exclaimed sarcastically. "Now what can I get for you two darlings."
"A fudge icecream Granny! And you Harry?" Belle asked.
"Well...what can I get?" Harry asked hesitantly, he would probably order the cheapest thing here.
"Anything you want off the menu honey." Granny answered for Belle "They aren't called the Golds for nothing!" The older lady winked at him. Producing a laugh out the three of them.
"Exactly Harry, just chose whatever" Excitement ran through his body, a small grin appearing on his face. He had never been able to do this with the Dursleys, they'd lose their minds if he ever got anything to expensive. Either way it was even rare to take them all out to eat.
"Alright than!" He nodded in agreement, eyes moving down the menu reading off the plates. "Can I have a apple pie, please." He folded up the menu and handed it over. The older lady gave him a smile before going off to cook.
"You know Harry I like your accent, it sounds all fancy and stuff you know." Daniel, the other boy spoke again.
"Thanks I'm from surrey." Potter shrugged.
"Hey you know, maybe we could go to the beach someday or go on a boat ride, my mom owns a marina." Daniel spoke. Harry on the other hand turned to look at Belle as if asking for her permission.
"Oh of course harry! I would never say no!" she ruffled up his hair like the devils snare.
