Disclamer: I am not JK Rowling, so I do not own the world of Harry Potter and so you are getting this for free and I am doing it for fun.

A/N I said I would have this in a couple of days and it has been a couple of weeks(maybe 3) but this one took some time to lay out and I kept changing things. I hope this will be self sustained but to find out why Harry is headed to America you may wish to read "Harry Potter Fugitive" if you haven't already enjoyed my attempt at 50,000 words in November. (I didn't make it)

Chapter 1. What is going on?

Minister Shackelbot came back to the ministry after seeing Harry Potter off for America. That boy had been though so much, and had accomplished so much, now he had to leave his home land or risk see his friends die a second time.

"Percy I need to talk to you. I have to vent a bit before I go home and take it out on my dog".

"Your dog? I figured your wife".

"No, I am not afraid of my dog...My wife on the other hand". Kinsley said with a chuckle

Percy didn't want to know what kind of a woman would make Kinsley fearful.

"You know Percy, why Harry is going to America?"

"Yes sir, He is going to train with the American Federation Aurors".

"You are right but wrong".

Percy gave Kinsley a strange look.

"During our war, my predecessor worked out a deal with the American Federation, they would send some of their aurors over to help us, then we would send some over to help, with some of their problems. The American Federation covers both North and South America as well as some Islands both in the Atlantic and Pacific. They have only a loose arrangement, several of the states have a problem with dark wizards. The Federation Government has no power to go into the individual states and stop them, so we send a few aurors over and they help out taking care of their little problem. Harry is the best fighter we have, we will send some others over to help later".

"You know that Harry is going to be pissed about being used. I know you're doing what you think you should but, you should have been straight with him. He has a very short fuse about being manipulated. I would tread lightly".

"You know he has more power than any modern wizard. He will be learning more techniques over there, he was more than a match for old Moldy Voldy and his death munchers more than a match for Scrimgeor. He will be the best trained wizard around, I don't think you want to piss him off".

"I know, I know, but, he needed to get out of here for a year, we needed to send someone, the governments made a magically binding contract. We won't be sending anyone else for a year and he will be back here by then. I told the Americans that he was the advanced party and was just to be trained so he could get our people up to speed, with their style of magic. I am worried that they may push him into fights with the dark wizards, or let it out how powerful he is and make him a challenge to them. They have several problems and really want them fixed. Ginny is there to keep me informed of what they are doing". Seeing Percy's look of worry, "Ginny does not know what is going on, she would either tell him or rip into me".

"You should have let him know all this, he would have done it anyway and prevented a lot of problems. This does not help his belief that he can trust very few people. He has already been though more than most people do in their whole lives and you have added to it. He has only had two people close to him that have not betrayed him Hermione and Ginny. Everyone else had turned on him at one time or another. Now, when he finds out what is going on he is going to think Ginny betrayed him too".

"What about your brother Ron?"

turned on him during the Triwizard Tournament. My parents never have but they are closer to parents than people. Adults except for Dumbledore have always let him down, and he was at odds with Dumbledore before Sirus died

"I can see what you mean I will try and fix this as best I can when he comes back but until then I think this is best, and you are bound by your oath to the ministry"

********************************************************************.

Harry and Ginny settled into their seats, both were white knuckled as they took off. They didn't like having to depend on someone else to fly. It was one thing to be on a reliable broom and in control, it was another to be in a mechanical contraption flown by someone else. Harry was muggle raised and knew flying was safe but he had never flown before and felt safer with magic than science. Ginny reached over and took Harry's hand and gave him a small wink. Harry had to laugh.

After the plane had reached cruising altitude and the pilot had turned off the fasten seat belt sign, Ginny put up the arm rest between them and leaned her head on Harry's shoulder. "Harry what are you going to be doing when we get over there?"

"I am to learn about American magic and auror procedures so we can have a closer relations with the Americans, they do have the largest population of any magical government. I am supposed to learn as much about their brand or should I say brands of magic I can. Personally I an hoping to learn how to become an animangus".

"That will have you all over both American continents and a big part of the Atlantic and Pacific islands under their control. I read they are only a loosely bound group of states".

"Yeah, that is what I have learned, their central government is weaker than we are used too. I will have to work with all the governments of each of the states I go to. What are you doing?"

"I am to be the Junior ambassador for law enforcement, mainly I am supposed to make sure you are doing well with the new program, to make sure you have what you need, send your reports and my reports back to the Ministry. Basally I am your baby sitter, secretary and gofor".

"You look nothing like a gopher, they are small and furry rodents"

"No. Ginny laughed, "Gofor, if you ask I go for this and go for that".

Ginny that is really bad", Harry said with a chuckle.

"You know we have week ends free over there what are we going to do?" said Ginny with a smirk on her face.

"I also have another plan, I am going to start an import business in Salem".

"What are you planning on importing?"
"I am going to start with your brothers products and maybe move on from there. I am after all an investor in their shop. I need to make sure if this auror thing doesn't work out I have something to fall back on besides my fame".

"You will need to make sure to get proper approval for the import and export".

"Yeah, but I know someone at the embassy".

"I really was talking about you off time".

Harry thought a moment, "I was thinking we could do some site seeing if our schedules work out. I hear the Americans have a great port key system where you can travel anywhere in an hour. Maybe go to Universal studio's in Orlando, of course Washington DC, South Dakota, Salem, New Orleans, and maybe do some Lincoln sights in Springfield Illinois, I always liked Lincoln, he saved his country from civil war and I can kind of relate to that".

Ginny laughed and snuggled up and that way they fell asleep until the steward came by and told them to prepare for landing.
