Disclaimer. Just a general claim of not owning any of the characters be they Harry Potter or give a resemblance to another character that seems familiar.

Never let it be said that I don't learn from my mistakes. Trust me I make many of them. There is however one thing in the years that have passed that I will never forget, I am one of a set. My two best friends and I, none of us will ever be at our best without the other. We can and will carry on, there just will always be something missing. And no I don't mean it in a pervy way, I love my best friends Hermione is a great girl the kindest, smartest, girl in the world….when she isn't mad at you. Harry Potter my best mate and always will be, he is strong in magic, puzzle solving, and mayhem. When the chips are down he's the one you want in front of you. No you don't want him behind you, get your mind out of the gutter people. He is the one that will go in save the day and wind up in the hospital nursing cut bruises and the bad guy will be down for the count or dead, either works.

Me, I am the strategist that thinks of things beforehand. When there is a clear goal a defined place to get to I find the path. It goes like this Harry; finds the clues, and tells us where the bad guy is what he is going and why he is doing it, I think he might be physic. Hermione says he has something called an advanced sense of Spatial Contextual Understanding and problem solving skills. I tell the team how to get there; Such as, we go by car kill everyone we see and then jump from the burning building as Harry will somehow find a way to destroy the place; there is a little more to it than that but you get the idea. Hermione tells us which spells to us, and if we have any questions she will know the answer or where to get answers. She will also come up with a plan if I'm not there, she not very good at it. She thought stealing a dragon would be a good idea….

None of that matters really, what does matter is that we were bored utterly and completely bored. We were nineteen and with nothing to do. We were all lounging at Harry's place as we didn't really go out in to the wizarding world much anymore. Looney the whole lot of them.

I can see you want a reason us being away from the place we saved. Let me go back to just after the war. The three of us were hailed heroes, we were the toast of town. I ate up every minute of it. Even if I had spent some of the time realigning my head. Hey the horcrux got to me, I always was a mean tempered jealous git, and I got over it. Hermione put up with it, the fame not me that is. Harry, poor boy hid, he thought he had been safe at the Burrow. He went and had mother's cooking, and spoke to my father about muggles. It was during that time that he also learned that my parents aren't as open and loving as you would think. For all of my father obsession with muggles, he never cares to associate or attempt to get to know them. Mother Weasley, never let us associate with them said they were not for the likes of us.

No matter it was during that time he had his blinders removed of my parents. "What is your account cousin's name? Why did you home school your children when a perfectly lovely school is just down the street? Why do you act like they are mentally deficient and quaint?" yeah he asked some tough questions, they got into a hell of an argument, told my father if he didn't know what a light socket was for he had no business working with the non-magical, stick to disenchanting objects and to leave the people alone. Called my mother a self-important bitty, that muggles were not less than they were….there where a few more things thrown in and a plate or two, then the curses and you get the idea. Merlin, it took him long enough to realize why every Weasley children leaves and rarely come back.

That however is not the end of it turns out that Little Gin Gin had been giving Harry Love Potion number 2 for months during his sixth year. It was one of the weakest but with a steady supply as powerful as Amortentia. He dropped her like a hot cake. Now he does most of the cooking, and rarely eats out unless it is a place that was randomly picked and no one knows he was going there. George finally took the love potions off the shelves. I in turn stopped speaking to most of the family when they said I should forgive her because she was just a silly little girl with a crush.

"…"

"…"

No, couldn't do it, she tried to steal my best mates choice and free will. Hermione had a bit more to say on the matter, Ginny lost her hair, had boils, and when she spoke of Harry every time she'd say 'I fed him a love potion.' Seven months later she was still carrying the curses. Guess Hermione didn't want anyone to ever forget about it.

It also didn't help matters,that Harry went to the Prophet, the Weekly Witch, Wizarding Daily, and the Quibbler, all with the message that he would never love a witch because Ginny made him wonder if he would ever love of his own free will. Yeah he blamed it all on her. Let me tell you the Howlers that came nearly brought the Burrows down on its crooked pointed top. (he left out the part that he finding breast the least fascinating thing in the world, more for me!)

Now where were we? Oh yes, Harry Hermione and I were all completely bored. I mean mind dumbing bored.

"I haven't been this bored than the time when I was six and had been locked in the cupboard for three days."

"I haven't been this bored since that time when Lavender decided that my hair needed to be treated."

"I need a beer." A man has to have his priorities.

Harry gave Hermione a look. She seemed to be a bit startled by his look. It was close to a leer. "I have an idea."

"No!" she and I exclaimed. When he gets and idea in that tone it always leads to trouble.

"Come one please hear me out?" He gave her puppy dog eyes. She had the softest spot for him.

"I will listen but I make no promises." She said. Me I sat back and wondered just what this pair was going to do, and how I was going to save their sinking ship.

"We need a bad guy to chase after. We are bad guy stoppers or catchers or, hell it's what we do. And now we are sitting in this old dusty house avoiding the world for a little peace, when we should be out there seeking out new adversaries." He told her.

"Then you should have joined the Aurors"

"But Hermione the wizard criminals are tiresome. Muggles, they are harder to catch and there are thousands for us to choose from. There are murders, and rapists, there are thieves and dens of thieves, gang violence, smuggling, hell the muggle bad guys are varied and we can choose our prey. Not like the Wizards they all want is to take over the world. There is only so much black magic a person can do when they begin to repeat themselves."

Yeah he had something there. I could see that the Gryffindor was coming to the surface. "I'll pay for you to go to the University."

Yes, she was won over by books. "Ron?"

"Harry, no"

"I will kick you off the couch." There was a bed upstairs.

"No."

"I will stop buying the Kegan Original Beer." I could adapt.

"Muggles."

"I know a spell that will allow you to simply take information from another. You won't have to start in secondary school."

"Umm."

"I'll let you hurt the Dursley's."

"I'm in!" This is the first time ever that he had even thought of allowing it. He had been protecting them for far too long.

"But Harry that spell causes them to have a headache for hours, if not days." She protested.

"Then you use it too. I mean Petunia wasn't good for much but she could cook. And we have tasted your cooking,"

"That's better." The war changes a person and Hermione was not going to let a little pain stop her, especially if it was someone as loathsome as the Dursley's.

Yeah those are my best friends and we were off to chase bad guys. That is after going to school, it was only the prospect of the pair going off without me that had me going back to school, and I got to hurt the Dursley's

Upon arriving at the number four residence we found Fat and Fatter, sitting on the couch munching on a bag of chips. Hermione quickly locked the door and place up charms over the house to hold noise inside. "Hello muggles!" I chirped. Hey I was excited.

"What do you want?!" Vernon wobbled from the couch spittle flying from his face.

"Sit down, this will go much easier if you simply do as we ask." Hermione tried with the niceties. Always the lady, unless she is not. I wonder if she knows just how wicked she looks when she is twirls her wand with a sweet little smile on her face.

"I won't have it! We got rid of your lot last year, you said we wouldn't ever have to deal with you again!"

"Oops, sorry still need one thing from you. Ron you first."

"Utanime!"I performed the spell that the other two taught me, while he yelled and protested. Oh god it was awful. I pulled memory after memory, form Vernon. I went to deep in his mind. I saw him learning in Smeltings, I saw his math classes and then algebra, I caught him skimming from Grunnings. I saw oh god, I can still taste throw up just thinking about it, Dudley's conception. There was one good thing to say for Vernon he knew numbers, and competent with computers, and I had his knowledge.

I went straight up the stairs to reinforce math into my head. I opened the computer and pulled math information on line, everything I could find. In a matter of days, I has just as competent with numbers and the equations as he was. Still don't understand the spell, Alright let me explain it you.

Unlike Legilismens that allows you to see what the other person saw, yes that spell is 'to read mind'. This spell allows you to live it, like your own memories if you don't recall or choose to recall then it is pushed to the back of your brain then forgotten 'Mind to me'. Trust me many of the Dursley's memories were shoved to then back of my mind. Hermione for some reason had very little issue when it came using the spell.

Yes, that means was cheated our way through secondary and into Prep school. Yes, it was bad, blah blah, blah, trust me we know it was unscrupulous. But those upper classmen pissed us off and besides they wouldn't notice with all the partying they were doing. It was done with great deliberation that we choose to speed our way. When we were twenty we all transferred to the University of Georgetown in The United States. Each of us having found a different subject in which to focus our skills. I went on to study Forensic Accounting, hey I discover I really like numbers and patters, I also joined the chess team and went on a paid vacation to Vegas. Hermione criminology, and law, she was going to be our lawyer. Someone had to keep Harry out of jail, I will explain that later.

Harry, Mr. I-am-bored-lets-chase-after-bad-people, put us off for another two years to earn his PhD. Yes he is now Dr. Harry Potter. He specialized in Sociology, and Psychology. He then went on and narrowed his field into Social Psychology, and Community Psychology. He wrote a Thesis Paper published and hailed as an evolutionary in the field on the study of isolation and the effects on a whole. He gave way to the understanding of inner city gangs and the generational effect due to low income and inability to leave, thus lowering a person's self-worth, and leading to a sense of inevitability and destiny. There was more to it than that, but I doubt you really care and in truth I was working, so I only paid him half a mind.

When he gave his interview to the board they lost much of their fine thoughts about him, "It is the study of a sheep to Sheep. There is a saying 'a person is smart, people are sheep that follows the one that bleats the loudest.' I was in the back of the hall snickering behind my hand. Yeah my friend the genius, I wonder what would happen if he rewrote his theory for the Quibbler.

By this time I had a decent job working with an import export company. Hermione had a nice job working with the state of Virginia as an undersecretary for the Attorney General. We were both earing a nice income but Harry would not allow us to pay him back while he was still in school, I had thought by that time he had given up the thought of chasing criminals.

I was wrong.

This is where the story really begins. Or at least the part that I care about. We had been in the states for six years. I and Hermione both with Masters in our chosen field and Hermione a certified Lawyer having passed the bar exam on the first try, did you expect anything less. Harry in only six years had his doctors and was a Psychologist having passed all his test and taken the Hippocratic Oath.

The problem with Harry is the more he studied and learned about the human condition the less he cared. He decided sometime during the second year of study for his doctorate he decided that people were relatively dumb, and he just couldn't give a flip what they thought of him so he was going to live it up. I quote, "I saved this world… alright you two helped and Neville, so we are all four the major owners of this world whether they know it or not, thus I could care less what they think of me. Hey pass me a beer would ya."

Harry with his Doctorates had yet to find a job. He instead spends his day, sheep watching. It's been a while since he has called groups of people, people. They are sheep, stupid sheep, and cannon fodder. I want to say that he is a little jaded. What do you think? Time passed and we had yet to go after another bad guy, let me tell you I was relived. I had a great job a good healthy six figure income. I owned my potion of the house out right.

Did I tell you about our house, well it's great. We have a little over seven hundred acres far enough away from any muggles that we could play a pickup game of quidditch whenever we choose. We decided sometime after I got the job, one that I write home about all the time. I was never expected to outdo the others and now, shove that up your nose Percy, and Mom said I was foolish falling in with the other two.

Anyways our house was created to be three sided an equilateral triangle, surrounding a courtyard. Each side was a house on its own. My house is decorated in shades of autumn. My decorator talked me out of Chudley Cannon orange. Wait it doesn't matter, what does matter is we share land and a great house where we could and do, go days without each other.

At any time we can visit by walking across the courtyard to the other back door. I had had a long day, and just wanted to relax by the pool when I came upon Harry standing in front of a white board. There were lines and graphs charts.

"Hey Ron guess what I found?" he started to hop up and down. He was the savior of the wizard world and he was hopping like a little girl.

I did not want to ask. "What?"

"I found us a case! The perfect case for us to solve."

For my part I simply raised my wand "Accio Beer."
