Chapter One: Forgiveness

Set after Series 10 episode 7.

It had been a week since the Wire Data business and Kevin still wouldn't talk to Leo. Leo was truly sorry. It was a silly mistake but every one makes mistake's, right?

"Kevin, wait up," said Leo as he was entering the school that morning.

"Why, don't you get it? I don't want to be around you," said Kevin annoyed, "You made a very stupid mistake, we could both be behind bars right now."

"I know that and I'm sorry. It was a stupid mistake. But everyone makes mistakes," insisted Leo, "I bet on your first hack you made some sort of mistake?" Kevin sighed and walked directly in front of Leo.

"What do you exactly want?" asked Kevin.

"I want to make it up to you," said Leo. Kevin chuckled, "Look, I don't want any tension between us. I know what tension is like and it is getting very boring. I live with Justin and Floyd for goodness sake!"

"You've caused a lot of trouble, Mr," said Kevin, "But, I am willing to forgive. But I'm setting some rules. 1: When hacking always use a proxy. 2: When inside a system don't do anything just observe or print out. No changing, it increases the chances of being caught. 3. Do not use school computer as they are all connected to the Waterloo Road server which records everything. So only use your own as you control it."

"Okay, I get it," said Leo, "See you later."

"You too," replied Kevin as they parted ways.

"Alright, J.K. Rowling. I am sure you've heard of her. Revolutionary author, richest person on this planet, legendary children book writer and the writer of the Harry Potter series," said Ms. Mulgrew, "So what are we going to read this term?" Lenny put his hand up, "Lenny?"

"Umm, well it could be one of the Harry Potter books or her newer novels for more adult audiences," said Lenny.

"Good, but no. Let me give you a clue, it is a book of short stories from the Harry Potter universe," said Ms. Mulgrew. Leo put his hand up, "Leo?"

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard?" said Leo in the questing way children answer even though they know it's right.

"Correct, we are going to be read and analysing the Tales of Beedle the Bard," said Ms. Mulgrew.

"Leo," said Kevin as he pulled him to one side at break, "Got any ideas about what we could hack next?"

"Well my English class did give me an idea or two," said Leo, grinning.

"Okay, what?" asked Kevin.

"Well it's more of a who, or a she. J.K. Rowling's bank account," said Leo.

"What?" said Kevin, "Leo we are not thieves!"

"I know. I suggest we hack in there and see how much she has. Because no one actually knows how much she has. All we know is that she is the richest person in the world," explained Leo.

"Okay," said Kevin, "Let's do it. But first we need to know what bank company does she use."

"HSBC," said Leo.

"That was quick are those Google Glasses?" joked Kevin.

"Trivial pursuit," said Leo, "Used to play it with Mum and Dad when they were together, all gone now."

"Okay, . . And now the exciting part," said Kevin as they were sitting at his laptop in the bike shed, "Actually why don't you do this hack and I'll watch!"

"Okay," said Leo, "And I'll do it without 10 thousand police confiscating all the computers and the fire alarm going off every five minutes, this time." Kevin handed Leo the laptop and he was off. He opened up the command prompt and 'cd' to the website and started changing permissions.

"Good work, remember connect to the proxy," warned Kevin.

"Already on it," said Leo. Leo continued putting lots of code in until a screen popped up saying customer logins.

"Well, well, well Leo. We have the bank details of every HSBC customer in the country included Chalky and your brother's favourite person Miss Westbrook," said Kevin.

"Okay, let's find Jo Rowling," said Leo while scrolling down the list, "Here we are, login: jkrowling .uk. Password: P45I*34nJKlRO/2."

"Well go ahead, Leo. Let's see how much she's got," said Kevin, impressed.

"£1,487,907,481. This can't be it?" said Leo.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Bill Gates has more than £100,000,000,000 in his bank account," said Kevin.

"Maybe she has many bank accounts? Or keeps a lot under her mattress," suggested Leo.

"History is one of the most important subjects in the world," stated Ms. McFall to the class, "History tells us our roots. It tells us our history. For example the Crested Tit's history could come to an end if Wire Data go ahead and build on those trees."

Well that's chapter one for you. Please review.
