First Impression

Anthea was her new name. The code name she used now as personal assistant and bodyguard of Mycroft Holmes, the brain behind British government. She was a secret agent, formerly employed by MI5 and proficient in several languages. She also had mastery in martial arts.

The offer to work for Mr. Holmes came a few months ago and Anthea accepted it. The previous assistant had tried to seduce him to get hold of state's secret. Her whereabouts now was unknown. Since the incident, Mr. Holmes had screened the list of possible candidate and came with her name.

He needed assistant who was available twenty four hours a day, concentrated, focused and highly dedicated to work. So far, Anthea was able to meet his expectation. She had to admit though that he was an eccentric boss and with the way his brain worked, many had jokingly called him robot.

She knew he wasn't a robot. Aside of his occupation, Mr. Holmes cared for two things: his brother and his wife. He cared deeply for his younger brother and his wife. The younger brother, Sherlock, was a genius like Mr. Holmes, and quite a menace on his own. Mrs. Holmes was unknown. Anthea had never met with Mrs. Holmes although she heard that she came from old aristocratic family which suit Mr. Holmes fine and Mr. Holmes was forever ordering gifts for his wife. What she knew was Mrs. Holmes was a snake lover.

Mr. Holmes had several offices scattered around London. He had office in Vauxhall that he used when dealing with MI6, he also had office in Thames House for MI5 business, as well as office in Whitehall. The place he visited the most was his office in Diogeness Club which was founded by the man himself.

In each places, there was a snake tank. Sometimes, those tanks were empty. But most of the time, those tanks were inhabited by venomous snake. Anthea noted that venomous and deadly snake were always there whenever Mr. Holmes had visitor. The snake would keep hissing and people wanted to finish their business as soon as possible and got out from there, which was pretty understandable.

At the beginning of her career, she had voiced her concern when she saw the tank was empty and the cobra had disappeared. It wouldn't do if the snake got loose and bit Mr. Holmes.

Mr. Holmes however dismissed her concern. "My wife will take care of it," he said.

She had never met Mrs. Holmes in flesh though but that was about to change.

"Prepare the documents for the next day meeting. I will be there in thirty minutes."

"Yes, Sir."

Anthea was in Vauxhall right now. She quite like the office since it had lovely scenery of River Thames. After putting the paper in the folder, she walked to Mr. Holmes's office and stopped dead in her track. Someone was there. Anthea automatically reached for her gun.

The intruder turned. She was a gorgeous woman with green eyes and dark hair that was pulled in bun. The woman was holding a snake in her hand. A cobra to be precise.

Anthea knew instanly who she was. "Mrs. Holmes." Mrs. Holmes wasn't like her imagination. She had thought of her like one of those aristocratic ladies in TV drama.

"Just Harry," Mrs. Holmes said, smiling. "Mrs. Holmes made me feel old." It was true. She looked like she was in beginning of twenty. She also looked like one of those models in cover of Vogue of Bazaar magazine.

Anthea regarded her warily.

Mrs. Holmes sat in sofa and indicated Anthea to sit in front of her. "Anthea, isn't it?"

Anthea nodded.

"My husband has said good things about you." The cobra now lay next to Mrs. Holmes, hissing loudly. Mrs. Holmes patted it's head.

It was hard for Anthea to watch it. She feared that the snake would bite Mrs. Holmes. If that happened in her watch, her head would roll. She secretly texted Mr. Holmes, telling him that his wife was here now.

"Would you like a tea?" Mrs. Holmes asked.

Anthea blinked. She was sure that the tea set wasn't there before.

Mrs. Holmes poured the tea for her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Holmes." She replied politely.

"Harry, please." Mrs. Holmes, err, Harry reminded her.

What was Mrs. Holmes doing here actually?

"Mycroft is very busy." Harry said. "You've been very helpful to him."

Mrs. Holmes came there to interrogate her. It was her conclusion. Of course, Mrs. Holmes was smiling all the time and kept feeding her cake but she managed to wrangle out many things from Anthea. Things she never told anyone. It was ridiculous. She was a trained secret agent with years of experience and she was bested. How could Mrs. Holmes do that anyway? Anthea wanted to get out from there as soon as possible without offending her employee's wife in the process.

The door opened and Mr. Holmes walked in.

Harry brightened. "Mycroft, I'm waiting for you," she said.

"I apologize, dear." Mr. Holmes replied. He joined his wife in the sofa.

The cobra hissed.

Mrs. Holmes patted its head.

The cobra slithered away.

Anthea shuddered. "The folder is in your desk, Sir," she said.

"Thank you, Anthea." Mr. Holmes replied. "You may leave now."

Anthea nodded, glad that she was able to leave.

As soon as the door was closed, Mycroft Holmes turned to his wife. "Was it to your satisfaction?" he inquired.

"Quite." Harry replied, stirring the tea. The Veritaserum did its job very well.

Author's Note:

Since I found out about female Harry Potter, I want to try it for once. The image I have for Harry is Manon Leloup, a French model. Try google her by Manon Leloup Editorial keyword, the image of her in yellow dress with her hair pulled up is the picture I have in my mind for female Harry.

For more than a year, can't be accessed in my country. The old cow banned it because is thought to contain inappropriate material. By some miracle, maybe the ban is lifted (hopefully), I can open and log into . However, I am not certain how long this will last.

If any of you know how to overcome the ban, please inform me. I will be very grateful.

Meanwhile, I will put the copy of my works in AO3. I will always post in here first because I like the reviews and hits which I can get but I also want to be able to access my works. However, I also don't know how long AO3 will last but the site will do temporally.
