Chapter Two, Nightmares in Paris

A five year old Harry Potter grinned as he stared at himself in the mirror, today was the big family photo day and he had put on his suit all by himself, his mummy and daddy would be so proud.

Adjusting the collar on his shirt, the little boy turned around and ran out of his small room excitedly. Quickly going down the many stairs, the boys grin faded when he heard voices in the room where the photos were to be taken.

"Yes yes, now Mrs Potter a little closer to Mr Potter, Hope big smile, perfect" were the words of the photographer.

Slowly stepping up to the doorway he saw the photographer starting to take the photo of his mum, dad and twin sister. In that moment something broke inside of the normally happy five year old.

After years(well two because he didn't understand before) of being ignored by his parents who would rather play with Hope than him, years of pushing it off thinking they'd just forgotten, this was enough. For today they showed that he was not apart of their family.

And in this rage the five year old barely registered his magic roaring with him, what he did register was being painfully yanked by the arm. Yelping he saw the room in ruin, his sister crying while his mother tried to calm her and the photographer unconscious. And in it all was his father dragging him away from the room by his arm with a look of rage.

Gasping awake Harry Drake panted as the last bits of the memory was pushed to the bowels of his mind. Looking around he saw that he was still in the holding cell the Parisian Police had thrown him in after being arrested at the train station.

Frowning as he tried to recall why he was reliving the key moment that lead to him running away. After having been dragged off, James Potter beat him for the first time, though the man had felt truly horrified by his actions and had spent all day the next day healing him, it didn't stop Harry from running away the day after he was healed.

Not recalling any reason for him to have dreamed it again, the boy instead got up and walked towards the cell door. Flattening the left side of his face against the bars, he could see the guard at his desk and called out, "Oi, guard mind giving me a tennis ball" in french.

What he got in return was a heated reply to shut up and sit down. Rolling his eyes the adventurer sat back down on the bench he had slept on for what seemed to have been only an hour, but as the window in the cell was to high up for his short form to see through he couldn't really tell.

Suddenly his acute hearing picked up footsteps. Afterwards hearing a short and whispered conversation. Before the guard came up to the cell and unlocked it, "You've been bailed" the french man said gesturing for him to get out and stop wasting his time.

After getting out of the cell the policeman lead him to a cupboard and took out his duster and some other knickknacks he had had in his pockets. "The items that were on you upon your arrest"

Replacing the knickknacks in his pockets and shrugging on the duster he followed the cop, and nearly wet himself upon seeing his mentor/father figured enraged glare. "Come on" the man, Mathias Fox barked. Mathias was a man of average hight, but still could be very imposing with his bald and scarred head and dark brown, almost black eyes. The man wore a suit like Cassius, but unlike Cassius he didn't lose any fear factor with it.

"Fox" Harry said with a nervous smile, only to get a glare in return.

Fox, as Harry and Daxter called him. Had found Harry a week after he had run away and had taken him in while teaching him the tricks of the trade, and in the early year he had gone on all of Harry's adventures with him. But now the man who was passed him prime took a backseat to research tombs and plan scores.

Following the man out and into the small black car that stood parked right out side the station, Harry gulped as he saw Daxter sitting in the backseat avoiding eye contact.

Ten minutes into the drive, Harry couldn't take the silence and said "So..." only to be interrupted by Fox.

"I cant believe you Harry. Not only do you lose the score to Cassius you get arrested. I mean there was ten million American dollars in that duffle and Cassius and the guild now have it" Fox yelled.

"Hey I tired" Harry protested.

"Tried, you tried. Harry the minute you saw Cassius you should have apparated, not stood and fought like an idiot. You know you cant take Cassius, I know and sure as hell Cassius does to and yet you still stand there like and idiot"

"I" Harry feebly started.

"No shut up Harry I'm not done yet. You let your arrogance and want for a fight cloud your judgment and that is not at all what I taught you. So now I'm starting to think that I cant trust with jobs." Fox said, calming slightly.

"What cant trust me, I've been doing this for almost ten years and its just one botched up score" Harry protested.

"You got arrested Harry, remember the first rule huh, dont let any type of government worker or cop feel the need to be suspicious of you." Fox said his hands gripping the wheel tighter causing his knuckles to go white.

"Then how do I regain your trust" Harry said crossing his arms.

Fox let a smirk creep onto his face, "Glad you asked, to regain my trust your going to steal the Taulos Flame. Which is in Hogwarts, England"

"So to regain your trust after losing it while stealing something is to steal something"

"Harry Harry Harry, the Taulos flame is located in Albus Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts, the safest place in England. If you can steal it I wont have to doubt your abilities ever again" Fox said smirking as he pulled up in front of an inn.

"Heres where your rooms located, heres the room key and you and Daxter have a year to steal the flame, if you dont, then dont try to find me and for now my phone number will remain the same, if you need to contact me this year" Fox said.

"What" Harry gasped, dont try to find him, he was practically his father.

"Get out Harry, your next adventure is calling, and if you fail...Well lets not think about that"
