Chapter 2

"Good Morning Sherriff." S.A.R.A.H. said. "You have two Messages."

"Good morning S.A.R.A.H." Jack said. "Play messages, please."

Jack I need to meet with you tomorrow morning ASAP. We need to go over some of the supplies requests from your office. Allison's voice was heard on the first message.

Its Jenny. I have a little boy who needs a good home and a loving family. He seems like he would fit in quite well with your group. If you or some one you know would like to adopt him please let me know soon. I don't think he will react well here. the second message was someone he hadn't heard in awhile. He knew she would only call if she had nowhere else to turn to.

"S.A.R.A.H. did she sound upset to you?"

"Her vocals were uneven, and she did seem to be worried about something."

"Thanks S.A.R.A.H. I am going to meet with Allison and see if we have a family who wants to adopt a child. Door." Jack said as he walked to the door.

"Hello Jack," Allison greeted as he walked into her office.

"Morning Allison. What is the problem with the supplies?"

"4 office chairs, a desk, and 5 cots. Why so many?"

"Either Jo or I have lost an office chair for one reason or another every week, and trying to get them replaced is a big hassle so if we already have them on hand we wont have to go thru the hassle but once a month. Same for the cots. Plus Jo's desk was destroyed yesterday."

"OK then I will aprove this time."

"There is something else I wanted to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"When I got up earlier there was a message from an old friend of mine. We met when I was stationed in DC. My whole team had to attend a first aid refresher course with some of the other government employees. Jenny was the teachers assistant. When the building went into lock down due to a bomb scare she was talking to my group. It was kind of nice to talk to someone on the outside without having to worry about security clearance. It was a shame that she left government work after the loss of her husband. She was a great asset the country. It didn't surprise anyone when she went to work in the orphanage her husband was raised in. I guess our loss is the children's gain. Any way during one of our resent conversations it came up that I work with some very unique people, and she joked that if she found out that one of her kids would fit in with us then she would call me. She is a nurse in the McGregor Orphanage just outside of Fairfax, Virginia. She said that she had a little boy who would fit in well with us, but the thing is she sounded kind of desperate. Like she feared for this child. She wouldn't call me unless she was out of options. Now I was wondering if there was anyone here that was looking to adopt a child."

"I will send out an email and find out. While I review the families I want you to go find out more about the child and if you think he would fit here then I will get the DOD to help get him here."

"Thanks Allison," Jack smiled as he left.

Jack Carter drove through a set of imposing wrought iron gates to an estate that only could be described as an old mansion and fairly run down. Some of the children stopped whatever they were doing and stared after the car. Others were trying to run alongside it, waving excitedly at him.

He parked the car on a small parking lot right outside the big house. It didn't take long before a horde of children ran over to him, followed more reservedly by one of their care takers, a young woman in her older twenties. The children stopped a few steps away and let the woman approach the group alone while they whispered to each other and eyed the stranger curiously.

"Hi", the care taker said as she got closer and smiled brightly, holding out her hand. "I am Sarah, Nurse Jenny's Assistant. You must be Jack Carter?"

"Yes, I am," Jack said and took the offered hand in his.

"Well, Jenny asked me to show you to her office as soon as you got here, so if you please follow me, I'll take you to her." Jack followed her into the building to a room full of younger children. "Wait here I will go get Jenny."

Jack walked through the room soaking in the scene. Children ran laughing and screaming through the play room. They all looked so happy. Suddenly he stopped. He saw a boy sitting in the corner on his bed. He couldn't be much more than two years old. He was quietly playing with some blocks. He walked closer and immediately saw what had caught his attention. The boy's eyes were the most beautiful shade of green he had ever seen. His hair was black and extremely untamed. Jack bent down so he was at eye level with the boy.

"Hi, my name is Jack, what's yours?"

The little boy looked at him and shrugged.

Jack smiled, "What is that your playing with?"

The little boy held out one of the blocks to him with his little hand.

"For me?" Jack smiled as the boy dropped the block in his hand.

He stood back up and the little boy looked up at him.

"Leave?" The little child asked with hurt in his voice.

Jack felt his heart breaking for the child in front of him. He shook his head. "No."

The child smiled and held out another block for him. For the first time Jack saw the lightening shaped scar gracing the top of the boy's forehead. What had happened to this child?

"Ah, Jack I see you meet Harry," said a soft voice behind him.

"Hey Jenny. His name is Harry? Is he the one you wanted me to meet?" Jack asked.

"Yes to both. We can talk in my office, bring your friends. Hey Harry would you like to come with me and your new friend to talk in my office?" Jenny asked the boy softly.

Harry smiled at her and nodded. She took his hand and lead them into her office. "Your books are in the same place sweetie."

"Sank oo" Harry said softly as he walked over to a low book case and sat on the floor to read on of the books .

To put the boy at ease Jack asked, "What can you tell me about this orphanage?"

Jenn said, "Well, I've been told that the house and the land surrounding it once belonged to this extremely rich old lady who loved children, and when she died, she wanted her house to be turned into an orphanage. Some of the kids here have already had their fair share of bad experiences."

"Ok, Jen tell me what you know about him."

"He came to use in the middle of November last year. Some one left this note with him," Jenn handed him the note.

Jack read the note:

This is Harry. He was born on July 31. He is a year old. His parents were killed by a member of organized crime. The employees of the criminal are still after young Harry. He has no other family. He would be in dangers if he stayed with me. Please take care of him.

"Was there an investigation when he got here?" Jack asked as he handed the back.

"Yes but they didn't find anything."

"So tell me about Harry," Jack said.

"Well he will be 2 in 4 months. He can read and is already potty trained. The older kids pick on him due to his speech and because when he gets upset weird things happen around him. The owners are starting to take an interest in him and that is never good."

Jenny told him just as a bell rang, "Harry go eat." They watched Harry put his book back an join the other children in the hall. "Ok, Jack, here is the situation. I don't trust the owners. I am here under orders to investigate them. While doing so I am also trying to get the at risk kids out of here. I haven't told my boss everything about Harry due to the fact I wont trust him to just anyone."

"What is it about this kid that requires such action?"

"Do you remember when I went to visit my cousin in England a few years ago?"

"Yeah, you said that it isn't safe over there with all the magical community at war. That took a lot to except. I mean I never even thought such things were really and to find out one of my best friends was raised in it was weird. Even though you cant due magic to see such things must have been amazing." Jack answered her with a grin.

"I don't doubt that," Jenn said with a grin. "On Halloween of last year the leader of the rebels attacked a family and killed the mother and father. The child survived a curse no one has ever survived before, and in doing so he destroyed the rebel leader know as Lord Voldemort. Now the entire society views the child as a hero. They call him the boy who lived. The magical community was told that the child was placed with his aunt at a undisclosed location. Harry is that child. I knew as soon as I saw the scar on his forehead. That is were the killing curse hit him."

"So you want him to have a normal live but also to have protection from the rebels,and his scar is that noticeable?" Jack clarified.

"Yes, that is if you don't mind raising a magical child?" Jenn confirmed.

"Not at all. He will just need training in both his magic and self defiance," Jack informed her.

"I can give you contact information so that you can start his magical training when he is ready, and I am sure you can handle the self-defense. Thank you, Jack, this means a lot to me. Now I will take you to Harry while I get the papers needed." Jenn said with gratitude.

Walking into the lunchroom they walked right over to Harry, and Jack sat down as Jenn told Harry that Jack would be spending some time with him while she went to deal with a few things.

"So Harry can I ask you a few questions?" Harry just nodded. "Ok, what do you like to eat?"

Harry shrugged.

"Is there any thing you won't eat?"

Harry shrugged.

"You don't feel like talking do you?"

Harry shook his head.

'Well how about a walk then and you can show me what you like to do here?" Jack asked.

"K" Harry replied quietly as he stood up.

"Aw ickle Harry has a playmate," one of the older children sneered. "Is he your special friend Harry?"

The boy seemed to shrink in on himself as big tears began to roll down his cheeks. He then ran out of the room. Jack glared at the teen before quickly following Harry. He found him under a tree in the far corner of the courtyard. Jack didn't even think when he grabbed Harry by the waist and pulled him over onto his lap. He struggled a little at first, but when he felt that Jack wasn't going to let go, he just gave in, buried his face against Jack's chest and started to cry harder.

Jack did the only thing he could think of that moment and wrapped his arms protectively around the boy, just letting him cry. He felt the little body shake by each sob that forced its way out and how his shirt got wet by Harry's tears. Softly he began to hum as he rocked the boy back and forth, soothingly caressing his soft hair. The melody was from a song his grandmother used to sing for him when he was a little boy. He didn't remember the words, but he would never forget the melody. He had always been calmed by it and hoped that the boy would be too.

After some time, Jack felt the boy relax a little and heard his crying subside. He took some deep breaths and lifted his head slightly so that he could dry his cheeks with the back of his hand before snuggling against Jack as close as he could get. Jack was a little surprised by this, but he felt that the boy needed it and therefore just hugged him close.

"Feeling better now, kid?" he mumbled in Harry's ear. Harry nodded and closed his eyes.

He looked down at Harry and suddenly he felt a great jolt in his heart. He didn't know how he knew it, but somehow, deep inside him, he just knew that Harry was the one. He was meant to become his son. There was no way Jack could let him go now. He was going to take him home, no matter what. He didn't care how many forms they had to fill or how many social workers they had to convince. Harry was going to be his.

"Harry, how would you like to go home with me as my son?" Jack asked quietly.

"waewee?" Harry asked .

"Really," Jack answered with a smile.
