Chapter 2: The Letter
Disclaimer: See chapter 1
"Sir, our radars have detected something unusual." Alex, a tall blonde haired scientist told Harry, who was just stepping out of the training room. Harry had kept to his normal schedule of waking up at six in the morning to train for three hours, like usual and it was now nine, time for breakfast. His eyebrow rose and he turned his head slightly up to meet his top Professor in the eyes.
"Oh?" he asked elegantly. "Is the situation serious?" From the look on Alex's face it was either very serious or extremely shocking. "Sir we managed to detect the energy on the radar- Energy that matches none of our frequencies in the database, although it is slightly similar to the frequencies done from your experiments."
Harry frowned slightly, "I don't see the problem Alex, add it to the database and be done with it." He said it, wondering what had gotten into him. Alex knew the whole procedure. Hell he had come up with it together with the other heads of Lightning Incorporated, and Harry himself.
But Alex wasn't done, "Sir, as per procedure we set a satellite on the coordinates and took close-up pictures of the area. We found… Sir, we found an owl flying, heading in our direction."
Harry just waited, knowing that there would be more coming, an idea of what it was already in his head. He was right. "Sir, there was a letter tied to the claws. By our estimation it should be here right about…Now."
There was a click of the mailbox, and Harry heard a letter slide in. Yep, he was correct.
When he had taken over his relatives as 'ruler' of the city, he hadn't just killed them and taken over. He had planned out everything meticulously, going over to people, introducing him-self, making trusted friends and showing them what he was capable of doing.
He told them the Dursley's secret to the power they wielded and how he wanted a better future for the town. He had gotten followers relatively quickly. Alex was only one of them and was the first one really, he had learned a lot from Alex, who was a scientific genius.
After a year of tutoring under him Harry himself was no slouch and could hold his own in any hi-tech conversation.
His Sensei, Master Shang-li had been released from Harry's control and talked to next. After much convincing, he too decided to help Harry, and he now served as Head of Security together with the former Chief of Police.
Slowly but surely, the town stopped being a town, people who wanted to escape were aloud to leave, with there memories wiped of course, and Harry had Alex register themselves as Lightning Incorporated, owner of Surrey.
Everyone who lived there had jobs; all the jobs were for the sole purpose of helping Lighting increase its empire. Harry was literally running a 'legal' mafia. There were plenty people who wanted mercenaries and that was one of the few things Lightning supplied. Others being Information and research for sale.
Harry, with his knowledge of the magical world had explained it to the best of his abilities to the Research Department, and had them coming up with theories of how magic worked, how to block it, and a scientific equivalent.
They had found out that like all other types of energy, magic is really just electromagnetic radiation (EMR), reaching frequencies never reached before. The scales in the lab had to be expanded to measure higher frequencies as well as lower ones, but after this discovery, they quickly made progress, learning that powerful offensive spells were pretty high up on the scale and defensive spells were exact opposite reaching same just going down instead of up.
Frequencies that low messed around with the EMR on more normal frequencies, thus screwing up any electricity in the area, which was why areas like Hogwarts, electricity didn't work.
They had of course found a way around this, once it was found that magic is EMR the simple action on using lead to block out the waves worked and everything worked like a charm.
Besides for discovering ways to make magic work with technology, they also worked on building 'suppressors' which essentially suppressed and absorbed the range of EMR needed to use magic, within a certain radius. One of the first models was integrated into the wards and they all worked perfectly.
Shaking himself out of thought Harry picked up the letter and looked at it.
Mr. H. Potter

Realization dawned that his wards and his protections had blocked the Hogwarts and Ministry sensors. He smiled to himself as the answer as to why the Ministry never interfered finally came to him.
Opening the envelope he took out the letter which was on a thick yellow old looking paper. Paper he recognized as parchment.
Just then his wards told him that someone had tried to apparate in and head been re-directed to the boundary of Surrey.
From the power behind the apparation Harry recognized it was Dumbledore. Quickly adjusting his looks and grumbling about the lack of breakfast he went of to meet one of the most powerful wizards of all time.
A/N: Okay this chapter was supposed to be much longer, but do to boredom, reviews and the absolute lack of ideas for my other story I decided to end this now, put it up and see how many reviews I could get.
