Most of you have read enough of these stories to know what I am going to say, I don't own The world of Harry Potter or any of its occupants. I do this for fun and hopefully for your entertainment.

A/N: I am glad some of you like this and hopefully my last one as well. I am planning on one chapter a week but with Christmas a week from tomorrow I am not sure if this will be out on time. This story will take off here soon, I know it is starting slow but it will get better in the next couple of chapters. Thank you for reading.

Chapter 3 Wizard trial in Salem

Harry awoke early on the next day, he showered and got dressed for the day, when he got to the kitchen he was surprised to find that Ginny was already there, he was used to being up before everyone else. He always had been the first one up since he was at the Dursley's, and had to fix breakfast.

"You are up early, he whispered in Ginny's ear as he wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her neck".

"I wanted to send you off with a good breakfast, you won't be back till the weekend. I packed a weeks worth of your stuff, not sure if there is anything else you want to take". Ginny said stiffly.

"Did I do something wrong", Harry asked as he turned Ginny around and saw tears in her eyes.

"No, I am just going to miss you, I just got you back and now we will be apart most of the time and I don't even have my family here to talk to".

Harry kissed her head then spun on his heals and headed to his room. When he returned he handed Ginny a engraved mirror, "I was going to give this to you today anyway but watch". Harry looked in the mirror and said "Ron".

Out of the mirror a squeak was heard and then Ron's Voice "Bloody hell Harry, give a guy a warning when you give him a mirror like this". Harry could see Ron with no shirt on and hear Hermione in the background laughing.

"Sorry, I just wanted to show Ginny she can keep in touch, I will call your mom, bye. Molly".

"Harry dear I am so good you called".

"I can't talk long I have to catch a train to Salem but here is Ginny".

"Ginny all your family, Hermione and I have these mirrors just say who you want to talk to and you can reach them and if you say more than one you will have more than one connection but can only see the one who is talking. I need to eat and get going".

Ginny was had a huge smile on her face as she chatted with her mother. Harry ate and kissed Ginny and left to catch a cab. Harry would take the train today as he was told, next trip he would use the portkey, he needed to learn more of American culture and how the norms, as muggles were called here, lived.

Harry bought his ticket to Boston and when he arrived in Boston , he would catch a commuter train on the MBTA to the station at Salem and Frank would pick him up there. Harry would go to his office at the FBI/WAB on Friday but it was really only there for him to have a place to get messages and get his next place to be when he finished what he was doing. He would stay in Salem for the week and back to Washington on Friday afternoon to do his report for the minister then spend the week end with Ginny.

Harry waited on the platform on for the train Harry mused that he had never caught a muggle train before except when Hagrid had sent him home on one right after his first trip to Diagon Alley, he had ridden the underground but the only real train he had ridden had been the Hogwarts Express. Harry felt the feel of a magical aura around him and casually looked around and saw the slight distortion of a disillusionment spell. Harry almost drew his wand but resisted the urge, he didn't need to freak out the norms on the platform by sending spells flying at someone that may or may not be an enemy. He was no longer a wanted man and the death eaters either didn't remember him or didn't know his current location.

Harry acted like he didn't see the person and boarded the train casually but kept the person in sight. As Harry boarded the train and took a seat away from the door watched as the disillusioned person sat at the opposite end of the car near the loo. About fifteen minutes into the trip Harry got up and went to the bathroom, he went in took out his wand and cast a illusion over his hand to look like it was empty. Harry went back out into the car and sat down next to the disillusioned person, sticking his wand in the persons side and whispered, "Petrificus Totalus". Harry then set up a notice me not charm and a privacy charm. Harry then released the spell but only for the persons mouth. "Now, may I ask why someone would be walking around disillusioned?"

"I am Franks assistant, Bill, he told me to follow you and keep you out of trouble. You have a reputation for having trouble find you, and people dieing all around you. You can reach into my pocket and get my ID".

"Accio ID. Wingardium Leviosa". Harry floated the ID in front of him and check it for spells and that it was real and then released the man from the spell. "Here is your ID back".

"I don't appreciate you doing that to me, I will be lodging a complaint".

"I have been fighting a war for more time than I wish to think and don't appreciate what you were doing, you are lucky that I am not wand happy, or you would be laying back on the platform and possibly not getting back up".

"I am not worried about you, I have been an Auror for 20 years and am a good dueler. If you had not been sneaky, you would not have been able to take me".

"Ok, I will make sure to tell the bad guys that being sneaky is not allowed".

They sat in silence the rest of the way to the station at Salem, Frank was waiting as Harry walked off seemingly the only one, after the train pulled out Harry reilluisoned Bill. Bill looked like he was ready to explode. "Sir, I want to lodge my complaint with you, Mr. Potter attacked me on the way here and almost let out our secret".

Harry quickly explained that he was not going to chance that Bill had been a enemy. He had made sure to protect against norms noticing him and if he really wanted to he could have just killed him. He also suggested that maybe Bill should work on his disillusionment charm.

Bill was ready to spit nails but Frank let him know that Harry was right even if Harry had not been correct in the way he had handled it. Frank then let Harry know that America was not at war and he was not to behave as if everyone was his enemy and to quit needling Bill.

"That is going to be hard if me to do, as I have lived with death tracking me for the last 8 years. I have fought one of the worst dark wizards in history and his scummy friends since I was 11 years old, and I guess if you want to get even more specific I have had a death sentence since I was a year old. I still have people who would like to see me dead, and if you have ever had to deal with dark wizards you do too, letting your guard down will get you killed. It would have been smarter for Bill to act as if he was a muggle, sorry norm that was headed the same way as I was and that would have been smarter".

"I don't need a stinking limey talking to me like that".

"Bill, Harry both of you need to calm down. Bill, you have been an auror for 20 years, you know what Harry has said is right, you underestimated Harry and now you are pissed. Harry you need to learn a little tact and work with people better. Now lets get to the car before the next train comes, we have a whole day of stuff to do and a tight schedule for four days and then we can all take the weekend and get away from each other".

"Bill was glaring at Harry and Harry put out his hand, "Bill I'm sorry but it is different for me to be where at least for the moment no one is trying to kill me", Harry put a smile on his face.

"I unders..", Bill toppled forward and Harry's wand was in his hand throwing up a quick shield in front of Frank as a curse came flying his way. Harry then quickly dodged a third spell and sent back a stunner knocking over one of 5 attackers. Harry then dove for cover behind a trash can as a bludgener hit and splintered the pole behind where he was standing. Harry saw that Frank had a bad cut on his shoulder and was bleeding badly. Harry pulled out Dumbledors old wand and popped up long enough to see where the last 4 wizards were at, four spells went sailing over his head as he ducked back then dove for the cover of another bench firing four well place curses as he rolled for cover. Harry checked again and saw that all five wizards had been incapacitated. Looking at the damage he had done to them, he had to chuckle at the fact that he hadn't even thought of disarming them. Harry had certainly changed over the last few years.

Harry bound all five wizards and took their wands and then fixed Frank's shoulder. "I guess you were right about being on guard. I never have seen anyone react to an attack the way you did today". Harry gave him a blood replenish.

While he walked over to wake up Bill. "When you are on the run from dark wizards for better than two years, have been hunted for your whole life, and are always are out numbered by the bad guys you have to be sharp or you are dead. I have seen friends lose the edge, or not have it at all and lose their lives because of it, I don't like losing friends and I am going to take anyone who gets me with me".

"Thanks for that shield, I was surprised it stopped that impailer that was one strong shield. I would have been dead if it hadn't worked".

"Well, I don't know you well but I feel I can trust you, and I don't let people I trust become pin cushions if I can help it".

Bill was still sitting shook up. Harry made 5 port keys to a location that Frank had told him and sent their five attackers away. "Let's get out of here before either the next train or another group of those dark types show up".

Frank had Harry drive even though he had never before done so, and soon they were safe in the training facility of the North Eastern American state aurors.

A/N: Well got it written but needs edited which I will do when the story is done. Didn't cover everything I wanted in this chapter, to tell the truth the a fight broke out and Harry had to deal with it.
