Still don't own Potter or RWBY. (Do we have to put that in all the chapters?)
Chapter 4:
Once Glynda was awakened she and Amber took Harry and gang for a nice tour of Vale. Ozpin had given them papers with a fake background that pretty much stated that they were from an outlying village but that the village had been destroyed by grimm. He also promised to have papers made for Augusta, Remus, Sirius and Tonks while asking them to limit the people who came over for now. He asked Luna if she wanted papers made for her father but was told that he had passed away during the summer of the year before.
He tried to be around for Luna's sake but once he knew Luna didn't need him anymore he finally let himself join his wife Selene in death. Luna had mourned her father but with the help of Neville and the others she had managed to get through her grief.
Glynda was really helpful in helping them get around, she showed them all the major locations near their new headquarters, stuff like libraries, grocery stores, pawn shop where they could sell some metals for lien, dust shops if they wanted to experiment now that they had access to it and she showed them the police department. She told them that the police would generally do their own thing but if hunters were around they usually welcomed any help they were willing to dish out.
They had been walking all morning and just seemed to be enjoying a nice stroll when a group of guys walking in the opposite direction saw Hermione. "Hey Faunus bitch, why are you in our neighborhood." One of the idiots takes a leash out of his pocket.
"We have leash laws for a reason kitten, come here so we can treat you like the animal you are."
They started gathering a crowd and while some seemed disgusted by their behavior more and more around them were laughing. Harry looked around and noticed that they were surrounded and while yes he was pissed and he knew it would not be a good idea to get in a fight. It was their first full day here and they didn't really need the first impression of being violent. "Now guys, I would say gentlemen but no decent man would ever talk to a lady like that.
"How about you guys walk away now and Neville here." Harry points to Neville. Neville is over 6.6 feet tall and built like a brick house. He is also holding his axe with a pretty mean look on his face. "And I won't take further offense to the garbage coming out of your mouths."
You could never really accuse Harry of being diplomatic and his way with words was kind of the final tipping point for some of the idiots and they attacked. None of them had weapons from what they could see so Neville sadly put his axe away and Harry just let himself fall into a fighting stance. Now normally Glynda's reputation would stop shit like this from happening it seems that these idiots didn't recognize her.
They had 15 guys around them and normally 15 on 6 wouldn't be too bad with trained soldiers but neither Luna nor Amber where any good at hand to hand fighting so they were pushed in the middle of the fighters.
Instead of waiting for them to close in Neville rushed the biggest cluster he could see and started a fight against 6 of them. He might not be the fastest fighter but when he hit you it hurt and depending where, broken or knocked out. He grabbed two of them in his hands and just knocked their heads against each other and then their were 4.
After dropping one of the unconscious idiots he threw the other one at the others. 3 of them managed to duck their flying friend but the last one got hit by the friendly missile. The other 3 though that if they rushed Neville together they could take him. One of them tried to punch him in the face while the other 2 just tried to jump on top of him. He let the punch hit him while he caught one of the jumping ones and used him to bash the other jumping one out of the air. Both jumpers were dazed and the one who threw the punch now had a broken hand and started running away.
While Neville was having his fun that still let 3 fighters each for the others. That is, it would of been the smart thing for them to do. Instead of that they ignored Harry and Glynda and all went for Hermione thinking she would of been an easy target. Harry and Glynda both managed to stop 2 each from getting to Hermione.
Cats are vicious, cats are agile and cats are fast. Hermione is now part cat, without even using her claws she jumped into the group of 5 idiots and started punching and kicking and she even bit the idiot with the leash just because she thought it would be funny. It seemed like she was everywhere and nowhere at once. She even managed to cause 2 of the guys to knock out each other.
Before anyone could count to 20 all 14 thugs that hadn't run away were on the ground. They could hear sirens in the background so just waited for the cops to show.
If Glynda had not been with them they would've probably been arrested and charged for assault. One of the cops when he saw Hermione tried to have her in handcuffs without even bothering to ask any questions. He soon found himself without handcuffs and flat on his back. The other cops looked pissed at that, and that's when Glynda cleared her throat and gave them the ripping they needed to do their job.
After a pleasant lunch they soon found themselves in the basement of their new headquarters soon to be business center for their network of satellites. Glynda was with them because she was curious on how they would open the portal and needed to take pictures of all the new arrivals so they could make them their papers and back stories. Harry started directing the group. "Luna and Hermione you guys open up the portal and this time make it a permanent connection. Grimmauld place is already warded to the yang and I'll be making at least the basement just as warded. While the girls are anchoring the portal to make it permanent Neville will go through and make sure the others are ready."
Glynda watched as Luna took out a piece of chalk and just made the outline of a big door in the wall. She was shocked when said outline grew out and spread inward and burst into a portal not unlike the one they had arrived in. She asked Hermione what kind of chalk it was.
Hermione smiled at her. "It's just normal chalk but it had to be soaked for 7 days in a potion that takes 7 weeks to brew. Normally it would open a portal to a random world but somehow Harry's connection to Amber he was able to I guess you could call it set the chalk portal to this world without any trial or error. To return it's even easier, the first half of the portal we had to make a permanent emplacement so we drew it in the wall of a heavy warded location.
"By this time tomorrow once the others are all here, Harry will add a Fidelius charm to the basement and make it even more secure."
She then had to explain to Glynda what a Fidelius was and what other wards where possible. They then discussed the possibility of making a ward against grimm. Hermione promised to look into it.
While Neville crossed over into grimmauld place with Luna going along Harry with Hermione's help warded their new headquarters. They added fireproofing, bug repellents, anti spying charms, anti trespassing and anything else they could think on the spot.
Glynda left them to go back to Beacon and Harry, Amber with Hermione decided they wanted to go for a drink. Walking around again they saw a club just called Junior's.
The atmosphere in the club was a little gloomy, a bunch of guys wearing identical suits were sitting around the club. Looking around it looked more like a clubhouse for some gang then a bar, they walked to the bar and all ordered a beer. They grabbed their beers and sat at a table.
They discussed things for a bit had a good time just talking. Amber and Hermione leading the conversation so they could get to know each other better. Harry was content in letting them talk just enjoying their company, he got up to get another round.
The guy manning the bar was the only one wearing a different color than the thugs. He looked at Harry and started talking. "Haven't seen you guys in the area before. Name's Junior, as you can tell from the name this is my club."
Harry ordered another three beers. "Name's Harry, we just moved into the area. Hermione and I plus two of our friends are starting over at Beacon soon. Some of our older relatives are moving into the area tomorrow to start our new business idea." They talked for a bit and Harry was starting to get an uncomfortable feeling. He just had a gut feeling that something was off about Junior and not to trust him too much. He soon made his excuses and walked back to his table.
On the way back to his table he noticed 2 new additions among the room. Twins from what he could see, one wearing all white and the other probably her sister wearing all red. They had this look in their eyes that pretty much cried for help. Harry recognized the look from when he was a young child looking into the mirror. When he got back to his table he left Amber and Hermione their beers, dropped his on the table and walked towards the twins.
When Harry started walking towards them the noise in the bar just dimmed. More and more of the thugs realized where he was going and some started laughing at him while others would grab their beer and pretend to be busy somewhere else. The twins just watched as he got closer and didn't say anything.
Harry decided to have a little fun at the expense of everyone. When he got to the twin wearing white he extended his hand. When she went to grab it he got to it first twisted her hand and gave it a little gentleman kiss to her knuckles. "My name is Harry."
She giggled a bit. "My name is Melanie and this is my sister Miltia." Harry gave Miltia's hand a little kiss as well and invited them to their table.
When they were all sitting down Harry introduced Amber and Hermione. They talked for a bit about the area when Harry asked why they were working in the club with Junior.
Melanie seemed to be the spokesperson in the duo and would answer that they had no choice. Their mom was sick and couldn't work and they piled up massive debt just trying to keep themselves fed and have a roof over their heads that they had been pretty much bought by Junior. They were expected to fight for Junior and help him harass the neighborhood.
Neither of the twins realized that Harry had put a little truth spell on them. He just wanted to cut to the chase and avoid all the bullshit.
Miltia looked ashamed of herself. "He's been after to us to become his arm candy but we have managed to turn him down on that. But he's getting more and more persistent."
Amber and Hermione both had furious looks on their faces and hoped Harry could find a way to help them. Harry asked them if they had any interest in joining Beacon, he saw the way they walked that they knew how to fight.
They said that joining Beacon used to be their dream, their father had been a hunter but he had gotten killed in a bar fight. Now they just want to be near their mom and protect her while she heals.
Harry offered them both a job. He explained to them that he needed a small security team of capable fighters. People who could help their new business area stay safer and act like bodyguards for some non-combatants coming to the area soon. He told them the pay would be high and as a signing bonus if they were willing to take over responsibility of gathering a efficient team Harry would pay their debt.
When asked what he was expecting from them personally for this help and why he was doing this Harry just answered with his normal charismatic self. When you have money it's no use hiding it in a bank wasting away. He told them what caught his attention when he first saw them and that he felt a slight connection to them and just wanted to help them.
Negotiations with Junior were not going very well, that is till Hermione grabbed him by the balls and just let him sweat. When they were leaving Melanie just told him that Junior would want his revenge. She warned that once their business was up and running he would be around looking for protection money.
Amber just laughed. Let him try.
