The Calm Before the Storm
After the shock had finally worn off, and he was revived, Harry barricaded himself in his room. He planned to do some work outs to relieve the stress.
Harry worked himself in all aspects of bodybuilding he could. He did push ups, curls, pull ups, and stretches. He conjured a set of weights he had seen Dudley use at one time and lifted. He lifted until his arms were too tired to flex.
He worked his legs doing squats and stand jumping, from the floor to his bed and back again; He worked himself into exhaustion. He did not want to dwell on what was told to him. He needed a break from all the stress and good hard physical labor was just what he needed.
As Harry collapsed on the bed, Ginny and Abbi entered the room cautiously and Crystal trotting behind them.
"Hello Harry," said Abbi, moving next to Harry and Ginny, who had crawled up next to him and resting her head on Harry's stomach and she laid down on the spacious bed.
"Hey Abbi, Ginny, How are you two?" asked Harry tiredly.
"We are fine Harry. The question is how are you?" asked Ginny.
"I don't know. I have no idea why I passed out. I know it was not from shock because I have handled stuff greater then that and not passed out. I have been pondering over it for a while now. There has to be some reason why it happened," said Harry, sounding puzzled.
"Don't worry Harry everything will turn out fine," said Abbi.
Ruffling her hair slightly Harry said, "Your right Abbi, your absolutely right."
"Well aren't women always right," said Ginny, with a gleam in her eye.
"Yes, Gin, yes you're always right," said Harry.
"Good."

As Harry entered his mind, he marveled at how much he had come through in his training in such a short time. Everyday since the Azkaban raid, he had been given a different location each time. All the places, though, had been places with huge crowds or would be a major victory if concurred by Death Munchers.
He had been at a battle at Azkaban, Diagon Ally, The Ministry, Hogsmeade, and Hogwarts. Each time he had a different team to lead and sometimes, like Azkaban, he worked alone. He understood why they kept repeating, it was to notice escape routes
and work with different people.
"Hey Harry," said Godric
"Hey Goddy," Said Harry.
"Harry! What have I told you about calling me that! I simply hate that name!" said Godric fuming.
"And that's why I call you it. I do it just to get on you nerves, Goddy," said Harry, trying to hold in his laughter.
"Why you little..." said Godric, ready to leap on Harry.
While placing a calming hand on Godric's shoulder Rowena said, "Now Goddy, don't be getting after him just yet. You both and Merlin have something special to do today."
"What is it?" asked both Harry and Godric.
"Well once Merlin is done setting up he will tell you," said Rowena.
"And tell you I shall," said Merlin coming up to the group.
"So what are we doing?" asked Harry again.
"We are going be going into Toms mind and taking all the knowledge he has and using it for ourselves. The lovely Rowena here has kindly asked to stay behind to "hold down the fort" while we are in his mind," said Merlin to two awestruck people.
"Are you sure this will be safe?" asked Harry.
"I have evoked some safety charms incase anything goes wrong. The plan will be that Godric keeps a lookout and distracts any interference, while young Harry and I collect his knowledge," said Merlin.
"Well alight I'll help but you have to decide what knowledge to take," said Harry.
"Alright, let's get this started then," said Merlin strolling over to the glass wall where the entrance to Voldemort's mind lay.
As Harry looked back on that mission he could not agree that it could have went any smoother. The harvesting the information was the problem. It was long work and eventually Voldemort felt their presences around three-fourths of the way done. As planned, Godric distracted Voldemort very well without lifting a finger. His image was enough to stop him in his tracks stunned at the legendary Godric Gryffindor helping Harry Potter of all people into his mind. Just a few seconds later, all three pulled out with there prize.
"Don't worry about sorting all of this right now. You about to wake up and we will have it sorted into piles when you get back," said Merlin.
"Thanks you guys, and bye," said Harry as he awoke.

As Harry awoke, he could not help but think things were going good so far in his training. Yet all good things come to an end.
