Chapter fourteen

Within the hour Harry was an official agent of MI5. He could remain in the unit until the situation with Voldemort was dealt with. The Prime Minister did request that Harry speak with any muggleborns they find that now live and work in the non-magical world. They just had to work on finding them.

The two agents and Dobby returned after a few hours, 'We observed the house sir, there are a few other buildings on the property, but mostly they house animals, like horses, and peacocks. We could not see the house at first, Dobby was able to get us past the first lot of wards. It seems it's warded against anyone entering the house, but not against seeing it if you know where it is.'

'So it would work if it's painted?'

'Yes sir, it's very large, it should bring the place down.'

'We just don't know how many will be inside, or who.'

'If I may sir?'

'Of course Mr. Potter, or Agent Potter.'

Harry smiled, 'Dobby, you said it's warded against you going inside, would it be warded against another house elf?'

'No Master Harry sir, just me. Old master did not want Dobby to bring in the dark lord's enemy.'

'I'm not sure if this would work sir, but I know of another house elf that was freed, she was really upset about it and spends all her time drunk. I own a house elf but I would not trust him, he was the one that helped set Sirius up to die, it was Sirius' old family elf. The other one I'm talking about is Winky, she's working at Hogwarts, but she is not owned. If me or someone here would be willing to become her owner she may just be able to get inside.'

'You said she drinks, would she be reliable?'

'That's what I'm not sure of sir, but she only began drinking when her old owner set her free.'

'I might have you call her later.'

'Well, I can't sir, I'm not her owner or friend like I am with Dobby, but Dobby could bring her here if she is willing to have a new owner. Dobby did like being free, but most hate it, they feel like they let their master's down. I only helped free Dobby because he was being abused by Malfoy, a lot of magicals treat them good, except for people like death eaters.'

'Then we will see if Dobby can bring her here, it will give us the information on how many are inside, but most importantly, when this Voldemort is inside.'

'Yes sir, just let me know when.'

'I would like Agent Green and Agent Smith give you some lessons on how to shoot, especially on long range. If the dementors turn up, it would be best if you are not close. We need to find out if a bullet will kill these dark creatures.'

'Yes sir,' Harry nodded the followed the two agents out of the room.

Over the next few days Harry got a crash course in shooting. He found using a rifle easy and used one in many different positions. He figured if he could be lying on a roof when the dementors turned up, he would have a good chance of hitting a dementor without the worry of hitting people, he would hate to hurt an innocent person. He learned to shoot a hand gun as well, as he would need to pass a test so he could carry a gun on him when he was sent out to work as an actual agent. Harry knew that meant he might end up having to shoot a person, but he knew what type of evil people were out in the world, magical or non-magical.

After some dinner Harry sat in his room reading some books. He had to read up on agents for MI5, he had to read up on the laws, he had a dozen books he needed to read. Harry also needed to read up on the spell and potions books. He kept going over the polyjuice potion, he figured if he could concentrate and not be disturbed he may be able to pull it off. He just wouldn't know until he tried.

Harry decided to ring Hermione, just to give her an update, 'Hey.'

'Are you okay Harry?'

'I'm good, I wasn't when I left, and I did what I mentioned. Woke up the next morning with a raging headache, in bed with a strange woman.'

'Even though I believe that is reckless, I understand.'

'Yeah, but sorry I didn't ring when I said I would. I thought temptation would have got the better of you, and you would ring me. I needed a few days though, so thanks for being patient. Oh, I do have some news, I was able to help the agents here find hidden homes, like where Voldemort is staying. The Prime Minister and the agents are working on that. But Mr. Major, he offered me a job, he wants me to join MI5, be an agent.'

'Harry, that's…that's unbelievable.'

'I decided to take it, I'm now Agent Potter, I've been training over the last few days, training how to shoot. I already know I'm better off here Hermione, with the…non magical, but with the Prime Minister's permission, I can use my magic to help protect the people and the country against terrorists, or ones like Voldemort.'

'I just want you to be happy Harry, maybe you would have a better life with them, but we would still like to see you.'

'We will, I'm not just going to ignore all of you.'

'We know you've been hurt, even by us, which would make trusting us difficult. Oh we have some news, I planned to ring you about it later, just so you were warned. At the moment it's just a rumour but we believe he may use it, to capture people like you.'

'Okay, use what?'

'The rumour is that he plans to put a jinx on the name…v….v, you know what I'm trying to say. Well, if he does then the moment you say it death eater will turn up to where you are, even if there are enchantments. It still wouldn't work against the fidelius charm, but Mad-eye and Kingsley said other types of wards would not stop them, all because of the jinx.'

'Well, I just said his name, nothing happened, but I should warn the Prime Minister and the other agents. Since they are only just getting involved, none of them have a problem saying his name. I had an idea, even if I'm not sure any of the death eaters will care or not, but this is something that has to be done in the magical world.'

'Tell me, you know I'll do whatever I can.'

'He's a halfblood Hermione, with a squib mother and a muggle father. If those death eaters like Malfoy hear the truth about him, some may decide to leave him. Dumbledore told me to keep this to myself, but in the chamber of secrets, the young Tom wrote his name in the air. Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram for I am lord Voldemort. So if that was shown and they do their own research into Tom senior they might believe his father was a muggle. They are marked though, so maybe it would do no good if they left, I'm not sure how the dark mark works.'

'Fred, George and Lee have worked on a radio program, it's called Potter-watch.'

'What?!'

'They wanted to get people's attention, so using your name makes good people tune in. They give out information, they also give out warnings. They let everyone know what to do if they see inferi, they also asked everyone to try to protect the ones that can't, without putting themselves in danger.'

'But this could put the boys in danger.'

'They move around a lot, they also give out a password that you have to use before you can tune in. We could make sure they put out that information on…him, they quickly leave then do it again and again. I'm sure sooner or later some of the death eaters will hear it.'

'Okay, but tell them not to put themselves in danger, that lot won't hesitate in killing them, especially Bellatrix.'

'They are being careful, they also rig up some of their prank products as a warning signal.'

'Good, let's hope some death eaters end up in one of their portable swamps. Hey, do you know if they worked the portable quick sand?'

'They have, so far it just swallows them up, nothing will stop it. They want it so the person will sink but they stop so their head is out, they will live but they are still trapped. You know the death eaters will use people as hostages, even shields if they have too. The twins didn't want to risk innocent people dying.'

'It's war, innocent people are dying, but I get it, we have to limit those from being hurt, or killed. I better go, it's late and I need some sleep before another long day tomorrow. I'm not sure when I'll ring again, I'll be busy training, but I will if there is any information you need to hear. Oh, sorry Hermione, I forgot, but the meeting I had the morning after I saw you was about the death eater raids.'

'Yes, we heard, the Creevey's, we didn't know the others. Kingsley told us that the muggleborns were young, they had not been to Hogwarts, now they never will.'

'No, they won't, but Hermione, your parent's home was destroyed.'

'It's fine Harry, I always knew there was a chance, that's why I wanted mum and dad away from here. I had them pack up all their stuff, some went with them, and some is in storage. The only reason I didn't make them sell the house was in case they decided living overseas was not for them, that's if the war was ever over. When I overheard them talking about moving, they always said they would give it a year then sell if they were happy.'

'Then the most important thing is, they are safe, your parent's and precious memories. I've gotta go, I'll inform the Prime Minister about the jinx.'

'Okay, and I'll make sure that information about his parent's is released. Take care Harry and remember, we're here for you.'

'I know Hermione, just be careful, all of you. I'll ring or message when I can.'

'Alright, bye Harry.'

'Bye Hermione,' Harry hung up the phone, then sighed, 'Great, just great.'

'I didn't mean to overhear, I was coming to see if you were okay.'

'Hey James, I'm fine, but damn…snake-face. He's thinking of putting a jinx on his name, the V one. I can't say it now in case he's done it. It will mean anyone that says the name will end up surrounded by death eaters. All of you have no problem saying the name, it could end up being dangerous.'

'You said his birth name was Tom, we can say that, or Riddle, his last name.'

'Riddle, we better warn everyone.'

'I'll go speak with the Prime Minister who has left for the day, but I do know he was going to his office first. If you could find John, then between both you should get to everyone.'

'I'm on it,' Harry smiled up at his friend, he did think of James as his friend, just as he thought of John as his friend. J and J, his two new friends. But Harry knew these two new friends would never betray him like others have, they would be loyal friends.
