Harry moved to the sidewalk, there was a slight mist falling and no one was on the street. A black cat ran across the street chasing a mouse. "Why is it that I can never seem to depart a place when I want to, or at least when I plan to move on?" The Reggie and Chris both looked up at him as they had taken animal form and shook off the light rain that Harry had not noticed begin falling. Harry walked over under an awning, looking at the cat and dog he asked, do either of you know where we can go now?" Both nodded and headed southeast, up the street. After a short walk they turned left onto Toulouse st. toward the Olivier House Hotel. The two animals walked went into an arched area and returned in Human form. They proceed to the Olivier House Hotel
"This should be a safe hotel, Reggie and I have used it several times. What is our next move?"
Harry had become the leader again, this just seemed to be where he always ended up, Harry sighed to himself. "Let's get checked in and go from there, we need to find a resistance group that actually wants to do something. Maybe find this, Madam Veronica, maybe she has the guts to move try and do something". Harry's two friends looked at each other, "What was that look for?"
"Madam Veronica, is a... How should I put this a bit eccentric, and very dangerous, she follows a branch of voodooo She is going to be very hard to find as her followers guard her and if we do find her, nothing says she will listen or if she does that she will let us leave alive". Harry could see the fear in Reggie's eyes.
"Reggie, Harry is right, she is our best hope, you and I are going to be hunted worse now than ever, possibly even by the resistance since we kind of have been helping Harry do things that they don't necessarily want done."
"You're right sweety."
"Come on you two, I have cash for a couple of rooms, when you are settled and we get some sleep we can try and figure all this out".
They registered for two rooms and after warding his traveling companions Harry did his own and went to sleep. Harry had dreams of a faceless voodoo priestess, he kept calling to her, and running after her but, she just laughed and moved into the fog, then she would appear somewhere else and he would run that way. "Harry Potter, you can't catch me but, if you were to show you are worthy, I will come to you. Harry awoke at 11 with a start, because of a knock at his door.
Harry did a spell to check if the person on the other side was friend or foe, it showed friend. Harry opened the door and it was Reggie, "We debated on waking you but we felt we needed to talk to you about Madam Veronica". Chris just nodded, her head. "We talked about it and are kind of worried about messing with her".
"Do you know of any other leaders we can go to?"
"To tell the truth no".
"I understand that we are skirting a dangerous place, I don't see any other way at this time, if you wish to leave I have no problem with it. You have stuck by me when most wouldn't. I will be in your debt forever. If you ever figure out how to solve this problem let me know and I will be glad to listen".
"Harry, we will not leave you, we have seen what you have done for our country, you didn't have to do it but you did. We are with you till the end. We have a lead on a couple of Madam Veronica's followers".
"I'll get ready for a day and meet you in the lobby and we can get some lunch. After Harry was ready, they walked a few blocks to the Old Coffee Pot Restaurant. Harry loved the food and ate more than he should have feeling miserable, Harry paid the bill.
The man behind that served them waited till Harry went to the restroom and was coming back to the table, then stopped Harry, "You need to forget messing with Madam Veronica, she don't want you around. Leave her alone or you will regret it, she chooses who she deal with not you".
Harry paid the bill and after they left, he spoke to his companions, "I was just warned off our path by the waiter".
"So they know we are here and what we are doing and have made it clear we are not welcome. I think we should go". Chris was being cautious but Harry still saw no other way to do what he needed to do to keep his promise to himself and others.
"I want you two to go, I think you would be safe if you go to the Northern Territory. Reggie looked at Chris. "I hate to say this Harry, but I think we will, the path you are taking will only lead to trouble".
"I understand, but I know no other way". Harry gave them both some money and charmed two port keys. They went to the hotel and gathered their gear and left.
That night Harry had the same dream again, when he woke up he knew something was wrong with these dreams. After breakfast it hit him like a ton of bricks, they were like the dreams he had about Voldermort, more vision than dream, but he was in these dreams/visions. He now knew what he had to do.
Harry picked up a national wizard paper called the "Open Caller", he found the location of where the president would be speaking in two days. That would be the perfect time, it was in Northern Louisiana, just outside of the area held by the rebels. He was sure that was planned to try and trick them into attacking. The rebels in this area was called the FCW or Free Cajun Wizards. Harry apperated close to the venue where the president would speak. He could not kill him but he could send a message. Killing him would not break the dark wizards as killing Voldermort had, there were too many waiting in the wings, like vultures. He needed to rally the rebels so they could quickly take over, before a new Dark Lord stepped up.
Harry planned his "attack", he knew he had to win public opinion, if innocent people were hurt it would hurt the cause, and most people refused to believe the president was a dark wizards, and an imposter.
Before he made his move he moved his gear to a roof in New Orleans and hid them under multiple spells and charms as well as ward stones. He sent a letter to his friends and family at home, so they would know he was doing well. Then he also made sure that the press knew that something spectacular was going to happen at the president's speech. This of course caused security to increase but Harry had no worried. Like the song says "Don't worry be happy".
The day came and Harry stood on a house overlooking the location of the speech wearing his dad's cloak. The guard next to him didn't even know he was there. At 12 noon the president was announced to tepid applause, that cheered Harry a bit. Just as the president started speaking Harry stund the guard and took off his cloak, he a cast sonoras charm on himself and a muffiloto on the president. "People of America, this president is an imposter", everyone turned from the president, "He put out a hit on me, Harry Potter to keep me quiet, he is still trying to have me killed because I know the truth, he has replaced the last 3 presidents to stay in power. Rise up and stand with the good wizards and witches of the Free America".
At this point spells came at Harry which he batted away with his dueling shield. He then teleported with one of his talisman next to the president. Canceling the muffilotto, Harry yelled "Got your conk and grabbed the presidents nose, then placed a disillusiment charm on it. "Have a nice day America, with this he lit the WWW fireworks he had modified they said, "Stand for a Free America, and against Dark Lords. Harry Potter and Free America rule". Then with a laugh Harry was gone.
The aurors and clean up crew worked for hours trying to get rid of the fireworks but only made them multiply.
Harry recovered his gear and moved out of New Orleans, the president was going to appear in California, that was safe territory at least the president thought so. Harry hit again and checking the papers brave enough to stand against the onslaught of pressure from the president found the president losing ground with the people.
Harry returned to New Orleans, checking into the same hotel, Harry knew he was making it easier for the president to find him but he hoped that Madam Veronica would be looking for him.
That night Harry had one of his dream/vision, Madam Veronica came to Harry. You have proved yourself far beyond what I thought anyone was capable. Meet me in Sidel at the corner of Eastwood and Lakewood at moon high tomorrow night. Harry awoke with a smile and wrote down where he was to meet her. The next morning he went to the same cafe and ordered breakfast, the waiter told him that the bill had been paid in full and refused to accept any money, not even a tip.
A/N: Hope you like it, a little short but wanted to get it out. Starting the first of June I am going to be attempting to write 50,000 words by the end of the month. That is around 1700 words a day, I may only post every other week, but I will try and post each week if I can keep it up. I have opened my stories here on fan fiction to anonymous posters, I can use constructive criticism but if you are just out to flame me don't waist your time, I will just move on to something that would help my writing.
