Harry was drained- emotionally and physically. He lay wearily in Jethro's arms in the infirmary bed as Madam Pomfrey retrieved a sleepless dream potion. He clung to his father as he sobbed for everything that had happened. Cedric's death, the rise of Voldemort, and the close call with Barty Crouch Jr.
Jethro rubbed his son's back soothingly as he contemplated what was happening. Dark times had fallen upon Britain, and he was sorely tempted to withdraw Harry from Hogwarts and leave Britain forever, but the Marine in him said otherwise. It said to help Harry finish the war, once and for all.
Molly had tried to coddle Harry, but Jethro had none of that. He, after all, was Harry's parent. Molly had to be content coddling her own seven children. Molly glared at him, but she couldn't match the one he gave her right back, so she backed down.
After Harry had taken his dreamless sleep, Mike sat down. "We can't let this go, Probie. He tried to kill your son. He'll try again."
"Not if I kill him first."
\/\ Potter and Gibbs \/\
Dementors are illegal in the United States, so the presence of two in Gibb's neighborhood was, to say the least, unexpected. Under Deloris Umbridge's orders, they were to kiss Harry Potter.
The dementors in question were two that had encountered Harry in his third year, and they knew that he had a wealth of sorrow. If they got the drop on him, then they would feast on his souls.
Yes, they felt the second soul, tied to his scar. They had already decided that one would suck out his soul, then the other one would suck out the one in his scar. They were giddy with excitement. All that they had to do was get him before he summoned his stag. The muggles protecting him would be worthless, a side dish to the main course.
What they hadn't counted on was the split second reaction time Harry had.
Since there were no wizards to defend him and his Dad from the dementors, Harry did it himself. There was no way he was going to let the evil creatures get them. Plus, the Secretary of Magic had given him written permission to use magic at anytime while on United States soil or on Federal business, seeing as Harry had been made a deputized agent of NCIS. This also allowed Harry to carry a gun.
Harry's stag attacked the Dementors head on, knocking them both away. The dark creatures, however, weren't going to give up. They had crossed an ocean to get him, and they weren't going back empty handed. However, not matter how they tried, they just couldn't get at the wizard.
Almost four minutes after Harry had started using the patronus, several pops echoed along the street, a cue for the dementors to leave. However, while Britain may not have the means nor the need to dispose of dementors, Special Agents of the Department of Magic did on both counts.
The Agents took patroni and rounded up the two dementors before two of the agents cast the Britain-forbidden spell that was lethal to the monsters. Both the soul-sucking wraiths were killed, and they were cataloged and their remains destroyed.
Somewhere in Britain, Hopkirk's device went off, signaling that Harry Potter had used magic outside of school. Behind Hopkirk, who was examining the parchment that was writing the who, where, and what, stood Deloris Umbridge, grinning while she formed a plan to share with her beloved Minister.
\/\ Potter and Gibbs \/\
Agent Worth of NCIS's legal department was incensed. He had emigrated from Britain to the states during the first war and was unsurprised to find corruption in the Ministry once again. The cause of his fury, however, was the fact that his client, Deputized Agent Harry Potter, was being tried before the entire Wizengamot instead of just a hearing in Hopkirk's office- as the law prescribed.
"What is the meaning of this?" Worth demanded. "This is highly unordinary, Minister Fudge!"
"It is within my purview to have the Wizengamot meet on such an occasion?"
"For an underage sorcery case? Have you gone off your rocker, Fudge? This is far below the Wizengamot's level, except were it to be appealed to them!"
"He's right, Cornelius," Madam Bones reminded the Minister. "This is an underage sorcery case, therefor the purview of Madam Hopkirk's office."
"Excuse me," piped up Umbridge. "Are you suggesting the Minister is over stepping his bounds, Madam Bones?"
Bones sneered at Umbridge. "I am suggesting exactly that, Madam Umbridge. Cornelius, this is a farce and you know it."
Gibbs eyed Umbridge. He already didn't like the woman. He stayed where he was, for the moment, behind Harry. He had been advised only to speak when Worth said it was okay.
"Enough!" Fudge yelled, slamming his fists on the table before him. "The Wizengamot is now in session. Present your case, Mr. Worth."
Worth stepped forward with several pieces of parchment. "This is a copy of the written permission given to Harry Potter by SecMa, the Secretary of Magic, to perform magic at anytime on United States soil. At the time of the incident, Mr. Potter was on US soil and was therefore in US jurisdiction. This trial, according to British laws, is unlawful." Worth presented several more pieces of paper. "These are the testimonies of the agents of the US Department of Magic deployed to deal with the dementor problem. You will see that the team witnessed, contained, and destroyed the dementors according to US law." He presented a final piece of paper. "And this is an order from Her Majesty's Prime Minister to investigate why there were two dementors in the Americas when only Britain uses them?"
Gibbs saw Umbridge gasp ever so softly. He was about to make a mental note to tell Worth when Worth turned and mouthed, 'Umbridge,' to the Special Agent. Gibbs nodded and mouthed, 'I know.'
Worth turned around. "So you see, there is no crime on the part of Mister Potter-Gibbs. No infraction of the law that he has performed. In other words, Minister, you... have... no... case."
And that was that. The Wizengamot adjured and Gibbs signaled their escort to head Umbridge off, but they were unsuccessful. By the time they reached her office, all evidence pertaining to her order to silence Harry was destroyed.
