Waking with a groan Harry slowly opened his eyes, his room had change in the last two weeks there was now a pair of dressers against the wall, he also had new decor through out the house a lot of his cheap furniture being returned to the tent (Replaced by much nicer furniture Andromeda picked out), there was also rugs and lamps for almost every room in the house as well as mirrors for the bathrooms and a full length mirror mounted on the door of his bedroom. Andromeda really did a good job adding some class to his home over the last few weeks. Speaking of Andromeda, at the moment she was draped across his chest,one leg draped across his, snoring softly and it took considerable care to extricate himself from the bed without waking her. Once out of bed he slid on some exercise short socks and trainers and headed outside to begin his morning run. He had started to run in the morning, like he used before he traveled back to this time. Five laps around the property and he was feeling the burn slowing to a jog he did another lap around the property. His goal was ten laps evey mornin, but in the month he had been here he had slacked off from his physical training, and now he was regretting it. The decrease in stamina was definitely showing. After catching his breath he started his sit-ups he got to 75 before he fell back panting heavily. 'damn this is getting embarrassing' finally after a minute minute to catch his breath, he rolled over and busted out 50 pushups before he couldn't continue. staggering to his feet and heading inside, he made a vow to never neglect his morning fitness regime.

Coming into his room Andy was awake and sat up a bit seeing him in just his shorts covered in sweat (he could swear he saw her eyes dilate in lust) "good morning where have you been?" she asked in a husky voice that had his heart rate quickening. " good morning, I was just out running, I need a shower before breakfast I think" Harry replied, suddenly feeling like an antalope in front of a hungry lion " I think I'll join you if you don't mind of course?" she asked seductively. Watching her rise from the bed completely nude (which was an absolutely breathtaking sight) there was no way in hell he would turn her down dressed the way she was (or not dressed at all, he was really starting to love pregnancy hormones)

They never did define what they were, most of the time during the day to day they acted like friends joking and working together when something needed doing. But after the night they slept together following the chamber exploration, she moved herself into his room (which truth be told he was happy about) but he was still confused.

His thoughts were broken by a naked Andromeda sauntered past him into the bathroom swaying her hips and giving and excellent view of her well formed posterior. With haste he headed the bathroom to get cleaned up for the day... well after Andromeda had her way with him.

After a very long shower and returning to bed for an hour Harry and Andy sat down for breakfast. "So I've got a meeting today, I'll be leaving around five and probably won't be home until late" Harry told her in a matter of fact voice. "With who I've never seen you getting mail from anyone except Gringotts" she asked in a tone of amusement. "I don't think the other party knows I'll be visiting him" Harry chuckled "ooh one of those type of meetings" she nodded in understanding. "yep one of those" he confirmed. "Could I ask you to escort me to St. Mungo at two please?" she asked him he a few minutes later "of course I'm free all afternoon, are you sick or something?" she shook her head in the negative to his question feeling warm inside at the slight edge of worry in his voice " No just a routine check up and some vitamin potions to help keep the baby healthy" she answered he just nodded "we had better head that way then" he said after glancing at the clock it was already almost a quarter til two. Nodding she stood and the two headed out.

Harry was was waiting in the sitting room of the house of one Algernon Croaker after tireless research and weeks of shadowing he managed to slip a reverse portkey into "The Frogs" pocket in the lobby of the ministry using his invisibility cloak and all manner of concealment charms. When Harrys port key was activated he was pulled to the reverse port key that was planted in "The Frog's" back pants pocket. (Harry ended uo in Croaker's hamper) Harry of course removed the reverse port key from the pocket (it was a plain brown shirt button) and made his way to croaker's sitting room. The house hardly looked lived in it was a plain two door cottage nothing special, there were no pictures on the walls or anything personal really

WHOOSH

the fire place spit out the man he was waiting for, he had graying brown hair, he was slightly pudgy, with beady almost black eyes standing about five and a half feet tall. He hadn't noticed Harry yet, busy as he was removing his Gray robes and dusting himself of looking up his eyed bulged in surprise seeing Harry sitting on the couch facing the fireplace waiting expectantly.

Croaked went to draw his wand but his wand holster his wand and all summoned to the man sitting on the couch with nary a thought. "Who are you and how did you get in my home." Croaked demanded. He tried to sound unafraid even though he was anything but, he was a researched not a fighter and now he was unarmed before a unknown man that had breached wards that he thought were the best the goblins could offer. "Calm yourself Algernon I mean you no harm. I simply wish to make a bargain with you a mutually beneficial deal if you will" Harry said calmly. Croaked shook his head "I will not give away any information on the D.o.M, I am under a very powerful oath to prevent betraying their secrets" croaker replied flatly " I know, so am I technically. But no I simply wish to know what's being done about the Time traveller that escaped last month, and in exchange I'll help you get the formula for recharging time sand" whatever Croaker thought he would say that really wasn't it. The look of dumbfounded shock from his former director about made him laugh out loud.

"How do you know about him?" Croaker finally asked still looking very befuddled "because I'm the one who incopasitated the room full of Grey Cloaks before wiping their memories, I have no interest in interacting with the D.o.M, I just want to live my life. In order to do that I need to know what they know about me." Harry stated. Croaker eased himself into a chair to his right and sighed out

"We know nothing most of the senior staff had their memories of you irreversibly wiped, the only ones that knew of the situation were Bogg's field team that weren't in the room and they knew very little, and of course me. I was studying that orb device to help with my own project, but it seemed to disintegrate two days after your arrival". Croaker told him hurriedly "Very well, are they actively searching for me" Croaker shook his head in the negative. "I want a magical vow that you have told me the truth and that you will not divulge anything you have learned this evening, in return I will give you this" he held a purchmant with the precise formula for recharging time sand. "I will also give a vow that this is the recipe for recharging time sand, with this formula you will head the newly formed Chrono department with a whole team at your disposal and one day become director of the D.o.M'

That was a very tempting offer Croaked thought still should he agree? Well if he didn't. The man could just wipe his memory or worse kill him. The D.o.m was just a job and Personally he didn't care about what the time traveller was doing in in this time period. He obviously didn't seem have any desire to cause trouble (After all he had been here almost a month and nothing he knew of had happened)

The rest of his department had seemingly forgot about the situation when the director aquired the eyes of a thousand year old Basilisk and had three different branches of the D.o.M researching the properties it contained. In fact he feared if he didn't make head way soon his project would be scrapped. He was already denied funding for his project because the funding for the rest of this quater had been to spent on purchasing the Basilisk eyes. 'well better this than being stuck assisting Bode dusting glass orbs all day'

Coming to a decision he sighed looking at the green eyed man and spoke "I agree to your terms but I'll need my wand to give you my oath" Harry nodded and tossed him his wand still in its holster, "What is your name, I need it for the Oath?" Croaker questioned "Reaper, the Grey Cloaks of my time made that my magical binding name" Harry didn't mention that it was an involuntary ritual, they needed Harry Potter to appear dead (even to the heart stones at Gringotts). He really hated Unspeakables.

With only a nod Croaker gave the oath that every thing he had said to "Reaper" was the complete t unabridged truth as he knew it, and that he would not reveal anything he learned this evening. The flash of light signified that his vow was sealed.

Harry did likewise and Drew his and wand and vowed that this parchment in his hand was the complete and correct formula for recharging timesand. After the flash of light sealing his magical vow he passed the parchment to Croaker before standing "It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr. Croaked" then with a nod he exited through the floo. Not that Croaker noticed as he devoured the information on the parchment muttering to himself in excitement "Phoenix ash soaked in Erumpent fluid for seven days before..." Croaker was shocked the binder was very volatile. If he hadn't witnessed the man give his vow to the authenticity of this formula, He would think Reaper was trying to kill him.
