Dave's House
Mick apparated to the front door of Dave's house and smirked when he felt the wards pass over him. He knew that he should have apparated to the edge of the driveway, but he wanted to get to Harry's side sooner rather than later. He knocked twice on the front door and waited impatiently for it to be answered. Once it was answered by Dave he nodded at him before he hurried into the house and to where he could see Harry was laid at on one of the couches. He swore when he saw how bad that the young boy still looked. "Dear Merlin, Sebastian! Could you not heal him any further?"
Sebastian groaned as he pulled potion out after potion out of the bag in front of him. "Mick, calm the hell down. Nico, Armando, and I just got back here a few minutes ago, from our shopping expeditions. Up until I went into my brother-in-law's Apothecary I didn't know that they had a pregnancy safe variation of Skele-gro. If you give me a few minutes to get these into Harry, you will see a remarkable change in the way he is currently looking."
Mick nodded and then looked at Aaron with hard eyes. "I don't give a shit if you are Harry's uncle, Hotchner, but if you so much as hurt him even with your words I will kick your ever-loving ass. Do you understand me?"
Aaron nodded. "If I ever hurt him I will stand still and let you kick my ass, Mick."
Mick smirked. "I know that you would, Hotch. Now what do you think of everything that you have learnt so far?"
Aaron ran a hand through his hair. "It is a lot to take in, but I will be there for Harry. I don't understand everything just yet, but I also know that I will with time. I don't care if Harry is magical, pink, purple, or an alien. All that matters to me is that Harry is my nephew and I'll be damned if I let him be hurt any more than he already has been. Anything that I can do I will do in order to make sure that Harry knows that he has someone who loves him for him and not for what he has done or who he is. I will make sure that Harry learns what it is like to be loved by family and what it is like to be taken care of instead of being the one taking care of people."
Mick looked at Aaron with understanding in his eyes. "I know exactly what you mean, Hotch. Harry may have people who love him in his life, but up until now he only saw them every once in a while. I can honestly tell you that it will take a while for him to get used to having people to lean on constantly, but once he does it will make you feel like the greatest person alive. Now what have you all come up with as a plan?"
Armando chuckled. "As Sebastian told you, Mick, Nico, him, and I just got back a few minutes ago, and haven't had the chance to tell everyone else what we have found out. However, now that Sebastian is finished tending Harry for the time being I think that it would be best if we talk things over so that once Harry wakes up we can tell him what we have thought of and see if he agrees with everything."
Aaron nodded. "My son will be here in the morning as will my brother Sean. I was only able to get him to hold off until then. Let's start with you, Armando. What did you find out?"
Armando waved a pile of papers around and laughed at the looks on everyone's faces. "This is a list of all the properties that Harry owns due to his various heritages. Out of all these properties three of them are close to Quantico which I thought was good because it would be closer to where the BAU is located. I think out of the three possible properties that Emrys Mansion would be the best for Harry and everyone to live at. Emrys' has forty bedrooms, an indoor and outdoor pool, two quidditch pitches, a football field, basketball court, tennis court, three gyms, several media rooms, six offices, several full and half bathrooms, a state of the art kitchen, three family rooms, two formal ballrooms, and several other rooms that can be used for anything and everything. I was told that the reason the mansion is that big is because it was originally going to be used as the White House before it was decided to house the White House elsewhere."
He took in a deep breath and let it out. "I also noticed from the lists that Jawbreaker gave me that Emrys Mansion also has two guesthouses on the property as well as stables for magical and mundane animals alike. Eventually I will have to get a complete listing on everything Harry owns, but for now I only requests information on any and all properties that Harry owns that he could live in."
Aaron whistled. "Is the mansion livable?"
Armando nodded. "It is and I requested that Jawbreaker have it warded to the hilt so that nobody could get in unless Harry gives them permission. I may need help going through all of Harry's holdings because I have a feeling that he owns quite a lot of different businesses in both the magical and mundane world. If I remember correctly James Potter owns a football team, but at this point in time I can't remember what team or if it is more than one."
Dave laughed. "I can help you go over Harry's financials if he doesn't mind, Armando. Nico, what did you buy at the bookstore you went to? That bag looks like it is filled and then some."
Nico smirked. "That would be because it is. I bought more than one copy of each book that the UK didn't publish or had banned for whatever reason. I picked up three copies of all Potions texts, all Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Muggle Defense books that Wizarding Britain doesn't have. I also picked up six copies of a Welcome to the Wizarding world kind of book, three copies of Wizarding etiquette book, and three copies of every single male pregnancy books that they had in stock."
Aaron looked at Spencer. "You up to doing a lot of reading, Reid?"
Spencer nodded. "I'll read at least two of them tonight, Hotch."
Aaron nodded and then looked at Sebastian. "What all did you give Harry?"
Sebastian smiled slightly. "My best friend who is actually my brother-in-law owns the Apothecary in Broadway Alley. He gave me male pregnancy safe potions which I gave to Harry as well as a variation of the Skele-gro potion that is male pregnancy safe. What that means is that tomorrow every bone that Harry has broken will be healed. However, he will still need to take it easy for the next couple of weeks. It would be best if we could move Harry sooner rather than later to the new house so that he can be in comfort. Armando, does anything need to be bought for the house?"
Armando sighed. "We need to decide who all is going to live with Harry and go from there. I think that at the very least half of the bedrooms need to be fitted out with furnishings."
Aaron groaned. "It would probably be best to go ahead and get all of the bedrooms furnished with furniture. We should probably also get the offices furnished as well."
Mick chuckled. "I'm sure that JJ, Penelope, Beth, Emily, and Gina could do that. If I'm not mistaken we also have access to Harry's house elves and they can do the shopping if we tell them what we want bought. We can't really decide anything until Harry wakes up which from the way he is sleeping I would have to say won't be until tomorrow morning."
Sebastian nodded. "I agreed especially since I gave him a safe Dreamless sleep potion since he is now healed completely. I know that he needs to eat, but his body needs the rest right now. I think that we should all get some rest ourselves because the coming days are going to be hard. I'll take first shift on keeping watch."
Trevor who had been listening to everything spoke up and said "I'll also take first shift. I have a feeling that Cooper's team will be arriving sometime soon so I will let them in and direct them to get some sleep. If you don't want to sleep right now then work quietly on what you would like to see done in the next day or two."
Aaron looked at Harry and then at his team and nodded in agreement. "We won't do Harry any good if all of us are exhausted. Get some rest everyone." He nodded in thanks at Mick who made a bed appear next to the couch Harry was fast asleep on and laid down on it. He knew that out of everyone that Spencer, Dave, and Derek would stay up to do some reading among other things.

Hogwarts
Minerva McGonagall read Severus Snape's resignation with surprise. She couldn't believe that the other man was quitting without actually talking to her face to face first. She set the letter aside and picked up an official looking letter and opened it. As she read it her eyes widened in shock and surprise even as she paled at what she read.
Dear Professor McGonagall,
This letter is to inform you that Harry James Potter is withdrawing from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. It is also to inform you that the basilisk in the Chambers of Secrets has been harvested since Mr. Potter owns it since he defeated it by conquest. Mr. Potter has stipulated that should you wonder why he was withdrawing from Hogwarts that you be told he did so because he felt that Hogwarts wasn't safe for him to attend any longer.
We are looking into the allegations that Mr. Potter has made and if any of them turn out to be true you can be sure that action will be taken. We are also looking into the finances of Hogwarts for irregularities of any kind since the owner has asked that we make sure that there has been no misappropriation of funds since harm has been allowed to one of the students of Hogwarts if not more than one student.
You will also find enclosed in the envelope the paperwork withdrawing Hermione Jean Granger, Luna Avalon Lovegood, Blaise Armando Zabini, Theo Julius Nott, Draco Lucius Malfoy, George Fabian Weasley, Fredrick Gideon Weasley, and Neville Francis Longbottom from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. If you have any questions please address them to us here at Gringotts.
Sincerely,
Ragnok
Director of Gringotts UK Branch
She sighed heavily once she finished reading the letter. She had no doubt that things were about to become hard for herself and she knew that she had nobody but herself to blame for the actions she had taken. She could only hope that with that many students withdrawing from Hogwarts that it wasn't going to start the end of Hogwarts. She couldn't help, but wonder what Ragnok meant about the owner of Hogwarts. As far as she knew there were no heirs of the four founders since Harry defeated Riddle.
She dreaded having to tell Albus of what she had just learnt, but she knew that she would eventually need to tell him. Although if she was honest with herself she really didn't think that he would care as long as he could get Harry Potter back to Hogwarts. She decided then and there that she would wait until the welcoming feast to let Albus know that several students had been withdrawn from Hogwarts. After all he was barely around right now as it was and she knew that it had to do with the fact that Harry was missing. She could only hope that wherever Harry was that he was safe and happy.

Albus growled in frustration as his phoenix flashed away. He knew right away that Fawkes had broken his bond with him. He also knew that if everyone found out that his phoenix familiar broke the bond that there would be even more severe repercussions than there already were for him. He couldn't believe how far he had already fallen in such a short time. His only hope was that he would find Harry and get the boy back to Hogwarts.
He silently promised himself that once he did get Harry back to Hogwarts that he would make the boy pay for humiliating him like he had. He couldn't believe that Harry had broken through the compulsion spells and left the Dursley's. He knew that Harry had to have help, but for the life of him he couldn't figure out who had helped the boy beside Sirius. He still couldn't believe that Sirius was free. He had no doubt that Sirius was more than likely at Harry's side and that he would have hell getting close to Harry because Sirius wouldn't let him near the boy.
He had to get Harry back so that he could get back everything he had taken from the Potter vaults. There had been some very rare texts that he hadn't even read yet that was taken from him and put back in Harry's vault. He wanted to know what Harry's heritage was so that he could maybe claim some of the money for himself.
He sighed as he stood up. He would go to bed for the evening since it was so late and maybe when he woke up in the morning he would have a new plan come to him. When he checked the time he was surprised to see that it was already two in the morning. He didn't think he had been sitting at his desk for that long of a time.
