Harry Potter and the summer to Remember
I own nothing aside from this idea

Their luck didn't hold out. They were drenched in black devil blood and were attacked three more times whilst on their way out of the forest. Thankfully, Harry and Fay's skill at killing the creature was improved with every encounter.

Harry managed to transfigure the three corpses into bones and covered in goo, guts and gore, grabbed Fay's hand and they headed for the entrance to the forest.

"We need to find someone who knows about this. But first we need to find a shower." Harry said shaking his hair which had grown long and ragged during his time away. It was matted with blood and grime which splattered onto Fay.

Fay shook her head and pulled out a camera, capturing an image of Harry after fighting the Wood Devil. Harry did the same with Fay on both of their cameras.

As they trudged out of the forest they turned left and stumbled a further five miles before they stepped on a ward and klaxons blared out. Harry and Fay drew their wands as Wizards and Witches apparated onto them with pinpoint precision.

Harry assessed them and holstered his wand; all of them were wearing heavily protective gear mostly associated with fire aligned creatures. Amongst the red and black embroidery were those with a bright pink cross looking like the first aide sign.

"What are you two doing? Where are you going? Are you okay?"

Harry signed "Trying to get clear of the Pennsylvanian Pine Forest magical boundaries…Somewhere with a shower…Tired, filthy, hungry oh and needing to find a Magical Creature specialist."

One of the second wave of apparaters made his way forward, on his robes was a sigil of a skull with crossed axes "A Crane!" Harry gasped aloud.

Crane chuckled "Edward Crane at your service." The man said with a bow. Harry and Fay responded in kind "Harry Potter/Fay Dunbar…It's a pleasure to meet you." They said as one.

Edward looked at them, grinned and gestured "You two look awful. Come with me back to my temporary residence and maybe you can explain to me why you're roaming the Pennsylvanian Copper Salamander exhibit."

Harry's eyes widened "Are there anymore National Reserves we need to be aware of? We've been in the Stormbird one, Shadow Cat and now Salamanders."

Edward nodded "Heard of the Lancaster Thresher?" Seeing their faces Edward explained.

"It's one of the few Wyrms still in existence. It shares co-operative existence with the Pennsylvanian Prickelback and the American Armageddon."

Harry's jaw dropped to the floor "Can we see? My girlfriend and I have work to do for Care of Magical Creatures."

Edward nodded "Sure, now why do you look like you've been having a rut in the woods?"

"We were attacked by something…Best way to describe it would be a demon."

"Three of them." Fay commented.

Edward's mind began to flash through his families journal "Have you got a copy of families journal? The Combating of Dark Forces From Here and Beyond?"

Harry nodded and pulled the book out "Yeah, fascinating read. If we didn't look like this and we met, I would have asked for you to sign it."

Edward nodded "Why not." He pulled out a pen 'To Mr. Potter, I wish you the best in education and life. E. Crane.'. Edward also signed Fay's copy.

"Open it to chapter thirteen."

Harry paled. He looked at Edward and finally took the man's appearance in. He was tall high end 5' low 6'. Probably around 190lbs, engaged in moderate exercise. Pale complexion with dark brown eyes nearly black that gave off an intense gaze with look black hair combed back into something akin to a raven's wing.

"This is what we saw. This is what attacked us."

Edward stared at them "This attacked you! I have questions. I'm sorry, I do not mean to appear unconcerned but as a well renowned authority on all sorts of Dark Creatures, I must know how to prevent and if necessary kill creatures that attack human kind. I don't like it but life is full of things we don't like doing."

Harry nodded "I'll help on three conditions."

"Name them."

"A hot meal, a shower and be allowed to change my clothes…Pine Devil Blood stinks something rotten."

Edward grinned "Be my guest the pair of you…Mind if I take some samples?"

Harry and Fay chuckled, it appeared the man was an eager scholar "Of course."

Harry and Fay showered and placed the blood covered clothes in a stasis bag and handed them to the Professor. "Philadelphian cheese steak? One of the few things I can cook. My other half is a much better cook."

Harry and Fay nodded soon enough they had four cheese steaks a piece and a bottle Stoudt Brewery Red Ale each "You've gone through a ringer, I don't care if you're minors. You've walked away from three monster attacks alive when it gets 99% of its victims and the 1% are severely maimed."

The food and ale went down nicely and soon enough they were off to the Philadelphian Institute of Higher Magical Education.

(Britain)

Sirius and Remus sat in the living room "So whilst I was in prison, you, Remus John was acting as a gun smuggler and middle-man under the alias of 'Mond Konig' and you smuggled guns from the West to the East and smuggled Heroin, Cocaine all over the place."

Remus nodded "Yep…I even dealt street level. They gave me the name 'Gutes Zeug' or Good Stuff. I was working for the German Mob and the Italians in the States and as their liaison for a while…It paid my rent and food bills. The magical elements supplied me with Wolfsbane. Since I joined them willingly and volunteered they treated me almost one of their own. I left when I was offered the chance of teaching. They said 'If I got out, I shouldn't come back.' They knew I didn't quite fit."

Sirius chuckled "To Mond Konig!"

"Mond Konig it is…" Just then they heard a buzzing, Remus pulled out a miniature mirror and pulled a disguise on.

"You, Mond Konig?" The voice sounded East London.
"It is. What do you want?"
"I have, 2.5mil, cold cash, I need supplies of a firework nature."
Remus nodded "I have some stuff. Meet me third apartment, third flat Milllwall, come alone."

Remus cut the connection. He saw Sirius transfiguring a tea-towel into a balaclava and creating a hood on his leather jacket and cast a darkening charm on it "I'm coming with you."

"Okay then Grimm."

(Pennsylvania Institute)

Edward made copious amounts of notes, which Eobard Crane re-typed making them legible. He shook his head and hugged Harry when the two teens met each other again.

Harry and Fay recounted their story and explained what they did to evade capture and after displaying the 'Pressure Bomb' and 'Shrapnel' Curses and the Patronus Charm.

"What are you guys going to do?"

Harry shrugged "I've got just over a month left. Animagus Transformation, Channelling, Earthing and White Necromancy lessons took much less time than I predicted. So was going to hit a few mundane 'Comic-Cons' and study my evocation and thaumaturgy texts mainly."

"Go the Comic-Cons, they're fun weekends out. I'll teach you a bit as will my department. We have a duelling tournament as well which I could prep you for."

Harry grinned "This is the best holiday I've had yet."

(Remus and Sirius)

Remus sat in the living room, waiting. Sirius was waiting under concealment charms. A young man entered "When the moon rises…"

"Wolves howls." Remus replied.

The man walked forwards, he opened the briefcase revealing the money. Remus nodded and pulled the cloth off the boxes he had come with.

The man's eyes widened "I didn't expect this."

Remus snorted "I didn't get the name Good Stuff for nothing. You get exactly what you paid for and a bit more."

The man nodded "Here's the cash Remus." Sirius broke the concealing charms and quicker than the man thought possible he found himself bound to a chair.

Remus pulled the hood back "Michael! Michael Thomas!"

Michael nodded "Sirius, Remus…Never expected this to happen to you two."

Sirius and Remus ended up joining Mark "What are you doing?"

Michael grinned thinly "I'm technically a dead man. I've been operating under the name James McCoy recently. Smuggling guns and drugs. Been sending what I can to Delilah to look after Dean."

Sirius chuckled "An ex-con, a werewolf and a dead man…All the makings of a bad joke. So what's the play?"

Michael looked at them "Deal goes down, I get the merchandise…Stage an accident and I activate a new identity…Then I help Mond Konig and Grimm…I have buyers, Remus you have sellers and manufacturing and Grimm is our nice guy muscle…Remus, you also have contacts outside of Europe."

Remus nodded "I have retired by the way."

Michael smirked at him "Have you really? You've still got contacts all of them waiting for you to come back."

Remus shrugged "Maybe, but for now I'm cleaning out my storage."

With that the three parted ways. Remus 2.5million richer and Sirius gladder that he had another friend alive from school.

(Harry et al.)

Harry and Fay had pens out and pads of paper as well. They were impressed, America had everything on Hogwarts. During the remaining time they had left they had learnt what would technically be on their NEWT DADA exams and a bit on Transfiguration and Charms as well.

"What did ya think?" Asked Eobard as he joined them.

"Wow…surprising just how ass backwards Britain is." Harry replied.

Eobard grinned at that "I've heard…I have to ask what is going to be done about it?"

Harry smirked "What do I need to blow up a building? What do I need to do to Magical Britain to get it through their fucking skulls that we are the joke of the Wizarding World? I know…Revolution. The only way revolutions work are when unfortunately bodies start piling up. What is the most effective way to get bodies to pile up?"

"A Dark Lord…You do realise that the Potter name will be reviled for at least three centuries." Fay said.

"Only if we lose." Harry turned to Fay and yes they made eye contact but they never made eye contact like this. "Oh…fuck." Was all Fay could say as their worlds dissolved. They grabbed their hands as they felt themselves falling out of their bodies.

(Harry)

Fay felt cold. Not cold like it was winter in Chicago. But this was more cold, oppressive and utterly foul. She looked upon his soul and her eyes widened, it was so bright. So bright and filled with light and off one side was another, it's thin spidery tendrils flicking across trying to get a purchase.

She moved in deeper and her heart broke. There was nothing, it was a swirling storm and it looked like every storm was pelting a small boat and it was sinking. As she moved closer, in the cabin she could see a bright light and frantic figures trying to bail water overboard and away from the light. The figures were Harry.

Then she snapped back into her body.

(Fay)

Harry had to fight from breaking into tears. It looked so beautiful. It looked like what Harry always wanted. He could make out Ebenezer, Harry; the big one and Fay.

(Normal)

Eobard waited apprehensively and the pair snapped awake "Eobard what was that? Are you related to Professor Crane?"

"Soul Gaze and he is my cousin…You two okay?"

Harry was spinning slightly "Will be shortly. Fay, darling you okay?"

Fay had sorted herself out "I'm good baby. I'm with you. I saw everything, I'm with you." She said as she pulled herself around Harry.

The rest of the Holiday went far too quickly for the pair of them. They had picked up some Japanese converted to American evocation spell books surrounding the elements.

Soon enough they touched the portkeys and they vanished. Leaving behind them some memories and stories.

(Britain)

Fay landed first and managed to support Harry as he stumbled. "Not know how to Portkey?"

Harry shook his head "Concentrate on your destination and keep walking." Harry nodded in thanks.

He hugged Fay and the pair apparated away with a barely audible pop and a crack.

Harry reappeared in the Tonks household to find four wands pointed at him "How was America?"
