Chapter 16: Back to England

Harry woke up in a daze as he tried to sit up. Looking at the window, he noticed that it was still dawn for the Sun's early rays were just starting to set in. Reaching around the bedside stand for his glasses, Harry managed to pick them up and put them on, finally getting a clear image of the room's extravagance.

Harry silently stood up and proceeded to the bathroom. Passing his desk, he saw Falcon, his delivery pet, currently perched upon the desk with a bunch of dead mice around his feet. He seemed happy. Harry just had to make sure the stink didn't stay in the room. Harry scrunched up his nose. Quickly snapping his fingers while walking, a fresh bottle of air conditioner floated over to the desk.

Falcon, having noticed the bottle levitating near him, squawked at the bottle and spread out his wings, trying to scare his intruder. Having realized that the bottle was nothing harmful, he went back to chomping on his morning catch. Harry chuckled at the bird's behavior.

Having the water temperature at the right level, Harry stepped into the warm bubbly tub to ease the soreness of his muscles. Last night was definitely one to remember. Harry had trailed a suspect all the way to Brazil, having been a part of a large mob member; he was a jack in Mr. Lee's book of cards.

The poor old pudgy Latino didn't know what he was walking right into. Of course he realized that someone was trailing him but little did he know, Harry had wanted to get noticed. From the suspects hurried movements once Harry hinted his presence, which was all he needed. This suspect was hiding something.

An old abandoned warehouse in Brasilia, who would've thought the old pile of junk would contain stolen documents of ancient times with invaluable worth. Harry was surprised that someone who was a jack in Mr. Lee's house of cards would be in control of so much treasure.

Harry snuck into the warehouse to be met up with the suspect himself and his four cronies. Noticing his presence, they stood in a firm line blocking off Harry from going any more into the warehouse.

Harry smirked. "May I ask you gentlemen where you got a hold of this invaluable treasure?"

The four men sneered. "That's none of your business four eyes. We have special 'connections' around the city that trade with other underground groups for these treasures."

Harry whipped out his arms. "I'm just going to ahve to make it my business then." The four bodyguards of the suspect stepped forward, forming a wall in front of him. Harry summoned a shiled before digging his heels into the ground. The four men all fired stupifying curses aat Harry as he raised his shield in front of his body. The spells bounced harmlessly off the shield with a high-pitched clang as they sped off in different directions.

Harry proceeded to walk forward towards the men, his emerald eyes clearly focused on the middle man. The four bodyguards backed up one step, intimidated by Harry's powerful shield. Harry took his chance, pointing his wand at the floor and releasing a clear white beam into the ground. The ground started to rumble as shards of cement and rock rose up from underground clearing a path straight for the bodyguards.

The bodyguards all cast protective shields around themselves to try to control the damage but their shields were of the use. They were trapped within walls of strong rock and minerals. The pudgy suspect was now in clear sight, obviously now scared of Harry's presence.

"What is you name" He squeaked. Harry lifted his bnags off his forehead to show the suspect his symbol. The criminal's eyes were now bloodshot as he stared at Harry's angry emerald eyes as if he was the devil himself.

Harry slowly and calmly walked over to the suspect. "I think the match is won Mr. Cortez. I will give you two option. You may quietly come with me to be arrested and the courts will be respectful to you. The other option is not obeying me. The cost, your life.

Sirens were heard in the background as squad cars sped into the alleyway of the warehouse. Harry's eyes flashed dangerously with the red and white of the squad car lights as he stared coldly at Mr. Cortez.

The Latin Aurors rushed into the building. "Mr. Cortez, under theft and suspected murder, you are wanted in ten countries. You have the right to remain silent!" The middle aged Auror spoke in a Spanish accent.

Harry looked at the Aurors annoyed. "What took you guys so long, I sent the signal twenty minutes ago!" The Auror apologized to Harry before rushing over to the five criminals and tying them up in a special magic repellant rope.

The captain walked into the warehouse, examined the treasure and turned his attention to Harry. "Thank you Mr. Potter. These treasures will be returned to where they rightfully belong, in the museums." Harry glanced at the captain. He was a strong tall middle aged man with a trace of a mustache and beard. Behind him two Aurors were seen to examine the warehouse.

Harry walked over to the captain. "Cortez is finally captured. This guy was starting to get under my skin." The captain chuckled.

"Don't worry, we'll deal with him from now on. Thank you Mr. Potter." Harry shook the captain's hand as he walked out of the warehouse into the Brazilian night. From there, he proceeded to apparate back to Harrison Manor.

Yep, last night was pretty rigorous, if you can count apparating through five national borders in the middle of the night. Harry stepped out of the tub of warm water and dried himself before wrapping a white, fluffy towel around himself.

Harry walked out of the bathroom and proceeded to his wardrobe where he dressed in his regular royal blue practice robes, a white sweater, and khaki pants. Harry put on his pair of white sneakers before walking out the door.

Harry started to walk towards the gym where physical training was to be today. Harry was now one of the best in that curriculum having special sessions with the Butler every night after dinner ended.

"Harry, may I speak with you in the briefing room?" Harry whipped around, noticing Mr. Lee had probably apparated right behind Harry. His face was serious and calm.

"Uh, sure Sir." Mr. Lee proceeded to apparate to the briefing room, with Harry in tow.

Mr. Lee sat down in his usually chair behind the desk, whipping out a large brown folder from a drawer. "I have to say Harry, excellent job on capturing Mr. Cortez last night. Terribly sorry for the such short notice. He was witnessed to be in Mexico. I had to get someone on the double and you were my best option." Harry nodded. I've been tracking down this particular gang for two months now sir. He was the last guy to complete my collection."Mr. Lee smiled at Harry.

"Well, I have to say myself that trailing him through five countries was not easy work sir. These criminals have special tactics of members watching their tails as they crossed these borders. I had to keep under the radar."

Mr. Leenodded. "It's been roughly two years since you first stepped foot into this manor, all wide eyed and confused." Mr. Lee looked up at the cieling remembering the past. Harry rubbed his hand on the back of his neck. It had definitely been and intriguing two years. After one year of hard training, Harry had earned the respect of Mr. Lee and was emitted to finally wear the elite V badge, a solid golden V clip.

"You are still my best recruit of so far Harry, and I expected no less from a person like you." Harry thanked Mr. Lee as a smile spread on his face. Mr. Lee cleared his throat.

"Now, as I have just found out this morning, Mr. Cortez had ownership of several large lots off the coast of England." Mr. Lee glanced at Harry, looking up from the document. "As we both know you are English and would probably like to have a manor there, I would like to offer you this large plotof land."

Harry took the document from Mr. Lee and glanced at it. "Sir, these lots are right next to the Channel! Do you know how large this lot is, and right next to the ocean!"

Mr. Lee smiled. "That was the initial reason for telling you this. You are now 21 going on 22 Harry, and in need of a proper home. I would sincerely advise you to start building the home of your choice there." Mr. Lee stood up. "I have already transferred this plot of land to you bank vault giving you full ownership. From then on, I have hired for you a crew of construction workers to build you manor. You will meet with them in about three days to discuss your house."

Harry stood up. "Thank you sir, I really appreciate your kindness." Mr. Lee beckoned Harry to sit back down.

"I'm not finished yet Harry.. As you are my top member and earned the respect of Aurors all over the world, I would like to give you a vacation. Travel back to England and visit your friends and family. Other organizations have this crime under control. I'm allowing every member a vacation." Mr. Lee's eyes were sparkling in the sunlight, a calm smile evident on his face.

Harry stood up, ecstatic, thanked Mr. Lee, and went to walk back to the gym. Harry whistled as he walked. Mr. Lee seemed to be pretty happy and content with his group of members.

Lucky had a smirk on his face as he readthe Witch's Weekly article he found Madison leave on the floor. Yes, he felt a bit immature reading a female article but what was in it intrigued Lucky to the fullest extent. Lucky himself can be a bit of an oddball sometimes.

"Madison, you do realize that Harry's one of the globe's top bachelors." Madison glanced at Lucky from her swordfight with one of the dummies and proceeded to walk towards Lucky, tying her long blonde hair together into a ponytail with a red ribbon.

Victoria, also interested, walked over to Lucky to peer over his shoulder and get a good glimpse of her fellow friend.

Lucky chuckled at how some witches commented about Harry.

Rich, smart, powerul, sexy, edible. "Harry's not going to like this."

"Like what?" Lucky looked up, noticing Harry emerge from the open door. Madison peered over at Harry before her face spread into a large smile. Harry had considerably filled out during these two years and was toned in all the right places.

His broad shoulders, his emerald penetrating eyes, his messy hair. He was definitely every woman's dream. Secretly, Madison agreed that Harry was certainly edible enough.

Harry walked over to Lucky, noticing that he held some sort of article behind his back."What are you smirking at?" Once noticing Lucky reading witch weekly, Harry playfully chided with Lucky. "Lucky! Witch Weekly? Seriously mate, I thought you were-"

"Dude...don't finish that sentence, and I'm not." Harry crossed his arms and grasped the article out from Lucky's hand. Once looking at the front picture, Harry's usual confident and outgoing personality immediately melted into blubber.

"Wh-, How?" Madison took the magazine from Harry's shaking hands.

"Well Harry, you seem to be Witch Weekly's top choice as bachelor. Quite an honor if I say myself." Madison looked over Harry before giving him a soft smile.

Harry finally found the right words. "That picture was taken from the American National Quidditch Cup!" Harry ran a hand through his hair.

Madison quirked her eyebrows. "So? We all know you love Quidditch."

"I didn't even notice a picture was taken!" Harry face was red at reading some of the descriptions the witches editing the article gave out. "I seriously don't think that a picture of me eating a ham sandwich should be put in an article." Harry scanned through the pages. "Lucky, it appears that you're on here too." Harry smirked at Lucky's picture. It seems as if Lucky wanted his picture to be taken. He had his arms crossed and was winking in the picture frame.

Lucky chuckled realizing that he was on the list too. "Well everybody here knows that I'm the best looking, right?" Madison and Victoria both raised their eyebrows. Lucky was silenced.

Victoria decided to join the conversation as she glided over to Harry's side. "Well, at least you'll know of all the fan mail you'll be receiving." Harry groaned and sank to the ground, carrying a startled Victoria with him. Once on the floor, Harry realized that he still had his arm around Victoria's slender body. He let her go before apologizing. Victoria, being a bit red in the face wobbled a bit when she stood up.

"Sorry Victoria, stuff just came back to me of the crazy fanmail i recieved during my schooling years. Knickers really." Lucky chuckled before picking the article back up and reading about how witches described him.

Harry rubbed his neck before sighing and walking over to one of the training dummies. He bowed to it and the swordfight began.

Lucky pretty soon put down Witches Weekly after admiring his picture beaming back at him to continue lifting weights.

Victoria and Madison, both tired from their physical training decided to just sit and watch as the men worked themselves out. From their point of view, it wasn't such a bad sight. Harry's swordsmanship skills were top class as he expertly twirled the blade in his hand and proceeded to defend himself from the onslaught of blades as a few more dummies joined into the battle.

Harry was now at odds against 5 training dummies as each of them circled him and stuck out their katanas in front of them, trying to get a clear hit at Harry. Harry, summoned another swords from the ground before forming an X in front of his chest with his two blades. From there, Harry charged straight forwards, cutting the head of one of the dummies while the others attacked Harry from all directions. The battle went on for several tiring minutes as all Harry could do was defend himself from five slashing katanas.

Harry, needing to end the battle quickly, released his magical energy into his swords allowing him to rest as his swords levitated into the air and fought with the remaining four dummies. Suddenly, all the dummies stopped moving as Mr. Lee walked into the gym.

Harry and Lucky walked over to their leader, clearly confused at his appearance. Victoria and Madison, from their point of observing Harry, walked over to join their partners. Mr. Lee looked at the four.

"Well, I am here to announce some important news. Since you are all clearly members of this organization, you won't need the safe house of this manor. You may travel around the world as you please to only answer my call of duty. Once you hear my call, you will immediately come back here to get your briefing. Understood?"

The four Elite V nodded. Mr. Lee continued. "Dr. Louis will be staying with me in the manor to proceed his medical training. If any of you need medical attention, feel free to call him." After the announcement, Mr. Lee walked out of the gym.

"Well that was brief." Harry shrugged to Lucky before proceeding to walk out of the gym.

"Where are you going to go Lucky?" Lucky looked over at Harry before smiling.

"I'm going to check out Hawaii. Heard there are more than enough schicks out there to satisfy me." Harry chuckled. Lucky always enjoyed a girl's presence.

"Lucky, I'm going back to my...family if you can call it that. Long time without meeting. We've just been sending letters to each other.I really miss them."

Lucky patted Harry on the back. "Harry, you are such a family man. I bet you'll be really good with kids." Harry's eyebrows rose. He really didn't want kids at this age. Maybe spend some quality time with his wife before some little one's came into the world. Of course that is, if Harry was ever going to get a wife. Someone who cared for him and his personality, not for his fame and fortune, unlike the fan girls.

Harry walked back to his room to send a letter to his best friends Hermione. It had been so long since they talked face to face. Ron would be there also, laughing with Harry about his ham sandwich picture in Witch's Weekly. Harry jumped excitedly onto his comfortable bed. Yep, he was ready to go back to England.

Author's Notes: First stop, Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione. Find out how they've been doing. Ginny will make her appearance, and a special surprise will be given to Harry that will shock his system.
