Chapter 9 Operation Hero's Welcome

One of the reviews talked about longer chapters, sorry but I go where the muse allows. Like I said my time is limited and this works better for me. The chapters will get longer when I get to the meat of this fic, right now we are at the garnish. I could maybe wait and post multiple chapters at once if you all would prefer that. Anyway Enjoy another short one :_(

"I'm telling you Petunia, if we don't he will turn us into child services. Think about how that will hurt our reputation."

Harry was having a hard time understanding what was going on. For one thing he was actually sitting and eating with the whole family and was actually getting to eat his fill.

He didn't even get the belt after he had once again underestimated just how slow his cousin was and somehow got better grades then him. He was deliberately holding back and still Dudley did worse, it was unbelievable but not nearly as much as the scene that took place in front of him.

"Who's going to believe him. Old Man Peabody is off in the head everyone knows that." Petunia said huffing.

"He has videotape of me whipping him with my belt. He also said something about how you used a switch with thorns one time. He got that too" Vernon said

She paled at that.

"But how will he even know if we stop. We will just have to be more careful about where we do it so he won't see."

He sighed "Petunia this is Old Man Peabody we're talking about. He is like a bloodhound and he has nothing better to do. He will find out somehow or another."

"Fine," She said gritting her teeth. "Would you like seconds, Harry?"

He just looked on in shock.

XXXX

All it took was one simple Confundus, as well as training an elf how to work a video camera, and Harry's life did a complete 180. It really shows how negligent Dumbledore has been with him but I digress. I really think if anyone needed a break it was Harry Potter. The guy was fate's bitch pretty much from birth.

Bernard was just finishing his report of watching the scene at the Dursley.

"What's the progress on the other mission?"
"I have located someone but it is supposed to be expensive. I don't know much about the value of muggle currency but I'm led to believe it is enough to buy a small house with." Bernard said

My eye twitched.

"Do we have enough?" I asked.

"Sir I believe if you sell the Corvette" I gasped "You could afford it."

I grumbled but acquiesced. I had always wanted a 53 Corvette and now I had one in mint shape. Damn.

"How sure is he that this ID will hold up to inspection?"

"He seemed sure and he came highly recommended sir."

"Alright let's do it." I said sighing at the loss of the Vette

"Once we get that done, find a broker and start investing in these companies." I handed him a piece of paper.

Some of my long term plans would require a lot of muggle currency. Investing in the stock market required ID and apparently fucking wizards don't bother with muggle ID. I didn't even have a birth certificate. It was like I didn't exist in the muggle world.

"Why would you invest in a fruit company, Sir?" Bernard looked confused.

"Actually they sell computers, at least for now."

"Why is it named after a fruit, sir?"
"No idea"
