Recap: "...then three years ago a great man fell in battle. But on that night something happened. He arose to live again, I can't explain it but I can show you." He said turning around, and proceed to remove his helmet.

"Harry?"

Chapter 3

The group was shocked beyond belief. None of them had expected this. They thought it was somebody that had fought in the final fight against Voldemort. Not Harry Potter.

"Harry?" Ginny asked again.

"Yeah, I think you already established that." He said.

"How I saw you die that night!" Ron roared out.

The door burst open and four armed guards rushed the room.

"It's all right put the weapons away." Harry said.

"Sir." They said leaving the room.

"Listen Ron, I did die that night, hell I even died the night Moldywort killed my parents. How I survived I don't even know. All I know is that it hurt like hell when Tom stabbed me." Harry said.

"I get it part of the prophecy. 'The Power He Knows Not.' It's the power to survive." Hermione said.

"Part of it. But I think it's the Fates have established that I should suffer a little more." Harry replied but abruptly changed the subject. "Then, while I was in the States, I learned of some new Dark Lord two years ago, and began a campaign against him."

"Wait a minute, two years ago. Near Hogsmead, there were seven members of the Hunters Capture Squad. All seven of them were killed one by an arrow the rest by a blade of some sort. That was you?" Ginny asked.

"Mostly, if my squire wasn't one hell of a marksman, I really don't think I'd be here talking to you." Came the reply.

"The arrow was his?" Molly asked.

"Yes the arrow was mine, it would have been a bullet but Harry told me to go silent, so I went with the bow." Menefee said walking into the room. "Sirs the guest quarters have been made."

"Good."

"Why you?"

"What?"

"That raid, why you?" Molly asked.

"It was his right. Besides there were only seven. Also I thought it would be better to send a message to the Dork in Black. How did your raid go?" Harry asked his squire.

"Eighteen dead, one captured, he's being questioned right now. Sir."

"Good he may prove useful. Do you know his name?" Harry asked.

"Not at the moment, hell I don't think he's from England, Sir." He said.

"Well that's not good, now is it? All-right keep me posted. Oh and John can you tell the captain of Intelligence that I need to see him immediately." Harry said.

"Sir. Yes, sir." He said, saluted and left.

"What was that?" Ron asked.

"He's being a smart ass, that's all." Harry said.

"But that move, what was it?" Ginny asked.

"A salute, We learned that from a platoon of American Marines." Harry said "Trust me you don't want to get into a fight with The United States Marine Corps, but come in handy when pinned down in a fox hole."

"Why?" Molly asked.

"Back those Jar heads in a corner and they turn vicious." He said suppressing a shudder. "Anyway I'd want them in my corner, hell I'll take any of the American soldiers."

"Why any, where have you been?" Hermione asked changing the subject.

"Around the world." Harry said.

"Be more specific?" Hermione asked.

"Okay, I've been to place like Washington, D.C., St. Louis, San Francisco, Tokyo Japan, Hong Kong, Beijing China, Moscow Russia, you know I've traveled the world. Well so has my squire." Harry answered.

"All those places in three years?" Arthur asked.

"Yea, Glad John was with me in Japan though. Stopped me from saying something stupid in front of the Shogun. Just glad he could speak Japanese." Harry replied.

"Wouldn't a translation charm work?" Hermione asked.

"Nope. The room was in a magic no zone, and before you say that's impossible Hermione, no it's not they managed to create this room during the rise of their warring states period." Harry said.

"How?" Ginny asked.

"Ever heard of Cherry Blossoms?" He asked.

"No."

"Well then let me enlighten you, the tree is magic. Its blossoms nullify all magic in the area, the trees them selves bring a sort of peace when they fall from the tree. That is how the Shogun of Japan does his business." Harry said.

"What did you do in the other places?" Ron asked.

"What I did in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Beijing, Moscow, and Washington, D.C. are none of your concern Ron. But I really should tell you about the St. Louis incident." Harry said.

"What happened?" Bill asked

"It was after a Baseball game. We were attacked, by several vampire hunters, thought we were a pair of vampires that were terrorizing the area. Anyway somehow we ended up on top of the arch, don't ask how we got up there but we did. As we were fighting someone suddenly found himself hanging by upside down his boot strings." John said walking into the room. "By the way Sir, the Intel officer will be joining us for dinner, he's kind of busy at the moment."

"All right, but if you tell them . . . "

"It was Harry." He said bolting out of the room.

"Damn that boy."

"You were hanging by your boot strings?" Molly asked shocked

"Yes, and at that high the view is impressive. I mean for being six hundred and thirty feet off the ground." Harry replied as if it were nothing.

"What is this arch he was talking about?" Bill asked.

"The Gateway Arch, is an impressive marvel of muggle engineering, construction of the arch began on February 12, 1963 and was finished on October 28, 1965." Harry said, reciting what he read from the museum.

"Wow. We really have got to see it." Fred said.

"Six hundred and thirty feet in the air?" Molly asked still in shock.

"Yes Molly, and before you ask no wizard had a hand in the construction. Now I believe its time for dinner and I have a surprise for you all." Harry said getting up.

The group followed Harry out of his quarters and into the formal dinning hall.

The Intel officer walked through the door.

"Mum, dad?"
