Harry tossed and turned in his sleep.

Dream Harry stood at the aftermath of the battle where everyone was rejoicing. After awhile his friends started towards him. Their smiles turned to frown when they saw him standing there. "What are you doing? You were supposed to die with them." Shouted Hermione. "You've done your job, there's no need for you anymore." Said Ginny. "Just die already so normal people can make use of your money and fame" shouted a furious Ron. Harry ran away from the comments dodging hexes and curses from the people he thought were his friends. Harry woke up in a cold sweat groaning. Taking down the silencing charm Harry looked at his clock 'Oh joy 6am.' Thought Harry as he made his way to take a shower. "At least I got of the country before that vision came true. " Harry took his shower and dressed in a tight black ribbed t-shirt and black blue jeans that fitted him like a second skin. His boots were next. He tied his hair back with a green ribbon just like Snape had taught him to when they were training together. He took a last look at his fading scar before putting on some muggle concealer and glamour over it. 'Just a few more days and I won't have to worry about being recognized as much' he thought. Harry adjusted the wards to allow muggles access so the cable, phone and internet service people could find the place, before he made breakfast.

Harry set the coffee maker going and dished up blueberry waffles, eggs, sausage, and toast. After setting pitchers of juice and milk on the table Harry poured himself a mug-ful of delicious chicory coffee. Kurt entered the kitchen about the time that Harry was starting on his second cup and making himself a plate of food. "Morning Kurt, Help yourself. I'm expecting the service people to be here at about 8. So we've got a bit of time before I need to set the glamour back on you and get some clothes for you to wear." Kurt looked from Harry and back to the food before digging in after all it's not everyday he saw food like this let alone be allowed to eat it. Around 7:45 the doorbell rang. Harry glanced at the clock. 'Either the service people are really good over here or we've got company.' Thought Harry as he set the glamour on Kurt and summoned a set of clothes from his room for Kurt to wear. "Here these should fit you, go get changed and you can eat some more when your done." As Kurt headed to his room Harry looked through the peephole. 7 people stood outside his door only 2 of which had on service uniforms. 'This could be interesting' thought Harry as he greeted the men. "Hello what can I do for you today?" The people in uniforms stepped forwards and said "We're here to hookup the cable, internet and phone services you ordered." Harry nodded "Take a seat on the couch and I'll show you where to start in a minute. " Turning back to the doorway Harry said, "And you 5 are here because?" The group looked at each other before pushing a short guy forward. "We're representatives of the group Friends of Humanity. We're checking with everyone who had been at the downtown shopping center yesterday afternoon around the time of a disturbance was recorded. The security cameras caught your bike leaving the center about the same time as the disturbance ended. Care to tell us what you saw?"



Harry kept his face blank thinking, ' they actually expect me to tell them about Kurt and implement myself in adding a mutant' Out loud he said, "Let me think, yesterday, went shopping, bought stuff, met up with a friend, went home. Nope no disturbances in my day. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, now if you'll excuse me these guys get paid by the hour. "Said Harry as he closed the door in their flabbergasted faces. "Alright I need the TV setup with the premium cable package, the phone with international calls and all the other features. As for you the computers are this way. Once Harry entered his study he cast a notice-me-not charm at the files on his desk as well as his inbox. "This shouldn't take long." Harry just nodded as he made sure no other blatant magical stuff was lying around. Kurt came into the room a few minutes later dressed in the blue jeans and t-shirt Harry had given him earlier. "You need something Kurt?" Spotting the file in his hand Harry cast a concealment spell on it and said. "Ah you found my missing real estate portfolio. I was wondering where that had gotten to. Why don't you finish up your breakfast while I take care of this? Harry took the file and led Kurt back out the door. "We can discuss your thoughts on the properties in greater details later."

20 minutes later in the living room

"All done, Mr. Potter just need you to sign the bill and we can go. Harry took the paper and signed it. "Thank you I appreciate you both coming over here so early in the morning on such short notice."

"No problem, Mr. Potter. If you have any problems just give us a call."

"Good day gentlemen." Said Harry as he closed the door and waited till they had entered the elevator before putting the wards back in place and casting detection spells to find any surveillance equipment left behind. He found 3, one by the door, the phone, and the last one in his study. Harry gathered them together and cast a quick 'reducto'. "Alright what did you want to talk about?" Harry asked after casting privacy wards. "I wanted to know what you thought of the Xavier institute. It sounds ok on paper but do they really do all that or are they something different."

"Hmm, good point. Honestly this is the first I've heard of them. Then again until I met you I never knew that mutants existed. But my sources are trustworthy and they say that everything is legit." Seeing Kurt figit in his seat Harry continued. "I can go with you to check them out if you want. If you don't like them we can come back here and try something else." Kurt looked up at that. "You would let me come back if I didn't like it there. Why?" Harry sighed, "I would that for the same reason as I saved you the other day. I follow a very old custom that basically says when you find someone in need you help them. Also should someone seek shelter from you they are granted 3 days grace before to sort out their options before being asked to compensate for their room and board through either cash or labor. As I can see you have no where else to go which would put you right back where you started and defeats the purpose of saving you in the first place. If those people can give you a semblance of normal life then I will see to it that you get it. If they can't we'll try again until we find someplace where you belong. That about answer your questions?" Asked Harry. Kurt looked gob smacked but slowly nodded his head. "Well then, if you're ready we should get going. It'll take the rest of the morning to get to Westchester.
