Harry Potter stood just shy of the Hogwarts ward line, he had certainly changed since the last time he was in Britain. He had grown into a tall, well-built figure standing at 5 feet 10 inches with broad shoulder with lean muscle. He wore a Captain America shirt with a Kevlar vest over it, on his shoulders he had a grey cloak with a hood which he had up. Around his waist he had an M1911 on his right and a sword dangling on his left. The last 16 years the last of the Potters had been busy. His mother had gotten their Asylum request granted by the White Council, and while she had wanted action the council's hands had been tied due to an old treaty. Once Magical Britain had broken it by bringing back the Triwizard tournament and the British contestant died, the French government was approached, submit to the White Council or be exterminated, the French joined the Council leaving the British Ministry the last bastion of hold outs other than Durmstrang which the Council had yet to locate. During the years before that however, the Gray Council was formed to handle the inevitable war to come. Young Harry felt a presence beside him and could tell without looking it was his mentor and friend Harry Dresden. "Ready Mini-Me?" Dresden asked. Harry simply nodded. Harry was appointed Dresden's appreciate once he was old enough to start learning, and was quickly introduced to Karin, Thomas and Susan, Dresden's ex girlfriend and mother to his child. Shortly after he was appointed, Susan was taken by Red Court Vampires and partially turned. In a bout of rage, both Harry's started a war with the vampires, and together ended it. Both together have seen much conflict and fighting. After his nodded Harry walked over the ward line followed by Dresden. Albus Dumbledore had spent the last 16 years looking for Harry Potter and had made no progress what so ever. He was sitting in his throne… his chair in the Great Hall enjoying another wonderful Halloween feast when he felt two people enter the wards heading towards the school. He slightly frowned not expecting any visitors, leaning over to McGonagall "Minerva could you please see whose here? Two people just entered the Wards and there is no Order meeting tonight"
"Certainly Albus" was her response before she got up and quietly made her way out of the Great Hall. The duo had reached the main doors when an old woman stopped them with a glare. "I am Deputy Headmistress McGonagall, if you seek to enter the school I ask you give me your weapons and wands. Also we are in the middle a feast so I must ask you remain in the Entrance Hall until Headmaster Dumbledore is available to meet with you." She stated, before asking "What are your names and reason for being here?". Dresden looked down at her before replying "I am Warden Harry Dresden of the White Council. We are here on official business and will take myself and my companion to the Great Hall at once." As he walked past her. "Now see here! I have never heard of this White Council, and you will relinquish your weapons before you enter the school!" she screeched. "Stop this instance before I call the Aurors on yo…" was all she could say before Harry windlessly silenced her and levitated her following them. From what mom said the Great Hall is just inside. I'll lead this time Warden Dresden." Harry stated before pushing the entrance open. They crossed the Entrance Hall quickly and came upon the double doors of the Great Hall with a deep breath and a wave of Harry's hand the doors blew open on their hinges.
