Harry woke up feeling better than ever on Monday. He felt alive because all of his projects were going well, he was surrounded by close friends, and he had his eye on a beautiful girl who liked him back. He hoped that things would not change, but he knew that he had a lot of work to do to maintain this state of things. With newfound zeal, he rose from his bed and started getting ready for the day. After breakfast, he left for Diagon Alley to go to their main office there. He wanted to move most of the operations there since both the Granger and Tonks families were close to moving out and they decided not to use Harry's manor office as the main workplace. When he arrived, his whole team was waiting for him.

"Glad that you are all here, as we have a lot to do."

"Will we get new tasks?" asked Penny.

"Yes, you will. We need to start executing our plan. Daniel, I want you to talk with the owners of the apartments and start working on a deal. At the same time, find a muggle lawyer to write the contract, so we can close everything in the upcoming days."

"Alright, Harry. Have you thought about the renovation plan?"

"Yes, I have. Even though it is a more expensive option, we will hire a magical company that specializes in renovations. Initially, I wanted to use future tenants to help with the work, but we do not have time for that."

"Alright, I will try to meet with the owners today."

"Ted, Penny, now that the office is ready, I need you to prepare everything for a big opening. When I announce my plans, I expect quite a few people to come here. As we will need to segregate them, I want you to create a few documents. Those who will come looking for help in finding a job will need to fill out a questionnaire. They will need to state where they were working before, their qualifications and OWL/NEWT scores, so we can assign them properly. Those in need of a home will need to tell us if they are looking for only themselves or if they have family with them. We also need to know why they are homeless since I do not doubt that someone will try to use us, so we will verify their stories. And lastly, those who will want to create a company and are looking for a partner will need to write down everything they are coming in with. Knowledge, abilities, money, properties, and ideas. I will analyze them, and we will choose the best options."

"Of course, Harry. One question though, will you be doing everything under your name?"

"Nope. Today, I will go to the Ministry to register a new company, 'Golden Bolt Enterprises.' Of course, everyone will know that I am the owner, but they all will be hired or will be partners with 'Golden Bolt.'"

"And lastly, Andi. How are works going in an orphanage?"

"Slowly but steadily. It will take about a week to end equipping the orphanage, plus the wards are still an issue."

"I will take care of that today. Meanwhile, take all Potter elves with you, as I would like for you to be done with everything by Friday."

"Very well."

"Alright, as you all know what to do, let's not waste any time." Harry then rose and left the building, as he had a lot to do that day. He started with the Ministry to register a new company. The whole process was long and monotonous but not particularly hard. The only hiccup was when Harry realized that the clerk wanted to know more about his new company. He did not doubt that without intervention, every piece of knowledge about 'Golden Bolt' would be leaked. So he reminded the clerk that he is the Head of Most Ancient and Noble houses of Potter and Black, and leaking that information would cause him severe problems. Luckily for him, he got a hint and focused on his job. When he was finally done with the Ministry, he went to Gringotts.

"Good morning, Barchoke," Harry welcomed him when he entered the goblin's office.

"Good morning, Harry. What can I do for you today?"

"First of all, I need to hire your curse-breaking team. When is the earliest I can do that?"

"Let me call someone from their team." He stood up, and after a quick conversation through the floo, he stood aside to let Bill come in.

"Hi Harry, what is going on?" the redhead greeted him.

"Hi, Bill. I need someone to redo the wards in one of my properties."

"Do you want us to destroy the current and build new ones, or remodel the old ones?"

"Destroy and build new. It's a Black property, so I don't want to risk it."

"Alright, we can be there tomorrow morning if you want."

"Sounds good to me." They spoke for a moment more, and then Bill left for his job.

"What else do you need?" asked Barchoke.

"Start contacting the owners of the properties from the list you made. I will take all of them."

"OK, I will start that right away."

"And lastly, I want you to create a new vault for 'Golden Bolt Enterprises'. It is a new company that we will be working under, so we need a separate vault. Transfer 5 million galleons there."

"It will be done by tomorrow morning."

"Great, that's all from me for now."

"Have you looked at the other reports we prepared?"

"I did, but in the next few days, I need to focus on other things. I will make good use of your work soon. By the way, how are your sons doing?"

"They are doing very well. My wife and I are very proud of them."

"Glad to hear that."

Harry then left Gringotts to visit Cyrus and Daphne. He left that stop for the end to avoid feeling guilty if he stayed there a bit longer. Unfortunately, Daphne was not there because she had some work to do outside of the office. Harry swallowed his disappointment and started discussing business with Cyrus.

The next morning, Harry started his day at the orphanage as the curse breakers were scheduled to be there. He arrived there just in time to greet the Gringotts team. After showing them the ward stone, he let them do their job and went to help Andi. During a lunch break, he was met by Bill, who was looking for him.

"Harry, can we talk?"

"Sure thing, what's going on?"

"I know that you and Ron aren't speaking to each other, but please visit the Burrow sometime. Mum is very worried about you, and Dad isn't helping by refusing to tell what's going on between you and the Ministry."

"Why isn't he speaking about it?"

"Because he's on the fence. He knows that you're right in this conflict and has not hesitated to tell Kingsley his opinion. But he also partially understands why he's making that decision. As he doesn't know what to do now, he refuses to talk about anything work-related at home."

"Alright, I promise that I will visit the Burrow sometime this week."

"Thanks, Harry, I appreciate that. And don't worry about Ron. After the earful he got from Mum, I think he realized that he messed up but is too proud to admit it."

"It's his choice. If he ever wants to apologize, my doors are open. Though Hermione may have a different stance on that matter."

Harry received a message from Daniel through Mimsy while he was working. The message stated that Daniel had spoken with the owners and they had agreed on the price. If they could confirm the dates, the lawyers would have the contract ready by Friday. Harry replied to Daniel's message that he had a green light to set everything up. With this matter taken care of, Harry left the orphanage and went to the Daily Prophet's office. This time he was taken straight to Cuffe's office.

Cuffe greeted Harry, "Lord Potter, good to see you!"

"Good afternoon Mr Cuffe," Harry replied.

"What brings you here?" asked Cuffe.

"I came to uphold my part of the deal. I would like to schedule an interview between us two," Harry responded.

"Naturally Lord Potter, when would you like to meet?" asked Cuffe.

"Does Friday evening work for you?" asked Harry.

"Of course. Can I ask why then?" Cuffe inquired.

"I will have some interesting information that I am sure you would like to include in your article," Harry replied.

"Then we have an appointment," Cuffe replied, inwardly grinning. He knew that the interview would be the most important article in history.

They shook hands, and Harry left Diagon Alley. As he was finished for the day with work, he decided to visit Luna. For the last month, he had avoided contacting her as she had asked him for some time to process everything that had happened. He understood that she was ashamed of her father's actions, and even though Luna knew that he didn't blame her, it didn't help her process that.

So he apparated to the front gates of the Rookery. The house had been repaired and looked the same as before. He walked towards the door to knock when he saw familiar blonde hair from a distance. He turned that way to speak with his friend. He purposefully walked loudly as he was coming from behind her and did not want to scare her. He stopped a few meters away from her, allowing her to talk first.

"So, it's time for us to talk, isn't it?" he said.

"Only if you want to," Luna replied.

"I don't think that delaying that will change anything," said Harry.

Luna looked at him teary-eyed. Harry's response was simple - he opened his arms and hugged her tightly. Luna came to him, curled in his arms, and sobbed heavily. Harry simply stood there, allowing his friend to cry out the emotions and trying to soothe her as best he could.

"Shh Luna, everything will be okay," he said.

"Harry, why did he sell you to the Death Eaters?" Luna asked, her voice shaking.

"Because he loves you more than anything, Luna. I know it's hard to understand what you've been through at Hogwarts, but some people love you. Your dad, me, Ginny, Hermione, Neville - we love you for who you are and we want you to be happy," Harry replied.

Luna sobbed even harder, moved by Harry's words. She hugged him tightly, unable to speak.

"When you were taken, your dad was beside himself with worry about you. He took the opportunity to free you without considering the consequences, and I don't blame him. No father in the world would," Harry continued.

"I'll try," Luna said quietly.

"That's all I can ask," Harry said kindly. Seeing that Luna was exhausted from her emotional outburst, he suggested she rest. As they separated, Harry decided to use the opportunity to visit the Burrow, as he was so close.

"Hello, Weasleys!" Harry greeted them as he entered the kitchen.

"Hello, Harry! What brings you here?" asked Arthur.

"I was at Luna's and decided to visit you since I was so close," replied Harry.

"We're glad you did," said Molly.

As they chatted about small talk, the rest of the family slowly joined them. Only Ron was missing, as he was out of the house.

"How is your job, Harry?" Arthur asked carefully.

"It's going very well. A few of my projects are almost ready to be announced," Harry replied.

"How will you announce them?" asked George.

"I have an interview with the Daily Prophet. I promised them an interview to help with Penny's case, so I had to meet with them anyway. I can kill two birds with one stone," Harry explained.

"Harry, I know this may be a rude question, but will the Minister be angry when he reads it?" Arthur asked.

"It depends on him. The only thing I will say is that I will not attack the Ministry during the interview. If he finds my plan something to get angry about, it's his choice," Harry said.

Arthur sat there for a moment, contemplating his words. He gathered that something big was going to happen, and it would potentially affect the relationship between Harry and the Ministry.

"I can only hope, Harry, that you are guessing their reaction correctly," Arthur said.

"I hope so as well," Harry replied.

Harry spent the rest of the evening with the Weasleys, and they avoided discussing the topic for the rest of his stay.
