Chapter One – Plans

"Harry my boy! Lemon drop?" Harry smiled as he took a seat in his former headmaster's office.
'Glad to see some things never change.' he thought watching Albus's famous twinkling eyes.
"Yes please." Harry reached out and took the lemon drop and popped it into his mouth. He found Albus' eccentric ways comforting, especially after the brutal final battle with Voldemort.
It all come to a head like it all started, on Halloween of what was supposed to be his seventh year at Hogwarts. After Sirius died, Harry was even more determined to make sure he came out the victor against Tommy Boy.
They finally figured out what the 'power the Dark Lord knew not' when Harry came into his inheritance on his sixteenth birthday. It was a very painful inheritance, one to be long remembered for some time. Harry kept feeling oddly a week before his birthday; his magic shifted, changed, and became whole.
Dumbledore had Professor Snape get him from the Dursleys when the wards sounded an alarm. Needless to say, there were a great many surprises in store for them after that. Finding out that he was a Pureblood was the first of many shocks. Another was who all he was an heir to. The combination was shocking and unnerving. Gryffindor was expected, Ravenclaw didn't get much reaction, but Slytherin, Merlin, Morgana LeFay, and Rothmore was enough for Harry to faint from the shock.
Needless to say, that was just the beginning of it all. Dumbledore and Snape went with Harry when he visited the vaults of Merlin and LeFay when a letter address to Harry as 'The Heir' caused Harry to disappear then reappear twenty minutes later. Dumbledore told Harry that another letter appeared when he vanished telling them that he was alright, just learning what his new abilities were and how to use and control them.
Because of the newfound knowledge Harry acquired that was way beyond what was taught at Hogwarts, Dumbledore used his connections at the Ministry and arranged for Harry to take his NEWTS so he could graduate early and focus on some more training for the upcoming battle with Voldemort.
After passing his NEWTS, Harry took up an apprentice job with Remus in DADA, Snape in Potions, and Madame Pomfrey in Healing. Come to find out, he was not so bad in potions and healing as he thought he was, especially after having learned from Merlin, Morgana and Salazaar.
Harry spent was suppose to be his sixth year training the DA, helping out in the infirmary, and grading papers. There were only small battles with Voldemort and his Death Eaters during the year. It was like Voldemort was biding his time until the final confrontation.
Hermione was jealous of the fact that Harry was able to graduate and talked Dumbledore into letting her do the same around Christmas so she can spend most of her time doing research. Ron paled at the thought of studying some more and opted to just stay with his classmates. Harry didn't think he saw him run so fast when the subject was being discussed.
Harry shook himself from his thoughts of the past and saw Dumbledore staring at him with a gentle smile on his face. It was as if he knew where Harry's thoughts were a moment ago.
"I got a call from Traveler, he wants me to meet another necromancer and possibly train her if she is willing." Harry watched his mentor's face trying to gauge his thoughts on the matter.
"What do you know of this other necromancer, is she someone you would want to pass on that type of knowledge to?" Dumbledore frowned slightly, the twinkle in his eyes dimmed.
"I didn't have to look too hard for the information on her; she is a prominent figure in the preternatural community. Her name is Anita Blake, Vampire Executioner, Federal Marshall, animator, Human Servant to the Master of the City, Nimir-Ra of a wereleopard pard, and Lupa and Bolverick of the werewolf pack." Harry watched Dumbledore process the information and saw the twinkle come back into his eyes.
"From what I was able to find out, she is very protective of those under her protection. She has a good heart and is willing to die for them if it came down to it." Harry liked what he found out about this Ms. Blake and told the Traveler he would be willing to train her. The Traveler told Harry about his own experiences with The Executioner and he had to laugh at the wistfulness in Traveler's voice when he spoke of the friendship she offered.
Traveler told him that it was rare that someone offered him friendship with 'no strings attached'. Someone always wanted something from him because he held a council seat. Harry thought that would be a lonely existence and shared some memories with him about some of the antics that he and his friends were involved in.
"Is she willing to go to where you will be living?" Dumbledore asked shaking Harry out of his revere.
"She actually lives in St. Louis, which is what, caused Traveler to ask. He found out that is where I would be living and just took the opportunity that was there." Harry knew another reason was that Traveler wanted to get out of Europe for awhile, things have been stressful with the possibility that the Mother of Darkness might awaken. That would cause things to get bad very quickly. From the history the Councils have told me of her, she is not one to mess with and she could cause an all out war between vampire and everyone else.
Dumbledore must have known where Harry thoughts were and frowned, "Do you think that she will awaken soon? The council must be more worried than we first thought."
"It is possible, but we can only hope that she doesn't. I just finished killing one madman; I don't need another taking his place." Harry said gravely running his hands through his constantly messy hair. He was just tired of fighting, but had a feeling that it would always be something that he ended up in the middle of. It what his best friends dubbed the 'Harry Potter Factor' that caused most of the rules of the universe not apply to him.
"I will keep watch of the situation here while you are gone." At that moment, Dumbledore looked every bit of his age. "I will miss you Harry. I know you need to get away from England for awhile, but I will truly miss you."
Harry smiled at his mentor, "I will miss you as well Albus. I will not be that far, just a portal away. You can visit anytime."
"I am glad that Severus and Draco will be going with you. Every since the war ended, there were still many that did not appreciate the sacrifices they made for the war." A look of sadness and fury flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.
"I know, they liked America when they went with me during some of my many trips there. The Ministry of Magic there fully appreciates them both as war heroes and Severus as a Potions Masters. I think they will do just fine." Harry watched Dumbledore relax at his statement.
"I am glad that you were able to remove the Dark Mark from their arms. That has helped a great deal, but all of my influence in the Ministry could still not prevent from Draco from loosing his wealth and status. I could not believe they would hold the sins of his father against him. And Severus, they still would not restore his family's manor and vaults to him. You would think with the many harsh sacrifices they made..." Albus trailed off not able to finish without becoming angered.
"I'll take care of them Albus; they are part of my family now." Harry smiled at that, he was forever teasing Severus by calling him Papa. Severus would just sneer at him and stalk away, robes billowing.
"I know you will Harry, I know you will." Albus smiled and the twinkle coming back full force. "When are you set to depart?"
"We should be leaving in class=GramE>shortly, I am just waiting on Severus to finish some last minute packing of his personal potions stock. You know how picky he is about them." Harry and Dumbledore chuckled at the though of Snape frantically and methodically packing his precious potions ingredients.
Albus stood and came around the desk to where Harry had stood also and hugged Harry tightly to him. "Take care of yourself Harry, and try not to get yourself into too much trouble. I will try to visit a couple of weeks after the school term ends next week."
Harry hugged his mentor close and nodded his head in response. They both made their way out of the office and slowly through the halls of their beloved Hogwarts. Harry took everything in during the journey to the Quidditch pitch, memories of the past overwhelming him with every step he took toward his new adventure.
They met up with Severus and Draco at the pitch and Harry stepped back and let them say their goodbyes to Dumbledore. After some soft words and a quick hug Severus and Draco turned to Harry nodding their readiness.
Harry opened a portal that would take them across the ocean into a new life and the three stepped through.
