Chapter 75 - Harry’s Trouble Part 1

After returning from France and a week hanging around Sirius old family home. Harry Grew tired of the dreadful house that was in need of remodeled. He decided to take a walk around town leaving Fenrir to chase Sirius around the house.

Only, he didn't factor in he would be sitting in a jail cell as a suppose accomplice for a robbery and two murder charges. He shook his head as recalled a few hours ago while he was walking around.

After an hour of leaving Sirius place, Harry was wandering around downtown window shopping. From toy shops to cars, he looked at everything that he came across. Various ideas came to mind as he looked at them, before moving on.

'I wonder if my junkyard has a '69 dodge changer there.' Harry wondered as he walked past a used car dealership. 'It would be interesting to trick it out into a show car. First however I will need to learn how to though.''

While deciding to take a look later on after a stop at a bookstore, Harry spotted a pair of dark skinned blondes chatting in a cafe next to a bank. The two weren't naturally blondes he could tell right away but bleached their hair. The two had a bit of meat on their bones, but couldn't be called chubby either.

When his eyes fell upon their hands, he saw a pair of empty fingers. He didn't really completely trust the sight, but it was a good indication.

'Well, it will be a waste not to get to know them better. Even if it led nowhere.' Harry thought as he began chatting them up. The pair appeared to be in their late twenties to early thirties.

After a few minutes of chatting, besides learning their names he also managed to learn they had boyfriends. Besides learning that, he had a bad feeling the longer he chatted with them. Sure enough he soon discovered the reason as did everyone else at the cafe.

Two gunshots rang out in the bank with a few running out the door screaming. In the panic, two fairly large men rushed over with two ski masks in their gloveless hands besides two duffle bags of money. Both wore large winter coats and oversize pants and boots.

Harry just figured it was a way to throw off everyone from their actual size and quick to disappear once out of them.

Tossing a pair of pistols on the table alongside the money, they lifted up the girls before running off leaving behind the goods. Confused by what their play is, Harry wondered what their plan was.

Within a couple of blinks at the weirdness of the scene, Harry found himself quickly pinned and forcefully handcuffed. Pinned with a large knee on his back, he felt himself surrounded by a couple of police officers. A pair that looked very similar to the robbers a few moments before.

--

Now back in the jail cell as Harry thought back to the incident. He heard his name called breaking him from his thoughts.

"Harry."

A fairly tall man appeared on the other side of the bars. In his hands was a black briefcase and slicked back blonde hair. A pair of brown eyes stared out behind a pair of glasses as he looked in with a blank look.

"Mr. Bell, it's a pleasure to meet you." Harry greeted awkwardly.

The man in question was Katie Bell's father, someone Harry wasn't keen on meeting this way. Meeting one of your lover's fathers for the first time in a jail cell. It was one of a kind way to make an impression if there was one.

"I can't say the same. However, I promised my daughter I will be civil with you." Mr. Bell answered truthfully.

Shrugging as he couldn't ask for more as the man wasn't a wizard from his understanding, Harry decided to cut to the chase. "So am I going to be released soon?"

"For the time being no. Somehow despite the countless witnesses there, none have stepped forward yet. So, currently you're the only suspect they have at this moment."

"What about the two cops that arrested me? They were the robbers."

Sighing as he rubbed his forehead, Mr. Bell just sighed. "Those two are some of the most respected officers in this station. So no one is going to want to believe much less investigate your claims."

"How long are they going to hold me then?"

"Just over night. They are trying to get in contact with your guardian but due to your legal guardian being Sirius Black. Well, they aren't thrilled or rushing to get in contact with him due to being a ex-con despite being innocent."

After a few more words were exchanged, Harry watched as Mr. Bell left.

In another part of the station, two very nervous cops were holding their own meeting. Sweat rolled off their dark skin as they whispered furiously.

"Johnny, I think we messed up. The boy wasn't the runner." One whispered. "I just got off the phone from Liz and found out he was randomly chatting with them."

"What should we do then? That was our retirement funds and our fingerprints are on those guns."

Due to the confidences of pulling off this heist, both officers were a bit arrogant and didn't use gloves. While they knew better and planned to disappear after this due to the amount they grabbed. They didn't plan on messing up in the last part and giving all the money and guns to a random civilian.

"Is the ten million still in the station?" The first one asked.

"Yes, I just checked on it while you were on the phone. They expect to be done processing it by noon tomorrow at the latest." Johnny answered. "But Han, what should we do about the boy? He should know it us."

After a few minutes, the apparent brains behind this finally decided. "Alright, we can still savage this. This is what we will do..."
