July 31st, 2008 (Wolfe Cove)

Harry was currently doing some jogging around the island to warm his body up for later exercise. He needed to get it out of the way soon because later today he was going to Japan. As much as he liked having magic and an extensive information network, the whole 'not having a cell phone or any other electronic' thing was getting on his nerves. He had heard that there was a small group of wizards in Japan that were doing an extensive study into stopping magic from being able to effect electronics. He had scheduled a meeting with these wizards to see how this new research was going. Sammy had insisted on going with him since he had apparently not been taking her out enough. About 3 hours later, Harry was showered and ready to depart.

"Sammy, you ready?" Harry asked.

"Soon as you bring your lazy ass over here so I can get on you," He heard from his left as he saw her lounging on top of the table. Harry complied and walked over to her and held out his arm.

"You seem to be in a mood," Harry said. Sammy hissed back in anger.

"Of course I am. I haven't left this island in almost two months," Sammy said angrily to him. Harry sighed.

"Yeah, yeah, I already said I was sorry," Harry said back in exasperation.

"Your words mean nothing until you fix the problem," Sammy bit back at him.

"I'm taking you with me, aren't I?" Harry shot back.

"Only after I demanded it of you," Sammy hissed again.

"Ugh. Fine, you win. Let's just go," Harry said as he flashed away.

Technically Next Day (Tokyo)

Harry looked around and wasn't surprised to see that Tokyo had not changed much since he last visited. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the address of the place he was going. The building was in one of the warehouse districts, so he headed off towards the direction he believed they were in. After around a half hour walk, he finally arrived outside a warehouse that was clearly being blocked from being accessed by muggles. He walked up towards the door and knocked. There was only a few second's wait before the door was opened to show a young Japanese man that was probably in his early 20's. The man smiled and bowed slightly.

"Greetings. You are Harry Wolfe, I presume?" The man asked politely in Japanese.

"You presume correctly. You have the advantage of knowing my name, so might I know yours as well?" Harry asked politely with a friendly smile.

"Ah. How rude of me. My name is Takahashi Ren. It is nice to meet you. Would you like to come inside, Mr. Wolfe?" The man asked after introducing himself.

"That would be nice, thank you," Harry said in return. The man moved from the doorway to let Harry enter. When he did, he took off his shoes and left them at the door before continuing deeper into the warehouse. It was surprisingly well lit and organized.

"So, I am sure you know why I asked to come today," Harry said as the man lead him deeper into the warehouse. The man looked over his shoulder.

"I expect it is our research on the integration of muggle technology into the rest of wizard population, am I correct?" The man asked. Harry nodded.

"Yes, that is correct. Would you mind me asking how far you've gotten with your research?" Harry asked as they finally entered a room where other men and women seemed to be working on different projects that all seemed to revolve around electronics.

"Well, I'm actually proud to say that we have come pretty far with our research. We have already found the problem with the integration process. It comes from the fact that magic is really just a form of energy that has burst from our body in the form of spells. However, what many do not know is that we are constantly releasing small amounts of magic all the time, which causes the disturbance in the electronic waves that modern day technology uses to work. To combat this, we have tried to use magic negating runes, which work to not let any magic enter the electronic," The man said.

"So what is the problem, then?" Harry asked the man. The man looked around the room with concentration.

"The runes also stop the electricity in the electronics from working because it is also a form of energy and the runes think it is magic. So, this leaves us at square one. We have been trying to find other runes to solve the problem, but this has greatly slowed us down," The man finished. Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Why is that?" Harry asked. The man just looked at him for a second.

"Mr. Wolfe, we have no backers for our research, so any supplies we need come straight out of our own pockets. That, plus the expenses of this building, has left us with nowhere near enough money to properly get books and other supplies that may aid our research," Ren said to Harry.

Harry looked at the man, confused, "Why would no one help fund this? It seems like there could be a lot of profit in this industry, especially since there is no other industry like it."

"Those rich enough to help fund us are all traditionalists who want nothing to do with the integration of muggle technology into wizard lives," Ren explained to harry. Harry just nodded slowly at this as the information sunk in. He thought about the situation for a second before sighing.

"Well, it can't be helped I suppose. Mr. Takahashi, how would you and your team like to form a company with me?" Harry asked. Ren's eyes almost popped out of his skull.

"A company? How do you expect to be able to pull that off?" Ren asked very skeptically.

"Despite my age, I am actually quite wealthy. I will create the official company and you will be the one who is in charge of the research. I will fund the research and then when we start to make money, you and your team will start being paid wages. How does that sound?" Harry asked. He liked this idea the more he thought about it.

"Mr. Wolfe, I think you are underestimating how much this kind of thing can cost," Ren said clearly thinking that Harry was delusional.

"I will pay you 200,000 galleons to start you off. Should you agree, you could have that money as soon as tomorrow," Harry said in total seriousness. Ren's jaw dropped. He was speechless at this point. With that kind of money, they could fully pay off this building, as well as pay for any supplies they would need for the next year.

"So, would you like me to start drawing up a contract?" Harry asked with a smirk as he looked at the jaw dropped man. Ren just nodded silently, not trusting his voice to produce anything but a squeak.

"Good, then let's sit down and hammer this out of the way so you can get back to your research, shall we?" Harry said as he gestured for Ren to take him to a more private room. Ren just nodded again and started to lead Harry into another room. Harry just smiled

'Wolfe Enterprises has a nice ring to it.'

September 1st, 2008 (Hogwarts Express)

Harry was sitting in the Hogwarts Express and, for once, wasn't angry or annoyed. He was now the owner of a company. Granted, it was a small company that hadn't actually sold anything, but still…it was a company and it was his.

"What's wrong with you, Potter? You aren't your usual, annoyed, grumpy self. Did you kill an orphan or something?" Daphne asked as she came in the compartment, having been searching for Harry since she had arrived on the train. Harry turned to her and was about to say something sarcastic back, but as soon as he looked at her, all comments died in his throat. His eyes immediately zeroed in on a new feature that Daphne had on her. Or should he say TWO new features. Two BIG new features. When Daphne saw what he was staring at, her whole face went red and she immediately crossed her arms over her chest.

"What the hell do you think you're staring at?" Daphne demanded angrily. This snapped Harry out of his shock and he looked at her face without any shame.

"What am I staring at? Don't give me that! What the hell happened to your chest? You shove balloons down your robe?" Harry asked/demanded. Daphne was now the color of a tomato.

"Shut up. I can't exactly control when puberty strikes, now can I?" She shot back with more justified anger.

"Daphne, puberty has a limit. I mean, Jesus! How many letters in the alphabet did you skip!?" Harry asked incredulously. Daphne was now reduced to stuttering.

"Just sh-hut…u-pp, okay! Let's ju-st drop i-t," she finally said. Harry just looked at her one more time before nodding silently and settling back in his seat. When Tracy came in with no drastic change, Harry sighed in relief.

"Thank God," Harry muttered just loud enough for the rest of the occupants to hear. Tracy looked at him confused, but Daphne clearly understood what he meant and glared at him. Tracy looked even more confused at this.

"Am I missing something?" she asked. Daphne was going to say 'nothing', but Harry cut her off before she could.

"Daphne has two huge balloons suddenly growing out of her chest," Harry said quickly for an explanation. As soon as the words left his mouth, Daphne pounced at him with a scream tried to strangle him. Harry barely had enough time to put up his hands to mount a defense.

'Damn this girl is getting fast. Maybe I shouldn't be teaching her how to kill anyone she comes in contact with,' Harry thought as he fended for his life against the insane girl.

"Okay! I am sorry. I won't mention them again. Would you please stop trying to strangle me?" Harry pleaded. Daphne stopped her onslaught and just glared at him before pointing at his face.

"I don't want to hear another word about it. Do you understand?" Daphne asked in a menacing voice. Harry just nodded as he put his hands in the air in surrender to the scary she-lion.

"Good," Daphne said as she sat back down in her seat. Harry just sighed in relief. Tracy was apparently rolling on the floor with laughter the whole time the exchange had been going on and Daphne had to kick her in the chest hard for her to stop.

The rest of the train ride was uneventful. Luna did come in at some point when Harry had been taking his nap. When he had woken up, he saw her wearing a pair of oddly-shaped glasses and reading an upside-down magazine. He just shrugged that off, though, and just figured it was Luna being Luna.

"Good read, Luna?" Harry asked as he stretched his neck from the cramps in it. Luna looked at him and smiled her usual dreamy smile.

"Hello, Harry. Yes, it is absolutely delightful. Father has posted an update in this week's edition on the progress he has made in discovering the Rots Fang Conspiracy. Would you like to read it?" Luna asked as she held out the magazine for him to take. Harry just shook his head.

"No, thank you. I don't read material from media outlets," Harry said. He was lucky that this was actually true. He never had the time for such things.

"Oh. That's a shame. I'm sure you would like The Quibbler," Luna said as she went back to reading her magazine seemingly not offended that he declined to read it.

"Where's Sammy, by the way?" Daphne asked. Harry just sighed.

"Sammy has been having some problems with her…size," Harry said as he recalled how big his snake was getting. Daphne looked on with concern.

"Is she going to be alright?" Daphne asked. Harry nodded.

"Her core has just been acting up. I have put several runes on her to stabilize her, but until it's under control, I would rather not bring her to Hogwarts," Harry explained.

"What kind of size problem is she having exactly?" Tracy asked curiously.

"Uhhhhh….well…she currently is about 50 feet long, sooo…" Harry explained a little nervously. Everyone looked at him wide-eyed, well, except for Luna, who did not seem surprised by the information.

"What the hell? Is that supposed to be normal?" Daphne asked in shock.

"Well, not really, but its fine. She should be fully stable, soon. I might be able to bring her at some point since I can pop away at any point I want, basically," Harry said trying to ease the girl's fears. They both nodded slowly but still didn't look sure about the situation.

"Well… anyway, did you hear about the breakout?" Tracy asked the compartment. Daphne and Luna nodded while Harry just looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Tracy saw this and explained.

"Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban a week ago," Tracy said. Harry looked at her now with a blank face.

"Ahhh… the rat… Always wondered what they did with the man," Harry said as he recalled what he could about Wormtail.

"You aren't concerned?" Daphne asked.

"Now, why in the hell would I be concerned? Why would I be scared of that failure of a human being when I have stared death in the face and came out on top? Wormtail isn't even worth being squashed under my boots," Harry said sarcastically.

"Well, he was the one who sold you and Arthur out to Voldemort, isn't he? Do you not care about that?" Tracy asked. Harry just shrugged.

"That's in the past. Although, if the man ever crosses me, he can expect only death," Harry said seriously.

"We also have a new defense professor," Daphne said. Harry looked at her confused.

"What happened to last years'?" Harry asked. Daphne just deadpanned at him.

"Harry, do you even know who we had last year?" Daphne asked him. Harry was about to respond but was stumped when he couldn't. He didn't go to a single defense class last year because he found the entire class completely pointless as he was, most likely, better than any wizarding teacher.

"Not important. Now, what happened to him?" Harry asked.

"He disappeared near the end of the term. Just got up and left, leaving a resignation note. His name was Gilderoy Lockhart since I know you don't know," Daphne said while rolling her eyes. Harry scoffed.

"Of course I knew, I was just testing to see how good your memory was," Harry insisted.

"I am sure," Daphne said sarcastically Harry just sniffed in response.

"You should also watch your back. I hear that Malfoy Senior has been trying to have you arrested for that little stunt you pulled at the platform at the end of the last term," Daphne said. Harry just smiled.

"Malfoy Senior should watch his back before I creep up behind him and shank his ass like they do in prison. See how much he whines to the government then," Harry proclaimed happily. All three girls chuckled. Well, Luna giggled, but it was close enough.

"In all seriousness, I do think you should be careful. No matter what kind of man he is, Malfoy has plenty of connections," Daphne said in warning. Harry just sighed and shook his head.

"Oh, my young apprentice, you clearly still have much to learn. Malfoy has quite a bit political power, true, but you must remember that political power is just a sad imitation for those who don't have real power, like me. There are two kinds of people that have real power, those who are afraid to use it to its full effect and those who aren't afraid to go wild. You can already guess which I am. I could care little if the whole wizarding world comes after me. They have neither the numbers nor the raw power to take me on. So, if someone gets in my way, I will just run them down without mercy," Harry said as he crossed his arms.

"You're quite a scary person," Tracy said. Harry just smirked.

"Believe me, Tracy, dear, when I say that I am the scariest person you will ever meet in your entire life," Harry said.

October 1st, 2008 (Hogwarts)

Harry was chilling in his room at Hogwarts. He, admittedly, had been gone for most of the last month as he helped to check on the progress of Wolfe Enterprises. Also, he had just made it a point to avoid Hogwarts as much as he could. Daphne wasn't really happy about this. This was even more so since it seemed that Malfoy had taken a fancy to her and decided that she was 'his woman'. Harry made sure to correct that way of thinking real quick. Malfoy missed the first three weeks of school, or so Harry heard from Daphne. Now, though, he was just having a relaxing day in his pimped out room. So, of course, something had to go wrong.

Harry heard a firm knock on his door as soon as he decided to take a nap. He grumpily got up and went over, figuring it was just Dumbledore. When he opened the door, he saw that it was, indeed, Dumbledore, but he seemed to have two official people in robes with him.

"Ah, Harry, I'm glad we caught you. We need you to go with these two men to a court hearing. Nothing to be alarmed about, but it seems that Mr. Malfoy has decided to try and press charges against you. I am quite confident that I can get the judge to drop all charges, though. Now, if you would please just follow these two men, we can hurry and get this whole situation behind us," Dumbledore tried to explain calmly. Harry just looked at him and then the men. He looked at them for a second before a huge smile broke out on his face and he started to laugh. Both the men and the headmaster looked at him, confused.

"This is no laughing matter, Harry," Dumbledore said seriously.

"Shut the hell up, you old goat. And here I was thinking that this year would be too boring. Fine, lead on, gents," Harry said with a smile as he gestured for the men to lead him away. The still looked confused, but they nodded and lead him to the nearest floo fireplace. Before stepping through, Harry added a final thought to Dumbledore.

"Oh yes, one more thing, headmaster. If you try and represent me, I will reach down your throat and tear out your intestines," Harry said as he smiled with a creepy aura surrounding him. Dumbledore just looked at him, baffled, for a second, but was cut off before he could respond by Harry jumping into the green flames.

One hour later (Ministry of Magic, Court Room #3)

"Order, Order!" called out the Minister of Magic, who was acting as a judge, to silence the clamor. Harry just looked on at them all with amusement. These bugs all came to watch such a stupid event. They truly were the most stupid creatures to walk this planet.

"Session is now in order. The accused is one Harry James Pot-" Fudge tried to say.

"Stop right there, you buffoon. I swear if you call me a Potter, I will kill you and the rest of your fat ass family while you sleep tonight," Harry said cutting the man off viciously. Fudge looked shocked. Harry couldn't tell if it was from the threat or being interrupted or both.

"Then what do you expect us to call you, young man?" Fudge asked rhetorically.

"You will address me as Harry Wolfe, or you will not address me at all," Harry stated in a bored tone of voice. Fudge looked like he wanted to argue, but decided against it and continued.

"Very well. Harry Wolfe, you are hereby accused of the assault of a noble lord of Britain. How do you plead?" Fudge asked as he peered down at the boy. Before Harry could reply, a woman with a monocle stood up and spoke.

"Are we expecting this boy to represent himself? Where is his lawyer?" the woman asked incredulously. Harry decided to answer.

"I would appreciate it if you never called me a boy again for one, and two, I can represent myself just fine, thank you very much, madam," Harry responded snidely. The woman looked down at him.

"Do you really expect us to believe you are well versed enough in laws to represent yourself Mr. Wolfe? You do realize you are only putting yourself in and unfavorable position by declining to be represented?" The woman continued.

"So says you. Now, would you please sit down and shut up so I can wipe the floor with your useless politics and government system? I have other places to be today," Harry asked, leaning on one of his arm rest. At this, the woman scowled but sat back down.

"Now that that is out of the way, how do you plead Mr. Wolfe?" Fudge asked again.

"Oh, I suppose not guilty. At least I might get some shits and giggles out of this whole thing," Harry said with a smirk.

"Good. Now, to get started, we will have Mr. Vernstrum, who is representing Mr. Malfoy, speak first," Fudge said. A regal looking man in black robes stood up and looked at the minister.

"Thank you, your honor. We would like to call Mr. Wolfe to the stand to ask him some questions," The man said.

"Granted," Fudge said.

"Thank you," Mr. Vernstrum said as he watched Harry get escorted to a chair for questioning with a slight smirk. When Harry was properly seated, he started his question.

"Now, Mr. Wolfe, I will just be blunt. Did you, or did you not, hit Mr. Malfoy in his face until he was knocked out?" Mr. Vernstrum asked. Harry just smiled.

"I sure did," He said with a bright smile.

"I see. You seem to not show any remorse over doing such a thing, either. Would you agree with that statement?" Mr. Vernstrum asked

"100%," Harry responded with his same smile.

"Well, this seems to be a pretty open and shut case, Mr. Wolfe clearly attacked Mr. Malfoy and also shows no remorse what so ever. For doing such a thing to a lord of a noble, pureblood house, the punishment required would be Mr. Wolfe turning over at least half his assets to Mr. Malfoy," Mr. Vernstrum.

"Mr. Wolfe, do you have nothing to say in your defense?" Fudge asked although he seemed quite happy with the outcome.

"Not really in my defense, per se, but I do have a question for Mr. Vernstrum," Harry said as he looked at the regal man, who looked quite startled by this turn of events. Fudge sighed with a bit of exasperation at this but nodded for Harry to continue. Harry and Vernstrum then just switched places. Harry smirked at the man.

"Mr. Vernstrum, you are currently 38 years old and have a loving wife and two kids is that correct?" Harry asked the man as he started to pace back and forth with a predatory grin on his face, which he could tell was starting to scare the man.

"I fail to see how that applies to this case," He said back bravely.

"You will. Now, answer the question," Harry demanded with his same predatory smile. The man gritted his teeth but answered.

"Fine. Yes, it is correct." Vernstrum answered.

"I see. Do you love your wife, Mr. Vernstrum?" Harry asked.

"Yes," Vernstrum spit out at the boy waiting for Harry to get to the point.

"Good and how about your two sweet kids, do you love them?" Harry asked as he continued to pace.

"YES! Now get to the point, Mr. Wolfe," He finally demanded. Harry just smiled.

"I thought as much. You put yourself in quite a situation, you know. Going against me is very dangerous for someone's health. Do you like hypothetical situations, Mr. Vernstrum?" Harry asked.

"Get to your point Wolfe!" Vernstrum finally demanded.

"I love them," Harry continued on as if the man said nothing. "It's funny, I hear that your wife Elizabeth and children Jonathon and Kate love them. Let's see if you love them just as much," Harry said as his smile got bigger. The room's temperature seemed to drop when Harry finished his sentence. An uncomfortable silence filled the room. Vernstrum just looked on with slight confusion and fear.

"Let's just say that, hypothetically, your darling wife and kids were in danger. Would you do anything to make sure they were safe? Would you go through hell and back? Would you, say, make a deal with the devil?" Harry asked as he started radiating evil, murderous intention throughout the whole room. People started to stand and some even drew their wands at Harry, but Harry paid no attention to them. His eyes were firmly locked on Mr. Vernstrum, who now looked at him with sweat dripping down his head.

"What have you done with my family?" He asked in anger and horror. Harry just continued to look at him with a smile.

"Nothing at all. This is all hypothetical, remember? Now, let's continue with the story before anyone gets anymore antsy," Wizards were now calling for Harry's arrest in the stands.

"In this hypothetical situation of mine, your wife and kids will be ritualistically murdered at 12 pm today. Oh, would you look at that! That's in 20 minutes! So, what would you do in such a situation? Would you make a deal with the devil to guarantee their safety?" Harry asked as he sat down in his original chair in the middle of the room and crossed his legs with a smirk. At this, Vernstrum finally glared at him.

"You are bluffing!" he finally exclaimed. Harry just smiled.

"You cannot bluff a hypothetical situation, silly," Harry said. Just then, two aurors burst through the door.

"Minister, we just came from the Vernstrum household. It's completely empty!" One of the aurors said. As soon as he said it, the whole room was shouting for Harry's arrest. It got so loud that no one could make out a word anyone else was saying. Nothing was heard until a loud bang was emitted from somebodies' wand, silencing the courtroom.

"Aurors, arrest Mr. Wolfe!" Fudge demanded. Aurors immediately came up on both sides and grabbed Harry.

"Shame, my hypothetical situation ends at 12 pm. Hope nothing happens to your hypothetical family while I am being arrested, Mr. Vernstrum," Harry said with a smile. Vernstrum looked at him with terror.

"Wait!" Vernstrum called out. The aurors stopped pulling him away. Vernstrum walked right up to him.

"What do you want?" Vernstrum asked practically begging.

"That is so nice of you to randomly ask. I would love it if you called off this case and never crossed me again. Swear an oath also, please. I mean, only because you are so nicely asking what I want," Harry said with a smile. Vernstrum looked at him for a second.

"I, George Vernstrum, do so solemnly swear to never try or aid in the conviction of one Harry Wolfe or any of his other aliases again. So mote it be," He said sadly. He then looked at Fudge.

"We are throwing the case. Mr. Wolfe wins," Vernstrum said, defeated. Fudge stumbled over his words in shock trying to find what to say. Meanwhile, Vernstrum looked back at Harry and started begging.

"Please, please. Don't hurt my family. Please return them to me," Vernstrum begged. Harry just smiled but looked at him with fake confusion.

"What are you talking about? Your family is fine. The situation was hypothetical, remember? I have no idea where your true family is. If any harm has befallen them, I had nothing to do with it. Anyways, thanks for the oath. I really appreciate you swearing your oath. Thanks for that," Harry said. With that, the aurors dragged him away, leaving a terror filled Vernstrum, who had no idea where his family was.

Next Day (Hogwarts)

Harry was sitting in the library with a huge grin. They had found Vernstrum's family later that same day. They had, apparently, just been at the park Mrs. Vernstrum had started taking the kids to a week previous. She had no idea why the aurors couldn't find her and insisted that she and her kids were never in any danger. Vernstrum was more than relieved. With no longer being able to say Harry had done something to the family, they had to let him go.

Back to present time, Daphne was currently sitting across from him, staring.

"Okay, Wolfe. How did you do it?" Daphne said, having enough of staring at him.

"What was that?" Harry asked, feigning not hearing her.

"Do not play with me. How did you know the family was not going to be there? How did you know how to force Vernstrum into doing what you wanted? How the hell did you get away with it?" Daphne demanded. Harry smirked before throwing up some privacy wards.

"Did you really think that when I heard Malfoy was taking legal action against me, I would do nothing? C'mon, Daph, you know me better. I researched Malfoy weeks ago on what he was trying to do against me. I found Vernstrum was his lawyer of choice so I researched Vernstrum. I saw his family and learned their schedule. I, then, saw the mother take the kids to the park one day. I gave her the compulsion to continue going to that park every day until after the court date. Vernstrum didn't notice because he was too busy preparing for the case. After that, it was child's play. Vernstrum is one of the best lawyers out there and I just made sure he could never convict me again. I also scared every lawyer that may ever try to go after me again. Even if they know the family wasn't in any danger now, they now I am a dangerous person who knows many things to use against them. After all, I may not have broke the law but it was clear I at least knew his families schedule and could have had them hurt should I wanted to go down that path. I just put myself on every politicians 'Don't fuck with' list," Harry said with a big smirk.

"You did all that just to get out of paying away half your money?" Daphne asked incredulously. Harry just shook his head. He then looked right at her and smiled.

"It was never about the money, Daphne. It was about sending a message….. Why do I know that quote?"
