202 CHAPTER {300-302}

****A-NEW-WAR-ON-HORIZON? (V)****

"You had such a bright future in front of you! Now, look at you! You are a wanted criminal! You are wanted for murder and kidnapping!!" Daniel Harper snarled, his face purple in rage, but Jacklyn didn't even flinch. "How many countries are you wanted in?" Daniel asked with a growl.

"Eight countries" Madison Harper provided helpfully with a smile on her face as she continued to sip her tea. Unlike her husband, she wasn't angry or disappointed at her daughter. In fact, she was proud of her daughter… She wouldn't pretend to understand what led her daughter to become a henchman of a Dark Lord, but her daughter was big enough to make her own decisions.

"Nine, if you count the States… I am wanted for questioning for a couple of murders" Jacklyn added helpfully, earning a murderous scowl from her father.

"That is not something to be proud of!!" Daniel screamed, barely holding himself back from attacking his own daughter, but what could he do… He loved his daughter and that was why he was so angry and disappointed at her. Daniel slowly slumped down on a nearby crouch and started to rub his face, looking heartbroken and tired.

"I had such high hopes for you…" Daniel muttered in a low tone and for the first time, Jacklyn felt a bit bad for choosing her current lifestyle, but she didn't regret anything.

"I know, Dad…" Jacklyn trailed off, trying to come up with the best way to explain her reasons to her father. "I could have become a professional duelist, but believe me, I would have been miserable. I like fighting, I learned that a long ago-" Jacklyn explained before she walked off to the nearby window and stared out.

"-Dueling was the closest thing to fighting, but dueling is not fighting! There are so many rules! It's more of sport rather than fight" Jacklyn added passionately as she continued to stare outside. "However, Harry gave me a nice alternative. It was tempting and I decided to accept the offer" Jacklyn admitted as a smile formed on her face.

"The first time I fought someone for real, I felt alive… The danger was just so thrilling. The feeling of standing over your enemy after you beat them is simply amazing" Jacklyn purred. Then she slowly turned to face her mother and father, both of them were staring at her slack jawed and she could see that both of them were slightly disturbed by her admission.

"...Am I not right in the head? Probably. However, I am happy as I am. What I am doing might be wrong and I might end up becoming wanted by ICW or all the Magical and Muggle Governments all around the world if I keep going like this, but I don't think I can stop now" Jacklyn shook her head with a grim look on her face.

"I have seen what it feels like and I don't think I can go back now… I don't even know if becoming normal is even an option for me anymore or if I can even become normal in the first place" Jacklyn sighed as she tightly hugged herself, looking distressed. "However I am not worried, nor I am scared" Jacklyn admitted softly as she stopped hugging herself and her form relaxed.

A soothing smile formed on her face… "With Harry beside me, I am not worried that something might happen to me. I have seen just how powerful he is… Dumbledore? Grindelwald? Voldemort? They are nothing but ants in front of him. He could crush the three of them together and not break a sweat" Jacklyn declared confidently.

"The ICW was completely powerless against Grindelwald, so how could they ever hope to stop someone like Harry?" Jacklyn asked. Obviously, it was a rhetorical question, so she didn't even give them a chance to speak up as she continued. "However, Harry does not have any intention to take over the World. He simply wants to carve a place for himself in the world" Jacklyn finished with a sigh.

For the next couple of minutes, nobody said anything. Daniel and Madison were simply busy digesting everything Jacklyn said. They were still coming to terms that their daughter was a psychopath, but they realized that they should have seen it long ago. "...So, what is happening in Britain?" Daniel finally ended up asking, trying to distract himself.

"Voldemort never died… He did some stuff to prevent himself from dying back in the 80s" Jacklyn started to explain, but she decided not to tell them anything about the Horcruxes. "He regained a body recently through a Ritual and now Harry wants revenge, but the problem is that others are standing in his way" Jacklyn added with a scowl.

"Is that why you kidnapped the Durmstrung students?" Daniel snapped, still unable to comprehend why his daughter decided to kidnap some children or why Harry wanted to kidnap them in the first place.

"We would have left them be, but they decided to prevent us from killing a Death Eater. We lost a few members in the process, so Harry decided that he wanted a pound of their flesh. They are still unharmed and they are going to be released as soon as their parents and the Bulgarian Ministry decides to negotiate" Jacklyn finished with a shrug, leaving both of her parents stumped.

Once again, silence ensued as both Daniel and Madison continued to digest everything they learned from their daughter… After a couple of minutes, Madison finally stood up and started to approach Jacklyn. The younger girl simply stood tall, waiting for whatever her mother wanted to do. Maybe, she was going to get slapped or something, but Jacklyn was determined to keep standing tall.

After all, she didn't regret any of the choices she made…

"Ohh, my poor baby girl. It must have been difficult for you" Madison sobbed as she quickly wrapped her arms around Jacklyn and pulled her into a tight hug, surprising Jacklyn as she wasn't expecting a hug, but she accepted the hug nonetheless with a smile on her face.

"It wasn't that difficult or anything. I had a really comfortable life thanks to you guys and even now Harry takes really good care of me" Jacklyn beamed at her mother who continued to hug her. After some time Madison finally released her daughter. Madison started to stroke her daughter's cheek with a loving look on her face.

"I still don't agree with what you are doing, but I am happy for you and a part of me is proud of you" Madison revealed once again surprising Jacklyn and Daniel more so. "It takes guts to decide that. You decided to leave behind the comforts and do what you desired to do" Madison added softly as she caressed her daughter's face.

Jacklyn wasn't able to hold back anymore a few tears trickled out of the corners of her eyes… "Thank you, Mom" Jacklyn released a watery chuckle as she tightly hugged her mother. It took a couple of minutes for her to finally calm down… "By the way, you guys should withdraw a lot of gold from your vaults" Jacklyn pointed out as she remembered why she was visiting in the first place.

"...Why?" Daniel asked with an audible gulp, not liking how her daughter made the request… She sounded like they were going to lose their vaults…

========================

****WHAT-HAPPENS-IN-VEGAS-STAYS-IN-VEGAS (I)****

"Where are we going?" Sirius asked with a frown. He had no idea where he was going. Harry was lazing in the sidecar, looking completely relaxed. Neither of them was wearing any protective gear, but it wasn't a huge deal since the motorbike and the sidecar were Disillusioned and covered with Muggle Repelling Charms.

"No idea" Harry answered simply. "But aren't you having fun?" Harry asked.

After pondering for a bit, Sirius relented. He was having fun… The morning was pretty stressful. The start of the day had been extremely stressful for him with the revelation of his Godson planning to start an International War with the Goblins. Then he was reunited with one of his old friends and he was forced to admit that it was a fruitful reunion.

"I am having fun, but where are we?" Sirius asked. It had been almost an hour since Harry brought them here through a portal and since then they had been riding.

"If you must know then we are a few miles away from Vegas" Harry revealed, earning an excited look from Sirius.

"Really? We are going to Vegas?" Sirius gushed out excitedly and Harry simply hummed. Then all of a sudden Sirius frowned. "You could have said kilometers, you know?" Sirius pouted. It was unsettling to watch a grown man pout, but he was going to let his Godfather do as he pleased. After all, the man deserved some happiness.

"When you are in Rome-" Harry simply trailed off with a grin.

"-Do as the Romans do" His Godfather finished for him, matching his grin. "The Hotels are going to be full, you know, right?" Sirius asked after a bit of pause. It was the first day of the year, so Vegas was going to be completely packed.

"I know, but there is very little Magic can't solve and I am not sure if we will be staying for the night" Harry pointed out and Sirius looked at him completely aghast.

"I can't believe that!" Sirius exclaimed in mock outrage. "We are going to Vegas and we won't be staying the night? Not possible!" Sirius decided in a firm tone.

"...Alright, but just one night…" Harry relented after pondering for a bit. He was yet to inform anyone about their impromptu trip, but it wouldn't take long to inform the others. However, he started to wonder how the others were going to react, but he simply shrugged. It was the 'Boy's Day Out', so he and Sirius were going to have some fun and do some bonding.

"...Harry, I was wondering if you are wanted in this country?" Sirius asked, breaking Harry out of his musings. It would ruin the fun if they would have to spend all the time escaping Magical Authority.

"No, not really… You see, I haven't committed any crimes in this country and since the ICW hasn't declared me to be persona non grata, the Aurors in this country aren't going to look for trouble, especially when the Magical World doesn't have any extradition laws" Harry explained in a bored tone.

"However, they might try to fine us for illegal entry into their country" Harry pointed out and his Godfather groaned. "Don't worry, I will deal with them if they manage to find us" Harry decided to comfort his Godfather. Magic was amazing with the amount of Magic he possessed, there was very little he was incapable of.

"Fine. Fine. I will leave it up to you" Sirius huffed and decided to drop the matter. The two of them continued to ride down the street until they passed by a gas station. "Shoot! I need to get some gas!" Sirius exclaimed dramatically as he turned around the bike without any care.

Harry simply rolled his eyes at the antics of his Godfather… "Well, hello ladies!" Sirius greeted a couple of scantily clad women, near the gas station, but moments later, he frowned. The girls didn't even notice him. "I have never been ignored like this" Sirius muttered to himself, looking completely baffled.

"I might have cast Disillusionment Charm and Muggle Repelling Charm on the bike" Harry pointed out and Sirius threw his Godson a dirty look. "They want lift, Sirius, where are they going to sit?" Harry asked with a scowl. When Sirius was about to open his mouth, Harry cut him off. "They are not going to sit on my lap, nor I am going to sit behind you" Harry pointed out in a firm tone.

Sirius sagged at his words before he perked up again. "What if they sat on my lap?" Sirius asked in a hopeful tone and after pondering for a bit, Harry decided to relent. His Godfather was a horndog. He would be delusional if he thought that the man wasn't going to dip his pecker into cauldrons on this trip.

"Fine! However, no sex on the bike!!" Harry warned with a growl and Sirius eagerly nodded his head. He was okay with mashing bodies with some sexy ladies for the time being. He could have an orgy at a later time. Harry simply gave him a pointed look and dispelled the Disillusionment Charm and the Muggle Repelling Charm on the bike. Just the bike, since he didn't want to deal with the trio.

"Whooseee!" One of the women made a weird noise as she jumped back. Her tits jiggled and it was clear that she wasn't wearing any bra underneath. "Where did you come from, handsome?" The woman asked with a grin tugging on her lips, pulling her friend closer.

"I was just passing by when I noticed two beautiful ladies waiting at the side of the road. Now, being a good samaritan, I simply couldn't just leave you" Sirius said as he threw the duo a cheeky grin. The two women giggled and their assets jiggled… Harry would be lying if he said that a part of him wasn't getting excited, but he was way too disciplined to lose composure.

So, Harry simply groaned and started to wonder if it was a good choice to bring the man to Vegas and then allow him to pick up women…

"Oh… Is that so? We want a lift to Vegas, but you are on a bike" The second woman said sullenly as she leaned down, showing off her bountiful cleavage.

"That might be, but there is plenty of space for the two of you… The space might be tight, but I like tight" Sirius said with a grin and once again the women giggled.

"Sure, but what about the cops?" The first woman asked with an amused look on her face.

"I managed this far without a helmet, didn't I? I have some privileges, I assure you" Sirius patted his chest righteously before he threw a look toward his Godson who simply rolled his eyes and gave him a nod. The women looked at him excitedly and climbed on. One of them climbed on the back, pressing her bountiful assets on Sirius' back while the other one climbed on his lap, pressing her bountiful assets on his chest.

The two women were clearly gold-diggers, but Harry didn't care… If Sirius wanted to have fun with them, he could have his fun with them. Meanwhile, he started to wonder if he should bring over Tonks to have some company since Sirius was going to spend all of his time with female company…

'Boy's Day Out' could get fucked for all he cared…

========================

****WHAT-HAPPENS-IN-VEGAS-STAYS-IN-VEGAS (II)****

"I can't believe you decided to leave me and come to Vegas with that man whore" Tonks griped unhappily as she glared at Sirius, who was having the time of his life in the pool surrounded by topless women. Two of them were the ones Sirius picked up from the gas station and the rest were high-class escorts.

"Let him have his fun, Tonks. He lost a decade of his life in Azkaban thanks to Bagnold and Crouch" Harry simply waved his hand dismissively. "And you are here now. Aren't you?" Harry asked with a smile as he inclined his Champagne glass in her direction.

Tonks simply huffed and downed the Champagne in her glass in one go. Tonks was never a delicate woman, so the intricacies of enjoying Champagne like an elegant woman were simply beyond her. Harry didn't mind and simply poured her another drink.

Currently, the two of them were lounging near the rooftop pool while Sirius was in the pool with his ravishing company, so obviously the two of them were in swimwear too and Harry had to admit, he liked the view of Tonks in her blue two-piece bikini.

"Looks like someone likes the view~" Tonks said in a sing-song voice as Harry poured another drink for her. Harry simply smiled at her words and continued to stare, much to Tonks' pleasure. It would be a blatant lie if she said that she wasn't enjoying the way Harry was staring at her.

"You are beautiful" Harry retorted with a straight face. It was obvious that Tonks was trying to tease him, but thanks to Hela, Harry wasn't going to be taken off-guard by any of her teasing. While Tonks was a beauty herself, she could never match Hela in that department even though she could easily morph herself into the Asgardian Goddess of Death.

There was something ethereal about Hela and her beauty… Harry guessed that it probably had something to do with her Divinity…

Tonks would have huffed irritably at her failed attempt, but instead, she blushed at his genuine compliment… "So, are we staying for the night?" Tonks asked after a moment, deciding to change the topic.

"I haven't decided yet… There are a lot of things that need to get done back at home" Harry answered with a shrug.

"Oh…" Tonks mumbled. "Then are we going to visit a Casino? Vegas is known for its Casinos" Tonks asked. A part of her really wanted to visit a casino. She always wanted to visit Casinos since she saw them on TV when she was a small kid, but until yesterday, she never travelled abroad.

"No… I don't intend to waste any money" Harry denied, much to Tonks' displeasure.

"Oh come on! We are in Vegas. You need to live a little. So what if we waste some money? And if you are really worried about money then we can always use Magic to improve our odds" Tonks suggested, not willing to give up on the idea of visiting the Casinos. Right now, she was in Vegas, there was no way she was going to miss her chance to visit a Casino.

|Yes, Hadrian, money and gold are important, but Tonks is right. You need to live a little and you can always use your Magic to cheat| Lily urged softly.

However, Harry didn't answer immediately, he decided to think it over, wondering if it was really worth using Magic to cheat and win some money and earn the ire of MACUSA in return… After thinking for a bit, Harry realized that it was more than worth it. He never cared about pesky laws to begin with and he wasn't planning to start now.

There was a reason why Harry always craved power… He wanted to be free. He wanted to be truly free and to be completely free, he needed absolute power. He needed to stand over the whole world so that he could ignore the pesky laws and squash anyone trying to impose those pesky laws on him.

Right now, he was in a good position… The Wizarding World was his oyster, but he knew that he still wasn't up there… A bullet to the head was still going to kill him. The only reason he wasn't afraid of the snipers was because of his Danger Sense. Someone could easily draw him into a trap and detonate a nuke if they were desperate enough to get rid of him.

His Danger Sense would kick in, and maybe his Mother's protection would too, but he wasn't sure if those would be able to protect him against a nuke…

That wasn't all, someone like Hela could come knocking for him and kill him like an ant. Harry knew how his power worked… He could copy any Spell and his Reactor could copy any energy source, but against a pure physical fighter, he was simply a squishy target. Yes, his body was a lot more tougher than a normal human, but against someone like Hela, that wouldn't mean much.

Hela could blow away mountains with just the shockwave of her punch without even using any Magic to enhance herself, and right now, he could barely crack concrete with a punch.

Hela was only one Goddess, her whole pantheon was somewhere out there and if the Asgardians were real, there was no reason to think that the other pantheons weren't real… However, messing with MACUSA wasn't going to bring any other pantheons on top of his head, hopefully, and SHIELD Headquarters was in New York, he was sure that they had Agents crawling in Vegas.

Maybe, he could draw a couple of them out…

"Alright. We will visit the Casinos, but I am still not sure if we are going to stay the night" Harry relented and Tonks beamed at him before she lunged at him for a snog. "I think we should get out of here" Harry mumbled while kissing Tonks as he didn't want his Godfather to notice them and his Godfather was getting really frisky with his current company…
