Harry Potter: A Different Sirius

"That's part of it, I don't know. He's going to have to understand politics. Especially since I heard from Nic that the ICW governing council decided that to meet more often than every five years is counter productive. Which basically translates to I can't get cleared until the summer before Harry's third year at Hogwarts."

"Maybe we should just keep him here. Since if we don't Dumbledore may try to claim custody."

"We need to force the wills open make it so if I can't be there Harry can be with Minerva McGonagall, Amelia, or even Andie. I'll conference call Moony and Amelia in the morning, and then have them get with the new lawyers in England."

"We should probably have Nic there for that too. I'll ask Dad to give Harry a crash course in politics and strategy."

"You think he would?"

"Yes, Harry already understands the economic side of politics, between Dad and Nic he could get a good base in legal, and Dad loves strategy he'll even make it fun. Muggles have hundreds of games that teach strategic thinking and political thought. Dad, I swear, has collected all of them. We just need to schedule times. I'll go call him and Nic and invite them for dinner tonight or if they can't make it later in the week.

"Also Sirius we probably look into getting a nanny to help with the babies soon. I have to return to the State Department soon."

"Already in process sweetheart. I knew that was coming up so I advertised with The Witches Helper agency they got twenty resumes for us. I gave them to Radar to screen he said he'd have the WIS approved candidates to us Monday after that we do the interviews and we'll have a nanny."

Two hours later Harry wandered into the kitchen and poured a glass of milk for himself and a small saucer for Sheba. Then he toasted some bread.

"How are you feeling?" Sirius asked.

"A little rough but better than last night. Sleep helped."

"I think I want to set some guidelines. At school during the week, you close yourself off from that segment of your mind. Friday you come home and we work on a small segment you don't do it by yourself you work either with me or George so you have someone with you while you process. Afterward, you talk with one or both of us. George made the decision to join our private force and just do consulting for WIS. Chambers doesn't really use him the way he expected, he thought he'd be doing profiling and helping his fellows recover from stress. He feels under utilized and he's tired of Chamber's bull on his annual reviews."

"What's Roy say?"

"He's pissed as hell at Chambers, but is torn between being annoyed at me for luring another of his future best people away and being happy for his friend. He tells me, I can't have anyone else." Sirius chuckled. "He may not get that option, Rachel's been hinting if I made an offer she'd jump ship."

"So what's George going to do for you?"

"Well I think I'll have him doing pyschological evaluations on employees so I can optimize the people I hire and their placement. I plan for him and Rachel to come up with a mental and physical training program to rival WIS' so the security people for DeSable Potter Industries can keep secret what we want and prevent anyone with questionable intentions from endangering any of our people. That's in addition to teaching you. I found out that George knows kendo and fencing so he'll be tutoring you in those on weekends in addition to your other teachers that you'll met with during the week.

"I was pleased with your grades last trimester, straight A's. What are you taking this time?"

"Same old. Humanities, Social Science we're supposed to do a sociology project this trimester which should be fun, last trimester we did a mock trial. The new teacher is very hands on project oriented. Pre-Algebra, Biology last trimester was a overview with an emphasis on classification, environments and webs and the nitrogen and carbon cycles, this trimester is an emphasis on anatomy, next trimester is an emphasis on cellular biology. Orchestra, Cotillion, Latin the teacher says I've advanced enough in that that I'll have to have another language next year cause I've moved through the coursework faster than most students. Composition. I'll be doing water polo for school sport." Harry paused before continuing in a bit of a rush. "I signed up for a different sort of class in place of Horsemanship. Actually Dominic, Michael, Steve and I all signed up for it. It's kind of stupid, Michael still has Mr. Ingalls as a floor parent and he recommended to all the boys on that floor to take a home economics course before graduation to learn the basics of cooking, cleaning, sewing and house hold budgets and whatnot. Well a bunch of the boys from both our floors were mocking Michael in the cafeteria for even considering it; but I opened my mouth and Steve opened his so in the end all four of us signed up for it together. This way we all know we won't be the only boy in the class. "

Sirius blinked. Harry was blushing slightly.

"Are you going to say anything?"

"I think that a class like that is a very good idea. It will give you some good life skills. I wish Hogwarts had offered such a course. And some boys might mock you but I think a lot of men when they get out on their own wish they had taken something like that. So your mundane education is well in hand. How are we going to handle the magical?"

"Well charms is a matter of practice and memorizing spells I'll put in an hour or two of practice with Hawkeye each weekend. She already volunteered. Transfiguration is a little different. I'm doing decent at inanimate to inanimate. I've successfully done objects up to the size of a lunch box. I'm okay at animate to inanimate and Rachel got me started on inanimate to animate which just leaves animate to animate, human transfiguration, before doing the final aspect of transfiguration conjuration.

I'd like to go to Chicago again. Walter has let me brew with him a few times he says I have potential. But I haven't done much with it. Maybe we should have me meet with Walter as well as George each weekend to get me going on potions. As far as specialized training how about next break I do two jumps one at the end of the trimester so I am elsewhere maybe Chicago for Defense I jump back to February from April. One of me takes the month of school off because I need the downtime. And I do one more jump and I work exclusively on processing Moldyshorts memories."

"Are you sure Harry?"
