Well back to work I really do hate the people at work. They held off on doing the harder tasks until I got there. When I got back it was hell, people were coming over to me to complain about mistakes in the warehouse. Things put in different places, labels not done correctly, the entire procedure line was fucked.
I'm like, i was gone for three weeks. How much did these guys fuck up. I'm the new guy, only here for 2 years and rest are here like for 6-8. And they are the ones making the mistakes.

Red John. That name definitely rang a bell.
All versions of Harry stopped for a moment. Since they all processed the same information in real time. One thought popped up 'Really? From The Mentalist?'
Red John was a serial killer, one that had killed the wife and daughter of the protagonist Patrick Jane. Who then spent years in the CBI tracking down this killer who kills all around California.
'Well ain't that a nice surprise. If I remember correctly, there was a whole secret Society made up of dirty cops, detectives, agents, judges and prosecutors. And Red John is the one who created it. Its revolves around doing favors, we help you out and when the time is right you do what we tell you, no questions ask. This is how these guys get promotions, take out competition and cover up anything that threatens the Organization.
It would be a shame if somebody just took out Red John and replaced him. Hehehe. Tiger, tiger.' Harry smiled and his clone Constantine was already on the move. Time to go to California.
Outside the train students were saying goodbye to their families and boarding the train. Well except one family.
"Now listen here I don't want any shenanigans from you two! Am I Clear!" Molly Weasley stared down at her two sons. The Demon Twins from Gryffindor.
""Yes Mum"" both of them answered in synchronized bored tone while mentally rolling their eyes. Frankly with the book their Lord and Savior Loki gave them, especially focusing on protecting the mind and lying better. It made their twin bond even stronger. Somehow they have gained genuine telepathy linking each other.
Before it was just a feeling. They were in sync and can guess what the other would say or would think. There was no guessing now. They could speak to each other and share senses! All thanks to what boils down to a mind and soul corridor between them created by Norse Magic. Naturally this was only possible because they were unusual even among magical twins. That kind of bond shows once in a generation across all wizarding kind.
Not to mention all the tips, tricks, pranks. They were ready. They were finally going to prank Harry Potter.
Molly nodded to herself. She looked over at Percy who was moving his perfect badge as it would be in the best position on his robes. She was so proud of that boy.
Yes he was already in robes. Normally wizards wear regular clothes since they would have to go through the Floo. But Percy learned a lot from his fellow perfects. Especially how they use magic during the summer.
The Trace is meant for muggleborn or half-bloods living in muggle neighborhoods. When an underage wizard uses magic that has a couple wizards there. The trace doesn't register it, since it has no way of telling who casted the spell. But when there is a single family in an entire block, its much simpler to tell if the spell came from the parents or the child.
He has been secretly using magic in his room during the summer. And this time he went in first, so that he could cast Scourgify on himself quickly and in secret. And since they were always late, his family wouldn't even register his clothes.
Now onto the two she was most worried about. Ronald and Ginevra.
Ronald has always been a jealous boy, having so many older brothers and hand-me-downs. He always complained, yet never put in the work to do anything really. Just lazing around all day reading the Quidditch section on the Daily Prophet.
But Ginny was an even bigger worry, it was partially her fault, telling her daughter those Harry Potter stories and that he is some kind of prince that is going to save her and they would live a happily ever after. Well instead of a prince, a demon showed up.
Powerful, ruthless and willing to take out anything that gets in his way. She had heard the stories that were going around. Someone heard from their uncle, who heard from his sister, who had a cousin living in the U.S. All sorts of rumors were going around, Harry Potter killed a dragon, killed a Nindu, killed all sorts of dangerous magical creatures for potions, Harry Potter is a reincarnation of Merlin.
And now her baby girl is going to school with that monster.
"Now listen to me. All of you. You must avoid Harry Potter. Don't get in his way, don't talk to him, don't even look at him"
Ginny immediately frowned and stomped her foot "But MUM.. "
"No BUTS! Are we clear"
""Yes Mother"" the twins answered but then glanced at each other ' ' She didn't say we couldn't prank him' '
"Yes" Ginny lowered her head 'Its okay. Harry will come to me, I don't have to go look for him. Hihihi'
"Heh, why would I want to talk to him" Ron made a disgusted look. He didn't even want to see that rich bastard, who was probably going to be friends with Slytherins this year.
"Fine" Molly let out a slight sigh of relief. "Now get on the train you rascals or you are going to miss it" She shooed away her kids with a smile on her face. And of course she would be, after all she and her husband will finally be alone now that all of her kids are off to school.
Before that like any parents they had to do it in secret. Ever since she had Ginny, she had her ovaries sterilized. That was the plan she hatched with Dumbledore years ago. After Percy was born when she actually planned to stop having children. Still it took three tries before they got a girl.
But finally they can have some piece and quiet, maybe regain that old spark. And just maybe she will be able to pick up a new hobby.
~ On the train
The twins immediately left their younger siblings and went to their friend and partner in crime, Lee Jordan. Lee was dark skinned boy with dreadlocks, he had a mischievous streak and it was no wonder he become best friends with the twins. Lee also serves as an cough 'unbiased' cough commentator in Quidditch matches.
"Hurry up lads" he ushered them in the train compartment and closed the door with an excited smile. They had kept in touch over the summer and the twins said they found some old notes in a second hand store containing spells that would help out with pranking.
"Relax, we got you mate" Fred pulled out a parchment with a few spells and descriptions along with a few tips.
"You are going to need these" George nodded, they are not doing this just because Lee is their best mate, they often times need him for a double distraction to confuse Fitch or one of the professors.
Jordan looked at the list like it was the holy grail.
""Lee?""
"Mates, I'm fine" he waved them off, there was nothing to worry about
The twins just shared a glance 'Look at this guy' 'Amateur'
"Lee you know what Fine stands for right?" "Freaked Out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional."
Jordan rubbed the back of his neck. He knew that they were right, he just got a little to excited. "So what's the plan gentlemen"
"We prank Harry Potter. But first we have a tiny obstacle to get past"
"Hope the Hottie Bodyguard? You want to go against her? Didn't she kick your asses in pranking last year? Mates it seems hopeless to go up against her. Pun intended"
"Nope~" "You got it wrong"
"Where there is a will" "There is a way"
"" And we have found the way""
The twins pulled out a parchment and on it were schematics for their greatest prank yet.
Lee looked at the parchment "T-this will take a few months to finish"
"It will be worth it" "in the end when we win"
'I have a feeling this will not end well' Jordan thought to himself

Luna was happily munching on snacks in Harry's train compartment. She liked it here, everybody was nice and didn't make fun of her. Maybe she finally made some friends on her own. She especially liked the pudding.
Ginny was her friend, but that's only because their families live close by. And when they played they always played Ginny's strange House games where she was married to Harry Potter.
"heheh" Astoria had a blissful expression on her face as her big brother was petting her head for doing such a good deed. Daphne was feeling a bit jealous since Tori was so close to Harry instead of her. 'I'm your sister. Only i can give you head pats'
Hope was jealous but for a different reason. She wanted to be in Tori's place. Harry often did that when they were younger.
"I'm confused" Tracy raised her hand as she looked at the newest blond in the group "What does she see again"
Harry looked at her and smiled "I have absolutely no idea"
"But you know everything" Tracy pointed out, Harry was a know it all, arrogant mad scientist.
"Exactly, do you know how rare it is for me to know absolutely nothing on a subject? Does Luna see magic itself? Does she see aura? Life energy? Different aspects of magic? I can only theorize, but I can't wait to find out"
Harry was one very happy insane boy. "Luna what do you say about working for me?"
The girls in the compartment deadpanned at him, even little Tori with her small understanding knew that Harry was asking something unreasonable.
"Harry she is eleven" Hope pointed out like speaking to a child.
"So?" Harry spread his hands "I have been running businesses since I was six"
"That's not the point Harry you can't just hire a kid to work for you" Hope snatched Luna and put the little girl in her lap. Luna was very petite and small for her age, she was the same size as Astoria who was a year younger than her.
Harry grinned "Watch me"
"Hey Luna how about you help me out with a few things. All you have to look at them and say what you see. I'll give you 30 Galleons each time you help me out"
Luna looked at Harry and frowned "How many puddings is that? I want to be paid in pudding"
"I'll buy you a pudding factory If you help me out whenever I ask"
"Deal!" The little girl raised her hand and Harry shook it. "Yay! infinite Pudding!" Luna cheered with her arms in the air
'Mystic Eyes get. And it only took a pudding factory
If Azazel or Ajuka knew about this they would have a stroke. Those two bastards would probably blow the whole RnD fund just to have Luna look at their projects and point out flaws or tell them what she sees.
At that level of research its not so much a problem with money, rather with improvement. They tackle extremely advanced stuff, the frontier of science, it takes a lot of time because you are going in blind and don't know what direction to take. And sometimes you just need some outside perspective to show the right path. '
"He really hired a kid to work for him" Tracy said in disbelief
"And all it took was a pudding factory." Daphne shook her head at this ridicules situation.
"I'll contact your dad and let him sign the contract since he is your legal guardian. And I'll see if he will accept letting you be a ward to my House"
"Hmm? What's a ward?"
"Think of it like being under my protection. Nobody will bully you or call you names"
Luna just let out a bright smile "That sounds nice. I'll write to daddy, he will be happy too since he was worried about the mean girls who are filled with Wackspurts."
Harry turned to Hope with a smug expression on his face. Hope only groaned and buried her face in Luna's blond locks as the little girl was sitting in her lap. Luna looked confused but then just continued enjoying her snacks.
Harry just smirked at looked out of the window. 'This year is turning out to be more interesting then I thought. I already planned on dealing with the Basilisk this year. It will help me get back the stats that I lost with my little suicide bombing trick. And the materials are essential. Other than that I still have to look out for Dumbledore's games.
Quite frankly he is a lot more dangerous than the entire Russlle Family. They are multiple high class yes. But Dumbledore is a Wizard with a direct connection to Hogwarts. As long as he is here he can just keep draining magic from Hogwarts to sustain himself. So i continue to do my part, let him play his games while i get stronger.
Speaking of Games, I need to check out the hidden rooms in Hogwarts. Before Dumbles realizes their location. If they are in the same places as the Games and have the same defenses, then i have a huge advantage. Then again if the reward is shit I won't bother with the other ones.'
Then he looked down at his hand ' I will be turning twelve, I am way ahead of any wizard at my age but at the end of the day I'm still only Mid-Class. Compared to some freaks who are born High Class I'm still behind. Bloodline does matter, wizards can scream all they want about purity. But they are just at most Peak Low-Class beings who keep interbreeding to barely keep that level of power.
For example Le Fey Pendragon, at 15 that girl had mastered multiple magics, her teleportation magic could even escape the Dimension Lost. She was somewhere in the early Ultimate Class and was on Vali's team and was squaring off against Gods. While I was messing around with Mid-Class spells a few years ago, she was or will be doing High Class spells. There is a thing such as too much talent ya know...
Well the only thing I can keep doing is to get stronger. Bit by bit, spell by spell. Until the day comes that I won't have to hide. When people will be forced to walk away instead of fighting me. And that day will come. That I am sure of'
