28 Chapter 28 Wrapping up in Kamar-Taj

Since Harry was assigned the task of Wifi installation, he decided to do it with vigor. He did own several companies after all and knew a thing or two about electronics. Harry paid for the construction needed to have a dedicated fiber optics line installed from the nearest hub in Tibet directly to Kamar-Taj. For interior aesthetics to not be compromised he kept the lines out of sight by using transmutation spells to create openings in the walls to run Ethernet and Coaxial lines. And last, he set up a server room with the most advanced computers available personally built and engraved by him to protect against magic, wear, tear, and even technopathic hacking. The latter he had been looking into as it was considered a form of Sorcery that used electromagnetic energy rather than nature or dimensional energy.

Maybe he was going overboard, but he wanted to do it right.

The server room would host a Website that included a large amount of basic Arcane knowledge that Harry spent a month personally writing into the various web pages of the site. It wasn't knowledge on how to cast spells of course, but it did include very broad safety and awareness tips on magic and sorcery in general and also included direct definitions of Wizard, Witch, Sorcerer, Chi Wizard, Warlock, etc. Technically this was a breach of the International Statute of Secrecy, but the website itself gave the feel of Occult and never mentioned that such people were alive and still active. For example, it stated that Wizards in general preferred to live with other Wizards and strange things would happen when they were upset. The Website clearly stated that Wizards haven't been seen for centuries though it did hint that may have just been because they didn't want to be seen and if you did see one to ignore them unless you wanted to experience life as a frog as they disliked being bothered.

To make the site feel less real and more commercial, Harry included Advertising links to specific Companies he set up which sold Wizard and Witch paraphernalia such as replicas of wizard robes and different types of fake wands. He did so with several other companies, both ones he owned and third party ones. None of them actually sold real magical items though, only things which looked magical.

The largest section of the website included classifications on demons, demon sorcerers, magical creatures, and magic in general and gave simple ways to protect yourself if encountered any of them. Some of this knowledge came from Kamar-Taj's library which included Egypt's Golden Book of Life while other pieces of knowledge were taken directly from the Grand Grimoire, the Book of Vishanti, and even the Darkhold. Whenever Harry needed information and such information happened to be inside the Darkhold, he would become aware of it. This however only worked if he didn't think to look specifically in the Darkhold for it so it could only be accessed indirectly when a related subject came up. The Darkhold did in fact include a few means one could use to protect oneself from the darker side of magic, but those were actually used as parts of larger, darker rituals and spells which Harry couldn't consciously recall. Specific shapes and symbols could make demons uncomfortable even without active magic so Harry had a few jewelry and cheap trinket making companies make some things and placed Ads for them on the website.

Harry wasn't sure if it would work, but he also placed a powerful variant of the Notice-Me-Not charm on the servers which held the information. It was almost permanent and had no effect against people looking for specific knowledge within the site. What it should accomplish however was the prevention of people not looking for it from finding it. Anyone not looking for information contained within the site wasn't likely to notice its existence.

*Ping*

[Scholar Path has risen to Rank 42]

The moment Harry finished and launched the website he got his first Scholar Path Rank up this year. It hadn't increased since Harry learned a different Dimension's version of Block Transfer Computation and even trying to make his own hadn't gotten another Rank out of it. Harry knew the higher the path increased the harder it would be to increase further but this was getting ridiculous. It seemed that his website counted as a lesson taught to the whole of the world which was why he finally was able to increase it a rank. That made Harry wonder about his other paths so he brought up his stats.

Psionic Path Rank 17]

Looking at the new Psionic Path, Harry really did wonder how much time he must have spent Paused, working on his own mind for it to jump seven ranks. When he looked back into his mind he found there was literally nothing more he could do with it so he probably went all the way to the limit of internal Psionics. The funny thing was that Harry didn't actually block people from entering his mind, he simply did a ridiculous amount of complex things to make it very dangerous and unproductive to do so.

Psionics as a Path was different from magic. Magic was basically the manipulation of energies either found or created. Psionics was the power of the mind and was rounded off into three skill sets. Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Astral creation which were basically mind over mind, mind over matter, and mind over existence respectively. Harry's Battle meditation allowed him to take an astral form without a talent in Psionics but that was likely a part of the power gifted by the Phoenix Force. Astral creation itself was the field of using the mind to create mental or physical effects within astral or physical space.

There was some overlap of course as many abilities could be generated by either Magic or Psionics. Pyrokinesis for example could either be considered a Psionic Power or a Magic Power depending on the source of the fire. If someone generated the fire, it would likely be a magic based power but that person would not be able to generate infinite amounts or control fire not created through their magic. Their fire however would be very difficult to extinguish as it was a part of them. If they could not generate it but could control it, then it would be classified as a Psionic Power and the user would likely be able to control far higher volumes of fire as they wouldn't need to waste energy creating it as fire was something that could create itself if controlled right. However the fire would have the properties of normal fire and could be put out in the same manner.

After a bit of practicing, it didn't take much effort for Harry to figure out how to read minds since he had practice with Occlumency and Legilimency so it was just different tricks to achieve the same goal. Telekinesis was also pretty simple though he could only move things in general directions. Just like Magic, Psionics was a skill set that was powered by INT and WIS so this path came very easily to Harry thanks to the Phoenix Force opening the door for him.

His new Perk, the Phoenix Flames he acquired had two effects. First, it acted as a multiplier for the speed he could Rank up his Psionic Path. Second, it allowed him to use the Phoenix Flames skill which was an application of Telekinesis, Telepathy, and Astral Creation at the same time. It could burn matter, mind, and the soul, but the energy it left behind would return to the earth and express itself as new life. This also meant Harry couldn't absorb the energy of anything he killed with it for Experience and Levels. Though his use of it was very weak at the moment and far weaker than his magic due to the different in path levels.

As for his magic, he had been making some progress in creating new spells for his Strength and Dimensional energy which had fully fused into his Exotic energy. The Heart Palace technique basically accumulated a small portion of energy within the body and tuned it to the life and soul of the user making it a part of them. The user could then use that tuned energy to channel and control external sources of the same energy by first channeling it through their body. It was still the same Dimensional energy he was absorbing, but the part of him that directed it was now saturated with Exotic energy. Not only that, any Dimensional energy he used his body to channel would combine with the Exotic energy he naturally created due to the effect of the already fused Dimension energy directing it through his body.

The only way he could return to using Dimensional energy on its own again would be to purge his body and heart palace of the Dimensional energy. However, he only got it into his Heart Palace by imaging it as a part of him. If he rejected it, he would never be able to think of it as a part of him again so he would lose everything and be unable to ever regain it. There wasn't a single merit in doing so of course.

Strength energy fused with Exotic energy wasn't difficult to find some applications for. It was easy to use to directly strengthen the body but using a few new spells he hashed out could now allow him to create a Magic Shield using Strength energy even stronger than Dimensional energy shields. Exotic energy magic shields were only designed to block magic and were actually very good at it but were nearly useless against guns. Dimensional energy shields were like hardened glass planes and could stop a few rounds of bullets in addition to magic but nothing that high powered. His new shield though was far stronger than any previous shield he could use. His next step was to see if he could charge an item with this shield and give it to others.

Harry could still use constructs of Dimensional energy and use Dimensional energy to strengthen and move his body, but doing so used far more energy than it used to. However, he had figured out a way to charge his constructs with spells. For example, he could create a Bo Staff or whip that inflicted the Stunner Spell on contact or a Sword that used the Severing charm every time he swung it. He still hadn't figured out a way to create portals with his Exotic energy saturated Dimensional energy but he'd live without it for now since he could create and use Portkeys and Apparate long distances and even fly in his Animagus form.

His Anti Magic suffered the hardest though. He had a dozen Anti Magic Spells he had gotten quite good at but now he was reduced to the one and lucky to even have that. Anti Magic was a very difficult type of energy to reign in and control after all.

One thing he was truly thankful for was that although his Sorcerer magics contained Exotic energy, it didn't radiate out from the spell itself like his wizard magic did. This meant he wouldn't have to hold himself back from using it in tech filled areas. What was even better, was that unlike his wizard magic which couldn't be used while he was suppressing it to prevent all tech around him from crashing, his fused magics could be used while suppressing his Exotic energy emissions.

Not long after Harry finished installing Wifi and setting up the Website he dubbed Mystic Knowledge .com, the Ancient One called him in for a meeting.

She made the tea this time and once he sat down the Ancient One said, "I intended to bring this up with you regardless, but as Ms. Rasputin has recommended it, we can discuss it now. I'm sure you are aware of this, but you have reached the Rank of Master long ago. Usually at this point those who remain in Kamar-Taj start teaching others and start fighting in the front lines in the fight to defend the earth. Now however your Dimensional energy can no longer be felt by others who have mastered it which will draw suspicion if you continue to stay. In either case, the time for you to move on has come and Ms. Rasputin's suggestion was something I already considered. In New York there is a school called Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It is High School level boarding school, and much like your previous one, it is not what it appears to be. It is in fact a place where young mutants can go to learn and train with their abilities. Enrolling you in the fall semester three months from now would give you time to adjust your new magics and prepare yourself. I understand you wish to continue your education as well."

Harry answered, "Yeah, the Goblins told me the cover I paid them to make won't hold up under intense scrutiny. I can get into a normal college well enough but a major one won't accept me."

The Ancient One nodded, "The Xavier Institute houses some of the finest minds on the planet. You will likely gain more there than you would at any other institute of higher education."

Harry asked, "But what am I going to say about my mutant ability? You I trust. I can't however just inform others who have not earned my trust about my abilities and many of them tend to stand out."

"Yes and I agree with you. It will do no good for the true nature of your mutation to get out as it would draw too much attention. The aspect of your gift that shields you from distant eyes and the eyes of those looking into the future will not stop others from looking at you should you stand out in the present. I believe we should choose a single aspect of your abilities and allow others to take that as your mutant ability."

"Umm. Which one?" Harry was essentially immortal, strong, fast, could use magic, mind arts, and immortal dragon chi. There was also his inventory, his crafting, and his overall intellect as well as his vast repository of knowledge and his inhuman learning speed.

"I can think of three options." She started listing. "You can walk the path of physical prowess and claim a dragon-like body as your mutant ability. You can use this as an opportunity to train your Dragon Chi while pretending that your healing ability and increased stats are all a part of your mutation. This would be the easiest to display and safest overall. No matter how strong, people tend to overlook the physical types so although you'd be standing out, it would not be as dangerous as standing out for your other abilities."

Harry nodded and thought it was definitely worth considering. His Immortal Dragon Chi and his Dragon Path were both things he had not been devoting enough time to practice even though their potential was in fact just as high as magic itself.

"Next, you can claim minor energy manipulation with a specialization in setting energy into objects. In other words an enchanter type power. This would be the most difficult as you would have to hide all your other abilities, but it would also allow you to continue your research and practice into relic creation."

Harry did want to continue his crafting and although he could continue solo, what he really wanted was a genius or two to bounce ideas off. There were likely a lot of things he was over looking just because he was looking at too large a picture and a new perspective could do wonders.

"And finally, you can claim your inventory and the abilities that come with it as your mutation. This would allow you to continue accumulating knowledge and give you the most versatility overall."

Harry said, "Isn't my inventory the most dangerous ability to show off?" Other things were basically power ups but an infinite, timeless inventory he could perfectly analyse anything contained within was a game changer at another level. If someone had some super secret data on a password encrypted hard-drive, Harry could place it in his inventory and directly read the very code off the drive, encrypted or not. If the encryption wasn't strong enough, he could learn the contents through guesswork. That however was not the scary part. Most computers had means to determine if someone has tried to access them. Those means wouldn't work against Harry's inventory. And that was just the advanced application. Undetectable smuggling of any size, the ability to steal anything from anywhere and get away with it, preservation and transportation of unstable limited shelf life products, and a hundred other things.

The Ancient One said, "Only if its full abilities were displayed. For example you can tell others you can only store things for a limited time or that you can only store up to a limited weight. You could claim to only be capable of storing pure and simple items or claim that the more complex something is, the less time it can be stored."

Harry realized the Ancient One had likely spent a long time thinking this over. He said, "Give me some time to think about it."

Harry headed over to a station of set up computers for Kamar-Taj and searched for info on Xavier's Institute. The search itself brought up far more on the man himself than his institute and his past work. First and foremost he was a Doctor. And unlike a certain honorary Doctor, Xavier had in fact written and published four dissertations that were reviewed and accepted by his peers with one of them being, 'Human Genetics and Mutation.' Harry had to hold back a laugh at that because this man was almost as subtle as Harry himself who just wrote a website on Magic 101 and signed his name at the bottom. Thankfully there were more Harry Potters in the world than there were Charles Xaviers so he could hide in plain sight as long he didn't openly admit to anything.

After doing his initial search, he started a deeper one. Although Harry hadn't figured out technopathy yet, he was still a hacker using an advanced computer he built using magic so there wasn't much he couldn't get if needed. The problem wasn't accessing it, the problem was making sure the places he accessed it from didn't track it back to him. That problem however was solved with a box that worked off quantum entanglement he called the remote hack box. He replicated the effect of quantum entanglement using magic and any information in one box would show in the other regardless of distance and in real time. This meant he could place the box in a New York Library and plug it into the phone line. When he was done hacking, a portkey within the box would trigger to teleport it to a set location where he could retrieve it later.

Harry still wasn't able to get much without drawing too much attention that someone was even looking, but he was able to get some info about the X-Men. From what Harry could tell, they were similar to Aurors for the Wizarding World. They were led by Xavier and dispatched during conflicts to mediate or deal with issues caused by mutants as quietly as possible in order to prevent the public opinion on mutants from taking a nosedive and to help others in general.

According to some records in Kamar-Taj, mutants have been around for thousands of years if not longer. What was interesting was that there were periods where mutant births peaked and periods where almost no mutants were born at all. However those times when mutants peaked always seemed to be followed by danger for the world itself. There was one record he found that showed a large period of mutant birth during the time of ancient Egypt and the records also showed some alien bug like swarm attempted an invasion during that period which was defeated by the power of the mutants during those times. Had those mutants not been born, Harry couldn't see any reasonable way for the people of the time to hold back an alien invasion, much less actually defeat it.

Harry wondered if he should make another website but decided against it for now. Unlike magic, mutants were an issue with a high level of exposure and he wasn't ready to show his name off to the world just yet. The magic website was to provide a base layer that could be built on by the world over time. People fear what they don't understand but if they think they know about it or at least know they have access to information about it they are less likely to do stupid things regarding it. Since Harry knew about technology, he knew that the Wizarding world would not stay hidden forever. The website was the first step in a long term assimilation plan. One day in the future the concept of magic will become commonplace and at that time, when the world discovers the hidden Wizarding world, Harry doubted it would even make front page news.

When he went back to the files on the X-Men, what stood out most was the so-called code names. Storm, Wolverine, Beast, Colossus, Angel. Everyone had a code name, even Xavier was called Professor X. None of the files had descriptions and even though Charles' file was the largest, they weren't even sure he was a confirmed mutant.

While considering the code names, Harry thought back to the options the Ancient One gave him. If he went the first path, he'd likely be called Dragon or something. The second path would probably make people call him Enchanter which of course shot the idea down completely. As for the last option, what would they call him? Backpack? Storage? Inventory? Not exactly the best power to be named after.

Of course Harry had more than just those options. The Ancient One was brilliant but her imagination was not as colorful as Harry's. The main problem with his inventory wasn't the ability to place things in but the ability to take them out. If lying was an option, he could just tell people he can't take out or place certain things into his inventory. Maybe something like he could only place things that were natural or something. In that sense, he could combine the Ancient One's ideas if he claimed adding certain things to his inventory granted him certain capabilities.

Maybe something like this: Harry Potter, mutant power, Assimilation. Can absorb and temporarily gain the attributes of things he has absorbed to increase his strength and durability, and maybe other things. He could claim different abilities depending on the different things he 'absorbed.' In that case, for all the things he could do, he'd probably be called Swiss Army Man.

For some reason, that term made him shudder as if he was recalling a particularly traumatic memory he wanted to forget. Ok, no Swiss Army Man.

With this description, he could even claim if he absorbed certain things, he could heal which would explain his healing if injured.

And as long as people thought his powers were limited by what he 'absorbed,' and could only be used if he 'absorbed' something, he could catch them off guard if they tried to take advantage of his 'weakness.'

Harry returned to the Ancient One and told her his idea. She approved of the premise and added in her own thoughts. They decided that Harry's limit was that he could only absorb food, books, and pure metals. Absorbed food would grant Harry the ability to heal and absorbed pure metals would increase his strength, durability, and speed. Books he absorbed would have their knowledge accessible for a few days and forgotten if not gone over repeated. They decided for now at least, to completely hold back on revealing his magic, psonics, or anything else.

Harry spent the next few months preparing for the next part of his life. He sent a letter to Hermione that he was going to finish high school in New York and she sent back that he should get a cell phone and give her his number. She already had one and used what she learned from Harry to make it work around magic so she could keep in contact with her family while in school. Harry didn't have a cell phone because, one, he didn't need it as no one he kept in contact with until now had one. Two, he could teleport so if he wanted to speak with someone he could just do it face to face. And three, Apparition would still fry a cellphone since the magic resistance only renders it safe from ambient magic. Hermione didn't know that as she wouldn't be learning Apparition for a few more years.

He thought of just getting one when he arrived but that meant calling or receiving calls from Hermione would be an international charge, so figured he'd just place a remote hack box at his London house, plug a phone line into it, and plug a phone wherever he was at into a paired one and use that. If he set up a phone number there, she'd be able to call it and it would redirect it to where he set up the other one. Was using high end physics and advanced quantum magic to get around long distance charges excessive? Naw.

Harry also informed the Goblins he was moving overseas and asked them to expand their joint business interests in the New York area. The main Gringotts branch in the United States was in Boston but there was a sub branch in New York they could use a few means to take over and spread out from. Most businesses were basically using money to make more money and the fact that Harry had metric tons of gold for capital and was willing to invest slowly meant his coffers were usually increasing rather than decreasing.

The Goblins asked if his move to New York would be permanent and Harry decided it might as well be. He would likely be making more friends in New York than he had in Britain and since there was a New York Sanctum Sanctorum Harry could use if needed, it was about as good a place to settle down as he was going to find. Besides, Snowy Owls were not uncommon that far north so he could fly around almost whenever he wanted.

They used their contacts to arrange for his muggle identity to get U.S. citizenship and set all the papers and files in motion. Harry had visited Gringotts two or three times a year for the last three years to update their computers and make sure they knew how to use the latest systems. Thanks to that, the Goblins of Gringotts were already some of the wealthiest Goblins in the world and they made no effort to hide that fact from other Goblins.

It wouldn't be much longer until P&G, Bank and Trust made its move to enter the larger world of business, but for now, they were still waiting. A foundation was not something that could be rushed. Rather than devote all their funds to a single field, they had been testing the waters and getting familiar with the various markets and how well they could be done using Goblin and Wizard magic.

The only pain in the butt was that since he was using his actual identity to run the company, he had to do the taxes in his name so people could indirectly find him if they put a lot of effort into it, though the best he'd let them do was find an untraceable phone number and P.O. Box for his mail. And since he was doing it the legal way, Britain would be heavily taxing the funds he transferred across the Atlantic and the US would then tax him every year for all the funds he possessed. However these were required if he wanted to set himself up legitimately in the future so he gritted his teeth and crossed his Ts and dotted his Is while signing all the paperwork the Goblins sent him with a Portkey Box he set up.

On the magic side of things during the final months, Harry decided to fully merge his other forms of magic directly into his Exotic energy. Doing so would make them harder to use, but would render them invisible. Although those who could sense energy were very few and far between, he still didn't want to head into the larger world with a giant, traceable energy signature. In addition to that, Harry didn't bother sleeping outside of the need to recharge for several months and was able to use his training during that time to add the energies of Ickthalon's and Balthakk's realm to his Heart Palace and fuse them with Exotic energy as well. Ickthalon's realm contained endless ice and cold energy and Balthakk's contained heat and light energy. The only energies he lacked compared to the spell repertoire of a standard master was Morpheus' dream energy, Faltine's mystic flames, and Farallah's hunter energy. Of course the other masters had to call out the names of the Lords of those realms to use all those types of energy for magic. Harry didn't.

The Mystic Flames of the Faltine was actually one of the strongest spells a Sorcerer could cast but it was nearly impossible to use the energy without invoking the name of the Faltines. That was because they were god-like existences of pure energy who were synchronized to the energy their realm contained and didn't like thieves. Harry didn't want to use any invocation magic and since his Phoenix Flames were just above the Faltine's flames, he decided to skip them. He also realized at some point he'd likely never be able to get any Dream energy from Morpheus' realm since he didn't like people visiting unless they were asleep and Harry didn't dream so he couldn't use Battle meditation on his energy to gather enough to set and tune through his Heart Palace. Farallah's energy was unique in that it was used to cast hunting, tracking, and trapping spells, but the energy level was very high, in the level 240+ range and Harry wasn't going to try and use it for Battle Mediation anytime soon.

And lastly, Harry had also been advancing his Wizard Magic. It seemed parts of his subconscious that had gone over the Darkhold and the nature of Chaos energy had decided he should put more of himself into his magic. One of the main differences between the Chaos energy Harry sensed from Chthon and his own was uniformity. Chaos energy was, unsurprisingly, Chaotic and nonuniform. Wizard energy however had properties that matched the Wizard who cast it so the more of himself he put into his magic, the more controllable it would become.

One reason Harry could never cast the unforgivables was because it required something he just didn't have. In order to cast the Killing Curse, one had to truly hate something and want it dead. Harry couldn't even hate Voldemort or the monsters he'd learned about in the world of business enough to want them dead. In order to cast the Imperius Curse or the Cruciatus Curse one had to truly want someone to suffer or truly want to control someone. Harry certainly enjoyed pranking, but his pranks were more geared towards allowing others who deserved it to make themselves suffer. And Harry didn't mind directing people as a teacher, but that was only after giving options. Directly controlling or only allowing someone to travel a path he decided for them was something he could never do.

Harry likely couldn't build enough emotion to cast those if he tried. The negative emotion suppression of his ability would hamper it. And even when that suppression wasn't there like when he faced Chthon, he still didn't think he could feel them. Anger was easy. Anger is natural. Hatred however was not something he could do. Harry didn't even hate Chthon or Voldemort. Harry didn't agree with them but they had their reasons for what they did, even if the reasons of the latter were stupid and the reasons of the former selfish.

Rather than make his magic more chaotic, he was making it more controllable using hints his subconscious figured out from reading the Darkhold. He was hoping this would eventually allow him to lesson the destructive nature of his Exotic energy against things like electronics and computers.

Before leaving, Harry said goodbye to the masters who trained him and told them he was going to complete his schooling in New York and they could call if they needed anything. None of them knew Harry's strength matched their own when they were using Invocation magic so they didn't feel anything was wrong with a child finishing his education. They did little more than wish him well as most were men of few words save Wong who told him to continue his studies and Mordo who told him to return when he was eighteen so they could make sure he hadn't gotten rusty.

The Ancient One was given a cell phone with Harry's number so there wasn't a need to say goodbye and after packing up and returning his monk's robes he headed for the London Sanctum. He had already arranged with the Ancient One for a new Wizard Section of the Library to be added in two months so they would not connect it to him and they would be provided the means and coins needed to enter and use the resources of the Wizard world as they wished. He also hoped one of the younger acolytes he showed the website too would take up the duties of monitoring the forum so they could use it to find evidence of threats to the realm sooner than before.

Next he visited Mr. and Ms. Black and their daughter, his goddaughter, Virgo Amelia Black. Being named after a constellation and a goddess of justice was appropriate considering her parents and also taking her parents and godfather into consideration there was a distinct possibility she may in fact die a virgin, the other meaning of her name. The Lord of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and the former head of the DMLE staring down any would be boyfriends would see to that.

Harry had long since met Remus Lupin but as he was already an independent, pseudo adult, there wasn't much room for him in his life so they were simply acquaintances. When thinking about Remus, a piece of knowledge from the Darkhold appeared in his mind. His parents had of course told him about their friend's furry little problem and it turns out the Darkhold was responsible for the creation of both werewolves and vampires. However the means to permanently cure them that was contained within the Darkhold was a trap. It seemed Harry's subconscious had cross-referenced the details of the purification ritual from the Darkhold with cleansing rituals from the Book of Vishanti and found that the former rituals were completely lacking in safety and warning messages. There were too many ways it could go wrong and Harry doubted there was a way to perfectly use the ritual. Perhaps it would be useful for reference when finding an actual cure, but the Darkhold was not going to directly help solve a problem it caused. That was like studying a match to figure out how to stop a raging forest fire. A majority of the nice things inside the Darkhold were either traps or temptations to draw the reader deeper into the Darkhold to corrupt them to doing something terrible later.

Harry visited a few locations in London with an ID card to personally turn in some papers and sign some forms for his immigration to the U.S. He'd buy a ticket to the U.S. when finished so there was a physical trail people could follow if they decided to look that proved Harry Potter went to New York by airplane. Harry now knew a thing or two about tracking people so he wanted to make sure those looking at him didn't see anything that far out of the ordinary.

The following day, Harry took a plane to New York. The plane wouldn't be comfortable for Goose so he'd use magic to get his Flerken later after suffering the ten hour flight by himself. Harry wondered how much trouble he could get himself in living in New York. For some reason this thought brought a smile to his face.
