6 The first heist

A/n: this is just here to remind people that I can't reply to comments that have any form of cuss words in them.

———————————

-Harry pov 14 hours till the heist—

I woke early to start my day, the bright rays from the sun illuminated the view of the bleak room I'm crashing in, I could pay for a bigger room I am filthy rich but I don't like spending more money than I have to.

The heist will be today, today will be the day I stake my claim to the world not as the boy who lives but as Harry Potter the criminal.

I have planned methodically for this to work, I just need to set it up.

"Dobby," I spoke

*pop*

"Master harry sir!" he said excitedly

"Hey dobby I need you to go to muggle London, I want you to get the things on this list you can't be seen okay so just do it sneakily," I said

"Yes, harry potter sir Dobby will do it sneakily." Dobby said before popping off

I'm not worried about him getting caught by anyone because he is super good at being unseen. And another reason is that he told me every time a house-elf goes out in the muggle world for some reason no one pays attention to them. It's almost like only Wizards and Witches can see them. I don't know why though.

I started casting Finite Incantatem on a piece of wood I disillusioned, I figured both spells can be quite handy, especially the Disillusionment Charm, since I got locked in Azkaban my cloak is hidden away in a separate trunk no one knows about. Harry put it there when his friends turned their backs on him. So now I'm stuck with the Disillusionment charm, I mean I guess I could ask Dobby to go grab it yeah I'm going to do that once he gets back.

*pop*

"Dobby be back sir!" Dobby said excitedly

"Good job Dobby, did anyone see you?" I asked mainly to let him brag about his stealth skills

"No Dobby was like a ninja!" He exclaimed

"Haha good like a ninja indeed, I'm going to need you to be like a ninja once more. The mission is to infiltrate Hogwarts and steal the trunk located in the kitchens, it has a small Hufflepuff insignia in the bottom corner." I said in a hushed voice like what I was telling him was a secret mission

"Ah yes I will retrieve the package sir," he whispered back and left with a *pop*

--10 hours till heist--

I was ready to leave my temporary room arrangements, now I was just waiting for Dobby, today I finally get to feel the rush I long for, the painting I have desired and the havoc I will thrust upon the wizarding world. I do not plan to hide my face nor do I plan to cower away.

*pop*

"Dobby has brought the secret trunk sir!" Dobby exclaimed with glee

"Good job agent Dobby you may take leave," I replied

"Yes super secret agent boss sir!" Dobby replied readily

I think old Harry and I corrupted him, after all, everyone likes secret agents. Opening the trunk I saw my invisibility cloak and the photo album of my parents they weren't really my parents but Lily seemed nice from what I've heard. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for James he sounded like an asshole.

Taking out the contents of the muggle items I asked Dobby for I began to build something necessary for the heist.

Once done I Packed up all of my stuff then I used a spell I learned from the Potter family tomes, it was created by James Potter and I'm pretty sure he used it for pranks but my use is what it should be for.

"Vestigia falsa!" I chanted casting the spell, the room didn't seem to change but it did on a more magical level, the spell is used to leave false tracks and evidence perfect for leaving rooms and crime scenes.

Leaving the building I started walking toward the cafe I have been frequenting. Sitting down I enjoyed my coffee for a while then I got up and walked out.

I then decided to stroll toward the shopping areas.

-five hours until the heist -

Five hours until my plan starts, five hours until I get my hands on that beautiful painting. I have been walking around aimlessly, well as aimless as a thief could be.

--30 minutes till the heist/Narrator pov-

Night struck Place Cachée, the guards of the French art museum were alert, every so often a fool tries to steal some art and they always get caught.

The sound of very few people walking through the district was heard, Place Cachée was quiet, too quiet.

"Hey man I feel sleepy," one guard said

"Same here, what's wrong with us?" the other asked

Guard one seemed to realize what was happening but it was too late, both guards slowly collapsed.

Before anyone could notice something was wrong a figure appeared and floated them into the air and placed them in a trunk.

*BOOOM!*

*BOOM!*

Two loud sounds of explosions filled the air, echoing across the French shopping district.

Immediately Harry got to work and started to break the wards, one by one they fell like dominoes, he quickly made his way to the painting, a guard rushing outside saw him and tried to fire a spell off but it was too late, Harry flicked his wand with precision sending the stupefy charm through the air striking the guard square in his chest.

"Argh." the guard grunted collapsing on the ground

Harry sped up and soon made it to where the painting was, it was beautiful the magic flowing through it made this painting look alive.

Harry quickly started to take the wards apart surrounding the painting. Once they were gone he worked on the protection charms placed on the frame since they couldn't place them on the delicate painting itself.

Seeing that they were all broken, he took out a magic camera snapped a selfie with the painting, he put the painting in his inventory then stuck the photo on the wall. After that, he Apparated out of the museum since he already destroyed the anti-apparition wards.

*pop*

As soon as he popped away several French Aurors stormed the museum.

Soon they found the guard and then Harry's selfie.

"Huh is that Harry Potter?" one said to another Auror

"Harry potter just robbed a museum?" The other replied

"FIND HIM!" the head Auror yelled in fury

-- flashback---

'Taking out the contents of the muggle items I asked Dobby for I began to build something necessary for the heist.' Harry narrated in his mind

What Harry asked Dobby to get was naphthalene, palmitate, and gasoline. When put together Napalm is made. He knew how to make this because he used it in his previous life and learned how to make the dangerous gel. Napalm is a weaponized flammable gel that can cause a great explosion.

After making it he cast the false tracking spell and left for the cafe, once inside the cafe Harry took out the crushed-up melatonin and other sleeping agents. *ring* just like clockwork a handsome man walked in and began flirting with the owner. While they were distracted Harry slipped on the invisibility cloak and made his way over behind the counter, he then slipped the drugs into the various ground-up coffee bean pots. He knows the night guards show up at this cafe before every shift and always order coffee, seems like others will have to suffer from the sleeping drugs as well though.

After leaving the shop Harry walked to the shopping district to look around and spotted his two targets, two shops that are empty and looking for buyers, two shops that have no one in them at any time therefore he won't be killing any innocent people when the shops explode.

Using the muffling charm to make his footsteps quiet he snuck into his cloak and planted some napalm in each building with two wards around them. Each set for a timer and once there are two minutes left until the time runs out a match will light, using that to his advantage harry wrapped a rope around the match coated with gasoline, the gasoline will then light and travel to the napalm blowing the shop to pieces.

All of this combined made the perfect first heist.

-- Present time mc pov --

After apparating away I walked into a pub and got to drinking, I sat there listening to the rumors flying around a bit before asking the owner for a room. Once inside I called Dobby.

"Let's go back to Potter manor," I said with a small smile

"Of course sir harry sir!" Dobby said with glee taking me by the hand and popping us away *pop*

I'm glad Dobby can apparate in and out of France now, he originally couldn't because the distance was far and the only way he can travel that far is if he has an anchor there. For example, he could Apparate to me because I am his master and we share a magical bond. The same thing as when I was in Azkaban he could feel my magic and therefore Apparate to me without needing the bond, it just makes it easier well that's what Dobby said.

Once in the manor, I hung the painting on my wall, it was beautiful, bright, and truly magical. Taking out a piece of metal I made it into a plaque then I transfigured the words 'planète des amoureux' onto it and then put it just under the painting.

Today was well magical I can't wait to see the chaos.

-end--

A/N: what do you think if the way I wrote the heist, I wanted to keep the readers in the dark when harry was doing things then show the heist to have a surprise factor. also, the coffee thing I mentioned with the sleeping drugs is real I know someone who has a separate coffee bean ground jar with melatonin mixed in to make them fall asleep. Beats me why they just don't take the tonin but hey 🤷🏼‍♂️
