Quest for a Cure

"We're still a couple years away from that kiddo and first we need to rid you of the horcrux."

"I know, but I just want everyone here to understand I will survive this and I take the Potter motto "A meloir universitas per probitas charisma quod strength" very seriously." Harry stated. [A better world through honesty, caring and stregnth]

All of the adults except Sirius felt a sense of curiosity at how this young boy had come to have such a strong and mature mindset. Especially when most of them had observed him playing like a child with other children in recent days. The rest of the meeting was more quiet and thoughtful.

Amelia decided and the others agreed that they should make quiet unobtrusive inquiries into any potential skeletons Albus may have hidden, seek out allies in other families, and see if the could find out anything about Voldemort's origins, and Remus would secure a solicitor for the Potter and Black Families. The group was mostly quiet as they ate lunch, and after lunch they met up with Beth and the girls. Beth and Sirius took Harry to school and then their guests to Dulles International for their portkeys home.

Wednesday of the following week, Ronda collected Sirius and Beth to take them to see the architects house, the new owner didn't allow any showings until it cleared probate. On walking up they liked it, they went in it was a large house with only partly furnished rooms but it had a homey country air not an air of self aggrandizement. It had lots of windows, and every modern convenience. Solar, wind and a geothermal heating system meant that the utilities would be low.

It had the latest and greatest wiring for a security system and an internal entertainment system. There was a large glassed in sunroom/conservatory that even had a large built in swimming pool with two small attached pools one a hot tub, the other an everflow pool. There was an exercise room with a gym, treadmill, and exercise bike and an area for aerobics that included a built in TV cabinet. The large two story family room that included a climbing wall, it was obvious the architect had believed in physical fitness.

The kitchen was a chef's dream, spacious and well organized and even had a small home office area and a breakfast nook. There was a formal dining room large enough for twenty people and a formal living room. There were eight bedrooms not counting the Master two of which had en suites. The other six all had a bathroom shared between two.

There was a study that connected to a library that shared an intricate wood inlay floor and through out the house there were small but luxurious touches: each segment of the house had different style ceilings, the foyer had an inset marble floor and the two half baths were roomy. Beth loved the view from the deck and appreciated the privacy that the twenty five acre lot afford would them. She looked at Sirius, "What do you think?"

"It's a little farther out than you wanted but I like it. How much is the owner asking?"

"He's asking five and three quarters million that includes all the current appliances and furniture." Ronda answered.

"We'll meet his price if he pays the commission and the closing costs, and he closes by early next week."

"I'll let his agent know. Are you sure you want to meet his price?"

"If he closes when we want. John comes back a week from Friday and we need a place before then. If he wants to wait we'll reduce our offer a percent a week. That should encourage him."

Winry Rockbell wanted to swear a blue streak. In the seven weeks since Sirius and Beth had asked her help to find a medi-witch or wizard for Harry she had spent a couple hours a day going through records looking for someone that had the right mix of knowledge. She had talked to everyone she went to healing school with. She had talked to her old professors and it felt like she had talked to everyone that was anyone in the field and she had still come up empty.

She supposed that was a reflection of the fact there hadn't been a dark lord in the U.S., since John Wilkes Booth. Most witches and wizard understanding the freedoms come much more easily when you are merely an eccentric law abiding citizen rather than a troublemaker from the muggle point of view.

She sat drinking her coffee in the cafeteria of the WIS building and trying to think of what to do next when Morgana O'Shanahan came up to her. Morgana worked in the inexplicable department. No one at WIS liked her. She was tolerated, barely, but given that she was 175 years old and a seer she was one of those people with a high freak out factor.

"You must bring the boy to see me, I can not see clearly what is needed because I haven't felt his aura. To find what is needed I must see him. I must see the eagle enshrouded by the dark. You will not find it without my help. Bring him to me!"

Winry gulped the timing was to much, "Do you mean Harry?"

"I will direct the path after I have seen the boy, not before!"
