Chapter Two
“Nice room.” Draco said as the three boys entered into the suite that had been assigned to Harry.
The premier suite had been booked for Harry to use during his stay but it would mostly be used as their base of operations, being the bigger room it allowed for them to set up all the equipment that they would need. It helped that the room came with its own kitchenette, they wouldn’t need to leave the room too often.
“I’ll go and do some shopping in a little while, you guys can set up the equipment and while I’m out I’ll see if I can pick up on anything with the MPS.” Harry said as he put his recently transfigured trunk on the floor.
“I’m going to call Ginny to let her know we got here okay, I’ll also give her the hotel number in case she can’t get through to my mobile.” Draco said as he pulled his mobile out of his pocket.
“I’ll start setting up the laptops. Does this room come with Wi-Fi?” Blaise asked.
“Yeah it does, that piece of paper on the desk should have the log in details.” Harry told him as he walked over to the fridge to grab a drink.
“We’ll have to put a charm on all this stuff for when housekeeping come around to tidy the room up.” Harry said as he pulled out the files he got from Auror Walsh.
Once Harry had placed the reports onto the table that Blaise was setting the laptops up on, he grabbed his jacket and after placing his room key into his wallet he left the room. It took him a good ten minutes to exit the building, once he was standing out on the street a thought occurred to him. He had absolutely no bloody idea where he was going.
“Well that sucks.” Harry stated as he closed his eyes for a minute and mentally picked a direction.
Opening his eyes, Harry turned right and started heading down the block. Hopefully his aimless wandering would either turn up a shop or reveal something on the MPS that he had stashed in his jacket pocket. He walked until he got to the end of the block and looked up at the street sign, it read Vanderbilt Avenue. He really should have gotten a map or at least asked for directions before leaving the hotel.
Harry was about to cross the street to continue along the street when the MPS in his pocket started to beep, pulling it out of his pocket he was glad it was disguised as a muggle mp3 player. Once he unlocked the screen, Harry noticed the indicator was pointing to the right, looks like that was the way he was going. The further he walked the stronger the signal got, it was leading him around the block but it seemed to be coming from above him. Just as he was trying to figure out a way to get to where the signature was strongest, it all of a sudden cut out. Whoever the signature had come from they must have apparated out, without actually seeing who the signature was coming from Harry wasn’t able to determine if it was one of the people he was after or if it was just a resident of the city.
Giving a frustrated sigh, Harry shoved the MPS back into his pocket and continued along the street. He had come close to doing a full circuit of the block when he noticed a sign saying Grand Central Market, looks like he finally found a shop to buy food for the room. Within half an hour he was done and headed back to the hotel, just as he got to the entrance for the lobby Harry felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise. Stopping mid step, he turned around and looked along the street, he knew someone was watching him and considering his team’s arrival was meant to be a secret it was a little off putting that someone was watching his every move. He could feel the MPS buzzing away in his pocket but with how packed the street was he very highly doubted he would find who it was.
He was about to take a step forward when someone bumped into him, as he scrambled to catch his grocery bags, before the contents made friends with the pavement, the MPS in his pocket went silent. Seems whoever was watching him decided to leave before he spotted them.
“I’m so sorry, I guess I need to pay more attention to where I’m going.” The man who bumped Harry said as he helped the wizard stable his grocery bags.
“It’s okay, I wasn’t really paying attention either.” Harry replied as he looked up at the other man.
‘Damn, they really know how to make them in America.’ Harry thought as he caught site of the other man. ‘Blonde hair, blue eyes and damn were those muscles hot. That shirt is just begging to tear.’
“Sorry, I didn’t hit you too hard did I?” The man asked as he noticed Harry zone out.
“What? Oh, no sorry. My mind is elsewhere at the moment.” Harry said. ‘Yeah, in the gutter.’ His mind supplied.
“Do you need help with those bags.” Mr. Sexy asked.
“Nah, I’m all good. I’m staying here at the Grand Hyatt so I’m all set.” Harry replied with a hundred-watt smile.
“Okay, well I have to go. Maybe I’ll see you around sometime.” With a wave goodbye the man continued off down the street.
“Damn, I really hope I do see you around.” Harry mumbled as he turned and entered into the Hotel’s lobby.

“Gin was sleeping so I left the Hotel number with Molly.” Draco said as he walked back into Harry’s suite.
“What’s the bet that Harry has gotten himself lost?” Blaise asked as he looked up from the file he was reading through.
“It’s Harry’s Law, anything that can happen will happen to Harry.” Draco said as he sat down at the table.
“That’s the understatement of the century.” Blaise replied.
“Anyway, what have you got so far?” Draco asked as he started up his laptop.
“I’ve managed to pinpoint one of their locations in the city, some place called Hell’s Kitchen. Who comes up with these names?” Blaise asked as he looked at the map of said part of the city.
“I don’t know. How solid is this lead?” Draco asked.
“Several muggle witnesses and one group of Auror’s.” Blaise replied as he read the notes pertaining to that particular piece of information.
“There has been sightings of several crates being moved into the warehouse, the activity in the area has increased in the last month.” Draco read from the report.
“Guess what else I found out?” Blaise asked the blonde.
“What?”
“Did you see that big ass building behind the train station?” Blaise asked as he looked up from his computer screen.
“That big ugly thing with the letter A on it?” Draco asked for clarification.
“Yep. Apparently that tower is known as Avengers Tower.”
“Harry is not going to be happy with that.” Draco said.
“I’m not going to be happy with what?” Said wizard asked as he entered the hotel room with the shopping.
“The fact that the American ministry has put us smack dab in the middle of Avengers territory.” Blaise said.
“What? What do you mean Avengers territory?” Harry asked as he stopped pulling items from the brown bag in front of him.
“That big tower with the letter A on it is Avengers Tower.” Draco explained.
“Great, how are we supposed to stay under S.H.I.E.L.D’s radar if we are staying in a hotel on the same block as the Avengers?”
“I think the people we are after know we are here.” Harry told the other two.
“Why is that?” Blaise asked, his full attention on Harry.
“I picked up a magical signature with the MPS not long after leaving the hotel. It led me on a merry little jaunt around the block before vanishing, it then reappeared just as I was about to enter the hotel. I looked around but the street was pretty crowded and with how much of their work is in the muggle world they have managed to blend in rather well.” Harry explained.
“That is a problem, if they know we are here then our movements about the city may be monitored.” Blaise said.
“Not necessarily, perhaps it is not us they are here for. With the Avengers headquarters being on the same block as our hotel perhaps it is them they are keeping an eye on.” Draco added in.
“Hmm, Blaise can you pull up a photo of these Avengers?” Harry asked as he walked over to the table.
“Yeah, just let me find some.” Blaise said as he typed away at the keyboard.
Not matter what Blaise typed in he always came back to a page that just showed pictures of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.
“This is a problem; I can’t find anything other than this page.” Blaise told Harry.
“Okay, Blaise, move aside. Time for me to have some fun.” Harry said as he walked over to his trunk.
Harry unlocked his trunk and sorted through it before finding a metal case about thirty centimetre squared in diameter. He placed the box on the table and punched in the code to open it, inside was something he had been working on for the last year and a half. He had discovered his love for all things electronic once muggle tech had been introduced, that was one of the main reasons Hermione got his team to try out the new things her department created. One of the Muggleborns, who had a unique obsession with movies from the eighties and nineties, had helped Harry to design a more modern form of the old style phreak boxes used by hackers. With magic as the main power supply and no other way for muggle authorities to track it, Harry was able to hack into any computer and access any information no matter how advanced the system he was hacking was. He had yet to use it on a system created by someone like Tony Stark but it seemed like a good a time as any to try it out.
“Time to test this out on a more advanced computer system.” He said as he connected it to his laptop.
“What is that?” Draco asked as he took the seat next to Harry.
“It’s something I’ve been working on for a while now, I’ve used it a couple of times over the last couple months but this will be the first time that I use it on such an advanced system.” Harry explained as he opened the program attached to the device.
With the device attached to the laptop it took Harry a total of five minutes before he broke through all the firewalls and gained access to the system that ran Avengers Tower. The system kept trying to block him out but Harry was able to get around it every time. Eventually he found the file he was looking for, it had information on every member of the Avengers.
“I’m in.”
“What does it say?” Draco asked as he moved closer to Harry.
“It’s got all the details of each member, Tony Stark was an easy one considering he doesn’t know how to keep mum on anything.” Harry said.
“Wow, okay maybe that is why I picked up that signature.”
“What do you mean?” Blaise asked.
“Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. He’s the guy that bumped into me outside the hotel, this is not good. If the wizards we’re after were following an Avenger and saw me, that is going to cause a lot of trouble.” Harry explained, his eyes glued to the picture on the screen. The picture didn’t do him justice.
“Let’s just hope that they didn’t get a good enough look at you.” Draco said as he rose from his seat to get a drink.
“If the wizards are keeping an eye on the Avengers then we may be able to keep an eye on them. Is there a way to record a magical signature in that device that Hermione gave you?” Blaise asked as he started typing on his laptop, he needed to create a new file for this.
“Yeah, it records any magical signature it picks up. The two it picked up today were two different signatures but considering they were from the same area I’m going to guess that they were here for the same reason. Too much of a coincidence for them to be around this area and not have anything to do with the Avengers.” Harry explained as he went through the MPS recordings.
“Can you upload that to the computer?” Blaise asked.
“I have no idea.” Harry replied, he hadn’t exactly read the instruction manual that Hermione had supplied with it when she had given the MPS to him.
“What did Hermione say when she gave it to you?” Draco asked.
“She gave me an instruction manual.” Harry said.
“And did you read the instruction manual?” Blaise asked, even though he already knew the answer.
“I may have skimmed it.” Harry said as he looked up from the MPS in his hands.
“In other words you took the book, put it in your bag and completely forgot about it.” Draco declared succinctly.
“Okay so I completely ignored the instruction manual. Have you ever read an instruction manual written by Hermione, it’s like a bloody novel?” Harry asked.
“Be that as it may, go and get the manual so we can see if the MPS can be connected to the computer.” Blaise told the other man.
With a heavy sigh, Harry got up from his seat and headed to his trunk, he rummaged around in it for a bit before finally finding what he was looking for. It was a good inch thick, Hermione sure knew how to be long winded and make things very well drawn out. With the book in hand he headed back to the table and sat down in his chair before opening to the index page, upon finding the page he needed he thumbed through the book till he found the chapter dealing with connecting the MPS to the computer.
“Okay, it has a wireless connection. Hermione has installed the app for it on my computer already, if I’m reading this little side note correctly. Apparently I’m very predictive and she installed the software knowing that I wouldn’t read the whole book.”
“You are predictive.” Draco mumbled.
“Bite me.”
“Okay, just connect it to the computer so we can log the magical signatures that you picked up.” Blaise interrupted, Draco and Harry may be friends now but they did have a habit of resorting back to their attitudes they had during their earlier years at Hogwarts.
With any further arguments prevented, all three wizards set about their individual tasks. Draco compiled a list of known or suspected locations that the group they were after were using, Blaise focused on finding out as much as he could on the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D thanks to Harry’s little hacking buddy, while Harry worked on the magical signatures that he had picked up.
Once they were focused on a task they worked efficiently towards their goal, one of the many reasons that Kingsley assigned them most of the higher level missions. If the group of wizards that they were after were indeed keeping tabs on the Avengers, then the safe bet was that they were after something that the Avengers had. Blaise was worried about that because from what he had read so far in the files of the Avengers the possibility of them having something worth stealing was very high. On the other hand, if they were watching Harry outside the hotel then the only way they could have known was through either the British ministry or the American one. Only a few people knew of their presence in America and they wanted it to stay that way.
Blaise had a way of looking at things from a different perspective than other people, Harry believed it had something to do with the dark skinned man being a neutral party during the war. His family wasn’t swayed by either side; Blaise was able to help Draco after the blonde had been hurt by his father, those actions almost swayed him from neutrality. While it was good that they had finally advanced past the middle ages when it came to how they lived, he very highly doubted that the muggles would welcome them into their world without wanting to control them.
New courses had been implemented at Hogwarts, Harry’s lack of knowledge of the wizarding world when he first ended it was cause for Luna to advocate for some changes with the school curriculum. Luna Lovegood was the last person anyone expected to become a teacher, especially with the eccentricities that she displayed on a regular basis. While she did still enjoy looking for creatures that had a questionable existence, she spent most of her time at Hogwarts teaching the Muggleborn students about wizarding customs. It was something that they lacked when they first stepped into Hogwarts, which was proven when a misunderstanding almost caused a fight between a sixth year Muggleborn Ravenclaw boy and a sixth year pureblood Ravenclaw boy.
Since the board of governors had approved the new curriculum that had been proposed, the integration of Muggleborns into wizarding society was higher. Before, they would go back to the muggle world once they had graduated from Hogwarts because they felt that they weren’t welcome in the wizarding world. The introductory course was done during the summer holidays before Hogwarts started, the Muggleborn students would then continue with the course once they started at the school. A lot of parents had greatly approved of the new courses that Hogwarts had implemented, though there were purebloods that had protested the changes. That type of reaction would never stop.
“If these guys are watching the Avengers then my best guess is that they plan on hitting one of Stark’s warehouses.” Draco spoke up.
“Where is the closest one?” Harry asked.
“Somewhere in New Jersey, I haven’t found an address yet.” Draco replied.
“There may be something in these files.” Blaise said as he looked up from his laptop.
“Okay, when you find the address we’ll go and have a look tonight.” Harry told the other two.
“What about that other warehouse you found?” Draco asked Blaise.
“What warehouse?” Harry asked.
“I was going through the files we were given by Walsh’s assistant, I found an address for a warehouse where one of the members has been seen.” Blaise explained.
“We really need to come up with a name for this group, we can’t just keep call them The Group.” Harry said as he looked at the specific piece of parchment that had the details for the warehouse.
“We’ll think of something.” Draco told him.
“Well we might as well go to this one first, at least we know for sure that they have been there as opposed to any of Stark’s warehouses.” Harry told them as he added the address into the GPS on his mobile.
“Well the sun will be setting at about eight thirty tonight and it’s been only a week since the new moon so we will have the darkness on our side. We’d be best of leaving here at about ten, with the amount of CCTV cameras around here we’ll need to be careful about our movements about the city.” Blaise told the other two.
“We won’t need to worry about the cameras, I bought the Interferer with me.” Harry told them.
Hermione had created the interferer three years previous after Harry’s squad had run into a little snag on one of their missions that had led them into muggle London. Thankfully the Prime Minister was able to come to their aide and had the tapes in question erased and the investigation dismissed.
Hermione figured that if they were going to be doing assignments that would lead them into muggle areas that contained the security cameras, then it would be in their best interest, as well as that of the wizarding world, if they had something that would allow them to go unseen. It worked in a similar way as Dumbledore’s Put-Outer only instead of putting out lights it sent out a minor magical wave that sought out any muggle camera in the area and distorted the images. It had worked well so far and Harry figured that they would need it for this mission considering they were in a big city like New York.
“Okay, so we have a plan for tonight. With that out of the way can we please have dinner at the New York Central? It’s the restaurant downstairs, I saw the dinner menu and I want to try it out.” Draco said as he stood from his seat and stretched his back.
“Sure, sounds like a good idea. We’ll have to show ourselves in the muggle world or else we’ll draw unwanted attention to ourselves.” Harry told the blonde.
“Awesome, for now I want to get back to these Avengers files and see if I can find an address for that warehouse.” Blaise told the other two as he sat back down in front of his laptop after grabbing a drink from the fridge.

“Report.”
“I don’t think the Avengers have any clue about us, I followed Captain America around for a while today and listened in at the Tower but didn’t hear anything pertaining to our little operation.”
“Good, we’ll be able to go ahead with our plans on Saturday.”
“There is something else as well.”
“What?”
“I could have sworn that I saw the British Auror, Harry Potter.”
“What?”
“I didn’t get a good enough look but I’m pretty sure it was him. I was following Rogers and saw him bump into someone outside of the Grand Hyatt, after Rogers left I stuck around long enough to see the other man enter the hotel. It could be a coincidence but I think we should look further into it just in case.”
“Send Powell, tell him to keep an eye on the hotel but to also keep an eye on the Tower. And Hayes, make sure he knows what will happen if he gets caught.”
HPAVENGERSHPAVENGERSHP
“What do you see?” Harry asked Draco.
“Still nothing, we’ve been here an hour already and there is still no sign of anyone.” The blonde replied through the Bluetooth ear piece he was wearing.
The three of them had made their way to the warehouse at about ten later that night, the trip had taken them almost an hour because of the MPS going off the closer they got to the Avengers tower. They had ended up spending a good twenty minutes trying to pinpoint the signatures exact location, a feature which the MPS seemed to lack. Harry would have to tell Hermione about that particular flaw because it led to Harry almost tossing the MPS into the middle of the street in his frustration.
When they did finally arrive at their original destination it was eleven o’clock and things were rather quiet. Draco was positioned on the roof of the building across from the one they were watching, while Harry and Blaise were in an empty room closer to the ground floor. The only magical signatures that the MPS was currently picking up were those of the three wizards watching the warehouse across the road.
“This is getting really ridiculous.” Blaise said from his spot in front of the window.
“That guy earlier must have recognised me and alerted the others.”
“Shhh, I think I see someone.” Draco whispered over the communicator.
Almost a full minute passed before the figure Draco saw passed under a street lamp, the person in question was dressed mostly in black and was hard to see without the help of the street light.
`The MPS isn’t going off, must be a muggle.” Harry said as he checked the tracker in his hand.
“What’s the chance of these guys having muggles working for them?” Blaise asked as he peeked through the partially broken window.
“It looks like they’re headed for the warehouse so I’d say that the chances are quite high.” Draco replied as he continued watching the figure.
“I guess having muggles working for them would make their interactions in the muggle world a lot easier. The question is who are they?” Harry said as he looked out the window in time to see the door at the front of the warehouse open up, letting out a faint slither of light.
“There are more people coming down the street.” Draco pointed out from his vantage point.
“Looks like about ten of them so far.” Blaise said as he watched them enter through thro prn door.
“Harry, around that guy’s neck, is that what I think it is?” Draco asked as he watched the light reflect off of a gold medallion around one of the muggles necks.
“If you think it’s one of those medallion’s specifically made for the parents of Muggleborns so they can see beyond the muggle repelling charms we have, then yes it is what you think it is.” Harry replied once he got a good look of the medallion.
Draco’s reply was interrupted by the sound of a truck heading down the street, it pulled into the loading dock to the side of the building and as the driver stepped out the MPS started going off. The man walked to the back of the truck and unlocked the roller door before sliding it up, three other men exited from a side door and started unloading boxes from the back.
“Looks like they’re getting a new shipment.” Blaise said.
“That’s the guy from earlier today, his signature matches the one that is stored in the MPS.” Harry told the other two.
“Well now we know for sure that we have the right place.”
“I wonder what’s in those boxes.” Draco said.
“Draco, if you get a good enough view then get a picture of that guy. We’ll take it into the ministry tomorrow and get Walsh to have a look for him.” Harry told the blonde.
Draco pulled his camera out of his bag and set it up before moving back to his vantage point to get the best shot. Luck was with him at that time because just as he got back into position the man they were watching walked into the light from the warehouses dock. Draco took several pictures before turning the camera off and placing it onto the roof next to him.
“Got them, maybe we should send a copy to Hermione. You know if anything is hard to find it is guaranteed to be found by her, she also has that friend that works in the Auror office here.”
“I’ll call her tomorrow; I’ll need to tell her about our little problem with the MPS.” Harry told him.
They spent another two hours watching the warehouse, during that time two more trucks turned up with more boxes that were unloaded and taken into the warehouse. Draco managed to get quite a few photos of the activity from his spot on the roof while Harry and Blaise continued to keep an eye on the front of the warehouse where several more muggles turned up.
Harry had also managed to collect three more magical signatures, two of which came from the driver and passenger of the third truck. During the removal of boxes from the third truck a box was dropped and they were able to see the contents of at least one of the boxes that were being taken into the warehouse. Draco had managed to get several photos of what appeared to be several boxes of muggle gun ammunition, it was a rather disturbing discovery. The main question was what the hell they were going to use it for.
By the time they got back to the hotel it was half past two, they dumped all the stuff in Harry’s room before Draco and Blaise headed to theirs to get a few hours sleep. The three of them were used to working long hours with little sleep, they had done it several times during other missions.
Harry packed the MPS away in its case and placed it on the bench before heading to his room to get ready for bed. Tomorrow, while Draco and Blaise sorted out the information they gathered from their little expedition that night, Harry planned on paying a little visit to the Avengers tower to have a snoop around. Maybe he might even run into tall, blonde and sexy while he was there. If he asked the right questions to the right people, then he may be able to ascertain if they had any clue as to what was going on with the group they were after. If they were planning on hitting a warehouse owned by Tony Stark, then maybe he would be able to find out some information that he couldn’t find on the servers he had been snooping through earlier that day. He really wanted to get his hands on the system that ran the tower, from what he was able to see, while illegally hacking into it, he was really impressed.
After placing a silencing charm around his bed, New York was really noisy, Harry turned off the bedside lamp and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
