Ethnics All
Published: December 26, 1989
To the Editor:
Jonathan Bush's itemized defense of Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato (''What D'Amato Has Done for New York,'' letter, Dec. 13) was a noble effort on behalf of the embattled Senator. But why did Mr. Bush summarize him as ''an American of ethnic origin''? Aren't we all, the Bush family included, of ethnic origin?
Apparently, some of us are to be considered less (or more) ethnic than others. ROGER A. PURDON Cold Spring Harbor, L.I., Dec. 14, 1989

Hi guys, i have been experiencing this problem for a while..
sometimes firefox/Opera can't open any web site..although the internet is working and other programs like deluge seem to work fine..i 've tried restarting X but it didn't solve the problem.
i even tried to open the local router through firefox/opera still no responde the pages just keep loading until it gives me an error page.
maybe it's becuase i leave programs like deluge open all the time?? is that a problem? does it's effect networking in linux or something!! coz i only can't open web pages other programs that use the internet work fine (Miro , Amarok...etc..)
the problem seem only to go away when i restart the system.

"my son likes it"
my son likes it. He listens to this all the time.. the story is exiting. the story is awesome according to my din.
"Jesse Bernstein ruined this"
ok the story is ok. All plot no story. the problem is Jesse Bernstein as the narrator is bad. half the characters sound like stoners or Randy Savage. go for the book not the audio book.
I love audiobooks. I usually listen while quilting, or just relaxing in the garden. My Great Danes even settle down when they hear a book.
"Fun adventure and laughter"
The series continues and you are drawn it at once. Hold on for a magical ride.
"Titans curse by Rick Riordan"
This is an awesome story and quite a thriller tells an important part of the story
"These books are great for a young audience"
I would have loved these books at a younger age. some of the characters can be a bit cliche.
"Very enjoyable"
Love this series. One of my favourite top 10 children's series with Harry Potter, The Sisters Grimm, Fablehaven......
"don't let me lead a stray the narrator"
did a good job but it's never the same as it is in your head.
"The wrath of the Titans curse is unleashed..."
When Anabeth Chase and the great goddess Artimmis disappears in battle Percy knows he has to get them back, but at what cost?
After traveling to the top of Mt.Tam in San Fran with his friends Thalia grace, Zoe Nightshade, Grover Underwood, and Bianca De Angelo Percy realized the prophecy has come true, two of his friends have died, will he be next?
"My 8 year old loves it!!!"
He will not put this audio down. The voices are exceptional and very identifiable. I loved the story and performance

New Crescent Elementary School Principal
Submitted: 07/17/2013
Story By Ryan Michaels
- The School District of Rhinelander welcomed a new staff member earlier this week.
Kelly Huseby will be the district's new principal at Crescent Elementary School.
Teri Maney left that position earlier this year to fill the district's Director of Instruction opening.
Huseby worked with the Rhinelander School District before. From 1995 to 2000 she was the lead teacher involved in keeping students up to date with reading and math skills.
Huseby then took a job with the School District of Tomahawk as the director of instruction, associate middle school principal, and reading coordinator.
Huseby says she is happy to be back and is enthusiastic about her new leadership role. She starts next Monday.

Stevens Point police investigating two possible stabbings
Submitted: 09/28/2016
- Stevens Point police want your help finding suspects in two possible stabbings. The stabbings happened early Friday morning and early Sunday morning near downtown Stevens Point.
Friday, four young men got into a fight on Main Street. One man said he was stabbed in the chest. Police say the suspect is a black man in his mid-20s, about 5' 9" tall, with a muscular build and short hair. The victim was treated at the hospital and released.
Sunday morning, police responded to an incident at 2nd Street and Crosby Avenue. Witnesses heard glass breaking and people yelling about a stabbing. Police don't have a victim or suspect description in that case, but they don't believe the two stabbings are connected.
If you have any information about the stabbings, call Detective Sgt. Gruber at 715-346-1518.
You can also call Portage County Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 888-346-6600.

Recent rainfall delays potato harvesting after great growing season
Submitted: 09/28/2016
- The rain this summer put a damper on some people's outdoor plans, but it was great for potato farmers.
The rainfall made this one of best growing seasons in Wisconsin's history, but now that rainfall is delaying harvesting.
Potato growers can't dig up potatoes when they're wet because they won't store well.
But if they wait too long growers run the risk of the crops getting damaged by frost.

Damage estimates from flooding approach $10 million
Submitted: 09/28/2016
- Damage caused by flooding in Wisconsin already is getting close to $10 million dollars.
Wisconsin emergency management workers provided the estimate on damage to homes, businesses and public infrastructure.
In an update Tuesday night, the State Emergency Operations Center put the damage to homes and businesses at over $1.6 million dollars.
Damage to public infrastructure, including roads, bridges and trails, has reached over $8 million dollars.
The numbers should go higher, as some counties are still not reporting.

Disability groups question ethics of Wisconsin teen's death
Submitted: 09/28/2016
- Disability rights advocates say the death of a Wisconsin teenager who was allowed to end treatment of her incurable disease was an injustice.
The Post-Crescent reports that 14-year-old Jerika Bolen died last week after drawing national attention for her decision to end a lifelong fight against a progressive disease that left her mostly immobile and with severe, chronic pain.

Rhinelander early voting starts Friday
Submitted: 09/27/2016
Play Video
- People in Rhinelander will be able to cast their November election ballots starting on Friday.
It's the earliest people in Wisconsin have ever been able to vote.
The absentee ballots are stacked and ready for Friday at the Rhinelander City Clerk's office.
To make the early voting process go as smoothly as possible, you will need to come prepared.
"When you come in make sure that you're registered. That is important. Make sure you're registered in the city if you're coming into us," said Clerk Valerie Foley.
Registering is easy; all you need is a photo ID and proof of residence.
The registration form takes a couple of minutes, and then you will be able to fill out an election ballot.
"I think it is going to be a very busy day. I think people are pretty interested in the issues. And I think a lot of them would like to get and make sure they can vote if they're not certain they're going to make it to the polls in November or not," said Foley.
The clerk's office has already sent out about 200 ballots to people who have requested them.
Now, it is preparing for the early voter in-person rush.
If you are unsure whether you are registered to vote or where to go for early voting, the clerk's office suggests voters visit myvote.wi.gov for more information.

Vilas County sees less complaints about ATVS
Submitted: 09/27/2016
Play Video
- Vilas County could see more ATVs on the road.
Complaints about the popular sport decreased within the last year as safety precautions increased.
"It's just a good way to get together and have a good time with a lot of comradery," said President of the Landover ATV/UTV Club Roger Flaherty.
Flaherty started the Landover ATV club in 2001 with him and his grandson as the first members.
Now the club has over 300 members.
His grandson is the trail boss and is responsible for making sure riders stay safe, by putting up road and route signs. Keeping riders safe was an important part of the clubs growth.
"Well it makes me feel really good it's an accomplishment.
I was told many times it would never happen and I heard "no" so [many times] I didn't think there was any alternative word," said Flaherty.

Anton eager for third Big Easy season
Anton Haig has achieved success across the globe, but returns to South Africa this week looking to hone his game at Roodepoort Country Club, which hosts the season-opener for the Sunshine Big Easy Tour presented by Stonehage.
The 2007 Johnnie Walker Championship winner has played on every major tour in the world, but felt that practice is never as useful as tournament experience. For that reason he has returned to keep his game on top form by competing in the two rounds at Roodepoort.
And that is the exact purpose of the Big Easy Tour. Young rookies looking for tournament experience and experienced pros looking to rekindle their game have the chance to tee up and compete at Big Easy tournaments, and in so doing they keep the competitive edge.
Haig has seen the highs and lows of professional golf, and just last year finished 15th at the European TourÂs Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. He also missed a full Sunshine Tour card at Qualifying School, but finished in the top 60 and qualified for the Big Easy Tour. After a spell on the Asian Tour heÂs returned to develop his game.
Many players who qualify to play Sunshine Tour events are forced to go through pre-qualifying rounds, which offer up just 10 tournament spots and leave plenty of players empty handed. For that reason the Big Easy Tour was introduced, and it offers players the chance to compete regularly through the winter months.
The tour comprises 11 tournaments, which each carry a R100,000 prize fund and span a 36-hole competition. At the close of these 11 events the top 30 on the Order of Merit qualify for the Tour Championship, which is worth R250,000.
Players finishing anywhere from 71 to 157 on the 2012 final Sunshine Tour Order of Merit, the top 30 from the 2012 Big Easy Tour Order of Merit and any former Big Easy Tour champions qualify to play on the 2013 Big Easy Tour. Likewise the top 60 and ties from Qualifying School and the top 30 and ties from Vusi Ngubeni Qualifying School are eligible. The final players who qualify for the 2013 season are affiliate members who have played on the Sunshine Tour.
No player who finished within the top 70 on the 2012 final Sunshine Tour Order of Merit qualifies to play on the Big Easy Tour.
The development tour has produced the likes of Bryce Easton, who finished second at the Asian TourÂs $750,000 Chiangmai Classic a fortnight ago. Prior to his success abroad, Easton came through the ranks of the Big Easy Tour and went on to win twice on the Sunshine Tour.
Fellow graduates of the Big Easy Tour include Teboho Sefatsa, who won the Sunshine TourÂs 2012 BMG Classic within a month of taking the Big Easy Tour Order of Merit.
ZimbabweÂs Ryan Cairns displayed similar success when he won the 2012 Vodacom Origins of Golf tournament at Simola Golf Estate. It was no coincidence that a fortnight prior to his victory he had won the Big Easy Tour Observatory tournament.
With its third season due to begin on Tuesday morning, the Big Easy Tour looked as healthy as ever. The field consists of 112 players this week and certainly provides the competitive environment that tomorrowÂs stars need in order to keep their game sharp enough for the world stage.

Indian Drawings of Dinosaurs?
Mary Jo & I are currently leading a geology field trip of the Southwest for Jackson Hole Bible College. Besides seeing a lot of rock layers and formations (love that Flood Geology), they have gotten to see quite a few petroglyphs. One of those we saw looks interestingly like a bi-pedal dinosaur (image to the left). In another spot, we saw a petroglyph that looked like a sauropod dinosaur (the first is an actual photograph and the second is the photographically enhanced version). With so many dinosaur images found on rocks, fashioned in or painted on clay, etched in metal, and depicted in ancient mosaics, it is hard to believe that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years before people came on the scene. (See articles from our Think & Believe Newsletter.) It would appear those millions of years really didn't exist. By Dave Nutting...Read More
Magnetic Reversals found frozen in the rocks!
Here is a fascinating article – it shows how there is evidence of magnetic reversals "frozen" within the layers of rock. But what this article focuses on is research on a very small volcanic rock layer that based on its size could have only cooled (from lava) and formed within 15 days. What is significant is that it shows the complete magnetic reversal from the volcanic layer below and the volcanic layer above. This shows that it doesn't take thousands of years for the magnetic field to reverse which happens over and over again over millions of years, but it shows that at that point in earth history it happened really fast – likely as some catastrophic event was happening (a worldwide flood and rapid plate tectonics). This is yet another physical evidence that fits a catastrophic flood thousands of years ago better than billion year old slow changes to Earth history! Read more details here:...Read More

David: Online polls have become just another element in a political marketing campaign. Their use is not to find out or reflect what people think, but rather to help form it while appearing to only reflect it. They build an appearance of a growing, dynamic movement, and if that appearance is effective enough it will become reality. So people are willing to cheat to rig a poll, and to applaud such cheating as a sign of a movement that is doing everything to achieve its goals.

Sept.` 25 i923,
' ,48,72 B. M. BEsKow FOLDING CHAIR Filed Nov. 18 1921 Patented SephZS, 1923.
Application led November 18, 1921. Serial No. 516,095.
T aal! whom t may cof/wem:
. Be it known that I, BERNHARD M. BnsKow, a citizen of the United States, residing at Miami'Beach, in the county of Dade and State of Florida, have invented or discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Chairs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to legless folding chairs and has' for its object-to provide a simple and convenient device of this kind which is more especially adapted to be removably attached to a plain board seat such as is used in the bleachers of base ball parks or in other places where cheap seating stands are provided for the accommodation of large numbers of persons. To this end the improved folding chair preferably comprises a light sheet metal seat frame to which is hinged a folding bac-k rest, the seat frame having depending members, to embrace a board on which the seat will rest when in use,one set, at least, 0f these depending members being preferably of elastic spring metal so asto afford a frictional hold on the edges of the board on which the seat is to be placed, thus removably securing theI folding chair to the boa-rd, all as will hereinafter more fully appear.
In the accompanying vdrawing Fig. 1 is a plan View of the frame of the improved folding chair with the back in raised position, and Fig. 2 is a side View of the same a board to which the chair may be removably secured being denoted by dotted lines. Fig.` 3 is a detail bottom view of the front portion of the seat frame, showing the spring arms and their mountings. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view on line 4 4, Fig. 3.- Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the chair in folded condition. Figs'. 6 and 7 illustrate a modification.
Referring to the drawings, 1 2 denotes the side partsof the seat frame and 13 the front part thereof, said front part being shown integral with said side parts, but itmay be a separate piece secured to the side parts. The rearends of the side parts, 12 are twisted approximately 90"V and bent down forming ears 15, and to these depending ears the back 16 is suitably pivoted, as by rivets 17. The 'rear portions of the side parts 12 are connected together by a cross bar 18. Secured to the front part 13 and to the top of the back 16 are tapes 19, preferably of steel,
bar or part 13 by means of looped brackets 22 secured to said bar or part, said brackets affording bearings in which said arms are journalled so that partial rotation of said arms in said bearings is permitted. To secure said arms in said brackets, while permitting limited rotary movements thereof, said arms are provided with pins 23 received in slots 24 in the-brackets 22, the end walls of said slots, when engaged by said pins, serving as stops to limit the turning movements of said arms.
When the chair is folded for convenient transportation the fingers 21 are turned over close to the bar or part 13, as shown in full lines in Figs.V 3 and 5, but when the chair is in use the said fingers are turned to the position shown in full lines in -F igs. 2 and 4, and will then serve, in c0-operation with the rigid, depending ears 15, as gripping members to engage a board, as w, to removably attach said cha-ir to the board. In this gripping operation the spring arms 20 may yield, .asdenoted by dotted lines in Fig. 3, so as to have a. strong but elastic hold on the board as also adapting the chair to be attached to boards of different widths.
Attached tothe front seat part 13 and the top of the back 16 is a cover 25 of leather, canvas or other suitable flexible material, said cover being partially supported by the tapes 19, t-hus affording a comfortable seat for the' user. The tapes 19 are preferably of steel and serve not only to support the flexible cover 25, but,.primarily, as a most effective means for bracing the back 16 Without in any way obstructing the seat proper, so that the cha-irs may be placed. as close together as may be desirable and thusthe seating capacity of the boards on which the chairs are supported will not be lessened or interfered with. This feature of bracing the pivoted or folding back of a chair by Hexible means connecting the seat portion of the chair tothe upper part of a pivoted or foldl ing back may, of course, be applied to chairs other than legless chairs, as will be obvious. In order, however, that the flexible means or tapes may properly brace the folding back 16 and may properly co-operate with the seat portion of the chair, it is aaeaeva necessary that the rear cross bar 18, beneath which said fiexible means or tapes extend. should be at said seat ortion and should be located forward of tie pivotal point of the said folding back, as clearly shown in Figs. l and 2.
Instead of the spring arms 20 for remo-v'- ably attaching the chair to boards of" different widths other equivalent means may be employed. For example, the' chair seat might be provided on its lower lsidewith sliding` spring-retracted hooks, as 26, the inward movements of which, under the inuence of springs, as 27, encircling the Shanks 28 of the hooks, being limited by fixed stops, as 29. See Figs. 6 and 7. The collar 30, attached to the shank 28 and between which and one of the supporting lugs 31 thespring 27 is located, may be formed with a flat top' sliding in contact'with the y frame part 12, 'sa-id flat top preventing the rod 27 from turning.
From the foregoing it will be understood that the invention provides a. simple and convenient legless chair adapted to be removably attached to a board of an otherwise uncomfortable stand, and which chair may be folded for convenient transportation.
The invention is not to be understood as being limited to the details herein shown, as
these details may be varied widely, within v the province of mechanical skill, Without departing from the scope of the invention as defined bythe following claims.
Having thus described m 1 invention I cla-im and desire to secure by tters Patent:
l. A folding legless chair composed of a seat portion and a back pivoted thereto, said seat portion being provided with means for removably attaching the chair to a board on 2. A legless foldingl chair comprising a..
sheet metal seat frame part with rigid depending ears at its rear portion and a cross bar near the rear of said seat frame partfa back pivoted to said ears, spring arms mounted at the front of said seat frame part, ytapes extendin from the front of said seat frame part an beneath Said cross-bar to the top of said back, and serving to brace the latte-r, and a flexible cover partially supported b said tapes.
3.

2009 Porsche Boxster Convertible S 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)
This is the best balanced car I've ever owned with no handling faults I can even think of. It's just an all around fun car to drive and care for. Oil changes and other maintenance is a bit expensive, but the maintenance intervals are spaced far enough apart that although each service is rather expensive ($450+), they don't come often enough to be excessive - especially for a car of this level. Like a loyal hunting dog, it just begs to go and play every time I walk into the garage.No unscheduled problems, so far with 32K miles on the odo.
Incredibly fun to own and drive and care for.
It's a Porsche. I don't mean for that to sound effete, but until you own one, you won't fully understand. I didn't either...
The Porsche social scene through the PCA (Porsche Club of America) is active, fun, and very helpful and friendly.
The CDR-30 telephone interface is not well designed or user friendly. Porsche should have selected a better vendor for this hardware.
Automatic headlights would be a nice feature.
The turn signal audio could be louder to help alert you that your turn signals are still on.
2009 Porsche Boxster Convertible 2dr Convertible (2.9L 6cyl 6M)
I've had my 2009 Boxster for about a month. I love the car but I'm having an issue with hesitation. The dealer's computer doesn't find any problems with the engine, but the car clearly hesitates sometimes. I'm not sure if the problem is with the PDK. It feels more like a problem with fuel injection. It's very annoying. From a dead stop when I press the gas pedal, I want the car to GO, not sputter and cough. What's the deal Porsche?
Soft top opens, closes quickly. The purring sound of the engine. The build quality and interior comfort.
The car hesitates - what's up Porsche? Upgraded Bose stereo is not very good. Upgraded leather comfort seats - leather looks and feels more like vinyl.

Harry knew that when the bright posters for back-to-school supplies were plastered onto the shop windows, or when the flip-flops turned to sneakers and the shorts turned to trousers, that fall was on its way. He was also distinctly aware that those signs came fashionably early, usually around when July ended. August was more like the Sunday of Summer, where the entire month was dedicated to preparing for the next ten or so. He figured, on the day that he got kicked out of Jasper's Bakery, it was around August fifth, six days after his eleventh birthday. He'd been taking loaves of bread and stashing it under his shirt (Aden and Archer would appreciate them, maybe even let him have a bigger slice than usual for his hard work), a violation of law that could have landed him in a police station if Jasper hasn't recognized Harry and taken pity. These days he was frail and bony, and if you lifted up his shirt, you could see his xylophone of ribs, the prominent knob of his hip bone, and the pale skin that stretched over each vertebra. He tended to keep his shirt down for precisely that reason, but Jasper could easily deduce he was starving.
The air was very muggy that evening, hot but with little sun. Later that night would surely be colder, which made him bow his head. Winters were harder than anything out of the streets. No one had time for the ten-year-old beggars—eleven-year-old beggars, that was. He had a blanket and an old jumper stashed into the trashcan down the street, and he prayed silently that it was still there. If anyone, Aden would keep it safe.
As it turned out, he was expected to see them soon. He started to make his way down the street, taking multiple glimpses at the people walking around him. Several of the passersby looked at him as he parted the hoard of people, like a salmon swimming upstream. He could only imagine what he looked like. He hadn't bathed in days.
They were both sitting on a park bench, clad in their usual black leather. Last Christmas they had both worked up the money to get Harry his own faux leather jacket, which was now his most prized possession, and a lot nicer than anything the Dursleys had ever gotten him. When he left, he took nothing accountable with him. Maybe that was why people were scared of them, three homeless boys strapped in dark leather and running about the city, appearing to cause havoc on anyone they pass. In truth, they were all very calm and serene. Aden liked to spend his time in the local book store, hiding in the back corner for hours at a time because he didn't have the money to leave with the book in hand. Out of the three of them, he was the mastermind, the plotter with all real quick wit and clever thoughts.
Archer on the other hand was the most foolish. He had a switchblade in his pocket and a comb in his shoe. A lighter was accessible at all moments. A majority of their time together was spent keeping his impulsive actions and thoughts underhand so he didn't end up in the back of a police car (again). But he was definitely loyal, that was for sure. In his left shoulder was a bullet wound from when he'd pushed Aden out of the way from a stray man with a gun last October.
Usually, when Archer wasn't doing anything illegal, they weren't involved in any tomfoolery and debauchery—especially not with Harry around, seeing as he was often the one who needed taking care of, being the youngest and most inexperienced. Harry hated knowing he let the group slow with him. Because he was there, they didn't drink or smoke cigarettes anymore. They rarely stole any food to keep them alive, and they didn't get into as many fist fights. They told Harry that it was a good thing, that Harry was a positive influence, but he could tell that Archer missed the adrenaline pump he got from sinking his fist into another man's gut, and while he didn't approve of violence, he also didn't approve of changing people. That was when he suggested the anterior motive—the boxing ring allowed contestants to fight for free the second Thursday of every month, where he would be allowed to pummel whoever he wanted and not get in trouble, and Harry would not be hindrance who stopped him, because it was all fair sport. The next competition was that night.
"Harry, m'boy!" Archer cried, wrapping his arm around Harry's neck in a friendly headlock and rubbing his knuckled into his skull. "We'd have thought you ran away for hills, mate. Where did you go?"
"Jasper's," Harry mumbled, sounding defeated. He really did have his eyes set on that loaf of bread. It would have fed them for the next night or two, and they could have eaten like real men instead of begging for scraps.
"Oh," Archer said. It wasn't angry or sad. Just, oh. Oh.
"We're glad you're back," Aden said quietly from behind his book—he'd snatched it from the crate outside of the library, where the old and threadbare books were placed when no one dared to take them out anymore. It wasn't stealing if it was free.
"Yeah. My match is tonight, mate. I'm up against Fisher, and d'ya know what that means?"
"Victory?" Harry asked dubiously, dropping his knapsack and pulling out a half-empty waterbottle.
"Victory!" Archer screeched, falling next to Harry in the grass and punching the dirt. "Victory is mine! I will win, Harry, and we shall eat like kings in a great hall of success!"
Harry had heard this speech several times since giving the idea of boxing in the first place. Archer had won most of the matches he'd participated in, and lost only to the truly qualified. Fisher was a scrawny bloke with spindly limbs and a gaunt face, not unlike Archer, Aden, and Harry nowadays, but he was low ranking, and there was no doubt Archer could take him.
"Your hubris shows brighter than the stars," Aden laughed, flipping a page.
They continued like that for a while, making small talk and quips to each other's insults as brothers do, and Harry took the time to let what was left of the setting sun bathe him. The park was mostly deserted at this time of day, where night was just starting to break. It must have been around seven o'clock, about an hour and a half from Archer's fight. Two people were opposite him of the park, kissing in a tangle of limbs so tight Harry couldn't tell whose arm was whose. Three benches over was an old woman and man in very peculiar clothing, long cloaks of odd colors: oranges; reds; purples. The man had a long white beard tied with a string, and the woman, while having no beard, had dark hair up in a tight bun atop her head. He had the impression that he'd seen the two before, and merely raised his eyebrows when he remembered that the beard of the old man had been familiar in Jasper's Bakery. The man looked then and now like he was about to stand and run for Harry, slight insanity dancing in his eyes, and it didn't make him feel good.
"Why don't we head down for the ring, yeah? There's always a long line there, and there's no reason we should have to wait."
Archer and Aden listened to him, like they always had, and together they strolled down the city sidewalk of London. Harry made sure to take sharp turns and confusing alleyways to avoid the two people who scared him out of his pants.
Inside, the place was dark and musty. It smelled like sweat and work, and Harry didn't think that was good at all, but Archer perked at the familiarity, and he ran for the lockers.
Aden slung his arm around Harry's shoulders. "It'll be a fun night for sure."
Harry could only kindly agree.
Minerva angrily hiked up the hem of her skirt, bunching up the fabric in her fist and bringing it up to her knees so she could hop over the fence outside of the Dursley yard.
"This is ridiculous," she said for what might have been the millionth time. "We know where he is. Let's go get the boy."
"We need the letter, Minerva. I'm afraid there isn't any other way but to ask the Dursleys politely. The boy cannot stay in Hogwarts over the summer. We need to give him this home."
"This home does not want him, though I can't imagine why. Isn't it better to have a home that loves him? Those two boys seem to care for Potter, don't they?"
"They do," Dumbledore mused, "yes, but they cannot even feed him regularly. Maybe we can get the Dursleys to reconsider."
But they didn't, of course. Upon seeing the two odd people on their doorstep, the Dursleys shut their door and hid away, and even when confronted by magic, they didn't dare take the boy.
"He ran away years ago!" Vernon yelped, his great big face turning an awful puce color. "The boy never did anything but eat our food and disrespect his authorities, and frankly, he's better out there on the streets like the bum he is!"
Minerva, who was turning redder by the minute, thought about slapping the Dursley but resorted to something less violent: using a hex to knock over a potted plant and sending it smashing to the ground in a bunch of splintered fragments. It was one of the more uncharacteristic acts she'd ever admitted to doing, but she knew it would send the arse reeling in anger.
"OUT!" he screamed, "OUT OF MY HOME."
Dumbledore and Minerva left the house in a puff of smoke and appeared outside the fight club.
"You didn't grab the letter!" Minerva said.
Dumbledore lifted the small piece of parchment he had in his pocket. "Oh yes, I did."
Archer was winning, as expected. He had his gloves in front of his face, feet bouncing up and down on his toes, his Cheshire grin splitting his face in half in a devilishly cunning way. One punch. Two punches. Three punches. Down.
A bell rang. People clapped. Aden stood up and cheered for his brother, and Harry did the same, punching the air and whooping. Archer bowed and then, just because he was a show off, did a flip off the ropes around the ring.
"Bastard," Aden laughed, and then quickly apologized for swearing in front of Harry.
"I don't mind," he told him, and then he caught it: the twinkle of insanity in blue eyes and the long white beard.
"Oh. Oh. Oh, we need to leave, Aden. Now."
Archer popped down. "Hey! Not bad, eh?" He frowned when he noticed that no one was paying attention to them. "Hey, guys! I won! Pay attention to meee!"
"What's wrong, Harry?" Aden asked.
"There are people following me," Harry said. "We need to leave."
The brothers looked at one another, expression unreadable.
"You guys go," Archer said in a sudden seriousness. "Aden, you take Harry to the safe spot. They aren't looking for me, so I'll collect the victory money and pick up some dinner. I'll meet you there, and don't get sidetracked. Love you, Bro." And then he was swallowed by a crowd of admirers who patted his back and ruffled his damp raven hair.
"C'mon, Harry. You know the rules."
Harry knew the rules by heart. He'd memorized them some years ago after first meeting the two brothers in a darkened alleyway, when they had first taken him under their wing. He had promised not to be a nuisance (so much for that), so they allowed him to travel with them, and since then, so much had already happened.
One: Stick together.
Two: No one gets left behind.
Three: No one messes with Harry.
Four: Listen to what another person says. So if one person says to leave them, to save themselves, then go. Don't look back, just run.
Five: Once a brother, always a brother.
Six: Try your damndest not to get arrested (that means you, Archer), because we need each other, and if you do something selfish that gets you taken away, you are at fault.
Seven: There is no such thing as alone.
Eight: Don't rat.
Having Aden tell him to remember the rules only meant that if something happened to Aden, Harry would have to run and run fast. That didn't help his uneasy stomach, but he agreed to oblige nonetheless, however unsure he would be able to follow through with it.
The old man started to near Harry, so Aden and him bolted for the double doors, taking a turn down three streets and cutting the corner next to the joke shop. A knot of children passed, and Aden had to side-step out of the way. It was getting darker. Harry could barely see ten feet in front of him.
"Pick it up, little man," Aden said, taking Harry's hand and then steering them in a completely different direction, out of the streets all together until they were laying on the soft grass of an open field. It was their safe spot, but it didn't feel safe.
Aden collapsed onto the grass. "We're too far away, they couldn't tell where we went. The old man's… well… old."
As if on cue, there was a loud crack! and the old man appeared literally out of thin air.
"Ah, hello, Harry. We might have gotten off on a bad foot."
He couldn't help it. Harry screamed. Aden did, too. They got up, and grabbed their things, making their way down the hill but before they could reach the bottom, something invisible rebounded, and they were sent flying back. Nothing hurt but his pride.
Aden swore. He pushed Harry behind him. "Run," he whispered, and Harry knew he would have to. But when he pushed back to go down the hill, something thick stopped him, like a wall of invisible rubber.
"I can't. There's something blocking—"
"No, no. Please, we are not trying to hurt you."
The woman next to him, whose face strongly resembled a put off pug, huffed. "Oh, merlin! As if we could. Potter, do we look like we could hurt you? I'm practically rotting in my socks! I should have retired ages ago."
"Oh, you're not nearly as old as I am, Minerva," the bearded man said, smiling faintly and eyes dancing. Harry couldn't tell if the man was sincerely nice or a deft conman. He'd heard that kidnappers were very persuasive.
When Aden spoke next, his voice was firm. "What do you want with Harry?"
Harry tried to push Aden out of the way. He didn't want one of the only people he cared about to get hurt on his behalf—that and he really did want to face the two mystery people. He wanted to see their faces properly, instead of leaning around Aden's narrow sides in hopes of seeing the two. He felt like a child. But he felt like a protected child.
"We're old family friends," he said. "Your parents, Lily and James, were students at a school I taught at when they met. Got married a few years after graduation, and then they had you." He looked pointedly at Harry.
"How do we know you're telling the truth?" Aden retorted. It was very strange for Harry to see him like that. He very rarely got angry; sometimes Harry thought of him as the most even-tempered person in London, possibly the world, especially for someone who had to put up with Archer and him.
"Those are my parent's names," Harry whispered. "Lily and James. He knows them."
"Harry, it's easy to break into family records."
"You're very clever—Aden, is it? You remind me of a few other students of mine. At Hogwarts."
"I've never heard of it," Aden nearly spat. "There's no school anywhere in England with that name!"
"It's in Scotland," the woman muttered. "Look, we just need to talk to the boy, okay? We promise not to hurt him."
There was a gasp from behind them. Archer stood, plastic bag in one hand, other poised mid-air in shock.
"Professor," he muttered. "I—um—sir."
"Archer Lightreed. Please to see you again."
Aden whirled around. "You know the man, Arch?"
"Oh—Oh, God. I should have told you, Aden. I just didn't think—and oh, Harry. I had no idea you were—I haven't been in the magical world in—this was the man we're running away from?"
"Stop dicking around!" Aden yelled. "What the hell is going on?"
"Archer Lightreed was a… let's say rather innovative student at Hogwarts for three years. Quite the wizard, I'll admit."
"Wizard?" Harry said, but no one seemed to hear him.
"You knew I was going to a boarding school for a little bit," Aden said, setting down his bag, perching himself on the grass, and then pulling out a Styrofoam tray.
"Yes, but you quit! And as far as I knew, it was a stupid—stupid school for teenage delinquents!"
"Me? Delinquent? It's like you don't even know me, brother," he laughed.
Aden stilled and then turned to the man. "Name?"
"Professor Dumbledore speaking, Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"That's not even funny."
"I'm not going to leave you guys," Harry said, though the back of his chest ached. After a long and trailing conversation with Dumbledore and McGonagall, he'd never been more thrilled in his life. He'd never been so special.
"You have to," Archer said. "I dropped out because I wanted to support my brother, but that's not going to happen to you. Hogwarts is a brilliant school, and we're not going to deprive you a future."
"You shouldn't have deprived yourself a future," Aden muttered, but handed Harry his jacket either way.
"What happened to once a brother, always a brother?"
"You are a brother," Aden assured him, ruffling his hair. "Just look at you! You've done so much to help us, and it's not like you'll be gone forever. By the time you get back, Archer and I will have a big ol' house for us to stay in. No dodgy parks or parking lots. You'll have a big bed to sleep in all year round, yeah?"
Harry thought that sounded better than anything he'd ever heard. He missed his old cupboard back in Number Four Privet Drive a lot, because even if it was small and dingy, it was warm, but he'd never said that aloud. Nothing could have made him go back with his two almost-families helping him out. But if the three of them had a home together… they'd be a proper family.
"I want to go," he said firmly, "but you guys need me. You said it yourself."
Archer pressed his lips together and kneeled down to be at Harry's level. He was so much taller than all three of them, being the oldest. "We do need you, but for once in your life, Harry, you have to be selfish. You're going to be studying magic. Doesn't that excite you? There will be feasts and wands, and you'll have gold jingling in your pockets, and people will love you. Look—I haven't been in the magic world since I was thirteen, and that was nearly six or seven years ago. Back then, they always talked about The Boy Who Lived, but I had no idea that it would be you."
"The Boy Who Lived?"
Archer looked back, for the first time in a very long time, sadly. "Yes. But let's not talk about that. You're more special than you think."
Harry blushed and ducked his head. Down the hill, the two professors were waiting for him to finish their goodbyes, so Harry could buy his things and head to the train. They told him that he was the late, that everyone had received their letters a week ago, but he couldn't be tracked down. Harry would be leaving immediately after full-filling his shopping list.
"How do you know it's safe?"
"Since when have you ever cared about being safe, Mr. I-Wonder-If-That-Rope-Is-Sturdy-Enough-To-Hold-All-Of-Our-Body-Weights? But yes. Hogwarts is that safest place I know."
"What about—?"
"Harry. You have to."
"I'll miss you guys."
They both sighed. "We'll miss you, too. But you have to remember rule number four. I know you know which one that is."
"Of course I do."
They both hugged Harry, and he had a sudden urge to say no and never leave, but the thought of a big castle and a warm bed made him let go. They told him to leave. Breaking the rules was not acceptable.
"We'll miss you, Harry. Goodbye."
"It's not really goodbye, after all."
Consider this my only consolation for being on vacation for a whole week. I got back a few days ago, but here I am! It's a one shot, and I probably won't do a sequel, but I'm not ruling it out completely in case I want to do a what-happens-when-Harry-comes-back fic. I don't know yet. We'll see how this one is received.
I'll update my other fan fiction, Take My Hand and Take My Whole Life Too, soon. As always, the link to my novel on wattpad is on my profile. Uh… what else… I don't really know where the inspiration came for this. I'm not as happy with it as I would have liked, but I think I'll live. Aden and Archer are of my own invention, and they're good characters, I think. They're fun to write. Other than that… adios!
