Knocking on the door, Harry waited for a few moments before he heard Goto's voice through it, "Come in."
The thirteen year old opened said door and walked in before closing. A slight smile on his face, he turned to the Admiral and gave a salute, "Potter Harry, reporting, Teitoku."
Lightly chuckling, Goto shook his head with a slight smile, "Welcome back to Yokosuka, Harry." Becoming thoughtful, he gave a hum, "How have things gone so far on your project."
Walking forward, Harry pulled out a folder and placed it on the desk before opening, "Very well as a matter of fact. It is all in my report here."
His lips twitching, the JMSDF Officer opened said folder and began to leaf through the various papers that were there. Slowly nodding, he gave an appreciative nod, "Very impressive. Did you type all that up last night after arriving?"
Much to his amusement, Harry shook his head, "No, I actually typed it up before we came here. One of the things that I bought at Hogsmeade during my first weekened there was a magical typewriter." Grinning, he gave a shrug, "Among other things, it has a magical spellcheck."
That made Goto blink before he looked up at Harry, "A... magical spell check? Really?" At the nod, he became intrigued, "How does it work?"
Scratching his neck, Harry frowned some, "It is sort of odd really. But... when using it, the typewriter has this mist above the paper? It shows corrections and the like, which you can tap and have them make those corrections to the paper. Hogwarts doesn't allow them for students because, well... a good chunk of the Hogwarts Board doesn't want us using 'Non-traditional methods'. And a lot of people use either quills or dicta-quills which write down what you say. Fred and George are working on one that they tell me that spell checks as well." With a shrug, he shook his head, "Still pretty useful for a device, I have a report on them on page 6 for the possibility of using them in shipgirls so that they can write reports while still at sea. Since typewriters of that type have been around since well before World War Two, it could be sneaked in."
For several moments, the Admiral considered that before leaning back in his chair and thinking. Eventually, he gave a nod, "That... could be very useful." Sitting back up, Goto gave Harry a nod, "I want you to buy some at the next opportunity. If nothing else, it would be a useful experiment and there is a fund for such."
Just nodding, Harry tapped his finger on a page, "Speaking of funds... if you look at page nine, you'll find a full list of what I have managed in my... resource hunting."
Quickly flipping through the pages, Goto reached said page and paused. For several moments, he was staring before he gave Harry a look, "Is this right? What you wrote down here?"
The thirteen year old gave a nod, "Hai, I have recovered about one thousand, and thirty five Kilograms of gold for the special fund. All told, by today's gold prices that is over four million. I have also recovered a similar amount of silver. As well..." Pausing for a moment, Harry pulled off his backpack and brought out a lockbox. Inserting a key, he turned it around and opened it, "These."
Leaning forward, Goto froze. Interested in why he would have that reaction, Ooyodo walked up and her jaw dropped at what was inside, "That..." Reaching in, she pulled out a blue crystal the size of a chicken's egg, "Is this..."
Hands in his pockets, Harry gave her an amused look, "A sapphire? It is..." He then gestured at it, "There was a box of them and a few rubies in the Room of Requirement. Under normal circumstances, the Headmaster would have taken custody, but... there was an issue."
Eyebrow raised even as he looked at them, Goto took a deep breath and let it out, "What sort of issue?" Moments later, an envelope was held out and he took it before reading, "They came from the goblins?"
Glancing at the lockbox, Harry gave a nod, "Hai, one of the Headmasters was involved in a goblin rebellion and took the gems from one of their fortifications in the region after defeating the goblins. They caught him either just before the end of the war, or just after and demanded he turn over the gems. When he didn't..."
That brought a grimace to Goto's face before he shook his head, "Let me guess... the goblins made sure that he did not live long after that fact."
His tone dry, the wizard shook his head, "Oh no, it took him some time to die according to his portrait." A grimace on his face, Harry ran a hand through his hair, "The issue, of course, is that handling them in the magical world in Britain would be a no go. Far too many issues with the goblins, especially as they are in control of the economy, thus they would come across the gemstones and demand to know where they came from. Even though laws regarding them state that it would be totally legal to own or sell them, the goblins..."
From where she was examining one of the gemstones, Nagato frowned, "The goblins would still cause trouble unofficially for whoever did so."
All Harry did was nod at that before turning back to Goto, who had taken the gemstone from Ooyodo, "Of course... us claiming to have found them in an old shipwreck here in Japan? Well, that would be a nice run around for selling them with the goblins unable to tell one way or the other." He tilted his head some, "Professor Dumbledore also gave half to the Royal Navy as well, which they're pleased by."
Muttering to himself, Goto shook his head, "I can imagine why..." Gently, he placed the gemstone back into the box, which was followed by Nagato doing the same. Leaning back in his chair, the Admiral considered the box after he closed and had it locked before turning to Ooyodo and Nagato, "Your opinion?"
Quietly thinking, the Light Cruiser frowned, "It... is a bit troublesome, I will admit. There could be issues, but at the same time, this could be a windfall. This would be of benefit to both our non-magical and magical reserves if we do this right." Already, her thoughts were rushing around her head, "In either case, we had plenty before this regarding what could be used for buying in the magical world. This... would pad out our expenses there easily, I think. Especially as any interaction with the magical side of things is completely unofficial, this would fit well."
Still looking for a second or two at the box, Goto turned to the report of how much gold had been recovered before nodding, "And this helps so that no one notices the fact that we have an area where funds are going and seemingly disappearing." Grimacing, he shook his head, "That would be far too noticeable." Eyes closing, he considered things before nodding and looking at Ooyodo, "Write up a report on this and I want it on my desk when you can. And when we use them, I want full documentation that will be able to be released with the fall of the Statute. Make sure to cover all our bases in regards to this as you have with the other magical expenses."
With a nod, Ooyodo gave a salute, "Hai!"
As she walked over to her desk, Goto handed the box to Nagato who placed it within a safe that was inside her hull. Shaking his head in some disbelief, he gave a chuckle to Harry, "You don't do things by half, do you?" At seeing the teen grin, he turned back to the report before going through it. Flipping through one page and then another, he gave a nod before pausing at one bit, his eyebrows raising, "Hmm... some of these potions are rather interesting. Cat's Eye potion?"
Nodding, the thirteen year old frowned in thought, "It is one of the older potions, not really used that often now. Those that drink it have their eyes transformed into those of a cat's with all the benefits. Low light vision and the like, and then it goes away about two hours after."
Thoughtful, Goto hummed some, "Interesting, especially with Operation Witching Hour." Seeing Harry straighten, the Admiral pulled out some papers and handed them to him, "It is due for the twenty ninth."
Now looking through the papers, Harry felt his eyebrows raise in surprise, "So we are doing this? And why are there no names for who I am transporting?"
Hands clasped in front of him, the older man met his eyes, "John was rather interested and talked to some people. As such, on the Twenty-ninth, you will be on the JDS Asuka with one of the family brooms. You will perform a series of tests regarding the usage of such with ships with a group of individuals from both the Japanese and American militaries off Mikura-Jima. This is not official, just for curiosity. But it will give us a better idea of some capabilities."
All Harry did was nod at that, understanding what was not said, "Understood."
Lips curling up into a smile, Goto clapped his hands, "Now, that aside you have done a good job, Harry. A very good one, especially with the summoning materials." Shaking his head, he chuckled, "These will help greatly, especially with the summoning tomorrow."
Giving another salute, Harry grinned a bit, "You're welcome. May I be dismissed to go to Niyodo-Chan in regards to them?" When he got a nod, the teen bowed, "Thank you."
Once he was gone, the Admiral looked through the report once more before shaking his head and giving them to Nagato, "He has done good, you know. And you should be proud of him."
Nagato glanced at him as she opened the safe and smiled, "I am proud of him, after all he is the Pride of the Big Seven. Though..."
Understanding the worry in her tone, Goto sighed and nodded, "If there was another way, I would not involve him. However, we need to know something about magical capabilities and we'll be getting that. But I can promise you that he will be safe on the Asuka during the tests and they will only be a few hours long. The only thing that they are going to be doing is having them fly him to the nearby island and back, as well as to a nearby LCS and back. After which, he is going to be flown back here." A slight grin appeared on his face, "Though I do wonder what the reactions will be when he enters the Naval Academy and they open his file. I almost wish to see what their expressions will be when reading them..."
