I guess my give a damn is broken

Summary- over the years that Harry has spent in the wizarding world he eventual had to learn to not care as much, especially after everything that had happened after the war had finally ended. So, when the dead started waking up hungry, and the world quickly went to hell, all he could think was, 'figures.'

Disclaimer- I do not own or make any money off of either Harry Potter or the walking dead.

A.N- this is mainly a long filler chapter that is giving information more than anything else.

Chapter four

It had been a good three weeks since Harry had first met Merle and Daryl. And a little over a month since he had first found out about what they were now calling the walkers. During that time, several different things had happened. Some of them rather beneficial to him and the others with him. While some of them rather irritating for all three of them; some more so then then the others.

One of the good things that had happened during the time they had been together, was the fact that the three decided, at least for the time being, they would travel together. As they had all agreed that in most cases three heads were better on two; especially when it came to someone taking guard for the night. Something they all agreed to take turns doing as they didn't want to get attacked by either walkers, or as Merle pointed out other survivors.

Not to mention that between the three of them they were able to cover the weakness the others had; even if they honestly didn't want to admit the weaknesses that they did have. Something that was further helped by the fact that Harry seemed to think in a similar way to the brothers and was an unfaltering survivor at his very core. With the added bonus of the fact Harry wasn't insulted or offended by the way Merle often spoke; often giving as good as he got.

Another beneficial thing that had happened was two weeks in, Harry had decided to hell with it and had actual told both Merle and Daryl about his magic. Only to find out that the both of them already knew about magic both because they were squibs whose family had left them with their father when they didn't show any magic.

And that despite what Harry thought about his skills in hiding what he was doing Harry had let it slip several times that he himself had magic to them; as they already knew what to look for. Though they did state that unlike most other wizards or witches they had meet that they had noticed that Harry didn't rely solely on his magic. So, they had decided to give him the benefit of the doubt until he proved himself to be untrustworthy; which he hadn't do so.

When Harry had question them about the fact that they had trusted him despite the fact they didn't seem to trust those with magics in the least bit; which Harry could easily understand seeing in most cases he felt the same.

Which they had replayed with, in a rather point-blank matter at that, that at times like this they couldn't afford to be pick about anything. Let alone someone who could both understand them as well as help guard their backs like Harry did. Not to mention the both of them could very easily see the benefits of having someone who had magic on their side. So, they hadn't attempted to chase him off like their first instinct had been when they had first figured out he had magic.

Harry after hearing that, wasn't insulted nor did he feel like they were using him like he had felt the wizarding world had been. In fact, Harry found himself rather impressed with the brother's kind of thinking. That was the kind of thinking that Harry could see making it through what the hell that was currently going on.

Hell, it was the kind of thinking he had been using when he had first started traveling with both Daryl and Merle, to begin with. Thinking on how it benefited him and helped him live longer because they were there.

Not to mention he knew that this was different then how the wizarding world had been with him because he knew that Daryl and Merle wouldn't be dependent on him in the least bit. Nor would the be expecting him to be their hero; like the majority of the wizarding world had. Expecting him to handle everything while they buried their heads in the ground and pretended nothing was going on. No, he really couldn't see either Merle or Daryl behaving in anyway like that.

But in the end Harry wasn't mad because he had done the same thing they had. So why would he feel mad about the fact they were doing the same thing to him? It didn't make sense to him. Something he shared with both brothers, when they had brought up his lack of reaction. Which was something that earned him a laugh from Merle, and a smirk from Daryl as the normal quite younger brother told Harry.

"I knew you were more similar to my brother and I then most others out there. I got to say I'm glad to have ya on our side while what ever the hell this is goes down. World needs more people who thinks like us out there." After this was said the three seemed to work closer and it was like something that had been stopping them from working together as smoothly had completely disappeared after Harry's confession about his magic.

In fact, it was after this happened that Harry decided to key the other two into his tent and while doing so them know everything that he had with him inside said tent. Usually something in him would be screaming at him for doing so because he hadn't known them that long; not nearly enough to trust him as much as he did.

Hell, he had known people longing during his travels, and hadn't trusted any of them enough to even inform them about his magic let alone let them inside his tent. Not even the lovers he had taken had been in the known as much as both Daryl and Merle now were.

Yet at the same time something was telling Harry that it was needed. That the two brothers would be a big help in his future, that if he waited much longer to inform them about everything then he'd loss their valuable trust; so Harry had listened to that gut feeling. And didn't regret it in the least bit as the looks on their faces as they entered his tent had made it worth it with that alone. It seemed that while they did know about magic, it actually wasn't that much information.

What they did know was just the bare basics really. Things like yes it was out there, no they didn't have it, and any other family they had that did have magic had abandoned them because of their lack of it.

Which when hearing that Harry could see just why they were so weary about trusting anyone who did have magic, as those type of people had never done anything remotely similar to help them; even when they had the opportunity to do so.

Making Harry feel that much more pleased that he had earned their respect enough that they honestly didn't seem to care one way or another that he had magic. Despite how much Magic had screwed them over in the past, despite the fact it was magic that caused the beginning over everyone not seeing them as good enough. Something both brothers had long since learned to not care about any longer but still something that had left scars on them. Which was another reason why Harry had decided to key them into his tent.

Well that and the fact that his tent would offer them a lot more protection than anything they had outside. At least as far as Harry could tell, as with all the wards he had his tent was most likely one of the safest placed available for many miles around; even if it didn't look like it.

Not to mention the fact that now that they knew about magic and were keyed into his tent Harry felt that they would be willing to help him further in the plans he had for his tent. Because he knew the plans he had were something that would be something both brothers would approve of; or had even thought of doing themselves at one point.

Plans that when he let both Daryl and Merle know about, which happened once they had neared the end of the second week of their travels together. And Harry had only done so after they had gotten more used to his magic as well as after they had both decided on the rooms they had wanted in his tent. Which happened to two of the rooms the furthest in the tent, near his room, but side by side with each other.

Were plans that once the two of them heard about them, were very much willing to help him put it together. Not to mention, just like Harry had hoped they would, both Daryl and Merle also threw their own idea into his plans as well. Ideas Harry was very much willing to go along with because Harry knew that the two brothers had spent their whole life's, or nearly their entire life's, in the wild and knew just what was needed to be able to live off the lands. More so then Harry did at any rate.

And because of this, and because three people can plan out the best way to get things done better then a single person could, even with the help of magic, several of Harry's plans were beginning to be set up faster than he had ever thought they would have been. Better than he had originally planned them to be for that matter as well.

This included his plans on turning the open field he had made in his tent originally for flying, into something else entirely. Seeing as said field was incredibly large when you take into account both the fact it was used to fly in, and the fact that was magically extended as far as it could get.

More so then it had normal been as Harry had figured out how to add a good deal of his own magic to the spell work in question giving it an even large boost then it had beforehand. Making the sun kissed field in question one large amount of land, that was as Merle said larger the most farms he'd seen.

Which Harry took as Merle honestly believed that what Harry was planning, or had planned, to do with said open field would work; at least when it to the size of everything. The believe seemed to only get strong as the three continued added more details of what they needed to do, or in the cases of the brothers were given more details about what magic could do; or what Harry's tent could do.

More so when Harry also explained that on the outside of this room was a key to control the weather in it so you could make it warmer, colder, rainy, windy or even snowing if you chose to. Seeing s before Harry had liked practicing in all type of weather; as you never really knew when you had may have to fly off in an emergency.

Knowing this, both brothers were happy to get work on the plans Harry had told them about; with the knowledge it could succeed if done correct. Well, not happy but quickly none the less as they knew what they were doing would be needed in the future; just as Harry himself knew.

Not to mention like earlier mentioned both Daryl and Merle had been able to point out, as well as bring up, several different things Harry had missed out on when he had originally been planning his work. Things Harry really wouldn't have even thought of until it was too late for him to do anything about it. Making it all work out all the better in the long run for everyone involved. Not to mention making a permanent mark of the Dixon's as someone Harry could trust as they did so.

That is to say that within several days of work and nearing the end of the third week they had been working together, the three had gotten a lot of what Harry planned for what had been something similar to a quidditch field for him before. And while he was sort of sad to see his flying pitch disappear what it was now would help him much more when it comes to terms of surveil; which was something Harry needed more then he needed a flying field.

Now instead the entire thing was pretty much split in half with a large lake in the very center of if; being the thing in question that nearly spilt the field in the first place. The lake in question was rather deep and had been made with the help of several blasting spells; as well as several different powerful water blasting spells to fill it up.

Said lake had several different types of eatable fish inside of it, several of which Merle had informed him were of breeding age. With enough of them in the lake in question Harry knew he didn't have to fear running out of fish, and because of the knowledge Merle had when it came to the care necessary for the fish or man-made lakes, Harry didn't have to worry about many problems when it came to said lake.

So, with the lake not only did they have one source of food, but because the water in said lake was about a clean as it could get with fish swimming through it, seeing as it had been made with pure magic, made it so that everything else they did in within the field also now had a source of water as well.

This meant that fruit trees, that had been magical transported and carefully uprooted from several different abandon farms they had run a crossed where place. Which so far, included three apple trees, five peach trees, and two cherry trees.

All of which Harry was happy to know weren't showing any signs of shock and seemed to be settle very well in their new location. Along with this Harry had also gotten three smaller blue berry bushes that they had found in the woods. Something Harry was happy about as he knew those bushes could seriously spread pretty far if given time.

Still all of these new fruit bearing plants had all been successful planted near the lake in question so that they would have constant source of water for when it wasn't raining

Not to mention that with those bushes, and any fallen fruit from the trees, that the animals they had captured now had both water as well as more food then the grass they had before. Meaning that they would stay alive and healthy longer, not to mention would most likely breed a little more with the more surplus of food.

The animals they had managed to capture so far included, several rabbits which at the moment seemed the easiest for them to capture; all of different gender. Four geese, which Daryl had actual captured, tow of each gender; and the nest of eggs he had managed to capture with them. Six different deer, four female and two different males. All of which had all been found in the wild and had been hell capturing them alive. In fact, it took stunning spells to actual capturing the stags.

Then all the wild animals they had captured, which had actually taken them more time than it had to set up everything in the field to begin with, were all let lose on one side of the lake. The side that was the furthest from the doors that led into the field to begin with.

Not to mention they were all on the side that was warded against them being able to leave, in fact the wards in question stop all the animals on that side of the lake from being able to even get to the other side of the lake.

Both so they wouldn't be able to escape, as a precaution that everyone felt necessary after the difficulty it was capturing them in the first place, and so they wouldn't eat all the food that would eventual be growing on the farm they had set up on the other side of the lake. Even if at the moment there really wasn't much growing on said farm, considering all the seeds in it had only been planted for a week at most.

Not only that but because Daryl had brought it up Harry had also managed to smoke out and successful move two different honey beehives into the fields, each put on opposite side of the field, and each far enough away that no one had to worry about disturbing, and there for being stung, by any of the bees in question. Harry had gotten the bees in question to both help pollenate future flowers or plants, as well as to give the group a source of honey.

It was also something that Harry hadn't even thought of when he had first begun planning all of this, and most likely wouldn't have thought it up at all until it had been brought up to him at a later point; which would have been too late by that point.

Which drove into Harry's mind the fact that he really wouldn't be able to survive whatever was going on by himself, and that it was a good thing he had found both Merle and Daryl before he had started this whole thing out. As he knew things would be a whole lot worse for him in the long run if they weren't there.

It also made Harry realize that in the long run he was most likely going to need more people in his life than just the two brothers. As despite how much they may wish it otherwise, between the three of them they didn't cover all the needed skills to best survive; at least not in the best sense of the word.

But as of now Harry really didn't have anyone else he could trust enough to allow them in as he had the both Merle and Daryl. Harry also knew that in the future that it wouldn't only be his trust the future members of their group was going to have to earn, to get a place within the tent, but both Daryl and Merles as well. Something that would make the task of finding future members of the group just that much harder as those two trusted even less then Harry did at times.

Shaking his head, to clear it as Harry knew that now wasn't the time to think such heavy thoughts, and it wasn't like they had really ran into any other survivors out there, so there really wasn't a point in thinking like that; at least not yet.

So instead Harry began to think back to the other half of the field they had worked on; and had just recently finished for the time being. Or to be more specific, he began to thing on the other animals that were now on what he had taken to calling the farm half of the room.

Which is where the animals they had managed to save from the different farms they had traveled passed. Most of which had either been abandoned and left there to die, or if not that were just about to get attacked walkers; which at one point had most likely been the owners, and family, of said farms.

But being able to stop them had save the animals in question had made Harry grateful for the fact he had magic in the first place otherwise in several cases they would have to ignore the animals in question. As there would be no point in saving them as they'd have no place to actual place said animals. That or said animals would have been left as live bait to keep said walkers off their tails; Harry wasn't sure which would have been worse for him.

These animals where keep separate from the rest, closer to where the farm was, as these were more domesticated animals and were used to being on farm land. Not to mention they were animals Harry really wanted to be closer at hand considering Harry at the time could get more things off them alive instead of dead; unlike most of the other animals on the other side of the lake.

These animals in question were quite few different ones. Starting first with two milking cows that Harry had set up in a fenced in grass area for the time being. With another portion of the fence they were in, yet still separated at the same time, having a calming potion drugged bull in it. A fence that Harry had made sure to key in several cleaning runes into it, to care for the cow pies he knew would be coming.

Not to mention he also made sure have a ward around the Bull part of the fence to keep it as calm as possible and to make it if the bull did charge it wouldn't be able to get out of said fence it was in. As Harry, at the prompting of Merle, had placed several different spells to make sure if the Bull in question did start to charge the fence that said fence would be unbreakable. While at the same time would knock the bull out if it tried; like a slightly more powerful electric fence.

Then there were three pigs they had rescued, which they had actual almost been too late to do, as the owners of the farm had turned walker and had already eaten eight of the pigs that had been there. While the ones Harry had managed to rescue, while both Merle and Daryl had destroyed to walkers in question, had been trapped firmly in the corner of the fence that had once housed them.

What they had managed to rescue was three different pigs, all of varies ages. With the older of the two being around the same age and being two female pigs. While on the other hand the youngest, barely in adulthood, was male. Luckily all the pigs in question didn't need to be suckled or needed a bottle and could eat the feed Harry had also managed to steal from the farm in question alongside the pigs; seeing as the people on the farm weren't going to use it anyway.

Not to mention having something similar such as food seemed to help the pigs in question calm down, even if they did seem to stick to each other and take a sense of both comfort and safety from their fellow pigs more than anything else. Fortunately, while a first they had been utterly terrified when ever any human came close to them, they had gotten used to Daryl, Merle and Harry; at least enough so they didn't squeal in pure terror every time they came close to them.

That being said, when it came to the pigs in question, they were all placed together in their own a pinned in area. As like the cows Harry didn't want to chance them escaping; especially considering one of the females was already pregnant. Had actually been pregnant when they had rescued her.

Something Harry was grateful that he already knew how to care for, at least for the most part, or else things would be a lot worse off for him. Even if he did wish he had someone else to help him through things like that, as why he had taken care of animal's birth before he did it with someone else at his side to make sure he was doing it correctly at that time.

Though at the same time even if did wish he had help, he also knew that it would be easier for him then it would be for anyone else without magic. As unlike them Harry had lots of different spells and rune work to help with the care of animals like both pigs and cows. And that wasn't only when it came to things like feeding or helping animals give birth.

Not that the pigs and cows where the only animals they had managed to safe from the farms they had passed. Seeing as most people either died on the farms in question or fled taking only the bare necessary with them as the did. Leaving the animals either eaten by their owners or if not that to starve to death as very few people actually took the time to free the animals in question before they had fled.

Because of this Harry, Daryl and Merle, also managed to grab, a female goat, and three sheep, sadly all female but at the same time Daryl swore that one of them was pregnant at the moment; so if that was true it'd be a big plus. Especially if the sheep in question gave birth to a male; which for at least a little while could be used to breed further sheep in the future.

Not only that but they now also had a chicken coop, one Merle had built himself to house the six chicken and one muted rooster, that they found at one house. That is after Daryl figured the only reason that they were still alive by the time their group had been able to find them was because the previous owners of the rooster in question had done something so that the rooster couldn't crow any longer. Making it so it wasn't able to attract any walkers to it with said crowing.

However, with these chickens, and all of the other animals they had managed to find during their travels. Ended up meaning that at the moment, Harry, Merle, and Daryl with all the hard working they had been doing for the last week now had a rather renewable source of water, fruit, milk, eggs, meat and even wool. All things they knew would be more valuable than gold had been in the near future.

On top of that they had also gotten started on the farm Harry had wanted to put on the other half of the field; near the farm animals that they had. Giving the three of the chance of future vegetables on top all the other supplies. Even if it may take a while for them to actual get them seeing as the vegetables had just been planted.

Harry had even used his magic to set up a greenhouse of sorts that he was going to use grow his potion ingredients in. As he had found that the fresher the plants used in potions the stronger the potion was, and while he may not be able to replace the more animal-based ingredients easily; there were many different potions made purely from plants. A lot that would be helpful in the future as most healing and different cleaning potions were mainly plant based to begin with.

Not to mention after deciding that at the moment they couldn't really do anything else for the field they had been working on; besides give it time. Both Daryl and Merle had gone with Harry to go through all the things he had stocked up in his tent. Some of which Harry had made sure to give to the two brothers so they could have the necessary supplies they needed on him while they weren't in the tent with him.

Seeing as like Harry both brothers would rather be overprepared then under, and as such still went hunting, still went on supply runs, and still continued to stock up on anything that could prove to be even the slightest bit helpful in the future. More so no the ever before because now they actual had the help of magic to make it so supplies didn't go bad, didn't break, or even weigh them down so much; like they would have otherwise.

What Harry had given the two brothers was, well first he had given each of them their own magical weightless expanding bag to hold everything they needed. Something the two brothers had been wary about first but after hearing what they could do eagerly grabbed them; not giving a damn about charity or anything that as it was about survival. Not to mention, it wasn't charity considering just how much both Daryl and Merle had helped Harry since he had first met them.

The bags in question were the type that slung on the persons side and were the type that were usually used in hunting; so they wouldn't get in the way for either brother. And in those bags Harry got them to pack in quite a bit of different things that they all felt they would need if things took a turn for the worst and the three somehow got separated.

Which with that in mind, Harry made sure the first thing he had them pack away being one of the largest medical kits he had; one for each of them. Along with several potions Harry knew would work on Squibs all of them geared towards healing in one way or another. Something after some grumbling about not needed a mother, and clucking like a hen from Merle, both brothers quickly did.

Then after he made sure the two had those medical supplies, he also made sure that they also had a good chunk of weapons on them at all times, something they had had only been to happy to go along with, as they knew just how important weapons were.

This which included several of the guns he had grabbed over the years, as well as the bullets that came with them. Then there two each of the large blades he had gotten from the time he had been in the forging villages; along with matching four smaller daggers that went with the blades in questions.

After those both brothers, without any urging needed also took several different supplies that could be used to keep all the weapons they had gotten in top condition. Making Harry rather happy, even as he grabbed one of the swords he had gotten and strapped in on his back beside his bow; after all he felt he needed a closer distance weapon as well. One that he would be keeping out at all times as well.

After making sure that they were armed and prepared to help themselves if they did get injured Harry also got them to pack food, water and the things necessary to prepare said food or drinks. By this Harry meant both him and the Dixon brothers made sure to grab plenty of both food and water to store in their bags. With the majority of which that the brother grabbed being things that they could take out without being too suspicious and were nonperishable goods. Such as can goods, like soup, vegetables and fruits. Along with granola bars, ramen, smaller bags of rice, and then several bottles of water; along with a pot to cook in if they needed it.

On top of this they added a several things that would be a bit more suspicious to anyone who wasn't in the known about magic and the wonders of preservation charms. Which is to say they also add bread, milk, eggs, fresh meat, as well as several things of fresh fruit under preservation charms. Which Harry knew they would eat when there wasn't anyone else around them; to avoid questions they wouldn't answer.

And that was just what they had grabbed from the stuff they had on hand at the farm. What they had also grabbed from the storage, was sodas, beer, several things of chocolate as well as a couple things of instant coffee. Along several other things they hadn't thought they would get a chance to try again considering the world seemed to be ending. Things that Harry felt in the future some people might actual kill to get.

Then as a just in case, as every single one of the members of there group, be it Merle, Daryl or Harry himself, had always learned to prepare for the worst. They packed away everything else that they felt could been needed if something did come up. This was things like several pairs of clothes each for them. And this was clothes for both warmer weather as well as the cooler weather that they all knew was going to be coming their way sooner or later.

On top of this they also had two pairs of boots each in the bags; as they knew and shared the importance of good foot ware with Harry. They then added their old tents into their bags, along with several other vital camping gear such as flints, thick thermal blankets, several packs of matches to go along with the flints they had. Before added a long cord of rope each, not to mention some magical protected and reinforced Tarps. Seeing as even when the world hadn't gone to hell, Ropes and tarps where things that could be lifesaving; if used right.

Then there were the Lanterns and flashlights that were added to the bag next. As while light might attract walkers to them, not being able to see if walkers were around you was that much worse. So, the light was needed, especially when you consider just how dark it would get now that there wasn't cities or electricity to lighten places up. Though at the same time all three of them knew that the lights would have to be used with care, as they were pretty much calling cards informing anyone who may be looking that someone was out there.

The three of them made sure that they all bags like this because they all knew that there was a chance that they may get separated from each other and Harry wanted to make sure that both Merle and Daryl had had supplies on the chance that that did happen. Both because they had helped him so much, and because they had grown on him quite a while, as he did feel like he could trust them with his life; despite how short a period they had known each other for.

Besides each one of them felt better when they knew that the were at least partially prepared for what may come their way. Though at the same time considering just what kind of safety Harry's tent offered the three of them, they weren't that eager to leave that behind; so would be doing their best to not get separated to begin with.

At the same time if they did end up being separated both brothers felt a little better with the bags they now had, not to mention the fact that Harry swore he would be attempting to make the tents they had similar to what his was.

Even if at the moment he didn't know how to completely do everything his tent did have. Mainly only the expansion charms, the runes that would let it have water, stay heated and a few of the protection wards Harry's had. Which despite how powerful Harry was wouldn't be as strong as the ones Harry had on his tent because they wouldn't be goblin made. Though they would be pretty close considering the sheer amount of magic Harry could put into the wards in question. Though doing so would leave Harry drained and unable to use his magic for several days; so that wouldn't be happening until they all felt safe enough to stop moving for more than a week.

Besides it wasn't like Harry couldn't afford to spare any of these things he gave to the others. Especially as they were some of the few people he had learned to trust, and at that trusted him in return; at least to a degree that Harry wasn't afraid they'd betray him.

Not that they had any reason to do so at the moment, as Harry felt they wouldn't betray him until he did something that betrayed them first. Say what you will about the Dixon brother's but once you earned their hard-earned trust, you'd keep it until you do something to loss it.

And again, it wasn't like it was hurting Harry in the least bit to give them the things he did. Seeing as Harry found that after sorting everything he had gathered throughout a several year period was that he had a lot more things then he had originally believed he had; a lot of which was several items of the same thing. And that was when you didn't consider the fact that Harry could very easily magic a copy of any item he had. As long as it wasn't a food of some sort as magic wasn't able to create food of any sort.

In fact, by the time the group of three had finished going through everything they had, as Harry had no intentions of not sharing with the brothers who had already done so much to help him already. Not to mention said brothers had already started to add the supplies they had gathered among everything Harry already had; knowing without the words that Harry thought all his supplies theirs as well.

In the end all the supplies Harry had stocked up on was so numerous that they even after they had gone through it all and had it all neatly organized into different piles. Everything that he had still filled one of the storage rooms that was expanded to the max. And that was from top to bottom as well as side to side packed.

When it came to just what Harry had well, it'd be easy to say he could fill stores like Walmart with all he did have; and then most likely still have more supplies to spare. Well, except for electronics seeing as Harry hadn't gotten any thing like that seeing as he knew magic didn't work well around electric items.

While strangely enough it worked pretty well when it came to battery operated items; as long as no one tried to use magic directly on said items that is. Unless certain runes had been carved into the items in question to allow them to accept the magic in question that is. Something Harry had been, and still was, working on.

Still the supplies that Harry now had was now currently divided in to four main categories. One being food and water, the second being clothes and shoes, the third being weapons while the final category being only what the group decided to call the others; which was a combination of everything that didn't fall in the other categories.

In the first category of food and water, Harry was happy to say that he felt he had enough to feed everyone in Hogwarts for an entire year. And that was considering the fact that Hogwarts pretty much had an all you can eat buffet every time they feed anyone meant that there was plenty of food saved up. Not only that but Harry was also included the drinks he had in there as well.

Considering the fact that not only did Harry have stack after stack of cases of water bottles or jugs of water, but he also had case after case of drinks like butterbeer or fire whisky. Alongside box after box filled with canned soda, that was in itself alongside the large litter bottles of soda he also had. Which were all under charms to keep them as fresh as possible.

Harry had also included the different unopen drink mixes he had in this, as Harry had boxes of instant coffee, lemonade mix, as well as at least a hundred different Kool-Aid mixes. Honestly looking at all the food and drinks he had Harry felt like he was staring in an overly packed storage from one of the largest supermarkets out there.

Not only that but Harry also had the ingredients to make other food as well. Things like flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and everything like that. Meaning that as long as he had his tent, and the stove inside it, Harry could very easy replace anything he did decide to make use of. Especially as Harry really knew how to cook as he had spent nearly his entire life doing so for his so-called family.

That is to say Harry had so much food and water, both perishable and under several different preservation spells, as well as nonperishable, that he knew there was no chance in hell he was going to run out of food anytime soon; even if the majority of that was because of the spells he had keep said food in the best condition.

Because even if he didn't want to admit it the majority of the food in question that he did have was utterly perishable, like meats, bread and other similar things. Food that most other people wouldn't have been able to save as long as he had been able to. And that considering the fact nearly half the meat in question had been meat he had hunted down for food. Meaning he knew that without his magic, he wouldn't have as nearly as much as he did and would most likely be as despite as everyone else was when it came to having food.

Harry figured he had gotten the majority of this during the time he had been pretty much emptying on the mom and pop shops he found that had been going out of business because of the bigger business around them. Bigger business that soon found themselves robbed not long after if Harry found out they had been running the others out of business purposely or just spitefully; so a good deal also came from that as well.

Which made Harry wonder if he should now feel guilty about the fact he had utterly emptied out those stores when he robbed them. Because by doing so he had taken out supplies other people most likely now urgently needed now. That is, he did wonder that, before Harry shrugged and figured that most of those people in question didn't survive the first wave of the walking dead virus anyway, and the fact he'd be putting whatever had stolen to good use anyway. So, he shouldn't bother thinking about the maybes and what ifs or he'd drive himself insane.

When it came to the second category of clothes and shoes, this was another category that had more than plenty in it; not to mention it was clothing from all over the world. And at the same time, it was one of the categories that earned Harry some very strange looks from both Merle and Daryl. Especially as they saw just what was in this category. At least until Harry explained the fact how he had gotten a lot of the clothes and shoes in question.

Both from the stores he had emptied because they had reminded him of his now dead family, about the supermarket he had pretty much emptied after he had stolen everything from them after meeting the owner.

Not to mention the fact he and traded several things in many of the different villages he had gone through during his travels. Trades which Harry had done because the fact he had been interested in the item in question and because he felt he would be able to trade it for something more valuable to him at a later date in in travels; which obviously hadn't happened yet.

Because of all of this when it came to said clothes, as well as the shoes, Harry found himself having enough to easily open a large clothing store if he wanted to. With different types of clothing from all over the world, for both genders and for most ages as well.

Which was one of the main reason Harry had gotten such looks from the two brothers to begin with. Seeing as Harry had both female, as well as baby clothing, for all seasons on top of the more masculine clothing that both Merle and Daryl had expected him to have. Which they found really odd as Harry had no reason what so ever to have either female or children's clothing to begin with.

Though on that note when it did come to female clothes Harry didn't have really dressy female clothes, or many dresses in the female side of the clothing for that matter. Though there were a couple of looser summer dresses in there, alongside several lovely Kimonos.

Instead Harry mainly had, different types of pants, or shorts, geared to the more feminine gender along with t-shirts, long sleeved shirts and sweaters. With a few skirts, leggings, and tights thrown in there.

Not to mention he also had, to his utter embarrassment as he hadn't even noticed he had added them to the bag, after he most likely stole them from certain stores, undergarments as well as different types of nightwear. Included things such as bras, underwear of varying types and the far more acceptably things like socks.

The same could be said for the shoes that Harry had as well. He really didn't have any of what most would consider those high heeled death traps. As Harry honestly so no point in them, even before the world had gone to hell. Instead Harry mainly had different types of sneakers or hiking boots that were made for both male and females.

In fact, most of the shoes Harry had were mainly made with either running or hiking in mind. Made with survival in mind for that matter. Or at least most of them were, Harry did find he also had a couple pairs of very comfortable flipflops as well as several different types of slippers; in both genders.

Something that all the clothes, as well as shoes, in question, be they male, female, children's or even babies, had in common between them was that they all had ranged for different types of weather. Meaning that Harry, when it came to clothes, was prepared for any type of weather that may come their way; something Harry was grateful for. As he knew what it was like to wear clothes that weren't suited for the weather around them and he never really wanted to do so again. T-shirt were not made for winter in the least bit; especially not overly large hole filled t-shirts at that.

As for the third category, when it comes to weapon, this was the groups favorite pile to go through. Or at least the one that was getting the most use at the time considering that at the moment the three where simply hunting and eating the hunts instead of the food they currently had stored.

After all, if they save the stuff they had now for later, when it was needed and when hunting was no longer an option. As everything was either hiding for the winter or had already been eaten by the walkers that would eventual make their way through said forest looking for prey of they own. Even if they all knew the chance of them actually running out of food was really low; they all wanted to make sure if they had to the food in question could last years. Seeing as neither, Harry or the Dixon brothers thought that what was going on, was going to stop any time soon.

Which meant that at the moment the weapons were getting the most use, both for hunting animals and as well as taking out the for now very few walkers that were making their way through the woods the three were currently traveling through.

Sadly, when it came to weapons while they did have a lot it was one of the smaller, if not the smallest category out of everything. But when you consider just how much was in every other category there was in the things they had, Harry figured that wasn't necessary a bad thing as they still had a lot of different types of weapons.

Especially when you consider the fact that Harry had figured he was fascinated by all types of blades pretty earlier on in his earlier travels and usually got at least one type of weapon in everyone of his stops around the world.

Not to mention the fact Harry had taken all the weapons he had in all his family vaults when he originally left the wizarding world. Which when you consider that all of said families were all ancient ones and were ones around during times where weapons were regularly used alongside magic, meant Harry had quite a number of different weapons on his side. Both magical as well as mundane.

This meant that when it came to the weapons he had, Harry had, plenty of different types of blades. Ranging from daggers, short swords, katannas, a bastard sword that Harry now had on his back at all times. Along with a good number of other one handed or even two-handed swords.

In fact, once counted Harry had over a hundred different types of blades, and that wasn't including the numerous amount of throwing daggers or even Kunis he currently had. Which Harry, as well as Daryl had shown to be rather skilled in when it came to actually throw them and hitting dead center. Which Harry figured was helped by the fact they already had good hand eye coordination due to the bow and arrow they both regularly used.

On top of that Harry also had several different guns, of varies sizes from hand guns, to guns like snipper guns; which Harry would freely admit he had stolen from the back of one of the more heavily guarded stores he had robbed. All with cases of bullets that go with them.

Though as the same time while he did have a selection of guns it was not nearly as many as he had blades. As Guns hadn't fascinated Harry as much as the blades did. Not to mention the guns weren't an unlimited source of protection as Harry knew that the bullets in said guns could run out rather quickly.

Though at the time Harry was rather happy that his magic could copy the bullets; even if it was rather draining to do so as despite how they looked the bullets where a rather difficult to copy. And when he did so he could only do so many at a time. So, it was something he couldn't do all that often.

Nor did he really want to as Harry would freely admit while they were helpful, extremely so at times, he honestly didn't like using the guns nearly as much as the blades he had. Not to mention he wasn't nearly as skilled in them as he was with his blades or bow and arrows.

Speaking of his Bow and Arrow, Harry also had some weapons that didn't qualify as either blades or guns; like his bow and arrow set. Seeing as several places he had gone hadn't used blades or guns as weapons. But still at the same time fascinated Harry enough that he had gotten the weapons in question while learning the bare basics about said weapons. These weapons weren't just cool looking but functional; as they were weapons not toys. But at the same time, unless he took some serious time to learn how to use them Harry didn't seem them being very helpful in what was currently going on. Well, besides his bow and arrow set that is.

These weapons in question were things such as several different spear of varying lengths, two large battle axes, a chained scythe, as well as a full-length grim reaper like scythe; that Harry was seriously debating learning how to use just for the irony of it all.

Then there was the stranger and more questionable weapons such as a bladed whip, a giant boomerang like weapon, giant hammers, and large battle fan. All really interesting to look and attention grabbing but useless unless someone was highly skilled with said weapons, which Harry, nor either brother really was. Making it so the weapons in question really wasn't helpful in the current situation.

Though Merle did look rather interested in learning more on the battle axe/hammer combination Harry had. Which given Merle's nature Harry was really tempted to let the man just have, as he could really see him getting close and personal with any walkers he came a crossed. And then successfully escaping them all after he crushed them all under said axe/hammer combination. Yes, Harry could really see the man getting highly skilled with said weapon in a short period of time.

At the same time, because he was beginning to general care about the man in question, and seeing him as both a friend as well as someone he could trust to cover his back Harry didn't want the man to use the weapon in question until he got a little more practice with it; which meant for the time being until the found a place where they all wanted to stop at it wasn't going to happen. Though Merle was going to get that weapon, one way or another, he just needed to get a place where he could get used to the weight of said weapon.

At the same time even with the weapons he wasn't sure were going to be helpful in the long run, Harry did feel safer knowing he had said weapons to begin with. As even having a weapon that might be pretty useless was better than being completely unarmed altogether. As worse came to worse the weapon in question could be used to slow whatever was chasing you by throwing it at them.

Best yet, all of these weapons in question were all things he had after he had supplied both Daryl as well as Merle with the weapons they wanted; well besides the one weapon Merle was still eyeing. Meaning at the moment the trio in the tent had plenty of weapons to defend themselves with.

Then the final category of everything else, that didn't fall into the other categories. Which because it included so many different things was actually the largest category out of all the others. This category included things such as all the medical supplies he had gotten over the year. Which now that Harry looked at it, looked like he had enough to supply a hospital. Something Merle joked to him about, wondering aloud if Harry really felt he was that clumsy.

At least he did until he found a little bit more about Harry's past and then he didn't joke about it anymore only respected the fact Harry wants to be so prepared. A respect that Harry noticed that Daryl seemed to give him as well, and at the same time a respect that made Harry wonder if the two brothers had suffered something similar to what he had during his childhood. Not that he asked, as he knew his child wasn't something, he himself wanted to talk about; so why would others want to if he didn't.

Not only were they medical supplies in this section but there was also, things like toilet paper as Harry really didn't want to make a mistaken with a poison oak leaf, thank you very much; he'd seen it happen and didn't want to have that happen to him. That being said Harry had a full wall of nothing but toilet paper to stop that. Which was something Merle seemed to find utterly hilarious for some reason; while Daryl not so much.

There were also things such as Bathing supplies, such as soaps, shampoos, conditioner as well as toothpaste, mouthwash and toothbrushes. As Harry knew from person experiences how filthiness could make you more likely to catch an illness of some sort. And that by being clean you could prevent yourself from being sick. On that note, he also had tons of medicine for colds and other such things. Both magical as well as muggle made medicine; which he put mainly with the other medical supplies he had.

There was also a good amount of survival gear in this part of the room, with things such as, rope, which could be used for tying things down, escaping places, climbing down or up places. Something that harry had felt would be good if he ever needed to escape somewhere.

He also had night vision goggles, several pairs that Harry had actually gotten to see if he could find a way to work them on magic. Which was how Harry had learned that in some case runes could be used on battery operated items. As when it came to the night vison goggles, he had rather successfully in adapting them to magic. As he had managed to make it so the goggles in question could all be repaired by magic, was powered by a magical rune, and could now work on land as well as underwater.

There were also several pairs of Binoculars that Harry had gotten during his travels, something he had actually been talked into getting during his hunting trip with several others, and something Harry had gotten more than one of as he didn't want to need them and have the only pair he had be broken. Because yes, Harry knew his luck and yes, he tried his best to be prepared for when it took a turn for the worse. Something that had actual saved his life quite a few times now.

In fact, Harry had gotten quite a bit of things in the beginning after getting suggestions from others. And then more himself as he learned about what was best type of survival gear to have during your travels.

This included Several boxes of both flints as well as matches because Harry knew that there would be times that he wasn't able to use his magic to light a fire, and he wanted to be prepared for that as possible. Something that had proven useful to Harry as he did have to use the flints to start fires in the past. As there had been several times during his travels when a hiker stumbled on his camp before in the past; and he hadn't been able to use magic to lit the fires he needed then because of that.

Not only that but this category also had thing like shovels and other farming gear that he had grabbed off the abandon farms they had passed; alongside the animals they had managed to save. Most of which Harry debated leaving on the farm they now had before deciding that for the moment it was all good where it was. As at least now they knew exactly where it was if they did need it.

The next things they had sorted out, and stored, in the last category was the baby supplies he had gotten from the baby and me store he had bought out. This included things such as baby carriages, what looked like baby backpacks of some sort, strollers, crib, soft baby blankets, bottles, baby bathtub and plenty of both baby formula as well as food. Not to mention several different baby toys made for teething or bathing. Anything that had been in the store, that was needed for taking care of a baby, was now sorted away and stored with all the other baby supplies.

Then as there some of the smaller, but no less numerous, things he had grabbed to use to fight off boredom while he had nothing to do. This was things such as a lot of fictional books, several puzzles with different levels of difficulty. As well as coloring books, notebooks, art supplies, such as such as pens pencils, paints and markers, all things Harry hadn't actually even used yet despite having for over a year.

Then there was the wood carving supplies that he had grabbed from the art community as he had wanted to learn more about it. Which was something he noticed Daryl looked really interesting in. which made Harry wonder if Daryl knew how to carve wood and if so if he would be willing to teach him more about it. Because Harry got the feeling that Daryl was good at wood carving.

Maybe if Harry taught Daryl to make potions in return for teaching him more about wood carving, he'd be more interested in teaching him in return? Because Harry knew Squibs like both Merle and Daryl were able to make potions. And potions seemed like something the two would be interesting in learning how to make as potions was a valuable skill to have; especially in times like this. Not to mention Harry got the feeling that Daryl had the patients and skills needed to be good at potions. Something Harry swore he'd bring up to both brothers at a later point; rather Daryl wanted to teach him more on wood carving or not.

After the art supplies had been put away there were the more outer door supplies Harry had. Which included things like Bikes, skateboards, his boat, fishing poles, fishing nets, and hunting snares. As well as several different magical adjusted hiking bags; some Harry had made himself. Along with swiss army knives, compasses, flashlights, lanterns as well as several pots and pans.

At the same time all these supplies, as well as the fact he had two different people he could trust around him, remind Harry of all the good fortune had. Something that was actually making Harry feel rather hopeful for their future; for once.

However, because of what he knew about his luck Harry was feeling rather nervous because he was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop. Because so far things had been going rather well for them; at least considering just what was going on around them.

Meaning sooner or later it would have to come crashing down on their heads. And sure enough, at least in Harry's head, soon after they had gotten everything temporarily settled in what was now the three of theirs tent. Things started to go bad and seemed to get worse from there.

In fact, it all started to happen after the three of them had found a higher ground place to set up their newest temporary camp at. It was a place that had a rather large lake near it as well as plenty of forest to be hunting in, the only down side was it wasn't too far away from a rather large city meaning they had to be wary about Walkers coming down from said city.

Which was why they had set up several different alerts around them to let them know if any walkers were coming their way; both magical as well as mundane. This was when Harry felt the luck they had been having so far turn for the worst as after one of the alert systems, several small bells tied around lower to the ground that would make enough noise to let anyone know that there was something coming this way, sounded off.

Causing all of them to jump and arm themselves. Seeing as that was the first, and admittedly weakest warning system they had. But at the same time something that had helped them several times before. So, it was one they always tried to put up when they were going to stay somewhere for more than a couple of days.

Only to find out, when they went to see just what was setting off said alarm system, that there was a group of people taking down the alarm system they had set up not even a day ago. Or to be more précises there was an older man wearing a police uniform of some sort, taking down the bells while a dark-haired woman and her preteen son watched him take everything down.

This of course hadn't gone over well with either Daryl or Merle whom had immediately demanded to know what they hell they thought they were doing. And the response to that had Harry's own spine stiffening in response himself, as the one that Harry had eventual found out had been called, Shane had all but mockingly told the three.

"I'm taking down the dinner bells here. If you had any sense, you'd know sound attracts those monsters." Then Harry watched as this Shane ignoring the fac that Harry, Daryl and Merle had been the original ones there, decided to attempt to take over the camping grounds that the three had been on.

Attempting as, when Shane tried to command either Harry, Daryl or Merle he found himself utterly ignored or if not that thrown straight on his ass. Before being told that they were here first, and there was no way in hell that any of them were going to listen to him. Though this didn't stop Shane, or even the woman whom was apparently called Lori, from attempting to command them.

Starting first with the fact after seeing the camp that Daryl, Merle and Harry had already set up before they had even arrived, Lori tried to head straight in Harry tent. Saying something about how good it was to share supplies with others and how a real gentleman would let a lady like her have the safer, larger tent. Only for Daryl to step in front of said tent before Harry could do anything and tell Lori.

"Well good thing we're not gentlemen isn't it. There's no way your getting in our tent. We don't know you from any other jack or Jill out there and we don't have to share anything of ours with ya." After this was said Shane had attempted to muscle in by saying if they didn't want to share, they didn't have to stay.

Only to be brought up short both because it was pointed out the fact the three had been there first, and the fact the three where much better armed then he was, so there was no way he could force the three to actual leave if they didn't want to. Something Merle seemed to take joy in as he regularly cleaned the rifle he had right in front of Shane and the others; from in front of the tent.

After that things only seemed to steadily get worse, with the only reason Daryl, Merle and Harry had even stayed where they were was because there were children in the camping spot now. That and the fact that none of the adults seemed to have even the slightest clue as to what to do now that they were in the wilds.

And by children, instead of the single child Carl like it had been at first, was because several more groups had joined the groups that were already there. As it seemed that this place was one of the more ideal camping grounds that was around this area. Something Harry had no idea about when they had first stopped there, otherwise they might not have stopped there to begin with.

These groups as Daryl, Merle, and Harry found out after observing them for a while, as they all seemed to be wary about actually introducing themselves to everyone else that was making camp there; at least in the beginning they were.

Well the second group that had joined them after Shane, Lori and her son Carl, had been A family of three called the Peleters. which consisted of Ed, the father, Coral the mother, and their preteen daughter Sophia. This was a group that had Harry Merle and Daryl spitting mad as it was very obvious that Ed was abusive to his wife, and because of the others the three couldn't do anything do anything without scaring Coral away.

Something the three didn't want to do as they knew if Ed did decide to take off with both his wife and daughter, they would both most likely end up dead before the week was up. Either by walkers or by the hand of Ed himself.

So, knowing this the three could only bit their tongues and wait for the opportune moment. While all the while doing what little they could to help both Carl and Sophia, as they subtly putting the fear of god in to Ed with a little help from magic.

The next group that had come was another group of three, though this group wasn't an actual family but a group that had group together earlier for survival sakes. Well to be more precise two of them were related, being a pair of sisters, while the last was an older man whom seemed to be starting to see the two former sisters as almost his daughters; or something similar to that. The members of this group were called, Dale, whom was the eldest and only male of these particular group, Andrea who seemed to be the eldest sister and highly protective of her little sister, Amy; both who seemed to have a close bond with each other.

The next to come was a single man, whom to Harry seemed to actually be one of the more prepared out of everyone and seemed to be the one who had done regular supply runs. Something Harry could tell from the way he talked about how to get in and out of the city was knew by. At the same time this seemed to be one of the few out of everyone there that had gotten even a shiver of respect from the brothers he was traveling with; even if they didn't visible show it much. This person was called Glenn.

After that there had been several other groups that had joined, and it was starting to become too crowded for Harry to be around them for long periods of time. Nor could he bring himself to care too much about any of the others as they were starting to blend together as Harry began to wonder why he was staying around this group. Especially as none of them seemed to have much of a survival instinct as they seemed to act like this whole thing was going to be over soon and treated what they were doing similar to a camping trip of some sort.

It was something that Harry could see was also starting to frustrate Merle, and Daryl as well. As they, along with him, had taken to going out on more and more hunting trips. Though at the same time the fact that they now seemed to be feeding all of the group with their hunting trips also seemed to contribute to the fact they were always constantly hunting.

Though they did have to always leave one of them with their tent as Lori had was always constantly trying to take it over and claim it as her's for some reason or another. Not to mention Shane had attempt on more then one occasion to go inside the tent to claim all the supplies that were supposedly in it as a 'group' supplies. Which funnily enough were all with him, and he had complete control over all 'group' supplies.

Currently Harry had decided to pack up his tent and had gone with both bothers on a hunt. Not being able to bring himself to be around the rest of people crowding around the camping ground; feeling that if he did stay, he'd go insane.

Not only that but Harry also want to speak to the two brothers about a small idea he had; one that would hopeful give the three a small break from everything they had to do. Though he had to remind himself that the main reason he was still with the group was because of the children as he did so. As unfortunately Harry found himself falling back into his number state now that he was surrounded more and more people.

Once they were in the forest and far enough away from everyone else that they couldn't be heard. Not that Harry thought they would as the rest of the group seemed to do what ever the could to avoid the three of them, despite the fact they most likely would be utterly starving if it had been for them. Still once they were a good distance from everyone else Harry turned to both Daryl and Merle before bringing up the plan he had. One that seemed to be one the brothers had as well if the looks on their face after Harry spoke meant anything.

"I think we should give the group some of our supplies. Just enough for the kids at the very least. We can act like we went on an exhausting supply run, where we just happened to happen on a hidden room or something like that and give them the supplies. Which should keep the group happy for a little while, giving us some time to actual rest of a bit. As well as perhaps work on the farm a little bit more to see how things are going on. Because if things keep going on the way they are with the group I swear I'm going to snap at them." This seemed to be something Daryl agreed with, while Merle simply snorted about a waste of supplies, but at the same time didn't argue against it as Harry set up this tent once more so they could go with his plan.

So, knowing this both Harry and Daryl got to work with the supplies they had deiced to give the group. To do this both Harry and Daryl each grabbed one of the least magically adjusted bookbags that Harry had; which were only spelled to be slightly larger on the inside as well as a bit lighter then it would normal be.

Then begin to grab some supplies to give to them, supplies they'd tell the others they just happened to 'find' them, because of as right now there was no way Harry would trust anything of them with the fact he had magic. Not with the level of distrust or disgust they had been showing either him or the brothers he had been traveling with.

What ended up going in each of these bags was, well in Daryl's bag he quickly decided to place food int here first. Knowing to grab things like several cans of soup, a few cans of fruit, ten cans of vegetables, five bags of beef jerky, a good fifteen bags of ramen, three boxes of shells and cheese, as well as a good fifteen bottles of water.

Then because he knew it'd soften some of the people toward them, not to mention save him some headaches in the early morning, Daryl also placed three containers of instant coffee in the bag as well.

By then the bag in question was starting to get pretty full so he decided to throw in a large container of oatmeal and container of honey to take up the rest of the room. Making the bag in question filled with nothing but food.

Seeing this Harry decided that since Daryl's bag had nothing but food in it, his was going to have other necessary and if most of them were geared more towards the children of the group, well he always did have a softer spot for kids and it was the kids he was staying for anyway.

That being said, the things that Harry grabbed to put in the bag he had were, three thicker child size blankets, a small pink preteen fall jacket, followed by several blue and red teen sized hoodies. After that Harry grabbed a few fantasy books, five puzzles, a box of art supplies, a sketch book, several bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner, as well as various rolls of toilet paper. Then seeing that the bag was also getting rather full, grabbed one of the medium sized first aide kits he had; which was large enough that it actually hung a little out of the bag it was in.

Once he had all of these Harry both he and Daryl quickly headed out of the tent to join Merle. Whom had been waiting outside for them to make sure no one, be it walker or otherwise, was able to sneak up on them.

As soon as they were out of the tent Harry quickly packed it back up. Before grabbing his weapons back up to go for the hunt they said they were going on to begin with. The meat from the hunt they were going, plus the bags they had should be enough to keep the others off their backs for at least the next two days; or at least Harry hoped it would.

Otherwise he might have to bring out some of the bigger things they had, like perhaps talking the brothers into taking one of the larger deer's they had already hunted down, and preserved earlier, to the group in question.

Surely that keep them quite for a while, right? Especially if they just handed them the deer and told them to gut it themselves; since apparently Harry Daryl and Merle weren't doing anything to help the group anyway. At least according to the whining Lori did to Shane, with them in clear hearing distance, they weren't.
