His polished black shoes clicked across the floor as he strode into the hide out where his most precious female friends were being held captive.

His cane tapped into place on his right, his hand holding it firmly as his other was busy adjusting the monocle over his eye just under his top hat snuggled firmly upon his head.

His attention then swept the few Death Eaters that were staring in a bit of shock at the appearance of their leader's most hated foe.

"My good sirs. I believe that you have placed my most precious female friends into an undesirable situation. As a good English Gentleman I cannot allow such a thing to continue on. As such, I come here to implore with you to possibly release them from this horribly captivity. If you refuse, then I will have no other choice but to have at you."

The Death Eaters stared for about two more seconds and then burst into roaring laughter. Knowing that Lord Voldemort would be most displeased if they killed the boy, the current head of their group fired of a Cruciatus Curse instead, willing the boy to feel waves of torture instead.

Hermione and Luna could only look on in their bound and gagged state as Harry stumbled towards the ground, his monocle falling free, only for him to catch himself and steady himself.

With what looked like mild displeasure on his face, Harry produced an aura of overbearing anger towards the men, his even voice ripping into their souls just the slightest as his hand replaced his monocle in a dignified manner.

"I'm afraid that I will not scream nor fall. For a true Gentleman could never allow himself to do so in the presence of a lady. As you have thrown down the gauntlet in this fight I have no choice but to accept your duel my good sirs."

Slowly, as if he had all the time in the world even with the Curse riffling through his body, Harry grasped a cigar box from inside of his pocket. Popping it open revealed his wand neatly place which he gingerly took.

It was time for him to show how true Gentlemen fight.

This is not an Uber!Harry story. Harry has no further advantages that he doesn't have in canon.

For Seiya! A continuation!

********

The Death Eaters snickered at the thought of Harry being anything more than a little boy. Not taking his proclamation seriously at all, the lead Death Eater fired off a simple disarming spell so as to bring him in unharmed to Lord Voldemort. But it was surprisingly blocked by a simple slash of the cane.

While Harry was dissipating the spell with his cane, his own wand was firing off a simple, fast hex to bewilder his opponent into dropping the first curse he had cast.

Harry followed this by striding towards one of the lackeys, as running would not be befitting, positioning the stunned leader between the remaining lackey. As he walked forward, Harry spun the cane in his hand as the lackey began to raise his wand in response to the thread, but Harry swept his cane so that the curved top would go directly into the man's arm.

Unused to physical combat from wizards, the man was slow to react to this and his arm caught the blow fully underneath his shoulder. His entire arm fell numb and he couldn't stop his fingers from releasing his wand to the floor below. Desperate at losing his only means of combat, the man dove to the ground.

But this was a larger mistake as it left his head in perfect position to receive the next strike from the cane; blood spurting as he harshly joined his wand upon the ground.

During this, the other lackey had managed to get around his boss during the time to fire off his own dastardly spell, but it landed on an already prepared protection spell put together by Harry as he was eloquently beating the blood out of his first opponent.

Putting his protection in place, Harry had also rolled his head slightly to cause his top hat to fall towards the ground. He carefully kicked it towards the other man, who shifted his focus to the hat for only a moment. But it was more than enough time to blind the man to allow the Harry to fire a disabling hex into the man's wide open chest.

Rotating his hand so the handle rested in his left hand, Harry casually walked to his hat so he may retrieve it as it wasn't proper for a gentleman to have mismanaged attire for too long. But as he walked by the head Death Eater, he found his cane being grabbed firmly just below his own grip and pulled in close to the man.

"Got you, you little piece of shit!" While it looked like a bad situation, Harry only had to respond by angling the cane a bit so he man free the sword of Gryffindor from inside of its casing, using the drawing motion to slash the blade across the man's throat.

"Given irrefutable evidence stating otherwise, I would have to respectably disagree my crass friend."

Is the cane that big, or is the sword shrunken?

The average length of a sword that the Gryffindor sword would be is about three feet.

Though the fact that Harry wielded it without too much difficulty as a kid leads me to think that it might have been slightly shorter.

As for it being a little over-sized. Most Gentleman type of canes tend to be slightly longer than regular canes.

It's a magic sword, it has a pre-signed excuse note to violate physics. :)

*shrugs* either way I have no reason to believe it would be more than 3 feet in length. Which given this would take place around 5th/6th year the cane would only be slightly over-sized for him. Which is fine as it is a gentleman's cane.

Or he could just be transfiguring it to look like a cane when it's not. Magic can create possibilities as well as deny them.

Dunno if the sword could be transfigured because of its special properties.

Either way, I'm just keeping it disguised as a sword cane for now. The length works.

I always pictured the sword being wider in my head. I look it up and it looks like its from several hundred years after Griffindor was around.

Aside from that, the crossguard is an issue. Or did Harry dis-assemble a priceless relic to put it in his cane?

Nah, it's still there. It's just been disguised to look like it is a part of the design for the cane's top. Well all of the hilt and such as been as well as the gems and such would really stand out.

I didn't go into the actual design of it as I didn't think it was needed to other than he is using it as a gentleman's cane and it has a curved top which is part of the disguise.

I don't think it really detracts from the story.

What doesn't? The design of the cane?

I didn't put it down because it isn't important. I mean he could easily have just used magic to do it. I have no plans on going into the exact details of things because the way I see things will work for the plan.

It's really up to the reader to think about the details more if they want to. I'm leaving it mostly ambiguous otherwise. If you thinking "He used magic to make it work." then I guess that's fine as long as it works for you.

I'm just stating what I personally see it as. That he didn't work any real magic on the sword because I don't know if that type of magic would work on the sword given its properties.

The only real modification is that it has a curved top just like a regular cane. And that it is a gentleman style cane which isn't used for support but more for balance or just looking bitchin.

If I had to go with a particular design he used to incorporate the guard into the cane, it would most likely be angelic in nature, or something wolfish.

It is a magic sword in the hands of an hero teen. You don't get to complain unless it is sevn feet tall and ten inches wide. And even then, you only can complain for non-anime hero teens.

Grantes, in this fic Harry seems to have lost his emo-ness, which probably lowers his Big Sword Allowance Ratio by a ful ten percent.

I would expect this version of Harry to provide a sound thrashing to the miscreant who dares call himself "Lord" Voldemort. Imagine, trying to self style yourself a Lord. It's just not done.

The thought of Harry Potter: Gentleman Adventurer makes me giggle.

Nice hat recovery, as anyone knows that any plan where you lose your hat is a bad plan.

Losing the hat is part of the plan. Regaining the hat is the purpose of the plan.
