Morgan Micro Fiction
exartiem:
So that would imply that Morgan's mission took several years or Morgan was napping.
Kindler:
No, it's that he looked for Harry for years, but couldn't find him. He arrived at the scene of Malcolm's death 10 hours after Malcolm died. Harry was taken without a trace. Morgan couldn't find him for years, though he looked, and didn't see Harry again until after the White Council captured him post-Justin duel.
exartiem:
He said he arrived 10 hours after Harry went into foster care, not 10 hours after Malcolm died. We just established that there's several years between.
So then this suggests that Morgan knew Justin was looking for Harry, too, and just got to him first. I wouldn't imagine it would take Morgan 4 years to find Harry. Justin, yes, if he didn't know Malcolm had been killed. But if Morgan knew of Malcolm's death within hours then he should have been able to track Harry down by claiming to the cops that he was a friend of Malcolm's.
If Harry disappeared that soon after Malcolm died, then that should have proven to Morgan that it was a murder.
morriswalters:
Since Malcolm was a single father with no other known family, Harry would have went into care upon Malcolm's death. The passage implies without stating it, that Morgan had a way to track him that was blocked. This because the text calls out three specific ways he searched. Magically, physically, bureaucratically.
According to the time line Harry was in care for four years. He manifests his magic at ten and is adopted by Justin shortly thereafter. There is no text that shows that Justin had contact with Harry prior to his adoption. Justin appears to have been only an animal trainer. We have only support for Morgan finding out about Justin after his death.
There are two people to date who have hooks in the bureaucracy that we are aware of. Lara and Marcone, but Marcone hadn't yet come to power at that point. And the White Council as a group. There is only one group known to be able to shield against searches by magic without a circle. The Fae. Three young people in the books to date have been manipulated while in care, in some fashion. Elaine, Harry and Molly.
Bad Alias:
Morgan arrived 10 hours after Harry went into the foster care system. I don't expect Morgan to go into the details of the system of care for orphans, so I'm assuming he just means from the custody of first responders to the child care system. I imagine that could easily take a couple of hours. Justin wasn't a foster father. He adopted Harry. Foster care is generally considered temporary. Adoption is permanent.
