Being able to just go out and curb stomp baddies from the get-go would be like heaven to her.

Plus -- that's what Dresden did.
And (aside from the romantic element of love), she loved that he did that.

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 23, 2023, 09:08:07 PM ---I think “nanny” rather than “Bodyguard” Harry has made an enemy of Nameless and Miss Lapland, as a fellow Scandinavian Freydis will be able to give Harry the skinny on them. Typical rivalry between the Swedes and the Finns. I can see Harry running Freydis ragged.
This also equalises his position with Marcone.
--- End quote ---
Well, yes but does Marcone even need Ms. Gard any longer? He might need her as a liaison to Vadderung. Though her magical talents are considerable Marcone has Spiny Boy to advise on matters involving magic. Perhaps Marcone might keep Gard around for sake of appearance; he doesn't want his partnership with Thorned Namshiel to become known to the general magical community. Mab, Lara, Odin and anyone else at the post Battle of Chicago meeting already know this because Harry told them by addressing Marcone as Sir Baron, but none of them are likely to talk about what they learned there. It's possible that Gard doesn't know, unless she witnessed Marcone change during the battle. Even if Gard doesn't know I would expect her to find out, she's too capable not to figure it out.
If Ms. Gard was no longer acting as Marcone's bodyguard, then she could become Harry's bodyguard. For professional reasons Gard couldn't tell Harry anything about Marcone beyond very general information, but knowing that she had potentially critical information would be irritating to Harry, making Gard a fun choice.

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 23, 2023, 09:08:07 PM ---Who is to say that the new apprentice is an established character? The supercharged magical atmosphere of Battle Ground will have set off any number of prepubescent Wizards to be. Harry is likely to be dealing with a 10-12 year old, whose parents consider Harry a better bet than the White Council. That means someone who knows i.e. a Paranetter family.

When you think about the potential favors Harry owes to the survivors who followed his Banner during the Battle of Chicago, this makes sense. Someone who saw Harry in action and suddenly found out their son, daughter or younger brother or sister was showing signs of magical talent, Harry would be the logical choice to that person to approach. They wouldn't know anyone in the White Council, but they would know Harry.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think it would be someone who parents were known to Harry, not necessarily the Paranetters, but Lamar’s neice or nephew or Larry Fowler Jr perhaps? Someone with a beef against Harry like Charity had, or someone from the Murphy clan, one of her nieces or nephews? They are mentioned at the familypicnic yet would put Harry into angst especially if she is short and blonde.
Just think of the thing which is going to cause Harry the most grief and work backwards from that I believe that is Jim’s method of character development for the character. A Wizard Murphette would do exactly that.

This seems a fair assessment; grief, or just sheer complication/trouble.
RobReece:
I had another possible apprentice thought pop into my head this morning.
Helen Beckkit has enough power to be in the order of the big black pot, how about her daughter? We never hear if the fake shroud had any affect on her, but Harry has the real Shroud... Think of how Sir John will feel if Harry is responsible for healing her, and she becomes his apprentice, not to mention its affect on Helen. The only flaw I see, is that she was a child at the time, so she would have an almost Bonny like learning curve if she wakes with power...
