The Fifth Member of SG-1
Arrival – part 2

"The Impossible non-existing Wizard"

Asgard Protected Planet Alpha-3 Gamma, Asgard outpost

Alarms all over the complex were going off. Several Asgard hurried to their stations from the open doorways. The recognisable voice of Supreme Commander Thor came over internal communications.

"Spatial anomalies detected in grid Orion-7, Orion-9, Acheron-3…" Thor continued, listing another 10 'grids' where these spatial anomalies were detected.

Thor beamed in minutes later. "Report!" the dimunitive alien commanded.

One of the scientist Asgard to his side answered. "Anomalies confirmed, tears between dimensions, temporal in nature."

"Analysis. Origin?" Thor asked simply.

"A recent supernova… location… oh my…" one Asgard paused, before hurriedly adding, "A solar system with a world we know to be occupied by the Tok'ra."

"Reason?"

"Unknown."

"Theory?"

The Asgard thought for a second, before saying, "Scans of that area reported the Goa'uld Apophis had sent a large fleet to the system in question. Perhaps the supernova was triggered by the Tok'ra to wipe that fleet out?"

Thor nodded, but asked, "How?"

"Theoretically… removing some of the sun's mass suddenly."

"How?" Thor asked again.

The Asgard around them frowned, but couldn't begin to guess.

"Begin research into collapsing the tear." Thor commanded.

"Yes, Supreme Commander."

Thor beamed out.

Stargate Command, Briefing room

Harry frowned at his itchy clothes. Green 'BDUs' according to that old guy, Jim, John, O'Really or something. He was sat facing the window that looked out into the 'gate room.

2 weeks he had spent in this 'SGC' place, only to find out that a) he didn't exist, b) neither did Tom Riddle, Albus Dumbledore, Hermione Granger, anyone named Weasley nor his parents, and c) he had somehow travelled forward in time by a few years. It was 2001, travel to other worlds was an everyday occurrence for the people in this 'SGC'.

He seemed to wait several minutes before people came into the room. A guy wearing an informal uniform or something, the kind a USAF officer wears in an office, Harry mused, with 2 stars on the black shoulder things – Harry didn't know what they called that bit but he didn't really need to know… he did know what the 2 stars meant though – a general, although he wasn't familiar with the ranking structure of the USAF, what with being a wizard.

Behind this general guy, 4 people in a mix of blue and green BDUs entered. This James O'Right guy wore Green, the next bloke 'Danny' or something also in green, the woman wore blue, but the tall dark-skinned bloke with a bald head and a gold emblem on his head simply forwent the upper jacket in favour for a black shirt.

They took seats around the table, and 'Sam' sat next to him. He gave her a small smile, nervous at what was going on.

"Mr Potter, thank you for joining us." Hammond began.

"No problem, it's not like I had anything else to do…" Harry replied somewhat sarcastically. At Hammonds' raised eyebrow, he added, "even if I did, I'd be here anyway… er… sir…"

"Relax, Mr Potter-"

"Harry, please." Harry asked.

"… Harry." Hammond tried out, and Harry smiled and to the others, he seemed to relax. Hammond continued. "As far as we can tell,…" Hammond paused.

Harry guessed that he was trying to think of a way to say it, so he said simply, "I don't exist… nor do anyone I knew personally."

Hammond nodded at his assessment.

"How?" Harry asked.

Daniel coughed slightly to get their attention, and gave a questioning look to Hammond, who noticed what that meant and nodded. Daniel began with, "Now, from what we've told you, we generally explore the galaxy…"

Harry nodded.

Sam continued, "We have come across some amazing technology on our missions, but one device we found allowed people to.. travel between realities."

Harry frowned and thought for a second, gathered what they meant and asked, "So out there somewhere, figuratively of course, is the 'reality' I come from? But in this one, I wasn't supposed to exist?"

Sam nodded.

Harry sighed. "from what you told me about how you… found me, I doubt I'd get to go back."

Jack shrugged, and said, "Probably. What we have to figure out now, is what we're going to do with you."

Harry's frown deepened, and he tried to think of what he'd want to do.

They gave him a few seconds, before Harry finally spoke, "Well first I have to get a decent education… I somewhat doubt what I learned back 'home' would be useful here…"

He didn't realise what he said, until Sam asked, "What do you mean? Surely you've finished high school – and if I remember correctly, British College too?"

Harry shook his head. "I went to a school for some gifted people, but we didn't exactly… learn sciences or… well, normal maths…" Harry would have frowned again, but he was still frowning from before.

"So what did you learn?" Daniel asked.

Harry sighed, muttered, "Fuck it…" before sitting up straight and said, "where I come from at least, there's a hidden society of people who can do things…"

"What things?" Daniel asked.

Harry thought for a second, before simply replying with a smile, "Magic."

Sam frowned at him. "Magic isn't real."

Harry shrugged. He knew he'd have to show them to believe him. And he decided he'd have to do it wandless, otherwise they'd think that was the source of his abilities. He closed his eyes, and settled into the meditative state he had learned to do when he had to do something wandless or powerful. After a second, he opened his eyes to see the curious looks of the 5 people. He held his right hand out, palm up, and shouted in his mind, 'lumos!'

A ball of gentle light came from his hand and settled an inch above his palm. It winked out after a few seconds.

Harry looked at each of them. First he looked at the tall and dark-skinned guy, who just merely raised both of his eyebrows, then Daniel, who's expression made Harry chuckle a little, he was gobsmacked. Then he looked at Jerry O'near, who shared Daniels' expression of utter shock. Hammond looked vaguely shocked, but held it back mostly. The most expressive however, was Sam, who as soon as he looked at her, near-shouted, "That's Impossible!"

Harry smiled, and with a shrug, said, "I'm the Impossible non-existent Wizard."
