THE EXPLANATION
Harry decided to walk to the medical bay on The Legacy to have time to get his thoughts together. He knew that Sirius and Remus were in, anything for a chance to get away from all the prejudice for both of them, and Padfoot just to be able to prank the world into thinking he's dead as well as pranking a whole new world would just be icing on the cake for him. Madam Bones would be the hardest to persuade, because of her job as head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she would see it as running away from her responsibilities. Hopefully Susan could help there. 'All the rest of them had living families that were going to left behind, they probably won't want to come,' thought Harry.
A thrilling Arthur answered, "Remember Harry, that each one of them oue you a life debt, you could force them."
"Forcing the issue, would make just like the Death Eaters Art. We have to be better than that," said Harry
"Too true Harry, that's why I chose you. Your pursuit of what is Right not what is Easy."
As they entered the medical bay, Harry checked the instruments to make sure everyone was in perfect health; he started waking up Sirius, Remus, and Tonks.
Opening their eyes, Sirius was the first to speak saying, "If this is the afterlife, then I don't think I took a wrong turn somewhere," grinning ear to ear.
Moony groaned out before he realized who he was talking to, "Bad joke there Padfoot." His eyes shot open wide and looked to his side to see a grinning Sirius Black that looked better than he had seen since is stay in hotel Azkaban.
Harry chose this time to speak, "Well we can see nothing keeps a marauder down, even death," laughing at his own joke.
"Ok, I've been gone a wile by the looks of things, but are you dead too Pup?" asked a bewildered Sirius with a wide eyed Remus and Tonks.
"No Paddy, just saving your mangy ass, along with a lot of other people."
Tonks spoke up saying, "The last thing I remember before waking up here is having been hit by at least three cutting curses, with a killing curse headed my way without anyway to move because I was standing over Remus who was hit by one less than a minute before me. Now I'm in perfect health, with a living Moony. And I know I watched Sirius fall through the Vail of Death, what the hell is going on here Harry James Potter-Black!" she finished yelling at him.
"You know me Tonks, if it's impossible; I do it on a daily basis. A little time travel, some healing technology and everyone is good to go. I just left everyone in stasis until it was time to start waking everyone up," replied a grinning Harry with Art on his shoulder.
Tonks' reply was to smile and walk up to him and say, "I don't know wither to arrest you, hex you, thank you, or snoog your brains out. But with Remus and I together, I'll just thank you." Getting up, she walked over to him and gave him a bone crushing hug followed by Sirius and Remus.
"You're welcome guys, it's what family does for one another," said Harry with a tear in his eye.
"Ok, so where are we, and how long were we asleep cub?" asked Remus.
"You were only out for about a day; Paddy was sleeping for over a year, lazy bum. Oh by the way Moony, you may want to meditate sometime soon, because I believe your werewolf form is long gone, because were actually on a space ship parked next to a small base on the dark side of the moon," Harry informed them to their gaping mouths. "Now before you begin with the millions of questions I know you all have, we have others that need to be woke up to join the conversation."
Harry took the time to go to each healing bed and check on the person there, form there he shut down the stasis on them and waited until they awoke.
Once they were all up, some screaming in fear of seeing Sirius, Harry asked them all to follow him to a conference room for the question and answer portion. Walking through the Legacy, they had more questions than answers and had no choice than to follow Harry. Entering the conference room, they all saw a round table that could seat forty people easily. Taking their seats, Harry began his story of the night his parents died and continued all the way through until he got it all. It took over six hours, with everyone asking questions, but he finally finished and offered everyone something to eat. He told them to put a hand on the table and state whatever they wanted, it was replicated and delivered in a flash of white. They were amazed at that, and slowly started eating, everyone savoring their first meal since their 'resurrection'. It was after the meal that Harry asked a question that left them all pondering.
"Now you've heard my story up until this point, the main reason you are all here is because you all dead to anyone who knows, the question is would you like to come with me to another reality where there is no magic, or return to your lives. Remember your families are under stasis in my house under a fieldus charm, I can switch you out with the clones there and no one would know any different. The choice is yours, but I would like each of you to stay and help, maybe by starting a new life doing this it will give you something besides what the wizarding world offers. Seeing new words, meeting aliens, living your lives helping people who can't help themselves, the choice is yours," said Harry.
As they all thought about it the answers he received were what he hoped for.
"I'm with you till the end pup, just as a godfather is meant to be. But your letting me paint my own armor," said Sirius with a smile.
Tonks and Remus shared a look and a nod, they were in.
Susan and Hanna was the one to decide it for her and her Aunt by saying, "We're already declared dead Aunty, plus we get to journey to other worlds, we can claim the title as the first space witches in history. I want to go, so please come with me," after giving her Aunt the puppy dog look for a few seconds, Amelia gave in with a sigh and nod wile smiling.
The Patel twins, Delacour sisters and Greengrass sisters were still talking to each other when Su Li informed him that her family had been dead since her first year and she was coming.
Lavender Brown was the same as Su Li, but instead of living alone like Su, she had been living with her muggle Uncle who was a mob boss, she saw this as a way out of that life and wanted to start something new. Plus according to her, "Harry 'hot as hell' Potter was here, and that's where she was staying."
Everyone enjoyed a good laugh, before the twins and the Greengrass sisters agreed that this was a much better life than what was planned out for them by their parents. Here they didn't have to worry about being shunned because they were bi-sexual, and didn't have to put up with parents who were going to marry them off for money or political power.
Fleur and Gabby, they were with Harry till the end because he had saved both their lives in the Tri-Wizard Tournament meaning they owed a debt to him. Then he did it again when they were about to be raped and murdered. They were with him till the end, no question there.
Harry had a big smile on his face; he was amazed they all agreed to go with him. 'You were right Art, they all agreed, I can't believe it'
"Your forgetting two other people Harry, Dobby and his mate Winky should also be joining us in this journey my friend." Thrilled Art for the first time since everyone woke up, drawing questions which Harry answered as well as translating for the talkative fire bird. Harry explained that everyone was going have to share quarters on the Marauder due to it being smaller than the Legacy, but it wouldn't be ready for another five months. That would give everyone a chance to work out sleeping quarters for themselves, showing them rooms on the ship to get settled in before setting off to the S&R puddle jumper to collect Dobby and Winky.
After talking to Janus to lockdown certain areas of the ship to the new crew until he had a chance to run them threw the DNA re-sequencer and knowledge repository, he set off with Art still with him. "Hey Art, do you think any other phoenix would like to come with us? They don't have to bond with anyone if they don't want to, but it would give them a chance to have an adventure."
"That's a wonderful idea Harry, I'll ask while where getting Dobby and Winky, and shutting down the stasis on all the parents and clones where leaving behind. It may be a good idea to talk to everyone and ask them if they would like their vaults in trunks like yours that way they can have money when we get there. And don't forget about Dumbledore and his diary, I think dropping it at the newspapers of the world would hurt him a lot more than anything," thrilled Art.
"No wonder you were King, you really know how to hit 'em where it hurts the most," laughed Harry
"And don't you forget it present," laughed Art.
Harry set the puddle jumper down on an abandoned air field near a the coast. He opened the rear door as Art flashed off to begin recruiting any phoenix that would want to join. Once outside Harry called Dobby.
"The great Harry Potter has called Dobby, Dobby is so happy that Harry Potter sir is ok. Dobby was scared when the old white bearded one put Harry Potter sir in the bad prison. Dobby was gonna come rescue the great and noble Harry Potter when he just disappeared, Dobby couldn't find him no more," wailed a happily crying Dobby.
"It's alright Dobby; I'm here now safe and sound. I was wondering if you and Winky would like to come with me and my new friends and family on an adventure?" asked Harry.
A pop indicated Winky's arrival, "Dobby" "and Winky" "would love to Harry Potter, but if we be going too far from Hoggywarts, then Dobby and Winky be needing a bond to keep magic strong."
Harry thought about it for all of three seconds before he agreed and had Dobby walk him through the bonding process. Once it was completed, they popped off to collect their belongings. While waiting for them to return, Art flamed in with a white phoenix that was named Sarah. She was his life mate that wanted to come with him. Dobby and Winky returned, Harry had Winky conjure a chair to sit in wile he instructed Dobby to collect trunks like his except with only one vault built in, and had Winky serve him some tea. About an hour later Dobby returned, Harry had them put names on the trunks and sent them to the peoples' homes to collect everything that belonged to them. Harry went into the puddle jumper and took a nap waiting for the elves to finish their mission. Four hours later, the five beings were ready to depart. Harry got into the pilots seat after closing the rear hatch and took. It took about ten minutes to return to the Legacy, and dock. Harry got the elves and phoenixes a room to themselves and had them deliver the trunks to their owners which were asleep.
