Chapter10—No one said but they came

.

Harry, Susan, and Amelia never knew nor ever found out why that day took place. It is possible the Minbari knew but they never mentioned it to the audience on the small moon. What the empty universe saw was the Narns war cruiser jumped out of deep space at the same time a Centauri Primus battle cruiser entered normal space. Each cruiser was followed by their version of the Sky Serpent fighters (one man fighters). Several 'pilot jump ships' also came out of deep space. The 'Pilot Jump Ships' were capable of fighting but were more for fast personnel movement. The pilot could take six or so people or small cargo on a jump into deep space. They were faster that the lumbering cruisers. The Serpent fighters could not jump without the cruisers.

The two gigantic cruisers notified their respective home worlds that the other had attacked for no reason. In the end it made no difference, both worlds were now at war with each other.

What the two nations at war did not realize that they had jumped on top of a Mimbari mid-class destroyer out scouting the disturbance in time and space around earth. Plasma rays, laser rays, missiles and only the heavens knew what else were immediately cast, fired, thrown or shot. What could be said that hundreds of beams of destruction hit fighter shields. Shields collapsed and ships explode or disintegrate causing a light show of a gigantic magnitude.

Neither side notice the Mimbari destroyer until it entered the fray. No one fired on the Mimbari and survived. Their destroyer had three weapons, one that sent a blast of light and destruction. The second a ray that swept and cut everything even with their opponents shields raised. The third was a pulsing ray that seemed to cause ripples but did not hurt the ships it hit, but inside the living beings cease to live.

The pulsing ray clipped one of the pilot ships. Its pilot knew he was finished but to save his ship he hit the auto-switch before he died. The ship would now hone in on safe landing pad and could be use to further the war. So the ship slowly slipped from the fighting zone.

The Mimbari were true to their reputation and within a short time there was no one left fighting. The Mimbari ensured there were no survivors by slicing or blasting any possible piece that could be used by survivors. The pilot ship had drifted far from the massacre before its thrusters nudge it to a recognized landing pad. It finally touched down and opened its hatches at a place called Potter's Moon Dome.

The Vorlon's computer system recognized the Narn Pilot Ship as a derelict and now the property of Potter's Moon Dome. It proceeded to convert it systems to English and accept Harry Potter as its owner and operator. The Vorlon's had never told Harry that the computer was a sentient machine with the survival instincts attuned to protect the dome and all its property. The computer now had a family to watch over. The Vorlon's had been around for a long time relying on these computers. Instructions were now being printed out for the proper burial of the Narn in the ship.

It took a second to close my mouth; the fight was indescribable but put on a light show that was stunning. The dome's roof appeared to zoom in on the fighting like watching a football game on TV. I ran to the TV and turned it on to see what the muggles were saying; they could not have missed this either by normal eye sight or their electronics. The announcer was excited, "Folks if you were looking up tonight you would have seen one of the most spectacular meteor and light shows imaginable. Authorities state that there is nothing to worry about, that the light display was from the meteors being destroyed when they hit an atmosphere. The Authorities state the action was a good million miles away from earth and …" I turned off the TV as that was bogus information. It looked like the mundane had their own Fudge denying everything.

I was definitely confused, "Susan did you see space ships shooting at each other?"

"Harry is that what you call those things, they sent out beams like our wands do, I'm scared." Susan snuggled into my arms.

"According to that TV report we just saw those things a million miles away? Some thing is wrong, people can't see that far! Amelia was just as confused as I was. We all did agree on one thing there was no atmosphere for those meteorites to burn in so it was all lies. There was no doubt what we saw. The talking would have continued if it wasn't for this long tall ship sitting not to far from the dome and a constant beep indicating a computer print out.

The print out explained a few things, like the ceiling letting us see that far away and that we needed to attend to the ship immediately and follow the computer instructions.

I set off to the door we found awhile back and headed down the passage way to the circular hatch we never opened. Susan and Amelia were close behind and as I, they had their wands drawn.

I did get some objections but I knew deep down they wanted to come but really didn't want to go into the ship. I told them to stay as I was afraid one of us would touch something, something that made my MT-43 look like a toy pistol. I would have tried to convince myself not to enter the hatch but it was already open with a ladder extended.

It was a long ship but straight forward. First the engine compartment, then a large storage bay which was empty, the sleeping quarters were just before the pilots cabin or control center. There strapped in a chair was a reptilian looking human with dead looking complexion with brown and green spots on most of its exposed body.

The instructions were clear and I followed them as best I could. I found a hand written 'Book of G'Quan and put it on his chest. A cabinet held a number of boxes and when I opened one it expanded into a large tube with a lid on one side. I levitated the body into the tube and levitated it to what I would call a space lock. A pull of a couple of levers and the outer door opened and the tube with its occupant took off by some kind of propulsion unit. Where ever it was going it wasn't going to get there very fast.

At this point in my life I was me, I had my ego and a little voice that always whispered in my ear that I was not as big, mean and powerful as I thought I was. Of course I had a wife that whispered in the other not to go off half-cocked and get killed. I just knew I was right and knew what I was doing, said the nice ego. In actuality I was more like a little boy playing with the big boys and all the fantastic weapons I had were just toys for the little boy, the little voice whispered back. Little did I realize that the big boys were at play being directed by the bigger boys.

You name the race or is that races? Was it the Vorlon or Shadow race or their minions? The governing offices around the world were being infiltrated to direct decisions and actions. No one knew to what ends? Whoever they were they forgot to tell Harry Potter that plans for an advanced one man fighter showed up in all the nations' military centers. Not being a nation to be caught unaware each started building them under strict secrecy.

I just worked with the computer because what little boy didn't want an operational space ship? Susan was right there helping and learning how the thing was supposed to work. This was mostly directed by the computer. While we had no idea how the propulsion system worked we knew that the auto-pilot did. Once the auto-pilot was turned on, switch 'A', that the auto-pilot made the propulsion system operated properly. By the time you got to the button 'D' the lasers automatically targeted and fired. Our big problem was the food dispenser/materializer. This was like magic, it produced all kinds of food from apparently nothing, it was having troubles with English tea and scones.

/Scene Break/

Voldemort was having his own problems, he had just broken out of Azkaban his faithful follower's but got extras who wanted to join. While he was explaining his attack on the Hogwarts weekend this February some one spoke up, "It's not going to work…"

"Crucio", when the curse was lifted the speaker stood up and repeated, "It's still not going to work!"

"Who are you or better, what are you? Voldemort thought this thing was uglier that himself.

"San'Gar my lord, you will be cut to ribbons."

"Crucio".

San'Gar just gets back up and say's, "It's your funeral."

"Throw this thing in a cell; I will deal with it when I get back." San'Gar was dragged from the room and Voldemort continued his planning.
