**As always I do not own Stargate nor do I own Harry Potter. Again I have no beta reader. Also I would like to thank all of my reviewers**
The next morning the city was alive with activity. Harry was in his office preparing for the council meeting but he could see and here people rushing about. It was strange but with the demise of both Voldemort and his death eaters and Dumbledore it was like a great looming shadow had been removed and the people of Avalon where relishing in it.
Standing he took the various report pads and headed to the council chambers. Already in the room was Dan, Sirius, Remus, Andromeda, Ted, Hermione, Emma, Tonks, Luna, Neville, Augusta and finally Griphook.
"Good morning everyone." said Harry as he took his seat at the head of the table.
"Good morning Harry." was the reply from those assembled.
"OK why don't we get started. Dan how are you and the trekkies doing?" he inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"We are getting on fantastic. We will have the four defiant class ships ready for trial runs in the next three days. We are completing final systems checks and then will be ready to go. As for the satellites they are complete and ready for deployment upon our return. The station which we are calling Videum will be ready for construction as soon as we return. Also we have solved the issue of the cannons we are going with a modulated pulse system that will destroy anything that it targets." replied Dan
"OK excellent work I would like to make a suggestion though the defiant class ship can you rename it a Slytherin class vessel." replied Harry.
"Not a problem High Chancellor. When you have a chance can you come to the lab. We have a few more designs for approval" replied Dan with a smile.
Sirius went next "I'm speaking on behalf of internal security namely the Auror force. We have almost gotten a full compliment from the people within the city. I know Ted has taken a full law download and has reviewed our laws. We think that once we have settled in our new home that most of them should be upheld." her Ted nodded in agreement.
"OK well for the next meeting I would like to have a review of all laws ready. If you could take care of that Ted?" inquired Harry.
"That's not a problem. However I would like to make a point of law now if that's OK?" replied Ted
"Go ahead." replied Harry.
"I would like to propose that we and here I am taking a leaf from the trekkies.." with a nod to Dan. "we should instigate a prime directive. I know that this will not be entirely possibly due to the Astria Porta's back home. However I feel it is warranted especially in the case of developing societies. What I am proposing is this:" inputting several commands into the data pad in front of him and the information was sent to every council members pads.
"Nothing within these Articles of Incorporation shall authorize the Alteran domain to intervene in matters which are essentially the domestic jurisdiction of any planetary social system, or shall require the members to submit such matters to settlement under these Articles Of Incorporation. But this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures.
As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Alteran personnel may interfere with the normal and healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Alteran personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship, unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation."
"This is what I have come up with so far." said Ted.
After reading the information Harry said "Ted this is truly excellent work. I see now reason that this cannot be enacted now unless someone would like to counter this?"
Seeing no one arguing Harry said "Let's call a vote."
As they each cast their vote it was a unanimous. "OK well our prime directive has been instigated into law. It will not apply until we go home and everything is settled." said Harry.
Augusta went next saying "We are going well with the immigration program. So far 90% of people are accepting of the truth of our history and are willing to make the move. However there are some people who ran us from their homes. I have left monitoring devices at each location at the first sign of trouble we will beam them here. I have also instigated a charm that will prevent our secret being divulged."
Nodding Harry looked to Emma and Andromeda "We are handling everything on the medical front. We have had 23 births since we came here and they babies are fine and the mother's coping well."
Looking to Hermione she replied "We have begun classes for students. We have had some cases of accidental magic getting away from some of the children but is nothing we cannot handle. Alora has also began working with us to teach the children. However we do need a wand maker as soon as possible. I know they are a bit of a crutch now that we have full access to our abilities but it is the only way I can see you help students in the long term."
"I shall contact Garrick and see what he has to say. Griphook how goes things on your front?" he inquired.
"Everything is going perfectly we have begun using our data bases to create technology the same as your defense satellites for our new homeworld. As you are aware we tend to live in subterranean enclaves so it should not be a problem to get things going once we return home." said Griphook with a small smile.
"Excellent work people things are really moving. I want to speak to the Hogwarts staff and then the ICW. I have run current projections and we should be ready to return home in 18 months." replied Harry.
"Brilliant." said Remus.
"OK well if that's everything I declare this session closed." replied Harry as he stood to let everyone attend to their appointed tasks.
"Dan do you have time to show me the designs your team has come up with? I have some time free before I go to Hogwarts with Amelia." inquired Harry.
"Yes of course High Chancellor." replied Dan.
The two of them set out to the trekkies lab and before long they had arrived. As usual it was a hive of activity. Although this time there where 5 command chairs located in the room each of them occupied.
Harry raised and eyebrow and inquired "What are they doing?"
"Seeing as how we do not have ships for everyone to be trained up on we have adapted our neural interface program and we are using it for training purposes." replied Dan.
"Fantastic work Dan and indeed all the trekkies." replied Harry.
"We have some new designs that we would like your approval." said Dan as he input several commands in the front of him. Almost immediately a ship appeared rotating above the holo-table in the center of the room.
"Nice." replied Harry as he looked over the ship design and specs.
"This is a modified version of our Destiny class ship that was launched 50 million years age. We have doubled the size of the ship and it will be outfitted with all of our latest scientific labs and systems. It measures 1494 meters long by 1036 meters wingtip to wingtip. We have also outfitted it with our more advanced hyper-drives and shields. As a back up we are also including a plasma scoop that in an emergency can be used to power the vessel is for some reason the ships main power source is destroyed or rendered offline. For the weapon systems we will also be outfitting it with our latest in drone weaponry and pulse cannons. It will also carry 18 jumpers for the normal operating procedure. Also before we go any further you should know that the plasma scoop for solar collection will be outfitted to all of our ships." replied Dan.
Nodding with a small smile Harry said "This is truly excellent work."
"We are not done." replied Dan. "We have also decided that this ship will be a part of a tactical exploration task for it will be accompanied by two Slytherin class vessels. This allows for more technical and research work on board the vessel. Which by the way we are naming the Ravenclaw class tactical explorer."
"OK." replied Harry.
Warren who was with the group as they explained everything said "We have updated the Aurora class vessels as well. Previously they where between 3000 and 3500 meters in length however we have now developed a new class based on this design which we have outfitted with all of our latest military technologies. There will be some labs on board but nothing major as these will be our main military cruisers called the Gryffindor class. It will measure 3750 meters in length. With a compliment of 12 jumpers. It will also have three Slytherin class vessels as escorts."
"Finally we have the Hufflepuff class multi-role vessel that is a combination of a hospital ship and explorer class. It was originally based of the Aurora class vessel at 3000 meters which the size will remain the same. Instead of the usual military equipment and labs it will have multiple bio-research
labs as well as numerous medical facilities." Said Dan.
"Again this is fantastic work. I have to ask though how to you propose to build these?" replied Harry as he continued to read the vessel specs.
"Well we have an idea about that." said Dan once again at the controls of the holo-table. The image changed to a ship yard.
"This is the Arkos ship yard. It was originally in orbit of sol in our home dimension but when we started to build Vis Uban it was moved from Terra to Vis Uban as this was to be our greatest construct to date at that time. According to the information from the ID probes it has not yet been discovered and is still in standby mode awaiting our return." replied Dan.
"I know roughly of this station from the download. I take it you have more information on it." inquired Harry.
"We do and with a few modifications it can handle anything we want to build including city-ships as this is where Atlantis was built." replied Dan.
"OK I can see this would been a great asset to have but as you all know Vis-Uban is where the plague started that nearly wiped us out. I do not want a resurgence of that disease." said Harry.
"We are not worried about that virus now we have a cure and I doubt that the virus could have survived this long." replied Dan.
"OK well this is great and thank you for everything you are doing. Please continue." said Harry as he turned to leave for his meeting with Amelia and the staff of Hogwarts.
It was twenty minutes when Harry arrived in the Ministry of Magic. People cheerfully where going about their business and the air of fear that had fallen upon magical Britain was gone. As he made his was through the building people where stopping him to say thanks. It was getting a little distracting until Shacklebolt intervened saying "Come along now break it up."
Smiling at Shacklebolt Harry said "Thanks Shack."
Laughing Shacklebolt said "Not a problem Harry. I believe you have a meeting with Amelia yes?"
"I do." replied Harry.
"Well then come along and we shall get you there quickly." said Shacklebolt.
As they walked to Amelia office Harry inquired "I meant to ask how did the whole Ron and Ginny are Pettigrew's kids come to light?"
"Turns out that Molly and Pettigrew where having an affair at towards the end of the last war and Molly fell pregnant with Ron. When he went into hiding after the betrayal of your parents he hid in the Burrow because he was known as an animagus to Molly and they continued the affair with him hiding as a rat within Arthur's home and Ginny was the result. Apparently Molly was not happy that Arthur wasn't rich and wanted out of the marriage but as you know in magical society the only way out of a marriage is through death or having there marriage dissolved by their head of house. There was now way she could ask for an annulment from her head of house because she had gotten pregnant with William in her 7th year in Hogwarts to cover the shame she was married off." said Shacklebolt.
Nodding along as Shacklebolt spoke Harry was stuck with a thought "How did she get around her magical marriage vows though? I thought once a couple married that was it. No cheating etc and loyal for life."
"Normally that would be the case but given we where in the middle of a war and Arthur was enamored with muggles they opted for a non-magical ceremony which allowed Molly to get around the marriage vows." replied Shacklebolt.
"Wow talk about a devious woman." said Harry.
"Indeed." replied Shacklebolt as he approached the door to Amelia's office. Knocking stood waiting for an answer.
A minute later he could hear Amelia say "Enter."
Stepping into the office Shacklebolt and Harry waited for Amelia to acknowledge them.
"Harry, Shacklebolt what can I do for you?" replied Amelia.
"I found Mr Potter trying to wade his way here to your office for a meeting and I thought it best to accompany him." replied Shacklebolt.
"Meeting, Merlin is that today." inquired Amelia.
"Yes it is." said Harry with a smirk.
"I blame you for this Harry with all the paperwork you have buried me in by making me Minister has gotten ridicules." replied a sardonic Amelia.
"I do apologize." replied an abashed Harry.
"It's OK it just the mess Fudge has left behind is unreal. The man had not filing system and seemed to spend more time acquiring "donations" from certain individuals." replied Amelia. "To be honest I'm glad of the distraction."
Shacklebolt chuckled and said " I shall leave you too it then."
"Actually Shack can you stay. I wanted to talk to you as well as Amelia." replied Harry.
Nodding he moved to take one of the free seats in front of Amelia's desk.
Sitting in the other free seat Harry began. "I am going to Hogwarts and I would like for you to join me."
"OK I take it you are going to speak to McGonagall and the staff?" replied Amelia.
"I am, I want to get the ball rolling and in order to do that I need to speak to them. You are already in the know and when I have spoken to the ICW that should be the last of the work that I personally have to do." replied Harry.
Shacklebolt who as yet did not know said "What are you talking about?"
Looking at Harry Amelia said "You should come with us to Hogwarts. We have a lot to go over and that is the best place to start."
"OK." replied Shacklebolt.
Standing Amelia said "I suppose we should get going we can floor from my office to Hogsmeade and walk to the castle."
Going over the the fireplace in her office Amelia took out her wand and with a non verbal incendio she lit the fire. Turning she took some floo powder from the urn resting beside the fire grate she threw the powder into the flames and immediately the flames turned green. She stepped in and said "Three Broomsticks." and in a flourish of flames she was gone.
"Well Harry after you." replied Shacklebolt.
It was 3 minutes later the Shacklebolt appeared in the Three Broomsticks he chuckled when he realized that the crowd had tried to swarm Harry in congratulations. Amelia had dispersed them but still the looks where there.
"Come along Harry and Kingsley." said Amelia.
They left the pub and started walking towards Hogwarts. Harry couldn't help but feel nostalgic it truly was a beautiful sight. They approached the gates when they heard a voice call out "Harry, Amelia and Shacklebolt what can I do for you?" asked Hagrid in his thick west country voice.
"We are heading to the castle to speak to the staff. You should come with us Hagrid you need to hear this as well." said Amelia.
"OK well let me finish up what I was doing and then I will be up. I should only be about 10 minutes." replied Hagrid with a shrug.
Nodding the trio once again started their walk to the castle. Walking to the main doors they entered the castle and where greeted by McGonagall. "How are you? Harry we cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us." she smiled.
"Are the staff all here in the castle and thank you?" inquired Harry.
"Yes well except for Severus and good riddance if you ask me." Minerva replied in clipped tones.
"OK well if you don't mind we have something to discuss with you and the staff." said Amelia. As Hagrid came up to join them.
"Shall we." said Minerva as she turned and led them into the great hall. Sitting at the table where the rest of the staff less of course Severus Snape.
"Good afternoon everyone." said Harry.
"Good afternoon Mr Potter, Madam Bones and Kingsley." said the Dumbledore duplicate.
"Mr Potter has something he wants each of you to know. I would advise that you listen to him for he speaks the truth," said Amelia
Taking their seats they waited for Harry to begin. "I would ask that you hold any questions until I am finished. Is that OK." he said. Seeing their nods he soldiered on beginning with the story of Avalon, Voldemort, the plans for the future and finally Dumbledore.
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions he said "I can prove at least a part of my story right now."
"It's not that we do not believe you Harry but this is all so surreal. You really expect us to join you in the stars?" asked Minerva.
"I do." replied Harry.
"I would like to see this proof you talk of?" inquired Aurora Sinestra.
Standing Harry went to the Dumbledore duplicate and said "Deactivate duplicate."
The reaction was immediate Dumbledore shut down his eyes lost all signs of life.
"I believe you High Chancellor." said Filius from his seat.
"I just cannae believe it. Dumbledore as a dark lord." said Hagrid as he blew his nose in a tablecloth sized hanky.
"I'm sorry Hagrid I really am but this is the truth there is no point in hiding it and letting him be remembered as a great man when he was nothing of the sort." replied Harry.
"I have to ask Mr Potter what will happen now to the school." inquired Minerva as she struggled to comprehend everything.
"I want you to become the new headmistress and Hagrid as you where never a criminal just a patsy so to speak for Voldemort and Dumbledore your record has been completely expunged and you will of course be compensated for everything you have suffered." replied Harry.
"I thank you Mr Potter. I do have a question though how come the portrait's didn't alert us that you had taken Dumbledore?" inquired Minerva.
"Oh that was because of the anti magic field I had projected throughout the office on the day I came here. When I had the field transmitted within the office everything magical froze" he smirked.
"Very Slytherin Mr Potter." Said Aurora with a smile.
"I have to ask what do you all think?" inquired Harry.
"I believe you Harry." replied Shacklebolt.
Looking at her staff who nodded and smiled Minerva said "We believe you Harry more we are with you."
"Fantastic. Well I had better be off back to Avalon." Harry said as he passed out some comm badges he went on saying "I will be in touch in the next few days. Until then."
"Avalon one to transport." said Harry and in a flash of light he was gone.
"I think I need a drink of some firewhiskey." said Shacklebolt as he stared at the place where Harry beamed away from.
"I think we shall join you." said Minerva.
