Lily looked up from the creatures book so was reading when Harry and Sarah reappeared near the open miniature Dungeons & Dragons module for the magic shop that moved locations. "Any luck?"

Harry sighed as he noticed that the edges of the module was lightly charred. "Damn, I was hoping that buying the magic items would help."

"Charred?" Lily asked.

"Lightly, I can probably make one more trip, maybe two depending. It probably has something to do with the fact that it was a miniature module rather than a full setting."

Sarah shrugged. "Mission accomplished though, we got two amulets that should protect us from telepathy. I also picked up a ring of nourishment and regeneration that should help with Harry's project."

Hermione looked up from the Star Trek book she was rereading. "At least you got the amulets."

"Yep."

Harry asked, "Did you have any luck figuring out a good place to jump into the story so we can get the telepaths and telekinetics we need?"

Hermione said, "I reread the first part and the ending then skimmed the rest. Near the beginning of the story is probably the best place to recruit the 'advanced' teenagers from unless we want to jump in after they introduce the advanced immune system crap and try to 'fix' it so we get the best of both worlds but I'd rather not."

Sarah said, "I'd rather not get anywhere near a plague that can cause people to die of advanced age within a few days or weeks, thank you very much."

Lily said, "I have to agree with Sarah on this one."

"Agreed. I'd rather just jump in then jump out with what we need," Harry replied.

Hermione said, "You should take Anna or Beth with you, they're better at computers and have seen more Star Trek than I have."

"I'll go see if one of them wants to go."

Sara Kingsley blinked as a slender black haired young man and a red haired female child of eleven or twelve appeared out of thin air without the telltale transporter effect. He looked a bit young to be wearing the red and black of command but stranger things had happened. The child was dressed in a black and yellow Starfleet outfit. "What are you doing here? Who are you?"

Anna replied, "I'm special agent Anna."

"I'm with the high command. Do you have any telepaths and telekinetics available for an important mission?" Harry pulled out his magic wallet and showed the scientist his identification as he hit her with a wandless confusion charm so she'd be more likely to help him without questioning things overly much. He felt a touch bad about it but at the same time, the children would have more of a life with him than they would on the station.

She gulped as she looked at his identification, "Harry Potter of the Temporal Guard… None of them are trained in field operations. If you can wait another couple of months we'll have additional children with advanced immune systems that grow and mature rapidly."

Anna said, "The current batch of telepaths and telekinetics will do just fine."

Harry looked down his nose at the doctor. "I want a copy of all of the teaching programs, gene twists and tech schematics loaded into a runabout as quickly as possible. We'll need them if we want to take your research to the next level and save the Federation."

Sara asked nervously, "What happened?"

"This is need to know only but in ten years, a wormhole opens up and a telepathic alien race will show up and start destroying entire worlds with their Death Stars. Normally we wouldn't interfere but it was deemed bad enough that we stepped in. Can I trust you to get everything loaded while I look over the data for the children I'll be recruiting?" Harry had to work fairly hard not to smirk or anything out of character.

"Of course sir." Sara Kingsley hurried over to the terminal and pulled up the current information she had on the smartest and best children they had. "I'll have some of the other scientists load up the runabout."

"Thank you." Anna started looking through the profiles on the children and picking out people that looked interesting and had high telepathic and telekinetic scores. She wasn't sure what this whole process was supposed to accomplish but it was an interesting summer project.

Harry kept a discreet watch on the various scientists as they hustled around transferring data and various bits of tech.

0o0o0o0

Hermione smiled as Harry and Anna reappeared in the middle of the living room next to the Star Trek book sitting on the table. "How did it go?"

Anna giggled. "Better than I was expecting. Did you know Harry has a magic wallet that creates fake identification?"

Hermione nodded. "I'm aware."

Anna pouted. "Oh."

Harry shrugged. "I used the wallet and a mild confusion charm to pass myself off as a special agent then I simply told the doctor what she wanted to hear, that her project was going to save the Federation. After that she was more than willing to help by copying all of her research files to data storage devices I could stick in my bag. We have a runabout with twelve female telepathic and telekinetic teenagers waiting for us to come back and pick them up."

"How are you getting them out of the book?" Lily asked.

"I have clothes and hair samples. We can probably shrink the runabout and bring it with us, if not then we can rip out the replicator and transporter and bring them with us."

"How much time do we have in the prologue for the Eye of the World?"

Hermione said, "Less than ten minutes I'd say. It shouldn't be a problem though, all we have to do is stay quiet and hidden until the two magic users leave."

Lily asked, "How dangerous are we talking about here?"

Harry winced. "Dangerous enough that one of them calls up a volcano at the end of the prologue."

"A volcano? As in they created an actual volcano?" Lily asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, which is why I'd rather not have them notice us. Once we jump out after that point, we're not coming back until the next scene which is about 3,000 years. Then we've got a little time, half a day or so then it jumps about ten years until the start of the story."

"Which means that anyone that comes here for the main jump and doesn't jump out when you do will be cut off and likely dead by the time we jump back into the story."

Sarah said, "Most likely but they should leave an interesting culture behind."

Lily said, "In that case, we should probably stock up on supplies and books on how to enchant everything under the sun as well as a way to record books on something a bit more durable than paper."

Harry nodded. "The problem is that time flows while we're in the story which means that we'll have a touch less than two months to set things up before we have to jump out to make it to Hogwarts on time."

Hermione frowned. "I'm not sure my parents will let me take a two month long vacation knowing that I'll be gone for the rest of the year."

Lily said, "We're going to need at least a week to track down all of the supplies we need and to recruit enough people to make this worthwhile."

Harry said, "And if we come back with two weeks left of the summer then we'll only be gone a bit over a month. You might be able to talk your parents into that."

"It's worth discussing it with them." Lily was looking forward to seeing what type of society developed over the timeskip.

"In that case, let's get to work making what we need. The master enchanter should be able to help design the memory storage device and some comprehend language rings."

Hermione sighed. "I'm just hoping that my parents let me stay."

"We'll work something out. Let's go talk to the master enchanter and see what we need to work on." Harry looked at Lily, "Do you want to come with us?"

"Of course," Lily replied with amusement.

Tony Stark coughed as a wild haired youth that reminded him a bit too much of Loki appeared out of thin air. "What do you want?"

Harry stared at the white haired old man in the hospital bed, "Fuck, you got old."

Tony asked, "Do I know you?"

"Wow, my own father and you don't even remember me."

Tony snorted. "Nice try but I don't believe you."

"Ah well, would you believe that I'm a magic user from another world and I'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse."

"What's the offer?" Tony asked dubiously.

Harry said, "I'm setting up a city on an island on a different world, I could use your help to set up the power grid and do some city planning as the rest of my team are wizards and not the best when it comes to intelligent logical design work."

Tony coughed. "In other words you want my tech?"

"Nah, just an arc reactor and your expertise on setting things up, in exchange, I'll restore your youth."

Tony asked, "Monkey paw deal?"

"Nah, you'll be thirteen, that's really the only downside, mostly."

"Mostly?"

"Yeah, the magic item I'm going to use to restore your youth turns you into a thirteen year old girl."

"So I'd have to stay a girl?" Tonk shook his head. "Look kid, I might be dying but I'm rather fond of my cock. I've lived with it a long time."

"Seriously, you're on your deathbed and you're angling for a better deal?"

"I'm still alive."

"Blah, you'll be a girl for like a minute or two max if you want. I've got a magical belt that will change you back."

Tony smirked. "In that case, when do we leave and how much can I take with me?"

"Your laptop and a couple of crates should be easy enough."

"Not that I don't trust you but I don't trust you."

Harry pulled out the Loliblade and tossed it to Tony. "Here."

Tony caught the bracelet. "And I'm supposed to do what with this?"

"I'd say walk into the other room and put it on but I don't think you're walking anywhere."

"Not after my legs were broken a few years ago at any rate. I don't suppose this will fix my legs?"

"Your legs, your heart-"

Tony cut him off, "My liver?"

"Normally I'd say yes but you're Tony Stark." Harry replied with amusement.

"Oh sure, be a smart ass with a dying man," Tony complained.

"Tony, just put the damned bracelet on."

Tonk slipped the bracelet on and felt everything twist and change. The first thing he noticed was that he could feel his feet and toes again. The next was that he had perky breasts the size of oranges and certain other equipment was missing. A second look showed him that his hands were also covered in metal claws. "You neglected to mention the metal claws kid."

Harry looked away from the scantily clad girl that until a moment ago had been an old man. "Right, well that's the item. Once you take it off the claws will go away."

"How do I take the item off?"

Harry turned his back on Tony. "Just remove your g-string and it will turn back into a bracelet."

Tony removed the g-string and smiled as it turned into a bracelet. "That's a pretty decent trick you have there. Now about the gender swapping belt?"

"As soon as you give me the bracelet back." Harry turned around. "You make a rather cute girl, which is all sorts of creepy."

Tony tossed him the bracelet. "You're the one that goes around turning people into girls."

Harry put the bracelet away in his pocket. "Yeah well it's the best way I've found to make someone younger." He pulled out the belt and tossed it to Tony then turned around again.

Tony caught the belt. "Actually, do you have twenty minutes? I mean if I didn't at least catch a shower as a girl, I'd lose my man credit."

Harry laughed. "Take all the time in the bathroom you need, I need to hit a bookstore."

"There's one across the street that's pretty good or so I hear." Tony walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

"Have fun playing with yourself." Harry smiled as he left the room on his way to the bookstore to see if they had Wheel of Time books.

Hermione glanced at the fake plastic laptop and the two large crates that Harry had put in the closet next to the teenage mannequin. "Do you really think this will work?"

Harry set Tony's arc reactor in the mannequin's hand. "Only one way to find out." He stepped back and closed the door then inserted his magic key and locked and unlocked the door. "Tony?"

Tony called out, "Why is it dark in here?"

Harry opened the door. "Because it's a closet."

Tony looked at Harry and Hermione then winked at Hermione, "You're new."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Apparently he's a diehard flirt."

Harry laughed. "He'll fit right in."

Tony stepped out of the closest and looked around. "Where am I?"

"Godric's Hollow in England."

"I'm going to need a desk."

Hermione gestured toward the table. "I've got Arcturus' notes on what he wants, maybe we can turn it into something reasonable."

"I said I'd give it a shot and I will," Tony replied.

Harry said, "I'm going to go make sure the twins have the list of objectives."

0o0o0o0o0

Harry looked over the twenty five ex-werewolves that he'd mostly cured by having them wear the Loliblade then pulling them into a book during the full moon. After that it was a simple matter to hand the ex-men the gender flipping belt then pay the temple to break the curse while they weren't wolf girls which left everyone with a female wolf girl form and a male or female normal form as appropriate. He turned his attention to the five female and fifteen male purebloods that Arcturus had recruited that wanted an island where they didn't have to hide their magic. He didn't blame them for wanting a place where they could practice their magic.

He turned his attention to Tony Stark and the twelve telepathic and telekinetic teenagers that he'd pulled into the world via lifesize dolls and his magic key. Thankfully it hadn't taken them all that long to figure out what the deal was and come to terms with being pulled out of a book via magic. He guessed that being able to feel a person's sincerity helped them believe the unbelievable.

He glanced over at Kreacher who was trying to watch over several crates filled with sleeping magic rabbits and owls. They'd decided against taking a lot of the stupid magical creatures though they were taking a couple of kneazles and things that weren't pests. They were also taking several crates worth of seeds for various useful magical plants. He'd vetoed several of the old idiots' desire to take things like mandrakes and anything that could be considered a pest. Thankfully Sirius was really good at sniffing that crap out because there had been a couple of attempts at importing things that didn't need to come with them.

Everyone was loaded up with expanded featherlight bags that contained several months worth of supplies. "I'll go over this one last time. Sarah will be making everyone invisible and silent, it should last ten to twenty minutes, we shouldn't need more than five. Once I bring you to the other world, your job is to quietly spread out and wait for everyone to get there and for the two dangerous magic users to leave."

One of the female ex-werewolves asked, "How dangerous are they?"

"One of them makes Voldemort look like an innocent five year old and the other is that world's most powerful magic user and quite insane. Both can and will kill you as easily as I can snap my fingers."

Tony muttered. "Great…"

Harry nodded, "Yeah, which means that everyone needs to stay silent. I'll be jumping in and out until everyone is brought into the world. Once the two rather dangerous wizards leave we'll loot the palace then fly south to an island where a number of the world's magic users have settled. Once we're there, we'll set up the base camp then see about recruiting some local talent."

Moody spoke up, "Stay silent," he glared at Tonks, "and don't knock anything over. Actually, it's better if you don't even move once we get there until the magic users are gone."

Nymphadora sighed. "I'm not that bad."

"Just try not to get us killed."

Sarah gestured and turned the lot of them and the crates silent and invisible to everyone other than themselves. "We're ready."

Harry set the book down on the table and opened it to the first page. "Let's do this." He reached out with his magic and pulled the first group of werewolves and Moody into the book. He pointed his wand at the dirty looking middle aged man with more white in his hair than brown and relaxed slightly when the man didn't seem to notice their group. He gestured for everyone to spread out then jumped back for the next group.

Moody gestured toward two of the werewolves and pointed his wand at the middle aged wizard just in case he noticed him and the plan went to shit.

Anna blinked as she appeared with the next group of magic users. She twitched as the man in black appeared with a shimmer. Certain things would be so much better if the Betrayer of Hope were dead but she wasn't sure he was killable by them and they certainly didn't have what it would take to kill him permanently. She twitched as Lews Therin started screaming in agony. 'Please don't notice us, please don't notice us.'

Arcturus took a chance and silently cast a monster breeding spell to collect a sperm sample from the screaming magic user. The fact that it was banned by the ministry didn't really matter all that much to him because the Ministry no longer mattered. He was just hoping the magic was different enough that the men didn't notice. He was relieved when the man in black didn't even glance his way.

Lily twitched as she watched the scene play out before her. It was hard not trying to 'help' but as Anna explained, it set the tone for the entire series.

Harry popped back in with the last group and smiled slightly when he saw Lews Therin open a gate and step through. He briefly considered blasting the man in black but didn't want to deal with the butterflies that would cause. He watched until the man vanished before he took a deep breath and let it out.

One of the telepathic girls spoke up. "They're gone."

"Thank you." Harry gestured around the ruined palace. "Now we loot the place to the ground. Take any books, tapestries or paintings."

Lily said, "Feel free to take anything else that looks interesting."

Anna spoke up, "If something feels magical use tongs and take it. Don't leviate it or use other magic on it as we're not sure if we can activate this world's magic items and I'd rather not find out on something dangerous."

Moody said, "You heard her, stay alert and be careful."

"You have ten minutes to loot everything to the ground, I want to be out of here before anyone shows back up."

0o0o0o0

Arcturus wasn't overly impressed by his first view of the island as it was snow covered and rather inhospitable. He was just glad that they'd packed a magical tent for everyone. Sure, the tents wouldn't last forever but they didn't need to as they'd have the town built in a couple of weeks. He put his broom back in his bag and glanced around the beach. "Now what?"

James glanced around the beach then over at the rocky area next to it. "Now we use Tony's plans and start building a basic town while Lily and Harry use the translation rings to recruit some local talent."

Harry looked over at Anna, "I don't suppose you know anything else useful about this island? The guide book didn't say much useful, just that it was as big as Australia."

Anna said, "Just that a bunch of male channelers came here and then went insane and tore the place up after breeding enough that it was a continual issue."

Beth shrugged. "They shouldn't be completely insane yet which gives us a small window to recruit some help in order to build a guardian style magic item that covers the island in a field so that male channelers can't use their magic."

Arcturus asked, "How sure are you that the device won't mess with our own magical abilities?"

"We can test that by finding a stedding, if our magic works in it, then we shouldn't have any problems. We're also magic sources so we shouldn't have any trouble regardless."

Moody said, "We'll put up some muggle repelling wards over the area."

Lily glanced over at the telepathic teenagers then over at Tony. "Just remember that we have non-magical people around."

"That's not a problem, we'll just make a temporary line further out."

Arcturus looked over at the twenty witches and wizards he'd brought. "Let's get the tents set up and out of the cold." He glanced at Remus. "If you wouldn't mind scouting the area?"

Remus nodded. "Of course."

Lily looked at Harry. "Let's go see if we can find someone to help."

0o0o0o0

Harry wasn't sure if he was impressed or not by the large stone structure the men had carved into the side of a large hill. It wasn't great but at least it provided some type of shelter from the weather. He'd been rather shocked that someone had welcomed them in rather politely when they'd seen them flying past on their broomsticks. Everyone seemed rather haunted though still mostly sane which wasn't overly surprising as the source hadn't been tainted all that long. He addressed the man in his early twenties that had invited them in, "How many people do you have here?"

The dark brown haired man said, "There were four hundred of us when we came here, there are probably closer to three hundred and fifty now. Some of them went crazy and some wandered off. We're trying to limit how much of the power we use."

Lily asked, "Have you made any progress curing the taint?"

The man sighed, "No, the more power we use the faster the madness takes us or at least that's the current theory. We're hoping it's a temporary thing..." the man noticed the look on Harry's face. "We're wrong aren't we?"

Harry sighed. "Sadly, a friend of mine had a foretelling, the source will be tainted for thousands of years but we might have a possible solution or at least a way to keep the knowledge you've worked so hard for alive."

The man half asked half demanded, "How?"

Lily said, "We have a ter'angreal that can record memories and thus how people create their weaves."

"So that even if we fall our knowledge doesn't fall with us..." After several moments of thought the man smiled. "That is welcome news."

Lily pulled a ring of protection from evil out of her bag. "This might help with the taint. If it does then we can get more, if it doesn't then it's back to the drawing board."

The man nodded, "We'll have to test it but if it helps at all then it's worth it." he gestured for them to follow him then led them toward where the leaders were meeting for a council.

Harry absently followed the man as he wondered how many of the men would be insane by the time they left and if there was a way to save them other than severing their connection to magic then compelling them to live or just shielding them extremely well. He wasn't sure what he'd do if forced to deal with that choice, lose his life or lose his magic, it wasn't fair but the world wasn't fair.

The man knocked on the door of the council chamber.

Another young man opened the door. "Yes?"

"A woman claims that she might have a possible solution for the taint or at least a partial work around as well as a device for copying memories and thus weaves."

The man that had opened the door stepped back and gestured for them to come inside. "If you're wasting our time…'

"I'm not," Lily replied.

Harry followed his mother into the council chambers. It wasn't much of a council room, just a room that had been carved into the rock with magic or at least that's what he was assuming. The chairs such as they were, were just blocks of smooth stone. The men sitting around the place were older looking men which meant that they were likely several centuries old or more as one of them looked quite old.

Lily held out the ring. "This might help block the taint or at least help against the madness."

One of the council members asked, "What does it do?"

"It protects against mental influence and against evil magic for lack of a better world. It might help, it might not."

The man nodded. "We've tried a number of options for blocking the taint, I'm more interested in your ter'angreal that lets us store memories."

"I'll show you if you want," Lily replied.

"Please." The man gestured for the younger man to step forward. "Record a memory and then display it and we'll talk."

Lily pulled her memory device out of her bag which looked a lot like a short stout crystal goblet with a hole in the center. "You merely wrap your hand around it and concentrate on the memory you want to record. If you want, I'll show you."

"Please do."

Lily concentrated on the boat ride to Hogwarts. A silvery substance bubbled up from the hole and formed into a small crystal marble. "That should do it. The viewer please Harry."

Harry reached into his bag and pulled out the viewer which was basically little more than a rune carved metal pyramid with a circular indentation cut in the point. He accepted the crystal marble from his mother then put the crystal on top of the pyramid then tilted it toward the wall so that the scene on the lake was shown on the wall.

The old man asked, "That is a strange structure."

"It was a strange school. The device will also let you touch the crystal and travel into the memory so that you're present at the site of the memory but this is sufficient to show that it works."

The old man nodded. "How is it used?"

"You merely grasp the handle and think about what you want stored, anything from a single memory to everything you have."

Another council member asked, "Everything?"

Lily shrugged. "Everything. I suggest you limit it to knowledge of every weave you know and all of your memories of channeling but the extra memories won't hurt anything. You can be very selective if you want to be."

The younger man asked, "May I try?"

"Be my guest." Lily handed him the crystal goblet like device. "Just concentrate on the memory you want to transfer then squeeze the cup and will it to happen." Technically squeezing it wasn't required but it was a decent focus which helped.

The man concentrated on the first time he actually used the healing weave on a living creature then squeezed the goblet and smiled when the silvery liquid poured up from the hole in the cup and crystallized in a marble. "There."

Harry held out his hand. "It's safe to touch."

The man picked up the memory and handed it to Harry.

Harry placed the crystal of his mother's boat ride in his pocket then put the new marble on the top of the pyramid and projected a new scene with glowing threads of light and a wounded dog on the wall. "I'm guessing the glowing light is your magic?"

The younger man nodded. "That's the memory I was trying to show and yes, the glowing strands are threads of the power."

The old man asked, "You can see the threads?"

"It's not exactly useful for the rest of us but yes we can see the threads if only because they're part of his memory." Lily wondered if there was a way to weave this world's spells using her type of magic but she'd leave that for a long term project.

Several other men around the table smiled as they realized that they could record all of their knowledge in a form that would last through the ages. One of them asked, "Remarkable. What are you looking for in exchange?"

"A copy of all of the memories so that I can make a second repository. I'd also like a channeler's help in figuring out a solution to the taint problem."

"A great deal of people have tried and the more someone channels the sooner the madness takes them."

"How long do you think you can keep from channeling? A month, a year? Maybe five? Every time you do, you're one step closer to madness. On the other hand, if you don't try then nothing will get better."

The younger man that showed them in spoke up. "I volunteer to help. I don't have any extremely valuable talents and my strength isn't the best."

The older man that had first spoke sighed. "Very well."

Lily held out the ring. "Put that on and try channeling a small flame."

The man slipped the ring on then grabbed the tainted source and was surprised when the taint seemed to recoil from him. "That's new. The taint seems to be recoiling, it's still nasty but it doesn't seem as bad." He channeled fire and created a ball of flame over his hand. "It's not perfect but it's a step in the right direction."

Harry said, "If nothing else it might let people use the power enough to not go insane."

Lily asked, "Does that mean we have a deal? The memory devices for a copy of all of the memories?"

The man nodded. "Yes, how many more rings can you create?"

"I'll ask our enchanter as soon as we get back to camp."

The younger man asked, "I've been meaning to ask, how did you fly on a broomstick?"

Harry said, "The broomsticks are magic."

Another council member that hadn't spoken before asked, "How did you get them to fly?"

Lily shrugged. "I'd ask the person that creates them but I'd just get a long boring lecture that doesn't help me." The truth was she knew how to enchant a broom she just didn't want to tell the council that. They were rather desperate men and desperate people did a lot of stupid things. She wanted the alliance to work but she didn't want to be stuck there crafting things for the Aes Sedai council.

Harry said, "We should probably get started so we can make it back before it gets dark."

"That's a good point."

The leader looked at the two younger men. "Make sure nothing happens to our guests as they collect memories."

Hermione looked up from her spell book as Harry walked into their tent with a slight smile on his face. "How did the meeting go?"

Harry walked over to his chair and sat down. "I think we made a favorable impression and the protection ring seems to help. They seem like nice enough people though I get the feeling that they're rather scared. What did you work on?"

"I've been researching how to create glasses that can see magic potential. Being able to tell at a glance if someone has any magical potential or mystical abilities sounds useful."

"Any luck?"

"With some help from James, I should have a prototype tomorrow."

"That should help know who to recruit. What about the twins?" Harry was curious what the adorable troublemakers were up to.

Anna walked out of the bedroom without a stitch on which was rather normal for her. "We cleared snow and worked on knocking up the psychic girls using the gender belt and a luck potion."

Beth walked out. "We also talked two of the psychics into using the belt and trying to knock up the female wolf girls."

Harry asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Beth walked over and sat down in Harry's lap. "We have a month or so to make sure everyone is pregnant. As much as I'll be sad about not getting to see my sons or daughters, they'll have a good life. Besides, this way we have a chance to seduce our great something grandchildren and that makes me horny."

Anna snickered as she licked her lips. "I'm looking forward to it."

Harry hugged Beth to him. "If you're okay with it."

"I'm okay. Besides, in eight or nine years, we'll have the chance to have children with Hermione who we'll get to raise, spoil and love."

Hermione said, "That could be interesting."

"Is there anything else we need to collect from this point in time?" Harry asked.

Anna considered what she knew about the world. "I wouldn't mind sneaking around and stunning some female Aes Sedai so that we can copy their memories. The channelers here will eventually have girls that someone will have to train."

"We have a copy of the two female Aes Sedai that came with the men but that's not really enough to get all of the talents."

Beth said, "I'd like to copy the memories of some of the ter'angreal experts. Maybe even stun some of them and use the gender reversal belt so that we can get sperm samples."

Hermione said, "That seems a bit sketchy."

Anna said, "Just think of it as helping the future."

Beth floated off Harry's lap then sat down on the edge of the table. "I'd rather not have the ability to make ter'angreal lost for three thousand years if I can help it."

"That's a good point." Harry yawned. "We should catch some sleep. We can see if Hermione's enchanted glasses work tomorrow then we can look for libraries and such to save. We just have to be careful."

Thanks to the desire to build a permanent shelter and James helping Hermione finish the magic potential detection glasses the next week was rather busy. Several groups were sent off to scour the land for books that needed copying while several groups scoured the land for particularly strong channelers so they could get copies of their memories.

James looked around the table where Hermione, Harry, Anna, Beth, Lily, Moody, Sirius, Arcturus and Nymphadora had gathered to discuss their options. "We've been here a week, the town is going well and we're even finding some females on the island that are likely to produce channelers that we can talk into having a child for security in a crazy world and a place in the town. That said, there is only so much we can do without causing butterflies."

Anna spoke up, "Here."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that the portal stones can take groups to parallel worlds where we could recruit to our heart's content."

Beth said, "Both people and items."

Arcturus asked, "How dangerous are the portal stones?"

Anna said, "They're not the safest way to travel but some of the Aes Sedai have studied them so it's possible that at least one of them knows of a world that isn't too dangerous or at least no worse than this one. We can offer them safety if we can get the dampening field up."

Lily said, "We can generate the field, it's just a matter of spreading the wardstones out in a way that makes sure there aren't gaps."

Arcturus frowned. "I don't think they'll take that lying down."

"Actually, they're in favor of it at least for now."

"Why?"

"Because their magic is tainted and we found out something interesting. A witch or wizard can charge one of their magic wells with clean energy without much difficulty and without danger or harm which means they can channel without going insane as long as there is someone around to charge their wells. It's not a perfect solution but it's enough of one that the council is willing to endorse the plan to cut off the male half of the source here."

"That's fantastic." Anna giggled. "That means that we afford to send people to alternate worlds and recruit people and steal ter'angreal and such things."

"Not to mention people." Beth smiled as she thought about the group that would turn into the tower and their treasure trove of ter'angreal. "There is also the treasure trove the Aiel have and the alternate female group that will be forming the tower. Eventually raiding the stone of Tear makes sense but as the crystal sword is useless right now, there isn't much point as it's not filled up with ter'angreal yet."

Arcturus asked, "How many people are you thinking about grabbing?"

"As many as we can talk into coming with us. I know of one world symbol where the monsters eventually win and thus humanity dies. At this point, that shouldn't have happened yet which means we can grab anyone that wants to come without worrying about butterflies."

Sirius said, "I like it but you're not going at least until we can make sure it's safe."

Arcturus said, "Agreed, we have at least five wizards that are too stupid to breed considering some of the crap they wanted to put in the town and their complaints about not having some of the more dangerous and nearly pointless creatures."

Nymphadora shook her head. "That's mean."

"Yeah, well, I don't care. I'm trying for a society of intelligent magic users, not the same old shit from back home. If they manage to live we'll see."

Harry said, "In that case we should probably make a list of worlds we can jump to and make some copies of the maps for the various groups."

Remus spoke up, "I know some of the wolf crew would be willing to help."

Moody said, "I'm willing to help lead a group as long as someone can upgrade my sunglasses with the magic potential detection ability."
