Voltron Wizards to Paladins

ESKK: Well at long last a new chapter and one with more original stuff then before. Now then let's begin this chapter shall we.

(Start Castle of Lions)

The group had designated the Rowena's lair as the official drop off and pick up for Dobby's trips between the Castle of Lions and Earth more specifically an area that would avoid harming or damaging the items Hermione was working with in there. Allura had told Dobby to take breaks between the trips to gather his strength and he followed it without question. This in turn allowed Dobby time to gather what was needed between the two worlds mainly care packages and delivering mails to relatives and family members.

Luckily Dumbledore was able to weave a tale of how Harry had acquired an apprenticeship as did Cedric, Hermione, Ron, and Draco as to explain their absence. In one of his messages he asked if Harry would consider returning soon but Harry plainly told him no plus judging by the Calendar the anniversary was approaching. Allura did not know it to point but she knew Harry's parents had died protecting him when he was but a babe thus she made sure to keep an ear out on this.

It wasn't long until a familiar popping sound was heard and from it Dobby returned with the letters as well as a few machines parts Hermione had requested before. Upon arriving Hermione got up from her work and went over to a system that she had managed to set up for him and activated it which sent the signal to the Paladins. Mail Call began to flash on the screen and thus went to the others and it wouldn't be long till the others arrive. But then she smiled at one last person had arrived as well.

"Professor Lupin." Hermione greeted as she saw Remus Lupin was on the floor holding his stomach from such a long trip.

"Hello Ms. Hrmgh." HE began but held his stomach down before continuing. "Ms. Granger." Remus greeted as the former DADA had finally arrived.

"Moony!" Sirius was heard as the door had slid open and the two marauders met up.

"Hello Padfoot how is your space adventure here." Remus asked as he got his stomach to settle down a bit.

"Quite well and I assume you already know of Allura and Coran." Sirius said as it wasn't long till the two mentioned arrived followed by the Paladins.

"It's an honor to meet you your majesty." Remus said knowing the poor girls tragic tale but still opted to treat her with the respect she deserved considering her wasn't just representing Earth but all Lycans on it.

"No need we are friends here Mr. Lupin." Allura greeted as she looked to the Werewolf. "And I understand that you have a once of month ailment of Lycanthropy correct?" Allura asked to which Remus solemnly nodded. "Very well I had set up a room for you for those rare times but I would also like to run some tests to see if different full moons would have any effect upon it." Allura requested surprising Remus but she wasn't done. "Furthermore I'd also want your word that it will not be a danger to the ship or the crew, so long as you take the needed precautions and vice versa." Allura said to which Remus smiled happy to see someone treated him like any other person.

"Of course Princess." Remus said as Harry then came out of nowhere and hugged Remus.

"Glad to see you again Moony." Harry greeted smiling to Remus glad he was here.

"Hello Prongslet." Remus greeted in return happy to see Harry was all well and good.

Draco opted to stay out of this one and go through his mother's care package while Ron was going through his meager stuff. "Here Weasley." Draco said offering some of his care package to Ron. "You'll need it." Draco said offering some new robes and sweets for Ron.

"Thanks mate." Ron said happy to have some good stuff for himself.

When Harry let go he went to see what Molly and Dumbledore had sent over for him to which Harry did a small smile to Allura. "Blimey your right, padfoot." Remus said seeing how Harry looked over to Allura when he thought her not looking and vice versa. "It seems these two do fancy one another." Remus said as he wondered how long before they come out with it.

"Come on once we got the mail sorted and put away we can start the tour." Sirius said happy to show Remus around the flying castle.

"Dobby will return to working and cleaning Mistress High Elf." Dobby said as despite not liking the mistress bit Allura was more than welcoming to Dobby's aid.

"Of course, Dobby." Allura said before Dobby vanished with a pop and got to work on his duties.

"Oh and Dobby can you transport this one back to Earth for the next trip with this letter." Hermione requested as she had a cat carrier with her for her feline friend. I understand she is close to me but I think home is where she is needed more." Hermione said as Crookshanks wasn't much help out here.

"And bring Hedwig also I don't think she likes being in space that often." Harry said as the owl has been keeping the others up being cooped up inside the Castle of Lions.

"Of course Dobby will be happy to help the Great Harry Potter and Greeny Paladin Granger." Dobby said as he was more than happy to help.

(Scene Break Command Deck)

After the tour the Paladins got to work on deciphering information from Sendak's memories. Remus of course was given the update of things thus far from the incident with those fake freedom fighters to now. Needless to say when he heard about everything thus far he was worried over the fact the group had nearly died on 5 separate occasions already. But he was also impressed with how Hermione made a virtual Wizarding Britain that reached as far as Scotland in that regard.

Remus was greatly intrigued by the stories of the Altean people and after hearing how Draco reacted wondered if their Magic was in fact Quintessence manipulation and if so considered the possibility that humans were descendant of Altean in some way or form. Right now the Paladins plus Coran, Sirius, and Remus were gathered around Hermione as she was going over the data while the light reflected off of Harry's glasses watching Hermione work.

"Somewhere inside Sendak's memories we should be able to find the inside information that gives us the key to take down Zarkon." Allura said while they went through the data.

"I don't think your father would approve of searching through an enemy's memories." Coran said with his arms crossed while looking through the information as well.

"I know, but we have to do everything we can to defeat Zarkon." Allura said while she stood up straight.

"Once we learn all his weaknesses, we can just stroll up to his palace on Planet Doom and challenge him to a duel. The victor gets the universe." Draco said with mental images of himself as the Space King with a flag of his face and Slytherin crest as well as what appeared to be a lightsaber and some Princess Leia look-a-like with his foot atop a defeated yet cartoonish Zarkon... yeah Draco raided Hermione's movie collection again.

"Planet Doom?" Harry asked skeptical about that.

"The Galra had a home world but I am positive it was never called Planet Doom." Allura said while she shared similar sentiments to Harry about Draco spouting nonsense.

"I think we've been an influence on him." Ron said getting some dejavu from when they were first years.

Everyone gave the pureblood Slytherin a skeptical look before Cedric spoke up next. "Have you found anything yet Hermione?" Cedric asked while he looked over to Hermione.

"We were only able to salvage fragments here and there." Hermione said sounding like she hadn't found anything useful.

Harry sighed in defeat wondering if it could actually be this difficult to begin with. "We need something to work with. Right now we don't even have a decent star map of the Empire." Harry said noting how the current Star Maps they have were outdated by a large margin.

"Who needs a bloody map? I wager that after 10,000 years of conquering I can fire my Bayard or cast an attack spell at any random direction and hit a Galra ship regardless." Draco argued as despite the physical impossibility of that Hermione had to confess Draco had a good point.

"If we could just find their Troop Locations or supply routes, small targets we can hit-and-run, we can begin performing raids on them and start freeing planets one by one." Sirius said remembering how the Death Eaters had done such raids but for different reasons.

"Boring." Draco said sliding in. "We got the most powerful weapon in the bloody Universe I say we use it." Draco said to which Remus sighed in response.

"If what you told me is accurate Zarkon has been building his empire for over 10,000 years." Remus began while looking over the group. "I doubt any of us can topple it overnight with five inexperienced pilots and the castle acting as support." Remus said to which Draco hated to admit it but the werewolf had a point.

"He's right hitting him where he lives would be suicide." Cedric said in total agreement on this assessment.

"Ok, I've cross-referenced Sendak's memories with the information from the crashed Galra ship back on Planet Arus. Most of it was a mess of gibberish, but one thing kept repeating, something called a, Universal Station." Hermione while she looked over to the others.

"Universal Station?" Ron asked looking to the screen before them. "Like is this Galra HQ then?" Ron said as to him it sounded like a universal remote Hermione had talked about at times.

"Well, we are translating it from Galra, so it's either Zarkon's Base of Operations or a Galactic Hub." Hermione said pushing Ron out of the way.

"Or a Space Base." Draco quipped trying to make a pun to which everyone started glaring at him.

Draco seeing this got confused at all the glaring. "What too soon?" He asked to which Cedric responded by smacking the back of his head causing a yelp from him. "Oi what was that for?!" Draco demanded only for Harry to speak up.

"Just be glad it wasn't Hermione punching you or using her Bayard on you." Harry responded to which Draco eased up not wanting to experience those two events ever again.

"I'm pulling up the location of your Universal Hub Station Base on our screens now." Coran said as he began to walk away and get the coordinates of the place Hermione spoke of. Once he did this the screen showed three planets orbiting close to each other in a triangular formation.

But they only saw the planets nothing else to which Draco voiced it out. "So, where is it?" Draco asked as he was skeptical now.

"I don't know. Our long ranges sensors are unable to find anything at those coordinates." Coran said to which Harry looked to it intently.

"Maybe he remembered it wrong." Harry said theorizing what could have happened.

"Or maybe we stumbled upon a top-secret base in Sendak's memories." Hermione said to which Sirius saw this as well.

"It's not a Fidelimus Charm but it could be similar." Sirius said remembering the spell that basically handed James and Lily on over to Voldemort so long ago.

"Only one way to find out." Allura said knowing what to do. "Let's go take a look." Allura ordered to which they began to depart to the location in question.

(Scene Break)

The Castle of Lions then flew off and began making its way to the location of the hidden base. It flew to through the darkness of space with a destination I mind unknown to what they may find there.

(Later Castle of Lions Command Deck)

Ron was sleeping on his seat waiting for their arrival at the hidden base. But as he slept Allura was soon heard which aroused him from slumber. "We should be close enough to get a good scan, but far enough to avoid being noticed." Allura said as it seems Draco had also took a snooze as he was stretching to get his joins back into place. Ron meanwhile fell off his seat before he got up trying to salvage what dignity he had.

(Outside the Castle)

The Castle of Lions flew passed a planet to see where the hidden Galra Base was or what it truly was hoping to find some clue to its information. Once the ship flew past the planet they saw what was hidden in all its glory as it appeared to be attached to a smaller planet.

(Castle of Lions Command Deck)

"There it is." Cedric said seeing what the Galra had tried to keep hidden.

"It appears the gravitation between the two planets warps the electron emission spectrum enough to keep the planet off the deep space scanners." Coran said compiling the data to which only Hermione had a good enough understanding to know what it meant.

"So you can only see it if you truly know where to look." Hermione summarized as this made this a perfect place to hide something you don't really want to be found.

"This place must handle cargo from all over the Galra Empire," Cedric said as she sees ship coming and going from the huge station as Hermione question about it, "If this is some big airport the cargo come and go, why is it hidden?"

"There must be more of this than we're seeing," Cedric said as Draco soon asked, "What's an airport?"

"It's almost like a train station but with huge vehicles that are like spaceship, called planes, but they don't go into space. They fly around the world to other similar places that they are also called air ports."

"And plane looks like a space ship?" Draco question as Hermione sighed to this and said, "Not really, they are longer and have huge wings on the sides

"Muggles places are so confusing at times," Draco said with Allura typing a few thing, on her screen, as she said, "Then, we better go down to take a look. We'll need to enter here: the central control building.

Harry looks at Allura and said, "I'm sorry, Allura, did you say "We"? AS in you including?"

"Yes I did, I'm going with you. I've traveled through the Galra transportation hubs many times with my father before the war began," Allura told as she looks at everyone and said to them, "I know more about them than any of you."

"Princess, I'd rather you say here," Coran said to Allura, worry about the risk there could be as Sirius said, "It could make this even more dangerous if these Galra found out you were there."

"I'm a part of this fight against Zarkon as much as anyone. I'm going," Allura said to Coran and Sirius as she look to everyone else as she question them in a strong tone, "Does anyone have a problem with that?"

Everyone stayed quite as Ron started rubbing his head, Hermione rub her arm, Draco just whistled to stay out of the argument, and Harry just keep his cool.

Cedric saw no one was objecting to this as he said, "Alright then, suit up."

Coran of course gasped in shock while Remus and Sirius and the four other Paladins looked to the Hufflepuff in shock. Remus was still new here so he had no idea how to respond to this but regardless they all knew Allura had a point. Even though it's been 10,000 years she was still the best person for this mission and how she knew the place like the back of her hand.

(Scene Break Later)

After suiting up the Paladins plus Allura were loaded up in Rowena as the Green lion flew through space. Harry made sure to bring his Cloak of Invisibility with him knowing there may be a time to use it during the mission. Hermione of course knowing how dangerous things would get had opted to send her cat Crookshanks back to her parents while Harry sent Hedwig back home through Dobby. They may not like the act but it was for the best since the Mice had their mental link to Allura making them useful plus he was promised by Dumbledore and the Weasley Hedwig would be looked after while Hermione was promised the same by her parents.

"Ok we'll go in low, fast, and hopefully undetected. Coming around the dark side of the nearest planet should keep them from spotting us as we make our approach." Cedric was heard explaining the plan in the memories of everyone involved just as Rowena began to cloak. "Thanks to Hermione's modifications to Rowena, we'll have 30 seconds of cloaking." Cedric explained as the Green Lion Rowena arrived at the base.

"I can flood their short-range sensors with a radiation burst. That should buy you a minute or so, while they assume its cosmic interference." Coran's memory spoke as Rowena began to land on the ground. "But, after that, it's up to you to stay out of sight." Coran urged to which Rowena became visible again after landing.

"Whatever you do be careful and don't get caught alright." Remus was recalled urging them. "I may not be knowledgeable on the dangers you all face thus I can only ask you exercise caution." Remus said worried for his friend's son and surrogate nephew just as the Paladins began to depart from Rowena.

(Later in the Galra Command Bridge)

"Interference clear in three, two; one." Came the male voice of the intercom as the Soldier plus two androids were observing things from their station. So far like every other day things were boring for them as they awaited the next ship to arrive and depart. It was a boring station since nothing ever happens here seeing as it's well hidden. In fact the Soldier who was in charge yawned a bit with how slow and boring things were.

But unaware to him things were about to get interesting... just not in his favor. "Pardon me." Came a voice from behind him to which the Soldier looked and in turn saw Cedric there.

"Huh?" The Soldier asked only to be given an uppercut curtesy of Cedric.

The two androids saw this as they looked up and in turn saw the Paladins of Voltron plus Allura here. Cedric had his power glove active while the four Paladins had both Bayard's and wands drawn for this. Needless to say outnumbered and out gunned the victor was going to be obvious.

(Outside)

Lights flashed of different colors from the window as one could see the image of laser blasts and spells firing off from the right angle on the window. Even a Galra Android was sent hurtling upward before coming back down in a splat of machinery.

(Back inside)

The battle was over as quickly as it began to which Draco was seen dragging an android to the side to both keep hidden and keep it out of the way. Hermione was working on her computer while Harry kept vigil and all the while Cedric and Allura simply observed what Hermione was doing. During this Hermione was using Cedric's Glove as a means to connect figuring that Galra tech would be a good method to access their technology through alternative methods.

"Any trouble Harry?" Cedric asked looking over to Harry.

"All clear mates." Harry responded seeing that things were clear for the time being. But every so often Harry's spared a glance at Allura as he remembered what Sirius had said before... in fact from her crouching position Harry had a good view of her rear to which he blushed and looked away. Allura of course was having similar glances but she tried to keep it hidden as she remembered what her Father's AI had said before she... had to unplug him.

"This should take too long." Ron said as he was basically Hermione's lab assistant right now.

"We'll have all the information we need in a few moments." Hermione said as Draco arrived and observed. "I've been working on some improvements since the last time I tried to download Galra info." Hermione explained as she began to access and on screen it showed a cord of sorts between Hermione's drives and the Galra drives with a cartoonish image of herself as a cute anime cat girl acting as the connector. "We should get a proper clean translation immediately." Hermione said as the Hermione like image laughed and did a Nya sound during the download.

"How you pull that off Granger?" Draco asked watching how things played out.

"Believe it or not Ron had a great idea on how to do it." Hermione said to which Ron sat down on a down droid.

"Yeah I was thinking about all the Poltergeist and the things they had learned when alive and dead. It reminded me of a joke I heard one time. See the joke goes." Ron began but Harry then cut him off.

"Oi mates sorry to be a bother but I think we have guests." Harry said looking up as a shadow began to cover their area. The group all ducked for cover seeing a Galra Cruiser coming in to dock. "I think we should get out of here fast." Harry said in a whisper as he went to the group and was crouching next to Allura.

"I just need a few more seconds." Hermione whispered while she worked.

"Stay low mates. We need this information." Cedric urged just before then jumped at the console coming to life with a communication link.

"Get down." Harry urged as the group scattered just in time to see the screen activate and a Galra soldier walk into view.

When he came into view he then made a surprised sound seeing no one was there like they should be. After some time of silence Draco spoke up seeing the problem a bit. "He's still looking. I think he's waiting for a signal or something." Draco said grateful he took some time to read what he should know while he was out here between missions.

"I got an idea." Ron said as he began to quietly move about while dragging the downed android.

He then lifted it up and began moving it in certain gestures to make it so the Galra Soldier wouldn't suspect a thing. First it was a wave, then a point, and finally a thumbs up. Once this was done the Soldier responded with a wave as well assuming vocal communications may be down and understood this as approval to land and unload their things here.

Once the Communication ended Draco began making his way to Ron with a smile. "Good work Weasley." Draco said as the red headed Yellow Paladin smiled.

"Thanks mate." Ron said as he then used the Galra's androids severed arm to give Draco a high five.

"Okay, download complete." Hermione said getting everyone's attention.

"What's it say?" Harry asked to which Hermione looked closer and was almost surprised by this.

"Nothing. This place doesn't have any useful information. Just a schedule of the ships coming in and out." Hermione said to which this was a complete let down.

"Blast so this entire mission was a fool's errand." Draco cursed unhappy that they came all this way for nothing.

"Best we head back to the Castle." Cedric said but then Allura spoke up.

"Hold on." Allura began catching everyone's attention. "Hermione, do you know where that ship is heading?" Allura asked pointing to the ship that just landed.

Hermione began to read the schedule and saw the ship that just arrived. "It's scheduled to be here for about a half an hour, then head off for central Command." Hermione said after reading through the information.

Allura then stood up and looked to the ship in question. "That's where they have the information we need, and I'm going to sneak aboard that ship and get it for us." Allura said to which everyone was shocked at this.

"What have you gone nutters?" Draco asked seeing no way for Allura to pull this off even with Harry's cloak of Invisibility.

"I'm with Draco on this. How are you even going to get in?" Harry asked curious as to how Allura would be able to pull this off.

Allura then smiled and removed her helmet as the smile showed she had an idea. "I'm going to walk right through the front." Allura said before closing her eyes and focusing on something. Then to their shock her skin tone changed from her normal chocolate brown color to that of a Galra Violet color. Even more they were awed when her size began to increase to match that of a Galra which in turn allowed her to tower over them all.

"How the bloody hell did you do that?!" Ron asked in shock as he began to imagine every situation they had been in where THAT would have been useful to have.

"The Altean people are a Chameleon-like people who can blend in with the local populations." Allura began explaining to the awestruck wizards and witch. "It's the ability that's made us great explorers and diplomats throughout our history." Allura explained to which Hermione recognized a similar ability from their world.

"Wait so you're like a Metamorphmagus of our world." Hermione said to which eyes were on her now. "I read about them and the ability Allura just used and described is near identical to the one the Metamorphmagus's possess." Hermione said to which Allura grew curious.

"How so?" Allura asked to which Hermione nodded.

"Well they can change their size, skin, tone, and hair at will or based on their moods." Hermione explained to which Allura was intrigued. "Is it possible you can change physical parts of your body to a completely different species?" Hermione asked to which Allura looked a bit more intrigued now.

"It appears that is where the two differ I'm afraid I'm only restricted to physical attributes such as mass and pigment and with mass I have a limit to how large I can grow." Allura said to which Hermione nodded. After all they couldn't have Allura go giant Kaiju without tearing herself apart. "Anyway I will require a change of costume." Allura said before she looked over to the downed soldier. "I can use his uniform as a disguise." Allura said to which Harry had to object.

"You can't go in there alone." Harry blurted out getting all eyes on him as he shied from it a bit.

"Excuse me? I do not need your permission for this." Allura said before looking to Cedric. "That goes double for you Cedric." She said to which Cedric had similar thoughts.

"He's right though you'll need some sort of backup to get in there." Cedric said to which Allura looked to the two.

"You will stick out like a Choferiak's nose." Allura said but it was then Hermione who spoke.

"You may need that nose, Princess." Hermione said before she showed the Power Glove. "Right now this glove is the only thing we have that is of Galra Tech. It's currently the only thing we have capable of interfacing with it and I doubt we have the time for me to brew a Polyjuice potion even with the ingredients for it." Hermione countered to which Harry had an idea.

"I can go in with her cloak of invisibility and follow her around with Cedric's glove." Harry said to which this got everyone's attention.

"Harry are you volunteering for this." Cedric asked before Hermione spoke up.

"He may be right and with the glove I can monitor the download from over here." Hermione explained showing the advantages of this plan.

Allura did not want to put Harry in danger but alas she knew she was outnumbered on this decision. "Fine, you can come." Allura agreed after much debate on this.

"Oi mates you better hurry if you want to get on and off before the ship leaves for Castle Doom." Ron said to which Harry nodded as did Allura.

"Here you'll need this." Cedric said passing the power glove over to Harry who nodded and took it.

(Later)

Allura was carrying a bin of sorts to the Galra Ship. Right now Harry had opted to ride in it as to keep hidden without the cloak knowing in there he runs less of a risk of bumping into someone. Of course Harry was a bit cramped in it but he sucked it up and let Allura play her part in all of this. Allura meanwhile remained calm during this while she carried Harry the bin she was pushing making it seem it was full of supplies.

But as Allura came upon the loading ramp she was stopped by a Galra Soldier who noticed her. "Halt." He said to which Allura did as told causing both her and Harry to get a bit nervous but Allura luckily kept it hidden. Allura then saw two sentries unloading two large containers that Allura had a sense of familiarity with but could not place her finger on it.

Meanwhile Harry then hissed in pain as he felt his scar sting not overly so just enough that he was able to keep hidden. As the containers passed them by the stinging pain vanished to which the scar went dormant again.

"Move along." The soldier to which Allura did so. While she walked by them she then sighed in relief after passing them glad they made it in. Now for the tough part of this job.

(With Cedric, Draco, Ron, and Hermione)

"They're in." Draco said glad to see they made it through ok.

Cedric's gaze then went over to the containers being pushed in to which he saw looked oddly suspicious. "What do you suppose they have in all of those large containers?" Cedric asked seeing the containers in question being pushed in.

"Not a clue." Ron confessed while looking to it.

"Well its glowing... so maybe it's some sort of fuel?" Draco asked to which Cedric saw something amiss.

"Maybe." Cedric said trying to think on what the Galra could be bringing in importing and exporting here.

"Perhaps our prisoner here will tell us." Hermione said from her computer to which she asked. "What is being imported and exported from this station?" Hermione asked the sentry who she had plugged wires into its brain looking processor core.

"Interrogation detected initiating lockdown." The Sentry said before locking out Hermione to keep valuable information hidden.

"Not talking? Very well I have the Veritserum of machines right here." Hermione said with a smirk as with humans she would never dare torture them for information... but hacking into a sentry's mind was another story altogether. She then began typing to which Ron could barely keep track of her fingers as they moved in near blinding speed.

"Oi I think we have space Death Eaters." Draco said to which Ron went wide eyed as he and Cedric looked to what Draco had pointed out.

"Bloody Hell he does look like a Death Eater in a way." Ron said noting the resemblance. He had the cloak and the mask for it if not a little different. All he needs now is a wand and a death mark and it's Death Eater of Outer Space.

"Well whatever it is that they have here for this base to be kept secret I have a good hunch it involves this bloke." Cedric said noting the cloaked figure down below. "I'll go investigate Hermione you're in charge until I get back." Cedric said to which Draco looked shocked.

"Understood." Hermione said while she kept working.

"What?!" Draco asked in shock to which Ron heard.

"You heard him." Ron said to which Draco began to pout in response just as Cedric exited the door.

(Back with Harry and Allura)

The two were now under the cloak of invisibility making sure to avoid the Sentries or bump into any. Luckily since it's just the two of them now they can exercise caution better. Furthermore Harry was tapping his hand into itself keeping count of the Sentries remembering how Hermione talked about machines and how ones such as computers or assembly lines would follow a base programing and very rarely deter from it unless required to.

Thus when he noted most of the ship crew were Sentries he began this trick to keep track of their patrol patterns. They then hid behind a wall to which Harry tapped his finger on it three times before the two began to move. "It's smart to keep track of such things Harry." Allura confessed as they both remained hidden under the cloak of Invisibility.

"Yeah the cloak can only get us so far." Harry said while they moved around the ship. "Now if only I knew my way around here." Harry said to which Allura could not fault him for that.

"We just need to find a computer hub of sorts to access the data we need and then get out." Allura said to which Harry agrees with this.

"Yeah." Harry said before they began to move some more while keeping away from the Sentries path.

(Back with Cedric)

Cedric was on the tail of the Galra sentries who followed the cloaked figure to another part of the base. Cedric knew something was up here hence why he kept his wand at the ready in case of anything. It wasn't long until they got to another set of doors and went through. This of course would mean Cedric had a small amount of time to get through but he had a short cut. He waited for the doors to close completely making sure to keep memory of what was on the other side of it.

Once they were close he pulled out his wand and acted by apparating leaving behind a popping sound in his wake.

(Back with Hermione, Ron, and Draco)

Ron was currently playing with some of the wires as he plugged two together and got no reaction from it. He then switched one out and plugged them in again this time causing the sentry to hit itself in the head. Ron laughed and began to plug and unplug the cables causing the Sentry to hit itself. "Stop hitting yourself! Why are you hitting yourself?" Ron teased while messing around by torturing the sentry.

"Ron stop being childish and stop torturing it." Hermione said as she needed to work and would rather have the sentry in one piece after all.

Ron of course managed to get one more hit on it before looking to Hermione. "Sorry Hermione. I'm just trying to keep my thoughts occupied so I don't have to worry about Cedric getting caught, or Harry and Allura getting blasted by those metal golem things, or someone finding, us here right now and-." Ron began while he kept making the sentry hit itself until Hermione snatched the cables out of his hands.

"Stop it, Ron. I think we can teach it to help us." Hermione said while plugging the cables into her computer before typing away. "Would you like to help us, Mr. Robot?" Hermione asked looking to the Sentry in question. The Sentry began to look to them to which Ron thought they may finally get some information from it. But then its head began to spin around wildly to which Hermione went wide eyed in response. "Whoops." Hermione said never once making a mistake like this before. Yes it was minor but she had a perfect grading record and here she was screwing up.

"Huh not so perfect now eh Granger." Draco teased to which Hermione glared.

"I can make mistakes every once in a while." Hermione countered to which Draco sighed.

"Regardless it's kind of boring right now so a bit of an off subject thought... am I the only one whose notice Potter and the Princess seem to be attracted to each other?" Draco asked to which Ron spoke up.

"Of course." Ron spoke before Hermione followed.

"Hard not to feels more like they are the only ones save for Coran who didn't notice." Hermione said while she kept working.

"Well wonder how this will affect the betting pool at Hogwarts." Draco said to which Ron saw this.

"Betting pool?" Ron asked as this was the first he heard of it.

"Yes everyone has been making wagers who would end up with who among the Golden Trio, which is you lot mind you, and some of the wagers are odd. Some wagered Potter and Granger would end up together and the same for you two ending up together. There's even a wager that you and Potter are Gay Weasley and would end up together." Draco said to which the two blushed only for Ron to gag at the gay comment.

"Bloody hell who made a wager like that?!" Ron gagged as he wasn't against gay people but he did not want to be roped in with them.

"Oh just some of the girls in our year and the younger years. I think Greengrass was one of them." Draco said to which Hermione coughed a bit.

"Well be that as it may I assure you none of us are seeking a relationship nor will we seek one to sedate your betting pool." Hermione said not daring to ask if there was a betting pool that asked how long the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher would last each year or how long till Harry got them killed each year.

"Well a lot of them would disagree hell I'm even making wagers and after Potter saved you in first year against the Troll, then how he saved the school after you were petrified, and let's not forget the number of times you've helped him from what Ron told me. I'd even wager you two would be together by the end of our sixth- BAAUGH!" Draco yelped as Hermione had pressed a key at just the right moment as Draco fell down dazed.

"Whoops." Hermione said while standing with a blush as Ron was regaining his gag reflexes while Draco was sliding down a bit.

(Back with Cedric)

After Cedric had dealt with the guard Sentries he began to sneak through the shadows and came across a large room. In the room Cedric was in shock at what he saw as inside. It was a large room filled with these odd containers and the cloaked figured standing atop a platform. Soon one of the containers was rolled in on a conveyor belt and put into position where the cloaked Galra saw this.

He then raised his hands up and focused his power as it released an energy. The container began releasing an energy into a large sphere where it began to swirl around till an energy sphere formed inside it. Once this was done the figure raised his hands up and in turn released his power upon it where the sound of haunting screams was mixed in as the light and energy began to turn into a Galra violet color.

What happened next surprised Cedric even further as from the bottom of the machine a violet liquid began to fill a small jar as the liquid seemed to be glowing in response as it entered the jar. Cedric had no clue what this was or what was happening but whatever it is to have this station be a secret it must be something huge.

(Back with Harry and Allura)

Allura and Harry waited for two Sentries to walk by as harry gave Allura the signal to move as they ran down the wall to another hall and soon came to the computer of the ship as they saw two Sentries working at it as harry whisper to Allura, "hold my cloak."

AS Harry took it off and hand it to Allura, as she watch Harry pull out his wand and Bayard as he didn't want to damage his cloak, as harry rush up to the two sentries as he slash at one killing it, and quickly blast the other with a spell before it realize what just happen and sound the alarm, as its spark and smoke a bit by the spell hitting it drop down like a stone as Harry and Allura quickly pick up the robot bodies and put them in the corner with harry saying to Allura, "WE may have a few minutes at best, before the next patrol come by, watch the door."

"Got it!" Allura said as she stood by the door looking out left to right to keep watch out for any patrols, With harry pull out the gauntlet and put it on and test it as it glow a bit before died down to show harry activated it as he plate it on the control keyboard as it give a slight glow while the Galra computer screen blink a few times before a window box pop on the screen with a doodle of Hermione face is shown as Harry said, "alright Hermione, start downloading."

"Generating access code," Hermione said as she started gain access while her doodle face move around the window box before it change with line graph as it went down the line of all info it has and about to be download all the info from the Galra warship computer with a progress bar showing how much is already been downloaded until an error showed up with Harry saying, "Hermione, we might have a problem."

(With the group)

"Hold on, I'm trying to work around this," Hermione said as Draco and Ron was looking down at the screen while they keep their eyes out for anything, with the computer announce, "Scanning for information."

"Hermione?" Harry said sounding a bit worry as Hermione said, "I'm on it, don't rush me!"

(With Allura and harry)

Allura watch harry try to stay on the computer with the information still having trouble being downloaded as Allura wasn't paying attention when a Galra trooper came walking up to the door way as he said, "What's going on here? Who are you?"

Allura panic a bit and block the Galra soldier site to make sure he didn't see harry as he look over to the doorway worry a bit and thinking they may have gotten caught, but Allura put on her best Galra impression and said, "It's about time you got here. Where is the rest of your squad?"

"What squad?" The Galra soldier asked as he try to look into the room but Allura keep blocking his view from it, with Harry keep calm and keep the Gauntlet on the computer and reach for his wand, getting ready for anything that might happen as Harry whisper, "Hurry up Hermione."

(Hermione)

"Almost there, just a few more seconds," She said while she type as fast as she could.

(With Allura)

"The Squad that is to escort me and my associate to our ship," Allura said which gotten the Galra wondering and move to look pass Allura as he can while she gotten in his way again as the Galra soldier asked, "Who's back there? What's going on?"

Allura put a hand on the Galra soldier chest to stop him from going and further of looking in the room while pushing him back as she said, "We are part of Zarkon's high command, our work must not be disturbed."

"Where's chief information Officer Plytox?" the Galra soldier asked while Allura try to think of something quickly as she said, "Uh, he's... in there. Say hello, Plarox."

Harry saw what Allura was going for as the soldier can't see him as Harry deepen his voice and do his best Galra impression as he said, "Its Platox!"

"Oh, sorry. See?" Allura said as the Galra soldier was convincing to him, and the real deal to his thought as he said, "Oh. Vrepit Sa, Sir!"

As the Galra gave its salute in the Galra way before, he lean into Allura and tells her, "I get his name wrong all the time, too."

The Galra solder soon left while Allura let out a breath along with harry as they were both worry there for a moment, as Harry keep waiting for the info to be downloaded, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, from the prick feeling from his scar, and something he felt behind him like a trail of sort that trying to grab his attention, but keep focus on the screen.

(Cedric)

Cedric observed the cloaked figure as he worked while he kept a firm grip on his wand. He knew whatever this guy was doing was not good or at the very least important enough that this base was kept secret. In turn Cedric activated his helmets camera as lines appeared on the glass part of it. "Castle of Lions, Coran, Sirius; Remus, you all need to see this." Cedric urged knowing this wasn't normal even by space standards.

(Castle of Lions)

Coran gasped in shock as Sirius and Remus were just lost on what was going on. "I've never seen anything like it." Coran said as the methods was something he had never seen before but the jars he noted how it looked familiar to him.

(Back with Hermione, Ron, and Draco)

"What is that?" Hermione said as she and the others saw it on their side as well.

The Robot they began to beep behind them before speaking at long last. "The material is Quintessence, the substance with the highest known energy per unit volume in the universe." The Robot explained to which Draco smiled to Hermione.

"Well, bout time, Granger! You finally managed to make him work for us." Draco said but that was not the subject of discussion at the moment.

(Castle of Lions)

"What? Impossible." Coran said as being one of the last few Altean's left in the universe there should be know way to acquire any more Quintessence unless you head to Earth for its magical people.

(Ron, Hermione, and Draco)

"Raw Quintessence is transported here from throughout the galaxy and refined into standardize Galra Fuel requirements." The Sentry explained revealing to them what this place truly was.

(Castle of Lions)

"Did you all hear that?" Hermione asked making sure they all heard what they just learned.

"I can't believe it! They've found a new way to acquire Quintessence!" Coran said to which Remus and Sirius were both lost on what Coran was talking about on this Quintessence subject.

"Ok what the Blooming Hell is Quintessence?" Sirius asked to which Remus wanted answers as well.

"I'd like to know as well." Remus added to which Coran went about being brief with it.

"Well it's hard to describe but it's basically the equivalent to the life force of an Altean and everything around us. Normally anyone but an Altean would be unable to access it and manipulate it hence why the Altean people were so great. For us we had learned to harness it after centuries of trial and error first requiring a focus much like your wands before we advanced from it." Coran explained to which Hermione heard this.

"So are you implying that there may be a large chance that our magic is Quintessence manipulation?" Remus asked as this was the discovery of a century.

"If it is then it's an extremely primitive variant of it or at the very least an off shoot but it could require some connection to it or at the very least distant Altean lineage." Coran explained to which Sirius began to wonder if by chance an Altean ship may have crashed into earth at one point and the Altean's inside who survived built a life and bred with human eventually resulting in their modern day magic.

(Cedric)

"Ok then, I'm going to steal some of this Quintessence perhaps we can analyze it and see where it originally came from." Cedric said taking a note from Hermione's book.

"Smart." Hermione agreed knowing this could be used to their advantage.

(Back with Allura and Harry)

As Allura kept watch over things the soldier from before began to return which meant Allura had to keep him busy a little longer. "Um..." He began getting Allura's attention. "Do you think I can get assigned to Zarkon's unit? Nothing happens on this ship." the Soldier said no doubt wanting more out of his life then this boring job on this ship.

"Oh, well, I don't know." Allura began trying to play it cool. "What's your bloodthirstiness on a scale of one to five?" Allura asked trying to play her part as a Galra soldier on Zarkon's unit as best she could. "One being 'No thanks, I'm full,' and five being 'Unquenchable.'" Allura explained trying to stall while Harry did his thing.

The Soldier thought about it for a bit before giving his answer. "If I'm being honest, about a three." He confessed to which Allura smiled trying to play her roll.

"We can work on that." Allura said hoping Harry was finished already.

(With Harry)

Harry partially listened to the Galra Soldier and honestly he didn't know whether to be concern there may be a few reasonable or normal Soldiers among them just doing their job. After all soldiers follow orders from the higher chain of command... but on the opposing side of the spectrum in reference to the Holocaust and Nazi's the Nazi soldiers who enacted the horrors of the Holocaust, concentration camps, and the death camps well also just soldiers following orders.

It made Harry wonder if by chance there may be a few good Galra amongst Zarkon's forces that they could try and turn to their cause. Harry then began to wonder how Zarkon managed to live for over 10,000 years and amass such a following in his Empire. He figured there must have been some Soldiers out there who disagreed with Zarkon's methods... then again with all that power he might have just blasted them into cosmic dust.

Just then Harry hissed as his scar began to act up again as the trail was trying harder to grasp his attention. It wasn't long until he noticed some containers of the material Cedric had talked about before with the others. This Quintessence substance as Coran had referred to it as. Harry couldn't deny that he was a tad bit curious as to what it was all the while he felt himself being drawn to it. Harry began to get up quietly staying hidden before he felt the draw grow stronger. Harry figured since Cedric was stealing jar of it he might as well grab one himself at least to compare and contrast. From the looks of it, the jar seemed to be here in case the one in the wall needed to be replaced as he noted how the energy flowed through it up a pipe. He opted to go for the one to the side but first he placed his cloak back on.

Silently Harry walked torts it leaving the power glove plugged in while Hermione finished the download. Allura and the Soldier were talking up a conversation on the soldier joining Zarkon's unit. Apparently being in Zarkon's unit handpicked to join was a huge thing to the Galra no doubt because that would mean you answer directly to Zarkon himself. Regardless Harry went to investigate the jar to the side unaware of the crack on the side of it that had gone unnoticed till now and thus a small amount of Quintessence was leaking from it.

The pull was born from the scar which went to his mind and thus here he was. But before his hand could grab it Harry stopped himself for a second feeling a pair of tingles in his mind. One was clearly Godric but the warning was muffled for some reason that Harry knew not the reason. The other was also warning him of something but it too was muffled for it was unfamiliar to him save for back in his first year when he turned the possessed professor to ash with Voldemort stuck to the back of said professors head.

Harry then turned his head and focused on grabbing the jar to take with him. Unfortunately he failed to notice the leak and thus when his gloved hand touched it things began to take a turn for the worst. First Harry went wide eyed as he felt a current of energy go up his right arm and straight to his head. It went around it until it the part of his head connected to his scar and from it he saw thunder and the image of Voldemort.

But this time was different he saw multiple Voldemort's one in the form of an imp inside some shack, the second a fully revived one pale skin and snake nose as everyone had known him for, next was what appeared to be a barbequed baby of sorts that was the image of Voldemort, and finally an image unknown to him of a large figure with armor fit for a tyrant wielding a dark parody of the Bayard's and behind him a shadow image of a mechanical dragon much like the Lions.

The energy current then grew large enough that Harry ended up blasted backwards from it and in turn hitting the console bad. What was worse the ships scanners had picked up on it. "Alert! Alert! Intruder detected! Unknown Energy Burst Detected!" The Ships computer invoked causing Harry to curse himself for what he did. Allura then found the Soldiers rifle pointed at her forcing her to raise her hands in response.

"Uh..." The Soldier began trying to remember what he was supposed to do in this situation. "Help! Intruders!" He called out only for Allura to press the button slamming the door closed in response to which the Soldier began firing but only made dents in the door.

The two were trapped in the room as Harry and Allura regrouped in response to this. "What did you do?" Allura asked in a scolding tone.

"I don't know I was going to grab that jar and then it blasted me." Harry said as he had no idea what came over him but the cried out in pain again as he held his scar from the pain.

"Harry what's wrong?" Allura asked before she felt that ominous aura from the scar stir. But by this feeling she felt that Godric and a second party was trying to keep it contained. "We need to get you out of here." Allura said worried the scar may have held something dark and the Quintessence Harry exposed himself to may have waken it up.

(Outside the Room)

The Soldier breathed hard ready for the worse with his rifle aimed at the door waiting for it to open. But then to his shock the door was bashed down and used as a battering ram to which he was hit and in turn knocked out cold. Allura took the rifle from the soldier as Harry regained his footing with the pain numbing down but still there. Harry of course looked to what Allura did in shock as she held the rifle and saw how Harry was staring at her.

"What?" She asked while looking to Harry.

The two then heard footsteps approaching and saw a whole battalion of Sentries coming for them. "We need to go now!" Harry called out while they began to run for it. "Reducto!" Harry invoked with his wand while they ran hitting many sentries at once. But doing so was a bad call as his scar began to hurt worse now as the Wizard turned Paladin cried out in pain.

Allura felt it every time Harry casts his magic the scar would hurt worse and whatever is inside it drew power from every time Harry casted magic. "Harry don't use your magic you'll make it worse for yourself." Allura said as she needed to get Harry to safety and remove whatever it is that's hiding inside his scar.

"O-ok." Harry agreed for now but he wasn't going to let Allura get hurt or worse captured.

(Back with Cedric)

Cedric waited by a second conveyor belt for the jar to move torts him. It was a simple plan and right now the best he got without being caught as he had lent his glove to Harry earlier. The process of refining the Quintessence was almost done as the large orb was emptying out while the jar below was being filled up. Soon the jar was completely filled and once it was sealed the liquid glowed inside it. Once ready it began to roll its way down the belt and thus after timing it just right Cedric took his wand out and casted the spell.

"Accio Quintessence Jar." Cedric invoked and thus the jar flew to his waiting hand hopefully outside the figured notice. Cedric hid behind the wall and looked at the figure who he saw was still doing his work here. Once Cedric was sure he had not noticed took a look at the jar which was apparently a Galra fuel source.

But unaware to Cedric the figure had noticed him and once he finished up a second jar looked over to Cedric with its mask turning in an odd way like an owl before he vanished from sight. Cedric noticed the silence and looked back to the room and to his surprise saw the figure was gone which was confusing in itself. Then as if to kick him down the druid appeared behind him and blasted him away causing him to drop the jar in question.

Cedric slid on the ground for a bit as the figure grabbed the jar that was dropped. "Ok should have figured it wouldn't be that easy." Cedric said drawing his wand once more. "Reducto!" Cedric invoked sending the spell out torts the figure who placed the jar back on the belt to be taken where it needed to be. Seeing this coming the figure avoided the attack and reappeared at a different spot. "Bombarda!" Cedric invoked again firing off another spell to which the figure dodged once again.

But before he could fire a third spell Cedric saw the figure had not reappeared yet. He then heard something akin to lightning and looked up in shock seeing the figure there. "Stupify!" HE quickly invoked the stunner spell but the Druid deflected it with ease before firing at him. Cedric dodged the attack as best he could and knew he had to hurry fast. Cedric ran around to avoid being blasted at and went for the jar again.

"Accio Galra Fuel jar!" He invoked allowing the jar to once more fly back to his waiting hand. Once he caught it he rolled out of the way of another attack and got ready. He then looked and was wide eyed when he saw the druid preparing another attack. "Hermione I'm about to emergency Apparate! We need to get out of here!" Cedric called out knowing he had to hurry.

The Druid fired off its attack and thus Cedric apparated but the energy hit and adding the method of use it would be a miracle of Cedric didn't come out dead. The Druid walked over to where Cedric had apparated from and investigated the brief flash in the event horizon. He then looked down and saw what appeared to be blood and maybe skin with a tad bit of inner flesh mixed in. The Druid levitated it up and contained it in a sterilized container.

"Haggar will be pleased with this for Project Kuron." The Druid finally said revealing himself as a male and being aware of one of Haggar's little pet projects.

(The others)

With a popping sound Cedric appeared with the others as he was roaring in pain while clutching his arm. Hermione was wide eyed as was Ron and Draco as it looked like Cedric was going into shock. "Bloody hell he splinched." Draco gasped to which Hermione cursed herself.

"Shit." Hermione cursed before grabbing her bag and pulling out the tonic. "Ron Draco one of you apply this too is wound and bandage it up." Hermione ordered before Harry was heard on their links.

(Harry)

"Hermione get Rowena ready to leave now!" Harry all but ordered while they ran down the hall of the ship. Harry was clutching his scar every now and again through his helmet as the pain got worse no doubt the presence inside it wanted more Quintessence almost begging for it.

But soon he and Allura were blocked at the hall to which Allura pointed the rifle and fired it off. But it appeared she was holding it the wrong way and in turn fired it off at their chasers. "Bugger this." Harry said before activating his Bayard and slashing the Sentries before him making sure not to cast any more spells. "Allura I thought you said you traveled around the Galaxy. I mean, you fly a bloody spaceship how can you not know how to hold this correctly?!" Harry scolded to which he fixed Allura's grip so she was pointing the gun the right way.

Allura then took Harry's hand and they began to run again while Harry made sure not to stumble. "I'm tense! This is a Tense situation with us being chased inside a Galra Warship, you being afflicted by some unknown affliction, and me worrying to death over you." Allura listed off which Harry heard completely.

"Wait what was that last one?" Harry asked which Allura heard this and growled a bit.

"Ignore that escape takes priority." Allura said before the automated voice was heard.

"Secure Hatches. All personnel take positions for departure." The voice said to which they had to hurry.

(Back with the others)

Once Hermione got the data downloaded she slammed her computer shut and got up. "Let's go we need to move now!" Hermione called out knowing they had to escape.

"We got Cedric!" Ron called out as he and Draco finished applying the tonic and both held one of his arms in response to carry him out.

"Come on we need to get the Princess and Potter!" Draco called out as they had a man down and two they needed to rescue.

(Back with Harry and Allura)

The two were running down the hall with Harry using his memory from his last visit here to locate the escape pods. That and a map Hermione had made from her last visit to Sendak's ship hopefully with the Galra cruisers having the same basic build up between each other.

"The Escape Pods should be up here." Harry said as he ran as the pain from his scar was getting worse.

They kept running while Allura fired at the Sentries before the voice on the intercom was heard. "Formulating navigation. All crew assume Hyper-speed positions." It ordered to which Allura removed the helmet no longer needing it.

"Hurry! We won't be able to escape once the ship enters hyper-speed." Allura urged before Harry cried out in pain more as he stumbled forcing Allura to catch him. Allura ended up having to carry Harry while she used her other arm to fire the stolen gun at the Galra Sentries. "Harry don't use your magic." Allura urged as she knew that using his magic would make his condition worse. But the Boy-Who-Lived-to-Become-a-Paladin had a death grip on his wand ready to use it again if need be.

(Outside)

As the Galra Cruiser began to rise up Rowena jumped to a pillar and saw it take off while she and her passengers awaited an escape pod to launch. The lights on the cruiser began to come to life showing it was getting ready to depart which meant this was going to be a photo finish for all of them.

(Back with Harry and Allura)

The two arrived at the escape pods as Allura fired behind her to keep the Sentries at bay. Once they were through the door Harry slammed the button with his fist closing the door while they came through. The Sentries fired and chased but it appeared the door was going to close on their faces. But then a sentry managed to get through and began trying to force the door open.

Allura then put Harry down and charged in and with her superior strength grabbed the doors even denting them with her grip before she began to force it to close while the Sentries tried to force it open. Harry saw Allura struggle and knew this would only delay them for so long.

They saw the lights began to turn on as Allura saw this as well. "It's taking off! Get in the pod!" Allura urged Harry who got back up with shaking feet.

"I'm not leaving you here!" Harry argued with her refusing to leave Allura behind. The two saw the door was closing and with it their small amount of time to escape.

"You have to." Allura said as Harry began to hobble over to the door.

"Not without you!" Harry said but before Allura could grab him to throw Harry into the door Harry had a counter for it and the Sentries. "Allura move!" Harry ordered with wand drawn.

"Harry don't!" She tried to stop him but it was too late.

"BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" Harry invoked at the top of his lungs and in turn released his most powerful exploding charm yet. It was enough to blow the door off its hinges and with it the Sentries. But alas it was for not as Harry saw the Sentries had numbers and began to pool in. Allura coughing up a fit and saw that Harry was in extreme pain now as the scar was becoming more active.

As the sentries began to flood in Harry had one more spell to use praying it will last long enough to do what he needs it to do. "Expecto Patronum." Harry invoked and in turn he released the Patronus in the form of a stag. He then whispered his message to it to which it went to the pod just before it closed and waited to be picked up.

Allura was shocked by this and was soon knocked down while she struggled to get free. Harry crawled over to her ignoring the pain as bet he could and reached out to her. The two looked at each other's eyes as green met pink as their hands grabbed each other despite the struggle they put. "I'll never leave you." Harry promised as Allura... she was like him orphaned because of a power hungry madman.

Allura... she did not know how to respond to this as their grips tightened between the linked hands. He was willing to sacrifice everything for her the same way she would have sacrificed herself for him. It was like a universe without Allura in it wasn't one worth saving for Harry. This kindred feeling between two souls it was as if at this moment they knew each other as well as they knew themselves as with the hands that linked to each other a glow formed between their hands.

They may not have realized this but in certain aspects Earth's variant of Quintessence manipulation or magic as they called it developed into another form. A form so intimate so powerful that some would call it a magic born out of love. Soul Bonds were a rarity in their world these days because forming one was one that should be taken with due caution. To knowingly form one is like marriage in some aspects but once its form breaking it would be near impossible. But when one was formed unintentionally out of a pure action that both souls would knowingly due for the other well a Soul Bond at its most pure most powerful would be born.

They could be at completely opposite sides of the Universe but like red string of fate they would always remain a part of each other's lives. So as Harry and Allura were both captured with the pod launching that soul bond had been formed and the power it would grant to both them and Voltron would be incredible and miraculous.

(With the others Rowena)

The group located the pod and had retrieved it allowing who they hoped to be Harry and Allura to disembark. But instead from the door at the back of the cockpit they saw the Patronus stag walk in and deliver its message to them. "We've been captured by the Sentries and are still on the ship... don't come after us as Cedric said attacking Zarkon's main headquarters would be suicide." The Patronus said using Harry's voice that sounded like he was in severe pain.

"Oh no." Hermione gasped in shock knowing Harry and Allura were both in danger now.

"Wait so if they're both there... not only wont we have wormholes but we can't form Voltron." Draco said with Cedric standing as his arm was in a sling.

"I know." Cedric said to which Ron saw the look on Cedric's face. "We need to go in there and find them." Cedric said as he felt guilty about this. Harry just like the others were his responsibility and to let even ONE of them down would be like letting them ALL down. It was made worse taking Allura into consideration with how she was with him on that ship.

"Wait Cedric not that I disagree with you but weren't you the one who said attacking Zarkon at his home base would be nutters and blood suicide?" Ron asked to which Cedric nodded.

"Yes I did." He said but Ron wasn't done.

"And that attacking him there when we have neither the manpower or the guns to do it would be the worst mistake of our lives." Ron said even if they were not Cedric's exact words the point still stands.

"I know." Cedric said but he had a serious look on his face for this. "But without them we would be worse off than when we began. We need to get them back." Cedric repeated to which they all agreed on this.

"I haven't gotten along with Potter since I first met him... but leaving him there will not suffice." Draco said as they were all in agreement.

"Yeah he's my best mate I won't let him be Zarkon's prisoner and Allura isn't going to die by Zarkon's hands either." Ron said to which Hermione nodded.

"Then lets head back to the Castle of Lions we need a plan." Hermione said knowing they would only get one shot at rescuing their missing teammates.

They are all in agreement they had a lost Lion and a Princess to save. Hermione though noted the last bit was similar to something out of a story book or a Zelda Video Game. But that was beside the point since they needed to save their friends from the belly of the beast. But the question was how on that regard.

(TBC)
