Taking Charge of his world
Part 18
Carson Beckett was not happy at all. He had family in Scotland and his daughter might well be a full wand witch. He cursed as his mind raced on ways to forestall the death eaters. While his family lived in a Muggle Area accidental magic could would show up. While his home was warded his daughter had to go to school and the market or to the park for sport. It was not ideal. He wanted to call his family and have them move out of the country at once. He pushed the panic back but knew helping these people might well save his daughter from a horrible death.
Rodney McKay was angry. He was livid. The city was fully activating and they did not have the power for that.
"Elizabeth we are going to run out of power. The Zed P M cannot sustain all the functions that are coming on line."
"I don't know what we can do Rodney? We are clearly being given new orders."
"Well we don't even have the power to head back to Sol." He said for once glad power was limited. "The Zed P M is not strong enough."
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Willow, Dawn give the man the batteries before he has a heart attack. I don't want to make extra work for Doctor Beckett."
Rodney spun around his mouth hanging open as Willow and Dawn moved forward carrying two cases. They were set on the ground and opened. Inside each were six fully charged ZPM's. "What, How, where did you get them, I thought the SGC only had enough for the ships and the ancient weapon?"
"Yes, well the SGC should have asked the experts about these things. I mean really the energy is 'green and has our mark on it'." Dawn said giggling. "You should have known Jonathan."
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up Doctor, it just never clicked ok? Energy is so Carter's preview."
Dawn giggled at that. "Really when it has the Norse and Toltec writing all over it, I guess Daniel missed it. I mean a sun and earth how did you miss that?"
"We only had the ancient writings Lady Dawn." Daniel said protesting and defending his work.
"Dawn they opened the gate too. I mean it clearly said don't do it. But the military and their brain trust did anyway. So here we are again." Buffy said. "Fixing their mess, oh well if we can help save people it will be worth it."
"Yes it will, but Buffy no dating a Wraith." Faith teased."Using her name to make her point, rarely did she call her sister slayer by name unless she wanted to make a point and with her history her picking out a wraith to date was definitely a possibility.
Buffy gave her a hard look. "Why I thought that Michael was kind of cute." She said with a cruel grin. She was not that bad but teasing her family and new allies well it was too good to pass up.
"What are you insane Wraith have to eat people, they suck the life out of them!" Rodney said. "He would eat you to live, drain your very life force."
"Yeah and so not it's not like it would be the first time something took a bite out of B. So you think it would work? The draining the life out of you or us I mean are you sure we are immune? I mean you would not want to end up all dried out or dead. "
Buffy glared. "No, not a chance on any of us, they cannot feed on us. You know that."
"Cool so we can kick them around without getting drained." Faith said smiling."It might be fun."
"They can still hurt us. Just not feed, so be careful." Buffy said. "Though it should be a decent work out that is if the reports are correct. That would be a nice change."
"Yeah but at least it should be fun." Her sister slayer said and the Atlantis expedition looked at them like they were insane. "I mean vamps are boring after a while."
The Atlanitia/Atlantis military looked at them like they were insane.
Jack just chuckled.
Everyone gathered at the Granger household. Hermione was concerned as she was worried for her extended family. However leaving them here was not to her mind an option. At least if they were with her she could defend them. Harry took her hand in his and kissed her lips. He had seen she was chewing it worried.
"I'll keep them safe."
"We will keep them safe Harry." She said.
He nodded. "Everyone gather around. Dobby, Winky could you join us please we could use your assistance."
His two friends popped in. "Harry Potter calls Dobby and Winky, how may we help the Great Harry Potter and his Lady?"
Emile grinned at that. He had been deeply amused when he heard how devoted Dobby was to Harry and Winky to Hermione. Seeing it in action was interesting. However he knew it made transport quick and safe. Of course hearing the elf call Hermione Harry's Lady merely confirmed what he and Dana already knew. Their daughter had been claimed and Harry was now her husband and family. At least they had two loyal elves to help them.
"Dobby can you and Winky help us go to Rowan? We will need your help to move everyone."
"Dobby can do. We should call Kreature and Jarvis as well. That way we can transport more of Harry Potter and his friends at once along with their belongings."
Harry looked at Hermione who sighed. She still was not happy about house elves being bonded to them but she nodded. The desire to save her family and friends outweighing her concerns about abusing the elves, she promised herself she would do something nice for them soon.
"That is a good idea. Kreature, Jarvis please come here." Harry called.
Both elves popped in.
"Master Harry calls us." Jarvis said as he bowed.
Hermione was shocked to see him. He was taller and broader then most of the elves she knew of.
Harry leaned down. "Hello Jarvis I'm glad you can help us.
"Jarvis has waited many years for Master Harry to call him. He is happy to help. The Potter family has always treated me and my family well. So how may I help you sir."
"We need to take my family and friends to Rowan. However I don't know where it is nor does Dobby, Winky or Kreature can you help us?"
Jarvis smiled and snapped his fingers a map appeared. However before he gave it to Harry he touched the other elves. Who nodded gratified by his assistance and trust. He had transferred the knowledge of where Rowan was to them.
"Master James and Lady Lily send their regards. They have ordered me to bring this port key for you. Or we can take you there. Kreature could you begin moving the families things I know you are best at that kind of work."
The elder elf stood tall and nodded. "I can do that. I shall have to pack the house first."
"Please do that Kreature. While the wards we placed are strong there are many heirlooms here we would not wish to lose on case the Dark Lords minions find the manor." Emile said as he looked at the elder elf. "We would be grateful for your help."
Kreature nodded. He did not insult Hermione's father which shocked everyone who knew him. However Kreature now knew who and what Hermione's family was and he was not so foolish as to insult them anymore. Away from his former mistress's portrait he was able to be healed. His mind had been damaged from being under only the mad portrait's control for so many years. Being part of a family once more was healing him and restoring him to the sane and powerful elf he was. However now was not the time to discuss this issue. Saving the master's mate family and home was more important. He began snapping his fingers and things popped down in size and into one of several trunks that just appeared.
"Are you sure that is Kreature?" Ron asked. Not knowing what to make of the elf. He was acting so out of character. He could not believe how different the elf was.
"Yeah he's Kreature. Everyone gather around I think it would be best to let the Elves take us to Rowan." Harry said. "Ron your folks should be here soon."
Just as he said that there was a pop. The Weasley family popped in. Then Remus' and the Tonks appeared.
"Well we can use the port key." Remus said. "No point in exhausting the elves."
Kreature glared insulted and Ron sighed in relief. Maybe it really was the cranky elf after all.
"Ok if you want too." Harry said. He hated port key travel but perhaps it did not bother Remus or the others that much.
The patriarch of the Malfoy family smiled as he opened the book. It had taken a lot of gold to gain access to this book. However it was going to be the key to winning the war. He read the title with a wicked smile on his face.
"Registry of Muggle Born and Half Blood witches." This self updating book would help he and his fellow death eaters track down and kill all those that dared to steal magic from pure blood witches and wizards. He looked over at Nott who nodded and waved his wand copying the book. The enchantments would keep them from removing this book but they had broken the ones on copying it. The Dark Lord would pleased and they would have a revel using the families of the Muggle born and half blood as the entertainment.

Taking Charge of his world
Part 19
Everyone was now at Rowan and the six who had gone to the ministry of magic were finally able to relax. They had their families and friends with them and they were now ready to regroup.
It was clear to all of them that the Headmaster and others had been playing games and withholding important if not vital information from Harry and that his had lead to a near disaster.
Harry was done blindly following anyone but most especially Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore headmaster of Hogwarts, Order of Merlin first class holder and so called supreme Mugwup. What the hell did any of those so called titles do to make him a man who could or should lead a war even a war with a bunch of thugs like Voldermort and his merry band of crazed Death Eaters.
Hermione family had been willing to pack up and follow them as were Neville's grandmother, the Weasleys and of course the Tonks and Remus Lupin. Luna was alone but she had sent a message to her father who she knew would find them when he returned to the country after his expedition.
Harry lead the group into Rowan's main sitting area and they all took seats. They were shocked to see Sirius standing next to a large fireplace with the portraits of Harry's family above his head
"Hello everyone I am so glad you all managed to get here. There seems to be a lot to discuss and frankly I am not the one to fill you in. Now before anyone asks how I got here and why I am still alive let me say dumb luck and the fact that the Evans were not really Muggles."
"What do you mean Sirius? They did not have magic did they?"
It was Lily who answered that question. "No, not like most of you would know it to be. I know there will be a lot of questions and a lot that will seem a little crazy."
James and Sirius both chuckled at that. "Yeah a little maybe, look the thing is we Lily and I are portraits but the thing is we are not supposed to be. No it's not just because we supposedly died. It's a lot more complicated and frankly we kind of messed up. So we will need your help Emile and Dana to fix it. Also we got a chance to fix a few other things to perhaps. Merlin knows we need to build the ranks of the light side and frankly I am so not above cheating to do so."
The others looked at him stunned.
"I have sent owls to Minerva and the other teachers we think we can trust. Given what has happened I do believe she may well break for Dumbledore as will Flitwick and Sprout. Snape is an open question at this point. He from what we have been able to learn is somewhat bound to the will of Albus by vows he gave to stay out of Azkaban."
"No surprises there." Sirius said still hating the Slytherin with all his heart and soul.
"Sirius Severus has made some very bad mistakes. Mistakes that we helped lead him too." James Potter said. "We did not make his life easy and we made it simple for him to hate all we stood for. However he did try to save us."
"After he betrayed you to Voldermort that can't be overlooked and I won't forgive him for it." Sirius said.
"Yes he betrayed us but we really did not do anything to make him our friend." James said. "He regretted his choice and went to Dumbledore to try to protect us. The problem was that Dumbledore was not really into protecting individuals or families as we had no place in his "Greater Good." He used many of us as pawns. However given who Lily's family is we can turn that back. We can fix the mistakes he made. He was all about forgiving the death eaters and giving them second chances when they killed or maimed. He let them off and moved on. Never caring the people who died were supposedly innocent or even if they were order members."
"James is right. He did not care. Second chances are earned not given as a right. Well many of our friends will get second chances in a manner of speaking. I will see to it. However that is for later. Now we must regroup." Lily said. "Trust we have a plan. Harry Petunia and even Vernon were compelled to treat you badly. Just before you arrived a portrait from your friend's family came in. The spells were numerous as were the potions. The Changs are working to reverse the affects and they will keep my sister and her family out of harms way for now. While this in no way absolves them of all their crimes they did not do them willingly."
"So they were forced?"
"Yes, Harry they were." Lily said. "I can understand if you do not wish to forgive them but they were pawns as well in someone else's game."
"Dumbledore?" Harry asked.
Lily nodded. She looked sad and angry then again Petunia was her sister and she had cared for her.
Hermione took his hand and gave it a squeeze. He sighed and decided he would try to forgive them. However for now he had more important worries. "Have you been able to let the Changs know of this safe house?"
"Yes and they will be arriving in the morning. I would suggest you all find rooms and rest. Jarvis will make your meals and help with whatever else you need." James said.
"Sure, ok let's get settled in then." Harry said to his friends and family. Jarvis lead the group upstairs and pointed out rooms for each of them. Harry was surprised to learn that this house was even larger then Grimwald. It had three wings two of which were bedrooms the last was set up with offices, workout areas, a ballroom and the kitchen and staff quarters. He was pleased to learn that his families elves each had their own rooms or apartments. They all settled in and returned to the main sitting room quickly.
Harry walked over to his mother and father's pictures and sat down. He could spend hours looking at them. However it was not really necessary to do so. He waited as they had moved off to do something.
John Sheppard was not happy at all. He could not believe that they would be taking Atlantis to Earth. To his mind this Ancient City belonged to the people of Pegasus and he was not at all happy that they would be leaving so many defenseless.
Buffy watched the military commander and knew he was upset. However they had bigger fish to fry at this point. It was not as if the city and its people were really doing all that much good out here. Oh she got that they tried but they certainly were not winning any war. She wished she could offer more support to them but if they did not save Harry then the other two cities would be lost to them. Frankly that was not something she was willing to allow. She knew finding and activating the cities of Camelot and Atlantis would create a chance for the people of this galaxy to fight back. She knew that while they would be heading back to earth they had one other stop to make first. Lemuria was going to be activated and it would pick up Atlantia's slack. One of the things that Daniel had gotten wrong was the idea that the ancients were one united people. They had not been. While they tended to work together each city had been its own government. In many ways it was like the ancient Earth cities Sparta or Athens. Each powerful in their own way but joining together when faced with a common enemy. In this case the Wraith.
Each city state had its own leaders, its own kings and queens. In Atlaintia's case the heiress was Buffy, this city had been left behind when the people had gone to the aid of those in its sister city Lemuria they had manned the remaining war ship and attacked the wraith from the rear. Giving their sister city a chance to evacuate.
Lemuria had been badly damaged and it had in fact sent its people out through the gates. The damage to the city had been enough that a full evacuation had been ordered. That city had been facing an all out Wraith attack and had chosen to scatter among the stars rather than be culled. The idea was that they would regroup later. However that had failed to happen. They had lost the battle and the city had fallen from the skies. This city and those few who survived and remained on board became the base of Ronan's people. It was one of the reasons his planet had advanced so quickly. They had lost much but were still far in advance of many of the peoples of Pegasus.
Those who had remained on Atlaintia had chosen to lock the city down and go in search of their lost friends and family when they failed to do that they eventually chose to assend.
The Atlantian's who had gone to aid Lemuria find their lost ship in puddle jumpers had lost all navigation and they had been unable to return these people formed the civilization of the lost children. They had left behind a city that had been in almost perfect stasis when those from the SGC had arrived. The records from the Watcher's council showed that many from Atlantia and Lemuria had fled toward earth. Some of the ships had fled the galaxy entirely and had somehow ended up on Earth. There the peoples of the two cities had found refuge among the local tribes of various nations. It was a many times granddaughter of the leader of the Atlantians that became the first slayer.
Stolen from her people to be the one to defend all of humanity the Shadowmen saw that the girl like many of her kind was stronger and faster, more intelligent and powerful so it was to her they bonded the slayer's spirit ensuring that when she fell another of her line would take up the mantle of slayer. It was how Buffy had come to rule this city.
Many years later the slayer spirit had been lost and confused when Buffy survived the Master. It had jumped into Kendra as it had been programmed to do. However having two from the same line confused it so it sought a similar match as it could not return to its heir.
Faith Leahane was a descendant from the people of Lemuira. Her people had been picked up and rescued by those of Atlantia and with them came to earth. Her DNA was similar enough and yet different enough for the slayer to jump into and be content. It was one of the reasons Faith was so wild because for the first time since its creation it had a host who fully embraced the gifts with a joyful heart and soul. Because Faith's people had been eager to help save their own even as Buffy had become after her first death.
The First Slayer had wanted and even volunteered to be upgraded what she objected to was being forced to leave her family and people behind. The Shadow men had tried to wipe her mind and soul clean to have a perfect controllable weapon. It was then she chose to fight and resist. They wanted a sacrifice while she wanted to accept the gifts and give her life freely. It would cause the never ending conflict until Buffy came along and was able to break the chains of spells on the slayer line and once more become its queen.
The change and spell had never been intended for one girl. It had been intended to activate the ancient genes in all potential slayers. However the Shadowmen had feared having so many powerful women about and chosen instead to bind one to their control and to never let that one develop into her full powers. However that was over and the Ancient protectors were back with a vengeance.
They would protect earth and all of humanity but first they had to deal with a few of their number who had gone insane and power hungry. Buffy wondered what the witches and wizards of the world would do or feel when they learned they were descendents of aliens? It was going to be fun to blow their minds. It was going to be so much fun to show that the so called Muggles had more right to earth then they did. In any case they were going to learn that the Alteraians and not witches and wizards were to top of the food chain and that included the slayers and wicca's.

Part 20 New plan
Taking Charge if his world
Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Gate SG-1, Star Gate Atlantis, Buffy the vampire slayer or Harry Potter. Sadly they all belong to their wonderful creators and their corporations.
Part 20 New plan
The Malfoy Elder really did not like having to fetch things for the dark Lord. He was a leader a man of means. However he did agree that he had unique access to various restricted areas of the Wizarding world.
His being on the board of Hogwarts meant they had access to the Book of Names and it would once more give them a chance to eliminate the mud blood filth before they ever even entered Hogwarts.
Lucius still was amused that no one on the light side ever questioned why so few mud bloods joined their ranks during the war. Of course they had perhaps believed that many had rejected the chance. In the past before discovering how to break the copy spell on the book he had only been able to find a few names and addresses now however he had an updating book to use. It would mean they could hunt the animals at their pleasure.
He flooed to his home and picked up the port key and was sent to his Master.
Lucius hoped that this would mean that they could at last deal with the abominations before they entered their world.
The port key took Lucius to the now fidelus protected Riddle manor. He appeared in the antechamber. It still looked run down. With a wary sigh he made a decision. It might get him in some trouble but he was so not going to be staying in this dump.
He proceeded into the main chamber and the dark lord.
As he entered he found the Dark Lord was not alone. So he waited to be recognized. As he did so he considered how to phrase his request. He had no intention of being punished for insulting his lord's family home.
Voldermort saw Malfoy enter his hall. He noted that the Pureblood was being tailed by two elves. His eyes narrowed at that. He did not like house elves however he did note that the elves were carrying bags for their master. He wondered what his servant had brought him.
"Come forward Lucius what have you brought me?"
"My Lord it occurs to me that you will be in need of more robes. I have brought several for you to choose from. My elves can tailor them to fit you sire. I also thought that perhaps they could fix up your chambers to suit you. I am certain that you would wish them to fit your status. In fact these elves could care for your every need sire. I also have a copy of the book of names for you to preview."
Voldermort's snake like eyes narrowed. "So you believe my home is not fit for you?" He ignored the later part he had expected that as he had ordered it done.
"No sire I just thought that perhaps you would wish them updated. A man of your status should be able to have all he desires."
Voldermort was a bit annoyed however he was willing to admit if only to himself that the house needed to be repaired and updated. He gave his servant a hard look.
"That is of course true. I do find these robes that Worm Tail got me to be in need of refreshing. Thank you for bringing me more clothing. I am glad you considered this. He rose. "Attend me Lucius. We will discuss the house and our other plans as I change."
"Yes My Lord." Lucius said. He bowed. He followed Voldermort as he headed toward his rooms. It seemed he was going to have to play Valet.
Dumbledore was returning to Hogwarts from the Ministry. It seemed that lately all he did was handle fires that some fool at the ministry set. He walked through the wards and headed to his office. As he did so he connected with the wards and got the report that the several of his political opponents had been in the castle. This was definitely not good. He resisted the urge to run to his office but considered what mischief they might have been up too. He was going to have to get a report from all the portraits and ghosts.
Those at Rowan all meet in the main sitting room. It was time to find out exactly what was going on. They had all been brought here by elves and were all people that Lily and James trusted implicitly with the safety of their son and Sirius Black. While James and Lily had begun to explain things it was more than clear that their story was not exactly being believed.
"We had to be away for a while on a mission. We had decided to retreat here at Rowan and to leave clones back at the cottage at Godrics hollow on case something went wrong. However the clone we had made of Harry malfunctioned and we had to come back here to replace it. Harry was sleeping so peacefully that we decided to leave our clones to look after him. We had hoped that we would be back in less than two hours. However the machine we use to make clones was giving us problems. We had called the Grangers to have Emile come over and help repair it but as you know Worm Tail betrayed us." James explained.
"Clones, what is a clone?" Minerva asked.
"I did not know you could clone people?" Hermione said "I mean would that not mean there were two of you then like a twin? Did you uses Magic or science? Don't you consider clones as people and as family?"
The portraits looked a little uncomfortable at that question.
However Lily thought it a fair one but decided to explain the idea of a clone first. "A clone is an exact duplicate of the original. It is made out of the Stem Cells found in the human stomach.
The clones we made were not going to last. I would like to say we have kept them but we lost the technology to do that many years ago. What we could do was make clones that lasted a few months. We explained it to the clones and they were basicly us and wanted to help.
They copied their memories and that became part of our own. We also made backups so that if one day we could fix the issue they could be reborn. It was not ideal but it was all we could come up with to have one more back up plan to protect Harry.
Neither, James or I trusted Dumbledore anymore. Too many of our friends and family had died because he would not let us fight back properly. The final straw for us was when we believed Marlene was killed. She was pregnant and it devastated Sirius even if he did not know the truth at that time. I was not willing to risk Harry. I convinced James that the cloning was necessary. I know it seems extreme but, had it worked then the dark Lord would been killing a clone not us."
"Aren't clones people too?" Luna asked.
"Yes Luna, that part was hard." James said. "However Lily and I would have died to keep Harry safe. The clones were his family too.
They did die for him. We were in the process of creating another Harry Clone and we had to take extra samples from both Lily and I we were also getting updates from the clones memories.
We were in the machines, which are tubes and when the clones were killed we were sent into stasis. The machine misfired and locked our bodies into stasis.
We woke as portraits and our bodies and minds are secure in stasis. The problem is our machines are not working properly.
Our minds can't be reloaded properly because of the machines malfunction. It should have downloaded the clone's minds to us and then woke us. However something malfunctioned and here we are.
The only way to fix us and wake our bodies is to put them into a working machine. We will need Atlantia, Atlantis, Camelot or Lemueria or Themiscyra medical wings to recreate the proper connections. If not then maybe the Asgard could help but that a long shot as none have been seen in over 30 years."
"Asgard that a Norse Myth?" Minerva said she looked confused.
"Yes and no, the Asgard were some of our people's greatest allies." Emile said. "They are very advanced and they use clones as a means of reproduction."
"Sounds mighty boring and kind of lonely," Fred said."I mean it be like making hundreds of Rons, scary."
Ron chuckled and said. "Well there are two of you and we survive it."
"Barely, can you imagine hundreds of Fred's and George's?" Ginny said.
"No, I think it would make me wish to be locked up in Bedlum." Minerva said looking horrified at the idea.
The twins laughed. "Hey we should see about making clones too. We could be our own Maurader group. Just think we could alibi each other." George said.
"I would just put you all in detention." Minerva said glaring. "Of course since you are out of school is one thing I don't have to worry about."
"We could make them ickle firsties." Fred shot back. His former head of house glared as everyone laughed.
"It would not work as the clones would not survive that long. We would never have done it if we were not desperate." James said.
"So do I have a brother?" Harry asked.
"No Harry we never finished. However, I suppose you could have one or two, or even a sister." Lily said.
Harry looked confused."So that a no then?"
"I had several embryo's frozen just on case. The death eaters were using some very dark curses. Your father and I never intended that you be an only child. We would have used a surrogate if need be." Lily said "I wanted to wait until the war was over though. I suppose I was scared just trying to keep you safe."
"So what do I do?" Harry asked. He was smiling however the idea of siblings was wonderful. "Can I should I find a surrogate to bring them to life. I mean I am the last Potter and siblings would ensure the family survives."
"Harry the only thing that matters to your mother and I is that you are safe and happy. Would we love for you to do that and have a bigger family to love you, hell yes, we would. However don't feel you have to just to save the family name. Even if you were the only child we ever had/ have we would be content." James said. "We had clones to try to ensure that."
Harry nodded but he was already thinking about hiring surrogates. He wanted all his potential siblings to survive. "Ah how many are there?"
If a portrait could blush Lily's face would match her hair. "We had 9 made." She did not bother to tell Harry that the main body she had was carrying triplets." We were taking no chances Harry; often times some do not survive being implanted. Your father and I had planned to use IVF because of medical reasons your father and I had to have some adjustments made. You my son were a welcome surprise and shock. The healers said I was never going to be able to have a child. It was why we had gone into the Muggle world for answers and help. You were a shock and miracle all in one."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Harry asked.
Hermione smacked him. "Harry that is a very personal question to ask them, maybe that question should wait until you are alone with your folks."
"Oh yeah right, sorry Mum, dad, this is all such a shock. A good one to be sure and I will make sure my siblings are born. How do we find a bunch of surrogates anyway I want to do it soon?"
"Later Harry, I swear you just are too eager to change nappies." Hermione said.
"Well yeah, I mean it will be fun, besides it's not like I am asking to start our own family just yet. We could use my brothers and sisters as practice. Besides I would not be so alone then. There would be more Potters and the family will go on and survive no matter what."
Hermione hugged him. "I know Harry but believe me siblings are a challenge."
Hermione's parent's chucked. "Well you did ask for them for years Hermione." Her mother said.
"Yeah but not a bushel at once, I mean really I expected and asked for one little sister or brother and I got a passel full."
"What's wrong with that?" Ron said laughing.
"Ron I love your family and you dearly but it was a shocking change." Hermione said.
"Yeah it can be right annoying when you want some privacy." Ginny agreed."Having to wait in line for a bathroom is never fun."
Ron had to agree with that one. He nodded.
The various parents all laughed at that. Privacy went out the window with even one child.
"I think we need to get back on track here." Sirius said still not really getting the clone thing. However he knew they had a lot to discuss and getting sidetracked would not help.
The Death Eaters port keyed back to their base. None of them had been killed but one of the Juniors had fallen to Dumbledore's spell chain.
The Muggle Aurors had captured him and they would likely have to spring him. Of course that all was depended on if the Dark Lord thought the brat worth the effort. Besides Havack Dunn should be able to assperate out once he woke up.
The leader of the group Jacob Georges went to the Dark Lord to make his report. For the most part their mission was a success there was no way they could have predicted Dumbledore showing up and the Muggle Aurors were really no problem but Mad Eye Moody showing up was a nasty surprise.
At least the Muggles had been good for something a distraction which had allowed them to escape. Twenty minutes later Jacob wished he had been killed as he crawled out of his master chambers. At least he was alive. Who knew Dunn was a favorite of the dark lords second? Damn he hurt all over worse yet he had to find out where the brat was being held and help Bella spring him. Sometimes it sucked to be in charge of a raid.
Voldermort was not overly happy at the report. However he was pleased that the Muggles and Aurors appeared to be fighting. He would need more intelligence on this situation. It also presented him with a very good opportunity.
"Lucius I have need of your elves' services."
"Yes My Lord what can I have them do for you?"
"I need them to make Aurors robes. Georges has given me some interesting news. It seems that the Aurors have attacked the Muggle Police men. That has created conflict between them. This is very good for us. I suggest we make it work for us.
I want a dozen Auror robes created so our faithful can go out and execute the Muggle population. I also want them to kill or maim as many of those Police officers and emergency service workers as they come across. I want the Muggles to do our killing for us.
When Aurors arrive I want them to be an enemy to the Muggles. They already fear the Aurors for taking memories their cameras have recorded the fools doing that. It will be simple enough to have our people kill and have the Ministry Aurors blamed for the deaths. Muggles tend to shoot first and ask questions later. This could thin the Auror corps for us. Also if they fail to appear to help the muggle borns this will also be useful for us. I think I will allow Georges to save Dunn and redeem himself on a raid in Auror's robes."
"That is a brilliant idea my lord." Malfoy said he had to agree it was a damned fine idea. Perhaps his master's mind was finally clearing?
"I am not going to allow you to take the city." John Sheppard said. "We have a duty here to the people we promised to help protect them."
Buffy gave him a hard look. "I know you have wakened the Wraith Major. However we have another war to fight right now. The Wraith will be held back by our Asgard allies and we will return. Once that war is won we will have allies who can and will help either heal or end the Wraith you will follow orders or be relieved of your command."
"I am an officer in the USAF you have no jurisdiction over me or this base it belongs to the USA." John said. He looked stubborn. He crossed his arms and tried to decide where he could go to lock the city down.
"I tend to agree with John on this one. What gives you the right to condemn our allies to death?" Elizabeth said.
Faith gave them a hard look. She knew this choice was upsetting Buffy and that it hurt her to pick and choose who might live and die. However Buffy had made the hard call. If they could end the Wizarding war there would be hundreds if not thousands of witches and wizards who could come out her to help find a cure or fight the wraith.
However to do that they needed to help save that world and that would require James and Lily Potter to step up and in. It would require cloning several people to rebuild the populations. In fact the plan called for doubling the population by returning many who had died. It was an insane plan but it could work.
"We have the authority because it was given by the President of the United States and the IOA which answers to us. I know this is shocking to you all but sometimes you have to win one war before you can win another. We will do all we can to help keep the people here safe. However we need the medical wing of this city. In fact if what we do works we will be able to help restore many populations with the Asgards help." Faith said. "This was not an easy call but we will do what we must."
"What you cannot bring back the dead." Ronan said glaring.
That got the Scooby's all laughing out loud. "Tell that to Buffy, or Daniel." Giles quipped.
There was little the group from Atlantis could say to that as they all knew Daniel Jackson died and came back like a yoyo if Buffy Summers did too then it made sense that death was not feared by these people.
"So what are you going to do clone everyone?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well yeah, we are. Cool ain't it." Cameron Mitchell said with a grin.
That shocked the people of the city to silence.
"Well not all but as many as we can plus we liberated some sarcofficy no that's not it what's that word? Well you know some of the Goauld magic boxes." Faith said. "Pop the dead in and out they come alive and kicking. Look it's not a perfect solution but we are going to help. Look the General got a clone, B got one and well Carson one so it does work right?"
