****As always I do not own Stargate nor do I own Harry Potter. I would like to thank all of my reviewers. A/n to Hadrian Caeser I haven't forgotten about Niam or his faction. I have a plan for them which will be revealed in the next few chapters. As always I have no beta reader.***

As Harry and his security escorts returned to Altera the gate shut down behind them Harry took a moment and allowed himself a small smile. How could he not. He had brought his people back to the stars and they had risen to the challenge. Now they where hours away from removing one of the great mistakes of their history.

"Sir, I meant to ask which of my brothers did you mean when you asked for them and myself to come to your office?" asked the ever officious Percy.

Chuckling slightly Harry said "I meant the twins and yourself."

"Aye sir." replied Percy as he went about his orders.

As Harry climbed the steps that led to Ops and his office he nodded in greeting to those that where working around him that he passed.

As Harry entered his office he sat for a moment. Noticing the case with the control crystal he moved it to a shelf behind him.

As he done so he called out "Computer put a call through to Hogwarts Hermione Granger's office."

A moment later the screen sprang to life showing Hermione. When she realized who was calling a smile lit up her face. "Harry. When did you get back?" she said.

"Hello my love. I have just returned temporarily that is. How are you?" said Harry with a smile.

"I'm good. How are things going in the Pegasus galaxy?" replied Hermione.

With a small sigh Harry replied "For the most part they are going well. We have destroyed 60 Wraith vessels and rescued almost 20000 people."

"That's excellent news." replied a smiling Hermione.

"It is. We have had some incidents of violence with the humans from Earth that had taken up residence in our city. It has for the most part been taken care of." said Harry.

"What do you mean?" asked Hermione with a frown.

"It is nothing for you to worry about. I have come back to use the genesis device at Dakara. We intend to use it to wipe out the Wraith or the bulk of them anyway." said Harry. There was no way he was telling Hermione that if he was not wearing his personal shield he would now be dead.

Pausing as she thought about it Hermione said "Do we really have the right to wipe out an entire species? I know they where the result of our negligence but still." letting what she was going to say trail off.

Sighing Harry replied "I know but I can see no alternative. We have tried in the ages past to make peace with them but it never lasted long. There is no way I can see that would bring a lasting peace with them."

"I know it just seems so wrong. Yes they have evolved due to our negligence but do we have the right." said Hermione.

"As I said I can't see a way for a lasting peace especially with them all awake. They are starving and there is only so much food to go around. To many hands to feed." snorted Harry.

"OK well I shall say no more on the matter then." replied Hermione.

"How are things going in Hogwarts?" inquired Harry.

"They're going great. We have so many students here and the teachers it's fantastic." replied Hermione with a small bounce in her seat.

"That's wonderful." said Harry with a smile. He was just about to say more when he saw Percy and the twins coming to his office.

"I have to go I have a meeting to get to." continued Harry.

"That's OK. I have to a class to teach anyway." replied Hermione.

"I love you." said Harry as he kissed two of his fingers and pressed them to the screen indicating a kiss for Hermione.

"I love you too Harry." replied Hermione.

"I'll talk to to soon OK?" said Harry.

"OK bye." replied Hermione as the screen went blank.

With a small smile Harry turned and addressed the Weasley's. "Gentlemen welcome."

"Oh esteemed High Chancellor Harrikins. How are you?" replied Fred or George Harry could still not figure out which was which.

Laughing Harry replied "I am good. Now I have called you hear for two reasons. Percy I want you to order the Ba'al duplicate to pull all of his Jaffa from Dakara. I am taking a team through to use the genesis device against the Wraith." As he reached behind him Harry picked up the metal case and opened it. Inside there was a set of control crystals.

"These have been programmed as follows. The first is programmed to dial the Atlantis gate and then from there all of the gates in the Pegasus galaxy thus distributing the wave to the entire galaxy. The second has been programmed with the genetic sequences from the Wraith both male and female as well as the genetic sequences from the insect that contributed to their evolution." continued Harry.

"That's I don't know what to say?" replied a gobsmacked Percy.

The twins where contemplating what Harry had said and the implications of it. "Are you sure this is the only way?" asked Fred.

"If you have any better ideas I'm all ears. We have looked at options and there is no way we could have any type of peace with them especially with them all awake now. Any peace would mean sacrificing people to be their food source and that is something I cannot do." replied Harry.

"I know it just seems so final but you are right on all points." replied George.

"Percy can you see about relaying the orders to the duplicate." said Harry.

"Aye sir." replied Percy as he stood to carry out his orders.

"Now you two." said Harry as he addressed the twins. "I am promoting both of you to commanders and I am giving you command of one of the Videum stations. While in the Pegasus galaxy we have encountered a race called the Travellers. They are a nomadic race who live in space on their ships. As was explained to me their ships are in desperate need of repair and the need new ships to handle their increased population. I want you to work on assembling your team. Those who will work under you. You have one week before we shall tow a station to Lantea in the Pegasus galaxy."

"Why us?" they asked in unison after a quick glance at each other.

Chuckling Harry said "You to are ready for this. You are inventive an dare I say it brilliant. I can think of no one better."

"We accept." they replied in unison.

Laughing Harry said "One day you will have to tell me how you do that."

"We have no idea what you mean." they replied in stereo.

"Go on you two you know what to do." replied Harry as he waved them off.

Without further comment they stood and left.

Chuckling to himself at their antics Harry murmured to himself "Now let's see what I need to do while I am here."

…..Earth SGC as the gate shut down after Harry left...

"We have a lot to go through. Shall we." said Dr Weir.

As they entered the briefing room they took their seats around the table. General Hammond being the most senior officer in the room took the seat at the head of the table. It may be General O'Neill's command but he still reported to General Hammond.

"What can you tell us Dr Weir?" inquired General Hammond.

Taking a moment to gather her thoughts she began "Sir as you know from my earlier report the Alteran's have reclaimed Atlantis. You know the situation with Colonel Everett, Sgt. Bates and Dr Kavanagh so I won't go over that again. In the last few days 60 Wraith vessels have been destroyed above Lantea and almost 20000 people have been rescued from their ships. I also know that there has been a ship and a Lantean crew rescued from deep space. They where treated and are resting in the auxiliary medical bays. Also a Lantean ship has been recovered from deep space. Apparently there was some damage to the hyper-drive and shields resulting in a major radiation leak which was the reason for the ship to be abandoned."

"What can you tell us about the High Chancellor?" inquired General O'Neill.

"At first he was extremely hostile to us being in Atlantis especially in light of the actions of Colonel Everett but he seems to have warmed slightly to our presence now. We have been working with the Alteran's. Me with the High Chancellor and Major Sheppard has been working with the defence personnel and Dr Beckett with the medical staff. He has said that he would not waste time by dealing with egotiscal politicians or those with that mentality. He seemed to know quite a bit about Earth and humanity in general." she replied.

"Well at least it's a starting point on better relations with them. Excellent work on that front Dr Weir and indeed all of the personnel in Atlantis." said Camille Wray.

"Do you have any inkling of what this mission the High Chancellor was referring to?" inquired Daniel Jackson.

"I do. He mentioned something about the genesis device on Dakara. They where able to obtain the DNA samples from the Wraith both make and female as well as the insect that contributed to their evolution. He intends to use the device to wipe out between 90-100% of the Wraith in the Pegasus galaxy." replied Dr Weir.

With his eyebrows climbing his face Tealc said "Dakara is the place where the first primta rite was carried out. It was this site the most holy of holy places to the Jaffa which began our enslavement to the Goa'uld."

"Really?" inquired Daniel.

"Indeed. I do not know how the Alteran High Chancellor will be able to access the sight without spilling a lot of Jaffa blood. The site is deep within Goa'uld territory. Ba'al is the system lord who holds sovereignty there." replied Tealc in his usual baritone of voice.

"That's something I don't think he has to worry about. He has hinted that the Goa'uld are not a problem for them. How and why he hasn't mentioned" replied Dr Weir.

Blanching at what she was hearing Colonel Carter whispered "To wipe out an entire species. The technology and power to do so it's..."

"Both horrible and awe inspiring at the same time. That is what I said to the High Chancellor when it came up." replied Dr Weir.

"Well we had better not piss him off then." replied General O'Neill.

"Indeed." replied Tealc.

Dr Jackson was frowning slightly.

"Is something the matter Dr Jackson?" asked Camille as she noticed his frown.

"No not really. It's just to wipe out an entire species is a bit much isn't it?" he asked the room.

"I know what you are saying Dr Jackson believe me I do but the alternative would be giving the Wraith territory and food which is people. That's something I cannot even begin to comprehend. I for one am glad that I don't have to decide. The moral implications alone would make me loose some serious sleep." replied Dr Weir.

"I know it's just so big of an action." replied Daniel Jackson.

"Well lets leave that to them. Now I want everyone to work proposals on how we go about obtaining an alliance with the Alteran's" said General Hammond.

"Sir, there is one more thing." replied a hesitant Dr Weir.

"Go ahead." replied General Hammond.

"What I am about to tell you must go no further than ourselves and the President am I clear." said Dr Weir in a tone of voice that brooked no argument.

"I would say that's ground for insubordination but from your tone Dr Weir I can see that it's not. So I will agree that whatever you tell us here will not go further to anyone that the President." replied General Hammond.

"I agree I shall not speak of this to the rest of the IOA." replied Camille.

"OK I don't know where it is located but somewhere on Earth there is a shielded area that is impervious to scans by the Alteran ships sensors. I have known about this for a few days. Even before the initial dial in that was facilitated by them. I have been told that there is something within that has the potential to bring horrors to this galaxy the likes of which would make dealing with the Wraith and the Goa'uld like a walk in the park by comparison." said Dr Weir to a stunned room.

"What could possibly be worse than the Wraith and the Goa'uld?" asked Colonel Carter.

"I do not know but I didn't want to mention it over the comm line when I dialled in. All I know is that the High Chancellor is aware of it and plans to deal with it very soon." replied Dr Weir.

General Hammond looked to General O'Neill who nodded in reply to his unasked question.

Turning to Dr Jackson he said "Dr Jackson I want you to look any legends or historical facts that could indicate anything to do with the Alteran's on Earth."

"Really?" asked Daniel.

"Yes, we are not going looking for whatever it is but it would be a good idea to know where it is." replied General Hammond.

Taking a breath that she didn't even realize she needed Dr Weir relaxed a little.

"OK people I want everyone to divide up and start pooling what information we can on the Alteran's. We have 48hrs people. I am aware that Dr Weir and her team need to rest so I we shall begin in 3 hours." replied General Hammond.

"Alright I shall have quarters assigned and we shall begin as General Hammond has said." replied General O'Neill as he stood.

…..Pegasus galaxy en-route to the site of the Attero device...

As the Alteran vessel Poseidon led the fleet through hyperspace everyone was working as diligently.

"Sir we are arriving at the Genii home-world. We will exit hyperspace in 60 seconds." said the lieutenant at the conn.

"Alright I want this quick and clean people. Beam the gate into orbit and then set a course for the Attero device site and engage at maximum velocity." said Admiral Moody.

"Aye sir. Exiting hyperspace in 3...2...1." replied the lieutenant.

As the Poseidon tore from the hyperspace window the vessel banked and assumed orbit there was a small flash of light in space and the astria porta was beamed into space with the thrusters powering up enabling it to maintain its orbit.

It was only a moment later that the Poseidon along with the rest of the Alteran and Asgard fleets swept back into hyperspace.

Several hours later Admiral Moody was in his ready room going over reports when the comm system beeped.

"Sir we are arriving at the sight. Sensors indicate that the structure appears to be intact. However there are two vessels on the surface of the planet within 500 meters of the site." came Lt. Ivonava's voice through the comm system.

As he stood and left the room Moody barked out "Is it the Wraith?"

"No sir. We are reading none of the compounds used in Wraith vessels. Also the ship design does not match the record of the Traveller ship encountered by Captain Black and the High Chancellor or indeed any vessel within our database." replied Lt. Ivonava.

"So this is a new player that we have?" said Moody as he took his seat "Signal the Asgard and let them know about the vessels."

"Aye sir." replied Lt. Ivonava as Commander Ochiba spoke.

"Sir we are getting a message the O'Neill it's Supreme Commander Thor." he said.

"Put it through." replied Moody.

"Aye." replied Commander Ochiba as he connected with Thor's communique.

On the bridge of the Poseidon the holographic representation of Thor appeared.

"Supreme Commander." inquired Admiral Moody.

"Admiral I have received your sensor data and we have scanned the area as well. I recognize these ships. They belong to a subset of the Asgard called the Vanir. They broke away from our society roughly 12 millennia ago. We tried to find them but to no avail. Those vessels are equipped with interstellar hyper-drives as opposed to the inter-galactic ones that are standard now." replied Thor.

Thinking for a moment Moody said "This is an internal matter for the Asgard and as such I bid you to take the lead on this. I will have the rest of the fleet take up position above the site to prevent them from leaving."

"Thank you Admiral." replied Thor and in typical Asgard fashion he closed the comm line without further conversation.

"Exiting hyperspace now sir." said Lt. Ivonava.

In space the hyperspace windows opened and out poured numerous Alteran vessels. As they assumed orbit above the planet sensors indicated Thor was placing his call to what was assumed to be the Asgard below.

…..On board the O'Neill Asgard vessel...

As he adjusted the controls on the ships comm system Thor said "This is Thor Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet to the Vanir on the planet below. Please respond."

After a moment of silence Thor was about to resend his message when his comm system beeped that he had an incoming hail. As the viewscreen blinked on an Asgard that looked slightly different in height and skin tone appeared.

"Thor, so you have finally managed to track us down?" stated the yet as unnamed Asgard.

"Sol, as unexpected as your presence here is you must comply with our operations." replied Thor.

"Why should we assist you. If I was to judge by your appearance you have not solved the problems with the cloning procedures whereas we have had a small measure of success." replied Sol.

"That is neither here nor there at the moment. Check your sensors you should be picking up our fleet in orbit above you." replied Thor and if he could have he would have smirked.

As Sol checked his sensors his head snapped up and he blinked rapidly in shock.

"The Alteran's have returned. The ships that you see in orbit are a combination of Alteran and Asgard." replied Thor.

"Why are you here?" asked Sol as he got himself back under control.

"The Alteran's have a plan in place to wipe out most if not all of the Wraith in one go. We are here to ensure this device is still operable." replied Thor.

Thinking for a moment Sol replied "We will turn over this site to you and the Alteran's on the condition that we are allowed to leave unmolested."

"Why don't you come back with us?" inquired Thor.

"And what have our bodies degenerate further. You and the others would not do what is necessary to ensure our survival." snapped Sol.

"It was wrong what you had proposed and what you have obviously done." replied Thor calmly.

"We do what we must to ensure our survival." replied Sol.

"That is no longer necessary Sol. The Alteran's and Heimdall are working on a solution as we speak. We believe it is only a matter of weeks before we have a cure." said Thor.

"Truly?" asked Sol with a little emotion leaking into his voice.

"Indeed and you would be welcomed home." replied Thor.

"And what would happen to us?" asked Sol.

"You would have to stand for your crimes that cannot be forgotten but you would be welcome." replied Thor.

Silence stretched out for a few moments before Sol replied "I cannot make that decision on behalf of the others. I would need to speak to my people and let you know."

"Then it is agreed. Your ships will be allowed to leave unmolested to talk to the rest of the Vanir." said Thor.

"Alright and where will we contact you when we have reached our decision?" inquired Sol.

"Do you know the location of Atlantis?" replied Thor.

"I do. We shall contact you there...and thank you Thor." replied Sol.

As the viewscreen went blank Thor whispered to no one "Please my son make the right choice."

Bowing his head in slight shame and sorrow Thor took a moment to compose himself. After a moment he placed a comm call to the Poseidon.

As the viewscreen once again lit up this time it was the bridge of the Poseidon that was displayed.

"Admiral Moody I have spoken to the leader of the Vanir and they have agreed to relinquish the site to us. I have given my word that they can leave unmolested." said Thor.

"Alright we read that they are evacuating the site. If I may ask why are they leaving?" replied Moody.

"They have to hold council among themselves about returning home." replied Thor.

Sensing there was more to the conversation Admiral Moody choose to leave it alone as this was an internal matter for the Asgard to deal with.

As the two Vanir vessels rose from the surface of the planet and moved to enter hyperspace Thor could only watch and hope.

…..Avalon...

As Harry was reading through the reports of what was happening in the Avalon galaxy and on Altera itself he was lost in his readings and musings as he awaited Aiyana to come to his office.

He placed a comm call to the Hephaestus station and after a moment it was answered.

"Admiral Granger, how are things going?" inquired Harry.

"High Chancellor, things are progressing nicely. We have a further 30 ships finished and they are preforming trial runs and weapons tests in the outer arm of the galaxy." replied Dan.

"And the twins?" inquired Harry with a small smile.

Chuckling Dan replied "They have us run ragged and they are only 6 months old."

"Well children will do that to you." chuckled Harry in response.

"I take it this isn't a social call?" inquired Dan.

"No I have something for you to work on with that crack team of yours." replied Harry.

"Oh?" said Dan with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes I want you to..." said Harry.

As Harry spoke Dan listened and nodded in places.

"That should not be a problem. It will take some time as we have a lot happening at the moment." replied Dan.

"That is not a problem as it is not a high priority at the moment." replied Harry and out of the corner of his eye he could see Aiyana walk into his office.

"I have to go my next appointment has arrived." continued Harry.

"No worries Harry. I will have a preliminary report ready in a few hours." replied Dan.

As he nodded Harry said "I will talk to you in a few hours. Potter out." and the viewscreen went blank.

Turning to face Aiyana Harry graced her with a small smile and said "Aiyana, it is good to see you."

Taking a seat on the other side of Harry's desk Aiyana said "High Chancellor it is good to see you too."

"Would you like some tea or another beverage?" asked Harry.

"Actually I wouldn't mind some coffee if you have some." replied Aiyana with a small smile.

Chuckling Harry replied "I see you have discovered the vice Dan and the others of the command staff."

Laughing a little herself Aiyana replied "This is true." as she accepted the mug of coffee that Harry got from the small replicator in his office as he order himself some tea.

"So how are things going in life sciences?" inquired Harry.

"Really well High Chancellor. Egeria is just about healed and her new host has been prepared and is awaiting implantation." replied Aiyana.

"This is excellent news." replied Harry.

"Indeed also you should know that we are almost finished curing the Asgard cloning problems and can return them to a fecund state. However there is one more issue on that front we have to resolve." said Aiyana.

"Oh?" inquired Harry with a slight frown.

"Yes we need to do a live trial if you will. Heimdall is willing to do it but I wanted to run it passed you first." said Aiyana.

Thinking for a moment Harry said "Heimdall is not to do the live trial. If something goes wrong he could die. I want you to have Heimdall contact the Asgard home-world and request one of the minds in storage brought to Avalon and have him or her transferred to the new body. I know it seems a little cold hearted but it would be better to do it this way than risk an Asgard that is currently in possession of a living body."

Nodding she replied "I can see where you are coming from."

As they made small talk between each other Percy came into Harry's office.

"Sir we have confirmation all Jaffa have been pulled back from Dakara." said Percy.

"Excellent. Please have a security detail ready to accompany me to Dakara." replied Harry.

"Aye sir." said Percy as he turned and headed back to Ops.

"How come you are travelling to Dakara?" inquired Aiyana.

"You remember from our history. When we first settled I this galaxy we found almost no life. We constructed and used the device at Dakara to seed life through the galaxy. When the plague struck we used it again to destroy life and start it again to leave behind new races that would rise. I intend to use the device to removing the Wraith as a threat." replied Harry.

"That's...I could see how that would work but correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't you need their genetic sequences to specifically target them." said Aiyana.

"We have that covered. There where several Wraith bodies in Atlantis that the people from Earth had already killed and we secured a sample of a Wraith Queen that was trapped in a downed hive-ship 3km's from Atlantis on the ocean floor. We have also obtained the sample from the insect that contributed to their evolution." replied a smirking Harry.

"Excellent news. Well I shall get out of your way then." said Aiyana as she finished her coffee and rose to leave.

"Thank you Aiyana." said Harry as she departed his office.

As Harry tidied the mugs away he turned and picked up the small metal case and headed out to Ops.

"How are the preparations coming?" asked Harry as he came up beside Percy.

"Really well sir. We have a full security group assembled and waiting for you. The are all equipped with wands, personal shields and stun guns." replied Percy.

"Excellent, please dial Dakara." said Harry as he moved to the steps that led to the area in front of the gate.

"Aye sir. Dialling now." replied Percy as he began to input the co-ordinates into the clavis. As he did so the chevrons on the gate lit up and as he input the last one the event horizon formed and the gate was activated.

"Security teams move out secure the area around the gate." said Harry.

As the order was given the 30 people moved through the gate in two rows with Harry following up last.

Just as he was about to step through Percy called out "Good luck sir."

"Thank you." replied Harry and he stepped through the gate.
