Chapter 53 Problems begin to grow

"You can tell carter that the modified Kull warrior beam destroyers Dementor but we need to increases the rate of fire." stated Jack as he walked through the corridors of the Daedalus still dressed in his SGC uniform with Colonel Caldwell.

"I will send the message." Said Caldwell

"Also I got the video from the stupid video camera you had me put on my gun." said Jack as he took off a small lazer pointer video camera he had on his gun.

"So what are they doing down there?" asked Caldwell

"Rounding up muggle born and treating them like the jews in Nazi Germany." said Jack as he looked at Caldwell

"Colonel I fear that you may be going native, muggles, muggle born." said Caldwell "Did you forget that muggles are the common person on earth."

"Maybe I am going a little native but it doesn't matter." said Jack "Now are you ready to beam me back to Number 12 Grimmauld place."

"We can but from our scans your team has moved to a field in the English country side." said Caldwell as Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Why would they do that?" asked Jack

"You tell me." said Caldwell

"Alright beam me down and if you don't hear from me in 10 minutes beam everyone up." said Jack as the two of them walked onto the bridge.

"Roger we can't get you on top of them but we can get you close." said Caldwell as he sat down in the command chair "We will break orbit once you have reunited with your team to head back to the Pegasus galaxy."

"Understood." said Jack as he double checked his P-90 before being beamed down into a darkened woods. Instantly he ducked behind a nearest tree as he scanned the darkened woods for any sign of his friends or an enemy, however nothing was there. Slowly he pulled out his life sign detector, as four strong singles came in from right in front of him. He moved forward until suddenly he hit an energy barrier and was thrown backwards.

"Jack!" yelled Kim's voice as she appeared out of nowhere. "Are you alright?"

"Sometimes I hate Magic." answered Jack as rubbed his head as Kim helped him to his feet.

"We thought you were lost." said Kim as she waved her wand showing a small tent located on a small rise which wasn't there before.

"The Daedalus beamed me out." answered Jack "What happened to going back to Harry's house?"

"One of the Ministry wizards latched on to Hermione and he saw the front door of the place." explained Kim "That means he can come through the door at anytime with dozens of Death Eaters."

"Did everyone make it out ok?" asked Jack as they reached the tent.

"In a way." said Kim as she lifted the opening to the tent to show a space much bigger on the inside then it was on the outside. Outside it looked like a normal tent however the inside was like a small house, sitting chairs bedrooms, kitchen and a bathroom complete with shower. Lying on a couch with a sling on his arm was Ron sitting beside him was Harry and Hermione.

"Just a little bit more." said Hermione as she poured some potion onto the wound.

"Ron got splinted during the apparition, a large chunk of his shoulder is gone." said Kim weakly as Jack moved forward. Kneeling beside Hermione and Harry who jumped when they saw Jack.

"Jack? Where have you been." asked Harry

"I beamed out and I had to be debriefed." answered Jack "Sorry it took so long. Can I do anything?"

"No…his arm just needs time to heal." said Hermione as she put the potion back into her bag

"We don't have any food." said Kim "Everything that wasn't in our bag is back at the Grimmauld place."

"Alright I will radio the Daedalus see what I can get." Said Jack before looking at Ron "Do you want anything special."

"A bacon sandwich." said Ron weakly.

"Alright." said Jack as he stood up and walked out the tent along with Kim before pressing his radio. "Colonel Coldwell this is O'Neill."

"G o ahead." said Coldwell

"Everyone is relatively safe; one member is hurt but recovering." said Jack

"Do you require a medical beam out?" asked Coldwell

"Doesn't seem to be needed." said Jack "However we are low on food supply so if you can."

"We can beam down some of our emergence MREs." said Coldwell

"Very well, also the injured man has requested a bacon sandwich." said Jack

"What are we a fast food company now?" asked Coldwell

"Colonel, this is a hurt man." explained Jack

"Very well, expect delivery in five minutes. Place a beacon down." said Coldwell as the transmission stopped.

"We fucked up big time." said Kim as she sat down on a stool outside of the tent. "We should have planned it out better."

"If we had all those people who we freed would be imprisoned right now." Answered Jack "Also I am sure the Daily Prophet will have a field day saying muggle born attacked the ministry."

"And nothing can stop them from saying that." said Kim

"Well they will have trouble explaining away the video I took of their imprisonment of Muggle borns and their so called trails." said Jack "They will whip the American People and the rest of the free magical world against them."

"Apart from the ones who already sided with you-know-who." said Kim as Jack raised an eyebrow. "Ron thinks the word is cursed."

"Alright then." said Jack before lowering his voice "Why aren't you at Ron's side right now?"

"Hermione had the potion that could heal him and she is the best with that, Harry is his best friend and he can provide more support than me, I would be busy fighting back tears." said Kim as she looked toward Ron with longing in her eyes. "Someone had to stand guard."

"Go." said Jack "I will stand watch."

"Thanks but I'll wait till the food arrives, Ron will want that sandwich." said Kim

"Trying to get to the man's heart though his stomach I see." laughed Jack as Kim smiled just a bit something that didn't go unseen by Ron.

"Ya, I guess." Said Kim

"Have you guys destroyed the Horcrux?" asked Jack

"No…we have been focused on trying to heal Ron and then finding out what happened to you." said Kim "We will try that in the morning."

"Colonel O'Neill food is coming in." said a voice over the radio

"Roger." said Jack as a flash of light filled the darkness as two the crass full of food appeared. On top of it was a plate with a hot bacon sandwich on it.

"We are heading out." said Coldwell

"Well have a safe journey." said Jack

"It will be nice to have some food." said Kim as she picked up the plate with the sandwich on it.

"Take it to Ron." said Jack as he picked up the case of food and carried it into the tent.

"Here Jack let me." said Hermione as she flicked her wand as the case began to float in the air.

"That makes it easier." Said Jack as Kim moved to Ron's side with the sandwich.

"Here." said Kim as Ron lifted his head at the smell of the warm sandwich. He tried to move his hand to grab it only to wince in pain.

"Here let me." Said Kim as she took the sandwich and lifted to Ron's mouth who started eating.

"Thanks Kim." said Ron in between bites.

"Just don't get used to it Ron." Said Kim with a laugh

"Harry let's leave them alone." said Hermione as she went into the kitchen with Jack who was looking at case full of MREs.

"How many do we have?" asked Harry

"A normal case contains 50 meals and Coldwell sent two down." answered Jack

"Three meals a day for five people that means it will last us…." said Hermione as she ran though the numbers in her head. "Just over a week."

"Ya, that would be correct however someone up there screwed up." said Jack as he opened the first case to show a case full of spare computer parts not food.

"You have got to be kidding me." said Harry

"See its labeled food but some idiot in packing must have used the wrong box or put the wrong label on." said Jack

"How can this happen?" asked Harry

"It happens more than you think." said Jack "I remember when we requested some fresh blankets and instead we got a load of 10,000 tooth brushes."

"Does the other one have food?" asked Hermione as Jack opened the box, he let out a breath when he saw the MRE label on top.

"We got some." said Jack "But we will have to spread this out."

"Can't you radio the American government and get some food?" asked Harry

"Yes, but if I do it may give away our position." answered Jack "Coldwell told me that the Ministry of Magic and Death Eaters are now watching muggle military bases for anything out of the normal."

"We will just have to make it last." said Hermione before she wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and pulled him into a hug "I am just glad you're safe."

Suddenly Harry grabbed his head.

"Harry is it…" said Hermione

"Yes, it's Vol." started Harry "You-know-who he is after someone….someone who stole something from someone named Gregorovitch."

"Gregorovitch….that is the guy who made Viktor's wand." said Hermione

"Why would he have that you-know-who would want." said Jack

"We will worry about that later we need to get some food in our stomachs and some rest." said Jack "Also we will take different watches."

"We will think of something." said Hermione as she looked at Harry. "Harry are you still wearing the Horcrux?"

"ya." answered Harry as he looked at the locket of Slytherin

"I don't think any of us should be wearing it." Said Hermione

"We are not leaving it lying around on some table….what if it gets taken?" asked Harry

"Next time a ship is in orbit we can beam it back to Area 51." Said Jack "No one will get to it there."

"NO!" yelled Harry as Hermione and Jack looked at him. "Sorry but this is the task Dumbledore left me I can't hand it off."

"Alright, we will pass it back and forth every five hours." offered Jack "Does that sound like a plan."

"Ok." said Harry as he calmed down.

Later that night Jack sat just outside the tent with his P-90 in hand, the entire forest was darkened the only sound was the occasional owl or the rustling of leaves on the ground. Jack checked his watch it was just after 2 in the morning meaning he had another hour left in his shift before Kim replaced him. He slowly stood up checked the tent, it was still darkened and judging from the sound coming from Ron's and Harry's room Ron was sound asleep. Jack closed the tent again before stepping away from the tent, he sat himself down under a tree as he set himself in for a night of guard duty.

The following morning after they packed everything up the five of them gathered around the locket.

"Alright we each try our best spell to open it." said Hermione as she raised her wand toward the locket of Slytherin which had been set up next to lean against a large tree stump.

"I'll go first." said Kim as she raised her wand toward the locket she waved the wand in a wide circle before jabbing toward the locket to everyone's amazement a stream of blue energy shot forth hitting the locket, a cloud of dirt rose up. When it settled the locket remained up without a mark on it around it in a perfect circle was nothing, the magic had designated the wood allowing them to see right to the other side of the tree.

"You have got to be kidding me." said Kim

"My turn." said Ron as he sent an ice charm at the locket but it simply repealed the charm. Hermione's fire charm or Harry's stun charm left no mark on it.

"Let's see how muggle technology stands up." Said Jack as he reached into his vest and pulled out a block of C4. "Hermione we are muffled right?"

"Yes." answered Hermione as she waved her wand.

"Alright, then stand back." ordered Jack as the five of them got down into a small ditch. "Fire in the hole!"

With that Jack pushed the button causing a massive cloud of dirt and destroyed rock to fly up into the air.

"That has to have destroyed it." said Ron as the dirt settled as a good size creator appeared.

"No it didn't." said Jack as he pointed toward the shiny metal Slytherin locket which looked as if it had just been cleaned.

"Son of a bitch how do we destroy this thing?" asked Kim as she through her hands up in the air

"One last try." said Jack as he pulled his ZAT and quickly fired three times, to his amazement it did nothing. "That should have turned it into atoms."

"Well it didn't." stated Harry as he picked up the Horcrux and placed it around his neck.

"I'll clean this up." said Hermione as she flicked her wand as the dirt flew back in covering the hole and making the entire ground look as if they had never been there.

"We better get going." said Jack as he took Hermione's arm as he did a side by side appration. They appeared in a small group of trees. In the distance Jack could just make out a small strait of water

"Where are we?" asked Ron

"According to my GPS we are on the Isle of Write." said Jack as he looked at his hand held GPS.

"Ya, I thought it would be a safe bet." said Hermione as they began setting up their defenses.

"I will get the tent up." said Harry as he started setting up the tent.

"Can we eat?" asked Ron
