The next day, Harry, Isabel, Zeke and Zed were in Isabel's car heading towards Hogwarts, following the hidden tracks from King's Cross station. "Why are we going here, again," asked Zed.

"Because you two are going to help with the equipment set up," said Harry, looking at his phone as he laid in a seat. "Isabel can't do it alone, and I can't operate in a Dark Zone."

"Why isn't Sasha here?"

"Because she opted not to join," said Isabel from the front seat. "And we need to make sure you two idiots don't try wasting resources on hoverboards again."

"Fair point." Zed sat back in his seat, sighing.

"Personally, I like this," said Zeke, messing with the computer Isabel installed to the car. "Never seen one of these old magical places. Hell, I'm still on what the hell Boss did with this car! It's kick ass!"

"Thanks Zeke," said Isabel with a grin. "That must be Hogsmeade up ahead. Bringing us down!" Zed gripped his seat on instinct as Zeke stuck his head out a window like a dog and whooped. He soon came back in coughing.

"Think I swallowed a bug." Harry and Zed laughed When Isabel parked the car, she saw three people with Dumbledore. She climbed out and grinned.

"Hello everyone!" Seeing what she was wearing, Minerva McGonagall gave her a scandalized look. Albus seemed slightly amused at his colleague's expression. Severus Snape stood nearby, scowling slightly at the car Dumbledore told him would be transporting the son of Lily and James Potter. Argus Filch looked at the vehicle with trepidation. He'd heard about cars from Muggleborn students talking with magical students in passing and didn't like what he'd heard. Seeing one in person, he didn't know how to react.

"Good Afternoon, Ms. Daniels," said Dumbledore. "I hope you haven't been up long."

"We get up early on a daily basis," shouted Harry from an open window. He peered through at the group greeting them. "My mother is a bit of an early bird and has gotten me into the habit. Isabel had to be forced awake with a bucket of ice water."

"Quiet." She turned back to the group. "So, do you have a room we can use as a starting point for the equipment?"

"Indeed we do. If you will please follow me."

"Zeke, Zed. Please get the equipment from the trunk."

"Sure thing, Boss," called Zeke as he climbed out of the Impala. He looked up at the castle when he did. "Whoa…" Harry looked out the window.

"Whoa is right."

"I notice Potter is not even volunteering to help," said Snape.

"He can't help," said Isabel. "Not yet, at least. Harry can't enter a Dark Zone, or non-electrical zone, for long before his magic has a negative effect on him. He starts seizing in the absence of electrical equipment. We still haven't figured out why Technomancers react this way, but Harry thinks it has something to do with the energy aspect of their magic."

"If you ask me he's just looking for attention."

"And if it were anyone else, I'd agree. But Harry is not anyone else. He's probably the brightest kid in the world, and definitely one of the most honest." She used a nail file to cut a small hole in her hand and formed a blade made of blood and aimed it at his neck. "Insult my protégé again, and you'll regret it, you hook nosed, greasy haired, asshole." Snape eyed the blood blade and glared at Isabel.

"Leave him alone," called Harry. "Pleasure to meet you, Severus Snape. My mother's journals spoke highly about you from when you were friends. I'm afraid I must refrain from shaking your hand for now, being confined to this car, and all." Snape glared at him, softer than he did Isabel, but still with an ounce of hate. He turned around and stalked into the castle, cloak billowing behind him. "How did he do that?"

"Do what," asked Zed.

"When he was walking away, his cloak was billowing when there's hardly a breeze right now."

"Who knows," said Isabel. She clapped twice. "Chop, chop boys. We're burning daylight."

"Did she just rich girl clap us," asked Zeke.

"She is a rich girl," said Harry. "You're really surprised she'd do something like that?"

"Not really," said Zed as he and Zeke hefted a heavy chest out of the trunk. "I'm just wondering why she didn't enchant these things to be lighter."

"Because she sucks at it. I'd help, but you know…"

"Don't worry, Little Man," said Zeke. "We got this. You just sit tight till we get the first wires set up."

"Like I can do anything else." Harry sighed as he went over to the computer and started going through news files, trying to find anything interesting going on in the outside world. He came across a news article about him and Cole during the Empire City incident. He read through the article and came across a nickname people who saw Cole down in the sewers as he jumpstarted the power in sections of the city. "Human Conduit? Huh. Conduit. Guess it makes sense as a nickname. Hell, might as well be another name for the Alpha Technomancers."

"Call incoming," said Holly. "It seems Padma wants to talk."

"Alright." Harry answered the call. "Hello?"

"Harry," asked Padma.

"Hi Padma."

"This phone is remarkable. And the internet is incredible. I didn't know there were so many amazing things in the Muggle World."

"Most people in the Magical UK don't. It's mainly because certain families make money from outdated practices and they don't want to lose said money to modernized techniques and practices, even though upgrading could net them more money."

"That sounds stupid."

"Greed makes people stupid majority of the time. So, what's up?"

"I just felt like talking. It's not like I know a lot of people with phones, after all."

"Nice to know I'd be so high on the list of people you'd talk to," he joked.

"You like to think you're funny, don't you?"

"I don't think I'm funny. I know I am."

"Keep telling yourself that, Harry. Um…"

"What's up?"

"Would it be alright if I came to you right now? I kind of want to know how to do the same things you do."

"I'm kind of busy, right now. I have to help set up the equipment so going to Hogwarts doesn't kill us."

"Oh…" Harry cringed as he heard the slight disappointment in her voice.

"But I think you helping me would be some good training. I'm at Hogwarts right now. So we can map out the place while we're here. You'd just have to ask your parents for permission, and I'd have to walk you through Charging and working with some of this stuff." Harry could practically feel her smiling.

"I'll ask them right now!" Harry could vaguely make out her speaking to her parents. After a few moments she got back on the call. "Alright. They said it was ok. So how do I, what did you call it?"

"Charging. Basically, you'll be turning your body into pure energy. It feels a bit weird at first, but after a while you get the hang of it. What you do is hold out your hand to the phone and treat it like a doorway to a long corridor. Just make sure you have someone to answer your phone to get back. And make sure it's on a table before Charging. Don't want your phone dropping and breaking, do we?"

"No. Ok." He heard her take a deep breath before hearing a crackle and knew she'd entered the phone call's wireless connection. A few seconds later, she shoots out of his phone, her sister holding her hand and they land on top of him. Harry and Padma blush as they realize they're kissing. She hurriedly gets off of him as Parvati rubs her head.

"That was fun," she said with a smile.

"I guess it is safe to travel with people then," said Harry. He shared a look with Padma, and both looked away blushing slightly. He cleared his throat. "I should let Isabel know we have company here."

"R-right," said Padma. Parvati just looked around the car. Harry pulled out a radio and got a hold of Isabel.

"Still not ready, Kid. We barely just arrived at the room."

"That's not why I'm calling, Izzy. Padma and Parvati are here. Their parents agreed for Padma to visit so I could teach her how to use her magic."

"Hi, Padma, Parvati."

"Hello, Miss Daniels," said Padma to the radio.

"Hey, Parvati. We need an extra set of hands over here."

"I don't know how to do anything with technology," she told the radio. "And don't ask me to carry anything either."

"I was joking."

"We both know you weren't Izzy," said Harry with a sigh. "You'd do anything for free labor."

"Shut up!" Harry grinned as she clicked off her radio. Harry grinned as Padma giggled. Parvati went over to the computer, seeing Harry's picture on the news article.

"What's this?"

"That's a computer. We'll be adding a few of these to the school as well. Using these devices and equipment to act as transmitters we can connect to the internet. Isabel's car has it's own router and modem on a separate power source than the car's battery, allowing us to connect to the internet." He demonstrated how to go to different sites including how to search for specific things using Google. Parvati sat in his lap and started searching for a fashion website. "Can I get up?"

"No, you're comfortable." She winked at him and opened a site. She found a website she found while searching on her phone. Padma giggled as Harry tried pushing her off to no avail.

"Good luck," she told him. "Once she gets an interest in something, there's no moving her. Especially with the phones you gave us. Dad couldn't get her to come to dinner for an hour."

"Just a day with a phone and already like modern teenagers. That's gotta be a record."

"Hey," said Parvati. "What's this?" She pointed to the screen and showed he was getting a skype call.

"Oh, that's another feature on your phone. Skype is basically a video call." He looked at the caller and grinned. "Oh, it's Sakura."

"That's your friend, right," asked Padma. He nodded and accepted the call.

"Hey, Sakura."

"Onii-Chan!" Sakura smiled until she noticed Parvati sitting in his lap. "Who are you and why are you in my future husband's lap?..." Harry groaned and facepalmed.

"Future husband," asked Padma.

"Sakura has a bit of a crush on me. And can be very protective of me when it comes to other girls."

"Get off of him," she shouted at Parvati.

"Make me," Parvati grinned as she leaned against Harry, smiling as Sakura got angrier. Harry sighed.

"Sakura," he said. "Calm down. These are the Patil twins I told you about. The one next to me is Padma. And the one on top of me is Parvati."

"Hello," said Parvati with a devious grin. Padma simply smiled slightly and waved. Sakura continued to glare at Parvati, making Harry sigh once more.

"What's with the sudden call, Sakura?"

"Oh right. Uncle Danzo wants you to look at a design one of his employees made. So far, he hasn't found any Technomancers of his own."

"What's the design?"

"Sending it to your phone now." Harry pulled up the blueprints as Padma looked at Sakura.

"Excuse me. If you don't mind my asking. Why is your hair purple?"

"Oh. I was born with my hair like this."

"You were?" Harry hid a grin as the twins looked at her, amazed.

"Yep. I'm unique." She smiled proudly.

"She's messing with you," said Harry. "She asked her aunt to dye her hair purple when she was 6 after watching an anime. She wanted to stand out. Her eyes, on the other hand, she was born with. She chose to match her hair with her eyes."

"Onii-Chan!" Sakura pouted at Harry, making him smile and laugh. He looked at the design.

"Is this what I think it is?"

"Yup."

"Dibs."

"You're not trained with it!"

"And you are?"

"Not yet, but…"

"Then dibs."

"You can't call dibs on this! It's from our company!"

"And you're asking me to design the prototype. For something that probably won't see use outside of what me and Cole do. So, I repeat. Dibs." Sakura pouted again. "You know that never works on me."

"It will one day."

"But today is not that day. Tell Danzo I'll make the prototype. And I get the perfected version when the last design is finished." Holly blinked into existence.

"Should you really be using it," she asked him. "You do need specific training for it."

"I'll just download the training from the internet."

"It doesn't work like that," said Sakura. "It takes years of practice and training. Training I've only just begun. You can't just download forms and expect to know how to wield it."

"Tell you what. I'll make two models. One for me, one for you. And, I'll make a set of armor to go with it."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"…Fine. But only if you keep your promise. Because if you don't, deals off."

"I know, Sakura."

"Good." She turned to the twins. "It was nice meeting you, Padma."

"I feel the same, Sakura." Sakura looked Padma up and down before turning to Harry.

"I approve." Padma and Harry blushed lightly. She looked at Parvati and glared. "Get off of him!"

"No," said Parvati. She smirked again and kissed Harry's cheek. Sakura growled before the screen turned to static after she threw something at the computer she was in front of. Harry sighed.

"Now I'm going to have to go over and fix that. Thanks a lot, Parvati."

"You're welcome."

"Now would you please… GET OFF?!" His outburst startled her into falling to the ground and Harry adjusted his tie. "Thank you."

"Ow…"

"Deserved," said Padma.

"Shut up." Harry looked at the castle and saw Zed and Zeke setting up cameras at the entrance. Hidden well enough so that, if you didn't know what you were looking for, you'd miss them.

Harry pointed to the entrance. "See those two working over there," he asked the twins. They turned to the entrance.

"Yeah," asked Parvati.

"The chubby one is Zeke and the tall one is Zed. They're two of our R&D team and close friends to Isabel. Normally we'd have a different department do the installation, but that department is full of people unaware of the Magical World. Zeke and Zed are the only ones aware of the Magical World capable of setting up the Gibraltar system in a Dark Zone like this one."

"Harry," called Zeke. "Can you give us a hand here?!"

"Is the power on?!"

"Right, forgot! Sorry!"

"What do you need help with?!"

"Need someone with small hands to hold the camera in place so I can fix it to the wall!"

"I can do that," said Parvati.

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I kinda tagged along with nothing to do anyway. Might as well help however I can."

"Zeke! My friend Parvati is going to come help!"

"Appreciated!" Harry opened the door for her, and she made her way to the two men. Harry closed the door and Padma turned to him.

"Can you teach me how to use Schematic?"

"Sure. Let's start with something simple so you can ease up to more advanced blueprints." Harry went to the computer and pulled up the company's R&D private server. He selected a basic flashlight design and showed it to her. He watched as her eyes took on the circuit lines and she looked at the schematic in front of her.

"This is going to take some getting used to…"

"Yes it will. But unlike with me, you have someone to help you." He gripped her hand lightly and moved it. She smiled as she saw the blueprint move before her eyes before she noticed something.

"It's saying that the power source should be changed out for something more efficient."

"What else?"

"I can see different additions that can be added to it." She waved her hand and turned the schematic around as she mentally put the right pieces together. "Strobe? UV?" Harry grinned and pulled out a flash light from under one of the seats.

"This is the second device I modified after Izzy found me. It's a flashlight. Though I remember people on this side of the pond call it a torch." He flicked on the normal light. "This is the normal setting. The strobe," he flicked to the second setting. "Is this. This was supposed to be used in conjunction with a modified radio with a loud siren to disorient someone's vision and hearing at the same time. The final setting," he switched to UV and Padma had to cover her eyes from the brightness. "Is UV. The brightness is equivalent to the Sun. I added that just because I thought it'd be cool."

"It'd help against vampires, at least."

"Well, fresh vampires, anyway. Izzy told me when she first met me that the older a vampire gets the less blood they need to feed and the more they can be out in sunlight. Her father was apparently the first." Padma turned to him.

"Um… where is her father from?"

"I don't know. Never really asked. Why?"

"…Because the first vampire I remember reading about is…"

"Hey Kid," said Isabel over the radio.

"Go ahead," replied Harry.

"Generator's up and running, console is good to go and first cameras are up leading from the entrance to server room. You two can Charge here when you're done making out." Harry and Padma blushed He looked at the entrance and saw Parvati, Zed and Zeke were inside. An idea came to mind and he smiled.

"Parvati, are you standing next to Izzy right now?"

"Yeah," came the response from the radio. "Why?"

"When myself and my Mom aren't around and she says something like that, we'll pay you five gold coins to smack her upside the head for us."

"Five Galleons?! Deal!"

"Ow," shouted Isabel over the radio. "Harry! You little brat!" Harry took his finger off the button so he and Padma could laugh.

"We should get there," said Padma. "I think she's angry."

"She's more annoyed than angry now that someone other than me and Mom can do that. She's most likely going to try and smother me when we get there."

"Can't we just walk? She did say from the entrance to the server room. We could just walk, delay the inevitable for a little bit longer."

"Sounds like a good idea. And it'll get us familiar with the school grounds." He pressed the button. "We're going to walk."

"You sure that's a good idea," asked Zeke. "The wires and cameras are hidden, Little Man."

"I can pulse and find them, remember? That Trick Cole and I used for recharges back in Empire City?"

"Oh right! Man it's been so long since you needed to do that I forgot. Alright! Me and Zed will get started on the second set of cameras heading to the back of the school leading out to the lake."

"Sounds good. We'll be there in a few." Harry led Padma out of the car and to the entrance.

"What was that about Pulsing?"

"Oh right. It's a trick Cole developed in Empire City. We send out a small amount of energy around us and can detect electrical devices nearby. It's good when we run out of energy and need to recharge. Why don't you try it?" He looked at her and felt her pulse. He smiled slightly when her nose scrunched up when she did. She noticed and looked at him.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me, Harry."

"It's nothing. Just…"

"What?" He chuckled slightly.

"Your nose scrunched up slightly when you pulsed. It was cute." Padma blushed and looked away, smiling.

"Thanks." They stood there in silence for a bit before Harry spoke up.

"Um… we should get moving."

"R-right." They started walking in comfortable silence. In the server room, Isabel watched her protégé and his friend as they walked. She saw him move his hand briefly, as if to take hold of hers but stopped himself. She grinned.

"Cindy really drilled how to be a lady killer in your head, huh Kid?" Parvati looked at the computer and saw them.

"No fair," she said. "School hasn't even started, and she already has a boyfriend?"

"I wouldn't go that far, yet. But I'd say in a few months, maybe a year, they will start dating."

"Still not fair. And with Harry, too."

"You wanted him to yourself, didn't you?"

"Well, if only to piss off that Sakura girl."

"Oh, you met Sakura, huh? Yeah, she can be a bit protective over her 'Onii-Chan'."

"What does that even mean?"

"It's a cutesy way of saying 'Big Brother' in Japanese. It's typically used in anime for when the Imouto or 'Little Sister' character is in love with the brother. Adoptive or cousin, of course. Oh, and older best friend that acts like an older brother, like Harry."

"She's in love with him?"

"I see it more as a crush, right now. They've known each other for a few years. She met him the day I found him, technically. Clung to him from the start."

"Explains why she reacted to me sitting in his lap like that."

"You sat in his lap?"

"I was using that thing in your car. What was it called? Computer?"

"Ah, and let me guess, rather than calling his cell, she skyped him and saw you."

"Harry said I could do the skype thing with my phone?"

"Yeah, but only with a Wi-fi signal to transmit it. Lucky for you, I'll be installing several modems and routers on the grounds so the school can stay in contact with the outside world and news can travel faster for anyone familiar with modern technology. Owls still deliver mail for those with families without tech and can still be used if they decide to modernize. We have the same system over in Ilvermorny. At least we did when I was teaching there."

"You were a teacher?"

"Once upon a time. History, Magical and Mundane."

"Are you going to teach here?"

"Depends on Dumbledore. I have no idea what he'll ask me to do to validate my presence other than equipment monitoring and maintenance. Besides, Hogwarts already has a Magical History teacher."

"You mean Binns? My parents said he's a boring ghost who talks about nothing but the Goblin Wars. He's horrible."

"What the hell? Why are they using a ghost to teach history? That's stupid. I'll need to speak with Dumbledore soon about this." She set up another monitor and glanced at the one Harry and Padma were in with a smile. Harry and Padma walked in, talking about his fights against the First Sons.

"Then Cole Charges behind them and while they're taking cover from my sniper shots, Cole lobs some Shock Grenades knocking some out and sends one of the armored guys my way. He's got to be about twice my size."

"What happened next?"

"Pulled out my Tesla Staff and swung at his head knocking his helmet off before I sent a few thousand volts into his head."

"Did you kill him?"

"Just stunned him long enough for Cole to restrain him. I don't shoot out enough volts to stop a heart. Not without a proper amplifier. And my staff doesn't count. It's just a conductor."

"What counts as an amplifier?"

"Generators," said Isabel. "Lightning storms. Cole. That's about it." Harry nodded.

"You were in a fight," asked McGonagall who had been watching over the installations while Dumbledore was going over the Hogwarts acceptance letter responses in his office.

"I've been in a few. When Isabel saved me from my horrible relatives, it wasn't long before I found myself having to help my, then future uncle, clear his name and fight a terrorist organization known as the First Sons. It's how I learned about most of my magic." Holly blinked into existence.

"It's also when he realized he couldn't look everywhere at once and needed a second pair of eyes and an assistant to help operate his inventions," said Holly. McGonagall jumped slightly when the A.I. appeared. "My apologies for startling you. There is no way for me to avoid that."

"You could always, not appear," said Parvati.

"But then people would be speaking to thin air and look like an idiot."

"Considering most people are idiots in general," said Harry. "I think it'd be appropriate." The twins giggled as McGonagall gave him a disapproving look.

"Must you insult others, Mr. Potter?"

"MacGrath," corrected Harry. "I haven't been Harry Potter for three years. I do not want to have a name associated with accomplishments I did not achieve. Voldemort was defeated by my birth mother using a runic ritual that required her self sacrifice to power it. Everything in those damned children's books are nothing but lies using my former name to make a profit without my permission. I'd much rather be known for the stuff I've invented and my intelligence rather than a crock of lies revolving around a major misconception." Harry sparked his hands with electricity for emphasis. Isabel sighed and turned to McGonagall.

"You'll have to excuse him," she said. "Ever since he learned how his name had been used without his permission and how his mother never got any credit for beating Voldemort…" Both Isabel and Harry ignored the involuntary flinch from the witches in the room. "…He's been adamant to try and get those stories disposed of and to make sure his birth mother got the recognition she deserved that the Wizarding World has denied her. He was quick to drop the name Harry Potter only because of the books and how they make him out to be a grand fantasy hero, despite being a child in most of them."

"The fact that people, not just kids, but adults as well," said Harry. "Actually think they're fact is just plain stupid." His hands sparked some more as his anger flared. "I mean really! Taking on a hydra at 4?! Are they really that stupid?!"

"Easy there, Kid. You'll fry the system."

"Sorry." Harry sighed and calmed down. "People are idiots and it bothers me like nothing else." Harry adjusted his cufflinks out of habit and popped his neck, a habit he adopted from Cole. "I'm calm now."

"That's bad for your neck," said Padma.

"What is?"

"Popping it."

"I don't…"

"You just did," said Isabel. "Like Cole. Jesus, it's like you're actually related by blood with how much you're like him and your mom."

"How's he like Ms. MacGrath," asked Parvati.

"Constantly changing outfits for different occasions," said Holly. "Messing with articles of clothing. Cindy adjusts her glasses while Harry does the same with his cufflinks and, occasionally, his tie or watch." Harry was adjusting his cufflinks again as she spoke and instantly stopped when all eyes turned to him.

"Shut up," he said. Padma covered her mouth as she giggled, trying to stifle the sound. "Can we get back to work, please?"

"Alright. Zed and Zeke are setting up the generators right now we should have the first three floors done by the end of the day with your help as soon as they're up."

"Could be faster if I can speed run Padma through it."

"Maybe it's not a good idea to rush teaching her things, Kid. She's still new to technology."

"I sort of forgot about that, given her Technomancy."

"Baby steps, Kid. Same goes for any Technomancers you come across during the school year. We don't want to overload them with information."

"I know."

"I can handle it," said Padma confidently. "I'm a fast learner."

"I don't know…"

"Harry. Teach me, please." Harry looked her in the eye and smiled.

"Alright. First, let's get started with getting familiar with setting up cameras and making sure the connections between them and the main console is secure."

"While you two are doing that, and the Z's are setting up the generators," said Isabel. "I'll draw cooling runes into the walls and ceiling."

"Why do you need cooling runes," asked McGonagall.

"Because the Gibraltar System's CPU and monitors give off a lot of heat and can malfunction if not kept at a regular temperature. So without proper ventilation, or an air conditioning unit, cooling charms are the magical substitution."

Over the next few hours, with Harry coaching Padma and their combined effort, majority of the school was now fitted with electrical generators and cameras. Harry was with Zeke looking for an area stick a generator for a section of the seventh floor. "You feelin' ok, Little Man?"

"Yeah. With majority of the school lined with electricity, it's not as painful to be here." Harry stopped and looked at a section of wall that was completely blank. "Hey, Zeke. Does something seem odd here to you?" Zeke looked at the wall then looked around.

"Yeah. This wall is blank. Every place we've been in this place has had those creepy moving paintings everywhere. No offense, fellas," he said to a pair of wizard paintings who waved his comment away. "But there's nothing here. Think it's a style thing?"

"No. If it were a style choice, we'd see more blank spaces everywhere."

"Maybe it's a hidden passage."

"On the seventh floor?"

"You never know, man. Magic can do weird shit, remember."

"Point. Mom's still surprised with what's being discovered about magic." He pat the wall and felt Schematic activate. "Whoa. What the…"

"What's going on?"

"Schematic just activated randomly when I touched the wall." Harry looked at it and saw a magical configuration. "Get Izzy up here. I can't tell what I'm seeing, but it looks like a runic array."

"That's those weird symbols she has in her car right?"

"Yes, it is. Now please get her." Zeke pulled out his radio.

"Hey, Boss."

"Go ahead," she responded, the twins arguing about something in the background.

"Harry found something he wants you to see. Come up to the southern corridor on the seventh floor."

"On our way." A few minutes later, everyone, sans Filch and Snape, was on the seventh floor. "Alright. What's up?" Dumbledore idly noticed the wall Harry was staring at and looked at the boy.

"There's a runic array in this wall. It's not carved. It's like magic itself was infused into the shape of a rune in the stone itself."

"That's old runic drawing. It was used before carving and drawing became popular, but they usually wear off after a short amount of time without a proper magical power source to draw from."

"Isn't Hogwarts on top of a Ley Line Network?"

"Actually, yeah. I guess that would support it properly. Can you draw the design?"

"Need a pen and paper."

"Just use Holly," said Zed. "You can manipulate her hard light form to form shapes, you know."

"Be gentle," said Holly as Harry started shifting the projection. When he was finished, Isabel looked at the runes.

"Dream. Reality?"

"What does that mean," asked Zed.

"I don't know. I've never seen this combination before. Let alone a reality rune outside of illusion magic."

"You've just found the location of what the house elves call the Come and Go Room," said Dumbledore. "Though those who've figured out it's secrets have called it the Room of Requirement."

"Oh come on," said Zeke. "Something as cool as that needs a better name than what you told us. Why don't we call it the Reality Room."

"Seems a bit on the nose," said Isabel.

"Notice-Me-Not," said Zed, Zeke and Harry at the same time. Isabel stopped short when she couldn't think of a retort.

"Point," she muttered.

"You seem to know how this works," said Harry to Dumbledore. "Can you give me a crash course?"

"I'm afraid I've only used it once or twice in my past. I can't recall how to access the door. Though I have an idea. Polly?" Harry watched as an aged house elf appeared with a pop.

"How can Polly help you, Headmaster," asked the house elf.

"Do you know how to access the Come and Go Room?"

"Simple." Polly walked back and forth in front of the wall three times. "Simply pace in front of the room three times while thinking of what it is you need." Polly turned to the door as it appeared. "I've gained access to the room of lost items."

"Lost and Found," said Zeke and Harry. Isabel opened the door and stopped short.

"That is a lot of junk," she said. Harry looked passed her and whistled at the mountains of junk.

"You're not kidding. It puts Zed's pile of rejects to shame."

"I resent that," said Zed. Harry walked in and started looking around. He flinched and massaged his forehead, right where his scar is.

"What the hell?..."

"What's up, Kid?"

"My scar. It just started burning out of nowhere. And it feels like something is pulling me in a certain direction."

"Harry," said Dumbledore. "I wouldn't suggest following…" Harry ignored him and continued walking, following the pull and relying on the burning feeling to guide him. Padma hurried next to him with Parvati right behind them. The adults followed after them, some (read Zed) more reluctant than others. Harry stopped when he found a small clearing and looked around as the burning felt stronger.

"It's like a plasma torch, the burning is that bad."

"Maybe that's our cue to leave," said Zed. McGonagall looked around and saw something she remembered in one of the paintings of the Founders.

"My word. That's Ravenclaw's diadem." Harry looked at it and felt the burning get even worse.

"Ah! Fucking shit!"

"Language Mr. Potter. My apologies, Mr. MacGrath."

"What's up, Kid," asked Isabel. Dumbledore looked at Harry and paled as he thought about what is happening. 'It must be true then. Tom created Horcruxes and one is inside Harry's scar!' Harry gripped his head as a voice entered his mind.

"Such promise. Such potential in you. It's no wonder you defeated me as a child, Harry Potter."

"I didn't do shit! Get out of my head!" Harry's hands sparked with electricity.

"Join my power with yours, Harry. And we shall bring the Wizarding World together! We will bring about the modern age you've longed for, for so long!"

"Arc," said Harry. He sent the wires to his scar, feeling the burning coming getting worse as he spoke with the voice in his head.

"Harry," shouted the twins and Isabel.

"I said…" Harry sent thousands of volts into his scar. "Get out of my fucking head!" Dumbledore watched as a black smoke emitted from the boys scar and a black liquid oozed out. Harry pulled out the wires and sent them to the diadem. An unearthly scream filled the room as Harry sent torrents of electricity into the Founders artifact. The same smoke and liquid came from the diadem. Everyone watched as the face of Voldemort screamed at them. "Burn in hell, bastard!" He sent one last volt into the diadem and watched as the smoke billowed into a single cloud and flew at the group.

"Dodge," screamed Isabel as she pushed the twins to the ground. Zeke and Zed took cover behind some pillars of items. McGonagall ducked to the ground. Harry and Dumbledore stood their ground. Holly changed into a shield and blocked Harry from the cloud as Dumbledore conjured Fiend Fire and sent it at the cloud. It screamed again and was burnt up. Dumbledore stopped the spell before it could spread to the rest of the room.

"What the fuck was that," shouted Isabel and Harry.

"I believe," said Dumbledore. "That was a piece of Voldemort's soul. Created into a dark object known as a Horcrux."

"So I was right. He did something to his soul," said Isabel.

"I'm afraid this means he has."

"What else aren't you telling us," asked Harry as he wiped the liquid from his forehead. "Why the hell was that… thing in my scar?!"

"He probably made a few," said Isabel. "Whatever he did to split his soul probably halved it each time and it kept getting weaker with each split. Then whatever ritual your mom used to save you probably sheared a piece of his soul apart and lodged it into your scar."

"Then why wasn't I possessed by it?"

"Could be a number of reasons. Either it wasn't a full soul piece and wasn't strong enough to possess you…"

"Or Lily's ritual protected you from the fragment," said Dumbledore. "And it's proximity to a stronger fragment probably gave it strength." He went to the diadem and grabbed it off the bust it was sitting on. "There is still a trace of dark magic emanating from the diadem. It seems Tom placed a curse on this artifact."

"Tom," asked Harry. "Voldemort's real name is Tom? I can't decide whether to laugh or cringe."

"What about passing out," asked Zed as he slid against the tower of junk he was hiding behind. "I'm gonna do that."

"Man," said Zeke. "Cole's gonna flip when he learns what you just did, Little Man."

"What did you do," asked Parvati.

"Exorcism," said Harry. "I came across a theoretical paper on the subject while Web surfing the Ilvermorny servers for anything other Technomancers may have listed. Technically souls are energy and my magic is 25% energy based. I just tried whatever I could to stop the burning and sending my electricity seemed like a good idea in case Voldemort was somehow sending his mind into my own."

"You just did it on a whim," asked Isabel. Harry nodded.

"Are you crazy," shouted Padma and Isabel.

"Only slightly. I may be more damaged from Vernon than I thought." Harry looked to his left and gawked. "No way…" Isabel looked at what drew his attention.

"Are those katana?"

"Dibs."

"Hold on. Who said you're getting those?!"

"I just ejected a soul fragment of the man who killed my parents from my scar. I think I deserve some compensation."

"Cindy will kill me if I let you take those."

"You're problem, not mine. Now, how do I get you out?..." Harry stumbled as he felt himself get lightheaded. "Oh, now the lack of power kicks in…" Isabel caught Harry as he dropped, passing out after using as much power as he did.

"Jeez, you forgot about the lack of electricity, didn't you, Kid?" She sighed. "Zed, finger."

"Oh, come on!"

"I need a strength boost, you're O+. Move it." Zed groaned and held out his hand to her. She pricked his finger with a knife and scrapped the blood onto the blade before dropping it into her mouth. She picked Harry up and draped him over her shoulder before looking at the case holding the swords. She sighed and shrunk it before placing it in her pocket. She turned to Dumbledore. "You will tell us everything you know about Voldemort, Tom. Whatever the hell his name is. You won't leave anything out, you hear me? We need your full cooperation."

"Of course," said Dumbledore, knowing that it would be better to have them as an ally against Tom rather than an obstacle. "When Harry comes to, I feel your entire family should be aware of what I know."

"Us to," said Parvati. "Harry's our friend and we aren't about to let him face V-Voldemort alone."

"Ms. Patil," said McGonagall. "You're only children. Harry shouldn't even be facing this."

"There's something worse he must face in the future, Minerva," said Dumbledore. "That is for Harry to say when he awakes. First, we must let him rest."

"I'll take him to my car. None of the dorms have generators yet. From there, I'll get ahold of Cole and Cindy and have them Charge here."

"Do you mind if I have Cole Charge me home," asked Zed. "I don't want to risk coming across another freaky magical ghost."

"Did someone say ghost," asked a ghost behind him. Zed freaked out and hid behind Zeke.

"Dude," said Zeke. "Really?"

"Hello Peeves," said Minerva, annoyed.

"Hello Minnie. Ooh! Ickle students before the year starts?! It's not my Death Day!"

"Everyone," said Dumbledore. "This is Peeves. Hogwarts resident poltergeist."

"A poltergeist," asked Zeke. "Aren't those dangerous to have around children?"

"Only if their made from negative energy like anger," said Isabel.

"Peeves was made from mischievous emotions and has been known to prank students frequently," said McGonagall.

"How are you so calm," shouted Zed at Zeke.

"Because this shit is cool, man!"

"Mr. Dunbar," scolded McGonagall. "There are children present. Please refrain from such language."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard ya the first three times." Isabel sighed and carried Harry out of the Lost and Found Room, Padma and Parvati right behind her. Dumbledore looked at the diadem as Zeke and Zed left directly behind McGonagall, Peeves following them to mess with Zed.

'Remarkable, Harry. Truly remarkable. You may survive against Tom yet. I just hope that whatever is coming, you will be prepared to face it.' Dumbledore shook his head as his memory drifted to the ominous red lights and the deafening sound that accompanied it from the memory Harry shared with him. He gripped the diadem tightly and walked out of the room, letting the door close behind him.


(Author's Notes)

And another chapter done. If you're reading this and Revival of Soul Magic, I'm sorry but there's not going to be an update for Soul Magic this week. For right now, I'm going to be focusing on this story primarily. Soul Magic will be under a brief hiatus as I'm having more fun writing for Technomancy than Soul Magic, mainly because of the concept. Don't worry though. I won't give up on Soul Magic, I'm just going to wait to upload some chapters for a month or two. Also, please check out my other InFAMOUS crossover story, Kill The Conduit, the second chapter will be uploaded at the same time as this. Hope this chapter was to your liking, with the rate I've been writing for Technomancy, expect more than just one update a week, (hopefully). Until next time Y'all!
