Harry groaned as he downed the calming draught given to him by Madam Pomfrey. "I never want to get hit by that curse, ever again."

"Most people seldom do," said Madam Pomfrey. "How did you find yourself on the receiving end of that damn curse?"

"Terrorists in Singapore. Their leader wanted to make a point he wasn't like his lackeys and hit me with actual magic. Until now, they'd all been regular people who'd been given an artificial recreation of Technomancy."

"They recreated magic?"

"Technomancy, not magic as a whole. Technomancy is magic working with and controlling modern No-Maj technology. That's the only thing they've been able to recreate. Normal magic is safe."

"Well, that's good to here."

"For now, at least," said Holly as she blinked onto Harry's shoulder. "Technology is rapidly advancing and may soon surpass the magical communities ability to hide from the Mundane World's surveillance technology."

"How long before that happens," asked Draco from the doorway to the infirmary. Harry turned and saw him, Blaise, Neville, Daphne and Susan standing nearby.

"We don't know. But we think magic will be exposed long before that ever happens."

"You mean the Revelation Day thing, don't you," asked Susan. Harry nodded.

"The First Sons are expanding into different countries, now. Which means they might just expose magic, if they have more people like the leader me and Cole just fought. Holly is already trying to make sure any footage of the use of magic is deleted before any of it gets uploaded, but in today's modern world, that's damn near impossible even for an AI. There's always going to be some footage we can't get to, a phone we didn't see to try and wipe its files clean. We can't cover everything."

"So, what can we do," asked Blaise.

"Slowly, but surely, expose magic to the public," said Isabel over the intercoms. "If the First Sons are planning to reveal magic to the world, we need them to be prepared. I'll contact the Magical President soon, try and see if we can figure out a plan stateside and get the other countries to help as well. There's only three problems."

"Brazil," said Harry. "Romania…"

"And here," said Draco. "Those three countries have heavy Statute of Limitations enforcement, here especially because of men like my father who want to keep everything within their status quo."

"So, how do we do what Professor Daniels' is suggesting here," asked Lena over the camera intercoms.

"Are you there with her?"

"She's hijacking the system," said Isabel. "And she's not the only one."

"Everyone is tuned in," said Millicent over the intercom as well. "Luna patched us in to check on you."

"Padma and Parvati are in here with me," said Isabel. "Everyone else is listening in without people noticing. And the answer to the first question, is illegally. We'll need to help out with certain disasters using magic right under the Ministry's nose."

"That's insane," said Susan. "Auntie will never allow it."

"Actually, this was her plan," said Sirius over the intercom. "Yeah, me and Remus are in here with Isabel as well. This is her plan. There are already a few Aurors ready to help with the slow exposure of magic."

"Once Fudge learns of this," said Daphne. "There's going to be hell to pay."

"Which is why we're going to do this sparingly at first," said Cindy. "Then, over time as we get closer and closer to Revelation Day, we expose more people to magic, not just with us, but with the Technomancers as well. Which means, when the First Sons attack, you'll need to use more than just Technomancy. Your studies will need to be focused on a balance of tech and traditional magic."

"Not a problem," said Hermione over the intercom.

"And where are you talking from," asked Harry.

"Seventh floor corridor, Reality Room. Holly detected some strange data from these cameras a few days ago, and I've been trying to find what she couldn't."

"How's it going?"

"So far, nothing wrong. But I'm still a novice at this. It'd be better if I had some help."

"If Holly can't detect it," said Isabel. "It'll take us a long while before we can find anything."

"I think I may know what happened," said Harry. "The Voice. He must've created some kind of back door into the system without us knowing."

"But how," asked Blaise.

"Invisibility cloaks," said Draco. "Sneak in when someone enters or exits the castle, sneak out the same way."

"It's how I'd do it," said Pansy. "Especially with cameras without thermal imaging, like the Gibraltar."

"They have thermal imaging," said Isabel. "The Kid and I covered every base."

"Has it been active at any point," asked Blaise.

"I run a full spectrum scan every 3 minutes while in the Gibraltar," said Holly.

"So how could someone get to the server room without anyone noticing," asked Pansy.

"No one ever looks up," said Harry. He turned to the cameras out in the hall outside of the infirmary. There was a large enough gap for someone to crawl, or even fly through if they were an insect Animagus. "Son of a bitch. We forgot about Animagi when making the Gibraltar."

"Dammit," shouted Isabel. "There's always something! And, if they're proficient enough with technology, they could write a goddamn backdoor program. Bitch!" Harry cringed as he heard her smash something on her end. "Think they can fucking outsmart me?! Think again!" Harry heard a door slam and his mother sigh.

"Great. Now she's on a tangent."

"And a bad one," said Harry as he adjusted his cufflinks, finally remembering he had the Arc Gauntlets with him. "Dammit, I should've used these in Singapore."

"Language," said Cindy. "We'll check on her later. Now. Tell me what happened in Singapore." Harry cringed. "Cole was brief. But he didn't know what you were doing there in the first place."

"My idea," said Luna. "We were looking at an aftereffect of our magic when it's used with positive emotion. He'd seen yesterday what could happen with negative emotion in Brazil."

"We just happened to be there for one of the First Sons expansion missions," said Harry. "We, along with the local Technomancers were working to stop them and help the civilians injured by an accidental explosion that happened a few hours earlier."

"Luna and Harry did the fighting," said Su. "I was stuck with support."

"You haven't progressed far enough to be able to fight yet," said Luna. "Don't feel bad. There's only three of us able to fight at this time."

"Me, Harry and Luna," said Pansy. "The rest of you are still plebeians with a long way to go." She shrugged off the glares from the Technomancers within the room and stood by Harry. "Face the facts. We've been at this longer than you, Harry and Luna the longest. They've had more time to figure out this stuff. I've learned enough to defend myself. You're still learning the basics." She turned to Daphne. "Same with the Ice Queen and her Cryomancy. You're novices. We're the experts. Until we say so, you're not ready. Hell, I'd only be able to provide some support, same with Luna, though she seems to be more imaginative."

"That's for damn sure," said Cole as he walked into the room. Harry noticed he was holding a live feed camera. "This holds one of those assholes. I checked. How the hell did you trap him in here, kid?"

"Absorbed electrical energy compatible with the camera system from the other two cameras around it and this one."

"All while avoiding absorbing the man inside," said Isabel. "Brilliant…"

"That was fast," said Harry.

"Luna apparently had a calming draught waiting for me in the hall, courtesy of the twins." Luna grinned.

"Anyway, I came here to ask her if she could tell me how to get this guy out without risking him escaping or getting a recharge of his own."

"How is he trapped in there," asked Blaise. "Why can't he just Charge out?"

"No existing current," said Harry. "Our magic only allows us to interact with technology as long as it has a current of electrons running through them. Any 'dead' piece of tech means we can't interact or control it until it has a current. Guess that goes for inside as well as outside."

"Just make sure you let him out behind a proton field," said Luna as she uploaded the knowledge to Cole the same way she did in Singapore. Harry chuckled slightly.

"Wireless connection. Now we truly can do anything." As he spoke, a blueprint popped into his vision. "The hell…?"

"What's up, Raiden," asked Pansy.

"A blueprint just popped into my mind. It looks like a plane…" Pansy and Luna pressed fingers to his temples and downloaded the same thing Harry was seeing.

"F-18," asked Luna.

"No. Not the same layout. See? No rockets, also the wing design is different. It seems more… slimmed down, as well."

"No fuel tank either," said Pansy."

"Hey," said Draco. "Little help for those who don't know what the hell you three are talking about?" Harry blinked and Charged to the Server Room. He plugged Holly into the Gibraltar and uploaded the design to her memory before pressing the intercom button. "Everyone head to the Great Hall. We'll show you what I just saw."

"On our way," said Lena.

"We're bringing Susan Daphne and Tracey," said Blaise. "She was hiding behind the door to the infirmary."

"Gred Forge," said Harry. "Go first. I don't trust you two going after me."

"What is it he always says," asked Fred.

"'Oh ye of little faith'," replied George.

"I'm the son of a prankster. The Prankster if you were to ask Sirius and Remus who the mastermind of the infamous Panty Raid was."

"Wait…" said Fred. "That was a Marauder Prank, wasn't it?"

"Guilty," said Sirius with a grin.

"Holly," asked Isabel with a smirk. Holly played back a recording of Sirius admitting guilty to the raid. "Oh, just wait until Amelia hears this one."

"Dammit…"

"Holly," said Cindy. "Have you been recording every recording since school started?"

"Not while in the Gibraltar unless the term Marauder comes up. Harry's suggestion."

"We can't exactly spy on everyone's conversations, now can we," asked Harry as he adjusted his tie. "Getting evidence of Marauders pranks, well…"

"My own godson, turning against me," Sirius mock lamented. "What is the world coming to?!"

"Sanity," said Remus and Cindy as she adjusted her glasses.

"And with that," said Harry. He pushed the twins towards the monitors, accidentally forcing a Charge. Isabel blinked as she spotted their shocked expressions just before Charging.

"Uh… Kid…?"

"What's up?"

"Hey," shouted George over the intercom. "The hell was that?!"

"What?"

"I'm sure it was an accident, George," said Fred.

"What are you two talking about," asked Cindy.

"Harry forced them to Charge," said Isabel.

"I did what?"

"How could he do that," asked Remus.

"Accidental information overload," said Luna over the intercom. "It's not a rare occurrence. Technomancers have been mentioning in the forums that when things get a bit too stressful and they're learning things left and right that they have small bouts of accidental magic incidents. I think this weekend qualifies, especially with the Cruciatus."

"So," said Pansy. "Expect things to act up as the later years turn up."

"Maybe it would be smart not to take Seventh Year, if that's the case," said Lena. "Seventh year is bound to be the most stressful year, and if our magic acts up in times of intense stress…"

"Then Harry should take it easy," said Cindy. "He needs to rest for now."

"Mom. I…"

"Bed. Now."

"Listen to her, Harry," said Daphne over the intercom. "If you want to know how much stress can be caused by the Cruciatus curse, ask Neville. He's been affected by it his entire life, and he wasn't even hit by it."

"Listen to them, Harry," said Neville on the intercom. "Shortly after your family was attacked, mine was, though I'm sure you knew about it. Harry, my parents still haven't recovered, ten years later. The amount of stress that curse puts on you is… the amount you suffered is still enough to take an Auror off duty for a week, maybe two. You're a kid."

"I'm a Technomancer. Remember how our magic works. Unlike most mages, we have active and hyperactive healing. Curses like that don't…"

"Harry," said Isabel, drawing his attention. She only called him by his first name when she was serious. She pointed to his hand and when he brought it to his field of view, he saw it was shaking. "Take the rest. You need it. That and a regular regiment of relaxant potions. You're muscles need time to get back to normal, so does your mentality. This can't be how you plan to do things in the future. You'll break down before you can even face whatever is coming." She shot a taser at him and he absorbed its charge. The shaking didn't stop, only diminished slightly. "Hyperactive healing can't stop this alone." Harry sighed.

"Alright. I'll get some rest."

"Good." Harry Charged back to the Ravenclaw dorms and Isabel turned to Cindy. "Let's go see what your son made this time."

"Why is it you can get through to him when I can't?"

"Because I know how much logic it takes to get through to him. You need evidence to really convince him. He'd been ignoring the trembling for a few minutes. I've been hit by that curse before, mainly cause my father missed his target and hit me, but it was still enough to take me out of work for a bit. There really needs to be a trace active for that spell and the other two Unforgivables. America has them in place, France and Japan as well. It's not that hard to label them as Taboo, get Auror response teams to act accordingly."

"Think about who's in charge," said Draco. "Former men and women who served under Riddle, and cowards who'd rather stick their heads in the sand than stand up and fight."

"You know your father…" started Cindy.

"I've suspected. Friday, I started looking up ICW files on the war, my father was one of the leading suspects in a number of cases and got off on an Imperious charge. It's smart, but hard to defend without mental probing, which Heads of House cannot endure for the protection of family magics. And seeing that Riddle was a Half-Blood, shows my father is a bigger coward for following the man than for protecting his name after the war. All his talks about blood purity, and he follows a Half-Blood."

"At least you won't follow his example," said Millicent in the background. "Now, are we checking this design out?"

"We're on our way," said Isabel as she and Cindy made for the Great Hall.

Harry got to his room and sat on his bed curtains drawn around him to block him off from his dormmates as he started meditating. Almost instantly, visions filled his mind, Kessler fighting with Cole, standing before the members of the First Sons and finally, Kessler standing in front of him. "Hello Harry," said the vision. "Don't bother responding out loud. I'm in your brain. Our confrontation in person allowed me to Upload my gift to you for the future. I've given you several abilities I've mastered since discovering what I could do. You can either use these abilities yourself or give them to others. They're locked away in your mind, only to be unlocked after a specific amount of time or a specific event occurs, like you getting Crucioed by the Commander. It's amazing what coding can do to ones brain when you get the hang of it. For now, let's get you back into shape. No doubt, you've started trembling, this is because the Crucio is especially hazardous to us. It's lightning without electrons, and our body recognizes the pain, but can't absorb anything. But, there's a way to counteract it. I call it the Spell Converter.

"Essentially, you can use it to convert spells like the Crucio into electrons rather than Mana. The full extent of this magical ability will apply to all attacks, with time. For now, focus on Mana conversion. Now. Let's begin, Apprentice…"
