A/N: The twelfth chapter of my HP/ST:TNG crossover-fic.

12. The plot thickens
"There's one thing I still don't get, Harry," said Ron. He, Harry, Lynn and Hermione was in Ten Forward. "Why all the Japanese stuff?"
"You mean the katana?" said Harry.
"Yeah. And Troi told me about a battle suit you wore some time," said Ron.
"Ever heard of a ronin?" said Harry.
"No. What is it?" said Ron.
"A samurai, a Japanese soldier, without a master," said Harry. "They travelled round the land, alone, not controlled by anyone. I guess I identified with that. Being alone." (A/N: Plus I think katanas and samurais are cool ^_^)
"Plus you were angry," said Lynn. "And then it helped to have the sword to take out your anger."
"Yes," said Harry. "And it helped me relax. I began mediating, training my senses."
"Sounds strange..." said Ron. They were quiet for a few seconds. "Hey, Harry?"
"Yeah, Ron?" said Harry.
"Does it help in Quidditch too?" said Ron. Harry, Hermione and Lynn began laughing heartily. "What? I'm serious!" The others laughed even harder. "Oh come on, it can't be that funny!" Lynn suddenly stopped laughing.
"Harry, Hermione, I just came to think of something," she said. Harry and Hermione stopped laughing. "What if Harry's training and meditation actually can help him defeat Voldemort and survive?"
"You heard them," said Harry. "I die when defeating him."
"Is this timeline, yes," said Lynn. "But if your circumstances change, then you just might survive." Everyone became silent.
"It's worth a shot, Harry," said Hermione.
"Yeah, Har," said Ron. "I don't know all that much about time travel and such, but if you have more of the odds in your favour, then you just might make it."
"I'll have to think about it..." said Harry.
"Well don't think too long," said Hermione. "We've got about 20 hours till the Kurosawa gets here..."
The 23 hours had almost passed. As far as Captain Picard knew Harry was still angry about having to go back, only to meet death. But right now Picard had other things on his mind.
"Sir, I am detecting a ship on long range sensors," said Worf. "It is on an intercept course travelling in high warp. They are hailing us."
"On screen, Mr Worf," said Picard. A man whom Picard didn't recognise appeared on the screen. He looked to be in his late thirties, and had brown hair and a moustache.
"Captain Picard," said the man on the screen. "I'm Captain Reno of the starship Kurosawa."
"Pleased to meet you, Captain," said Picard. "We have been told that you have a someone with you to help us with our guests."
"Yes, that's right," said Reno. "Is it all right for me and him to beam aboard as soon as we've met up with you?"
"Certainly," said Picard.
"Good," said Reno. "We'll be there in about ten minutes. Looking forward to meeting you, Captain. Reno out." The transmission ended.
Fifteen minutes later Harry, Lynn, Ron and Hermione were called to the observation lounge.
"I wonder who arrived on the Kurosawa?" said Lynn.
"More importantly, why the Kurosawa, a heavy cruiser?" said Hermione.
"How do you know that its a heavy cruiser?" said Lynn.
"I checked it up, the Kurosawa is an Akira class starship," said Hermione. "Which is a heavy cruiser. Bit strange to use for a escort mission..."
"Well, they probably had their reasons..." said Lynn. Now they had reached the observation lounge and entered. Picard was standing up, talking to two men, one of which the could see the face of. This man seemed to be a Captain, judging from his uniform and rank pips.
"Ah, there you are," said Picard, upon seeing the teenagers. "I'd like you to meet Captain Reno." Reno nodded towards them. "And..." The other person turned around towards them. He was long, had brown hair and green eyes. "..Commander Walsh." Lynn's jaw dropped upon seeing the Commander. "This is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Lynn Walsh." Everyone nodded in order towards the Captains and the Commander, except Lynn.
"Lynn, what is it?" said Hermione, noticing Lynn's expression.
"He looks just like my oldest brother..." said Lynn, looking at the Commander. "...Michael Walsh..."
A/N: Okay, I was originally going to have the chapter end her, but I changed my mind... Thought it was to short and to cruel to you readers to stop there : )
"I'm not surprised," said Commander Walsh, breaking the silence which had lasted a few seconds. "Since I'm a direct descendant from him, your brother, it's no direct surprise that I resemble him. In fact, my name is also Michael. Well, my middle name. My given name is Ethan."
"A wizard in Starfleet," said Harry. "Never thought I'd see that."
"There are quite a few of us," said Walsh, smiling.
"That's why Ethan was sent to help you," said Reno. "And the reason I was sent."
"Why?" said Hermione.
"Captain Reno has just informed me that the wizarding culture is still very much alive," said Picard. "Admiral Wood, who contacted us, is also a wizard."
"Wood?" said Ron. "Did you say his name was Wood?"
"Yes," said Picard.
"He's a descendant from Oliver Wood, whom I believe you went to school with?" said Reno.
"Yeah, he was the Quidditch captain for Gryffindor," said Ron.
"Apparently, your whereabouts on the Enterprise is top secret," said Picard. "Only known to the wizarding parts of Starfleet."
"And not that many of those either," said Walsh.
"So, that's why you sent a heavy cruiser," said Hermione. "Because Captain Reno is a wizard."
"Actually, I'm only part wizard," said Reno. "But yes, you're right. I was sent because my family and the Wood family have been friends for generations."
"And because I'm the first officer on the Kurosawa," said Walsh. "I've done some research about time-apparations. Hence, I am the best chance you have of getting home."
"So, we're not gonna be here for long then, huh?" said Ron.
"If all goes well," said Picard.
"I'm afraid there's more to it." said Reno. "There's a chance that the Death Eaters have heard of you being here. They will do all to try and kill you."
"They still exist?" said Harry.
"Yes," said Walsh.
"Who are these 'Death Eaters'?" said Picard.
"Followers of Voldemort," said Harry. "I thought they'd be gone by now."
"No," said Reno. "They still exist. The only persons besides Voldemort who knew about the Death Eaters identities died before being able to tell anyone."
"Me, right?" said Harry.
"Yes," said Reno.
"And to make matters worse, they probably have starships," said Walsh. "And we suspect that they have a source inside our network. As soon as they hear about where the Enterprise is, they'll head towards us at maximum warp."
"Yet another reason for using the Kurosawa for the escort," said Hermione.
"Yes, it's defensive capabilities even our odds," said Reno. "Anything else you wanted to ask?" No one said anything. "Good, let's get started then. Perhaps it would be best if you went back to your quarters now." He said this to the teenagers. They left the room. "Captain Picard, could you have someone assist Walsh?"
"Of course," said Picard, and tapped his com-badge. "Picard to Data."
"Data here, sir," answered Data's voice.
"Could you join us in the observation lounge?" said Picard.
"Yes, sir, on my way," said Data. "Data out."
"Data? The android?" said Walsh. "I've heard of him."
"One of my finest officers," said Picard. Now Data entered the room. "Ah, Data, I'd like you to meet Captain Reno and Commander Walsh."
"Pleased to meet you," said Data.
"Commander Walsh needs someone to assist him with his work," said Picard. "I'm assigning you to the job. You start immediately."
"Understood," said Data. "Commander, if you'd come this way." Data and Walsh left the room.
"Were would you prefer to work, Commander?" said Data. "In engineering, or in one of our laboratories?"
"Engineering, we need to have access tot he ships power supply," said Walsh. "And call me Ethan."
"As you wish, Ethan," said Data. They entered a turbolift. "Engineering."
"I got to tell you, when I heard we where going to the Enterprise, I was hoping to get to work with you," said Walsh, and smiled.
"Why is that?" said Data.
"Partly because I'm interested in cybernetics," said Walsh. "And partly it's a childhood fantasy. Having a android for a friend." Walsh chuckled. "Bit silly, really."
"Perhaps not," said Data. "I have discovered that humans are very controlled by their childhood hopes and fantasies."
"You're absolutely right, Data," said Walsh.
Wesley and Lynn were in Lynn's and Hermione's quarters. It was late at night. Hermione wasn't there, but with Ron. Wesley and Lynn lay in Lynn's bed, naked, having just a while ago made love (A/N: Like you didn't see it coming...).
"So, you're going back...?" said Wesley, breaking the silence.
"Yes..." said Lynn. She tapped with her fingers upon Wesley's chest. "I guess I have to... It doesn't work unless all of us go..." Wesley sighed heavily.
"I don't want you to go..." he said.
"I don't want me to go, either, but I just can't stay..." said Lynn. She tapped harder with her fingers.
"Ouch! Not so hard!" said Wesley.
"Sorry..." said Lynn. She stopped tapping. "How much does your mom know... about us I mean?" Wesley chuckled.
"Well, if she knew this she certainly would come running in here!" he said, smiling. Lynn smiled too. "She knows that we're a couple...and that I like you...very much..." They looked into each others eyes. "God, you are just so beautiful..."
"Well, you're not that bad yourself," said Lynn, smiling. "So your just not saying that I'm beautiful because I'm naked...?"
"Well, it helps," said Wesley. Lynn gave him a angry look. "I'm kidding! You're just as beautiful even with your clothes on." He sighed again. "At least, when you go back, we won't remember any of this... When the timelines get aligned again..." Lynn looked away from his face.
"Yeah..." she said, laying her head upon his chest. They were quiet for about a minute or so.
"What's the time?" said Wesley. Lynn looked at her watch, which lay upon her bedside table.
"It's 23.57," she said.
"Damn... I don't want to get up, but I have to get back to my quarters..." said Wesley. "Have my duties to attend to tomorrow..."
"Okay," said Lynn. "I understand." Wesley got up from the bed. He put his clothes on. "See you tomorrow then."
"Try in stop me," said Wesley, smiling. He left the room. Lynn got up and put on her dark red dressing gown. She put on her communicator and tapped it.
"Lynn to Hermione," she said. She first only heard a groan as a response.
"Hermione here," said Hermione, sounding a bit irritated. "What is it, Lynn?"
"I need to talk to you," said Lynn.
"Can't you wait?" said Ron's voice, him also sounding irritated.
"Yes, I can, but you two have sex at least three times a week, so I'm sure you can skip it for once," said Lynn.
"Wha- How do you...? As a matter of fact- OUCH!" said Ron.
"Ron, shut up!" said Hermione. "Be right there, Lynn. Hermione out."
"What is this, national sex night....?" said Lynn to herself.
Hermione entered Lynn's room. She didn't quite have here clothes on properly, and her hair was bushier than normal.
"Unbalanced?" said Lynn, smiling.
"Huh?" said Hermione. Lynn pointed towards her chest. Hermione looked down. She saw that her right breast wasn't in her bra, but had fallen out. All of this was beneath her clothes though, but it was still clearly visible. "God!" Hermione reached into her shirt with her left hand, and re- positioned herself. "No wonder everyone looked at me strangely..." Lynn laughed.
"Didn't know you two went that wild at it," she said, teasingly.
"Shut up..." said Hermione. "So, why did you call me?"
"Well... Wesley and I were... um..." said Lynn.
"Having sex?" said Hermione.
"No! Making love!" said Lynn.
"Same thing..." said Hermione. "Anyway, please continue."
"After we talked a bit," said Lynn. "He took up the subject of us forgetting all this when we get back."
"Yes..." said Hermione. "...And?"
"It's just..." said Lynn. "If I remember my Star Trek correctly, that's not what happens..."
"What do you mean 'that's not what happens'?" said Hermione. Lynn sighed.
"We will remember everything, but the people here won't," she said.
"So that means..." said Hermione.
"That means that I will remember Wesley and everything about him..." said Lynn. "...but he won't..." A single tear ran down Lynn's cheek.
"Oh, Lynn..." said Hermione. She hugged Lynn to comfort her. "I'm so sorry..."
"It's not fair...!" said Lynn, crying. "I finally find someone and he's... he's...! God, it's just not fair!"
"I can't give all that much advise I'm afraid..." said Hermione. "Except to make the most of the time you have."
"Yeah, well, I guess you're right..." said Lynn.
A/N: Okay, got some more plot info in this chapter. Okay, how many of you guessed the part about the wizards last chapter when I introduced Admiral Wood?
Commander Ethan Walsh is based upon me, since he is a descendant of Michael Walsh, who is based upon me. But now I've starting to think that Ethan is the one most like myself. I've developed him into quite a character, as you'll see in following chapters. I even bought a red DS9/Voyager shirt when I was at a Sci-Fi convention last weekend, so that I can act as the character at Trekker meetings ^_^ (No hiding that I'm a Trekker, huh?). I also bought a yellow TNG shirt so that I can be Data. Or maybe O'Brien, since he's really cool too.
Captain Reno is named after the ultracool actor Jean Reno. Is saw Leon for the first time the other week and LOVED IT! Reno was great as always, but the young Natalie Portman was OUTSTANDING!
Okay, enough of my movie-rant. I've begun to write in a new plot in the story that could either elevate it further, or kill it (please, let it be the first one...). It'll take some of the following chapters, and then: Space battles!
About the "sex-thing"... I thought that I could include it, since:
1. Come on, do you REALLY think they were doing such thing seventeen?
2. I already had an R-rating!
3. I could have an excuse for the whole "unbalanced"-gag.
4. It's necessary for the plot.
5. Now I can have some more fun things in the coming chapters...
6. It's necessary for the plot.

PS. I heard rumours about Christopher Lee replacing Harris as Dumbledore. I have now heard from several sources, including an official statement by Lee himself, that this is 100% UNTRUE. DS.
