Hello everyone! I would first off like to apologize for the extreme tardiness of this chapter. As most of you who are reading this probably know, this is nearly a month late… to be honest I have absolutely zilch in the ways of excuses so I guess we will just have to hope I don't get this lazy again. I just hope its length makes up for it.

Second I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. The turn out for the last chapter was much better, I believe I got seven reviews for chapter nine! Thank you all very much!

A pre warning to all those reading this: The next chapter may take up to twenty days to get posted - the reason is that Finals are fast approaching and I find myself sitting at several grades I am less than happy with, so much of my time will be devoted to my studies (strange thought I know). But hopefully I can still manage to keep up with this and not get too behind.

And for this chapter… yes, I know it stinks. I have had a horrible lack of ability to write anything. I know it's a poor excuse for the crap I have been producing, but none the less I thought I should give some reason for its … badness…

Von: The Harry Potter section of this story is centered between Snape and Poppy Pomfrey, but the Stargate portion will have a good bunch of characters. I hope that doesn't upset you too much :)

Lady FoxFire: I can't tell you! Muahahhhahahahaah… the power of the author finally shows! Although you wouldn't guess it at times, I am actually in control! :)

Now with out further babble that no one wants to read anyway…

Part Ten of Smashing Realities and the likes:

Colonel Jack O'Neil of the United States Air Force was confused, an so being confused he was sarcastic and angry as well. The proceedings of the past five hours had his mind in a jumble and nothing short of a good fishing trip would unwind his noggin.

Daniel was unconscious, a coma from what Janet had said, but he was in better shape than the man they had brought back through the Stargate - he was still suffering from oxygen depravation and a fever had now set in.

As if things weren't complicated enough.

Fifteen minutes ago a short, plump woman in a strange blue and gray dress had appeared in the infirmary.

Literally.

She, the woman with silver hair and who had introduced herself as, "Poppy Pomfrey, darling, but you can call me Poppy," had from thin air materialized a few inches above Daniels cot, exclaimed, "Oh! Dear me!" in surprise and began to immediately look after the young anthropologist's alleged 'Professor'.

Of course that had lasted all of five seconds before the 'Big Guns' had busted through the double doors and by the order of the much perturbed General Hammond.

Jack sighed and wished once again to have stayed in bed this morning - sure it was a half empty bed, but anything was better than this fiasco.

And then the ten minute breath of silence he had been experiencing sitting in the ridiculously uncomfortable plastic infirmary chair was broken.

Janet burst through - her glove covered hands clasping a paper covered clipboard and her face wrought with disbelief. Jack was the only of the room's three other occupants to respond.

"What is it?" He didn't give a damn what happened to Sparky or what ever his name was, but from Daniel's track record, if that not said anything about him, it was bound to be bad news. He was itching to jump up from the dammed chair and run towards her, but years of Black Ops stopped him and kept him glued to the plastic seat.

"Severus Snape's blood culture," Janet replied and some part of Jack relaxed. At least it wasn't Daniel this time. Jack took this time to pull a "Teal'c" and quirked his eye brow upwards.

"His blood test," She clarified. He didn't feel the need to tell her that he already knew what a blood culture was. "The readings are off the walls!" Jack's eyebrow raised itself up again and the doctor gifted him with a glare. "His white blood count is extremely high for starters. It looks like at one time he was human."

At this time Jack's jaw dropped. Besides Teal'c, the occasional Selmac and a few others such as Seth, what other aliens were there? "Was human!" Now Jack really did jump from his chair.

"Relax Colonel, by your standards he is completely human, all I meant to say was that his veins have been coated with something that changed the composition of his blood giving him a higher immunity and quicker healing time. I hadn't given him anything after what Daniel told me -"

"What?" Jack O'Neil was a Colonel, and being a colonel he knew how to command and when it came to spunky doctors and silencing them he was an expert.

"Daniel said something to me about him being different, I didn't believe him but I took a blood sample anyway. It turns out he was right, if I had given that man any blood it probably would have killed him."

Oh, how Jack hated Mondays. For most working men and women Mondays were to be feared for reasons such as crabby bosses, stuck up companions and small cubicles, but for the SGC Mondays were feared for entirely different reasons - Aliens taking over the planet was just one of these Monday happenings. Another one would have to be your friend showing up late after a meeting with some old unknown professor of his and then 'Gating off to a planet halfway across the known Universe where he was then confronted with this same professor who went and got himself shot. As if that wasn't a bad enough Monday, this professor had strange blood that was different and possibly alien. Not to mention the random old woman.

Jack sat back down again. How many times have I retired now… maybe another mark on that sheet couldn't hurt. Dear god I'm was getting too old for this…

"Janet, how is Daniel?"

"Hmm?" She reluctantly tore her eyes off of the sheet and looked from him to Daniel's form beneath the sheets, "He is unconscious but I think he will be up before tomorrow. Not that I plan on having him wandering the halls," There was a reprimanding tone to her voice that was difficult to miss.

"Good…" God he was tiered… "I'm going to go find Hammond. Let me know if anything happens."

Out of the fire and into the frying pan.

It didn't take Jack long to find the General. He was standing outside of the bullet proof glass that held so many memories and staring through it with all his Texan charisma at Carter and that strange little old lady as they held a conversation.

"General." He greeted the man shortly. There was a large pause and for over a minute no one said anything. "So… what's going on?" Jack rocked back on his heals and stuck his hands in his pockets and tilted his head to the side. Strange days only got stranger, he decided.

"Major Carter is asking Mrs. Pomfrey a few questions," and Jack could almost hear the inner cross between a smile and a frown. Sensing the opportunity for a "Jack" moment he cracked a grin.

"Are you sure she's a 'Mrs.'?"

General Hammond glared.

The colonel cleared his throat and turned his attention to the window.

"I don't see what all the trouble is? You are Muggles, am I right? What am I thinking, of course you're Muggles, this is the United States, almost everyone here is a Muggle, that's why so many of you left for the colonies anyway." The woman fiddled with a loose strand of silver hair and then patted out an imaginary crease on her pristine dress. "All I want to do is see Severus, make sure he is alright. I've been quite worried about him you see."

Carter spoke up. She was sitting opposite of the old woman and in a relaxed position. "Are you and him… together then?" Carter… what do you think this is? Tea talk?

"Severus and I? Good heavens no!" She slapped her thigh and erupted into a bubbling fit of laughter. Jack quirked an eye brow. Yes, strange days defiantly only got stranger. "He and I are colleagues, old colleagues. I have known him since he was in school himself." She paused suddenly and a small frown appeared on her lips but she soon shook her head and smiled "Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm sure Severus will oblivaite you as soon as he wakes up anyhow."

Jack froze.

Why did that sound so off?

Oh, that was it. A strange little old woman was threatening to destroy Carter. Oh.

"Obliviate?" Good Carter, you never were one to forget the quest for information were you.

"Yes, it's a process we use to wipe Muggles' memories. Its quite effective. We have had our share of scares, especially all that witch hunting nonsense, but nothing rightly major has escaped." The woman gave the major an odd smile and continued. "You are quite the curious one aren't you child? But that's not why you are here, questioning me, is it?"

Sam gave the woman a smile in return, "No, I need to know why you came here and how."

She gave a small, "Humph!" and shrugged, "If that is all you want to know I am more than happy to tell you."

Jack's jaw dropped for the second time in the last ten minutes.

"Prepare yourself, this will make absolutely no sense, but you did ask for it. You see, the Weasley twins are not in the Order, but those boys can invent anything! They have this new product, extendable ears, and they spied on the order. Apparently Professor Dumbledore has informed them, the Order I mean, that Severus betrayed them and the gullible fools believed him! The brutality of it! The exiled him from Hogwarts just after his escape from the Dark Lord. Honestly!" She paused to catch her breath and grinned at the look on Sam's face, "Don't worry dear, it wasn't made to make sense. It had been nearly a day since Severus' disappearance and I was getting worried. That boy has a knack for trouble that is unbelievable! So I went to the international floo and came here." She paused again and played with a second chunk of hair. "That is about it."

disbelief in combination with humor was written over Sam's features and the question itching to come out of her mouth finally released itself, "But how did you get here? People don't just appear in the middle of a facility like this!"

The woman clucked at her and shook her head, "You are most defiantly a Muggle, through and through. That's alright dear… you see I aparated." She pronounced the syllables slowly and carefully as if speaking to a child.

"Yes, you have used that word before, but how?"

"Oh, well now that is easy. Magic!"

Yes… I know it was short… but I'm human (As far as I know :P) There are probably mistakes everywhere so if you feel the need, go ahead and point them out to me.

Please, if you have the time drop me a review. Every review is much appreciated and questions are welcomed.

Thank you all very much!
