Gravity of it All by PLS
Summery: Sick of trying to survive as Harry Potter in a post-Voldemort world, a young wizard takes a new path in the past that leads to the stars.
ooOooOoo
Together we were enchanted by a love that even the gods won't forgive.
Before telling me you're leaving me,
let's throw away common sense and anything like it.
In this love that's like a "No entry allowed" warning sign,
let's try just one more time
to see if we can gamble everything on the same dream!

Chapter Five- Intutitive Magics and Rabbit Holes
ooOooOoo
Harry sent off his report on the Greecian Gou'alds, edited just enough so it didn't sound totally insane. It only took one more day for him to get a personal, off the record, e-mail from the Prime Minister. It asked for the unedited version so he could have a good laugh as he faught through changing educational policies and a rather crippling strike from the public transit people. Harry did so and in less than an hour ROTFLMAOshowed up in his inbox as well as a thanks. Harry forwarded both to all of the SGC who Harry knew would be amused.
He certainly was grateful that he wasn't the only one who wittnessed the very odd trio of gou'ald brothers, one was a Sailor Moon fan, er, person, one was a Mecha fan, and one just seemed exasperatedly amused by them both. If anything Harry was suggesting that it be Anteros who they contacted, if they contacted the family at all. SGC on a whole was musing over the whole thing and ideas that maybe not all gou'ald were like the System Lords, the dictators, or the Tok'ra. This brought up the idea that maybe somewhere they'd find a gou'ald society that never posed as gods, never really wanted war, and was maybe a potential trading partner. Harry didn't muse over it though, he was more interested in the idea that maybe they could use Japanese cartoons as a passive weapon to weaken their foes or drive them insane. It certainly worked on Cupid.
"Hey, Col. Paterson." some airman was at his office door.
"Yes?"
"Some big wigs from London are on confrence call in the breifing room. General O'Neill wants you up there." Harry nodded, grabbed a beat up binder with notes, old reports, and blank paper then walked briskly to the elevator which took him to the breifing room.
Jack was talking about the non threat that the Greecians posed and Harry recoinized one of the Generals from the British Army on the line.
"Ah, Colonel Paterson is here. He'll give you his veiw." said Jack with a pleading look upon his face. Harry cleared his throat.
"Er, right. Sirs, the three gou'ald we encountered, Cupid, Anteros, and Aeneas, were rather immature and to be honest were very generous in their giving to the people of the SGC and by exstention Earth. Apparently, one of the gou'alds who they call 'Dad' is a fan of science fiction programs that we broadcast and built weaponry based upon one of the cartoons he saw. The most mature of the brothers, Anteros, was the one who made the deal with Dr. Daniel Jackson, and in return for forgetting Cupid's indiscresions we were given plans, the full schematics, and, the equations and programing templates needed to create our own version of this weapon. This new group really doesn't seem like they are going to expand upon us or any of our allies and in fact just seem content were they are. If anything we should be aware of them, but not actively seek them out, or interfear unless lives of our people are at stake."
"Is that how you perseive things, Colonel?" asked the Minister of Defence.
"Yes, sir."
"Very well. The United Kingdom supports your choices, General, Colonel." said the voice of one of the Generals, "Oh, and Paterson."
"Yes, sir?"
"Congradulations on making Brigader so quickly. Your previous reports have gon through several reveiw boards and you are now free to start building up your task force as you see fit. The details have been sent to you along with your alotment for your budget." Harry just sat there with his mouth hanging open. He was Brigader. It was a position that his last CO promiced he would never see. Not after he dropped the ball in Bosnia and didn't take out a target in time to prevent an enemy strike on a small town. It wouldn't have happened if he had just been given the real story, but such were the fortunes of war and the privalages of command.
"Thank you, sir." Harry managed to say.
"Not at all, if I'm reading your records right, you should have made Major General just before you left us, the first time."
"Oh?" asked Jack in that 'point me at who to kill for this slight' tone of voice. Harry sighed.
"It doesn't matter. Besides, it sounds like everyone in London is going to be rapidly promoteing me. Right, sirs?"
"Yes, indeed we are." said the Minister with a slight laugh, "It just wouldn't do to have a Colonel as the head of the new British Interstellar Defence Forces. As soon as you make general the new branch will be formed and the IDF will start reporting only to me, the Prime Minister, and the international community."
"See, I told you that your government likes soldiers better than ours." Jack whinned, "You're going to head a whole branch of the millitary."
"Jack?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up." Harry said as those on the phone lines laughed at their antics.
"We'll let you two get back to your jobs." said the general.
"Yes, and please, if you run into Cupid again, get pictures. Don't submit them with your reports, but it does get stressful here and comedic relief helps." said the Minister.
"Have a good day , sirs."
"And we'll send you the footage from the gate room that was lost due to camera glitches." added Jack before hanging up, "Nice guys."
"Yeah. I think they are just happy to leave all this stuff in someone else's hands because it it so far out of their understanding." Harry said and Jack nodded.
"Too bad my bosses think that they can take on the universe and thus have to question everything we do here." Harry sighed, understanding Jack's plight.
"What would it take for us to get off world for a weekend?" asked Harry. Jack turned thoughtful then smirked.
"Not as much as you'd think."
End Chapter Five-
(I am a former Sailor Moon fan, just as I used to know every blasted detail from Dragonball Z. Now, my tastes in anime and everything are more diverse. Right now, I'm renting Infinite Ryvius, Ah, My Goddess! the Movie, re-watching Gundam Wing, reading Chobits, Gravitation, Demon Diary, and trying to catch Stargate on TV as much as I can. Mostly, I don't have time to watch the stuff on TV I'd like to so I resort to renting for weekend binges, reading the manga versions, and downloading as many songs from the shows as well as just J-Pop & J-Rock as I can. Cupid will stay a diehard Sailor fan, it just fits the hyper matchmaker. He is a tribute to Chibi Moon and Wicked Lady, my favorite characters from that series. Besides, we'll need the comedy breaks.)
