Chapter 14- Looking at the Past, Wondering.
Time passes by so fast
I can't reach it by myself
It won't come within reach with the weak word,
Even if I stare widely, I lose sight of the star
There is a light nobody can have
The light of life is burning bright

When Jack and Harry first saw the SG gate team sent to accompany them back, was the first thing said even though both were slightly scared at the mix. One was USAF major, one was an Austrian witch, one was a werewolf from South Africa, and one was an Arabic doctor. They bore the team designation SG-32 and both the werewolf and witch were in awe of Harry while the major and doctor were in awe ar meeting Jack. They said their good-byes to Thor and Baldor who had been keeping them busy for the two weeks they spent on Thor's ship trying to get to a planet within Earth's gate range.
On the Earth side they were greeted by the now three star General Samantha Carter, her staff, the new SGC staff under Brigadier General Thorne, Thorne who had loosened up and was supposedly responcible for the fact that the SGC and all things connected to it were under the UN's control and even that was under reveiw as the SGC was now rather self-sufficeiant and no longer required billions of tax dollars.
From what they were briefed on, it all started with the fact that the Furlings lost Jack and Harry in less than two days. They felt guilty, the Asgard were angry, the Tok'ra were angry, heck everyone but the Gou'ald and Replicators were up in arms about it all. In responce the Furlings started sharing more secrets, teaching and building defences and new systems for the SGC. The Asgard had made it very clear to the Goa'uld that the whole slavery thing was wrong and were now giving Earth and the Tok'ra ships to fight with.
In return, the SGC and a few other interested scientists went to go try to help the Asgard try to figure out just how to start reprodusing naturally again. One of the scientists was a muggle-born witch who accidentally left her notes out where her wizard husband saw them, he was also a potions master and was also intreged by the issue and asked to be added to the team. Carter then was a Briagdier General and the CO of the SGC and was skeptical but it was Daniel who managed to get him clearence as well as convince the universe under the mountain that magic was real. After all, Jack did leave Daniel all his books and journals and Harry had followed Jack's lead on that subject.
It didn't take more than three years after that before Uric Paterson's secret- being Harry Potter came to light and by that time the SGC had two magical responce teams, five magical scientists, and was a key part in the newly spawned werewolf/vampire protection relocation program. The fact that it was Harry Potter that the Furlings had lost along with one of the very first members of the Stargate Program had the wizards foaming at the mouths but then Daniel and Carter were both getting very good at spinning bad news and using it to get what they needed done and at that time they needed a wizard with combat training on every team.
Now Carter was the head of the newly formed Galatic Defence and Exploration branch of the UN, advocating the research into space colonies that would be manufacturing centers and scientific havens, the Gou'ald's that were not megalomanics were talking about trade treaties as well as exchange programs for scientists and students, and the Tau'ri were on the Council of Races along with three Gou'ald including one of the Tok'ra.
When Jack asked to see Daniel, they were told about how the Tok'ra had a symbiote with whom no one got along with. But the symbiote was also a genius and older than the queen who started the whole movement. Daniel was almost bored with helping to run the SGC and offered to host the symbeote and the two ended up getting on like a house on fire.
Daniel was the Tok'ra's represtentitive on the counsil, as well as having a rather high position in the Tok'ra's council, he was also driving the Tok'ra mad. No longer did the Tok'ra infiltrate and watch and wait, they took wide sweeping action, and because of Daniel the Tok'ra were now rivaling the SGC on the number of System Lords taken down. Sam said that Daniel and his symbeote, Shamash, were just what the Tok'ra needed, even if they really didn't understand it until after the dust settled.
Though it all, one thing seemed to remain the theme, the SGC was there to protect. It really didn't matter who they protected, just as long as it didn't endanger the Earth and the rights of others were being respected.
That night Harry found the books and supplies he needed in the labs and with Jack's help he restored them both to normalicy, they would age and except for the weird mental connection they shared and had grown to love, they were free of all bonds that were drawn over them. They were back in the now luxurious feeling BDU's, and ended up curled up together, both wanting to just forget because nothing felt right except for each other.
It was just too hard to adjust to the new SGC, General Sam, Daniel/Shamash, Teal'c as the leader of the Jaffa, and how everyone had moved on but them. If anything both felt like they were regressing.
