A.N.: I will be mentioning mole-holes in this fic. A mole-hole is the same thing as a worm-hole like seen in sci-fi movies and shows.

Inolya Shrakenburg stood looking out the window thoughtfully as she waited for the other Council members to start the meeting. Half an hour later she heard the bleep of her comm unit alert her that the rest of the council was ready to begin. "Service. What are our plans now that the Samothracians have so gracefully given us the key to mole-hole travel and has the fate of Gwendolyn Ingolfsson been determined?"
"Glory, cousin. We are retro-fitting all ships in the fleet with mole-hole generators and will be sending individual ships to the colonies with tech specs and materials. As for Gwen... she disappeared as we opened the mole-hole to the other Earth. She is considered missing at the moment. We have found several other Earths that are the equivalent of Gwen's discovery. Though one shows that some of the feral humans generate and manipulate bio-energy." An alarm sounded in the background and a servus hurriedly approached the War Directorate member then whispered in her ear. "A mole-hole has opened near the Thames river bio lab. It appears that a feral human fell through it."
"What are you planning to do with it?" asked Tamirindus.
"The lab is doing a gene scan to see if there are any differences from the homo sapiens that were common here four and a half centuries ago," replied the Strategos. "And depending on the results we plan to either geneeer him into a servus or let him loose for a hunt."
"Tell us of any differences if there are any," stated Inolya.
June 17, 1996 Earth/3
Harry was enjoying his summer so far, the threat by several members of the Order had frightened his relatives and twice weekly visits from Tonks and Moony also prevented them from locking him into the room they let him use. A week after he had arrived back at the Dursleys Harry had been then to Gringotts by Remus and Tonks to listen to the reading of the Flamel's will. What had surprised all three was that Harry inherited almost all of Nicholas and Perenelle's wealth and belongings, which had included Ravenclaw's vaults and title. Which to their surprise also led to the reading of Sirius' will and the will of James and Lily, going through the accounts afterwards had brought two surprising facts to their knowledge. One was that Harry was now the richest wizard in the world, the second was that Albus had taken several million galleons for the Order and his own account. After they had brought the embezzling to the goblins attention Harry asked to visit the various vaults, the Black and Potter vaults didn't hold much that was immediately useful though Harry did find a trunk similar to the one Moody had during Harry's fourth year. The Flamel and Ravenclaw vaults contained numerous books that were rare or unique, several of which Harry found would be of immediate use. The first was a book on wards, the second covered the ranks of magic, the third was a how-to book about creating a magical focus, and the fourth was an introductory book on Alchemy.
Harry had spent the week following the will readings reading the books that he took out of the vaults and looking through the trunk. After he had read through the book on magical focus creation he realized that the trunk contained the materials to create two of each type of focus. Thinking carefully Harry weighed the good and bad of each type. 'Hmm... Another wand would basically keep me at the same power though it is fairly common for Aurors and Hit Wizards to carry more then one wand. A staff would allow me to use more power for each spell, but staves are more difficult to conceal. Magi rings are easy to conceal, but I'm not sure about how durable they are. A warlock's gauntlet is between a wand and magi rings in concealment, but they seem much sturdier than the other types of focus and they allow the most power for spells. I guess I had better try that power ranking ritual in the Book of Ranks," thought Harry.
Getting up he cleared an area of the floor and set out the parchment then took out his potions supplies and looked through his school books and books he took from the vault to find the instructions for making ritual ink. He was starting to get irritated at the lack of instructions when he opened the Intro to Alchemy and found ritual ink in the index. Flipping to the appropriate page he looked to see if he had the ingredients which were all in what was left of his potions kit. Carefully he started cutting, crushing, and mixing the ingredients until he had the purple syrup thick substance that the book said he should have if he made the ink properly. Taking the ladle Harry carefully poured it in the form of an octagram inside a circle the he carefully cut his palm and let the blood dribble over the area inside the octagram then touched his wand-tip to the circle and watched as the parchment glowed blue before writing appeared. Looking at the rank the ritual had recorded for him Harry immediately grabbed the ranks book to the rank order page.
Muggle/squib - they either don't have magic or have so little as to be non-existant
Witch/wizard - typical human magic wielder can do first year Hogwarts spells without a focus, best focus for them is a wand
Sorceror - same as the wich/wizard when they have no focus, their best focus is a staff
Mage - can do about third year Hogwarts magic without a focus, best focus is crystals that are typically fused with the mage's body to alleviate problems of being disarmed.(unlike the Warlocks, Mages can use any type of crystal as their focus and they only need three, one for each hand and one for the "third-eye")
Warlock - also can do third year Hogwarts magic without a focus, need one each of Diamond(Defense Against the Dark Arts), Emerald(Charms), Ruby(Transfiguration), Alexandrite(Dark Arts), and Sapphire(Healing).(it's unknown why warlocks can only use those four gems as foci for the different aspects)
All types can use another type's focus, but they will have difficulties using it (examples can include learning advanced magic at a young age but having difficulties with basic spells).
Witch/wizard, sorceror, mage, and warlock are the basic level magic wielders of any race. Witch/wizard type is only common amongst humans, other races consider them to be only slightly better then muggles or squibs and are equal power-wise to mages of the level below. Sorceror type is the common type for races other than human. Mages and warlocks are better received by other races, even if the mage or warlock is human.
Battle levels are more powerful then the base types who are almost always born starting two decades before and ending with the end of a war.
Arch levels are typically the combat leaders of magical units since they are more powerful and have a better innate grasp of magic and strategy then the lower levels of magic types.(example: Grindlewald and Perenelle Flamel)
High level magic-wielders are the lowest ranked of the truly legendary magic beings, they have an even greater grasp of magic, larger reserve of power then the arch levels, and better focus.(example: Albus Dumbledore and Thomas Marvolo Riddle)
Knight level magic wielders are lesser known then other ranks because they are commonly confused with High and Lord level beings. Only surpassed by Lord and Avatar levels in the grasp of magic. This is also the level that has (example: King Arthur, Montezuma, and Nicholas Flamel)
Lord level magic-wielders include some of the best known magic users and have an instinctive grasp of magic that other levels only gain near the end of their lives (example: Merlin, Morgana Le Fey, Viviane, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin).
Avatars are the eternal(can be killed but won't die from old age or disease) magic-wielders who can cast spells with the power to disintegrate mountain ranges and still have the power to conjure large numbers of objects they are also the only magic beings who can cast any spell without a focus. Only knight-level sorcerers and above have the power necessary to destroy an avatar, though there is a chance that the magic wielder will be destroyed by the backlash of destroying the chosen of a deity. (example: unknown, Thomas Marvolo Riddle almost qualifies as the rituals and Alchemy he has performed have altered his body to avatar-ship but his magic remains that of a high wizard).
Setting aside the book Harry nearly fainted when he realized that he is more powerful than the headmaster or Voldemort. Thinking of what the book said about wizards Harry realized the power difference was even greater because wizards are only as powerful as mages of the level before. His body started moving towards his trunk while his mind worked through the implications of Voldemort having an avatar's body. He shook his head and started rummaging through the trunk grabbing six gems and a box that was labelled Basilisk-hide Gauntlet.
Placing the gems and box on the floor he grabbed the knife he cut himself with earlier and cut his palm again then carefully let one drop of blood fall on each gem before dripping blood on each metal ring in the gauntlet. Tearing a strip off his shirt he bound his hand then carefully placed a rod of diamond on the forearm of the gauntlet then placed a rod of alexandrite next to the diamond. Carefully he aligned a smaller gem of each type on the back of his hand then put the gauntlet on and waved his hand. A flare of silver and blue light burst from the gems as a small whirlwind wrapped around him. Smiling he looked at the back of his gauntlet and sighed wistfully when he noticed that he didn't have a sapphire to cast healing spells through. Shrugging he walked out the door and headed to the park.
As he walked to the park Harry passed the alleyway he first saw Sirius in and felt himself get angry at the headmaster for forcing him to take Occlumency with Snape and Snape for not giving up a vendetta from before Harry was born. Entering the park Harry walked over to the swings and sat down as he went through the reasons he was angry with various people. While he was thinking he failed to hear someone step out of the bushes, though he did notice them when a stunner went flying past his head. Jumping up he instinctively swung his left hand at the next spell and watched as he batted it back towards the death eater who cast it. Hearing another spell shouted he dropped then rolled to his right as two more spells impacted where he had been, hopping to his feet he concentrated on what one of his books said about apparating and focused the spell through his gauntlet when nothing happened. The last thing he remembered seeing was the sickly green of a killing curse impacting just as he apparated.
