Chapter 11
Daniel found some very interesting facts, such as the wizarding world was mainly to thank for the Gould's leaving. Pr what he assumed was the Gould as they were referred to as the ancient gods.
He also found many unexplainable situations for the muggle world, such as Pompeii, were mistakes of a wizard.
It was probably lunch time when Daniel came to the wizarding wars against you know who. It seemed strange to Daniel but that's all this man, he assumed, was referred to.
He then came across a reference on death eater; this triggered yet another flash back.
Daniel saw his mother surrounded by the men in white dresses. He began to tattle forward, his mum put a hand to her mouth but he didn't listen. As he kept toddling forward his mother, father and himself were engulfed in the white light.
As they reappeared in a dimly lighted Dungeon. Daniel Parents were roughly shoved into a cell.
"Don't hurt my parents." Daniel shouted alerting the death eater of his existence. He was picked up and shown to a blond haired many with cold grayish-blue eyes.
"What should we do with this one Malfoy?"
After some consideration the order was to put him with his parents.
They then commence in torturing there captives.
As again and again hid parents refused to tell. So they turned to Daniel
Daniel had never known such pain and would know nothing to equal it.
Final his parents caved in and told the Death eaters what they wanted to know.
With a smug look on his face the man known as Malfoy turned and left to inform his master. Not fear they would escape no guard was left to watch the prisoners.
Alex looked around at his family knowing it was probably the last time they would be together. Suddenly he thought of soothing. Leaning over he kissed Daniel allowing Bracken to hide in Daniel. Bracken took control of the little 3 year old some how getting him back to the temple. There he modified the memories of the host, and then slept. Daniel not knowing how much time had passed ran out of the pyramid calling for his parents.
Daniel put his head down on the desk as he felt the tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Is this the truth?" Daniel asked.
"Yes, you were too young to know before."
Trying to distract himself Daniel wiped his eyes and continued reading. To his annoyance it went into a list of the deeds they had done. Closing the book Daniel returned it to the shelves pick up another tiled a list of accused death eaters.
Daniel went through it looking for the identity of this Malfoy. Finding it he turned to the corresponding page.
Daniel was out raged to she he been excused on a lack of evidence.
Then something else on the page caught his attention. The Name Jack O'Neill
Daniel read on finding that "Jack" had been the left hand man of Dumbledore. His right Severus Snape. Jack had been a double agent pretend to be a death eater. He had also the character of a muggle and saved million of there lives.
At the end of the war it was question if he had been true to Dumbledore and he was tried over a period of six months while being kept at Azkaban. In the end he was found innocent, but offended that the Wizarding population could consider him after his war effort he left taking his muggle identity with him. Know one know what happened next or whether this persecuted hero is still alive."
Daniel looked over to the accompanying picture. There was his friend staring back at him. Daniel now used to moving picture, thanks to the school pictures, didn't blinks as Jack left the frame and returned a few seconds later with a beer.
Daniel sat there thinking. Jack was almost as secretive about his past as he was. It could be true that Jack was a wizard in exile. Standing up Daniel headed for the door decide to go ask the source.
Daniel appeared in the next to his car which he left at the SGC. He the headed for his office to retrieve his keys from his desk. As he was waiting for the elevator a voice came from behind him.
"Hey Daniel." He turned to see Teal'c and Sam
"Hi."
"Have you seen Jack?" Sam asked. Daniel smiled.
"I was just going to go check his house. Want to come."
"Ok"
"Indeed." Said Teal'c taking the keys from Daniel
After finding Jack's House empty and his car gone, they decide, to Daniel disappointment, to give up and go have dinner.
As the walk in the door of O'Malley's they were surprised to see Jack with an unknown man playing pool. His partner Greasy black hair hung down in his face as lined up his shot. Sg-1 stood amazed as he sunk every one of his balls. He stood up and turn to jack his hooked nose stuck in Jack face.
"So is that seven shots for me to get the black ball in?" Jack stepped passed his friend and inspected the Table.
"No it's minus seven." His friend seemed shocked.
"Oh don't play innocent Severus, it dose suit you. You and I both know you're cheating. So put the wand away."
People at some of the closer table turned to look as Jack realized the double meaning. Ignoring the disgusted looks Jack lined up his shot. Suddenly a shadow fell over the pocket he was aiming for.
"I don't think that comment was behavior becoming of an officer Sir." Jack looked up at his second in command.
"I'm not in uniform Carter." He said taking his shot and sinking his ball. Standing he started jumping up and down.
"See that how you do it Severus." He said grinning at his friend who seemed so what less than amused.
"If we could put aside you're immature nature for a minuet, who are these." Jack smiled. Snape never usual gave people the time of day less asks for their name. He smile widened as a look of annoyance crossed his friends face. Snape had a crush on Carter, he considered breaking out into song but he knew there were serious punishments for mocking Severus Snape. He walked round, pushed in between Sam and Teal'c and pt his arms around them.
"These, my antisocial friend, are my other friends." Snape raise an eyebrow in feign pain.
"Nice to know I am so easily replaced." Jack smiled
"This is Sam, Murray and Daniel." Jack then went back to his game lining up another shot.
"Ah..." Said Snape walking towards Daniel holding out his hand to shake. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Dumbledore." Jack missed his shot; his ball ricocheted round the table to it finally hit and sunk the 8 ball
"Dumbledore … Mr. Dumbledore." Jack said pointing at Daniel. Snape nodded. "Daniel Dumbledore." Daniel joined Snape in nodding. Jack turned and quickly drained his beer.
"Well been nice Caching up with you Snape. See you guys tomorrow." He then ran for the door.
Daniel now having an answer ran after Jack.
"I can explain…" Jack sharply turned on his heels to Face Daniel.
"There's no need you're the grandson of that self important basted and he shall soon have you well train to kiss his ass. Maybe even as well a Snape." With that he walked out the Door. Snape went after him and managed to jump in the Car before he sped away.
"Do you want to tell me what just happened Daniel?" Sam asked.
"No." He said and went back to the table to order diner.
When Jack got up the next day it was to one giant hang over. Stumbling into the kitchen Jack found a note attached to the fridge.
"Jack,
Thanks for the beer. If you're like me you have a massive hung over, so I left a potion in the fridge it should help.
I know it none of my business but from what you said last night Daniel is too good a friend to lose because he's a Dumbledore. But that's just my opinion.
What you say to meeting again this weekend
Severus."
Jack opened the fridge and drank the potion in one gulp. He then grabbed the keys and headed out the door for work.
Jack had mange to get breakfast and changed with a couple minuets to spare. He was waiting in the briefing room when the rest of his team entered.
"Morning campers, how are we all." Sam looked at Jack as she took a seat opposite him.
"Morning sir, you're certainly bright for someone who should have a massive hang over." Jack smiled.
"Ahhh, but I don't. Hang over's are for you lesser mortals." Teal'c raised an eyebrow at this but no comment was made.
The debriefing was routine and half and hour later sg-1 was lined up in the gate room ready to go.
"Sg-1." General Hammond said over the intercom. "You have ago."
As they arrived on the other side Jack looked around.
"Ok, Carter go and baby-sit Dr Jackson while he study his artifacts." Daniel and Sam looked at each other. It was always obvious when Jack was pissed he started giving everything to so with the person responsible it proper technical terms. Pretending not to notice their reactions he continued. "Teal'c and I will do a perimeter check and set up camp."
It took two hours to do this. Jack then decided to set up for dinner. As he went to collect fire wood Teal'c crossed over to Daniel and Sam.
"Is something wrong With O'Neil, Major Carter?"
"He's angry with m Teal'c." Daniel said not look up from the writing he was trying to translate.
"Why is that Dr Jackson?" Daniel frowned and put the rock down.
"I found my biological family."
"What does that change?" Said Sam.
"He knows them." Sam was about to question it further When Jack called saying dinner was ready.
When Sg-1 returned to base a week later everyone notice Jack attitude to Daniel. At the end of the debriefing General Hammond kept Sam back.
"What going on Major." Sam took a deep breath think how to put it.
"Permission to speak freely sir." Hammond nodded. Sam paused once more then said.
"The Coronal is throwing an immature hissy fit at Daniel." Hammond couldn't help but smile.
"What do you suggest Major."
Later that Day Teal'c led Jack into one of the cribs on base
"What we doing Teal'c?"
"I wish to have your opinion on my new room." Jack looked curious.
"They gave you a new room."
"Indeed." Teal'c stopped and unlocked the door. He the opened it and gestured for Jack to go in.
It only took a sec for Jack to figure out there was no way this could be Teal'c room, it was plain brick with only a table in the middle where Daniel sat. Jack turned to walk out again but as he did the door slammed in his face.
"Tricked you to, hey Jack." Jack continued to stare at the door.
"So it would seem."
"There's a note here for you." Jack turned and took the piece of paper from Daniel.
"Corneal,
I have been informed of yours and Daniels disagreement and decide to take action. You shall remain in the room together until you have talked out your problem and shacked hands. The audio on the camera has been turned down, so no-one will over hear your conversation."
Hammond."
"For crying out loud." Jack exclaimed as he dropped down into a seat. After a few minuets silence Daniel Said
"So…" Jack lifted his head up.
"So what." Daniel could see Jack would be quiet content to sit there for a year. He decided to push him.
"Why do you hate my grandfather?" Jack smiled
"Wow we actually gained some guts Danny, what happened to pussy footing round the bush?"
"I want to get back to Hogwarts." Jack smile vanished. "What happened Jack?"
"How much do you know about the history?" Daniel Pushed his glasses back up his nose
"I know there was a war and you played a main role." Jack nodded, grateful that Daniel had given him a starting point.
"Ok the war against Lord Voldermont, or he-who-shall-not-be-named." Jack was about to go on when Daniel interrupted.
"Why he-who-shall-not-be-named." Jack sighed
"You have to understand this guy was evil, he probably could give the Gould's a run for their money. He left people even years later afraid to say his name.
"So he-who-shall-no-be-named…."
"No" said Jack cutting in. "use his name. Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing." Daniel nodded having lost his train of thought he let jack continue. "Voldermont had a group similar to the jaffa. They were called Death eaters. These are the bad guys. The good guy's were led by your grandfather. The group was called the "Order of the Phoenix". Among the members were Snape, your Parent's and your Aunt and Uncle, the Potter's…. and me." Jack added as an after thought.
Jack took a deep breath. He been skirting round what had really happened. He hadn't actually talk about it since it happened, he just ran away. He got up and started pacing think how to say this. Daniel had notice by this time that Jack refused to directly look at him, instead choosing a piece of wall to focus on. He now continued pacing spouting of facts as if to a receptionists who was righting his autobiography.
"A few years into the war, Snape and I were asked to join the death eaters to spy. Apparently we were the only ones with the right demeanor. I was reluctant as I had a wife and a baby on the way, but I agreed adding it to my duties of informing the muggle's. It was that that got me into the black ops after the war."
Jack sat back down putting his feet on the table and leaning back in his chair. Resting his hand across his stomach, he continued.
"That's how Snape and I became friends. He worked in the inner circle I on the outer. Together we saved many lives." Suddenly jack look past Daniel trying to make him think he was looking at him.
"Do you even know how it ended?" Daniel shook his head. Jack feet dropped on the floor and he leant over to look Daniel in the eye.
"Your cousin is the Boy who lived. Harry Potter was the only person that Voldermont didn't kill. He killed his mother and father and then he tried to kill Harry, but the spell backfired. Leaving your cousin with nothing but a scar and a lot of weight and expectation on his shoulders."
"Why." Asked Daniel "Voldermont was dead." Jack went back to staring at the wall.
"No." said Jack Voldermont "wasn't killed. Somewhere right now he's plotting his revenge. Harry won't be allowed to live a normal life until he kills him."
"Well. That explains a lot." Bracken interrupted. He had managed to stay quite in the convocation as he wanted to hear what had happened after he went to sleep. Unfortunately this comment from Bracken made Daniels eyes glow. Jack seeing this Jumped back from the table hitting the security button.
"Why did you do that Jack?" Daniel asked not understanding his friends' sudden withdrawal. Jack face was one of horror and disgust.
"Games up snake head!" he said jumping over the table to pin Daniel up against the wall. As the back up burst through the door, Jack handed Daniel over. "Dr Jackson has been infected with a Gould." The airmen nodded heading of to the infirmary.
"I'm not a Gould." Daniel shouted as he struggled against the airmen. "I am Tok-ra. Tok-ra you blood assholes. Remember our allies. Let go I'm Tok-ra." Two more airmen grabbed hold of Daniel and dragged him kicking and screaming to the infirmary.
