Chapter 8, In which Green Does Not Necessarily Represent Envy

As it turned out, Zordon did not, in fact, have the chance to share his potential discovery with anyone. He was too busy getting his butt kicked.

The first sign Harry received that something was wrong came while he was finishing up grinding the last bit (he hoped) of Terror Toad horn he would need for his new focus. It wasn't really a sign that could be missed either. It was rather difficult to mistake Zordon's near panicked shouting and the various pops and explosions coming from the main room of the Command Center as anything but trouble.

Harry burst out of his hidden room in time to see a figure in what looked like a green Ranger suit with a golden chest piece and golden armbands. The unidentified Ranger was ripping the consoles open and tearing out the internal wiring while Zordon pleaded for him to stop. 'In retrospect,' Harry thought, 'I probably should have come out with my invisibility cloak on…' This line of thought was inspired by the fact that the figure was now staring right at him.

Or at least Harry supposed he was since the individual in question had the same kind of full face helmet the other Rangers did that made it rather difficult to tell what they were looking at specifically.

"Who the bloody hell are you?" Harry demanded, pulling his magic up as he shifted away from the door to his room. He was moving to his left, where he could see Alpha standing while slumped forward, unresponsive.

"Ah…" the figure said in a somewhat deep voice with a bit of a sinister lilt to it as if he was trying as hard as he could to sound evil. "You must be the magic user that Zordon's pathetic Power Rangers recruited. Empress Rita warned me about you."

"Empress Rita?" Harry questioned in an attempt to keep him talking. Zordon had gone quiet moments after Harry had stepped out but the wizard didn't have time to look. He had a feeling that taking his attention off the intruder was probably one of the worst things he could do at the moment.

"Yes, Empress Rita!" the man nearly shouted. "She is the future ruler of Earth. I am her Green Ranger and she is my Queen!"

"Mate, it sounds like you got smacked upside the head with something. There's nothing royal about that bloody bint other than being a royal pain in my backside."

"Enough of your slander of Empress Rita!" the Green Ranger shouted before leaping toward him, easily clearing the smoking console between them, and drawing back for a flying punch that would leave Harry nothing but a smear on the Command Center wall.

At least it would have if he hadn't apparated away at the last moment, reappearing with a pop in the center of the consoles where the Green Ranger had just been standing. Twisting around to face his opponent, Harry sent a full body bind at him, smiling in satisfaction as it hit him in the back and washed over his chest piece.

His satisfied smile was quickly removed from his face as the Green Ranger began laughing. "You think your pathetic spells can affect me?" He easily stood from the partial crouch he had been in after landing and slowly turned to face Harry once more. "My Empress has used her magic to protect me from anything you can do. My shield is especially resistant to your pathetic powers."

'Great,' Harry thought. 'He's resistant to my magic. Rita must have given him a super charge through the Elder Wand for him to have this much resistance without magic of his own though…'

Harry's thought process was cut off as the Green Ranger vanished in a blink of green light only to reappear right in Harry's face moments later. Before he could react, Green grabbed the front of his shirt and lifted him into the air with one arm. "From all that Goldar warned me about you, I expected more of a challenge. Are you prepared to meet your end?"

"Oh, I'm far from done, mate." Harry summoned a loose panel from the console behind the Green Ranger, sending it flying forward to smash into the back of his head, making him stumble. Harry used the Ranger's momentary lack of balance to cast a wandless banisher, breaking his hold on Harry's shirt and sending him back into the console that had just assaulted him.

Harry dropped to the ground in a crouch, idly summoning a small chunk of metal from one of the destroyed consoles as he did and tapping it with a finger, making it glow blue for a moment.

Green took no time at all to recover, quickly standing and making his way over to tower over Harry's crouched form. "Just give up, Wizard. You are nowhere near powerful enough to take me down. Empress Rita's total victory has been assured from the moment she recruited me into her army."

"If you say so…" Harry mumbled before throwing himself backward, landing on his back and tossing the fragment of metal at the Green Ranger. "Catch!"

Out of reflex the Green Ranger did just that, only to disappear as his touch activated the Portkey Harry had thrown.

Harry immediately threw his arms out, letting his magic flow from him as rapidly as it could and guiding it to form a dome over the Command Center. It was a kind of rudimentary ward he had once been shown that would, hopefully, prevent access from a specific party, in this case the Green Ranger. Mere moments after he got the ward up he felt an impact from outside. Since the ward was anchored on him, he felt the full strain of the pressure that Green was putting on his protections in his attempt to reenter the Command Center.

The strain would have brought him to his knees if he hadn't already been there.

If he had had any doubt before that the Green Ranger was empowered by the Elder Wand then it was settled in that moment. Harry very much doubted that Rita's Ranger would ever be able to use expressed magic as Harry did, but the familiar pressure of magic at the levels he was feeling, corrupted though it was by Rita's own power, confirmed that successfully using direct magic on him would be nearly impossible.

Finally, after what felt like hours but was probably closer to ten minutes, Harry felt the pressure caused by Green's attempts to reenter the Command Center stop. Harry nearly collapsed in relief, avoiding it through sheer willpower alone, before his attention was brought to the Viewing Globe which had lit up seemingly on its own.

"Well played, Wizard," Green's helmeted face appeared in the Globe as his voice echoed around the room. "You have successfully kept me out of the Command Center this time, but I shall return. And when I do, nothing will stop me from destroying the Power Rangers and all that ally themselves with them." Then the image vanished leaving the Viewing Globe blank once more.

Slowly and unsteadily, Harry stood once more and looked around the Command Center as he let his ward collapse, drawing the excess magic back into himself. He saw Alpha still standing where he had first seen him and still slumped over. Around half the consoles were trashed, their tops ripped open and the wires and circuits within torn out, though it probably would have been worse if Harry hadn't come out of his room when he had. At least none of the consoles were burning…

His thoughts were once more derailed, this time by Zordon's voice. "Harry… must… Rangers… Rita… Coin… to… Green…" Zordon's giant head in the tube was flickering in and out of view, the edges blurrier than normal even when he was visible. His voice kept cutting out, making it hard for Harry to make out more than one word out of several.

"Zordon, I can't understand you! What's going on? Who was that guy?" Harry's shouts seemed unheard on Zordon's end as he just kept talking.

"Together… defeat… strong… the… you." Zordon's face then blinked out one final time and stayed that way.

"Ah bloody hell…" Harry mumbled before glancing over the room again. "Jason is gonna flip when he sees this place and hears what happened to Zordon…" Harry sighed. "Oh well, I guess there's nothing to do but call them in…"

Reluctantly but knowing he had no real choice, Harry brought his communicator up near his face and activated it. "Guys, its Harry. We've got a bit of situation…"

-MR-

Luckily enough, the Rangers had all been together when Harry called them. The problem there was that Green had managed to destroy enough of the control consoles that teleportation was down so they couldn't get to the Command Center through their normal methods.

Harry offered to apparate to them and bring them in one at a time but Trini had immediately vetoed the idea. She still hadn't gotten over her own short trip via apparition during the Terror Toad battle and was not at all eager for a repeat performance.

In the end, the Rangers ended up coming in Billy's car, which he had named "the Rad Bug." Apparently it was a project of his that he had finished some time before and had helped the Rangers the last time they had teleportation troubles. When Harry asked how a car would be able to help them, he was told that Billy had created a mechanism that allowed the car to fly.

So it was that an hour or so after Green had been forced out of the Command Center the Rangers flew down the shaft in the roof usually used for teleportation and landed in a small silver car. It was a rather simple vehicle all said and done, mostly smooth curves and slopes along the body. The only obvious changes Billy must have made were a box on the front bumper and some kind of dome on the hood and roof, the latter of which was connected to a barrel shaped device on the back by a long tube. Almost immediately after the teens got out of the car, Harry's prediction was proven correct.

"Look at this place," Jason was the first to speak as he got out of the front passenger seat. Harry stood from behind one of the center consoles where he had been gathering the wires and other components together in the hopes that Billy would be able to fix them. Jason spotted him and immediately advanced toward him threateningly. "What did you do, Harry!"

Rolling his eyes, Harry sent a leg-locker curse at Jason, sending the teen to the ground when his legs snapped together and his knees locked. "Alright then," Harry said with a false smile on his face. "Now that Jason's paranoid ranting has been cut off, what can you guys tell me about the green Power Ranger that was in here not even an hour ago tearing up everything?"

"Green Power Ranger?" Kimberly asked as she, Billy, and Trini moved to look at some of the destroyed computers, their concern for Jason overwhelmed by their shock at the destruction before them.

Zack had moved to help prop Jason up when Harry spoke but nearly dropped him in shock after Harry's comment. "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Zack had ahold of Jason, Harry canceled his spell and turned to the others. "I mean there was a guy with a green Ranger suit that was in here tearing up the consoles. I think he did something that must have messed with the teleportation function of the communicators. Whoever it was, he also managed to fry Alpha and disconnect us from Zordon."

"Zordon's gone?!" Kimberly shouted as her attention quickly switched to the conspicuously empty tube.

"Yeah," Harry said with a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. "He tried to say something just after I kicked Green out, but I couldn't understand it. His voice kept skipping out or something like…"

"Like a bad connection?" Billy interjected, holding a severed end of a cable that had been in front of the console closest to Zordon's tube.

"Yeah, I suppose so…" Harry answered as the other Rangers gathered around him and Billy, Jason shooting him a glare as he did so.

"That makes sense." Billy nodded, closely examining a cable in his hand before leaning over the console once more. "This cable is the primary information conduit for the trans-dimensional communications system that allowed Zordon to speak with us. Without it the signal would have lost integrity fairly quickly. That doesn't even take into account the rest of the damage done here…"

Billy trailed off and Zack shot a look to Trini who rolled her eyes. "With that cable ripped out like it is, Zordon can't talk to us."

"Ok, so can you put it back in?" Jason asked.

"Not exactly," Billy answered slowly. He was about to continue but Alpha chose that moment to start moving again.

"Power Rangers! Power Rangers! Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!" The robot was speaking in a more mechanical voice than usual and his tone was constantly fluctuating. "Must contact Power Rangers! Must contact Power Rangers!"

"Alpha!" Billy shouted in eerie parallel to Harry's first meeting with him. The Blue Ranger quickly put the cable down and moved over to the staggering and flailing robot with the others right behind him.

"What happened to him?" Kimberly asked, looking between the apparently suffering robot, Billy, and Harry as she did.

"I don't know…" Harry trailed off. "He was already down when I found the green guy and I didn't have a chance to check on him. This is the first time he's moved since then. Besides that, my mechanical knowhow is effectively zero so I figured I should wait for you guys before trying anything."

"Can't you, like, magic everything back to one piece or something?" Zack asked him in concern.

Harry shook his head. "Not as such, no. My magic and complex technology don't mix together very well. You guys might remember Billy making my communicator and how the first one shorted out and the second one exploded? Yeah, imagine that on a larger scale if I tried to fix things in here. Not really a good idea. I'd probably finish the job Green started if I tried any direct magic on the computers."

The other Rangers paled at the thought, save Billy who was busy looking over Alpha. "Yeah," Zack finally said. "I see how that could be bad… What did happen though?"

Harry sighed. He couldn't see any other recourse than to reveal his hidden room to them. If he didn't, Jason would probably continue to assume that he had been the one to destroy the Command Center. At least until Green made an appearance in Angel Grove anyway.

Harry pointed toward the hidden doorway. "I made a secret room of sorts in the Command Center…" He could tell the moment the Rangers were finally able to see the door. Their focus on the spot that he was pointing to and the fact that he had mentioned the room allowing them to see past the Notice-Me-Not enchantment. "I was in there working on the focus components that have been collected when I heard something going on out here. I came out, saw the green guy, we fought, I magiced him out of the Command Center and threw up a temporary ward to keep him out and then called you guys when he stopped trying to get in."

"You know you might have been able to beat him if you were taking karate lessons…" Zack hedged, a hint of a smile on his face.

Harry could see that he was trying to bring a sense of levity to the otherwise tense situation, but Harry wasn't up for it. "I seriously doubt that Zack, and this is probably not the best time for that topic… again…"

Everyone was quiet for a moment as Billy turned back to Alpha. Finally, he gave a short exclamation of surprise and discovery before pulling a disk out of a slot on Alpha's back. The response was immediate.

"Oh, Power Rangers, you're here! And Harry, you're alright too! Ai yai yai yai yai! What happened to the Command Center!"

Everyone smiled once Alpha returned to a semblance of normality, but Kimberly quickly returned to the topic at hand. "Alpha do you know who did this to you?"

The robot paused for a moment before speaking again, his voice reflecting his confusion. "All my memory chips seem to have been scrambled. No recollection."

Billy nodded and waved the disk. "There must have been a virus on this disk that affected his systems."

Jason turned back to Harry, a frown of concentration on his face as concern danced in his eyes. "Harry, you said it was a green Ranger who did this, right?" At Harry's nod, he continued. "So what can you tell us about this guy then?"

Harry shrugged as he leaned against the edge of a destroyed console. "Not much I'm afraid. I'm fairly sure it is a boy under the suit based on his voice and body type. I know he seems to worship Rita and claims to be her Green Ranger, and has at least some level of martial arts training, but that's almost a given with the suit seeing as I doubt Rita would choose someone who couldn't fight to battle against you lot. His suit also gives him an unreal level of resistance to my magic. I hit him with a kind of paralysis spell and it did absolutely nothing. I'm fairly certain that Rita super charged him with magic through the Elder Wand. I used a magical transport device to get him out of the Command Center, but it didn't take him as long as I had anticipated to start trying to get back in. My guess is that it dropped him out of transit somewhere between here and the destination I set. So he's not completely immune, but I seriously doubt that most direct magic will affect him and anything that does probably won't work as well or last as long as it should."

"Great, so we have a martial artist who is magically resistant." Trini said with a sigh, her shoulders slumping slightly.

"Hey, no worries guys," Jason interjected, taking a step forward and standing up straight. "Harry just said his magic isn't completely useless against him and we've beaten powerful fighters before. We'll beat this guy too."

"Yeah, but every other time we've had Zordon to help us." Zack reminded everyone. "We don't have him this time."

Alpha had his own answer for that. "Billy and I can get started on repairing the computers right away and then I will try to re-establish contact with Zordon. With luck, I should be able to find him within a few hours of the computers getting fixed."

"And in the meantime we'll stay ready." Jason nodded. "Rita can attack at any time, especially since she's gotta know that we're crippled right now. We just need to be ready to show her that we're down, but not out."

Seeing the other teens around him taking heart from Jason's words made Harry smile inwardly. Say what you will about Jason's corny speeches, they did their job. Taking a deep breath, Harry perked up. "Right, well I'll be getting back to it then!"

"What are you going to do?" Kimberly asked. "I thought you said you couldn't use your magic to help fix things here."

"I can't," Harry said. "But I can get back to work on my wand. I should be able to finish it fairly soon if my guess is right."

Looking over at where Billy and Alpha were already hard at work on the computers, Trini spoke up. "Do you mind if we watch? There's not much we can do out here to help these two so…"

Harry looked over Jason, Zack, Kimberly, and Trini before shrugging. "I suppose so. Just be warned, It's probably gonna be rather boring for you."

Moving quickly, Harry reached the door to his room first and slipped through while the door was still swinging open, disillusioning the cot before any of the others could see it. He may have had to tell everyone about the room, but they didn't necessarily need to know he slept there too.

By the time the four Rangers entered his room, he was sitting at his desk with various transfigured glass containers with each of his selected wand components sitting against the wall at the back of the desk. Directly in front of him was his chosen piece of holly and a transfigured knife.

"This is actually kinda cool," Kimberly commented when she walked into the room, looking around the black walls and at his sparing furniture. "Kinda simple but not bad. Don't know that I should have expected much else from a boy though." She and Trini shared a smile while Harry rolled his eyes.

"Here," Harry offered after a moment, grabbing a few spare stones he had piled next to his desk and levitating them toward the four Rangers who hadn't stepped to far away from the door. A few feet from each Ranger, the stones were transfigured into simple wooden chairs that settled to the ground in front of them. "I don't usually entertain much in here so I don't have much in the way of furniture."

With a small snort of laughter, Zack grabbed his chair and dragged it over near Harry's desk before spinning it around and sitting with his arms resting on the back. "So, what are you working on now?"

As the other Rangers settled their own seats nearby, Harry picked up the piece of holly and showed it to the others. "This is the piece of wood I'm going to carve the body of my wand with. I plan on letting my magic guide me in this instance so I probably won't be much for conversation. Once I have the body carved out, I'm going to split it down the middle and hollow it out, put the core in, and then seal it back together. If all goes well then I'll have a working wand."

"And what if it doesn't go well?" Jason asked.

Harry sighed. "As I said earlier, it could do nothing, it could explode, and most anything in between. Whatever happens, I'll probably be very, very disappointed. If I had to take a guess, based on the all involved circumstances, I'd say it's most likely to just not channel any magic at all when I try to use it."

"So there's a chance that it won't even work?" Kimberly looked affronted at the mere thought.

Harry shrugged. "Yeah, I've never actually had to craft my own wand. Before I got the Elder Wand when I finished Voldemort, I had a wand that I had used since I started my schooling. That one was destroyed just before I left my original world. During the war, I had that wand through it all so even though I was taught how to make my own there was never cause to use those lessons."

The others didn't seem to know how to respond to that so Harry shrugged again and closed his eyes. "I'm going to channel some of my magic into this wood and then start carving. This particular piece is actually surprisingly accepting of my magic, so if nothing else I'll have a good body for the wand. Once the wood is magically charged, the magical energy itself will guide me as I carve. I'll be in a kind of trance so that's why I won't be much for conversation." Not hearing any complaints or comments, Harry focused his magic and let his senses wander as he picked up the knife from his desk.

-MR-

All in all, the carving process, guided by his magic, took a bit over an hour. Harry was only aware of the passage of time in the vaguest of senses. The Rangers who had joined him in his room had begun talking after a short while and the background noise was a somewhat pleasant diversion for the part of Harry's mind that wasn't taken up by his task.

When he finally replaced the knife on his desk, the clack of metal on wood attracting the Rangers' attention, he was left holding a wooden rod nearly 12 inches long that was glowing faintly in his hand. The entire thing was rather thicker than any wand he had used in the past. It lacked the defined handle and gentle slope to a point of most Ollivander wands. Instead, it was more like a baton that maintained its 1 inch diameter for the majority of its length before abruptly angling to a point about an inch from the end.

"That's gonna be your wand?" Zack asked, incredulity showing in his voice.

Kimberly wasn't impressed either. "Yeah, it kinda looks more like a glow stick with a point right now…"

Harry gave a rueful smile. "I'll admit it's not exactly what I was thinking when I envisioned it either. Most wands I saw in my old world were much more… streamlined… And not just because they were professionally made. The general shape of this thing is off from what I'm used to. But if everything goes right it should still work all the same. And honestly, the extra size would probably work better for the number of core ingredients I have to put in it."

"So you said you have to split it in half now, right?" Trini asked. "How do you plan to do that?"

Harry smiled and sent a pulse of his magic into the wood again. With a soft crack the wood split smoothly in half along the grain. "Like this." Harry smirked as the Rangers stared, confusion written in their eyes.

"How…" Kimberly started.

"Magic." Harry cut her off with a smile before chuckling at the glare she shot him before he started hollowing out a groove on each half of the wand.

-MR-

Once Harry finished preparing one half of the wand, he took a short break to finish work on one of his other components, in this case the Zapple Apple. With a few simple transfigurations, he had a magical fire in a contained and protected space that was heating the apple over another container that would collect the molten metal and hold it in stasis so that it wouldn't fully solidify before he was ready. Luckily enough, it turned out that whatever kind of metal the apple was made of melted rather easily as the entire thing was liquid by the time he finished preparing the other half of the wand's body. All in all, the entire process only took thirty minutes.

Also during that time, Billy dropped in for a moment, both to see what Harry was working on and to report that he and Alpha had managed to at least get the teleporters partially running. They would only work when they were morphed, something about the extra energy provided by their coins helping the process along, but it was better than nothing. He did say that the console connecting to Zordon's communication device was much more damaged than they had originally thought, which is why they put it off to work on the teleporters first. After all, if Rita's forces attacked and they couldn't get there to stop them then they'd be out of luck. It wasn't like the Power Rangers could fly the Rad Bug into battle after all.

"You know," Harry said once he confirmed all his components were ready. "If I had things my way, I wouldn't be doing this all at once."

"What do you mean, Harry?" Trini asked while the others looked on curiously.

"I mean that I wouldn't be trying to do this all in one go. Carve the wand body one day and finish the final ingredient prep another. Get the solid core together and assemble the whole thing on a third and fourth day. Spread things out so I'd have less of a chance of messing things up due to stress. Freaking Green Ranger…"

Just then, the alarm klaxons in the Command Center went off.

"Ah bugger…" Harry slammed his head into the desk in front of him. "Sorry all, I think I may have jinxed us…"

"Rangers! Rangers!" Alpha waddled up to the still open door of Harry's room with Billy close behind him. "Goldar and the Putty Patrol are gathering to attack Angel Grove!"

Jason and the other Rangers stood from their transfigured chairs which Harry then vanished to get them out of the way. "Then we better head them off guys." The Red Ranger said with determination in his voice.

"Right!" the other four Rangers called before following him into the main room of the Command Center.

"Harry," Jason stopped for a moment, giving the wizard a firm look. "If this Green Ranger guy shows up we're probably gonna need your help if he's as strong as you said he is. Get your wand done as soon as you can, alright?"

Harry just nodded, refraining from rolling his eyes. "Shouldn't be too terribly long at this point, Jason. I'll be along as soon as I can." As if he would have taken his time during a crisis situation.

With a nod to Harry, Jason moved to stand with the rest of the Rangers. "Alright guys, It's Morphin' Time!"

"MASTODON!" "PTERODACTYL!" "TRICERATOPS!" "SABER-TOOTH TIGER!" "TYRANNOSAURUS!"

The five briefly appeared in their spandex-like suits before being engulfed in light of their own colors that then flew through the air as Alpha teleported them to the location of Rita's forces. "Ai yai yai…" Alpha murmured as he shuffled back to one of the consoles and resumed repair work.

Deciding to take the robot's lead, Harry got back to work on his wand, carefully pouring the molten metal of the Zapple Apple into the hollow on each half of the wand and then tilting each piece to get an even coating as it cooled. He had a brief worry when he first started pouring that the liquid metal would set the wooden wand shell alight, but was more than a bit relieved when that didn't happen.

While the metal cooled, Harry collected the strands from the Pinoctopus Vine and the Singing Squash and entwined them with some of the Genie's webbing, securing the bundle at several places with some strands of his own hair. It was a rather tedious process since he couldn't use magic to tie his hairs in a loop around the bundle and his hair just wasn't quite long enough to make it an easy job otherwise.

Finally, after several minutes of struggle, Harry had the solid core bundle prepared and gathered his other ingredients. Mixing together the sample of his blood, the ground Terror Toad horn, and the dust from Madame Woe's crystal focus, Harry was left with a thick brown paste that he spread over the now solid, if still a bit warm, metal that sat in the recesses of the wand shells.

Harry was just reaching for the bundle of strands once more when the alarm in the Command Center started going off again.

"Ai yai yai yai yai! Harry! Come quick!"

Harry leapt up, fearing another intruder, and charged out into the main room with his hands glowing with magic. "Alpha, what is it?!" His head darted left and right, searching for anyone that didn't belong, but found nobody there but himself and Alpha. The robot was dancing frantically from one foot to the other as he stared at the once again active Viewing Globe.

"Oh Harry, it's horrible! The Green Ranger showed up and he's thrown the other Rangers out of the Megazord!"

"Say what now?" Harry demanded as he let his magic recede again and jogged over to stand behind Alpha, watching the rangers fight the same Green clad figure he had had a short encounter with earlier that day. "Yeah, that's the guy alright. Is the Megazord alright?"

Alpha nodded his saucer-shaped head. "Yes, I managed to teleport the Zords back to storage before the Green Ranger could take possession of it after the Rangers were ejected. But now they are all fighting on the ground and it looks like the Rangers are losing! What are we going to do?"

Indeed it did look bad. Harry watched as the Green Ranger practically danced amongst the Rangers, performing flips and kicks almost as if he was playing with them. As he watched, the evil Ranger locked his ankles around Trini's neck and hooked his arm around Billy's, leaving himself held horizontally between them. Before either could react, the Green Ranger twisted his body around, using Billy as a base and sending Trini flipping through the air as he planted his feet on the ground before throwing Billy as well.

"Merlin…" Harry breathed as he watched the Rangers getting beaten. "He's pulverizing them out there…"

Harry took a deep breath before his resolve hardened. He would need to speed things up now. He had hoped to have a bit of time to test his new wand after it was finished before jumping into battle, but it looked like the Green Ranger had once again taken that decision out of his hands.

With a sense of determination he hadn't felt since the last days of the war against Voldemort, Harry marched back into his room and put the core bundle in place before resting the other half of the wand over it. Gingerly, Harry picked up the fully assembled wand, feeling lucky that the paste acted like a weak adhesive. It would help in holding it together until he could channel his magic into the new focus and, hopefully, fuse it back into one piece.

His brow furrowing in concentration, Harry grasped the focus with both hands and began calling up his magic.

The first thing he noticed was the heat as the wooden shaft started warming in his hands while his magic churned within it. Next, just as the heat started to reach uncomfortable levels, the wand started to vibrate. As the next few seconds passed, Harry found he was unable to unclench his hands from the wand and felt his skin begin to burn as the vibrations from the wand became strong enough to translate to his hands. All the while, and completely unbeknownst to Harry, a fierce wind had whipped up around him, knocking the containers holding the last of his wand components off his desk and generally upsetting things around him.

Alpha was first alerted to the phenomenon when a random bolt of electricity arced out of Harry's doorway and hit one of the pylons that were placed around the room. "What in the world…?" Alpha began shuffling toward the door when another bolt arced out, nearly missing him and forcing him to take cover behind one of the consoles. "Harry! Harry, what's going on?"

As the wand grew hotter and hotter, Harry felt like his hands were on fire where they were touching it. At this point the wand was pulling his magic all on its own despite a few attempts to stop the flow. Finally, with one last burst of magic, Harry felt the wand seal itself with a sucking sound before his hands unclenched, dropping the wand to the floor.

Harry stumbled back a few steps and dropped to a sitting position on the ground, landing with a grunt. Alpha waited a few more moments before making his way into the room. "Harry? Are you alright?"

Harry blinked as he looked up at the robot's visor, the flashing lights confusing him for a second before he shook his head. "Yeah, Alpha. I'm fine." Harry said as he took a moment to examine his hands, rather surprised to find them to be whole and unburned. He then looked back toward his desk and spotted his attempted focus lying on the ground a few feet away. Without another word, Harry summoned it to his hand.

The effect was immediate.

The pointed tip of the baton-like wand let out a shower of bright red sparks as a surge of warmth shot up Harry's arms. He smiled. His wand was ready.
