Chapter Two: Concerning a Certain Wizard:
Arlington VA May 8th 1998:
Melissa made her way through the halls of the magical part of the Pentagon. Like all the Pentagon there was the "public" building, and the secret building far below the surface. The magical part of the Pentagon was right at the center under the green area there and was also the magical headquarters of all military branches in America. Melissa was headed to see Dwight Barry, the brother of a fallen hero driven insane by the shadow Syndicate. Oh how she wanted to get those evil people but time and time again she could not prove they even existed to bring them down! Dwight too tried but it seemed a muggle FBI agent that was close to her sister was closer than anyone else at exposing them and his bosses had a hard time keeping him alive. Between Kerch and Skinner Fox Mulder was very lucky to be alive, or rather it was them making sure he did. They were tough as nails with him but they supported him as they could with out it seeming as they did.
She came to Dwight's office and knocked and he bid her enter. She did and saw him seated behind his desk. The resemblance to his brother was stunning, in fact Duane Barry was his identical twin, or had been. He was clad in a suit and tie and instead of clean shaven he had a neatly trimmed beard. Seated across from him was Del Hakkie, a squib who had worked at Davis Correctional Treatment Center and treated Duane, who was completely insane by the time he got him. Doctor Hakkie knew that Duane had been telling the truth about the abductions, always had but he knew that Duane was a very, very dangerous man. He had shot himself, but that had been due to a dark wizard who had run across him and that combined with the abductions made him very dangerous. Hakkie still thought the abductions were human in origin and nothing would change that.
Hakkie was a very good man, a family man and he now worked as a profiler for the FBI, both magical and muggle.
"Hello Melissa." Hakkie said.
"Hi Del, how are you?" Melissa said giving him a hug, he was a family friend, "good to see you!"
"And you, you look well, I am glad to see you got back safely."
"Me too, I brought back someone who would have been thrown into hell otherwise too." Melissa said.
"Yes about that, he was a death eater, yes he spied but can we trust him?" Dwight asked.
"Well if you take a look at what he did than yes." Melissa replied.
It was only too true, the golden trio as they were called were far, far smarter than what was presented to the public. In fact after Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore had gone to the Ore Mountains and the highly secretive Bohemian academy that was one of the six places on earth to have compressed time abilities to ask for training for his students. Compressed time was a hard feat to do, unlike a time turner one could not keep using it, in fact the maximum one could use in a year was a month real time which gave fifteen months in compressed time. Any more and one could go insane, it was that dangerous. Take the fact that only really, really strong lay lines or nodes would support such a thing and you had Bohemia, Shangri-La, Timbuktu, Cooper Pedy, Stone City and Amazonia as the only places that could boast a compressed time complex that had to be underground and on top of a magical "node" something that was far stronger than a lay line and leaked magic like crazy. The trio, along with a few friends, a Neville Longbottom, Padma and Pavrati Patil, Fred and George Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Robert Davies, Blaise Zabini, Millicent Blustrode, Pansy Parkinson, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass and many others went there to learn, in fact all the muggleborn students in all of England went to learn there that summer.
They hid what they learned until the time came to use that knowledge and what very few would ever know is that Harry and his friends did not just hunt down the current dark lord's Horcruxes, they eradicated each and every one that was left in Great Britain. Now that great isle was free of a very evil and dark taint and hopefully the magical world would behave itself now or the only magical beings that would remain would not be human in any form, only goblins, dwarves, house elves, high elves centaurs but no humans. Officially of course the story that would be spun would be one that would show Harry as just lucky not the strong smart cunning young man he really was. Maybe in a hundred years or so the truth could come out but not now, not at this time. Dumbledore was going to get vilified but he had given permission for Harry to get the training he needed and let Severus do what he needed to stop Voldemort. Just as long as he did not have to know exactly what that entailed.
"I am aware of what he did yeah." Dwight said, "but he was a death eater."
"Not really, not fully, just as Rommel was not a Nazi." Melissa replied, "he realized his mistake nearly at once and turned spy from the first, the official story will show a far different story but that has to be the way of things for now I am afraid."
"What is the official story, I thought he risked his life for Lily Potter?"
"Yes and no." Melissa replied, "he loved Lily yes, but from what I learned about her lots of people did, she was a really good woman. He risked his life saving many good families who now live here as you well know."
"Yes I do." Dwight replied. "I am aware of that, but I cannot trust him, not fully."
"Give him a chance, I have, our English contact trusts him fully and likes him. Both he and his brother."
"Fred Weasley did not die then?" Del asked, "that is great news!"
"Officially he did, so that he can continue his work. His twin, George will cover for him back in England, along with his family."
"Good, Molly Weasley suffered far too much in the last war." Del replied, "it would be cruel to not let her know if a child of hers was still alive"
"Too right, I want you to make sure your so called reformed death eater is settling in." Dwight said, "and what your agents are uncovering with the Sturhold Mining Facility."
"Too much, too much evil." Melissa replied, "this last year I had to help take care of what was going on in England, but if we do not stop what is going on this nation has maybe twenty years left."
"That is not good." Del said, "you see that future too?"
"Yes, and not due to the so called end date, that is fake and we will make sure it stays a fake date, the Syndicate wants to make sure that the world ends or transforms to what they want, which is not what the rest of the human race wants." Dwight said.
"We will stop them, you cannot loose hope." Melissa replied.
For decades a war was going on, well it was part of the ancient war of good vs. evil and this part was one that went back to WWII when several Nazis managed to get free and worked with others like minded to create the syndicate. It was worse than anything at the time and infiltrated all levels of all governments the world over. If things continued the world was doomed and even if they were stopped Melissa believed a civil war was coming to America. Dwight was more hopeful and believed that there would be a time of darkness but that the America people would come together and end the dark and evil times before they could fully destroy the nation and world.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
So I am trying to blend both worlds here in a very realistic way. I love the X-Files and of course conspiracy type things a lot. Oh and there will be no slash in this story, at all and very little if any sex or porn (well if Mulder behaves himself but I cannot promise that) either.
I wanted to show Harry as really smart, though still the sweet willing to sacrifice himself hero we all love. Even with all he went through in cannon he still did what was right and I love him for it. Sure he had his moments (who doesn't) but he was a good, wonderful young man and I would have his back no matter what!
Again reviews feed the muse!
