Harry Potter of Atlantis
Chapter 1
Welcome to the wizarding world Mr. Potter.
Smallest bedroom, 4 privet Drive.
At a desk facing the lone window in the room, we can find a young boy writing on a sketchpad. When we looked over his shoulder, most people would be shocked to see that he is in fact writing a complex mathematical equation. Harry put his pencil down and leaned back in thought.
'So bored. Ever since Hermione went on vacation I've been so bored. Even this equation is nothing to me. What I would wish for something new, a challenge worthy of my intelligence.' He thought.
Little did young Harry know that his wish would come true, and open up paths never before touched by humanity.
Soon a tapping sound was heard, and he looked up to see an owl on his window sill, he also noticed that there was an envelope in its talons. Curious as to why such an odd occurrence was happening, Harry opened his window and allowed the owl to come him.
The owl flew in and dropped the letter on his lap before resting on his bed post. He picked up the letter and in green ink on the front it said:
Harry James Potter
Smallest bedroom.
#4 privet Dr.
Now Harry was feeling a little weirded out, he cautiously opened the envelope and two pieces of parchment fell out.
"Parchment? Who the hell uses parchment nowadays?" he said allowed.
He looked at the letter and it read.
Dear Mr. Potter.
We would like to congratulate you on being accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a school list of needed items. If you reply, just sign on the bottom and send it with this owl and we will send a representative to pick you up.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore.
Headmaster.
Now Harry was definitely feeling weirded out. Witchcraft? That wasn't even real he thought.
Then a thought came, what if it was just a prank? Yes, it had to be, maybe one of his colleagues from school decided to prank him, and deciding to play along, he wrote down yes and sent the letter off with the owl. Then he went downstairs to inform his family.
When Harry arrived in the living room, he spotted his aunt and uncle watching TV.
He didn't really like them, considering he didn't forget the way they treated him in the first years of his life. He also knew that while they were nicer to him, it was because of the prestige that came from him being a genius.
Deciding against telling them at the last minute, he walks back upstairs with a thought, 'let them discover it themselves.'
Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Headmaster's office.
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office with various teachers, minus Snape, going over some business.
"…and that's it for the library repairs, any other business?" asked the headmaster.
McGonagall spoke, "yes, we still have 2 muggle raised students that need an introduction to the wizarding world. The first is one Hermione Granger. I was think of taking her myself, since it's my turn anyways. The last is Harry potter."
Dumbledore sat in thought before he spoke, "I was thinking of sending Hagrid for Harry, but because of an unfortunate accident regarding his dog, Hagrid refuses to leave his side as he is being treated at the vet. I was thinking of going myself to pick him up…"
"I'll do it." Said a squeaky voice.
Everyone turned too looked at Filius Flitwick.
"I'll be in the ally anyway to replenish my supply of pillows for the first years and picking up some books, I'll be happy to take him."
Dumbledore nodded, "that's good, you can take him Filius, anything else?"
Not receiving an answer he dismissed the meeting before reaching to eat a lemon drop.
2 weeks later.
Harry sat in his room staring at the ceiling while mentally going over the calculations that would result from an explosion, and how long it would take before his family was incinerated.
Harry was also more than a genius, he was a sadistic genius.
The doorbell rang but Harry ignored it, thinking it belonged to one of his cousins idiotic friends.
"BOY!"
Maybe not.
Harry sighed as he got up and walked downstairs and he stopped in shock.
Therein front of his uncle was a little man, a very little man.
Harry tried hard not to laugh.
He walked over and his uncle spoke angrily.
"Boy, who is this?" he said turning purple.
Unfortunately, the little man spoke.
"My name is Professor Filius Flitwick, professor at Hogwarts, I am here to take young Harry here for supplies." Said Flitwick as if it was everyday conversation.
If it was possible, Vernon got even angrier, "BOY WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"I thought it was just a prank." Said Harry innocently.
"I'm afraid the letter was not a prank Mr. Potter. Magic is very real and so is Hogwarts." Stated Flitwick.
Harry looked doubtful, "prove it."
Flitwick happily pulled out his wand and with a little flick, the dining room table was turned into a pig, which sent the Dursleys scurrying into the living room to hide, causing Harry to smirk.
"Alright, I'm convinced, what do I need to do?" asked Harry.
Flickwick smiled, "alrighty then, first we go to London and pick up your supplies and on the way I'll explain everything."
London.
Once they arrived at the leaky cauldron, Flitwick was considerate enough to disguise Harry so he wouldn't be mobbed. Once they made it past the wall, the disguise was lifted and Flitwick started talking as they walked.
"Well, this is Diagon ally, the main shopping center in wizarding Britain; there are of course, many other places, towns even and many more around the world. First we will make our way to Gringotts to get some money. Oh, I almost forgot, here's your vault key." He said as he handed Harry his key.
Once they made their way inside, they went to the first available teller.
"How can I help you?" said the goblin with obvious disdain.
"We are here to withdraw from Mr. Potters vault, as well as to retrieve a package from you know where." Said Flitwick.
"Key please." Said the goblin.
Once he examined the key he said, "Mr. Potter, according to the wishes of your parents you are to report to your account manager immediately, he will explain things. While you do that, you and I shall retrieve the item you mentioned." Said the goblin looking at Flitwick.
"GRIPHOOK! Take Mr. Potter to his account manager."
Harry followed the short goblin down a hallway to a door that had a gold plate on it that said, "Goldriver, Potter account manager."
Harry walked in and was greeted by an aged goblin, if the lines on his face were any indication. He stood up and shook Harry's hand.
"Ah, so good to finally see you again Mr. Potter. I haven't seen you since you were but a wee little lad. My name is Goldriver; I have been your account manager since your great grandfather William Potter. Please take a seat." He said.
Harry sat and said, "Good to meet you Goldriver, please call me Harry, I hate formalities."
Goldriver nodded, "your father was the same way, in fact, and I believe all potter males were the same way." He said with a chuckle.
"Anyways, let's get down to business. According to your late parents will, you were to be briefed on your financial well being and to receive an item. You will get it later. First, at the time of your parent's death, your account held 100 million galleons, making you one of the richest families in Britain, right up there with the Malfoy and Greengrass. When your parents died, you vault was placed in a special lockdown, allowing your vault to accumulate interest for 10 years, bring you up to 200 million.
Now that you are here, you can claim your inheritance, you can sign the forums after the meeting. Your family, being one of great prestige has made several investments over the years in a wide range of businesses. Including muggle ones, giving your family a clear advantage. I can go over everything, but it would take us all year, but I have included all the information in this folder, so you can review it yourself when you have time, or bored."
He handed Harry a massively thick folder, which caused his already wide eyes to widen. Then Goldriver continued.
"You also own a considerable amount of properties, ranging from potter castle, your ancestral home, to islands around the world, from the Caribbean to Alaska. You also own several homes in many European countries and America."
Harry had a hard time not passing out from joy at the thought.
"Um, do I really need so many homes?" he asked.
Goldriver smiled, "the potter family was known for traveling around the world, so they always wanted to have a place to stay."
"Is there anything else?" Harry asked.
"Yes there is. Once you have claimed your inheritance, you will be able to start making business decisions, or appoint someone to do it for you. I suggest you go with the latter, since you will be busy with your education."
Harry nodded, it made sense, "I want you to continue running my accounts, if my ancestors trusted you, I see why I can't."
Goldriver nodded, "ok, we can do that. Now, I have several ideas we can use to increase your revenue. First, I suggest we rent out several of your homes and apartments, so that you can receive a monthly income from them. I also suggest some investments in several companies, I am well versed in both magical and muggle business, so I can do that. By my estimates, by the end of the year, we can triple your money that is already in your vault, and it will continue to grow."
Harry nodded, and gave his permission. He leaned forward to sign the documents, but not before reading them, then they had one last piece of business to cover.
Goldriver pulled something out of his pocket and enlarged it, revealing it to be a simple trunk.
"This is a trunk that was custom built by your mother; she wanted you to have it when you started your entrance into the wizarding world. It has a special security system that will scan your DNA so that only you can open it. It also has several charms and runes on it that will prevent curses, even the unforgivable, from destroying it. There are some on here even I don't understand. It also allows you to put your hand on it and say shrink or enlarge so that you can carry it in your pocket and remove it when necessary." He shrunk the trunk and gave it to Harry, who put it in his pocket.
"Also, before you leave, take this." He hands Harry a wallet.
"This wallet has a direct connection to your vault, all you have to do is say how much you need, and the money will be taken out and placed in your wallet, so that you can pay for things easier. It has a limit of 1000 galleons, so for something that costs 10,000 you will have to say 1000 galleons 10 times, ok?"
Once business was concluded, Harry left the office and met Flitwick in the lobby. He didn't ask what made Harry so happy, because it wasn't his business. They made their way to flourish and blots first, where Flitwick went to buy his supplies, while Harry went to buy his books. Harry bought all the course books for all years, including Arithmicy and Ancient Runes. He also bought some additional books like for Occlumency, which Harry wanted to learn because of paranoia. When Flitwick told him wizards can read minds, he knew he had to practice defense.
After paying for their purchases, which just funded the vacation for the owners, they took a bottomless and weightless bag and deposited their purchases there, and headed to Madam Malkins. As they were entered, they passed a pale boy with blond hair, his nose was up in the air and Harry wondered if by the face he was making if he was constipated. When they went in, Harry got the standard robes, and left.
They then made their way to potions supplies, and then to Ollivanders. When they entered the shop they found it empty, till Ollivander snuck up behind them, scaring both of them shitless.
"Ah, Harry Potter, I was expecting you today. So good to see you, I remember when your parents came in for their wands, your mothers was Willow, 10 ¼ inches, swishy, good for charms work. Your fathers was Mahogany, 11 inches, pliable, excellent for charms work. Ah, Filius, how are you doing?" asked Ollivander.
"Oh, I'm good, just showing Harry hear around and buying supplies." Came the reply.
Ollivander nodded before he went into the back to pull out a wand. He gave to Harry and took it from his hand before he could use it, "no, no, that will not do." He said.
For the next half hour they tried wand after wand, with no results, till he pulled down a box, "hmm, I wonder?"
"Try this one, its Holly with Phoenix feather, nice and supple, try it."
Harry grabbed the wand, and he felt a warming sensation fill his being before calming down, he looked to Ollivander after he said curious.
"What's so curious?" he asked, having a feeling he was not going to like it.
"Well, this wands core is a phoenix feather, and the particular phoenix that gave this feather, gave one other, only one other, and I'm sorry to say that the wand was the one that gave you that scar. If I had known what that wand would do, I would have destroyed it myself."
Harry was not happy, nor angry; he was just a little creeped out that he was holding the brother wand that killed his parents.
Once they left, they went to the pet shop.
"I suggest you get a pet or two, make sure to get an owl as one, so that it can deliver mail for you." Said Flitwick.
As Harry entered the owl section, he looked at the various owls, but one caught his attention. It was snowy white and had a sense of pride about it. He walked up to it and picked up its cage, "I like you, I can sense an airiness about you, you're smarter than at first glance aren't you?"
The owl nodded, or at least Harry think it nodded, he took the owl to the front and the owner looked surprised.
"That owl has never wanted to go with anybody, how did you managed that?" she asked.
"Guess I have a loveable personality." Answered Harry with sarcasm.
After purchasing the owl, Harry let her out and told her to fly to number 4, private drive and she can wait in the tree or go hunting. He and Flitwick then made their way back to the leaky cauldron, and seeing it was empty, decided to order some dinner.
As they sat there, Harry had some questions.
"Mr. Flitwick, I was curious, my bank manager said that my family was quite prestigious, why is that?"
Flitwick explained to him about wizarding society, including pureblood, muggle-born, and half blood status, he also explained how the law works and the government. When they were done, Flitwick apparated them back to privet drive, scaring the crap out of the Dursleys, after bidding farewell, Flitwick left and Harry went up to his room to un pack.
Once he entered his room, he closed and locked the door. He then pulled out and enlarged his trunk. Once he opened it, he saw a ladder in it, curious, he climbing in and went down.
Inside the trunk.
Once Harry emerged, he noticed that he was in a large room, up top he could see stairs that led to what appeared to be offices and a walkway. He turned around observing the beautiful windows when he jumped back. There in front of him was a giant ring, with several symbols that Harry recognized as star constellations around it.
"Astrias portus." He suddenly said, suddenly, Harry started turned around and walked up the steps, unable to stop himself. He walked down a corridor and down some more stairs and he entered a round room with a pedestal. He stepped onto the small platform and his mind cleared, giving him back control. The platform and pedestal in front of him lit up and a hologram of a beautiful woman dressed in ornate white and gold robes and with long flowing red hair and vibrant green eyes appeared.
"Hello my son, my name is Lily Evans Potter, and if I have activated that means you have come of age and are about to start your Hogwarts education. I know you may have many questions, but I'm afraid that my time here is limited, so I must use this time to explain the history of my people and to explain your existence.
I come from a race called the Alterans, but our most famous name is the Ancients. Many, many, millions of years ago, our people were involved in a civil war, and a faction of us broke off and came to the Milky Way galaxy. It was here that we found a planet much like our own; we called it Terra, or Earth. Over the course of many years we seeded this galaxy with human life, and we prospered. Then the plague came.
The plague was a disease for which there was no cure, so we built a device that was designed to wipe out all life in the galaxy, thus ending the plague. The device then would restart, re-seeding this galaxy with life once more, free of the plague. Afterwards, we gathered in our great city ships, the Triton, Avalon, and our capital, Atlantis, and we left this galaxy to find a new home. We ended up in the Pegasus galaxy, a much smaller galaxy then the Milky Way, thus allowing us to monitor things more closely.
We seeded that galaxy with human life as well, and for millions of years we watched and studied. Then we came upon a new enemy, the Wraith. They were a race of aliens that fed on humans, sucking away their life force for food. We then sent a fleet of ships to try and open diplomatic negotiations with them, but they instead attacked. For 100 years we waged war against them, and despite our superior technology, they outnumbered us greatly. Then, realizing we could not win, we submerged the city of Atlantis and took the city of Avalon back with us to the Milky Way. We hid that city, and then the rest of our people settled on earth, giving up all technology, and we intermarried into the population of humans.
That was 10,000 years ago.
Those of us that didn't marry decided to ascend. Ascension is when a person achieves enlightenment and is able to forsake their physical body and become a being of pure energy. As an ascended, we hold great power, such that I cannot list them here.
We had so much power in fact, that we had all decided that we would take a role of non-interference; we would simply watch and observe. However, there were some of us who had ascended, that had become to dislike this self imposed exile from the universe. So we re-took our human form, and we were allowed to, as long as we didn't aid any civilization with advanced knowledge or technology. It was no surprise really that most of us became teachers in history or language.
Upon discovering magic, I became curious and re-took my human form, by purposely placing myself into the womb of a woman. When I was re-born, I took on the name Lily Evans, and in order to hide my true intelligence, I did mediocre in Muggle School, then I received my Hogwarts letter.
I spent 7 years in that school, studying as much magic as I could. Eventually I fell in love with a man named James Potter. Right after graduation, he and I married, and one year later, you were born my son. I was truly happy, for in my previous life I never had children. Then, a friend named Albus Dumbledore came to me and James, and he had said that a prophecy was made concerning you.
At that time, there was a man named Voldemort who was going on a terror spree trying to conquer the world, and the prophecy that was made said that you my son will be the only wizard to have the power to kill him, or be killed by him. Me and James were distraught, so I thought hard on how I can give you the advantage my son. And I found a way.
I created a device that would take me out of phase, where I was out from the watchful eye of the other ascended; I created a device that would download all the knowledge of my people into your brain. And since you were still an unborn child, your mind would develop around the immense knowledge. I then had this trunk built in secret as well. I had expanded it to be an exact replica of Atlantis. Mind you, it is not the size of the full city, nor does it contain all the knowledge of the city. This trunk is made up of only the central tower and all its systems, but when you look out the windows, it gives off the illusion of what the full city would look like.
It is here; in this tower you can start to unlock your knowledge and prepare for Voldemort and to re-claim your birth right as leader of the Alterran people. In this tower I have given the knowledge of ships, weaponry, shields, power generators, cures for disease, and other things. Please son, use this wisely.
On another note, the giant circle you no doubt saw on your way here is called a Stargate; you will learn more of it during your studies, just thought you should know.
My image will only be used for this recording, for this pedestal does more than relay this message. Another hologram will replace mine, and it is through here that you can access all the towers systems and knowledge. The image that will replace mine is of a friend of mine; her name was Malia when she was in Atlantis. If you ever wish to see me, you can request to see this hologram again, though the message will not play unless asked. I have also included several family photos so that you can see what we look like my son.
Harry, I want you to know that even though we are gone, your father and I love you very much, and we hope that you will be able to lead a good life free of Voldemort. If you are unable, use this knowledge against him. We love you son, good bye."
When the hologram turned off, Harry was left feeling more stunned and shock then he ever felt in his entire life.
He found a chair and sat down on it, going over everything that was told to him. He was not fully human, he must destroy Voldemort somehow, if he is alive, his mother was an alien. But what really got to him, was what was making him cry right now.
'My parents really did love me. They really did.'
He sat there, and for the first time in a long time, he cried.
When he stopped 30 minutes later, he got up, and stood on the pedestal once more, this time a different woman appeared. Harry was going to learn everything he could from the gift his mother left him; he would make his parents proud.
A/N: I have several impotent things to say here, so please read this.
1: a lot of people have been asking me why Hermione is so smart, and what role will she play. Well, I can only address part of this because Hermione's life and past will play a large role in this story later on, and I don't want to spoil it.
A: Hermione is super smart because I have always believed that she had the potential in canon, but she dumbed herself down so she could have friends with Harry and Ron, and later be romantically linked to Ron. I believe that Ron was intimidated by her intelligence so she never reached her full potential. In this story, she meets Harry, who is super smart, and he helped her to reach her true potential. The other part is secret.
2: they will not earn masteries in magic, though they will have the knowledge for it because they are that smart.
3: Harry and Hermione will not be in the Stargate program, though they will be involved as an independent source. They will also fight against the Trust and the NID later on. They will also alter some aspects of Stargate canon. Most of the story will be about them and discovering the ancient knowledge.
4: originally, I was going to have Harry create technology out of nowhere, but I realized that it as un-realistic and would make him super strong. So I'm going to with Harry and Hermione slowly building up their tech power by using what is already available on earth. They are limited by what earth has, so they will work from their and expand, so don't expect to see Harry driving a spaceship in his second year cause it won't happen.
5: Harry will be sarcastic, very much so around Snape, their first scene is in next chapter and it will be good. Also, this story will feature bad language, and some nudity, though the nudity won't be till Harry's 4th year at least, if not his 5th of 6th, haven't decided when. Harry will also have a bit of a militaristic attitude in the story, especially against Voldemort, while Hermione will be the diplomat, kind of like John Sheppard and Weir from Atlantis.
6: Harry will get to Atlantis before the Stargate program.
7: I will borrow idea and aspects from people and I will give credit where credit is due. For example the city of Avalon came from the story Finding Avalon. That author gets full credit for the city idea.
8: for people, who want to see what Malia looks like, go to my profile and there will be a link that will show what she looks like.
9: the fate of Lily potter will not be answered till much later.
10: I will also go through Harry's first, second, third years very quickly because they are not really important for this story. Plus with Harry and Hermione smarter, they will figure things outs quicker.
11: Dumbledore will be a good guy in this story, and a little odd. He will be funny.
That is all, I am already hard at work on the next chapter, but it may be while before it comes out.
