Harry Potter of Atlantis.
Chapter 2.
Potter enters Hogwarts.
1 month later.
Harry arrived at the train station and was walking to platform 9 ¾. He walked over to the between platform 9 and 10, and looked at the two.
'Since this is magic, this must be an illusion of some sort.'
He walked over to platform 9, and he touched it with his hand, hoping no one was looking at him. He smirked when his hand fell through. After taking a quick look around, he dragged his cart through and emerged on the other side and he looked on in curiosity as people were boarding a brilliant red train. He went aboard and dragged his trunk to the first empty compartment he found and put his trunk up.
He then sat down and reflected on the past month. He had spent the entire time reading ahead in his school books, finishing and memorizing the entire first year, and then he spent what time he had left exploring the tower and learning what he could.
He had discovered that his mother had used a small, yellowish crystalline power source called a Zero Point Module (ZPM), to power the runes and charms she had cast on the trunk. He had also discovered several places he could use for labs, large living quarters for himself and a dozen others, and what appeared to be a hanger bay.
In the hanger there were only 3 ships, that he later called Puddle Jumpers, because his mother called them that. He had learned that each of the 3 ships had a special rune that allowed him to shrink them and then take them to the outside world. But his best discovery was the personal cloaking device. The device was an armband made of leather but with a small triangular device implanted in it. When used, it would take the wearer out of phase, allowing Harry to be invisible. The nifty thing he discovered is that if he takes a weapon out of phase with him, the weapon can still harm others who are in phase.
He thought that was badass.
Of course there was a drawback. According to the instructions, the armbands emitted a type of radiation that is meant to keep the creatures that live out of phase away from him. However the radiation is harmful to his body, luckily, he discovered that the ancients had developed a chemical that, when injected, makes him immune to the radiation, thus allowing him to use the armband, but not letting anyone else use it when they try.
Harry laughed evilly at the implications. He currently had one of the armbands on, to use in case of emergency.
As harry was contemplating what kind of evilness he could use the armband for, the door to his compartment opened and a pale faced, blond haired boy with two dumb looking gorillas stood their.
"Hey, you're in my compartment, get out." He said.
Harry looks up and says, "Sorry, I don't see your name here, and since I don't see it, it must mean it's not your compartment, however, I am a gentleman, so I will like to kindly invite you to fuck off."
Malfoy looked enraged at harry before he walked forward and said, "Do you have any idea who I am?"
Harry simply said, "A constipated little ferret."Malfoy face went red and asked, "how dare you talk to me in such a manner, who are you to talk to your betters like that?"
"The names Harry Potter, smartest male on the planet, named number 1 most sexy bachelor of my school for 4 years running, scientist, player, soldier, etc."
At hearing his name, Malfoy said, "your harry potter?"
"I just said that numb nuts." Said harry annoyed.
Malfoy simply looked shocked, and then he said, "Well, it seems that we got off on the wrong foot, my name is Draco Malfoy."
Harry recognized a kiss ass moment when he saw one, he hated people like that.
"You honestly think I'm going to be polite and suddenly we will be friends after the way you just acted, I don't think so! Get out!" Said harry.
Malfoy looked enraged before he slammed the door and walked off.
Harry laughed, "I'm so awesome, I wish Hermione was here to see that."
His door opened again, and harry turned to see a familiar head of bushy brown hair.
"Have you seen a toad around here, a boy named Neville lost his."
"Hermione?" harry asked.
She looked closer and replied, "Harry? What are you doing here? I thought you were going on vacation to the US."
"I lied, I didn't think you'd believe me if I told you about this."
"Well, I am glad to see, it will make this place so much more fun to have you here." She said.
"I'm glad you're here to, it will be nice to have someone as smart as I to keep me company, now what's this about a toad?" asked harry.
"A person I met called Neville lost his toad and can't find him." she said.
Harry nodded then he pulled out his wand and said, "Accio toad." Suddenly a toad came flying around the corner and landed in harry's out stretched hand.
"I read early." He said.
Hermione looked at him and said, "I read early to, but I didn't even think of that."
Harry simply smiled, "that's ok Hermione, I forgive you, just don't let it happen again."
She stuck her tongue out at him before taking the toad and going off to find Neville. It wasn't long till Hermione showed back up and at across from him, she then started to talk to harry about her vacation in the Mediterrian and how she was drawing up plans to increase the efficiency of the cruise ship by 37 percent.
Harry in turn told her about his inheritance, his property, money, business investments, and even the trunk. Hermione listened fascinated by what harry was talking about. Of course, when harry went on about some of the Ancient technology, she looked doubtful. So to prove it to her, he activated his armband, disappearing right in front of her. She looked around suspicious when suddenly harry repapered holding a pair of her panties that he had stolen from her trunk. Red faced, Hermione admitted harry was right, though he had to show her the trunk that evening. He agreed.
Hermione of course was eager to look at the ship designs, being an aeronautical engineer and all.
It wasn't long till they had to change to arrive at Hogwarts, and they did in front of each other.
Once they were changed, they left the train and followed all the other kids till they heard a voice, "FIR YEARS, THIS WAY!"
They followed the voice and they met the biggest man they had ever met, "alright kids, just follow me."
They followed him down a trail and to a lake, where they all climbed into boats in 4's. Harry sat next to Hermione and across from him were two Indian girls. They all watched transfixed as they approached the castle and they climbed out of the boats. They followed the large man, who they learned was Hagrid, up to the large double doors of the castle, where they found a stern looking older witch.
"Thank you Hagrid, I will take them from here." She said.
She walked them inside and the all lined up in the great hall, all the other students watching. The old woman walked over to a door and came back with a 3 legged stool and an old hat. The hat then sang a song, but the author of this story can't remember it, so just look assume it's the same as in canon.
The old woman then pulled out a scroll of parchment and began to read off the names.
"Abbot, Hannah."
And so it continued on from there. Hermione was placed in Ravenclaw, Neville in Gryffindor, then finally she came to harry.
"Potter, Harry."
Everyone in the hall broke out in whispers as harry walked up to the hat, of course he didn't care. When he sat down he felt the hat speak to him in his mind.
"My, what do we have here? Harry potter, I have been anticipating this day for a long time. I remember your parents well, especially your mother, she was possible the most intelligent student I have ever sorted, despite her abilities to hide her talent. Now let's take a look in your mind shall we.
I see that you have the bravery of a Gryffindor, but you are also much smarter then them. Yes, your intelligence is unrivaled I see, you would do great in Ravenclaw. I see you have some loyalty, but to those whom you trust, so far that appears to belong to the granger girl, so not enough to go into hufflepuff, not yet at least.
You have the ambition and the cunning that would make Salazar himself envious. You would do very well in Slytherin, but I'm afraid if I placed you there, half the house would end up dead within the year. You are a man who doesn't start violence, but when violence is used against you, you would destroy your enemy, which is half of Slytherin. So, I see the best place for you to go would be…"
"RAVENCLAW!"
The Ravenclaw cheered loudly, while the Gryffindor table looked on in complete shock, they had expected harry to go to them.
Once the rest of the list was read, Dumbledore rose to give his speech.
"Welcome, one and all, to yet another year at Hogwarts. I have but a few announcements to make. First, the forbidden forest is just that, forbidden. Also, the north side of the third floor corridor is under lockdown, no one goes there unless you wish to meet a very ghastly death. That is all, let the feast begin!"
With that he clapped his hands and the food appeared on the tables. Harry and Hermione ate their food quietly, not wanting to appear rude after all. It was not long till the feast was over and the students filed out and headed to their dorms.
Once harry and Hermione learned that the password was knowledge, they entered and took in the sights.
The common room was decorated in a variety of different blues, ranging from Navy blue to sky blue. In front of the large fireplace were 4 sets of recliner chairs and a couch. The prefect led the first years into the center of the room and stood at attention.
"Ok first years, since you're new I will have to explain a few rules. My name is Marcus Oliver, and I'm the prefect of this house. I am also the head of the Ravenclaw house, reporting only to our head of house Professor Flickwick. Our house is different in the fact that we are ruled by 2 people, not just the head of house. In order to attain the position of leader, one must prove themselves in a variety of ways, ranging from knowledge of spells, to mathematics, to anything. Every year a new leader is elected by contest.
The students of all years elect the new leader by vote, and in order to qualify one must be very intelligent. This leads me on to our next rule.
We Ravenclaw are proud of our intelligence, we also hold the highest GPA in the school, beating all the other 3 house together. We love to read, love to learn, and love to study, well, sometimes study. So there will be no goofing off in class, unless its history of magic. We all are to pay attention in class, help other Ravenclaw who need it, etc.
Also, for a bit of fun, at the end of every year there is a contest for all Ravenclaw. At the end of the year we hold a voluntary contest, and anyone who chooses to enter has to show something they invented or improved. It can be anything from a spell creation/modification, to runes, to muggle studies. If you win the prize is that professor Flickwick will take you to get your invention patented as well as allowing to take any one book from his private library to borrow for the summer. This is of course voluntary and anyone can enter. Are there any questions?"
Harry raised his hand and asked, "what are the responsibilities of the leaders?"
"Ah good question. Well my job is to help professor Flickwick with his responsibilities in running the house since he is a busy man. I am to make sure we all behave, keep good grades, and maintain order. I can even pass new laws, but they have to be approved by the head of house and a general vote from the entire house. We are like a government, only our rules only affect our house. We can of course be elected more than once, but that rarely happens." Answered Marcus.
When there were no more questions, Marcus dismissed the meeting and everyone went their separate ways. Harry and Hermione snuck up to the male dorms and found his bed. He closed the curtains and opened the trunk. He allowed Hermione to go down first, followed by himself.
Harry then gave Hermione the grand tour, he first showed her the control room, which harry had learned was an exact replica of Atlantis and that its system controlled the entire tower. He showed her the ZPM control room; then he showed her the hanger. She was practically drooling at having an opportunity to play with the ships. And last, but not least, harry showed her the Holo room. She watched the message left by his mother, then hugged harry with tears in her eyes.
After words she activated the holo and asked Malia how many ship designs were in the database, she replied with 4, the Puddle Jumper, and Aurora class warship, a transport ship, and a mining ship. She then asked if it was possible to print out the blue prints and was disappointed to learn the tower didn't have a printer.
She then asked how can harry build these things, which the hologram responded.
"Most of our technology can be built by automatic assemblers, which are small devices that put things together according to their designs. There are currently 4 assemblers in the tower, which can be manned by human and workers." said the hologram.
"How dies an assembler work and what is a worker?" asked Hermione.
"An assembler is an interface that allows the person to interface with the device, allowing them to read the blue prints in stages and then using a method of matter energy conversion can create the device you desire. Matter energy conversion is a technology that allows one to use the energy from a power source to create matter, from food, to air, to precious metals. A worker is a robotic entity that is less advanced then a Replicator, possessing no other programming then to interface with the assembler and create the product you want created. There are 4 located in the tower; each one is the size of a human adult." Replied the hologram.
Hermione then thought for a bit and asked, "How long would it take to create a ship from the assembler?"
"with the current models of assemblers we have available, it would take approximately 1 year to create a Puddle Jumper, 4 years for a transport, 5 years for a mining ship, and 10 years for a warship." Answered Melia.
Hermione pouted, and harry didn't look to happy either.
"Is there a way to increase the ship making process?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, in order to make a ship faster you will require a Mark IX assembler. It is larger, measuring at 500 feet in diameter. Once assembled, the assembler would automatically make a shipyard where it can store the ships you produce. A Puddle Jumper can be made in a day, a transport ship in 2 months, a mining ship in 3 months, and an aurora in 1 year, depending on what you wish to add. The initial design of the aurora would take 6 months to build, not including weapons, ZPM, or advanced shields."
Harry and Hermione perked up, but before Hermione could ask how to get a mark IX, harry pulled her away, "we have to go to bed Hermione, and we have a big day tomorrow."
She pouted as she made her way out of the room.
No one noticed as the eyes of the hologram followed them as they left, nor did they notice as she disappeared in a white light instead of dissolving like a hologram should.
Ascended realm.
Melia appeared in front of the other ascended, and then one voice spoke out.
"What have you to report Melia?"
"Harry introduced his best friend to the fold, and they, or I should say, she, spent time asking about ships and energy-matter conversion technology before departing to go the bed and rest for tomorrow." She said.
The others nodded, then another voice spoke, "what shall we do? Are we to allow him access to our technology?"
There was some murmuring when another voice spoke, "we should interfere, a child should not be allowed access to such power."
That caused uproar as debate was fired off from all sides. Finally another spoke asked for the floor, and Oma Desala appeared.
"We should not interfere. Even though it was one of our own that had allowed this to happen, she had done it with the best of intentions, and done what we could not do." She said.
"That's interesting, voicing non interference from a person who interferes all the time." one voice said with sarcasm.
Oma turned to the voice and spoke, "I only interfere to help those who have earned it to ascend, nothing more. That is hardly interference. I am not influencing entire civilizations."
The first voice spoke, "Oma is right. She has not interfered to such an extent. And if we are to interfere with Harry, we will have broken our most sacred rule, it would invite others to interfere with the lives of those on the mortal plane, and we cannot take interference on a case by case basis. It is either all or nothing."
The others murmured in agreement, and then the second voice spoke, "I say we watch. We can reserve the right to interfere, but only in the most extreme of circumstances, nothing more. For this is after all, a situation we have not encountered during our millennia of existence. The rules may have to change based on the circumstances."
"We shall take a vote, we can either have non-interference for now, but reserve it for the most extreme of circumstances, or we cannot interfere at all, regardless of the consequences." Said the first voice.
Tendrils of light started to appear in different colors to indicate vote, and then the first voice spoke, "the vote says that we re-serve the right to interfere in the direst of circumstances. But no interference shall be taken unless it has been consulted by all of us. Melia, we want you to continue your observation of the boy, watch him very carefully, only show your true self in the most dire of circumstances, if need be. Till then, act as the hologram and nothing more."
Melia nodded her head before disappearing once more.
She made her way down to the surface of earth, and watched as her young charge, Harry Potter slept, wondering what the future holds for the young man.
The next day.
Harry sat at the breakfast table across from Hermione when Flickwick walked by handing out schedules. He gave harry very wide smile, seeing as how the boy made him quite a bit of money yesterday when he was sorted into his house.
Harry looked down at his schedule and spoke, "well Hermione, it seems we have transfiguration first in 30 minutes, followed by charms, double potions with hufflepuff, then we are free. Tomorrow we have herbology and history of magic."
Hermione nodded then continued to finish her breakfast, when she was done they went off to find the classroom, they wanted to be on time after all.
When they arrived, they sat up friend together at the same desk and waited for class to start. Soon, the class filled up with their fellow first years and the same woman from the sorting came in.
"Hello, my name is Professor McGonagall; I will be your transfiguration teacher for your lives here at Hogwarts. I will teach you the fundamentals of the art, from theory to practical application."
So harry and Hermione listened and took notes as she gave the first half of the class going over theory, on how one can change matter to another matter, etc.
Then during the second half she gave everyone a match and told them change it into needle.
"Remember, swish and flick." She said.
Harry held out his wand, swished then flicked, and a perfect needle was on his desk.
"Excellent work Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger, 5 points to Ravenclaw each for producing a perfect needle on the first try." Said McGonagall.
After the class, harry and the group went to their next class, charms.
When they arrived, they found the room filled with pillows and the tiny teacher standing on a stack of books.
For the first half of the class they went over theory, then came practical. Harry and Hermione were each awarded 10 points for getting the spell, Wingardium Leviosa on the first try. The other students were interesting.
Some pillows went flying across the room, some pillows came back to hit the caster, and one person missed the pillow and ended up sending Flickwick flying into the air.
When class was over they went to lunch, where two interesting confrontations would take place.
As harry was eating a grilled cheese sandwich, a shadow was cast over him, he looked up to see Draco Malfoy standing there.
"Do you mind, you're in my light." Said harry.
Draco sneered, "You think you're so smart don't you potter?"
"Why of course I do Draco, I am after all labeled a genius, 5 times over." Replied harry.
"Tell me potter, what's it like?" asked Draco with a sneer.
"What's what like? Being a genius, oh its quite fun actually. Did you know I received a government grant to build a weapon that has the potential to wipe out all life on earth? It was quite fun actually, especially since I kept trying to activate it when the government tried to stop me. Sadly my lovely doomsday weapon was destroyed because the government thought I was to mentally unstable to be near it." Said harry with a sigh.
Everyone in the great hall looked at harry like he was nuts.
Draco simply stood there with his mouth open, before turning around and walking back to the Slytherin table, the insult he was building up to was completely destroyed by the insane potter.
After lunch the first year ravenslaws went to the dungeons for potions. Harry had a sinking feeling he was not going to like this class.
When they entered the room, harry and Hermione sat in the front, waiting for the professor. Suddenly the door opened and in swept professor Snape with robes billowing in an attempt to look dramatic.
He turned around and started to speak, "I am potions master professor Snape, in this class I will attempt to teach you the fine and deadly art of potions. Assuming you are smarter than the normal dunderheads I am forced to teach, I will attempt to teach you to bottle glory and death, for potions is without a doubt the most powerful art in the world."
He finished his little speech with eyes scanning the room, when they found their target, Potter.
"Well, well, if it isn't our newest celebrity. Tell me potter, what is able to cure most poisons and where will I find it?" asked Snape with disdain.
Harry looked up with bored eyes and replied, "It is a stone called a Bezoar, and it can be found in the stomach of a goat."
Snape sneered, "tell me, what would I get if I added asphodel with Wolfswood?"
"You would get a sleeping potion so powerful it is called the Draught of living death." Replied harry.
Snape sneered; he was not happy, "10 points from Ravenclaw for breathing to hard." He said before walking to the front of the class.
Harry simply raised an eyebrow, "did you just take points for breathing"?
"Yes I did and another 10 for asking stupid questions." Said Snape.
Harry was not happy, "well, you know what, go ahead, take points, I don't care."
The other Ravenclaw looked at harry like he was insane.
"Detention potter for back mouthing." Said Snape with pleasure.
"You can give out as many detentions as you like, I won't even bother to show up for them." Countered harry.
"20 points! You think you can get out of this potter, just because you're the so called Golden Hero?" asked Snape with rage.
"No, I'm not using my fame to get out of it. I'm using my brain and attitude, and my highly evolved brain is telling my mouth to tell your primitive brain that your mouth can kiss my ass." Said harry.
Snape was sputtering with rage, "a week's detention potter."
Harry simply shook his head, "you don't get it do you? I'm not going; I have better things to do then go to detention by a rage filled ass like yourself."
Snape was beyond pissed, but knowing he was not going to get anything out of the matter, he just turned around and went to the black board.
Snape put instructions on the board and ordered the students to start brewing.
For the rest of the class, Snape prowled the room like an animal stalking its prey. He was paying the most attention to potter of course, taking points for the most absurd of reasons, like blinking, living, etc.
When the class was over, he ordered the students to bring their concoctions to the front of the desk. He was surprised when he saw harry and Hermione's potions were perfect, though he loathed to admit it, even to himself.
After classes, harry and Hermione went to go do their homework, then when they finished they made their way to the library to look up write down a list of spells worth learning.
Headmaster's office, that evening.
"I WILL NOT STAND TO HAVE SUCH INSUBORDINATION IN MY CLASSROOM! I WANT THAT BOY OUT!" screamed Snape.
The only other people there were the headmaster, Minerva McGonagall, and Filius Flickwick.
"Well what did you expect Severus? You're the one who antagonized him, you got what was coming." Said Filius, defending his already favorite student.
Dumbledore rubbed the bridge f his nose before asking, "Minerva, how was harry in your class?"
"Well, he was quite good, and well behaved. He listened, never interrupted, took notes, and answered any questions I posed to him with a nice decorum." She said.
"I say it was Severus's fault, I mean he's been going on about potter for the past 2 months before he even arrived. Then he goes and takes points for stupid things, breathing Severus? Come on." said Filius, obvious not happy with the potions master.
"Severus, try to be nicer, if you don't antagonize harry, I'm sure he won't do the same to you. Give it a try, and Filius, you know how I feel about the point's situation." Said Dumbledore.
Filius stood up in a huff, "fine!" with that he left.
As Filius walked angrily down the corridor, he was fuming on why the headmaster never disciplined Snape for his many transgressions, especially his abuse of the points system. As he was walking he heard a rattle.
He walked over to the broom closet and opened it, surprising the 2 7th years inside. One was a beautiful Ravenclaw girl while the other was a hufflepuff.
"20 points to Ravenclaw for keeping your skirt on as you do your business Liza." Said Flickwick, before closing the door on the 2 shocked students.
"Two can play the point game Snape." He mumbled as he walked down the corridor.
Yes, Mr. Flickwick can be a vindictive little man indeed.
