The Omake Files – The Fifth Man
Outline

"Season 8"

Pemberton Family Home, England, Last Reality Visited By Harry Potter During The Voldemort-Induced Reality Hopping.

The Author had just returned from sending Harry Potter on back to his home reality and begun to type another Omake file, when he had a thought.

"Hmm, The title for TFM 3 doesn't sound right..." He pondered.

So, he opened the folder on his computer where he saved his files of the series.

On the screen there were the folders, '1 – The Fifth Member of SG-1', '2 – The Adventures of SG-1', '3 – Changes', '4 – Of Prior Magic', '5 – The Unending Odyssey', and '6 – The Ark and The Ascended'. Also, there was the 'Omakes' folder.

The names of 1, 2 and 4-6 were a play on just what those years represented, the first hinting at what Harry wanted to be.

The second at that the team were having a myriad of adventures and not really having this huge affect since, for that year, the team with Harry, sure they had Anubis to deal with, but considering the other years, that just seemed like the previous years with apophis, sokar, and the few others they had dealt with.

The fourth, the introduction of the Ori, or as the name hinted, the abilities of the Priors. The fifth, at the whole time-bubble thing and on what. The sixth alluded to just what would be involved there.

The third, 'Changes', only really said that there would be. It didn't quite fit with the theme that the names of the stories had. Aspiring to, Simply being, new dangers, something with far reaching consequences and tools and players of war.

Without that theme, it did fit... the plan of Harry joining the USAF, the change of command of both the SGC and SG-1, the changes within Harry on the whole Magic issue, then the change of location to the Ida galaxy and the Asgard for half a year, where even more changes would take place, changes to the 'asgards timeline and a few other things besides involving the Asgard too, well... it fit, but it didn't fit the theme.

Then the Author had an idea.

So, he opened the omakes folder, and created a new file and omake.

Embedded within, the author asked something that he hoped the readers would pick up on, and deliver their own ideas over the tiny yet not insignificant detail.

To round the omake off, he decided to make it a proper omake too.

USAF Academy

A tired-looking Harry Potter entered the small dorm room he had to himself. He entered, and found another wide-awake Harry Potter sat on his bed copying an essay.

"What are you doing?"

"You were too tired to write this properly. When you wake, you'll realise that what I just said was correct, so you'll spin back so you have time to get this book, remember, this book," Awake-Harry picked up the book he was talking about, making it easy for tired-Harry to identify, "from Cadet Johansen."

"T.J.? But she-"

"Just tell her that you know about Bobby."

"Who?"

"No idea. A future version of myself told me to say that."

Tired-Harry just rolled his eyes. This wasn't the first time he had given himself information.

"Okay. T.J. What did she do that made you switch to using her surname?"

"If I tell you, you'll avoid it and cause a rip in the space-time continuum."

"Don't you give me that bullcrap."

"Technically, you're giving yourself that bullcrap."

Tired-Harry was too tired to argue with that. "Point. Now if you're done, get off my bed and go home. I'm tired and I need to get enough sleep. If I miss my window to spin back, I'm blaming you."

As he was too tired to think things through, Tired-Harry did not get the various puns and jokes Awake-Harry could use against... himself... for that.

Tired-Harry went to sleep on the freshly-vacated bed. Awake-Harry left the dorm, and shortly after, was driving back to his and Daniels' place. He got the dorm room despite having his own place by claiming that it'd be better to stay on campus if he became tired from the studying.

The real reason was so that he could spend time at both the Academy and at the SGC, and do what Hermione didn't do in their 3rd year in Hogwarts – get the right amount of sleep for the amount of total personal time spent awake. Giving himself another hour or two this way so he could sleep in for another hour or three had nothing to do with why he used the time-turner that he had never told the SGC about.

He really didn't think the SGC could handle having that kind of time-travel technology (or Magicology or whatever the word was.)

On another plane of Existence, Ganos Lal was frowning.

"I thought you said he'd gain wisdom, not lose some."

"I never said that. I don't agree with this, but... not everyone agrees with doing what is necessary."

"This is?"

"I'll make sure he loses the device before he truly takes advantage of it."

"Hmm."

"He's using it to learn, much like Hermione Granger did."

"Oh. And that's okay?"

"Could be worse."

"Indeed."
