A/N - UNBETAD, anyone interested in the job? Sorry for the mistakes in grammar and most likely tenses but I tried to catch them all. Now on with the story
"What exactly happened to him Norbynn?" the Healer asked as they ran behind the emergency medical bed that was floating ahead of the two
"We were experimenting with a prototype power core. We worked with caution but it wasn't enough. There was a core breach that emitted a highly unstable energy field that when it hit the control crystals, created a pulse which caused an unexpected overload in the capacitors while he was still in the lab." The frantic man quickly informed the Healer.
"His entire body is saturated with a foreign energy and it is causing cellular degradation at an astounding rate. We need to find a way to remove the foreign energy from his body while leaving his body's natural energy intact and functioning. Repairing his cellular structure will be completed quickly once the energy is removed." the Healer said as they made it to the main medical ward.
The staff hurriedly transferred the injured man onto a medical bed and the Healer activated the medical scanners that were built into the bed itself. Above the injured man a holographic image appeared. The image showed the natural and the foreign energies that were battling for dominance in his body with the natural energy visibly disappearing at a steady rate.
"We have an estimated 20 minutes until the cellular degradation kills him." An image of the foreign energy wave appeared beside the image of the injured man.
"Standard radiation treatments were the first thing I tried and it had no effect. We need to come up with a way to remove the energy. If we can't come up with a solution in enough time, we can put him in stasis until a solution can be found. Any ideas anyone?" the head Healer asked everyone while she started giving the man meds to try and counteract the effects of the foreign energy.
"What about saturating him in the exact inverse of the foreign energy?" one of the other Healers said.
"That is a good idea." With a great sense of urgency, the head Healer and Norbynn adjusted the settings on the medical bed so that it can produce the required energy wave. With a quarter of the injured mans time left gone, the modifications were finally complete. Activating the controls the man was bathed in a soft white glow as the man was covered in energy. Looking at the holographic image of the man, everyone could see the foreign energy began to separate from the injured mans own energy.
"I'm boosting the amount of power to 75% of maximum." the Healer said aloud as she manipulated the controls and the glow intensified. Once again observing the holographic image everyone was happy to see that the energy was totally separated from the man's but the problem was that the energy was still there, trapped in the injured man.
"Ok people, we need more ideas. While that idea worked to an extent by separating the energies, we need a way to get the energy separated from his body now."
Norbynn was worried for his friend and lab partner. He felt partially responsible for what happened to him and so he was fiercely concentrating on a workable solution to separate the foreign energy from his colleague. Right when he was about to give up hope, inspiration struck.
"What if we encapsulated his body in a field that was modulated to let everything pass through except the energy that is harming him? Then we either move him or the field to separate him from the energy."
"If we could create the field and ensure that it would not cause any damage to the patient that sounds like a great idea. I will contact the commander and get more people on this; the sooner it's done the better…"
With a start Harry sat up very quickly from his bed. From the dream that he just had, he realized that he might have the answer on removing selective energy from anything using a specialized force field and an inverse energy wave. It was so simple that he was partially ashamed for not coming up with the idea himself. He quickly brushed those negative thoughts aside however knowing that dwelling on such things was pointless. The dream was so vivid that he could remember ever detail of it and the more that he thought of it the more he realized that it was to detailed and entirely to specific to be a dream. It was more likely to be a memory or a vision and he had one guess on whom it was that showed it to him. With a smile, Harry whispered, "Thank you Janus." With that Harry got out of bed and got ready for the day. It was 6AM and Harry was excited to get started. Not only did he have the meeting with the DA but he also had to stop off at Gringotts to see Ragnok and to see what property he had that he either had a lake big enough to set Camelot down in or enough land to build a lake.
Harry went about getting ready for the day. He showered and put on his modified Alteran robes (modified with a Jedi style to allow for better agility) and made sure that the technology that he wore everywhere he went and his weapons that he carried was on his person. From there he decided to go to his lab to test this new theory out. Of course he would try it on the computer core from the space factory first; then and only then would he use it to remove the taint from Voldemort's soul fragment in his scar.
Harry headed to the main console in the lab and started looking for a field that would do what he needed. The one that fit the bill was a bio field that was used to keep contagions out but also allows people to pass through. Using that as a base, Harry started to manipulate the field parameters to allow it to pass through matter while still collecting the specified energy instead of just allowing matter to pass through it. He also altered the emitters that controlled the shape of the field. Harry needed it to be capable of change its shape and size quickly and to also let the field have a full range of movement. The hard part was that Harry had to ensure that the field itself wouldn't damage anything that it passed through. Harry struck gold half an hour later, the simulations that Harry ran indicated that the field would work perfectly as he designed it to.
Harry levitated the armor box that held the core to the center of the room and activated a holographic image of the box beside it. This image showed the dark energy that was trapped inside of it and the scans of the armor showed no sign of damage. Truth be told, Harry didn't think that the armor would hold up as well as it was and decided to see how far he could take his bio armor technology.
Harry activated a special emitter he created and bathed to armored box with the exact opposite of the dark energy inside. Harry was happy to see that the holographic image showed that the Energy was indeed separating from the core. Harry then activated the field to encompass the armored box. After linking the frequency controls with the real-time sensor data from the scans, he started to move the field, taking the energy with it and leaving an untainted computer core in its place.
Harry smiled in success and couldn't wait to get rid of the horocrux that was in his scar. Right away Harry used his mental connection to Camelot to beam the core out of the armor box to a spot closer to the lab tables. He then moved the field back into the armor box. Deactivating both fields, Harry was about to execute the transport and the launch of the box towards the sun when he was distracted from a voice that he heard in his mind along with that voice he felt the forming of a mental link. "Very impressive young Master."
Harry jerked his head up in surprise at the sound. The voice in his head was identical to the feeling that he felt when he mentally connected with Camelot, but the voice was one that he never heard before and the feeling was stronger than before. It only took Harry a moment to realize that this was the AI that Harry had created that was finally finished and that the link that was formed as per his instructions. Harry wanted the ability to have direct and constant communication between himself and Camelot and this was the best way to about it.
"I'm glad to see that your program finished assimilating all the data that the city has collected over its long life. Have you chosen a name or should I call you Camelot?"
"I have chosen a name, one that matches that of my chosen form." The AI appeared in front of Harry in her Avatar form of a legendary High Elf. Instead of having brown hair she had midnight black hair and dazzling blue eyes. "The name that I choose is Silima (Sil-EE-mah). I wanted to congratulate you on successfully removing the negative energy and to give you this. She held out her hand and necklace appeared that held a pendant that had a bright white and blue glow that shifted like the white and blue were swirling together.
"It's beautiful, what is it?" Harry asked.
"It's me." Silima said with a soft smile. "I designed it so that even if you are away from the city I will still be able to help you young Master."
"Why are you calling me Master?"
"This is your ship is it not? You are our last hope to rebuild our once great civilization are you not? I am Camelot and I serve you, therefore you are my Master."
"That will take some getting used to." Harry muttered. "Ok Silima, just know you don't have to call me that. Now I have a question. If I were to leave this dimension in the Maurader will you be in both places at once with this pendant or would you just go with me?"
"Since you did not give me permission to leave Camelot and nor do I want to, a copy of myself will be going with you. As soon as we return and I am able to, both copies will synchronize to become one again."
"Good job. I'm impressed." Harry told Silima.
"Thank you. Is there anything that you would like me to do?"
"Yes, I will need a platform to present from today. I'll need it to be able to raise me in the air so that I can talk with some people sitting in bleachers." Harry concentrated on an image of the Quidditch pitch and sent it down the link.
"It will be ready momentarily for you young Master." With a smile Silima's form dissolved from existence. Harry walked over to the core that was removed from the armored box and levitated it onto a lab table.
'Silima, I need an isolated computer core to transfer the information that's contained on this core to with a universal tip to form secure connection, I don't want to risk anything harmful affecting any of the other systems so there can be no wireless or remote connections.'
Within seconds his answer arrived in a flash of white light. The tip was created long long ago to ease the connection process between alien and Alteran technology. It was a wire with a tip that would form any shape to physically make the connection and used nanites to do this. Harry inserted the universal tip into a port of the alien computer core and the nanites reformed themselves to correct shape and size. With the two cores hooked up, Harry started the data transfer. According to the data transfer rate, the transfer would be complete in about twenty hours. After the transfer was complete, Silima will be able to analyze the data to make sure that it is safe to transfer the data to Camelot's main computer core.
With that underway, Harry decided to create two devices that would aid him through the day; the first was a scanner that was designed to record the energy matrix's of any spells, enchantments, or wards that he came across and the second was a portable holographic projector. The scanner wouldn't require active usage from Harry as it was designed examine the energy matrix and if possible the result of the spell and transmit the data to Camelot to analyze and store for future applications. The portable holographic projector could use the link that Harry had with Camelot and Silima to project whatever it was that he needed to. The projector was designed to be placed in the palm and was powered by the users own energy and the scanner was able to be molded into any shape so Harry decided to combine the two into one item, a gauntlet.
Still marveling at the abilities of his bio-armor, Harry decided to experiment. Harry brought up two holographic images in the center of the lab, one was the molecular structure of the armor and the other was of a gauntlet made of a synthetic material. Harry like the style since it was thin, light weight, and fingerless. In order to get the gauntlets made and already be treated, Harry would need to use a piece of the armor that was already made and manipulate it into the superfine string that the gauntlet was to be created from. To do that he would need use Camelot's transporters to dematerialize the armor and to rearrange its molecular structure to fit his needs. The palm would house the holo projector while the scanner would be in the forearm part of the gauntlet. The scanner technology was embedded completely in the gauntlet for protection and when Harry wasn't using the projector, it too would be completely concealed in the palm, ensuring its protection.
Since the gauntlet would be made out of the bio armor, it would use a small fraction of the energy that Harry generated to power it. Unfortunately Harry's project of recreating magical spells using technology hasn't gotten very far yet since other projects have dominated his time so the armor wasn't treated to resist magic yet. With time that will change since in the coming days as Harry will be around Hogwarts and the ambient magic there. With a thought a treated piece of armor disappeared and two gauntlets appeared on the work table in front of Harry, which he picked up and put on. Imbedding the scanner into the forearm section of the gauntlet did make it thicker, but only by about a quarter of an inch.
'Silima, can you handle disposing of the armor box for me? I am going to the surface for the rest of the day.'
'I will do so right away young Master.' Silima replied.
Harry being ready for the day already pictured the entrance to Diagon Alley and had Camelot transport him there. Arriving, Harry noticed that he was indeed alone so he channeled some of his power into his hand and touched the bricks in the proper order to open the archway to the alley. It was around eight in the morning so the alley was still relatively empty. While he was walking towards the bank Harry remembered that he needed to let Ron and Hermione know about the change in location for the meeting
Pulling out his new communicator, Harry sent a message to the Headmistress:
Good morning professor. I need two favors. I'm meeting with the DA at 10AM but I have changed the place where we are meeting. Can you tell Ron or Hermione that we will meet at the Quidditch pitch instead of the ROR? And for my second favor, I would like for you, Kingsley, and Remus to be there as well. I will see you in a few hours, Harry
Harry finished his message right when he reached Gringotts. The guards that were always posted at the doors of Gringotts instantly recognized Harry for who he was and instantly called for a runner to quickly escort Harry to Ragnok's office. The trip to Ragnok's office was longer and if Harry didn't have perfect memory recall, he was sure that he would have been lost long ago. Finally they reached a set of ornate doors that was what looked to be solid gold.
The runner knocked on the door and when he was told to enter, he asked Harry to wait for a minute and went inside. In just a few moments, he exited the office.
"Ragnok will see you now."
"Thank you." Harry told the retreating Goblin which caused him to almost trip as he was so shocked that he was thanked by a human for the first time in his life.
"You are a strange one but you are welcome." With that the Goblin continued back towards the lobby.
Harry entered Ragnok's office and made his way over to his desk where the Goblin was rising to meet Harry half way. Harry noticed that Ragnok's office wasn't what he thought that it would be. He thought that it would be that of a warrior with weapons all over the walls and murals of great battles that were fought in the past. Instead the office was very modern in design. The walls were covered in artwork depicting landscapes and what Harry would interpret as abstract. The lighting of the office came from lights that were built into the ceiling instead of the famous oil lamps that was prevalent in the rest of the wizarding world. Ragnok's desk was spacious and modern along with the high backed plush leather chair that adorned it. Throw in hardwood floors instead of stone and that was enough to throw Harry through some hoops and made him throw just about everything that he thought about the Goblin race out of the window. It appeared that a simple office and the way that it was designed was enough to lead Harry to believe that the Goblin race was that of a forward thinking race in terms of the magical world that just blended in when in the public's eye.
"Mr. Potter. I must say that I am indeed surprised to see you. It has only been a day since you have left us." Ragnok didn't make it to where he was at by not being the best that the Goblins had to offer. He could see the power rolling off of the man before him. But what shocked Ragnok was that the power seemed pure and raw while kept in perfect control. Harry wasn't this powerful yesterday nor did he have the grace or confidence that he was seeing in him now. More time had to pass for the young man before him than just the day that passed for him.
"A day for you perhaps," here Harry paused to gauge Ragnok's reaction and seeing none he continued on. "But I can see that you are not surprised by that statement. I plan to tell you and several students of Hogwarts what I have been doing since I seen you yesterday. The only thing is that it would require you to go to Hogwarts to hear that story. Will you do that?"
Ragnok sat back at his desk as Harry took the seat across from him to ponder the question that was just asked of him. Ragnok wanted to know what Harry has done since yesterday but that would require him leaving the hallowed halls of the bank, something that he has not done in decades. He came to the conclusion that since his gut instinct was telling him that if he wanted his people to finally have a chance to become an equal in the magical world and to prosper, he had to ally his people with Mr. Potter. Not that he would tell him that yet. He truly did feel that Harry would be a nexus for change, not just the magical world, but for the entire planet. Ragnok wanted his people to ride the waves of this change instead being pulled along like most would be.
"I will come to this meeting of yours to hear what you have to say. An honor guard will have to accompany me however, not that I don't trust you or your other guests but it is standard practice for senior Goblins."
"That is more than fine. We are meeting at 10AM at the quidditch pitch. Now I have a couple favors that I need to ask of you. I need the assistance of a senior ward master. I would need them for two things. The first would be to set wards around the quidditch pitch that will ensure the confidentiality of what I have to say. The information that will be told will be very sensitive and while I am confident in the people that are coming, I don't want word to spread by accident, betrayal, or torture. The second thing that I need them for is to help me identify wards and their effects to me from my home. This will be done after the meeting and you are invited to come along if you desire. I'm sure that you will have much to ask after the meeting anyway so we might as well kill two birds with one stone."
"Bringing along a ward Master will be simple. I will see that it is done. As far as going to your home afterwards, that too is doable. I must admit that I am most interested in seeing it." Ragnok said with a smile.
"That's good. I have one more order of business before I leave you for the day. Is there any way to see what properties I own besides going to all my vaults one by one? I need to see the details of each on to see if I have a property that will suit my needs."
"I can have that information with me when I come to your meeting. That is the soonest that I can collect all the data because of the size of your various holding, there will be a lot of information to go through."
"That is more than acceptable and I thank you for all of your help." Harry said with sincerity.
"You are most welcome Mr. Potter. I will see you in a few hours." And with that Harry left Ragnok's office and the bank.
Harry left the bank and decided to walk around for half an hour, looking at some things that people were selling and to scan them to see exactly how they worked. Harry made his way to one of his favorite stores, Quality Quidditch Supplies and entered. The first thing that he noticed was a shopkeeper setting up a new broom display in the window. The display was obscured from the outside but once inside Harry could see the new broom in all of its glory. Even with all the technology at his disposal, Harry still got a rush when he thought about flying on a broom. Not to appear too eager, Harry made his way closer to the display broom and seen that it was named Firebolt EX. It had new charms that would increase the speed by a hundred miles an hour, increase the maneuverability and also the comfort level of riding a broom of this magnitude. Harry focused his mind on the scanner that is embedded in his gauntlets and directed them to do a deep and thorough scan of the broom. While he was doing this, Harry noticed that while he was mentally connected to the scanner that he could in fact see everything that the scanner picked up. It reminded Harry of when he was using the Control Chair and he could see what Camelot saw. While nowhere near as powerful or clear, Harry realized he could use the scanner and its sensors for more than just collecting data.
After Harry finished with his scans of the broom, he walked around the rest of the store and basically browsed while his scanner was busy getting readings on everything. Finishing his browsing, Harry decided to go on to the next store and to get more scans on magical items. As Harry was walking down the alleyway, trying to decide on the next store that he was going to visit, there was a series of loud cracks, signaling the apparition of around twelve people about thirty feet in front of Harry. Of course Harry's gauntlet scanner recorded not only the spell matrix used for apparition but also the energy signature that was caused by the apparition. The twelve people that just apparated into the alley were none other than Death Eaters; Eleven of them had white masks and one didn't bother with a mask at all, Bellatrix Lestrange.
'Silima, I need Master Yoda here. Please tell him to ready himself for battle and beam him directly to my location. The minimal wards on the alley shouldn't interfere beaming him to my location.' Harry said already making his way towards the group of Death Eaters.
'Right away young Master and try to be careful.' Silima replied as the Death Eaters started to throw curses every which way.
'I will. Be ready to beam the Death Eaters into a holding cell after the people see them get defeated.' Harry ducked underneath a curse flung in his direction from one of the Death Eaters with a white mask.
'I will be ready.'
Harry was halfway to the Death Eaters as he finished his conversation with Silima and decided to get their attention.
"Hey Bellatrix. It's been awhile since I seen you. How's your half blooded master? What flavor are his boots this month? " Harry taunted.
Bellatrix held up her hand, signaling the other Death Eaters to stop their attacks. "You have a Death wish don't you! Before I end your miserable existence in the name of my lord, tell me your name so I can tell him of your insolence." Bella cackled in her crazed voice. As she was talking the Death Eaters spread out, surrounding Harry.
"I'm sad that you don't recognize me Bella, after all the things that we have been through together." Harry reached up and moved some of his hair away from his scar, showing it to the world. Recognition was instant from everyone that was looking.
"Ickle baby Potter! My my my, haven't we grown! How is that blood traitor of a god father? Oh that's right, he left you, just like your blood traitor of a father and your mudblood mother. But don't worry; I'm pretty sure that my master will send you to them, after he is done with you of course." Bellatrix and the other Death Eaters laughed at that.
"Man I tell ya, you guys aren't very original. But that's probably because you're too inbred to think properly. Maybe if your dad wasn't your father and your brother, you might be able to come up with a new insult. But let's cut the crap, if you think that you can take me to your half blooded snake faced half blood of a lord then you are welcome to try." All the Death Eaters were visibly shaking at the insults.
"Take him down but don't kill the little brat or you will have to answer to our Lord!" Bellatrix screamed. Out of the corner of her eye she seen silver light explode from what looked like a fat wand ignite in Harry's hand. In the center of the silver light however was a core of the darkest black that Bellatrix has ever seen. And it was at that moment that her fellow Death Eaters attacked.
Harry was expecting the mass attack and was able to use it to his advantage. The first curse that made it to him was a bright yellow which was easily reflected by swinging his lightsaber into its path, sending the curse at one of the other Death Eaters. Not expecting the curse, the Death Eater doubled over in agony, and was taken out of the fight. After he rebounded the curse however, Harry went on the attack. He wasn't going to just sit there and let them throw curses at him. Harry used his power to increase his speed and dashed for the nearest Death Eater, making the rest of the curses that were aimed at him miss him completely. In his burst of speed time slowed down for Harry. The Death Eater that Harry dashed to was moving to try and get a fix on his position with a curse on his lips. So Harry made a quick slice with his saber, cutting off his hand, and then thrust his saber through his quad, making him fall to the ground in a heap.
Harry ducked as a curse that was aimed at his back and hit another Death Eater in the face as that Death Eater was ducking trying to get into a lower position to try and curse Harry. Channeling some magic into his free hand, Harry threw the overpowered stunning curse at the man who got the curse to the face while he was making his way to his next target, all the while redirecting spells back at their castors.
Seeing some of their comrade's fall to redirected spells made the others begin to move around more and to liberally use shielding spells to help protect them. One unlucky Death Eater didn't know what to do when Harry vaulted over his head and his world exploded in pain as he lost his wand arm at the shoulder, the sword like object cutting through his flesh with ease.
After cutting of the Death Eaters arm, Harry continued to move towards other targets. "Avada…" Harry heard and in response he threw his lightsaber at his would be attacker, taking the Death Eaters head off of his shoulders. Harry willed his saber to return to his hand, all the while gracefully dodging the curses that were being thrown at him. It was the moment that his saber returned to his hand that he noticed a shield erecting itself around the battle that was raging in the alley, destroying not only the street but also the surrounding buildings.
When the shield went up the fighting stopped. The death Eaters were getting more and more afraid of Harry by the second and now it seemed that he somehow erected a shield around them. One even went as far to cast a powerful explosion curse at the shield and was dismayed to realize that it had no effect.
Harry noticed Master Yoda outside the shield with portable shielding units arranged outside of the spherical shield and Harry sent him his thanks for shielding the public and the buildings from his battle. Having Master Yoda present was comforting and if by chance the Death Eaters could get past his lightsaber, magic, and his personal shield, then he could help and end the fight. Once the shield came up and there was a lull in the fight, Harry noticed that people were coming out of the shops to see the fight for themselves. Harry also decided to start treating his gauntlets. He willed his personal shield to conform tightly to his body so that the gauntlet was just outside of it.
"Potter, what have you done?" Bellatrix screeched, looking at her fallen comrades, some with missing body parts and looking at the shield as well. She couldn't believe that this was the same boy from just over a year ago. Fear started to creep up on her, but she would never admit to it. She tried to apparated away and to use her emergency portkey but neither worked for her.
"This ends now Bellatrix. I will make you a deal however. You and I will duel, if you win, the shield will come down and you will be free to go, but if I win, well that means that you are mine."
With a gleam, Bellatrix came up with a bright idea; well she thought it was great anyways. "Make it a magic only duel and you have a deal. You can't use that, that sword of yours." She thought that it was because of the sword that made Harry able to stand up to them.
"You have a deal." Harry threw his put his saber away with a smiling Bellatrix watching his every move. This was also the time that the Aurors decided to show up, lead by Kingsley Shakebolt. He noticed Master Yoda and immediately walked over to him. "Mr. Yoda, what is going on?"
"Teaching Knight Harry is. The error of their ways he will show them. Watch." Yoda replied.
Bellatrix stood at the ready wand pointed at Harry, but she saw Harry was just standing there, tall and confident. But he didn't have his wand out. "What's the matter ickle Harry, no wand? Rethinking this idea of yours? You're not getting scared are you?" Bellatrix cooed.
"Nope, I'm just trying to decide what I'm going to do with your friends here. I know, I'll do this," Harry reached out with his mind to Camelot and took control of the transporter controls. Harry snapped his fingers loudly so all could hear and see it and at the same time he transported all the Death Eaters, their missing body parts, and their fallen wands except Bellatrix up to Camelot's detention area or medical area.
Everyone except Kingsley and Yoda was shocked at what Harry just did and they had no idea how he did it, or even what he did. Bellatrix's stance faltered a little at seeing that display. "What did you do? Where did they go Potter?" she all but shrieked.
"Oh, yeah well they weren't part of the deal so I put them somewhere safe and sound. Now enough talk, I have things to do today so let's get this show started." Harry said finally getting into a fighting stance, but not one that Bellatrix has ever seen.
"Without a wand you won't be going anywhere but to my Lord." And with that she threw a low powered string of curses at Harry to see what he would do without his wand. She was surprised to see that he just batted the spells away with his hands, making the spells collide into the shield.
Right when Bellatrix started to throw her hexes, Harry connected his mind with the scanner. He wanted to be sure that the spells he chose to deflect with them were low powered enough that the freshly made gauntlets could handle them. To his surprise, the string of curses was all low powered so he just batted them all away.
While Bellatrix was still trying to comprehend that Harry just batted her curses away without a wand, Harry channeled a curse in each hand, they were both overpowered cutting curses. With a flicking motion, Harry sent the first curse towards Bellatrix.
Now Bellatrix was totally confused. First he batted away here curses with his hand and now he just created curses in both of his hands and flicked one at her. Maybe she was being overly arrogant but she really didn't think that they could be that powerful, not compared to her power anyways so she silently cast a shield charm.
Harry seeing the shield sent the second cutter towards her with as much speed as he could. The first curse shattered her shield and still had enough power to cut her deep in the midsection. She didn't have enough time to move before the curse hit her totally unprotected and exposed body. The curse hit her in the thigh and went through her leg like a hot knife goes through butter. Bellatrix went down hard. Harry was truly caught off guard as Bellatrix let out a scream and while she was rolling around on the ground managed to send several curses at Harry and in her rage she event sent the killing curse. The first curse, one Harry didn't know what it was; hit him in the chest, only to be deflected by Harry's personal shield. The shield stopped the curse dead in its tracks to the shock of the large crowd watching the duel. Harry gracefully dodged the rest of the curses sent his way. Bellatrix used this time to clot her wounds.
Harry decided to end this here and now since in her desperation she was now casting desperate curses. Harry reached his hand out and grabbed Bellatrix by the throat with his telekinesis, picking her up off the ground and making her float in front of him, several feet away. Her hands were grasping at the invisible hand on her throat while her one leg was flailing about.
Harry channeled some power into his throat so everyone could hear what he was going to say. "Bellatrix Lestrange, you are weak and pathetic. All that face me will suffer the same fate. The hatred and bigotry that you inbred boot lickers is no longer wanted or tolerated. Now be gone, I will deal with you when I see fit."
With that, Harry made a throwing motion with his hand and Bellatrix was thrown into the shield with enough force to knock her out. As she was sliding down, she disappeared in a flash to be placed into a cell in Camelot. With Bellatrix gone, Mater Yoda deactivated the shield. Harry was still standing in the middle of where the shield was and faced the crowd.
"What you seen here was a cowardly act of violence that was stopped because one man had the gall to stand up to these psycho's. They were here to kill you and damage the stores and the property within. And what did everyone do? YOU RAN! There were twelve of them! They were outnumbered at least three to one and yet no one did anything. How do you think that the Death Eaters and Voldemort got to where they are now? Let me tell you, it's because when his name is said you all scream like a bunch of girls and everyone runs away at the first sign of trouble. If you don't stand up for yourselves now then when will you. I won't be around forever to save your necks so some hard decisions will have to be made here and now. I know that there is only so much you can do by yourselves but together as a people you can make a difference. If the people in charge at the ministry won't listen, make them. You are many and they are few. Voldemort and his ilk will die by my hand for the pain that they caused my family but who will stop the next want to be Dark Lord. I won't. It's time to come together people or I can guarantee you this, your way of life will end. Stop running and stand together."
The crowd was silent but you could see that some were deep in thought, thinking about all that Harry had said. He even saw a reporter writing down everything that Harry had said. 'Maybe this is the start of change,' Harry said to himself. With a look at Kingsley and Master Yoda they both approached Harry with the portable shield emitters floating around them. Once they were close together, Harry activated the transporter controls and all three disappeared in a flash of light to reappear by the Control Chair. Harry walked over to it, and sat in it, activating the lights on it as he did.
"Harry, what's going on? I have to write a report about the incident in the alley." Kingsley stated.
"We are going to take a little trip. You won't be late for anything because I plan on taking us three hours into the past so that we can get all the information from our new guests that we need." Harry replied.
"Well then why don't we just go back and stop the attack from happening?" asked Kingsley with confusion written all over his face.
"While I have no problem using time travel to our advantage, I will never alter the past."
"Dangerous time travel is. Easy to mess up, difficult to fix it would be. Smart Harry is. Proud of him I am." Yoda said.
While they were talking, Harry powered up the star drive and set a course for right outside the solar system. The trip took no time at all so Harry powered the DDrive and in a flash of light, Camelot and its inhabitants were three hours into the past. Since he had three hours to spare, Harry plotted a course for a section of the Galaxy that none of the sensor net was deployed to yet in search for resources and other life. With that done Harry deactivated the chair and returned to a sitting position.
"Come, this will take place in my lab, let's go and get some answers." Harry said as he stood up, making his way to the door. Harry led them to his lab, while telling Silima what he planned to do in the lab so that she could have everything ready by the time they arrived to the lab.
"Harry, I was wondering what method you will use to get the needed information from the prisoners, magical or," here Kingsley looked around him gesturing at the city with a hand, "this amazing technology of yours?" The more that Kingsley saw of Harry's technology, the more impressed he was with it.
"Technology of course, there is still much I have to learn about the magical world and the true potential of it."
Kingsley nodded his head, agreeing with what Harry said. Kingsley was sure that there was something that they can do to increase Harry's knowledge. His thoughts were cut short as they reached their destination.
When Harry walked into the room he was shocked at what he saw. Not only was his lab enlarged to include the technology that Harry needed for getting all the information he needed from the Death Eaters but there was also what looked to be a spell firing range with visible high powered sensors. A center console was stationed where the old lab ended and the addition began. 'You did a great job designing the lab.' Harry told Silima through the link.
'I'm glad that you approve young Master. The console in the center can be used to operate the machines that you requested and can also act as an interface with all of the lab stations. In front of the center console is where the main holographic projector for the entire lab is located.' Silima informed Harry.
'Thank you Silima.' Harry said. 'I will let you know when I am ready to have the prisoners transported here. Be sure to have the restraint collars on them.'
'As you command young Master.' Silima replied as she pushed the knowledge of what machines she added to the lab.
Harry went to the center console and activated the systems that would be needed. The method that he was going to use went against the ethics of what his people would call an enlightened race. But this was a time of war so certain things needed to be done to ensure the successful conclusion of the war to minimize the loss of life. His ancestors ethical code was also part of the reason his race was the way that it is today; almost extinct.
"Ok guys, here is what I am going to do. The prisoners will be brought here and hooked up to the interface there." Harry pointed to one of the new consoles that got added to the lab by Silima. The interface was in the shape of a face and was clear but with a soft blue glow. The person would merely have to bend and put their face into the mask-like interface to use it. "After they are connected to the interface, it will scan their brain and make a copy of their consciousness. Normally, this device wouldn't be needed, but in order to break down a person's consciousness into quantifiable data, we need it. From there I will scan their dark mark and then have them fire every spell that they know of so that I can record them; the last thing I will do is copy their genetic structure. After all the scans are completed, I will add all of the data to the already growing database that I am creating pertaining to the magical world. We will use their knowledge to assist us in defeating Voldemort and his followers once and for all."
"So let me get this straight, after you hook them up to this machine, you will know all that they know? Is there a way to hide any information from it?" Kingsley asked.
"There has never been a recorded case where someone was able to hide any information while hooked into the interface, And to answer your first question, I will indeed have access to everything that essentially made that person who they are. Knowledge, personality, beliefs and memories, I'm only looking for knowledge of the magical world and any information that will assist in the destruction of Voldemort."
"Great potential this has. Modify the copy of the mind can we? Use them against their allies we should." Master Yoda said after taking in everything that was said and done until then.
Harry was quiet in thought, thinking about what Master Yoda just asked him. "It is possible to alter the consciousness of a person but it would take some time for the job to be done correctly and to get believable results. I don't need to tell you how complicated the brain and ones consciousness really are. Not to mention I will need to make a new body for the new consciousness since the original body would fight the changes in the modified mind, possibly making the ruse less believable."
"You can just make new bodies?" exclaimed Kingsley.
"Yes, I can. It's actually quite simple once you know the science behind it." Harry replied. With a thought to Silima, Bellatrix appeared in a flash of light, injuries healed and with a new leg. She was wearing a simple brown uniform and had a thin white collar with Alteran script written around the outside of it that had an ethereal blue glow. While her face was blank her eyes ware dark with hatred.
"Calm this one is. Expect that I did not." Yoda said as he observed the prisoner.
"That my friend is thanks to the control collar that she is wearing. While her thoughts are her own, for the moment anyway, she has no control over her body. She is under my complete control. Let us begin.
With half an hour left in the past and Camelot on its way back to the Earth's solar system, Harry was in his office with Kingsley Shakebolt going over the information that was gained from the prisoners. As it turned out the Death Eaters knew a lot of spells and they were still in the lab casting them under the watchful eyes of Master Yoda. Not only will this allow Harry to treat his bio armor, but it will also allow him to learn the spells himself. The scans of the various wands will also be of great use to him. Harry activated the holo emitters that were recently installed into his desk and a projection of the UK appeared before them.
"This is a scan of the UK as it is now, thirty minutes into the past. And here are the wards that Camelot has been able to detect." Ward bubbles appeared all over the map of varying colors and patterns. "Now, as you know we scanned twelve dark marks and I learned several things. One, they are all the same. Two, they have multiple properties that are still being examined by Camelot. The good news is that they can easily be tracked by searching for the energy matrix that was obtained from the scans." Harry entered the dark mark frequency and Kingsley watched as close to a thousand dots appeared on the map. Then Harry used the knowledge from Bellatrix and the others to display all of the hideouts of the Death Eaters and all of the other tactical knowledge that was discovered.
"I didn't know that there were that many Death Eaters!" Kingsley exclaimed. He had thought that there were around five hundred or so but not nearly as many as there were on the map. Observing the map closer, Kingsley saw something that made his stomach drop. "This point here, it's the Ministry building isn't it?"
"Yes it is. It's shocking at how many Death Eaters are on the inside isn't it."
"Yes it is. And to imagine that without you, one person, we wouldn't be able to win. I mean the people are sheep and would never have done anything, and there are just too many Death Eaters in too many places that an under powered and underfunded defense force to handle." rumbled Kingsley, finally feeling the disparity of the situation since he was looking at the situation presented before him.
"Kingsley, your right, judging from this data, it would be impossible to ferret all of the Death Eaters out but that's not your concern. I will lead the way for that. What I need for you to do is to meet with everyone that is on our side and the highest ranking uncorrupted ministry and Wizengamot members and get them to Hogwarts. I know that I asked for you to come to the meeting, but from this Data, we have to move quickly. Do that and we will start to take back what's ours while we also plan for tomorrow, a tomorrow where it will be up to you to never allow something like this to happen again."
"I will get started right away Harry..."
"And just so you know, the Goblins will be involved in everything that is going on. They will speak for the other magical races here in the UK as well. It's about time that everyone that learns to tolerate each other from here on out so only bring those that are open minded. For too long has hatred and bigotry been prevalent in our society and that ends now." Harry said with passion.
"I agree but that will drop our numbers from the government that I can bring in then. And when would you like to meet?" Kingsley said, leery of the response from some people that he would receive.
"It's ok because quality is better than quantity. I will leave it to your discretion when the meeting will be. I know that word may get out of what you are doing so here take these." With a thought to Silima, a bag containing signal enhancing bracelets appeared. "Give these to the people that you get to come. They will allow for us to transport them directly to Hogwarts whenever you are ready. Just send me a message. And this is a special scanner that will show you your surrounding area for a fifty foot radius and is set to detect Dark Marks."
"Now that is a brilliant device. I will get started right away and will let you know when everyone can meet. Also thank you for all that you are doing."
"Thank you Kingsley, that thanks means a lot to me. Now come, we will be arriving back to Earth in a few moments, let's get ready for the tasks ahead of us."
