CHAPTER 6

Janet looked at him "Harry as soon as the IV finishes you are done and can leave. But you should stay home and rest for a couple of days."

An hour later Harry and Sam entered the conference room and found Teal'c, Daniel, and O'Neill sitting around it. Jack smiled at their approach "Ah, they have arrived." Just as he got up to get the General, the other door opened. General Hammond walked in and sat at the head before looking at Harry. "I have asked you to sit in because you, from my understanding, ended the mission. You realize that we do not normally do this because you are not a member of SGC. Your oaths are in effect for this briefing.

General Hammond turned to look at Jack after Harry nodded his assent "Ok Jack start this off."

Jack explained the beginning of the mission, how they were surrounded by Apophis's Jaffa and then brought to his mother ship. They had been there two days when the interrogations took a turn for the worse and Jack was being forced to watch them torture his team one by one. Jack turned to Harry and that is when Harry Potter appeared.

General Hammond turned to Harry "Ok how did this start with you?"

Harry cleared his throat "I was sitting in my class when I felt Sam's warning necklace begin to buzz lightly and then it suddenly began to vibrate quite loudly which means she was in great pain."

General Hammond asked "What Necklace?"

Sam held it up "This one sir. Harry bought me one for my protection so he would know I was ok."

General Hammond asked "How did you know where she was or where to find her?"

Harry grinned "I had a tracking and locating charm placed on it and tied to mine so that if she was harmed I would know."

Jack looked at him "Impressive!"

Harry continued "When I left class, actually ran from it, I went to where I thought that Sam was. I then found myself in front your machine. It then told me I had to go through it."

General Hammond sat up straighter "Wait, what do you mean it told you?"

Daniel Jackson then spoke "He said something similar when the Gate activated on Apophis's ship. He said he told the gate to dial home and it dialed in Earth's gate address.

Harry looked at them "Why is it that you believe I did something odd? The machine and I talked… well talk is probable not the right word to use. Perhaps it is best described as we communicated what we needed and it helped me."

Sam leaned forward and placed her hand on his arm "Harry it took us almost thirty-five years to figure out how to work this. The US has been trying, on and off since nineteen forty- seven to make this work. We got it working once and lost a man doing it."

Sam breathed in "You come in here and in a minute activate it and come directly to me when I needed help. What you did was unknown to us before now."

Daniel stood up quickly and looked out at the star gate for many seconds "Dr. Jackson do you have something?"

Daniel turned around and looked at everyone "Well it's actually, as Jack calls it, a WAG."

Jack perked up and smiled "A Jackism...Wild Ass Guess!"

Sam and Daniel smirked as they looked at each other. Teal'c dead panned "I believe O'Neill that the Nerds are attempting to humor the Neanderthal."

Sam and Daniel automatically turned away to laugh and even General Hammond had to turn to hide a chuckle."

Well sir I object to this characterization because the caveman is just dumb enough to take this as a compliment." This caused everyone to have a full blown laugh."

Hammond waved over to Dr. Jackson "Continue Dr. Jackson with your WAG."

Jack wetted his pencil with his tongue and turned to Teal'c "Do I spell Wag in all capitols?" Teal'c arched his eyebrows in response. Jack turned back to his small notebook "I will just capitalize."

Dr. Jackson was now smiling "I think the question is what is different about Harry as compared to many of us that have been around the gate?"

Everyone looked unsure until Sam stood up and snapped her fingers "Harry is a wizard and he is magical." She stated to them.

Jack looked on "That does not explain why he could speak Gaould!"

Sam looked at him as did Daniel before Daniel questioned "He spoke Gaould?"

Jack leaned back "It was the exact thing that you and Teal'c speak on occasion but what do I know I am just a caveman after all."

Teal'c looked at Harry and said some sounds to him "Do you speak the tongue of the gods?" Teal'c asked in gaould.

Harry looked at him before he responded "If one kills a god then they are more than that supposed god but I am not a god so therefore, your original premise is wrong. It is just a language of a being wishing to be called a god."

Daniel's mouth fell open "Holy shit. He spoke it perfectly. Where did you learn this?"

Harry smirked "I ripped it from Apophis's mind before I killed the little shit. I kindly reminded him that hurting Sam was an automatic death sentence."

Sam blushed but Doctor Jackson said something in a complete different language that no one had ever heard before. Only Harry looked at him with shock as he then replied by correcting the pronunciation for him and then answered "It's a language I have thought to be of the ancient's." Daniel replied.

Harry answered back "They called themselves Alterran's, Daniel."

Daniel looked back "You speak their language perfectly and you now interface with their machines."

Sam jumped up "I will be right back."

Sam came back in a few minutes with an old device "We found this on a planet and Daniel and I have been studying…" she stopped what she was saying as the device began to light up and a holographic image lit up above it.

Harry stood up and jumped away from the device. It went out again. Jack sat there and stated "Holy shit!"

Daniel looked at Harry "You are an ancient."

Harry looked at him "I can't be I was born and raised on earth."

Sam looked at him "Harry interface with it. I might have a different explanation if you can interact with it."

Harry looked at her and gulped heavily. He placed his hand over the device and it lit up again and when he touched it the image above it cleared up. He closed his eyes and then opened them before looking down "It's a scanner. It was used to look at an item's chemical… no not just chemical…what its composition and energy is more the appropriate terms to use."

Harry backed up and sat in the corner "I can't be I was born on earth. I can't be an Alterran."

Sam kneeled down beside him and grabbed his face as she looked at him "No matter what we find out Harry I will always love you and want to be with you. We share too much for it to be any other way." She told him.

Harry touched her hand "How could you, you didn't know about all of this."

Sam kissed his lips "Neither did you, Harry. I can sense it, you didn't know and you never lied to me. Do you understand?" Harry looked at her and smiled before Sam said softly "Let's find out what it means together."

They both stood as Sam held Harry's hands "Sir what if the Alterran's did come to earth and what if they left something else besides just the gates?"

General Hammond asked "What Lieutenant? What else did they leave?"

Daniel looked at her and answered for her "They left their DNA. They left their descendants on this planet." He said with surprise.

Harry looked confounded "How does… oh shit. What if wizards are the descendants of their race in this galaxy?"

Sam looked at him "That would explain everything that is happening and what you are able to do."

General Hammond picked up the phone and spoke into it. "Dr. Frazier come up to the conference room with all the records, lab results, everything."

General Hammond looked down in deep thought but didn't say anything until Dr. Frasier arrived. "Dr. Frasier, this is very important and I need your full cooperation on this. I need your full cooperation from all of you." General Hammond wiped his face as he stood up and placed his hands on his hips.

"What I am about to tell you only three people on this planet know about. I am going to tell you because I am going to ask you to go against many regulations and protocols. It is necessary because of what we just learned this morning."

Harry looked almost ill "Because of what you learned about me.? Harry gave a heavy sigh "Shit, sometimes the only luck I have is bad luck."

General Hammond looked at him "There is a rogue agency in our government that is trying to wrest control of the star gate program for their own purposes. If they learn of what we know now… well let's just say that none of us will be safe."

General Hammond sat back down "If they learn about Harry we will have trouble. So the only thing we can do is erase all trace of this incident from the records."

Janet Frasier looked very confused "General what is going on?"

"Doctor Frasier, Janet, I can't tell you but I need all your records and any medical history you have on Harry. You are not to talk about, write about, or otherwise have any knowledge about Harry Potter from this point forward."

Harry sat down heavily "Just feckin great."

Janet looked at Harry and then handed the General her files "Sir, I think there is something you should know about his blood work."

Sam looked up at her and answered "It's not quite right is it. It's abnormal for a human?"

Janet looked at her "Right but I…"

General Hammond responded "I know I am asking for a lot but you must do this. Bring me all the blood samples, paperwork, or anything else you have on him. We cannot let this knowledge out of this room."

Janet answered "Sir, I know this is my first classified assignment but you have nothing to worry about from me."

Hammond looked at her "Thank you doctor. This won't be forever. Please go get those records."

Hammond stayed seated "We have to withhold all this information from our reports. The only person I trust above is the President but he has people listening in to what he hears."

Harry looked at the general "I am really sorry for all this trouble but I think I might have a solution that will make it much easier to keep this in place." Harry had everyone's attention "If I place myself under a fidelus charm and I am the secret keeper then all information about me would be lost to anybody that knew it until I allow them to know."

General Hammond looked at him "How does that work?"

Harry smiled "I would hide myself from the world and nobody would know except for me and whom I choose to let know."

Sam looked at him "You can do that, affect many people like that?"

Harry looked at her "I can include everyone that ever knew me and since I have no family no one would ever know."

Hammond looked at him "How would you live, get to your money?"

Harry answered "I would have to transfer some things and set things up so that it could work."

Hammond asked him "How long would that take?"

Harry thought for a minute "If I let Sam take the house and she would let me rent a room and I transferred some assets for her then I could have it by today."

Hammond responded "All right people let's make it happen and I need to speak to Harry alone."

Harry turned to Sam "I want Sam here for this."

Hammond answered curtly "Alone Mr. Potter and I have my reasons." Harry turned to him and a pit formed in his stomach. He nodded and kissed Sam's cheek. As they watched them leave.

Hammond turned to Harry "When you do this you can't tell anyone this secret. Not even Sam or me."

Harry responded "I can't do that General. I can't betray her like that."

Hammond held up his hand "You must until the mission I give you is accomplished. It's for her safety."

Harry placed his head in his hands "How long?"

Hammond sighed "A few months, no longer than a year."

Harry looked at him "You are asking me to risk everything I have with her. This could break her trust in me completely."

Hammond looked down "I know Harry and when the time comes to explain it to her I will be right there with you."

Harry and Hammond spent the next hour discussing the plan that Hammond had come up with. Harry did not like it but he realized the necessity of it when Hammond explained who and what they would have to expose. Harry walked out mad at everybody and especially himself.
