106. Selek

Harry glanced between the two Vulcans with a critical eye while Jim watched with barely contained amusement. Finally after a moment the wizard nodded, "Yeah, they're definitely the same Vulcan, at least physically. I'm sure that they share a few differences when it comes to personality traits, but I'd recognize Spock no matter his age. By the way, you age rather well."

Spock raised an eyebrow while Selek offered a faint smile, "I thank you for your compliment Dr. Black."

"Please, call me Harry."

"Very well, but only if you would do me the honor of calling me Selek in return."

"Sure."

"I knew you'd like him," Jim chirped although none of them were sure who exactly he was directing his statement toward. But it mattered little as they sat around the older Vulcan's home enjoying tea as they exchanged small talk. Setting his cup down gently, Selek remarked, "Jim mentioned that you and I hold similar experiences Harry, but refused to elaborate."

Harry glanced at the blond who just grinned. Shaking his head, Harry smiled, "Did he now?"

"Indeed and deducing from your reaction, he was correct. Fascinating, are you from the past or future?" Selek questioned.

"The past, the year 1997 AD."

"That is quite a gap, well over two hundred years. But you have done well to make the adjustment," he complimented, "It must have been difficult."

"It was, but I persevered in the end. After all, I had Teddy to take care of and at that point, he was the most important person in my life," Harry explained sipping his tea. Selek nodded in understanding watching as Jim and his younger counter part moved closer to Harry to offer support. The young doctor gazed at them with grateful eyes, the bottle green gleaming with emotion. His face was quite familiar to Selek and he took a few moments to sort through his memory as to why.

"If I may ask, what brought you to this time?" he questioned.

Harry seemed to hesitate glancing at his bond mates before replying, "Magic."

"Ah, I see. That explains it," Selek hummed thoughtfully, finally placing the pieces together, "You would not happen to be the Harry Potter would you?"

"How did you know that?" Harry squeaked tensing up. Even Spock and Jim seemed alarmed that the older Vulcan knew who the wizard was. Selek smiled in amusement, "I read a book once about the Wizarding World and you were mentioned quite a bit. There was even a photograph of you, but you were much younger than you are now."

"Wait, there are wizards in your universe?" Jim questioned.

Selek shook his head, "Once, but no longer. It was said that nearly a 150 years ago the Wizarding World began to appear but its inhabitants were gone. It was as if they, along with magic, disappeared without a trace. Scientists could not figure out how it happened or why. We only know of their existence due to what was left behind."

"Woah," Jim murmured. Harry nodded in agreement gazing at the cup in his hand. Perhaps that's what happened to his people now? But that wasn't right, no one knew about wizards in this universe and he still felt Magic when he lived on Earth. Yet he had never seen another of his kind and it confused him greatly. Unless of course they just died out naturally? Considering the way Wizarding society was, Harry wouldn't be surprised. They were so introverted and fearful of muggles, it might have actually killed them in the end; like a plant that wasn't meant to be in a small pot. With no way to grow and spread its roots, it eventually dies. While he wished he knew what happened to the world he protected once, Harry felt that he most likely would never find out.

"I hope I have not distressed you," Selek spoke. Harry blinked but shook his head. Offering a gentle smile, he chuckled, "I'm fine. My thoughts were just getting away from me. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter much to me. That part of my life is over and I have to focus on what I have now."

Selek nodded, "Indeed, you are wise for one so young."

"I just grew up faster than most, but I'm grateful none the less."

"Hardships help us to grow as individuals and they help us to… cherish softer times in our lives," Spock explained gently. Harry nodded and reached out to squeeze his Vulcan's hand while Jim leaned closer. Selek watched the young ones before him with fondness, thinking of his own Jim and their special moments together. And he also thought of the Harry of his universe, briefly wondering what he had been like. What if he had been sent to the future much like this counterpart had? Would he have somehow found his way to himself and his Jim? Would he have been the force to pull them together and made them complete?

Selek didn't know but he didn't feel any sort of sorrow for missed chances. You can't long for something that you never had. But he did miss his Jim and he perhaps held respect for the Harry of his universe; for the young man who fought hard to protect his people. Either way, it didn't matter in the end. This Harry had found happiness with Jim and his younger counterpart, he was glad for this. Selek knew that these young men had suffered much and now they were finally able to grasp at the happiness they deserved.

"Peace and long life my friends," he thought, "May your happiness be as eternal as the bond between your souls."
