My last words are, "Breakfast is from seven to nine, and Dinner is served at our place from six to eight. You are welcome anytime. We hired two elves to help Kreacher. And they are happy to feed every visitor. Now I have to leave, our first Battleship is ready for its maiden flight."
Three voices shouted, "We want to come!"
7 You are my Destiny!
I nodded, "Great, then we got everyone together."
I beamed us up in the shuttle and waited for Lavender and the Patil family. Neville and his girls took his parents and Gran with his own shuttle, Andromeda passed. Fleur was interested, Gabrielle too, Luna will pick them up and meet us there.
I arrived at Mining One and admired the view, a 2500 ft long Spaceship was shining in the evening sun… it is a brown Dwarv, it is always an evening sun. Looking at a ship that big, makes me wonder what the hell I started.
It was bloody impressive until Parvati said, "Wait until you see our Battleship, it will be three times as big."
I stood up, "I am beaming to the bridge, activate the ship, and open the first shuttle bay."
At the bridge, an impressive bridge, I sat down in the control chair and activated all systems, then I opened the shuttle bay, my voice came out the Communicators, "All clear, you can pass through the force field and enter Shuttle Bay One."
Sitting in a pilot chair is a rush, not like the ones from the shuttles, they are the bare minimum, this chair let me be the battleship, I only had to focus to see the shuttles enter the bay, I saw the other Destiny on Mining two almost completed, I saw the ship from front to back, Earth, Rigil… I can see everything in a Seven-Light-Year radius! I have to set limiters or others will lose their minds.
One by one they entered the bridge, I noticed Hannah's influence in the design, it has a lot from Star Trek in the setup, I activated the outside view mode, slowly the bridge rose from the hull of the ship and presented a panoramic view of the outside and a big part of the ship.
Uncle Frank commented, "I am impressed, this is one big ship, you can conquer Earth with one of these."
I nodded, "That is true, it is why all battleships will be owned by me and I appoint the captains as second in command. That way when one goes rogue, one word from me will let the ship return automatically. These commands are in the core of each ship and can not be tampered with."
I turned to everyone, "The shuttles however are yours to have and to keep. Eventually, you will own your own personal cruiser, a 500 ft long one. I am looking at the core leaders of Rigil right now, people I trust completely, people I hope point me to my mistakes and put my feet back on the ground."
I looked at their confused faces, "I am the only one who can process the Lantean technology, and planning to be the only leader until everyone is integrated into our new society. I fear that if I don't do this, everything will break apart and we will be in civil wars for centuries. Therefore I need people that can stop me from being the next Tyrant of the block."
That Ascended put me here so I might as well get something out of it, ALL MINE! If I let those Victorian wizards loose in space without any control, they would be worse than the Goa'uld.
Those worms can only let their eyes glow, wizards can change you into an animal, can conjure stuff from thin air, rain fire on your ass with their magic stick or in our case with our bracelet, five to ten times stronger than our wands. So better having one big tyrant than a hundred small ones.
Hermione asked unsure, "Harry? You mean that you are going to be the king of Rigil?"
I shrugged, "Name it what you want, but think, what damage can a ship like this do to a planet? One rogue captain can destroy complete civilizations, a fleet of these? In your memory is the history of our people, it was included in the first download. I added the complete History of our people in the main computer, there are examples of rogue captains and their rampages highlighted, also what happens when you give technology to people who are not ready for it? Like Earth? Check it out on your tablet."
I cloaked, put shields up, and lifted off. I mentally commanded the droids to double their numbers and start a new Destiny. I looked around and asked, "Where to?"
Lavender answered, "Earth, we need the Astra Porta."

Ten minutes later we came out of Hyperspace and on the way to approach Earth, Mr. Granger said, "Pardon my language, but that was bloody fast."
I smiled, "It can go faster, it was nowhere near the top speed." it is not bragging when it is true.
With a thought, the Astra Porta is stored, it was night and nobody saw the Astra Porta disappear. With a thought we left for Britain, a bit later I beamed the gate on its temporary place.
I commented, "This gate was used by an official organization gone rogue. Every person who comes out of this gate is programmed to be disarmed and confined in a holding cell. Once I get the address of their hideout, I will go there with a Destiny and mop it up before they can do more damage. They are stealing technology from other worlds and trying to reverse engineer it. Sometimes technology that are way over their head. They are funded by the richest people on Earth who have managed to worm their way into that organization."
Padma reported, "The Goa'uld Apophis got almost all his territories under control, then he will come looking for Earth. His Prime, he was the commander of his soldiers, defected to Earth. That is an insult he can not ignore or he will be the laughing stock of his fellow Gods. That is why we were in such a hurry to get the Destinies in space. To have an answer for his Ha'tak's because he will be coming here whether we like it or not."
I commented, "I calculated that I can control four Destinies simultaneously, we can also man the outpost on the South Pole but I want to save that ace in the hole for when the odds are too bad against us."
Uncle Frank asked, "Ace in what hole? Ah, that is a muggle expression, like a hole in one, whatever that means."
Aunty Alice summed it up, "We need more people, people we trust."
Lavender said, "We made a start by inviting the DA for dinner tomorrow, most of them accepted the invitation. We think three-quarters will jump to the opportunity."
Susan warned us, "The city is far from ready to have residents, we are still working on the Government center. If we cut a few corners, we could prepare a section by the end of next week. If we start recruiting now we will be swamped with people we can't shelter."
Mrs. Granger suggested, "You can let people know that you will recruit in a few weeks, in the meantime you can advertise by letting people visit Rigil."
I put the Destiny in a stationary orbit five hundred miles above Earth, while the others left with the shuttles, I beamed down after closing the shuttle bay and lowering the bridge back into the hull.

That evening at dinner we discussed the latest news. Fleur and Gabrielle were with us and just recovered from their first download. I apologized, "Sorry Fleur, we are making it a habit to speak Lantean, and we forgot that both of you did not have your first download. We will give you a recording of that conversation if you want."
Fleur shook her head, "Luna told me the highlights, she showed me the City, a lot of Veela will be eager to move there. This bracelet is Morgana's gift for Veela. The shield completely controls our allure, Gabrielle is twelve and enters puberty, she will have trouble controlling her allure, but this will handle it. If you allow it, I want to bring some of the elders to Rigil to show them a new hope."
Luna said, "Soon you have your own shuttle, and can let your elders see Rigil yourself. I could use some help recording the wildlife. If you know someone she is always welcome."
Gabrielle jumped on that offer, "I want to help! I can do that! Ma Sceur? Je peux rester ici?"
Fleur shook her head, "No, Gabrielle, you first ask permission from Harry, then you ask Maman et Papa."
Gabrielle was already puppy eyeing Harry, "Please, Harry? Can I help Luna? I'll work hard."
Parvati chuckled and said softly to Fleur, "I bet your Father has no defense against that. Harry sure doesn't, let's see how fast he caves in. Ah! Fifteen seconds."
Gabrielle was already asking her father for permission on the Communicator. Twenty seconds later she was cheering, "Yes! I can stay!"
Luna said, "Fleur will beam you home to get your clothes."
Gabrielle took a small box out of her pocket and smiled, "I have everything in here."
After Dinner, no "Oops" with a twelve-year-old in the room, Hermione, Fleur, and Padma discussed the Core laws I wanted. Gabrielle's computer was connected to the short-range scanner and was exploring the new planet while Luna explained what her task was.
I visited the Astra Porta and recorded the addresses they dialed lately. On second thought, I deactivated the Astra Porta, if the NID agent wants to return home they have to pass Star Gate command… and get splattered against the iris.
I beamed home and checked the planets on the ancient Gate map. They dialed a lot of addresses then lately only one, which would be the off-planet base. It is a planet close to the border of Goa'uld space… meh, I'll take the second Destiny tomorrow and pay them a visit.
The new elves, I found them with my spy… -social satellites, a DNA search was all it took, they were from a Dark family that passed through the Veil, and were happy to work again. Tabba and Mano, they still have to get used to be praised or thanked. Kreacher was glad with the help, he could ignore all the Mudbloods and Halfbloods and concentrate on the proper purebloods. Meh.
The downside of a long-range Transporter Beam? Fleur went to France to sleep. Gabrielle stayed to have the sleepover experience, the result? The girls have a slumber party and I am alone in my bed.

I started the second Destiny up, as with the first shipyard, I ordered the mining and construction droids to duplicate once more and start another Destiny. Parvati was the designated pilot today, I had to calibrate the Control Chair so that it could be used safely by everyone.
I had to tune it one-third down for Parvati to be able to fly the ship without a splitting headache. It limited her range to one Light Year. Hermione's parents came along for the ride, they got their second download and were still processing the data. I brought them along to test how squibs handle the chair on the way back.
I set the course to earth first, Parvati raised the cloak and shield, then she took off, at full speed. Five minutes later we arrived, "Parvati put us in an orbit above the place from where we beamed the Astra Porta up, and do a scan."
Dan Granger read the data, "The place is in a panic, I detect several devices with alien technology."
I thought for a bit, "Beam them up, we will drop them in their off-planet base and force them to return everything. Jane, can you erase all data about Technology on the entire Base?"
A minute later Jane reported, "Done, Harry, I copied everything before I wiped all computers."
"Well done, I did not think about that. Parvati, the course is set, we can fly to the bad guys."
Fifteen minutes later, we were in orbit above the Astra Porta of that planet.
Dan reported after the first scan, "Their base camp is one mile from the Astra Porta, I detect several alien devices and twenty people."
I smiled, "Let's scare them out of their skin, Jane, disable the Astra Porta for a few hours. Parvati, get down to two thousand feet above their camp, do the impress the natives descend, in full view with sound effects."
Parvati did a good job, we went down surrounded by burning clouds and rolling thunders, lightning flashing all around us, finally, we hovered above their head. We made a big impression, those guys were too afraid to move. My Voice boomed down to their camp, I might have made it sound like Barry White, which is more impressive than the one from an almost eighteen-year-old kid… Man.
"Criminals from the planet you call Earth!" was my opening line, my voice was vibrating through their bodies, "You have been plundering through the Galaxy, stealing from planets that are under our protection! This stops now! We have been to your planet and removed the gate you have been using. You have one chance, return everything to the planets you stole from, or there will be no more Planet Earth to return to."
Dan beamed all the weapons away and replaced them with the alien devices we took from Earth. Jane disabled all video recordings and pictures of our ship. Finally, we launched a spy satellite and a bunch of small ones to monitor their movements, each one programmed to follow and record one person's conversations and movements. With a lot of drama, Parvati took off, a major boom through the sound barrier was the last goodbye.
Dan chuckled, "That was more fun than I wanted to admit. They have been busy though, there were more than twenty different kinds of technology. I removed all research from their computers. You know, giving mental commands gets things done faster, I thought 'Remove all research' and the ship did it, 'Beam all weapons up', and it was done in a second, this ship can be scary if there is an evil one commanding it."
"Alright, now we are in the second phase of the test flight," I came back to the point, "Dan, Jane, take us home. No Hyperspace for now, a regular flight and maneuvering, I need to monitor the Control Chair's effect on your brain."
I had to reduce it one-third more for squibs, they can only handle the ship, "I have enough data, get us next to the other Destiny and lock it in a formation,"
I told Parvati, "I have to program the Control Chairs to scan the one sitting in it and adjust the output to let the person safely use the Chair."
Dan parked the Destiny next to the first one and lowered the bridge back into the hull, "It is a special feeling to fly this ship, Harry. That Chair makes it special, it was as if I was the ship, I knew what weapons it had, the shuttle we arrived in, what repair droids were on board, everything. It was a blast."
I suggested, "Next time try to connect to Jane through the Chairs, my data tells me that it is an intimate experience or a reason to break up. Compare it to the Vulcan Mind-melting. The Chairs of the shuttles are not able to do that though.
Dan and Jane looked at each other, "Take the shuttle, Harry, Jane and I have some experimenting to do. We will beam down to Earth."
Parvati grabbed my arm and said before we beamed into the shuttle, "Dan, close the Shuttle door before beaming down."
When Parvati flew the shuttle out of Destiny, she parked it in orbit, with a thought she removed our clothes and straddled me, "Fuck me fast before Dan and Jane do that first too."
Little Harry entered Parvati, I chuckled, "We are too late for that, Honey. Neville took that achievement with Hannah and Susan. But we don't need a reason to fuck, you are sexy enough to get my juices flowing," I slapped her ass, "now ride me hard horny slut, I want to hear you scream when you cum."
Parvati got excited and started moving, "Yes, Master, this cunt is craving for your rod, ravage your slut, Master, I live only for you."
I admit, we have to work on our Dirty Talk, last school year is still fresh in their minds, and using lines the Death Eaters used kills the mood completely. We got it done though, Parvati got a rough brutal shag and loved it.

Back on Earth, Andromeda contacted me, "Harry, Lord Greengrass, and Lord Davis asked for a meeting, when are you free?"
I answered, "I just had lunch, I have time until Five PM. Do you have an idea what they want to discuss?"
Andromeda speculated, "Probably to ask to join the Gray Faction in the Wizengamot, be careful what you are getting into, they have daughters of your age."
I shrugged, "I have enough girls, Aunty, I don't mind joining their Faction but not if it is too much work. What do you suggest?"
Andromeda thought for a bit, "We meet them at their place in an hour and give them the advantage of the home base, we have enough power of our own to void that."
An hour later I flooded into Greengrass Mansion, sliding twenty feet on my belly into the Hall. I complained, "The maniac that invented the Floo should be flogged."
A voice above me responded, "That would be Lord Harold Potter in 1278, Lord Potter."
I stood up and faced Lord Greengrass, "Good day, Lord Greengrass. The Floo and I are not compatible it seems, it is good I discovered a better method."
Andromeda floosered in, very elegantly, "Good day, Lord Greengrass, thank you for your hospitality, we will abide by the rules of this house."
Hmm, Isn't that a dangerous thing to say? Merlin only knows what those rules are.
"You are welcome in our Home, Mrs. Tonks, be our honored Guest." was his answer.
I sighed, "Apologies, Lord Greengrass, Dumbledore saw to it that I never learned Wizarding customs or proper manners. I will abide by the rules of this House for as long I am here."
Lord Greengrass nodded, "No harm done, Lord Potter, Mrs. Tonks explained the circumstances you had to grow up in. We are pleased that despite your upbringing you turned out to be a good person and an asset to our Society. Please, follow me to the parlor, and meet the others."
Two whole families were gathered, the Davis and Greengrass. After introductions were made, Lord Greengrass came to the point, "We asked for this meeting for two reasons, first to see if you are willing to join the Gray Faction, the other is to ask if you can remove a Family Blood Malediction."
He explained, "Three centuries ago someone cursed our main bloodline. Girls from the Main Line have a 50% chance of being born with it. My Daughter Astoria is affected by the Blood Malediction. We spent years trying to find a counter curse and spend fortunes on it, we found nothing. When we found out you removed the cursed scars from Miss Lavender and cured the Longbottoms, we hoped that you could help us too."
I looked at Astoria, then at Daphne and Tracey, Daphne saw what I was thinking and said, "No, Lord Potter, we did not fight in that battle, Tracey and I escorted the first and second years from Slytherin through the tunnel out of Hogwarts. We came back to treat the wounded, Tracey and I want to be healers."
I sighed, "I am not questioning or judging, Miss Greengrass. Frankly, I want to forget all about my years at Hogwarts."
I took my Fixer out, "Miss Astoria, do you mind that I examine you?"
After Astoria nodded, I held the Fixer in front of her and went from top to bottom, it found the curse, but not the solution. I need Atlantis here for that. The Destinies have healing beds, but my Fixer is better than those beds. Maybe the Healing beds from the Aurora are up to it… no that is the level of my Fixer. I need Atlantis.
I turned to Lord Greengrass, "I saw what was wrong, but can not yet cure her. Soon, in a few months, I have access to more powerful and modern equipment and will try to remove that curse. I can not promise I will succeed, however."
Carefully Lord Davis asked, "Can you tell us something about it? Mrs. Tonks said it was not Magic but Technology."
I thought about how much I would tell them, let's see if they can handle some truths, "After the battle I came across some artifacts from my Ancestors, three items, one was generations in my family, Dumbledore found a second one, but it was cursed by Riddle and caused his death. I found the third after the battle. A few weeks later I discovered how to combine them and this was the result."
I made my Vambrace visible, "This was once Merlin's, it is keyed to my bloodline and will not work for someone else. It contains all the knowledge of our ancestors, it goes back for over fifty million years. To be honest, compared to our ancestors, we are clumsy baboons. The traditions the Dark Faction so desperately wants to preserve are a joke. No, they spit on our ancestors' legacy."
Daphne protested, "Traditions show us where we came from, Potter! We can not cast our past away!"
I nodded, "And that is what we all did a few thousand years ago. We forgot our past and focused on our Magic, thinking that was all we needed to live."
Tracey butted in, "We can do everything with Magic! Why would we need Technology when Magic can do it much better?"
I shrugged, "Can you reach the moon with Magic? Can you reach the Stars?"
Tracey shook her head, "No, but neither can you or the Muggles."
I looked at the Lords, "Do I have the permission to prove it to your Daughters? I swear on my life and Magic that they will be safe."
Lord Greengrass looked at Andromeda for confirmation, she said, "It is safe, you can trust him. I will stay here and discuss joining the Gray Faction. Harry, be back at five."

I took three bracelets out of my expanded pocket, and handed them out, "These are for your security, in danger, they form a shield around you, they can heal wounds, and act as Wands."
I guided them through the register process, and smiled, "Now it is time to show some Technology."
With a thought, I beamed us on the bridge of Destiny One. Hmm, I need to name them sometime. I mentally commanded viewing mode only for the girls. I sat down in the Command Chair and raised the bridge from the hull, the view was great, they were fine-looking specimens… They could see Earth through the window.
I commented, "If I turn this around, you can see the Moon. Wait a bit, I'll get you a better view."
I broke formation with the second Destiny and headed for the moon, a few minutes later we were in orbit of the moon. The girls were speechless, they saw the moon! They were flying around the Moon! They were glued to the window.
I grinned, "How about Jupiter or Uranus? Wait, Saturn is more beautiful."
Ten minutes later we were orbiting Saturn, it was quite a sight, also they noticed the size of the ship, which was a lot bigger than a broom.
I grinned, "Well, Miss Davis? Do you want to travel to another Star? We will get there in about ten minutes."
I took off into Hyperspace, the girls saw the window open and the ship jumped in it, Tracey turned around and asked, "How?"
My answer shook her up, "Technology, Miss Davis, a technology from our Ancestors, can you believe that the design of this spaceship is fifty million years old? Where are your traditions from two hundred years ago now? As I said, a joke."
Astoria asked, "All this, and you can not heal me? What else do you need?"
"Atlantis, if you think this ship is big, wait until you see Atlantis. That city has better technology than I have access to now." I explained
I offered, "If you want to explore, sit in one of those Chairs, I put them in viewing mode. There is no danger for you."
Astoria and Tracey rushed to the chairs, Daphne stepped in front of me and asked, "Why do you show all this to us, Potter?"
I shrugged, "To prove a point, to show I do not need the Wizengamot for anything, to show that the era of pureblood stupidity is about to end. It gets worse, Miss Greengrass, what would happen if this technology gets into the hands of those purebloods or the Ministry? By the look on your face, you understand. Sit in that chair and think of seeing the galaxy."

We arrived at Rigil and headed to the new city, I showed it to the girls, "A month more and we can accommodate a hundred thousand people. How many wizards and witches would grab the chance to a new life? Where everyone can do Magic in public?"
Neville beamed on board, "Ah? Hello, Daphne, Tracey, Astoria. Why did you bring them here, Harry? Not that I mind, they were the good kind in Slytherin. Is there a special reason?"
I shrugged, "You can say that I was showing off a bit, and to prove what pureblood traditions are worth. What do you think, Miss Davis?"
Tracey sighed, "You were right and I was wrong, is that what you want to hear? Do you feel better now? I don't, do I have to kneel down? Or beg for forgiveness?"
I protested, "Hey! Stop guilt-tripping me! I have the right to gloat for at least one more hour! I got seven years of pureblood supremacy forced down my throat, I deserve to gloat a bit. You can't take that away from me."
Neville asked, "Are they coming to the meeting tonight too? That way Slytherin is represented too."
Daphne asked, "What meeting? A meeting about what?"
Neville pointed to the City, "A meeting to start a new life, a new future. And it starts tonight."
Astoria said, "I want to be a part of that future. This is too big, our world has nothing to offer us anymore. We are surrounded by muggles, we can hardly hide from them, we are locked up in our homes. I want to be free, to move around, to pilot big ships like this one."
She turned to Daphne, "Daphne, you heard our parents talk, what future do we have on Earth? If Lord Potter did not kill him, how long would it take for the Muggles to fight back?"
Tracey commented, "I hate to admit it, but I want that new future too. If not, we would be stuck with the traditional ones on Earth."
Neville smiled, "You have my vote, all three are welcome for the meeting tonight. I see you have a bracelet, think hard to beam to the meeting at Six, and you will arrive."
Daphne looked at me with a question in her eyes, I shrugged, "You are welcome, Neville vouched for you, that is enough for me. I'll take you back after we activate your communicators. Nev, come along or beam back?"
"Have fun, Harry, I'll see you later tonight." Neville beamed away.
Astoria pulled at my sleeve, "It is not Five o'clock, can you show us around?" blasted puppy eyes.
Xxxxx
At Four fifty-five, after I parked Destiny we beamed back into Greengrass Manor.
