Chapter 5
October 9th, 1998, Potter Home, Colorado Springs
"So, they asked you what you could possibly offer them if you weren't willing to be hosts and you told them that you could offer the terminally ill as potential hosts," Hermione summarized.
"Yes. Thanks to Harry suggesting it before we went on the mission," Sam confirmed.
Sam, Hermione, Harry, and their children were eating dinner talking about Sam's latest mission to seek out the Tok'ra. Technically speaking, Sam's children didn't have the security clearance to know what their mother did at the SGC. But given the fact that they were children of Alteran descent Harry and Sam saw no reason they shouldn't know everything.
"I may have another suggestion of a way we can help out the Tok'ra," Harry said thoughtfully. "We should call a meeting."
"I'm intrigued," Sam said.
"He won't say any more until the meeting is called. I recognize his look. He loves the big reveal," Hermione said.
"Fair enough. He wouldn't be a wizard if he didn't," Sam said with a teasing smile at her boyfriend.
October 11th, 1998, SGC, Main Briefing Room
"Thank you for coming. Let me make introductions so everyone knows each other," General Hammond said before going around the table.
SG-1 and Janet Frasier were present for Earth. Harry and Sam were also present. But only SG- 1, Janet, and Hammond knew that. Harry didn't feel it was the right time to meet the Tok'ra. Councilor Garshaw, Jolinar, Martouf, and Anise were present from the Tok'ra. The new host program had already begun with Earth. The Tok'ra were looking for young single hosts. The fewer living family members the better.
"I am curious as to why you called this meeting and requested one of our scientists be here," Garshaw said.
"One of our allies, the Alterans, has been putting up a satellite-based intelligence network in the Milky Way slowly," Sam explained as she activated a holographic projector Harry had loaned to the SGC for the main briefing room table. "This planet is of particular interest to the Tok'ra. It's called Pangar."
"How so," Martouf asked with interest.
"There are many symbiotes on the planet. But they are located within one facility. Upon investigating with the satellite's sensors, it was discovered the symbiotes are being bred by a single queen. We investigated," Daniel explained.
"The Pangarans are using the symbiotes to make this," Janet spoke up as she slid a vial of purple liquid across the table towards Anise. Sam then activated the holographic slide which showed the chemical makeup of Tritonin. "They call it Tritonin. It suppresses the immune system and gives the health benefits that a Jaffa or Goa'uld host would enjoy in the form of resistance to disease. Of course, the user becomes dependent on Tritonin."
"Fascinating," Anise said as she studied the chemical make-up.
"As interesting as Tritonin is to the long-term freedom of the Jaffa from Goa'uld control that isn't the sole reason for bringing in the Tok'ra," Daniel said. "I investigated the origin of the Goa'uld queen. She was recovered from a stasis jar imprisoned in a temple by Ra. It was Egeria."
The Tok'ra were visibly stunned. It took them several moments to recover. "Where is she?" Garshaw said.
"Here," Egeria said as she walked into the room. As one, the Tok'ra sitting at the conference table rose and bowed to their mother. "None of that now. Sit my children," She said as she came into the room and took an empty seat at the table.
"Are you well my queen?" Martouf asked.
"I am well thanks to our Alteran and Tauri friends. The Tauri were able to negotiate my release with the help of their Alteran friends who agreed to look at synthesizing Tritonin for the Pangeran people. I also hope it will be helpful for the Jaffa. The Alterans put me through a
treatment which has rejuvenated me somewhat. I feel younger. And the Tauri were generous in finding my host Penelope," Egeria explained.
"We are in your debt," Garshaw told the Tauri.
"We just saw your need with the zero-population growth your people experienced. Circumstances and friends allowed us to help," Daniel said diplomatically.
The meeting went on for a little longer. The overjoyed Tok'ra were eager to return to their main base with their queen and spread the wonderful news.
After the Meeting "Janet, could I talk to you for a moment in my office?" Jack called as the meeting broke up. "Certainly Colonel," Janet said with some surprise.
Janet and Sam were just talking the night before when sharing a little wine how much of a good catch the hunky Colonel O'Neill would make for someone. Janet followed him to his office. She took a seat and watched him sit down nervously.
"I just want to say that this in no way affects our relationship whatever answer you give. So, feel free to shoot this down. I find you very attractive and a wonderful person from our interactions. I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me?" Jack asked.
Janet was really surprised. She shouldn't have been. The conversation last night was very leading.
"Did Sam put you up to this?" Janet asked.
"I may have asked her advice on something. Full disclosure, I was given an amazing offer of a gift from Harry and Hermione recently. I don't want to lay too much on you too soon. I would just like to see if there could be more between us. Sam suggested that you and I would be good together. I'd be a fool to ignore her advice," Jack said.
Janet was curious. But she wouldn't pry yet. She trusted Sam completely. "I'd love to go out with you Jack," Janet said. "Oh good," Jack said with a relived smile.
Janet thought he looked very handsome when he smiled. The two talked out the details for a bit before she left. She was in a very happy mood. She did make a detour past Sam's lab to give her the good news.
SGC
"That isn't good," Walter said as General Hammond and Major Boyd stood behind him watching the results from the new probe the science teams under Major Carter had developed for SGC use.
"What does the warning mean?" George asked Walter.
"The warning is focused on this Sir," Walter said as he brought up a screen which displayed the feed from the probe.
George didn't even bother giving an order. He just went over to the PA system on the wall.
"Major Carter to the control room. And if Harry Potter is on base please come as well," George said into the intercom.
A few minutes later the pair in question came in.
"You had better see this. We just sent the probe ahead of Major Boyd's team and it gave us a warning about this. Is that the planet's star?" George asked.
"Yes Sir. It's in the process of collapsing into a black hole," Sam said in awe at what she was seeing.
"The gate needs to be shut down immediately. Once the black hole reaches a certain stage it will translate effects through the wormhole including time dilation. It could destroy the planet. I will send a probe through which will let us monitor the process even with the gate shut down," Harry said.
A more advanced probe teleported down into the gate room and went through the stargate.
"Do it," George ordered.
Walter turned off the gate.
"You and your entire team would have died if not for that new probe," Harry said to Major Boyd. "The old MALP would not have detected a forming black hole."
"He's right," Sam said with realization. "Who were the people responsible for developing the probe?" Boyd asked Sam.
"I can get you a list. I can say without his influence on the design it might not have worked so well," Sam said while nodding towards her boyfriend.
"Thank you, Ambassador Potter," Boyd said while shaking Harry's hand. "Thank you very much."
"This is why we did it. To save lives," Harry said. "Sir, if that's all we have some probe feed to analyze," Sam said. "Of course, major," George said, able to tell Major Carter was excited by the discovery.
As they started to walk Harry said to Sam, "I'm going to get you a brand new DHD and you should have a team figure out how to install it with your gate. It would have prevented that wormhole from connecting. In the future if you don't have a proper DHD you might try to dial a stargate that is already orbiting a black hole instead of just near a forming one. That would not be good."
"We'll make it a priority," Sam said happily as she thought about the data.
Harry would spend a few hours working with Sam to go over what they were seeing. The Alteran database contained an incredible amount of data on black holes including how to artificially create one. So, he was able to provide a lot of guidance. He was just happy to see Sam so excited.
SGC
"I probably shouldn't admit this given current company, but I honestly feel like I've walked into a wet dream," Harry said when he walked into Sam's lab and found her standing next to her long-haired doppelganger from a neighboring reality.
"I'll allow that only because it is very flattering for me," Sam said with a grin as Harry came up and lightly kissed her in greeting.
"Who is this?" Samantha asked. "Samantha, meet my boyfriend and the father of my children, Harry," Sam answered. "You have children," Samantha said with surprise. "Yeah. Did you have a trip to Europe right after high school?" Sam asked. "Yes. It was wonderful," Samantha confirmed. "It was. That's where I met Harry. He saved mom's life," Sam explained.
"Mom is alive!" Samantha said with surprise.
"She is," Sam confirmed. "I'm sure she would love to see you. It'll be nice having a sister," Sam said. "Assuming Harry can help you."
"Sure. It'll only take a second," Harry said.
Samantha momentarily looked like she was being transported up by the transporter. She didn't vanish from the room. When it was done she looked at her hands.
"I don't feel any different," Samantha said.
"I slightly shifted your atomic phase. Believe it or not my starship has a drive capable of transiting realities. So, dealing with doppelgangers isn't that big of a deal. Except to my fantasies," Harry said.
"You do realize Hermione can shift into me and we can have a threesome that way right," Sam pointed out.
"I never thought I would hear you say those words. I mean I realized she could do that. But I would never suggest that out loud," Harry said.
"Who is Hermione? Where did you get this technology?" Samantha asked.
"Hermione is my wife," Harry said. "And from me. It's a long story. I'll let you tell it," He said to Sam.
"It is an interesting story. How do you feel about going by our middle name Helen?" Sam asked. "It would certainly make things less confusing," Samantha Helen O'Neill said. Samantha and Jack had been married in her universe. "Helen it is," Sam said. "How would you like to stay at my place?"
"That would be great," Helen said.
"This is your place?" Helen said with surprise. "It's gorgeous."
"Money isn't really an issue," Sam said. "Are you going to be ok? I know this is a lot to take in with losing your world and your husband."
"I'm trying to process. This world is so different," Helen said.
Sam took her new sister's hand. "Let's go see mom and dad first," Sam suggested.
Helen Carter was in tears the moment she laid eyes on her mother. Linda Carter didn't have to be told anything. Harry had already given them the heads up on their new "daughter." Linda opened her arms and enveloped the crying woman in a hug. Jacob hugged Linda from the other side and she just cried harder. Soon Helen was asleep on the couch sleeping it off. She would wake up later and have dinner with the family.
"I'm surprised you didn't just go in guns ablazing and liberate her world like the canon you showed me," Hermione said as Sam was off putting the kids to bed that night.
Hermione was the only one Harry had shown his memories of canon stargate from his youth. "I thought about it," Harry admitted. "It would probably be even relatively easy to do."
"Was it just because you like the idea of having two Samantha Carter's around?" Hermione asked teasingly.
"I don't think it is a bad thing in the least. I think Kowalski being alive again is good. It may sound cold. But there are an infinite number of universes. We can't help them all nor do I believe we should try. If Helen and Kowalski went back to their world, it would just be to a world decimated. They would be spending the rest of their lives trying to rebuild. Here they have a chance to start over in a much safer world," Harry said.
"All very good reasons. But I know what you really want," Hermione said as she shifted into Sam.
"We both know what you want," Sam said as she came into the room. "I'm the luckiest bloke alive," Harry said as he looked between the two identical women. "You better believe it buster," Sam said before she kissed him. Hermione pressed herself against his other side. They didn't get to sleep for some time.
Granger Residence, Crawley, UK
"Mom, Dad, we have something to tell you," Hermione after putting down her napkin. "The meal was delicious by the way."
"Thank you honey. What is it?" Emma asked. "It's about the origin of witches and wizards," Hermione said as she glanced at Harry. "We're all ears. Don't keep us in suspense," Dan told his daughter.
"A long time ago a very ancient race of aliens called the Alterans or Lanteans as they went by then came back to Earth after losing a war in a nearby galaxy. The Lanteans had abilities that to the uninformed seemed magical. They interbred with the local humans before shedding their physical body and existing as energy," Harry explained.
"You're saying witches and wizards are their descendants?" Emma asked, quick to catch on.
"That's exactly what we're saying mum," Hermione answered.
"This sounds like something out of Star Trek. How do you know this?" Dan asked.
Both of her parents were trekkies. Hermione thought the simplest way to answer was to transport them all up to the Marauder.
"Warn a girl before doing that," Emma said in awe even as her husband stared out the bridge at Earth. "I think you had better bring us up to speed."
A while later Dan shook his head and said, "I can't believe this. This is amazing. I've always wanted to explore the galaxy and be like Star Trek."
"Yes, yes. Boys and their toys. Let's go back to the part where you had my grandbabies already and didn't tell me. I can ignore the fact that you are in a polygamous relationship. But not telling me about my grandbabies," Emma said teasingly.
"It hasn't been that long," Hermione said as she had the transporter deliver Susan Emma Potter into her arms and Daniel James Potter into Harry's arms. "I just figured using technology to deliver them faster and time dilation was best. This is when we're explaining all about that."
"Give me," Emma said as she held her hands out to take Susan. Dan accepted baby Daniel.
"About wanting to explore. The Enterprise is yours Captain Granger," Harry said as another starship came into view just then.
"I think I may die happy," Dan said as he looked over his starship just then.
"We should also mention that alternate realities are real. Harry has already taken the liberty to search out several universes where Star Trek is real. Your new starship can take you there,"
Hermione said. "We also threw twenty million dollars into your bank account and plan to upgrade your bodies before you go anywhere."
"Upgrade them how?" Emma asked.
"Make you twenty-five again and give you the ability to use wizarding powers like us," Hermione answered nonchalantly.
"Yes please," Dan said.
"What's involved in the process?" Emma asked.
"You go to sleep and wake up a few minutes later in your new cloned body," Harry answered.
"Well then hell yes," Emma said. "You give the best presents dear. I want to meet Sam, Evan, and Emma before we go on any extra-universal trips."
"That can be arranged. Would you like to meet my parents?" Harry asked. "Well this should be interesting since we thought they were dead," Dan said. "The starships come with a time drive," Harry answered. "Best present ever," Dan replied.
Rome, Italy
"You certainly know the way to a woman's heart Mr. Potter," Sam said after letting out a satisfied sigh as she finished her dinner.
"That I do. Carbs," Harry replied with a grin.
Sam had just had a freshly made plate of Italian pasta. Harry had polished off his own dish.
"You're sure I won't be paying for that later?" Sam asked.
"Quite sure Mrs. Potter. Your new physiology is incapable of storing excess calories as fat beyond a certain amount," Harry said.
Sam had just been cloned with a form genetically engineered to make her capable of a witch's abilities with a few tweaks.
"Harry, you just called me Mrs. Potter," Sam pointed out confused.
"I did didn't I," Harry said as he slipped out of his chair onto one knee. A stunning diamond ring appeared in his fingers and he held it up. "In reality you would be Mrs. Potter-Black or in formal circles Lady Black if you will do me the honor. Samantha Helen Carter will you do me the great honor of spending eternity with me as my wife? Will you marry me?"
"Yes," Sam said with happy tears in her eyes as she reached out and pulled Harry to her, kissing him soundly.
It was only thanks to the fact that they had the restaurant's terrace all to themselves that they didn't have some clapping at the romantic display. It was the perfect setting. The restaurant's balcony overlooked the sea. Harry had paid extra to rent out the entire balcony. She slowly drew back from the kiss with a very pleased look on her face. Then a slight frown developed.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked. "I'm trying to figure out how a wedding will work? You're already married," Sam pointed out.
"The way I see it we have two choices. I'm assuming you are thinking of your relatives that don't know about the wider galaxy," Harry said to which Sam nodded.
"And my friends," Sam added.
Harry returned to his chair and said, "Choice one is that we tell them the truth about the galaxy. We tell them that I am the head of the Alteran species and multiple marriages are legal in our society. You are going to have diplomatic immunity."
"Will I still be able to work for the SGC?" Sam asked. "I love my job."
"That's up to you. I have no problem with you continuing to work for them. It's going to be a fine line. I have no problem sharing the Alteran database with you. But that only applies to you. I don't want you sharing it with the SGC. Now if you choose to forgo the Alteran database for a while and continue learning on your own as you have been you won't have to worry so much," Harry explained.
"I like that idea better. Just being told all the answers doesn't sit right with me...not when I have you watching my back," Sam said. "What's choice two?"
"We simply tell friends and family about the wizarding world. I have two lordships. Hermione is already Lady Black-Potter. You would be Lady Potter-Black. You would officially be the Lady of the family Black," Harry explained.
"So, telling people about the wizarding world would be violating the statute of secrecy. Telling people about the galactic situation would be violating the NDAs I signed," Sam said. "Which is the lesser evil."
"I wouldn't think of it like that. You've seen the way the magicals treat me. They aren't going to care if I inform a couple of hundred non-magicals about the magical world. And I can smooth things over with the president. I mean with how helpful we've been," Harry said.
"I think I'd like my friends and family to know what I really do and what is really going on in the galaxy," Sam said.
"Then it's decided. I'll speak to the President. Now you just have to decide where you would like to hold our wedding," Harry said with a grin.
"I love you," Sam said. "You make all my worries go away."
"I love you too. I feel so blessed to have you, Hermione, and the kids in my life. Thank you for staying with me," Harry replied.
"Not a hardship at all," Sam said. "Now take me home. I want to celebrate properly," She whispered, her hooded eyes telling him just what she had in mind.
It turned out the president was all too eager to keep Samantha Carter working for the SGC in any form she was willing. She would be transitioned to a civilian employee of the SGC with an honorable discharge. Other than that, and her new impending diplomatic immunity nothing much changed for Sam at work. In their personal life things changed quite a bit.
They officially became one household. Harry had bought some land just outside of Colorado Springs. He built a home for Jacob and Linda on the edge of the large property. The home he had built for his new family was plenty big enough for them with everyone having their own bathroom. With house elves to clean it wasn't an issue. Commuting a little bit to work wasn't difficult when you had access to a transporter system.
Harry and Samantha began inviting friends and family. As soon as they received an RSVP this was followed up with a personal visit from the couple where the situation in the galaxy and Harry's status as head of the Alterans was revealed. Most were shocked. But all adjusted, some more quickly than others.
Tollana
The Marauder dropped into orbit of Tollana and found a Goa'uld Hatak present. Harry immediately fired upon the Hatak. It took two shots and the enemy craft's shields buckled. It exploded. The Marauder was immediately hailed from the surface.
"Attention unknown vessel. If you approach our planet any closer, you will be fired upon. This is High Chancellor Travell of the Tollan people. State your purpose," Travell said.
Harry put the video signal on his screen and transmitted one in kind.
"I am here to retrieve the one known as Skaara," Harry said even as he had the Marauder head in.
"I am afraid I cannot permit that. You were warned," Travell said before the communication cut off.
Several ion canons fired upon Harry's ship. The Alteran ship's shields were struck and absolutely nothing happened. Harry got closer and more ion canons began to fire. Harry came to a hover right over the building where his sensors told him Skaara was. The Tollan shield would prevent beam-out. So, Harry fired on the shield generator. It only took a single shot before the shield generator dropped. Harry immediately beamed Skaara out and held him in the transporter buffer. Harry then reversed course flying away at a leisurely place ignoring the ion canon fire.
"That was an epic stunt," Jack said with a grin as he finished watching the feed from the sensor drones Harry had placed in the Tollan curia chamber showing the reactions of the Tollan curia to Harry's 'attack.'
"Indeed," Teal'c said with an amused smile. "I must admit you certainly wiped the smug look off their faces," General Hammond said. "Do you think they learned the lesson you were trying to teach them?" Daniel asked.
"Oh, they learned it," Harry said. "They've already got their scientists designing ships and alternative weapons to their ion canons. They've also begun planning to build outposts and move sizable groups of their people to each."
"I'm surprised it was that easy," Sam mused.
"Fear is a powerful motivator. If I was a Goa'uld who had my level of technology, they would be wiped out right now or enslaved. The Tollan thought their technology was superior to anything out there save the Asgard and Nox. I just proved them wrong. It's a lesson we should all take to heart. There is usually someone more powerful and advanced. Even I should take heed of that," Harry said.
It was a more thoughtful group after that meeting. Harry could have acquired Skaara in easier ways. But he wanted to prove a point to the Tollan. They were being idiots. Skaara was currently Goa'uld free staying with Daniel and Sha're for a while.
Harry's Lab, Another Universe Harry opened his eyes. They were glowing white slightly.
"You held your senses in the higher plane for two minutes longer this session," Merlin reported as Harry allowed himself to relax.
Harry had been getting coached on the process of ascension from Merlin's HFR. Although the HFR could not ascend himself, he could use special sensors in the lab to sense into the artificial pocket dimension which Harry was using to practice on. By pushing his senses into the ascended realm Harry was preparing himself to use the tech they were working on creating.
"Not bad progress," Harry admitted.
"Not bad at all. You are making remarkable progress. It took some Alterans decades of meditation to get where you are. You've only been trying for a few months," Merlin said.
"Let's try again," Harry said. "Very well. But then you should rest for the day," Merlin urged. Harry nodded and closed his eyes.
Longbottom Manor
"Nev, Harry and Hermione will be here in a few minutes along with a few others. They are bringing presents," Luna announced.
Neville put down the Prophet and recognized the faraway look of his wife as her using her Seer abilities. Her Seer abilities were a well-kept secret that only her close friends knew the truth about.
"It isn't like Harry and Hermione to drop by unannounced. Is something up?" Neville asked worriedly.
"No. They want to surprise us. Well as much as anyone can surprise me," Luna said with a smile.
"Are they bringing the kids?" Neville asked curiously. "Not this time," Luna said. "Let's leave Ollie sleeping."
Oliver Longbottom was Neville and Luna's only child at this point. Neville's grandmother had retired to one of the cottages on the estate far from the main house to give her grandson and his new wife their privacy.
A few minutes later Mipsy, the Longbottom's head elf popped in.
"The guests you foresaw are here Mistress," Mipsy announced with wide eyes.
Only Luna understood why their house elf was so surprised.
"Show them in please," Luna said. When she saw Neville was about to rise after Mipsy popped out she warned, "Stay seated darling."
The reason why became apparent a moment later when Frank and Alice Longbottom led the way into the drawing room. Neville stared at his obviously healed parents as they entered room. Alice looked to be near tears and Frank looked a bit misty-eyed.
"Nev," Alice said. "We've missed so much."
"Mum, Dad," Neville said before he rose and rushed over to pull them into a hug.
Frank and Alice had to look up slightly at their son. He was a powerfully built wizard. Harry had preferred to keep himself a little leaner and well-muscled. Neville had gone for a slightly more muscled look.
"How is this possible?" Neville asked after pulling back from the hug.
"It was actually Lils that healed us," Alice said as she looked back at her best friend.
Neville looked behind his parents and gasped as he saw James and Lily Potter who he only recognized from photos standing next to Harry, Hermione, and a beautiful blonde woman.
"Only thanks to Harry giving us the technology," Lily said. "Hello Nev," She greeted her godson warmly. "I haven't seen you since you were as small as Harry."
Neville accepted the hug from his godmother in stunned silence. "Suffice it to say we have a long story for you Nev," Harry said. "And a wedding invite." Neville got his questions answered, all of them. It was a very good visit and reunion.
For the most part Harry actually left SG-1 alone on the majority of their missions. He realized that if he interfered on every little situation he would greatly impact their lives and not necessarily in a good way. SG-1 had become an amazing team after ten seasons of the canon
show. They had done so much together and grown resourceful. He didn't want to steal that from them. So, for any mission he didn't really care about impacting the outcome of he decided to leave them alone and keep an eye on them from afar.
He and Hermione mostly enjoyed just listening to Sam talk about her exploits over dinner. Time passed rapidly in this fashion.
"Very good," Harry said. "You're getting very good at that indeed," He said as he watched Sam manipulate the flight of a baseball with an outstretched right hand slowly putting it through complex patterns using what would look to other witches and wizards like wandless magic.
The naquadah in Sam's blood acted like a focus for her energy. Each evening that she was home from missions Sam was receiving private tutoring in magic from either Harry or Hermione. In addition to that Hermione and Sam were also practicing the meditation techniques Harry was using to delve into the ascended plane. They were not as adept at it as Harry. It was slower going for them.
"Thanks. It is getting easier," Sam said happily.
"I feel like you could catch a Goa'uld symbiote if it leapt at you. Pretty soon you'll be able to snap some enemy necks," Harry said.
"I think I'd rather just use a piercing curse or a ribbon cutting curse," Sam said.
"Fair enough," Harry said. "It's usually just more impressive to seemingly telekinetically snap a neck than using a curse."
"Speaking of impressive abilities what did you think of the Atoniek armbands that Anise brought last week?" Sam asked.
"They were impressive for Jack and Daniel. I was more amused by Anise's expression when you told her they wouldn't work on you because you were no longer human," Harry said with a grin.
Sam had shared that pensieve memory with Harry and Hermione.
"She did seem very curious to find out how I could no longer be human. Telling her that you transferred me into a younger genetically altered cloned body only made her more curious," Sam said. "I think she was ready to get down on her knees and worship you if she could learn more."
"Hmm...Anise/Freya is beautiful. But you and Hermione are the only ones I want worshipping me on your knees," Harry purred into her ear as he came up behind her and pressed himself against her back.
Sam felt Harry's hardness against her butt.
"Is that so," Sam said. "I think that can certainly be arranged. I think that is enough practicing for the day."
Sam slowly turned around and fell to her knees. Harry got his wish.
One slight change Harry did make to what he remembered of canon was the whole Shau'nac and Tanith incident. The only change he made was that when the Jaffa woman Shau'nac was "killed" by Tanith, Harry faked it. Tanith thought he had succeeded in killing Shau'nac. But all he had done was kill a golem of Shau'nac that had never been sentient. The real Shau'nac was watching behind a disillusionment charm standing perfectly still and silenced. Teal'c was happily with Ishta. In fact, Ishta would often spend the night at Teal'c's home on Earth or he would spend the night with her on her world. That didn't mean Teal'c wanted any harm to come to his former flame in Shau'nac.
"And so it begins," Harry said as he felt the time loop begin.
It was the events of the canon episode Window of Opportunity. When Jack and Daniel got caught in the time loop, Harry had decided not to stop them. Instead he had taken precautions to make himself also aware.
Stargate Command Gate Room
"Ambassador Potter," General Hammond's stern tone came over the speaker in the room. "What do you think you are doing?"
"I'm getting a fantastic blowjob George," Harry said as Hermione knelt before him on the ramp of the Stargate.
Harry had just enough time to finish before the time loop reset.
Stargate Command Gate Room, Next Loop
"Ambassador Potter," General Hammond's stern tone came over the speaker in the room. "What do you think you are doing?"
"I'm getting a fantastic blowjob George," Harry said as Sam knelt before him on the ramp of the Stargate.
Harry had just enough time to finish before the time loop reset.
Stargate Command, General Hammond's Office
"Ambassador Potter," General Hammond's stern tone came from his office doorway. "What do you think you are doing?"
"I'm feeling the most wonderful feeling of this gorgeous ass wrapped around my dick George," Harry said as Sam bounced her butt up and down on his shaft.
Harry had just enough time to finish before the time loop reset, Sam losing it at the same time as him. The sight of her boss before her set her off even more.
Harry satisfied every single fantasy he had had using that machine about any woman from the Stargate series. He was exceptionally good at talking his way into a woman's panties. He felt absolutely no remorse since after the loops were over none of it would have happened as far as others were concerned. There were even some fantasies about Lily Potter and Alice Longbottom he had satisfied. He had manipulated the range of the device before-hand to make certain that particular planets were included. He slept with Ishta, Sha're, Janet, Helen & Sam & Hermione, Linda Carter, and many more. Harry struggled with himself to summon the willpower to turn the machine off. But eventually he did. He reserved the right to turn it back on later. Harry would be able to relive those memories complete with sensations later thanks to the improved pensieves he had access to. It was good to be him.
One incident that Harry meddled a bit in was the canon episode known as The Curse. This was where Daniel's old girlfriend Sarah Gardner was taken as host for the Goa'uld symbiote Osiris. It was during the scene where SG-1 was trying to apprehend Osiris that things went differently.
Egypt, Temple of Osiris
Osiris had been stunned when the blonde woman who had been pursuing her managed to erect a visibly glowing energy shield that deflected the strike from Osiris' karakesh. Osiris tried overpowering the karakesh beam, increasing the strength of the attack.
"Bow before your god," Osiris said.
"I don't bow," Sam said. Then she smirked and said, "Now getting on my knees is a different story. I'll do that for only one man and he's standing right behind you."
Osiris froze as she felt the petrification spell paralyze her body.
"Stupid snake. Soon enough we'll have you out of Sarah. Maybe I'll let her smash you," Harry whispered in Osiris' ear before stunning her. Harry conjured ropes around Osiris and proceeded to use the transporter to remove the symbiote. Then he rubbed his hands together and said, "Finally, time to get some vindication for Daniel."
Several Days Later, General Hammond's Office
"Have you given any thought to your future Miss Gardner?" George asked Sarah.
She was given a clean bill of health after extensive testing.
"You mean now that Doctor Jordan is dead?" Sarah asked.
"I mean now that you know all you do of the galaxy and about the true history of the world," George said.
It was just Sarah and George talking.
"I've been thinking about it a lot actually. I sense you have an offer of some sort," Sarah said curiously.
"Ambassador Potter convinced the President to allow Dr. Jackson to begin releasing papers with proof of some finds that are going to suggest some very startling things. The President isn't quite ready for Disclosure. But he wants to build up to it and position it so that Doctor Jackson is proven correct to the scientific community," George explained. "Doctor Jackson would like you to work on his team."
Sarah was inwardly surprised given their romantic past and the fact that Daniel was now married. "I...could I have some time to think about it?" Sarah asked. "Of course," George said. "You might want to talk to Daniel." "I'll do that," Sarah said as she rose to leave, sensing the meeting was over.
Sarah's conversation with Daniel didn't go at all like she expected. He invited her to have dinner with he and his wife. Daniel had said that Sha're insisted.
Harry had discovered while fulfilling his fantasy about Sha're that she was very sexually submissive and was into both men and women. It had been Harry who had planted the thought in Sha're's head of what fun Sha're could have with her husband and Sarah. It had been a simple thought, no pressure behind it. Sha're's mind had taken it from there. Harry sensed Daniel was in for much happiness in the near future. Abydos held none of the cultural taboos about sharing that Earth did.
Another time Harry had decided to meddle was during the incident a few months later when Sam met a brilliant but bored Air Force cadet Jennifer Hailey. After Jennifer returned from her first off world mission Harry had a conversation with General Hammond. Harry basically said that he thought Sam could use a lab assistant. That was all it had taken for Jennifer Hailey to be put on a new path. She was assigned tutors in her Academy materials and then spent the rest of her time working for Sam. Harry had no intention of making a move on Jennifer Hailey. But it certainly sparked some interesting roleplay in the bedroom for Harry, Hermione, and Sam.
Warning A Little Smuttiness
"That's it my little bitch," Sam said as she gently grasped Hermione's head. Hermione was currently in the form of Jennifer Hailey. "Suck my husband's big thick dick. I can feel you eying him all the time."
"Fuck," Harry groaned as his dick was buried down his partner's throat.
"Do you like fucking my assistant's throat Harry?" Sam asked. "I bet you're going to love fucking her ass next," She said as she smacked the other woman's ass. "This little slut will love it just as much as I do."
The events that would have happened with the canon episode Entity never happened in this universe. This was for two reasons. In the first place the SGC dialing computer wouldn't allow it to connect to the planet in question. In the second place, Sam's upgraded physiology wouldn't allow this type of lifeform to possess her. Harry actually went ahead and did an update to the gate network which prevented any outgoing wormholes from dialing into the planet in question. If the energy lifeforms that lived there ever decided to dial out that was their own prerogative.
"You know when you said you needed a lift home I thought you meant our galaxy," Harry said as he holographically appeared on the Goa'uld Hatak that Earth had recently acquired and loaned to the Tok'ra.
"She just called you a few minutes ago," Jack said. "Just how fast is your ship?" "Fast," Harry answered. "What is the situation?"
"The situation is we were thrown into this galaxy because we went into hyperspace just as Vorash's star went supernova. Apophis' fleet was destroyed. But his mothership was also in hyperspace. I don't believe it came out of hyperspace near here," Sam said.
"This is replicator territory," Harry said. "Let's get the hell out of here," He said even as the Marauder latched onto the Hatak and began towing it through hyperspace.
"What is a replicator?" Daniel asked.
"A robotic lifeform that consumes more advanced technology and replicates itself without end. They kill when attacked. But even if they don't attack first they end up consuming most resources and kill through depriving biological organisms of what is needed to survive. Up until I showed up on the galactic scene they were kicking the Asgard's asses," Harry said.
"And you did what, kicked their spidery asses?" Jack asked as he examined the hologram of a replicator.
"I pushed them back. Right now, they are leaving Asgard space alone while remaining in their territory. If Apophis runs afoul of them he may end up dead," Harry said.
"How long will our journey home take Harry Potter?" Teal'c asked into the silence that explanation had caused.
"Towing your ship will cause it to take about an hour if I don't want to put too much strain on the Marauder's engines," Harry said.
"That is a lot better than the 125 years it would have taken this ship's engines," Daniel said. The others couldn't help but agree.
Velona
The moment Sam entered the weapon chamber on the planet Velona she sensed the presence of the Ascended being. She immediately triggered the panic button feature of her communicator. Within thirty seconds she sensed the presence of the Marauder in orbit. Meanwhile Jack and Teal'c decided to go exploring. Daniel went outside to perform a translation on some of the ruins. This left her "alone" except for the Ascended in the room. She felt it move towards her when Harry appeared next to her.
Orlin had been moving towards the beautiful woman intending to perform a sharing with her. That was when he knew true pain for the first time in millennia. Orlin let out a scream as he bounced off a shield. Then his vision cleared from the flash of pain and he beheld a human male with glowing green eyes standing next to the blonde woman.
"Just because you have been banished by the Others Orlin does not mean you have the right to violate all of their laws. Forcing yourself on a woman is a heinous act. Doing it against my woman is likely to get yourself killed, ascended or not," Harry said.
Orlin took humanoid form and said, "Who are you? How do you know who I am?"
"I know many things," Harry said. "I know how long you have been here by yourself. A few hundred years of isolation is enough to drive anyone to desperation. That is why I won't press what you just tried to do if you back off."
"My apologies," Orlin said. "I...I have been very alone. And she is so very beautiful," He said before glancing towards Sam.
"Why were you banished here?" Sam asked curiously.
Hermione had said when they had met that Harry knew many things. She had seen that time and time again. This was just one of those times. She was sure she would find out one day how he knew such things. She was beginning to suspect it was some form of ESP (extra-sensory perception).
"This planet Velona was once a paradise. They were threatened by the Goa'uld. I showed them how to build this weapon to defend themselves. After the Goa'uld were driven off, the Velonans planned to use the weapon to conquer other worlds. The Others destroyed them and banished me here to isolation for violating their highest laws," Orlin explained.
"Out of curiosity why didn't you descend?" Harry asked.
Orlin looked at Harry with surprise and said, "Descend to what? All of my people were already ascended. I am banished. But at least I can still partake of the entertainment my people partake of. Better to accept my punishment hoping it only lasts a few millennia and rejoin them than be parted from them forever."
"I figured it was a reason like that but wanted clarification," Harry said.
Harry looked towards the weapon analyzing it. It was a very early design of a weapon for the Alterans. He activated the transporter and caused the beam to disassemble the weapon to its base elements. Cubes of refined materials were suddenly where the weapon had stood.
"Why did you do that?" Orlin asked curiously. "It was already disabled by the Others."
"Disabled but not destroyed. Someone would have been able to get it working," Harry said. "My ancestors had a habit of leaving their toys laying around."
"You are descended from the Lanteans," Orlin realized.
"I am," Harry confirmed.
"As far as I know I haven't heard any talk of the descendants we left behind after the fall of Atlantis in millennia. You have grown powerful indeed if your shield can hurt an ascended. How did you manage that?" Orlin asked curiously.
"Please ask Daniel to come inside," Harry said to Sam. She nodded and left. "Just because my ancestors are among the Others doesn't mean I trust the judgment of the Others collective. I reserve the right to keep my methods to myself."
"Fair enough," Orlin said.
"Daniel," Harry greeted when he and Sam had returned. Daniel looked at Orlin in surprise. "I think it is time you learn what became of my ancestors. I'd like you to meet Orlin. I think it would be beneficial if you came from time to time to learn of the true history of this galaxy and others nearby. Orlin has lived quite a bit of it."
"Breaking the laws against interference isn't going to exactly end my punishment any sooner," Orlin said to Harry.
"I highly doubt the Others will care if you teach history," Harry said. "And the conversation will do you some good."
"You make valid points Harry Potter," Orlin mused. "Very well. I shall do this to correct the insult I almost caused. My apologies," He said while looking directly at Sam.
She simply nodded.
