Capítulo 5: Let's make a deal
went through my memory to find a small shield emitter just big enough for the mansion and surrounding grounds and put the nanites on it, I connected it to the ZPM, and slaved it to the fairies.
In the chair I followed the conversation from a helicopter to their base, a command center was monitoring the area around my mansion, I heard them talking about the spot of land that was missing.
Soldier: "Sir, we did the measuring twice and there is a section of land missing, we are missing sixty-five acres, we know it is there but we can't see it, somehow it is hidden from us.
Officer: "Send some ground troops, we are going to sort this out."
Oops, this is going to be embarrassing, wizard kind discovered when Potter tested his spaceship. And they even don' believe we went to the moon. Flora gets a paddling now.
"Tink? Any suggestions?"
Tink: "I suggest talking to the officer in charge before it gets out of hand. Start with a hologram or just beam him in your office. Or beam a note to him to ask the Prime minister to talk to the painting to make an appointment with Lord Harry Potter. If you smack him with the lordship he will listen."
"Dobby some parchment and a quill please," I was monitoring the officer who was going to his superior to rapport. The message was penned down, I put it in a fancy envelope and beamed it on the desk between the officers with some extra light show. I followed Tink's suggestion, only added to redraw the troops, for now, the country was not in danger.
Well… telling a soldier their country was NOT in danger was apparently a red flag, that or the letter in front of them, I am pretty sure it ends up in a lab. Not familiar with the army rankings, it could be a captain or someone higher up, anyway, there was someone higher than him because they were running at him right now.
Spying was easy with this chair, the higher up didn't believe them, called them drunks and delusional, so to help the poor officers I beamed the letter in the air and let it float in mister disbelief his hand.
Ow, now they are taking their guns, and pointing them in all directions, spying on them is a red flag too, especially when they can't find you, now they are yelling… do they think I am deaf? The three got a lot of attention, some mentioning the stress they are in all day, others thought family problems, then someone with some stars on his shoulders came asking about the commotion.
Mister disbelief: "General, Major Dunham came to me with this letter and said it appeared on his desk with a flash of light, I didn't believe them and called them drunks, then the letter flashed in the air and landed in my hand, so someone is watching us."
General: "Someone can do that, and you think you shoot them with a handgun?" hey he is smart, I just flash the letter in his hand. I dimmed the light show a bit, and the letter got with the general.
Mister disbelief: "it seems it is out of my hands now, good day sir." he turned and ran away.
The general read the letter and went to his office, made some calls, I found out his name is Hood, I hoped his dad was a fun guy and named him Robin, finally, I heard him say prime minister,
"Yes sir, the letter said: talk to the painting to make an appointment with Lord Potter, the letter just flashed in my hand, it was like magic." Now we are getting somewhere, the minister with Fudge in his mind was not happy with the prospect to talk with that condescending prick, feeling sorry for him I interfered in the call.
"You can talk to me if you want, I am Lord Harry Potter, and Prime minister, please call of the military, my family lived here for nearly two thousand years, and I don't want to move from my ancestral grounds, if we wanted to cause the country any harm we would have done it already, this mornings event was caused by one of my wives forgetting to stealth before setting off. We will compensate you for upsetting the military."
General: "This is a highly secure line, how do you get in? What was that thing that can reach space in 5 seconds and then disappear with a flash?"
"Five seconds? It wasn't so bad after all, she held back, in the simulation we went in hyperspace in one point two seconds… oops never mind, it is me just bragging about the wife." Me and my big mouth made things worse.
Prime Minister: "Hyperspace? I thought your kind still moved around on those brooms."
General: "Broom? That thing was at least sixty yards long, it went up, breaking every speed record and disappeared in front of a space station, who monitored it all."
"Alright, I modernized a bit, I can go into space with no problem. But Prime minister you know what kind of people I belong with, this has to stay a secret for at least a year. I got that pompous ass that visits you fired today,
I expect his successor to present herself today, I think it is going to be Lady Bones, I didn't exactly wait for her election. So things will go better from now on."
Prime Minister: "Anyone is better than him, I am looking forwards to work with her. Now you can reach outer space in less than five seconds? Can we ask you to put some satellites in orbit?"
"Sure, why not, that will be her punishment, Flora will do it. I will give you both a communicator, keyed to only you, so you can contact Tink, he is my personal assistant.
Do not mess with it or it will disappear, along with the chance to get those satellites up there." While I was saying that the communicators appeared in their hands. Yes, it was like magic.
General: "I will redraw the troops, I will tell them it is a secret project from MI5 that we disturbed."
"Thank you, general for the cover story, you may ad a satellite more."
I said goodbye and ended the call, "Dobby can I get something to eat? I skipped lunch again."
Dobby: "Master Harry, dinner is almost ready, can you call the mistresses?"
I made contact with Hermione "Hey my love, dinner is almost ready, can you come home? And make sure to not carry bugs along."
Hermione: "We are on our way Harry and don't worry, we are already following space travel protocol."
"That is one of the reasons I love you all. You all are smarter than me. Park it in orbit, and beam in, Tink will take control of Bapsy to bring resources to Pandora, the military haven't left the area yet."
Hermione: "Military?" "I explain at dinner."
After a few minutes the girls beamed in, Missy appeared to, she jumped in my arms and kissed me.
"Hey, honey how were the exams? Did you ace it?"
Missy: "Harry, it is all over the school what you did in the wizengamot, you were responsible for convicting all death-eaters, and some of their sons to, Madam Malfoy took her son from school, the word is she is moving to France." Oh, she is not a moron then, I hope she can retrain goat boy.
"Flora Carrow, did you fly Bapsy into orbit?"
Flora: "Yes Master."
"Did you use stealth before you took off?"
Flora: "No Master." Fear was in her eyes, I forgot from what household they came. I took her in my arms and hugged her.
"Flora dear, you do not need to be afraid of me, you can show the world how good you can fly Bapsy and I still won't be mad at you, you know, you claimed me I claimed you, we are bonded. And it is Harry, love or dear. Master is when you want to play in bed with me."
Flora: "Yes, Master." I didn't see that coming, it's paddle time.
"There is an additional punishment though. To hush things up I made a deal with the prime minister to launch some satellites. That will be your job."
Flora smiling: "Yes Master."
At dinner Missy reported the happenings at school, there were a lot of wireless radio's tuned to the wizengamot. The sacking of Fudge and the toad, Dumbledore's confession, the death-eaters, Sirius… Where is the dog?
"Tapsy? Where is Sirius?" Tapsy: "Doggy is asleep, after the bath I gave some food and a nutrition potion and put him in bed" "Thank you for taking care of him you are the best family I could wish for."
"How are things on Pandora? Tink said you made big progress already."
Hermione: "Hannah was the most interested in this project so we let her lead it. We dug the Stargate up, while Hannah went through the plans and selected a spot, we all agreed that it was an ideal place for our capital city."
Hannah: "We started with a section, fit for a hundred thousand people. The nanites made the construction drones, after Bapsy went up and down the asteroid belt for materials, the nanites created a transporter beam at the shipyard, so we had full use of Bapsy, after we divided the tasks it went easy. People can move in here by August, Bell estimated the shipyard will take two to three days to complete then it can produce a Baps every day."
Tonksie: "With ten Baps we will have enough, security is next, then energy, ZPM's we have to reduce the tech to twenty million years ago, but I like to have the ZPM's for energy, they last the longest and doesn't need much maintenance."
Hestia: "How do you plan to keep them inline? People following rules for millions of years are not the same as people used to do whatever they like."
"Anyone have a suggestion? I am open to all ideas."
Astoria: "First is education, teach them up until high school level, the only language used will be Alteran. From their birth or arrival tag them, with an implant or something that they can't lose, together with a bracelet it will monitor their health, put a shield up in danger, and it can track down where he went for weeks.
So at a crime scene, we only have to check the logs, to see who did it or was there. Once they know there is no escape from punishment, crime will go down, murder will be impossible because of the shields and health monitor.
With the food replicators, we can feed everyone for free, basic clothing is free too. If you want higher education, you need to sign a contract for several years of service, you will get better benefits in place.
For the top spots you need to sign a lifelong contract, the benefits will be substantial too."
Stumped we were looking at Astoria, "Did we find our city administrator? Any thoughts? Or are there some loopholes that can be abused?"
Fauna: "The people who don't want to sign the contract for higher education can they create a business or go wandering in the wilderness? I am thinking of entertainment, social gatherings with food and drinks, food replicators are impersonal so diners and bars will pop up, how about an economy?"
Tracey: "People will want to explore other planets, maybe settle down there, are we going to claim this galaxy? How about the military?"
Luna: "Animals, if we move the wizarding kind to Pandora, what about dragons, unicorns, Centaurs and all sort of magical plant and animals, are we going to disturb that ecological balance by importing lots of different kinds? Are our animals going to survive the competition with the wildlife?
We terraformed Pandora, it is our planet but that was seven million years ago, there is an ecological balance right now. Can we somehow move the ice planet in a better orbit, to create a magical animal planet?
Missy: "That is in our starters packet, you need ten Terraform ships to drag a planet in a better orbit, more are even better, then you have to wait at least a century to let the planet settle down before you begin to ad atmosphere and water, Terraform can take centuries, less but you have to constantly adjust the perimeters."
Luna: "Pandy just told me the ice planet can be put back in a lower orbit, with not much effort, or we can shield big pieces of land as a reserve. Either way, if we move, the magic animals have to move too, do you want to leave a nundu behind?
Susan: "We start with reservations until we have the tools to Terraform a planet or correct that ice planet. We need to expand our intelligence, I suggest cloaked satellites with enough firepower to defend themselves to run away.
Every planet that can sustain life or has life on it needs to have one, it can also track and protect our people when they are there."
"Well it is not so simple after all, we can't just put people on a strange planet and expect things will run smooth. The things Astoria brought up can all be used, as a baseline minimum. No one will starve from hunger or cold, a basic small house, three meals a day, and clothing.
Do you want more? Contribute to the society, either with work, commerce or service, every person needs to be registered, a person without a tag will be beamed in a police station, tagged or removed
from the planet. After we make ten Baps we will create three Potentia constructor satellites and send them in the sun, they should produce one every three months.
Enough talk, now I want to paddle Flora's ass. Who wants to help?"
The response was overwhelming, especially from Flora, I remembered their collars in my mindscape and let Tink make them, I gave Daphne one for Tracey, and hold two in front of Flora and Fauna.
"Only if you want it for your selves, not to do me a favor, or you are trained that way, take it if you really want it, remember no fear, only love, if you want to be paddled we paddle, if you only want a hug and no more, you get a hug and no more, well maybe a kiss, or two kisses, I may pinch your but, nibble on your ear, you get the picture right?"
They both stood in front of me with their collars already on. I talk too much I suppose. I beamed everyone on the bed some ropes were waiting to be used with rings on the wall. Daphne took control,
Daphne: "Susan and Hannah tie the twins to the wall, their master need to inspect them, remove their clothes only leave their undies, Pet, help master out his clothes, then see to Tonks and Hestia's needs. Luna dear, enjoy the show, Missy, join if you feel like it, cuddle with Luna or do your own thing.
Yep, Mistress Daphne played us all, directing me to first paddle the twins, then take them from behind while they were still tied up. After untying them I blindfolded and handcuffed them, and let them pleasure Missy and Luna, while I pampered Hannah, she still wasn't ready but a parseltongue can do miracles, then I took care of Astoria, a few hugs and kisses and a lot of cuddling. After two hours we called a night, Astoria whispered she wanted the magic one. I expanded my magic and gave her what she wanted.
In the morning we decided to spend the last day in Hogwarts, so we beamed in Slytherins quarters and went up to breakfast, everyone to their own house. Slytherin table had few people on it, some claws a puff and even a gryf was missing
Even the twins were not in the mood for jokes.
Twin one: "Harrykins, we will never be your enemy."
Twin two: "We wouldn't survive it."
Twin one: "The school, ministry, all the death-eaters."
Twin two: "What are you going to mess up next?"
"Well I may create a world where all wizards can openly and free do magic, with dragon preserves not twenty miles big but two hundred miles. Were Goblins can walk in the sunshine without disguise. Even herds of centaurs can roam free."
Luna: "Let's call that world Pandora."
Hermione: "Aye Pandora it is. What is the capital city's name? We have to name it."
Hannah: "The last thing in Pandora's box was hope. So let us call it Hope."
Was the last thing hope? I don't know, neither do I care, Hope it is.
I made my way to Madam Marchbanks, "Madam Marchbanks, I mucked the stables out. I hope the wizarding world gets some senses back, how are you feeling today?"
Griselda: "Lord Potter, you never cease to amaze me, what will you do next?"
"Perhaps I will take my wives and do our owls in the ministry this summer, or go to another planet, build a city, and let people live there for free. Maybe I'll do both. But seriously Madam Marchbanks if you are free after lunch, I want to show you a part of my future, you will not be disappointed. I will show you Hope."
The school was changed, the knowledge of discrimination and free death-eaters, affected the students' behavior, with both gone, the students began to flock together by year, not House or faction.
I consulted with my wives and Griselda, who suggested creating study rooms close to the library, sorted by year instead of the house. Supervised by a prefect, it is a fact teaching someone helps you to understand the material better, Hestia mentioned the sixth years can be mobilized for it too, for extra credit.
Now, this is another dilemma, a magic school on Pandora? It is going to be an Alteran society, who can do magic… different countries make different magic, so a big school with different branches, it gives the kids something to do, a place to socialize, and plan out their futures. Meh. Worries for later.
It was a bit awkward, being thirteen in a fifteen-year-old body, with an education of a twenty-five-year-old and knowledge of millennia ahead, so we didn't really fit anymore, taking our owls this summer was getting more appealing in our minds.
Hermione said: "We can network the students, to invite them for a visit in August or July, we give them a locator while saying it is a portkey, so we can beam them up and show them Pandora. We can hand them out tomorrow on the train, even relatives are welcome to visit along as long as they are within a two yards radius from the locator. By then we will have something to show, and have maybe a passenger ship or two. I doubt they will be ready to walk through a Stargate."
Tonksie: "Announce it at lunch, say you will take Marchbanks today to show her so she can confirm or deny our statements."
Susan: "Take the prefects with you, six per house minus three from Slytherin makes twenty-one students and Marchbanks, let Tink add some chairs in the cockpit, Let Hannah or Astoria drive so it will take a bit longer to get there. We keep the shipyard and nanites a secret as we agreed."
Flora and Fauna: "Hey! We can do slow." They looked at each other and sighed. "You are right, it is probably best to let Hannah or Astoria do the flying."
Tracey: "Is it too early for a reporter? When we bring twenty-two witnesses to Pandora, they will be pissed to not be invited, come to think about it, so will our parents be."
Daphne: "Tracey is right, we are moving too fast. First, we need our parents in on our secret, maybe give them our package, Tink can create a repository for that package so we won't fry their brains. Hermione's parents need their brains measured first to see their capacity and ask what knowledge has to be included."
"OK, I will show Marchbanks our mansion and the chair. I keep the explanations to a minimum. We can however invite everyone on the train for a visit. The last week of July is good? So we can inform our parents this week, although I don't know Madam Bones will have time, being a minister and all.
On the other hand, this affects her the most, there will be a mass migration to Pandora, especially the poor section without a job."
Astoria: "We save this conversation for when we get home, this is our last day here, and I have only been here for a few days, so let us enjoy ourselves." That got her a group hug and we dispersed to our friends.
After lunch, I approached Griselda and asked: "ready Madam Marchbanks?"
Griselda: "Ready Lord Potter, do your thing."
We beamed in my office at the mansion "Tapsy can you call Sirius here? He needs to know this too."
Sirius popped in, we took a seat, and I started to explain. The Hallows, Peverells vault, Merlin's and our history, the knowledge I have now.
"At this moment we are preparing a city on another planet. A planet our ancestors Terraformed eight million years ago. We consider this our property because without our ancestors it would be another dirtball in space."
Griselda: "That is a lot you are telling us Lord Potter, have you any proof of it?" I beamed them to the chair.
"Please take a seat Madam Marchbanks it is in viewing mode only. I only want you to keep this a secret for a week, so we can tell the parents first. You and Sirius are the first ones outside my wives and me, so you understand the parents' right to get the knowledge first before some colleagues of you hear it from you."
Griselda: "I understand Lord Potter, and will keep it a secret for a week." I looked at Sirius with an eyebrow raised.
Sirius: "You have my word to Harry, I need that week anyhow to recover."
"Please sit down, and put your hands on the gel packs, place your head to the headrest and think of earth." the globe appeared in front of them, zooming in and out, from London to Hogwarts, it makes you dizzy if you are not the one doing the zooming.
"now zoom out at the maximum range." Stars appear, on one star green dots were visible, curious Griselda zoomed in, I mentally blocked the shipyard from showing itself. Pandora came in view, Bapsy flying at the asteroid belt gathering materials.
"I present to you Pandora, the first Alteran planet in this galaxy, after seven million years, if you zoom at the green spot on the globe you will see the first city called Hope."
Remembering our conversation at breakfast Griselda smiled. "So you will bring us Hope, Lord Potter."
"The name fits his purpose Madam Marchbanks, we are going to build our society back up from scratch. I have the knowledge of a seventy million years old civilization in my head, wizardkind is not ready for that, their brain is not ready for it. Can I test yours?" after her nod she clocked at 42%, strange, I thought it would be more.
"Sirius, can I test yours too?" Sirius tested at 47%.
"I tested Miss Harper, the head girl, and she had 55%, my wives are between 65 and 70%. I have 91%, Miss Harper bonded to me the day before yesterday, she got a power boost of 10% and is now at 65%.
I prepared knowledge packages from twenty million years ago, so the wizards can handle the knowledge without frying their brains, it contains the language and knowledge up to high school level, which is at a higher level than earth university's if you want I can give it to you or parts of it, your choice. She was thinking, "only the language Lord Potter and some basic understanding of how the technology works. I am too old to get that kind of knowledge, and frankly, I don't need it, I plan to spend my last years on earth." I downloaded the language, the knowledge to operate the basic appliances and the general principles of how they work.
Griselda closed her eyes, and let it settle in. she looked at me and said: "Some old texts are making sense now, there are even some books in Alteran, some were thinking it was a pre-Latin language because of the similarities. Thank you for sharing it with me."
"Madam Marchbanks, you are always welcome on any planet of the Alterans. And please call me Harry." Surprised she looks at me, smiled and nodded, "Thank you for the privilege, Harry."
Yeah right like she wants a snotnose call her Grizzy. The privilege of old age, it is called.
Because Sirius was still recovering I gave the same like Grizzy, and let him have fun in the chair, Tink will supervise him.
Back in school, we had a great time with our friends although the girls and especially Hermione were swamped with offers for Consort and Concubine. I told Hermione: "Not unless it is a pretty alien."
At Hagrid's cabin, I found him sitting on the doorstep, Fang at his feet.
"Hagrid, I have a job offer for you, I am setting up a dragon preserve and need someone who isn't afraid of those big lizards and know their needs. I think to begin August will be fine I guess. My wife Luna Lovegood will contact you, you can stay here until then. We will also create other preserves for magic animals and your expertise is welcome."
Hagrid had tears in his eyes "For fifty years I am being made a fool of Harry, I followed his orders without questioning, trusting he was on the light side. I don't know what to believe in anymore."
"Don't believe in anything before you questioned it. Trust is a good thing, blind trust is a path to hurt and pain. Talk it over with Luna. The job offer is real though."
Luna was listening when Pandy heard dragon preserve and visited Hagrid's cabin. Soon both were talking about the layout of the preserve and the dragon's needs. I think Luna will like the Nox.
At dinner, I announced the offer to visit a place of mine with a lot of future job opportunities.
"We hand tomorrow on the train specialized portkey's out. They activate the last Sunday of July at ten o'clock, you will have a whole day to explore the possibilities. You can bring relatives and friends with you, anyone in a range of two yards will be ported with you. Thank you."
It is like those computer games, like the league of legends, you have only two hands and need six to do the job properly, I hated that game, I tried it and my son kicked my but before I even had something to show for. Hey, I remember that. I noticed my memories from before fading away, especially after that download from Alteran. I need to make a room in my mindscape for it before everything is gone.
The wives feeling my mood change came flocking around me, and I admit it works.
"Come girls we need Mistress Daphne to take care of us."
