Chapter : 24
Burning him alive in his camp and then vanishing the ashes. It sent a message to his slaves and to any others like him who tried to take his planet from him.
However, this Jaffa send to be - surprise, surprise - a friendly Jaffa. At least he was likely to be, considering he was working with these Americans.
He then listened closely to them talking as they seemed to be waiting to see if he turned up.
He heard the older man called 'Jack' by the younger man, 'Sir' by the woman and 'Colonel O'Neill' more formally by the Jaffa. He heard the younger man called 'Daniel' by both the older man and the woman, while the Jaffa called him 'Doctor Jackson'. He also heard the woman called 'Sam' by both the older and younger men and 'Major Carter' by the Jaffa. And, finally, the other three all called the Jaffa 'Teal'c'.
That now meant he had their full names, less any middle names, as 'Colonel Jack O'Neill', 'Doctor Daniel Jackson', 'Major Sam (likely short for 'Samantha') Carter' and the Jaffa, of course, as simply 'Teal'c'. Jaffa... slave soldiers... didn't have last names.
After watching them for a while, Harry made his decision to 'greet' them. He carefully placed his staff weapon on the ground at his feet and carefully allowed the Notice-me-Not to fade away.
As soon as he did and before they saw him, he slipped the wand into his hidden holster on his forearm under the bracer on his left arm.
Of course, the big black Jaffa spotted him first and whirled on him with his staff weapon. However, Harry immediately saw it wasn't 'activated' as the tip was still closed and not 'sparking'. He tensed, but otherwise didn't react.
"Colonel O'Neill!" Teal'c sharply called.
That had the other three whirl about, bringing their own weapons to bear. Thankfully, none of them shot. That spoke of training.
"Damn!" said O'Neill, looking at him in surprise. "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" asked Harry.
"Turn invisible!" said O'Neill.
Harry just grinned back and said, "Trade Secret."
As Harry eyed the other four and they eyed him back it was a few moments before O'Neill asked. "So, you sound... English?"
"That would be because I am," Harry replied.
"A bit far from home, aren't you?" asked O'Neill.
"Wouldn't know," replied Harry. "All I know is this is a different planet. I have no idea where it is, or how far it is from Earth."
"8.6 light years," explained Carter. "It's in the Canis Major system." Indicating the sun - or the main one, at least - she continued, "That's the star Sirius A." Then indicated the very bright star he could always see during the day. "And that's Sirius B."
"Sirius?" he perked up. Then covered himself by asking, "Isn't that what we call the Dogstar? Supposedly the brightest star in the night sky? After our own sun, of course.
"Well, brightest star on Earth, at any rate," he muttered. "Of course.…. here... as it's the planet's sun, it's even brighter."
"Yep," she beamed back as first she and then the other three lowered their weapons. "I doubt you'd know that if you weren't from Earth."
"How did you get here, anyway?" asked Jackson.
Harry frowned, shrugged and replied, "I was in London. Next thing I know there was this bright flash of light. Next thing I know after that….. I wake up here."
"What was the date?" asked Jackson.
"Ummm..." Harry thought. "Let's see... I'd just finished one of my exams that day. It was three days before the train.…. eighteenth of June, 1996!"
"Errr..." said Jackson. "How long do you think you've been here?"
"No idea," he returned. "As far as I know and can figure out, I estimate it's been about two years; probably closer to two and half."
After the three non-Jaffa all glanced to one another for a moment he asked, "Oh-kaaay... What gives? How long has it really been?"
"A little over three years," replied a clearly sympathetic Carter. "Back on Earth, it's currently the thirty-first of October, 1999; Hallowe'en."
"It's Hallowe'en, three years later!?" Harry exclaimed, before he startled to chuckle, laugh and cry almost all at the same time. SG-1 just watched and let him get it out of his system.....
"It's always Hallowe'en," he sighed, coming down off his stress relief laugh/cry. "That day just hates me."
"We'll take your word for it," said O'Neill. "That aside, how'd you like to go home?"
"What?" asked Harry. "Back to Earth?"
"Yes..." replied Jack before he realised he didn't know what the young man's name was. "What's your name, anyway?"
"Harry," replied Harry…
"Got a last name?" pressed O'Neill.
"Yup," he grinned….
When he didn't expand, Jackson gave a snort of amusement. O'Neill looked confused.
"It's Potter," said Harry, having had his fun. "Harry Potter."
