I give up, it's so boring, most of the story has just been harry baby sitting the SGC or being restricted like a child by his family.
Guest chapter 5 . 1/16
In your story Harry is as much a control freak than Remus is.

A thing i find weird is how the magical secrecy came to be due the Salem trial instead of the Catholic church high inquisition and all the witch burning in europe.

Also you should read about the salem trial which while bad resolved in more scrutiny over the global hysteria which happened then to prevent it from happening again in the future.

If you compare it to the situation in Europe with thousands of innocent killed for witchcraft... it's a wonder why you refer to Salem for the magical secrecy thingy.

Also there still witchcraft trial in some muslim countries/region or in Africa.

Forgiving Dumbledore was not something even I saw coming, but that's how it just came out.
"
And it worked brilliantly, because it flowed organically. We could easily see both Harry's reluctance to forgive and his rationale for moving in that direction. Slowly, and yet, with the revelations over time (and boy, wasn't the Elder Wand Influence a freaking Brilliant stratagem!) that gradually made even me, an avowed 'bearded dark lord' hater, agree with Harry in fact if not in spirit. By the end of chapter 7 I'd let go my desire to strangle the old goat molester with his own beard. Ahem, well, YOUR Dumbledore is off that hook :D

One of my favorite things about this story is the flow of events. I'm a character-dev-first reader, but a good plot drives character development just as much as vice-versa. Your plot brought the characters through a lot of events that shaped them and, as they evolved, that shaped the plot. (and in Harry's case, the universe lol)

Thanks so much for sharing your time and your talent, this is easily one of my top ten stories for imagination and the sheer number of geekgasms induced :D

"
He was very glad for the fact that he was able to wake up the next morning without a hangover, and sent a grateful thought to himself, who sent a mental smirk back. Strange as that thought had been, it had become the norm for Harry to consider the situation as a partnership between himself and another him, who was constantly busy setting up a space in Superspace for the Ascended he intended to welcome there.
"
This about sums up the OP silliness which is simultaneously Epic Cool.
I'm beginning to think your only purpose in this fic is to make people think like Luna. I like it?

Sorry for the lack of reviews, life got Real, and I've been rarely able to sit and read, let alone take notes/make comments :(

If they somehow found another magical and convinced him to talk to them, he'd be just as boggled by some of the things he was asked.
"
Hah! That was be comedy gold... esp if it were a pureblood :D

"
"Cheer up, old man!" Harry said. "I've got this in the bag."

"Oh, I have faith in you, Harry." Dumbledore said. "It's the enemy I don't trust."
"
A very reasonable caution!

"
On the bright side, it seems that the Stargate technology isn't negatively affected by magic." she continued. "Anything based off Naquadah technology seems similarly unaffected. It has something to do with the superconductive capabilities of the element."

"That's useful to know." Harry nodded.

"It will mean that you do not need to use so much power trying to avoid damaging their tech."
"
Very nice, this will both remove an easy attack (just fry their systems with magic) and yet also give them the ability to use magic to seize their ships thus reducing their fleets / adding to Earth's (and other allies) defenses, should they choose to use them that way.

"
Essentially, they were making a spaceship, which could, and would, suck up other, even larger ships, storing them in the hull of the Plutus.
"
*blink blink*
Now that is going to be handy!

The MGA concept was brilliant and flows naturally from the various magitech that they've developed thus far.

"
"Thanks Dobby." Harry said to the air. He heard a snap of fingers and a glass of Butterbeer appeared next to the food. Harry smiled. The elf had started adding items every time Harry thanked him for something he had done. He'd tested the elf's dedication once, by repeatedly thanking him and ended up with a table stacked with more and more strange items. The elf had been sniggering by the end, and Harry was outright laughing when the book Hermione was reading in another room had joined the heap. She hadn't been impressed, but Harry had high-fived the little guy as they started banishing the items back to their proper locations.
"
Great stuff, really adds to the atmosphere of the tale.

"
"Who the hell are you!?" General Hammond exclaimed, having jumped at the sudden appearance.

"Corporal John Cooper, Marine Corps, sir!" he said, saluting the general. "I served for a while, before I was bitten while I was on liberty. Worst day of my life, when I was forced to leave. Got a dishonourable discharge for desertion. Couldn't stay if I wanted to. The corps was the first family I had."
"
While it was cool to see Cooper's backstory, the idea of him still being Corporal is ludicrous. Just TiS (Time in Service) alone would have seen him taking the Sgt's boards. I'd be shocked if he were not an E6 or E7 by now, with additional pay for on-call, battle, and special assignment all stacking up to make him quite wealthy by enlisted standards. That said, Cooper should not be the only guard for Harry, there should be a rotation at the least, if not a backup as well as rotation.

"
From what he could feel from the flopping human transfiguration, it was stable. "On the bright side, he doesn't have a symbiote, so he can't take another host, and we don't need to keep him in a special containment unit."

"That's impossible." Sam said, as she watched the naked man start to shake less and less. He seemed to be gaining control of his body.

"I'm not arguing with you." Harry said. "The mass and ratios are all off. His body should already be turning back."
"
Oh, hell, that's hilarious. Friggin worms are going to HATE THIS - esp as they'll likely be put into prison with other 'hosts', but be nothing but powerless 'hosts' themselves. Totally ebil and I love it.

"
Luna's morning television show tells people her reading for the weather here in Harmony. It's mostly a joke, since we control the weather." he finished with a chuckle.
"
Hah!

""Doesn't seem fair, does it?" Jack asked General Hammond. "One magical kid decides to make a flying saucer and now Britain has access to the world's most advanced Space Program."

"We've spent trillions on our Space Program." General Hammond agreed.

"And then a twelve-year old boy figures out how to go to the moon, during school holiday." Sam said, shaking her head. "If only we had access to that technology, we could advance our scientific knowledge by hundreds of years." she finished.

"What do you think we're doing here?"
"
Silly Americans... *sigh*

"
"Now, let's discuss magical contracts."
"
Finally!

This is So Good!

"
There was even a couple enjoying a picnic, while a dog ran around chasing a squirrel or two.
"
My money is on Remus, Tonks, and the mutt lol

"
"Magic?" Carter asked.

"Yup." Harry said.

"Like Abra-" she started.

"Don't insult me?!" Harry asked, having silenced her. "I'm not some sort of stage act." Carter tried to speak, but no words were coming out of her mouth.
"
He's still really easy to piss off, and not above dominating someone's free will when he's minorly offended :/

"
If I'm not mistaken, our large hadron collider should be coming online soon. It took only two weeks to build. I don't even know what it does! Isn't that exciting?"
"
So. Much. Love!

"
Harry had had a difficult realisation a while back. Hermione wasn't a genius. She was a very smart girl, with a phenomenal memory, but Harry had had to admit that he was, as far as certain things went, smarter than her. She was still the smartest of his girls, but she wasn't the next Einstein, as he had thought.
"
A difficult acknowledgement for all Hermione fans, but a realistic one. "Most brilliant witch of her age" becomes a lot less impressive once you step back and look at how utterly below average the vast majority of wizzies are.

"
"You nearly cut the moon in half!" Pansy exclaimed. "From Mars, no less!"

"Fine!" Harry exclaimed exasperatedly. "I'm sorry I was playing with a new laser, while eating Pizza." He turned to Jack, "Don't eat greasy food while playing with lasers. You'll never hear the end of it."

"Um." Jack said, intelligently.
"
*nods equally intelligently*

"
Fleur smiled at him, as she purposely excluded him from her Allure. It was something her wandless control had granted her the ability to do. That and the increased strength of her ability, when focussed.
"
Friggin cool!

"
"Well, we needed you to agree for us to experiment on, for the magic to work as it should." Harry said. You had to love family magics, when it was used for good. "You just gave us permission to use you to destroy the Goa'uld race."
"
*blink blink*
Welp, did Not see that coming... erm, so to speak :p

"
The man would need to sign a very stringent contract, but he'd not mind him on Harmony. He was a serious person, but he had a gentle heart. That was probably why Sam liked him, and gave him a cat.
"
I always thought that the cat was the test of the man :D

"
"You're preparing for war." Jack said.

"They've already declared war." Harry countered.
"
Exactly. There is no other status with the worms, you are either at peace (slaves) or at war (resisting - and with Harry & co, that means stepping on worms).

"
There was a different team investigating the DHD. Harry really hoped that they succeeded in finding out how the things worked, so that he could start on another project. He'd called dibs, when he delivered the devices. He'd use their findings and tinker until he had it down. He went to them, and started his own investigation.
"
Always the scientist!
majere4 chapter 2 . 12/23/2024
"
I could have disabled that device myself, but then they would have started obsessing over who, or what had done it. That device has been working for a long time. To think that it randomly shut down just then, would have been preposterous.
...
"They've been able to support themselves for a long time, living such short lives, I suspect they'll be fine without us." Harry said. "We shouldn't interfere in every culture we find. We can keep an eye, though."
"
Holy crap, our Harry has grown into quite the wise young man. Now, if he can just learn to curb his impulsiveness instead of having to have a dozen people watching to make sure he doesn't stare into the sun again lol

Remus' dismissal of Hammond was perfect. I had forgotten what a hothead he was in the beginning of the show. By the time he calmed down he'd been replaced (or as good as).

"
"What do you do?" Carter tried.

"I'm Harry's secretary." Daphne said.

"Because you're a girl?" Carter asked, a hard cast to her eyes.

"Get that chip off your shoulder already." Daphne scoffed.

"Daphne wanted the job, because she likes to dress up and seduce Harry, when he gets too focussed on his projects." Pansy said. "She's good at it, but I'm better."

"You are not!" Daphne exclaimed.

"Girls." Harry chided
"
The instantaneous travel was very fun. The girls messing with SG1 is hilarious.

"
The necklace she wore was made of materials gathered on the moon. When magic was sent into it, it would emulate the moon's magic. Remus had figured that one out on his own. He wanted to be able to change at will. All the wolves carried those stones with them, since then.
"
Bad Arse! I love it!

"
Harry just smiled at the big man, before he stepped behind a counter and rummaged through a drawer. "Personal shield generators, lasers, phasing, transport beacons, EFM transmitters, sexual augmentation, weather manipulation… Ah! Here we are!" he said, finally finding what he was looking for and pulling the previous year's model cell-phone out. "Communication."
"
He's such an arsehole, great prank tho!

"
"I know what you're saying, but I pride myself on my system having no delays." Harry countered.

"His ego can't handle not doing something perfectly." Daphne said, for their benefit.

"You should see his six-pack." Luna said, still with her dreamy smile. "Perfect." she murmured.
"
The worst part is, you can't know if Luna is entirely serious (for her) or just pulling a prank... oh hell, it's probably both!

Bra'tac getting stopped short was quite unexpectedly gratifying.

Oh, wow, (one of) the big curtain is coming down. Welcome to Mars, indeed.

"
magical waterpark. That had been a nightmare to arrange, since the owner of the establishment had just assumed he could use the water that they had available. He ended up paying a hefty fine
"
This makes no sense to me. Every change to the rather tight quarters of their settlement would have to be approved in advance by a 'zoning committee' to ensure the builder knew what they were doing. For someone to simply 'start a waterpark' is silly. Nobody would do so on earth, and I doubt that they'd allow someone to come to mars that was so inherently stupid as to think they could 'just build' anything, let alone an amusement park, without any consultation.

"
He'd not be able to get away with dealing under the table. Not that he wanted to, since his people were finally able to deal anywhere they wanted. You could see Goblins walking down the road to go get an ice-cream at the local vendor and taking a bath in the local Japanese-style bath-house.
"
This paints a solid picture to help us understand the Goblins on Mars. Goblins are often portrayed as greedy, especially when it comes to spiting Wizzies, but if they have genuine equality...

"
Harry was dumbfounded. He was glad Remus had taken him to a private, secure room. "Fuck me." he said. Then he smiled. "Aliens!" he exclaimed then. "This means that there's more to discover!"
"
*nods* That's our Harry! D

"
When he was done, he had not only created a system to see the solar system, but one that could use other stars as a relay to move on to the next star.
"
Kinda what I hoped for and So Very Freaking COOOOL!
*geekgasm ongoing*

"
Sirius was on the ship before any of them, but he was escorted off by the wolves, considering he was the Mayor of Harmony. He'd wanted the job, so he'd have to serve out his term. Harry had just chuckled as he was taken away, protesting the whole way. Unfortunately Sirius wasn't professional enough for something like first contact with an alien species. His propensity to attack at being startled would definitely get them in trouble.
"
This is a lot of fun, it gives a solid rundown of what's up with Sirius and also has one of my favorite double-entendres for Sirius "he'd have to serve out his term." As a former prisoner, the fact that he volunteered (probably making a huge scene in the process) is icing on the cake.

"
"Your power is useful." the crystal said. "We can feel it reaching out, evaluating. It feels, as you said, protective. We can sustain this structure and its function with our power
"
Oooohhhh, it can sustain a magical charge, that's Very Useful Information!
Now, can they be convinced to become fellow explorers?

"
"You are, as you put it, 'in-tune'." Ohper said. "You could be of the Nox and we wouldn't know. You are wise for one of so few years." he complimented.

"Thank you, Ohper." Neville said again. Plans for his own forest had just exploded in his mind.
"
Nailed it!

"
"Don't show it to Luna." Harry warned. "She'll be taking the first transport there, otherwise."

"Disguised as an elf." Daphne agreed, with a bit of a smile. Luna had an incurable curiosity when it came to strange animals. These people, though, they'd probably love her.
"
Oh... wow, yeah. She'd come back tho... eventually :D

"
"Now, I've not been given much. I have been given a number to call, should we need to get in contact with Lieutenant-Colonel Lupin, but I'll need to discuss this situation with the President, before we make any further enquiries." Hammond said. The fact that it was a number with a Texas area-code bothered him. He was from Texas, after all.
"
That. Is. Hilarious!
Truly a Marauder worthy prank :)

His restrictions and reasoning for what he locks away from the temporal window are severely flawed logically. Especially considering he made and artificial intelligence to monitor the facility.
Guest chapter 13 . 10/27/2024
Great story
TragicErato chapter 9 . 10/13/2024
I love your stories, but I do admit I'm lost in this one, probably because I haven't watched SG1, so the context is lost. Either way, great storytelling and I enjoy your work. I'll probably just skip to the end to transition for the x-over.
Incantations7 chapter 5 . 8/15/2024
This is one of those little plot holes in SG-1… The constellations would all be different, unless they had a standard, like Earth only viewing…. But it’s something that I just ignored because I loved watching SG-1…
Guest chapter 2 . 7/28/2024
Wow, so much for Op Sec. Have you intentionally decided to write Harry as an incompetent retard with no brains and no character growth or development despite this story and it's prequel taking place over several years? If so, did you make that decision because you actually somehow thought it would be entertaining? It's not, by the way, entertaining in the least, it's makes the character annoying and the plot unbelievable. A serious rewrite is necessary for this story and the first as they are, frankly, garbage that reads as though written by an adolescent teen who failed English class.
Guest chapter 1 . 7/28/2024
Wow only the first chapter and you've already made the story utter garbage, but since this is supposed to be a sequel to another story which was such a steaming pile of shit it should just be deleted I'm not shocked this started as shit from the very beginning.
