Takamachi Harriet, the Mage who lived

Minerva McGonagal considered herself to be a very intelligent and honestly said smart Woman.

Therefore she wasn't sure for what she was so unease, sure Uminari City was the Site of the strange Magical Disturbances, that gigantic magical Storm near the Coast for example, or those Discharges Months later at Christmas eve two Years ago, were troubling but why should she find the Source that the Aurors of both Japan and other Nations couldn't find out.

What they knew was, honestly said frightening. The unleashed magical Energy was, in cheer Power, comparable to a Muggle Nuclear Weapon, if not stronger. And there were several of this Power flying around, several Times. They were only eclipsed by this large, magical discharge that come closer to a Super Nova in Energy.

From all they knew there were around a dozen different People they didn't know, who could cause this much Energy in single Spells. The most energetic Spell that was known was the killing Curse but that one was a Joke compared to those Discharges. It was a little known Fact that the only Reason nothing could block the killing Course was the large Amount of Energy that was used for it, far larger than any other Spell short of one created by a large Arithmancy Spell but to use such in Battle was impossible.

Sure, from Muggle born it was known that Muggle Calculators could calculate the needed Math for such in Seconds, and theory it would be possible to power such a Device with Magic to make it work, but the old Family's who held a lot of Influence in the Government wanted nothing more than to prevent any mingling between Magic and 'Muggle Artifacts', they acted like Muggle Machines were primitive, like they were something below them.

Fact was that the modern Times made many Things only Wizards and Witches could do possible, Muggle flew, many Century's after the first flying Broom was built, but they landed even on the Moon, the first Humans in Space were Muggle, while Wizards haven't even reached the upper Layers of the Stratosphere. Many even wanted the World to go back to how it was 1000 Years ago, Muggle shooting Arrows and fighting with Swords and Wizards and Witches having all the Power they needed.

But that was impossible, they knew the Muggle could kill with ease any Attack if they send their Army's. Wizards weren't Soldiers, they weren't even Warriors. They stood in Fights straight up and jumped out of the Way of relatively slow Spells. Muggle Soldiers used Sonic Speed Bullets that shot out of Automatic Weapons very fast, fired from behind Cover and a Sniper would kill any Wizard with Ease without anyone being able to know where it come from.

Over all, Muggle Army's would obliterate Wizards easily, not to start off with just throwing a Nuke at the Ministry of Magic if they wanted, from America for example. Over all, Wizardkind didn't have the Supreme Power anymore, far from it, they weren't just a minority in the World Population now, they were inferior in Power too. Muggle Technology had long since surpassed all they could accomplish. Tests had shown that a Shield Spell could deflect the Arrow of a Shortbow, but the Bullet of a simple Revolver would pass through and kill any Wizard.

Seeing as modern Weapons were far superior to this and half automatic Weapons shot whole Bursts of Bullets, there was no Way Wizards could deflect this. Still some Family's (Read Malfoy) Insisted in the Superiority of Wizardkind and Purebloods, not understanding just how outclassed they were.

Now she was here for two Reasons, first of all Harriet Potter was apparently living in this House, and further more had the Japanese Magic School, Mahoutokoro, send them a Request of sending a Student who was born in Japan but who had no Space in the School, would attend Hogwarts, the Girl was named Takamachi Nanoha. They knew Harriet had been moved out of Britain by the Dursleys who send her to a Orphanage somewhere and seeing as she was here they assumed that Harriet had been adopted by the Takamachi's, in her own Opinion this was a good thing.

A few Minutes after the Bell rang someone come to the Door, opening it only slightly. Behind the Door stood a young Girl with black, wet Hair. She had green Eyes and wore a Pair of Glasses. She was only clad in a Towel, indicating that she had come out of the Shower just now. "Sorry, but Oto-san and Kaa-san aren't here and I am not allowed to let anyone in, come back later please." With that the Girl closed the Door to Minervas astonishment.

The Woman waited for a few Minutes and then, to her Relief, opened the Girl again, now wearing Clothes and if the missing Glasses were any Indication, then she had now Contact Lenses. She was now wearing a light blue T-Shirt under a white Vest, had a Pair of dark blue Pants on and around her Neck hung a small Pendant made of a three pronged Crystal growing on a blue, spherical Gem.

Her Hair was reaching down to her Shoulders and was loose, though they were now dry and since she doubted that the Girl knew a drying Spell she assumed she had used the Hairdryer called Muggle Machine to dry them. "Alright, who are you and why aren't you leaving? I told you already that my Parents aren't here." Asked the Girl, who Minerva was sure to be Harriet, with a certain Edge to her Voice.

Minerva flinched slightly, the Girl obviously wasn't happy to have a complete Stranger on her Doorstep, now Minerva found something else on her, a small Plaque reading "I have a black Belt in Karate, don't mess with me" though in Japanese and Kanji. It was a clear enough Message to her that she wasn't happy that she was there.

She breathed through, the Girl was cautious but apparently sure of herself enough to face her, considering with whom she grew up not surprising. "My Name is Minerva McGonnagal, I have come here to deliver a Invitation to Takamachi Nanoha and Takamachi Harriet." Explained the Woman, hoping the Girl had taken on that last Name and hadn't stayed with Potter since she was expecting something like that from the Adoption. Sadly Hogwarts didn't take into Account someones change in Name.

The Girl frowned and answered: "You're Name shows you're not from Japan, so what Kind of Invitation are you talking about? And shouldn't you wait until Tou-san and Kaa-san are here too?" She wasn't very polite to her but at least she wasn't dumb, she knew at least that her Parents should be there too. The Problem was that Minerva wasn't sure if it would be a good Idea for her to stay in this House since it was completely Muggle and had no Wards protecting it against Death Eaters.

Then something strange happened, she felt how someone tried to invade her Mind, or rather how someone prodded her Mind rather forcefully. The Energy behind it was more than any Wizard would for Legilimency. She in Turn used Occlumency to block the Invader but she found that the Intrusion was very powerful, though it stopped shortly after she had started.

While she was looking around for whoever had done this she failed to see the deepening Frown on Harriets Face, something not befitting of the Girl. "You're a Mage." Stated the Girl suddenly and very bluntly to her Surprise, Mage? Did she mean Wizard with that?

Minerva then only noticed for the first Time, since she had been searching for Magic Users, that the Girl had a immense Aura of Magic about her, the same Signature as the one that prodded her Mind just now. The scary Thing was that this Aura was far stronger than any advanced Wizard or Witch that she ever had seen before, it was like the Magical Tremor two Years-!

Minerva McGonnagal found herself realizing that Harriet Potter, or Takamachi Harriet, was one of those involved in the Magical Tremors two Years ago, there was no mistaking in this Matter. Suddenly the Pendant she had glowed a bright, light blue Light and the next Moment she found herself to have a bladed looking, Head of a long Staff, reminiscent of the Muggle expectation of a Magicians Staff on her Troat. The Head was made of a blue Spherical Gem, rather large, from whom three blade like Prongs come off. Two to either Side and the third come right in the Middle, making a slightly Trident like Weapon.

From the golden, cylindrical Piece between the Staff and the Headpiece, come a Pair of cylindrical Objects off, similar to some Kind of Steamvents and a Gunclip like Object was attached just below the Head. "For what are you here? This Planet isn't aware of Magic so you can't be from here." Asked Harriet suspicious and Minerva found herself very much confused, the small Pendant had turned into a Weapon all of a sudden, and Harriet had revealed herself to be aware of some Kind of Magic but she didn't know of the Ministry of Magic or any other Magical Government on Earth? And... did that mean she learned Magic from Aliens?

The Concept of Aliens wasn't new to them, even though they haven't been in Space ever, the Believe in Aliens existed among Wizards for Century's. You see, there was this Legend of Visitors from beyond the Stars who brought the Concept of Magic with them, creating the first Wizards by teaching those Humans with magic Talent how to use it. Many thought it was simply a Explanation of old but Ancient Scripts from as far back as 2498bc. the oldest mention of Magic existent, a Place called Al-Hazard that "was situated far beyond the Stars, for Wizardkind to never find.

This had been interpreted in recent Times to mean that the Secret of Magic had been brought to Earth by Aliens, others interpreted it to be the Origin of the Muggle Myth of Atlantis, Purebloods being Descendants of Atlantis and therefore superior to Muggleborn. But the Weakness in latter and Strength of the former, was the Fact that there were Magicals both in Asia and among Native Americans. In other Words: There was evidence of something spreading the Knowledge of Magic over the World, in a Way that would have been impossible for Ancient People of Atlantis.

But what was most distressing was this: Wizards and Witches of Al-Hazard were known for not using Wands like modern Earth Magicals, but instead they used weapon like, often Polearm resembling, Weapons instead. This was actually very much like those Magic Objects that no one could find. "Wait, what do you mean when you say Earth isn't aware of Magic? And how do you know already about it?" Asked Minerva, stepping back from the armed Girl who begun to glow and the next Second a new Outfit materialized around her.

Harriet now stood in a white Jacket with long Sleeves but who ended halfway down her Torso. To it she wore a Pair of black Shorts under a white Skirt with light blue Trimmings, just like her Jacket had. "Barrier Jacket: Guarding Falcon." Announced a Voice Minerva hadn't heard before, it sounded mechanic, artificial like from a Muggle Computer and seemed to come from the Gem in the Headpiece of the Weapon.

Harriet took the Weapon in both Hands and answered then, now looking a lot like what japanese People would call a Magical Girl: "What I mean? Earth has no Magic System, no Magetech, nothing points even to a Awareness of Magic and the Bureau is monitoring Earth since over 200 Years. So stop lying before I must get you to listen the Nanoha Way: By superior Firepower!" Minerva become slightly appalled as Magic Energy gathered between the Points where the three Tips made a small Crevice with the Middle one, who was shorter, being the Origin of the Sphere that was forming.

The Professor was glad that there was no one around, Harriet and her were the only ones around and so there was no Way Muggle would see the Girl suddenly reveal herself to be a Magical Girl, literally in this Case. "I'm not lying, there is a International Statute of Secrecy among Wizards, Muggle don't know and that 'Bureau' you're talking about probably doesn't know about it because of that, it has been in Effect for over 300 Years now, therefore it could be that this Bureau in Fact believes the same as Muggle, that there is no Magic in the World but, what is this Bureau anyway?" Tried the Woman to make the Girl stop attacking her, it was really worrying seeing as Muggle could come by any Moment.

Harriet frowned at her but then asked: "Crystal Soul, is there a Device on this Woman?" Minerva was confused, with whom was she talking?

To her shock Symbols flashed over the Orb briefly and the same feminine, artificial Voice sounded: "No Master, no Device detected. Check on Databases of Arthra and Skyline, have shown no Correspondence with the Bureau Databank of Mages in the Vicinity of Unadministered World #97 either." Explained the Voice and only then did Harriet lower her Weapon, adopting a guarded but not aggressive Stance without dismissing the Weapon or what Minerva assumed was a 'Barrier Jacket' as it was called.

Harriet scowled up to her, the Girl had the Aura of a Soldier more than a armed Child. "Alright, so you're Community was successful in hiding from a Interdimensional Government Body with Dimensional Spaceships, but what do you now want from me or my Sister?" Asked Harriet cautiously, now apparently believing her but, did that mean there were Spaceships in Orbit? Minerva knew that Word from several of her Muggleborn Students, it described any Machine capable of sustaining and Containing Human Life while in Outerspace, in Fiction often those were armed to the Teeth and had Shields.

Another Thing she realized, those Arthra and Skyline were probably Spaceships since she had checked their Databanks, meaning Computers, another Kind of Muggle Constraption. "It regards a Invitation to Hogwarts, a Boarding School in Scotland to teach Children to control their Magic. Japan has normally their own Magic School but because of a irregular large Amount of Students this Year and the incapability to take them all in they asked Hogwarts to take in Takamachi Nanoha anda Girl named Yagami Hayate. And, regarding you, you have been born in Britain and were therefore on our List of attendance anyway." She explained, uneasy about speaking about this Outside.

Harriet frowned before turning around. "Come Inside, I will contact the Arthra, Nanoha and Hayate-chan are currently there. But I don't think Hayate-chan can attend anyway, she is Wheelchair bound and has currently a Community Service to do." She explained while going in, confusing the Professor further, Community Service? What did that Girl do? She was after all only eleven from what they knew.

She followed the Girl into the living Room where she observed how Harriet held up her Staff in a Horizontal Fashion and a light blue Circle appeared beneath her, like some Magic Circle but she recognized a very complicated Arithmancy Array. "Energy flow stable, Target confirmed, Connection is specific." Announced Crystal Soul and then Harriet spread her Arms sideways and suddenly something like holographic Screens appeared around her, one showing a young Woman with lime green, long Hair in what appeared to be a blue Navy Uniform, another showing a brunette Girl around Harriets Age holding a ornate Staff with golden Headpiece and a red, large Gem in it, the third showed a light blonde Haired Girl with a french looking Hat holding another strange Staff in her hand, and the Fourth showing a Girl with long blonde Hair holding what looked like a black Poleaxe in her Hands.

The Pictures were partly showing their Body's and all the Girls wore strange Clothes the Professor identified as Barrier Jackets like Harriets. "Harriet-chan, is something?" Asked the Girl in the mostly white Outfit with a Staff whose Headpiece included a Cross. Even though her Hair was different and her Eyes a lighter Shade of blue, Minerva was sure this was Yagami Hayate, her Face was just looking like it. She only saw the Orphan in Pictures but she recognized her Face immediately.

The brunette Girl that she identified as Takamachi Nanoha, seemed to notice her first from them and asked: "Wait, who is that Woman with you Harriet? Has something happened?" The Concern for the other Girl was easily to hear in her Voice as she asked this and Minerva could actually understand, this was probably a big Secret amongst them and not something they usually shared, otherwise the Muggle would have known already about it.

Harriet looked over to her and answered then: "McGonnagal-san is from Britain, apparently there is a secret Magic Society and she works in a School that teaches the Children here to use Magic. She come to our House because she wanted to deliver a Invitation to Nanoha and me. And she has another one for Hayate-chan it seems. Should I bring her to the Arthra for Debriefing Lindy-Taicho?" The Woman in the Uniform seemed to think but Minerva found something else very disturbing, that blonde Girl had red Eyes. They were regular otherwise but they still were blood red. Did that mean Harriet was associating with a dark Witch? One that was so young as this one?

Lindy then nodded before any Questions could be asked and answered Harriet: "Sure Harriet-chan, I hope you will cooperate McGonnagal-san, I assure you that Harriet-chan can perform the Transit to the Arthra. Harriet-chan, please use the Transporterbooth on the Arthra as a Target Area, we will help you with the Transport." Harriet nodded and turned to the Witch in her House but Lindy added something else: "Oh, and Harriet, for the Time being you will be reactivated as a Contract Mage of the Bureau. So please behave." She nodded at that and the Connection was closed.

Minerva now become slightly nervous, she was to aparate there with a Girl performing it? She hadn't even been to first Year Classes, how was she able to aparate to where ever they were going? "Please remain calm McGonnagal-san, it won't take long." Assured Harriet in a serious Voice before stepping before her and turning around.

Again the Magic Circle sprang to live around them and the Staff, Crystal Soul, spoke up. "Destination confirmed, Coordinates secured. Long Range Teleportation authorized. Destination: Dimensional Cruiser Arthra, Moon Orbit, confirmed." Minervas Eyes widened at this, Moon Orbit? Dimensional Cruiser!? Did that mean she was teleporting into a-

"Long Range Teleportation, Go!" Called Harriet out and Streams of Light raised from the Circle before they were engulfed in it completely. Seconds later they found themselves in a small Canopy in a metallic Contraption. Before them stood a Man behind a Muggle Device that seemed connected to the raised Field they were on.

The Man smiled while Minerva fell to her Knees after she had just been teleported into Space. "Takamachi-san, the Transit was seamless I see. But our Guest seems a bit put off by it. First Long Range Teleport Miss?" Asked the Man smiling and she nodded dumbly, they acted as if this was something ordinary to them, but if this was actually Moon Orbit, that would be the longest Aparating ever done before!

Harriet giggled at that before shaking her Head and answered: "Have the others ended the Training for today? They should attend too since this is about us." The Man nodded and, while he led them through the apparent Ship, the two talked about one Thing or another while Minerva got a bit nervous, there were Windows, apparently they were at the Edge of the Ship but that didn't help. Emptiness of Space and the Moon very close up.

The Conversation of the Girl and the Man was like it was nothing to be on a Spaceship, for how long had that Girl been going into Space anyway? Oh wait, the Discharges that occurred partly due to her most likely, had been two Years ago. At least for two Years. Her Breath stocked as she noticed another Ship as they come to a turn in the Corridor. The Ship was a metallic blue Color and was made of a broad Engine Section that narrowed very abruptly roughly a Quarter of the Length of the Main Ship and a roughly half as wide, Blade like Section come then.

The Ship was partly behind the Moon, meaning the two Ships were quite a Distance away. After a over all 20 Minute Walk they entered a Room that didn't quite fit into the Ship. The Walls were white and a light blue Carpet was laid across the Floor. In one Corner of the Room stood a Contraption made of a Bamboo Pipe that was cut open on one Side and closed on the other with Water flowing in. It was made so that it could swing around while Water flowed from above into it.

A small Tea Table, like in a Japanese Household stood in the Center of the Room and other Doors led out of the Room. Around the Table sat the Woman she saw before, next to her on either Side the blonde Girl and a dark haired Boy in a black, long Jacket with gray Spikes on the Shoulders. To the Side stood a Wheelchair where Hayate sat, a blonde Woman in casual Clothes behind her and a... was that a Fairy? There stood a very small Girl with bluish white Hair on her Shoulder in something like a white Uniform.

Nanoha sat next to the blonde Girl with the red Eyes, in casual Clothes it seemed. Harriet herself dismissed the 'Barrier Jacket' and her Weapon returned to being a Pendant again. She sat herself next to the Boy in the Trenchcoat. This made it clear that she was supposed to sit facing the Woman who still wore the Uniform from before. "Please sit McGonnagal-san, Tea?" Asked the Woman with a pleasant Smile but she had a tremendous magical Aura about her as well, just like the Children around them.

She sat herself down, a uncomfortably with her Robes and looked to the blonde Girl with Twintails, she wore a Glove with a golden Triangle with a Sphere in it, Nanoha had a Pendant like Harriet had but hers was a simple red Orb. From what she saw so far Minerva supposed those were Devices as well. "Is something McGonnagal-san? You are looking at me so strangely?" Asked the Blonde Girl, a bit concerned sounding and looking as innocent as any eleven Year old Girl could do.

Minerva shook her Head, for all she knew this Girl could be a Alien, so she should clear this up. "I'm sorry but, I couldn't help but notice that you're Eyes are red. This is normally a Sign for a Practitioner of dark Magic." She explained, trying to clear it all up, the Girl could be innocent of all this after all and strange Eyecolors were regular here it seemed, seeing as Nanoha had purple Eyes.

Lindy raised a Hand in a calming Manner and explained: "That isn't the Reason for her Eye Color McGonnagal-san, it is her natural Eye-color." Minerva relaxed slightly at that, at least it didn't mean anything bad, right? Right? "Anyway, I may introduce us all to you, seeing as you're our Guest now. I'm Admiral Lindy Harloawn, this is my personal Flagship, the Dimensional Cruiser Arthra, currently we are in Moon Orbit and protecting the Science Cruiser Skyline, in Observation Position of Unadministered World #97, otherwise known as Earth. This to my right", she pointed to the young Man next to her, "is my Son, Enforcer Chrono Harloawn.

The Girl to my left is my adopted Daughter, Fate T. Harloawn, who works, like Nanoha-chan and Harriet-chan, as a Contract Mage for the Bureau, meaning they aren't direct Members but work together with the Bureau as Mages. The Girl in the Wheelchair is Yagami Hayate with her Guardian Knight Shamal of the Wolkenritter." She explained, the Girl and the young Woman nodding respectively. "Takamachi Nanoha-chan sits right next to Fate-chan, I already explained what her Status is, and Harriet-chan, her Sister, brought you here after all.

Regarding what Hayate-chan and Shamal-san do here, they are here in accordance to the Community Service they were sentenced to for four Years, two Years ago, in accordance to the 'Book of Darkness' Incident back then. Because of that I must insist, as ranking Officer of the Bureau, that Hayate and the four Knights known as the Wolkenritter, maintain their Work so Hayate can't attend this School of yours." She explained and Minerva was shocked that Children were sentenced to something for a Crime, that was unheard of.

She wasn't sure if Legilimency of this Shamal Woman was very strong and undetectable, breaking through her Defenses of Occlumency, but she seemed to know what troubled her and explained: "It is sadly our Fault McGonnagal-san. I am Shamal, Knight of the Lake and Member of the Wolkenritter, a Group of Knights that are deployed by the lost Logia known as the "Book of Darkness" when it becomes active with a chosen Master. In other Words, I, as well as the other Members of the Wolkenritter, are magical Constructs maintained with Hayate-chans Mana, the common Word for the magical Energy produced by the Linker Core of a Human Body. Our Existences and Maintenance was transferred shortly before the sealing of the Book and the Unison Device that was a Control Unit for the actual Book, to Hayate-chan completely, who was the last Master of the Book before it's Sealing.

At the Time of the Incident Admiral Harloawn speaks about we were collecting Linker Cores, the Organ that provides Magic Energy to Mages, at least partly stealing them, to fill the 666 Pages of the Book who would fill with Magic Energy from Linker Cores. We did this because Hayate-chans Linker Core has been sucked slowly by the Book to fill it's Pages. This caused her Legs to become paralyzed and ultimately she would have died from it. Right now Hayate-chan is in Reha and can only move on her own if she is in Unison with Reinforce-zwei, the Unison Device created based on Reinforce and who you see right now on her Shoulder." At that the little Girl on Hayates Shoulder bowed to the older Woman and the Witch just now understood that this was ANOTHER DEVICE! For Gods Sake, they were obviously more Muggle like than anything else and now here come a Human like one!

Lindy smiled at her shocked expression and explained: "I can understand that this is very strange, Unison Devices were invented by Ancient Belka, a Planet who was lost a long Time ago like Al-Hazard even before that. Reinforce-Zwei only could be created since we had the base Information and Build-up of a state of the Art, Ancient Belkan Unison Device like Reinforce." Explained Admiral Harloawn and Minerva had to admit this was more assuring than the thought of them creating something like that on a regular Base. Then she noticed how the Admirals Stance changed, before she had been friendly, open and welcoming, now she radiated suddenly something that screamed Power, that spoke of a Woman with Authority who was now here for Business and not Pleasantry's. "Anyway, that is enough about us. Like Harriet-chan here said you are part of a secret Magic Society on the Planet registered as Unadministered World Number 97, to it's Inhabitants though better known as Earth. Can you explain to us how this could be considering that latent Magical Power is rather rare from our Knowledge, on you're Planet? And a former Bureau Admiral lives in Britain?" Asked the Admiral and Minerva could see how everyone, including the Children, become serious, the Business Switch had been switched on by Admiral Harloawn, she wasn't Lindy-san anymore.

Harriet observed how Admiral Lindy Harloawn, no, not Lindy-san, but the Admiral that resided in the same Body as the kind Woman who always drunk her Tea with Sugar and Milk, chewed through Minerva McGonnagal, or rather, Professor Minerva McGonnagal, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Gits of it was that, due to the Witch Hunts, a Law of Secrecy was declared by the, by then, young Ministry of Magic and all other Government Body's of Wizardkind agreed. This Statute forbade any Wizard from playing Muggle Sports ("You're seriously only playing on Brooms, sitting? But won't you get fat from not working out?") to not mingle with Muggle Artifacts ("Wait, you mean my Handy is considered a Artifact by you? That is a State of the Art Mobile Telephone and you call it Artifact? Man, we should show her Graf Eisen, that Thing was built in Ancient Belka right?") and a Dress Guideline for when they were among Muggles, a Term she had to explain too ("Wait, but you run around in a Haloween Costume like Robe? I wore something like that to Haloween last Year for Fun.") Needless to say the whole thing was making them ridicule the whole Thing, more so since their whole Family and other of their Friends who were 'Muggle' knew of their Magic and coexistence between Magic Users and Ordinary People was very possible, seen on Mid-Childa and every other administered World.

Hell, they were a Group of four Girl that was regularly spamming Doombeams of Magic (read Friendship regarding Nanoha) so the Law against Underage Magic wasn't working on them. "The Trace, the Charm that traces Underage Magic, is only applied to the Wands of Underage Wizards and Witches. Therefore no one knew of it. And further, before someone attends for the first Time a School they won't be notified even with a Wand since accidental Magic is a common Occurrence with Children." Explained Professor McGonnagal to them but become just the Subject of more Questions who jokingly regarded Distances in dimension Space, for example if the Trace would work on Mid-Childa, or how they would try to charge them for it seeing as for all they knew there was no Spell or Charm in the Ministry's Books even remotely capable of fighting them, or even hitting them as they could fly.

Ultimately Professor McGonnagal was send back into a Village near Hogwarts they could detect with active Scans for Magic in that specific Area. Now followed the Discussion about what to do. "In any Case we need to know more about them than that to see whether or not official Contact with the Society would be advisable or not. From McGonnagal-Senseis Description there are very concerning Elements with a lot of Power in the Ministry that think some themselves some Kind of Elite. And from what we can see the Ministry lives still in a Kind of 17th Century of their own. Due to their isolation we would have Problems to send someone to investigate but, luckily we have two Mages who wouldn't be suspicious around them." Concluded Lindy while looking at Harriet and Nanoha who both had Invitations to Hogwarts after all.

Harriet nodded and answered: "No Problem, I will help for sure. It's after all not every Day you discover there was a whole Magic Community in you're Homeworld and no one knew about it, right?" Lindy nodded and looked to Nanoha who nodded as well, that was a good Team already, two of the strongest Mages of the Bureau. "Admiral, we could ask to speak with Professor Dumbledore to let Fate-chan attend as well, then we would be three together and could research better." Asked Harriet and Lindy smiled, good thinking on her Part it seemed, with Fate as well there they could cover more ground together.

Then something struck her. Harriet and Nanoha together had enough Firepower to level Great Britain to Sea Ground Level, with Fate that would be even worse, but on the other Hand Fate was a cooler Head and would most likely have Aruf with her on the Mission. "Good Idea, in two Days the Professor will come to you for Transport Harriet, Nanoha, so please take him to us to discuss this further." Answered Lindy and the Girls nodded.

Harriet couldn't help but think that Summer Vacation now had ended, she was back in the Job prematurely.

Two Days later Harriet trained with Kyoya, her older Stepbrother.

Even though she was smaller, weaker and not an Ace in Kendo like him, she was a good Match due to her own Mage Fighting Style where Awareness of roughly 20 to 50 Targets was usual. They both wore full Kendo Armor and used the same Swords until they heard the Doorbell being rang.

They paused and waited until it come what they had expected: "Harriet-chan! This Professor Dumbledore is here!" Called Miyuki, the second oldest Child of the Family, not much younger than Kyoya though. Harriet took off her Helmet and hung up the Kendo Sword before jogging into the House and then to the Door. There she thought at first she had now met Merlin from the Legends of Arthur in Britain, he had a incredible long Beard and long Hair too, looking extremely old in her Opinion. His Nose was crooked like it had been broken twice at some Points of his Life and he had Halfmoon Glasses.

Most Notably though he wore a purple Garment that reminded her of Professor McGonnagals, a Wizard Robe in other Words. She wondered how no one told the old Man to wear something more 'Muggle'-ish for a Change. "You must be Harriet, interesting Cloths you wear there young lad." Greeted the old Man with a amused twinkle in his Eyes, probably because of what she was wearing.

Harriet grinned too and answered: "That is a Kendo Armor Dumbledore-Sensei, I was practicing together with my older Brother Kyoya just now. And I warn you, don't make fun of me or I change into another Kind of Armor where none of you're Spells will help against." Her Warning was correct, from what they had gathered from Professor McGonnagal, Wizard Spells were generally between F-Rank to C-Rank, the latter being the Killing Curse alone. A Barrier Jacket protected against anything up to C+-Rank so she was save from any of his Spells for all she knew.

It was a bit off putting as something from under her Armor spoke up: "Warning Master, I have found a Lost Logia like Object in Possession of this Man. Advice to Caution. Type: Amplification Device-Type like Object." Informed Crystal Soul, making her frown at the Man who looked confused by this, but considering they had no Idea about Lost Logia this was probably to be expected.

She held her right Arm out, Crystal Soul appearing in her Hand and her Barrier Jacket appearing around her. This one had Armored Shoulderpads, a Chest Armor and Armored Gauntlets and Boots on it. "Professor, if you're in possession of some Kind of powerful Artifact you don't know the Origins of, then hand it over peacefully because Lost Logia are a few Grades above you're Paygrade." She asked the Man, holding the Device Form of her Intelligent Device at Chest Height.

The Man blinked for a Moment while Miyuki stepped back, if Harriet was going all 'Bureau Officer' on this Man then it was important. "I might know what you mean but the Object is simply a very powerful Wand, it doesn't have a Consciousness of it's own like I understand you're Device does." He tried to make her Stop but made her simply frown more, not good.

Harriet answered at his attempt at calming her down in a Example: "The Tome of the Night Sky was a simple, though powerful, Storage Device without artificial Intelligence of it's own but connected to the Unison Device Reinforce. Modifications to this Device that was powerful but simple, caused it to become a Lost Logia, one that destroyed many Worlds in it's Time of Terror and nearly our Homeworld too. This Book, was later known as the Book of Darkness. So please bear with me when I don't trust the assessment of someone who has no Idea how dangerous such Artifacts can be who you can't understand." Dumbledore was put off here but he couldn't help but to respect this, she was right in so far that she knew more about this.

He sighed and pulled out a very old looking Wand. The Wood radiated Power and seemed completely conductive to Mana from what she felt. "This is the Elder Wand, it is known as one of the three deathly Hallows. Those Artifacts have been mentioned in a Fairy Tale Story about the Tivarell Brothers and their Encounter with Death himself, according to whom this Wand was created by Death himself like the other Deathly Hallows." He explained to the young Girl and gave the Wand to her, she didn't know Wizard Spells and he doubted she could perform her own Magic with this Wand.

She looked it over, holding it in her left Hand since her right held her Device, and asked then: "Crystal Soul, detailed Analysis of this Artifact. Any Dangerous Data please reporting. Include Material and Composition. And send a Message up to Skyline to prepare a Laboratory if we need to investigate this Thing more thoroughly." Dumbledore was surprised by this but didn't say anything, Professor McGonnagal told him that Harriet was a professional and in Moon Orbit were two Spaceships, one of them a Warship, the other a Science Cruiser and the Science Vessel was named Skyline, why that Ship was here he couldn't imagine.

After a Minute or so Crystal Soul spoke up finally: "Scan complete. Composition: Elder Wood Wand, Unknown Material found in the Core. Substance has triggered a highly Mana conductive Aspect in the Wood. No Computerization found, Object reminiscent of the Magic Tools used on Administered World 13, Gaimara. Galmara Mages used in ancient Times Magic based on Ritual and Intent. They were first conquered by Ancient Belka around 590 Years ago,Traces of this Magic System are still on the Planet. Treat Assessment of this Artifact: It can be presumably used for Terran Magic and Magnify the Strength of a Spell. Treat to anything without this Intent: Low." Dumbledore relaxed as he heard that, at least the Wand wouldn't be taken away, how long ago did he use his original Wand the last Time? He didn't know.

Harriet sighed in Relief and gave it back to him before informing him: "I must insist though that you let the Technicians on the Skyline look it over, since their Equipment is more sophisticated than my Device for this Type of Analysis." Informed Harriet him as he tucked away the Deathly Hallow again in his Wandholster around his Wrist. As he nodded her Barrier Jacket glowed again, changing into a more civil Outfit. This one was made of a light blue T-Shirt, a Pair of blue Denim Pants and blue Shoes. Over the T-Shirt was a Jacket in white with blue Lining and he understood that this was another Form of her Barrier Jacket.

From Professor McGonnagals Report he understood that this Barrier Jacket was created by the Wearer with Magic Energy, therefore it's Form was able to change at Will and was never the same. For example the Uniforms of Admiral Harloawn and her Son were in Fact Barrier Jackets and they wore simpler Clothes actually.

They walked into the Living Room where Nanoha sat with a Boy with sandy blonde Hair who wore a short sleeved Shirt under a beige Coat and beige Pants with Boots. The Magic radiating from him told Dubledore that this Boy was another Mage. "Okay Guys, we have a appointment to get to, Yuuno-kun, can you do the Teleportation Spell?" Asked Harriet as the two stood up, making Dumbledore confused since he didn't take out such a Device.

Still a green Magic Circle appeared beneath them with Yuuno holding out his right Hand with a glowing Orb above it. "Long Range Teleport, ENGAGE!" Called the Boy out and then they vanished simply, reappearing aboard the Arthra.

The three Children led the old Man to a large Conference Room where Admiral Lindy, from the Description, with who he supposed was her Son and the red eyed Fate awaited them. "Welcome on board of the Arthra Professor, I hope you're Travel was enjoyable?" Asked the Admiral friendly and he nodded, the Room was rather dark he noted but the glowing Patch in the Table in the Center made him suspect there was a holographic Projector like in some Muggle Fiction Series in there, so that was to be expected.

He sat on the Opposite End to Admiral Lindy, flanked by Nanoha and Harriet who both had already their Devices out around the Start of the Travel. Some could say it was for courtesy or something but he understood that both Girls were considered strong enough to work as a Security Detail and to hold him with their Magic should he become hostile.

Admiral Harloawn jumped right to the Case though, she seemed eager to get this done. "Professor, this Meeting has been asked for to discuss with you the next Steps. As you know the Bureau hasn't contacted you're Government because we weren't aware of any Magical Society on you're World and the 'Muggle' as you call them, hadn't discovered how to harness Magic with their Technology, or used Magic so far. Now that we discovered you the Admirality of the Bureau has given the Order to investigate in Order to see if a official Contact should be established. Should this happen the Bureau would ask you're World to establish a Embassy somewhere and extend the proposition of becoming a Member World.

Should you're Government decline the latter, nothing will happen, should both be declined nothing will change and this World will remain under indirect Surveillance should, once again, a Lost Logia related Incident happen since those are too powerful and complicated to be handled without any Understanding." Explained Admiral Harloawn and Dumbledore was interested in that Tidbit, so Earth was under indirect Protection by this Bureau for a while already. "Another Thing we would like to discuss is Harriet-chans Scar, as you might have noticed it is only faintly there but it was more noticeable before. This was our doing. As we made first Contact with her and her Group at the Time of the Pressea Testarossa Incident, we noticed a strange Magic Signature in there. It was like a Leech, feeding off her Linker Core, a Fragment of another ones Consciousness. We removed it with our Technology and sealed it but we would like to know if you know something about this Incident." Dumbledore was a bit put off, they had done that? But now that he looked, the Scar was nearly unnoticeable on the Girls Forehead.

He shook his Head, glad that Harriet didn't need to sacrifice herself in Order to defeat that man. "I do know about it, it is a dark, forbidden Art that was done without the Knowledge of the Person doing it. Nearly ten Years ago, at Haloween of 1981, a dangerous Man calling himself Voldemort, assassinated Harriets biological Parents and attempted the same with her, using the killing Curse. The Spell rebounded thanks to a Sacrificial Charm created by Lilly Potter, Harriets Mother, by not stepping aside and being killed with ample Chance to flee, trying to protect her Child. The Spell, as I said, rebound on him instead, destroying his Body but a Fragment of his Soul, split off on the Act of killing James and Lilly Potter with the Killing Curse, searched for a Host and imbedded itself into the Scar.

A Object, Animal or Person, in whose Body such a Fragment has been imbedded, is called a Horcrux. To create a Horcrux is a forbidden Art because the splitting of the Soul itself is done by killing with the killing Curse, who itself, is forbidden. A Horcrux works as a Anchor to the World of the living, this prevents the Soul from reaching the Afterlife. Normally a Horcrux would have to be destroyed but that you were able to remove the Fragment from Harriet is a Relieve to me." He explained and made them all pale in that Knowledge, such a Magic Art existed and was known?

Harriet frowned and asked: "Why has that Man done that? And who calls himself 'Voldemort', I haven't taken French for Classes but I know from the Internet that this Word means 'Flight from Death' or so, right?" Dumbledore hadn't thought about that honestly said, but a good Question though.

He sighed, that could become complicated. But since the Bureau could most likely help considering they were a whole Organization that couldn't be infiltrated by Voldemort he had to try and make them side with them against Voldemort. So he explained everything to them, about Voldemorts War for Control over the World, his Followers, the Fear of the People still residing and making them not call him by Name due to how he killed anyone who said his Name.

He even told them about how Voldemort despised any Muggle-born and Muggle as well for his Father had been one and had left his Mother to die as she was pregnant with him. Finally they come to the Part concerning the Investigation again. "Now Professor, whether the Bureau will help should Voldemort return or not isn't concerned with how it goes, Earth is under indirect Protection by the Bureau even though we won't involve ourselves in local Politics so will we protect the Civilians should something like that come to be. But to see whether or not Contact is established must be decided in a Investigation. Therefore we would like to send Officers onto the Planet and to live with the Locals. But since this would be a Problem for any adult Officer we have, Cadets Harriet and Nanoha have agreed in their Position as Contract Mage of the Bureau, to use their Time at Hogwarts when they attend, to investigate. Though we would ask that another Contract Mage, my Daughter Fate, would be allowed to attend to make up a Team of four with her Familar Aruf." As if on Cue Aruf entered the Room, in her Puppy Form mind you. She looked like a small, reddish orange Puppy with strange Tufts of Fur on her Shoulders and Legs. Though that was normal, at least for a Mid-Childan Wolf that is.

He blinked as Aruf jumped onto Fates Lap, waggin her Tail happily. "I heard my Name, and her I am." She said and made Dumbledore jump up in surprise, that Puppy could talk and- was it magically connected to Fate? Aruf turned to him, a lopsided Wolf Grin on her Face. "Hello there, I'm Aruf, Mid-Childan Wolf Familiar Extraordinaire, nice to meet you." She introduced herself and Dumbledore blinked, a Wolf? A Alien Wolf? Alright, now he had seen all Sorts of Familiars, he remembered someone bringing a Testral for a Familiar with him as he was still the Transfiguration Teacher at Hogwarts, after all that was till now the strangest but this Puppy was a new Level.

Fate smiled and explained: "Since we have different Views on what a Familiar is, should I tell you what the Definition here is?" He just nodded and Aruf jumped off her Masters Lap, turning into the Teenage Woman that was her Human Form in full Size, startling him. "A Familiar, called a Guardian Beast in Ancient Belka, is a Animal whose Soul was bound to a artificial, magical Body by a Mage. I did this to Aruf since I found her near our Home with my biological Mothers Familiar, she was still a Puppy back then but had a very bad Disease and was abandoned by her Pack to save the other Puppy's. Since that Disease didn't transfer to her new Body I turned her into a Familiar but without setting up a Purpose, therefore Aruf will exist until I die unless I release her from her Existence as a Familiar back into a Animal, still with all the Intelligence she had gained through becoming a Familiar but unable to take on this Form." She explained and Dumbledore was stumped, that was a very complicated sounding Progress, that the Girl had done this probably as a Child...

Harriet was it who asked one Question he didn't expect: "What exactly is Hogwarts anyway? Must be pretty out of the Way to not get noticed with all those Satellites the Americans and other Country's send into Orbit on a regular Base*." He blinked, Satellites... Satellites... Oh! Those Metal Objects that appeared in more and more Masses in Orbit and got Professor Siniestra to throw a Fit over her Students getting Starcharts wrong all the Time.

He chuckled, probably some of them could pin-point Locations, wouldn't surprise him. "Hogwarts is a Castle in the Highlands near the Village Hogsmeade, a Wizard only Village and Community. The Castle has a Number of protective Wards, among others unplottability, a Muggle repelling Ward and one to detect if someone enters the Property, including the forbidden Forest on Schoolgrounds and the black Lake." He explained, confusing the Girls a bit but explained that the Names had Reasons for this. "Anyway, I can arrange this easily, but if this 'Contact' is made we will need to catigorize Miss Aruf officially, otherwise the Parents will have my Head for letting a unknown magical Being onto the Campus longer than needed." He explained to them and they nodded surprisingly, probably knowing that a Wolf with Magic Power like Aruf would be scary once it come out, he was just interested how Haggrid would react to this new Animal from another World, literally.

They talked some more about Politics and what the Bureau would do should they decide to make official Contact, he was a bit concerned that they would recommend Disclosure to the Muggles there was a good Chance that some Muggle were in Fact able to learn Mid-Childan Magic and a unified World would be easier to deal with. Further they decided that at the earliest in four Years they would make Contact if the Observation Team deemed it advisable to do so, that a Trio of eleven Year old Girls would do that was a bit off putting to him, the Confidence in them was really strong if this Mission was laid upon them.

It was further deemed that should official Contact happen the Team would need to have Permission to leave Hogwarts if another Mission come up since they still were Contract Mages of the Bureau. Further he agreed for Yuuno Scrya, a Mage Variant of a Animagus, to go as Nanohas 'Pet Ferret' since that was his Animal Form and he would be a Supporter like Aruf should anything happen.

To put it short: This would be a very troublesome seven Years for him.

*At this Point in Time the Nasa was still running and Satellites had to be a Nuisance to Hogwarts like that.

So here ends the first Chapter of my Attempt at a MGLN/HP Crossover, Fem!Harry and Mage!Harry included. As for Harriets Spells, most of them are the same Nanoha uses though she has some other Spells too, this comes from the two training together since the Pressea Testarossa Incident so that Harriet had been along with Nanoha from the Start.

If anyone finds Harriet was overreacting with Professor McGonnagal, if there stood a unknown Woman before you're Door and doesn't leave even though you tell her so, you would probably react that Way too. Regarding Harriet practicing Kendo and Karate, that is a Consequence of her being adopted by the Takamachi Family, Takamachi Shiro was in Fact a Bodyguard in Canon, but in the Triangleheart 3 Game he had died Years ago while in MGLN he survived.

His older Children are pretty good at Kendo in that Continuity and seem to be so in MGLN as well.

'Disclosure' happened in MGLN A's, where Nanoha told her Friends and Family everything, Harriet was just added in that Continuity and fought along with everyone in the Incidents but didn't change much about the Outcome of those.

As you can see Crystal Soul is a intelligent Device with a Cartridge System like Bardiche Assault and Raising Heart Excellion have. Regarding the Timeframe for the Contact Attempt, I choose this consciously since I plan to have the Bureau play a Role in the Triwizard Tournament in the fourth Book. So yeah, they will make Contact *Spoiler Alert* but they will rattle the Ministry even before, I mean: Did you see how Nanoha managed Quattro in StrikerS? Now Imagine this with a Castle that doesn't have a Anti Magic Field on it, with Spells exceeding the Killing Curse.

Regarding my Assumption to Strength... Compare what the Killing Curse does with what Nanoha can do with a Divine Buster, the Power is OVER 9000! Sorry Vegeta, you have to endure some more 'over 9000' Jokes in the Future, it is just so funny.
