Harry groaned as he woke a few hours later "Finally awake, I see" terry said with a grin, "hi terry" Harry greeted tiredly as set about waking up his cubs "are they awake yet?" Lillian asked as she entered the room " yes, moon" Terry said annoyed, "What time is it?" Anthony asked as he got up and out of bed "almost 3, we figured y'all needed your sleep" Lillian said with a shrug. " Where are the others?" Harry asked as he got out of bed with luna " Li's waiting downstairs, Hermione and Neville didn't want to get caught in the Ravenclaw common room, so they opted to meet us at the library. Harry's mind wandered back to a few days ago, he quickly grabbed the bag full of jewelry pieces, he knew that none of them had the best occulemacy shields and he didn't like the idea of dumbledore or snape knowing his identity yet.

The group made their way to the almost empty library and went over to the table Hermione and Neville were already sitting at, "do you know why we had to take an alternative way to Hogwarts?" Neville asked once everyone was seated, "Mundanes planted bombs in king cross, set to go off at 10, it was decided it would be easier and safer to use an alternative transport then to work around a bomb to even try to deactivate it" harry explained. Everyone had various looks of concern, worry or anger " what is it that you wanted to ask us Harry? " Luna asked causing harry to look at her fondly before turning back to the group "it's a project I'm working on to ensure Mundanes can never take out Hogwarts again, I'm trying to figure out a way to get a magical into space without dealing with the mundane government" Harry explained. " Why do you want to go to space? " Lillian asked " Maybe a hijack a rocket? " Terry offered " I know you gave a reason but why exactly is space your best bet? " Hermione asked " I've figured out that the Mundane satellites helped reveal Hogwarts to them, if we can get into space, I'll be able to add runes to each satellite and that will strengthen the wards" harry explained.

" We wouldn't be able to get away with stealing a rocket, not to mention how much training we'd have to go through " Hermione said in deep thought " my partner suggested a form of apparition but it's to big a distance and you have to have a line of sight" harry explained. " You'd also need a space suit, bubble head charm is a must but we'll need protection while we're in space " terry added, " not to mention training in how to move in zero gravity " Luna added, " there's nothing holding you to the ground on the moon, you'll float, meaning ontop of training you'll need some sort of prolusion " li said when she saw the confused looks on the purebloods faces. "We could use the Room of requirements as a zero-g training room, summoning charms would work as a form of Prolusion" harry said thoughtfully, " what if we used brooms? " Terry asked "they wouldn't make it" Hermione said immediately, harry perked up and pulled out his pencil and notebook.

"Not the modern ones as they are but if you did.... Drop these spells.... Add these..." Harry mumbled as he worked it out "your thinking out loud" Anthony said helpfully, harry waved his hand dismissively before getting back to his idea, the group shared a slight smile, this was the first time he was truly excited about something, most of the time he looked bored. "I got it! I'll have to order a few firebolts to test it" Harry said "your going to ruin perfectly good firebolts" terry asked with a whimper " yes, but I'll put them back together when I'm done, the spellwork on them is easy enough as it is" harry said nonchalantly, he had made a habit of messing with his firebolt after the war, he could take one apart and put back together in his sleep.

"We can go to the room next weekend, practice with zero-g" harry said as they started to make their way to the great hall, "Does that mean we'd be able to go with you?" Terry asked excitingly, harry blinked before imaging Voldemort's expression when he found out, "sure, it'll be fun" harry said while hiding a smile. Terry cheered as he threw an arm around Harry's shoulder "have I told you how amazing you are?" Terry asked "not recently" harry returned with a smirk, "and when exactly would this mission happen" Hermione asked sternly "on a weekend, we should be back in time" Harry said, shrugging. " And if you don't? " Hermione demanded, harry carefully flashed her his time turner causing Hermione to freeze " it's a time turner " harry whispered when the group stopped, circling him to see what ever it was that shocked Hermione.

"Why do you have one?" Li asked while Hermione got out of her shock and punched harry "what was that for?!" Harry asked with a pout "don't forget to set aside a few hours for sleep hermione, don't wait all those extra hours on school work hermione" Hermione repeating a couple of things harry had said in their third year. "You had a time turner? " Li asked "That's how you took so many classes! That's cheating Granger" Lillian exclaimed in realization, "Mcgonagall gave it to her at the sorting, Hermione gave it back during winter break when we managed to convince her to drop a few classes" Harry explained. "Your not taking extra classes Harry, why and how do you have one?" Terry asked " he stole it" Anthony said helpfully, " More like I liberated it from a boring shelf life, being buried under time sand" Harry corrected as they resumed walking.

Hermione stopped just outside of the great hall" Harry did you consider saving the people from the bombings? " Hermione asked curiously " yes, while I still let the bomb detonate, the real members of the house are safely living in one of the properties I own, though I only take those that are accepting of magic" Harry explained, the friends looked at him in a new light, he was saving people, protecting them, even when he had every reason to let every mundane burn.
