'Harry's thoughts'

Eywa

You guys. I love every single one of you. A story that I wasn't expecting anyone to read at all has gotten almost 600 reads in lest then 2 months. We are only at chapter 10. I am expecting this story to be longer, because I really don't like short books. That also means that if enough people want me too, I will make a sequel. 

Again, shameless self advertisement, Read my new story if you like Harry Potter crossovers. I am excited for it. If you don't like LGBTQ+ then I wouldn't recommend it, but if you did why are you reading this? Anyway, read it and tell me how I am doing. 

I am so sorry for the short chapter. My normal chapters are always more then fifteen hundred words, but this one barely breaks thirteen hundred. I wanted to fit this in somewhere, but the next chapter will be dedicated to more Harry x Tsu'tey. 

Again, love you all! Your comments Make my day!

This chapter is dedicated to all of the insomniacs. You are my people.

''We cannot let this continue, Selfridge.'' Quaritch slammed his hands down on the man's desk. ''He is ruining everything that we have built here. All of the blood, sweat, and work that we have put into this operation is about to be flushed down the toilet all because of new meat. This guy hasn't been here for more then two weeks and he is already tearing everything apart.''

''There really is nothing that we can do here. My hands are just as tied up as yours are.'' Parker Selfridge said, leaning back in his chair. He of course knew exactly who Quaritch was talking about. Harry Potter had been a thorn in his ass ever since he stepped off of the ship he came on. ''He is just as much my superior as he is yours. I can't speak against him. I could be charged with treason and sent to prison.'' 

''There isn't anything that you can do?'' Quaritch was at the end of his rope. Before that damn general stepped foot in the base, His base, He had everyone working under him. There wasn't a single thing that happened at Hell's Gate that he didn't know about. 

Nothing. 

Nothing happened that he didn't want to happen. 

And he had jurisdiction over it all. The marine's faction followed him without question, despite his less then adequate way of dealing with the indigenous tribes on Pandora. He had the scientists under his rule, doing exactly what he told them too do because they knew that if they didn't, they would be sent back to earth. The only person not under his jurisdiction was that bitch Grace Augustine. Sure, he had his ways of dealing with her, but he couldn't carry them out. With a new general on base, his taste for her blood would have to be put to rest. He could not murder the scientist without Hadrian Potter finding out. 

He might have been top dog around these parts, but Grace had just as much influence as him, and a lot more followers. It was a known fact that the scientists were greater in numbers then his marines, and he wasn't a fool. He knew that given the choice, they would all side with Grace. 

No, Quaritch wasn't a fool. He knew that he was loosing. 

''I'm sorry, Kernel. Hadrian is a higher rank above me. I shouldn't even be having this conversation with you right now. If word made it back to him, I would get fired and rotated back to a planet that I would ultimately have nothing on.'' Yes, Parker knew that Harry was crashing up his operation, but he also knew that he couldn't fight the Three Star General. If Harry didn't kick his ass, then he could be sent to federal prison for disobeying his higher ups when he got back to earth. 

He liked his income to much to fight. 

''However, I am sure that you will find something.'' Parker said, smirking at the kernel. Yes, he knew that he would get his ass kicked if he challenged the general. However, technically he wasn't speaking against the man. 

''Yeah, I will think of something.'' Quaritch knew the game that Parker was playing at, and he would make sure that he would damn well win. 

''Good talk, Kernel. I'll see you later, I have paperwork to do.'' Parker said, waving his hand in dismissal. Instead of arguing with the man, Quaritch obeyed and left the room. 

He had shit to do. 

__________________________

''Is Hadrian asleep?'' Quaritch asked the scientist, a man that would give everything away to satisfy a personal vendetta against the General. 

''Yes sir.'' The scientist said, watching the link chamber lights as they flashed. It had been a few hours since they current group had gone under, and he knew from experience that they would not be coming back out for a long time yet. 

''Good. I need you to alert me if he wakes up in the next two hours.'' Quaritch said, dismissing himself from the lab. He knew that he only had a few hours to do this, and giving the entire military two hours to assemble was going to be a stretch, but he knew that he had no choice. 

This was his one chance.

''Will do sir.'' Norm said, watching the man leave. Harry would pay for what happened between them. He would make sure of it. 

The sweet taste of revenge was an addicting taste, and Norm had finally gotten to bite that forbidden fruit. 

_____________________________

Quaritch smirked at the amount of people in the room. 

''Everyone here is in agreement that the new general, Hadrian Potter, needs to be taken care of. Everyone in this room is loyal only to me.'' Quaritch yelled, smirking at the way that everyone in the room seemed to stand up a little taller. 

''Yes sir!'' The room chorused together. Many of them saluted in sync, and all of them had a confirming look on their face. 

There was no doubt in Quaritch's mind. 

Everyone in this room was loyal to him, and only him. No matter his status in Hell's Gate, he had the backing of every single marine on this base. 

''It has come to my attention that I no longer hold the top rank in this base anymore.'' Quaritch started, smirking at the way that every body in the room stood at attention. ''The new general, Hadrian Potter, is more then four ranks above me. Because of that, our entire operation on this planet will fail. Hadrian Potter is fucking everything up and if this continues, the RDA will have to do something about it. However, it is hard to do something about it when the top ranking officer is the one destroying everything.'' Whispers started up around the room, all of them agreeing with the scarred man. ''This also means that none of you will get your money, and all of you will be rotated back. We can not let that happen. We have carved ourselves out a niche in this damn planet and damn it, we are going to stay here.'' 

The group of over one hundred started to get louder. At the mention of not getting paid, many of them cemented their loyalty to the kernel that they had been following from anywhere from two years to ten. 

At the mention of being forced to go back to earth, every other soldier cemented their loyalty with the tyrannical kernel. They had lived here for years, they were not going to be forced out by a general who hadn't even been here for two weeks. 

Within the hour, Quaritch had gathered his own band of followers against Hadrian Potter. 

Within the hour, Quaritch had signed the death warrant of everyone in that room. 

Only, none of them knew it yet.
