Notes
     I’m looking for a co-writer/beta reader to help me to write this
     story. I want someone who can help me with sentence structure, along
     with making sure that what I wrote fits, and is spelt right and such.
     And if possible, someone who can add, alter and delete what shouldn’t
     be there. I also want someone to help me with Fallout Lore, some to

Summary: Read as the worlds of Harry Potter and Fallout combined, where slight
changes in history in this new world, creates a new but yet somewhat same
future as seen in Fallout.
 
In the Fallout World, a new government system a new alien race that visited
Earth and learning about magic, changes more than suspected. And whilst the
changes altered US future, the outcome is the same nuclear war. The first half
of the story, and until we get to Fallout 4 will be around the characters
around Fallout.
 
With Harry Potter, after the second Blood War within the Wizarding World, Harry
was invited to see his Uncle for one last time, where Vernon wanted talk to him
one last time and then never seeing each other again. But upon visiting his
Uncle, Harry was betrayed by the man, as he was knocked out and soon
experimented on over the next few years before being put into stasis, where for
hundreds of year later awaken in a new world: an Apocalyptic World.
 
What well Harry be like where there are no law to the land, will he be the
survivor of this new time and world, or will he be part of the problem? Become
a new tyrant who’ll try and rule the lands he now found himself in. Read and
find out.
 
Warnings: This story is mainly about the Apocalyptic World, where there’s no
rules or laws governing the world, so anything and everything you can think of
can be suspected to be seen in this story. So be warned, if you got a faint
heart or high morals, this story isn’t for you. This is going to be a realistic
version of Fallout. Slight reference to Mass Effect.
 
Because the first off of this story is about the world around Fallout, the
story of the games, and see if I can add more detail as I add magic into the
world of Fallout. So suspect dark things to happen.
 
Disclaimer: I do not in any shape or form own Harry Potter or Fallout , be it
characters, spells, items, or anything else that’s connected to the Harry
Potter books/movies; they all belong to J. K. Rowling & the Warner Bros
Pictures. And any characters, places and items from Fallout are owned by
Bethesda Softworks. I don’t even earn any money from this… Damn shame…
 
The only characters that I do own are the ones that you haven’t read about in
the books, or seen in the games.

                               Great War Begins!
 
16th of October 2077:
 
‘War, War Never Changes,’Were the words going through Nathan ‘Nate’ Archer’s
head as he sat at his desk, thinking about the speech that he was writing for
the Veteran's Hall, Fraternal Post 115, in Cambridge. It had been about three
years since he left the Sino-American War, when his two years of service ended.
He could have renlisted, and many wanted him to as he was the best Combat
Engineer that the 2nd Battalion of the 108th Infantry Regiment had, but Nate
wanted to start a family. It was at this time that he meet Nora Walker, a
twenty year old law student at Suffolk County School of Law, who was in her
last year at law school. They married in the year 2076 and in 2077 had their
first son, Shaun.
 
For his speech for Veteran's Hall, he was going to start about his great-great-
grandfather who was serving in the army in the year 1945, and was wondering if
he was going to make it back to his wife and son that he’d never seen because
he entered the war before he was born.
 
He would go on to explain that his great-great-grandfather got his wish when
the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
From there the World awaited Armageddon, as they feared that the other
countries would retaliate in some way because of the nuclear attack, but
nothing happened; instead, something miraculous occurred. The world began to
use atomic energy not as a weapon, but a nearly limitless source of power.
People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction: domestic
robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers to name a few.
 
Then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream. Years of
consumption lead to shortages of every major resource; the entire world
unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. Nate would then explain that it is
now 2077, and they stand on the brink of total world war, and he was afraid.
Not only for himself, but for his wife and infant son, because if his time in
the army taught him one thing: it's that war, war never changes.
 
Now here he was, wondering where to go from there, how would he explain his
thoughts? His speech was meant to be made in about two weeks time, and yet Nate
was having problems writing the rest of it, not knowing where to go. With a
sigh, Nathan decided to take a break.
 
As he went to the bathroom to get a wash, he looked in the sink mirror at
himself, and saw the scars from his time in the war. Although his face had
mostly healed, he knew where they were, and knew that the one across his right
eye and on his upper lip would never fully be healed. He's a decorated war
veteran, served his country since he was eighteen, now twenty-nine watching as
age and the stress of the war took its toll.
 
He was six foot two, and his once tan skin, was now paler with a few scars
across his body. As he took a closer look at his face, he noticed the wrinkles
and crow's feet. His hair, which was once once jet black, was starting to grey
along the sides, which upset him a bit seeing he was too young to go grey so
soon. His eyes are dark brown, and had a sleepy look about them since the war,
because of his nightmares; nightmares of the deaths of his friends, of those he
killed and the innocent he couldn’t help. In the last year, he was seeing a
counsellor because of them, which was slowly helping. He was glad he kept his
body in top from, he wouldn’t say he had a body of a weightlifter, but it
wasn’t one to scoff at, it was better than most people's bodies.
 
As he looked at his body, he thought about the last few years, and what he had
been up to. Since he left the war, he had been working for the Commonwealth
Council, as part of one of their Offices, the Commonwealth Security Services,
better known as C-Sec. A police service answering only to the Commonwealth
Council, who answered to the President of the USA.
 
There were six divisions at C-Sec, the first was Enforcement, uniformed
officers who patrol the Commonwealth and respond to emergencies. Investigation,
detectives who puzzle out the truth behind crimes and bring perpetrators to
justice. Customs, screening the thousands of passengers and cargo containers
that pass through the Commonwealth’s ports every day. Network, dealing with
what the Commonwealth Council calls ‘cybercrimes,’ like identity and copyright
theft, hacking, viral attacks, and illegal artificial intelligence within the
Council itself, or any of the businesses that have networks connecting it
together. Nate was shocked a bit about the network that was being used, it
would seem that only the Council use it fully, and the businesses only have a
limited use. Special Response, deals with things like hostage situations,
bombs, and heavily armed criminals. In the unlikely event that attackers enter
the Council Building, they are the first line of defense, armed with military
grade equipment. Finally Patrol, which has bases stationed throughout the
Commonwealth. Unlike the other divisions, they are rarely seen at the Council,
nor do they stay in one place long. As they go around, keeping an eye out for
threats.
 
Because of his training in the US Army as a Combat Engineer, he was able to get
a job in the office of Special Response. Well, that was the cover story
anyway;, you see, whilst he didwork for C-Sec, he was working for the
Commonwealth Council in another way too, as a Spectre.
 
Spectres were from a different office of the Commonwealth Council, the Office
of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance, and they have no real command structure,
other than answering to the Commonwealth Council and the President of the USA.
Even then, in most cases the Council and the President prefers not to know the
exact details of how a Spectre accomplishes their mission. This was so they
could deny everything should something go wrong.
 
The public don't know much about the Spectres, as all records are sealed and
only granted access with permission of the Council, which is rarely done. A
Spectre could be anyone, until they are called upon, they work just like anyone
else, in any job. They could be a friend, a neighbor, even a family member. It
is not even clear how many there are: but from C-Secs intelligence, the
estimates were fewer than a hundred. Each Spectre is hand-picked by the Council
after proving that they are an individual of exceptional ability and self-
reliance.
 
The public knew that, should they see a Spectre, then something big was going
on. They are only called upon as the very last option, when all other options
are used up, the Spectres were often the last call of action before going to
war. Although they are at times called upon in a state of emergency, when C-
Sec, even the military, are unable to deal with the threat alone.
 
In most cases Spectres are elite military operatives, granted the authority to
deal with threats to the peace and stability of the nation, in whatever way
they deem necessary. Either with careful diplomacy or ruthless force, being
officially above any law.
 
Spectres operate independently or in groups of two or three. Some are
empathetic peacekeepers, resolving disputes through diplomacy, using force as a
last resort. Others are cold-blooded assassins, ruthlessly dispatching problem
individuals. All get the job done, one way or another, often operating outside
of the bounds of the law. Because of this, there are some that sees the
Spectres as a potential risk, because they are not constrained by the law like
everyone else are, whilst others are in awe of them.
 
Candidates for the Spectres typically have years of military, law enforcement
or rescue experience before even being considered. The screening process
involves background checks, psychological evaluations, and a long period of
field training under an experienced mentor. Because of the rigorous selection
process, Spectres might sometimes use unorthodox methods but they rarely go
rogue. When it does happen, the only solution is to revoke their status then
send another Spectre after them. No one else would be up to the job.
 
Spectres are stripped of their status once they are declared legally deceased.
They can only be reinstated once proof of living (e.g. appearing in person and
passing a D.N.A check) is presented.
 
Nate was was glad that Spectres wear armour to hide their identity, as he might
have problems with C-Sec, with them and the Spectres often at odds. Many C-Sec
members, believe that allowing Spectres to be ‘above the law’ is a dangerous
practice, as there is nothing to control them, and make them accountable for
their actions. In turn, most Spectres are aggravated when C-Sec's dedication to
procedure and due process hampers their investigations.
 
His thoughts were interrupted when a voice coming from the bathroom door said,
“Are you alright dear?”
 
As he looked round, Nathan saw his twenty-two year old wife. He had to smile,
as he wondered how lucky he was to be married to her. Nora was as stunning when
they first met, her shoulder length light brown hair, blue eyes that shine even
in the dark, fair skin, and a soft smile to compliment it all.
 
“I'm fine love,” Nate said with a warm smile, “I was thinking about the past,
and how things changed for me in the last three years since I left the Army.
I'm still amazed how I found and married you, and we had Shaun.”
 
Nora smiled at her husband, whilst it has been rough for them for one reason or
another, she did love Nate. Thanks to him, she had her son, and it was all
because of that fateful meeting about two years ago, “I know what you mean
Nate, and I sometimes wonder what our life would be like if we didn't meet that
day. Do you remember dear?”
 
“How could I forget,” Nate smiled, “It was the day that we both became
Spectres.”
 
It was true, it was a day he could not forget, he learnt that most of the
Spectres, like him, we're an L'Cie, someone who had supernatural powers.
 
L'Cies appeared around the 2020's and no one knew why or how they gained these
powers. They were easy to recognize, as they had a birthmark somewhere on their
body; each one was different to the child, but one thing was for sure, in the
middle of the birthmark was a closed eye. The eye would only open when the
person was using their power. Nate’s mark was on his left shoulder, and it took
the form of a cog.
 
No one knew the true potential of an L'Cie, as every so often, an L'Cie would
be born with an unknown power. What they knew is that not only does an L'Cie
have supernatural like powers, but they also have super human bodies, making it
so they were stronger, faster, and more agile.
 
Some of the basic supernatural abilities that each L'Cie had are the following:
summon, banish, levitate, and creating a barrier. They might not sound
impressive, but in a fight, they were the most useful skills that an L'Cie
would have. These weren’t the only skills they had, there were some who had
other abilities that other L'Cies don't have. Some had elemental powers, or
some other unique power that only a rare few might have, like being able to
buff up them and their allies skills and physical abilities, or like Nate have
a better understanding of machines and able to improve or control them. Nora on
the other hand, was only a basic L'Cie.
 
Anyway, back to when Nate meet Nora, Nathan was shocked to learn that not only
was she a L’Cie like him, but she was a law student. He had to wonder why a
lawyer would be here. It was explained the Commonwealth Council wanted more
diplomacy, and so they wanted Spectres who could become diplomats, thus the
reason for Nora and two more lawyers being there. It didn't mean that Nora and
the other lawyers weren’t trained to fight should diplomacy fail, they were
fully capable of defending themselves.
 
As for training to become a Spectre, he was shocked to find out how they do it.
Sure Nate suspected it would take years to train, and it did, but whilst it was
two years of training for him and the other candidates, to the outside world,
it was a day. You see Spectres were trained in a time dilation warehouse, where
two years passed for them, but only one day passed outside, and whilst they
were in the warehouse they only aged a day. While useful, it just proved more
to Nate that the Commonwealth Council has been holding things out on the
public. He often wondered why they kept so much secret, the only thought was
that the Council don't think they are ready for it; seeing how humanity misuses
things, he could understand their fears.
 
Either way, during his time in the time dilation warehouse, he and Nora slowly
on a show for their friends and family, seeing that it would be strange if they
knew each other when they were strangers only yesterday.
 
And so time, passed and life become good for the couple, Nora finished Law
School and Nate was doing well at C-Sec. Over the next two years, Nate and Nora
had only been on a handful of Spectre’s missions for the Commonwealth Council,
mainly to stop a few threats who got their hands on technology they shouldn’t
have, technology that the public shouldn’t learn about.
 
A year after leaving the warehouse they got married and moved to the friendly
town of Concord, about a mile away from the suburb Sanctuary Hills which was
located on a small island, only accessible by two ways; a small footbridge
behind where Nate and his wife lived, and a larger bridge which crosses the
nearby river and leads, via road, to Concord. It was built in 2070, made up of
thirty-five cottages and bungalows, branded as Homes of Tomorrow. There was a
small cave on the island where kids go to play. The population of this suburb
was about one hundred and fifty.
 
Nora smiled at her husband, knowing he was right. “How goes the speech for the
Veteran's Hall?”
 
“Got the start of it, but the next part won't come to me.” Nathan admitted with
a sigh, “I'm taking a break, and going back to it later.”
“Whatever you write I know you're gonna knock 'em dead at the Veteran's Hall,
hon." Nora tried to reassure her husband, “So do you want to eat?”
 
“I wouldn't mind one of your omelets,” Nate told his wife, “and if you could,
can you ask Codsworth to make me a coffee? I'll be out in a moment.”
 
“Sure hon.” Nora replied before she left, allowing her husband to finish
cleaning himself up.
 
A few minutes later, Nathan left the bathroom and strolled from the hallway,
into the kitchen trying to pop his neck.
 
He and Nora lived in a neighborhood with the Homes of Tomorrow. Each home in
the neighborhood was different, theirs was a gorgeous small cottage, two
bedroom one bathroom home with walls shifting from baby blues, to tans, to
whites in an inviting way. The kitchen is part of the living room only divided
by a small island counter. The dining room is directly next to the refrigerator
with no walls allowing the family to hold a conversation from anywhere in these
three areas. The soft rubbery black tiles on the floor would massage his feet
with each step were he not wearing loafers. Carpets were fitted neatly in the
living room and dining room beneath the furniture. Like all the homes in the
neighborhood, the home was controlled by a hub in the hallway, it controlled
the lighting, heating and the secretary of the house.
 
As Nate entered the kitchen, he was greeted by a floating chrome plated robot
in the shape of a sphere, speaking in a generic British butler voice. It has
three retractable eyes and three retractable arms with prongs at the end to
match. Nate had named this Mister Handy robot Codsworth, who was holding his
morning coffee as usual, and as it handed the drink to its Master, Codsworth
said, "Ah! Good afternoon sir! Your Coffee!"
 
"You brew it right this time?" Nate joked.
 
"173.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Brewed to perfection!" Codsworth remarked overjoyed.
 
"Perfect as always." Nate graciously blows on the brew "Thanks Codsworth."
 
"Of course, Sir! Today's newspaper." Codsworth picks up the paper near the
fridge presenting it to his Master.
 
"I'll take that." Nora says as she sneaks her way in the kitchen from the
laundry room.
 
Nate began sipping his coffee as he picked up a copy of Grognak the Barbarian
from the island counter. "Grognak The Barbarian: Jungle of the Bat Babies,
huh?" Nora commented as she noticed what her husband was reading.
 
"Hey, it's still my favorite." Nate said with a smile.
 
"Our favorite, you mean," Nora corrected him, "I told you it was good."
 
Before he could open it, their son Shaun starts crying letting everybody know
he's awake. "Ah, sounds like someone made a stinky! I shall attend to young
Shaun." Codsworth joked while he flew to Shaun's room.
 
Nora began laughing, "I was nervous at first, but Codsworth's really good with
Shaun."
 
Nate smiled as he walked over to the living room and lounges on the couch,
turning his focus to the TV which is playing the weather channel. Remarks about
the odd recent high late October temperatures, as well as comments on Halloween
happening in eight days.
 
Than as he turned over the channel to see what was on, he saw the trailer for
the new movie, ‘Grognak The Barbarian: The Movie,’ was coming out within the
next few weeks. Then there was an advert for implants, the adverts stated that
they were being used for years in the Resource Wars to help in the fight
against China and their allies. But now, the public was now allowed to use
someof the same implants that the Army uses, to help them in their daily life.
 
Nathan and Nora were no strangers to implants, in fact both of them got some
within them, Nate got some of his during the war, Nora during her training to
become a Spectre. Nate got his as to use one of the Power Armour’s, each
soldier needed to have a dataport implant in the back of their heads, which was
located at the base of their neck. The dataport implant not only allow them
control the Power Armour that the user was using, but they could input info
into their brains.
 
But that’s the only implant he got from the Army, the rest he got when he and
Nora become Spectres, and learned about the threats that were hidden to the
world. Whilst Nora got her dataport implant when she became a Spectre, they
also gained a few other implants that contained tiny machine known as Nanites,
that go through a person’s body to help a person to become stronger, move
faster and heal faster, among many other things.
 
The main implant that all Spectres would have was the Cellular Memory Recall
Implant, which they would be installed into the brain, and then they would have
the Nanites alter the person's eyes. They altered them so that whatever they
saw would be recorded, and would be stored on the implant for a week before it
is recorded over. To keep the recordings, they have to either download the
recording onto their own secure computers, or write reports to the Council.
 
The implant and the Nanites would allow the person to have their own personal
Heads-Up Display. The HUD would keep track of the person's life readings, and
among other things, it could scan the area and scan for a person, it could also
detect biorhythms, heat, and lastly, it had telescopic vision so it could see
afar. Nathan had to admit that Cellular Memory Recall Implants were one of Big
MT’s best inventions.
 
But as Nate watched the advert, he began to wonder something, why was the
Commonwealth Council allowing this new technology out into the public. If his
suspicions about the Council was right, for as long as the Council had existed,
they were keeping things out of the public that they thought the public wasn’t
ready for. However, over the last few years, more and more technology was
coming out, like better computers, TVs and such, so why now? It was like they
were trying to keep the public busy, and not have them questioning stuff that
they shouldn’t be. The question was, what?
 
Nate sighed, not knowing what to think, he could be going crazy, making things
up where there wasn’t anything going on. It could be that with the war going
on, the Commonwealth Council could be just trying to help the people, so that
their lives were better. He did like the Omni-tool that he got from the Army,
which was now available to the public. An omni-tool can be used to analyze and
adjust the functionality of most standard equipment, including weapons and
armor, from a distance.
 
The Omni-tool breaks down common everyday items into what they call Omni-gel,
where it can rapidly assemble small three-dimensional objects from common,
reusable industrial plastics, ceramics, and light alloys. This allowed him do
field repairs and modifications to most standard items, as well as the reuse of
salvaged equipment.
 
Nate’s thoughts were interrupted as he looked outside his window and saw a
light blue Vault-Tec van, parked in front of their home. The man in the driving
seat wore a blue suit, whilst the person who came out the passenger seat, was a
man in a bright yellow trench coat and matching fedora, underneath the trench
coat he had a white shirt and a red tie.
 
Nate sighed at this, and mumbles to himself about the man coming back "That
salesman again?" Nora asked in concern.
 
The doorbell rings, Nate crosses his arms and continues to watch the TV. Nora
gracefully walks over and opens the door. "Good morning! Vault-Tec calling!"
The Salesman says, tipping his hat to Nora with a voice that's obviously false
kindness.
 
"Vault-Tec? What's that now?" Nora questions pretending to be intrigued.
 
"Why, we're about you ma'am! And about helping you to secure your future! You
see, Vault-Tec is the foremost builder of state-of-the-art underground fallout
shelters. Vaults, if you will. Luxury accommodations, where you can wait out
the horrors of nuclear devastation."
 
"No offense... but no soliciting" Nora cocks her head to the side with a
straight face.
 
The Vault-Tech Rep gives a big smile back before continuing. "Oh, no worries
ma'am. No worries at all! I'm not selling anything, not today. You can't begin
to know how happy I am to finally speak with you. I've been trying for days.
It's a matter of utmost urgency I assure you."
 
"What's so important?" Nora asks in a monotone voice.
 
While frantically moving his arms the Salesman replies "Why nothing less than
your entire future! If you haven't noticed ma'am this country has gone to heck
in a handbasket!" The Vault-Tech Rep regains his composure and grabs his clip
board tightly "If you'll excuse my language, the big kaboom is... It's
inevitable, I'm afraid. And coming sooner than you may think. If you catch my
meaning."
 
Nate gets aggravated at this, wanting to put an end to it, he gets up and walks
up to the door startling the Rep. The salesman reaches his left hand out in
defense and nervously says "I know you're a busy man, so I won't take up much
of your time. Time being um, precious commodity. I'm here today to tell you
that because of your family's service to our country, you have been preselected
for entrance into the local Vault. Vault 111." He says waving his hands around
while saying the vault's number.
 
Nate and Nora both knew about Vault 111, how could they not, they had deals for
those who were already pre-selected for entrance into the Vault. It was behind
their homes, up a hill.
 
"I have a family, there's room for my entire family right?" Nate asked annoyed,
hoping he would say no so that he could get rid of the man with ease.
 
"Of course of course! Minus your robot naturally. It has all the amenities of
the modern home, I assure you.” The Vault-Tec Rep told Nathan, turning Nate’s
plan against him, “Not to mention total protection from nuclear radiation and
hostile mutants. A better future, underground. It's not only our mission, it's
our passion. In fact you're already cleared for entrance. It's just a matter of
verifying some information. Don't want there to be any hold up in the Uh.." The
rep squeamishly laughs and clears his throat "...total atomic annihilation.
Won't take but a moment.”
 
"And there's the catch! Come back some other time." Nate says as he begins to
close the door.
 
"Come on hon, it's just a little paperwork,” Nora said suddenly, “let him fill
it out and it's done.”
 
"I said no!" Nate rebutted, not wanting to give the Rep the time of day.
 
"And I'm saying yes," Nora told her husband, “as seeing that if you did, he
won’t have to return.”
 
Nate sighed, knowing his wife was right about this, and so with another sigh he
said defeatedly, “Fine, fine, I’ll do it.”
 
"Splendid, splendid let's get to it." The Vault-Tec Rep says with great relief,
then with a smile, he said, “Now it says in our records, you are an L'Cie, is
this right?”
 
“Yes it is.” Nate replied to the Salesman, as the Rep wrote a few things down
on his note board.
 
“Are your wife and son L'Cies?” asked the Rep.
 
“They are.” Nathan replied, as the Salesman wrote more things on his note
board, before going on to ask Nate a few more questions, some personal, some
about his job history and some about his family.
 
Than as they finished, the Rep passed Nate a pen and the clipboard, and said,
“Please check this and sign and date it if everything is correct.”
 
Nate checks the information before signing and dating it, before giving the
clipboard back to the Rep. He begins checking it over. "Ah, wonderful that… is…
everything… I just gonna walk this over to the Vault. Congratulations on being
prepared for the fu-" Nate slams the door before he can finish.
 
"Hey it's peace of mind, that's worth a little paperwork right?" Nora comments
trying to relax Nate.
 
He sighs and cracks a smile, knowing what to say, "For you and Shaun no price
is too high."
 
Nora laughs, "Good answer."
 
"I have my moments." Nate laughed back at his wife.
 
“Well seeing that Codsworth is looking after Shaun, how about you show me those
moments.” Nora said slyly, as she walked to their bedroom.
 
Nate just smiled and followed his wife and showed her the moments she wanted.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
23rd of October 2077:
 
It has been a week since the Vault-Tec Rep visited the Archer’s, and Nate and
Nora were acting as normal. So far nothing interesting happened over the week;
it was a slow week, Nate was working on his speech for the Veteran's Hall, and
Nora was working on their Halloween costumes for that year. She was somewhat
exeted at the idea, as it would be Shaun’s first Halloween. She knew that Shaun
wouldn’t remember it, but as a mother she couldn’t help herself.
 
The only point of interest was that the neighborhood got a letter from Vault-
Tec, saying that they’ll be running a training exercise in the morning. The
letter said that there would be a few of these exercises running all over the
country, and that a few people who were selected for the Vaults, would be
selected so that the Vault-Tec people could be ready for the real thing.
 
At the moment Nathan and Nora was sitting down watching the TV, whilst
Codsworth was looking in on Shaun who not long after started to cry. For a few
moments Shaun stopped crying, but then the young baby started to cry again, and
so Codsworth slowly comes out of the bedroom. Looking sad as a robot can, he
says sadly, "Mister Nate, Shaun has been changed, but he absolutely refuses to
calm down. I think he needs some of that 'paternal affection' you seem to be so
good at."
 
Nora chuckles at Codsworth while saying to her husband, "Go ahead, hon. I'll be
there in a second to help, okay?"
 
Nate walks to Shaun's room to end the baby's seemingly endless crying. He leans
over the crib and starts to rub Shaun's belly "What's wrong baby? Is Codsworth
not good enough for you? You just want your dad don't you?"
 
"My boy isn't giving his father any trouble is he?" Nora asks whilst leaning in
the doorway.  "Hey I just fixed that mobile in his crib the other day. Why
don't you give it a spin?" Nate smiles at Nora and spins the rockets over
Shaun's crib. His cries turns to laughter as he is enchanted by the mobile.
 
"That's my boy on his best behavior, just like his dad. Well, most of the time,
anyway..." Nora says to Shaun walking toward the crib.
 
"How's my little guy? Much better now, huh?" Nate asks before kissing Shaun's
forehead.
 
"Listen after breakfast, I was thinking we could head to the park for a bit.
Weather should hold up." Nora suggests.
 
"Will it be anything like the night in the park we had a year ago?" Nate
recommends with a smirk, last time their actions resulted in Shaun being born,
and he wouldn’t mind another child.
 
Before Nora could make a remark on this, Codsworth's begins yelling from the
living room. "Sir? Mum? You should come and see this!"
 
"Codsworth? What's wrong?" Nora asks worried as she and Nate hurried to the
living room. As they scampered into the living room, a live broadcast was
playing on the TV. “Followed by… yes, followed by flashes. Blinding flashes.
Sounds of explosions… we're… we're trying to get confirmation…”
 
“What, what is he saying?” Nora asked in worry as she enters the room with
Shaun in her arms, as she heard this.
 
“But we seem to have lost contact with our affiliate stations... We do have...
coming in... confirmed reports. I repeat, confirmed reports of nuclear
detonations in New York and Pennsylvania. My God.” Just then the TV shuts down
and the TV went onto please-stand-by mode.
 
"Oh my god!" Nora says covering her mouth as tears cloud her eyes.
 
"Mum… the news…” Codsworth chokes out as if he were going to cry.
 
"We need to get to the Vault, now! Let's go!" Nate shouts rushing Nora as he's
running out the door.
 
When they get outside sirens were blaring, Vertibirds flying overhead, and
military vehicles were lining up against the bridge and around the cul-de-sac.
Soldiers are in the streets directing people to the trail in the woods leading
to a large elevation overseeing Sanctuary Hills. Over the commotion of the
yelling, screaming, and crying neighbors, a soldier on the loudspeaker inside a
Vertibird is shouting for the residents of Sanctuary Hills to evacuate to Vault
111 if they are registered. A couple talks about driving away, while another is
yelling at her husband to leave their bags, a few were yelling about going to
hide at the cave that was near by them. Nate pulls at Nora's hand so she stays
close by while he's trying to keep Shaun relaxed through talking to him gently.
A soldier is directing people when they get over the small bridge telling
everybody that if they're in the program they'll get inside after checking in
at the gate.
 
When they get to the gate in the middle of the hill a billboard is displayed to
the right with a Vault Boy overseeing a large crowd of people eagerly waiting
to get through the Vault Doors with the words ‘Prepare for the future!’ in bold
letters. The sign eerily mimics all the neighbors trying to get to the officer
that is checking names on a list to let people in the vault.
 
As they got to the gates, they saw two huge Power Armours, but not standard
ones, they were the anti-tank and air Power Armours. They were standing twelve
feet tall, they had two high-caliber three-barreled rotary guns mounted on its
forearms, and two rocket launchers mounted in the unit's shoulders. Behind the
gates, were four standard Power Armours, keeping an eye out for threats.
 
At the gates the Vault-Tec Rep from the week before was protesting beside the
crowd who are in despair over their names not being on the list.
 
"That's absurd. I am Vault-Tec!" He complains.
 
"If you’re not on the list, you don't get in!" The officer angrily replies in a
gruff voice.
 
"I'm going in. You can't stop me." The Vault-Tec Rep told them, and a few
people agreed with them, but a soldier in power armor begins to wind up their
mini gun, this stopped most of them.
 
"Whooooa! Okay!" The Vault-Tec Rep runs away while shouting about reporting the
officer, as a few others followed them. Nate is the first to run up to the
officer while everybody panics about not being in the program.
 
"We need to get in. We're on the list." He calmly says.
 
"Names?" The officer replies quickly
 
“The Archers, Nathan, Nora, and Shaun.”
 
“Hmm, let me see,” the officer hummed at he checked his check board, before
seeing the names, “ah yes the Archers, one infant… an adult male and an adult
Female… oK, quickly go ahead."
 
The soldier backs up and allowed the family to enter, and the Archers thanking
the officer with relief. A Vault-Tec Security man shouts to them "You two
follow me! Come on!"
 
Nora stops and mournfully questions "What's going to happen to all those people
outside the gate?"
 
“We're doing everything we can, now keep moving!" The three start moving
further up the hill. Another Security member that is directing them yells about
getting onto the platform which will send them down into the vault. They do as
he says and wait with the small group of six neighbors, made up of two to four
people, who got through the program. "All right, that's it send it down!" An
officer shouts.
 
"Almost there, is Shaun okay?" Nate yells to Nora.
 
Nora wraps his arm around him bringing Shaun closer to her face. "He's fine.
We're gonna be okay. I love you, both of you." She says reassuring her husband.
 
"We love you too." Nate replies. And just then a loud and blinding bang goes
off in the distance. Everybody screams in overwhelming fear as people drop to
their knees or fall backwards. A mushroom cloud forms from the explosion and an
enormous gust of brown smoke hurdles at them. The citizens try to stand and see
the cloud.
 
"NOW! NOW! SEND IT DOWN NOW!" The officer shouts horrified as a security member
smashes the button.
 
"Hold on!" Nate shouts holding Nora tighter.
 
"Can't this thing move faster!?" A man named Mr. Whitfield yells.
 
The forces from the nuclear detonation ride fast on the wind to them. Just as
the platform is out of the reach for the wave, it hits in an ear splitting
noise with heavy force shaking some people off their feet as the platform is
hastily lowered. The cloud of smoke that was coming after them is all that is
seen when looking up, until eventually everything goes dark.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
After a quick while, Nate opens his eyes to see the lights emitting from the
Vault glow brighter. "Honey! We did it. We made it. We're okay..." Nate
reassures Nora as he helps her up.
 
"Everyone please step off the elevator and proceed up the stairs in an orderly
fashion." Vault-Tec Security member told them.
 
"No need to worry folks, we'll get everyone situated in your new home. Vault
111! A better future. Underground!" From the looks of him, he was one of the
Overseer’s seen on the TV and was there to calm the people down the best they
could. He went on speaking, while the crowd is in awe at the thought of
surviving the nuke, commenting on it as they walk in. The Overseer reassures
everybody that they no longer need to think about the outside world, saying
they're safe now. "Everyone just head up the stairs and through the door there,
everything will be explained shortly."
 
A computer is playing a message on repeat telling the new residents to enter in
an orderly fashion as they proceed through the opened Vault door. A man who is
Vault-Tec staff wearing a 111 Vault Suit is saying everybody's gender and
writing it down as they walk past. Most likely for headcount later.
 
"Take a suit from over there." A male Vault-Tec Staff Member told them as he
directed them to another woman in a vault suit.
 
"You'll need your suit before we take you any further." She explained with a
warming smile.
 
"Thanks. What now?" Nora questions as she took the Vault Suit, followed by
Nate.
 
"Just follow the doctor, here," The Vault-Tec Member told her as she points to
a man in a lab coat with a Pip-Boy on his arm. "He'll show you where to go."
 
"Alright everyone, follow me." The doctor says beckoning the group to him.
 
"See buddy this is our new home" Nate says talking to Shaun.
 
"Oh you're gonna love it here. This is one of our most advanced facilities. Not
that the others aren't great mind you..." The doctor says giving the people a
run down. He walks down the corridor leading everybody. The Corridor has a
window to the right showing what looks to be a reactor of some sort, and saw
some medical pods that he recognized from during his time in the war. As they
passed them, Nate stopped and asked,  “Are there people in the pods?”
 
“Hmm, yes, they are from earlier,” the doctor replied nervously, “they are
being checked out like you are going to. You would stay in there for an hour or
so, whilst we do our scans to make sure you are fine before you go into the
lower floors.”
 
“Understandable,” Nate admitted, as he thought about it, then suddenly he
thought of something, “there’s something we didn’t put in your records, that
you’ll find in the medical scans.”
 
“Oh what is that and why didn’t you put them in your records?” The Vault-Tec
Doctor asked.
 
“It was confidential, and until now we couldn’t tell anyone, but seeing that
things change, and you’re going to find out through the scans anyway, I can
tell you.” Nate explained to the Doctor, “You see my wife and I are Spectres,
and we have a few implants.”
 
“You’re-you’re Spectres?” The doctor asked, his voice trembling.
 
“Yes we are, so if there’s anything you need whilst we’re down here, please let
us know.” Nora told the Vault-Tec Member, fully understanding his fear about
them being Spectres.
 
And with that, they started to go down the corridor again, on the left hand
side they saw a bathroom sign, opposite that was a set of stairs going down,
what they suspect was where they were going to stay from now on. At the very
end of the corridor are even more pods.  
 
Seeing the other survivors made Nora uneasy as her eyes dart around, and asked
him in a frightened voice, "How long do you think we'll be down here?"
 
“Unless we get the All-Clear Signal, or something happens, it is our hope not
to be here no longer than a year or two, depending if it is safe to leave or
not.” The doctor reassures her about the orientation, before directing them
into the bathrooms telling everybody to change to their new clothes. He
pressures people to take their time while he and the other doctor get
everything ready for them.
 
Nate is given Shaun to look after for a short while and everybody walks into
their respective gender's bathrooms as the doctors dealt with the medical pods.
Nate goes into a stall to change and places Shaun on a fold out changing
station. He takes all of his clothes off as do the other survivors. He
struggles to get the suit on from how skin tight it is. The suit's elasticity
seems nearly impossible to rip and after much struggle, Nate gets it fully on
enough to zip it up. He picks up Shaun and heads out of the bathroom.
 
Nora is still staring in the mirror trying to compose herself from all that's
happened. Her husband, Nathan, had been through the U.S. Army since the
American-Sino war began. Although maybe not prepared for a nuclear bomb, he was
much more prepared than she was. Even being a Spectre, the only experience in
the job field is as a Law School graduate after all. And with the Spectre
missions, it wasn’t in the battle field and so didn’t prepare her for all this.
 
With the new life coming to her, all that they've done previously would not
matter anymore and she knew this. Nora splashed water on her face, and took
deep breaths before emerging from the bathroom. Some people had already gone
toward the medical pods. Nate was waiting for Nora with Shaun cradled in his
arms. The baby smiled as he saw his mother and Nora smiled back.
 
"Hey buddy you doing okay?" She asked leaning toward him. The baby giggled and
touched her nose.
 
"I'm shocked he hasn't been crying this whole time." Nate said confused.
 
"You don't think that bomb made him deaf do you?!" Nora cried out.
 
"No need to worry, we have the science for that as well here in the Vault." The
doctor said putting his hand on Nora's shoulder smiling. "Now come. There's
much to do." Nate and Nora walked with the Doctor to the back of the Vault.
 
"Just a few medical items we have to get through, and then you may enter the
rest of the the Vault." Said another Vault-Tec Doctor, who was again checking
genders as people went in, which Nora found a bit odd. But put it down to
protocol that Vault-Tec had.
 
People were already at the pods, and were talking about how their suits looked
and felt, while the staff members told them how the suit was designed. One of
the doctor’s walked Nora and Nate to the back. "Just take a seat in the Medical
Pod and I'll be back shortly to start the tests." the Doctor told the man and
wife.
 
Shaun finally starts crying. "Hey honey could you help me? Shaun's acting up."
Nate pleads. Nora goes over to Shaun to comfort him and took him from her
husband’s arms, as she give Nate a kiss. In doing so, Shaun stopped crying.
 
Nate laughed at this, and said with a smile, “Looks like the little guy wanted
his mother.”
 
“True,” Nora said with a smile, “they do say children need their mothers in
troubling times, and this is as troubling you can get.”
 
“Very true,” Nate said with a sigh, “why don’t you take Shaun with you.”
 
“Sure.” Said Nora as she give her husband another kiss as she entered her pod.
But as she did, Shaun begun to cry again, and hold his arms out for his father.
 
"I'm not going far son, I’ll just be right over there." Nate said with a sad
smile, as he pointed to his pod.
 
"It'll be okay. Mommy's got you" Nora told her son as Nate entered his pod, and
sat down as he give a wave to his son, as Nora sat down in her pod. It's
surprisingly comfortable and Nora feels completely relaxed, in fact the way the
seats were formed, she could easily fall asleep in them thanks to enough room
in the pod.
 
After a few minutes, the doctor returned to them, and as he begun to type on
the medical pod keyboard, addressing everybody, “Just relax now, the pod will
decontaminate and depressurize you, before it starts running a medical scan. It
shouldn’t take more than an hour, in which time as long as nothing is found,
we’ll head deeper in the vault.
 
Nate sighs as he mumbles to himself, "Time for a whole new life."
 
From across the room he can see Nora looking at Shaun, whispering to comfort
him. When she looks up she puts his hand on the glass and Nate does the same.
 
A female computer voice comes on again. Nate looks around the pod waiting for
something to happen. "Resident secure" the voice announced, "Occupant vitals
normal."
 
Nate starts breathing heavily as he feels an overwhelming breeze surge through
his body. His breathing slows down after a while and the computer begins a
countdown from five. Nate could help but go to sleep as his heart rate slows
progressively. The last thing that he saw before falling to sleep was the glass
frosting.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Unknown Date:
 
After what feels like an instant, Nate awoke suddenly, after a few seconds, he
began to move as he heard the computer's voice announce, "Manual override
initiated cryogenic status suspended."
 
‘Cryogenic?’ Nate thought to himself, as he realized what happened, for some
reason the Vault-Tec members put them in state of suspended animation. ‘Did
something happened to us?’
 
He was still freezing cold, as his vision slowly returns to him, yet he was too
weak to move fully. The first thing that he saw was a mysterious male figure,
he was a battle worn man, late into his thirties but looking closer to his
early fifties due to all the weariness and fatigue from so much battle and
death. He was balding, but yet still had hair on the back and sides of his head
connecting to his rugged beard. He had a long scar going down left eye.
 
He looked like he was some kind of mercenary, he wore a white shirt underneath
a slightly modified leather jacket, he had a leather strap, which connected to
his strange shoulder armour running down his left side. He also had fingerless
gloves, and he had three pouches attached to the back of his belt. He was with
two people in a medical hazmat suit with tinted goggles; from what Nate could
tell, both were female.
As they came into Nate’s view, the one of the females in the hazmat suit looked
at Nora’s Pod, and checked inside, and said, “Yes, this is the one we need.”
 
“Open it then,” said the mercenary, “I want to be out of here as soon as
possible.”
 
Working on the control panel, the first female opened Nora’s Pod. Nora at the
time was confused at what was going on, why was she so cold, so weak, what was
going on. Coughing, she asks, "Is it over? Are we okay?"
 
"Almost. Everything's going to be fine." the second female told Nora.
 
“Come here… come here, baby…” said the first female, as she tried to remove
Shaun from his mother’s arm. And as she did this, Nora fought against the
person who was trying to take her baby who begun to cry.
 
“No, wait. No, I’ve got him.” Nora told them.
 
"Let the boy go." the mercenary told Nora as he pulled what looked like a .44
magnum revolver from the side of his right leg, "I'm only gonna tell you once!"
 
“No, I’m not going to give you Shaun!” Nora said fearfully, and upon seeing
this, Nate started to slam onto the pod’s glass, trying to break free. But he
was too weak at the moment, and so he wasn’t at his full strength and so able
to break open the pod.
 
The mercenary looked like he was going to shot Nora, but an invisible force
pushed him away, and the first female hissed, “Kellogg, don’t be a fool. We
were told that whilst we need the kid, we need to keep the Archers alive.” As
she was saying this, the other female was injecting Nora with a sedative, that
knocked her out.
 
At this she took Shaun from Nora, and with that they heard the glass cracking
from another Pod, looking round they saw Nate’s was breaking the glass of his
pod..
 
“Reactivate the pods!” The second female called out in fear.
 
At this Nate heard the computer's voice announce. "Cryogenic sequence
reinitialized." Then all of a sudden the freezing sensation returned, forcing
Nate to go back to sleep. Never knowing that the next time he awake, everything
he knew would be different.

25th of November 1969 - Unknown Location:
 
It has been twenty-four years since World War 2 had ended, and the world for
many has changed. The war ended for the axis powers in the year 1945 with
bitter defeat: for on the European continent, the end started in May, when
Germany surrendered to the Allied Powers. After their leader Adolf Hitler
disappeared mysteriously. In the disorder that followed as Germany tried to
find their leader and with the infighting and jockeying for positions in the
top leadership and government, the Allied Powers decided to take on the German
Army with an all out assault with the help of their ally’s. To save themselves,
and what was left of their country, the German Army decided to save the lives
of their soldiers and civilians and surrendered.
 
In August of that year, on the Asian continents and the Pacific area of the
world. It was decided after a few months of testing, America would deploy their
secret weapon, the atomic bomb to hopefully end the war. The United States
dropped two separate bombs from long range bombers in a daring raid onto two
Japanese cities, a bomb called Little Boy was dropped on a small island city
called Hiroshima, and a few days later a bomb called Fat Man was dropped on the
city of Nagasaki. Because of this, about a month later after several high level
talks within their Government, Japan officially surrendered to the Allied
Powers, and World War II finally came to an end. The allied powers had won.
 
Because of the outcome of the war was finalized with massive loss of life using
the atomic bomb, the world looked with fear toward America, thinking that
retribution would follow due to their actions during the war. As months
followed and nothing happened to the U.S., The governments of the world decided
to invest its technological efforts into funding advances into supercomputers
and further harnessing the power of the atom. They invented compact nuclear
fusion powered generators solving one of the world’s energy needs. Other
projects followed including miniaturized electronics, but not with the funding
that had been initially focused on atomic energy.
 
In 1949, the Civil War in China that was ongoing for years, suddenly ended with
Mao Zedong and his communist revolutionaries victorious. On October 1st, the
People's Republic of China was established as a country. All remaining
supporters of the Republic of China fled to the island of Formosa. The US
didn’t learn much as information was limited as the relations were strained
between China and Japan due to centuries of conflict and diplomatic incidents.
 
In the beginning of the year 1969, the United States President decided to
divide the fifty states into thirteen smaller states now known as The
Commonwealth. It was thought that with thirteen larger states instead of fifty
smaller states, the country would help create legislation broad enough to
benefit those states with common regional concerns, but narrow enough not to
affect those states with dissimilar interests or political cultures which
included religions, which would help the nation better meet the challenges
posed by the Communist threat to American democracy.
 
The Commonwealth was put together and were know known as the following:
Columbia Commonwealth, East Central Commonwealth, Eastern Commonwealth, Four
States Commonwealth, Gulf Commonwealth, Great Midwest Commonwealth, New England
Commonwealth, Northern Commonwealth, Northwest Commonwealth, Plains
Commonwealth, Southeast Commonwealth, Southwest Commonwealth, and the Texas
Commonwealth. Together they were the new thirteen states of America. Many
people were happy with change, but several had doubts of it lasting. It turns
out, that there fears were unfounded. (A/N see at the start to see which
regions goes with each Commonwealth, as I tried to put it in here, but looked
awful, so after talking about it with a friend, I decided to put it at the
start as a beginning A/N.)
 
The new flag for America only had thirteen stars, instead of fifty allowing for
each of the new states its own flag. Each state's flag was modified to show its
status in the commonwealth while still showing the proud imagery that allowed
each person to recognize their states flag. The state lines were still quite
relevant to the state’s, but at the same time were redrawn to show the new
states maps. To make sure that each of the thirteen commonwealths where not
under represented, it was decided to create a commonwealth council that would
each handle the duties of the commonwealth's without the necessary redrawing of
state laws. Each council would handle their own states issues including making
sure that the other state’s would not screw them over with trading and tourism.
But at that moment in time, they could not decide who their representatives for
each state would be. This caused several issues that would later be resolved.
 
Not only was The Commonwealth created without any major issues, but in July
there was a great technological leap forward for the people of the world. As
history was made when the Virgo II mission landed full team of American
astronauts on the Moon. Making the following astronauts: Captain Richard Wade,
Captain Mark Garris, and Captain Michael Hagen, the first humans to walk on a
celestial body other than Earth, also becoming national heroes for beating the
Russian team that we're also planning this trip by months. It allowed great
political gain to America and placed them firmly into the history books.
Following that mission, another mission was formed months later, and after a
successful launch the Virgo III landed on moon, allowing those from the Virgo
II to return home without incident, and allowing the United States to continue
their research allowing great technological progress.
 
However, following the war that was meant to end all wars, many families of the
world were slowly trying to forget the war. Some were from families who had
siblings, fathers and other family members lost during the war, which was
understandable, but most families found it an honour and didn’t want to forget.
As it meant dishonouring their families who died so that they wouldn’t. A few
others interested in revising history, slowly lost interest in bringing back
bad war memories. They did not want to be reminded of what they had lost and
hoped that it would not be brought up in conversation. But they knew it would
always be there in the history books, but hoped that as time passed people
would forget about the war or at the very least don’t bring it up so much.
 
However, there were a few people who didn’t want to forget about the war, as
they were terrified of the outcome, and feared that they might repeat the
actions if they weren't careful.
 
One such person who wanted to make his mark in history, was Joseph Parker. A
white fifty year old American citizen, who used to work as a top secret
scientist/researcher for the Allied Powers. He along with a small group of
people, were meant to research ways to help end the war, be it new weapons,
equipment, technology or tactics. But after the war they were no longer needed
for wartime research and so were let go. While several in his group didn’t care
one way or another about losing their work, as many found new jobs quickly.
They were very happy to forget about what they had done during the war, he
himself was of a vastly different mind on the matter.
 
Yes, he was one of the researcher’s that didn’t mind losing his job, but he
also knew he could get a job anywhere thanks to his much needed specialist
skills even beyond wartime. He wasn’t happy about how the war ended, and this
worried him greatly. Sure the world was at peace, even though diplomatic
relations between China and Japan were strained, that didn’t mean anything in
the general world point of view. In the years following, China and Japan could
build up a force to take revenge on the United States for what they did towards
ending the war, or the United States or one of the other countries that now
have several nukes, could destroy themselves or one of the other countries. The
United States could still destroy themselves, seeing that they were playing
around with nuclear power to better the life of their people. This technology
was still in the infant stages of research and could be quite dangerous.
 
But that’s not all, as one of the top secret scientist/researchers for the
United States, he had gotten his hands on information that normal people
wouldn’t normally see due to his clearance. One such information was about the
threats that no one knew about, which why he wasn’t afraid of losing his job
after the war, as he knew he would be dealing with the Government in the near
future. And the information he had, worked well as blackmail.
 
These threats were of extra-terrestrial life, such as aliens, and internal
Earth politics and policies. Another of threats was those on Earth who were of
magical nature, which was something that he was shocked about when he learnt
that magic was real. He would have thought that magic and aliens were not real,
but now that he has that information, and could very well see the threats from
both sides and the dangers that could follow.
 
For the less threatening on the magical side, it was very likely they would not
be dangerous, as they normally kept to themselves. But the threat was there and
he did not want it to become serious. And so should they be pushed out of there
little community's too much, the threat would rise to the point of threatening
on a global scale. It was in human nature that should you get pushed into a
corner, at some point they would start pushing back out of that corner. The
government knew this and so made sure to hire him to draw up several plans just
in case.
 
No the threat that was more severe to the governments of the world was the idea
of an invasion from extra-terrestrial life. From what he found out from several
high-level government sources, that for as long as the government knew that
there was alien life, there had been abductions of several people that they
couldn’t stop, and didn’t know how or why it happened. Some who were abducted
would return, which was how they got the information about the aliens, but more
often people just disappeared without a trace. And those who did return, had
very little memory about their experience apart from that they were kidnapped.
And because of these attacks, the government decided that he and several others
would be hired to come up with a plan to stop these attacks and if it came to
it, figure out how to attack the aliens.
 
Now for what he was planning though, it was going to be difficult to prove to
the general public, as all the proof was heavily guarded or as with the magical
evidence, hard to find due to the magicals using their abilities to hide the
truth of their existence. He only had to see it once to prove it existed but
the public would need more than one instance of proof to believe. Then he would
be taken away to somewhere more secure and better guarded for his work. Same
with the extraterrestrial proof, the evidence was taken to an area he had no
access to and could not be used after he had seen it. He wished he could have
full access to all the evidence and information, but he could work with what he
had access to, but now that he had seen that both were real he could make plans
toward a better future.
 
So during the last twenty-four years, Joseph found himself working extensively
hard on many projects, so that he could get to access to those areas he did not
have clearance for, and gather the proof he himself needed and the evidence to
support such proof and his theories and plans he would then show to others and
make them understand the threats that could come from inside and out. Thus
getting the world prepared to handle both threats.
 
It was very hard to get the proof he needed out of the areas they were in, but
after getting the clearance he needed and becoming one of the head of
departments for research toward threats foreign or domestic, he was slowly able
to get the necessary equipment and clearances he needed. So here he was,
waiting for the selection of people who he hoped well help him in his plans and
promote a better future.
 
His thoughts were interrupted with a knock at the door of his office, as he
walked toward the door, he saw it was one of the people he was waiting for, and
in fact someone he used to work with, an old friend John Blake. Like Joseph, he
worked with the Government during the war and helped make some of the research
available. After John, several others started to arrive. And within an hour,
everyone that he invited was there clustered together in his office.
 
“Now I know many of you are wondering why I contacted you and set up this
meeting, well it’s about our future, or more precisely, the future of our
descendants and the planet itself.” explained Joseph.
 
“What are you talking about?” asked one of the men in a general's uniform who
was sitting there drinking a cup of coffee to keep awake.
 
“What I am talking about, is that there are several threats to this world that
will affect our descendants and perhaps destroy the world as we know it!”
answered Joseph, and seeing the blank looks from the people there, he went on
to try to explain the seriousness of the problem, “Look at how our government
ended the last war, they used nuclear weapons to blow up two Japanese cities.
While we have been lucky about the consequences of it all, what if Japan
decided to retaliate. With what we did to them, the war could have ended up
differently if they had that technological capability. Like the world ending as
we know it, with Japan and their allies using nuclear bombs to get revenge. And
all that we would know, is that they still could. They very well could be
biding their time, gathering their forces and recourses before they decide to
attack, we have seen this happen time after time in our own history.”
 
There were fearful whispers at the idea, the men in the office where very
uneasy at the idea of this, the very idea that Japan and their allies would
bide their time, just waiting and then taking their revenge on everyone who was
in power at the time. Than Joseph who was gesturing wildly went on to say, even
causing them to all whisper to each other more, “And that’s not the worst of
it, what if our own country blew us up first. The public doesn’t know this yet,
but our government has people researching the possibility of being able to use
atomic power for the everyday life. Having a nuclear generator in every
household. And that’s not the only risk we are facing right now.”
 
This got several conversations going, and while Joseph slowly sat down on his
chair the very image of a man with the world on his shoulders. Many in the room
knew that while it was meant to be the ideal power source, the harnessing of
the atom was also known to be very risky as it was a very new technology. It
might be too high of a risk to take. The main threat was that the nuclear
fallout would be devastating should something go wrong. Suddenly through the
whispered conversations that were in the office, Joseph’s friend John loudly
asked, “What do you mean, why bring this to us. We are powerful men, but we do
not have the ability to change much at this point and time?”
 
“I know you won’t believe me, but there is another threat as well. The
supernatural world and extraterrestrial life are very real.” explained a stoney
faced Joseph, and as expected the men in the room all laughed at this thinking
it was a joke. Apart for one or two, who knew about this information as they
worked closely with Joseph and had access to the same materials he had access
to.
 
Laughing, one of the men responded “Please Joseph, do you really want us to
believe that there’s really supernatural and extraterrestrial life out there?”
Another man asked, “Have you taken a hard knock to your head or are you just
drunk? You sound like Adolf Hitler, who believed in the supernatural so much
that he wasted men, money and resources toward something that was not proven to
be real.” Several of the men got up to leave thinking that the whole thing was
just a big waste of time.
 
“I know it is hard to believe James, in fact I knew most of those here wouldn’t
believe me.” acknowledged Joseph before someone else could, he slowly picked up
a briefcase that he had brought with him. As several members got up to leave,
Joseph waited patiently, these people weren't as important as the others who
were staying in their seats, they were still listening and that would help make
his point even stronger.
 
Once those who really did not want to believe left, Joseph picked up a
briefcase and put it faceup on the table. He went on to say to the remaining
men, “I know that many of you think I'm acting like Adolf Hitler, that I am
crazy like he was. Trust me, when I first learnt all this myself, I too thought
that the person who was showing me all this was mad and/or was having me on.
But he was able to convince me with the following documents,” here one of the
generals called out that documents could be faked, “yes Frank, documents can be
faked and when I read them, I too thought the same. How could anyone in that
position not think that? I mean, really magic and aliens. How can they be real?
It wasn't until I saw physical evidence that I realized that both really
existed. I know what many of you might think, most of the physical evidence of
aliens can be faked too, which is why today I'm going to show you something
that can't be faked. Something that will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
i'm telling you the truth.”
 
As he opened his briefcase, he pulled out two things, a sharp dagger and a
closed glass vial of some kind of purple glowing liquid. Passing the dagger to
James, he asked, “James, if you don't mind, could you make sure that this
dagger is real and not something fake like a plastic replica or a trick blade.”
 
“What are you playing at Joseph?” James asked curiously and a little bit
worried, as he tested the edge of the dagger, even cutting himself with it, to
make sure it really the blade was real, before slowly handing it back to
Joseph.
 
Taking the blade in hand, he didn't say anything for a few moments, psyching
himself up for what he was about to do. He placed his left hand onto the table,
and slowly took a few deep breaths. Then before anyone realized what was
happening, as he lifted the dagger in the air. Then he said as he swung the
dagger down into his hand penetrating his own flesh, “This! Ahhhhh!” Joseph
screamed as the dagger entered the back of his hand. “Fuuuuck, that really
hurt, that hurt far worse than I thought it would,” Joseph said through the
pain, and seeing a few of them getting up to render aid to him, he said gasping
for air, “Please stay seated, stay where you are, I'm fine.”
 
“Don't be a fool Joseph, you're not fine, you just stabbed yourself. Your hand
needs to be looked at by a medic.” someone in the group told him.
 
“Jake, I know that, you just saw me do it to myself. But trust me, it'll be
fine.” Joseph told the man, before he pulled the dagger out of his hand with a
quick yank. As he winched in pain, he showed them the bleeding hole in his
hand. Then with his uninjured hand, he uncorked the glass vial and drank the
purple glowing liquid, gulping it down quickly. Within a few moments, to the
shock of those who were still anxiously there, the hole begun to slowly heal.
 
The man who had been called Jake, was a practicing doctor, and upon seeing this
ran to Joseph and begun a precise medical examination of Joseph’s hand. “How is
this possible, this has to be some sort of trick, this isn’t humanly possible.
Your hand is fully healed, even the tendons look to be healed.”
 
“Ouch, be careful Jake,” Joseph winched in pain as Jake manhandled his hand
roughly, and had to pull it away from him quickly, “it’s still not fully healed
yet, it will take about half an hour to heal back to the point before I stabbed
myself. What I drank was one of many healing potions that the supernatural
world or as the people in this world would call it, the Wizarding World. Where
many use that very potion to heal and that proves they can do magic. Now I know
some of you still think this is some kind of trick, but I also have something
else to prove to you, something that’ll make you one hundred percent believe
that magic, as it is called. Is very real.”
 
“And what proof would that be?” asked another person in the group.
 
Instead of answering, Joseph went to the corner of the room and carefully
dragged a large steamer trunk over to the group, where he opened it and too a
step into it, before saying with a smirk, “Now please, follow me. It is as safe
as can be” And with that he slowly disappeared down into the trunk.
 
Most people there thought this was some kind of trick, so they lifted the trunk
off the floor to see if there was a trapdoor underneath the trunk. But as they
did, not only did they find that there was no trapdoor, but they could hear
Joseph calling from the trunk, “Are you coming or not?”
 
For a startled few moments, no one knew what to think, but than it was Jake
that came up for a way to prove if it was some kind of magicians trick or not.
The idea was for them to put the trunk onto the table. And for him to go down
into the trunk following joseph. But when Jake got up and entered into the
trunk, they were shocked to see him walking down slowly into it and
disappearing just like joseph. They all got up and slowly one by one, the rest
of the group entered down into the trunk.
 
Once they all had entered into the trunk, they saw Joseph smirking at them. He
said with a smile, “I see that you all finally found your way down here, now
you know that magic, and what I’m about to tell you about aliens, are to my
best knowledge. True.”
 
As they looked around in amazement. They saw that they were in a room that was
the size of a three bedroom house, with three doors leading out of the room.
There were no walls, a few tables and blinders that broke up the room in
several places. Otherwise nothing of interest besides being in a steamer trunk.
The size of it was very shocking, and one of them had to say, in a shocked
manner, “How is this all possible, this trunk breaks all laws of physics.”
 
“You have yet to see anything really amazing about this trunk,” explained
Joseph, “as for physics, you’ll soon learn that when it comes to magic, it
breaks all known laws of physics that we know of. So you’ll need to keep an
open mind when it comes to magic. Science will not help you here”
 
“So what kind of threat does this Wizarding World possess to us?”
 
“It depends really,” began Joseph, “as long as there’s no Dark Lords -”
 
“What is a Dark Lord?” asked someone.
 
“Hmm, I would say a Dark Lord is someone like Adolf Hitler,” Joseph compared
the two thoughtfully, “now without a Dark Lord, the threat is very low. I won’t
deny that there are some threats, as like any huge communities, there are a bad
elements in each of them. But without someone leading the bad elements,
gathering them together and setting the rules. The threats are normally low.
But with a leader the risk is even higher.”
 
“What is the normal basic threat, that we would see from the Wizarding World?”
asked Jake.
 
“From the people of the Wizarding World? As long as we leave them alone,
there’s very little threat at all,” explained Joseph “but should we push them,
with thing as we are at the moment I couldn’t say. But seeing that very few
know about them, if they plan carefully they could kill most of us before we
even knew what was going on, and we wouldn’t even knew about it, as they could
make it like it seem that there was some kind of accident happening.”
 
“How is that even possible?” asked someone in the group.
 
“They have a spell that could alter people’s mind, so they could use that on
us, so we wouldn’t even know there was an attack going on.” Joseph explained to
the group which caused many fearful whispers, with the ability to alter
someone's memories, it is very worrying especially to the ones in power . “This
spell to alter memories leads me to the dark elements of the Wizarding World,
as the risks are a bit higher for this group. Whilst these dark element
normally keep to their own world, every so often they come to our world to have
their ‘fun’ with us. As they would make us forget our women were raped and
maybe killed by them, or make use forget who hurt and/or killed those that we
knew. It would all seem like an accident after they were done”
 
“What can we do about this?” asked Joseph’s friend John.
 
“As of right now?” asked Joseph, “Nothing at all, as far as I know, there is no
way for us without magic to counter the memory spell. But I do have a plan,
I’ll explain that later, for now, if you follow be to another room. I’ll show
you proof of aliens if you still want it after this demonstration and read a
few documents I have managed to obtain about them and the magical world.”
 
And with that last sentence, all of them followed him through one of the doors
on the side of the hall, where they found themselves at some kind of shooting
range, with strange weapons that they as military men, had never seen before.
There were even a few tables with documents on them, here Joseph explained were
about the weapons in the room, and there were photos on the aliens that a black
ops group of the government had managed to take. Sadly, there was little
information about the aliens, as the one the black ops managed to catch, wasn’t
talking even under torture.
 
The one time they were able to get information on the two races that had
visited Earth many times, and that the main reason they came to Earth. Was to
capture humans and experiment on them. But they never got the information as to
why they were doing the experiments on the humans, but the black ops groups
suspected the reason was that the aliens want to learn more about humans maybe
to find out what our weaknesses where. Sometimes they would send the humans
back to Earth, but most of the time, for some strange reason they would not and
would keep them. Why not? The black ops groups had no ideas just vague
theories.
 
As for the two races, the group looked at the pictures in the documents, the
saw two names: the Salarians and the Turians. Some of the information was from
the alien examination, and another is that they had interrogated a few ofthe
aliens.
 
The Salarians are a bipedal race of amphibians, with tall, elongated bodies
that were well-suited for their high metabolism. There skeletons were composed
of more cartilage than those of other races such as humans. Salarians heads are
long and thin, and have a pair of horns protruding from the top of their
skulls. Skin varies in color, from bright reds and greens to the more common
shades of blue or grey. Their blood is a greenish color. Salarian eyes are
large and oval and have thin membranes in place of eyelids. There pupils are a
wide slit, oriented horizontally, and the irises can be dark green, purple,
red, blue, or brown. Salarians blink upwards, rather than downwards as humans
do. Leading to several human soldiers calling them frogs.
 
Salarians are noted for their high-speed metabolism, which allows them to
function on just one hour of sleep a day. This in turn allows them to work
longer and harder than a normal twenty-four hour schedule. Their minds and
bodies work faster than most sapient races, making them seem restless or
hyperactive. Most humans consider them as having ADD. The drawback of this
active metabolism is a short lifespan of around forty human years.
 
The Salarians are amphibian haplo-diploid egg-layers; unfertilized eggs produce
males and fertilized eggs produce females. Once a year, a Slarian female will
lay a clutch of dozens of eggs. Social rules prevent all but a fraction from
being fertilized. As a result, 90% of the species is male. This is considered
completely alien to humans as any egg on a human planet would need a fertilized
egg to hatch something.
 
Salarians have photographic memories and rarely forget a fact. Another nickname
from humans is the living dictionary. They also possess a form of psychological
"imprinting", tending to defer to those they knew in their youth. Salarian
hatching is a solemn ritual in which the clan Dalatrass (matriarch) isolates
herself with the eggs. The young Salarians psychologically imprint on her and
tend to defer to her wishes. Humans equate this to royalty as the queen and her
drones. During the hatching of daughters, the Dalatrasses of the mother and
father’s clans are present at the imprinting. This ensures the offspring have
equal loyalty to both, ensuring the desired dynastic and political unity. This
is why it is extremely rare to see different clans working together outside of
their family clans.
 
Salarians were the scientists who lead the experimentation on the humans,
finding out all they could about the human race.
 
Next were the Turians, whose race typically stood over six feet tall, having
two long, proportionately thick fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand,
each tipped with talons, and a set of mandibles around their mouths. The most
distinguishing feature of Turians, is their metallic carapace. Which contains
trace amounts of thulium. The Turians evolved this trait as a defence against
the greater levels of solar radiation that penetrate their homeworlds weak
magnetic field. Humans sometimes equate this to the skull plating on a rhino.
 
Turian features are avian, making them resemble humanoid birds or raptors,
however unlike most Earth avian creatures, Turians are viviparous and give
birth to live young. Turians are also recognisable by their voices, which have
a distinctive flanging effect. Males and females do not differ greatly in
physical appearance, but female Turians lack the crest of horns found in the
males of the race. The lifespan of a Turian is comparable to that of a human.
 
Turians exhibit the characteristics of predators rather than those of prey
species. Their forward-facing alert eyes give the impression that they possess
outstanding eyesight and their teeth and jaws mimic the structures possessed by
apex predators such as crocodiles or ancient, carnivorous dinosaurs. Needless
to say, their talons on both their feet and hands seem capable of ripping
flesh. As such, their diet is primarily meat-based. Their slender bodies also
seem to suggest that they are also capable of moving at high speeds.
 
The Turian homeworld, Palaven, has a metal-poor core, generating a weak
magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. To deal
with this, most forms of life on Palaven evolved some form of metallic
‘exoskeleton’ to protect themselves. Their reflective plate-like skin makes
Turians less susceptible to long-term, low-level radiation exposure, but they
do not possess any sort of ‘natural armour’. A Turians thick skin does not stop
projectiles and directed energy bolts. Turian blood has a dark blue
colouration.
 
Although life on Palaven is carbon-based and oxygen-breathing, it is built on
dextro-amino acids. This places the Turians in a distinct minority on the
galactic stage. The food that the Humans or Salarians (who evolved in levo-
amino acid-based biospheres) eat, will at best pass through Turian systems
without providing any nutrition. At worst, it will trigger an allergic reaction
that can be fatal if not immediately treated. The turian mechanic Lilihierax on
Noveria uses the idiom, "if you can polish enough gizzard". This suggests that
the turians have a digestive system similar to birds and reptiles on Earth,
some of whom swallow stones to help break down harder foods in the stomach.
 
As for the weapons, the recovered equipment that was documented, showed what
each weapon is used for. And that they were powered either by fusion power or
something called a mass accelerator. The technology and power source that these
aliens used was beyond anything that the Human Race could ever dream of, and
that frightened the group.
 
The Turians were the warriors/protectors of the two races, they protected the
scientists from the captives in case they tried to harm them, or should they
try to escape, they would recapture them. The Turians would also be the main
fighters should a battle happen.
 
Then Jake asked what everyone was thinking, “Joseph, what sort of threat, does
either of these two races pose for us?”
 
“Sadly, we don’t know,” Joseph admitted with a deep sigh, “all we know is that
there are two races of aliens kidnapping humans for unknown reason. All we know
is that they are researching us before they begin to attack us. Whether they
want to invade or just straight conquer us is up in the air. So for now, we
should assume the risk is high until we know otherwise and get a better idea on
what their plans are.”
 
“So what do you have planned to deal with these threats?” asked an admiral, “I
don’t think you brought us all here for nothing, if you don’t have any plans
for defending or even making an offense to protect us.”
 
“To be honest, I don’t have any real big plans.” Joseph admitted to the group,
“I brought you here for two reasons, the main one is that many of you have the
money we need to achieve any plans we might put together. As without your
financial aid, we can do nothing.” Here those who were rich conversed with each
other, unsure how they felt about this, but Joseph ignored them and said, “But
the plans that I do have are basic, seeing that I believe that the world at one
point will fuck itself over and probably kill everyone in it. My major goal is
that I want to save the best of the best of us. And work in the shadows not
only for our own gain, but to find the people with similar thinking about
saving the qualified and having them join us.”
 
“And how do you plan to do that?” asked John.
 
“To find a new planet to call home, to move the brightest of us to a place that
will be far away from the fighting.” Joseph admitted, which started up more
whispers, “I know what you are thinking, how can we do that? Well it is part of
my plan, with what i’m planning, I feel that with hope and a lot of hard work.
We will with your help will be able to build a Research Centre somewhere in the
Southwest Commonwealth. In the public's eyes I will be planning to make it so
that they think we are just that very idea, a Research Centre that will work
toward furthering technology, one that will show that we will be wanting to
better our future. But the truth is, we would be doing something that the
public will never know about. I'll be trying to reproduce these alien weapons,
and some other things for our use, mainly their Space Ships, so we can find our
new homeworld. But not only that, I will try to find a way to defend ourselves
should we face them at some point. As with their actions so far that very idea
will be needed in the close future.”
 
“Whilst your ideas have several merits, what about this Commonwealth Council
the government is trying to create. The one in that will give each Commonwealth
a say, a so called vote. Something that will allow the other Commonwealth's an
ability to be able to not fuck each other over. What happens if the government
succeeded in creating the Council? How will that affect your plans?” asked
John, “As it is rumoured that one of the things they will do as a Council is
review every new technology and decide what the public is ready for, whether
they will have a use for it or not, and if not they'll put it on the back
burner. If that happens, we will not be able to access the technology or use
it.”
 
“That's what I'm hoping for,” Joseph commented, shocking them, “in fact, it's
that very reason that I’m hoping that we could somehow get one of us into the
position as one of the new Governors of the new Commonwealth to make sure it
happens.”
 
“Why would you want that to happen?” asked a politician, “Wouldn't it make it
harder for us to be able to do anything. Any plans needing that technology
would be blocked.”
 
“Simple, as long as the country has low technology, it would make it harder for
those who are foolish to want to try and destroy our world using that
technology. And it will allow us more time to build our own forces up. Even if
the technology is blocked, it doesn’t mean we will not have access to it.”
Joseph explained his reasoning, “And whilst they are limited as to what they
can do, we’ll have a hidden factory building our forces and stockpiling weapons
and technology.”
 
Here the group couldn’t help but be impressed at the thoughtful plan, the
specifics were very well thought out and it made them think about what else he
was planning for. The plan could use some tweaking but with the massive amount
of knowledge that was held within every politician, general, admiral, and rich
backer that were in the room, it would be a piece of cake to change it to
something that would work very well in the future.
 
“So we build up for the alien threat. I understand that plan, but what are your
plans for the magical threat?” asked John.
 
“At the moment, there’s not much we can do,” admitted Joseph, then thoughtfully
he responded, “Although there’s one thing on our side, they need to use some
sort of focus, mainly their major concern is about how they use their wands -
although there are similar focuses, but they normally use wands which can be
lost, taken away from them or even broken. Although there a few of these Magic
Users who can use magic without any focuses at all, which they call Wandless
Magic. The majority still use a wand.”
 
“So all we have to do is make a move before they can get to their focus first?”
asked someone in the group, “Unless they can do this Wandless Magic, that is?
“You are correct,” admitted Joseph, “but be warned, there are many that will
have kept their focus in some kind of holster that is usually on their wrists,
to keep it close to them at all times. Most of the time it would be on their
wrist, but some use other areas to hold the holsters like on their belts. So in
most cases, it is all about reflex. Who is quicker on the draw, the faster draw
wins. Now although I know it isn’t possible right now, due to us not having the
technology at the moment, but one of the main reasons I want to start this
Research Centre is because I want to create our own magic users. Not only so
that we can defend ourselves against the Magic Users, but for when our
descendants are able to live in space. They would be able to handle anything
that they might face, whether a disaster or outside concerns. On of the reasons
is I don’t think that the Salarians and the Turians are the only things that
will be a threat. There could be other alien species out there as well. So I
want to make a Super Race that can handle whatever might come, any threat that
will be after the human face.”
 
“You do know you sound like Adolf Hitler, he had the same idea?” asked Jake,
shocked at what Joseph had planned, “Wanting to create a super master race of
humans. That’s what Hitler wanted, and one of the reasons the world fought
against him. What makes your plan different than his?”
 
“That is one part of the reason,” acknowledged Joseph, “know that what we
fought against, was the idea that Hitler was trying to force his beliefs onto
others. If he wanted to create his own Super master race in his own country,
then we wouldn’t have any problems outside of the bleeding hearts and we
wouldn’t have started the last war. No, what I want is to find the best of the
best and keep them safe, and create those lucky few through good breeding, to
become the new Super Race. I won’t force those who don’t want to be something
better to become apart of this new race.”
 
With this, they all felt relief, they feared that Joseph would become like a
new Adolf Hitler, forcing those innocent to become something they didn’t want
to become. As they all feared that it might have lead to another war.
 
Then a thought came to John, and he decided to voice this thought out loud,
“But what are your plans should there be a nuclear war or something? Just as
something bad happens before everything you have planned is about to do come
into being?”
 
“Honestly John?” asked Joseph, “I have no idea what i would do, which is why I
asked you lot to come here. I have no backup plans. I want you to come up with
ideas that I wouldn’t be able to come up with. Make a few backup plans. And
fill in the gaps that are missing in my plan. So will you lot join me, join me
to bring together a group against all threats, be it magical, extraterrestrial,
or anything else that stands against us? Will you join me to create a new
powerful Super Race that can hold their own against anything or anyone that
dares threaten us?”
 
To the others there in this meeting, seeing the proof of magic and alien life,
and seeing the possible threats that they both held, there was only one answer:
yes, they would join in Joseph’s plan. They couldn’t afford not to, not with
what they have seen so far, and so the group decided that for the next few
months, they would talk about the plans. They would decide how to make Joseph’s
plan come true, to also make backups for his plan.
 
Over the years, they become known as the Enclave. A place that would further
the technology and equipment of the world to face any and all threats. A group
of like minded people that would stand up and say we are not afraid. Not only
that, but with the added funds from the many interested rich backers, they were
able to buy a mountain in the Southwest Commonwealth. Where they were able to
create Joseph’s Research Centre deep within the mountain. The Research Centre
would be known as the Big Mountain Research and Development Center, or
alternately known as Big MT for short. The future started to look bright for
they all felt safe now that the plan was coming together.

Chapter End Notes
     Authors Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END: Here ends chapter one of
     Magical Fallout, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing
     it. And if you did enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know
     what you think, but no flames, as they’ll be ignored or deleted if
     they are guest reviews. I would like to thank timdraco for beta
     reading this chapter, as he added a few things and made sure what I
     had was right. Now I would like to ask that when you review, could
     you give me a few ideas as to what happens in the next thirty years
     or so with the Enclave, as in the next chapter will be a timeskip,
     where we’ll see Harry Potter and see what his life was like. But want
     to put a small summary, if possible, as to what the Enclave has been
     up to before I write about Harry.
     So you know, whilst some of Harry’s life will be like in the books,
     I’m going to change things so Harry will be stronger than in the
     books, and become a much darker character because of betrayal.
     I would like your help with a few things, things that I don’t know
     where to start looking, as I don’t know the right words needed: part
     of being dyslexic and having a bad schooling. In the Fallout
     Universe, factories are no longer working for one reason or another -
     it was blown up, was in a shutdown mode, safety mode or did not have
     power. So for one reason or another, there has been no new things,
     either because they didn’t have the knowledge to do so, or the
     resources to fix the problem. Now in the game we were lead that most
     of the things other than food chems, were scavenged throughout the
     Fallout World. But after talking to a few people about a mod I was
     thinking of using, they pointed out that over the next two hundred or
     so years, people would begin to rebuild their lives.
     So I was thinking that they would start of with using technology from
     the Medieval or Victorian eras, so I was wondering what you think of
     the idea, and what technology should they use seeing that power/
     electric is limited unless you have power generators. I would like
     anything that could help people rebuild their lives, but in a limited
     way, with just the basics, power armour (which will have different
     uses than what was in the game,) power generators and whatever else
     you might think they would still have in the Fallout World after the
     Great War - please let me know what you think they could be.
     What tools would they need to create to live on? Like things to make
     clothes, food, basic tools to use and such, give me a list please. I
     also would like to ask, how would they make concrete so that they
     could make cement, and barbed wire to make fences? And last whilst I
     thinking about it, the metal to make more Power Armour. I hope you
     can help me, as all the information well be very helpful in writing
     the aftermath of the Great War. I know that some of you are going to
     say that most of this is explained in Fallout 4, however though in
     real life, things wouldn’t already be made, we would need more
     material to create things and would need to create new tools to make
     things, which is why I ask for ideas and such.
     Now I have a VERY important question, and one I need the answer to if
     I want to make this story realistic as possible, and the question is
     this: without a GECK, would plants and other plant life in the world
     regrow and if so how fast? I ask as there are some people create mods
     that have the game with grass, tree and such, sometimes it is wild,
     sometimes it isn’t. But I want to know if these mods are realistic or
     not, are those who create them do think so, but I want to know what
     you think.
     So once again thanks for reading, and I hope you can help with my
     requests and questions, as all the help will help me write the next
     chapter much faster.
     Author's Note from timdraco: Give him a shot. I think this story is
     going places. I might not be able to help out as much as I can so he
     will be looking for other beta readers besides myself. Throw him an
     im on ff and help him out a bit. This story so far has a few things
     that even i find interesting so even as i am helping him with
     spelling and such, i still will be reading it as well.
***** (Pre-War Saga - Part 3!) Chapter 2 - Harry Potter - Part 1. *****
Author’s_Note: I was unhappy that I got only ONE review in the last chapter, I
thought that I would get a few as it explained about how the Enclave was
created and I thought people would have a few thoughts about it. Anyway,
hopefully this chapter will get some reviews.
 
And to LeoTheSage, who said I should make sure that people know that there were
elements of Mass Effect, I would like to say that I did. In the prologue, I put
it in the warning part of it, I said there's slight reference to Mass Effect,
and if you read in story summary, you would know that this would have elements
of Harry Potter. In fact, Harry Potter World would have a huge effect to the
story. And it is mainly about the Fallout World, but with elements of Harry
Potter and reference to Mass Effect. I should have made it clearer in the
summary and warning, but it was there should you read the start of the prologue
clearly.
 
This is part one of two chapters about Harry Potter, the start is to show what
happens at over the last thirty years since the Enclave was created before we
went on to Harry. The part of Harry is summarised with minor changes to his
life, I didn’t want to do so many chapters about Harry, as this story until
Fallout 4 Saga is meant to be mainly about the Fallout Universe and it learning
about magic and having better tech. We’ll see Harry more in the Fallout 4 Saga
of this story.
 
                                 Chapter_Two…
 
                           (Pre-War_Saga_-_Part_3!)
 
                            Harry_Potter_-_Part_1.
 
31st of July 1998 - The Dursley’s Household:
 
It has been nearly thirty years since the Enclave was founded, although no one
apart for a select few knew about it, and over fifty years since World War 2
ended. Now one would think that with World War 2 being over, things would have
changed, that the world would try and become better, that they would try and
improve themselves. Sadly, it wasn’t the case, in another time maybe. But
during the war, research that would have helped change the world, was lost
during the fires and bombings due to multiple conflicts around the world.
 
Now if that wasn’t the only problem, the world might have gotten further ahead,
but it was thanks to the American Commonwealth Council and the uneasy peace,
that the world had forced Japan and China to take, that things were so slow
research wise. Japan and China were a few of the countries that could create
high tech advances, but with their trust issues with the rest of the world,
there lack of trust for one. The fear that what they would create could be
turned against them, they decided that they would not share what they have
already created and so limited what the rest of the world would have worked
towards if they had worked together on advances.
 
And for the American Commonwealth Council, over the years they had limited what
people could have in the way of advances in technology. They feared that should
they have too much progress at once, they might use it to destroy the world or
hurt one and another starting another world war. Even though people knew that
the Big MT was a place that researched technology, medicine, space travel and
so on, they also knew that the American Commonwealth Council was holding out
what the public could have in regards to technology and further advances in
science. Whilst they were upset about this, when they were informed with the
reasons why, they knew that for the safety of their country. They would grit
their teeth and bare with it. Although there were some groups who would try and
fight against the ruling, but nothing changed outside of a few that hoarded the
technology.
 
But it didn’t mean that there wouldn't be any advancement in certain areas as
most were in medical ways, two of the medical discoveries were Rad-X and
RadAway. These two items were invented because of the research on atomic power,
those workers that had worked on the research, had gotten radiation poisoning.
So to solve this problem they created Rad-X and RadAway to combat the problem:
 
Rad-X is an anti-radiation chemical that can significantly reduce the danger of
irradiated areas, so made it a bit safer for people to enter irradiated areas
for a short time.
 
RadAway is an intravenous chemical solution that bonds with radiation particles
and passes them through the body's system. It takes some time to work, and is
also a potent diuretic.
 
Another advancement was in the work in the army and medical industries, where
they created a powered exoskeleton, an exoskeleton was a supportive mechanism
for the human skeletal system, it had metal bars connecting to the legs and
arms, down the back of a person for support. The basic model would allow
someone who had problems walking, who then could put on the exoskeleton and
would be able to walk again. The more advanced models had a huge power packs on
the back of them, this allowed the exoskeleton to increase significantly the
strength of the user but at the cost of mobility. Because of this, it was used
initially for transport support purpose only, or to be used on job sites.
Although the police and military did put army plated plates on the
exoskeletons, they might not be super armour, but as long as they won't hit by
a missile, an anti-armour bullet, a powerful explosive device, or a bitter from
a tank, they made a difference between life and death depending upon what they
were facing.
 
Life went on, no matter what advancements were or were not are, people went on
living with their normals lives, never knowing the many secrets put there. Oh,
that was apart for one young man by the name of Harry Potter, he like a select
few knew, knew of one secret hidden in the world: the Wizarding World.
 
Now this Harry Potter was an eighteen year old young man, who lived an
extraordinary life, a life that many should never should have lead. The young
man in question, was five foot ten inches, who had emerald eyes with a scar
going across his right eye, which he was blind in, he had long unruly black
hair. To tame his hair, Harry tied it into a ponytail, but had a bit over the
front of his head to hide his lightning bolt scar. Harry was wearing a dark
green expensive tailored suit, which revealed his muscle body.
 
As you look at this young man, you would think that other than his right eye,
he had a decent life. But you would be wrong. At the young age of one, he lost
his parents, where he was sent to his abusive aunt and uncle's home, Vernon and
Petunia Dursley where for almost ten years he was abused in one way or another
by them and their son Dudley.
 
Vernon Dursley was a big, beefy man with a large purple face. He had thick,
dark hair, a bushy black moustache, with hardly any neck and small, blue, mean
eyes.
 
Vernon was the director of a company called Grunnings, a drill-making firm,
that supplied the European Commonwealth with anything drill related. Vernon was
in charge of five other Grunnings in England. Of the late, Vernon was in talks
with the American Commonwealth, which Vernon was happy about as the American
Commonwealth were the superpower of the world, that was being out new
technology.
 
In fact their latest technology that they brought out was from a company known
Diamond Inc, it was a thing called a home computer. People knew of the
computers for a while, but most people knew them as big things, that only used
smaller ones at places like Grunnings. They never been used for home until
about a year ago, they brought out home computers that only the rich could
afford at the moment, which is why Vernon got one, to show those who came
around how important and rich he was.
 
Petunia Dursley was a thin, blonde-haired woman with pale green eyes and was
described as having ‘nearly twice the usual amount of neck.’ Although a few
people describe, behind her back, her she looked like a horse when she pursed
her lips. Many times it was also stated that she had horse-like front teeth.
 
Petunia was a nosy, hostile and repressed house-wife who, like her husband, was
obsessed with ‘appearing normal.’ She was very obsessive and a neat-freak, as
she constantly kept her house clean, even to the point of cleaning the kitchen
worktop surfaces before bed. She was not fond of animals either, particularly
whenever Vernon's sister Marge comes with her dogs who slobber all over her
kitchen floor, where she would flinch at the sight of it.
 
Petunia hated anything that was out of the orderly, and which was why she hated
Harry so much, as he was out of the orderly as you can get. She often bullied
and neglected Harry Potter throughout most of his childhood, often calling him
a ‘freak’ and never showed any compassion towards him, whilst constantly
spoiling and praising her son Dudley.
 
Petunia probably was not especially intelligent or talented, as she took on a
rather uninteresting and grunt type setting course at Grunnings after leaving
school, where she first met her husband Vernon. She is also unable to realise
her son Dudley's lack of positive qualities, and believed him to be a gifted
and clever boy, despite the fact he received abysmal school grades. She was
also rather gullible to believe Dudley went to a different friend's house for
dinner each night, when actually he and his gang were causing trouble and
bullying younger children.
 
Dudley Dursley has watery blue eyes and thick blond hair. Growing up, Dudley
was extremely fat, at least four times Harry's size. Harry often thought Dudley
looked like a pig in a wig. In 1994, he had ‘reached the size and weight of a
young killer whale.’ Dudley was too large to fit in a school uniform, so was
forced to go on a diet by his school, which was largely comprised of food which
Vernon called ‘rabbit food’ (fruits and vegetables) which Dudley rarely ate
otherwise. Vernon and Petunia usually made excuses on why he was large, such as
that his poundage was really ‘puppy fat’ or that he was a ‘growing boy.’ Dudley
mostly ate junk food, hated exercise, and often played video games. When Harry
and the Dursleys ate breakfast Dudley's flab would often hang off the chair
because he was too big and eventually a TV was bought for the kitchen after
Dudley had complained about the distance from the living room to the fridge. He
was also incredibly lazy. This may have had something to do with his weight
problem.

However, by 1995 after facing his fears, Dudley had taken up boxing and
weightlifting, and lost a great deal of weight. And over time he appeared
‘large, blond, and muscular,’ wearing a leather jacket. Harry learnt that his
cousin was still a bit of a bully, but he wasn't as before, as he was releasing
his aggressive out in the boxing ring and was slow controlling his aggressive.
 
Now Harry Potter was sitting in his old home No. 4 Privet Drive, waiting to
talk to his Uncle Vernon. Harry found it strange in many ways, one of which was
that when he didn't need to be, he was back at this hellhole. There was so many
bad memories here it was surprising that he would come back here voluntarily,
but his so called uncle reached out to him asking to see each other one last
time. But Harry's curiosity got the better of him, and so the young man went to
see his uncle one last time.
 
Although he was now at his old home, Harry found it strange that Vernon wanted
anything to do with him, as it was secret that the two never got along and the
fat bastard never liked him as long as he lived with them. So the question
becomes, what was important that the man who hated him so much, would want to
meet up.
 
As Harry waited for his so called uncle, he thought about his years here at No.
4 Privet Drive, and how when he was eleven years old everything changed for him
- and not for the best at most times. It all started when he was only a year
old, when his parents were killed and he was sent to his aunt and uncle. At
first he was lead to believe that his parents were no good layabout drunks, and
his mother was a whore, and they were killed in a car accident, but with the
way they talked about him and his parent, Harry wondered how they really dead.
It wasn’t until he was eleven that he found out the truth about his parents,
and why his Uncle and Aunt really hated him.
 
It would seem that all this time where they kept telling him that magic wasn’t
real, was a lie, and that not only did he had it, but so did his parent, they
were what was known as Wizards and Witches. Harry learnt the truth from a half-
giant by the name of Hagrid, after what seemed to be thousands of mysterious
letters begin sent to him. His family tried to keep them out of reach from
Harry, but each day more keep coming and appearing in some strange places, it
wasn’t until Hagrid came that Harry learnt the truth.
 
Hagrid found him on a secluded island shack, where his uncle was hoping to hide
from whoever was sending the letters to Harry. But on the stock of midnight,
there was a large bang on the door and Hagrid enters where he hands Harry an
admissions letter to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Harry
learns what the Dursleys have tried to deny Harry’s wizardry all these years.
 
That his parents were killed by a Dark Lord known to many as You-Know-Who or
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, it took a while but Harry learnt this Dark Lord
called himself, Lord Voldemort. Harry also learnt that he was famous, because
this Voldemort character tried to kill him but instead the spell backfired and
killed the Dark Lord instead.
 
Harry still remembered the next day if it was yesterday, Hagrid took him to
London to shop for school supplies. When they entered the pub called the Leaky
Cauldron, he was mobbed by the people there because he was the Boy-Who-Lived.
Once entering the shopping area known as Diagon Alley, he got money to the
wizard bank, Gringotts, where Harry learnt that his parents have left him a
hefty supply of money. Once he got his money, Harry got fitted for his school
uniform and brought his books, ingredients for potions, other equipment and,
finally, a magic wand - where he learnt it was the companion wand to the evil
Voldemort’s.
 
A month later, came to Hogwarts where in the first few months, he befriended
other first-year students like Ron Weasley, a Pureblood, and Hermione Granger,
a Muggleborn girl. Harry was shocked that the first-years were sorted into the
House by taking turns putting on a hat called The Sorting Hat, to find out in
which residential house they will live in for the next seven year. Harry fears
being assigned to the sinister Slytherin house, but he, Ron, and Hermione end
up in the noble Gryffindor house - Harry bagged the Hat to place him into
Gryffindor.
 
Other than learning magic, Harry was suspecting a normal time at Hogwarts, but
it wasn’t the case. First off other than a few professors at Hogwarts who
shouldn’t be teaching at all, but there was onemain professor that Harry knew
shouldn’t be teaching at all, one Professor Severus Snape. He couldn’t teach to
save his life, and not only that but unless you were a Slytherin, you had no
hope with him. What was worse was that Snape hated him, that he didn’t learn
until years later, and the reason Snape hate Harry was because of James Potter.
 
It would be during his fifth year that Harry learnt that his father bullied
Snape badly, and because of this Snape treated everyone else like shit. Harry
thought Snape was a pity little man because of this, as he let this one thing
drive the rest of his life, and treat anyone who wasn’t a Slytherin badly.
 
Other than Snape treating badly, there was the problem with one of the school
bully, Draco Malfoy, who was in Slytherin. From the moment they entered
Hogwarts, Malfoy was trying to get on his back and bully him and his friends in
one way or another. No matter what, none of the professors would do anything to
stop Malfoy or the other bullies. As the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore wanted to
give them a chance to change their ways, no matter who the bullies might hurt.
 
Over the year, many things happened, like joining Quidditch, a much-loved game
that resembles football played on broomsticks, for Gryffindor, by helping a
fellow Gryffindor, Neville Longbottom. Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin bully,
snatches one prized item that Longbottom dropped when he got hit during Flying
Class, and flies off with it to the top of a tree. Harry flies after him.
Malfoy throws the ball in the air, and Harry speeds downward, making a
spectacular catch. Professor McGonagall witnesses this incident. Instead of
punishing Harry, she recommends that he play Quidditch, a much-loved game that
resembles soccer played on broomsticks, for Gryffindor.
 
However, later that day, Malfoy challenges Harry to a wizard’s duel at
midnight. It was a trap though, as Malfoy doesn’t show up at the appointed
place, and Harry almost gets in trouble. While trying to hide, he accidentally
discovers a fierce three-headed dog guarding a trapdoor in the forbidden third-
floor corridor that they were told about at the start of the year.
 
On Halloween, a troll is found in the building. The students are all escorted
back to their dormitories, but Harry and Ron sneak off to find Hermione, who is
alone and unaware of the troll. Unwittingly, they lock the troll in the girls’
bathroom along with Hermione. Together, they defeat the troll. Hermione tells a
lie to protect Harry and Ron from being punished. During Harry’s first
Quidditch match, his broom jerks out of control. Hermione notices Snape staring
at Harry and muttering a curse. She concludes that he is jinxing Harry’s broom,
and she sets Snape’s clothes on fire. Harry regains control of the broom and
makes a spectacular play to win the Quidditch match. After the game they
visited Hagrid, where they learn that the three-headed dog was called Fluffy,
and it was protecting something for Dumbledore and someone called Nicolas
Flamel. With this news, the three looked who Flamel was, so that they knew what
was being hidden at Hogwarts.
 
For Christmas, Harry receives his father’s invisibility cloak, and he explores
the school, unseen, late at night. He discovers the Mirror of Erised, which
displays the deepest desire of whoever looks in it. Harry looks in it and sees
his parents alive. After Christmas, Harry, Ron, and Hermione begin to unravel
the mysterious connection between a break-in at Gringotts and Fluffy. They
learnt that the dog was guarding the Philosopher's Stone, which is capable of
providing eternal life and unlimited wealth to its owner was no other than
Nicolas Flamel, an old friend of Dumbledore’s.
 
A few weeks later, Harry and his friends learned that Hagrid won a dragon egg
in a poker game. Because it is illegal to own dragons, Harry, Ron, and Hermione
contact Ron’s older brother, who studies dragons. They were able to arrange to
get rid of the dragon but things didn't go to plan.
 
To start off with, Ron got his hand bitten by the dragon, which turned out the
bite was poisonous, and he had ended up in the Hospital Wing for a few days.
Next, Draco Malfoy found out about them and the dragon, as he ‘borrowed’ Ron's
book that had a letter from Ron's brother Charlie, agreeing to take the dragon
off their hands. On the night that they were going to get rid off the dragon,
they saw Draco trying to warn Professor McGonagall but she didn't believe him.
Thinking that they were safe, Harry and Hermione went up the tower to hand over
the dragon to Charlie’s friends. The problem was that in their excitement of
seeing Malfoy getting into trouble, they forgot to put Harry's invisibility
cloak that they were using back on, and was caught by the miserable caretaker,
Argus Filch.
 
Filch took them to McGonagall, where they saw Neville Longbottom in her office,
who seemed to found out what Malfoy was trying to do somehow, and was trying to
find them and warn them, but was caught by Filch too. Thinking it was a prank
on Malfoy gone wrong, each of them had fifty points taken away from them for
being out of their dorms after curfew. Furthermore, part of their punishment,
they would have detention at a later date.
 
With the three of them losing a total of one hundred and fifty points, apart
with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Neville were in the dog house with the rest of
the Gryffindors. They made their lives hell, treating them as something they
stepped in. And so the following months, they kept their heads down and tried
not to draw attention to themselves.
 
For the next few weeks, Harry did just that, he kept his head down, and made
sure he didn't get into any sort of trouble, that was until he had his
detention.
 
They were in the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid to find out who has been killing
unicorns recently, when Harry comes upon a hooded man drinking unicorn blood.
The man tries to attack Harry, but Harry is rescued by a friendly centaur,
Firenze, who tells him that his assailant was Voldemort. Harry also learns that
it is Voldemort who has been trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone.
 
Harry decides that he must find the stone before Voldemort does. He, Ron, and
Hermione sneak off that night to the forbidden third-floor corridor. They get
past the guard dog and perform many impressive feats as they get closer and
closer to the stone. Harry ultimately finds himself face to face with Quirrell,
who announces that Harry must die. Knowing that Harry desires to find the
stone, Quirrell puts Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised and makes him state
what he sees. Harry sees himself with the stone in his pocket, and at that same
moment he actually feels it in his pocket. But he tells Quirrell that he sees
something else. A voice tells Quirrell that the boy is lying and requests to
speak to Harry face to face. Quirrell removes his turban and reveals
Voldemort’s face on the back of his head. Voldemort, who is inhabiting
Quirrell’s body, talks to Harry, informed the Boy-Who-Lived that the night that
he attacked the Potters, he was only there for Harry. And that his mother
didn’t have to die, if she hadn’t gotten in the way, she didn’t have to die.
 
When Harry asked why the Dark Lord wanted him dead, Voldemort would only say he
would only inform him should he hand over the Philosopher's Stone. Not wanting
a Dark Lord who killed his parents and wanted him dead, told him where to get
off. Because of this, the former Dark Lord instructed Quirrell to kill Harry
after he denied to help the Dark Lord, but Quirrell is burned by contact with
the boy. A struggle ensues and Harry passes out.
 
When Harry regains consciousness, he found himself in the Hospital Wing with
Dumbledore nearby, where he explains that he saved Harry from Quirrell just in
time. He adds that whilst Harry saved the Stone, he and Flamel decided to
destroy the Stone, so that something like what nearly happened with Voldemort
couldn’t happen again.
 
Harry remembered two things from that day, one was that whilst he didn’t say it
aloud, but over the following months, whilst the Flamels might have agreed to
destroy their Stone, Harry didn’t think they did only said they did so not have
Dumbledore on their back. Harry believed that Voldemort wasn’t the first Dark
Lord who wanted the Stone in the past, and if they didn’t destroy it back then,
then why do it now? No, the Flamels most likely told Dumbledore that they would
destroy it, but only used a fake to do so and Harry suspected that in a few
hundred years they might reappear.
 
Another thing was Harry asked his Headmaster why Voldemort went after him, but
the old man would tell him. He said that there was a time and a place, and then
wasn’t the time and the place. He was too young, and wanted him to have a
childhood before tell Harry why the Dark Lord was after him. Harry tried to get
more out of him, but he wouldn’t barge, or help him to learn how to better
defend himself, the Headmaster saying there would be time later for such things
when he was older. This was something Harry didn’t agree with, and so decided
to take that up himself to learn to defend himself.
 
Now once he was finally allowed to leave the Hospital Wing, it was the day of
the end-of-year banquet, where Slytherin was celebrating its seventh
consecutive win of the house championship cup. However though, at the last
moment, Dumbledore stood up and awards many last-minute points to Gryffindor
for the feats of Harry and his friends, winning the house cup for Gryffindor.
Something pissed the Slytherins off, making things worse for the two houses.
 
Either way, for the rest of the week before Harry had to return to London to
spend the summer with the Dursleys. He spent time looking looking up defence
spells. He knew he could do any magic during the summer, but that didn’t mean
he could read them up so he could learn them the following year. Ron and
Hermione, main Ron, was shocked at him being in the library when he didn’t have
to. Not wanting to worry his friends, he told them a half truth, admitting that
with facing the Dark Lord made him realize he was holding back too much. So he
wanted to be better prepared and wanted to get ready for the next year. Whilst
Ron was horrified at this, Hermione could understand this, and helped her
friend where Ron spent playing chess with others in Gryffindor. Harry also
found a useful titbit, there was a magical transportation known as the Knight
Bus that could allow a Wizard/Witch to get from point A to point B with ease.
 
Harry remembered his summer after the first year very will, it was much better
than any before, as long as he did a few chores and stayed away from No. 4
Privet Drive, his aunt and uncle wouldn’t bother him. So both of them got
something out of this deal. Most of the summer Harry used the Knight Bus, worse
transportation ever with all the bumping about it made, to get to Diagon Alley.
 
Here not only did he get some better defense books and other books to help him
in the future, he also brought potions and food to help him get healthier and
stronger. If he wanted to be able to defend himself against Voldemort, he would
need not only know more spells, but a stronger body too. Which is why he needed
the potions and food. And seeing that he can’t do magic over the summer, Harry
started to run, do push ups and other exercises to build up his strength and
stamina, so that he could last longer in a fight.
 
As he got near to his birthday, he was getting worried that he hadn’t heard
anything from his friends. At the start of the summer he wasn’t that worried,
as he was busy with doing homework and getting stronger, he suspected others
were busy with whatever they were doing. However, as July coming to an end,
Harry thought that his friends would sent him a reply to his letters or sent
one themselves by now.
 
The problem was when his birthday came along, where a couple known as the
Masons came to a dinner party hosted by his uncle and aunt. The Masons were the
directors of an aircraft manufacturer of a company called Ball Aerospace in the
American Commonwealth. The plan was that he would stay in his room whilst they
had their dinner party, but the problem was when a strange creature known as a
House-Elf, a race of magical servants, came to visit.
 
The house-elf was called Dobby, who came to warn Harry not to return to
Hogwarts, as there was some sort of great danger was going to happen at the
school. Dobby even threaten not to return the letters he kept from Harry in the
hopes that Harry would think he wouldn’t have no friends, and so would not
return to Hogwarts. Seeing that Dobby didn’t explain what the threat was, and
that he needed to learn to defend himself, Harry politely disregards the
warning, and so Dobby wreaked havoc in the kitchen, infuriating the Dursleys.
As it made Vernon lose the biggest deal of his life, as an Owl came to give
Harry a warning about underage magic, scared Mrs. Mason beyond believe.
 
The Dursleys angrily imprisoned Harry in his room for what meant to be the rest
of the summer, but luckily for Harry though, his friend Ron and his twin
brother’s rescued Harry by a flying car that they borrowedfrom their father.
Something the three of them got into trouble for when they got home.
 
The rest of the summer at the Weasleys was fine, other than the young and only
daughter of the Weasleys: Ginevra ‘Ginny’ Weasley, who was starting Hogwarts
that year. The only point of interest was when they went shopping for school
supplies, where Harry had two unfortunate encounters. He first encounters
Lockhart, one of his teachers, who demands to be in a photo shoot with Harry.
Harry then encounters Lucius Malfoy, the evil father of one of Harry's enemies,
who almost starts a fight with Mr. Weasley.
 
On the day that they return to Hogwarts, Harry finds that he and Ron were
unable to enter the magically invisible train platform, so with no other idea
as to what they should do, they went with Ron’s suggestion and flew Mr.
Weasley’s car to Hogwarts. Sadly they land messily and damaged a tree called
Weeping Willow, a tree that hits back, and because of this both boys are given
detentions. When they had their first class of the year, Harry meet up with
Lockhart, who believed that Harry flew the car to get more attention, and so
lectures Harry about fame and needing to be careful of it at an early age.
 
Nothing of interest really happened, other than his first Quidditch practice
where they were interrupted by the Slytherin team. Snape had signed it off so
they could use the pitch so they could train their new Seeker, who was none
other than Draco Malfoy. Things went downhill when Malfoy calls Hermione a
‘mudblood,’ a term that was insulting her Muggle heritage. Here Ron tried to
hex the young Malfoy, but because of his broken wand, which happened when they
hit the Weeping Willow, the spell backfired and hitting him instead. To this
day Harry couldn’t help but laugh as he remembered it, as Ron was spewing out
slugs from his mouth for the next few hours, where they spent it at Hagrid’s
until it passed.
 
Things begun to go south on Halloween, when someone petrifies the school
caretaker's cat and writes a threatening message: The Chamber of Secrets has
been opened. Enemies of the Heir… Beware! The thing was that before the attack,
Harry hear a strange eerie voice, which he hear once before that night. He
heard it before during his detention with Lockhart, but when Lockhart didn’t
hear it, Harry thought seeing it was getting late, he was only hearing things.
But now, he wasn’t sure if the voice was real or not.
 
After that night, the school was alarmed, and they were trying to figure out
what the Chamber of Secrets. Because of his behaviour, many suspected Draco
Malfoy was behind the attack. By doing some research, Harry, Ron, and Hermione
learn that fifty years ago a chamber at Hogwarts was opened and a student was
killed. So at the time, they thought someone told Malfoy how to open the
Chamber, and curry on with getting rid of the unworthy.
 
A week past since the attack on the caretaker's cat, and things were quieting
down once again, and would have been forgotten. But it wasn’t the case, during
his first Quidditch match against Slytherin an enchanted Bludger chased Harry
across the pitch, until the moment he grabbed the Snitch and the Rogue Bludger
hits Harry’s arm which breaks it. And before anyone could stop Lockhart, the
fool tried to heal the bones, but instead he vanished them away and so Harry
had to spend the night in the Hospital Wing having his bones regrown.
 
During this time Dobby, the damn House-Elf, came to the Hospital Wing and told
Harry that he enchanted the Rogue Bludger, in the hopes that Harry would be
sent home. Harry tried to get more info out of the damn creature, but he
wouldn’t so Harry warned the House-Elf if he tried to savehim again, he would
kill the blasted creature. Moments after the warning, professor Dumbledore and
Mcgonagall brought in the body of a first-year Gryffindor, who has been
petrified arrive at the hospital: Colin Creevey. A bothersome first year, who
would not leave Harry alone.
 
Soon after, Lockhart begins a dueling club. During the first meeting, Harry
terrifies his fellow students by speaking in Parseltongue to a snake. Harry's
ability frightens the others because only the heir of Slytherin, who is
responsible for opening the chamber, would have the ability to converse with
snakes. Harry comes under further suspicion when he stumbles upon the petrified
bodies of Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly- Headless Nick.
 
Determined to catch the culprit, Ron, Harry and Hermione brew a potion called
Polyjuice within a the girls' restroom that was hunted by a moody ghost named
Moaning Myrtle. The potion allows them to assume the bodies of Slytherins and
question Malfoy on the Chamber of Secrets during the Christmas Holidays. They
find out that Malfoy is not the heir of Slytherin. But he did hope that
Hermione would be next to be attacked, even hoped she would be killed.
 
No more attacks occur for a while, and right before Valentine's Day, where
Harry finds a diary in Moaning Myrtle’s restroom, the diary had the name Tom
Riddle on it. Harry writes in the diary, which responds by writing back.
Through this dialogue, Harry meets Tom Riddle, a boy who many years before had
accused Hagrid of opening the Chamber of Secrets.
 
For the next few months, things went back to normal, and many people thought
that the attacks had stopped. But during the Quidditch match between Gryffindor
vs Hufflepuff, the match was canceled as Hermione and a Ravenclaw girl named
Penelope Clearwater were mysteriously petrified.
 
Harry and Ron venture out of the castle to question Hagrid, seeing that Tom
claimed that it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber the last time. Before they
reach Hagrid though, they saw the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and
Lucius Malfoy remove Dumbledore and Hagrid from Hogwarts.
 
As Hagrid is led away, he instructs the boys that by following the spiders,
they can find out about the Chamber monster. Several nights later, Harry and
Ron sneak into the Forbidden Forest to follow the spiders. They discover the
monster who killed the girl fifty years before was not a spider, that the
girl's body was found in a bathroom, and that Hagrid is innocent. The boys are
almost killed by a colony of giant spiders. As they escape, Harry and Ron
decide that Moaning Myrtle must have been the girl killed by the monster.
 
A few days later, Ron and Harry discover a piece of paper with a description of
a Basilisk on it in Hermione's frozen hand. They deduce the Chamber monster is
a Basilisk. Before the boys can act on their knowledge, the teachers announce
that Ginny Weasley has been taken into the chamber. Ron, Harry, and Lockhart
slide down a secret passage in Myrtle's bathroom to underground tunnels. When
Lockhart accidentally curses himself, so that loses his memories, Ron helps him
and Harry leaves them behind. Harry enters the Chamber of Secrets and
encounters Ginny's still body and Tom Riddle. Tom turns out to be a younger
version of Voldemort, who has been enchanting Ginny through his journal. Harry
calls for help from Dumbledore. A phoenix and a magic hat arrive. Tom summons a
basilisk, but the phoenix punctures its eyes. The hat produces a sword, which
Harry uses to kill the giant snake. Harry sticks a basilisk fang through the
diary, destroying Tom. Ginny wakes up.
 
Harry explains his adventure to Dumbledore. Lucius Malfoy storms into the
office with his house-elf, Dobby, and Harry frees Dobby from by tricking Lucius
into giving Dobby a sock. At the same time warning the House-Elf never go near
him again. All is well in the castle as the students leave for their summer
vacations.
 
The summer after Harry’s second year was like the last, it would seem that they
had charmed down a bit and thought to keep the same deal as last year. As long
as Harry done a few chores here and there, he could do what he wanted as long
as he stayed away from them. He was still using potions to regain the body that
meant to help with his body, he was taking them less and less, as he was about
the right height as he should be for his age. The only reasons he was still
taking the potions was because he still had a few problems with his health,
like his weight and sight and the potions he was taking was slowly repairing
the problems and should be done be the for
 
Other than his normal running, push ups and other exercises to build up his
strength and stamina, he went looking for someone to teach him to fight hand to
hand. Harry knew that magic was all and good, but he knew that sometimes magic
only couldn’t help him much, he might need physical attacks too. Whilst martial
arts would be an ideal way to learn to defend himself, but he felt he needed
something more, something like real street fighting. Real street fighting was
all about several and doing anything to win, and to be able to defeat
Voldemort, he would need such skills that street fighting would give him.
 
So whenever Harry was in London visiting Diagon Alley, he was looking for
street fighters to help him train. It took a few weeks, but thanks to paying
the Goblins at Gringotts to find them. Since than a few times a week he had
been training with them. However things once again turned for the worse for his
summer, things seemed to be fine, he had received gifts by Owl Post from his
friends at school. He even learned about some man called Sirius Black, who
escaped from prison.
 
The problem was Vernon's sister Marge Dursley and her damn bulldog Ripper.
Marge had been visiting her brother for a week, and whenever he was around, she
would take insulting Harry and his parents, but that night after his birthday,
the bitch went too far, and his anger got away from him and his magic
accidentally causes her to inflate.
 
Because of this Harry left the Dursley's, and got the Knight Bus to drop him
off Diagon Alley. Although, just before Harry summoned the Knight Bus, he saw a
large, black dog looking at him. The strange thing was that it looked
concerned, and happy to see him. But just as the bus appeared and Harry looked
back, the dog was gone. So Harry thought nothing more of it. Whilst he was on
the Knight Bus, he found out that Black was a dangerous Dark Wizard that
supported Voldemort in the last war, and so the Ministry of Magic thought it
wise to let know about Black so they could be careful of him.
 
When he got to Diagon Alley, he is greeted by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of
Magic. The fool was acting strangely, relieved that he found the Boy-Who-Lived
safe and sound, and told Harry he didn’t have to worry about what happened at
his aunt and uncle’s place and it was sorted. And that he wouldn’t have to go
back to them until next year, which Harry was planning to do anyway. Fudge also
told him that he should stay within the pub or Diagon Alley, Harry didn’t say
it, as he suspected whatever was wrong with the Minister of Magic, he would
post guards to make sure he did so. So Harry faked the promise that he would,
but over the next few weeks, he would use his invisibility cloak to leave the
pub and head to the places to learn street fighting better. So once he rented a
room for the rest of the summer, he went to bed for the night.
 
Over the rest of the summer, when he wasn’t sneaking out to learn street
fighting, he was either in his room doing his schoolwork or in Diagon Alley. He
would admire the latest broom the Firebolt, whilst he wanted one, he didn’t see
the point getting one, as he already got a decent broom already. Although he
could afford getting one, now that he had access to his Family Vault.
 
You see Harry went into Gringotts to sort a few things out for his training,
when one of the Goblin’s informed him that his Account Manager wanted a word
with him. It would seem that as the last Heir of the Potter Family, he would be
considered as an adult and Lord Potter. They meant to have sent a letter a few
days before his birthday to arrange a meeting, but for some reason the mail
didn’t get to Harry, it was something that the bank will look into. As they
don’t take it kindly to someone interrupting Gringotts’ mail, so they’ll be
looking into it, and any mail from them for Harry will be kept here and it
would be up to the young Lord to pick it up himself, unless it is important in
which case they they’ll send someone to talk to him.
 
One other thing that Harry did was search for info about Sirius Black, he found
it strange somehow, for some reason it didn’t fit will for him. So trusting his
instincts, Harry looked up what he could about this, but the problem was that
whilst there were trails for Voldemort’s followers and other supporters, Sirius
Black didn’t get one for murdering thirteen Muggle and his former best friend
Peter Pettigrew. Harry found this strange, if other followers and other
supporters got trails, why didn’t Black, who was thrown into Azkaban without
one. But Harry didn’t know what he could do with this information until he
found out more.
 
Anyway, the day before he was meant to return to Hogwarts, he meetup with his
best friends Hermione and Ron. During their day together, Hermione brought a
cat named Crookshanks as an early birthday gift from her parents. From the
moment that Crookshanks meet Scabbers, Ron's aging pet rat, he kept on chasing
the rat. Although it was a normal thing for a cat to do, Ron was most
displeased at the monster chasing his pet. The night before they all head off
to Hogwarts, Harry overhears Ron's parents discussing the fact that Sirius
Black is after Harry. Which made Harry understand why the fool Fudge was
relieved to see him.
 
Now the train ride to Hogwarts was normal as ever, Malfoy coming making taunts
to Harry and his friends, but with the new Defense Against the Dark Arts
professor being there, Professor Lupin, Malfoy left before he could say much.
But it was about an hour or two before getting to Hogwarts, when the train
stopped and an entity called a Dementor boarded in the search for Sirius Black.
 
But for some reason, when the Dementor entered Harry’s compartment, it took a
strange interest in Harry for some reason, and because of its strange powers to
bring up bad memories, which made Harry faint after hearing a woman's screams.
He was revived by Professor Lupin, who give him and his friends chocolate to
help the recover, and informed Harry that no one screamed, which confused the
young man and so left it there seeing no one else heard the screaming woman.
 
The first problem of the year was Dumbledore, he tried to change his classes
for the year. You see the year before the students was allowed to pick new
classes that they wanted to learn, but the needed to take at least two new
classes. After some thought, not only about what would be useful in the fight
against Voldemort, but what would be useful after Voldemort was dead, and could
use in a job.
 
So in the end whilst Ron only took Divination and Care of Magical Creatures,
Harry decided to take Care of Magical Creatures, to learn what Creatures he
might face during the battle against the Dark Lord. He also took Study of
Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, as it would help him with becoming a Curse-
Breaker, who can break down and create wards and learn about old magic and
creating new ones and items. Whilst somehow Hermione was able to take all the
classes available.
 
But the thing was that when school got their class schedule, he found that the
classes he signed out for wasn’t on his schedule. Instead he had Divination and
Care of Magical Creatures. When he asked his Head of House, Professor
Mcgonagall, what was going on, she explained that it was Dumbledore who changed
it. When asked how and why the Headmaster of the school had any rights to
change his subjects, Mcgonagall explained that as an orphan and attending
Hogwarts, Dumbledore was his Magical Guardian and could alter whatever he
wanted when it comes to his life and classes until he was considered an adult.
 
This piss Harry off big time, how dare Dumbledore interfer what he wanted to
learn, and so before classes started, Harry went to see the Headmaster. Here
Harry asked why the Headmaster decided to change his subjects without being
asked about, but the Headmaster only said it was important for him to take
Divination and the other two wasn’t at the moment - but not why it was
important to take Divination. So Harry informed the Headmaster that if he
didn’t tell him why Divination important, he wouldn’t considered taking the
class and would take the classes he wanted to take in the first place. To this
day Harry was happy that he didn’t take Divination, as he learnt that the
Professor of the class loved to protect death of those in her class. Harry
suspected that if he was in her class, she would be protecting his death in
every class.
 
Here the old man pulled the Magical Guardian card, and informed him that as
long as he was considered as a child, he could tell Harry what to do, and where
to live. So Harry did the one thing he wanted to keep quiet, and showed the
Headmaster the Family Ring showing him that he was now considered as an adult
now. This shocked the old Headmaster, and tried to find out why he was Lord
Potter now when he let slip that he did everything to make sure it didn’t
happen. Upon hearing this, Harry had to bit his tongue and told Dumbledore that
unless he was willing to him why he needed to take Divination, he wouldn’t tell
him how he became Lord Potter. And he informed the Headmaster that he would be
taking the classes he wanted, and lift the Headmaster’s office.
 
In Study of Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, he learnt that for the year they
would be learning the basics of it all, before they do anything else.
 
In the Care of Magical Creatures class, Hagrid, who somehow become a professor,
introduces the students to Hippogriffs, large, deeply dignified crosses between
horses and eagles. Sadly though the fall Malfoy insulted one of these beasts,
Buckbeak, when he was told not to and the beast attacked him. Malfoy drags out
the injury in an attempt to have Hagrid fired and Buckbeak put to sleep. In
Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin leads the class in a defeat of a
Boggart, which changes shape to appear as the viewer's greatest fear. For
Lupin, it turns into an orb, for Ron, a spider. Along with Hermione, Harry
didn't have a chance to fight it.
 
Other the next few weeks, things got into a nice routine, and with the extra
classes he was considering to give up Quidditch the following year if the class
got tougher as they were warned they would be. Harry soon learned that Hermione
had a Time Turner, an object that allowed her to go back a few hour in time.
The reason Harry learnt about it was that the classes Divination and Runes were
taking the same time, so he soon learned from Ron that Hermione was in the
class same time as him when they were taking Runes.
 
So taking this up with Hermione, she was forced to tell Harry the truth, which
made Harry worried for his friend. As she was only using it to take the
classes, and not for the extra homework or for extra sleep she would need in
doing these extra classes. So Harry forced her to do so, as if she didn’t he
would go to Professor Mcgonagall to see about taking the Time Turner away from
her for not looking after herself and most likely make herself ill. Not wanting
that, Hermione promised she would make sure she create time for sleep and do
extra homework.
 
During this time, Harry forced Hagrid  to take his classes more seriously, and
not keep working on the useless creatures known as Flobberworms. As since what
happened with Malfoy, Hagrid was down in the dumps and wasn’t teaching them
properly. So if he didn’t start taking the classes seriously, he would go to
the school board and get him fired, and get someone who would teach them
properly. Harry didn’t want to do this to his friend, but he was taking this
class to learn about magical creatures  not to look at worms all the time.
 
Thanks to this, not wanting to get fired, Hagrid thanked Harry for pulling him
out of his slump and with some help from Silvanus Kettleburn who taught the
class until the year before, begun to create a suitable class. To begin with
Hagrid  started off with about owls, and how to look after them. He restarted
the class with owls as so many people have them, so it would be good to know
how to look after them, either if you keep one or should someone send one to
you.
 
Now that he was now considered as an adult, which only Ron and Hermione knew
about, Ron being a bit jealous about, he didn’t need a permission slip to go to
visit to Hogsmeade which was the same day as Halloween. But Dumbledore screwed
him over on this, it would seem that he went to the Minister of Magic and got
it so that until Sirius Black is caught, he couldn’t leave the castle. Because
as the last Lord Potter, he needed to be protected to insure the Potter line.
 
So whilst everyone else who could go to Hogsmeade was there, Harry was having
tea with Professor Lupin. Harry remembered how during that short  time, that
Lupin told him that the reason he didn’t want Harry to face the Boggart was
that Lupin had worried that it would take the shape of Voldemort. Not for the
first time since he entered the Wizarding World that he want to slap someone,
since the end of the last Wizarding War both children and adults were being
pampered when it comes to the name Voldemort. No one would dare say his name,
as they feared that he might suddenly rise from the dead or something. Harry
often wondered how people would react if they knew the truth about the Dark
Lord still being alive. Also, how would they defeat him if they were too scared
to say his name, they would have no luck at all.
 
But back to the Boggart, the truth was at first he was thinking about
Voldemort, but then he thought about how fearfully those awful Dementors were.
As they would make you relive your worst nightmare over again, something no one
should go through. Lupin applaud him, as his main fear was fear itself. Before
he could comment about it, Snape brought Lupin a steaming potion, which Lupin
drank, after which he left.
 
Later that night, Sirius Black breaks into Hogwarts and destroys the Fat Lady
portrait that guards Gryffindor Tower. Which Harry found strange, as everyone
was in the Great Hall for the feast for Halloween. It wasn’t hard to miss
seeing that all of the castle had decorations up for the day, so why attack
when everyone was in the Great Hall, it was another strange thing that didn’t
connect with Sirius Black.
 
Either way, because of this event, the students had to spend the night sleeping
in the Great Hall while the teachers searched the castle. Soon afterwards,
Quidditch moves into full swing, and Gryffindor House plays against Hufflepuff.
Instead of Slytherin as Malfoy was playing the hurt card because what happened
with the Hippogriff. During the game, Harry spies the large black dog, and
seconds later he sees a horde of Dementors. As the Dementors appeared, he heard
the screams of the woman again, but this time he realized it was his mother
begging Voldemort to kill her instead of him. After hearing this he loses
consciousness and falls off his broomstick.
 
After Harry wakes up, he found out that his trusty broomstick had flown into
the Whomping Willow, and been smashed into pieces his fall, and the game itself
had lost. Later, Harry learns from Lupin that the Dementors affect Harry so
much because Harry's past is so horrible. Harry then asks if there’s a way to
protect himself against them, Lupin admits there is, but he wouldn’t be able to
teach Harry how to until after Christmas, which was ok for Harry.
 
During the next Hogsmeade visit, from which Harry is forbidden, Fred and George
Weasley give Harry a map called the Marauder's Map, written by the mysterious
quartet of Moony, Prongs, Wormtail and Padfoot. This map leads him through a
secret passageway into Hogsmeade, where he rejoins Ron and Hermione. Hermione
wanted Harry to give the map to the Headmaster or McGonagall, as it could be
dangerous, but Harry wouldn’t do that, which upset Hermione.
 
Inside the Hogsmeade tavern, Harry overhears Cornelius Fudge discussing Sirius
Black's responsibility for Harry's parents' deaths and Black was his Godfather,
as well as for the death of another Hogwarts student, Peter Pettigrew, who was
blown to bits, leaving only a finger. Harry found this bit of news of Pettigrew
strange, only finding a finger was somewhat confusing. No matter the spell,
Harry couldn’t find a spell that could do such a thing.
 
Back at Hogwarts, Harry learns that Hagrid received a notice saying that
Buckbeak, the Hippogriff who attacked Malfoy, is going to be put on trial, and
Hagrid is inconsolable. The winter holidays roll around. For Christmas, Harry
receives a Firebolt, the most impressive racing broomstick in the world. Which
was useful, as he was planning to get one soon, but school work and personal
training was getting in the way. Much to his and Ron's dismay, Hermione reports
the broomstick to Professor McGonagall, who takes it away out of fear that it
may have been sent (and cursed) by Sirius Black.
 
Harry was a bit upset about this, that Hermione would go behind his back and
not bother talking to him first. He wasn’t like Ron, he would have listened
should she talked to him first. Thinking about it now, years after, he was a
bit of a git towards her afterwards, but he was a thirteen year old boy who
just got the world's best broom, and it was  taken from him without a second
thought before he could use it. So yes he would be upset at his female friend.
 
Now Harry thought about after the holidays of that year, when he started to
work with Professor Lupin to protect himself from Dementors with the Patronus
Charm. During these classes, whilst he had moderately successful over time, he
learned one thing about Lupin was best friends with his parents. Harry was
shocked and angered at this, as for someone saying that they were his parents
best friend and not checking on their son made him angry. And he told his
Professor this, what kind of best friend wouldn’t look in on their best friend
son once in awhile to make sure he was ok. He hoped that should one of his best
friends died and they had kids, he would visit them and make sure they were ok
and help them where he could.
 
And with that he thanked the man for teaching him the Patronus Charm, but other
than classes, they’ll not going see or do with anything with each other. As
Harry was to mad at the man, if Lupin acted like the best friend of his parents
as he said he was, his life wouldn’t be as bad. Which sadden the Professor,who
tried to explain he had his reasons, but when Harry asked Lupin wouldn’t say,
which only made Harry angrier and unless in class wouldn’t say a word to the
man.
 
Soon before the game against Ravenclaw, Harry's broomstick is returned to him,
and as Ron takes it up to the dormitory, he discovers evidence that Scabbers
has been eaten by Crookshanks. Ron is furious at Hermione. Although Harry
didn’t blame the damn cat, as it was in their nature to eat rats and was
shocked it took so long before it happened. Soon afterwards, Gryffindor plays
Ravenclaw in Quidditch. Harry, on his Firebolt, triumphs, winning the game.
Once all the students have gone to bed that night, Sirius Black breaks into
Harry's dormitory and slashes the curtain around Ron's bed.

Several days later, Hagrid, whose classes been have gotten so much better,
invites Harry and Ron over for tea and scolds them for shunning Hermione on
account of Scabbers and the Firebolt. But Harry informed him that he was more
upset about going behind his back than anything else if she admits she was
wrong things would be better, as at the moment she think it was right to go
behind his back and not talk to him first. Ron more than Harry felt slightly
guilty, but not terrible.
 
Soon Harry, under his invisibility cloak, meets Ron during a Hogsmeade trip;
but a track that he played on Malfoy went wrong and had to return sooner than
he hoped. But when he returns, Malfoy was faster as he told Snape who catches
him and confiscates his Marauder's Map. As whilst he had no prove, he thought
the parchment Harry had could prove that Harry was out of the castle when he
shouldn’t be.
 
Lucky Lupin saves Harry from Snape's rage, but afterwards he reprimands him
severely for risking his safety for ‘a bag of magic tricks,’ and keeps the map.
As Harry leaves Lupin's office, he runs into Hermione, who informs him that
Buckbeak's trial date has been set. Ron, Hermione, and Harry are reconciled in
their efforts to help Hagrid. Around this time, Gryffindor had their last game
with Slytherin in a dirty game of Quidditch, but end up winning the Quidditch
Cup.
 
Before long exams rolled around, and and during his last day of exam’s Harry
was walking around the castle before taking his Rune exam when he came face to
face with Professor Trelawney, the fool of Professor for Divination, who give
him a blank look and in a strange voice, predicted the return of one of
Voldemort's servant who would appear before midnight, and would help the Dark
Lord back to power.
 
Thanks to their help, mainly Hermione’s, they were able to help Hagrid help
 could have meeted case, and Buckbeak  was set free, and because of this, and
finally getting some free time, they went to celebrate with Hagrid for a few
hours before curfew. Whilst celebrating, Hermione discovers Scabbers in
Hagrid's milk jug, shocking them and making Ron to give Hermione a real
apologize about how he treated her.
 
About half an hour before curfew, Ron, Harry, Harry and Hermione were leaving
Hagrid's house when a huge black dog that Harry had been seeing a few times
that year, approaches them, pounces on Ron, and drags him under the Whomping
Willow. Harry and Hermione and Crookshanks dash down after them; oddly,
Crookshanks knew of a secret knob to press that would freeze the flailing tree.
 
They move through an underground tunnel and arrive at the Shrieking Shack. They
find that the black dog has turned into Sirius Black and is in a room with Ron.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to disarm Black, and before Harry can kill
Black, avenging his parents' deaths, Professor Lupin enters the room and
disarms him. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are aghast as Lupin and Black exchange a
series of nods and embrace.
 
Once the three students calm down enough to listen, Lupin and Black explain
everything. Lupin is a werewolf who remains tame through a special steaming
potion made for him by Snape. While Lupin was a student at Hogwarts, his best
friends, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew, became animagi
(humans able to take on animal forms) so that they could romp the grounds with
Lupin at the full moon.
 
Here Lupin explains to that him being a werewolf was the reason why he couldn’t
take Harry in as a baby, as there were laws created so that they couldn’t take
care of Wizarding Children. Harry called bullshit here, whilst the law might
have forbid him looking after Wizarding Children, they didn’t stop them from
seeing children. So whilst he could look after him, Lupin could have meet with
him every so often to make sure he was ok.
 
Lupin didn’t know what to say,  even trying to say he was in grieving didn’t
help him, Harry just called him pitiful. So he went on to explain how one night
Snape followed Lupin toward his transformation site in a practical joke set up
by Sirius, and was rescued narrowly by James Potter.
 
At this moment, Snape reveals himself from underneath Harry's dropped
invisibility cloak, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione disarm him, rendering him
unconscious. Lupin and Black then explain that the real betrayer of Harry's
parents was not Black, but Peter Pettigrew, who has been presumed dead but
really hidden all these years disguised as Scabbers.
 
To prove this, Lupin transforms Scabbers into Pettigrew, who squeals and hedges
but ultimately confesses, revealing himself to be Voldemort's servant, and
Black to be innocent. Like with Sirius when he first learnt about everything,
Harry wanted nothing more to kill Pettigrew, but to prove Sirius innocent not
only would they need Sirius, but they would also need Pettigrew alive to make
it easier to prove this.
 
They all travel back to Hogwarts, but at the sight of the full moon, Lupin, who
has forgotten to take his controlling tonic (the steaming liquid), turns into a
werewolf. Sirius Black responds by turning into the large black dog in order to
protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione from Lupin. As Black returns from driving the
werewolf into the woods, a swarm of Dementors approaches, and Black is
paralyzed with fear. To battle this, Harry cast his first corporeal Patronus of
a huge lone wolf that drove the Dementors away. Because of the power used, and
the effects of the Dementors  were having on Harry, he fainted with the rest of
the group.
 
The next thing Harry remembered was waking up in the hospital wing to hear
Snape and Cornelius Fudge discussing the fact that Sirius Black is about to be
given the fatal Dementor's Kiss. Harry and Hermione protest, claiming Black's
innocence, Harry even told the Minister of Magic Sirius Black was under House
Protection of the House of Potter. Unless he wanted to commit political
suicide, and lose his job as Minister of Magic, Sirius Black would have a fair
trial before getting the Dementor's Kiss.
 
Snape tried to tell Fudge that Harry was under a Confundus Charm, but Harry
should his House Ring and reminded the Minister that there are magic on it to
shop such spells as Confundus Charm. Harry also informed Fudge that Snape was
hostile against Black because of what he did to Snape when they were younger,
and since then Snape hated his father, Lupin and Black, and would do anything
to ruin their lives, even framing them for something they hadn’t done.
 
So until Sirius was given a fair trial with Veritaserum, Sirius Black would be
under protection of House Potter. And should anything happens to him, House
Potter would ruin whoever hurts Sirius Black. But if he is found guilty, they
could do whatever to him. The Minister of Magic knew he couldn’t do a thing to
Black whilst he was under protection of House Potter, as if he did, he would
out of office and in Azkaban faster than you could say Merlin. And if Lord
Potter was right about Snape, he might have made a big mistake of his life, as
he could have given a Kiss to an innocent person who could end up becoming a
Lord, it could have been a political suicide move. So he had no option but to
give Sirius Black a fair trial, or have the Boy-Who-Lived making his life hell
and so he promised him to get the trail going as soon as possible. Until the
trail, Sirius Black would be heavily guarded in the holding cells at the
Ministry of Magic.
 
The next day, Harry found out that Professor Lupin was leaving Hogwarts, as
Snape let it slip he was a werewolf. Not that Harry cared much, but he was
going to miss a Professor that knew what he was doing, unlike the last two
years. That was the only reason he was pissed at Snape, for getting rid of a
decent Professor  for defence. But Lupin wasn’t going to fight because of the
previous night's scare, as he was worried about it could happen again, and the
next time could be worse, someone could be killed or worse, become a werewolf.
 
But before the man could leave, Harry got the Marauder's Map back from the man,
seeing that it belonged to his father too, so had every right to have it. Lupin
wasn’t happy that Harry didn’t want to do with him, and Sirius had been giving
him cold looks as to how he had been treating Harry and knew that it would be a
long road before things were better.
 
Harry thought that it was going to be a better summer, seeing that once Sirius
was given a fair trial, he would be free of the Dursleys, but he was wrong. As
Dumbledore informed the young man that when Harry was a baby, he put wards
around the Dursleys Home to protect Harry. These wards were surrounded based
off Lily’s sacrifice to protect him, and so he needed to return to the Dursleys
for at least until his birthday to recharge the wards. Dumbledore explained
that until Harry turned seventeen, these wards would make it so that should
Voldemort return early, he wouldn’t be able to get to him. Not only that, but
only those who knew where he lived could find Harry, not even owls unless it
got Harry’s address on it could find him.
 
As much as Harry hated it, he could see the wisdom behind iti, and after some
thought decided that a short while at the Dursleys was worth it for this
protection. Even if it meant protecting the Dursleys too. But he also knew that
once his birthday came, and should Sirus have his trail by then, he could spend
the rest of the holiday with his Godfather. And so when Hogwarts finished for
the year, Harry remembered leaving the school and returning to the Dursleys,
with a heavy heart. But knowing that as long as things went as he hoped, he
would be spending the rest of the summer with Sirius.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends chapter two of Magical
Fallout, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. And if you did
enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know what you think, but no flames,
as they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are guest reviews. It took longer then
I would have liked as the mood to write was on and off, which as some of you
know can be a bother at most of the time.
 
Now the reason for ending the chapter where I did was that because by the time
I ended the chapter, it would have ended in the twenty thousand word plus area,
 even a thirty thousand word plus. So where I ended it was somewhere I thought
was a good spot, and I’m hoping that the next chapter will finish Harry’s part
of the story for now.
 
Sadly for now, this chapter isn’t beta read, so please keep that in mind when
leaving feedback. And I hope that if someone is willing, I hope one of you will
offer to look over and edit this story for me. I would like someone who not
only check for spelling and grammar, but someone who’ll look at sentence
structure, and willing to make sure the story flows right and make sure I
haven’t missed something that you think it should be there in the first place,
even if it means that to do so, you’ll have to add, remove or/and alter things
about to do so.  
 
Now a few more things, when world ended in the Fallout World, they would lose
the ability to make bullets, as the factories have been closed down or
destroyed. So what I would like to know is how would they make bullets after
the world 'ended?' So what materials would they need to create bullets? PLEASE
give me a list and ideas…
 
Magical_Fallout:_Creating_a_base_on_the_moon,_within_the_Fallout_World:
 
Been talking to someone on Facebook about creating a moonbase, so that they can
have a mining factory to mine Helium-3 for Fusion Core, and they pointed out
one main problem: WATER. Seeing that there is little water on the moon, it
would be difficult. They pointed out that recycling water wouldn’t last
forever, because of how many gallons of water are lost every time it's
recycled. They think that it takes three gallons of wastewater to equal one
gallon of clean. I pointed out after looking it up, that there are very cold
places on the moon that creates ice and I thought that they could use the ice
to get water that way. But the person that I was talking about believes that
this would run out relatively quickly since there's no natural water cycle on
the moon. Another way to get water someone told me is Asteroid Mining, so I
would like ideas that people would need to research to get water from it.
 
But they did suggested that they could find a way to capture a comet, seeing
that comets are mostly chunks of ice. But they pointed out that with the level
of technology in the Fallout World, it would be difficult to do so. So I would
like to ask, what would you think we would need to capture a comet and mine it?
 
Now onto some smaller problems, oxygen and transportation: for oxygen, I
already got that covered, I was thinking about having hydroponic factories. But
as the person that I was talking to pointed out, this factory could only be
there for oxygen and oxygen only, as using them for food as well would damage
oxygen production. So another factory would be needed for food.
 
Transportation: to get from to Point A to Point B, I would need some kind of
fossil fuels, anything that produces Carbon Dioxide for gas to power the
vehicles. Although seeing that they can use nuclear power, I think they could
use that to power the vehicles. And seeing that the main reason for the
moonbase is to mine Helium-3 do they can create Fusion Cores, I can see them
having some spares for the vehicles.
 
Now the question is this, other than room, food, water and oxygen, what else
would I need to set up this moonbase? Please let me know, as any and all ideas
will be welcomed. Been looking at some videos, and got a few ideas like using
human waste for farming and such.
 
Now you might be wondering why I want a moon base, and the reason is this:
whilst looking up why there was a mural in Fallout 4 of a battle on the moon
where the Sea of Tranquility, I came across the theory of Helium-3. In Fallout
4 they created Fusion Cores, and from what I could find they use Helium-3 to
create them. The problem was where to find a lot of it, and so here comes the
theory for the battle on Sea of Tranquility, American fought over it and won
and so create a base to mine Helium-3.
 
Another idea someone give me to look at is an environmental control building.
As all the air in the base is useless if they're still freezing their bollocks
off because it's moon-temperature inside the base instead of Earth-norm.
Another is energy supply, they thought I should use solar panels, which to
start off with would be useful.
 
Another thing someone pointed out to me is that I would need a tech base that
can support the moonbase be be a requirement, whether that is regular shipments
from Earth or making things themselves by shipping in the industry and workers
and organising for raw materials etc. This is something I thought of already,
they would build most of the power cores here on the moon, and ship them to
Earth, this way only those the American want to use them can have the power
core.
 
So you know, in this Fallout Universe, magic is known by the Enclave and by
certain people, and that tech will be a bit more advanced, but limited to the
public. So I would like to ask if you can think of anything else to help with
creating this moonbase, please let me know, and please when you thinking about
ideas is that there’s magic in this world, so please consider this when you
think about this.
 
Other_ideas:
 
Seeing that my Fallout story is about Fallout Universe and Harry Potter
Universe, I would like ideas and thoughts as to how magic could interact with
the Fallout Universe. I would like to know what magical creatures could be
mutated from the nukes or by the Forced Evolution Virus, I have three creatures
in mind, dragons, dementors and thestrals.
 
The dragons and dementors are going to explain why in my story why the
population hadn’t repopulated so fast where you would thought it would. These
creatures are going to be dangerous and would make it hard to do so, it’ll also
explain why in some area people are gathered in one place: for safety. The
thestrals well be used to pull the traders caravans, as I got a few ideas here
and thestrals well be useful here.
 
But I would like a few more ideas as to what magical creatures could be mutated
from the nukes or by the Forced Evolution Virus, please let me know.
 
Fallout Question: I looked it up on the net for the estimated population for
the United States for 2077 and it says it would be about 427,104,366, so I was
wondering how many dead in the two hours of the Great War. I would like a
realistic number, as I think there would be more deaths over the next week and
years with thrust, radioactive poison and raiders and such. I was thinking
between five to ten million in the United States alone would have survived when
the Great War ended, but cut down a lot over the next year or so.
 
Lastly I would like ideas as to how people would have reacted right after the
Great War, what do you think would have happened I got a few ideas in mind, but
I would like your thoughts about this. I know that they couldn’t live in the
main cities any more at least for another twenty odd years later.

31st of July 1998 - The Dursley’s Household:
 
With Vernon still not there, Harry decided to have a look around his old prison
as he called it. It was never his home, to him a home was where there was love
and caring for everyone, and for him, there was none to be found. As Harry
looked round, many memories came forth, and hardly any of them were good. As he
looked under the stairs, he remembered memories of beatings, being forced to be
under there with no food or water for a few days, as he got blamed for
something Dudley had done or something his cousin blamed him for when in
reality he didn’t do a thing. He was also sent under the stairs if he didn’t do
something fast enough, didn’t do something that they agreed with, or if they
were just angered at his mere presence - which was most of the time. Although
the Dursley’s had four bedrooms, he was forced to live under the stairs, or at
least that was the case until shortly before he was eleven.
 
As Harry looked around the house, he stayed as far as he could from his aunt’s
and uncle’s room. As there was some things he didn’t want to remember. As a
child, he was forced to clean their room, and clean things no child should
clean. Before long, Harry came across his old room, which used to be Dudley’s
second bedroom, where Dudley kept all the things he no longer used, or he
broke. Now as Harry entered his old bedroom, he discovered it was turned into a
study.
 
Harry sat in the chair that was inside, and thought back to when he got this
room. He only got the room because the Dursley’s feared someone was watching
them after Harry was getting letters addressed to him under the stairs, and so
they decided to give them Dudley’s second bedroom. And suspiciously enough, the
next lot of letters were addressed to the new bedroom, and seemingly proved
that they were being watching him.
 
It wasn’t until now that Harry became angry, as he wasn’t sure if Dumbledore
and ‘ knew how he was living and have done nothing about it. The young man
wondered if they did know, why didn’t they do anything about it? Not that it
mattered much now.
 
Until the end of Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, when he wasn’t training, he
was in his room staying away from the Dursley’s. A few weeks after leaving
Hogwarts for the summer, the only time he would stay at the Dursley’s at night
is when he needed to sleep, so that the wards he placed around the house would
hold.
 
Two weeks after starting his holiday, Harry’s Godfather Sirius Black finally
spent a few days on trial where he was found innocent of a crime he didn’t
commit. Because of all of the things he went through in Azkaban, the healers
were forced to make sure he was mentally fit as well as physically fit. The
first was a normal Healer, to rebuild his physical health after spending so
many years in Azkaban. In addition to seeing a normal healer, Sirius was
required see a mental health specialist twice a week for a year.
 
Sirius wasn’t a big fan of this, as he thought he was fine, but he was told
that if he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be allowed to see Harry. And this was
something Sirius didn’t want to happen, so he reluctantly went to see the
Healers when he had to, so he would be able to spend time with his Godson.
 
Harry was spending all of his time with his Godfather whenever he wasn’t seeing
a healer. Sirius was shocked and angry at how his Godson was treated all these
years, he was even more astonished as to what Harry was doing the last few
years, he had been learning to street fight and doing exercises to make himself
stronger. When Sirius asked why, Harry told him, “I want to be able to survive
if Voldemort returns since no one else seemed to be willing to help me.”
 
When Sirius heard the full story about Harry’s first two years, and how his
Godson fought against the Dark Lord who tried to kill him as a infant, Sirius
was enraged. He couldn’t believe that Albus Dumbledore wasn’t willing to help
his Godson to survive, when in two years he faced the Dark Lord when he
possessed a Professor in the first year, and in the second year when he was
some sort of teenage memory that was in a diary. He thought that after these
two times, the Headmaster would help Harry to prepare for when Voldemort would
return.
 
Sirius could understand why Albus would want a normal childhood for his Godson,
but the problem was that Harry wasn’t a normal child: he had a god damn Dark
Lord wanting to kill him. And because of this, Sirius wanted to train his
Godson to be able to survive and to defeat the Dark Lord should he return. Sure
Harry couldn’t train all the time, as the muggle saying goes: ‘All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy.’ And from what he had heard from Harry, his Godson
was putting enough time aside for fun and be with his friends. So wanting his
Godson to live and to be able to have a family of his own, he begun to help
train Harry.
 
And so other than street fighting and doing exercises, over the summer, Harry
was learning to use a sword and some advanced magic now that he was now
considered as an adult, thanks to becoming Lord Potter. Although when Harry
learned about the sword training, he asked why he should. Sirius explained that
most Pureblood families were taught how to use a blade, as even though not many
use them now a days, it was tradition and Sirius thought it could be useful.
Apart for sounding interesting to learn, being another skill that could defeat
Voldemort was more enough for Harry to agree to learn about sword training.
 
Sirius also taught Harry about Occlumency, a way to protect one’s mind from
those who could read it, and help Harry get a peaceful night’s sleep. As at the
start of the summer, Harry was having nightmares about Peter and Voldemort
wanting to kill him, so Sirius began to teach Harry Occlumency. By the end of
the summer Harry wasn’t getting any more nightmares, and he found himself able
to remember things better, and having a clearer mind.
 
Over the summer, when they weren’t training, they were talking about Harry’s
parents, what they were like and things like that. Harry enjoyed the talks,
learning about his parents, but he found something strange. When he was near
the Dementors, he thought that he heard his mother’s screams to kill her and
not him, but yet Sirius told Harry that he wasn’t sure how that was possible.
About a month before Voldemort attacked him and his father, his mother
disappeared and no one knew what happened. They had no idea what happened, she
wasn’t even kidnapped by Death Eaters, she just disappeared one day.
 
Sirius who taught Harry about girls, and things would help him to get a girl,
as he noticed how his Godson and his best friend Hermione Granger were acting
to each other over the last year. But Sirius knew that Harry had no idea how to
handle this, so as his Godfather, Sirius was going to help him. Just say that
by the end of the summer, Harry learnt how to control himself from getting a
red face.
 
During the months, as much as he hated it, Lupin was the one that was teaching
him defensive magic, all sorts that could help him out in the future. Sirius
understood Harry’s anger, he too was angry at Lupin, as he should have checked
on Harry. But Lupin was also his only remaining friend from the old days,
before war where things went shit, so wanted to save what he could from the old
days and try to get Harry to get along with Lupin, as it was something his
father would have wanted. It was hard as Harry also pointed out that his father
would also would want his friends to look out for his son, something Lupin
failed to do over and over again.
 
Another thing that happened during the summer was that they talked about how
they could kill Voldemort. So far they knew he was staying alive somehow, and
they needed to find out what he did and reverse it somehow. During one of the
talks, the Black’s crazy House-Elf called Kreacher, who had been nothing but
rude to them, told them about a Locket that his former master Regulus Black
told him to destroy, as it was the key in defeating the Dark Lord. Here the
House-Elf informed them about Regulus betraying the Dark Lord, and wanting the
Locket destroyed.
 
Sirius cried as he heard this, thinking that his brother died as a Death Eater
and Voldemort killed him for no reason, like he did with most Death Eaters. But
now he knew he died as a hero, trying to redeem himself, and getting rid of the
Dark Lord. Harry promised Kreacher that as soon as they learned what the Locket
was and how to destroy it, they would do so, and the House-Elf could be the one
to do so if possible, so fulfilling his former Master’s dying wish. This one
statement got Kreacher’s undying loyalty towards Harry.
 
Training and talking to Sirius wasn’t the only thing that Harry did over the
summer, he also visited the Weasleys. But Harry didn’t inform them what he was
doing, as if they did, they would get an earful from Molly Weasley, who was an
overprotective and overbearing so and so. All they were told was that Harry and
Sirius was reconnecting, and learning about Harry’s parents. And at the end of
the month, Sirius brought a private box so that they could watch the World
Quidditch Cup, so that they wouldn’t have to be bothered by other fans. This
also allowed Harry to spend time with Hermione, who had not long returned from
a holiday with her parents.
 
The match lasted for a few hours, where Ireland won, but Bulgaria’s Seeker,
Viktor Krum, caught the Snitch. During the night though, there was a Death
Eater attack, something that hadn’t happened since after the last Magical Civil
War. Lucky Harry had turned to Sirius’s home, saying they would see the
Weasleys the next day. Because of this, during the nights after visiting the
Weasley’s, Harry was training even harder, as Harry and Sirius feared that the
Death Eater attack was just a sign of what’s to come.
 
Once Harry and his friends returned to Hogwarts, they found out about the
Triwizard Tournament… and whilst the rest of the school was interested in this,
Harry was a bit worried. Whilst he would like nothing more but to watch it, and
have a normal year, he remembered Sirius say he wasn’t normal. He wasn’t being
mean, but with Voldemort out there wanting dead, this could be a good chance
for him to get one of his men to enter the Tournament to kill him without being
suspicious that they had anything to do with it. So whilst he had no plans on
entering the Tournament, he was going to prepare just in case he finds himself
in the Tournament somehow.
 
Over the first few months things seemed to be fine, he was spending time with
his friends, doing well in class. And the new Defense Professor, Mad Eye Moody,
was interesting, he knew his stuff. Although, Harry found it strange that the
man would cast the Imperius Curse on the students though. But from what he
heard about the man, it wasn’t all that surprising that he did it.
 
Naturally since he started Hogwarts, Halloween was the day that things went
south for him, as day before, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students arrived at
Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. But on Halloween three names came out of
the Goblet of Fire, that meant to be the Champions: from Durmstrang it was
Viktor Krum, followed by Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons lastly, the Goblet
selected Cedric Diggory as the Hogwarts Champion. But then his own name came
out of the damn Goblet, making him the fourth Champion. No one knew how it
happened, but he was forced to take part in the Tournament, or lose his magic.
 
Over the following months, no one other than the Weasley Twins, who tried to
get past themselves and failed, and knew if they couldn’t get past Dumbledore’s
protections around the Goblet, that he couldn’t do it. Hermione also believed
him that he didn’t put his name into the Goblet. The one person who he thought
other than Hermione who would believe him was Ron, but yet he, he was being
jealous ass, thinking that like the rest of the school that he cheated somehow.
 
That’s the problem, because of Sirius Black was his Godfather, and he came from
a Dark Family, he taught Harry a few spells to get past an Age Line and make
the Goblet pick his name. Which Harry thought was foolish, as until the night
before he didn’t know about the Goblet or the Age Line, so how could he learn
how to get pass them when he didn’t have time to learn how to..
 
Over the next few months, badges appeared with Support Cedric Diggory/Potter
Stinks, which nearly everyone wore, as they thought that Harry cheated.
Hermione tried to make Harry forgive Ron, saying that he was only being jealous
and didn’t mean it. Harry had to admit he had thought about it, but he wasn’t
going to do so any time soon until he was ready, but that was until he talked
to Sirius about what he should do. And it didn’t help that Rita Skeeter wrote
lies about him in the Daily Prophet.
 
Sirius only replied with it was up to him, and asked him that before he decides
one way or another, to think about something: well this be a one time deal, or
do he think that some time down the road Ron will react the same again. Sirius
told Harry that he and his father had such a friend before, Peter Pettigrew,
and look how that turned out. Sirius admits that this might not happen with
Ron, but Harry should think carefully about what to do before doing anything,
and don’t forgive Ron because it was suspected of him, or others want it to
happen do so.
 
Harry had to think about it, and he could see Sirius was right, he didn’t know
if this was going to happen again. But from what he knew of his friend so far,
he suspected it would. He hated how his brothers got everything, and was
jealous of them, but he didn’t do any work to get whatever he wanted from life
but his brothers did. And Harry saw the jealous looks that Ron give him from
time to time, but until now never reacted to them. So Harry decided that unless
Ron give him a serious and meaningful apology, Harry wasn’t going to forgive
him. Even Hermione had to agree to this, as she too could see Sirius’s
reasoning too.
 
Over the weeks Harry and Hermione became closer, and they become a couple,
which didn’t go over well with Ron. It was the last straw for him, as he
thought that Hermione meant to be his, he went on to call her a Mudblood. This
ended any chance of Harry or Hermione forgiving him and their friendship ended
there for good. Soon the bitch Skeeter was bad mouthing Hermione in the papers,
but because of how the Magical World was, there wasn’t much they could do. So
they had to wait and see what they could do about the bitch.
 
Not long after ending his friendship with Ron, he found out about what the
First Task was for the Tournament: damn dragons. Moody found out he knew, and
suggested he played to his strengths, and the only strength Harry can think of
was flying, and that was a bad idea. It was too risky, even if he was able to
summon it, he might be good at flying, but dragons were one of the mastersof
flying and doing so could be very dangerous. So he had to find another way to
get past the dragon - as he didn’t suspect them to defeat one by themselves.
 
By the time the First Task came about, Harry had a few ideas as to what to do
and was ready as he ever could be. When he got to the tent there the Champions
were, they found out that they had to pick a dragon from a bag which had a
small moving statue of a dragon that they had to face, with a number on it as
to the order they were facing them. And they task was to get a Golden Egg from
many of the real ones, without damaging the real eggs.
 
Fleur Delacour got the Welsh Green dragon, and the number one on it showing
that she would be first to face the dragons. The second person to face a dragon
would be Viktor Krum, where he would be facing a Chinese Fireball dragon, third
would be Cedric Diggory, who would be facing a Swedish Short-Snout dragon. And
finally, the last person facing the dragons would be him, who would be facing
the most dangerous of dragons, the Hungarian Horntail dragon.
 
Harry had to laugh as he remembered the moment he picked that dragon, as until
then he had no real idea what he was going to do. But when the cannon sounded
for the first task to start, he flinched at the sudden noise. His movement
caused the small dragon in his hand, to lash out with its tail and stab him in
the palm. Harry thought the creature was infernal and hoped that the real one
wasn’t as bad, but as he thought of it he came up with a plan to face the real
one and pocketed the dragon.
 
When it was his time to face the dragon, he found that the model dragon didn’t
do the real one any justice, as it deadlier and mean looking then the model
one. Either way though he had a task to do, and so Harry hurled the model
dragon to the far side of the arena, where he careful aim before enlarging the
model dragon. And to make things easier for the model dragon, Harry blinded the
real one and allow the two to fight each other.
 
Whilst the model dragon didn’t last long against a real dragon, it give Harry
the time to sneak carefully closer to the Dragon’s Nest and get get the Golden
Egg he meant to get. He then got out of there before the real dragon notice
him, but his luck wasn’t with him. Just as he was about to make the exit, he
was caught by the Hungarian Horntail’s tail knocking him into the exit. He was
lucky that it wasn’t at full force, weaken against the fight with the fake
dragon, or Harry thought he would be dead, instead of having a broken leg. Out
of it all he scored forty-two points of fifty, something Harry was pleased
about. He suspected that points were taken off because he was hurt. (The idea
for the first task was from A Cadmean Victory by DarknessEnthroned.)
 
Harry knew he did good that day, as the Durmstrang headmaster, Karkaroff, give
the rest of the Champions other his own a very low score. Karkaroff give Krum a
nine, even though the teenager got most of his eggs broken, something he had to
avoid at all cost, and so was give a low score. From the end of the task, Fleur
was first at forty-five points, Harry was second at forty-two, Cedric was third
at forty and at last Viktor, who got thirty-eight points.
 
It wasn’t until years later and seating in his old room that he realized that
he got lower points not because he had broken a leg, although it might be the
case for some of the judges, but he brought the model dragon in with him and
not summon it. He broke his leg after finishing his task, and the rule was wand
only to be brought with him. If he left the model dragon in the tent and then
summon it, he might have gotten full marks.
 
Either way, as Harry thought back to his fourth year, he remembered how people
seemed to try and get closer to him again. Whilst they didn’t admit they were
in the wrong, they tried to get closer to Harry again after the First Task, for
whatever reason. But unless they apologized to him, Harry wasn’t going to
forgive them, even if they did he wouldn’t forget what they did.
 
As time passed Skeeter wrote more lies about him in the Daily Prophet, with
comments from students that hated him, or didn’t get along with, one of them
being Ron Weasley. It took every that Harry had not to hex the ass into the
next century.
 
Either way, he had better things to deal with, the first was the Yule Ball,
which he invited Hermione to, and had a great time with. And then after the
Winter Holiday, Harry had to figure out what the screaming from the egg meant.
It didn’t take long though, and he didn’t like it when he did. He had to rescue
someone from the death of the deep black lake. Although Harry knew that
Dumbledore wouldn’t risk the lives of whoever is sent down in the lake, it
didn’t mean that someone wouldn’t take the opportunity to do something to hurt
him or Hermione.
 
So Harry had to figure out how to get to the bottom of the lake and back within
an hour. He already knew how to breath under the water for an hour, and it was
thanks to him taking Rune, if he didn’t he would be fucked. His idea was to
enchant a helmet to allow him to breath underwater for an hour and a half, the
extra half an hour was in case something should go wrong. He would have to find
a way to get to the bottom of the lake faster though.
 
Then in late February, the Second Task came around, and as Harry feared
Hermione was taken hostage under the lake. Harry was able to get to the lake
fast by using some runes on his shoes to push him through the water, he would
have been first if it wasn’t for seeing a young girl in the water, who he
thought was Fleur Delacour’s sister. Whilst she might be protected so she could
breath underwater, it didn’t mean there would be other risk like the cold
water, so whilst he didn’t like Fleur much with the way she treated him, Harry
would protect the innocent no matter what.
 
When the hour was almost up, Harry knew that he had no option but to act, and
so give the merpeople a warning that if they got in the way he would attack.
This seemed to do it as he he got the girl and got him, Hermione and the young
girl to the surface. Where he found that the girl was named Gabrielle, as her
sister thanked him for saving her as she explained what happened in the lake.
The scores came, and although Harry got in last place, because he stayed to
save another, most of the judges wanted to give full marks, but Karkaroff was
against this and so give him forty-five points, Cedric scored forty-seven
points, Viktor earned forty points, and Fleur came last with twenty-five
points.
 
Because of this Harry and Cedric tied first place at eighty-seven points, and
in second place was Viktor who got seventy-eight points and in last places was
Fleur at sixty-nine points.
 
As the months passed, other than a few articles within the Daily Prophet by
Rita, things seemed to calm down for Harry. As time passed, Harry and the other
Champions learned that the final Task was a huge maze, that they had to find
the centre where the Cup would be. So with that in mind, Harry begun to train
for whatever he might face, he even trained with his swords for this task too,
as they were magical and would allow him to cut through things with ease.
 
The only thing of interest that happened after that, was that Percy Weasley who
was taking over for Barty Crouch for the last few months, finally revealed that
his boss had disappeared, and no one knew what happened to him. This put him in
some hot water at work, but nothing too bad.
 
Then on the twenty-fourth of June, the Final Task of the Tournament had finally
arrived. Before the Final Task begun, the Champion’s family arrived at Hogwarts
to visit them, for Harry that was Sirius Black and his displeasure, Remus Lupin
was with Sirius. But not wanting others know what he truly felt about the
werewolf, Harry acted as nothing was wrong.
 
Later on the Final Task begun, where things got interesting, he first found
Fleur Stunned, and so had to flare up red sparks to show that Fleur needed
help. Next he found Viktor under an Imperius Curse, who was attacking Cedric
with the Cruciatus Curse. After a show while later, both Cedric and Harry found
themselves in the centre, and it was a race to the Cup, where both of them
grabbed at the same time. This seemed to be a bad idea though, as the Cup was
in fact a Portkey and sent them to a graveyard, where Peter Pettigrew killed
Cedric before either of them knew what was going on, when someone said, “Kill
the spare.”
 
Things only got worse from there, as Peter use his own hand, the bones of
Voldemort’s father and blood from Harry to resurrect Voldemort. After his
unholy rebirth, Voldemort pressed a long bony finger on Pettigrew’s Dark Mark,
calling his Death Eaters to him for the first time in fourteen years.
 
After they arrived, Voldemort confronted several of the Death Eaters for not
trying to find him during his absence, such as Lucius Malfoy, Crabbe Snr, Goyle
Snr, Nott Snr, Avery, and Walden Macnair. They all claimed to still be loyal to
him, though he uncovered these hasty lies with ease. Voldemort also swore
vengeance on those who did not respond to his summons, such as Igor Karkaroff.
But would reward those who were loyal, and those who have helped him. To prove
his point, the Dark Lord proceeded to construct a silver hand to replace the
one Pettigrew lost, in reward for his work.
 
Harry remembered how after talking to his Death Eaters, Dark Lord then turned
to him and begun remarking upon how he had survived his Killing Curse thirteen
years ago and how, with his blood in his body, he could now touch him. He used
the Cruciatus Curse on Harry briefly and then demanded that he duel him. He
used the Imperius Curse on him briefly to force him to bow, which Harry was
able to resist.
 
The duel started with Voldemort casting the Killing Curse, while Harry cast the
Disarming Charm. By some surprise, when the spells hit, the spirits of those
who were killed by Voldemort’s wand begun to come forth, first was Cedric, who
ask to take his body back and apologized how he treated him. And from there a
few others until his father appeared, but not his mother, just proving more
that Sirius was true about his mother not being their when Voldemort attacked
that night. His father told him that he was proud of him, and ask him to search
for his mother. When the spells parted, Harry ran to Cedric’s body and summoned
the Cap and they were taken away
 
Harry remembered the chaos that happened when he returned, no one wanted to
admit the truth that Voldemort had returned. But with the chaos that was going
on, Mad Eye Moody usher Harry away from the panicking crowd. Once he got to
Moody’s classroom, he interrogate Harry about Voldemort’s return. Here for some
strange reason, Moody wanted to kill him, but Albus Dumbledore and several
other members of the Hogwarts staff arrived to stop him. Not long after, it was
found that Moody wasn’t Moody, but someone under the Polyjuice Potion.
 
It was revealed that it was Barty Crouch’s son, Barty Crouch Jr, who was a
Death Eater and meant to have dead years ago. Under the influence of Snape’s
Veritaserum, Crouch confessed everything, putting Harry’s name into the Goblet
of Fire, helping where he can and putting Viktor under an Imperius Curse. But
before he could testify before the Wizengamot, however, the fool, Minister for
Magic Cornelius Fudge, arrived with a Dementor, which performed the Dementor’s
Kiss on him within the hour. The idiot wouldn’t even listen to Harry, about
what happened, instead he give Harry his winnings and told more or less to run
along.
 
Afterwards, Dumbledore that he wasn’t sure about Lily, as he did find a body
that looked like Lily, even though she was badly scared, so he wasn’t sure why
she didn’t appear with his father or someone else with him. The Headmaster
explained, when Harry asked how that was possible, it was because his and
Voldemort’s wands were brothers and thus created a rare effect known as Priori
Incantatem when two brother wands conflicted with each other. And when this
happens, a battle of wills begin to see who wins, and this Harry’s wand (the
dominate) was able to force Voldemort’s wand (the submissive) to regurgitate
its past spells, Voldemort’s murder victims emerged in spirit form.
 
Harry was still angry to this day when he remembered what his former Headmaster
told him next, he told Harry to stop his training, and live a normal childhood.
As he only recently learnt that Harry was training to do so, and what his
training entitled, something the Headmaster wasn’t happy about. He would have
said something sooner, but with the Tournament going on, he didn’t say anything
so Harry could live through it. But now that the Tournament is over, the old
man had the audacity to tell Harry to stop training and leave it to the adults
to deal with Voldemort.
 
Harry was mad, one at Lupin, as other than Sirius Black, Lupin was the only
person knew about his full training. Not even his friends knew fully what he
was doing or way, to him he was practicing to get better, and to get stronger,
not that he was doing to defeat Voldemort. And Harry didn’t tell them as he
didn’t want them to worry about him, and that he didn’t want to risk them
telling the Headmaster either. But to have Lupin to tell on him, Harry was more
than upset, he felt betrayed.
 
But Harry flat out told his Headmaster that he had no plans to stop training,
not now that Voldemort was really back now. The damn Dark Lord could come after
at any point to finish him off, and when the time comes, he wanted to be ready.
And whilst it didn’t bother him one way or another, Harry asked once again why
the Dark Lord was after him. But once again the Headmaster wouldn’t tell,
saying that Harry wasn’t ready for such information. And with that Harry left
the office angrily, leaving before he done or said something he might have
regretted.
 
Harry found out that Hermione learnt Rita was an illegal Animagus, which
Hermione blackmail her to stop writing bad things about Harry. Which she was
forced to do so, as if anyone found out Rita would be in a lot of trouble.
 
Over the summer Harry continued with his training, but without the help of
Lupin. When Sirius found out what his friend done, he too was unhappy about him
going to their former Headmaster. As they knew that should he learn about what
Harry was doing, they would try and stop the boy from training. This was
something Lupin was seem to be ok with, as he too thought that Harry should
enjoy his childhood, having fun and spending time with his friends, not worry
about training to defeat a Dark Lord. He only agreed to teach Harry over the
summer because of Sirius asking him to.
 
Harry was upset to put a strain between Sirius and Lupin, but he wasn’t unhappy
about not seeing the man again. Only if that was the case.
 
You see over the summer, Harry would see him often, as Sirius opened his home
to Dumbledore, as it was one of the few places in England thanks to the wards
around the house, that was safe for their needs. Whilst Hogwarts had great
wards, because of the nature of the place, anyone could walk in at any time.
But with the Black Wards, you would have to be invited and then keyed into the
wards if you were staying for a while.
 
You see Dumbledore had restarted his old group that meant to fight against
Voldemort the last time, the Order of the Phoenix. Sirius informed Harry that
his parents used to be part of the group before they went into hiding with
them. From what Harry learnt about the group, he found them useless, they
mainly were gathering information, and normally using it too late. Many lives
were lost because Dumbledore didn’t use the information that that gained
sooner, as he wanted to risk lives as little as possible, or risk Death Eater’s
lives as little as possible.
 
As the old Headmaster believed that they could be redeemed after the war, and
so shouldn’t be killed at all, even if innocent and the Orders lives were lost.
He seemed to care more about Death Eater’s lives over everyone else’s.
Something Sirius agreed with Harry, and so the young man asked why allow them
in the house. Sirius told him as the saying goes, ‘keep your friends close, and
your enemies closer,’ and whilst the Order wasn’t their enemy, most of them
won’t friends either. So it would be for the best to keep them close, and keep
an eye on them, so that they knew what they were up to. If they didn’t, they
would never know what was going on.
 
The first Order meeting, Harry forced himself into the meeting, wanting to
learn what they knew and doing. And whilst there was a few who was against
this, Harry point out that in the eye of the law he was considered as an adult,
and right to decide what to do with his own life. Not only that, but out of
them all he had more right to know what was going, as out of them all, he was
the one who had a Dark Lord trying to kill him.
 
Harry remembered Snape calling him arrogant, thinking that he had no right to
know anything. Harry just laughed at that, and pointed out once again that he
had You-Know-Who after him, and he had faced him more times than any of them
there apart for Dumbledore and Moody - he then he told them the times he had
faced the Dark Lord. The Headmaster tried to stop him, as he didn’t seem to
want him to inform about his time facing the Dark Lord for some reason, but
Harry didn’t listen to him and told his story either way. A few people, like
Snape and Mrs. Weasley didn’t like it that Harry wouldn’t listen to the
Headmaster, but the rest was interested in hearing the Boy-Who-Lived story.
 
Harry found it strange that when he got to his second year when he faced the
memory form of the Dark Lord, the Headmaster tried even harder to stop him from
going on. It was like that he didn’t want what happened in the Chamber to be
told, but as he told the story, Bill Weasley, the eldest of the Weasley
siblings and a Curse Breaker for Gringotts, seemed to have a look of
realization as to what the diary was. He didn’t tell them about his fourth
year, as they already knew about it. Harry also explained that he didn’t want
to go on missions or the like, but wanted to keep informed so that he knew what
was going on.
 
He understand he couldn’t know everything, but if it was connected to him in
anyway that could lead him making mistakes, or lead into a trap. This even Mad
Eye Moody could agree on, keep on the sensitive info to themselves, unless it
could keep Harry safe. There was a disagreement by a few Snape, because he
thought that Potter was arrogant, and was throwing a fit to get his own needs,
just like his father. But others like Dumbledore, Lupin, and Mrs. Weasley,
thought he should stay out of such things, and have a childhood and live the
fighting to the adults. To the rest, like Sirius, his cousin Tonks and Mad Eye
Moody, agreed that Harry should know what was going on, and keep sensitive from
him unless it connected to Harry’s safety.
 
Dumbledore tried one last card to stop Harry joining the Order, and that was
Harry had to learn Occlumency before he could join. But Sirius knocked that one
down saying that apart for a few none of the rest of the Order knew it, and so
unless he was going to kick the rest of the Order out, it didn’t matter if
Harry knew Occlumency or not. But as the case was, Harry knew it and was decent
enough to detect anyone reading his mind, and hex them before learning anything
important. It was only matter of time before he would be able to kick them out
of his mind.
 
In the end it was taken to the vote, and by a bare miraging, Harry was allowed
within the meetings, and any sensitive info would be kept to the end of the
meeting. And should any of the sensitive is connected to Harry, they would
inform him later on. And so Harry seat in the first meeting of the Order of the
Phoenix. When Harry asked about their plans to deal with the Death Eaters, to
stop them from hurting anyone, he was unhappy with the answer.
 
Moody explained that as much as he would like to take down the Death Eaters,
but until they openly reveal themselves, they can’t do much. As if they did,
they would be found guilty of attacking ‘innocent’citizens, so they could do
nothing. All they could do was stop any attacks that they can, and slow the
Death Eaters down when they can. As much as Harry hated the thought, he could
see Moody’s point with people like the Malfoys around, it would be hard to do
much until Death Eaters reveal themselves openly.
 
When Harry asked about when they finally do reveal themselves, what was the
plan for them then? Harry wasn’t too happy about that answer either. Dumbledore
said they would stun them, and give them the chance to redeem themselves, and
their would be no killing at all, no matter what. This was something only a few
people was against, Harry, Sirius and Mad Eye were one of the few.
 
They believed that if possible to capture and send them to Azkaban, and spend
their time there, depending on how big their crimes were. But if there was a
fight where their life was at risk and the Death Eaters won’t surrender, they
should be allowed to kill them. But when Harry brought it up, many was upset
about the idea, and that Dumbledore said they would never do that, as he didn’t
want to step down to the Death Eater’s level and kill people. At this point
Harry didn’t say more about it in the meetings, as he knew that no one other
than a few would agree with it. But that didn’t mean Harry wouldn’t bring it up
again when the time was right.
 
Harry soon learned that the joining the Order meetings were for nothing, all
they did was bitch and moan things. Although they did send people to the
werewolves, vampires, giants and other so called Dark Creatures, to try and get
them on their side instead of Voldemort’s. And when they learned about attacks,
instead of doing something about them, they vote and plan, which sometimes
would take too long and the attacks happens anyway. Moody told him that as much
as he hated Snape, and how the man don’t always give them useful info, they
couldn’t act on all of the useful information or risk Snape place as a spy.
Sure neither Moody Sirius and Harry was sure what side Snape really was on, but
like it or not, Harry could admit that they had no real other option but to
trust the man for now.
 
As for the sensitive information that they might have, Harry had got this
feeling that they might be keeping something from him. As when they got to the
sensitive side of things of the meeting, they threw him and Sirius out. It was
like they didn’t want them to know something, and Harry thought it was about
him, and they were worried that should Sirius know, he would tell him about it.
But why not tell Harry about it, he didn’t know, but there was some sort of
protection detail, some Harry knew nothing about. Harry just hoped this would
bait him in the ass later on.
 
Sure some of the teens won’t happy that Harry was allowed to be in the Order
meetings but they could not, but Harry put that to rest quickly. As he told
them that all they had to do to join at a young age, was to have a Dark Lord
gunning for them, wanting them dead and then they could join early. As much as
they wanted to join, they didn’t want a Dark Lord after them either so they
didn’t say anything else about it. But Ron would keep sending his former friend
jealous looks, believing once again that Harry was getting everything he
wanted, but never once thought about what it cost Harry to get these things nor
that Harry didn’t want it either.
 
Although joining the Order Meeting wasn’t all of a bad thing, as he meet Bill
Weasley, who unlike most of his family, didn’t trust Dumbledore. And when Harry
asked Bill what he thought was diary, Bill was unsure if he should say
something about this to someone so young. But Harry said that he and Sirius
might have found something like the diary, and wanted to find a way to destroy
it.
 
Upon hearing this, Bill wanted to see this item, and if it was the same as the
diary, he would tell Harry. After looking at the locket, Bill was shakened and
admitted that the locket and the diary were the same thing, a Horcrux. Bill
explained to Harry that a Horcrux was a soul jar, a powerful ritual that could
prevent a person soul from living the living realm, and to create one you
needed to kill someone in cold blood. And was very hard to destroy, as it
needed either a very power magic or Basilisk Venom coated weapon - which he
could get hold of.
 
As promised though, Harry allowed Kreacher to destroy the locket, who seemed to
become a better House-Elf. Instead of insulting everyone all the time, he keeps
the insults to himself unless they insult him or the House of Black.
 
Harry told Bill his fears that Voldemort if he created two Horcruxes, he might
have created more and if his past actions were any intercession, he allowed a
few of his Death Eaters to help him in one way or another. And he would want
Bill to ask the Goblins at Gringotts to search the convicted Death Eater’s
Vaults, as it could be highly possible that one of Horcruxes could be in one of
their vaults.
 
This horrified Bill at the thought, it a Horcrux was a class S-Class Dark item,
one of the few items that couldn’t be held in the bank. To think something like
this could be in the bank, and them not knowing could disaster ise. As the
treaty between the Wizarding World and the Goblin Nation, banned these items
from coming into the bank. Having one there could start a War if they found it
and not told about it in the first place. So Bill promised Harry he would tell
the Goblins, and inform him when they found the Horcruxes.
 
Other than training, spending time with Hermione when he could, and attending
Order meetings, the summer was somewhat quiet. The only thing of interest was
when one day he was turning from his training, and was taking a walk through
the local park when he saw Dudley in there too, with his friends talking about
who they bullied that day, some small kid.
 
Unlike before where they would pick on him as kids, they now knew that Harry
wasn’t someone to deal with, and would fight back if pushed too far. So when
they saw Harry, they parted ways and went to their own homes, and Dudley and
Harry went back to No. 4 Privet Drive. However though, as they went through a
tunnel, they suddenly felt cold and as if all happiness was gone. And whilst
Dudley couldn’t see them Harry saw two Dementors, one at each end of the
tunnel. This forced Harry to cast the Patronus Charm to send the Dementors.
 
However when he got back to Privet Drive, his uncle and aunt were upset at what
happened to their son and blame Harry. As he got a few owls, one telling him he
was expelled from Hogwarts, for doing magic out of school. Than he got an owl
from the Ministry of Magic, saying he was expelled from Hogwarts, for doing
magic out of school and someone was coming to snap his wand.
 
He then got an owl from Mr. Weasley saying that he should stay at the Dursleys,
and not leave the house until further notice, and that Dumbledore was sorting
his expulsion, and told him not to let go of his wand. Harry could only laugh
at this, he was considered an adult with the law, and this shouldn’t be a
problem, once he went to the Ministry of Magic the next day.
 
He than got another Ministry of Magic, saying his expulsion and the order to
destroy his wand was revised, until his disciplinary hearing on 12th August, at
which time an official decision will be taken. So until then he was considered
suspended. He didn’t know what the hell Dumbledore or the Ministry of Magic,
but he had plans to go to Ministry of Magic and deal with it all the next day.
 
With what happened to his son, and having so many owls, Vernon wanted to throw
Harry out. But his aunt got a howler of all things say ‘REMEMBER MY LAST,’
which stopped them throwing Harry out. Instead they told him to get out of
their sight.
 
The next day instead of staying at the Dursleys like he was told to, like hell
he was going to follow that order if he could get out of the problem himself,
and went to Ministry of Magic. Where he meet both Madam Hopkirk and Madam
Bones, Hopkirk because he heads up the Improper Use of Magic Office, and so
would be someone who could overturn the problem. And remind her that he is now
a adult, so within limits, could do what he wanted with magic. Madam Bones, as
she was the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Harry wanted
to inform her about two Dementors being in the area and so need to check if the
Ministry still had control of them.
 
Madam Hopkirk apologize for sending the notice, but their records seem to have
been missed up, and so the sensors were altered to make it believe that Harry
was still considered as a child, something Madam Bones was going to look into.
But they had to ask where he used the Patronus Charm in a Muggle Area for. At
first they didn’t believe Harry that he faced two Dementors, but after Harry
give them his memories, and repeat what he said under Veritaserum and admitting
the memory was not a fake, they believed him and canceled the disciplinary
hearing and Madam Bones would look into about why Dementors was in a Muggle
Area.
 
When Dumbledore heard about this, he was unhappy about it, telling Harry that
he should stay safe. But Harry told the old fool that it was his right to do
this, as it was the fastest and easiest way to stop the disciplinary hearing.
Not only that, but doing nothing sooner would make him look more guilty about
it. But now not only was it sorted, but Madam Bones was now looking into why
two Dementors were in a Muggle Area. Something that might not of done later on.
Summer ended with nothing else happened, Harry spent time with his friends and
trained.
 
When he and his friends returned to Hogwarts, they found out that the new
Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was a toad looking woman by the
name of Dolores Umbridge, who soon would be known as Umbitch. From what he
remember of one of the Order Meetings, she only got the job because Dumbledore
couldn’t get someone else and the fool that calls himself the Minister for
Magic, Cornelius Fudge, used his power to give her the job. The reason was that
he feared that Dumbledore was trying to build an army against him, and so sent
Umbridge to keep an eye on Dumbledore, and teach what he considered safe stuff,
a.k.a, fuck all.
 
But as Harry thought about it during that year Welcome Feast, he realized that
if Dumbledore really wanted to, he could have hired a retired Auror to teach
them. They would be the best idea, seeing that they trained to fight against
the Dark Wizards/Witch and Creatures, why the Headmaster couldn’t get an Auror
to teach them, Harry didn’t know. But he blamed him for what happened that
year.
 
The start of the week was a bit of the problem with the students, because of
the newspaper article bad mouthing him. Harry knew what this was about, the
fool of a Minister for Magic was trying to make him look bad, so that no one
would believe a word he said about Voldemort being back. And now most of the
school believe in the lies printed in the Daily Prophet.
 
It didn’t help that Minister for Magic sent Umbitch to Hogwarts, so that no one
there learnt anything. All she did was making them read theory work, and do no
practical spell work. When Hermione asked about this, the toad, as some people
begun to call her, told them that all they need to know about is theory and as
long as they knew theory well enough, they can cast the spell without problem.
Harry couldn’t believe that, and made a comment about the first time they would
be casting the spell could be when they were being attacked by a Dark Wizard -
he didn’t mention the Dark Lord just a Dark Wizard.
 
But the toad got the wrong end the stick, and told Harry that the Dark Lord
hadn’t returned, it was a lie, and they wouldn’t be attacked in school. And she
told the class that as long as they learnt the theory, they would be fine doing
the spell without problems. Harry tried to argue this, but he got a few
detentions for spreading lies and was sent to his Head of House. And what did
Professor McGonagall, told him to keep his head down, and do not make a fuss,
seeing that Umbridge was there because of Fudge.
 
Harry couldn’t believe it, instead of backing him up and defending him, his
Head of House told him to keep his head down and don’t make a fuss. It would
seem that instead of protecting those she meant to protect at Hogwarts,
McGonagall was too scared of the Minister for Magic. Harry couldn’t believe it,
this was a school and the Minister for Magic shouldn’t have any say as to how
to run it, and the teachers should protect them. But they were not, instead
they were running scared.
 
Than when he went to the detentions, he was given lines, but no normal lines
though. The quill that he was using, used his very own blood, and the lines
were engraved into his skin. Harry was thinking about informing someone, but
the problem was he wasn’t sure if he should. Most of the Professors there were
too scared to do anything, not only that, but Harry feared that at some point
she might gain power to start controlling the school.
 
Harry was right to be afraid, as by the end of the second week back at
Hogwarts, Umbitch became the first over `Inquisitor. The High Inquisitor had
the power to inspect her fellow educators and make sure that they are coming up
to scratch, and if they won’t, the High Inquisitor could fire them. And Harry
suspected that within time she would gain more power, so that she could do
whatever she wanted, and so the Blood Quills that she was using would be used
without punishment on her part.
 
And Harry was right, whilst the rest of the year was fine with most of the
classes, Umbitch gained more power, thanks to the Ministry (spearheaded by
Dolores Umbridge) creating new Educational Decrees, one of which was the reason
the bitch was in Hogwarts in the first place, to suppress and outlaw behaviour
of which the Ministry did not approve, some of which would outright expel the
students found to be in transgression of. And over the next few months the toad
was able to put in place many Educational Decrees to fit her own agenda, so
that she could get her own way in school and make the lives who are against her
harder. So if he did report her, it would soon be covered up and a new Decree
would be issued to allow her to use such items as punishment. So as long as the
Minister for Magic was backing her up, she was untouchable and nothing could be
done to her.
 
A few of Decree were, Educational Decree Number Twenty-Six (forbade boys and
girls from being within six inches of each other,) Educational Decree Number
Twenty-Nine (gave Umbridge the power to review all extra-curricular
activities,) Educational Decree Number Thirty-Five (banned items that were not
of educational value,) and Educational Decree Number Forty-Six (banned from
Hogwarts all literature written by non-wizards or half-breeds.) There were many
other Decrees, all to make those who aren’t with Umbitch life harder at
Hogwarts.
 
Those who sided with the bitch liked the Educational Decree Number Ninety-
Eight, as it created a group called the Inquisitorial Squad not only allow the
student extra credit, but allow them to take points from others, and protect
them from said Decrees, so they could do whatever they like and not get into
trouble.
 
Since the toad became the High Inquisitor, she investigated all the classes,
whilst most of the classes passed her her requirements or taught in such a way
that she couldn’t do much, two Professors won’t so lucky.
 
Sybill Trelawney, after a series of poor performances in Umbridge’s inspections
she was put on probation and then fired from the post of Divination teacher.
But Dumbledore got the upper hand this time, not only did he allow her to
remain in Hogwarts as a resident, as the High Inquisitor had no authority to
remove fired teachers from the grounds, but he replaced her with a Centaur
named Firenze. It would seem that he was banished from the forest seeing that
he was willing to side with humans in the Dark Times they were facing, and
Dumbledore seemed to hire him.
 
Although Harry was suspicious about this, for all the talk Dumbledore had for
wanting to give a better lives for the half-breeds, he has done very little to
help them. The only time Harry saw the man done anything to help them, was when
it was something in it for him. It might not be right away, but later on, but
he would find a way to use them somehow. That was Harry’s thoughts at least.
 
The other Professor that the toad wasn’t happy with, Rubeus Hagrid’s
inspections went no better, as after he barely excused himself for his long-
term absence, which was to try and convince the giants to join the Light Side
or at least have them stay on the sidelines. It didn’t help that Umbridge’s
prejudice for half-breeds led her to be biassed against Hagrid’s first
inspection, acting as though she could not understand his language while asking
extremely offensive questions to students, and then placed him under probation
as well. This led Hagrid’s normal performances, which had gotten better over
the years, to falter, as he was distracted by her continued presence, and
eventually he was ousted from his position as Care of Magical Creatures
teacher.
 
Near the end of the year, without Dumbledore there and fearing what the half-
giant would do, Umbridge brought Aurors with her she fired Hagrid. It didn’t
work out well, there was a fight and Hagrid was forced to flee after a brief
struggle.
 
Whilst he wasn’t upset about Trelawney getting fired, as she was a useless
teacher and wondered why the old Headmaster kept her around, Harry was upset
about Hagrid being fired. The half-giant was getting better at teaching each
year, sure he could go overboard with the Magical Creatures, but he was a good
teacher to learn from and Harry learnt a bit about the Creatures in the
Wizarding World thanks to Hagrid.
 
Harry shook his head, as he remembered a few more things that happened before
Hagrid was fired. But each time he remembered that time, he was pissed at the
Toad, and if she wasn’t already dead, Harry t thought he would kill her again.
Now back on track, shortly before Halloween, seeing that Umbitch wasn’t
teaching them anything, Hermione came to him about teaching others what he knew
and learnt through his training. And set up a meeting before he could say yes
or no about it.
 
During this meeting, Harry flat out told them that he wouldn’t teach them,
however if they were training themselves and they were in the same area, as
long as they were respectful to him, he would give them pointers. When they
argued about this, saying Hermione said he was willing to teach them, Harry
pointed out that she did so before asking him first. Harry also pointed out
that over the years since he started Hogwarts, they give him less reason to do
anything for them, more so from last year and this year.
 
Not only that, but Harry pointed out that should Umbitch ever find out what
they were doing, she would create a Decree to stop this. But if they do their
own personal training, she couldn’t be able to do much, and he would be willing
to give pointers and show them how some of the spells worked. As much as people
were upset about this, most of them could understand the risk, and why Harry
was resisted about helping them. At least he was willing to give pointers to
those who personally do their own training, and show them what to do.
 
And so that was the case, and much too Harry’s pleasure, Umbitch was unhappy
about this, by the looks she was giving him, there wasn’t wasn’t much she could
do about it. From the rumours he heard, she did try, but Madam Bones was on her
back seeing that she caught wind of the possible Decree and learning that her
niece was taking up training, she stepped in. This was one of the few Degrees
she could fight against, as the others were connected to school whilst this one
was not. Like the one closing all after school activities, Clubs and Quidditch
practice, until Umbridge agrees they can restart it.
 
In fact, the Gryffindor Quidditch Team ran afoul with this, as Umbitch wanted
to damage the Gryffindor’s rap and screw up the chances at their first game
against Slytherin. Harry was glad that he wasn’t on the team anymore, as he
suspected she would try something with him. But one of times that she fought
against Umbitch, McGonagall fought against the Decree so that her House could
practice enough for the game. She was willing to fight against Umbridge if it
affects Gryffindor’s Team at the chance of winning, but she wouldn’t defend
those who really need her as Head of House and Deputy Headmistress.
 
Then again Harry remembered it wasn’t the first time she wasn’t there for him,
she wasn’t there in his first year when he was still friends with Ron. He and
his friends learnt that someone, at the time they thought it was Snape, was
going after the Philosopher’s Stone, and went to her for help. But she wouldn’t
listen to them, saying they don’t know what they were talking about, as the
Stone was safe and nobody could get to it. She warned them to leave it alone,
or she would be forced to take points from them.
 
Either way, back to fifth year, other than Umbitch and her damn Decrees, life
at Hogwarts was as close to a normal year that Harry was going to get at
Hogwarts. No three-headed dogs, not magical stones, no giant snakes, no so
called mass murders after him, no Tournament or the like to worry about. Sure
Umbridge was a nightmare, but if he could deal with Snape all these years,
Harry could deal with Umbitch for a while, at least until the truth about
Voldemort comes out.
 
Harry remembered Christmas that year, it was good and bad. The bad was that Mr.
Weasley was killed somehow, no one was willing to say how, just that he was
doing a job for Order that went wrong. The Weasleys were upset at this, Harry
had a bad feeling that Mr. Weasley died during the protection detail that Harry
wasn’t allowed to know about. Harry feared it had something to do with him, but
how he didn’t know seeing that he was at Hogwarts at the time of his death. But
by the looks that few of the people were giving him, he suspected he was
connected somehow.
 
Whilst it was sad that Mr. Weasley dead, Harry found a bright spot to the
holidays. As a gift from Sirius, he give Harry and Hermione Animagus Potion, so
they could reveal what their forms were. They were shocked to find that they
both had the same form, Dire Wolf, in the Muggle World they would be considered
extinct, but in the Magical World, rare. You could only find them in certain
areas.
 
Dire Wolves were larger, heavier and stockier than the Gray Wolf, not only
that, but their heads were much more massive, wide, and thicker with muscle
than an average Gray Wolf. The were the size of a small horses or of bears and
certainly. Hermione’s form was a brown Gray Wolf, and just under five foot
tall, and the normal muscle for a Dire Wolf. Harry on the other hand had black
fur, and was taller by a foot and a half, and had more muscles than Hermione.
It turned out that Harry’s form was the alpha Dire Wolf.
 
Once they found out about their forms, when they won’t spending time with the
Weasleys, Ron was upset but somewhat bearable, they were training to turn into
Dire Wolves. Another good thing that happened was news from Bill Weasley, he
came to thank them for the info about a possibility that a Horcrux was in
Gringotts. As it turned out Harry’s hunch was right, as there was one, the
Vault that it was belonged to was Bellatrix Lestrange. Sirius informed Harry
that Bellatrix was his deranged cousin, that should be put down, as she was mad
as a hater and loyal to the Dark Lord.
 
Bill informed Harry that there won’t be no recognition to the Wizarding World
for Bellatrix putting a Horcrux within Gringotts’ walls, as it seemed that a
Goblin Clan Leader helped to cover what was in her vault for extra Gallons to
keep their mouth shut. by the name Argo of the named after Argo Blacktooth, who
was a clever leader who figured out how to use one of ancient goblin’s
Halaster’s traps to target creatures from afar. He belonged to a clan known as
Spearbiters who used to be part of the so-called Sothillisian Empire, long
before the Magical World went into hiding.
 
Bill also informed Harry that the Director wanted to reward Harry, it was
either Bellatrix’s personal vault that had the Horcrux, or give Argo’s Clan to
Harry and so from then on he and his family would own Clan Spearbiters from
then on, and until the end of time. Harry was shocked at this, he didn’t think
that the goblins would do this.
 
But Bill informed Harry and Hermione, who was horrified at this, informed them
that this was part of the Goblin’s Customs. If it was just a normal member of
the Clan, they would be simply been killed or put to work in the mines, which
was over time a death sentence, as no one normally last long in the mines if it
was a punishment. As they would only do two things, sleep and work and nothing
more, where normal workers would have time off and such.
 
But seeing that Argo was a Clan Leader, his punishment was much more huser, as
he was a leader and stood up as a higher standard. Because of this, he and the
rest of the clan would be punished husely. When asked why would the clan would
be punished along with their leader, Bill explained this was to discourse other
Clan Leaders from doing the same thing as Argo. As much as they hated the idea,
they could see a strange logic to it.
 
So Harry asked what would happen to the Spearbiters should he decide to take
Bellatrix’s personal vault instead. Bill explained that other than Argo who
would be killed, the male goblins would be sent to the deepest of mines to work
until they die, which could be within months depending how strong they were.
The females would work in whores, and for the rest of their lives would be used
by whoever paid for them or be sold of as slave.
 
But should Harry take over the clan, they would become Clan Potter and Harry
could use them as they like. Their lives and welfare would be down to him at
the end of the day, and no one in the Goblin Nation or the Wizarding World
would bat an eye about it. He could treat them as the Goblin Nation would and
nothing would be said.
 
Before Harry decided what to do though, he asked Bill what would stop Clan
Spearbiters from retaliating, as Harry couldn’t see them not fighting back with
being forced into this. Bill informed them that they would be forced into a
ritual where they would be bonded to his blood, so that the Spearbiters
couldn’t harm or betray those belonging to the Potter Family be it through
blood or marriage.
 
As much as Harry didn’t want to, he couldn’t stand a group of people who done
nothing wrong to be punished, Harry decided to take over Clan Spearbiters. What
he would with them he would decide later on, for now until then whilst looked
down upon by the rest of the Goblin Nation, they were protected.
 
With the death of Mr. Weasley seemed to spark something in Dumbledore, as he
decided to agree in training Harry. But it wasn’t the training that Harry
wanted, Dumbledore was showing him memories of Tom Riddle’s past showing him
what he was like a child. The Headmaster explained that this was to show what
he was like as a child, to understand why he was like he was.
 
At first Harry thought it was a good idea, to learn about Voldemort’s past, but
he soon learned it wasn’t the case. As after seeing the third memory, all Harry
needed to know was that even as a child he was nothing more than a bully who
lived in an orphanage. People disliked him because of the strange events that
happened around him.
 
Finding the information useless, Harry asked the old man about why didn’t they
do all the memories in one afternoon, instead one memory a Sunday lunchtime. It
would make more sense, and allow them to get on better things, learning magic
that would help defeat the Dark Lord. But the Headmaster wouldn’t hear any of
it, saying it was more important to learn about Voldemort’s past than it was
learning magic. And the reason it was taking so long, was that he needed to
find more of the memories about Voldemort’s past.
 
Harry then realized that Dumbledore had no real intention of teaching him any
magic, and believed that these useless memories of Voldemort’s past was more
important. Learning why he became the way he did. Harry couldn’t help but laugh
at this, and told the old man that unless he was going to show him memories
that were useful instead of the Dark Lord’s childhood, then he would watch
them. Otherwise, unless the Headmaster was willing to teach him magic, these so
called training sessions ends.
 
Giving Harry a disappointed look, the old man told him that unless he was
willing to watch the memories with him, he wouldn’t be willing to teach him
anything else. Seeing where this was going, Harry told the Headmaster that he
would learn what he needed by himself if he wasn’t willing to help him. And
seeing that the Headmaster wasn’t going to help, Harry parted ways with the old
man.
 
For the rest of the year, the only interesting thing that happened at Hogwarts
was when Umbridge was able to kick Dumbledore as Headmaster, and become
Headmistress of Hogwarts as well as the Defence. But that didn’t last for long
though, as Madam Bones was finally found out who sent the Dementors to Harry
and it was none other than Dolores Umbridge. She was arrested, and thanks to
the proof that Madam Bones was able to gather, Umbitch wasn’t able to get out
of it and the fool Fudge threw her to the wolves and give up his protection
that he was giving her.
 
During her investigation Madam Bones found out that Umbridge sent the Dementors
to shut Harry up, so that he wouldn’t keep the lies about Voldemort coming
back. And she used the Daily Prophet to smear Harry, so that no one would
believe his lies. And after that and more investigation, learning about using
the blood quills on students and other crimes, Dolores was arrested but didn’t
end up in Azkaban as she should have. As there were some high powered people
that was able to stop it, and all that happened was losing her job at the
Ministry and not be allowed to have a job there ever again.
 
The truth of Voldemort being out there was revealed at the end of the school
year. Sirius was finally found out about what the meeting he was being thrown
out of, and why Mr. Weasley was killed. It would seem that the Order was
guarding the entrance of the Department of Mysteries. The reason was that there
was an area within the Department called the Hall of Prophecy, which held all
prophecies that was ever made. And they kept with a orb, which only those who
it was about could get hold off.
 
And it would seem that there was one about Harry and Voldemort which the Order
protecting so the Dark Lord couldn’t get hold of. And Mr. Weasley was killed by
a snake bite, which they suspect was Voldemort’s pet snake, Nagini. They don’t
know why Nagini would be there, but as far as they know she disappeared soon
after killing Mr. Weasley.
 
It would seem that before the end of the last war, Voldemort learnt part of the
prophecy between him and Harry, and so went after the Potters. But now he was
back, before he does anything, he wants to learn the full prophecy so he
wouldn’t make the same mistake as before.
 
Harry wasn’t sure what he thought about the prophecy, as he didn’t put too much
faith in them, as there was so many ways to read them. So much that you could
get it wrong, and not g           et the prophecy right. But he was angry that
Dumbledore hid the prophecy from him, as if he knew about it, he could have
gotten it learnt what it was about and destroy it so that Voldemort couldn’t
learn about it. And if that happened at the start, Mr. Weasley could still be
alive today.
 
Harry rubbed his right eye as he thought back to the end of his fifth year, as
so much went wrong, and he not only lost the sight in his right eye but lost
Sirius too. You see, both Harry and Sirius thought that Harry should get hold
of the prophecy, learn what it said and then destroy it, so that not only
Voldemort couldn’t learn about it, but no one else dies from it. But the plan
didn’t go as they hoped.
 
As the night after the final exams, Sirius sent Harry a Portkey where the teen
left Hogwarts to use where he would meet up with Sirius and they would sneak
into the Hall of Prophecy and get the damn prophecy. But things didn’t go to
plan that night, as they won’t the only ones sneaking into the Department of
Mysteries to get the prophecy to find what it said. Voldemort along with a few
of his loyal Death Eaters, a few of them escaped Azkaban recently, sneaked into
the Ministry of Magic, as there would be very few people there and unlikely to
see them.
 
But when Harry and Sirius faced got to the Hall of Prophecy, Harry picked the
Prophecy Orb that had his and Voldemort’s name, when Voldemort and his Death
Eaters appeared. There was a fight, they were able to hold up for a bit, but
seeing that they were outnumbered, they found themselves on the defence. During
the fight the Prophecy Orb was smashed. But that wasn’t for long when the Order
Members arrived with the Aurors, along with Ministry of Magic, Fudge.
 
With the arrival of the Order and the Aurors, Voldemort and his Death Eaters
retreated, but not before Sirius’s cousin Bellatrix Lestrange tried to kill
Harry. But before the spell could hit Harry, Sirius pushed Harry out of the way
and killing him instead. In a fit of anger, Harry went after the bitch to pay
her back. Harry was able to catch up to her, and disarm her, but she a digger
which she tried to stab him. But Harry was able to dodge the attack, but not
without injury, as the digger caught his right eye, and before he could do
anything Bellatrix she escaped as Voldemort appeared.
 
Voldemort tried to take over his body, but thanks to Harry’s training, the Dark
Lord wasn’t able to. At the same time, Dumbledore appeared and Voldemort fled.
In that day people learnt about the truth about the Dark Lord being back, but
at a great cost to Harry.
 
During that night, Harry went to the school healer, who was able to stop the
eye from bleeding, she wasn’t able to save it fully. She informed Harry that
the blade was cursed, and whatever the curse left him blind in that eye, and so
Harry would often have to wear an eye patch.
 
After seeing the Healer, Harry went to see the Headmaster as the old fool
wanted to see him. The old man tried to give Harry a disappointed look, telling
him how disappointed he was that that Harry and Sirius went to the Department
of Mysteries, and because of this Sirius was killed. This didn’t set well to
Harry, as Harry belittled the old man, saying that if anyone should be him and
not the Headmaster. It was because of the Headmaster trying to control him,
that Mr. Weasley and Sirius, not him but the Headmaster, was killed.
 
Harry told the old man that if he didn’t try and control him and keep important
information from him, they could have gotten the Prophecy Orb so that he could
hear it, and then they could destroy it. This way no one needed to guard it, or
in case of Prophecy Orb Mr. Weasley and Sirius, die because of it. Dumbledore
had the gall to say once again that the death was down to Harry and Sirius
himself, and that Mr. Weasley’s death unfortunate, but it was for the Greater
Good.
 
It was then that Harry realized that what happened that night was something
that the damn old man wanted, with all the risk around it, he wanted the Dark
Lord coming to the Hall of Prophecy so that he could reveal that the Dark Lord
had indeed returned. He didn’t care if one or two people died really, just as
long as he could reveal that the Dark Lord had returned.
 
This made up Harry’s mind, for the last few months, he was deciding if he would
return to Hogwarts for his sixth year or not, or take a more proactive approach
in fighting the Dark Lord. But after that night, hearing Dumbledore blaming him
and Sirius for what happened to them, and everything else he made up his mind:
he wouldn’t be returning to Hogwarts the following year.
 
The old Headmaster wasn’t happy with this, and tried to tell the young man that
he couldn’t do that, but Harry informed him that he could. As long as he passed
his OWLs, he could leave school and take his NEWTs at a later date if he
wanted. This was when Dumbledore informed Harry what the Prophecy said, it was
as Harry and Sirius suspected, it was that only Harry could defeat the Dark
Lord and he had some sort of power the Dark Lord knows not.
 
When Harry asked what kind of power this was, Dumbledore said it was his
ability to love, something Voldemort wasn’t able to. Harry laughed at the old
man, and asked him how could he use this so called ability, give the Dark Lord
a hug? No, he was going to leave Hogwarts and defeat the Dark Lord his own way.
Before Dumbledore could say anything else, Harry left the Headmaster’s office.
Whilst he tried to speak to Harry over the next few days, that would be the
last time Dumbledore would speak to Harry at Hogwarts, as he would not be back
the following year.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends chapter two of Magical
Fallout, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed
writing it. And if you did enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know what
you think, but no flames, as they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are guest
reviews. It took longer then I would have liked as the mood to write was on and
off, which as some of you know can be a bother at most of the time.
 
This chapter had become longer than I suspected, I was trying to wrap up
Harry’s last few years at Hogwarts in this one chapter, but like normal when I
write I either add more detail than I planned, or/and as I write new ideas come
along and I add them. Because of this, there’ll be another chapter where I’ll
be writing about Harry’s fight against Voldemort, and about why Vernon wants to
see Harry. I’m not suspect the next chapter to be as long as this one, but who
knows with me, it would be possible lol.
 
Once again I need some help, I’m trying to think of creatures within the
Fallout World that could be used for food or metal or for weapons, or could be
used like the Brahmins as caravan workers. I want realistic ideas, and not from
the games, here are just a few things I can think of, but if there’s anymore
you can think of be it creatures or their uses, please let me know.
 
Bighorners: used for their horns, meat and hides.
Brahmins: used not only for caravan work, but for their meat and hides.
Wolfs: used for their meat and hides.
Deathclaws: used for their eggs, hands, meat and hides.
Mirelurks: used for their eggs and meat.
Mole Rats: used for their meat.
RadScorpion: used for their stinger for weapons. (From Facebook.)
 
But if there’s creatures that isn’t in the game, but you think should be, let
me know, along with what they should look like, and what they called and how
they could be used. I ask, as I was thinking that turtles could be mutated and
used for their meat and their shells to create shields - but I need a name for
for these new creatures.
 
Horse = Radsteeds: Someone said on Facebook that there should be horses within
Fallout New Vegas, and I agree, there should be, and so they suggested
Radsteeds, but not their looks. So I would like ideas as to how they should
look like...
 
I was watching a video about Ballistic Weave, and it made me realize that
realistically it wouldn’t be possible, as the clothing would be too thick. So I
thought that I could use something from the Wizarding World, something like
Acromantula Web, which is magical and so could be used for the Ballistic Weave.
But I wanted to hear what you think of the idea, and if not Acromantula Web,
what could be used to make it realistic?
 
Lastly, I would like your help to create the Vault Dweller character, for when
I get to the Fallout 1 Saga of this story. Should there be more than one of
them, or just one. What should he/they be like, their skills and such. I hope
you can help me with this, so I can write the saga faster.
And please look back at the last chapter, about the Moonbase idea, as I would
like your thoughts and ideas about it.
 
Once again, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I
enjoyed writing it. Please spare a few minute to leave some feedback and let me
know what you think of it, and if possible let me know what you would like to
see happen next in the story.

31st of July 1998 - The Dursley’s Household:
 
As Harry sat in his old room, he sighed as he thought about the last three
years, when he first left Hogwarts for good, Hermione was upset with him. As
she thought that Harry should finish school before doing anything foolish, as
NEWTs were important. But Harry argued that whilst Hogwarts was good for normal
students, he wasn’t a normal student, he was a student with a Dark Lord after
his head and so needed to learn things that Hogwarts doesn’t have to offer, and
something the Headmaster wasn’t going to offer him any time soon.
 
The Boy-Who-Lived went on to explain that with NEWTs, he could take them after
the war if he wanted to, as there was no time limit of when he could take them.
He pointed out that whilst it doesn’t happen often, there has been times when
students took time off studying after getting their OWLs before deciding to do
their NEWTs. They would travel the world to learn more, or have fun, and return
and do their NEWTs, or take a few years for themselves.
 
Harry also warned his girlfriend that he wasn’t only leaving Hogwarts to train,
but also to take the fight to Voldemort and his Death Eaters, as the Order
seemed to take the wait and see apace. As they often get warnings about
attacks, but Dumbledore cared more about his pet Death Eater then saving lives.
Not only that but he wouldn’t kill when he knew they were at war, and so to
save lives, you need to take the lives of the enemy.
 
Harry remembered the talk he had with Hermione about this, as much as she hated
her boyfriend leaving Hogwarts to fight and kill Voldemort and his men, she
also knew it was something he had to do. Voldemort had taken so much from him,
and he just couldn’t stand around and do nothing any longer. However, she
wasn’t going to let him go alone. Harry sighed as he thought back about the
fight that they had, he tried to keep Hermione at Hogwarts, but he learnt that
at the end of the day, women normally win their arguments against their
boyfriends.
 
Harry tried one last card to keep his girlfriend safe, for to be able to come
with him, Hermione had to talk to her parents and tell them everything that was
going on. But that plan didn’t go as he hoped, Harry didn’t know what was said,
as Hermione talked to her parents alone, but in the end the Granger’s
sorrowfully agreed for Hermione to go with Harry and train and help with the
Wizarding World war. All they asked is that they keep in connect with them when
possible.
 
Hermione asked her parents to move away from England, as she feared that in
time they would be targeted with because she was their daughter, or because
they were Muggles. As much as the Grangers hated, they could see their
daughter’s reasoning and agreed to move from the country. In doing this, Harry
thought he should warn the Dursleys about this, and like Hermione provide them
with special Portkeys to help them should they need it.
 
Which he did, but he didn’t know if they were used it, but he knew that the
Dursleys moved some time after his warning, and letting them know he wouldn’t
be back. But he knew that at some point after they left, their home was set on
fire, a magical fire. Because of this, Harry rebuilt their home. Harry did all
this not because he liked or cared for them, in fact they can go to hell for
all he cared, but because they were family and he was a better person than they
were. Not only that, but it was something he thought his parents would do the
same if they were in his place or at least his mother would.
 
Either way, over the next few years Harry and Hermione trained and fought
against the Death Eaters until Harry was able to face Voldemort for once and
for all. During these time, they also searched and destroyed the rest of
Voldemort’s Horcruxes, and over time they found them, the last four was Marvolo
Gaunt’s Ring, Ravenclaw’s Diadem, Nagini, Voldemort’s pet snake, and
surprisingly Harry himself.
 
The Ring was hidden under powerful wards at Gaunt’s old family home, and should
anyone tried to wear it, there was a deadly curse that would wither the
person’s hand, before slowly killing them painfully. It was strange, the metal
of the ring was the Horcrux, not the stone. It looked a normal onyx gem, but
Harry felt a pull to it, as it meant to be his. Harry didn’t know why, but it
felt the same as his invisible cloak.
 
The Ravenclaw’s Diadem was found at Hogwarts, Harry didn’t know how the goblins
found that out, but he was glad that they did. As it was hidden in a secret
room, that can be found if you knew where it was, and it changes to what the
person wants it to be - it was meant to be called the Come and Go Room. So for
them to find it, it was surprising, but something he was grateful for.
 
Nagini was always beside her Master, so killing it was the last thing Harry did
before killing Voldemort.
 
As for Harry himself, it was about a year out of Hogwarts that he remembered
something that the Headmaster told him once during his second year. The old man
explained that the reason that he was able to speak to snakes was because on
the night that he tried and failed to kill him as a baby, Voldemort
accidentally left part of himself in him (Harry.) Now he knew about the
Horcruxes, and that Nagini was one, he feared that he might be one himself.
 
So going to the few people he could trust, he went to the Goblins to see if he
was right, and sadly he was right, his scar was one. However, instead of
destroying the normal way like the rest of them, the Goblins done a ritual that
not only got rid of the link that kept the Dark Lord alive, but allowed its
magic to mix with Harry’s magic so not only would he still be able to speak to
snakes, but he would be more powerful. It wasn’t that much of a power boost
seeing it wasn’t done properly, the Goblins be it was an accidental one.
 
This was something Harry and Hermione thought was the power he knows not, that
the prophecy spoke about and not love as Dumbledore thought it was. As who in
the right mind would create one in the person you want to kill. But horrified
them as they realized something, Dumbledore knew about the Horcruxes and Harry
was one and the Headmaster wanted him dead. There was was only two ways to
destroy a Horcrux, destroying it host/container or using a ritual to remove it
from the host and then destroying it.
 
As they thought about it, Harry and Hermione realized why their old Headmaster
didn’t want to train Harry, to make him weak and easier for the Dark Lord to
kill. This was the only reason they can think of as to why Dumbledore was so
resistant to train Harry. This broke any believe that Dumbledore was a kind and
wise man that Hermione had for the man, what kind of person was willing to
sacrifice a child’s life that.
 
Both of them knew that sacrifice needed in a war, but only if they used all
other options first or if there was no options in the first place. But it would
seem that their old Headmaster didn’t try and find any options other than Harry
needed to die, and not bother to try and find a way to save him.
 
Harry and Hermione knew that Dumbledore was strongly against killing of others,
but they had hoped that once the war was in the open, he would change his mind
- but he didn’t. Over the years, both of the teens tried to capture the Death
Eaters if they could, but if they were forced to, they would kill them. Harry
could remember Hermione’s first kill, she cried and threw up all night.
 
As for Dumbledore, the first time that they meet him after leaving Hogwarts was
about a year later, and they were in a life or death where they were forced to
kill the Death Eaters instead of capturing them. During the battle Dumbledore
tried to interfere with the fight. After the battle, Dumbledore told them how
disappointed he was with them for killing the poor fools who didn’t know any
better, and that they shouldn’t lower themselves to the Death Eaters. He wanted
to capture them so that they could be redeem themselves.
 
Harry had to disagree with him and they argued about their difference in views,
and Dumbledore tried to bring Harry and Hermione back in by force. Which forced
Harry to act and disarm the old man before he knew what was going on,
Dumbledore was foolish enough to think he was able to outsmart a battle ready
teen. After the battle, Harry hadn’t had the time to relax, and so when his
former Headmaster was about to attack, he reacted and disarmed the old man.
 
The strange thing was that when Harry caught the Headmaster’s wand, it felt the
same as the strange stone that he got and his invisible cloak. Now he had no
intention of giving the Headmaster’s wand back to right away, instead send it
back later with a few others that they got from the Order. But now though he
was going to keep the wand for himself, as strange as it sounds, the wand felt
right to him, as if he had the wrong wand all these years and just finding his
true wand now. Not only that, but it felt as if the wand didn’t want to be
returned to its original Master, that he was the new Master of it. It was
something that Harry was going to research once the war was over, to find out
why he felt like this
 
Dumbledore and some of the Order Members who lost their wands were more than
tricked that Harry and Hermione wouldn’t give their wands back, but as Harry
pointed out, it would be foolish to give weapons back to his enemy. As that’s
what they were to him at the moment, the enemy. They along with the Headmaster
was trying to force him back to Hogwarts, and back to Privet Drive, something
he didn’t want.
 
They trying to argue that he was killing people, something that they shouldn’t
be doing. Here Harry called them fools, as they were at war, and whilst he
tried to capture the Death Eaters, but sometimes they are forced to kill them
to stay alive. In a life or death battle, where they were outnumbered and there
was no way to escape, they would kill to stay alive.
 
Harry smiled as he remembered how Mad Eye Moody defended them, pointing his
wand at those who wanted to hurt him and Hermione. Moody praised the two for
their actions, as he would do the same thing too, and agreed with Harry’s
views. What people didn’t know was that because Harry shared the same views as
Moody, the old Auror would send them information about possible attacks that
the Order might not stop and so ask them to look into. From that day, Moody
would send them info about the Order should they try and stop Harry and
Hermione, and take revenge for humiliating them by taking their wands from
them.
 
In fact, a piece of information that Moody give them, was that Sirius cousin
Nymphadora Tonks had disappeared. And so far there was no evidence to say that
the Dark Lord or any of his Death Eaters were involved in her disappearance, it
was like she just disappeared from the face of the Earth. Even when Harry
hitting on known safe houses, he couldn’t find her or find any clues where to
find her. In fact, all the Death Eaters had no idea where she was, as neither
them nor the Dark Lord had her.
 
Either way, with word that the Order and Dumbledore was after them, Harry and
Hermione were careful about their plans so that they wouldn’t be caught
unaware. Harry even had the Goblin Clan that he now owned to move to America
and build a Vault not connected to Gringotts, where he sent half of his money
from his Vault in Gringotts to the one in America - where he would send on the
interest coming from his main Vault to America.
 
The reason for this was simple, he suspected that once this is all over, he
might have to leave the country. Harry feared that he might be arrested for
what he was doing, because people didn’t like that he was killing to save
lives. And depending how thing play out, he might have to escape or leave the
country. And the reason that he was taking the money out of Gringotts, is that
he feared that the Ministry would try and take control of his Vault, and take
his money from him. This wasn’t something he wanted, and so he and Hermione
made this plan just in case the worse happens, if it didn’t he would put his
money back into Gringotts. But as they say, hope for the best, but plan for the
worse.
 
Now over the years fighting the Death Eaters, he found that because of his
actions, Voldemort brought in outside help from other countries to fight him.
Be it people or magical creatures that Britain never seen before, to rebuild
the army that Harry was destroying. One of these groups were Dark Battle Mages,
who used weapons other than wands, like swords and maces. So Harry had to use
his sword training to battle them, during this time he learnt dual sword
fighting, where using one to attack and one to defend.
 
There were two missions where he killed where he was happy and unhappy about,
the mission he was about killing was when he killed Umbridge. Harry found she
became a supporter of the Dark Lord, who was helping to round up half-breeds
and muggle, where Voldemort either killed them or turned them into slaves. So
he was more than happy to kill the bitch, not only because of what she was
doing, but because of what she put him through during his fifth year.
 
The mission where he had killed and he was sad about was the death of his
former friend Ron Weasley, Harry didn’t know the full story, but sometime
during his seventh year at Hogwarts, Ron joined forces with Voldemort. From
what he could gather, Ron’s jealousy got too much for him, people were getting
what he wanted and he had enough of it. So instead of working for it himself,
when the Dark Lord offered Ron a place to his side, agreeing to give Ron
whatever he wanted, Ron jump up it.
 
Harry was upset he had to kill his old friend, but the problem was that Ron
wouldn’t back down in the fight. And thinking that he could get more favour
with the Dark Lord, attempted to kill Harry and nothing other than death itself
would stop Ron. And so Harry was forced to put him down hard.
 
It was something that whilst upset the Weasley, all apart for two of them,
could understand. They knew that Harry would have tried to bring Ron in alive,
but the fool was relentless in killing Harry and forcing the Boy-Who-Lived to
kill him. It was his mother and sister who couldn’t forgive Harry for killing
Ron, thinking that Harry and Hermione could have done more to bring in Ron
alive.
 
As the war raged on, after getting Dumbledore’s wand, he found that he gained
more power somehow, and that his injuries were healing faster than normal. And
at one point, when he lost a few fingers in his fights, they regrew overnight.
This is another reason why he was going to research the wand and the other
items, as it made no sense why he had more power and had this healing ability
now. Although he wasn’t complaining, as it was useful during the war time.
 
Over the last year of the war was the worse for Harry, as Hermione disappeared
one night as they were hunting a pack of werewolves connected to Voldemort. But
during Hermione’s portal of the area of the pack, she just disappeared, and
never to be seen again. Here Harry went on a rampage, he attacked the pack of
werewolves to see if they had her, and when he found out that they didn’t he
just killed them. This happened for the next few months, attacking all known
Death Eaters and their supporters to find Hermione, most of the time Harry
would just kill them and go onto the next target, the lucky ones were those who
escaped Harry before he could anything.
 
It all ended when about two months ago, when Voldemort attacked Hogwarts and
Harry finally killed the man who destroyed his life all those years ago. But
before Harry could leave the castle, he was arrested for killing the Pureblood
citizens. Many of the old Purebloods wanted Harry to be pushed through the Veil
of Death, or at the very least be sent to Azkaban.
 
But with Harry defeating Voldemort and his Death Eaters, they knew that the
public would go into a riot. So instead Wizengamot exiled Harry from Britain
Magical World, and took all his money, to pay the family members that Harry
killed. But what they didn’t know was that Harry already thought of this, and
the moment that he was arrested, the money that was left in his Vault was sent
to the Vault he created - so that they couldn’t get hold of it.
 
This was a few days ago, but when Harry got a letter from his uncle saying he
wanted to see him, curiosity got the better of Harry, and so here he was now,
in his old room waiting for his uncle to arrive. Just as Harry finished
thinking about his past, he heard someone downstairs. Looking downstairs, found
his uncle.
 
Upon seeing his nephew, Vernon sneered, “What are you doing up there boy?”
 
“Just having one last look round before I leave this place and England
forever,” Harry explained with a sigh, seeing that his uncle hadn’t changed at
all, “so what do you want from me Vernon?” The two of them moved into the
living room.
 
“As much as I hate your and your kind, I want to thank you.” Vernon explained
to the person he hated most, hating that he was thanking him. But his pride
wouldn’t have it any other way, but there was another reason for wanting the
freak here today, “I know we’ll never get along, and I’ll always hate you and
your freakish world, but my pride couldn’t let me be if I didn’t thank you for
what you have done for this family.”
 
“I didn’t do much,” Harry told his uncle, “I did what I thought my parents
would have done if they were in my place.”
 
“Maybe, and I might not be a nice man, but when someone saves myself and my
family and rebuild my home when it was destroyed, and asks nothing from it,
that alone my pride has to thank you.” Vernon admitted to this nephew, “Now how
about a drink before you leave, seeing that we most likely not seeing each
other again after today?”
 
“Sure why not.” Harry said with a smile, the man was being polite in his own
way, so it would be bad form not to be polite back. Than as his uncle went to
his drink cabinet, Harry asked, “So uncle, why send would now, why not sooner?”
 
“I didn’t want to risk my family whilst you and your freakish world was at
war.” Vernon admitted, as he poured out the drinks, and put something in
Harry’s.
 
“Then how did you know that the war ended?” Harry asked curiously, as he took
the drink from his uncle, unknowing his uncle done anything to it.
 
“Because of your aunt,” explained Vernon with disgust, which shocked Harry
until what his uncle said next, “because what you said last time we saw you,
she thought it best to get your newspaper to keep an eye out. To make sure we
stay away from where the attacks were.”
 
This made sense to Harry, whilst they didn’t want anything to do with the
Magical World, they also want to stay away from the war too. So it made sense
to get the Daily Prophet, or another magical newspaper to keep an eye out where
not to be as such.
 
“I have to say though, you freaks seemed to be more foolish than I thought for
arresting you for killing people in a time of war.” Vernon admitted in
disbelieve, “Don’t they know that in time of war, people on both sides die, and
depending on the side you are on, some people must die for a war to be won?”
 
“For once, this is one of the few times that I agree with you uncle,” Harry
agreed with Vernon, as he drank his drink, “but this is something about old
blood. You see there are those in the government and many in the Magical World
that believe in the old ways, and that those who aren’t from the old lines are
meant to be looked down upon. So me killing off the old blood was bad, and
wanted to punish me. At first, they wanted to kill me or send me to the prison,
but seeing that I solved one of biggest problem, they knew that if they did
either, there would be riots, so instead they exiled me, from the British
Magical World.”
 
Vernon could only shake his head disbelieve, whilst he had no love for his
nephew, and would have been more than happy to do nothing with him, he was
shocked at what his nephew’s people done to him. In the normal world, the
soldiers would have been rewarded for doing so such things, not punished. This
made Vernon even more happier that he had no part of the freakish world, and
after that day, he would have nothing to do with his nephew.
 
“Anyway uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving, I’m moving away from
this damn country soon, and got things to do beforehand.” Harry told his uncle.
 
“One last thing, a way to pay you back for your help a small warning,” Vernon
said with a strange smirk, “there are some people looking for you. Some sort of
government people, who wants to experiment on you and your kind, to find out
how you do what you do so that they could fight against it.”
 
Harry was horrified at this, and knew he had to get out of the country as soon
as he could, as he wanted nothing to do with this. And so he thanked his uncle,
“Thanks for the warning, I don’t know how you know about this, and I don’t
really care, but I better leave now before they find me. I wish you and your
family all the best, and I hope we never meet again.”
 
“Oh don’t worry we won’t,” Vernon said with a smirk, “and it is too late they
know where you are.”
 
“What do…” Harry begun to ask, when he suddenly felt weak and faint, and
suddenly realizing that his uncle done something to his drink asked, feeling
betrayed, “What have you done you damn bastard.”
 
“Making sure that you’ll never be in my life again, and to make sure your kind
can never normal people again.” Vernon said with a dark smirk, as he kicked his
nephew in the guts, as Harry blacked out from what he given him.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
31st of July 1998 - The Dursley’s Household:
 
Vernon Dursley smirked as he pulled out a small box from his pocket and push a
button on it, alerting those on the receiving end that the job that was asked
of him was done. You see a few weeks back, he meet up with someone saying that
he was from a secret part of the America’s government, who was researching the
possible threat the world might one day face.
 
This possible threat was these freaks that his nephew was part of. Vernon
already thought that these magical beings, were freak of nature ever since his
wife told him about them. He believed that only God should have the power to
have such powers, not humans as they couldn’t be trusted with such powers, as
this war that his freakish nephew.
 
But when these people from the American government, calling themselves the
Enclave, and they were looking for human magicals, so they could find out how
they got their powers, and how to fight them. And they learnt about the freak
being related to him, and after learning about his hatred for the Magical
World, asked his help to capture his nephew so they could experiment on him to
seeing that it was hard to get their hands on those who are magical.
 
To keep the freak of his nephew and his people away from him and his family,
Vernon was more than happy to give up his nephew. It also helped that he was
getting paid to help to capture the freak. So the Enclave Member give him a
drug that would knock the freak out, so that they could take him away with a
problem. The Enclave Member a signalling device, to let them know that the
freak was knocked out, which he was now and signal them.
 
It was a few minutes since Vernon signalled the Enclave Member to collect the
freak, when there was a knock on the door. When Vernon opened the door, he
found a man in a suit at the door. The man said, “Are you Mr. Dursley?”
 
“I am, are you from the Enclave?” Vernon asked the man dumbly.
 
“I am,” said the man simply, “have you got the package ready for me.”
 
“I have, it’s in the living room.” said Vernon.
 
“Thank you,” said the man as he singled two people in the grey van, who one of
them had a big folded black bag in their arms, “now have you told anyone else
about this, your family maybe?”
 
“No I haven’t,” Vernon told the man as he showed the people to the living room,
“I thought it best not to let my wife know. As she seem to rethink about
disowning him.”
 
“I see,” the man said thoughtfully as the men bagged Harry up, and then smirked
as he said, “now for you payment.” And before Vernon knew what was going, the
man pulled a gun out of his pocket and shoot Vernon in the head. And once he
done, he ordered his men, “Make this look a break in and take the package into
the van.”
 
And with that, the two men did so, and quickly, as they knew that the police
would be there within minutes of someone calling in hearing the gunshot. Once
they were done, the three men left the house in a hurry, and placing Harry into
the van carefully.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends chapter four of Magical
Fallout, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed
writing it. And if you did enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know what
you think, but no flames, as they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are guest
reviews. This is the final chapter about Harry’s life, whilst he’ll seen at the
start the next chapter, he’ll be mainly mentioned and seen briefly here and
there.
 
The next chapter will be with the Enclave, so I would like to ask is there
anything you can think of lore wise I should add. The information would be from
1969 to 1998. Than depending how things go with the chapter, I should do a
timeskip from 1998 to 2020, when the first L’Cie is born and explain how they
came about. And I’ll be writing about America creating a base on the moon, and
a war there too. This is to explain why there was a mural of a fight on the
moon in the Museum of Freedom.
 
But I would like to ask if there’s any lore I should be adding between this
time too. From there until 2077, I’ll be adding about about an OC who’ll be the
main character in the next saga. So if there’s any lore like companies and such
that I should add before the Great War, please let me know so I can add it.
 
Please read all of this before leaving a feedback, and let me know what you
think, and any ideas you might have. Whilst I don’t mind one liners, I do need
better feedback for this kind of story to help me to write it better. So I hope
you can help me here as you read my notes for help and you can do so.
 
I was watching Babylon 5 and saw that to help with the low resources of water,
they had something like a sonic shower to keep clean, using sonic to do so. So
I was thinking that I could use this technology in these vaults, but I was
wondering what other tech could be invented to help with solving the resources
problems in the Fallout World? I also want things that the government would use
to save resources as much as possible, in this world.
 
Do you think that after ninety odd years, the grass and plant life would slowly
regrow, and by the time of Fallout 4, it is overgrown by it in most areas? I
would like your thoughts about this, as I have seen a few mods about it and
wanted to hear your thoughts, would it be possible? And would water be drink
able by then too? I’m trying to write this as realistically as I can.
 
I ask, as I have been talking to someone on a Fallout Facebook Page who says it
is possible, as most radioactive isotopes used in nuclear weapons have
extremely short half lives, and so it should be possible for plant life and
water to start becoming back to normal. But then there are places in the world
today that have been radioactive for years, and will be for years, so I was
wondering why this is the case.
 
But thinking that if the water could be clear in ninety odd years, I need
another reason as to why the water is unsafe to drink and need to be purified,
or why it would still be radioactive. So I can keep the storyline for Fallout
3.
 
I got a review in the last chapter asking what I have planned for this story,
whilst like many of my works I have no real plans, as ideas come to me as I
write. But in this story I do have a basic plot and idea of what I want for
each Saga, which I’ll list out in a moment. But be I do, I would like to ask as
you read the plans for each saga, could you please think of any ideas as to
what I could add to each saga. Each saga is based around the Fallout world, so
if there’s something you thought was not right with the world, or you thought
something was missing from it, let me know and I’ll try and add the ideas to
the story. Now here’s the basic ideas for each saga.
 
Pre-War Saga: As you have seen so far, I have been building up the new world,
showing how the Enclave came to be, and to so how Harry is fitting into this
world. In the following chapters, I’ll be working on how the L’Cie came about
and mention some of the key points about the Fallout past. I’ll also going to
try and put info about the main character for the next saga.
 
This saga is about how the world is going to be like with magic and better
technology, as in my mind, as to me it is human nature to drive to become
better. And seeing how limited in some areas Fallout World was like, I didn’t
really like it. So I’m trying to write a new world, where there’s better
technology but limited.
 
I would like to ask for some help here, I want USA to be in martial law by
2077, I was thinking about the county having riots and violence. But the
problem I have is the reason behind this, so I would like your help in the
reasons. Any ideas would be welcomed.
 
Aftermath Saga: This saga will show what happens from right after the Great War
up to Fallout 1, during this saga, we’ll see how the survivors gets on, the
nuclear weathers that comes after it, will be bad at the start, and we’ll see
how the Brotherhood of Steel and the Master were created.
 
In this saga we’ll see pain, fear, lawlessness and such things that comes after
such war, as people try to overcome what happens. But with death coming in
forms of the weather, and other threats, the world as they know it will be
changed forever. New societies will begin to grow, as old ones dies out. But as
it happens, a new hope rises in the form of the Brotherhood.
 
Side effects of the nuclear fallout, apart for mutated animals, which I would
like ideas for, nuclear storms and such, I’ll be adding mutants, not the big
green/blue super mutants. But those who are born deformed, and how strange
power unlike of the L’Cie. If there’s anything else you can think of that you
think I should try and add during 2077 to 2161 when Fallout 1 begins, please
let me know, and I’ll try and add them. Be it from lore, or your own ideas, I
would like to hear them.
 
Fallout 1 Saga: Plain and simple, this saga will be like the lore end of the
game, so unless you can think of anything for me to add, the saga will be like
the game. Although I might go for the alternate version ending for Junktown,
‘Under Gizmo’s leadership, Junktown becomes a trading center and resort, where
people come from miles around to gamble, spend money and enjoy themselves in
relative safety. Gizmo keeps the town prosperous but healthy, as he has no
desire to injure his own affluence. The inhabitants of the town become wealthy
and famous.’
 
The reason for this as I think whilst from what I have seen so far, Gizmo is
the bad guy, in the end it looks like he was the better person to run the town.
As he was able to make the town wealthy and famous, something that was needed
in the new world.
 
Although I might make the Vault Dweller a bit darker, whilst the ending might
be good, he do a few dark things along the way. What are your thoughts about
this, I’ll listen to your thoughts and see what you want.
 
By this time, grass and the plant life starts to regrow, some of the land and
most of the water is still radioactive, so people can’t drink the water unless
it was purified. But Earth in its mysterious ways, was able to adapt, allowing
itself to get healthy once again. Another change is that instead of one Vault
Dweller, there’ll be two. If there’s any other ideas that you would me to add,
I’ll once again try and add them to the story. What do you think about about
the land beginning to regrow about this time, not fully, but begins to regrow.
The water will still be undrinkable, and some of the land won’t be plant life
regrowing like the Glowing Sea, and any other area that is highly radioactive.
 
Fallout 2 Saga: Plain and simple, this saga will be like the lore end of the
game, so unless you can think of anything for me to add, the saga will be like
the game. The only change I can think of is the ending for the Den, either
it’ll be this, ‘Metzger’s business in the slave trade soon fades with the
removal of the Mordino family. The Den continues to attract criminals, and
Metzger’s business practices delve further into drugs and prostitution. The Den
soon becomes a rallying point and a safe haven for raiders in the region.’Or
it’ll be an altered version of this ‘Metzger’s slave trade in the Den expanded
greatly, giving him influence and power throughout most of the area. Breeding
pens are started and eventually no one is safe from the threat of being
enslaved. Travelers avoid the Den, hearing of the evils committed within its
walls.’I would like to hear you thoughts about this.
 
Although like the Vault Dweller I might make the Chosen One a bit darker,
whilst the ending might be good, he do a few dark things along the way. What
are your thoughts about this, I’ll listen to your thoughts and see what you
want.
 
Now I would like to ask for help as to what happened between the end of Fallout
1 and the start of Fallout 2, I would like to write a few chapters as to what
happens between these two games. I welcome any and all ideas, and I hope you
can help me out here.
 
I’m planning to have people in this Fallout World to fix up vehicles and use
them, but because of lack of knowledge and resources to repair them, it’ll be
rare to see. But there will be a few more than we see in the game. Mainly
skilled merchants will have them, as they travel about and able to find the
things that they need to fix up a vehicle.
 
Fallout 3 Saga:Now here is where things began to change, thanks to the game
being able to be modded, I’ll be using ideas from the modding world to alter
the outcome of the story. Now the main mod idea I’ll be using will be Ties that
Bind - a narrative companion mod by TheFourWings, where in the mod the Lone
Wanderer has a sister. This might not be the only change thanks to the modding
world, I’ll be looking into it as I get to this point.
 
Now another change in this game is that unlike the other two games, where I’ll
be mostly using the good endings for the game. But for Fallout 3, the Lone
Wanderer will be evil and looking out for himself, any good deeds he do is for
his own gain, like not adding the FEV at the end, so that there would be pure
water. The Lone Wanderer will do this not because he was being good, but
because he needed the drinking water to live on and such.
 
Still have got a full plan sorted out, so any ideas I would like to hear them
to make the story great. But when I get to this, I’ll be playing the games with
mods and so be writing the saga with mods in mind. I would like some ideas as
to what happened from Fallout 2 to Fallout 3 as will.
 
New Vegas Saga: Honestly I have no idea how I’ll deal with this one, but I’m
thinking about having the Courier taking over the New Vegas. And I’ll be using
mods too, so we’ll see what happens here, but any ideas will be welcomed. Yet
again, I would like help with ideas as to what happened from Fallout 3 to New
Vegas.
 
Fallout 4 Saga:Got a few ideas here, one is connected to the Lone Wanderer, but
the main story line is that Nata and Nora survives, and meets up with Harry.
After meeting with Preston Garvey, Nate and Nora part ways, Nate helps Preston
to get to Sanctuary and set up, whilst Nora goes with Harry to find her son.
Whilst Nate will take the Minutemen Path, Harry along with Nora who’ll do
whatever it takes to find her son, takes a darker path.
 
With Harry and Nora on the search for Shaun, they run into a trap set by some
raiders, and they are forced to work with them. After a while, Harry takes over
as make the group better and stronger, and soon they tries to take over the
commonwealth.
 
Got a few other ideas, but I would like any ideas you might have.

Author’s Note:Please know that I'm looking for an editor to help me out with
this story, I'm looking for someone who can not only work on spelling and
grammar, but also sentence structure, layout, dialogue and help with things
that I might have missed or not might have thought of.
 
I was hoping that the last chapter would have been the last chapter for Harry,
but when I wrote this, with Harry still around so to speak, I just wrote him in
without meaning to. With luck, this chapter will be the last we see Harry for a
long while.

                            Harry_Potter_-_Part_4.
 
Unknown time and place:
 
Harry wasn’t sure how long he was out for, days, weeks or longer, or where he
was. All he knew at the moment was that he was in a white room, it was like a
motel room, just a double bed, a cupboard, and a bathroom in another room.
Harry wasn’t sure what was going on, the last thing he remembered was talking
to his uncle, and the next moment he blacked out and woke up here. His memories
of the last few minutes talking to his uncle were foggy, and he wasn’t sure
what happened. He found himself wearing a white medical outfit.
 
Deciding to put it to one side, Harry decided to look around, to see if there
was anyway out, at the moment, he couldn’t see any windows. And when he went to
the bathroom, there was no windows either, by the looks of things, there was
only one way out, the door. Harry didn’t check the door at first as he
suspected it would be lock, seeing he was here against his will, and he was
right it was locked. There was no door handle on this side of the door either,
or a keyhole, the only thing he could see was a small hatch in the door, where
he suspected his food and drink would be delivered. Like that was going to
happen, as he wasn’t going to let it get that far.
 
The only reason he hadn’t use magic was because he thought he was being
watched, but now that he couldn’t find a way out, he didn’t care about breaking
the law. But the problem was when he tried to Apparate, he couldn’t. Not
because there was wards around the place, as he couldn’t sense any, but because
he couldn’t feel his magic. For the first time there, he realized that he
couldn’t feel his magic at all, which was strange. And when he tried to do some
wandless magic to break the door, he wasn’t able to do so.
 
He didn’t know what was going on or where he was, but for one thing he knew for
sure, he was totally fucked. He couldn’t use his magic, and there didn’t seem
to be anyway out of this room he was in. All he could do was pace back and
forth, and try and think of what happened for him to get wherever here was, and
try to make a plan of escape.
 
With no sunlight or magic to let him know what time it was, Harry didn’t know
how long he was in the room for now he was awake. It didn’t help that he didn’t
need much sleep, because of the war, he only needed a few hours of sleep every
now and then, that he could be awake for days on end before needing to sleep
again. And in direr cases he could be awake for two weeks before he need a good
night sleep, as long as he could meditate for a few minutes to recharge. Every
so often, food and drink would be given to him.
 
When the hatch opened for the food to be put through, he could sense his magic
for a few seconds returning to him. Harry realized that whatever is keeping him
from doing magic, was connected with the room being fully sealed, and should
the hatch open the connection would break until it is closed again. But the
problem is that he didn’t know when the hatch would be open again, and when it
was open again, it was only for a few seconds, just long enough to slide the
tray of food and drink in. Not enough time to do anything.
 
As Harry waited, his memories of the moments leading to losing consciousness
slowly came back, it would seem that his own uncle betrayed him. He knew that
they never got along, but Harry never thought that his uncle would betray him
like this. With this, those close to him in the Wizarding World, and the rest
of the Wizarding World betraying him, Harry was in a foul mood and wanted to
hurt somebody.
 
So Harry waited, until at some point a man in full doctor’s outfit, he had
black hair and round glasses, with a scar across his cheek. Behind him were two
men with full armour gear with Assault Rifles. Harry could feel his magic
coming back to him fully, but before he could do anything the doctor said with
a knowing smirk, “I wouldn’t bother using your magic Mr. Potter, as should you
escape this room I have six people outside ordered to shoot you. And don’t
bother about Apparating out of here, as you won’t be able to go anyway, and
would be dead if you try to escape.”
 
“Who the fuck are you and what do you want from me? And how long have I been
here for, wherever the fuck this place is?” Harry asked darkly, not liking this
one bit. Whoever these people were, they weren’t magical, but at the same time
they knew about magic and were able to block his magic without magic.
 
“First off you don’t need to know my name,” the doctor told Harry, “but you can
call me Green. So you know, most of us that you’ll see will go by colours,
you’ll never know our true names. And you won’t even know who these people
behind me are, they would sooner shoot you than talk to you, so don’t bother.
Now as for how long you have been here, about two weeks.”
 
“And what do you want from me and where am I?” a pissed off Harry asked.
 
“Where you are is no concern to you,” said Green, “less you know the less
likely you can escape. And as for what we want from you, that is easy, we want
to learn more about your kind as we can about your kind.”
 
“You seem to know enough to block our magic, and about me.” Harry observed,
abit shocked how easy he was getting this info from them. He was suspecting
them to be more closed off, but they seem to be more open than he thought they
would be. “Although I have no idea why.”
 
“You’re right we do know something about you and how to block you using your
magic,” Green explained openly, “but that doesn’t mean we know everything. Your
kind is a natural threat to the world, and there’s some of us who want to find
a way to deal with such a threat and destroy it should we have to.”
 
Harry would like to say no, that the Muggle World was more of a threat than the
Wizarding World, but he was trained by Battle Mages and fought against them, so
he couldn’t say that. And whilst the British Wizarding World were weak and
lazy, he wasn’t sure about the rest of the world's population of wizards,
witches and mages, they could be more of a threat. He has heard that the
American Wizarding World was stronger and smarter than those in Britain.
 
Before Harry could say anything, Green said, “Now you have two options, you can
help us willingly and you'll have a great life, wanting for nothing and treated
well for the rest of your life and the tests will be as painless as possible.
Or for the rest of your life, it'll be a living hell for you, and the test
we'll be doing will be painful.”
 
“So do I take it that you have no intention of ever letting me go?” Harry asked
thoughtfully, forming a plan that was not only foolish, but deadly, so he
hoped, seeing that he had no intention of being these people's guinea pig, or
helping them.
 
“And risk you telling the rest of the world about us, I don't think so.” Green
told Harry, “So it would best to help us and have a decent life, then fight
against us.”
 
This was all he needed to hear, and gritting his teeth, he decided that he
didn’t want to be used by these people to hurt the innocent. He didn’t care
about England, it could burn to ashes as far as Harry cared, but the rest of
the world, he couldn’t take his anger for one country out on the rest of the
world. And after everything that he went though, he only wanted to go to his
loved ones, which were all dead - or as he thought they were.
 
And as Green told him, six people with guns were out there standing guard
outside of his room. And as he hoped they shot him down, and he hoped that
unlike all the times with magic, he would die. As in the last few years, whilst
the spells that hit him hurt like hell, no spell killed him when they should,
not even the Killing Curse. So Harry hoped that a unmagical way would allow him
something he wanted since Hermione disappeared, death…
 
And when the six guards shot at him, he felt them hitting vital organs, and he
thought that as he felt darkness coming over him that he finally got what he
wanted at last, he would finally die. But as darkness took him, the last thing
he heard was the one thing he didn’t want to hear, Green saying, “Looks like
the theory of Mr. Potter being partly immortal was right.”
 
The reason for Doctor Green saying this was because as soon as he entered the
hallway, he saw the bullets that were in Harry, slowing coming out of him and
bullet holes slowly healing as if the young man wasn’t shot at all. Seeing
this, Green ordered two orderlies to take Harry back to his room, whilst he did
some reports.
                                        
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Little did Harry know, but he was in a secret facility under a small town known
as Jericho, in the mountainous area of Kansas, USA. Jericho was created shortly
after World War 2 by the Enclave, so they could have a facility underneath, as
who would think of a secret facility in a friendly small town in Kansas? The
reason that the Enclave created Jericho where they did, was because there was
only two ways into the area, the back roads and a bridge across a river. The
area had rolling hills, trees, and a salt mine, and northwest corner of the
town was flat farmland for the farmers, and some farmland across the river.
 
The town population had grown from the original one thousand people, to three
thousand people in the last fifty-three years since it was founded. Only a
handful of people knew about the facility under the town, and covered it up, so
the rest of the town don’t find out.
 
This secret facility was one of the Enclaves research/testing sites, one where
they were researching ways to defend against those with magic. At the moment
all they could do was make walls that would not only stop those who can
Apparate from doing so, but also stop them from doing magic as long as the room
is fully sealed. They also able to create bands that would block wizards and
witches from doing magic unless they wanted them to do so.
 
It wasn’t much, but it was a start. But they knew that they needed something
more, something that could fight the Wizarding World on an equal footing. One
way was to create their own Magic User, a project called the L’Cie. The L’Cie
Project was to create Magic User’s that have their own kind of magic, not the
magic that the Wizarding World have, and don’t have to rely on wands and other
forces.
 
Not only that but the idea of the L’Cie Project, was that they wouldn’t have
spells, but have one single power they have to master and become powerful in.
For example, someone in the L’Cie Project could have body enhancement powers,
and depending on if they train or not, could be either weak or as strong as
they wanted. The Enclave didn’t want them all the same, they wanted to create a
new race of Magic Users with different skills, so that when they arrive on a
new planet, these people can be useful in creating a new home on the planet
much faster than those without powers.
 
The project had been going slowly, although they had years to research magic,
they only learnt how to block their magical skills. They learnt as much as they
could, about their elemental abilities, able to change their looks and being
able to change into animals. But so far they couldn’t mimic magic and alter it
so that they could give it to others. But that was until they got Harry Potter.
 
As it would seem that Harry was one of main keys in creating the new super
race. As from everything they heard and seen, he was all but immortal, as
nothing seemed to be able to kill him, next to cutting his head off, something
they weren’t planning to test any time soon. They didn’t know if he would die
of old age or not, only time will tell about this.
 
But until then, with his ability of not being able to die, they all believed
that he could be the key to their plans. They had hoped that he would be
willing to help them, but they knew that there was a chance he wouldn’t, and so
seeing this, they would be testing on him against his free will. For the
Greater Good of the human race, they had no option but to do this.
 
The Enclave knew that in the future people might look back on them as monsters,
but as long as the human race lived on, even in outer space, they were fine
with that. To them, doing the right thing for their race, meant doing monstrous
actions, and hurting the world so that you can fix it. They weren’t looking for
forgiveness as long as their race lived on, something they feared might not
happen if certain things didn’t change.
 
Whilst this facility and a few others were mainly working on the L’Cie Project,
there were others working on other projects to make the world a better place.
But for most of their plans they need a huge resource of Helium 3, which is
incredibly rare on Earth. The only place they could get the huge amount that
they need was on the moon, but how to set up a mining site on the moon, was one
of the things that one of the other facilities was working on. One of the plans
was to create a moonbase, so that they could mine it and send it back to Earth
to be used, if they could do so, who knows what they could do with it.
 
The Enclave didn’t know what the future held for them, but whatever it was,
they were going to do whatever it took to insure the human race survives it.
Even if it meant they had to kill the bad parts of it themselves, so that the
good parts can live on.
                                        
                                    o0OoO0o
 
31st of July 2050:
 
It has been nearly fifty years since Harry Potter disappeared from the world,
and those who knew about him have forgotten about him and those who still
remember him was cursing his name. As when they went to get the money from his
Vaults within Gringotts, they found that the Potter’s and the Black’s Vaults
were all but empty, and denied them the huge amount of money that they could
have used.
 
They never knew that Harry was being experimented all all this time: the
Jericho Research Site learnt that at age twenty-five, Potter stopped aging and
so proved that he was in fact immortal. If he could die if he had his head cut
off, or his body was damaged beyond fixing was something they didn’t know, nor
wanted to find out just yet. But with all the painful experiments, they found
out that he could heal faster then any normal person and given time regrow most
parts of his body.
 
So during the years, they tried to copy Harry’s DNA to become immortal
themselves, but for some reason they were unable to do so. For some reason, the
gene for his immortality couldn’t be found and so couldn’t be copied as of yet.
Whilst they didn’t gain immortality, thanks to Harry’s and a few others DNA,
they were able to create a new serum, which they believed should create a new
race of humans.
 
But the problem was when it came to testing, when they tried to give it to some
people, their bodies was rejecting the new DNA to give them powers. But a few
suggested that they should give the serum to women in the early stages of
pregnancy, saying it was a new type of vaccine to protect the unborn child, but
instead it would be the new DNA to give the child powers.
 
They hoped that by doing this, the serum would work into the baby and it would
adjust so the child could mold with the serum, and hopefully gain a new power.
They don’t know what the power was, as they couldn’t work out how to do that,
just that they could give someone powers.
 
And it would seem that the plan worked, as in the year 2020, the Jericho
Research Site heard about a child growing. And after some research and tests on
the baby, on the behalf of the parents, they found out that it was thanks to
the L’Cie Project - although they didn’t tell the parents this of course. They
just told them that he seemed to have a gene that allowed him to have
supernatural powers, and they would keep an eye on him to make sure that he was
fine.
 
And so over the following years, to the Enclaves delight and sometimes
distress, more and more of these children were being born, and not just in the
USA, but all around the world. Keeping track of them was near impossible with
the number of them coming about. It would seem that those that got the serum
and didn’t have children with supernatural powers, had children years later
with supernatural powers. It would seem that DNA was still playing a key part
to their plans, as some kids had a gene that gave them supernatural powers
whilst others didn’t.
 
Not that it mattered to the Enclave, as it was all part of their plan. By the
time that their plan was ready to execute, they would only be picking the best
of the best, and those who can help them to rebuild on a new planet.
 
Now that they needed more energy and other things, the Enclave invested in a
new company that came out in the last fifty years, Poseidon Energy. They have a
few Oil Rigs to get their own oil, and they are one of the few Gas Stations
that were competing with the Gas Station called Red Rocket in the East.
 
And because the main and public research centre Big MT needed better security,
they also invested in an already known construction company known as M&M
Construction. Which Big MT would help over time, in return M&M Construction
would help with building better security for the research centre.
 
Then there was company called General Atomics International, that the Enclave
was keeping an eye on. The reason for this was because they were working on
robots mainly for the household known as Miss Nanny and Mister Handy. They were
floating chrome plated robots in the shape of a sphere, it also had three
retractable eyes and three retractable arms with prongs at the end to match,
and were powered by powerful jet-powered engine.
 
Then there was West Tec, a new defence contractor research facility, they were
initially divided into two sections, ‘Advanced Weapons’and ‘Biomedical Sciences
Research.’Whilst no real interest to them, as they had Big MT, the Enclave
decided to keep an eye on them. As there was another research centre in the US,
L.O.B. Enterprises, who researched and developed weapons for the country and
sometimes worked with Big MT.
 
But the problem was there were rumours that L.O.B. had ties with China. Whilst
nothing has happened yet, they were keeping an eye on them just in case they
decided to help China. Even nearly fifty years since it was founded, the
Enclave was watching West Tec. So far they seemed to be loyal to the USA.
 
In 2025, the Enclave founded a company known as Orbital Elements, which their
public belief was that the future was in the stars, and they were going to help
with that. So they started to do research that would help build on planets. The
Enclave knew this was risky, but for their future plans and that people were
researching alternate power source, they needed Helium 3 and a lot of it. And
seeing it was rare on Earth, the only place to get it was the moon and so
needed a base/factory on the moon to mine it, so needed someone to do it, which
was where Orbital Elements came in.
 
The company would be build the things needed to live on the moon, so that
people could mine for Helium 3. Sure they could use Mister Handy’s, which they
would in most part, but the Enclave wanted a fail-safe for their people to live
should things go to hell before they were ready and a nuclear war started. But
they didn’t tell the public this of course, just that it was a hope for a
better future where one day people could live.
 
In the year 2038, Orbital Elements sent a small team of twenty people to the
moon, to see if it was possible to live on the moon long term. To help them,
twenty Mister Handy’s were sent with them to help with things that they
couldn't for one reason or another.
 
The first thing that they did was to create a dome in one of the small craters,
where they lived and held their things. And over the years, using magic and
alien tech, they used the biggest crater on the far side of the moon, the
Aitken basin, to create the main base. They began with creating hydroponic
farms in the nearby craters, these outside firms were for the air they would
need, and they would be maintained by Mister Handy’s. They also used elements
within the moon to create air too.
 
They also had another crater for a waste disposal factory too, where all the
daily waste would go and be used for different reasons. Because some of this
waste could be used as water, and it was located near an icy area of the moon,
they also created a Water Treatment Plant, they created high tech water
purification, to make sure the water was useable. In this crater also held the
Ice Mine and Ice Processing Plant, which would send the ready ice to the Water
Treatment Plant.
 
There were other buildings that were built of course, but they were the main
ones that were built so far. They also built a small mining site at the Sea of
Tranquillity to mine Helium 3 for research purposes. Although they also mined
iron, gold and other rare material, most of it was used to build the moonbase
as they had limited resources being sent from Earth either because it took fuel
to get it to them, or as years passed with resources beginning to become a
problem. Any important resource or tech they needed, they would trade with the
resources they get from mining the moon.
 
In the year 2039, a division of Poseidon Energy called Prometheus Coal, opens a
coal mine in central Utah. As a result a small village is settled nearby called
Eagle Rock. it was within these few years that created another shadow company
called Vault-Tec, who started the project, Project Safehouse.
 
Around this time the Enclave knew that the nuclear war that they fear might
happen was getting closer, and so set up vaults around the country to protect
so many people. It was going to be known as “Project Safehouse,” and it was
designed to protect the American population from nuclear holocaust.
 
At the time the project was unofficial, as the government didn’t see the need
for these vaults right then, so they had to get help elsewhere to help get the
money to build the vaults. One of the projects that they did to earn money, was
in 2040, the United States government commandeered Tibbets Prison and Alcatraz
Island Prison, where with Vault-Tec and Poseidon Oil, subsidiary of Poseidon
Energy, rebuilt the prisons with better tech.
 
Tibbets was always a military prison, holding some of the United States' most
dangerous criminals, and only needed some better tech to keep these dangerous
criminals from trying to escape. As for Alcatraz Island Prison, whilst it had
been closed for nearly a hundred years, they wanted to reopen and imprison the
most dangerous magical criminals, which people were calling L’Cies.
 
Now one of the main problems with the vaults was how many vaults there would
need, with the population nearing almost four hundred million. To hold that
many, they would have needed over four hundred thousand Vaults to protect every
man, woman and child. Sure the plan was that each vault would only hold about a
thousand people, but even if they decide to add more people in the vaults, the
main problem was locations. Vault-Tec were limited as to where they could build
a vault and in turn limit them as to how many people can live in the vault.
 
So there would be some kind of lottery for the vaults, some people could be in
for sure because they would be the best to restart the world. For the rest of
the population, it would be most likely some sort of lottery for them to enter
one of these vaults.
 
Although most of the Vault-Tec's high-ranking personnel had no intention of
submitting to a lottery and living underground with a bunch of human cattle in
the intentionally defective vault facilities that they had constructed. So
instead, they created their own private emergency shelter facility for their
top employees and their families, removed from the larger vault network, and
kept secret from the world.
 
And in 2042, a man by the name of Robert Edwin House, founded RobCo Industries
in his hometown of Las Vegas at the age of twenty-two. This company was
something that the Enclave watched very carefully and used in the years to
come, as it was one of the few robotics that was the best at what they do. If
the rumours about the man was true, he was a self made man, as he was cheated
out of his inheritance by his half-brother, Anthony, when their parents died in
a freak accident involving an autogyro and a lightning strike. The House family
owned the company H&H Tools Factory.
 
Wanting to prove himself and show he didn’t need his family money, and show up
his half-brother, Robert worked hard to attend the Commonwealth Institute of
Technology. And after even more hard work, and getting as much support that he
could get, he founded RobCo Industries.
 
It was now the 31st of July 2050, and whilst there have been some setbacks from
time to time, but they were most proud of their achievement of the L’Cies. For
these people who had powers to be called a L’Cies, it was down to them, as they
were able to convince people in power to call them this.
 
As to date, of the world population, over thirty percent of the world was
L’Cies, and they suspected that by 2100, they hoped the world population would
have at least eighty percent L’Cies. But because of how many there was so far,
it meant that the Communist had a few L’Cies themselves, which could become a
problem in the near future.
 
The L’Cie Project went way better than any of those in the project could ever
have suspected, as when they started it all, they weren’t sure whether the
powers would appear or not. But as years went by, powers appeared that they
were suspecting and powers they weren’t, along with some side-effects to these
powers they didn’t suspect.
 
For example, there was one person who was a wood elementalist, when his powers
awakened at the age of seven, when powers seemed to normally appear, his whole
body became wood and lived on as a wood man. This shocked the Enclave, as this
is something they weren’t expecting, and none of their tests showed how he
lived like that, just that he could. There were many like this, even one who
could control the plant life.
 
There was all sorts of powers that they suspected, like elementals and the
other basics powers, but then there were other powers, like the power over
construction. Whilst the basic users could create basic weapons and tools, the
more advance users can construct building depending on the resources around
them. These L’Cies were the most useful of the new magical users, as people,
the Enclave included, wanted them to help with building towns and other stuff
like vaults in the case of Vault-Tec. So these L’Cies were in huge demand, when
someone found one, and got a lot of work out of it.
 
On another note about the L’Cies, there were some families who wanted to try
and have children with two powers. Whilst it was rare for it to happen, it
wasn’t unheard of every so often. But there was some who hunted for the right
partner so they could, with luck, have a child with two powers that matched.
Like ice and fire, or earth and fire and other powers that worked together.
 
Now there was Harry Potter, boy was he a bother, if they could have the Enclave
would have killed the man. But with the ass being a true immortal, he couldn’t
be killed easily, not only that, but the higher ups wanted him alive. They had
hoped thanks to him being immortal, they could brainwash him and make him their
loyal super soldier.
 
But over some time the people within the Jericho facility found that it would
be useless to brainwash him, as they found that Potter had a will of iron and
was impossible to brainwash, and he often tried to escape when he could. But
the higher ups didn’t really care about this, as they wanted them to keep on
trying to brainwash Potter, and make him more powerful if possible.
 
This was something the scientists at Jericho’s facility was strongly against,
as  they feared that making Harry stronger before he was under their control
was a bad idea. But the higher ups didn’t seem to care about this, and ordered
them to go ahead with their plans.
 
Although the scientists were against the idea of making Potter stronger, they
soon found it very useful. As they used Harry as a guinea pig, to test their
artificial arms and eyes, try and give him some L’Cie powers. The first thing
they did was to remove Harry’s damaged eye and replaced it with an artificial
one, it was from the alien tech that they were working with. The new eye would
allow Harry to see much better than before, and have abilities to see during
the night, and have infrared vision naming a few, and over the years as they
worked on other eyes for certain people the eye got even better.
 
Then there was the artificial arm, whilst Harry had healing abilities to heal
himself over time, the Jericho facility wanted to see if attaching an
artificial arm on it, would stop this or the new arm would fall off. They were
thankful that with the new artificial arm attached, it seemed to stop the
healing process, which they wanted. At first the artificial arm just gave him
strength, but over time they were able to create more things for the arm. One
of the things was a hologram map, whilst another ability he had with this arm
was allow him to hack computers easier and pick locks with ease too.
 
Then there was them giving Potter some L’Cie powers, they knew that it had to
be something that should they be able to brainwash him, the powers would be
useful to the needs of the Enclave. In the end though, they decided they would
give him the L’Cie power of construction, power to create his own weapons and
base which they thought was useful. As if Harry was in the field, he could
create bases on the go and use the ability to create weapons and other things
to defend himself. It took a while, as they had to make the L’Cie powers work
with Harry’s own magic, but after a few years, they were able to combine the
two powers together.
 
Anyway, it was now 31st of July 2050, and the director of the Jericho facility,
simply know as Director, was in his office looking at the latest reports about
Harry Potter and his training. Whilst it would be his eightieth birthday today,
the old man still looked like he was twenty-five. This was what frustrated not
only the Director, but everyone at the Jericho facility. As ever since they
learnt about Potter’s immortality about forty years ago, they were never able
to find out why this was, not even after the numerous amount of tests that
they’ve done on Potter. It was like it went deeper than magic, deeper than
anything they could think of. Because of this, everyone was frustrated as they
couldn't find the answer to this mystery.
 
And as the Director thought about the last Director, he pitied them, as he’s
only been the new Director for over a year and Potter had tried and failed to
escape the facility at least three times already. If the past Director’s
reports were right, the damn immortal had to escape a few times a month. The
only time he didn't was when he was recovering from tests or operations and
going through rehab to get used to the new arms and eyes that he gets every few
years when they make new ones, or in the last year new powers.
 
For years before he became the new Director, he told the old Director that they
should put Potter into a magical stasis, to stop him from escaping. But they
wouldn’t listen, saying that the higher ups didn’t want Potter in stasis for
some reason or another. But now that he was the Director, as soon as the test
were done to make sure Potter could handle his new powers, he was putting him
into stasis. He didn’t care what the higher ups wanted, with everything they
were giving Potter, the risk was too high of him escaping or harming everyone.
So it was for the best that he was put into a magical stasis as soon as
possible.
 
His thoughts were interrupted by a alarm, this alarm was to alert that someone
was trying to escape. Whilst it was normally Potter who did so, at times there
were others who tried to escape whilst Potter was locked up or recovering from
ops and tests that they done to him. “What’s going on?” asked the Director as
he hit button on his disk, and waited for a reply.
 
After a few minutes a reply came as someone said through the intercom, “It is
Spectre, he has escaped again.”
 
“Damn it.” cursed the Director, like everything in the facility everyone had a
code-name, so that no one knew who anyone was, even the test subjects were
given a code-name and Spectre was Harry Potter. He was something that was
feared, and before the tests were considered as dangerous, but more so now with
the upgrades they had given him. “So just capture him like normal.”
 
“We’re trying,” explained the voice over the intercom, “but he was somehow able
to escape to the surface into the town.”
 
“God damn it!” the Director cursed angrily, “Ok get the Hunters out there and
get him and put him in a magical stasis.”
 
“But Director, orders were…” began the voice, but the Director cut them off as
he said, “I know what the standing orders are, but Potter is becoming a problem
and unless we’re running tests or he is training to get use to whatever we do
to him, we need to keep him asleep. With him escaping into town, he has put us
at risk, and forced me to activate the Evacuation Protocol. We can’t risk that
he has told anyone about this place.”
 
The Evacuation Protocol was to destroy all the records that they have, and all
the non-important test subjects. This was to make sure no one could find out
what they’ve done, or learn who they were. As no one could learn about the
Enclave, or their part of creating the L’Cies and the other things that they’ve
done, and so they had to destroy anything that would connect them to those
things, as for the facility, they would block the entrance just in case they
could return and use it again in the future.
 
It wasn’t something that the Director wanted to do, but with Potter out there,
and most likely went to the town for help to find out where he was. Seeing that
they couldn’t kill the whole town, they had to begin the Evacuation Protocol
and send the Hunters to find him and bring him back here so they could
relocate. Now the Hunters were their own L’Cies that they brought up to find
and capture other L’Cies, and do tasks that only a L’Cie could do.
 
So, a few hours later all the data that the Jericho facility had been
destroyed, and all apart for the important test subjects were also destroyed.
And as for Harry, he was placed in a magical stasis, so that he could no longer
be a danger to the next facility. Over the years he would be awaken and tested
on a few times, and given new gear.
 
However, at some point by 2077 when the Great War started, Harry’s body would
be moved into Vault 111 for some unknown reason where it would stay until 2287
where he would be awoken, with all his equipment that he gained over the years.
At which point his new life will begin.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends chapter five of Magical
Fallout, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed
writing it. And if you did enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know what
you think, but no flames, as they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are guest
reviews. I have to admit that I wasn't happy with this chapter, whilst I got
everything I can think of added, I'm not happy about the layout of it and
wasn’t sure how to alter it, I know it could be better. So I am sorry about
this chapter…
 
The idea of the town Jericho, was from a show by the same name, a show that
tries to show what happened after a few places in USA was hit by nuclear bombs.
Not as bad as Fallout, but life changing nonetheless.
 
Now I know that in some games that there are a few people connected to past
games somehow, like Kellogg who was born from the New California Republic on
the West Coast. But what I want to know is that what other characters like
Kellogg, who was born say was born in Shady Sands, but we see in another game
altogether.
 
I would like to have a list, so that I could try and write them in, in one of
my chapters and build them up a bit, before we see them again down the road. I
hope you can give me a list of these people.
 
This is something I found about Ghouls and the believe how they came about, or
at least one of possible believe about how they came about.
 
Over the years, different people have been in charge of Fallout canon and have
come up with different interpretations on this subject. Mutant creatures and
where they come from is one of the most controversial topics in Fallout canon
and it's very easy to annoy veteran scholars of the setting by getting things
wrong or even just partially right.
 
First, Chris Avellone seemed to prefer the "FEV explains everything" theory of
mutation. He suggests that when the Glow was hit by the Chinese warheads, the
tanks holding the virus burst and the FEV was vaporized and shot into the air.
It was then mutated by the radiation from the blast, and went on to help
radiation create the various mutant animals we know and love as well as ghouls.
 
The problem with this theory is that first off, it's a bit redundant since
Fallout radiation is already fully capable of producing the mutations seen in
the game's world. Second, we know from the Lieutenant's mention of inoculation
from mutant FEV that any airborne strain of FEV could not cause these
mutations. If it did, why didn't any humans mutate from exposure to the
airborne FEV? Furthermore, if radscorpions, geckos, molerats, deathclaws and
other creepie-crawlies are all products of FEV, how can they breed as much as
they do? Remember, FEV causes sterility. Avellone eventually admitted that he
was wrong, and that most mutations in the Fallout world were caused by the
ambient radiation.
 
Here's my thoughts about this, I agree that the FEV is the reason for most of
the Ghouls and the other mutations out there. Now many might wonder why this is
seeing that FEV causes sterility. I have three letters for you D.N.A people.
 
If the radiation was the sole reason behind Ghouls, then I have to ask, why
aren't there shit load more of them out there in the world. With how many bombs
hit the country, you would have thought the game world would be overrun with
Ghouls. So this is why I think that D.N.A and the altered airborne FEV comes
into play.
 
I believe that there was a gene in their D.N.A that allows a person to become a
Ghoul or not, and that the radiated FEV activities the gene so people becomes a
Ghoul, and depending how much radiated FEV people exposed to, well either make
them a normal Ghoul that keeps their intelligence and mind, or becomes a
mindless Feral Ghoul. And as for future Ghouls, seeing that people would now
have the radiated FEV version in them, but not the gene to become a Ghoul, it
could be a waiting game of a child being born with the gene and have it
activated by being close to high enough of radiation to turn them.
 
The D.N.A theory can also explain why some humans can supernatural powers, and
why being exposed to FEV humans become sterile whilst animals don't. Let's
start with humans with supernatural powers, it's very simple, instead of the
gene to make them into Ghouls, they gain supernatural powers. Now as to why
humans become sterile whilst animals don't, again very simple, our genes are
different, so whilst we humans are exposed to FEV, they alter our D.N.A so that
we can no longer have children, whilst animal D.N.A is different so that they
can. And because they are a different species, and affected differently to the
altered FEV.
 
And why the FEV affected the USA like it did, either different groups got their
hands on it. Or West Tec was transporting the FEV to the other side of the
country, or had it in different warehouses across the country for whatever
reasons, when the bombs hit and got altered to.
 
Would you agree with this theory or not, or do you have one of your own to
explain it? I know that there are some areas that the FEV might not have
ranched, which is why I said the altered FEV affected most but not all. The
only one I couldn’t explain is where no air vents, or how air could get to
people.
 
In the next chapter, there’ll be another time skip, but this one will have an
OC joining the Spectres, and meeting up with Nate and Nora. And we learn a few
new abilities, and tech that came to the public.
***** (Pre-War Saga - Part 7!) Chapter 6 - Kaidan Alenko. *****
Author’s_Note: Other than telling you what happened between 2050 to 2075, this
chapter is mainly about the OC who’ll be the main character of the next saga:
Aftermath. This chapter will also have info about the Spectre, and what they
are about and why whilst they have better technology, the rest of the world
don’t. So I hope you like it.

21st_of_June_2075:
 
It has been over twenty years since the incident in Jericho, where Harry tried
to escape the secret underground facility, but failed. But it did do a few
things, first it let people living on the surface to find out about the
facility, and so forcing the facility to close down and move. No one was able
to find out much about the facility, as all the information was erased, and all
the non important experiments were terminated and the rest was moved elsewhere.
 
So whilst searching the place, the citizens of Jericho found dead bodies and
destroyed equipment that they didn’t know how to fix as they were out of their
knowledge how to fix them. And seeing that they couldn’t fix the equipment,
they couldn’t use the place, so after giving the dead a proper burial, they
blocked the entrances until they knew how to fix the equipment. But for the
rest of the years, life in Jericho returned more or less back to normal.
 
The second thing that happened during the years, was that the Wizarding World
was exposed. There was two reasons this happened, the first was that when the
British learnt about Harry Potter still being alive, and remembered what he had
done, they tried to find him and return him to England at any cost so he could
pay what he done. The other main reason they were discovered was because the
Wizarding World got in a fight with the L’Cies, as there were those who had
enough people knowing about magic and tried to do something about it.
 
The Wizarding World fought against the L’Cies and was planning to use a
powerful ritual to make people forget about magic, a ritual that was used years
ago to make them forget in the dark ages. But what the Wizards and Witches
didn’t realize was that the L’Cies were more powerful than them. So in the end,
whilst they were able to defeat a few of them, in the end all they did was to
expose the Wizarding World instead of hiding themselves.
 
Over the years, most the Purebloods and the Half-Bloods that were raised by
Pureblood, found it hard to adjust, and they slowly died out. But for the
Purebloods that were able to adjust, even though they kept to themselves most
of the time, were able to work with the Muggle World from time to time. As for
Muggleborns and Half-Bloods raised within the Muggle World, they had an easy
time of fitting in and was happier for it, as they didn’t have to hide who they
were because of the old laws.
 
Now for the United States though, in 2051, the first public sign of problems
was with the resources, as when they had to protect their business interests
and their oil supply, the United States began to exert increasing pressure on
Mexico, citing the political instability and pollution stemming from Mexico as
a threat to the United States. There were various economic sanctions served to
destabilize Mexico, and the United States military had to enter Mexico to keep
the oil refineries running and making sure oil and fuel continue to make their
way north across the border without much trouble, but it was all at Mexico's
expense though.
 
It wasn’t until a year later when people found out how bad it was, when a
television documentary revealed the withered husk of the Texas oil fields,
which showed shortage of oil within the American households and reveals how
deep the energy and resource crisis really ran. Some people blamed it on the
moonbase project, and they need to mine for Helium 3. What people didn’t
realize was how they needed Helium 3, and it was mainly found on the moon. But
then again, when faced with a crisis where energy and resources was running
low, they’ll put blame on anything - in which case they were partly right.
 
During 2052 though, whilst there was a last manned mission to the Moon, which
the government hoped would help the problem with the low resources that they
had. However it was little too late, as in April of that year, the Resource
Wars begin. The reason for this was because many of the smaller nations went
bankrupt, and Europe, dependent on oil imports from the Middle East, responds
to the Middle East's rising oil prices with military force. Which started the
long drawn-out war between the European Commonwealth and the Middle East.
 
As the U.S. were trying to find more oil, they found that the Chinese
geologists and petroleum exploration engineers were working on tapping the last
remaining oil fields deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, but these efforts were
sabotaged by American spies. This paved the way for the U.S. energy company
Poseidon Oil to claim the resource and erect an oil rig of their own.
 
However though, because of the war during the months of May through July: The
United Nations, who were already suffering, finally began to collapse. In a
series of heated debates about the war, many of the nations withdrew from the
organization as the U.N. tries to keep the peace. Sadly on the 26th of July of
that year, the United Nations disbanded.
 
It didn’t help with the fact that in the early stages of the war, a new
socially transmitted plague, simply called New Plague, appeared. Because of
this, to keep others from catching this plague, the United States closes its
borders so no one can come in or out of the states, and the first-ever national
quarantine is declared. This made things difficult with trading with other
counties, as many feared they might catch the New Plague and so made getting
resources harder. But there were a few brave souls were willing to trade with
the United States, as long as they didn’t have to go near to the dock workers
when unloading their stock.
 
Each year tens of thousand of people died, so the West Tek Research Facility
started working on a cure for the New Plague. Despite their efforts, they were
unable to find the cure and the plague continued to spread into the 2060s,
fueling national paranoia. At the time, the facility reached this conclusion,
many people began suspecting that the plague was engineered by the government
to help save on resources, and riots soon began because of it.
 
Because of this, the government used the Plague as an excuse to register
civilians, claiming a symptom of the plague was ‘socialist thoughts’ and
advocating isolation: people should stay indoors, read books and avoid ‘Ice
cream socials.’Furthermore, people were told that if they believed they were
infected, they were to contact a disease control center, such as the disaster
relief outpost in Point Lookout, for isolation immediately. Whilst a few
believed this rubbish, and knew that it was the government's way of trying to
control them in some way, there were a lot who were sheep who believe these
words and followed their advice. However, the ones who didn’t chose to hold
protests against the government for imposing their will upon them.
 
By the 2070’s, whilst the New Plague was still about, for some reason it slowly
died down and just killing a few thousand people a year, depending where they
lived. And because of this, the borders were still up around the U.S. and so
they needed to clear a Health Check before leaving.
 
In January of 2054 there was a limited nuclear exchange in the Middle East,
that raised some fears throughout the world. And so because of this, the war
and the plague, the United States finally decided to officially sets Project
Safehouse in motion. The project, financed by junk bonds, is designed to create
shelters, called Vaults, for the populace in the event of a nuclear war or or
should the plague become worse. And so construction began late in 2054 and
proceeds rapidly due to advances in construction technology. Some Construction
L’Cies, as people now called them, helped with creating some of these Vaults.
 
The war between European and Middle Eastern lasted until 2060, when the oil
fields in the Middle East runs dry. The reasons behind the war, was soon
forgotten as both sides are reduced almost to ruin. The European Commonwealth
dissolves into quarreling nation states, fighting over the remaining resources.
 
During that time, Isla Negra Holdings began to take control of Point Lookout,
Maryland as the New Plague devastates the region. The Anchorage Front Line is
established, as the United States increases its military presence in Alaska to
protect its last few oil resources that they had. Although the Anchorage Front
Line caused tensions between the United States and Canada, as the United States
attempts to pressure Canada into allowing American military units to guard the
Alaskan pipeline.
 
But there was some big news in the science community, about the first
artificial intelligence being born. Whilst it was quickly halted because of its
limited memory constraints, but the discovery paved the way for future A.I.
research in laboratories throughout the United States.
 
Now in the 2060s, the traffic on the streets all over of the world slowly
stopped moving, as fuel had become too precious to waste on automobiles, so
alternatives was finally explored. The research that was done over the years
for electric and fusion cars finally came to light and begun to be built, but
factories could only make limited amounts while conserving fuel. And as time
passed, U.S. economy teeters on bankruptcy, and so the pressure for alternative
power such as fusion power increased.
 
Over the next few years, the Resource Wars was slowly being forgotten by most
people other than those who were in it. Thanks to the help of the Construction
L’Cies, the construction of most of the vaults that were being built at the
time were slowly being completed, and so the next lot could be started. Because
of the limited locations, cost and resources, they could only do so many. So
far they had done around a hundred or so, and knew they could only do another
hundred or two. The plan for thirteen of them were that they would be the main
vault for the area, and when it was safe to do so, would be the key to
rebuilding the world should the worse happen and it ended.
 
With the fear or another war in the near future, and the New Plague becoming
worse once again, drills begin in the cities that had completed Vaults. However
though, with the increasing frequency of the drills, instead of the effect of
good and getting ready, it had the opposite effect the ‘the boy who cried wolf’
effect, and the turnouts for drills trickle off as the years go on.
 
Also in these years, Robert House, the founder of RobCo Industries, concludes
that atomic war would devastate the Earth within fifteen years after every
projection he ran deemed it a mathematical certainty, but everyone thought he
was mad. There were rumours that House was planning to build a wall around New
Vegas, and some high powered laser cannons, but as of yet no one seen such
things being build. Although he was doing some remodelling around his hotel and
casino, Lucky 38, no cannons as anyone could see, but the frame work, so that
if he was right and the area was nuked, the place would still be standing.
 
In 2065, due to enormous demands for electricity from over seventeen million
population, a nuclear reactor in New York City goes supercritical, almost
causing a meltdown. Because of this near meltdown, the government brings into
effect power rationing to all over the U.S, which made many people unhappy
about it, as they didn't like to limit their power. There were a few people who
pay heavy fines for over using their rations. The term "Hot Summer" is used to
refer to this incident.
 
Thankful with the discovery of the Wizarding World, there was some breathing
room for the resources, not much of one but some breathing room nonetheless. As
they were able to mine some of their metal mines, along with a few other mines
that was helpful to their needs. But the problem was that there was a limited
amount of resources to be used in the Wizarding World as well, but what they
were able to get, helped a lot.
 
In the same year, the increasing need for mobility in the United States
Increasing need for mobility in the United States mechanized cavalry leads the
military to focus the efforts on creating a man-based tank - essentially, a
two-legged walking armoured unit: Power Armour. Sure they had the exoskeleton
that was very popular, in many areas, but they were limited when it came to
armour and the fame work. So the military wanted to design something better
when it come to the new suits. By the the 2067, after some research from the
Big MT, several prototypes were developed, but many of them though proved to be
unworkable in the field. These prototypes pave the way for future advances in
military, the new Magitek (a term for using magic and tech together,)
construction and fusion technology.
 
In 2066 though, the Resource Wars restarted. It all started in Spring, when the
oil resources had dried up all across the globe, and China's fossil fuel
dependency causes an energy crisis in the nation. In Summer, adding further
insult to the Sino-American relations, the first crude fusion cell is unveiled,
one of the results of the power armour project. Devices designed for the fusion
cell begin to be manufactured. Incorporating fusion power into the general U.S.
infrastructure begins, but the process is too slow to supply power to the
regions that need it. There were also talks about a Magitek item Arcane Core or
ArCore for short, alternative power source, which would be the key part to
other Magitek items.
 
Than in Winter of that year, China, incensed by the United States' takeover of
the Alaskan Pipeline fourteen years earlier, invades Alaska. The Anchorage
Front Line becomes a true battleground. The problem for the United States, was
getting there to defend their land. As they couldn’t travel across the sea, as
they would be open to attacks, and there was the fear of China attacking them
with their submarines. So the only safe way was sending troops through Canada,
which was a bit of a problem, as with their past history neither really trusted
the other. So it was no surprise that tension between the United States and
Canada were rising, as Canada is reluctant to allow American troops onto
Canadian soil or to allow American planes to fly over Canadian airspace.
 
Now over the next year, the first suit of T-45d Power Armour was deployed in
Alaska, to help to retake Alaska from the Chinese. Whilst it lacked good
mobility, the Power Armour was incredibly effective against Chinese tanks and
infantry. Its ability to carry heavy ordnance, became key in various localized
conflicts, and it had the power to destroy entire towns without endangering the
wearer. They even create an anti-tank and air Power Armour, which stands twelve
feet tall, had two high-calibre three-barrelled rotary guns mounted on its
forearms, and two rocket launchers mounted on the unit's shoulders.
 
Because of this, China rushes to try and create their own version of Power
Armour, but seeing that they were many years behind the United States, when
they created their own version, they kept them in their homeland. As they knew
that their Power Armour would be no use against the U.S. Power Armour. So other
than their own Power Armour, they researched other things to fight against the
U.S.
 
Over the following years, the U.S. military presence in Canada and its
increasing consumption of resources for the war effort, started to take its
toll on the country. Vast stretches of timberland was destroyed, and other
resources in Canada was stretched to the breaking point. Many Americans refer
to Canada as Little America, and any protests that the Canadian had, went
unheard.
 
Because of this, a growing number of protests and riots started to happen in
several of the Canadian cities. In retaliation for this, and in the hopes to
end the war, a group of fanatical citizens attempt to break in and sabotage the
Alaskan pipeline. Because of this action, this give the U.S an excuse to
finalize its annexation of Canada, which they had already thought about a few
years back.
 
During this time, the Chinese unable to create a powerful Power Armour of their
own, researched and created a stealth armour, known as Hei Gui Stealth Armour.
Took a few months for the United States to find out about the Hei Gui Stealth
Armour, but once they found about it, and got their hands on a suit, they give
it to RobCo to look at it. Over time a Robert Mayflower, whilst they couldn’t
create their own stealth armour, they created a personal stealth device worn on
one's wrist called a Stealth Boy. It generates a modulating field that
transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other making
the bearer almost invisible to the untrained eye, the device allowed a person
to become almost invisible for a few hours.
 
However though using the Stealth Boy had some side-effects, prolonged, repeated
usage of Stealth Boys have been found to have unpleasant mental side-effects,
causing anxiety, paranoia, wild mood swings, and even schizophrenia and
dementia. Although these effects take a long time to manifest, depending on the
person, it was policy to make sure that soldiers don’t use them too often
unless they had to.
 
As China becomes increasingly aggressive with their use of biological weapons,
the United States government felt that a countermeasure was needed. So they
hired West-Tek to research the Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP,) to find cures
to any of the biological attacks.
 
In 2074, contrary to their claims of seeking only to retake Alaska from the
Reds, the American Government sent Power Armour units, infantry and mechanized
divisions are deployed to China, in the hopes that doing this they could gain
some kind of leverage and stop the war. But unfortunately though, they become
bogged down on the mainland, putting a further drain on American resources and
supply lines.
 
And in June of that year, negotiations concerning oil between the U.S. and
other world powers comes to a dramatic end. No one is really sure what
happened, as it was a closed session, but after a much heated debate, the
President of the U.S. stormed out of the meeting. Later on TV, he issued a
statement declaring that the last known supply of oil in the world, would be
used exclusively by the U.S. and that the U.S. would not sell or trade any oil
to outside parties, as they needed it more.
 
Seeing how morales were running in the country, the government had the
Construction L’Cies to help updating the main cities and town to try and raise
the morale of its people. As the Construction L’Cies were able to create new
things out of the old resources, they wouldn’t need much to create a better
future for the country and help raise morale.
 
It is now 21st of June 2075, where our chapter finally start and we can see the
OC that we’ll see in the next saga of this story. This character is Kaidan
Alenko Jr, Kaidan is thirty-five year old, with dark brown hair and brown eyes,
he had a few scars across his face. Kaidan’s parents were Kaidan Alenko Sr. and
Ashley Alenko nee Williams, both used to be in the military, Kaidan was a
Lieutenant Colonel whilst Ashley was a Staff Sergeant Combat Medic. So with his
parents and grandparents were in the military, when it was his time to join the
military, he was more than happy to do so.
 
Now Kaidan had no brothers or sisters, as before he was born, his father was
killed when on his tour with his squad. And after his death, his mother didn’t
date that often as she couldn’t find anyone that she liked that she liked his
father. And those that she did find she liked, she wouldn’t be allowed to have
another child with them. Because of the low resources in the world, there was a
law stating that parents could only have two children per family. And most
people that Ashley dated, already had two children and so she couldn’t have
more with them.
 
At first, people didn’t like the idea, and at the start many were against the
idea, even if it was to save on resources, they didn’t like the idea of being
told how many children they could or could not have. Some people tried to fight
against it, but as soon as people after people being sent to prison for
fighting against this, or having more than two children, they knew it was
pointless to fight against it and went with the flow. The fighting about the
law slowed, and after a few years, the fighting finally ceased.
 
Kaidan and his parents were from Kansas, Texas Commonwealth. The Texas
Commonwealth was the main site for oil mining, it had the most most oil rigs
than anywhere else, before it became a withered husk that it became in 2050’s,
as people used the oil up. Whilst the oil didn’t fully dry up until the 2050’s,
it started to do so many years before, which the governors of Texas tried to
hide how bad it really was.

Kaidan had a really hard life, at first it wasn’t too bad, but slowly as the
oil started to dry up things got hard, cost of living in the once proper
Commonwealth, became harsh. That didn't mean Kaidan and his mum had an easy
life, they had to scrape and save, and would have go without food once in a
while. More often than not, you would have to do whatever it took to live,
stealing became some of a norm to get by, and women who didn’t have husbands or
a decent job, would have to sell their own bodies to get money to look after
themselves and their children if they had any.
 
Lucky for Kaidan’s mum, seeing that she was a Combat Medic, after some basic
training, she became a doctor in the local hospital in Kansas. That didn't mean
Kaidan and his mum had an easy life, they had to scrape and save, and would
have go without food once in a while. Kaidan even went and steal things to make
things easier for him and his mum. No life wasn't easy at all for them,
Kaidan’s mum at one point thought about selling her body to get some money so
that her son got what he needed, namely food and drink. But before Ashley could
go through with it, when Kaidan was twelve year old, and when news came out
that Texas ran out of oil, she was one of the first lot of people who died from
the New Plague that appeared that year.
 
So with Kaidan being an orphan, his life became even harder, as he went to a
government's orphanage. Because of the low resources all around the world, the
orphanage wasn’t all that good, and he got into fights a lot more within and
out of the orphanage. Not only that, but he also had to steal more often to get
by, mainly food and drink, and sometimes for clothes.
 
But at the age of seventeen, instead of continuing with High School, because of
the Resource Wars, Kaidan was enrolled into the military. Which he was happy
about, as he would be following his parents, and have a better life. And for
the next twelve years, Kaidan learnt to control his anger and get into less
fights, and he had a roof over his head and three square meals a day unless
they were on a mission or under attack. His last mission for the military, was
to his shock an outer base mission.
 
It would seem unknown to many on Earth, the mining base on the moon was being
attacked. No one knew about this as they didn’t want to start a panic, as they
didn’t want people to know that Helium 3, what was used to create Power Armour,
was at risk. The attack was from the Reds and their allies, they had hoped that
destroying the base, they could the United States using the Power Armour and so
help them to win the war. But that didn’t happen, as the Americans stopped the
attack but somehow the public found out about the attack on the moon.
 
Now after the mission on the moon, Kaidan decided he had enough, and wanted a
more peaceful life, where he could get married and have kids of his own. Once
he left the military, he joined the firefighters and started a new life in the
Eastern Commonwealth, New York to be more precise. That only lasted until last
year, as when he was on call, his team was called out for a warehouse fire. But
as they were putting the fire out, they had to go in as someone was still
inside. So it was Kaidan who went in to try and save the person, while the
others were dealing with the fire.
 
Now normally, a firefighter would use a fighter exoskeleton when they go inside
a burning building, but thanks to cut backs from the government, their
department had limited amount and they were already being used. So when he got
in the warehouse, he slowly made his way to the office where the shouts were
coming from - the office was on the second floor of the place. But as he was
climbing the stairs to help them though, everything went to hell fast. As the
last thing he remembered seeing was the stairs collapsing, along with office,
before he blacked out.
 
The next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital, with a missing left
arm. He found out that as the building collapsed, the debris fell all on top of
him, trapping his arm. Because of the fire, and how bad the arm was trapped,
they had to cut his arm off or he would have died. As for people in the office,
they died as soon as the office collapsed, and there was nothing they could do
about it.
 
So for the past year, Kaidan was recovering and out of work, but because he was
injured in the line of work, he got some help. Not much help because of the low
resources, but some help either way. Kaidan knew that he would have to find
some work, or he would return to a life of stealing, but with a missing arm,
finding work would be very hard as not many people want a one armed person.
 
However though, a few months ago he got a letter from a company called
Apotheosis, offering him a job as a security personnel, because of his
background in the military. Apotheosis was a company that thought that through
technology, they could become higher beings better than the L’Cies someday.
They design, create and install high-tech implants and artificial limbs for
people. But the problem was that only the rich could afford them, which is why
he couldn’t get one, as he didn’t have the money to get one. But from the
letter he got, should he get the job, they would offer him an artificial arm
for free, as long as he worked for them for the minimum of six years. Which at
this point, if he wanted, he could leave the company if he wanted.
 
At the mere thought of getting a free artificial arm, was enough for Kaidan to
accept the job interview. He knew it was highly unlikely for him to get the
job, but as they say, if you don’t try, you don’t get. But he was also worried
that should he get the job, what would he need to do, as they would have one
over him once they give him the new arm. As if he backed out if he didn’t agree
with their ways, they could force him to pay them back and they would ruin him
big time, to the point there would be no coming back from. After some thought
though, Kaidan decided to wait and see, as he might not even get the job, and
all the worry would be for nothing.
 
So here he was on the train to Washington where Apotheosis was based, the train
he was on was a new model, it had two floors instead of one. This was for so
there's more room on the train, but also mainly because of the Wizarding World
being discovered all those years ago, as some of the people/magical beings,
were sometimes bigger than the human. Although he was within his teens when the
Wizarding World was discovered, he was still shocked today as he amazed at it
all. Dragons, centaurs, goblins, gargoyle, were just some of the things that
they now sure now days, although gargoyles only seen rarely doing the night and
dragons were kept away from the public areas. Goblins and centaurs though, you
see them often, as they had some important jobs like banks and training.
 
Goblins now helped with banking, which slightly helped with the money problems
that the country was having, but not by much. They also trained people in
blacksmithing, as with low resources, all of the armed new forces needed new
weapons, like swords and bows and such so that bullets are needed less. Goblins
also helped with showing people how to reuse some of the old resources and
create new ones.
 
Now that they were using new weapons, people needed training, and surprisingly
centaurs were the ones who you would need to go to. Even though they were half
horse, half man, they were great at training people. If the myths were right,
they descendants trained the heroes of the past, the likes of Hercules, so they
would know how to train people.
 
So it was no surprise to see centaurs and goblins often.
 
After a few hours on the train, and a taxi to Apotheosis, he was standing a
huge building, with the name of Apotheosis above the front doors. Taking a few
seconds to take in the view of the place, Kaidan entered the building where he
saw hundreds and hundreds of people either waiting around on at the reception
desk signing in. After signing in, he waited with the others there.
 
Looking around, he saw a young man who was about six foot tall, pale skin, a
few scars on his face, black hair with a few grey hairs along the side,
something someone as young as him shouldn’t have. Looking at him, Kaidan knew
this person was also in the war, the look in his eyes, how he looked around for
decent exits should the worse happen, and the way he was standing. It was the
same way that Kaidan was acting, but he was lucky enough that his hair wasn’t
greying. He was standing next to a young lady with shoulder length light brown
hair, blue eyes that shined, fair skin, slim body, and a soft smile to
compliment it all. From what he could tell, she didn’t spend a day in the
forces at all, so wondering why she was there.
 
So deciding to give to see why they were here, he walked up to them and said to
the man, "Kaidan Alenko, nice to meet you,” then turning to the young lady he
said, “and it is nice to meet you, my fine lady.”
 
“Nathan Archer.” replied the man, and the woman replied, “I’m Nora Walker, nice
to meet you too kind sir.” In which she smiled and give him a hand to shake.
 
Instead of shaking her hand, Kaidan took her hand and kissed her knuckles, as
he said, “It is a pleasure, so are you two here for the security job?”
 
“I am,” admitted Nathan, “they sent me a letter saying that they would like to
ask me join an interview for security, because of my time in the army, and that
I’m L’Cie able to understand of machinery and able to improve and control/use
them. I came because I need a job now that I’m out of the army.”
 
“I’m here for as a lawyer student,” explained Nora, “they wrote to me saying
they are willing to pay for my studies, as long as I work for them for a few
years. I came because they’re willing to pay for my studies.”
 
“I was asked here because of my military background,” explained Kaidan, “and I
came because I need a job myself, and they offered me a new arm too.”
 
“Hmm, that is interesting,” Nora said thoughtfully, “don’t either of you two
find this a bit strange? Not only did they connect us instead of us connecting
them, but for two of us, they are offering us to either pay for our studies or
give us something that would otherwise cost us an arm and a leg, no pun
intended Kaidan.”
 
“No worries Nora,” Kaidan said with a smile, not offended by the pun, “I know
it seems suspicious, but there are a few companies like this. They hunt down
those who they believe are the best or have the potential to be the best for
whatever job they might have, and hunt them down and offer them things to get
them to come to these job interviews.”
 
“So why not give them the job instead of doing all this?” asked Nora.
 
“Simply put to make sure they are right for the job,” explained Nathan, “they
might find out many things during their research, but meeting them face to face
is much better. Through research, they could only learn so much about the
person, mainly what the person wanted people to learn about them. Doing
interviews, they could learn something that the person wouldn’t want them to
know, even have some tech to know if they are lying, so these are useful to
them to make sure they are getting what they want.”
 
Before Nora could comment on this, a group of people in suits, security armour
and lab coats entered the reception area, and a black bald in a suit stepped
forward and greeted them all, “Greetings ladies and gentlemen, my name is
Robert Wilson. Now I would like to thank you all for coming. Now you all know
that we asked you here to for a job interview, but that’s not right.”
 
Here this got a few mumbles at this, but Wilson went on to say, “Don’t get me
wrong, there willbe an interview at the end but for the next few days will be
some like a meet and greet sort of deal. We’ll be splitting you all into small
groups between ten to twenty people, and the next three days you’ll spend your
whole time with the group doing simple tasks and see how you act as a group. If
you pass the tasks, and work will within a group, you’ll be allowed the
interview. You’ll have to sign a non-disclosure form, as we have things we do
not want the public or anyone else to know about. If you don’t like this, you
know where the door is, you’re more than welcome to leave.”
 
Here about fifty people left the place, not liking the idea of doing this at
all, as they had better things to do during the next few days or they didn’t
like keep secrets for one reason or another. Once they were gone, Wilson sighed
as he said, “That’s a shame, but not a surprise though. Now once have split you
all into groups, you may inform your family or anyone who is suspecting you
back today or in the next few days what is going on. And once you are done
you’ll return to your groups, and when you are all together, someone will come
along and take you to where you’ll be staying for the next few days and be told
what is expected from you. And you may ask any questions you like. But please
know that whilst you may ask, there might be some answers we can’t give you
just yet, but we’ll tell you what we can. Now let's start, in group one…”
 
And so with that Wilson started to split everyone into groups, where to their
surprise, Kaidan, Nora and Nathan were in the same group. Their group had
fifteen people in it. Once they in the group, out of the three of them, it was
only Nora who had to call someone, her parents who she was staying with until
she found somewhere to live. Kaidan and Nathan lived alone and so didn’t need
to call anyone. Out of their group, other than Nora, there was about six people
who had to call someone be it family, partner, or friend that they were living
with.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Once they were altogether again, a man by the name James Robarts took the
group, to their surprise, to the basement of the building, where there was only
junk and other things that you might suspect to see in a basement. Wondering
what was going on, one of the group members asked, “What is going on here?
Where are we here?”
 
“Because Mr. Evans, you fifteen have been selected for a special secret job,”
explained Robarts to the man, and held his hand up as he saw the man about to
talk “please wait for a few moments and you can ask your questions.”
 
And with that Robarts went up to the wall, and moving a panel where a growing
crystal was, where Robarts took hold of it as he pull it out and twisted it
before pushing it back in. This allowed the wall to open and reveal a staircase
to appear, and as they got to the bottom of the stairs, they found themselves
in some sort of training area.
 
Here it was Nathan who asked, “What is going on here? What is this secret job
that you mentioned about earlier?”
 
“Well it is to become a Spectre Mr. Archer.” Robarts informed the group
shocking them, there were some whispers, asking why them, was this some sort of
jokes and so on. Robarts give them a few minutes to take this information in,
before he went on to say, “Now I know you’re thinking, why me and is this a
joke. No, it isn’t a joke and we picked you either because of your backgrounds
or you have the potential to become something the Spectres need.”
 
“Why would you want a trainee lawyer like myself?” Nora asked the man, “I
understand those who fought in the war, and those who are rescue workers, but
why me?”
 
“Because there are times that we need diplomacy instead of force Miss Walker.”
explained Robarts, “How do you think we got the Canadians to allow us to cross
their lands when the Red invaded Alaska? It was one of the Spectres who knew
about the law, and used diplomacy to get what we needed. It was hard, and a few
threats were given by both sides, but the Spectre at the time was able to
convince the Canadians to allow our forces into their lands. So that’s why we
want people like you, so we can train to solve such problems should they arise,
and our government can’t be seen invalid for one reason or another.
 
“Remember, Spectres do things that, because of law or/and politics, our
government cannot do, and called upon as the last resort. Normally so that we
don’t go to war, or if there’s something the government needs but can’t get
through the normal channel. Like being able to cross Canada so we can fight the
Reds so we can get our land back. Know this, the Spectres only pick those who
we believe can handle themselves alone or as a group, and able to do what no
one else can. So consider yourselves lucky, as you’re this year's choice.”
 
“So does this mean we already got the job here?” asked someone the group
arrogantly.
 
“No it does not Mr. Jackson,” Robarts told the man once he looked up the man's
name on his clipboard, “and if you keep that aptitude, you’ll not become a
Spectre, nor remember you are picked as one. Don’t think we can alter your
memories, we do have L’Cies in our group. In fact, over half of the Spectres
are L’Cies. So you know, one or two of you will be working here at Apotheosis,
the others will have jobs in other areas, some in the government, some might
stay at home, and some might be rescue workers.”
 
“Why is that?” this came from Kaidan.
 
“A few reasons Mr. Alenko, where you might be place, you could hear something
important where normally we wouldn’t hear about it until it is too late.”
Robarts explained to everyone, “Or you’ll be placed in a job where we want you
to rise in the ranks, so not only to find out info we might need, but also to
find possible future Spectres. And more importantly, wherever we might place
you, it’ll be so that it doesn’t rise too many questions.”
 
“What about those who stay at home?” asked Nora.
 
“Let me ask you something Miss. Walker,” begun Robarts, “if there a sudden
emergency, who do you think could get away without rising any if no questions
at all? Someone who works, who some housewife/husband?”
 
Then it clicked to everyone, and they all nodded in understanding, they didn’t
have to answer the question, as it was simple. A housewife/husband could get
away without rising any if no questions at all, unlike someone who is working
at the time.
 
“Now if you hold off your questions for now, as they'll be answered in time,
it’s time to begin your training.” Robarts informed the group.
 
“How long well our training take? Well a few days be enough.” asked Nathan.
 
“Oh a few days will be more enough for what I have planned for you lot Mr.
Archer,” Robarts told him with a smirk, “whilst it’ll be a few days for
everyone else. For me, you lot and a few people helping to train you, it’ll be
two years.”
 
“How is that possible?” asked Evans.
 
“Magic.” was Robarts simple answer, before going on to explain more to the
confuse group, “Put it simply, starting tomorrow, we’ll be using magic to slow
time down so that for us it’ll be two years, whilst for the rest of the world
it’ll be only two days. Now in the back of the room, you’ll find rooms where
you’ll be eating and sleeping for the next two years. Get something to eat and
drink and be back in half an hour, at which point your trainers should be here
to train you. Now off you go.”
 
And so with that the group left to get something to eat and drink, all
wondering what it was going to be like from now on. And if two years really be
up in only two days for the rest of the world. They also wondered what their
training will be like. Little did they know it, but for most of them who never
done this sort of training before, it’ll be like hell on Earth. And those who
been in the war, and suspected what this training would be like, it’ll be even
more difficult than they first thought it would be.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Over the next few days, or two years for those in the time warp, the training
was hell, but the trainers wanted them to be able to handle themselves before
they leave the time bubble. But during this time, they found a few things out,
Spectres were out of the reach of the law. Some of them found it strange, but
it was explained that to do what they had to, they had to work outside of the
law, as they might have to steal, kill, and many other things that the law
would normally stop them.
 
Whilst they worked outside of the law, they did have an office with the
Commonwealth Council, and it was known as Office of Special Tactics and
Reconnaissance. This office was so the public could hire a Spectre who don’t
have another job, as they would need to own other money when not doing official
work. It was mainly rescue work, or some under the table work of some kind. The
clients were anonymous, so that they couldn’t get in trouble with the law
themselves, Spectre get their jobs and pay from within the Office of Special
Tactics and Reconnaissance and never see the clients themselves. They only
answer to Commonwealth Council and the President of the USA. Even then, in most
cases the Council and the President prefers not to know the exact details of
how a Spectre accomplishes their mission.
 
Normally Spectres operate independently, but depending on the mission groups of
two or three. Some are empathetic peacekeepers, resolving disputes through
diplomacy, using force as a last resort. And even though lawyer were used for
diplomacy missions, they needed to know how to fight just in case things went
south and needed to use force to get what they needed to escape. Others are
cold-blooded assassins, ruthlessly dispatching problem individuals. Because of
this, there are some that sees the Spectres as a potential risk, because they
are not constrained by the law like everyone else are, whilst others are in awe
of them.
 
When asked how they were picked, their trainers told them that they screened
each and every one of them, their backgrounds, be it medical or otherwise, but
each of these checks were at their finest.
 
When asked what happens should one of the Spectres go rogue, they were informed
that it rarely happens. But should it happen though, the only solution is to
revoke their status then send another Spectre after them. As because of the
training that they went through, only another Spectre would be able to deal
with them and bring them to justice. Spectres are stripped of their status once
they are declared legally deceased. They can only be reinstated once proof of
living (e.g. appearing in person and passing a D.N.A check) is presented.
 
During the two years, there were three who had their memories alters and was
removed from the time bubble, for one reason or another. Those who stayed
though, were given implants to help them with their missions, the main one was
a Data Port Implant in the back of their heads, which was located at the base
of their neck. Those who was in the war though, already had them. The Data Port
Implant was important, as they not only allow them to control the Power Armour
that they were going to be trained in, but they could input info into their
brains. For those who didn’t have these Data Port beforehand, a cover story was
created to explain why they now had them.
 
They also gained a few other implants that contained tiny machine known as
Nanites, that go through a person's body to help a person to become stronger,
move faster and heal faster, among many other things. One of the things that
the Nanites allowed them to do was to create an outer High-Tech Enchanted
Exoskeleton armour, which helped to enhance their strength and speed even more.
 
One of the other main implant other than the Data Port, was the Cellular Memory
Recall Implant, which they would be installed into the brain, and then they
would have the Nanites alter the person's eyes. They altered them so that
whatever they saw would be recorded, and would be stored on the implant for a
week before it is recorded over. To keep the recordings, they have to either
download the recording onto their own secure computers, or write reports to the
Council.
 
The implant and the Nanites would allow the person to have their own personal
Heads-Up Display. The HUD would keep track of the person's life readings, and
among other things, it could scan the area and scan for a person, it could also
detect biorhythms, heat, and lastly, it had telescopic vision so it could see
afar.
 
Kaiden, though, who happened to be the only non-L'Cie in the group, went
through the most changes. After deciding he really wanted to become a Spectre,
much more was done to him. The first was that he was given an artificial arm,
next was that he was given a special set of Nanites, that made him into
something they called a Techno-Mage. Someone who used technology to use magic
and technology, a bit like Nathan could do. Some of these powers were creating
Force-Fields, Energy Blast, altering his artificial arm into a weapon, or a
tool that he might need, a better exoskeleton and many more skills.
 
During their time, they learnt and seen how advance technology, but was kept
from the public, and so had to wonder why this was being kept from the public.
I mean, many of these technologies could help the world, even stopped many of
the problems that they were now having, like the Resource Wars. Some of the
technology that they seen or heard about, could have been used to help with the
resource problem, even stop the war from ever coming about.
 
The trainer informed them that some of the technology was already being used
already, just a little too late though. When asked why they didn’t do so soon,
as it could have saved many lives, the simple answer they were given was fear,
fear as to how people would use the technology. It was then they went on to be
explained to them about the history of the Commonwealth Council.
 
How it was created after World War 2, and that seeing how the world nearly
ended because of technology at the end of World War 2, they didn’t want it to
happen again. So the Council limited how much technology was given to the
public, if they think that the public wasn’t ready for new technology, they
wouldn’t give it to them. As they feared that they might find a way to misuse
it all, even some of the basic technology that meant to help people could be
redesigned to do harm instead of good, which is why, for better or worse, it
took so long to go out to the public.
 
As much as they hated to admit, they could see why the Commonwealth Council
made this decision. There were many out there who would use technology to do
more harm than good, and who knows what could have happened if they hadn’t done
what they did. All they knew, if they didn’t limit the technology, whilst the
Resource Wars might not have happened, the people of the past could have
created much worse weapons, go into wars much more often and so killed, even
end the world at some point.
 
Not only that, if they didn’t limit technology, who says they would have the
technology that they have now. As they could easily put their time and efforts
into creating weapons, instead of robots and other items that they now have. So
for better or worse, they liked the world as it was. Was it good, not by a long
shot, but sometimes things must get worse before it got better, but it was what
they had and they didn’t want to change it at all. Well some parts they did,
but they knew if they did, they wouldn’t have what they got now, or even be
here in the first place talk about it.
 
Either way though, before they knew it, the two hellish years were over. And
when they left the time bubble, there was twelve new Spectres, each of them
heading toward a new job/mission. For Kaidan, Nora and Nathan, Nora was brought
in to Apotheosis, as a new trainee lawyer, as they always looking for new
lawyer to work for them. As for Nathan, he was sent to work at Commonwealth
Council as a C-Sec, to keep an eye on them and cover any useful information
that might be useful to them.
 
Finally, Kaidan, he got the job within security at Apotheosis, in fact he was
given the Head Security Job, as he would have more room to move should he get a
mission as a Spectre. Little did he know that within under three years, his
world as he knew it would be flipped, and he would have to work on rebuilding
his life among others too.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends chapter five of Magical
Fallout, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed
writing it. And if you did enjoy it, please leave a review letting me know what
you think, but no useless flames, as they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are
guest reviews. I have to admit that whilst I'm happy with what I have got in
this chapter, I'm not happy about the layout of it and how to alter it, I know
it could be better and could have more detail. As I would have liked to give
more detail, backstory with Kaiden, I just hope you like what I have done with
him so far.
 
I’m sorry about the wait between update with this and my other stories, but the
muse/mood to write has been leaving me lately. And when I do get it back, I get
writer's block, as I know what I want, I just get the right words out.
 
Now I know that in some of the games, there are a few people connected to the
future games of Fallout. Like Kellogg, who was born from the new California
Republic on the West Coast. But what I want to know is that what other
characters like Kellogg, who was born, say was born in Shady Sands, but we see
years later in Fallout 2 somewhere.
 
So I would like to have a list, so that I could try and write them in one of my
chapters and build them up a bit, before we see them again down the road. I
hope you can give me a list of these people. Now as some of you know, I have
been wondering the level of tech people should have after the fallout of the
Great War, and I have decided. I have been watching some Let’s Play Skyrim
videos, as well as playing the game and decided that other than the tech that
they find over time, the level of tech would be the same as within Skyrim.
 
The next chapter of the Pre-War Saga, will be the last chapter the saga and I
starting to look for ideas for the next saga of this story: Aftermath. In this
saga, we’ll be seeing the aftermath of the Great War and how people hand things
for the first few weeks, and from there, work up from there to the next saga
which is Fallout 1. So if there’s anything you would like to see happen in the
aftermath chapters, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
 
I’m thinking about writing about what happens in a few of the vaults too, most
of these vaults won’t be from the games. So I would like some ideas as to what
sort of experiments that Vault-Tec could set up for these new vaults, and I’m
also looking for ideas as to which vaults I should look at that’ll help with
the setup for the future chapters in the other sagas.
 
***** (Pre-War Saga - Saga Epilogue!) Chapter 7 - Dawn of the Great War. *****
Author’s_Note: This is the last chapter for the Pre-War Saga, I hope you enjoy
it. I’ll be giving the info about what happened within the last two and half
years before the Great War for those who don’t play the game, it’ll be some
main basic staff, which I hope will explain why the Great War happened and
other staff to explain why a few things happened. After this chapter, I’m going
to take a break and work on some of my other stories, so during this time, I
hope you can give me ideas as to what you would like to see to happen in the
next saga. Now, onto the story.

23rd_of_October_2077_-_Brooklyn:
 
It has been almost two and a half years since Kaidan Alenko became a Techno-
Mage for the Spectres, and started work at Apotheosis as the Head of Security.
During this time, many things happened, some good and some bad.
 
In the months that followed, there was some big news about the United States
Space Administration awarding the contracts to ArcJet Systems, to develop what
is known as the XMB booster engine and some deep range transmitter, for their
Mars Shot Project, which with luck, it would be the first manned mission to
Mars.
 
As a Spectre, in November of that year, Kaidan heard that there were some
unidentified submarine contacts, rumoured to be stealth subs of the Chinese
known as the ‘Ghost Fleet,’ was spotted by U.S. monitoring stations A-31 and B-
19. Seeing that there were no further sightings reported, many thought it was a
computer glitch at the monitoring stations or something.
 
But a month later though, Kaidan learnt that a general from the US military
visited the Switchboard facility. The Switchboard was one of many secret
facility's that the military had. Now the Switchboard was a hidden bunker used
as a secret base of operation for the Defence Intelligence Agency. It seemed
that the general was sent to see the Predictive Analytic Machine, otherwise
known as P.A.M.
 
P.A.M. was a project that was green-lighted in 2067, commissioned under the
P.A.M. Initiative. It was a joint project between the Defence Intelligence
Agency and the military to develop an advanced supercomputer capable of
accurately predicting possible future outcomes, utilizing the most
sophisticated algorithms and mathematical formulas known to man.
 
Her prediction models depended on the data fed into her systems by her human
operators. Because of this, if the data she was given wasn't one hundred
percent right, P.A.M’s predictions would have a margin of error, depending how
much bad data she was given. Because P.A.M. was primarily intended for use in
performing complex modelling for war, all the data she was given, was doubled
even tripled checked before giving the data to her.
 
For years P.A.M. was nothing more than a powerful computer, but as the Chinese
became more of a threat, they needed her to be more mobile.
 
So she was eventually wired to a modified Assaultron, a military designed and
created by RobCo Industries. Granting her mobility to relocate, in the event of
an enemy attack.
 
The Assaultron was primarily designed after that of a female figure, to give
better close combat ability, and allow it to close into their enemy quickly. It
had three point claws to fight with, so it could tear off its targets armour,
flesh, and bone alike.
 
While it is fully capable of using ranged weaponry, its accuracy wasn't as good
as other robots. But it did have a mounted laser on its head, just in case it
needed s range attack. Whilst its carrying capacity was decent, there was other
robots that could carry more. Then again, Assaultrons was designed for close
combat fighting, and not for carrying things.
 
Anyway, when the general visited P.A.M., she reported that Chinese stealth
technology was far ahead than anything that the United States had, and that the
unidentified submarines spotted by U.S. monitoring stations a month prior might
have been the Chinese ‘Ghost Fleet,’ an elite naval unit rumoured to possess
stealth-capable submarines.
 
Kaidan heard that the general was dismissive of this intelligence as
unsubstantiated, but he also heard that P.A.M. responded to this by stating
that no actionable intelligence has come out of the Shaanxi Province of China
since November 2072, except for a reported increase in the importation of
complex polymers and key synthetic compounds. P.A.M. indicates that these are
consistent with research into stealth technology on a large scale, but the
general states that unless concrete evidence can be provided, such information
would be considered as rumour.
 
Although what she predicted whilst he was there, was something the general
couldn't over look. P.A.M. predicted that at some point within the next three
to five years, China would deploy nuclear warheads at the United States, as for
why, she didn't have all the data to explain it.
 
This was something the general nor the Spectres could easily overlook, true or
not they had to prepare just in case the prediction came true. It didn't help
that P.A.M. had no idea if the Chinese would strike first or what, so all the
general could do was report to the President with his findings. At which point
the President had the military mobilize its own fleet of ballistic missiles,
and create even more of them and place them in key points of the country, and
raise the DEFCON status to the highest level in preparation for an upcoming
invasion.
 
As for the Spectres, seeing that they didn't know who would make the first
move, they didn't know how to stop it, seeing that the preparation had holes in
the area as to how it was going to happen. So all they could was prepare for
the aftermath, and saving what they could of the civilization that they knew
of. So they had Apotheosis sell Memory Crystals to the public.
 
Now Memory Crystals were like Holodisk, a durable laser-readable storage device
produced by Wattz Electronics, based on the tape holography technology, storing
their information safely for extended periods of time. Whilst normally Holodisk
held written or audio notes, like a dairy, training notes and such, but at
other times instead of written or audio notes, they sometimes had holograms of
people showing and explaining things.
 
Memory Crystals were different, they were made from magical crystals, and
whilst they were able to hold written or audio notes like a Holodisk could, and
were able to hold holograms, they also way more data. Not only that, but with a
Memory Reader and a Data Import, they could feel like they were in a room full
of people where someone was giving a lecture and such. Before now, these Memory
Crystals were used to teach new teachers, doctors and help train new soldiers
and such. But now that the Memory Crystals were being sold, the Spectres hoped
that whoever survived would find and use the Memory Crystals to hopefully
rebuild civilization, with the knowledge of the past so not to repeat it, and
use the knowledge rebuild the buildings.
 
Kaidan found it funny, when Robert House predicted that Chinese might hit the
U.S with nuclear warheads, they did nothing. In fact, they laughed at him for
it, as he had no proof, but now a super computer tells them the same thing with
no proof either, everyone is running about trying to deal with it in one way or
another.
 
During this time, Pulowski Preservation Services started to create Pulowski
Preservation shelters. These shelters were coin-operated, one-person fallout
shelters found on street corners throughout the more urban areas of the East
Coast. They were advertising that these shelters were a ‘sensible’ and
‘affordable’ alternative to the Vaults, so that people could ostensibly use
them as a last-minute resort in the event of a nuclear attack. The shelters
themselves were firmly secured to the ground, and ventilation piping is
attached to the rear of the booth.
 
Kaidan didn’t like these shelters, as they were very ill prepared, whilst they
had air supply, they had no food or water within them, so the only way anyone
with them could survive, was if they had anything on them at the time they
entered them. So any ill-prepared occupants that entered them, would most
likely resigned themselves to die from starvation if they were lucky enough to
survive the high radiation levels.
 
In early January of 2076, Kaidan heard from some of his old friends in the
military, that a military team under the command of Colonel Spindel, was sent
to the West Tek research facility to monitor the experiments in the interest of
national security, due to fears of international espionage. What the
experiments were, Kaidan didn't know as they were considered top secret out of
the interest of national security. Even as a Spectre he couldn't find out, as
his clearance wasn't high enough. Although he did hear about some sort super
smart raccoons escaping the place, but Kaidan couldn't find any info about them
and so put it down to a rumour.
 
At some point in the same month, the United States annexation of Canada was
complete. There were open orders from the military that au Canadian protesters
or/and rioters, were meant to be shot on sight, and the Alaskan Pipeline swarms
with American military units. Pictures of atrocities made their way back to the
United States, where it caused even further unrest and protests with the
people.
 
In June a new Power Armour prototype, the T-51b, was completed. This this new
armour was the pinnacle of Power Armour technology before the Great War. Many
of these units were sent to China, and they begin to carve a swath through the
Chinese forces. Over the following months, news returned to the U.S. that the
Chinese resources were becoming strained, to the breaking point, and the supply
lines from the nations China was slowly to break down.
 
In the United States though, in August of that year with food and energy being
so low and rationed so much in the major cities, there were riots in them.
Because of this, military units were deployed in the cities, to contain the
rioters. And to do this, they set up many temporary prisons were constructed to
hold them. And to make sure that riots didn't happen again, a state of
emergency was declared and martial law soon follows, with curfew set in place
too.
 
Over the last year, Kaidan done a few missions for the Spectres, mainly keeping
dragons away from the public areas. But there were some missions that the
Commonwealth Council and the Spectres felt the public should never know about,
the darker secrets of magic and some other things that they only knew about.
The first one was of the Dark Creatures: the Dementors. Dementors are a
gliding, wraith-like dark creatures (considered to be one of the foulest
creatures to inhabit the world.) These creatures were something everyone wanted
to keep quiet, as they feed upon human happiness, and thus cause depression and
despair to anyone near them. They were also able to consume a person's soul,
leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus are often
referred to as ‘soul-sucking fiends.’ As they were known to leave a person as
an ‘empty-shell.’
 
Another dark secret that was kept from the public was about those who use magic
to experiment on others, and it wasn't always people with magic who
experimented on people, but those without a magic focus too. I know what how
can some who didn't have a wand or another focus experiment magic on others
with magic? Who said they used spells to experiment on people, it was normally
potions and runes that they used, to see the effect they had on people. As you
didn't need much magic to use potions and runes, for when you need magic, if
you were a L’Cie, then you would be fine, as you didn't normally need to use
spells to magic he potions or runes to work, but to push raw magical power into
them, which any L’Cie could do. And for the rare times they needed to use
spells, but a threat to their life or their family life, in one form or
another, would make a Wand User to cast the spell you needed.
 
Two such experiments that Kaidan was sent to stop, was a group of people who
used the homeless, those who won’t be missed and the Chinese-Americans who were
in the internment camp for experiments to create new races. The first
experiments that Kaidan stopped, was a group who were crazy cat lovers who
believed that like the ancient Egyptians, cats were superior and Bastet was
their god. And this group believed that to be closer to Bastet, they should
become a hybrid cat and human. And thanks to learning about magic they could,
they called the new race Khajiit, after a card game known as Elder Scrolls.
 
Then there was another group, this group didn’t do what they did because they
believed that a certain race was better than another. They were doing this to
see if they could, and like the other group, used those who homeless, those who
won’t be missed and the Chinese-Americans who were in the internment camp for
their experiments. In this case, they were using different sort of reptiles, to
find a match to fit their needs, and those they didn’t like or failed for some
reason were killed. Like with the other group, they used the name from the
Elder Scrolls card game to name their new race, and it was Argonian.
 
Kaidan was able to shut down the experiments, but the thing was what to do with
them. As the Spectres and the Government wanted to keep them secret from the
public, as they won’t ready for such things. So the Spectres took over two of
the Vaults that were created, so each race could live in peace and don’t have
to deal with each other. The other options for the Chinese-Americans though was
either send them back to China, which they didn’t want, as they feared that the
Chinese would try and copy the experiment to create their own Khajiit and
Argonian race. The other option was to resend them back to a internment camp
which wasn’t something they wanted either.
 
As the internment camps were hell on Earth for the Chinese-Americans, as they
were believed to be Chinese spies. This happened since the start of the
Resource Wars with them, in 2066. But the thing is that not only were adults
being sent to these camps, but also children and the elderly, and the
government didn’t seem to care about them. To them anyone could be a spy and
need to be dealt with, but instead sending them back to China, they sent them
to these internment camps, where they have no rights at all. There’s only a few
ways out of the camps, death, being used with someone's experiments and then
maybe dying during them, or being sponsored by an American, where the Chinese-
American would have to work for the American for the rest of their life.
 
Being sponsored by an American, and working for them was another way to say
that the Chinese-American would become slaves to the American. Whilst there
were some guidelines as what a sponsor could do, as long as the wrong people
finds out about it, they could do whatever they like to the Chinese-American,
even use them sex-slaves. But it wasn’t easy to become a sponsor, as you would
need a home and money to do so, and the more money someone has, the more people
they could sponsor.
 
Now a sponsored Chinese-American would have to wear a slave collar, like if
they were in a camp, so that they couldn’t escape their sponsors. The slave
collars were developed at Big MT Research and Development Centre. Now thanks to
magic, you could punish or reward them with a push of a button. If punished,
the person would feel a great pain going through them, unlike anything that
might have felt before. But if rewarded, they feel great pleasure too, and the
pleasure could be sexual or feeling of warmth and such. But at the same time,
the collars could kill them too, in one of two ways. By a push of a button, or
if they get too far away from their sponsors, or their homes should the
sponsors not being near them. But if the collar is broken somehow and the
Chinese-American did run away/escape they could be tracked by the collars too.
 
So the only way to protect them was to set up a vault for them, so that they
could live peacefully away from those who meant to harm them. But when Kaidan
saved those who were being experimented on to become a Khajiit, he meets up
with a young Chinese-American by the name of Anna May Wong.
 
When Kaidan first meet Anna May, was half naked only wearing a dirty cloth
around her wrist, and her breasts were showing, which had fine fur around them
but none on the nipples. The reason for the fur was because she was one of
those who had being turned into a Khajiit. She had lightish brown fur all over
her body, with black spots here and there on her body, and white around the
nose, chain, mouth and down her neck. When their eyes meet, he saw something in
her eyes, you could say it was love at first sight for each other.
 
Because of this, even though he was someone who thought that sponsoring
Chinese-American was wrong with how it was, he decided that he would sponsor
Anna May. Not to treat her as a slave like others would, but to see if they
could become lovers, and if not, make sure she wasn’t used by others would
wanted her nothing more than a toy. And so with the help of the Spectres, they
give her a cloaking device to make her look like the way she did before she
became a Khajiit. This was a beautiful twenty two year old young girl, with
pale skin, green eyes and light brown hair like her fur.
 
Now in the year 2077, better known as the year that was the beginning of the
end of the world as they knew it. It started off over well, as the Americans
were able reclaim Alaska from the Chinese and, along with it, retaking the
Anchorage Front Line. Although the Chinese did try and do a last attempt at
hurting the U.S. by trying and failing to sabotage the Hoover Dam. But fearing
that P.A.M’s prediction about the Chinese attacking them with nuclear warheads,
or although some feared about biological attacks too, the President and a
select few people that the President trusted, retreated to the Poseidon oil rig
and make contingency plans.
 
For the next following months, the government were trying to deal with their
everything back home, and rebuild the country as best as they could. But with
the New Plague reappearing and hitting Denver, they had problems. As rioters
started to burn down large parts of the city, in their fear of contamination
and anger at their treatment. Many panic and flee the city by car, clogging the
freeways when they run out of gas and trapping everyone behind them.
 
To deal with this, Power Armour was for the first time ever, used for domestic
use, for crowd and quarantine control. Units originally serving in China and
the Anchorage Front Line were now finding themselves fighting Americans at
home, to regain control of things. But in doing so, food become a problem
again, and food riots increase and many civilians were killed as they fought
those trying to regain some sort of order. Now because of how the public was
being treated, and had enough of fighting, several soldiers defected from the
military, both in Canada and the United States. They didn’t get far though, as
most were captured and sent to military prisons
 
On the local news front in Boston, where Kaidan and Anna May was spending some
time during Kaidan’s time off at Apotheosis, they heard about the notorious
criminal Eddie Winter. It was reported that Nick Valentine, a police detective
from Chicago, was brought to Boston to apprehend Winter. But it ended up as a
failure though, as from the news reports, Winter kidnaps Valentine's fiancée,
Jennifer Lands. During the mission to rescue her, Winter kills her so that he
could escape capture. It was reported a few weeks ago, because of this,
Valentine was being treated for PTSD, and his brain scanned to help ways to
treat PTSD better.
 
It didn’t help that in late February, there was some leaked news through an
unknown source, about a project that West-Tec was involved in, the project was
known as Forced Evolutionary Virus or F.E.V. It was explained that it started
of known as Pan-Immunity Virion Project (PVP,) a project to develop a way to
stimulate the human immune system in such a way that it could naturally
counteract any Chinese biological agents should they use biological attacks.
 
However though, during West Tek's testing phase of the PVP in 2075, abnormal
side effects were observed developing in the test subjects. The test animals
began to grow dramatically larger in size and muscular structure, and their
brain activity increased. Seeing the potential military applications of these
unexpected results, the U.S. Army sent their own military scientists into the
facility to secure the project and renamed the PVP virus as the Forced
Evolutionary Virus.
 
But not content with producing mere immunity to disease, the Army's researchers
hoped that the F.E.V. would turn its soldiers into abnormally strong and
intelligent supermen capable of defeating many times their own number of
Chinese soldiers. When the testing on animals reached its logical conclusion,
the American military moved the entire apparatus of F.E.V. research to the
Mariposa Military Base in California, where secret human testing on military
prison inmates proceeded.
 
Upon hearing this, there were protests in many of the major cities and
governments around the world, and it didn’t help that there were accusations
that the United States was responsible for the New Plague somehow. F.E.V. was
seen as a threat, and served only to fuel tensions between United States, and
the world and its own people. The governments of the world feared what the U.S.
was up to, and they speculated anything from trying to make a breed of super
soldier to trying to make Hitler's master race, they begin to panic. And so
there were talks about what to do.
 
Not that it mattered though, as on the twenty-third October, the world ended
for everyone, but at the same time, started anew for those who survived what
happened that day. It all started off like any other day, people getting up for
the day, having breakfast, going work or shopping, and some getting ready for
Halloween that was the following week.
 
What no one knew was that early hours of that morning, The Commander of the
U.S. Pacific Fleet and the U.S. Air Force report sightings of possible Chinese
submarines and a few hours later, aircraft approaching U.S. territory. But
things didn’t get bad until little after 9am Eastern Standard Time, when
Integrated Operational Nuclear Detection System (IONDS,) reported that four
probable launches of ballistic missiles from a unknown locations. Because of
this the US Armed Forces went to DEFCON 2. A few minutes later, NORAD confirmed
IONDS reports of the missiles. With this, the US Armed Forces went from DEFCON
2 to DEFCON 1. With this, Bombers were scrambled for immediate take-off.
 
Than about ten minutes later, Response Scenario MX-CN91 was ordered by POTUS,
who gave them authorization to use nuclear retaliation. Within minute the first
lot of bombs and missiles flew over the West Coast and most of it was destroyed
within moments, only a handful survived. As they had no warning at all, and
those who survived were in the Vaults already, in some sort of shelters, or in
the underground tubes waiting for the train.
 
But the question of who struck first, was unknown.
 
On the East Coast though, none of them knew about the bombings yet, nor knew
about the missiles on their way. As for the other countries, they launched
their planes and fired their own warheads as well. And for those in the areas
that had alert in the west, very few people heeded the warning, thinking it was
just another false alarm, because of the tests in the past and thinking it was
just another one.
 
And in Brooklyn, where Kaidan was spending some time, doing a mission for the
Spectres. As there were rumours that there was a group of people experimenting
on people, only this time not with magic, but with science. What they were
doing, it wasn’t known, but it was why he was there to find out. He brought
Anna May with him, as her abilities with her nose, hearing and her night vision
was very useful to his needs. And seeing that she was sponsored by Kaidan, he
was her master and was unable to inform others of his secrets.
 
Not that she would if she could anyway, as over the last year she fallen in
love with Kaidan, as he cared and protected her from anyone who thought her as
a Chinese spy. Not only that, but the way he treated her, with kindness and
love, something she hadn’t felt in years, how could she not fall in love with
her Master. At the moment, the two of them were eating breakfast at the local
restaurant. People were giving her strange looks because of her slave collar,
but she didn’t care, as long she was with Kaidan.
 
Now as the two were eating breakfast and watching morning news on the TV within
the restaurant, when Kaidan heard a familiar sound coming from the inside of
his jacket he was wearing this morning. He found this strange, as it was a
communications device that allows him to keep in contact with the Spectre’s
Headquarters, so that should he need backup, he could contact them. The only
time they called was during the hours of 10pm and midnight, as they arranged so
that they can get feedback on how his missions were going. Never during the
day, when they knew that most likely Kaidan was out in the public.
 
So for them to contact him now, Kaidan knew that something urgent has happened,
and blowing his cover was something they couldn’t afford, Kaidan pulled out a
small crystal ball from his jacket.
 
“This is Spectre Network, what’s the problem?” asked Kaidan using his code
name, shocking everyone there as they saw a Spectre without their armour hiding
who they were.
 
“Sorry for blowing your cover, but this is a Code Ragnarok…” the voice from the
crystal ball, this shocked Kaidan as Code Ragnarok was the code should a
nuclear war begins, or another sort of war that would end the world.
 
“Y-You su-sure about this?” Kaidan asked in shock and fear, hoping that this
wasn’t true.
 
“We are,” said the voice, “the first attack was ten minute ago, half of the
West Coast has been destroyed.” This got the people in the public in a panic
upon hearing this, “Orders are that you should get anyone nearby and teleport
them to the nearby Spectre shelter and await orders.”
 
“Understood,” acknowledged Kaidan, then a thought occurred to him, “any clue as
to who launched the first bomb?”
 
“No don’t,” the voice informed Kaidan, “it was believed the Chinese, but it
isn’t confirmed if this is right. We’ll try and confirm this later if
possible.”
 
“Understood, I’ll await feather orders.” Kaidan informed the voice, then
turning to those within the restaurant, “Ladies and gentlemen, as you just hear
half of the West Coast has been destroyed, what you don’t know is how.”
 
“How was it destroyed?” asked one of the public.
 
“Nuclear bombs.” explained Kaidan, making everyone panic, some started to run
out, but Anna May, removed her cloaking device to reveal her Khajiit form,
which stopped people for now. “Now what you don’t know is that right now,
there’s a world ending war going on. And it is my job to get you all to safety
until I hear that it is safe.”
 
“Safe where?” asked another member of the public.
 
“A Spectre shelter that’s nearby.” explained Kaidan.
 
“How far is it and how do we get there?” asked another member of the public.
 
“Go no idea how far it is,” admitted Kaidan, “that’s because I’m not around
here. But we’ll be getting there by a portal.” And before any of them could
ask, Kaidan took a clear orb from his pocket and threw it onto the ground,
which opened purple portal. “Now walk through it and I’ll try and get more
people before the bombs hit here.”
 
And with that people begun to enter the portal, with Anna May following them to
make sure everything is alright on the other end and no trouble would happen.
For the next few minutes, Kaidan in his Spectre armour, tried to gather as many
people as he could, but only got around twenty people before he had to enter
the portal. And not long after that, the bombs hit the East Coast.
 
For the next two hours, nuclear bomber bombarded upon the earth's surface. The
effects were far worse than anyone imagined. The Earth's faults shift
violently, thrusting mountain ranges through the soil, creating earthquakes,
creating volcanoes in some areas, and in areas lands were submerged under
floods of water. By the time the bombs finished bombarding the lands, in the
United States, between five to ten percent survived the bombings. During the
time of the bombings, the EMP produced by the bombing kills all of the
unshielded electronic devices such as vehicles and other machinery.

Authors_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends the final chapter of the first
saga of Magical Fallout, I would like to thank you all for reading so far, and
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. And if you did enjoy it,
please leave a review letting me know what you think, but no useless flames, as
they’ll be ignored or deleted if they are guest reviews.
 
Now some of you might be wondering why I added the Khajiit and Argonian, the
simple truth is that I wanted to show how magic could be misused by people who
have no idea what it could do and wanting to find out. And so I used these two
races to show this, and use the idea of Elder Scrolls card game, seeing that
such computer games don't exist in the Fallout World.
 
Now I would like to ask that for the next saga, could you help me with ideas as
to what you would like to see happen next. To help you, let me explain the
basic idea as to what I have planned so far. The next saga is called Aftermath,
and for the following chapters, I’ll showing what happens after the Great War
and all the way up to Fallout 1. And for that I would like to hear your ideas
and thoughts, as I have limited ideas but still got some, one is go along with
some of the ideas from The Division. And thinking about showing how some of the
Vaults were being run. So if you got ideas for this, please let me know, as any
and all ideas will be listened to and if I like them will be used within the
story. Please help, as it’ll take time for me to write these chapters, coming
up with good ideas and so with any help you might give could make writing the
chapters easier to write.
 
Please leave me some feedback, so I know what you think, as your help and
feedback helps me keep on writing.

Saga_Summary: The Great War is over, read as the survivors deal with the
aftermath of the war. With the end world as people knew it, and people still
dying and the worse still yet to come, how will the survivors going to handle
it all? With no police or government to deal with the chaos, anarchy arises,
and people take things into their own hands. Kaidan is one of the few people
who'll stand against the chaos.
 
At the start of the saga, we find Kaidan dealing with the aftermath of the
Great War, as he searches for survivors and helps around Brooklyn before moving
out to Manhattan to help out there. From here, read as Kaidan helps to build up
a base of opposition, and rescue who he can before the fallout of nuclear
bombing begins.
 
After I done with Kaidan, I'm hoping to write about how the Brotherhood of
Steel was formed, and ft there write a few Vault chapters. And from there,
we’ll see what happens over the years until we get to the start of Fallout 1.
 
(Please if you got ideas for what Kaidan could face, or ideas with the
Brotherhood of Steel, what happens in these Vaults and the tests that Vault-Tec
set up, or what happens over the years up to Fallout 1, please let me know and
I’ll try and add them.)
 
Warnings: With the world is over, and people dealing with the aftermath of the
Great War, and people dying from radiation, the story will now get darker.
There’ll now be rape, underage sex, murder and more.

23rd of October 2077 - Spectre Shelter, Unknown Location:
 
Over the two hours that the nuclear bombs hit outside, wherever they were the
shelter was shaking and rumbling, with the sounds of the exploding bombs
hitting the area or in the air. They felt that if it wasn’t for the shelter
itself, their lives could have been ended at any moment. Some were many who
were grateful that they didn’t hear any screaming coming from out, they didn’t
know what they would be like if they did. There was enough of that in the
shelter, every time they heard a bomb hit. After the few bombs hit, and the
screaming stopped people began to cuddle with each other crying, or was walking
about laughing uneasily, unsure how what was happening outside, worried about
those they care about those they knew and wondered if they knew or not.
 
Whilst the civilians were panicking about things they could not deal with, or
worrying about their friends and family, Kaidan and Anna May were playing cards
as if nothing was going on. But they would be wrong though, whilst they didn’t
have family, they did have a few friends they were worried about, but they were
trained for this though. They knew that there was nothing they could do to help
them, just hope that they got to one of the Vaults in time. All they could do
right now was to wait for the message from headquarters to give them the all
clear, or if they didn’t hear anything within the next few days, they would
have a look themselves.
 
It was about four hours from entering the shelter, when there was a loud
beeping sound coming from one of the Spectre’s high tech computer, and once
Kaidan pushed a button, the screen turned on where an elderly man was on it. He
was a white man looked like he was in his sixties, he was balding, he had white
hair around his head, but in the middle, he was bald. He had a long scar across
his right eye, a huge gash on his left cheek.
 
“Spectre Commander Ironhide.” Kaidan stood to attention and bowed to the
screen. Ironhide was one of the high commanders of the Spectres, where Spectres
like Kaidan got orders from.
 
“At ease Kaidan, the Spectres are no more,” Ironhide informed the other man,
“the Spectres has been disbanded, as the world as we know it is over.”
 
“How bad is it Commander?” asked Kaidan respectfully. Whilst the Commander said
that Spectres disbanded, it would never be for him.
 
“Very bad Kaidan, even worse than anyone can ever imagined.”At this, the crying
and the nose behind him stopped, as the civilians here wanted to hear about the
news about happened, and how bad it was, “New York, Boston, Massachusetts and
Washington D.C, just naming four known hits. We still getting reports of where
have been hit, we know that the major cities and known and unknown military
bases have been hit.”
 
Kaidan could here sobs behind him as the civilians heard the bad news, but he
didn’t have time for them, he needed info, “What about the President? What is
the damage in these areas and others? And what of the other Spectres? How many
of us our left?”
 
“The wellbeing of thePresident is unknown,” acknowledged Ironhide, “he hasn’t
been in the White House for the last year or so. The White House has been empty
for about six months, there’s only a few people in there to make it look like
people were working there. Until now, only a handful of people knew this, so
not to panic the public. As for what the damage is I don’t know, with so much
radiation in the air, communications are near impossible. But from what we can
gather, depending where the bombs hit and how powerful they were, unless you
live in the outskirts. I would suspect a lot of damage and closer you get to
the bombs, a hell on earth and impossible to get near to for the next few years
or so.”
 
Here the civilians started to scream and cry again, not believing what they
were hearing. They couldn’t believe that everything and everyone they knew was
now most likely gone, it was getting too much for Kaidan and so punched one of
them to shout them up. This made everyone stop screaming and started to cry
instead. At this point Ironhide went on to say,“As for the other Spectres, we
don’t know, but it doesn’t look good though. So far from the shelters that we
have set up, you’re the twentieth shelters that we have tried to contact, and
sadly only the sixth to answer our call. We don’t know if it means they didn’t
make it there, or if something else is up. We’ll keep trying until we know what
is going on, and if possible, we’ll send someone to the shelters to see what
happened. But we’re hot suspecting much.”
 
“Have you heard from the Archers?” asked Kaidan worried for his friends.
 
“No we haven’t,” admitted the Commander,“but it is possible that they are in
their vault. They did say they did sign up for one, so it possible that when
the bombs started to hit, they didn’t have time to pick up their communicators
as they left for their vault.”
 
“I just hope they have made it to their vault.” Kaidan sighed worried for his
friends, before went on to ask, “What are the standing orders?”
 
“Now whilst theSpectres are officially disbanded, we’re still Spectres and our
mission is to protect people.”Ironhide informed Kaidan, “So I want you to go to
the designated safe house in Brooklyn, as it’s one of the few places safe to go
to for now and see what you can do for them. There orders are to help with
mainly the emergency services, and back up the military force’s chick points,
rescuing the public is secondary.”
 
“Why is that Commander?” Kaidan asked.
 
“We have limited personal and resources right now,” the Commander informed him,
“the best we can do the is to help emergency services and the military. For
now, the only public we should deal with are those that the emergency services
are helping. The rest if they aren’t about to die, can fend for themselves.”
 
“Understood.” Kaidan said with a bow, he truly did. With the country being
bombed by nukes, they had to deal with the fallout out of the bombing.
 
“Once you done contact me and I’ll send you transport to take you and any
survivors who are willing to come to Jericho.” the Commander told Kaidan.
 
“What’s in Jericho?” asked Kaidan.
 
“I’ll tell you once you get here,” the Commander informed him, “the line is
unsafe to mention more.”
 
“Understood,” Kaidan said with a bow, “I’ll talk more once I get to Jericho.”
And with that the screen went blank, leaving Kaidan to consider his next steps.
It took a few moments to think what to do with the civilians, before deciding
what to do. So turning to them, Kaidan told them, “Okay, you have two options,
you can leave here or and most likely die, or you can stay here where you’ll be
safe and have food and water to last for at five to six years. I won’t tell you
what to do, as that’ll be up to you, but I would like it if you would stay here
until I’m ready to move to Jericho.”
 
“What about our family and friends?” called out one of the civilians.
 
“If they live near any of the major cities or military bases, they could be
dead or slowly dying.” Kaidan the civilian and the rest of them, “We do not
know where the bombs hit, and how powerful they are. For me going to Brooklyn
means it is more or less safe to go there, but we don’t know how bad it is.”
 
“We don’t care,” said another civilian, “most of us can’t stand here whilst
people we know could be alive and hurt, and dying because no one knows where
they are, or knows they are in danger.”
 
“If that’s what you want to do, you can go,” Kaidan told them, not going to
fight them if this was what they wanted, “but be warned though, it’ll be
dangerous. Not only because of the radiation, but because of looters, and those
who will want to take advantage of the situation.”
 
“We don’t care,” said the same civilian, “we need to know if our friends and
family are okay.”
 
“I understand,” acknowledged Kaidan, “but if you leave here, until I or someone
I know, you can’t leave here. As I found out that this shelter is underneath
somewhere in New York as you heard has been hit. So you can’t get out there for
a few years.”
 
“We understand,” said a black civilian, “but we don’t care. We just want to
learn about our family and friends.”
 
“Alright, any of you who want to leave can,” Kaidan told them, “but know you’ll
won’t be able to come back here.”
 
“We understand.” acknowledged another civilian.
 
And so with that Kaidan opened a portal that allowed him, Anna May and twenty
of the twenty-five people who were there, back to Brooklyn. As they walked into
the portal, they didn’t know what to suspect, but it was much worse than
anything they could imagine.

Author’s_Note: Here ends of the prologue for the new saga Aftermath, I hope you
enjoyed it. I know it is short, but the problem is that I need some help. I
need help as to how Brooklyn should look like after the Great War, I was
informed it could look similar to Boston, but I would like your thoughts. If
possible, I would like a description of Brooklyn. And although I do have a few
ideas, I would like to hear what you would like to happen during Kaidan’s and
Anna May’s time in Brooklyn. The most important part of this is what Brooklyn
should look like after the Great War, so please if possible give a description
to what it should look like, or ideas as to how it should look like.
 
I would like to apologize for the delay in updates, but I heard a youtuber by
the name of ShoddyCast was going to do a Fallout movie about the Brotherhood of
Steel. This movie was going to be about how the Brotherhood started out all
those years ago, and I was waiting for it to come out, but it never came.
Recently ShoddyCast informed us that instead of a movie, they were going to
make it into a mod. I don’t know why, but for whatever reason, it is taking
longer than suspected for it to come to life.
 
Because of it taking a long time, I decided to continue the story without the
help of ShoddyCast’s mod/movie. I am hoping that it’ll be up by the time I get
writing about how the Brotherhood came to be, but if not, I would like to ask
for ideas about them.
End Notes
     Authors Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END: Here ends the Prologue to my
     new story, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
     Whilst this is going be a Fallout/Harry Potter story, until we get to
     Fallout 4 Saga, it’ll be mainly be about the Fallout Universe, but
     it’ll have elements from the Harry Potter world here and there.
     Now I know that I might have added a lot of tech in this chapter, but
     it is going to be an Alternate Universe Fallout Universe. As I find
     it strange that with human nature and the people from Big MT, there
     wasn’t more technology, as it is human nature to seek out ways to
     make things better for themselves. So what if the transistor wasn’t
     created in the 1947 in the Fallout World, I would have thought
     someone would have tried to over the years to make their lives easier
     and better.
     So this is why I created the Commonwealth Council: won’t say much
     about them, that’ll be in the next chapter or two, but after World
     War 2, when the fifty states of America were divided into thirteen
     commonwealths the Commonwealth Council was created so that the
     American Commonwealth could come together and talk about things. Not
     only that, but seeing how World War 2 ended, they feared that
     technology could be used badly if it went in the wrong hands. So the
     Commonwealth Council would vote what tech the world would be allowed,
     and the tech that was voted not to see the light of day and be
     hidden. Got a few ideas, but if you got more, please let me know.
     So you know, as the title of this saga says, the following chapters
     will be all about what happened before the Great War. So seeing this
     is going to be Alternate Universe to the Fallout Universe, if there’s
     anything you want to see happen, what you would like the Commonwealth
     Council do or what you would to happen with Spectres, let me know. So
     you know, the L'Cie will be because of the Enclave learning about the
     Magical World, and experimenting on what they found. So if you got
     some ideas about the Enclave and the Magical World, please let me
     know.
     So you know, the chapters well take some time to write, as I have to
     do something that I never done before, research. I have to look
     through the Fallout Wikia to see what happen during their timeline,
     and then add it to this story which well take some time.
     I’m after some ideas for implants for Nate and Nora, for Nora I would
     like ones that focused more on helping her with diplomatically, but
     should shit hit the fans, she would be ready for anything. As for
     Nate, I want implants fit for a warrior, as he is a fighter, so would
     need things to show he is one too.
     I have a question for you all:
     The next question is this: Why did the Institute wanted Shaun to
     start off with? Couldn’t they not have picked anyone else?
     I looked it up, and I sort of found the answer it and it was this:
     Father: ...You believed that ten years had passed. Is it really so
     hard to accept that it was not ten, buy sixty years? That is the
     reality. And here I am. Raised by the Institute, and now its leader.
     Select "But Why?" dialogue choice
     You: But why? Why take a child? Why take you?
     Father: Ah, now that's the question isn't it? "Why me?". At that
     time, the year 2227, the Institute had made great strides in synth
     production. But it was never enough. Scientific curiosity, and the
     goal of perfection, drove them ever onward. What they wanted was...
     the perfect machine. So they followed the best example thus far - the
     human being. Walking, talking, fully articulate... capable of
     anything.
     Select "They needed specimens" dialogue choice
     You: So the weird science experiments needed specimens. That's why
     they took you.
     Father: In a manner of speaking, yes. The Institute endeavored to
     create synthetic organics. The most logical starting point, of
     course, was human DNA. Plenty of that was available, of course, but
     it had all become corrupted... in this... wasteland... radiation
     affected everyone. Even in their attempts to shield themselves from
     the world above, members of the Institute had been exposed. Another
     source was necessary. But then the Institute found me, after
     discovering records from Vault 111. An infant, frozen in time,
     protected from the radiation-induced mutations that had crept into
     every other human cell in the Commonwealth. I was exactly what they
     needed. And so it was my DNA that became the basis of the synthetic
     organics used to created every human-like synth you see today.
     But my question still remains why Shaun, there were many, in 'Father'
     own words, 'frozen in time, protected from the radiation-induced
     mutations that had crept into every other human cell in the
     Commonwealth.' So why not one of them, or someone from another vault
     who wasn't in the new Commonwealth? Would like your thoughts, so that
     I can explain it better in my Fallout story when I get to that point
     of the story.
