Harry sat in his booth beside a very silent Lily as they watched the new students enter the Bunker, the inexperienced eyeing the giant metal towers and cages warily while the Technomancers and Muggleborns grinned as they recognized the set up that had been painstakingly built by the resident Hogwarts Technomancers in just under a week. Rather impressive for them if Harry had to say so. "Everyone," called Hermione behind a metal cage of her own beside Isabel and Cindy as the other Technomancers worked behind the scenes either under the Tesla coils or on the roof as it retracted to show the night sky. "Please move into the cages. Technomancers, try not to drain anything. It ruined last years display." A sound of chuckles echoed in the room from newcomers and returning students alike.

"We're ready up here," said Harry into a radio.

"Copy," replied Draco from his position on the roof. "Sky flowers are good to go."

"Just giving Zeus and Thor one last touch up," said Tonks from beneath the Tesla coils. "Ready down here!"

"Smoke and lightshow?"

"Vesuvius is down," said Padma. "Looks like a corroded wiring, knew I should've swapped them out beforehand. Fuji, St. Helen and Kilauea are good though."

"Pansy. Check out Vesuvius when we're done if you please. Padma, increase output on Fuji and move her to middle of the room to compensate."

"Yeah, yeah," muttered Pansy as Padma went to work.

"Lights?" Harry turned to Lily and saw her distracted. "Hey." He placed his hand on her shoulder, breaking her from her thoughts and making her jump in surprise. "You ok?" Reluctantly, Lily shook her head. "You want to sit this out?" One more shake of the head and she turned to her computer screen.

"Lights are in working order," her automated voice sounded. Harry sighed slightly before turning to the crowd. Harry and Isabel had been planning for this over the summer and had expanded the inside of the Bunker to allow room to work and for people to observe safely inside the cages. He grunted as an unexpected weight appeared in his lap and looked down to see a giggling little girl in his lap, looking out over the computer at the people beyond the screen.

"Livy? What are you doing here?" Olivia Benoit looked up at her godbrother and laughed before making herself float in the air in front of him. Harry caught her as Lily giggled silently beside him.

"Isabel invited us to come see," said Sasha with a grin from behind Harry. "Zed unfortunately was too busy trying to come up with a viable design for when we acquire more Element Zero to bring his hovercraft to life. Also, it appears Livy has magic after all. She Apparated the moment she saw you." Harry looked down at his godsister and chuckled before shaking his head and tickling the one year old, making her laugh.

"Enjoy the show, then, I guess."

"What exactly is going to happen," asked Arya as she entered the booth behind Sasha.

"Ok, now it's getting cramped in here." Arya glared before smacking him upside the head. Livy frowned before her hands glowed blue and Arya was lifted off the ground.

"Hey!"

"Bad," said Livy before dropping her.

"Sorry about that," said Sasha as she picked up her daughter. "She's very protective of Harry. She almost didn't let him leave for Hogwarts by lifting his trunk up to a banister over her crib."

"She's too smart for her own good," said Lily's automated voice.

"Well, she gets that from me, I'm afraid. And willful determination from her father."

"It's gonna be a bad combination when she gets older," muttered Harry as he inputted the final command sequences.

"Or a great one," muttered Arya as she stood up and dusted herself off. "She has the makings of a princess."

"Don't give her ideas. She's going to be a scientist."

"Says who?"

"Says the people she's going to learn from."

"Get a room," signed Lily with a roll of her eyes.

"Harry," said Holly. "There's someone in the Server Room. It's not a registered student here in Hogwarts."

"Sonofa…" said Harry before standing up. "Lily, can you take over?" She nodded before sitting in Harry's seat and syncing with everyone else. Harry Charged over to the Server Room and looked around as Filch looked at him in surprise.

"What are you doing here," he asked, Mrs. Norris in his lap. "I thought you were in charge of the show."

"Holly said there was someone in here who shouldn't be."

"Only one here is me and Mrs. Norris." Harry looked up at the camera in the room before feeling a piece of tech to his right. Harry sent out an Electromagnetic Wave at the area and a second later a grunt could be heard as a hooded girl was knocked into the wall. "Bloody hell!"

"Cloaking tech? That actually works?!" The girl stood up and shook her head. "Who the hell are you?"

"Easy, Sparky," said the girl, speaking with a Japanese accent. "Just having a little fun."

"Sifting through my systems, no doubt. Anyone ever teach you it's not polite to go through other people's things?"

"Not like I was going through your drawers. By the way, nice boxers…"

"Oh, that's it…" Harry sparked up his arms and fired a Dual Bolt, Harry's variation of his uncle's Pincer Bolt, at the girl who rolled out of the way before activating her cloak again. Harry turned to Filch. "Call Zabini, please. I need his help with this one." Harry grunted as he felt a strong kick to his stomach and backpedaled before bringing out his Tesla Staff and swinging in a long arch around him.

"How did you know I love limbo?" Harry grunted as he was tackled to the ground out of the server room, his staff being knocked from his hand and the girl straddling him before grinning as she turned visible. "It's one of my favorite games. Care to learn another?"

"Fan of games, are ya? Here's one for you." Harry kicked her off and away from him before forming a grenade in his hand. "Dodgeball!" She simply smiled before cloaking, Harry's grenade exploding harmlessly in the middle of the hall. He turned around as Blaise arrived and tossed him a pair of goggles.

"Ooh. Up for a little ménage e trois action? Naughty boys."

"Cloaking tech," asked Blaise. "We haven't even worked out the kinks in those yet."

"Just help me catch her," said Harry as he turned on the thermal goggles while Blaise closed his eyes. He opened them again and his eyes shined with electric energy as he saw the outlines around him. "Nowhere to hide now, Girly."

"Now boys," said the invisible girl. "Take it easy on me. I'm still a virgin." Harry shook his head as he blushed.

"Fucking…"

"Focus, MacGrath," grunted Blaise. "And bring her down!" Harry called back his staff and moved to attack her before shouting in surprise and pain as she ignited a flare in her hand and blinded him.

"Fuck!"

"Tricky bitch."

"It's not nice to call a lady a bitch, handsome."

"Sorry, I'm taken." Blaise sent out an Arc Bolt to the area around him. The girl just leapt over the two and landed on his shoulders before using her momentum to swing Blaise into the air. She performed a handstand and swung the Italian boy into Harry, knocking them both to the ground.

"Fuck," shouted Harry before he growled, and his lightning turned to red. Blaise shouted in pain before rolling off of Harry as the boy stood and held out his hand. He connected to the device and overloaded it, shutting off the cloak and shocking the girl. She exclaimed in pain before throwing the device at Harry. Blaise knocked his friend to the ground and shouted as the device blew up in his face. "Blaise!"

"Sorry," said the girl. "That was meant for him, not you." Blaise grunted as he was shot with an induction round created to negate Technomancer's natural electrical capabilities by altering the electrical current in their body. Blaise dropped and Harry shot out at her, propelling himself with Thrusters from his feet.

Miranda and Lilith stood with the other newcomers as the Tesla coils worked with a little background music to recreate the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Lilith hummed along with it as Miranda smiled at the display the others had kept from her for a week before she turned to her 'mother'. "This is Harry's favorite song," she said. "Guess he couldn't resist putting it on the playlist."

"Wonderful taste," said Lilith.

"I didn't know you liked this song. We never played any music at the compound."

"I absolutely love it. Annoyed James to no end blasting it in my stereo." Miranda paused and turned to her.

"J-James?"

"My hus… husband… I…" Lilith shook her head slightly. "I finally got him to go to a concert once before… before…"

"Mum… Why don't we get you back to the room? I think you should lie down."

"You're right. I'm… I'm not feeling well…" Miranda escorted Lilith out of the Bunker and blinked as she saw a message from one of Harper's other operatives in her eyes.

J: M! Where are you?! Potential asset retrieval at Hogwarts, potential thief. Harper wants us to bring her to the Compound!

Miranda cursed under her breath, knowing that asset retrieval meant a team was being sent over. She pulled out her phone and tried calling Harry, only for Holly to appear in front of them. "Holly," she asked.

"Miranda," said the A.I.. "Harry's fighting an intruder. Blaise is down, eyes potentially damaged. Harry's activated his Red Shift!"

"Shit. The Thief."

"Miranda," said Lilith. "Watch your language."

"Holly, who can be spared from the event?"

"Why," asked Holly.

"We're about to have my old team coming for asset retrieval. A thief is here in Hogwarts. I think that's who Harry is fighting. If the team encounters them, they may potentially take Harry as well, especially if he's in rage mode."

"I think Millicent and Luna can be spared for the moment."

"Call them to me, please. They're equipped to bring Harry down if they ever meet him!"

"I can track him down," said Lilith. "I'll go on ahead."

"Wait… don't…" Miranda blinked dirt out of her eye as Lilith shifted to her dragon form, without wings, and ran to the school. "Shit!"

"What's wrong," asked Holly.

"Her memories are starting to return! The song that was playing just now acted as a strong enough stimulus to remember James! If she sees Harry…"

"It might trigger more memories to come to the surface. I'll try and stall her."

"Thank you, we can't risk her going berserk as she remembers her death." Miranda waited as Holly relayed the information to Millicent and Luna.

Harry growled as he Charged behind the girl and landed at her back before kicking at her head. The girl bent backwards, kicking Harry in the head before grinning and lobbing a device at his feet. Harry grunted as a tungsten net wrapped around him and he fell to the ground. The girl grinned before kneeling to him. "This has been fun, Sparky. But you have something I need." She placed a device on his temple and smiled at him. "Whatever you do, don't think about your passwords and PINs for your company." She grinned and kissed his cheek as Harry's mind instantly brought up said information and the device started beeping. "Bad boy… I told you not to…" She grinned at him before hearing something and activating her cloaking tech. Harry growled and tried Charging out of the net and into the camera system, only to shout as the net increased in temperature and burned him. "Don't move," she whispered as a group came into the hall, weapons drawn and aimed right at both of them.

"Kasumi Goto," said the boy in charge of the group. They all seemed to vary in age with the boy being in the middle and two adults taking up the rear. They all wore what looked like thermal imaging goggles and their guns leveled with a space of empty air. "Drop your tech, drop any weapons on your person, and get on your knees with hands behind your head."

"Thermal imaging… dammit."

"Operative J," said a voice Harry really didn't need to hear right now over a radio. "Readings indicate MacGrath is in the vicinity," said Harper. "Can you confirm?"

"Got eyes on him, sir," said J. "Chisai was kind enough to wrap him up like a present for us."

"Good. I want the Asset and the Beacon obtained immediately and…" static interrupted the transmission and J tried switching channels.

"Sir? Do you copy?"

Harry growled and broke free of the tungsten by freezing the metal to its shatter point and getting up before removing the device from his head. "You've got bigger things to worry about than getting in touch with your boss," he said as his lightning sparked around him. He pointed to Kasumi where he felt the cloaking tech. "We're not done." He moved in front of her with all of the guns now pointed at him.

"Stand down, MacGrath! We will shoot!"

"It's not me you should be aiming at right now." J paused before hearing a growling behind them and the sound of a large beast rapidly running for them from the flank. He whirled around and dropped as a red bolt landed with the back of his head, knocking him out. The remaining eight operatives divided their attention from the Technomancer and the large scaled beast bounding for them at a rapid pace. Harry's features took on a dark appearance as his skin turned ashen grey before returning to a pale look. His scar was glowing a burning red and his eyes pulsed with energy. His lightning shifted from red to orange and Harry Spark Stepped to a space in the middle of the group before slamming his staff into the head of the oldest operative in the group. At the same moment, Lilith tackled the other adult to the ground and dragged him for a few feet with her jaws before throwing him into a wall. Filch leaned out of the Server Room and stunned one of the remaining few before hiding behind the door as gunshots echoed through the hallway at him.

Harry jammed the butt of his staff into a girl's foot before calmly tripping her up and slamming her to the ground. Harry used Dismantle on her weapon and levitated the blunt pieces into the air. He shot the metal pieces forward and disarmed three of the operatives before getting hit with an Induction Round and feeling his electricity being disrupted. Harry shouted out in pain before throwing his staff like a spear and impacting with the helmet of the one who shot him. Lilith slammed her tail into two of the youngest, probably about 11 years each, and knocked them out before turning her body to the side to avoid getting shot in the eyes by the incoming bullets.

Holly monitored the fights and trapped stray bullets with calculated hard light boxes to avoid them hurting anyone in the vicinity while trapping the thief, Kasumi Goto, in a box of her own as she tried to escape. That's when she noticed something. Another presence in the Gibraltar System. Another A.I.. Holly barely had time to register that fact before receiving a Zip Bomb and her systems were filled with a repeating algorithm as control was taken from her. The hard light barriers turned yellow in color and the intercoms turned on, projecting the current song in the Technomancy display, Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. "Holly," said Harry as he removed the Induction Round and Spark Stepped beside Lilith as the music brought more memories to the surface.

"Holly is not in control," said the A.I. and Harry paused as he heard the voice. Kessler's voice. "Things are progressing too slowly. Actions must be taken. A discernible outcome has been found. Prophet A.I. is now online. Priority 1. Establish a sensible connection." And just as suddenly as he took control, Prophet was gone, and Holly was free from the Zip Bomb. But the damage was done. Lilith crumpled to the ground and roared in pain as she reverted to her human form and gripped her head. Harry glanced at her and something snapped. Seeing the image of his birth mother in so much pain, more memories awakened, but not in Lilith, in Harry himself.

(October 31st, 2001)

A one year old Harry laughed as he was carried in the arms of his mother, dancing to one of her favorite Queen songs. He didn't quite understand the words, but his mother's smile and the way she moved was enough to make him laugh with glee. Then the phone rang, and Lilith pouted before turning off the music and placing him in his crib. "This is Lily Potter," she said. Young Harry frowned as his mother turned from him to speak on the phone and turned to the magical stuffed lion at his feet before playing with it. "Hello, Robert. How are things at… what?" Harry looked up at his mother and saw a look of worry on her face, the same look she got when he scrapped his knee before she kissed it with a jolt of lightning and healed it in his first attempt at walking. "What do you mean you're sorry?! Robert!"

"What's going on," asked Harry's father as he came into Harry's bedroom. "Lily, what's wrong?"

"That was my friend Robert. He said that…" An explosion shook the building and James turned to the exit of the room.

"The Fidelius just dropped. What…"

"James, it's Voldemort! Robert said he's here!"

"Oh no… Dammit, Peter! Lily, stay with Harry!"

"But James…"

"I'll hold him off! Just get Harry to safety!" Harry watched and whined as he felt afraid, he'd never heard his parents speak like that before and he was scared. He reached for his father as the man rushed out of the room and Lily picked him up after putting on a crystal necklace.

"Hold on, Harry. We're getting out of here and we'll come back and get Daddy, ok?" Lily kissed his head before lightning arced around them and they shot to the wall socket. Lily grunted as something pushed them back and she looked at the wall in fear as he eyes showed glowing blue lines. "No, no, no…" Harry cried as he felt pain, his forehead feeling wet after they landed on the ground. Lily shushed him before placing him in his crib and cutting her palm before marking his forehead, just under the small cut and marking the wall behind him before crying out in pain as she slumped over his crib.

"M-Mama," cried Harry as he reached for her. Lily met her sons eyes as the glowing eyes shifted in Harry's view. She kissed his forehead and whispered gently to him before turning to the door and the glowing red eyes beneath a black hood.

"Step aside," said the eerie voice. "You don't have to die for the boy."

"If you think for one second I'll let you anywhere near my son, Riddle, then your more insane than I originally predicted!"

"Then join your weak husband in the afterlife! Avada Kedavra!"

"Feedback!" Lily held out her hands and blue and yellow lightning met green. Riddle shouted in pain as his own lightning and Lily's rebounded before he pushed more power into his spell. Lily gasped her lightning was overwhelmed and the green lightning struck her in the chest. Lily collapsed against the crib and tumbled it to the ground. Harry crawled to his mother and shook her as he tried to make sure she was ok. "Foolish girl. Dying for a child. With all that power, you could've bred a new generation of strength." Harry looked at the scary man who hurt his mother. "Now then, Harry Potter. Time to die and stop this Prophecy nonsense." The crystal around Lily's neck glowed as did several shapes that had been painted on his walls as the man aimed his wand at Harry. "Avada Kedavra!" Harry's hand reached out to his mother's crystal and blue lightning shot from the crystal to him before coalescing into a sphere in front of his body and blocked the green lightning. Harry cried as lightning arced and struck his forehead before everything turned white.

(Reality)

As Harry's repressed memories awoke, Miranda, Millicent and Luna arrived in the hallway and saw half of the acquisition team down. The last four Acquisition Operatives bore down on the two combatants who were momentarily stunned for one reason or another. "Shit," said Miranda as he sparked up her arms.

"Get down," exclaimed Luna as she tackled both of them to the ground. One of the Operatives turned around and took aim at them before pausing as the sound of slicing air rushed past her companions. They turned to her and watched as her body dropped to the ground, head rolling down the hall at the one who killed her. A boy about 13 years old and with freshly healed burn scars on the right side of his face smirked as his body generated black lightning around him.

"Revenant," exclaimed the oldest, a boy the age of 19. "What the fuck?!"

"Relax," said Revenant. "Lisa was working for the First Sons. Mr. Harper ordered me to deal with her." Miranda looked at the boy and glared as she saw him. "Hello, Lawson."

"Kai Lang," said Miranda with venom in her voice.

"Nice of you to rear your head again. And keeping Lazarus in check. Boss is gonna love this."

"Fuck off."

"And what do we have here?" He paused as he stood in front of the trapped Kasumi Goto. "Three assets in one day. This'll make up for the Vatican Job, at least. You almost cleaned us out, Chisai! Mr. Harper was impressed!" He walked over to the group and pulled J to his feet. "Get up, Jacob! Shoddy job."

"Fuck you, Kai," said Jacob as he shook his head. Revenant chuckled darkly before standing a few feet in front of Harry and Lilith.

"Two Beacons a thief and a Seer. My luck is looking up." Kai Lang blasted a black bolt of lightning at Harry and knocked the boy off his feet before picking up Harry's Tesla staff and melting it with his lightning. He picked up his sword and smirked. "Wake the others and bring these people in."

"If you think you're going anywhere," said Holly as she shut off the cameras in their portion of the hallway and projected walls of Hardlight between the Operatives and the students. "Then you're a fool."

"Almost forgot about Harry's pet A.I.. Holly, was it? Be a good little program and do as you're told. Drop the barriers and let me through."

"Not a chance in fucking hell."

"Oh ho! Cursing from an Artificial Intelligence. That's a new one! Alright then…" Kai Lang discharged his lightning into the lights above him and had them arc into the Gibraltar cameras outside the barriers. "Everyone always forgets the lights." Power went out all over the school as the Black Lightning shorted out all sources of energy, including Holly. Harry snapped out of his stupor as he felt the energy drop and clutched his head as all of the Hogwarts Technomancers in the hall dropped in the Dark Zone, all suffering from the lack of energy as Holly shot into the Bunker to warn the others.

"That's better." Kai Lang grinned as his lightning arced even more, keeping him sustained. He knelt in front of Harry with a sadistic smile. "The great Harry MacGrath. Not so great now, are we? Why Mr. Harper wants you is beyond me. I'm sure anyone can be a fucking Beacon." Harry growled and stood up as his lightning arced weakly around his arms. "Still got some fight? Alright then. Let's put you in your place!" Kai Lang shot forward and stabbed his sword into Harry's leg. Harry shouted in pain as he gripped the boy's arms. Harry felt his electricity drain instantly and Kai grinned. Harry strained as he struggled to remove the blade from his leg. "I'm the better man, MacGrath. You should learn to respect your sup…" Kai Lang shouted in surprise before being thrown into the other Operatives. Harry looked at who threw him and saw Lilith standing in front of him.

"Get the hell away from my son," she said as her body sparked with blue and yellow lightning. Kai Lang growled before looking at the woman.

"Who the fuck are you?!"

"Lily Potter nee Evans. Or Lilith Lawson if you want to think recently. But all you should know me as is this…" Kai Lang blinked as the woman vanished. Harry watched as Lilith appeared behind Revenant. "I'm the fucking Devil to you." Kai swung his fist at her and grinned, thinking his lightning would affect her as well. Lilith just grabbed his fist and shook her head. "Anti-Technomancy. Jackie sure is losing his touch if he thinks this is a good idea." Kai Lang dropped to his knees as she bent his arm downwards, his team watching on in shock. "Enhanced physical strength? No doubt from the Storm Dragon genetics Crouch put in me. Fucking lunatic. Oh. Increased anger and aggression. That's gonna take some getting used to. Not so fast." Lilith waved her hands and the guns the others were holding instantly dismantled themselves as a wave of lightning passed between them all as they finally aimed at her. "Guns. It's always guns with you people. Really, there's no sense of flair." Lilith raised her hands to the cameras and lights and started everything up once more. "And as for you, Kai Lang. If you're wondering how I'm not being drained, I'm not an idiot. I invented this magic. Sure, Robert Kessler had some insight, cheating arsehole that he was, but I still understood it better than he did." Miranda, Luna, and Millicent looked at her as displayed her power. "Now then, Jacob, was it?"

"Y-yes ma'am," said the dark skinned boy with an American accent.

"Do get Jackie on the line. My radio wave interference should be under control now that I'm not in my reptilian form. I want to speak with him." Jacob swallowed before doing as he was told. Kai tried to punch her again, only to cry out in pain as she snapped his finger backwards. "Do be smarter, Mr. Lang. Or you'll lose more than a finger next time."

"There you are," shouted Harper on the radio as Jacob held it up. "Operative J. Has Revenant arrived to transport MacGrath."

"Hello, Jackie Boy! I should thank you for being dumb enough to wake me up!" Lily grinned as she was met with silence. "I've only got one thing to say to you, Harper. Leave my children alone. They're all I've got left and if you try to take them from me… well… Have you ever heard a thunderstorm? Would you like to feel one?" She snapped and the radio fell apart before she threw Kai Lang to the others and levitated the deceased girl onto a bed she conjured before conjuring a sheet over her and vanishing the blood on the stone floor. "All of you, get out of here. And reconsider staying a part of Cerberus. You really don't want to see me when I'm angry." Jacob activated a Mass Transport and the Cerberus retrieval team disappeared in a flash of electricity. Lilith moved to Miranda as everyone in the hall stood silent and stunned. "Are you alright," she asked.

"I…" stammered Miranda. "I'm fine…"

"Good." Lilith stood up strait and turned to Harry as he pulled the sword out of his leg. Twin pairs of emerald eyes met, and Harry froze. Her words caught up to him and for the first time in his life at DMT, Harry was speechless.

"M-mom…" stuttered Harry after what felt like an eternity of silence. Lily Potter teared up slightly before rushing over to Harry and pulling him into a hug as Isabel, Cindy, Daphne and Susan ran into the hall, pausing as they saw the aftermath of the battle.

"Oh, Harry. I'm so sorry for leaving you alone!" Holly appeared above the two and turned to Miranda.

"What happened," asked the A.I., voicing the question on everyone's mind.
