Chapter 13 – To be continued?

After gating back to the SGC Ron and Gawain returned to England and the Ministry of Magic with a request from General Hammond for the Minister for Magic to particiapte a debriefing. Ron soon flooed to the Burrow.

"Ron!" Hermione yelled when she saw him step out of the fireplace and threw herself all over him "How are you?"

"Fine. Anubis is toast and Baal took control of his fleet and will now most likely be challenged by every goa'uld in the galaxy."

"That means they'll be busy." Hermione concluded.

"Yeah, and General Hammond seems certain of the goa'ulds leaving us alone, because they wouldn't dare challenge us" Ron added looking at Harry entering the kitchen, with Ginny's arm around him "Harry, honestly, you look like shit. Was that Horcrux bad?"

Ron bit his lip immediately, realising he'd put his foot in his mouth.

"The what?" Ginny flashed looking at both her boyfriend and her brother.

Hermione came to the rescue.

"Gin. You know we told you about Voldemort and his Horcruxes." She said, as Harry had insisted on letting Ginny know about their ordeal last year. "We found another one, not Riddle's, but it had to be destroyed so we wouldn't get into a third wizarding war."

Ginny relaxed considerably. She knew just how horrible a Horcrux was from her experiences with Tom Riddle's diary. Harry wanted to tell her about what they had been doing along with the American team, but knew there were details of this that he wasn't allowed to tell her. But once they were alone he would fill her in. He had shut her out and left her after professor Dumbledore's death. Now they were together again and he would share what he could with her.

"It was a pre-emptive strike. Against an old Egyptian dark wizard, fooling around with a Horcrux..." Harry told her.

Ginny relaxed knowing there were confidential aspects of Harry's work for the Ministry, but still he let her know what they were doing. Molly entered the kitchen seeing Hermione in Ron's arms. Ron blushed as he didn't quite know what to tell his mum. Of course he wanted to get together with Hermione, and they were unofficially together.

"So, you finally got together?" Molly asked them straightforward.

Ron looked at Hermione. A silent Are we? was clearly asked and after that they both nodded.

"I guess we are... finally..." Hermione said grinning at her crimson blushed boyfriend.

"Let me get Arthur." Molly said leaving the kitchen mumbling that it's about ruddy time.

When Arthur joined them there was a spontaneous celebration for Ron and Hermione. The trio also revealed that their job with the Americans was finished, except for a bunch of reports.

"I hope they will visit us again." Arthur said "I liked them, especially that charming Miss Carter."

Molly sighed thinking about that evening, when Arthur had explained everything about Muggle air planes for her.

"I think we will. We still have a lot to learn from each other." Hermione said

Walter Harriman was half asleep at the end of his shift. The last couple of weeks had been demanding, and now he relaxed knowing that Anubis was defeated. Daniel Jackson had reassured them that the others would deal with him, now that he was taken to their plane of existence. He regained full awareness as the Stargate began to spin. He punched the alarm and spoke in the internal speaker system.

"Unscheduled incoming wormhole."

Moments later General Hammond was there and the gate connected.

"It's Atlantis, sir" Harriman reported.

General Hammond pushed a button and opened a video link.

"Atlantis, this is general Hammond at the SGC."

"General" Colonel Shepard's voice was heard. "We are under attack by a hive. Request immediate assistance. Our ZPM holds for now, but our situation is... strained. "

General Hammond thought about it for a moment.

"Can I call back in an hour?"

"Sure. We'll still be here." Shepard replied. "Atlantis out."

The stargate disconnected and general Hammond looked at Harriman."

"Walter, call colonel O'Neill. Tell him to get SG-1 and SG-M here."

***

Jack O'Neill had loaded his video recorder with Simpsons and was just about to open a long overdue beer when the phone rang. He sighed, seeing the number, and answered.

"For crying out loud, we just threw the goa'uld into a civil war, whooped Anubis out of our existence. What now?"

"Sorry sir." Harriman said. "The general asked you to come to the SGC immediately. With SG-M."

Jack sighed. Not even a day after Anubis defeat and there was something new.

"We'll be there..." Jack sighed and returned the beer to the fridge.

A/N That's it for this story... There is a pretty obvious possibility for a sequel...
