Notes: Sorry this chapter took so long to get out, a personal emergency immerged that was followed by my bedroom flooding and my computer failing the subsequent buoyancy check. ;)

Many thanks to James Axelrad for all his help

Luna felt her stomach drop, she had forgotten about Harry; looking over at the clock she paled Harry had been asleep for over three hours. Rising from her chair she bolted to the door.

Jack paused to look at the general, seeing him nod; he followed the girl out of the room with Daniel and Carter hot on his heels.

Knowing that Luna could not possibly know where she was going having only been to the infirmary once Jack called out, "Luna wait, I'll take you there."

His words having the desired effect of getting Luna to stop to wait for him Jack placed his hand on her shoulder and began to guide her to the infirmary at a quickened pace.

Noticing the from marking the teens features Jack asked, while they waited for the elevator, "Do you know what's going on with your friend?"

Luna nodded and replied, "Voldemort attacks her when she sleeps."

Jack turned to Daniel to see if the name rung a bell with him, seeing a vacant look Jack asked, "Who's Voldemort?"

"The dark Lord."

Pulling Luna with him into the elevator Jack said, "The same guy that killed…"

"Yes."

Whether or not Jack believed in magic was no longer an issue as the early mornings happenings at Daniels showed all to well that there were ways to invade someone's mind in their sleep. Almost afraid to ask Jack whispered, "What does he do?"

Thought it was said in a whisper everyone in the elevator heard Jacks question and awaited Luna's reply, "He's tries to do bad things but I wake Harry up before he can."

Jack squeezed the girl's shoulder and just stood their offering silent support as the elevator closed down on its destination.

The moment Jack and Luna entered the infirmary Jack knew something was really wrong, he could clearly hear Janet shouting orders over the chaos. Following the noise Jack lead Luna, Carter and Daniel to the private observation rooms.

Upon reaching the door Luna rushed forward and flung it open, not stopping she made a beeline for Harry's bed but was restrained by one of the many nurses in the room that was not currently occupied with holding Harry down.

Jack stepped in right behind Luna followed by Daniel and Carter, placing his hand back on Luna's shoulder to calm her down he looked around for the doctor and saw that she was in the process of injecting something into Harry's arm. Tilting his head towards Luna's Jack said, "Luna we are going to need you to stay calm to help Harry okay. Just answer the doc as truthfully as you can if she asks you something."

Luna nodded and watched unable to do anything, as Harry seemed to spasm erratically. Seconds seemed to last for hours as Luna watched, helpless to do anything. Finally, Harry seemed to calm down and lay unmoving.

Janet sighed as she moved away from the bed, after barking a few more orders at her staff to run a few more tests she moved over to Colonel O'Neill and Luna. Wiping the sweat from her forehead she looked at Luna and asked, "Does your friend have any allergies or medical conditions?"

Luna looked back and said, "I don't know."

"Does your friend have a history of seizures?"

Looking back at Jack for support Luna replied, "No… But I don't think she was having a seizure…" Grateful that Jack was still being supportive Luna dredged forward with, "if Harry… Uhm… Sleeps for a few hours she gets attacked… I've had to wake her up after three hours for the past few days."

Janet looked at Jack with total disbelief and if it were not for the fact that he nodded Janet would not have accepted it as fact and pressed the girl for another answer, but if Colonel O'Neill was going along with it then that was good enough for her as anything seems to be possible when the Colonel is involved. Plus when she looked back at Luna she could see fear and hopelessness in her eyes that pleaded with her to believe her, giving off a sigh she said, "I can't wake her up. She's not responding to anything I've given her."

"DOCTOR WE NEED YOU OVER HERE!"

Janet jerked her head around and made her way over to the bedside and stopped in shock before ordering, "Get her uncovered, stop the bleeding and get those wounds dressed."

Jack and Luna followed behind the doctor only to gasp in shock; long cuts were starting to form on Harry's body soaking the sheets with blood. Jack not wanting Luna to get in they way turned himself to where he was blocking her view and wrapped his arms around her, while trying to guide her back out of the way.

For the next several minutes they were unable to do anything other than watch as Janet and her team worked hard to contain the bleeding and patch up the wounds. After a few minutes though Janet pulled her team back and began to fasten restraints onto Harry to prevent her from moving and hurting herself. Taking a few steps back she turned and re-approached Colonel O'Neill and said, "Colonel, the wounds are now closing on their own, I'm sorry to say this but I'm at a loss, nothing we do seems to be working and I think that the wounds closing on their own is a very bad sign."

Jack nodded, if Harry was being tortured in her sleep, like Luna said, and whomever was doing had abilities similar to Luna then there was a very real possibility that whomever was doing it was healing her before he started again, after all he had personally lived through something very similar not very long ago at the hands of Ba'al. Clearing his throat and inwardly cursing what he was about to say Jack asked, "Do you think the Tok'ra could help?"

Janet shook her head and replied, "It depends, they can probably keep her stable but I don't even know if it's possible to wake her up and even if that's the case then what do we do next time?"

Jack looked at Luna briefly before turning back to Janet and asked, "What if we send her through the gate?"

Janet pursed her lips and said, "I don't know, it depends on how they are being connected. I really don't have that much information to make a call one way or the other."

Jack filed that away, as a last resort he would send Harry through the gate and face the consequences later if need be.

Sam had been staying nearby the Colonel incase he needed help with Luna and had overheard everything Janet said. Adding that to what Luna had said in the elevator she let her mind begin to spin and work through the problem. While she was not a medical doctor she knew she could come up with the answer.

In some way's Harry's problem was similar to what Daniel had just went through with the exception of the fact that Osiris had been playing nice. Having an idea pop into her astrophysicist brain Sam turned to her other teammate and said, "Daniel, call up Teal'c and have him bring the devices that Osiris used to get into your dreams, then I need you to go to the storage lockers and sign out one of the Goa'uld healing devices."

Daniels eye's widened with realization as he figured out why Sam wanted them. Quickly turning around he made his way into Janet's office to place the call.

Turning back to Janet and Jack Sam said, "I think I have something that might work."

Instantly three sets of eyes were on her, reaching forth into her confidence she stated, "We can use the devices Osiris used on Daniel to enter Harry's mind."

Jack stared at Carter for a moment before he asked, "And how is that going to help?"

"Sir, if we can get somebody in there maybe we can distract whomever is doing this long enough to be able to pull Harry out of it, that is if this Voldemort guy is the one keeping her asleep it's either that or since we know that Osiris was controlling Daniels dreams then it might be possible to pull Harry out of her dream and into who ever uses the device. .At best it's fifty fifty Sir." Looking at Luna, Sam paused and said, "But I think we need to keep Harry calm, to do that I think we should have Luna attempt to use the ribbon device to do that while I use one of the Goa'uld healing devices in an attempt to prevent any further blood loss."

Noticing Jack's raised eyebrow she continued, "Well sir, I'm not sure about using this technology but I did watch Osiris do it to Daniel and she did something with the Ribbon device before she went into her trance. So she either forced Daniel into a deeper sleep or had to do something to activate the device… Either way, I think Luna is the best bet to do that, I don't think I have enough control to be able to keep it steady… All we can do is try and see if it works."

Jack looked back at Janet to see her shrug and say, "If it works it works, I'm really at a loss on this one, Sir."

Turning his attention back to Luna who had been silently clutching his hand during the entire display he said, "Luna, do you think you can do what Major Carter said, I know it's asking a lot but this is the best thing we can think of to help your friend."

Luna nodded nervously, and replied, "That was my first time using this thing… I've read about it and have a book that tells me how to use it but…"

Sam reached out and squeezed the young teens hand before saying, "I could use it too Luna but it takes a lot of concentration and effort, not to mention time for me to do it. That's why I'll be handling a healing device; I seem to be able to use one of those with less effort. We really need you to do this, your friend needs you."

Noticing that Harry was about to go into seizures again Sam took Luna over to a spot near the head of the bed and encouraged Luna to try to focus on calming Harry down. Beads of sweat started to pour down Luna's face in her efforts but after a minute a soft glow began to emit from the device that seemed to have a somewhat calming effect on Harry's seizures as they seemed to become not as wild. Despite Luna's efforts though[, Harry continued to have seizures, albeit instead of violent thrashings they were reduced to small tremors.

Jack was about to say something congratulatory when he heard commotion coming from the hall. Taking a few steps over to the door he opened it and peered out instantly noting that both Teal'c and the General were moving down the hall towards him. Deciding to keep Teal'c from entering the room and possibly spooking Luna more Jack moved to intercept.

As they closed in on each other Teal'c called out in a near whisper, as he was wary of frightening Luna himself, "O'Neill, I have the device as requested."

"Any word on Daniel, to see if he managed to find one of those healing doohickeys?" Jack asked quickly, knowing that if the seizures were symbolizing pain and Luna was diminishing that pain then it was only a matter of time before the sicko dark whatever decided to start cutting Harry up again.

"Coming Jack." Daniel called as he managed to skirt around the older man and scoot into Harry's room with the device in question.

Not wanting to waste any more time Jack held out his hand and collected the two devices, and promptly rushed back into the isolated room. Without loosing a beat he moved forward and placed one of the devices on Harry's head. Just as he was about to place the last one on his own temple Daniel spoke up and asked, "Jack, you sure you don't want me to do this?"

"Just catch me if I fall so I don't break nothing." Without a further word Jack placed the device on his temple.

Lord Voldemort was as giddy as a schoolgirl, well as giddy as an egomaniacal bastard can be. The reason behind his joy was that whomever had been watching the cursed thorn in his side had finally slipped up and not managed to wake Harry up in time to prevent him from grabbing a hold of Harry's mind.

He knew part of it was thanks to a dark ritual that allowed him to travel longer distances on the astral plane, buying him time to trace down Harry's mind with his own connection while at the same time giving him further control of the mental domain of Harry's dreamscape, allowing him total domination of the happenings in Harry's mind.

Currently he had just finished using a rather sinister looking knife that looked like a several snakes had wrapped themselves around the blade, to cut deep gashes into Harry in an effort to further weaken his nemesis. Though he had regretfully been forced to heal the wounds shortly after inflicting them, as he wanted to savor his time spent breaking Harry Potter.

Deciding that Harry had enough rest before he moved onto the next session Voldemort approached the feminized teen confidently and taunted, "Harry, Harry, Harry, What would your friends say if they could see you now? Naked and chained to the wall like the whore you will soon become…"

Gasping for air as she tried to overcome the lingering pain from exposure to multiple Crucio's and being sliced up Harry gritted out, "Don't know… Maybe that you… are… sick freak… pedophile… "

Voldemort laughed loudly as he reached out to cup Harry's breast. Leaning in closely he whispered, "Flattery will get you nowhere."

With her face frowning in disgust Harry decided to attempt to fight back once more, sure she was chained to the wall with the shackles on her arms the only thing keeping her upright but Voldemort had moved within striking range so the moment that he finished whispering in her ear, Harry reared back and thrust her head forward intent on giving the bastard one hell of a head butt.

SMACK

"Still have some of that famed Griffindor courage left in you still…" Voldemort chuckled as he regained his balance after having Harry head butt him. Deciding that he still had plenty of time for some more fun Voldemort slinked forward once more and re-cupped one of Harry's breasts while maintaining enough distance to where Harry was unable to lash out against him again.

Still in apparent good Humor Voldemort let his face twist into a sinister smile as he tightened his hold on Harry's breast causing the teen to grunt in displeasure.

"We could have done this the easy way Harry, all you had to do was accept your fate and I would have made it worthwhile… but no… you had to be a stubborn fool and refuse it… It's a shame really, together we could have ruled the wizarding world and eventually the Muggles."

Releasing his hold on Harry Voldemort took a few steps back and frowned before saying, "Do you think I enjoy hurting you? Do you think I want to be your enemy? Harry I want nothing more than to be your friend. Can't you understand that?"

Having regained her breath Harry sneered and shot back, "Oh I understand alright. I understand that underneath it all you're just an incompetent freak who was terrified of a baby."

Letting his anger show, Voldemort rushed forward and wrapped his hand around Harry's neck, forcing it to impact against the dream constructed stonewall. With his face inches away from Harry's Voldemort hissed, "You know nothing about true fear." With his free hand sliding up Harry's thigh he continued, "But you will… Oh yes you will. And when it's over you will be mine… Totally… Undeniably… Unwaveringly… Devoted to me and even grateful for whatever scraps I throw your way… Just like the little bitch you are."

Not wanting to give in and show how scared she was Harry forced herself to summon all the false bravado she could muster and spat in Voldemort's face, causing the man to release his hold on her neck and back off a few paces. Now able to breath Harry fired back, "NEVER… I'LL NEVER GIVE IN TO YOU…" Her throat already sore from being tortured Harry was unable to continue to rant as she broke out into hacking coughs.

"We'll see… We'll see, Harry." Appearing to be distraught Voldemort continued, "But alas… It seems that I have been dawdling a bit, I think that we should get this little show on the road." Holding out his hand Voldemort concentrated for a brief moment, causing a wand to appear in his hand. Waving it around with a flourish he cooed, "Now, I do believe it is time to begin anew our little game… I torture… you scream…" Not waiting for Harry to issue a comeback Voldemort called out, "Crucio." Sending Harry's world into writhing agony.

"Yes, YES… That's it… Let me hear you scream Harry… Let it all out… Let me hear you…. We make such beautiful music together… Just like a banshee's call." Voldemort crooned while Harry screamed.

The pain seemed to last forever as Harry thrashed against her bonds that held her to the wall. Just when she thought that she could take no more the pain seemed to lessen greatly, allowing her some respite. Sure she was still being tortured but her pain threshold was no longer being stretched boundlessly, in fact Harry felt she could almost bear the reduced pain having become rather accustomed to the previous levels.

Her screams cutting off Harry began to laugh bitterly, she was sure that she was going insane and wondered briefly if Neville's parents felt the same way before they succumbed to the madness.

Voldemort frowned; he could feel interference with his link, almost as if someone was trying to push him away. The frown quickly turned into a sinister smile that was enhanced by his snake like features as he felt some new presences enter Harry's mind. Putting a halt to the curse Voldemort stated, "It seems that we are about to have company."

Childishly clapping his hands he continued, "Somebody else wants to play… I wonder whomever could it be? Someone from Dumbledore's order perhaps? No no they're all accounted for." Giving Harry a stern glare he asked in a childlike voice, "Did you find some new friends on your futile little trip?"

Jack looked around the room with a sense of sick wonder, whomever had imagined this place definitely had some issues. He was in a large stone room decorated with several murals and statues depicting horrific death scenes that showed the worse in humanity. There seemed to be blood pooled in various locations on the floor coming from the ceiling that seemed to be tastelessly decorated with fleshy looking strands.

Jack shuddered at the room, he probably would have been a bit freaked out but spitting in the eyes of death several times had somewhat jaded him from being creeped out by the whole evil lair thing.

Seeing an exit Jack crept forward using his stealth so as to not tip off the bad guy that he was lurking about. Entering the corridor Jack maintained himself to the shadows, silently slinking forward in his search.

12345534321

The dimly lit stone corridor's seemed to continue endlessly, threading by several horrific rooms each one terrifying in their own way, though Jack managed not to have to venture into them as he favored to just look into the room from the doorway leading into the room.

Feeling that time was of the essence Jack sped up his pace and continued down the passageway until he started coming across several closed doors. Silently cursing to himself that now he would be delayed even further as he needed to listen closely at each door to see if the rooms were occupied, otherwise he knew that he might very well pass up the room that Harry was being held in.

As he went from door to door, pressing his ear against them to listen to the faintest signs of life Jack idly wondered why everything had to always be so Damm complicated. Just as he was about to move onto the next-door Jack stopped, he had definitely heard something coming from the room.

Crouching down next to the large old-fashioned keyhole Jack tried to peer into the darkness within, as it would not be all that bright to just barge in and ruin the element of surprise.

Not seeing anything but inky blackness Jack cursed to himself again, it looked like he was not going to be given a choice in the matter. Standing up with his back now against the wall Jack grasped the handle of the large wooden door and slowly tested it to see if it was unlocked.

Hearing a faint click Jack hoped that whomever was in the room was too preoccupied to notice the sound. Without losing his grip on the handle he began to slowly open the door to where it was opened to barely a crack and paused.

Now that he had a better way to view the room Jack moved and peered into the room from the slightly askew doorway. Still not seeing anything other than inky blackness Jack considered that perhaps he had been imagining things and not heard anything after all.

"Still though, I better check the room out just incase, who knows maybe I'll get lucky." Shaking out of his thoughts Jack moved into motion and slowly swung the door open, just enough to slip in.

His head had just passed through the threshold when he was tackled from the side. Rolling wit the tackle Jack managed to managed to swing his attacker underneath him forcing the unknown assailant to take the brunt of the impact. Taking his arm, Jack placed it across his assailant's neck. As he moved his head to get a look at the unknown figure Jack felt another body collide with his back, forcing him to roll off his would be attacker. Unfortunately, before he could fully complete his roll to shake off the new attacker Jack felt a set of teeth dig into his shoulder, forcing him to roll back the other way to where his face landed in-between two soft pillows. Unable to contain himself he muffled out, "Dammit, that hurt."

"Colonel?"

Hearing the familiar voice of his trusted 2IC, Jack realized that his head was not nestled in between two pillows but rather that he was in a seemly compromising position. Confused as to how she managed to get pulled into the mess when she was supposed to be awake and watching over Harry, Jack managed to get out a muffled, "Carter."

Thankful that the near total darkness of the room was hiding her steadily increasing blush, Sam embarrassingly asked, "Uhm sir? Do you think that you could move off of me?"

Highly embarrassed himself at being in such a compromising position with his 2IC Jack stopped himself from attempting to reply with a nod correctively thinking that perhaps that might not be the best action to take. Still loaded down with an extra weight on his back, Jack moved his arms to either side of the Major's and pushed up.

Still being weighted down by a unknown person on his back who had thankfully released his flesh from their mouth Jack asked, "Carter, do you think you could ask who ever is on my beck to get off of me so I can get up?"

"You didn't say please." Pouted a very familiar voice.

"Luna?" Jack groaned as he felt the weight leave his back allowing him to stand up. Offering his Hand to Major Carter he asked, "Anyone else decide to join in the fun?"

Standing up and dusting herself off Carter answered, "I don't think so sir, I think the reason that Luna and I got pulled in with you has something to do with the fact that Luna and I were using the devices on Harry when you activated the other device. It could be that there was some sort of feedback that sucked us in after you, hence the fact that we were stuck in this room before you showed up.

Moving back to the doorway and peering out into the hall Jack asked, "Any idea oh how we're going to get out of here when we find Harry?"

"No Sir, not with all three of us in here." Sam answered.

Resisting the urge to rub his temples Jack said, "Fine, we'll just wing it then. Carter stay behind me with Luna, when we find Harry I'll be the distraction while you two help her."

Stepping through the doorway to continue the search, Jack paused and asked, "By the way, why were you waiting in that room?"

"We weren't waiting Sir, it was locked and we couldn't open it from the inside." Sam replied somewhat embarrassed.

Jack shrugged, the door had opened just fine for him, maybe it was just locked on the inside or something.

123454321

Voldemort frowned to himself as he sensed the interlopers drawing closer with every minute. He had intentionally been manipulating Harry's dreamscape in an effort to keep the group apart from one another but it seemed one person in the group was able to counteract his manipulations.

Looking over to the naked bound form of one Harry Potter Voldemort debated his next move, sure he could just stay where he was and continue to torture the little tart but then that might give the interlopes the chance to get the drop on him and he was a bit wary of that considering at least one of the members of the group was talented enough to counteract his own manipulations. He realized that he might be better off turning the tables on them by setting up a trap, at least that way he would have a few minutes to better observe these unknowns and be better prepared to face them.

It was not that he was afraid of losing, he was after Lord Voldemort whose only equal was a hundred and fifty year old wizard that was now unknowingly in his pocket. No setting up a trap had nothing to do with fear, it was more about planning.

Ever since he had first gone to Hogwarts he had realized that despite all the wonders of the Magical world the people that ran it were often nothing more than fools, sheep, people who lacked the ability to think outside of their own little world and often enough unwilling to do so.

By his third year Voldemort had realized that the wizarding worlds own ignorance could be used to his benefit as it would be possible to manipulate them into virtually anything he wanted, so he learned, everything and anything he could about the world to which he was now a member of. He had already learned in his first year about some of the politics concerning purebloods and had begun the long road to molding the wizarding world to his liking, sure he knew that there were a lot of people whom would resist him and his ideals, but that's why he had become a dark lord and opted to preach pureblood supremacy.

Because with preaching pureblood supremacy came purebloods who would give him money and their lives because they themselves believed in the dribble that he fed them. He might of preferred a more indirect approach but aside from being the heir to Slytheryn he was only a half blood and knew that as a half blood he would never gather enough support to make his dreams a reality.

But despite his planning he had still failed the first time around because he had not taken everything into consideration. If it had not been for the fact that he had found a means to separate his soul to protect himself from permanent death he would have never been given another chance to finish what he had started all those years ago.

Stepping back and giving the young potter a calculating gaze he thought, "Yes, a trap would do nicely, not only would it give these unknowns a false sense of security but it would give me a chance to find out exactly what I am dealing with. Then once they are in position I can strike and prove to young Harry that resistance is Futile, that one way or another she will be mine and there is nothing anyone can do to save her. Yes, this is a grand opportunity, too much so to let it go to waste."

Grinning sinisterly, Voldemort raised his wand and conjured a gag over Harry's mouth as it would not do to have Harry scream out a warning until it was too late. Not wanting to leave the feminized teen without something to think about Voldemort swept forward, gripping Harry's hair with one hand and sliding the other down her smooth skin he leaned in and stole a kiss through Harry's gagged mouth. Pulling back he cooed, "Don't worry my sweet, some matters have just come to my attention, I'll be right back."

Harry had never felt so disgusted in her life, well aside form that one time where she had seen Aunt Marge naked oh and the one time he had left his cupboard in the middle of the night to see Vernon and Aunt Petunia on the table. Regardless of official ranking Harry was doing everything she could to keep the vomit from rising up her throat, while wishing that she could take a nice long shower with a steel wool lufa to get Voldemort's stench off of her.

In her mind she realized what Voldemort was trying to do and was doing everything she could to either ignore it or deal with it. But one thought came into her mind when he left and that was, "Where in Merlin's beard is he going now? I know he's not going to leave me here until he finishes but what else is there to do in here?"

123456654342321

"Finally!" Jack thought as he lead his small group down the corridor and into an archway that lead to a rather large, brightly lit chamber. Motioning for Carter to keep herself and Luna hidden, Jack flattened himself against the wall and cautiously listened for any sign of the room being occupied.

During the seemly never-ending trek he had been hoping that Harry was just caught up in some sort of twisted self induced nightmare, but upon seeing some of the rather obscenely grotesque rooms that he had kept Luna from peering into Jack was having his doubts as he felt no one could be that twisted without a snake in their head. SO now he was back to assuming that there was indeed some outside source that was controlling Harry's mindscape, though he had to wonder about a few things.

It appeared that Jack was the only one who could open up doors, as both Sam and Luna had not been able to. Carter had theorized that it was because he was the one who was using the dream device, while the other two had just been pulled along for the ride. That made things a bit more complicated for Jack, as now he was the only one that could affect this dream besides whomever else was in here with Harry. That meant that not only did he have to rescue the teen but also at the same time he had to keep the others from getting trapped.

After listening from his position, obscured by a small out cove in the archway, Jack could make out ragged breathing but no other sounds. That put him on high alert as the only reason that he could think of leaving Harry by herself was to lay some sort of trap.

Motioning for the others to stay where they were Jack peered around the corner and took stock of the room, looking for anything that could be a trap. Almost immediately he say Harry's naked form chained to the wall on the far side of the room. Shifting his eyes away he looked for anything else that screamed out, "Trap." Not seeing anything but an otherwise barren chamber Jack gave Carter one last signal before he creeped around the corner to see if he could remove Harry's chains.

123456454321

Harry blinked when she saw another man start to creep towards her from around the entrance into the room. She idly wondered who the man was for a brief moment before she realized that this was just another one of Voldemort's games. Because she knew that no one was going to be coming to her rescue as there was no other way into her mind than through the link she shared with Voldemort.

Deciding that she was not about to let herself be manipulated any more, Harry chose to remain silent and just stared at the newcomer with as much animosity as her exhausted mind and recently tortured body could handle.

She almost laughed through the gag when she saw the man wince and wondered when Voldemort was going to drop the act, seeing how he had to know that she was on to him.

Surprisingly, the man did not halt his advancement or appear deterred from whatever game he was playing, despite the glares that Harry was sending him. Though Harry was beginning to wonder why Voldemort was not looking at her anymore, as he seemed to be alternating between looking at the floor or the wall above her.

123454321

Jack barely managed to hide a wince at the glares the young teen was sending at him as he approached. He supposed in her situation he would be a bit wary of a stranger too so he continued his cautious trek now maintaining his gaze at anywhere besides at the girl.

Stopping right in front of her he examined her the chains holding her to the wall while ignoring the glares she sent at him. Not seeing any means as to unlock them he whispered, "I'll have you down from there in a minute… I hope."

Deciding to give the one of the shackles binding her arms a experimental tug, Jack took off his Jacket and draped it around the teen, not wanting her to feel anymore uncomfortable than she already was while he moved in closer to get some better leverage."

After rotating the girl's wrist around to see if he had just simply missed seeing a keyhole or clasp Jack sighed, the bindings were solid.

With nothing else to lose He reached up and grasped the chain with his hands and braced a foot against the wall and pulled with all his might.

12345564321

Harry blinked, as she wondered why Voldemort had not given up in his latest game, seeing as how she was not cooperating with him in the slightest. Like some lame re-assuring words were going to get her to play along.

Even after one of her arms was feed she still remained unresponsive settling instead to let her arm lay against her side rather than attempting to take off the gag.

She watched impassively as the man she believed to be Voldemort curse quietly as he rose up from the floor, having lost his balance when he freed her arm. She did not even make any sounds when the man came forward again and began freeing her other limbs, this time just using one hand to tug on the chains, causing them to separate from the wall.

Once she was freed, Harry just stood there, waiting for the right moment before she attacked him. If Voldemort wanted her to go with him well he was going to have to drag her wherever there was kicking and screaming because she was not about to go peacefully.

123445563211

Jack frowned to himself, Harry was still not moving nor had she taken any effort to remover the gag from her mouth instead she just stood there looking about ready to pounce. She he could tell that she was attempting to look as passive as she could but Jack could see the tenseness in her poise.

Not wanting to have a fight on his hands and risk hurting Harry further he hissed, "Look, I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to try to get you out of here. You can come peacefully, which I highly recommend or you can put up a fight and alert whoever is doing this to you that I am here. What's it going to be kiddo?"

1234554321

Harry was not about to let herself be fooled and gave her answer with a mocking glare before she lunged forward, intent on at least hitting the bastard a few times before she was over powered.

What Harry did not expect was the man grabbing her arms and twisting her around before he tossed her over his shoulder in a blur of movement. She had never expected Voldemort to be able to move with such position and speed.

Well surprised or not, she was still not going to go with him willingly, so mustering as much force as she could Harry began to swing her arms and drive her fists into her captors back.

Jack just sighed to himself feeling the girl's impacts, he supposed that they stung a bit but he had taken hits from people far more menacing than a fifteen-year-old girl. Not wanting to deal with the distraction he turned his head slightly and hissed over his shoulder, "Would you cool it, I'm trying to get you out of here."

With oomph and several curses Jack realized that his words had not had the desired effect as Harry had managed to tag him in the groin, resulting in Jack releasing the girl and stumbling to his knees.

Harry now free from her captor Tuned and made a bee line to for the rooms exit, only slowing down enough to swing her arms into her borrowed Jacket and button it up to preserve some modesty.

Rounding the corned though Harry was forced to come skidding to a halt as she had almost ran face first into Voldemort, who had two prone bodies levitating behind him. Backing up Harry glanced back into the chamber and saw that the man she had believed to be Voldemort was just now getting off of the ground. Whipping her head back forward she gasped when she recognized the two bodies floating behind her tormentor, there was the blond woman from the street and Luna.

Not liking the sinister grin that Voldemort had pasted on his face Harry started to back pedal, not sure as to what was going on.

"What's the matter Harry, didn't you miss me?" Hissed Voldemort as he enjoyed the panicked puzzled look Harry had on her face.

As the newcomer stepped into the room Jack could not help but stare, the man was pasty white and had almost flat like facial features giving the man a snake like appearance. Seeing Harry backpedaling though Jack figured that this was the man who was behind it The man had spoken something so softly that Jack had been unable to catch it but he figured it was some sort of taunt , if he put any worth into Harry's reaction. Wanting to take attention away from Harry Jack called out, "Yoo-hoo, snake face… Over here."

Voldemort turned his attention away from Harry to appraise the interloper as he fully entered the room with his two immobile prisoners floating behind him. After making his wand appear again Voldemort smirked and said nothing, enjoying the mental posturing.

Jack swore to himself again when he saw that Luna and Carter had been captured. Noticing that the newcomer was attempting to size him up Jack tried to look as arrogant as he could while rocking back and forth on his heals. Deciding that he wanted to get the man talking Jack taunted, "See something you like?"

"No… Just attempting to get a good look at someone who is foolish to stand up against me." Voldemort fired back.

Jack shrugged and replied, "I tend to get that a lot… Being called foolish by wannabe's that is."

With a wave of his wand, Voldemort sent his two captives sprawling into Harry's direction, breaking his previous spell that had kept them immobilized. Clearing his throat he waved his wand once more and said, "I'll be with you three in a moment… First though I'll have to put this interloper in his place."

Counting her blessings at Voldemort's boon to leave her free to move Harry went to go check on Luna and the older blond woman.

Wincing at the Way Carter landed Jack gave the snakish man his most threatening glare and taunted, "You know if you give up now, I might not have to hurt you too much."

"Oh… And just how do you think that you will even manage to lay a finger on me… I am Lord Voldemort and I have no equal. People tremble at the mere mention of my name "

Jack shrugged, clearly not impressed and offered, "I can see that… I mean you're so ugly I'll probably be scared for life, just from looking at you."

Frowning at the other mans cheek Voldemort decided that playtime was over and leveled his wand. Taking a one-sided dueling stance he crooned, "Play time is over… I shall enjoy breaking you and then once I'm finished with you I'll move onto your friends and savor every last second of their pain."

Frowning Jack crouched down; he had hoped that while he was keeping the pasty creepy guy busy that Carter would have had time to figure out a way out of the mess. Seeing that she was still half-hazardly sprawled out on the ground, Jack figured that no immediate suggestions were going to be forthcoming any time soon.

Noticing that his target had not taken a dueling stance, Voldemort began to laugh.

Jack, deciding to take advantage of Voldemort's lack of attention rushed forward intent on not giving the freakish looking man an opportunity to use his stick.

Voldemort's eye's widened in shock as he had let his defenses down leaving him venerable to attack; he had not been expecting his opponent to rush him. Lunging to the side, off balance, he called out, "Crucio" Intent on using his favorite curse.

Jack cursed as Voldemort dodged and sent his world into a painful blur of stars that sent him sprawling across the floor.

Voldemort smiled, while he had been hoping that he would have gotten a bit more of a challenge[, the pain of others always managed to lighten his mood.

Realizing that the pain was not going to be stopping any time soon, Jack went for a more proactive approach, digging deep down within himself he began to force himself upright while pushing the pain aside.

Voldemort's smile widened further when he noticed that the interloper was attempting to overcome the pain. Thinking that this opponent might just be a challenge, he refocused on his spell causing it to intensify while he preached, "There are not many people that are capable of standing up to this curse, fewer still who can tolerate it's effects when I am the one casting it… You should be honored."

As he struggled to his feet Jack wished for his faithful P-90 so he would be on more even footing. Between grunts of pain from the ongoing torture Jack suddenly realized that there now seemed to be a very familiar weight handing from his shoulder, Jack glanced down and couldn't help but to exclaim, "Cool."

Now almost completely upright, Jack grasped his newly acquired weapon with his hands and let loose a hailstorm of lead at Voldemort.

Voldemort had been slightly confused, he had figured the weapon for a muggle gun but had not recognized it's true threat potential. Barely managing to throw up a hasty shield to deflect the bullets it was then that Voldemort realized that he was not fighting a wizard but a muggle as no wizard that he had heard of would lower himself to using such a device.

Now totally free from the effects of the pain curse Jack began to stride forward with every squeeze of his trigger, knowing that even though his bullets were being stopped by a shield if he could get close enough his fists he would be able to take the pale snakish looking man down.

Voldemort knew he could no afford to take down his shield unless he wanted to be shredded and also recognized that any small amount of shift in his concentration would drop his shield, even taking a few steps back would be enough to leave him vulnerable.

Jack was almost upon Voldemort when his p-90 ran out of ammunition; cursing his luck he threw the weapon forward, following behind it with a lunge.

The distraction almost worked but Voldemort was a very experienced dueler despite his lack of practice in more recent years. He was able to dodge the thrown projectile and even managed to fire off a bludgeoning curse as he felt a rather meaty impact on his jaw, sending him sprawling backwards.

Jack would have grinned if he realized that he had managed to tag the bastard but was too busy attempting to shake himself out of a pain educed stupor coming from his arm, which he assumed to be broken.

"COLONEL!"

Harry had moved over to Luna's position and taken her head into her lap, not knowing what else to do, as she was confused as to what was happening. Feeling the effects of exhaustion beginning to set in she could offer very little support and settled to watching the battle between Voldemort and the new guy unfold as she carefully brushed Luna's hair with her hand out of anxiety.

Harry had been so caught up in watching the duel that she did not notice the other stationary blond wake up and move over towards her.

Sam winced as she rose to her feet, whatever she had been hit with sure did pack one hell of a punch. After briefly examining her surroundings Sam noticed that Harry had Luna's head in her lap and that Luna looked like she was still out of it. Glancing over at the Colonel she saw that he seemed to be barely managing, putting her brilliant mind to work she figured that Harry was the key and if she could get her to wake up then the rest of them might follow.

Getting into a slight crouch Sam crept forward and moved into position next to Harry's body. Not wanting to spook the girl and pull Voldemort's attention away from the Colonel, Sam cleared her throat softly.

Harry pulled her attention away from the ongoing battle and nearly jumped in surprise upon seeing the older blond woman next to her, as she had totally forgotten about her.

Sam tried to smile reassuredly while staring into the younger girls emerald gaze. Turning her attention to the dirty blond in Harry's lap she asked, "How's Luna doing?"

Harry blinked and said, "I don't know."

Sam nodded more for herself, as she had not really expected the girl to know anything, as she had just wanted to get Harry talking more than anything else. Looking back into Harry's eyes Sam asked, "How are you doing?"

"Fine if you ignore the fact that I've been stuck in my own nightmares with the most evil Dark Lord since Grindenwald and now I'm having hallucinations because there should be no possible way for anybody else to be in here."

Sam attempted to smile reassuredly as she stated, "You're not hallucinating, after your fight with Osiris you were brought to the infirmary beneath Cheyenne Mountain. A short time ago while we were talking to your friend Luna you went into some kind of seizure, the doctors tried everything from medicine to waking you up and were unable to do so." Pausing to take in a deep breath Sam continued with her explanation of events with, "Luna managed to explain to us what was happening and while we were skeptical about it, recent events had shown it to be possible. So with the help of your friend and a few pieces of technology, Colonel O'Neill attempted to enter your mind. Unfortunately Luna and I were pulled along for the ride…"

As Sam continued her explanation Harry's thoughts had turned elsewhere, "No, it's a common name, it's probably someone else. But it might be, what are the odds that the death eater failed to kill him? Why else would she leave, unless something else happened."

With hope threatening to sparkle in her eyes Harry tentatively asked, "Is Jack O'Neill alive?"

Sam stopped in her explanation and thought back to what Luna had said about Harry in the briefing room before asking, "What made you think that he's dead?"

Ignoring the question in favor of one of her own Harry continued, "Is that him?" Pointing to the man confronting Voldemort.

Carter's eyes widened in shock, she had not been paying attention to what was happening outside of her conversation with Harry. So she was caught unprepared as she noticed that the Colonel was sprawled out on the ground with his opponent Looming over him with a wicked gleam in his eyes. With a cry of, "COLONEL!" Sam lunged to her feet and charged forward hoping to distract the man from doing what ever he was about to do.

Harry momentarily slipped into a brief period of shock as she had thought about how crushed she had been when she had thought her last hope of having a family had been snatched away from her without her ever getting a chance to find out if it would have worked. Her shock turned to surprise when she felt a warm hand encompass her own.

Looking down Harry stared right into the silvery eyes of her friend Luna, "girlfriend." Harry corrected herself before she worriedly exclaimed, "Are you alright?"

Luna nodded before she replied with, "Harry you need to try to wake up."

Harry blinked at that, though she had allowed herself to hope that it was not one of Voldemort's sick games and that somehow people actually came to help her, she had still had her doubts. Still looking down at Luna, Harry could tell that it was her girlfriend and not some dream manifested copy of her and instantly knew that Luna was telling her to wake up because she could do it now.

Looking back over at the man she believed to be her uncle and the older blond woman who had charged in to help, Harry felt fear grip at her heart. Moments before she had still been mentally detached to a degree but after looking into Luna's eye's she knew that these people were trying to help her.

Feeling a surge of fear due to the possibility of losing her chance to have a family all over again Harry looked down at Luna and concentrated, she was not about to give Voldemort any more chances to hurt anyone else in her stead.

Luna stared up at Harry from her position on the other girls lap and wondered what Harry was trying to do, that is until she began to feel herself slipping away from Harry and back into the her own mind. Instantly she knew what was happening, Harry was sending her out of her mind to protect her from Voldemort, she could tell by the look of fiery determination in the neo black haired girls eyes.

Harry smiled briefly once she expelled Luna from her mind, it had not been as difficult as she had imagined and wondered if it was because of Voldemort being kept busy or whatever muggle means was used for the others to enter her nightmare.

Standing up she looked once again at the man she believed to be her uncle, he was still sprawled out on the ground, clutching his arm, while struggling valiantly to get back up. The woman who Harry had been talking to just moments before was sprawled out in front of the man writhing in agony from what Harry guessed to be a Crucio.

Jack cursed to himself for what must have been the thousandth time at his inability to get up. Though he was certain that his arm was broken he could tell that whatever he had been hit with had done something else to him as well because his body just was not responding. As much as he hated to admit it he was currently outclassed, if he had more experience in dealing with fighting in someone's head it might have been a different story but as things were he had been totally unprepared for the fight and he hated that fact.

Taking in a deep breath Jack was about to attempt to draw attention to himself once more via one of his more colorful witty remarks when he noticed the girl, Harry, stalking slowly towards them. He attempted to will the kid to retreat into hiding with his eyes but it seemed that the girl was not receptive to his nonexistent telepathy.

12345654321

Moving quietly Harry had managed to close in some of the distance that had separated herself from the others. She was about to say something but she was at a loss as to what words she could possibly say, fortunately she didn't have to say anything as Voldemort addressed her.

"Look who decided to join the party… I hope you enjoyed your brief respite because I am afraid that these two muggles are rather boring to play with."

"Kid get out of here and hide." Jack called out as he finally made it to his feet.

"No." Answered Harry as she took another step forward, "I'm tired of running… tired of people getting hurt because of me… " Taking in a deep breath and stealing herself Harry added sadly, "I'm sorry about before, I know how much that hurts…" Noticing the confused look she was getting from the Colonel she added, "You know… for tagging you in the. You know… down there…"

Jack nodded in understanding, not really understanding and waved it off with, "No prob, it happens."

Now free of from whatever Voldemort had been doing to her Sam resisted the urge to roll her eyes and ask if young girls kick the Colonel in the groin often. Instead she locked eyes with the emerald-eyed girl and pleaded, "You need to try to wake up."

Harry nodded, she knew that she could try to wake up but then she was worried about what would happen to them if she did so instead she stated, "No."

"For cry'in out loud kid we're trying to help you."

Still smiling sadly Harry nodded and replied in a soft voice, "I know… But I can' go around letting others throw themselves into danger because of me, I already lost too much." Changing her expression into a fierce grin she looked at Voldemort and said, "You might keep me from leaving and I can't kick you out but I can…"

"DON'T DO IT Harry, LET US HELP YOU." Sam pleaded as she knew what was about to happen.

Voldemort lowered his wand and nodded, he usually wasn't one to concede anything but he was getting bored with the muggles, though it had been challenging at first. Voicing his opinion he said, "Very well Harry, I shall allow these two to leave so that I can continue things where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted."

Jack caught on to the hidden undertones of the snakish mans voice and lunged forward once again while he shouted, "Like hell you will."

Unfortunately for Jack he was to be denied a chance to alleviate his rage upon the pale man as at that moment he felt a weird falling sensation, leaving him momentarily confused as to what happened, that is until he opened his eyes and stared right up into the frowning gave of Janet Frazier. Realizing that he had been forced back into the real world Jack sat up, ignoring the feeble attempts to keep him on his back. Turning his head he noticed that Luna was still perched over Harry's bed, holding the girls hand. Looking past them he could see Daniel helping Carter sit up.

Reaching down with his arms jack went to push himself off of the bed and hissed in pain, turning his attention to his arm he realized that it was still broken. Ignoring the pain he stood up and barked out, "Doc, I can wait but Harry can't, call down to the gate room and tell them to dial up the Alpha site."

looks good. Though you might consider having the gen, if hes there, question the plan of action. Course, the fact that luna has books that help describe the use of technology like the hand device, and the potential for them to gain access to it, as well as an obvious potential enemy, would weigh in for allowing it to happen. That could all be in the next chap. Personally, it could be a case of Frasier, luna, and harry, carter go through. And then oniell follows through at a later point.\
