Harry Potter of Atlantis
Prologue.
Lily potter, 7 months pregnant, sat in her chair sighing over her latest project. On the table in front of her was a large black disk, known by a Varity of races as the Ancient Repository of knowledge, contained within was the entire knowledge base of a race known as The Ancients.
The Ancients were an old race whose existence stenches back millions of years, but for an unknown reason they disappeared around 10,000 years ago. Their knowledge was so vast, their technology so powerful that even today, they are regarded as the most powerful race to ever exist.
However, they did not just die out like many races believe, instead they ascended. They shed their physical bodies and became beings of pure energy, able to live for eternity as gods. But the ascended decided, after much deliberation, that they would not take on the role of Gods, they would live in their ascended life with a policy of strict non-interference policy. To leave the species of the universe to their own, natural evolution. But there were some ancients who pushed this policy to its limits. Some like Oma Desala, who helped those worthy of the gift ascend, while she didn't impart knowledge to lesser races, she acted as a guide for the light hearted to reach the plane they so well deserved. There were also others who re-took human form, to live among the humans once again, and they were allowed as long as they didn't help the humans gain new technology or to steer humanity in a different direction.
Lily Evans Potter was one of these Ancients. She was an Ancient who discovered the world of Magic, and curious, took her human form again to learn this new branch of Human evolution, much to the disproval of her fellow ascended. After spending her life going through Muggle School as an average student so as not to allow her true knowledge to show, at the age of 11 she was invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After spending several years there, she fell in love with a human who went by the name of James Potter. After getting married, and discovering her pregnancy, she was overjoyed. Then the war with Voldemort, the most vile creature to exist, even more vile then the Wraith, targeted her unborn son. She heard the prophecy for her son and learned that he was to kill Voldemort, or be killed by him.
That wouldn't do.
So she did the only she could do, she was giving her son an edge.
She secretly built a device that would take her and any material she wished out of phase into a realm of sub-space, thus allowing her to hide her presence from all forces, muggle, magical, and ascended. In was during this out of phase state that she built the device in front of her, the repository of knowledge. She knew that they only way for Harry to have an edge against Voldemort was to have the complete knowledge of her race.
Looking at the completed device, she activates it, and then watches as it extends a pair of metallic hands and grasps her round belly, it then emits a series of multi color lights and different sounds and soon deactivates. She leans back into her chair, hoping beyond hope that her plan worked.
Later.
When Harry was born 2 months later, Lily and James were happy and proud of their young boy. Over the course of a year, they watched as Harry showed how much potential he had. James watched in fascination at young Harry's growing intelligence. At such a young age, he had started to talk with simple words, like dada, mama, and dog, pointing at Sirius, which made everyone laugh and Sirius pout. Lily watched with a knowing smile, knowing what was really behind the intelligence growth.
It was a year and a half later, that lord Voldemort attacked the Potter home. He overwhelmed James with ease, killing him, and Lily put up a meager defense, knowing she could not win, not without resorting to using her ascended powers, and she knew that if she did, the others would intervene, possibly for the worst. So after pleading to spare her sons life, she was killed.
Voldemort then tried to kill young Harry, only for a miracle, the spell bounced back and killed the dark lord, making him into a wraith like creature that fled the scene.
It was after Albus Dumbledore sent Harry to live with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, did his life really change.
Over the course of several years, the young boy was mentally and emotionally abused. He never received physical abuse, because his 'family', knew it could be seen. He was belittled, insulted, and wasn't even allowed to have a name, he was simply "Boy".
When school started, it quickly became known that something wasn't quite right with Harry. He showed intelligence beyond his years, especially in math. So, curious, the school administration had the young boy tested, and presented the results to the Dursleys.
Harry's projected IQ was in the 300+ range.
The Dursleys were shocked, and were prepared to go to drastic means to beat the intelligence out of him, not wanting him to be smarter than Dudley, and then a teacher said something that caught their attention.
"It's rare to have children that show such intelligence at such a young age; wouldn't it be quite prestigious if he managed to get into Wellington's school for the gifted?"
The Dursleys paused, prestige that one word hung in their minds.
Decision reached, they enrolled Harry into the school, where he made quick friends with a girl named Hermione Granger, who was just as smart as he.
Before they both reached the age of 10, they had graduated high school, went to college, and earned PHD's in various subjects.
Harry had degrees in multiple fields of physics, while Hermione got degrees in Aeronautical engineering.
After wards, since they were too young to get jobs, they decided to do other things for fun, such as becoming fluent in multiple languages.
They both became fluent in Latin, old Latin, Old English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Egyptian, and a Varity of others.
Now, at the age of 11, they are both about to receive invitations to go to a new school, a different school.
And this is where our story begins.
Author's notes.
This is a new story I was thinking about, and I have big plans for it. Now before anyone asks, I will go ahead and answer some of the likely questions that will come up.
1: will Harry be super strong?
Answer: no, this story is about him using his intelligence to solve problems, not magical power. He will be slightly above average, and by the time the seventh book ends, he will be as powerful as Dumbledore, but he will not use magic mostly. Harry is a scientist, he will use scientific means to win, not just magic.
2: will this be a harry/Hermione pairing?
Answer: I don't know, I will decide when the story evolves. No votes on this.
3: will harry instantly understand all things ancient?
Answer: no, he may be super smart, but it will take time before he starts building ships, and ZPMs. He still has to learn everything, over a period of many, many, years.
4: is Dumbledore good or bad?
Answer: normally I write bad Dumbledore stories, because looking back at the books I see he is a manipulative old man who is constantly endangering students for the so called greater good. In this story I will try something different. I want him to be good, but he will make mistakes, as he is human and all humans make mistakes.
Next chapter will feature more of a story, with character interaction and actual dialogue. This prologue was meant to be a set up.
