CHAPTER SIX
Daniel looked at Jack and then at the unconscious people on the floor. How in the hell was he going to explain this? Daniel frowned a moment and decided that he would just lie. As far as Jack knew, they were just crazy people who wanted to kidnap Daniel for whatever reason.
"So, how did you find me?" Daniel asked.
Jack grinned and pointed his finger up. "Thor," he said smartly.
"Ah," Daniel said. "And how did Thor know that I was missing?"
Jack shrugged. "Oh, you know, what's a little eavesdropping among allies?" Jack said impishly.
Daniel blinked and looked at Jack warily. "Eavesdropping?" he asked.
"We'll talk about it later. We need to leave now," Jack said. "Before Gandalf and his merry men wake up."
Daniel gave Jack an arched look. "Gandalf?" he asked.
Jack looked over at him and smirked. "You know, the White Wizard in the Lord of the Ring movies. You would know these things if you would just watch the damn movie."
Daniel shook his head in annoyance. "I read the book, thanks. I don't need to see the movie."
Jack sighed mournfully. "Of course you did, Daniel."
"So, how are we getting out of here? Is Thor going to beam us back to his ship?" Daniel asked.
Jack shook his head. "Nope. Apparently, the shield that is surrounding this building is something that Thor can't get through right away. It has something to do with Ancient technology or something. To tell the truth, I kinda zoned out when he was explaining. Whatever it was, it has Carter in a tizzy. He needs more time to figure it out. He only had the ability to send us through the shield, which reminds me. Where in the hell are Teal'c and Carter? They were supposed to be with me," Jack said with a frown. He pulled the communicator that Thor had given him out of his pocket.
"Yo, Thor, buddy, what happened? Carter and Teal'c didn't come with me. What's going on?" Jack asked impatiently.
"Greetings, O'Neill. I am afraid Colonel Carter and Teal'c were unable to pass through the shielding. They are still on my ship. For some reason it only allowed you access. I am unsure as to why. Colonel Carter seems to think it has something to do with your ATA gene," Thor said.
"Huh, interesting. So, is there any chance that you can beam us out of here anytime soon?" Jack asked. He was watching Daniel as he checked the unconscious people on the floor.
"As of yet, I still cannot penetrate their shields to bring you and Dr. Jackson back. I could try, but would only have ten percent chance of getting you and a ninety percent chance of scattering your atoms into oblivion," Thor explained.
Jack paused. "Er"¦no hurry. We'll find our way out, or at least hide until you can penetrate the shields. I'll contact you when I am able. Tell Carter and Teal'c that I have found our wayward Archeologist and he seems fine," Jack said.
"Understood, O'Neill. Good luck. Thor out."
"Well, Danny, my boy, it looks like we need to find a way out of here. Do you have any ideas?" Jack asked.
Daniel shook his head and looked around the room. "I guess we go through the main door and hope for the best," he said with a shrug.
Jack looked at him incredulously. "This is your plan?" he asked.
Daniel glared. "Hey, I'm the Archeologist, you're the Military man. You figure it out," Daniel said with a pout.
Daniel watched at Jack looked around the room and realized there was no other way out of the room except by the main door. He sighed and said, "Fine, we'll go out the main door."
"Ha, told you it was a good plan," Daniel said smugly.
"Danny, it's the only way we can leave," Jack said in annoyance.
Daniel sniffed haughtily. "You're just upset because you can't blow something up."
Jack grinned impishly. "There's still time," he said.
At that moment, Fawkes trilled and flew over to land on Daniel's shoulder. Jack's eyes widened as he took a step back. He raised the Zat gun and glared at Daniel. "There's a strange bird sitting on your shoulder, Danny. How about stepping away from it?" he asked.
Daniel shook his head in amusement and reached up to pet Fawkes. "Relax, Jack. This is Fawkes. He is apparently a phoenix. He's harmless," Daniel said. He frowned a moment. "I think. Either way, it doesn't matter. He hasn't done a thing since I came into the room. I think he likes me."
"Er"¦Danny, I may not be the smartest person in the world, but I'm pretty sure Phoenixes are a myth," Jack said slowly.
"Sure, just as Ra, Apophis, Anubis, Thor and Hathor were myths. It's said that the Phoenix was a companion to Ra. I wonder if maybe it's an alien bird. Something that was brought here by Ra and was forgotten when Ra left Earth," Daniel said thoughtfully.
"If it is, then why haven't we seen more of them?" Jack asked impatiently.
"Maybe they're shy?" Daniel asked innocently.
Jack gave Daniel a sharp look and shook his head in annoyance. "Sure, whatever. Regardless of how absolutely fascinating it is, we still need to leave. You have any idea how to get out this building?" Jack asked. He started for the door.
Daniel shook his head as he followed, wondering how much he could safely say. "It's a castle and no, I woke up in what looked like an infirmary. I escaped and only made it down a couple of halls before I was found. Wherever we are, Jack, it's a school, with kids," he explained.
Jack stopped and gave him a look of disbelief. "They kidnapped you and brought you to a school? What did they want? For you to teach?" Jack asked.
"I'll explain it later, but we need to go," Daniel said. He suddenly felt antsy and the desire to leave Dumbledore's office grew urgent. He looked around warily and realized that portraits on the walls were staring at them. Crap! He had forgotten about the portraits. He knew that Dumbledore used them to spy on others in the castle. It was how he knew so much about what was going on. One of the portraits was empty. They needed to leave. He had no clue how long the portrait had been empty, but any minute someone could be walking through that door.
"Jack, we need to go," Daniel said urgently, ushering his friend to the door.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked seriously.
"It's a feeling," Daniel explained.
Jack nodded in understanding. For years, Jack had watched Daniel come up with these 'feelings' and theories out of thin air, and no matter how implausible they seemed, the youngest SG-1 member was nearly always proven right. Jack didn't know why Daniel had the feelings, but he wasn't about to ignore it now.
"All right." Jack opened the door slowly. He held his Zat gun at the ready and looked out warily. He saw that nobody was there and began to creep along the corridor, with Daniel following closely behind him. They made their way down the staircase and out into the hallway.
"Which way?" Jack asked.
Daniel frowned thoughtfully. Where could they go that no one would find them? There was no way they could make their way to the castle's front doors. They would be discovered before then. There were students here, not to mention the teachers, the ghosts, the house-elves and the portraits. Where could they go that no one else could go? The Room of Requirement? No, it was too easy to enter. Daniel's eyes brightened. Of course! The Chamber of Secrets. No one knew where it was and even if they did, they couldn't get to it. It would give them a safe hide-out until Thor could get them out.
"Let's go right," Daniel said.
Jack nodded and they made their way down the hallway. They had gone down several hallways when McGonagall confronted them. She had her wand out and aimed at them. "Stop where you are," she said.
Daniel and Jack stopped and McGonagall glared at them. "Who are you and where do you think you're going?" she demanded.
"My name is Daniel Jackson and I was kidnapped and brought to this school by a psychotic lady with a serious issue about mistaken identities. I tried to warn your friends that they shouldn't have done that, but they refused to listen. So now, I'm being rescued. Now, if you don't mind, we'd like to continue with the rescue. Could you point the way out of the castle, please?" Daniel asked sweetly.
McGonagall blinked at him in astonishment, while Jack snorted in amusement. "Oh, that's good, Danny. Why don't you asked the nice lady directions for the front door?" he said with a grin.
Daniel looked at him innocently. "What? It looks like she works here. I figured that if anyone knew, she would. What would it hurt to ask?" Daniel asked with a pout.
"Danny, don't pout. You know what that does to me," Jack said with a groan.
"Of course, Jack. Whatever you say," Daniel said softly. He looked at Jack through his lashes and Jack gave a loud groan.
"When we get back, I am so going to fuck you," Jack hissed.
There was a gasp and they turned to look at a shocked McGonagall. Jack grinned at her shock, quickly raised his Zat gun and shot her. She fell to the ground and Jack smirked. "Nice distraction, Danny," he said with a grin.
"Right, because I was the one who being crude," Daniel said as he rolled his eyes. He gave Jack a questioning look. "So does that mean you're not going to fuck me when we get out of here?"
Jack grinned at him. "Don't you worry, Danny boy. I'm not going to forget. Come on," he said. Jack walked over to McGonagall and picked up her wand. He looked it over and threw it down on the ground. "Is she nuts?" he asked Daniel. "She tries to stop us with a stick? A stick! I tell you, you know kidnapping is going to the dogs when the kidnappers try to harm you with a stick," Jack said with disgust. He began to walk down the hall, all the while grumbling about sticks.
Daniel shook his head in amusement. He walked past McGonagall and took a second to look at her. She looked older than when he had seen her last. He felt a little guilty about Jack having to Zat her, but he wasn't going to stay here. His life in the Wizarding World was over and no one was going to force him to stay, nor were they going to mess with his memories.
Ten minutes later, and several near misses later, they arrived at the girl's bathroom. Daniel pondered how he was going to get Jack to enter the bathroom when they heard footsteps coming down the hall. Quickly, he grabbed Jack's arm and pulled him into the bathroom, shutting the door behind them. The two men listened as the footsteps approached.
"They're in there," a male voice said.
Daniel bit back a gasp as he recognized Ron's voice. Well, hell, the gang's all here, he thought bitterly.
"According to the map, there are two unidentifiable men hiding in that bathroom. I'm not sure why their names don't show up on the map," Ron said in confusion. Daniel groaned when he realized that Ron must have been using the Marauder's Map. Why didn't he take it with him when he left the Wizarding World? He knew it would come back and bite him on the arse.
"I knew it! It's Harry," a female voice said triumphantly. Daniel frowned as he realized that someone must've found Snape, Hermione and Dumbledore.
"Mrs. Malfoy, do we have to go through this again? That man is not Harry Potter," a dark, velvety voice said.
Daniel shivered in arousal at the voice and Jack looked over at him appraisingly. He grinned and whispered, "Danny, you dog." Daniel rolled his eyes.
Hermione apparently decided to stop and argue. "If it's not Harry, then how did he know his way to the girl's bathroom? It's the only entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and you know only Harry can get into the Chamber," Hermione said in annoyance.
"Actually, Mrs. Malfoy, there are three entrances to the Chamber of Secrets. Mr. Potter was kind enough to show them to me before he left Hogwarts. One is in dungeon, one in the girl's bathroom and the other is down several hallways, hidden by a large portrait of a snake. If it was indeed Harry Potter, then he would've used the entrance behind the portrait as the hallway is usually deserted," Snape said smugly.
There was silence a moment before Hermione said, "I still say that he is Harry Potter," she said firmly.
"And I still say that my godson was an idiot for marrying you," Snape said sarcastically.
There was a huff of outrage before another voice joined in. "Regardless of who is in the bathroom, we need to find out who knocked us unconscious and how they got into Hogwarts and past the wards. Such a breach of security cannot be allowed," Dumbledore said sternly.
"I agree, Headmaster," Snape said. "And I'd like to repay the debt I owe to someone for knocking me out." He sounded quite put upon.
"Once we're in the bathroom, be sure not to harm them. I don't want them hurt. I need to question them," Dumbledore said.
Snape sighed reluctantly. "Very well," he grumbled. "All right, let's go."
Jack and Daniel looked at each other and glanced around the bathroom. There was no place to hide and they were unable to lock the door. They stepped away from it and watched as the handle on the door began to move.
"This doesn't look good, Danny," Jack whispered harshly and Daniel nodded his head in agreement. He looked over at the sink briefly before deciding not to open the entrance to Chamber. It would give too much away. Hermione was right. Harry Potter was the only one alive who could open the entrance. If they opened the door and found them gone, there would be no hiding the fact that he was Harry Potter, and his life as he knew it would be over.
He glanced at Jack and briefly entertained the idea of letting Jack know about his former life, but decided against it. Jack would be angry at the knowledge that Daniel had kept his true identity a secret. They were best friends, lovers and Daniel had never once let him know who he really was, even though he now thought of himself as Daniel Jackson.
"So, you think I can take 'em?" Jack asked curiously.
"Watch out for the sticks that they carry," Daniel said quietly.
Jack was gazing at the door intently. "Why?" he asked absently.
Daniel watched as the four wizards entered the room. He saw Dumbledore smile at him and he grimaced with annoyance. Doesn't anything ever faze that man? He looked at an excited Hermione, an annoyed Ron, and an irritated Snape and sighed. There were going to be so many questions about how Jack got into Hogwarts, about how he was able to get past the wards. Things were about to get a little sticky.
"Danny," Jack hissed.
Daniel whipped his head around and looked at Jack. "What?" he asked.
"The sticks! What were you going to tell me about the sticks?" Jack asked as he gazed at the four wands pointed at them.
"Oh!" Daniel said brightly. "Apparently they're wands and they can do magic."
"They can do what?!" Jack yelped.
