CHAPTER SEVEN
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me?" Jack asked in disbelief.
"No, I'm pretty sure I'm telling you the truth. Mr. Tall, Dark and Broody showed me how it worked," Daniel said with relish. He enjoyed the frown that Snape gave him. If he was going to have a bad day, then by god, so was everyone else.
"Danny, you know I love ya," he began sarcastically, "but I think you might have been hit over the head one too many times. There is no such thing as magic!" Jack sing-songed.
Daniel frowned. "Ok, see, now that's just irritating. When are you going to believe me when I tell you something? You know I'm almost always right, but do you EVER listen to me? Noooo," he drawled out.
"Er"¦Daniel, this really isn't the time to be bringing this up," Jack said warily as he pointed the Zat gun at the four Wizards.
"Oh right, like we'll ever talk about this any other time. It's been nine years, Jack. Nine years! And still you don't listen to me," Daniel said stridently.
"Look, when we get back home, you can yell at me all you want, but right now, we're in a little situation here. Could you please just focus?" Jack yelled.
Daniel crossed his arms and pouted. "You know, I don't even know why you bothered rescuing me. I mean really, I was having a better time here. They weren't yelling at me," Daniel said as he waved at an amused Dumbledore.
Jack sighed mournfully. He gazed at Dumbledore, who was staring at them in amusement, and asked, "You wanted to kidnap him why?"
"Yes, well, I'm not the one that kidnapped him," Dumbledore said in amusement. His blue eyes were twinkling in merriment.
"I thought I was being a good friend, you know. Danny gets kidnapped, again," Jack began, making sure to stress that one little word. "I figure, hey, I'm a good friend, why don't I rescue Daniel? Sure, he would appreciate that, right? I mean, you would, wouldn't you?" Jack asked. He didn't wait for an answer. "But nooooo, can Daniel be grateful? Of course not! He had to complain until the bitter end."
"I am so going to hurt you," Daniel said angrily.
"Bring it on, Danny boy," Jack snarled.
Dumbledore chuckled. "As amusing as this is, the distraction will not work. There is no way for you to leave this castle," he said genially.
Daniel blew out an exasperated breath and Jack shrugged. "Eh, it was worth a try. So, Gandalf, what's the situation here? Why was Daniel kidnapped? Who is that woman?" Jack asked as he nodded towards Hermione. "She was at Daniel's house. She was looking for a missing person. What is she doing here?"
Dumbledore looked a little sheepish. "Well, first off, my name is Albus Dumbledore, not Gandalf, delightful fellow though he is. Second, Mrs. Malfoy here decided that Dr. Jackson was her missing friend, Harry Potter. In her exuberance, she took it upon herself to kidnap Dr. Jackson," Dumbledore explained.
Jack nodded in understanding. "I see. So once again, Daniel Jackson gets taken by the 'crazy woman,' huh, Daniel?" Jack asked in irritation.
"Hey! Not my fault!" Daniel cried out.
Jack snorted. "Of course not. It's never your fault," he said tauntingly and Daniel grumbled.
"All right, if it was a case of mistaken identity, then you should have no problem letting us go, right?" Jack asked hopefully.
Dumbledore shook his head. "I'm afraid not," he said gently.
Jack sighed. "Yeah, I thought it would be too easy. So, now what?" Jack asked. He made sure to keep his Zat gun on the four people in the doorway. He wished he had thought to bring another Zat gun for Daniel, but he had been counting on Carter and Teal'c to be with him.
"I need to know how you got into this castle," Dumbledore said.
"The front door?" Jack asked mockingly.
"I don't think so, Mr.?" Dumbledore asked politely.
"Homer. You can call me Homer," Jack said brightly and Daniel snorted in amusement.
"Ah, as in the poet," Dumbledore said cheerfully.
Jack blinked as Daniel laughed. "Right," Jack drawled. "Sure, you betcha."
Dumbledore looked momentarily confused before continuing with his questions. "We do have the security of our students to consider. I really must insist that you tell me how you got into the castle," Dumbledore said pleasantly.
"Yeah, about that. You kidnapped Daniel and bring him to a school?" Jack asked Hermione in disbelief. "I mean, couldn't you have at least locked him the dungeon or something? You clearly are not the standard variety kidnapper," Jack said with a shake of his head.
She flushed in embarrassment and looked away. Snape chuckled softly and Dumbledore smiled genially at Jack.
"Be that as it may, I really must insist in knowing how you go into this school. Perhaps if you were to show us?" Dumbledore asked cheerfully.
Jack looked at him intently and asked idly, "Do you do drugs?" he asked. Daniel choked on a laugh. "Because, really, you're like way too happy. Are your eyes supposed to do that?"
Snape snorted in amusement. Jack gave him a brief look, noting to himself not to cross this man. He had the presence of a predator. Jack had a feeling that this man could be dangerous when angry.
"My eyes?" Dumbledore asked in confusion.
Jack nodded. "Yeah, are they supposed to twinkle like that? And really, are you seriously that laid back? There is no way that it's natural. Only thing I can think of is drugs. You know, they have help for that now. The first step is admitting you have a problem," Jack said wisely.
Snape gave a low chuckle and Daniel snickered. Dumbledore frowned in annoyance. "Mr. Homer, I'm trying to be nice," he began.
Jack shook his head. "See, that's where you're going wrong. Trust me. When you kidnap someone and you want information, you don't just politely ask them, you need some torture involved as well. Trust me, it's in the evil-doers' handbook," Jack said impishly.
Daniel cracked up as Dumbledore looked at him, baffled. Daniel couldn't help it. He had never seen Dumbledore look so nonplused, but then again, Dumbledore had never before been faced with Jack. Jack could try the patience of God himself. There had been many a Goa'uld who had lived to torture Jack. Of course, Ba'al was really the only one who had gotten away with it.
"Mr. Homer, I must really insist that you explain to me how you got into the castle," Dumbledore said sternly.
Jack looked at him in interest. "All right, I'll tell you if you tell me about the shields surrounding the castle," Jack replied.
Dumbledore frowned. Jack arched an eyebrow. "No? It looks like we both have something the other wants. I don't have to explain crap to you. You kidnap my Danny and you expect me to tell you anything? I think not!" Jack said adamantly.
"Your Danny?" Snape inquired, as he looked Jack up and down.
"Yes, my Danny, my geek, my archeologist, a member of my former team, my best friend. So yes, my Danny," Jack replied harshly.
"Odd, I didn't know you could have a Danny in the U.S. Military," Snape drawled.
Daniel looked at him in surprise. He didn't think Snape would know much about the Muggle world, let alone the United States Military.
"Funny, I thought vampires were supposed to sleep during the day. Looks like we're both wrong," Jack said sarcastically.
"Why you"¦" Snape began angrily as he took a step forward.
Jack raised the Zat gun and aimed it at Snape. "I took you down once, I can do it again," Jack snarled.
"Severus, please," Dumbledore said.
Snape stopped and glared at Jack. Daniel looked at him with interest. Um"¦nice to know that the man hadn't changed too much while he was gone.
"Professor Dumbledore, we don't have time for this. The Ministry will want to know how Mr. Homer got into the castle. We can't have Muggles getting in whenever they decide to. We need to protect Hogwarts," Ron said impatiently. He took a step forward, aimed his wand at Jack and uttered a spell.
A bright flash of red rushed towards Jack and he ducked. He fell to the ground, rolled and came up on his knees, shooting Ron with the Zat gun. Ron went down with a gasp and while the rest of the Wizards stared at Ron and the two men in shock, Jack grabbed Daniel and rushed around the other side of the sink.
Jack took out Thor's communicator and clicked it. "Thor, buddy, tell me you got good news. We're under attack. We could really use some help right now. Either beam us back or send Carter, Teal'c and Mitchell to help," Jack said impatiently.
"I am close, O'Neill. I need just a few more minutes," Thor said.
Jack could hear raised voices on the other side of the sink. They weren't shielded well, but it was better than being out in the open. The voices sounded angry. "I don't think we have a few minutes," Jack said. "They have some sort of energy weapon."
"They're wands, Jack," Daniel said in exasperation.
"Daniel, not now," Jack replied in annoyance.
Daniel sighed and shook his head. Jack hated anything that was unexplainable.
"I am hurrying as fast as I can, O'Neill," Thor replied. "I will beam you two out as soon as I can. Thor out."
Jack cursed. "This is great. Nothing like being pinned down with nowhere to run," he said in exasperation.
"Well, if you hadn't shot that man, we wouldn't be in this predicament," Daniel said.
Jack looked at him in disbelief. "Hello! I was doing a great job of stalling before Mr. Excitable decided to shoot at me with his little stick thingy. I only reacted."
"It's called a wand, Jack, not a stick thingy," Daniel said with a sigh.
"Uh huh, sure, and next you'll be telling me that Merlin himself was real," Jack said.
"Actually, Jack"¦" Daniel began.
Jack already knew that Merlin was an Ancient. "Daniel, that was a rhetorical statement," he said.
"Ah, I knew that," Daniel said sheepishly.
"Mr. Homer, if you would please come out from behind the sink. No harm will come to you or Dr. Jackson," Dumbledore called out.
"I'm thinking, no," Jack yelled out. "I don't believe you. You already shot at us once. If you want me to come out, you're going to have to drag me out."
There was a moment of silence. Daniel could hear whispering among the Wizards. He knew that they were up to something. As much as the Zat gun was reliable, it still couldn't beat magic. There were all kinds of ways to get to them. He was just glad that you couldn't apparate inside of Hogwarts, or else this little stand-off would have been over a long time ago.
Daniel leaned over to Jack. "They're up to something," he whispered.
Jack nodded. "I know. Watch your side. I don't want them to surprise us. Do what you can. I'm sorry I didn't think to bring a Zat for you," Jack said sheepishly.
Daniel shrugged. "You didn't think you would need it."
"True," Jack replied.
They sat there for a few minutes, waiting for whatever came next. There was a sudden snarl above them and Jack jumped back in shock as a large black panther roared at them. Jack moved back quickly, staring in disbelief.
"What the fuck? Nobody said anything about panthers. This isn't in the handbook, damn it," Jack yelled.
Daniel cursed. He never thought of Snape using his Animagus form to get to them. It was actually a brilliant idea. Snape had Jack off balance. Jack didn't have time to bring the Zat gun up before Snape pounced. He landed on Jack and roared. Daniel had to give Jack credit. He didn't scream, even if there was fear on his face. Daniel heard footsteps running over towards them and jumped over to Jack to get the Zat gun. He heard Hermione yell, "Stupefy," and darkness took him.
Jack cursed as he saw Daniel go down. He had been hit by their stick thingies. He stared up at the black panther that was glaring down at him malevolently. He prayed that this animal was tame. He looked over at Daniel and shouted with joy when he saw him disappear in a bright, white light.
He felt the tingles that meant Thor was about to beam him back to the ship. "Later," he called out cheerfully, and he disappeared in flash of light.
Dumbledore looked at the spot where Dr. Jackson and Mr. Homer had been. They had somehow apparated out of Hogwarts, even though that was supposed to be impossible. Not only that, but they had taken Severus with them.
"Oh dear," he said.
