Hogwarts was no longer just a school.
It was awakening.
Ancient symbols reappeared on the castle walls—glyphs of Atlantis, markings of the Jedi, sigils of the Four Founders, and runes long forbidden even to the goblins. Magic students couldn't comprehend pulsed through the stones. The portraits watched in silence. Even Peeves kept his distance.
Harry—Athan—walked through the halls with purpose.
The castle bent to his will.
Behind him, Hermione, Luna, and surprisingly, Draco followed. Each had been handpicked by Hogwarts itself to witness the next revelation.
"Where are we going?" Hermione asked, notebook already out.
Athan turned his head slightly. "The Founders didn't build Hogwarts on chance. There's a Stargate buried beneath the castle."
Draco laughed—then stopped. The hallway they entered wasn't on the Marauder's Map.
The stones were smooth. Clean. Ancient technology pulsed beneath them. The air felt electric.
At the end of the hall, a set of metal doors stood tall—carved in Atlantean crystal and lined with Force-tuned silver.
Above them, an inscription in many tongues:
"Only the Heir of All may pass. Jedi. Sith. Wizard. King."
Harry placed his palm on the reader.
The doors hissed open.
The Star Chamber Beneath Hogwarts
The room was massive—a fusion of Atlantean stone, Asgardian metal, and Stark tech. In the center stood a fully operational Stargate, still humming with power.
Floating around it were relics:
A full Jedi holocron, containing the wisdom of thousands of years.
A Spartan helmet with Master Chief's name engraved inside.
The Heart of Atlantis, glowing faintly.
A glowing Power Morpher, each coin rotating around it.
The original Tesseract, locked in a containment field.
Hermione's mouth dropped open. "This is… impossible."
Draco swallowed. "This is everything."
Harry stepped forward. The room responded. The Stargate activated, dialing worlds long forgotten.
The hologram of Salazar Slytherin appeared from a console. "To our heir: the true protector of all magic, knowledge, and bloodlines. Through this gate lies the real war. You are not just Hogwarts' hope… you are the galaxy's shield."
Suddenly—alarms blared. A red light lit up the chamber.
"UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPT TO ACCESS GATE FROM OFF-WORLD."
Harry narrowed his eyes. "Someone's trying to come through."
The display showed a signal—Covenant origin.
Luna stepped forward, dreamily serious. "They know you're awake now."
Harry clenched his fist. "Let them come."
He summoned the Force with one hand, ignited a blue lightsaber with the other, and stood between the gate and his friends.
"I'm done hiding."
