Chapter Text
(for the 'Lost & Found' fanfiction collections)
For a normal person, this would be a normal morning with a normal cup of tea to start a normal day. However, Jean-Luc Picard was no ordinary person; he was the Captain of the fastest most-advanced Starship to date in the United Federation Of Planets & he should realise by now that he would never see the bottom of any morning cup of tea, which by the way was an Earl Grey, not just any type of tea. He was, as usual, halfway through when it came.
"Captain to the bridge."
Captain Picard sighed & set aside his Earl Grey; got up & left his ready room. A quick glance told him everything he needed at the moment; Lt. Yar was at the console in the back with the only Klingon officer in the Federation, the easily irritated Lt. Worf; his Counsellor of the ship, Deanna Troi, was sitting in her usual place on the right of the Captain's chair while on the left was her long-time boyfriend Comm&er Riker & his Number One Officer. The ship was helmed by two officers; Geordi La Forge, a black man with a VISOR over his eyes for he was blind & his best friend Data, an android who couldn't tell a joke if his life depended on it. From this quick glance, a common person would think everything was running smoothly, but Picard also noticed the face of his first officer & it told him, literally, something was amiss. "Yes what is it Number One?"
"A tear in space has just formed," Riker explained. "We almost got pulled into it. However, Data was quick to turn us around-"
"By 12 point 8 seconds, Sir," Data began. "However if it was 12 point 9 seconds, I would not have been able to manage it."
"I'm sure you would have figured something out, Mr. Data," Picard said with a mild laugh.
"Sir, I'm losing it," Lt. Yar suddenly announced.
"On screen," Picard ordered & Geordi flipped on the window to view out into space. A bright white light illuminated the crack in space before going out.
"Sir, it's moving," Lt. Yar tried tracking it but lost it once more.
"Moving?" Picard wondered. "I've never heard of a tear moving before."
"Perhaps it's the birth of a new wormhole," Worf began with the slight growl that often accompanied a Klingon's voice.
"Perhaps so," Picard said. "Lt. Yar, see if you can pick it up, again. Oh & send a report to all neighbouring ships, tell them to watch themselves."
"Yes sir, I've already done that," Lt. Yar replied & Picard smiled to himself. He knew his crew all too well. "Starship Yosemite has received & replied. The anomaly has passed them already."
"Good good," Picard nodded. "Very well, set course for-"
"Sir, someone's here." Hardly had Deanna said that when the alarm 'Intruder Alert' all but blasted them out of the ship. Picard nodded to Worf & Yar who hurried off the bridge.
They soon located the intruder on deck ten, near the Ten-Forward lounge. A man was lying face down on the floor looking a bit dusty & muttering, 'I'll get you for this. I will.'
Yar scanned over him with her Tricorder. "Worf, he's human."
"Excuse me," Worf barked. "Mr. ...?"
The man rolled over to sit up & was in the middle of saying, "Black, Sirius Black." when he saw the creature (Worf) standing before him. Sirius passed out.
"Mom, do you have any idea how he even got on this ship?"
"No Wesley," Crusher replied. "But he seems fine other then being a bit dusty & unconscious."
"Perhaps it has something to do with that tear in space; I'll check into it." The boy hurried off before his mother could say 'No that's Ok."
Doctor Beverly Crusher shrugged & smiled to herself; her young son was a wizard when it came to computers. She had no idea she had yet another type of wizard lying right in front of her. "There seems to be an unusual bio-chemical signature coming from him," she remarked to Yar, Worf & Picard who had come to see whoever had intruded on his ship.
"I thought you said he was human?" Picard asked Yar.
"He is," Yar & Dr. Crusher said at the same time.
"Just different," Dr. Crusher added.
"I wonder what this is for?" Yar held up a long slender piece of wood.
"An odd sort of weapon," the Klingon was quick to reply, forcing Lt. Yar to try not rolling her eyes.
"Odd," Crusher began. "The same signature coming from him is in this wood too." She scanned it over with her Tricorder. The group was interrupted by Sirius as he finally awakened.
"Uhhh ..." Sirius groaned, sitting up slowly. "Where am I ... & who are you... & what is ... that?" He nodded to Worf who looked peeved while Picard, Crusher & Yar snickered.
"Well let's see," Dr. Crusher began. "You're on board the Enterprise & I'm Dr. Beverly Crusher with Captain Picard, Lt. Yar & Lt. Worf," she indicated each of them in turn. "Worf is a Klingon. Now, who're you?"
"Sirius Black. What's a Klingon?" Sirius muttered wondering just how hard he hit his head when Peter blasted the street to bits.
"I thought all humans knew about Klingons," Crusher said. "What planet do you come from?"
"Earth," Sirius muttered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, making Picard exchange glances with his officers before Dr. Crusher turned back to Sirius.
"You seemed to have hit your head," she began. "Perhaps you have a partial amnesia but don't worry; it should clear up in a few days."
"I don't ever remember seeing aKlingon," Sirius said. "I'm sure I'd remember that."
"Perhaps a quick tour would help you remember things," Yar offered & Sirius raised an eyebrow. "We could help you find what ship you belong to, probably not of the Fleet seeing as you're not in uniform but you'll remember soon enough."
"I'm not one to turn down the lady," Sirius smiled. "However, I must get back to Godric's Hollow. There is a murderer loose who intends to kill my Godson & he already tried last night. James ... Lily ... I couldn't save them, but Harry escaped. I must get back soon ... Remus. Oh Merlin, what'll he think?" Sirius suddenly remembered that Remus thought he was the guardian of the Potters. Would Remus consider him a traitor now instead of Peter? He also wondered what exactly happened in that street. One minute there was a loud bang & everything around him splintered, the next he was lying in the halls of something called Enterprise.
"I've never heard of it," Picard said. "I'll get Data on it right away since it's urgent. He's probably the fastest officer on the Federation & I'm the lucky one to have him on my ship."
"Thank-you," said Sirius. "What's the Federation?"
"I can explain everything," Yar said. "Come on, I'll show you around; it'll help you remember." Yar had no idea that Sirius was not part of the Federation but from his own world of witchcraft & wizardry & neither was he of the same time for that matter. Sirius was from 1981, the Enterprise D was in 2364.
"One question," Worf barked, making Sirius jump. "What is this?" He held up Sirius's wand.
Sirius decided against mentioning he was magical just in case the people he was with were muggles. "Oh nothing really, just a family heirloom." Sirius held out his hand for it but Worf looked reluctant & glanced at Picard who nodded before he handed it over. Sirius tucked it neatly away for an easy grab as soon as he met Peter.
Sirius soon decided that it wouldn't matter if he told them or not when he realised where he was & what he was on. The Enterprise was a Starship beyond imagination. Sirius of course, knew about the space program & how muggles attempted to reach the stars because witches & wizards controlled that; the muggle folk would never make it off the ground with out them.
“This is our Arboretum," Yar led him into what was basically a garden where several children were playing near the pond while plants of all kinds Sirius had never seen before grew around him.
Sirius noticed what he could only assume to be a very big red rose; it was the size of a baseball, lying on the edge of the pond. He pulled out his wand pointed it to the flower. "Accio flower." The flower zoomed to his hand & he passed it to Yar.
"How'd you do that?" Yar asked, accepting the flower.
"The family heirloom," Sirius shrugged. "I was born with such powers, this just helps me control it. So Tasha, do you like the flower?"
"I do indeed," Yar said. "But you still should have told us you can do telekinesis. We've met several different species across space with similar powers; it is unusual, though not unheard of, when our own species can do it to."
"I can see you're a hard lady to distract," Sirius mused.
"That's why I'm Chief Of Security," Yar said.
Without warning, Enterprise lurched forward, knocking everyone off their feet as the klaxon of 'Red Alert' boomed through the walls. Lt. Yar pulled herself up & hurried out of the door with Sirius close behind.
"What was that?" Sirius yelped.
"I must return to the bridge," Yar answered. "We might be under attack."
