When I first started reading this I wasn't sure what to expect. The only other HP/ST crossover I've read to date involved Harry as Mr Black. A very humorous read.
This story covers a much wider sectrum. The mixture is both pleasing and interesting. It kept my attention from the first and I appreciated that you kept track of such details as 'Ron'.
I suspect that Voldemort, or at least his spirit is trapped at Hogwarts behind those wards. I don't know if you will have Harry dealing with him/it down the road or not, possibly so but then again.
While you basically fast forwarded Harry's school years you did have him setup an area to practice his magic. A good way to leave open the possibilities of Harry displaying talents in magic no previously mentioned.
While I am looking forward to Harry's time at Star Fleet Academy I am even more eagerly awaiting to discover just what you have planned for him with the Klingons. Might that be happening when a certain wet behind the ears ensign is serving on his first cruise aboard the Enterprise?
I've many other other questions, I look forward to discovering the answers in forthcoming chapters.

Thank you for your review. I'm glad that you are enjoying the story so far.
I'll admit that your pretty much dead on as to whats behind the wards, and Yes Harry will be resolving that issue, but its still a few chapters away.
When I originally setup th idea of a magic practice area , it was more in the spirit of Harry being able to at least maintain what he knows, not necessarily develop new powers or spells independently of any outside influence. That being said, It's not out of the realm of possibility that he did,its just not something that I had consciously contemplated.
Harry will be running into the Klingons again, Specifically Krulack. The bad news its going to be a bit before that happens. When it does, well the general outline I have is going to be pretty exciting and hopefully unique.
One thing to keep in mind is that I am trying to marry the fictional worlds of Star Trek and Harry Potter with reality. I'm modifying real world incidents and the like to fit the story without being over the top or completely unrealistic. I'm shooting for an atmosphere of "Yeah I can see that happening" or "Hrumph, if I were in his shoes, I'd do it a bit differently, but yeah I can see why he did that."
So far it seems to be working.
Anyway, keep on reading and reviewing.
