Green Eyes Chapter 1: 1st Years - Character sheets, a Harry Potter + Eyeshield 21 Crossover fanfic

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a crossover between the Harry Potter series and Eyeshield 21. The setting is Harry Potter's world, more or less 16 years after the end of the 7th book. The Eyeshield 21 characters will be students at Hogwarts, along with some unimportant OCs to fill in the voids, but the rest will be from JK Rowling's books (I'll try to make things as loyal to the books and its universe as possible).

For the sake of the story, please ignore the Japanese precedence of both characters and names. Imagine what you like, either ignore it or think of a massive immigration of Japanese wizards a hundred years ago, but in this story they are all English, no relation to Japan at all.

One mayor canon divergence that I think is important to mention is that Snape is alive and kicking, and teaching Potions. The reasons will be explained later on in the story, but he's one of my favourites, and just couldn't kill him off in my own story… so he got saved in the end. Perks of being the author. I would have revived George too, put I felt I was pushing it ^^U

Also, the original characters from outside school won't appear much. Mentioned certainly, and maybe a small cameo or so, but the story's main character is Hiruma and the Boy Who Lived has had enough spotlight in his own books already.

As mentioned in the summary, the first 3 chapters will be some character sheets in age order, explaining each person's sorting and wand types. To sort them I took into account mainly their personality, but with the difficult cases I also looked at their original High School and University arrangement, and this story's Quiddich teams. I've added some background where I felt it played a major role in the Sorting Hat's and their own decision. If you feel that someone should have been sorted anywhere else please let me know, I'd love to discuss.

Suggestions are appreciated.

First Year:

GRYFFINDOR:

Sena Kobayakawa

As he's neither studious, particularly intelligent nor cunning, the only other House he could have fit in was Hufflepuff. But even though he's nice and patient, certainly good Huff material, the Hat put him in Gryffindor. The reason is that, beneath his cowardice and submissive behaviour lies a dormant bravery and desire to do right.

WAND:

Larch

" Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood. Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply. This much sought-after wand is, however, hard to please in the matter of ideal owners, and trickier to handle than many imagine. I find that it always creates wands of hidden talents and unexpected effects, which likewise describes the master who deserves it. It is often the case that the witch or wizard who belongs to the larch wand may never realise the full extent of their considerable talents until paired with it, but that they will then make an exceptional match. "

Unicorn Hair

While this core does not generally produce the strongest wands-although the wand wood may enhance its power-wands that have unicorn hair in them are the least flamboyant, decreasing its susceptibility to fluctuations and blockages. Advantages of this core are that it usually produces the most consistent magic, and that it is the most faithful to its owner of the three cores. A wand with a core of unicorn hair is harder to turn to the Dark Arts than dragon heartstring and phoenix feather, a factor that many witches and wizards like.

Tarou "Monta" Raimon

Daring, brave and reckless. He wouldn't fit in any other House: he isn't intelligent nor studious enough for Ravenclaw, although ambitious he doesn't have the cunning to be in Slytherin, and even though he's dedicated and hardworking, he's too reckless and explosive to be in Hufflepuff. His great ambition is to become a professional Keeper.

WAND:

Hornbeam

"My own wand is made of hornbeam, and so it is with all due modesty that I state that hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession (though I prefer the term 'vision'), which will almost always be realised. Hornbeam wands adapt more quickly than almost any other to their owner's style of magic, and will become so personalised, so quickly, that other people will find them extremely difficult to use even for the most simple of spells. Hornbeam wands likewise absorb their owner's code of honour, whatever that might be, and will refuse to perform acts - whether for good or ill - that do not tally with their master's principles. A particularly fine-tuned and sentient wand."

Dragon Heartstring

This core is the most flamboyant of the three, and often produces the strongest wands. Dragon heartstring usually favours ambitious spell-casting and as a result the wand is more likely to turn to the Dark Arts than any other core; however, a wand that has this core will not do so of its own will. Dragon heartstring wands generally aren't sensitive to moving on from previous owners, but bond strongly with the current owner. This core produces wands that are most prone to accidents, being quite temperamental at times.

Takeru Yamato

Although intelligent and wise enough to be a Ravenclaw, he doesn't thrill on knowledge, and therefore he wouldn't fit in that House. He may be kind and hardworking, but he's in no way a Hufflepuff.

The hat had trouble choosing between Slytherin and Gryffindor. He is definitely ambitious and cunning, manipulative when he needs it. He's brave, chivalrous and honourable. When asked where he would like to be put in, he surprisingly opted for Gryffindor (coming from a pureblood, elitist family). The boy assured that his family wasn't pressuring him to be in any particular House, but that everyone thought he'd end up with the Snakes. He thought it would be an interesting experience to go against everyone's expectations, and felt that's he'd fit far better with the Lions. And so, the hat put him in Gryffindor.

WAND:

Apple

" Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic. It is said that the possessor of an apple wand will be well-loved and long-lived, and I have often noticed that customers of great personal charm find their perfect match in an applewood wand. An unusual ability to converse with other magical beings in their native tongues is often found among apple wand owners, who include the celebrated author of Merpeople: A Comprehensive Guide to Their Language and Customs, Dylan Marwood.

Phoenix

"This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won."

Riku Kaitani

Has traits of all Houses in abundance. Studious and intelligent from Ravenclaw, ambitious and determined from Slytherin, kind and hard working from Hufflepuff, and brave and chivalrous from Gryffindor.

He doesn't pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge though, so not Ravenclaw, and he is too ambitious to be Hufflepuff. So the choice is between Sly and Gryff. The hat chose Gryff, because he is too honest and forward to be a Slytherin, and he'd rather do what's right before what's necessary.

WAND:

Black Walnut

" Less common than the standard walnut wand, that of black walnut seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master. It has one pronounced quirk, which is that it is abnormally attuned to inner conflict, and loses power dramatically if its possessor practises any form of self-deception. If the witch or wizard is unable or unwilling to be honest with themselves or others, the wand often fails to perform adequately and must be matched with a new owner if it is to regain its former prowess. Paired with a sincere, self-aware owner, however, it becomes one of the most loyal and impressive wands of all, with a particular flair in all kinds of charmwork. "

Rikiya Gaou

An unusually large and fit boy whose only aim in life is to duel and fight against powerful wizards. Therefore, due to his reckless and brash nature, the Hat could only sort him into Gryffindor, even though he has some traits of the other Houses (hard work, dedication, ambition).

WAND:

Blackthorn

" Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior. This does not necessarily mean that its owner practises the Dark Arts (although it is undeniable that those who do so will enjoy the blackthorn wand's prodigious power); one finds blackthorn wands among the Aurors as well as among the denizens of Azkaban. It is a curious feature of the blackthorn bush, which sports wicked thorns, that it produces its sweetest berries after the hardest frosts, and the wands made from this wood appear to need to pass through danger or hardship with their owners to become truly bonded. Given this condition, the blackthorn wand will become as loyal and faithful a servant as one could wish. "

Suzuna Taki

An easy-going, friendly girl without further ambition than having a good time and making friends. This doesn't make her suitable for the Slytherin House, although she can be sly and manipulative when she wants to.

She's not particularly intelligent, and doesn't like to study, so not Ravenclaw, even though she's quite creative. She's kind and friendly, but she doesn't have the patience or the danger-aversion to be a Hufflepuff.

Being brave, quite reckless and adventurous, Gryffindor is the House that best suits her.

WAND:

Dogwood

" Dogwood is one of my own personal favourites, and I have found that matching a dogwood wand with its ideal owner is always entertaining. Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun. It would be quite wrong, however, to deduce from this that dogwood wands are not capable of serious magic when called upon to do so; they have been known to perform outstanding spells under difficult conditions, and when paired with a suitably clever and ingenious witch or wizard, can produce dazzling enchantments. An interesting foible of many dogwood wands is that they refuse to perform non-verbal spells and they are often rather noisy. "

Kouji Kuroki

Unruly and troublesome teenager, he'd be trouble in any of the Houses. Not smart or studious enough to be in Ravenclaw. Not particularly kind or hardworking either, so not Hufflepuff either. Not ambitious or cunning enough to be in Slytherin.

On the other hand, he is reckless and daring, and if the situation requires it, brave too. Therefore, Gryffindor it is. The only problem is that one member of his inseparable trio of friends hasn't ended up in Gryffindor with them. At first they were angry, not with him but just angry for letting themselves be separated like this, but then they calmed down because they had always known Juumonji was different from them. So now they are one of the most controversial friendships in Hogwarts, not that they care.

WAND

Chestnut

" This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it. The wand of chestnut is attracted to witches and wizards who are skilled tamers of magical beasts, those who possess great gifts in Herbology, and those who are natural fliers. However, when paired with dragon heartstring, it may find its best match among those who are overfond of luxury and material things, and less scrupulous than they should be about how they are obtained. Conversely, three successive heads of the Wizengamot have possessed chestnut and unicorn wands, for this combination shows a predilection for those concerned with all manner of justice. "

Shouzou Toganou

Unruly and troublesome teenager, he'd be trouble in any of the Houses. Although creative, not smart or studious enough to be in Ravenclaw. Not particularly kind or hardworking either, so not Hufflepuff either. Not ambitious or cunning enough to be in Slytherin.

SLYTHERIN

Kazuki Juumonji

When you're the only son of an elite pureblood family, you usually end up being quite spoiled, arrogant and posh (a bit like Draco Malfoy in his time). However, given the bad relationship Kazuki Juumonji has had with his father for as long as he could remember, he always tried his hardest to do exactly the contrary of what was expected of him. He was best friends with a muggleborn and a low class pureblood, he spent more time playing around and practicing funny and practically useless spells instead of studying and he was always getting into trouble. But once he arrived to Hogwarts, the Sorting forced him to really think about his life choices. He didn't want to be labelled as scum, like he and his friends had been at the beginning, but he didn't want to end up like his father either. He wanted to prove himself capable, but get out of his father's and family's shadow and create a name for himself.

That's why, even though he was reckless and daring most of the time, he ended up in Slytherin for his ambition and determination.

WAND

Holly

" Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest. Holly is one of those woods that varies most dramatically in performance depending on the wand core, and it is a notoriously difficult wood to team with phoenix feather, as the wood's volatility conflicts strangely with the phoenix's detachment. In the unusual event of such a pairing finding its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way. "

Reiji "Marco" Maruko

He is intelligent and witty, but he's too ambitious and cunning to be a Ravenclaw. He's ready to do anything to achieve his goals, so he wouldn't fit in the most rule-loving House.

While he is hardworking and he is indeed nice if it doesn't conflict with his purposes, he is too individualistic and power-hungry to be in Hufflepuff.

He does consider himself chivalrous, but aside from that, he's too self-preservative and sly to be in Gryffindor.

He fits in Slytherin quite nicely, and the Hat didn't need a second to Sort him.

WAND

Ebony

" This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. In my experience the ebony wand's perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose. "

RAVENCLAW

Shun Kakei

He rebelled for some years when he was sent abroad against his will, but encountered a wizard that changed his life and made him view the magic world in a whole different perspective. Now determined to become a great wizard, he wants the House that'll best suit his needs.

He wouldn't end up in Gryffindor, for while he is quite reckless when angry, that doesn't happen much and he usually thinks things through before acting.

He became a really hardworking after deciding his ambition, but he isn't especially kind or loyal, not if people haven't earned it through sweat and blood, so to speak. Hufflepuff isn't right for him.

He is ambitious, dedicated and cunning when he wants to be, so he could easily end up in Slytherin. But he is also intelligent, quite wise for his age and he's quite the rule follower, so Ravenclaw would be a good choice too.

The Hat gave him the final choice, and after some seconds of deliberation, he decided on Ravenclaw, for he believes the House in general is more focused on studies and grades than Slytherin is, and he prefers to end his school years knowledgeable and with brilliant marks, rather than glorious and popular. There will be time for that later.

WAND:

Elm

" The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns. The truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-blood philosophy). "

Veela hair

While Garrick Ollivander usually only makes wands with Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair and Phoenix Feather as a core, this particular wand had been one of his multiple experiments, born from many tests. He hadn't thought it was fully functional, and had stored it away with the other experiments, never thinking of selling it. He was surprised when the wand found its match.

Taka Honjou

His father was a really famous Quidditch player and trained him almost from birth, but he isn't too interested in the sport. Surprisingly serious and stoic even as a young kid. He's smart and studious. He has no real ambition, being quite bored with life in general, so he decided that he'd try and learn as much as he could to find something he'd enjoy.

He isn't reckless or impetuous, he isn't ambitious or sly and he isn't particularly nice even though he is quite hardworking. The only House whose objective he'd choose to fulfill is Ravenclaw, which is just fine because he wouldn't fit in any other.

WAND:

Pine

" The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells. Many wandmakers insist that pine wands are able to detect, and perform best for, owners who are destined for long lives, and I can confirm this in as much as I have never personally known the master of a pine wand to die young. The pine wand is one of those that is most sensitive to non-verbal magic. "

Karin Koizumi

Nice and polite girl who would go out of her way to make other people happy. She's practically the personification of the Hufflepuff House: dedicated, hardworking, fair, patient, kind, tolerant and unafraid of toil. However, she's a natural artist, and her creativity and thirst for the magical world's knowledge send her straight to Ravenclaw.

WAND:

Willow

" Willow is an uncommon wand wood with healing power, and I have noted that the ideal owner for a willow wand often has some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they may try and hide it. While many confident customers insist on trying a willow wand (attracted by their handsome appearance and well-founded reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic) my willow wands have consistently selected those of greatest potential, rather than those who feel they have little to learn. It has always been a proverb in my family that he who has furthest to travel will go fastest with willow. "

HUFFLEPUFF

Natsuhiko Taki

An overeager, often obnoxious boy who changes his life aims like changing clothes. He's not smart nor studious, so although he is quite creative and original, he wouldn't fit in Ravenclaw. He is quite reckless and daring, but this is more due to his overconfidence and air-headedness than an actual act of bravery, so not Gryffindor either. He wouldn't fit in Slytherin because while he is dedicated, his objectives are too fickle to be called ambitions, and he isn't cunning or sly enough. On the other hand, he is nice enough, hardworking and patient with other people, and is always ready to help, as he believes is his duty for being "gifted". A well-meaning idiot that'd find his home in Hufflepuff.

WAND:

Laurel

" It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory (a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands), I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic. Laurel wands are sometimes called fickle, but this is unfair. The laurel wand seems unable to tolerate laziness in a possessor, and it is in such conditions that it is most easily and willingly won away. Otherwise, it will cleave happily to its first match forever, and indeed has the unusual and engaging attribute of issuing a spontaneous lightning strike if another witch or wizard attempts to steal it.

Daikichi Komusubi

A single-minded boy whose only purpose in life is duelling. This being so, one would think he'd be Sorted into Slytherin, but he is neither sly nor cunning, and he is too chivalrous and daring to be so. He wouldn't fit in Ravenclaw either, for he isn't studious nor interested in the pursuit of knowledge.

Therefore, he could either be Sorted into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. Finally, the Hat decided for the latter, as he was very hardworking, dedicated and loyal, and not reckless enough to be Gryffindor.

WAND:

Cedar

" Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, 'you will never fool the cedar carrier,' and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them. "

Kengo Mizumachi

A cheerful, sometimes over-eager boy who is quite unconcerned with studying. That's the main reason why he wouldn't fit in Ravenclaw, but he isn't particularly intelligent or wise either. He doesn't have a clear ambition, and he isn't sly or cunning either, so not Slytherin.

He would fit well in either of the two remaining Houses. On the one hand, even though he isn't very patient, he is kind, hardworking and dedicated. On the other hand, he is brave, courageous and quite reckless. The Hat let him choose, and he chose Hufflepuff. The reason wasn't too deep or given much thought, he just felt that the people there were more open. After being constantly pushed aside for being too eager, he was adamant on being with people that would appreciate his dedication and hard work.
