Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or settings, either from Harry Potter or Gundam Wing. I love both series this is just my way of showing my appreciation.
Warning: Angst!! This is gonna get pretty dark, yet fluffy. Rated R, but keeping the no lemon policy. Yoai, so all the couples I deal with will be boy/boy.
Notes: I love Harry Potter, so I took my favourite characters and stuck them in the same environment. But this is not the same story!! I can't stress that enough; there will be similarities but more towards Gundam Wing then Harry Potter.

Duo Maxwell; The Boy Who Lived
By: GhostJ
"Professor J are you sure it's a good idea to allow that boy into school?" Asked the tall witch in a black cloak. As she looked out of the window her eyes were followed the progress of a brown haired boy across the front field of the castle.
"For the last time, I said this school would be open to all who need its guidance. Especially not a boy who needs its help, it's never too late to help someone change."
The witch turns to regard the old-man sitting behind the ornate desk that takes up most of the room. He meets her eyes and almost sighs as she continues the questions.
"But is it safe to have him so close to Duo? He could very well be an informant or worse yet an operative."
"The hat picked him for Griffindor, Catherine. Would you prefer if he were placed in Slytherin?"
"No sir, but I just wanted to be sure you knew my stance on this matter."
"Yes, yes protest dully noted. Now back to class and keep an eye on him."
"Thank you sir"

"Ok class, settle down. I have a new student to introduce to you."
The class settled down quickly into our usual spots, three students per table. I'm in the middle with Quatre on my right and Releena on my left. I swear she sits near the aisle so se can get to front to help demonstrate spells easier.
Honestly I get jealous of her sometimes; she's so good at all this stuff. Me...You'd think that being the only person to survive a curse from Lord Khushrenada would give you an advantage over most people. Well, you'd be wrong. I'll I can show for it are a pair of purple eyes and being able to chitchat with creatures that see me as dinner. Sure talking with animals sounds useful but all I can show for it is knowing; "Six easy steps to shed your skin" and "How do dry out your feathers if you get caught in the rain". Yah that's useful alright.
Quatre never sits beside Releena. She's never been very close with him. He's much too serious and so is she, not a good combination. Honestly I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't showed up. I do think Quatre ever laughed before I replace Releena's wand with a licorice stick. Sure she was pissed, but to see him happy and not worrying about his family for once, it was more than worth it.
The class gets gradually quiet. Well except for a few whispers, specifically the ones going between my two friends.
"Yo, Releena, since when has Hogwarts accepted students after the first year?"
"They don't. Well there's no rule against it but it's definitely a first."
Then the new student walks in and there's only silence.
Prussian blue eyes look out from under a shock of tussled brown hair, followed by defined check bones and a body a sculptor would kill to create. A general sigh rose from the females of the room, only to be stopped by the cold, almost frigid aura he was giving off.
I find myself shifting uneasily in my seat as he scans the room. His eyes meet mine and I'm surprised by the electric shock that passes through me. He looks away and I find myself breathing a sigh of relief, or is it remorse?
"This" Says Professor Bloom, the Head of Griffindor House. Ms. Bloom is strict and demanding but you can usually count on her when you're in a pinch, unless it's due to your own stupidity. "Is Heero Yuy. He is a transfer student from Durmstrang, I'm sure you know the school."
"Isn't that the school that specializes in dark arts?" Quatre whispers almost frightened.
"Well, maybe he knows some more advanced methods of countering them." Apparently Releena has already made up her mind about Heero and in her eyes he could do no wrong.
"Class." Ms. Bloom called our attention once again. "Now Heero has been sorted into Griffindor House, so I want you all to treat him just as you would treat anyone else here."
"Is it just me or does she sound like she's trying to convince herself more than us?" I whisper tersely to Quatre.
"Who here is taking Arithmancy after this class?" Releena's hand grazes my ear, it shoots up so quickly. "Ah yes, Releena." Ms. Bloom pauses for a second as if she's considering it.
"Very well, Heero please take the seat in front of Releena. She'll be helping you get settled in here. Now class..."
She continues the lesson but most of the class is only listening with half a brain. I quickly scribble down notes and give a cross-eyed look to Quatre. He nods his head agreeing, Releena is crazy. Then he nods at Heero who has taken the seat in front of us and shivers dramatically. I nod slightly and mouth "later" as Ms. Bloom moves onto some new information.
Soon the class is over and Releena glomps onto Heero's arm merrily chattering at him about everything in the school. His response to this stream of consciousness is "Hn", a sort of grunt. Not that I blame him, even if he had wanted to he couldn't have gotten in two words edgewise. As we leave the classroom, with Releena and Heero far ahead, Quatre comes up behind me.
"I don't know why Duo, but something about him just gives me the creeps." He mock shivers. "I don't trust him."
I look at Quatre surprised; he's usually the first to trust any new person, even if they're slightly odd. Take me for example.
So what choice do I have but to agree? "Something's definitely up with him."
"Yah, up his butt."
Quatre and I turn around to face the two girls who came up form behind.
"Sara said 'hi' and all he did was grunt."
"But he is cute, so I'll forgive him." States, well I guess it's Sara. "We've got Herbology now, you guys?"
"Care of Magical Creatures," Quatre replies. As they walk away he continues; "Good thing too, maybe Wufei knows more about this new guy."
