A.N Recently, Psycho got into Soul Eater and that of course blended with her crossover addiction XD. I was in the crossover archives for Soul Eater and was scrolling trough it all when I realized there are no good crossovers for SE. (My apologies to those few good authors in this crossover category, I'm not insulting you, I just haven't found you yet.) I was in the HP and Soul Eater crossovers and thought to myself: "I could write a story way better than this with a decent plot line, good in character characters that was well thought out and was edited to the best of my abilities without a beta reader (I still need one btw)."
Anyway, rant aside, this is going to be around episode 26 of Soul Eater (I've only seen up to 38) and there will be a blend of the 4th HP book and movie. I had no idea what any of the SE peoples ages are so I played it out like this: Death the Kid, Maka, Crona, Liz and Tsubaki are 17, Soul Eater and Black Star are 16, and Patty is 12.
I have no clue if Crona is a boy or a girl or not though... I'm almost pretty sure Crona's a girl, yet the keep calling them a him in the anime. For the sake of this fanfic, I'm making Crona a girl regardless of what her true gender is. Could anyone tell me?
~Psycho
Maka leisurely walked up the steps pf the DWMA with Soul right behind her; slumped slightly and his hands in his pocket. She stopped right behind Tsubaki, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard looking up at the large school building with a slightly concerned expression.
"Hey Tsubaki." Maka greeted
"Oh, hello Maka." Tsubaki responded in a quiet whisper.
"Hey," Soul spoke up, "where's Black Star?"
"Up there." Tsubaki sighed sadly as she gestured in the direction she was looking.
"Is he seriously on the roof again?" Soul Eater asked. "How uncool."
"I AM THE ALMIGHTY BLACK STAR!"
A shout rang from the roof of the school in an almost immediate response to Soul's question.
"THAT'S RIGHT, ME: BLACK STAR, THE ONE WHO SHAL SURPASE GOD!"
"He's going to fall again." Soul commented.
"I'm sure he'll be fine." Maka assured Tsubaki when she noticed the fretful expression on the young woman's face.
"Hey Black Star!" Soul shouted up to him with his hands cupped around his mouth so the sound would travel better. "Quit being an ass and get down from there; you're scaring Tsubaki!"
Tsubaki took in a breath to say something to Soul, but Black Star was standing before them before she could even exhale. He put his hand on her shoulder and looked up at her reassuringly.
"You don't need to worry about me Tsubaki; I'm a star, and big stars like me never get hurt!"
Black Star finished his comforting reassurance with a ego-boosting declaration, completed by his hands on his hips as he struck a pose. Everyone sighed and sweat-dropped as Black Star continued to stroke his own ego.
"At least he got down from the roof..." Tsubaki pointed out.
There depressing reverie was broken by the sound of footsteps. Maka, Tsubaki, and Soul turned around in unison to see Death the Kid followed by Liz and Patty a step behind him.
"Hey Kid," greeted Maka.
"Hello Maka, Tsubaki, Black Star, Soul Eater." He greeted them all by name with a small nod in the direction of each person.
"Hey Kid, did you hear the news?" Maka asked.
"What news?" Kid queried.
"Lord Death opened an exchange program yesterday. You can sign up and go to this other school to compete in this tournament with a huge cash prize against three other schools." Maka explained hurriedly"
"A tournament? Sounds like something a big star like me could win!" Black Star gloated as he jabbed himself in the chest with his thumb.
"What's the hosting school called Maka?" Kid asked her.
"I don't remember," she admitted as she blushed slightly and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "I do remember it had to do with a hog or a pig though."
"Aren't they the same thing?" Soul asked rhetorically.
"Sounds fun, but ill suited for my tastes." Kid said.
Behind him, Liz and Patty frowned. They actually thought it sounded pretty fun.
"What about you Maka?" Kid continued.
"Definitely!" Maka said enthusiastically. "It'd be nice to see what a normal school is like for once."
"Well where's it at?" Soul asked his meister.
"London." Maka told him.
"Hey guys," interjected Tsubaki, "we're going to be late for class if we don't hurry."
"Oh! You're right!" Maka realized.
She grabbed Soul's wrist and tugged him as they rushed to their first period class.
Maka didn't have a long enough respite from her classes to sign up until lunchtime. She was accompanied by Black Star and Tsubaki with Soul and Crona sort of trailing behind were only two spots filled on the sign-up sheet, but Maka didn't bother to read them as she signed both her and Soul's names.
"Who else signed up Maka?" Black Star asked, as Maka was still standing in front of it and blocking his view.
"It looks like the first person to sign up was..." the air around her grew dark and depressing as she whimpered out the name, "Ox Ford and his weapon partner. I should have known he would have taken this opportunity to try and show me up."
Black star lightly pushed her out of the way as he grabbed the pen from her hand. He wrote down his and Tsubaki's names before reading the list himself.
"Hey! It looks like Kid signed up too!" Black Star exclaimed. "I thought he said he wasn't going to?"
"Maybe Liz and Patty convinced him." Soul put in. "They looked pretty excited when Maka was telling them about it."
"What are you guys signing up for?" Crona asked timidly.
"Some exchange program Maka found where we go off to this school in a foreign country to compete in a tournament" Soul summed up.
"How long would you be gone?" Crona tittered.
"Like a few months I would guess." Soul said.
"Months!" Crona whimpered. "I don't think I could deal with you guys being gone that long!"
"Calm down Crona." Soul commanded. "If you're that worried, then come with us. All you have to do is sign up."
Just then, mini- Ragnarok popped out an rested his fists on the top of Crona's head.
"I don't wanna go to no tournament; it doesn't sound like any fun!" He complained as he dug his fists in Crona's hair and caused her to whimper quietly.
"Yeah well, I hate to be the one to break this to you Ragnarok, " Soul told him, "but it's not your decision. It's Crona's, and if she wants to go, then you've got no choice but to go too."
"I guess signing up would be fine." Crona decided, pursing her lips in a thoughtful manner.
"Hey Black Star!" Soul called him over. "Give the pen to Crona, she wants to sign up too."
"Way to go Crona!" Maka congratulated.
"Yeah," agreed Black Star, "and with a big star like me around, I'm sure you'll do great!"
"When do we leave?" Tsubaki asked, speaking up for the first time.
"I don't know," answered Maka, "there's a sign-up deadline, but the sheet doesn't mention anything about a departure date."
Maybe Professor Stein knows. We have his class after lunch, let's ask him then." Black Star recommended.
Everyone nodded in agreement before walking down the hallway towards the lunch room.
"As you all have probably heard about, the sign up sheets for the exchange program are up finally."
It was almost the end of class, and Professor Stein was wrapping up by talking about the very subject Maka and Black Star were ready to ask him about.
"For those of you who are still a bit shady on the subject, what it all is is a competition. The whole thing is called the Triwizard tournament- don't ask me why they call it that because I have no clue. Apparently, this is the first time in a few decades because the death toll was so high in the past. If you chose to sign up, you would be required to go to the hosting school and compete against it and two other guest schools. Not all of you will be competing though: it states in the rules that each school may only have one champion and once you've been chosen there is no backing out. In other words, if you want to go, but don't care much for dying then by all means do so if only to watch your classmates compete, but don't sign up expecting to be the champion."
"Professor Stein?" Maka called out as she waved her hand in the air.
"Yes Maka, what is it? Do you have a question?"
"Uh hu, I know there was a sign-up deadline, but when do we leave to go to the other school?"
"That would be October 30th at a bit past 3 'o clock, though I'm sure those who signed up will hear from Lord Death beforehand."
"October 30th? That's only a week away." Soul commented to Maka under his breath.
"Yeah," agreed Maka also under her breath, "they don't give you much time to decide, do they?"
"Professor Stein?" Black Star called out the teacher's name.
"Yes Black Star?' Stein sighed.
"Will there be a chaperone or anything for this trip?"
"I'm glad you asked Black Star." Stein smirked sadistically at them. "yes, there will be a chaperone. Two actually: myself and Lord Death's current Death Scythe Spirit."
Maka's head hit the desk with a loud thump when she heard her father would be one of the chaperones.
"Stein is bad enough on his own, but now my dad has to go too?"She whined.
"It won't be that bad." Soul tried to assure her while weakly patting her on the shoulder and dreading the trip himself.
"Yes it will!" Maka whimpered.
As soon as the words were out of Maka's mouth, the bell signaling the end of class rang.
"If I were most of you, I'd seriously consider signing up!" Stein shouted as everyone gathered their things and left for the next class.
"So we've got a week hmm?" Kid said as he walked out the door with Patty and Liz. "Not much to do 'till then but wait."
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was explaining the Triwizard Tournament to his students.
"In the past, there have been only three schools participating in the tournament: Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts. This year however, a fourth school has been included: the Death Weapon Meister Academy, or DWMA for short."
A nervous buzz of chatter hovered over the students as Dumbledore made his last announcement.
"Death Weapon Meister Academy?' Harry repeated slowly.
"I've never heard of it." Ron said.
"Neither have I..." Hermione trailed of with a thoughtful light in her eyes.
"The delegations from these schools will be arriving in October and remaining with us for the greater part of this year. I know that you will all extend every courtesy to our foreign guests while they are with us, and will give your wholehearted support to the Hogwarts champion when he or she is selected. And now, it is late, and I know how important it is to you all to be alert and rested as you enter your lessons tomorrow morning. Bedtime! Chop chop!"
"Hey Kid! Kid! Wake up! It's time for school!"
Patty had taken it upon herself to wake Kid that morning. She was doing so by jumping up and down on him and continuing to scream in his ear.
"Alright Patty." Kid mumbled, to quiet for her to hear because she continued to bounce on him.
"Alright Patty! Okay! I'm getting up now!" He finally shouted.
Patty stopped bouncing and ungracefully landed on her butt as she fell on the bed near Kid's feet.
"Hey Kid! Do you know what today is?"
"What is today Patty?" Kid asked, genuinely curious.
"It's October 30th! Today's the day we got to that pig school place!"
"Well then Patty, you better go get ready for school. After all, you wouldn't want to be late, would you?"
A childish form of realization masked Patty's face as it dawned on her what Kid was saying.
"I'm gonna go get ready Kid. Liz is already up, so don't bother waking her." Patty announced as she leaped off the bed and ran down the hall.
On their walk to school, Kid, Liz, and Patty met up with Maka, Soul Eater, Tsubaki and Black Star. A general greeting was exchanged and the rest of their walk was, for the most part, uneventful.
"So, are you guys ready to leave today?" Black Star prompted after a long period of silence.
"Oh that's right, today's the 30th." Soul remembered.
"I wonder how we're getting there?" Tsubaki inquired.
"From what I've heard," said Kid, "we're leaving from the Death Room as soon as school ends."
"Directly from the Death room?" Maka asked.
"Uh hu!" Patty answered. "We're gonna get to the pig school using a magic mirror!"
"Magic mirror?" Black Star repeated.
"She means enchanted mirror." Liz corrected.
"It's a two way enchanted mirror that works the same way communicating with my father does." Kid elaborated. "You put in the number and step through the mirror. Then, you are automatically transported to the location of it's twin."
"That sounds really complicated and really simple at the same time." Liz commented.
They all stopped their casual conversation then, for they had arrived at the school. The topic of the trip they had planed for them latter that day didn't come up again until it was almost time to leave.
Minutes before the final bell, an announcement rang throughout the entire school: "All students participating in the exchange program need to report to the Death Room right away."
Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Crona, Kid, Liz, and Patty were all excused from their classes and they walked to the Death Room as a group.
They were greeted by Professor Stein, Spirit, and Lord Death all standing around a large ornate mirror placed off to the side of the middle of the room.
"Hey there! Hi! What's happening? How you doing?" Lord Death greeted with a wave of his unnaturally large white gloved hand.
"So? Are you ready to leave?"
"Um...Lord Death sir? None of us have our bags or suitcases." Tsubaki pointed out timidly.
Death seemed to peer at them intently for a few moments before clasping his hands together. "So it seems. Fine! Go grab your thins, but be back as soon as possible."
(45 minutes later.)
Everyone ran back to the Death Room a while later dragging duffel bags, messenger bags, backpacks, and suitcases of various sizes. They were also panting slightly from exertion and the fact that some of them had run half way across Death City and back while lugging around heavy suitcases.
"Good! Now we're all here and ready to go!"Death said cheerily.
Professor Stein stepped up slightly so that he wasn't standing directly behind the mirror.
"Now students I have done a bit of research in this past week and there are a few key points I feel I need to warn and inform you about. The first one being the name of the school we are going to is 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.' In other words: it's a school for young witches and wizards. However, they are unlike the ones we fight. These witches and wizards are just as normal as you or I." Stein paused and cocked his head to the side as his hand inched towards the large screw in his head. He seemed to rethink his earlier statement as he twisted the large bolt counterclockwise. "Sorry, bad comparison. What I mean to say is that they are ordinary people, just with special abilities. Plus, most of the people there will be around your ages."
"Professor Stein," Kid spoke up. "Where will we be staying during the tournament?"
"I can explain that!" Death interrupted.
"The way you eight will be arriving is through this enchanted mirror," Death defended his statement by gesturing to the mirror behind him, "which Kid has probably already explained how that works. Once you get there I will deactivate this one and another one will automatically activate. That mirror will work in the exact same way, but will send you to an area that will provide you with room and board, but hangs in a sort of limbo in the never after so that's pretty much all it's good for."
Throughout his whole speech, Lord Death punctuated everything with various hand gestures and diagrams pulled seamlessly out of nowhere, causing the whole thing to be quite entertaining for his audience.
"I must add one more thing though, " cut in Stein, "even though it's only a but past 3 'o clock here, it will be almost six where we're going."
"Alright, so is everyone ready?"Death asked with a smile in his voice.
"Hey wait, where's Ox Ford? Didn't he sign up?" Black Star asked.
"He chickened out at the last minute." Maka informed them all darkly.
"Cool." Soul said. "It's just us then. Let's go."
Stein breathed on the glass of the mirror, causing it to fog up. He put in the numbers '42-42-564' and the surface of the mirror glowed an eerie green. Soon, a large vortex-like swirling pattern appeared on the face of the mirror, which Stein casually stepped into. Seeing that it was safe, Black Star rushed in. He was followed by Tsubaki, Patty, Liz, Kid, Soul, Maka, and Crona, with Stein bringing up the rear.
Suddenly, all anyone could see was a very bright flash of green and those who went through the mirror experienced a sensation that they could only describe as being placed in a blender set on 'puree.'
I know, I wrote yet another story and have yet to finish any of my others. I suck eggs, and that's all I have to say. Tell me how much you hate me in a review if you're honestly that angry ;)
