Hello all, how are we today? Firstly I would rather like to thank you all for reading my beloved fic, it's very kind of you. And any reviews would very much be appreciated.

Being a huge Terry Prachett and a huge Harry Potter fan, I decided it would be interesting to do a crossover of the Discworld and Harry Potter. Because the general ideas of witches and wizards are completely different, I only hope I can do both justice. Forgive me if it's bad, reviews much appreciated. On with the fic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry potter or any characters and places, and the same goes for the discworld. Bentley does belong to moi, so no stealing.

Summary: Harry goes back to Hogwarts for his 6th year depressed and feeling very much alone. But there's light yet, things are going to be a little strange this year.

Pairings: Dunno yet, if u ladies want Harry and Draco that is what you shall have. But that's all I'll accept in terms of Harry and partner.

Harry potter and the Disc.

The summer had been long, but not the worst. The Dursleys heeding mad-eyes warning, had left Harry to his own devices. Which didn't consist of anything really more than sitting in his room feeling miserable and guilty. The constant thoughts that ran through his mind kept him up at night and made him toss, turn and grumble. He couldn't remember the last full night of sleep he'd had, a few weeks before the beginning of term Harry had been removed from the Dursleys and was staying with Remus Lupin. The purpose of this removal had not been fun and games. Discreetly Dumbledore had asked Lupin to keep an eye on Harry for the purpose of the next term, and also was required to teach Harry more defence spells etc.

Finally September 1st had come around and Harry stood outside kings cross blinking in the sunlight, silently saying goodbye to the last of the warm weather. Armed with a trolley of his Hogwarts trunk and Hedwig in her cage, he made his way to platform 9 ¾. Upon arrival his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Herimione Granger, immediately spotted Harry. "Alright Harry?" Ron greeted

"Yeah, just a bit knackered"

Although had had seen his friends over the holidays it had only been briefly, but they had been able to keep in close contact. They both had attempted to sooth Harry's pain, but it was of little use. Part of his guilt came from putting them in such danger, which then resulted in the loss of Sirius, the thought almost created an outburst of emotion, but Harry blanked his face and then his mind.

"Harry you look awfully tired," Hermione commented concerned "and slightly thinner than usual"

Harry tried to think of a response to this, true he had not been eating well nor sleeping. But he did not wish to have this conversation, thankfully Ron sensing his discomfort, came to his aid. "I'm sure its nothing that good few square meals will sort out and a couple of nights in your Hogwarts bed. Right Harry?"

Harry merely nodded, "Come on let's get on the train."

For some reason the train was busier that usual and only one compartment was not packed with students. But there was one sole occupant in it, with an unfamiliar face. A young woman dressed in traditional witches garb, sat looking out the window of the moving train. Her light brown hair was tied back in a tight bun. She had rectangle frame glasses perched at the end of her slightly hooked nose. As Hermione opened the door, her head whipped round. Harry felt mildly uncomfortable under her piercing blue gaze. After apparently deciding something, she smiled warmly. "Hi, erm, everywhere else is full do you mind if we sit here?" Hermione asked somewhat nervously.

"Why yes of course, please make yourselves comfortable."

Harry felt an odd kind of warmth spread through him, the woman's sunny manner, was comforting. It was an odd contrast to her previous look. And as silly as it sounded in his own head, let alone saying it aloud, he felt as if she had looked at his soul and had approved.

"May I ask you names?"

"Oh yes, I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ronald Weasley and that's Harry Potter." Harry and Ron each nodded in turn

"Most pleasant to meet you all, my name is Evelynn Taylor." She smiled again

The train ride, was unusually ordinary, Evelynn talked freely with Hermione about magic. It turned out the young woman was highly educated.

When they left the train, she disappeared and wasn't seen until the end of the welcoming feast. During which, Dumbledore introduced their new DADA teacher, Trinton Winner. A straight-faced young man, with deep green eyes. Several sighs were heard at his introduction.

After much food and drink, with a slightly bloated stomach, but thoroughly satiated the trio of friends were about to make their way to the Griffindor tower, when Professor Mcgonagall came up behind them "Potter Professor Dumbledore wishes to see you in his office, come on Potter"

Yes I know it's short, but I hit a wall, and plus I have to go out; I'm so much less creative when I lack nicotine. I swear the next chapter will be really long, and I'll try n update every week, only if you lot like it of course. Also it's not much of a cliffie, but then I hope you guys don't mind.
