Alright everyone, I am doing two news things I have never done before: a crossover and a rewrite. Now, I have written a lot of Degrassi fanfiction, but I have also written Harry Potter fanfiction that I have never published. Since I have some experience in both and since I am such a fan of Rowling's work and of the show, I have decided to combine the two. Now, I'm basically using Rowling's outline, but writing it through the eyes of Degrassi characters. On that note, I would like to say pointblank that I do NOT own the plot of the Harry Potter series; that goes to the amazing genius known as Joanne Kathleen Rowling (aka, J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books); you'll get the idea of what I'm doing as I go, but I hope you all enjoy it. I will also be adding my own twist on things so I don't have Degrassi characters following Harry Potter's steps and I won't have them in his shoes (that will just be annoying and boring).

This is something I am doing in my free time and what I will be doing whenever I need a break from regular fanfiction writing, so I cannot guarantee many updates; this is purely for my own entertainment and I may just do the first book instead of the whole series. It all depends on what comes around. Now, that's the end of this extremely long author's note. So, ladies and gentlemen, read, review, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or Harry Potter.

Chapter One

It was more than Britain who recognized the amazing feat of Lord Voldemort. It was the rest of the world, and that included the witches and wizards of the Great White North. All of the Ministry Officials of Canada, including the Coyne, Sinclair, Torres, Bhandari, Goldsworthy, and Simpson/Nelson families, were amazed that the one-year-old boy known as Harry Potter was able to survive his curse while no one else could.

Owls were being sent everywhere to spread the news and to gather more information as to how a baby could live when his parents could not. It was quite a mystery and no one else seemed to know the answer. Well, Albus Dumbledore would probably know, but there was no use in asking him; he had been watching over the Potter family for some time now, for no one knew why and they had the suspicion that he would not tell them.

Many were curious, oh yes, but more were seeing this as a need for celebration. The Dark Lord had finally been defeated and the Wizarding World could live in peace. It was now November 1st, the day after the death of Lily and James Potter and the triumph of their son, and many were forgetting the Law of Secrecy and wore their robes out in public.

"I still cannot believe it," Laura Coyne was whispering to Mary-Kate Sinclair as they stood outside a Muggle restaurant known as the Dot. Mrs. Coyne was pushing a carriage that held two fraternal twin toddlers, a boy and a girl while Mrs. Sinclair held onto the hand of her eight-year-old and pushed the carriage of her own daughter.

"Neither can I," she agreed, their blue Ministry robes attracting the attention of many onlookers. "To think, he's the age of our children."

"I just don't find it possible; all these Aurors could not bring him down, but that boy can. It's mindboggling."

"Mommy?" the six-year-old squeaked, tugging on her mother's robes.

"Yes, Heather?" Mrs. Sinclair answered.

"What's an Auror?"

"A wizard who catches bad wizards," she explained.

"Oh," Heather said before looking down at her new shoes; she was still amazed by the fact that she could see her reflection in them.

"What I find amazing is that our children could be going to school with him."

"If the British Ministry agrees with our proposal," Laura reminded.

"Well, they can't expect all of the magical folks here to teach their children everything they know. And what all the Muggle-born children are supposed to do?"

For many years now, the Canadian Ministry has been struggling to get the British Ministry to agree to allow students in the country to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Canada did not have a wizarding school of its own, so that resulted in many of the wizarding community to be homeschooled by the families; unfortunately, those with non-magical parents had to go without education and they lived their whole lives without knowing who they truly were.

"Hopefully they'll figure it out soon," Laura said.

"Hello, Laura," greeted a new voice.

They turned their heads and saw Minister Raditch before them; he was not wearing robes, but by the way he was wearing jeans, a dress shirt, a bowtie, and a fez, he was getting more attention than the witches.

"Minister," Mrs. Coyne replied, biting her tongue to restrain her laughter.

"I just received great news; due to the recent miracle, the Minister of Magic in Britain has agreed to let students from here go to Hogwarts."

"That's amazing!" she exclaimed.

"Isn't it?" he agreed. "They'll be starting off small and only accept those in Toronto, but it's a step."

"Does that mean Heather and Holly J could be going to Hogwarts?" Mrs. Sinclair asked. Since she was a witch and was married to a wizard, there was no doubt in her mind that her daughters both have magical abilities.

"Indeed, along with . . ." Raditch looked down at the Coyne children, their names slipping his mind.

"Declan and Fiona," she informed him for what must have been the fifth time.

"That's right," he grinned. "These four along with many other young witches and wizards will be attending Hogwarts in no time."

"Let's not forget how the Muggle-borns would have a chance to go as well; just imagine how many there could be in this city."

There were many of them. There was the Edwards family, who had two young girls who both had magic in them, but their parents did not. Bianca DeSousa had a wizard father and a Muggle mother, who tried to forget all about the Wizarding World when she got married; after seeing that their living environment was not best for their daughter, they put her in the care of her aunt, who was a Muggle. The MacPhersons, Van Zandts, Martins, Betenkamps, and more were in the same situation, not knowing that their children were witches and wizards and were destined to go to school with the famous Harry Potter.

Short? Yes. Interesting? That's a matter of opinion. Feedback for this will be greatly appreciated. I do not know when I will update this again, but it will be updated again. Reviews please?
