So here is the first chapter to The White Demon, which I have adopted from Maverick14. I am very excited to be working on this. I hope you enjoy.
For the first five chapters, it will be the original chapters written by Maverick, though some details will be added and some things taken out, but nothing major. After that, it'll be just what I can think of.
All chapters will be released every Wednesday
I do not own either D. Gray Man, that belongs to Hoshino Katsura, and Harry Potter, which belongs to J. K. Rowling.
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Chapter 1: What is That Thing?
Harry exited the train, looking up at the familiar castle of Hogwarts happily. He was glad to be away from the craziness that had occurred at the Quidditch World Cup. Luckily, he and his friends had gotten away without being harmed, but the appearance of the Death Eaters had shaken up everyone. Students were still talking about it as they approached the castle.
Starting to walk forward, Harry stops when he catches a glimpse of something. Staring at the carriages, he spots a figure in white standing at the front of them. Black pits stared back at the boy-who-lived from slits in a silver mask where the creature's face should be, the entire figure covered in some sort of white fabric that flowed around the figure.
Just as suddenly as he'd seen it, the creature was gone. Harry looked around to see if anyone else had noticed the strange creature, but no one was looking his way. He must have been the only one.
He decided to forget about the creature, he didn't want any more weird looks than he's already gotten over the past year. He would ask Dumbledore about it later.

The only strange thing that happens over the rest of the day was Dumbledore's introduction of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Alastor Moody. The man was very odd-looking for an Auror, as Ron apparently recognized him, with his scraggly hair and false eye. Harry wonders if he should ask the new Professor about the creature he had seen. Or Hagrid then? If it was some sort of magical creature. He didn't know what to do.
He knocked on Dumbledore's office door after dinner, hearing soft conversation inside, and entered when he was given permission. There was a flash of white by the open window as he entered, then silence. Harry stared at the Headmaster in confusion. There was no one else in the room, so who had he been talking to? The portraits of the previous Headmasters looked nervously among each other. They appeared scared of something, but what?
"Who were you talking to, Headmaster?" He asked, attempting to have his inquiry be a polite question.
"Hmm?" As if Dumbledore hadn't noticed the boy, he looked up, startled, before doing a quick sweep of the room. He sighed after seeing that nothing was out of place. "Oh, just myself, Harry. I was thinking about having someone watch over the school. Just in case."
"Someone watch the school? Like a guard?"
Dumbledore nods, "Yes, like a guard. They will observe from afar, of course. We wouldn't want them to get involved with the students when they need to watch everyone. I will have them keep an eye on all of the students. I don't want anything to happen."
Harry was confused, before he remembered what he had come to see the Headmaster for in the first place, "Headmaster, I saw a strange creature earlier today, by the carriages."
The Headmaster suddenly looked very interested. "A creature? What was it?"
Harry shook his head. "I have no idea. I've never seen anything like it before. It was around the size of a man and completely white, except for its black eyes and a silver mask."
Dumbledore just looks amused. "Ah, I see. I don't really know exactly what it is. Why don't you bring it up during Defense Against the Dark Arts later? Or ask Hagrid about it. Either of them might have a better idea than me."
Harry thanked the man and left, still feeling like the Headmaster wasn't telling him something. But then, Dumbledore always seemed like that; keeping secrets unless someone really needed to know. Harry grumbling about the fact until he ran into Hermione.
"Harry, what are you doing? We have class now! We don't want to be late on the first day!" She dragged him off to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Ron following his friends a bit behind.
DGMHP-DGMHP-DGMHP-DGMHP
The class was interesting. No one could say they particularly liked Moody after he had used all three Unforgivable Curses on an innocent creature, but he was interesting nonetheless. Nearing the end of class, Harry raises his hand.
"Sir, what kind of creature is entirely white? I saw something strange this morning near the carriages, but it disappeared before I could get a closer look."
Moody looked at him, startled. "A white creature? Was it completely white?"
The man had a serious look on his face, so Harry was completely honest, "No, sir,it looked like it was wearing a silver mask."
This seemed to upset the man and he started to pace around the front of the room, muttering to himself.
"What is it, Professor?" Hermione, the only student brave enough, asked the man loudly to get his attention.
He looked up at her, as if surprised that she had even asked. "Open your books to page 514."
The room was silent, the only sound being of pages turning. Harry looked down at the assigned page and was shocked. On it, was an image very similar to the figure he had seen earlier. The entire creature was covered with some sort of spiked and tattered white cloth, only the black holes for eyes were visible within the slits in the silver half mask it was wearing. The mask was an interesting thing, and Harry looked closer at it. He hadn't been able to see the detailing of it earlier as the figure had vanished. It seemed to be made out of a single piece of silver, a crown carved into the nose with opposing detailing around the eyes. The right eye had lines carved into it, much like the crown, while the left had black swirls moving in towards the eye. It seemed very delicate on the creature's head, the face hidden by the cloth.
"The creature Mr. Potter saw was most likely the White Demon, a rare creature. It is the only one of its kind and only very recently was sighted and put into the textbooks. It is very dangerous. The Ministry has reported that it is almost completely immune to magic. Several Aurors happened upon it and few of their spells worked against it. We do not know what exactly it is or what it wants as it has been spotted all over the magical world. Do not approach it if you see it. Those that have gotten close to it have almost all disappeared. It is assumed that the Demon killed them. You do not stand a chance if Aurors cannot risk facing it." Moody's face was completely stiff, so serious that it was scary.
A flash of white in his peripheral vision made Harry turn his head, looking out the window of the classroom and into the courtyard. He turns slowly at first, waving a hand to his friends so they'd look out the window. He stopped in sudden fright as his eyes focused on the two figures standing in front of the school. The first was Dumbledore, looking mildly worried and speaking rapidly to his companion. The other person, if one could call a white, human-shaped mass a person, was the White Demon. All it was doing was looking straight at Dumbledore and moving occasionally, appearing to be responding to Dumbledore.
Mad-Eye shouts out in alarm and begins to limp out of the classroom, heading for the door. Harry and his friends stayed at the window, so they were watching as the White Demon seemed to fade into nothing as Moody exited the building. Dumbledore turned to the man, smiling gently, as if he had not just been talking to a creature on the Ministry's list of dangerous creatures. Dumbledore looked confused as the ex-Auror asked him what he had been doing, answering only with "speaking with the new guardian of the school" before walking away, leaving Mad-Eye Moody staring after him in shock.
There is the first chapter, I hope you enjoyed it.
