Let's begin. Our story begins in an empty room with gray walls, separate from space and time. It was created by one of a few fourth wall breaking, time traveling trans-dimensional being who write stories that alter the fates of worlds as they are written. These rooms are used to view the alternate copies of the 'Prime' world that have been created through the stories.
The room is rather empty, but that soon changes as two doors appear in a flash of light. One door is mahogany, and has a seal of sorts on it that glows red. The seal has ancient runes around it, repeating a phrase. 'Gremory'. The second door is a large oak one, with carved images on it. There are images of wraiths, dragons, snakes, a goblet covered in fire of some kind, and so much more around the edges. The center of it has an image of a triangle with a line down the middle, with a circle around the line. And through that triangle diagonally is a lightning bolt, that looks more like a perfectly make mark than a crack.
All is silent… Then the mahogany door opens, and all that is on the other side seems to be a red portal. The first to come through the portal is a redheaded woman with waist length blood red hair and bangs, around seventeen or eighteen, and is around five feet tall. This is Rias Gremory, the King of the Gremory Peerage and heir to the Gremory Clan.
She surveys the room and notices the other door, and turns around to face the portal. "It seems to be safe guys, come on through." She steps to the side as a large group of people walk through. A pair enters. The one on the left is a dark haired teen, around sixteen years old, and having a red gauntlet on his arm. The gauntlet is inlayed with a large green gem of an unknown material and a smaller grouping of blue gems around it. The gems have streaks of yellow pulsing through them into the gauntlet. The gauntlet is less of a glove than an arm of armor. There are fins that extend upwards from the end of the gauntlet, and they go nearly up to the teen's shoulder. The girl has straight golden blond hair that goes to her lower back, and is wearing a nun's outfit sans the cross, and has a satchel on her side with a Bible in it. This is Issei Hyoudou, the bearer of one of the two Heavenly Dragons and the Pawn of the Gremory Peerage, and Asia Argento, one of the two Bishops of the Gremory Peerage.
The gauntlet on his arm is the Boosted Gear, one of the twelve Longinus which have the capability to kill gods, in which the Heavenly Red Dragon, Ddraig, is sealed within.
A young girl, around 4' 6" and fifteen years old walks in after Asia. She has white hair that goes to her shoulders, piercing hazel eyes, and cat ears and a tail that are attached to her. She is Koneko Toujou, a Rook of the Gremory Peerage and a Nekomata (also known as Nekoshou) or cat person. In her arms is a cardboard box, which contains a young boy in a dress, giving him a very feminine appearance. He has two pointed canine teeth that stick out slightly, and blood red eyes. This is Gasper Bloody, one of the two Bishops of the Gremory Peerage.
A voluptuous dark haired woman around Rias' age saunters in behind Issei. She has a waist length ponytail and violet eyes and is wearing a Shrine Maiden's outfit. This is Akeno Himejima, a half-devil half fallen angel hybrid, and the Queen of the Gremory Peerage.
A woman carrying a large sword on her back walked in with a blond haired teen who also what a sword sheathed on him. The woman has blue hair with a green streak through it, and is 5' 5". The teen is blond and has a mole on his left cheek. This is Xenovia Quarta, ex-priest, and Kiba Yuuto, the two Knights of the Gremory Peerage.
Finally, a woman around 22 years old walks in behind them. She has blue eyes and silver hair, and is wearing tight, revealing, armor, with a full body skin tight suit underneath, and gauntlets, all made of a silver metal with gold trim. This is Rossweisse, an ex-Valkyrie, and a Rook in the Gremory Peerage.
All of them seem confident when entering the room, but are confused when it is empty. It is at this moment that the other door opens.
The other door opens with a loud creak, and there appears to be a small closet like empty room on the other side. Rias steps forward cautiously, but jumps back in surprise when a large spinning object appeared on the floor, and gradually slow down. They realized that the object on the floor is, in fact, three people.
One of them is a ginger haired teen. He is lanky, and quite tall compared to the other two. The second one is a bushy haired girl who is around 5' 3". The last person is a young man, around eighteen, who has startling green eyes, practically an inhuman shade of green, and a prominent lightning bolt scar on his forehead. All of them seem to be around the age of fifteen and are wearing robes.
The Devils ready themselves for combat, but stop when they realize the humans do not pose a threat to them. Issei steps forward to help up the trio, and also he could handle himself well enough if it is a trap. Both Asia and Gasper appear extremely nervous about the group of humans.
"Bloody hell, did anyone get the number of the Knight Bus that hit me? Or rather the portkey? I hope this isn't Voldemort again!" groaned the dark haired man. He looks over at the other two teens who are getting up as well. "Harry, don't be ridiculous!" exclaimed the bushy haired girl to the now named Harry. "I doubt You-Know-Who is going to do the same trick twice!" The redhead spoke up. "Well, whoever made that book a portkey, we sure fell for it." The ginger looks up and notices the group of people standing there.

"Who are you?" asked Hermione angrily. "And where are we?"
"Calm down" said Rias. "I am Rias Gremory of the Gremory Clan, one of the 72 Pillars of the underworld." Ron blushes and gapes at Rias as he ogles her chest, and the Hermione smacks the back of his head. Harry raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean by that?" he asks. "Are we in the underworld?" Ron pales. "A-are we dead?" he stutters. The group of devils snort at him. "Of course not." says Issei as he shakes his head. "If you were dead you would be a bodiless spirit, and be reborn." He argues, amused. "Explain" Harry says, getting frustrated by the back and forth path to conversation is taking. "We are devils, from the Christian Bible." Xenovia announces. "Who are you?"
Harry is suspicious, Ron is appalled, and Hermione looks delighted throughout this entire exchange, as if Christmas has come early. "So you're all devils? Harry! They must be working with You-Know-Who!"
Akeno steps forward. "Just because we are devils, it doesn't mean that we are evil. We have good devils and bad devils." she explains, exasperated. "And no, we don't know who you're talking about."
"My name is Harry, and this is Ron and Hermione." Harry introduces. "We are wizards, from a hidden group of humans in Britain who are born with magic. We haven't heard of devils actually existing before though. We do have dragons." Hermione explains. Ddraig takes that moment to ask a question. "How powerful are the dragons? In our world any dragon could defeat a small City with at the most a few blows of their stronger attacks. They also make good conversation."
"Did you guys hear the gauntlet just talk?" asked Harry. "Yeah mate, you think it's like the Sorting Hat?" replied Ron.
"Oh, this is Ddraig, a dragon who was trapped in this gauntlet a thousand years ago." explained Issei. Ron grinned. "Cool! My brother works with dragons! In the wizarding world, they are plenty strong, and it takes around twenty five wizards to control one so it is calm, and we keep them safe from non wizards by having them in protected reserves. They aren't harmed in any way." Ddraig went silent while contemplating that statement.
"Hm, why haven't we heard about wizards in Britain before?" mused Rias. "If they existed, we should have met them by now. "If they aren't evil, how come vampires are evil?" Koneko glared at him, and pulled Gasper protectively to her. "I'm not evil…" Gasper says, tearing up. "How dare you! You hurt his feelings!" Koneko hisses. Ron gaped for a moment. "She has cat ears! And she is a boy in girls clothi-ugh!" Hermione cuts him off with a jab to the side. "Enough, Ron! They are their own group with their own good and evil." She turns politely to the devils. I assume that since devils exist, so do the the Fallen Angels and Angels?"
"Oh, not just that. ALL religions, from the Greeks and Shinto to the Japanese gods exist, and get their strength from praying." spoke up Rossweisse. "I used to be one of Odin's Valkyries." Hermione squeals, and starts launching rapid fire questions. "Do you have multiple forms, like a human disguise and a real devil from? Can you fly with wings? Wait, do you even have wings? Ooh! Or a tail? Do you have magic or a type of curse? Can you teleport? How many of you are there? What can you tell me about the Angels and Fallen Angels?" Ron facepalms. "Not again", he moans. But it was too late, Hermione was already started. Amused, Rias decided to cut in before Hermione could get too far.
"Yes to most of those, but we don't have multiple forms, or a tail." She flashed her wings for a brief second. "We do have wings, and can fly, and the amount of wings we have correlates to our strength. We have magic, although that he kind of magic vary greatly depending on the bloodline of the devil and how they train. For example, I have the power of destruction, which can destroy nearly anything it touches. As for the other factions, we don't interact much since a war centuries ago that killed the four devil kings, and Satan, as well as most of the enemy forces. Now, do any of you know where we are?" she asked. They startle as a sound like pages turning fills the air.

A door appears on the fourth wall of the room, to the left of the oak door, and the right of the mahogany. It appears as if it is being drawn into the wall, although here is no visible writing utensil. The door is white, and has an artistic pattern on it made of swirls and dashes, creating a hypnotic effect. The door opens silently. A person walks through. It appears to be a young man, in black skinny jeans, with a blue t-shirt on. He turns to the group watching him and grins. "Heya! You finally made it!" he exclaimed loudly, with an infectious grin.

The being flicks his hand once and a comfy recliner chair appears, with black leather on it. A large sofa appears on each side of the chair he is in, and he gestures to the couches. "Come, take a seat!" No one moves. "Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself. I am one of the higher beings of this universe, as well as many others. I am known as an Author, and have the ability to create copies of any world and change the fate of that world. The original copy continues as it should, but I can change the properties of the copy as I wish. You are currently in my personal work room. It is a bit bland though, how about some decoration?" He claps twice. A fireplace appears in the wall, and some lights appear around the room, giving it a kind of homey feel. A few potted plants appear as well in the corners, and a coffee table made of glass is conjured in front of them with a case of roses on it. And the wall they are all facing, literally the only unused wall in the place, therefore it is the fourth wall, an enormous black screen TV appears on it with surround sound speakers. The Devils jaws dropped, but the wizards simply raised their eyebrows.
"Wow! How did you do that?!" asked Issei. Akeno and Rias look confused. "There isn't any magic that I've heard of that can do that." muses Rias. Hermione sighs irritably. "Honestly, it isn't that hard. It's just simple conjuration." She demonstrates by pulling out her wand and waves it. The potted plant in the corner turns into a dog that walks around the room a little, before she flicks her wand once and it reverts to its original form and location. "That's impossible! You can't create a living thing with magic, at least not an inanimate object to something it doesn't correspond to!" exclaimed Akeno. The Author stepped in before Hermione could argue back.
"Allow me. You are from alternate dimensions. And no, Hermione, you cannot ask questions now. Your world will never obtain cross dimensional travel. The only exception is the worlds the Authors create off of yours." Hermione looked disappointed, but nodded.
"So, why are we here? I know our lives are interesting, but why did you, an all powerful being above gods, take notice of is and interfere? Won't you taking us here for whatever reason cause us to be late to things back home? And why can't you help our worlds?" asked Harry angrily. The being ponders the question. "Hello? All powerful being here! I have time stopped in this place for this session. And it isn't like we can ignore you. You are the prime timeline. It literally has around 25,000 alternates that are connected to other prime worlds created by us Authors at this moment. For example, there is one where you are a girl, or face different issues in your timeline, such as artificial humans from another world visiting you from another alternate of a different prime world (The Iron Sole Alchemist Series by Howling the Werewolf). Or your alternate getting sent to a world ten years ahead but their technology is way more advanced. You help them fight an invading alien threat." He turns to Rias.
"As for you, the Authors enjoy inventing new ways to screw with Riser and do it with their favorite heroes or villains from each Primeline. But there are bad ones too, like where you betray Issei and he works harder out of fear of being left behind, and becomes strong enough to get revenge and kill you. It isn't fun, but some of these are made for entertainment, some because why not, a few because they want to write a darker world, because they are feeling negative and want to release those emotions, and others because we want to express an emotion and we enjoy it through writing. There are many of these worlds, and they get very convoluted. As for why we can't help? We cannot edit the prime timeline, aka the Primeline. We can edit the alternates, but only the ones we create." They sit in silence for a few seconds.
Suddenly the Author claps his hands. "Alright! I have brought you here to read/show you an alternate story called 'The Dragon Who Lived'. A crossover of the worlds of High School DxD, and Harry Potter. Which are your worlds respectively. I am your reader, and you can call me… Nyx! Now, let's get started!" he announces as a book appears in midair.
What do you think? I am letting people know now that I have a Tumblr called Lord-Momongas-Disciple, and I will post updates to my schedule and life and stuff there.
