Potter's Chronicles
A/N I do not own Harry Potter or Riddick, only there respective authors and film companies do.
"side note" I have had this idea of writing a cross over between Riddick and Harry potter now since I started reading stories that dealt with those two. Now this story will most likely not be totally true to both worlds but a mixing of them, a little bit future. but still it will mostly take place in Hogwarts. I just hope I can pull it off. I will also be asking for a Harry Potter Beta-reader. if interested just leave a review letting me know.
And anything you see in Italics are for thought.

" They say that when your in cryo sleep, most of your brain shuts down...all but the primitive side...the animal side...no wonder I'm still awake. been traveling for who knows how long now. as embarrassing as it is, I was captured by the one thing I mate most in this universe...Mercs. You are probably wondering how the most feared killer, that had probably the biggest bounties ever issued, and not to mention, most slams have a cell that they leave open just for me, could have been captured. Well it would seem that Toombs was much more re-resourceful then I had given him credit for. Escaping those beast from creamatoria would definitely not be an easy feat, but it seems that he managed it. Toombs caught up with me shortly after I had left the Necromongers. They took Jack...No...Kyra, away from me, Imam also. One day they will pay. For now I travel with our friend Toombs, he said that he had received another job offer with another huge bounty on my head, he wouldn't tell me who sent out the job. so...I wonder where..."

Surrey.
Harry Potter was sitting in his little room at number 4 privet drive staring out his window at the stars. He had just lost his god father Sirius just two short weeks ago. Harry had told himself that he would not mourn his god father's death. Although that was easier said than done as Harry was beginning to find out.
No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get the image of Sirius's face out of his head. the expression of utter happiness, then the expression of confusion at being hit by a spell. Then he was gone..fallen through the veil...never to be seen again. Harry was starting to get angry again at the memory, but what bothered him more than anything was the fact that the the spell's beam color was one of red and not one of green, like the ones associated with the unforgivables. And the look on Bellatrix's face was at first one of glee at seeing her cousin being hit by her spell, then changed slightly when she noticed that he was falling backwards towards the veil. Her smile fell from her face and a shocked and horrified look spread acrossed it instead. As Harry looked back on it, he had the feeling that Bellatrix was only trying to get Sirius out of the way so she could complete her mission.
If that wasn't bad enough, Albus Dumbledore had thrown the prophecy that (he and the Order of the Phoenix had been protecting all summer long,) in his lap just a few shorts hours after Sirius's death. Although the headmaster of Hogwarts was in no way a bad man, He was more like a man who had lived along time and thought that he could do no wrong. Harry smiled a little when he thought about all the objects that had been broken in his anger at the headmaster. The smile faded once again when he heard his cousin Dudley bang on the wall that separated their rooms. He knew that his cousin was only doing it so he could annoy the boy that was considered a freak in the Dursley's house hold, So Harry decided to ignore it and try to think about more important things like training.
But before he could really go any further in his thoughts, Harry heard a rather loud crack just outside of his window, the fact that he was on the second floor of the Dursley's house wasn't lost on Harry either, so he picked up his wand from his night stand and aimed it the window. At first nothing, but then he could clearly make out the outline of a person. From what he could tell in the darkened window, there was someone that seemed to have short and spikey hair. Harry could only think of one person that had that hair style and that would be Tonks, A member of the Order, and one of only a few girls that he found attractive. At this Harry blanched.
"wait a minute!..did I just think that Tonks was attractive..?"but before he could get any more thoughts out, there was a soft, yet firm knocked on the glass of his window.
Harry walked over to said window and waved back.
Tonks sat on her broom scowling at the boy after he waved back, knowing full well that he was doing that on purpose and making her wait outside in the cold night air. The scowl did not go unnoticed by Harry, in fact he couldn't help but feel and for the first time since his godfather's death, a genuine smile spread across his face. Harry walked a little closer to his window and opened it just a little, so he could tease her just that much more, But when her scowl deepened, He knew it was time to just let her in. once Tonks was inside he slid the window shut, then turned to her.
" Hey Tonks..what brings you here at this hour...?" he was still slightly smiling as he spoke to her, then when Harry looked at the clock he noted that it was indeed getting late.
" Wotcher Harry! Just starting my shift.." she said while looking around his room, taking note that it was incredibly small and dank looking. she wrinkled her nose in disgust.
" Shift...what do you mean..?"Harry asked looking as well as sound very confused.
" oh sorry..I thought you knew, you see Harry..there will be an Order member stationed outside around the clock." Tonks was looking Harry straight in the eyes when she said this to him, and couldn't help herself but blush at the intense gaze that seemed to penetrate right down to her soul. why am I blushing like this..? she wondered to herself.
" no...I didn't know..why didn't professor Dumbledore tell me..?" He had a perplexed look upon his handsome features as he asked that last part more to himself than to anyone else, but received an answer anyway.
" I don't know Harry, but I better get going, Don't want anyone knowing I was in here talking to you and not doing my duty." she said with a small smile and a wink.
she waved goodbye and climbed back out the window, but not before getting her foot caught on the window sil and plummeted down into the rose bushes that lined up just under Harry's window. "ouch...that hurt.." she said while rubbing her backside and frowning at the sheer stupidity of her situation.
Harry ran the short distance to his window and peared down to see if Tonks was alright. Upon seeing that she was indeed alright, he couldn't help but laugh at her clumsiness. " Tonks..you ok..?" he said in between snorts of laughter.
Tonks heard his snorts as he tried to hold in his laughter, and she didn't appreciate it one bit, and to prove the point her eyes narrowed at him, with the look of promise that he would feel terrible pain if he kept his laughing up. At this look he quieted down, he face kept grimacing everytime he held in the occasional snort.
" yeah..I'm alright, now get back in there before I hex you into your next school term." she emphasized her point by pointing her wand in a threatening manner at Harry.
he got the point quite clearly to. he waved and dissapeared behind the now shutting window.
Tonks couldn't help but smile at the young man's antics. She was afraid that he would be in a depressed mood, and Tonks would not have blamed him one bit seeing as he had just recently lost someone very important to him. But she was pleasantly surprised when she had seen him smile and poke fun at her clumsiness.
Tonks couldn't help but let another smile grace her beautiful lips before silently making a vow to her young friend.
"I promise you here and now Harry Potter. I will never let anything harm you...ever." she looked back up to the now closed window after she made the silent promise, then proceeded to head back to the tree that would be her home for the next several hours.

Hogwarts.
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office, wondering how things could have gotten out of hand so far and so fast. The fiasco at the Department of Mysteries was definitely not foreseen by the old headmaster. The fact that he had also fought his one time student, Tom Riddle, or as he is now known as Lord Voldemort, was not something that he was happy about. In truth he would have done anything to avoid fighting all together, but knew all to well that with Voldemort out there, he would not be able to stay out of the fight for long.
His self imposed alone time was interrupted by a rather loud knock on his door.
" Enter Minerva." he answered in a somewhat distracted voice.
It was indeed his deputy headmistress Minerva McGonagall, She strode into his room at a fevered pace fully intending on speaking to her long time mentor and friend about the situation with one Harry Potter.
" Albus, we have to talk.." her eagerness was clearly displayed on her features.
" I dare to guess that this will be about Harry..?" to Minerva this was not a knew thing, Him knowing before hand what she had wanted to talk about, and ever after all these years it still gave her the creeps, She quickly shrugged it off and answered him with an affirmative nod.
" Minerva..I know full well that Harry should be with his friends, but the blood wards that surround his families..." he never got to finished that sentence, as the Gryffindor house head interrupted him with a very loud shreak.
" Family!!, they are not his family Albus..they treat him worse than one treats a cockroach, must I remind you of the fact that he eats very little while he is there at the muggles house. He does chores all day long only stopping to cook for them, and his reward for all this is a simple cheese sandwich and maybe a little bit of juice, and thats if he is lucky..!" Minerva McGonagall's eyes flashed very dangerously at her headmaster as she finally stopped her rant..
" Why was I not made aware of this!" for the first time in a very long time Albus Dumbledore was mad, and we are not talking simply the annoyed type of mad, but as in furious, furious at the fact that noone had made him aware of the fact that Harry Potter the boy who he considered his grandson was being abused by his relatives. he was also angry with himself for not keeping a better eye on the boy himself, a mistake he was going to rectify right away.
" I apologize Minerva, for lashing out at you like that. I am just angry at the fact that I never knew this." he paused and a look of confusion as well as frustration came upon his aged face.
" I just wonder why he had never told me this before..?" the look of confusion never left his eyes. his face however screwed up into a very angry scowl as he said his next words.
" that will be discussed later as I want you to gather up Alastor, Remus, Mr. Shacklebolt and yourself of course and meet me in front of Number 4 Privet Drive, I will inform Miss Tonks on what is going on when I arrive. I swear to you now Minerva, Harry will not spend another night at that place..ever..again, Fawkes my friend please take me to Harry.."
Fawkes flew to his familiars side, holding its tail out to the Headmaster. Once Albus grapped onto the phoenix, there was a very bright fire flash and they were gone, in turn Professor McGonagall herself was already in the process of contacting all the people her Headmaster had wanted her to collect.
--------------------------------------------------------
back in Surrey.
A very bright flash if fire had signaled the arrival of one Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, At first he did not see anyone. that was until he heard a familiar female voice speak to him.
" Alright you..!, Turn around..slowly." Tonks had seen the bright flash of fire, her wand was out so quickly that it only looked like a blur. she was not about to take any chances with Harry's life. So she kept her wand pointed directly leveled with the back of the headmasters head and then face as he slowly turned around.
Albus had lived a long life, and he knew that when a woman told you to turn around slowly, you in fact did just that as he knew full well that most likely her wand was pointed in a very critical place. Once he was fully turned around, he was not disappointed in that regard either, as he was facing down the business end of one Nymphadora Tonk's wand.
" Hello Miss Tonks. I am proud to see that Alastor's teachings have not gone to waste on you." He said with a twinkle in his angry looking eyes, all the while keeping his hands where she could see them. He simply did not want to provoke the young auror into hexing him.
" Now, what I want you to answer me this one question. your answer will determine if you walk away or be turned into a pile of steaming crap." she waited for a moment to gage his reaction, at his nod she continued. " Alright then. Where did Harry's first letter from Hogwarts go..?" She didn't have to wait long, as Dumbledore's face split into a huge grin.
" why my dear that is simple, in the cupboard under the stairs." the twinkle in his eyes were in full force but dimmed quickly and his lip quivered slightly as he realized what that had truly meant.
" Ok, then Professor. Sorry about that, can't be to careful..no?" Tonks smiled a little at the leader of the order, but it faltered when she clearly noticed the saddened look that came across her old headmasters face, but still felt relieved that he was indeed the real professor. " But, if I may ask sir...what are you doing here..?"
" We are here to bring Harry home with us." a very serious look crossed across his face, before it turned into one of determination.
" As in...back to headquarters..sir.?" She couldn't help but make her excitement known to the leader of the light. the still angry headmaster couldn't help but just smile warmly at her reaction the news that they were to bring harry back to Grimwauld place. and nodded his head. With that they began walking towards the front door both with determined looks on their faces.
As they reached the red door, there were several cracks of apparation that sounded just behind the two. and with practiced ease they had their wands at the ready and pointed at the group of people that had appeared behind them.
" Headmaster, we are here as ordered." said the heavily muscled Auror known as Kingsley Shacklebolt. he had smile of his own on his face when he noticed a wand nearly picking his nose. Both Dumbledore and Tonks put their wands away when they noticed who it was.
" Ahhh..Mr. Shacklebolt, it is good to see you, I do hope that your official capacity for the ministry is to observe the taking of an abused child from an un-safe home..?" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes and a frown adorning his face.
" why yes..." but was interrupted by the shouting from Tonks.
" ABUSED!!, WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABUSED..!!" she was shaking with suppressed rage at this point. Professor McGonagall walked up to the young Auror and put her hand on the girls shoulder, trying her best to calm her down.
" Nymphadora, please..calm down, there is truth in what the Headmaster says, but for now just trust in the fact that we are taking Harry home to Grimwauld place." she smiled as best as she could for Tonks, completely ignoring the look of contempt that was thrown at her by Tonks for using her first name.
" Ok fine...but I want some answers when we get back!" she said nun to gently, but calmed down anyway.
Everyone headed back to the door. They didn't even bother knocking and just..blew the door off of its hinges. Now it was quite late at night by this time and the Dursleys were sleeping like most muggles do, But at this time the Durselys were wide awake, after hearing the explosion being echoed through there two story home. Of course you would have to be in a coma not to hear that explosion.
The Order members that entered the home spread out like eagles in search of food. First off Vernon Dursely ran downstairs to see who had broken into his home. Upon seeing the same " Freaks " as he liked to call them, fanning out and around the first floor of his families house. He did notice the very angry looks that were thrown his way from most of the people, but none more prominent than the tall one with a funny crooked nose and long white hair and beard. Vernon could literally feel the magical power that was radiating off of this one individual and it shook him to the core of his being. But as always, his stupidity over-rode his logical side.
" WHAT ARE YOU FREAKS DOING IN MY HOME!!, GET OUT BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!! I WILL NOT TOLERATE YOUR FREAKINESS IN MY PRESENCE!" it was at this point in his tirade that he saw not one but 3 wands being pointed in his face, and one pointed directly...well lets not discuss that now. lets just say its in a very private place.
It was Headmaster Dumbledore that spoke first.
" I would advise you Mr. Dursley, that you refrain from using such language in my and my companies presence." the anger in his voice was very evident, as well as the sneer that played across his lips. Vernon deflated rather quickly and said absolutely nothing.
" Minerva, would be so kind as to get Mr. Potter so we can leave this place." Dumbledore added to his deputy headmistress.
Minerva McGonagall nodded and quickly ascended the stairs, once she reached the door to Harry's room, she had the impulse to just rush in there and yank him out of there and get him to safety. but thought better of it as she knew he would not appreciate that very much. and so she simply knocked on his door. On the other side she heard a faint call of " come in". she walked in and saw him sitting on the edge of his bed, with his trunk already packed and ready to go. Minerva McGonagall couldn't help but smile at this.
" so I take it, that I'm leaving..?" there was excitement clearly evident in his voice as well as his eyes.
" yes Har...I mean Mr. Potter, you are being taken our of this retched place." her own excitement was also evident but she held it a little bit better.
A few moments later Harry with Professor McGonagall had reached the living room where the rest of the order plus Albus Dumbledore were waiting for him. Harry looked over and noticed that Vernon and the rest of his family were sitting on the couch at wand point from both Mad-eye Moody and Tonks of all people. He found it quite amusing at the site of his relatives being in a similar situation that they had put him through many times. being held at basically gun point to do what someone wanted you to do.
" well I wish I could say that it has been fun, but to be honest...it hasn't been fun. I would offer this piece of advice to you though. get out while you still can, because once I leave this place, the protection that the death of my mother helped put on this place and not to mention the ones that the headmaster here put on himself, fall. Voldemort will surely come and make you his first victims of revenge against me. I am only offering this warning to you because I want you to know that it was a FREAK that did his best to save your miserable hides. Make no mistake about it, I have no love for you. you treated me horribly, and I do hope you rot in hell for what you have done to me. so without further words to you, I hope you live a miserable life...however long that will be.." Harry turned and walked out the door never to return.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merc Ship.
" we are arriving in orbit sir!" shouted the pilot.
" Alright then, take us down and bring us in nice and slow, our mechanic had told me that the ship took a severe beating when we entered that weird looking hole in space." Toombs said to his pilot in a quiet tone.
" Another crew that is a bit skittish, huh Toombs..?, maybe you should tell them about the last two crews you had with you before." Riddick couldn't help but laugh at the expressions on all the crews faces.
" everyone back to work!" he shouted to them, then looked over to his prisoner. " you are worth alot of money Riddick, but just so you know, the sheet did say dead or alive." Toombs was doing his best to put on a intimidating face, but to Riddick it looked more like Toombs might have had a bad meal and the gas was becoming to much for him. So Riddick barked out a rather loud laugh.
" Ha!, big words for someone that has me locked up in restraints, I seriously doubt you would be talking so big if I wasn't shackled". he leaned in as far as the restraints had aloud him. his voice dropped to a dangerously low tone.
"Now you hear me out Toombs, I maybe worth alot of money to you and maybe the sheet did say dead or alive. You should know by now that what happened on Creamatoria could happen anywhere else, so you remember that Toombs before you open that mouth of yours.." Riddick leaned back into his seat with a satisfied look on his face.
Toombs just sat there doing a good impression of someone who was hit in the gut with a sledge hammer. but choose to ignore Riddck at this point and land his ship on the planet that had appeared on their sensors when they had exited that strange hole in space.
" Alright people listen up!, we go in find out where we are and get back to where we need to be, basically your basic intelligence op. blend in and get whatever information you need by any means necessary." with that said the ship descended upon the unsuspecting planet.
But fate seemed to have something also in store for the mercenary crew as well as the infamous Richard B Riddick.
