Author's Note: Well, here I go again, with another long story, hehe. Hopefully I will get two chapters in per week. Anyhow, this is essentially a Diablo 2/Harry Potter cross over. However, you do not need to know any of the two plots to understand the story. It will also help if you have read my other story Jason Frek and the Muggle Artifact, but it is not that important. As I said, any person can read this and does not require the knowledge of Diablo 2 and Harry Potter. Blizzard Entertainment owns the plot of Diablo 2 and JK Rowling owns all the characters such as Harry Potter, Hermione, etc… Please R&R!
Chapter 1: Nightmares Again
Harry Potter isn't a regular boy, he is a wizard and he goes to a wizarding school. However, during the summer, he has to stay with his malicious Muggle (or nonmagical) aunt and uncle, along with their bratty spoiled extremely fat son, Dudley.
Sadly for Harry, it is summer again as Uncle Vermin drove him towards their house. Harry had just thought what happened. His best friend, Hermione had just kissed him on the cheek. He had a brief fancy that there could have been something going on, but he shook his head and chuckled. We are nothing more than friends he thought.
Harry's aunt and uncle were very scared of Harry's magical abilities, even though he isn't allowed to use them during the summer (he already got into trouble for using magic in the summer), so they treated Harry nicer than before they found out Harry was a wizard. But that isn't saying much.
They only fed Harry as much as he needed, and fed all the good food to the every growing pig of Dudley.
That night, after dinner and everything, Harry was exhausted from the whole day of travels and immediately fell asleep.
He found himself floating inside some sort of dungeon and his lighting shaped scar on top of his forehead started throbbing with pain.
He looked down and saw a valiant warrior fighting a demonic like beast. They fought fiercely. The beast tried to spray its hellish flames onto the warrior. He dived under the flames and used all his strength to stab his long heavy sword into the underbelly of the beast. The beast cried out in pain as a flash of white light appeared, the beast was contained in a small yellow jewel.
Harry smiled, for he knew that there was another victory for the Good, but then why is his scar still hurting?
Harry woke up sweating from the dream before. He touched his scar and there still was a slight pain. He wanted to know what was going on—for he just defeated Voldermort days earlier! But soon, the lure of sleep overwhelmed him and he fell into an uneasy sleep.
The next day when Harry woke up, he contemplated on whether to send an owl post (the Wizard way of mailing) to his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly. He knew that Hermione would immediately tell Harry to talk to some Magical official while Ron would be all apprehensive about the situation. It is, after all a lot to take in after seeing the Dark Lord Voldermort killing one of Harry's fellow classmates and having to fight the Dark Lord himself.
It is, actually, Voldermort who gave the lighting scar on Harry's forehead when he was a little child.
Harry decided to tell his best friends, after all, they are his best friends, or perhaps sadly his only friends. So he wrote:
Dear Hermione,
Hey, how's your summer coming along. I know its only the first day, but listen, I've been having nightmares again, you think we can get together with Ron and talk about this? My scar is also starting to hurt for some reason… I'm worried.
Your friend,
Harry.
He also wrote a similar letter to his friend Ron. He gave the letters to his pet owl, Hedwig to deliver them to his friends.
As Harry was waiting for his friends' reply, he decided to start up his summer homework assignment from Hogwarts (the wizarding school Harry goes to).
A few hours later, Hedwig arrived with two letters one from Hermione and one from Ron:
Harry,
Oh my Merlin! What is wrong? You think You-Know-Who is attacking the Magical community again? I really need to talk to you, but my family is leaving for Romania to visit my brother for the summer, sorry you can't come to the Burrow this summer. Well, talk to Hermione, she's smart, I'm sure she'll know what to do.
Ron
Dear Harry,
Should we tell Dumbledore? I mean that sounds pretty serious, especially when you just defeated You-Know-Who. Well here's the good news, my mother said that because I worked so hard in school, she said I could invite a friend over to stay for the summer! I know Ron is going to Romania so why don't you come? Owl me so we can pick you up!
Love,
Hermione
Well, there was some relief for Harry, and perhaps some joy. At least he didn't have to spend and summer of torture with his aunt and uncle. So he messaged Hermione to tell her to pick him up as soon as possible.
