A/N: I know that I have a LOT of other stories and other things on the go but I came across Prince of Stride and I just couldn't resist when I saw the black cat they had! As only episodes 1 to 4 is out of the anime at the moment the character's won't be spot on and all but hey! This is going to be a VERY rare fic for me where it is not for a challenge! Hahaha go me! Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that this story might be the first HP/PoSA in the crossover section.
Chapter 1
Emotions bubbled up inside of Dudley as he stood in front of the open iron gates staring at what would be his new school. Honan School. His heart pounded in his chest as the thoughts and ideas about a new start and new chances washed over him. With excitement and hope lit inside of him Dudley turned and shot his nervous looking cousin an excited grin.
"This is going to be it Harry," Dudley announced as he gave Harry a kind smile. "We managed to get this far together, we managed to get though your magical creature inheritance and now here we are in Japan. Far away from your war, our pasts and any pain that there might be. Are you ready for this new start?"
"I-I am, hopefully things will be better this time," Harry replied with a shy smile as he ran a hand though his long shoulder length black hair, making sure that his glamour was still in place. "Do you really think we can get away with this? W-What about your parents?"
"What they do not know will not hurt them, besides they will just see it as me showing how much of a great leader and boss I am," Dudley replied with a grin only to pause as the sound of loud familiar voices reached his ears. "Careful, here comes mum and dad. It seems that they have found someone to show us around. Remember what I said back in England about any possible lies they might try to spin."
Gulping nervously Harry nodded his head and lowered his gaze to the floor. As he did so sharp emerald green eyes missed the flash of green hair and worried eyes from behind glasses as the owner bolted pass. Instead Harry gathered himself together and did his best to ignore the whispers and pointed words that he knew just had to be aimed at him.
"The promotion I got has really been a big deal for us! We got to move all the way from England to Japan and with it a new home and more money!" the familiar sound of Vernon Dursley's loud boasting voice filled the air and flowed into Harry's sensitive ears allowing the war veteran to brace himself for what he knew was about to happen. "We got a good tour of the school a few days ago but I want to make sure that my son joins a club that is worthy of him and his skills!"
"Wonder if they will let me take a look at the Stride club I saw on the internet the other day," Dudley said softly, knowing that his cousin would be able to pick it up thanks to his none human hearing. "I know it would be a lot of work but all the running and training for boxing that I have done must of put me in with a good chance..."
At Dudley's mention of the video excitement filled Harry. His eyes sparkled brightly as he allowed his mind to wander over the possible feelings that the two Striders in the video must of been feeling. A sense of freedom, the feeling of wind in their hair, the achievement of managing to get to the point they were at, and in Harry's mind the best part of it all...they looked almost as if they were flying.
"And this here is my son, Dudley Dursley!" Vernon said proudly in heavily accented Japanese as he walked past Harry, not caring at all if the young magical creature was there or not, and towards his son with a proud grin on his pudgy face. "Dudley, I want you to meet Mr. Dan, he is going to be the one showing us all the clubs. Apparently today is the day that everyone has to pick their clubs and experience them!"
"Your father is correct Dursley," Dan-Sensei said as he shot Dudley one of his normal, serious looks only to glance behind Dudley at Harry before allowing his gaze to return to Dudley. "While you have missed the opening ceremony due to your move from England to Japan you have managed to make it here in time to take part with your fellow students in the choosing of the clubs. Is there any type of club that you are interested in joining above others?"
'This is it. It all lies with what is said next...it all depends on Dudley managing to answer the teacher before Uncle Vernon does' Harry thought nervously while wishing he could drop his glamour to allow his creature out in an attempt to calm himself. 'Please let Dudley be able to get his point across first."
"I saw the video online the other day about this Stride sport you have going in Japan," Dudley said quickly while doing his best to ignore the rainbow of colours and emotions that he knew would be going over his father's face. "I heard that it was a good sport to develop leadership skills for later in life and that sort of thing Sensei. Would it be possible to see that club first?"
"You are correct Dursley and with your build I would have to say that you are made for defence with a few tricks and skills thrown in with a bit of training," Dan-Sensei said as he quickly scanned over Dudley's body. His black eyes flashed curiously towards the still ever silent, statue like Harry before turning to Petunia and Vernon. "You should be proud of your son, from the many other students who have asked me about the Stride club it sounds like he is at least taking it seriously. If everything goes alright your son could very well be one of the stronger members on the team."
'This is it, the moment of truth' Harry thought as his hands curled up into fists, tension and worry flooded his body as he waited for Vernon's and Petunia's reply. Sweat poured off of him and his heart pounded in his ears, whatever Vernon's answer was Harry just knew that it would go towards a large step in sealing his fate in Japan.
Dan-Sensei gave a mental sigh as he allowed his eyes to wander over the school's front entrance grounds in search of a certain pair of students. 'Something is not right here. In all of my years as a teacher I have always been able to sniff out problems and now I find one yelling at me in the face. It must have something to do with their nephew. I wonder...could he be part of my group which is why his aunt and uncle seem to hate him? Well I will find out soon enough.'
"Fine, I will allow my son to give this Stride thingie a go but if I say he has to quit the club then he will!" Vernon threatened, unknowingly giving both his son and nephew piece of mind. "And if Dudley is joining then so is my nephew as my son's own personal assistant. Got that boy?"
"Yes uncle Vernon," Harry replied quickly and in the submissive tone that he knew would please his uncle and aunt.
"As both boys will be taking part in the Stride club they will possibly be gone the whole day, your nephew will be gone from dawn to dusk based on the information we have received from his previous school," Dan-Sensei said as he gave the two elder Dursley's a pointed look only to glance over Petunia's bony shoulder. "Ah! Sakurai, Fujiwara, I heard from Hasekura that you are both looking for new members for the Stride club. I have two new members for you here...what are you doing to Yagami?"
As one the Dursley's and Harry turned around to face the three students that Dan-Sensei had just spoken to only to find themselves faced with a nervous but kind looking female a few paces behind a long sandy blond haired, red eyed male who was being dragged along by the wrist by a short black haired, blue eyed glasses wearing male.
"Really? That is good news Sensei, now we have more than enough members for the club," the girl said with a nervous smile to her Sensei, leaving both male teen's frozen in place, before turning her attention to Dudley and Harry. "Hello, my name is Sakurai Nana and I am the manager and relationer. It is nice to meet you both. Welcome to the club!"
