This is my first try at a crossover between Harry Potter and Bleach. The story will be in a first person POV from either one of the taicho that are going to Hogwarts. One of the taicho is an OC (Yuriko) while the other is Hitsugaya Toshiro. I will alternate the POV between Yuriko and Toshiro with each chapter.

This first chapter is from Yuriko's POV (so the next will be from Toshiro's POV)

I've used the terms of the Japanese version of Bleach so I'll put a small wordlist here for anyone who might be watching or reading the English anime/manga:

Taicho: Captain
Fukutaicho: Lieutenant
Sotaicho: Leader of the shinigami
Haori: white overcoat that the taicho wear
Zanpakuto: Soul reaper
Shinigami: Death god
Kido: The magic the shinigami use (Hado: way of destruction. Bakudo: way of binding)
Kyuban tai: ninth division

That's about it. Hope you'll enjoy it and please review (no flames! A review should be some sort of feedback that can be used to improve the story and flames are only meant to hurt!)

And (and I can't stress this enough) DON'T LIKE, DON'T READ!

Disclaimer (for this chapter and any chapter that comes after this one until the story is finished!): I don't own Bleach OR Harry Potter (sad but true)

Yuriko POV

'Come back here!' one of the shinigami from the third division yelled as he and two others were trying to catch up with me. I barked out one hard laugh before putting on one more burst of speed which left the third division men far behind me.

I used shunpo to get back to my family's home quickly, hoping my brother wouldn't be home yet. I took off my shoes at the entrance and tiptoed towards my room. 'Yuriko!' I stood still in an instant, not daring to look behind me. I could already feel my brother's reiatsu rising with his anger. 'Yuriko… where did you go? And why do you have a haori from the third division taicho over your own haori?' I turned around slowly with a bit of a goofy grin on my face. 'Aniki, how are you doing today?' I asked innocently. I was met with a really uncomfortable silence and even more reiatsu from my brother.

I let my grin slip and stood up straight in front of my brother. 'I just had a bet with Renji… that's all…' I trailed off at the end, knowing by the look in my brother's eyes that I had said the wrong thing. 'I see,' he said in a low voice before calling a Hell Butterfly to him. A second later it flew away and my brother motioned to my room. 'Go to your room and wait until I call you,' he said. I nodded and went without a discussion; I always lost that fight. 'And the third division haori if you please.' I huffed and pulled the haori off so that my own was once again visible. My brother took it from me and walked away while shaking his head.

My room was the way I had left it; with a lot of paperwork that I still had to do on my low desk. It was, of course, a privilege to have what I do at my age. I was only a hundred and fifty one years old and had the appearance of an eleven year old. This hadn't held me back though and I had entered the gotei 13. I wasn't the only young one though. A boy by the name of Hitsugaya Toshiro had the same. The only difference between him and me was that I am of noble decent and he isn't.

You see, I am a daughter of the Kuchiki family of which my brother, Byakuya, is the head. My brother is also the head of the sixth division within the gotei 13. Toshiro and I were both really strong and smart and when two positions became vacant in the gotei 13 we took the tests and became taicho. Toshiro is the taicho of the tenth division and I of division nine. Of course there are a lot of good things about being a taicho such as getting respect and a lot of subordinates who do things for you. The down side is… well… the paperwork… I never thought there would be so much paperwork for a taicho.

Toshiro on the other hand didn't really mind doing his paperwork and he had even more than me. His fukutaicho, Matsumoto Rangiku, was kind of lazy and didn't do much with her paperwork which meant Toshiro had to do it most of the time. I was lucky that my fukutaicho, Hisagi Shuhei, actually did his paperwork so I didn't get any extra work. I sighed and sat to work on the pile of papers that were littering my desk; this would at least take the rest of the morning, maybe even a bit of the afternoon.

In the end it didn't take that long. Most of the work just needed filing or signing which meant I was done before the afternoon had started. I went over to my brother to tell him I would go to the ninth division to check on everything there. He waved his hand dismissively to tell me it was alright so I left quickly.

The buildings of my division weren't that far from the Kuchiki house so it took only five minutes to get there. Some of my subordinates were hanging around in front of the barrack gates but snapped to attention the moment they saw me approach. They greeted me properly and with respect and I nodded and smiled at them in acknowledgement. It had taken the others a while to except me as their taicho but no one had a problem with me anymore.

In the beginning they had all taunted me and treated me like a child. They did have respect since I'm from the Kuchiki family but that was it. They listened to my fukutaicho more than to me in those first few years. My fukutaicho hadn't been the same one I had now. Hisagi had been my third seat and Tosen Gin had been my fukutaicho. I had only been a taicho for a month before I had gone to the sotaicho to tell him that I didn't trust Tosen. The sotaicho hadn't listened at that point but he had found out I was right years later. Tosen had, together with Ichimaru Gin from the third division, followed Aizen Sosuke taicho from the fifth division to Hueco Mundo and they had almost destroyed Soul Society.

I got the respect from my squad a year after I had become their taicho. The ninth division got a difficult mission and I decided to lead it myself. I went to the real world with my third seat Hisagi and eight others. The moment we arrived in the real world four menos had appeared and after a few minutes of fighting only Hisagi and me were still standing. We had both come to the same conclusion by then; these menos were not like normal ones. I was young and inexperienced in leading my subordinates in this sort of thing but I couldn't let them die. I had told Hisagi to put up a kido barrier and stay behind it until I was done.

Hisagi had started protesting at first but stopped when he saw the determination in my eyes. The moment he had used his shunpo to get to the others I had released my bankai. My reiatsu alone pushed the menos back which made me smile grimly. My zanpakuto is a water based zanpakuto which means I can literally drown my opponents if I would want to. With these menos I chose the faster way to handle it. I had to use most of my strength and one of my strongest attacks to destroy the menos after which my bankai disappeared and I dropped out of the sky; my energy completely depleted. Hisagi saw what was happening and caught me before I could hit the ground.

I spend a few days healing with division four, which is known for their healing skills, before I went back to my own division. When I came to the doors then, the people standing outside snapped to attention and greeted me with 'good morning, Kuchiki taicho!' I was really taken aback by this but was pleased all together. When I came to my office Hisagi and Tosen had been standing there and had both apologised to me for their, and the rest of the division's, behaviour. Of course later, we had all found out that the strange, stronger menos had come from Aizen. Hisagi had been affected greatly by Tosen's betrayal because he really looked up to him. When I made him my fukutaicho he resisted at first but soon adapted to the position and I could honestly say I was proud to have him as my second in command.

I arrived at my office after checking up on everything and was met by a strong but familiar reiatsu. A smile spread across my face and I ran the last few feet towards my door. I opened my door to be met by a small, white haired boy who was smiling from ear to ear. 'Toshiro!' I squealed before running towards him and giving him a big hug. He hugged me back quickly before I backed up a bit to take a look at him. He had been on a mission in Soul Society and I hadn't seen him in two months. For some people this wouldn't seem that bad but for us it was like missing a piece in our lives.

We had been close friends for almost our entire lives here in Soul Society and we had a connection, you could say we were joined at the hip. We were both looked at weirdly because of our status, age and appearance. Toshiro had snow white hair and teal coloured eyes while I had blood red hair, with sea blue strands in it and violet eyes. People had looked weirdly at us and we had both felt like outcasts, even though I'm from a noble family, until we met each other. We had instantly bonded and had been inseparable even since. Even our Zanpakuto were in sync with each other. My zanpakuto was a water type one and Toshiro had an ice type zanpakuto. We also shared some sort of a connection which told us when the other was in trouble, sort of a psychic thing. Toshiro had felt this the moment I had faced the four extremely strong menos and had arrived a second after Hisagi had caught me. He had been cursing the senkai gate the entire time I was healing; fuming that it was a slow way to go anywhere.

'How was your mission?' I asked while sitting down in my chair. Toshiro shrugged, 'Nothing special, just the usual uproar and hollow breakout.' I nodded in understanding. Sometimes hollow just broke in on the weak sides of Soul Society and when too many came one of the taicho had to clean it up. 'So what have you been up to?' Toshiro asked in return. 'Nothing much… the usual. I did have a bet with Renji today but my brother caught me…' I started to grumble at the end. Toshiro smirked at me 'What was your bet about?' he asked but before I could answer a fukutaicho level reiatsu approached us. 'I think you'll find out now,' I smirked.

Toshiro nodded and went to stand beside my chair. My door opened a second later to reveal Abarai Renji, who wasn't looking too pleased. 'You set me up!' he yelled. Toshiro cleared his throat then and Renji's eyes swerved to him. 'Ah… Hitsugaya taicho… I didn't mean… I mean…' Renji began stuttering while his face flushed red. 'Abarai, I think it is quite rude of you to address a taicho in such a way,' my best friend said with a stern face. The fukutaicho from division six turned as red as his hair now and stopped talking all together, preferring to watch his feet.

I couldn't help but laugh at this which seemed to relax Renji a bit. The red head had known me for a long time and we were never formal with each other. He had been kind of lost when I became a taicho on top of already being royalty but I had told him that nothing had changed between us. 'Now Renji, why do you think I set you up?' I asked innocently. 'With the bet! You involved Kuchiki taicho in it!' Renji's face turned, if possible, even redder when he said this. I shook my head, 'I didn't involve my brother; he caught me so I told him the truth about our bet.' 'Well… I got in trouble for it,' Renji huffed.

'What did you guys do?' Toshiro asked curiously, looking from me to Renji and back again. 'Renji bet me that I wouldn't be able to borrow the third division's taicho haori,' I explained. The room turned colder immediately as Toshiro released a bit of his reiatsu in shock. 'You did what?' he spluttered. 'I took the haori and made it all the way back to the Kuchiki home,' I shrugged. Toshiro shook his head, 'Yuriko, you are a taicho… you should act more responsible by now.' 'I am responsible but I can still have some fun every now and then, can't I?' Toshiro looked like he wanted to say more but Renji intervened. 'Excuse me but if I may be so free, you both act like the kids you are every now and then.'

This was the worst thing he could have said. With a quick glance to Toshiro I got up and faced Renji. 'Bakudo no ichi, Sai!' Renji's arms shot behind him as if a magnetic force had pulled them there. He tried to break free but wasn't able to do so; my kido was too strong for him to break. I smirked at the red head before walking to the sliding door, opening it and stepping aside. Toshiro went to stand on the right side of Renji, 'You really shouldn't have said that, Abarai. Hado no ichi, Sho!' Renji let out a scream as the kido hit him and send him flying out of the office and over the walls surrounding the ninth division buildings. We listened carefully and heard him land a few seconds later with a small thud.

We both burst into laughter then, but stopped again quickly as Hisagi entered my office. 'Taicho, this message was just delivered for you,' he said, handing me an envelope. He bowed to me and went to stand near the door. 'Thank you, Hisagi,' I said before turning to the letter in my hand. Toshiro came to stand behind me and read it with me over my shoulder.

kyuban tai taicho, Kuchiki Yuriko.

Please come to the first division building at once. A mission will be explained to you there.

Ichiban tai sotaicho,

Yamamoto genryusai Shigekuni.

I sighed and put the note in my pocket. 'Guess I'll be going now… see you later Shiro-kun.' Toshiro nodded but stopped when a Hell Butterfly flew into my office towards him. He stretched his hand out and the butterfly landed on it. We were both quiet for a second until the little creature flew away again. I looked at him questioningly and he gave me a small smile. 'That was a message from Matsumoto telling me that she had opened my mail', he ground his teeth when he said that, 'and that it said the same as your letter. Guess I'll be going with you to sotaicho-dono,' he said.

I nodded and turned to my fukutaicho who was still standing at the door. 'Hisagi, Hitsugaya taicho and I are going to see sotaicho-dono. I will be back later but please make sure that everything is done as it should while I'm away.' Hisagi nodded, bowed and ran off to give orders to the other squad members. Toshiro and I both stepped into the garden next to my office. I closed the sliding door after which we both used shunpo to get to the first division building as fast as possible.

'Taicho!' A shrill woman's voice shouted as we landed in front of the first division doors. We turned around to see a woman with golden blond hair and a pink sash around her shoulders running towards us. While she was running a few shinigami who were standing a bit to the side whistled at her but she ignored them. 'Taicho! We just got back from a mission and I'm tired and I really don't want to go on another mission and…' Matsumoto began rambling the moment she was standing in front of us. I could see Toshiro starting to get irritated by his fukutaicho and as if on cue the temperature began to drop.

Matsumoto seemed to notice this and quickly stopped talking. It was then that she noticed me, 'Ah, Kuchiki taicho. I am so sorry I didn't greet you earlier,' she said, making a short bow. I nodded back but didn't say anything. 'Matsumoto, the letter didn't say anything about you going on a mission did it?' Toshiro asked his fukutaicho. Matsumoto seemed to think about this for a second before a silly grin spread across her face and she shook her head. 'Now that you mention it taicho… it didn't.' Toshiro shook his head and dismissed his fukutaicho with a wave of his hand, 'I'll see you back at the division Matsumoto and in the mean time you can do your paperwork.' Matsumoto scowled at the last bit but otherwise remained silent as she bowed and used shunpo to get back to the tenth division buildings.

'You don't honestly believe she is going to do her paper work, do you?' I asked. Toshiro shrugged but didn't answer and instead knocked on the first division door. 'You know I sometimes wish I could read Matsumoto's mind so that I could check on what she is really doing,' Toshiro grumbled. Two shinigami from the first division opened the doors then which put a stop to Toshiro's grumbling. The two shinigami bowed to us and let us walk through. I couldn't help myself and looked back to see the two shinigami looking at Toshiro and me with a look of envy on their faces.

'See anything good?' Toshiro asked without looking at me. I shook my head, 'same as always when others look at us; jealous stares,' I explained. Toshiro nodded as we proceeded down the long hallway towards the meeting room. Two more shinigami opened the doors to the meeting room for us when we got there. They both bowed and motioned for us to walk through. The room was empty except for a chair in the back where sotaicho-dono was sitting. Standing behind him was his fukutaicho, Sasakibe Chojiro. Toshiro and I both waited while the door closed behind us. Yamamoto sotaicho discussed something with Sasakibe before he motioned for us to come closer.

Toshiro and I both stopped at a respectable distance and bowed from the waist to show our respect. We then stood still in front of our leader and waited for the old man to give us the information about our new mission. Yamamoto coughed once before he motioned to Sasakibe to hand him something. Sasakibe pulled two heavy looking envelopes from his uniform and handed them to Yamamoto. The old man held the envelopes but didn't open them. Instead he looked at Toshiro and me with an intense stare as if wanting to look through us. I was starting to feel uncomfortable and could see that Toshiro wasn't feeling much better when Yamamoto cleared his throat. 'I have an important but long mission for the both of you,' he said with a grave voice. 'It seems that a problem we thought had been dealt with has returned. An old foe we thought was dead is gaining power and we believe his goal is to once again rule and spread fear.' Toshiro and I both nodded but didn't say anything although I had the feeling I knew what Yamamoto sotaicho was talking about.

'I think you might know who I am talking about, no?' Yamamoto asked. I nodded but it was Toshiro who replied, 'Lord Voldemort.' Yamamoto nodded with a grim look on his face. I could understand why sotaicho-dono was this grim. Voldemort had been a big problem ten years ago. He had ruled what was known as the wizarding-world with his evil followers, but had met his end at the hands of a small boy. Voldemort hadn't been a danger to Soul Society at first but the moment he discovered the existence of hollow he had become a serious threat to both the living world and Soul Society.

'Is he back then, sotaicho-dono?' I asked quietly. I could feel the air around me cool down which meant that Toshiro was tensing up. I let out a bit of my own reiatsu to meld the ice crystals that had grown on Yamamoto's cane. 'No, he isn't back but our resources tell that he is gaining power again,' Yamamoto explained. 'One more thing will happen this year and that will be the main focus of your mission. As you all know it was a small boy by the name of Harry Potter who stopped Voldemort ten years ago', Toshiro and I both nodded, 'and this boy is now the proper age to go to magic school. This however could be quite dangerous with Voldemort around, gaining strength. Also, Harry Potter has a high level of magic which might attract hollow to him. As long as he was with his aunt and uncle he was protected by some magic power but we are not sure whether this will still be so when he goes to school.'

'So our mission would be to watch this Harry Potter until he is a qualified wizard?' I asked. 'Not quiet,' Sotaicho-dono replied. 'You will be watching him but not from above in shinigami form. You two will be watching him as fellow students for the next seven years.' My mouth fell open in shock at this statement. Toshiro and I were to go to the real world and mingle with magical humans for seven years? 'Don't you have to be magical to begin with in order to go to that school?' Toshiro asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. 'Yes and it so happens that the last time you two were in the real world the headmaster of the wizard school picked up your magical signal, apparently it is quite strong. He has sent this letter', Yamamoto sotaicho held up the envelopes he was holding, 'in which he invites you two to his school, Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.'

Yamamoto sotaicho handed us both an envelope and nodded approvingly to tell us it was alright to open them. I was surprised to feel parchment instead of paper under my fingers but decided to ignore that for now. The letters, yes there were multiple letters, were also parchment and the letters on them were written in a curved handwriting with green ink. Before I read the letters I turned the envelope over and was startled by the address written on it and I could hear Toshiro having the same reaction. The letter was for me but the address kind of shocked me.

Miss Yuriko Kuchiki

Karakura, Japan

Urahara store

Front porch

I couldn't believe that these wizards knew about the store or that I had been there. Of course all of us shinigami went there for certain devices and of course for a gigai but I had never imagined that anyone beside shinigami would know. I glanced sideways to Toshiro and saw that his address was the same. He then met my gaze and nodded slightly to indicate that we should read the letters inside the envelope. The first letter was one to welcome us to the school and the second letter was a list of things we had to buy. I stopped at the word "wand" and looked at Yamamoto sotaicho again. 'It says we need a wand… they can't be serious, can they?' I asked tentatively.

One of Yamamoto's rare smiles appeared on his face and he nodded. 'I am afraid so Kuchiki. You will need a wand in order to follow lessons at the school.' I sighed because this would mean I would be trading my zanpakuto, Ryusuika, for a piece of wood! 'Sotaicho-dono, what of the aging problem. If we are to go to that school for seven years people will start to notice that Kuchiki taicho and I don't age,' Toshiro said seriously. 'Please forgive me but I have read your letters when they arrived and have already arranged a special pill that will help you age for seven years, starting on your first school day. You will also get gigai's that will grow as you grow so you don't have to worry about that,' Sotaicho-dono answered.

Toshiro and I looked at each other, asking with our eyes what the other thought of the mission. An understanding was quickly formed between us and I nodded to Toshiro to tell Yamamoto sotaicho. 'We accept this mission and will guard this Harry Potter with our lives.' Yamamoto sotaicho nodded and dismissed us soon after that to go and pack. It was already late in August so we had to hurry and go to London to buy our supplies for our mission and school.

So... that was the first chapter. Please let me know what you think by reviewing this chapter. And once again, no flames please! thanks :)
