Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter or Ranma ½ unfortunately, but I do own this plot so that's a start right?

"Harry I think you are going to need protection this year." Dumbledore sighed looking over his half moon spectacles at a small, emerald green eyed, lanky, raven haired boy.

"May I ask what you mean by 'protection'?" Harry glanced up at the aging old man feeling guilty for the trouble he had caused this year. All he saw when he looked into the headmaster's eyes was dull haze that replaced the once infamous twinkle.

"You need people to guard you and I think I can provide that if I pull some strings." Standing up Dumbledore went and patted Faukes gently on the head staring into the distance as if he could see something no one else could.

"Is that necessary sir?" Harry was always getting into trouble with dark forces, but he always got out of it some how. He didn't need to be watched over like a baby that had just discovered pointy objects.

"I am afraid so Harry it seems that Voldemort is back and he will most likely be coming after you."

"Alright who will it be? Do I know them?"

"No and I think it is best that you don't know them or tell anyone about this. Although I am fairly certain that Miss Granger and Mr. Weasly will find out either way so you may inform them." Dumbledore turned to Harry and gave a tired smile then wished him luck for the summer.

----------------------

This wasn't right how could Dumbledore not trust him? Sure he had done stupid things in the past 1, but hiring secret body guards? Isn't that a bit extreme?

Harry kicked a stone as he wandered the park aimlessly. It didn't surprise him that no one was there it was midnight 2 and in town it was practically a sin to go out after 10 pm.

"Who wants to believe the Harry Potter can keep himself out of trouble?" He shouted at no one in particular. "It's not like I ask for it to happen to me 3." Harry glanced at his watch again and sighed heavily slumping down into a bench.

Five....four....three......two...one....that was uneventful as usual, but what was l expecting everyone to jump out of the bushes and wish me a happy birthday? No way especially after the way I acted last year towards everyone. I endangered students other than Ron, Hermione, and me. I also lost Sirius because of my stupidity and all because I didn't want to listen to Snape. Oh no the famous Harry Potter is to good for precaution and lessons. Well here it goes I guess now that I'm sixteen I should start a new leaf with the motto of 'Keep my nose out of other people's damned business.'

Harry got up and slowly trudged back to the Dursley's house not expecting what he found there, not expecting the Dursley's to be worried about him, or even them wanting to wish him a happy birthday, but like on a lot of occasions Harry was wrong. For the moment he reached their doorstep getting ready to get back in the house the door was slammed open and he was dragged in by a pair of powerful hands.

"Where were you boy?" Vernon whispered afraid of waking the neighbors and ruining their spotless reputation 4.

"Yes where were you we were worried about your safety." Harry's aunt pestered actually adjusting Harry's shirt in an attempt to make him look better.

"We wanted to wish you a happy birthday, but your butt wasn't in your bed." Dudley smiled at Harry sincerely. All of this attention was unnerving Harry greatly it made him feel like there was something wrong with it all. Gazing around at the Dursley's faces Harry couldn't help, but relax and gasp in awe. They looked so concerned and actually happy about Harry being here. This was the first time he felt welcome truly at this house and he loved it so much.

"Wait a minute old man we are going where with who?" A red headed girl with a pigtail and Chinese clothes started shaking a panda 5. The panda held up a sign saying 'Be kind to the animals! Especially Pandas we are endangered'

"Oh you'll be endangered al right if you don't give me answer right now"

"Please this won't get you anywhere fast Ranma" A girl with short almost bowl cut hair grabbed a sign out of the panda's hand while it was writing another comment.

"Stay out of this Akane" Ranma grabbed the sign and read 'You are no son of mi'

"All I'm trying to say is that this would go a lot faster if we had some hot water" Akane sighed balancing a tea kettle in one hand.

"Of course I can beat him senseless if I'm a guy much faster" Ranma started grabbing at the kettle to get hit in the head by Akane.

"For your dad baka 5! He could tell us a lot faster if he wasn't a panda!6"

"umm...right my dad that's what I was thinking of too. I was just joking with ya." Ranma rubbed the back of her head. "Guess I forgot about that detail.

"You are no son of mine Ranma!" A sudden out burst from a bald man wearing training garb and glasses yelled.

"What do you mean pop?"

"Forgetting that you own father is in fact a human? For shame, but anyway I received this letter from England instructing us to go there and while a teach you and your friends must guard a boy" Genma produced a letter from one of his pockets.

"So who exactly is going with us?"

"It would be a simple matter of finding them all" Genma nodded his head thoughtfully not paying attention to Ranma.

"I said who is going with us?!" Ranma screamed in her father's ear while Akane snatched the letter away.

"Well according to this it is You, your dad, Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, Ukyo, and....."

"And who Akane?" Ranma tilted her head while holding her father over the pond.

"Me"

"What?! Not only do I have to put up with those weirdoes and pop you are going too?" Ranma dropped Genma in her surprise promptly turning him into a panda.

"That's what it says and we have to go to England to pick up our supplies soon her are our air plane tickets." Akane held up seven tickets to Ranma.

"Well we better get started finding Ryoga alone could take a week"

A/N-

This is my second fic so I hope it is good as my other one or at least as good as everyone says my other fic is (Copyright Infringement). This one is a tad more serious I guess with out a punch line every other line and the only cross dressing will be done by the professionals (Ranma!)

Well you have to read the other books, but being the nice author I am here are a few. He confronted Voldemort in his first year, fought a giant snake (don't want to use that name because that's not the right animal), went after a deranged criminal who he thought was after him, dueled Lord Voldemort after helping resurrect him, and then he brought school children to the ministry of magic to fight Voldemort again.

I thought I had him saying he wasn't going to do anything stupid and yet he is wandering a park at midnight? Hasn't he heard of kidnappers?

From what I have read J.K. Rowling says different and Harry does kinda ask for it. Trying to save people only losing more in return.

I think it is already ruined unless their rep is being annoying pricks that have an unruly son and are abusive towards their nephew.

Baka- it means idiot stupid etc.

If you don't already know the people from Ranma ½ suffer from a curse in which they turn into different things when splashed with cold water.

Also all of my stories will be updated at later times because I have a lot of school work and have been getting writers block every other day.
