Hello, readers. Welcome to my first Harry Potter fanfic, and I know that you're very familiar with this book and movies, and though I've seen the first five movies, I haven't read the books since I mostly rely on the movies (by Warner Brothers) and on wikipedia. So I expect that I might get some flak on making my first attempt to do this fic, but then I'm willing to take the risks.
While I do follow the book and movie's timeline, I'll be doing a semi-AU and canon as I'm going to do a crossover with another franchise which I'm almost sure you're not familiar with. Heavily inspired from the movie "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone", I'm going to combine the elements of Harry Potter and a well-known series from Japan: Kamen Rider Black.
A thought hit me as I was recovering from a sickness: what if the east meets the west? What if the "boy who lived" meets Japan's hero? That very thought tempted me to try this out so here it is. This fic is set sometime within "Harry Potter And the Chamber Of Secrets" and two years after Kamen Rider Black. Again this fic is semi-AU, so expect some changes here in order to accommodate the fic's plot

Tokyo Japan. It has been two years since the fall of the secret cult organization, Gorgom, and 21-year old Kotaro Minami has moved on though a little slow as he still felt a bit sad over the death of his stepbrother, Nobuhiko Akizuki. He vowed to save him from Gorgom's hands yet Nobuhiko eventually submitted to the cult's brainwashing and emerged as a cyborg dubbed Shadow Moon. The battle was emotionally taxing as his attempts to snap his stepbrother out of the programming fell on deaf ears, and Kotaro, as Kamen Rider Black, was forced to deal the death blow using the Satan Saber on him, and then finally meeting with the actual threat – the Century King.
His attempts to defeat the Century King wasn't an easy feat, as both of his vehicles, Battle Hopper and Road Sector were wrecked though he was able to defeat it in the end and peace was finally restored, though the battle left without a cost, as Kotaro's friends left Japan a few months later to move on, and alone again, he had to make a fresh start to move on with his own life, beginning with placing a flower at the remains of the cave where Gorgom resided, then threw the Satan Saber at the bottom of the sea, ensuring that the dangerous weapon won't fall in the wrong hands, then passing by the café he frequented, only to recall that Nobuhiko's younger sister, Kyoko, and friend Katsumi Kida, have left months after Shadow Moon's arrival. Since then he was constantly doing odd jobs to earn money to stay at a boarding house in order to spend every night, and has so far doing well.
"Nobuhiko…I'm sorry I had to leave you at the cave that exploded…but I guess its for the best as you get to rest peacefully and your body won't be found and manipulated…I'm sure you get to join dad now…and your sister is doing fine…though I'm sure she'll come to terms of your passing…"
Though his luck would soon change as he was met by a woman named Reiko Shiratori, a photographer, and her family runs a helicopter business call ed the Sahara airlines. Seeing Kotaro and learning of his background (not including Kotaro's secret identity), they took him in and made him part of their family and Kotaro was grateful, as he now has a reason to move on with his life.
Within the next few months, Kotaro won through a raffle a free trip to London, England, where he gets to go around a tour all over the United Kingdom, for a month. Though he was quite sad that he gets to take the trip alone, Reiko told Kotaro to take advantage of the trip and that he deserves a break after his hard work. And so he prepared his things so he can get ready to head for the airport.

At the Dursley residence in Number 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging in Surrey, England, Harry Potter was being locked in his room by his uncle Vernon after causing his son's birthday cake to spiral out of control, done by the elf Dobby. The Weasley siblings, Ron, Fred and George, arrived in their family car and rescued Harry, taking him with them at the Burrows. From there Ginny was ready to be taken with the Weasley brothers and Harry to the train station as she gets to spend her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Within the next day, Kotaro arrived at London, and is ready to take his first step in spending his month-long vacation, by taking the first trip to King's Cross, where a tourist attraction spot is listed in his itinerary, looking forward to the place which he hoped would heal him mentally of the emotional scars he received two years ago.
"My itinerary says that there's a luscious tourist spot attraction in Central London…I hope it would help me make this trip an experience I won't forget…I wish Reiko were here…sh would love to take photographs of this place…"
Among the tourists spot within the vicinity of King's Cross are the British Library and the Big Ben. Although he wanted to rent a motorcycle, he opted to take the taxi and asked the driver to take him to King's Cross Station. Traffic at the road is moderate and the 21-year old man wasn't bothered by the rather slow pacing of the cars moving. The driver then decided to chat with Kotaro to help ease his passenger's anxiousness as well as killiung time until traffic flow is improved.
"Say…are you from Japan?"
"Yes…how did you know?"
"I do get Asian passengers riding my cab, but thanks to my experience…I can discern who is Japanese…Korean…Philippines…China…say…did you know that japan got into a crisis of sorts two years ago…?"
"Which is…?"
Kotaro feigned innocence, as he started to guess that Shadow Moon and Gorgom's reign of terror has reached the eyewitnesses of foreigners, and hoped that the driver won't make a big deal of it.
"Some nutcase in a silver armor began doing some terroristic troubles…he even got hooded idiots to cause panic. I say Asian hoodlums are getting desperate for attention but I don't buy that milady…the amateur footages of a guy in a black armor looking like a grasshopper beating the silver-armored guy don't look realistic to me…sorry, I guess you think I'm trying to brand you Japanese as stereotyped con-artists or something…"
"No…not at all…I was overseas at that time…"
By then the traffic flow has improved and the friendly chat was cut short and the taxi moved, both looking forward to their trip towards King's Cross. The scene shifts to the overview of the road in Central London which was very much like Tokyo, Japan…clean roads, eco-friendly and pretty much peaceful, except that the cab stopped as the driver and Kotaro witnessed a mugging of a young teenager at the hands of some British punks, and Kotaro got out ofd the car to help the hapless teen, beating them with ease and disarming them before the punks fled, and helped the teen to get his bearings back. After that Kotaro boarded back to the taxi and left as minutes later the muggers are caught by British police.

At King's Cross station, Kotaro finally arrived at the station and is getting ready to buy his ticket from the ticket seller and is lined up in a rather long queue which was quite slow-paced due to the number of persons buying their ticket. He wasn't bothered by this and patiently awaits for his turn, knowing nothing wrong would happen today.
Elsewhere, Harry and the Weasley siblings, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny also arrived at the King's Cross station, getting ready to head for Platform 9 ¾ en route to the Hogwarts Express. The Weasley patriarch, Molly gives her youngest child, Ginny, advices on what to do at Hogwarts school once she arrived, and hoped that Ginny gets drafted to Griffindor. And when they arrived at the said platform the four Muggle-born students went one by one at the barrier and are now at the Hogwarts Express, and are now about to board the train.
Harry: "I hope our second year at Hogwarts would go fine…meeting with "You-Know-Who" again is the last thing I want to expect…"
Ron: "You won't…remember…Quirinus Quirrell was killed when he touched you, and without a body to inhabit, "You-Know-Who" had to leave and he won't bother us again…"
Fred and George eagerly agreed, and both gave Harry a pair of prank items which seem to lift his spirits and withion several minutes the Hogwarts Express leaves for Hogwarts, all of the Hogwarts students, old and new, from four houses, are on board, looking forward to an exciting second year in their school.

Meanwhile, Kotaro got his ticket and is navigating his way through hallways of the station when a British man passed by him, his bag was quite opened where a dust seemingly got out and struck Kotaro in his eyes, temporarily blinding him and disorienting him which caused him to accidentally went through another barrier where Muggles and non-Muggles normally went as some work at the Wizarding World, and by the time Kotaro got his bearings back, he was unaware that he entered another area, and since this area resembles the normal version of the station, he didn't feel troubled and boarded a train which he thinks will take him to the East coast.
As he settled his luggage, the ticket collector went to collect his ticket, but was distracted by another passenger, and he did not bother to check Kotaro's ticket thoroughly and just checked it and returned it to the passenger. Kotaro leans back at his seat as the train went still for another five minutes before it moved, and soon the train is cruising towards the Wizarding World, the unsuspecting Kotaro having no idea that he boarded the wrong train by accident and is heading to a different world, not knowing the adventure…and danger…awaiting him.
To Be Continued…
My first Harry Potter fic…and my first attempt. I know this might turn off fans of the books but I'm willing to accept any feedbacks, so let me know , via reviews, what you think. I know it might sound out of this world that a British wizard student meeting Japanese Tokusatu's hero of the late 1980's meeting together, but that's what a fanfic is about…and thus, experiment.
Preview:
Kotaro's first tour in the Wizarding world, and Harry and friends went to Diagon Alley to buy supplies, until a Death Eater attacks threatens our boy hero until Kotaro jumps in to make the save, and Kamen Rider Black makes his debut in the Wizarding World.
