Ok so this is going to be a series of one shots. If they inspire any other authors to create their own story, I only ask that you tell me so I can read what you come up with and also if any are interested I will have challenge rules for each if anyone wishes to take the challenge. Message me for the information. Another thing, this has been slightly proofread and not beta'd so please be nice, no flames!
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters or series mentioned in this and all other following chapters. I only own my idea of the crossovers that plague my mind.
The cold Scottish winter seemed to reach an all new level here at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, had just informed them of the event taking place during this school year.
However the explanation seemed almost a bit rushed, possibly to avoid having all the Quidditch, himself included, from rioting in the middle of the Great Hall. Once his announcement had been made he bid everyone rush outside in order to welcome their guests.
Harry looked throughout the sky trying to find the arrivals when suddenly several students gasped. His eyes darted towards the incoming figure in the sky and he saw it. It being the giant, flying carriage being pulled winged horses that was fast approaching.
'Wow pegasi are real!?'he thought to himself, 'But then again I really shouldn't be surprised anymore, considering I killed a behemoth of a Basilisk in the Chamber'
Contrary to what everyone thought Harry was indeed a bit of an adrenaline junkie, it was why he was so into Quidditch and found such a rush whenever he was in an adventure. Though most ended in life or death situations.
More gasps brought Harry from his musing as he saw the students exiting the carriage, only for his mouth to drop a bit. Walking right in front of him was a group of French girls wearing blue silk robes, the cold showing the slightly more daring of the group to the world much to the pleasure of all the males present, even the boys of Beauxbaton.
Speaking of the opposite gender, the boys were also wearing matching silk robes and had many of the girls swooning. Harry turned his head away from the sight only to see a woman that was even bigger than Hagrid, which was a statement in and of itself.
His attention was soon on the girl next to the giant of a woman and she had put all the others to shame. Harry felt the world turn a bit hazy as his eyes met hers before he shook himself lightly to clear his head. He noticed the look of slight shock she had when he did so and nodded his head to her, which the mysterious beauty returned. During this small exchange his red-headed friend Ron Weasley had been drooling on himself making Harry take a step away from him.
Suddenly the wind shifted like that of the sea breeze and Harry immediately turned towards the Black Lake only to see the surface of the lake begin to rumble and bubble. Suddenly a bright green flash shot in the air, a green that Harry was eerily familiar with. After the flash Harry looked back towards the lake surface to see a ship beginning to rise. Water drained off the deck and bow of the ship.
Once it was completely arisen from the murky depths a large ramp, enough for two people to walk side by side down, connected the ship to the shore of the lake. The Durmstrang students then began to disembark, each one wearing large fur coats and hats, except for two people. At the lead of the students was Viktor Krum, whom Harry recognized immediately from the Quidditch World Cup. The clang of the metal staff he and the others students carried eerily on the cold wind as they timed their steps with the sound created by the staves.
Harry's thoughts then turned to the mysterious fourth school that Sirius had given him a heads up on.
FLASHBACK
"Pup come here a second." Harry's dogfather beckoned him to the drawing room that Mrs. Weasley had forbidden everyone else from entering.
"Yeah, Sirius what's up?" Harry asked as he entered into the forbidden room, snickering to himself that he could and no one else could.
"Well pup you seem to know something else is going on soon of than the disaster at the World Cup right?" Sirius mentioned. He continued on slowly, "I wouldn't even be telling you this though if that hadn't happened. Any how, there will be a tournament at school this year and three other magic school have been asked to attend."
"Wha-" The-Boy-Who-Lived began before he was interrupted. " These three schools are easily as a good as Hogwarts when it comes to how well they teach."
"Beauxbaton's students are easily known for their welcoming of a few breed of magical creatures into their school, mostly Veela. Durmstrang on the other hand only allow those of pureblood and half-blood descent into their school, unless the student is ridiculously powerful magically. However both have a looser policy on certain types of spells. While the French are less likely to frown on several more immoral magics,- but Durmstrang actually teaches their students dark spells." Sirius lectured on for a bit before looking at Harry. "I just have a bad feeling that you are going to be thrust into the spotlight again this year, so be careful."
"Uh, Sirius what about the third school?" Curiosity leaked from Harry's hesitant question.
"Honestly it is a school many consider outdated because of what some of the electives are that are being offered at this school, but it is a part of tradition and something the UK has no business saying considering some of the practices we still have. They are one of the last places where a person can learn several lost arts, like Thaumaturgy, Summoning and quite a bit more. Plus they do allow all kinds of magical creatures to learn in their school." Sirius explained while Harry leaned in more interested.
"Woah…" Harry sat in wonder of what their school must be like. "What the name of the school…?"
FLASHBACK END
Harry was snapped out of his flashback when he saw a pair of objects in the sky. He, along with many of the other upper years felt the hair rise on the back of their neck from the amount of pure magic coming from the object. "What is that…" he whispered to himself as the object descended from on high to reveal a giant crystal being carried by ships similar to the one Drumstrang arrived, except there were massive propellers above it like a helicopters but also sail from a sail boat.
Suddenly the crystal began to emit a great light as sounds, somewhat similar to Apparation, filled the air. Once the light began to die down he noticed the first figures that stood proud. The first wore thicker black robes but to Harry's surprise also had small black horns protruding from his head. Shocked but moving on he saw another giant of a woman robed in almost plain leather robes, being a dull green with a massive tome held at her hip. The final person he almost missed until he looked down, way down considering the person was only to about his waist tall at the most, to see a black cowl cover most of his features.
After the shock of these three faded he noticed the student were not uniformed the same or had anything in common look wise. 'Wait did I just see cat ears?' Harry quickly did a double take and find he did indeed see cat ears, as well as more people as short as the one in the cowl and more giant like people. In fact he finally saw what appeared to be a normal human after seeing what could only be described as an elf from Muggle games.
FLASHBACK
"The name of the school is the Magic Academy of Eorzea." Sirius finally revealed after he figured he had let his pup in enough suspense.
Suddenly turning serious , the Dogfather further explained, "Harry these mages will be powerful, they learn what they consider time honored magic that has been at least frowned upon in Britain for some time due to its source and its power. However many of them may be friendly. I heard many student are actually wanderers who perform odd jobs or missions on the side."
FLASHBACK END
All of the students could feel the power rolling off what they assumed were the Headmasters of this mysterious fourth school that was considered a mystery in and of itself.
*TIMESKIP*
Harry along with the other students of all the school sat in rapt attention as the choosing ceremony began. The Goblet of Fire roared even more to life than it had for the last few weeks and out of the fire came a small slip of paper. Dumbledore caught it reading the name aloud, "Fleur Delacour, of Beauxbatons!"
Many cheers and claps could be heard from all around but many females opted for glaring at the alluring beauty. Even the her fellow classmates. 'How odd, you would imagine they would be much more excited'were The-Boy-Who-Lived's thought as he also noticed how the men were all suddenly drooling idiots again. Hermione was also looking at him shocked.
"Yes Hermione?" Harry asked quirking an eyebrow. She responds quickly now realizing she had been starring. "She is a Veela Harry, I was just shocked you weren't like them." She gestured at all the other males, except for a few from each school who seemed immune. Though there seemed to be more immune from the Magic Academy than from the other schools.
Harry was drawn back to the ceremony by the roaring fire again whom Dumbledore immediately announced "Cedric Diggory, of Hogwarts." There were applause everywhere but the Hufflepuff Table had exploded as the boy reddened by being the center of attention but graciously accepted it.
"Vicktor Krum, of Drumstrang!" Dumbledore roared, with the use of the Sonorus Charm, over the wild students only for all of them to explode louder for the famous Quidditch player. Ron had exploded with the rest, odd considering he had been one of the loudest for Fleur. Finally every one calmed down enough for the Headmaster of Hogwarts to read of the final name, with a bare whisper. "Harry Potter, of Eorzea." Harry almost fainted after a loud cuss before he was brought back to the world by Hermione telling him to go where the others went.
