Harry Potter Gathering of Worlds 2

"And so the story continues…"
Shadow: "And so my suffering continues…"
"Oh, I'm done with you."
Shadow: "YES!"
"Link gets to be the object of my attention this year."
Link: "Oh, no… Go back to your other stories, please!"
"Later. Don't worry it won't hurt (in head: 'me') at all."
Link: "Um, OK…"
Shadow: "No, don't be-" (Is gagged by Naruto, my ever helpful assistant.)
"On to the Fic!"
"Could you tell us more of the story today, please?"
"Yeah! I want to know what happens to Harry!"
"Yeah, and Shadow and Sora!"
"Now, now, children, I'll tell you. The story continues a little later…"
There was nothing in Privet Drive that would suggest that anyone in the small neighborhood was strange in any way. The sky was blue, the birds were singing, little kids were playing, and…
A strange boy was walking down the sidewalk.
He wore a green sleeveless tunic that looked like it came from the medieval times. Strapped to his back was a sword and shield. Under it he had white pants and a light green long-sleeved shirt. At the wrists he had strange gold bracelets. A long green cap topped his blond hair. His sapphire eyes were covered along with the rest of his face by a mask. The mask itself was ugly and crudely made of stone. It was the weirdest thing around and it disrupted the very feeling of normalness that Privet Drive usually had, but no one, not even the people the boy past on the street, noticed him.
Almost like he was completely invisible. The boy hummed a peculiar tune to himself as he came up to the house marked Number 4.
"So this is Harry's place." The boy muttered to himself. He looked at the other houses on the street that looked almost exactly like it. There was a window, however, that showed signs of having been replaced in the past. "Would have thought that it would be a little bit more… interesting. Guess that his relatives are just as bad as he said." The boy grinned and strolled up to the door of a family that would likely slam the door in his face. He opened the door easily and walked inside like it was his own house.
He walked up past the fat man going down the stairs, stopping only to say, "Mr. Dursley, I presume."
Vernon did nothing in response.
The child laughed and walked up the stairs. He started to check the doors on the 2nd floor. After a few tries, he found the room he sought. It was poorly furnished, to say the least, and a boy about 16 years old was working on a letter addressed to one 'Sirius Black.' The boy in green walked up to the room's occupant and whispered in his ear.
"Psst, Harry."
'Harry' did nothing. This time the boy spoke in a normal voice in his ear.
"Harry."
Still no response. The child yelled loud enough to awaken anyone in the neighborhood.
"HARRY!"
Harry kept writing, even though the child had yelled extremely loudly in his ear.
The child suddenly seemed to remember something. He removed his mask and simply said in a normal voice, "Harry, it's good to see you again."
Harry jumped out of his chair and turned around to face the intruder and suddenly green lightning swarmed around him.
"Whoa, it's me, Link!" Link said as he jumped back in shock. Harry recognized his friend from his school, Hogwarts. Who couldn't remember the kid-like boy with a flair for forest colors? He was very memorable.
"How'd you get in here?" Harry asked, more amazed than anything.
"I used the Stone Mask. Makes me as plain as a stone. And just like a stone, just about everyone around me overlooks me, even you when I yelled in you ear."
Harry pondered for a little bit. "I don't remember you yelling…"
Link grinned. "You didn't notice. Just like you wouldn't notice a stone."
Harry sighed, then smiled. "All my stuff is ready. Just get it out of the cupboard downstairs."
Link put on his mask and ran down the stairs. He left a letter on the table nearby and used a skeleton key to open the cupboard. A few minutes later, Link left the building, Harry in tow under his Invisibility Cloak.
A few minutes later Petunia found the letter and after reading it ran up to Harry's room.
Nothing was there except a sign with Link's face blowing a raspberry at her.
Link: "Ha! I tottally took the Dursley's down! I rock!"
Harry: (Is bowing to the power of the Stone Mask.)
"Oh yeah! This story is officially continuing. See ya later!"
