-1A/N: The only other story I shall work on. This type has only been done once before to my knowledge and I've decided to try my hand at it. This is a crossover between Harry Potter and Shadow Hearts 1&2. Shadow Hearts is a game for Playstation 2, and a third one is currently in the making. If you do not know anything about Shadow Hearts, then your in luck, because this will explain things as it goes, and I guarantee you that you will be able to understand, and do not need to know about shadow hearts to enjoy(it would help greatly though for seeing things ahead). This is going to be the other trilogy I do. I hope you read and review, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to anything that may be incorporated within this story. Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling and Shadow Hearts 1,2,&3 belong to the creator of the marvelous games, and company Xseed. This is not for profit so do not sue.

Summary: After Harry's fourth year, he begins to experience radical changes, and odd memories not his own. Soon an effort to uncover his lost past is set in motion, and the allies of the past must be reunited in order to stop a new evil. HPxSH crossover.

Hearts Shadow Trilogy: Awakenings

Prologue:

L.O.C.A.T.I.O.N: Mt Fuji, Japan.

"Hey Rick get over here!" A man in his late forties shouted from deep within the active, but as of the moment non-dangerous volcano.

"What did you find Carl?" Another man Rick in his early fifties asked shaking his head at his associate.

"You'll never believe this, but I think it's a human body." Carl said and Rick blinked in surprise.

"He's right Ricky, a preserved human fossil, found here in the middle of an active volcano. Your going to be famous Ricky!" An overenthusiastic thirty-year old Gen Thomas said happily. He said so in a slight British accent.

Rick slowly made his way over where a sheet covered an oddly body shaped figure. Around him were his companions and fellow workers. Susan, Carl, Gen, Vice, Jara, and many other members of his expedition that he did not bother to find the names, besides the five he knew the names of everyone else was just in the business for the money. Rick was the leader of the expedition, and never did they expect to discover the remains of a human preserved in ash and rock for who knows how many years.

"So Gen what you going to get your son Dean?" Susan asked Gen softly. Gen had not seen his son in over six years, he did send him gifts every one in awhile, and it was the thing he most look forward to on an expedition. Everyone knew Gen would love to return home, but being an ex-agent in the special forces, made him choose to stay away. At least until the ones who hunted him were dead or behind bars.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen him for six years, he rights on occasion, I'm thinking about sending him a samurai outfit, or possibly a sword if able. Then again I haven't yet decided. Maybe I can see him one day soon and give him the other gifts I have for him. I just don't know." Gen said frustratingly.

"So let's see this fossil! Come on! Everyone up!" Rick said sympathizing with Gen, he had his own family he had to stay away from.

"Yes sir! Sir!" Gen said scrambling away from Susan. It was believed within the group that the two were falling for each other, it was never said to their faces though.

"Now Rick, what your about to see is astounding, all your efforts have finally paid off." Vince said

"Yes, I'm happy, but let me see the damn thing for goodness sakes!" Rick yelled causing chuckles from his men. Jara lifted the cloth off and he saw the body for the first time.

It was a young man, about twenty or so dressed in white button down almost tuxedo-like coat. The neck was twisted at an odd angle like it had been snapped by some powerful force. What was most astounding about the man was that he was not fossilized, he seemed to be completely whole and preserved without anything happening to the body. It was quite strange.

"What, what is this?" Rick asked.

"It's a man, guessing around the 1800's by his clothes. This has never been known to happen before, scientists all over the world would want to take a glimpse of this. Your guaranteed to be famous and rich. Now all you need to do is discover how to un-preserve him." Jara said eyes glistening, they were orange eyes.

"Un-preserve?" Rick asked bewildered.

"Yes. As Jara said Carl, her, and I believe that the man could possibly be returned to life, we believe that he is in what one could call suspended animation."

"Really?" Rick asked looking at the body again. This time he saw the eyes, the eyes were blood red, and Rick Serf felt a chill go up his back. He got a bad feeling coming from the man. Something was bad or different about him. Why would he be in a volcano in the first place?

"Ha! Take a picture real quick I can send it off to my son, I'll be able to return home soon, the man who put the bounty on my life died the other day. Another month or so and I'll be leaving. Here, take it when I say." Gen said walking over to the body, he began smiling and gave a thumbs up for the picture to be taken. A flash resounded throughout the chamber of the volcano. Rick Serf again felt the chill travel up his spine and head to other parts of his body, he could have sworn he saw the eyes of the man glow.

(A year later)

Rick Serf became famous for finding the first ever still intact and non-decayed, or ruined fossil of a human. It was put on display in the Museum for dead artifacts and people, the Corpse Museum in Berlin Germany. The man was called the Living Corpse, and many people who had a slight interest in morbid appearances and ideas went to see it. Little did everyone know, the Living Corpse would one day walk again.

A/N: Quick little prologue, those who have played shadow hearts: covenant know who this man is, for those of you who don't, you do not need to know, you will be able to understand in time. We will not return to the corpse for quite a long time, mentions of him may be told, but not the actual corpse. Harry will be in the third chapter, Dumbledore is next chapter. Hope you enjoyed, please read and review.
