One real big important authors note:
I own only the plot and supporting characters of this fic. The Evolution characters and the Harry Potter characters belong to their specific owners. This story was not written for profit.
As for time-lining this story – Most Evo fans will have to read my story Growing Up (Where Kurt forms Excalibur in the Evo universe) or just accept the team as they are understanding that Lucy is X23 now dating Forge whom she shares a psychic bond with. Rachael Gray (Jean and Scott's daughter) came from an alternate future and I added Brian and Betsy Braddock from the comics to the cast.
This story is set after 'Growing Up' but before 'Excalibur' in my series of stories.
This story comes from a scene I dared a faithful reviewer to write in which Lucy meets Hermione. If she posts it I'll link to it so everyone can come in on the same page, so to speak. But the story does assume that Lucy and Hermione have met and exchanged contact information – parting as friends.
Harry Potter fans can waltz right through because I've yet to muck up the series by penning my own fics – but as you can see, that's all about to change.
So without any further ado I present to you the Harry Potter and Evo-Excalibur cross-over!

"Quickly!" A voice said. "This way! A Muggle in Diagon Alley!"
Her feet padded lightly as she swiftly slipped away and down the street - out of sight.
"Are you sure Malcolm? Only one of the six alarms went off. It doesn't look like anyone is… er… Right. A Muggle in Diagon Alley… A super sneaky Muggle maybe … with magical stealth capabilities…" The man cleared his throat and whispered under his breath "Who isn't real."
"I heard that Thomas!"
"Oh, bother! Fine! Let's play hunt the Muggle!" Thomas laughed.
Lucy smiled. Although the men were distant now she could still make out their words from the darkened alleyway.
She looked at her watch. He's late… She thought as she rolled her eyes. After he boasted about his watch and everything!
She took a deep breath and held it as Thomas and Malcolm passed quickly in the street. Then she let out a sigh of relief.
She remained crouched and listening. Nothing appeared to be coming and then she heard an engine and a shadow passed from overhead.
After a moment, the car lowered itself with a 'thunk' in to the street and the door that faced her alley popped open.
Inside sat a man with bright red hair and a worried expression. He looked deep in to the alleyway with a blank stare.
"Ahhh… I'm here… Just five… or is it… ten…" He tapped his watch repeatedly but it still didn't work.
Lucy smiled despite herself and stood up slowly in the shadows. The man in the car alternated between looking at his watch and the seemingly empty alley.
Lucy took four whole steps towards him before he saw her and then he gasped as though she had appeared by some strange and foreign magic.
"I'm Lucy Logan. I take it that you're Arthur Weasley." She tried to smile softly but he seemed quite shocked.
"Y-yes." He said at last. "Hermione sent me. She said … Well, she sent you this." He handed her a note, sealed with wax.
Lucy popped it open and immediately recognized Hermione's handwriting. She could even smell her on the paper.
Lucy met Mr. Weasley's stare.
Suddenly he wasn't afraid of her anymore. Despite being terrified of anyone capable of sneaking through five out of six of the Ministry's best alarms… Let alone a killing machine who could do so.
He found himself oddly comforted as he stared in to her eyes.
"I'll help you find your son Mr. Weasley. I can track him from anywhere he's been in the last two days – but please…" She climbed in to the car and closed the door quickly. "Take me to the last place you're certain that he was."
Mr. Weasley nodded repeatedly and breathed an easy sigh of relief despite himself and the situation. He shifted gears and the car took off again.
Lucy looked down out the window. "Hunh. Flying car…" She pondered. "What a neat idea."

The authors note continues:
I know. It was a total tease, wasn't it? I'll be getting to work on this as soon as I finish 'Excalibur'. Of course – reviews may prod writing sooner…
