To be Reborn

Chapter One – Changes

The war against Voldemort changed everyone involved. With the ever increasing death toll, soon everyone knew someone who had died, and their views toward the murderers changed accordingly.

But the command trio of the Order and their master spy were changed the most.

Blaise Zabini, the master spy, had been situated in Voldemort's Inner Circle. When his true allegiances had been discovered, even his usually formidable illusions had been unable to save him from losing his eyes. His illusions had, however, succeeded in driving his attackers insane while simultaneously allowing him to escape. He covered for his sudden blindness by using his cloak's hood, and with his magic and a little help from his frog Fantasma, he was able to learn how to "see" the world around him.

Neville Longbottom, head of the medical efforts relating to the war, was now both a Doctor and a Potions Master – much to Snape's chagrin – and had gone from a jovial medic to icy Healer after losing his fiancée, Hannah Abbot. For months after her death he refused to touch anyone, preferring to deliver the much needed cures through magically enhanced Trident mosquitoes. Now, at the war's end, his sudden lack of purpose had lead to an almost complete 180 in personality, as he started drinking and hitting – badly – on every woman he could.

Luna became an explosives expert, and while she could have passed for normal to a random passerby, her friends could easily see the changes. After the death of her father, the Death Eater had learned to fear wandering into an area she had trapped, because those who managed to make it out alive were lucky if most of their limbs were still attached. Even after the war, she didn't put a stop to her habit of twisting detonators into her long hair every morning or of making little C4 statuettes whenever her hands were idle.

Harry, the leader and battle master, had changed the most. Gone was the kind, heroic young boy, and in his place stood a cold and ruthless fighter. With the goblin's help he had managed to procure guns and training, and became quite the accomplished sniper and hitman, who was even known in the mundane world. In fact, his mundane connections were the reason he was more likely to be found wearing tailored black suits and a matching fedora instead of shapeless wizarding robes. In fact the only thing magical (besides his wands) that he kept with him was a magical chameleon he had "found" during a mission in Brazil.

They had all changed with the deaths of people they had loved. Despite the growing clamour from the wizarding world to meet their saviours, they withdrew from the rest of the magical world. In the end, the daily pressure to be seen impeded their movements too much for their liking, and by the end of the year after the battle, they had simply disappeared, having set up new lives for themselves in Italy.

AN: First off, I own nothing!

Now, this idea struck me when I was reading Wintertide, an amazing HPKHR cross where Reborn is Harry's father. But then I started wondering - what if Harry was Reborn? So, this story was born.

As for the others, I didn't want to go with the obvious Golden Trio, cause I wanted there to be someone else involved. Hermione and Ron don't have to be dead - but it is easier to have them be dead. Frankly, I don't plan on going very in depth into HP-verse, although Tsuna and the gang, along with Reborn and the others, might go to England and interact with the wizarding world, it isn't certain yet. Mainly I just wanted to give some of the Reborn characters and HP twist. Also, if anyone wants to suggest a scene for a character, I would be happy to write them! Even if they don't fit with the main storyline, I will make them Omakes. (The sooner I get them, the more likely it is it will get put in the story!)
