So, thanks for the support on this! I honestly don't have too much to say in here, but I do want to announce some stuff. First, to the random guest, thank you for the flame. It was utterly pathetic, and if you don't like the story, try and give some good feedback so I can improve it, and if you can't think of anything, just don't read the story in the first place. Second, I may rewrite some of my stories. Not this one mind you, and I'm planning on making a self-aware reset joke in Gem of the Sea, so The Worlds Collide may be deleted and restarted due to the difficulty of including a good twenty or so character in each chapter. I still like the overall plot, but I think it'll be handled a little differently. Anyway, time for the disclaimer.

If it's from Harry Potter or RWBY, I don't and probably never will own it.

….

The motley group was quickly approaching the little house that Ruby and her family lived in. Harry was beginning to worry a little and asked, "Hey Ruby, how's your father going to react to this?"

"Hmmmm, I have no idea!" was the perky reply as Yang began to chuckle darkly.

"Oh, he's going to try and castrate you with a rusty nail file when he sees you with Ruby, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. That's why he always asked to see my new boyfriends when Ruby was out of the house. Less chance of anything happening to her innocence that way." was her answer as both Harry and Ruby started to turn green.

She held open the door and gestured for Harry. "After you, o screwed one." He gulped and marched in, preparing to quite literally dodge a bullet. Ruby and Yang marched in after him, slamming the door shut behind them. He saw their dad, "Taiyang Xiao-Long," as Ruby helpfully supplied in their link, sitting on the couch. Taiyang pointed to a chair right across from him, one with a high back and armrests. "Sit," he intoned in a tone that brooked no argument, and Harry did sit in that chair, not wanting to anger him more than he already had.

Taking a deep breath, Taiyang inquired, "How did you two end up in that rather… compromising position?" Harry understood the underlying message of "You better hope to god you have a good answer" and replied with, "and here the story begins…"

….

1 Hour (and a few attacks later at the following points in the story:

The Crater ("How dare you do that to her?!")

The void ("NOBODY MUST SEE THAT!")

The kiss ("DIE! DIE! JUST FUCKING DIE!")

As (the slightly singed) Harry finished the story, Taiyang looked like he was about to snap out of anger once again. "So… In summary, you're from another dimension, an apparent prophesied celebrity in a hidden society of magic who fell into the woods from and soul bonded with Ruby after your aura was unlocked, turning into a faunas in the process?"

"Sadly, that's about right."

"Ruby, break your bond with him immediately. He's obviously an escaped lunatic -"

"NO! I WILL NOT BREAK MY BOND WITH HIM BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SCARED OF LOSING YOUR "PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL" TO SOMEBODY YOU'RE TOO SCARED OF TO ACCEPT WHAT HE TOLD YOU AS TRUTH! WE'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED IT, SO WHY CAN'T YOU?!" Ruby shrieked as she and Harry stomped out of the room while Taiyang stood there, absolutely gobsmacked and shocked speechless. He turned to Yang for support, gesturing wildly while Yang looked impressed.

"Damn, my little sis is awesome." she muttered to herself. "No, Dad. You attacked him, told her to break the bond (which I bet she doesn't even know how to do), and dismissed and insulted a person you know she truly loves just to keep her (in your mind) eternally young, pretty and innocent. Hell, I'm with her on this one." and Yang strolled out the door towards the couple.

….

"Urrg, I'm so pissed off right now! ("Ruby?") How dare he try and force me to break up with my Harry?! ("Ruby!") Why, I'm going to-"

"RUBY!"

"EEP! What, Harry?"

"First, please don't refer to me as "yours" for a while, okay? Second, um, I was thinking that I might want to build a weapon that doesn't use my magic, as I… don't want what happened in the forest to become a common occurrence-"

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou! This is the best present ever!" Ruby cried out as she glomped him. "Now," and here she immediately became serious, "what weapons have you used before?"

"A longsword, when I stabbed a sixty-foot (around 19.5m) long snake in the brain when I was twelve."

She responded with, "Okay then, one usage of a sword, maybe I should just design something similar to Crescent Rose for you, and you are going to learn it dutifully." while poking his nose with the pen on the "you". Laughing, they began a poke war that had just devolved into a play-wrestling match when Yang arrived.

Smirking, she looked down at their suddenly still forms and asked, "really jumping at the bit there, eh Rubes?" causing both to blush once Harry explained it mentally. "Anyway, dad should accept it now, just try not to make him a grandfather too soon, okay? That wouldn't be a particularly grand sight, eh?"

"Yang," both groaned in exasperation and embarrassment. Smirking, Yang once more beckoned for them to come with her to the house.

….

1 Month later:

….

"I present to you, Waxing Rose! And Uncle Qrow to train you! Harry, before anything else, I'll pray for you for this year during his training."

"wha- "

"Alrighty kid, drop and give me 100 pushups!"

….

5 months later

….

"Harry, your form is still too open!"

"Harry, that didn't have enough power behind it!"

"Harry, DODGE!"

"EEP!" was Harry's manly response as he activated his semblance, time dilation, and managed to land a hit on Qrow while dodging.

"Here's another thing to train! Hahahahahaha!"

"Oh, fuck me in the asshole!"

….

3 months later

….

"FLAP SOFTER, HARRY!"

"WHAT?"

"Goddamnit," Qrow muttered as he turned into a bird and took off himself.

….

3 months later

….

"Thank god that's over with." was the only thing Harry could say after he "passed" Ye Olde Qrow's Boot Camp of Hell. "YEAH!" was Ruby's ever-so-perky response. "Now, let's go to Dust till Dawn to celebrate! Besides, I need to catch up on the new weapons and restock on dust."

"Do we have to, Rubes? I just want to relax after a year of the second-worst hell I've ever been in."

"YES!" Ruby shouted as she dragged him by his ear off into the night.

"Second worst?" Qrow thought to himself. "I'm obviously not drunk enough to tell Taiyang this just yet… but I will be soon." he muttered to himself as he stomped off towards a nearby pub.

….

They were in the back of the store, just reading magazines and ignoring the world around them until an arm reached out towards Ruby. Immediately reacting, Harry grabbed the guy's arm and threw him out the nearest window, which happened to be at the front of the shop. Ruby heard the tinkle of broken glass and lowered her headphones just in time to hear "Okayyy… get them."

Shaking her head, she looked at Harry and gave him a look that said "only you, Harry".

"Hey, it's not my fault trouble follows me around like a little lost puppy," was the only response he gave before unsheathing Waxing Rose and charging towards the goons and the leader, a man in a white suit ("Roman Torchwick, local terrorist," Ruby supplied in their link). A one-sided beatdown happened in the span of a few seconds as the two scythe wielders flung the hired muscle around, kicking them out the windows, knocking them unconscious with the base of their scythes, and overall creating a scene that could only be described as a deathless massacre.

"Whew, these kittens have little red claws," Torchwick commented as he surveyed the scene. "But mine are much bigger and much more red… and MUCH more explosive!" he yelled as he threw a red dust crystal at them. Deciding to have some fun, Harry used his semblance to slow time down enough to grab the crystal, put it down Torchwick's shirt, and zip back to Ruby before the explosion hit. A freshly charbroiled Roman Torchwick collapsed in front of them right as the last window gave way. A huntress arrived a few seconds later, looked around, and sighed. "You two, come with me. NOW!"

Looking at each other, the two shrugged, and started to move. Harry went behind her while Ruby zipped around, repeatedly asking for her autograph.

….

"If it was up to me, I'd send you back home with a pat on the back… and a smack on the wrist!" she spoke out, slamming the riding crop in her hand onto the desk. She'd walked them to an interrogation room at the nearest police station and had started lecturing them on how irresponsible it was to "go after" Torchwick, only prompting a few blank looks from the two of them. "However, somebody wants to talk to you." and the door swung open to reveal a man in his late thirties, carrying a plate of cookies.

The man spoke. "Ruby Rose, you have… silver eyes." She and Harry raised an eyebrow and Ruby responded with "I already know that, Ozpin. Also, you're the headmaster of Beacon, the school we want to get into (at this Harry tensed up, prompting a curious look from the unknown huntress). So, if you're here, it must mean that we have caught your eye and you're trying to get us to attend. Am I correct?"

Sighing, the reply was "yes, you two are potential candidates. Term starts on September first. Will you attend?"

"Yes," was the only response he got as the two teenagers blurred out of the room, taking all the cookies in the process. Blinking rapidly in shock, the headmaster gave a small smile. "You'll go far, Harry Potter and Ruby Rose."

….

Arriving at the Xiao-Long residence, they immediately went up and fell asleep, cuddling up to each other unconsciously. As the morning came, they woke up and headed to the docks after packing their stuff. Sharing a glance, they agreed to wait for Yang, ignoring the comments directed at them by a group of people led by a orange-haired kid in armor.

….

"I can't believe my baby sis and brother are going to Beacon as well! This is the best day EVER!" Yang called out as she tried to give to give them one of her hugs. Key word: tried. The moment she attempted it, they zoomed off, leaving a note on her that read "Sorry sunflower, but we "seed" the need to get out while could still breathe." A comedic tick mark appeared on Yang's head and she chased the two down the hall where she thought they went, screaming "I have a knuc- I mean Huggle sandwich for the two of you!" not noticing the two quiet chuckles blooming out behind her in her all-consuming rage.

Proud of themselves for escaping the feared Sun Dragon's wrath, they sat down, casually talking about potential classes and teams at Beacon, what the initiation would be like, and so on until they were interrupted by a hologram of a familiar huntress.

"Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." and the hologram flickered out, prompting the two to acknowledge it by saying "Huh. Fancy that happening." and subsequently bursting out into laughter.

….

After the unceremonious meeting of Jaune Arc once he threw up on Ruby's shoes mid-flight, and spending a few more hours in the air, they touched down at Beacon. Upon disembarking the aircraft, a crabby white-haired girl bumped into Ruby and set off a small argument.

"You dolt! Watch where you're going! Didn't you notice the packs of dust here?!"

"First of all, you were the one who bumped into me! And second, doesn't that seem like a potentially dangerous and risky way to transfer dust?"

"Humph! I am Weiss Schnee, heiress to the SDC and have been trained in dust since I could speak!"

"... You're putting on a front now, aren't you?"

"... What?"

"Your eyes and posture tell me despite being trained to put on this front, you don't truly wish to play the pretty little heiress. I should know. My boyfriend was a celebrity either praised like he was a god or treated like vermin depending on the situation, and his home life was horrible. It took him a while to fully open up to me, despite being soul bonded."

"Wait, what-"

"Harry! Come over here!"

"'Kay, Rubes." was his response as he strolled over, stretching out his hand to shake the newcomer's own.

"No way. Can he actually know what I have gone through to acquire such a mask, despite being a dirty faunas?" was her only thought as she stretched out her hand to shake his own unconsciously. Upon grasping his hand, a golden shimmer formed around the two, shocking them speechless.

"Well, crap." Harry thought as he recognized the soul bond forming. "Ruby's gonna kill me."

"I'm soul bonded to a faunas? Father is going to kill me. Quite literally in this case." were Weiss' last thoughts before fainting right next to the cart of dust.

….

After watching Weiss get taken to the infirmary, Harry let himself get dragged around by Ruby as she headed towards the initiation, not noticing the jealous looks shot at Ruby or the lust-filled gazes aimed at him. As they sat down at initiation, they noticed a much calmer Yang and a slightly beaten up Jaune, who was still looking a little green from the flight as Ozpin began to speak.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge-to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." and he stepped down, very aware of the silence created by such a bold and blunt statement as Glynda took the stage.

"Now, everybody shall adjourn to the ballroom for the night, as you haven't been sorted into teams, and as such haven't received your dorm assignments. If you are currently soul bonded, follow me." With that, Glynda stood up and left, with Harry, Ruby, and another five people following them, one of whom was Weiss.

….

"As you are currently soul bonded, you have to sleep in a relatively close proximity. While this is normally all well and good, some people have taken this a… little too far in the past, resulting in the need for these rooms on the first night. When you have your own team, you can do what you wish, but please keep it down. Not everybody needs to be woken up by that." was the briefing that Glynda gave the seven bonded, causing six to blush deeply and Weiss to gain a horrified look after hearing the implications of the little speech. As the three headed into the room, Harry closed the door and immediately told Weiss, "Look, you don't have to do anything unless you truly want to. Hell, despite being together for a little more than a year, Ruby and I haven't actually done anything like that. Just take it at your pace, okay?" and he and Ruby headed off into the bedroom, leaving a speechless Weiss behind.

Standing there for a few minutes, Weiss couldn't do anything except stutter randomly and think upon how her expectations of her future under the bond were all being shattered. "He's letting me set the pace?! How? Why? He could have pushed me as the dominant one in the bond and I couldn't have done anything! He hasn't even done it with the one person he's been with the longest! I… just don't understand!" she thought before grabbing a change of clothes and going into the bathroom to change. Upon heading out, she checked the bedroom to make sure he wasn't lying about their virginity. They were peacefully asleep, fully clothed with Ruby snuggled up in Harry's wings. Smiling a rare smile, she joined them, not snuggling up with the two, but lying on the other side of the bed, feeling a little more at home. "Even if I don't understand, I still feel that I can trust him. Even though he is a faunas." were her thoughts as she fell asleep.

….

Waxing Rose is essentially Crescent Rose, just with a larger blade, higher caliber ammunition, and is primarily white with red streaks due to their differing semblances, strengths, and color preferences, in case anybody was wondering after this chapter.

Yes, Ruby is a bit OOC. I feel that having Harry with her would make her a bit more down-to earth, and she wasn't shocked when he told her of stabbing the basilisk because she saw his memories and that was quite memorable. When she asked about the weapons, it was just to make sure she hadn't missed anything. Yes, the romance is progressing slightly fast with Weiss, but that's just the basic trust forming. Truly opening up will be much more difficult for her. Finally, for the lemons… it will be a special chapter. Ruby and Harry really aren't the kind of people to do that in a hormone-filled lust haze, and while they do have some foreplay in private, they'll not go the final step for a while. Thanks for reading.
