AN: Chapter 2 is finally up. I want to thank everyone that has reviewed. Here are a few notices that explain the questions that has been asked.

James is James Potter and there is a reason he didn't give his full name. One of those reasons was to not upset Harry or cause him to ask questions that James didn't want to answer yet.

The reason why James didn't ask for Harry's name was because he already knew his name.

Well enjoy the next chapter.

Chapter 2

Harry was quite happy with how his live had turned around. James had scared his relatives so much they didn't dare to treat him bad anymore and that with only one innocent prank. To say that Harry was impressed was an understatement.

After the prank Harry was given Dudley's second bedroom and due to Mrs. Figg breaking her leg they had been forced to take Harry with them to the zoo. Of course that had put Dudley in a very fool mood for days. Not that Harry cared that much. At least Harry could enjoy life for once.

After the prank Harry hadn't seen James for a while. James had explained some more about Shinigami to him and said that Harry had to take over for him now that he had taken James' powers so he couldn't perform his job. After James had told him that he said he had to take care of an errand and he would be back as soon as possible to train Harry.

A week had gone by when James returned again. He had brought with him a very strange looking cat. The cat had a dark looking fur. It seemed to be black, but it had a purplish shine to it. The cat's eyes were a reddish color, not exactly blood red, but also with some purple mixed in with it. The most strangest thing was that the cat had two tails.

"Sorry it took me so long. I had to report back to the captain commander, before I would get in trouble. It took quite some arguments, before the captain commander allowed me to come back here." James started.

"Why?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well, actually it is forbidden for a Shinigami to give their powers to a human. I didn't really know that. But after explaining about your situation I wasn't punished for my mistake. Rather I am forced to teach you everything about being a Shinigami and everything else you should know." James told him.

"Really?" Harry said, a big smile appearing on his face.

"Yes. To start off I want you to introduce you to Makoto. He's a Bakeneko, in English called a Two Tailed Cat Demon. Although they are considered demons and by default evil, Makoto is everything but. One of Makoto's abilities is to possess a human's body by forcing that person's soul out. This can be very useful to you. You can use that ability to push your soul out so you can fight as a Shinigami might a Hollow turn up." James said.

"It's very nice to meet you." The cat said, surprising Harry slightly.

"I take it another one of his abilities is to talk like a human?" Harry asked.

"That's correct." Makoto answered.

"Now I also have some news that might come as a shock to you." James started.

"And that is?" Harry asked.

"You were born with the powers of a Shinigami. That was the most important reason I got off with mostly no problems at all. When you took my powers your own were activated." James started to explain.

"Wait a minute, my parents were Shinigami?" Harry asked shocked.

"No, not both of them. Only one of your parents is a Shinigami. You should also know that they are probably still alive." James answered.

"Wwwhat?" Harry said with big eyes.

"Yes, I know it's shocking. The parents your aunt and uncle said that died were only your adoptive parents and I should know." James said.

"Hhhow?" Harry asked.

"This is a very long story and hard to believe. I am not sure what those Dursleys have told you, but knowing them they probably haven't told you the real cause to your adoptive parents deaths. First of all I should tell you it were me and my wife that took you in. We were both magic users. At the time of our deaths a war was raging. Leading this war was an evil man calling himself Lord Voldemort. The war was going on for quite some time and the light side was losing in numbers. This was when a man named Albus Dumbledore decided the light side needed a champion. That's where you come in." James started.

"What? He kidnapped me?" Harry asked incredulous.

"Yes, I am afraid so. Dumbledore gave you to us, knowing we wanted to have a child, but were unable to get one of our own. At first we didn't know you were kidnapped, but a few days before our deaths we found out. We wanted to return you to your birth parents, but we couldn't because we were in hiding from Voldemort. You see there was some prophecy involved, causing Voldemort to target us." James continued.

"Have you any idea who my birth parents might be?" Harry asked hopefully.

"No, I'm afraid not. We had started to look for them, but even before we could find even one clue we were killed." James said.

Harry looked down in disappointment. A hand on his shoulder made him look up again.

"Hé, don't worry. I still can help you out in finding them. But first I am afraid I have to lay a hard burden on your shoulders." James told him.

"And that is?" Harry asked.

"Well, that prophecy I told you about told about a person being born at the end of July and being marked by the dark lord. It also told that that person is the only one who can defeat him. Although it is confirmed the prophecy isn't real the captain commander wants you to fulfill it." James said.

"Wha…but how?" Harry asked.

"Oh, don't worry. You'll get some help from some other Shinigami. Besides you'll probably receive a letter pretty soon. That letter is an invitation to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All you have to do is go there and getting trained by us also. Defeating that dark lord won't be any problem after that." James answered.

"How's that?" Harry asked curiously.

"Because it is confirmed that he split his own soul into seven pieces, which has weakened him severely. Sadly to say one of those pieces has attached itself to your body. It probably entered on the place where your scar is located." James said.

"A piece of that evil man is inside me?" Harry asked with widened eyes.

"Yes, we should probably take care of that as soon as possible." James said.

"Um, like right now?" Harry asked.

"Probably for the best." James said.

James then turned to Makoto.

"You ready for it?" James asked the two tailed cat.

"As ready as can be. Just make sure the Hollow doesn't do too much damage once I chase it out." Makoto answered.

"Alright, Harry, this might feel a little strange to you, but don't try to panic. Makoto won't hurt you one bit." James said.

Harry nodded. At that Makoto turned into a purplish smoke and shot into Harry's chest. Harry felt his soul being pushed out of his own body. After he regained from his dazed state Harry looked up and recoiled from what he saw.

He saw his own body sitting on the bed in his room, being occupied by Makoto, but that wasn't what had made him recoil. It was a deformed baby-looking creature laying on the ground next to his bed. A chain was attached to the creature. Following the chain he saw that it was also attached to his body.

By he himself there was no longer a chain visible. James had explained about the chain of fate and that every living person had one. The chain bound a person to one's body.

"Well then, let's get rid of this, shall we? To you the honor, Harry. I want to do it myself, but with my powers lost at the moment I am not able to do much." James said.

"Alright, this shouldn't be as hard as the last time." Harry said.

He then took his sword from his back and plunged the point of the sword right into the child-like creature. The creature shrieked, before disintegrating along with the chain that had been attached to it. Harry suddenly felt dizzy as a surge of reiatsu rushed out of the place on his body where his scar was. Harry blacked out immediately.

What also happened was that more of his hair started to turn a bright orange.

James caught Harry's soul and then turned to Makoto, who was in Harry's body. Makoto nodded, understanding what James wanted. The purplish smoke, that had shot into Harry's chest before, shot back out and reformed into the two tailed cat that was Makoto. James then put Harry's soul back into his body.

"Looks like the curse lifted from this scar. Also it seems I had been right that there was a glamour placed on him, but it seems like it's still strong enough that his real self isn't revealed yet." James said as he swiped the blood away, that was seeping out of the reopened scar, with his thumb.

"That's good to know. But about that glamour, you think you can fix that?" Makoto said.

"I'm not sure, it's a pretty strong one, but it is already starting to crumble. I think it will break on its own after a while." James replied.

"I see." Makoto said.

"I just wonder if he still would be able to use a wand though." James pondered.

"Wizards can learn Kido, right? Can't a Shinigami learn magic as well? They both make use of one's spiritual power, right?" Makoto asked.

"Yes, that is true, but a wand is also similar to a Zanpakuto. They have a mind of their own. If Harry tries to find himself a wand he might not even succeed due to his Zanpakuto interfering." James answered.

"Then why not giving the Zanpakuto a physical form in the form of a piece of wood that can go for a wand?" Makoto suggested.

"Not a bad idea, but how to fool Dumbledore and whoever he sends to guide Harry through Diagon Alley?" James wondered.

"You are supposed to go with him to that school, are you not? Make sure you and Harry are separated from the guide, saying you'll help Harry get his wand while the guide get some of the other stuff you'll need." Makoto suggested.

"Ugh, I almost forgot. Why do I have to go through that school again?" James asked himself.

"To help Harry accomplish his mission and set him free from that world." Makoto answered for him.

"Well I hope no one will notice it is us." James said.

"Well, the Research and Development Department made sure your Gigai are looking a little bit different from when you were that age when you were still alive. It should fool those magic users that knew you back when you were alive." Makoto replied.

"I still wonder why we are allowed to even go to Hogwarts and practically interacting with the living." James wondered.

"Well, you can thank Harry for that and the fact that you and your wife know a lot about the place you are sent to investigate." Makoto replied.

"That's true, but there is also the fact that we are practically fresh from the academy." James countered.

"That is probably the reason why there are also some more experienced Shinigami coming along with you." Makoto said.

AN: I hope you all enjoyed it and don't forget to give me those reviews ^-^
