Disclaimer: I do not own any thing from Bleach or Harry Potter. They belong to Kubo Tite and J.K. Rowling respectively.
A/N: I try to make things easy to understand so I won't state a specific timeline. It's just after 6th year and as for Bleach, I'm following where the anime would be after the accursed fillers just before Inoue gets kidnapped by Aizen.
Oh yea, DON'T ask about their language barrier.
Opening Notes: I do not know rather I'm right in putting this crossover in this section (it's my first fanfic here) but if there's any reason, its because of the setting of the story.
"The Final Release"
New beginnings (1)
The Burrow
The dark shadow loomed over him menacingly as he was trying to shout for him but to no avail. No matter how hard he tried, he just could not speak. The dark shadow grabbed his throat with its two foul hands and started to strangle him. Somehow he knew it from somewhere, but he was too distressed to try and recall.
Suddenly a bright flash of light appeared and the shadow's foul hands fell off. Soon the dark shadow started to disintegrate. In its place stood a regally armored knight with a stout broadsword. Harry felt safe in that instance and the last thing he heard was, "You will be- ".
"HARRY!"
"Huh? Who the-?" Harry asked as he awoke.
"Harry, you were having a nightmare", it was Ronald.
After the events of last year, everything was in a mess. Harry could not stay with the Dursleys as he felt that it was too dangerous to be there, especially with all the Muggles in the area. So during the summer, he had been constantly on the go, moving from Lupin's apartment to Black's mansion and now the Burrow.
"What were you dreaming about?" asked Ron.
"I- I don't know exactly," Harry replied, "But it seemed so real."
"Umm, Harry, Your neck is bruised."
And true enough, on his neck were vivid scarlet handprints.
"It can't- it can't be." Harry muttered to himself.
"Can't be what?" asked Hermione as she came into the room.
"Mmm? Nothing." replied Harry.
Over at the breakfast table, there were only Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and the twins. Harry did not know whether to tell them about the dream he had. Everyone chewed their breakfasts in silence.
Karakura Town
"ICHIGO!!! Rise and Shine!" cried Ichigo's father
As his father was about to land a swift flying kick to Ichigo's face, Ichigo quickly rolled out of bed to grab his father by the ankle, sending him crashing into the cupboard.
"Oyaji (father), it's too freaking early to be awoken by you." Ichigo said.
"HAHA, You are truly my son to dodge my morning attack. But you have to help me get some supplies from the hospital. We're running out." Isshin replied.
"Oh. Alright." he replied obligingly, "I have nothing better to do anyway."
"That's a good son, you make daddy so proud" Isshin commented.
"SHUDDUP!" and down came Ichigo's fist.
Karakura Town was pretty quiet this summer and there was almost a month left until the end of the holidays. As he walked towards the hospital, Ichigo thought of visiting Urahara Kisuke first.
"Oei! Geta- boshi (sandal- hat)!" called out Ichigo.
"Mmm? Ichigo? Replied Urahara, "What brings you here?"
"Just thought I would pop by, how are things?"
"Not too good actually. Ukitake taicho (Captain) called me sometime ago concerning disturbances in the spirit world." Urahara replied grimly.
"Does that mean-?"
"Yes, we might need you to pay them a visit."
