A New Era of Darkness Chapter 2: (OLD) The Retaliation, a Harry Potter + Sonic the Hedgehog Crossover fanfic

A New Era of Darkness

(Update 02-15-2018: It's been over 10 years and I've let this sit long enough. I apologize deeply to everyone who's ever read this old trip. Skip to CHAPTER THREE for the REVISED Chapter One. I'll try to be better this time around. A lot has happened in my life and I won't waste time on it, but I feel confident enough in my writing skills now to hopefully not absolutely derail my original outline for this. My hope is those both old and new to this story enjoy it.)

Last Time:

Hedwig hooted 3 times in comfort and a mysterious voice sounded in Harry's head. 'My human, I have thought over what you can call me and you can call me Hedwig when I am a snowy owl, Minuo when I am a black raven, Ketsueki when I am a dark snowy and Caelum when I am a Hell Shadow phoenix.'

This Time:

When Harry was pondering what he could call Hedwig, a blast, a crazy-sounding cackle and a thud/scream sounded from downstairs. 'What is it now?' Harry thought.

:I think it is some Death Eaters (an/ I'm calling them DE) that Voldemort sent to kill you after that incident that involved some DE, whipped cream, Voldemort, fries, a whale and that one ba-: Hedwig mentally said in Harry's head, hearing his thoughts.

-Shut it, Caelum!- Harry interrupted and got up, deciding to call Hedwig by the name Caelum.

Laughing was coming from the main floor and Caelum transformed back into her snowy owl form. They ran/flew down the hall stairs and into the kitchen where Bellatrix Lestrange was torturing Petunia Evans Dursley for all its worth.

-Wow, a cat fight. We should get some mud.-

Just then, the window broke open and a black and red blur flew into Bellatrix, knocking her out then, aiming for Petunia and stunning her as well.

"What was that?" just as he was saying that, the blur stopped and a hedgehog stood up.

/My name is Shadow. I am the world's ultimate life form.\the creature spoke into Harry's and Hedwig's heads.

"Say what?" asked Harry, raising an eyebrow.

/I am Shadow the Hedgehog\ Harry arched an eyebrow and walked to the fridge/ice box/refrigerator and took out 2 Pepsi cans and one of Dudley's chocolate milkshakes. He gave Shadow one of the Pepsi cans and set the chocolate milkshake in front of Caelum.

"This is going to need some explaining."

( 5 HOURS LATER )

Harry, Shadow (he was one of Harry's best friends now) and Hedwig (She had the power to transform into a human like an animagus and was called Maria after some debate with Shadow exclaiming that she looked like his late best friend, Maria) walked into a movie theatre to see, funnily enough, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone (Sorcerer's Stone). Two hours later, they walked out laughing like maniacs and whenever someone said 'Quidditch', they would collapse into a heap on the floor in laughter. (AN: Hedwig will be referred to as Maria from now on)

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Harry wondered.

"Who knows?" replied Maria when they walked past Dragon F/X, a tattoo and piercing studio. Shadow (he was in disguise as a human as to not draw attention to himself) raised his eyebrow and said, "Like tattoos there, Maria?"

Maria hummed and pushed Harry into the parlor. "Yep"

Harry yelped, startled by Maria's not-so-subtle push, and walked calmly over in the direction of the displays, shooting a venomous glare at Maria while she talked with the clerk about what they wanted. He went up to the cases and browsed through the many designs and earrings that they had.

While Harry was browsing and Maria was talking to the clerk, Shadow went and grabbed a pad of paper and a pen from the desk, sketching a design on it. When he finished the sketch, he stood up and went to the earrings section. He grabbed two for his eyebrow and three barbells for his upper ear, and then walked to a clerk. Shadow showed her the design and the earrings, following her to the back rooms.

Maria finished talking to the clerk and went to the tattoo books. She browsed for a couple minutes and found a snowy owl perched on a tree branch for her shoulder and a rune band for her opposite arm. Maria noticed Harry walk into the back with an attendant and she switched to the earrings. She chose a couple earrings for her earlobe and got a navel ring and a gemmed stud for her nose. She moved to a tattooist and into the back rooms.

( 4 ½ HOURS LATER )

The three friends walked out of the parlor, various parts of their bodies hurting.

"Owch. Thwis hwurts!" Harry muttered around the shiny barbell in his mouth and the silver ring on his bottom lip. He had at least 5 patches on body: two on his left arm, on down all of his right side (from chest to hip) and two on his back. The top one was in-between his shoulder blades and one stretching across his lower back.

They all had bags with them that had lotions and creams for their tattoos and a bunch of extra earrings/barbells for their many piercings.

After walking, they stopped in front of the Dursley's house and went in. It was a madhouse. Vernon and Dudley were covered by a sheet and Petunia was in the kitchen nursing a cup of tea.

When they heard the door open, Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley looked up. Then Harry walked in, Hedwig on his shoulder, following a black and red creature (Shadow) and Molly ran up to him. She hugged him tightly and Hedwig flew over to Shadow. Harry winced and slowly hugged her back.

"Where were you? We were so worried! I thought that the Death Eaters took you! The Order assumed the worst. Don't you ever, I repeat, ever do that again, young man!"

Harry was slowly turning a bluish-white and had a pained expression in his eyes. -C-can't b-breathe...need air. Body...hurts, help!-

Shadow chuckled and tapped Mrs. Weasley on her arm.

"Ease up. You're hurting him and cutting his air flow."

Molly blushed and let go of Harry, who gasped and rubbed his tattoos gently. Both Shadow and Hedwig were laughing at Harry and he choked out. "S-shut up. It's not funny!"

Shadow continued to laugh and said it was. When Harry ran and tackled Shadow, his piercings glowed in the dim hall lighting and his bandages were glazed with an egg-shell white color. Molly noticed the wraps and pulled out her wand, pointing it at the two wrestling on the floor. They shot apart and Harry turned to face Mrs. Weasley while Shadow moved into his namesake.

His eyes glinted with a hidden feral look and he growled at her, baring his canines, his fangs. His fingernails elongated into his claws and his eyes had a red tint to them. Shaken but not deterred, Mrs. Weasley stood at her full height of 5'6", her hands resting on her hips. She growled right back.

"What," she whisper-shrieked, "have you done! You're covered in wraps and have earrings! You, you look like a hooligan! You're t-turning i-into a p-punk like B-bill!" She started to cry and buried her head in her hands. Harry blinked, the red in his eyes receding and his claws and fangs shrinking back to normal. He slowly walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She turned and pulled him into a gentle hug, sobbing into his shirt. He was three inches taller than her and her head reached his ear. Harry started to rub small circles on her back and whispered soothing words at her.

Dumbledore and Mr. Weasley walked into the hall, Petunia following them meekly. They stopped and stared at the pair and Harry looked up, his eyes pleading for help. Mr. Weasley took his wife in his arms and continued where Harry left off. Shadow, forgotten, faded from the shadows with Hedwig on his arm going to where he came from.
