Ok, so here's chapter 2, it's really kind of more an introduction to the OC, so sorry if any of you fans out there were expecting to see Harry again, but don't worry, he's comming.

I don't own anything, except you could say I own my OC since I kind of thought him up.

Chapter 2, Return to Hogwarts

Mt. Olympus, Greece

A young man knelt before a council of 12 men and women. He had one hand on the ground next to his knee and was resting his arm against it. His head was bowed, showing messy black hair. His hair extended into a 2 ft braid that ended in a foot long pony tail. The hair from the braid was a mixture of red with a gold strip down the middle wrapped around a yellow with a black stripe and a blue with a white stripe. The ponytail was green and had a silver stripe down the middle of it. The young man's body small, yet well toned after months of hard physical training. On his back was a long spear with yellow jewels embedded in it and a bow with sapphires laid into the handle. On his hips were a ruby incrusted sword and a long whip with green emeralds in the handle.

"Harry Potter." Said the man in the center of the semicircle that surrounded the boy. "Just over a year ago, you came to us to train for your war and help to control the darkness within you. Now your training is complete. Go now, return to your home and loved ones." Harry raised his head and looked at the King of the Greek Gods, a smile across his face.

Chinatown, New York City, USA

On the other side of the globe, another young man stood before a council of a dozen people. He had dark hair and Asian features. His form was slim, yet muscular, well toned. A single sword was strapped to his back and a gun hung at his hip.

"Benjamin Ryulong." Said the head of this council, an old man with a dragon on his robe. "Years ago, you were brought into our monastery because we believe that you are destined to help save the world and destroy a great evil. The prophecy stated that the boy who chose his family would stand beside the Boy Who Lived and destroy the Dark Lord of Magic. Now the time has come for you to fulfill that prophecy. Take the Double Dragon Sword of our temple and the gun of your fathers. Go to England, a place called Hogwarts, and you will find your destiny."

"Yes my masters." Benjamin said, bowing to them.

King's Cross Station, One Week Later.

"I am gonna slay that old Dragon!" Benjamin roared in the middle of King's Cross Station, drawing a few on lookers. He had his sword and several of his personal belongings in his bags that were sitting on the trolley. He wore a long green coat that hid his gun easily. He wore a pair of tinted goggles on his forehead and a toothpick stuck out of his mouth. In his hand was his ticket to get on the Hogwarts Express, some train that was supposes to take him to the Boy Who Lived, whoever the hell that was. Only problem was, the ticket said he was suppose to be on platform 9 ¾ which, obviously, didn't exist. "I swear, the next time I sign up to save the world, I'd better get better directions." He grumbled.

"Excuse me." Said a voice behind him. Benjamin turned around to see an old man with gray hair and tired eyes. Benjamin didn't have to look twice to realize that this guy was a werewolf, he had all the symptoms, dark circles, looked like he went 10 rounds in a cage match with Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. "But can I help you?"

"Might as well wolf-boy." Benjamin said. The man flinched and his face went white. "Don't worry, I'll keep it quiet. I only know you're a werewolf because I've been hunting the things almost all my life."

"I see." The man said warily. "Well, my name's Remus Lupin."

"Benjamin Ryulong." Benjamin said, sticking out his hand. "Friend's call me Benji. And you wouldn't happen to know how to get onto Platform 9 ¾ would you?"

"Going to Hogwarts?" Lupin said, looking Benji up and down. "You don't look like a first year."

"Transfer student from America." Benji said automatically. "You're headmaster set it up."

"Ah, I see." Lupin said. "Well, in order to get onto the Platform, just run right at the barrio between 9 and 10." Benji raised an eyebrow.

"Seriously?" He asked. Lupin nodded. "All right, if you say so." He sighed, grapping his trolley and taking off at the barrier. Right when he though he was going to crash into it, a giant arch way appeared, and he went right through. "Well I'll be damned." Benji chuckled, rolling his toothpick around in his mouth.

"Impressed?" Lupin asked, appearing next to him.

"Yeah, actually." Benji said with a smile, holding the pick between his teeth.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got some friends waiting for me." Lupin said.

"Well, don't let me keep you." Benji said and, shaking Lupin's hand, the two parted ways. Benji was walking down the aisles of the train, already given his bigger luggage to the train workers, so now all he had was his sword and his big brother's guitar. He was looking for a compartment when he spotted two big guys standing outside one, looking like guards. Benji knocked on a compartment door and an Asian girl answered.

"Sorry to bother you, but would you mind holding these for a second?" Benji asked. The girl looked at him confused, but nodded. "Thanks babe." He said and made his way over to the guards, acting stealthy.

Inside the compartment, Neville Longbottom was standing face to face with Draco Malfoy, his hands balled into fists. Behind him, Luna, Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Tonks were sitting.

"Why don't you just leave her alone Malfoy." Neville said. He'd grown in the past year, his muscles were more defined and he had kept his word to Harry, filling in his position as a leader. "Tonks didn't finish school because she was probably kicking your dad's ass in the war."

"You've got nerve to talk to me like that Longbottom." Malfoy sneered. "I'd like to see you back it up."

"So would I." Said a voice behind them with an American accent. Everyone looked back to see Crabb and Goyle laying unconscious on the floor of the train, and a young man leaning against the wall in a long green coat, tinted goggles on his head, and a toothpick resting in his mouth. "But he probably wouldn't have been able to do it with these two muscle heads behind you." He looked up at Neville and gave a half smile. "He's all yours dude." Malfoy turned back to Neville, who was cracking his knuckles. Among the things he'd done to help him bulk up was taking boxing and martial arts classes. Malfoy turned away, kicking Crabb and Goyle to wake them up.

"Come on, let's go." He turned to look at the American. "You don't know what you've gotten yourself into."

"Neither do you." He said, giving his eyes a short raise.

"Thanks for that." Neville said, walking up to him and holding up his hand. "Neville Longbottom."

"Benjamin Ryulong." The American replied, shaking his hand. "My friends call me Benji. And for the record, I think you could have kicked blonde's ass, I was just evening the odds a bit. If there's one thing I can't stand it's an unfair fight and your friends don't look like they could really be much help, no offence." He called back to the others. "But the redhead doesn't look like much of a fighter and the ladies look to beautiful to sully themselves with a piece of shit like him."

"Fair enough." Neville said with a smile. "You want to sit with us?"

"Sure, just give me a sec." Benji said, stepping out of the compartment and walking back to that girl's compartment. He knocked on the door and she answered. Benji noticed for the first time how pretty she was, fair eyes, long black hair.

"Would you like your stuff?" She asked, snapping him back to reality.

"What, oh, right." Benji said as she handed him his sword and guitar. "Um, I'm Ryu Benlong, I mean, Long Ruybenjamin, I mean," The girl giggled and Benji took a deep breath. "I'm Benjamin Ryulong, friends call me Benji."

"Cho Chang." The girl said. Benji took her hand, and removing the toothpick, kissed the back of it. "A pleasure." Cho giggled again and Benji smiled as he replaced the tooth pick. "I'll see you around I guess." Slowly, he made it his way back to Neville's compartment, watching Cho's compartment for as long as he could before closing the door.

"Not even here a full day and you've all ready set your sights on Cho Chang." Said the red-headed girl in the compartment.

"Looks like." Benji said with a chuckle. "She's not seeing anyone is she?" He asked quickly.

"No." The blond said. "She hasn't seen anyone for nearly a year now." Everyone's face seemed to fall a little bit.

"So, Neville, who are all these lovely ladies?" Benji asked. "And this guy?" He jerked his thumb at the red head.

"Oh, this is Ron Weasley, his sister Ginny, and his girlfriend Hermione Granger." He gestured to the red headed guy, then the girl, then the girl with the mousey brown hair. "And this is my girlfriend Luna Lovegood and Nymphadora Tonks."

"It's just Tonks." Said the pink haired girl, the blond girl being Luna.

"How're y'all doin'?" Benji asked, giving a nod.

"So, what brings you to Hogwarts Benjamin?" Hermione asked.

"It's Benji Ms. Granger." He replied with a smile. "And I'm here on some kind of mission, foretold by a prophecy." Neville snorted.

"Sorry, but a prophecy kind of ruined the life of a friend of ours." Luna said.

"Oh, sorry." Benji said, moving his toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other. "What was the poor dude's name?" There was silence for a few moments, but then, Ginny squeaked. "Harry Potter."

"Who?" Benji asked with a raised eyebrow. Jaws were dropped and eyes grew wide.

"You're serious?" Tonks asked. "Harry Potter, the vanquisher of the Dark Lord You-Know-Who, The Boy Who Lived."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, The Boy Who Lived?" Benji asked. Tonks nodded. Benji reached up and took the toothpick out of his mouth. "That's the guy I'm supposed to be looking for, you know where I can find him?" The girls faces fell like stones in the ocean, Ron's eyes became fearful and Neville got a suspicious look on is face.

"Why?" He asked, reaching inside his pocket.

"Don't worry Nev; I'm not looking to hurt the guy." Benji said. "And besides," Benji snapped his arm up, a revolver with a slide on is and a 6 inch blade at the end of the barrel in his hand, "I would have put a bullet in you skull before you could have even drawn your weapon." Luna and Tonks had drawn their wands and Benji could since that Ginny and Hermione had done the same. "Protecting one of your own," Benji chuckled, sliding the gun into his coat, "I respect that. And I wasn't gonna hurt Neville, I respect him too much. But I do need to," He glanced around at the girl's faces, "never mind." He said. Slowly, the other 6 in the compartment enveloped themselves with talk of what as going on with the Wizarding World. Benji replaced his toothpick into his mouth and reached over to his guitar case.

"What's that?" Ron asked.

"You've seriously never seen a guitar?" Benji asked, dumbfounded. Ron's face was blank and Benji chuckled, pulling out the guitar. "It belonged to my older brother Jack; he even taught me how to play." Pulling out a pick, Benji began to strum on the guitar, first getting it in tune then he began to strum a nameless melody. As he played, the girl seemed to become more mellowed and slowly, their eyelids slowly closed. When Benji finished playing, the girls were asleep and the guys were staring into space.

"Ron, Neville, can I have a talk with you?" Benji asked his face serious. Ron looked at Neville, who gave a nod. Benji set down his guitar and led the two of them outside. As soon as he closed the door behind him, he turned to the two of them. "Listen, I seriously need to know where to find this Harry Potter dude. The prophecy said that the boy who chose his family would help the Boy Who Lived save the world from the Dark Lord."

"The Dark Lord, you mean Voldemort?" Neville asked. Ron flinched at the sound of the name.

"What's with him?" Benji asked.

"It's kind of a long story." Neville said. "Anyway, this guy who chose his family, that's you?"

"In a nutshell." Benji said. "And if I'm supposed to help this Harry guy, I have to know where he is. And for that matter, what's with them." He jerked his thumb back at the compartment.

"Let's just say that we were in a fight a little over a year ago and Harry took a hit for the girls to save their lives." Ron said. "And then after he left it almost destroyed them."

"Ah, survivor's guilt." Benji said. "Well, I'll just trust you about all that. Do you guys have any idea when Harry will be back?" Ron was stiff, but Neville shook his head. "All right, thanks man."

"Don't bring this up around the girls." Ron blurted out. "They all owe Harry their lives and we don't need some…outsider to bring up those memories." Benji turned to Ron, his eyes cold. Then he reached down and rolled up his sleeve, showing three long claw marks.

"I got this from the werewolf that mauled and savaged my entire family except for me and my brother." Benji said his voice hard and cold. Then he rolled up his other sleeve. "And I got this from the vampire that killed my second family, the one my brother and I made up while we were on the street And this," he lifted up his shirt to revile a 2 ft scar across his chest that went from his shoulder to his waist and a bullet hole on his other shoulder, "came from the very gun that murdered my brother, was used by my father's family, and is hanging from my hip." He let his shirt fall. "Come on, we'd better wake the girls up so we all can change." They all changed and when the time came to get off the train, Neville and the others led Benji to the carriages that would take them up to the school.

"Ok, what's up with the half dead winged hoses?" Benji asked.

"Oh, you can see them too?" Luna asked.

"They're called thestrals." Neville said. "They can only be seen by people who have seen death."

"Yeah, I definitely qualify." Benji muttered. Ron climbed into a carriage with Ginny, Hermione, and Tonks while Benji jumped in with Neville and Luna.

"Excuse me." Said a voice over the side. Benji looked over and saw Cho standing there. "Um, can I ride with you guys?" Benji looked to Neville before he knew what he was doing. But Neville just shrugged.

"Uh, sure." Benji said, chuckling to himself.

"Something funny?" Cho asked.

"Nah," Benji said, still chuckling to himself and glancing at Neville. As they made their way up to the castle, everyone was silent. Benji and Cho were doing everything in their power to not look at each other, or at least get caught looking at each other. Neville and Luna on the other hand were looking at each other and trying to stifle their laughter as they watched Benji and Cho.

"So, um, do you know what house you're going to be in Benji?" Cho asked.

"I'm, uh, gonna be in, oh, what's that house with the red and gold; mascot's a lion." Benji said, snapping his fingers, trying to remember.

"That's Gryffindor." Neville said. "That's the same house me, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Tonks."

"Yeah, what's Tonks's deal?" Benji asked. "I mean, no disrespect to her, but she looks older than 17."

"She had to drop out of school early to help with the war." Luna said. "She's here to beef up protection around school and to finish up her last year." When they got off the carriages, Benji helped Cho down, she held onto his hand a while longer until Neville cleared his throat, they made their way to the table. Neville led Benji to the Gryffindor table with Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Tonks. Throughout the sorting, Benji was rolling the toothpick back and forth in his mouth, just trying to keep himself occupied. Finally, when the last student was sorted and the headmaster stood up, all the lights suddenly went out except for those by the doors of the Great Hall, which banged open.

"Does this happen often?" Benji asked, taking his toothpick out.

"No, it doesn't." Neville said.

"Didn't think so." Benji said, replacing his toothpick and standing up. Slowly, a figure walked into the Great Hall. He wore a long cloak with the hood up. Two long spikes came out from the man's shoulders and hips.

"Whoever you are, identify yourself or else you will be dealt with." Dumbledore said threateningly.

"I'd listen to the old man." Benji said, flexing his fingers. "Because I can tell just by looking at him, he's twice as dangerous as I am. And I'm plenty dangerous." Suddenly, there was a deep booming roar, and a great golden lion padded into the hall, barring its teeth. The creature was soon followed by a particularly large badger, an emerald green snake and, preceded by a great screech, a great eagle that rested on his shoulder. "Ok, didn't see that coming." Benji said, taken aback. Before anyone else could say anything, a great snowy white owl swooped into the room.

"Hedwig!" Hermione practically screamed.

"Hed-who?" Benji asked.

"Harry's old owl." Neville said. The owl circled the room once and then flapped down to the stranger. And then rested on its shoulder.

"But, that's impossible." Ginny said. "She'd only do that for,"

"Harry?" Ron asked, stunned. The figure threw back his hood showing a young man wearing dark sunglasses, despite being indoors. He had messy dark hair on his head, but a braid that went halfway down his back and ended in a ponytail at his tailbone. The hair on the braid was red, yellow, and blue with gold, black, and white stripes respectively, and the ponytail was green with a silver strip. And on his forehead, just barely visible through the jet black bangs, was a thin, lightning bolt shaped scar.

"Who were you expecting?" Harry Potter said with a smile. "Lord Voldemort?"

And there you have it, the introduction of Benjamin "Benji" Ryulong and the return of Harry Potter. Also, I'm thinking about throwing Luna into Harry's harem and having her and Neville split up. Should I go for it?
