Chapter Three

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Ukitake was following Hagrid through the wizardry alley that they had just entered. They had to pause when a coughing fit over took Ukitake and Hagrid was very concerned about him, but Ukitake waved him off and said it was nothing to worry about. When they finally reached the bank, Ukitake was very surprised that there were such things as goblins. When they were about to enter the bank, Ukitake read:

Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay dearly in their turn.

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

Interesting. I think that the Soul Society should have a warning like this, for the Twelfth Barrack so that the new soul reapers would to stay away from it for their own safety, Ukitake thought to himself.

But when the goblin at the teller asked, "Key, please?"

Ukitake was surprised to find out that the Headmaster of Hogwarts had his vault key since his parents died; it made him wonder if there was anything that this Headmaster had that was his. But that was for another time. Ukitake was shocked at the amount of gold that his parents had left him. Once they had exited the bank, Hagrid left Ukitake at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to get his school uniforms, so he could a pick me up drink as he looked a bit green from the cart ride in Gringotts.

That was where Ukitake met Draco Malfoy, who was a spoil little brat that Ukitake would not feel guilty if he became one of Mayuri's experiments. Normally, Ukitake would not have those type of thoughts as he was one of the gentlest, kindest and more caring captain in the Soul Society, but there are a few people that just get on his nerves like that. It was rare, but it does happen.

After that, Hagrid showed up and escorted him to the bookstore, where Ukitake got his school textbooks and few extras that he thought that he would be needing. Then he went into the store that sold trunks for school and Ukitake got a two compartment trunk with a feather light charm for easy carrying. When he left the store, Ukitake found out that Hagrid already got his potions ingredients and things that he would be needing at school. After much arguing, Hagrid finally agree to let Ukitake pay him back for the stuff.

After exiting Ollivander's: Maker of Fine Wands since 382B.C. Ukitake discovered that Hagrid had brought him, a birthday present, which was a beautiful snowy owl with amber colored eyes. Ukitake thanked Hagrid over and over again, because the only people who gave him anything was Dudley and his group of friends.

Looking carefully at the owl, Ukitake said, "You are so beautiful, a beauty like you should be named Yuki. Do you like that?"

Yuki hooted which Ukitake took as a yes, that she does like the name. Ukitake smiled, he knew that Dudley would get a kick out of meeting her.

"Well, Harry, this is where I leave ya. Here is yur train ticket that will get ya to Hogwarts." Hagrid handed him a ticket, which Ukitake put in his pocket, so he won't lose it. "I'll see ya at Hogwarts. Stay well."

With that Ukitake made his way back to Privet Drive, hopefully where the Dursleys was. If not, well he will figure something out.

Headmaster's Office

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and the four heads of houses were just talking about the upcoming school year and what to expect from it. When Hagrid entered the office. Everyone paused in what they were talking about to hear what just happened.

"Ah, Hagrid how was your time with young Harry?" Albus asked Hagrid cheerfully.

Hagrid sighed before he answered, "His aunt and uncle tried to stop Harry from coming or receiving the letters, but his cousin was very happy about it. Also, I found out that Harry is sick."

"Sick?" Albus asked alarmed as he ignored the snort from Professor Snape when he heard this.

Giant tears started running down his face and into his beard as he told him what he knew of it, "There's something wrong with his lungs as poor Harry keeps having coughing fits. According to his cousin, his aunt and uncle won't take him to the healers as they kept saying that a freak does not need to go to the healers."

Hagrid then walked out of the office, crying. Leaving the Headmaster and the four professors stunned at what they had just heard. Albus suddenly felt a killing intent directed at him. Turning to the source which was none other, Professor McGonagall glaring at him with a glare that would have made Professor Snape jealous of. After a moment of silence, Professor Snape opened his mouth and said, "I bet that Potter was faking it the whole time. That Potter is nothing, but an attention seeking…"

Snape trailed off, when he felt like death was hanging over him, as he saw Professor McGonagall glaring at him, too. Wisely, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout fled the room before she exploded. Snape was reminded that Professor McGonagall was very much feared as she ripped into him and the Headmaster. He never did see the Headmaster looked this scared before.

(Scene Break)

It has been two weeks since Ukitake got back from Diagon Alley and he was sitting in bed as he was recovering from a coughing attack that weaken his body yet again. He was reading one of his schoolbooks that he has left considering Dudley coming in his bedroom and taking some of his books to read. Thankfully, Dudley brings them back in the same condition as they were taken. Suddenly, he felt three familiar spiritual pressures heading towards him.

When the spiritual pressures were right at his doorstep, Ukitake carefully got out of bed and looked out of his window and sure enough there was the Head Captain, Captain Unohana, and his best friend, Captain Shunsui Kyoraku standing at his doorstep.

Making his way downstairs, he opened the door as he was the only one there at the time. As the rest of the family was gone to town for the day.

"Hello, Head Captain Yamamoto, Captain Unohana, Shunsui. Its good to see you all, again. Why don't you come in and sit down?" Ukitake directed them to the living room.

Shunsui could not take it anymore as he picked up Ukitake and tried to squeeze the life out of him. As he was crying, he said, "I'm so sorry for not saving you from being killed. Please forgive me, Jushiro?"

Finally, Shunsui set Ukitake down and Ukitake told them, "Its none of your fault that I was killed. I should have paid more attention to my surroundings. There is nothing to forgive, Shunsui."

Before Shunsui could say anything else, the Head Captain said, "Its good to see you again, Ukitake. Its like that I just found one of my sons again. How is life going for you, Jushiro?"

Ukitake shifted around for a bit, before answering, "Well, I was born as Harry James Potter to Lily and James Potter and apparently I am a wizard that could do magic, their version of Kido. About the time I was one year old, some mad man named Voldermort, came and killed them. He then tried to kill with a killing curse that was unblockable, but somehow it back fired and destroyed his body and it gave me this scar," Ukitake pushes up his bangs to show them the lightning bolt scar. "No one knows how I survived, but I just learned that I am very famous for surviving it and defeating the Dark Lord. I think that because I was a former soul reaper had something to do with me surviving.

"Since then, I was sent here to live. Its not that bad, but my aunt and uncle really don't like me that much. And I still have tuberculosis…" Ukitake was unable to finish as Retsu shot out of her seat and demanded that he laid down, so she can examine him.

So while Retsu was examining him, Shunsui and Head Captain Yamamoto filled him in on what happened after he was killed and what happened after the war. Ukitake was surprised that not only Shunsui did his own paperwork, but he also did the paperwork for the Thirteenth Company as well.

After Retsu was done with examining him, she told him to take it easy and make sure that he did not push himself too much. But the tuberculosis seemed to be less than before when he was a soul reaper. So that was good news. Ukitake told them all about what he knew about the Wizardry World, but it was not much as he just found out about it almost two weeks ago.

After showing the Head Captain, Yuki his snowy owl, Yamamoto preformed Kido on her that will aloud her to travel to the Soul Society and back to him without any trouble and also she would be able to get in the Soul Society on her own without any help. Ukitake told the Head Captain that even though he is still alive in the World of the Living, he will continue his responsibilities as a captain no matter what.

Shunsui started jumping up and down like a little kid who was told that they could have candies any time that they wanted. It was a couple of hours later when they left, Retsu promising to send some medicine to help with condition and Shunsui also promising to either write to him every week or come and visit him whenever he has time to or was aloud to.

(Scene Break)

It has been two days, since the visit and as promised the paperwork for the Thirteenth Company had arrived along with hundreds of letters and gifts from friends and admirers. It was a very nice thought that everyone was still thinking of him. Thankfully, he was strong enough to deal with the paperwork.

When Ukitake was reading the letters or in the case of the letter that was sent by his vice captain(s), which he had a very hard time reading it because apparently, they were crying when they wrote the letter as tears pretty much covered the letter and made it almost impossible for him to read it. But he got the meaning of it that they were very, very happy to have him as their captain again even though he could not be with them until he died of age. When he read Yachiru's letter, he could not help, but laugh, because she demanded to know when her personal candy supplier was coming back.

After he was done reading all of his letters, he began writing them back or in Yachiru's case, send her some of the candy that he bought in Diagon Alley. Thankfully, Yuki only had to fly a short distance, before teleporting into the Soul Society with the letters. (AN: I really do wish that I have Yuki for myself as she would make sending letters a whole lot easier and cheaper, too.) According to his vice captain(s) (AN: I really need help, I don't know the name or names of Ukitake's vice captains. So if someone would tell what their names are, I thank you very much.), his fan girl club have built an alter in his honor. That was one thing that he did not need to know. No matter who he had to face in his past, there is nothing more scarier than his fan girl club. It was the very reason that Isshin disappeared from the Soul Society to live in the world of the living.

AN: I hope that you all like this chapter. Sorry, it took so long to update this story. I hope that you can forgive me. Please review and tell me what you all think of it. Have a nice day everyone.
