First, are you ATLA fans all ready for The Search library edition? This book has all three parts of The Search together, and it tells about if they found Zuko's mom. To those who haven't read The Search...I won't tell you yet; it's a surprise. And I'm also looking forward to the fourth Survivor Dogs book, which came out just a few days ago.

And about this chapter, it'll play out like it did in The Legend Of Korra. Thus, this chapter will be pretty long. So now let's go on with the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: Just remember, folks, that I don't own Avatar: The Last AirBender and Harry Potter. They belong to their respective creators and their respective companies. I'm only making this FanFic for entertainment, not money.

The Trial Of Yakone

Harry had felt a lot better when he went down to breakfast one morning. Aang and Katara had really treated him well better than his aunt or uncle ever did, and their kids were better to get along with than Dudley. It had already been three months since he was rescued, and he was happy he was a part of the Avatar's family. Things were a lot different here than the real world, but he was slowly getting used to the idea of living in another world.

When he got down to the kitchen, the family was already up. Kya was helping Katara make some breakfast, Bumi was tossing a ball for Momo Two to catch, and Tenzin was reading the paper with Aang. Harry was well aware that he looked different from them, but at least they cared for him.

"Good morning, Harry," Kya said, looking up from the breakfast she was helping her mother make. "You hungry?"

"Morning," Harry greeted the teenage WaterBender as he greeted everyone else. "And yeah, I'm pretty hungry."

So the two women went back to cooking, and Harry sat down next to Aang. For some reason, the Avatar's gray eyes were narrowed in suspicion as he looked down at the paper, and Harry didn't know why. But just then, he stood up, leaving Tenzin to read the paper by himself.

"Looks like another witness has seen Yakone's work again," Aang said. As Harry recalled what he heard about that man, the Avatar walked over to Katara and laid a hand on her shoulder, saying, "Toph said she can handle the case, and I respect that, but from what I heard from recent witnesses, she might need some help. I'm going to the city to talk with the witness and then try to find her."

Katara looked around with an anxious face. "Alright then, Aang...but please," she said, leaning up to kiss his cheek. "Please be careful."

Aang smiled a bit despite what was happening. "Careful is my middle name. Speaking of name..." He turned to Harry as he spoke. "Do you have a last name just in case?"

Harry looked up from the paper he was reading with Tenzin. "It's Potter. Harry Potter. Why?"

"In case if there's another person in the city named Harry...if you get lost in the city one day," Aang replied. He went back to Katara and kissed her cheek, saying, "I better go. I love you."

"I love you too, Aang," his wife responded. "And again, be careful. Yakone is a crafty man, and you never know what he'll do. But I know you can do it."

Aang nodded and turned around, the cape on his shoulders swishing around. But then he looked back and said with a grin, "And kids...be good to your mom, okay?"

"We will, Dad," Bumi answered, trying to tease Momo Two with fruit.

"And don't keep teasing him like that, Bumi," Aang told his son firmly. "Either give the fruit to him, or leave him alone."

Bumi nodded, looking a bit down at he dropped the fruit. "Okay, Dad."

With a small nod and an apologetic smile, the Avatar went out the door.

Harry had joined the family for breakfast when he saw that it was mainly fruit and vegetables on the table. But he didn't mind; after living with this family for a few months, he had gotten used to it. Plus, the day would have gotten a bit more normal if Bumi hadn't suggested a game.

"Hey Harry!" the pre-teen piped up. "You wanna play hide-and-seek?"

But Harry wasn't sure about that. When he lived with the Dursleys, he had always hidden from Dudley and his gang when they played "Harry Hunting". Then again, Aang and his family had been kind to him, and he supposed a game like that wouldn't be too bad.

So he swallowed his bite of apple and said, "Okay. But is it okay if I help clean up?"

"You don't have to, Harry, but you've been good with that," Katara answered. "An acolyte can help me clean up, and then I have that WaterBending class to teach. Why don't you four go play outside today?"

"Do I have to, Mom?" Tenzin spoke up. "Kya and Bumi will keep being jerks."

Katara gave her youngest son a firm look. "I know, but it'll be a good time for you to get along with your siblings, Tenzin...as long as they get along too." She had given her two older children a stern look too. "Think of it as a break from your father's studies."

With a sigh, Tenzin closed the paper and said, "Okay."

Harry followed Kya and Bumi outside, Tenzin reluctantly following, and he wondered where he could hide on the island. It would be too easy to find someone, but it didn't hurt to try. The three children and teenager finally made it to the practice arena where Aang usually taught his class about Air Nomad culture.

Air Temple Island itself was amazing too. There were plenty of houses in the middle of the island, the temple right in the center. Forest trees surrounded the buildings, and there was even a cove beach at the southern end, where a ferry dock was being made. There were also the bison caves in the southwest and the lemur tree in the northeast.

"Since I'm the oldest, I'll go first," Kya announced. "I'll count to thirty, and you go hide. Whoever loses has to clean up all the piles bison poop around the caves until sunset."

"Eww..." Harry had only done one or two things bad while Kya and Bumi were always mischief-makers. "Really?"

Bumi nodded. "Yeah. And you do NOT want to be around when the bison eat. They can smell worse than cow pig manure!"

"Shouldn't you show more respect to the bison?" Tenzin piped up. "Dad found the missing herd of bison, and we should be grateful."

"Whatever. I was just joking," Bumi said, cracking a crazy grin. "Seriously, bro, you gotta lighten up!"

Harry agreed, "Yeah. Don't AirBenders have a good sense of humor?"

Tenzin sighed. "I guess...I should lighten up a bit. So I'm gonna go hide."

Bumi added, "Me too!"

"Me three," Harry finished, heading for the woods.

When he made it to the edge of the woods, Kya had begun counting. Quickly, he tried hiding in a hole in a tree only to be pushed out by a couple of lemurs. Next, he tried hiding in a stump, but it was too full of fungi to hide properly. Finally, he tried hiding under a bush...and there was nothing under there to keep him out.

Here we go, he thought as he settled under the bush. The perfect hiding place.

But just as he thought of this, he began thinking of how Aang was handling the case of Yakone. He had not really heard of this man until recently when he heard the Avatar and Katara talk about him last night. Whoever he was or what he looked like, Harry hoped Yakone would be found out and defeated soon.

Suddenly, thoughts of Republic City made him feel tired, his eyes drooping as a yawn escaped from his throat. Harry wanted to stay awake, but there was nothing he could do to do so. Then before he knew it, he had rested his head on the ground and let sleep take over his mind.

...

"Harry? What on earth are you doing out here?"

Opening his eyes, he woke up almost half-way and was quickly startled. Aang was towering over him, a confused look on his face, and the young boy saw that he was in bushes. He crawled out until he was fully standing up, and he did not want to see the disappointment in his eyes. That, and he had no idea how he had appeared in the middle of the city. Said city wasn't really busy at the moment, looking more like one of those towns he saw in American western movies.

In the meantime, Aang looked confused as he asked, "Well?"

"Kya, Bumi, and I were playing hide-and-seek," Harry said. "I was just hiding when I thought of how you were handling the Yakone case. But then I thought of Republic City, and here I am."

Aang didn't look like he believed him, but he didn't say it. Instead, he said, "Well, the witness had said that Yakone is indeed becoming a problem. You better stick with me for a while, Harry, and then I'm taking you back to Air Temple Island."

Harry nodded. He didn't want to get caught up in the drama, so he was looking forward to going back...even if that meant cleaning up bison manure.

"What are you doing here, Aang?" They both turned around to see Toph in her MetalBender cop armor, MetalBender cops behind her. "I told you I have this under control."

Aang faced his EarthBending teacher. "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't get involved," he replied calmly and seriously. "But if what those victims said is true, we're not dealing with a normal criminal."

Toph looked at him before smiling. "Fine," she said as she turned to the side and waved at Aang to follow her. "Follow me, Twinkletoes."

Twinkletoes? Harry smiled a bit at this and looked up at his foster father. He had never heard Toph call him that before, but he had heard her call Katara "Sugar Queen" before.

"Toph, I'm forty years old," Aang said, turning around to follow. "You think you could stop with the nicknames?"

"'Fraid not," Toph replied in amusement. But as Aang shook his head in defeat, she turned her head and asked, "By the way, what's Harry doing here? Isn't he supposed to be Sugar Queen?"

"I don't know what happened," Harry said while keeping up with the adults. "One minute, I was playing hide-and-seek and trying to find an empty place, and the next, I ended up here. I don't know what happened."

The MetalBender looked down at him in suspicion before saying, "Okay then...but you gotta stick with us at all times for now. The man we're gonna bust is a very dangerous BloodBender. Thank the spirits Katara banned BloodBending."

Harry nodded and stuck closer to Aang. He had heard Katara tell him and Tenzin about this awful power, the feeling of your body liquids being Bended unwillingly. She had told them about how an old woman named Hama came up with BloodBending after she was captured in a Fire Nation raid, and even she herself had used it two times. One time was for desperation to save her friends, and the next was for anger.

But still...he couldn't see the kind and motherly Water Tribe woman use BloodBending.

After some walking, they stopped at what looked like a fancy restaurant. In there, Harry could see a man sitting at a table while a couple of bodyguards stood in front of it. The man had short brown hair, elaborate blue clothing, and yellow eyes. Harry, Aang, Toph, and the rest of the cops walked into the restaurant and ignored the bodyguards glaring at them.

"It's over," Toph proclaimed as she pointed a finger at the man. "You're under arrest, Yakone."

Yakone had his eyes closed and head down as he muttered in a deep voice, "What is Republic City coming to? Used to be a man could enjoy his lunch in peace," he added as he opened his eyes and lifted his head up with a smirk.

Suddenly, Toph Bended a spool of wire out from her side, and it caught Yakone's wrist, making him lose his hold on his chopsticks. Then she yanked him up, turning the table over, and a cop then subdued Yakone and turned him around to cuff him. Harry was amazed to see her do her job so well despite being blind.

"Hey, what's the big idea?!" Yakone snarled, his face full of fury.

"We have dozens of witnesses, Yakone," Aang said calmly. "We know what you are."

When the other cops subdued the bodyguards, Toph then barked, "Take him away."

So Yakone was led away. But while he was, he growled, "I've beaten every trumped-up charge you yahoos have brought against me, and I'll beat this one too!"

Harry looked up at Aang and saw worry cross over his foster father's face. This Yakone seemed to have taken a hold on his mind, but he moved closer and looked up into his face. Aang looked down at him and tried to smile, but Harry saw that the smile was forced due to the tension.

...

To make sure Harry didn't disappear, Aang had taken him to the court room. They were both sitting behind Yakone while a council table sat before the benches. Five people were sitting at the long table, and Harry saw Sokka sitting between a Fire Nation woman and an Air Nomad man, right and left respectively. He had seen a court on TV before, but then he was pushed away by his aunt and uncle.

But Harry did not like the look on Yakone's face: it was an evil grin. Just then, another man came in and sat down beside the evil man; this must be his defense attorney. There was no time to worry, for the prosecutor (a pretty young woman with green eyes, glasses, and Water Tribe clothing) began speaking.

"Yakone has ruled Republic City's criminal empire for years," she began as she began to pace before the council. "Yet he has always managed to stay out of the law's reach. Until now. You will hear testimony from dozens of his victims, and they will tell you Yakone has maintain his grip on the underworld by using an ability that has been illegal for decades," she paused as her eyes narrowed. "BloodBending."

The audience gasped, and Harry could see Sokka frowning with suspicion. Plus, he saw Yakone hide a smirk, and there were even handcuffs around his wrists. But then they quieted down as Yakone's defense attorney stood up.

The man walked out from behind the table towards the council, saying, "The prosecution's entire case is built upon the make-believe notion that my client is able to BloodBend at will, at any time on any day. I remind the council that BloodBending is an incredibly rare skill and it can only be performed during a full moon. Yet the witnesses will claim that my client used BloodBending at every other time except during a full moon." He paused to gesture to Yakone and smacked a scroll into his palm, finishing, "It would be a mockery of justice to convicta man for a crime that is impossible to commit."

There were now some murmurs, and Harry could even hear agreements. But there had to be some impossibility, for Aang and Katara had taught him that anything could be possible. Speaking of Aang, he looked up and saw a seriously grave look on his face now.

"How can they not see him as guilty?" Harry asked him. "He's bad!"

But Aang murmured, "I agree, but be quiet, Harry. We better wait until the council come back to deliver the verdict."

So Harry nodded and settled down, knowing that there was no arguing about that.

A few minutes later, the council came walking back towards their seats. A voice rang out through the room, "Councilman Sokka will now deliver the verdict."

Harry sat up a bit. He had known that in his youth, Katara's brother was a quirky young man who was skeptical about stuff and plucky comedy relief. But now it was hard to see him like that; he now looked serious and focused on his job. Finally, when everyone quieted down, the Water Tribesman began to speak.

"In my years, I have encountered people born with rare and unique Bending abilities," Sokka began. A smile came across his face as he went on, "I once bested a man with my trusty boomerang who was able to FireBend with his mind. Why, even MetalBending was considered impossible for all of history until our esteemed Chief of Police, Toph Bei Fong, single-handedly developed the skill."

Toph was still standing at attention beside her cops, and Harry could have sworn she saw a proud smile come across her face.

Sokka went on, looking serious again, "The overwhelming amount of testimony and evidence has convinced this council that Yakone is one of these unique Benders, and he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes. We find Yakone guilty of all charges and sentence him to life in prison."

When the gavel hit the block, Yakone's attorney balled up the scroll in his hand, threw it away, and banged his hand against the table angrily. Harry was happy that Yakone was going to be sent to prison...that is, until said man suddenly stood up, his eyes dilating unnaturally.

Suddenly, Sokka groaned loudly in pain as his arm was bent slightly backwards, and he was now sent into painful spasms. The council was suffering from the same thing, and Toph tried Bending a cable from her side at Yakone. But Yakone looked to the side and cocked his head, and the blind EarthBender dropped the cable as she started to spasm and groan in pain. He gave an evil chuckle and glared back at Harry and Aang, the former feeling unbelievable pain as his arms bent over to his back and the latter reaching out for him. The rest of the audience was writhing in pain as well, for Yakone has managed to BloodBend everyone without even using his hands.

Harry was horrified. He had never seen anything like this before; was this what BloodBending really looked like? Now that he was experiencing it, he did not want anything like this to happen to him or anyone else ever again. But Yakone wasn't finished just yet.

Aang tried struggling against Yakone's BloodBending as he reached his hand out in an attempt to grab Yakone. The BloodBender sneered maniacally as he had his palms upward and flexed his fingers. Harry saw Sokka look to the side to see Toph trying to fight the pain...but Yakone saw that too. He stared at her with deep concentration, and her hands moved backwards unwillingly to grab the keys from the cop beside her as she gasped in pain. She was then levitated towards Yakone, her hand outstretched with the key as she unlocked the crime boss's cuffs.

Yakone massaged his wrists and moved them around...and then he moved his arms up and clenched his hand as Toph and a cop fell unconscious. And everyone else did too. Harry was amazed to feel conscious still, but due to the pain, he wanted to faint there and then. Aang was still reaching out towards Yakone, who turned towards him and brought his hand up, levitating the AirBender upwards.

"Harry...teleport away...warn the family..." The Avatar struggled to say as he was brought forward. He grunted in pain as his arm was moved to his back and went on, "Yakone, you won't get away with this..."

"Oh, I will," Yakone sneered. "Republic City is mine, Avatar. I'll be back one day to claim it."

And when he saw the Avatar drop to the ground, Harry willed to be back at Air Temple Island. He had to tell Katara and her children that Aang was in danger...but he didn't know how to teleport as he said. He closed his eyes and kept hoping to be back at the main house of Air Temple Island, one of the bigger houses surrounded by forest trees.

Then...when he opened his eyes...there he was. He was back on Air Temple Island, at the pavilion Aang usually meditated at. The young ten-year-old was just feeling relief course into his heart...that, and he was no longer in pain...when he heard a familiar voice yell.

"HARRY!"

Harry flinched, but he felt a warm pair of arms wrap around him and hold him close. Katara then pulled back and demanded, "Harry Potter, where on earth have you been?! Don't you EVER worry us like that again!"

"I'm sorry," Harry mumbled, ashamed of worrying his foster mother. "I just disappeared."

"Disappeared?" The angrily worried look on Katara's face faded away to curiosity as she asked, "You mean as in how you appeared on our roof one morning?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah."

Katara sighed as her children joined her. "Thank goodness you're okay anyways. But what about Aang? And Sokka, Toph, and the others?" she added, looking anxious again. "Please tell me they're alright."

"It...was awful," Harry rasped. "Yakone was found guilty...and he used BloodBending on everyone in the court. Aang's trying to stop him, but he's caught...Sokka and Toph too."

"WHAT?!" Now Katara looked very worried for her husband, brother, and friend. "What're we standing around here for?! We need to get over there right-"

Suddenly, Kya ran forward, hugging her mother and saying, "No. Dad can handle this. Now come inside; we can make some calming tea for you."

Katara looked at her daughter in panic, but a calmer look from Kya made her heave a ragged sigh and look out towards the bay. The look on her face even said "I hope you're right". Harry did the same thing, praying for Aang and everyone else to make it out of there alive. If not, then Republic City would lose its Avatar...and he would lose the man who had become like his father.

Please Aang...make it back okay.

...

Aang! Wake up! Your family and the world need you!

The AirBender felt the wind blow his robes around as he woke up, glowing with the Avatar State. The glow faded and Aang was furious indeed. No one was going to attack everyone while he was around! He formed a swirling ball around him and rushed to the front door of the court room as it burst open and he zoomed off. Now was the time to find Yakone and finally bring him to justice before he could hurt or kill someone else.

He didn't have to take too long to find him, though. The carriage Yakone was riding in was making its way down an empty street, and Aang was hot on his tail now. He proceeded to move his air ball across the buildings, watching as Yakone looked to the side in shock, before he made elaborate movements with his arms and sent a blast of air towards the carriage. The air severed the reins as quick as a falcon's claws, and the carriage spuns off balance. The now-free ostrich horse kept running down the road, but the carriage fell on its side toward the ground and skidded a distance before grinding to a halt.

Aang neared the carriage, circling it and thanking the Air Nomad spirits that he caught up with Yakone. I did it...sort of...but the battle's not done yet.

All of a sudden, the door opened, and Aang let out a gasp as excruciating pain coursed through his body. Yakone had stepped out of the carriage, his arms upwards before he brought them in. Aang felt his body lurch forward and collide with the ground, groaning as he felt a slice of rock pierce his side. In the meantime, Yakone stepped fully out of the carriage and walked towards the fallen Avatar. He was glaring in hatred down at him, and he really looked like he had come from the darkest of pits to finish him off.

"This time, I'm going to put you to sleep for good," Yakone chuckled darkly as he loosened his collar and moved his arms quickly. "Your body will make a good present for your prostitute and your spawn."

Aang felt his body spasm once more and felt a sickening crunch in his chest, his arms contorting in an unnatural position. Yakone lifted his body upwards, looking up at the Avatar as his body slowly spun around, and his arms and knees were bent in very awkward angles. Feeling his wrist bend backwards, Aang let out a groan of pain, feeling his strength starting to fade away.

I can't do this...it's over...

You cannot give up, Aang...the world cannot lose you yet. He could have sworn that it was Roku's voice, the Avatar he had severed ties with when he was thirteen. I'll lend my strength to you...use it well.

And just then...just as Aang felt his neck begin to twist in a weird angle...he felt his eyes flash into the Avatar State. With an upward wrench, he broke free of Yakone's BloodBending while air was swirling fiercely around him. Yakone looked surprised and put his arms in front of his face to shield him from the wind, and that was when he was at his most vulnerable.

Aang then Bended a cone of earth around Yakone and contained him as soon as he reached the ground. The crime boss began struggling, but the Avatar placed his right hand on the middle of his forehead while his left hand was on the middle of his chest under the collarbone. With a deep breath and still feeling his past lives' power inside him, Aang looked down at him.

"I'm taking away your Bending for good," he murmured, remembering the same thing he had said to Fire Lord Ozai, Zuko's father. "For good."

He let out a sigh and let his arrows and eyes flash white, not hearing Yakone growl. He focused hard on the removing of Bending, delving into his soul and finding it inside. Aang recalled how he removed Ozai's Bending as he focused on stripping the enemy of the power he had abused. Finally, his arrows and eyes stopped glowing as he stepped away from Yakone; his Bending had been taken away.

"It's over," Aang panted slightly. "It's finally over."

He looked around to see several people come out of their homes and cheer for him, but he didn't have too long to celebrate. He felt his ribs ache and realized that one of them appeared to be broken from the fight with Yakone. At first, Aang considered calling a bison over to him, but he did not have the strength to pull the whistle out from his pocket. Just as he leaned against the side of a building and watched the remaining cops head to Yakone's unconscious form, he felt a hand grab his as he thought of heading back home.

Without warning, he felt the world spin around him almost to the point of fading. A few more seconds passed before he finally found himself on the ferry dock of Air Temple Island, shocked that he had somehow teleported all the way here. He looked around in time to see his family and the Air Acolytes heading to him, Katara's face full of relief and worry and Harry just trailing behind Kya and Bumi.

"Aang!" His wife had broken off from the crowd and embraced him, sobbing, "I'm so glad you're okay...what would we all do without you?"

"Argh...Katara...broken rib here..." Aang groaned painfully.

Katara quickly released him, kissing his cheek and sniffling, "I'm sorry...I'm just so glad you made it back...Harry told us what happened..."

Aang looked weakly at Harry, who was hiding behind Kya as if trying to hide. He smiled a bit and rasped, "Harry...thanks so much for alerting our family. You're truly one of us now."

Harry joined the Avatar's children in gently hugging him. "After living here for a few months...I saw that that's what you do in a family. You look out for each other."

"And we are the weirdest family I've ever seen," Bumi joked with a grin.

That comment made the crowd laugh, but Aang broke it off with a ragged cough. It would be quite a while until he went back to any rigorous training with Tenzin and the acolytes. But he was happy that everyone was safe from Yakone's evil grasp thanks to being de-Bended. As he was led to the healing room by Katara and another healer, he knew he hadn't thanked Harry yet.

It was thanks to Harry that his family learned that he and other people were in danger. It was thanks to him that Katara and the others got wind of what was happening. Aang had heard that his birthday was just a few months away since it was May, so a grand party would be the perfect way to pay him back for what he had done. Plus...as for that transporting thing...if Harry hadn't done that, things would have been much worse, and he hoped everyone including Sokka and Toph were okay.

When they made it to the healing room and Aang was laid out on a bed, he made up his mind. He was going to give Harry a surprise party when his birthday came.

To be continued...

...

Cody The Pikachu: There we go, everyone! The trial of Yakone is finally done with, and I hope I got some stuff done right. If not, then let me know, and I'll fix it. The next chapter will be when the two worlds will really become mixed together, and you'll see why.

I also hope you all had a great Valentine's Day, everyone. I used to not like the holiday ever since my ex-girlfriend and I broke up, but after Anastasia and I became a couple, I like it just a litte bit more. Sure we didn't get candy and some valentines, but we did get pizza, cookies, and drinks for wrestling night. That's something, right?

Read and review, folks! Anyone who reads and reviews will get a virtual pizza of their choice along with their favorite drinks and cookies. I allow advice, questions, and even constructive criticism as long as it's not harsh, but I do NOT allow flames. Flames will be used to heat up the fireplace at night...or they can be doused.

See ya next time!
