LW: Stuff to do, people to annoy! Peace out
Harry Potter Shinigami – Flaming Pure Heart
Harry's first week at Hogwarts actually went quite well in his opinion; he excelled in the practical side of his classes, most likely thanks to his experience with kido, with the exception of defence mostly just because he couldn't understand what the man was trying to teach them with his stutter. Something about the stutter and jumpiness un-nerved Harry, he like all others in Soul Society had heard of Aizen's act of being a dependable, loyal captain right until his betrayal and defection, but dismissed it for now as just being paranoid in a new environment with new rules.
Potions went far better than expected by Harry, though Snape was still looking at him strangely when he questioned the class he was avoided which was lucky as he only knew the last answer; this also had the added bonus of that creepy kid he now knew was named Ron Weasley look like an idiot and showing Hermione; his first living friend as the intelligent girl she was though it did make him wonder what would happen if you used a bezoar on Suzumibachi, not that anyone would be stupid enough even to attempt it. They then began making a potion and while he was sad Neville's exploded on him he was glad he was on the other side of the room as Ron got blamed for not trying to stop him. After class Snape stopped him and lead him to his office 'Harry, just so you know I hated your father, he was vindictive basterd and constantly harassed me my entire Hogwarts years. On the other hand I was your mother's best friend so if you ever wanted to know anything about her I'm here, it'd be nice to talk about the good times again' he said to Harry, the end sombre then joked 'I doubt your hear much about her in your aunt's place' but stopped at Harry's angry expression 'I don't live with my aunt anymore, not since I was 6' Harry fumed 'What happened?' asked Snape, Harry just stood there silent 'You died' it was statement not a question and Harry's head flicked up in surprise 'Yes, I died and was taken in by the woman who found me 5 years ago. I prefer it there, I have a real family, I have parents and a brother who care about me' Harry answered calmly. Snape looked on digesting the information before dismissing Harry but not before 'remember Harry anything, anytime, I'm down here' and watch the boy leave, once again alone in his thoughts 'You should've told him' came a voice 'What would be the point?' Snape asked her 'He would not feel alone, and you would not feel so out of touch' Snape sighed, shrugging off her bandages and began preparing for his next lesson
One thing Harry wasn't looking forward to was ... flying lessons. It may have just been because he was more used to it but he felt safer with his air walking technique, it felt and appeared to be a safer and more stable form of aerial transportation than a thin stick of enchanted wood; a feeling that was intensified when he saw the decrepit excuses for brooms they would be practising on. When Madam Hooch told them to call for their brooms Harry's was one of the ones that just rolled along the ground, until he got tired of it and pushed a large amount of reiatsu into the broom causing it to fly into his hand. Unfortunately today would not be nice and uneventful as when they were asked to hover and drop down Neville shot up into the air before crash landing a little bit away from the still unmoved first years. Madam Hooch immediately jumped into action, leading Neville into the castle 'None of you is to move while I take this boy to the hospital wing! You leave those brooms where they are or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say Quidditch' she called behind her as she dragged the boy through the door. Of course once she left this gave Malfoy a chance to be a dick holding Neville's Remembrall 'Look what the squib dropped, bet if the fat lug had squeezed this he'd have remembered to land on his arse, or maybe his head as it's not like it would damage anything' 'Shut it Malfoy' Harry growled 'No, I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find' picking up his broom and jumping onto it 'How about up a tree?'. Harry was annoyed, Neville was a nice guy he just lacked confidence he didn't deserve to be treated like this, he actually reminded Harry of a wizard version of Hanataro but that was something realised in hindsight and he wasn't really thinking right now, which explained him using shunpo and air walking to get to the brooms level. Draco smirked from high above the other students grinning arrogantly, until he was tapped on his shoulder. Turning around he faced an angry Harry Potter without a broom, the shock causing him to drop the Remembrall which was luckily caught by Harry. He then zoomed back to the ground in another burst of shunpo.
As it happened Snape was on his way to the greenhouses for several potion ingredients for his NEWT classes and saw the events and approached the class once Harry reached the ground 'Potter with me, now!' he yelled startling the other children as Malfoy landed 'But professor ...' 'Quiet Miss Granger, I just need to speak with Mister Potter, he will be returned to you momentarily' Snape interrupted then grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him away. Once in a secluded area he turned to the boy 'What the hell were you thinking boy? Just when I thought you'd inherited your mother's intelligence you do something like this' 'Well what would you've done, besides I didn't do anything wrong' Harry defended 'Really? Only 3 people here as far as I know are aware of spirits, how are you going to explain unassisted flight to the rest of them?' Harry had no answer to that so Snape continued 'Seriously, this is something your father would've done, showing off and acting like a complete idiot' 'Well sorry for proving you right but I never knew about my dad, unless one year olds have excellent memory' Harry snapped and Snape realised he'd crossed the line 'I'm sorry Harry, it's just you need to keep things quiet and I'm trying to protect you. This is new for me, actually giving a crap about anyone. We're both angry right now, go' He said before turning away, his cloak billowing as he headed back to the greenhouses.
Things were quiet until about Halloween, they were learning the levitation charm and some idiot had paired up Ron and Hermione, leading to a confrontation and Hermione showing up the idiot with a perfect cast, her feather then floating over to Harry's feather. It wasn't till after class that things blew up 'She's a nightmare honestly, no wonder she hasn't any friends' Harry who was a few paces behind them growled 'But what about Harry?' Neville asked trying to be braver, as well as not seeing anything wrong with her 'Oh he's just her friend out of pity' Ron answered viciously 'He'll drop her soon enough' His words were interrupted by Hermione shoving past him which also cut off the sniggers from most of the class. Harry was livid; he fired a Bakudō #1. Sai at Ron, causing him to lose balance and tumble down the steps then ran after the sobbing Hermione.
Stopping at the entrance to the girl's bathroom he banged on it 'Hermione' he called 'Go Away!' she yelled back 'No! Don't listen to Ron; he's and inbred moron with a single digit IQ [hint: it's between 0 and 2] and a mouth with no filter. I am your friend for real, not out of pity or anything else, because I wanted to be your friend that's it' Harry said and when he'd finished he noticed the crying had stopped. 'Really?' Hermione asked sniffling 'With my very soul' Harry answered. The door opened to show a red eyed Hermione (whoops) 'thanks Harry, now you go to the feast, I'll be down in a bit' Harry frowned a little but nodded 'Ok then, see you soon' and left. He'd come down and just began to enjoy his dinner when Quirrell burst in yelling 'Troll in the Dungeon' before fainting. Everyone started screaming and panicking while Harry's zoned in on one thing 'Hermione doesn't know'. When everyone was being led to their dormitories [Even the Slytherins, who are situated in the dungeon, just like the troll is supposed to be. I enjoy pointing this stupidity out whenever I can] Harry quickly separated and headed for Hermione, switching to shunpo when he heard a scream. Arriving at the bathroom he found the door in splinters and Hermione's screams continued.
Entering the bathroom he saw Hermione crawling under cubicles that were each being destroyed by the troll's club. Harry groaned wishing the teacher's would arrive soon but went straight to work; pulling out his pendant he pushed the concave area of his division's symbol, retracting his gigai within it then drawing his zanpakuto. He took a slice at the troll's leg but it barely made any damage on it's thick hide looking like it might as well be a paper cut 'Hm so that's what heirro's like' Harry thought realising he would have to use it 'Burn to Protect Junsuina kokoro moeru' [Flaming pure heart] Harry's sword shone with fire red retsu, growing and forming into a powerful great sword the guard forming two bolts of lightning with an emerald green hilt. On the flat section of the blade the kanji for its name [燃える純粋な心] was written down the sword. (In case you didn't guess Junsuina kokoro moeru's shiki form was inspired by the sword of Gryffindor). Harry then swung the sword easily yelling 'Tada no honō' {Flames of the just} producing dark green flames that attacked the troll. This still did little damage other than some first degree burns due to the troll's thick hide and the newness of Harry's shikai but did get his attention meaning Hermione was in the clear. Unfortunately that meant Harry now had an angry troll on his tail, leaving him with one last choice 'Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō' he chanted, encasing the troll in a ring of golden/yellow energy. Harry quickly grabbed Hermione and led her out of the bathroom, the troll trying, and failing to move from his bindings.
'Harry, what was that and why did you have a sword? Hermione asked before they reached the common room, Harry stopped and turned to face her 'You know how I don't say much about where I live or what my adopted family do? This is why. I can do things most people can't, like when I got Neville's remembrall back or just now when I took out the troll. If people knew what I am now they'd shun, fear or hate me' Harry said sadly. 'I'm assuming Snape knows' Hermione stated surprising Harry 'What? You did something that shouldn't be possible even with magic and Snape angry with you, though it didn't look like it was for doing it, it was for doing it in front of us, like it was some big secret' 'Yeah, he knows. He's known since after the potions class' Hermione nodded. 'So, are you going to tell me what you are or am I going to need to ask Snape or scour the library?' Hermione asked seriously. 'Fine' Harry said reactivating his gigai, having already sealed his Zanpakuto 'I am a shinigami'
Meanwhile the staff had finally found the troll still held by Harry's kido. Snape used an over powered banisher to smash the troll against the wall knocking it out before obliterating the kido 'I must commend the boy on his skill, a bakudō of that level strong enough to hold a troll is incredible' Snape said with a hidden look of pride 'Are you saying Potter did this?' McGonagall asked surprised 'You didn't tell her did you Albus?' Snape asked pointedly 'There wasn't much time or a reason to do so' Dumbledore answered 'What is he talking about Albus?' McGonagall asked 'About Harry Potter being a Shinigami' came the squeaky voice of Professor Flitwick surprising all of them 'What, goblins have known and at times work with Shinigami when needed, and my cousin Griphook made the mistake of trying to stop someone taking money from mister Potter's account. He told me he's a seated officer, 5th seat to be precise. That speaks of great power' his accounted happily. Snape and Dumbledore were speechless 5th seat at 11! Sure one of the captains looked around 10 (Shiro) and one of the lieutenants look 6 (guess who) but still, if he's that strong now, what will he be in a few years time? 'I must do something to keep the boy weak' thought Dumbledore angrily 'Lily what did you bring into this world' Snape thought worryingly as he heard laughter in his head 'shut it safiipfopab this is serious' and he left for his office as the other 3 professors levitated the troll out of the bathroom.

LW: Shikai, Snape, Dumbles plots, Hermione knows. That's the main point of this chapter, though not exactly in that order. Good luck.

Sakura Lisel:
He didn't, I think Dumbledore likes to appear to be the all knowing modern Merlin but I think he bluffs his way through about half of it. When his attempt to send Harry letter failed (I think it's canon you can't send mail to dead people... as in the owls just stand there) he immediately went to Private Drive and upon discovering it to be true contacted Yama because he hoped Harry had been purified (he'd have been fucked if all the shit the Dursleys did caused him to hollowfy, but they'd also be dead so that wasn't an option)
Even if Harry hadn't been adopted by Sakura and Szayel Dumbledore knew he had great magical potential and in turn he would have great spiritual potential (they're kind of the same thing ish, will eventually explain. Main thing is powerful magic can translate to powerful spirit energy/pressure when they die, that's one of the reasons few British wizards become Shinigami as Griphook said, most purebloods are weak as shit due to all the cousin fucking... I mean keeping the blood 'pure') so he wouldn't have been running around Rykonga he'd have been most likely found and recruited by some Shinigami to join the academy (still unsure how that works in canon... but they have to have some way to find potential Shinigami somehow) in which case he'd just have to convince Yama to let the boy come to the school and learn magic, after all what's 7 years to beings who could live over 1,000?
The last question is answered with the fact that Yamamoto giving Harry the choice whether to go or stay (and then making it his mission when he'd decided to go) threw Dumbledore expecting the man to just hand him over the boy (that might be the basher part of me speaking, but Albus has gotten used to people doing what he says when he says), but he hoped the possibility of getting to see the word his BIRTH parents lived in would sway him as well as give him a reason to save their useless asses from Tommy boy. He was lucky Harry's family wanted him to get to see that world and it wasn't as if he was far from them, literally a mirror call or Garganta/Senkaimon away. I'm unsure about the whole needing to learn to control his magic thing that sometimes is used as a reason for Harry to go to Hogwarts in these kind of crossover situations as I'm thinking if not in life (still unsure) then in death their magical energy merges with their spiritual energy, therefore he'd have control of both by learning at least some control when he was in the academy.
I hope this helps answer your questions, I normally just let the story flow in a certain way and it's nice to think about what might have been, after all that's kind of what fanfiction is ''What could've happened if this happened?'' or in my case ''How much shit can I cause with one little change?''
The guest that was a dick (Not that they'll see it): I find it interesting this story wasn't worth reading due to the pairing, but it was worth clicking it and commenting that it wasn't worth reading. Nobody is forcing you to read my stuff, plus in this case the pairing you have a problem with is stated on the outside so you didn't even need to click on it to know that Hermione will most likely be paired with Harry (not 100%, but most likely) so you could've just passed it like most people do when a story has a pairing they dislike. So really you just felt like being an arsehole.
Kalladin1989: Glad you're enjoying the story, hope future chapters interest you as much as the current ones.
