Disclaimer: I'm afraid that my limited brain capacity would never allow me to produce such a wonderful concept as Harry Potter or the Power Rangers, nor would my finances allow me to buy them. Therefore, I regretfully state that I do not own Harry Potter, the Power Rangers, or any other characters that you may recognize. I'm not even sure if I own the plot.
Note: I'm assuming that you already know the basic story of Harry Potter from books 1 through 5, as well as general information about the Power Rangers (covering all seasons). If you want further explanations about anything, please let me know in a review, and I'll email you back.

Chapter Ten: Converging Paths, Part One
Somewhere in space above Angel Grove, California, U.S.A. — 3:15 p.m.:
Harry sat, chained to the wall in a cell, and wondered why these kinds of things kept happening to him. 'Maybe I did something terrible in a past life,' he mused.
"Look, green ranger!" Mondo cackled, pointing to a screen. "Your friends are being destroyed!"
"Yawn," Harry stated dryly. "All you maniacs are pretty much the same. Although I must say you're much better-looking than Voldemort."
Mondo was rather taken aback at his response. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, nothing of importance."
"Now will you give me your powers, or will you let your friends be destroyed?" Mondo asked.
"I can hardly give you what I don't have," Harry replied calmly.
"What do you mean? You are the green ranger; you carry the power of the green Zeo shard!"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I happened to leave that 'power' at home today," Harry told him. He cast a discrete glance at the monitor Mondo had placed before him and noted the absence of the green ranger. 'Where's Adam?'
As if to answer his mental question, a streak of light shot into the room, and Adam appeared, in his ranger uniform. Quickly, he drew his laser pistol and blasted the chains off of Harry before Mondo could react.
"Come on!" Adam ordered. Only too glad to obey, Harry jumped up and seized the other's hand. "Mondo, your security sucks," Adam added as he activated the device Billy had given him. Both teens teleported away, while Mondo screamed in frustration until his bolts threatened to come apart.
Adam and Harry landed in the Power Chamber. "Thanks," Harry said gratefully.
"No problem," Adam responded cheerfully. "You'll be safe here; I've got to go now. Be back in a little bit!"
"Good luck!" Harry yelled, watching Adam join the other rangers in battle. "And take care of my body!"

Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, London, England, U.K. — 11:15 p.m.:
"Locatus Harry James Potter," Remus incanted. Nothing. "Locatus Harry James Potter!" he repeated, pushing more power into the spell. Still nothing.
"Remus, you're just wearing yourself out," Tonks said gently. "Doing the spell over and over again is just going to give the same results."
"Locatus Harry James Potter!" Remus yelled stubbornly, ignoring her. "Locatus Harry James Potter!" Suddenly, a bright glow of magic erupted from his wand and jumped down to mark a spot on the Charmed map next to him.
"Hey, it worked!" Tonks exclaimed, startled.
"Go get Albus!" Remus ordered, bending closer to peer at the map. "Harry's in…California?"
"Professor Dumbledore!" Tonks called, running into the kitchen. "Professor, are you here?"
"What is it Nymphadora?" Dumbledore inquired, turning in surprise.
Tonks scowled briefly at the use of her first name, but merely motioned for him to follow her. "Remus found Harry, sir!"
"What? You found Harry?" Ginny cried, leaping from her seat. She, Ron, Mrs. Weasley, Snape, and Dumbledore all hurried after Tonks.
"You found something, Remus?" Dumbledore queried, picking up the map and studying it.
"Yes; he seems to be in a town called Angel Grove."
Picking up a quill, Dumbledore turned it into a Portkey. "Here. Tonks, Remus, go and see if you can find him. If you learn anything, come back and report. It's a reusable two-way Portkey; the activation word is 'Potter.'"
The indicated two nodded and took the quill. "Potter," Tonks stated, and they were gone.

Somewhere in Angel Grove, California, U.S.A. — 3:30 p.m.:
"I'm getting a reading on Potter!" Bellatrix Lestrange called to her companions. "If he was hiding before, he's out in the open now!"
"Well, where is he?" Malfoy demanded irritably.
"According to my Tracking Charm, he's close to the middle of the city. Let's go!" Bellatrix ordered.
Instantly, the group of Death Eater apparated, intent on finding and capturing Harry Potter.
