Harry Potter and the Gathering of Worlds

By James the Fox

"Finally, a new chapter."

Sora: "Took you long enough... lazy punk..."

"As a public reply to smx underground's question, yes, this offer lasts as long as the story lasts. The sooner they are sent, the more the characters appear. This chapter serves an ulterior motive now, and that is to introduce the first of the fan characters, by smx underground, (in a dramatic voice) RICO THE HEDGEHOG!"

Rico: "What the... why am I here?"

"smx has sent you here to appear here in my story!"

Shadow: "too bad for you..."

Rico: "OK..."

"Oh, sorry if I portray your character wrong. Now, on to the Fic!"


The next day, Shadow was introducing Sheru to all of his friends, including a red hedgehog in Gryffindor who went by the name Rico. "Sheru, eh? That's… an all right name… So, I hear you have Potions next, Shadow." "Didn't you have that yesterday? How's the teacher? Everyone seems to despise him." Rico grinned and said in his usual sarcastic way, " I don't see why, he's only Black Doom and Eggman put together!" The Mobians (A/N: I can't think of a different way to describe them.) in the area laughed at that. "But seriously, you do NOT want to be late by even a half-second, got it?" Shadow smirked, and replied, "Then we should get moving… In a minute!" Rico looked shocked for a second, then said, "Hey, that was something I'd have expected to hear from Sonic. Maybe a year away from him will do you some good." With that, Rico whipped out the red Chaos Emerald and muttered "Chaos Control!" A second later he was gone. Shadow smiled, and at everyone's startled faces asked, "What?" Hermione was pale as she exclaimed, "How did he do that? The Hogwarts wards are supposed to prevent any Apparition." Shadow stared at her like she had some sort of spider on her face, then replied, "Chaos Control isn't Apparition, it's… Ah, I'll tell everyone in the class I'm teaching, but we should really get going. Everyone make sure you're making contact with me, direct or indirect." After everyone did so, Shadow pulled outthe silver Chaos Emerald, used his trademark move, and everyone was gone.

Sheru was in awe when everything seemed to slow down around her and everyone else. "How… how is this happening?" Harry asked Shadow, who had a blue aura around him. "This is Chaos Control. Now, let's get moving." Shadow replied, walking ahead as if this was normal. Everyone was amazed to see that the second had on a clock the passed seemed to be moving at about the speed that a minute hand should go. Sheru was the first to see the connection. "Is time… did you slow time down, Shadow?" Shadow simply nodded as they walked into the dungeons outside Snape's classroom. Ron simply muttered, "Bloody hell…" as time started moving at its normal speed again and Shadow's aura faded. "Hmph. Amateurs…" Shadow sighed under his breath as he strolled inside Snape's torture chamber/classroom.

Snape was amazed at the potion that had been presented to him. Almost every Slytherin in the class screwed up the potion somehow, and yet this lousy Gryffindor elf had concocted a Magical-Boost-Drought better than even HE, the Potions Master of Hogwarts could cook up. He stared at Link, who was currently speaking with his new friends while they were packing up and preparing for their next class. 'This Link boy… he is completely new to this world, yet he made one of the most difficult potions for this year as if it were a simple pepper-up… How?' He would speak to that boy and if that didn't work, Dumbledore should know…

"Hey, I have plenty of experience making potions. Trust me, the potions from my world are VERY complex." Hermione was still trying to get Link to tell her how he got a better score than anyone else in Potions. Of course, Magical-Boost Droughts from this world were nowhere near as complex as the Revival Potion he had mastered. Oh yes, he's going to show this school what a truly hard potion was like… Taking care of Thestrals, however, was another story. It was unnerving to know that thestrals were invisible to anyone who hadn't seen death. And of course HE could see them… 'Let's see, how many deaths have I seen? There was Gannondorf, Vaati, Majora… and thousands upon thousands of monsters all over the Great Sea. Yeah, no deaths at all.' Of course, Sora was lucky. He got to leave class early to get his class ready. Lucky son of a Chuchu. Link sighed as several of the people from his world could also see the Thestrals. 'Will this class just end already? It's really bringing me down.' Just then, he could hear Hagrid dismissing the class. 'Thank the goddesses!'

Harry ran to the 2nd floor, wondering what Sora had planned. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a bunch of students and teachers alike waiting at the door. "What is taking Sora so bloody long?" Ron asked. "Setting three up." Sora said as he passed. He held 3 strange cards in his hand. Riku gasped at the sight of it and muttered, "Castle Oblivion… that's what he's planning…" Sora tossed 1 card each to Link and Shadow. "What are those?" Umbridge asked as Sora walked past her. "Modifications for the classrooms." Sora replied as he threw the card at the door. The card, to everyone's surprise, melted into the door, which transformed. The door was now dark blue with a gold star-covered edging. "This is powerful magic that alters a room. That card was formed from my memories, then altered. Go inside, and see what lies beyond the door." With that, Sora opened the door and stepped into the wall of light behind it. Bewildered, Harry entered and found himself in a whole new world.


"Sorry, but I took long enough getting this much up. Hopefully someone won't hog the computer so much."

Holly, my annoying sister: "Your fault. You were the one who introduced me to Harry Potter fanfiction."

Shadow: "Stupid mistake."

Sora: "Hey, it was nice of him, not stupid."

Rico: "Yeah, and Perfect Chaos is small."

"Shut. Up. Now. OK, I'm going to try to get the new chapter up ASAP. The next few chapters are what different people do during Sora's class, then Link and Shadow are teaching. Until then, have fun, and thank you smx!"
