AN: I do not own Digimon or Harry Potter.
(Digital World)
Takato, Henry and Terriermon came out of the data stream underwater, they quickly swam up to the surface and gasped for breath as they climbed out of the water, Takato shook his head "Man this whole world is against me, I'm never gonna get back to Guilmon" Henry sighed "Come on Takato, don't give up, I'm sure we'll find a way out of here" Terriermon popped up to the surface and Henry grinned "Did you find an exit?" "No but I did find something else".
He pointed at the water and Harry's head popped up out of it "Hey guys, what's up?" they grinned "Harry!" he climbed out of the water and grinned "You're alright" Harry smiled "Of course I am" he held out his Digivice and Kotemon appeared from the flow of data "I have been back and forthing through this under water caves for days now, catching fish but maybe with three of us, we can think our way out of this one".
Takato looked around "Hey, maybe we can dig our way out of here?" Henry grinned "Good idea" he pulled out a card "Digi-Modify: Digmon's Drill activate!" Terriermon gained a massive drill on his head and he started drilling into the wall "You guys owe me huge for the headache that I'm going to get" Harry grinned "I'll give you a few fish as payment" Terriermon grinned "Good enough for me" he continued drilling.

All of the families of the Tamers where sat in a restaurant "What do you mean they're here and they're not here, just tell me where this 'Digital World' is and I'll go and get Kazu myself okay" James sighed "Will you shut up and let the man speak, honestly, you're worse than the children are" the man growled "What did you say?" James glared at him and he backed-up slightly "Quiet and sit down" the man sat.
"Getting there is not quite so easy I'm afraid" one of the mothers was crying "oh my little, poor Kenta" Takato's mother comforted her, Kenta's father placed a hand on her shoulder "He'll be okay honey, trust me or trust Janyu or trust someone I guess" he looked at the others "She's upset because Kenta left a note by the coffee pot, instead of saying goodbye" Sirius snorted "At least you had that, Harry apparently set off into the Digital World just after the attack by the large pig Digimon, our niece had to tell us".
The others winced at that, Lily sighed "it is in his nature though, he gets it from James, it's a hero complex that we can't break" James nodded "I still do it now" Aiko looked at them "Goodbye, well, I'm sure they'll be coming back" one of the other parents glared at her "What proof do you have of that?" "PEOPLE!" they all looked at Jeri's father "We could argue about this all day but Mr Wong here can explain everything, if you would just pipe down for one second".
Janyu looked at them all and walked over "I know this is a tense time for all of you, but we all want what's best for our children don't we? I'm pretty sure that none of you, except the Potters, even knew about the children and their Digimon partners before today, now, where did I leave off anyway?" "You were saying something about why it had to be…children, what does that mean?" one of Janyu's associates walked forwards.
"I'll explain that, I was one of the first ones who used to make Digimon, back in the 80's, when we programmed those earliest Digimon, we based them on those stories or dreams of our children and now it seems those creatures that we created have an affinity for kids, Digimon simply like children, I also think that the bond between the children and the Digimon is based on imagination and belief" James raised his hand.
"Yes Lord Potter?" James sighed "I have something to admit" he looked at them all "This doesn't leave this group" they all nodded "My wife and two brothers and I aren't from your world" he waved his hand and all of the tables lifted off of the ground before going back down "We were brought here by an Omnipotent being known as Death after our son, Harry, died at 18 years old, he was given the choice to come to a new world and start again, she reduced his age to 12 and sent him here and edited the memories of the entire world".
He sighed "So that you would all believe that we belonged here, she also brought us back so that he would have a family, the family he was denied in our other world, we have Inheritance Sheets that are never wrong, they cannot be faked, falsified or lied, so when you say you created the Digimon, that statement must be partially false" the man frowned "What do you mean?" James sighed and brought out the sheet "This is Harry's Inheritance Sheet, on it, one of his titles is Prince of the Digital World and his Aunt is Lady Gaiamon, a Digimon name".
James rubbed his chin "What I think happened is this, Lady Gaiamon implanted the ideas of Digimon into your heads so that she could start creating Tamer Bonds, with Digimon games all around the world, all children would want to be Digimon Tamers, then Digital gates would start opening in our world and Digimon and humans would start to bond" Jn Yu frowned "So what you are saying is that this was all orchestrated?" James nodded "Seemingly, that's what the evidence points to".
The Monster Makers frowned in thought "You know, Shibumi might know, he always said that Digimon were more than programs" Lily looked at them "Lady Gaiamon might have used him as her mouthpiece, projecting her ideas through a human" they looked thoughtful before turning to the other parents "You need a child's belief to open a gate to the Digital World" Rumiko stood "But how do we get that? I mean I don't know if I've ever had that".
Aiko looked at her daughter "You'll have to find a deeper belief or we may never see Rika again" Remus frowned "You all might be in luck" they all looked at him "What do you mean?" he looked at them all "Before Harry died, he had just won a Civil War between the man who killed James and Lily and the other side who were fighting for peace, Harry is a war vet, his instincts have only sharpened since his death and his power has grown, with him there, they have a much higher chance of coming back alive".

Terriermon broke through the wall and water started pouring out "Digi-Modify: Frigimon's Sub-Zero Ice Punch activate!" Terriermon's hand changed into snow hands and he punched the running water freezing it and blocking the hole, Takato went into his pocket "I wonder if we have any more cards we can…why not use this?" he pulled out the comm device, Henry shook his head "No way" "Now who's being negative".
"But it's all wet" "It's worth a try" he started clicking buttons and it turned on, he saw an E-mail and opened it "No way" "What? "Good news" all three quickly read the message I'm glad you're alright. Good Luck. Yamaki, Harry smiled "Maybe he's not so bad after all".
(The Real World)
Babel looked over them all "We'll try and get in touch with the other programmers on the project" he turned to Janyu "Janyu, we'll try to keep you informed of our progress" a voice came from behind them "And I'll be glad to help too" they turned around to see Yamaki, Janyu walked over "And how do you propose to help us?" Yamaki lifted a laptop "I've got something here you might be interested in".
"Does it have to do with Juggernaut? That's what we saw in the sky yesterday wasn't it? Even after everything that has happened you plan to use it again, don't you?" "That was an accident" Yamaki walked past him and over to Takato's father, he placed the laptop down next to him "Here, take a look at this" the man looked at it "Hey, it's from Takato!" all of the parents murmured "he says he's fine. He says they're all fine".
Janyu looked at Yamaki "How did you get this Yamaki?" "Well before they left, I gave them a gift, my comm device" "Can you talk to them right now?" Yamaki started typing and sent a message to Takato "I'll tell them we're here" Takato's father blinked Wait, they sent an SOS".
(The Digital World)
Takato looked at the screen "There's an answer" "What's it say?" "Let me see" he paled "Holy cow!" Harry and Henry looked at him "What? What's going on?" "All of our families are there, every one of them, all of them want to know how we're doing" Harry held out his hand "I'll do this part Takato, you send your part, Henry can do his part and I'll do the rest, I don't want you slipping up" Takato nodded and quickly typed his part, he handed it to Henry who typed his part before handing it to Harry who quickly started doing everyone else's parts.
Henry walked over to the water, Terriermon walked over to him "What's wrong?" "I'm just wondering how the Comm Device worked whilst it was all wet" he picked up the water and let it fall from his hands before turning to Harry "Can I talk to my dad for a minute?" Harry nodded and handed Henry the comm device.
(The Real World)
James and Lily read Harry's message Mum, Dad. Sorry for worrying you but you know how I am. I made it back to the others safe and sound. Tell Padfoot that if he starts another prank war with Mooney that I'll transform into my Digital form and lock him in a ball for a few hours. Tell Rumiko and Aiko I said hi. We found Ryo and are planning on bringing him back with us but you know how he can be. Love ya. Harry James snickered "Oh he knows you too well Pads" Sirius pouted at him and everyone laughed.
Janyu frowned "What does he mean by Digital form?" Lily smiled "Well, most beings in our world had the ability to transform into an animal, rare members of our kind were able to transform into multiple animals, some mundane, some magical, I think that Lady Gaiamon also gave Harry a Digital form due to him being her nephew, so he has three forms" Janyu nodded before blinking as Henry started sending a message.
"What is Henry saying?" "I'm not sure yet, I think he is writing a novel" the message came through and Janyu read it over twice before blinking "Hmm, it might work, I believe that it is entirely possible" he looked at Harry's parents "Is belief a big part of how your energy works?" they nodded "Belief is one of the most important parts, if you believe it can be done, magic can do it" Janyu nodded and started typing.
(The Digital World)
Henry blinked before looking at Harry "Harry, does your magic work in this world?" Harry froze before sighing "My parents told yours?" Henry nodded and Harry nodded "it does" "Can you save us from drowning, even if we aren't likely going to drown?" Harry nodded "it is entirely possible; I could do so as long as I believe that I can" Henry nodded and rushed over to the water and jumped in "Henry!".
"Momentai" he was down there for 95 seconds before he resurfaced, he swam over to the side and Takato helped him out of the water "You sure had me worried, you were under there for a long time, are you okay?" "It worked great, here, touch my hair" he leaned down and Takato ran a hand through his hair "Woah, its dry" Harry smiled "So this world works on a belief system, I'll have no issues with this then".
