HP/SAO x-over
Asuna/Kirito HP/Argo
True to Asuna's word, Harry had just touched down in Brussels. The moment he touched down he jerked awake. He grabbed his bag from the overhead container and headed down the stairs of the plane.
He looked around and sure enough he saw Andromeda standing off to one side. Harry grinned, accompanying her were four Japanese Aurors, their wand/swords concealed with a genjutsu. It was a simple illusion it made the wand/swords look like truncheons and the robes to look like stab and bullet proof vests "Potter-san, shall we be off?"
Harry nodded, he closed his eyes and extended his senses. He then he felt them "Out the back, turn left and then we apparate to the designated apparation point of the Belgian Wizarding Ministry and then to the Headquarters. We are being followed, can't tell nationality but definitely talented combat wizard."
The female auror with him, extended her own senses "Spanish…Doesn't like his job or mission…prevent you from attending. Doesn't know what you look like. Only has old photo of you."
Harry smirked "Like taking candy from a baby. Let's be off, this is a waste of time and as the Goblins say 'Wasted time is wasted profit'." With that they headed out of the concealed magical door, this one was a Western World spell, it actively repelled those of non-magical skill.
Harry sighed, he changed so much. He had been amazed at the European style of magic but quickly came to despise the way the countries were run and how prejudiced they were to people not of the correct 'lineage'. He much preferred the Asian style of magic, which was equally flamboyant and catchy as western but the concealing spells were much more elegant. They could be broken by anyone who possessed sufficient determination and had a spark of magic. The restrictions on magic were also different, what the Asian Magic Powers considered dark were not applications of a spell but rather the after effects of the spell on both target and caster. However, magiks that flaunted the natural cycle of life and tempted to summon higher powers were classed as illegal, this included time travel. If Hermione tried to get a Time Turner in Japan, she would have been followed by an Auror for the foreseeable future to ensure she was using it responsibly. What set the Asian Magical Communities and Western Communities apart were their views on the unforgivable curses, the Europeans blanketed them as illegal but the Asian Communities examined the applicants on a case by case basis and more often than not the cruciatus curse and imperious curse were the ones normally allowed to be dispensed. The cruciatus curse was normally by medi-wizards who specialised in Cardiology and the imperious curse used by Psychiatrists.
Harry pulled on a robe over his shirt, jeans and shoes "Let's get this done." Just then his phone rang.
"Harry speaking."
"Its Asuna…Kazuto called. He wanted to tell you that you're being tailed. Something about making a profit on SAO."
"Another thing to deal with when I get back. Tell Kazuto to keep up the act."
Harry hung up. He turned to Andy and his security detail/ wardens "Apparently I'm being observed something about profiteering when people lost people due to VRMMORPGs."
"Are you going to stop?"
Harry snorted "Lord no. If I need to I'll shut it down from RECT and reboot it with an American Company."
They apparated twice and finally arrived in the Headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards. The Asian Powers had representatives but they only attended because they needed to. However, they had an axe to grind and this was going to be fun.
The British contingent were present, what made Harry smirk was the presence of one Draco Malfoy. "Are you sure Potter is not here? Excellent…We can get this case thrown out."
"Scared Draco? Once a runner, always a runner." Harry said as he entered the atrium.
Malfoy looked up and his pale sharp almost ferret like features turned grey, as standing there in front of him was none other than the subject of the case. "Potter…you have some nerve coming before your superiors like this."
"Superiors? I doubt that Malfoy. Tell me, how the aurors that you sent after me? Oh yes, dead or brutally maimed…Now, what was the plan? Disarm me and subject me to British Justice at Wand Point? Let me tell you this you can drop fucking dead because I will fight you over this bullshit."
Before the Minister could respond the doors opened and everyone began to file in.
The court was for a better term chaos. Insults were thrown, wands and threats were drawn but the consensus was Britain had to pay the Japanese Magical Government 6.5million Galleons in reparations for the mass damage they caused to the street where Harry was staying.
Malfoy and David Bulstrode, the new British representative at the ICW would have argued but they had been strong armed by the rest of the Western Magical Powers…Contrary to Malfoy's censorship on international relations, Britain had next to no allies…Actually they had no allies.
The court was let out and the moment they left, the British contingent acted "Shoot to kill." One of them called.
Harry's senses went into overdrive, he felt the build-up of magical energy. His escort felt it also, their wands were in their hands "Andy, go…I'd rather Edward has his Grandmother…We'll be on your tail."
Andy nodded and with that she was gone. Andy would take twelve jumps before using the thirteenth to land in Harry's spare room, which was also her Grandsons nursery/bedroom.
Meanwhile on the steps of the ICW; Dawlish had just completed his decompression hex when it slammed into a brick wall. Harry stepped around the wall "Kimen no Bakuen!" Harry roared.
His wand exploded in a bright white blast of fire as basically Harry called up his 'Pressure Bomb' wind battle hex and the 'Intelligent Hardwork' fire battle hex, fused them together and pointed in Dawlish's general direction.
Thankfully for Dawlish and Malfoy, they were still on ICW property and the wards around them absorbed the majority of the combined hexes but little did the pair know until nearly three months later the duo had been given a serious case of sun poisoning and heat poisoning.
Harry was released from his community service early and immediately he returned to his work. The Dresden Files was going from strength to strength.
The book material turned into full on DLC's were becoming major hits and the critical reviews of the game were continuously improving. It was slowly in the eyes of the people, especially the gaming community that it was reaching up with the Witcher 3; one of the best games to grace the gaming industry.
RECT reputation was beginning to increase. Although it had been on the rise since Harry had vouched for the company pleading that they knew nothing of the trapped prisoners. But with Harry and his team providing 99% openness with the remaining 1% being concealed as secrets on the game.
The best of the DLC's was either Fool Moon or Grave Peril. Even though Grave Peril gave more to the Undercity, White Court Vampires, Red Court Vampires and or the chance to become a holy magic user with select few being able to become either Blackened Denarius or Knight of the Cross, oh and it allowed for interactions with the Fae. The best one was Fool Moon as it allowed for widespread access of Therimorphs; werewolves, werebears, loup-garou etc.
Soon enough the Game Awards were coming around and surprisingly RECT had been nominated for Best Company, New Game and a host of others.
(Meanwhile at the Ministry of Internal Affair's Telecommunications Bureau, Advanced Network Division)
Harry walked down, his temper raging, his magic boiling away. As he entered alarms began blaring and several people wearing suits and carrying a variety of firearms rushed out.
"Freeze, hands in the air. Weapons on the ground."
Harry snarled his magic surrounding him and in shock and awe it began to morph into armour "Everyone stand down."
Slowly the guns were holstered as Seijirou Kikuoka or Chrysheight; A rather talented Undine magic user and one of the few that had become a Battle Healer, the best one happened to be Asuna.
"Ah, Potter-San…This is unexpected."
Harry snorted "I was only coming to make an appointment…"
"No need. No need. I'm free."
Harry found himself sitting in front of an impressive aged oak desk "Why are you investigating me? Why are you using Kirigaya Kazuto to do it? Give me a damn good reason not to go public with this?"
The look on the Government Man's face was one Harry would relish. He turned pale and then ashy grey "You…wouldn't!"
"I would…Now, come clean."
Seijirou nodded "My superiors thought you were to be observed due to the fact that you released a game into a type of industry that was on its knees. We asked Kirito-kun to investigate. Evidently he bottled and told you."
Harry smirked "Slightly pissed at that. Smart though using one of my underlings, but hurtful…Hurtful about the fact that you needed to investigate me despite the fact that I have been completely open in my workings save for things which are concealed by company policy."
"We need your help…Somethings happening in the VRMMORPG world and we are woefully, woefully unable to stop it."
Harry sighed "We have an idiot killer in one of the many free online VRMMORPG, yet you are trying to scapegoat me correct? Furthermore to get evidence for you to contaminate and for you to effectively control me like a dog on a leash, you use a friend of mine to do such a thing, correct? Now you're observing him in case he does something? So, I came to make an offer."
"I…Have an idea. On what it entails." The man said weakly. The moment the meeting had begun, he had his boss listening. Harry knew it and shrugged, as quick as the Ministry man was here, Harry was pretty sure that he was quicker and that this guy would not be able to walk off a room explosion.
"I want you to call off your infiltration. Be square with me and Kazuto-kun and we'll be square back. You want Kazuto to investigate this VRMMORPG; however I need him to assist me in a very profitable game."
"Dresden Files? A few of my colleagues play. I must say it is impressive."
Harry grinned "That's only a fifth of the content material…So yeah. I need him. You will pay him for his assignments and me."
Seijirou Kikuoka gulped. He had a feeling he had just made a deal with the devil but maybe it wouldn't be so bad, especially if his superiors didn't bungle this up. Harry had just given them a beneficial relationship. Now, they had two of the best VRMMORPG players investigating the world of Bullets.
