AN: I know about misspelled words or wrong words used. I did try to fix that after uploading the last chapter but it didn't keep the changes I made so I'm going to try and catch them before each update. When I am reading i automatically correct the misspelled stuff so i don't always catch them when writing.

Chapter 4
August 1st 1995 Summer's Rest Kyoto Japan
As the children were leaving the large room one of the school staff could be heard giving directions to gather up in groups to follow a guide that would show them around the facilities and dorms. It took them a little over an hour to finish the tour and that was only showing a small part of the entire place as there was basically a small city that they would have to learn to navigate after the first few days when school starts.
Harry was looking around at the other children to try and guess their home country of origin. Je spots a shock of frizzy brown hair and guessed that it was Hermione Granger, making his way to stand next to her as she was looking around. "You know that this all will be here for a long while so you don't have to see everything right now." he says when he gets close enough.
She squeaks in surprise and whirl around to face him. Once she saw who was talking she smiles brightly then she tackles him into a tight hug. " Harry." she squeals. "We wanted to make it to your birthday party but our flight was delayed so we missed it, Mum and daddy said we will be going to your house after we are done here, I can't wait to see Ivy , she's just so cute and sweet mum said it's a miracle that nobody has gotten cavities just from being around her." She stars rattling off as she releases him from her hug.
Harry laughs as she steps back. He felt a tapping on his shoulder and turns to find River behind him with a small smile on her lips. "Care to introduce us?" She ask as she looks to Hermione.
He nods and introduced them to each other. Hermione and her parents would spend summer breaks in Japan and would visit with his family, her parents while born outside Britain were like his aunt and uncle victims of the old man giving out magical bindings like candy which Summer removed just before the Dursley's had moved to Japan then she had invited them to take the courses now it was Hermione's turn.
Dudley and Sona made their way to them and received their own Hermione hug which caused them to weez out greetings. As they were catching up on the past year apart a girl with strawberry blonde hair along with a boy with sandy blonde hair came up to them to introduce themselves and join the tour group, Right behind them stood Minerva McGonagall who had her customary stern but care filled expression.
Harry was the first to notice them, he waves to the boy and girl then seeing Minerva he smiles and calls out to her. "Tabbyma I didn't think we would see you until classes start." he says while he rushes to give her a hug. Minerva laughs a soft laugh then she leans down to return the hug.
"I shall be your guide for this tour after a few more children come to find me. Other than Sona you six will be going to Hogwarts in 2001, two more are to join us while other children that are also going to Hogwarts have been given to professors Sprout and Flitwick along with the other few professors that teach at Hogwarts as well to lead their groups." she said just as a set of twins with shockingly bright red hair joins them.
Just as Minerva starts to introduce the children to each other, two girls make way to them. While both seem to share features other than their hair they could almost be twins as well. One is blonde while the other has black hair. "Umm professor Flitwick said his group was too big, so we volunteered to come to this one." the blonde said shiley.
Minerva nods then gets on to the introduction's. "Alright children first I am Minerva McGonagall and am a transfiguration professor both here and at Hogwarts, with us are Harry Potter, Dudley Dursley, Hermione Granger, Fred and George Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Susan Bones, Tracey Davis, Daphne Greengrass and River Song." the pure blood children gasp at Harry's name, they all knew of him and had all been told that he was a squib. While Harry was looking at River.
She shrugs and smiles at him as he mouths 'Doctor Who?' her smile grows into a grin. She then turns to look at the others who were confused about Harry Potter having magic.
Harry seeing their faces came up with an excuse off the top of his head. "When we were attacked somehow I used so much magic to protect myself that they thought I was squibbed, then those people threw me out for no other reason than thinking I had no magic." he is practically growling before he finished speaking.
Dudley, Sona and River reach out and put a hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down while Minerva knowing that isn't the full tale nor accurate it is close enough to the truth, she lay her hand gently on top of his head. Hermione has tears in her eyes as she rushes and hug's him, this causes everyone to smile and shake their heads.
"No more about that for now we need to get the tour finished or your families will have to come looking for us half way through." Minerva says pulling them all out of the melancholy thoughts completely.
She led the children around the school grounds explaining how the school would be in greater detail than the person who gave the orientation speech. Hermione seemed to be going into a daze as each thing was explained. Even at five almost six Harry could see the brilliant mind she would have and knew she would take any classes she would be allowed.
After a two hour tour Minerva led them back to the main building to find a stall for drinks and snacks set out to tide the children over until dinner. The parents came trickling in to gather them and to leave for the night. They would return in the morning to begin school, this night was for administration to finish their own work.
As Vernon and Petunia approached them Minerva lay a hand on Harry and Dudley's shoulder. " Remember boys in classes I am professor McGonagall not Tabbyma." she tells them with a stern face, they nod as they look to her with fond smiles.
In perfect unison the boys say. "Yes professor Tabbyma." causing her to sigh as they laugh. Minerva smiles despite trying to keep a sterner expression. The Weasley twins are off to the side laughing at the slight prank pulled on her.
After arranging to meet up with everyone in the morning, Vernon and Petunia get the children ready to go to Yasaka's to retrieve Ivy and then home, the Granger's had already left and would be at the Dursley's house after an hour and a half.
After saying the goodbyes everyone left to get home, picking up ivy from Yasaka's turned into a chore because she wanted to keep playing with Shirone, but as she was trying to get them to leave her Kuroka came up to them and knowing Ivy well she hugs her.
" You know Shirone will be starting her own training in a little bit, do you want to train with her today?" that was all it took to get Ivy calmed down,and everyone else laughing.
They had just gotten home, with Sona staying the night to save Yasaka from having to walk her down the stairs in the morning, when the Granger's had arrived. After dinner the children all spread out and began to play until bedtime.
The next morning was the same as the one before where Ivy pounced on Harry and he tickled her, before going to eat breakfast. River had dark circles under her eyes while Hermione who had slept in Rivers room also had dark circles under her eyes she seemed to be happy with something.
After breakfast Harry pulled River to the side with an amused look on his face. "That girl is so hyper about going to school that she kept getting up every half hour to make sure we didn't leave her, that and she wanted to know every second of my life and the reason I am now living here. I was tempted to hit her with a sleep spell." River said while tilting her head toward Hermione, which causes him to laugh.
The Granger's had slept in a guest room for the night, Hermione had given Harry a journal as a belated birthday gift, after packing their bags as they would be acting as guardians for the children this session and also opening a dental as well.
Time skip July 30th 2001
The last few years has been tough but also fun for the children, the school had to expand after his first session because of the number of British children were coming out of the woodworks.
Harry, River, Dudley, Sona and Hermione had taken as many classes as they could outside the core subjects rune's, alchemy and arithmancy on the magic subjects and computer programming, engineering, chemistry and the new subject that mixed magical and mundane technology known as technomancy they carried all these classes and will be making mastery this summer session.
They are also ready to complete their martial disciplines in both hand to hand and armed combat. They all chose swords and bowmen ship. One of the most important things they learned was wandless magic, even knowing they couldn't use it at Hogwarts in the open they still learned for when they may need it.
Harry and River were restless today as at midnight his system would activate and Harry would be taken into other worlds to run the beta test for it and to see if it can be used with other new gamers. And she could not travel with him this time.
They went through the day as normal as they could, to keep the family from worrying. River had decided to try and distract him by getting Dudley and Ivy into a prank war with Harry, as the home was registered as magical and the Dursley parents being some prominent people in the area kept magical investigators from coming to the house when they started using magic on the pranks. Even Vernon got in on the pranks by causing the children's clothing to become clown suits and makeup, Petunia could only sigh and go behind them and clean up any mess.
It was a few minutes before midnight that River came into Harry's room to sit with him until it was time, just before the clock struck midnight she leaned against his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek. "Try to stay out of trouble please, I will be extremely mad if you come back and tell me you ended up almost dieing on me. I'm not going anywhere until you get home so please hurry. She says with a hitch in her voice.
As the clock first struck midnight Harry seems to flicker before the second strike. He looks around seemingly looking for trouble, once he sees River he lunges at her pulling her into a tight hug his face is in the crook of her neck. "I missed it here, you are so going to be pissed at me." he says while he keeps hugging her.
She tries to pull back from him but his grip does not let up. "Sword art online." was all he said but when he did she stiffens up. "It was my first world and I just woke up already logged in." he sniffles a bit. "If I ever get the chance I will go back there and find that man and rip him to shreds. I watched so many people lose their lives for some stupid reason." He finally let's her go to look into her eyes.
He then told her of his many adventures, with each time he told her how at one point or another he came close to dieing she would have to hold herself back but she is extremely happy that he survived it all. "The funny thing is at the end I went to two worlds that I didn't have anything to do."
Flashback
With a flash of light Harry appeared in a small grove of trees, he slowly makes his way out of the tree's to find himself in a park. He looks around for any clue as to where he is until he spots someone that causes him to gasp, it was a man that looks like him only older and there was three children with him so at first he thought he was in the future until he got a sense of the children, they were powerful and the power rolling off of the man made him feel like moonlight compared to the light of the sun.
He stays back until the man sits on a bench as the children ran off to play on a jungle gym, slowly Harry walks and sits beside the man. "Children huh i think im a few years away from that myself but they look happy." he said as he sat.
The man looks at him out of the corner of his eye, then he looks back to the children. " Just a bit young yeah I'm sure it will happen one of these years for you. "The man says with a hint of humor.
"Though I must ask you who you are or when you are from if it's a time thing going on here." he says while watching the children use some abilities to levitate other's around.
Harry nods at this as he could understand that this is a strange situation. "Harry James Potter at your service and I am guessing it's where im from, not when." at his name the man stiffened a bit then nods.
Watching the children in silence for a minute Harry smiles at the thought of having children of his own. "Well kind of Harry Potter, Dumbledore caused some things to happen and the soul that was supposed to be Harry didn't make it and I was given his place because of an accident before I could pass trough the rebirth cycle, I was also given a system and am on my way home but for some reason I am here, I don't know why yet." Harry says while fiddling with a string on his pants leg.
The man nods. Yeah that didn't happen to me so it's a where. You know what I think is that thos just may be something to give you a future to look forward to." he says while gesturing twords the children.
" Biological daughter adopted daughter and niece. And they make all the days brighter every minute I can spend with them." he said with a smile that was filled with love and pride.
There wasn't much said after that as they watched the children playing with each other. After almost twenty minutes Harry heard a ping. His eyes go unfocused for a moment as is je is reading something. After a minute he smiles and nods.
"Guess I did something that was supposed to do so I can go now, but first." He held his hands as if grasping something, then a clear box appears between them. Inside the box is a silvery layer of something over what looks like water.
He holds the box out to the man. As the man takes it looking curiously at it. "Transformium, drop any kind of metal into it, the mother pool will eat it then birth a programmable copy made from whatever kind of metals you feed it. Don't take the mother pool out of there and it's safe if it is taken out of the box it will try to convert the planet into a fully mechanical world."
As he said this Harry holds up three bricks of metal over the box. "Saronite, titansteel and elementium." He then let's go of them and they slowly fall into the mother pool, after a few seconds the bricks seem to turn into liquid and then that falls into the bottom of the box.
Harry then reaches into the box and through the mother pool.
"It won't eat organic matter so as long as it's in the box it's safe. He says while swirling his hand in the new transformium, as he pulls his han out it clings to his hand.
" I don't know if you have these metals and don't want to cause trouble with them so ill keep this bit but anything other than the mother pool is safe to handle, also sometimes an egg like thing may form if one dose form they hatch great familiar's."
After saying that and putting the liquid metal into a flask he pulls from somewhere Harry fades from view. The man looks around then to the box and the puts it away somewhere then he returns to watching the children.
Unknown location
After a brief flash Harry finds himself standing on a street corner. He looks around as people walk by as if nothing was out of the ordinary for someone to just appear.
As he is looking around he notices a coffee shop with some powerful ward's that made him feel that who ever owned the shop didn't want anything to happen to it.
Walking to the shop he stops just at the edge of the ward's, looking at the make up of them he feels a shiver run from the top of his head the bottom of his feet, if he had just tried to walk through them he would end up as a charcoal briquette and nothing from his system would be able to save him. Raising a hand he makes a fist and like knocking on a door he knocks the ward's and waits for someone to answer his knock.
After a minute or two a young woman with silver hair dressed in a maid outfit comes out of the shop and approaches him, he could see the caution in her eyes as she looks him over.
"At least you have manners, unlike some supernatural beings that come through this town." she says as she stops a few feet from him.
Harry nods slowly with a slight smile. "Teaching from my aunt, uncle and Tabbyma, I'm afraid they were strict about manners, also I would like for the same for anyone who comes to my home or work place for a visit." he said while looking at the ward's. "Plus I like breathing so knock and wait for a reply."
She smiles at his response then her eyes go vacant for a second and then waves him into the shop. "So long as you don't act violently you are welcome, become violent and you either get thrown out by the ward's or you die." she said as calmly as if talking about the weather.
Understanding her meaning he follows her into the shop, he looks around the inside was beautiful and the space was used to be both comfortable and still hold many customers. He saw a few other girls dressed as maids, then did a double check when he saw a Pokemon dressed up as well. She saw him stop and followed his eye line. "They are the owners familiar's. Even if they are small they are powerful and deadly when provoked." She said catching his attention.
He nods then spoke. " If any of them are psychic type please let them know to keep out of my mind, I have mental barriers that would even shred a gods mind and I don't want them to take it as an attack." he said softly. "Too many secrets that aren't mine alone in here." he said tapping the side of his head.
She nods then kneels to speak with a Pokemon he could not identify, receiving a nod from it she stands and starts to lead him to an open table but as they pass a table with a young man sitting alone he stops as he feels so much power from him it feels almost exactly as powerful as the man he had spoken to just a while ago.
"Mind if I sit with you for a bit?" Harry ask getting the man's attention who's eyes widen when he looks at Harry's face, his eyes briefly dart to the faded scar, then he waves at the table.
"You aren't supposed to be here so far as I know it's just the supernatural world here, I haven't heard anything about the hidden conclaves like your people like to live in." he says to Harry while looking him over noticing his healthy looks and strong build.
" Then again you do look different than you should so I guess it's possible just not sure I want to get into that. I have to much trouble out of the locals but who knows someday I may run into your type." he finishes speaking while calling back the silver haired maid and ask for a refill and then looks to Harry who orders a coffee.
Harry points to himself. "Reincarnated with a gamer system, it's a long story but basically I took over for the soul who was supposed to have this body, the system is a beta test for someone and will go on standby when I get home, which is where I was supposed to be but came here for some reason I haven't found out what it is yet." Harry then looks around the shop. "And you're not so different than myself, I see at least three people who are not supposed to be in the same world. And the Pokemon as well, when the young lady told me they were familiar's, so I'm going to go out on a limb and and say something similar happened to you but that's not i don't really have to know about it." Harry said as he added some sugar and milk to the coffee ahe took a sip.
"Something different yes, I think it was a lucky chance that brought me here truthfully but I have for the most part loved my new life." the young man gestures out to the shop. "I had this place built just because one of my girlfriends wanted to give it a shot and now it's one of the most popular shop's in town."he says with a gentle smile." The fighting can be a rush but it's things like this where building something for others to help with their dreams, that's where I get some of my most enjoyable times."
Harry's eyes go unfocused for a few seconds before a smile grows over his lips. "And that's it I think, I guess I will have to not only keep myself busy but help someone I care for to see their dreams come true." he says as he drinks some more of his coffee and seems to be thinking about something else.
Harry then sets his hand on the table in front of himself, a glow shines from underneath it afte a few seconds he lifts his hand to reveal a marble that was glowing with the light of the rainbow. "A gift for a fellow traveler. The Regal Gear is not like the sacred gear from that anime this is a seed for the Regal Gear you can allow to gather dust or allow your system to take it in and when it blossoms you can give a gear to anyone you choose, it has two functions, one is a weapon suited for the host, two is armor. Once the host reaches a high enough proficiency with it they can use both wepon and armor at the same time." he says then drinks the last of his coffe and stand's. " Always have fun and hopefully you will have a long and joyful life." Then Harry fades from view leaving some money on the table as well as the Regal Gear Seed.
The young man picks up the marble and looks at it and shrugs, the marble then disappears from his fingers. "May be useful sometime or may not, I'll have to think about it." he says as he returns to what he was doing earlier.
Flashback Ends
Harry again hugs her as he finished telling his tale. He then lean's back a bit and smiles a crooked smile and waves a hand, a blue transparent window appears beside them.

This list went on giving dozens of other skills and abilities but Harry closes it and looks back to River. "That took a long time to finish and several dozen world's. Some were peaceful and I just went on adventures, even became a famous adventurer a time or two, I did it solo except for the Sword Art Online where I had to party with people for the bosses and let me tell you that those things were ridiculous." he says with a tired voice.
River could only hold him as he spoke, as he seems to be lost in the past for a few moments. She kisses his cheek when he falls silent.
"Well at least you came back to m...us and you learned some things that can be useful here but we can talk about that later." she says as she gently pulls him to lay down to sleep. After a few minutes he is snoring softly, she lets go of him and tries to get up and leave but Harry's arms hold her in place. She smiles at him then relaxes in his arms then she kisses him again and falls to sleep herself.
The next morning with the Ivy alarm system going full blast with jumping up and down on Harry's bed and telling them she was going to get their breakfast as usual. And as always Harry pretends to not want to wake then he grabs her and begins tickling until she says she is about to pee herself. Even with the time spent in the school aged them mentally it didn't stop them from acting their physical age's.
Being Harry's birthday everybody was in good moods as they are for each person's birthday, today was going to be a fun day as it also announces that Harry is reaching a big day for magical children it is seen as a sort of coming of age as it shows they are ready to learn new skills, although he and the other children have been going to the summer school for years eleven still mark's a step in their lives.
The party was a blast for the children and the adults gathered to watch the kids playing. After several hours of playing and having fun all around the children had to be rounded up when it was getting late and time for those not staying the night to get ready to go home.
" Alright everyone it's just about time to call it a night and don't worry kids you will all see each other tomorrow at school." Vernon calls out the back door of the house. This causes the children to whine but they still started cleaning up the toy's and trash around the yard but this chore was made easy with the use of magic.
The next morning was a rush as everyone in the house were getting ready for the trip to the school, unlike the first day the returning students and teachers stay at the school that day under a short time dilation in certain areas for testing and turning in projects some children would have been working on between sessions.
Harry, River , Hermione, Dudley and Sona each had projects to turn in some of which were for their masteries on some of their classes.
When they arrived at the school they ran off to catch up with their friends from Britain the Weasley twins were found offering candies to the younger students but all knew not to accept anything without scanning it first which amused them just as much as the children who didn't know not to accept. There were many small animals dashing around in panic around the twins who were laughing their heads off. Neville, Susan, Daphne and Tracy were off to the side watching with bemused expressions.
"Would anyone else like a sample of our greatest work's?" one of the twin's ask while the other one held out a box of candies. Both had almost maniacal grins covering their faces.
" Alright you rapscallions, that's enough for now. If you don't get a move on you will be late for your presentations and I for one do not know if I can endure another session teaching you here." Minerva says as she walks to the group.
"Yes oh great Tabbyma." they say in unison, after Harry and Dudley had done it on the first day the twins had taken to calling her that as well. Getting a scathing look from Minerva they ran off laughing twords the office they needed to be at.
Minerva turns to look at the children with a twinkle in her eyes which let's everyone in the group know that the twins were in for a interesting year.
" I hear you five will be doing a connected project turn in today and I will be there to watch it so be on your best behavior." she said as she lay eyes on them. She then looks to Neville, Susan, Daphne and Tracy smiling. "And you four as well will be finishing some masteries also. I look forward to seeing what you will be doing." she says then turns to follow the twins.
"You know I think those two are going to have to keep on their toes this session. Tabbyma dose not really mind them calling her by that nickname, especially after that potion explosion that killed their mother, older brother and youngest siblings while they and their father were here the first year, they were like lost puppies the first few weeks when they came second session."Harry said to River and the rest as they watch Minerva walk off.
They all nod at his word's. While standing and waiting for time for their presentations they catch up with one another. Harry and Neville were talking what house's they'll get into once they get to Hogwarts when Harry was hit by a blonde missile that went by the name of Luna Lovegood, as he was being hugged he heard a grunt off to the side, Neville was just hit by the cherry blonde missile named Ivy.
Groaning the boys tried getting to their feet, Luna is talking a mile a minute as she talks about one of the trip's her mother and father took her on to look for a rare creature that they didn't find but she had fun none the less. While Neville was asking Ivy why he got the tackle hug.
"Well it looked fun and Did is too far away." she says while pointing at Dudley who was only three feet away from Neville talking to Sona and Daphne about what extra classes they may take to fill a few empty time slots.
"Wow that's a really long way away isn't it?" Neville ask getting giggles and laughs all around. When he finally got to his feet he finds Luna's mother and father standing not far away watching the kid while talking to Vernon and Petunia about something.
After about thirty minutes a silvery spectral cat came bounding up to them. "Alright Harry, River Dudley, Sona and Hermione it's time." Minerva's voice came from the cat then it fades from view.
Harry and the others wave and head off to the room to turn in their projects and give a personation if needed. Once in the room and handing over the research papers they had on their projects. Harry is called out first to present what he has done.
"Our projects can work in tandem." He says waving his hand to the others. "But we each have come up with something that we think will be helpful both here at the school and out in the world." he holds up a clear crystal with lines upon lines of runes carved into it's top and bottom facets.
" Tabbyma can I get your help with this?" he ask looking over his shoulder to Minerva.
Minerva makes way to his side while trying to keep a straight face. Once at his side he hands her the crystal. "Hold it on the palm of one hand while putting your thumb and pointer finger on the runes then chanel magic into it." he tells her.
Minerva nods and dose as he said, after a few seconds the crystal begins to glow, Minerva pulls her fingers away when the crystal get warm. After another minute the glow fades and on the place of the crystal is now a three inch cat girl with feathery wings.
"I have called these Nav pixies and as you can see they take on portions of the person's animagus form." Harry said as everyone else is looking at the pixie with awe. He then coughs while holding up a piece of fabric that he pulled from his pocket and held out to Minerva while trying not to look at it as it is naked.
She takes it and transfigures it into a lovely summer dress, she then smiles at Harry while she gets the pixie to put it on.
"They can act as an assistant of sorts, I remember when we made it through the first half of our first summer we kept getting our classes mixed up so I came up with the idea and have worked on this for the last two years and here we are." He finishes then looks over to Ragknock who sometimes sits in on these things to scout new business. " Seventy thirty split, get the paperwork to uncle Vernon, I was thinking of asking the Greengrass family to sell them out of their shop in Britain." Harry says while getting a nod and smile from Ragknock.
Ragknock so enjoyed the students from the school they knew how many goblin's think and that they hate waisting time.
Each child presented something that left them all stunned, River show's a Manor trunk that has a living space, library and biome that was much larger than any of them had heard of.
Hermione show's a simple looking pair book but it is proven anything but simple one could be placed in a personal library and the other carried by the person and they could bring up any of the books in the library but it has to be inside the library of the Manor trunk.
Dudley and Sona shared their project The show a watch with several capabilities The first was a communication mirror that could be tied to a network, the second was another function of the mirror that could expand and receive television or cable signals so that the owner could keep up with their favorite shows , last was a recorder for health and emergency transport to the closest treatment facility and vocalizes the condition of the patient to a registered healer.
Each of the children offer the same as Harry did to Ragknock who is off in his own world thinking about what these children have come up with and offered his nation. 'These children will make millions with these items.'
After the children leave the room the people left look over each report and research data and can barely believe that these children came up with these ideas. They all gave the children a pass for their masteries in charms, transfigurations, runes and arithmancy. Because some of the things written were beyond masters.
AN: please review or comment to let me know how I'm doing also I know I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew so I may work it out in the next few chapters. have fun and see y'all in the next chapter
