The Red Wizard

By SilverHoodedKitsune

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long note but here we go!

I pounded this out to make up for the delay and shortness of the previous one. It is a bit of a more normal chapter length for me. I'll be going back to the two-week posting schedule so I will see you all on Halloween.

Also I will state that this is a fanfic that I do for fun. It's meant to entertain and that is all it is for. I wrote a scene in this chapter for fun and a bit of a snub to someone. Props if you figure out who lol.

Another thing is the amount of PMs I get about how wizards are super weak. Get that idea out of your head as I have thrown all the power levels out the window. A normal Wizard or Witch would be around the same power level as a low ranked devil (think pawns). The other power levels of the beings in DxD have also been changed and will be shown later in the story.

As for Issei. He will be in the story. I know a lot of people are mad about it but its my fanfic. He was the original main character of DxD, and I will be including him. I have him as a plot point and a bit of comedic relief as well as a bit of a punching bag. As the story goes on you will see less and less of him. Yet he is important for my overall plot outline as vague as it is.

Also another point I feel I need to address. I briefly mentioned in one of the earlier chapters that Sirius talked about how each of the three factions screwed over the wizarding world. They are hidden now. Not just from muggles but other supernatural beings as well. They disappeared with the witch burnings. This will be further explained in future chapters. That is one reason Harry has not told anyone as well as why he also did not want to be reincarnated. Again I will explain later on. I know people have pointed out my flaws in this story, but most are intentional.

This is obviously a Harry Potter and Highschool DxD Crossover story. I do not own the rights to Harry Potter nor Highschool DxD. I'm just having some fun playing in the Wizarding World and the DxD World. Please support creators by purchasing their work. Also, everyone depicted is of age. Cheers.

Also I have an account on AO3 with the same Username and Story titles. Just in case this ends up getting deleted for whatever reason. Also more of the lemons are posted there.

Warning: This story involves violence, mentions of darker themes and unconventional relationships (i.e. Harem) yet is consensual with those involved. The story will also have dark and juvenile humour.

The Red Wizard

Chapter IX: FNG or Magical Girl

The group of six stood outside of an abandoned observatory on the southern part of the Kuoh Valley. The place had been abandoned for more than twenty years and had become a bit of a party area for high schoolers and collage kids in the last few. There were a number of empty beer bottles as well as party cups and crisp bags around the place.

The building probably had once looked nice with its stone columns that reminded Harry of ancient Rome. The archways were of similar design and with the massive dome roof almost anyone would recognise it as an observatory. Yet the majesty of the place had lost a lot of its charm and appeal due to suffering the elements without any maintenance as well as the same party kids spray painting the walls.

Harry could feel a presence inside though. The power was there as well as an allure to explore the place. Yet when they had first teleported in, about a mile away from the actual building, Harry had felt a darkness. The feeling had grown stronger the closer that they went to the building.

Now just outside of it and Harry could feel the taint of the dark arts. He had felt it enough times when he was apprenticing under Master Tanaka and travelling with Sirius. He hated the taint. It made his skin crawl and his magic always wanted to burst out.

"So what is a stray?" Issei asked as they had all teleported and walked towards the building in silence.

"A stray devil." Kiba said.

"Huh?"

"They are a devil that has gone rogue or rebelled against their master." Kiba explained.

"They also succumb to their own desires and greed." Harry added. "Without some willpower they are doomed to become monsters."

Rias had turned to them and flashed Harry a grateful smile for adding that information. With his words perhaps it would bury itself in Issei's mind so he would not share that fate.

"We have been ordered by the archduke to annihilate the stray devil, Vizer." Rias told them. "Tonight, Issei, I want you to stay with me and observe the different powers of my house. You'll see how each one does battle and how they work together."

Rias then turned to the others and nodded. Harry, Koneko and Kiba dashed towards the building and slipped inside. Slowly coming in behind them was Rias, Akeno, and Issei.

"Whoa! I see boobies!" Issei cheered as he looked ahead to see Vizer peeking out from behind a fallen pillar. Her innocent face and naked torso gave the impression of a defenseless young woman. Then she smirked and her façade was broken. Her once gentle and gorgeous features twisted and wrapped. Her mouth split and the corners reached to her ears and showed off a mouth full of fangs. Her ears changed into sharp horns and her eyes became fully red. She then rose off the ground. She was huge in height and length. She glared down at them with her demented smile. Issei thought she looked like a horrific cross between a centaur and a spider. She let loose a roar and Issei covered his ears.

"What the shit!" Issei screamed.

"Told you, monster." Harry said.

"Do you know the game chess?" Rias asked Issei, she appeared unaffected to the beast in front of them.

"Yeah?" He asked confused.

"Good." Rias said. "To turn a human into a devil requires artefacts called the evil pieces. These evil pieces are based on chess pieces. All of them share the same appearance and the exact same number on the chess board. "

"Ok?" Issei said.

"Now watch Kiba." Rias said as the blond-haired boy seemingly disappeared.

"Whoa! He's gone!"

"No he is just moving incredibly fast." Rias said. "Kiba is my knight, and the piece grants him enhanced speed. What makes a knight deadly is placing a blade in their hand and combining it with said speed."

Issei watched as one of Viser's arms fell off and Kiba reappeared behind the monstrous stray.

"Koneko you're up." Kiba said.

"Kay." Koneko said as she stood in front of Viser without a care in the world.

"Raahhhhh!" Viser roared as her grotesque form changed and her belly contorted which opened up to have a mouth. The mouth then ran down into her spiderlike lower body. The mouth opened wide and lunched towards the small girl.

"Koneko!" Issei yelled yet it was too late as the mouth swallowed Koneko whole.

"She's fine." Rias said as true to her word there was a crack. The mouth then was forced open as Koneko stood inside, unharmed. "Koneko is my Rook. Her abilities are absolute strength and defense."

As if to demonstrate Koneko picked up the stary and tossed her into the air.

"Harry."

With Vizer helpless in the air Harry rushed in from above.

"Promotion! Rook!" Harry yelled before he hammer-fisted her with his scared gear from above. Vizer was sent hurling to the earth. Her landing caused a small crater under her broken body.

"Harry is a Pawn." Rias told Issei. "He has the ability called Promotion. It allows him to take on any traits of the other pieces as long as he is in enemy territory."

"Akeno!" Harry yelled. As he tagged her in.

"Oh Goodie!" Akeno raised her hands that crackled with lightning. "Time to bring the pain!"

A massive yellow bolt of lightning crashed through the ceiling and struck Viser. The already groaning stray started screaming as the lightning fried her.

"Akeno is my Queen. She has a perfect blend of all the other pieces combined. She also is really into S&M." Rias warned Issei.

The dark-haired girl was flushed as more and more lightning rained down on the stray.

"She's getting off on this!?" Issei asked.

"Yeah, it's a little disturbing." Harry agreed with him.

"Akeno that's enough." Rias said as she walked towards Viser.

"Ahh. I wasn't done yet." Akeno said with a pout.

"Viser for your crimes you are sentenced to death. Any last words?" Rias asked her.

"Fuck you."

"Be gone." Rias then raised her hands and there was a demonic scream as her black and red power of destruction vaporized Viser.

"Whoa." Issei muttered.

"Well what did you expect from the Princess of Annihilation?" Kiba said.

"That's her name?" He said.

"Apparently." Harry said.

"Well that's all done. Time to head home." Rias said.

They all nodded and exited the ruined building.

"Wait what am I?" Issei asked.

"What do you mean?" Rias asked.

"Am I a knight or a Rook? Something badass like that?" Issei asked hopefully.

"You're a Pawn." Rias said and continued to walk.

"But I don't want to be a Pawn." Issei whined.

"What's wrong with being a Pawn?" Harry asked him intimidatingly.

"NOTHING!" Issei shouted and raised his hands in defense.

The others all laughed as Issei still feared Harry after the Kendo Club incident.

-Line Break-

"Harry, could you take Issei with you to teach him how to do a contract?" Rias asked of him.

"Uh sure?" Harry said as he entered the club room. "I don't have any summons tonight though."

"I know but Koneko is double booked again, and I was hoping you could take it and show Issei what to do." Rias explained.

Harry looked at Koneko who nodded to him with a smile.

"Ok sure." Harry turned to Issei. "Lets go."

Harry summoned a magic circle and waited till Issei stood beside him and then they both disappeared.

-Line Break-

Harry was banging his head on the window frame of the club room when he and Issei had gotten back. Rias had asked how it went and Harry had immediately walked to the window and started banging his head. Issei looked embarrassed and didn't meet anyone's glaze, his shoulders were slumped in defeat.

"I take it that the contract didn't go so well." Rias said as the others in the room kept looking between Harry and Issei. Harry paused in his head banging and then opened a magic circle underneath him and disappeared.

"Umm did he just run away?" Kiba asked.

"Looks like it." Akeno said.

Koneko just glared at Issei.

"What happened Issei?" Rias asked.

"Umm…" He stared at the floor and his eyes darted to the door.

"Don't even think about it." Koneko said as she cracked her knuckles.

-Line Break-

Harry returned to the club room later that night. He had gone home and taken a shower to help relax him after the way Issei had acted. His hair was still wet when he teleported back in. He immediately saw that Rias was standing by the window were he had tried to smash his head through.

"You're back?" Rias said.

"Yeah." He said as he joined her at the window.

"I'm surprised."

Harry took a deep breath. He could smell her perfume. It was different then the subtle one that Koneko wore but he still liked it. There was a smokiness to it that just suited the redhead.

"Did Issei explain what happened?" Harry asked as he looked up at the stars.

"He said that you both arrived in the middle of a gay orgy." Rias said with an amused smile.

Harry sighed. "No we didn't."

"Oh?" Rias said in confusion.

"It was a party." Harry explained. "It was a party for gay rights. A gathering to help get support for passing a bill for equal rights for gay people around the world."

"Are you homophobic?" Rias asked him.

"What! No!" Harry turned to her in shock. "I'm not homophobic or trans or anything. I believe that a person can be whatever they want and have the freedom to be themselves as long as they don't hurt anyone else. I might be the odd one out here, but this shouldn't be an issue to begin with. People that hate for no reason are the ones with the problem. If it doesn't involve them then others that are against those beliefs need to take a chill pill and find themselves a hobby. Everyone has the right to live their lives without fear."

"Well said." Rias said. "So what happened then?"

"Issei happened."

"That bad?"

"Lets just say that there were a few dressed in cosplay and from the back they looked really good. Issei being Issei put his foot into his mouth and hit on them." Harry said.

"Did they take offense?" Rias asked worriedly.

"Oh no! The opposite." Harry said. "They were all over him. They loved how forward he was."

Rias giggled envisioning a terrified Issei.

"As he was being fawned over, I spoke with the client and all they wanted was fireworks display which I did end up providing but Issei had broken his limit and freaked out at the guys. He went on a bit of a rant on how he loved oppai and that there was no way he could have found any of them attractive. He made this huge scene as they took away from the event. Then to make it worse was the cosplayers were dressed like magical girls but built like body builders. Well they ended up crying and then got a bit physical with Issei. I ended up having to rescue him from an ass kicking even though he did deserve it."

Rias was surprised and was torn between laughing at Issei and wanting to slap him.

"I apologised to the event coordinator and ended up giving the work away for free." Harry said. "I have never been more embarrassed in my life."

"I'll go and speak with the client about it." Rias said. "As well as speak with Issei. He'll be on flyer duty for a little longer I think."

Harry nodded and sighed again. "I hope it wasn't too bad."

-Line Break-

The next night Harry was summoned to a new client. He appeared in a small apartment that was decorated in pastel pinks and blues. At first, he thought he was in a little girl's room until the deep booming voice from behind him made him jump.

"What's the 4-1-1, girlfriend!"

Harry whipped around to find Milton-chan. The same magical girl cosplayer that was at the gay rights event the night before and one of the guys that was flirting with Issei.

"Milton-san?" Harry asked to confirm.

"Oh! You remembered!" Milton shouted with glee.

"Of course." Harry said. "Kind of hard not to forget you. Also I need to apologise again for my partner and his horrible behaviour."

Harry gave him a low bow.

"It's not your fault, sweet cheeks!" Milton waved him off. "Its water under the bridge."

"Thank you." Harry said gratefully. "I am curious though. How did you get my summoning flyer?"

"Oh that? I'm friends with the event manager and asked if I could have the contact info for you and your friend." Milton said. "I was then told who and what you are."

"Oh good." Harry said. "So what can I do for you?"

"Mil-tan wants you to make her into a real magical girl! Just like Miracle Star Levia-tan!"

"Mil-tan?" Harry asked.

"That's my desired name, sweetie."

"Ok Mil-tan it is." Harry said.

Mil-tan squealed in delight as Harry accepted everything so easily.

"What exactly does, or can your magical girl do?" Harry asked.

"You don't know?" Mil-tan asked.

Harry shook his head and was dragged to the living room to watch Mil-tan's favourite magical girl show called Miracle Star Levia-tan. Harry had a feeling that he knew the main character. The girl looked extremely familiar to him. Still he spent the evening watching the show, which was really good, and Mil-tan pointed out what she wanted to be able to do.

Harry watched as Levia-tan would twirl her magical staff or wand then yell out a spell. Harry almost laughed at how similar it was to the wizarding world. Wizards would wave their stick in patterns and then shout the name.

He was reminded of Ron and Hermione in their charms class in first year. How Hermione had corrected Ron and then showed him up by completing the spell before anyone else. He smiled a bit melancholy at the memory of his first friends. It had been a long time since he had written them and even longer since he had seen them.

The last time he saw them was the summer before their fifth year. Sirius had taken him back to Britain to visit while Sirius himself took care of House affairs. He had Andromeda as proxy within the Wizengamot as Sirius taught Harry along side Masters Tanaka and Yamamoto. He had visited Hermione first and had gifted her books from around the world. Many spells in them were not taught at Hogwarts. She had been thrilled. The Grangers were good people too.

Then after a week there he had gone to the Burrow. He had shown up at the doorstep on Saturday with Sirius. The Weasleys had been overjoyed to see him. Ron hugged him tightly and the twins had immediately pranked him. They had played Quidditch out in the orchard and spent the week laughing and joking around. Sirius had joined in some. They were nearing September when everyone had gotten their schoolbook lists when another had arrived for Harry. Shocked he read that they expected him on the first September.

Sirius had been furious and had burnt the letter with Molly Weasley complaining that Harry should get a proper education. Sirius had almost blown up at the woman. Yet he held himself back. He had declared that Harry and he would be leaving the next day. When they had said their goodbyes the next morning Dumbledore and Fudge had arrived with an entourage trying to get them to stay. Sirius had expected it and the press and lawyers arrived shortly afterwards.

Sirius had stated that the ICW had Harry being trained with the greatest wizards in the world. Apprenticeships under masters in their fields like Nicholas Flamel. The papers had a field day with the news. Fudge and Dumbledore really didn't have a leg to stand on.

Sirius and Harry had disappeared again, and Sirius swore they would not return until Harry was certified. So far that was the case.

Harry smiled though when the credits rolled on the final scene of the Miracle Star Levia-tan. Mil-ton turned to him and asked if he could do that.

"Hmmm…" Harry thought. He could enchant a staff for Mil-tan and train him how to use it. Yet that would violate the statute of secrecy that the ICW had. Harry threw that out the window. He then thought of his devil magic. He had been slowly experimenting with it. It was very versatile magic, yet his own wizard magic could overpower it. He was still waiting for Sirius to come to see how a duel between the two magics would work. Yet there was a major drawback in his current situation. You had to be a devil to use devil magic.

That brought him to his last and probably most likely solution. Magician Magics or sometimes called Mystic Arts. They were a type of magic created by a human called Myddin. The human version of Merlin the wizard. Myddin was a human that summoned devils all the time in the late 800s AD. He had studied devil magic and from it created Magician Magic. It was far weaker than both Devil Magic and Wizard Magic. The bottom of the three with Devil being in the middle and wizard magic being the most powerful.

Harry had wondered at the power difference of the magics before and had asked Master Tanaka about it. Apparently, it was all to do with survivability. Wizards and witches lacked the physical powers that devils had. So wizard magic had been developed to be more powerful to enable wizards a fighting chance against Devils as well as Fallen Angles and Angels.

The weakest magic and the one any human could potentially learn. He could do that for Mil-tan, but he would need to get in contact with an old friend.

"I can't just change you into a magical girl." Harry said and Mil-tan was on the verge of tears. "But!" Harry quickly said.

"I can teach you magic."

"YES!" Mil-tan screamed and grabbed Harry's hands. "I'll do it!"

"I'm not going to lie, Mil-tan, it's going to take a long time and it's going to be tough." Harry warned.

"Mil-tan will move a mountain if that's what it takes, Sugar!" She said excitedly and struck the Levia-tan signature pose. A sideways peace sign with a wink over the shoulder.

"We will need to meet once a week for training and then-"

Harry got into the specifics with Mil-tan and wanted to know what she wanted to be able to do first and then start with those. They would move onto more stuff as time went in and if she still wanted to do it. Harry promised her that she would know a minimum of five spells. Harry left the small pink apartment in the early hours of the morning. And headed straight home.

-Line Break-

Harry entered his bedroom without turning on the light and stripped off his school uniform. He then crawled into bed. As sleep was just about to claim him, he jolted and shot out of bed as something touched him. Light flooded the room and the thing in his bed groaned.

"Koneko?"

"Harry, turn the light off." She groaned.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he extinguished his lumos spell.

"You took too long." She said as she leaned up in bed. She was wearing one of his shirts again with her shoulder exposed.

"So you snuck in?" He asked.

"I am a devil." She smiled at him. Then she pulled the covers back. She was clearly inviting him back to bed, but Harry's eyes went to her creamy legs that were on full display.

He crawled in and settled himself before she snuggled into his side. Harry did admit to himself that it did feel nice. She then leaned up and kissed him gently on the lips. "Goodnight, Harry."

"Goodnight, Koneko."

-Line Break-

Harry and Koneko walked to school in the morning together and arrived together through the front gate. The students that saw them immediately started to whisper at seeing them together. They had held hands on the way for a few blocks before letting go the closer they got to school.

There was this weird unspoken rule that the two of them had. Neither wanted their unique relationship to become common knowledge. Both knew that there were fan clubs at the school for each of them and a few students had shipped them after the motorcycle ride. Yet no one ever really approached them. Out of both their fans only Katase, Murayama and Levy approached Harry and talked to Koneko. The same could be said for the Great Ladies of Kuoh, Rias and Akeno. Then there was Sona and Tsubaki that again people worshipped yet never approached.

Still the noise and jealous looks were sent their way as they walked in and headed for the main school building. They parted ways when Harry walked towards the student council office. He had arrived early in order to catch up on his paperwork. As an unusual perk of being on the student council in rare cases the students could leave class to attend to council matters. Harry was going to take full advantage of that perk to get ahead on the mountain of paperwork that Sona had piled up for him due to spending more time with Rias due to his contracts and the incident with Issei.

Harry used his magic of occlumency to speed read all the reports and paperwork. He powered through the stack while his English class was in session. He had already informed his teacher that he was needed to complete a task of the student council. He finished in record time and then headed to maths class.

After class Harry returned to the student council room and started working on the next stage of his sports festival. He was busy writing up the next draft of the rules and the start of the round robin selections when he was tapped on the shoulder. He jumped and fell right out of his chair.

"Sorry, Harry!"

"What the hell!" He gasped as he slowly picked himself up. Tsubaki was standing beside him while Sona was just behind her queen.

"Relax, Harry. We were just checking on you." Sona said. "I am surprised to see you here and working so hard."

"Uh thanks." He slipped back into his chair. "What brings you two?"

"We're here to collect a proposal for the swim club." Sona said.

"Even though it is now your jurisdiction as sports director." Tsubaki told him.

"Hey I know!" He picked up his paperwork and waved it at them. "I'm working on the final draft of the festival. Besides I went and met the swim club and they never brought anything up."

"Its for the cleaning of the pool." Tsubaki said.

"It's a normal seasonal request to have a restock of chemicals and a pool drain with deep clean." Sona said. "The next one usually takes place during summer break."

"So a ways off." Harry said.

"Yes, but the chemical order takes forever to be delivered." Tsubaki told him.

"Good to know." Harry said as he stored the information in his mind palace for future use.

"So how is it with the Gremory peerage?" Sona asked as she took a seat at her desk.

"Its good." Harry said. "I'm way too busy with duties there. Also Issei has caused me no end of trouble for me as well as Rias."

Sona smirked. "Rias told me about the other night."

"Well then you know." Harry said with a depressing sigh.

Tsubaki smiled in amusement.

"Would you rather spend more time with us?" Sona asked.

Harry paused and looked at her for a moment as he thought about it.

"I have been spending a lot of time with Rias and the others lately." Harry said. "It would be nice to spend more time with you."

Harry smiled his infamous lopsided grin at the both of them. Harry turned back to his paperwork and missed the matching blushes on both Sona and Tsubaki. "Though I do have a bit of an issue with contracts right now."

"Problems?" Sona asked. Rias had told her that Harry was excellent at completing contracts as if he had done them before.

"Yeah, I have the one with Koneko which is far from being done and now last night I have a contract that will need weekly summons in order to complete and that could take months. Then add on that I need to figure out a schedule to spend my time with both of you equally and then do contracts for you and then balance the student council on top. Ragh!" He roared in frustration at the end. Then he slumped onto his desk with his head down.

He then felt a pair of hands grab his shoulders. He expected to be pulled back into his seat properly but then someone started to massage his muscles. He moaned in appreciation.

He turned his head slightly to see Tsubaki rubbing his shoulders. He hadn't realised how tight his muscles were until she started to massage him. She kept at it for a few minutes until his shoulders relaxed.

"Thanks, Tsubaki that was awesome!" He said and the girl blushed.

"You're welcome, Harry."

He was going to say something else, but the bell rang, and he sighed before standing up. "Back to class, I guess."

-Line Break-

After school Harry headed to the club. Rias had asked him to stop by early. He entered to find Rias behind her desk and no one else.

"Hey Rias." He greeted as he walked up to her desk. She seemed to have spaced out. He then spoke louder this time. "Yo, Rias!"

The girl blinked and turned to him. "Oh, sorry. I guess I spaced out of a bit there."

"That's not like you." He said.

"Too much on my mind." She said then changed the topic. "I need you to take Issei with you again and show him the ropes."

"Again?" Harry whined. "You remember what he did last time?"

"I do. It was a disaster, but it did get you a regular client." She said. Harry reluctantly agreed. Mil-tan was now a weekly client.

"The one I have lined up is one of Koneko's usuals. They are an older couple that get the whole new devil thing. I can trust you and them in treating Issei right."

"Then why can't Koneko take Issei to them?" Harry asked.

"Cause I need Issei to focus." Rias told him. Meaning no girls to distract him.

"What about Kiba?" Harry begged.

"He is double booked tonight I'm afraid." Rias said.

Harry then narrowed his eyes at Rias. "Is this a trick to get us to spend more time together?"

"Whatever do you mean, Harry?" Rias asked cluelessly.

"Yeah right." Harry said. "You know we both don't like one another. Forcing us to spend more time together on contracts isn't going to magically make us best friends."

Rias went to open her mouth, but the others had all decided to enter the room at the same time.

"We will talk about this later." Harry whispered to Rias.

"Fine by me." Rias said.

She welcomed them all.

Harry walked over to Issei. "We got a client to see. Please don't muck it up like last time."

Harry was already making a magic circle as Issei stepped up next to him.

"Oh and boys!" Rias said. They both turned to look at her, "Whomever makes the contract will get a reward."

Harry rolled his eyes as Issei got all giddy. They disappeared in a flash.

The teleportation was short, and Harry knew that they must have been close to Kuoh,

Harry looked around and found the room dark. Unnaturally dark as his enhanced devil eyes couldn't properly see. A chill ran up Harry's shine and then he smelt it. That metallic scent. Iron. Blood. His danger sense went off and he grabbed Issei.

"Duck!"

As both boys ducked and quickly dove behind one of the couches. A bullet had fired and would have hit Issei in the head if Harry hadn't pulled him down. Harry dragged them to cover as more bullets rained down at them. Issei cried out in pain as a bullet had hit him in the leg. Blood poured out and Issei yelled, "It burns!"

"Stay down." Harry ordered as he tried to peak out only to duck as another bullet came at his head.

"Shitty devils!" A voice the grated-on Harry's nervous almost instantly spoke. "Devil always with their little shitty tactics. Never able to stand in a fair fight."

"If it's a fair fight then drop that gun!" Harry yelled out.

"HAHAHAH!" The man laughed. "Like I'd trust a fucking devil!"

"Then I guess I'll have to beat the shit out of you." Harry said as he turned to Issei. "Contact Rias. I don't care how but do it as I fight this asshole."

Harry was about to walk out of cover when a scream pierced the standoff.
