Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma 1/2 or Harry Potter, nor any of the
characters. Oh well.
A.N. Ranma timeline wise, its after Ranma and Ryoga learn their Ki attacks, Mouko Takabishi and ShiShi Hoko Dan, and right before Nodoka shows up. Although because of the whole Harry Potter deal, I'll have to skew things a bit.
I had one flamer, and he did some major insults. If he thinks that is stopping me, he is WRONG. I will write this, because I want to, and no PREJUDICED MAN will stop me.
Chapter Two:
And so the years pass, and "Ranma Saotome" grows to become a great martial artist. After Juysenko, they live with the Tendo's for nearily a year, during with"Ranma" is joined by multible Fiancee's and Rivals.
~*~*~*~*~*
"RANMA NO BAKA!!"
A black haired pig-tailed boy, in Chinese attire, was spotted flying over Nerima, Japan, and into the local park's pond, and resurfacing, a red head pigtailed girl stalked toward the Tendo Dojo fuming with a large battle aura surrounding her, stomping cracks in the sidewalk.
A purple haired Chinese girl on a bicycle jumps out of the bushes beaming at the pigtailed girl. "Airen come to China with Shampoo? Eat Shampoo's Ramen?" The pigtailed girl rushes away, only to narrowly missing a blade swinging towards her. "Leave Shampoo alone Baka!" The athletic pigtailed girl kicks the blade wielding Chinese boy into the pond, and a duck resurfaces. "QUACK!"
A cute spatula wielding girl, jumps out behind 'Shampoo' and smacks her with a giant spatula into the pond. "Ranchan is mine you bimbo!" A cat resurfaces, and walks toward the unknowing pigtailed girl, facing away from it. "Meow."
A horrified look comes over the pigtailed girl, and she stutters. "Cu...cu...CAT!" With a shriek of fear, she disappears, leaving a trail of dust.
After running a few seconds, miles away, does she finally slow down to a stop. "Phew. That was close." *WHUSH!* A HUGE umbrella smashes into the ground beside her, missing her by inches. "NOW YOU DIE RANMA!!!" A tough looking boy, with tousled hair, held up a yellow bandana with black square design, sneers at 'Ranma', showing plenty of fang.
He Charges Ranma, and Ranma, kicks the fanged boy into a trench full of water. A small Kawaii black piglet resurfaces, and the girl, Ranma, smirks at him. "Good luck getting out of this, 'P-chan'. Hope you don't get lost."
Ranma walks out to the pack that the 'lost boy' had carelessly tossed to the side. Reaching in, she took out the inevitable thermos. Pouring it over her head, she grew, her hair turning black, until she couldn't be mistaken as anything else but male. Walking by the trench, were 'P-chan' had managed to struggle out of, and was gasping for breath, Ranma poured hot water on 'P-chan'. "Here you go Ryoga. You owe me now," he said, tossing a towel over the wet and glaring Ryoga.
Ranma jumped on a nearby roof, and started sprinting towards the Tendo Dojo, where he dodged the bokken wielding baka that swung at him. "Die you foul sorcerer Saotome!" After being kicked off a roof, 'Baka' twitched once, and was quickly left behind by the rushing Ranma. "Baka Kuno."
Reaching the Tendo Dojo, he walked in casually, and sat at the table. A girl with a shorthaired bob walks in, her almost blue hair swinging. "Are you ready to eat some of the food I cooked Ranma?"
"Awwwwww Akane! Couldn't I just have some of Kasumi's?" Ranma whined.
Akane shook her head in rage. "NO Ranma you may not. I cook this for you and you ARE going to eat this."
Ranma sighed in resignation and took a tentative bite. Turning green, he fell over and twisted around in obvious pain. Or it should have been obvious.
"RANMA NO BAKA!!!" Akane screamed, taking out her sub-space mallet and smacking Ranma so hard he flew out the broken window, and into the Koi pond.
"I can see it now!" One of the two older men says. "They are already acting like a married couple," Says the overweight one with glasses. Akane takes her mallet and smacks the man into the pond, a panda resurfacing.
"Oh dear." sighed Kasumi, the oldest sister, a pretty housewife type with her long hair in a bow. She took a broom and started calmly sweeping up the shards of glass.
"Looks like it will be a peaceful day in Nerima, doesn't it?" Nabiki commented with a grin. And it was the truth. Today had been to norm, no evil demons, no Happosai, no princes kidnapping Akane. A rather boring day so to speak. And Nabiki had just jinxed that.
The phone rang, and Nabiki stood up to get it, seeing that she was the only one available at the moment. Genma looked up at her back with a sense of oncoming doom.
"Daddy?" Nabiki said. "I just got off the phone with Auntie Nodoka; she was on a payphone and on her way."
Genma's eyes widened and he turned to Soun with a furious look. "You didn't tell me you were in contact with my wife!!"
Soun looked like he was about to cry, which was no big surprise. "She stops by about every once a year, and I guess I just lost track of time.."
"LOST TRACK OF TIME?! THIS COULD MEAN MY DEATH!!!!" Genma hollered.
And so the Man among Men contract was explained. Ranma had to be a man among men, or both Ranma and Genma had to commit honorable suicide.
"With that curse, I don't know what she'd think, and she's not that fond of magic either."
But there was no real way to run. She would be here any minute! Both Genma and Ranma splashed themselves with cold water, and tried to make themselves as invisible as a red haired Japanese girl and a huge panda could be.
That is, not very.
So when Nodoka came in, followed by a chubby black haired and blue eye boy, that was the first thing the two of them noticed. The black haired boy went over, kicked the "panda" HARD, and started flirting with the pig- tailed girl, who made her best efforts not to pummel the boy.
"Hello Soun, Akane-chan, Kasumi-chan, I forgot that I have never brought my son over here," Nodoka said calmly, unaffected by the rude advances of her son. "Meet Ranma Saotome, my son."
The prepared excuse of Ranka Tendo and her pet panda disapeared.
"*That* is Ranma?! I've seen Ranma and that- that - THING, isn't Ranma!!" Akane claimed.
Nodoka's eyes turned sharply to Akane. "You've seen that fake that my good for nothing husband accidently took instead of Ranma. That is my nephew, Heri Potter. Wretched boy."
The red haired, pigtailed girl blinked, stunned by what she heard. "..I'm not Ranma?" she muttered to herself. The real Ranma heard, and turned to her with a wide eyed expression.
"POPS!" the red haired girl turned on the "innocent panda" with a glare. With brute strength alone she dragged the panda into the house. She turned to Kasumi, who like she read "Ranma"'s mind, had a kettle in her hand. She poured water over herself, and then the panda, and they both turned into their normal forms.
But something was different with Ranma. Instead of blue eyes, he had a vivid green, and a lightning bolt shape scar on his head.
All this Nodoka looked at with wide eyes. She thought for a moment of attacking Heri, but could sense just by the way he moved that he was too powerful. So she turned on Genma.
"How could you mistake your own son for that scum?!" Nodoka shrieked.
As Nodoka blamed Genma, "Ranma" walked shakily back to the staircase. He sat down, looking at his own hands. He wasn't Ranma? Who was he then? This Harry Potter?
He had a flashback; someone who looked like a chibi-him fighting him, treating him cruelly. He rememebered he lived in a cupboard. He also rememembered distantly, a beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes, protecting him from a neon green flash of light.... 'must be were my cursed form got the red hair,' he thought distantly.
Yes, he was Harry Potter, he was sure of this now. But why did he have to go through so many terrible things, things that were meant for Ranma? He remembered the painful and traumatising neko-ken, and he wouldn't be cursed either!
"You aren't engaged to Akane anymore," a cold voice said from above him.
Harry looked up at Nabiki, further up the stairs, a scowl on his face. "I still care about her. I would die for her."
"But the question is, does she care for you?" she said cruelly, striking a painful point that Harry was trying to avoid.
He stood, walking to Akane. She had a bright smile on her face, and was talking to Ranma avidly. 'What is she talking about?'
"....and then he, or rather she got into this huge mess with the Amazons! Almost got killed!" Akane told Ranma.
"Well, I'm starting to feel really glad that I had Harry go on that trip, instead of me. I may not be as strong, but I don't have all that to deal with." Ranma said happily.
"And at least I'm not engaged to a baka aquatransexual anymore!"
Harry felt his heart breaking into a million pieces.
"Lets spar, I can sense we are about the same level," Akane continued, unaware that she had just shattered Harry's heart. The two on them left to the dojo.
That made Harry's descion. There was nothing left for him here, not even any of the things he owned were even his anymore. He left the Tendo Dojo, with nothing but the Chinese styled clothing on his back.
Roof hopping a few blocks away, he stopped to consider where he would go next. Ucchan's was out of the question- he cared for her alot, but didn't know what she would feel for him now that the engagement was void. He didn't want to go through another "Akane".
You'd have to be as insane as they were to go to the Kuno's of your own free will.
That left the Nekohaten. He was engaged to Shampoo by defeating her. Whether or not he was Ranma Saotome wouldn't matter to her. And Cologne would be more than accomidating. That was one place where people still cared about him.
It took only a few minutes for him to get to Nekohaten. He jumped off the roof of the building across the street, and walked into the Ramen shop. The expected did come; "AIREN!"
But just when he was bracing himself for impact, he saw the face of a wooden cane, and Shampoo was caught by her Great Grandmother. He saw her lean down and whisper something in Shampoo's ear.
"Great Grand Daughter, this one has enough depression ki to creat a Shishi Hoko Dan that would level the city. You'd do best to keep back until I figure things out."
With a quick nod, Shampoo went into the next room, but stayed against the door to hear what was being said.
"What is the matter, Son-in-Law?" Cologne asked who she thought was Ranma.
"I'm not who I thought I was," he said glumly, turning his vibrant green eyes on Cologne. "Evidently I'm some kid named Harry Potter, and Ranma is my overweight evil cousin. Akane hates me, and can say so, now that she isn't engaged to me, and I have no where else to go but here." He shrugged slightly, but Cologne saw a great deal of emotional pain in the movement.
"You are more than welcome to stay here, Son-in-law," she said. Where had she heard the name Harry Potter before?
At that, Harry lightened up. He did have somewhere to go after all. He was about to thank her, when all of a sudden...
"WHERE AM I NOW?!?!"
Harry rushed out of the Nekohaten, seeing Ryoga punching holes inthe concrete.
"Hey Ryoga, buddy!" Harry said, jumping to the top of the roof. "What are ya doing here?"
"Ranma this is all your fault!!" Ryoga cried out, trying to punch Harry.
"I just found out I'm not Ranma, my name is Harry so call me that, Okay? What did I do that was your fault this time?" Harry said, easily avoiding Ryoga's blow.
"I was trying to get to the market and get food, and because of you, I'll starve!"
Harry stopped at that, and caught Ryoga's fist. "Why don't ya just eat at the Nekohaten?" he said, pointed at the ramen place with his free thumb.
"Um, okay." Ryoga said, for once at a loss for word.
After finishing a meal of nutritious ramen, Ryoga turned to Harry. "Whats with being this Harry guy anyhow?"
"Pops, er Genma accidently grabbed the wrong kid on the day we left for the training trip. My cousin Ranma and I looked so much alike, so he couldn't tell. So I was raised as Ranma," Harry said, shrugging.
There was a great deal of inner pain with that shrug, so Ryoga knew it was more than that. Ranma- er Harry had been his friend/rival for so long, and Ryoga wasn't about to let the matter stand.
"What else is wrong Harry?" Ryoga said, clasping a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Everyone is deserting me, now that I'm not Ranma," Harry sighed in a low voice.
"Even Akane?" Ryoga asked. Precious Akane wouldn't do such a horrible thing.
"Akane is rather happy about the fact that she isn't engaged to me any longer," Harry muttered, a bitter tone in his voice.
For some reason, Ryoga wasn't elated at the fact. Harry cared about Akane very much, even if it wasn't as a fiancee. For her to just turn him away, like he was nothing... it would have been killing him inside. The depressive chi inside Harry was overflowing, he was glowing a light green.
Ryoga didn't do what he would have, if it had been a normal circumstance, run out the door to find Akane. Somehow Akane didn't seem such a wonderful prize, if she would hurt Harry so badly. And it would take a lot to hurt him like that.
So instead, Ryoga stayed, to offer his friend/rival support. Sipping at the tea, he wondered what he would do. Suddenly it hit him; what did he do when he was hurting emotionally? He would head off on a journey, and let his directional sense take over.
"Why don't we go on a training trip, the two of us? We can do some friendly sparring. We haven't done that since Junior High; normally we are trying to kill each other," Ryoga suggested with a slight smile.
Harry nodded, looking up at Ryoga with expressionless eyes. "I need to get away from Nerima desperately."
Cologne came in, obvious listening in to the conversation. "If you are planning on doing this, please take Xian Pu with you. She loves you deeply Son in Law, and she wants to be there for you."
Shampoo peeked out from behind Cologne, obviously having heard everything they had said.
"Shampoo go with Airen?" She said, a pleading expression on her face. She had her hands clasped in front of her, and she seemed to beg Harry to take her with him.
"You can come Shampoo, but don't be hanging all over me. It is a serious training trip," he said, then turning to Cologne. "Old ghoul, I don't know when we'll be back, or if we will be. Go back to the Amazon village, and we will try to meet you there."
"That I will Son in Law," Cologne said, narrowing her eyes and Harry tied a piece of thin rope around Ryoga's arm, and then his own, connecting them. Shampoo left and came back with a traveling pack. When she got near the two, he tied a piece of string around Shampoo's arm connecting her to himself.
Ryoga led the way, and they walked toward the kitchen, disapearing in a pop.
Cologne watched all this is silence.
"So the famous Harry Potter has finally reapeared," she said softly, staring at the spot he had disapeared from. "I better get out that aged owl of mine, and mail my old friend Albus."
end Chapter Two
A.N. I didn't mean for Akane to come off so harsh! .
I normally really like Akane, but I guess that my fingers decided to make her evil on their own. Sorry Akane lovers.
Next Chapter! Hagrid shows up!
And don't know where they will be, or what will happen, but he will show up!
Ah, and spoiler for the next chapter!
Harry refuses to go to any place with Hagrid, unless Ryoga and Shampoo can go with. To get rid of the curses, they use a age regression potion, that was really nasty tasting, taking them all back to the tender age of 12.
All of them still have their physical abilities though, if a little smaller.
Because of the curse, Shampoo and Ryoga has a small amount of magical abilities. Think Neville in magical strength people!
Ryoga's directional curse gets fixed, a little bit, with a charm.
Diagon Alley as well! The first meeting with Draco Malfoy!
That all for now ppl!
R&R! No flames, but will accept Helpful Critisism!
A.N. Ranma timeline wise, its after Ranma and Ryoga learn their Ki attacks, Mouko Takabishi and ShiShi Hoko Dan, and right before Nodoka shows up. Although because of the whole Harry Potter deal, I'll have to skew things a bit.
I had one flamer, and he did some major insults. If he thinks that is stopping me, he is WRONG. I will write this, because I want to, and no PREJUDICED MAN will stop me.

And don't know where they will be, or what will happen, but he will show up!
Ah, and spoiler for the next chapter!
Harry refuses to go to any place with Hagrid, unless Ryoga and Shampoo can go with. To get rid of the curses, they use a age regression potion, that was really nasty tasting, taking them all back to the tender age of 12.
All of them still have their physical abilities though, if a little smaller.
Because of the curse, Shampoo and Ryoga has a small amount of magical abilities. Think Neville in magical strength people!
Ryoga's directional curse gets fixed, a little bit, with a charm.
Diagon Alley as well! The first meeting with Draco Malfoy!
That all for now ppl!
R&R! No flames, but will accept Helpful Critisism!
