I don't own Harry Potter or the Matrix. JK Rowling owns Harry Potter and the Wachowski Brothers own the matrix...btw, I made the first chapter longer a little so go back and read that if you didn't.

Two Rebels and Renegades at Hogwarts

Harry got up around seven thirty the first morning back at Hogwarts. He went to the Great Hall for breakfast at the Gryffindor table. Ron and Hermione were there too. It was surprising since it was early. He went down because after the weird dream he couldn't get back to sleep. He helped himself to eggs and bacon. "Hello Harry." Ron and Hermione said. "Hello." Harry said in a somewhat less cheerful mood.

"Alright, what's wrong Harry?" Hermione asked. "I had this strange dream. It didn't have anything to do with Voldemort for once. But I don't think it should be ignored. This man who looked like some FBI or CIA agent was able to copy himself using other people." Ron laughed Hermione gave Ron a stern look. "What? It was just a dream mate. Nothing big." Harry shook his head "I don't know. It felt real somehow." Hermione was actually looking concerned. "Harry, maybe you should tell Dumbledore about the dream..." suddenly a nasty voice shouted from Slytherin table "What's the matter Potter? Having nightmares again? Wetting the bed?" it was Draco Malfoy. Draco and Harry have always been enemies since their first year.

Harry this time ignored him. "Oh forget it guys, I'll just go to Dumbledore later." This seemed to cheer Hermione up a bit...Harry didn't know why she was this concerned about him. They looked at their schedules. First were potions which was Harry's least favorite class, it was taught by Professor Snape who was also Harry's least favorite teacher and same with Harry being Snape's least favorite student. Especially after last year when Harry looked in Snape's pensieve of Harry's father doing hexes and being mean to Snape. A pensieve is something to store memories in so no one else can read them or so you don't forget it later.

It was close to nine o' clock. "Come on we best be leaving." Hermione said. They made their way to the potions room, which was in the dungeons and no matter what the weather was like it was always cold in the dungeons. Whenever Snape looked at Harry he always gave a nasty sneer that chilled Harry's blood. They were doing a potion of invisibility, which was a very tricky one. Neville Longbottom who was always bad at potions was really doing badly. The potion was supposed to be silver, which reminded Harry of unicorn's blood. Neville's turned to a nasty blood red color.

It started to bubble and boil and even made a growling sound. Then a large bubble began to take form. It was rising and suddenly exploded. It got all over the dungeons but didn't do anything but it felt slimy and disgusting. Snape came over to Neville. "Longbottom you think minded troll. Didn't I remind the class three times that the adder's eyes were to be stewed after the cauldron's off the boiler? I also stated that the beetle's horns were to be carefully crushed to a powder. That's ten points from Gryffindor. Longbottom you will stay after class to clean this mess up."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione left for transfiguration class. Professor McGonagall who was also head of Gryffindor house was the teacher of transfiguration. This lesson was trying to transfigure their books into bats. By the end Hermione was the only on successful with the transfiguration. Ron's bats still had pages. The rest of the day was good. And at long last dinner came. Harry was starving and took a lot of everything.

When Harry was enjoying more of his steak Hermione whispered in his ear: "Harry I need to talk to you privately so meet me in the common room around midnight when everyone else is asleep." Harry didn't understand why but whispered, "Okay. I'll pretend to go to sleep and then come back out in the common room." Dinner was enjoyable and so was the desert. When it was time to go to the common room Harry and Ron played chess. Harry was getting better after playing with Ron for a while. He nearly won but fell for Ron's bait by taking the queen with his bishop which left and open space for Ron's rook.

It was getting late. Harry went to his dorm and put on his pajamas. He pretended to sleep and waited for everyone else to sleep. He then got up. Put on his night robes and went down stairs to the common room. It was peaceful with no one else around and the fire lit in the fireplace. He waited for only five minutes and he heard bare feet coming down the stone steps from the girl's dorms. Hermione was in purple pajamas. Harry didn't know why but now looking at her he felt his heart beating faster and faster. She wasn't the same brown haired girl he was a best friend with since his first year. She was beautiful sixteen years old.

"Hello Harry" she said slightly nervous. "Hermione." He said as nervous. "So, Hermione you said you wanted to talk to me." Hermione came closer to him. "Yes I did Harry. Ever since we were eleven we were best friends. And our friendship is important but I uh...well start seeing you more than just a friend Harry...I...love...you Harry and..." then Harry just took her and kissed her. They kissed for a while and both their hearts were beating so fast it felt like they would burst out of their chests. After they stopped they stared at each other for a minute "Hermione. I love you too. I feel the same way too. That we are more than just friends you're very beautiful Hermione. And I would be crazy to not see that."

Hermione smiled. "Thanks. And Harry. I actually loved you for a long time. But I didn't know how to say it to you without scaring you. Harry, you're someone who well...is caring and sweet. I mean you had your chance to be powerful and all in Slytherin but you chose Gryffindor and that is brave to deny the hat's choice of Slytherin." She leaned her head on Harry's chest. Harry held her close in his arms. "Hermione. Don't say I'm that good. Because I'm not a saint, but thank you for the kind words.

And Hermione if it wasn't for you well...I don't know where I'd be. I'm lucky...no blessed to have had a friend like you and now someone I love." He kissed her again. "It's getting late though. We best go to bed. Good night." Hermione said. "Good night." Harry said. Harry went to bed feeling happier. Hermione too felt happier and would write to her parents tomorrow about her happiest moment.

Meanwhile other ships started flying in: the Logos, The Hammer, the Vigilant, the Icarus, the Gnosis, the Osiris, the Isis, the Poseidon II, and the Caesar IV. They too wanted to know what the situation was. The crew of the Caesar IV reported that sentinels were swarming around in deserted areas and were heading to England. Morpheus was telling them what the Oracle told him about he wizards, Harry Potter, and the anomaly. The other captains wouldn't have believed him if this happened to them.

They got back to their ships and started flying to England. Sentinels seemed to be waiting for them already. All the turrets were manned. The Nebuchadnezzar didn't have any turrets so they stayed clear. Captain Niobee of the Logos contacted them "Morpheus, we have the sentinels occupied you go to Hogwarts and find this Potter boy. We'll catch up soon." Link flew the best he could through the sentinel swarm. But the sentinels were too busy to notice the Nebuchadnezzar go right by. It'd take a while to get there but they knew they would.

It was Saturday, and the first quiditch game. It was Gryffindor against Slytherin. Harry was happy to do it too. It was sunny and breezy, perfect weather conditions. Ron was keeper and was nervous at the posts. Ginny, Ron's sister was a chaser since Angelina left. In the game Gryffindor was already winning. Gryffindor scored thrice already! Ron's skills as a keeper were improving too. He stopped three attempts in a row. Unfortunately when a Slytherin chaser came to score Crabbe a beater on Slytherin shot a bludger to Ron knocking him off balance. But still it was forty-to-ten.

Harry flew on his Firebolt looking for the snitch. His Firebolt was far faster than Malfoy's Nimbus 2001. He saw the snitch going down, but Harry was an expert at dives. When he was only two feet away from the ground he pulled up and caught the snitch! "Gryffindor wins!!" all cheered as Harry and his teammates landed. "Yes boy well done." Came a sinister voice, Harry turned and saw—"You? You were from my dream!" the man was in a brown suit with sunglasses and dark hair. "Yes" he smiled but it was evil and sinister. "It's all about me!" Ron pulled out his wand and pointed at the man. "Go away or I'll melt you!" the man laughed "Go ahead! The best thing about being me is: there's so many me's."

Suddenly as if on cue fifty others of the man came out! They were his clones or doubles or something. Hexes flew everywhere. So did these doubles. Suddenly the man put his hand on Harry and the black liquid started spreading over him. He felt like he was falling. Suddenly a man clad in a black trench coat with sunglasses flew down knocked the agent like man off Harry. He started fighting swarms of them. Harry knew he had to help him somehow. When one of the doubles had his back on Harry, he did the full binding spell on him.

Neo knew that the boy Smith was trying to copy was the potter boy. He so far succeeded since all the Smiths were fighting him. This Potter boy though was helping he noticed doing magic. "Hey kid. Can you summon me a rod?" a brown haired girl said "I can!" she summoned a metal pole for Neo. Neo was spinning 360 degrees so many times. He was knocking Smiths away. "More!" he heard Smith say. He was knocking them down, up, and away. Soon Morpheus and Trinity arrived doing their best to fight too. Neo was hoping other ships would arrive so that the Smiths would leave the school for a while.

Harry was leaving most of the fighting to Neo with his metal rod. Soon he noticed a black man clad in a leather trench coat with a katana appeared. So did a woman in black leather. She seemed to know kung fu. Sometimes they did impossible things like jumping ten feet in the air and stuff like that. Neo was getting surrounded by Smiths but was using kicks and jabs at them. He set the pole on the ground and was kick running around in a circle on the pole. Morpheus was using his katana with excellent skills.

"I hope my men and I can join the party" Harry heard a French accent. He turned around to see a man in black with others with him. Twins in white, with white dreadlocks, and a few others in black. For some reason the Smiths were leaving "Oh don't worry Mr. Anderson we'll be back. I just have some places to go." Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo looked at him. "The Merovingian." Morpheus said coldly. "Ah Morpheus I see that you are here for some reason but unfortunately I am here to get you all! After what you did to my manor.

Now, these wizards I have know about and they are mine so step aside if you don't want to get hurt." Neo stepped in front. "You're not doing anything to these kids." The Merovingian laughed "Oh, Neo!" he said in a mocking petrified voice "Not Neo the One himself! On the contrary they are mine! You two" he said to the twins "Get that girl." The twins turned ethereal and went to Hermione. "Morpheus, Trinity make sure they don't get the kids. I'll handle them."

"Oh really? Kill him," he said. The others went for Neo. He used his metal rod to bash in the skull of a vampire in a trench coat . Another one with tattoos on his face came at Neo with a claymore. Neo blocked and kicked him while another came at him with a flail. Neo stepped back. Neo then smacked him in the neck with all his force with the rod. The guy with the claymore came back. Neo knocked it out of his hands and thrust it in his chest.

The flail guy was only a program and didn't get that hurt. Neo this time tripped him grabbed the flails and stabbed them in the neck. An Asian girl in white came at him with a long mace. Neo blocked it with his rod knocked her away while a guy with long hair in a ponytail came at him with a triton. Neo parried with him. He tried to thrust Neo. Neo knocked it down. The chick with the mace struck. Neo ducked. It hit the guy with the triton. Neo punched her in the chest. She fell. Neo grabbed the mace and brought it down on her. "Damn it woman you would be ze end of me!" the Merovingian said. The Merovingian was gone before Neo knew it. How he escaped so quickly was a mystery to him. Unless he used a portal.

Hermione was running. Ron, Harry, Trinity, and Morpheus ran after her. But the twins got in front of her. She tried a fire ball at one but he turned ethereal and came up to her with a knife and turned real. "Drop the wand silly girl." She put it in her pocket. They took her to a gray SUV. It took off. Harry still had his Firebolt with him. He flew back to Neo. "Listen! Those twins have my friend! I need your help you can fly I saw you..." he realized he didn't know his name. "I'm Neo, I was told to get you. I will get your friend back come!" they flew off. Morpheus and Trinity found a silver car and went after them.

Cliff hanger... the first note is that the red formula was the matrix substance that the machines put the humans in the pods...just a gag nothing big. The second is that I know vampires can be killed by silver or steaks but if someone bashed a vampire's skull in that'd probably kill him. And yes I know it's confusing but like in Reloaded they can use portals and the cars were hacked in...remember it's the matrix world collided with the real world so hacks can be done...I might improve later on...hope you enjoy.
