Magical Photon.
A Phantasy Star Online Harry Potter crossover.
I don“t own them, except Shawn, my PSO avatar.
Shawn was lead through the castle.
Hermione was still asleep.
"You caused quite a stir when three students didn't show up," the man spoke.
"Three students? Me and Hermione make two, who's the third?"
The man snorted, "Harry Potter, of all people."
Shawn smirked, "really, the great Harry Potter not at Hogwarts."
"Yes, Rumour goes that Potter went over to the dark side."
"And what is your opinion? By the way, what is your name?"
"It's Filch, and I believe that although Potter is a stuck up brat, he would never go to the dark side."
Shawn eyes narrowed a bit, "And how can you know that he is a stuck up brat? One can only assume as nobody has actually met him," Shawn said calmly.
Filch paused, "Maybe your right, I really hate the students, with their dungbombs. They always annoy me to no end."
"Can't you clean it up, using magical means?"
"No,I...I can't use magic."
"Well, I apparently can, but didn't use it before."
"You must done something in the past , when your emotions ran high."
"No, I studied martial arts when I was youngand there I learned about chi control and controling my emotions."
"Chi?"
"Your life energy, based on emotions. Muggles discovered a link between emotions and your power output"
"The output of power?"
"Your psyical strengh. If your angry your strengh is high but your control is suffering. When you're calm, you haven't got any real power, but your speed and control are much better."
"I see,"
"Strengh can be handy, but only when you can hit."
"So strengh can be your greastest weakness."
"Indeed, wizards are powerful but they are neclecting their body."
Filch nodded and sighed, "As much as I enjoyed this talking, we have reached our destination and the headmaster is waiting for you."
Shawn smiled and looked to the doors forming the entrance to the great hall, "Can you do me a favor, could you wake Hermione? I doubt that she want to be asleep when meeting the headmaster."
"Sure,"
Filch went in first to announce that two students were found.
He came back outside and gave Shawn a brief smile.
He had a reputation to keep after all.
Shawn, with Hermione still on his back, entered the hall.
"Harry/Shawn!" was shouted by both Dumbledore and Hagrid.
Shawn gently placed Hermione on one of the benches surrounding the four tables.
"Sorry, the girl had a sprained ankle, I helped her but we missed the boats. I had to walk around the lake."
"Well,I am sure the great Harry Potter is allowed to be late." a voice sneered.
Shawn looked at Snape, "Listen, this is the third time we meet, I am liking you less and less with each time.
Shawn turned to Dumbledore,who was about to say something, "And no, I ain't going to tell you how I escaped."
Hermione was in awe.
The person who helped was Harry Potter.
"Like I told you, I know my history. The friends I made never knew I was Harry Potter. They judged on my actions, not my fame."
"But Harry, I need to know how you escaped."
"I won't tell, Dumbledore."
Snape stood up angry, "If you won't tell, we can just as easily make you tell."
Shawn's eyes flashed purple, "Do you think you can capture me, I kicked you ass once and escaped Hogwarts on the second time."
"You caught me offguard, you won't be lucky this time."
"Let's try that theory then, but the others stay out of this battle," Shawn spoke calmly, yet there was a undertone of danger.
"Fine!" Snape sneered, drawing his wand, "Stupfey!"
The beam whipped past, Shawn had cocked his head sideways.
"I'll give three chances before I attack, that was one."
Snape fired another spell, quickly followed by a second.
Shawn stepsided both, "and that was two and three."
Shawn gave a slightly evil grin,"Now it my turn."
Snape sneered, "Like I said, previous time you were lucky. That stick of you gave you the advantage."
"I blame your defeat on my skills, but that my opinion."
"You are really sure of your self, Potter."
Shawn smirked,"Just for the record, Harry Potter declined and Shawn Flame enrolled."
Dumbledore interupted, "What do you mean?"
"Like I said, I declined as Harry Potter when you captured me."
"And Shawn Flame?"
"Well, my parents still would like it if I attended Hogwarts. So I created an alternate identity."
"But why?"
"Why, Snape entered unannounced, and used spells when Ididn't cooperate. Then you, him and some others ambushed me and forced me to Hogwarts.So I had enough, I created a different name for me.I went to Diagon and stayed there."
Dumbledore looked shocked.
Shawn smirked,"I thought you would look for me, so I hid in plain view. I met Hagrid in Gringrotts, who helped me get a possible enrollment in Hogwarts."
"And?"
"Yesterday I recieved a Hogwarts letter addressed to 'Shawn Flame', who is my alter-ego as it were. It means I am properly enrolled in Hogwarts as Shawn."
"I don't have time to listen to some stupid pampered kid," Snape said as he tried to punch, "If spells don't work, then I'll just have to beat the snot out of you."
Shawn just dodged, "you know if this is the treatment I get everytime, I'll stay it's a good workout."
Suddenly Shawn's arm blured and grapped Snape's wrist.
"But if you think you can beat me, I am trained in over fifty styles of martial arts and armed combat."
Shawn then gave Snape a punch in the gut, causing the potionmaster to pass out.
"If we can come to buisness, It's been quite a day."
Dumbledore nodded slowly, "As you were late for the sorting,you will have to be sorted tomorrow. You two will have to sleep in a different place, do you object if I place in a room together?"
Shawn nodded, "I don't see any reason to object."
Hermione just looked uneasy.
"Well, I guess.."
"How is your foot?"
"I-it's fine, thanks."
As they were being led to their room, Shawn started talking.
"You do know you owe me a huge amount of money?" Shawn said, with a smile.
Hermione noticed the smile, "How much?"
"Atleast a million."
"A million of what."
"Damn, I knew I forgot something." Shawn said in mock-anger.
Hermione burst out in laughter.
"Hey, I was being serious here, hello serious guy over here."
Hermione's laughter only grew.
They reached their room soon after.
Shawn opened the door.
It was nice, it had a cubboard, some seats, a table and..
"Damn, only one bed."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there's only one bed."
"And?"
"And what?"
"Is it big enough for both?"
"The bed is, this town isn't."
"Right, Eastwood, so what is the problem."
"Nothing, absolutly nothing."
"Are you afraid of going to bed with a girl?"
"Maybe, It's more that I always slept alone." Shawn said, while he thought, 'It's more my training I am worried about. I tend to hit first, if I am woken by somebody else.'
"I see, so the big Harry Potter is scared of a girl."
"I prefer that you use Shawn or 'Inferno', and yes, you know the rumours it can cause to sleep with a girl."
"Inferno?"
"My personal nickname that I only allow to be used amongst my closest friends, if you want to be one that is."
"You really want me to be your friend?"
"Yes."
"Not just for homework? or good grades?"
"No,why should I?"
"Because people used me before like that, because I love knowledge."
"What's wrong with being smart? I want you to be my friend because you judged me for being myself, not The-boy-who-lived, not the fame, but just me, under the name I gave you. That's how I want to live, surrounded by people who can see beyond the title, the fame, the glory. People who judge you for who you are, not what you are," Shawn smiled, "I am sure you can agree with me on that."
"Yes, but are you sure you do not want to use the bed."
Shawn nodded, "I'm sure, go ahead and change. I'll take the floor. I find the bed too comfortable anyway."
Shawn sat down, leaning against the wall, and closed his eyes.
Hermione looked at him from the bed.
"Sleep well, Shawn, sleep well."
She too closed her eyes and fell asleep, never noticing the smile that appeared on Shawn's face.
I have read to many Ranma fics ;
I'd like to thankTwin Tails Speed & Sarah R Potter for reviewing.
Shawn makes friends with Filch and he keeps annoying Dumbledore and Snape.
Everybody Speak your mind.
Including Flames, which will be used for cooking.
