Chapter 17: IS x Potterverse
AN: Happy Thanksgiving to all. Had watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and later checked FFN only to find few dead fanfics for IS x Harry Potter crossover section. A shame since I would like to read a IS crossover with Harry Potter that is more than five chapters. I had been a fan of Harry Potter during childhood and still like today to some extent. Most Harry Potter fanfics I read happens to be crossover fanfics. I have a few story concepts of IS x Potterverse that I came up with. Feel free to adapt any of these story concepts to write an IS x Potterverse fanfic.
Challenge Concept 1 - Mahoutokoro School of Magic
While Hogwarts is the most prominently recognized and well known wizarding school, for those of us who aren't well versed with the Potterverse we aren't familiar with any lore that goes on outside of the Harry Potter books/movies and the Fantastic Beasts. First challenge is to explore what other wizarding schools are like that aren't mentioned in the books or movies. This challenge story has Ichika attend the Japanese wizarding school, the Mahoutokoro School of Magic, with Chifuyu being either the Headmaster or one of the senior professors at Mahoutokoro, teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts courses specifically tailored for Japanese wizards and witches with her classes incorporating Japanese martial arts and prominently Japanese swordsmanship. Shinonono Tabane would be a professor teaching the Onmyōji Arts classes while Tatenashi Sarashiki being the Student Council President. Concerning Phantom Task, they can be either be an underground organization made up of dark wizards and witches, the antagonist group like canon IS. Or they can be an elite branch within the Japanese Aurors, specifically acting as spec-ops/black-ops or agents working Intelligence and Counterintelligence on Domestic and Foreign fronts.
Challenge Concept 2 - Phantom Task as the Anti-Auorors
Phantom Task is an international underground wizarding guild that is known to employ dark wizards and witches. Phantom Tasks provides its wizarding clients with bounty hunter, intelligence-gathering, collecting and selling information, private security and mercenary services. A magical working under the auspices of Phantom Task will take on any wizarding job no matter how dangerous or illegal for the right price. Phantom Task even take on assignments from various nation's Ministry of Magic to do jobs that are extremely high-risk that they wouldn't send their Aurors to do such jobs like capturing or killing dark wizards and witches too dangerous for Aurors to handle, or tor taking down a wizarding criminal organization that is too powerful for a single Ministry of Magic to defeat. They even do dark and dirty work for wizarding governmental bodies wanting to keep their hands clean.
Scenario 1 - Hired by the International Confederation of Wizards, Phantom Task deploys it forces to enforce a containment zone around Britain during the First Wizarding War to prevent the war from escalating beyond Britain's borders. Phantom Task's have two clear objectives: 1) enforce strict containment zone around Magical Britain - nothing gets in or out without approval of the Confederation or Phantom Task; 2) assist the Confederation in enforcing the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy since the British Ministry of Magic is unable to enforce the Statue in its territory as it fights a desperate struggling war against Voldemort and his Death Eaters; and 3) eliminate Voldemort, the source of the conflict, if the opportunity arises - otherwise uphold the first two objectives at whatever the cost. Scenario 1 follows the stories of the Orimura siblings as they enter Magical Britain as part of the first wave of Phantom Task forces deployed to enforce containment and the Statue whatever the cost - whether it be battling Death Eaters for foiling refugees' escape plans. They are no friend of either side of the First Wizarding War, in certain cases they are an enemy to both sides.
Scenario 2 - Similar to Scenario 1 but takes place during events of Harry Potter books/movies. Some nations' Ministries of Magic is concerned about the supposed rise and return of Voldemort. Behind the back of the British Ministry of Magic and after Albus Dumbledore was dismissed from his position of Supreme Mugwump (the head of the International Confederation of Wizards) following the British Ministry's denunciation of Voldemort's return, the Confederation secretly hired Phantom Task investigate the activities of all previous and current Death Eater members and possible return of Voldemort. Follow the IS cast in the Magical Britain as they conduct their espionage operations from the streets of Muggle London, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade, to the corridors of the British Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet's main office against anyone suspected to be a Death Eater or supporter of Voldemort.
