( Re-Post / Slight Revision )

please read this chapter, although it is largely the same, enough has been changed to make a difference going forward.


Inspired By / Spoilers For:

• "Albus Potter and the Year of the Badger" and "Albus Potter and the Black Badger Society", by "Bartimus Crotchety". These two fics happened exactly as, in my universe... just add some planet hopping by a Harry (in my version. The original is not a crossover.)

• "Cursed" by "ColtKit Productions" (my other account). Took some ideas for the Fruits Basket Lore from there.


After flying around, for nearly 2 hours, the Tenza Siblings finally decided to land.

Georgie, as crazy as he was, really knew all about being a Tenza. He showed them all how to reset their Perception Filter, and even make themselves younger.

It was fairly easy to do, as they just had to picture themselves, and believe they could change their appearance. Working much like casting any spell.

Unfortunately, being in these more limited bodies, was a chore, after being so free.

"We have to do that again," Draco demanded. With Harry finding himself in full agreement.

Georgie gave a lopsided grin, his hands behind his head. As his siblings put their clothes back on, each hiding behind a different bush. It was pretty funny, only the Luna girl, managed to conjure herself any clothes. And even her's wasn't the school uniform, but her Ravenclaw robes.

Georgie used to make those mistakes to, when he was first learning his powers, but he couldn't help but laugh at his siblings misfortune.

He, like most Tenza, before meeting his biological siblings, had grown up an only child. He was looking forward to getting to know his brothers and sisters. Even if it meant having to teach them everything he knew about Tenza.

... Nor the obvious fact... he didn't quite fit in with them. They all, clearly, already knew each other... had vast history with each other. While he was the stranger... maybe he should have gone to Hogwarts.

His Doctor had taught him a lot, since he was 8. So it was hard for him to wrap his head around that most Tenza, legitimately, didn't know about their Origins, until they were 40. Most had to figure this stuff out, by themselves. But thanks to Georgie's intergalactic schooling, his siblings would have a leg up.

"There!" Harry hopped away from his bush, and dusted himself off. The school uniform really wasn't so bad. But it was definitely based on a muggle style. With a green jacket, white dress shirt, red tie, and khaki dress pants. With skirts for the ladies.

This school was, supposed to be, about teaching monsters how to act in the muggle world. While encouraging cooperation between the nobles, of different species, or the wealthy heirs to major monster companies. That again, did trading with muggles.

The fact Draco was sneering, at having to tolerate this as his uniform, just increased Harry's love of it.


Once everyone finished getting dressed, and collecting their shrunken belongings from Georgie, they continued their journey to the "S" Dorms.

They already knew everyone that was hear, thanks to their Tenza form's eavesdropping powers, but it was still only polite to make official introductions.

"Have fun flying around?" Asked an absolutely gorgeous man, looking in his mid 20s. His magic reeked of the undead... but he wasn't like anything Georgie ever felt before. Not even his well trained Tenza senses, could pin it down.

The man was definitely a Vampire, Georgie met lots of those, working for Unit. But there was just something weird about his aura... Almost...demonic? But not quite, some kind of spiritual animal was mixed in with that Undead energy.

Still that was no call to be rude, of course. After all, Georgie was British. "Yeah, it was a blast!" Before extending his hand. "Gregory Snipes, but Everyone calls me Georgie."

"Ayame Soma," Smiled the white haired vampire, before lingering his eyes on the other Tenza. Who, more hesitantly, introduced themselves.

Well most of them, "Aya!!!" Harry jumped into the man's arms. Obviously recognizing him.

"Harry!!!" Ayame gaped, before twirling the boy around. "I can't believe it!!! I haven't seen you since the new years party."

"That was like, 7 years ago for me." Harry confessed.

Aya gave an overly flamboyant gasp. "7 years! Harry, for shame. How could you resist my charms for so long?" Then leaned in closer, and seductively whispered, "And Why would you want to?"

"Errrrr," Georgie side stepped that, and focused on what was important. "How is 7 years, only a few months ago," Georgie asked.

Hermione sighed. "Harry keeps messing with Time Travel."

Harry finally broke the hug, and looked at Georgie, "Not so much Time Travel, as time moves differently across the dimensional planes. Aya must just be from a few years behind me.

" I like to explore the Styx Leyline, and stumbled on The Sohma family's curse, during one of my trips."


The Sohma Clan was cursed. Although it had been a close net secret. Most of the family didn't even know. Which was easy enough, as it only affected the magical bloodlines in the family.

Whenever a Sohma Psychic became stressed, or hugged by a member of the opposite sex, they transformed into the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, plus the cat.

The curse seemed to only inflict members of the family that possessed magic, which wasn't many, and not all of them were actually cursed. It was only 13 per generation, plus a "core" chosen to bear the brunt of the curse, at birth, in order to keep the cat imprisoned.

The cat was actually the reason behind the Curse. Hundreds of years ago, a Witch from the Sohma clan fought along side 12 spirits, to contain a demon, the cat. The witch sealed them all away, bound to her family line. The spirits were suppose to contain the cat for all eternity, with human Sohmas as there host. It was a self inflicted curse to contain the demon...

The last host to the cat, was a boy named Kyo... and like most Jinchuriki, he lived a hard life. It's why he had such a temper... and why his whole family hated and shunned him.

They blamed him, when they should be praising him for keeping the demon locked away...

The boy's rival, Yuki, was an overly polite and charming teenager. Always kind and gentle. Unfortunately life in the Zodiac inner circle wasn't as wonderful as Kyo imagined. Kyo might have only been physically abused by Akito once, but Yuki was his favorite victim.

Where most, who knew the secret, praised the children of the rat. Akito, as clan leader, and involuntary bearer of the curse's core... blamed the rat for everything that happened to their family.

Legend tells it that the rat spirit and the cat demon used to be friends, but the rat betrayed the cat. Which led to the cat attacking many villages in a rage. Which obviously led to the family curse to stop it.

Who knows, maybe the Zodiac legend was true, and it really was over a prank about a party.

Demons were known for being very emotional creatures and not very rational. They were creatures of chaos after all, not evil but certainly not having the same concepts of morality.

The violent temper of those, born under the sign of the cat, was legendary. Always getting mad over the littlest of things. It was hard for them to learn to control. It was a trait of the demon.

Harry hadn't known of Akito's cruelty back then... only his suffering... and the young Master of Death's "Saving people thing" kicked in.

Harry merged the souls of the spirits, and even the demon, with their current host. Getting the Spirit's okay first... and confirming the cat was still too dangerous to let free.

Through the merger, Harry created new abominations, mortals fused with magical constructs. However, he kept the human's mind as the dominant half of their personalities. At the same time, he called on the power of the Hallows, to redesign the curse, trusting them to know best. Turning the Zodiac into Vampires... and selecting Tohru as the new core of the curse.

There had to be a new core, even if the magic wasn't as harmful, it was still as powerful. And Tohru volunteered to accept the burden.

Harry hadn't thought her too young to understand what was being asked of her... but maybe he should have. He might have been fighting for his life, and treated like a slave since he was a year old... but only after having kids of his own... did he understand the need to protect innocence... and there was none more innocent then Tohru Honda... and he turned her into a monster.

Harry stayed in touch, even studied in the Sohma Dojo for 7 years. Which taught how to channel magic through the body, and use it in combination with martial arts.

Harry also kicked Akito's ass, after learning the man's true nature... but Tohru managed to reform him... despite Dumbledore insisting in second chances... Harry never believed cruel men could be "Reformed"... but Tohru showed him, with her work with Akito... it was possible.

Akito had been born to die. To bear the crippling magic of the curse, until it killed him at a far too young age. And Tohru... knowing his fear of death... turned the boy into an immortal Vampire... even binding him to the Respawn Point Harry created.

However, this act of kindness, near crippled the man all over again... as apparently he felt an incredible wave of guilt... and devoted his life to saving all.

The New Curse... would infect those turned, with whatever Zodiac animals they were born under. Both the Chinese Zodiac, as well as the Celtic Zodiac. As the curse was calling on Harry's own heritage... or at least, from his wizarding side.

They gained both an Animal and more demonic forms, and could now transform at will. Becoming either types of Zodiac, or even a hybrid of the two, for both their demonic and animal forms.

They could usually control when they changed. Although stress could still cause them to transform involuntarily. Usually into whichever animal form they prefered. Including the hybrid as a possibility.

They gained the ability to hug the opposite sex. They could also control, communicate with, and even summon their Zodiac animals. Both Celtic and Chinese... which meant there was a proper year of the Cat in this Duel Zodiac.

Unfortunately, Tohru was unable to take any demonic, or even animal form, but maintained powers over all animals in both Zodiacs... as well as all Zodiac Vampires, and was telepathically linked to them.

Their "Coven" had grown over the passed decade, since Harry altered their curse into something they could actually enjoy. With both old and new friends, and their families, joining the coven.


Harry smiled, his mind returning to the present, "I offered to lend my assistance. I couldn't remove it, but I could modify it into something more benevolent.

"I was able to manipulate their curse into something more manageable. Creating a new species of Vampire, bound to a respawn point I made myself... which hatches more spirit-like animals, the Vampires can control.

"Hela later told me she deliberately guided me to the Sohma clan, and sent me the knowledge about how to make vampires and alter the curse... but it was my choice what I did with that. The various gods are pretty big on free will.

"Hela's son had gotten pretty overwhelmed with how far humanity progresses. The Yokai Wars hardly helped matters.

"But after the war, all the planets were sent back to the stone age. When I visited, Ayame's world was about... early 2000s, technologically?"

And these guys thought Georgie was the weird one?

"He talks a lot of gibberish," Aya smiled at Harry, before pinching his cheek. "But ya got to love him."

Harry knocked the hand away. Before poking the man's nose. "No pinchy," the boy glared.

Aya grinned, guiding Harry's hand away. "7 years. You're youngest must be finished with that wizard school, you told me about."

Harry groaned, "Make me feel old why don't ya. But yeah, little Albus junior, is actually the reason I couldn't come visit. His school years were even more messed up then mine!

"The Goblin's explained that he inherited some of my Tenza magics. I mean, obviously he's not a Tenza, but I guess he's sorta a rare demi-Tenza. So like, He's completely human, but he inherited some of my raw power... which made him a magnet for spiritual beast. Especially after he started studying magic... and more then one dark wizard targeted him to."

Harry jerked an accusing thumb, back at Draco. "Especially that dick. Who acted like a bloody puppet Master, to get our kids together. Then made it seem like he didn't approve of his son, being a Hufflepuff. That way my boy would be drawn closer to him! He totally Dumbledored our kids!!!"

Draco rolled his eyes, "I told you, it was the best way to distance Scorpius from my Reputation. The boy doesn't need to be known as the son of a Death Eater, his whole life."

"That's the only reason I didn't file a Blood Feud!!!" Harry glared. Well, and the minor issue, that both Albus and Scorpius, wanted to stay friends. Manipulation or not. The boys were definitely a Hufflepuff's Hufflepuff.

Draco gave an unashamed shrug. "For the record, I'm very proud of my little Puff. He's already the top of his field."

"In techno magic," Harry grinned. "He does love his muggle gadgets."

Draco sighed at the reminder, not so proud of his son's fascination with muggles. But at least he was using that peculiar hobby, into bettering wizarding kind.

Draco had let his boy read whatever he wanted, growing up. Even encouraging muggle authors, and Gryffindor propaganda. He wanted his boy to go to Gryffindor. Where the Potter spawn would likely be, but Raising the boy to be a much more gentle soul, then his father.

In hindsight, it was always going to be Hufflepuff. Which the Potter Spawn willingly followed him in. As to not abandon his new friend. So it all worked out.

Draco had put a lot of effort, short of casting spells on children, to get the Potter spawn, and his son, in the same compartment, during their first train ride to Hogwarts. With neither knowing their meeting wasn't chance.

Draco really was, a Slytherin's Slytherin. Just like his own father wanted.


Georgie spoke up, "I work for Unit, so I've seen some pretty weird stuff. But I've got to admit. All that is pretty hard to process. Then again, I might not of known you were a Tenza, let alone my brother, but I did hear about you. Avatar to a Death god, doesn't exactly go unnoticed."

Then Georgie jerked his thumb at Draco. "Let's not forget, one of the few Death Eaters to earn a pardon."

Next, he pointed at Hermione, "The bloody activist, turned Minister of Magic." Even if she had served her 10 years, and stepped down gracefully, once she made the changes she wanted. And got them placed in the Wizarding Statute. So the next Minister couldn't get rid of them.

Further down the line, he got to Neville, "A fabled war hero. Turned youngest Deputy Headmaster to EVER teach at Hogwarts."

Lastly, Luna, "And the most renown seer in a thousand years."

Georgie sighed, "Seriously, out of all of you. I'm probably the least interesting. Just being a Grunt for Unit."

He was really the least accomplished out of all his siblings. And he was a freaking black ops specialists, for the United Nations itself!!! He helped fight against alien invasions, and wannabe god wizards!!! He wasn't used to being so unimportant, by comparison.

Even Draco, who had done nothing but earn a pardon, only did so, thanks to his family risking their lives, to save Harry Bloody Potter. Harry wouldn't have lived long enough to defeat Voldemort, much less become the prophesized "Master of Death", if it wasn't for the interference of the Malfoy family.

The only reason Georgie hadn't broken down, earlier, was because he at least knew more about his Tenza heritage... still, hearing how insane his siblings lives were, in person...

Neville put a gentle hand on his new brother's shoulder. "Hey come on. With all you can teach us, about being Tenza-"

Georgie cut him off. "I know... I know..." That was all he was good for.

Neville sighed, "My accomplishments always seem so meager, when compared to my friends. It doesn't help the board of directors basically fired me, So I could go to Monster School."

Draco sighed, "My only accomplishment was not getting thrown in the veil."

Georgie gaped at his brothers.

Neville lightly shoved Georgie's shoulder. "You work for Unit, man. How cool is that?"

"And Malfoy completely deserved the Veil," Added Hermione. Getting a glare from Draco.

Georgie slowly smiled, realizing, all of his siblings, were making an effort to include him. They had all known each other for decades. Yet Georgie wasn't being left in the dust.
