Bleach / Harry Potter Crossover
Alternative Tri-wizard Tournament – Task 1 -
"AND NOW! THE FOURTH CHAMPION! APPEARED IN A BLINDING LIGHT IN THE GREAT HALL ONCE HIS NAME CAME OUT OF THE GOBLET OF FIRE! HARRRY POTTEEER!" Ludo Bagman called out, pleased by the cheering of the crowd.
"Sigh! Here we go, ready to take care of this...I just hope Zaraki-taicho will never discover this, he won't like hearing how I wasted time in "games" like this," the young man said with a sigh, walking out of the tent with an annoyed expression.
Noticing her friends' curious expression at his attire, the Ravenclaw student Cho Chang explained that he was wearing a black short-sleeved kimono with white bandages underneath and a lavender scarf, he was carrying a long Japanese sword tied to his obi sash.
"YOUR TIME STARTS NOW, MISTER POTTER!" Bagman said, the Sonorus Charm having problems contrasting the cheering of the public.
"Aye-aye! I heard ya!" the young man said in annoyance, his body disappearing in an instant to dodge the torrent of flames coming from the dragon's mouth.
"I guess we'll have to kill it, ne?" he said while unsheathing his sword, a pale white blade with an equally white scabbard covered with a black cloth, the hand-guard a simple-looking circle with inscriptions on it.
"GRAAAAAH!" the dragon roared, charging forward and biting down on the sword that did not break even under the strong grip of the beast.
"You want to kill it? Okay then as long as you are happy," the young man said with a sigh, surprising the audience by pushing the dragon back with his sword.
"Karera wa shi no rarabai kiite mimashou, Indou no Hime! (Let them hear Death's Lullaby, Princess of the Requiem!)" Harry intoned, requiring several people to translate for the others watching, to everyone's awe the sword grew in size and separated in two parts becoming a pair long swords with a wide rectangular blade and joined together by a long chain of iron bars with a wide disk of metal acting as link for the two chains.
"Incredible! That sword must be magical to change like that!" Bagman said in surprise.
"She is not just magical, she is one of a kind...my very own Princess of Blood!" the young man said, moving his blades in a cross movement and cutting off the dragon's tail easily.
"I am Harui, Twelfth Seat of the 11th Division of Gotei 13 under Zaraki Kempachi orders, learn my name...it will be the last thing you will ever hear," Harui said with a smirk, jumping high in the sky and remaining there, standing as if on the ground.
"GRAAAAAH!" bellowing in anger the dragon broke free of its chains, flying towards the young man in order to swallow him whole.
"Let's cut the bastard in two, Indou no hime!" Harui said with a crazed smile, diving towards the dragon.
The two met half-way in the sky, the beast launching a sea of fire against the Champion while the other just dived through the flames without apparent damages so to cut away the dragon's wings, making the beast pummel to the ground while shrieking in pain.
"You know how I fight? I dismember my enemy a piece at a time, but I am not one to kill without a good reason, you are now crippled, stop fighting and let me complete my mission, otherwise I will continue dissecting you until nothing remains," the young man said with a cold voice, licking away the drop of blood near his mouth.
"Grrrr!" the dragon growled in defiance, stopping abruptly when a 'Weight' lodged itself on her shoulders, making the beast move back.
"This is called Reiatsu, in your Language "Spiritual Pressure", but I guess your are just sensing my being dangerous thorough instinct more than with spiritual awareness," Harui said, his body shining in a blue aura momentarily.
Once the beast had been subdued, the young man simply grabbed the golden egg and walked towards the tent, changing his pair of sword back into a singular blade half-way there.
Uncaring of how many points he earned he walked towards a secluded area to see if he could call Soul Society about his appearance there without his powers reduced and about the fact people could somehow see him and even 'touch' him even in his Soul State.
Second Task -
"I actually don't have someone HERE to worry about, how did you find an Hostage for me?" Harui asked.
"We had some problems, yes, since you did not actually showed ties with anybody in particular we had to improvise," Bagman answered.
"So?" the young man asked.
"We have asked to one of our students to take the role of the Hostage, Mister Longbottom was gentle enough tom accept," the other answered.
"Uhm, okay...I'll see what I can do," Harui answered, raising his blade and covering it in the same blue aura he showed with the dragon.
"Uuun...AH!" giving a great slash the young man launched a wide explosion of energy, obliterating the water and leaving the bewildered mermen looking around for the water that had simply evaporated in an instant.
A flash-step later a young boy was being accompanied by Harui towards the medical tent.
"You okay?" Harui asked.
"That was bloody awesome!" the boy said.
"Uh-hu! You should feel lucky it was not my Captain doing that, he never shows restrain so he would have just turned the whole area into a smocking crater and be happy with that, I tried to be as much gentle as I could," he said with a chuckle.
"Gentle?!" the Gryffindor boy said with wide eyes.
"Oh, yes, I can MUCH more than that if I want to, what's your name?" the young man asked.
"Neville, Neville Longbottom," Neville answered.
"Nice to meet you, Neville-san, thank you for being my Hostage, had you been a girl...I fear my girlfriend would not have been as understanding," Harui said.
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes, Rangiku-chan can be pretty possessive if she wants to," he answered.
Later that day – Hogwarts – Headmaster's office -
"Thank you for accepting my invitation, my boy," Albus said, indicating an empty seat in his office to the young man, the other people in the office never missing a move as he moved.
"It seemed important, can I ask who are those people?" Harui answered with a nod.
"They are Hogwards Head of Houses, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, the last two old friends of your late parents," Albus answered.
"You know Lily-okaasan and James-otousan? They talked a lot about you, I am happy to finally meet you in person!" Harui answered with a smile.
"How come you talked about those two, boy? Lily is dead," Snape said with an offended sneer.
"Dead? Of course she is, but so am I," the young man answered calmly.
"WHAT?!" Albus and McGonagall yelled.
"Yes, I had to ask around but I got the full story, I died of pneumonia that very same night of November when you, McGonagall-san and Hagrid-san left me on that doorstep," Harui explained.
"ALBUS!" Sirius, Remus, Pomona and Flitwick yelled at the same time, glaring at the two with narrowed eyes.
"Then why you are here?" Snape asked.
"After finding me, my parents took care of me until one day we got contacted by Soul Society, since I showed a very good spiritual Power I had been offered to become a Shinigami, I accepted and was trained since I was ten, I had just returned from my first mission when I got here," Harui said.
"If you are dead, why we can interact with you?" Albus asked, still shocked at missing the fact that the boy he had left was now DEAD.
"I asked back in Soul Society, the most accredited theory is that the Magic that summoned me is also giving me a "temporary body" to interact with you, Mayuri-san said that I can just "physically" exist here, I am still dead by all means, I just act like a corporeal soul," the young man answered.
"Incredible," Albus muttered.
"I saw you talk to your sword, why?" Flitwick asked.
"You mean my Zanpakutou?" Harui asked back.
"Yes," the small professor said with a nod.
"A Zanpakutou is the trademark weapons of a Shinigami, capable of cutting spiritual bodies, each Shinigami carries a Zanpakutō, and each Zanpakutō is unique in both power and personality, they are being in themselves who tend to be highly temperamental since their mood is determined by how they are treated by their respective Shinigami and their overall personality. This allows a Shinigami to partially determine whether or not it will achieve its true power," the young man answered.
"True power?" Albus asked, his curiosity perking up instantly.
"In order to achieve the Full Power of my Zanpakutou I had to first earn her respect and "learn her name" which is the name of the spirit residing in the sword,this is not as easy as simply picking a name since my sword already has her own name," Harui said.
"And her name should be?" Albus asked.
"Indou no Hime...Princess of the Requiem," the young man answered, translating his sword's name for the others.
"How did you changed her shape like that? It was a Mater-Level Transfiguration," Minerva asked.
"Transfiguration? No-no, that was perfectly normal, a Zanpakutou changes shape and gains special abilities when its owner chants a Kaigo, or release incantation, using the Kaigo followed by the name of the Zanpakutō the Shikai (Initial Release) is activated, it is crucial to memorize each phrase, for every Zanpakutō has a different incantation since the commands vary between users and range from a simple imperative verb to a short poem, they often relate to the Zanpakutō's signature ability or hint at the nature of its spirit,"
"And yours is that about Death," Snape said.
"Yes, 'Let them hear Death's Lullaby' is what I have to say to achieve Shikai, my Zanpakutō is of the Melee-Type , meaning that I gain extra power in my attacks and my blade becomes stronger and sharper, the fact that she also grows in size is not a problem, she is part of my soul so I can wield her effortlessly no matter what," Harui said.
"So you unlocked its full power?" Albus asked eagerly.
"Not yet, a Zanpakutō has two additional forms known as Shikai and Bankai (Final Release), those are akin to upgrades for the Zanpakutō, giving them abilities far beyond those of their simple use as a sword, I'll need to be able to perform both of them if I want to become a captain, I am still a rookie and I entered Zaraki-Taicho's Division only last year, so I am not in an hurry," Harui answered.
"Then you need to train, otherwise you won't be able to kill the Dark Lord," Albus answered.
"You mean Tom Marvolo Riddle? We already know about him, but since he is not in our jurisdiction we can not intervene," the young man answered, shaking his head.
"But, there is a Prophecy! It says that you are destined to kill him!" the Headmaster answered.
"I will need to contact my Captain for that then, if that is true we may have a problem, especially since my death may have nullified the thing," the other answered.
"NO! The Prophecy mentions a mysterious power Voldemort knows not! Your Sword may be that very same power!" the old man said.
"Listen, the decision is not mine to make, I will contact the Gotei 13 and ask them, no risk entering a legal battle between us and the ones governing YOUR After-life," Harui answered.
"As for now focus on the last Task, then we will see what happen," McGonagall said.
"But...Minerva!" Albus said, shocked.
"WE. WILL. SEE. WHAT. WILL. HAPPEN!" the Scottish woman said, putting emphasis on each word with enough strength to crack stone with her glare.
"Okay..." the old man answered meekly.
"Ah! Before I go, you are Severus Snape, right?" Harui asked.
"Yes?" the man said with an arched eyebrow.
"My mother sends her best regards, she had long since forgiven you for that "Mudblood" comment and relinquishes you from your oath towards me," the young man said.
"R-Really?" the Potion Master asked incredulous.
"Yes, but she also says that when your time comes to not look out for her, otherwise she will make you pay for not stopping them from killing me, she doesn't openly hate you, but she won't anything to do about you anymore and will forget your very existence," the young Shinigami then added.
"I...I see..." the man said, barely masking his pained expression.
"What my father said I won't repeat, all those curses and insults may sound too much to you all, just take this advice, stay as far away as possible from James Potter when you die, he won't show mercy," Harui said.
"Thank you," Severus answered.
"Good, if you need me I will be in an isolated and calm part of your school grounds, I was trying to achieve Bankai before coming here and I don't want to waste the little progress I made," the young man said.
"Don't worry, no-one will disturb you," Minerva said.
"But..." Albus muttered.
"No-one" the stern woman repeated, watching the Shinigami disappear with his shunpo.
"The boy needs to be ready!" Dumbledore said with a whine.
"He needs his time, you heard him," Minerva answered.
Third Task -
"So, here you are," Harui said calmly, looking at the deformed baby in the rat-like man's arms.
"What's the meaning of this, Wormtail?!" Tom asked with an high-pitched voice.
"The Stunner didn't work, Master!" Wormtail answered.
"I dodged faster attacks, it's a pity that the other lackeys of you dear Death Eaters Group could not be here, but I have a job to do," the young Shinigami said with a sigh.
"Summon them, Wormtail! Summon them!" the baby said with an angry voice, making his servant move his wand on his own Dark Mark, summoning other cloaked figures around them.
"My Lord?!" Lucius Malfoy asked in horror.
"Kill Potter! Kill him!" Tom screeched, pointing towards Harui with a bony finger.
"Well, I guess Zaraki-taicho will be happy to know that I finally took part to my first slaughter, I bet he will even congratulate me!" Harui said, unsheathing his Zanpakutō with a gleeful smile.
"You think you will be able to defeat all of us with a sword, Potter?" one of the Death Eaters asked with a taunting tone.
"That toy won't save you!" another said, making the sword in the Shinigami's hand pulse in power.
"She is very susceptible and hates when people underestimate her, I just hope you had updated you Last Will before today!" the young man answered.
"KILL HIM!" Tom ordered.
"Let Them hear Death's Lullaby, Indou no Hime!" Harui chanted, turning his blade in the Shikai state and charging the Death Eaters.
It was a massacre, dodging the first cutting hex the young man bisected Bellatrix Lestrange at the chest before throwing forward both blades to grab the metallic disk connecting the two chains, using the new hold to twirl the blades around like a nunchaku and using the added range to reach the other masked men.
Dropping down to dodge a killing curse from the baby Dark Lord, Harui threw his weapon, cutting Grabble and Goyle Senior's head off and piercing Wormtail in the chest with one of the blades, forcing the running man to drop Tom.
Ignoring the roaring deformed creature, the young Shinigami focused on the remaining Death Eaters, once again grabbing his Zanpakutō and using its blade to deflect a Reducto spell, making the near Macnair explode to bits.
Raising his weapon high, Harui cleaved the actual Head of the Malfoy Family vertically in two before swinging one of the blades towards Not, beheading the last remaining Death Eater.
"And now, the last but not the least," the still pristine Shinigami said with a sigh, not even a drop of blood on his clothes no matter the massacre he just enacted.
"Why? Why you follow Dumbledore? I would make you great!" Tom said, trying to turn the young man on his side.
"I am not doing this for the so called Order of the Phoenix, I got the order from the Gotei 13, the prophecy linking me to you was enough to have your Death accept our intervention here," Harui answered, swatting away the baby's wand and kneeling to be eye-level with him.
"You can't kill me! I am Immortal!" the Dark Lord said in defiance.
"Actually, we can instead, we researched the matter and found a way to force the fragment of your soul in that body and the various others you have hidden here and there in the underworld where you will be judged, just a word of advice, your Death won't show mercy since you escaped his grasp all this time," Harui answered, getting up and sheathing his sword.
"You are bluffing!" Tom said.
"No he is not...so he is the one you were talking about?" a tall man asked with a calm tone.
"Yes, Byakuya-sama, I take Zaraki-taicho was not happy to know you would have took care of this?" Harui asked.
"Yes, he was quite vocal once known that I would have come here, he said that I had no right to interfere in a mission of his Division, but he had to relent under Yamamoto-sama's orders," Byakuya answered.
"I still have to master the Kido branch of our abilities, we could not risk failing," Harui said.
"Exactly, now, first use Konsou (Soul Burial) to try to send his soul to their Underworld, that, paired with the Purification Powers of our Zanpakutō, will strain the Magic holding him alive to its limits, I will then use a variation of Hadō 90. Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin) to destroy the power binding the soul fragment in his body, doing this will disrupt the Magic enough to make it crumble, when finally his soul will depart the other fragments will be forced to follow it, the Horcrux magic too weakened to stop them," Byakuya answered.
"I'll do it immediately, Byakuya-sama," Harui answered, once again kneeling in front of Tom.
"NO! STOP! I forbid you!" the Dark Lord said in a mixture of anger and fear.
"You have no say in this, I am sorry," the young man answered, tapping Tom's forehead with the handle of his sword.
Immediately the deformed baby started to scream in pain while trashing on the ground, a dark aura surrounding his body making him scream louder in agony.
"Step aside, now!" Byakuya ordered, rising his hand and pointing a finger to the sky.
"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny eternity! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt Life! Crawling queen of iron and blood! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness and demise! Hadou 90. Oiharau Kurohitsugi!" (Exorcising Black Coffin) Byakuya intoned, summoning around Tom purple and black spiritual energy, enveloping him with a powerful torrent of gravity immediately taking the form of a box of black energy covered in several spear-like protrusions, once those pierced the box a blood curling scream could be heard.
As the tall coffin of energy slowly crumbled to dust, a little spark of energy moved towards the sky soon followed by others of various sizes, all of them joining into one before disappearing.
"It is done, I will return to Soul Society, I expect a copy of your report, a detailed one, congratulations Harui-san, you showed great promises to become a good Shinigami," Byakuya said.
"Thank you, Byakuya-sama, and also, thank you for your help," Harui said with a bow, both ignoring the rapidly decaying corpse of Tom as it took fire by itself from the remaining magic leaving it.
Back to Hogwarts -
"Well, I guess this is a farewell," Harui said with a sad tone.
"Say hello to your pops when you see him, pup," Sirius said, trying valiantly to not cry.
"And tell your mother that we are sorry for not helping you," Lupin added with a discreet sob.
"Hoy! Cheer up! You two are Marauders! You should bring laughs, not tears!" the young man said.
"We'll try, promise," Sirius answered, forcing a smile on his face.
"You butchered our Ministry, but it was expected with all those Death Eaters taking powerful positions...it will be a painful job repairing the damages," Amelia Bones said with a sigh of dismay.
"I can only say that it wasn't intentional, I just defended myself," Harui answered with a grin.
"The Tournament is over, thank you for donating those galleons to Saint Mungo Hospital," Minerva said with a sad smile.
"Is not like I could have used them, I better get going before my girlfriend gets impatient and..."
"HARUIIIIII!" a woman in a black kimono yelled, playfully tackling the young man.
"You couldn't wait, eh? Rangiku?" Harui answered with a chuckle.
The VERY curvaceous woman just sighed and smothered her chest a little on his back, gaining some surprised looks from the ones presents.
"You should pay more attention to your girlfriend, women love to be the centre of attention," she said with a whine.
"Okay-okay, I am sorry," the young man muttered, making her smirk in victory and hug him tighter.
"Damn...things are bigger in the afterlife..." Sirius muttered.
"Definitely," Remus muttered with raised eyebrows.
Once returned to Soul Society Harui had to withstand a fierce chewing from both Zaraki and Yachiru for having Byakuya take part to the mission, luckily for the young man Ichigo Kurosaki happened to pass by, tossing the Substitute Shinigami towards the Battle-lover Captain gave Harui a good enough opening to run away while Kempachi and Kurosaki started fighting.
The end! XD a little thing, what do you think should be Harry (Harui) Bankai? Tell me in the reviews, I will wait ^ ^
See ya!
