Author: Jaysnow-Silverblaze

Beta: N/A

Rating: K+

Pairing: Undecided, possibly Harry/Sora, possibly none (suggestions are welcome and encouraged!)

Summary: Appearing in a confusing wave of distorted data the seven digidestined enter the digiworld. Years, decades, before their time an immortal and frustrated wizard made a deal with Death. In return for the Resurection stone he may have a chance to start over- but Death is a fickle partner and the deal is twisted, leaving him in an eleven year-old body, immortal and unchanging.

Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter or Digimon- but if I owned a digimon I would be wooping for joy right about now.

Side note: All chapters will be from one character's 3rd person POV every other chapter will be from Harry's


Joe:

Joe pushed up his glasses, Gomamon turning in his arms to look at their new… friend? Hadrian hadn't answered Agumon's question yet and Joe frowned, his mind running through all of their conversations with him. What did they actually know about him anyways?

He was a human- as far as they knew- and yet he'd been there for a long time- possibly anywhere from four years to a few months- he wouldn't remember humans as well if he'd been younger than seven but it couldn't be less than a month from the way he seemed to know things about this place. He had a digimon that Yokomon- Piyomon now- mentioned was a baby. He had done something that made the drill-armed digimon angry enough to say he'd kill him (quite seriously as well), and he froze up when Agumon asked him if he was something called a Wizardmon. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and pushed his glasses up again.

Hadrian was petting his metal mouse-like digimon- Choromon if he remembered correctly. Everyone was staring at him. Finally he sighed, "I'm not a Wizardmon." Joe wondered if he was the only one who caught the stress on the 'mon'. "I… know one though and Drimogemon must have thought that we were the same person. " He shrugged helplessly but Joe had a feeling there were things he wasn't saying.

He stepped forwards with Gomamon in his arms. "How do we know we can trust you?" Surprisingly only Tai argued in Hadrian's favor; the rest were still looking shaken from the fight, though Sora seemed mostly recovered.

The other eleven year old was looking at him then and he took a step back, fiddling with the strap of his bag but refusing to back down. Hadrian shrugged, "I didn't do anything that bad to Drimogemon you know- or I didn't try to. I was just playing a prank and it went wrong, kinda collapsed half of his tunnels…" He looked sheepish again but Joe looked at him incredulously.

"You destroyed his home? And you didn't expect him to come after you?" Sora butted in about then.

"He didn't mean to- didn't you hear him? Come on Joe, he hasn't done anything to hurt us."

"Don't dismiss him." The words were hard and a little cold and everyone looked at Hadrian strangely- Joe was no exception. It wasn't as though it didn't hurt him that everyone thought he was a paranoid wimpy nerd but he was prepared to put up with it because what else could he do? Hadrian was looking right at him and their eyes met- his wide and surprised and his accepting. His words were spoken to those around them but he kept his eyes on Joe's, "You know nothing of the world you have just entered, caution is always warranted. I am not a threat to you but I could have been. Joe is right to question me." Their eyes remained locked for a small while then Joe blinked and Hadrian was looking down at Choromon.

The other children looked at each other warily. The only ones who didn't seem concerned were Mimi- who was raking her fingers though her semi-tangled hair viciously- and TK who was playing with Tokomon.

Tai recovered first. "So… where did you say your home was?" Hadrian blinked at him and Joe rolled his eyes.

"Oh, right. Here, it's this way." Joe couldn't stop thinking about how his entire attitude had changed when Sora had brushed him off. He couldn't put it behind him and so he sped up his footsteps to the other boy, leaving someone else to be sweep this time.

As he walked Gomamon piped up from where he'd climbed on his head, "That was really nice of him. Don't you think Joe?" Joe nodded slightly, pushing his glasses up.

"Yeah, it was. I just don't know why he did it." He had just caught up with Hadrain who looked up from where he was stroking Choromon's back. "uh- hi Hadrian."

Hadrian smiled slightly, "You can call me Harry if you want." He frowned slightly then, "Are they always like that to you?"

Joe shrugged uncomfortably. He really didn't dislike the others it was just…, "Sometimes. But they're kids it's what they do." There was a flicker of a bitter smile over Harry's face.

"Yeah, I know what that's like."

"Why did you defend me?" Gomamon was evidently tired of being on his head because he scrambled down, forcing Joe to hold him in his arms. After a second of annoyance Joe realized that the- his?- digimon was actually cuddling with him. He tightened his hold on the creature with a slight smile.

Harry was smiling at him when he looked back up at him. He let Choromon into his pocket where it moved around a bit before settling- presumably to sleep then he crossed his hands behind his head thoughtfully. "I had a friend like you. She was really really smart and she loved to read." He shot a glance at Joe, "She also couldn't keep her mouth shut about how much she knew, which drove people away. You don't seem to do that but I can see the similarities."

Joe bit his lip and looked down. Something just wasn't adding up here. Slowly he opened his mouth and asked, "Exactly how long have you been here?" The boy next to him tensed slightly.

"A long time." Before Joe could question him further his head shot up. "Mum!"

That was the only warning Joe- and the others- got before there was a crack of a broken branch and something came out of the forest in front of them. It looked exactly like what Joe had always imagined a werewolf would look like… just more fur. It also appeared to have clothes on though; and… brass knuckles? Oh yeah, those were definitely brass knuckles.

So when Harry left his side and rushed at the creature he did what he always suspected he'd do in a situation like that- he fainted.


A/N: Ha! I updated sooner than in five or six months! I'm so proud. Just kidding. Anyways please review. I'll always answer questions- which reminds me:

Gothicgirl12: Sorry but I really can't answer that- it's one of the mysteries of the story ;P but I will say that you are closer than the other reviewers as your little hint ^^

Nate the Werehog: I hope this answered your questions but about the Wizardmon part- the same thing I said to Gothicgirl12- it's a secret

Kyrianae Narji: Actually the name just sounded cool. The Beta part is because the testers or original reviewers of a game are the 'Betas' so I thought it appropriate since he came before the digidestined and all that (doesn't really make sense now that I think about it) and the eleven because he's immortal and stuck in an eleven year old body. Hope that answered your question!

And thank you to all my other reviewers too! I love you all ^^ See you next time.
