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
Harry:
Harry turned quickly at the sound of Gomamon's panicked cries and a soft 'thump'. He blinked at the unconscious boy as the others ran towards him. He glanced at his 'mother', who raised a brow at him.
"Is he like this all the time?" Her voice was roughly deep but it was definitely female. He shrugged and passed Choromon over to her.
"I don't really know. I only met them a little while ago. Oh, that reminds me, we got cornered by Drimogimon again." His mother growled in annoyance and he saw Mimi edge closer to Sora as the short-haired girl prodded Joe back into wakefulness. She shook her head in annoyance.
"I'll be sure to have a heart to heart some time soon." Harry grinned maliciously.
"Glad to hear it." He heard footsteps and turned to see Matt and TK and their respective digimon approaching. "Hey. Mum, this is Matt and Gabumon, and this is TK and Tokomon; the digidestined. Digidestined, this is my mum, Weregarurumon."
The digimon both said eager hellos but it was TK's reaction that made him smile, "Are you a werewolf? Mom and Dad told me they didn't exist, but I told them they did. You believed me right Matt?" As his mother spoke with the excitable digidestined Harry turned to Matt, who was looking at his little brother fondly. Strangely the blonde boy reminded him of a mix between Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley. It was a strange and slightly worrying mix. He appeared arrogant and 'cool' but he was fiercely protective over his younger sibling.
Matt looked up at him. He seemed to be contemplating something before finally saying, "Thanks for defending Joe." Harry blinked at him and he elaborated, "He was just trying to save our lives. I'm the oldest, I should have made completely sure that everything was safe and that we had rations and protection but because I lost my cool he had to take care of it." Harry nodded thoughtfully. It sounded exactly how he felt when he'd learned that he'd forced Neville to protect everyone while he was searching for the horcruxes.
"I get it. Don't feel like you need to take care of everything though, you'll just burn yourself out for good that way." Matt looked a little annoyed at his advice but nodded grudgingly. "Honestly, I think delegating some tasks to Tai would help, he seems to have a good head on his shoulders, even if he is a little brash and reckless."
Matt shrugged, mumbling under his breath, "A little reckless is being too kind." Harry smirked and Matt shrugged, "Whatever." He turned his attention back to his little brother her had just approached them, looked excited.
"Weregarurumon is a Werewolf!" Then he looked a little disappointed, "It's just that she can't turn into a human and she's a wolf even though it's not the fullmoon." Matt smiled and ruffled his hair.
"Thanks for clearing that up TK, I was wondering." Harry knew he was just humoring the younger boy but TK gave him the most adorable childishly innocent smile he'd ever seen and he knew that if he'd said that he hadn't cared the younger boy would never had given that expression and he smiled slightly. It was nice to know that these children were still innocent, despite the tasks that were laid on their shoulders.
The smile dropped off his face without him noticing it as he remembered when he had been that naïve; when his biggest worries were braving the constant bickering of his two closest friends, the brash redhead and the bookish brunette. He let out a long breath and shook his head sadly. When his eyes focused on the present once more he saw Matt looking at him strangely but he just gave him a smile and turned back to his mother.
"Mum, they needed somewhere to stay, do you think they could stay at our house for a while. I know uncle wouldn't mind, and Choromon likes them too! Please?" His mother looked at him shrewdly for a few seconds before she decided to reply, Choromon nestled in the fur on her shoulders.
"They can stay for a day or two. There's something strange going on though and Garurumon and I are planning on going out to investigate soon. Would you like to come?" Harry couldn't help but glance at Matt at the question and the blond blinked in surprise at the reaction.
He looked down at Gabumon who shrugged, "You seem to know what you're doing, so if it's up to me then I say you can come."
Weregarurumon was looking fondly down at her fosterling. She'd known his answer the second the hesitance entered his eyes, the glance toward the fair-haired one named Matt had only confirmed it for her and Harry knew it. He smiled up at the digimon that had taken up an empty space in his heart that had existed since he was placed on the Dursley's doorstep and responded, "No, I think I'll stay with them."
TK heard his statement and let out a happy whoop, spinning around Tokomon happily, "Did you hear that Tokomon? Hadrian is going to travel with us!"
Harry laughed as the white digimon answered dizzily, "Yeah TK, that's great." He turned just as his mother turned towards the forest.
"What's up?" She didn't answer for a moment then turned back to the digidestined who had been slowly inching forwards after seeing that TK and Matt hadn't been harmed. Harry frowned.
His mother was quick to reassure him, "It's nothing bad, I just thought I heard your uncle and now that he's not coming out I'm worried he might play a prank on the digidestined." Harry palmed his forehead, cursing that even after being displaced in time (and space too by the looks of it) he'd have a prankster as a sort of god-father/uncle.
"Did someone say prank?" Tai butted in cheerfully and Harry shook his head despairingly.
"Don't say it so loud! If he really is here that's all the prompting he needs!" Weregarurumon laughed a deep rumbling laugh, her hand falling from stroking her youngest son on her shoulder when Harry glowered over at her.
"Come digidestined, Harry, we may as well be on our way. Follow me." Harry was twitchy as he followed his mother closely into the dense forest and the digidestined probably thought he was just overreacting- pff he'd like to see them survive that Treasure Hunt From Hell that his 'uncle' had sent him on.
He'd just started to trail a little behind his mother when she disappeared into a bush in front of him. He and the others followed and the last thing he thought before gravity claimed him and the fourteen others was, What? Mother was in on it too? Those two are going down!
A/N: I updated- you can stop with the death threats now! Just kidding, you can still threaten to rip my innards out if that really makes you happy.
Summer's Vice: Yeah, that's why he was mistaken as a Wizardmon by Drimogimon. I'm contemplating making it strange compared to the magic in the HP books though so we'll see.
ShinobiTwin05: Technically no, but yep. I think that was answered this chapter actually Xp
Gothicgirl12: Nah, I think he just wanted to avoid the question. If I find a way to work it in I'll change my tune in later chapters but I'm writing it as it comes and have no outline for this story so it's really up in the air. And thank you for your support. It is very much appreciated.
Roserader: I think you made my brain explode with creativity- I'm currently copy/paste-ing your review somewhere so I can reference it when I write. Thank you for your input! I'll definitely take some- if not all- of your thoughts into consideration!
pokedoss9: o.O I posted! I posted! Happy? Lol you're actually the reason I'm posting at 11:40 at night. I saw your review and it made me smile. Keep up the death threats!
Blue Mana: 'Death be not kind'- I like making a disgruntled Death actually. It kinda fits with how most people would react if they found out that they suddenly had a master and they were an 'inferior being's slave'. It is partially the DH's part though, that I will concede.
