Chaos Destiny

Chapter 2

The red headed lady in front of him seemed to come to her senses.

"Are you Harry Potter?" she asked. Her voice was barely a whisper.

Harry's eyes widen. If he was normal, he would probably be worried. But he wasn't normal. Instead he had a million thoughts in his head. Was it something he said? Maybe they knew he didn't belong here? By now he had a look of confusion on his face. How does this lady know his name? Was it Nabiki?

She could have put some type of international watch on both Ranma and himself. He knew everyone was pissed at them for bolting after the failed wedding. And with Ranma's enemies? Even Ranma's own mother wanted to kill him for turning into a girl and she didn't even know about him until the wedding. Harry had been forced by Genma to remain in his ice phoenix form whenever she was around.

Harry shuddered at the thought of going back there.

He looked at the family of redheads. Than he looked around the pub. All the patrons seemed to be a little round in the middle. The exception were the other kids around. Do these people even exercise? He was sure he can take on anyone - No problem. He was the fittest here. But how did these people know him? They don't look like the type to use the internet, knowing that they were this far away from Japan that would be the only way Nabiki could afford to get a message out. Then again, Japan's technology was eons ahead of the rest of the world. He doubted Europe or even America had a market for computers for people that were not hackers or gamers. Ranma had recently purchased a Commodore Amiga for strategy games and such for rainy weather – but it was more so for Harry's use.

And did he just see someone using a quill? He slowly backed away from the table. Where was he?

MWMWMWMW

Molly Weasley saw how nervous he looked. Did he just shudder? Molly knew this was Harry Potter and he was afraid of something. She saw he was backing away.

"Wait!" She yelled out, "I'm not going to hurt you Harry." She tried to use a soothing tone of reassurance but in her excitement it was a little loud. A little too loud. Everyone in the pub had stopped talking and was now looking at them or specifically Harry. The noise level stopped completely around them.

HPSHPSHPS

'I'm not going to believe this' Harry thought as he looked around. Everyone was now watching him. Some openly gasped when they saw him. Harry was confused as to why? Nabiki didn't have that much money on the return of them? He looked back at the woman who called him. She still had a soothing motherly look on her voice. The other red heads at the table were looking at him in awe.

'They will trick you' he thought. Something is going on. His eyes turned cold.

"You liar! You work for her... Well we are not going back there to die" Harry angrily accused and turned away. He didn't wait for an answer. He only knew he had to get out of here.

MWMWMW

All the Weasley's were confused at this statement.

Molly saw Harry turn around and make a run for the door only to collide into someone.

"Bloody Hell! He ran into Snape" she heard one of her son's Fred say.

"Fred! Have better respect for your teachers!" She yelled giving Fred an angry look.

"I'm George" Is all he replied with a smirk. She was about to counter when she heard Harry yell.

"LET GO OF ME YOU GREASY GIT!" Harry yelled while struggling out of his grip.

SSSSSS

Severus Snape did not look amused.

He was not in the mood for anything. He had apparated into The Leaky Caldron and wanted to make his way into the back to Diagon Alley as quickly as possible. He was allowed time off from one of Hogwart's staff meetings. Albus had wanted him to show examples of lesson planning to Quirrell, that dunderhead of a Defense teacher and he had accidentally knocked and shattered his personal supply of ingredients all over the floor. He was in a desperate need to restock his potion supply's and he sure as bloody hell didn't want to run into students especially Gryffindors.

He was halfway to the back when he heard Molly Weasley practically yell out "Wait! I'm not going to hurt you Harry."

'Great. I had to run into the Weasley' he sarcastically thought. Did she say Harry? As in Harry Potter?

He stopped - Just in time. He didn't hear the comment the boy had replied. But the boy made a run for it. If this boy was Harry Potter, then he knew Albus would want to see him.

He intercepted Harry as he was about to leave and caught him by his shoulders. Severus almost went numb when he had confirmation and saw the lightning bolt scar. It was Potter's brat! He made a grab to keep him from running more and regretted it immediately.

"LET GO OF ME YOU GREASY GIT!" Harry yelled as he spat in his face, struggling out of his arms.

Severus ignored the laughter coming from the twins. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the boy down. He wouldn't normally try to be nice to the brat but the kid had disappeared years ago from his relatives and no one had any what this kid had gone through.

"I'm not going to hurt you Harry. Just calm down," He said while thinking this kid is strong. He had trouble holding onto his shoulders.

Harry Potter calmed down and then smirked in his face.

Severus Snape got his first taste of Anything Goes Martial Arts a second later. He didn't know what hit him as a shot of pain hit him in both knees and in his stomach in what seemed like a blurred reaction from the boy. He wheezed down to the floor of the pub in pain. Looking up - seeing that Harry was making a fast run to the door, he reacted quickly with his wand. He owed it to Lily to make sure her son was brought back safely to Hogwarts.

"STUPIFY" a red light shot out.

Severus didn't use his full power on this one – just a low powered stunning version of the spell designed for younger juveniles. The light hit Harry squarely in his back. To his shock, the boy brushed off like it was nothing.

'Impossible' thought Severus Snape. Even one of his low powered Stupify spells could bring down a fully grown adult wizard. A child his age should be knocked out – not brushing it off!

Reacting quickly he hit Harry with a full powered Stupify. This time it was strong enough to take down a fully grown Norwegian Dragon. The boy hit the floor for a second but he was still moving slightly.

Severus Snape eyes widened. 'The boy is still fighting it! Or trying to at least. He was still conscience! The kid was awake and trying to move now. He couldn't believed this kids magical power. He quickly caught up the boy. The boy was staring at him with daggers in his eyes.

"Release me" he spat.

By now Arthur and Molly Weasley ran up behind him.

"Severus you could have killed him with that" Arthur accused while looking at the boy. His eyes widened at the fact that the boy should be unconscious but wasn't.

"He could have killed me with what he did" Severus Snape was still feeling a lot of pain. A lot of pain.

"I'm taking him to Hogwarts" he said.

Both Arthur and Molly nodded.

A second later, Professor Snape forgetting about his supplies apparated with Harry Potter to the gates of Hogwarts.

RSRSRSRSRSRS

"HARRY!"

Ranma jumped up in surprise when he felt some type of magical binding hit his brother. A moment later his brother ki and magical signature faded completely from the area and appeared somewhere in Scotland? A second after that he lost his signature completely as it was cloaked by something.

"What the hell" He said out loud. His brother had been transported. But why? Did it have something to do with Nerima?

Ranma knew that Harry can take care of himself. But when he first awakened in his inverse abilities, he felt the power of his brother's scar. Only a terrible dark magic can leave a scar like that? And Harry had it since before he was at least five.

"KUSO" he swore in Japanese. Ranma quickly made his way outside and quickly jumped four stories to the rooftop of the building. He could hear people gasped in shock. Ranma didn't care.. He rarely went outside anyway. Why? Because when he was around people he was a Chaos magnet. His brother Harry too attracted Chaos but not as much as Ranma.

"RANMA SAOTOME! PREPARE TO DIE" Ryoga yelled as he charged forward.

Ranma sighed. He didn't have time for this. He'd always considered Ryoga a friend and enjoyed the sparing matches but he had to find Harry. Ranma immediately started dodging.

"HEY P-CHAN STOP!" He yelled. Ryoga didn't listen and kept charging.

Trying to dodge the fight. Ranma jumped to the next rooftop in the direction where Harry disappeared.

"Ranma you coward!" Ryoga yelled as he chased after Ranma.

'Damn I still can't lose him' Ranma always had the luck. When he wanted to have Ryoga get lost, he wouldn't. He kept roof hopping until he spotted The Leaky Caldron, feeling the magical energies he jumped down. Ryoga right behind him.

"Ranma for what you did to Akane..." Ryoga started.

"Did What? I gave her the choice. She didn't want me so I left. I haven't seen her or anyone else in Nerima in months" Ranma interrupted. He had an angry look in his eyes he continued "And when she rejected me for the thousand time, my mother witnessed it and wanted me to commit septuka. and when I refused she had me cast out of the clan." The shit I've had to deal with.

"What!" Ryoga was shocked. After Ranma had saved everyone's life.

"That's right. I have no last name." Ranma said.

RIRIRIRI

It had been many months since Ryoga had been in Nerima. He had finally accepted the fact that Akane had eyes only for Ranma and left for good. He had thought Ranma had worked it out with Akane. But it had appeared that Ranma was right about Akane's temper. He had thought Ranma was betraying Akane when he just saw him alone.

"Ranma I'm sorry," he apologized sincerely. He looked around at the unfamiliar city. Where were they anyway?

"Yeah. Harry's the only family I have left and I think he's been kidnapped," Ranma said.

Ryoga eyes bulged out. Secretly He, Ranma and Harry were like brothers. They were the only ones who knew about Ranma's past life and magic. Ranma had taught both him and Harry on how to control their curses. For that he was gratefull.

"If there's anything I can do to get Harry back I will do it," Ryoga said with determination.

Ranma nodded and smiled. Turning around he pointed at The Leaky Caldron.

"This place is magical. This was where Harry was at when he disappeared. I think Harry's alright. I don't sense evil in this place" He said.

Ryoga nodded. Since he had been cursed he had the ability to see cloaks and other types of magic. And it didn't feel evil.

"After you" Ryoga said. Not wanting to tell Ranma that he would get lost if he didn't follow him.

Both stepped into The Leaky Caldron.
