Sorry this took so long to get out and that it's so short; things have been quite hectic for me lately and I've had massive writers block for this story. Some of you have expressed a desire for some steamy man on man action between Uta and Harry. I am considering it but it's still up in the air. Who knows, they might not even get together XD
On a side note we reached 400 follows! Thank you so much! Please leave a review!

I do not own Tokyo ghoul or Harry Potter
It had all been going smoothly and according to plan, until it suddenly wasn't anymore. Harry wasn't sure where the ghoul had come from, nor how he could see them, but somehow he could. And now Harry, Luna and Draco were fighting desperately to escape.
They hadn't called the others for help yet, hadn't really had a chance to. Draco stood a distance away, firing arrow after arrow at the masked ghoul. Some exploded on impact, while others seemed to glow with spells. None of them affected the ghoul in the slightest.
Since Harry and Luna were close range fighters they'd tried to get close enough to the man so that they could strike him but had so far been unsuccessful. After firing of another round of spells from his gun, which were battered out of the air by the man, Harry tossed his gun to the side in annoyance.
They had tried not to use excessive amounts of magic so not to catch the muggles attention or cause to much damage but it looked like he didn't have much of a choice. "Luna, Draco you go on ahead. I'll catch up with you later."
Draco looked like he was going to argue, but when he saw Harry's determined face, he seemed to realise that things were going to get destructive, and being as far away as possible was probably a good idea. Luna just nodded, dreamy expression replaced with one far more serious.
Draco lowered his bow, and together, he and Luna ran further into the abandoned mall.
Once his friends were a safe distance away Harry turned to survey the silent ghoul. His mask was white with a large warped smile painted on it. A high pony tail trailed down the man's back and he was wearing dark burgundy cloak.
Harry cracked his knuckles, the sound echoing ominously in the empty room. Calling forth his magic he basked in the feeling of his magic cocooning him. To anyone watching it looked like he was suddenly surrounded with emerald flames tinged with black.
With his magic surrounding and flowing from him like this he was ten times more powerful than an average wizard. He couldn't hold it more than a few hours but he should be able to beat the bastard before he ran out of energy. Once the fight was over he'd just absorb some energy from his surroundings and he'd be back to normal. For now he just had to focus on not accidently demolishing the building. That would probably be bad.
Line-Break
Ron led the group, Neville and Hermione flanking him on either side. He didn't show it but he was terrified, terrified for his brother. His family had already lost so much, he didn't know if his family would be able to stand losing George as well. But George was strong; he'd have to trust that his brother wouldn't give in without a fight.
Line-Break
George glanced over at his fellow torture sufferer. George didn't know how much longer Kaneki could last; it looked like he was on his last legs. He glanced at the other male's hair and attempted to lighten the mood. "You know if your hair keeps turning white you're going to look like an old man."
Kaneki's hair was littered with strands of snow white hair that clashed with the hair that was still black. Between his pained panting Kaneki managed to let out a low "You too." George had to admit the kid had a point. He could see his fringe and he too had strands of white hair scattered amongst the ginger.
Before he could answer a rumble shook the building and George sensed a familiar (and slightly overwhelming) magical presence. A genuine smile made its way to his bruised and beaten face. "I guess you won't have to worry about looking like an old man after all Kaneki. My friends are here to get us out."
Line-Break
Ron swore under his breath when he felt Harry's magic unfurl. He was on the other side of the building and yet the strength of his friend's magic nearly made him stumble. He wondered what had caused Harry to go kamikaze mode. He pitied whichever poor bastard had thought it was a good idea to piss of Harry Potter. Actually no, he didn't pity them at all; bastard probably deserved whatever they got.
Ron suddenly changed directions when he felt his brother's presence on the edge of his senses. Hermione and Neville followed him without questioning his sudden change of direction; they could probably sense George as well. Ron's pace sped up as he felt him nearing his brother.
The room was locked but a quick 'alohamora' fixed that problem. Opening the door the three quickly ran towards the two slouched figure tied to harsh metal chairs. They dropped the spells that hid them and George smiled at them in relief "'Bout time you got here." Hermione quickly began to free who they assumed was Kaneki of his binds while Ron and Neville worked on freeing George.
Neville fiddled with his bracelet, sending out a message saying they'd gotten George and it was safe for them to leave. Hermione once again proved that she was far stronger than she looked as she easily picked up Kaneki's limp form. George was able to stand but he had to lean heavily on Ron and Neville for support.
And after glancing at each other they apparated away, the noise of their apparition echoing around the now empty torture chamber.
Line-Break
Harry toed the limp form that lay before him. The fight had been pretty even before Harry had managed to hit the ghoul with a powerful dark curse. He couldn't really remember what the curse did but he knew it was painful. Harry pouted childishly "And here I thought that you'd actually be challenge. Guess I was wrong."
Harry absently scratched at the large gash that ran down his arm. He knew from experience that it would be gone in a matter of minutes; it wouldn't even leave a scar. Harry tensed when he heard a quiet but steady beeping coming from the ghoul's unconscious form.
It sounded like a timer. He urgently searched the ghoul's pockets for whatever was emitting the beeping. He paled drastically when he found out that it was a timer, most likely counting down till a bomb exploded. According to the timer the only had a few minutes to get away. He was about to go rushing off when he felt his bracelet heating up. Glancing down at it Harry sagged with relief when it flashed the message that meant that they'd found George and were leaving.
He trusted Draco and Luna to leave but he knew the ghouls were still in the abandoned mall. Uta was in there somewhere and Harry wasn't leaving till he knew he was safe. Damn his saving people thing.
Line-Break
Draco swore under his breath. He quickly ducked, barely dodging the deadly swing of the scythe. This kid was insane. He didn't even have a chance to draw his bow to retaliate. He was too busy focusing all his attention and magic on not being beheaded.
The teen that was attacking them had crazed red eyes and white hair that was littered with speckles of blood. That paired with his strange clothing made him seem like Luna's long lost sibling, only more bloodthirsty and manic.
The teen had seemed pretty harmless so they had thought that they could take him out with a simple stunner and keep going. But somehow the kid had dodged the spell and they'd been forced to drop the spells hiding them in order to fight back. Luna rushed past him and succeeded into pushing the crazed teen a few steps backwards.
He felt his bracelet heat up and within a second he'd reached out to grab Luna before apparating them both away.
Line-Break
Harry closed his eyes. He could all sense that his friends had safely gotten away but right now he was more focused on the ghouls. Not only did he have to warn them but he also had to tell them that they'd gotten Kaneki.
Sensing Uta and two other ghouls, one of which he identified as Yomo, he apparated to where they were.
The ghouls started when he appeared with an echoing crack but he didn't focus on that. "You need to leave. We've already gotten Kaneki and George but we think that there's a bomb in the building. Don't worry about the others; I'll make sure they get out on time."
His message delivered he was about to turn and apparate again when he felt someone grab onto his arm. Turning slightly his eyes met Uta's. He was sure that Uta had figured out who he was which was why he didn't fight back when Uta pulled down his hood before leaning forward and kissing him chastely.
"Be careful." Harry nodded "I will be." Grabbing the front of Uta's top he pulled the ghoul in for another quick kiss. Uta seemed shocked at first but it quickly shifted into fondness as he kissed back.
Yomo cleared his throat and they both startled. Harry tore himself away from Uta and shifted awkwardly. "Well, I'll be off then."
Line-Break
It didn't take long for him to alert all the ghouls and make sure they got out before the bomb went off. He even went as far as to call and give the CCG an anonymous tip about it. Because of his warning the number of casualties was lower than it otherwise would have been.
Harry himself had apparated to the designated safe house a split second before the bomb went off. He was now lying sprawled on the couch in the apartment that Ron and Hermione owned. Neville was in the spare bedroom healing George and Kaneki, both who were unconscious.
Luna was in the kitchen, making everyone some tea while Draco was checking his bow for any damage. Ron and Hermione stood before him, their arms crossed over their chests.
"Okay spill. And no skipping over the details, we want the full story." Harry had to fight the urge to groan and bury his face in his hands. This wasn't going to end well.
