Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, not a thing. I just like pulling the strings while the real owners are not looking ^_^

A/N: Okay so here is the poll choice, I have the day off because we're having some work done on the house. It's a little boring but I can at least get this typed and uploaded (I've had parts of the idea written for a while so I'm really only fleshing it out, making it more than a few lines on a napkin or a receipt.) Anyway I hope you enjoy and remember reviews are nice but no mandatory (you can even be an anon and flame me, at least it'll keep me warm for the winter :P)

Title: Shinigami? Master of Death?

Category: Harry Potter x Death Note (Crossover)

Characters: Harry Potter, Ryuk

Summary: As Master of Death he seemed to be the most entertaining thing to the shinigami.

Words: 547

"Hyuk Hyuk."

Harry paused, receiving a questioning look from both Ron and Hermione, his green gaze moving towards the red marking above their heads and further up into the face of a skeletal being. He frowned, and quickly looked at his friends, it was obvious they hadn't heard the beings laughter, and why should they? They weren't like him anymore, or was it because he wasn't like them anymore?

"Harry, mate, what's wrong?" Harry blinked and looked at Ron, ignoring the number's that told him his friend was going to die at the grand age of 143. The skeletal being smiled and promptly turned himself upside down, knowing exactly how to annoy the green eyed boy.

"Nothing, so I'll see you later." Ron smiled.

"Yeah, wouldn't want to miss one of mums dinner's." Hermione smiled as she hugged Harry, and Ron pulled him in for a one armed hug, before they both left with a flash of green flames.

"Could you at least try to be patient and leave me along with my friends for once?" He glared at the skeletal being who was now trying to look through the ceiling, as if he had x-ray vision.

"Hyuk Hyuk." Harry growled low in his throat and stormed from the room, three weeks after all the funerals and trials had been held the skeletal being had appeared. At first Harry had thought it was him seeing things, PTSD and all that, but after a while he realised the thing was following him and the red digits had begun to appear above people's heads. He now avoided hospitals at all costs and anywhere there were sick and old people, which meant he stayed at Grimmauld place most of the time.

He'd refused to go back for his 8th year, the classes were held in the Ministry and he was sure that that place was still insecure, even with Arthur Weasley as Minister, and that was when the skeletal being had introduced himself (as well as dropping a black book called the Death Note on the desk in front of him)

"Haru."

"It's Harry, not Haru."

"Haru, you got any apples?" Harry sighed as he opened a cupboard door in the kitchen and threw one of the apples behind him.

"Ryuk, why are you still here?" He turned and screwed his face up in disgust at the way he could still see the apple between the bones of Ryuk's ribcage.

"You're entertaining, and I'm bored." Harry sighed, the shinigami was always bored, it was one of the reasons he had to keep disappearing so he could retrieve all the Death Note's the skeletal things dropped. All for fun, he snorted, shinigami were just Dark Lords posing as ferrymen to the afterlife (he was still waiting for the day when he'd see Voldemort as one).

"You're always bored. Why don't you follow someone else around, like a ghost or something?" Harry watched at the shinigami smiled, all of his sharks teeth on display in a way that would scare even war veterans, all Harry did was blink and sigh.

"I know, I know, I'm more entertaining." He rubbed a hand over his face, "You're bloody lucky I don't just order you to stay in the realm of the shinigami!"

"Hyuk! Hyuk!"
