Questions (Or Things) I Decided To Answer (Or Comment On)
Q: It's fun trying to guess what Harry did to Cole... Although it would be nice to know the actual happening (hint hint).
A: (evil grin) Well…I suppose I could put that in eventually. :D
Q: Harry in every house.
A: I don't want to write an all powerful Harry, and in my mind, putting Harry in every house defeats the point.
Q: Will the hat be able to sort Harry, seeing as he's DEAD and all?
A: The hat is a magical object, so no, Harry being dead is NOT going to affect his sorting, and the hat will be able to do it. The hat will of course have it's comments on the fact that Harry is dead however.
Q: Does this mean that Cole has a soft spot for Harry?
A: How can you hang around Harry and NOT grow a soft spot for him? So yes, Cole has a soft spot for Harry.
Q: I would love a Wyatt/Harry pairing if your doing one and its slash.
A: I am trying to stick to the correct timelines as much as possible, which puts Wyatt being born in 2001. It is however a slash story. I was thinking eventual Regulus/Harry (seeing as their both going to live until someone kills them, which is pretty hard to do). Maybe I'll put up my other Charmed/HP xover. It's similar to this one and has Wyatt/Harry in it. And for the Hermione/Harry fans out there…sorry, but Hermione is being paired with Draco in this story.
Q: Slightly mental Dumbledore.
A: Whether he ends up good, evil, or good but manipulative, he's going to be mental. How the hell can you not be mental when you suck on lemon drops all day?
Q: As Harry's dead, is the prophecy void?
A: Yep, no more prophecy. Harry however will still beat the crap out of Voldemort, seeing as his charges will eventually be targeted (Draco for being Lucius' son, Hermione for being a muggleborn).
Q: If Draco and Hermione are in two different houses then how's he going to watch over them both?
A: Orbing is such a wondrous thing. And then the way grim reapers travel…I guess you could call it Flaming…they disappear in black flames, kinda like the Whitelighters and Elders orb.
Q: Are you going to make Ron and Harry friends?
A: Harry will be hanging out with Draco (a Slytherin). Do you honestly believe Ron (a Gryffindor) would be able to be friends with a friend of a Slytherin?
Chapter 2
Ragnok looked up as one of the goblins led two people into his office. Then he got a good look at the two.
"Who's going to die?" he asked. Harry smiled.
"No one. I need to get to my vaults, but seeing as I'm kinda…dead…" Harry trailed off.
"You still walk this earth," Ragnok said, "And you are the last Potter. And still capable of producing children, so your vaults are still yours."
"Cool!" Harry said, smiling wider, "Thank you!" Regulus' eye twitched again.
"I'll have Griphook lead you two to the vaults," Ragnok said, summoning Griphook.
"Thanks again," Harry replied.

"So, where to first?" Harry asked.
"Getting a wand is always fun," Regulus commented, "I wonder if we could scare Olivander…heh, heh." Harry shook his head. Regulus was as much of a prankster as his brother. Harry frowned for a moment…he needed to figure out a way to get Sirius out of prison without doing anything. Damn Elders.
Flashback
"But he's innocent," Harry insisted, "Surely we can do something!"
"There is nothing we can do for him, child," one of the Elders said, "Nothing. And you are forbidden from doing anything about it, child. I'm sorry."
End Flashback
"Sorry, my ass," Harry muttered, as they entered the shop.
"Hello Mr. Potter, and…Regulus Black? But-you-wha?" Olivander asked, before passing out. Regulus grinned. Maybe coming to Diagon Alley wasn't so bad.

Regulus took his former statement back. Coming to Diagon Alley was a bad idea. He and Harry had managed to get Olivander to wake up, lied a little (saying Regulus was a vampire and they appreciated that not getting out), and then Olivander started searching for Harry's wand. They had been through every single wand in the store. And the only wand that had come close to being a match was a holly one with a phoenix feather in it. It gave off a few sparks and then promptly exploded in Harry's hand.
"Damn holly wands," Regulus cursed silently, pulling out another splinter, "Sirius had a holly wand too."
"Well, Mr. Potter," Olivander said, "It looks like we may have to make you a custom wand."
"Really?" Harry asked, excited.
"Yes, really," Olivander replied, "I must warn you though, custom wands are very expensive."
"That's alright."
"Very well then, we'll start with the woods," Olivander said, taking out a case and putting it on the table, "Put your hand over each and tell me which one feels 'right'." Harry did so, ending up with three woods: Ebony, Birch, and Yew.
"Ebony is very powerful, pure as well," Olivander said, "Contrary to that, Yew is the wood of death. And Birch, while usually for brooms, will bring you luck."
"Something he already has enough of," Regulus muttered, still pulling out splinters. Olivander smiled a little.
"Now," he said, putting the case away, "Follow me, this way. In this room, are several different types of cores. I usually use Dragon Heartstrings, Phoenix Feathers, and Unicorn Tail Hairs, because they are compatible with most wizards and witches. You, however, are going to need something different, I believe." Harry nodded. "Go on around the room, and, just like with the wood, see what feels 'right'."
Harry started to explore the several shelves within the room, and within ten minutes had gotten six core ingredients: a piece of metal Olivander couldn't identify (both Regulus and Harry recognized it as part of a Grim Reaper Scythe), a silverish-white piece of cloth Olivander couldn't identify (again, both Harry and Regulus recognized it: part of a Whitelighter's robes), a wispy piece of black cloth that Olivander identified as a piece of a Dementor's cloak, a vial of blood from a Chinese Fireball (Regulus absentmindedly noted that the Fireball is the type of dragon Harry somehow managed to set on Cole), a petal of the Desert Larkspur, and a silvery hair that Olivander identified as Veela hair.
"Quite a many core materials. I don't know what these two are, but the cloak of a Dementor means you are to be feared, while the hair of a Veela means you are to be loved. Interesting that. The blood of a Chinese Fireball, or any dragon really, indicates that you will be a stubborn one. And a petal of the Desert Larkspur indicates that you will have a varying temperament. My, my, what and interesting combination in a wand. Constant total opposites." Harry smiled and Olivander started to work on the wand.
In the end, Harry's wand was 13 and ½ inches. The handle was birch, while the Ebony and Yew were twisted together to make the rest of the wand. All of the other core materials had been soaked in the Fireball's blood before going into the wand. The wand was also soaked in the blood giving it a red tone.
"This is a very beautiful wand," Olivander said, "And it was a joy to make. I think we can expect many great things from you, Mr. Potter. Many great things."

Harry should get in: (Halfs are given to those who voted for two houses)
Hufflepuff 18 1/2
Ravenclaw 21 1/2
Gryffindor 4 1/2
Slytherin 19 1/2
Looks like Dumbles is going to be evil, but Good and manipulative has a chance to catch up. As for Harry's sorting, it could be either Ravenclaw or Slytherin, and if Hufflepuff has enough real fans out there willing to vote for them, he could be there too. It seems that almost everyone who voted for good Dumbles voted for Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. Poor Gryffs don't seem to have much of a chance though. Dumbles Voting will last until next chapter, and the sorting voting possibly through the next chapter and the one after that.
And poor, poor Cole. First the green feathers and scubus thing, and now we find out Harry even set a dragon on him! Read and review! Smiles!
