Pick any number. Times that number by two. Divide that number by the original number. Take two from that number. The answer is the exact percentage of Harry Potter and Final Fantasy I own.
Eventually Yuna and Harry managed to explain to Lulu exactly how Yuna found Harry and why she called him her son well enough that she wasn't at risk of demonstrating her ultima spell on them and while she wasn't exactly happy about it she accepted it and Harry grew on her after a while, in fact he became a bit like a nephew to her.
Wakka was much easier going about it with him just offering to help look after Harry if Yuna wanted any help. Yuna thought that this was just an excuse to teach Harry how to play blitzball.
When they finally saw Rikku she instantly proclaimed Harry to be the cutest thing she had ever seen and proceeded to dote on Harry at every opportunity.
When Kimahri met Harry he just berated Yuna for running away before saying. "What makes Yuna happy makes Kimahri happy." And didn't really have any other opinion on the matter. Although he was definitely taken aback when Harry proclaimed he did indeed look like a big teddy bear and gave him a hug.
Once Paine gained enough trust to be introduced to Harry she shrugged and asked if they could get back to sphere hunting. Needless to say the two of them did not become best friends.
When Tidus returned and met Harry he gave one of the bold declarations he was so known for and proclaimed that if Yuna was Harry's mother then he would be the father which damaged his relationship with Harry before it could start as Harry didn't want someone he didn't know acting like a father to him. Yuna however pulled Tidus aside and told him that he was being inappropriate causing Tidus to back up and try to get to know Harry as a person rather than as Yuna's son, after a slightly rocky start they ended getting on rather well with each other although he never became the father figure he said he would be.
As Yuna promised she began training Harry to defend himself with help from her friends in several styles so that he could pick which one to focus on but to her surprise he never chose one and instead relied on a mixture of magic, physical combat, a few tricks to weaken the enemy's or strengthen himself and to Yuna's disapproval some of Rikku's thieving techniques.
The training also brought to light something interesting. At one point Harry was hit by a curse and when Yuna dispelled it a scream came from the scar on his forehead and he collapsed. By the time Yuna dispatched the fiend and turned to tend to Harry he was already coming round and they could find no side effects other than Harry being able to cast more spells without tiring.
All in all Harry loved living in Spira with his new friends and family, even the fiends weren't too bad after he learnt to fight them. So he never really thought about the world he came from and he definitely never thought about the possibility of going back. At least not until a day five years after he arrived in Spira.
Albus Dumbledore had not had a good past five years. It had all started when one of the many trinkets in his office had notified him of the collapse of the wards around Privet Drive and had all gone downhill from there.
He had of course assumed that the reason for the wards falling was an attack on the house from a wizard powerful enough to destroy them but when he could find no evidence of such an attack he realised that something within the house must have changed and knocked on the door. When Petunia Dursley answered and saw who it was she began screeching about freakishness and how they didn't want his presence. It took him almost a hour to extract the fact that they hadn't seen Harry (or the freak as they called him) since yesterday and that they hoped he wouldn't come back.
The lack of regard that the family had for Harry disturbed him deeply, but at that time he was more worried about Harry's absence and that even his family had no idea where he was. A thought occurred to him, what if the reason for the wards collapse was Harry's death? Almost panicking Dumbledore cast a charm commonly used for monitoring babies which showed the targets condition.
The spell told him that Harry was happy but malnourished which disturbed him as much as the Dursleys reaction; he shouldn't register as malnourished after just a day without food. He began to wonder if placing Harry with his relatives was a bad idea before realising that it didn't matter at that moment - if Harry died the quality of his living conditions became irrelevant – and apparated.
Despite popular belief spells to locate things were very rare, nearly unknown and almost impossible to cast. The only one that could be used easily was the point-me spell which only showed north. Even with the considerable Hogwarts library it took Dumbledore a week to find a spell capable of tracking someone without some of their blood or hair or without resorting to dark magic and the only thing stopping him from falling into despair by that time was the repeated spells saying Harry was still alive and happy.
When Dumbledore finally found the spell it took yet another day to cast the long and complicated ritual the spell required. The spell showed that Harry was in Turkey and by the time Dumbledore received the permissions to try to find Harry the only thing showing he was ever there was the stories of the locals about a boy matching his description and a young woman who was accompanying him.
This pattern repeated several times until one day when once Dumbledore completed the ritual nothing appeared to tell him the location. Dumbledore panicked more at that moment than he had in almost a hundred years, he was panicking so much that he failed the monitoring spell twice before letting out a sigh of relief as he completed it successfully and received the same readings as he had been getting for the past month.
After being reassured that Harry was still alive Dumbledore assumed he must have cast the tracking spell improperly, it took two more tries before he accepted that the spell wasn't working anymore. He spent the next few years researching more and more powerful tracking spells to the exclusion of almost everything else. He gave up his position as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and left almost all of his duties at Hogwarts to his deputy. The one thing he did keep was his position as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot because he couldn't find anyone he trusted to take the position.
Over the following years he cast the spell telling him Harry's condition more times than he could count and eventually modified the trinket that showed the blood wards status to show how he was all the time. By the time Harry was due to receive his Hogwarts letter he had almost given up hope that he would ever find Harry, he wanted to be content with the fact that he was happy and incredibly difficult to find but he knew that while his own tracking spells had failed there were dark rituals with costs too horrific for him to even consider that were inordinately more powerful and could only be blocked by the blood wards he set up and the fidelius charm, while he would never use them he knew that those who would wish Harry harm would have no such objections.
His last chance for finding Harry was the only one of the tracking spells he knew before beginning his research. The one contained within the book that contained the location all of the magical humans born in Britain. The book was unopenable and could only be used once a year upon which point it wrote out a letter with a linked for every eleven year old contained within its pages using a spell created by the founders that was even capable of reaching its intended recipient under the aforementioned fidelius charm.
Dumbledore stood by the book watching as it filled in letter after letter with an agonisingly long wait as the book wrote out the letters before it reached Potter. The second Harry's letter was completed he snatched it up and ran to the owlery as fast as his old bones could manage leaving the rest of the letters to be dealt with by his deputy.
On the way out of the door he looked at the address and saw it was labelled
Mr H Potter
Middle Hut On The Right
Besaid Village
Besaid Island
Spira
The address was a place he had never heard of even in passing but no matter he reasoned the owls would be able to find Harry no matter how obscure the address was.
As he entered the owlery he scooped up the broom he had placed there in anticipation of this event before passing the letter to the most trusted of the Hogwarts owls. When the owl took off to deliver the letter Dumbledore flew out the window to follow it, clipping it as he did so. While normally the journey to the destination would have taken hours if not days Dumbledore was able to fly through the gap in the Owl-Time continuum meaning the journey took less than a hour before the owl flew down to land on a archway.
When Dumbledore landed next to the arch he noticed that the owl was looking around confused and concluded that the arch was doing something to throw off the birds magically enhanced navigation system and so threw several detection spells at it. The spells revealed that the arch was some form of transportation of immense power and so he walked forward and laid a hand on it hoping it worked by touch like a portkey.
When that failed he abandoned subtlety in the face of such complex and unknown sorcery he went back to a wizard's traditional fallback and began funneling his magic into it. This continued for several hours and he was growing tired with nothing to show for it when without warning a portal manifested, Dumbledore stepped backward looking at the portal with an elation that only faded when a young woman stepped from within the portal looking furious.
Hi everyone, here is an update for The summoner and the wizard as you probably guessed by now.
This is of course dedicated to Shangirl who is currently being held hostage by evil cultists.
So this is chapter 2. I cover quite a bit of ground in this chapter which probably didn't make it that much fun to read but I didn't really want to spend several chapter describing Harry casting low level spells at low level fiends.
This Dumbledore is actually good which is a rarity these days.
Yes despite my entreaties Harry decided to tell Kimahri I called him a teddybear. If updates slow down (which would be saying something considering how slow it usually is) it is because Kimahri has caught me and is proceeding to beat me into a pulp.
It kind of bugs me how in fanfic authors will often say that a character uses a tracking spell and instantly finds the target. In this story tracking magic is incredibly rare and difficult so almost nobody can use it. Dumbledore spent 5 years researching them and probably only found around ten usable spells.
While I like Tidus (I'm one of the five people who do) I do imagine him making a bold deceleration and promptly ruining things with Harry. He has his heart in the right place but he hasn't mastered tact.
I can just imagine Rikku seeing Harry and going "Squee!".
