Albus Potter And The Ringed-Wizard
Disclaimer:
Harry Potter is owned by J. K Rowling and Warner Bros.
Hello, and welcome to my first-ever Harry Potter fanfic. Been a fan ever since the first film, The Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone was released in theaters since 2001, and throughout the years I got to know about the series via the succeeding films, unaware about the fact that the series originated from the books from England.
Having seen all the films that culminated in The Deathly Hallows part 2, I felt that this was the end till I happened to visit a relative who has all the books and I started reading them, where I discovered that some parts of the novels were not included in the films.
When I heard about a new Harry Potter project is being made, it made me curious about what it is until I found out that it was a theatre play that serves as a sequel to the Harry Potter series, which took place nearly a decade after Deathly Hallows. That revived my interest in the series as it featured a new generation of Potter characters, which is somewhat similar to the manga series, Boruto.
Thanks to Wikipedia, I was able to read the synopsis of the play, which the title is revealed to be Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, and though controversial in some aspects, the play was well-received, yet I was unable to come up with an inspiration to make a fanfic version. That is, until a certain show from Japan came across my sight, which has similar theme that involves magic. This series was aired way back in 2012.
More on that later, as I will eventually reveal what this other series is..
Given that both series borders on magic, it gave me an idea on how to explored the two series with similar themes, and after several months I was able to come up with an opening chapter, so this is it. Although this fic is set after the Cursed Child, I will include portions of it so as to give it a narrative opening before going to the present time.
Of course, Albus will be the main character here with Scorpius being the secondary one, but along the way I may introduce some OC that may play a role here which would depend on the upcoming chapters and whether readers would be interested and the number of reviews it would garner.
In short, the first chapters will be set during the school year of Hogwarts but along the way it will take place after the ending of the theatre play and an original plot would take place. A magic from the Wizarding World is set to meet a Muggle equipped with some magic rings and a BELT. It's like east meets west, and this would certainly may cause some kind of encounter between wizards of differing backgrounds and where their magic potentials came from.
Lastly, the characters of the Harry Potter universe depicted here is directly based from the film series, since that is how I got familiar with, thus Albus and Scorpius' appearances will be based directly from their first appearance from the epilogue scene of the film, Deathly Hallows part 2 (portrayed by Arthur Bowen and Bertie Gilbert respectively).
Rose Weasley, on the other hand, will be based on her film appearance (portrayed by Helena Barlow).Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Yoha, Mahōtsukai no Purorōgu
The Wizarding World. 1997.
A world where wizards and witches live, and some work. A world where magic exists, and that world is kept secret from the real world, which is known to the Wizarding World as the MUGGLE world.
The scene shifts at a castle where a huge battle is taking place. The scene of the battle turns out to be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the combatants involved are two groups, one are the Death Eaters, wizards using Dark Arts with the sole intention of terrorizing their victims as well as to purge the Wizarding World of Muggle-born wizards. Their actions border on bigotry as well as domination of both world.
The other group consists of teachers and students of Hogwarts, who are mostly pure-blooded, but do not share the mindset of the Death Eaters, for they are kind-hearted and welcomed in open arms half-blooded and the Muggle-born.
Leading the Death Eaters is a figure, who looked human yet he is dressed in robes, bald, white-skinned, and his face had a rather serpentine-like appearance. He is identified as Voldermort, and he had just proclaimed that he has defeated the very threat to his rule as he pointed towards a half-giant, Rubeus Hagrid, who is carrying what appeared to be a dead teenage boy, and the Hogwarts staff and students appeared to be horrified at what they are seeing.
The seemingly dead boy is identified as Harry Potter, and he was still as if he is a corpse. There Voldermort proclaimed that no one can stop him now that Potter is dead, and there is no one who can stop his ambitions, as the Hogwarts students and staff members were in a state of disbelief at seeing Harry seemingly dead in front of them.
"Ha-ha-ha! Behold! The Boy Who Lives has died at my hands!"
"Oh no..."
"It can't be...!"
"Harry...HARRY!"
"Now then...you will acknowledge me...as your master...and savior!"
"Never!"
"We won't bow to you!"
"We'll fight you till the end!"
However, the Hogwarts staff and students were not deterred and they proclaimed that they will carry out Harry Potter's will and fight to the end, and at that moment Harry, who actually survived Voldermort's killing curse, due to the fact that what Voldermort did was destroying one of the remaining horcruxes within the teenage boy which the dark lord is unaware of, and what Voldermort did not know is that Narcisa Malfoy lied about Harry being dead because she acted out of reluctant gratitude after Harry secretly told her that her son, Draco, is alive and well. By then Harry joined the Hogwarts staff and students to fight back, sparking a renewed battle.
This caused nearly 80% of the Death Eaters to get demoralized and fled, leaving a very few Death Eaters, Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldermort behind. In the melee Harry told Kingsley Shacklebolt the final key in defeating Voldermort: destroy Voldermort's pet snake, Nagini.
"Mr. Shacklebolt...!"
"What is it?"
"Tell the others!"
"About what?"
"We have to kill the snake...once that is done, Voldermort will lose power and can be defeated for good!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Very well...leave it to us...you deal with Voldermort!"
Shacklebolt nodded and used magical telepathy to pass the information to the Hogwarts staff and students, and the final battle is underway. In the ensuing battle teachers Minerva McGonnagal and Horace Slughorn, along with Shacklebolt himself worked together to try holding down Voldermort in an effort to give Harry time to find Nagini and slay her, but the dark lord was too strong, and he told Slughorn how disappointed he is at how the current Slytherin head chose to side with the BLOOD TRAITORS, but Slughorn said that he rather be one than serve a megalomaniac like Voldermort.
"Slughorn...I am disappointed in you..."
"..."
"You were such a good teacher...but yet chose to mingle with mudbloods!"
"That is fine with me!"
"What?"
"I rather be a traitor than become a murderer like you! And I regretted having you as my student in my house! You gave Slytherin a bad name...and I will do all I can to erase that stigma!"
"You senile fool!"
''You're the fool, Voldermort!"
Eventually Voldermort forced the trio back, but Harry showed up and challenged Voldermort to a personal duel and goaded him to take their fight elsewhere, which Voldermort accepted, and they began to take their fight somewhere within the castle. As Harry and Voldermort dueled, many Death Eaters fought against their opponents, but they slowly fell one by one.
This leaves Bellatrix as the only Death Eater left, and despite this, her very unstable mind kept her going and fought against three female students: Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley. The three girls used their strongest spells but were unable to get past her defenses and were forced back, and Bellatrix uses a killing curse that narrowly missed Ginny, drawing the ire of Ginny's mother, Molly Weasley, which Bellatrix is unhinged and goaded her to try her luck.
"Ha-ha-ha! Almost got the Weasley girl...! Let's try that again! Avada..."
"Not my daughter, you bitch!"
"Oooh...mama Weasley wants to play...!"
"Come face me instead, you bitch!"
"Then let's play, you hag of a witch!"
"Take this!"
"Ha-ha-ha! You missed!"
"How about this?"
Molly and Bellatrix fought, and the battle appeared even, but Molly was unperturbed and not discouraged as she ignored the taunting and found an opening, where she finally fired a defensive spell which immobilized Bellatrix before being struck by another spell that ended her life, and Molly Weasley won, and the Death Eaters have finally been vanquished.
Elsewhere, Hermione and Ron Weasley are having trouble taking down Nagini, as the snake is protected with magical defensive spells, and is lurking on its way to kill and eat the two Gryfindor students, and Ron uses his body to protect Hermione as Nagini is moments away from landing a fatal bite. However, another Gryfindor student, Neville Longbottom, showed up, holding Godric Gryfindor's sword and uses it to decapitate Nagini, killing her, and thus destroying all horcruxes, leaving Voldermort mortal and can be killed.
The scene shifts outside the castle where Voldermort and Harry are facing off, and the dark lord is in a state of disbelief upon realizing what happened to himself and Nagini, and stared at the Elder Wand and questioned why it did not obey him completely.
Harry then revealed that it was Draco who disarmed Albus Dumbledore, making Draco the new owner, but Harry then disarmed Draco at Malfoy Manor several days ago, thus the elder wand recognizes Harry as the new owner, which Voldermort screeched in denial.
"What? It cannot be!"
"It is, Voldermort! And the Elder Wand will never acknowledge you!"
"Never!"
"It's over, Voldermort!"
"I will kill you, boy!"
"..."
"I will not be defeated by a mere boy!"
"You wish!"
Unwilling to accept defeat, as well as in a state of denial, Voldermort, still holding the elder wand, chants the killing curse aimed at Harry, but the spell instead rebounded and the killing curse ended up going towards the dark lord, which eventually killed him, thus Harry Potter won and Voldermort's reign of terror has finally ended for good.
The Hogwarts staff and students were relieved to see this, and all celebrated, while Harry and his two friends went to a secluded area within the school to reflect on what happened, and at the same time wondered what to do with the Elder Wand, until Harry snapped it in two, rendering it useless, which Ron and Hermione came to realize that this is for the best.

In the weeks that passed, the Wizarding World began to recover, and the first step that occurred was the reorganizing the Ministry of Magic, where it was voted the Shacklebolt would become the temporary minister while putting up measures to ensure that it would be corruption-free, while at the same time had its corrupt members arrested, including Dolores Umbridge.
Meanwhile, through Harry's recommendation, the Malfoy family were given a chance to redeem themselves after Narcisa saved Harry from Voldermort, as well as the fact that Draco's actions were due to Voldermort threatening to kill his parents if he disobey him, the Ministry offered the Malfoy family a one-way ticket to avoid prison by giving out information on the whereabouts of the remaining Death Eaters who are currently at large.
Left with no choice, Lucius told the Ministry all he knows, and in the ensuing days and weeks, majority of the Death Eaters were apprehended, and thanks to Lucius' testimonies, he and his family avoided going to Azkaban and are free.
After several months Hogwarts is back in running its curriculum, and the students who are currently in their 7th year resumed their schooling, and eventually graduated. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco waited for a few months before resuming their schooling, and eventually finished and graduated. The experience they had caused an effect on their lives, with Draco beginning to drop his prejudice towards Muggle-born, and made the first step to make amends and peace Harry.
Harry rekindled his romance with Ginny, and while Ron disapproved it at first, but eventually relented when Hermione assured to him that his only sister is in good hands with Harry, which Ron reluctantly came to accept it.
"Come on, Ron..."
"..."
"Ginny is already old enough."
"Well..."
"And she is in good hands. It's Harry Potter we are talking about."
"Guess you're right."
"We should move on...after all, your sister and Harry deserved to be happy...just like us."
"Fine, then."
Meanwhile, life goes on within the Wizarding World and those who played a part in Voldermort's downfall. Fred Weasley was buried, and George went on to make a successful business. Hermione went on to work for the Ministry of Magic and made notable contributions. The now-fired corrupt members of the ministry were tried and sentenced, with Umbridge getting a severe one due to her actions at Hogwarts and during Voldermort's previous reign, wherein she has little to no chance of a parole.
Ron and Hermione continued dating, and so are Harry and Ginny. Their relationships went strong ad the years passed by. Draco has also moved on and seemingly cut off ties with his former Slytherin classmates, most notably Pansy Parkinson, as she has never been heard off following the battle of Hogwarts, and yet he has found a new love in the form of Astoria Greengrass.
The two appeared to have something in common, as they both experience the hardships of their lives when Voldermort temporarily ruled the Wizarding World the second time, and the two eventually came to shed off their prejudice against Muggle-borns, willing to mingle with them, much to the Malfoy parents' disappointments.
-x-
Several years later, life for the graduated students of Hogwarts has gotten better, and the trio of best friends' lives improved immensely. Hermione Granger's hard work and perseverance paid off as she landed a job at the Ministry of Magic, where she worked her way up diligently, and over time she legally became Kingsley Shacklebolt's successor, becoming the new Minister of Magic, where she made efforts to have all everyone, be it pure-blooded, half-blooded and Muggle-born, get equal rights. Even the elves were also given rights.
Hermione also continued what Shacklebolt started, making sure that the ministry is corruption-free. Moreover, after years of dating, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley got married, and after some time, in 2004, their first child is born, whom they named James Sirius, which is in honor of Harry's father and Sirius Black, Harry's godfather.
It was also at this time that Ron married Hermione, and she became part of the Weasley family. Ron is now leading a business while Harry got a job and the magical department within the Ministry. Their lives were a happy one, and in 2006, Harry and Ginny's second child is born, where, at Harry's suggestion which Ginny accepted, their second-born, a boy, would be named Albus Severus.
This is in honor of two Hogwarts headmasters, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. Coincidentally, Hermione also gave birth to her first child, which was a girl, and she named her Rose, which Ron said it is perfect, as he saw his daughter's hair being light-red.
"Rose, huh?"
"You like it, Ron?"
"Of course. She's beautiful...and look, her hair is red."
"Runs in the Weasley family, huh?"
"Of course."
"Then it's settled. Rose will be her name."
"You bet, my love."
"Thank you, my love."
Also, Draco and Astoria also celebrated in the arrival of their first-born, a boy whom they named Scorpius.
After several months, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione meet up, where they discussed about their children's future knowing that they would eventually start schooling at Hogwarts in a decade's time. Ron feels assured that their first child and future ones would be sorted into Gryffindor, since he, Hermione, Ginny and Harry went to Gryffindor during their school days.
Harry, on the other hand, said he does not care which house his children would be sorted, as he will see to it that they will be raised well and become responsible children, which Ron asked if he is sure, commenting that there might be a possibility that James and Albus might end up in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, and is sure that they won't end up in Slytherin, yet Harry said he would not mind if either of his kids end up at Slythetin.
When Ron asked why, Harry stated that there were GOOD ONES in that house, bringing up the names of Severus Snape, as all along he is loyal to Dumbledore and underwent a great deal of sacrifice in acting as a spy to infiltrate Voldermort's forces, and Horace Slughorn, for not having any prejudice towards Muggles, as shown when he stood up against Voldermort and rallying several Slytherin students to help in fighting off the Death Eaters.
"...and that is why I no longer hold any animosity towards Slytherin, Ron."
"..."
"Before, Slytherin had a bad reputation, but all of that somewhat changed after meetig with Slughorn."
"Maybe, Harry...but you know that up til now..."
"I know, but I'm sure that one day Slytherin students would change for the better."
"..."
"So whether James and/or Albus gets sorted into Slytherin, I will remain proud of them."
"..."
Ron went silent seeing that Harry has a point, but then a thought hit him as he mentioned that he heard that the Malfoys WENT UNDERGROUND, and that Draco's child is born, and there he glanced at Rose, where the infant is facing her dad, which he jokingly told her not to get too friendly with Draco's child or else she is going to be disinherited.
However, this drew Hermione's ire and twists her husband's ear and berated him for that, saying that she heard that Draco has TURNED A NEW LEAF and is no longer a bully-type, and she told Ron not to teach their daughter into becoming snobbish to anyone, stating that if Draco and his child wants to be friends, then it is not a problem.
Ron moaned in pain as she twists his ear and said he will comply as long as she stop pulling his ear.
"Ow-ow-ow! Blimey, let go of my ear!"
"Not until you promise that you stop making comments like that to our child!"
"Okay, okay! I promise!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Seriously?"
"I swear! I mean it! Just let go of my ear, Hermione!"
"Good."
Two more years have passed, which is 2008, and the Potter family welcomed their third child, which was a girl whom she is named Lily Luna, honored after Harry's mother and their Hogwarts friend, Luna Lovegood. At the same time, the Weasley family got a second child, a boy who is named Hugo, and the two families are pleased with the blessings they received.
-x-
A few years later, it was the year 2012, and life at the Wizarding World and the Muggle world is experiencing peace and prosperity, especially all over Europe.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts somewhere else across the globe, going from continent to continent until it reached…
Japan.
A country located within the Southeast Asia, which is near neighboring countries such as the Philippines and the past it was known for its controversial part in World War II, which led the United States of America to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima which caused damage, but also led Japan to surrender, bringing the war to an end.
Since then, Japan and its citizens changed for the better, and along the way became friendlier to other neighboring Asian countries and prospered well in the years to come, slowly becoming one of the fast-growing economic partners to other countries.
As the years passed, many emperors come and go, yet they were able to keep Japan floating economically and its citizens prospered and lived peacefully, thus they slowly moved on after what happened at Hiroshima after World War II ended.
-x-
In the years (or decades) that passed, Japan remained as the economic, trading, and friendliest country within the whole of Asia, and their technologies improved, which led to a lot of scientific breakthroughs which improved the lives of its citizens and increasing the happy lives of everyone, local residents and foreigners living here.
Meanwhile, The scene then zoomed further and you can see that the scene shows that the place being shown is Tokyo, which is bustling with people who are walking the busy streets, some riding vehicles, and others riding on bicycles. There are several types of people seen on the streets; adults, children, and even infants being carried by their parents. Businessmen, businesswomen, students, policemen, all kinds of persons are seen, and they were doing their usual activities as if they do not mind it.
Shops are open and the merchants are selling their merchandise and are enticing people to buy them in hopes of earning money. It was a typical day and it seems that people today are lively and felt that their lives are full of blessings and couldn't ask for anything more, as some are happy with stable jobs, students studying in the best schools, and more, and some even chatted with one another feeling that today is a good day.
"Hey there..."
"Today's a good day..."
"Ah...life is so good..."
"Let's have lunch...?"
"Will you be my girlfriend...?"
"Let's get married..."
"Stop right there!"
"EEEP! COPS!"
-x-
The scene later shifts to a certain area, where business is thriving the area is frequently being besieged by customers which are a mix of adults and teenagers, and they appeared to be avid collectors, as they are looking and buying second-hand items which are technological in nature, and their reasons for patronizing the said shops are purely economical in nature - cheaper prices and practicality. You can see several shops selling HOT items for cheaper prices, such as smartphones, android tablets and even laptops, and despite being second-hand items, they appeared to be in good working conditions, and some of the customers are willing to buy them as long as their desired items are working fine as well as to save money for budgetary reasons, and the merchants are using subtle means in enticing passing customers.
"Hello...please by our items..."
"They are cheaper..."
"...they are in good working condition..."
"You can try them if you like..."
"I promise you will like them..."
"I promise you will get your money's worth..."
"Here are the items on our display..."
"Pick the one you like..."
The area in question turns out to be Akihabara, and the area is thriving and many merchants set up shops to attract passing customers and entice them to buy their products by showing the items and offered cheaper prices while assuring them that the items are in good working condition, and their marketing strategy worked as some passing customers were intrigued after hearing that so e gadgets are being sold in cheaper prices, and they began asking the merchants what items do they sell, and the merchants showed to the customers the items they are selling, ranging from smartphones to android tablets and even laptops.
Then the scene shifts to another nearby shop, where a merchant is also selling second-hand items, but unlike the other shops, this merchant is selling something else and is catering avid collectors, and the scene shifts inside the shop where you can see the items being sold, which turn out to be classic console units and games, all being displayed on the shelves, and one by one you can see the following consoles being on display, which are:
- Nintendo Famicom
- Super Famicom
- Sega Genesis
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance
- Neo Geo
- Sony Playstation
- Sega Saturn
- Nintendo 64
In a matter of minutes customers passed by the shop, and most of them are avid collectors and fans of video games, and they were immediately intrigued by the items on display and they looked at the items, as some appeared to be unaware that such classical consoles actually existed, and they began asking the merchants if those consoles and its games are really something to be owned, which the merchant nodded and assured to them that the classic games are RARE, and are fun to play with, saying that even with popular games today that are released on current consoles such as the Sony Playstation 4, the Microsoft X-Box One and the Nintendo Wii, the consoles on display are even COOLER due to its nostalgia factor.
"Are they really cool compared to today's consoles?"
"Yes...they are cool..."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, sir...they are the very first games...and they are the popular ones in its heydays...and they are RARE to find..."
"Hmm..."
"Would you like to try them...?"
"..."
"I promise you will not regret it..."
The scene shifts again, somewhere within the suburbs of Tokyo, where you can see a neighborhood, where ordinary citizens are doing their usual things, walking, talking, cleaning their houses and cars, doing chores and the such. However, while most of the citizens are busy with their daily lives, they did not notice that something is taking place, as the scene showed that what appeared to be a solar eclipse is occurring, yet no one seemed to bother noticing it.
-x-
The scene shifts at an unspecified area off the coast of Tokyo, where several people of all ages are stranded, and trapped, as their bodies glowed and many are screaming in pain, which they were begging for help until one by one, their bodies EXPLODED, flesh disintegrated and the area they are standing on was covered in BLOOD.
As more and more of the victims fell victim, the numbers dwindled until a young man, who appeared to be 20 years old, is kneeling as he is bleeding, his body glowed in some kind of energy as you can see that a PAIR OF WINGS are emerging from his back, his skin is being PEELED OFF, and he is on the verge of being RIPPED APART.
However, he appeared to have a strong will and looked up in the sky, and raised his hand as if he is trying to reach something, and he slowly stood up, fighting the pain and screamed in fury and determination, showing that he has some kind of incredible strength from within.
"I...I won't...give in...! I won't...give up!"
A sudden burst of light appeared, and the young man's body glowed again, but this time nothing happened, as he remained intact, his wounds somewhat healed yet bloodstains remain on his clothing. The young man looked around and saw the remains of the victims, which were only bloodstains before something emerged, which humanoid-like entities appeared and went to different directions.
One remained and saw the young man, and approached him, intending to harm him until a magical barrier appeared and swats the attacking entity away. The young man turn around where he saw another figure, garbed in whitish armor and robes, and is carrying a young girl who appeared unconscious, in which he approached the young man and gave the girl to him.
There the mysterious figure in white armor and robe gave an unseen object to the young man and said that he is the CHOSEN ONE who will fight to protect others.
"Well done."
"Huh?"
"In spite of what you went through, you held on and survive."
"I..."
"A very admirable feat. For that, you now have the potential to become a wizard."
"Me...a wizard...?"
"Here…take these...you will need it...now that you have the potential to become a wizard."
"Is this...for real...?"
The young man stared in confusion on what is going on, but he would later find out why he survived and what the purpose of being given such a mission.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and while the first portion of the chapter took place during the climatic battle scenes in Deahtly Hallows part 2, the aftermath of it makes up for it as well as the details of what went on after the original Potter characters graduated from Hogwarts and what they did afterwards.
While the Potter and Weasley children are born, the timeline is still that of a few years before they start attending Hogwarts itself, so my apologies, as the story is still underway.
Lastly, another character appeared somewhere outside Europe, where he acquired his magical abilities in a different manner. Though this is more of a prologue, but the next chapters will reveal the rest…
Preview:
The Muggle wizard in question will be revealed, and what role will he play, while Harry and Ginny's children will start their schooling at Hogwarts, where events of The Cursed Child would come in…
See you in March…
