Okay…in spite of the lockdown imposed on my country due to the corona virus, I managed to finish this chapter ahead of the DEADLINE that I set…this is supposed to be up by next month, but decided to upload it now (along with the other fanfics I managed to finish) in anticipation that I might have difficulties in uploading future chapters in case the lockdown in my country extends, so for now enjoy this finished, if rushed, chapter…
Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the Harry Potter characters are faced with a dilemma that a Muggle accidentally witnessed a situation that only the Ministry of magic members are supposed to face, and what do they make of this unknown wizard who possess a different kind of magic.…
This chapter will answer the questions, and what implication would arise…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
As the smoke cleared, you can see Fenrir down on the ground, unconscious, seriously injured as he suffered from third-degree burns on 85 % of his body, and the Death Eaters, who are still bound in chains, stared in disbelief at seeing that even the feared werewolf, Fenrir, is defeated by what they deemed to be a lowly Muggle, and expressed disbelief that this cannot be happening.
As Harry doubled-checked the restrained Death Eaters, he then checked the charred remains of the werewolves, seeing that they are already dead due to the severe burns and that they are no longer deemed a threat, and told Draco that the werewolves have been dealt with, and upon checking Fenrir, Harry said to Draco that Fenrir won't be a threat now that he is too gravely injured to make a move or attempt to bite someone.
"Fenrir's too injured to pose a threat to anyone."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"That's good to hear."
"Looks like our sons are safe and unharmed."
"Yes, that's all we need to know. Are the others…"
"They're on their way."
"Good."
As Draco nodded, he and Harry can hear the defeated Death Eaters verbally expressing exasperation that a mere LOWLY MUDBLOOD was able to defeat a powerful and dangerous werewolf and burned the rest to death, and cannot accept defeat like that, and they were so flabbergasted at the fact that Haruto defeated the werewolves with such ease, as they believe that Pureblood are more powerful than the MUDBLOOD.
"No…"
"Fenrir's been defeated…"
"How…?"
"This can't be!"
"Taken down by a Mudblood?"
"Impossible!"
"Preposterous!"
"We cannot accept this!"
Draco saw it all and is astonished at what just happened, as he wondered what kind of magic did Haruto used and defeated even a dangerous werewolf, as this was the first time seeing a magic being used without a wand, and he stared at the armored wizard for a while before glancing at the captive Death Eaters, and felt that there is more to this than meets the eye.
"This Muggle…is he really a wizard? What does he use if he doesn't possess a wand…?"
But then Scorpius came and hugged his dad, and the Malfoys hugged one another and assured to each other that they are okay, which Draco glanced at his son, seeing that he is not visibly hurt yet he had to make sure that his son is not inujured at the hands of Fenrir, and there he asked if Scorpius was bitten or not.
"Scorpius…"
"Dad…"
"Were you bitten?"
"No, dad."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm fine."
"That's good to hear."
"Dad…"
Harry and Albus approached the Malfoys, then glanced at the armored wizard, seeing his armored appearance, and there Haruto deactivated his magic and reverted back to normal, which both Harry and Draco are surprised to see that the person is of Asian descent, and there Harry asked if Haruto came to the two boys' rescue, and there Haruto told them the circumstances, which Harry nodded, getting the gist of the situation.
Draco approached Haruto and glanced at the Muggle from head to toe, and noted that the Muggle isn't carrying a wand, but saw the Wizardriver and the rings he is wearing, and he whispered to Harry, saying that they should at least take Haruto with them and interrogate him to ensure that the Muggle is not a dark wizard or anything, reasoning that if others were to witness Haruto possessing such magic that is different for the ones within the Wizarding World, he might become a target of some Ministry officials who still cling to the habits of old times.
Harry whispered back, agreeing with what Draco suggested, and there he asked Haruto if he is a Muggle or not, and not understanding the concept of Muggle Blood and Pureblood, Haruto innocently answered some of Harry's questions.
"Excuse me, sir."
"Yes."
"Did you really defeated these werewolves and those…druid-like persons?"
"Yes. I did."
"And you use magic?"
"Yes."
"Are you a Muggle?"
"No…I'm a wizard."
Harry and Draco stared in surprise at Haruto's answer, and the way that Haruto responded with an innocent ENGRISH tone, Albus and Scorpius giggled at what they heard, which Draco stared at the boys with confusion, wondering what is so funny about.
Haruto saw this and asked if he answered wrong, saying he answered the question correctly. Harry stared at Haruto, seeing that the Muggle does not seem to be a threat, and he turn around, raised his wand upward and uses a spell to alert the Ministry officials on their current location, and there Harry told Haruto that while he and Draco are grateful for saving Albus and Scorpius, he told him that he has to be taken into custody to answer a few questions.
Haruto asked if he is under arrest, but Harry assured that he is not, as he only wanted to ask something, like how he is able to perform magic without using a wand, and what are the items he is carrying and what kind of magic he possesses.
Draco nodded saying that this is for security purposes, as he told Haruto that he may have breached the security of the Wizarding World, and said that if security forces in this world were to see Haruto perform those QUESTIONALABLE MAGICAL FEATS, officials here might mistake him for a Death Eater and might end up deeming him a dangerous felon and would be attacked out of self-defense, which made Hauto perplexed, as he is unaware of what Draco just said.
"Huh? Seriously?"
"What was that?"
"Is using magic prohibited?"
"In a manner of speaking…yes."
"How so? I used magic to fight creatures that threatened the pubic, and so far no one has made a big deal out of it."
"it seems that you are unaware of the laws. Very well. You'll have to come with us."
"Why? Did I…?"
"Calm down, sir."
Harry then said that to avoid this situation, he suggested to Haruto to come with him and Draco so that they will provide escort and promised Haruto he would get fair treatment if he agrees to come with them, reasoning that this out for his own protection.
After a minute of thinking, Haruto finally agreed, seeing that this may be the only way to clear up the misunderstanding, and there Scorpius asked his father if Haruto is being arrested, which the elder Malfoy said that Haruto is merely invited to come with him and Harry, saying that all he has to do is answer some questions and once Haruto is proven to be innocent, he would be released.

Ch. 5: Fukaina tairitsu
A minute later, as Harry and Draco checked on the restrained Death Eaters, Albus and Scorpius glanced at Haruto, seeing the Muggle looking around his surroundings, as the ring-bearing wizard appeared perplexed as this was the first time he came to such a place, and there they saw the Wizardriver and rings that he is wearing.
Albus is tempted to ask Haruto about this, but Scorpius suggested that he wait until they are sure that Haruto can be trusted. Though Albus said that Haruto saved him and Scorpius, the young Malfoy said that they cannot be sure yet as there might be a possibility that he might not be who he appeared to be, and suggested that they let their fathers and the Ministry know about the Muggle first.
"Easy. Let our fathers and the Ministry deal with him."
"But…he saved our lives."
"True, but we don't know him yet."
"But…"
"Let Mr. Potter deal with him. Once he is shown to be trusted, then we can open up to him."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"…"
Suddenly, four Ministry officials came, and despite the fact that the Ministry Of Magic has reorganized the ranks of its officials, there are some who are overzealous, and immediately branded Haruto a threat seeing that he is a complete stranger and assumed him to be one of the Death Eaters, and they aimed their wands at him, telling him to surrender, but also chanted spells at the same time.
"Stop right there!"
"You are deemed a threat and must be restrained!"
"Surrender now!"
"Or be confined!"
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
Haruto saw it and instinctively placed his right hand in front of the Wizardriver, where he activated his defensive spell, which surprised the four Ministry officials at what they just saw, as this was the first time seeing a different kind of magic that doesn't exist in the Wizarding World.
Wizardriver: "DEFEND! PLEASE…"
A magical circle appeared and deflected the four spells that the Ministry fired, and there Harry shouted at the four officials, telling them to stop as he told them that the Death Eaters have already been defeated and that Haruto is not an enemy, though the officials seemingly ignored him as they are too focused on breaking through the defensive magical circle that Haruto made.
Seeing that the officials are acting like foolish men, Draco took out his wand and fired a warning shot, causing the Ministry officials to stop, and there Harry confronted them, telling them that what they did is foolish, saying that they nearly harmed an innocent man, and pointed to the other direction the restrained Death Eaters, the dead werewolves and the currently-unconscious Fenrir Greyback are at.
Harry then told them that Haruto is the one who saved Albus and Scorpius and that he is the one who defeated the Death Eaters, though the officials insists that Haruto must be restrained, detained and investigated for using what they deemed as an illegal use of magic, which Harry rebuked them for using that kind of excuse, yet the officials reiterated that Haruto be taken into custody seeing that he may be an illegal wizard.
"Even though you say that…"
"He is deemed a security threat."
"He must be taken into custody."
"There are no exceptions!"
"So please do not interfere."
"This is now under the Ministry jurisdiction."
"Let us perform our jobs."
"I hope that is clear to you, Mr. Potter."
At this point, the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger-Weasley, arrived, having witnessed what just happened, and asked Harry what transpired here, and there Albus told his aunt what happened, and how Haruto saved him and Scorpius, along with how Haruto defeated the Death Eaters and the werewolves before the Ministry officials recklessly fired their wand spells at the Muggle.
Hermione stared at the officials and asked point-blank of they fired their wands at an unarmed person, which the officials reluctantly nodded, and there she reprimanded them for their actions, stating that unless the target is armed or using magic at the officials first, then they can retaliate, but after glancing at Haruto, seeing that he did not possess a wand, Hermione asked the four officials what will they do now that it is proven that Haruto did not have a wand.
However, the officials said that Harutop possess a different kind of magic that they deemed to be illegal, and petitioned that he be restrained and detained, saying he might be a threat to the Wizarding World, and urges her to take appropriate action at once.
"He must be an illegal wizard!"
"Perhaps someone who is affiliated with a dark group besides the Death Eaters!"
"Even if he does not possess a wand, he uses a different kind of magic."
"We believe he uses dark arts…we are sure!"
"We petitioned that this person be restrained!"
"Please, Minister!"
"For the security of our world!"
"We implore you!"
Hermione glared at them and told the officials that she will handle it her way and told the officials to round up the Death Eaters, which they reluctantly did, and there Hemrione went to Haruto, glancing him from head to toe, and saw the Wizardriver he is wearing, and there she began asking him for information, like his name, place of birth and how did he came here and if it is true that he defeated the Death Eaters and Fenrir.
Haruto nodded and answered honestly, and even showed her how his magic works, and Hermione stared in surprise at seeing the manner of how Haruto used magic, and she asked him when did he gain his magical ability as well as coming into the possession of the Wizardriver. Hermione, Harry and Draco stared in surprise when told that Haruto gained his magic abilities way back in 2012, in a form of a ritual, where he told them about how he and several other Japanese people were abducted, forced into a ritual that spawned the Phantoms, as well as Haruto himself being the sole survivor.
The four ministry officials overheard it, and misinterpreted it which they believe him to be a dark creature, and they drew their wands, aimed at Haruto, which Hermione ordered the officials to stand down, saying that Haruto is not a threat, but it was too late as the four officials foolishly chanted their spells and opened fire.
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
"Stupify!"
Haruto instinctively pushed Hermione out of the way, saving her, but this also leaves him open, and was struck by the spells and was thrown back, hitting hard on the ground and fell unconscious. As Harry and Draco checked on Haruto, Hermione angrily drew her wand and disarmed the officials, and told them that they are to be on restricted custody and will decide on their appropriate punishment, which the officials protested, saying that Haruto is a threat, but Hermione rebuked them and uses a silencing spell to shut them up.
Soon more Ministry officials came and there they rounded up the captured Death Eaters while Harry and Draco carries an unconscious Haruto and is to be taken to St. Mungo Hospital to treat him for the injuries he sustained from the Stupify spells that were quite too much on one person.
-x-
Hours later, Haruto woke up, but felt that his ribs were throbbing in pain after being hit by several strong spells, and there Harry, who is watching over him, greeted him, and told him what happened, apologizing for what the Ministry officials did, and Haruto asked if people here are like that, which Harry said that there are some who are still clinging to old times, but assured to him that racism no longer exists here, and that Haruto will be given a fair chance to defend himself and assured that he won't be punished for saving a pair of young boys and defeating the Death Eaters.
Haruto asked what kind of place is this and there Harry told Haruto about the Wizarding World, how it came to be, as well as its residents, the way of life there and about schools that teach selected pupils with magical abilities on how to use magic responsibly.
As Haruto listened attentively, he is a bit confused as to why the officials had to deem him a threat if he did not have a wand, and there Harry said that the officials who irresponsibly attacked him mistook him for a dark creature when they heard that Haruto has a Phantom inside him. As Haruto nodded, Harry said that in a few days from now, he would be attending the Wizengamot, a special court where they would interrogate suspects.
There Harry said that Hermione tried to assure the Ministry officials that Haruto is not a threat, but they wanted to know how Haruto gained magic abilities even though he is overage, and being able to perform one despite not having a wand. Haruto felt that this may be the only way to convince them that he is not a threat and explain to them how he gained magic.
"I see."
"Sorry about what happened, Mr. Soma."
"It's fine."
"Hermione tried everything, but the jurors and Aurors wanted to know…"
"If they want to know if I'm a threat or not…I guess I'll attend this trial in order to prove my innocence."
"Rest assured, Mr. Soma…you'll be given a fair treatment."
"Sounds reassuring. Fine."
"That's good to hear…and thank you for understanding…"
Harry then gave Haruto a potion, which he said will cure him of his magic-related injuries, and he will be good to go. He assured Haruto that he will not suffer any ill-effects, which Haruto nodded. He then drank it and moments later he is cured, and as Haruto thanked him, another Ministry official came, where he told Harry that Haruto Soma is being summoned to the Wizengamot, and that the Ministry of magic officials are in attendance.
Harry stared in surprise as he thought that the interrogation would take place in a few days from now, but the Ministry official said that something unexpected happened and the jurors decided to begin the interrogation immediately, and as Harry did not like the development, Haruto said it is fine since he has nothing to hide and it would be a good opportunity to defend himself from critics and detractors.
Harry nodded, seeing that Haruto is taking the situation well, and told Haruto that there is nothing for him to be afraid of, saying that all he has to do is answer some questions, like what did he do, how he fought the Death Eaters and how he gained the ability to use magic without the use of a wand.
Haruto nodded, saying that he has nothing to hide and that he will simply tell the truth about how he came into the midst of the Death Eaters and unknowingly saved Albus and Scorpius. Haruto said he is ready to face them and prove that he is not a threat to anyone, which Harry nodded, seeing that the ring-bearing wizard is not a villain and not a threat.
"That's good to hear, Mr. Soma."
"I guess this is the only way to clear the misunderstanding and all."
"I suppose."
"This sure takes me back…"
"What do you mean?"
"I went to another magical world…Magic Land…where the magical emperor interrogated me for possessing a similar magic…"
"Magic land? You mean…?"
"Huh?"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as Haruto is slowly getting some TREATMENT just because of being DIFFERENT, such as having a different kind of magic and how he used it without a wand…
Now he is being summoned by the Wizengamot to answer how he gained the magical ability and why he never went to any wizarding school, as well as how and why he has such items that help in using magic…
And a reference is made here which is the 2013 summer movie Kamen Rider Wizard In Magic Land…which Haruito compared Magic Land to the Wizarding World…which made Harry curious…
Preview:
The next chapter will be a tense one as Haruto answers the Wizengamot's questions, despite Hermione being the Minister of Magic and tries to uplhold fair play when some of the jurors became hostile towards Haruto because of the fact that he's a Muggle and uses an unconventional kind of magic…
See you in six weeks (probably around late April)…
Reviews are welcomed but needed...
