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 current story resumes, in which the search for Scorpius commences…while Scorpius himself would soon find out what kind of place he ended up…

In the meantime, a little something for something else…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

The scene shifts at Hogwarts, where several hours ago McGonagall decided to have Hogwarts business move on as usual and the students resume their classes, though some Ministry officials are still there surveying the areas where the incident took place whilst wondering how someone was able to infiltrate Hogwarts if one doesn't possess magic.

Moreover, some Ministry officials interviewed Albus, James, and Rose about the intruder, which the three Hogwarts students said that Diend did not display any kind of magic and instead uses Muggle items like a science fiction-looking gun and some data cards, which, according to Rose, didn't exhibit any magical aura, whilst she described how the intruder was able to summon and wear a suit of armor that wasn't magical in nature.

"Are you sure about what you said?"

"Yes sir."

"So the intruder doesn't possess any kind of magical abilities or use any magical artifact?"

"No, sir."

"Nothing like that."

"There were no magical attacks involved."

Meanwhile, about three days later, things are getting a bit difficult for Albus, as he is trying to keep his cool as he is worried about Scorpius, as he hasn't heard anything from the Ministry or Draco Malfoy about any latest development, while at the same time he is struggling with lessons that are physical in nature, along with the current environment he is in, as it is far from what he is hoping and expecting.

This is indeed the case as he was unable to find and make other friends because of the rather unique situation he is in, which is being the only Potter getting sorted in Slytherin rather than in Gryffindor, where James and Rose are sorted into, and there Albus was largely ignored by other students within Hogwarts.

As he discovered in his first year, Albus did not have a natural gift for magic and struggled in classes such as Potions. During his first flying lesson, Albus failed to demonstrate his flying skills and was subsequently nicknamed the "Slytherin Squib".

"Ha-ha!"

"You're a Potter yet you don't have magic? Pathetic!"

"How and why Hogwarts sent you an invite if you don't have magic?"

"Your dad is probably shaking his head in embarrassment! And your elder brother and cousin are now avoiding you out of shame! You don't have any magic! You're just a squib sorted into Slytherin!"

"Slytherin Squib!"

Consequently, the popular Rose distanced herself from Albus as she disliked the fact her cousin was sorted into Slytherin, and also because she highly disapproved of her cousin's friendship with Scorpius, due to his death-eater family connection, and to her dismay and annoyance, Albus seemingly didn't care about anything else other than showing constant worry over Scorpius, which James jokingly suggested that Albus may have DEVELOPED SOMETHING towards Scorpius, much to Rose's shock, seemingly failing to recognize that James' statement was only a prank, and James realized that Rose might misunderstood and he immediately corrected everything, which she berated her older cousin for making a foolish joke like that.

"James! That wasn't funny!"

"Sorry…I was…"

"And I thought that Albus was g…"

"I was just kidding! You didn't have to…"

"You saw how Albus is acting ever since we boarded the train…"

"Just calm down, Rose..."

"We got to do something about Albus…!"

"Okay, okay…"

Much later, while coming across the Room Of Requirement, Albus sat there alone while taking something out from his backpack, where it revealed to be the Wizardriver, and there he wondered how to use it and what situation Scorpius is in, as he realized that Scorpius doesn't have a wand after accidentally dropping it when he attempted to stop Diend from escaping.

There Peeves The Poltergeist showed up and noticed that Albus is depressed and wondering what to do, and there the mischievous poltergeist sighed as he felt that teasing Albus would be a waste of time and he uncharacteristically told Albus that instead of moping around he should find a way to prove his detractors wrong, which slightly encouraged Albus.

"You know…instead of moping around…why not try something…"

"Huh?"

"You got magic, right? Try showing up something that'll make the idiots regret their words."

"Yeah…"

"So, you think you're up to the challenge?"

"I guess…"

"Then stop crying and do it."

"Fine."

Ch. 38: Yosō-gai no tenkai

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at what appeared to be the parallel version of Japan, which is in the territory of Touto, where Kamen Rider Build is locked in a conflict with some government troopers led by someone as they are now after Ryuga Banjou as the latter was forced to hitch a ride with Kamen Rider Build and fled.

As the Guardians started to chase their targets, Scorpius backed away as he watches the chase commencing, and now he is all alone as the Guardians are mobilized and went after Banjou and the Kamen Rider.

Gentoku walked a bit forward and asks his aides if there are anyone else here, which his aides said that so far there are none, other than Banjou and the Kamen Rider. Gentoku nodded and instructed his aides to use lethal force if needed in order to stop the two escapees from getting far.

The aide then asks what would happen if the two escapees get killed, which Gentoku harshly responded that it does not matter as long as they are brought in.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am."

"But what if those got killed…"

"Who cares? If they break that easily then they are no worth!"

"…"

"Proceed as instructed!"

"Y-yes, sir…"

"…"

As Gentoku is about to leave, he just noticed Scorpius and wondered if the teen wizard witnessed everything, and sensing trouble, Scorpius began feigning innocence and asked if Banjou is a wanted criminal, and somehow Gentoku took the bait, believing that Scorpius is unaware given that Scorpius spoke in English, which made Gentoku feel that he has nothing to worry about, and tells him that Banjou is an escaped criminal who was convicted of murder.

Scorpius, having witnessed everything pretended to be dumbfounded and claimed that Banjou has completely fooled him, and apologized, which Gentoku said it is okay and advised him to be more careful and be mindful of strangers.

"Then that man is…?"

"Yes. A convicted murderer, and he will lie his way out."

"I didn't know. Had I known…I would have…"

"It's fine. You didn't know."

"I'm sorry, sir…I…"

"It's okay. Just be more careful."

"I will, sir."

"Good to hear."

Gentoku then tells Scorpius to go home, saying it is for his own safety, and Scorpius nodded as he walked away, though Gentoku eyed him as he had a feeling that what Scorpius claimed may not be true, even though he felt that Scorpius doesn't know anything, yet Gentoku sensed that something is off, and whispered to his assistant, Nariaki Utsumi, to keep a close, watchful eye on Scorpius just to be sure, which Utsumi nodded.

"Utsumi…carefully trail that boy."

"Are you sure? He doesn't look like he…"

"Just to be sure. I have a feeling that he may have taken what he is told."

"And what if that boy is…?"

"You know what to do."

"Very well."

"Good. Now go."

"Yes, sir."

Utsumi nodded as he began to discreetly follow Scorpius to see what the stray British boy is up to, though Utsumi felt that this is a waste of time seeing that Scorpius wasn't doing anything suspicious, until several minutes later Utsumi noticed that Scorpius appeared to be wandering around.

There you can see that Scorpius began to walk the streets and pondered carefully on where to go, as this is the first time he is in Japan, and has no idea where to start and who to approach, given what he witnessed a while ago, and realized that the government officials here cannot be trusted, and while walking, he can sense that Utsumi is secretly trailing him, and had to think of a way to shake him off.

He calmly walked to a corner before hiding behind a parked car, and there Utsumi is rather taken aback at losing sight of the British boy, and he frantically searched the area, failing to take note of the parked car as Scorpius hid underneath the car, watching Utsumi frantically looking for his target.

After a few minutes, Utsumi called Gentoku and told him that he lost sight of Scorpius, though Gentoku said it is okay, and told him to report back to the hideout, and tells him not to let Scorpius know that they are onto him to avert any suspicion.

"Are you sure, sir?"

"Yes. Forget the boy and head back."

"What if I…"

"In case you ran into him…subdue him and bring him with you. Until then, head back."

"What about Ryuga Banjou?"

"The Guardians will deal with him."

"Very, well sir. Will be heading back."

"Good."

After that, Utsumi leaves the scene, and once the coast is clear, Scorpius came out from hiding and sighed in relief, and now he has to think of a way to get back to England, but also find out what happened to Albus, unaware that the second son of Harry Potter is languishing at Hogwarts due to the fact that he got sorted into Slytherin and that he is being ridiculed by his fellow Hogwarts schoolmates.

-x-

Back at Hogwarts, the scene shifts at the headmistress' office as McGonagall is talking with a Ministry official as she was told of what Albus, James and Rose told him, and said that of what the three students say is true, then there might be a new problem, as the intruder seemingly didn't use magic, and may have a SUPERNATURAL ability to bypass the magical security of Hogwarts, which McGonagall nodded and said that she would come up with ways to counter this seemingly bypass.

"Very well. I'll increase the strength of the magical security here within Hogwarts."

"Very well. And we at the Ministry Of Magic will continue in finding Scorpius Malfoy."

"Yes, we appreciate it."

"For now you need to be careful. The intruder might come back here and make another try in stealing."

"Yes, I am making preparations."

"Okay. Let me know us know if you need assistance."

"Much appreciated…huh?"

"What…?"

Suddenly, the dimensional wall appeared, surprising McGonagall and the Ministry official, and there Tsukasa Kadoya came out, dragging a reluctant Daiki Kaito with him, and McGonagall stared in surprise, as she didn't sense any magical aura from the dimensional wall, and there Kadoya sincerely apologized for the disturbance that Kaito did, and there the Ministry official glanced at Kaito, as he was able to visualize what Albus, James and Rose described earlier, and he immediately drew his wand and aimed at the two Muggles, but McGonagall told him to stand down.

"Stand down."

"But…"

"Its alright."

"But…they just…if they are…"

"They do not seem to be attackers…they do not have wands or anything of magical properties. Lets wait and see."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"…"

After that, Kadoya explained the reason why he dragged Kaito here, and the headmistress nodded as she confirmed that one of the Hogwarts students disappeared following the ruckus a few days ago, and there Kadoya told McGonagall that Kaito will help in finding Socrpius and bring him back here, which McGonagall nodded, seeing that Kadoya is sincere in wanting to help find Scorpius and bring him back safely.

Turning around, Kadoya face-palmed as he saw Kaito sneakily rummaging some books at a shelf, and Kadoya immediately smacked Kaito on the head, and the beating is audible enough to be heard as the two Japanese Muggles began to bicker, with Kadoya threatening to leave Kaito here to face the wrath of the Ministry of Magic, much to Kaito's disbelief.

"I thought I told you to behave."

"But…"

"We're here so you can apologize and to make up for it by finding the British boy who got lost in the dimensional limbo."

"Can't I at least take a souvenir here…"

"Either you behave or I'll leave you here with them and they'll try using magic to CASTRATE you…"

"You can't be serious…!"

"Want a bet?"

"…"

Suddenly, more Ministry officials came, having somewhat SENSED the intruders even though they did not detect any magic, and they drew their wands and aimed at the two Muggles, but McGonagall urged the Ministry members to calm down, reasoning that Kadoya and Kaito are going to help in locating Scorpius, though the Ministry members appeared suspicious towards the two Muggles.

"But the fact that they infiltrated Hogwarts…"

"They could be DARK WIZARDS!"

"Therefore they must be restrained!"

"We must do it now before they get the chance to attack!"

"Indeed!"

At this point Harry Potter came and overheard everything, and there he told the Ministry members to put down their wands as he assured to them that Kadoya and Kaito are no threat here as McGonagall agreed, and there Harry said that he will take responsibility if the two Muggles caused a disturbance inside Hogwarts, and the Ministry members reluctantly conceded as they trust Harry's word.

"Very well…"

Draco then came in, and glancing at the two Muggles, Draco was slowly able to recognize Kaito based on the description that Albus gave, and though slightly livid, he tempered his actions as he professionally demanded answers from Kaito on what he did to Scorpius, though Kadoya tried to maintain calmness inside the headmistress' office and explained to Draco the situation.

Though not pleased with the answers he got, Draco chose to calm down after Kadoya said that he will make Kaito go and find Scorpius, though Draco asked how would that work given that this PARALLEL WORLD is vast and that it would take a longer time to pinpoint Scorpius' exact location, though Kadoya said that he too will participate in finding Scorpius.

Harry listened attentively, and there he told his fellow Ministry officials that there is no need to feel defensive as it is clear that Kadoya and Kaito are going to commence in searching for Scorpius, which the Ministry official reluctantly nodded in acknowledgement.

"Very well…"

Suddenly, someone barges in as she brought out a pen and paper as she approached Kadoya and Kaito, which she began an impromptu interview, much to McGonagall, Harry and Draco's dismay and chagrin, as that person who just barged in was none other than Rita Skeeter herself, who still works for the Daily Prophet, as she is still up to her usual antics despite the many years have passed.

Skeeter (who is born in the year 1951) was a British witch and journalist who specialized in writing poison-pen stories. These stories tended to be based on false information and misreported interviews. She wrote articles for the Daily Prophet, as well as a few 'tell-all' biographies.

Skeeter preferred writing for the sake of publicity and wrote what she thought people would "like to read" and what was lies rather than what they "ought to read" and which was the truth.

Notable stories Rita covered include the trials of various Death Eaters after the First Wizarding War, the Triwizard Tournament, and (albeit reluctantly) Harry Potter's account of Lord Voldemort's return to power in 1995 for The Quibbler. She also wrote biographies of Armando Dippet, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and Harry Potter.

Rita's writing tended to be sensationalist and sometimes outright dishonest, paralleling her beliefs about writing what people "like to read". Her biography of Harry Potter, for instance, was described as being only one-quarter factual with the remaining three-quarters being pure fabrication and general dislike for Harry Potter being made into fake stories. Her ability to acquire information was assisted by her status as an unregistered beetle Animagus.

There Skeeter began inquiring Kadoya and Kaito about the rumors about Muggles wearing MAGICAL ARMORS which are said to be BASED ON INSECTS and CERTAIN ANIMALS, as she showed Kadoya and Kaito the pictures that were secretly taken, which featured the following Kamen Riders who were secretly seen by some eyewitnesses, which are:

- Kamen Rider Gills

- Kamen Rider Faiz

- Kamen Rider Blade

- Kamen Rider Garren

- Kamen Rider Kabuto

- Kamen Rider Os

- Kamen Rider Snipe

Harry and Draco stared in surprise at seeing what Skeeter had just shown, and how the Muggles involved initiated their transformations, though Harry and Draco only saw Os and Snipe transform, it was the first time seeing that there are others, and there Harry and Draco were wondering what to make of this as they never thought that there are certain Muggles who appeared to have certain methods of undergoing similar transformations.

"This…"

"Potter…do you think…?"

"I…I'm not sure…"

"So…there are others that are similar to Haruto Soma…?"

"Can't be certain…"

"But that Skeeter is becoming more than a headache…she hasn't changed for the better after all these years…"

"My thoughts exactly…"

"Damn…"

Meanwhile, Kaito mentally whined in annoyance and told Kadoya that it looks like the Wizarding World is about to experience the Kamen Rider Phenomenon, much to Kadoya's dismay.

"See that, Tsukasa…?"

"…"

"This is why I didn't want to come here…"

"…"

"It really makes me look like wanting to stand out and attract attention."

"…"

"So how are we going to rectify this…?"

"…"

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, as it looks like the situation within Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry is off to a surprising start…in which Kamen Riders Decade and Diend managed to calm down most officials within Hogwarts as they offered to help in locating Scorpius…only for another unexpected situation taking place, as Skeeter showed up and somehow she procured some EVIDENCE about the existence of Kamen Riders in the Muggle world and sensationalized the scoop by making it appear that they are potential MAGICAL TERRORISTS similar to the Death Eaters.

While Scorpius is unknowingly under the watchful eye of the Touto government, Albus gets some encouragement from Peeves The Poltergeist…

Preview:

As the search for Scorpius Malfoy commences, Scorpius himself tries to figure out where he is, and how to get back to his native world as he gets embroiled in more of the situations involving the (MIS)adventures of Kamen Rider Build…and gets more than what he expected…

See you in four weeks…
