This was another fanfic idea which i came up with after going to a convention and brought a copy of the City of Villians Special Edition box. The characters in it had always been interesting to me so when i finally got the internet back i read about the history and bio of the characters which in turn led me to write the crossover here. strange dreams, kidnapping, character death, torture and Evil!Harry were the key ingredients here and i currently have this chapter and 2 more written, this i do have to say is one of my more darker stories... although the torture scene was reused and edited in my New Rapture fanfiction.
City of…
Harry Potter/City of Villains crossover
Summary: a new figure is stirring up trouble and after the boy who lived disappears from his home, he reappears and not to help.
Warning: Dark/Evil Harry, manipulation, mind control, torture.
Timeline: Set at the end of book 7 for Harry Potter.
Dislaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or City of Villains, they both belong to their respective owners. I'm just boring them for fanfic purposes and am not making money out of this.
Prologue: Restfulness
Harry was asleep, he knew he had to be, the place that surrounded him had recently been almost destroyed by Lord Voldermort.
He stood in the Great Hall the room was undisturbed, the large banners fluttering above the tables as an unearthly wind caused them to move. Harry walked through the school and examined the portraits, all empty.
Confusion was his main trail of thought wondering what his mind was showing him. He reached the top of Hogwarts and looked over the grounds to see no sign of disturbance. What was the point of this dream?
'There does not have to be a point to everything.' A voice responded and Harry spun around to see his mum standing before him.
"What is going on then? Why am I here if there is no point?" Harry asked.
"My Son, you are feeling lost after what has happened, you don't have to worry, Voldermort is gone, his soul passed on to the next life. You are at peace now. But that is why you feel lost isn't it?" She asked softly as she walked over to him.
"Of course I feel lost, I believed that I was going to die when I faced Voldermort. What am I supposed to do with myself?" Harry asked.
"No matter what you do, we will be proud of you." Lily responded and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
The image of the castle faded away and her touch along with it and Harry spun round the darkness to see that she had disappeared. Slowly his dream showed him Hogwarts again though this time it was burning and strewn across the grounds were bodies. Harry had the urge to throw up as he looked at the devastation and then looked at the roof of Hogwarts to see a figure in black and white with long white hair floating above it watching with an expressionless face.

Harry was thrown out of his dream and sat up wiping the sweat from his face as he looked around his room. Since he no longer lived in Privet Drive, he had turned down the offer to stay at the Weasley's at least temporarily as he wanted time to be by himself, he even avoided Grimmuald place as he just wanted time to be by himself. He agreed to stay there when his birthday came round though for about a week before returning to Grimmuald Place. Looking at the window he saw an owl perched on the ledge. Harry opened the window, the owl flew in and dropped a letter before leaving.
Rubbing his eyes he opened the letter and started to read.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to the circumstances of last year and your not attending of your seventh year I would like to meet with you concerning your N.E.W.T.s, if you can meet with me before your birthday, please send a response by owl as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress of Hogwarts
Harry smiled, it looks like things were as they should, McGonagall was now Headmistress of the School and Harry briefly wondered who they would hire to replace her as Transfiguration teacher. Harry grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled a reply agreeing to meet on the 29th, 2 days before his birthday and then sent the letter off with Hedwig. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 3am. He wondered if he would get to sleep again and also wondered on who that figure was.
He chalked it up to dodgy dreams, his subconscious trying to fill in an enemy to replace Voldermort when there were none to take his place.
Sure the dark lord was dead but his death eaters still lived, many had escaped the final battle after the death of Voldermort and were now fighting the Auror's in small skirmishes, Harry would have joined but after the final battle he just wanted to rest. He turned and looked out the window over the silent street where the Leaky Cauldron was built. Harry had never really paid much attention to Muggle London, but he was curious as to what was out there now. He finally realized that he had been secluded for all his life, even after he became a wizard he never took the time to explore places that he had never visited. Slowly he climbed back into the bed and tried to sleep hoping that with this sleep he would get a restful peace.

Harry awoke the next morning and got changed into some basic muggle clothes, after the defeat of Voldermort he had made sure to buy a new set of clothes to wear while in the muggle world. Tucking the wand into his pocket he exited his room and apparated so he was outside of Gringotts and then he paused just before he went to enter and wondered if they had forgiven him for breaking in yet. Oh well no time like the present to find out…
He walked in and immediately two Goblin guards pointed spears at him.
"I am here to withdraw money from my account and also to make a formal apology to the head of Gringotts." Harry stated and the two guards ushered him into an office at which a Goblin sat behind a desk.
"So this is Mr. Potter the infamous thief and man who defeated The Dark Lord." The Goblin stated and Harry raised an eyebrow.
"You know me yet I do not know you." He commented calmly and the Goblin smiled a toothy smile.
"Of course, of course. I am Raxesb Evilblade and I am the Head of Gringotts." He said and Harry nodded his head.
"Well I am here to apologize for breaking into Gringotts. It was a necessary evil that helped in the destruction of Voldermort." Harry explained and Raxesb nodded his head.
"Of course, I understand that which is why deductions from your account have already been made for all the damages that were caused." Raxesb explained and Harry's jaw dropped.
"But then why the armed guards?" Harry asked and Raxesb chuckled.
"It is not often that we get the chance to intimidate wizards, that and I needed to talk to you about the closing of your trust fund since you have come of age."
"I assumed that would be the case, I understand that there is a Potter family vault?" Harry questioned and Raxesb nodded and handed a key to Harry.
"This is your new key, the most recent records of your holdings have been sent to your house and Gringotts would like to continue business with you." Raxesb stated and Harry bowed slightly to the Goblin.
"I would love to continue business here," Harry responded and with a goodbye from Raxesb he left the room and returned to the desk to get some money out.
Next stop for Harry: Muggle London.
