Ideas, plot bunnys that won't let go, possible future stories. feel free to pick up the stories if you like them.
Hi everyone and welcome back to the Vault. This time its for a cross of Harry Potter and Sword Art Online. However, it won't have much to do with SAO, other than the fact its set in the same world and Harry plays ALO. For obvious reasons I am messing with the timeline so the time frame actually works. Enjoy!
Harry Potter: Squib, Gamer, Fairy
Timeline
1999: The First Wizarding War starts with Voldemorts uprising.
2007: Lily Evans and James Potter are married almost as soon as they leave school. They later go on to battle and escape from Voldemort 3 times.

He stuns Lily and James, before attempting to kill the twins. The spell is reflected and Voldemort's body destroyed. After examining both twins, Dumbledore discovers that Harry is a Squib and so declares Jade as the Girl-Who-Lived.
2011-2021: The Potters become celebrities, but do not allow it to go to there heads (well, maybe a little) but raise both their children into fine young people. Jade starts Hogwarts at 11 while Harry attends Muggle school and proves that he has inherited his mother's brains. Despite his lack of magic, he gets on well with his sister and family, although he does get into gaming. While working in the Department of Mysteries Lily Potter discovers a way to convert electronic goods to work around magic by adapting them to run on it. This allows Muggleborns to introduce Muggle technology and slowly advances the Wizarding world, despite fierce opposition from the Pure Bloods.

Lily Potter quits her job as an Unspeakable and takes a job as Muggle Studies Teacher at Hogwarts. James Potter is promoted to Head Auror.
2023: Harry gets into the new VRMMORPG ALfheim Online playing on an international server. He plays a Slyph and meets Leafa/Kirigaya Suguha through it, becoming friends with her.
2024: SAO ends when the Black Swordsman, Kirito, defeats Akihiko in a one on one duel. Out of the original 10000 players trapped, only 6147 make it out alive. The Quidditch World Cup finals between Ireland and Bulgaria is hosted in England where Voldemort's followers who avoided Azkaban attack. The Triwizard Tournament is announced at Hogwarts.
"Harry, I'm going now," said James, sticking his head around his sons door.
The head Auror was heading to Hogwarts to witness the commencement of the Triwizard tournament as the Head of Security.
"OK dad," said Harry distractedly as he fiddled with the small pile of computer parts on his desk.
"Will you be alright on your own?" asked James.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," replied Harry, setting down the parts and flipping up the goggles he was wearing, "I'll play some ALO."
"OK, just don't stay up to late," said James, before leaving the room.
Harry grinned and stood, moving over to his bed where an AmuSphere was plugged into the wall. The young Squib grabbed the gaming device and slipped it onto his head, laying back and getting comfortable as he listened to the device hum to life.
"Link, start."
There was a blur of colour as Harry activated the Full Dive system, before numerous checks popped up, checking the systems calibration to the teens senses. Within 30 seconds, the teen felt the experience of falling, before everything went black. Harry opened his eyes to find himself in a glowing city, filled with thousands of individuals walking around with swords, staves and other weapons attached to their bodies. A grin appeared on Harry face, before he sprinted off into the city to find his friends.
Back in the real world, in a castle in the Scottish Highlands, the other members of the Potter family were sat in the Great Hall, waiting with everyone else for the Goblet to spit up the names of the Champions of the Three Schools. This was the second feast in two days, meaning that most people were already finished and waiting eagerly for Dumbledore to finish so they announcement of Champions could begin. Eventually, the old man stood, resulting in an instant silence as the exited students turned their gaze to him.
"Well, the goblet is almost ready to make its decision," said Dumbledore, "I estimate that it requires one more minute. Now, when the champions' names are called, I would ask them please to come up to the top of the Hall, walk along the staff table, and go through into the next chamber" - he indicated the door behind the staff table - "where they will be receiving their first instructions."
He took out his wand and gave a great sweeping wave with it; at once, all the candles except those inside the carved pumpkins were extinguished, plunging them into a state of semi darkness. The Goblet of Fire now shone more brightly than anything in the whole Hall, the sparkling bright, bluey-whiteness of the flames almost painful on the eyes. Everyone watched, waiting, a few people kept checking their watches.
Abruptly, the flames inside the goblet turned red and sparks began to fly from it. Next moment, a tongue of flame shot into the air, a charred piece of parchment fluttered out of it, drawing a gasp from the whole room. Dumbledore caught the piece of parchment and held it at arm's length so that he could read it by the light of the flames, which had turned back to blue-white.
"The Champion of Durmstrang shall be Viktor Krum!"
The room erupted into cheers as the red clad Bulgarians started chanting the Quidditch players name and stamping their feet as the duck footed teen slouched through the door. The clapping and chanting died down as everyone's attention refocused again on the goblet, which, seconds later, turned red once more. A second piece of parchment shot out of it, propelled by the flames.
"The champion for Beauxbatons," said Dumbledore, "is Fleur Delacour!"
A beautiful blond stood from the Ravenclaw table and moved to the top of the room as the hall once more erupted into cheers.
The Goblet of Fire turned red once more; sparks showered out of it; the tongue of flame shot high into the air, and from its tip Dumbledore pulled the third piece of parchment.
"The Hogwarts champion," he called, "is Cedric Diggory!"
The yellow and black clad table erupted into applause as a handsome teen stood and made his way to the top of the hall to a standing ovation from his classmates.
"Thats it!" yelled Dumbledore, his voice easily rising over the cheering and chanting, "We now have our three Champions! I'm sure I don't need to encourage you to give them your full..."
The old man trailed off as the the Goblet activated once more, spewing red flames that quickly as it spat out a fourth piece of parchment. The old man automatically reached up and caught it, staring blankly at the parchment for a moment before clearing his throat.
"Harry Potter."
Silence filler the room before what Dumbledore had said sunk in and Lily Potter let out a startled gasp and James shot to his feet, his chair falling back with a crash.
"What? You can't be serious Dumbledore!" he exclaimed, dashing around the table and snatching the parchment from his hand.
Sure enough, there on the paper was the name Harry Potter.
"Thats not possible," whispered James, "Harry has been at home the entire time the Goblet was out. More to the point, hes a Squib! Surely the Goblet wouldn't choose a Squib to compete in the Tournament?!"
Dumbledore just shrugged helplessly as the students began to mumble. amongst themselves.
"I have no idea whats happened James," said the old man, "You are right however, the Goblet should not be able to accept a Squib or Muggle name."
Before anything else could be said however, the Goblet seemed to activate again, this time spewing thin tongues of fire that began carving a design into the ground that most of the Adults recognised as a summoning circle. The students and staff watched as the circle began to glow a bright green, a symbol that looked almost like a stylised E appearing in the center. A second later, the circle flashed brightly and a silhouette appeared floating a few inches above the floor. The light slowly faded, revealing the occupant of the circle.
It was a young male who stood around 5'6, with a slim frame, forest green hair that was almost black and bright green eyes that were the colour of newly opened leaves. He was dressed in what appeared to be a light leather breastplate over a white t shirt and under a sleeveless long coat that was the same shade of dark forest green as his hair with fingerless gloves on his hands and metal bracers that extended from the back of his and up to his elbow. His legs were covered by a pair of white shorts and brown leather boots and had metal plates to protect his shins. In one hand he held an ornate longsword with a gold hilt, while in the other was a short combat knife with a ring attached to the blunt side of the hilt. However, the most distinguishing feature of the boy was his long, pointed ears that emerged from beneath his hair and the pale green, sparkling wings that emerged from his back.
"Where the hell am I?" asked the fairy boy, "Is this some kind of event?"
Half an hour earlier, ALO, Swilvane
Harry sprinted through the streets of the capital city of the Sylphs, his eyes peeled for his , he caught sight of one such friend standing in front of a bulletin board, looking around nervously. Harry smirked as he activated his Stealth skill and snuck up on the group, before suddenly grabbing the kid with the knife with a loud yell, causing him to jump 10 feet into the air with a yelp of fright and Harry to fall over laughing, his Stealth vanishing as he did so.
"HARRY! You scared the crap out of me!" yelled the kid he had scared after he picked himself up.
"Hehe, sorry Recon, but that was too good an opportunity to miss," said Harry as he got his laughter back under control.
Recon was one of Harry's friends within the world of ALO, having been introduced to him through their mutual friend, Leafa. He had the appearance of a teenage Sylph with yellow-green bob-styled hair and green eyes, as well as a delicate body and the standard long pointed ears. he wore a hooded long-sleeved green cardigan over a long dark green shirt covered by a dark blue vest, a pair of brown pants with armor around his shins and a pair of dark gray shoes, along He also wears a belt with his dagger strapped to its back.
"Why is it always me?" whined the other Sylph.
"Because its fun getting past your vaulted tracking skills," said Harry with a grin.
Recon grumbled for a moment, before suddenly jerking straight.
"By the way, have you seen Leafa?" he asked.
"No, I've only just logged in," said Harry, "Why did something happen?"
"We were attacked by Salamanders coming back and got separated," said Recon, pacing worriedly, "And shes not back yet! What if she got killed?"
"Calm down Recon," said Harry, putting a hand on his friends shoulder to stop his pacing, "Leafa's tough, it'll take more than a bunch of Salamanders to beat her."
"I guess you right," said Recon with a sigh.
The two friends began to walk through the streets together, sharing stories of events that had happened while the other was offline, along with Harry teasing his friend over his crush on Leafa. Eventually the two reached the center of the city where they were treated to the sight of a Spriggan slamming face first into the Keep, as well as their friend looking at said Black Fairy in amusement as he groaned in pain.
"Leafa, your OK!" yelled Recon, running up to the female Sylph.
Leafa had bright green eyes and blond hair that was tied up in a ponytail with a flower-like hairband and wore white and green robes, a white and green collar on her neck and a brown leather corset around her waist that did an excellent job of accentuating her large bust. Her weapon of choice was a curved sword.
"Oh hey Recon, yes I'm fine," said Leafa, turning to face her friend from where she had been talking to the Spriggan.
At that moment, Recon suddenly seemed to notice the black clad fairy for the first time.
"AH, a Spriggan!" he yelped, jumping back and gripping his knife.
"No, its OK, he saved me from those Salamanders," said Leafa, before turning to the black clad fairy, "This is my friend, his names Recon."
"Hey there, my names Kirito," said the Spriggan, holding out a hand to shake.
Kirito was clad in the default Spriggan gear, indicating that he was a relatively new player, and had a delicate face that held no trace of masculinity, meaning that had Leafa not introduced him as a male, Harry would have assumed he was in fact a girl. He had spiky black hair and large, mischievous eyes.
"Oh, nice to meet you," said Recon, before jumping back, "Wait, what am I talking about, I take that back! You sure about him? he could be a spy or something! OW!"
At this point Harry had walked over and whacked Recon over the head.
"If he was a spy he's not a very good one," he said, before turning to Kirito, "Hey, my names Harry.
"Nice to meet you," said Kirito, shaking Harry's hand.
"Plus, if he was a spy, I doubt he'd be such a ditz," said Leafa with a grin.
"Gee, thanks a lot," muttered Kirito.
"Anyway, Sigurd and the others are waiting for you at the tavern," said Recon, drawing attention back to him.
"Oh thats right, hmm," said Leafa, taking a thinking pose, before clapping her hands and looking apologetic, "On second thought I can't go today!"
"Well, as much as I love watching you to reorganize your date, I really gotta go," said Harry as he checked the time, "I said I'd meet up with some other friends to go hunting. It was nice meeting you Kirito."
Harry turned around and opened his wings, shooting into the sky and away from the city. As he flew through the nights sky of Alfheim, the young Squib couldn't stop the wide grin that crossed his face. The love of flying ran in his family and even if he couldn't use a broom, he could still fly in this world and in a way his father and sister could only dream of. The teen closed his eyes and basked in the moonlight and the simulated wind that blew across his face and ruffled his forest green hair.
As he had his eyes closed, Harry missed the blue fire that began to appear around him in the shape of a pentagram, although he did notice when he was suddenly grabbed by an unknown force. Harrys eyes snapped open as he looked around wildly, taking in the blue flaming star that now surrounded him completely. He narrowed his eyes and reached for the sword and dagger sheathed on his back, drawing them slowly as he scanned the area around him for the source of this unusual spell, ready to fight. However, even with his Detection skill, the young Sylph couldn't see the source of the fire. He was just about to try a spell of his own when the circle suddenly lit up blue, making him snap back into a ready position as he felt the pulling sensation he recognised as a Teleport.
He allowed the Teleport to take hold, only to immediately realize that something was wrong as, rather than appearing instantly, he was pulled through a blinding blue tunnel. As he was, a second tunnel suddenly joined his and something shot out of it, colliding with him and shattering, the pieces being absorbed into his body before he could get a good look at it. Before he could do anything else, the tunnel ended abruptly and he appeared in a blinding flash. He blinked to clear the spots from his vision, before scanning his surroundings. He was in a large room with four large tables filled with robed kids who were looking at him like they had never seen a Sylph before, with a fifth table at the top where a large number of adults were sat and a large, wooden cup full of blue-white fire.
"Where the hell am I?" he asked, "Is this some kind of event?"
END! So, what do you think? I hope I got the dates right and didn't screw up the Maths.
