It's the same in Harry Potter/X-Men crossovers... why does Harry ALWAYS have to be a mutant?  Isn't his magic enough?

In this one he's not. He's just using his magic to pass himself off as a mutant.

THANK YOU! :D :D


Finally a HP/X-Men xover that doesn't wank out Harry! If you (or anyone for that matter) have any more, then please send links!

"...Born born December 6, 1928 of Fridwulfa and Samuel. Your half brother Gwarp is your only surviving family though you have had numerous pets; Including a boarhound, Acromantula, Hippogriff, dragon and a Hellhound named... Fluffy."

Rubeus Hagrid stared down at the Emerald haired woman that had cornered him, throughly confused at the unlikely meeting that was now taking just outside the reagent shop he had just about to enter. In the end, he resolved the discrepancy with a simple shrug. "Most people would have yelled something like, 'Hey Hagrid!' to get my attention, y'know?"

"My apologize," The red eyed beauty smiled cordigly. "How are you doing today, Mister Hagrid?"

"...Born December 6, 1928 of Fridwulfa and Samuel. Your half brother Grawp is your only surviving family though you have had numerous pets; Including a boarhound, Acromantula, Hippogriff, dragon and a Hellhound named... Fluffy."

Rubeus Hagrid stared down at the Emerald haired woman that had cornered him, thoroughly confused at the unlikely meeting that was now taking place just outside the reagent shop he had been just about to enter. In the end, he resolved the discrepancy with a simple shrug. "Most people would have yelled something like, 'Hey Hagrid!' to get my attention, y'know?"

"My apologies," The red eyed beauty smiled cordially. "How are you doing today, Mister Hagrid?"

Just a preliminary go-over, snagged my attention as I was catching up. I'm not sure of my placement of "been," I'm sure about Grawp but iffy on Fridwulfa, and I want to comment on a few bits of capitalization and the lack of a hyphen in "Emerald haired," but those last bits are, I'm pretty sure, dialect/mis-education issues on my part, if not personal preferance.

If this turns out to be okay, remind me when I'm not up past bedtime and I'll start going over the rest with an eye for corrections instead of pure enjoyment.

Love your characterization of Konatsu, by the way. He/she always came off a bit forced-cute/ominous-jealous-psychotic in the fanfiction portrayals I've seen the kunoichi in. This portrayal comes off as an endearingly cute potential-MADM.

And, as always, can't wait for more.

Eh, personally I can't get into this fic with the amount of 'technology' replacing 'magic'. Thought I'd mention something I noticed though. When Konatsu mentions his 'translation jutsu', the translator should have translated jutsu to either 'technique' or 'spell'. Right now that's a plot hole or at least a screwup by someone.

nyah, nyah, nyaaaaah...
----------------------------

Peck-Peck-Peck.

Konatsu paused in his brush stroke, looking up from the parchment and ink over to the sound's source at the hotel room's window. Ranma paused as well, though his activities consisted of simply staring the room's phone and the accompanying business card next to it in silent contemplation. The sound itself was that of a small object striking glass and Konatsu being the closest, rose to find out exactly what was causing it. The pseudo kunoichi stepped over to the window in question and pulled the crimson drapes aside, finding the view largely clear save a large bird perched on the sill. Both martial artist and ninja watched as it leaned forward, tapping that glass delicately.

"I think it wants in..." The nin stared curiously, then noted something tied to its right talon. "A messenger bird?"

Ranma shrugged and Konatsu unlatched the window, letting the bird gust its wings slightly to hop in and onto the backrest of the nearest chair with no fear of the humans around it. Both stared at what was plainly an owl, completely black except for the white splotched plum on its forehead. Its head rotated from one boy to the other, eyeing the pair with large yellow eyes. It bobbed it's head once and proferred the scroll laden talon to the kunoichi.

"Why thank you Mister Owl!" Konatsu smiled courteously, untying the leather strap that held the scroll in place to free the bird from its bondage. The owl bobbed it's head again and oriented iteslf to the window, taking flight on black wings into the overcast London sky.

"Well that was different." Ranma watched it leave for a moment then shook his head, turning back to Konatsu who was unfurloughing the scroll. Three gold leaf tickets slid away from the bundle falling to the carpeted floor where they were retrieved by the martial artist. He studied one side of a ticket then flipped it over for the other, arching an eyebrow. "Hogwarts Express?"


"In response to your communication, I, Albus Dumbledorf, Headmaster of Howards School of Wizardry and Witchcraft cordially accept your request to meet concerning the dire situation you allude to," The Kunoichi read, clearly enthralled by the flowing cursive script. "Please find accompanying tickets for the Hogwarts Express departing from King's Cross station, platform nine and three quarters--"


"Nine and three quarters?" The pigtailed boy blinked away, pulling away from the gold leaf tickets in hand and focusing on the nin. Half streets he had heard of... But three quarters? From a train station platform?


Konatsu simply shrugged and continued reading, "Tommorow, September first at 11am. Please keep your intentions in the strictest confidence given the subject matter you have broached. Sincerely..."

Knock, knock.

"It's Unlocked, Meiou-san," Ranma answered the closed door, finding the Guardian's distinctive ki out in the hallway beyond.

"That's Setsuna to you," The emerald haired woman smiled as she stepped in, inserting a fractional amount of heat into her words and causing the martial artist to pinken slightly with summoned memory. "I take it the tickets have arrived?"

"Oh, that was a very good guess!" Konatsu smiled, proffering the scroll to her as she walked up to the kunoichi.

"Guess, my ass." Ranma rolled his eyes, only to prompt another warm, teasing smile. Ranma's mouth snapped shut immedietly and watched as her attention turned to the scroll now in hand.

The Mistress of Time gave it a cursorary study and rerolled the scroll as if it had been exactly as she expected. "The tickets will gain us access to the only means of secure transport aside from direct sight to sight teleportation."

"The Hogwarts Express?"

"Exactly," She answered Konatsu directly. "A magical construct- in this case a train and its tracks -rotated nintey degrees..."

"...Outta phase with reality," Ranma finished with a faraway look. He snapped out of it almost as quickly and shrugged at Setsuna's wondering gaze. "Venus was sayin' somethin' like that back there too. Same place?"

"Exactly the same place," The Mistress of Time confirmed, experiencing yet another moment of deja'vu with her guardian counterpart. normally she was the one in the know, holding all the cards as it were. Having somebody around to shoulder the responsibility with her was... gratifying. Even in the presence of the other Senshi, she alone still bore the brunt of destiny. They fought, but they didn't have a grasp of what was truly at stake or what had gone before. In time they would, but until then, she was alone in her mission... alone in her destiny... But... She contemplated the teen next her silently... Maybe not.

"Apparently the refugee site became the foundation for what is a present day academy of wizardry, with civilization spreading outward once it was clear that the enemy had been more or less obliterated," She continued, outlining an abbreviated post-Fall history. "Returning to the moon was an impossibility by then, of course."

Ranma's face went grim while Konatsu glanced from Ranma's darkening mood to Setsuna's subdued one. He raised his hand tepidly, as if in class. "Excuse me, but what does the moon have anything to do with Hogwarts?"

Setsuna stood in contemplative silence for a moment, trying to determine just what to tell the Kunoichi. Ranma snorted softly. The sound contained no humor, falling into the silence like mere punctuation. "You wanna tell him or should I?"

"Be my guest."

Ranma nodded. "Used to be people of there, 'Natsu. Lots of 'em until the war. It was so bad that nearly everybody got wiped out execpt for a few survivors who escaped down here."

Konatsu absorbed the information with a tilted head while the mild expression on his face didn't make it clear as to whether he believed the tale or not. "Who won, then?"

"We did." The Guardian of Pluto replied softly. "If you can call the destruction of an entire civilization winning."

Just some minor edits you need to make on your master copy, Ozz, but looks great from the update.

Dumbledorf is an awesome typo of Dumbledore. :P

It is, but I've noticed that fanon kasumi is pretty exagerated. It's more fanon kasumi sounds like canon Konatsu (which i've been guilty of too), because i'd like to think i'm portraying Konatsu spot on. He's the super passive, oblivious and eager to please type where as kasumi leans in that direction, exaggerated to Konatsu levels by fanon.

At least that's my view of it.

I agree, but then Canon!Kasumi is a non entity in my opinion. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if Takahashi didn't include her only to drive Tofu crazy.

If it weren't for that no one would probably notice her absence.

True. She's a throw away character unfortunately. Hell, Konatsu had more character and plot depth invested in him in the what? Three arcs he appeared? but yeah, completely agree. You have to extrapolate a lot when portraying kasumi because of it.

Yeah, now that we know what year Harry is going to be in - or if he is at Hogwarts at all.

Given that Hagrid stated that he is the groundskeeper at Hogwarts, this is prior to the start of Harry's third year, when he became the CoMC instructor.

Konatsu absorbed the information with a tilted head while the mild expression on his face didn't make it clear as to whether he believed the tale or not. "Who won, then?"

"We did." The Guardian of Pluto replied softly. "If you can call the destruction of an entire civilization winning."

"I... See..." The Kunoichi picked over the terse history carefully, wieghing before forward his own hypothisis. "Would it be fair to assume that the forces arrayed against us are those of the tale?"

"Leftovers." Ranma nodded. Setsuna shook her head at his the completely inadequate descriptive of the forces arrayed against them.

"And left unchecked, spell certain doom for those in the here and now." The guardian added soberly. "It's not to late to back out."

Konatsu shook his head emphatically. "Goodness, I wouldn't think of doing such a thing! It is a ninja's solem duty to combat demonic forces and evil spirits!"

Damn, Setsuna groused mentally but schooled an even expression. "Then gather up everything you need. We head out tommorow."

-------------

Ukyo Kuonji yawned, dressed but still wallowing lethargically as she walked down the stairs that connected her second story apartment to her resteraunt on the ground floor. Rays of sunlight pierced the vacant space as walked across the small area and around the counter, frowning. Getting lazy, she noted mentally, half expecting Konatsu to already be up and preparing the kitchen for the lunchtime opening. Still, oversleeping by a half hour was still something well within her ability to compensate for. After all, she had been raised around cooks most of her life and kitchen prep was second nature to the Okanomiyaki master. Flour, batter, eggs, oil... Her brain began to run down the initial checklist until stopped by something out of place in her usual routine; specifically a letter lying on the floor, having been slipped through the door mail slot sometime during the night.

She paused and steeped around the counter and stools, instantly recognizing Konatsu's flowing script as she bent down to stach the correspondence up. A slight smile crossed her face as she ran a finger along the envelope's edge to liberate the note inside.

Mistress Ukyo,
Per your instructions I have followed Mister Ranma in order to determine his final destination. He has flown to London, England in the company of Professor Meiou. I will send another letter once i determine the exact location of their stay.

Your devoted servant,
Konatsu


London? Ukyo's grip began to crinkle the edge of the letter as she attempted to find either rythme or reason as to the sudden relocation. The obvious answer was the green haired "history professor", not that she bought that into that for a second. The meiou woman was as much a history teacher as kuno was a samurai. The fact that she was good looking and alone with her Ran-chan was disconcerning enough, let alone appraently had the resources to spirit him away half way around the world from beneath their very noses. In fact, the only good news was that she was now in possession of the sole piece of information indicating Ranma's whereabouts. A mischievious grin crossed face and she spun on a heel, racing back upstairs to pack.

Unbeknownst to scheming fiancee, others fiancees had been scheming before her. Konatsu's letter had actually reached Nermia yesterday morning. The mail carrier was promptly intercepted my a purple haired female amazon teen who liberated Konatsu's letter by force, usurping the contents and erasing the postman's memory through the use of berry fresh formula 411. With little memory of what had just happened, the civil service employee continued along his way, managing only a few more blocks before being intercepted Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno, who took turns plying the postman with money and drugs until his resistance broke, surrendering the the correspondence between hallucinatory episodes. Some time later he woke up slumped over on a nearby bench with only hazy memories as to how he had come to be thirty thousand yen richer. While midday found him with a splitting headache, the postal carrier was marginally closer to the completion of his delivery route until being beset upon by none other than the Ice Queen herself, Nabiki Tendo. After some choice examples of indiscretions on the job- namely drug use and bouts of senility -he reluctantly surrendered the contents of the letter to Nabiki and was subsequently thirty thousand yen lighter for having spoken to the girl to begin with.

In the end, Konatsu's letter did get to its recipient as intended, save the fact that Ukyo Kuonji, Master Okanomiyaki Chef was the very last to become aware of Ranma Saotome's whereabouts.

Gawd, the only good thing about this is that Setsuna, Ranma, and Konatsu are leaving London before the Idiot NWC shows up. Maybe they will be lucky and the British gov't calls in Hellsing to deal with these incoming bothersome troublemakers. ^^
