Asuna/Kirito HP/?

Takes place just before the beta testing and after Voldemort has bitten the dust. Voldemort died when Harry was 17 in 2022 so he was born 2005. Yes it's AU in terms of alternate time stream but that's all.

Harry had won and in the minutes just after realising he had won made the quickest decision of his life. He was going to leave England and head to Japan, when he was 15 Sirius had snuck themselves out of Grimmauld Place over Christmas with help from the Weasley Twins and the late Remus Lupin.

The godfather and son duo made it to Gringotts where the Goblins informed Harry that he was among the top five richest wizards in the UK and top ten internationally. He also had stocks in various booming muggle companies according to Gringotts and various properties both magical and muggle world-wide.

Harry thought about that with a wry grin, he had been spat on; hated and revered in the wizarding world because of his destiny and now they were going to want him to comply with their rules once more. "Time to let my Slytherin side out once again…Thank you Hermione for supplying me with muggle books for education ever since first year."

Harry realised that the wizarding world was extremely neglectful of their muggle counterparts especially in Wizarding Britain. Other places like Europe and Asia small sections of the worlds connected together mainly in the form of entertainment and medicine. But in America wizards and mundanes as Harry had researched even accepted each other openly.

"Hey Harry." A soft voice said from behind him, Harry grinned he didn't even need to turn around to realise it was Hermione. Hermione, Neville, Luna and his Quidditch team from 2011 to 2016 with the exception of those who replaced them were the people Harry trusted the most. They knew of Harry's tough life and they helped by giving him useful tips, tricks, hints and spells. He had hidden all of that knowledge and his true potential under the mask of a mediocre student.

"Hermione; don't tell me the sheep are already saying I should settle down and marry a pureblood." Harry replied as he overlooked the smouldering Hogwarts grounds that were once resplendent and green.

Hermione nodded and stood next to him on his right hand side "So what are you going to do? Wait I'm not stupid Harry, you can hide anything from almost anyone except me…You're going to hide. Get out and enjoy life as you can…We get going…Neville, Myself and Luna can stall them for you to get a few hours head start."

Harry nodded "Agriatou Hermione-neechan." Hermione stiffened at the Japanese, one of the boons from being an impartial Horcrux to Riddle was that Harry had picked up a few of the man's better traits such as diplomacy, charisma and affinity for mundane languages as much as the former Dark Lord hated to admit it.

Harry pulled on his black coat and headed towards the gates almost like a ghost until he ran into his old head of house and now Acting Headmistress "Going somewhere Mr. Potter?"

"Yes Professor…I'm tired of Britain; tired of the British Wizarding World; tired of being the Boy-Who-Lived/ Man-Who-Won/The-Chosen-One/Next-Albus-Dumbledore." McGonagall looked at the tired old young man in front of her and her heart bled for him…When he entered Hogwarts his eyes gleemed with excitement but behind them she had seen a hardness to them which grew ever so slightly every single year. It was all her fault on that Halloween Night back in 2005 when she and Hagrid stood to one side and allowed Albus Dumbledore to place him in hell.

Harry grinned ruefully at the sorrowful woman "It's not your fault Professor. You did all you could and nothing more. I don't blame you for anything though I wish you had listened to me when we came to you with our concerns during our adventures."

McGonagall nodded tears welling in her eyes and in a moment the calm and collected Transfiguration Mistress hugged her favourite students legacy "Be safe Hadrian Potter. Keep in touch if you so wish and I shall see you either soon or when your time here has finished."

Harry nodded he had grown considerably over the years and was now a good eight inches taller than the headmistress. He bowed deeply to her in respect and gratitude, spun on his heel and left the grounds apparating away with a muffled pop much similar to the late Albus Dumbledore.

Harry landed at Gringotts and headed to the teller who handed him a bag of Yen, Passport and Muggle school grades sent under his first name and mother's maiden name to Hermione's school. "Take the standard commission and an additional 25% percent as goodwill to you, your family and the Glorious Horde of Gringotts as reparation for my reckless damage of Goblin property and killing several goblins in the process."

The Goblins stared "You would sacrifice your gold because you saved the Wizarding World! NO! Lord Potter we won't take your offer for reparation from your account but we will take it from the vast amount that you have won through conquest."

Harry nodded "25% of solid non goblin commodities and liquid assets and 35% and first hand pick of all the Goblin artefacts."

"Deal Lord Potter." A gravelly voice said from behind him, Harry spun and knelt.

"Ragnok-Sama, Goblin King of the Goblin Glands of Britain, Second Lord of Gring, Lord of Swords."

Ragnok boomed in laughter "Lord Potter, James Hadrian; Boy-Who-Live, Man-Who-Won, Chosen-One, Leader of the Light…We accept the deal. Out of curiosity where will you go?"

"Land of the Rising Sun."

Ragnok nodded "Lord Tzu, yes named after the very same general. He's the manager of the Gring horde in Japan and Asia. He'll contact me for your needs."

Harry bowed again and left after managing to say 'May your enemies fall to your swords and may you ever prosper' in Gobbledygook and most likely mangling it entirely.

'And too my comrade…Your accent is terrible.' Harry headed into London and caught the first Plane to Japan without looking back.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

"LINK! START!" Harry called from his bed, the Nerve Gear whirled, chirped and soon Harry found himself leaving his body as he was flung online into the Beta of something called a VRMMORPG or Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The game was called Sword Art Online and quite frankly Harry was gripped by it.

'This is not a game to play but a game to be lived.' Was the caption as he entered the character creation area of the game, Harry grinned as he realised he could be whatever he wanted to be.

Harry began filling out his details and slowly but surely a life like version of him sprung into existence "This is bloody wicked." He commented to himself suddenly the room dissolved and he and nine hundred and ninety nine other people materialised in a square.

"Welcome beta gamers to Sword Art Online...You have a month to get as far as you can in this game before it goes on the market."

Harry remembered the tutorial in the window and immediately checked his life bar and stats.

Harry closed his inventory and headed out of the town, Harry stared down the boar that came charging at him, he drew his blade but he didn't know how to use it when suddenly a glowing blue blade sliced into the boar.

"First time playing an MMORPG?" A voice called out. Harry spun around and noticed at a glance the newcomer knew what he was doing. The guy was wearing the armour as him and equipped the same 'Okay judging by the clothes this is a generic start up so everyone is on an equal footing'. "Yeah you could say that. Familiar with the one on one, free roaming hack and slash games that are one or two players...Never allowed to be very good though." Harry replied nonchalantly before gulping.

The newcomer stared "How come? Sorry where are my manners I'm Kirito." Kirito explained with a sheepish grin offering his hand out.

Harry shook it "I'm Hari...Kirito how did you know this was my first time playing an MMORPG?"

Kirito shared Harry and grin "Your stance, surprise at how life like the world is..." Harry shrugged at the statements but had to cut him off.

"Looking at you I'd say that this is your first in an Virtual Reality but you played games like World Of Warcraft, Runescape, League of Legends. Used to this sort of thing based on the fact you're carrying the sword relatively loosely in your hand...Also because of that indicates you use online games to get away from revelations that you found out when you were younger."

Hari nodded and noticed the time his dinner was nearly done and he needed to get out but he needed to learn how to fight "Kirito-san, I'll talk to you more later but I need to log out and get my dinner. Can you show me how to do that glowing light thing."

Kirito nodded "Draw the blade and feel as if you're about to go for a strike...It's called a pre-motion the blade then takes care of the rest."

Harry drew the blade and held it vertically and true enough a green glow began to encase the blade, Harry launched himself forward at a newly spawned boar and hit it full on in the neck with a technique that read VERTICAL. The boar's head split from it's body and it disentigrated.

"Agriato Kirito-san...I'll see you later."

Harry sat bolt upright on his mattress, pulling the Nerve Gear off his head and he headed into the kitchen. The flat had two bedrooms, bathroom, living room and a kitchen. The kitchen living room was open spaced with his bookshelves in the corner of the room.

As Harry pulled his dinner out of the oven his mind drifted back to his first experience of Diagon Alley and Hogwarts.

Flashback

Harry was in amazement this place clearly went against any sort of Quantum Physic's and Mechanics. The only reason he knew about them was because he had pilfered a broken laptop of Dudley's and hid it in Dudley's second room and after trial and error managed to fix the circuit board and power pack with his magic.

"This hard to believe that this place is hidden underneath normal London."

Hagrid had boomed a laugh and escorted Harry to the shops he needed to visit.

End Flashback 1

Flashback 2
(Year 1 beginning)

Harry had been unimpressed by the train journey. Sure a hidden railway going through the English and Scottish Countryside was cool. Harry much preferred his secret enjoyment reading; and the reading of fantasy, sci-fi and the classics such as Raven by Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare but his favourite was manga. Harry had even taken it upon himself to speak and write the language for when Dudley, Harry knew would demand a Japanese exclusive game and need someone to translate.

The castle was beautiful but that was it, Harry had brought his collection of 'Broken' items such as the laptop, an MP3 player only when he opened the laptop it came up with a no internet symbol. 'DAMNIT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP WITH MY INTERESTS', Harry swore to himself and made the resolution to make contact with those who came from a non-magical household and ask them to get his interests.

End Flashback 3
(Year 1, after Troll and Fluffy)

Harry was severely pissed off! First of all the school had a bloody 'Guardian of Hell' imprisoned on the third floor that looked like it needed some major TLC and steaks, all because he had been stupid enough to rise to a Bully's taunts. Finally on Halloween a troll, something that Harry had read about as exceptionally dumb and avoided humans on principle had entered the school and he had to risk his life and risk breaking his wand giving said Troll a rodeo whilst Neville 'bless his cotton socks' had managed to levitate the Troll's club after one incorrect pronunciation and missing with two more before knocking the troll out as Ron came barging into the toilet.

Ron in Harry's opinion was worse than Dudley and the emerald eyed kid didn't think that could be possible. The boy was rude, belligerent and completely lazy; plus his table manners and hygiene were utterly revolting.

Harry was already counting the days till he could be rid of the boy. But little did he know that Ron would become a decent friend who would be willing to risk his life mostly to help Harry and Hermione take down Voldemort in six years.

(End Flashback 3)

Harry scarfed down his pasta and placed his Nervegear back on his head he figured he could get four or so more hours in on the beta. Harry snorted to himself ever since he had rediscovered his love for videogames he had quickly set himself up as a paid beta tester and that was how he won this chance with Sword Art Online. "Must definitely pre-order this when I get the chance." He thought to himself as he turned on the power.

"LINK START!"
