A small six year old boy sat there, scared, in a small cupboard under the stairs
His hair was matted and long, covering his glasses covered green eyes, his clothes seemed to be two sizes too big, but that was because he was scraggly and scrawny, like he was starved.
This was a child called Harry Potter
Suddenly there was banging in the cupboard door, making him jump in fear "BOY! GET OUT HERE! WE'RE LEAVING!" He ordered
"Y-Yes, Uncle Vernon." Harry squeaked, getting up though it was difficult.
He pushed the door open as best as he could, walking out "W... Where are we going?"
"Don't ask stupid questions. I've told you enough times!" Uncle Vernon snapped.
Vernon was a portly man, ruddy great face, stiff moustache and a temper that could rival a rampant rhino's
"I-I'm sorry." Harry responded
"Japan, stupid boy." A shrill woman's voice responded
"Japan, Aunt Petunia?" Harry asked, turning to the voice
Aunt Petunia, tall, thin and a tight bun hairstyle, wearing a pink dress and covered in a cardigan.
"Yes, Japan. Your uncle has an important conference to get too and he's paid for your ticket. So don't be ungrateful!" Aunt Petunia answered
"S... Sorry." Harry mumbled
"Come along!" Vernon ordered, grabbing Harry by the scruff of his neck and lead him out, to where in their car, was a boy, a bit older than Harry, but was pudgier and looked meaner. This was Harry's cousin, Dudley.
Harry was basically thrown into the car and from there he was silent. He was silent in the car ride over. Quiet in the air port. Quiet on the plane. Quiet as they landed. Like the world did not affect him.
But as he stood there, looking at Japan... His jaw was dropped in amazement and joy. This place looked beautiful... Amazing!
It was a vibrant world of colour. Neon lights and tall buildings, the hustle and bustle of multitudes of people around him. Cartoon characters he had never seen on bookstore windows, the sights and sounds were new and amazing.
... Even if he didn't understand a word they were saying
"Come along now, the hotel is this way." Vernon ordered, pointing to a direction.
The family, and Harry, walked through the city of Tokyo
Harry stayed close, but his eyes were looking around and taking in the sights, he was entranced by the beauty that was here.
This turned out to be the best week of his life!
Harry had eaten, drunk and read the Japanese culture. Over the week he began to appreciate it.
Plus he was freer than ever before
But now, the week was up. And he had to go back to England. He had bought a bag to carry back his souvenirs home.
He yawned, waking up the next morning... And he was alone
"U-Uncle...Uncle Vernon? Aunt Petunia?" Harry squeaked...looking around to see that his aunt, uncle and cousin were not there. They had all left without him.
He pulled his suitcase, looking for his family
He headed down to the reception area, hoping someone could tell him where they were. He was honestly worried, alone in a strange place, abandoned by his family, not fluent in the same language, even though he had bought a translation book.
... He was scared.
He was alone, on the streets of Japan. All he had was what was in the suit case. Sometimes some nice people would feed him, but most of the time he had to eat anything he could find in an alleyway as he refused to steal
Soon, he was scrawny again. Lying on the streets of Tokyo and scared...How long had it been? A week? A month? A year? The days blended together. Harry had lost track.
Tonight was raining. He was sitting on the floor, hugging himself to stay warm
He almost lost his luggage a while ago, he couldn't lose his last possessions. He was crying, the rain was covering his tears as it stained his tattered and dirty clothing...He was lost, hungry, alone and felt pathetic...and to add to that, whatever was causing his hair to grow back made it even longer, right past his shoulders. His glasses were broken, his sight was already bad enough, but now he could hardly see.
"Are you okay?" A Japanese man in a business suit asked, he spoke Japanese but after studying the language book so much and being around the people Harry had picked up a rough understanding of the language. He couldn't speak it yet, but he knew what the man was saying... More or less
Harry looked up with his sullen eyes, he almost looked like a skeleton at this point. His voice was hoarse but he tried to respond. He shook his head to mean "no".
"Goodness. You're nothing but bone." The man spoke aghast in Japanese, kneeling down to Harry and saw how thin he was. "Don't worry, you're safe." The man urged
*Time skip, years later*
Professor Albus Dumbledore frowned as he looked at a letter on his desk
Albus was an old man, he had a long silvery/white beard and hair, crescent moon glasses and wearing a dark maroon robe.
He sighed heavily, seeing the name on the letter.
Harry James Potter.
The problem?
This was his Hogwarts admission letter... And Harry should NOT have replied! At ALL! Albus saw to that!
He sent Harry to live with MUGGLES, learned nothing of the magical community...And yet. On this one single letter...He replied back to it!
The reply... Had been in JAPANESE of all languages! A simple translation spell had been cast on it, the letters words being readable now
"I am sorry, I do not remember applying for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Could a member of staff please meet up with me and explain the situation? Thank you!
Magical Girl Harry XXX
PS: I left a picture of me in this letter so you can identify me. I signed it so you can sell it after you are done and make some money, if you want!"
In the letter was a picture of a feminine looking boy with long black hair and green eyes wearing some large and fancy looking red framed glasses. The boys lips where oddly pink and a signature was on the photo in black
Dumbledore sighed and rubbed his forehead as the staff members he wished to take with him to meet with Harry walked into his office: Professor Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid and Professor Severus Snape
Professor McGonagall was an old witch, her hair was tied in a bun under a witch's pointed hat and wearing black robes that concealed her body respectively.
Rubeus Hagrid was a tall giant of a man, large in size with a great bushy beard and long brush-like hair. He wore numerous coats over his body and dark brown trousers.
Lastly, Severus Snape, a thin man with jet-black hair and like Professor McGonagall, he wore black robes that covered all of his body.
"Profess'r, what's going on?" Hagrid asked
"We are leaving to Japan." Dumbledore explained, showing them all the letter
"Potter's in Japan?" Snape asked, blinking
"What in heaven's name is he doing there?" Minerva asked
"That is what we need to find out." Dumbledore nodded "Let's go."
"Wha'? Now? But...But how?" Hagrid asked, thinking about his motorbike and apparation.
"We'll take the Floo Network." Albus answered
"Not sure if I'll fit in there." Hagrid admitted
"Just get in, you big fool." Snape answered, almost ordering him.
"Not sure if I'll fit in there." Hagrid admitted
"Just get in, you big fool." Snape answered, almost ordering him.
In several bursts of green flames the Wizards where and to the other side of the globe
*In Japan Around 10 PM*
Emerging on the other side of the world, Albus, Minerva, Snape and Hagrid had arrived in the Land of the Rising Sun, or more specifically: the Japanese Wizarding Government.
It was a large regal building, looking like a mix of the ancient temples of old and the glowing high-tech neon machines yet to come.
There were very few workers present and very guests, confusing the British Wizards as to why the place was so empty at 8AM
"Unbelievable, no-one's here." Professor Dumbledore huffed
They cast translation spells on themselves, Dumbledore providing Hagrid one, before they walked into what was essentially magical passport patrol
"Names please." The guard spoke examining the British Wizards.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." Albus answered
"Minerva McGonagall." Said professor responded
"Rebeus Hagrid."
"Severus Snape."
"Wands?" The wizard asked, being given the wands and examining them. Nodding he made notes and waved his hand a few times
"Why are there so few people here?" McGonagall asked
"... It is 10PM miss, most departments are on their night staff now." The guard deadpanned
"...It's TEN at NIGHT?" Severus glared and groaned
"Correct." The guard answered
The guard was now looking at the group as if they were crazy "You DO know what time zones are, do you not?"
"We're in a hurry." Professor Dumbledore answered. "We need to find someone who is here."
"Who?" The guard asked
"This child." Dumbledore said, showing the picture and quickly showing the letter
Seeing the picture and who the letter was from made stars appear in the guards eyes as he gasped "How much?!" He asked as he looked at the picture
"Err...I beg your pardon?" Hagrid asked, seeing the man act like this.
"How much do you want for the picture?" The guard answered. "Nononono, wait! I'll make you an offer! 100,000 yen!"
"A hundred thousand-?" Minerva blinked in shock
"Do you know WHERE this person is?" Albus inquired angrily.
"Of course." The man nodded, quickly giving directions
"Thank you. Keep the photograph." Albus sighed finally, shrugging off the photo.
The four walked off, hearing the man cheer and yell about 'Halli-Chan'
"Who's "Halli-Chan"? And how much is...a hundred thousand yen?" Hagrid asked innocently.
"Not important at the moment." Albus answered
The four left the ministry and walked through Tokyo, the city still busy and lively
"Alive and bustling." Minerva commented, seeing the city's movements
"We should keep moving. We need to find Harry." Dumbledore answered, leading the charge with the directions given by the guard.
They soon arrived at their destination... An outside concert?
"What on earth? What is all this?" Snape asked
"It's a concert. But, I've never seen these many people here." Minerva answered
There were many different people out there. Large, fat men with pimples and glasses holding signs and wearing pink bandannas, kids of around 10-12, just normal looking adults, parents and more.
Filling the air was a upbeat, almost 8 bit sounding song. And in the stage was a girl dressed in pink
She had mid-back long wavy hair with small stylish glasses. Wearing a pink tank top that shows off her stomach with large poofy sleeves, a pink and black frilled mid-thigh skirt, white thigh-high socks and pink heeled platform shoes. A cute small pink witch hat. And black upper -arm length gloves. A small ass length white cape and a pink wand microphone.
"What the-?" Hagrid rubbed his eyes, not believing what he's seeing.
"Is that..." McGonagall blinked
"Harry Potter?" Dumbledore said in shock
Snape was in complete shock...He honestly didn't know what to feel. Laughter or just stunned silence.
And soon, the girl had begun to sing, getting the crowd roused for the entertainment.
"I gotta believe!" The girl sang, the music picking up as everyone cheered. The girl held her hand in the air, the lights shining over her and illuminating her as she tapped her pink pumped shoe on the ground in tune with the beat
"I don't wanna know, the same truth again." She sang, holding her pink 'wand' as held her hand out to the side like she was dismissing something
"I don't wanna know, I'm better off not knowing." She was shaking her head from side to side now, her hair bobbing with her head movement
"Why? Why? Why? Why?
I realised I came too far!" Now the music became more powerful, the girl kicking her legs lightly as she basically jumped on the spot. It was weird to describe but it was like she fluted off the ground, her legs looking like they were propelling a bicycle before she landed. As she landed she stood tall, her head held back as she thrust an arm forward as if reaching out for someone
"I can't stop feeling the premonition of
The new beginning!" She sang, her head banging to the left and right a few times as if denying the truth
"I am cutting through an unknown territory." She sang, lowering herself and holding her head
"I gotta believe!" She now jumped up, pumping her fist in the air
"I gotta Believe!" She then took a moment to speak, calling into the microphone "Sing Along everyone! Turn it on!" She now pointed her 'wand' at the crowed, the fans joining the song
"Excited! I'm extremely Excited! Raise up the beat!" The crowd sang loudly
"That's it!" The girl cheered, joining back in "EXCITE! EXCITE! My heart is
Guiding me to that place! Dashing through!" She sang, jumping in time with the beat, her face a wide joy filled grin
"HEY!" the crowd sang loudly
"I'm on a mission right now." The girl sang
"HEY!" the crowed repeated
"I'm on a mission right now!" The girl sang once more, her body swaying and folding with the music
"EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is..."
"ONE!" the crowed called
"In this hand..." The girl smiled, slowly closing her left hand
"TWO!" the crowed called, holding up two fingers
"... Is a life that must continue..." The girl continued like she wasn't even interrupted
"THREE!" The crowed finished their counting
"Live to the max!" The girl smirked, flashing her right arm across her body and holding it palm up in the left side of her chest like she was about to get a high five. For a second the Hogwarts staff thought the song was over but...
"You don't wanna know; how far I'll pursue my dreams." The girl sang passionately, both hands now holding her 'wand'
"You don't wanna know how many times I'm injured." Once again she feels to her knees, head lowered like she was in pain
"Why? Why? Why? Why?" She sang again, the crowed clapping to the beat
"I realize no one's around." She sang gently, looking around... Before she suddenly jumped to her feet and span 360 degrees, not even looking off balanced as she pointed at the crowed
"God has given us a single trial." She sang passionately, holding up one finger before she threw her hand into the air like she was throwing something away
"Hey! What's the purpose?!" She sang loudly and almost like she was questioning said god, looking to the sky
"Follow me as we cross this vivid realm." She said gentler again as she lowered her arm, clearly having trouble keeping her breath as she sang but it wasn't too much trouble
"I gotta believe!" She sang again, the musicians behind her repeating it a few times and giving her the chance to catch her breath
"Thank you all for coming tonight!" She called quickly as the music continued to build "I am glad you all like my tribute show! Let's hope the next series that starts this week is just as good! Sing along!"
"Turn in on!" The crowd sang once more, the girl joining in as she began to jump up and down again in time with the beat
"EXCITED! I'm extremely excited! Raise up the beat!" The girl sang happily, her legs kicking left and right as she span on the spot. Again, it was hard for a normal person to explain but it she basically flicked her leg as she span on the spot with her balance being inhuman
"EXCITE! EXCITE!" The crowd sang loudly
"My heart is" the girl sang as she came to a stop and put a hand to her chest
"Guiding me to that place! Dashing though!
I'm on a mission right now!"
"HEY!"
"I'm in a mission right now!"
"HEY!"
It was just like before, the crowed yelling 'hey' back to her, the girl clearly smiling as she stood still, her arm reaching forward slowly "EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is..."
"ONE!" the crowd cheered, everyone VERY pumped up now
"... In this hand..." the star continued
"TWO!"
"... The never ending game." She sang, now pointing to the crowed and winking
"Enjoy it to the max!" The music now became softer, the lights turning down low and the crowed listening intensely
"From zero to one; from the beginning to the end of space," the singer sang, shadows hiding her eyes
"The light that I lot here is shining brightly." She now looked up, some light shining off her glasses as smoke shot into the sky
"Yeah! No one can stop me!" She sang, her knees lowering into a crouch as she held her body close like she was about to spring up
"No one can stop me now!" And spring she did, jumping up and cheering with the crowed as the music got more upbeat once more
"I'm extremely excited! Raise up the beat!"
"EXCITE! EXCITE!" the crowd sang
"My heart is
Guiding me to that place!" The girl sang, her eyes shining with passion "Dashing through!"
"HEY!" The crowd cheered
"I'm on a mission right now!" The sing smiled while reaching down and running her fingers over the fingers of her closest fans, clearly happy to have them
"HEY!" they called again
"I'm on a mission right now!" The girl sang once more, as expected, the song near its end as she stood up and nodded with the music
"EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is...
EXCITE! EXCITE! The answer is..." The girl repeated, the music nearing the end
"ONE!" The crowd sang for the last time
"... In this hand..." She continued, reaching out for the crowed slowly
"TWO!" They counted
"... Is a life that must continue..." She continued, slowly closing her hand
"THREE!" the crowed finished
"... Live it to the Max." She smiled as the music ended, her hand in a fist... And the crowd went wild
The Hogwarts professors and Hagrid blinked in shock, they couldn't believe that THIS was Harry Potter! Singing, dancing, stirring a crowd...It was incomprehensible to them. The Child Who Lived, was a star in the Muggle World.
"Thank you everyone, I'm sorry but that's the end of tonight's show!" Harry called to the crowed, the assembled fans clearly sad "Now now, don't be upset! This show may be over but a new one starts this Saturday, it looks really good! Thanks to Toei and Ishinomori Productions for allowing me to perform covers of their shows! Halli will see you all in her next performance! Until then I cleared this show..."
"With no continues!" The crowd cheered, clearly quoting the show that Harry had been singing songs from
"Bye bye!" Harry waved and giggled very girly as he ran off stage
"This way." Albus ordered, going to the stage's backstage.
"...I can't believe that's Harry..." Hagrid whispered, remembering him as a little baby.
"A show-off, just like his father." Snape whispered, the group casting spells so they would not be seen
They slipped past the droves of people, heading to the backstage, seeing Harry drinking water from a bottle, with a towel dabbing on his forehead while going to a room with a star and Japanese lettering on it.
He waved, speaking in Japanese to several people and waving before going into the room
The teachers looked in shock, seeing Harry speak fluent Japanese. How much had he learnt over his time in Japan?
They walked over and pushed the door open, entering calmly
Inside the room, Harry was resting and was now in a dressing gown with her dress on a coat hanger.
He was walking around calmly, smiling and humming as he was looking at his cloths
There were multiple trousers and shirts and even some accessories that could go with both his costume and for casual wear.
But all the clothes where clearly girly
Hagrid couldn't understand this...he was really confused and called out Harry's name, grabbing his attention.
"Harry?" He called
"Huh?" Harry blinked, tuning to look at them... And screaming, running behind a changing curtain "Do you NOT know it is rude to enter a woman's room without knocking you dummies! Baka's! Baka's! Hentai! Hentai! Baka Hentai's!"
"Baka...What? Harry, wait, hang on. We're not-" Hagrid tried to answer
"I'm guessing you're the English wizard?" Harry grumbled
"Well...British, yeah." Hagrid answered, still confused at the language.
"Mr. Potter." Professor McGonagall spoke, coming from behind Hagrid.
"Please, call me Halli-Chan Sensei." Harry said simply
""Halli"?" Professor McGonagall asked in confusion
"Yes." She nodded
She soon walked out, dressed up properly
Halli was dressed in a light blue shirt and trousers; he actually looked kind of cute.
"I'm sorry but I have other stuff to do. Need to talk about a voice acting cameo, a theme song for a new show and talk to my manager." She explained "You caught me at a bad time. Mind explaining what's going on while we go around town and I do what I need to?"
'Rude upstart. JUST, like his father.' Severus thought to himself in anger
"You responded to a letter you received some days ago. To "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"." Albus began to explain
"I know, I did not apply for your school. It's why I asked you to do down here... I'm sorry, you have not given me your names." Halli blinked, interrupting and walking out of the room
"I-I'm Hagrid." Said Giant answered sadly.
"Professor McGonagall." Minerva answered respectfully
"Professor Dumbledore." Said teacher answered in a concealed anger
"Professor Snape." He had a bit more noticeable tone to his.
"Okay. Nice to meet you." Halli bowed "As I was saying, Dumbledore-sensei, I did not apply for your school so I am confused. Thank you Kazu-San." Halli smiled at a man who opened the door for her and her 'guest', Halli getting into the car when the man nodded
"Wait, where are you going?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I have to get to the studio to record my lines, remember McGonagall-Sensei?" Halli blinked "Get in, we are... I believe the term is 'walking and talking'?"
The professors and Hagrid looked at each other before they got in.
"I don't think I'd fit." Hagrid answered honestly
"It's magic, don't worry." Halli smiled
"Oh! Well...A'right." Hagrid answered, squeezing in and found himself in a copious sized interior of a car.
"Here we go." Halli smiled.
The car drove off, the professor's shocked Harry knew about magic
"How did you manage this?" Professor McGonagall asked as she saw Halli's hand go over to the side and bring out a tea-set
"I bought it." Halli shrugged "Well, my Papa did. Before he passed away last year. Taught me everything I needed though!"
'Papa? But...James and Lily died over a decade ago!' Snape thought
"Which "Father" are you talking about?" Albus inquired.
"My adopted Father. Yazama Shino." Halli said sadly
''Yazama Shino'?' Hagrid thought confused as he heard that.
"As a wizard he taught you magic, but why all this?" Albus asked. "Who was he?"
"Papa didn't teach me magic." She blinked "He helped me become an Idol, because I wanted to be one."
"An "Idol"?!" Snape snapped.
"You're self-taught?" Minerva added
"No, I learnt in the Magic District." She tilted her head "And an Idol is basically a singer and actress, normally a girl."
"But...aren't...aren't you a BOY? How'd that happen?" Hagrid asked, almost spluttering his tea that he was given.
"I... Haven't been a boy for years." Halli blushed
"You haven't?" Minerva asked
"No, I haven't." Halli repeated "Since I was... Ten, I think?" She blinked "It's not past midnight yet so it isn't my birthday..." She evidently gave up there and shrugged
"Where do you live?" Snape asked, getting impatient.
"Oh, in an apartment in Shibuya." Halli nodded as the limo came to a stop "Here we are!" Halli smiled, quickly getting out... And as the teachers followed her out they saw that they were not at what would be called an apartment building but some sort of business building "They're with me." Halli explained, signing some papers and pointing at the teachers to which security nodded "Come on you guys! I need to get to recording!" She huffed
The teachers looked on and followed, Minerva and Hagrid couldn't believe what they were seeing. Harry...Halli was such a star in the Muggle world.
"Come on!" She pouted cutely
The teachers followed, keeping with Hallie...By god, they were still confused at all this.
"Aren't you supposed to be telling me stuff?" Halli frowned "Like why I have been 'accepted'?"
"Yes, well. You were...ARE a member of the British Wizarding School "Hogwarts". It's customary for children to go to school there, to learn how to use their magic." Professor McGonagall answered
"I know that." Halli nodded "But as I said, I never applied."
"It was actually your parents who applied for you. They did it when you were born." Minerva answered
"My... parents?" Halli blinked
"Your mother and father. Lily and James Potter." Hagrid answered. "They applied you to come to Hogwarts."
"... I see..." Halli whispered as they neared a Japanese man in a business suit "Oh! Director-San! Sorry if I am late!"
"It is okay Halli-Chan, are you ready for your performance?" he smiled
"Yes I am, sir." Halli responded
"Ah, I see you've brought visitors." the director spoke kindly, seeing the Hogwarts professors.
"Yep, they are visitors from England!" Halli nodded "They are here to watch!" she nodded, going into a sound booth with a microphone and a stand with a lyric sheet. And finally in front of him was a large TV screen
"What's this?" Hagrid whispered in confusion, not knowing what a TV was.
"It looks like a large window." Snape commented...
Suddenly the TV screen turned on, revealing a cartoon playing
The teachers were taken aback to see the cartoon appear on screen, showing a female character holding some form of staff.
"Please! Please help me!" Halli said into the microphone, headphones on her head
"Stop stop." the director said, the cartoon pausing as he pressed two buttons "Nicely done Halli, but you spoke too slowly. It won't match. Try to sound more panicked, speed up your voice a bit. Okay?"
"Okay!" Halli smiled, giving the classic 'O' shaped finger movement that symbolized 'Okay'
"Very well, let's start from the top." the director nodded, the cartoon starting again
The teachers continued to watch Halli and the cartoon almost simultaneously. They could see Halli trying her best giving a voice to this fictional character...and she was doing as well as she could.
"That's the first scene, real good Halli." the director nodded about half an hour later, Halli having done two dozen lines at this point which was clearly all exposition to the main characters "We got one more scene, only three lines here."
"Thank you Director-San!" Halli nodded with a smile, the TV cutting to a sunset scene "Oh wow! You did it! Thank you, thank you for saving my Ryo-Kun!"
Minerva and Hagrid couldn't believe how talented Halli was, she was immersed in the role.
Snape couldn't help staring at Halli...how she reminded him of Lily.
Albus was still fuming at this point, still sticking to his resolve
They should not have been here for so long! And Potter should not be like this!
"That's perfect Halli, thank you." The director smiled as the recording session was finished
"Not a problem, Director-San." Halli bowed and left the voice actor box. "Sorry for making you wait; did you enjoy the show?"
"Very good." Hagrid clapped
"It was something I hadn't seen before." Minerva answered
"...Very well played." Snape added
"Thank you." Halli blushed "I am only doing cameo work right now but I'm hoping, in a year or two, to start doing proper voice acting roles. As well as some live action stuff. I'm already in talks with Toei!"
"Toe-ay?" Hagrid asked, scratching his bushy head. "What's that then?"
"A TV company who does a lot anime." She explained "But it's normal for idols like me to use Tokusatsu to get their jump into live action! Oooooh, I'm so excited!" She giggled at the end before she looked at the clock "Oh no! I'm late!" She gasped before she took off running "Thank you director-san!"
"Welcome Halli-Chan." The director waved, the teachers following Halli
"What is wrong with you child?" Snape frowned
"It is nearly midnight! I'm supposed to be at a store for the release of my new album for signing!" She explained, the group nearing the limo again "So what do I need for Hogwarts?" She asked, the group getting into the car with the teachers blinking at her
The teachers blinked in shock...They couldn't believe how successful Harry Potter had become without magic...without Hogwarts.
"Stupid traffic!" Halli growled as she pulled out the heart shaped microphone/pretend wand she used at her stage performance... And waved it "Oh Great Witch of sea and sky, grant us speed make us fly." She chanted, pink sparkles falling from her wand before she pointed the tip at floor of the limo... And a small pink magic beam shot from it and hit the limo floor...
And the limo took off, flying
"Wha...?" The teachers looked on and couldn't believe that Halli was allowed to do this...in Britain, she'd be penalized for this!
"Don't worry, the limo is magic. So magicless can't see it when it does something outbid the normal." Halli explained, seeing the teachers shocked looks... And they were also shocked because Harry knew magic!
""Magicless"? Is that what you call "Muggles"?" Albus asked
"That is what Nihon calls them, yes." She nodded
"Nihon?" Snape asked
'For goodness sake.' Albus sighed and was getting annoyed
"Oh." The teachers responded
"Are we anywhere near this store of yours?" Hagrid asked
"Nearly." She nodded "So... Can you tell me about the school?" She asked happily
'About time.' Albus sighed and sat up. "It's the best school in Britain, founded by the four greatest wizards and witches of their age." Albus began
"I know that." She huffed, showing a slight attitude "Everyone has heard about Hogwarts. I mean the important stuff."
"There's Transfiguration classes, potions, charms, history of magic." Minerva began to list off.
"Magical creatures 'n all." Hagrid interjected
"And Defence Against the Dark Arts." Snape finished
"Do you teach that sir?" Halli asked Snape "You look like you've beaten up a lot of dark Wizards!"
Snape was taken back...The child of James Potter...complimenting him on this. Assuming that he was in the position he asked for, for years. "I-" Snape began to answer before they landed.
"No Professor Snape is the Potions Professor." Dumbledore interrupted with a frown
"Really?" Halli blinked "It looks like he has naturally greasy hair. Being stuck in a potions lab for hours on end will not do that good. You know, we have special shampoo for that here. You should get some bottles for when you go home Snape-Sensei. Sorry if I am coming across as rude however." She explained, blushing at the end as she realised how what she said could be taken
"'Sensei'?" Snape asked and rubbed his head gently thinking about that shampoo.
"It means "teacher"." Halli answered
"Back on track." Dumbledore said in a forced cheerful voice "Class starts the first weeknight September."
"September? That's not very far away." Halli answered
"It's when school starts in Britain." McGonagall explained
Halli frowned...She'd have to leave Japan...leave her home.
She would miss making people happy
"What do you say? You'll make friends, learn more magic." Hagrid added
"Sure." She gently shrugged
Albus forced a smile "Excellent. Hagrid here can help you with your school supplies."
As he said that the limo landed outside the store
"Okay, but I've got to do this first." Halli answered
The teachers followed her out, entering the store with her... And seeing HOW MANY people filled the store and flowed out behind it waiting for her!
"Hello!" Halli called out, waving to her fans, to which they responded with a thunderous applause.
"Incredible." McGonagall blinked
"Merlin's beard..." Hagrid whispered
"Don't forget Hagrid...YOU'RE to help with her school supplies." Dumbledore answered
They followed her, seeing her sit at a table with a lot of CD boxes and merchandise "I'm sorry for keeping you all everyone!" Halli called sadly "But we are ready to start!"
The people responded happily and began to wait in line for their signed CDs and merchandise.
Time continued to tick on, Halli was signing her name and taking pictures with fans. It was exhausting...but she seemed to enjoy herself.
It was 2AM by the time she was finished
Hagrid was asleep at this point, while the teachers were still awake.
"That was the last one." Halli yawned
"It is rather late, young lady." McGonagall commented
"Yeah...it is." Halli agreed. "Just a normal day... Well every other day." She mumbled
"This happens every other day?" Snape asked
"Yes Snape-Sensei." Halli answered "Being an Idol is a lot of work."
"How d'ya manage?" Hagrid asked
"I like seeing everyone happy." She smiled... Before she suddenly passed out, several Japanese men in suits running over in worry
"Quick, get her inside, get a medic." One man spoke, another immediately calling someone.
The other Japanese men quickly and cautiously got Halli up and lead her inside, the fans long gone, which was good. Seeing their number one idol pass out would be cause for concern.
"What happened?" Snape asked
"Halli exhausted herself. She does this occasionally." One of the men explained
"She pushes herself THAT much?" McGonagall asked
"She wants her fans to be happy." Another man nodded "So she pushes herself to her limit to give everyone smiles."
Snape and McGonagall looked at each other and frowned...Halli did so much for so many.
"Well she won't be for much longer." Dumbledore shrugged
"I beg your pardon? Is that a threat?" One man spoke
"What do you mean?" A second added
The entire crowd was soon in an uproar
"Oh dear, we've got to get her to the hospital." The first man spoke
"We've got an ambulance on the way." The second man answered "ETA two minutes."
"Doesn't she just need sleep?" Snape asked
"More than just sleep. She's been going for three days straight." A man answered seriously
"But... But she said days like today where ever few days! Doesn't she get any rest?!" Hagrid gasped
"I see you four do not understand the Idol Industry." A slightly older Japanese man, in his 50's, walked over with a smile "Halli told me you may be here today. Follow me, we can talk." The man said, moving his wrist in a way that the four saw his wand for a second to show he was magical
"Very well." Albus answered as he followed the 50-year-old wizard with the teachers following behind him
They soon reached an office, the Japanese man sitting behind the desk
"Who are you? And what stake do you have with Harry Potter?" Albus asked in a demanding tone though not so much that he aroused suspicion.
"Harry Potter?" The man raised an eyebrow before he shook his head "My name is Hojo Shoichi and I am Halli's manager... Her third one, but I am her current manager."
"Her third one? What happened with the other two?" Hagrid asked
"Hagrid!" Albus quietly snapped
"No no, that's a valid question." Shoichi nodded "Halli only likes having a manager for a few years, as she does not want her managers to be 'stuck' with her and limit their possibilities because they have to be focused on her."
"So Halli and the managers part on mutual terms?" Minerva asked
"That's right. She's always been that sort of person." Shoichi answered with a kind smile
"Now Halli works hard. Her normal days include: waking up at around 8:30AM. Write songs or going to a meeting, both of which can last up to three hours. Then she is either off to record a song, to practice her dancing or going to shoot a music video depending on what stage in development it is. Halli is very determined and wants every last one of her songs to have a music video. That can take nearly the entire day sometimes. And then sometimes she has live performances to go to. Or she is on a TV talk show. Or she is talking to costume designers. Or talking with other Idols and bands. Or she is doing a press tour. Or she is doing a cameo in an animated or a live action show, sometimes using her songs. Or she is signing stuff for her fans. And on her 'days off'? Writing songs."
Snape was doing the calculations in his head...and honestly, he was stunned at the level of strength and endurance Halli was going through just to put out this level of content.
"Halli was preparing to have a week off, as everyone connected to her was urging her to do... So she buckled down and did most of that in three days straight so she did not feel guilty about her fans having to wait." Shoichi sighed
"Ruddy hell..." Hagrid gasped as he slumped into a chair...which amazingly took his weight.
"That girl." Minerva whispered
"Exactly. She's a wonder." Shoichi answered. "So may I ask YOU a question?"
"Of course." Albus responded, getting impatient.
"What brings YOU here to ask about my client?" Halli's manager asked
"She is coming to our school." Snape informed
"Your school? Oh, like "Mahoutokoro School of Magic"." Shoichi answered
"Is that your version of Hogwarts?" Hagrid asked innocently.
"I believe so." The man laughed gently "Mahoutokoro is a school that any Nihon citizen can go to and learn any spell or subject they want, as long as they have the needed previous knowledge."
"And is that where Halli learned her magic?" Snape asked
"That and from other magicians." he nodded
The teachers looked at each other and understood.
"How did Harry become Halli?" Dumbledore asked brazenly
"Professor Dumbledore." Minerva responded
"Your "Halli" was born a boy. "Harry Potter". How did he become a girl?" Dumbledore responded
"I see." the manager nodded "Well, that happened when she was younger."
"What did she do?" Albus asked
"That's not for me to say." He answered. "She told me when I became her manager, but I promised her that I wouldn't tell another soul."
Albus frowned at that, angry at having his answers denied
"If you want that specific answer, you'll have to ask Halli-Chan." Shoichi answered
"We should go." Dumbledore ordered "You stay Hagrid."
"Um...Y-Yes Professor." Hagrid answered, sitting in the chair as the remaining teachers left.
"Mr. Hagrid, would you care for some tea?" Mr Shoichi asked kindly
"Please." he nodded
*with the three teachers*
The group of three teachers returned to the Japanese Ministry, ready to head back to England
"I cannot believe that Harry Potter has been living here for most of his life." Snape whispered
"Exactly, Severus...But I thought he was with his Aunt and Uncle...That's where Albus and I relocated him." Minerva answered, confused.
"So did I." he frowned
"Professor Dumbledore...did...did we make a mistake, leaving him there with those horrid muggles?" Minerva asked sadly
"Of course not!" Dumbledore argued "Whatever happened here, is the mistake. Snatching Harry from his home and family and working him to death."
"Not according to her manager...It seems that she WANTS to make people happy." Snape answered
Albus, however, seemed to ignore him as they entered the floo network
