The last few years had not been good for Albus Dumbledore.
It had started off wonderfully. Just under 13 years ago his great plan was set into motion. Voldemort attacked the Potters just as Dumbledore planned when he convinced Severus to give Voldemort a portion of the prophecy. Unfortunately Lily and James survived since Voldemort merely stunned them, however Dumbledore still convinced them to do as he wished, for the Greater Good of course. Jack Potter, the younger twin, was marked with a V-shaped scar on his forehead, making him the chosen one. He would be kept in the Wizarding world as a symbol of the light for when Voldemort returned. Harry, the eldest twin, would be sent to the magic-hating Dursleys, who would surely abuse him, with a note stating his parents were dead. Starved of affection, believing his family dead, Harry would make the perfect tool when he was brought back into his family upon entering Hogwarts. Dumbledore did however have to place several magic blocks, as well as a vision impairment curse upon Harry that would activate sometime between ages 7 and 8 – he couldn't have his tool becoming more powerful than the chosen one or, preposterous as it is, Dumbledore himself – but besides that everything was wonderful.
Things stayed wonderful for several years. The Potters made a fortune off of Jack's fame, a large amount of which was given to Dumbledore. Jack himself proved quite easy to control. Merely give him a few gifts, massage his ego, and he would do anything. Not that Dumbledore made him do anything yet, but it was good for the future. Dumbledore even convinced the Wizengamot to give the Pureblood Death Eaters a second chance to see the Light. To top it all off Dumbledore managed to discreetly push through some laws that heavily restricted many non-human species. However this wonderful period all came to an end just over three years ago.
Three years ago Harry Potter was supposed to re-enter the Wizarding world, enter Hogwarts with his brother, and be the good little soldier who did everything his parents and Dumbledore asked. Jack Potter was supposed to enter Hogwarts and excel in all his classes, showing that the chosen one was a force to be reckoned with. Neither of these things happened.
When the Hogwarts letter addressed to Harry Potter was sent, the owl flew around Hogwarts once, then returned to the headmaster. This only ever happens when the recipient doesn't exist or is dead. Upon visiting the Dursley house, he found it in a state of utter disrepair, with not a soul inside. Upon question the neighbors, they claimed the Dursleys had mysteriously left without saying a word 7 years ago and never returned. Since no one had actually seen them leave, some believe something rather sinister occurred, and believe the house is now either haunted or cursed. Dumbledore immediately disproved both of these notions after a quick scan of the house. He tried asking his spy in the area, Mrs. Figg, what had happened and why he wasn't told, only to find she had died in a car crash 8 years ago. Dumbledore was so caught up taking advantage of Jack's fame and controlling the Wizengamot that he never noticed that he stopped hearing from her. At the end of the day Dumbledore accepted that Harry was gone, and most certainly dead. The only upside to this was that James and Lily didn't care in the slightest, having grown used to just one son. Jack didn't even know Harry ever existed, being to young to remember him before Harry was sent away.
Speaking of Jack, he appeared to have no magical talent whatsoever, and was seemingly very weak magically. The highest grade he had achieved was an A for Acceptable in Herbology, a subject so lacking in use of magic that a Muggle could do well in it. Dumbledore could only assume that Jack was embarrassed about his strength, and did badly in order to not show off. After all, Jack was the chosen one, he couldn't possibly be weak magically.
Things did not improve in the following years. Despite using the Sorcerers stone as bait, Dumbledore failed to lure Voldemort to Hogwarts. On top of that, despite knowing that Voldemort was using horcruxes, not a single one had been found by Dumbledore. Then there was the fact that Jack still hadn't shown his true magical power, which lead to Dumbledore having to pull a few strings in the school board just to let him pass each year. The most troubling thing, however, was rumors of a powerful Wizard in Japan. A Wizard that supposedly had power which far surpassed his own. This was a major problem. Only Dumbledore was capable of properly wielding that kind of power, so this person needed to be put down. However there was a problem with this. Dumbledore had made it quite clear several years ago that much of the magic Japan practiced was dark. He had attempted to bring them to the light, however they were instead greatly insulted, and chose to cut off all ties with him and magical Britain. Due to this, Dumbledore has no spies in Japan, and was unable to even get this wizards name. Killing him wasn't possible in the slightest unless Dumbledore himself went to Japan, which he couldn't do since he was busy with other duties. So he was stuck, and could merely hope that the rumors were greatly exaggerated.
That all leads us to now, October 31st, mere minutes before the Triwizard Champions would be chosen. Dumbledore knew that Voldemort planned on using Jack to return this year, and Dumbledore could only hope that Jack stopped holding back. As he looked over at his Deputy headmistress however, his mind became occupied with his newest annoyance. Namely the 5-year old kitsune sitting on her lap.
It appears that while on summer vacation, Minerva Mcgonagall found the child while visiting a relative who had moved to Japan. She had just had quite the argument with said relative, and apparently looked rather angry. Seeing this, the young kitsune ran up to her and wrapped her legs in a hug. While surprised at first, she soon picked him up and asked where his parents were. Turns out however, the child never knew his parents. He didn't even have a name, as the old man who occasionally took care of him merely called him "kit." This old man also apparently told him that hugs make everyone happy. Upon hearing all of this, she spoke to the old man and arranged for the child, who she named Ashter, to come with her to Hogwarts so he could have a proper home. This is a decision that irritated Dumbledore to no end. The boy was a creature! A kitsune of all things, a race known for using soul magic and senjutsu, two incredibly dark forms of magic! He should have been killed immediately upon discovery, he wasn't even worthy of stepping foot in Hogwarts or even being near a leader of the light such as Dumbledore!
And yet, the rest of the castle residents seemed to disagree with him. This is partially because of how cute he seems. Sun-kissed blonde hair that fell to the base of his head, blue eyes full of innocence, two yellow fox ears with white tips that were constantly twitching, nine fluffy tails the same color as his ears that were constantly moving, and a large yellow robe because "black's no fun," according to Ashter. His mannerisms also helped sway the students and teachers, as he always gave everyone hugs, and had no qualms about letting people pet his ears and tails. Even Severus and his Slytherins like the child, and they don't like anyone! The only ones who actually saw reason were the Potters, who were working as the Arithmacy professor (Lily) and the DADA assistant (James)*. The brat even had quarters in every house for Merlin's sake, despite his official room being next to Mcgonagall's. This all made it nearly impossible to dispose of the brat.
As Dumbledore looked at the Goblet of Fire however, he realized the time for counting his many problems had passed, as the time for champions to be chosen had come. He made his way down from the staff table to the flaming goblet.
"SILENCE!" He shouted, "The time for champions to be chosen has come! Once chosen the champions will enter the trophy room behind me," he stated while pointing at the door.
Not a soul spoke or moved as the blue flames turned red, and spat out a roughly folded piece of parchment.
"The champion for Durmstrang is… VICTOR KRUM!"
The hall erupted into cheers as Krum confidently made his way forward and into the trophy room, though none were quite as loud as Ronald Weasley, who might've driven his neighbors deaf with his cheering.
Once the hall quieted down, the goblet spat out another parchment, this one looking more delicate and somewhat resembling a snowflake.
"The champion for Beauxbatons is… FLEUR DELACOUR!"
The applause for Fleur was noticeably forced from the Beauxbatons students, however the males of Hogwarts more than made up for it. Especially Ron Weasley again. Damn that kid had some lungs.
As the students went silent for the choosing of the (supposedly) final champion, the goblet spit out one burnt piece of standard parchment.
"The champion for Hogwarts is… CEDRIC DIGGORY!"
The response for Cedric was… lukewarm to say the least. Hufflepuff students cheered their hardest, but most only clapped politely. For once, Ronald was silent. As Dumbledore opened his mouth to declare the official start of the Triwizard Tournament however, the goblet spat out another piece of parchment.
'Right on time,' the old headmaster thought. As he grabbed the parchment, he quietly read the name.
"Jack Potter."
The entire hall was silent. Jack initially looked surprised, though he quickly gained a smirk and walked to the trophy room, followed by his parents. As Dumbledore moved to join them however, something unexpected happened. The goblet acted up again, only this time the flames were black and white, as if they were made of pure light and darkness.
'What's going on?' Dumbledore thought to himself, "this isn't supposed to happen. The goblet shouldn't even be able to make flames like that.'
Despite his beliefs however, the goblet spat out one final piece of parchment, different from all the rest. As Dumbledore caught it and read it, his face lost all color, and his mouth opened in shock. Without saying a word, he swept into the trophy room, closely followed by Madam Maxime and Igor Karkaroff.
"Before anyone starts complaining we have to resolve a major problem," he stated to the rooms occupants.
"You mean the fact that you somehow have two champions?!" Igor angrily stated.
"No Igor I am referring to the fact that the Goblet has somehow chosen someone who has long been thought dead," Dumbledore said calmly but coldly.
"What on earth are you talking about Dumblydore?" Madam Maxime questioned.
In response, the old headmaster merely held up the black-as-night parchment so that all could read it.
There, written in blinding white flames, was a name that no one expected. A name that should have been impossible.
Harry Kishou (form. Potter)
In Japan
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!"
At 3 am, Harry Kishou suddenly woke up to unbearable pain. He couldn't think, he couldn't move, he couldn't even tell where he was. All he was aware of was feeling as though he was being torn apart from the inside. Yamori's torture was nothing compared to this.
All around him, his lovers stared at him in worry. The celebration earlier had been wonderful, although a few politicians had soured it a bit. Apparently the A-class Ghoul know as Gourmet was part of a politically powerful family with several allies. Now those same allies were trying to have Arima charged with murder of a human. Since the body was eaten and the bones used for a stock, there wasn't any biological proof that Tsukiyama (the Gourmet) was a Ghoul. Luckily Arima had enough political allies to stop them, for now anyway. But that didn't matter now. What mattered was the fact that their lover was screaming bloody murder while appearing to be in an extreme amount of pain.
"B-Baka, s-stop it! Whatever's happening can't be worse than what you've already felt. So wake up Harry! HARRY!" Touka screamed frantically.
As this occurred Arima burst into the room, having heard the screaming from down the hall. As he came in the door however, all screaming stopped. The pain had vanished, just as quickly and mysteriously as it had come. All was silent, until Arima spoke.
"Would someone care to explain what just happened?" He asked in a quiet voice.
Surprisingly, it was shy little Hinami who spoke up. "We were all sleeping when Harry started screaming. He wouldn't respond to anything we said, and he just stopped when you came in."
Suddenly, Harry came out of the daze the pain left him in. He felt strange though. Almost as if he was exhausted while also having more energy than ever before. He decided to speak up to stop the others from worrying.
"I'm fine," he said as he sat up and looked at his father."I couldn't think or react to anything because of the pain, but now that it's gone I feel fine."
Arima looked over his son with a careful eye, taking note of everything. Truly, Harry did look fine, if a bit tired, and somewhat flustered since Eto's hand had drifted to his crotch, however the fact remained that Harry had just woken up screaming in pain so therefore certain procedures needed to be followed.
"While you might feel fine Harry, the fact is that you just woke up in unbearable pain. You know we need to have a CCG doctor look at you to make sure."
Harry sighed. After all the injuries he had received and fights he had gotten into, he had become quite familiar with the doctors of CCG. He didn't like them. Make no mistake, they were quite kind and very gentle with all medical procedures, however they generally prescribed bed rest for Harry. Something that is very difficult when Harry can only drink coffee and he hates decaf. Nonetheless, he needed to figure out what happened, and the doctors were his best bet. Suddenly, Eto spoke up.
"But Arima-kun, can't it wait till morning? That way we girls can make sure Harry-kun feels better after his ordeal?" She said with a grin while tightening her grip on Harry's crotch.
Hearing this, Nashiro and Kurona smirked slightly while Touka and Hinami blushed scarlet. Harry meanwhile didn't even react besides a slight blush. He had grown used to Eto's antics after 4 years. Arima merely raised an eyebrow in slight amusement.
"As much as I'm sure Harry would enjoy that, we really need to get this checked out as soon as possible. Sorry Eto, you'll have do that when he gets back,"
Eto pouted at this, but released her husband to find what had happened. Harry slipped out of bed, ready for several hours of testing. None of which he would enjoy.
One hour later
Harry and his father were patiently waiting in the doctors office for the blood test to come back. After it had been drawn into a small black vial the doctor had taken one look at it and rushed off to have it tested. A nearby nurse had asked them to wait for the results.
As Harry glanced at his father, he thought of just how rarely he spent any time with him due to Arima being busy with work as head of the CCG. Granted it isn't nearly as bad as when Arima first took over. Back then there was a massive fuss over Arima killing the former head because of a few politicians and the CCG chairman. Thankfully the body hadn't been eaten so a customary autopsy was performed which showed the head was a Ghoul. This shut up the politicians pretty quickly, although the chairman continued until he saw the changes Arima made. Now he's one of Arima's biggest supporters, and the main reason why he hasn't been charged for Tsukiyama's murder. Now Arima wasn't quite as busy as before, however Harry still only saw him outside of work roughly once a week.
Just as Harry was about to start a conversation with his father, the doctor came in holding a black vial and wearing a troubled expression on his face.
"Gentlemen I am sorry to tell you this, however something rather unprecedented has occurred with young Harry, and in all honesty neither me nor my colleagues know what to do," he immediately said in a cautious voice.
Arima narrowed his eyes at the doctor. "Unprecedented generally means bad in our profession. What exactly has happened to my son?"
"It's not exactly bad, just rather unprecedented. You see… well… perhaps it's best if you see it for yourself. This is the blood we took from young Harry today," he said as he opened the vial and showed the contents to father and son.
Said contents were quite surprising. Instead of the ruby red liquid they were expecting, the two were nearly blinded by the shining white liquid within. It was as if someone had liquified light itself. It certainly wasn't what they were expecting to come from Harry's veins.
"Doctor what exactly is this?" Arima questioned in an emotionless voice. He had learned long ago how to separate from his emotions during serious moments, and his son having light for blood was certainly serious.
The doctor became even more nervous. It was hard not to, with an angry Arima Kishou staring at him.
"From what me and several magical doctors can tell, young Harry no longer has blood, at least not in the sense we are used to. Instead, pure concentrated magic flows through his veins. There is no record of anything like this occurring, so there is no way to know how this will affect Harry besides increased magical power," the doctor said while trembling like a leaf.
It was at this moment that Harry spoke up. "If you can't tell what the effects are by analyzing my blood, then we'll just have to find out through our own tests. Right Dad?" He said as he looked to his father.
Said father smiled at this. Trust Harry to stay calm, even when learning that his very blood is magic. The test Harry was referring to was actually a combination of two tests. The first was the mandatory yearly Japanese Magical Ranking tests, which push wizards to their magical limits while making them use every spell they know to determine their ranking, which determines their standing in both magical society and scholarly meetings among other wizards. It also serves as a census of the magically capable beings in Japan (to be magically capable you must pass the Magi Exams). The second is the first part of the CCG Investigator Partner Exam, which pushes new investigators' physical attributes to the limit to determine both who they will be paired up with, and what type of quinqe would work the best for them. These two tests were combined to discover Harry's full combat potential. By preforming this hybrid test today, they could compare the new results to the previous results in order to determine how this magical blood has changed Harry. Before they could do that however, there was one more thing that Arima knew needed examination.
"Doctor while I am aware that the change in Harry's blood is quite significant, shouldn't we also examine his kagune to see if they have been effected as well?
The doctor jumped slightly. Clearly he had forgotten about everything else in light of Harry's blood,* however he quickly nodded. "You are of course correct Mr. Kishou. Harry, if you would?"
At that, Harry nodded, and quickly activated his kagune and kakugan (Ghoul eye), however no one expected what came out of his back. The Doctor and Arima simply looked at his kagune with dumbfounded expressions. When Harry looked at his kagune, he became quite shocked.
Instead of the ruby red color he was used to, or even a bright white that he might have expected with his new blood, his kagune were now pitch black. They were so dark that they seemed to absorb the light out of the air, making the whole room darker. As Harry looked back to the adults in the room, they both seemed to regain their composure.
"Alright young Harry, it seems as though you're kagune have changed as well. Now I'll have to take a small sample for testing," the doctor said as he readied a scalpel*. However when he went to cut away the tip of one of Harry's kagune, it reacted rather violently, knocking the scalpel away and flinging the doctor against the far wall and knocking him unconscious.
Arima stared at his son. "Harry, what on earth was that?"
Harry was trying to figure out the same thing. As his brain ran through all the possibilities, he found that only one was actually likely. "I didn't try to do that, however I think my kagune sensed a threat and sought to stop it. It's possible that they now have a limited consciousness, or at least basic preservation instincts. We'll need to do some tests to find out for sure.
Arima merely sighed and pinched his nose. Why did all of the strange things have to happen to his son? "Well since the doctors clearly can't help us we might as well head home and do those tests in the morning. Just wait here for a moment while I find a doctor for this doctor."
Harry merely nodded, happy to get away from the doctors without being prescribed bed rest. And this visit only took a single hour!
Hogwarts, Headmaster's office
"Albus what are we doing up here in the middle of the night?" James Potter asked. It was several hours after the champions had been chosen, and Albus had called James, Lily, and Jack up to his office for an unknown reason.
"I called you all here because of our fourth champion, Harry Potter," Albus replied in his standard grandfather voice.
It was at this moment that Lily spoke up. "But Albus, you told us Harry was dead years ago. How can he be a champion?"
Jack suddenly interjected. "Who is this Harry guy anyway? You all still haven't told me who he is."
Dumbledore used this as an opportunity to explain. "Harry is your elder twin brother. He was sent to live with your relatives the Dursleys after Voldemort attacked so he wouldn't live in your shadow. However he and the Dursleys disappeared ten years ago, and were assumed dead since I couldn't find a trace of them. However since his name came out of the goblet he must be alive, as only living people can be chosen as champions. How his name got in the cup is unknown, however all that matters right now is that we find him."
"And how are we going to do that when there haven't been any leads before?" James asked as he crossed his arms.
At this, Albus smiled. "I have a rather simple solution to that. Lily, if you would take this dagger, slice your palm, then fill this bowl with blood, I will be able to find Harry with a blood relative tracking charm. I never used it before as I thought there would be no point in it."
Lily did as he asked, filling a small bowl with countless golden runes covering the inside. Once that was done, Albus poured the blood onto a silver parchment. Once there, the blood reformed into words. The first set was expected. The second set was anything but expected.
Jack Potter
Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland
Harry Kishou (form. Potter)
CCG Headquarters, Tokyo, Japan
The inhabitants of the room stared at the parchment, until Jack asked the question on everyone's mind.
"What the hell is he doing in Tokyo?"
However Lily asked a question that had been bothering her for a while. "Albus why does it keep saying Harry Kishou? Shouldn't it just say Potter?"
However the headmaster merely waved both questions off. "Why Harry and the Dursleys are in Japan doesn't matter, and I'm sure they simply changed their surname to fit in. Now gather round, I'll Portkey is there and then we can bring young Harry back to Britain, where he belongs."
And in a flash of blue light, they were gone, hoping to bring Harry Potter back to Britain. If only they knew everything that such a decision would cause.
Granted, we wouldn't have a story if they did.
*While there is a curse on the position of DADA professor, there was no DADA Assistant Professor when it was cast. Therefore in theory there could be an assistant professor who would be unaffected by the curse, allowing for better education in that class despite the constant change in professors.
*I swear this pun was entirely unintended.
*After Harry's half-Ghoul statis was revealed, all medical equipment at the CCG was replaced with quinqe steel in case they needed to operate on Harry or another Ghoul.
IMPORTANT: I need y'all's help. I know how want to portray all the characters except for two, who I need y'all's opinion on. Hermione and Draco. Tell me in the comments how you think I should portray them, and if Hermione should be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Also I apologize for the delay, I'm not very good with dialogue so it took me a while to write. If anyone has tips for writing dialogue I will gladly take them. Lastly credit for the idea of using a blood spell to find Harry goes to SlashFan2018. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you have questions then feel free to ask. Also if you just wanted to read a story where Harry goes through 4th year as Kaneki than I apologize. I originally planned to do that, then I started this chapter and that plan went straight out the window. Sorry if that's what you wanted.
