A/N: Alright, so I was watching the third Harry Potter movie today, I thought about what would happen if Inuyasha were there, how people would react. Through-out the entire movie, all I could think about was this crazy idea, and how I could turn it into a story. So, well this is the idea baby!

I figured that since my fist Harry Potter cross-over "When Wizards Meet Shinobi" was so successful, I could do it again. And, perhaps this will get me out of my funk for "When it all comes back" (the first story's sequel). Oh, and to my readers of WIACB, I. AM. SO, SORRY! I've run a bit dry, but I'm trying! I'd just rather not publish anything, than publish crap....I'm excluding my really old n00b stories of course XD

I have no idea if anything like this has ever been done before, but I'm giving it a shot with complete confidence. This will NOT be some amature written story, if you know what I mean. It will have depth, suspence, romance and all that shit we love.

ONE MORE THING, sorry, I'm taking forever aren't I? Anyway, although I do enjoy Harry Potter, I do NOT know everything about it. In fact, I'm going to make have of this up, So, please don't complain if I got something wrong. Also, don't pay attention to what would be happening in thier 7th year, it's not vital.

This story will mainly be based on Kagome and what I DO know about Harry Potter. The wizards will have a bigger part in this than they did in "WWMS", though, and sadly...Inuyasha will not be viewd very often -sobs- Sorry loves, but it's vital to the plot!

Now, without further ado, I bring you;

BEFORE THE DAWN

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight,
we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Before the Dawn- Evanescence

"SIT BOY!"

THUMP

"Inuyasha, you jerk! It's my 17th brithday! Couldn't you let me leave in peace this once? I want to spend the rest of the day with my family! I have another life other than being you're precious 'jewel detector', you know! Whether you like it or not, I'm going HOME!!!" Kagome screamed, hands on her hips, glaring at the Hanyou who was currently face planted onto the floor of the hut.

The rest of the occupants of the hut went along with thier daily buisness, colouring, cooking supper, polishing weapons and creating ofudas, as if it were any normal afternoon. And it was.

"Kagome, we are too close to finding Naraku for you to leave!" Inuyasha argued, pulling his face off the floor.

"Are you kidding? We are no closer to finding him than we are your missing BRAIN!" She shouted before turning on a heel to address her friends. "I'll be back in a couple of days." She said with a smile.

The young kitsune, Shippo, quickly jumped into her arms for a goodbye hug. "We'll miss you Kagome! Will you remember to bring back our treats?" He asked with innocent eyes.

Kagome laughed, then ruffled his pony-tailed hair. "Of course I will, and if you're extra good and leave Inuyasha alone, then I'll even bring you some more crayons."She promised before placing him on the ground.

"Goodbye Kagome, and good luck with your studies." The Monk Miroku smiled.

"Bye Kagome! Have a good birthday!" Sango also said with a smile.

"Farewell child." The old preistess Kaede added while stirring her stew.

Still waving, Kagome left the hut. Only moments later, Inuyasha was able to peal himself off the the ground, muttering "Stupid woman" under his breath.

The slayer sighed, "You know Inuyasha, you should be a lot nicer to Kagome. She gives up a lot for us, and you treat her like garbage!" She scolded. The two tailed demon cat, Kirara mewed in agreement.

"She's right Inuyasha. One day you just might push her over the edge. Then she'll never come back. How would you like that on your concience?" Miroku explained calmly.

"Would you get off my back?!" The angry Hanyou stood abruptly. "And I'm NOT going to see Kagome. I'm just going out for a run!" He shouted before bolting out the door. A corner of the mat that acted as the door fell off in reponse to Inuyasha's hasty exit.

"That guy...."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kagome stormed towards with well, fuming after her fight with Inuyasha. 'He's so stubborn! I swear, sometimes I forget how I fell in love with him...' Her thoughts stopped dead in thier tracks. 'I love him so much, it hurts sometimes. Especially since he probably doesn't return it.'

"Kagome!" A familiar voice called from behind her. Kagome's heart melted everytime he heard him say her name. She turned around to see the hanyou running toward her.

"Looking, I'm sorry alright. I just want to find that bastard, and I wasn't thinking straight. You can go back if you want...not that you needed my permission anyway." He ended in a smirk, nodded toward the well.

"Inuyasha...did you just appologize?" She asked in disbeleif. Sure, he had said sorry before...it was just very rare. "Hey, do you want to come back with me for dinner? I can make some of the Ramen noodles you love so much."

Inuyasha's face brightened at the prospect. He nodded before wrapped an arm around her waist and jumping into the well. Before they could reach the cold dirt ground, a bright light surrounded them, fading away to a familiar weightlessness. It felt as though they were flying through outerspace. It was dark all around them, with stars and swirls of navy blue illuminating thier way. At the end of the tunnel, A bright light shone bright, marking thier destination.

Suddenly, the familiar nothingness around them started to tremble and pulse. With each tremor, the blue and black faded away to red and orange.

"What the hell?!" Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to his side and rested a hand on his trusty Tessusaiga. Whatever was happening it wasn't good.

"Inuyasha, look!" Kagome gasped at seeing thier collection of jewel shards, in a tiny glass bottle around her neck, start to pulse in rythm with the time stream.

The tremors started getting stronger. Both Hanyou and Miko starred wide eyed at the light before them. Like an ameoba, the light began to split in two. One in front of Kagome, the other in front of Inuyasha. A force of gravity suddenly started to pull them apart, much against thier will. In panic, Inuyasha struggled to keep a hold on Kagome, but slowly, they were slipping from each other's arms. With only thier clasped hands to keep them together, the pull became to strong, and they were ripped away from each other.

"INUYASHAAA!" Kagome screamed, her hand still stretched out to him, her eyes filled with terror.

"KAGOMEEE!"

"Happy Birthday Harry!"

Harry Potter beamed down at his birthday cake, the flickering light of the candles set his face aglow. This was his first REAL birthday cake, excluding the one his fat cousin ate. Harry had spent the summer at the Weasely's, having no place anymore at his uncle's. Not that he cared, it had been the best summer he could imagine. And now, it was the night before they left for Hogwarts. Hermione had come for the party, and was staying over night to board the train with them.

Harry took in a deep breath, than blew out all of the candles, except one. After five blows, the stubborn flame wouldn't go out. He sighed, defeated. "Fred, George..."

"Gotcha Harry!" George laughed, picking the trick candle from the chocolate cake.

"You know, the muggles have some pretty fair pranks." Fred added.

"Alright, that's enough you too." Mrs. Weasely scolded, shooing the boys away. "Now, time for gifts!"

"Oh, I couldn't-"

"Nonsense Harry! Every boy should get presents on his birthday!" Mrs. Weasely butt in, handing Harry the first gift he found.

"Best birthday ever." Harry whispered to himself before tearing away the paper. The gifts weren't much, but considering he'd never gotten many, they were amazing. He got a knitted sweater from Mr. and Mrs. Weasely, A joke book from Fred and George, a painted coffee mug from Ginny, a book on Owl tricks from Hermione and a broom care kit from Ron.

After all the gifts were open, and Harry thanked everyone, they cut the chocolate and butterscotch cake. As they eat, they reminiced about all the good times they've had at Hogwarts in the past, and what they were looking forward to in the coming year. Fred and George were just getting into a story about finding Ron locked in the girls bathroom during the 1st year oriantation, when a muffled cry followed by a soft thump caused everyone to pause.

Slowly, wands at the ready, Mr. and Mrs. Weasely walked out of the room. All the children were silent, when they heard the front door open.

"Oh my goodness!" Mrs. Weasley gasped.

The teenagers all bolted up and ran to the door, to see what all the fuss was about. Looking over the adults, they saw a young girl passed out in the freezing rain. A bright yellow backpack, a quiver of arrows and a bow were scattered on the ground beside her.

"Well don't stand there! Quickly, let's get the poor girl inside. Ginny, be a dear and go fetch her some of your clothes. Fred, George, go and put some blankets and pillows on the guest bed. Ron, start warming the kettle for some hot chocolate. Harry, Hermione, help us get her and her things inside. Hurry!" Mrs. Weasely snapped into command, and no one dared complain.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasely, Harry and Hermione raced outside. kneeling down at her side, Mr. W flipped her over, then carefully picked het up bridal style and carried her into the house.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Twenty minutes later, the girl was changed, with the help of Hermione and Ginny, dry and cozy in bed. She hadn't waken up since they brought her in, but Mrs. Weasely assured that she would wake up soon.

As the majority of the family left the warm, attic guestroom, Fred and George whispered mischeviously in Harry's ear, pointing at the sleeping maiden. "Happy Birthday Potter."

Before he could respond, they were already down the stairs, leave only him, Ron, Hermione and Mr. Weasely.

"Certainly a strange occurence, isn't it?" Mr. Weasly mused, holding a steamy cup of hot chocolate to his lips.

"She was in a japanese middle school uniform, which means she probably doesn't live here. What could she possibly doing in London all alone?" Hermione inquired.

"And she has a Bow and Arrows...strange." Harry added.

Ron leaned over to Harry, so only he could hear him whisper. "She's kind of cute..."

Ignoring the boys, Mr. Weasely took a closer look at her. "She's no muggle, I can tell you that. There's something peculiar about this one. She has power, I can almost feel it."

"Look! She's waking up!" Hermione exclaimed, pointing to her.

Chocolate brown orbs slowly flickered opened through thick black eyelashes. Upon taking in the unfamliliar people, room and clothes, fear shot through her like adrenaline. She quickly sat up and backed away until she hit the head board. "D-Dare doko omaesan? Ima doko dakke?! Ima doko Inuyasha?!?" She asked, her voice rising in fright.

"Whoa, calm down there. We're friends. Now, do you speak english?" Mr. Weasely asked calmy.

"W-wakarimasen..." She whispered, on the verge of tears.

"She doesn't know any english." Ron stated.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." Hermione grumbled.

"Tetsudatte kuremasuka?" She asked, the fear starting to drop from her voice, though no where near gone.

"Well, that can be easily fixed." Mr. Weasely said, regarding his son. He turned back to the girl and took out his wand. "Languarius." He said firmly, flicking his wand. A silver glowing sphere shot from the tip and into Kagome's mouth. Her throat and ears glowed for a few moments.

"Who are you? Where am I?" She asked with pleading eyes.

"No need to worry, we're friends. You collapsed in the ran outside. And you're in England of course." He answered sitting on the edge of her bed.

She sucking in a sharp breath when she heard him say England. How did she end up so far away?

"Why don't you tell us a little about yourself. Perhaps we can help you." Harry suggested.

"M-my name is Kagome Higurashi... I was on my way home with my friend Inuyasha for my birthday-"

"What a coincidense, it's Harry here's birthday." Ron grined, slapping his friend on the back

"Oh, it is? Happy Birthday." Kagome smiled, which amazed the others. How, after all she'd been through tonight, could she still smile and wish someone else a happy birthday?

"Uh, Happy Birthday to you too..." Harry said in disbeleif.

"Anyway, I was on my way home with him when...something...happened. We were serperated, and there were these two bright lights, and he was sucked into the other one. I woke up in an old well not far from here and started walking for help." Kagome finished with tears in her eyes.

"There there, no need for tears. Why don't we go and get you some nice, warm hot chocolate? Come on you three." Mr. Weasely said, standing up.

"But it doesn't take four people to-"

"Ronald." He glared in a stern voice, silently saying that she probably needed some alone time.

Once they were all out of the room, Kagome looked arounda and spotted a book by the nightstand labeled. "A history of Hogwarts". A quick skim through the pages told her that this was a school for witches and wizards. 'So they're magic...' Kagome thought. Maybe if she went there, she could find help. She didn't have much time to think about it because foot steps were quickly coming closer.

"Perhaps it was a port key of sorts. Now, you don't seem to be a mugle. Are you familiar with magic?" Mr. W asked, as he opened the door, walked to her bed and handed her the mug.

"I guess you could say that..." Kagome trailed off, thinking about her adventures in the Sengoku Jidai.

"Were you on your way to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked.

Kagome's eyes brightened. "Uh, yes, this will be my first year there."

"Well, we are heading there tomorrow. Why don't you tag along with us?" said Ron.

"Thank you..." Kagome whispered in gratitude. Perhaps, the people there could help her get home... and find Inuyasha

The creature had appeared out of no where.

The teachers where preparing for another year at Hogwarts, when it had jumped out of an old well on the edge of the grounds. He had run around frantically, angrily, speaking in a foreign tongue. It wasn't until Professors Dumbledore and Snape came and used the Languarius spell that they understood him. He started shouting at then, asking where the hell he was, and where the girl was. When he received to helpful answeres, he assumed they were enemies, holding information from him. He leatp at them, claws raised.

"Imobilus!" Snape shouted, casting an electic wave from his wand at the creature who was still in midair when he was hit. it fell to the ground, completely still. "What do you make of this, professor?" he asked.

"I know not what to make of this. It could be a mere rouge creature, or the begining of something much bigger. But for the safety of our students we cannot let it roam free. Lock him in the thirds tower, make sure he can not escape." Dumbledore ordered, gazing down at it. A teenage boy, with long silver hair, matching dog ears and molten gold eyes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On a side note, the japanese Kagome was speaking earlier is not completely accurate. I couldn't find a good translator. Basically she is saying. "Who are you? Where am I? Where is Inuyasha?!", "I don't understand." and "Can you help me?"

So, I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! May there be many more to come!
