I do not own anything. All rights go to the makers of Tokyo Ghoul and Harry Potter.

Kaneki awoke in a room he did not recognize. It looked like he was in a castle bedroom, with stone walls and antique decorations surrounding him. He sat up in his bed and tried to recall what had happened to him.

He remembered being tortured by Jason. Having his toes and fingers cut off then regrown again and again. The centipede crawling through his head causing unimaginable pain… But then what happened?

Suddenly the door opened and a tall, old man with the longest beard Kaneki had ever seen appeared.

"Who are you?" Kaneki asked, bracing himself for any fighting that may have to occur.

"Good evening, Ken Kaneki. My name is Albus Dumbledore," The man spoke in perfect Japanese, "I would like to welcome you to Hogwarts."

"How did I get here? And why am I here?" Kaneki tried to sit up more but he actually felt pain whilst doing this. He guessed that the Rc suppressants that Yamori gave him were still in his body.

"Well," the man walked over and sat on the edge of his bed, "I was visiting Japan with a companion of mine who does research on different creatures of sorts. We discovered that Japan was home to ghouls, but not the ghouls that we were used to hearing about. As we were gathering research we came across this building and heard horrible screams coming from the inside." Kaneki could feel the man looking at him with pity so he lowered his head as the man continued,

"Upon going inside, we saw you bound to a chair with blood everywhere and a bucket of fingers and toes in front of you. We soon realized that you were a ghoul and that you were being tortured by another ghoul who took pride in what he was doing to you. As we tried to release you, a large man entered and started charging at us so I petrified him and we quickly got you out of there before he came to. Then we returned back here to Hogwarts and we've been monitoring you since then."

"You said you petrified him, how?"

"You see, Ken, Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry and I am the headmaster. That being said, I am a wizard."

"But if this is a school for wizards, why am I here? You know very well that I am not one," Kaneki said. This was all becoming so confusing.

"At first we brought you here because of how badly you were injured, but then you began to speak to us while you were unconscious. You said how you needed to escape, to get away from that place and never return. Is that what you really want?"

Kaneki took a minute before he replied. Is this what he wanted? To be free of the pain he felt in Tokyo? Maybe this is what he needs.

"I think I could give it a try, but how will I? I'm not a wizard, I'm a…a…."

"I'll inform the other Professors of your situation, and you can take classes that don't require the use of magic. I must advise you not to reveal your true self around the other students, they may not know how to react around you."

"You don't have to worry about that. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, actually, can you speak English? I happen to be the only person who can speak fluent Japanese."

"I know some, so I'll try my best."

"Good," the headmaster said in English while he stood up and walked to the door, "The rest of the students will be arriving tomorrow, we will place you in with the third year students, and I think Gryffindor house will best suit you. Get some rest, and I will see you tomorrow."

He left, leaving Kaneki with his thoughts.

Could this really be happening? Am I actually getting a fresh start? Instead of worrying about who is trying to kill me, my only worry will be trying to hide my eating habits. This could actually make me happy.

So I hope you all enjoyed this first chapter of my Tokyo Ghoul/Harry Potter crossover. This is my first attempt at a crossover so I am open to suggestions. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading! Chapter two will be up in a week!
