Gundam Wing/Harry Potter crossover by FaeryMage

CHAPTER ONE-INTRODUCTION

In the year 197, the latest war involving Mobile Suits had come to a close, the Barton Uprising had been thwarted, and the undertaking of the Family Reconstruction Act was well in hand. Most of the population of both Earth and the Colonies were registered with a blood sample on file. There were five young men in particular who had a workstation dedicated to them in hopes of finding unknown family members.

As stated, most of the population had registered. There were those who tried to avoid the now-legally required doctor's appointment. One such example was Vernon Dursley of Little Whining, Surrey, England. This individual had supported the Alliance, and in turn OZ, and was decidedly bigoted towards anyone not like himself. However much Vernon tried to avoid registering with his family, Grunnings (the drill company he worked for) had already supplied all employee records to the section of government overseeing the FRA. And so it was after several notices ignored that a light duty Preventers agent was assigned to corral the family to the nearest FRA-approved clinic. The Dursleys grumbled and hem-hawed but ultimately complied.

As was protocol, each family member was isolated from the others during the procedure. First, the dangerously obese man went into the exam room, then the contrastingly thin Petunia. Things became complicated when the rotund son, Dudley, let slip about his orphan cousin that stayed with them over summer as the cousin attended a distant boarding school. The clinic's doctor managed to get Dudley to talk quite extensively about Cousin Harry, and what she heard disturbed her.

Doctor Martha Jones made a show of having to step outside of the exam room for the sample supplies. She subtlety signaled the on-site Preventer to join her in the office. Preventer Noah frowned as the doctor relayed what she had just found out about the supposedly household of three.

Preventer Noah radioed his partner, Nicole, who was canvassing the Dursleys' neighborhood. Nicole was in the cat-overrun house of a Mrs. Arabella Figg when the radio sounded and her partner conveyed a condensed version of what Dr. Jones said. Mrs. Figg the cat lady watched on in fascination, which Nicole thought odd.

"Are you and the man talking about Harry Potter?" Arabella queried. "I babysit him from time to time. The boy is away at his boarding school, won't be back for a couple days yet. Young Harry is an orphan. Lost his parents at fifteen months old, he did. Been living with his maternal aunt, Petunia, ever since. She and her family say such foul things about the boy, but not true a'one of 'em, I say. Harry's always behaved when I watch him."

Of course, Arabella Figg hadn't registered with the FRA, so Nicole convinced the old woman to go with her to the clinic when the Dursleys returned.

The rest of the day passed with little to note. Preventers Noah and Nicole submitted their report to their supervisor with a note of needing a follow up visit for the fourth member of the Dursley household.

A week later, Agents Noah and Nicole returned to the Dursley house. Noah was to distract the family while Nicole located Harry. She found him in the back garden. As Nicole approached the boy, she frowned at the sight of him. The twelve-year-old boy— almost thirteen — looked closer to ten, considering his size. Dirt stained thin fingers, and horrendously oversized clothes adorned his thin frame as he weeded the flower patch. The neckline of worn tent of a shirt slipped to show a bony, scarred shoulder. Messy black hair, pale skin, and a pair of spectacles with bulky, round frames seemed to make his young face thinner still.

"Hullo," Nicole whispered. The boy startled then stared at her with wide green eyes. "I'm Nicole with Preventers. My partner and I are making sure everyone is registered with the Family Reconstruction program. Would you happen to be Mrs. Dursley's nephew, Harry Potter? You weren't here when we took them to the registration clinic."

"Err," the boy hesitated. "I am Harry. Aunt Petunia doesn't want me talking to people, though. You might want to leave before she notices you back here talking to me."

Nicole gave a small chuckle. "A trained Preventer agent versus a house wife, oh dear." She smiled kindly at Harry. "Actually the clinic's attending doctor pieced together that your relatives are not pleasant towards you. So, my partner is distracting the Dursleys, how about we get you registered, yeah? Dr. Martha is waiting in our vehicle."

He boy nodded his consent. He clambered to his feet and dusted himself off as best he could. Nicole led him to the van marked Preventers parked at the other side of the street. They headed to the back doors, and Harry was surprised to see the portable, mini exam room tucked inside.

Martha Jones was well aware of the limited time she would have with her patient. That she was operating from the back of a Precentors van only showed how determined she was to see to the boy's condition. By the sounds of it, the Dursleys hadn't been kind to him at all. One does not simply dangle a possible child abuse case in front of a Jones woman and expect nothing to come of it. Especially with Martha's younger sister working in Child Services.

So while Noah distracted the family and Nicole collected the child, Dr. Jones prepped all the required paperwork and supplies. Of course, she intended to perform as complete of a checkup as possible from the back of a van. She had even brought a few things from home- a tape measurer to check his height and a bathroom scale, for example. Her Polaroid camera was at the ready on the minuscule desk. "One should never underestimate a Jones," she mused. "We're like the Borg from Star Trek. Resistance is futile."

It was as the doctor was snickering at the mental picture of her family as Borg, that the back doors opened. Martha grabbed the scale and tape measurer as she hopped out. "All right, then!" With that Harry's first real mundane checkup started, as unorthodox as it was. As efficiently as she worked, Martha still managed to entertain the boy with inane chatter about an American-accented friend that apparently refused to die no matter what happened to him. Getting shot, electrocuted, car crash, falling from great heights - somehow the man just kept bouncing back.

Soon enough the checkup was complete and the required samples taken. Dr. Jones smiled as brightly as she could and gave Harry a hug in farewell. Preventer Nicole escorted Harry back to the flower garden of Number Four Pivot Drive.

Moments after the young boy resumed his weeding, the back door of the house opened. Vernon Dursley stood in the doorway a moment, silently observing his nephew maintain the flower plot. The man was still a bit red in the face from his discussion with Preventer Noah. "Boy!" Vernon shouted and took pleasure in seeing Harry jump in surprise. "This man from the government is going to take you to a clinic for blood tests. Make you don't have any freakish diseases." The walrus of a man shuffled aside to let Noah step onto the patio.

"Hullo, there," Noah greeted cordially. "I'm Noah from the Preventers office. Today I'm helping to make sure everyone is in compliance with the Family Reconstruction Act recently passed. Your relatives were processed last week, you see. They tell me you hadn't returned from school by then, so I'm back. Why don't you freshen up a bit, and we'll be off to the clinic, yeah?"

Harry glanced to his uncle for confirmation, and the big man snapped, "Hurry it up, boy! Don't go wasting the man's time!" With that, Harry scurried to the hosepipe to rinse off the worst of the dirt before heading inside to wash with soap and change into a fresh set of clothes.

Preventer Noah met him at the bottom of the stairs and led him out to the van where Nicole and Martha waited for them. The side door opened from within, and Martha grinned at them from the back seats, while Nicole patiently sat in the driver's seat. Since all of the clinic work was already performed in the very back of the van, the four merely went to lunch instead. After the meal, they dropped off Dr. Martha and her medical things at the clinic. Then the Preventers agents regretfully retuned Harry to the Dursleys. Noah and Nicole walked with him to the house, and both made sure to speak loudly enough for the obviously eavesdropping neighbors that Harry behaved perfectly at the clinic while registering for the FRA database. Nicole even went so far as to say that it was a shame that Harry was not taught about the rest of his extended family and especially about his deceased parents. Noah added on that the Preventers database listed Lily and James Potter as members of a vigilantes group that opposed a vicious terrorist group that had a notoriously high death toll considering the relatively small area targeted. Petunia simply stood on the stoop with a strained smile, knowing that information would reach the entire neighborhood soon enough.

With heavy hearts, the pair of agents left Privet Drive. They could only hope that the Dursleys wouldn't be too hard on Harry. In the short few hours that they had known him, that underweight child had already grown on them.

Doctor Sally Po busied herself between three monitors displaying results from the FRA blood samples. Her caramel-colored braids bounced as she took in the irregularities in each sample's file. For example, a boy in Britain had an apparently rare venom and anti-venin from an unknown species of snake; another case had a strange virus that Po had never even seen before.

A fourth monitor acted separately from the other three. This monitor and its processing system appeared to be searching for familial matches for seven people in particular. The five Gundam pilots and the Peacecraft siblings, to be specific. DNA results already shown that Relena and Miliardo were only half siblings, so the royalty-born pair were added to her 'special care' list.

Another thing Sally had taken notice of in the oddity files, was that an increasing number of samples had unfamiliar antibodies. The venom/anti-venin boy and the strange virus child also had the newly noted antibodies. In fact, there had been enough occurrences of the antibodies to warrant a new file tag, which Sally already programmed.

Sally Po completed her notes on the files on the three monitors and submitted the saved data to be added to the complete registry. The next three 'oddity' files populated on the monitors, and the process started again.

Meanwhile, Preventers Director Lady Une sat in a meeting with the hidden leaders of Earth. The 'hidden leaders' were the Ministers of Magic of their respective countries and the representatives of the International Confederation of Wizards/Witches. Lady Une had taken migraine medication before the meeting as a preemptive measure, and it appeared to help.

Most of the Magical people opposed the implementing of the Family Reconstruction Act on their citizens. One might assume that the gathered witches and wizards didn't understand what the point of the FRA actually was. It was with such a notion in mind, Une drew their attention to the projection screen. Displayed was a Preventer agent that had previously thought himself to be the last of his family.

"Lloyd Renfield from the United Kingdom was a survivor of a terrorist attack eleven years ago. The remains of his mother and sister proved their deaths but his father was assumed dead as many bodies in that area were horribly disfigured." The screen changes to what some of the magical folks recognized as the street Sirius Black supposedly blew up to kill Peter Pettigrew. "Llyod went on to be raised in foster care. It is thanks to the FRA's efforts that we located Llyod's father and found that Theodore Renfield had thought his entire family lost to the exploding gas line. Llyod now spends his downtime getting to know his stepmother and half siblings."

A new photo from the projector showed one Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born wizard that the grandfatherly Albus Dumbledore recognized. "This is Ted Tonks, also of the U.K. We discovered he has a half-sister and a number of nieces and nephews in the Colonies. As I understand it, they continue to exchange correspondence."

The image changed to a young woman apparently mourning. "Since the FRA database includes the medical files of the Alliance and OZ, we have been able to inform waiting families as to the fates of their relatives. Shown here is Margret Danvers. It is currently believed that her uncle, OZ serviceman Henry Danvers, died protecting the Winner family heir, Quatre Reberba Winner, from a misprogrammed Mobile Doll. Mister Winner has expressed his gratitude to Ms. Danvers (as she was Henry's next of kin) and had initiated a trust fund for her children."

A photo depicting an elderly woman clutching a stuffed animal soon occupied the screen. "Nadrene Elhurst recently recovered from leukemia. The FRA had found her estranged son, and he donated bone marrow to help fight the disease. Andrews now has a chance to see her grandchildren grow up."

The next image displayed an orphanage's occupants. Children ranging from toddlers to teenagers, and all ages between, stared at the camera with hopelessness shining in their eyes. "You have heard the success stories, the positive outcomes. This is the heart of why the Family Reconstruction Act was established. The recent wars, both Mundane and Magical, have left countless children without any known relatives. We aim to reunite families so that these children have a better future. The FRA is a mission of compassion. In this photo, ladies and gentlemen, are children of magic; each has shown signs of accidental magic and been placed together until we can find their families, or at least foster families."

"That one there," Albus Dumbledore pointed to an older teen with long brown hair hanging in a thick braid over his shoulder. "Who is that? He quite resembles one of my former students."

A wry grin curled Une's lipsticked mouth. "That is Preventer Maxwell. He was either orphaned or abandoned on Colony L2 before he even knew his given name; his current name is one he gave himself. Having grown up with bursts of accidental magic on the streets, he often checks in with this orphanage and others like it."

From there, the magical leaders and their advisors put their heads together to discuss the information provided. One of the top supporters for the FRA was, of course, Albus Dumbledore; he was marginally opposed by the British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge (who was thinking of Lucius Malfoy's continued, erm, support). With a majority vote of the Ministers and unanimous vote of the ICW, the gathered magical leadership decided to embrace the Family Reconstruction Act.

~~~~~ * ~~~~~ * Line Break * ~~~~~ * ~~~~~

While most of the magical communities were fairly aware of the world events in recent years, the United Kingdom's magical population, by contrast, grew more removed from the happenings of the Mundane world. Of course, there were exceptions, but those were few and far between. Ted Tonks, for example, tried to keep abreast of the world he was born into.

When the FRA came about, Ted convinced his family to register. Two months later, he received a letter informing him of a half sister who lived in the space colonies. Ted had hurried to the nearest international communication center and made a video-call to the contact number listed in the letter. The call was crazy expensive but worth it as he not only spoke to the younger woman but got to see her as well. As it turned out, Ted's father has fallen ill towards the end of his Hogwarts years; the man recovered but Ted's mum was killed in a Muggle bank robbery a few years later. Tonks Sr. had mourned but ultimately remarried without informing Ted.

Another magical citizen that followed the outside world was werewolf Remus Lupin. Considering jobs were hard to come by for werewolves in the Wizarding World, Remus often found work in the Muggle world. At one point, he had found a job that honored his request to have a few days off around the full moon (citing religious reasons); but once he discovered the factory was making supplies for the Alliance, he quit...with a two week notice. No point in blemishing his work history, he figured. When the Gundams started attacking military bases, Remus paid more attention to the news coverage. He stood in shock as Sandrock was destroyed to allow the other suits - and its pilot- to escape. He unknowingly wept alongside Duo and Trowa as the Deathscythe Gundam was destroyed on live television. The world mourned the loss of WEI's CEO and praised the man for his bravery. Similar praise and sorrow for the destruction of L5. So many lives lost, and the werewolf grew frustrated with how little wizards and witches cared. When the Family Reconstruction Act came about, Remus considered registering, but the fear of his 'furry little problem' outweighed his desire to reconnect with family.

Kingsley Shacklebolt was also aware of the war with the Gundams due to his job as an Auror. Kingsley was acting as a bodyguard to the Mundane British Prime Minister, after all. The concerns shown by the Muggle Minister was, quite frankly, refreshing after dealing with Fudge's "it doesn't affect us, so don't worry about it" spiel. If the Alliance managed to destroy a Gundam over London, it would damn well affect the Wizarding World.

Another magical citizen to watch the happenings of the nonmagical side, was none other than Alastor 'Mad Eye' Moody. Of course, the retired Auror deemed the Gundam pilots worthy of his assistance. A tracking spell, disillusionment charms, apparition, and his magical 'mad eye' - the grizzled man would use every tactic to locate the pilots' safe houses and leave a trunk with various survival necessities. Canned food, jerky, bottled water, some basic hygiene products (they were teenage boys, after all), and warm blankets filled the trunks. Safe houses aside, Alastor would creep while under either an invisibility cloak or disillusionment charm onto a base under attack and startle everyone on the base's radio frequency by shouting his customary "Constant Viligence!" (amplified by Sonorous) into the microphone. And then, still under his cloak and charms, he'd stun whoever he met along his escape path.

Moody managed to attend some of Relena Dorlian-Peacecraft's public political appearances, only to stun and bind would-be assassins. The retired Auror voluntarily registered in the FRA, using a random phone number and his mundane post office box for contact information. No word yet regarding any previously unknown relatives.

Dr. Sally Po was in the 'oddity file' lab when the fourth computer beeped an alert. Sally startled but exchanged her current clipboard for s blank one to take notes on. According to the monitor dedicated to a certain seven people, a partial match had been found. What brought a disbelieving smile to the doctor's face was that, apparently, Gundam pilot Heero Yui had a half brother on the paternal side. According to the half brother's file, they were born roughly three years apart - Heero being sixteen-ish and the boy nearly thirteen.

Sally frowned, however, when she read the special note on the younger boy's file. According to Dr. Martha Jones, who registered him, Harry Potter was small for his age, showing obvious signs of malnourishment, neglect, and abuse. Dr. Jones advised that Harry would likely need relocating should any additional family be found, as his maternal aunt and her family treated the child poorly. Also of note, Harry was one of the oddity files, having the venom/anti-venin in his blood stream.

With all notable details jotted down, she called her superior to report in. Sally bounced on the balls of her feet, her braids thumped against her shoulders. Lady Une answered the direct line in just two rings. Before the director of Preventers could greet the doctor, Sally blurted, "One of the boys has a partial! Paternal half brother."

Une gasped minutely. "Which one, Sally?"

A large grin stretched across Dr. Po's face. "The Perfect Soldier, Heero Yuy. Who'd have thought we'd get a hit on him before the others?"

"Well, he is 01, after all. Perhaps Duo will be next," the bespectacled woman joked. "Send me the report, and I'll inform Heero."
