This is an idea that came to me as all ideas do, while drunk. I will try to see it through to the end though, so please be patient with me, as my grammar is a little rusty from not writing in so long.

I do not own the rights to Harry Potter or Zootopia.

Prologue

Green eyes peered into brown, the air thick with tension. As he stared, Harry could feel a bead of sweat roll down his face. It had all come down to this final moment, and he had to come out victorious. The brown eyes lingered on him, the owner sporting an impish smile.

"Well, whats it going to be?" she purred. Harry's hand tightened as he finally made his move.

"got any threes?" harry asked as he looked down at the cards in his hand. His face lit up in excitement as he saw Hermiones head drop. Sulking, she handed him her the 3 cards in her hand. "Yes! Harry cheered as he jumped up and down in his seat, wearing nothing but his boxers.

"yeah yeah, laugh it up harry", Hermoine said as she took off the sweater she was wearing. "I wouldn't be celebrating too much, after all, that's the first win you have gotten. Or do I need to remind you that you are almost naked?" Harrys elation died, but before he could reply, there was a knock on the door. "I will get that, you get dressed."

"Sounds good to me", Harry said as he gathered up his clothes from the floor of their 2 bedroom flat. It had been a year out of Hogwarts when Hermoine and he decided to move in together. She had decided to go to university and didn't want to live alone. He had agreed to move in, citing that it made the trips to the Ministry easier. His job as an auror paid well enough that he never had to touch the money he had saved. It was fortunate, since the goblins confiscated his vault as reparations for the damage done during their escape from gringotts. As he was throwing on his shirt, Hermoine came rushing back into the room.

"Harry, an unspeakable is here to see you. He says it has something to do with the Veil." Harry nodded at that. He filed a request for more information regarding the archway about 2 weeks ago, never really expecting to get any response, since the unspeakable's tended to be secretive. Walking towards the front door, he was greeted by a lanky, blonde haired man.

"Mr. Potter, I am glad to inform you that your request has been approved, with limitations of course." he said. Harry motioned him to continue. "All that we as is that you come to the department and verify a few of the comments you mentioned in your report."

"Ok, let me just grab my stuff really quick and I will join you." receiving a nod, harry quickly grabbed his wand and moleskin pouch before walking over towards hermoine. "Looks like I will have to suspend the strip goldfish game" hermoine laughed, before punching him in the shoulder.

"Yes, because you were doing so well," she said as he made his way to the door while chuckling. When he got outside, the unspeakable looked at him with an amused grin.

"Girlfriend?" "No, just a really good cheater at cards." laughter ensued between the pair. "Ok, just grab onto this portkey and we will arrive at the DoM." the unspeakable said, holding out a tire iron. Harry shrugged, grabbing onto the metal and immediately feeling the pull in his navel.

They appeared inside the stone chamber that housed the Veil. Looking around, Harry took note that there was no one else there. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at the unspeakable.

"Ahh I see that you were expecting others, don't worry. Ever since the minister cut our budget, we have had to release personnel, and sadly my research group was one of the first to go. I believe introductions are in order, I am Kaleb, the sole researcher in charge of the Veil, or as I like to call it, the Gateway." Harry nodded, knowing that the budget cuts had effected all of the departments of the ministry.

"Lets get down to business Kaleb, you said that you have some questions about my report?" Kaleb nodded, getting an excited look on his face.

"Yes Mr. Potter, in your report you mentioned that in your 5th year, you encountered the Veil when a group of your classmates and yourself breeched the protections of the DoM. Is that correct?" harry nodded. "and you claim to have heard voices coming from the veil?" another nod followed, making the unspeakables face show elation. "You don't understand how important this is for my research! I have long theorized that the gateway is really a dimensional tear in our reality!"

"Okay, so is that good?" harry asked, looking over at the tattered cloth that wasnt suppose to exist. Kaleb was now jumping up and down like a schoolgirl with a sugar rush.

"Its fantastic! It means that there are potential worlds out there to study!" calming down, Kaleb pulled a clip board out of nowhere. "Now, can you hear any voices coming from the gateway?" Harry turned his head to the arch, walking towards it and stopping about 3 feet from it, he began to hear the whispers again.

"Yeah, they are there, I cant make out what they are saying though." Kaleb once again became excited, and rushed in to attempt to hear them to.

A fundamental fact of the universe is that if something can go wrong, it will. This can be observed in all objects and creatures, including the shoe laces on the unspeakables feet. In the researchers excitement, he had failed to notice the laces come undone, resulting in him tripping about 2 feet from harry.

Caught off guard, harry was knocked off balance, and fell into the veil. Getting up off the ground, kaleb looked around the now empty room. "Oh dear, this isnt good."
