FOREWORD

Finishing Xenophilia so quickly was not my intention, though dividing the story into two was after a certain point. This tale of Harry and Mikoto (the latter from Final Fantasy IX) ending up together and helping Zidane and company save Gaia is nowhere near my most popular or viewed work, but it clearly captured the imaginations of many of my readers. Which is why the sequel was a sure thing.

Final Fantasy IX remains my firm favourite of the series. And writing fanfics based on that particular instalment has become a slight niche of mine, with four crossovers to date (not including this one), three with Harry Potter (A Third Summoner, Amethyst and Garnet, and, of course, Xenophilia) and one with Highschool DxD (Black Mage of Kuoh), along with two pure fanfics, Raison d'Etre and Zidane of Burmecia. One crossover with Harry Potter that I enjoyed was Magical Orders and Thieving Angels by Canis Cantus, and while there will be many differences from that work, Xenophobia will have a similar premise: Zidane and other Final Fantasy IX characters getting involved in Year Five's events.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. First, there will be spoilers for Harry Potter and Final Fantasy IX. You have been warned.

Secondly, as usual for my works, there will be a lot of annotations. I am sick of people complaining about them, so I say to you, if you don't like them, shut up, or get out.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Final Fantasy IX are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, you'll be transformed into a frog and left in front of Quina Quen.
