FOREWORD

It's a funny old thing, isn't it? This was originally intended to be my first RWBY crossover. But, well, I delayed while I intended to watch more of the series, and my first crossover became Neopolitan and the Goblet of Fire. Which was probably a better choice in the end. It didn't require as much prior knowledge of RWBY, and it had a relatively novel plot by comparison (unleashing Neo, who was a female Harry, on Magical Britain).

This one isn't so novel. A lot of people have done 'Harry becoming a Hunter at the same time as Ruby, etc' stories, and it took some doing to find the right angle, especially as I had a notion of doing a Harry/Blake story (though that has evolved into a Harry/Blake/Ilia, long before the recent revelation of Ilia's unrequited infatuation with Blake). But, well, I always intended to post this, and now I have the opportunity.

It's worth pointing out that, after consideration, there will be few influences from the Potterverse, though there will be allusions to Harry and the others going to Earth for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. But that will be background.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Harry Potter and RWBY. And yes, that includes Volume 5.

Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my works. You have been warned.

Thirdly, this is an M-Rated work. There will be coarse language, violence, dark themes and sexual references. Again, you have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and RWBY are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Tyrian will impale you with his stinger tail…
