Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Naruto nor Harry Potter series.

Harriet Lilian Potter never exactly knew when it all went really, really wrong.

The war against Voldemort ended with them remaining victorious, though there were also casualties and lots of injuries and dead deaddead people. Some of them were her friends and classmates.

On a rainy funeral with people mourning for their lost love ones and Harry trying so hard to stop the onslaught of tears threatening to fall as she, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasley family huddled together but that didn't really last long as Molly Weasley (poor poor Molly) cried her sorrow out at the loss of her child. Arthur who was trying to comfort his wife but never tried to stop the tears sliding down his face. Billy and Charlie held the family together in one big group hug as though to comfort their dear parents and siblings but they didn't look better themselves. Percy clenching his hands and looking down in guiltguiltguilt. Ginny sobbing and Ron hugging her to his side as himself, like his dad, didn't stop his tears from spilling. And then there's George (oh God, George) who lost an ear and had a blank look on his face as he stared blankly in front. The whole family was mourning.

But they had celebrated their victory, though a bit solemn. Finally, after years of long suffering, the times of the Dark Lord finally ended.

And it all was because of the bravery and courage, though a bit selfless, of one Harriet Lilian Potter who had been previously dubbed as "the girl who lived" to presently, "the girl who conquered". News had spread fast and people in the magic community did nothing but praise and thank her profusely. Of course, there were also stories of the Golden Trio and her closest friends, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley, were not excluded from reporters and visitors from people. Most of them were VIP people and the big shots.

Perhaps that was the time it all really went wrong.

Harriet panted as she ran as fast as she can from her pursuers. Not being able to apparate because they would spot her immediately no matter where she went around the world. After all, the ministry was also at his command and can detect her whenever she uses magic.

It was like at school all over again except that using magic now means being captured and there was absolutely low chance of escape if that were ever to happen.

Harriet tried to push down the feeling of being betrayed by one of her closest, dear friend and comrade during the war and felt the sting in her eyes, warning her of the tears threatening to fall.

Why? Whywhywhywhywhy?

How could this happen?

Harriet knew the world was unfair but she had desperately hoped that things were settled now, and she can live her life a bit better without any evil people trying to harm her. She had believed that as she became an adult and trained to be an auror and became an auror, learning the wonders and possible ways with runes and becoming a master with it. Everything was finally falling into place until—

The heroine felt her body collide with someone and suddenly she was pulled to a dark alleyway and she felt the panic bubbling in her throat but paused as she saw who had taken her.

It was a man, as it was obvious with the tall stature of the dark hooded person but that wasn't what made her pause. It was who the person was as poor Harriet recognized the ginger hair and the forever mischievous eyes of the older person even when he was frowning and she had almost slipped a different name from her mouth of a long dead person she had dearly missed if she hadn't notice the lack of an ear on the person's left side.

"George?"

Said person 'shh'ed her and handed her something to which she recognized with a gasp.

"This is—!"

George had cut her off and pointed at the narrow road of the alleyway, obviously in a hurry. "Run as fast as you can and continue to do so. Don't you ever stop or even look back until the portkey activates. It will any minute now.

"Hermione and Billy found a way for you to escape from this, this bloody blasphemy. It will send you to Japan."

Harriet had an alarmed look on her face.

"Billy have connections there and the magic community there have agreed to lend their aid. Harry," said nicknamed person had her breathe hitched because that was the nickname another person had given to her and it didn't help that the person looked a lot like the ginger haired in front of her. George seemed to notice the change in her expression because he winced at his slip. "sorry."

Harriet released a shuddering breathe. "N-no, it's okay."

"Harriet," he placed both hands on her shoulder. "After this, I may never see you again. So do the others."

"What?"

"The wizards and witches in Japan will explain more once you arrive there. They'll protect you from then on, they know what to do." George licked his lips, feeling it dry. "This is goodbye, from me and the rest of us."

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes and poor Harriet sobbed. "Ron... he *sob*"

"Listen Harry," this time, George didn't bother to correct himself. "Ron... he's not the person you used to know. That man is no friend of yours and he is no brother of mine. The Ron we know is gone."

George was right, Harriet knew. Ron was beyond saving now. But...

Harriet shut her eyes to let the tears fall and clenched her fists. "How could he do this?"

George gave her a sad smile, "Ron had always been greedy since he was small." He gently pushed her to the direction deeper in the alley. "Go. Don't stop running until it activates."

Harriet reached up and gently gave a peck to his cheek and gave him a smile, though it held anything but happiness. She turned and sprinted on her way. The sound of her footsteps disappearing.

George watched her disappear and sighed. Looking up to the sky, "If you were here Fred, you would have bullied Ron to bloody oblivion for this."

I know I should work on my other stories buuuuuut I can't get this out of my head omg. So this fic was inspired by Bubble Therapy and the other one was... I think Shadow of a Deer? I forgot. But yeah. I'm still not sure about this but after maybe the second or third chapter, I'll decide if I should continue this or nah. So I'll depend on your reviews. You can also write a review if you're confused about something, I'll PM you :) This is just a fanfic, so I'll add some things even though they're not part of both verse. Originally, this was actually a really long chapter but then when I reread it, it sounded kind of dull what with all the information going BAM BAM BAM and might just ruin the suspense, so I'll make it up on the next chapter.

Btw, this is a Shikaku x fem!Harry crossover fanfic. It's not typical, I know BUT I honestly believe there should be more fanfics with Shikaku as main. He's kind of a really cool guy.

Next chapter would be skipped to where Harriet is already transported to the Naruto world ;) guess which character she'll meet first.

PS. I actually lost the draft of my other stories because my flashdrive in which I place my drafts in, broke... T.T I kind of got frustrated for a long time and all. Sorry. At this rate, I might abandon them because I don't know what to do with them anymore!
