Here I go again, jumping on the bandwagon... I just love Harry Potter cross-overs. They're just so much fun and it's amazing what can be done combining two great series. Like my Hetalia/Harry Potter cross-over, this will probably end up turning into a full-fledged story rather than a collection of one-shots. I hope everyone enjoys what I have so far. Please read, review, and enjoy!

Welcome to Hogwarts

A Durarara/Harry Potter cross-over

First Year: Sorting

Mikado Ryuugamine looked up at the Hogwarts castle, feeling very intimidated by the giant stone-work sitting in front of him. After all, he was only a first-year in the wizarding school so he had plenty of reasons to be nervous.

"Why the long face?" a blond from next to him asked.

Mikado looked at the blond, shaking slightly because he wasn't used to being approached in such a way. The blond gave him a confused look with his hazel eyes and then tossed his arm around the other's shoulder.

"Aw, don't be so skittish, man," the blond said casually as he shook the other boy around. "It's not that bad being a first year. I mean, the worst the upper-classmen can do to you is stick your head in a toilet or make you grow a squirrel's tail."

Mikado shivered at thought of suddenly growing a tail due to a hex.

"The name's Masaomi Kida," the blond smiled as the boats drew closer to shore. "What's yours?"

"Mikado Ryuugamine…" Mikado said slowly, still nervous around his new acquaintance.

"Interesting name…" Masaomi mused but shrugged it off. "Well, nice to meet ya, Mikado! I have the feeling that we're going to be the best of friends."

Mikado smiled and inside, he was hoping for the same thing.

Soon enough, the first years were herded into the Great Hall and the sorting began. Mikado's knees began knocking together when Masaomi left his side to be sorted; he didn't want to be alone, he really didn't want to be alone. Once the hat was perched atop Masaomi's head, the talking hat yelled out, "Gryffindor!" and the blond was on his way to the house's table. After that, all that was left was the agonizing wait until his name was called…

"Ryuugamine, Mikado!"

And once his name was called, he almost had a heart attack. The small boy slowly made his way up to the front, embarrassed as he took a seat. Where was he going to be placed? Was it going to be a good place with nice people? He hoped he would be in the same house as Masaomi…

He froze once he felt the hat being lowered onto his head. He began praying, hoping, that he would be placed in a house with nice people… like Masaomi. Mikado squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for the inevitable…

"Gryffindor!"

Eh?

He slowly opened his eyes. That was it?

In moments, the hat was off his head and Mikado started to walk over to the Gryffindor table, relieved at how fast it was.

"Dude!" Masaomi suddenly embraced him, grinning from ear to ear. "We're in the same house! This year is going to be so awesome!"

"I-I hope so…" Mikado smiled meekly and deep down, he knew that this year would definitely be something else.
