~Tears of a Phoenix~

A Fushigi Yuugi/Harry Potter Crossover

What would it be like if Miaka was ten years old?  What would it be like if the seishi existed in the real world?  And what would it be like if they are all going to one place: the magic school called Hogwarts?

Author's Note: This was inspired by one too many Card Captor Sakura/Harry Potter crossover fics and the rumored title of the fifth book.  I mean, if you're a die-hard FY fan, you usually almost immediately think "Suzaku" after hearing the word "Phoenix", and I heard the fifth book's title is "The Order of the Phoenix".

DISCLAIMER: J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter.  Yuu Watase owns Fushigi Yuugi.  My name is neither Yuu Watase nor J.K. Rowling.  Therefore, I own neither Harry Potter nor Fushigi Yuugi.  I am so broke I can't even buy a new anime video right now, so it'd be pointless to try to sue me.

An Introduction of the Characters:

I will list the characters, and describe those I have changed/made a character for if they didn't appear in the series.  All of the ones under the four main gods are ten or eleven years old, so imagine them as halfway chibified if you know what they look like.  I won't be describing them.  The names are first name and then last name in this list, but in the story they may appear the opposite way.  The real names of the seishi are in parentheses.

And now for the real part of the story…

~Prologue~

One year ago, an evil man, whom no one was quite sure if he was even human anymore, attacked a house owned by James and Lily Potter.  The man killed both James and Lily with a powerful and evil curse that no one had ever survived.

The man's name was feared throughout the wizard world.  It was Voldemort.

Then, an event that would lead to great rejoicing throughout the wizards' world occurred.  Voldemort tried to kill the child of James and Lily, a young boy that carried the name of Harry.  But it was not the attempted murder of the child that was barely one year old that caused the rejoicing.  Rather, it was when the curse backfired, leaving Harry with only a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

Voldemort was not as fortunate.  When the curse that he had used to kill so many backfired, the man was nearly killed.  He was left almost powerless and without a body, and so he retreated and hid while he sought to regain the dark powers that once lay so easily within his grasp.

And slowly the magical world recovered from the blows the darkness of Voldemort had struck.

~Chapter 1~

"Keisuke!" whined Yuuki Miaka at her older brother.  "Why do you always get to go to a private school, but I have to stay here and study?"  Ten-year-old Miaka pouted as her fifteen-year-old brother carried a trunk to the living room that he never, ever let her look into.  She always felt that something strange was in it, and her curiosity was almost overwhelming.  However, for the last five years she had held herself back because of her mother's orders to never, ever look into the trunk.

"It's because I was accepted to the school and you weren't," replied Keisuke seriously.  Miaka pouted.

"I can speak English just as well as you can!  I don't see why you're so much more special than me!"

"It's because-" Tap. Tap. Tap.  A clicking noise against the window made both Miaka and Keisuke look up in surprise.  An owl was standing on the window and holding a letter in its beak.

While Miaka stared, Keisuke went to open the window like it happened to him everyday.  The owl, a brown barn owl still slightly sooty from the polluted air of Tokyo, dropped the letter inside once it was perched safely on the windowsill.  Miaka, overcoming her astonishment, ran forward and picked it up.  It was addressed in English to her.

The envelope seemed to be of a yellow parchment and the address was written in bright green ink to a "Ms. M. Yuuki".  She flipped it over, and it was sealed close with a purple wax seal that was made of a large letter H surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.  If she had looked up from the letter right then, she might have noticed the surprised look that covered his face.

Slowly she broke open the seal and took out the letter inside.  She had slight trouble reading it, but she was still able to understand the English.  "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  Headmaster: Albus Fumblebore-"

"It says 'Dumbledore'," Keisuke corrected.

"Albus Dumbledore," she repeated dutifully.  "Dear Ms. Yuuki," she began to read the body of the letter.

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1.  We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall, [1]

"Deputy Headmistress," finished Miaka.  She looked puzzled, and there seemed to be a couple of question marks hanging over her head.

"Well, Miaka, it looks like you'll be going to my school from now on," said Keisuke as he slapped Miaka playfully on the back.

"Eh?  You go to this school?"

"That's right!" he said with a wink.  "I'm learning to be a wizard!  You'll be a witch, which is a female wizard."

Her mouth was wide open at his straightforward acceptance of magic.  Finally she was able to spit out a question.  "W-Where is Hogwarts?  How come the letter is written in English?"  The English was the reason that she knew it couldn't be a fake.  Her brother couldn't write neatly in English to save his own life.  And the owl helped to convince her, too.

"It's in England?  Is that the only magic school?"

Keisuke shook his head.  "Nope.  There's at least one in Japan, but the people in Tokyo get to go to Hogwarts because it's safer there.  A few things have been happening the past few years in the wizard world, and since that began the wizards in Tokyo have gone to England to train."

"Oh."  She thought about it for a while and looked at the letter.  "What do they mean by they await my owl?"

"They mean that you reply to them by sending a letter with this owl!  Here, I'll do it for you."  He ran into his room and came out with a real quill pen, a bottle of ink, and some parchment.  Then he sat down at the living room table and scratched out a message in English.  He read it out loud as he wrote.  "Dear… Prof. McGonagall… My little sister, Yuuki Miaka, has got the invitation.  She'll be going to Hogwarts.  Sincerely, Yuuki Keisuke...  P.S.  You're the best Transfiguration teacher in the whole world!"

Keisuke blew on the ink to let it dry, and then he rolled up the parchment and handed it to the barn owl that was still sitting impatiently on the windowsill.  The owl grabbed it quickly and flew off with a slightly annoyed hoot.

Keisuke turned to see Miaka staring at him with a sweat-drop.  "You were sucking up again, Oniichan."

He grinned as Miaka checked out the other contents of the envelope.  There were three things.  One was a supplies list and the other was a ticket for a subway train.  The third was a note that read, "All of those going to Hogwarts should take the subway to the National Library on August 25.  Meet Hagrid there to be transported to the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley.  In the week before term starts, you can buy your supplies.  Bring money for your supplies!"

Miaka blinked.  "Are the supplies that expensive?"

Keisuke nodded.  "But don't worry; they'll be cheaper this year than they have been for a while.  Also, you don't have to buy most of those books because I have them.  And for anything you do need," he grinned, "we can always borrow money from Tetsuya!"

"NANI?  Kajiwara Tetsuya is a wizard, too?"  Miaka thought of the rich kid that always wore sunglasses and couldn't believe that he was a wizard, too.

"Oh, yeah!" Keisuke said enthusiastically.  "I used to owe him a whole lot of money, but Mom's been helping me pay it off and I'm better at practical magic than he is.  He takes some of the debt away whenever I practice some of the theories he makes up!"

"What does he make theories about?"

"One time he made a formula for a potion that will give you any hair color and hair length you want permanently!  It just needs a charm to get it working.  When it worked, he paid me big time for that one!  I almost brought my debt to ZERO!"  His eyes got starry.  "It was so cool!"

Miaka sighed.  "Oniichan, you're hopeless," as the phone rang.  She ran over to pick it up.  "Moshi moshi?"

"Miaka, is that you?" asked a voice that Miaka recognized

"Yes, it's me, Yui-chan."  She had always gone to school with Hongou Yui, but she supposed that she couldn't anymore.  That saddened her.  "Listen, Yui-chan, I won't be going to the same school anymore."

"What?  I called to tell you the same thing!"

"Eh?  Really?  What school are you going to?"

"It's called Hogwarts," she replied.

"Wow!  Is it in England?  I think I'm going to the same one!"

"You're going to Hogwarts, too?  That's so great, Miaka!   We'll still be going to the same school!"

"Sugoi!  And you know what else?  Oniichan is a wizard, too!"

"He is?  That's great!  I have a ton of questions I want to ask!"

"Okay, Yui-chan.  Why don't you come over sometime soon?  Then we can talk all we want!"

"Okay, Miaka!  I'll come by later!  Sayonara!"

*******

A couple of months (and a subway ride) later…

Miaka and many other children her age, as well as older ones, departed the comfortable first-class green train and walked to the National Library at nine o' clock at night.  All of them were carrying suitcases full of their things.

A sign said that the library was closed, but Tetsuya proved to everyone that the door was unlocked simply by pushing on it.  They all walked inside, and in the lobby was a gigantic man wearing a shaggy brown overcoat.  He had messy black hair and an equally chaotic beard.  He was smiling warmly as the last of them entered.

"Hello, everyone!" he said in heavily accented English.  "There's a lot of new faces this year!  Have yeh been doin' all right, everybody?  Are yeh ready for yer firs' year at Hogwarts?"  Judging by the confusion on some faces, they couldn't understand English very well.

"Or fifth year!" protested Keisuke.

"Or fifth year," agreed Hagrid.  "Jus' don' go in the Forbidden Forest this year, Yuuki, or else yeh might not make it to yer sixth!  Now 'ere's the thing.  We're 'sposed to use a set of books as the Portkey this year, but I can't find it!  Does anyone remember what it was?  Dumbledore told yeh last year."

People glanced back and forth at each other.  Most of them didn't know what a Portkey was, let alone what it was this year.  It appeared that they were stuck.
