It had been a very hot July day on number 4 privet drive. The school term had ended five days ago and Harry James Potter a k. a The Boy Who Lived was sitting in his room on his bed trying to come to terms with the events of the third task of the Triwizard tournament, which was weighing heavily on his mind. His cousin Dudley was as usual out and about causing trouble with his gang of friends, while his parents thought that he was at tea. As he got up from the bed and went to his window and looked out at the view of the Dursleys back lawn which was rapidly becoming brown due the ban on sprinklers because of the drought the country was going through. As he looked out over the lawn he felt a dull twinge of pain in the area around his forehead. The pain in his forehead had become a common thing after the rebirth of Voldemort during the third task As he continued to think hard about the what had happened he failed to notice a faint popping sound outside and the sound of a door opening. What he did not miss was his aunts Petunia's frightened scream. “AUNT PETUNIA!” Harry screamed as he ran out of his room and down the stairs, while he might not have been that fond of his aunt and her family she was still one of the last living connections he had to his parents. As he ran into the kitchen he had his money pouch with him that contained a fair many galleons, sickles and knuts, The person he saw there surprised him so greatly that he could not help but cry out their name “P-Professor Dumbledore!!!”

 

 

If Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was surprised to see one of his students brandish a money sack like a club at him, he hid it well. When Harry realized who was in his kitchen he let the sack fall to his side. “W-What are you doing here sir” asked Harry as he started to calm down. “Well Harry” said Dumbledore “there are some very important matters that I must discuss with you.” “If you” he continued “would consent I would like for you to return to Hogwarts with me so that we may discuss these matters in relative privacy.” “Professor”, Harry responded still slightly nervous “does something to do with what happened at the end of the school year?” Looking at Harry with his usual twinkle in his eye Dumbledore responded “Yes it does, but before we continue I would like to be inside Hogwarts. So if you would collect all your things we can be on our way.” Harry barely able to deal with the fact that he would be leaving his relatives home earlier then he ever imagined managed to squeak out a “Yes Sir!” Before spinning around and running out of the room and up the stairs. As the aged headmaster heard his student run up the stairs he turned his attention to Petunia Dursley who had been surprisingly silent the entire time Harry had been with them. When he was face to face with her he said “well Petunia I feel it is only right to tell you that agrees to what I plan to offer him Harry will not be returning at the end of this school year instead he may possibly return at the end of his sixth year it really all depends on how things turn out.” Petunia Dursley still too frightened to speak could only nod. “Well then” said Dumbledore “I believe I will see how Harry is doing with his packing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Harry ran up the stairs heading toward his room he noticed that for the first time since Cedric's death he felt happy. He knew it wouldn't last and that the guilt of what happened would overtake him eventually but he decided to hang on to this feeling for as long as possible. As he reached his room he started grabbing his things his school books, owl treats, spare cloths and some of the books of Dudley's (that Dudley would never read) that were stashed in Harry's room such as Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. He didn't know how long he was going to be gone and he thought he should have more to occupy him then just his summer homework. When he had put almost all his things away he walked over to his Female snowy owl Hedwig, as he opened her cage he said to her “Girl I need you to fly to Hogwarts and stay there I will see you when I get there.” With an affectionate nip of her beak on Harry's finger Hedwig flew off to do what he had asked of her. After he watched her fly off Harry put Hedwig's cage in his trunk and closed it. As he looked around his now slightly barren room he noticed Professor Dumbledore standing at his door waiting patiently for him. “Well Harry are you ready to go?” asked Dumbledore “Yes sir” said Harry “But how are we getting to Hogwarts?”

“Oh that's simple” replied Professor Dumbledore as he pulled out of his robes an old sock “ We will be traveling by portkey to the Shrieking Shack and then we will walk to Hogwarts via the tunnel leading to the Whomping Willow. From there we will go to my office.” With that said Dumbledore used a shrinking charm on Harry's trunk making it the size of a ring box before picking it up and handing it to Harry who put it in his pocket for safe keeping. With that done Dumbledore handed Harry a part of the sock and activated the portkey when Harry had a firm grip. After the feeling of being pulled by ones belly button took hold Harry found himself in a dank room with boarded up windows which offered little light. After they had composed themselves the duo went downstairs and into the secret passage under the shack, while they were walking they stayed silent. As reached the Whomping Willow exit Harry felt a small twinge of nervousness, every experience he had ever had with the tree was bad, Almost as if he was reading Harry's mind Dumbledore said “Don't worry Harry I have this all taken care of.” As he spoke Dumbledore walked ahead of Harry and up to the exit where he pressed the switch to cause the tree to freeze. From there they walked to the castle an to the statue of the Gargoyle to which Dumbledore said “Peppermint Toads” causing the Gargoyle to hop out of the way allowing the duo to enter. When they entered the office Dumbledore sat down behind his desk and gestured for Harry to take a seat as well. After Harry had gotten comfortable Dumbledore said to him “As I said at your aunts house there are some very important things I need to talk to you about and there is a very short time in which do so.

 

Harry, who was still a bit confused as to what Professor Dumbledore needed to talk to him about sat straight up in his seat and asked “What do you need to talk to me about. Sir?” “Well” said Dumbledore he looked at Harry with a face that belied no humor “as you know on the evening of the third task Minister Fudge completely rejected the idea that Voldemort had return despite all of our attempts to prove otherwise.” Harry nodded

“Well” continued Dumbledore “since that day Fudge along with the Daily Prophet have launched a smear campaign on you. The purpose of this is to make the British wizard community believe that you are a liar and an attention seeker. The reason I mention this at all is that it puts some plans that I will tell you about soon in jeopardy. Now I have a way to combat this but to do so I must request something of you and I ask that you wait until I am finished telling you what it is?” Harry, who had a very good idea of what the request was nodded.

 

 

With Harry's agreement to stay silent until the end of the request Dumbledore continued “What I need for you to do is for you to give an interview to a reporter that I trust who will then give that interview to several smaller publications in the U.K and several larger ones in France and the United States that I have contacts with that will publish this article. The reason for such a move is to get the word out to the greater wizarding world because the Minister has managed to keep all that has happened strictly internal leaving the rest of the world both muggle and magic in much greater danger. Now if you have any questions that you wish to ask me please do.” Harry who had managed to keep silent the entire time blurted out his first question “ Why me, Why can't I give the information to somebody else and let *them* tell the reporter?” Dumbledore replied “The reason why only you can give the interview is because if it came from anybody else it would be considered hearsay and the papers who are putting themselves at risk by publishing this article will only do so if it comes from you. So Harry the question I must ask you is Will you do it?” Harry thought on it for a few minutes, While he would rather never talk about what had happened ever again he also did not what to endanger the public by leaving them uninformed. So it was very reluctantly that he “Yes.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although he tried very hard to hide it Harry could tell that the Headmaster was relieved by his agreeing to be interviewed though this did nothing to dissuade him from saying what he said to the Professor next “so there were some other things you wanted to talk to me about?” If Dumbledore was surprised by Harry's directness he hid it well because the next words that came out of his mouth were, “Quite right, now tell me Harry are you familiar with Transdimensional Magic?” When Harry shook his head Dumbledore continued “Transdimensional Magic or T.M for short is a fairly new branch of magic that involves using magic to open a gateway between one dimension and another dimension said magic is very difficult to learn and even more difficult to use, In fact there are only 10 people in all of the wizard half of the U.K that studied it and out of those 10 only 2 have the ability to use it. As I recall their names are Mr. Jianliang Chang and Mrs. Shaochung Chang” When Harry heard their names he could not help but wonder if they were related to Cho, Almost as if he were reading his mind Dumbledore responded “Yes they are Miss Chang's parents and they are very respected internationally in their field. Now” said Dumbledore as he readjusted himself in his seat “You may be wondering why I am telling you all this the reason is because I would like to send you away to train” “Train” said Harry surprise obvious in his voice “Train for what and what would I be learning, Where would I be learning it and most importantly why me?” Waiting until Harry had finished his worried questioning Dumbledore responded “ To answer your first question You would be training to defeat Voldemort . To answer your second question, you would be learning the art of Ninjutsu. I will answer your third question shortly but to answer your forth question the reason that you were chosen it is because nearly 15 years ago one Sibyll Trelawney made a prophecy that went like this.

 

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...

 

 

It was after this prophecy that Professor Trelawney was made a teacher here at Hogwarts Now I understand that this is a lot to take in but I must ask that you let me finish my explanation. Roughly 14 years ago I was helping in an experiment involving T.M . During the experiment I was sucked into a portal that took me to an alternate reality. In that reality instead of wizards they had Shinobi or as they are otherwise known ninja. These ninja were capable of the most astounding feats such as jumping long distances or using the elements themselves to attack their enemies. The gateway oddly enough placed me in the office of the leader of one such group of ninjas. The leader was man known as the third Hokage. After 20 minutes of being interrogated by the Third Hokage's personal guards as to who I was and what I was doing there, the Hokage told his guards to leave and the two of us conversed on the differences between our two realities I told him of the wizarding worlds history and he in turn told me of his worlds history.

 

 

 

After nearly a day of conversing I had an idea. I told the Hokage of the prophecy and presented him with the idea that one day I would send the one mentioned in the prophecy to his world to receive training to help that person gain the power to defeat Voldemort After some conversation on the matter he agreed. It was after this conversation that my colleagues on our side of the portal were able to draw me back to our own reality. Naturally after your victory over Voldemort as a toddler I shelved the idea That is until the end of your first year here at Hogwarts when the spirit of Voldemort made his appearance. After that incident I went to the department of Transdimensional affairs and through a much smaller dimensional window I conversed with a slightly older version of the man I had talked with years earlier. I told him that if events continued the way they did I would send you to their reality to receive the aforementioned training. After the events of the Triwizard tournament I talked to him again and told him that If you agreed we would send you there in the next couple of weeks.” Harry lack of questions at this point signaled to Dumbledore that it was okay to continue talking. “Now” he continued “comes some bad news, Up until two days ago our reality and the other reality operated in sync in the way time passed between the two. What I mean to say however much time you spent in one that same amount of time would pass in the other. But because of a change in the dimensional alignments that reality now operates on a 1 to 5 ratio which means that for every year in this reality five pass in theirs. Now this is a blessing and a curse for 1 reason. While if you agree to go you will be with out Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger for 5 years you will have plenty of time to meet new friends and allies who may be willing to return with you to help with our problems. Now if you have any questions now would be the time to ask them.” “Well” stated Harry “ What will I do about O.W.L's? For that matter what about 5th year and what about ageing? If I agree to this by the time I return I will be 19 and finally what do I tell Ron and Hermione?” “Well” replied Dumbledore who once again was readjusting himself in his seat “ In the order that they were asked When you return you will be allowed to take the O.W.L tests during the Summer.

 

 

The Summer O.W.L tests are available to those students that were unable to take the test with the rest of their class as to your fifth year Should you decide to go you will be given the required reading needed for your courses for 5th, 6th and 7th year and you will be allowed to practice your magic when there is time. Because there is no Ministry of Magic in that world you will not have to worry about owls swooping in and giving you letters with reprimands from the Ministry. Should you pass any of your test when you return you will be allowed to Join the rest of your class in 6th year as to the ageing well because of some Transdimensional anomaly that even I don't really understand, When you spend time in another reality where time moves faster then your own you only age half as fast as you would otherwise so when you return you will be 17 years old which while you will still be older then your friends here it will not be by quite so much. Finally as to what you should tell your friends, they already know and have said they will support you in what ever you do Now you most likely want to take some time to think about all this the Gryffindor tower is open to you the password for now is Wild Moor. When you have taken some time to think this through return to my office and tell me your answer, we will continue from there.

 

 

 

 

 

After Harry entered the Gryffindor common room he sat on one of the recliners and thought about what Dumbledore had told him and about the offer that he had been given. Contrary to what Professor Snape believed Harry was not dumb it didn't take him much time to figure out that the prophecy meant that either he would have to kill Voldemort or Voldemort would kill him and the training that he could get in the alternate reality might allow him to stand a chance against Voldemort. On the other hand accepting this offer would mean that he would be unable to see his friends for several years. Then again Ron and Hermione had given their approval of this plan and their approval meant a lot to him. After 2 hours of thought Harry went back down to Dumbledore's Office and after he had made himself comfortable He spoke “Professor Dumbledore I've made my decision.” “What” said Dumbledore “is your decision? I'll do it.” He then asked “So what do we do now? “Now” replied Dumbledore “Your physical training begins the next two weeks will be dedicated to getting you in the best shape possible for your journey. They of course will train you when you arrive but it would be best if you got started on it early.” “Well then” Dumbledore “lets get started”

 

 

 

 

TWO WEEKS LATER

 

 

 

The last two weeks had been hectic for Harry Between the Interview, his physical training and his birthday he had barely had time to be by himself on any given day. Today was the day he would travel to the alternate reality. With him he had a new trunk that was exactly like Moody's almost all of the compartments were filled with various supplies. The first two compartments were filled with books lots of books most of them were the standard course books for the next 3 years worth of schooling the rest of the books were books that covered various curses, charms and spells. The third and forth compartments were occupied by cloths and potion ingredients and potion paraphernalia surprisingly donated to him by Professor Snape. None of those ingredients were volatile and in any regard they were stored in such a way that they would not break even during the rockiest of travels. The fifth and sixth compartment were filled with various dragonhide cloths and some joke items from Zonko's. The last compartment was empty any thing he wanted to put in there while in the other world would go there. After he closed the trunk Dumbledore put a shrinking charm on his trunk and Harry put it in his pocket and sealed that pocket shut As he looked around he saw that the almost every body in the order of the phoenix was present including Hermione, Ron and the rest of the Weasley clan (sans Percy ). Mr. and Mrs. Chang were there as well (not surprising given that they were the ones that would Open the gateway). What was surprising was that Cho was there as well, He figured it had something to do with the interview which had been released in mass 3 days before . The gate was going to be opened at Hogwarts in the Great hall because was large enough to hold the crowd that had gathered and then some. Dumbledore as an after thought cast a spell on Harry that he said cause him to learn the language that the natives of that dimension spoke the moment he make physical contact with some body on the other side of the portal.

 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Chang stepped forward and Mr. Chang spoke to the assembled crowd. “If you are ready we would like to start now.” With a nod from the assembled group, the two adult Changs stepped up to the area where the teachers table usually stood and started chanting in a strange language that Harry had never heard before After five minutes of chanting they yelled in unison “DIMENSIONAI TRANSPORTIUM” With the last word spoken a tear formed in the area in front of the teachers table after a few minutes the tear formed in to an arch. Harry stepped forward and turned around giving a slightly sad wave to everybody before walking into the portal. After Harry had stepped through the portal the Changs released their hold on the gate way and it slowly started to close, Just as Ron opened his mouth to speak he felt somebody push their way past him and run towards the gateway. It was only after he regained his composure a second later that he realized that the person who had run past them was Cho. As the arch became small Cho ran past everybody else and jumped into the shrinking portal just as it closed barring access to that universe for one year Mrs. Chang could only yell “CHO!!” While Ron was the one to voice what every body else was think “Well Shit”

 

(A.N) (Say good bye to the Harryverse characters this will be the last you see of them for a looooong time.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Harry tumbled through the multiverse he could only marvel at the colors that flew past him. After a few more minutes of falling Harry saw a light at the end of the tunnel . When he made contact with the light he felt himself make contact with the ground before falling on his ass. After taking a few moments to adjust his eyes to his surroundings he looked up, standing above him was an old man in white and red robes and a funny hat and a smoking pipe in his hand. When the old man put his hand out to help Harry up he accepted and in at that moment the language absorption spell activated and suddenly Harry found himself with total knowledge of the language of the world he was in (its Japanese folks). After Harry was upright the old man spoke “ Greetings Harry Potter I am Sarutobi Yamato otherwise known as the Third Hokage, On behalf for the village I would like to welcome you to Kono-” Any Thing the Hokage was going to say next was cut off by a feminine scream coming from the closing portal. Just as the portal was about to close completely another person came out of the portal this persons robe covering their face. When the person finally was able to get to their feet Harry could only call out the persons name in surprise. “CHO!!”
