Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Zero ❯ Zero ( Chapter 1 )

Summary: There are secrets about Wing Zero and its system. More importantly—why they seem so lifelike. Harry Potter Gundam Wing Crossover. Oneshot for now.

 

Zero

 

Harry sighed. It had been years since everything had ended. Voldemort; the war; everything. He was now eighteen—so really it hadn't been that long, only two years, but it felt like forever anyway. It was also driving him nuts as he had lost everyone. Ron. Hermione. Ginny. Neville. Everyone he was close to. Molly Weasely. Arthur Weasley. Bill. Charlie. Fred. George. Even Dumbledore, the man he looked up to, and the man who betrayed him. That was where he was now, another battle, with Albus Dumbledore instead of Voldemort.

 

This battle had been raging onwards for many hours, nearing upon a day as it was. It was beginning to get tiring. He was tiring even! His magic was depleting and he felt the end was near. Nay, he knew it was near, and he knew he'd lose. He'd die and that was that.

 

“Checkmate Harry.”

 

Harry groaned and hung his head, mumbling profanities before glancing up at the Headmaster of Hogwarts, old and decrepit.

 

“Shall I go then, Professor?” Harry asked softly. “I lost.”

 

“That you shall Harry. Goodnight my boy. Tempus.”

 

Harry stared at the Headmasters eyes one last time before glancing at the clock. That one glance was all that was needed. Harry Potter fell into a deep sleep and was no more.

 

Dumbledore sighed.

 

“Good game my son. Goodbye.”

 

The old man stood and left the room, taking one last glance at the chess board, and Harry Potter, standing there with his eyes closed, incased in blue ice crystal, timed to sleep forever until he was needed again.

 

With that one last glance Headmaster Albus Dumbledore left the decaying school to its ruins. The boy was definitely powerful.

 

…(A.C. Era during Gundam Construction)

 

Doctor J stared at the castle ruins upon Earth. It was just outside Sanq Kingdom and his monitors detected Gundanium within the castle walls. He needed that metal, and he needed a way inside. The place was so old it was a hazard to health to even enter. Still it was amazing that the castle stood, even after the thousands of years it had been. Sucking in a breath J decided to risk it. He needed that metal.

 

The Scientist entered slowly, carefully stepping over the rock and watching his footsteps. He followed the direction his monitor gave to where it said the Gundanium was. He paused when he found, in his path, was a stone Gargoyle that seemed to be encased in crystal ice. J stared at the Gargoyle for several moments.

 

“The password's Rocks,” someone said from behind him. J jumped and gasped.

 

“Who are—“

 

“This is my home. Have you come to visit?” asked a boy of eighteen. “Anyway, to get in the password is Rocks. Go on, just say it. Who knows, maybe you'll be the One. I haven't had a visitor in years.”

 

`Rocks? Password? Is there…technology within this decrepit old castle?'

 

“Go on. Say it. I haven't had visitors in a while.”

 

Frowning J decided to see what would happen.

 

“Rocks.”

 

J's eyes widened when he saw the Gargoyle move slightly. The boy frowned.

 

“How interesting…you shall train the One. Hermes, give him entrance, I will see you soon I suppose, Doctor J,” the boy faded away and J gaped. He turned around only to find the Gargoyle had entirely moved. Blinking J quickly scrambled up the stairs, which was covered in the same crystal, before reaching a door which seemed relatively untouched through the years. J opened the door slowly and gasped. The room…it was all crystal!

 

With one brief thought J grinned. He turned and paused before turning again to view what appeared as the same boy, frozen in the blue ice crystal that took the whole room, as well as a chess board that sat beside him.

 

`That is the boy…but he's been crystallized…what is going on? Well this will make a perfect place anyway. I just need to set everything up correctly and…' J paused when the device in his hand beeped crazily, energy charts rising off of the scale as it pointed to the crystallized boy. `Yes, this place will be perfect,' J thought faintly, and quickly raced away.

 

…(roughly ten years later)

 

“Where is that blasted boy, honestly, running off again and again….”

 

“He is but a child, though he must fight at the age of fourteen. Leave him be and continue with our machine and its tests. I think you may find the child there…”

 

“What!?” J whirled around but saw nothing. Sighing he stood. “Well I guess it is time I started working on the system again, but nothing seems to be strong or concentrated enough!” Mumbling darkly J stalked back down the hall and paused when he spotted a small crystal ice piece. He frowned, briefly remembering all that energy from the boy frozen in that one room. His frown turned contemplative as he moved and picked up the crystal piece. He brought it to the light to examine it before sighing. “What the hell, it's worth a shot.”

 

J turned and left, never noticing the smiling boy of eighteen in a corner.

 

…(four years later)

 

“This should go here, and this here, and this…” there was a spark and the power went out. J cursed the heavens. It messed up again! What could be the damn prob—J stopped his inner cursing and blinked in surprise as the lights blinked back on and a quiet hum took over his lab, he turned to the Gundam that he built and the power source he had plugged into it. It was working. J grinned and gave thanks.

 

The power went out again.

 

J cursed.

 

…(two years after the Mariamaia Incident)

 

Heero frowned at the request he found on his laptop. It was from Une. He scowled and read it again.

 

Yuy,

 

We have discovered the base where J and the other doctors created the Gundams. We also found several of J's notes throughout his work…and J's body. His last entry is what confuses me; it will not be contained within this note. The others have been called to my office already and are awaiting the debriefing. Your presence is required.

 

Une.

 

Heero scowled, wondering what they meant about J's body. Oh he knew about the base, he grew up and trained there for ten years, but J's body? Something wasn't adding up.

 

Quickly Heero stood and headed towards Une's office. Something was going on, and he would find out what.

 

…

 

Une looked up when the door opened and Heero stepped inside to stand by his fellow pilots.

 

“Good, you're here. Now, we recently had a team go out to one site where Gundanium was first found according to the records of S, but what we found was not Gundanium. We found the original base of operations where J and the others first created the Gundams originally.

 

After a bit of searching we found J's office, and within was J's journal. Now I had the journal sent to me immediately after they found it, but that wasn't all they found in J's office. Within J's office was J himself, frozen in blue crystal with a bloodied wound in his chest. His frozen hand was clutching the open journal and a pen. This was the last entry.” Une pushed a button on her desk and a page out of the journal appeared on the screen.

 

`This entry is for 01.

 

Today is the date of my death. I do not fear my death as I have expected it the moment the Gundams were created. I know how I will die and I know why as well.

 

When I was younger I discovered this place and it's Gundanium, but that was not what surprised me. What surprised me was that there was one room locked off by what appeared to be a blue crystalline ice. The account of what happened was surprising to even me, but my discoveries with this crystalline ice are what made Wing Zero and the Zero system work.

 

As I write this even now I still see the child of eighteen, stand beside me, when I know he does not exist. I have seen his body; it is in that room frozen in that crystalline ice. All I know is that he waits for “The One” who will come and free him from his frozen prison. He has not shared anything else with me.

 

01, this message is specifically for you. When it is finished I will cease to exist.

 

I want you to head to the frozen Gargoyle. It is some form of doorway. To get through there is a password—Rocks. No one can open this doorway besides you. Once inside head up the stairs to the room. It is covered in the crystal. There you will find the boy. I am told you will know what to do.

 

Mission accepted or declined?

 

Never mind, I know that answer.

 

J.'

 

“You can't clearly see this on this computer, but scribbled in the corner is the date of the entry,” Une stated. “This entry ended the day Operation Meteor began.”

 

“What do you want us to do?” Quatre asked.

 

“I want you to follow the instructions J has sent out for Heero. Yuy, I trust that you will get to the end of this, and I trust that I will have a full report as soon as you five get back. Now go.”

 

The five piled out.

 

“Soooooo, where are we going again?” There was the click of a safety going off and a nervous laugh. “Ah heh, never mind!”

 

…

 

“Heero, where are we going?” Quatre asked after five hours of hiking through fields and bushes which came after one hour of a car ride which came after three hours of flight. “Did Une give you directions?”

 

“Iie. I grew up in that castle,” Heero stated calmly. “It was my home until J finished Wing.”

 

“Castle?” Wufei asked.

 

“Hai. J and the other doctor's original base was a castle. We never learned its name or the castle's origin. All we knew was that it had been standing since before the AC years.”

 

Duo whistled as they came over one last hill.

 

“Is that it?” the braided pilot asked.

 

“Hai.”

 

“Wow.” Duo stared at the castle, as well as Wufei and Quatre, for a moment before racing to catch up with Heero and Trowa. The others following right after him.

 

“Is this place stable?” Trowa questioned.

 

“Hai. It has always been stable for a fading castle.”

 

Trowa nodded.

 

“Come on, let's get inside, it'll rain soon,” Heero spoke in his usual monotone.

 

“What, how do you—”

 

“It's July 31st. It always storms on July 31st. The lake floods and you can't get in or out of the castle until the fifth of August. Hurry.” Heero started to race up the hill towards the entrance to the castle. Heeding pilot 01's warning the others followed after quickly.

 

…

 

“This place is covered in more of the crystal than I remember…” Heero mumbled once they found a room that wasn't covered in crystal, used as some sort of lab (which most were covered in the crystal and seemed to have been undiscovered as Une had given them no reports on other bodies, and there sure as hell were other bodies), or entirely decimated, and had a fireplace, they set up “base” or “camp” and began to plan.

 

“Yuy, are there any floor plans for this castle?” Wufei questioned.

 

“Iie, but I know my way around,” Heero replied. Grabbing a pen and paper he began to sketch out a rough drawn map of the castle. “Not many come here fearing it'll fall apart on their heads. That was why it made a perfect base. It also holds Gundanium.” Wufei accepted the answer with slight surprise and watched as Heero drew a basic map. “We're on the first of seven floors. It's hard to reach the other seven as most of the stairs are destroyed. J made a device once but I have no clue where he stored it or even if it still works. I haven't really been up many of the floors. The highest I've been is the fourth, and that was by stairs and passageways that are still in order.

 

“Now, the place with the Gargoyle is where we want to go, that's on the fifth floor, unfortunately, and I have never really been up there except once, and that was with J's help. Once I think I found a possible way, but we'll need to clear some debris. We do either that or we find J's invention and see if it works.” Heero finished drawing his rough map. “Now, we're here and the stairwell area is here. It's about….” Heero continued to explain the distances and possible timing it'll take to get to certain places, plus the need of building camp a few times. Heero didn't know what still existed in this old castle, and told the others to be wary as well. Things weren't always what they seemed here, and Heero ought to know, he grew up here.

 

A basic plan formed the others began to set up for bed, but Heero stayed awake, not yet ready to go asleep. He was also alert as he had been feeling a presence watching them the entire time, and once thought he saw a flash of black but he was unsure. The pilot of Wing quickly checked that the others were asleep before moving to speak with Duo, the only one awake, as Heero knew he would be.

 

“So you sensed it too?” Duo asked softly as he sat up.

 

“Hai.”

 

“What should we do? If there is another inhabitant—”

 

“Oh there's no one else.” Heero quickly drew his gun and aimed it at a figure that stood right next to the two pilots, grinning slightly. The safety clicked off and the person laughed. He looked to be about the age of eighteen, with black hair and deep green eyes that reflected much pain. The man wore robes of black in an unknown material, pants that looked to be made of leather, a shirt made of the same material as the robes, and boots that were made from another material entirely. The man had gloves made in the same material as the boots, and his black hair lay in a mess upon his head. His eyes held laughter mixed with the pain. “Haven't seen you in a while, bon.” (I got “bon” from Yami no Matsuei. Watari calls Hisoka “bon” in the anime and I kinda liked it. I think it means something like “boy” or “kid” as Watari calls him in the manga can't exactly remember)

 

“Who are you. Who do you work for. What are you doing here,” was all the man got in reply. The man gave out a sigh and plopped down beside Duo who scooted towards Heero the minute the man sat beside him. The man pouted.

 

“Aw well, 'tis to be expected…” the man mumbled, before saying louder, “You can call me Zero, that's what that old man, Doctor J I think, called me after he found me. As to what I'm doing here…I live here. This is my castle. Oh and I work for no one. Learned that one the hard way.”

 

“`Learned that one the hard way'…? What's that supposed to mean?” Duo asked.

 

“Just as it sounds,” Zero scowled. “I worked for some people and got betrayed in the end. Was an interesting experience to learn that the human race can be such a pain in the fucking arse—not to mention down right nasty. Hate to be one of 'em now.” At their confused stares (though they would never admit it) Zero added, “I'll explain later. I've depleted enough energy for tonight. I'll see you again tomorrow I suppose. At least until you reach Hermes. He's the Gargoyle.” Zero stood and walked away with a backwards wave as he said this; with each step he slowly faded, leaving both Duo and Heero in shock.

 

“Did you just see…what I just saw, Hee-chan?” Duo asked softly. Heero just gave a nod.

 

Tonight was full of surprises. Heero actually showed emotions. Oh, and that man disappeared into thin air too.

 

…

 

Three nights had gone by so far and the man had yet to show up again. Heero and Duo were beginning to think it was a figment of their imagination, having seen him three nights ago. In those three nights (and three days) they had traveled up to the third floor and hit a dead end. Wufei had gone out exploring for an hour before night began to fall. He had returned an hour ago and all were asleep besides Heero and Duo, again.

 

“Hey, sorry I haven't seen you in a while, I guessed I used up more energy than I thought when I met you. Honestly, to put me out of commission for three days.” Duo jumped while Heero trained his gun on Zero, who randomly appeared before them (without their knowing) again.

 

“Jeez buddy, don't do that!” Duo cried softly.

 

“Gomen nasai,” Zero replied.

 

“You know Japanese?” Heero questioned.

 

“Aa, J taught me some after he first found me. Although I think he believed I wasn't paying an ounce of attention. I was kind of tinkering around with his things at the time. Made him made as hell that did,” Zero replied. Heero raised an inquisitive eyebrow. “Once we get to see each other face to face I'll tell you everything,” Zero told Heero. “You deserve it. You're gonna be my savior, ne?” Zero gave a soft smile to Heero.

 

“Savior?”

 

“You'll see,” was all Zero would reply.

 

Suddenly there was a loud crash and a hiss from Zero. The other pilots jerked awake just as Zero told Heero and Duo to “get everyone to the fourth floor, fifth room on the third corridor, and stay there until I get you” before Zero raced out of the room, surprising the other three. Even more surprising was that both Duo and Heero followed the man's orders (although the other three knew not of this) and packed everything quickly, making a mad dash towards the way Wufei had found earlier to the fourth floor. Heero then directed them to the third corridor, counting the rooms as they raced by. He shoved everyone in, glanced around, before racing inside himself and shutting the door as quietly, and quickly, as he could. The five could hear more crashes and screams, yells, yelps, growls, and overall sounds of fighting below them.

 

“Heero? What's going on?” Quatre asked.

 

“I'd like to know the answer to that as well, Yuy,” Wufei growled.

 

Duo shushed them as it suddenly went quiet. All five tensed as hurried footsteps came down the corridor and the door swung open. A black head popped in and grimaced.

 

“Hurry up and follow me. It'll get loose within the hour and we still have to trek a long ways to Hermes. My crystal can't hold it for long, I've used up to much energy to visit you tonight, bon. Come on! Hurry! Quit gaping like a bunch of idiots! You heard me! Are you deaf!?” That got all five scrambling after the man, Quatre staring at him confusedly.

 

Zero herded them up a pair of stairs hidden behind a tapestry and then down another corridor on the fifth floor. They continued much like this for a long while before Zero paused to listen. Hearing nothing he let out a soft breath.

 

“We're safe, for now. It hasn't followed us and the sun will rise in two hours,” Zero mumbled.

 

“Excuse me, but…what are you?” Quatre asked, startling all of them. Zero stared at the blonde in surprise.

 

“What am I…? What do you—oh! You're an empath,” Zero smiled.

 

“Yes, but what are you? I can't sense anything—”

 

“That's because I'm here, but not here,” was the smart reply that Quatre got.

 

“What—”

 

“I'll be seeing you in three hours,” Zero stated. “Get you're two hours of sleep. I'll be waiting for you in my room. Remember…it's `Rocks' bon.”

 

Zero disappeared with another wave as he walked away.

 

“`Waiting for you in my room'? `Rocks'? Yuy, isn't that the password through the Gargoyle that J spoke of?” Wufei questioned.

 

“Could he be…the boy in that room?” Quatre speculated.

 

“It's possible, but highly improbable,” Trowa stated.

 

“Hey…did he say `my crystal'?” Duo asked.

 

Heero scowled but gave the order for sleep. Everyone, including himself, did so. As Zero said, they'd get their answers in three hours.

 

Hopefully.

 

…

 

They were here. They were in front of the Gargoyle that was crystallized in that blue crystal ice and there was no sign of technology anywhere.

 

“Well, why don't you say it, Hee-chan?” Duo questioned after Heero had searched the surrounding area. Heero scowled but guessed it was the only way.

 

“Rocks.”

 

The Gargoyle slid to the side, revealing crystallized stairs (much like the hallway was actually—in fact, all of the fifth floor seemed to be crystallized, and it certainly wasn't when Heero was here) which all five glanced at warily before Heero began to walk up them, followed slowly by Quatre, then Trowa, Wufei, and after a moments hesitation, Duo.

 

At the top of the stairs there was a door, much in the same fashion as the stairs. Heero opened it and they stepped inside. Immediately all pilots gasped.

 

The room was beautiful, ethereal, and deadly. The entire place was covered in the crystal, some areas more heavily than others, creating spikes. The ceiling held its own set of spikes as well. In the far corner there was a crystallized desk, on it sat paper, which after a moment's study revealed to be parchment, as well as an ink well and quill. There was a lamp as well and the walls were lined with shelves filled with the oddest books and trinkets. Up a pair of small steps there was a circular room, where a cozy fireplace sat, likewise crystallized (the entire place was as stated before) with chairs and a table that held a frozen chessboard and pieces from where the game last left off—a checkmate. And there, there beside the chessboard was the man, frozen in the crystal, eyes closed, appearing all for the world asleep. The man was standing, and seemed to be at somewhat peace with the world. He still wore all that he wore when they last saw him, and Quatre, after seeing him, immediately understood what the man said.

 

“`I'm here, but not here',” Quatre whispered in amazement.

 

“Correct.” Quatre jumped around to spot the man, but no one else seemed to see him. “So you know now. I've been projecting myself just to see you all. I'm very much alive, even if my body does not function. It's there, simple frozen in time.”

 

Duo let out a shout of surprise, taking Quatre's attention away just as he was about to ask a question.

 

“Guys look at this!” Duo shouted.

 

Quatre turned back to see the man but he was gone. Shaking it off Quatre raced over towards Duo and gasped as well, followed by a surprised yell of “What!” and a breathless “Masaka” as well as severely wide green eyes. At the back of the man, connecting to the crystal and then through the wall, drilled through it seems, were frozen over wires, crystallized themselves. They hummed though; they hummed with still running power, and Heero could feel it.

 

“He's…the crystal…and it's…” Trowa mumbled in shock.

 

“Generating the entire facility,” said someone from behind them. They all turned around to see the man, Zero, stare at them. “This is the secret on how J created the power to create Wing Zero. My crystal, although I pointed him in the proper direction. His experiments never worked so I laid it out slowly for him. Besides, I needed a way to free myself from time to time. Living in a castle is boring, even if I can stretch throughout the entire thing. Eventually the grounds would be crystallized, and then the forest and its inhabitants, before my crystal would continue to the edge of Hogsmead, which undoubtedly has never been resurrected after that battle….” Zero's eyes saddened but brightened a moment later. “Anyway, you're going to save me now, right, bon? You'll free me, yes? I wasn't wrong, was I?”

 

“Free you…?” Heero questioned.

 

“Yes. From my crystal. I'm very much alive, just frozen. Frozen in time….” Zero trailed off silently and stared into space. “It gets so lonely here. No one comes for fear that my beloved home will fall, and those that do never get the chance to see me, they can't. J was the first after a long time, and I had fun for a while when you showed up, bon, but then…he found the crystal and everything worked perfectly. We talked and he wrote you one last mission before he killed himself. I saved his spirit of course, that's why he and the others were frozen over, so that they could live with me, and I wouldn't be lonely, but eventually they couldn't stay on, and their spirits passed over into the river Styx. It's been like this for years. Someone would come, they would die, I would freeze them, they would stay, and then they would pass on. Even I can't control death. Me, whom hath thwarted him ever since I was birthed from my mother's womb, cannot control death. You never can, because death, though brutal and destructive, is just as human as us, immortal yes, but just as human.”

 

No one noticed but Zero looked straight at Duo as he said this.

 

“So,” Zero stated, coming out of his melancholy mood, “you will free me?”

 

“I don't know how,” Heero said. Zero's face immediately fell.

 

“Another millennia, stuck in time, waiting for nothing,” Zero mumbled before walking over to a corner and cursing in several languages, some even dead or unknown. He let out frustrated yells of anger and actually smashed a few things (by using the crystal they were in) venting as much as he could. All the pilots just stared, before Quatre slowly moved towards the dark haired man whom had, mid rant, wandered over to a different corner and collapsed to his knees in front of something, sobbing his heart out.

 

As Quatre neared he could hear the man's words.

 

“Oh Fawks, why does it have to be like this? Why must I be here? Alone? Am I always destined to be alone? Forever? Everyone I loved and cared for as has died, and I was betrayed by the one I trusted most. Once a pawn always a pawn I suppose. Guess the old bastard really did win, didn't he? Tempus. Why did he have to say Tempus? Why couldn't it have been something else!? Fawks why! WHY!”

 

Quatre paused beside the man before kneeling down. The other pilots had slowly followed him over, but Quatre was the only one to get close enough. The blonde pilot placed a hand on the man's surprisingly solid shoulder and spoke softly.

 

“I know we don't know how to help you, or Heero for that matter,” the blonde spoke, surprising the dark haired, sobbing man, “and I may not understand the pain of being stuck in time, of being alone, but I can tell it hurts you, even though I can sense no emotion from you.” The man looked up into Quatre's blue eyes slowly.

 

“You are the first to have actually touched my projection,” Zero whispered softly, surprised, before he launched himself at Quatre, who caught him, and began to sob into Quatre's chest, which became wet with actual tears.

 

“I don't know how to console you,” Quatre mumbled softly, stroking Zero's hair and tracing soothing patterns on his back, “and I may not know your past and what has happened in it, but I care enough to know that you don't deserve this pain.” Slowly Zero calmed. Eventually he pulled away and smiled gratefully at Quatre.

 

“You are the first to care, and for that I thank you. If you would not mind I would like you all to stay here.” At there shocked faces Zero quickly added, “Not forever! Just a few days. Knowing that I'll have no more visitors for a long while I just want some company, and I'd like to tell you my life, as a thank you for caring, and at least coming all this way. When you have to go I'll protect you and make sure you're safe until you reach past Hogsmead's limits. I can't go any further than that.”

 

Noticing the sincerity in his voice Quatre accepted, and, ultimately, accepted for the others as well.

 

They stayed with Zero for three more days, Zero explaining his life and the things he had gone through. He never gave names, just simple descriptions. He told them it was still painful to relive, but he was thankful for someone to care. Finally it came for the day for them to leave, more importantly they were about to step over Hogsmead's (as Zero had called it) boundaries and Zero could go no further.

 

“I…I will miss you, Quatre,” Zero whispered softly, eyes sad. “I will miss you too, bon. I will miss all five of you. You have come out strong for fighting at fourteen, and I wish you the best of luck and a much healthy life.”

 

“If we can…we'll visit,” Quatre stated, and the others agreed. Zero smiled.

 

“Let me bestow upon you all a gift. A piece of me to keep with you always. Trowa Barton, the one who shares my eyes, take care of the crystalline stag I share with you. The stag represented my father, and I have a feeling we may be related. Wufei Chang, the one who shares a great knowledge, take care of the crystalline wolf I give you. The wolf represented one of my Godfathers. In some ways you can remind me of him. Duo Maxwell, the one who shares my love for mischief, take care of the crystalline Grim. The Grim is a giant dog meant for an omen of death, but also represented my other Godfather. You remind me greatly of him. Heero Yuy, the one who shares many pains I have, take care of the crystalline lily. The lily represented my mother. I feel you should have it.” Zero gave the four their figures, made of the same crystal as he was trapped in, as well as a small leather (seemingly so) tie that the figure was connected to. It formed a necklace of sorts.

 

Zero turned to Quatre.

 

“Quatre Reberba Winner, the one who has cared for me where others have not, the one who has comforted me when none have, and the one who has listened to me when I needed an ear, take care of this small crystal. It has no shape besides that of which it came from. I trust you in the highest, Quatre Reberba Winner, I hope you do not forsake my trust. This crystal is special; it comes from my prison specifically—it is much like a tear for me, since I can shed no true tears, and is etched with protection runes all around it. Please take care of it for me, will you?”

 

“I will, Zero. Thank you very much,” Quatre whispered.

 

“If you ever come to visit I will know the minute you step over the boundaries of Hogsmead as long as you have your crystal with you. Goodbye….”

 

“Goodbye Zero. Take care.”

 

“Always, Quatre; always.”

 

Zero faded away just as the five stepped over the boundary of Hogsmead and left.

 

Inside the castle, past the Gargoyle and into Zero's prison, where a small nick was in the crystal, a crack began to form, zigzagging upwards, and Zero smiled.

 

…

 

What do you guys think? It just popped into my mind randomly. I'm thinking of continuing this, possibly, if any of you think so. I know it's a new story and I have many I haven't updated, but I'm working hard. Currently I'm failing school and have had no inspiration, so I have no clue as to hell where this came from, but I might write more. For now this is a small brief oneshot. I am going to go through and re-read it, edit mistakes, and ship it out asap.

 

Please note that this IS an AU of HP and GW. I'm mixing and blurring things here as my memory sucks. So some things may not be accurate, and because of that, this is an AU, okay?

 

Tell me what you think.
