ranma/harry potter cross Ch1 Before hogwarts At age ten, Ranma was getting fed up of the training trip and had reached his breaking point. He hadnt seen his mother in five years, everytime he made freinds he had to move away without even saying goodbye, and if he ever saw them again they had somehow turned into enemies because of his pops actions so he was feeling very lonely, and his pops constantly beat him even after losing the match 'I'm toughening you up boy' was his excuse. The worst however had happened just a few hours ago, his moronic father had taken him to china having practically peed off everybody in Japan. There he obtained a chinese brochure for a training ground, the springs of Jusenkyou. He had dragged Ranma off, wanting to see this legendary training ground as fast as he could. When they got there a portly guide appeared from a nearby hut and started shouting in Chinese. Genma ignored him and jumped onto a pole. Ranma was curiouse and tried talking to the guide, the guide understood and switched to poor japanese and explainedthe curses. Genma taunted and teased Ranma, trying to get him to fight. Ranma ignored him, being too tired mentaly to be effected by him and also not wanting to get cursed. Genma cursed and leapt down, hitting his sons unprotected back as he walked away. Ranma quickly got up and hit back, a breif spar occures then Genma purposely hits Ranma into a spring. As Ranma hits the water he can feel his body shifting, and a strange and powerfull energy seemed to flood his body, he felt like he was going to burst. He kicked off the bottom and left the pool, dreading what curse he might have, he slowly looked down and noticed his chest had changed a little. He no longer had a toned six pack, instead two small mounds had appeared on his chest, He also noticed that the hair that was dangling in front of his eyes was now red instead of black. He checked further down and placed his hands into his pants, there was nothing, his thing had gone, he was now a girl. Ranma collapsed to her knees and curled up, wrapping her arms around her knees and began to sob. The guide explains about the springs to a shocked genma, 'spring of drowned witch' He tries hot water but it doesnt work. Genma angrily storms towards his child and started ranting about stupid ungrateful child who had ruined all his plans. He kicks her in the back forcing it to arch, uncovering her stomach. He kicks her their a few times when suddenly a bright light flares from Ranma's prone body and Genma is sent flying by a blast of something. He lands in the spring of drowned panda. Ranma suddenly dissapeared with a loud *crack*. Ranma appeares in london, Diagon ally. She's still four months early for school. She is confused by all the wizards who look at her weirdly due to her clothes, a dirty Gi. Looking at the book shops and the wand shop she realises she is in a magical place. She lives on the streets for several months, living off other peoples charity. A few witches who had felt sorry for her had given her a few dresses. At First she wouldnt wear them, having been a guy. But soon the gi gott way too dirty and smelly so she finally wore them. Ranma gets the letter for hogwarts a month befor school and is informed that a needy student fund has been allocated for her and has been deposited in a vault under her name at gringotts. A key had been delivered with the letter. Ranma buys everything she needs second hand except the robes, Those she realised would be best new. Althouge she had enough money for brand new books and equipment, she figured she could save what she could for when she needed it after leaving the school. She is amazed to see a large giant of a man escorting a young boy around her age wearing oversized old baggy clothes. They entered the bank, after they left the large man looked green and he went to the pub while the boy entered the robe shop. She watched the boy leave and look around for the large man, she looked as well and couldn't see him. She decided to go and meet the boy. "Hi, you look almost as bad off as me." She said, gesturing to both of theirs clothes. He looked at her shyly. They exchange names and stories. Hagrid comes back and they leave her behind. She gets on the hogwarts express, already changed into her robes as she wanted to make a good impression on the people who could be her new freinds. Sits with a few girls who are freindly. Whole jouney up to entering the hall. She is sorted into gryffindor, none of the girls she had talked to are in her house, she sighes sadly. She speaks to mcgonnagol about her lack of funds, she tells her that poor students can get a largish sum of money their first year to cover their books and robes and stuff, but afterwards they only get a small sum. If they know they'll need more money, they can take on small jobs were they would be paid. The jobs are usually stuff like helping filch clean or worinking in the kitchen with the house elves, or helping Hagrid maintain the grounds. Ranma chose the last option. Ranma makes freinds with the girls in her dorm room. At first she is embarrased due to having been a boy but soon gets used to it. She ocasionally talks to Harry or Hermione, but they dont really become freinds. Halloween, when quirril runs in shouting about trolls, ranma escapes to find them. She finds a troll stoping around and she fights it while harry fight another in the girls bathroom. Ranma knockes out her troll, then runs away befor any teachers find her. Flitwik and another profeesor find the troll and are puzzled, why is it knocked out? Ranma hears malfoy about the dragon and getting potter into trouble. She tries to tell him but cant find him. Later she waits in the tower and surprises them. She quickly explains. They still forget the cloak and all three are caught as well as neville. All the gryffindors as well as the othr houses except slyherin become hostile to everybody involved for losing so many points. Ranma is upset when her freinds in her room either insult her or ignore her. She is shocked and heartbrocked when so many in gryfindor inclueding her freinds call her the jap bitch and tell her to go home. She becomes depressed and withdrawn, she spends all the time she would have spent with freinds, studying instead. Soon her knowledge and magical skill rapidly increase to almost on par with hermione, earning he lots of points from the teachers for her rapid inprovement and her dedication to study. Even snape gives her points for her perfect potions. A first for gryffindor. After several mothes of loneliness she had more than doubled the points she had lost, so the three houses soon started to warm up to her again. They still ignored harry and the others since they hadn't earned their points back yet. Ranma howver just ignores everybody, she had put entrusted her freindship to others and they broken that freinship for something as stupid as points. She felt that she was destined to never have any freinds since she had never kept a freind for more than a few months. Her formor freinds tryed to act freindly to her, and include her in the group activities like they had before but she ignored them, not wanting to be betrayed agian when she does something alse acidently that they dont like. At first the girls are angry, they feel that they were right to be angry at her, but one of them sees a bit clearer and explains to the others that in Ranma's veiw they had effectively broken the freindships for some as stupid as points and were only willing to take her back when the points were restored. They feel slightly guilty, and hope She would forgive them or at least make some new freinds. Another month passes and Ranma still ignores everybody, despite them trying to get on her good side. The girs had explained how things looked from Ranma's point of veiw and that had spread so everybody sort of understood. One of the girls in the dorm room notices a thick black book left out on Ranma's bed, curiouse she starts to read it. She is horrifies to find it's ranma's diary and it started six years ago. It described the training journy, Making freinds and the leaveing them, the nekoken, past freinds attacking her for revenge on something her father had done to them, gaining a curse but not what curse, teleporting to london and living on the streets, gaining new freinds she finally would't have to leave behind, losing the freinds due to losing all those points and having no oppertunity to gain any more freinds due to everybody hating her, a declaration to never make another freind as she cant every kep them, and finally how betrayed she feels that everybody soon forgets how they had treated her and expect her forget it as well after gaining the points back. She shows the book to the other girls in the room, they are all upset at themselves. Ranma enters, looking as gloomy as ever. The girls all opologise, over and over again. Ranma accepts the opologies and says it's fine. The girls ask her if she want to study with them, she shakes her head no. "I dont want us to become too freindly agian, it would hurt to much when you break the freindship again. Besides who would want to be freinds with a jap bitch?" She quickly leaves. leaving behind a group of shocked girls. Hagrid asks ranma for a favor as she works on the grounds, he wants her to feed fluffy. He gives her a large bucket of meat, and a letter giving her permission to be in the corridor. She agrees not knowing what fluffy is. SHe opens the door, the dog growles at her, she fearfully empties the bucket into a bowl, the dog ignores it and lunges for her, she tries to jump away but it just catches her, clamping its large jaws into her waist. She screams in pain, and attempts to stuns the dog with her wand, it fails. The girls from her dormroom and a few girls in a higher year had been passing near to the corridor when they heard the scream. They rushed in and were shocked at the sight, the dog shook it's left head with Ranma in it's teeth, ripping her wounds more open. The girls all turn green but realise Ranma could die unless they help, they all shoot their spells at the same time, injuring the dog and causing it to drap Ranma to the floor. One of her ex-freinds rushes in and drags her away, out the door. Ranma smiles up weakly at the girl, tears appearing in he eyes. 'Thank you, my freinds.' She whispers before falling unconsciose. One of the older girl picks her up and hugs her to her chest, they run in the direction of the hospital wind, students scattering as they ran. THe nurse is shocked at the wounds, starts to heal her. The girls stay by her bedside, the nurse only allowing it as they have to be quistioned my mcgonagol. They girls explain they heard a scream and about the dog. One of them hands mcgonagol the letter ranma had from hagrid. She pales, knowing the girl was working with him for a bit of extra money, and apparently hagrid still thought huge monstrouse creatures were cute and cuddly. mcgonagol explodes at hagrid, telling him how his irrisposible actions had almost gotten a girl killed. Hagrid cried, it was all his faulght. He like the girl, she was at first cheery but soon became moody. Even then she still talked to him and undertook any task no matter how grueling he asked her too. He had repaid her hard work by risking her life, he would never forgive himself. Hagrid spent much of the next week by ranma's bedside, which had quickly started to overflow with chocolates and gifts from well wishers. Harry, hermione and Ron found hagrid in the hospital, they were shocked at how badly Ranma had been hurt, having seen the dog themselves. Ranma woke up to a large head covered with a big bushey beard. That head was joined with several smaller heads that belonged to her freinds. She smiled shakily at them. THe girls pulled her into a hug, minding her side which was still a bit sore. Ranma received a large amount of money from the school board as compensation, since she had been told to enter the corridor without being informed what was in their. That money would be enoughe to cover the rest of her years in hogwarts but she decided to heep working anyway. The more money the better, plus she needed more robes, that damn dog had torn holes in her best set. Ranma had overheard harry, ron and Hermione talking about the stone, as well as snape trying to steal it. She secided she was bored and would attempt to get it before him. She shoots past fuffy, being prepared for him this time. SHe jumps out of the madragora before they can trap her. She is fights a troll, fracturing a few ribs in an epic battle butsoon knocks it out. She is puzzled by the keys, she leaps into the air and grabs one, trying it in the door. She tries again, and again, knowing that the key could be anything and doesn't have to match the lock in colour or style. Soon she is confused on which keys she had already caught, she thinks for a moment and then continues as before but this time she charms the used keys to change colour to a bright red. Eventuall there are only four keys left to try when she finally finds it and enters the next room. The chess set is easy for her, having had tactics drilled into her head all her life. The potion puzzle had her stumped untill she figures out a way to cheat. She had long since learned to detect poisons so she sniffed the bottles, pickeing out the poisons and the nettle wine, leaving two bottles. She could now use the clue, and chose the right bottle, she took a swig and entered the flames, taking the bottle with her. She stood in front of the mirror, confused. She saw herself in male form being hugged by her mother and surrounded by freinds. She shook her head clear of the sight. 'I thought this would show me the stone?' THe image changed to one of her holding a small red stone, her image winked at her and placed the stone in her pocket. Ranma felt a weight in her pocket and checked, the stone was ther. She left, taking a broom out of the trapdoor. Having grown up with genma she had learned how to protect her valubles from greedy hands. A dojo master had realised Genma's theiving ways and taught her how to access her own personal stuff space, there she could keep anything and nobody could access it. She placed the stone into that space along with a few momentos like a small spatula, and a yellow and black bandana. Harry ron and hermione enter the underground to protects the stone like normal. At the end, quirril is frustrated at not fining the stone, voldemort says use the boy, harry see's his parents and says so, this time he's not lying. Qurrill tosses him aside and pulls out his wand, he blast the mirror causing it to explode into millions of shards of glass. Voldemorts yells in anger and punishes qurrill. Harry shoots a stunning spell at him and attmempts to get away. Quirrilmort grabs harrys wrist to stop him when he yells in pain, the skin on his hands burns. Harry noticed and grabs quirrils face burning it. He falls unconsciouse, quirril dies. Harry wakes up in the hospital surounded by his freinds, Ranma, and dumbledore. the headmaster asks about the stone, harry explian, dumbledore sies sadly. 'at least he didnt get the stone.' Hermione noticed ranma looking down guiltily and asks what wrong. Ranma flinches then slowy pulls her hand from her poket holding a red stone. She explains about wanting to protect it, pointing out that if sh could get it then anybody could. She didnt know harry was going to after it so she didnt tell him before. Dumbledore takes stone, smiling softly at her. 'I do beleive you are the most gifted witch I have ever met, How would you like you make use of the stone one time to aquire a small supply of gold?' The others are shocked at the offer but she turns him down. 'Money made that way is worthless, I prefer to earn my money, accepting charity only when I need it.' Ranma becomes freinds with the three, Ron offers her a place to stay at his house for the summer break. Ranma agrees if Rons mother sais yes. Ranma fits right in at the weasly's being a red head. +*+*+* Ideas +*+*+* Forgot to stick in quidditch. Ranma can become a chaser, bumping one of them to the bench. She can dodge bludgers easily, catch the ball and toss it the legth of the pitch, as well as tossing it with strenght into the goal, if the keeper catches it, he and the fall fly througe the hoop, witch is not exactly is the rules but nothing says she cant. When everybody falls out with her, she is kicked off the team since she is veiwed as scum and they have a replacement on the bench. Harry has no replacement sothey cant kick him off. This increases her depression and betrayle. She does eventually return to the team, but the only team member she is freindly to is harry. The rest she just ignores and gives the silent treatment. Do certain classes from differant veiwpoints, add a few classes, explore a few new rooms, ranma finds an old dueling classroom that has long since been abanodoned. She finds lots of books on wizards dueling which show how to cast spells quickly and silently, as well as affective stunning, paralising and disarming spells. Ranma spends a lot of time here training, Ranma examines the magic of the paintings, she finds a way to reach into the painting, touching whatever is there. She soon expands that into leaping into the paintings, were she can interact with anything ther and travel from painting to painting.
