112: Twin Turmoil ~ Yuuki no Yuki
So, I have decided to start my Bleach Crossover week, where I take the fandoms with the most stories crossed over with Bleach and that I know and put them here. For the first day, we are going to go with the fandom that has the most stories crossed over with Bleach at this point, Harry Potter... at 318.
A small note, having read a lot of HP/B fanfics, I can tell you that the typical plot line for a crossover between the two is having Aizen and Voldemort team up with each other. That, or having the characters from Bleach just show up hunting down the Hollow type dementors. I've also seen where one of the guys is turned into a female version of themselves.
The one I am featuring today though, is very different from that. On an added note, the royalty tag is being used here for Pureblood status...
Title: Twin Turmoil
Name: Kurosaki Karin & Yuzu, Kurosaki Isshin, Kurosaki Masakai, the Potter Family, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin
Suethor: Yuuki no Yuki
Pairings: Karin/Sirius, Remus/Yuzu
Appearance: Like canon. However, I would like to note the fact that this fanfic over plays the fact that Karin and Yuzu ARE the opposite of each other.
Background: Masaki once lived in Britain and went to Hogwarts, so Yuzu and Karin get special treatment and get to go to Hogwarts instead. Not as exchange students, mind you, but because it is their mother's school. It takes place during... Marauder Era.
Sue Qualifications: Now, I don't mind crossovers between these two that crossover main canon Harry Potter timeline with Bleach despite the fact they're likely ten to twenty years apart. I mean, HP takes place in the 90's, while Bleach takes place in the 00's or 10's. However... Marauder Era took place in the seventies. Masaki was apparently a Potter. However, this is only a small part. The whole thing completely defiles Bleach canon and brushes off Soul Society as being on some weird enchanted island then anything. Thus, Karin and Yuzu are Pureblood because Isshin's shinigami status is 'magical' and makes them Pureblood. Karin also gets a wand made of special wood that "filled her with an instant surge of power, it was as if all the elements were at her command, she longed to control the power, but the wand seemed to have a mind of its own, and everytime she thought to conrtol it, it would zap her back."
Annoying Attributes: I see Karin kicking Sirius between the legs before she ever went out with him. It seems to be pairing the girls up black hair/black hair and brown hair/brown hair. And then there is the whole sorting scene, where Karin ends up in Slytherin and Yuzu ended up in Gryfindor, which completely goes against their personality.
Sample:
Isshin Kurosaki thought this was a very good time to start counting the number of threads that made up his rug. He got to about 60 before Karin kicked him in the side of the head, bringing him crashing back to Earth. "I would've told you," he started backing away slowly, "only I was charmed so I couldn't...you understand, right? I mean I wasn't techinically a wizard anyway..."
"What do you mean?" Yuzu called stopping Karin with the touch of her hand.
Isshin who was clearly relieved to still be alive launched into his explanation. "Well you see," he began, "your mom went to Hogwarts so she's a witch, if she went to Als or Shikon she'd have been either an alchemist or sorceress respectivly. I went to the Shinigami Academy in Seretei."
"Wait...where?" Karin questioned, having never heard of a place called Seretei...not that she'd heard of any of the places mentioned, but still.
"Seretei, it's the captial of the Soul Society." It was, surprisingly, Dumbledor who answered, "and before you ask Kurosaki-san, Soul Society is an all magic community hidden on an invisible island to the west of Hokkaido, it's true name is Kuroki, dark-tree, it became known as Soul Society when your Ministry of Magic...I believe you call them Centeral 46, passed a law in which ghosts could no-longer freely roam the streets. They were soon sent to live in the only completely magical community...Kuroki."
"So all the ghosts go there?" Yuzu questioned, trying to wrap her head around all the new information.
"Yeah," Isshin called, effectivaly putting the spotlight on himself, "well Seretei, like Dumbledor said, is the capital, and it's at the center of the island...but ghost can't enter it only shiniga-err, witches and wizards can travel trhough it, and only if they've graduated from the Shinigami Academy. It's the center of the Japanese Magical Community, like, um Diagon Alley in London...only more selective."
"Selective?" Yuzu questioned, neither her nor Karin brought up that they had no idea what 'Diagon Alley' was.
"Like your father said Ms. Yuzu," Dumbledoor picked up, obviously more comfortable explaining things, "only a fully recognized witch or wizard is granted passage, they call them 'shinigami' or Death Gods."
"That's conceited," Karin mummbeled to herself, garnaring a chuckle from Dumbledor.
"Yes, well, cosidering they are granted entry into a city that they've completely banned ghosts from entering, on an island known as 'soul society' I'm sure you can see their reasoning." Dumbledor continued, "nevertheless, I did not come here to discuss your country's history, although it is rather interesting. Locking Magical Creatures up in a prison known as the Maggot's Nest, and asignining a singal wizard to gaurd it...but I digress, I came here to offer you a chance to attend Hogwarts this coming school year, and, subsequently, the next 6 years as well."
Karin was shocked, she almost didn't believe what the old man was saying...but then again, she had been seing ghosts since she was 4, and she'd noticed Ichi-nii and his friends mentioning things about 'shinigami' and the 'soul society.' Even so, to suddenly ask them if they wanted to drop everything and attend a school on the other side of the world, for the next seven years? And considering the distance it would be unlikely they could visit except over summer break...if then. This was all so sudden, and Karin had to think carefully abou-
"I'll go!" Yuzu shouted, a large smile on her already cheerful face, "it sounds like fun!"
Well, looks like Yuzu made her choice for her, after all, hell would freeze over...or melt (depending on the your belief) before she would let her younger sister (twin or not) do something like this alone.
"Alright, I'm in" Karin drawled, a smirk on her face. It looked like Karin Kurosaki was not such an average girl after all.
And the sorting scene from chapter three...
"Kurosaki, Karin!"
As Karin stepped forward, she noticed all the ghosts began to whisper feverently amongst themselves. Pointing from her to Yuzu and back again.
The last thing she saw before the hat dropped over her eyes was the hall full of peopling straining to catch what the ghosts were saying. Next second she was looking at the black inside of the hat, and then...
"Hmm," the hat seemed to whisper into Karin's mind. "Interesting, I haven't sorted a Kurosaki before, and it seems I get your sister next." Karin briefly wandered how the hat knew about Yuzu before realizing it could probably read her mind.
"You're right about that, and what I see in your mind is very interesting. You're a hard-worker, at least were soccor is concerned, and you're rather smart too, what really stands out though, is your courage, and ambtion. But where to put you?"
"I don't really care, either way."
"Well, it's been quite a while since I've seen a student without a preference, even the muggle-borns hear the rumors...ah but I see you have heard, you just don't care. Well...you are a sneaky one, miss I'll-stalk-my-brother."
"Hey! He was disappearing for weeks!"
"Yes, and you have a sharp tounge and great wit. You're very competitive too, hmm...yes, when you'd do anything to win it must be SLYTHERIN!"
Karin jumped off the stool and went to join the cheering Slytherin's on the far right. She noticed Yuzu's fearful look as she went to sit on the stool, and blocked out James' look of disgust. Who cared what he thought? He was just a stupid boy anyways.
Yuzu watched Karin walk to her table with worry. She didn't want to have to do the sorting infront of everyone. What if something went wrong? She was always the least special in her family, what if the hat knew this and kicked her out? Said she wasn't magic enough! OR what if told her th-
"Kurosaki, Yuzu!" Professor McGonagall called, and Yuzu gulped before running to the stool and plopping the hat onto her head.
"Ahh, the second Kurosaki," it took all of Yuzu's willpower not to squeek infront of the entire hall, "well you're quite different from your sister...not that you're any easier."
"Um, I w-want to be p-placed with Karin please."
"Hmm, I'm sorry but I don't think I can do that...even if you could fit in Slytherin, not that you can, I think you'd do better if you and your sister were seperated. Don't worry your bonds strong enough."
"I'm not worried!"
"Hehe, of course not, well you do have a bit of courage in you don't you. Not the smartest kid though, but you make up for it in heart...yes, fair, just, couragous and more...better be GRYFFINDOR!"
Smiling Yuzu made her way to Sirius and Lily, happy that she knew some people in her house. Her smile only grew as one by one "Lupin, Remus...Pettigrew, Peter...and...Potter, James," joined her in Gryffindor. When "Snape, Severus" was called, she half expected him to join them, but instead he went and sat beside Karin sending Lily a sad glance.
