Chapter 1

~

They were six when it began. For reasons unknown to this day, Ichigo Kurosaki, the son of a former Soul Reaper, and Harry James Potter, the by now famous Boy-Who-Lived...switched bodies.

It took all of a week to realise what had happened to Ichigo. And it took four years before the bizarre occurrence mysteriously reversed just as it had begun. But the connection between the two remained. Ichigo and Harry had permanently become linked.

And Ichigo was helpless to help the boy he considered his twin brother.

Harry was in his fourth year of Hogwarts, and he hated it. He would much rather be in Karakura's Mahou Gakuen with Ichigo. It baffled Hermione that he could speak perfect Japanese, yet his essays were so sloppy.

Alas, she didn't accept his excuse of his best friend in Japan teaching him through owl post. Even when he showed the girl his letters to Ichigo.

So in an effort to get her to drop his odd habit of speaking in Japanese at odd times or when he was really upset, he offered to teach her the language.

It did the trick. Fortunately the link between Ichigo and Harry was still strong enough that the orange haired boy corrected him before he taught Hermione.

Ron, in typical idiot creed, declined the lessons. Fred and George on the other hand, joined Hermione...if only to annoy Snape.

Then his year went to hell in a handbasket when his name was announced by Dumbledore.

Instead of following the instructions given to him by the old man, he did something that only the twins would expect after being introduced to Ichigo (Harry had decided to let the twins know about his own double since they had given him the Map).

He started swearing.

"Mr. Potter, you will join the others," said Dumbledore, not very amused in the least.

Harry actually glared at the headmaster.

"Like hell I will! I never entered my name in that damn goblet! Why the bloody hell should I suffer for the actions of others?"

Prolonged exposure to Ichigo over the years had lead to Harry overcoming his original belief that he was a freak. The Kurosaki clan had only sped up the transformation.

As it stood, whatever one of them learned, the other did too.

Which, much to Draco's complete horror, meant that Harry Potter was a black belt with no issue of breaking bones or noses if pushed too far.

Because of his outburst, it was very, very clear that Harry Potter wanted nothing to do with the tournament he had been dragged into.

At least it was clear to everyone except a very jealous redhead named Ronald Weasley.

Not two days into the tournament fever (with Harry arguing against preparing for the tasks on the grounds that he had not entered willingly) Ron dropped a bombshell.
