Harry Potter And The Pure Hearted One

Chapter 1

"Ollie! Watch out!" Phil called, and Oliver ducked as an owl flew over his head!

"Ah!" He yelped. Then he looked up as the owl landed on the phone line and dropped something from his beak. "Huh?" He went over and grabbed it, and saw that it was an envelope. He read the inscription that was written on it in green lettering.

Mr. O Mason

The First Bedroom At The Top Of The Stairs

52 Meadow Street

Motorville

What in the world? That was his address. They even got his bedroom on it.

Phil came running over, and his eyes widened.

"Aw, man! Look at that! What d'you think it's for?" Oliver shrugged and broke the seal on it.

"I don't know. Let's take a look!" Then he tore into the envelope and pulled out a letter. "Dear Mr. Mason. We are pleased to inform you that on behalf of your exploits in the magical world of Ni No Kuni, you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a fifth year term. Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment.
"Term begins September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
"Yours sincerely,
"Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress." Oliver's eyes widened and he looked at Phil, who scoffed.

"Aw man! This is some game you're playing! Especially now that you're almost fifteen! C'mon, Ollie! Toss it out and let's get back to the garage!" But Oliver knew that it was no game.

"Hey Phil, I've actually got to go. Sam wanted me home to... Help fix the lighting fixtures in his bedroom!" Then he stuffed the letter in his pocket and ran as fast as he could back home. He had to tell Melody, Sam, and Grant about this!

When he got home, he found Grant sitting at the kitchen table. When the older boy saw him, he smiled.

"Hey, Oliver! What's up?" Oliver ran over to him and showed the letter.
"An owl gave me this." Grant read over the letter, frowning. Then he sighed.

"I don't know, Oliver. I've never heard of any Hogwarts. I'd suggest asking your friends in Ni No Kuni. Someone like Rashaad, or Khulan might know something about this. Maybe even Marcassin or Harmony, seeing as they must have learned something about this." Oliver nodded.

"Yeah. Being sages, they must have heard something about it. Thanks Grant!" Then he ran upstairs, changed into some clothes more appropriate for Ni No Kuni, grabbed his wand and the Bottomless Bag, then Gatewayed to Ni No Kuni, where he found himself outside of Rashaad's house. He remembered that was where he had left after he had dropped Esther off after they had caught a Fug for a bounty hunt. He blinked in the sudden brightness of the sun, just as Esther came out. She smiled when she saw him.

"Oh hi, Oliver! I didn't expect you to come!" He didn't smile back.

"Esther, I need to speak to your father. I got some strange letter, and I think that he might know something about it." She frowned and shook her head.
"No, I'm sorry, Oliver. He went out for a meeting of the sages. He told me that this has been the first one in eighteen years." Oliver sighed.

"Do you know when he'll be back? Or if Harmony and Marcassin are going?" She shook her head.

"Father said perhaps a week or so, but he wasn't sure himself. And Harmony hadn't wanted to go, but Marcassin insisted that they both go, seeing as their a sage and the Songstress. It's their responsibility." Oliver sighed. "What's so important about this letter, Oliver?"

"It's from the otherworld, Esther. And it mentioned Ni No Kuni." Esther's eyes went wide.

"Really? But that's impossible! Nobody in the otherworld should know about here except for you! You and your family! And perhaps your friends, but no one outside of Motorville!" That was when they heard someone clear their throat.

"Excuse me?" They looked over, and saw a strange sort of man. Well, not really a man. He was a giant pink rabbit! A tall, lanky pink rabbit, with a black suit, a matching top hat, and a cane. He looked very out of the ordinary, even for this world. "I couldn't help overhearing you talking about a letter? Where's it from?" Esther moved to stand next to Oliver, both of them a bit nervous.

"A-A place called Hogwarts, School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. Why?" The rabbit man came over.

"Allow me to introduce myself! I am called the Conductor! I have been looking for you, young Pure Hearted One! All is well that I find your friend along the way!"

"What do you want with Oliver?" Esther asked protectively.

"All I want is to tell him something! Something important!" The Conductor told her. To Oliver, he said "There are rifts all over our world! Rifts caused by an evil wizard, known as Voldemort!" Oliver tilted his head.

"Voldemort? Who's that?" The Conductor bent down a little to be at Oliver and Esther's height.

"An evil being who lived long ago, that's all you need to know. He went to Hogwarts when he was your age, but turned dark. There was only one person who was able to take his power, but he was also the same person who brought him back."

"Who was that?" The Conductor jumped up and did a backflip, before landing back on his feet.

"Never mind who he was! What matters, is that Voldemort has created these rifts all around your world! Sort of like, ghosts of past creatures you fought before! But they're much more powerful!" Oliver exchanged looks with Esther, then turned back to the Conductor.

"Are you telling me that we need to go and defeat them?" The Conductor nodded.

"Well I'm certainly not going to! So yes! Yes I am!" Oliver looked again at Esther, and they both nodded to each other. They already agreed to do this. Then he turned back to the Conductor.
"Okay! We'll do it!" The Conductor jumped up.

"Splendid! Splendid! Then you best be on your way!" As he began to walk away, he suddenly stopped and turned to face them once more. "Oh! And by the way! I wouldn't go to that school. It's where he who took Lord Voldemort's powers resides, and he is not very kind." Then the Conductor vanished in a flash of light. Oliver and Esther exchanged looks, completely confused.

"Goodness! You'd think that he would stick around to help us a little more!" Esther grumbled. Oliver shrugged.
"Well, at least we kind of know what we're up against. After all, he said the ghosts of creatures we've fought before. They're just more powerful. Maybe they're in the same spots they were before?" Esther tapped her chin, then nodded.

"Yes, that sounds logical." then she smiled. "Well, even if we can't get Marcassin and Harmony to join us, why don't we go and pick up Drippy and Swaine? I know that they'd both give us an earful if they found out that we left them behind on an adventure!" Oliver smiled and nodded.

"Come on! Let's head for the Fairygrounds first!" Then he waved his wand, cast Travel, and they were on their fourth adventure of a lifetime.
