Harry Potter: Toji Potter

Ichigo Kurosaki yawned as he strolled into Karakura High. His usual scowl was in place, masking the exhaustion from last night's hollow onslaught. Despite his efforts, a heavy tension weighed on him. The hollows were stronger than usual, their coordinated attacks a troubling sign.

"Morning, Kurosaki!" Keigo shouted, slinging an arm around Ichigo's shoulders.

"Get off me," Ichigo grumbled, shrugging him off.

As the day progressed, things seemed normal—until the lunch break, when Ichigo felt a strange spiritual pressure nearby. It wasn't overwhelming, but it had a distinct hollow-like signature intertwined with something else.

Turning toward the source, he noticed a blond guy leaning casually against the school gate. The stranger wore the school uniform but had an aura that screamed anything but ordinary.

"Hey," the guy called, waving lazily. "You're Ichigo Kurosaki, right?"

Ichigo narrowed his eyes. "Who's asking?"

"Name's Shinji Hirako." The grin on his face was unsettling, and Ichigo couldn't shake the sense of something… off about him. Shinji continued, his tone almost teasing. "You're an interesting one. That hollow power of yours—real unique."

Ichigo stiffened. "What are you talking about?"

Shinji leaned in closer, still grinning. "Oh, nothing. Just thought we might have something in common. See ya around." With that, he walked away, leaving Ichigo more confused than ever.

In the outskirts of Karakura Town, Ikkaku faced off against Edrad Liones, a towering Arrancar with fire-based powers. Edrad's spiritual pressure radiated heat, the air around him shimmering like a mirage.

"You look like fun," Edrad said, cracking his knuckles. "Don't disappoint me."

Ikkaku grinned, his blood pumping. "Disappoint you? I'll make you regret picking this fight."

Edrad's flames roared to life as he launched a barrage of fiery punches. Ikkaku dodged deftly, his grin widening as he closed the distance. Swinging his Zanpakuto, he clashed with Edrad's flaming fists, sparks flying with each impact.

The fight escalated as Edrad released his Resurrección, his body becoming engulfed in flames, resembling a fire elemental. Ikkaku responded in kind, unleashing his Bankai, Ryūmon Hōzukimaru. The massive weapon gleamed, its blade pulsating with raw power.

Edrad's laughter turned to a roar of determination as their battle shook the ground. Ultimately, Ikkaku's relentless attacks overwhelmed Edrad, his Bankai cutting through the flames and defeating the Arrancar in a spectacular explosion of energy.

Rangiku squared off against Nakeem Grindina, a bulky Arrancar with a menacing aura. Despite his size, he moved with surprising speed, forcing Rangiku to rely on her agility.

"Pretty thing like you shouldn't be in a fight," Nakeem taunted.

Rangiku smirked, twirling her Zanpakuto, Haineko. "I could say the same about you, big guy."

Her Shikai released a cloud of ash-like particles, which danced around Nakeem, slicing at him from all angles. He swatted at the particles, his brute strength shattering nearby structures, but Rangiku stayed one step ahead. Using her wits and precise strikes, she eventually overwhelmed Nakeem, defeating him with a final coordinated attack of her ash blades.

In the sky above Karakura, Tōshirō Hitsugaya clashed with Shawlong Koufang, an Arrancar wielding claw-like weapons. Shawlong's analytical mind made him a formidable opponent, predicting Hitsugaya's moves with uncanny accuracy.

"You're holding back," Shawlong observed. "A limiter, isn't it?"

Hitsugaya smirked coldly. "You're sharp. Too bad it won't save you."

As Shawlong pressed his advantage, Hitsugaya's limiter was released. The temperature plummeted instantly, ice spreading across the battlefield. With his full power unleashed, Hitsugaya overwhelmed Shawlong, encasing him in a massive glacier and shattering it with a single swing of Hyōrinmaru.

Renji faced Yylfordt Granz, whose bull-like Resurrección made him a powerful and resilient foe. The two clashed in a brutal display of strength, Yylfordt's charging attacks forcing Renji to stay on the defensive.

"You're tough," Renji admitted, blood trickling from a cut on his cheek. "But I'm tougher."

Unleashing his Bankai, Zabimaru, Renji turned the tide of the battle. The massive segmented blade struck with precision, wearing down Yylfordt's defenses. With a final, devastating attack, Renji defeated the Arrancar, leaving a crater in the ground where Yylfordt once stood.

As the battles raged, Yammy Llargo and Ulquiorra Cifer observed from a distance. Yammy's massive form exuded raw power, while Ulquiorra's calm demeanor and piercing green eyes radiated control.

"Looks like they're struggling," Yammy said, cracking his knuckles. "Want me to crush them?"

"No," Ulquiorra replied, his voice cold and detached. "Our orders were reconnaissance. We've seen enough."

The two retreated, their presence vanishing as quickly as it had appeared.

Back at the Kurosaki Clinic, the Shinigami regrouped. Injuries were tended to, and the tension of battle gave way to a sense of camaraderie. The arrival of more captains—Byakuya, Shunsui, and others—added to the mix, turning the household into a bustling hub of activity.

Rangiku teased Tōshirō about his reunion with Isshin, while Shunsui charmed Karin and Yuzu, much to Ichigo's annoyance. Amid the lively atmosphere, a somber note lingered: Orihime's absence weighed heavily on everyone, especially Ichigo.

"We can't waste any more time," Ichigo said firmly. "We need to get to Hueco Mundo."

Harry, leaning against the wall, nodded. "Then let's move. The longer we wait, the stronger Aizen gets."

With a plan in place, the first team—Byakuya, Renji, Rukia, Unohana, Ishida, and Chad—prepared to enter Hueco Mundo. The remaining captains returned to Soul Society, leaving Harry and Ichigo to finalize their strategy.

Ichigo stood at the edge of his hometown, his resolve burning brighter than ever. The battles ahead would test them all, but he was ready to face whatever came next.
