The Girl Who Loved

**The Girl Who Loved** is a crossover fanfic (with Sailor Moon and Ranma ½) written by Darth Drafter. It is rated **Mature**, contains more than 150 000 words and was published and completed in 2009. It can be found on FanFiction.net together with its sequel Violence Inherent in the System. The story is set in the summer of 1996, maybe a year after the end of Sailor Moon and several years after the end of Ranma ½, except for a few flashforward scenes from the far future.

This fic contains a lot of Dumbledore-bashing, depicting him as hedonistic, amoral and easily swayed by a dark Snape. Later, this view is modified by explaining that most people in Magical Britain are avid users of recreational drugs, and Dumbledore in particular is a heavy user of extremely potent substances. In the sequel, with the drugs and chemical dependencies removed, his personality becomes quite different.

Beyond the two major crossovers, there are throwaway references to at least *All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku*, *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, *Devil Hunter Yohko*, *Homeroom Affairs*, *Monty Python*, *Naruto*, *Star Wars*, *Tenchi Muyo* and *Urusei Yatsura*.

## Plot Summary

*For readers not acquainted with the crossover universes, the Wikipedia articles on **Ranma ½** and/or **Sailor Moon** may be useful.*

Dumbledore decides, after input from Snape, that the "power he knows not" is love, but of a very specific kind: Voldemort would never let himself be penetrated by another wizard. When Harry learns that he will celebrate his sixteenth birthday by getting married to Snape, he apparates away in a desperate burst of accidental magic. In fact, his need to *get away* is so great that he traverses about thirteen thousand kilometers and eight time zones, ending up in the Jusenkyo valley of the Bayankala mountain range in the Qinghao province of China. There he stumbles into the recently created Spring of Drowned Sailor Moon (technically known as the *Spring of Drowned I'm-Not-Sure-Who-She-Was*). Luckily, a grown-up Ranma Saotome is present and can help him adjust to the finer points of his new water-based sex change curse. And keep Fawkes away...

It turns out that the mother of Saffron was Lady Tranquility, sister of Queen Serenity, and when Harry uses the "Scepter of Prissiness" (the Kaleidomoon Scope) as a wand while in his female form, various old artifacts react. Kiima is sent to greet the unknown member of the royal house, and present her with a gift – a necklace from among Queen Tranquility's personal jewelery – as a token of Saffron's loyalty. However, Ranma, who's not too happy to see her again, soon drives her off – whereupon Herb, who's noticed Kiima's deference and thinks it means Harry would make a good mate for him, attacks with Mint, Lime and four more Musk warriors. While Harry's magic does fairly well holding the warriors back, once Herb focuses on him he is only saved by the ghost of Usagi Tsukino temporarily possessing him and transforming into Sailor Moon. Herb is thrown into the Spring of Drowned Rabbit, from which he emerges transformed into a bunny girl, and is immediately pursued by the Musk warriors. Later, Cologne shows up with Shampoo and a group of Amazon warriors, just in time to hold off an attack by Death Eaters led by Lucius Malfoy. Interestingly, it turns out that the Amazons are the decendants of a group of ki adepts used by the Zhou dynasty to kill off the majority of the Chinese magicals some 3000 years ago...

Having been attacked twice in a single day, and considering that Voldemort apparently knows where he is, Harry decides to leave for home using his female form as a disguise. Usagi's ghost joins him, while Ranma (and Shampoo) leave for Tokyo after promises to get to Hogwarts within the next few months for a reunion. Unfortunately, Harry's plan of repeated line-of-sight apparition westward hits a snag fairly quickly once they've left the valley: the mountains are cold. There is hardly anything to eat in the mountains. And above all else, there seems to be no end to the mountains. Luckily, after a few cold, hungry and magically exhausting days, Sailor Pluto appears and offers her hospitality. Harry accepts, and is promptly teleported to Japan.

In Japan, Usagi Tsukino disappeared several months ago during a school trip to an ancient temple. By chance, she had triggered an old magic transport artefact, which had sent her to the Jusenkyo training grounds – with a small error in placement, which had resulted in a watery grave rather than a greeting from the guide. The chaotic magic of Jusenkyo kept Pluto from rescuing her, or even seeing the details, but she was able to reassure the rest of the senshi that their princess would eventually return, albeit changed and in the company of a British wizard. However, there were repercussions for the future: Chibi-Usa is now *Harry's* daughter, not Mamoru's. Which, among other things, means that – unlike the others, who do not have magical cores – she can see Usagi's ghost...

Harry's first meeting with the senshi is interrupted by Dumbledore and Snape, but they are quickly subdued and sent packing. Usagi takes over Harry's body long enough to tell Minako and Ami that she is fine with them pursuing Harry romantically while he stays in Japan, and to initiate a romantic encounter of her own with Rei. However, a series of incidents leads to Harry's (or rather, Usagi's) likeness becomes public knowledge, under the name "Teen Witch" aka Heather Snape, to the extent that it is even reported in Magical British papers, and while on a date with Minako the two of them let some information slip that is picked up by journalist Nabiki Tendo.

Returning to Britain in preparation for the new school year, Harry authorizes Gringotts to recall the many artifacts that Dumbledore has "borrowed" from the Potter vault, and takes possession of the inheritance left by Sirius, including 12 Grimmauld Place and two unplottable locations. He is also informed about the existance of no less than nine betrothal contracts, of which two have been accepted and can be enforced: one for the family of Lovegood, with the option to pass it on to his heirs, and one for any female born to the Snape line, without such option. Given his future daughter's existance, a further contract is drawn up between Harry and Usagi, set to become active at the time of their first kiss.

Business at Gringotts is concluded just in time for the disguised Harry to stop a massive dementor attack on Diagon Alley by first using the Scepter of Prissiness to summon a whole herd of Patronus stags and does able to corral the dementors into one place, and then the *Moon Gorgeous Meditation* attack to destroy them. Nine of the destroyed dementors leave behind not-yet-consumed souls of their victims, which Harry is able to return to their owners – including Hermione! As Dumbledore eventually arrives with the Order, Harry grabs Hermione and Ginny, whom she had been shopping with, and apparates them all to 12 Grimmauld Place. Explanations follow, although Ginny is not happy about the new claimant for "her" Harry.

Dumbledore tries to use his influence as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards to have Harry and "Heather" arrested for their breach of the Statute of Secrecy in Japan, even though Japan is neither a member of the ICW nor a signatory of the Statute. In order to defend himself while still keeping the curse a secret, Harry conspires with Pluto to send his female form back in time so that they can face the Wisengamot together. The pensieve memories they present are enough not just to clear them but also to remove the magical guardianship of Harry from Dumbledore.

The next day, as "Heather" defends Diagon Alley against Death Eaters, Dumbledore chooses to confront her rather than help. She ends up "dropping a white magic nuke" of unstructured Moon magic which heals everybody within several hundred meters, even removing the Dark Mark from the remaining death eaters, but leaves both Dumbledore and Snape unconscous for quite some time. When he wakes up, the headmaster finds his need for lemon drop pain killers has disappeared and the world seems subtly different. The potions master, meanwhile, finds his anger at James Potter's son suddenly absent as he considers the way he has treated Lily Evans' child. Oh, and Remus is cured of lycanthropy!

In the last days before school starts, Harry and the girls finally find the time to explore the two unplottable locations he has inherited – a manor in Northumberland with its own WWII-era air base and an island in the Bristol Channel – and Harry makes some deals with Minister Scrimgeour, including a promise to attend the Ministry Yule Ball. On the Hogwarts Express, "Heather" gives a Sailor Moon Speech to Draco Malfoy, and in a later-to-be-revealed-as-canonical "dirty omake" Hermione lets Usagi have some flesh-and-blood relations with Harry.

The story continues in Violence Inherent in the System.
