Harry Potter HP/MGLN Plot Bunny

[Innortal]

Need to watch a bit more of the series—and trying to find where I can watch it online—before I’m truly comfortable even writing a Plot Bunny Chapter.
 
But the basics:
 
While running from another round of Harry Hunting, a young Harry (age 7 or 8) comes across a yard sale, where the elderly woman is getting rid of the last things her husband collected.
 
Harry comes across a tome with a broken crystal in its front cover, which the old woman gives to him, as it was something her husband found on his travels in the Pacific during WWII.
 
He pricks himself on it, dropping some blood on it, which heals the crystal.
 
The book is like the Tome of the Night Sky.  Not sure what to call it, but the current idea is Tome of the Morning Star (play on Rising Sun).  The Master Program is called Kogoshui, whose gender will never be defined.
 
The book originally contained five servants, whose existence became the basis for the Japanese Pantheon.
 
Izanagi: creator of the world in the pantheon, in reality; he’s primarily the group’s healer.
Izanami: goddess of death, but in reality, an assassin.
Amaterasu: goddess of the sun, but is really a fire user.
Tsukuyomi: moon god, but in reality, uses illusions to fight.
Susanoo: King of Storms, but uses weather magic and electricity to fight.
 
These five servants are contained within five stones, which have spread out over the world, but try to influence their holders to return them to the book, so they can be reactivated.  So Harry will be tasked by Kogoshui to gather them, sending Harry towards Japan to gather them, teaching him along the way.
 
Not sure if overkill would be to also give Harry a device to defend himself with, and what it should be, but likely named after the Sun.
 
The final stop before meeting Nanoha and Fate when Fate uses weather magic to awaken the Jewel Seeds—not sure if Harry will have collected any at this point.
 
So, opinion?  Links to the series online?

Could be interesting, but you'll need to flesh it out a bit more before I can give a solid opinion.

I'd say that the spirits shoudl probably start out at a low power level.  Nanoha level at the start will blow pretty much everythign out of the water, and it gives you a few options for storylines while they try to get back up to strength.  Also gives Harry an opportunity to start training alongside them.

Harry would probably need a device at some point, since I assume you're having him interact with Nanoha and Fate at some point.  Don't want him to just be a bystander in that case, btu it can probably wait for a good long while.



A few questions:

How's he going to get around?  If they're all over the world, an eight year old isn't going to be able to travel freely, and the Dursleys sure as hell aren't going to help him out, and he doesn't really have magic at this point.

What kind of enemies is Harry going to be facing on his quest?  Will Dumbledore or the Ministry try to find him, will others be aware of the potential power he's trying to gather and seek it for themselves?  With the TSAB interfere?

1.  That is the hard part, because that was one of the sticking points that prevented me from also starting this Plot Bunny to be Killed.  Do I have Kogoshui hack local systems so s/he can get Harry money from ATMs, hide him from cameras, and info to teach him?  After all, if it can do that, then Harry would soon have travel documents that people would assume were legally obtained, not knowing Kogoshui got around all the checks to prevent an unaccompanied minor from obtaining them.   The fun point about this path is that it plays into the title of the book: Morning Star.

Does Kogoshui end up essentially data-mining the horcrux and teach Harry along the way?  If so, then Harry would have knowledge of British magic sooner.

2.  I see Dumbledore and the British Ministry trying to find him, depending on how quickly said journey would get Harry out of England.  Would the Tome end up hiding Harry's magic and Harry from being tracked?  Would other ministries be after him?  Would the gems for the other guardians be in any of their hands?

As for TSAB, the initial idea was for them to not even know about Harry until he was captured during the storm battle (ep 10-11 I think).  Not sure if he'll have any jewel seeds along the way.  He helps against Precia, and travels with them, returning in A's, and only being found by Dumbledore thanks to the Hogwarts letter finding Harry recovering in Japan.  

But not having seen the movies or anime, an only having read fanfic including them all, I'm not sure what other enemies might be able to detect the Tome's energy being active on Earth.

I like the concept. I do wonder, however, what the effect of the Tome of the Morning Star will have on his Horcrux, or if it will affect his compatibility with Wizarding-style magic.

We do no telepathy does exist in the MGLN universe, and is often used for communication.  Not sure if it would take a Unison to deal with it, or like I said early, because Harry would be Kogoshui's master, whether that would give him/her access to it.  Suggestions from fans of the series would be helpful, because I need to watch it a bit to get a better grasp on how that reality works.

As for making the guardians too powerful, I think the best limiter would be Harry's own power, since in effect, he is the battery for both the Tome and its Guardians.

At least, that is my understanding from what the Book of Darkness did to its master.

As far as the Tome of the Night Sky goes, the Wolkenritter were self-sufficient thanks to having their own Linker Cores, the Tome did not have to provide them with any mana to keep them around, unlike, say, Fate/stay night's Servants. If your book functions similarly or is based off of the Tome, then its own guardians would similarly be self-sufficient.
