The Room with a Computer

Hogwarts has a new professor of Muggle studies -- who happens to be a Muggle.  McGonagall is skeptical, Hermione is curious, Ron is jealous, Ginny is impressed, and Harry has questions.  Arthur Weasley finally gets a plane ride.

Warnings: None. Safe for younger readers.

Characters:  A true ensemble piece for HP, but for X-Men, Cyclops is primary, although other X-Men will appear.

Harry Potter:  This tale assumes events in Book 6 (and is consanguineous with them) up till Christmas.  Naturally, the events depicted herein didn't occur, but nothing in this story directly contradicts Book 6, so while it's mildly AU, it's not entirely outside canon.

X-Men movies:  It'd be good to have seen X-Men 2 and know what a mutant is; other comics knowledge optional.  Events in X2 occurred five months before this story begins.  Uses nothing from X-Men 3 (except a blue Beast).

ON TIMING:  HBP takes place 1996/97; X-Men 2 early 2000s.  Yet as the Wizarding World seems less tied to the mid-90s than X-Men 2 to post 9-11 events, I've moved the HP world forward in time to the early 2000s.  Thus, some of the items discussed herein would not have existed in 1997.  I'm well aware of that and ask readers to roll with it.

Notes:  This is pure wish-fulfillment kink fic (no, not that kind of kink).  I threw together two favorite characters from two very different fandoms to see what happened.  There's no deeper motive than that, and no real excuse for this except my own entertainment.  I'm well aware that electronics shouldn't work at Hogwarts, but I'm running with the assumption that Dumbledore is powerful enough -- and skilled enough -- to get around it.  Other notes at end.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling and the X-Men belong to Marvel comics.  I'm just borrowing them for a bit of fun.
