A.N: O.K, lemme explain a few things. This story takes place after the fifth book, and changes some things in the battle at the Ministry of Magic. Also, this is a crossover fic between Harry Potter, Negima, and Naruto. It's under Negima because the majority of the story takes place in Mahora. Rated M for some mature scenes, inappropriate humor, and language.

Harry Potter and the Thousand Master

Harry Potter awoke from his third successive nightmare that week. He instinctively let his hand jump to his scar, though it had not seared with pain. It hadn't actually hurt him since the Ministry of Magic. He remembered what had happened very clearly, and it haunted him in his sleep.

Flashback:

"If death is nothing, kill the boy,"

Yes, please, let it end, he thought. Let it end.

Harry collapsed onto the cold floor. Faces swam above him, and a body lay nearby. He could make out a pair of eyes, scarlet against a pale face, with slits for pupils. He sat up, and looked around. Cornelius Fudge strode past then bent low to examine the body of Voldemort. Dumbledore helped Harry to his feet, beaming down at him.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"I will explain everything when we return to Hogwarts; I must give Cornelius a half hour of my time to explain what has occurred." He reached down, tapped the head of the wizard's statue, and muttered "Portus." The head glowed blue, then returned to bronze.

"Hold on!" shouted Fudge. "You don't have the proper authorization for that Portkey!"

End Flashback.

Dumbledore had gone on to explain how Harry's pure mind had pulled Voldemort's soul together, out of some things he called Horcruxes. It had all made sense to Harry in the office, but now, with the nightmares of that day still in his mind, it was all quickly becoming confusing.

A tapping at his window drew him out of his thoughts and back into reality. A trio of owls was at his window, bearing letters. Harry opened the window and stood back to let them in. One was his own snowy Hedwig, Hermione's neat writing on the letter she bore. The second was a ragged owl named Errol, belonging to his friend Ron. The third owl, a large barn owl, was carrying three letters. Harry opened these first. The first letter contained his O.W.L. results, and Harry was pleased to know he had only failed History of Magic and Divination. The second Hogwarts letter was from Hagrid, wishing him a happy birthday, and hoping to see him in class next year. The last letter, however, was from Dumbledore.

This letter, written in Dumbledore's narrow, looping handwriting, told Harry that Dumbledore would be at Number 4, Privet Drive at noon tomorrow, while the Dursleys were away. Harry pulled himself together and glanced around the room. His things were scattered everywhere, his trunk nearly empty, except for the few inches of debris that perpetually occupied the bottom. He quickly began gathering his spellbooks and supplies, attempting a neat job at packing.

An hour later, Harry's room was relatively neat, most of his school things tucked away safely in his trunk. Harry managed to find his Invisibility Cloak, which had fallen over his Firebolt, rendering them both unseen. Harry finally stretched and crawled back into bed, hoping to finish the night's sleep without too many more nightmares.

-----

Harry was awakened by a gentle knock on his door. He opened his eyes in time to see Albus Dumbledore enter. A glance at the clock revealed it was exactly noon.

"Good morning, Harry," Dumbledore said. "Or, afternoon rather."

"Professor," Harry said. "I'm sorry, I just—"

Dumbledore pointedly looked at Harry's alarm clock. "I never did trust Muggle alarms. They tend to not work when they are most needed," he said. "However, as we have much traveling to do today, we must waste too much time sleeping. I will leave you now, and when you are dressed and ready, we will depart."

With that, he left. Harry took less than two minutes to get dressed and drag his trunk to the front door.

"Where are we going, sir?" Harry asked.

"First, to the Burrow, to pick up Ginny and Hermione, then I will be sending the three of you to Japan."

"Japan?" Harry asked. "Why?"

"All in good time, Harry," Dumbledore said. "First, I will send your trunk ahead." He waved his wand, and with a pop, his trunk vanished.

"Harry, you will need to grip my arm very tightly," Dumbledore said. "This is called Side-Along Apparition."

Harry obeyed, and Dumbledore began to turn away. Harry quickly tightened his grip, and suddenly he was being squished from all sides. He felt as if he were being drawn through a straw. He was very glad when he felt his feet hit the ground, in the shadow of the Burrow.

Negi Springfield felt his back hit the wall behind him.

"A-Asuna-san, wait a second," he pleaded.

"Negi-kun, come here," Asuna Kagurazaka said. She advanced on him, arms outstretched and reaching for him. She also happened to be in her underwear.

"Chamo-kun! This is your doing, I know it!" Negi shouted. A white ermine appeared at his shoulder.

"Aniki, for once, I feel you are wrong." Chamo said. "I think this is a botched matchmaking attempt by Yue-nesan."

Asuna lunged. Negi ducked, darting under her legs to escape through the door.

"Awfully strong for a love potion, don't you think?" Negi asked as he ran down the hallway.

"I think Yue has been experimenting with control spells," Chamo guessed. "My thought is that she missed Nodoka and hit Asuna instead."

"Control spells?!" Negi shouted. "Even I-"

He ran headlong into Nodoka Miyazaki. The shy librarian toppled over, Negi landing on top of her. He tried to raise his head, but the world seemed to spin around him. He laid he head back down on something soft.

"Um, N-Negi-sensei?" Nodoka asked. "You're on my b-breast."

At this Negi leapt up, blushing furiously.

"Negi-kun!" Asuna shouted as she came into the lobby, still dressed in her underwear. "There you are!"

"Sorry Nodoka-san!" Negi called as he ran for the exit. "C'mon Chamo!"

"There's only one person who could have taught Yue a control spell, and that's you, master," Negi said. Seated across from him, Evangeline A.K. McDowell guzzled a soda.

"Any other time, I'd be glad to take credit," she began. "However, I am a vampire. I can hypnotize just about anyone, without the use of spells. I don't know any control Spells. Sounds like Yue has learned the Imperius Curse," she added, almost as an afterthought.

"Then I've got to find her!" Negi said, springing up.

"Hold it boya," Eva said. "I'm coming with you."

"What?! Why?"

Eva drained the soda can. "Because," she said. "We have to remove the charm from Asuna. She'd be too embarrassing to be around if we didn't. Yue obviously doesn't know how, or she'd have done it when she missed her intended target."

"Fine, let's go," Negi said, yanking the door open. Asuna stood on the doorstep.

"Negi-kun!" she said, tackling him to the ground. Negi was squished between the floor and Asuna's breasts. "We're gonna have so much fun together!"

Eva shouted several arcane words, and there was a flash of light. Asuna shook her head and got up.

"What the hell!" she shouted. "I hated that, whatever it was. I couldn't do anything! I was stuck for a ride in my own body!"

"Asuna, you haven't seen Yue today, have you?" Negi asked.

"No, why?" Asuna replied.

"Because," Eva said. "If she didn't enchant you, we need to find out who did."

Takashi squinted against the rising sun. His first morning of training in these mountains seemed to be going well.

A rustle in the bushes behind him set him on guard. He sighed as Naruto Uzumaki stumbled into view.

"Dammit Naruto," Takashi said. "I could have killed you!"

"Chill," Naruto replied. "Breakfast."

Takashi almost turned down the meal when his growling stomach betrayed him. He trudged back to camp, taking a seat between Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga. Takashi was part of a training cell, consisting of himself, Kakashi's team 7, Hinata Hyuga, Rock Lee, Ino Yamanaka, and Sakura and Kiora Kagurazaka.

Kakashi poofed into the center of the group. "Listen up everybody, I have good news and bad news."

"Good news first, sensei," Sakura Haruno said. "I'm not in the mood for bad news right now."

"Alright, the good news is we don't have to train here anymore," Kakashi said.

"But Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said. "We just got here last night."

"What's the bad news?" Hinata asked.

"We've received new orders. A school called Mahora Academy is said to be the next target of an evil entity, and we have been hired to help protect the school," Kakashi explained.

Sakura and Kiora exchanged a look. "Asuna," they said in unison.
