Tenten stared. And stared.

Here she was, in Tsunade's office, having been called for a mission. When she had opened the door, however, instead of finding just the usual pissed off Tsunade sipping tea or sake she found that there was a man in the office as well, a white haired man with half-moon glasses and a very long beard that definitely was not Jiraiya-sama, or Kakashi, or anyone else from the village at all. Besides, this guy was... was he wearing a dress?

It even looked like some cloth only Ino, or maybe Hinata, would have in their closet. It was made of a silky material, and was a deep dark blue with... sparkles. On it. Well. Still, Tenten couldn't get over the fact that he was wearing a dress. Well, it might have been a robe, like what Hiashi-sama liked to wear, but... still!

And so, she stared.

The man in the dress, robe, she reminded herself, was also peering curiously at her.

"Is this the girl?" he asked, turning to Tsunade, who nodded, her brown eyes fixated on Tenten. Tenten found herself wanting to take a step back at her gaze, but stood her ground.

"You... called me, Tsunade-sama?" she asked.

Tsunade nodded once more, "But before we can get to the matter at hand... how many civilian friends do you have, Tenten?"

Tenten blinked. What did that have anything to do with this?

"Um... quite a few from the orphanage, I guess... I still go around with Aiko, Daichi, Nobori, Tomaru... And the kids in my neighborhood so I know quite a few civilians around my age, Tsunade-sama."

"Good," Tsunade said, clasping her hands. She looked towards the white haired man and spoke.

"Yes, she's the girl..."

"If I may ask, Tsunade-sama, what did that question have anything to do with..." Tenten trailed off when Tsunade smiled.

"Tenten," the female Hokage interrupted, "let me introduce you to this man."

She gestured, and the man moved to stand besides Tsunade's desk, Tsunade herself still sitting down.

"If you accept this mission, Tenten, you will be undercover for a while. You will have to stay quiet, you will be a civilian. And as many of your civilian friends should be doing, you will be attending a school. This man, " she again gestured towards said man, "will be your headmaster. Tenten, meet Dumbudoru Arubusu-sensei. Arubusu-sensei, Tenten."

Tenten bowed, waist-deep, like she knew the civilian children did at school when meting their sensei. "Good afternoon, Arubusu-sensei," she said.

"Good afternoon, Tenten," he chuckled, "but please, call me Dumbledore-sensei."

"Before you accept the mission, Tenten," Tsunade suddenly interrupted, "There's a lot you have to think about. First of all, This mission would be an A-rank, usually taken by Jonin. But because of circumstances, we wish to send you. Your primary objective will be bodyguarding, but you will be going to a warring country and your secondary mission is infiltrtoation." Tsunade looked up from her papers to stare directly into Tenten's eyes.

"The largest factor is that you'll be away for 10 months, and alone. Do you accept this mission?"

Tenten nodded, determined. "I, Tenten, will take this mission and complete it to the best of my abilities. But... why me?"

Tsunade and Dumbledore nodded.

"A pragmatist, I see. I suspect she will be of the Ravenclaw house."

Before Tsunade could reply Tenten spoke up again. "Where exactly is the school I'll be going to? Forgive me from being rude, but Dumbudoru-sensei does not sound like he is from anywhere in the Elemental Nations. He... His... accent is... unique."

Tsunade grinned. "Well caught. Arubusi-sensei is from a distant place... which is also where the school is. This year they are having a tournament in conjunction with two other schools, similar to what we did with the Chunin exams. However, while there are three tasks there will only be one candidate from each school. And of course, there will be attempts on those candidates' lives during and outside of the tournament. Your primary job is protecting that candidate from this school from death."

"Yes, I'm sure I'll do well, Tsunade-sama," Tenten interrupted, "but may I please ask where this school is?"

Tsunade opened her mouth only to be interrupted once more, this time by Dumbledore.

"Tsunade," he said, his voice oddly soothing, "why don't I explain the mission instead? I'm sure I can offer greater insight into what exactly she will have to face."

Tsunade nodded. "You may. Oh, one more thing, Tenten, before I hand you over to him."

"Yes, Tsunade-sama?"

"Hoguwatsu, the school you'll be going to, is not exactly a civilian school... this school is a school of magic."

Tenten blinked. "What?" she asked, looking between Tsunade and Dumbledore as if searching for answers. Was Tsunade joking? Playing with her?

Both Tsunade and Dumbledore had serious faces, but their eyes were twinkling.

"A...are you serious?" Tenten asked cautiously.

Dumbledore smiled. "Well, Tenten," he said, smiling with a twinkle in his eye, "You have been enrolled in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Tenten stared.

Author's Note:

Hey guys! To many of you that know me... I know, I have no business in writing another story when I have so many to finish. But I was really stumped and this just had to come out... Therefore I have written this little thing. Actually, I'd expect to be finished with this before anything else, really.
This is sort of a prologue, I guess. The explanation of the beginning.
This is sort of a branch off of my earlier oneshot, Of Cages and Snakes. I've never exactly written Harry Potter fanfiction before as Naruto seems to be my speciality, so please be nice and review?

Ja Ne,
