Okay several people have started stories like these and never freaking finished. I love kakashi x harry potter books (just the books ppl)
So therefore I've decided to do my own and have already over forty pages done! But I promise to make the updates a little branched out and not all at once. Lol. I'm not done with it anway.
Summary: Dumbledore has gone to Konoha to get some help and comes back with an angsty and emotional ANBU Kakashi in his teens. The teenager is angry thinking that protecting a kid from a dead man is the worst thing that could have ever happened to him and can't stand the new world he's in. Technically because the once genius of the Leaf Village looks like a total DORK in Hogwarts. Embarrassed and beyond words Kakashi tries to keep his identity a secret and be just apart of the student body, but these wizards are getting on his last nerves especially Harry. And what's so wrong with Draco? The problem is in the triwizard tournament and Kakashi is now a contestant. Oh and lets not forget that the snaky signs showing up might not be Voldermort at all….This mission will end up more than a headach or vacation no matter what Kakashi thinks.

Kakashi stood in front of the monument staring at the names in front of him with that same numb feeling that hit him every time. The wind blew threw his hair and the trees swayed back and forth. A hand touched the cool stone. His index finger ran across the carved names.
One by one he traced their outlines.
Obito.
Rin.
Minato.
With a heavy sigh he ended the last curve of the 'O' in Minato's name before turning away whispering a quick apology. He had less than an hour left before he was supposed to check in at the ANBU headquarters for his next assignment. Kakashi's last S-ranked mission ended at eleven-thirty yesterday when he'd crossed the barrier into the Hidden Leaf Village.
Deciding to get home quickly Kakashi ran up the side of one building before leaping onto another. It was still under construction from the attack three months ago.
Sarutobi leaned back in his chair smoking his pipe and staring at the missions in front of him. He'd had hoped never to sit back in this office after he'd retired. There had been enough bloodshed by his order, but now it seemed that there wasn't a choice. Someone had to pick up the pieces after Minato's death and it was made very clear that until further notice the elders thought he was the best choice.
They weren't the ones signing the mission reports.
And to make matters worse there were still tensions between the Sand and the Leaf. Both of the villages had come up as the super powers after the second Great War that just ended two years ago. Unfortunately now the villages and their allies were in a cold war. Threats and small skirmishes were starting to become frequent around the borders.
The Third Hokaga had already seen two Great Wars. One he fought in and the other he commanded from the safety of his home as acting leader. This was not something he wanted to see again.
He didn't think the Leaf could handle another large scale war.
There was a knock at his door and a chunin came in with a nervous look on his face. The chunin Rai apologized quickly for the intrusion with the same nerves showing in his voice. Intrigued and suspicious the Third pulled out his pipe and stared at the male with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm sorry sir," the chunin stammered. "I know that you request that we take all clients on the second floor, but this one wanted to see you personally…and well he….he's not from any of the villages."
Sarutobi frowned, "There are other villages than the great surrounding ones Rai. Many of them are to small to have their own ninja services."
"Yes sir, but this one isn't from our lands. I think he's from the outside." As the chunin said it he got sort of white in the face. It was understandable to an extent. The villages existed in complete secrecy from the outside world. As far as other places were concerned this world didn't exist. There were not men who could walk on the ceiling, get inside your head, or even move faster than the eye could follow.
To have an outsider in his office could mean a major breach in security that would risk millions of lives in not just the Leaf, but every other village.
"Tell no one and send him in. I do hope that you're the only one to have picked up on this Rai." His voice was dark and completely business. The chunin nodded. Only a select few that worked in direct contact with the acting Hokaga knew about the outside world.
"I'm the only one who saw him." Rai nodded and turned outside before ushering the man in.
Sarutobi stared at the figure in front of him as an older looking male came into the room. A white bearded man with half spectacles and an eccentric robe despite the weather came into his office. The old man gave a smile and spoke in near perfect Japanese without a trace of the English accent Sarutobi was sure he was supposed to have.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you Lord Hokaga."
He held out a hand and Sarutobi took it recognizing it for the English custom it was. "You may call me Sarutobi wizard." The Third gave him a half smile. "I never thought I'd be seeing any of your kind in our land again. In fact none of my predecessors thought so either. We were sure that you'd leave us alone."
If it came off as being cold and insulting the wizard in front of him didn't show that he'd caught it that way. Instead his eyes twinkled in a clear contrast to Sarutobi's weary ones. "I'd hoped that you'd know about us. It saves a lot of explaining though I have to say it took forever to find the remnants of the shinobi kind. You covered your tracks well enough when both of us departed from the worlds eyes centuries of years ago."
"That's what we specialize in I'm afraid." Sarutobi nodded towards the chair in front of his desk and the long bearded man sat down across from him. "I know enough about your kind and you know all you need to know about ours if you've found us. Even that may be to much."
The man nodded. "I agree. When it comes to hiding even the most trivial of information can lead to your down fall, but you have no need to worry Sarutobi because I'm here about something that affects the both of us. A business trip if you will."
The Third didn't look all convinced. He was the only in the village he knew about the "other people" who lived across the oceans and hid from the world. "Magic users" they called themselves or in other words "wizards and witches." From what he read they were a peaceful group of people most of the time who made deal with several of the clan heads because this was before most villages had even been dreamed of, to stay out of their business if the clans stayed out of theirs. The culture difference between the two cut deep and in the end both shielded themselves away from the world and each other using veils.
"I'm sorry," Sarutobi spoke leaning back. "I don't believe I've been given your name."
"Oh of course because I did not give it and you did not ask. My name is Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts a school for young wizards. I'm afraid we might be in need of your assistance."
Kakashi paused in front of the building that looked like a normal filing house near the edge of the village. In fact it was ANBU headquarters with some of the tightest security, but to make sure that the others didn't know of its true purpose the rouse that he was merely an old storage facility for the hospital was kept up. When you walked through the door there were even normal dressed ninja playing chunins normally two at a time going through paperwork. Akito and Kira were their names and they had been two ANBU captains for a year before getting the job.
They no longer took missions.
The graying Akito nodded as Kakashi passed, but didn't say a word. Kira didn't even bother to look up from the book he'd been reading behind the old desk.
The back had been completely transformed. At the top floor were showers and even beds for the ANBU members. The bottom floor was full of conference rooms and files containing emergency plans for several different attacks on the village. It was constantly updated along with the largest data base of missing nins that existed. It was a full functioning machine of spies assassins and some of the more experimental weaponry.
For the past three months Kakashi had called it home.
He changed into his uniform on the second floor from an unmarked locker. He placed on the white mask and Kantana, but left the cloak behind. He really hated that thing and wore it only when necessary. Besides it was more for the Hokaga's body guards than the mission ANBU.
When the mask covered his face he knew immediately that he was no longer Kakashi, but wolf. He was no longer a human being, but a machine. He didn't feel and he didn't care. He could move so much easier like this.
Walking into the Heads office he waited until the ANBU on duty Panda nodded him forwards before going into Roosters den. The Head of ANBU was unknown to all of its members. It was for his safety that the men and women he sent out into the fields on some of the most dangerous missions didn't know who he was. Most ninja's didn't come back sane and could turn on his family.
Assuming Rooster had a family.
Kakashi was completely dumbfounded when it came to that point.
"Wolf you just got in yesterday. You are not getting another mission."
Rooster's voice was gruff in the plan white office. There was paper work and a desk, but that was it. No personal belongings could be found in the office. Like Kakashi saw it, once you became ANBU you ceased to be human.
"I didn't get any injuries. I can do field work." Wolf's voice was just as cold.
Rooster stared at him from behind the mask. "There isn't anything for me to give you. Regardless of what you might think we don't have a national crisis everyday for you to be running off to so you can risk your neck. If you're looking to die you've got the wrong night. Why don't you go home and try again tomorrow." It wasn't a question or a suggestion, but an order.
Kakashi stood their firmly without moving. Rooster was the only one privileged to know the ages and back ground information on his employees other than the Hokaga. Kakashi was used to him trying to give him the easier missions or not putting him on one. He was young and it hurt in the eyes his superiors. To wolf it was annoying.
"Then will you sign my order to go to the border." For months now he'd been trying to get to the border where most of the action had been taken place. He wanted to be a busy as possible, needed it.
"No. You're skills are needed where I can get a hold of you fast. I'm not wasting your talents on the border boy, be lucky that I'm using you at all." This time Rooster did look a little tired as he sat down. "If you've got a problem with my orders than take it up with the Hokaga. He's the one that assigns the missions, I just decide how we handle them. You know that."
Behind his mask Wolf frowned slightly because he knew. And he been to see Sarutobi about it on more than one occasion, but since the attack the old man had given him the minimal amount of high ranked missions. It was not satisfying.
"Yes sir," Kakashi turned on his heel. He was about to leave the office when in a puff of smoke Turtle stood in front of them. A direct contact between the Hokaga and Rooster she and two others were the only ones allowed to use the teleportation jutsu between the two offices. Anyone else would have been killed on the spot.
"Commander," Turtle nodded. "Lord Hokaga requests Wolf's assistance at his office for a brief on a special assignment."
Kakashi was stunned staring at the woman in front of him. The idea that Sarutobi was actually calling him in on a special mission was mind blowing. Rooster inclined his head towards the messenger and nodded stiffly. "Take him with you then. Wolf."
Without waiting for another word Kakashi being smaller touched Turtles hand and the world turned before he found himself righted again in the Third's office. The old man was drinking tea with an even older male with a grim smile on his face.
"Thank you Turtle." The woman nodded and disappeared again, though she was never far. Kakashi took a moment to stare at the odd man in front of him noticing that the same was happening to him. Both figures seemed to size each other up and even as the man smiled warmly Kakashi found himself close to laughing.
"Who the hell dresses like that?" the ANBU thought before turning to the Third. "Wolf reporting as summoned Lord Hokaga." Kakashi didn't bother with bowing anymore, he'd gotten out of that when he'd turned Chunin years ago. Instead he stood stiffly waiting for a response.
"Wolf this is Dumbledore. He'll be your client if you accept the mission."
The old man didn't bother with holding a hand out this time, but nearly nodded at the male in front of him in greeting. He seemed a little taken back from the sword and mask hanging on his body as well as the armor. Kakashi was slightly pleased because he'd worked hard to earn that tattoo that shinned in the fluorescent light.
Sarutobi watched the two of them before rubbing his temples. He'd spent the afternoon listening to what the male in front of him had said and none of it was good. The idea that someone like this Voldemort existed could spell the end for both their civilizations. Despite the tensions at home Sarutobi saw that he had no choice but to send one of greater ninjas to do the job. It had to be done and the money would be well worth it.
The list of candidates had been a small one, but as he'd gone through them in his head there was one only one that stuck out.
Kakashi Hatake.
The sixteen year old would be able to blend in and get in close with the charge, a boy known as Harry Potter whom would be the prime target and had been the prime target of this Voldemort character for three years. It wasn't only that, but the Third was immensely worried about Kakashi. Over the past three months he'd taken more missions than most do in six. And over half of them were A-ranked and S-ranked. A year away to spend at this school might do him some good. Besides now that he didn't have Minato's protection the Uchihas were becoming more aggressive. One had even attacked Kakashi with the intent to kill the male when he was practicing a little over a month ago. This would create a distance between the clan and Kakashi that might do the both of them some good.
In fact the more Sarutobi thought about it the more he was sure it was the right choice. They didn't call him Professor for nothing.
"The mission is a year mission guarding a very valuable client in questionable environment," Sarutobi started to explain. "It'll be far away from the Village, but it's necessary. It's S-ranked and should be approached with the greatest of caution."
"I'll take it." Kakashi cut him off. Sarutobi stared at him for a second sure that he'd only heard the words "S-ranked" and "Greatest caution". How suicidal was the male? Sarutobi was about to have second thoughts.
"I'm glad that you agree," Dumbledore nodded smiling. His eyes still twinkled as he stared at the man in front of him.
"Right. Well we're not done here. Wolf you'll depart tomorrow at twelve hundred hours sharp with Dumbledore in this office. Go home and pack. We have more to discuss. Dismissed." Kakashi nodded and was about ready to teleport when Dumbledore spoke up.
"We'll have to go shopping when we get there. You won't need to bring much with you."
As if remembering his manners Kakashi bowed with his mask still on. "Hai Dumbledore-san. Third." And with that he disappeared.
Sarutobi stared at the smoke shaking his head. "He barely knows you and he's showing you more respect than he does me."
Dumbledore chuckled softly. In the past few hours that they'd been talking the wizard and Hokaga had taken a liking to one another. "Magic using your fingers. It simply amazes me. Useful, very useful."
Sarutobi nodded. "Right well you need to see his profile before you decide; I normally wouldn't do this, but this is a delicate situation."
"I take it his names not Wolf than?" Dumbledore grinned and adjusted his glasses.
"No. It's Hatake Kakashi." Sarutobi walked over to the window and knocked. In an instant Turtle appeared on the balcony and opened the widow. "Do you have his file?"
The woman nodded and wordlessly handed it over before leaving. Sarutobi sat down and broke the seal of the folder and pulled out several papers. "This is Kakashi's files and though you cannot see them I'll read to you some things that you need to hear."
"Security reasons?" Dumbledore questioned before taking another sip of tea.
"Yes," Sarutbi nodded with another smirk. "I guess from an outsiders point of view there are to many security measures in place."
"Not at all," Dumbledore shook his head. "You have a duty to protect your people as well as your workers. I understand."
Sarutobi nodded. "Back to Kakashi. His resume is one of the highest in the villages. He graduated our academy at seven with a perfect score and quickly advanced up the ranks to junin at fourteen."
"Impressive," Dumbledore nodded. "Considering the fact that he had to also become chunin between those years I assume. From what you've told me that's a great feat."
"It is," the Third agreed. "He's sixteen and yet he's taken some of the harshest missions and I'm afraid I'm being very selfish by putting him up to this one. You see he had a team. The four man system I explained to you earlier."
Dumbledore gave Sarutobi his complete attention being polite. The Third had realized earlier that manners were a great thing to the wizard. "During the war on his first mission as leader when he was fourteen one of his team mates was taken prisoner." Sarutobi pulled out a copy of Team Seven's photo. It was the same one as Kakashi had with the three of them and Minato holding Kakashi and Obito under one of his hands. He laid it on the table and pointed to the brown haired girl giggling in the middle.
"Rin. Kakashi and Obito were the only two left because Minato had gone ahead to secure the area. It was Kakashi's mission to lead his three man team to the bridge. When they lost Rin he wanted to continue with the mission, but Obito wanted to go back for the girl."
Looking at the three children Dumbledore was slightly reminded of Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
"We have laws set." The Third leaned back puffing on his pipe. "One of the laws and the most important is that the mission comes first. Kakashi has a firsthand experience of what happens when you don't. His father year before this mission took place was in Kakashi's position. Instead of the mission he chose his team. In the end he saved his teammates, but lost the mission. It helped to start a war and cost the village a lot of money. When they returned instead of being thanked for returning them to their families the very men he saved turned on Kakashi's father, Sukumo. Sukumo had been dishonored and scorned causing the villagers to put their wrath on him. It wasn't until Kakashi saw him as a failure that Sukumo began to drink and killed himself. Kakashi found him at their home with a sword in his stomach. He'd committed seppuku and even asked his son to cut off his head while he was dying. Needless to say Kakashi didn't want to go after Rin, but instead wanted to write her off and finish the mission and finish the mission no matter how much it hurt him."
"Obito had other plans. The two got in a fight before Obito went after Rin on his own. Eventually Kakashi followed having a change of heart and they rescued the girl. On their way home however they were attacked and Obito saved Kakashi at the cost of his own life." Sarutobi paused to give Dumbledore a chance to ask questions by taking a sip of tea.
To his surprise the man didn't say anything, but looked thoughtful. He saw a flicker of that twinkle in the wizard's eye die.
"A year after that Rin was killed healing Kakashi. They'd been on a mission together and he'd received a serious injury. Instead of leaving him she used all her chakra preserves to save him. He woke up in the woods drenched in blood and beside him she was dead. Three months ago we were attacked by the nine tailed fox. One of the beats I was telling you about earlier. To save the village his sensei Minato," Sarutobi placed a finger on the blonde laughing man in the middle, "used a forbidden jutsu that sealed the beast at the cost of his life. He was the last person that Kakashi was close to."
Sarutobi caught Dumbledore's eyes staring at the silver haired boy in the picture who was easily scowling behind his mask.
"Since then he's demanded some of the most dangerous missions. My idea is that he's only accepted this one because it's S-ranked. He sticks by the rules that were challenged by Obito years ago. The mission comes first. Emotions are weakness. He is a tool of this village and will act like one." Sarutobi's voice was cold as he stared into Dumbledore's eyes. "He is not a boy, but a killer. A trained killer who wouldn't show mercy to a baby if it was his mission. As his client you will tell him what you expect and he will follow the orders he's given."
"If that is true Sarutobi," Dumbledore cut in. "If he's just a tool then why are you telling me all this?"
"Because he's a refined blade that could shatter."
Dumbledore knew immediately what Sarutobi meant by those words.
"He's a genius and the one of the only few I can spare. However, now that you know about his past and how he might act I will give you a choice." The Shinobi sat back judging the wizard. "Do you want him? I can call someone else in here in a second. These are your students he'll be around. If you think you can trust him then you can have him. He's the best we can offer you at the moment considering the tensions."
Dumbledore smiled ghostly, "Do you trust him?"
Sarutobi raised an eyebrow before answering. "At this point I'm not sure, but if I was a gambling man I would say yes."
The smile on the wizard's face widened. "Then I'll take him."
Kakashi showed up at the office exactly at twelve hundred hours. In his hand was a backpack filled with cloths and weapons. He traveled light.
"Ah Kakashi. " Dumbledore shook his hand finally getting to see the boy without the porcelain mask, but still in ANBU uniform. Sarutobi was there with a hawk sitting on his desk in a wire cage.
"You'll take this bird with you to send me a report." Kakashi nodded taking his hand away from Dumbledore to grab the cage. "Dumbledore will debrief you when you get to Hogwarts your location."
Kakashi nodded and stepped back. There were no farewells as the young ninja turned to Dumbledore expecting instructions.
"We'll leave in a few minutes. We'll be using a portkey," Dumbledore took out an old looking key. Kakashi swung the pack on his back and picked up the bird cage. "It's a simple teleportation device designed to take you long distances."
This time Kakashi spared Sarutobi a questioning glance. "Ah Kakashi he's a wizard. Much like a western Shinobi."
"Shinobi my ass," Kakashi thought. None the less he held on to the key as instructed and waited feeling like an idiot until the world spun around him.
When he came to he felt a little queasy and found himself in a completely different area. The skeptisim that he'd had before was gone. The portkey thing actually worked.
Kakashi found himself on the side of what looked like a street beside the old wizard Dumbledore. " I hope the trip wasn't to bad. This is Diagon Alley, the place where we'll be getting your things for school." Dumbledore spoke whipping dust off of his ropes. "And now, I assume that Sarutobi explained some things to you after I was seen to my hotel for the night?"
Kakashi nodded because sure enough Sarutobi had shown up at the door of his apartment and told him about these western wizards. He'd explained that they used their chakra or as they called it "magic" by wands, hexes, curses, etc. Kakashi was going undercover to the school as a student from an eastern wizard school. He gave him a pretty good explanation, but staring around Kakashi was sure he was never going to blend in with this crowd. The clothes and robes they were wearing were completely odd. He frowned behind his mask.
"Well you're a smart lad. If you have any questions fill free to ask. Any at all. In the mean time I think it's best we visit Ollivander's shop to find you a wand." Dumbledore started off and Kakashi snorted and rolled his one revealed eye the other hidden by his hentai-ate. Wands. He'd heard about them to and he wasn't looking forward to getting one.
The looks they got from what Kakashi assumed were other wizards and witches were humorous. They stared blatantly at him as if he was the odd looking one. Funny he was thinking the same thing.
Ignoring the looks he followed Dumbledore into a shop where a funny small man stood behind the counter. "Hey can I-Professor Dumbledore!"
Kakashi frowned. The only words he'd understood were Dumbledore.
He watched confused as his client met with whom he again assumed was Ollivander. They greeted each other and Dumbledore turned to Kakashi and said something in the funny language again. Putting two and two together Kakashi bowed and spoke in Japanese.
Ollivander raised both eyebrows and spurted at the language while Dumbledore laughed. Kakashi grew frustrated and stared at his client. Was this guy and idiot?
"Of course. I forgot." Dumbledore held up his wand and said another word that he didn't understand. With a flick of his wrist he grinned at Kakashi. "Can you understand me now?"
Kakashi nodded. "Yes I can." Surprisingly enough he heard the foreign language come out of his own mouth. "Thank you Dumbledore."
"Professor Dumbledore," Dumbledore corrected putting away the stick. "I'm should've put that spell on you earlier. It would have made things so much simpler, but I'm afraid I was enjoying talking in Japanese a little to much. Ollivander he needs a wand. He's going to start at Hogwarts this year. I know it's sort notice considering the school year starts in two days, but would you mind?"
Kakashi raised his one eyebrow. Two days? That was all the time he was going to get to scope out his new "home". This was great. The guy really was an idiot.
Ollivander seemed delighted especially hearing that Kakashi was a foreign from all the way in Japan. He'd never heard of a school in Japan before. Dumbledore explained that it was fairly rural and that one of the reasons Kakashi was coming to Hogwarts this year was to create a better relation with the small village he came from.
They spent the next hour putting stick after stick into Kakashi's hands asking him to wave it. Kakashi wasn't amused, but Ollivander was excited and Dumbledore looked amused at the back of the shop.
"Well well," Ollivander grinned. "I haven't had this much trouble since Potter." He grinned wider. "Indeed Indeed. What to do now?"
Kakashi wanted to reach over and slap him.
"Aha! I know." And with that the man walked behind several shelves. Kakashi sighed and focused knowing that Dumbledore was watching him. Wizards were so out there.
Ollivander returned later with a small box. He laid it on the table and drew out a very light brown wand. If Kakashi didn't know any better it looked almost white.
"This is one that came in the other day." Ollivander explained quickly. "Came from across the sea in an eastern island and though I'm not sure if it's from Japan or not it's worth a try. One of my suppliers got it off a tree though I'm not sure which one you see." At this Ollivander seemed embarrassed because he wasn't sure about anything when it came to the wand.
Kakash stared deadpanned before reaching out a gloved hand and pulling the wand out of Ollivanders hand. Almost immediately he felt a tingle run up his right arm. A second later there was a bright white spark that started at the end of the wand before disappearing. Kakashi was slightly startled. It looked like his chakra and most notably his chidori.
"Ah wonderful!" Ollivander seemed pleased. He talked the transaction of money over with Dumbledore. Several Gallons, whatever they were, but the Dumbledore was covering it so Kakashi didn't care as he stuck the wand in his backpack.
To him it was a stupid thing. When they got out it was almost dark and Dumbledore hummed slightly. "Took a little longer than I thought, but I'm glad we found a right match. Let's get your robes before we go and I'll have your books shipped over."
Kakashi nodded not really caring. His eye was scanning the crowd. They were still looking at him funny or more importantly the bird in his hands. The Hawk's eyes were covered with leather as he sat on his perch perfectly still as he breathed in and out, but the look was fierce.
It was worse than expected. They spent the next hour getting him three robes and the school uniform. It was annoying as the woman scurried around apparently happy to see Dumbledore out and wanting to do a good job for the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Kakashi didn't think it was big deal to be the head of a school, but Dumbledore was a big guy here to everyone else. He decided it wasn't his place to question it so he let it go.
"Ah well that should be it." Dumbledore nodded when the two finally made it to a large castle. It was getting late, but Kakashi was still up trying to memorize every aspect of the building as Dumbledore led him through the area.
"The castle itself is full of enchantments that even I don't understand that help protect those who inhabit it." Kakashi watched the funny looking furniture and pictures. All of a sudden someone in the picture moved and his hand went towards his hidden weapon.
"Dumbledore." The picture nodded and blinked. Kakashi stared back slightly awed. "Do all your pictures talk?" He asked Dumbledore as they continued on.
The man nodded. "Some statues do as well. In this world Kakashi you'll have to understand that some objects are not just objects." Kakashi frowned. He didn't like the sound of that. "Oh and another thing you cannot use appariaton techniques in the building."
Kakashi stared at him and stopped walking. "That means nothing to me."
Dumbledore frowned. "Oh well the technique you used to leave Sarutobi's office to go home. Try it and see if it works."
Kakashi looked at him. "Teleportation jutsu?" Dumbledore nodded believing that was the one. Kakashi tried it and was surprised when it didn't work. Dumbledore just grinned. "Right. That's your version of what we call apparating. There is a spell on this castle that stops you from doing that. Security reasons of course."
Kakashi nodded. He wasn't pleased about it, but it seemed that he didn't have a choice.
"For now you can use this room," Dumbledore stopped and opened the door. "After school starts we'll put you in your permanent accommodations for this year. " Kakashi nodded walking into the small room. There was a bathroom to the left and a simple bed. He placed his things down and stared at Dumbledore. It was late and he'd yet to have anything to eat, but he wasn't going to complain.
Unfortunately the wizard seemed to know exactly what was wrong with him without it being voiced aloud. "Now I would like for you to accompany me to the dining hall. The staff comes in early before the students and we eat our meals together. This would be a good time for me to introduce you." He smiled with twinkling eyes before turning expecting Kakashi to follow. "Besides I'm hungry."
Kakashi wanted to have a complete tour around the perimeter himself. The place was huge and the first thing anyone did in any situation was to check their surroundings. Dumbledore must not have seen it that way, but he held his tongue. He planned to check out the place after everyone was asleep. It would be better anyway in his opinion.
"We'll just meet the staff," Kakashi told himself. "That's probably more important than the building. And I still need to be debriefed." He was hoping to have been told about his mission right when they got there, but his client didn't seem to keen on giving that information right now. Dumbledore was a funny one, but if he didn't answer Kakashi's questions by tomorrow he planned on making it clear he would leave.
"This mission better be worth it," Kakashi thought. They walked into a large room with a tall ceiling. The group that was in there was a bunch of older men and women Kakashi assumed were supposed to be the teachers. They were all wearing those robes.
Like the wizards and witches on the streets they looked at him curiously and even a little weary. He guessed it was the armor of his uniform, his mask, or maybe even his head band.
"Dumbledore."
Kakashi looked and saw a slight transparent figure. He stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes. He knew what that was, but he still couldn't believe his eyes. "Genjutsu?" he thought. No one else seemed bothered by it though so he merely looked at Dumbledore his senses heighted.
"Ghosts?"
Dumbledore looked back at him smirking again. It irked Kakashi how he seemed to not have a care in the world. "Yes. Hogwarts has several ghost residences. This is Nearly Headless Nick. The others include the Baron and of course Peeves. If you see Peeves be weary he likes to play around."
Dumbledore approached the table and everyone stopped waiting for some explanation.
"Good evening." Dumbledore took his spot at the head of the table. With the wave of his wand he had another place for Kakashi who was slightly impressed. Maybe there was a use for those stupid sticks after all.
"I've come home from my trip in Japan." Dumbledore explained, "And I brought a new student with me. A transfer from a village."
Kakashi gave Dumbledore a sharp look as he sat down. His hand strayed towards his kunai hidden in the pouch of on his leg. The man knew that his village was secret, so he had no problems with killing the elderly male.
Thankfully he didn't have to.
"This is Kakashi Hatake and he's here for his many talents," Dumbledore explained. "He'll be in the fourth year to help keep an eye on Harry. And although he is a wizard in some sense he is not accustomed to the way we perform magic. I'm afraid he'll be as far behind as a first year, but I've been assured that he is a bright student."
"So he's here to be Potter's body guard." Kakashi caught sight of the male who'd said the comment with easy loathing. He was sallow-faced, hook-nosed, and greasy haired. Kakashi wasn't particularly happy with the way he looked.
Dumbledore was unconcerned about him. "Yes Snape due to the fact that Voldermort has made several attempts at Harry's life I thought it necessary to go beyond the Ministry and bring extra help." The teachers at the desk nodded.
"Excuse me, but how do you expect him to fit in with the students?" a small man asked. "No offense Kakashi, but you don't seem able to blend in with your grey hair chap."
Kakashi bit his tongue under his mask. His hair was something that he didn't really enjoy others talking about.
"I'm afraid he's right Kakashi," Dumbledore cut in. "Masks are not allowed at Hogwarts because it's not a part of the uniform."
Kakashi sighed. He'd seen this coming from a mile away. When they said he'd have to blend in he'd expected to take off the mask, but still doing it made him feel uncomfortable. He had been hoping for a little longer.
Giving in to his client he nodded before pulling the mask off. "My age won't be a problem." When he removed the fabric and his friend the teachers gasped.
"He's just a boy."
"Yes Minerva he is just a boy, but I promise you that he is more than qualified to help Harry. Especially since the tournament is coming up this year, I'll tell you about it later Kakashi. Now that you've been introduced let me take the time to introduce him to you."
Kakashi followed the introductions easily enough. There was a tidy lady called Professor McGonagall, the tiny man had been Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Sinistra, the ghost, Professor Snape, and a large man at the end called Professor Hagrid. Kakashi was sure that this Hagrid guy could crush him with his finger if he got the chance. He was told there was other teachers he'd be meeting later.
"Now," Dumbledore said. "It's been a long day let's eat."
With a wave of his wand food appeared and they soon dug into the food. Kakashi forced himself to eat slow. Living the life he did he'd learned to eat what he could as fast as he could. It might not have been healthy, but it was the only way to stay nourished on the battlefield.
"You know Kakashi you can't wear that head band either," Cut in Professor McGonagall.
"It looks disastrous," Snape added.
"This is normal attire where I come from." Kakashi spoke swallowing what looked like a piece of meat. The food was odd too. Not bad tasting, but the texture was different. "With all due respect if you'd come walking through my village wearing those robes you wouldn't get far. The head band stays."
It was the most he'd said all day, but Kakashi was serious. He didn't have to look at Dumbledore or the staff to know that they were slightly shocked.
"If you're going to go to this school you have to dress appropriately." Snape spoke again. Kakashi stared at him with a dead eye.
"No. I will take the mask off, but I refuse to take off the headband."
"You won't blend in with the other students that way," Dumbledore spoke softly so only Kakashi could hear him.
"Then change its appearance," Kakashi spoke looking at the Headmaster. "I will not take it off, but you've done a lot with that stick so why don't you change it?"
Apparently he'd insulted the staff and Dumbledore. The smile that had been on that wizards face all day finally seemed completely forced.
"Disrespectful and ignorant." Snape chided. "Where did you find him Dumbledore in a back alley?"
"It's called a wand Kakashi," Dumbledore spoke softly. "I can put an enchantment to change the way it looks, but I don't understand why I have to."
"Fair enough," Kakashi thought. "He doesn't know about the eye. The Third must've decided to give me that edge." Sighing Kakashi nodded and faked sincerity. "Look beneath the underneath," he thought to himself.
"I'm sorry, gomen." He made sure to use both languages on purpose. He put his fork down and pressed his lips together. "There is nothing wrong with me taking it off. It's just I have a scar." He reached behind him and undid the fabric pulling it off. He made sure the sharingan was closed and all you'd be able to see was the scar.
"I've only got one eye and it tends to gain attention. Would you mind if I wore a patch instead?" Kakashi knew the scar was a gruesome sight.
"Ah," his client seemed to be the only one who wasn't in slight shock. "We'll make an exception for you." Kakashi nodded and put back on his headband looking grateful. He was glad he'd packed that patch in his back to replace the head band later.
"At least you don't want to make a spectacle of yourself." Kakashi heard Snape as he leaned over his food and smirked a little. It seemed he'd gained the grouchy one's approval.
The rest of the meal went on without another hitch. Kakashi could tell from the stares every now and then that they were curious, but it seemed talking about their own vacations with each other was more interesting. That was fine with him because he'd hoped to pick up things. Unfortunately he had no idea about Hogsmead or other things.
What the heck was Quidditch?
"I just can't believe that the Ministry was really going to charge Mr. Crouch's elf with what they did," Professor Flitwick spoke. "Honestly the Ministry is getting out of hand lately."
"That poor creature," Kakashi swore he heard the large man near him, Hagrid, mumble under his breath.
"What should concern you Flitwick is not the elf, but the dark mark reappearing." Snape chided coldly. "This is not a good sign. Nor should the fact that it was Harry's wand that the elf used should be left unnoticed." The last part was a mumble as well.
Kakashi never would have seen Junín talk that to one another in hushed mumbles. It seemed that the faculty of the school had several things against each other. Very different views from the way Hagrid was staring at Snape now. It was a wonder the large man didn't jump across the table.
"Yes well this is a clear sign that You-Know-Who or at least his followers are getting stronger. And a time like this when the Triwizard Tournament is supposed to be held at the school." Professor Sinistra shook her head.
Kakashi had had enough of this. No he did not know debriefing he was supposed to receive was obviously not going to come tonight seeing as it was already dark outside, but he wanted answers. This was to much. And now a tournament?
"I'll be surprised if Death Eaters don't start showing their faces soon," Chided in Hagrid.
"Excuse me," cut in Kakashi. "Who exactly is this You-Know-Who, this dark mark, or Triwizard tournament you're all talking about?"
The table got deathly quiet.
"Ah that's right your debriefing," Dumbledore shook his head. "I was hoping to give it to you tomorrow." At this Kakashi rolled his eye. "But it seems that you should know tonight."
"A while ago a dark wizard using magic reeked havoc on our world. His name was Lord Voldermort."
At the sound of the villains name Kakashis saw several of the teachers flinch.
Flitwick put down his fork. "If we're going to talk about this I'm done eating." The little teacher put his plate as far away from him as he could.
Kakashi was intrigued not by the male, but by their reactions. "And what happened to this Voldermort?" He was intrigued by the fact that again several teachers hissed when he used the word.
"Boy you don't say his name." Snape spoke. "To you he is simply He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the slimy looking man. "You have got to be kidding me."
"I'm afraid that he's right," Dumbledore took a sip of his drink almost looking unconcerned. "Most of the wizards don't call him by his name due to the fear that he put in their hearts I'm afraid. He was a very dangerous man and most still remember what it was like to live while he was plaguing their lives. If you want to blend in with the students you would be best to remember that."
"I'm still concerned that you don't know him," McGonagall spoke out. "I was sure that his tyranny was known throughout the entire wizard community."
"We tend to keep to ourselves," Kakashi spoke giving he woman a smile. She was a little snotty for his taste, but he didn't want the staff against him. "I bet he's nothing compared to Oroachimaru though," Kakashi thought. "Now there's a basket case."
He took a sip of drink. "You said while he was still alive so he's dead then?" Kakashi stared at the man feeling anger swell in his breast. There was no way that he'd been drug half across the world to protect a snotty little brat from a dead man.
"Yes as far as we know he died when he attacked Harry Potter about fourteen years ago."
Kakashi stared at Dumbledore letting the question come out in his look. "Then why am I here?"
"Unfortunately when Harry started at the school he's been attacked by those linked to Voldemort and I'm afraid that he might be preparing to come back. It is vital that Harry is protected."
Kakashi nodded understanding. "All right. What's the dark mark then?"
"Honestly he is not going to pass as a fourth year Dumbledore," Snape cut in. "Does he even know what a wand is? Better yet does he have one?"
"Yes I do," Kakashi spoke up. "I'll figure it out Sir, If you'll let me do my job." He spoke rather harshly and glared at the offending male.
"Right well Kakashi the Dark Mark shows up as Voldemorts sign. As for the Triwizard Tournament its nothing for you to worry about seeing as you won't be participating in it and neither with Potter."
"Fine." Kakashi nodded.
When the meal was through and he was dismissed Kakashi spent the rest of the night going around the castle.
Dumbledore had been right. Other portraits moved and so did several objects. He also caught site of a few small creatures moving around. They had long ears and even longer noses and were covered in meager clothing. All they seemed to be doing was cleaning up, so he let them be.
Kakashi had wanted to go out and see the grounds, but that seemed harder than anything. Especially when a portrait started to sing every time he got close to the exit. Deciding to leave it for later Kakashi called it a night and went to bed.
The next day he spent his time mapping out the rest of Hogwarts and was given a proper tour. He was told were he could leave his Hawk assuming they wouldn't eat the owls and was even told a little about the terms he might hear used.
"Muggle Kakashi is those who can't use magic," McGonagall explained. "A pureblood is a wizard whose parents were both wizards and a mudblood is someone who has muggle and wizard blood. I'm afraid to say that some students are very prejudice about this so I wanted you to know about it before they get here."
When Kakashi was satisfied that he'd been debriefed by Dumbledore enough later today and that he'd mentally mapped out the castle he sat down and wrote a note to the Third.

Writing with quill and ink was something new, but he figured it out. Just as he figured out how to use a fork, knife, and spoon. It was addressed to Leaf in code and was signed with the mission security code as well as Kakashi's code that was updated every four months. It was the most secure way to make sure that if the message got in wrong hands everything would be okay.
After sending the Hawk off he laid in bed looking at the ceiling. Tomorrow school would start for the students and he would meet his charge. The idea of the whole thing didn't bother him at all. Voldemort didn't seem to be an issue.
"Damn you," Kakashi whispered to the third. He wasn't stupid and now realized that he'd been given a fools errand. Nothing was supposed to be done here. This was a mission that would be suited for a genin in fact. The third had only given it to him to make sure that he couldn't take any more S or A-ranked missions.
He was treating him like a child.
"Son of a bitch," He muttered again into the air before popping two pills and falling asleep.
