Chapter 1
In the Reptile House,
A 10 year old child was wandering around the Reptile House in fascination.
The child has light blond spiky hair, pointing to almost every direction, sea blue eyes and sun-kissed skin. He wore a black t-shirt, orange shorts, white socks that stop above his ankles and wore black and white sneakers.
He was by himself, humming a song that a friend named, Sumaru, had sung to him once, which was called 'Natsuhiboshi' or 'Summer Star'.
As the child continued on with his stroll he heard a boy screaming "Wake up!" along with a hand roughly hitting a glass wall.
The blond turned to his right and say a family of four. A very large man, a tall, skinny woman, a younger version of the very large man, and another child, who does not seem to belong with the family.
"He's asleep!" The child spoke to the chubby boy, who in return glared at him, before walking away to look at another reptile with the two adults right behind him.
Naruto had a curious look before walking toward the black-haired boy, who was mumbling something to the snake behind the glass, who seemed to have woken up.
"Wow!" The blond child said. "How did you do that?"
"Do what?" The boy said, startled at the blond's appearance.
"You woke him up! I wonder if he can understand you." He said, looking at the snake in amazement. "Can you understand us?" He said looking at the snake.
The two watched in shock and amazement when it nodded to them.
"Cool" They both said at the same time.
"I'm Harry Potter, what's your name?" The boy, now known as Harry Potter said.
"Oh, I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." The blond, now known as Naruto Uzumaki, grinned. "So who were those people just now? Your family?"
Harry shook his head.
"They're my relatives, sadly." Harry spoke, saying the last word quietly. "My parents died in a car crash, making them my guardians or something."
"Oh" Naruto said quietly.
"What about you-" Harry was cut off when he was pushed onto the floor by his cousin, Dudley Dursley.
"Mum! Dad! Look! Potter woke the snake up." He said before pressing his meaty hands and face against the glass.
Naruto was about to speak when he saw the glass that separated the snake from them and it's habitat disappeared, causing Dudley to fall over the railing and into the small pond, in the snake's territory.
Naruto watched in shock as that happened, but snapped out of it when he saw the large snake slithering over the railing and landing in front of them. It turned his head towards Harry, nodding its head in appreciation before hissing a "Thanks".
"No problem" Harry said in shock.
It then turned to Naruto, nodding at him, who just nodded back, right before it started to slither away from them, causing a commotion as it scared everyone else with its presence.
As this happened Dudley stood up from his place in the pond and was about to go over railing when he say the glass back in place, as if it had not just disappeared a second ago.
"Help!" Dudley shouted as he banged on the glass with his fist.
"Ah! Dudleykins!" Petunia Dursley shrieked as she pressed herself against the glass wall where her son was, on the other side of the glass.
Harry smiled a little enjoying the situation and watching happily of the event that is until his uncle came up to the with an outraged look on his red face.
"What happened?!" He yelled out loud angry about the situation. When he noticed Harry smiling and such, he then glared at the boy, who quieted himself when he noticed the look on Vernon Dursley's, his uncle's, face.
As this happened Naruto casted an invisibility jutsu and stood next to Harry, getting mire curious and curious every minute.
After the workers got Dudley out of the cage they all went in the car, well Harry and the Dursleys did as Naruto just sat on top of the car with ease, and went to their home.
As the car parked in the drive way Naruto quickly jumped off the car softly and stood near the door where Harry will get out at and watched as Harry's uncle grabbed Harry, slammed the door and dragged him inside the house with Naruto close behind.
Naruto was shocked at see Harry being pressed against the wall, near a door under the stairs, and how harsh his uncle was as Vernon pushed Harry inside the cupboard before locking it.
'Man this place is messed up!' Naruto exclaimed in his head.
Naruto waited till night hanging on the ceiling of the narrow hall before landing softly right in front of the cupboard door, knowing that the hosts of the 'lovely' home were a sleep.
"Harry?" Naruto whispered as he cancelled his invisibility jutsu.
"W-who's there?" The blond heard from the other side of the door.
"Harry it's me, Naruto." Naruto whispered.
"Naruto? How did you know this place and how did you get in?" Harry questioned in a shocked tone.
"We'll talk about that later, but do you want to leave this place?" Naruto asked.
"Of course, but I have no place to go." Naruto heard the sad tone in Harry's voice.
"I can take you in." Naruto said as he silently unlocked the door.
"You will?!" Harry exclaimed quietly in hope.
"Yeah so pack up." Naruto whispered as he opened the door to find Harry smiling at him.
"Thank you" Harry spoke before he pulled out dirty old looking book bag before stuffing it with some clothes and a few other things before zipping the bag and stood up in front of Naruto, who was about a foot shorter than himself as Harry was 5'5 while Naruto was between 4'7 and 4'8.
"Wait is that all your stuff?" Naruto asked with the look of shock on his face.
"Yeah" Harry said.
"Then I guess we're leaving now." Naruto spoke as he closed the cupboard door, before leaving the house, with Harry walking beside him.
"Is your home near by?" Harry asked.
"No, I don't really have a home." Naruto spoke.
"What?! Then where are we going exactly?" Harry questioned.
"For the past couple of months being in England I just slept in a tree, but I know that you can't sleep or live like that so I can just buy a home." Naruto spoke thoughtfully, feeling a pair of eyes from the house across Harry's old home, but ignored it as there was no hate in the stare, as far as he could feel it.
"So wait, you don't have any relatives?" Harry asked.
"No they all died when I was born. I live alone for mostly all my life." Naruto said sadly. Harry sadly looked down feeling bad for asking now.
"I'm sorry for asking."
"It's alright, I accepted their death a long time ago, so you don't need to worry about me." Naruto said reassuringly.
After they walked for a while Harry asked a question he just realized.
"Wait, you said before you could buy a house, don't you mean rent and do you even have enough money?"
"Nah, I mean buy, I been doing some things like chores for people and stuff getting some money in return and I had some money for a while."
"And you think you can 'buy' a house with that little amount of money?" Harry asked in shock.
"Yeah, I mean I've travelled around places and received a bunch of money for doing things." Naruto said happily.
"Exactly where did you travel to and from?" Harry spoke in shock.
Naruto thought before answering simply.
"Let's see, I'm from Japan and then I went to New York, in America, and then I went to Paris, France and now I'm in England."
Harry stared at Naruto in shock.
"But you're about 10 or 11 years old, are you rich or something? Because you sound like one who travels around the world." Harry questioned.
"Well..." Naruto thought for a while before finally answering. "I'll tell you when I think your ready."
Harry looked crestfallen at hearing the answer but nodded.
"So what kind of house do you want? It can be a mansion or something if you want, don't worry about how much it costs." Naruto spoke.
"It doesn't matter to me as long it's big enough for me and you." Harry spoke thoughtfully after thinking for a while.
"Is that so?" Naruto spoke before sighing. "You must be one of those modest people." Harry didn't know what to say so he stayed quiet. "It's good for financial stuff, but you should remember that it's alright to be selfish once in a while." Naruto smiled a little. "So give me something else, not something I know we should have." Naruto teased at the last part, causing Harry to blush in embarrassment.
"Um... Then I guess... I'm sorry I'm not sure myself." Harry apologized in embarrassment.
"Alright then how about this, when we get to a real estate agent we'll go look at some houses and when you and me decide which one is good then we got it, is that okay?" Naruto suggested, which Harry nodded, liking the idea.
"But wait they won't let us, we're to young fir them to sell a house to us." Harry said.
"Don't worry, I know the answer for that." Naruto said grinning.
"How?" Harry asked.
"That's one of the things that I have told you, that I will explain to you when I think you are ready."
Harry pouted once again but nodded, wishing that he would be ready soon, to hear all about the person, a child no less, taking him in.
