Protecting The Chosen One

Chapter Two

By: RockinKunoichi94

The next morning, both teams seven and eight arrived at the Hokage's office five minutes before seven. Sakura was in an animated discussion with the Hyuga hieress as they talked about how the school functioned. The males of the two teams just listened, Sai, Naruto, and Sasuke tensed when they heard what Sakura said next.

"Hinata, keep an eye out for this guy named Draco Malfoy, when he was a first year he was horrible. He kept thinking that because his father is well known that he gets away with everything. So I gave him detention when he rudely interrupted my teaching and said that he will never do his homeowrk that I give out. Next thing he does is that he whips out his wand and went to go cast a spell. I stopped him though, with my ninja speed I had taken away his wand. I told him that he will get it back at the end of my class."

"Oh, did he do anything else to you Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked, quietly without stuttering.

"Yeah, his father got a letter that Draco wrote so I had to do this parent/teacher conference with him. His father kept trying to put some moves on me. I told him that I wasn't interested in slimy old dirt bags that already have a wife."

"Ahem!"

The two girls stopped their talking and the boys averted their attention to the blonde Hokage. Tsunade smirked when she noticed the males on team seven relax from being so tense after hearing that Sakura was getting hit on.

"Ok, now that have your attention, I must say that this mission will take at least a full school year. Longer if necessary, but I doubt that will happen. Sakura and Hinata, you are to use as much as your kunoichi training you need to get as much information on this Voldemort guy. Sai, Sasuke, Shino, Naruto, and Kiba, you five will be having a more difficult time."

"Why is that baa-chan?" Naruto asked. He got a punch in the face from Tsunade.

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that. Anyways, you boys will have a harder time because you may earn a few fangirls along the way." Sasuke groaned in annoyance.

"What's this I hear! The Uchiha brat doesn't want to be noticed!" Sakura gasped dramatically. "Wow, I guess you learn new things everyday after all, huh Hinata."

"Y-yes."

"Ahem. Anyways, there will be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Since Harry Potter arrived in his first year the teachers for this job always seem to quit or have been killed in this spot."

"Yeah, in the first year there was this guy named Quirrell, he always wore this huge turban on his head that gave me a bad feeling. Towards the end of the year I realized that Voldemort was hiding underneath it, his face anyways. Poor Quirrell, he was reduced to ash, literally." Sakura said, shivering at the memory.

"Yes, if you have any questions ask either Professor Dumbledor or Sakura, they are the two most knowledgeable ones that know of this mission. Good luck oh and here are your tickets, don't forget to send a letter every once in a while." Tsunade called after them as they walked out the door.

"Ok, I want everyone to follow me. We can't get to London's train station by foot, we have to get their by the wizarding way." Sakura said as the others followed her into her home and into her work room. "I want everyone to put one of their hands out now. When I say three grab onto this hand mirror, you must grip tightly or you will be lost in a different place and I don't feel like coming to save your rear ends, got that?"

The others nodded.

"Good now I suggest you grip now." Everyone did as they were told. "Do not let go unless I say so. Three, two, one!"

Everyone felt a tug at their navel as they left Sakura's work room, they arrived in an alley near the train station. "Let go!"

After dusting themselves off, Sakura placed the hand mirror into her many bags and led the others to the train stations. Checking that they all had their tickets she told everyone to follow her lead and to not worry or ask questions until later. They nodded and watched as she took her luggage cart and ran into the pilalr between platforms nin and ten. Wide eyed everyone did as she did, they all reemerged onto the other side. They looked up and saw the sign that read Platforms 9 3/4.

They followed Sakura as she put her luggage onto the train above their compartment that was reserved especially for them. Sakura told them to stay put as she went to go and check on some things. Hinata followed her as they left the compartment and got off the train. Sakura finally found the people she was looking for and dragged Hinata over.

"Umm, excuse me, but are you Mrs. Weasly?" Sakura asked in English.

"Why yes, deary. And you are?"

"I'm Sakura Haruno and this is my friend Hinata Hyuga. We are the only two females in the group that are to protect Harry Potter."

"Oh I see. When you mean by only two females did you mean--"

"SAKURA-CHAN! HINATA-CHAN!!!" a loude blonde came running towards them.

"BAKA!" Naruto was punched and he flew into the air a few feet then came back down with a sickening crunch as he hit the ground, face first.

"Mrs. Weasly meet Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Sai. We don't really know his last name." Sakura introduced. "And everyone this is Mrs. Weasly, she and the rest of the order have been informed of our mission."

"Nice to meet all of you, well you best be getting on the train now it is about to leave shortly." Everyone nodded as Sakura told them to head onto the train and that she will catch up.

"Mrs. Weasly, if you want I can send you messages through my way of course to keep you and the others in the order up to date."

"I would like that Sakura, also, you seem very familiar have we met before?"

"Yes, during Harry's first yer at Hogwarts I was a teacher, an assitant teacher who helped the teachers that Harry had that hour."

"Oh, I see, well run a long the train is leaving."

"Bye Mrs. Weasly and thank you."

The train had left the stationa dn everyone who was looking out the window plus the parents and guardians watched in amazement as they saw a pink haired girl around the ag of fifteen running fast, jumping off the edge of the platform and landing on top of the train with grace that could rival a gazelle's. Sakura slipped into one of the open windows and into the compartment that so happened to be holding none other than Harry Potter and his friends. Sakura smiled and walked out of the compartment iand across theirs into hers.

"Did you really have to hit so hard Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as soon as she stepped into the compartment.

"Yes, I thought I told you guys to stay put."

"You did, but you didn't say we had to listen." Sasuke said.

"Funny chicken head. Now I want quiet, I'm gonna take a nap. Wake me when there is trouble or when we get there." and with that being said Sakura sat inbetween Kiba and shino and drifted off to dream land.

"I'm not gonna be the one that wakes her up." Sai, Sasuke, and Naruto said at the same time.

"Why?" Kiba asked.

"She is scary when she wakes up. The hag will either yell at you, hit you, or do both. And if you're lucky she will continue sleeping, althought that is like saying that Naruto won't eat ramen for dinner." Sai said. "Ow!"

Sakura had woken up when he called her hag and he ended up with a rather bruising bump on his head. Sakura went back to her seat and went back to her nap. Only to be woken up again five minutes later when she felt something happening in Harry's compartment. Reluctantly she got up and went out of her compartment and stepped into Harry's.

"Oh my." she breathed. The scene she saw was everyone that was in the compartment looking at her, some of them had this strange goo all over them. One boy, she recognized as Neville Longbottom, was holding a plant in his hand.

"Mimbulus mimbletonia?" she asked.

"Yes, how did you know?" Neville asked.

"I read something about it ages ago. Name's Sakura Haruno."

"Neville Longbottom." Neville said as he shook her hand.

"Ah yes, I've heard about you. You must be Harry Potter, Ginny Weasly, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasly. And you must be Luna Lovegood."

"How did you know?" Hermione asked.

"I met with Professor Dumbledor over the summer, I asked him if I could have the list of students names as well as their pictures so that they don't have to waste theri time introducing themselves to me. Plus, I know Ron's mother. She's a sweet lady." Sakura said, she immediately put her practiced British accent and it made her sound like she was raised in England.

"I see, where are you from?"

"Japan, this is mine and my friend's first year at Hogwarts although I've been here four years ago."

"Well, I don't remember seeing anyone with pink hair around. And look, she's hanging out with Potter and company." a voice said from behind Sakura.

"Oh look, this year's drama queen has decided to grace us with her presence. I am honored." Sakura said sarcastically. "I'll see you guys around later." she waved and walked out of the compartment and into her own.

After closing the door she quickly changed into her uniform which, unfortunately for her, consisted of a skirt. "Wake up minna, we're here."

The others woke up from their sleep and yawned. They were already dressed in their uniforms while Sakura was asleep. Once the train stopped, Sakura led the two teams off the train and into the cold night. She saw Harry and the others that were in the compartment with him go into one of the carriages.

"Sakura-chan, how do we get to the castle?" Naruto asked, yawning slightly.

"We will not ride the boats nor will we ride the carriages. We will poof our way in." Sakura said. And the others poofed away after her.

They met inside Professor Dumbledor's office, said man welcomed them saying that they will be sharing a dorm together since it was requested by Tsunade herself. Their school supplies and wands were on their beds that have been assigned to them. The old man led them in front of the great hall with the other waiting first years. He said that they will come in once he gives them the signal, he said that they were allowed to come in any way they pleased. This earned a few grins, smirks, and Naruto getting slapped upside the head, courtesy of Sakura.

They waited for ten minutes until they heard the signal.

"Now! With further ado, I present to you the guards that I have assigned to protect Hogwarts!" Dumbledor's voice rang out clearly. "Please, give a warm welcome to Naruto Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka, Sai, Sasuke Uchiha, Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga, and Sakura Haruno!"
