Heh heh heh… Sorry this took so long but I have the attention span of a spider and whenever it came to actually writing it I got ever so slightly distracted… ^_^

"People speaking in Japanese" Just to avoid any confusion… Mostly on my part….

To Jajaja, Yus Sacre mère de pomme de Terre does mean Holy Mother of Spuds/Potatoes – I had to watch French films every week for homework, and my friend and I chose this animated movie called 'The prophecy of the Frogs'. The people on it say things like 'Holy mother of spuds', and 'Holy pots and Pans.'

Sorry that was a very long Authors note thing.


Hogwarts castle was peacefully quite… The wind was whistling, leaves were rustling, Centaurs and spiders were snoring softly in their home in the forest. Everyone was sleeping, including the family of rats that live in the wall (which no-one knows about). Well, almost everyone… A group of mysterious, masked people were perched upside down on the great hall ceiling seemingly discussing something of great importance in their home language of Japanese.

"What a tiring day" One of two Blonde people had just muttered obviously not as hyper when he felt he should be sleeping. "I had to go and prevent a fight between Harry and Seamus. We need to watch the other kids around here."

"Right" The other said whilst playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with a pink haired girl, "Who listened to the speech the fly eating, toad woman gave? I think it was odd how it seemed to have a hidden meaning…. I WIN!" The others seemed slightly shocked the blonde had said something…. Smart…

The one with the Cockatoo hairstyle snorted, "You just overheard Neji talking to Tenten about it."

"So?"

"Sh-she must w-w-work for the ministry" The purple haired girl stuttered much less after becoming friends with the loud blondes. But she had all but given up the hope of Naruto seeing her as anything more than a friend now.

"Heh heh, Thanks Nata… Thaaat's what he meant. You're all dismissed, I'll take watch until around fourish, then I want Sasuke and Sakura to take over. Tomorrow we'll meet here at the same time then I want Neji and Tenten on watch followed by Naruto and Hinata. And we'll just carry on taking it in turns like that, switching who takes the first shift. Make sure if you're on guard that you remember to leave a clone in your dorm as not to arouse suspicion." The leader grinned happily now. "I don't care how you choose to do it but make sure you're not seen. Sayonara"

With that the seven disappeared leaving only blackness where they had sat. Once again all was silent, although the disturbance had awoken Pappa rat. Wearily opening his eye he glanced around the corridor near his hole, seeing nothing he shook his cute little ratty head and settled back down to sleep.


The next morning

Harry was awoken by a loud bang coming from the bed next to him. He looked over to see Naruto had rolled out of bed. The Blond yawned and opened his eyes.

"Hey my natural 'alarm' works again" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"What time is it?" He slurred through his sleepiness.

"Five past seven." Naruto replied while getting his school robes on. Now unable to get back to sleep, Harry through his pillow at Ron.

"Oi!" The boy with fiery red hair muttered, "Get lost you Git"

"It's time to get up Ron"

"M'kay"


In the great hall at 7:30

As each of the new students walked into the hall - for the second time that day - they gave a cursory glance around, looking for anything unusual or dangerous. Unfortunately being new to the magic world they were unsure of what was normal or safe here. The realisation hit them in the same moment – Here, paranoia was their best advantage.

Keeping this in mind they decided they had to relax slightly so not to arouse suspicion.

After 15 minutes of 3 house tables watching in awe as Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other across the tables, whilst trying to get ahead of each other in their immense eating competition, the heads of houses walked around passing the timetables out. 'Look at today!' groaned Ron. 'History of Magic, double Potions, Divination and double Defence Against the Dark Arts ... Binns, Snape, Trelawney and that Umbridge woman all in one day! I wish Fred and George'd hurry up and get those Skiving Snackboxes sorted ...' Naruto nodded enthusiastically with agreement as Hermione glared at them.

On the other tables 5 ninja were wishing that they had not agreed to this. Sure it paid well and they got free food… But more school for a WHOLE year, was it worth it? Tenten looked at her timetable in despair, "History of magic, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Double Potions and THEN Divination. Seriously Neji, you're gonna have to help me. A lot." Neji grunted in annoyance, "Wonderful."

Sasuke and Sakura on the other hand had no problem; both being smart and disciplined meant they didn't mind the thought of boring lessons. As ninja they were taught to be able to listen to everything happening whilst doing other things, like persuading a certain dark haired ninja to play either; Noughts' and Crosses, Go or Slaps (all of which are in fact games to increase Ninja skill, or that's the excuse used by two 'special' blonde ninja. Sakura had recently decided that if they could do that then she may as well). Sakura took one last cursory glance at her timetable, making sure she memorised it: Double Defence Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical creatures, Divination, Potions and History of Magic.

The final ninja, who was still currently sat at the Hufflepuff table, having made many friend's had spent all of breakfast laughing without even looking at the timetable handed to her by the Head of House. The bell signalling first lesson chimed and Rikki glanced down at the sheet still folded on the table. Picking it up, she glanced at the lessons briefly wondering if she had any with her friend's. Care of Magical creatures, Transfiguration, Divination, History of Magic and double Defence Against the Dark Arts. Interesting, sometime during those lessons she had to find a suitable training area. She grinned to herself and joined her year as they went to their assigned lessons.


First Lesson

Now if someone was to look in Mr. Binns room first lesson they would be surprised at the amount of people blatantly not listening to the ghost teacher. At the front there were a few good students intently listening (well… Attempting to) but as you looked further and further to the back of the classroom you could see the students getting steadily more distracted. There sat on the very last row was our favourite trio and the Ninja guards. Neji, Hinata and Hermione were listening as closely as they could whilst trying to ignore the cheers of their friends as they won in Wizards chess, Ron and Naruto Vs Tenten and Harry.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Sasuke were trying to keep their attention on the textbook in front of them, instead of the annoying teacher sat glaring at them from the front of the repulsive classroom. 'Two hours of this' Sakura thought hopelessly 'I'm gonna die.' Slowly even Sasuke got bored of copying out words he didn't care about. He slowly glanced at Sakura. They through mutual agreement decided that the only way to get through the lesson without anytoad getting seriously injured they needed to focus they're anger on something else. Whilst the Evil Toad woman was distracted they began passing notes describing how the woman was going to die, each note getting more creative.

Finally we have the lone blonde ninja. She – possibly for the first time in her life – was being good in lesson. Hagrid was tremendously pleased with her and the crazy ninja was in her element tending to the animals.


AAAHHH THERE WE GOES! C'EST FINIS
