Somewhere...

"Zetsu-san told me that they are coming to get me next and Sasori-dono is with them, I cant wait to show my art to those "wizards" or something... yeah" - said a blonde watching the sky from a mansion balcony


They were in a dark room. A man in black sitting on a chair and a man with a strange mask, who was standing on his knees before the man in black. Masked man was scared and because of this his voice was weak.

"My Lord, Harry Potter left England and his current whereabouts are unknown. Our spy said, that he left to find some strong guards to protect him and Hogwarts" - said the Death Eater.

"So, what's the problem? The order remains the same, find Potter and kill him" - black man hissed in response.

"But, my Lord, this guards can become a threat in the future and ..." - he wasn't able to finish his sentence, as he dropped dead, killed by a spell instantly.

"I don't need weaklings by my side. Those "guards" won't change anything. Wormtail clean this place up!" - Voldemort shouted.


Harry woken up. He saw dreams about Voldemort again and dreams were disgusting as always. He has opened his eyes and looked around. Sasori was sitting in a corner watching him - "Good morning, sleepyhead. We landed more than an hour ago, I was tired of waiting for you to wake up".

Only now Harry noticed that helicopter door is open and his friends are nowhere to be seen.

"Where are Ron and Hermione?" - Harry asked, glaring at the "Akatsuki" member.

"U mean "bush-woman" and "ugly"? I don't know, last time I seen them they went outside, as long as I know they might be eaten by a bear or something" - the redhead answered, with a smirk on his face.

Harry got up and ran outside to look for his friends, just to find them standing outside arguing about something. They were in some kind of forest, the only things around were trees. Hermione saw Harry and waved to him, Harry smiled in response. After that Sasori came out of the chopper and told to follow him. They didn't have any choice other than obey him. Already 10 minutes they were walking in a complete silence.

"So what were you arguing about?" - Harry asked, he tried to be quiet, he didn't want their guard to hear them.

"Well we were talking about our current situation and our guard in particular. I think we should trust the guy, because Dumbledore trust them, but Ron on the other hand thinks that they are really suspicious and we shouldn't tell them anything" - Hermione explained.

"Of course I think they're suspicious, I mean he doesn't look like a wizard and he is to young to be powerful enough to fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Furthermore we even don't know where are we going with him" - Ron said, so quiet that even Harry was having problems hearing him.

"I think we should wait and see what happens, but we should be ready to use our wands anytime" - Harry sighed. He was afraid, but at the same was intrigued by those mercenaries.

Sasori, who has heard their conversation, only smiled, he was right, this is going to be really fun.

They walked for another 10 minutes. "Can you tell us, where are we exactly going?" - Ron asked, annoyed by the silence.

"There" - was Sasori short response, as he pointed his finger at the big mansion ahead of them.

The mansion was beautiful, it was huge, with a big garden. There were a lot of sculptures in the garden and even a pond. Sasori only frowned when he saw the sculptures. The kids were amazed by the beauty of this place in the middle of the forest. Harry noticed, that when they got close to the mansion, Sasori started acting really strange, almost as if he was nervous.

"What's up with you? You looked almost, as if you had seen a ghost or something" - Harry asked the redheaded teen.

"Nope I didn't see a ghost, but soon I will see things more terrifying than that" - he gulped.

"So, a comrade of yours live here?" - Hermione asked politely.

He just nodded, but as soon as they got to the door, he was shivering.

"Mate, are you alright? Do you need our help? You look sick" - Ron asked.

When Sasori heard it, he thought about something for a second, and then an evil grin appeared on his face. Harry knew from his life experience, that a grin like that, was a bad sign, but he didn't have a chance to tell this to Ron.

"Can u really help me? Then I need you to do something for me, it's not only for me but for Hogerts as well" - the redhead said, sounding really serious now.

"Hogerts? Oh, you mean Hogwarts? Well I suppose I can help you, if it's so important" - Ron answered carefully.

"Yes, Hogwarts, whatever. Then the only thing u need to do is to stand near me when I will ring the bell, nothing more. Can you do it? It's really important" - Sasori almost begged Ron.

Ron nodded slowly, he still didn't trust him. Sasori now looked like always, cocky and smug and with Ron standing beside him, he rang the bell. As soon as he did so, some really disturbing things happened. First of all, they all heard someone screaming and as time passed it got closer and closer, then the door flew open suddenly.

"SAAAAAAAAAAASOOOOOOORI-DOOOOOOOOONO, I KNEW YOU WILL COME FOR ME, I WAS WAITING FOR YOU FOR SO LONG!!" - some blonde women shouted and tried to hug Sasori.

Sasori on the other hand used Ron as a human shield, so in the end the blonde was hugging Ron, who apparently couldn't breathe. The redhead mumbled something about, how Hogwarts will always remember Ron as a hero who died on a mission to protect the school and slipped inside the house. Hermione and Harry were just standing there with a shocked expressions on their faces, while the woman continued to strangle Ron to death. The woman, when she actually watched, who she was hugging, stopped and just stared at Ron.

"You are not Sasori-dono, the hair is somewhat similar, but you are definitely not him" - only then the blonde noticed Hermione and Harry presence - "and who are you? I don't buy cookies from scouts, get lost" - he said glaring at them.

Harry didn't know what to say to this person. First of all, he wasn't a girl, he was just a really feminine man, secondly, why would he think that they were selling cookies in the middle of the forest.

"Sasori just went inside, we are with him" - Harry said the only thing he could say in a situation like that.

The blonde just stood there thinking for a few seconds, then smiled and went inside after his comrade, not even noticing that he is dragging the unconscious Ron behind him. Harry and Hermione sweatdropped and followed the eccentric blonde inside. The mansion was filled with different sculptures, they were made from some white substance, "Probably clay" - Hermione thought. They found Sasori standing in front of a statue of himself, frowning.

"Deidara, you are still making things like this" - said Sasori, glaring at the blonde, who was now dangerously close to him.

"Of course, I do. This is my art after all" - the blonde answered happily, - "but why didn't you let me hug you? I missed you so much and you as cold as always to me, sensei".

"That wasn't a hug, that was strangulation to death" - the redhead said, pointing at the unconscious Ron, - "he died like a hero" - he added, with sarcasm in his voice.

Deidara only now noticed that he was dragging the unconscious Ron around, he shrieked and left him lying on the ground. Harry was surprised by the mercenaries Dumbledore hired, because of their age and how they acted. They didn't look like dangerous assasins, they looked like drunk teenagers. One of them was building puppets, other one was creating statues, what's next? Sewing? Oh, if Harry only knew how close he was.


Las-Vegas.

A man was sitting on a bed with two naked girls lying behind him.

He was drinking whiskey, when he suddenly said, - "What do you want, "Plant-boy" - his voice was rude.

"You are next, be ready" - Zetsu said, appearing from the floor.

"Why should I even go? I have money, drugs, alcohol, girls, I have everything. Give me a reason to leave everything behind and go to protect some school and a nosy brat" - he said.

"We both know that a person like you, won't lose an opportunity like this, don't we? A greedy person like you wants everything, not just girls and alcohol. And to have everything you will need information on this "wizards" - Zetsu answered, disappearing back to the floor.

"Hmm, "a greedy person like me", you say? Maybe you are right, just maybe..." - he said, joining the girls in the bed. .
