I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR HARRY POTTER! *SCREAMING IN FURY, THROWS COMPUTER AGAINST THE WALL*

MISSION THREE: END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR

Hermione entered the Girl's Dormitory, glancing over at Shira. Ever since the Yule Ball, she had been extremely quiet. Now it was time to go home, and Shira just sat there, staring down at the book Hermione had seen her with in the Library. They had become close enough to be called friends, so Hermione walked over and plopped down beside her on the bed, looking at the pages. It was open to the first page, and as she looked at the picture she realized this was a scrapbook. The first picture was of a bored-looking 5-year-old boy, presumably her brother, playing chess with a 4-year-old Shira. Others showed them at a party, with a blonde girl and a redheaded boy eating chips. "That was taken on my 5th birthday. The other two are Shikamaru's friends, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi." She turned the page, and Hermione saw a blonde boy in an orange jumpsuit slurping ramen at amazing speeds while a pink-haired girl and a black-haired boy stared at him. "I got my first digital camera at age 11, and insisted on taking as many pictures as possible with it. That's of Naruto Uzemaki-san, Sakura Haruno-san and Sasuke Uchiha-san, age 12." Hermione glanced up. "Uchiha? Is he related to Professor Uchiha?"

"Yep. They're brothers. But Sasuke-san hates Itachi-sama. Don't ask me why. He never told me." She turned the page again. This one showed a picture of a black-haired woman with red eyes, a boy with sunglasses, a boy with spiky brown hair and facial tattos, and a shy-looking purple-haired girl. "That's Kurenai Yuhi-sensei. She and Asuma Sarutobi-sensei, my brother's teacher, had some kind of relationship. The other three are her students; Shino Aburame-san, Kiba Inuzuka-san, and Hinata Hyuuga-san." They looked at another photo of another group: An annoyed-looking boy with waist-lengthbrown hair, a girl with brunette hair laughing and rolling her eyes, and a man and boy with matching bowl-cuts and green jumpsuits with the thumbs-up sign, grinning. "That's Neji Hyuuga-san, Hinata-san's cousin. The girl is Tenten-san. The overly-happy guys are Might Guy-sensei and Rock Lee-san." She flipped the page, and Hermione saw Might Guy piggybacking a silver-haired, masked man. "That's Kakashi Hatake-sensei. He and Might Guy-sensei have a sort of rivalry that only Guy-sensei seems to know about." Hermione laughed, and Shira smiled. "There's a funny story there. Lee-san thought it was a training exercise, so he indicated that Neji-san should climb on his back, and Neji-san replied with 'Hell no!' Tenten just laughed. I think she's probably still trying to keep her sanity."

They looked at another photo, this one of Ino, Shikamaru, Shira, Choji and a smoking man. Shira laughed. "I remember that day. I had just graduated from the Academy, and Asuma-sensei insisted on a barbecue to celebrate." Another photo showed all the previous people from the other photos in various photos: Kakashi was reading a book, as usual while Might Guy challenged the oblivious man. Kurenai was watching in amusement. Kiba and Hinata were playing with Akamaru. Shino stood around, expressionless as always. Sakura was ignoring Naruto, while Rock Lee and Naruto fought for her 'affections'. Tenten was throwing kunai knives at a tree. Neji was chasing a laughing 10-year-old girl, who had just tugged his hair. That one was entitled 'Don't mess with Neji-san's hair'. Asuma and Shikamaru were playing Shogi. Shikamaru won, and a blonde, rather well-endowed in the chest area woman pouted as she handed Shira money. A woman was scolding her while holding a pig. Sakura was laughing. "That's Tsunada-sama. She's in charge of our city, but she usually drinks beer and gambles, always losing. She's called the 'Legendary Sucker'. Her assistant, Shizune-san, has to hide the money and sake before she can get Tsunade-sama to do any work."

They turned the page, and there were only a few photos photos left: Ino and some girl fighting over Shikamaru; Shira running through the streets, screaming as Hinata, Tenten, Sakura and Ino gave chase, each girl holding a dress in their hands. She saw Kiba and Naruto reduced to tears of mirth, rolling around on the ground. Choji was eating chips, while Shikamaru and Asuma watched in mild interest. "Did they get the dresses on you?"

"They did. But when I caught Naruto-san and Kiba-san taking photos, well, see for yourself." Hermione burst out laughing as she saw Kiba and Naruto lying on the ground with black eyes, as Shira stalked away, grabbing her bag.

They looked at the last photo in the book: Shikamaru was playing hide-and-seek with Shira. "That's when the bandits attacked." Shira took a deep breath. "Hidan no danna kissed me." Hermione turned to look at her. "What!? When!? Spare no details!"

"We were fighting because I had gone to the dance with Weasley Twin-san. Then he kissed me to shut me up. It was...nice. But I felt like I was betraying my brother by kissing him. They hate each other. They both want each other dead." Hermione winced. "Ouch."

"Yeah." Shira glanced at the clock, and shrieked. "THE TRAIN!" She grabbed her bag, stuffing the photo album in it, and grabbed Hermione's hand, jumping out the window. Hermione screamed as the ground rushed up at them. They landed on a tree branch, and Hermione's things floated after them as they shakily made their way to the train. Hermione hugged Shira. "Next time, warn me. Bye, Shira."

"Bye, Hermione-chan. See you next year!" Hermione got onto the train with Shira. "Wanna sit with us?" Shira shook her head. "Can't. You understand." The two girls hugged again, and went their seperate ways after Hermione gave Shira her address, and Shira gave hers to Hermione.

Shira entered the compartment, and smiled at the others, then turned to Hidan. "Hidan no danna, I'm sorry I yelled at you at the Yule Ball. It's just I-"

"Kid. Shut the fuck up, and sit down." Her eyes lit up, and she sat down next to Hidan, and curled up beside him, promptly falling asleep. Deidara and Sasori smirked as Hidan brushed her hair out of her face, and she snuggled closer to him. Konan smiled. "Ah, young love." Hidan glared at her. "Shut the fuck up. You two assholes stop laughing, or I'll cut your nonexistent balls off." Konan winced as Sasori and Deidara whimpered. "That's harsh."

"They'll fucking live."

"Next year is gonna be so much fun, don't you think?" Hidan's head snapped up. "N-Next year?"

"Yep. Pein's making you four stay an extra year." Sasori and Deidara whimpered. Itachi showed emotion, and Hidan began twitching. "You planned this!" Konan inspected her nails. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
