Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Naruto. So sad, but I'll live.

"What class is this?" Naruto asked Harry after lunch as they headed up to the north tower.

"Divination, one of my least favorite classes, that and potions." Harry said.

"I can see why you don't like it. That Snape guy is a jerk." Naruto said as he climbed up the ladder into the classroom. Naruto watched Harry go take his seat and he left to sit in the darkest corner of the large, overly perfumed room. As a ninja, all his senses are twice as effective, so he started to get dizzy from the fumes. Naruto watched the other students come in and saw Ron walk over to Harry.

"Good day," said professor Trelawney in her usual misty, dreamy voice, "and welcome back to Divination, you will find on your tables before you copies of the dream oracle, by Inigo Imago. You will be paired into partners and will tell each other your most recent dreams and decode them using the books. Carry on."

Before Naruto knew it, he was asleep. The class was boring to him; the classroom was stuffy, warm and dark, so naturally, he would doze off.

"Hey, isn't Naruto supposed to be in here too?" Ron asked Harry while he was flipping through the book. Harry nodded towards the corner.

"I never remember my dreams," Ron said, "You say one."

"You must remember one of them." Harry persisted. Everyone turned their attention to the corner where Naruto was when they heard a soft thump and a loud snore. They instantly began to laugh and talk, while Harry just hit himself in the forehead with his palm.

"Young man, I do not tolerate sleeping in my class!" the professor said, not realizing that it was the ninja. When she got a better look at who it was she looked as if she regretted everything. She had no idea he was even in there. Trelawney looked at Harry when he stood up and walked over to him.

"Wake up Naruto!" he hissed. Naruto was lying on the floor. Harry kicked him slightly and he woke with a jerk.

"Wahapn?" Naruto yawned. (He said what happened)

"You fell asleep. Come on." Harry hissed. Naruto stood up and Harry poked him in the forehead (right in the middle of his leaf headband). Naruto gave him a questioning look.

"That's for falling asleep." Harry said as he headed back to his seat. Naruto chuckled as he sat back down.

'Finally getting through to him. Not much, but its working' Naruto thought.

--------------

"Well, good afternoon!" professor Umbridge said when the whole class had sat down, with Naruto yet again sitting in the darkest corner, though it wasn't as dark in this room.

"You will need to copy what is on the board." She said. She flicked her wand at the black board and writing appeared. It read:

Course aims:

1. Understanding the principles underlying defensive magic

2. Learning and recognizing situations in which defensive magic can legally be used

3. Placing the use of defensive magic in a context for practical use

For a couple of minutes the room was full of the sound of scratching quills on parchment.

"When you are done copying you will read chapter one in their copy of defensive magical theory, 'Basics for Beginners'." The professor instructed, "Yes miss Granger?"

"There's nothing in here about using defensive spells." She said, putting her hand down.

"Using spells? Why, I can't imagine any situation arising in my classroom that would require you to use a defensive spell, Miss Granger. You surly aren't expecting to be attacked in class?"

"We're not going to use magic?" Ron asked.

"Like I said before, do you expect to be attacked during class? I am going to be teaching a risk-free way to learn defensive spells." she said in a falsely sweet voice.

"What use is that?" Harry said loudly, "if we get attacked it's not a risk-free way!"

"There is nothing out there Mr. Potter, who do you expect to attack you?"

"Hmm, let's think…" said Harry, in a mock thoughtful voice, "maybe lord Voldemort?"

"Ten points from Gryffindor, Mr. Potter. Now let me make this clear, you have been told that a certain dark wizard has returned from the dead—"

"He wasn't dead! But yeah, he returned!" Harry argued. Back in the corner was Naruto, hitting himself in the forehead.

'Not again. That boy has a temper.' Naruto thought.

"This is a lie." Umbridge said.

"It is NOT a lie!" yelled Harry, "I saw him, I fought him!"

"Detention, Mr. Potter! My office tomorrow evening, five o' clock." She said.

"So according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead on his own accord did he?" asked Harry, his voice shaking.

"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident," she said coldly.

"It was murder!" Harry screamed.

'Time for me to step in, before this gets worse.' Naruto thought. He jumped up and grabbed Harry in the same way he did the other night. It was so fast that no one even saw it happened. Umbridge was taken aback.

"What are you doing in here?" she asked the blond.

"I was hired to be this kid's personal guard, don't even think about it Potter." Naruto said coldly, somehow knowing Harry was going to try to get out again. Harry growled at him, and Naruto pulled his hair.

"Control him! Take him out for a moment, and bring him back when he'll behave." Umbridge said to Naruto, but glaring at Harry. Naruto nodded and dragged him out of the room.

"I told you any higher and we'll have trouble. Congratulations, I have gone up another notch, so watch it you little brat!" Naruto snarled when he let him go.

"Then why are you still here if you're so fed up with me?" Harry asked.

"'cuz it's my job! I was hired to protect you!" Naruto said.

"It's her fault. She doesn't know what happened that night." Harry sighed, leaning against the wall and sliding to the floor. Naruto sat across from him.

"What did happen that night?"

"Lupin didn't tell you?" Harry asked. Naruto shook his head. "Mr. Weasly? Mad-eye moody? Sirius?" Naruto shook his head to each one. Harry sighed.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He said. Harry looked up to see Naruto examining him carefully. Harry smiled slightly and told him everything. When they finished, class was over.

"You know, that kinda reminds me of something." Naruto said as they walked to Harry's next class.

"What?" Harry asked, actually interested in what he has to say.

"I can't remember." Naruto sad, scratching his head. Harry rolled his eyes.

-------------------------------

"Do you always have to grab and pull me?" Harry snapped when Naruto grabbed his arm the next night in the common room.

"Yes, only because you don't move when you need to." Naruto said, pulling him slightly.

"I know I have detention tonight." He said, getting out of his grasp.

"Well then let's go." Naruto said, staring at him.

"Why do you have to come? It's my detention, not yours."

"Because you gotta learn that I am your personal guard, so you're never going to get away from me." He hissed.

---------------------------

"Come in" said Umbridge when Harry knocked on the door. He walked in followed by the ninja.

"I am sorry Mr. Uzumaki, but you cannot be in here, this is Mr. Potter's detention." It took Naruto a minute to realize that she was talking to him, he wasn't used to being called Mr. Uzumaki.

"First of all, it's Naruto, not Mr. Uzumaki, that was my dad and even he wasn't called that. Secondly, I am here by orders to protect this boy, so I have to go every where he does." Naruto said.

"Very well then. Go take the seat in the corner." She sighed. He looked at her comfy armchair and looked in the corner. There was a very small, wooden stool that looked as if it would break as soon as he sat on it. He walked over and sat on it, it was low enough to the ground that his knees were almost up to his chin. He just got off it and sat on the floor instead. Harry sat down at a desk placed in her office and looked up at her.

"I want you to write lines. You must write, I must not tell lies. Oh no, you don't need to use your quill," she said when Harry bent over and grabbed his bag. He looked up at her yet again. "You will be using a rather special one of mine." She said. She went to her desk and dug around for something. Naruto was watching her intently.

She went back to Harry and handed him a long, thin black quill with an unusually sharp point. Naruto eyed it suspiciously.

"How many times?"

"Oh, as long as it takes for the message to sink in." said Umbridge sweetly. "Off you go."

She moved back to her desk, sat down and bent over a stack of what looked like a bunch of essays that needed corrections. Harry then realized what he was missing.

"You haven't given me any ink." He said.

"You won't need any ink." She said, looking up slightly from the papers. Harry shrugged and went to work. Naruto kept looking from the quill to Umbridge.

Harry placed the point of the quill to the paper and wrote: I must not tell lies.

He let out a gasp of pain. The words had appeared on the parchment in what appeared to be shining red ink. At the same time the words appeared on the back of his hand, cut into his skin as though traced there by a scalpel-yet even as he stared at the shining cut, it healed over again, leaving the place where it had been slightly redder than before, but not quite smooth.

Harry looked around at Umbridge, who was watching him, her wide, toad like mouth stretched into a smile.

"Yes?"

"Nothing," Harry said quietly.

"I don't think it's nothing. You can't do this to him! What if Dumbledore-samma finds out?" Naruto said, still sitting on the floor, glaring at Umbridge.

"I beg to differ; I am allowed to give him punishments. And these are just lines." She said calmly. Naruto looked at Harry, who was staring at him with a face that seemed to say don't go any farther with her. Naruto slumped back against the wall and Harry continued.

--------------------------------

"How's your hand?" Naruto asked when they were walking back to the common room. Harry was holding it in his other hand, looking at the marks. He shrugged. The shinobi leaned foreword to the wizard's ear.

"You know, Sakura could easily fix that up." Naruto said. Harry looked up and saw Naruto wink at the suggestion. Harry thought for a moment.

"Sure, it's worth a shot." Harry said. Naruto nodded and stood up straight. He put his hands together and pushed them into the ground.

As he did that he said, "Sakura Haruno, come here!" there was a puff of smoke with a few leaves mixed in it in the spot Naruto pushed into the floor.

'Where do the leaves come from?!' Harry thought, remembering that each time they appear or disappear there's always leaves.

Once the smoke cleared he saw Sakura standing there in her usual red shirt and black skirt.

"What is it Naruto?" she asked him.

"Can you help heal Harry's cuts?" he asked. She turned around and examined his hand.

"How did you get those? And why do they say I must not tell lies?" she asked.

"It was that toad Umbridge. Some quill she gave me did this during my detention.

"Ok, I'll see what I can do." she said. She concentrated for a moment and her hand began to glow slightly. She placed her chakra enhanced hand on his and when she took it off, it was almost completely healed.

"Wow," Harry said, looking from his hand to Sakura. "Thanks Sakura."

She smiled at him and disappeared again.

"c'mon, we should get going." Naruto said as he continued to move. When they were at the portrait hole, Naruto saw something sitting next to it. Two something's in fact and one was rather big.

"Wake up baka." Naruto said, slapping Kiba on the back of his head, "it's my night, go in and get some sleep."

"You're not tired?" Kiba asked when he saw who it was.

"Nah, I took a nap in Divination." He said, looking at Harry. Kiba had no idea what he was talking about, so he just went in with Harry while Naruto stayed outside. He went on his new rout of the corridors.

------------------------

"'night Hinata. See you in the morning." Sakura said when she walked out the portrait hole. Hinata waved goodbye as she sat on the couch.

Sakura looked around and started her route. She listened to the steady beat of her footsteps when she suddenly heard something else. It was in the room she was outside of. She opened the door and stepped in.

"Whoever's in here, you have to leave. It's after ten o'clock so get back to your house." Sakura called. She couldn't see anyone, but she heard wailing and moaning. She then just realized that she was in the girls' bathroom.

"Are you ok?" sakura asked.

"What would you care? No one ever cares about me!" called a hoarse voice from the ceiling. Sakura looked up to see a young ghost girl in a Hufflepuff robe. Her short black hair was tied into two ponytails and her glasses were slightly askew.

"Who are you?" sakura asked as politely as she could.

"Makes sense you don't know me. No one ever talks about poor, moping moaning Myrtle!" moaning Myrtle whined loudly. She screamed as she flew into a cubicle and into a toilet.

"That was weird." She said when she left the room. She continued all the way to the grand staircase. She looked at each landing of the stairs and saw a familiar figure.

"Hey Shikamaru!" she called. He looked up to see her smiling face and her arm waving at him. He waved back and walked back towards his house. That was their routs, walking around their floor, up to the grand staircases and back, it seemed more like pacing then guarding. She turned around and went back.

------------------------------

"You sure you don't want to rest for a bit?" Sasuke asked when Gaara got up from their game of wizards chess (some second year student taught them to play.)

"How would I do that? I can't sleep." Gaara said as he picked up his gourd and strapped it on. Sasuke shrugged and put away the game when Gaara left the room.

'The only fun things to do here are Wizards chess and scare the students. I'm starting to wish I didn't leave, I don't think I can trust Kankuro as the substitute Kazekage, although, I did tell Temari to go down there while I'm gone. At least she's not with Shikamaru.' He thought as he walked down the hall. Gaara never really liked the idea of his older sister going out with Shikamaru. Gaara was always deep in thought when he walked at night. Even when he was little he spent his nights walking through his village or sitting on the roof of his home, thinking of many different things.

Before he knew it he was at the stairs leading from the dungeons. He climbed up it like he did the night before and up to the grand staircase. He took a quick look around and went back.

----------------------------

"How troublesome" Shikamaru said to himself while he walked down the corridor. He yawned, took a quick look around and continued.

'I wonder what Temari's doing right now.' He thought. He was listening to the rhythm of his steps and the wind knocking on the windows. He looked out one as he passed.

'What a drag, you can't see the clouds anymore.' He thought with a long sigh. He began humming some random song that he heard Temari sing when she thought she was alone.

My mother used to sing it to me when I was little. She told him when she saw him listening in.

"Hey Shikamaru!" someone called above him. He realized that he was already at the stairs when he looked up. There was Sakura, smiling and waving at him. He smiled at her and waved back. He sighed silently and walked his route back.

------------------------------

A slight humming sound was traveling down the hall while Naruto was walking in his usual way, hands behind his head and squinting at everything. He had no idea what he was humming, but he was in a good mood that he just felt like it. Suddenly he stopped.

'I wonder…' he thought with a grin. He made a cross with his fingers and said, "Shadow clone jutsu!" and in a puff of smoke, two more Naruto's appeared. He turned to them.

"Ok, you go explore a floor up, and you go explore the floor down. When you're done, tell me anything interesting you found." He said. The clones nodded and ran off.

"What are you doing?" asked a voice behind him. Naruto spun around to see Gaara standing there. Naruto jumped back in surprise.

"Whoa! Gaara, why are you here?" he asked.

"I'm not really, I'm his sand clone, the real one is still in the dungeons." The clone said.

"Well, I made the clones to go explore, so I can explore all the cool things some other time. Why does Gaara have a clone?"

"Pretty much the same as you. Though you might want to put some thought into when you'll be able to explore more." The clone said. Naruto nodded and the clone disappeared. Naruto went on walking. Then Naruto began to think about what the clone said about time and smacked himself in the head. He just realized that when he's not watching the corridors, he's watching the common room, and when he's not watching that, he's watching Harry.

"crap." He mumbled as he canceled the jutsu.
