Thank you to my anonymous reader for that last review! I hope you enjoy this next chapter update :D
In this chapter, be expecting Naruto's interaction with the Weasley Family and Hermione, as well as a weird dream that Naruto has.
As ever, I am saddened to reveal that I don't own 'Naruto' - which sucks because I would LOVE to be Naruto's best friend and be the one to catch Sasuke's eye. I don't own 'Sailor Moon' or 'Cardcaptor Sakura' and I also don't own Harry Potter - but I hope I get inspired to write a book as brilliant as Harry Potter and gain billions like Ms. Rowling.
Constructive criticism is appreciated and flames will be disregarded. Sorry xx
NARUTO'S FANGIRLS
Naruto shuffled down the dark, dusty corridor lined with old portraits that he had to look twice at. He could've sworn that the pictures moved on their own. Shaking his head, believing that he was sleep depraved, he found himself standing at the base of a long staircase that led up to the upper levels of the house.
To his right he could see the entrance to the Kitchen where he could see Mr Weasley and Mrs Weasley talking in hushed tones with Mrs. Weasley looking slightly neurotic and Mr Weasley looking tired but willing to listen to his wife's concerns. Because of the Kyuubi's sharpened hearing that Naruto had inherited since birth, he could hear his name being mentioned a few times and he sighed knowing that until Dumbledore or somebody else explained why he was unexpectedly here, everyone in this small run down flat was going to be wary of him.
He just hoped that when these nice people eventually learnt the truth about him, that they wouldn't shun him like the Villagers in Konoha did, and accepted him as an equal.
"Hey?" a soft voice spoke from behind him.
Naruto turned to see Ginny standing there smiling softly at him. He grinned back sensing that this girl was no threat towards him and felt a little unused to seeing half-decent looking girls smiling at him, usually because girls like Ginny used to focus their intentions towards a very unwilling and irritable Sasuke, whom Naruto always assumed was asexual due to his lack of interest towards practically anybody. So consequently girls shunted Naruto to the side in an effort to get to the cold (but admittedly) sexy Uchiha. But that was before Sasuke defected to Orochimaru, now Naruto wasn't quite sure what their reactions to Sasuke would be if he suddenly reappeared back in Konoha.
Naruto smiled tiredly at the pretty redhead.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked casually, walking up the staircase towards her. Ginny blushed slightly before moving to walk alongside him.
"Mum asked me to wait for you so I could show you to the room you'll be sharing with Ron and Harry." Naruto smirked when he noticed Ginny's blush becoming more pronounced when Harry was mentioned.
Ahh, she likes him… Naruto thought as he nodded sagely understanding exactly how Ginny felt.
I know exactly how you feel, sweetie…
Naruto rubbed one of his eyes with the back of his hand and yawned hard enough to possibly suck in an unfortunate fly.
"Oh cool. Lead the way!" he said politely gesturing for her to lead the way.
Both started to chat about themselves, with Naruto only revealing basic information about himself such as how old he was, who his friends were and had just started talking about what his all time favourite food was when Ginny hesitated just before they made it to the room he was bunking in.
Naruto stared at Ginny curiously.
"Is something wrong?" he asked, placing his hand on her thin shoulder. Ginny jerked out of her thoughts and stared at Naruto inquiringly.
"Huh? Oh no, nothing's wrong. I'm just trying to figure out how to word this without sounding rude." she replied nervously.
"Word what?" asked Naruto feeling amused at how flustered Ginny was getting.
Must be one doozy of a question that she wanted to ask. But before she could ask the question, the same loud popping noise Naruto had heard back in the kitchen caused both Naruto and Ginny to jump in surprise (Naruto) and annoyance (Ginny).
"God! Will you two stop doing that?" snapped Ginny smacking Fred on the arm and causing him to curse.
"Hey, quit hitting me!" Fred complained as his twin sniggered beside him, causing Ginny to turn on him and slap him too. George scowled at his baby sister.
"Well stop acting like a couple of morons." she retorted. Naruto watched the siblings squabbling with complete bemusement until Ron randomly opened a nearby bedroom door and stuck his head out, looking annoyed.
"Would you guys shut up already or Mum's gonna tell us off!" he growled.
Immediately the three went quiet. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Will you relax already? I was just showing Naruto to your room when Fred and George came out of nowhere and scared us."
Ginny gently took Naruto's arm in her hand and tugged him along to the door, with Fred and George following them. Smirks appeared on their faces that instantly made Naruto feel both apprehensive and suspicious. He couldn't help it, he was a ninja after all and clearly these two were up to something or knew something that involved Ginny and her sudden, unexpected defensiveness. Ron nodded oblivious to what had just happened before retreating back into the room and opening the bedroom door wider.
Inside the tiny room were three small cots which had been crammed inside. There was barely any leg room for two boys to walk around in, let alone three as Harry would be sleeping in this room too once he finally arrived. Sitting on one of the cots was Hermione who had her nose buried in an old and heavy looking book. That immediately reminded Naruto of Sakura when she was completely focused on studying back at the Academy when they were training to become shinobi. He just hoped that Hermione didn't have a similar temperament as Sakura.
Hermione looked up the moment Naruto came into the room and instantly gave the blonde a warm smile, much to Ron's chagrin.
"Hey Naruto." she said, marking her place in the book and setting it aside, freaking everyone out as she had never done this before. Ron sighed tiredly at this and pointed towards a bunk that Hermione wasn't sitting on that Naruto figured was his because all his stuff was lying on the dusty, quilted doona.
"That's where you're sleeping." Ron muttered before heading over to his cot and sitting down on it after shoving aside the junk already lying there.
Naruto smiled appreciatively.
"Thanks." He said as he collapsed onto the bed from exhaustion and glanced up to see all five of them looking at him curiously, making him feel slightly uncomfortable. It was then that he realised that Ginny hadn't asked her question yet.
He sighed but sat up anyway.
"So what did you want to know?" he asked Ginny stretching out his tired limbs and giving satisfied grunts when he heard his joints popping and locking back into place all courtesy of several gruelling missions he had done back in Konoha before this current one. His shirt rode up slightly showing some of his skin and an impressive six-pack. The boys watched with amusement and disgust as Ginny sat beside Hermione before answering. Both girls had their eyes glued to Naruto's chest and had blushed a nice shade of pink as they watched Naruto stretching.
They could see that he was definitely nicely muscled, with a natural tan. Not to mention the lovely sunshine yellow hair that spiked up in different directions giving him the 'just woken up' look and cerulean blue eyes that lit up when Naruto was genuinely happy. Both Hermione and Ginny definitely liked what they saw, and as usual, Naruto was completely oblivious.
Ginny cleared her throat trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Uh, I was just wondering which country you came from?" she asked curiously, Hermione also looking intently at him with interest. Naruto gave his trademark grin.
"Oh, I'm from Fire Country." he replied not thinking though his answer beforehand. Understandably, all five of his captive audience pulled confused expressions.
"I've never heard of any Fire Country." said Hermione frowning slightly.
Fred nodded.
"Yeah, that's sounds like a really odd name for a country. Would've thought you might've come from either China or Japan." he observed. Naruto's eyes widened when he realised his mistake. Dumbledore had warned him not to reveal what he really was until the next night when he would explain his unexpected presence.
"If anyone questions you about where you have come from, tell them that you've come from Japan. That's all they need to know until more is revealed later." Dumbledore had requested him to say, Naruto just didn't realise that he'd have to explain so quickly.
Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, trying not to wilt underneath the scrutinising stares.
"Yeah, that's right, I came from Japan - just a very small part of it." he lied quickly. They nodded, seeming to believe him.
"I've been there before on holiday with my parents once." Hermione commented casually. "It's extremely fascinating. A little strange maybe and beautiful, but definitely fascinating." she added.
"What do you mean 'strange'?" Naruto asked. Hermione smiled with embarrassment.
"Most of their TV shows like 'Sailor Moon' or 'Cardcaptor Sakura' are a little unusual, as well as some of their Manga comics." Hermione then narrowed her eyes at Naruto studying him curiously,
"In fact, I think I vaguely recognise you from somewhere…"
Naruto raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to finish that sentence before Hermione shook her head.
"But that would be impossible. Don't worry about me, I really must be tired." she apologised flushing a bit.
Naruto nodded looking confused about what she was going to say. He knew for a fact that where he had come from had nothing to do whatsoever with Japan, and the fact that he and the other shinobi and civilians spoke Japanese was just a coincidence.
"Yeah, impossible." he agreed vaguely, ignoring when Kyuubi suddenly sniggered unsympathetically in his head. But before they could question him again, Mrs Weasley suddenly burst in looking disapproving.
"What is going on in here? Are you interrogating poor Naruto?" she asked looking around at all the now guilty looking faces of Harry's friends whom Naruto now realised he was going to protect as well as his intended innocent. Naruto smiled kindly at Mrs Weasley who smiled at him apologetically.
"It's fine, I really don't mind, Weasley-san." Naruto reassured her but Mrs Weasley shook her head, opening the door behind her wider and pointing out the door.
"You're a very polite, dear. Your parents have done well raising you." Naruto winced, but thankfully Mrs Weasley didn't notice.
"But you really must be exhausted from travelling, you need your rest. Come on everyone, Ron and Naruto need to sleep and so do you." she ordered.
Immediately Fred, George, Ginny and Hermione looked like they wanted to protest since they obviously found Naruto interesting, but one stern look from Mrs Weasley was enough for a hasty exit and they wished Naruto goodnight and hoped to learn more about him the next day. When the door closed and the overhead lights were switched off so that the only source of light available was the side table lamp Ron had next to him, Naruto and Ron sized each other up before sitting down facing each other from their cots.
"Is there something on your mind?" Naruto asked as he shrugged off his orange hoodie and draped it over a nearby chair. Ron looked a little guilty before peeling back the doona on his cot and sliding beneath it having already gotten ready for bed.
"Er… I just wanted to say sorry for what I said before back in the Kitchen." Naruto paused in the act of taking off his jeans and glanced at Ron before chuckling in amusement.
Ron raised an eyebrow in confusion and slight offence before Naruto finished taking off his jeans and grinned at Ron as he draped them over the chair, straightening his black t-shirt. His grin reminded Ron strangely of a fox due to the six fine whisker scars on both Naruto's cheeks and how unnaturally sharp his front teeth were: almost animal like.
"Nah, it's all good. I get that a lot from people I first meet." he brushed away Ron's awkwardness before sinking beneath his doona like Ron and tucking both arms behind his head.
"Really? Why's that?" Ron mumbled as Naruto's face momentarily fell before just as quickly giving the impression that he was trying to think of an appropriate answer to Ron's question. However, Naruto was afraid that the actual answer would scare his new friend away, and just how exactly do you explain to somebody, who barely knows who you are that you have a dangerous demon living within you?
"It's complicated." he replied sighing and staring at the ceiling morosely. "But I'll let you know when I can trust you." Naruto whispered that last part to himself, before suddenly hearing Ron start to snore LOUDLY.
Naruto groaned.
Oh great! He sounds even worse than Sakura does when she has a blocked nose during a cold…
Naruto immediately flopped over to face the wall and pulled his pillow over his ear to block out the noise. Eventually, Naruto fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Naruto woke up to find himself standing ankle deep in lukewarm water in what appeared to be a sewer.
What the hell?
Naruto followed the tunnel, turning around every twist and bend in his path before he realised that he was actually standing in the middle of his subconscious where Kyuubi resided trapped behind an iron gate which was held shut with a powerful seal placed there by the Yondaime Hokage, that could only broken by Naruto himself when he was at his angriest. A situation many shinobi prayed never happened.
The blonde sighed.
"Something wrong, kit?" asked Kyuubi sounding bored. Naruto yawned and levelled Kyuubi with a glance.
"You tell me. You're the one who brought me here." said Naruto scratching his belly like he always did when woken up. The fox's huge head appeared from out of the shadows of the cage and his sinister silted red eyes blinked down at his keeper in bemusement.
"Uh…no I didn't kit, I think I'd remember if I wanted to talk with you." Naruto frowned in confusion.
"Then if you didn't bring me down here, who did?"
Naruto scanned around searching for answers when he finally noticed somebody radiating sinister vibes standing within the shadows leaning casually against the wall watching them. Naruto gawked in astonishment, before turning around and giving the stranger his full attention. He felt a sense of foreboding at the sudden appearance of this stranger.
Kyuubi shifted restlessly in his cage, also feeling uneasy that somebody had managed to infiltrate Naruto's mind so easily. The only people who were capable of entering his kit's mind without any difficulties would be those with doujutsu or a member of the Yamanaka clan. They specialised in mind-reading jutsus. The fox lord doubted strongly that the stranger standing before him and Naruto was a Yamanaka clan member, so he had to assume that whoever it was had an incredibly powerful doujutsu.
"Kyuubi? Who the hell is that?" Naruto asked feeling apprehensive.
The stranger shifted his stance slightly but remained hidden in the shadows making it impossible for Naruto or Kyuubi to identify who it was. The only thing that both Naruto and Kyuubi agreed with was that the stranger was definitely shinobi.
"If I knew the answer to that question, I would've attacked already. Wouldn't I?" said Kyuubi sounding irritated.
Naruto straightened up and deliberated whether or not he should approach the stranger to identify who the person was. He took a small step forward, but it apparently was the wrong choice as the stranger immediately retreated to a different place further away from Naruto and the trapped fox demon but remained still within plain sight of them.
"Who are the hell are you?" Naruto demanded cautiously.
The stranger didn't reply, but Naruto was convinced that whoever it was was smirking at him - something that Naruto disliked completely. What was worse was he couldn't sense anything from him - not any sign of any chakra signatures, which meant that who ever the person was was extremely good at hiding their chakra from other shinobi. He obviously viewed Naruto and Kyuubi as a threat.
"How did you get into my subconscious?" Naruto tried again. There was no reply. Naruto was starting to get frustrated and Kyuubi could sense it.
"Kit, you need to calm down." Kyuubi tried to soothe his captor but it wasn't an easy feat.
"Easy for you to say, you don't have some stranger taking residence in your subconscious." Naruto retorted. Luckily, Kyuubi was feeling generous and sympathetic to his kit's plight and decided to ignore the slight in favour of helping the obviously freaked out blonde.
"If you don't calm down right now, you're going to worry your new roommate." Kyuubi reminded him of his current whereabouts. That made Naruto temporarily forget about the silent, unnerving stranger standing in the shadows as he spared a thought towards his new friend sleeping nearby in peaceful unsuspecting slumber.
"Ron?"
He would definitely have a lot of explaining to do if Ron suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to find him basically unconscious and talking to himself in his sleep about how somebody infiltrated his subconscious. The stranger suddenly chuckled in amusement. Naruto snapped his head back towards him in shock.
He recognised that condescending laughter anywhere.
"No way, it can't be..." he whispered taking a step towards the stranger who this time made no move to evade him. He just stood there - waiting. Naruto ignored Kyuubi who was frantically trying to get him to stop, but Naruto was determined to prove his hunch wrong. If the stranger turned out to be who he thought it was… well he hadn't figured out what he was going to do next - he just wanted to confirm his suspicions.
"Kit! Get your ass back here right now!" Kyuubi demanded only to be ignored again.
Naruto made it about a foot away from the stranger when he was suddenly greeted with sinister blood red eyes that took him by surprise. Immediately, he felt dizzy and his knees buckled from underneath him.
"KIT!?" Kyuubi bellowed as strong arms quickly caught Naruto's falling body around the waist and cold, calloused hands supported his head. Blunt fingernails brushed against his scalp as he was gently lowered to the floor, water licking at his body.
"Kit? Kit! Can you hear me? Answer me, damn it!"
Naruto opened his eyes when he heard Kyuubi's deep frantic voice and registered that he was still within the confines of his mind, except that everything was now blurry, and Kyuubi's voice was fading away as reality started pulling him back. Naruto was extremely confused until a dark figure appeared in view, smirking from ear to ear as his smouldering blood red eyes looked down at him from hooded eyes. His spiky blue-black hair reflected in the dimmed orange-yellow lights on the sewer-like walls.
Naruto gasped. He definitely recognised this person.
"Sasuke?" Naruto mumbled groggily. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
Sasuke's smirk widened as his eyes faded back to his usual fathomless onyx and he bent down towards Naruto who froze, unsure what he was about to do. He got his answer when he suddenly felt soft warm lips place a gentle, barely felt kiss onto his own chapped ones…
Naruto's eyes snapped open as he was immediately shocked awake from his extremely realistic dream and sat bolt right up in bed in a cold sweat. His fingers hovered over his lips absently as he remembered what happened.
He trembled hard.
"Who's Sasuke?"
Naruto's head jerked towards where Ron was sleeping, realising that his roommate had woken up and was blinking groggily at him. Before Naruto could reply to Ron's question, there was a sharp knock at their bedroom door. Both boys looked at the door.
"Ron? Naruto?" It was Ginny. Ron moaned and flopped back onto his pillow trying to go back to sleep.
"Yeah?" Naruto replied, still shaken from his encounter with Sasuke in his subconscious as he tore the doona away from himself and sat on the side of the cot.
"Mum says breakfast is ready." she replied before both boys heard her fading footsteps.
Breakfast? Naruto's stomach growled in agreement.
"Great! I'm starved." announced Ron happily as he hopped out of the cot and pulled on his jeans, swapped his pyjama T-shirt for a stripy beige coloured T-shirt. As he headed for the door. He stopped when he realised Naruto hadn't budged from where he was sitting.
He was staring his feet, looking troubled.
"Hey, you okay mate?" Ron asked Naruto with concern.
Naruto snapped out of his musings and looked up, fixing Ron with a fake smile that wasn't as good as Sai's but got the point across as he responded to his new friend's question.
"Oh, yeah. Just still a little disoriented." he lied. Ron didn't look convinced, but his stomach growled and he seemed to heed its call rather than deal with Naruto.
"Okay. I'll see you downstairs. Careful you don't wake up Mrs Black though." he warned before quietly closing the door behind him. Naruto waited until he couldn't sense Ron anymore or hear his footsteps before he returned to his thoughts on the unexpected reappearance of Sasuke in his subconscious even though he was miles away.
What the fuck's going on? Why have you suddenly reappeared in my thoughts after all this time? And why did you KISS ME!? Is this some kind of joke?
Naruto shook his head and stood up, rooting around in his rucksack for some fresh clothing. He found another black T-shirt this time with an orange spiral pattern in the centre that represented Konoha's Leaf Symbol, and a tight pair of blue jeans that curved in all the right places - he had a security chain that he sometimes used during some downtime with Sakura, Sai and the rest of Rookie Nine and on missions where he had to remain inconspicuous which he had attached to a belt loop on his jeans and clipped Gama-chan to.
As he pulled the jeans out of his bag his fingers touched something cold. He froze for a moment before pulling it free. It was Sasuke's old hitai-ate which he took everywhere he went for inspiration and motivation. He smiled with nostalgia before setting it aside for a moment so he could get dressed. His trip to see Kyuubi had caused Naruto's seal to resurface, so now around his navel was a complicated and very detailed black swirl.
Which was exactly what Fred saw when he unexpectedly opened the door without knocking to find out what was keeping Naruto per his mother's request.
"Wow. That's such a cool tattoo - where'd you get it?" he asked sounding extremely impressed.
Naruto jumped and spun round to face Fred. He glanced at him in confusion before realising what he was talking about and hastily shoved on his black T-shirt before Fred could ask anymore questions. It was not a subject that Naruto was eager to talk about, considering that it led towards the topic of Kyuubi.
"It's a birthmark. I was born with it." Naruto replied hesitantly as he tugged Tsunade's necklace out from behind the shirt and let it dangle against his chest.
"Wicked." Fred stated as George's head darted into view around the corner as though he were attached to Fred by the hip.
"What's wicked?" he asked curiously. Fred gestured excitedly at Naruto's stomach like a hyperactive six year old just as Naruto buttoned his fly glancing at the twins like they were nuts.
"Naruto's got a really cool birthmark." he said as George's eyes widened in surprise and zeroed in on Naruto's navel. Said blonde suddenly felt the extreme urge to get as faraway as possible from the now grinning twins as he finished getting dressed by lacing up his sneakers and tying Sasuke's old hitai-ate around his bicep.
His stomach once again saved the day.
"Woah. I really must be hungry. Gotta go!" said Naruto hastily before speeding out of the room so fast he was practically a blur. It would've been easier to have just teleported out of there like any typical shinobi would have, but (and Naruto groaned in frustration because of this) he wasn't allowed to reveal what his true occupation was just yet: Dumbledore's orders.
Naruto charged down the staircase using the silent footfalls he had been trained to use as a ninja as to not wake up Mrs Black from behind her curtain and piss off Sirius. He skidded to a halt just within the threshold of the kitchen causing the people who were already in there savouring their breakfast Mrs Weasley had generously cooked up for them to look up in surprise.
Mrs Weasley narrowed her eyes disapprovingly at Naruto who chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Heh heh. Sorry about that." he apologised. Mrs Weasley still wasn't amused.
"There's never any excuse to run around in the house. Particularly this one where any loud noises will disturb that dreadful woman behind that curtain. No offence, Sirius." she apologised to said man who seated at the head of the table munching away at a piece of toast as Mrs Weasley lectured Naruto on house etiquette as he sat down at the table next to Hermione who immediately blushed causing Ron to scowl discreetly at him.
"Don't stress, Molly." he said grinning almost wolf-like at her. Mrs Weasley straightened up and moved towards the stove.
"Now Naruto, what would you like for breakfast? Bacon, Eggs and Sausage? Pancakes? Toast? Porridge? Cereal? Kippers?" she waited for orders politely. Naruto nearly drooled at most of the options… except for Kippers.
What the heck are Kippers? he thought.
"Uh? What are Kippers?" he asked curiously.
"They're a kind of fish." answered Mr Weasley who was tucking into a large plate of Bacon, Eggs and Sausage and sipping on a small cup of Tea.
Naruto glanced around at what everyone else was eating for some ideas: Ron was eating the same thing as his father at top speed and had a large glass of Orange Juice; as did Fred and George who had come into the room minutes after Naruto did and were chatting amongst themselves, occasionally glancing at Naruto now and then; Sirius was eating a simple plate of Toast and Jam but had a small cup of coffee; Hermione was quietly eating a bowl of something white and lumpy with something golden drizzled on top that made Naruto's nose wrinkle at the smell with a cup of Tea; and Ginny was eating cereal and had a large glass of Orange Juice.
"Er… Pancakes, please." said Naruto grinning at Mrs Weasley who smiled back.
"Of course, dear. Won't be a minute." and turned back to the stove.
Naruto yawned and glanced around the sunlit room and a large glass of Orange Juice hovered through the air and landed promptly in front of him much to Naruto's astonishment.
"Uh…thanks?" said Naruto.
"You're welcome, dear." said Mrs Weasley. Naruto took a generous sip from the glass as Hermione grabbed his attention.
"Did you sleep well, Naruto?" she asked politely taking a sip from her tea. He nodded stretching a little causing the sunlight to reflect off Sasuke's hitai-ate on his arm catching everyone's attention.
"What's that there?" asked Sirius politely, but Naruto could sense some caution radiating from him that made him raise an eyebrow. Why was Sirius so wary of him? Did he do something insulting?
"Oh, just decoration. It's something my friends and I wear back at home." Naruto replied vaguely, wishing Sirius would stop looking at him - knowing that he wasn't giving all the facts.
"Why is there a slash through that strange symbol?" Hermione asked gingerly running a finger across the scrape Naruto had once made with his kunai long ago when he fought against Sasuke at the Valley of the End. Naruto felt a sharp pang before answering her question.
"Oh, that? These come in different designs." he explained "That symbol represents the Village I came from: the Village Hidden in the Leaves." Naruto elaborated further.
"That sounds pretty." Ginny remarked smiling at him.
"Are you apart of some sort of Gang?" asked Fred grinning at him slyly. Naruto frowned.
"Why do you say that?" he asked cautiously.
"'Cause you mentioned that your friends all have one. We assumed that it was something that you wore to represent some sort of Gang." George answered.
Naruto paled slightly which made Sirius sit up a little straighter at that and narrow his eyes. Mrs Weasley who turned around at that moment with a plate of pancakes misinterpreted Naruto's change in colour to feeling uncomfortable and sternly reprimanded her twins.
"Don't assume anything, boys. Get all the information first before interpreting anything. You've made poor Naruto uncomfortable." she said placing down Naruto's breakfast in front of him, causing him to instantly perk up and seize his knife and fork. He grinned happily at Mrs Weasley.
"Thanks!" he beamed before attacking his meal with vigour. Mrs Weasley smiled indulgently at him before turning away to finish what she had been doing before Naruto, Fred and George arrived.
Sirius then rose from his seat.
"Please excuse me, Molly. I'm expecting an owl from Dumbledore about his arrival to explain Naruto's presence here, and I need to feed Buckbeak." he said.
"Of course, Sirius. Do what you need to do." she said drying her hands with a Tea Towel. Naruto's head jerked up with interest.
"Who's Buckbeak?" he asked with his mouth full.
Mrs Weasley and Hermione wrinkled their nose disapprovingly, but Sirius gave a small smile before answering.
"Just a friend of mine. You may meet him later on if you wish." he replied causing Naruto to grin so brightly it almost rivalled the sun.
"YOSH! That'd be great, thanks!" he yelled before continuing his attack on his breakfast. Sirius chuckled with amusement before heading out of the kitchen towards the staircase.
He is certainly going to be an interesting one… He thought.
Please remember to review! Otherwise I don't know if you're enjoying it or not :D
