"You know he never told us how to get onto the platform," Roku pointed out in boredom. "So how do we find it?"

Harry shrugged slightly, ignoring the stares they were getting because of their hitai-ites and scrolls. "When we see something strange, then we'll know," he replied. "Unless one of you two can see past Genjutsu."

"What do we look like, Hyuugas?!" Terra growled lowly. Normally she was a morning person, if she woke up of her own accord. But this morning was not one of those mornings since a certain someone (*cough*Roku*cough*) had woken her up by dumping a bucket of ice cold water with ice still in it on her head.

"Terra, get revenge on Roku later on the train instead of taking it out on me," Harry sighed.

"Don't think I won't," Terra said, glaring at the calm and unfazed Roku.

"Come along now!" someone yelled. "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters this way!"

"Talk about secret-keeping," Roku sarcastically commented when they spotted a clan of red-heads. "Should we follow?"

Harry thought for a second before walked after the clan. His teammates looked at each other before following after him without complaint. The three stopped when the clan did before the oldest male with them rushed forth and disappeared through a brick wall.

"Smart or dumb?" Terra asked.

"Depends," Harry replied before walking forward when a pair of joking twins rushed through the brick wall as well. "Excuse me," he said, making the matriarch of the clan jump slightly. "Our guide told us to get onto the Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, but never told us how. Could you please help us?" Roku pretended to stumble by Harry's act towards someone that didn't even look like they deserved his respect. Terra hit him on the head.

"Oh, of course, dear," the woman replied. "All you have to do is just walk straight at the barrier between Platforms Nine and Ten. Best do it in a bit of a rush if you're nervous."

"Good luck," the girl by her said with a small smile.

Terra glared at her as Roku sneered, but she didn't seem to notice as Harry was offered to go before the woman's youngest son. Harry thanked her for her help before running straight at the wall and appearing on another platform filled with other new students pushing trolleys filled with trunks. Noises of animals and different voice echoed through the air, making him want to get somewhere quiet, though he couldn't without his teammates. He turned around in time to see Terra come through before Roku appeared a second later.

"Makes you glad we have these for our packing, right?" Harry asked as he headed towards the steaming train. The two nodded as they followed after him onboard and into the first empty compartment they found. As soon as the door was closed, they removed their scrolls before biting down on their thumbs and making hand signs. They slammed their hands to the ground before exclaiming out, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Smoke filled the compartment before thinning out and disappearing to reveal three animals. Ritsa immediately wrapped herself around Harry's arm and continued her way up until she reached his shoulders. A golden hawk with amber eyes and unusual black wings perched itself on Terra's shoulder as a black spider the size of a MinPin with yellow rings around the joints of its legs and a thick red ring around its neck scurried over to Roku and jumped into his lap.

Terra and Roku sat on one side, minding to their own summon, while Harry leaning against the window on the other side of the compartment and staring out to the platform where families gave tearful good-byes while other students boarded the train or reunited with friends. "It's pathetic," he murmured, but both his teammates heard him. "Acting as such around parents or children only shows how much of a weakness you have. It's better to act as though there is a wide berth between parent and child so they would not be used as the other's weakness."

"Not many understand that, Harry," Terra pointed out.

"It's still pathetic, though," he stated before the train gave a lurch once all students were onboard. "Even I do not behave as such with Chichue when others are around to witness." Slowly at first before picking up speed, the train left the station.

They sat in silence, watching the scenery go by in a blur. They reached country in barely any time at all before someone opened the compartment door and the three looked over in unison. "Hi," the younger boy of the red-head clan meekly greeted. "Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is full."

Harry nodded once before staring out the window. He knew the boy lied about everywhere else. If that was the case, then where was he the entire train ride since they left to now? Wondering the halls checking into compartments?

"My name's Ron, by the way," he introduced himself once he was seated. "Ron Weasley."

Harry glanced at him. Ritsa's stare was enough to tell him that she didn't approve much of his either. Still, it wouldn't hurt to play with the boy's mind. "Harry Potter," he said, ignoring Ron's look of surprise. "These are my friends Terra Itonami and Roku Yaminji. This is my snake Ritsa, Terra's hawk Yue, and Roku's spider Jiyo."

All three creatures looked at the red-head, all glaring at him, before reluctantly nodding to him once. Harry saw Ron flinch slightly when the spider and snake stared at him, or maybe it was their size that scared him.

He looked as though he was about to say something when an elder woman pushing a cart covered with sweets stopped in front of the compartment. "Anything off the trolley, dears?" she asked in a kind voice.

Ron said he was good, holding up a sandwich he didn't seem enthusiastic to eat. He probably really wanted the candy, but couldn't get any because he had no money. That was Harry's guess, but he didn't care. He had a sweet tooth as did his teammates. "We'll take the lot," he said, pulling out a handful of galleons. The red-head went wide-eye at the sight.

Soon, the floor and seats were covered with wrapped candies and sweets and the wrappers of the already devoured. Jiyo was chasing around a Chocolate frog that Roku set loose as Ritsa stared from her spot on the seat at the rat with its head in a box on the other boy's lap. Yue watched the rat as well, but pecked at a strawberry jelly bean. Harry bit the legs off of his Chocolate Frog before the head with a satisfying smirk. Terra was eating more and more beans out of her own box, occasionally spitting them out the now opened window, and it was open for good reason. Roku nibbled on a Pumpkin Pastry as the red-headed boy gobbled as much as he could without his mouth closed.

"So, where have you been?" he asked with a full mouth. "After You-Know-Who attacked your home, everyone said you disappeared."

"You-Know-Who?" Terra repeated in confusion.

"Chichue said that was one of the titles the man who killed okaa-san went by, but his true name was Voldemort," Harry stated, nearly laughing when Ron almost choked on the disgusting mess in his mouth when he said the name. "He said that the man is no real threat, so there is no real reason to fear him."

"Not a threat?!" Ron squeaked. "Is this Chichue guy of yours off his rocker?!"

He soon found himself pressed against the wall with an odd looking knife at his throat and many eyes glaring at him. Terra and Roku started packing up the sweets, ready to move out on Harry's command. "You listen and you listen good," Harry growled at him. "My Chichue, my father, may not be the sanest man alive, but he is highly respected back home. So this Voldemort of yours murdered a few witches and wizards, big goddamn deal! My father can steal your life, your face, and your name, just as he had done to so many others. So I suggest you shut the hell up." The red-head nodded weakly before Harry pulled away his kunai. "We're moving somewhere else," he told his teammates as he picked Ritsa up and placed her on his shoulder.

The other two nodded, already having their scrolls on their back and sweets in a large web bag that Jiyo quickly made with non-stick web. Harry snapped open the door and slammed it closed once the others were out, leaving the other boy alone with only wrappers upon wrappers, all empty of their once sweet contents. They didn't make it far down the hall when two people their age came up to them. "Have any of you seen a toad?" the girl with bushy hair asked since the boy with her seemed to nervous to speak.

"Sorry," Terra spoke, knowing Harry was still too mad to answer politely. "But no, we haven't."

"Oh, okay," the girl said. "Thanks anyway."

She headed towards the compartment that they headed out of before Terra stopped her. "I wouldn't go in there," she warned. "The boy in there is incredibly rude and disgusting. Plus, we just left that compartment. Your toad isn't in there."

"Oh, okay," the girl said before continuing on her way down the hall. "Thanks again."

"At least some people around here have manners," Roku commented.

"Thank goodness for small miracles, right, Harry?" Terra giggled, wrapped her arm around his as Roku grabbed his other arm. "Now come along before you do something drastic that would make a bad first impression in our new zone of mischief causing!"

Harry snickered before Jiyo scurried off and disappeared for a moment. He came back in excitement. "I found an almost empty compartment!" the spider exclaimed. "There's only one person in it! But he seems better than that other human boy."

"Then let's just go ahead and sit with this boy," Roku sighed as the three followed after the excited spider to the near empty compartment.

Harry removed his arms from Terra and Roku's grips before opening the compartment and seeing Draco Malfoy sitting there, staring out the window. He jumped when he suddenly saw their reflections in the glass. "Bloody hell!" he exclaimed before clearing his throat and putting on a blank face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to have an outburst like that. I was just startled by your sudden appearance."

"Understandable," Harry chuckled. "Do you mind if we sit with you?"

"Not at all," Draco replied, waving his hand to the empty spaces surrounding him. Once again, Terra and Roku sat next to each other as Harry sat next to Draco. "That is a beautiful serpent you have," he commented, looking at Ritsa, who hissing in pleasure. "Very gorgeous animals you have."

"You're the first to say such a thing, human child," the hawk said in a wise voice. "We thank you for your compliments. I am called Yue."

"My name's Jiyo!" the spider chirped.

"And I am Ritsa," the silver snake introduced herself.

"Wow," Draco whispered. "I didn't expect to hear them talk."

"Not many hear the words of creatures," terra stated, rubbing the top of Yue's head. "They speak a language we do not understand, but these creatures have found their human voices. Unfortunately, even human voices are often ignored or unheard."

"That's true," the blonde agreed.

Roku suddenly smirked before holding out the web bag and dumping it upside-down. "We brought plenty, so enjoy it," he stated. "It isn't very often I find someone I can stand."

Draco's eyes went wide at the sight of all the sweets now scattered all over the floor. "What did you do?" he asked. "Buy the entire trolley?

"I didn't," Roku scoffed then pointed to Harry. "He did." Harry reached over and snatched the Chocolate Frog Roku was about to set loose for Jiyo before biting its head off. "It also means he has the right to take what he wants from whoever he wants," the teen grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest.

The blonde wizard snickered slightly before noticing Roku's eyes. How could he not notice before? "Hey, can I ask you something?" he said, looking at Roku.

"Experiment," Roku stated. "Not only changed my eyes, but small bits of my DNA. It's nothing to worry about."

"Being part demon is nothing to worry about?" Terra asked in a playful manner.

"Only to those who get on my bad side," Roku replied with a feral grin.

Harry rolled his eyes with a shake of his head. "I think we should get changed since who knows how long it'll take until we reach our destination," he suggested before the others nodding in agreement. The three nins unfurled their scrolls before summoning what it was they wanted. Draco watching in amazement as he pulled his clothes out of his trunk.

"How'd you do that?" he asked.

"Nona ya," Harry replied with a smirk, removing his long-sleeve shirt to reveal something wrapped around his arms.

"And what are those?" the blonde asked.

"Weights," Terra replied, pulling off her own shirt to show a tight black tank-top that covered just enough. "We need to keep up our strength and stamina. And those are special weights. Every week that goes by, they gain another pound."

"Impressive," Draco commented, then noticed the other two had them as well, not to mention all three also had them on their legs. He would have asked if Terra would be more comfortable dressing in another area, but seeing that she was wearing enough under clothing to cover everything, he didn't.

The rest of the train ride to Hogwarts was definitely more pleasant than when it started. The blonde didn't pry too far into their business and knew when to back off. He had manners of a Lord, even when he wasn't being mentally compared to the red-head from early, and he was more intelligent. Not to mention the animals seemed to like him as well.

The train eventually slowed to a stop and a voice said to leave all belongings in the compartments and they'll be sent to Hogwarts separately. The three nins looked at each other before grabbing their scrolls and hoisting them onto their backs as the three summon animals went to their preferred spots on their masters. Ritsa was draped over Harry's shoulder with her head reaching across the front of his neck and laying on her head on the other end of her body. Yue perched himself on Terra's shoulders after using his beak to move some of her hair away from him. She removed it from her traditional bun. Jiyo climbed up Roku's being once again before stationing himself on the boy's shoulder, gripping it as though he was a piece of armor. The blonde made no commented, just left his stuff like he was told.

It confused the Oto Nins that second years and above got to ride in carriages pulled by the most unusual looking creatures that they had ever seen while first years had to go by boat across a large lake and be greeted by a stern older witch and be led into a room to be left alone until called. Draco said that it had always been that way, according to his father.

The witch McGonagall eventually came back in and instructed all the first years to form a line and follow after her. They did as instructed and were guided to a large Hall with the night sky as the ceiling and floating candles everywhere. Four tables were side by side with gaps between them, each one held students with two colors on their school robes that were different from the other three tables, but every student at one table wore the same colors. 'Must be the whole House deal,' Harry thought to himself.

Up front, though, was a fifth table where full grown witches and wizards sat, the staff table. Harry felt a prod in his mind before his emerald eyes shot to the eldest at the table, a man with a nearly white beard and hair just as near white that blended into it. His eyes hiding behind his half-moon spectacles were a twinkling blue and the more they twinkled, the more powerful the prod felt.

Orochimaru warned him of this man, saying that from what his mother once said about him, he was manipulative and saw everything as a giant chess game. He also told him that no matter where he went, he needed to keep him mind locked away, especially when this old Headmaster was around. After all, who knew how many others here could read minds.

Sitting in front of the staff table was a three-legged stool with a ragged hat sitting on it, totally inconspicuous. Yue glared at it, knowing that it wasn't an ordinary hat, especially when every student looked at it before a rip formed and it began to sing.

"Creepy," Harry commented, crossing his arms over his chest as the hat finished its song.

"Unusual," Roku added in his two cents.

"Do it again!" Terra excitedly exclaimed. The two boys sighed, expecting her to do that.

"When I call your name," McGonagall said when the hat and crowd was silent, "you will put the Sorting Hat on and sit on the stool to be sorted." She unrolled the parchment she had before calling out names in what seemed a random order. One by one, students went up to be sorted. Eventually, one of the nins was called. "Itonami, Terra!" the girl calmly walked up to the stool, earning a few lustful gazes for her lean figure and confused stares for the hawk perched on her shoulder and scroll on her back.

Terra sat upon the stool before Yue jumped from her shoulder to her held out arm while the hat covered her head. 'Ah, a shinobi,' she heard a voice say. 'I suppose I should feel honored to sort one trained by the ancient ways of martial arts, but being honored doesn't get anyone sorted.' Terra giggled slightly. 'Now let me see. An unwavering thirst for mischief and mayhem as well as a loyalty to your team that I have seen in no other mind. What's this? An assassin? Well then, I suppose I should place you in-' "SLYTHERIN!" it yelled out before the house of green and silver politely clapped, not as loud as the other three tables generally were when a new one joined them.

The hat was removed and Yue placed himself back on Terra's shoulders before she skipped off to sit next to Draco, who was sorted earlier. "One as hyper and happy as her would never be taken for one of Oto's greater assassins," Harry commented. Roku nodded once in agreement.

Two more students were called before, "Potter, Harry!" The entire room fell into deathly silence as Harry stepped forward. Ritsa lifted her head slightly at the silence, but lowered once Harry was sitting on the stool with the hat flaps covering his eyes.

'Another shinobi, and the famous Harry Potter!' the hat exclaimed mentally before Harry strengthened his mind, thinking someone else was trying to read his thoughts. 'Let those down, boy! Or I will not be able to sort you.' The strengthened barriers were let down enough for only the hat to see what it needed to. 'Paranoia from your true father, eh? Oh well. Judging from your ways, it is no surprise to me. Not where should I put you. You can easily go into any of these houses.

'You are loyal and just like a Hufflepuff.

'Brave and courageous like a Gryffindor.

'Intelligent and observant as a Ravenclaw.

'Yet cunning and sly like a Slytherin.

'Where should I put you when you have all these qualities that could place you into any one of the Hogwarts Houses?'

'Seat me where you see fit for my personality and ways,' Harry suggested.

'Very well then,' the hat chuckled. "SLYTHERIN!"

The same table politely clapped for him while the other four were stunned silent. "How amusing their reactions are," Ritsa commented, being heard by everyone. "I wonder why they fall silent."

"We won't worry about it, Ritsa," Harry stated as he sat by Terra, rubbing the top of his serpent's head.

McGonagall seemed to have snapped out of her stupor before everyone else and called up the next student. "Yaminji, Roku!"

Roku walked up to the stool with an empty face that sent shivers down the spines of everyone that looked at him but his teammates. Jiyo shifted slightly, but not enough to be noticing by anyone other than his summoner as the nin sat down. As soon as the hat just touched an end of one hair, he mentally bombarded it with many images and thoughts. "SLYTHERIN!" the hat exclaimed after the mental attack before Roku stood and went over to the table and sat, hands still in his pockets.

"Do we even want to know?" Terra asked him while McGonagall continued calling out names.

"No," he replied plainly as he lifted one of his legs and placed it on the other.

"Terra, it's Roku," Harry pointed out. "What do you expect?"
