An: Greeting all, welcome to chapter 7 of Hogwarts Overkill. I would like to start out with the usual thanks to all those who Favorite, Follow and Review this story, if you feel like it, please leave a review, it inspires me to write more chapters.
I would also like to thank Mexcore for explaining to me that if I post a second chapter within 20 hours, the date of update won't change.
Man, this chapter was hard to write. I had writers block and was just staring at the screen for an hour before I could even write the simplist of sentences. Due to possible future writers block, I might not be able to update this story daily, but I might write something else to work through it. A second story if you will. I do have a few ideas on other stories I can write to try and break through writers block, one of which would be a regular Naruto fanfiction where he is born with shikotsumyaku or some other kekkei genkai and is possibly not related to Kushina or Minato... I'm still working on the idea, but I might post something on it soon.
Enough of my gabbling. Onto the story
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter... Yet, kukukuku
Chapter 7: The trip
Harry looked over the suit he was wearing. Soon he would be going to his Disciplinary hearing. Harry was nervous and that screeching noise wasn't helping at all. "I need some air." Harry suddenly said, before rushing out of the room. Racing down the hallway, Harry wasn't watching where he was going and collided with a wall of muscle, before falling to the floor.
"Yo little man, what's the rush, no need to blush." Bee rapped as he stared down at Harry. Grabbing Harry's hand, Bee quickly pulled him to his feet.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to bump into you." Harry apologised. "Um, you're Killer Bee, right?" Harry asked suddenly.
Bee smirked as he placed his thumb on his chest. "That's who I be little man. Killer Bee the Hachibi Jinchuriki." Bee rapped.
"I would like to apologise about what I said last night. It was rude of me to call you a murderer and I'm sorry for that." Harry apologised.
"No worries little man. So what's the plans, why are you running down these hallways like your running from somethang?" Bee asked.
"Um." Harry muttered, trying to decipher what Bee just said. "I needed some air."
"Then take a breath or it's your death." Bee said, before he started walking down the hallway. "You coming or are you just slumming."
Deciding to follow Bee, Harry immediately caught up with him.
"So what's bothering you? Some doddering old fool?" Bee asked as the duo walked down the stairs.
"Something like that." Harry replied, surprised that he understood what Bee was asking him. At Bee's questioning look, Harry decided to explain. "Fudge is trying to get me expelled from Hogwarts for protecting myself." He suddenly said.
Bee paused to open the front door, before motioning for Harry to continue his explanation.
"I just don't get it. Why is Fudge so insistent on ignoring Voldemort's return, I know that it's scary to think about, but if he keeps ignoring it, things will get much worse." Harry ranted. "I just don't know what to do." Harry said sadly.
"I can't tell you what to do because then you would be a tool. It's up to you, so stay true to those you care about, fool ya fool." Bee rapped.
"But what if I can't beat Voldemort?" Harry asked.
"Then leave him to us, it won't be a big fuss." Bee replied.
"Octopops, there you are. I was looking all over for you." Naruto said, having finally found Bee. "Who are you?" Naruto asked, his gaze on Harry.
"Oh, I'm Harry Potter. I'm sorry, but what was your name again?" Harry asked, trying to remember the names he heard at breakfast. "I think it began with Orochi."
"Hell no. My name's Naruto. Come on, say it with me NA-RU-TO." Naruto said, not liking that someone almost called him Orochimaru.
"Sorry, your names are a bit difficult to remember." Harry apologised.
"It's alright, I just don't like being mistaken for Orochimaru." Naruto replied.
"Did you get that clown to keep it down?" Bee rapped.
"Yeah. I got him to use muffing seals so we wouldn't have to keep listening to that screeching." Naruto explained, before getting a thumbs up from Bee.
"Wait. You know what that screeching noise was?" Harry asked suddenly, curious to know what was causing that noise.
"Yeah, one of Orochimaru's snakes informed him that there was some strange creature in the attic. Apparently when he went there he found that redheaded woman crying. In Orochimaru's words, the creature was tormenting her." Naruto explained.
Harry's eyes widened at what he heard, before he ran off towards the attic. "What's his problem?" Naruto asked as he watched Harry race off.
Bee just shook his head. "Fool ya fool." He muttered.
"Might as well follow him, it could be interesting." Naruto said, before he began following Harry.
'Misses Weasley said that she was going to clean the attic.' Harry thought as he ran down the hallway. Accidentally bumping into Sirius, Harry muttered a quick apology, before he continued his previous pace, unintentionally getting Sirius to follow him. Darting up the stairs, Harry finally found himself at the attic door. Reaching to open it, Harry found someone had grabbed his hand, preventing him from grabbing the doorknob.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Naruto began, keeping Harry from entering the room.
"Let me go, I have to help Misses Weasley." Harry said, as Sirius arrived.
"Molly? She's not in there, she's down stairs." Sirius explained.
"But Naruto said that she's in there..." Harry replied.
"You didn't let me finish. I said that she was in there, but she left after Orochimaru began his study." Naruto interrupted.
Before Harry could reply, the attic door swung open and out walked a very pale looking Alastor Moody. "He's finished." Moody said, before he calmly walked away.
"That's not the reaction I would expect of someone witnessing Orochimaru study something." Naruto commented, as the group watched Moody. Moody headed down a single flight of stairs, before entering one of the rooms on the side. "Hey, what room is that?" Naruto asked Sirius curiously.
"It's a bathroom, but why would Moody be going there now. Moody never goes to the bathroom when people are watching, he says that you're most vulnerable when in the bathroom." Sirius said.
The sound of someone being sick sounded through the stairway. "That's the reaction I would expect of someone witnessing Orochimaru study something." Naruto began.
"Did you call me Naruto-kun?" Orochimaru asked as he left the attic.
"No... You still have blood on your face." Naruto replied, before gesturing to where the blood was splattered on Orochimaru's grinning face.
"I... I have a Disciplinary hearing to go to." Harry stuttered, disturbed by the grin on Orochimaru's face.
"Yeah, me too." Sirius added, before grabbing Harry's shoulder. "Let's get going to our Disciplinary hearing."
"Odd." Orochimaru noted as he watched the retreating backs of Sirius and Harry.
Naruto sighed. "I know what you mean. One moment they're fine and then the next someone covered in blood mentally scars on of their friends and then proceeds to act like nothing is wrong." Naruto said sarcastically.
"That's not why I said odd." Orochimaru began. "When I looked into that boy's eyes I saw something else looking back. It was only for a moment, but I definitely saw something else in that boys eyes, something that doesn't belong."
"That is odd." Naruto said.
A day had passed since Harry's hearing and a few things had happened. Harry had gone to his Disciplinary hearing and found out that Fudge had changed the time to be earlier. Luckily Arthur had made sure that Harry arrived hours earlier then the first set time, so Harry arrived on time. Fudge had tried to rush the hearing and get Harry expelled, but Dumbledore had arrived in the nick of time to prevent the expulsion by providing a witness to the attack, before leaving after the charges were acquitted. When he arrived back at Grimmauld place, Harry was immediately pulled into a hug by Molly Weasley, before she told him to help Ron clean their room and that they would hold a celebratory dinner. The next morning, Harry and Ron hastily packed their trunks, before they left Grimmauld place for King's cross.
"Harry... Harry." Hermione waved her hand in front of Harry's face.
"I'm sorry, could you please repeat that?" Harry asked apologetically.
Hermione sighed. "Do you think that those shinobi are going to be on the train with us?" Hermione asked, a little irritated at having to repeat her question.
"I don't know, maybe they will. Why do you ask?" Harry asked, wondering why Hermione was interested in the shinobi.
"it would be interesting to learn about their culture. They use such interesting magic, did you know that Naruto can make numerous copies of himself." Hermione replied.
"That's interesting, I wond..." Harry felt something nudging his leg. Looking down, Harry came face to face with Padfoot. "Sirius, what are you doing here?" Harry whispered.
Padfoot whined, before he nudged Harry into the bathroom. Transforming back into a human, Sirius gave a cheeky grin. "Well I had to see you off." He said, before giving Harry a quick hug. "There's something I would like to ask you while you are at Hogwarts."
"What?" Harry asked suddenly.
"I want to ask you to stay away from Orochimaru. I talked with Alastor and he told me what that man did and I don't want you around someone like that." Sirius explained.
"Don't worry Sirius, I want to be around him as much as you do." Harry replied.
"Alright. I think you should be going now, you don't want to miss the Hogwarts express again, do you?" Sirius teased, before giving one last hug to Harry.
"See you during the holidays." Harry said his goodbye, before leaving the bathroom. Upon exiting the bathroom, Harry found himself face to face with Moody.
"Did you hear everything you need to know?" Moody asked suddenly.
"Um, yeah." Harry replied awkwardly. "I should really be going now." Harry continued, before he ran off, trying to catch up with the Weasley's and Hermione.
On the Hogwarts express
"Man, that was tiring." Ron complained as he fell onto the seat in one of the compartments.
"I know what you mean, everyone's in a rush to get to their friends." Hermione said, taking a seat next to Harry. "Harry?" Hermione asked, noticing the distant look in Harry's eyes.
"Yes?" Harry asked suddenly.
"What's wrong? you seem distant." Hermione asked.
"I was just thinking about something Sirius said to me... He wants me to stay away from Orochimaru. While I wasn't originally going to go out of my way to talk to Orochimaru, I wonder why Sirius is so worried about him." Harry replied
"He's probably just worried mate. Don't think about it too much." Ron said.
A knock at the door brought Harry out of his thoughts. Looking at the door, Harry was shocked to see the one they were discussing. "Yes?" Harry asked cautiously.
"No need to be so nervous Harry-kun. I merely wish to discuss something with you." Orochimaru replied.
'Sirius said not to speak to him, but avoiding him will be hard. I suppose I should just see what he wants.' Harry thought, before opening the door.
"Thank you. If my suspicions prove to be wrong then this will be a short conversation." Orochimaru said.
Harry almost didn't want to ask. "And if your suspicions are proven right?" He asked.
"Then you and I will have something to talk about." Orochimaru replied, a smile stretching across his face.
"So what do you want?" Harry asked nervously.
"How did you get that mark on your forehead. Someone gave it to you, didn't they?" Orochimaru asked suddenly.
"Yes, Voldemort gave me this scar when I was a baby. Why do you want to know?" Harry glanced back at Hermione and Ron.
Orochimaru chuckled. "All in good time, Harry-kun." Orochimaru said, before continuing his questions. "Tell me, do you share any traits with this Voldemort. It could be anything, eye colour, personality traits or even something genetic."
"I think I know where you're going with this. Dumbledore told me that Voldemort accidentally gave me some of his power. Is that all you wanted to know?" Harry asked, growing frustrated with Orochimaru's questions.
"So you know that you share some traits with Voldemort? Interesting." Orochimaru said. "There's one final thing that I would like to confirm that will change the direction of this conversation." Orochimaru continued. 'This is more Naruto-kun's and Bee's expertise, but I should be able to do it.' He thought as he presented his fist to Harry. "Bump it with your fist."
Not seeing any harm, Harry bumped Orochimaru's fist before his world twisted and all that he could see was blackness. "What the... Where am I, what did you do to me?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Kukuku, calm yourself Harry-kun. This is the last thing that I want to check." Orochimaru's voice echoed throughout the darkness. "Now where are you, I can feel you here. Found you." Orochimaru said, before the darkness faded away and Harry found himself back in his compartment.
"What was that? Where were we? How did we get back here?" Harry asked quickly. "Did you see it too?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione.
"See what mate? all you did was knock your fist against his and then you started asking us questions." Ron said.
"Ron's right Harry, you've been here all along." Hermione added.
"No, but I was in the darkness and Orochimaru said he was looking for something and... What did you do?" Harry asked, glaring at Orochimaru.
"Kukuku. It seems that I have an offer for you Harry-kun. Tell me, would you like to know the truth about your scar?" Orochimaru offered, a twisted smile stretching across his face.
An: And there we have it, chapter 7 is done. This chapter was difficult to write, not because I didn't know what to write, but because I just couldn't write. As I said earlier, it might be a few days before my next update for this story. Thank's for reading this chapter, if you feel like it, please leave a review.
