Ginny Weasley

"Ah! Boy! That's the wrong…"

"Ouch!"

"Wrong wall…"

That's how they first met. She was just keeping company to her mother while their brothers were to take the train that would take them to Hogwarts. And then she saw another boy who seemed to have heard of the 'run in the wall' thing, but had gotten the wrong wall. He met it face first, since he was holding his luggage behind him. He was currently rubbing his sore nose on the ground. She left her mother's side to go check on him, mimicked by the older woman right after. "Are you alright?"

"Been better… Owie…" He got back on his feet and brushed his clothes. She took her time to observe him. He had unusual hair, like her. There weren't many people with that shade of blonde, or that were that spiky. And blue eyes. And she had those things on his cheeks that made him look like a cat… Or a fox? He suddenly smiled at her. "Thanks for the concern."

"Oh, dear. You need to pay more attention. The right wall is the one over there." Said her mother, pointing to the wall her brothers and that dark haired boy had walked into a few seconds before.

"Ah, really? Thanks, mrs… Uhm, I don't think I got your name…" He said, scratching the back of his head. She giggled. He was funny.

"Mrs Weasley. And she's my daughter Ginny." Replied the woman, smiling warmly. He nodded and smiled back, while taking a hold of his trolley again.

"Alright. Thanks for the help, Weasley-san. Ginny-chan." He bowed and then ran through the right wall, this time. Ginny blinked in confusion at the strange words he had used, while Mrs Weasley emitted a 'Ahhhh…' of sudden understanding.

"Mom, what does 'chan' mean?"

--

From what she had been explained, the strange boy who she hadn't gotten the name of was some kind of exchanged student from a far, far country. And 'chan' was an affectionate suffix that they used for cute girls in his country. When his brothers came back home, though, she heard that they had gotten quite friendly with him. His name was Naruto, they said. They said that he was the best prankster they had ever seen as well. That made her mother pale. Even better than Fred and George? The world was doomed. But it just made her even more curious. She wanted to know more about him. In her eyes, she as interesting as Harry Potter… Well, almost.

When she joined Hogwarts as well, she was surprised when she found out he was in Griffyndor as well. He was the first one to wave at her when she walked to the table. Cue her brothers asking him how the hell he knew their sister, and why the hell he had never told them he had met her and their mother. He simply replied that he never asked for their surnames. She giggled when he saw her brothers, for once, speechless.

But due to her shyness and her brothers hogging him all his time for his pranks, she never got to talk to him that much. The first time they talked for real was after the diary incident. She was in the infirmary when she woke up, surrounded by her brothers, Harry and a certain Hermione. She asked if it had been Harry to save her. He shook his head. He said that Naruto had helped her. He said that he had got swallowed by the basilisk but had made him explode from the inside by doing that multiplication thing she had seen him doing a couple of times. Only with a lot more of copies. When she asked why he wasn't there with them, they pointed behind her. He was sleeping in the bed to her right. He had passed out after making the snake explode. When he woke up, it was evening, and she was reading a book.

"Yaaawn… What a nap… Oh! Ginny-chan! Are you alright?!" Ginny put the book down and turned to him. She nodded. Then she lowered her head.

"I'm… I'm sorry if you got in trouble because of me…" She said, looking at her hands while talking. He shook his head.

"No problem! I mean, I got to kill a huge snake! That was so cool!" When she heard his words, she stared at him confused and then giggled again.

"You're so strange…"

"Ah, by the way… You really were that lonely?" Ginny felt a little embarrassed at that. "That bastard Tom, there… He told us that you turned to him because you were lonely."

"… Yes, it's true. I… I didn't make many friends…"

"… I'm sorry." She got confused when he bowed to her in apology. "I would have wanted to talk to you right away but your brothers kept on telling me that we had to work on those new prank things. I can't believe I overlooked how lonely you were. I was once in the same situation…" He raised his head again and gave her a thumbs up. "I promise you that I will never let something like this happen to you again! And that I will never let you alone again!"

"…" She didn't know why. She was still 11, she wasn't that experienced with relationship between people… But she liked the sound of those words. She smiled at him and nodded. "You promised."

"Of course! I never go back on my words! That's… Waaaaah!" He fell from the bed. She couldn't help but laugh. She really needed it.

--

Naruto really never let her alone again. Every time he had some free time, he went to search for her. They talked about lots of things and then did a lots of things together as well. She loved when he let her ride his back and he jumped from roof to roof of Hogwarts. In her mind it was even better than riding a broomstick. And she loved messing with his hair as well. He didn't like it very much, but he let her do it all the same. He was always there for her, doing all he could to make her smile. That was how she found herself, during her third year, his fourth one, giving him their first kiss.

It was right after the dance. He had asked her to come with him, not understanding that the point of the whole thing was asking someone you liked that way. She loved how clueless he could be. After the dance he had taken her for a walk near the lake. Just in time to see Hagrid get rejected, hidden behind a bush.

"Poor Hagrid… It was going well…" He frowned. "I mean, what the hell did he say that was wrong?! She WAS a half-giant! It was so evident!" Ginny rolled her eyes in reply.

"Girls don't like when people call them big, Naruto." She hit him on his right arm. Then she made her best imitation of a fainting princess, the back of one of her hands on her forehead. "They want beautiful men to tell them how frail, delicate and beautiful they are…"

"Well, you are. She wasn't!" She giggled and let her head rest on his shoulder.

"You really don't get it, hn?" She pushed him away and sat in front of him. "Come on, try it. Make me some compliments."

"Hmmm…" Naruto squinted his eyes in concentration. "Well, you are…"

"Not like this, baka." She liked the sound of that word he had taught her. "Like you want to make compliments to get what Hagrid wanted."

"Ahhh… Alright." He cleared his voice and took one of her hands in his for dramatic effect. "You're the most beautiful creature I've ever laid my eyes on. Your grace, your eyes, your hair that shine as brightly as a flame have captivated me. I'm your humble slave."

"Hmmm… A bit corny, but… Not bad." She said, giggling. Then she put on a smug look. "Tell me the truth. You took it from some kind of TV drama."

"Eheheheh… Yes." He scratched the back of his head while talking. Then he stopped when he realized something. "I don't understand what Hagrid wanted to get, though…" She laughed. Was he really that clueless?

"Well… He wanted to get this." But she liked him for that too.

"!" Naruto suddenly found his mouth sealed by a pair of soft lips. A pair of soft lips that decided to move a little in the kiss and get a little help by Ginny's tongue in making him blush as red as her hair. When the kiss ended, she smiled at him, hugged him and leaned her head on his shoulder again.

"And then some of this too…" She nuzzled his neck and then decided that it was a good place to fall asleep. Naruto didn't say anything and stayed in that position till she woke up.

--

It was during his fifth year that she really feared for his life for the first time. All the time she had known him, he always looked proud, strong, almost invincible. Laughing, studying, loving her, training in those strange things he did by crossing his fingers… It was during the battle at the ministry. When the Death-Eaters had managed to reach them for the prophecy. When that huge battle of spells began. Naruto was by far the most targeted out of all of them. His speed and the fact that was able to fight without a wand made him the most dangerous opponent for Voldemort's servants.

And then… It happened. He interfered with Harry and Sirius' battle. Naruto liked Sirius very much. They got along very well, almost as much as Sirius and Harry got along. That was why he did what he did. He jumped towards them and pushed them out of the way of that green ray of light. He wasn't fast enough to dodge it. She screamed his name. The battle continued around them, but she ran to him. She shook him hard, trying to wake him up. Nothing. She cried on his body… And then… After a while, it happened.

His body got covered in red twice, that day. Red from the strange light that enveloped his body. Then red by the blood of the death-eaters he slaughtered. He got dust and some green on him as well. Dust from the half destroyed ministry and green from the blood of Voldemort's body. The normal world covered it up as an earthquake. The magical world remembered it as Voldemort's second death.

--

"Can I see him?"

"Yes. He was very weak at the beginning, but he has recovered very fast. As usual."

"… As usual." She bowed slightly to madame Chips and entered the infirmary. He was in that same bed. He was looking at the ceiling, even if she knew he had realized she had walked into the room. She walked to him and sat on the bed next to his one. They didn't talk for a while. He kept on staring at the ceiling while she stared at him. "The short version is that… The energy and evil intent of the Avada Kevadra got nullified by more powerful energy and more evil intent contained in your body."

"…" He sighed and slowly turned to her. "I guess I have to spill the beans, hn?"

"… No." She got up from the bed, walked to him and hugged him. "I don't care what it was. I just know that it kept you alive. That's enough for me."

"… I suppose." He hugged her back. She didn't move from that position at all. She just climbed the bed and made herself more comfortable. And for once, Madame Chips didn't say anything. They were just too cute to disturb.

--

"… What are you going to do, now?"

"… I'm not going to leave school." Naruto sat in front of the lake where Dumbledore's funeral had taken place a couple of days before, Ginny hugging his waist and leaning his head on his right shoulder. She liked doing that, letting him play with her hair. He relaxed her. Most of their friends and the people who had been in Dumbledore's Army were talking about fighting, revenge, leaving school in order to do that… Not him. "I know they will probably going to get angry at me for saying this, but… I think they need me here."

"… Why?"

"Dumbledore never wished for Voldemort's death. What he wished for was a better world. A better future for everyone. Including the students in this school." He observed the castle. "Getting rid of his killer is something that Harry wants to do personally, and it's probably something that has to be done but… Not letting this school and his spirit die is as important." He stopped petting her. "Out of this school can make many Dumbledores but many Voldemorts as well. And it's up to the teachers to be sure that that doesn't happen."

"…" She raised her head. "You want to become a teacher?"

"No." He immediately replied. "I want to become Hogwarts' next headmaster. And the guardian of all the students that come in here."

"…" She shook her head and smiled. Yes. It was just like him. She kissed his cheek and then pushed him on his back and sat on his stomach. "Alright. Nice plans for the future, mister 'I killed Voldemort once so he's probably shit scared of coming near me till he finds a way to kill me'. Now I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do myself."

"Okay?" He said, laughing a little.

"I'm 16 years old and my boyfriend is nearly 17. I'm going to have sex with him on the grass right now. And then I'll see." She leaned down on him and kissed him deeply. He rolled his eyes.

"You're really incredible, you know that?"

"Shhh. I'm trying to get you out of your pants, right now…"

Little Red Riding Hood

"And remember, Red… Don't talk with strangers! And watch out for…"

"The wolf, I know… Mom, seriously, why the hell am I still doing this shit?! I'm 20, for fuck's sake!" Indeed she was. Long gone was the little girl who got herself and her granny in trouble to the point of being swallowed whole by a wolf. Good thing at that time forest guards were more effective than nowadays, and a passing-by hunter had rescued them. Now LRRH, Red for friends, had grown into a fine young woman. Tall, voluptuous, sexy. Her big blue eyes had gotten smaller but they were still beautiful. Her creamy skin had put Snowwhite to shame, at the last meeting of the 'FWA'. Fabled Women Association. Her silky black hair had made ravens think that they should start take better care of their feathers, if that colour could look so beautiful. Ruby lips stole the heart of more than a man. And yet… Every month it was the same thing.

Picnic basket? Checked. Food? Checked. Flowers? Checked. And she still wore the same thing. A long hood and a skirt, both of the same red colour, coupled with a pair of black polish shoes and white shorts. And finally, a white shirt under the hood. The only thing that had changed from when she was a little girl. Not that she minded. That set-up looked good on her when she was baby, it still looked good on her now that she had boobs. But it was the whole 'trek the forest-go to grandma-get eaten-get saved' thing that wasn't to her liking anymore. She was suspecting that her mother had gone senile at the age of 48. "I mean… GRANDMA IS DEAD! WE BURIED HER WRINKLY OLD ASS LAST YEAR!"

"Y-You mean… You don't want to go?" Red winched. Not that. Not again. She just couldn't bear her mother doing the 'trembling lip'. "You… You're going to make… To make mommy cry?!"

"Oh, please!" She threw up her hands in frustration.

"And do you know what happens to girls that make mommy cry?!"

"I'M GOING!" Red ran outside and slammed the door behind her. If she stayed behind and heard the story of the orc with fish-stinking feet one more time, she was probably going to gut her mom and bury her in their basement.

"Ehm… I think I'm lost… Do you know what road I must take to reach this place?"

Naruto had seen his fair share of strange and weird assignments but this was by far the weirdest and strangest. Act as a replacement for the old hunter/forest guard who had just been forced to retire. Something to do with certain relationships with an individual better known as Pedobear. But it wasn't the work per se that was strange. It was the place! How could you call a forest where animals talked and you had to ask for directions to rabbits who were in the middle of the sacred predicament of smoking crack?

"Ahh… You're da new one… No problem." The rabbit took another breath of smoke out of his carrot-shaped bong, and then pointed to the road to his right. "Follow da road over dere and you'll be dere in five minutes."

"Ehm… Excuse me for the boldness, but… Are you sure it's the right direction?" He just had to ask. He didn't know what crack did to rabbits, but he had seen what he did to humans. The rabbit just stared at him and took another breath.

"Dude… I've been smoking dis shit for years and woke up in places that I don't want to remember, but de freaking old man always went down dat road every freaking 10th of the month."

"Ah. Alright then. Thanks." Naruto bowed and began to walk in the direction. He was currently following a few notes that the old hunter had left behind for him. The first one was written in big characters. "Pass by the old grandma's house every 10th of every month at 11 AM… Mah."

--

"Mhhh… Lake, lake of my charms… Who's got the sexiest milkshake in the yard?" It was a lame, lame distortion of Grimilde's talk to the mirror fused with a now lame song, but it wasn't like there was anyone around to tell her that. And after all, she was right. She really got the sexiest 'milkshake' in the yard. So, being a little vain could be excused. She liked observing her looks in the reflection of the lake every once in a while. She sighed. A top model would cower in shame at the sight of her body… And yet she was stuck in that damn forest because of her mom. The 'gut and bury in the basement' plan was becoming more and more alluring by the second. "Hmmm… All this beauty… And not a male around…" She heard the usual rustle. She frowned. "Apart stupid, old, ugly wolves who just don't get tired of having their stomachs filled with stones." She got back on her feet and put back on her hood while the old wolf got out of the bush. The old animal, after all the stitches he got for every time they cut open his stomach, had opted for getting a zipper sewed on his body.

"Oh, little girl. Where are you…"

"Go fuck yourself, wolf. You and my mother can go and have hybrid children for all I care." She just walked past the old animal. He was about to say something else… "Yes. I know that I'm breaking the fourth wall. Go tell someone who cares. Maybe they could finally fire me!" Said that, the girl hurried out of the clearing, leaving behind the old wolf alone.

"… Eheheheheh. Joke and laugh till you can, Hoodie… COUGH! This time I WILL devour you! And not only that." The wolf had planned everything, this time. He knew that this time he would succeed. No one could stop him. He had gotten sure that the hunter was fire by hiding those Pedobear signed Lolita magazines under his bed. And he had planned everything else too. He picked out the list. "Point number one: Buy new teeth in steel. Checked. Point number two: Chew and take your time to eat her slowly. No swallowing. Point number three: Rape her before eating her… Wait a minute. Shouldn't this be point number two?"

--

"Ahhh… This sucks…"

Red hated going to her grandma's house because she always made her feel sad and without free will. Because going trough her photos, she understood who she had gotten her good looks from. And even other things. The granny, at the 'tender' age of 83, still put most pornstars to shame. And a friend of her had taught her a technique to keep her looks like she was still 20. Too bad the bitch bit the dust before teaching it to Red. So, she was currently rolling around on the bed, whining about all that she longed for and her grandma had. She KNEW the bitch had.

"I want a real life, I want a real job, I want friends, I want a house for my own, I want a car, I want to go to the movies and watch a horror, I want a cute boyfriend…" For the last part she sat on the bed and built her voice to scream out loud. "I WANT TO GET LAID!"

--

"What the hell?!" Naruto got startled by the sudden female scream that got from the road ahead, in the direction that she was heading for. "It came from… Grandma's home?" He looked at the map and then at the notes and then back at the road ahead. "Don't tell me this happens every month?! I better hurry!"

--

"Eheheh… Here I come, hoodie…"

The old wolf could feel the pleasure, the orgasm building in anticipation. He was finally getting revenge for all the years of humiliation and gutting of his intestines. He was finally going to get his filthy paws on that damn red-clad bitch, have his way with her in more than a way, then eat her slowly like you do with a finely cooked thanksgiving turkey…

"Hold it right there!" The wolf turned around. Who the hell was that youngster? Who… Oh, shit. Was that a kunai he had in his right hand? "Where's the girl, beast?!"

"G-Girl?! What girl?!"

"You can't fool me!" Naruto held the notes in his free hand. For that day there was just two notes under the 'go to grandma's house' thing. 'Gut wolf' and 'Free girl from his stomach'. His eyes went wide. "OH MY GOD! YOU ATE HER WHOLE?!"

"N-NOT YET! I MEAN, NO! I… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

--

She had tried to get some sleep when screams of agony woke her up. She grunted and got out of her bed. She slammed open the entrance's door.

"What the hell is all the fuss, you old… F… …" It was a marvellous sight. She froze on the spot. It was fantastic, in her eyes. A handsome blonde guy with his clothes ripped in various points, covered in blood, sweat and pieces of wolf, flexing his muscles in the act of ripping the remains of the beast in even smaller shreds. She felt her legs about to give away. She almost came on the spot. "… Oh my god…"

"What the… There's no girl, here… Uh?" He suddenly noticed someone standing in the doorway of the house. A young girl. He approached her in a hurry, letting what little was left of the wolf fall to the ground. He took her hands in his ones, looking at her in the eyes. "Are you okay?! You're not hurt, are you?!"

"…" Red had been playing some many scenarios of meeting a guy for the first time in her mind that that one was included. She knew exactly what to do with the handsome young guy who had just probably freed her of her chains. She made her eyes water up. "I… I was so scared!" She threw her arms around him, hugging him and crying in his chest. "He started following me and I closed the door and hid inside! He said he was going to… To… Waaah!"

"Shhh! It's okay, it's okay." He hugged her back and rubbed her back and hair. "He's not going to hurt you anymore… Well, I don't think he's going to do anything anymore…"

"W-What's your name?" She broke the embrace and took his hands in her ones, looking at him.

"Naruto Uzumaki. And you are?"

"Red…" First part of the plan completed. And she just LOVED that grin. "Well, want to come inside? My grandma died a while ago, but the house still has water and light… Maybe a shower…"

"Ehm… I suppose." Naruto removed a slightly bigger piece of wolf from his right shoulder. She smiled and slowly led him inside, closing the door behind them… And tackling him to the ground right after.

--

"And that is the story of how the story of Little Red Riding Hood became M-Rated and Naruto met a match for his stamina. End!" Jiraiya closed his book and observed his audience. The boys and most of the girls seemed to have loved it, but there was of course still someone who observed him with their jaws hanging. "Ah, right. And it's also the story of how Naruto went MIA."

"AND YOU TELL US JUST NOW?!"

"Well… He asked me to keep the secret… But since Red's calendar is coming out along with the movie, it's not like it matters anymore…"
