DAY 7- Ninjas and Wizards (Harry Potter and Naruto)

"Honestly Rose, what were you thinking? That a dragon was just going to magically come out?" said an exasperated Albus.

"Hey! This would have never happened if you and Scorpius didn't ruin the map Uncle Charlie got for me," retorted Rose.

"Don't bring me into this," said Scorpius.

"Oh please! You knew what you guys were getting into the moment I asked if you wanted to come," said Rose.

It was cliché really, the way all three of them were friends. Rose equated their relationship to that of Catherine Linton and Hareton Earnshaw in that they were able to overcome the prejudices of their parents. But Scorpius had always argued it was unfair to compare their friendships since their parents generation still lived under the heavy influence of pro-Pure-blood ideals. Albus just thought it was fate since they were one letter away from spelling arse.

However most people agreed that the fact that they were friends was mostly due to being celebrities in the wizarding world. Although Scorpius would claim infamy was a more appropriate word. No matter the reason they were still stuck in an unknown place with out a map or any sort of guide to help them reach the closest wizarding government.

"I still say this is your fault," argued Albus.

"You could have said no. I would have been fine coming by my self," said Rose.

"You think you're parents would have let us live it down?" Scorpius asked in disbelief, "I'm still wondering how you managed to convince them to let you go with just us two tagging along."

"Forget your parents, Uncle Charlie was the surprise. You're his favorite and you managed to convince him to let you go on some crazy dangerous adventure," said Albus.

Which as much as Rose tried to play off, this really was a dangerous and wild adventure. Although it might be in the influence of the new Hogwarts system kicking in. After the war there was some serious rebuilding of the British wizarding world. There were still Death Eaters roaming free and trials were being held, everything was a mess.

But one thing everyone agreed on was a need change how magic was taught. So muggle studies became a mandatory first-year class with the option of continuing again in third year. It was an introductory on muggle lifestyle but it also introduced wizarding perspectives and how muggles were viewed in different parts of wizarding history. Muggle-borns were introduced to the magical perspective of being creatures of magic while wizards got a glimpse of what life before magic was for some of their classmates.

What really changed was an introduction of more career focused classes in their third year. Students could choose a secondary house, one chosen by class choices rather than a Sorting Hat. Instead of randomly choosing electives students chose a house; Healing, General Studies, Physical, Technical, and Special. Each had classes students were required to take that were unique to their area of study.

Students still had their core classes but in addition they also took classes that were previously never offered at Hogwarts before. It was a big decision for third years to make but each year they had the option of switching to another secondary house before settling into a permanent situation their sixth year. Albus had chosen healing, which was really self-explanatory. Scorpius had chosen technical because he was focused on creating new magical machines that would help the wizarding community catch up to muggle technological advances. And Rose had chosen Physical because she had wanted to be a Beast Tamer.

In a way she was a bit like Aunt Luna, going off on trips to find magical beings. Rose just happened to go after very dangerous creatures that wouldn't hesitate to kill her.

"Maybe we should just head North? Eventually we will find some small town or something. Then we could go off from there," suggested Scorpius.

"Sounds like a plan," Rose happily agreed.

But Albus never got to join in agreement because just as he opened his mouth to give his consent a volley of needles froze the trio in their tracks.

Albus kept his eyes on the trees and soon enough a man wearing a green vest came out, poised with what looked like a knife.

Albus couldn't help laughing at the absurdity of their situation, "Well Rose we didn't find your dragon and yet you still managed to put our lives in danger."

Rose didn't get a chance to retort because soon everything was black.
