AkatsukiShadow: AkatsukiShadow is back with the next chapter of Dawn of Hogwarts. First note that I am extremely sorry for the late post, and I will post the next chapters of my other two fanfics within the next couple days. I have been busy lately in real life, and haven't had much time to write. Sincerest apologies.

Sara: Filch was only a bit scarrred for life. I am a fan of SasoDei and KakuHida as well. 3 I might put some in, but not much... depends, really.
Psionicnemesis: Yes, they are. I think Dumbles knows that pissing them off will do no good... XD Not to mention Sasori and Kakuzu aren't going to bother keeping them under control when they aren't either on a mission or at the hideout.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Naruto and Harry Potter belong to their repective authors.
Enjoy! D

Chapter 7: The first week
It had been a week and a half since the four Akatsuki members, Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Sasori, had appeared at Hogwarts because of a messed up transportation technique. The week and a half had been quite calm, considering who they really were. All four of them had decided to make the most of their unofficial vacation considering that they were no closer to finding a way home then they were the
day they came. They had also found that the mental connection they should have with Pein through the rings didn't work; so that's why their Leader hadn't reached them in an attempt to find out what happened.
Upon finding out that wizards used gold, silver, and copper as money, Kakuzu had immediately started doing small jobs for the students as long as they paid him the promised price for his services. It had to be within reason, though; Dumbledore had made him promise not to kill anyone or steal anything. He did help students in getting certain books from the restricted area, which is why the librarian had started to keep a close eye on the immortal. It also seemed that Kakuzu would mysteriously disappear whenever McGonagall, Hooch, or Sprout entered the room. It seemed that the three women had not been happy when they found out about his services, especially since an upper class slytherin had paid Kakuzu to 'prank' a lower class Hufflepuff. The Hufflepuff in question had been found the next day hanging from a tall tree in the forbidden forest by his ankles, gagged and bound.
Ever since the 'ritual incident' as Hidan called it, Filch had kept out of the high priest's way… especially when he showed no ill effects of being impaled by a pike. Filch had begun to respect him, though, since he had 'punished' a student who had thought it funny to attempt turning his precious hair pink. The student, Lee Jordan, a Gryffindor, had shuddered and said something about 'Jashin', 'prayer', and 'clean up hell' whenever anyone asked about his punishment. After that, it became well known that messing with Hidan would only bring either pain or mental torture. Safe to say that only Fred and George continued to mess with him after that. Hidan was also getting a bit irritated; the only things he could sacrifice during his rituals were things out of the forest of death, and he wanted human sacrifices dammit! Kakuzu had made him promise that he wouldn't sacrifice the students, teachers, or fellow Akatsuki, though, so there was nothing he could do unless one of those so-called 'death eaters' that Kakuzu had read about in a history book attacked.
Sasori had taken to sitting in on Potion classes, finding them fascinating. If only he had some of the interesting ingredients they used on hand when he made his puppet body; it would have been even more powerful! Snape had taken as much of a liking to the puppeteer as he could to a non-slytherin. The two both had a love for potions-or poisons, in Sasori's case- and both enjoyed scaring the students. Deidara said that Snape was almost like this dimension's Sasori; the other three had either stared at him blankly or laughed at the bomber. Deidara had accompanied Sasori a few times, mostly to annoy his Danna, and the students had become accustomed to seeing the two together; same with Kakuzu and Hidan. A few students had joked that Sasori and Deidara were like an old married couple because of their arguments; they were immediately rid of that thought when one of the two artists had found out and pulled them to the side for a few… private words.
Deidara had taken a liking to the 'golden trio' and Hagrid and was often seen in the giant's class, watching the different magic creatures in interest. Each of the other Akatsuki members had been dragged along with the bomber, and only Hidan had enjoyed learning about the creatures; unless they were venomous, then Sasori was immediately interested. Deidara had also taken a liking to Fred and George, much to his teammates' horror; he had started to teach the two how to make explosions without magic, in return the twins gave Deidara free prank material. Deidara was saving most of it for when they got back to base and wouldn't tell any of his teammates what he got; that was what worried them the most. He had also made a comment about getting a dragon; Sasori and Kakuzu were both still trying to convince him not to. Hidan wasn't; he thought it would be 'fucking awesome' to get a dragon. Deidara had also only blew up Hidan once in the week and a half; when he did, half the teachers had come running at the sound of the explosion, only to come face to face with a beheaded, burnt, and dismembered Hidan… who was still alive and cursing up a storm for Kakuzu to fix him while Deidara laughed in the background.
Thus Hogwarts learned that Hidan was, in fact, immortal. Thus a group of slytherins, who didn't believe it, decided to test the theory by sending cutting charms at him when his back was turned. That, while it did give Hidan normally fatal injuries, merely pissed off the immortal, causing him to attempt to kill the slytherins in fury. If Kakuzu hadn't intervened by beheading Hidan, Jashin would have received four new sacrifices. The slytherins had each gotten a month of detention and a letter home since they didn't seriously hurt the priest, as well as a bit of mental scarring from Hidan's language and actions that day. Later, Hidan had convinced the school that his immortality was a result of his religion, Jashinism. It was the truth, after all. He had also told them that they couldn't join his religion unless Jashin-sama himself chose them after half the slytherins demanded that he convert them.
Currently, though, all four of the Akatsuki were grouped together in full uniform within the forbidden forest, in a small clearing not too far away from where Hagrid's class was going on. It was the only clearing they could use currently, seeing as the one they had used before was completely destroyed by them. "Okay, un. We know the rules. We're paired up by partners, un. No killing, no permanent scarring, and no beheading Hidan then hiding or burying his head, un." Deidara said with a grin, standing beside Sasori, who was currently in Hiroku. "Yes, Deidara. Hidan and I sparring against you and Sasori." Kakuzu said with a nod. Beside him, Hidan stood with his scythe in his hand, a twisted grin on his face. They didn't much care about what happened to the forest, seeing as Dumbledore hadn't given them any rules regarding it. Deidara grinned, two wads of clay finding their way from his pouch to his hands. Hiroku's tail lifted up, poised threateningly above the puppet's head. Hidan raised his scythe, grabbing the rope at the end in on hand, and Kakuzu slipped into his Taijutsu stance, his tendrils loosening slightly.
The two teams stared each other down for a moment before they simultaneously jumped forward at each other, weapons at the ready. Sasori sent Hiroku's tail at Hidan, who blocked the metal tail with his scythe, scowling as the force of the attack forced him back a few inches. Kakuzu sent two tendrils at Deidara, aiming to grab his arms, but Deidara jumped up, making a hand seal as he threw a sculpture of a bird in the air. The bird grew large enough for him to ride in a cloud of smoke, coming to life as it did so .Deidara landed on the bird's back, the bird flying up and to the side in order to avoid Kakuzu's second tendril attack. Hidan jumped forward, dodging Hiroku's tail and slashed at Sasori with his scythe, intent on getting Sasori out of his puppet. Hiroku's arm blocked the scythe before the tail jabbed at Hidan again, forcing the immortal to jump to the side, pulling his scythe after him. Deidara flew up wards, over the treetops, waiting for a good moment to attack Kakuzu even as Kakuzu poised at least a dozen tendrils in the air around him, waving threateningly.
Sasori, realizing what his partner was doing, decided to help with the attack. He sent Hiroku's tail at Kakuzu, keeping Hidan busy with needles covered in a deadly, painful poison. Not even Hidan wanted to get hit with those. "Jashin curse you..." Hidan muttered, quickly dodging the attack, ending up even further away from his partner then he had been originally. Kakuzu grabbed the tail with his tendrils, distracted from Deidara for a few moments. That was all Deidara needed. Clay spiders rained down upon Kakuzu as Deidara announced "Art is a blast, un! Katsu!"The clay bombs exploded around Kakuzu, giving him a few minor burns as he jumped away from the exploding weapons. Hidan jumped up, throwing his scythe at Deidara's bird, successfully hitting it in the wing and forcing it to the ground. Deidara jumped off, dodging the scythe as it returned to its wielder. Hidan rushed at Deidara, scythe raised as Deidara fought off one of Kakuzu's tendrils. He gasped in shock as Sasori sent Hiroku's tail at him, successfully hitting him in the back, creating a long, bloody gash. Kakuzu growled, a few tendrils grabbing Hiroku's tail and lifting it up, throwing it at a high velocity at a large tree. Sasori, to avoid being 'injured', jumped from his puppet and landed on the ground, dodging another tendril. Deidara sent a clay bird bomb at Kakuzu, distracting the immortal so Sasori could jump away to temporary safety. Hidan, ignoring the pain in his back, jumped at Deidara, managing to get a small cut on Deidara's arm with his scythe. Deidara cursed, even as Hidan drew the Jashin
symbol around him with his own blood. Kakuzu jumped up, preventing Sasori from forcing the priest out of his symbol. Deidara knew what would happen if he attacked, watching as Hidan's skin turned black, with white markings forming an image on his skin that looked like his skeletal structure. Sasori quickly summoned two puppets, on flying towards Kakuzu to keep him busy and the other rushing in to attempt to get Hidan from his symbol. The puppeteer expertly controlled both puppets as he jumped to his partner's side, muttering a 'dumb brat' as he did so. Deidara scowled at his Danna's comment, even as Kakuzu managed to subdue Sasori's puppet, though the immortal had lost his arm; literally.
"What's goin' on 'ere?" All four Akatsuki members seemed to freeze when the familiar voice of Hagrid reached them, as well as the excited chatter of his students. "Hagrid, un! What are you and your students doing here, un?" Deidara asked innocently, noting that he had been teaching Gryffindors and Slytherins today. "We see' a large bird fall 'round 'ere som'where." Hagrid said before spotting the large bird-shaped mound of clay behind Deidara. "Well… un… art is a bang?" Deidara weakly said with a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his head. Sasori's three puppets flew towards Sasori, stopping behind him, and Hidan grudgingly dropped his scythe. Kakuzu's tendrils, which none of the students had ever seen before, returned to his body. How had the four NOT noticed the large group of small chakra signatures heading towards them? They had no idea.
"Muggles? You are definitely not muggles! Two of you aren't even human!" A slytherin exclaimed, even most of the Gryffindors agreeing with him. "We can explain." Sasori said stoically as he sealed his puppets back into their scroll. "…Kakuzu can, at least." The puppeteer added, gaining a glare from said man. Just because he was good at things like this doesn't mean that he wanted to explain about them.
"Well… first off, we are all, in fact, human. No matter what you may think. Hidan's appearance change comes from a ritual for his religion that is used during fights. My appearance…. Well, what would you look like at two hundred years old? I'm made of younger body parts of my defeated opponents. They destroy one part of my body, they die, and I take theirs as a replacement. Deidara's bloodline, which is extinct minus him, has mouths on their hands and chests that mold their very life energy into clay to create powerful living bombs that they can control. Sasori is just a puppeteer. He builds puppets and makes poison, using them to fight using chakra strings. Chakra is the basic energy inside all living things that keeps us alive -humans, animals, and plants alike- which can be used so normal people can use techniques such as this. And lastly… we aren't what you would call muggles. We aren't wizards, either. We're ninja." Kakuzu informed as his arm returned to him, his tendrils sewing it back on. "As for the reason we were fighting… we were sparing together in order to train in our techniques and work on our teamwork." Kakuzu added, even as a few of the slytherins snorted at the word 'ninja'.
"Please. There's no such thing as Ninja." Draco Malfoy, who was one of the slytherins who disliked the four missing Nin, scoffed. Immediately, he found himself on the ground, Deidara pressing a foot down on his chest with a clay spider in hand. "You were saying, un?" Deidara asked the frightened slytherin, unable to find any pity towards the boy within himself. The entire group of wizards, Hagrid and the golden trio, were too shocked to see the young bomber move faster than they could see to do anything. Malfoy's face held fear for his life and fear of the blonde atop him. "We are shinobi, un, and proud to be so, un!" Deidara exclaimed, even as he was pulled off of Malfoy by an exasperated Sasori. "Really, brat, who taught you to lose your cool like that?" Sasori asked; was this really what they were teaching Iwa nin these days? Deidara looked down, muttering a 'sorry, Master Sasori, un' as he did so.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We will most likely not answer truthfully." Kakuzu said as all four of the ninja made a single hand seal at once, disappearing in a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the students were shocked to see no one there.
The golden trio swore then and there that they would find out about the ninja. Little did they know that almost all of the present students had sworn the same thing.
Looks like the ninjas were going to go through hell for a while with all the students wanting to pry into their life.
