Disclaimer: Well, sadly I do not own Naruto or Harry Potter. These wonderful creations belong to some fabulous authors...I have no intention of ever attempting to make any money off of this.

Authoress' Notes: Yay. New chapter! Finally is what I'm sure y'all who haven't abandoned me are thinking. I know I said one month or something like that anyways...and at the time I meant it...but things happen...exams come up, people go on summer vacation out of the country for a month and a half. And now it's been like what??? Half a year? Close to there? Sorry is all I can say to those of you who are still with me despite my absolutely awful updating habits. So this time I won't make any promises...but I will try very very hard to get new chapters up faster. Just send me messages reminding me to do so if I'm not...cause that's what got me going again. The messages and reviews from everyone telling me to update. It was just such a reminder and so there that I actually manage to sit down in front of my computer after being on vacation in Europe and just write.

Now...I do have to say that I absolutely hate this chapter though. I've gone over it...but there's simply nothing I want to change...and despite that I still hate this chapter with a passion. It's boring. I wrote it horrendously and I can't think of a way to make it better. And it seems so...blah. I'm not all too proud of it...and if you feel the same way...feel free to tell me so. But I am going to post it. Maybe someday I will come back and rewrite it so I enjoy it more. And for all I know...y'all might not find it as horrible as I do. But we won't know will we until you read the chapter. Hopefully the next one will be so much better (and will come out much quicker).

Well, cookies for all of you who reviewed last time...maybe a few more people will this time? Anyways I know in my last chapter I wrote that it was the first time that the train had stopped...a lovely reviewer (Madness Lover) however reminded me of the time the train stopped in Harry's third year to let the Dementors on. I guess I should have been a bit clearer...what I meant for Harry, Hermione, and Ron to be thinking about was that it was the first time the train had up and stopped for no reason.Also, the reason those three think of the new students when discussing the event is because they have already been thrust into their life before the school year's even started. Harry even got a very little demonstration of their capabilities on the train. They're in awe of them...weirded out by them...and wondering why the heck there are even foreign exchange students at Hogwarts...So anyways, I believe that is all I have to say so...Oh...nope. In response to sillymail's review...Oops...I made a BIG mistake...I have a list with important details like that written down...except I thought I was being smart and saving time by not checking it...my memory's not all that great apparently. So for all of those who actually read the Author's Notes...yes I know Sasuke's jutsu is called...Katon: Goyaku no jutsu. I just didn't write that cause I didn't bother checking to see if it was actually right. Boy do I feel stupid now. Yeah really stupid. Now, however I will do that. I made a list...I might as well use it.

One more quick note. This is just a reminder that recent events in the manga will not change the course this story is heading. Seeing as how I started it ages ago before much happened in the manga I can not really change the story to suit the manga...as many of you probably realize...what with recent...shall I say it...deaths. So I guess my story is sort of AU...I think...is that the term I'm looking for???

Now. Finally. We're live in 3...2...1...ACTION!


Harry, Hermione, and Ron took their usual seats at the Gryffindor table and quickly started catching up with friends and talking about their Summer vacations.

"Oi Harry!" Neville called.

"Hey Neville! How was your Summer?" Harry asked.

"Too long," the boy groaned, "my gran spent the entire vacation telling me how amazing "that Harry Potter" is and asking why I couldn't be more like him. She'd do anything to have you as a grandson." Neville laughed.

Harry laughed as well. "Well you were there too Neville. You're telling me your grandmother didn't go on about that?"

"Oh she did!" Neville exclaimed. "Told everyone who would listen. She even got me a new wand and said that she was so proud of me."

"That's really great Nev-" Harry was suddenly interrupted by Dumbledore's voice as it echoed across the Great Hall. The first years had marched in and lined up in front of the staff table while everyone was still talking and as Harry's eyes traveled to the front of the hall, his gaze went straight to a little boy who was as wet as if he had just fallen into the lake and who was shivering...either from being cold or from nerves.

"Students. Young and old. I know that you are all anxious to get on with the feast so let's get straight to the sorting shall we? Mr. Filch the Sorting Hat."

Harry watched as Mr. Filch approached the front and set the hat and its stool down gingerly in front of the row of first year students and then scurried back to his place by a back exit. The second the Great Hall was in complete silence, a rip in the Sorting Hat opened up and everyone could hear it clearing its throat. And then the song.

The students applauded at the end as was custom, however whispers could be heard throughout the Hall as the students made comments about the Hat's strange song. It usually only described the traits that were sought after by each of the houses, however this year the hat had given a warning and advice to the Hogwarts population. Voldemort was rising in power. The houses would have to stand by each other and stay strong.

"How many times do you reckon the hat's done that?" Ron asked his friends.

"Deviating a bit from the norm isn't it?" Harry added.

"I think the hat's been know to warn the school when it feels that the students are in danger," Hermione stated. "I believe I read it in Hogwarts; A History."

"She's right you know," Nearly Headless Nick, the Gryffindor house ghost stated as he floated past where the friends sat. "Once in..." he trailed off as Professor McGonagall asked for silence.

"Quiet everyone!" she yelled. When the muttering in the hall subsided, Professor McGonagall stared at each of the house tables, a dirty look on her face until she was sure that all whispering had ceased. "That's better," she said when she had the silence she wanted from the Great Hall. She unrolled a long sheet of parchment and glanced down at it, clearing her throat.

"Arak, Jason."

The little boy who had been shaking, and who still looked as if he had braved the storm outside for hours instead of minutes, took a few steps toward the stool and then stopped. He turned back to face the rest of the first years and another young boy gave him an encouraging smile. Jason Arak put on a brave face and walked towards the stool. McGonagall lifted the hat and placed it on its head. A surprised look fell onto his face as the hat undoubtedly spoke to him. A few seconds passed and then the rip near the brim opened up again.

"Gryffindor."

Harry clapped loudly along with the rest of his housemates and congratulated the boy as he walked past. The rest of the sorting proceeded in the same way and whenever a student was sorted into Gryffindor, Harry clapped loudly and enthusiastically along with his friends. The line of first years students slowly thinned and finally 'Zeller, Rose' was sorted into Hufflepuff.

The students stared eagerly at the front now. Waiting for Dumbledore to tell them all to "tuck in". However he did not stand up and Professor McGonagall did not remove the stool. Instead she laid the large roll of parchment in her hands on the table behind her and reached for a much smaller one.

"Where are the foreign exchange students?" Harry whispered to Ron. "They didn't come out for the sorting with the first years."

"I don't know," he answered. "Maybe they're not getting sorted after all."

In the brief pause between the two scrolls, whispers had erupted across the Great Hall.

"I asked for silence did I not," Professor McGonagall spoke, her voice carrying across the room. There was immediate silence in the Great Hall. "Thank you."

Then, a whine was heard as the doors from which the first years had come began to open slowly once more. The lights in the Great Hall dimmed and Professor McGonagall glanced down at her list again. "Ah yes," began Dumbledore who suddenly appeared next to a very startled McGonagall, "I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a large group of transfer students from Japan who will be attending Hogwarts this year and who will also be sorted into houses on this occasion. The rest of the staff and myself ask that you help them out if need be and that you respect their culture and their methods of magic."

At this statement a buzz of conversation once again graced the hall.

"What does he mean by "their methods of magic"?" Hermione asked the Gryffindors seated around her.

Everyone shrugged and glanced back up at McGonagall and Dumbledore, both of whom were waiting patiently this time for the din in the hall to die down with smiles on their faces. "I think it is high time we present to you the students of The Konoha School of Magic and Chakra," Dumbledore announced. "Professor McGonagall, if you would continue now with the sorting."

"Of course," she replied. She then lifted the list up high as a reminder to everyone to remain silent and looked at the first group of names upon it.

"Hyuga, Neji.

Rock, Lee.

TenTen."

The three shinobi stepped out of the shadows of the door, but the Hogwarts students and staff only managed to catch a glimpse of them before they disappeared.

"Where'd they go?" Dean asked completely dumbfounded.

"Look up!" was the excited response he got from a third year sitting to his right. Everyone looked up and what they saw was amazing, even in the wizarding world. TenTen was up in the air, near the ceiling of the hall, spinning around like some kind of top with two scrolls in her hands. Suddenly, she opened them and started grabbing weapons, that were seemingly popping out of thin air, and throwing them down to the ground aiming at...Neji? Neji was dodging each and every single weapon with such impossible grace. He was even managing to avoid the ones being thrown at his back where he couldn't possibly see them. All of a sudden the rain of weapons stopped and TenTen landed gracefully upon the ground.

However no one really noticed her landing as the second the weapons had stopped raining down Lee had launched himself from the sides at Neji, moving with such speed that it was nearly impossible to keep track of him. The two boys then started sparring, bending in unimaginable ways to avoid each others blows. A whistle sounded and the boys fight immediately ceased. They hadn't even broken a sweat. They went to stand with their teammate.

Before the students could so much as say a single word about the presentation they had just seen however, McGonagall went straight to the next group of names on her list.

"Aburame, Shino.

Hyuga, Hinata.

Inuzuka, Kiba."

This time however, the three members did not disappear immediately after leaving the dark safety of the shadows. They walked deliberately and slowly to the middle of the space left for them between the staff table and the students' tables. When the three were all standing in place a dull buzzing could be heard. The students glanced at each other in curiosity, but then suddenly a dense cloud formed underneath Shino and the students realized the buzzing was coming from it. The cloud flew up in the air, the buzzing coming from it getting louder and louder and then it disappeared along with its rider.

Then a bark was heard and an enormous dog ran out to the center of the floor where Kiba jumped on him. A moment later, the dog was no longer there and all anyone could see was two Kibas. Then they too disppeared leaving Hinata standing all by herself. She muttered a word under her breath and to those sitting nearest to her, her eyes appeared whiter than before. Suddenly, three knives came flying at her from different directions, one in her technical line of sight, two at her back. She leapt and grabbed the first one from mid air and then whipped around and blocked the other two, that she should not possibly have seen coming, out of the air.

Her teammates appeared again, Shino no longer on his cloud, and Kiba and Akamaru both looking as they should. Then they moved out of the way and went to stand with Gai's team.

McGonagall, as amazed as everyone else, did not skip a beat.

"Yamanaka, Ino.

Nara, Shikamaru.

Akimichi, Chouji."

What appeared to be an enormous ball rolled out from the door frame, creating an enormous wind that raged through the whole hall. The ball however did not continue on a straight path. It rolled forward, then backward. Bounced up, then made a wide circle. All while maintaining a constant rotation speed. All eyes were on the giant ball so no one noticed Shikamaru who walked silently into the hall from one side and Ino who walked in from the other side. All of a sudden, the rotating ball stopped and in a puff of smoke, Chouji appeared where it had been.

Then Shikamaru, now the center of everyone's attention made some shapes with his hands and everyone watched as a dark shadow stretched across the floor and joined itself with Ino's. Shikamaru then proceeded to lift his hands in the air...which Ino also did. He then put them down and lifted one leg...which Ino also did. He then proceeded to mess up his hair, which Ino did at the exact same time...though she did shriek something along the lines of inconsiderate jerk while doing so. The shadow then receded and Ino was free again. She then however started to make her own hand motions while Shikamaru stood perfectly still in front of her.

All of a sudden she slumped over, and would have hit her head on the floor had Chouji not caught her. There was an immediate hint of worry for Ino which was lost quickly as all were distracted by Shikamaru who then began to do pirouettes, the cancan, and the hokey pokey...which drew many giggles from the female population of Hogwarts. Then he sort of shivered and Ino stood up again and took a bow and let her voice carry across the hall. "Shikamaru's amazing dancing skills courtesy of Ino Yamanaka!" To which the girls of Hogwarts responded to with some whistling and clapping. The three man team walked to join the others, Shikamaru turning a bit red, Ino fixing her hair, and Chouji pulling out a bag of chips.

Though quite amused by the clownish, though impressive display, McGonagall continued with her task.

"Gaara.

Kankurou.

Temari."

Three people emerged from the shadows of the doorway and walked to the middle of the room. Then, sand flew from the gourd on Gaara's back and shot him up high in the air, where he hovered on his own homemade cloud. Kankurou then whipped the thing on his back to the ground and the bandages immediately fell from it as a huge...thing?...rose from the bundle. It looked almost like a puppet. Except for its size, most of the students of Hogwarts would have claimed that's exactly what it was. It then however seemed to charge at Temari, flying at her so quickly that it seemed she would not be able to dodge the puppet. And she did not even attempt to do so. Instead she pulled the fan from her back, whipped it open, and let a huge gust of wind rock the hall and knock the thing charging at her back at her brother.

But it never hit him. Gaara's sand had formed the shape of a hand and had grabbed a hold of the puppet inches from his brother's face. The sand then flew back into a descending Gaara's gourd which he corked, once the sand that had formed his cloud had also flown into it. The three then turned and walked to join everyone else.

McGonagall was trying to fix her own hair which Temari's wind had messed up when she realized it was time for her to call the last set of names.

"Haruno, Sakura.

Uchiha, Sasuke.

Uzumaki, Naruto."

Everyone waited for the last three to enter. But after a good ten seconds passed, there was still not a single new presence in the hall. At least that's what all the students thought. All of a sudden, Sakura poofed into the middle of the room her arms spread straight out at shoulder height. Then another two clouds were seen as her fellow exchange students, Sasuke and Naruto appeared. One standing on each of her arms. She stood there however, motionless, her arms as straight as they had been when no one was standing on them. The most intimidating part however, was that it seemed to require her absolutely no effort to maintain that pose. The boys jumped down and she walked backwards a bit to get out of their way.

Then Naruto's hands were moving...and all of a sudden there were ten of him. Sasuke however didn't waste a moment. As the nine fake Naruto's charged him, he made some hand movements of his own and then he was breathing fire onto the Naruto clones which disappeared in smoke. Still moving quickly, both made more hand signs and then charged at each other, bright balls glowing in their palms. The power of those orbs could be heard and felt by all the students. The collision of them was something that everyone was dreading as they knew by some instinct that the collision could not be something good.

But the collision never came. Sakura had run in between the two boys and had grabbed their wrists before the balls could be forced to touch one another. Holding onto their wrists tightly, she pulled the two boys with such force that they went flying through the air and would have surely dented the walls of the Great Hall had they not both nullified the power of the orbs that had lain in the palms of their hands and used their chakra to soften and control their landings. They ran gracefully down the walls to meet Sakura in the middle of the floor. As they then walked towards their companions, everyone thinking they were done, they turned back to face the hall and did some weird hand things in unity. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were no longer who the students saw standing in front of them. What they saw...no...who they saw were McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Hagrid. Everyone looked dumbfounded for a minute as they looked from the existing Dumbledore, Hagrid, and McGonagall to their replicas. Then as quickly as the three had changed, they changed back. A second of dumbfounded silence passed.

And then the Great Hall burst into applause.

Never had Hogwarts seen such a display. Not even during the Triwizard Tournament had the shows been so brilliant and odd. Harry stared at the new students with such awe. The little demonstration he had been provided on the Hogwarts Express had been nothing. Absolutely nothing compared to what he had just seen. This power that they had. It was so...unique, so...dangerous, so...weird.

"Bloody hell."

Harry turned to look at who had spoken only to see that it was his best friend Ron.

"That was...I don't even know what to say. That beats...anything I've ever seen before. How the hell did they do all of that? They didn't even have wands!" Ron exclaimed.

"Is this why you were asking about wandless magic Harry?" Hermione asked with a suspicious look on her face.

"Sort of," Harry replied as he grinned sheepishly.

"Silence...Silence please...Oh would you all just shut up?" McGonagall's voice carried throughout the entire hall. Everyone froze. "Thank you again. Now, we are almost done here so please be patient." She glanced at the scroll in her hands and read the first name.

"Aburame, Shino."

Shino walked up to the sorting hat. Wishing his family name started with any other letter than 'a'...he so hated how he had to go through this first. He went to sit down on the stool, and Professor McGonagall placed the hat on his head. He all but jumped when it spoke to him.

"Hmmm...where to put someone like you? You are most definitely an intelligent fellow, and strategy is one of your stronger points...I say...RAVENCLAW!"

Shino stared at the hat as it was taken off his head with a look that no one could possibly comprehend...and then proceeded to walk to the table where the Ravenclaws were applauding happily to be the first house with one of the new additions.

"Akimichi, Chouji."

As McGonagall placed the hat on Chouji's head he was still munching on his chips. "I see you value your friendship with Shikamaru highly. It is what gives you your strength. You'd be best suited then, where I'm sure he will end up...RAVENCLAW!"

The Ravenclaw table exploded into applause as Chouji walked over to take a seat next to Shino. McGonagall was already reading the next name.

"Gaara."

As the hat was placed on Gaara's head it smiled. "I know exactly who you are. And though I don't think the house you wish to be placed in suits you completely, I understand that is where you need to be so...SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherin's clapped for the newcomer and Draco clapped the most enthusiastically as he approached Gaara...only to be completely ignored when he attempted to welcome him.

"Haruno, Sakura."

Sakura glanced back at her friends, and then at the hat with a nervous look in her eyes before she climbed the steps and sat herself down on the stool and gripped the edge of it. As the hat was placed on her head however, her grip relaxed.

"Truly I am nothing to be afraid of Sakura," the hat said to her. "There we go now, that's so much better. Now as for where to put you. Your smarts are incredible, but your bravery and loyalty as demonstrated in recent months seem to have outshone your intelligence. So the perfect place to put you would be...GRYFFINDOR!"

Sakura jumped gleefully from her seat and walked over to the Gryffindor table where she was greeted by thunderous applause and an enormous hug from Hermione.

"Hyuga, Hinata."

She approached the stool so slowly and with a furious blush building on her cheeks. As the hat was placed on her head and as she heard its voice for the first time, she let out a little shriek.

"Hinata. Now now. I may be something completely unnatural considering where you come from, but I assure you I mean no harm. Hinata you are truly a brave girl, but you let your timidness get the better of you. What you need is encouragement. A little help to bring out your courage. So the perfect house for you would then be...GRYFFINDOR!"

Sakura cheered just as loudly as the rest of the Gryffindors as she was joined by her friend Hinata, who Hermione received just as warmly as Sakura.

"Hyuga, Neji."

Neji, always cool and always collected approached the hat with caution and a slight hint of fear in his eyes. Objects should not talk he told himself in his head over and over again. As the Sorting Hat was placed atop his skull Neji flinched upon the hearing of the hat's voice.

"Your intelligence and dedication are your strong points. As well as your courage and loyalty. But I think you're best suited for...RAVENCLAW!"

As another shinobi joined the Ravenclaw table, McGonagall read out the next name.

"Inuzuka, Kiba."

Kiba bounded up the steps to the stool with Akamaru close on his heels. And practically pulled the hat out of McGonnagall's hands in his eagerness to put it on. But on his head it didn't remain very long.

"You are so like Fred and George Weasley. There is truly only one place for you...GRYFFINDOR!"

Kiba leapt down from the raised platform and nearly sprinted to the Gryffindor table with Akamaru following behind. When he got to his seat, he stood upon it and took a bow which was greeted with even more applause.

"Kankurou."

The hat barely touched his head. "With your brother? Alright...SLYTHERIN!"

The Slytherins cheered, but Kankurou ignored them and simply went to take a place next to his brother. McGonagall continued

"Nara, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru heaved a sigh. "This is troublesome," he muttered as he neared the stool and sat down at a slothlike pace.

"Your lazy attitude can not fool me," the Sorting Hat said to Shikamaru. "Your genius is obvious. You're best suited to be with your friend in...RAVENCLAW!"

McGonagall looked on and sighed as Shikamaru made his way to the Ravenclaw table with the look of utmost boredom on his face. This was the kind of attitude that she would expect of a troublemaker...how very wrong she was in her assumption. One thing she did not however notice in her observations of Mr. Nara was the small smile that crept onto his face when he saw his best friend Chouji clapping enthusiastically along with the other Ravenclaws.

Then...

"Rock, Lee."

Lee strode to the hat with insane purpose glinting in his eyes and sat down on the stool with a flourish and a huge thumbs up and smile. His fellow shinobi groaned at the mini display while his new classmates stared at him with identical expressions of confusion painted on their faces.

"You're brave and true and have worked your way through many trials in your short lifetime. The only place I can envision you being comfortable in would be...GRYFFINDOR!"

Lee basically pranced his way over to the Gryffindor table striking a "nice guy" pose before sitting down among his peers. McGonagall looked at him trying to...comprehend what could possibly going on his head while Dumbledore stared at Lee with such profound admiration in his twinkling eyes. A girl seated near Lee shifted slightly away from him as the next name was called.

"Temari."

The hat was on her head for no longer than a split second. Enough to hear her think, "Mess up my hair and I'll kill you."

"SLYTHERIN!"

Next on McGonagall's list was, "TenTen."

TenTen fidgeted nervously as the hat was placed on her head. "Your way with weapons is impressive as is how easily you intake all the information you possibly can about each and every one. I hope that you apply that ability here as well. You'll learn the most in...RAVENCLAW!"

"Uzumaki, Naruto."

Naruto stared at the Sorting Hat as he walked up the stairs and approached the stool. He was still staring at it as it was lowered onto his head. He expected to feel different the moment it touched him but he felt nothing. He heard nothing. What was going on. Nothing was happening...absolutely nothing. Seconds passed and still, Naruto sat there with the Sorting Hat upon his head waiting. Waiting for something...for anything.

"Well Naruto. You have a complex mind and a complex character."

"Wh-what? Who's saying that? Get out of my head!" he thought.

"It is I, the hat who sits upon your head, who speaks to you Naruto. I have seen your mind. I have seen your intense bravery. A bravery that exists to the point of foolishness. Your love and value for your friends is one that is so strong. It is what keeps you oriented on your path. It is what keeps you alive. It is what keeps you human. Your will to protect all of those close to you at any cost is your defining characteristic Naruto. I see no other place for you here other than...GRYFFINDOR!"

Naruto jumped as the hat screamed the last word aloud. He was still a little shaken from hearing the strange voice in his head but he was still nonetheless eager to race to sit with his friends at the Gryffindor table.

"Uchiha, Sasuke."

Sasuke was thoroughly unimpressed by the talking hat. At least he was acting like it anyways. As the hat was placed upon his head for sorting Sasuke did not even react when he heard the voice inside his head.

"Ah. So revenge is your goal in life. Still, even though you finally recognize the importance of your teammates friendship and even though you finally consciously return it. You seem the type that would do well in Slytherin...however seeing as how both your teammates have been sorted there, and since I believe you could still learn more from being in their presence I think the place for you is also...GRYFFINDOR!"

Sasuke strolled to the Gryffindor table, hands in his pockets with a bored look on his face. Seeing Naruto and Sakura there with a seat for him between them made the corners of his lips twitch up into a small smile which did not go unnoticed by his friends. He sat down in between them and allowed the smile to remain there on his face for a little while longer. Maybe the hat was right. The best place for him now was with his friends.

"Finally ladies and gentleman,"McGonagall began, "Yamanaka, Ino."

Ino walked up to the stool and smiled as the hat was placed on her head.

"Hmm...you pride yourself on your outer appearance...but that is not what is truly important to you. Your friends are what matter most to you despite what others may believe. And your bravery and determination are things that others don't always see in you. Let them get to know that side of you...GRYFFINDOR!"

Ino curtsied as she stood and then, remembering the Sorting Hat's words, she abruptly straightened and walked over to the Gryffindor table with purpose burning in her eyes and then sat in a seat across from Sakura and next to Hinata. The Sorting Hat was placed back on the stool and Filch carried it from the hall as Dumbledore once again stood.

"I'd love to say "tuck in" but," he began as the students groaned, "there is one more thing I must do. We have a new teacher here with us at Hogwarts this year and a few special guests who will be spending the following semester with us. Please welcome Professor Hatake who shall be teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year." The students applauded politely for the strange Japanese man who did not even look up from the book in his hands as Dumbledore announced his name. The applause abruptly stopped when Dumbledore began speaking again. "Please also welcome Miss Kurenai Yuhi, Mister Asuma Sarutobi, and Mister Gai who will also all be joining us for the year, as well as Miss Tsunade who shall be a frequent visitor to Hogwarts throughout the following semester." The students applauded politely again. "Alright I know you're all anxious to begin the feast so with one last reminder to please respect these guests of Hogwarts...tuck in!"

Suddenly food appeared on the table before the students of Hogwarts. Excited chatter once again broke out as students spooned spectacular dishes onto their plates and began to eat after a long and interesting, to say the very least, sorting ceremony.


Authoress' Notes: Umm so that was the sort of long awaited chapter 7. Having read it again I don't find it so utterly horrible. But I don't believe it'll ever win any awards. Anyways, next time look forward to the feast- what's on the menu?, the conversations- how weird can they get?, and the reactions to these new strange students from Japan. Plus I think we'll be getting a good look at the Gryffindor boys dorm...and maybe the girls! Oh and who can forget...Pansi Parkinson meets Temari. How fun! Hopefully this will all be coming to a fanfiction site near you soon. But don't count on the next week or two...I still have summer reading I need to do before school starts. Once I finish that I'll try to dedicate some time to this. If it makes y'all feel any better...I've already started chapter 8!!! No? Alright then! I'll just try to update faster to win your confidence back again! And sorry if I made any screwups with the names, housenames, or jutsus in this chapter...I believe I caught all the mistakes I made...I hope. Thanks to all who read this!
