Ok....so next chapter....
Hi guys!
Thanks to my lovely reviewer !!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
I don't own Harry Potter or Naruto. I'm not rich. I'm still in school hoping to get a semi-good job and try to not starve to death.
But that doesn't matter...now does it?

'silent communication'
Sasuke was officially going to grow very bored in the Room of Requirement, very quickly.
Sure...the room could change to do whatever he wanted it to, meaning there was a nice comfy couch, and he and Lexi were playing a game of wizards chess. Yeah, Winky had brought them a hell of a lot of food, while under the orders to tell no one what they were up to. And admittedly, the fact that Lexi was pretty damn good at her work meant that the majority of the shit he needed to have done, was done for once....
but still...they were sitting in the room, and while Lexi was fun, it was still boring to sit there, and watch Naruto and Shino speak to each other quietly, to quietly to hear....
while writing in a book.
It was apparently a group effort, because more often that not, Naruto would try to write something, only to have Shino supposedly glare at him to stop him (Though Sasuke couldn't tell, damn glasses), and before Shino wrote anything, he'd talk it over with Naruto (he thought that is, Shino's lower face was covered by a dark scarf, so who knew?)
Overall, Sasuke knew it'd get boring fast, and that he wanted information. Now
Of course, it didn't help that every time he looked at Naruto for to long, his head would begin to throb. That the pain in his skull that lingered just behind his eyes was becoming far to constant, to persistent, and more painful with every passing hour. But he refused to go see Madam Pomfrey, he didn't like admitting weakness, didn't trust that all the potions and spells were what she said they were. No, it was better to be overly cautious, who knew what people did behind her back anyways...someone could find a way to tamper with things.
A cough broke him out of his thoughts, as Lexi waited for his next move. A book was in her hands, and as she read she mouthed what he could only assume were the words. It was a confusing habit, but she insisted it let her remember the book more completely, and really now, if it worked, who could blame her? The fact she had time to read a book with all the essays and books they were assigned to read, anything to help remember it was probably a good idea.
Finally, three games of chess, a game of exploding snap and one match of gobstones later, the two were finally done, the look on Naruto's face somewhere between slightly exhausted, and supressed anticipation, he didn't bother looking to Shino, doubting he could get any idea of what the boy thought, even if he wasn't wearing all that damn shit on his head.
Naruto grinned, plopping on the suddenly extended couch next to Sasuke. "What were you guys playing?"
"Gobstones"
"What-stones?"
"Gobstones. Kinda like...marbles. Only better. If you lose a point the marbles...I guess you could say they spit...this really nasty smelling liquid at you. Great motivation to win." Sasuke replied, chuckling
"But you guys...are clean....and smell....pretty normal."
"The wonder of scourgify."
"Scourgify?"
Naruto was far beyond clueless. He...or rather...they had some work to do, Sasuke mused, answering the question "A cleaning spell....you two really need to start learning about this stuff...or you'll get way to much attention...and be defenseless."
Naruto looked shocked, "I don't do defenseless, Teme."
"You will here. If you don't know how to use magic....you'll be fucked over pretty damn fast."
"That's a load of crap! We know how to take care of ourselves!"
"Then why did I find you the way I did?" Sasuke replied, voice cold, "You'll learn magic, or you'll regret it. Any methods of muggle dueling won't do anything when you're faced with something like Sectumsempra or Confringo [1]. Unless of course you like the thought of bleeding to death...or something equally as pleasant."
Naruto opened his mouth to respond, but was stopped by Shino. "I agree, it would be a good thing to learn." He said quietly, "But will you be able to teach us?"
Sasuke scoffed, Gryffindor arogance showing through, "Of course. Why wouldn't we?"
"We?" Lexi asked, speaking for the first time.
"Well yeah. He's in your house. Besides....someone has to know all that technical stuff....I just know I move my wand like this, say some words and magic happens. I hope you know more than that..." The girl nodded, "Good. Then we need to start lessons. I hope no one has plans for a late night date?" Receiving no answer, Sasuke grinned, slightly sadistic, "Then let the lessons begin."
Three hours later, Naruto groaned loudly, "These books are boring!!! Why the heck do we even have to read these? We don't need to know the theories or anything behind magic! Lets just start doing it!"
"And then you'll end up putting to much force behind a spell, and instead of levitating a feather you'll put the couch through the roof." Lexi replied quietly, but sternly "Theory only lasts so long. You'll get to the rest of it eventually."
Naruto sighed, "But I'm not a book person! I get so much more out of just doing it! Practice is how you learn stuff, not reading about it!"
"Shut up and read, Naruto." Shino said, or rather ordered. He'd worked through the books much faster than Naruto, in true Ravenclaw style, and was now picking through them for bits of information, appearing to look for something, though he asked no questions.
Sasuke chuckled, "I say we let him do something. Something simple, that he can't do that much damage with. I say we give him a feather and make him levitate it. See what happens then."
"You're fixing anything he breaks." Lexi responed.
Nodding, Sasuke chuckled, "Okay, Naruto. Wand out. Here's what you're going to do, its really simple for you, just a swish-and-flick movement. While you do that, you say 'Wingardium Leviosa'. Just like that. The pronunciation, the movement. Everything has to be precise. Okay? It's going to go....like this." A quick demonstration later, the spell spoken aloud for Naruto's sake, Sasuke turned to the blond. "Well...you ready to try?"
Naruto nodded, blue eyes determined. "Right! Let's see here..." He looked to his feather. "Wingardium Leviosa!" Much to the boys happiness, his feather floated up quickly, hitting the ceiling almost instantly. However, with it, several books, a few tables and the chair Lexi had been sitting on and forced to jump off of had hit the ceiling as well, the tables and chair breaking upon impact.
Naruto grinned, nervously, "Oops?"
