An: Hello everyone, welcome to chapter 9 of Hogwarts Overkill. Thanks to all those who Read, Review, Follow and Favorite this story, it's nice to know that you enjoy my story. If you feel like it, please leave a review, reviews help inspire me and make me want to write a chapter sooner.
Now I'm not sure how many of you have noticed, but I haven't updated in the past few days. I haven't updated because it was getting too difficult to write two thousand words a day, edit it and then publish it, so I will now be updating every second to third day. Enough of my bantering, onto the show.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter... I know, it sucks that I don't own them, but I do own my own book... That I'm still trying to get published.
Chapter 9: First day at Hogwarts
The Great Hall was filled with the sound of students talking to each other as they ate their dinners. Looking down at his food, Naruto let out a frustrated sigh. 'Damnit, not this again.' Naruto thought as his sight caught the knife and fork next to his plate. Picking up the fork, Naruto nudged the food on his plate, wondering if he should just eat with his hands again. Deciding that he would not be beaten by such simple cutlery, Naruto jabbed his fork into the piece of meat on his plate. Lifting the meat closer to his face, Naruto was tempted to cheer at his success.
"Why hello there. I must admit that I have never seen you before. Excuse my manners, you may call me Sir Nicholas. What may I call you?" Nicholas asked, standing in front of Naruto.
Scowling at the interruption of the moment he could finally enjoy his meal, Naruto glared up at nick, before his face paled. "HOLY MOTHER OF CHAKRA." Naruto yelled, bringing the attention of the occupants of the Great Hall to him as he jumped to the ceiling, seemingly standing upside down.
"This is highly unusual." Nicholas commented while he stared at the upside down ninja.
"Kukuku. I must apologise for Naruto's behaviour, he was startled by Sir Nicholas's appearance." Orochimaru apologised to Dumbledore, before turning towards Sir Nicholas. "I must ask. What are you? You seem to be a ghost, but I am unsure due to the things I have seen in this magical world."
"No problem my good chap." Nicholas replied. "I actually am a ghost. I've been a ghost for almost five hundred years." He explained.
"I apologise for interrupting your conversation Sir Nicholas, but I would like to finish dinner and I believe that Naruto would appreciate it if you would vacate the area." Dumbledore interrupted, pointing towards the ceiling where Naruto was standing.
"I shall make myself scarce then." Nicholas said, taking one last glance at Naruto before leaving.
"You can come down now Naruto-kun. The ghost is gone." Orochimaru began.
Looking around cautiously, Naruto silently dropped down next to his chair. Silently taking his seat, Naruto's eyes darted back and forth as he watched the ghosts floating in the room. Noticing that none of the ghosts were approaching his table, Naruto went back to eating his food. 'Damnit, I was just getting the hang of these things." Naruto thought as he stared at the knife and fork sitting on his plate.
Within the crowd of startled children sat two scheming red heads.
"Hey Fred." George began.
"Yeah George?" Fred continued.
"We're going to use this, aren't we?" George asked.
"His fear of ghosts?" Fred replied.
"Yes." George answered.
The twins grinned as they thought of numerous pranks that they could pull on Naruto.
With dinner finished, the students were led off to bed until all that remained in the Great Hall was the three ninja, Dumbledore and Snape. "Now that the students have gone to bed, I would like all three of you present for the arrival of the additional three shinobi who will be arriving tomorrow." Dumbledore explained.
"While we have no problem with that, I believe that it is important that we know more details of the mission we have been hired for." Orochimaru replied.
"While I originally wanted the second team to be here while I went through the full details, I will tell you the basics. I have hired you to protect Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its inhabitants, this applies to the students. Should you find anything threatening them or causing harm, you are to stop it." Dumbledore said. "I will give a more in depth explanation when the additional shinobi arrive. Now I believe that it is time that we all retire to bed. Professor Snape will lead you to your sleeping quarters." Dumbledore added
'Protect the students? That sounds simple enough.' Naruto thought as Snape led them to their new bedroom. Feeling as if he was forgetting something, Naruto wondered what it could be. 'Crap, I forgot to bring my bed with me.'
The next day, Harry, Hermione and Ron found themselves eating breakfast in the Great Hall. Harry let out a yawn as he tried not to think about the dark hallway that appeared in his dream the previous night.
"You alright there mate?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I just didn't get enough sleep last night." Harry replied, his eyes drooping tiredly.
"Well that's no excuse not to eat a good breakfast. Honestly Harry, you should take better care of yourself." Hermione added, not looking away from her book. "You should hurry up and eat, I expect that we will be going to class soon."
"Whatever you say Hermione." Harry muttered, before shovelling a fork full of scrambled eggs into his mouth.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Hermione asked suddenly, her gaze on the three ninja sitting at their table. "Maybe it's about those other shinobi that are going to be joining them." She thought aloud.
"Other shinobi? What do you mean other shinobi?" Ron asked, his mouth filled with his breakfast.
"Honestly Ron, don't you ever pay attention? Dumbledore said that they are the first group to arrive, meaning that there's going to be a second group arriving soon." Hermione explained, before looking back at the three ninja. "Whatever they're talking about must be very interesting."
Naruto smiled happily as he prodded his breakfast with a fork. "And then I blew up the demon with my Planetary Rasengan and rescued Princess Ramen-chan. Not long after that, Princess Ramen-chan and I were engaged to be married and for some reason Orochimaru was the one that would be marrying us and Octopops was giving a speech about the purity of love between a man and Ramen. Weird, huh?" Naruto mused, recounting his dream to Orochimaru and Bee.
"While most would definitely demand that you be placed in an insane asylum, I don't think many have the power to force you to go." Orochimaru replied. "Yes Naruto-kun, that is most definitely a weird dream."
Bee merely nodded his head to what Orochimaru said, not knowing what to say about Naruto's obsession with Ramen.
"What's with them?" Naruto asked, noticing that the majority of the students were rushing out of the Great Hall. At Orochimaru's shrug Naruto sighed. "I'm gonna follow them." He said. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Naruto muttered as numerous puffs of smoke surrounded him. "Follow the students and make sure nothing happens to them." Naruto ordered.
The clones gave a quick salute, before marching off, determined to follow the students.
Noticing that their client was walking towards them, Naruto gave a short wave with a quick greeting. "Yo."
"Good morning. That is a most interesting skill you have there, but I'm afraid that I didn't come here to ask you about it." Dumbledore admitted. "I would like for you three to follow me, the other shinobi will be arriving shortly." Dumbledore said, before leading the group of shinobi to his office.
Naruto's clone sighed. He just had to be the clone that followed Harry's group, Naruto clone number seven just had to be following Harry's group into what he overheard them saying was their Defence against the Dark Arts class. Leaning against the wall at the back of the class, the clone watched as the students settled into their chairs, talking to one another.
Naruto's clone watched as the doors silently opened before a woman covered in pink clothing entered the room. "Good morning children." She said as she walked towards the front of the class. Flicking her wand, words began to appear on the chalk board. "Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations. O.W.L's, more commonly known as OWL's. Study hard and you will be rewarded, fail to do so and the consequences may be sever." Umbridge added.
Looking towards the back of the class, Umbridge caught sight of the orange clad ninja. "I am going to have to ask you to leave. You have no business in my classroom." Umbridge began, her sights set on Naruto.
"Look lady, I'm just here to do my job and I'm not even interrupting. Hell, no one even notice I was here until you looked to the back of the class." Naruto replied.
"And what job is it that you have? Guarding the school? Who could possibly harm any of these students here in my class room." Umbridge continued. "I am sorry to say, but you have been grievously misinformed by Dumbledore. There is no one out there that wants to hurt any of these students. Now I must ask you again, leave my classroom, or you may find yourself out of a job."
"Only the client or the Hokage has the power to cancel the mission. Too bad for you that you're neither." Naruto said, growing annoyed at the pink clothed womans bickering.
Umbridge smiled. "Your, as you put it, mission will no doubt be cancelled soon as i've seen fit to inform Minister Fudge. Should you not heed my words, I will inform the Minister that both you and this Hokage be out of a job." Umbridge replied nastily.
Naruto scowled at Umbridge, even though she didn't know what she was talking about, the fact that she just assumed that her Ministry had authority in his world just pissed him off. "Now listen here you toad reject. If you don't shut up right now and let me do my job, I will personally take a kunai and jam it so far up your ass that not even Sakura will be able to remove it." Naruto growled out, unconsciously letting out a tiny amount of killing intent, making the entire room nervous.
"N...now see here. Should you at...attempt to harm me, you will find yourself locked up in Azkaban." Umbridge stuttered, her wand aimed at Naruto.
"If you don't let me do my job, you'll find yourself with my kunai up your ass." Naruto said, pulling out a kunai and twirling it around his finger. "Now let me do my job." He added, before placing his kunai back into its holster.
Turning back towards the class, Umbridge flicked her wand towards the books resting on her table. "N...now class, from now on you will be following a carefully structured lesson plan." Umbridge stuttered as the books moved to each of the students desks.
Three ninja and one wizard stood within the Headmasters office, seemingly waiting for something.
Naruto sighed, bored of waiting for the additional ninja. "I feel like one of my clones did something stupid." He muttered.
"You can mark that as an improvement then." Orochimaru commented, noticing Naruto's questioning gaze, he continued. "You said that it was only one."
"Did... did you just make a joke?" Naruto asked, wondering if he was under a Genjutsu.
The room seemed to twist a little, before three people appeared in front of the ninja. Looking over the new group of ninja, Naruto recognised two of the three ninja. "Hey Kankuro, I was kind of expecting Gaara." Naruto said.
"Why would Gaara be going on this mission. Gaara's a Kage, he has other things to do, like taking care of a village." Kankuro replied, warily eying Orochimaru.
"And you're that chick that called me a minion." Naruto said, looking at the woman clad in red and brown.
"The name's Kurotsuchi, you better remember it." Kurotsuchi introduced herself.
Looking towards the man clad in blue and dark blue, Naruto didn't recognise him. "Um, who are you?" Naruto asked.
"I... I'm Chojuro. It's nice to meet you." Chojuro stuttered.
"Kukuku. Before we continue with pleasantries, I believe it best that we know everything this mission entails." Orochimaru said, his gaze set on Dumbledore.
An: And there we have it, chapter 9. As I asked earlier, if you feel like it, please leave me a review.
Thanks for reading.
