Disclaimer: No Naruto!

I apologize, but I'll be departing to China on a vacation and will not be back until the 29th. That means my updates will be slower, and I will TRY my hardest. Gomen

Dumbledore sat down again and turned to talk to Mad-Eye Moody.

There was a great scraping and banging as all the students got to their feet and swarmed toward the double doors into the entrance hall.

"They can't do that!" said George Weasley, who had not joined the crowd moving
toward the door, but was standing up and glaring at Dumbledore. "We're seventeen in
April, why can't we have a shot?"

"They're not stopping me entering," said Fred stubbornly, also scowling at the top
table. "The champion's get to do all sorts of stuff you'd never be allowed to do normally.
And a thousand Galleons prize money!"

"Yeah," said Ron, a faraway look on his face. "Yeah, a thousand Galleons. . ."
"Come on," said Harry, "we'll be the only ones left here if you don't move."
Harry, Ron, Sasuke, Hermione, Fred, and George set off for the entrance hall

"Who's this impartial judge who's going to decide who the champions are?" said
Sasuke.

"Dunno," said Fred, "but it's them we'll have to fool. I reckon a couple of drops
of Aging Potion might do it, George.. ."

"Dumbledore knows you're not of age, though," said Harry.

"Yeah, but he's not the one who decides who the champion is, is he?" said Fred
shrewdly. "Sounds to me like once this judge knows who wants to enter, he'll choose the
best from each school and never mind how old they are. Dumbledore's trying to stop us
giving our names."

"People have died, though!" said Patsy in a worried voice as they walked through a door concealed behind a tapestry and started up another, narrower staircase.

"Yeah," said Draco airily, "but that was years ago, wasn't it? Anyway, where's the
fun without a bit of risk? Hey, Naruto, what if we find out how to get 'round Dumbledore? Fancy entering?"

"What d'you reckon?" Harry asked Sasuke. "Be cool to enter, wouldn't it? But I
s'pose they might want someone older... Dunno if we've learned enough.. .
"I definitely haven't," came Neville's gloomy voice from behind Fred and George.
"I expect my gran'd want me to try, though. She's always going on about how I
should be upholding the family honor. I'll just have to -- oops. . ."

Neville's foot had sunk right through a step halfway up the staircase.

There were many of these trick stairs at Hogwarts; it was second nature to most of the older students to jump this particular step, but Neville's memory was notoriously poor. Harry and Ron seized him under the armpits and pulled him out, while a suit of armor at the top of the stairs creaked and clanked, laughing.

"Shut Up"

"Fine"

"Balderdash," said an older Slytherin walking up, "a prefect downstairs told me."

The portrait swung forward to reveal a hole in the wall through which they all
climbed. A crackling fire warmed the circular common room, which was full of squashy armchairs and tables.

Naruto cast the merrily dancing flames a dark look, and Draco distinctly heard her mutter "Slave labor" before bidding them good night and disappearing through the doorway to the boys' dormitory.

"I might go in for it, you know," Draco said sleepily through the darkness, "if Fred
and George find out how to. . . the tournament. . . you never know, do you?"

"S'pose not. .. ." muttered Goyle

Naruto rolled over in bed, a series of dazzling new pictures forming in his mind's
eye. . . .

He had hoodwinked the impartial judge into believing he was seventeen. . .

He had become Hogwarts champion. . . he was standing on the grounds, his arms raised in triumph in front of the whole school….

All of whom were applauding and screaming. . . he had just won the Triwizard Tournament. Sakura's face stood out particularly clearly in the blurred crowd, her face glowing with admiration...

And even Sasuke was giving him a high five.

"Good job dobe"

"Thanks Teme"

Harry grinned into his pillow, exceptionally glad that Ron couldn't see what he
could.

thank you Lighting Fox, Kisame Hoshigaki, and idkwtusb and soccercrazyfreak for reading and giving such nice reviews.

blekmedelninjan: I'm sorry, but I don't have much time to write long chapters. I might forget and that'd become troublesome if I delete it by mistake.

Jayjay94 and Darth Sai: To tell you the truth, I hate the fact that every story makes Naruto into Gryffindor because he's brave. But Naruto's ambitious, so much that in Shippuden he walks up to every person he fought to ask how to "retrieve" Sasuke. JKR the author of HArry Potter said that "the element of Gryffindor was fire and Slytherin was WIND. I am just mearely stating that fact. Gryffindor people usually have nerve and daring. Most of the time they take risks and do not think about what happen to others. Frankly, Darth Sai, I hate Gryffindors apart from Fred, George, Neville and Harry and much prefer Ravenclaw. You cannot call somebody a fangirl (how I dETEST that word) just because they put a CHARACTER into a House that you do not prefer.
