Hi I am back. Polls are closed and the vote(s) cast. I have a definite idea how I want this story to go and I am hoping that I can get it to go that way soon. Because of this I will try to update faster. I have a pretty clear idea of how the first part is going to go so I will hopefully finish the first section of my ideas before mid-March, hopefully before Feb. ends. I am sorry if this story idea seems overused and worn out. I know that Naruto/HP crossovers are not uncommon. I hope that this idea to do it is not overused. Hopefully, when I finish part one and start part two it will seem original, or at least, more original.
WARNING: DO NOT READ IF NOT INTO WRONG PAIRINGS. This story is not going to be a Hin/Arka pairing if some are thinking that. If you want to write a story with that pairing please tell me I want to see how you did it.
IT IS SAFE.
Of course I DO NOT own Naruto or Harry Potter.

Story Time.
Knock, knock, knock. Hagrid knocked on the door three times. Soon after he knocked the door swung open. A tall witch with emerald-green robes and black hair stood there.
"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," Hagrid told the witch, Professor McGonagall.
"Thank you, Hagrid. I will take them from here," Professor McGonagall informed Hagrid. After that Professor McGonagall lead them through the entrance hall and into a small, empty chamber.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in your house common room…" Professor McGonagall rambled on.
"Kuso, hey guys, I know we all decided to be in Gryffindor, but what if the test we have to take is at the same time, or we can't get it so we are at least in the same house?" Kiba whispered loudly to Hinata and Shino. Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru are in the very back of the group so Professor McGonagall could not here them.
"If it is a written exam, I will write the answers that I think will get us to Gryffindor and send an insect to each of you for you to trace the answers, if it is one at a time we will just have to figure out how to manipulate the test to get us in Gryffindor," replied Shino calmly.
"Sounds like a good plan Shino," Hinata agreed.
"We need to do more missions like this. You actually talk and that is a good plan," Kiba said absent mindedly.
"Arf," Akamaru, Shino guessed, barked in agreement.
"Hello Fat F-friar how is your day g-going?" Hinata asked the Fat Friar since the ghosts have just arrived in the room.
"Ah, I am doing wonderfully and I am glad that I saw you Hinata. There is something I have been meaning to ask you," started the Fat Friar.
"Yes, what is it?" Hinata asked curiously.
"Hinata, are you blind?" the Fat Friar asked innocently.
Twitch. "No. I. Am. Not. Blind." Twitch. Hinata answered while trying not to seem upset. The Fat Friar is a nice guy but that question was getting annoying. '65'
After that small exchange, Professor McGonagall led the first years into the Great Hall, after they formed a line. Since Team 8 have already seen the Great Hall they were not as impressed as the others. The others, however, we surprised and almost all of them were looking up at the invisible looking ceiling in awe. After the students were in front of the staff table Professor McGonagall reached for a four legged stool and an old ragged hat. After a second the bottom of the hat ripped open like a mouth and it started to sing.
(A/N: I do not own the song. Song, not spell.)
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
After the song ended the hall burst into applause.
After that Professor McGonagall stepped forward.
"When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted, Abbott, Hannah."
Hannah stepped forward and was sorted into Hufflepuff.
"Aburame, Shino"
Shino walked up to the stool and put on the hat.
Shino's POV (A/N: Sorting Hat thoughts in bold.)
'Now this is not something you see everyday. So you are a ninja.'
'You can read minds and our past.'
'Yes, but don't worry, whatever I see in your head I can not tell, unless you give me permission to. Now where to put you, you definitely have a head on your shoulders so you could go into Ravenclaw. You are very brave to sign up for that profession, especially at your age. You care deeply for bugs; I bit too much if you ask me. Why do you have bugs living in you?'
'If you can see every part of our past, then why did you ask that question when the answer is looking you in the face? As for the house I would like Gryffindor.'
'Whatever you say'
"Gryffindor"
Normal POV
After that Shino went to the Gryffindor table calmly as the people at his table were cheering loudly. A few more names were called out and Hermione was put into Gryffindor.
"Hyuuga Hinata."
Hinata's POV
'Ah another ninja, you have a very kind heart, you are smart also, and you are willing to do anything, including die, for your friends and family. You also come from a very strong clan full of, shall we say, stuck up people. You know, you are one of the few people that come from a family like that and I can not find a thing, besides your family to put you in Slytherin.'
'Ano, Sorting Hat-san, does this mean you know everything that is in my head?
'Yes but don't worry I can't tell anyone what I see in someone's head. Now where should I put you, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Gryffindor?'
'Sorting Hat-san can you put me in Gryffindor. I really need to become stronger so I am not so much of a disappointment to my family and Gryffindor seems like the best house for that.'
"Gryffindor"
Normal POV
With that, Hinata walked over to the Gryffindor table to Shino's right.
"Inuzuka Kiba."
Kiba's POV
'Why are there two minds here?'
'Ah, there is a voice in my head. Hey wait are you the sorting hat? Can you read my mind? Oh yeah, Akamaru is still on my head.'
'Can you understand me?' Akamaru.
'Yes I am the Sorting Hat, I can read mines, and I can understand you Akamaru. Now where to put you? Hum, you are both incredibly brave. Better be.
"Gryffindor."
Normal POV
Kiba, with Akamaru still on his head jumped off the stool, took off his hat and sat on the right of Hinata. After a while the sorting finished.
"Man, I'm happy we didn't agree on Slytherin, then we would be stuck with Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle," Kiba whispered to Hinata and Shino. Shino and Hinata nodded in agreement. Harry, Ron, and Neville were sorted into Gryffindor. Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle were sorted in Slytherin. Others were sorted but they have not met them yet. Soon Dumbledore stood up and addressed the students.
"Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"
'Is there such a thing as a sane wizard,' Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru thought at the same time.
After that thought food magically appeared in front of everyone. At this the first years were amazed, or at least most of them. Soon the ghosts came in. Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru were listening to hear what they could pick up about this place. By the end of the meal they learned why Nearly Headless Nick was nearly headless, that people with wizarding blood could become muggles, and a little about their classes. Soon they were dragged into the conversation.
"Hello you three, I am Seamus. Who are you?"
"Hi I am Kiba, this is Akamaru, the guy with the sunglasses is Shino, and the quiet girl is Hinata. It is nice to meet you."
"It is nice to meet you four also. Um Hinata I have a question for you. Are you blind?" asked Seamus.
"No," Hinata said shortly. '69' After that, he seemed a bit embarrassed and made up an excuse to leave. Soon a lot of people were talking to them. They made sure not to let out any secrets. Soon Dumbledore was standing again.
"Ahem—just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered ('We are not plants you know' thought Kiba). I have a few start-of-term notices to give you.
First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that." At that it looked like he was looking at the guys that introduced themselves as Fred and George Weasley.
"I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors.
Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch.
The third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death.
Lastly I would like to inform you that we have a few foreign students this year along with an addition to the staff. They come all the way from Japan so please make them feel welcome. The addition to our staff is Ms. Kurenai Yuuhi; she will be assisting Professor McGonagall in Transfiguration along with helping her with her duties as head of house. Now, before we go off to bed lets sing the school song," Dumbledore told everyone.
(The Hogwarts Song, do not own)
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot."
After the Weasley twins finished they were sent to their common room.
"Yes, we are all in Gryffindor and Kurenai-sensei is head of our house. This is going to be great," Kiba said as they walked the halls following Percy.
"Yes, this will be fun and we will be able to start classes tomorrow," Hinata agreed.
"Hinata, did you have to remind me about classes. You just ruined my good mood," Kiba whined.
"Kiba, get over it. I am certain that even you are intrigued at some level of your consciousness of what we will be learning especially since we will be learning items of interest far beyond that an average person in our community is able to comprehend or has the innate ability to do," Shino said to try and get Kiba to stop complaining.
"Shino can you talk in SIMPLE Japanese or English, you lost me at intr-something or another," Kiba whined some more.
"Kiba I think Shino said that he thinks you should stop whining and that you will probably like some of the stuff we are going to learn. He also said that you will be able to do stuff other people in our community can't do which might help you," Hinata simplified.
"Really, why didn't you just say so Shino?" Kiba asked.
"Baka," was Shino's only reply. By this time they reached their common room after learning that the password was 'Caput Draconis'. Shino, Akamaru, and Kiba said goodnight to Hinata as they went to their dormitories. After that they fell asleep waiting for the next day.
So how was it. Not my best chapter yet but it needed to be in there. Please read and review.
