I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter!

A week after the new term began, Tenten was looking for Hermoine Granger. The girl had managed to send a message to the three shinobi through a strange silvery animal, telling them that she had found the book on forbidden seals. However, it was up to Team Gai to find a way to get her out of class and away from students and teachers so that they could discuss Neji's seal. Her opportunity came when she spotted Hermoine, Harry, and Ron walking out of the Great Hall. Tenten marched over to them angrily. "You three!" She said angrily. Loud enough that the surrounding students would hear and assume the three were in trouble, but quiet enough not to cause a scene.

"Yes?" Hermoine asked pleasantly.

"Come with me. You have disrupted campus security. Follow me." And with one gruff order, Tenten turned around and walked towards their common room. She could sense the trio following her, so she wasn't worried about losing them. They stopped in front of the painting which covered the hole into their common room. "Hermoine, do you have the book?" Tenten asked.

"No, I left it in my trunk in the dormitory." Hermoine answered. Tenten cursed inher head, but remained silent.

"I will retrieve it. I assume you've hidden it, so tell me how to get it."

"It's in a hidden part of my trunk in my dormitory." Hermoine answered.

Tenten nodded. "Herring soba." She told the girl in the painting. The girl giggled and her painting swung open to reveal the shinobi's common room. "Wait on the couch and do not touch anything. Tiger will be watching you until I return. Understood?" the three students nodded, and then entered the room. Once the painting swung shut, Tenten took off to Hermoine's dorm to retrieve the book. Once she was inside, she scanned the room to find Hermoine's trunk. She eventually found it and opened the trunk. Inside, Hermoine's clothes were neatly folded and arranged as either school clothes or non-school clothes. Tenten found a hidden latch on inside of the trunk, and clicked it into place. A drawer –which must have been hiding in some strange, magical dimension –moved into view. Inside the trunk were a large book and a gold necklace. Tenten ignored the necklace and grabbed the book. She raced back to her own common room, only to see Neji and Lee already in the room.

Tenten set the book on the coffee table and stood next to Neji. Hermoine flipped through the book and stopped at the page. At the top of the page was a picture of a green seal which looked just like the one on Neji's forehead. "This is it." Hermoine announced. She scanned the page briefly and bit her bottom lip. "This will be tricky… I'll have to study some other books before I can properly perform this charm. It'll take me awhile, but I'm sure I can do it."

Neji looked over the page. "What can I do to speed up the process?"

Still looking at the book, Hermoine responded: "Get me a reason for going into the restricted section. I'll need a note from a professor and a legitimate reason which neither the professor nor Madam Pince will think suspicious." Neji nodded, thinking.

Hermoine read the section several more times before finally looking up at the group. "How quickly can you get me that note?" Hermoine asked.

"By tomorrow." Tenten answered.

"And if we cannot, then I shall help Hermoine look through all the books in the library. And if I cannot do that, then I will cook the curry of life for the youthful Hogwarts students! And if I cannot do that, then I will –" but no one ever discovered what else Lee would do, since Tenten quickly covered his mouth with her hand.

"Jeez, Lee. We get it." She said in a reprimanding tone, but she was still smiling at her teammate.

She slowly removed her hand from Lee's mouth and wiped it on her pants. Neji simply tried to ignore his insane teammates. The three students had mixed expressions of amusement and confusion on their faces. "You should go back to your regular schedule." Neji told the students.

"Make sure to look like we punished you or something!" Tenten called after them as they left the common room. "How much longer until the student's curfew?" she asked.

"Two more hours. Lee, you patrol the castle. Tenten and I will get a note from one of Hermoine Granger's professors." With a nod, Lee took off into the hallways of the castle, while Neji and Tenten walked to Minerva McGonagall's classroom.

When the two teammates entered the teacher's office, she raised an eyebrow at them. "Shouldn't you be protecting the students right now?"

"Yes, however we have come to you with concern for one of our students." Neji responded.

"It's Potter, isn't it?" the elderly witch asked with a sigh. Tenten shook her head. "Fred and George Weasley? Those two cause so much trouble, it's ridiculous."

"No, it's Hermoine Granger." Tenten finally supplied the teacher with a name.

"What? Granger? I know that she is friends with Potter and Weasley, but she really doesn't cause that much trouble. Only the problem with the troll in her first year."

"Well, she isn't getting into trouble, persay." Tenten explained cautiously. "I caught her sneaking into the restricted section of the library. When I asked her why, she said it's because she heard of some strange remedy that might work for a sick relative of hers. And that remedy is in a book in the restricted section. She needs a note to get in."

"And why didn't Miss Granger come to me with this concern herself?"

Tenten sighed. "She doesn't want anyone to know about her relative's condition. She's afraid it will ask for unwanted ridicule and pity. She wanted to do this on her own, but we –as responsible adults –recognize that she does need help, even if it's small. So we think that a pass to the restricted section would help, she wouldn't take any other help." Tenten explained calmly in order to make her lie more convincing.

"Hm, Miss Granger should have come to me directly with this request. However, considering the condition of her family member and her status as a prefect, I'll give her a pass after the lesson tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to grade these tests." The woman shoed the two shinobi out of her office and closed the door behind them.

"That went well." Tenten remarked as they walked back towards their common room.

Neji turned to look at her. "How much time do we have until Lee finished patrolling?" he asked carefully.

Tenen checked a large grandfather clock as they walked past it. "At least an hour and a half, maybe two hours. Why?" she asked.

Neji didn't respond until they reached the common room. At that point, he untied his mask and set it on the coffee table. Before Tenten could react, he untied her mask and set it beside his own mask. "Neji? What are you doing?" But the only reply was Neji's lips on hers.
