Chapter 21

1234567890

One week later he had already started 'Sorcery School'. It would start half an hour after the ninja academy let out and would go on for two hours. He would work with them for whatever basic class was on that day (Monday - Transfiguration, Tuesday - Herbology, Wednesday - Potions, Thursday - Battle Magic (Which was basically DADA) and Healing Magic, Friday - Charms) for an hour. The other hour would be devoted to some of the…not so basic classes (Monday - Divination, Tuesday - Arithmancy (and some spell creation), Wednesday - Runes (Ancient and otherwise), Thursday - Occulomency and Legimency), except for Friday which was the day they did whatever form of magic was easier for them (For Example: Ino - Occulomency and Legimency, Sasuke - Battle Magic, Kiba - Herbology and Potions).

Shikamaru needed motivation to do pretty much anything, which caused Harry to come up with a (in Shikamaru's mind) extremely evil idea. Harry would randomly fire curses, hexes, spells, and/or jinxes at him that would do something extremely embarrassing. After the first few times this happened, Shikamaru found he had a knack for transfiguration and constantly transfigured objects to intercept the incoming spells.

Harry also managed to get Hiashi agree to allow Hinata to become his apprentice. Hiashi finally agreed after Harry wouldn't stop bugging him about it (Harry used every trick in the book until Hiashi gave in). Hiashi did make a condition that he had to train Hanabi with Hinata. Harry said he would do so, but that there were things out of Hanabi's reach that Hinata would be able to do. This pissed Hiashi off quite a bit, even though he would never show that to Harry. Seeing as he had to teach Hanabi along with Hinata, he started teaching all of those who had broken a focus stone at the same time (Hinata, Hanabi, Shino, Naruto, Gaara, Sasuke, and an older genin named Kabuto, though he was the only other one who broke a focus stone (and it was only one) before the next one settled on a dark blue).

Harry quickly started to get annoyed with Hanabi and Kabuto, as both of them started to question the way he was teaching. He quite calmly told them, that if they didn't like it, they could very well leave and not come back. Harry really wouldn't mind.

In the little free time Harry had left he started working on a spell that would be similar to the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu that Naruto learned from a scroll he had 'borrowed' from the Hokage. The spell was going to be as different as it was going to be similar though, and it was going to take quite a while to create.

In the Mother Dimension

It had taken her almost a year to find someone that would actually teach her Legimency, and Hermione wasn't too thrilled about that. She had nearly been caught by the Ministry three times, the Order nearly found her seven times, did find her two times, and almost managed to get her unconscious once, and Rhonda Yates (some reporter for the Daily Prophet that had taken the place of Skeeter) seemed to know exactly what Hermione was up to.

"Do you want to learn this or not?" her teacher asked.

"Yes."

"Then get the bloody hell up!"

"I want to learn Legimency."

"You have to learn Occulomency first, you stupid girl!" Hermione glared straight into the one eye Walden Macnair had left.

Back In Konoha (Hokage's Office)

"And the council wants Naruto to go to this 'Heir's Banquet' thing, but not Sasuke?" Harry asked.

"Yes," Sarutobi said, smoking his pipe, "So I'm sure you can figure out why I am so concerned."

"Well, yeah," Harry said, "They want to kill Naruto. Now when is this 'banquet' again?"

"I'm not supposed to tell you that it will happen on October 24th," Sarutobi said, smiling.

"Hmm," Harry looked thoughtful for a moment, "You know what…I don't think the four of us will be in Konoha on the 24th of October. I have a mini-vacation planned."

"Mini-vacation?"

"Mmhmm. Possibly to Kiri and Suna and some other places," Harry said, "Well, maybe not Suna. Gaara tenses every time Suna is brought into a conversation. So maybe Taki instead."

"I'll be sure to not inform the council of this little trip," Sarutobi said.

"Thank you," Harry replied, "And I won't tell anyone that you accidentally let me know when the 'banquet' was going to be. Now if you'll excuse me, I have grocery shopping to do. A lot of grocery shopping."

"Oh? How about I assign you some help."

"You don't need to do that."

"Nonsense. I insist."

"You don't seem to happy," Harry commented, to the purple haired woman who walked past him grumbling.

"Of course not!" she rounded on him, "I have to help some stupid ass bastard carry around his groceries!"

"Well," Harry said, grinning at her, "Speaking as the stupid ass bastard, I did try to convince the Hokage that I really didn't need any help." The look on the woman's face when she realized that she had just insulted the client to their face was priceless.

"Uh…"

"Don't worry about it," Harry said, waving it off, "You're not the first person to insult me to my face. You're just the first one to have a good reason for doing so. I'm Harry."

"Anko."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Anko-san." The two started to walk to the store. Harry noticed that as they walked, the villagers gave Anko the same glares they gave Naruto. This sparked some sort of protectiveness in Hell, and soon Harry was glaring right back at the villagers.

"You don't have to do that," Anko said, quietly.

"I'll do it anyway," Harry said, continuing to glare at the villagers, who all looked away in fear. Some scampering away as well.

One and a half hours later, Anko and Harry (both carrying bags), walked into Harry's kitchen to find Kakashi laying on top of the table.

"Foooooooooooooooood," Kakashi moaned.

"Um…how long have you been lying on top of the kitchen table?" Harry asked, putting the grocery bags on the counter, and motioning for Anko to do the same.

"Six hours, at least," Kakashi said, "Where have you beeee-heeeee-heeeeeen?" Harry's eye twitched.

"Out getting the food, idiot," Harry said, causing Anko to smirk, "Now away with you! Off my table, and out of my kitchen! Shoo!" Kakashi stayed put. Harry's eye twitched. Kakashi moaned the word "Foooooooooooooooood!" again. Harry started firing any spells he could think off. Kakashi ran out of the kitchen as fast as he could. Naruto came in.
"Wow…Kakashi was only here for about five minutes and he already managed to get you firing curses at him. That's a new record!" Harry's eye twitched again.

I liked the Kakashi part the best in this chapter. I had fun imagining him on the table, moaning about food. The only actually thing I had for this chapter was Hermione getting someone to teach her Occulomency/Legimency, and for Anko to get stuck on "grocery" duty with Harry. Kakashi was something that just came to me at random. Read and Review! Smiles!
