Chapter Forty Eight Romance Is For Fools

Professor McGonagall exited the castle and walked into what was normally the Quidditch Pitch. With no Quidditch this year the headmaster had allowed the Shinobi to use it for training. She walked near the pitch and looked on in shock.

Harry was sparing with Denki easily defending his attacks. He wore a black t shirt and baggy pants. Sarada and Boruto were doing sit ups. Sakura and Konohamaru were in the middle of an intense spar and Mirai was off a good distance away reading a scroll. She spoke out, "Harry, Mirai, may I have a word," she asked. Mirai stood and walked over her eyes blazing in anger. Harry and Denki bowed as Harry made his way over along with Sakura. Sakura looked at Professor McGonagall, "what is it, we are training," she asked annoyed. Mirai nodded her voice cold, "you better not be bothering me over something trivial," she said. Professor McGonagall sighed, "no I need to tell you something regarding the tournament," she said. They all nodded as she continued, "I just told my class and realized you need to be informed. The Yule Ball is approaching a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament. You all may attend only rule is you must dress nicely. You may wear whatever you consider formal. As you are not students I won't tell you how to behave but please act appropriately. As champions you and your dance partners must open the ball," she said. Mirai spoke immediately, "I refuse," she said. Professor McGonagall looked at her, "you what," she said. Mirai laughed slightly, "I said no I don't care, I don't do this crap it's a waste of time. You're tradition means nothing to me," she said. Professor McGonagall looked at Sakura, "can't you do something," she asked. Sakura frowned, "I have no control over what she does in her free time. Besides I would never force her to do something if she doesn't want to," she said. Harry spoke, "I may do it," he said. Professor McGonagall looked at him, "if what," she asked curiously. Harry grinned, "If Hermione agrees to be my date," he said simply. Denki and Mitsuki who had stopped there training looked at each other, "you going," Denki and asked. Mitsuki looked at him, "I don't understand the point," he asked as Denki slapped his forehead. Denki spoke, "Harry and Hermione or Boruto and Sarada who agrees to go as a date first," he asked. Mitsuki looked at him, "I'm not sure," he said somewhat confused as Boruto and Sarada were off in thought. Boruto looked at Sarada who blushed. McGonagall looked at Harry and Mirai, "fine I won't bother you about the matter I know It's not my place," she said as Mirai nodded, "Romance Is For Fools," she said as she turned to walk back to continue her training. Harry looked at Sakura, "Sensei do you mind if I go," he asked. Sakura smiled, "fine, go ask Hermione," she said as Harry grinned, "I need to shower first I'm not asking her out smelling like this," he said as he ran off.


After showing and changing into a new set of clothes Harry found himself sitting down at the same table as Hermione, "Hello," he greeted as she smiled, "hello Harry, I thought you had training for a few more hours," she said. Harry smiled, "yeah but something came up," he said. Hermione looked at him, 'oh you mean the Yule Ball. you're mad about it aren't you," she said softly. Harry took a breath, "Listen Hermione, I was wondering you would like to go to the ball with me," he asked. She looked up from her book and straed at him, "really are you sure Harry," she asked happily. He nodded, "who else would I go with," he asked. Hermione looked at him, "Sarada" she said quietly as Harry laughed quietly, "Sarada no way, we are just friends. Besides she is too focused on Boruto," he said. Hermione smiled, "well then my answer is yes of course," she said as Harry smiled, "I'm not wearing robes by the way," he said with a smile. Hermione nodded, "I don't care what you wear," she told him as he nodded. It was than Viktor Krum entered the room. He sat down at a nearby table and Hermione sighed, "he is coming here a lot and has been staring at me," she said as Harry's eyes narrowed, "want me to 'talk' to him," he said as she shook her head, "Harry I don't need you to worry about me I can take care of myself," she said as Harry nodded, "I know it's just I can handle everything must easier," he said as she nodded, "yes but I can handle some Quidditch player," she said as he nodded. She looked at him, "are Boruto and Sarada going together," she asked as she looked down to her work. Harry sighed, "Boruto better ask, Sarada's liked him for years," he said. Hermione shifted in her seat, "Harry can I ask a question," she said you can she was nervous as Harry nodded. Hermione too a breath, "last year Mirai mentioned Hidan being a member of the terrorist organization known as Akatsuki, what is Akatsuki," she asked. Harry froze his body grew tense at the very word Akatsuki. Harry sighed, "Akatsuki was a group of Rough Shinobi from all different countries and villages. It was made up of some of the worst Rough Ninja in history. Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha upon them. They killed so many people and started the Fourth Great Ninja War that killed thousands," he said. Hermione frowned, "I'm assuming this is what you learned in history class," she asked and he nodded. Harry looked at her, "you know I just realized you're parents are dentists right?," he asked looking at her now smaller teeth and she sighed, "Mom and Dad won't be too pleased. I've been trying to persuade them to let me shrink them for ages, but they wanted me to carry on with my braces. You know, they're dentists and they want to do it there way," she said as Harry nodded, "good luck with that hope you don't get in trouble," he said as she nodded, "that would sink i'm hoping they will forget by the next time I see them," she said as he nodded, "I once used that logic over the weekend while in the academy," he said as she looked at him surprised, "did it work," she asked as he laughed, "god no, Shino Sensei was pissed on Monday and I got detention," he said as she looked at him amused, "what did you do," she asked as he smiled, "Boruto almost hit Metal with a Demon Wind Shuriken during Shuriken training. I called him out, we fought and Shino Sensei saw us. We stopped before he could tell us off and hoped he would forget about it. He didn't," Harry explained. Hermione grinned, "you were always a troublemaker," she joked. Harry nodded.


Harry walked in the direction of his dorm when Ron bursted passed him. His face was red and his sister was following him. Ginny stopped and turned to him, "Hey Harry," she said as Harry smiled, "out of sheer curiosity why is your brother running around with his hands covering his face. She sighed, "He asked Fleur Delacour to go to the ball with him," she said simply as Harry burst out laughing, "oh that is the best thing i've heard all day, no offense Ginny," he said as she smiled, "it was pretty funny," she said as they both laughed. Ginny froze and frowned, "you know he misses you and Hermione," she said as Harry sighed, "I'm willing to give him a chance if he says sorry," Harry told her as she nodded and ran off.


Harry entered his dorm and was immediately confronted by Denki, "did she say yes," he asked as Harry nodded, "yeah thank god," he said with a sight as Denki grinned, "good to hear," he said as Harry looked at him, "you going to come," he asked and Denki shook his head, "there is no one for me to go with," he said as Harry sighed, "when we get home you need to work on that," he said as Denki frowned, "not on my priority list right now" he told his friend. Denki sighed. Harry glacned at the couch as Boruto sat down and sighed, "Sarada has a nice ass, " he said as Harry and Denki stared at him in shock. He looked at them his eyes wide his face red, "did I say that outloud," he asked as Harry smirked, "Fraid so buddy," he said with amusement in his voice. Denki looked at Boruto, "why don't you just tell Sarada you like her. Take her to the ball I'm sure she will love that," he said annoyed. Boruto glared at them, "not everyone can just ask a girl out like Harry,' he spat as Harry laughed, "just try you will like the results," he said as Boruto stood, "I will think about it," he snapped as he walked into his room. Denki looked at Harry, "I would be more worried about the fact that her Dad is the second most powerful being alive," he whispered as Harry laughed, "wouldn't want to piss that guy off. Trained with him once," he said as Denki nodded as they both looked up to see Mirai before they blood covered her face, "what did he teach you," she asked rudely as Harry smirked,"none of your bussiness bitch," he said speaking lowly. Mirai looked at him with a looked of anger before she walked away.

As Mirai entered her room she slammed her fist against the wall cracking it. She looked down in anger, "damn you Harry Potter when did you get this strong," she whispered in anger.


Outside the Riddle House Genji stood with black hair in his late fifties. He looked at a tree as a young man at least fourteen faded out of it. He wore a black cloak with hood that covered his face. He wore a red mask with only two holes to allow his eyes to see. There was a red shine emitting from his right eye. He spoke, "you all remember the plan," the man asked his voice cold. Genjin nodded, "Tobe is annoyed with how long it's taking. Bakugo only cares about his own interests and how this furthers them. Hidan being removed was good call," Genji said as the cloaked man nodded," Yes it was he is excited for our other plans elsewhere. I need you all to continue with our plans here until I'm ready to make my move," he said as Genji smiled, "of course My Lord how long will it be until you're ready," he asked as the man sighed, "I'm not sure, I need to prepare, that fool does not even suspect a thing, for a ninja of his caliber it's quite saddening," he said with a smirk as he placed a vial on the ground and faded back into the ground.
