"Talking"
Thinking (you may have to decide what is emphasis and what is thinking but I'll assume smartness on your parts)
Japanese (when not in Naruto verse-its too hard)
Kyuubi speaking
'Beast-speaking' (may be hard to tell apart from kyuubi but please do try to dissociated)
The rumours, the unstoppable rumours, they circled before the week was out. Now Naruto and Harry were considered enemy's #1. Harry found himself hiding in the 'Chamber of the Forgotten Founder' more and more, only Ron and Hermione weren't acting weird around him, he strangely hadn't seen the twins at all. Naruto didn't even seem to hear the whispers or feel the looks, but once he'd noticed Naruto crying to Itachi he knew it was hitting his cousin hard. Justin had publically dismissed him as anything but scum in herbology earlier that day, and he hadn't even been given time to try and explain. The Gryffindors showed support, but they obviously had their doubts and there was only so much they could do.
Naruto sat in his own corner of the common room, an ironic smile on his face. Even in the dungeons I still have my swing.
Oh stop with the mellodrama. Kyuubi growled irritably, shifting positions in his cage to return to sleep. Life isn't that bad for you right now, at least no one's poisoning your food.
"Yeah at least no one's doing that." Naruto chuckled despairingly through his knee-caps. He finished the last of his homework in dreary silence, and went to his room followed by everyone's eyes. Once in his dorm he let out an exhausted sigh. Maybe tomorrow it'll all have blown over. Don't count on it.
LINE
Naruto sat in the library, surrounded on all sides by towering heaps of books, no one but Mrs Pince –and she didn't believe in 'gossipy nonsense' and treated him no differently- knew he was here. Suddenly his ears –stupid Kyuubi making it just too easy to eavesdrop on conversations- picked up his cousin's name in a groups conversation.
"-probably why You Know Who wanted to kill him in the first place. Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him. I wonder what other powers Potter's been hiding." A sound of a clearing throat and slight embarrassed shuffles came from behind the book stacks and Naruto dared to peek out from behind his fort. His cousin was talking to them, and by the looks of it getting very frustrated.
"I don't care what kind of blood you've got!" Naruto flinched at the ferocity of his cousin's words. "What would I want to attack Muggle-borns?" Naruto couldn't see the boy's expression from this angle but his next words were full of disbelief.
"I've heard you hate those Muggles that you live with." Harry ducked his head.
"It's not possible to live with the Dursley's and not hate them." Naruto's curiosity finally pulled him from behind his safe house.
"Why's that niisan?" Harry jumped at his appearance, as did the –now discernable- hufflepuffs. "What have they done that would make you hate them?" Knowing the sallow skinned boy's dislike of the subject he pulled the puppy-dog pout. It could make grown men cave, it could make Harry cave, hell if he really tried Itachi would sometimes cave to it. Harry still looked for escape so Naruto dropped to watery eyed look and stared down his cousin. "Is this what Ron-san meant when he said they'd locked you in your room for weeks?" The Hufflepuffs all seemed to stiffen.
"They're just dislikeable people." Harry muttered. Naruto pulled at his arms till Harry looked at him.
"Then you would dislike them." Sighing at the lack of response Naruto turned on the Hufflepuffs. "And you guys leave my nii-san alone! If you hadn't noticed one of his best friends is a Muggle-born and his other best friend is considered a blood traitor –whatever that means-. Not to mention I'm hardly anything blood wise, my mother must have been a squib and my father was a muggle. The only actual magical descent I have was Harry's grandfather, and even then my mother would only have been a half-blood. Even then Harry's mother was a muggle-born." He panted slightly, catching his breath, a small part of his mind wondered where the librarian was. "If you want to start pointing fingers start looking at the facts, Harry is a Gryffindor chosen by the Sorting hat, he wouldn't be the 'Heir of Slytherin' if he hadn't been sorted into that house. I still don't know why Voldasnort was after him but you were all talking like he was some kind of celebrity at the beginning of the term and now your taking it as something completely opposite. Make up your minds. You're sad if all you have to do in your spare time is make up silly rumours without evidence." Naruto scowled at the Hufflepuffs one last time before leaving the library.
One the way out Mrs Pince smiled at him and raised a conspiratory eyebrow at him. Naruto left the library slightly lighter.
