Chapter TWO-

Just as Tsunade asked, team Seven appeared standing at the door of the Hokage's office, waiting for permission to enter from the Hokage herself. Kakashi was the one to knock on the door, seeing how the other members of the team seemed a bit upset about leaving, well expect Sasuke, who was happy to spend a whole year away from the leaf Village because he had very he needed, he could protected Naruto without having to worry, that much. He had no problems with this mission.

Naruto on the other hand really didn't want to leave the Village or friends here for a whole year and maybe longers, but Tsuande this is important he pushed his feelings down and accepted this mission, lucky a couple of his friends and old teacher promised to visit them at Hogwarts when they had the time.

For Sakura, it took a while to beg and persuade her parents to let her go to London for a year for this mission, and when they finally agreed after what felt like hours talking. She immediately kissed and said her goodbyes to her friends and of course her girlfriend, who still didn't want Sakura to go. Sakura ran to the library to get any book that had 'Wizards' or 'witches' or 'spells' or 'magic' on them, she wanted to know as much as she could before she got there. Sadly there weren't that many but she made do.

And for Kakashi, he hadn't packed anything, he just shoved a couple of books, porn books, food, water, and tools into his bag and said his goodbyes to late friends -Rin, Obito, and Minato- to make sure they knew where he was going, and why he wouldn't be around for a while. Kakashi had to run to Naruto's apartment to wake the idiot up, because he was still sleeping. And none of them wanted to be late to Tsunade's office. She would definitely yell and kick them if they were just a minute late.

A quick but calm voice spoke up from the other side of the green doors, "Come in." Which all of them walked into the room, and stood the same way they did two days before. All of them had bags over their shoulders, their headbands on their head, forehead or face, and they all wore the same clothes as always. All of them stood straight, staring right above the Hokage's head, to show their respect towards her. Tsunade looked up from the paperwork she was working on, setting his pen and paper down, she grabbed the dirty sock before out of a drawer she had put it into, because it smells too bad for her nose to deal with for two days. She placed the sock onto her wooden desk -only using the tips of her fingers, she really didn't want to touch the gross thing-. The members of team Seven gave Tsunade a bewildered look, but stayed quiet.

"This -sock- will be taking you to a place called the 'Leaky Cauldron'. Where you will meet with Mr. Lupin and Mrs. Tonks. They are friends of the headmaster, and will be in charge of you four until you get to Hogwarts and completely start your mission." Tsunade clarified while pointing down to the sock, for them to look at. "Naruto, please don't make too much of a mess while there, and Sasuke, please don't show off your powers too much, people will get suspicious. And that goes for all of you, don't show your chakra to anyone but the teachers, of course you may use your powers and skills when there is a fight. But in no way should you tell someone that you are not a wizards or witch. You need to keep your identity a secret until the headmaster says you can come back home. Try your best to act normal, I'm trusting you Sakura and Kakashi to keep them acting normal." She ranted on, she really didn't want this to fail. It was important with hundreds of lives on the line, they might not be shiboi but they were people, people with families and kids. They needed protection and Tsunade was here to proctor anyone who needed it. She deeply sighed before talking again, "Any questions about this mission?"

Sakura raised her hand, but quickly put it down, riesling she is not in class. Tsunade nodded for her to ask her question, "What will we be wearing?" Sakura quizzed, "All of us stick too much for the Wizarding world, so what will we be wearing to fit in better." She repeated her question.

"Mr. Lupin and Mrs, Tonks will help you out with that when you get there." Tsunade answered, crossing her fingers together and putting her elbows on the desk. "Any more?" She asked, looking around at the four ninja.

"Yeah I got one." Naruto spoke up, waving right hand a bit to get the Hokage's attention. She nodded for him to continue, "Don't Americans speak a different language?" He guessed, which tsunade nodded a yes. "Alright so how are we going to understand them and them to understand us?" Naruto asked, waving one of his arms around while explaining his question. Both Sakura and Sasuke whipped their heads towards, in shock that he had a good question. "What? I was just asking. Why are you all looking at me like that?" He snapped, a light blush on his face. No one answered him.

"Yes they do speak a different language. But you have to send charke to your throat, to translate your voices. And they also will help with that." Tsunade answered, she moved her eyes to look at Kakashi, "Kakashi you went to the US years ago, correct?" kakashi simply nodded, "Alright, can you teach them how to do that." It was a question but it sounded like a statement that Kakashi had to comply with. "No more questions?" She asked, looking back to the other three members of the team. All of them shook their heads for a no. "Okay good. Please hold the sock with both hands, everyone needs to touch the sock. Don't let go until Mr. Lupin or Mrs. Tonk says to."

Kakashi grabbed the sock and held it out for the other to grab onto it, they all stood in a circle, staring down at the sock that felt wet in their hands. "I wish you the best of the luck, you will need it for this." The hokage said, all of them waited.

Seconds passed, nothing happened, minutes passed nothing happened, when the click hit the six a light blinded them all. They gripped onto the sock for dear life, not knowing what was happening, they looked at each other but quickie shut their eyes. Their stomach churning, it felt like they were falling off of the building. Passing rocks, grass or trees. From their closed eyes, they could see the light change colors, pink to forest green, then to hot red, then to light yellow. Throat choked on air as if the air around them was gone a second or two, their arms felt like they would fall off, their legs felt like they would break. Their heads sting and spinned. Everything in their body felt unpleasant but all of them still held onto the sock and each other's hands.

Naruto's legs buckled beneath him, making him floor for the floor, his hand was no longer holding the sock but he still gripped Sakura's hand, making her rush down to the ground with him. Sasuke and Kakashi slowly opened their eyes, still having the sock in their hands. All four of them felt like they would puke any second, which Sakura almost did thanks to Naruto adding more movement. Naruto, Sakura, and a bit of Kakashi and Sasuke wish they never need to redo that again, Naruto would rather actually jump off a cliff than that weird port key experience again. When Naruto and Sakura get their bearings back, Naruto helped Sakura off of the wooden floor. The sound of people eating, talking, running, and shouting filled their ears, the smell of rich, hot food, cold sour drinks hit their noses. Making all of them hum a tad. As they looked around -over the bar, they were standing behind-, they found themself getting stared at by few men and women who wore funny, long looking clothes. Others didn't give a damn about the ninja who had teleported here. The place itself was an old, dusty bar, it was a bit shabby but a nice looking place overall.

'This must be the Leaky Cauldron, Tuanade-Sama was talking about..' Kakashi thought, looking around at the bar and it's people before turning his head to look at his students, who had pale faces of confucian, amusement, and hunger but mostly nausea. "Are you three alright?" He asked his student with a bit of a cough, himself wasn't feeling all too good about whatever they did.

Kakashi was about to ask Sasuke to let go of the sock when someone caught his attention from the corner of his grey eyes. The person was a middle aged man with fluffy but shaggy light brown hair, pink and silver colored scars were all over the man's face. One went across his nose, reminding him of Iruka, a couple pink scars came up from his dress shirt and onto his jaw. A scar ran across the man's left check diagonally over his nose and onto his forehead on the right side. Another one did the same but lower, just barely missing the man's right eye. Two or three small pink scars went across the man's lips, whoever did this, it looked like they were trying to rip off the man's lips. But none of the ninjas paid mind to the man's scars. The clothes the light haired man wore were funny looking like the others, but looked more fancy and expensive then what the other people wore in the room. A thick black, long robe that went to his ankles. Brown dressing shoes, and long sleeved shirt underneath his jacket. His hands were shoved into his robe's pockets.

Next to the brown haired man was a short young woman, who had bright pink hair that went to her shoulders, it was messy pulled down into a short ponytail. She looked happily at the four Shinobi, as if she was already friends with them. Which Naruto joyfully smiled back at her, beaming with kindness.

"You must be the people Dumbledore was telling us to pick up?" The tall man asked, the three students looked focused at the guy, not understanding a single word that came out of his mouth.

Kakashi looked at his students for a quick second before turning to face the man, "Sorry they can't understand, they dot… mm don't? Speak English." Kakashi pointed at the three behind me, himself couldn't really understand English or speak it but he has been to the states once, so he knows a bit.

The man and woman shared a look with each other, the brown haired man recognized his mistake and was about to take something out of his robes but Kakashi immediately shook him off with his hands. "No no, we do-don't need help ith that. Mm half a second." Kakashi stated to the two adults, he turned back to his students and lifted one of his fingers to touch each of their throats, sending chakra to them. "Alright speak." Kakashi asked the three.

Mumbling a few words to themselves, Sakura was the first to speak up, "Can you understand us now?" Her voice stumbling, not used to the icky feeling in her throat. Though she was speaking in Japanese, the words that came out sounded like English.

"Ah yes we can, do you want us to place a spell so can you understand us?" The man questioned, reaching for the thing in his robes again.

"Yes please." Kakashi slightly bowed, which the man grabbed a stick from his robes' pockets. Pointing the thing at himself and the young woman, he mumbled something under his breath, it sounded like 'Translationrowor' but Kakashi didn't really know. A shiver went up both of the robed people's backs.

"We can understand each other now?" He asked, he spoke Japanese. He shoved the wooden stick back into his robes, all four of them nodded to the man, Naruto and Sasuke looked surprised that they could understand the dude. "Alright so we all need to practice each other's languages, so we don't need to use spells or whatever you used." He noted, "We have books for you to understand English." He pointed up to the roof.

Kakashi touched his own neck for a second, sending chakra to himself before speaking, "Yes that would be nice. Sakura would you help Naruto and Sasuke with English, we don't want to keep annoying them, so study up. We will be heading to hogwarts with kids who can't use spells with this man." Kakashi turned back to his students.

Kakashi turned back to the two, sighing to himself that he keep turning to look at the two groups, "I'm Kakashi Hatake, I am the leader of this team, pinky is Sakura Haruno, the grumpy looking one is Sasuke Uchiha, and the grinning one is Naruto Uzumaki." He pointed behind himself at them all, "And you must be Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks? Excuse us for not introducing ourselves sooner." Kakashi slightly bowed again, which Sakura did too.

"Ah no need for that, we too are sorry for not confirming who we are." Remus apologized, waving off Kakashi and Sakura. "And yes we are the two. Nymphadora doesn't really enjoy her first name so please call her Tonks or Dora." Remus stated, pointing to Tonks.

"Lovely to meet you lot but we should really get going, we might be late to the meeting." Tonks said to Remus, who nodded to her. "We will explain everything when we get to the meeting spot, you will meet Dumbledore there." She informed them, she reached into her black bag and took a small brown pouch out of it. Tonks walked to the stone chimney that -was shining with yellow and orange fire- was behind her and Remus.

All four ninjas stared confused at the young woman as she stepped right in front of the burning fire, Tonk spun around and grinned at the all before throwing something into the fire, the said fire turned a bright green color, Tonks quickly stepped backwards into the green fire while shouting loudly, "Number 12, Grimmauld Place!" The yell shook everyone out of their sets, turning the attention from their food and looked at the girl. Her whole body was swallowed whole by the green flames, she completely disappeared, nothing but the flicking fire that turned back at the orange and yellow color like a normal fire.

The four foreigners looked at the fire, then Remus -who looked like it was an everyday thing- then each other in wonder and confusion, even Kakashi looked surprised. A chuckle came from Naruto before he boomed out, "W-wow that was cool, wasn't it? How did she do that? Wouldn't it hurt? How did the fire turn green like that? You know every time I try to do that, it burns y'know?" Baritone rated, waving his hands to himself then back to the fire over and over until he was done.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto from the corner of his eye, who was on his left, same as Sakura. 'Did this idiot seriously put himself in a fire? Dumbass…' He thought, focusing back on Remus who began to talk again, Remus reminded Sasuke of Naruto and how he talks with his hands every time he does anything.

"Okay, take a handful of this powder -which is called floo- and throw it into the fire before walking into, then you step into the fireplace, you need to shout 'Grimmauld Place' as clearly as possible." Remus pulled out a jar of green powder, shaking it but from them to look at. "There is nothing to worry about, it doesn't hurt just tickles a tad." He reassured with a kind smile, "Who wants to go first? I need to be the last to make sure everyone gets there safe." Remus told, sticking out of the jar of floo powder from them all. Naruto immediately raised his hand high, waving it back and forth with an excited little kid.

Sasuke glanced back at his dobe and rolled his black eyes at the idiot, 'Typical Naruto, so pumped up and absolutely cute as always… wait what? I know I like him but I shouldn't think that…' The young Uchiha shook his thoughts away from his mind, Sakura looked over Naruto and at Sasuke, with a curious expression on her face. She wondered why he just shook his head for no reason, she watched him as he watched Naruto, who was laughing and grabbed a bit of the powder and threw it into the fire, and shouted the words as he disappeared into the green flames.

Sasuke ignored Sakura's intense gaze, went back to his thoughts though he was a bit worried about Naruto and going somewhere else. Sasuke was very happy when he heard that Sakura and Ino started dating each other, two fangirl less was always good. Though the rest of them seemed to not notice him at all swings he got back, well he couldn't care less, he had Naruto and Naruto was all he needed and wanted.

The most important thing for Sasuke was that Naruto trusted him -and was alive- but he would never admit that to anyone but himself. Sasuke tried his best to make it as easy as possible for Naruto, he did everything the elders wanted and says, he hardly ever complained about anything, because Sasuke was Naruto's responsibility and if Sasuke got in trouble, Naruto would also get in trouble for whatever Sasuke did. "Sasuke you're next, come on." Kakashi ripped Sasuke out of his rushing thoughts, Sasuke took a handful of floo and stood in front of the fireplace, throwing the powder in and stepping into the green flames while shouting 'Grimmauld Place!'

Sakura followed shortly after Sasuke, doing the same as him, then Kakashi and lastly Remus. The same feeling of his stomach churning hit him again, but luckily it wasn't as bad as before. As Kakashi felt the spinning stop, he opened his eyes. Sasuke and Sakura stood in front of him, while Naruto was laughing on the ground with ash all over his face. "That was amazing! We were in a bar and now an old house! Wow!" Naruto beamed, pulling himself off of the wood floor as Kakashi stepped out of the tickling fire.

The room they were standing in was shaped like a rectangle, cabinets, cupboards, and counters -that were all filled with plates, cups, mugs, bows, pans, pots, and utensils- were covering the concrete walls that were a pinkish color, which was chipped in some spots. The one window in the room was tinted so much with dust that -was swimming around the room it was almost foggy- they couldn't see out of it. To the back of the room, on the left side was an old stove top with large black pots on top of it. A short brown table was covered with wooden spoons, forks, rolling pins, grater, messing spoons, spatulas, cutters, and knives. A tall door was to their left, which seemed to lead to a sitting or living room. Right in front of them was a light brown table that was almost longer than the room itself, glass cups, shining grey plates and utensils were placed on the said table. Half of the table that chairs pushed into it while the other half was empty.

Tonk was sitting in one of the many chairs, with her feet up onto the table but set them down and started to walk out the pink door. "You can sit down, Dumbledore will be here sooner or later." She finished his sentence and walked out of the room while closing the door behind her, leaving the four ninja and Remus, who scooted past them and sat down, his hand in his robe's pockets. Which the four quickly followed shortly after him, as Naruto sat down he looked around at the kitchen but dining room. It reminded him of his apartment back in Konoha, it was messy and dusty but cosy and warm, though there was this dark color to everything.

After a few minutes of waiting for the said man, the door was pushed back open. A rather tall but skinny, old man came in -not as scrawny as Remus but close-, he had a long, grey colored beard that reached past his stomach, that had a little hair tie at the end of it. His wavy light grey hair went past his shoulders. The old man wore long, thin light blue robes that went further than his feet, under that was a thin white and blue mesh looking gown, on his head was a grey bow looking hat. A pair of crescent glasses were on top of his slim nose, behind them were bright blue eyes that started down at the foreigners with his lips curled into a cheerful smile. "Ah Hullo, I hope you had a pleasant journey coming here, the way we travel is a bit uncanny if I do say. I do believe the Hokage has already told you about me, but just in case I am Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts." Albus walked fully into the room while introducing himself. "It is my pleasure to meet you all, and wish for a good cooperation on this mission." He sighed, he walked over to the table and sat down. His knees hitting the underside of the table, "Would anyone enjoy a Lemon Drop, I have too many." Almus smiled with his eyes closed, he had a yellow rapper in his hands and held it out.
