Chapter 2: Potter's Bodyguards
Harry was at his place waiting for the others to arrive, as he had learned from Sirius that he's being relocated to the Burrow. But before that, some things have happened relating to his quest from the late Dumbledore. Firstly, when he came home, he and Sirius had a talk regarding the golden locket and the identity of R.A.B. From his conversation with Sirius, it seemed that the identity of R.A.B. was none other than Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius' little brother who had died a year before Harry was even born. Now from what Harry could remember from the Black family portrait, Regulus looked a lot like Sirius, except that he had short, but messy hair, a more youthful appearance, and has a rather pompous look. However when it came to the location of the actual locket, there were no leads as it seemed that the locket was hidden real well. Besides the locket, Harry had been keeping contact with his friends about what was going to happen. He even told Daphne about his plans to not return to the school to which she agreed, given that she and her sister weren't planning on coming back after Dumbledore died and the Wizarding World being in chaos.
Now speaking of friends, they have arrived along with a few others. "Hey Harry," Hermione and Ron greeted, as Harry gave them a hug. "Hey guys, wait where's Naruto?" Harry asked. "Right here. How have you been my friend?" Naruto said, entering the house. "Hey mate, it looks like you've been seeing better days," Harry stated, as Naruto chuckled. The two did their customary handshake, as the others arrived at the house. The others that joined were Fred and George, Bill, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Lupin, Fleur, Kingsley, Hagrid, Cedric, and Mundungus. "You know Naruto, I'm surprised Itachi, Gaara, and Killer Bee aren't here," Harry stated. "Itachi is doing some recon for me, whereas Bee is in Bulgaria training Gaara, but they can take care of themselves," Naruto explained, as Harry nodded. "Well, well, Remus you finally got hitched, didn't you?" Sirius asked with a smirk. Remus blushed, "Yeah…me and Tonks finally tied the knot. It was a quiet celebration, sorry for not notifying you about this," he said. "It's alright Moony, but seriously congratulations my friend, you deserve it," Sirius stated, patting his friend in the back.
"As much as I appreciate reunions, I believe it's time we get down to business. Time is of the essence," Kingsley stated. Everybody turned to Kingsley, as the wizard began to explain what the plan was. "As Dedalus probably told you, we had to abandon Plan A. Pius Thicknesse has gone over, which gives us a big problem. He's made it an imprisonable offense to connect this house to the Floo Network, place a Portkey here, or Apparate in or out. All done in the name of your protection, to prevent You-Know-Who getting in at you. Absolutely pointless, seeing as your mother's charm does that already. What he's really done is to stop you getting out of here safely. Now the second problem is that given that you are still underage, you are still being traced," Kingsley explained.
Harry wanted to protest this, but Kingsley gave him the look that made him drop what he was going to say. "Anyways since Plan A isn't going to work, I believe Plan B is the next option. Naruto, if you will?" he asked, as the blond wizard nodded. "Over the past few weeks, I have been operating as a vigilante and have been hunting down some Death Eaters, while also getting some intel regarding any plans. Two days ago, I learned from one of the Death Eaters that they're planning to ambush you to try and sabotage your escape to a safehouse. Now since we can't use a portkey or Apparition here, the next best option is to use vehicles the Ministry can't trace down: brooms, thestrals, Hagrid's motorbike, and my motorcycle." Harry nodded, even though the plan seems to have a flaw. "However, even I know that there is a flaw in this plan, which is why I improved upon it. You see we're going to split up into pairs to try and disorient the Death Eaters patrolling the skies. Each group is going to head into a safehouse that is affiliated with the order. My place is one of them, as I placed seals inside that can tell whether someone entering is friendly or hostile," Naruto explained.
"Now then since they are after you, that's where the plan really kicks in. You see, you are only one person Harry, but imagine multiple. That's why I'm going to create shadow clones disguised as you that will be paired up with a member of the order, so that the Death Eaters are disoriented and can't tell which is which, while you get to the safehouse," Naruto stated. The others agreed with the plan, as it's a better alternative than the Polyjuice potion. "Alright then, let's do this!" Naruto said as he made a couple of shadow clones. "Holy shit, kid you can do that?!" Sirius exclaimed. "Trust me, there's a lot more than this," Naruto stated, as the clones use the transformation jutsu to look like Harry. "Well guys, what do you think?" Naruto asked, as the clones admired themselves. "That should do nicely, now then let the plan begin," Kingsley stated.
Each Harry clone was paired up with someone in the order riding a broom, as the real Harry is going to fly with Hagrid on his motorbike, Bill is paired with Fleur as they ride a thestral, Ron was with Tonks, Sirius was with Remus, and Hermione was with Naruto on his motorcycle, which was a Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy from 1991. "Blimey Naruto, I didn't know you got yourself a Harley Davidson," the real Harry stated, looking pretty impressed. "Ah you went with a Fat Boy model, not bad, not bad at all," Sirius complimented. Naruto nodded, as he turned to Hermione. "Hold on tight, ok? It's going to be a bumpy ride," Naruto stated, as she nodded.
"On the count of three, we make for the rendezvous point. One…Two…" Kingsley counted. "Let's rev it up!" Naruto shouted, as everybody kicked off to the night sky. It was a good thing Naruto enchanted his motorcycle to fly, as the motorcycle soared into the night. But the motorcycle wasn't just flying, as Naruto applied some seals to make the wheels look like they were powered by chakra, just by how blue the wheels were. As they flew, out of nowhere, they were surrounded as thirty hooded figures were in the sky. An aerial battle took place, as everybody split to disorient the Death Eaters. While Naruto flew, Hermione was busy firing spells at the hooded figures. "Let's take this to the ground!" Hermione shouted, as Naruto nodded. He flew his motorcycle to a highway, as the Death Eaters followed suit. Both Naruto and Hermione see that Hagrid and Harry were there, busy on their end fighting and riding against the Death Eaters. The two groups went into separate tunnels, as the Death Eaters split up. Naruto, seeing this, smirked, as he took out his gunblade and fired at them using his firearm mode. Some of the Death Eaters fell to the ground with either a bullet piercing them or being run over by a car.
Some of them were advancing close, so Naruto, using blade mode, hacked and slashed them while still keeping his hands on the handle. "There's too many of them, what are we going to do?!" Hermione shouted, as she fired at the Death Eaters. Naruto was thinking as fast as he could when he remembered something from the movie Akira. He smirked, "Alright hold on, I got a plan," he said, as he boosted his speed. He swerved past a couple of cars, as the Death Eaters pursued them, but some of them got hit by vehicles or the walls as they were following them not paying attention to their surroundings. The blond managed to find an empty road that was scheduled for road work, as he exited the busy road. Using the empty road, he slid his motorcycle coming to a stop, as he took out his gunblade. Naruto goes into Kurama mode and when the Death Eaters are about to advance on them, he slashes his blade, causing a chakra wave that wiped out the remaining Death Eaters to ash. "Phew, well what do you think?" Naruto asked Hermione. "That was pretty reckless, you know? But other than that…it was pretty cool," she said, as she couldn't be mad at Naruto. "Don't worry, I'll try not to do that again. Anyways, let's get to the Burrow," Naruto stated, as she nodded.
With Harry
Harry was busy trying to keep the motorbike stable, as Hagrid was knocked out during the tunnel fight. They are back in the sky, as Harry sees Hedwig soaring in the sky. However, a Death Eater was on their tail following Harry and Hagrid. Hedwig saw this and distracted the Death Eater from attacking. The snow owl was flying in to protect Harry, when she was hit by the killing curse. "NOOOOO!" Harry shouted, as his pet and companion died protecting him. Harry was in tears, but he knew now wasn't the time for grieving, as he has to stay alive. The Death Eater vanishes, not planning to kill Harry, which confuses the scar-headed boy. Nevertheless, Harry continued flying the motorbike, with the unconscious Hagrid in tow. As he flew, Harry winced in pain, as if danger was approaching him. Sure enough, a dark smoke was approaching them, coming dangerously close. Harry tried opening his eyes, as he heard a sinister voice calling his name. Instinctively Harry took out his wand and was locked in a duel by none other than Voldemort himself. Green sparks fought against red sparks, as it was a clash of magic between the two. But in this tug of war, Voldemort's wand was beginning to show signs of cracking, as the bald snake man was looking shocked. Soon an explosion could be heard, as Harry used that moment of distraction to speed up. "Accio!" Harry shouted, pointing at the lever as the motorbike speeds up, with the thrusters bringing flames almost as if it were a dragon. "NOOOOO!" Voldemort shouted in rage, as electricity sparked around the area, causing transmission towers and lines to collapse, as blue sparks appeared in the darkness.
Harry sighed in relief, as he and Hagrid had made their escape. But the celebration didn't last long, as the motorbike's engine was starting to hiccup. Soon the motorbike was beginning to descend at a rather fast speed. "Come on! Come on!" Harry exclaimed, trying to get the brakes in so that they don't crash and break a couple of bones. But the brakes weren't working and they were really going down fast. Harry braced himself for impact. "Oh FU-" Harry shouted, until they crashed into a muddy pond.
Note: Hey guys, so I got a question from one of you guys about Naruto's motorcycle he drove in the first chapter. The motorcycle Naruto uses is the one the T-800 used in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, as I thought it would be a badass motorcycle for Naruto. Oh and about what Hermione thinks about the motorcycle, I'll just say that while she isn't as enthusiastic about motorcycles, she thinks its pretty cool of Naruto to ride this vehicle, as it makes him look like a Bad Boy. Anyways hope you guys like this chapter and feel free to review.
