Naruto Uzumaki and his time at Hogwarts Year 7: Deathly Hallows
Chapter 1: Vigilantism
It was a dark moonlit night, as two shadows approached a manor. The manor was owned by the Malfoy family for many generations, but it was now a base of operations for Voldemort and his Death Eaters. One of the two Death Eaters that entered the manor was none other than Severus Snape, former Hogwarts professor, Dumbledore's spy, and now branded as a traitor. When he opens the door, he sees that two dozen figures sit silently at a large ornate table, illuminated by the flickering light of a fireplace. Snape studies the scene, then his eyes rise. Revolving slowly near the ceiling, as if suspended by an invisible rope, is an unconscious woman.
Snape notices Lord Voldemort and his partner/second in command, Menma Uzumaki or rather Kurasame. "Severus. I was beginning to worry you'd lost your way. Come. I've saved you a seat," Voldemort offered. Snape nodded and took his seat, as he eyed Kurasame, in which the masked man noticed this but didn't say anything. "Ah I see you have noticed my second in command, Kurasame. Don't worry he means you no harm, as he is my personal bodyguard and my ally. He is rather quiet as of now, but he knows how to get the job done," Voldemort explained. Every single Death Eater eyed Snape cautiously, except for Draco who was staring at the unconscious woman, Lucius who was staring at his wand, while Narcissa looked straight ahead.
"Given our tremendous loss of Death Eaters ever since the incident at the Ministry, I have found wizards from all around the world who share similar interests as ours and I have immediately recruited them, as you see here," Voldemort mentioned. Now Snape recognized some of them, but the others were rather foreign and not known personally. "Tell me Severus, what news do you bring?" Voldemort asked. "It will happen Saturday next. At nightfall," Snape mentioned. "Where did you get this information?" Voldemort asked. "From the source we discussed," Snape finished. "I have heard differently, my lord. Dawlish, the Auror, let slip that the Potter boy will not be moved until the thirtieth of this month, the night before he turns seventeen," Yaxley mentioned.
"This is a false trail. The Auror Office no longer plays any part in the protection of Harry Potter. Those closest to him believe we have infiltrated the Ministry," Snape responded. Of course someone decided to make a quick joke about this situation, as everybody laughed until Voldemort silenced them. "Enough. Tell me where will the boy be taken?" Voldemort asked. "To a safehouse. Likely the home of someone in the Order. I'm told it has been given every manner of protection possible. Once there, it will be impractical to attack him. We may have compromised the Ministry, but there are those who remain loyal to him. As long as the Ministry stands, his allies will have the means at their disposal to insure his safety," Snape stated. "My lord, allow me the honor to kill the boy myself," Bellatrix offered.
"As inspiring as I find your bloodlust, Bellatrix, I must be the one to kill Harry Potter. But I face an unfortunate complication. It has recently come to my attention that my wand and Potter's share the same core. They are, in some ways, twins. We can wound but not fatally harm one another. Which means, if I am to kill him...I will have to do it with another's wand," Voldemort stated. Voldemort goes to inspect one of the wands and the victim he chooses is Lucius Malfoy. Lucius has been seeing better days, as he was looking rather disheveled and unkempt, given how he has been in house arrest mostly along with being paranoid. Lucius explained what his wand was made out of and as Voldemort inspected the wand, he snapped it. "Now then, tell me any news about the Uzumaki boy?" Voldemort asked. "From what information we gathered, Naruto Uzumaki hasn't been making any appearances in public, as nobody has been able to track him down. But we have been getting reports that some of the Death Eaters have been found dead and brutally dismembered by someone who has a vendetta against us. The perpetrator had left a calling card signaling that he is after us and most importantly you. We believe it to be the work of Naruto Uzumaki," Snape stated. Now that name has struck a chord with the Death Eaters, given that the blond Uzumaki was responsible for the losses they have accounted for. "Do not worry, my second in command will take care of him, isn't that right?" Voldemort asked. "It will be done, my lord," Kurasame stated.
Voldemort nodded and soon pointed his wand at the floating body. The body awakens, twitching from its invisible bonds. "For those of you who do not know, we are joined tonight by Miss Charity Burbage who until recently taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her specialty was Muggle studies. It is Miss Burbage's belief that Muggles are not so different from us. She would, given her way, have us mate with them. To her, the mixture of magical and Muggle blood is not an abomination but something to be encouraged. I, of course, take a contrary view. But we're all civilized here. All adults. We can agree to disagree," Voldemort said. The Death Eaters, except for the Malfoys, Snape, and Kurasame, laughed at that prospect. Charity's tear-streaked face revolves once more to face Snape, her voice hoarse with fear. "Severus, please. We're friends…" she begged. Snape was looking neutral, as he didn't want to blow his cover in the situation. Of course Voldemort killed her with Avada Kedavra, which caused her to be motionless, as only a lone tear drop was a sign of motion. Draco was shocked, if not scared of what happened. "Nagini…dinner…" Voldemort said, as the snake hissed and slithered onto the table before devouring her dinner.
Timeskip
Thursday, July 24th. The city streets of London are crowded for the summer holidays. It was raining hard tonight, as the city is lively when it came to tourism. But even in the rain, hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes. In the crowd, a hooded blond teenager wearing a gaiter mask walks through the crowd, as he observes his surroundings. The hooded blond teenager was none other than Naruto Uzumaki. His targets were a bunch of suspicious men, as he recognized those people entering a building that was near Diagon Alley. Those men were Death Eaters and thanks to Naruto's ability to sense negative emotions, he found where they were meeting. But the blond wasn't alone as a hooded man wearing an anbu mask was observing the scene playing out.
Naruto found a place where he could settle into his gear, as he took off the backpack. He puts on a darker variant of his stealth suit, which was black and gray, with some red mixed in and to finish it off, he dons a black version of his Kitsune mask. After putting on his stealth suit and strapping his chokuto on his back, Naruto got into position, as he eavesdropped on the conversation the Death Eaters were having. "I can't believe Lord Voldemort is having us take orders from his second in command. I mean who does this guy think he is, bossing us around?" one of the Death Eaters complained. "Yeah, I mean we never even heard of this guy Kurasame or whatever his name is and yet we're supposed to be under him. Heh honestly I'd rather just go back to being a low level grunt," another Death Eater complained. "Besides, who even is Kurasame?" a Death Eater asked. "I don't know him personally, but I heard rumors that he managed to impress the dark lord by taking out some of his men and was even offered the position as his second in command," another Death Eater explained.
"I heard that he really has a vendetta on that Naruto kid, I mean seriously if one of us mentions his name in front of him, he looks as if he was ready to kill one of us," one of them stated. "Yeah well, whenever he's with Lord Voldemort, he's as calm as he is deadly. Honestly the guy scares the shit out of me and I rather be under the command of Bellatrix or heck even Lord Voldemort instead of Kurasame. Think about it, he's the type of guy who would likely snap your neck in a heartbeat," some random Death Eater stated. The others agreed as well, before they went back to their mission briefing. "So what is our mission again?" one of the Death Eaters asked. "Well first off, we are tasked to find Naruto Uzumaki and where he is residing at. Hell, Kurasame stated that we have to find where his allies were located," some random Death Eater stated.
Having heard enough, Naruto turns to Itachi. "You ready Weasel?" Naruto asked. Itachi or rather Weasel nodded and the two began their infiltration. They snuck inside and took out some of the Death Eaters who were standing guard in one of the rooms. They found the room where the meeting took place, as they prepared for what was going to happen. Naruto used a spell to take out the lights, as the Death Eaters were yelling inside. "What the hell?! Who turned off the lights?!" one of them yelled. But before they could use Lumos, smoke bombs were thrown inside the room, disorienting them. Both Naruto and Itachi picked them off one by one and when the smoke cleared, there was only one Death Eater in the room. Panicking, the Death Eater made for an escape as Naruto began chasing the Death Eater.
The blond chased his target on the rooftops, as the rain dropped harder. But eventually his target is cornered, as Naruto walks slowly to the Death Eater. The Death Eater opens fire and a battle of spells ensues. The two fired their wands at each other, hoping one or the other would drop. Luckily Naruto was the victor, as he managed to bind the Death Eater before knocking him out. A few minutes later, the Death Eater wakes up to see that Naruto and Itachi were there, as the Death Eater was dangling off of a roof that was close to an alley. "I know you and your fellow Death Eaters were given an order from Kurasame, I've heard plenty so talk or else…" Naruto threatened. "You won't get shit out of me, I ain't telling you a damn thing," the Death Eater spat. "Well since you love talking big, how does it feel to have your magic sealed away? We'll see once you go splat," Naruto said sweetly. Before the Death Eater could ask, he was dropped from the rooftop. He screamed as he couldn't apparate away, but he didn't go splat as he came back up. "Talk or else this time I won't be catching you," Naruto said. The Death Eater sang like a canary, as he revealed what Kurasame was ordering them to do and what their plans were. Having heard enough, Naruto drops the Death Eater to the floor as the Death Eater has been flattened into a pancake. The blond looked at Itachi, who nodded as he had managed to get some of the information using his Mangekyo Sharingan. The two escaped before the authorities arrived.
The Next Day
A crowd was gathered in Diagon Alley, as Rufus Scrimgeour was making a speech. "Last night, there was an attack, but not towards the muggles, but rather our kind. A group of Death Eaters, some of them who have committed the worst atrocities our kind has ever seen, have been found murdered. While we may commend the person who would take the initiative to hunt down these criminals, that doesn't give them the right to act against the law and not allow the Aurors or the Department of Law to take justice by the book. Just know whoever you are, you will be found guilty of vigilantism and as such be treated no different than the Death Eaters. That is all," Scrimgeour stated in his speech, as reporters from the Daily Prophet began asking questions. Over at the crowd, Naruto was watching this as he was disguised so that no one could notice him.
He soon left Diagon Alley and drove his motorcycle back to his place. Yeah around the holiday season last year, Naruto had gotten his motorcycle license and it was a good thing Sirius had time to teach him how to ride one. 'I wish I could say that I'm making a difference, but people are afraid as of now. With Dumbledore gone, the Ministry is trying to keep the peace, but even then it still is not enough,' Naruto thought, as he drove on this rather gloomy day. Now Naruto could have apparated home if he wanted to, but he chose not to as he wanted to take in the sight of this gloomy city he calls home. 'The wizarding world is getting more violent now than ever. Murder. Vandalism. Kidnapping. Assault. It's almost as if the society we know is close to collapsing now more than ever. But I have to do something, push myself to fight back, even if it means risking my own life,' Naruto thought, as he finally reached home. The blond enters his house to see that it was empty, except for only Itachi being here.
After Dumbledore's funeral, Naruto figured that the people he knew wouldn't be safe with the looming threat out there. He talked with Tsunade about this and the busty blond knew Naruto didn't want this, but he had to keep her and Mito safe. So she chose to live with one of Jiraiya's colleagues living in the United States, who agreed to take them in for safety given that the colleague knows what it's like to deal with a family, since the colleague has a family of her own. As such, the Uzumaki residence felt empty given that Naruto's family is in hiding. Naruto sighed and went to the study room, to which he converted it into an intel room. As such he meets Itachi there, who is drinking some coffee as it is currently still morning time. "So what do we got?" Naruto asked, as he drank his cup of coffee. "Looking into the mind of the Death Eater we interrogated, it looks like they are planning to hunt down Harry as we speak. They got word of the information that the Order is planning to move Harry somewhere safe. More importantly it seems that Kurasame has given the order to have you and your friends hunted down," Itachi explained.
"Well that's just great. Well at least we're going to meet up tomorrow, but it looks like the plan might need to be changed," Naruto stated, as he sat down looking at the picture of him and his friends, while drinking his coffee. Itachi notices this, given how Naruto appears to be developing dark eye circles and isn't getting enough sleep. "Naruto, it's best you take a shower and get some sleep. You had a long night, so rest up," Itachi stated. Naruto looked at Itachi and sighed, figuring that he needs some rest given that the past few weeks, he had been doing these night activities almost every single day. Naruto takes one last look at the picture, before he goes to do as told.
Note: Hey guys, so for the opening of this chapter I took inspiration from The Deathly Hallows book and movie. But with the scene involving Naruto, I took inspiration from the movie The Batman, as I thought it would be cool to incorporate a scene like this to show Naruto taking the fight in his own hands. Anyways hope you guys like this chapter
