Chapter Two:
Rubeus Hagrid
The streets were crowded with bustling people coming in and out of the little stores next to them. Many of them didn't take a second look at the three teenagers who were sitting and standing shoulder to shoulder together against the wall of a closed-for-the-day peddler shop with their luggage. But the nosiest, mainly the women with top hats piled with fake feathers, stuck up their noses at the three civilians' attire and position.
Naruto was quiet fed up with their remarks they could hear.
"Look at them! I bet they're troublemakers..."
"I know! Julie, take a look at the blonde!"
"What filthy and strange clothing they wear! Worst than the people in cloaks yesterday me and Richard saw at Main Street..."
Naruto stared down his clothes. He was wearing an unbutton orange plait T-shirt over a black fishnet sleeveless tank, beige shorts that touched his knees, and blue sandals. Many of the shonobi, especially Kakashi and Iruka say he was spinning image of his father, Yondaime. He had long ago stopped wearing his orange jumpsuit when he grew out of it. His spiky blonde hair, which has gotten a bit bigger, longer, and frizzier, was held by his Leaf forehead protector. His electric blue eyes had became brighter and full of color, glimmering whenever the sunlight bounces out of it. His whisker scars became a bit less visible, sinking into his peach skin.
The passerby's scoffed and coughed falsely to insult his presence, oh Kami, they reminded him so much of the ignorant jerks who gave him the glares because—because he held the demon in him. Naruto would just have ignored them and waited patiently for the that Hagrid person but he couldn't. No, he couldn't. Something triggered his mind, a taboo.
He couldn't believe those passing women were making fun of HIM! The next HOKAGE! Aww...they're going to get a piece of his mind.
"SHUT UP YOU DAMN WENCH!" Naruto screamed bloody murder, "IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THEN SAY IT TO MY FACE!"
"Naruto!" Sakura held on to him tightly around the chest from behind, preventing the fox boy to pummel their ass, "Ignore them! Naruto, stop it! They're no one!"
"COME ON YOU OLD CRONES! YA YOU! IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY THEN DON'T SAY IT! GOT THAT! WHAT LITTLE FAKES YOU ARE! I SEE THE FEATHERS ON YOUR UGLY LAST SEASONAL HATS! THEY'RE FAKE! FAKE LIKE YOU! BORED OUT OF YOUR LIVES SO YOU TRY GOSSIPING AND CHATTERING LIKE FRICKING CHIPMUNKS! CRONE!"
"NARUTO!" Sakura grabbed onto the black of his orange plait T-shirt.
When Naruto almost got out of Sakura's strong hold, Sasuke immediately took charge by slamming Naruto against the brick wall putting him into a temporary trance. Sakura clasped her hands over her mouth, hushed by the sudden activity. The frightened women and men ran away from 'hooligans'. Naruto was breathing and gasping, he was too angry.
"Dammit, are you trying to ruin that fucking mission! You could have given away our spot!" Sasuke gritted his teeth and pressing Naruto harder into the wall. Naruto looked away and eased his muscles.
Sasuke let go of his shirt and Naruto fell down on his bottom, dusting down the grim he landed on. Sakura knelt down next to the fox boy.
"You okay?" she asked softly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Forget about them...they're much different from us, so they won't know about us..."
"Yeah...but the way they stare at me..." Naruto closed his eyes and looked deep into Sakura's green orbs.
"Be careful next time," Sakura smiled and got up, "Its okay for exploding, just don't kill them!" she teased. Naruto grinned back and stood up. Sasuke smirked.
"So when do you guys think this Hagrid would come?" Sakura asked, flipping her long pink hair over the shoulder, "He should meet us now..."
"Don't know how we could find him, I mean look at that crowd!" Naruto cried, pointing at the many walking people in overcoats, hats, and scarves behind where they stood.
"Well, the letter says 'we won't miss him'..." Sasuke looked over at a fold up parchment from his pants pocket, "I don't know how either..."
"Oh, yeh can see me from a mile, yeh know!" the three of them heard a soft chuckle behind them.
Sakura turned around and squealed. Both Naruto and Sasuke had wide eyes. There stood a towering giant of a man. His face was completely covered by a long, shaggy mane of hair, wild, tangled beard, and two beetle-black eyes. He was twice the size of a man and three times the butch. He wore a very large worn-out black overcoat with swade elbow-patches, an ugly orange and red scarf wrapped around his neck (if he has many), a gray buttoned shirt, a giant leather belt, black pants, and point-black rubber boots.
Inner Sakura: AHHH! GIANT! MONSTER! EK! 'Holy mother of pearl!'
"That's what that old man meant..." Sasuke mutters to himself, his eyes never leaving the form.
"Yeh from the Hidden Leaf Village, eh?" the giant said, chuckling once more, probably amused from their expressions. He held out a large hand with a fingerless mesh glove for a shake.
"Rubeus Hagrid! Call me Hagrid! Everyone does," the giant chortled. Naruto fidgeted and placed his hand on Hagrid's giant one, but the giant shook his whole arm. 'Ow...'
"Wha yeh names, now?" Hagrid smiled warmly, that's if they could see his smile under that mass of untamed brown beard after the big handshakes.
"S-Sakura Haruno," the pink-haired girl says, squealing at the end. She remembered that she should pronounce the first name before the last in a different manner in England. It was new but it made the boys remember the basic things they were suppose to do they had learned from Tsunade.
"Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto said, smiling. He wasn't afraid any more when he kept thinking up crazy things of how to defeat an enemy as huge as Hagrid.
"Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke whispered quietly, though loud enough to echo into the big man's ears.
"Good! Yeh look much different from the pictures good o' man Dumbledore gave me!" Hagrid smiled.
"Come on now! Let's get out of this here Muggle joint. We're going to Leaky Cauldron now..." Hagrid turned around, if he could, and walked away with the three following close behind with their luggage.
'Oh Kami, everyone's looking at us...' Sakura looked uneasily at the people who were staring at this ban of strange people cutting through them, especially at Hagrid.
'Damn nosey assholes!' Naruto began cursing under his breath. Sasuke shot deadly glares at a group of huddle people who shuddered at the presence of the giant of a man. Then Hagrid turned at a corner that no one...no one at all seems to notice. The three swore they felt a strong field of chakra when they passed through that corner.
There they stood in front of an old dark pub in a shadowy alley that smelled like old moldy socks or really good cheese, with a sign that hung by a black post with a gold etching of a big cauldron and a zigzagged crack from the rim to the middle, and big block letters that says: Leaky Cauldron Tavern.
"Is this where we're going to get our school things?" Sakura asked, dumbfounded like the boys, pulling lightly on Hagrid's sleeve.
"I don't think so...unless we're doing the flea market way," Naruto said tartly, his eyes scanning his surroundings.
"Oh! I thought dey might've included somethin' 'bout this in that pamphlet Hogwarts sent yeh," Hagrid scratched his beard, "Well, this is dey fast way to get to Diagon Alley to get yeh junk!"
"Another alley?" Sasuke mutters. The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched.
"Shit, this is a scary place," Naruto whispers into Sakura's ear, as she nodded along.
"This! Nah! Blimey, there's a even more scarier place than here! Knockturn Alley, yup, no son of a gun can do without goosebumps in there!" Hagrid chuckled, knocking on the hard wooden door of the pub, "Of course, dey got some good Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent, which makes yeh think there's bad and good in everythin'!"
"Did you understand him?" Naruto whispers to Sakura.
"No, I'm more of wondering how he heard us!" Sakura squealed yet again.
'Bakas...' Sasuke rolled his bored eyes.
After a short silent moment, they began to hear soft steps inside the Leaky Cauldron; the door began to open to reveal a short elder man with a wrinkled smile, a few crooked teeth, and rubbing his hands into his apron.
"What brings you here, Hagrid my boy!" the little man laughed, patting on Hagrid's wrist and greeting him like an old friend. Maybe they are.
"What do you like? The usual, hm?" the little old man chuckled, letting them in.
"No, no, Tom, not today, Albus Dumbledore's plans needs come first," Hagrid said pleasantly. The man named Tom nodded happily and opening the door wider, granting entrance.
When Hagrid got in, he gesturing the three teenagers to follow him. Naruto and Sasuke were able to take off their sandals when they felt someone's stares on them. They looked up questionably at Sakura who just stood there, leaning against the door frame with a small grin.
"Did you guys just forget about what the pamphlet says?" she giggled, "In Europe, we don't take off our shoes when we enter...silly..."
Naruto smiled apologetically while Sasuke grumbled under his breath, and followed the foxy boy up the small steps.
The pub was huge, much bigger and larger inside than outside, the three felt large amounts of chakra everywhere. Or what the wizards call it: 'magic'. There they saw a large bar area several drinking glasses and tankard were floating in midair being wiped independently by small white towels. The entire tavern was whimsically askew like the stairs were slightly twisted in an abstract way; the windows were oddly parallel-shaped and colored, paintings and photos hung on the wall were moving like real live characters, and many creatures that surprised Team Seven.
There were hags in tattered cloaks, small goblins, a pearly-white transparent ghost floating around, wizards and witches walking around casually engaging into small talk and their beverages. A bus boy was cleaning up a long wooden table with one hand and the other controlling the movement of unstacking old chairs. Small lit candles were floating around to give small dim light in the small tables hidden in the dark corners; the entire pub was quiet dark if it were not for the light given by a few small chandeliers.
Naruto walked passed a woman in an old purple cloak, drinking her sherry, when he saw the wizarding newspaper called the Daily Prophet he read about on the given pamphlet to fill in the basics of the wizarding world.
When Sakura saw a teapot zoom past her nose, she immediately grabbed Sasuke's arm and buried her face in the warm tender spot of his neck which made him drop his duffel bag and blush fiercely like a red tomato.
Inner Sakura: YIKES! 'Shit...'
"Gomen..." Sakura murmured and ran over to where Naruto is, still putting a bunch of question marks in Sasuke's head. 'You're still weird, Sakura...' he smirked.
Some of the so-called wizards and witches looked up to see the three of the strangest people they ever saw, well...to them. And the three stared back at them with the same reaction. When Naruto accidentally knocked into goblin, he had a surprise attack.
The little green goblin with an extra yellow eye on its forehead, a club in one hand, and in a turquoise cape, glared at the fox boy. In a high-pitched angry voice, he scolded him, "What! Never seen a goblin before!"
"Never met one before, heh heh..." Naruto put on a nervous smile and scratched the back of his head. The goblin whispered some words in a language they didn't understand and walked away, dragging his big club with him.
"Wow, I can't believe you offended him or something..." Sakura teased. Naruto rolled his eyes, slightly punched her arm causing both of them to giggle and walked with her behind Hagrid who was momentarily speaking with Tom, the barkeeper.
Then the two adults stopped and turned around to the teenagers. Tom smiled his wrinkled smile at them, "You three can leave your luggage here, you be staying here until tomorrow that is...when you go to your new school, Hogwarts!" Tom pointed at the corner by the stairs.
Team Seven nodded and threw off their suitcases and bags where Tom's gesture was pointing to, only getting their purses, wallets, and school supply list with them. Hagrid smiled.
"Okay, yeh tykes! Come with me!" Hagrid walked off again and the others followed him. They went through a double doors, and came up to a brick wall which seemed like a dead end.
"Huh?" the ninjas wrinkled their brows together with questionable looks at Hagrid, who unbutton part of his large overcoat. They watched him throw back his striped scarf and took out a silly pink umbrella with floral designs tied to his leather belt. Naruto cracked up.
"What the hell is that for!" Naruto cackled at Hagrid, who still maintained that pleasant calm smile.
"O' yeh find out..." the giant grinned as he tapped the brick wall three times on different bricks. They raised their brows and stared at this strange activity. Well everything at first was already strange. But something in their sensitive senses told them there was something behind the wall.
The brick he had touched quivered in the middle, a small hole appeared after the bricks began wriggling and it grew wider and wider. A second later, the four of them were facing a large archway (Big enough for Hagrid) that led to a cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight.
Team Seven had their enormous wide anime eyes plaster on their faces, like fishes above the water gaping for air; they were too speechless to say anything.
Inner Sakura: The pamphlet did not cover this... 'When that old man said it was a secret society, he wasn't kidding...'
There, as the four can clearly see, the cobbled street was filled with many different people doing their shopping dressed in old fashioned English attire, with feathered top hats, cloaks, and gloves, walking in and out of many different and strange shops that sold ware they never heard of. Old buildings of many colors, shops, and restaurants were stacked on top of another. They could see shops selling eel's eyes, barrels of bat spleens, cages of animals, silver instruments and telescopes, quills of many sizes, broomsticks, shops selling robes, cauldrons, wands, books, potion bottles...
'Oh...'
'My...'
'God...!'
So much they wanted to see; so long they wanted to suck in the picture of everything. Naruto kept poking at his teammates' shoulders or pulling on their sleeves to get their attention. Even Sasuke was amazed.
When they passed by with Hagrid who had the biggest advantage of all to cut through the groups of people, Team Seven had caught many eyes and many people who gawked at them. They stared at their strange clothes, their strange hair styles and colors, their eyes, and everything unique about them that stood out. Many of the girls giggled and gossiped with each other when Sasuke passed by.
'Here too! God...give me a break, damn fan girls...' Sasuke cursed under his breath, stuck his hands in his pockets and walked faster with the giant and his teammates.
Sakura felt uneasy when some of the boys whistled at her or stare at her while they walked and accidentally knocked into some of the store ware outside of the shops. Sasuke and Naruto felt a pang of anger when their female friend was 'eye-humped'. A/N: my friend's funny word
Sure she was the one of the prettiest of her age in the village but even the fan boys of her's would keep their lust down a notch.
"Go away..." Naruto snapped when one boy tried to make a 'move' on his pink-haired friend. When the boy spotted the glimmer bouncing off of Naruto's hidden kunai in his right palm, he walked away instantly.
"Naruto, what did I tell you before?" Sakura pulled the fox boy from attacking again. Naruto winced and slipped the knife back into his pouch, and walked close to her.
"What's got into you since we got here?" Sakura whispered to herself. The fox boy walked behind Hagrid, Sakura, and Sasuke when something caught his eye. He had to touch it.
