Snake Lords
"Takes place around when Naruto comes back with Jiriya. Sasuke is still with Orochimaru. So yeah, they're all around 15 or 16. A Naruto and Harry Potter Crossover. I'm not sticking to the plots of either series."
Thinking
"Yelling"
Dragon Man 180: Well, the whole sand thing, it was supposed to be like Gaara freaked out so badly, that the sand thought he was in pain and tried to protect him. Since there was nothing to protect Gaara from, the sand just kinda went 'splat' everywhere.
On with the story!
Chpt 6: Enter: Hogwart Students!
"AKK! I've got rug-burn!" Yelled Naruto. His skin was very irritated and bright pink. He quickly ran to the bathroom turning on the cold water in the tub and jumped in. Then when he came out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a towel around his waist. Hinata turned bright red and almost passed out. And everyone else started throwing things at him, and yelling at him to go get dressed. When he came back, Sakura started her tedious explanation of potions ingredients.
…………………………
The month passed by quickly. All of them had mastered the basics of magic, and quite a bit of more advanced magic. None of them were terribly good at Potions, except for Sakura of course, but were good enough to scrape a passing grade. However, there was one thing none of them had mastered at all.
"AAAAGGHHH! I'M SICK OF IT! THESE DAMN THINGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO USE! FROM NOW ON I'M USING MY HANDS!" Naruto had furiously thrown down his fork and knife on the table and started picking up ramen noodles with his hands. The one thing no one was good at, was eating with normal utensils. At best, they could get something onto the fork and, if they were fast enough, shove it into their mouth.
"Calm down Naruto, we have to eat like this." Neji told him struggling to get some chow mein on his fork, failing miserably. "Oh to heck with it, I'm using my hands too!" Neji angrily dropped his fork and knife and picked up a small handful of the food stuffs and shoved it into his mouth. Instantly, Ten-ten started laughing, unfortunately, her mouth was full and she started choking. Hinata thumped Ten-ten hard on her back, dislodging the food from her air tube. Then she promptly went back to laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Neji.
"Yo-gasp- you're-ha- dribbling hahaha!" Ten-ten fell from her seat to the floor holding her sides from the pain of laughing so hard.
"Wha… oh crap. Well, at least our robes are black." Neji said as he wiped the mess from his face and clothes. At that moment, Dumbledore walked in.
"Please get up Ten-ten, I have something to tell you all." Ten-ten staggered up, only to slip on Neji's fallen knife, and fall down again.
"I think I'll just listen from down here Professor Dumbledore."
"Fair enough. Now, you'll all have to leave Hogwarts…" but he was very rudely interrupted.
"WHAT? LEAVE HOGWARTS? WERE WE THAT BAD AT MAGIC?" screamed Naruto.
"How come I am never able to finish what I'm saying when you're around Naruto?"
"Sorry Professor Dumbledore."
"Now, as I was saying, you'll all have to leave Hogwarts because you will 'pretend' to arrive at the same time as the other students. This means you will go to King's Cross station and ride the Hogwarts train back with the other students. This will help you all be less noticeable by others. You don't have to pack any of your things, just finish eating, and come meet me at the front gate in the clothes that I gave you yesterday. You know, the jeans and shirts and such." Everyone nodded, "Students are supposed to change into robes on the train so bring them along. Hurry up now." Everyone started shoving food into their mouths as fast as they could. (A.N: Which wasn't very fast, considering their skills with eating.)
…………………………
They were all outside with Dumbledore.
"Now, here are your tickets everyone." Dumbledore said as he handed out small slips of red paper, "You will be taking another Portkey," At this, everyone groaned, " to a back ally near King's Cross. When you enter King's Cross, you will go to platform 9 and ¾. This is the odd part. You must walk straight through the brick barrier, between platforms 9 and 10. No matter how solid it looks, you can walk through it." Dumbledore said pointing to the Portkey they were to use. "I will see you later tonight. Goodbye everyone!"
Everyone took a deep breath, and touched the old boot that was the Portkey. The gut-wrenching feeling took hold of all of them. This time, no one said anything because they were all feeling too horrible to even attempt to open their mouths. They finally reached the ally an eternity later. Everyone collapsed onto their knees, some clutching their stomachs, some covering their mouths, while the rest were retching horribly farther back in the ally.
When everyone had calmed their stomachs, they walked into King's Cross station.
"YOSH! LETS GO GUYS!" Lee yelled, running for a brick wall. He immediately crashed and fell down to the floor.
"Umm… Lee? That was the barrier between 8 and 9." Said Shikamaru. Lee got up and joined the rest of them with that stupid grin still on his face after the crash. One by one they walked through the barrier, arriving at a scarlet steam engine that had the words: Hogwarts Express, streamlined across it.
Entering the doors, they were looking for seats. There wasn't a single compartment with enough room for all of them so far. So they just kept walking until they were at the last compartment. This one was empty, with the exception of several people.
Sliding open the door, they received looks from the people sitting
"Eerr… hi. All the other compartments are full, and we were wondering if we could sit here." Muttered Kiba.
"Sure no problem. There's plenty of seats." Said a boy with messy black hair and a lightning bolt scar upon his forehead.
"Thanks." All of them took a seat. No one spoke for the longest time.
"So… who are you guys? I haven't seen any of you before." Asked the messy-haired boy. In turn they all told their names.
"Shikamaru."
"Ino."
"Chou-munch-ji."
"H-hinata."
"Kiba."
"Shino."
"NARUTO!"
"Sakura."
"Gaara."
"Temari."
"Kankurou."
"Neji."
"Ten-ten."
"AND ROCK LEE! THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN BEAST OF KO-glag-." Ten-ten had put Lee in a headlock to stop him from saying Konoha.
"Don't pay attention to this idiot, he scares everyone." Ten-ten said while forcing out a laugh. "Well, what are your names?" Ten-ten said trying to change the subject.
"I'm Neville."
"I'm Luna. Luna Lovegood."
"And I'm Harry Potter." There was another moment of silence. Than Harry spoke again. "How come I've never seen you guys around before?"
"Oh, umm… we're exchange students from Japan." Just then, the compartment door slid opened, a tall lanky redheaded boy, and a bushy haired girl, both wearing shiny prefect badges, stumbled into the compartment arguing.
"I still say that he deserves detention." Said the girl.
"Come on Hermione, he was just having fun!" retorted the boy. "Honestly casting a…" and here he stopped gawking at the amount of people in the compartment. "Blimey! I don't think there have ever been this many people back here! Hey Harry, who are these people?"
"Well Ron, these guys are foreign exchange students from Japan. That's Shikamaru, that's Chouji, and that's…" he went on and on listing each of their names in turn.
"Well, they don't look very Japenese." This 'Ron' person said.
"Well we are so deal with it." Kankurou said back.
"Hi everyone! I'm Hermione. Don't pay attention to Ron, he always prejudges people. I didn't know that Dumbledore was arranging for exchange students. Say, what house are you all in?" The girl said all this so fast, and all in one breath.
"We're all in Gryfinndor." Naruto said.
"Huh, how weird of all of you to end up in the same house. No matter. We're going to be arriving at Hogwarts soon so you'd better get in your robes."
Everyone started to get changed when the door opened once again. This time, there was a boy with sleek blond hair, accompanied by two ugly brutes who were cracking their knuckles.
"Well, well, well. I there's been a rumor about some exchange students coming to Hogwarts and I guess it was right. My, you are a very stupid looking bunch. Especially you two." The nasty kid said, pointing to Neji and Hinata. "You two blind or something?"
"LAY OFF HINATA AND NEJI YOU DUMBASS!" Naruto said raising a quivering fist.
"Ooh! I'm so scared! Whadd'ya gonna do loser? Come any closer and I'll sick Crabbe and Goyle on you." At this all the ninjas stopped in their tracks. They all started to snicker, then, every single one of them cracked up laughing and started rolling on the floor. Even Shino. Everyone else in the compartment just stared at them like they were nuts or something.
"Those two –hahaha- babies?" Kiba said with tears pouring out of his eyes. "Hey guys? Do you think that they could even give a sissy hit to any of us? Do ya think they could-gasp- touch you Hinata?"
"There's n-gasp- n-no way those two could even g-give a-any of us a single scratch!" Hinata half sniggered, half whispered.
At that last statement, Crabbe lost it and charged straight at Kiba with a balled fist only to hit thin air.
"Wha…? Where'd he go?" Crabbe asked scratching his head. Then someone tapped his shoulder.
"Hey fatso, behind you." Kiba had moved too fast for anyone who wasn't a ninja to follow. To the ninja's, Kiba had merely ducked and gone under his legs pretty slowly. But, then again, it's not like any of the others were fast enough to follow him. Right then, Kiba opened his jacket, letting Akamaru (A.N: Of course, as we all know, Akamaru's a cat.) leap onto Crabbe's head to start shredding his head to bits. Crabbe soon passed out from blood loss.
"Good job, Akamaru."
"Mew mew meow."
"HEY! DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT! THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!"
"Mew reoww…"
"Shh… not in front of everyone! You know that's a secret!" Everyone stared as Kiba franticly tried to shush Akamaru. Of course, it didn't matter. No one had the faintest idea of what they were talking about in the first place.
"AAAHHH!" Goyle yelled. Naruto had suddenly appeared in front of him almost out of nowhere.
"Hmmm… just as I thought. Neji! This loser isn't even at an Ac.S's level. (A.N: They made up a special code for ninja terms so that no one at Hogwarts will know what they're talking about. Ac.S stands for Academy Student.) I say you teach these two a lesson anyways for insulting your family name." Naruto suggested.
"Hmm," Neji said thinking, "How about I get the big stupid one and you can have the grease-ball Hinata-sama?"
"Oh sure. W-whatever sounds good to y-you nii-san." Hinata said back.
"I'll go first." Said Neji. Better just to punch him out and not use any Chakra system attacks. People might get suspicious. This was probably the only time anyone else would see him actually use a clenched fist. At first, Goyle threw a punch. Quite obviously, Neji dodged it. Then he threw another. Neji was annoyed by now and grabbed his hand in midair. Squeezing hard, Neji steadily increased the pressure, snappping it.
Goyle screamed in agony clutching his broken wrist to his chest. Neji then swiftly punched him in the diaphragm, knocking him out.
Malfoy stepped back, drawing out his wand. Seeing how his bodyguards were taken out, just like that, and remembering the time Hermione had punched him, he was paper-white.
"Don't come a-any closer. I'm warning you!" stuttered Malfoy. He shakily fired a hex at Hinata, who was walking towards him, but was so twitchy, he missed by several feet. He then ripped open the door and fled down the hall.
"And take your garbage with you!" they said as they threw the two, unconscious, henchmen out into the hallway.
"Man, those guys are losers. Did you see their faces?" Sakura said. They all sat down again, only to notice that Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Harry were gaping at them with their mouths resting on the floor. There was a sharp intake of breath. Maybe they revealed too much.
"That… that was… amazing!" stammered Ron. "How did you beat those guys senseless without even blinking?"
"Well… we… we all take martial arts classes!" Temari and Ino quickly made up and said at the same time.
"Geez, remind me not to tick you guys off!" muttered Harry. For the remainder of the train ride, they all just chatted about different things, keeping away from the subject of their 'martial arts' classes
…………………………
They had just stepped off the train and started towards the carriages that were to take them to the castle.
They were divided into their normal groups to ride in the carriges (A.N: Most of the Naruto characters could see the horses because as you know, most of them have seen people die.)
Gai's carriage
Ten-ten was forced to sit next to Neji because Lee was way too jumpy and kept bouncing up and down in his seat talking about how great squirrels are. No one should have to bear to that. She kept her eyes glued to the ground no matter how many times the Hyuuga glanced at her. Then, it happened. There was a bump in the road.
Ten-ten had fallen to the floor, Neji had fallen right next to her. Their faces were centimeters apart from each other. Nobody, not even Lee, said anything. It was like that for several minutes. Then Ten-ten screamed, opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and started running for the school.
I don't get it. Ever since we came here, Ten-ten's been acting so strange. She keeps shutting everyone out and ignoring people a lot. Now she gets spazy, and decides to take a moonlight run to the school. I guess girls are just weird that way. Neji concluded. Wait a second, why do I even care?
Normal POV; Great Hall
The Potter Gang sat in the center of the group of ninjas. They were all talking when Dumbledore stood up and tapped his glass, waiting for everyone's attention.
"Ahh. Another year. It is time for the sorting!" He sat down again. For about an hour, the brand new first-years were sorted into their respective houses. This year, for the first ever, there were more first-years sorted into Slytherin then in any other house. Gryfiindor came in second, but there was a large gap between the two.
Soon, there were huge platters of food appearing out of nowhere on the tables.
"NOOO!" It was Naruto, apparently, out of all the food on the table, there wasn't a single strand of ramen in sight. He was crying waterfalls all over Sakura, who was sitting next to him. Something snapped, and Sakura started to pummel Naruto into the ground.
Next came the dessert. Eventually, that all disappeared too and Dumbledore stood up once again
"Now, since we have all eaten, it is my pleasure to announce that we are starting a Japanese exchange student program. Stand up please." They all stood up so that the Hogwarts students could get a better look at them. There were many cold glares from Slytherin. A little too cold.
"If these students need any help navigating the school, you would be so kind as to point them in the right direction." Dumbledore said, completely knowing that they already knew the school's layout. "Now, it is time for us to sing the school anthem."
Ten-ten and Neji franticly started looking for their ear-plugs, but they weren't there. Both of them let out a terrified scream and tried running out of the Great Hall. However, they were stopped by the caretaker, Argus Filch.
He dragged them back to the Gryffindor table by their feet, no matter how much they struggled, yelled, or cried. Their fingernails were making huge ditches in the floor from trying to scramble out of the caretaker's grasp. They were thrown back down at Gryffindors' table, both looked like mice being terrified by some gigantic cat. They dove under the table with their hands over their ears and waited for the worst.
"What's wrong with you two…?" asked Naruto. Then he remembered that day when Ten-ten woke Neji up with the threat of Lee singing. Well, they must be over-reacting. No one can actually be that bad… can they? But it was too late to consider further because Dumbledore had just spelled out the words with his wand.
Everyone watched Lee with round eyes as he puffed out his chest and blasted out a horribly, flat, scratchy 'A' note.
"HOGWARTS, H-O-GWARTS, H-O-GGY WART-Y- HAGWARTS!"
It was the most traumatizing moment any of them had ever experienced. That wretched wailing was too much for them to handle. They all fell over anime style holding their hands to their ears, and wavy tears streaming out of their eyes. Naruto was wrong. Nobody can be that bad of a singer. They could be a heck of a lot worse. For the next few minutes, that horrible droning voice just kept going, and going, and going. They all felt sorry for Neji and Ten-ten who had to endure this everyday, except with Gai too.
Lee sang (A.N: I, for one, would say the word 'sang' is really pushing it) out his last off-key note. He looked around and saw that every person in the Great Hall was lying on the floor, twitching, except for Dumbledore, who looked like he had had a blow horn set off right next to his ear.
"Well… that… that was… very nice, Lee. Well… you're all dismissed then…" Immediately, every single person in the Great Hall got up and ran for the door before Lee could give an encore performance.
…………………………
"HOW DID YOU GUYS SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD?" Everyone wanted to know how Neji and Ten-ten had survived the bushy-eyebrowed duo and not experience a mental breakdown.
"Well," said Neji, "It's actually thanks to these babies." Neji and Ten-ten held up their earplugs.
"We found ours under the table and put them in just before Lee started singing." Ten-ten said. "You guys should get a pair. They're dead useful."
"We already did!" Everyone held up a set of earplugs. They went and bought some online as soon as they came back from the Great Hall.
"-YAWN-! I dunno about you guys, but I'm gonna go to bed and when I wake up tomorrow, this'll all be a dream." Shikamaru said. Everyone else joined him. Every person at Hogwarts dreamed about a certain big-eyebrowed freak, with a bowl haircut, that wore all green under his black robes, who was singing. Except for that certain freak, who was dreaming about teaching a squirrel the nice-guy pose and teeth ping.
…………………………
Yey! Chapter 6 is up! I hope you wore your earplugs this chapter, cause I did! In the part where Kiba and Akamaru are argueing, use your imagination to come up with whatever you think Akamaru said. Also, after tonight, the Potter Gang and the ninjas started hanging out with each other. Just so you know. Till then!
