A/N: I'd just like to thank the person who just reviewed this story. I'm the type of person who'll put the first chapter of a story on the net, then continue it based on whether or not I get reviews. This particular story is different in that I have already written the whole thing, but never bothered to put it online since no one was interested in it. I see that a lot of people look at it, but no one really reviewed it, so I basically forgot all about it. Now that I see that someone's reading it, I'll just put it online, since why not? Those of you who have been reading it, please review! The more reviews I get, the faster the next chapter comes up!

…Naruto and Lee parted, and Naruto headed for the lab. It was locked, and he stood outside the door with the others, searching for a familiar face. He recognized the red-haired boy from homeroom, and also two girls speaking quietly.

"Hey, you!" Naruto walked over to the boy. "I don't remember your name, but I know that you're from my homeroom class. I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"

The boy regarded him coldly. "I don't care."

Naruto tried to glare back, but the boy just looked away, bored. Sighing, he went over to the girls.

"Hey! Hey! I remember your names!" he said, delighted. "You're Haku, and the other girl…" he furrowed his eyebrows. The other girl blushed deep red and looked down.

Haku laughed, a tinkling sound that rang out as pure. "Actually, I'm a boy, but lots of people make that mistake. Hinata did, too." The blushing girl nodded, still not meeting Naruto's eyes.

"No way! You're the girliest-looking boy I've ever met," Naruto said, astounded.

"Oh, that's sweet," spoke up a snide voice from behind him. Naruto spun around. A Hispanic boy with a sneer on his face stood over him. "Every guy loves to be called a girl, huh, Haku?"

"It's okay. I don't min-" Haku began.

"Marco! Shut up and stop butting into others' business!" snapped a voice. A blond girl who was very tall looked at Naruto apologetically. "Sorry, Uzumaki; he was out of line. I'm Rachel."

"Ah! Teacher's here!" Haku said suddenly. They all turned.

Their professor was rather tall, and a little pale, as though he had been indoors for a tad too long. He had long, matted black hair that hung down just past flashing black eyes, and a nose so hooked he looked more like a toucan than a teacher. Professor Snape looked very intimidating, and they all fell silent, suddenly uncomfortable.

"Follow me, class." He ordered, unlocking the lab door. Haku and Naruto exchanged glances, then nervously followed him in.

"I have requested a small class, so that there will be fewer numbskulls who will blow up the lab," Snape began presently. "Which numbskull will be first to show off his meager skills?"

Naruto nearly choked. "I'll go!" he offered bravely, mainly because Marco had him in a headlock, and he'd have done anything to get away.

Those black, black eyes swiveled to Naruto. "Your name?"

"Er… Uzumaki Naruto!" he stated proudly. "I'm about as much of a numbskull as you can get!"

Hinata giggled, and Snape glared at her until she fell silent, red again. "That's minus five for your cheek, Naruto."

"Guess I'll just have a negative-five average," Naruto said flippantly. Snape looked murderous.

Right on cue, the door opened, and two kids fell in. one was tall and gangling with bright orange hair, and the other had jet-black hair, bright green eyes, glasses, and a scar on his forehead that resembled a lightning bolt.

"Sorry we're late," the latter panted. Then he looked at the teacher and froze. All traces of a smile had left his face. "N-not you!" he stuttered.

"Have a seat, Weasley," Snape snapped at the redhead. "Naruto, sit down. Looks like we've got a bigger numbskull in the class. Potter!" he barked. The black-haired boy, resigned, walked over to the teacher's desk.

"You called?"

"Potter and Weasley, along with two other students in this class, had me as their elementary school teacher. I can assure you, Potter and the lab are the most lethal mixture I've ever seen," Snape told the class.

One kid laughed appreciatively. "Good one, Professor!"

Snape graced him with a smile, then rounded on the rest of the class. "Is Draco the only one who understood that pun? You're all hopeless, event the so-called 'advanced student' I've been told is sitting here."

The redhead from Naruto's homeroom spoke up blankly. "A mixture is a chemical term for two elements combined into one, such as polyatomic ions." (A/N: I wrote this story while I was taking chem, but now I have now idea if anything I say here is true or if I was just making things up. Don't mind any errors!)

"Good, Gaara. I did hope we had one less numbskull than usual." Snape looked around the classroom. "First things first. Attendance! Draco- here of course."

The boy who had laughed earlier smiled sweetly. "Of course. Father specifically requested that I have your class."

"Haku!" Haku raised a hand.

"Potter!" Potter, still standing n front of Snape's desk, squirmed. Snape glared at him. "Sit down, Potter!"

"Hinata…Marco…Mo'steel…Neville…" Snape dropped the sheet, looking deathly pale. "I was afraid of this…not Longbottom…tell me it's a different Longbottom."

A boy in the back squeaked in fear. Snape turned to him, and started to cough. "What did I do to deserve this?" Snape demanded hoarsely. Naruto nervously edged forward, away from the kid. What was so scary about him?"

"Naruto," Snape said finally, and Naruto jumped.

"Here, and ready to learn!"

"Shut up. Rachel…Weasley…Vergere…Gaara. Everyone's here." He turned to Potter. "Potter! Let's see how much you know. What do you get when you mix three hydrogen molecules with an oxygen one?" Potter shrugged.

Snape frowned. "What will happen when you heat hydrated crystals? What is a mole?"

Potter slid down in his seat. "No clue."

"And now we see, class, the biggest idiot of all. Gaara!" Gaara blinked. "Answer the questions Potter could not!"

"Hydronium is made of three hydrogen and one oxygen. The crystals will turn white, and a mole is a number, also known as Avogadro's number, and is depicted as 61023." He fell silent, and Naruto wondered about the quiet genius who looked as though he wanted them all dead.

Neville moaned, and Naruto turned to look at the boy. He had been trying to take notes with a leaky pen, and some ink had gotten all over his hands and clothing.

"Longbottom, get yourself cleaned up," Snape snapped. "Class dismissed."

The bell rang then, and Naruto checked his schedule.

"Shoot…PE with some guy who refers to himself as Master. Sounds entertaining…"

Next up:

Naruto: Finally, a class I can ace!

Vergere: I don't think so. Did you see that guy Rett? He's thirty times your size!

Naruto: Obviously size doesn't matter- look at our teacher! He's …what? Two feet tall? And he's green. What kind of class is this, anyway?

Vergere: He's an excellent teacher, despite his size. And don't underestimate Master Yoda…
