Description: AU Naruto/HP Crossover. When Voldemort looks east for allies, the east decides to send guards for Harry Potter. What happens when Chakra meets magic? And what happens when someone that knows both comes into the picture?
Disclaimer: I'm putting this here and saying it once: I don't own Harry Potter, I don't own Naruto. Anything that comes from either series is not mine, including spells, characters, some bits of plotline I took from HBP, Jutsu, and anything else I'm missing that first appeared in either Naruto or the Harry Potter Book Series. Anything that looks to be new and different, however, IS mine, and should be treated accordingly.
Disclaimer 2: Like I said, this is completely AU. For the Naruto Fans, I took the characters right after Naruto went off for the Fifth and learned Rasegan (I butchered the spelling of that, I know) and I made them 16. Also, I decided that I want the Hogwarts Students to have robes in their house colors. There was another Fan Fic that did that (don't remember where) but I decided I liked it, so I'm tailoring the robes in the same factor. The other big one is that I'm ignoring what JK did with Blaise Zabini and playing with him on my own. There will be other small things I probably change, just keep in mind this is AU and go with it, K:) Also, in response to any questions about ships, I divulge none of them. :-D
A/N: Gaaah, sorry it's taken me a while to update. This is due to two factors:
It's exam time. It started last week, and it doesn't end until May 18th. . I hate exams oh so very much. Then again, most people do.
I did have something started for Chapter Seven, a scene involving Kimi and a situation she doesn't come out on top in, but I hated it. I know I'm already toeing the line of Mary Sue now, and while I'd originally designed the scene to make her LESS perfect-seeming, all it turned out doing was making her seem like some princess that needs to be saved all the time. She's not the best fighter in the universe (I'd put her at Sakura's level combat-wise) but, like Sakura, she can hold her own for the most part.
Also, I was pleased to see someone put me in their C2 for crossovers. It gave me a happy tingly feeling.
Son Kenshin – Thank you so much for that. I had a feeling that I was butchering the spelling, but I left it as it was until someone told me otherwise. As for why they're not showing off their ninja skills, they're undercover as wizards. If the bad guys picked up on Jutsu going around, they would alter their plans to cover for ninja presence. That's also why they're not wearing their forehead guards. But, like all good intentions of keeping things hidden, someone'll use them rather soon.
A note to everyone who worries about Kimi's perfection – It's just a mask, don't worry. She honestly thinks that if they see her faults they'll either send her home or just destroy her, as there's NO way she could take on everyone. (She's not quite Super Kimi) However, you'll find out there's a perfectly logical reason for why she knows magic. I can promise her family wasn't slaughtered, she's not an orphan that got dumped in England for a while, she didn't do something amazing like capture a wizard and force them to teach her. Nah, her past is kinda boring except for one particular event and a few sad ones.
Also, I want a vote: Should I do this as two stories, or should I do it as one story, but with a few scenes as one shots (like, for instance, the picnic with Kiba and Hermione)? Let me know, I'm starting to lean towards the second way, as that way I can quit trying to completely avoid Naruto and company. But if you guys just want the two sides of the coin, I can do it that way too.
That's about all I can think of, and it's been almost a page of just Author's Notes and stuff, so I think it's about time I started the chapter, eh?
Oh, one more quick note: Hermione's birthday is September 19th. Just in case anyone was wondering.
A/N2: Thanks to Raiyevern for that catch, it's fixed now.
Chapter Seven: Party Time
All of the Gryffindor sixth years who were going decided to walk down in a group together before splitting off and going into the room in smaller groups. That way they would be doing their part in keeping a look out for professors before the party got into a full swing and the door became inaccessible. They wanted to ask Neville if he wanted to go, but when Harry, Naruto, and Kiba finally found him (using Akamaru to track him) they saw that he was busy tending to Green House One with Luna Lovegood. The shy looks over to her, and the faint blush on his cheeks made the boys grin at each other, clearly they shouldn't interrupt. They had tried talking to Ron, but he sealed the curtains shut with magic and apparently put a silencing spell inside his bed. So with a glance and a shrug, all of the boys got ready to go. Luckily for Naruto and Kiba, the Hokage had forseen the need to go to parties, so they had appropriate clothing packed for the occasion. Harry, who didn't have tons of muggle clothing, actually snuck everyone out to Hogsmeade with him so they could all pick out a few partying outfits for him. Another bonus to this is that Seamus managed to talk Harry into getting a pair of magical glasses instead of the muggle ones he had. They were unbreakable, couldn't be knocked off, and they could have spells put into them. They were also much thinner than Harry's current frames, and the lenses were more oval shaped.
Naruto's watch clicked to eight thirty just as the boys finally finished getting ready. Harry was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a T-Shirt for the muggle/wizard band Drop Kick Murphys. Harry was surprised to find out that they were actually wizards who played for both worlds, but as he loved their music from the moment he heard it, he didn't care. As usual, his hair remained untamed, by this point he'd given up on having neat hair, so just ran his fingers through it and was set. Naruto was wearing a pair of black pants and a black t-shirt with an orange button down shirt over it. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the buttons were undone. The shirt also very nicely hid the knives he brought with him, just in case. Kiba seemed very nervous. He was wearing the same outfit that he'd worn to the picnic, except he pushed up the arms of the sweater. Akamaru wouldn't be going in the party (he didn't like huge crowds, someone'd step on him) so he would be using the opportunity to explore the school for a bit. Once Dean and Seamus were finally ready, they trooped downstairs to wait for the girls in the common room.
They were soon rewarded for their wait. Lavander's brown hair was up in a nice twist, and she was clad in a pair of tight dark purple pants and a black halter top. Parvati was in a vinyl cat suit, a look that most people couldn't pull off, but she managed to do splendidly. Hermione, however, was wearing a pair of dark blue, boot cut flares and a pink tank top that went nicely with her skin. Naruto glanced over at Kiba and elbowed Harry so he wouldn't miss the stupefied grin on Kiba's face. Harry snickered, and the group was off.
"Why does it always take girls so long to get ready?" Draco complained. Out of the sixth year Slytherin boys, only Draco, Blaise, Sasuke, and Shino would be going to the party.
"They want to make sure they look perfect for us," Blaise replied smugly. Draco looked over at Sasuke, who merely shrugged.
"How should I know?" he asked. Shino let out a bit of a snort. The boys were dressed a bit fancier than the Gryffindors were. Draco was in black slacks and a button down silver silk shirt. Blaise was in khaki pants with a red sweater and a t-shirt underneath. Sasuke was wearing an outfit similar to Draco's, except his shirt and pants were both black, bringing out the blue in his hair. Shino, however, wouldn't wear any of the party clothes packed for him. Nothing Blaise could say or do would make the Japanese boy wear something different than the normal white trench coat outfit he always wore at home. Sasuke knew why – Shino was fully loaded with his bugs, and he didn't want anyone seeing them.
"You guys don't have to look so bored you know," came a voice from the stairs. They all turned to see Pansy standing at the top with a bright grin on her face. Her dress was a spaghetti strap that was tighter on top than the bottom, and ended just above her knees. She was wearing a pair of strapped heels that matched, and the entire outfit (along with her nails) matched the burgundy in her hair, which was curled at the ends but otherwise left to fall free. Daphne followed after her. Her red hair was pulled into a bun with some tendrils of carefully curled hair falling out artistically. She was wearing a pair of black knee high boots, a short black skirt, and a very light green blouse.
Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw the next girl. Hinata, who looked like she was nudged by Kimi a bit, was slowly walking down the stairs. She was wearing a pair of straight black slacks, flat shoes, and a lavender brocade top. The silk was a lighter purple, and it had what looked like small darker purple dragons embroidered in it. It was the first time Sasuke ever saw her looking like a girl, and he had to admit, it wasn't a bad look for her. Kimi was behind her. Her long hair was pulled out of her face into a braid, and she was wearing a pair of low riding dark blue jeans. Her top was a black tank top with a dark purple blouse over it. Blaise let out a wolf whistle at all of them, and as Kimi turned to say something, he saw a flash of what looked like a large, white scar on her shoulder. He couldn't really tell, as it was covered up by the blouse. It was put out of his mind for a moment though, as the group donned their Slytherin robes and walked up to the Room of Requirement.
When they got there, they saw a few students acting as look outs for professors. All was clear, so they slipped into the door. The room resembled a coat room. Sasuke saw Draco and Pansy slipping out of their robes, so he assumed this was where the first rule took effect. He made some knives were tucked into his outfit and securely hidden before slipping off his robe and putting it on a hanger that appeared in front of him. Next to him, he saw Blaise put the tip of his wand onto the tag hanging from it, and Sasuke did the same. The tag flashed and his robe disappeared.
"It's so we get our own robes back later," Blaise explained. The ninja all nodded, and another door appeared in front of them. As they walked through it, Sasuke felt a small tingling sensation.
"Did you feel that?" he whispered to Kimi.
"I think it was that charm they told us about," she whispered back.
"Sasuke! Kimi!"
Sasuke looked around the room for the source of the call. The room was dark, with some strobe lights along with other colored lights. In short, it looked like a club that he'd seen traveling once. The dance floor took up most of the middle of the room. Around it were a bunch of different sized tables. In one corner there was what looked like a counter, and as Sasuke watched, he saw food appearing as people went over to it. In the opposite corner from the food was what looked like a bar, which didn't seem to be tended by anyone, but was making drinks nonetheless. Finally, as the voice called to him again, he looked over and saw Lee and TenTen making their way over to their group.
"Glad you guys could make it," TenTen said with a grin. "Have you seen Sakura or Ino yet?"
"We just got here," Kimi replied. Lee, however, was staring at Hinata with a gobsmacked look on his face.
"Hinata? Is that you?" he asked, clearly stunned. Hinata blushed a bit and nodded. The music was winding up, and people were out on the floor. Draco bent over for a second, picked what looked like a purple poof ball up, and walked off in the direction of the dance floor.
"Erm, um…do you want to dance?" asked Lee. Hinata's eyes widened, but she slowly nodded. Lee's face broke out into a grin as he led the shy girl onto the floor. Shino didn't say anything, but disappeared into the crowd somewhere. TenTen laughed, and was about to say something when Blaise asked her to dance. She agreed, so the two of them followed Lee and Hinata, leaving Sasuke alone with the other three girls.
"Oh, that's Davies from Ravenclaw. He owes me a dance from last time," With that said, Pansy was off, Daphne following her slowly, a bit bemused. Kimi looked over at Sasuke, and looked back out onto the floor.
"Do you want to dance?" she asked.
"Might as well. Don't know how though," Sasuke replied with a shrug. Kimi meanwhile smirked.
"Neither do I. Lets go dance over by Lee though, he should make us look good," she replied. Sasuke looked over and couldn't help laughing. The sight of Hinata timidly swaying to the music and Lee jumping around like a maniac was too funny. Even Shino would've laughed at the sight of it.
They didn't dance close, pressing their bodies up against each other like some of the couples on the floor were doing. There was a good few inches between them, though they were holding hands. Sasuke was trying to imitate a couple who were dancing in a sort of Swing like way, spinning Kimi and himself around. They failed miserably though, but it was fine. After all, Kimi told a disappointed Sasuke, it's a party, they're not required to dance well, just have fun.
The sixth year Gryffindors arrived at the party, and after checking their robes entered the room. The first thing Ino saw was Sasuke trying to spin Kimi around in a dance on the dance floor. She scowled and grabbed Naruto by the arm.
"Naruto, come dance with me."
"Yes ma'am," Naruto replied. She grabbed his arm and dragged him off, with Naruto shooting a look that clearly said "Help me!" behind him, much to everyone else's amusement. A new song started, and just as Ino was getting close to Sasuke and Kimi, Naruto expertly spun her around and caught her before she fell.
"You want to dance," he said, "so let's dance." Ino looked like she was about to protest, but Naruto spun her out again, before pulling her close. She didn't know the dance, but he seemed to as he spun her away again and swayed to the music. Ino's eyes were wide, she never knew Naruto could dance!
"I never knew you could dance," she commented. The dancing was going even better now, since she was picking up the steps to it quickly.
"You don't know a lot of things about me," Naruto replied. Ino felt a small clenching of guilt in her stomach. She never did try to get to know Naruto, he was always just a mean to get to Sasuke.
"That…that's true," she stammered. Unbeknownst to her, the current song ended, and a new, livelier one picked up. They both altered their dancing to fit the new tune, but didn't stop.
"I get used to it. All the girls obsess over Sasuke, who would notice me next to him?" asked Naruto a bit bitterly. Ino was speechless. She knew that Naruto was powerful, but it never occurred to her to think of how her actions affected him. They danced in silence after that, and when the song ended, Naruto brought her close so he could whisper into her ear, his cheek lightly brushing up against hers.
"Thanks for the dance, Ino-chan." With that said, he left her on the dance floor to go rescue Hinata from Lee's dancing. Ino stood there in shock for about a minute, cheeks flushed, and her hand lightly touching the tingling spot on her cheek where Naruto brushed up against her before walking over to the bar to get a drink. She was in a bit of a daze. When she got her drink, she sat down at an empty table to sip at it. Sakura walked over and sat down next to her.
"Naruto looks like a good dancer," she said.
"He is," Ino agreed.
"Are you alright Ino?" Sakura asked, concerned.
"I just have some thinking to do," Ino replied, as if a bit lost. Sakura nodded before heading back to the dance floor. She tapped Kimi on the shoulder, and said something, and with an exaggerated curtsy, Kimi stepped away from Sasuke, making Sakura and Sasuke laugh. Sasuke took Sakura up in his arms and clearly was listening as after the first few steps Sakura started teaching him how to dance a bit. The music slowed down some, and Hinata escaped the group, walking over to the food counter. Naruto looked a little lost until Kimi tapped him on the shoulder, and he swept her into the slower dance. Ino's eyes narrowed a bit, though she was amused at Kimi's clear inability to sway with the beat of the song. The amusement quickly turned into a hot stab of irritation when Naruto grabbed Kimi by the waist and pulled her close.
"What is wrong with me?" Ino whispered, downing her drink and ordering another. This fire whisky stuff was pretty good.
"See, you're not that bad Sasuke-kun," Sakura said as Sasuke finally managed to step with the beat.
"Not as good as Naruto," Sasuke grumbled.
"Sasuke, just because Naruto's a better dancer than you doesn't mean you should keep moping over it all the time. So Naruto's better at something? Big deal. You're better than him at a lot of things, but he doesn't go around moping about all of them. And you shouldn't either," Sakura snapped. Sasuke's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't know what to say. She never snapped at him, and he realized this was the first time she didn't call him 'Sasuke-kun'.
"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," Sakura said after a minute or two of silence.
"No, you're right. Don't apologize for telling the truth, even if you know I probably don't want to hear it," Sasuke replied, summoning a smile. Sakura was right, he supposed.
"At least you're better at dancing than Kimi seems to be," Sakura said with a chuckle. Sasuke followed her eyes to hear and see what was going on.
"You weren't kidding when you said you couldn't dance," Naruto was saying. Kimi was chuckling about it.
"Two left feet, at your service," she replied cheekily.
"Come here. I think I'd rather have you stand on my feet than step on them." Kimi laughed as Naruto pulled her close and made her stand on his feet for the rest of the song.
"Funny, I thought she'd be good at dancing. She's good at everything else," Sakura said.
"No she's not. She just wants people to think she is," Sasuke replied. Sakura looked at him for a second before nodding in agreement just as the song ended.
"Thanks for the dance lessons, Sakura," Sasuke said. Sakura smiled and looked down, and just as Sasuke was about to wander off, said something.
"Sasuke-kun? Do you think we could have another dance tonight?" she asked. Sasuke looked back at her, and saw that while her cheeks were pink she was looking right into his eyes. It was certainly an improvement.
"Sure," he shrugged. Sakura's face lit up in a smile, before she walked over to Naruto and offered to switch places with Kimi again, much to Naruto's apparent relief.
Hermione was having the time of her life. Kiba was a great date. He could dance reasonably well, he was fun to talk to, and he genuinely liked her for who she was. It wasn't something she got all that often, but she didn't care. With him she wasn't Hermione the Book Worm, Hermione the Prefect, or even Hermione, member of the Golden Trio. No, she was just a soon to be seventeen year old girl who was having the time of her life. Kiba didn't even sulk when Harry stopped by for a dance. Instead, he merely walked a few steps before being stopped by Padma Patil, Parvati's twin sister.. Hermione was pleased to note the distance he kept between the two of them, despite her attempts to close it.
"How are you doing, Hermione?" Harry asked. She smiled at him, touched by his genuine concern.
"I'm doing great. Thank you so much for the letter," she said with a grin.
"Don't thank me for telling the truth," Harry replied. Hermione looked like she was going to say something, but her eyes widened. Harry turned his head to see what she was looking at, and stopped dancing for a second in shock. There, behind them, dancing so close you couldn't tell where one body stopped and the next began was Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley. After the song ended the two of them left the dance floor, grabbed drinks at the bar, and went to sit down at a table. Harry walked over, Hermione following him.
Ginny and Draco were happily chatting about Quiddich when the two got close enough to hear them.
"Having a good time, Ginny?" asked Harry. Ginny's eyes flew wide, she paled and spun in her seat to face him. Harry's face was blank, but Hermione could almost see the struggle going on in his head. She had a similar one of her own. Malfoy was always a jerk to everyone, but tonight he seemed…different. More normal if anything.
"Um, hi Harry. Hermione," Ginny stammered.
"Potter, Granger," Draco said with a nod. His tone was wary, yet it didn't hold any of the malice that it normally did.
"Never knew you and Draco were an item," Harry said slowly. Draco's eyes narrowed, but the lack of hostility in Harry's tone was disarming.
"You've never been to a party, you wouldn't," Ginny replied.
"Ron will kill you if he finds out," Harry said in a pained tone of voice.
"What about you, Potter?" Draco spoke up. "What are you going to do, now that you know?"
"Me?" Harry looked over at Malfoy, "Don't you hurt her, Malfoy, and that's a warning. I won't even be able to get to you, except to curse what's left after Ginny's done. And I promise you it won't be much." Ginny squealed in happiness and hugged Harry.
"Thank you thank you! I didn't think you'd take it so well!"
"Well, Harry has a point, it's your life. Just promise that if he goes bad on you, and it's over your head, you'll ask us for help," Hermione said. Ginny grinned and nodded. Harry still looked pained though.
"What about Ron though? He's my best mate, if I don't tell him, he won't speak to me again," Harry moaned.
"Harry, please don't, he'd fly off the handle," Ginny begged. Hermione's eyes lit up though.
"Harry! You can't tell him," she said.
"Right. Because if I do he'll kill Malfoy and Ginny. And if I don't, he'll kill me, Malfoy, and Ginny," Harry replied.
"No, Harry. The charm, remember? Ron's not at the party, and what goes on in here –"
"-stays in here," Harry finished with her. "That's brilliant Hermione, now he can only be mad at me for a few days instead of years." Ginny and Hermione grinned, and Hermione left to go back and dance another round with Kiba. Harry made to go over to get something to eat, when he felt a hand touch his arm.
"Potter?" Harry looked over to see Draco looking at him.
"Yeah, Malfoy?" he asked.
"Thanks."
"Don't hurt her," Harry said, this time without any threat in his voice.
"I won't Potter," Draco replied, and for the first time, Harry heard emotion in the Slytherin's tone. That, more than anything, made him believe the blonde boy.
"Then don't mention it Malfoy." With that said, Harry walked off into the crowd, leaving Draco and a considerably happier Ginny alone.
Daphne was leaning against the wall near the bar when she saw someone else do the same. Shrugging, she wandered over, and was shocked to see that the person was none other than Harry Potter. A very good looking Harry Potter, she amended, allowing her eyes to travel over his frame before saying something.
"You look bored," she said.
"Yeah. I didn't exactly come with a date, and it looks like just about everyone's paired up for the night," Harry replied. "I'm Harry, you're Daphne, right?" Daphne's eyes widened a bit, she didn't think he would know who she was.
"Yeah, you're in all of my classes with me," she replied. "I never knew you noticed."
Harry looked over at her and smirked a bit.
"How could I not?" he asked. Daphne felt herself grin, and blush just a little. She was so distracted, she wasn't prepared for the next question.
"Do you want to dance?" Harry asked. Daphne stared at him for a moment, before nodding.
Harry was a good dancer, Daphne decided later as he went to get them a drink. It had been two hours since they'd started to dance, and the two of them talked non stop. He was a lot different than she thought he was, she had to admit it. Who knows, if he had the guts to try for it, he might even be datable.
"Hey, Ino, the party's ending so we're heading back up to the tower," Naruto called. Ino hadn't moved from the table much for a while, and Naruto saw what looked like a bunch of glasses next to her.
"Naruto! Wanna dance?" Ino slurred in Japanese. She got up, took a few steps towards him, before slipping. Naruto quickly caught her before she hit the ground.
"Ino! What have you been drinking?" Naruto asked in their language, wrinkling his nose.
"Firewhisky. Good stuff, dunno why they don't have it in Japan," she replied. "S'better than sake."
"Woah there. Come on, Ino, lets get you back to your room," Naruto replied.
"But I wanna dance," she protested.
"How about we dance once you're feeling better," Naruto replied. Ino was having problems walking, so he picked her up and carried her to the coat room. Their robes appeared, and Naruto grabbed them before carrying her to the tower, stopping once so she could run into the girls' bathroom and throw up. Naruto ran in with her, and held her hair out of the way since he didn't know what else to really do. Luckily they didn't run into anyone who would get them in trouble, and by the time Naruto got her into the tower, she was fast asleep.
"I'll just set her down here for now, and I'll stay until she wakes up," Naruto muttered to himself. He sat down on the couch and laid her next to him. She snuggled up against him in her sleep, her head on his lap. Naruto picked up their robes and draped them across her like a blanket before falling asleep himself.
All and all, the party was a success. Everyone came out happy (except possibly Ino, depending on how you look at it) and there weren't any attacks.
Pity that was going to change.
