Chapter 3: Meeting People Like Me

"Ah that was a weird dream" Naruto states as he wakes up only to find himself laying at a bed in an unfamiliar location of what appears to be an infirmary. "Wait, where the heck am I?!" Naruto exclaims as he looks around frantically as an old man walks inside the room. "Ah I see you have woken up" the old man states rather amused. Naruto looks at the old man, observing his appearance just by the way he is dressed strangely, and asks "Who are you and where am I?"

The old man smiled and responded with this: "Allow me to answer that. My name is Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, and where you are is the school itself. Now I believe I must ask who are you?" Dumbledore asked. "Well my name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki nice to meet ya!" Naruto responded rather excitedly. Dumbledore smiled and responded: "The pleasure is all mine, but now I must ask how you found yourself to be in this castle?" Naruto, unsure how to answer, decided to respond with this: "Well all I can remember is that I was running away from a lot of people from my village, I was caught and tortured by the villagers, and I only escaped through the use of some mysterious power, and so I ran only to fall into a mysterious portal and I somehow landed here."

Dumbledore thinks to himself for a moment about Naruto's story of how he fell inside that portal and managed to enter hogwarts. "Your story seems rather interesting, perhaps you would allow me to search your memories to see what really happened?" Dumbledore asked. "A-are you sure?" Naruto asked rather nervously. "Yes, so that way I can know what truly happened for you to be sent here" Dumbledore responded. Naruto nodded in agreement and allowed Dumbledore to do the process, in which he took Naruto's memory and placed it in a pensieve to see the events of what transpired. After viewing Naruto's memories, Dumbledore only had a sad look in his face; Given that he has seen everything, Dumbledore could only believe that Naruto truly needed to be here for he is the same as that boy. "Naruto, after viewing your memories, I have decided to take you in as a student in Hogwarts, should you choose to accept" Dumbledore said. Naruto, dumbfounded by how Dumbledore believed him, can only nod in agreement. Dumbledore smiled and said "Excellent, now then as I go to my chambers to process your registration, I will have someone to take you to get your school supplies for you will need everything here on this letter." Dumbledore handed Naruto a letter that mentions all the things required such as robes, textbooks for first year students, a wand, etc.

"Ah, here comes Hagrid, he will be the one to take you to get your school supplies" Dumbledore said as he points to a giant bearded man who has just arrived to talk with Dumbledore regarding something. "Hello Professor Dumbledore, you called?" asked the giant man known as Hagrid. "Why yes Hagrid, I called because I need your help over something" Dumbledore requested. "Well what is it?" Hagrid asked. "Hagrid, I need you to take this boy to Diagon Alley to get his supplies for he is a new student who will attend Hogwarts and it is his first year for him" Dumbledore stated. "Why certainly, anything for you Professor Dumbledore sir" the bearded giant stated. Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Alright then, I'm off to register the boy to attend this school. Get acquainted with each other" Dumbledore said as he left for his office. Hagrid turned to the boy and introduced himself, "Hello there young man! My name is Rubeus Hagrid, but call me Hagrid, so what's your name?" Hagrid asked. Naruto introduced himself, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki." "Nice to meet you Naruto, now then before we get your school supplies, first we have to pick up someone else who will also attend the school with you as well." Naruto nodded and the two headed to Hagrid's flying motorcycle to find the other person who will also attend Hogwarts as well.

Meanwhile in Dumbledore's Office

Inside Dumbledore's office, Dumbledore and two other professor's are currently viewing Naruto's memories in the pensieve. Dumbledore may have already seen Naruto's memories, but the other two professors have different reactions to those memories. The old woman, Minerva Mcgonagall, was shocked and if not looked quite pale after viewing the boy's memories, whereas a sallow skinned greasy haired man wearing all black robes looked rather neutral if not emotionless after viewing the boy's memories. Mcgonagall can only ask Dumbledore "Albus, is it wise to have this boy attend our school, let alone be around the students in the same year as him?" Dumbledore responded, "Why yes, I believe he hasn't done any harm to anyone let alone a few pranks, and the way I see it, he could surely need a new change of scenery with what he has experienced in his childhood. Now how about you Severus?" Dumbledore asked the greasy haired man known as Severus. Severus responded with "While I find it strange that the boy came from another world, as long as he doesn't get in my way and mess around like a fool, then I have no problem with him attending." With the two professor's different viewpoints of the subject matter, they all agree to allow Naruto to attend Hogwarts.

Meanwhile on an Isolated Island

Naruto and Hagrid have just arrived on an island to find a person they are looking for. "Alright Naruto stay here, let me get this person and then we can head on over to Diagon Alley" Hagrid stated as he got off of his motorbike holding a pink box with what appears to be a cake inside. Naruto nodded and waited for what appears to be about 10 minutes or so, albeit there was some shouting and screaming in the hut, along with a sound of a gunshot, on this isolated island. Hagrid came out of the hut along with a boy about Naruto's age, give or take, who appears to have black messy hair, glasses, green eyes, and a scar shaped like a lightning bolt in his forehead. As the boy got on the motorcycle, Hagrid announced, "Alright you two! We're going to head on to get your supplies, so hold on tight!" Naruto introduces himself to the boy with glasses, "Hi there, my name's Naruto Uzumaki, what's your name?" as Naruto held out his hand. The boy shaked Naruto's hand and responded with "Harry Potter." And so, the motorbike flew off to the night in unimaginable speeds heading to the required destination.

London- about the Morning hours or so

As the two young wizards sit in the flying motorbike, they watch the clouds and soon find themselves viewing the London skyline. Naruto and Harry were excited to see the view, albeit Naruto was more so excited given that it's his first time seeing a new world with all of its uniqueness and so much so. Naruto thinks to himself, 'man the view is way better here than back home.'

The Leaky Cauldron

The two young wizards and the giant man arrive at a pub in London, and as they enter the pub, it was silent as everyone looked at the two wizards, albeit they were more so looking at Harry much to the two young wizards' confusion. Then all the people in the pub cried in joy as they greeted Harry Potter like some sort of hero. Naruto was confused at first, but then later learned from Hagrid that Harry was considered a legend that defeated some dark wizard as a baby. After all the greetings, the three arrive at a backroom that was empty only showing a wall.

"Really? An empty room?" Naruto said blankly. Hagrid smirked and said "Looks can be deceiving" as he tapped on the bricks with his umbrella. Soon the bricks open, revealing a door and much to the shock of the two young wizards the door reveals a location with many shops and people in the streets. "Awesome!" both Harry and Naruto exclaimed. "Welcome to Diagon Alley."

Diagon Alley

The three walked the streets of Diagon Alley, and as they walk around Naruto and Harry's eyes are filled in wonder and excitement as they see unique shops and people around. "Man this place is amazing right?!" Naruto said excitedly. Harry, agreeing with what Naruto said, replied "I know right?, There's so many things we can do. But here's the thing, how are we going to pay for all this, we don't have the money" as Harry pulled out his letter showing the required school supplies. Hagrid chuckled at the two and said, "Now now, you two, before you get excited, first we need to head to Gringotts to get your money. "Gringotts?" Naruto asked. "Gringotts, the wizarding bank, ain't no safer place, not one…well except for Hogwarts of course" Hagrid states as he points to a bank of the same name. "Now don't worry about the payments" Hagrid said to Naruto, "Dumbledore gave me access to his vault" as Hagrid pulled out a key from his pocket.

Naruto, looking excited, nods at Hagrid and tells Harry "Come on then, off to the bank" as he runs to the bank, with Harry following him. "N-Now hold on you two…wait for me!" Hagrid yelled as he chased the two young wizards.
