Chapter 2 First encounters and First Class Service
Alleyway outside the Leaky Caldron
"Fuck" Naruto grunts out as he lands on the cemented walkway. Snape stands there waiting for him to gather himself. Heaven knows how many people's first time using a portkey effects them. After a time Naruto stands up and turns to Snape. "A little warning would've been appreciated", he told him glaring.
"Follow me" was all he heard before following Snape into a run down tavern. Snape walks by the occupants without acknowledging them, while Naruto at least gives a wave to the bartender before following out the back, and into a small area with a bricked wall in front of them.
"Ummm…...sir"
"Professor Snape"
"Yea ummm Professor Snape why are we here?" Naruto asks as he rolls his eye at him.
"I believe the shinobi saying look underneath the underneath applies here as well. Watch carefully because you will come here by yourself sometime and need to know how to enter." Snape taps the wall in three places in a counterclockwise manner and an archway is made with the bricks and Naruto looks on with amazement at all the colorful robed people walking around.
"We will first stop at Gringotts to take some money from your account to buy your supplies. I suggest taking a few more coins for things you may wish to buy."
"I have a account here? Cool" Naruto says as they walked to a giant white building at the end of the alley. "This Place is called Diagon Alley and this is where you can buy all your school supplies" Snape told him. He was a little amazed at all the shops around the place, but was a little confused by a shop selling brooms. 'Hey maybe their self cleaning brooms. I no a few lazy people who could use one. They could make a fortune selling to the Nara's.' he thought.
They made it to the entrance and Snape stops and looks at Naruto, "make sure you are polite to the goblins that run this place. Remember they are here guarding your fortune, so be polite." Naruto nods his head and the went in. Naruto held in a snort when he saw these short and funny looking creatures at the counter helping some people. 'Must be the goblins. They have some really crooked noses, wonder if professor Snape is related to any of them' he thought as he peeks at Snape from the corner of his eye.
Griphook one of the banks caretakers of large important vaults, one of which was the very large and very valued vault of the great house of Uzumaki, was running down the hallway towards the customers hall because he received a note that a Uzumaki has entered and wished to make a withdraw. And so he had them moved to a private receiving room with some condiments to keep them comfey. If they were lying to him about being one of the renowned Uzumaki, he would make them regret ever uttering that name again. He'll be sure to get them sent to Azkaban.
He made it to the room huffing and puffing and looked through the glass. He knew the man to be professor Snape from Hogwarts but the blond whiskered boy next to him he did not know. 'This is the boy claiming to be a Uzumaki? He doesn't even have the crimson hair that they have.' he thought as he entered.
"Hello" Griphook says as he enters, "I am led to believe that Mr. Uzumaki wishes to make a withdraw?" He looks at Snape for clarification that this boy is either a real Uzumaki or a imposter forcing him to help steal from their vault. It wasn't the first time someone tried to impersonate a member and it wouldn't be the last, but so long as he lives no one will succeed.
"Yes " Snape supplied, no unnecessary words need be spoken.
"Does Mr. Uzumaki have a key?" Snape reaches into a pocket and retrieves a very elaborate crystal key. It had a bunch of seal looking designs on it and the great red Uzumaki crest right on top. Griphook knew the key was real but now is the boy the real deal. He's handed the key and turns to the boy and bows slightly showing respect for the next request. "If Mr. Uzumaki would be incline I would like to have a small sample of blood to confirm his identity. No disrespect sir but for this peticulare account we must be very vigilant" he tells the boy while still slightly bowed.
"Sure" the boy said and quickly bites his thumb drawing a few drops of blood before giving his hand to Griphook.
Griphook uses magic to take a drop of the boys blood and drops it on the crest at the top of the key and waited for the proof that this child was in fact the last great Uzumaki. The symbols glowed blue and then turned green for three seconds before turning blue again and disappeared.
There it was….proof that this child was in fact a Uzumaki, not only that but was the last of his great-...no the last of his most noble and magnificent Family.
Now Griphook bowed even lower and in a almost awed voice said, "lord Uzumaki thank you for coming right this way and we'll head towards your family vault."
As they were heading towards the vault rooms Snape smirked at how the goblin was scrambling around once he learned Naruto's Family name. What was better was the scrunched up face Naruto was making when he was referred to as lord. Just like his mother Naruto didn't like to stand on ceremony and would prefer to be informal and personal.
Just before they reached the mine cart the goblin stopped and turned to a wall with certain symbols and pressed a few then swirling the one at the bottom. The cart waiting on the tracks took off right before a much nicer and comfortable cart came to a stop in front of them. The cart was of a orangish red and had a red Uzumaki swirl on it's side. There was also a roof over it to keep falling stone and water off the occupants.
Griphook opens the side door and steps to the side, "this way lord Uzumaki we'll head down to your vault." Naruto and Snape get in and sits down only to find the seats are cushioned and quite comfortable. Griphook gets in the front and pulls one of the levers. The cart rolls off and they start gaining speed more and more as they keep going down. 'This cart is much nicer than those rusted cans they make people get into. Kushina never told me about this, the ride is smooth and we're not thrown to either side as it turns sharply' Snape thought as he looks at Naruto who's slowly getting more excited has they gain more speed. 'I'll have to escort him more often if he receives these kinds of services.' He smirked
By the time they reached the vault Naruto had his hands up enjoying the ride as the cart went into sharp turns and a few loops. He swore he saw a dragon somewhere on the way down.
"Vault 001" Griphook said as he got out and held the door for them. The vault door was made of stone with the Uzumaki symbol in the stone and a few runes going along the path of the crest and more encircling it. The goblin walks up to the door and strokes his finger down the middle revealing a keyhole. He inserts the key and thanks to before it already had his blood as well which would unlock the rest.
As the doors open Naruto was flabbergasted, he was gaping at the large piles of coins that seem to be as big as the academy back home and it looked like it went on for miles.
"Ho…. how far down does it go?" he asked wanting to know how much this vault could hold because every part of what was in front of him was piled with the coins golden cups and gaudy jewelry. "Goes on for at least a mile and a half my lord" Griphook replied. A mile and a half, even Snape was astounded by this wealth. And there was several other countries who have just as much in their vaults. Just how rich were the Uzumaki? Naruto whistles in astonishment before scrunching up his face again.
"You know you don't have to keep calling me lord"
"But anything else would be an insult to you and your family"
"Yea but I would prefer if you just called me Naruto, ok"
"As you wish lord Naruto" Griphook said bowing low.
Again Naruto scrunches his face and Snape smirked. "Why don't we grab some coins and we'll continue with our arends" he told Naruto as he walked towards him and the vault entrance. Naruto went in to grab a few coins and placed them in a few hidden pockets he had. Snape was about to enter when Griphook put out his arm and Snape froze as if he was tied up.
"Only lord Naruto may enter, it is our largest account and pride ourselves in the keeping of it, so you will not touch it" said the goblin as he glared up at Snape. As they got back into the cart and head up, Naruto spoke, "you know, if there was a mini bar with drinks and snacks this would be an even better ride." No one answered him but Griphook's right ear twitched.
They made their way back to the entrance with Griphook bowing to Naruto all the way, much to his chagrin.
"Well that was a bit much" Naruto said.
"I did tell you the Uzumaki family is a very prominent house."
"Yea, but damn that was a lot"
They headed down the entrance stairs before Snape Turned to him.
"I still have a few things to get ready for the school year, so here is a ticket to the train that will take you to Hogwarts the Bartender back at the bar will help you get there. And your letter already has a list of supplies for you to get, and I will see you then" Snape said before he turned to walk away.
"Wait aren't you supposed to show me around?"
"I taken the liberty to write down the shops names on your list for you I'm sure a shinobi of your caliber can find his way around". Snape retorted raising an eyebrow. "You did just cut someone's head off so I'm sure shopping can't be to much of a problem."
"Ok ok you don't have to be snippe about it" Naruto tells him as he looks around for the first stop for supplies. "Then I shall be off, and don't even think of going down there" Snape snaps at Naruto when he caught him looking down Knockturn Alley. "There is nothing down there for you that's on the list, unless you mean to do harm to others. And any item that is banned from Hogwarts will be confiscated when you step on Hogwarts ground. And your shinobi skills won't work to hide it either". Naruto chuckled as he scratches the back of his head and nods in understanding.
Snape glared at him for a moment and then nods. "I will see you at Hogwarts there's a room and the Leaky Cauldron for you just ask Tom" Snape said as he apparits. Naruto looks at the spot where Snape just stood a moment ago. 'That was actually pretty cool.'
Diagon Alley
Naruto went around Diagon alley to gather his supplies, he bought a few extra books so he could read up more on this world. He decided it would be best not to speak his family's name, to avoid what happened at Gringotts. He only needed three more items, robes, pet, and a wand in that order.
He heads towards Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and enters.
Once in side a lady with a bunch of pins floating around her head walks up to him, "first year at Hogwarts dear?" she asked and he nods. "Well I'm with another young man so you'll have to wait thirty more minutes dear" she told him, then walks back over to the stool a blump boy was standing on. He looks to the side where an older women that seemed to be covered in birds kept ordering the boy to stand up straight and stop slouching. As the seamstress walks up to talk to the women Naruto took a chance to walk over to talk with the boy.
Neville Longbottom was never really confident and his grandmother would always insult him on how he stands, how he walks, talks, and eats. Always comparing him to his parents who died always saying how disappointed they would be with him.
He turns to the side and sees a blond boy about his age walk up to him and waved with a smile.
"Hey I'm Naruto"
"Neville" he answers back a little shyly.
"What's up with the crazy bird lady yelling at you?" Naruto asked. "She is my grandmother. She's always like that, I can't do anything about it" he said with his head down sad that he can't do anything to please her.
"Well stand up for yourself then. Tell her to fuck off if she keeps insulting you"
"I can't do that, are you crazy she's my gram!" Neville whispers to Naruto. This boy was crazy and he curses too. He can't stand up to his gram, let alone stand up to anyone. He wasn't brave, he was….he was a coward.
"Look I have a friend who use to be like you. She had a hard time standing up for herself, I helped her through it. You must stand up for yourself and don't back down."
"Yo…...you really think I can do it" Neville asks hope shining in his eyes as he looks at Naruto.
"Definitely"
"Ok then I will" Neville said with as much courage as he could muster. His gram and the seamstress came back over. And his gram starts barking at him. "Stand up straight boy, stop slouching. Can't you stay still for even a moment, your parents would be ashamed of you!" She yells at him. Neville turns to Naruto for help and he smiled back at him and nods his head in encouragement, and Neville nods back.
"Gra…...Gram!" he yells. "Ju...jus….just be quiet and let her finish!" He says in a slightly louder voice than he normally speaks. The room quiets down the seamstress looks shocked that her tools fell to the ground. The lady with the birds looked like someone just slapped her over the face as she stared at Neville. Then with a hard scowl came over to him and grabbed him by the ear and was pulling him out the store while yelling, "why your ungrateful little pratt, how dare you show me such disrespect. I thought I raised you better the-", he didn't hear the rest as the door shut. The seamstress still looked shocked at what happened. Naruto looked back at her and she looked back at him.
"I guess it's my turn right?" he asked, all she could do was nod as he got on the stool for her to measure him.
After paying for his robes Naruto walked around trying to find a shop selling owls. He wanted and owl because a cat would remind him of that demon cat from hell Tora. Kakashi would make him go after it whenever that mission was available, which was at least eight times a day. He swears by his ramen that some asshole decided to teach that damn cat how to mold chakra and how to attack and evade. 'I bet it was Anko-nee, she always enjoyed watching people chase that cat. She likes it better when I have to chase it' he thought. And a toad was just boring, so a owl it was.
In a few minutes he found Eeylops Owl Emporium and entered the shop. There were owls flapping their wings everywhere and hoots of different pitches would sound out making it loud and hard to hear others speak. He went down the alse looking at all the different kinds of owls, small, big, white, brown, but non caught his eye. As he turns the last alse he sees a beautiful owl at the end standing on a perch and not in a cage. He walked up to it and saw it had black feathers, in fact they seemed darker than black, there was also a slight grey coloring around its eyes. Its eyes were a bright gold color that made gold seem plain. It was a medium sized owl so it wasn't much to struggle with when he had to carried it. He held out his arm to it waiting for it to respond to him.
A few runnins with animals, normal and those who could use chakra taught him to wait and see if they'll allow you near it. The owl looked at him with scrutiny before letting out a small hoot and jumped on his arm.
"Well I'll be that there is an shadow owl. She sure is a beauty. Your one lucky lad" a load voice behind him. Naruto quickly turns around with his free hand behind his back gripping the kuni hidden there. Shinobi rule number one never go anywhere unarmed. "Woo there little one didn't' mean to scare ya there" the man said. He was a giant of a man with long scraggly hair and beard. Naruto was a little in awe at seeing the biggest person he's ever seen.
"That's alright I'm Naruto. What was that you said about this owl."
"Names Rubeus Hagrid, I'm the groundskeeper at Hogwarts. I was just' saying that there is a shadow owl. Very rare and very smart. There are so few of them that they are very hard to capture let alone even see." the now named Hagrid said as he shook Naruto's hand making his whole body vibrate up and down.
"What else can you tell me about them."
"Well their suppose to be faster than any other members of the large bird variety, their also one of the smartest. Their very picky, when one chooses its master they become very protective of their master, very loyle they are. They can fly halfway around the world in one flight and absolutely impossible to see at night. You got to look for them eyes, their the only thing given away their location. The only place to find them would be those hidden continents on the other side of the world." The more he spoke about the owl the more he seemed to get excited.
"This is the first time I get to see one in person. It looks like she's taken a liking to you, are you thinking of purchasing her?" Hagrid asked him. After hearing about the owl the choice was clear.
"Well after what you just told me, Hell yea I am!" he shouts startling a few of the other owls as well as customers. Hagrid justs laughs and led the boy to the front. When they got there Hagrid purchased a white snow owl he was getting Harry while he was getting a wand. After that Naruto walked up to the counter and the owner's eyes bugged out when she saw him carrying the shadow owl.
"Well I'll be that thing hasn't pick a person since I got him. Are your parent's sure they want to get that for you she is pretty expensive." she told Naruto not sure that any parent would spend so much on a owl for a child who looks like he'll be a first year.
"I don't have parents I'm orphaned and yes I would like to by her." Both Hagrid and the owner looked at him with slightly widen eyes. "Are you going to Hogwarts as a first year" Hagrid asked him. "Yea".
"I don't think Hogwarts can pay for such a pricey owl for a student" the owner said, while Hagrid was nodding his head sad to see such a owl go to waste when it clearly chose the boy. "Hogwarts will not be purchasing her for me, I will be paying with my own money." Naruto said with a frown.
"Are you sure you can pay for her?" Hagrid asked not wanting the boy to be let down.
"He is right dear this type of owl is very very rare and they are priceless. The lowest anyone paid for one was 800 Galleons 16 sickles and 28 knots, as I said these owls are qui-" her words were cut of by the sound of four bags hitting the table in front of her. Naruto takes out 16 sickles and 28 knots and places them on the table.
"There you go, 800 galleons, 16 sickles and 28 knots," Naruto said as he stared at the lady. Hagrid whistles with astonishment when he saw the boy pull out the money and hands it over like it was just an afterthought. Just who is this boy? 'He didn't even flinch at the price, I be paying that for the rest of my life if I did', he thought as he stared at the back of Naruto's head.
The women was speechless, this young boy just tossed all that money on the table. "Ummm…..uh….oookk," she stutters still a little awed at the purchase. "I'll need you to fill out a registry for that owl. Because it's of such a rare species the ministry would like to keep track of as many of them as they can."
"Ok" Naruto said still looking at her trying to get her to hurry up.
"Ok may I have your name dear" the women asked as she fills out the registration. "Naruto" he said. "Your full name if you can please dear, we need to know which Naruto that would be if they need to contact you." Sighing in resignation Naruto said, "Naruto Uzumaki".
There was a pause in the writing when the women looked up at him with wide eyes. Even Hagrid couldn't help but widen his eyes as well. "Ww...whhh….what did you say" the women asked hesitantly. "Naruto Uzumaki ma'am" Naruto replied again.
"Is there any proof of identification?" the women asked. Sighing again, 'this must be how Kakashi felt', for the seventh time today, he pulls out a identification card that he got at Gringotts and handed it over to show the women. She looked down and noticed that it was in fact authentic and then she read the name and saw the picture, the same boy on the card was the same boy in front of her. Once again speechless.
The owner bowed her head at him and in a awed voice he heard the goblin's use, "my apology lord Uzumaki, I'll get this done in just a minute and you can be on your way," she told him as she rushed to the back to finish off the paperwork.
He turns around to look at Hagrid's astonished face and sighed for the eighth time waiting for him to speak.
Well I'll be, may I ask you who your mother was?" Hagrid asked even though he may of had a suspicion. "Kushina" Naruto told him before he was blasted by Hagrid's loud laugh. "So your little Shina's boy, my I didn't expect that, though now that I got a good look at you I can see it, you got the shape of her face, a bit feminine." he said
"I'm not feminine!" Naruto yells at him, "I'm manly, even Hina-hime says I'm manly….ok most of the time she does…..ok sometimes…...fine she doesn't but I am manly" he pouts. Hagrid justs laughs again and rubs Naruto's head. "Well you sure got her personality, my it's been awhile since I've seen her. Quite the fiery temper as well." Naruto would've asked how he knew her but remembered him saying he was a groundskeeper at Hogwarts.
Right then the women returns from the back and bows deeply to him, "your all set Lord Uzumaki".
"Thank you"
"Your welcome my lord"
Naruto walks out of the store before someone else finds out about him. Hagrid follows him and stops next to him when he looks down at him. "So what will you name her"?
"Hmmmm, how about shade?" Naruto looks at the owl as she gives a negative hoot. "Ok then what about….Koneko?" A hoot of approval comes from the now named Koneko. "That there sounds like a beautiful name" Hagrid said agreeing with Koneko. "All right then we're settled" Naruto said petting Koneko a little, she leaned into his touch giving of a soft and pleasured hoot.
"Since you are going to Hogwarts, is there anything else you need to pick up?" Hagrid asked. "Just a wand" Naruto answered.
"Well follow me I'm headed there to pick up another firsty going to Hogwarts". And so Naruto followed Hagrid down the lane until the came to a shop called Ollivander's. "Go on then and good luck, I'll see you at hogwarts" Hagrid told him as he opened the door. Before he could enter though he bumped into another kid and both of them dropped to the ground. "I'm so sorry," the kid said as he got up.
"No worries, I'm fine" Naruto told him.
"You alright Harry?" Hagrid asked as he came up to them.
"Yea I'm good" he replied.
Harry looks over to the other kid he ran into and held out his hand. "Sorry about that again mate, I'm Harry Potter." Harry said getting ready for another person to oogle and praise him. He was quite surprised when all he got was, "hey no worries, and the names Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto replied. 'Damn it' Naruto thought as he accidentally revealed his last name. He to was surprised when Harry didn't react to it. He was grateful because he sure as hell didn't want to deal with this shit any longer.
"Hey Harry, you and Naruto here are going to both be firstys at Hogwarts together," Hagrid said with a smile.
"Really" Harry replied as he turned back to Naruto, "guess we'll be classmates then", "yea I'll see you then I got to grab my wand before heading back to the Leaky Caldron." as they waved goodbye both boys smiled as they turned away from each other and thought the same thought, 'finally someone who doesn't act like a groupie'.
Ollivander's
As Naruto entered the shop he saw a man at the counter just finishing up putting a wand away as he turned around to smile at him. "Welcome, welcome, come on in and let's get you a wand" the man said as Naruto came to the counter. Once there, both Naruto and the man felt a tingling sensation in the air. Many of the boxes on the walls and in the back start to rumble and glow. It lasted only a few seconds before everything settled down back to normal. They both looked at each other wondering what could of caused this.
"Very peculiar," the man said as he continues to look at Naruto. "Only one other person I know did the same thing a few years back and she was destined for great things, incredible things" he said as he continues staring. "What is your name young man?" he asked.
"It's polite to give your name first before asking someone theirs" Naruto said hoping just to get this moving along. Why is it always the last things he needs always ends up being the most annoying. "Your quite right young man lets start over. I'm Garrick Ollivander and this is my family's shop, finest wands in Britain. And my I ask who you might be good sir", he asked politely. Naruto didn't hear any sarcasm in his voice so he decided to return the favor, even though he was going to hate this next part.
"Naruto Uzumaki" he nods at the man. 'Here we go.'
"Cedar with a Unicorns hair" the man said. Naruto was puzzled by what this man said. 'What the hell' he thought. "That my good boy, was the wand that your mother Kushina Uzumaki received when she came to my shop." Aw so that's what he was talking about, at first Naruto thought this man might of lost it for a second. "You seem to take after her in the way you carry yourself. I can expect great things from you young man, great things. So now all we need to do is pair you with a wand".
"Do … I just pick one?"
"Heavens no, the wand chooses its wizard not the other way around".
'Yup I was right the first time, he really did lose it. How the fuck does a stick pick someone, does it poke them and go hey I choose you?' Naruto took a step back from the man and asked in a cautious tone, "is there someone else that I could probably talk to. You know someone not, maybe crazy?" "My aren't you a bit snarky. Come on then let's get to it. Show me your wand hand." the man said as he waited.
"My what now?"
"The hand you write with" he said.
"Oh" Naruto puts out his right hand, "you could of just said that".
A wand was put in his hand and the man looked back at him, "let's try a oak with unicorn tail hair, 11'. Give it a wave." So Naruto waved it around and then the wand exploded in his hand. "Ow damn it, what the hell you trying to do blow up my arm?"
"Umm nope, let's try fir with dragon heartstring 10's."
So Naruto with a lot more caution flicked the wand only for a part of the wall on the left to burst up in flames. Ollivander took the wand and used a water spell to put out the fire. "Guess not that one ether?" Naruto retorts. "Nope but this is interesting, this is going to be fun." Ollivander said as they continued to try many, many,...many wands and every time something would explode or go up in flames.
"Maybe, just maybe" Ollivander said as he walked to the back. He opens a safe took out his wand and waved it over the safe as well. He came back carrying a small box and set it down in front of him. "This here is a very rare wand." He took it out and handed it to Naruto, "made with the very rare elder wood and a phoenix feather 11's a very powerful wand," he said has he stepped way back and guesstures for him to give it a try. Naruto hesitated for a few seconds, 'ok, these sticks are way more dangerous than I thought. Who the fuck would give these things to untrained children, someone is bound to kill themselves.' he thought before flicking it away from him,...just to be sure.
The next thing they see is the entire front of the shop explode out into Diagon alley and they heard screams as wizards and witches run from the vicinity. Naruto looks back at Ollivander, "you were right, it really is a powerful wand. So why the hell would you give it to a kid that doesn't do magic yet!?"
"I swore that would be the one. Well back to the drawing board."
"Fuck the board, what about the front of your shop it's completely gone, aren't you going to clean it up at least."
Just then a bunch of men in trench coats comes strolling in. 'it's always people in trench coats that come, where are all the individualism go' Naruto thought. The one in the lead stepped up to the counter to speak with the wand maker. "Is everything ok here Mr. Ollivander. What just happened?" He was waved off by Ollivander as he was looking at all the wands on the wall trying to figure which one Naruto would try next. "Oh, nothing's the matter just trying to figure out what wand to pair with this young man." Trenchy, Naruto decided to call him, turned to him and asked, "are you alright, I'm Maxwell Scattervaine may I have your name?"
"No"
"What?"
"You heard me. I don't want to give you my name."
"And why is that?" the man said now eyeing him wondering if he was up to no good. "Where are your parents, do they know your here getting a wand?" the man asked thinking it best to find the kids parents before they panic about his absence. Naruto continued to ignore him as he watched Ollivander go through more boxes.
"Look kid I need to know your name so I can put this in my report, we don't want people thinking there was an attack when it was just a bad wand pairing." Again he was ignored, and he was now a little pissed that this pratt thinks he could just ignore a Aurora and get away with it? Hell no. Just as he was about to grab him by the shoulders Ollivander slapped another wand in the boys hand, and then Naruto flicked it at the guy before he could touch him. The next thing everyone knew the aurora was turned into a fat pink cat with dark pink stripes. The cat was so fat it basically rolled around on the ground. Both Ollivander and Naruto laughed at that and Ollivander took the wand back.
"Ebony, with dragon heartstring." Ollivander said while nodding to himself.
"We're getting closer." He flicks the wand and the cat turns back to Maxwell.
"Why you little ass!" The man screams at Naruto, "you are coming with me to find your guardian, and have a few words." He grabs Naruto's arm to try and drag him out of the store, when in an instant he is laying on the floor groaning as the boy stands over him. "Please do not touch me. I did nothing wrong, and you accuse me of being rude? Well fuck you buddy." The other men helped trenchy stand up and they all pull out their wands and point them at Naruto.
"As a aurora of Britain I am placing you under arrest and we will be taking you for questioning." the man said preparing a paralysis spell.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Ollivander spoke up while still looking at wands to find the perfect match for the boy.
"And why is that?" Maxwell asked as he turns to the wand maker.
"It's just that, that there boys name would be Naruto Uzumaki" he said. Naruto groaned at the man. The reason he didn't want to give his name was because he didn't want anyone fawning over him.
"Iis…. Is there proof of identification?" The aurora asked shocked. Naruto hands over the letter he received form Hogwarts and waited for the inevitable.
"Put down your wand men! For pete's sake stand down! This here is lord Uzumaki. I'm terribly sorry my lord I didn't know." the man said bowing low towards him, hopping he wouldn't lose his job over this. Naruto waved him off, "no worries, I just want to find a wand quickly. It's getting close to lunch and I still need to check in at the Leaky Cauldron." he told him as he stands there waiting for Ollivander to pick another wand.
"Absolutely not" Maxwell said, " allow me to book you a room at the Aspen inn. It is much nicer and the services are top notch. We would be honored to pay for your stay there tonight." "The bar owner needs to show me how to get to the train station from here."
"We would be honored to escort you there ourselves, I went to Hogwarts myself, so I can show you the way. Besides Tom would prank you and not tell you how to get to platform 9 and ¾." Maxwell said as he sends one of his men to make the arrangements before Naruto could speak up. "Fine, but I would like to finish my shopping if you wouldn't mind" Naruto said politely, but had a scowl on his face when he keeps getting referred to as lord.
"As you wish my lord, we'll be outside waiting" the man said as the auroras bowed and left, not before they fixed the front entrance on the shop.
Naruto sighs as he turns back to face Ollivander, only to jerk back when said man was right in front of him with widen eyes and the largest smile on his face.
"Eureka I got it, I know the perfect one. If this doesn't work than I'm out of ideas."
"So.. where is it"
"Follow me into the back", the wand maker said as he head deeper into the store. Naruto followed until he saw the man open the floor board and take out an elaborate box. The man opens it and there inside was one of the most beautiful wand Naruto seen so far. It was a dark orangish brown with intricate swirls all over it and a purple double spiral going from the butt of the wand and spiraling around the wand all the way to it's tip. He looked closer at it and saw that the purple spiral were made up of tiny seals that were interwoven together all the way to the tip. This work was definitely made by a seal master.
"There is a great story of how it was made" the owner said fondly. "My father Gervaise Ollivander traveled all over the world and even into the hidden countries and even met a great rune mistress Mito Uzumaki. Together they found the oldest yew tree in the world and took a single piece of wood. My father shaped it into what it is and Mito Uzumaki used her mastery over runes to place intricate spirals of runes on it. No one not even my father knew what it would do to the wand, but Mito said that with it someone will be able to combine two energies together and with that it would become far superior beyond any wand. After they finished Mito took a thread of hair from a thestral and used it as it's core. Yew with a Thestral hair 9 inches. This wand is made for someone who will become a legend." he finished as he held it out to Naruto.
He took it hesitantly and waited for the explosion. The spiral glowed and a golden light came from the tip.
"And now we have your wand" Ollivander smiled, "that'll be seven gallons."
"That's it?"
"Yup"
"This seems like a very expensive wand, I am rich I can pay more"
"No need"
Naruto shrugged his shoulder and payed for the wand. "Do you have a sheath for it?" Ollivander simply gestured over to the very nice and expensive looking sheaths.
"Do you have a simpler design?"
"You can afford it" he smiled.
Naruto sweat drops and bought a simple design and left the shop with a sigh of relief. Finally he was done and went over to trenchy to be escorted to his new lodgings for tonight.
Aspen Inn
The inn was a dark brown color and was eight stories tall and had all sorts of fancy designs on it. As Naruto and trenchy entered, he saw it was a tile floor that was shined to a sparkle. There was a waiting area with different colored couches that looked really comfy and the front desk was made from a mahogany tree with moving sculptures of armored knights on either side of it. They were halfway to the desk, when he saw a family of three standing there talking with the receptionist. There was a tall bleached blond long haired man, and a kid about his age with hair a few shades darker than what he presumed to be his father. And on the other side of the kid was a black haired women with a few white streaks in her hair, this could be the mother.
Two thirds of the way he could hear the man yelling at the girl behind the desk, "I don't care what insignificant little pest is in the executive suit move them!" "I'm sorry sir but that is not our policy, we can provide you rooms across the hall if you would like?" the women said scared from being yelled at. "We'll take them. Come along dear, Draco lets go" the women who was the kid's mother walked away with her hand on her son's shoulder." The man follows but complaining the whole time how it was insulting that they would not be in the best rooms.
He could only shake his head at the man, 'he reminds me of a blond Hyuga'. They get to the counter and Maxwell looks at the girl with a smile, "we're her to check in lord Naruto Uzumaki into the executive suit". 'Oh, well guess I'm the insignificant little pest that took it', Naruto inwardly chuckled. The women's eyes widen this time in astonishment and bowed to Naruto. "O….of course, and welcome my lord to Aspen inn, if there is anything you need please just let the staff know" she told him as he was handed a key.
They made it to the white double doors to the room and Naruto entered and turned around to face Maxwell. "Well my lord, I'll get you in the morning, the train will leave at 11 so we need to get there a little early."
"Alright see you tomorrow bye Scatterbrains"
"It's actually sca-" he was cut off by Naruto slamming the door in his face.
Naruto looked at his suit and sweat dropped. This place was huge. There were two bedrooms, a patio that looked down into the shopping district, and the open space between the bedrooms was massive. The couchas looked like the would feel like clouds. He checked both bedrooms, and one had two beds in the larger of the two and the other one must be the master room. The bathroom had a shower with a rain cloud over the top and rained warm water. There was also a jacuzzi that was bubbling using magic. Overall this place was…..overwhelming.
He felt his stomach start to rumble and decided to go and grab a bite to eat. He walks out of the suit and starts to head towards the stairs, when he he noticed the kid from before going the same way. "Hey, wait up a second," the boy said catching up to him. He puts out his hand to him and introduces himself.
"Names Draco, Draco Malfoy"
"Naruto", he said avoiding giving anyone else his last name.
"So Naruto where you heading"
"Out for lunch want to join" he asked. Might as well be polite. "Sure, I was going to head in to Diagon alley for some food. Are you new here to Britain, you look a little eastern if I can guess," Draco asked as they headed out of the inn. "Yea way east, but I'm going to Hogwarts for my first year because my mother went there."
"Hey, I'm going to Hogwarts too, we'll be in the same year. What house do you think you'll be in, personally I am going for Slytherin, that's the house my family as always been in." Naruto remembered Snape telling him that Hogwarts has four houses, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. He also learned his mother was also in Slytherin and he wanted to follow her footsteps.
"Yea I guess Slytherin would be my choice as well."
"Yea we'll be housemates you and I" Draco said patting his back.
They continued to walk around Diagon alley while they talked, they had ice cream that tastes like lamb and mint jelly well Draco did Naruto found his lost love, ramen flavored ice cream. Draco was amazed Naruto could eat two gallons of ice cream and still feel hungry. They made their way back to the inn and up the stairs to their appointed suits. As Draco passes the executive suit, he turns to find Naruto at the door opening it with a key.
"Hey Naruto you're staying there?" Daco asked shocked that the kid he was hanging out with all day was the one staying in that suit. His father was very important and they were rarely denied anything. Who ever Naruto's parents are they must be very very important if he wasn't moved for the Malfoys.
"Yea, want to come in, they got a mini bar with some snacks?" Naruto asked holding the door open. Draco quickly agrees and enters. They ate out the mini bar though Draco didn't touch the alcohol, but was more shocked that Naruto had no inhibitions about it. "Hey mate won't your parents be pissed if they catch you drink that?" he asked looking around the room wondering where his parents might be.
"No, I'm a Orphan, my parents died the day I was born. I never knew them, I only heard about my mother three days ago when I got my letter to Hogwarts." Draco's eyes widen, "so your staying here all by yourself?"
"Yup". He couldn't believe it. This kid went his entire life not knowing who his parents were. He must know you they are now if he's able to pull this much power over his father. "So who were they. Were they purebloods, half bloods, or muggles?'
Naruto heard Snape brief him on their walk out of the village. He told him the terms for non magical people, and those born with one magical parent, and one with both magical parents. He knew his mother was at least a pureblood, and the Hokage told him his father was a shinobi, which according to Snape still considered magical in the outside world.
"Purebloods, and I don't want to talk about them" he answered. Draco sighed in relief. If his new friend wasn't pureblood his father would conjure bricks if he found out the Naruto was anything else. It was approaching six and he needed to go meet up with his parents for dinner. His mother was very firm in that their family always eats together. He decided since Naruto was by himself for the night, he'll invite him to dinner with them.
"Hey Naruto my parents and I are going to dinner and I was wondering if you would like to join?"
"Sure, I still feel a little hungry I can go for a bite." Draco sweat drops, 'he just ate three gallons of ice cream and still hungry. Why isn't he fat yet'.
They headed over to Draco's rooms and enters as his parents are just coming out of their bedroom ready to go down for dinner. "Oh Draco dear who's your friend." his mother asked as she walks up to them. "Mom, dad, this is Naruto I was hanging out with him and was wondering if he could join us for dinner?"
"yes/no" is parents say at the same time. "Of course dear Naruto is more then welcome to join us." his mother said while looking pointedly at her husband. She then turns to Naruto and takes his hand in her's, " I'm Narcissa, and my husband's name is Lucius, it is very nice to meet you" she smiles at him and he gives her a smile back. Apparently Lucius did not have the same idea about allowing him to join them.
"Draco, we don't bring in lessers in our inner circles. Imagine if we were seen fornicating with the lower class?" He said in a snobbish tone. 'Wooo, flash back to the Uchiha, and Hyugas. This guy shares their attitude' thought Naruto. Draco and Narcissa had their mouth open to speak up, before Naruto beat them both in his usual manner of dealing with these people. "That's all right I'll just go back to my room and be the what was it? Insignificant little pest that's staying in the suit across the hall" Naruto said with a small smirk that no one could see.
Draco had his jaw on the ground, he couldn't believe that he just said that to his father. Narcissa's cheeks turned red more with anger that Lucius' words were heard by the very person he spoke of. And all Lucius did was raise an eyebrow a little.
So the four of them were at dinner trying to get to know Naruto a little. When they heard that he was a orphan and that he just learned of his heritage not three days ago, Narcissa started on him like a mother hen and practically made him her unofficial son. And Lucius decided to allow her her moments of over smothering a child. It was sort of his payback for not getting the suit. He was petty that way. As they were heading up to their suits, Naruto suggested that they go ahead and share the executive suit with him since he was the only one and there was more than enough space for them all. Lucius was about to decline, he didn't want a boy to think he was still put out that he wasn't given the suit. When Naruto mentioned that the auroras that brought him here was paying for it, well he did feel a little better. Any way to save him money.
So Naruto gave Narcissa and Lucius the master room with its own bathroom and Draco and him shared a room and spent some time in the jacuzzi. That night when they were lying in bed Draco was thinking about his new friends mysterious past and how he avoided answering questions about his parents. He and his own parents were shocked to see him polish of ten bowls of ramen at dinner. They didn't even have ramen on the menu, they still made it especially for him. What amazed them all was when the check came the maitre d said dinner was on the house and bowed towards Naruto. No one even bows to his father. He turns his head to stare at Naruto as he gazed at the ceiling. 'Just who are Naruto'.
"Hey Draco?"
He was brought back and looked at him, "yea"
"Ar…...are we friends?" Naruto asked as he turned towards Draco. "Yea mate we're friends". Naruto just nodded. "You know, your only my second friend I have?"
Draco just started wondering how a guy like Naruto not have more friends? He is awesome to hang out with. As they both drift of to sleep. Naruto's dream was of the wonders he hopes to find at Hogwarts tomorrow.
Next Morning
The Malfoys and Naruto made it to the lobby as they were checking out to head over to King's crossing. The receptionist from yesterday was there looking at Lucius with a little fear, and she kept bowing to Naruto which continued to confuse them. Naruto still refused to talk about his family, and Lucius was gaining more and more respect for the boy by the second. Just then trenchy and his cronies walked up to them to escort him to the train. With a single look Naruto gave Maxwell, it told him not to speak or else. And seeing that this was an Uzumaki, Maxwell decided to keep his health and refused to give any information to the Malfoys when the asked him about Naruto. "Well Naruto it was very nice meeting you, we need to make a quick last minute stop so we'll see you another time." Narcissa said and Draco waved to him, "see you on the train mate, save me a seat." Naruto nodded and waved as they left.
King's Crossing
"Soooo, you want me to go through the wall?"
"Yup"
"Really, your not fucking with me?"
"No I'm not it's perfectly safe"
"Is this revenge for turning you into a pink cat? In my defence, it was a bad wand pairing," Naruto told Maxwell as they stood before a colome between platform nine and ten. "Look I'll show you" he said looking around to make sure no one was looking in their direction. He then grabbed Naruto's cart and disappeared through the wall. After seeing nothing bad happened Naruto followed and when he came out the otherside he saw a giant red steam train with the writing on the side saying Hogwarts express. "Why don't you go get on while I get this stored and talk to the conductor for you?" Maxwell said with a smile.
"Thanks trenchy see you later" and then Naruto left him standing there with a confused face.
"Who's Trenchy?"
On the Hogwarts express
It was crowded on the train. Naruto struggled to get through the throng of kids and checked the compartments. Most of them were full and some had others who were waiting for their friends. So he moved on until he found one with two kids in it. One was a dark skinned boy with a close shave, and the other one was pale and had brown hair.
He opened the door and poked his head in.
"Hey can I join you guys?" he asked looking at them.
"No sorry we're full" said the paled kid.
"But there's only two of you and this compartment is big enough for six people."
The dark skinned kid got up and tried to push him out. "Get your trashy arse out of here you dunderhead. We are very important people in the wizarding world so we don't need to be stuffed in like luggage with the rest of you trash." Naruto looked at them with a raised eyebrow before reaching behind him and into his pouch. He pulled out nothing dangerous, because they would be confiscated, except his kunais, he was aloud those for when he trains in his shinobi skills. He pulled out a roll of duct tape and brought it in front of him. Both boys laughed at him as they saw what he brought out.
"What are you going to do tape our mouth shut or something ha", the paled boy said as both of them were laughing.
A loud screech was heard when Naruto stretched some type, "Or something".
_Few seconds later_
Naruto sat down by the window and opened a history book to learn more about this magical world. He used the duct tape to hog tie the boys and some to gag them to shut them up.
"Mmmm mmmhmmhm"
"Mhmm"
"Oh shut up you two, I'm trying to read here," Naruto told them as he looked up at the boys tied with their hands and feet together behind their backs. Before coming here, duct tape was a magical item to him back home. You could use it to tie up enemies, use it to fix items like a broken kunai, he had to do that in the middle of a battle because he was out and used the now taped kunai and killed his opponent. You could also use it to build useful items, one time he used duct tape to build a slingshot that he and Anko used to shoot paint balloons all over the village.
Naruto's Pranking rule number three- Always have duct tape on hand. Never know when it'll be handy.
Naruto returned to reading his book when the train took off. For a few minutes he sat there reading and the boys still tied up, when the door opened and Draco came in with two girls. One was dark hair that went down to her shoulders, dark brown eyes and a nose that was just like a pug dog that Kakashi has, and the other girl was a long blond haired and green eyed and was pale like her companion.
Draco looked at Naruto first without seeing the other two boys. "Hey Naruto can we join you? These are some of my other friends, Pansy Parkinson" he gestured to the pug nosed girl, "and Daphne Greengrass" he said pointing to the blond haired girl.
"Sure'
Draco and the girls came in and when they finally laid eyes on the other two boys tied up in a corner they all started to laugh.
"Mmmhmm"
MhMh!"
"Hahhaha, oh man Naruto that's hilarious" Draco told him as he laughed again at the boys. "Hey there Blaise, Theodore you guys seem a little tied up at the moment should we leave." everyone laughed again as he tore off the tape covering their mouth. Or at least he tried to, the tape would not come off. He turned to Naruto and waved at the tape, "if you could I think they learned not to mess with you mate". Naruto snapped his fingers and the tape fell off the boys. It was industrial shinobi duct tape after all, and can conduct chakra.
As they all sat down, Naruto sandwiched between Pansy and Daphne while Draco, Blaise, and Theodore sat on the opposite side.
"So what did you guys do to piss of Naruto?" Draco asked them with a smirk still on his face.
"We may have insulted him and called him trash," Theodore said as Blaise nodded in agreement.
"Just so you guys know, Naruto here is from a pureblood family. He's an orphan and just learned about his parents a few days ago," Draco told them. Blaise and Theo looked down now with regret for insulting him, and Pansy and Daphne now looked at him with a little bit of pity. "He doesn't like to talk about them but they must of been someone very important if my father couldn't get the Aspen employee to move him out of the executive suit. They even bowed to him." Now the others were looking at him with more respect, wondering how important he really is.
"Draco?"
"Yea mate?"
"Shut up."
Draco decided to change the subject hoping to avoid the same fate Theo and Blaise suffered. They talked about a few things, like what house they want to be in, what they did on their summer vacation, and they even got to know a little about Naruto. He told them that he never knew magic existed and wasn't told about his parents because they had many enemies who would not think twice on getting revenge on a child. They also learned that he was in love with ramen. A lady with a trolley full of candy came by, and asked if they would like to buy any treats. They all pitched in for some and even treated Naruto since he's never had magical candy before. He tried acid pops for the first time, they burned a hole through his tongue and he swore that these are used for torture. 'Maybe I should get Anko-nee a few packs, she would love to try them out on her…...visitors' he thought trying to get his tongue working again. They opened a pack of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and played a few rounds to see who got the worst flavored bean. And every round Naruto got a fruity bean or one that was like a delicious piece of meat cooked perfectly. And one time much to his great delight a ramen flavored bean that he declared as the best bean in the world. Everyone chuckled at is antics and they also greatly enjoyed his company.
Pansy gave him a chocolate frog to try and he looked at her in shock.
"You dip live frogs in chocolate, what the fuck is wrong with you guys!?" Naruto said as the others stare at him. They couldn't believe he would curse.
"No their shaped like frogs, and are enchanted to act like one, they are completely made of chocolate," Daphne told him. He opened it up and caught the frog before it jumped away in mid air, and ate it. Sure enough it was chocolate and not frog guts he tasted. 'Feww, thank kami that I didn't end up eating another frog. Their just nasty'.
"Nice catch there mate" Blaise said. "Open it up more they usually have collectable cards of famous wizards."
"Yea we all collect them we're only a few short and trying to find the ultra rare ones" Draco said gesturing for Naruto to look inside. And so he did and when he pulled out the card he froze and his eyes widened. The women on the card was the most beautiful women he's ever seen. She had long flowing crimson hair that reached past her hips. She had a heart shaped face and violet colored eyes. She was grinning at him while placing one hand on her hips and pumping her other arm holding a wand up and down in victory. He stared at her for what seemed like forever swearing that she felt familiar to him.
Pansy and Daphne lean over his shoulders to look and their eyes widen. "Oh my god you got a super rare one". "Yea thats Kushina Uzumaki, one of the greatest witches in the world." the girls said talking to the boys.
"No way" Theodore
"Damn your lucky" Blasie
"Hey do you mind if I have it, it's the only one I'm missing," Draco asked
"No!" Naruto yells out moving it away from Draco. "If you wouldn't mind I'd like to keep it" he told them as he placed it in a breast pocket near his heart. It was the first picture he had of his mother.
"Damn and I would have finished the entire collection" Draco pouts.
"But your sure are lucky mate" Theodore said. "The Uzumaki's are basically royalty in the magical world."
"No shit?" Naruto asked in a sarcastic tone that nobody picked up.
"Totally, they basically created this world for witches, wizards, and all other magical creatures. Way back then witches and wizards were attacked and killed by muggles, and the magical creatures were hunted for sport or like the house elves enslaved. They freed them all and separated the two worlds wiping away any knowledge of magic from the muggles."
Now Naruto understood why everyone was so in awed with him. His family built the world where they were free to live in peace. "Their also the wealthiest family too," Blaise said. "They say that with all their wealth they collected over the years you could by the magical world several times over."
Draco decides to pitch in, "they come from the hidden continents that's located in the bermuda triangle. One of them cast a powerful illusion over the land and no muggles are able to enter. Even the witches and wizards are careful going there. They say that the people over there have mastered wandless-magic and even made their magic more powerful." Naruto knew they were talking of the elemental countries and this wandless-magic was jutsus. They are called wizards but apparently very few know them as shinobi.
Just then the door opens again and a brown bushy haired girl sticks her head in. "Have anyone seen a toad, a boy named Neville lost his?" she asked as they stared at her. "Oh, clumsy Longbottom lost his toad, probably trying to run from him," Draco says laughing with Theo and Blaise as the girls giggle. Naruto looked on with inintrest. Neville comes running up to the girl and couldn't stop in time and they both ended on the ground.
"Sorry about that Hermione, but some kids said that Trevor went that way," he pointed towards the front of the train. The others laugh again as they saw that and made some comments about him being clumsy. Neville looks up at them and then spots Naruto.
"You!"
Naruto just raised an eyebrow. "You know this clumsy bottom" Draco asked him.
"You got me in trouble with my gram. She grounded me until I graduate. All because you told me to tell her to shut up." the group besides Naruto and the other two in the hall laughs at him.
"I believe I told you to stand up for yourself and tell her to fuck off," More laughter. Hermione looked at him with a scowl thinking him a delinquent with low vocabulary if he curses all the time.
"Let's go Neville", as they left Naruto got up and followed them telling the rest he was going to check out the rest of the train. They all nodded to him as he left.
He caught up to them asking them if he could help.
"Why would you help me. You got me in trouble."
"Look Neville I was trying to help you stand up for yourself. You won't go very far if you let people walk all over you. And besides, you can't win every time, you just lost that once doesn't mean you won't win next time." Hermione was impressed, he only tried to help Neville stand up for himself, maybe she was wrong about him at first.
"Besides since you lost the battle of wills I didn't have to wait for my robes," Naruto grinned at them. No she was right the first time. She's always right.
So they walked down the hall looking for Neville's toad when they lost Neville and Naruto and Hermione ended up continuing on. Naruto turned to her to start a conversation because he wanted to meet new people that were not bias against him.
He was able to get her to start talking and he almost regretted it. Once she started talking there was no way to stop her, she told him that she just learned about the magical world for the first time when she got her letter. Bother parents were dentists and they didn't have magic. She enjoyed reading, and read several magic books so she would be prepared for Hogwarts. And she wants to learn as much about this world as she can.
"Yea, I just learned about this place the same time I got a letter. My mother was a witch but I never knew her or my father since I was born. I hope I can live up to their expectations" he told them as they moved to another cart to check.
"Sorry about your loss. Are you excited that you get to walk in their footsteps?"
"Yea I'm actually excited to go back to school. It's been five years since I've been to the academy."
"What!?" hermione turned back to him, "you haven't been to school since you were six, but what about an education"
"I graduated my academy early at the age of six when I passed all the classes. The only one to ever do that was Kakashi-sensei. I studied very hard and days on end with no sleep to pass my classes and worked harder than most would during their studies."
Hermione was now even more shocked as she looked at him. He graduated his school early at six! At six! She never got to graduate early, her parents said that she should enjoy school and make some friends. She never agreed with them on that, and she couldn't find anyone to be friends with her. They were stupid or shallow and never put any effort in their school work. She didn't need those kinds of friends. She was a little jealous that he got to graduate early and hope maybe they can study together and become friends.
They smiled at each other as they reached the cart and poked their heads in. hermione saw a red headed kid with his wand out looking like he was about to perform a spell and she also saw a black haid kid with glasses taped together and a lightning scar on his forehead. "Have you guys seen a toad, a boy named Neville lost one?"
They both shook their heads as Naruto appeared, "oh hey Harry I see you made it", "hey Naruto how are you?" Harry asked. Both Naruto and Hermione sat down and faced the two boys. "Good just excited to learn magic". Everyone nodded in agreement. After introductions were made and Hermione and Ron made a big deal over Harry Potter, Naruto decided not to mention his last named, Hermione turned to Ron, "I see your about to do some spell, well let's see then". "Ok then, sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow."
Nothing happens except Naruto snorts at the incantation. "Was that supposed to be a charm? Well it wasn't a very good one," Hermione tells Ron making Naruto laugh out loud. Harry just covers his mouth to hold in a chuckle. Ron's face turned the same color as his hair and turned to Naruto, "what are you laughing at like you could do better." Naruto wipes away his laughter and takes out his wand to point at Harry. Harry leans back a little, just then Naruto spoke a spell from one of his book of spells, Reparo. As he spoke Harry's glasses repaired themselves and the tape disappeared.
"Oooo that was a really good job Naruto" Hermione said impressed. She thought she was the only one who read their books before school started. 'He did graduate early so maybe he studies just has hard as I do. That's it then I'll make him my study partner, finally someone who won't just copy off me" she thought as she looked at him.
They all heard croaking and they all turned to the door to see a toad hopping down the hall. Both Naruto and Hermione rush up to the door. Naruto looks back at Harry and waves, "see you later Harry, Ron" and goes to follow Hermione. As they got down the hall Neville once again barrels into Hermione while Naruto dodges to the side and picks up the toad before it had a chance to hop away.
"I'm so sorry Hermione I saw Trevor and was trying to catch him."
"It's alright Neville but get off me" Hermione tells him as they both once again got up. Naruto looks at them with a smirk. "Looks like Neville has a thing for you Hermione" he told her as he chuckles.
"Oh shut it" she replied back glaring at him. He handed Trevor back to Neville telling him to have a firmer hold so it wouldn't happen again, when the conductor ran up to them. Hermione and Neville were a little scared thinking that they were in trouble, Hermione more so because she never got in trouble before and school hadn't even started yet. Naruto saw the look on the mans face and sighed knowing where this was going to go.
"I'm terribly sorry my lord for not finding you earlier. If you would like to follow me we have your personal cart ready for you and your companions with some refreshments." He said while bowing to Naruto. Both Neville and Hermione had their jaw dropped and were staring at Naruto with shock. He turns to them, "so you guys want to go?" he asked as he started following the man. Both of them ran after him and they were escorted to the front of the train and into another cart that had a red spiral crest on the front of the door. They entered into a open cart filled with benches on either end and cushioned to feel like clouds and sprinkled with orangish red pillows. There was a few tables by the benches and chandeliers above their heads. Mini bars filled with all assortment of snacks and drinks for their enjoyment. The conductor left them and they found a bench to sit at with Naruto facing both of them. Surprisingly it was Neville who spoke up first.
"What , Naruto you never told us your family was super important. Who were they"
"Yea Naruto aren't we friends, at least tell us your last name. Who were your parents?" Hermione added looking at him with wide eyes.
"Well my full name is Naruto Uzumaki, my mother was Kushina Uzumaki. My family is apparently really important in the magical world and that's about all I know. I never knew them growing up and their identities were kept from me to protect me from their enemies." he told them as the sat there listening. They were more shocked when they learned his family name and that his mother made the biggest name for herself.
"Naruto, your more popular than Harry Potter. Your family basically owns the wizarding world," Neville said excited to meet someone from the Uzumaki family. They were very inspirational to him.
"I've read about her in history of the Uzumaki, she was a very powerful and inspirational witch. I hope I could be like her when I'm older" Hermione said, "and I know you'll make her proud no matter what Naruto" she finished. He smiled at her with his true smile and she smiled back with a little blush. He really did have a great smile.
They talked some more and he learned a little more about Neville. They made it to the Hogsmeade train station and exited. Naruto spotted Draco walking with the others heading towards Hagrid who was calling all first years over to him. Hermione and Neville wandered off and so he joined back up with Draco and co.
"Hey Naruto where'd you go, by the way this is Crabbe and Goyle their some more friends of mine, guys this is Naruto my new friend." Draco introduced them and they gave a wave to each other. They were taken to the lake and boarded four to a boat. He sat with Draco, Blaise, and Theodore watching the boat take off and was guided by magic. Naruto saw Neville fall over the side of his boat only to be set back in it by a large tentacle. "That be the giant squid living in the lake. Don't worry it won't harm any students." Hagrid yelled out. As they rounded a bend Naruto got his first look at Hogwarts where he would be staying for almost a year. It was a giant castle by the lake with large towers and windows everywhere glowing a soft yellow with candle light. He was amazed at this and now it just dawned on him, he wasn't in Konoha anymore.
Hogwarts
They were led up the stairs by an old witch wearing emerald robes and a pointed hat, and they made it to a pair of double doors before the women turned to face them. "I am deputy headmistress professor Mcgonagall. In a few minutes the sorting will begin where you will be placed into one of four houses. Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff. Gryffindor, or Slytherin. You will abide by the school rules. While doing good deeds and exceptionally on your work gain you house points, but breaking these rules will lose you house points. At the end of the term the house with the most points will win the house cup. Now wait here a moment and I shall return to retrieve you."
As they waited Naruto looked around seeing the moving stairs and the paintings on the wall talking with students. They also were able to enter other paintings and talk with each other. 'These would make great guards back in Konoha. No one would look twice at them and they would be able to alert the anbu. I just need to find out how to make these photos.' Then they saw the ghost floating by them and a few students gasped or screamed a little. Naruto found himself on Draco's back with wide eyes.
"Get off me mate your heavy as hell," Draco said as he and the rest of his friends laughed at him. "Sorry, just didn't expect that to happen" Naruto said while scratching the back of his head with a small laugh. They talked some more before Draco told them that he'll be back and he, Crabbe and Goyle walked up to the front of the group.
"So it's true then what they said on the train then, Harry Potter came to Hogwarts." Draco yelled out as he turned towards Harry. Naruto watched as his friendship got rejected and Ron laughing at him. Draco came back down towards their group with a glare on his face. "That Potter thinking he is so great he can just wave off anyone he wants!" That wasn't what Naruto saw but kept his mouth shut instead.
Professor Mcgonagall came back and brought them through the giant double doors. He looked up and saw that the ceiling looked like the night sky and there were floating candles above to light the hall. Hermione came up beside him, "I read in the book Hogwarts A History, that said it was enchanted to look like that." she told him as they came to a stop in front of a high table with what looked to be the professors of Hogwarts. He spotted Snape near the right side of the table next to a turban wearing man that looked like he was ready to jump out of the room. In front of the table was a stool with a old looking hat on top.
All of a sudden it spoke and sang a song about being the sorting hat and the personalities of the student that is best placed into one of the four houses. He looks around seeing four long tables filled with students, and there were a few empty seats for the first years. Mcgonagall opened a scroll and started reading out names. The person would then sit on the stool and the hat placed on their head before it yelled out which house they would be in. "Hermione Granger" Mcgonagall spoke loudly. He patted her on the back and wished her good luck with a smile. She smiled back before rushing up and sat on the stool while taking the hat from the professor and slamming it on her head. A few seconds later the hat yelled out, "Gryffindor" and she took of the hate and ran to her table. It had red and gold with a picture of a bird with a back end of a lion.
He watched as Blaise, Theodore, Pansy, Daphne, Crabbe and Goyle all get sorted into Slytherin, which was silver and green. He even chuckled when it was Draco's turn and the hat was barely on when it yelled out Slytherin. This continued on as less and less kids were left standing. Both Ron and Neville got sorted into Gryffindor. 'There must be some bravery and courage in him somewhere if he was sent there. Good for you Neville' Naruto thought as the last two students left were Harry and him.
"Harry Potter" Mcgonagall called out and the room went silent. There were a few whispers and Harry stood there frozen for a moment. Naruto gave him a small shove forward and he walked up to the stool and sat down. The hat was placed on his head and everyone held their breath. He could here the hat talking, it wasn't being very subtle at all. "Not Slytherin you say, you could be great. No then there is only one place for you…...Gryffindor" the hat yelled out and the gryffindor table cheered loudly. He saw a pair of red headed twins yelling at the slytherins, "we got potter, we got Potter". 'They must be related to Ron' Naruto thought. If Harry got this much attention, then Naruto feared what will happen next.
Mcgonagall looks down to speak the last name, "Naruto Uz…". she froze and her eyes widened at the last name on the list. She looked back at Dumbledore and he nodded to her as if telling her that it was correct. The hall became quiet watching Mcgonagall stumble saying the name. Draco looked at the rest of the table everyone was confused and wondered what was wrong. Why would the professore freeze reading Naruto's last name. Finally the answer came when Mcgonagall cleared her throat and spoke, "Naruto Uzumaki" she said just as there were gasps all around the room. There was not a sound to be made. Everyone was wide eyed looking at the only person left standing.
Naruto looked to the side and saw that his friends at the slytherin table had their jaws on the ground. No one knew he was an Uzumaki, and it didn't help that he had blond hair instead of the usual Uzumaki crimson. He walked up to the stool and sat down. The sorting hat was placed on his head, and he felt a slight tug on his mind. 'That's probably how it finds where to place them', "right you are" the hat said out loud. "My my what a complicated mind you have. I can see that your a genius and a protege. Maybe ravenclaw would be for you. No I found that you're quite the loyal one aren't you. Maybe hufflepuff? No no there's more. Oh ho oh, You are quite brave most likely the bravest one here, and your courage is quite outstanding", as the sorting hat said that, each house it mentioned were slowly getting more excited to hear if he would be in their house. The gryffindor were more excited when they heard the last part, especially Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hermione. If he was the bravest of them all then that would mean he would definitely be in gryffindor.
The sorting hat spoke up again, "and the deeper this mind goes, ahh haa, your very cunning, very cunning, and you have high ambitions, if you go for that perhaps slytherin is for you. It seems I'm at an impasse. You would do great in any house I put you in." The students and teachers were surprised. The hat always knew where to put someone. At the slytherin table Naruto's friends started to chant slytherin and as they did the rest of the table did as well taking up the chant. Slowly every house were chanting their house name wanting the Uzumaki to join their house. Then Dumbledore stood up, "Silence!" spoke loud enough over the chanting using magic. They all stopped talking when the hat spoke at last. "I have decided. Your potential is to precious to waste so off you go to…..SLYTHERIN!" the hat yelled at last. The room was defend by the roar of cheering going on at the slytherin table. A sixth year stood up, "ha we got a Uzumaki, much better than Potter dorks". No one saw Snape turn to the side and smile while pumping his fist in victory.
Naruto got up and walked over to the table sitting between Draco and Pansy. His clothes changed to silver and green of the house colors. As everyone started to quiet down Dumbledore stood up once more to address the students. "Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you." the students cheered and Naruto chuckled understanding what it was he was talking about. And then right before his eyes the tables were filled with all different kinds of food. He filled up his plate and started to dig in. It wasn't until he was on his second round of food that he noticed the entire table was staring at him.
"What?" he said with a mouth full of ramen he found and nearly took someone's arm off retrieving it.
Dealing with Naruto rule number 1- never get between him and his ramen. Only the Hokage stands a chance.
Draco decided to speak since he knew Naruto longest, which was only a single day. "Mate, your a Uzumaki, why didn't you say anything on the train."
"I told you before I didn't want to talk about it and besides I didn't know anything until I received my letter from Snape."
"But you could of said something, no wonder everyone was bowing to you."
They stopped when everyone at the table wanted to shake his hand, after that the conversation switched to his home. He told them the truth, because why not, it's not like it was a secret. He told them about being a shinobi. "Like a ninja?" asked Theo."no we are ninjas. We use hand seals instead of wands and we can move faster and punch stronger than any normal person can."
"damn , hey you think you can show us some of those jutsus later" Pansy asked excited to see the shinobi in action.
"Maybe some time when I go train".
The rest of his friends wanted to see as well but decided to wait when Naruto was going to take them to watch him train.
At the gryffindor table Harry learned about the Uzumaki's as well and he was awed by Naruto's family. Guess he was just as if not more popular than him.
As the food disappeared Dumbledore stood up once more to address the students. "Ahern - just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few start-of-term notices to give you. "First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well." Dumbledore's twinkling eyes flashed in the direction of the Weasley twins. "I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. "Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch. "And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
"He probably keeps a giant three headed dog there," Naruto jokes laughing with the rest of the table. "And now, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song!" cried Dumbledore. "Everyone pick their favorite tune," said Dumbledore, Naruto turned to his friends, "do you guys really want to see some of my jutsus?" he asked ginning a mischievous smile. The whole table said yes and he decided to give them something to remember.
At the head table Snape looked over at the slytherin and saw Naruto grin mischievously. It was that same grin that Kushina had right before a great prank. And so as a long time friend of an Uzumaki he braced himself and prepared to take cover. "And off we go!" Just then Naruto jumped on the table and used a single hand sign. A giant poof of smoke appeared across the slytherin table, when it disappeared there were female versions of Naruto in green and silver kimonos waving around giant fans and other copies of him playing instruments. And as the school bellowed the clones begin playing their instruments:
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins and Naruto. The twins were singing along to a very slow funeral march. Naruto's clones twirled around in a final diplaye before poofing. Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with his wand and when they had finished, he was one of those who clapped loudest. The twins gave Naruto a thumbs up and smiled at him, he gave it back in return. "Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"
As they left the hall he was surrounded by other slytherins clapping him on the back telling him that was the best show they seen ever. They walked down to the dungeons and faced a solid wall. One of the perfects spoke the password which was emerald serpent. As they entered the common room he noticed that they were under the lake and he could see fishes swimming by the windows. It seemed like it would be cold, but the fire in the fireplace kept the temperature warm. Snape was standing there by two hallways and looked at them with a scowl. "Welcome to slytherin house. I am professor Snape the head of house as well as your potions teacher. If there is a inter house problem it stays here, I do not want it to spill out into the halls. You will have tomorrow free, but I expect you to be ready for class the next day." With that he allowed them to go to their rooms. Girls on the left and boys on the right. As Naruto passed him Snape handed him a note.
Naruto found his room which he would share with Draco, Blaise and Theodor, to which they all celebrated. He picked the one closer to the wall and started to unpack before bed. The others just wanted to sleep but he had to set defences, which was a habit of his, a hidden kunai here and there and last he needs to get his shinobi gear put away. He took out a scroll and opened it to a seal that contained his gear. The others were watching him and widen their eyes as they saw a trunk poof out of the scroll.
"Now that's a way to travel. Very convenient" Blasie spoke up.
"Think you can teach us that?" Theo asked.
"Maybe later" Naruto said as he opened his trunk. He peered inside and stopped.
"Konohamaru what are you doing in there?" A brown haired boy with a yellow shirt and blue shorts with a very long blue scarf and wearing a pair of green goggles that Naruto gave him when he was seven, looked up at him and smiled. Naruto's eyebrow twitched hard, "not again".
Konoha
Kakashi looked up from his book and gazed into the distance. He giggled for some unknown reason. "Hmmm, payback sure is a bitch." he said not knowing why he said it.
Finally finished damn. So a few things,
One- Neville will be in this more than he would normally be because I can use him in later chapters.
Two- I put him in slytherin so I can separate him from Harry potter's dilemmas. And because I didn't know many people in the other houses I gave him Draco and friends. They two will be useful in later chapters.
And three. I did a lot of research on wand woods and cores so that I can give Naruto the best paired wand. Most fictions give him a elder wood wand but that's not him. Well to me at least.
Lastly I spent a lot time in Diagon alley because there were just so much for him to do. And I used this chapter to go into more detail about the Uzumaki's interaction with the wizarding world so that it can all fit together.
