Memories Naruto floated one after another, Mika was always kind to him. Shafiq could say of his friend that he was a good big man. Although Blomkvist had always jokingly said that he would set him up with his sister, there was also a note of seriousness in his voice. Now the corpse of his friend lay before him. And there was absolutely nothing he could do.

Tears streamed from the hero's face to the already lifeless body of his friend. His friend's chest was torn open so that all the insides were visible. Naruto looked at his hand and that of his friend. And memories came flooding back.

*Flashback*

Naruto, Cedric and Michael were sitting at the table and was doing something.

-Guys, I know what to do — Mika took the wand and with a flick on the hand of each of them has a scar. — From now on, we are connected and if one of us is sad, each of us will feel it. - Our connection will not be lost even if one of us dies. But that will never happen. a smile appeared on the faces of the friends.

*end Flashback*

From this memory, the heart of the hero, even more strongly began to shatter into small fragments. At the moment, Shafiq wasn't paying attention to anything. The emptiness filled his soul more and more. After all, they met after Kerch broke Mika's arm. And Naruto decided to visit and thank Mike for help. In return, Flitz offered him his friendship in return. You see, basically the group of Mikael, Naruto and Cedric was called the deadly trio. The fact is that when one day Cedric was attacked by students from Slytherin, Naruto and Mika quickly knocked the dope out of these students.

Severus and Albus came running into the cave, the picture before them was so terrifying that even the usually bored Snape rolled down a stingy tear. His son was on his knees before a dead friend. A few moments later, the Professor and the Director noticed the corpse of the criminal. Alex Kerch's past had always been shrouded in mystery, and now it was clear why. Apparently Kerch was one of a group of death eaters who, even after bending their master, continued to intimidate the Wizarding world with their presence.

Some time later, Naruto calmed down a bit and carefully raised the corpse of his dead friend. In turn, Snape used the Wingardium levios spell to raise the death eater's corpse.

They walked to the castle in complete silence. Naruto didn't want to talk at all, the death of a friend left a deep scar in the soul of Shafiq. On arrival in the castle, the hero laid the corpse of a friend where Dumbledore pointed out to him.

All that the hero wanted was to forget, all the memories came flooding back. One moment, Mika hits him in the shoulder in training, and the next, he has his friend's bloodied body in front of his face again. Naruto already could not tolerate and exhausted fell into a dream. In his dreams and dreams, he was haunted by the sight of his friend's dead body.

In the morning, Shafiq came down to the main hall, his expression filled with pain. Cedric approached the hero with a smile.

- Hi Naruto, have you seen Miku? A light tap on Cedric's shoulder brought Shafik out of his trance.

-Cedric know Mick... he didn't get the hero to end up like Dumbledore got everyone's attention.

- Attention, among students schools Hogwarts was a death eater, in this moment this disciple was killed, but during tenure, he destroyed not few students. - Albus read out a huge list of Alex's victims, and at the end, the last name uttered by the Director threw Cedric into shock . - Michael Flitz.

- Naruto he same jokes, so after all? - Expression of faces young huffenduytsa, expressed clear distrust to only that heard words and he, with hope peered in face friend hoping that sounded words just an unfortunate joke, and that Mika incited only negatively shook his head. There were tears in Cedric's eyes, and he just walked out of the main hall and didn't show up all day. In contrast to Shafiq, who went to all the lessons.

Severus tried to talk to the son, but it seems Naruto did not pay any attention to him, most of the time Shafik looked only at one point. Sometimes Naruto would come out of trance only to comfort Cedric.

A week later

Naruto received a letter. The letter was an invitation to his friend's funeral apparently Miku was telling his parents about his friends. Shafiq went to his friend and put his hand on his shoulder, and Cedric turned and gave a slight nod to indicate that he was also going to the funeral.

There weren't many people at the funeral, Father, Mother, and a few friends. The only thing that attracted the attention Naruto is a girl a year older than him, it seems she was suffering from this situation the most. It seemed oddly familiar, a little bit forgotten. He understood this was a girl from the 2nd year, at home Slytherin. When the father, mother and daughter got up to say a few words about their son, Shafiq threw himself at their feet.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save your son, I should have died with him.- Tears again appeared in the eyes of Naruto, the hero clenched his fists to such an extent that the nails tore the skin on his palm. He expected to hear shouts and reproaches, but instead he heard words spoken in the calm voice of Miko's father. "Get up and dust yourself off, you couldn't, but you tried, and he's happy about it. Our son's death was noble, because he died so that you could kill this vile man.".

Naruto got up and went to Cedric who in turn put an encouraging hand on the shoulder of a friend, after that the funeral was held in a more the end of the ceremony, the Flitz family invited Cedric and Naruto to come to their house. They were sitting comfortably, but Miki's sister was a little further away. This bothered the hero. He didn't know why, but he went to the girl and hugged her very tightly. Even though she was shouting for the idiot to move away, he wasn't listening to her. After a few minutes, the girl began to cry.

From their conversation with their parents, they learned that Micky had told his parents a lot about his friends. Also from the conversation, they learned that the girl's name is Stella. She was short, about 156 cm tall, with light brown hair that fell to her back, and eyes that were a pleasant emerald color. The whole conversation she looked at Naruto and muttered idiot with a small blush on his face.

In the evening, Shafiq and Cedric decided to return to Hogwarts , and Stella decided to stay with her parents. Cedric all the way made fun of Naruto and said that even after the death of Mick woos the hero and his sister. Although puffinus did not expect that he will break over these jokes nose (with one blow to the nose, ha._.).

About a week later, Naruto tried to persuade Cedric to study Animagus, and after much effort, his attempts were successful. Speaking of transformations, Shafiq did fall for the twins ' joke. When he transformed in another version of themselves with tail and ears all girls immediately tried to grab Naruto, not helped and his expression of irritation — nose was tense that betrayed him even more mimimishnosti, and big eyes forced some girls fall in swoon. No one expected the light brown blur to sweep past and drag her away, such a lovely creature.

Stella took Naruto to her room in the Slytherin Dorm. The hero was about to thank her, when a gentle hand touched his mustache, a purr escaped from Shafiq's throat, and a sigh of delight was heard from Miki's younger sister. Easy blush turned into a bright red, when Naruto tried to escape and accidentally touched her chest, though after that he experienced the full force of her anger on himself. With screams of pervert, she pounced on him and beat him to a pulp . After that, she threw him out of the room, right in front of the girls, who were going to their rooms. What can be said about this situation is only "complete shit". He had to hide under Cedric's jumper (it smelled bad). From that moment on, Cedric had a new nickname ," stinky Sed."

The next morning for the Weasley twins, it was difficult enough, All their clothes were stained with orange paint and not a drop was not wiped off. Lee had to share her spare clothes with them.

In the morning, Naruto approached Stella. Ignoring the hateful looks of all Slytherins.

- Stella forgive me for yesterday's day, let's become friends — and Naruto with a small, but sincere smile held out his hand to the girl.

- FOOL-the Cry rolled around the hall, attracting the attention of every student at Hogwarts. A hard blow to the groin caused Shafiq to bend over. The girl's red face remained unnoticed by the hero. In her thoughts, the girl noted "How could I fall in love with such an idiot".

Sad ran up to him and carried him to the Gryffindor bench. After not a small shock, everyone went back to their business.

"Sad, you smell good already." - - Embarrassment appeared on the face of Cedric, he muttered something about the sensitive nose of all sorts of blondes. But most of All naruto was confused by the fact that his father came up to him and weighed the bream with the words, with you money for curtains. Dumbledore, so at all approached him with words not wants whether he with him do rejuvenation faces and inject Botox.

Naruto with a stunned face and thoughts about what is wrong with this school, went to his room, where he was waiting for his cousin Hagrid's poop.
