AN: I know this chapter is really short, but it just happened that way. The next one will be decent sized again and I'll have it up soon!

We're getting closer to the exciting parts - which means it's also getting harder to write. :(

Thank you so much again for all the great comments and support! It keeps me working hard!


"Number four, Privet Drive, Surrey

"Number four, Privet Drive, Surrey!" Sakura announced happily as she slipped into a chair. Kakashi-sensei and Naruto had commandeered a table at a small café a few buildings down. Kakashi-sensei had what smelled like a cup of coffee in front of him while Naruto was happily munching on something light, fluffy and drenched in sugar and syrup. With a bright smile, Sakura snatched up the menu and started trying to read it. The four of them had quickly learned how to speak English, but reading it still took a bit of concentration for her. Jiraiya and Tsunade-sama were going to work on some form of genjitsu to help with translating and would hopefully have it done by the time they returned. Right now she had to decide which of these things sounded most like it would be eatable. So far, she'd had some bad experiences with anything fried or involving beef.

"There was a genjitsu," Sasuke stated as soon as they were near the table. He didn't sit down either.

Sakura glanced over at him and sighed. She had better order something for him as well. It wouldn't do any good for him not to eat. He didn't seem to care, despite the fact that this latest phase of the mission had gone so well. All she had had to do was smile and say "please" and "thank you" and those people had been very helpful. Or at least busy enough and completely unconcerned with what she did that it had been very helpful. The only difficulty was figuring out which room on the floor dedicated to Family Services was where they kept their records. Sneaking in had been easy for a couple of shinobi.

Kakashi-sensei glanced up. "A genjitsu?" he repeated.

"On his file," Sasuke confirmed. "It was fairly simplistic in nature, but still there. Someone is trying to hide him."

Naruto glanced up. "So there is a cousin. We're sure now?"

Sakura nodded. "Harry James Potter. Age 15. Born July 13, 1980. Parents James and Lily Potter, deceased October 31 1981. Legal Guardians Vernon and sister of the mother, Petunia Dursley, number four, Privet Drive, Surrey."

"Huh," Naruto replied. "He's almost our age."

"We don't have much time," Sasuke reminded them. He was scowling. Sakura sighed and started to put the menu back when Kakashi-sensei waved for her not to.

"But Sakura-chan has not eaten yet, Sasuke-kun," he said slowly. "After all that smiling and bureaucratizing, she must be very hungry. You should be too."

"But-"

"Sit."

Sasuke glared at him, but stiffly pulled out a chair and sat down. Not a moment later, a waitress appeared by their table and Sakura wasted no time placing an order of soup and salad for both of them. That couldn't be too horrifying. It had been a while since they had eaten anything, and even longer since they had eaten anything decent.

Kakashi-sensei was beaming at them from across the table. "While all my cute little students are getting their daily nutrition, I am going to go see to our funds." He stood up slowly, gave a lazily little salute and slouching, walked away from their table to disappear in the rush of people moving by.

"Huh?"

"He's going to go steal some money, Naruto," Sakura clarified.

Naruto frowned, but didn't say anything. The explanation seemed to pacify Sasuke some, since he relaxed out of the very stiff posture he had maintained ever since sitting.

"Did he leave the map?" he demanded.

Sakura sighed. At least it would give them something to do until their food arrived; and maybe Sasuke would actually be calm enough to eat comfortably once they had a plan. Everything would be alright, he'd see that. Potter-san was alive. Sasuke had a living, normal relative. Someone else to think about instead of just Itachi and power. He needed this. Team 7 wasn't enough for him. As much as Sakura and Naruto had wanted to be enough for him and had tried, they just weren't. They never had been and never would be. But they would always be by his side, and maybe, just maybe, this Harry Potter would be the one thing Sasuke needed to be a living, normal part of Konoha again.
