Meanwhile Naruto had managed to get onto the roof without any one seeing him. He didn't want to be around others at the moment.
It was also getting darker and the stars were coming out one by one, until the sky was light up. "They look so beautiful tonight." Naruto thought as he lay on his back just enjoying the evening breeze.
With his enhanced hearing he could here that dinner was ready, but he wasn't very hungry. So he just stayed where he was and closed his eyes and falling asleep soon after.
Sasuke was walking around the house in the shadows so he wouldn't be seen. Everyone else was just about done with dinner and was told to get ready for bed, well more like the kids gathered in one room and talked about some trial that happened a few days ago and some lady in pink or something or another.
Something about an attack that happened at the beginning of summer, and how they couldn't use magic outside of school until they were adults, as in done school or eighteen. It sounded absurd compared to how the ninjas lived and became adults when they graduated from the academy at the age of twelve.
Outside the one room, Sasuke was listening to them talk in hopes to learn something new about them or this part of the world. 'What's with the exchange students, we are about to be at war. What was Dumbledore thinking?' Harry asked Hermione and Ron.
'With the war coming he must be planning something, or there must be another reason for bringing them here. We just have to figure it out.' Hermione answered thoughtfully.
'Something still doesn't feel all to right about those two. Especially the blonde one, something feels sort of evil about him, I don't know what it is though.' Ron coldly stated.
At that point Sasuke walked away from the window. He was about to go see how Naruto was doing on the roof, when he heard what sounded like rustling or some sort of movement above him.
He made his way to the roof. Only to see Naruto having what appeared to be quite the nightmare. He wasn't too sure what to do, so he slowly made his way over to his friend and knelt beside Naruto. "Wake up you are having a nightmare." Sasuke calmly said as he shook Naruto awake.
"Please don't hurt me.' Naruto whispered fearfully as he sat straight just a little fast and had to close his eyes for a moment before looking at Sasuke.
"Have you been getting nightmares lately, is that why you haven't been sleeping?" Sasuke asked concerned.
"Why do you care if I sleep at night? Or if I have nightmares or not any way?" Naruto questioned, with a hint of something else that Sasuke wasn't sure what it was.
"Why? Well because I care about you that's why. I mean you were there for me when no one else was so I just want to be there for you. So please let me help you and stop pushing me away." Naruto looked up at Sasuke with wide eyes. No one had ever said they cared for him before. 1
"Then where were you when I needed you? Oh wait you were trying to gain power, and not caring about anyone else!" Naruto whispered aggressively.
"I know I wasn't there for you when we were younger, but I am here now. Remember how you never gave up on me when I was lost? Well I won't give up on you ether" Sasuke asked, he really did want to help. Yet he wasn't sure what he could do to help his friend in need.
"Yes of course, but you were lost in your own darkness. I'm not lost! I'm fine!" Naruto was becoming more irritated. Naruto still didn't understand why anyone would want to help him in anyway.
Sasuke knelt in front of Naruto and forced his friend to look at him. "If you were as fine as you say you were, you wouldn't be having those nightmares." Sasuke let his friend go.
"The thing is, I have always had nightmares and if you weren't so full of yourself when we were younger you might have noticed. Yet it has only been recent that they have become too much for even me to handle. And before you ask what the nightmares are about. They have always been the same, the villagers beating and trying to kill me. But the worst one is when you walked out on us and dam near killed me." Naruto coldly stated as he stood up and walked to the ledge of the roof.
"We have all of our stuff sealed in scrolls that we will need for the whole year. So I'll see you tomorrow when we leave for the school, I am going to train alone before bed." With that said Naruto jumped down and walked to the field.
Sasuke half heartily climbed through the window into the kids room, where him and Naruto would share the room with the other boys. Thankfully they were asleep. So Sasuke picked one of the empty beds and lay down.
He was still hurt by the words Naruto had said. He never knew how much pain he had caused his friend until tonight. He ended up falling asleep thinking about all the ways he could make up for what he had done.
The next morning just before breakfast, Ron who was the last one to wake up, was not at the table, the first person to wake was Sasuke. 'Where is Naruto? I haven't seen him since he yelled at you and Harry then tried to punch Sasuke.' Ron asked as he found out he was not the last one to the table.
Just as the twins were about to question their brother Naruto walk in and sat in the only free spot next to Hermione. 'Good morning everyone.' Naruto greeted. Everyone greeted back, well not everyone, Sasuke remanded silent.
"You really should get some sleep or you might end up dead soon from over exhaustion." The nine tailed fox growled.
"You just don't want to me to die cause then that means it will be the end of you. Or are you starting to care about me and want to be friends?" Naruto asked in a very tired way, he didn't hide anything from the fox. Plus he liked to tease him, for he knew deep down they were buddies.
"I just don't want to be killed by a brat who didn't sleep for over a month." The fox replied.
Naruto having zoned out didn't notice Mrs. Weasley walk over to the table with a big plate of eggs and pancakes with a side of bacon for everyone.
'Hope everyone is ready and packed because after we all eat we are heading to Kings Cross station.' Mrs. Weasley happily said, snapping Naruto out of his thoughts and causing him to jump ever so slightly. 'Oh my, I didn't mean to startle you my dear.' Mrs Weasley apologized after she placed the plates down, then she went to hug Naruto.
Naruto eyes widened as he moved back unsure of what to do. 2 Seeing how Naruto was moving away she stopped and looked horrified. 'You don't have to be scared Naruto It's just a hug haven't you had one before by your parents, or even a friend?' Hermione asked, being the only one out of her and her friends that had found their voice.
Not sure what to say at a moment like this, he looked at Sasuke for help. Who sighed, normally he wouldn't say anything but he felt he should this time.
'You see me and Naruto don't have parents. My parents and everyone else in my family line were brutally slaughtered when I was the age of seven. Naruto on the other hand, his parents were mercilessly killed the day he was born. They were only alive long enough to name him. As for right now we both live alone.' Sasuke emotionlessly answered. He just happened to leave out the part where it was his brother that killed his family, and the part where it was a demon that killed Naruto's parents and that said demon was now living inside Naruto sealed away, not by anyone but by his own father with his last dyeing breathe.
Harry looked at the ninja with a whole new outlook, he felt more of a connection between them. He was still very much unsure of them still.
Ron looked from them to his family and no matter what he did couldn't imagine what it must be like to lose everyone he loved in one night.
Ginny felt the same way as her brother and was fighting back the tears as best she could. She even told herself that she would do everything in her power to help them feel wanted and welcome.
Fred and George couldn't bear the thought of life without the other and hugged each other and burst into tears.
Hermione wished she had never asked the question in the first place. She too was heartbroken, and wished she could help them in some way but didn't know how.
Mrs. Weasley took their story to heart the most. Now all she wanted to do was take them under her wing and care for them, for no child should ever have to go through anything like that.
Mr. Weasley wasn't sure what to do when he walked into the kitchen to find such sad faces. What really got to him was the heart broken look on his normally happy and loving wife's face. He rushed over to her and held her. 'What's wrong Molly dear?' He asked very worried. When she finished telling her husband what Naruto and Sasuke had just told her, he tightened his hold on her as she let her tears free.
"Great you two just had to break them. Especially the kind old woman. Just wait till she finds out you two didn't have a childhood like all the non-ninja and how you were or still are treated back home. Or how it was Sasuke's brother that killed his family. Bet she would die of a broken heart, and if not she would truly try and adopt the both of you." The nine tails sarcastically joked. Naruto just tried his best to ignore him, but had to agree with him sadly.
That's when Hermione snapped out of her thoughts and seen the time. 'We need to hurry or we'll be late and miss the train.' Hermione gasped as she ran off to get her stuff ready.
Then everyone else ran too following her. The only ones not running around were Sasuke and Naruto who already had their stuff. So they just sat and watched for close to an hour with last minute packing, wondering why none of them were prepared at all.
Once everyone was ready Mr. Weasley helped everyone place their things in one of the two cars there for them. 'OK last check does everyone have everything they need? Now Sasuke and Naruto you two sure you have what you need? I didn't see you carry anything.' Mrs Weasley asked.
'Yup we do It's just that where we are from we have different way of doing a lot of things, say packing, or traveling, and well fighting. We don't just stand around and point our wands, we also learn to fight hand to hand combat.' Naruto happily answered.
Hermione now had so many questions she didn't know where to start asking. So she decided to wait till they were all on the train to ask them when there was more time. 'Look at the time we have to hurry!' Mrs. Weasley streaked.
Waiting at Kings Cross was a bear-like black dog. That looked like it hadn't been bathed in years. As soon the cars stopped Harry jumped out and ran over to it. 'Sirius what are you doing here?' Harry asked the dog quietly, and everyone one else started to unload their stuff.
'I just had to see you. And ask you if you and your friends will come visit me over the holidays.' Sirius said, he sounded so hopeful. He was just too lonely at Grimmauld Place with only him and the house elf.
'Of course we will be there. In fact, there will be two new boys with us. Their names are Naruto and Sasuke. Plus once we were done here we were all going to come stay at your place and set up our operations there. Not only that but I'm sure it needs a good cleaning.' Mrs Weasley joyfully answered.
Upon hearing their names, the ninjas stopped helping and walked over to Mrs. Weasley and the dog. "I didn't think they had summons here did you Sasuke?" Naruto tilted his head to get a better look.
"I don't know if it's A summon." Sasuke answered Naruto's question.
'Umm, what are you?' Naruto outright asked the dog, while Sasuke just rolled his eyes. 'I'm an animagus.' Sirius answered.
'That's nice. Wait, what's an animagus thing?' Naruto asked confused.
'Well you see, animagus is a witch or wizard with rare ability to transform into a particular animal at will. It is a learned, rather than hereditary skill. But you all should be going, before you miss your train.' Sirius sounded happy to be talking to someone, yet sad at the same time for he knew they had to leave.
'Oh my, your right let's go! Come one before we miss the train!' Mrs Weasley was now rushing them with everything she could.
1 This was before Hinata confessed her love for him.
2 This was before he met his parents in his mind. Plus he was never shown kindness from the villagers, only hatred.
