A Magical Mission

I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter. I don't own any of the characters.

I'm so, so, so sorry hat I didn't upload this earlier! I didn't have much time to write and I don't want to post super-short chapters. But chapter 2 is finally out! I hope you like it. Thanks a lot for all reviews I got and please send me one if you have any critic or like it. I want to improve and I want to know what is good and what is bad! Also, I'm always afraid that my story sounds stupid and that my writing-style is bad. So please, please tell me! And again, my English is so not perfect so please tell me if I did any grammar mistakes, used a wrong word etc.

Well, have fun reading, Cy!

"Run through the WALL? Are you crazy?"

"Shut up, baka!"

"How troublesome"

"Neji, can you check?"

"Hai… Byakugan!"

"…"

"Well, this wall appears to be an illusion."

"Thanks, Neji"

"But… but we can't run through a wall!"

"It's an illusion, baka. Meaning we can, ne Kakashi-sensei?"

"Uh, yes. At least, that's what Dumbledore-san told us to do"

"Let's go… This is getting troublesome."

"But…"

"NARUTO!"

"H-Hai Sakura-chan"

"…"

Neji was the first to run through the wall, followed by Sakura, TenTen, Shikamaru, Naruto and Kakashi, making sure that everyone managed to go through the wall.

"Well… You guys get on the train" Kakashi said, pulling out his book

"Ne, ne what about you, Kakashi-sensei?" the blonde asked, his loud voice causing people around him to stare at the small group of shinobis

"Naruto, don't be so loud" Sakura hissed. A smile appeared on their Sensei's face slightly visible despite the mask. Some things never change…

"Well, I presume that you guys won't need help on the train so I'll be of gathering information. I'll meet you in Hogwarts. See you!" he said, ruffling Naruto's hair before disappearing in a cloud of white fumes "Mendokse" Shikamaru muttered and TenTen suggested "Let's get on the train and find a compartment!"

They made their way through the noisy crowd, mothers were kissing they're children goodbye, friends chatting about their holidays and the young shinobis heard the name "Sirius Black" quite often, whispered, with voices full of fear and a shadow seemed to glide over the happy faces of the parents and older students only to force a smile back on their faces when the younger ones looked at them confused and worried. The shadows in their eyes, however, stayed, fear of the one whose name they whispered and fear of even worse things to come, fear that the peace would end and the dark time they had grown up in would start again.

"Ne, Sakura-chan… Who is this Sirius Black?" Naruto asked and Sakura turned around frowning at him

"That's what you get from not reading the scroll" she murmured, obviously not willing to give an explanation but TenTen said "

He is a wanted criminal and we are supposed to protect Harry Potter from him" while Neji was glancing at the blonde boy with an annoyed but somehow worried look

"You better read the scroll before we arrive or there are going to be some big problems" he told him

"Neji's right. If you don't, this is going to get troublesome".

Sakura looked around, but most of the compartments were already full. Finally they found one with only there people around their age and a man, sleeping. Sakura opened the door

"Excuse us, but may we come in? There is no room in the other compartments" she said, smiling sweetly.

The three looked up and the girl with bushy, brown hair nodded and smiled "Sure" The five of them entered while the three wizards tried their best not to stare at them, especially Neji who didn't need any assistance even though he seem to be blind.

"I'm Haruno Sakura" the pink haired girl said elbowing Shikamaru next to her who was already staring outside of the window, looking at the clouds

"Huh? Oh, Nara Shikamaru"

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto and I'm…" he interrupted himself after noticing Sakuras death glare and remembering her words not to say anything about the Hokage.

"I'm TenTen, hi!"

"Hyuuga Neji"

"Nice to meet you!" the brown haired girl smiled

"I'm Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley and this" she made a little, dramatic pause "is Harry Potter"

The shinobi stared at the boy. Hermione looked slightly confused as their reaction wasn't quite what she expected. Normally, people were fussing around, staring at Harry's scar as long as possible without being to impolite. However, the shinobis were staring at the dark haired boy in front of them in disbelief, wondering why they didn't start to protect him earlier. He didn't look like he could fight at all, let alone a wanted criminal.

"Uh… what's wrong?" Harry asked. He was used to people staring at him but their stares were different, making him fell more uncomfortable then usual.

The girl, Haruno, blushed "Oh, nothing. I'm sorry"

"You guys got pretty weird first names" the red haired boy said, causing the girl to shot an annoyed glance at him. Boys! Sakura looked confused for a moment, then she remembered a little note in the scroll.

"Oh, no, they're not our first names. We say our family name first and then our real name" she smiled "So I'm Sakura and he" she pointed at Naruto "is Naruto and not Uzumaki"

The blonde was staring at the sleeping man "Who is that?" he asked, curious.

"That's our new teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin" Hermione said "He's probably just tired so we've decided to let him sleep"

They continued to talk as the landscape outside the windows changed, becoming wilder. The shinobis were trying their best not to give anything away about Konoha. Not all of the shinobis, however. While Sakura, Naruto and TenTen were listening to Harry's and Ron's complains about Snape, Shikamaru was looking outside the window, staring at the clouds while Neji was looking out of the window as well but it seemed a if he was looking at something distance, far away while fiddling with his headband.

Suddenly, the train stopped and the lights went of. The shinobi jumped to their feet, a kunai in each hand.

"TenTen, Naruto- stay at the door. Shikamaru, Sakura, protect the three!" Neji said calmly in Japanese, then forming seals he whispered "Byakugan! Some weird… creatures are entering the train. Not humans, be careful!" he said while the three wizards were staring at the shinobis, not able to understand what they were saying and they could hardly see what was happening because their eyes were not used to darkness.

A voice made them jump "Calm down" and suddenly Professor Lupin was standing, his hand burning, the flames illuminating the compartment and his tired face. His eyes, however, were sharp and wary.

He looked at the shinobis "Get back" he ordered "You can't fight them like this" The door slid open and Lupin's burning hand dimly lit a tall, hooded creature.

It seemed to look around and then it breathed in. It got cold. So cold, that their breath turned into little, white clouds but there was a feeling far worse than the cold, a cold that was everywhere. Pictures filled their minds, painful memories.

Neji gasped. The pictures washed over him, leaving him unable to breathe, his heart hurting so much, the pain getting unbearable. "Father" he whispered, unable to ignore the memories and his surrounding got blurry. This feeling of loneliness again. Pain. Kneeling next to his father's body, screaming his name, crying, the seal on his forehead still hurting. Why? Don't leave me…. Please! Pain, so strong that he fell to his knees, clutching his chest. Don't faint! He told himself but the pictures were stronger, the pain, far worse than any other pain, and he began to loose himself in the darkness and memories…

"Neji!" someone slapped him "Neji! Wake up!" He opened his eyes, seeing TenTen who was looking at him worried

"You're alright?" she asked, helping him up. He nodded, shakily.

"Y-yeah. Kind of" he murmured, looking around. One of the wizards, Harry, was lying on the floor, slowly getting up while Sakura and Shikamaru were trying to wake up Naruto.

"Is he alright?" he asked, looking at the blond boy.

His face was a mask of pain and fear and he whispered his voice full of fear and sadness "Why… I didn't do anything… Why me… Please".

The girl nodded "Yes, I think he'll wake up soon" she smiled at him "are you okay?" she asked and he nodded, even though he still didn't fell okay.

Lupin looked at him, then he gave him a piece of chocolate and smiled at him "Eat. You'll feel better afterwards"

Neji couldn't help but stare at him as he walked over to the others, giving them chocolate as well. "Wh-What was that?" Harry asked "A Dementor" Lupin answered, giving no further explanation as he opened the door and walked outside.

Hermione looked at Neji and Naruto, who had finally woken up, his face pale and Neji could see the pain the boy must have experienced in his eyes.

"Are you guys alright?" she asked and the two nodded.

"What happened?" Harry asked looking around with the chocolate in his hands.

"Well, this- the Dementor was standing there and as he started to breath in, you guys… collapsed" Ron explained, still shocked.

TenTen looked at Neji and Naruto "You two started shaking and… and then you screamed, Neji. You looked like you were in pain but you didn't response when we talked to you, you were just lying there… " She broke of, shivering. "And I felt weird like I was never going to be happy again"

The others in the room nodded and then Harry suddenly asked "Who screamed?"

"N-no one screamed" the red haired boy said and Hermione's voice sounded very concerned as she asked "Harry, are you sure that you're okay?"

The shinobis looked at each other "Gen-jutsu?" TenTen suggested, looking at Neji and Naruto "What happened? What did you see?" she asked.

Naruto shook his head, unwilling to speak, still looking shakily. Neji didn't want to talk either but he forced himself to speak "Memories" he said, his voice breaking. The pain was still there as if his wounds were torn open again, after they had finally healed somehow.

"Yeah" Naruto said "Painful, sad memories"

"It could be a gen-jutsu" Sakura pointed out, then a frown appeared on her face "These memories- they were yours, weren't they?" she asked and her frown deepened as they nodded "Is that even possible?"

Neji shook his head tired "I don't know. But they couldn't have used a gen-jutsu" he paused and the others stared at him but before they could say anything he said "Listen, I know this sound weird but I couldn't sense any chakra in these… these creatures. Their chakra system…" He shuddered "It was like the one of a dead body"

Harry was still feeling dizzy and his hands wouldn't stop shaking. The five foreign students were discussing quietly in a different language. What had happened? Why didn't Ron and Hermione collapse? He looked at the two others boys, wondering why they did. The blonde boy was very quiet compared to before when he had been shouting and grinning all the time.

The other boy, Neji, didn't talk much before but the calm, emotionless mask he had put on was broken and Harry could see that he, as well, was shaking. However, he managed to control himself better then the other boy and soon his face was emotionless again. The door opened and Lupin appeared. He smiled slightly as he saw that no one had eaten their chocolate "I didn't poison it… You'll feel better after eating it"

Neji stepped outside, breathing in the fresh, cold air around him and finally calming down. He hadn't eaten the chocolate because he didn't like sweets but had given it to Naruto. The blonde had looked much better after eating it; still Neji didn't regret giving it to him. Sweet things were just… disgusting. Shikamaru was next to him, trying to calm down a slightly hyper Naruto who had not only eaten Nejis but Shikamarus chocolate as well. Note to brain: Never give Naruto sugar. Ever.

They followed the three wizards who were telling TenTen and Sakura exited about something that sounded like Quiditch. Shikamaru had the (troublesome) job to stop Naruto from whatever he wanted to do while Neji was lost in his own thoughts walking silently next to the others.

He was the first one to spot the creatures in front of the carriages. They looked similar to horses, but there was no flesh underneath their black skin. He couldn't help but stop and stare at them in disbelieve. Such things exist?

"Neji, what's-oh my god" Soon all of the shinobi stared at the strange animals in front of them causing the wizards to look at them confused

"Uh, what's wrong?" Ron asked looking at the spot the shinobis were staring and saw- nothing. Absolutely nothing. As usual, the carriages were horse-less. The new students seemed to see something, however, as they were still staring at the blank space causing the wizards to question their sanity.

"Uhm, guys…?" Hermione asked carefully "What's wrong?"

"What are these things?" TenTen asked in awe "They're so pretty!"while Naruto, who was still hyper, was bouncing around screaming "They're sooo cool! Why can't we- au! What was THAT for, Sakura-chan?"

"Oh, just shut up, baka!"

"This is so troublesome… "

Harry, Ron and Hermione couldn't help but to stare at the shinobi , wondering how they always managed to end up with the freaks.

Neji turned around "So I presume you can't see them, can you?" he asked earning more confused glares

"See WHAT?" Ron demanded impatient "You guys have been acting all weird but there is nothing there!"

"You mean, you really can't see them?" Sakura asked confused. They were so obvious, standing in front of the carriages. How could anyone not see them?

"No, what are we supposed to see?" Ron cried frustrated.

Neji formed a seal and whispered "Byakugan", looking at the horses. They were real. Quickly, before anyone could notice the veins around his eyes, he turned them back to normal with a slightly confused look in his pale eyes.

"Uh, we should get on…" Harry suggested and all of them, realizing in shock that the last carriage (which was the one they had been staring at) was about to leave, hurried into it.
