"And I'm just saying your 'Houses' are stupid! How can you be effective with a bunch of people who are the same?"

Hermione looked confused, an anomaly that was happening more and more often since the ninjas came. "But with a House, with people of similar strengths, we can work better together and have a more harmonious experience at school." She sounded like she was reciting an excerpt from one of her school books. Which Harry thought, is most likely true.

"Yeah, except you all have the same weaknesses that can be easily exploited," Sakura countered.

"Not to mention that putting you all in special Houses makes you hate each other," Naruto added.

Sasuke merely glared disinterestedly.

"What would you do then?" Ron frowned.

"Obviously put different people together. That way they can cover for each other's faults."

"One person's weakness could be another's strong point. So not only will we work well together but we can also train each other to overcome our own weaknesses," Sakura finished.

"But that works because you guys are friends!"

They started laughing. Even Sasuke snickered.

"Are you kidding me?! No way! We hated each other!" Sakura gasped, trying to catch her breath. "Naruto and Sasuke were trying to kill each other every other day!"

"That's because he's a prick!"

"He's a complete moron."

The two boys paused to glare at each other

"But..." Sasuke started.

"At least we weren't fangirls!" Naruto finished pointing at Sakura. Sasuke tried (and failed) to suppress a shudder. Sakura grimaced guiltily.

"But we worked well together because we had to or else risk our own and other lives."

"And that was just training with our teacher!"
