Naruto bounded into the great hall the morning after the great feast, grinning, bubbly, mischievous. all as per usual.

it was in the early hours of the morning. 7am to be exact. hardly anyone was awake.

"oi! Naruto!" Sakura called at him from the Hufflepuff table, sitting opposite Sasuke, only a few early risers sitting in the great hall.

Naruto grinned and bounded over, sitting beside Sasuke.

"so, what did you find out from that Potter kid?" questioned Sasuke, poking the dumplings on his breakfast plate with his chopsticks.

"... errrr..."

both Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto.

"i... umm... well..." stuttered Naruto, sweating visibly.

Sasuke sighed exasperatedly and Sakura hit her forehead with her hand.

"you did find out something, didn't you!" shrieked sakura, standing up in her seat.

"i found out he likes saying the word 'Cedric' while he's sleeping!" Naruto said hurredly, raising his hands to shield himself if Sakura tries to attack him.

"'Cedric'?" questioned Sakura and Sasuke in unison, staring at Naruto as though he had just sprouted a foot out of his forhead.

"yeah! yeah! he's all 'he's going to kill cedric! don't let him kill cedric! dad! help me!'" Naruto mimicked, waving his hands around.

"... who's Cedric?" wondered Sakura, sitting back down.

"probably his boyfriend. he seems gay to me." Sasuke said casually, going back to poking his dumplings.

"ooohhh...?" asked Naruto, a mischievous grin worthy of Peeves creeping up on his face. "and how would you know that, Sasu-teme? are you gay too?"

Sakura gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth. 'Sasuke-kun! gay! ... that would explain why he never looks at girls--WAIT! NO! sasuke-kun isn't gay! he can't be!'

Sasuke slowly turned to Naruto who was grinning like a lunatic.

"... don't get your hopes up, dobe."

Naruto glared at Sasuke and got up on his seat, taking in a deep breath, raising his face so it is facing the ceiling.

Sakura stared. it looked like Naruto was going to expl--

"SASUKE UCHIHA IS GAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!" screamed Naruto, his voice echoing around every single room, corner and crevice of Hogwarts.

"SASUKE IS GAA---AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screamed, launching himself off the chair and sprinting out of the hall, a fuming Sasuke hot on his heels.
