Behind Harry were three people:
A boy with shimmering scarlet hair, wearing a black cap that covered everything above his glowing turquoise eyes that were rimmed with black. An aura of pain and darkness seeming to surround him, numerous piercings in his ears, one in his nose and Harry guessed there would be one or two in his eyebrows if he could see them.
A boy with white, pupil-less eyes. Brown, sleek hair in a smooth pony-tail, a silk, shimmering white bandanna around his forehead, and two silver, elegant studs in each ear.
And a boy with messy brown hair (nearly as messy as Harry's!), with red triangles on each cheek and a large white puppy on the top of his head. A lip-peircing, quite a few earrings and what looked like a tongue-peircing too ((have you noticed that i LOVE peircings?)).
All three of them wearing hogwarts uniforms.
"Kiba! Neji-san! Gaara-san!" gasped Sakura, standing up.
"Hey!" grinned the boy with messy brown hair and the puppy.
The boy with the pony-tail said nothing, but gave team seven and the hogwarts threesome a polite nod.
The boy with the dark aura had a flicker of a smile steal his features for a moment.
"DON'T DO THAT, GAARA!" shrieked Naruto, jumping up and flailing his arms around in horror at the almost-smile. "YOU'LL BREAK YOUR FACE!"
The boy named Gaara chuckled softly, dragging his eyes over the hogwarts threesome.
Sasuke and the boy with the pony-tail seemed to be having a glaring-contest, then suddenly the boy with the messy brown hair jumped in between the two of them, making both of them blink.
"HA! I WIN!" cheered the boy with the messy hair, flinging his arms up in the air, the puppy on his head yapping happily.
"Come sit down, Kiba!" chimed Naruto.
"Don't mind if i do!" grinned the boy named Kiba, stepping onto the chair beside Ron, stepping over the table and flopping down onto the chair next to Naruto.
"Gaara! Neji! You two too! Come sit down!" Naruto grinned.
Hermione made room on her other side, letting Neji gracefully slip onto the seat.
Gaara just stood there, looking up at the ceiling.
Naruto's smile slowly slipped off his face.
"... Gaara?" Naruto asked.
Gaara looked down from the sunny, yet slightly cloudy enchanted ceiling of the hall, to Naruto.
"You gonna come and eat with us, or not?" Naruto asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
Gaara shook his head, is glowing eyes having a flicker of loneliness in them.
"Gaa--" started Naruto, but the boy had already turned and swept from the hall.
"Damn..." muttered Naruto, pouting and looking down at Gamakichi, who was sitting in his lap.
Hermione looked at the two newcomers, Kiba setting the puppy on his lap, and Neji just sitting beside her, his shallow, white eyes raised to look at the enchanted ceiling.
"Mind if someone does an introduction?" asked Ron, looking seriously bewildered, looking from Kiba to Neji and back again.
"CERTAINLY, MY DEAR MAN!" cheered Kiba, flinging his arms up in the air and nearly toppling off his seat.
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka!" he grinned. "I live in the same village these punks do." he jabbed a thumb in Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura's direction. "And i like training and spending time with my dog, Akamaru." Kiba lifted the white puppy that was currently chewing on a spoon.
Everyone's heads swiveled to Neji like they were watching a tennis match.
Neji sighed softly, his shallow eyes closing.
"My name is Neji Hyuuga. I also live in the same village. I'm a year older than you all, but don't take it personally." Neji breathed, opening his eyes again and looking back up at the ceiling.
"Who was the other guy?" asked Ron, looking at Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke.
"His name is Gaara. An emo muffin if i ever saw one!" grinned Kiba, earning himself a swift elbow in the stomach from Naruto.
Naruto grinned as Kiba doubled over and pouted at him.
"Gaara's just misunderstood. He's not from our village, but we know him reasonably well." Naruto smiled brightly.
"You know him reasonably well. We don't." sighed Sakura.
"That's not my fault!" pouted Naruto.
Harry felt Neji's shallow eyes survey him for a moment, but he ignored it.
"And who might these pimps be?" asked Kiba, rubbing his bruised stomach and looking at Harry, Hermione and Ron.
"We're not pimps!" gasped Hermione, seeming slightly offended.
Sakura whacked Kiba on the back of the head, causing Kiba to yelp.
"What is this! Pick On Kiba Day!" he sniffed, rubbing his stomach and head.
Akamaru yipped in affirmation.
"I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ronald Weasely and Harry Potter." said Hermione professionally, motioning toward the correct person in turn.
Harry could've sworn he saw Kiba and Akamaru's ears twitch at the sound of his name.
There was suddenly a loud clanging bell, causing Kiba to topple off his chair and Neji to blink.
"Time for class!" sighed Naruto, stumbling off his chair, placing Gamakichi on his head and helping Kiba to his feet.
"Do you have your timetable yet?" Hermione asked lightly as she, Harry and Ron got up, looking at Neji, who was adjusting his bandanna with caution.
"The old gaffa said we can take our lessons with you bunch." said Kiba, holding Akamaru to his chest after Naruto had hauled him to his feet.
"'Old Gaffer'?" blinked Ron.
"The dude with the specks, shiny dress and silver beard." Kiba said.
"That's the Headmaster, Dumbledore..." sighed Sakura, hitting herself in the forehead.
"Batty old codger, isn't he?" grinned Kiba.
"You have no respect for your elders..." sighed Neji under his breath.
"Class starts in five minutes." Sasuke said in a matter-of-fact voice, standing up and taking an apple and placing it in his pocket, his silver snake silent around his neck, like a living necklace, Sasuke sweeping from the hall.
"Okay, Sasuke-kun, and I'm sure Gaara-san will be there, waiting for us." Sakura nodded (her slug still on her shoulder) grabbing Naruto (gamakichi still of his head), of whom grabbed Kiba (Akamaru still in his arms), of whom yelped while they were dragged off to the hogwarts grounds, Neji seeming to glide along behind them.
"... An odd bunch, aren't they?" asked Harry as he walked along beside Hermione and Ron toward the hogwarts grounds and Hagrid's hut.
Hermione and Ron nodded.
