A/N: Hey, I'm back, with most of my school stuff done. Heh, wow, seventh chapter already, I'm so surprised with the reaction I'm getting from this, you people rock.

Reviewer Stuff: About the staring at Harry stuff, eventually we'll all learn about how Draco and what he's been up to (hopefully... if I don't forget to add it ') Smut? -blushes- I... uh... -red as a tomato- oh god, I'd never be able to write any smut -head's about to explode from blushing- sure, admit I read some smut but I don't think I'd actually be able to type down a scene like... OK NEXT REVIEW -still flushed-

Silly Gallatica, there are eye holes in the masks How else would they see through the masks if there weren't? Well, heh, yeah... Draco saw Sasuke's eyes through the openings.

Well, personally, Hikari no Kurai, I'd be quite scared if someone put a kunai against my throat and told me that they've killed people for knowing more about them then I did, maybe that's just me though XD It seems that Harry and Ron are more scared about it then Mione was and they weren't the ones that were threatened.

Thanks for the motivation, Author sama277, your review almost made me fall out of my chair laughing

Tsk... I dunno... I DO like peanut butter a lot... -considers-

Previously:

Harry looked up at the black haired guard, then over to the Slytherin Table.

He watched as Draco looked up from his meal and over to the dark haired guard, then, much to Harry's surprise, Draco shuddered when he saw the guard then immediately looked back down.

'It seems we were lucky that we met Fox instead of... the other one...' Harry thought, but it wasn't too reassuring...

Chapter 7

.dinners.

"Today..." Professor Snape started, "We will be learning about the Polyjuice Potion..." his comment gained the interest of some of the students but three in particular sighed, they already knew how to make the potions, and the girl of the group didn't really want to relive the experience.

"Tomorrow, you and a partner will be attempting to make the potion. During the summer, I started with some of your ingredients, now, someone, tell me why..." he looked around the room, they all looked confused.

Then one hand bolted up in the air, anyone could have guessed who's hand it was, "Granger?" Snape said through his teeth.

"You had to start the potion over the summer because the lacewing flies have to be stewed for 21 days." (1)

"Correct..." he said reluctantly, "now, what does this potion do?" Hermione's hand was once again in the air, but about two seconds passed before Draco's arm lazily raised.

"Draco?" Snape asked with a smirk.

"When you drink the potion, you can transform into someone to look exactly like them..." Draco answered.

Snape's smirk grew a bit, "Good, thirty points to Slytherin."

Harry watched the exchange in silence, 'Some things never change... Snape playing favorites, potions with Slytherins...' he thought. To him, the class seemed to be dragging forever. One reason because it was Snape's class, and the second...

He turned around t see one of the guards sitting on the top of a bookshelf, it was Fox, he swung his legs back and forth carelessly, watching the class.

He had been there since the class started- just popped onto the bookshelf silently. Snape had been angry at first, but now, he only sent Fox a cold glare every once in awhile.

Harry sighed- Snape had started is lecture of the Polyjuice potion, 'Might as well pretend to take notes so I don't get any points taken away...'

Harry was scowling, he had just gotten out of Potions and by the end, Snape had managed to take away over one hundred points for Gryffindor.

Lunch was next, so he had to run up to the Gryffindor tower to get his books for the class after lunch, Charms

When he was turned the hallway to the Fat Lady's portrait, he saw a boy hitting his head against the wall.

"Stupid! Stupid!" he yelled over and over again. Harry took in the sight of him. The boy had sandy blonde hair and, if height was anything to go by, he looked about eleven or twelve.

"Um... are you okay?" Harry asked, concerned for the boy. The boy picked his head up from the wall and looked over. His eyes noticeably brightened.

"You're Harry Potter!" the boy, whom Harry noticed had impossibly blue eyes, and oddly enough... three whisker marks on each cheek... odd..., yelled.

Harry gave a weak smile and nodded.

The boy pointed to his robes, or more specifically, to the crest for Gryffindor house.

"It's my first year here, right? And I forgot my books for herbology in my room! So I run up here and then I realize- I can't remember the password!" the boy looked up at Harry with pleading eyes.

"The password's Phoenix Feathers." he answered the boy's question, then repeated the password to the Fat Lady.

"Thank you!" the boy said happily. Harry opened the portrait door, holding it open for the boy. The boy waved goodbye to him then ran off down the hallway.

That left a very confused Harry Potter to stand at the Portrait entrance, "What… about your… books?" he asked the empty hallway.

He shook his head, wondering if he was that strange when he was a first year, then went through the portrait to get his book.

Naruto was grinning as he ran through the hallway, then turned a corner and greeted his partner.

"Mission complete! The password is Phoenix Feathers!" Naruto said happily.

Sasuke nodded, then looked at Naruto's henge form, "Why'd you use the Genin version of yourself?" he asked, then pointed out, "Plus you changed your hair, it isn't as yellow as it usually is."

Naruto looked up, as if to look at his hair, then grinned again, "It's fun messing with that Potter kid. I have a feeling that we'll eventually be mask-less in front of him, so we might as well give him some hints before then…" he ran a hand through his hair, then dropped the jutsu with a puff of smoke.

He was back in his Anbu gear, he fixed his mask then continued, "But it'd be way too obvious if I showed up with my normal hair, he would be able to tell it was me because no one in this school has anything close to my color…"

Sasuke nodded, mask hiding a small smile, then a burst of smoke clouded their view.

When the smoke cleared, in the place of Sasuke stood a miniature version.

Naruto ruffled twelve year old Sasuke's hair, "You're so cute like that! You were such a shorty!" he exclaimed, proud of the fact that he was, for once, taller then the black haired shin obi.

"You still are a shorty…" Sasuke said simply, blocking a punch from Naruto, then continued, "Well, I've got to go get the password for Slytherin…" then walked off, leaving Naruto to compliment himself on his acting skills, he giggled, going starry eyed and mimicking his earlier statement.

"Oh my god! It's Harry Potter!" he said in a high voice, then laughed out loud again, walking through the hallway to go to the Great Hall.

The guards stood watch at dinner, both on opposite sides of the room. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, girls were gossiping, guys were talking about Quidditch, a few conversations about their classes that were going on, but nothing that seemed suspicious.

Naruto didn't trust the scene, he just had this feeling in his gut- something was wrong.

He knew Sasuke felt it too, so they both scanned over the tables, ready to go into motion if something was wrong.

Sasuke watched as one of the Slytherins walked over to the teachers table- okay, nothing wrong there, probably talking about a potion's assignment with Snape...

The boy finished talking with the potions master then made his way to the door. Even though the fastest route to get to the double doors was in the aisle between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw table, Sasuke had taken into account that most of the Slytherins would refuse to walk there, they would rather go back to their own table and go that way, 'Snobs' would come into anyone's head if they saw the display.

But this one Slytherin boy- he confidently walked through the middle aisle-way, very close to the Gryffindor table, he also noticed.

Naruto was watching the same thing, tensing his legs.

Even though they had at least some clue it was coming- the rest of the Great hall quieted is shock when a battle cry rang out through the room.

Harry Potter was wondering out loud to Ron about who would be Gryffindor's Quidditch captain when he heard a scream from behind him.

His eyes widened when a knife-wielding Slytherin was about pounce on him.

In Harry's eyes, it seemed to go in slow motion, as well as himself, no one seemed to move. The Slytherin boy was only about a foot away. He absently noticed the Ravenclaw table shake as if some one had just jumped on it. Odd- he also thought he saw a black blur...

Then time seemed to restart. A blur blocked Harry's vision, then he was shocked at the scene in front of him.

The Slytherin was frozen in shock, the knife in his hand was raised above his shoulder- he must have been about to bring the weapon down onto Harry- but his wrist was caught by the guard in front of him, with his back to Harry, but he could tell it was the black haired guard.

Behind the boy was the blonde guard, one hand was on the Slytherin's shoulder, but the other hand held a strange knife type thing. (2) The knife was right on the wizard's throat.

There was silence in the great shock. Most were shocked that the Slytherin was about to pounce on Harry, but others were shocked to see how fast the guards moved. They just seemed to appear, but this time, the students could tell the guards had run that fast.

Fox broke the silence, "There's a strong concentration of cha- magic on this boy's right arm..." he said out loud enough for everyone in the Hall to hear.

The black haired guard nodded at his companion then pulled down the boy's sleeve- revealing a large black tattoo.

Gasps and murmurs broke out amongst the crowd.

Then someone burst out from the Ravenclaw table, "HEY! Someone stepped on my mashed potatoes!"

Naruto looked down at his boot, then looked over the Slytherin's shoulder to Sasuke and shrugged sheepishly, "Well I had to jump on the table to get here- I guess I had a bad landing..."

"Students, please go back to your dormitories..." Dumbledore calmly said. Many of the students immediately obeyed but many were still too shocked to move.

"Come on, mate..." Ron said, pulling Harry into standing.

"Actually, Mr. Weasley, I'd like Harry to stay here..." Dumbledore said, Ron shrugged and gave his friend a worried glance before going off with Mione.

The headmaster waited until every last student was gone- excluding Harry and the Slytherin- to begin.

The Slytherin boy struggled against the guards hold until the black haired one reached down and pressed a spot on the boy's shoulder, near his neck. The Slytherin instantly stopped moving and slumped back into the blonde's arms.

"He was getting on my nerves..." the raven masked guard said simply.

Fox laid the boy onto one of the benches then turned back to the teachers.

"Why do you think Voldemort would send such an unskilled death eater to kill me..." Harry asked bluntly, he didn't want to beat around the bush for this subject.

There was silence once again in the room.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I think," he started, "that Voldemort deliberately sent one of his weaker followers to test out our... security..." all the eyes returned to the guards.

"Why?" Naruto asked, cocking his head to a side.

"He probably wants to know how skilled you two are... so he knows how prepared to be if he attacks..." some of the teachers nodded at that statement.

"So what do we do with him?" The raven masked guard asked, gesturing to the unconscious Slytherin.

"We'll have to question him when he wakes up. Hagrid, can you carry him to my office, please?"

The half giant nodded, picking up the boy and starting to the doors, the headmaster turned to the guards, "Please go do your rounds in the halls. Make sure no students are rooming in the hallways."

With a short bow, the two guards disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Maybe you should thank them later, Harry..." Dumbledore said, a knowing twinkle in his eye.

The Boy who lived wandered the hallways, invisibility cloak under his arm and a strange, old piece of parchment in front of him.

He paused, looking down at the parchment, which happened to be a special magical map by the name of the Marauders Map.

He paused, looking at an unfamiliar name, which was... right in front of him?

"Lookin for me again?" asked a cheery voice, "I'm flattered..."

Harry looked up, surprised to see Fox, standing about 7 feet from him, hand on his hip.

"Actually, I was..." he glanced down at the map, "...Naruto Uzumaki..."

The guard was actually surprised. He glanced down at Harry's map.

Harry couldn't keep up with Fox's, or Naruto's, speed, he didn't seem to move an inch, but now he was holding Harry's map, looking it over...

"Oh... well isn't this a mischievously little trick, Harry Potter..." Naruto commented, "Hey, kid, where can I get one of these?"

Harry frowned, "how come you keep called me 'kid'. We've, me and my friends, I mean, well we're noticed that by your voice, you can't be much older then us..."

Naruto sighed, walking up to Harry and giving him back the map, "And how old did you say you were?"

"Sixteen..." Harry stated.

Naruto laughed, "Okay, fine maybe I shouldn't be calling you kid..." Harry silently urged Naruto o g on, "I'll be turning sixteen in October..."

Harry's mouth dropped, "You're fifteen! How did you get this job if you're fifteen? Shouldn't you be in school? Don't you have a family? Or Parents that you should be living with instead of protecting a school from the most powerful wizard in the world?"

Naruto shrugged, "You'll have to figure out all those questions by yourself. Or maybe ask that one friend of yours, she seems smart. Well... happy hunting!" he said happily, then gave the boy a wave and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Harry looked down at his map. There was no sign of 'Naruto Uzumaki' anywhere near that part of the building.

"Well tonight was... informative..." he commented out loud, then told himself he was going to keep this little encounter a secret from Ron and Hermione...

A/N: I would have updated sooner, but I was kind of distracted but... no, not my prject... -mutters- neopets... The new plot's really interesting and I totally got sucked it.
