Sakura, Harry and Ron started to approach Slughorns office where the Slug Club party would be held. The sound of laughter, music and loud conversations where growing louder with every step they took. Whether it was built that way, or because he had used magic trickery to make it so, Slughorns office was much larger than the usual teacher's study. The ceiling and walls had been draped with silver and gold hangings. The room was crowded and Sakura could see how little elf-like things where making their way around the room with large silver plates with mountains of food on.

"Harry, Sakura!" They could hear how Slughorn shouted as fast as they squeezed their way in the room. "Come in! There are tons of people you must meet."

Slughorn dragged Harry away to a bunch of people and Ron was already busy eating. Well, this seemed surprisingly easy… Now to find Itachi so that he can point out the most important people here. Sakura made her way trough the office, there where so many people around that it seemed almost impossible for her to find anyone. There she saw him; carefully she walked towards him so that no one could notice. She stood beside him and acted as is she almost didn't even see him.

"Have you found out anything?" Sakura asked and neither of them looked at each other, made any kind of expression or any kind of movement.

"Not yet, a lot of people have come and introduced themselves and stayed to talk but no one special." Itachi answered. "What about you?"

"No, I just got here. But can you find any people that you looked up before?" Sakura asked.

"I haven't found them jet; there are too many people around."

"Wait a moment… Hey, I'll be right back." Sakura said and dashed into the crowd. Itachi stood there dumbfounded. Then a new group came back and started talking to him and introduced themselves.

Sakura made her was towards a small group where standing. Harry, professor Slughorn, and some other teachers also the caretaker Mr. Filch was looking quite angry as he was holding a boy with blond hair from escaping. The boy, of course Sakura knew, it was Draco Malfoy from Slytherin. She always saw him arguing with Harry and Ron; she never really talked to him but gave him a bother-them-again-and-I'll-really-kill-you glare once. Since then whenever she was around he disappeared, it was just like magic. Harry and Ron never really understood why and Sakura thought that it would be best if this was only between her and the Malfoy kid.

"That's all right, Argus, that's all right." Sakura could hear Slughorn say to the caretaker as she came closer to them. "It's a special party, and it's not a crime to want to go to one of my own Slug Clubs parties. Just this once, we'll forget any punishment; you may stay, Draco."

Filch's expression of outraged disappointment was perfectly predictable; but why, Sakura wondered, watching him, did Malfoy look almost equally unhappy? Sakura noticed as she took place in the little conversation circle. There was a man there who had an expression than Sakura clearly would put a note to in her head. The man was hooked-nosed, black eyes, uneven yellow teeth and greasy shoulder-length black hair. The man was looking at Malfoy as though both angry and was it even possible… a little afraid?

As Filch turned around and walked away while muttering under his breath, Harry noticed Sakura, or more like Slughorn noticed her.

"Sakura! I'm so glad you could make it! Here, I have to introduce you to the former potions master Severus Snape. I was just talking about how wonderful Harry was at potions and Sakura is probably the only one in my class that could make a better potion then me myself. It's a pity that you couldn't teach them this year Severus, it is such a pleasure." Slughorn said but the man named Snape didn't seem to listen to what he was saying.

"I'd like a word with you, Draco." Snape said suddenly.

"Oh, now Severus. It's a party, don't be so mad." Slughorn started.

"I'm his head of House, and I shall decide how hard, or otherwise, to be." Said Severus curtly "follow me Draco."

Snape and Draco walked away from the group and disappeared from sight in the crowd of people that where peacefully mingling. Harry stood there for a moment in thoughts then said to Sakura and the others. "I'll be back in a bit, Sakura… err - bathroom."

"Sure." Sakura said with a happy tone in her voice as Harry hurried off into the crown just like Snape and Draco. Sakura knew what he was going to do, and this could become interesting.

"So Sakura, how was it that you are so good in potions, who was your teacher when you went in your other school…?" Slughorn asked just to notice that she no longer stood there beside him. "She must have been kidnapped by a hippogriff, where the hell did she run off to now?"

However, Sakura was right behind Harry as he was searching after Draco and Snape. It was a little tricky when he had his invincibility cloak on but she knew where he was by feeling his presence. The corridor was quite deserted as Sakura took the risk to crawl on the ceiling if Harry where to turn around. Harry pressed his ear against door after door as he dashed down the corridor with what seemed from Sakuras point of view, a great jolt of excitement. As he came to the last classroom of the corridor he seemed to stop. It was there they where they where! Harry took his invincibility cloak off his head to be able to hear better.

After some time Sakura jumped down to the stone floor without a sound and quietly ran to where Harry was standing pressing his ear against the keyhole. She stood beside him and pressed her also pressed her ear against the door. Harry could have jumped up three meters and he opened his mouth to say something but Sakura quickly held up her hand as a way to tell him to keep quiet. But Sakura could hardly hear two sentences as they could hear someone's footsteps on the other side of the door. Harry quickly grabbed Sakura and put the cloak over both of them and they crouched down before the footsteps came too close. The door flung open and Malfoy walked down the corridor, past the open door to Slughorn's office, round the distant corner and out of sight.

Hardly daring to breath, Harry and Sakura remained crouched down as Snape emerged slowly from the classroom. His expression unfathomable, he returned to the party.

Harry and Sakura remained on the floor, hidden beneath the cloak; Sakura could see how Harry's mind was racing. He looked at Sakura; she seemed completely calm much to his surprise. "What are you doing here?!" He asked almost in a whisper.

"I wanted to find out why you where following Malfoy and Snape. I found it a lot more interesting than listening to some old men and their life's when they where a student at Hogwarts." Sakura answered and stood up. Harry took off the cloak and looked up at her as she checked their surroundings, there was no one around.

"That was dangerous, what if you where caught?!"

"I wouldn't have been caught, I never get caught." Sakura told him in a smile.

"But if I wasn't there with my invincibility cloak then you surely would have been caught!" Harry said, almost shouted at her. He couldn't understand that she of all people would do something that stupid and reckless.

"But you where there right? I knew that you would help me." Sakura answered and Harry blushed. "Lets go back to the party before Snape starts to suspect something. Then we would be in real trouble."

"Sakura. There you are, I was looking for you. Why aren't you in the party?" Sakura and Harry could hear a voice say and they turned around only to find Itachi standing there.

"Itachi…" Sakura said and Harry frowned. ´so she calls him by his first name huh? ´ Harry thought.

Itachi smiled at them and Harry stood up. "We needed some fresh air; there are so many people in the party." Sakura answered her fiancée with the usual smile. As Harry's and Itachi's eyes met, Itachi smiled but Harry didn't hide his irritated expression from him. "We where just about to go back to the party."

"No, I think I'll just go back to the common room. I have to study." Harry said.

"Okay, I think I'll go back to the party for a while longer. See you back in the common room." Sakura said and Harry walked away with his invincibility cloak in his pocket. He was kind of waiting for her to say that she'd go with him. He could hear Itachi talking to each other as they walked back to Slughorn's party; she seemed so different when talking to him, so happy.

As the party continued, Sakura and Itachi talked to a lot of different people. However, no one seemed to be interested in talking about the topics they wanted them too, no matter how much wine they got.

"Sakura! There you are, I've been trying to find you since you disappeared." Sakura sighed as she heard who was calling for her once again, professor Slughorn. "Where did you go? No that can wait, here you have to meet these people here." Professor Slughorn said and directed her to another group of people. He mentioned all the peoples names but Sakura quickly noticed that non of them where any of the people Itachi had told her to look after.

"Sakura here is one of my absolute best students here at Hogwarts and she works very well with another of my best students, Harry Potter." Slughorn said and smiled a victorious smile as he clapped her on the shoulder.

"Harry Potter you say?" One of the men said and they quickly became interested in the little pink haired girl.

"Yes, one could almost guess that they where going out. Of course every one actually thought it before we found out that she actually already is engaged." Sakura gazed up at professor Slughorn Is he going to tell them my whole life story or what? God I hate this man…

"Engaged? But she's so young!" A woman said and it was then Sakura noticed that more people had come into the conversation.

"But she and her fiancée is from Japan and there a woman can get married at the age of 16! Amazing isn't it." Slughorn continued and Sakura noticed how Itachi came into the conversation and was just about to go when he noticed that no one there was interesting. "And there you are, Itachi! We where just talking about you!"

Itachi stopped and looked over at professor Slughorn. "Me? What's so interesting about me that everyone here seems so keen on hearing?" Itachi said and smiled.

"We where just talking about your engagement to young Sakura here." Everyone started whispering over what professor just had said. "You're writing a book, aren't you?"

"Why, yes I am. It's about the dark arts, I have found them very terrifying ever since I was just a little child and it was then I decided that I wanted to write a book about it. I sound quite strange but it was the way I thought when I was little and I just couldn't get rid of the idea." Itachi said and every witch melted by his soft yet manly tone of his voice. "Sakura…"

"Yes?" Sakura answered as she noticed that he was suddenly talking to her.

"Come with me." He said and walked away with Sakura almost running after in order to be able to keep up. They stopped in a corner where no one could see or hear them and loud music was surrounding. "Have you got any information at all?"

"No, nothing. The plan had failed completely." Sakura answered.

"I'm sorry to say that it has. There is no use in staying here any longer, you can go back up to the common room now."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to my office and check some things in my books." Itachi said with a bored tune in his voice.

"Okay, you and your books are so boring. Oh well, see you tomorrow then."

"Good night my dear little cherry blossom." Itachi said as she was about to leave. "Next time, I hope we have time to at least have one dance together."

Sakura looked back at him and smiled, then stuck out her tongue at him. Then she rushed away into the crowd to get out of the abnormal big office. As she came out of the office, she silently made it up to the common room. She really thought that Itachi would kiss her that night at least once, but he seemed to have a brain after all.

A/N: Here is the next chapter of my Harry Naruto X-over! I am really sorry for the confusion but it's like this: I had a high fever and I was about to delete a story, it was then I kind of accidentally happened to delete this one instead of the one I has going to delete. Heheheh But I put it up again as soon as I noticed this. The biggest problem is that all your story alerts on this story are gone now so I'm really sorry about this for all you who wanted to know how it would continue… At first I was a little displeased about the fact that all your reviews where gone, but then I noticed that it isn't the number that counts, I have all your reviews on my email but there was some reviews that I could answer on because of this.

I also go a review saying something about that I should get in Draco in the story. I knew that I would put him in this chapter and all but then I noticed it! He hasn't had a role in this story before now! I was surprised about this fact because he is indeed my favourite Harry Potter character. Oh well he's here now at least. And Ron kind of disappeared in this chapter hahah sorry all Ron fans.

Ps: keep note of some things that happened in this chapter, it wasn't all for nothing ;)

Please leave a review

Love from Neko-chan
