A New World


"Hagrid." The gargantuan person said through his tangled beard. Sarutobi raised an eyebrow.

"Hagrid?" He questioned making sure he heard right. Hagrid nodded.

"Yup Rubeus Hagrid, Grounds Keeper at Hogwarts." Sarutobi sighed, leave it to Dumbledore to go for the theatrics.

"Is this them?" Hagrid asked gesturing to the three still high tense genin.

"Yes, that is Uzumaki Naruto, Doragon Eragon, and Potter Harry." Sarutobi replied pointing to each on in turn as he said their names. Hagrid gave the first two a once over, but when his eyes fell on Harry they transformed into something that was very foreign to him. It looked like admiration and slight obsession. And it was very disturbing. Then he noticed that the giant called Hagrid was looking at his lightning shaped scar on his forehead.

Hagrid seemed to be lost in his own world. He slowly started to raise one of his massive hands. Noticing things were going a little on the weird side, Sarutobi coughed. Hagrid quickly shook himself out of his stupor. While every one was distracted Harry quickly untied his headband from his arm and placed it on his forehead to cover his scar.

"Sorry 'bout that." Hagrid said sheepishly, unable to meet any ones gaze.

"How soon until you leave?" Sarutobi asked trying to break the awkwardness. Hagrid responded by pulling out a very strange watch with to many hands and planets instead of numbers. His eyes widened in surprise. Apparently it was soon.

"We got a minute," He said while holding out an old tattered book that none of them noticed before. "You three get over here and touch the book, just a finger will do." They hesitantly moved towards to book. Naruto being the first to make a move toward the book with Harry coming in last. Hagrid kept his eyes on the watch, bent over so the three genin could touch the book.

"Forty seconds," He boomed. Sarutobi winced by the loudness in his voice. He was extremely thankful that the ANBU guards actually listened to him this time when he said for them to not barge in if they hear or sense anything out of the ordinary. Usually they completely ignored his orders with something like this. Their training in protecting their Hokage overruling their sense of obedience. He thanked his lucky stars because he sure as hell didn't want to explain to the Black Ops or Hagrid what was happening.

"Thirty seconds," 'Hehehe yes finally I get to go on a super awesome mission, I would like to see that Sasuke-teme pull this off!' Naruto thought his face broken in a huge smile. For the entire month he has been hard pressed to contain his excitement for the mission. Sure it was only a training mission. But he was going to be trained to use magic! He couldn't friggin wait! He could already see all the awesome things he could do!

"Twenty seconds,"

'This is it, finally we get to see what another world looks like.' Eragon thought. He was reasonably less excited than Naruto. Of course that is understandable considering Naruto is the crazy little monkey on crack type of person. But what Eragon really cared about was seeing Seigyokua again. Over the past few months they were more closely bonded then he was with any one else, excluding of course Naruto and Harry. They were all on level with the strength of their bonds. Of course he couldn't really share his feelingswith Naruto and Harry as well as he could with Seigyokua, seeing as they were bonded more closely then an Inuzuka was with their dogs. But Dumbledore said something to him when he took Seigyokua to Hogwarts, he couldn't remember what it was but it was nagging him in the back of his mind.

"Ten seconds, nine, eight, seven…"

'So I get to see my world.' Harry thought. Harry wasn't exactly sure if he was excited or nervous to leave the only place he knew as home, the two emotions mixed together creating nausea. Hagrid's booming voice woke them from their thoughts. "Three, two," 'This is it.' The three thought simultaneously "One."

It happened immediately: Harry felt as though a hook just behind his navel had been suddenly jerked irresistibly forward. His feet left the ground; he could feel Eragon and Naruto on either side of him, their shoulders banging into his; they were all speeding forward in a howl of wind and swirling color; his forefinger was stuck to the book as though it was pulling him magnetically onward.

His feet suddenly slammed into the ground, if it weren't for his training he probably would have landed flat on his face, but luckily he was able to stay standing. Eragon and Naruto were also on their feet, albeit barely, the ride must have really worn them out. Harry felt the sudden aftershock of the ride hit him as well. His blood rushed to his brain making him dizzy. His vision clouded slightly. He felt like he was about to faint.

"You lot all right?" He heard Hagrid say. Harry shook his head clearing out the cobwebs.

"Yeah we're all right." Harry replied, his head clearing up. When he found his bearings he examined where they were. The room was dark and not extravagantly lit, there was a bar, a man, whom Harry assumed was the bartender, was standing behind the bar "washing" a glass with an overly used rag his back was to them. Other then the bartender the four of them were the only ones in the room. Harry looked out the window to see a night sky looking back at him. 'It must be the time differences.' He thought.

"Hey Tom," Hagrid greeted, the bartender jumped in surprise. Apparently he didn't hear their sudden entrance.

"Hey Hagrid, what brings you in this early?" He said eying the strangely dressed people accompanying the giant. Even in the wizarding world a bright orange jumpsuit was slightly out of the ordinary. Naruto though was the only one that hadn't changed in sense of style. Harry and Eragon however were obligated to change into more shinobi like attire when their sensei's advised them on the advantages of weighted clothing and the likes.

Eragon was sporting the standard shinobi body chain mail. Black bandages covered the entire mass of his arm under the chain mail, the bandages could only be seen from the elbow up where the armor cut off. Gloves with metal plates covered his hands. Armor similar to that of what the ANBU wore, only it was a very dark blue, covered his torso as his shirt. He had his new training partner, Tenten, ask her father to make it for him after he found out that he was the genin on team eight that was going to receive the sword training Hayate talked about during the second Genin exam, and man did Hayate-sensei know his swords. Eragon still couldn't believe some of the stuff that half dead Jonin actually knows about sword fighting. It was surreal!

On his back were two different swords, one a sturdy Katana with the same fire seals as was on his shuriken, and a Wakizashi with the seals for wind etched along the blade. He wore dark blue loose fitting pants that went down to his ankles. The ends were tied off with white bandages closing off any openings that went up his legs. A kunai canister was strapped to his left lower leg and a shuriken canister to right his upper leg. Another set of black bandages covered his legs from his knees down, but was covered up down to his ankles by the chain mail. He had the usual shinobi footwear. His headband was strapped around his forehead, choosing to express his pride in the Konoha village in this new world.

Harry donned the same type of upper armor as Eragon wore but was a forest green instead of blue. He wore a solid black long sleeved shirt under the armor. Dark green cargo shorts that cut off at his knees covered his legs. A kunai canister was tied around his left and right thighs. His signature black circular rimmed glasses were still placed on his face. He usually wore his headband on his arm, but after seeing Hagrids reaction to his scar he decided to hide it. After all how would everyone else in this world react to him if they saw the lightning bolt on his head?

Naruto wore the same orange jumpsuit he always wore. But after some talking with Eragon, Harry and his fellow teammate, Ino, they managed to convince him to at least wear some armor under that orange monster that he called clothes. Harry and Eragon because they were worried about Naruto's safety, Ino only cared because she had the secret hope that a stray Katon jutsu would burn that horrid jumpsuit to a crisp. His hair was grown out just enough to cover the back of his neck; Ino refused to have a teammate with bad hair taste, especially when the orange jumpsuit was bad enough. Despite the length it was still spiked in its unusual fashion, the bangs were kept out of his hair by his headband.

All three of the Genin adopted the usage of weights to help them raise their own strength and speed although they were all wore a different amount of weight. Harry had forty pounds strapped to each ankle and twenty pounds wrapped around each wrist. Eragon was thirty pounds for his hands and about sixty for his legs.

Naruto however seemed to adapt to the weight at a must faster pace then his brothers, he had one hundred and fifty pounds for his legs, and about ninety pounds for his arms and well on his way to move on to the next set.

Now the reason why Naruto adjusted to the heavy weights so easily and quickly was because of the advanced passive healing his bloodline limit gave him. After he read more about it in his father's journal he couldn't wait to activate it, but the situation never came up to where he was angry enough to use it. After many failed attempts at trying to activate the limit he had Harry read the parts of the journal that talked about when his father used the limit and his theories about it.

After hours of reading, rereading, thinking, and conversations with Seigyokua, Harry figured that Naruto had to be so mad at someone or something that he would hate them with an undying passion of hell. That all anger and hate he could possibly feel would be directed at the object he was mad at. Complete and utter hate had to be felt for Naruto to activate his limit.

Harry extended his research and found out that if Naruto should activate his limit that it was true he would maintain control and realize exactly what was going on around him as his father said, but all his focus would be on the object of his hate, causing him to act like he was out of control but in reality his only intention would be to kill the object that caused his limit to activate.

Naruto of course didn't understand how this would be a problem so Harry went on to explain that with all his focus on one target it would create tunnel vision, making him an easy target. But with his super healing abilities while in his angry state the attack probably wouldn't affect him any way. Hell from what Harry got from the Yondaime's journal that Naruto could probably take a kunai to the head and live to tell about it.

"Oh nothing much, Dumbledore has me on some Hogwarts business." Hagrid replied a little to casually.

"Muggle born are they?" Tom asked with a raised eyebrow examining the three preteens, he was still wiping down the glass with the overly used rag.

"Yup!" Hagrid said smiling. He chuckled nervously.

"Well welcome to the Wizarding world you three. I'm Tom I own the Leaky Caldron." He put down the rag and leaned over the bar with his hand extended. The trio looked at it with confusion. What the heck did this guy want? Tom started to look a little confused. "Well what are you waiting for? Shake it." And what the heck was he saying? The three of them didn't understand anything that the guy said; the only person they understood right now was Hagrid.

"What the heck do you want us to do with that?" Naruto asked rather abruptly.

"What'd you say?" Tom asked his face contorted in a mix of surprise, confusion and insult. Just then Hagrid hit his forehead with his massive hand, a force that would probably kill a regular man.

"How could I forget?!" Hagrid said. He reached into his massive overcoat and pulled out three identical Konoha headbands. "I forgot about that you three don't speak English," He said while he handed them the new headbands. "There you go. Now just take your old ones off an' put these ones on, Dumbledore enchanted them himself." Harry and Eragon did so immediately, but Naruto just held at eye level and examined it.

"What's it suppose to do?" He asked curiously.

"Well, they let you understand and speak English and Dumbledore also said that you can speak Japanese while wearing 'em." Hagrid said "Dumbledore said that they will already make you speak English without you really having to think, but he said that you had to think a little to make yourselves speak Japanese or summit like that."

"The how come you can speak Japanese without one of these?" Harry asked Hagrid the enchanted headband tied to his forehead and his old one in his supply pouch.

"Dumbledore had me some muggle candy he made, lemon drops or summit like that. It was enchanted to let me speak Japanese."

"What's the difference between the candy and the headbands?" Eragon asked copying Harry.

"I don' really know," Hagrid said his face scrunched up in thought. "Dumbledore said summit about how the candy only las' as long as it's in your body, and that the bands are always working as long as the magic doesn' wear off."

"Huh?" Naruto said. An expression of confusion covered his face. He still hadn't traded off his headband yet.

"It's really actually very simple Naruto," Harry said "The candy works as a temporary supplement, while the head bands are permanent." Naruto's just shook his head. Harry let out a small sigh. Sometimes it was a little aggravating being the smart one of the group. "The candy will let Hagrid speak Japanese until the next time he goes to the bathroom. The headbands will let us speak both Japanese and English whenever we want." Naruto made an O sound before he looked back at the headband still in his hand. His hands hesitated as he untied his current headband Iruka-sensei gave him. He took a small breath and finished taking it off and replaced it with the enchanted headband. He stared at his old headband in his hand. He was about to put it in his pouch when his face lit up with and idea. He quickly tied his old headband to his left thigh, the leaf symbol facing outward to Naruto's left. He straightened his back and smoothed out his shirt.

"There that's good." He looked up to find Harry, Eragon, and Hagrid staring at him. "What?" The three turned back around.

"So any way Tom I need two rooms please." Hagrid said giving his attention back to the inn owner. Tom however wasn't paying any attention to the giant. His face was something Hagrid never witnessed an expression like this on the mans face before. It was like he just walked through a ghost and didn't know what happened.

"Tom, Tom hello? Are you okay? Tom!" Hagrid waved his massive hand in front of his face trying to break his trance but it had no effect.

"My god," Tom muttered barely over a whisper.

"What?" Hagrid asked slightly concerned, he leaned his head closer to Toms.

"I thought he was dead, all these years every one thought he was dead. The rumors, I never believed them. And the scar." Hagrid grabbed Tom by the collar as soon as he heard the word scar leave his mouth.

"Tom look at me! You can't tell anyone! You hear me? Anyone!" Hagrid shook Tom violently, the trio were afraid that Hagrid would kill the man. "Tom do you understand me? Tom!" His voice was filled with worry and concern. Tom ignored him, instead he grabbed the collar of Hagrids coat.

"Hagrid please tell me he is real please! Tell me I'm not just seeing this!" The look of pleading desperation made the trio feel unnerved. Hagrid felt a slight pang of guilt mixed with pity.

"I'm sorry Tom I can' say, Dumbledore made me swear." Hagrid said, his voice dripped with an apologetic tone. He let got of Tom. His massive arms hung limply at his side.

Tom's face contorted into the hopeful certainty of a madman. "Well it has to be him right? It has to! I saw the scar when he switched that headband thing!" He looked as if he was fighting an internal warfare with himself. "Yeah the scar that's it." He let go of Hagrid and crawled over the bar, collapsing to the floor when he was over. This didn't hinder him though as he immediately got up and went straight for Harry.

Eragon and Naruto reacted immediately, grabbing the half crazed man by the arms stopping him right before he reached Harry. The middle aged man struggled furiously to get out the two preteens grasp, but their shinobi training easily allowed them to hold on to Tom.

"Guys it's okay let him go." Harry said. The two blondes looked at him. Naruto shrugged and let go, if Eragon and him could hold to this man that easily then Harry would have no trouble with him. Eragon stared at his brother questionably before simply letting go. Tom just ignored what just happened and stumbled the rest of the way to Harry. He stopped on both his knees in front of the black haired shinobi.

"You are the boy who died right? Please tell me you are him the one who stopped you-know-who." Harry looked at the man with sympathy.

"I don't know who this boy who died is I am sorry." He said staring straight into Tom's desperate eyes. The innkeeper looked crestfallen for a second before straightening himself out and moving in closer to Harry's face.

"But you have a scar on your forehead, I saw it! It was definitely the scar the you-know-who was rumored to mark the boy who died before he died." Harry continued to stare at the pathetic man before him. He sighed and hung his head, making it easier to reach where the headband was tied to his head. He shifted his left foot slightly, pointing it towards Eragon. Naruto noticed this too but made no comment, Eragon understood immediately and formed some hand seals behind his back.

Harry slowly untied the headband and let it fall limply in his hand, his shaggy hair prevented any one to see his forehead. Hagrid still stood by the bar sweating bullets. What was Dumbledore going to say when the news Harry was actually alive got around? He could easily stop Tom but that could end up seriously hurting him. Hagrid had no idea what to do, he would just have to convince Tom not to tell anyone.

Harry slowly lifted his head, moving his hair back with his hand in the process. Tom face fell dramatically, his hopes that the boy who died to save this world was alive had been crushed. On Harry's forehead wasn't a lighting bold shaped scar like what everyone said, but a thin crescent shaped one that looked to have been formed by the end of a pipe was hit against his head.

Tom stood up with a hung head. "I'm sorry I thought you were someone else." He walked back over behind the bar. He picked up the glass he was previously wiping and continued to wipe it down. His face was contorted in embarrassment and shame.

"Any way Tom I need two rooms please." Hagrid said trying to break the tension. Tom silently bent down and grabbed two keys.

"Here," He said morosely, not making any eye contact with any of them. "No charge for the trouble I caused." Hagrid picked up the keys and went towards the stairs. The trio followed the giant up the stairs.

It didn't take them long to find the rooms they were given. The first room had a couch and two individual beds.

"Well," Hagrid said clapping his massive hands together. "You lot stay in this room I'll take the other goodnight." He moved surprisingly fast for someone of his size towards the door. But Naruto beat him to the punch. He stood with both arms out blocking Hagrids path.

"Not so fast big guy, we wanna know what the hell that was down there." Naruto said.

"Yeah why did that guy suddenly get all crazy?" Eragon quizzed. Hagrid sighed in defeat. He turned to face Harry who looked back with a passive expression.

"Sit down and I'll explain." Hagrid said.

"We will stand." Harry said. Hagrid sighed in defeat.

"Well you know about how you defeated You-Know-Who righ'?" Hagrid asked.

"It depends," Harry said. "Is this You-Know-Who Voldemort?" Hagrid flinched when Harry said the name, but nodded any way.

"Yeah well that night when you was just a year old he came to kill you." Harry nodded

"Yes I know about this part, his spell backfired and got him instead." The jet black haired boy said with an off hand tone.

"Yeah well when You-Know-Who disappeared like that every one was so happy." Hagrid smiled at past memories. His expression quickly changed to a somber one."But that didn't las' long." Hagrid sat down on one of the beds, it groaned in complaint.

"You see, the wizarding world was happy and all but when word got aroun' that the little baby who got rid of You-Know-Who couldn't be found every one though' you were dead. You can' imagine how tha' effected everybody. You were jus' a baby then an' everything, the thought that a poor innocen' baby died protecting the world really got to everybody. Everyone thought it was unfair that you died by that murderer's hand when you was just a baby. The one person who became the savior of our world and died the same night." Hagrid looked depressed, lost in some old memory.

"No one is sure where is started but everyone started calling you the boy who died." Hagrid gave a short humorless laugh. "And of course people didn't want to believe you were actually dead so rumors started to go around you were alive. No one really believed them but they still used that as hope." Hagrid gave a halfhearted smile, a feeble attempt to lift the mood. "I even thought you were dead. But when Dumbledore told me what he did sending you away like tha' I was shocked. The boy who died was alive the whole time. That was abou' a month ago, and I'm still haven't fully recovered from the shock."

'A month?' Harry thought. How was he supposed to show his face around here if people wouldn't get over the fact that he was alive? How much has Dumbledore actually thought this through? How did he expect Harry to learn what he had to learn if people would continuously ogle over him?

The three shinobi exchanged glances. They were all thinking the same thing.

This place was going to be a pain in the ass.


Author's Note:

Haha, hey guys nervous chuckle right. Sorry about not posting for pretty much in forever, there were a lot of technical stuff that happened and such. It took me a while to get this chapter down, I planned on it to be longer but, infact I wanted to get it through all to the beginning of the Hogwarts Express. But I thought you all waited long enough.

Any way, many of you have noticed my new fic that i posted a little while ago, Yondaime Revan, I do plan on continuing that do not worry. SDW and YR are going to be my main fics that I will concentrate on. When I will actually update either of them, I have no idea. I will update ASAP though do not worry.

So some things you might be wondering about things in this chapter. First off reaction to Harry, just imagine if Sherly Temple died in the pinnacle of her career as a child. Or imagine just some other instance where a very well known and loved person just died out of the blue, and how people felt about it.

NEXT CHAPTER: Hogwarts here we come!

Harry, Naruto, and Eragon are officially introduced into the strange magic of the wizarding world. They each receive their wands, each with its own unique quality to it. Any way the basis of the next chapter, the trio go shopping in Diagon Alley and such, and at the end of the chapter will be on the Hogwarts Express, how long they will be on there, who knows. Yes I know I suck at summaries.

Any way I hope this placates yall long enough for me to live to see my next birthday.
