AN: Sup, fans and followers of my story. Just wanted to point out AGAIN that most people will be OOC, but just enough to make the story humorous. Hopefully I kept them somewhat recognizable, though.

Harry's also going to seem a little more shy and hesitant in this chapter. I'm doing this because, well, that's what I want him to be like AT FIRST. In no way will he stay like this.

To the Reviewers:

Raimon: Not sure if there will be a pairing yet, but if there is, it won't be till later on, and the story won't revolve around it. I'm up for any suggestions that you, or anyone else, has on pairings, and I'm okay with preventing deaths (Fred, Severus, Remus) and breaking up couples to make pairings happen. Hope that made some sense :/

I, Silent Kage, do not own Naruto or Harry Potter. Obviously.

Now, on with the story~

It's been three months since Naruko arrived at Hogwarts. In those three months, with the help of shadow clones, she had successfully learned all that she could about the Wizarding World, and had learned everything about all of the classes that Hogwarts taught through the Professors. Even though Magic couldn't do what Chakra could, Chakra could easily do what Magic could, just an overly powered version of it.

She had become friends with most of the Professors and staff, except Filch, she couldn't stand the man and his cat. Minerva became her fastest friend, especially when she offered to try and teach Naruko how to become an Animagus. The two women would often have tea out by the lake around noon under a gazebo that Naruko had made using a Wood Style Jutsu.

The oddest friendship she had though was with one Severus Snape. The moment she had saw him in the Great Hall, scowl and all, she immediately thought him to be a mixture between Sasuke and Pein. She could see in his eyes the pain and suffering he had been put through throughout his life and automatically vowed to make his life brighter, even if it killed both of them. And so began the days of Naruko annoying Severus in every moment of the day. The funniest moment, in Minerva's opinion during one of their afternoon teas, was during the Great Hall for breakfast in the beginning of July. Severus had stumbled into the hall late that morning, with black bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. He had been up the night before brewing multiple potions for Pomfrey and did not get to bed that night. So when he had finally sat down in his seat for breakfast, he had failed to notice that Naruko hadn't been in her seat, which was to the right of him. He had poured himself a cup of coffee, black, and had brought it up to his lips, unaware of the person that was slowly materializing out of the shadows behind him. Minerva, who sat to Naruko's right, watched the scene play out, as Naruko leaned down beside Severus so that her mouth was next to his ear. Pressing her lips tightly together, she drew them close before releasing them with a loud 'Pop!' noise.

Severus, who had taken a long and healthy sip of coffee, had been startled by the loud and abrupt sound, and jumped, spewing his coffee across the front of the table, and all over Filch, who had just walked past the front row. The silence was deafening for a brief moment before Hagrid, who was on the opposite end of the table, bellowed out his loud laugh. The other professors soon joined in laughing while Filch stormed out of the Great Hall, leaving a trail of scalding hot coffee in his wake. Severus had sent her a murderous glare over his shoulder at her, while Naruko merely smiled, patted his head, and sat down beside him.

This, of course, had started a Prank War between the two of them… well, Naruko said it was a prank war, but Severus had called it revenge. It was put to an end by Albus when things started to get out of hand; i.e. Naruko threw a paint bomb into Severus' sleeping quarters one night and Naruko woke up floating on her bed in the middle of the Black Lake.

She still liked to pester him, but not to the extreme like she had when she first arrived. He also didn't seem to ignore her as much as he did with the other professors, which was a bonus in her mind.

Now, with only a few days until the new school year started, Naruko could be seen wandering the streets of Diagon Alley, buying her last minute school supplies as well as a few packages for Minerva, who couldn't make it down from the castle.

Walking into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, she paused at the entrance when she saw a large amount of redheads in the store.

'Good lord, I fit right in with this family! Red Head Domination! Whoop!'

Smiling at her inner dialogue, Naruko made her way to the front of the store, where a cashier stood behind the counter.

"Can I help you, ma'am?"

"Yes, I'm a Professor at Hogwarts. I'm here to pick of a delivery for Minerva McGonagall."

"Oh! Of course, let me retrieve it from the back!"

The man scurried off through a doorway that led to the back. Naruko sighed and turned around before leaning back against the counter.

"You're a Professor at Hogwarts?"

She looked to her left, only to see a lanky looking red headed boy standing there with a used DADA book in his hand.

'I think he's a First Year…'

Naruko nodded, "Yep. This is my first year teaching here, and it's a new class that's mandatory in the curriculum."

From the corner of her eyes, she could see a pair of red headed twins, older looking Hogwarts students, listening in on their conversation from beside a bookcase.

"What class do you teach, then? It can't be that important if they only added it this year."

'Not important?! Time to make a Firsty sweat.'

Naruko changed her expression to a surprised one, "Oh, didn't you hear? They're making it mandatory to take 'How to Wrestle a Troll' classes for all First Years. It's a dangerous class, but the success rate had improved from 4% to 18% since I've started."

The red head boy paled before scurrying off to his parents and sister. Naruko tried to keep a straight face for as long as she could, but she started giggling when she caught sight of the twins trying to hold themselves up while laughing.

"Here's the package, miss. That'll be 12 galleons."

Naruko turned back to the counter and fished out the coins she needed from her coin pouch and passed them to the man. Cradling the brown paper wrapped package to her chest, she made to leave the store, only to be intercepted by the still laughing twins.

"We just had to say that-"

"-that was bloody brilliant!"

Naruko smiled and bowed her head, "I'm glad someone else can appreciate a good joke nowadays."

"Are you really-"

"-a new Professor at Hogwarts?"

She nodded, "Of course. My name's Naruko Uzumaki. I'll be teaching the class called Physical Education. Albus said something about 'this generation being lazy', and decided to add it to the curriculum."

"Well, we're the Weasley Twins. I'm Fred-"

"-no, no, dear brother, I'm Fred."

The first twin shook his head, "No you're not. You're George."

George blinked, "Oh, I suppose I am."

Naruko could easily tell the two of them apart, though. Fred had more freckles across his nose, while George's eyes were a paler green than Fred's.

"Well, as Fred was saying, we're Third Years-"

"-and we're the Prankster Kings at Hogwarts."

Naruko smirked and patted them both on their heads as she walked past them, "Remind me later to tell you about the prank I pulled on Snape then, nee?"

She exited the shop before they could answer her, but she had an idea about what was going through their heads.

Back in the Bookshop….

Fred and George slowly turned to each other, eyes wide in shock.

"Did she say that she pranked Snape-"

"-the Bat of the Dungeons-"

"-and lived?!"

At this moment, Molly Weasley, the mother of all of the red headed children, walked up behind them.

"Just what on Earth are you two whispering about? And why are you staring at each other like that?"

Fred and George turned to their mother with stars in their eyes.

"We just met our new idol!"

Back with Naruko…

After sealing Minerva's package into a tattoo on her wrist, Naruko made her way to Gringotts, her final stop for the day. Walking up the marble staircase, she politely nodded her head to the goblin guards before making her way into the bank. Once inside, she realized how very crowded the bank seemed today, and stood off to the side, waiting for a bank window to open, when she clearly spotted Hagrid's massive form over the heads of the normal Wizards and Witches. Pushing away from the wall she was leaning on, she called out to the half-giant.

"Hagrid!"

Hagrid turned at hearing his name called, and spotted Naruko's bright crimson hair. He bent down to say something to a boy that was standing next to him before he waved her over to them.

"Ah, Naru! What a surprise! Wat' 're you doin 'ere?"

"Just picking up a few thinks from my Vault to get ready for the school year. What about you? And who's this?"

"Ah!" Hagrid pushed the dark haired boy forward, "This is 'arry Potter. Albus asked me to show the lad 'round Diagon so 'e can get 'is supplies."

Naruko smiled at the timid boy and held out her hand, which he hesitantly shook.

"Well, hello there, Mister Potter, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Naruko Uzumaki. I'm one of the Professors at Hogwarts."

Harry glanced up at her through his wire rimmed glasses, "What do you teach?"

Naruko wanted to squeal at the adorableness of the short boy, but remained composed.

"I teach Physical Education, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret."

Here, she motioned him closer with her finger, and when he shuffled closer to her, she leaned in and stage whispered to him.

"It's my first year teaching, so I'm kinda nervous."

Harry gave a small laugh, and Naruko was proud of herself for making him less timid around her.

"Hagrid, do you mind if I ride down with you all to my vault?"

Hagrid shook his head, "Not at all, Naru. Come on, le's get to the carts."

Naruko followed behind Hagrid and Harry towards the carts, and laughed at Hagrid's expression of distaste as he climbed aboard. Harry sent her a puzzled look.

"You'll see why in a minute, Mister Potter, just remember to hold on tight."

Harry didn't have to wait long before the cart took off at break neck speeds down the track. Both he and Naruko laughed as the cart twisted and turned down the track, though Hagrid wasn't as pleased as they were. Soon though, they stopped and the Goblin who was driving them called out the vault number.

"Vault number 687, Potter Trust Vault."

Harry and Hagrid climbed out, but Naruko stayed in, saying that as it was his personal vault, she had no right to go snooping in it. After a few minutes, the two came back to the cart. Harry carried an expandable coin pouch that she knew was filled with the money he would need. Soon, the cart started down the track again, but soon stopped at another vault.

"Vault number 713."

Hagrid climbed out of the cart, telling Harry to wait with Naruko, before he disappeared behind the large metal door.

"So Harry, are you excited about Hogwarts?"

He nodded his head, but had to push his glasses up his nose to keep them from falling off, "Yeah. Apparently both of my parents went here, so now I have a way to be closer to them."

Naruko knew what had happened to Harry when he was little (who wouldn't?), but thought that how he worded it was strange.

" 'Apparently?' Don't you have anything to remember your parents by? Photos? Letters?"

Harry hesitated before shaking his head, "No, Aunt Petunia said that they were no good losers. She doesn't speak about them, ever."

Both fell into silence before Naruko hesitantly spoke.

"Harry?"

Harry looked up at her, and was shocked to see emotions so similar to his running through her eyes. She seemed to be warring with herself before she finally asked the question that had been killing her inside.

"Do you even know what your parents look like?"

Solemnly, Harry hung his head and shook it no. He felt her lay a hand on his plaid covered shoulder and squeezed it in comfort.

"Somehow, Harry, I'll help you. No one deserves to go through life not knowing what your parents look like. No one will live through what I had to go through."

She whispered this, and Harry almost thought that he wasn't meant to hear it, but when he looked up at her through his shaggy black bangs, he saw her giving him a small sad smile, and he instantly knew that this was a secret between the two of them.

It was then that Hagrid showed back up carrying a burlap sack under his arm. As he got into the cart, he missed Naruko's quick 180 change in attitude.

"Alrighty then. Le's head to yur vault now, Naru!"

Once more the cart took off, farther down into the bank. Just as it seemed the ride would never end, the Goblin stopped the cart and called out the last number.

"Vault number 1032, high security, level 7 protection."

Hagrid turned his wide, disbelieving eyes towards Naruko, who was climbing out of the cart.

"How much do ya have tah pay tah keep 'his vault?"

Naruko threw a cheeky smile over her shoulder, "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it!"

Leaving them behind her, she unlocked her vault using a drop of blood and a fingerprint scan, and slipped inside the heavy, charm warded door. Piles upon piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts littered the floor, though they were separated into somewhat organized piles. There were also many different weapons and armors that littered the floor, but what she was looking for were the piles of Chakra weight papers in the back.

Lee had given her over 200 of them before she left, saying that the only way he could use them now, was if he maxed them out and used over 40 of them (the maxed weight of one is 100 pounds).

Picking up the tied bundle of papers, she turned to leave the vault, only to trip over something on the floor. She rolled around on the floor for a moment, just moaning in pain, before she sat up and grabbed the offending object that had tripped her. Wondering how the hell the book, if you could call it that, had made it into her vault, she shrugged it off to Pervy Sage being himself, and was about to chuck the offending literature farther into the depths of her vault, but something made her pause. Flipping open the blinding orange cover, she paused when she saw an inscribed note on the inside cover.

'Naruko,

Hopefully you saw this before you got rid of it. I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you, so very proud. Tsunade is as well, but I don't think she would want to write that in this book. You've proved to the world how wrong they were about you, and that you are just the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko. You're Naruko Uzumaki, Knucklehead and future Hokage of Konohagakure. Your parents would have been proud of you, and I'm sure they're looking down at you smiling. I'm sorry I couldn't have been with you sooner in your life, but I hope I'm making up for it now. Have fun on your mission, Naru, and good luck.

Your Godfather,

Jiraiya'

Naruko brushed away a tear that had fallen down her cheek while she was reading Jiraiya's note to her. Putting a low leveled Genjutsu over the cover so no one knew what it was, she picked herself and her Chakra weight papers off of the ground and left her vault with her items tucked under her arm.

When she hopped back into the vault, she smiled at Hagrid and Harry.

"Sorry I took so long. I'm ready to go now."

The Goblin turned the cart around and sped back through the tunnels. In another moment, they found themselves back on the top floor of the bank. The Goblin scurried off to who knows where, leaving Harry, Hagrid, and Naruko to exit the cart. Eventually, when they made it outside, Naruko bid the two of them a farewell, but not before quietly telling Harry that she would keep her promise to him. She watched the two of them head off down the road before leaving herself, a sharp crack of apparation following in her wake.
