As soon as Hermione left the room, Kakashi hurried over to the teacher's lounge. He was very relieved to see that Jiraiya was the only other person in the room. He was sitting back in a recliner reading The Daily Prophet.
"Anything good in it?" Kakashi asked as he fixed himself a glass of water from the water cooler.
"Naa, nothing out of the ordinary. Just a bunch of articles by Rita Skeeter trying to stir up trouble about this year's Tri-Wizard Tournament."
"Oh I see."
"So how was your first class?"
"Oh it was…interesting."
"I see. So how many students did you seduce?"
"Only one," he grinned.
"Who was it?"
"That Hermione girl."
"Ahh, nice pick. She's very pretty you know."
"Yeah but I can't be fraternizing with the students."
"True but everyone needs a little lovin'," he grinned.
"That may be but her kissing me in class was hard enough to cover up. I'll have to be more careful next time."
"Oh gee Kakashi. Live a little. It's not a crime to uh…play around a bit," he grinned.
"Yeah but it IS a crime to play with Dumbledore's students. Besides, I'm sure I can control myself. Anyway, shouldn't you be getting ready for your class?"
"Nope. I'm already prepared. I only have one class remember? Besides, I'm going to use Naruto for all my demonstrations."
"Oh geez. Does that mean I need to be there as well?"
"Probably. I don't plan on forcing the kyuubi's powers but lately it doesn't take much to get a rise out of that stupid fox. Yeah, you need to be there and while you're there, you can scope out some of the pretty young ladies for…"
"Your research right? Uh huh. We'll see."
"Well you drink your water and get back to your novel. I think I'm going to watch the show."
"What show?"
"Well, Naruto and the others have Potion's next with that greasy haired Professor Snape. He reminds me of Tsunade-sama so this should prove to be very interesting. Besides, if I know Naruto, he'll act the same way he acts around Tsunade." At this, Kakashi spit out his water.
"Damn. Alright. Let's get going."
--xx--
--POTIONS--
--xx--
"Potions? What the hell is potions? And when do we get to use the stupid wand thingies that we got from that old Oliver guy?"
"Naruto, keep it down and stop damn complaining," Sakura hissed. She was sitting at the table behind Naruto and Neji's with Ino.
"Yes, I agree with Sakura Naruto. You really must keep your voice down. I overheard a couple of characters discussing professor Snape and I can assure you that he's got a bad reputation."
"Yeah well he don't scare me," Naruto mumbled. They sat there quietly, Naruto mumbling the whole time as students started to file in. Ginny and Hermione took the seats across from Neji and Naruto. Harry, Ron and Neville sat behind Hermione, but across from Ino and Sakura.
"Hermione, if the potion's really hard today you know you and Gin gotta help me," Ron hissed.
"I'll do no such thing Ronald. For once you are on your own."
"But 'Mione…"
"That's enough of your foolish whining Weasley. One more word and I'll take ten points from Gryffindor just because you are pathetic." The dungeon door slammed shut and professor Snape quickly hurried to the front of the room. He waved his wand at the blackboard and words magically appeared. They seemed to be a recipe for a complicated potion. Sakura's face immediately brightened. Now's my chance to test my skills as a medical ninja. Maybe it's a complicated healing potion…
"This is the potion you will attempt to concoct. I say attempt because 94 percent of you will fail at it while the other 6 percent of you will surely produce something that's merely acceptable." Sakura wrinkled her brow frowning up at him. Is he serious? He must don't know... "You may begin."
"Huh? Begin what?" Naruto asked. He had not been paying attention. Instead, he had been focusing chakra in his hand, attempting to make mini chakra balls.
"We have to get started making this potion."
"Oh…oh right." Naruto squinted his eyes looking up at the blackboard. "One eye of newt…Neji, what's eye of newt?"
"Uh…well, it's…hell if I know," he muttered. He opened his book and flipped to the back to the index. When he found the page that it was on, he turned to it and saw a picture of what he was looking for. "It's this right here."
"Oh ok." Both Naruto and Neji took out their cauldrons and began heating them. Then they both began chopping up their leaves and other herbs.
"Alright. The next thing we do Naruto is add one toad."
"Oh ok. Well that one's easy but…does it have to be dead or alive?"
"God you really are an idiot," Ino mumbled.
"HEY! WHAT YOU SAY?!"
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto looked up to see Professor Snape towering over him and Neji. Neji acted as if nothing was wrong and continued to work on his potion. Creepy old man. Better not say anything to me or I will do him in for sure. I am not in the best of moods so it better be Naruto he's after.
"Uh…yes sir?"
"Ten points from Gryffindor. I don't know who you think you are but I do not allow such behavior in my classroom."
"But I didn't do anything."
"You were screaming and that was totally unnecessary."
"I'm sorry but she…"
"I don't want or need to hear your feeble excuses. You're the same as Potter, our other celebrity. You strut about the scool thinking that you can do whatever you want because of your fame and glory but not with me."
"I don't see what my fame has to do with Naruto," Harry said frankly. Snape cut his eyes toward him and smirked.
"Ten more points from Gryffindor. If you can't make the connection then that's your problem. I, on the other hand, am in charge in this room and if I choose to relate your feeble life to that of a kit's then that's what I'll do."
"I didn't know I was a celebrity so go me," Naruto grinned. Ino and Sakura groaned before throwing paper at the back of his head. "Hey, quit it!"
"You're the one who needs to get a clue!" Sakura hissed. "You keep on pushing his buttons then you're going to get yourself into a whole lot of trouble."
"Oh who cares what that greasy haired bat thinks? I'm not afraid of him," Naruto mumbled.
"Excuse me?" Professor Snape asked softly.
"What? You're still here? I thought you may have sprouted wings and flown to the other side of the room," Naruto muttered. The entire class erupted into laughter. Neji held his head down to keep from laughing out loud while Harry and Ron did nothing to mask their amusement.
"Si…LENCE!" Snape yelled.
"What are you yelling for old man? I thought you said indoor voices only."
"Ten more points from Gryffindor," Snape hissed. He pulled his wand from the inside of his robe and pointed it at Naruto. "Now let's get something straight. I've heard a lot about you and your special powers but that doesn't mean you have the right to insult me in my classroom. You keep testing me and I will make the rest of your stay here at Hogwarts a living hell."
"I'd like to see you try it grease box and get that stick out of my face before I knock it out," Naruto snapped.
"And I'd like to see you try it."
"Enough Naruto," Neji said softly.
"But Neji…"
"Listen to your friend kit. At least I now know one of you has some sense. And to think I thought all you ninja were ignorant fools whose egos surpassed even that of the 'Boy Who Lived'."
"Ignorant are we?" Neji asked softly. His Byakugan eyes were blazing and his fists were clinched ready for battle.
"Now now Neji. Calm down," Naruto mocked. "Did you not tell me to let it go? You should learn to take your own advice."
"But he just called me an idiot. I'm no idiot! I'm a fucking genius."
"Yes, we all know this Hyuuga boy but if I can't take a stab at him you can't either."
"But…"
"I DO NOT HAVE AN EGO PROBLEM!" Neji and Naruto looked back to see Harry staring at Snape furiously. His wand was clenched in his fist and he was shaking like mad. Snape only looked bored ignoring Potter completely before taking his seat at his desk.
"Potter you've just cost Gryffindor another ten points. No, make that twenty."
"TWENTY!" Ino yelled. She was standing on her feet glaring angrily at the greasy haired man across the room.
"Yes twenty. Are you deaf?"
"Why I ought to…"
"Sit down," Sakura hissed.
"Nope. That did it for me. Watch this." She arched her hands together and closed her eyes mumbling a jutsu. "Ninja Art-Mind Transfer Jutsu," she whispered.
"No, Ino no…" But it was too late. Ino's body went limp and her head slouched over onto Sakura's. Oh gee…this is going to be really bad…
"Does anyone else have something to say?" Snape coaxed. "I didn't think so. Gryffindor, I think you've set a new record today. I don't think you'll be able to recover enough to win the House Cup this year. Pity. Clearly fame isn't…" Professor Snape stopped mid sentence and stood up out of his chair. He had a look of pure enlightenment on his face. He reached inside his robe and pulled out his wand. Oh damn. I don't know any…wait. Yes, I do. Ino made Professor Snape climb on top of his desk with the rest of class looking slightly confused.
"She used her Mind Transfer Jutsu," Neji commented.
"Yeah and we're so going to be in trouble," Sakura groaned.
"Yeah well, he had it coming," Naruto mumbled.
"BIPPIDY BOPPEDY BOO! I SMELL LIKE POOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Snape yelled.
He was waving his wand around madly making purple sparks fly from his wand as he spun around the table singing badly. Ino was giggling on the inside and was well aware of Snape's conscience trying to kick her out but she was too strong for him. Let's see what else I can make him do…He jumped from the table and ran across the room wildly. The class erupted into laughter and even Sakura had to laugh at this. Snape looked like a giant penguin running around the room. He stopped when he got in front of Naruto and Neji and smiled sweetly.
"Neji, I think you're hot and Naruto, well, you're still an idiot."
Naruto drew back and punched Snape in the face sending him flying across the room and into shelf holding all the glass beakers. Oh my head…Ino looked up to see the glasses falling towards her. Oh! Perfect time to exit. Ino opened her eyes just in time to watch the glasses fall and hit Snape on the head. The class once again erupted into laughter. Seconds later they were silenced when the glasses exploded off of Snape and he stood to his feet. His face was swollen and he had a black eye. There were cuts all over his face and he was bleeding from the nose, but that didn't seem to have phased him in the least. His wand was stretched out in front of him and he was pointing it directly at Naruto.
"STUPEFY!"
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Snape's wand went flying into the air and into the hands of Harry Potter.
"DETENTION! NARUTO! HARRY! DETENTION OR ELSE I'LL HAVE YOU EXPELLED! NOW GIVE ME MY WAND! GIVE IT NOW OR ELSE…!" The bell rang and everyone quickly began filing out of the room. Harry sent Snape's wand flying across the room before running out of the room. Naruto and the others all followed suit. Ino however, was having a hard time walking. Her chakra was low after using that technique and she was feeling very faint. She took three steps and fell backwards, never realizing that someone was behind her. Ron scooped Ino in his arms and hurried out of the classroom towards the medical wing.
--xx--
"Hey where's Ino?" Sakura asked. She, Neji, and Naruto were standing in one of the halls waiting for their next class.
"I dunno," Naruto said shrugging.
"She's with Ron." They turned to see Harry, Hermione and Ginny standing before them.
"Oh well she could have at least…"
"He took her to the hospital wing," Neji replied. He had used his blood line trait to find Ino and he spotted Ron carrying her inside the hospital wing.
"I told her not to use that technique! She know it uses up far too much chakra and can be dangerous," Sakura scolded.
"Yeah well, it was pretty damn funny," Ginny grinned.
"How did she do that?" Harry asked.
"Well, it's called the Mind Transfer Jutsu," Neji answered. "She places here spirit inside that of another body. By doing so her own body is left vulnerable. It's not a safe technique to use when you're fighting alone."
"Wow! That's so amazing!" Hermione squealed. "I'm going to be sure to look it up later."
"So…so Naruto, why did professor Snape call you a celebrity?" Harry asked.
"Huh? Hell if I know. He was just being a prick, I don't see how you make it with the old coot. He reminds me of grandma Tsunade," he said frowning.
"Oh well, what's with this 'kit' thing. He…he called you a kit."
"Uh, I don't know," Naruto replied, scratching his head.
"God, you don't know anything about yourself do you?" Neji asked.
"Uh…I know that I'm destined to be Hokage."
"That's really all you know," Neji grumbled. "His kyuubi inside of him is why he's called a kit sometimes. See the whiskers on his face?" Neji asked. Harry studied Naruto's face closely and realized that it did in fact look as though Naruto had whiskers.
"But, I still don't…"
"He'll have to explain it to you," Neji replied. "Naruto knows more about it than I do, though it may appear otherwise."
"Huh? What?" Naruto asked.
"Good luck trying to make friends and carry on a conversation with that idiot." The bell rang again signaling the start of another class session.
"Well guys I think it's time we head for the Charms room," Sakura noted.
"Oh fuck. We have that with the Slytherins," Harry grumbled.
"Harry, watch your language," Hermione hissed.
"Yeah well Malfoy's a bitch and he's got one time today."
"Wait a sec. Isn't that Sasuke's group?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah and what of it? Are you two in love or something?" Neji asked.
"HELL NO!" Naruto hissed turning red in the face. Neji just shook his head in disbelief. I hope this session turns out better than the last.
AN: Sorry about the long delay but as you can see I have several stories that need finishing. If I could stay away from YOUTUBE and other things, I might have time to update my stories. -sigh- But alas, I cannot help myself and between all the worldly distractions and school, I have no time to do anything. Well I hope you enjoyed the update. I think Oro will be in the next chapter...maybe. I dunno know yet and the rating WILL change to MATURE t some point but it may be a while. I haven't quite decided yet. The pairings will change from time to time so you better get used to it. No pairing is safe in this story. Don't like it? Too bad. Now review lest it be 100 days before I update again. MWAHAHAHAHA
