Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter. People in my family don't talk, they shout. Which is really annoying when I'm trying to watch T.V
"It's too bad we got Defense against the Dark Arts with the Slytherins." Ron complained loudly to Harry
"I'm still not sure I understand the differences between all the houses." Naruto folded his arms and looked confused
Hermione heaved a sigh, tired of trying to explain it.
"Okay, it's very simple.." she began slowly
"Um, ano." Hinata adressed Harry and Ron (Akamaru had fallen asleep in her arms), "Why do you hate Slytherin so much?"
Harry and Ron looked at eachother for a second before Ron launched into a tirade against Slytherin. Then he made a huge mistake. Some Slytherins (including Gaara and Neji )
were walking by and Ron just couldn't resist saying loud enough for them to hear clearly,
"Everyone knows that only monsters come from Slytherin."
Gaara didn't say anything, but his pace changed slightly.
Before Ron knew what was happening Kankurou had him dangling off the floor and his nose was starting to turn blue.
"Keep talking that way about Gaara, go on, I dare you to say something else bad about my little brother and I'll take you out!"
"Kankurou," Gaara thought "Arigato."
"Or Neji!" Ten-Ten said
Ron nodded meekly and Kankurou let him go.
"That's some speed, mate." Ron said after he'd gotten his breath back
The other shinobi ( except Naruto who was giving a thumbs up) sent Kankurou cold looks for behaving so wrecklessly.
Ten-Ten and Hinata seperated from everyone to go join the rest of the Huffle puffs in Herboleogy.
In class the students lined up around a wardrobe that was shaking.
"Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what is in there?" Proffessor Lupin asked
"It's a boggart. They take the shape of whatever a person fears the most." Someone answered
Proffessor Lupin nodded in approaval of the response.
"Very good, now we're going to practice the spell to repel the boggart. Nothing finishes off a boggart better than laughter."
Immediatly the shinobi felt sorry for Gaara, Shino, and Neji.
A boy named Neville was the first to go. Laughter rang out at the sight of Proffessor Snape in Neville's grandmother's clothing. The students formed a line eager for their turn. One after another they went.
Shino stepped up to take his turn at the boggart. It turned into a gigantic can of bug spray and Naruto broke out in a hysterical laughing fit. Shino whipped out his wand as quickly as possible and cried,
"Ridiculous!"
instantly it changed from a can of bug spray to a confetti party popper. As Shino went to the back of the line he looked releived. His bugs were still nervously shaking from the close encounter with the number one thing of evil.
Kankurou's greatest fear turned out to be that all the kitty hats in the world were gone. He was so upset that he couldn't stop the boggart.
"Here I thought his greatest fear would be his puppets getting destroyed." Naruto muttered
"No, Temari decided his puppet fetish had become unhealthy so we've been forcing him to see a therapist." Gaara explained
It was Naruto's turn, but Gaara stopped him.
"We shouldn't risk it, just in case." He realized that his greatest fear was being alone again, but Gaara didn't want to risk Shukaku or Kyuubi making a surprise visit.
"But, Naruto protested
"I agree." Neji told him and Naruto sulkingly caved in
Gaara skipped his turn, too.
Two more Gryffindors and three Slytherins took their turns.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru yawned, stepping up to the boggart after a Slytherin girl had gone.
Somehow the Boggart managed to show no more shadows existing in the world. All the Naruto characters understood, knowing how much Shikamaru depended on his shadows. Everyone else was completely baffled. Suddenly a shadow appeared thanks to a large and very familiar fan. Shikamaru hung his head to hide the fact that he was blushing. Meanwhile Naruto kept laughing and winking at him. Again, everyone was confused.
After class Neji stayed behind with Shikamaru and Naruto (who was only there out of curiousity of what the other two were staying there for)
"Just what are you?" Neji asked calmly
"What are you talking about?" Proffessor Lupin hoped he didn't look nervous
"Nani, nani? He's a proffessor, Neji." Naruto told him
"His chakra pattern is somewhat similar to how Kiba's is when he does that." Neji explained, referring to Kiba's beast mimickry
"Nani?!" Naruto exclaimed before practically leaping at Proffessor Lupin. "Have you ever heard of someone named Fenrir Greyback?"
Proffessor Lupin's eyes became unmistakably wide.
9999999999999
Kiba felt pain in his wrists and legs and woke up to find that it was because he was chained up.
"So you're finally awake." He heard a voice say and saw Fenrir Greyback approaching him. "Don't bother making any hand signs, those chains drain your chakra."
"Why you, where's Akamaru?" Kiba shouted, worried about his dog and embarrassed that he had been caught
"Don't know. I left him behind." Greyback shrugged
Kiba felt both releived that Akamaru was okay and upset that he wasn't with him. Also, the way Greyback was looking at him was making him tense.
"Why am I here?" Kiba asked, hoping that none of the nervousness he felt had creeped into his voice
Greyback grabbed Kiba's throat and began to squeeze until Kiba had no choice but to open his mouth. Greyback tapped on his fang.
"Because of things like this. When I explain it more clearly you'll see why you're interesting to me."
He let go, leaving the dog-nin gasping for breathe.
