Finding Magic

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter.

Summary: Team Gai, while on routine boarder patrol run into a war hardened Harry Potter. In which Lee finds a new sensei, many a tongue lashing, and Gai finds some one who tells him to use his inside voice. N/HP crossover Yaoi

Warnings: Yaoi, if you have a problem leave. I will laugh at any badly written flames and point than out to every one so they can see just how stupid you sound.

Pairings: Gai/Harry. I'm a strong believer that Gai needs more love. Plus I've never seen one like this before. Others to be deiced.

Notes: This takes place about two months before Naruto returns and is AU for book 6 &7 of Harry Potter.

Chapter Twelve: Part Two or Chapter Thirteen

The rest of dinner was filled with small talk, as the Teams usual cheer returned. Meaning of course Lee was back to his usual good cheer, Neji was ignoring almost everyone, Tenten trying, and failing, to keep Gai and Lee in line. With their meal finished and Youthfully Heartfelt Goodbyes exchanged, Gai's students went home.

Gai on the other hand had something he planned to do before he slept that night. "If I do not find Potter-san before midnight, I will do 500 laps around Konoha on my hands!" Gai said, hands on his hips and chest thrown out. And he was off, a blur of green that the villagers bemoaned when a second smaller one was added to the village a few years ago.

He had cried manly tears the day his youthful student started to wear the Youthful Power Suit he had gifted to him. And the villagers had cried manly tears as well, never mind that he had thought he heard a few awed people say "Not another one, dear Kami please, not another one!"; but he was sure he had misheard.

Gai shook his head, now was not the time for trips down memory lane. Kakashi's apartment complex was in sight, and with a burst of speed he launched himself through the open hallway window. In lest than a second he was knocking on Kakashi's door.

"Open up, my Eternal Rival, I wish to have a Youthful Discussion with Potter-san!" he exclaimed with fists planted firmly on this hips as he waited patiently for the shuffling sound of his rival coming to answer the door. He waited an minute, them another, and another after that. Eyebrows furrowed, he stretched his chakra into the apartment, only to find it empty. This was troublesome, Kakashi was always home after nine, unless he was on a late mission or at the Memorial Stone.

Walking this time, Gai made his way out of the complex; using the door this time. Deep in thought he made his way down the peaceful night street. Kakashi was already on a mission; he was getting paid to watch and house Potter-san. And Kakashi would not visit the Stone if Potter-san was with him. Perhaps their shared friend and Youthful Comrade Genma would know where to find Kakashi.

Gai, recalling a comment from the mission room that morning, knew that he had had to sub for an ill instructor that day. With a nod of his head and a happy smile, Gai made his way to the Shinobi bar where he new his comrade would be. He would never understand why Genma always got drunk after spending his day with the Shining Youthful Future Shinobi of Konoha. He himself wished he could be the same, but for some reason unknown to him, his applications to substitute at the Academy had never been answered. When he had inquired to the Chunnin in charge of the matter he was told that his application had been lost. He has been prepared to fill in another one, but had been told there was no need for him to do so. Gai shook his head again, he seemed to be reminiscing more and more lately.

The bar he found himself in front of didn't have a name, and the subtle genjutsu over the bar made the place nondescript; the way a Shinobi handout was supposes to look. The genjutsu would have to be renewed soon, he noticed. It was a common practice in Konoha to place illusions over shinobi pacific places. This was of course so Gennin and civilians didn't come wandering in. They're were of course some exceptions to this, as it all depended on your chakra level or the ability to spot genjutsu to get inside.

This of course had lead to a rather hilarious afternoon two years ago when Kakashi's team had been able to follow him inside. Naruto had been the first of the young Gennin to walk in, not even pausing in the street as Sakura and Sasuke had. Naruto, being the Youthful Shinobi he was, had planted himself in front of his sensei and exclaimed, "Kakashi-sensei, why'd you bring us to a bar when your suppose to be training us." He had said some other things, but every one had been looking at the rather surprised looking Jounin. I had been the first time many of them had ever seen him so, many of them still teased him about it.

Gai shook his head as he walked into the bar. He really had to do something about these flashbacks; they weren't a bad thing. But to be distracted while on a self imposed mission was unforgivable, he would have to double his training tomorrow. He nodded his head with the decision and looked up in time to see Anko, who was sitting at a booth in the back, being bound to where she sat.

Her loud gasp causing the bar to hush, and shocked looks to appear and every face who had seen just how she had ended up this way.

"Oops." Every one's head swung to stare at the sheepish looking dark haired man, none of them noticing Anko's bonds disappearing. "I apologize, Anko-san. I seemed to have forgotten to remove that little charm. Good thing too, you looked like you were going to take off his head." He finished, making a vague motion towards the still oblivious Genma. The room remained silent for a few seconds before Anko yelled.

"But I thought the magic was in the chair!!" Her mouth was gaping, and she seemed to have forgotten about Genma.

"That wouldn't have worked for that spell." At her confused look he continued. "The charm I used can't be placed an a living beings and requires contact to work. As soon as you would have left the chair it would have no longer worked."

"So let me get this straight," Anko said; face and tone displaying nothing but a deadly seriousness. "it was not in fact, the chair you charmed, but something on my person?" Harry gulped but nodded. "So the chair is completely magic free?"

"I wouldn't say magic free, there is the trans-" Anko glared, and Harry nodded vigorously.

"Good now if you'll excuse me there is something I have to go get." She was up and half way to the door before Harry realized it.

"Wait, Anko-san I should remove the spell first." But Anko who was about to brake into a sprint ignored him. So Gai, being the Youthful Gentleman that he was, reached out his arm to try to stop her as she passed. As soon as his hand landed on her shoulder, he felt her tense and was preparing to bloke her fist…

But he didn't need to for within the next second Anko was pulled ten feet away as ropes bound her to the support beam placed smack dab in the middle of the crowed shinobi bar. Everyone watched in silence as surprised flashed across her face before it vanished to be replaced with a down right deadly glare.

"Oh, Harry-chan, if you would be so kind as to remove the little spell you used." She said in a sickenly sweet voice that didn't match her face at all. Harry gulped again before making his way to stand in front of Anko.

"I'm not sure if I should do that Anko-san." The room dropped a couple of degrees as her killer intent was raised.

"And why is that, Harry-chan." her fingers twitched in a rather violent way as she said this.

"Because your still tied." Harry's voice was so matter-of-fact that Anko paused before replying.

"I can see that, but I really have a chair I need to steal before Ibiki burns it." Harry's shot Anko a disbelieving look.

"Your telling me this is all about the chair I transfigured when we first meet." Anko nodded. "I chair I can make again in a matter of seconds." Anko stopped halfway between a nod with a dumbfounded look, then the ropes disappeared and she was standing in front of Harry with an eager look on her face.

"Really Harry-chan!!" She exclaimed while shacking him by the shoulders. Harry was barely able to nod before he found himself being released. His balance no longer with him he knew he was going to hit the floor, except strong arms found themselves wrapped around his waist.

He was about to thank the man behind him when a loud startled curse broke the silence of the collective Jounin in the bar. This was followed by Anko firmly placing one of the bar's wooden chairs in front of him; not paying any mind to the darkly muttering shinobi she had stolen it from. "Change it, change it, change it!!" she chanted while bouncing up and down with impatience.

Harry cast a wary glance at the shinobi in the bar, before sighing and pulling out his wand. It wasn't like he hadn't already broken the Secretly Act regarding muggles, and these weren't normal non-magical people. No these people could some how tap into natural magic. Hell he could even sense a few magical signatures in the people in the bar, weak and untrained as they were.

The bar watched in barely contained awe as the wooden chair was changed into a rather comfy looking lounge chair, only Anko's excited squeal snapping them out of it. Her squeal was of course followed by her slithering, yes slithering, into the new chair. Where she wiggling around, pausing every now and then to moan loudly when she found a particularly comfy spot. This of course causing more than a few nose bleeds.

When she seemed to have found the perfect resting spot, sitting with her back on the set while her legs hung from the back of the chair, she turned to Harry with a smile to thank him. Only she never did, as her smile morphed into a smirk and she said in a teasing voice:

"Really Harry-chan, you should have told me you had a date with Gai; I would have left this for another time…" Harry was confused, then of course he remembered the person who had kept him from meeting the floor. Slowly he looked down at the arms still around his waist; oh yes he recognized those sleeves. Just as slowly Harry turned his head, he recognized that chest to, dreading what would meet him if he looked up Harry did so anyway. And what would you know; Maito Gai was holding him around the waist, seeming to have forgotten about him after his little display of magic.

Gai snapped out of his daze when he felt the person he was holding jerk away from him, and watched as Potter-san launched himself almost five feet away almost tripping on the new lounge chair in the process. Having snapped out of his daze, Gai, realizing his goal for the evening was standing in front of him launched into his prepared speech.

"Ah, Potter-san, just the man I was looking for. I wish to have Youthful discussion with you regarding what you plan to teach my Adorable Student Rock Lee!! I'm sure you, my Youthful New Comrade of Academia, already have several training sessions planned." Gai finished his Youthfully Short Speech with a Good Guy Pose and a Confidently Youthful Smile.
