Chapter Four: Dementors, Trials, and Mr. Cuddles!?!
Naruto stumbled out of the fireplace at the Ministry of Magic. His once orange outfit was now pitch black, but he didn't really care. Focusing, he quickly searched for Dumbledore's chakra. He growled as he picked up a faint trace coming from way below him. Stalking to an elevator, he completely ignored everyone around him.
His impatience grew as the elevator stopped at each floor. By the time they reached the ninth floor, he was ready to explode. He forced himself to walk down the corridor until he reached a door with a slightly balding man with flaming red hair standing next to it. It was here, just behind these doors. He kicked them open violently and stomped into the room.
Dumbledore looked up slightly surprised as he saw the blonde storm in, a slacked jawed Mr. Weasley staring after him. Fudge stopped shouting for a minute before he regained his composure and yelled at Naruto. "Who do you think you are? You can't just barge in here like you own the place. Leave this instance before I have some dementors escort you out."
Naruto's face went death white at the mention of the dementors. He turned slitted scarlet eyes on Fudge who flinched under the piercing gaze. "Are you the man in charge here?" This time Percy spoke up. "Of course he is, now leave. You are interrupting an important case." Naruto silenced him with a glare.
"If your in charge then that means you can answer my question. Why the hell were their dementors in a muggle neighborhood? I'm minding my own fucking business and out of nowhere, two of them appear running from some silver stag before the stag disappeared. I could understand it if you had sent them to catch a Death Eater or something, but the only fucking wizard I even sensed within twenty miles of the area is that boy there. Now, can you please answer this simple question for me. What the fuck were you thinking?"
Dumbledore's eyes widened in shock. This boy had seen the dementors, not only that, he had seen Harry's Patronus. Fudge stared for a moment before he spoke. "You must be mistaken, no dementors have been sent out into muggle neighborhoods. Now, will you please leave or would you like a pair of dementors to escort you to a cell?" Naruto glared at the man before an evil smirk spread across his face. His eyes returned to their normal blue appearance.
Drawing a kunai, he sliced his palm open before forming a series of hand seals. He pressed his hand to the floor, a cloud of smoke appearing as he summoned a blood red fox with three tails. "What do you want Naru-chan?" Naruto smiled at the fox's nickname for him. "Please deliver this message to Tsuande. Unless you want to go to war with the wizarding world, then get your ass over here before I pull a Gaara and go on a killing spree. Tell her she has two minutes. Bring her here directly, okay Ruby?" The fox smiled, disappearing with a small pop and a cloud of smoke.
She wasn't even gone for more than a minute when she reappeared with a very angry Tsunade. "I told you to stay out of trouble. And if you didn't know, killing people and starting a war is getting into trouble." Naruto stopped her angry rant as he allowed a few tears to slide down his cheeks, unable to keep them back any longer. She immediately forgot her anger as she rushed over and embraced him. "Talk. Now." Naruto nodded his head before he hid his face into her chest.
"Remember my trip to investigate an odd barrier that was found? Well, I didn't tell you that I ran into a couple of dementors. I was able to teleport back to my hotel room before their presence took effect. I remembered things I didn't want to remember. I was forced to relive my fifth birthday. The guy in charge says that the dementors must have been a figment of my imagination since he hadn't sent them. Then he threatened to have a pair escort me out for interrupting a trial. But its more like the kid has to sit and listen to the bastard call him a liar and then punish him for telling the truth and doing some magic that saved his life."
At this, Fudge exploded. "How dare you doubt me! When I said that there is no possible chance that a dementor was sent out, then its true. And what the hell did you do? Where did that fox come from and how the hell did it apparate? Not to mention the woman." "Don't you dare say another word or I will be more than willing to declare war on you. I didn't know that you wizards were so disrespectful that you would yell at the Prime Minister of Fire Country."
Fudge ignored her early warning and yelled at her. "What Prime Minister? And their is no such place as Fire Country." Tsunade cut him off. "You must be incompetent at your job Cornelius Fudge, because if you had done your job properly, then you would be familiar with the Treaty of Ignorance that my grandfather had signed when he founded Konoha. Since you don't know what it says, I'll give you the simple version. Only the members of the Ministry of Magic would know of the existence of our continent, which is hidden from the entire world, much like Hogwarts with the exception that ships and planes are teleported to the other side if they try to sail or fly through it. It was agreed that if you left us alone, we would leave you alone. It did not mean that interaction was prohibited, but because the majority of our population didn't know about wizards, they were ignorant of your existence and vice versa. Now, please explain to me why you, as a leader, didn't know of my country's existence until I told you? Are you not suppose to know all treaties that have been signed by those that preceded you?"
Fudge went very pale at this. Apparently he had heard of Konoha. "Please forgive me Tsunade-hime, I had completely forgotten. Harry, since it seems that what you have said is true you will be pardoned, but you might not be so lucky the next time you use magic outside of school. Tsunade-hime, would you like to join me for a cup of tea. I'm sure there is much we should talk about."
Tsunade hid a smirk as she bent down and planted a kiss on Naruto's cheek. She whispered quietly into his ear so that only he heard what she said. "Don't worry, I'll make the bastard squirm for ya. Now be good and don't start any wars with other countries. You can cause chaos at school as long as you don't use any jutsus. Have fun. And Naruto, do yourself a favor and be selfish for once. You deserve to be loved. I know you like Sasuke, and I have a feeling its mutual. Confess to him, see where it goes from there." Tsunade pulled away and gave him a smile before ruffling his hair. "I'll see you later. Don't forget, send your reports every week with a summon."
Harry couldn't believe what had just happened. A blonde boy bursts into the courtroom and starts screaming at Fudge, then he makes a fox appear without a wand and tells it to get someone or he would kill people. And if that wasn't enough, a blonde woman with the biggest breasts he's ever seen apparates into the room and starts yelling at the blonde boy for a minute before she gives him a hug. The blonde said something and then Fudge starts yelling. The blonde woman starts yelling back saying something about hidden continents and a treaty. Then Fudge apologizes and he's free to go.
Harry looks at Dumbledore who seems to be just as startled as he was, but he was smiling with his blue eyes twinkling more than usual. Harry didn't say a word until they were out of the room and halfway down the hall. "What just happened?" Dumbledore smiled. "I don't really know Harry, but he just got you out of trouble. And just who might you be young man?" The blonde boy had followed them out of the courtroom. He looked hurt for a moment before he flashed them a smile. "You really did look better with purple hair old man. I could dye it for you again, but I think I'll do it orange this time."
Harry had no clue what the boy was talking about, neither did Mr. Weasley, but apparently Dumbledore did. "I daresay that green really did suit you. Especially that shade of lime." Naruto chuckled as he cracked a genuine smile that reached his eyes, lighting his whole face up and making him look years younger. Harry was really confused at this point. He decided to ask the blonde a question. "Was that lady your mom or something?" Harry was surprised when the blonde stopped smiling and a look of sadness spread across his face, darkening his eyes until they were almost black. "No, she's the leader of my village." Harry took that as his que to shut up.
Dumbledore bowed his head in sadness. "I need to visit your village sometime. Naruto-kun, do you mind telling me how he died. Your Hokage only said that he was killed during battle." Naruto nodded solemnly. "I'll tell you later. But I think Tsunade-baa-chan didn't want to tell you how he died in a letter because she wanted to tell you in person since you were an old friend of the Third's. We should hurry back. The transfer students are waiting and I have the feeling that you failed to mention our arrival since we were greeted by a paranoid lunatic and a werewolf. I told everyone to stay silent until I came back with you." Dumbledore nodded as he led the way into the elevator.
Naruto spoke again, but this time he spoke in a mixture of five different languages that weren't English. "Tsunade sent sixteen, including myself. We're all fifteen or sixteen, but we are some of the best and we have the added advantage of being underestimated because we are children. We will need to get wands if we are going to learn anything in this next month. I would like it if none of the teachers besides yourself knows what we are. I will assume that you will have some of your teachers catch us up in our studies. Tell them that we were not invited to Hogwarts because our magic was not detected until this summer due to the protective barrier around our village. Which is true in a way. Do not provide any special privlages to us. We will patrol the castle at night in shifts, if we get caught, which is highly improbable, then we will face whatever punishment is dealt to us. However, I do request that there be a room in which we will be allowed to train in."
Dumbledore nodded. Naruto gave him a mischevious grin. "Just because I'm older doesn't mean I've matured any. I'll warn you in advance, what I did to your hair when I was six will look innocent compared to what I have planned. As a wise man once said, 'Age brings many things. Maturity isn't always included.' Now, I have a saying for you. 'Only risk what you are willing to lose.' That isn't so much a saying as it is a warning. This is my saying to you that I will most definitely employ. 'Pranks, only pull them if you won't get caught. But be prepared for retribution tenfold if you are.' I learned that when I sported such an interesting shade of green hair." Dumbledore sweat dropped as he remembered his part in the dying of Naruto's hair. It looked like Naruto was going to play a prank that took a decade to plan.
Sasuke was fuming. He had found Naruto in Gaara's lap in Tsunade's office and then the blonde had given him a hug when they arrived. It had been almost an hour since Naruto left and he was beginning to get annoyed with having to stay in the same room with his new found love rival. It didn't help that Haku kept staring at him with a worried expression written all over his face.
Just before he could snap, Naruto fell out of the fire place quickly followed by a boy their age with spiky black hair, shocking green eyes similar to Sakura's, round glasses, and a thin lightning shaped scar slightly hidden behind his bangs. An old man with long silver hair and a beard of the same color that was long enough to tuck into his belt stepped out of the fire place gracefully, dusting off his purple robes. Sparkling blue eyes twinkled from behind a pair of half moon spectacles that were perched on a crooked nose that looked like it had been broken before.
The man that Naruto had called a werewolf quickly stood and rushed over to the bespeckled boy. Naruto gave a tired grin to his team before walking over to his backpack and digging through it. He pulled out a scroll and handed it to the old man who read it carefully.
Glancing at Haku, Naruto gave a heavy sigh before he spoke. "Haku, I thought I told you that Sasuke-teme wouldn't hate you just because of what happened in the past. You have heard of the phrase 'forgive and forget.' I doubt he hates you. Sure he's still probably pissed because you royally kicked his ass and handed it to him on a silver platter, but I don't think he hates you. If it will make you feel better, just apologize to the bastard. And Sasuke, stop glaring at Gaara. I don't know what he might have done to piss you off, but unless you want to contemplate what it would feel like to be buried in sand, I suggest you stop it. Oh, Shino and Kankuro, you'll probably be my first victims. Haku, are you still crushing on Zabuza or have you finally gotten over it and realized you saw him as more of a psychotic yet lovable older brother?"
Sasuke could feel his lips twitching as he held back a smile. Kankuro and Shino looked absolutely terrified. It was really funny. Sasuke looked at Haku and found the boy smiling sheepishly.
"Zabuza is not psychotic."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay maybe a little. And yes, I got over my crush. Why?" Naruto gave Haku a grin that sent shivers down his spine. "Oh, I just wanted to know if I should tell you that I was the one that set him up with Ibiki. They aren't that serious yet, but it looks good and its hilarious to watch them talking to each other. I don't think I've seen that much facial twitching in five minutes before. They refuse to show any emotion at all. That gives me an idea. If they aren't together when we get back, their going to be. Since you're no longer breaking your heart over Zabuza, I'm gonna hook you up. You'll never know what hit you, not even if you were staring it in the eye." Haku looked rather pale by the time Naruto finished his little speech.
Sasuke couldn't stop himself from smirking, unfortunately for him Naruto saw it. "Teme, don't think I don't have any evil schemes for you. Your last on my list but your still included." Gaara gave a small laugh and immediately drew Naruto's attention. "No, the world's going to end. I'm too young to die." This caused Gaara to scowl while Kiba burst into laughter, Akamaru yipping his opinion.
"You know what Gaara, you'll be my new teddy bear. Stupid Baa-baa kept mine. She said she would hug it whenever she missed me, meaning all the time. I want my Mr. Cuddles, but I guess you'll have to do." As if to prove his point, Naruto tackled the red head to the floor. Gaara sat up only to find Naruto in his lap and hugging him. He rested his head against his shoulder and fell asleep almost instantly.
All of the shinobi face-faulted when they heard light snoring coming from the blonde. Gaara's eye was twitching dangerously, but he didn't move to disturb the blonde. Finally he sighed and stood up, craddling the blonde in his arms. Naruto loosened his grip but didn't let go.
Sasuke glared at Gaara. How dare the red-head touch his Naruto. As if sensing the glare Naruto woke up and stared up sleepily at Gaara, much like he had with Tsunade. "What?" Naruto smiled as Gaara scowled at him. Turning his head, he looked at the old man. "The old man with the silver-hair is Dumbledore, he is the headmaster of the school that we will be attending. As for the other three wizards in the room, don't have a clue except that one's a werewolf, one's a paranoid old bat with a weird eye, and the other is a boy that seems to get in trouble with the government pretty often and he has a scar from a curse he got from an evil, perverted, snake dude. If you have any questions about what we will be doing tomorrow, direct them to the old man. Oh, Gaara, since your so cuddly, I'm gonna go back to sleep. Drop me and you'll learn a whole new meaning to the words hug and cuddle. Night."
Sasuke glared at Gaara, his jealousy apparent to all of the shinobi with the exception of Lee who was busy praising Naruto's flames of youth.
Dumbledore sighed, wishing that Naruto was still awake because he knew he would have to explain everything to him again. "Everyone take a seat and I'll start filling you in on what you will be doing. Harry, can you get everyone else? You'll all need to hear what I am about to say since it will make things easier for all of us. Remus, can you gather all of the available Order members that you can find. We will be needing their help with training." Harry disappeared into the hallway, returning with Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron and Hermione. Lupin also left and came back with Tonks, Snape, McGonagall, and Sirius.
Dumbledore conjured up extra chairs and an especially soft arm chair for Gaara who had the misfortune of holding a sleeping blonde. He took the seat gratefully, sinking into the soft cushions as Naruto shifted slightly in his lap. When everyone was seated, Dumbledore began to explain things.
"There will be sixteen transfer students at Hogwarts this year. They are new to the wizarding world since their was a barrier around their village that hid their magic until just recently. If they can learn four years worth of magic in the next month, then they will start as fifth years and will be sorted with the first years at the start of school feast. I will need your help in teaching them everything they need to know. As Naruto told me earlier, the sixteen of you will require wands. We might as well get all of your school supplies tomorrow. I'm sure that Mrs. Weasely will be kind enough to help you since she has experience. It would be so much easier to explain things if Naruto was awake, but since he isn't it can't be helped. Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall will tutor you, as will Lupin and Moody. Now, would you like to introduce yourselves. Just your first names will be fine, we can do full introductions later."
The shinobi nodded. "Sakura, nice to meet you." "Lee. The flames of youth burn..." Sakura slapped him on the head to shut him up so Neji could introduce himself. "Neji, a pleasure to meet you." "Tenten." "Hinata, Neji's my cousin." "Kiba, and this is Akamaru." Akamaru yipped his greeting. "Troublesome. Shikamaru." Shikamaru yawned before laying his head back on the table. "Temari." Chouji stopped eating his chips long enough to give his name. "Chouji." Ino glared at her boyfriend before smiling brightly. "I'm Ino." "Sasuke." "Haku. Nice to make your aquaintance."
"..."
Kankurou sighed. "Mr. Silent is Shino and I'm Kankurou. One of Temari's younger brothers." "Gaara, Kankurou's and Temari's younger brother. The blonde..." Naruto cut him off as he sat up and leaned back into Gaara's chest.
"Naruto. Now, before we finish introductions, let me get a few things straight. The old man filled you in on the magic blocking barrier thing that surrounds our village, right? Good, we'll skip the whole boring part of learning four years worth of magic in the next four weeks. Tomorrow we go shopping for all of our school supplies along with the other Hogwart's students that are here. I have a vault there with a mountain of gold collecting dust, so I'm paying for all of the supplies, for every student here, no arguments or you might find your hair an interesting new color. Ask the old man what happened to his hair when he tried to pay for a present that I had picked out for him. Our first stop when we get to Diagon Alley will be Gringotts. Then our chaperone will decide where we go next. Our last stop will be the wand shop since I don't want to be tempted by mischief and cause trouble. Oh, and if you have a crush and need help to confess, I'm the guy to turn to. Ask the couples here, I set them all up and I have plans for the five guys that are single. I'll probably have played matchmaker for at least a few of the students by the end of the school year. Now, I'll stay awake for your introductions, but as soon as your done I'm going back to sleep."
"Then, would you be kind enough to remove yourself from my lap?" Gaara kept his voice as pleasant as he could make it. "Nope. I already told you, you're my new Mr. Cuddles. Unless you can find me another replacement, your stuck with me." Gaara looked like he was ready to kill. Dumbledore stiffled a chuckle as he stared at the blonde, remembering the small blonde boy that he used to be.
"You already know me, but I'll introduce myself again. Mad-eye Moody. Call me Mad-eye or Moody don't really care." "Tonks. Naruto, what did you do to Dumbledore's hair?" Naruto gave her a grin as he said in a stage whisper. "I think you should ask what he did to my hair in response." Tonks turned to Dumbledore, but he was whistling softly and staring at the ceiling. She gave a disappointed sigh as a plump red-headed woman introduced herself and her family. "I'm Molly, but you can call me Mrs. Weasely. These are my sons, Fred, George, and Ron. And this is my daughter Ginny." Naruto gave the twins a knowing smile which they returned with one of their own. They would get along just fine. "I'm Hermione." "Harry." "Harry's godfather, Sirius." "Servius Snape, but you will adress me as Professor Snape." "Professor McGonagall, I'll be your Transfiguration teacher." "Remus Lupin, but you can just call me Lupin." "And I'm ..."
"Old man. Legendary nut. Weird guy with the twinkling eyes. Expert extraordinare at ignoring questions. The one, the only, Albus too many names to remember Dumbledore. Yeah, I think we know who you are. If Baa-chan is still here, she'll probably have a word with you. Don't worry if she threatens you with extreme pain and torture if something bad were to happen to me. She's weird like that. Don't know why since I annoy her all the time." Dumbledore chuckled.
"I'm Albus Dumbledore, but you can call me Dumbledore-sensei if you are more comfortable with that. Now, I hope you don't mind sharing rooms. As you can probably tell, this house hasn't been lived in for a while and many of the rooms are unhabitable until we can clean them out."
Naruto gave a huge yawn. "Old man, give us a room and some sleeping bags and we'll be set for the night. As comfortable as Gaara's lap is, I'm pretty sure he'd kill me in my sleep if I stayed in his lap all night. I'm also pretty sure we've all had worse sleeping conditions than some sleeping bags. I remember one time I fell asleep while sitting under a waterfall, man talk about wrinkled skin. It was winter too, the only reason I remember that is cause I had to stay in bed for two weeks because I had pneumonia. What time do we have to be up tomorrow? If it isn't too early then I'll make breakfast for everyone. Doesn't matter what you have, I'll whip something up."
Dumbledore chuckled as everyone sweat dropped at the blonde's words. Naruto was still the same as he remembered. "You'll leave for Diagon Alley at eight, so you should be up and ready by at least 7:30 if you want to eat breakfast before you go. Now, you will also need to buy..." "We need to buy the books that were required for the first four years of school. Yeah, yeah. Give me some credit old man, I'm not so stupid that you have to point out the obvious. Ah screw it. Gaara, tuck me in would ya. Night people." Naruto instantly went back to sleep as everyone but Gaara face-faulted.
Gaara sighed, stood up and dumped the slumbering blonde into Sasuke's lap. Sasuke didn't even flinch as the blonde hugged him and buried his face into his chest. He smirked at Sasuke as Naruto started to drool, mumbling about dancing ramen bowls. Sasuke glared at the red-head before he turned to Dumbledore. "Can you please show us to our rooms? As Naruto said, we have all had worse sleeping conditions than a hard floor and sleeping bags. Naruto though, is the only idiot that would fall asleep under a waterfall in the dead of winter." "Ah, but of course. If you will follow me, then I will show you to your rooms. Please be quiet when you enter the hall." Sasuke stood up and followed the old wizard into the hallway. He was shocked at how light Naruto was. He was probably lighter than all of the girls.
The girls were given a room, Dumbledore conjured up bright purple sleeping bags for them before bidding them good night. He led the boys to a room further down the hall, conjuring the same bright purple sleeping bags that he had for the girls. He bade them good night, ruffling Naruto's blonde spikes before he left. Sasuke had some difficulty pulling the blonde off of him, but with Haku's help they finally managed to wrestle the boy into a sleeping bag. Gaara sat on the sleeping bag on Naruto's left and Sasuke was quick to grab the one on the right. With one final look at his secret love, Sasuke slipped into a peaceful sleep.
A/N: So, what do you think. Please review. I might not be able to update any more chapters for a while cause my computers acting funny. Stupid technology. I also know that there isn't two spaces between sentences, for some reason the stupid computer wouldn't let me edit it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. And please review.
