Chapter Five: Nightmares, Cookies, Robes, and Wands
A scream pierced through the house as the sun peaked above the horizon, waking everyone from their sleep. Sasuke jerked awake at the terror filled voice. For a moment, he was unsure of who had made the noise until he heard whimpering from his left.
It was Naruto. He was curled into a tiny ball and was whimpering softly in his sleep. Sasuke touched his shoulder, shocked when the blonde flinched. Gripping both shoulders, he tried to shake the boy awake, slightly aware that the girls had come rushing into the room. Seeing the trembling blonde, Sakura immediately rushed to his side, gently slapping his face as she tried to wake him. He refused to open his eyes.
Worried, Gaara ran down to the kitchen and returned with a bucket of water. He poured the icy liquid onto the blonde, sucessfully waking him. Naruto shot up and into a corner as his mind tried to seperate the real world from his nightmare. '
Kit, calm down. It was just a nightmare. You're safe, they can't hurt you anymore. Breathe. We've practiced it before. In, out, in, out. Good.' Naruto slowly nodded his head as he shivered, forcing himself to focus on his breathing. He gradually became aware of his surroundings as a figure approached him. Looking up, he saw the concerned eyes of Sasuke. 'Kit, don't space out. He's asking if your okay. At least nod your head or something.'
Naruto blinked, then blinked again as he realized he was the center of everyone's attention. He grinned sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, bad dream." He really wished that he had his Mr. Cuddles. He would hug the stuffed bear every time he had a bad dream. It never failed to calm him down. Sighing, he stood up and walked over to his backpack.
After rummaging around, he finally found the outfit that he was looking for. He shook his head, trying to rid his hair of some of the water that Gaara had poured onto him. A chorus of indignant yelps met his ears as the water hit unsuspecting bystanders. Naruto couldn't stop the smirk that spread across his face. "Does anyone know what time it is?"
Surprisingly enough, it was Dumbledore who answered. He had just walked into the room to see what all the fuss was about. "Seven. Are you still up to making breakfast? I know Molly would appreciate the help. I'll wake her up so she can show you around the kitchen." "Ah, let her sleep. I know my way around a kitchen. Just point out the fridge and cookware and I'm good to go. Can you tell me where the bathroom is?" Dumbledore smiled as he pointed out a door further down the hall. "Thanks old man. Will you be staying for breakfast or do you want me to see if you can meet with Baa-chan?"
"I was hoping you could contact Tsunade-hime to see if we could meet in person. I remember a few of the stories Sarutobi told me about his students." "Sure, sure. Let me summon Ruby and I'll see if the old hag is still here." A few hand seals, some blood, and a cloud of smoke later, Ruby sat in the middle of the room, yawning widely. "Whatcha need Naru-chan?" "Is Baa-chan still here of did she leave already?" "No, she's currently at the Leaky Cauldron. Probably getting drunk or gambling. She said that she would be leaving at around noon, that way she would get back at night." Naruto couldn't stop himself from smiling. "That sounds just like her, ditching her paperwork. Shizune's going to chew her ear off for this. Oh well, I guess we'll see her when we go to Diagon Alley. Thanks Ruby." "Say hi to Kyu-chan for me." "Sure sure. Now get going, I don't want you causing trouble." Ruby smirked, disappearing in the usual cloud of smoke.
Naruto went to the bathroom and stripped out of his orange jumpsuit, happy that he could finally wear something else. He pulled on his baggy cargo pants and the form fitting black sleeveless shirt that he had grabbed. Sticking his head under the sink, he ran water over his blonde spikes, rubbing them partially dry with a towel. Fully awake now, he bundled up his dirty clothes and slipped back into the room and stuffed them into his backpack before he made a dash for the kitchen.
Unfortunately for him, he tripped over his baggy pants as he dashed down the stairs. He landed at the bottom with a loud crash. A pair of curtains flew open, revealing a picture of an old woman. "Traitors. Mudblood filth. Get out of my house. Leave you wretched..." "Shut up you old hag. Do you want me to slice up your wrinkly face?" For a moment the picture was silent, then she started screaming again. Fed up, Naruto yanked the curtains closed, slapping a seal on them so they wouldn't open again. Grumbling, Naruto entered the kitchen, his bad mood immediately disappearing as he set about destroying the kitchen. He was sure to lock the door behind him so no one could enter until he was done.
Sasuke stared at the locked door, hearing another small explosion. "What do you think he's doing in there?" Sasuke shrugged. Sakura looked around at everyone else, looking for an opinion. Harry decided to answer. "Besides blowing up the kitchen, I have no clue." Mrs. Weasley looked worried as she stared at the door. "I hope not. If he got hurt, we wouldn't be able to get in to help him."
As if to prove her point, a high-pitched scream was heard from the kitchen. Several loud explosions followed it. Sasuke was about to break down the door when it swung open, revealing an unscathed and grinning blonde. "Did you like the theatrics? I must say, that scream was really convincing. It sounded like I chopped off my hand or something. Breakfasts ready so you can come in now." Everyone face faulted, then picked themselves up as a heavenly aroma met their noses.
"There's a mixture of foods from here and our country so feel free to experiment. Don't worry, I tasted everything myself so you shouldn't get food poisoning. Old man, are you going to come with us? I kinda wanted to surprise Baa-chan. I made her some cookies. Man, she eats them almost as much as she drinks sake. I think I'll have to send her a huge box every week while I'm gone."
Sakura gave a small shriek. "You mean you made those cookies? You'll need to send more than a box. Shizune's hooked on them too. And you defenitely have to make me and Hinata some. We've searched all the stores for them and couldn't find them. Tsunade wouldn't tell us were she got them. She eats at least a dozen everyday, and if she doesn't get any, let's just say crossing her on one of those days will gurantee you a month's vacation in the hospital." Sasuke looked slightly surprised, but when he remembered the chicken Naruto had made, he felt a small trickle of drool form at the side of his mouth. He had to get some of those cookies.
Harry couldn't believe the amount and variety of food that was on the table. He didn't even bother trying to identify the different dishes. He grabbed a plate and began to pile a little bit of everything on it. Ron and Hermione were doing the same, as was everyone else.
Moody stared at the food, not quite trusting the blonde's cooking abilities. "Old bat, if I wanted to kill you, you would be dead without you even knowing it. Now, stop staring and start eating before it's all gone. Between Chouji and the twins, there'll be nothing left pretty soon." And it was true, the three boys were inhaling as much food as they could get their hands on. Moody took a cautious bite, his eyes widening in disbelief. It was the best tasting pancakes he had ever had. Hell, everything was delicious.
"Naruto, you should open a restaurant. Hell, screw the restaurant. I'll pay you to cook every single meal for me." Naruto laughed as Chouji stared at him in awe. "Sorry Chouji, but I have to kick the old hag out of office. I might open a restraunt when I retire, but that's a long ways away. But I guess I could cook for everyone once a week. We could make it a tradition or something. You guys can take turns requesting dishes or something." "Dear, you have to show me how you made these biscuits, they're absolutely to die for." Naruto blushed at Mrs. Weasely's comment. "Sure. I'll show you Mrs. Weasely, but you'll have to show me how to make this cake that I found in the cookbook. I haven't heard of some of the seasonings they used."
Sasuke looked around the table, satisfied that everyone had looks of delight on their faces as they tried each dish. Even Gaara, Neji, and Shino had looks of amazement on their faces. Sasuke was sure that his face also betrayed his awe. It was almost eight when the last biscuit was eaten. Everyone had complimented Naruto on his cooking, even Snape which seemed to have shocked all of the other Hogwarts students and a few of the adults.
"Ah, I almost forgot. I kinda got carried away with the cookies and I ended up making somewhere around fifty dozen so you guys can have a dozen each. The rest I'll give to Baa-chan." Sakura gave a squeal of delight as she rushed over and glomped onto Naruto. Hinata also gave the blonde a shy hug. "Wait, your going to give Tsunade-sama twenty dozen cookies. Isn't that a bit much." Kiba stared at the blonde, waiting for an answer.
"Nope. She usually goes through that many in a week or two. I'm also going to have her share them with Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Ero-sennin, Zabuza, Ibiki, Anko, Kurenai, Asuma, Shizune, and Gai. I don't think I left anyone out. Anyway, can someone help me box these while everyone else gets ready. Oh, old man, do you have the list of school supplies that we will need?"
"Ah, yes. We decided that you'll only purchase the books for your fifth year. You can use everyone's old ones to study from. If you don't learn everything in time, then we'll have you purchase the books and things you'll need. Do you need some boxes for the cookies?" "Hai. Can I get ten boxes, and thirty bags? The boxes should be able to fit at least two dozen cookies each, and the bags should be big enough for a dozen. If I hurry, I should be done in ten minutes."
---Fifteen Minutes Later---Leaky Cauldron---
Naruto was the last to arrive, a bag hugged close to his chest. Brushing off his clothes, he spotted Tsunade immediately. Grinning he skipped over to her, shouting into her ear to wake her up. What happened next was absolute chaos. Roaring, Tsunade had picked up the table and flung it at the blonde who screamed dodging just in time. Unfortunately, the table flew straight at Sakura and Hinata who had caught it by reflex, used to Tsunade flinging furniture. The patrons at the bar stared slacked jawed as the two girls calmly set the table back down in its original place.
Tsunade had started yelling at Naruto but had stopped when he held a cookie under her nose. Like an obedient puppy, Tsunade had stopped yelling and sat down, staring at Naruto with puppy dog eyes that looked absolutely ridiculous. Naruto laughed before he handed her his bag of cookies, keeping the one in his hand for himself.
"There are twenty dozen cookies in the boxes in this bag. You have to share them though. There's a list of the people you have to share with. If they aren't there, then mail it to them. I'll send you at least three dozen a week. I'll also send a couple boxes for everyone else. But you have to settle for these for the next few weeks since I probably won't have time to bake any. Oh yeah, the old man wanted to talk to you. If you need me, I'll be in Diagon Alley shopping with everyone else. I also put seals on the boxes so you can't open them until you reach Konoha. And all of them won't open for you either so you have to share. I won't make you cookies ever again if you don't share, and I will find out if you don't. Bye, got to go."
Naruto left a horrified looking Tsunade with a chuckling Dumbledore who was happily munching on his cookies. Sakura gave Tsunade a comforting pat on the back while Hinata simply gave her a small piece of advice. "It's better to share his cookies than never have them again. You can always bribe him to make you more later, but if he says he'll never make you cookies again, he definitely won't make you any." Tsunade nodded, clutching the bag of cookies to her chest.
Gaara was having a hard time containing his laughter. He understood why the Hokage had looked so horrified. Naruto's cookies were addictive. Just one bite and you were hooked, it didn't matter what type of cookie it was. He had made sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisan cookies, and choclate chip cookies, all of them were just as addictive. But the look of absolute horror was just so funny.
A muffled giggle came from his left and Gaara glanced over just in time to see Haku trying to supress a smile. He felt his breath catch in his throat as his heart beat sped up at the sight of the smiling boy. He was just so...cute.
Wait, did he just think that Haku was cute?
'Yep, you did. And your right, he is pretty cute.' 'Shut up. Stupid racoon.' Gaara could hear Shukaku laughing in the back of his mind. Ever since he had lost to Naruto, the racoon demon had finally settled down. He could even sleep at night without the demon taking control of his body, but he still stayed up most nights. Old habits died hard, and it still was very unsettling to wake up.
Oddly enough, Shukaku had only driven him mad because he had thought that his cousin had been killed and he was going insane himself. But now that he knew that Kyuubi was sealed like he was, he wasn't as cruel as he used to be. He was still cruel, but that was how he used to be according to Kyuubi. Gaara had found this change greatly appreciated, except now the racoon would talk to him more often and he found this extremely annoying at times.
'You should talk to the blonde brat. He'll probably know what you're feeling since it seems he plans on getting you a mate. It sure as hell would make things easier for you. I mean, he set up Ibiki and Zabuza. If he got those two nuts together, I don't even want to find out what he'll do to you.' Gaara shuddered at the thought.
The racoon had a point, he definitely didn't want to find out what Naruto had planned. Looking for the blonde, he was surprised to find himself in an alleyway standing in front of a brick wall. He watched in boredom as Mrs. Weasely pulled out her wand and tapped some bricks. His jaw nearly dropped as the bricks began to move around until they formed and archway that led out to a brightly lit cobble-stoned street. He looked at his companions and was surprised that only Naruto didn't look shocked, but then he remembered that the blonde had said that he had been here before.
"Mrs. Weasely, where do you want to go first?" Mrs. Weasely glanced at the blonde boy next to her. "I suppose we should get your robes first since that will probably take the longest." "Okay, then I'll meet you guys at Madam Malkins. I'll run over to Gringotts to get the money. And I'm paying for everything, no arguments. You can't go to your vaults either since I got your keys. I'll give them back to you after we finish shopping. See you at Madam Malkins in fifteen minutes." With that, Naruto took off down the street leaving several shocked wizards behind.
"Well, come along dears. We'll get your robes first since it will certainly take the longest next to finding your wands." She led the large group down the street to a shop filled with different colored robes. Seeing the robes, Kiba immediately balked at the idea. "No way. I am not wearing a dress." Kankurou nodded his agreement. "I agree with dog-breath, I refuse to wear a dress."
Shikamaru sighed. "Troublesome." Temari nodded in agreement. "Shut up and wear them. Or do you want me to force you two into them?" Kankurou immediately backed down. His sister was scary when she was angry. Kiba still protested until both Ino and Sakura glared at him. He sulked as he was forced to be first to be fitted. Naruto showed up after Kiba, Kankurou, Chouji, Shikamaru, and Lee had been fitted. Neji was almost done.
"Hey guys. Sorry it took so long. I didn't know how much we would need so I ended up getting sacks for everyone. Lets see, there are sixteen of us plus five, that's twenty-one, plus another two and that's twenty-three. Good, I did get the right number of bags."
Dropping the sack he had slung over his shoulder, he started to hand out money-filled bags to everyone, including Mrs. Weasely. "That's my gift to you for being nice enough to chaperone all of us. Twenty-two kids is a lot to look after. Everyone has a hundred gold galleons. You can spend whatevers left after we get all of our school supplies." At the mention of how much was in each bag, Mrs. Weasely began to protest the amount. Naruto looked distraught as she tried to give the money back.
Seeing the blonde's distress Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder and whispered into her ear. "Just take it. Not many people accept him back home, so he really cherishes those who like him for him. He might not show it, but he's really sensitive about gifts. If you reject it, it breaks his heart. And he's stubborn, so he will get you to accept the money sooner or later." Mrs. Weasely sighed, but she gave the blonde a huge hug which he returned with enthusiasm.
While he had passed out the money and had argued with Mrs. Weasely, the rest of group had been fitted except for him and Sasuke. Naruto decided to go last, leaving the Uchiha no choice but to stand on the stool and be fitted with the black robes. It took only three minutes, but they lasted an eternity since Naruto seem to find the whole thing fascinating and was staring at him. As Naruto hopped up onto the stool, a boy with silvery blonde hair entered the store. His icy blue eyes flashed with contempt when he spotted their group.
Naruto watched as the blonde boy stalked over to their group. "Dear, I'll need you to take off your shirt since it's getting in the way." Naruto hesitated. "Can't I keep it on?" "No dear. The fabric keeps sliding off. I'll only take a few minutes." As Naruto hesitated, the other blonde growled at him. "Hurry up. I don't want to wait forever you know. Especially if I have to be in the same store as a Weasely, or worse, a Mudblood." Naruto stared as Ron's face turned red with anger and Hermione blushed, from what, he wasn't quite sure.
Growling, Naruto yanked his shirt off and tossed it to Gaara to hold. He didn't notice the gasps that filled the room at the sight of his well muscled chest and stomach. He did notice the sharp intake of breath as Madam Malkin caught sight of the scars that criss-crossed his back. These scars were reminders of each time he had been raped, and Naruto suddenly felt very vulnerable.
"Malfoy, that was uncalled for." Harry hissed at the boy, seething with anger. Naruto blinked in surprise when he saw a look of pain flash in Malfoy's eyes before he pushed it aside. "Shut-up Potter. I don't have to listen to a nut job." Naruto grinned wickedly. He had just found his first victim.
Jumping off the stool, he walked over to Malfoy and stood on tip-toe to stare the taller boy in the eye. "Unless you would like me to rearrange that pretty face of yours, I suggest you keep quiet until it is your turn. Now, shut up and sit down."
Naruto turned his back on Malfoy and started to walk back to the stool when Malfoy spoke. "What the hell happened to your back? Oh, I know. Your parents couldn't stand you so they beat you. Am I right?" Naruto stayed rooted to the spot as he began to have flashbacks of what really happened.
Gaara immediately rushed to the blonde's side and hugged him when he started to shake. Furious, Sasuke had stepped in front of Malfoy, his eyes turning red as his Sharingan activated. Malfoy visibly flinched at the sight of his eyes. "Speak to him again and I will be sure to give you a very painful death." Malfoy nodded, his eyes wide with fright. Turning his back on him, he rushed over to Gaara and Naruto.
He was still shaking and his eyes were glazed over. Gaara was gently rocking the boy back and forth, whispering his name over and over. He looked worried. Naruto wasn't responding at all. "Sakura, can you snap him out of it?" Sakura and Hinata examined Naruto carefully, Hinata activating her Byakuugan. Sasuke hoped that they could fix the blonde, wondering if Tsunade had trained them enough for them to deal with whatever was affecting Naruto.
Hinata shook her head as Sakura spoke. "We can't do anything for him. Whatever Malfoy said must have triggered some memories that he was trying to supress. I would ask Ino to try to enter his mind, but it might cause more harm than good. All we can do is wait for him to snap out of it." Sasuke stared at the blonde, worry creasing his face. "Can Tsunade do anything?" Sakura shrugged. "I don't know, but I'll run and get her." She left the store at a dead sprint, keeping herself from running at full speed in order to keep their cover. Five minutes later, she returned with a very panicky Tsunade.
She nearly burst in to tears when she saw the shivering Naruto. Pulling the boy into her arms, she began to scan him with her chakra. Her eyes blazed with anger when he let out a small whimper. "Talk. Now. What happened?" It was Gaara who spoke first. "Malfoy insulted Hermione and the Weasely's, then he insulted Harry. Naruto told him to shut up. When Malfoy saw the scars on his back, he asked where he got them then said his parents probably gave them to him. Naruto seemed to space out at this statement then he started to shake." "Who's Malfoy?"
Gaara pointed to the terrified blonde. She glared at the blonde, before she returned her attention to the blonde in her arms. "Do you know what happened to him?" Tsunade turned pain filled eyes to Sasuke. "All I'll say is he's probably remembering how he got these scars. From what he told me, he got them on his birthdays and a few other days. I couldn't bring myself to question him further. He should snap out of it pretty soon. How long has he been like this?" "A little more than ten minutes." Sakura was quick to answer her teacher.
"Gaara, hold him for a little while. He should come to in a few minutes or so. If he has another one of these episodes, one of you guys hold him and whisper soothing words in his ear. They usually last for fifteen minutes or so. Whatever you do, don't move him from the room. And if he hugs you out of the blue, don't push him away. I did the first time and he was stuck like this for a day. He wouldn't talk for three days when he woke up. I'll be going. If I find out any of you hurt him, I will most definitely make you feel pain like you've never felt before. He's fragile, and can break easily, so please be careful with him." The fifteen shinobi nodded in understanding as they looked at the shaking blonde wrapped in Gaara's arms.
Tsunade placed a soft kiss on Naruto's forehead before she left the shop. A minute after she left, Naruto blinked, looking around in confusion before he shook his head. Pulling out of Gaara's embrace, he hopped onto the stool like nothing had happened. Madam Malkin quickly fitted him, a gentle smile on her face when she patted him on the shoulder. "You're all done dear. I should have all of your robes done by noon. Come back then." Naruto grinned and pulled his shirt back on, causing the girls to blush and a few of the boys too as they watched his muscles ripple.
Naruto looked hot in his new outfit. The skin tight shirt showed off his well sculpted muscles and his baggy pants hung low on his slim hips.
Sasuke stared at Naruto's ass, supressing a nose bleed as he watched the blonde move. He forced himself to look at the book cases as an attendant gathered the books they would need. The books were heavy so Naruto offered to carry the girls' and took them even as they protested saying that they could carry them on their own. Naruto ignored their protests and carried eight bags of books with ease. Neji, Lee, Kiba, Chouji, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Sasuke each grabbed a bag from the blonde, refusing to let him carry them. Gaara and Sasuke had grabbed Hermione's and Ginny's bags while the five other boys had grabbed their girlfriends' bags.
Naruto pouted when Haku took his bag. "I'm not a girl, I can carry my own bag." Haku just chuckled. "Fine then, see if I care." Naruto stormed out of the store and then came back looking at Mrs. Weasely sheepishly. "Where do we go next?" Nearly everyone burst into laughter, while Gaara, Neji, Shino, and Sasuke smirked. After all, they didn't laugh, not in public anyway.
Sasuke was very happy when they had finished shopping for everything but their wands. They had just picked up their robes and were now headed for the wand shop. At this point, everyone was carrying at least three bags, although the boys carried the heavier things. Naruto was bubbling with excitement as they entered the wand shop, all twenty-three of them crowding into the tiny shop.
"Ah, some new faces. You are here for your wands I presume. Dumbledore told me that you would be coming today. Alright, who will go first?" Naruto grinned as he pushed Sasuke to the front of the group. "Alright, stick out your wand arm." Sasuke blinked but decided the man meant his dominate hand. He stuck out his hand as a tape measurer began to measure him while the man went to search through rows of thin boxes. "Ah, here we go. Heart-string of a Chinese Fireball, twelve and a half inches long, made from a thousand year old banzai tree. Go ahead, give it a wave now." Feeling like a complete idiot, Sasuke waved the wand.
He was surprised when he heard chirping like that of the Chidori and sparks of electricity shot out of the wand, only to wrap around him before disappearing. "Ah, a perfect match. Next." This time, Naruto pushed Gaara foward. Gaara stuck out his hand as he waited for Ollivander to find a wand for him to try. "How about this? I've had it for a while and its too powerful for most wizards, but I think it will work for you. Eleven inches, made from the wood of an extinct tree that once grew in the desert, sand from a demon racoon for the core." Gaara took the wand and gave it a graceful wave, slightly surprised when a stream of golden sand trailed out, forming a small rose before disappearing. "Oh, another on their first try. Next."
Haku was Naruto's next victim. Sighing, he held up his arm as the man disappeared among the shelves once again. "Try this. Ten and three quarter inches, made from the wood of a tree that only grew in the coldest of places, hair of an ice wolf as its core." Haku flicked the wand, staring wide eyed as large fluffy snowflakes began to fall, disappearing in a cloud of blue dust whenever they touched something. "Wonderful. Next."
This time Naruto pushed Shino foward, his eyes gleaming with mischief. Shino stuck his arm out and was handed a wand almost immediately. "Twelve inches, wood from a willow that was a haven to all sorts of bugs, wings of a flame butterfly for the core. Come now, we don't have all day, give it a wave." Shino flicked it like Haku did and a stream of bright red and orange butterflies flew out of the wand tip. "Ah, truly magnificient. Next please." Kankurou was shoved foward almost immediately.
It was starting to get amusing as Naruto hid behind Mrs. Weasely as if he did nothing at all. "Hmm. You're trickier than the others. Why not? Try this, eight and a half inches with the same wood as the red-head. A mixture of pheonix tears and basalisk venom as the core." Kankurou gave it a sweeping wave and a stream of purple sparks and bubbles flew out of his wand. "Good good. I've never had so many get their wands on their first try. Nex..." Before he could even finish saying the word, Naruto had pushed Neji foward.
It took Ollivander a longer time to find Neji a wand to try. "Okay, this should do. Fourteen inches, wood from the Tree of Fate, and the feather of a rather ill-tempered pheonix as the core." Neji waved the wand, scowling as he did so. Naruto started laughing when he had heard what the wand was made of. He stopped however when a rain cloud appeared above his head and started dumping buckets of ice cold water on him.
"Neji, that was mean." Naruto pouted. "Hmm, not the most spectacular reactions, but it suits you. Next." Pouting still, Naruto shoved Lee foward. Ollivander took one look at Lee's bushy eyebrows and rushed to the back of the shop, coming back with a wand that was tinged somewhat green. "Eight and three quarter inches, wood from a unique green oak tree, petal of a lotus that grew on the back of a giant catepillar for the core."
Naruto had his eyes closed because he was laughing so hard, saving him from the blinding sunset scene that had appeared when Lee waved the wand. It was much like one of the scenes that appeared whenever Lee and Gai were together.
As everyone tried to regain their vision, Naruto shoved Chouji foward. Ollivander knocked down several boxes as he tried to find a certain wand while he was still half-blind. "That was one of the most unique reactions I've ever seen. Now where was it? Ah here it is. Eleven and a half inches, wood from an oak tree, and the hair of a rather big-boned unicorn for the core." Chouji gave it a small wave and nearly dropped it when a large plate of barbabeque pork appeared in front of him.
To his disappointment, it disappeared before he could touch it. Kiba was pushed foward next and Ollivander chuckled when he saw Akamaru. "I've got just the wand for you boy. Ten inches, wood from a dogwood tree, and the fang and fur of a two headed red wolf." Kiba gave the wand a slow wave, the room was filled with howling as a large white moon appeared in front of Kiba. Kiba grinned as he stepped back, staring at his wand with interest. Shikamaru was shoved foward, but he nearly fell over since he was half-asleep. "Troublesome." Naruto grinned as he slowly snuck behind Temari.
Shikamaru waited as Ollivander examined him from head to foot. "Hmm, this should be easier then I thought. Eight inches, cherry wood, horn of a stag for the core. The laziest stag I've ever seen too." Laughter filled the room as Shikamaru gave his wand a lazy flick, large fluffly clouds began to float around the room causing people to laugh even harder. It seemed that the wands fit their personalities in one way or another.
Temari glared daggers at Naruto as he pushed her foward. She stuck out her arm as she tapped her foot impatiently. Ollivander looked at her for a moment then ducked behind a shelf, coming back with a wand in hand. "Same tree as the red-head and the kid with face paint, eleven and a quarter inch, claw of a wind weasel for the core." Temari looked at the wand and then gave it a gently wave like it was a fan. A silver stream of wind wrapped around her, gently ruffling her hair and clothes like they had been caught in a soft breeze.
Hinata stumbled foward as Temari stepped back. "Ah, are you related to..." "Neji's my cousin." Ollivander nodded and produced a wand. "This wand is a cousin to your cousin's wand. Wood from the Tree of Change, twelve inches, the feather of a pheonix for the core. The feather came from the cousin of the feather in Neji's wand. Go ahead give it a wave." Hinata hesitated for a moment before she gave her wand a cautious wave. Glistening water droplets surround her before disappearing with a flutelike note.
Everyone clapped. It had been really beautiful. Ino was shoved foward next, by now everyone knew it was the blonde boy who was doing it, but they didn't have the heart to tell him to stop since he seemed to be having so much fun.
"Ah, here we go. Ten and a quarter inches, oak wood, feather and hair of a flower loving hippogriff. Had absolutely gorgeous blond hair and feathers. Give it a wave." Ino smiled and gave the wand a short wave, her smile growing as the scent of flowers filled the air, shimmering bubbles adding to the fragance whenever they popped. "Only three left, who's next?"
Naruto pushed Tenten foward and then skipped over to stand next to Sakura. "Ah, let's see. Thirteen and a half inches, wood from a rather ancient willow, fang and heartstring of a two-headed Norwegian Ridgeback." Tenten flicked her wand and stifled a small gasp of delight as twin dragons of shimmering red and blue snaked their way around her, not quite touching her. Everyone was disappointed when they disappeared.
Naruto grinned as he pushed Sakura foward. "Your turn Sakura-chan." "Sakura is it. Such a lovely name. Here you go. Twelve and a quarter inches, wood from a thousand year old Sakura tree, with a Sakura blossom and the feather of a pheonix that lived in that tree." Sakura waved her wand and gave a gasp of delight when thousands of pink Sakura petals swirled around her.
Smirking, Sasuke and Gaara snuck up behind the blonde and gave him a push foward. Naruto stumbled than turned around to pout at them. "Ah, I remember you. You wandered into my shop when you were six years old, didn't you?" Naruto turned to grin at Ollivander. "Hai. I was hiding from the old man. He found me when I went to eat some ice cream. I'll make this easy for you. Do you have something that's nine inches long with wood from a fox tree?"
Ollivander gave Naruto a solemn look. "Yes, and it's the only wand I have made with fox wood. Are you sure it'll be a match for you?" Naruto nodded happily as Ollivander handed him a redish wand. Naruto had barely even touched it when red flames shot out of the end and wrapped around him. "I told you so. What's the core?" Ollivander stared at the blonde boy in absolute awe. "A strand of fur from each tail of a nine-tailed fox demon."
Naruto's grin grew even wider as he handed the wand back to Ollivander. "Can you wrap it? I don't want to get in trouble just yet." Ollivander nodded, and wrapped the wand with trembling hands. 'Kit, you do know why you are a match for that wand don't you?' 'Yeah, it's cause you're sealed into me. Right Kyu-chan?' 'No, that isn't the reason. But I guess you'll find out soon enough on your own. Now, have you noticed how Gaara and Haku have been sneaking glances at each other when they think no one's looking?' 'Why do you think I asked for Haku for this mission?' Naruto heard Kyuubi bark with laughter. 'You planned on getting them together didn't you? I don't think you'll have much of a problem there. Just lock them in a closet and they'll be screwing like rabits. Now, what about the other three?' 'Not telling you.' Naruto had expected Kyuubi to argue, but she didn't. He heard her sigh and grumble in the back of his mind, but that was it.
They left the shop, their money bags still considerably full. "Hey, we didn't buy trunks did we?" Mrs. Weasely gave a small gasp. "Oh no. You defenitely need trunks. Let's buy those, then we can explore for the rest of the day. We can leave our things at the Leaky Cauldron until it's time to leave. But first, the trunks." Since sixteen trunks as well as all their other bags were more than they could carry, Naruto suggested putting everything in the trunks and sorting them out later.
So three of them, they stored their books, while in five they stored their robes, potion ingredients went into another four and the last four held everything else they had bought. They carried them into the Leaky Cauldron and Naruto paid for a room to keep them in. He slapped seals onto all of the trunks, the window and the door before they left. He wasn't going to risk someone stealing their stuff.
Naruto was fascinated with Qudditch much to Ron and Harry's delight. Naruto was tempted to buy a broom, but decided not to. He was more interested in buying a pair of bludgers but Gaara had stared him out of that idea. Naruto followed Hermione and had her help in choosing out several books. He was fascinated by several of them and the two of them bought a good fifty books together much to the shop owner's delight. Naruto carried the two heavy bags with ease, smiling as he thought about all the things they would be learning in the next month.
"Come on dears, it's time to go back." Naruto sighed, but followed everyone back to the Leaky Cauldron. Dumbledore greeted them with a smile when they came back. "Now, are you ready for your first lesson in magic?" Naruto had started bouncing off the walls at these words. It took both of Sasuke's and Gaara's death glares to quiet the blonde down long enough for the old wizard to explain everything that they would be doing in the next month.
A/N: That was long. I think most of my chapters will be on the longer side now. This will definietly be a very long story if I continue it. Please review, if I don't get any reviews I'll think that my story is so crappy that I shouldn't continue updating it. Also tell me if I mispell things. I usually proof read it two or three times but I don't always catch the mistakes and neither does spell check.
