Deidei--I'm back and I own nothing but the plot…..and maybe on OC or two that have yet to come in. Read and Review.
The Sorting and an Unexpected Surprise?
When Sasuke and the others walked in, all eyes were on the new "transfer" students. The Great Hall was suddenly quiet as the four shinobi walked up to the teacher's table where Professor McGonagall was waiting with an old looking hat. Professor Dumbledore stood and introduced the transfer students. The first years were waiting patiently and nervously outside in the Entrance Hall. The hat, sitting there on an old stool, waited as Sakura was the first to approach. She set the hat on her head and heard in her ear softly. 'I was told there were new fourth year students this year…I also heard to sort you in Slytherin. You would have made an excellent Ravenclaw, my dear. But I must sort you into………"SLYTHERIN!!"' She got up and moved to the cheering table, and Lee was called up next.
'My dear boy, you would make an excellent Hufflepuff, but you have qualities of both Slytherin and Gryffindor. You wish to prove yourself to this Neji person and the rest of your hidden village. I wish you luck in……"SLYTHERIN!!"' Lee got up and went to sit by Sakura. Sasuke was called next and all the girls in the hall, save Hermione and Ginny, sighed. It seemed his fan club was forming here already.
'Hmmm…you are a difficult one. You deserted your village for power to kill your brother, whom you still hate and have yet to kill. And he is innocent, but you refuse to see it. You would be a wonderful Slytherin, but you must be in "GRYFFINDOR!!"' The Gryffindor table exploded into cheers, mainly from the female population. And just as Sasuke was taking off the hat, it whispered, 'good luck with the blonde boy you so desperately wish for.' Sasuke, unable to comprehend how the hat had known so much, sat beside Harry in a daze. And it was Naruto's turn.
'Hmmm……why can't I read you? You seem to be blocking your thoughts unconsciously.' 'yeah….sorry about that. Kyuu does that to protect me from prying eyes.' 'Kyuu?' 'Yeah, Kyuubi no kitsune. Just sort me into Gryffindor and forget I said anything.' 'oh alright……"GRYFFINDOR!!"'
With that done, the first years came in and got sorted, and the food was served. But about halfway through the meal, Dumbledore left with Professor McGonagall. Not knowing why they left, Sasuke sent out a clone secretly made to follow them. What he saw through the clone's eyes was unbelievable. Before his eyes were two people the report said were dead……Lily and James Potter were alive, and were yelling at Dumbledore for something. Sasuke couldn't hear what, and he made his clone walk out of the shadows.
"What's going on?" "It's nothing, Sasuke-san, just a misunderstanding." "A misunderstanding?! You sent Harry to live with that horrible sister of mine when our will clearly states that if something were to happen to us, SIRIUS would take over guardianship." Lily yelled. James just nodded behind her, clearly feeling the same way. "When I say misunderstanding, I meant to explain in private. Will you all follow me up to my office, and Sasuke-san, can you bring Naruto-san, Sakura-san and Lee-san with you." Sasuke nodded and the clone disappeared. Back in the Great Hall, chaos ensued. Gossip was flying everywhere, but Sasuke and the shinobi transfers were able to escape unnoticed…or s they thought. Harry, Ron, and Hermione saw them sneak out and went to follow, hidden by the Invisibility Cloak Harry had hidden in his robes.
Sasuke immediately said the password "Sugar Quills" when they arrived and all four (seven if you counted the three uninvited ones) entered the office. A few bits and bobs of Dumbledore's possessions were lying about and Dumbledore, smiling knowingly, ushered them in. All five knew the Golden Trio would join them. However, Harry and his parents were in for a big surprise. James threw another priceless piece of equipment at the floor. Here he was, back from the dead and he was being held captive by his deranged Headmaster. He was not a happy camper, as the muggles in America liked to say. But Harry was shocked even more. Harry had all but shouted"YOU!!" as he threw off the Cloak and pointed his wand at his dad. "HOW DARE YOU IMPERSONATE MY DAD!!" James was already frustrated by being kept in the dark, and he shouted back, "IMPERSONATE?! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, A DEATH EATER IN DISGUISE?!" Lily, who was quite calm, cast Silencing Charms on both Harry and James. "Maybe if we listen to Albus, we can figure this mess out." "Indeed. Harry, these are in fact your parents. James, if you will transform into Prongs?" James, dumbfounded on how Albus had found out, turned into the magnificent stag. Harry's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Dad?" the stag nodded and turned back into James with a small poof. "Mum?" He asked turning to face Lily, who nodded. Harry, not caring how childish he may have seemed, ran forward to hug his parents for the first time. Sasuke, still upset over the Uchiha Massacre, turned and left the office. Naruto, seeing Sasuke leave, followed and shut the office door behind him. "Sasuke?" "Yeah?" Is something the matter?" "n-no not really….." "Sasuke……? Is it Itachi?" Sasuke, unable to respond with words, nodded and slid down the wall he was leaning on. "I-I wish…..I wish my mom hadn't been involved….I miss her. Dad was kinda obsessive over Itachi….but Mom always looked out for me. I just wish she were here." "I-I really can't relate, Sasuke, but…..I'm willing to help in any way I can…..if you want." Naruto turned away, blushing. Smiling slightly, Sasuke turned to face Naruto, who had sat beside him. "Do you like me, Naruto?" Sasuke asked suddenly. "Ye-yes I do, Sasuke." "Then I can do this without feeling awkward….." And Sasuke kissed Naruto.
-Headmaster's Office, ten minutes earlier-
Harry hugged his parents for all they were worth and the two remaining Shinobi thought of home. Hermione thought of her parents, who were on holiday in the United States, and Ron thought of his Family's trip to Egypt last year. Harry then let his parents go and asked, "How?" "Well, when Voldemort killed us, I cast a charm that bound us to you. When you met Sirius last year, the spell awoke, and brought James and I back. Luckily, we had been buried with our wands and therefore were able to get out and into fresh air. We then spent some time figuring out what had happened and here we are." Lily explained. "It was an ancient White Magic charm I found at the Potter Library one day. Love is its key component and one has to be willing to sacrifice themselves to save another for the spell to work."
"Oh… "
-Back with Sasuke and Naruto-
The shinobi pair broke apart for air and smiled at each other. "Together?" Naruto asked, standing and holding his hand out for Sasuke to take. "Together, if you'll have me." "Of course, Sasuke. Now we'd better get back in there." "Right." They walked back in, smiling and ready for anything.
Sakura looked over at the door and saw Sasuke, her crush, walking in and holding Naruto's hand. She lost, and she knew it. She'd never be able to get Sasuke to smile at her the way he was smiling at Naruto right now. 'At least Ino didn't win either.' Sakura thought and she smiled at the two happy shinobi, who smiled back, glad she accepted them. She took Lee's hand in her own, and he turned to look at her confused. She smiled and softly said, "Go out with me?" Lee nodded and, in his head, did an awkward little dance. "Of course, Sakura-chan!" Lee looked as if all his dreams had come true. And in a way, they had. But happiness is short lived, as they had a mission to complete.
"You must all be tired so I'll let you all go to your beds now. James, Lily, you may sleep in the Head's room tonight, or in the Teacher's lounge, if you wish." Lily immediately said "teacher's lounge, please" and walked off, James at her side. "Gryffindor password is 'Kitsune' Slytherin password is 'Hebi', can you all remember that?" All of them nodded and walked off, tired of the day's events.
