"I wish I could tell you but I can't," Kakashi said covering his Sharingan.
"So you know where Naruto is," Sakura asked.
"Is Naruto-Kun alright?"
"Hai, but I can tell you anything else," Kakashi said pulling out his little orange book.
"And why can't you?" Sakura asked getting angry, "Does Tsunade-Sama know where he is?"
"She does and I am guessing Gaara does too and that is why they haven't sent us to look for him before now," Shikamaru said lazily.
"The Naruto you know is gone, and I gave my word that I would tell anyone where or what happened to Naruto."
"Who made you promise this?" Sakura shouted.
"Naruto," Kakashi said simply none of them had expected that Naruto would want to hide from them.
"Why?" Hinata asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
"You will all find out one day."
Naruko woke up, she had the strangest feeling that somewhere someone was talking about her, but then she thought when you are as assume as I am someone will be talking about you. She got up and dress, she decided not to wear wizard robes since it was the weekend and teachers deserved to be comfortable too. She put on a pair of jeans an orange tee shirt with the Uzumaki symbol on the back and a pair of orange and white shoes.
She decided to go to the Gryffindor tryouts, she was the first one there wondering if she had the day right, but she heard people coming down to the pitch in a blink of an eye she was gone off the field into the teachers box where she sat unnoticed.
Harry Ron and Hermione were making their way down to the pitch and talking about Hagrid.
"I hate not talking to Hagrid," Hermione said looking upset.
"We'll go down after Quidditch," Harry assured her, he did miss Hagrid, but not the lovely animals that he would no doubt idly have them watch, "but trails might take all morning, the number of people who have applied." He felt slightly nervous at confronting the first hurdle of his Captaincy. "I dunno why the team's this popular all of a sudden."
"Oh, come on, Harry," Hermione said, suddenly impatient. "It's not Quidditch that's popular, it's you! You've never been more interesting, and frankly, you've never been more fancialbe."
Harry thoughts shifted to a certain very lovely Professor.
"Everyone knows that you've been telling the truth now, don't they? The whole Wizarding world has to admit that you were right about Voldemort being back and that you really have fought him twice in the last two years and escaped both times. And now they're calling you 'the Chosen One'- well, can't you see why people are fascinated by you?" Harry hadn't been able to tell Ron and Hermione that he had been saved by some stranger.
"And with everything that you have been thru you stuck to your story," Hermione continued.
"You can still see where those brains got hold of me in the Ministry," Ron said rolling his sleeves back.
"And it doesn't turn that you have grown about that you've grown about a foot over the summer either," Hermione finished, ignoring Ron.
"I'm tall," Ron said inconsequentially.
"That's nice," Hermione said unimpressed. Ron's head fell as they continued to walk. When they arrived at the Quidditch pitch Harry and Ron felt sick to their stomach. Harry decided to break them up into threes so he could watch them fly. He was right to do this some of them didn't even know how to do this and there were others that weren't even from Gryffindor.
It was finally down to the keepers; Ron was flying against Cormac McLaggen. Cormac saved four out of five flying in the wrong direction. Ron managed to save all five so he was the new Gryffindor Keeper. Cormac was not happy about this but Harry was not going let himself be intimidated. The three friends went to Hagrid's they heard voices inside. One was Hagrid's and the other was Sakura's.
"Hagrid open up, we want to talk to you!" Harry said. There was no sound within. "If you don't open the door, we'll blast it open," Harry said pulling out his wand.
"Harry," Hermione said sounding shocked, "you can't possibly…"
"Yeah I can!" Harry said, "Stand back."
The door burst open as Harry knew it would, and there stood Hagrid, glowering down at him and looking, despite the flowery apron and Professor Namikaze giggling, positively alarming.
"I'm a teacher!" Hagrid roared, "A teacher Potter! How dare yeh threaten ter break down my door!"
"I'm sorry, sir," Harry said emphasizing the last word as he put his wand in his pocket.
Hagrid looked stunned, "Since when have yeh called me 'sir'?"
"Since when have you called me Potter?"
"Oh very clever," Hagrid growled, "Very amusin'. That's me outsmarted, innit? All righ', come in yeh ungrateful little…"
"I should go," Naruko said she turned to Ron before leaving, "congratulations on making the team."
"How did you know?" Ron asked his eyes widen in shock. She just smiled before leaving.
Harry Ron and Hermione stayed at Hagrid's until lunch time came around. During that time they got Hagrid to forgive them for not taking his class. After lunch they went to Professor Namikaze class where interesting story's from all over. The one that everyone seemed to like the most was a legend of a man who brought magic to Japan, and how he had saved the world from a creature of unlimited power.
And after dinner Harry Ron Neville and Hermione decided to tag along went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class room, where they had been told to meet her.
Naruko sat on Snape's desk smiling as they all entered the room a large space had been cleared. "It's good to see you all," she said smiling hoping off the desk.
"Let's start with the beginning to see if we can find out why you can use nonverbal spells," she said, "why are nonverbal spells useful?"
They all turned to Hermione who made no attempt to answer the question, "why are you guys looking at Miss Granger, she won't always be there to give you the answers. There is no right or wrong answer."
"Because your enemy doesn't know what spell you are going to use," Neville said in a soft voice.
"Very good," she said smiling brightly a slight blush crossed his cheeks, "now why would that be useful?"
"Because… it is harder to defend when you don't know what is coming," Harry answered.
"Another good answer," she said still smiling. "So if that is the case why would a Witch or wizard shout what spell they are going to use?"
"Intimidation," Ron said trying to get praised like the others.
"Well…I guess…if is a spell you know that they can't defend there would be no point in trying to hide it," Hermione snickered behind her hand and Ron's head fell slightly.
"Because it takes less concentration to verbal spell than a nonverbal spell," Hermione said after no one else said anything.
"Very good Miss Granger and that is why you are one of my favorite students," she said smiling brightly.
"Who else is among your favorites?" Ron asked sounding hopeful.
"I can tell you to do so would be showing favoritism," she answered.
"But you told Hermione that she is one of your favorites," Ron pointed out.
"Split into groups," Naruko said ignoring the statement. "I want you to work on nonverbal spells with your partner."
Ron and Hermione were one group and Harry and Neville were in another, "Miss Granger I want to go on the offensive," Naruko told her.
"But…I can't do nonverbal and she can," Ron said in protest.
"Well it gives you incentive to learn quickly or you will be in for a long night," Hermione smiled un-Hermione like. It was a very devilish smile, she looked as if Ron had offended her somehow and she was out for pay back.
"No for the challenge," Naruko said with a devilish smile, "I will set it up similar to how one of my examines was set up." Chiles shout up everyone's spines at the sight of the smile.
"If I catch you cheating five times there will be consequence."
"How can we cheat?" Ron asked.
"By saying or mouthing the word, and don't worry no matter how softly you say it or mouth it I will know,"
"But if we get it without using or five freebies…do we get something?" Harry asked.
"Yes the satisfaction that you can use nonverbal spells."
"That's not what I mean… I mean can we ask something from you?"
"Like what?"
"A question," Hermione answered, "if we can do what you ask will you answer a question by each of us?"
"I guess I can do that unless I can't then I hope you can forgive me," Naruko said her smile faltering for just a second. When she told them to begin instantly Ron's cries filled the room as Hermione took pleasure in jinxing him. Everyone was too afraid to try and cheat because of the way Naruko was tapping her wand on her hand.
After an hour they were all able to use nonverbal spells none of them were as good as Hermione, she was nearly as quick at spell casting without words as she was with. But the others were much slower. And they all completed the challenge.
"Is there someone you like?" Ron asked.
"Well…I think so but…I am not sure…" she said trailing off a slight blush crept across her cheeks.
"Does he go to this school?" Ron asked.
"Only one question Mr. Weasley," she said quickly composing herself.
"Why did you help me?" Neville asked.
"Why would you ask something like that do you think you are less valuable than the others?" he didn't say anything but his face said it all.
"Look Mr. Longbottom, you are just as good as anyone else. And I want to see all my students do well, I would do anything for you guys," she said smiling Neville started to blush again.
"The test that you mentioned earlier what was it?" Hermione asked.
"Oh…it was rather nasty thing…you see we were given ten questions or rather nine to start with. We all started with a perfect score and forever question you lost a point. Every time you were caught cheating you lost two so five you fail," Naruko explained.
"That doesn't sound so bad," Hermione said not seeing a need to cheat.
"The questions were made so you wouldn't be able to answer them without cheating, and not just that if you failed two of your friends also failed. Then there was the last question giving you a choice between two impossible choices."
"What were the choices?" Hermione asked sounding completely horrified.
"That is a second question Miss Granger, but I guess I can answer it anyway," Naruko said shrugging, "one was to drop out without getting the tenth question now and retake the test some other time."
"Who would choose that, I mean you have made it so far already?" Hermione said.
"Or get the tenth question but if you get this one wrong no matter what you score on the test you fail and not just that you can never take the test again." Compared to this Hogwarts tests were a walk in the park Harry thought to himself. Then he realized that it was his turn.
"Why do you do what you do?" Harry asked.
"Because I want to make a difference, make the world a better place, I guess would be the simplest answer, "it's getting late, so I guess we will end it here for today."
We have a tight race anyone could take home the prize well anyone but Sakura, poor Sakura.
