Here is something different than I usually do. Here is an alternate universe where Shikamaru and Ino are students at a school like Hogwarts with their other friends. Hope you don't think it's weird at all, it's just a blend of my favorite book series with my favorite manga series.

I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. Nor do I own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does.

Cross-Over

He and his friends were currently attending a school called, Konoha School of Magic and he and his friends were wizards and witches. When school started he believed that it would be so boring, since he already knew most of it anyway what with all the books that his mother and occasionally his father made him read. So he was just sitting at the table of his Charms class watching the other students trying to make a feather float. Ino who was sitting next to him was just about finishing making the feather float. He admitted that the blonde-haired girl was pretty and smart as well. But she can be such a nag that he wondered why they were friends in the first place.

He was just day-dreaming when he heard her scold him, "Shikamaru, you have to participate at least a little bit."

"I don't really care to practice; I know all of this stuff anyway."

Ino looked at him skeptically and then challenged him, "Oh, really? Alright, if you're so clever, just do the spell and see if it floats on your first try."

Shikamaru raised his eyebrow at her and then mumbled, "Fine…"

He held his wand and then was seemingly prepping himself. And then he incanted, "Wingardium Leviosa."

But instead of making the feather float, he was pointing at the desk that there Charms Professor Iruka was standing in front of. The other students were astounded, including Ino who had her mouth hanging open. Iruka noticed the students staring and then looked behind him and nearly backed in shock.

Then he sternly asked, "Alright, who's making the desk float?"

Then he spotted Shikamaru, the only one with his wand pointing at the desk. Then he asked, "Shikamaru, would you please place my desk back down?"

Then he pointed his wand down so the desk floated down gently. And Iruka scolded him, "We're supposed to make feathers float, not desks, Shikamaru. But since this is your first offense, I'll let you off with a warning. And while I should be stricter on it, I'll admit that you had excellent control over lifting a heavy object like my desk. Well done, but next time do the assigned task."

Then he turned back towards the rest of the class and instructed to keep practicing. Shikamaru then turned to Ino who still had her mouth hanging open and then he smirked smugly at her.

Then Ino crossed her arms and pouted, "I meant that you had to make the feather float…"

Shikamaru replied playfully, "No, you said to make 'it' float so I made the desk float. Next time, be more specific."

Ino mumbled, "Show-off…"

Then Shikamaru chuckled and thought, "This will be an interesting seven years…"

Yes, I used the spell from the book, sorry. If some are Harry Potter fans, you may recognize this as a scene from the first movie. You can guess which one. Please feel free to leave a review and let me know what you think.
