I own nothing, but my imagination. Summary is in previous chapters and you can find it under the title of this story! Also, the pairing is/are still in choosing, but for right now Haku is with Zabuza. Chapter 21-that was the last chapter that we will see what Sasuke was up to and will be a good while before Haku sees him again.

LAST TIME: The Holidays came and went. Many, received gift even the potion master Severus Snape. Unfortunately, his small precious moments of the gifts, Severus was called by Dumbledore and ordered to teach Harry Potter oclumency. Now, what will happen?

Sorry, guys for the long wait, but I did keep my promise (even though it's like months overdue): D Also, since this have a date in it on a valentine day, happy belated Valentine's day people! Also, happy Mardi gras! One more apology, I know too much right? This chapter will be the shortest one for this series. Hopefully, I will get back in the game soon.

Chapter Twenty –Three!


It was bright out, even with the Christmas and New Year weather. However, Harry stretched and waited for the classes to start.

"Harry," Hermione suddenly hissed in his ear. "Harry," she hissed again and slammed a newspaper article in front of him.

Harry on first want to interested, but then his eyes widen. That must be a joke!

Bellatrix Lestrange escaped.

Whistle. "I thought that prison was impenetrable," Zabuza said with some amusement. "Guess it isn't so impenetrable now."

"That is not important, Harry-kun," Haku said softly. She pointed to a bottom article, "your giant friend, Hagrid –san…"

"On probation," Harry breathed out. Could today get any worse? Yes, it could, but it didn't.

This weekend was Hogsmeade weekend.

That's right the weekend, Harry has been waiting for. Why? He was going on a date with Cho Chang.

"Some one seems excited." Harry turned around and sighed. It was Haku smiling at him, eyes glittering.

"Tsk, excited. He should be; he might get laid." Zabuza commented airily as he leaned against the wall near, behind Haku.

Harry blushed scarlet. "It's not like that!"

Zabuza chuckled in amusement.

"Come now, Zabuza don't tease him too much." Haku said just as airily as he just did; clearly finding Harry's situation amusing.

"Haku! Who side are you on!?"

Harry shouted embarrassed and other emotions. He couldn't believe his sister. How could she be on his side and then on Zabuza's the next?

If the classes couldn't ruin his day than Occlumency lessons could.

"Once more, Potter!" Snape exclaimed in his usual sourly tone. Harry panted and slowly raised himself up, however, Snape did not wait for him to recover from the previous occlumens lesson; "Legilimens."

Harry failed to keep Snape away from his mind once again and Snape sneered; "Potter you are completely useless. A waste to my lessons! Next Wednesday, Potter!"

"But, professor, I have-

Harry was ignored and swatted aside like a fly; "Too your dorm, Potter!"

A soft chuckle followed by an amused, humorless laugh. "You were quite hard on the brat," Zabuza says through his laughter.

Snape snorted. "I doubt it. Not, that I don't enjoy both of your companies, what brings you here tonight?"

Zabuza rolled his eyes. "When did we ever come with a reason?"

Haku smiled as she tried to hide her amusement, but was failing. "Yes, when?"

Snape chuckled humorlessly not amused by the shinobi antics.

That night the two shinobi left while Hogwarts students and staff was asleep. Placing on their mask they disappeared through the night.

"My, lord," Bellatrix bowed, gleefully smiling. "We have escaped and are ready to receive your orders!"

However, before Voldemort could speak to the fanatic he spotted Haku and her companion who just popped in. "What do you bring me, girl?"

Haku answered without breaking a sweat. "I have gathered info on the perfect time to attack my brother, Voldemort-san."

Unacceptable! Bellatrix raged. "She lies! I have only been into Azkaban for a short while, but she lies my lord!"

"Silence," Voldemort hissed, commanded.

Bellatrix glared heatedly.

"When do we attack, girl?"

Haku answered just as she did moments ago. "My brother goes on date and will be out the castle on the day of the 14th."

Voldemort seemed to think, flittering with the words, then smiles with pleasure. "We shall attack on the day, Potter is out. Every witch and wizard shall know I have returned!"

Many cheered and Haku and Zabuza took their leave.

Harry woke wondering just why in his dream Voldemort was so happy, however, when he went to the Great Hall more bad news came. Umbridge has made a new degree: Teacher's weren't allowed to talk to students about anything, not unless it was subject related.

"That... that's," Hermione was speechless unable to utter anything else with a coherent thought.

Haku and Zabuza were not present.

"She mad!" Ron blurted out, Harry and Hermione mutely nodding. Umbridge wasn't mad she was insane.


The weekend finally came Harry was so nervous he was tripping on his own two feet. Haku caught him stopping his fall stating he should be careful and not so nervous.

Harry sighed, "Easy for you to say."

He meets up with Cho at a little shop and ordered a coffee. The date quickly turned sour and Harry dropped his head with a small clang.

What a disaster, he thought miserably. There was no way Cho was going to go on a date with him ever again. "I screwed up," Harry mutter, lowing himself farther, wishing he could just disappear.

"That was pretty tactless," Haku soft voice reached Harry's ears. Harry looked up to see Haku and Zabuza casually sitting across from him as if they always came to the little café shop.

"Yeah, I know," Harry said bitterly.

Zabuza tsked; "sure you do."

Harry looked away only to glare at something, but the small little clock struck an hour and he jolted up. "I'm going to be late! I have to meet Hermione."

Zabuza rolled his eyes with a shake of his head muttering. Haku smiled slightly amused by Zabuza's actions, but it was not time to dally as they had a job to do-well, partially anyways.

They left the little café shop as if they never entered; making clones; dressed already prepared and in the mask, waited for the signal.

Cho was confining with her friends.

"Excuse me," Cho and her friends turn to see a green-eyed teen their age. "I am Haku, Haku's clone said politely. Harry's sister."

Zabuza's clone waited just like any date would for their girlfriend to return from the girls room.

"Let's go, Cho, you don't need to talk to that loser, Potter sister!" Cho's friend, Melissa said.

"You, guys," Cho started softly, "Go ahead. I think I should speak with, Haku alone."

Haku bowed. "Please look aside my brother's foolishness, Chang-san and give him another chance."

Cho contempt the thought carefully. "I- I'm not sure if I should, Haku. I, bites her lip. "You understand don't you?"

Haku understood fully, why if that happened to Zabuza and suddenly, Sasuke- shakes her head rapidly to get rid of the alluding thoughts, Haku spoke. "I understand, just if you change your mind ,please don't tell my brother I asked if you can."

Cho nods with a tiny smile, at least one person understood her. "I will, I must, go." She leaves the girl's bathroom before Haku does.

Haku clone exists the bathroom rejoining Zabuza. "The boy went to join the girl. let's go."

Haku nods, interlacing her arm in Zabuza's.

Harry met up with Hermione who was waiting with two very unlikely guests,the two clones headed to where Harry was currently, though sitting in another boot listening.

"It's," Hermione was doing the talking. "Simple, you wont get noticed and no one will find out, all you have to do is write an honest story containing, Harry."

Rita looked ready to snap, but conceded. "Alright, I want to get paid and get my story, fine."

Blackmail at its finest, Haku thought highly amused.

However, while this was going on, the two shinobi were in position...

"Death-Eaters!"

"Death-Eaters! The Dark Lord has returned!"


CUT! I know, probably a bunch of crap, but this chapter was frustratingly hard to write.
