I do not own Harry Potter or Naruto.

Following Day, The Burrow

Flying idly in the makeshift quidditch pitch behind his house, Ron admittedly finds himself missing his best friend. With everything that had happened to Harry, he had hoped he would be able to come and stay with him and his. Just with Hermione coming though, and his brother Bill staying for a bit to work on artifacts in the vaults of Gringotts. The twins were still staying in the house, their joke shop opening in 2 months. Fred and George were saving all the money they could on construction and also hiring some of their classmates like Lee Jordan to work for them. Giving a little sigh as neither one will let him help where he could. Some brothers they were. he mutters.

It sucked.

Minutes later, he found himself startled and almost falling off his broom, as Fawkes popped in front of him. Catching himself with his reflexes, the phoenix, let out a sound of humor as the red head glared at him for scaring the daylights out of him. The teen found himself confused though, as it held something in its claws towards him. It appeared to be a letter of some kind.

"Blimey…. for me?"

Giving a song of affirmative, Ron nods his head. He flies towards a table as the bird who hovered near him to land. With relative ease, the phoenix waits for the teenager to be on the ground before dropping the letter in front of him. Dropping it once done the fiery bird than proceeded to perch on a tree as it preens itself. Pig and Errol who joined it, the three started a conversation of sorts as Ron begins to read.

Ron,

Hey, it's me Harry. I would tell you more at the moment, but everybody here is waiting on me to go train. I think you and Hermione both would love it here so much we can do here. Naruto and his friends when not busy are fun to hang out with. I mean some of the stuff they do here magic wise is cool. They can all do things you have seen thanks to Kakashi-sensei (It's what they call Professor's here.) and then some.

Right now, they have me learning survival tactics as well as some weapon training. Naruto with the help of Jiraiya showed me some old videos, (moving images like pictures) of the Chuunin exams recently. I understand the training now and believe me when I say if Voldemort was to hire some of these guys. We would all be dead. I still don't see how that is going to work at school. But TenTen has told me she would explain once she sees me with the wand tomorrow. (She has to do some paperwork for a mission she had to do. So, it just Jiraiya and Kakashi today.)

But before I get sidetracked as I have to go meet Naruto soon. The headmaster asked me if you could see if your brother Bill would come out here. According to him, there is an issue here that he may be able to solve. Tsunade, who is like Professor Dumbledore here, says he can come, and he will get paid if he can figure out to break this curse, they have problems with.

Anyway, Fawkes is supposed to wait for an answer from Bill. Will you and Hermione write me some letters and oh yeah. Naruto wants to see some of Fred and George's stuff. (Tell them to load him up.) I am also giving you a letter for Remus. Kiba after I told him about him, said his mother and clan might be able to help him out in controlling Moony better, so tell him he needs to go with Bill.

Well, I have to go Ron. Hope to hear back soon!

Harry

A smile on his features as he knows his friend is all right. He sets about finding his brother and to let his family and Hermione know that he heard from Harry.

2 days later

Collapsing into a chair exhausted, Harry can couldn't help himself. A smile on his lips, he admits he enjoys the fast healing as one of his newfound friends, Sakura, fusses over him. Berating him for exhaustion and the cuts and bruises from the dogs. The pink haired girl was ready to go ballistic. But she knew why he had to go through this and said nothing. Although she really wanted to. Curious as she had heard from some of the other shinobi about her teammate's cousin. She as well as a few others had popped over to their house one day as they were leaving.

Flashback…

Having rested in the bath houses before to ease his pains, he found himself laughing as once again a crowd of women chased after Jiraiya. The man glaring at Naruto who was laughing so hard he was bent over. "Serves you right, can't blame me for this one!"

"Does he do this all the time?"

Nodding his head with tears in his eyes from laughing. "Why do you think I call him the Pervy Sage? Every town he goes to if it has a bath house he peeps. It is what he calls his inspiration for his 'books'."

Reading a little, the dark-haired teenager found himself just shaking his head and closing it. Having seen Kakashi reading it plenty a time, the wizard found himself wondering if the man was seriously a shinobi. He knows if any of his female friends were to find out what they were, his new teacher or sensei as he prefers, he would be hexed into oblivion. Especially by Hermione…. Chuckling himself as he remembers some of her less than finer moments. Thinking of his friends as he walks alongside his cousin, as they head out of the bath. He finds himself surrounded shortly by a bunch of teenagers around his own age. All of them talking animatedly with his cousin, it takes a moment for them to notice him.

"Hey Naruto! Who's this?" Asked a boisterous boy. Red markings down his face and beside him an extremely large dog, (reminded him of fluffy). A mixture of boys and girls pause as, all of them took a look with open curiosity. The fact that they had no clue who he was. This was something that he finds himself appreciating to no end. Before meeting new people, they always made a big deal of his name and what he had supposedly done. The fact they didn't made him feel relief. To them he will be just Harry.

"This is my cousin guys."

Confusion evident on their faces, Naruto goes into a short version of what had happened. Keeping the secret of course concerning the identity of his father. They learned of their mothers and the relationship for the two boys. All of a sudden, the two find themselves under a whole new interrogation for lack of a better term as they quiz him on everything about Hogwarts and his friends there. Some of the girls noticing his bright green eyes, much like Naruto's blue, they were full of life. One girl though noticed something though...and it made her sad. Because much like her crush she saw the pain as well.

Answering what he could he found TenTen coming to give him a chance to breathe, gave him a friendly smile as she yelled.

"HEY, GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO BREATHE GUYS!"

Hitting them all upside the head with a staff that comes out of nowhere. A lot of sheepish looks emerged as they took a step back to allow him and Naruto some space. "Well Harry let me take care of some of the introductions." She started as she gestured to the boys beside her. One with long hair and light lavender eyes, that his cousin explained were a genetic trait of sorts, he learned was Neji. And the guy with the green and the weirdest look he had ever seen was Lee. Who Naruto would tell him later on to never let him drink anything remotely alcoholic. Seems Lee, like Drunken Master with Jackie Chan, was such a person.

"Our turn now!" The loud boy from earlier shouts. "I'm Kiba and this is Akamaru." Gesturing to his dog that gives a woof of hello by the sounds of it, he learns that Hinata was the girl with the same eyes as Neji. (He later learned they were cousins,) And that the guy in the shades and heavy trench coat was Shino.

All of them introducing themselves a boy with his hair pulled back speaks up, "Troublesome. I'm Shikamaru, That's Ino and Chouji over there." He gestures as he sees a blonde girl and a boy that reminds him of Dudley, except for the friendly smile. .

"And I am Sakura." States a pink haired girl beside his cousin. "Me and Naruto-kun are teammates here in Konoha."

"Teammates? Like in games?"

Flashback ends.

Sakura explaining their schooling and team system better than anyone had, all of them had insisted on taking him and Naruto out for dinner, The teenagers finding themselves learning of Harry and where he comes from. The wizard was happy to show some of his spells. Floating the table up outside or freezing one of them in a body bind. Needless to say, they all wanted to come over from time to time or hangout. Making sure they knew the address as he had taken a shine to his cousin's friends. The only one that had been able to at the moment though was the pink haired med nin who came to hang out. Promising a homecoming party at a point later in the future he, Sakura and Naruto had left for his new home.

And here he was...stiff...sore and feeling like he cannot move an inch; the bath had helped. But Kiba and Naruto tackled him in an impromptu wrestling match. "It was the best time he ever had. "There you go Harry-kun" A smile on her features he was extremely relieved as Sakura was working on him, much to Naruto's chagrin as she yelled at him to go easy next time. The pain was still there but some of the knots in his back and other parts of his body was reduced. It was easier to move parts of him compared to earlier.

"Thank you, Sakura."

A pleased look in her eyes, she smiles as at this time Albus comes in. Giving a twinkle, the pinkette looks at him with confusion.

"Sakura, this is my Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. You could say he is like Tsunade where I come from."

Smiling brightly, she bounded over to bow respectfully. Her green eyes as bright as his, he admits he wonders if somewhere down the line if he, Naruto, and her could be related as well. Making a mental note to check his family tree once more someday soon. It is then that they are startled as Fawkes returns with a bag of items in hand.

Flying over to a recently made perch, that was commissioned for not only Hedwig, but the phoenix as well. The fiery bird placed it on the chair nearby before landing upon the wood and stone configurations. Considering where he was, Harry was hoping somehow there was another one in his future so that he would be able to communicate with friends and family easier. Never one to chase a magical creature away if he can help it. He finds the bird, who has saved him back in the chamber, beautiful as does many.

Still, even if one chose to stay with him, he would never leave Hedwig. She was and still is his foremost friend. Reaching over and taking the bag, Naruto who had been sparring with his friends, had just returned, Tired and exhausted he as lit up as he saw the bag.

"What's in there?"

"I believe it is letters from home." Albus replied as Severus comes into the room as well. His bags packed as he was going back shortly. Considering what he does for the order, it was felt best that he would return to 'check in' with the Dark Lord. At the same time, if Bill Weasley had agreed to come, he would help the man gather anything he needed for his stay. Knowing the other letter must be from Remus, he was glad. Having met the Inuzuka head, he agreed with her as she explained what she was going to do. A smile as it might mean a good DADA again.

"Oh?"

Curious to say the least, Harry finds himself looking through the pile alongside his cousin and friend. The three of them chatting with one another as they look through the items sent as well, with occasional yelp or sound of disgust from surprising candy,

It was Harry who found the one addressed to the headmaster. Having already gathered and read those from, Ron, Hermione and other friends. Having handed it over, he promptly turned around and laughed as Naruto tried to catch a chocolate frog that escaped. The present from the twins beside him filled with items that Harry explained to him what they were. An evil grin crossing his cousin's face, Sakura groaned. The girl just shakes her head. "Harry?"

"Yeah?" The other letter in his own hand. He looks to her, "you better tell them to never come here, these Twins."

"Why?"

"Just trust me." The pinkette say tiredly. "ANBU is going to have a fit." Confused to say the least, he lets the two other teens rummage through the bag, as he reads the letter Remus sent him.

Harry,

I am glad to have heard from you. I admit it was rough these last few days. Moony is still doing good but without the others, he is getting out of control. I doubt she can do anything but if it allows me to see you and meet your cousin. I can and will come all right.

Remus

PS. Padfoot left some items for you to have. I will bring them with me.

A small smile at the werewolf's words, Harry has a happy moment before he turns back to find his cousin turning into a big yellow bird.

8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8

Watching and smiling at the sound of laughter, Albus found himself feeling the ease of much worry as Harry had not only made himself at home. He would have a place to stay for good if he chose to. Having been out to the council meeting as requested by Tsunade. He was pleased as after the questions displayed to him left and right that Harry would now be free to go about the village. Of course, he understood that Naruto had helped before with some situations that got out of hand. His work made a lot of them happy. Hearing of the charms on the house, some of them had even asked to secure their homes as well. This was something that would perhaps make this Konoha a place where people in the wizarding world can be safe.

Now with the letter from the elder Weasley brother in hand, he began to read.

Headmaster

Ron has told me that you wished for me to come out there to this Konoha. I can but I have to be able to bring my girlfriend Fleur with me. I believe you remember her from the Tri-Wizard tournament about two years ago. Reason being she is also my trainee and with this trip, my boss Griphook has decided that this was a perfect way to not only to see what is happening. The possibility of expanding their operations, and if they are able to it would help me greatly in accessing the books i may need.

I will be awaiting your response.

Bill Weasley

Reaching for some paper that Harry had been given to use for his summer homework, he quickly penned a letter as he gestured to Severus. The man already having packed his bags for the return. It was felt it would be best as he was essentially being told it was time to return by the mark on his arm. Knowing it meant in the location of where Harry was, it was good that the only ones who could travel that far were phoenixes such as Fawkes.

Being that you could use a port key to go from point A to Point B, it would not work in this case for the reason that the shinobi villages were essentially hidden better than most wizards. Using the land and special jutsus that he has yet to understand. Many a wizard save for a select few thought they were all lost. Not even the goblins had a branch out here in the towns. So, it would be hard for one to be used by any of Voldemort's minions. Having some parchment on hand, he writes a brief message first to Mr. Weasley to be taken by Severus and Fawkes. This included the instruction to bring Remus along as well.

The next a message for Tsunade, which Hedwig was happy to oblige. The snowy owl had become quite popular in Konoha. Being the colors that she was, the owl was doted upon not only by her Masters, who to her were her chicks. But she got the best treats from the blonde lady and her apprentice, and a wonderful perch from the girl with the buns. The owl was spoiled beyond belief as even villagers would be kind and throw the occasional treat towards her. (Apparently, she was considered a good luck charm.)

Both written, he handed it over to Severus. The potions professor nodding his head, he gave one last sneer to the teens. Two of which were like what the hell and the other just shrugging it off, before he disappeared. Now free to do so, he approached the trio who were figuring out the Bertie Botts Jellybeans, with laughter in their eyes as Naruto frowned and spit one out.

"Harry, Naruto, would you to mind if Bill and Fleur came and stayed here? Tsunade requests his presence." The old wizard asked.

"I don't mind headmaster as long as Remus can come to." Looking to the boys who looked at one another, a question mark on Naruto's face as he and Sakura asks a mutual question.

"Really?"

"Who is this Bill character?" Naruto quizzes.

"What does he do?"

Fielding even more questions for moment, Albus chuckles as he holds his hands in sign of give him a moment. Thinking of how to say it he is stopped as Harry speaks up.

"He's my friend Ron's older brother. Works for Gringotts as a curse-breaker." The dark-haired teen replied to his cousin and his friend nonchalantly, before he could stop him. Albus watches as he is startled as both teenagers drop what is in their hands. Both looking at each other with shock, they can't help but ask as if they wanted to know…

"Are you sure Harry?" Naruto questioned calmly. Curiosity of not only himself but his student at the hopeful gaze in both. A confused teen wizard answers, "Sure of what?

Albus feels himself starting to smile as that request he made is connected to Naruto and his friends.

"Whether this Bill guy is a curse-breaker?" Sakura asked slowly.

Watching as Harry nods his head and responds, the two teens tackle his student seconds later at his response. "Of course, I'm sure Ron has told me hundreds of times." The wizard teen stated confusedly. "I mean I have never really seen him do it, but yes."

Tackled to the ground, when they finally release, Albus and Harry are both confused as Naruto and Sakura whisper a single name.

"Sasuke"

Sound village

Watching his new student train with the Kusanagi sword that he had given him to use. Orichimaru found himself all of a sudden wary and alert. Having changed many bodies to learn their skills. The Snake Sannin found himself with a little precognition ability similar to the Sharingan. Not as strong in him as it was when he inhabited the body, the residual effects told him something was happening that can destroy all that he is accomplished.

Feeling the senses, he already knows it has something to do with Konoha. His former home had interfered with him constantly before. It wouldn't surprise him even now.

"Kabuto."

The grey haired nin with the glasses beside him, he simply nodded his head in acquiescence. "Yes?"

"Do let our spies in the Leaf to be on the lookout for something new. I have a feeling we might need to destroy it."
