I do not own Harry Potter or Naruto.

Just so you know the Konoha parts will primarily be Bill and Fleur. Because of previous chapters that you have seen they and Anko provide a vital part to the added Konoha arc I am setting up. Not to mention Sasuke and one other person hee hee

Konoha. 1 week later

In a barbecue restaurant recommended to them, Bill sat Fleur and his new if slightly crazy friend Anko. The woman was in charge of their guards as they had discovered several spies of this Snake who created this curse seal. It did worry him a lot but considering Dumbledore had set the wards on Harry and Naruto's house. It worked out for now. A smile on his lips as he gazes at the young woman beside him, he finds it is returned with an added extra bonus. Kissing him soundly, they pause for just a moment as they notice, the dark eyes looking at them with an impish smile.

"Well now if you to need to be alone, I can go. But then I don't take you guys for the sex in public kind of folks." Gesturing to the others in the small restaurant, both Bill and Fleur blush with a sheepish expression. Amusement in her eyes as their orders come, Anko smiles as she asks a question. "Well now how is the work coming? And before I forget a lot of people told me to say thank you for the goblins." Groaning once more, Bill and Fleur just look at one another and shake their heads. Since the Goblins arrived the shinobi had been really impressed with their protective measures that they had implemented. The clans being allowed the first vaults that have been opened. When the little creatures had offered one to try and break in…

Well they accepted, sending their best and brightest to try, they managed to get in the building under faux pretenses. Afterward they couldn't do it, despite their jutsus and summons, the goblins had not only superior skills. They had an extra bonus.

The dragons…. Nearly roasting them several times and the spells the goblins had to break illusions set up. The small race had justified the fact that the mythical animals existed for real. And that they could detect disguises had turned many a mind among the clans and civilians alike. These goblins as they saw had them well under control and so they started trusting them with their valuables. Nothing from other villages as of yet, Konoha as a whole wanted to keep it that way. The goblins of course balked at this as they do want to expand. But after some tense negotiations with Bill, between them and the council. The little creatures agreed, they would wait and see how they work with Konoha. Then on a recommendation the creatures can see about opening more among the shinobi allies.

"I give up." He chuckled. Anko giving him a smirk as Fleur was hard pressed not to laugh herself. The blonde had made known that she was half-veela to Tsunade lately. Of course this had completely confused the older woman to know end. But with help from books offered by the goblins on creatures outside their realm, the woman had already grown thoughtful. First the dragons in the bank and now a woman who could put men in a trance simply by flaring her veela side and get them to do anything she wanted. That would come in handy with those they have caught thanks to that allure as each time Fleur was in a mood.

Laughing that as the young woman had blushed, she couldn't help but say no. Not only could she not control that real well, but she could also only really sense their location. The fact that they fell under her trance was just a side effect. But perhaps she could see if some of her veela family members would come and aide them. Another thing they had done, that had gotten the older woman singing their praises. She had fixed the paperwork problem as well as a few others.

Explaining the whole thing about house elves for one had appeared later on with a message from her mother. The older woman listening her grin slowly became bigger. Thinking for a little bit on how to word this. She finally snapped her fingers and talked to the blonde upon it. Not only could she have them help with paperwork, considering their lifestyle, the two elves could help other Hokages in the future keep secrets and everything organized.

A smile coming to her lips, Fleur nodded her head and she knew two who would be perfect for the job. So right then and there, she summoned a house elf she knew was free thanks to Harry 3 years before. Having shared with her and the others some stories during the tournament, she also knew of another that would love a job if only to feel useful.

Flashback

"Are you sure they can handle this Fleur." The older woman stated. The witch smiled as she nodded her head. "Phrase your words so that they understand what you seek, they will do just that. They can do just about anything as long as you wish."

"Secrets?"

"They will keep and maintain it. They will even hide from sight unless you tell them otherwise."

"They could never be stolen." The blonde nodded as she seemed almost giddy as ideas ran though her head.

"Correct, it is against a house elf's nature to reveal secrets to or about anything to anyone unless they are told to."

"Good" Tsunade replied alongside Shizune. The young woman curious on how these 'house elves' could help them out. She listened as Fleur cried out two names. "WINKY! DOBBY! Come here please."

Taking a minute or two, both women are startled as two little beings emerged from nowhere. One of them a little wobbly, the other standing there curiously. Both with bug eyes and floppy eyes, they looked around curiously at where they were. "Who calls us?" The one who was seemed stable said with curiosity. The other wondering as well nods in agreement.

"I did Dobby." Fleur stated with a kind smile. "Do you remember me?"

"Dobby remembers Miss Fleur." The elf stated. "What does Miss Fleur wants Dobby and Winky to dos?"

"I want you two to meet someone. She is interested in hiring the two of you."

"Whos that?"

Flashback ends

That was two days ago and both he and Fleur were planning on checking on them later. A smile on their face as they ate, they could just picture in their mind what Tsunade would be doing. She would be probably be just sitting back relaxed or even taking a nap from all they have heard. The couple getting up as they finish, they wave a goodbye to Anko who was already working on ordering another plate of Dango to go with her first one.

Walking toward the tower leisurely, they find themselves being greeted with warm smiles from the villagers. Word having spread of what they had done to help the farmer, they are thanked by many a family. All of which had benefited from their kindness as it had become a bountiful crop, of course afterwards they had been taken to task a little bit by Tsunade. The basic water jutsus (or spells as they knew) were one thing that genins learn under a jounin instructor,

So they had gotten into a discussion for a while until they had gotten into a mutual agreement alongside the goblins who could do much of the same. Unless it involved their residence or place of work, they were to allow the genins to learn from their teachers and to do it themselves. Which as Bill and Fleur had seen over their time here was a good system. When they were in school it was more or less books and they could only practice in school. Couldn't do it at home until it was legal for them, and even for the families with exceptions they had to be watched. Here the jounin trusted their students who passed their tests to become genin. If they failed they were either sent back until they passed. Or they were told to work and see about a job in the village.

Simple but it guaranteed that the ones who passed were the ones who would be beneficial to Konoha and those that failed. Well unless they figured out what they were doing wrong. They would never be shinobi. Never be revered by the ones they protect. And to some clans, much like the pure bloods back in their world, they would not have it.

Maybe this is why, that despite the dangerous situation they were in Bill and Fleur felt like they were at home. This was very much like wizarding society in some regard. A little more restricted in some things, but free to use their magic in ways that could help better. Anyway, now approaching the building, they nod to the shinobi who stand guard. Smiles being offered their way; it is then that they notice the grateful gazes of all of them. Some even getting a break as one taps a shoulder to another who leaps for the roof tops,

Confusion evident now as they hear a slight ruckus approaching the office, a giggling Shizune approaches them. "I must thank you for Dobby and Winky." The brunette replied.

"How so?" Bill asks with confusion.

"Well they have helped tremendously in the paperwork. We did not know that some were duplicates from the same people over and over. It seems they did not want to do the work that came with their jobs. So that has cut down the paperwork somewhat." She replied. Her eyes dancing in amusement as seconds later there was a wail of grief. "But you see Tsunade requested that other then herself, that I be the only one allowed in her office on a routine basis. And when they came to see me, I made a few requests of my own, as I know Tsunade-sama, and her...habits." She grinned as another wail of please came from the room.

Curious to say the least, they smiled as Winky popped in outside the door. Despite being in a sort of recovery, the little elf takes pride in being the Hokage's receptionist. All though not human at all, the elf as well as Dobby were made citizens and sworn to only be in service to the Hokage office. It was Tsunade's decision thanks to Fleur and Bill's explanation, that with the pair sworn only to the Hokage. The elves could not reveal secrets of any kinds unless ordered to by the Hokage.

It was against their nature, to do anything against that which was repugnant to them. So who knows what the two elves know as with the run of the tower, many of the paperwork that other departments that had been waiting for weeks like they normally would.

Found their paperwork in a couple of days, sometimes that very same day! They were surprised!

"Yous can go in, Dobbys making sures Tsunades doesn't drinks her sakes till shes done like Miss Shizune asks Dobby to do!"

A smile once again crossing the brunette's lips as they enter the office. Seeing the desk not piled to the ceiling with paperwork, there was still plenty. But what they were really watching was the elf putting some more paper on her desk. The pile still reasonable, the elf just shakes his head as he is begged….

"Come on Dobby! I am supposed to be the boss, not Shizune! Gimme just one glass full!"

"Nos! You do Hokages work first! When gets half done then Dobby is allowed to do so!"

Seeing how the desk that would normally be thrown is staying put as a frustrated Hokage paces back and forth. They watch as the battle of wills commence between an order minded elf, and a temperamental woman being denied her drink.

"Very good Dobby!" Shizune stated as they entered with a smile. A whirl from the older blonde, she stomps over and glares at her niece of sorts. "You will tell that blasted elf to give me my sake!" The battle of wills commencing the wizard and witch promptly sit in a couple of chairs magicked up by the elf as they watch the entertainment.

Everyone even the guards giving a smile as the two women argue and for the first time, they don't have to worry about furniture bills. The elves were a boon to the tower, but thankfully Tsunade had other ideas when the clans started to clamor for one of their own. Knowing of how some were treated back in their world as explained by Fleur, the blonde had been thoughtful. The only elves in Konoha would be the ones in the tower unless they or any of their kind chose to come. Their efficiency at cleaning and aide in keeping things running for the whole village was much more important than turning them into slaves for lack of a better term. A few had already come. One ironically had taken a shine to Hinata and her sister. So the Hyuuga found themselves with one. Well only the girls did much to Hiashi's annoyance as the elders were pestering him about it.

Another one who loved to garden had stuck by the Yamanakas. Her and her little family of 3 others took care of the plants and the store when they were on missions.

So, if others appear, the first two were to tell them not only the rules of which they were sworn to be upheld in Konoha. But that for the secrets that are kept of where things were tower and clan alike? It would be kept secret between only them and their respective bosses until the next one was to come in. But in the meantime, considering both Winky and Dobby were free and yet sworn only to the office of the Hokage. The elves were slowly becoming the real bosses of Konoha as only they knew where the paperwork for each department went after it was all sorted.

Therefore, waiting as the two shinobi argue over a bottle of sake, the two just watch as do others at what is to them fast becoming an ordinary day.

Sound Village

The words still even now echoing in his mind that his 'sensei' had told him about weeks ago. For the first time in going on 3 years, Sasuke is jealous. He is envious of the blonde (who he hated to admit was still his best friend). Several times the blonde and the toad sage had come close to their hideout over the years. Hell, he could even sense the idiot's presence. He always had to fight the urge to go and see the moron. To see how strong he had gotten, and to see if he was still remembered by him. Being on team 7 as long as he was, he always knew where his teammates and sensei were. You just get that feeling. It wasn't the chakra or their loudness or even their stealth that they could hide from him. He...he just knew.

So, he always told Orichimaru no to going after them. Wasn't worth the effort. Sakura was too weak, Naruto was loud, and Kakashi could but he knows the Copycat could care less. Sure, he trained him and taught him the chidori, (which he improved) for those fateful chuunin exams, but compared to what he could have done for his teammates?

He had seen what one month with the toad sage had done for the blonde.

He had heard what the Hokage had done for the pinkette.

Now from what he was told all three were out of the village alongside Kakashi. To go and see...this Harry. This guy, who was the idiot's cousin through his mother. Feeling that green monster even now rearing its ugly head, he finds that once again he had broken one of the training dummies in his rage. Why! Why that damn dead last blonde! Why him! Why did he get some family back and he… and he didn't get any? Growling his rage, the black-haired youth started a chidori, a sound of familiar birds echoing in the air, he thrusts it to the side and into a wall. Not caring that it could cause a cave in or anything, he simply did it. The explosion that followed, did nothing to ease the anger and the jealousy.

He even knows full well that his teacher was watching and laughing. It was the snake's way to get under his skin. Being replaced with that boy, this Harry Potter would never sit well with him. And this boy, this cousin who has shown up, how close has he become to his childhood friends? How close were they to forgetting him?

Amused by his student's rage, the snake sannin nods to some mild order of this and that. Being one to delegate his paperwork, the man never had any in the volume he had seen as a child. He wasn't a genius for nothing. He made everyone else do it. The only things he did was his lab work.

He let Kabuto handle the day to day. And that was how he liked it. Still though the Snake Sannin found himself growing impatient. Already he can feel the draw on this body as his chakra was eating away at it from the inside. But in the meantime, he finds himself curious about this new development. Having recaptured one of the shinobi he had experimented on prior to his exile from Konoha, the reinforcements albeit rusty were already getting sent on missions.

Simple ones like escorting so that they can build up strength of course. But simple also means bigger targets on their backs. Especially when traveling close to his territory. Killing the man had been easy enough especially as he didn't have to do it. His assistant wanted the honors as there was an apparent grudge he had against this person. Mattered not, it was done, and he still got a chance to look at the man's blood anyway. Investigating it in his labs, Orichimaru found himself puzzled. The blood was fine… no trace of his little source's blood. Nothing, it was gone. These people had neutralized his seal. And he knew for a fact, due to Kabuto's spy network, that other villages were starting to get wind of this and were investigating as well.

Thinking about this and other things, he raises an eyebrow as his assistant approaches. Words being whispered in his ear he is curious to this new information, one that makes him highly intrigued by the possibility.

Following the other man with two of his sound shinobi behind him, he heads down to his prisons among other things. Being as curious as he was while he investigated the catacombs of Konoha, he had found many curious items, among them an arch of sorts with what could only be a gray mist going to and from. Not sure what it was bit curious as one of the children he had taken many years ago had fallen through, (Ironically it was the Kyuubi brat's aunt, he realizes later) Thinking said child was dead in one of his meandering walks, it was a surprise as a few months ago, a man fell out. Long dark hair and dark eyes, he was ready to fight back, but a genjutsu put him right out. Having been meant to get around to interrogating him, he had found that the other man had not known one word of what he was saying.

So, he just shoved the man in one of his prison cells and figured he could use him later in one of his experiments.

It was by pure circumstance that Kabuto had apparently been walking by on his way to get someone for his latest attempt to get into Konoha again, when he heard the man mutter in his sleep. Muttering one name…. that just made the man worthwhile.

Harry...
