"We were lucky," Harry mentions when he still hears the big dog barking, Ron agrees.

-Lucky? Don't you know what they are? -Naruto saw how the plant moved like snakes and felt that in the future that animal was going to be one of the ones he hated the most -they are the devil's snares! -Hermione managed to free herself from it, looking at the others that she was being swallowed, Naruto was trying to think of something, but the feeling of being trapped was drowning her.

-Do something Hermione! -Ron shouts and the girl tells him to shut up.

-Let me think about what the plant is doing -Naruto panicked and couldn't stay still, shaking herself to try to free herself, Harry was the closest and stopped her.

-I don't like being trapped either and I hate narrow places, but calm down and trust Hermione -Naruto took a deep breath, avoiding being swallowed even more by that plant.

-Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare... What did Professor Sprout say?... He likes darkness and humidity... -Naruto immediately thought of one of his rivals and his Jutsu.

-Fire! Hermione lights a flame! -Naruto exclaims feeling how the plant was reaching his neck, swallowing heavily.

"That's a good idea, but I-I don't have the wood," Ron groaned at that response.

-Hermione! Have you gone crazy? Aren't you a witch?! -Ron screams more desperate and angry with the only one free.

"Oh, right," she pulls out her wand and mutters something before the plants are removed from the fire, Naruto takes a deep breath as she is released.

"I don't have the wood," Ron repeats, sighing, "it's lucky that Harry was calm and that Naruto suggested the idea because what you said sincerely...

As the boys walked side by side, Naruto in the middle of Ron and Harry, Hermione on the other side.

-Do you hear that? -Naruto says as he hears thousands of bugs swirling or flying freely.

-w-what thing? -Ron asks nervously, he knew how keen his friend's senses were.

-buzzing -Harry continues having gotten close enough to hear it too.

Seeing so many keys flying and seeing the broom made the boys quickly realize what they had to do - we have to fly and get the key to this door - Naruto and Harry said in unison, looking at each other, before Naruto gave him a confident smile.

Before she would want to do it... she would want to do it all alone, but - you can do it Harry - the boy nods and rises on the broom.

Naruto with his skilled eyesight kept Harry informed of where the key was - you're close, a little to the left and, no! Behind you! Now! -The boy turned around and saw the oldest key and accelerated to reach it, taking it in his hands, but almost crashing into a wall in front of him -You did it! -Naruto cheers as the boy lands, smiling at the boys with the key in hand.

-ready? -Harry asks and the others nod, the key turns with a sharp click and opens revealing the next room.

-magic chess! -Naruto exclaims and Ron agrees with him when he sees the giant board.

-and now that? -Harry asks.

-I think it's clear -Ron says looking at one of his specialties -we have to play to cross the room -Ron thinks about how they could win -no offense, but neither of them are very good at chess -Naruto laughs, the last time his king ran away her.

"Okay, just tell us what we have to do," Harry says looking at the pieces.

-Well, Harry, put yourself in the place of the bishop, Hermione, you put yourself in the rook and Naruto -Naruto waited impatiently for his turn -you are the king -Naruto seemed happy with that, while on the other hand Hermione and Harry knew why Ron had left Naruto as the king, she was too impulsive and something bad could happen because of that, this was Ron's way of showing affection to Naruto, he always did it this way, without Naruto realizing that she was being protected and Ron did not plan to lose -I will be a horse –

Ron began to direct the black pieces and in a short time Naruto realized that as king she would not move, but that time Naruto saw Ron with admiration, the boy prevented the pieces from destroying Hermione and Harry's pieces, he even For a second she could see Shikamaru, the boy that when she was younger she saw playing in the park with a board, claiming that her mother had forced her to get fresh air.

And then it came, if Ron let them finish his piece the game was over and they would win - no! -the three children screamed.

-This is chess, sacrifices need to be made - those words Naruto had already heard so many times before, the Hokage did that, he was the player who led his pieces in the game, choosing the pieces that would fulfill the mission and at that moment Naruto decided that She wouldn't choose that, she would choose the ones who can return - if they don't hurry, that person will steal the stone - at that moment Naruto realized that Ron had listened to her, unlike his stubborn friend Harry.

Hearing the stone hit Ron's head was not something Naruto wanted to hear again -Ron! -Naruto screamed in horror before the door opened before them.

Behind the door there was a table, on top of it there were different jars and instantly Naruto knew who this test was from...

Naruto wasn't very good with logic, Shikamaru was and apparently Hermione too, they had the answer, the problem was that there was only one - you two, go back for Ron and use the broom so that Fluffy doesn't see you, send Hedwig to - Naruto didn't let him finish.

-No, no, no, I'm not going to leave you alone -Harry looked at his friend seeing how she pursed her lips and frowned -there must be another way -the boy who lived gave Naruto a smile.

-I'm afraid Naruto -Harry says without waiting for Naruto to back away -but I need you to go with Hermione, I 've seen you train hard with the broom, I'm sure you'll make the team and I'm just as sure you can guide Hermione to a safe exit -Naruto pouts at the end.

- I hate you - Naruto doesn't mean it, but the boy knew where to aim with it and Harry lets out a laugh.

-I love you too -Hermione looked uncertainly at Harry who gave her a smile and pointed to the door where Ron was still standing.

Patience

A virtue that Naruto didn't have, taking Ron to the infirmary, being scolded by McGonagall and waiting to find out more was something that was killing her.

It got to the point where Naruto was tapping his foot against the floor in the infirmary next to Ron, Hermione had asked him if he wanted to eat something, but Naruto refused to leave his freckled friend's side, both Percy and the twins had moved on. look at how his brother was doing and when his concern for his brother faded when he saw him well, the concern shifted to the girl who was sitting next to the bed.

And when Harry arrived unconscious, Naruto did not leave until Professor McGonagall told him that he had to go eat and sleep in a comfortable place, although that did not prevent her from returning after resting a little.

Three days later Harry finally woke up-

Naruto was sleeping on a bench next to the bed, resting his head against his arms on the mattress. Dumbledore brushed a blonde lock from her face, noticing that it was becoming fluffier, softer and longer. The girl frowned before return to sleep.

-Hello Harry -the boy looked in confusion, his vision was still blurry but then he sat down -shhh -Dumbledore pointed to Naruto who was breathing softly.

"Mr. the stone," Dumbledore denied before Harry could continue.

-Quirrell doesn't have the stone... -Dumbledore told Harry about what had happened, the gifts his friends had sent him and... Naruto who was always by his side.

It was then that Naruto woke up, blinking a couple of times and rubbing his eye, yawning - good... morning? -Harry says hesitantly, not knowing the time, Naruto looked so surprised and before Harry could know it, Naruto had climbed onto the bed and hugged him tightly.

-Harry! -she exclaims -oh, friend, you didn't know how long I've been waiting -the tone was soft, as if she herself hadn't thought that this was real...

-How come the nurse let you stay here all the time? -Harry asks while eating the candy that the girl and the girl gave him, Naruto lets out a nervous laugh.

-let's just say that I get along very well with her ttebayo -Naruto could sigh saying "Aah so many memories" that Naruto improving with the broom meant many, many horrible falls against the ground, cuts with shuriken that Professor McGonagall would send her to the infirmary, Yes, so many beautiful memories –

-Harry! -Ron and Hermione screamed in unison when they saw him, Ron had left the infirmary after a day and a half -

-Dumbledore Ojii chan is a strange old man -Naruto mentions in the fifteen minutes that the nurse allowed Ron and Hermione to stay.

-You are also unique Naruto -Naruto stuck out his tongue at Harry who just laughed and stuck out his own in retaliation. Ron was confused by the pronoun, Hermione just laughed at the interaction they both had.

-Ravenclaw beat us! -Ron exclaims and then sighs -and the house points have already been counted, Slytherin won -Hermione at that point also sighed.

Oh, that's why when Naruto met Draco back at the infirmary he looked haughtier than usual.

-Dumbledore Ojii chan! -Naruto ran when he saw the director, who stopped before the girl -I have something to ask you… -

Naruto was happy to be able to sit next to Harry in the great hall and wearing a hat that he found so funny.

-Did you tell something to... Hokage? -Hermione asks and Naruto denies.

-Dumbledore Ojii chan said not to tell him anything, that this was a wizard thing so I didn't -Naruto started eating the delicious food.

-attention please! -Dumbledore called the attention of everyone in the room, making everyone stop their light diatribe -another year has passed and we said goodbye in the best way -then the votes were counted again, Griffindor had been the worst house and that was partly It had been her fault -but before they celebrate some events, points must be added to those people -surprised Naruto looks at Harry smiling at him -first Naruto Uzumaki -she moved her head around him as if she were looking for another Naruto but the director was looking at her directly at her, Naruto stood up - you are one of the most beloved people among the houses and you do not define a person by where they are, but by how they are, you are strong and loyal to the point that you should be rewarded for it, fifty-five. five points for Griffindor -the words made Naruto cringe, his face was painted red and his ears when not only Griffindor applauded.

The twins exclaimed "Whiskers!" making Naruto remember the day she was selected at the same time they called her a tomato when she saw her blushing making her lower her head with a smile.

-Ronald Weasley -the boy after congratulating Naruto stood up -for the best chess player he has not seen in a long time, fifty points -the applause of Griffindor and Percy saying that he is his brother.

-Ron! -Naruto exclaims loudly, when the boy sits down.

-Hermione Granger for the cold use of logic when facing fire, awarded fifty points for Gryffindor -Naruto patted her on the back at her friend's shyness before Ron reminded her "mmh just like tomato Naruto" making her She would roll her eyes.

-fourth... Harry Potter for all his mettle and outstanding courage, awarded the Gryffindor house with sixty points -all the applause and cheers were immediate, but with this they tied with Slytherin, Naruto had recovered the points and won five more than the that he had lost the day they were caught at Hagrid's house, but that wasn't enough...

Dumbledore remembered Naruto's words before speaking – " I have a favor to ask of you."

"what could be darling?"

"don't take points away from Neville"

"Why not?"

"Neville believed he was doing the right thing and confronted us, he was brave, I know he wasn't in bed at the right time and he told me that when he woke up he went out to look for us and didn't find us, he doesn't deserve that."

And that's why Naruto was the most loyal to what she believed in, that's why she was a Gryffindor - there are different types of bravery, we have to have great courage to face our enemies but even more to face our friends, therefore I reward her with ten points to Neville Longbottom -Naruto gasped, not expecting his words to reach a person twice as old as he knew her, Albus just smiled at the girl -which means there is a change in the decorations now -the banners and shields turned the Gryffindors and Naruto finally jumped out of his seat, hugging Neville like everyone else, before seeing Draco who looked more than horrified, as if a curse had been placed on him…

When Naruto passed, she squealed with joy, just as she did when she saw that the rest had also done it with her and she immediately knew who to look for to tell...

-Draco! Come in! Come in! can you believe it? -The boy gave a dry look at the girl who was hovering around him, before stopping -This year was one of the best I have ever experienced and in part -Naruto was a little nervous, but she raises her head and manages to catch the girl's eyes. Draco with his people - it's thanks to you, I'm glad we're friends, ah! But that doesn't mean Gryffindor won't win next time too –

Draco's anger faded almost the instant Naruto called him his friend, but he feigned indifference - as if that was going to happen, half-breed - Draco was called so Naruto just gave him a bright smile and left...

"Naruto, I'm starting to think that you're becoming more famous than Harry," Naruto said goodbye to another friend and she turned her head in confusion.

-what are you taking about -

-Goodbye Naruto! -Justin said goodbye from the train window.

-oh, goodbye Justin! -She said goodbye, shaking her hand vigorously. Harry laughed at Ron's sigh and the accompanying murmur, "What am I talking about?"

-They must come to my house during the holidays, I'll send an owl... oh -Ron looks at Naruto -You live too far away, right? -Naruto lets out a chuckle.

-Don't worry, you can always send the letter to Hogwarts and Albus Ojii chan will send it to where I am -Ron nods while his brothers call him…

Naruto has never been good at goodbyes, which is why he prefers to run immediately after saying goodbye so as not to be flooded with feelings.

-then home -Naruto sat next to Harry on the train, Hermione decided to go find a place to look through her books and Ron was dragged by the twins.

-no -Harry denies and Naruto looks at him -this is my house -Naruto laughs at Harry's firm statement, but she understands the feeling, she has never felt so loved and accepted before, this was also part of her home.

-It's a shame you have to go back to your uncles -Harry laughs mockingly.

-It's a shame that you leave school to get to another one -they both laugh harmoniously, Harry would never have dared to laugh like that before, but Naruto was his best friend and they shared so many things.

-ah! Do they know we can't do magic outside of Hogwarts? -if Harry's gaze could become more mocking.

-absolutely! -both children laugh and the talk continues….
