Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Harry Potter

'Okay. That should be enough' Thought Naruto as he quickly blocked the separate fists aimed towards his head by raising his arms.

Hooking his left clone's arm he pivoted swinging it into the next clone knocking it away before flinging it towards the petrifying spell speeding towards him from up above a tree.

"Ack!" He heard the reaction of the two clones impacting before he saw it as he quickly turned engaging the clone he knocked away seeing it rapidly approaching him.

Pushing off the ground the boy tilted from the quick jab to his head, sending one right back as the clone similarly dodged like him.

The clone and boy quickly exchanged furious quick blows as they both became more and more ragged.

Naruto's teeth sharpened when a punch landed directly onto his face drawing blood as the massive clap of flesh echoed.

He saw stars when his face snapped back like an elastic band and his body nearly lifted off the ground.

"Argh! Bastard!" He bellowed as the breath nearly blew the clone away alone. He grit his teeth pulling his head back as his eyes flashed red before turning back blue.

A quick snap back and his fist immediately landed inside the clone's stomach dispelling it before his eyes widened hearing the spiraling sounds above him.

"Cunning bastards!" The boy quickly felt a chill as he instinctively began molding to avoid turning to paste. He pivoted with swiftness seeing the two clones diving down at him with bloodlust.

His rasengan was only half the size of the azure orb being dropped down on him as he braced himself gritting his teeth when they crossed the distance in less than a second.

'It will have to do!' He threw his hand forward feeling the weight immediately descending as the two powerful jutsus clashed with an immense hum!

The reaction immediately shattered the earth beneath him, a crater forming.

The boy hurriedly molded in response to the threat as he enlarged his rasengan feeling a vicious feeling coming up when it finally overtook the combined orb in size.

It was a quick clash and the smaller rasengan fizzled beneath it's superior.

"Oh shit-" both clones echoed before they were engulfed in blue light.

"Ragh!" The boy roared tilting the rasengan downwards before sending it forwards destroying the ground leaving a trail of destruction.

Trees were uprooted by its might as it quickly zoomed past and eventually hit a massive boulder.

"Hahhhh." The boy sighed out feeling a sweat working up. His muscles ached pleasantly making him feel much more alive than before.

The boy rubbed his face feeling the bruise as he looked towards the shattered rock not feeling very impressed remembering that pervy sage doing much better.

What he was impressed with though was…

He looked down at his clothes, seeing them not very damaged. Great!

'Okay not too bad.' He sighed in relief.

He looked around a bit embarrassed at the similarly destroyed landscapes around him knowing he had gotten a bit too enthusiastic.

Could you blame the boy though? This place seemed like the perfect area for him to train and he couldn't help but cut loose.

He had only ever been able to just practice his control and exercise considering so many people populated Britain.

Now though he could finally get a good spar and he couldn't but sigh in relief.

Looking up the boy blinked before a thought came to him slowly.

'Okay so I'm not late but….'He thought in dread as he looked around the forest. It was more lit as the sun was coming up but..

"How the heck do I get back!" He held his head as he quickly thought about it.

He had dispelled the clone at the entrance to fight it.

"Oh wait Archimedes!" He quickly called out to his owl friend. He had let the clone go because the bird had aerial superiority.

Seeing the owl swoop down the boy grinned.

"Okay time to go back-" He paused before he looked towards the boulder with horrified eyes as his entire body shuddered.

Didn't that clone have his wand?!

(Break)

"Wheh!" The boy wiped his forehead clenching his charms book and wand as he went back inside the castle.

Luckily his clone had put it away knowing it could get damaged when it fought him face to face.

He had no wish to explain to the professor why he lost his wand before classes even started!

That'd be a nightmare!

'Mmm. It's a bit chilly out though.' The boy thought like a dumb ass as he walked inside the halls with no shirt on.

He had a reason. He swore!

He had been missing Mr. Ukke back home so he had gotten himself another plant to replace him.

He also didn't want to take it out of the dirt knowing it could die so here he was carrying a plant in his shirt until he could find a pot.

Ducking around the corridors the boy walked to where he knew the floating staircases were before he paused bumping into someone.

3 Someones.

"We didn't do anything outside, professor! Promise!"

"Y-yeah! We were just polishing them! Honest!"

Naruto paused, balancing easily, catching himself as he heard the high pitch squeal of the girl as the other 2 shouted in similar exclamations.

Very high pitched. In fact he wondered if they were using a spell. Man that was awful.

He watched as their brooms clattered to the ground as they held their hands up like criminals.

'Huh?' The boy scratched his belly in confusion at the strange girls before deciding he really didn't need to know.

'Weirdos.' He thought.

So he quickly began walking around them.

He made it quite far away too before he heard quick footsteps catching up to him.

He walked a bit faster.

They sprinted after him.

He walked a bit faster.

They gave up after realizing he wasn't slowing down.

"Hey! Firstie, Wait up! We just want to talk a bit!" He heard the echo pant out as he stopped in front of a room.

He glanced back.

That pause was all they needed as they caught up grouping around him before he was gagged by a hand and pulled inside the room.

Naruto blinked as the older girls surveyed the room like trained professionals before locking the door and pushing him in a chair.

He deadpanned when they crowded in front of him folding their hands glaring down at him.

"Is this supposed to be intimidating-"

"You saw nothing okay?! No brooms, no gryffindors." The darker skinned one started before the blonde with brown eyes took over.

"And especially no girls! Are you hearing us firstie?!" The girl straight up barked at the boy as he leaned back.

"Keep it zipped!" The final girl finished off for the rest of them.

"Eh? Sure can I go now?" He didn't care to argue with the crazies wanting to leave.

"I don't think you're hearing us-oh merlin!" The girl with long black hair that was braided squeaked in shock quickly approaching the sitting boy seeing the bruises in concern.

Naruto leaned away seeing her approaching but otherwise stayed still.

"Did you get into a brawl with 20 bludgers?!" The girl nearly touched it before quickly pulling back thinking better of it knowing how much bruises hurt from quidditch.

Naruto looked down. They had already begun healing mostly and he could hardly feel them anymore.

"Don't worry I was just uhhh-" He blanked realizing he couldn't exactly tell them he came from fighting himself in the forbidden forest could he?

"What about you? What were you guys doing outside?" He looked at them stubbornly not wanting to be on the back foot as the girls recoiled at the question.

"We were just uhm…" the brunette stuttered a bit looking back at her obvious friends.

He saw all three girls glancing at each other quickly, clearly deciding on a point of action.

"My name is Katie. And we were out practicing for quidditch. We haven't won the cup in some time so…" She sighed clearly not liking to think about it as she threw herself in a chair.

"You can call me Angelina firstie. As you can see we really shouldn't be out flying so early. If we got caught well…you should know, you're sneaking out already aren't you?" She expanded following her friend as all three girls sat down.

"And I'm Alicia! So we told you why we were out, what about you? Don't think you can wiggle out now." She wiggled her brows and smiled mischievously, glancing at the well built body in deep confusion.

Naruto was smiling all the way. These girls were nowhere near as bad as he thought.

"You three can call me Naruto and I was training too! By the way, are you 3 sisters? You act like sisters!"

Naruto did not in fact know what sisters acted like but he did think that was what they acted like.

He saw the one called Katie take a long wide eyed look at him before slowly looking at the other 2 girls.

Before she looked at him again and opened her mouth.

"Hey kid are you crazy- '' Katie's mouth was covered by Angelina as Alicia smiled at the cute kid.

"Well maybe not by blood but yes you can call us sisters of a kind! You've got a good eye kid." She complimented him as Katie spat the hand out.

Naruto blinked feeling pretty good hearing that as he scratched his head embarrassed.

The action caught all three girls' eyes evidently as they glanced at each other with smiles.

"So what were you practicing? Especially to get beat up so badly. You shouldn't do that, you know?" Angelina began seeing him look at her confused.

"You only got one body! You have to take care of it! " Angelina tried giving him advice she learned from quidditch as the other two girls nodded along.

"Ahhh…well." Naruto hesitated not really knowing how to confront genuine care as he quickly pulled out his charm book trying to divert attention.

"I was practicing my charms! And I'm not a firstie either. That's why I need to brush up so I don't fall behind." He hoped the change of subject diverted their attention.

He was successful but still not out of the water yet.

"Really? What on earth does that mean?" Katie moved forward as Naruto opened the book leaning down pulling back her hair.

Naruto felt a bit weird but otherwise said nothing as she exclaimed.

"So you're a second year huh? This is our second year's text! You should be in Harry's year! Are you some kind of transfer? I didn't even know we did those!"

"A transfer student? Where are you from?"

Naruto began sweating at the twinkling eyes realizing he only messed himself up even more.

Well whatever at least they looked pretty cut-

Wait what?

(Break)

Naruto shifted the robes as he made his way to the hall to get some breakfast.

He had been able to 'convince' Katie to allow him to use her jersey so he didn't go inside looking like some kind of loon.

After a rather heated conversation she had reluctantly allowed him to use it only because she was a bit sorry that they accosted him.

He left it inside his room after getting changed for the day.

They also said they'd be his friends which was a plus! Man he was killing it here!

He finally stepped inside the hall glancing around at all the tables. The sounds of chatter and utensils clanking immediately entered his ears as he looked around.

'Ah Susan and Hannah.' The boy smiled as he spotted his two friends before making his way over to say hi.

"Hey girls!" He quickly squeezed in the gap they left between themselves, making himself known as they looked at him in surprise and exasperation.

"Naruto…good morning." Hannah swallowed a bite and grumbled at the intrusive boy moving over, giving him space.

"Good morning Naruto. How did you like Hogwarts?" Susan politely questioned straightening her back shifting a bit away with slightly red cheeks.

" It's pretty cool. Way better than back home anyway!" with back home being his crappy roof house.

"Never seen anything like it ever. Talking portraits, suits of armor, magic food~" the boy sighed dreamily, getting slight giggles at the silliness.

"Wish it had fewer stairs though and less ghosts." The boy shivered remembering the specters looking over the food on the table with shining eyes.

"How about you guys though? Enjoying being back?" He asked, as he noted down everything he would get when he went back to his table.

"Oh…" Susan jumped a bit and Naruto looked at her thinking she was going to speak.

She didn't and the boy could only look confused as she sat like a statue. Was she okay?

He turned his head hearing Hannah speak up loudly.

"It's not too bad I guess. I am not looking forward to many classes, especially considering what you did…" The girl trailed off and Naruto grinned seeing her glance at him with her eyes twitching a bit.

Clearly she was remembering the wake up call she got on the train but why was she so unenthusiastic?

"Hey? Why do you look so annoyed?! I helped you, you know?" Naruto huffed feeling it was a bit uncalled for.

"It's how you do it though Naruto…." She mumbled then girl sighed as if she was tired before he caught her eyes darting over to his side.

'Susan.' The boy thought, turning towards her.

Looking he saw Susan munching on her toast as if it was the most boring thing in the world looking down with furrowed eyebrows.

Looking at her he wondered why she looked so annoyed before he caught her head turning as if to glance towards him.

She stopped though as her eyes widened seeing the blue eyes bore into her.

Naruto scratched his head seeing her quickly turn her head at light speed wondering what was going on with her.

Was she…. playing with him?

"Susan, you ain't as sneaky as you think. I saw you!" He grinned, bumping into her as the girl choked on her toast, nearly dropping it.

He thought he heard another choke on the side of him as he grinned watching the girl look up at him with narrow eyes patting her chest in fright.

The angry eyes were much better than the alternative and if he needed to be a bit annoying to see it then…

His belly grumbled though, interrupting his little visit as he held it. Yeah after all that fighting he definitely needed food right away.

"Sorry girls. Can't stay too long! A man has gotta eat!" The boy held his arms wide open glancing between the two girls who opened their mouths to tell him bye before pausing.

"NarutO?!" Hannah leaned away trying to escape from the heat seeking arms. Sadly for her she wasn't dealing with an ordinary 12 year old.

"Hehe!" Naruto laughed at the funny squeaking sounds they made, making sure to moderate his strength before he let them go.

Not minding them being quiet he stole a piece of bacon from the addled minded Susan before he slipped away.

He glanced at the Gryffindor table before making his way to his new house. He spotted that redhead kid who tried breaking into his room yesterday wondering why there were so many redheads here.

'Ah the next redhead.' Naruto sighed seeing the girl as he decided to sit there waiting for Luna to come down.

"Ginvera." The boy smirked seeing the girl glance at him with narrowed eyes.

"Uzumaki? Why are you sitting near me? There's a whole table for you." The girl grunted quietly looking up and down at the table regularly.

'Is she looking for something?' Naruto raised a brow.

"Eh? You looked lonely so I came to help out." He smiled, taking toast, egg and bacon, putting them on his plate.

"Lonely? I have 6 brothers and 4 go here. I doubt I can be lonely even if I tried." The girl rolled her eyes at the thought.

"Heh~" Naruto's eyes widened a bit at the thought of so many siblings as he ate. So that's why there were so many redheads huh?

Good to know.

"What?" The girl sniffed, irritated by the look on his face as he shook it off glancing at her.

"Nothing nothing. You know when Luna is coming down?" The boy looked away glancing at the array of foods scrunching his nose seeing some kind of gray slop in a bowl.

"Luna? She.." The girl paused, articulating her thoughts.

"She was writing a letter this morning, I guess she went to the owlery?" The girl shrugged as if not knowing.

'The owlery?' What was that exactly? Some kind of home for owls?' The Uzumaki clearly still wasn't familiar with the ins and outs of the language.

Not wanting to look stupid the boy took a sip of milk looking around before his eyes turned strange seeing Luna and Professor McGonagall come inside the hall.

'Why?'

He watched as his friend skipped over to him before she planted herself at the table.

"Good morning Naruto. Starting breakfast without me? That's no good." The girl began filling her plate up also before she glanced at Ginny.

"Morning Luna. Sorry. I'll wait for you next time." He scratched his cheek but he knew she wasn't really mad.

"I'd hope so. And I don't see you wearing your necklace. You wouldn't want a-" the girl paused when the boy dug in his pocket before bringing it out.

A smile lit her face before she turned back to her food humming softly.

"What am I chopped liv-"

"Good morning Ginny."

"Hmpf."

Watching the biplay with a smile Naruto looked up with keen eyes seeing the papers being floated down. It wasn't just him either. Everyone sitting at the table reached up and grabbed it before it fell.

"Your timetables for the semester. Do keep them well kept. There will be no leniency if you miss a class because you misplaced it. However, if you wish to get a replacement you may find yourself at my office at any time."

"A time table huh?" Naruto glanced at it, quickly humming.

"Double herbology? Great!" He smiled seeing it. He needed to get some advice on his plant after all.

However he paused hearing Luna make a strange sound and speak, her voice completely drenched in confusion.

"Herbology? Have you been infected with wrackspurts Naruto? We have Defense against the Dark Arts first." The girl leaned over and showed him her timetable pointing to it as she glanced at his own.

Naruto's face turned strange without looking at it. It would seem he forgot to tell her he wasn't a first year student?

"Well you see…I'm not really a first year-" He saw her eyes widening before he was interrupted by the red head yanking his paper.

"There's no way you're older than me! No way!" Ginvera was having a melt down realizing this idiot was her elder as she looked over it.

Naruto glared at her before looking back to his friend who seemed more than a touch sad.

"I'm a transfer but…" He trailed off, sighing.

"That doesn't mean we can't be friends though! Don't worry too much about it. I promise I won't let the grade difference separate us! Believe it!" He told her seriously, placing a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it gently.

He didn't know much else to say but that and hoped it got through.

He seemed halfway successful by the half tugged lips and the shrug she gave before looking away playing with her food.

'I need to work on my people skills more.' He sighed feeling helpless at his friend's souring mood.

Glancing around in a daze the boy looked around for something to help the situation before his heart stopped.

His eyes immediately pinpointed the red smoking paper.

Smoking.

PAPER!

'Holy Explosive Tag! Why is there an explosive tag here?!' The boy worked on autopilot blindly grasping for something before he found a fork.

Flicking his hand, the utensil zoomed down the table before puncturing the tag, ripping it out of the redhead's hands before it found its place inside a wall with a loud clang.

Naruto pulled down Luna under the table quickly in a panic knowing he could only save her as he waited.

And waited.

And waited.

….

He waited.

….

Naruto turned to Luna who tapped his shoulder.

"That was a very impressive throw you made Naruto. Though I'm not to sure the great hall is a good place to test your marksmanship and on a letter of all things."

He looked at her dazed. "A letter?"

She nodded quickly. "A howler. Dreadful things really. I'd be pretty sad if daddy ever sent me one."

Though she said that her face didn't change at all.

"Not a Explosive tag?" Naruto gulped asking one more time to be sure.

Luna tilted her head. "A what?"

Naruto closed his eyes in pain before he stuck his head out seeing everyone look at the murdered howler that was gasping loudly for air going limp.

'Oh. Not a paper tag. Ahhh.' The boy lamented the cultural differences.

Looking strangely at it for a second Naruto brought up his ruffled friend who looked completely dazed as he glanced around at the startled faces looking at the fork completely sunk inside a wall.

"Praise Merlin!"

"Ronald!"

He heard in the silence as he sat back down sweating, acting like he did nothing at all.

Looking around hoping no one saw, he gave Luna, whose face was contemplative, a glance making sure she knew to keep quiet as he ate getting a nod in return.

Sadly for him a number of people caught the feat.

Luckily none were interested in having that conversation now.

Blue eyes twinkled and brown eyes glanced to the side.

Naruto trembled, ignoring the redhead's intense eyes chewing on his bacon.

He glanced paranoid towards the staff table seeing Professor McGonagall stand up her entire body trembling looking at the table as Naruto ducked his head down.

'Ehehe woops?'
