The Ninja Witch (More or less Fem Naruto)

by Loki123534

Strange occurrences have revolved around Naruto since her birth, and not even the Hokage is aware of her true nature. That is, until a mysterious elderly man arrives in Konoha, asserting that Naruto possesses magic. My English is not very good and I'm sorry about that.

8. H:Part 1:Chapter 2:Diagon Alley

Naruto's mind was spinning around what had just happened, a new and unknown place for everyone, a secret to keep... the first secret that was given to him without any reservation or... at least that's what Naruto thought and hoped it was like that as he walked almost skipping towards his apartment.

Back at the Hokage Tower…

-She's a lovely girl - Albus Dumbledore says a while later watching as the third hokage put a pipe in his mouth and lit it.

-Dumbledore san… I must tell you that I would never have accepted Naruto chan's departure in ordinary situations –Dumbledore turns his head slightly causing the light to reflect against his glasses.

- Ordinary situations? Well, I suppose this is a special case, but I have to assume that it is not simply "a special situation" - the third hokage frowns.

-Naruto chan has had a lot of what you call "accidental magic" throughout his life, I refuse to share the magnitude of the accident and wanting to summarize it, people are realizing it and I refuse to let the council find out about Naruto's power, it's already complicated with... something that it contains on its own - Dumbledore still had a look that was too calm, somehow that disturbed the third hokage, he looked almost confused and curious.

-The council... aren't you part of those who run Konoha besides you? Why have such reservations about the people who advise you? - The third hokage takes a sip from his pipe before frowning, letting out air in the form of a sigh.

-It's not that easy, they've wanted to turn the girl into a weapon for what she contains since she was born, they even felt satisfied when I took her out of the orphanage and put her in another place to protect her when I first noticed that strange ability you call "Magic", that's why I agree to this, it would do Naruto chan good to go away for a while in a different environment and also let things calm down, she's a joker and although some are starting to take it with humor others look at her in a worse way because of it - Hiruzen can't help but remember each of the girl's pranks since she was seven years old, painting the faces of the hokage, filling the windows of the hokage tower with orange frost, throwing honey and feathers at the teachers... he shudders just remembering when the girl found his unlimited edition of Icha-Icha Paradise and left a note saying that if he wanted to get it back he had to pay the ransom... when he got the book back... he hoped that Naruto either hadn't read it or hadn't understood anything about it. Nine year old girl -… are you sure you want to take her with what I've told you? - A drop of sweat almost spilled from the third hokage, he hoped he hadn't discouraged that man from taking Naruto with him, mentioning that she's a joker... should I mention that she can be very rude when she doesn't like things?

Albus laughed as if he couldn't help it at the Third Hokage's obvious concern, as if he had given Naruto "bad press" - don't worry, I know a couple of boys who have caused a lot of havoc where I come from, they're jokers too, it's not something that would discourage me from taking her… Naruto is a witch, it means she belongs in my land -

That relaxed the third hokage - well with that settled, I would like to ask how Naruto will live in that place? I doubt our money is worth anything where you live - he still didn't believe that what he told Naruto was true

-… Actually, he does - that confuses the third hokage - does he do it? In what way? - The Ryo is also a means of payment in a certain area where I come from, the only thing I would need is to change it at the bank, maybe both coins may look a little different, but they are still made of the same material - Hiruzen seemed to see something else in the man's eyes… something that he seemed unwilling to tell, but not serious or bad enough for Hiruzen to insist on knowing…

Now back to Naruto having passed the time until morning….

Naruto sat bolt upright in bed wiping some drool from his face, his eyes wide as he exclaimed in a high pitched screech, "It's morning!" He stood up, pulling himself onto the mattress before hopping to the floor, the old wood creaking as he tried to unwrap the blanket that had gotten stuck in his pants before he began to get ready, thinking, "Where would they go?", "How would they leave?", "How long would it take?"... "Would people... be nice?"

She ate the instant noodles as quickly as she could, even if it meant sticking her tongue out every time it got burned from how hot it was, she was really excited, unable to sit still in her seat.

He left the apartment putting on his sandals, stumbling on the stairs and with wet hair, maybe it would end up fluffing up and Naruto doesn't like it when Kiba mentions it, but the Inuzuka wasn't here and Naruto was in a hurry to get to the tower.

He ran through the streets, dodging people and ignoring their gazes, until he reached the tower, passing the guards with a cheerful wave and climbing the stairs.

- Hokage Jii chan! - she exclaims when she finally arrives, throwing open the door. She barely stops in time when she almost crashes into Albus. She breathes heavily and shakes her arms trying to calm down, her eyes shining too brightly. But then she sees what the third hokage has in his hands. - Gama chan! - Naruto says, pointing with a finger before approaching the third and taking the now stuffed purse in his hands.

-I see you're not wearing your orange jacket today -Hiruzen mentions, looking at the almost gray white shirt.

-Oh, it ripped yesterday while I was running back to my apartment ttebayo -Naruto quickly raises an arm for emphasis- and I crashed into one of the food stands downtown. I couldn't sew it up -she pouts, puffing out her cheeks, she wanted to wear her favorite color today in particular! At least she's still wearing orange on her pants.

-It seems you forgot something Naruto-chan - Naruto turns his head slightly. What did he forget? He looked like a confused kitten before opening his eyes wide and turning to Dumbledore. - Good morning, Albus Ojii-chan! -

The third hokage sighs, he knew that "Hurricane Naruto" was approaching since she approached the tower, but honestly the girl could be more than a hurricane… one without many manners and too excited. Albus smiled gently giving a nod to the effusive greeting -good morning Naruto chan-

-Well now that you're here and before you go, be careful, don't cause havoc... I don't want to even think about you playing any pranks, listen to me, there's money in the wallet that you're supposed to be able to change and -The Third Hokage tried to explain, but Naruto... kept moving, pulling at his shirt that was too big for him and nodding fiercely until he finally seemed to get fed up and let out a little scream.

- Can we go now?! Let's go! Let's go! -… Hiruzen now hesitates to send Naruto to that place, what if the girl ends up doing something and…? maybe he should think things over better and…

-I don't think you should be so impatient Naruto chan - Naruto turns on his heels looking again at Dumbledore who returned his gaze kindly.

-But... - Naruto pouts again, but she still doesn't feel confident enough to shake off Dumbledore like a fighting cock, so she crosses her arms and although she moves, she doesn't say anything else.

Hiruzen sighs ending his internal struggle and moves his hand, Naruto sees his eyes regaining their previous shine - you can go now - with that Naruto walks towards Dumbledore - what time will you return? -

-Most likely at dusk or a little later -Hiruzen nods and looks back at Naruto who is bouncing in place.

-… Have a good trip Naruto chan -Hiruzen says goodbye and Naruto shakes his hand.

- Goodbye! - Naruto turns to Albus - How are we going to leave? On foot? Are we going to leave the village?! I've never left the village! - Naruto seemed to be in his thoughts too excited.

Albus left a card on Hiruzen's desk. "It's so Naruto-chan can come back." Naruto blinks at the small card. "I suggest you leave it on the floor when dusk comes. I doubt you want all those important-looking papers ending up on the floor." Naruto's curiosity increased at the comment, but then Dumbledore turned to Naruto and extended his hand. "Are you ready?" Naruto blinks nervously now. "What did he want her to do?" "Give me your hand and don't let go."

-oh- Naruto hesitated, moving a little before reaching out and gently taking the old man's hand, which was much larger than his own. Dumbledore squeezed it and suddenly Naruto felt it being absorbed at great speed, causing him to scream.

One moment she was in the office and the next everything was blue and she felt very dizzy…

Hiruzen Sarutobi blinks as all the papers fall to the ground in the breeze and… Naruto had disappeared along with that man… -I'm really getting too old for this-…

…

When Naruto's feet felt the ground again, his legs weakened and he had to hold on tightly to Dumbledore's hand, he felt like the instant ramen he had for breakfast was in his throat, one gag away from throwing it all up on that floor... of stones?

The confusion dissipated a bit of the discomfort when he raised his head and looked around, they were in an alley and at the end... there seemed to be a street, but the buildings were thick and not very colorful, there were metal boxes with wheels placed on a small slope, when a person passed quickly Naruto was startled, he didn't feel his Chakra in any way - Where are we? - Naruto asks in a low but somewhat shaky voice, in Japanese.

- In London - Albus answers in the same language, London? Where was this place "London"? Was it something that was learned in the academy and that Naruto skipped too? - In a place where Muggles live - Muggle? That word again

- What is a Muggle? –

- Oh, it's how we wizards refer to non-magical people, Muggles - Naruto nods at that, it was a doubt he had had since yesterday, maybe there was too much information in his little head, but he still added one more.

- And... Where will I buy what I need? - Naruto asks, feeling his pocket, where Gama Chan is.

- First we have to go to the Leaky Cauldron, this is the closest point I chose to get to the place where you can buy your things - Naruto turned his head a little, he understood what the word cauldron and leaky were even if they hadn't been said in his native language - but before we start, do you remember that... I performed a spell on you yesterday so you could read the letter? - Naruto nodded fiercely - can you try to put the words together like this? - Naruto blinks when Dumbledore stops speaking in Japanese but he can still understand him!, as if... he knew about this strange dialect.

Naruto focuses, even closing his eyes tightly, his expression was adorable as he crosses his arms and tries to stay still thinking of what to say and finally sighs - I don't know how to do that! - Naruto's eyes widen, she looked so surprised, she had just spoken that dialect! - How?!, Hello... Hello, goodbye! - Naruto was still shocked, she even covered her mouth with both hands before looking at Dumbledore, who had a strange amused gleam in his eyes, Naruto removed both hands from his mouth and spoke again -... How? - he wondered in a low voice in that strange dialect.

-With that, how about we go already? - Naruto nods excitedly and walks with the old man looking around as they exited the alley, only letting out a squeal when she saw some sort of huge metal boxes with wheels moving across a paved area and there was a strange smell that made her stomach turn a little, but otherwise Naruto was fascinated with everything her eyes could see. She walked relentlessly looking at the large, smooth buildings, they didn't seem to be made of the same material as in Konoha.

They didn't have to go far when Naruto runs to catch up to Albus before pointing at a building that people seemed to ignore, on the left side there was a hanging sign and when they took a step closer, letters and a drawing of some kind of glass appeared, making Naruto open his eyes wide. "How does he do that?" He wonders quietly, turning his head slightly before Dumbledore pushes the door open causing a bell to ring and Naruto followed him inside that place.

That street was different, it was... like a bar or tavern, but the chairs moved by themselves, adjusting themselves when people were going to sit down and some glasses levitated to be placed in front of said people who wore robes similar to Dumbledore's.

-oh it's Albus Dumbledore-

- What brings you here? –

People whispered around him making Naruto realize that this old man was somehow important.

- Mr. Dumbledore! - A man had approached the old man with a smile on his face, but Naruto could only notice that... he was actually somewhat or rather quite bald - What brings you here today? - Naruto shrinks a little into herself, when she sees a couple of women with pointy hats look at her, her blue eyes had only caught them for a second, she expected frowns or insults towards her...

Devil.

Dirty.

Son of a bitch.

But none of the words she always heard came out whispered and the women had given a kind smile to Naruto who was left speechless and with his eyes wide, before his whiskered cheeks turned pink and he gave a small smile, the blush only getting worse when he heard with his great hearing one of the women say "How adorable." Naruto decided to approach Dumbledore, his small hand clinging to the sleeve of the old man's reddish robes.

-I don't have much time to chat today Tom- Tom looks at the mustachioed blonde leaning a little, but when Naruto backed away, he just gave him a smile and finally turned back to Albus.

-I see, then I won't take up any more of your time - Tom steps back and when a little bell rings at what appears to be the bar, he leaves.

- Shall we go, Naruto? - Dumbledore walks confidently but not arrogantly towards a door at the back of the tavern, greeting the people again. For a moment, Naruto stood still in place, a little intimidated, before shaking his head and following Dumbledore at a brisk pace.

- Huh? - Naruto looked like a confused kitten as it seemed like they were at a dead end, there was a large brick wall, he blinked a few times, there was a trash can and not much else - Now where do we go? Do we need to go fuu!? Ttebayo again? - Naruto blew hard before grimacing, still feeling some bile in his throat. The old man let out a laugh making his long beard move as he walked towards the bricks.

-It won't be necessary my dear - Naruto moves again at being called 'dear', before he saw Dumbledore take out again... that... wand? Naruto watched the movement carefully, starting to bounce in place as he realized that maybe the old man was going to use that thing called 'magic' again. -Remember it well, next time you might have to come on your own -

How was she going to get here alone? He doubted he could, but he nodded, watching as the old man pointed his wand at one of the bricks near the trash can before tapping it three times.

If Naruto could be more amazed, it was time, the brick was shaking! -wah - the blonde with a mustache exclaimed with shining eyes when suddenly the brick disappeared leaving a small hole and then said hole became larger and larger, revealing a fairly large passage.

He couldn't remember anything like that in Konoha, the passageways were camouflaged with paints, Chakra, stones or whatever else, he moved forward with Dumbledore - How?... - Naruto says in a shrill voice before realizing that maybe he should stop asking that, but any wonder he had before was reborn when he saw a large street.

It was colorful and full of shops and people walking around in the same robes that Dumbledore wore and that pointed hat, there was a store that sold "Cauldrons of All Sizes", drugstores, and he had also seen a store that had those animals that Naruto always forgot the name of, but they were birds that had those huge eyes that almost never blinked and could turn their heads almost completely, they scared him a bit and made him curious at the same time when he had seen the bird once.

-We've arrived - Dumbledore smiles when he sees that Naruto seemed ready to charge forward at any moment - this is Diagon Alley - the girl turns too quickly towards the director, her eyes shining like a pair of stars in the middle of the night when she asks.

- Where do we go first?! - Naruto jerks in place and walks over to Albus, arms flailing at his sides on either side of his small frame.

The girl certainly couldn't seem to stay still in her spot, looking around, even now she was receiving a couple of glances.

-We have to wait a while- that makes Naruto stop dead when he started walking, stretching his legs as much as he could and turning around, puffing out his cheeks.

- Why? –she asks.

-We have to meet someone first- someone? Naruto turns his head slightly confused, before nodding, but still somewhat sulking at having to wait. Something that at ten years old is still not very good, to be honest.

She had moved to the nearest shops and had seen the pet shop a couple times, inside there were more of those birds, cats and even frogs, before turning around and moving to another nearby spot, she was somewhat tense by the amount of people but tried to calm down when in reality no one was watching her… -mmh? - she frowns, stopping for a second before raising her head blinking and looking at the adults or children around her, they didn't pay much attention to her and the adults that did gave her a smile before continuing on their way, she even received a "little care" when she had mistakenly gotten in someone's path, at first it was confusion, then excitement at the revelation.

Nobody here knows her.

Nor were they judging her.

So she didn't have to hide.

And with that Naruto already looked like a bunny fluttering nearby, Albus thought the girl couldn't wait long enough.

It was about five minutes, until Naruto finally got tired of seeing the same nearby shops and walked up to Albus with his arms crossed, now better understanding what the hokage had said, Naruto now did not look happy at all, puffing out his cheeks.

- Who are we going to see? - Albus turns around at the voice of a child, even from a distance he could see the person they had been waiting for, it had been sooner than he expected them to be late.

Naruto moved back and forth, standing on his heels and then on his tiptoes, only tilting his head slightly when he saw Albus turn his, only to fully support himself on his feet and step back, scared when a big man... no, huge and with a big beard and long hair was standing in front of her.

-Professor Dumbledore - The giant man says as a greeting with a smile, he looked too friendly, something that made Naruto press his lips together and instinctively shrugged his shoulders forward trying to go unnoticed, before hiding behind Albus.

- Hagrid, just in time, you didn't take long even though the letter I sent you must have taken a while - The huge man had laughed and shook his head.

-We were on our way to Gringotts , when an owl came, you should have seen the scream that poor boy let out- Naruto's gaze on the big guy changes when a "boy" is mentioned, blinking he lowers his head and his eyes focus on a child right next to this Hagrid.

He was looking in every other direction with his lips tense, he had really messy jet black hair that covered part of his forehead, he had green eyes and they looked a little bigger because of the round glasses he was wearing. He was wearing a t-shirt that was maybe supposed to be white but right now looked greyish and it reached almost to his knees, along with a pair of pants that seemed to have been tailored to fit him.

Naruto's mind was racing around whether this kid was going to be like Shikamaru, or Chouji, or... if he was going to be like everyone else. And when the kid's green eyes locked onto Naruto's blue ones, they both looked like nervous little things, more so Naruto than the other kid. "Look, here's who I wanted to introduce you to." Albus suddenly puts his hands on Naruto's shoulders, causing a squeal to escape the back of her throat, before she was gently pushed in front of the two new people, leaving her like one of those goats that when they get scared they completely paralyze.

-I-I… - Naruto murmurs softly, before shaking his head a little -I'm Naruto Uzumaki - even though he had said it with more confidence and with a squeak in his voice, Hagrid could easily notice that the boy was scared of him by the way he cringed, something that made him really uncomfortable and somewhat nervous, he smiled at Naruto kindly, making the little girl hesitate even more.

People could be nice, like big kids, and then… something bad could happen .

But Naruto wanted to give her a chance, nobody knew her, he could do it, she gave a sweet smile to Hagrid, she was a cutie incarnate at that moment.

-I'm Rubeus Hagrid, nice to meet you Naruto- he says and then looks at the boy next to him, doing the same thing that Albus had done a moment ago, but he only needed one hand and a little strength to push the black-haired boy forward, facing Naruto.

-Ah... Me - The boy had started out as Naruto, before straightening up, showing that he was a couple of inches taller than the blonde with the whiskers. -I'm Harry... Harry Potter - Harry gave Naruto a friendly smile, one that few people had ever shown him.

Harry might not be mean like most kids to her. Maybe he'd be like Chouji or Shikamaru. She smiled back at him even more.

-Well then with the introductions done, it's time for me to go - Albus gives the girl a smile. But all the calmness that Naruto had had a few moments ago disappears almost immediately and she turns almost completely dramatically towards the director.

- What? You're not going to come with me? - Naruto rubbed the white t-shirt he was wearing between his fingers with renewed nervousness.

Things weren't supposed to be this way, the third hokage had authorized the trip with this person, not with this big person and... Naruto looks back at the boy who seemed to have bright eyes, he seemed to want Naruto to accompany them -I'm sorry, I would if I could, but I have... another matter to attend to, Hagrid is a good friend of mine, you won't have to worry about anything - Albus had put his hands on Naruto's shoulders reassuringly.

Naruto wrinkles his nose for a second before nodding, he wanted to leave and explore the place -Okay-

-So do you have your letter? - Albus asks and Naruto gives a big nod. -Good -then I look at Hagrid -I'll leave it in your care- The giant man gave a nod. -When it's time for them to leave, you'll have to explain to him how to use the portkey . - Portkey ? Naruto turns his head a little looking between the two adults present, was it magic? That thing they called an incantation? Naruto didn't know, Albus passes two cards to the giant man.

Hagrid seemed to frown slightly. "No… he's a bit young to be travelling using a portkey ," and the word kept being repeated.

-I think it's a skill he needs to acquire soon, besides I'm sure he'll do very well at it- Albus had said and although Naruto still didn't understand what they were referring to, he felt flattered in some way, rubbing the fabric of his shirt as he lowered his head a little with a small smile. -See you, at school then- the eyes behind Albus' glasses sparkled as they looked at Harry- and it was good to see you Harry- Albus smiled again at both boys, Harry shifted somewhat uncomfortably at the attention before nodding, Naruto felt a breeze and the old man disappeared.

There was a silence between the two children and the large man, before the latter clasped his hands together and digested. "Well, let's resume our journey now to the Gringotts bank." Hagrid began to move, followed by Harry who gave Naruto slight glances until she moved to walk beside him, something that seemed to make him happy.

The street was noisy and there were more shops than Naruto could see at first, she looked like a curious kitten looking around.

She wanted to run off and explore at that moment, but instead she turns to Harry and Hagrid, but mostly to Hagrid. "You're really big!" she exclaims, raising both arms, before turning her head slightly. "In fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone who's bigger, ttebayo."

- "A child who comes from a Muggle family?" - Hagrid thinks to himself, but then takes a closer look at Naruto, spiky almost golden blonde hair and the bluest eyes Hagrid had ever seen, and marks on his cheeks like whiskers plus Dumbledore looked like he had gone for the child personally and if the child clearly didn't look so amazed and bouncing in his step he would have thought he was a half-blood like Harry.

Curiously, Harry focused his gaze on the blonde with a mustache, she also had a sparkle in her green eyes - did you also discover that you had magic recently? -

Naruto smiles at the memory of the previous day and nods fiercely - Yes! -

- Was it that wizard who brought you here who told you? Albus… Albus - Harry narrows his eyes a little thinking about the name, remembering having seen it somewhere.

-Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, I mentioned it before - Hagrid said it seemed like there was a great respect towards the old man by the way his eyes sparkled and he smiled softly, before his eyes focused on something in front of him, making both boys do the same - we're here now, this is Gringotts bank -

Naruto was amazed, it was a large white building, in the distance without going up the polished white steps in front of the bronze doors there was a kind of statue with a crimson uniform, it was strange for Naruto, it had a different figure than he thought and somewhat pointed ears and nose and...

-It's a goblin -Hagrid seems to read both of their minds -Come on-

At that moment Naruto didn't want to go in, he had seen a couple of shops in the distance that he wanted to see -Ne Hagrid- Naruto jumps forward to be in front of the big man, while searching for something in his pocket -I want to look out here for a while- she suddenly takes out her froggy purse stuffed with ryo putting it in front of her face, her eyes shined like a puppy's and said puppy looked like she was going to run away the moment Hagrid gave her the green light.

Hagrid pressed his lips together, so tender, but he was supposed to keep her close, she was just a kid who could wander off and… but what about those eyes ? Who could beat them? With a laugh Hagrid takes the purse -okay, but stay close or you might get lost, okay?-

Naruto raises both arms above his head - Yes! - he gives a fierce nod.

-Oh… -Harry frowned a little in disappointment and seemed to pout, wanting Naruto to accompany them.

Naruto waved goodbye until they were out of sight, inside the bank, she instantly turned around and started walking over to the shops looking through the windows, there was a shop full of brooms displayed in one of them, she didn't focus on the name of the shop, she just wondered - Why are they displaying ttebayo brooms? - she wonders quietly with her eyes half closed, before reading what looked like the price or something - N… Nimbus 2000? - Was 2000 the price? Plus, it looked like too fancy of a broom to sweep with, polished even.

Naruto's concentration made him not notice that he was turning his head from side to side, some people had pointed out how adorable he looked, but the blonde with the mustache hadn't even noticed.

She only broke out of her concentration about "using a broom for more than just sweeping" when she was startled by the sound of metal against the floor and some laughter, she had let out a shriek before looking from side to side where the source of her fright was, she walked a little further and could see what it was.

A boy of about his age was picking up his things from the floor, among them a large… bucket? Or something like that but round, it wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't for the other person in front of said boy.

His eyes were sunken and when Naruto focused on his hands he seemed to have rather thick fingers, he was definitely older than her by about three or four years. " Mudblood. " The blonde blinked at how the poison came out of such words, of which she didn't know the meaning, maybe the other boy knows it or not, but Naruto could only see his back and how he shuddered at it because of the poison or the meaning.

Naruto began to walk towards them without realizing it, slowly until he stopped right next to the boy who was still trying to gather his books and other things, she shrank a little when the older boy looked at her - And what are you looking at? - Naruto just blinked at him before turning around ignoring him before crouching down, the boy raised his head, he had dark watery eyes and curly brown hair of the same shade.

Naruto's lips pressed into a pout, he didn't seem to have been doing anything before this bad boy came to bother him. "Are you okay?"

-I-I - the boy began to speak, but was almost immediately interrupted.

- How dare you ignore me! - The bad boy mumbles loudly and starts walking towards them, at that moment Naruto's shoulders tense, was he going to attack her? - You must be a half-blood, right? Almost as bad as a filthy mudblood - Now Naruto was definitely going to take it as an insult, this person kept insulting this boy for no reason and that made the blue-eyed girl very angry.

She stood up and brushed the fake dust off her pants, before turning to the bad boy just before he seemed to pick up speed and launch himself forward, surely planning to use his larger size to push Naruto into the ground. But she didn't give him the chance, moving to the side in one fluid motion and stretching and lifting one of her legs, just in time for the bad boy's own legs to get tangled and he stumbled, his face the first thing to land on the stone floor.

The boy let out a yelp of pain as he sat on the ground and looked up at Naruto from there with a scrape on his cheek and forehead. "You're bad, Boo!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at him with a frown, before taking a step forward closer to the boy, the warm air cooling and the blue becoming more intense. "Go away and stop bothering him or I'll kick you ttebayo." Naruto puffed out his cheeks, it would be little shock, if the sign on one of the stores hadn't started to shake very hard, creaking from the lack of oil and before he knew it the boy had gotten up, stumbling as he ran after his bravery.

-Wow- Naruto jumps a little when she hears that sound behind her, she slowly turns to the boy who was still on the ground, the only difference is that he was more upright and looking her in the eyes. Maybe he didn't want her help and she was just butting in or... -that was cool- she blinks- cool, her?

She smiles and then hesitates for a second before saying - I'm Naruto... Uum N-Naruto Uzumaki - Naruto extends his hand to the boy to help him up, still somewhat fearful and yet somewhat hopeful.

But the boy took it and smiled back - Justin... Justin Finch Fletchley and that was amazing how you dodged and tripped that kid - he actually laughed, while taking the handle of that kind of bucket...

- Cauldron! - Naruto remembered the name and exclaimed it out loud, it existed where he lived, although he hadn't seen many compared to the exuberant amount he had seen here.

-Oh yeah, they asked for it for school, in fact, wait, are you going to Hogwarts too? - He asks and Naruto nods vigorously.

- Yep! I'm here to buy what I need ttebayo - the boy turns his head slightly at the "ttebayo", while Naruto tapped the pocket where the letter was kept with the palm of his hand.

-So you're coming with your parents? You're a half-blood, right? That means you already knew magic before, right? Which of your parents has magic? Ah! I also heard that there are other species or something, is one of your parents from another species? - The avalanche of questions had taken Naruto somewhat off guard, especially when the boy seemed excited about the idea that one of Naruto's parents was from another species.

-I never met my parents, so I don't know if either of them are from another species, I'm sorry - she really felt like disappointing him, there was nothing special about her, she looked at the boy with some suspicion because of his reaction, maybe he wouldn't want to talk to her anymore.

And there was a change in Justin's expression, but his gaze looked guilty -oh I'm so sorry, I didn't know... I mean I didn't want to- Naruto blinks at that, no one had ever apologized like that before and why was he apologizing?

Naruto turns his head like a confused kitten at that. "It's okay, it's a normal question." He shrugs simply before smiling at the boy again.

- Justin, honey, where are you?! - A female voice calls in the distance between the crowd.

Justin seems to realize something - Ah! I have to go, my… - the boy pauses for a second before shaking his head - they're waiting for me, but I guess I'll see you at Hogwarts? - Naruto gives him a thumbs up raising his hand making the boy laugh - Thanks again, bye - with that Justin turns around and walks away with the cauldron and books while Naruto waved his hand from side to side quickly and had stood on his tiptoes until the boy ends up disappearing into the crowd of people in robes and pointy hats.

He was a nice boy and had been kind to her, turning on her heels in a clean movement she thought about where to go now, before realizing that she had actually moved a little away from where the Gringotts bank was supposed to be -this is bad- Naruto looks around and when he manages to see the store where that strange and too elegant broom was, he runs towards it, dodging the passersby with ease and from there he locates himself and returns to the large white building.

No one came out even when he waited a minute and that was too much, so he sat on the ground crossing his legs and shaking his knees a little, looking like he could fly away at any moment.

A couple of minutes later and a couple of people approaching him and asking if he hadn't gotten lost, made Naruto lose his little patience he had, he stood up suddenly and when he was going to go explore on his own, the doors finally opened.

Hagrid and Harry approached Naruto, she could easily see and notice the big man's face, it was green and he looked extremely dizzy and the boy's pocket was full unlike before and his green eyes were shining too much. "It took them too long" she complains, puffing out her cheek a little.

-Oh, you waited too long - for a moment Harry stepped back, but then smiled a little again - but if you had come in with us... we travel in a very fast cart - Harry explains moving his arm forward, making Naruto start paying more attention until Hagrid took out the old toad purse.

- Gama chan! - Naruto exclaims and takes it in his hands, it was stuffed with twice its content, she had never seen it like that.

"Gama chan?" Harry blinked at the frog's purse before the blonde put it away, causing the glasses-wearing boy to turn to the larger man. "Where are we going now?"

-So what's on your lists? - With that and the large man holding his stomach, they started walking, while Naruto searches in his pants pocket, sticking his tongue out a little, until he found it. Opening the letter again he takes out the second page and reads it:

Naruto blinks. Dragon? Telescope? And why would she want a broom? A pet -mmh- wasn't something she was too excited about either, cats and animals in general bristled at the sight of her or simply by being near her, they scratched and bit her many times. And those birds... owls... she sincerely had a sincere respect for them, really! But she didn't think she could sleep at night with those big eyes watching her, maybe she would get used to it, but it was a "No thanks" for the moment, nor did she have anything against toads, she simply wouldn't know what to do with one.

Reading wasn't his strong suit either... not at all, in fact, he couldn't spend more than ten minutes in a chair without wanting to leave. The only thing that really caught his attention was the wand, which he had seen Albus use twice already and to do cool things, that was what he wanted to do, yes , get his own wand.

- Then you'll need some uniforms, Hagrid straightens up, something that is perhaps unnecessary due to his large size, and points to a shop. Both children look up and see that it says " Madame Malkin, robes for all occasions. "

Naruto had suddenly stood still causing the others to also stop and look at her - What's wrong? - Harry asks, but only sees that Naruto's eyes were fixed on an ice cream shop, he almost seemed to be drooling with his hand in his pocket…

Five minutes later and Naruto had his giant three-scoop vanilla ice cream cone, marshmallows, and chocolate syrup, Harry could only squint a little, watching the blonde lick the ice cream, while doing the same with the two-scoop one he had, he no doubt thought that Naruto wouldn't be able to finish it on his own, but... he looked happy, so the stop at the ice cream shop had been worth it.

Naruto hummed, licking it like a kitten to ice cream, he could almost never eat this kind of things, either they didn't sell it to him or he didn't have enough money.

Hagrid who had his own ice cream, hadn't started eating and as they approached Madam Malkin's shop again, it was he who stopped this time "Do you mind, if I take a stroll over to the Leaky Cauldron? Stop it, Gringotts carts." Naruto had taken another lick of his ice cream before looking at the shop and then Hagrid, he had been the one who ordered the ice creams for them at the shop and she still wasn't quite sure how to use the money, looked at Harry and he looked back at her nervously, before she noticed that the boy had a chocolate moustache, causing her to let out a laugh.

- What? -Harry asks taking a lick of his ice cream, getting more ice cream mustache.

"You have a chocolate mustache," Naruto noted amusedly before returning to his own ice cream, Harry ran his wrist over his lips, wiping them clean.

Speaking of mustaches, Harry had noticed the singular appearance of this blond boy , he had never seen a person with such blue eyes and if he didn't think it would be rude he would ask about the three mustaches Naruto had on both of his round, pink cheeks.

They both entered the shop as Hagrid walked away somewhat shakily towards the dripping cauldron. "Ah, you beauties, you can't eat near the clothes." Madam Malkin had approached with a kind smile and wearing a mauve garment. The woman kindly pointed to a backless bench next to the window. "You can finish your ice creams there, Hogwarts, beauties?" They both gave a nod, Madam Malkin hadn't given them a chance to speak. "Many have passed by here already. In fact, the boy standing there is trying on a uniform right now."

Naruto didn't focus much on what the woman was saying, she was more busy eating her ice cream before it melted, but for a second her eyes focused on a boy standing on a kind of stool with his back to her who was wearing a long robe, while another witch was putting a pin in the garment, he had blonde hair but very different from Naruto's which was more golden, shiny and spiky, the boy's hair was pale and seemed stiff and pushed back.

-So -Harry suddenly speaks, making Naruto's attention focus on him- How did you find out you were a wizard?-

The question makes Naruto's eyes light up, she shifted her legs that were slightly hanging off her seat before answering -Yesterday when I woke up, there was a letter on my face! -she exclaims pushing her legs up -I opened it and I couldn't read it -Naruto takes a lick of his ice cream.

- Why couldn't you read it? - Harry asks, trying to finish his ice cream.

-It was in this strange language that I now speak ttebayo -Harry tried to understand that, strange language? English was strange?

- Strange? Isn't English your native language? - Harry hesitated, until now the boy with the mustache had spoken fluently, although he slightly skipped the "r" sometimes.

Naruto shakes his head. "No, I only knew how to speak Japanese before, but then Albus Ojii-chan did a…" she squints her eyes trying to remember the word, while comically taking another lick of the ice cream, ending up with a candy in her mouth. "Oh, enchantment on me and now I can speak it."

-continuing with how I found out what it was -again Naruto forgot the word, Albus had called her "Witch" but Harry had called her "wizard" -well, after I didn't understand a word, I thought it was a code or something, then I decided to go see hokage Jii chan to show him, in his office I met Albus Ojii chan -Naruto smiled more happily and moved his legs in sync in a faster way, sometimes tapping the floor -he told me many things ttebayo, that I had magic, I thought it was something like Chakra or something like that, but he told me no. Then this morning he brought me here and I met you -it was a little tangled and Harry didn't understand some things, but the story was interesting enough.

- What is Chakra? - Harry asks curiously, biting into the waffle cone.

-It's something that happens where I live, Konoha - Naruto didn't give the best explanation, but it was more that he didn't have a great understanding of the subject, instead he pointed at himself -It's something like energy and then how did you discover that you had magic? -

-Well -Harry seems to remember it for a moment, as if the story didn't start yesterday like Naruto's- about two weeks ago a letter arrived for me, to the place where I live, but -Harry wrinkles his nose in clear disgust- they didn't let me read it and they tore it up-

Naruto blinks at that, asking in a gasp, deep in the story - Why would they do such a thing? -

-They don't like magic, they say I'm weird and-Harry says quietly before stopping and shaking his head-getting back to the story, then more letters from Hogwarts started arriving, and when I say more I mean a lot more!-Harry says with wide eyes before smiling in some amusement-there were owls around the house and then two days ago, a bunch of letters shot out from all directions, from the chimney, from under the door… well I'll cut the story short-Harry says hurriedly taking another lick of his ice cream-we left there and ended up in some kind of old cabin, there when it got dark, I stayed awake, since tomorrow was my birthday-

-wait- Naruto narrowed his eyes waving his free hand in front of her before finally realizing -Today is your birthday! - he said out loud before waving his arms, the ice cream almost spilled, even the only scoop he had left was in the air for a moment and luckily ended up back in the cone.

-Y-Yes -Harry smiled a little at the boy's effusive reaction. -I stayed awake and when it was midnight, Hagrid came there and knocked down the door, he was the one who told me that I had magic and gave me the letter… -Harry cut her off right there, but now Naruto was more focused on the fact that it was the boy's birthday.

What should I do or say?

She had never celebrated such a thing before… not even her own.

-mmh - Naruto was thinking before realizing, A gift! Of course, a nice one, not like the one some civilians once "gave" him on the day of the kyubi death festival .

There was a moment when Naruto was thinking about a gift, the boy with the pale blonde hair had gotten off the stool and was no longer wearing that black robe or the accessories they put on him as if he were a dress-up doll, instead he had put on a dark blue robe and walked with the other witch who had been measuring him.

Harry had already finished and was wiping his hands with a napkin, while Naruto was about to finish, leaving him with half a ball and the cone to eat.

Madam Malkin noticing that Harry was done had dragged the boy over to the stool and a meter stick began to move in the air as the woman had Harry spread his arms out and brought up grey v-neck sweaters with a sort of crest on the left side, along with a couple of white shirts, black ties, tight pants, shoes among other things. Harry did look like a dress-up doll while they were doing all that, making Naruto let out a laugh, not even noticing when someone had approached, and he only stopped looking at the raven-haired boy when he felt someone step on his foot, making him let out a squeal and push it away. "Oh" Naruto raised his head, a white mustache adorned his lip, which did not match the ones on his cheeks at all, it was the boy who was standing on the stool before, but now Naruto could see him better.

He had grey eyes and pale skin, the boy hadn't moved, nor had he apologized for stepping on her foot, but his eyes were slightly narrowed at her.

Naruto lowered his head and looked at what he thought the boy was looking at and only saw his ice cream, then he turned his gaze to the boy and raised his ice cream - do you want some? -

The boy opened his eyes a little more. "What? No." This confused the mustachioed girl even more, but she just shrugged and took another lick of her ice cream, he missed it. "Your pants... they're very striking." Naruto blinked a little before looking at his pants.

- I like orange! It's a great color for a person like me, Naruto Uzumaki ttebayo! - she says in a cheerful squeal, waving her only free hand - I had an orange jacket, but it ripped - she finishes puffing her cheeks a little and pouting.

The boy raises one of his blond eyebrows - Are you a foreigner? Japanese perhaps? - the boy murmurs quietly, but Naruto can still hear him easily - It's actually funny that you have the same last name as the one from the Uzumaki legend -

There was a second where Naruto stood still, almost completely stiff and with his eyes wide, before a squeak escaped him and he shifted before grabbing the boy's robes with his free hand, but not free of vanilla ice cream residue, making him flinch as if no one had ever thrown him like that before.

- Legend? What legend? Like, like, like, like! - she repeated many times, shaking too much, the boy was now nervous.

-It's a silly legend - he tries to downplay - even some pathetic muggle knows it in one way or another - he says with a frown. - muggles may be pathetic, but mudbloods are repulsive -

Naruto stops for a second, his hand letting go of the boy's blue robes, she still didn't know the meaning of 'mudblood' but she still vividly remembered Justin's face when he was told that and the tone full of venom and repudiation when he pronounced those two words... and she knows what it feels like to be insulted, she pushes her shoulders forward looking like a hurt but upset puppy. -... You're the pathetic one - she says with a frown, while the boy blinks at her - That thought could finish you - with that Naruto stopped looking at him even when the boy's face turned red from anger and his fists clenched, she calmed down and took a bite of the waffle cone.

- You! - but the boy didn't have time to say anything else.

When someone was heard exclaiming outside the tent - Draco ! - at that moment the pale blonde boy just mumbled under his breath and before Naruto realized it, the boy was gone.

She licked her fingers before standing up from the stool "come this way" another witch suddenly called causing Naruto to raise his head only to be dragged to a stool and bristling when the woman looked at her closely.

He closed his eyes tightly when the woman had brought her hand closer, only to feel his short bangs being pushed upwards, he opened them again and slightly avoided the woman's gaze - w-what's wrong? - she says in a shrill voice.

The woman removed her hand and Naruto finally saw how the meter began to move - I thought you might be a girl - Naruto blinked, about to tell her that she was biologically a girl - because if you were we would have to go look for more skirts in the back room - that makes Naruto close his mouth abruptly, while the witch makes him raise an arm and the meter stretches out measuring.

- a skirt? -

-Yes, there is a female or male variant of the uniform, pants or skirts – The woman finally turns to look for the uniform with Naruto's measurements.

Naruto had never worn a skirt in her life and she honestly wasn't willing to wear one now, they looked uncomfortable when it was too windy or too cold, plus they weren't very convenient when you jumped, right?

The blonde felt completely uncomfortable standing still in one place while being forced to try on the clothes, she squirmed and flailed her arms when the witch was slow to put the tie around her neck. She had told her "you're going to fall" many times, before she finally began to put the long robe that reached down to her ankles on her.

Harry had by this point gotten off the stool and was waiting for Naruto from the seats, watching the poor witch trying to start a conversation to get Naruto to stop moving.

…

Naruto didn't know what she was going to do with so many parchment-type notebooks and quills with small bottles of ink, she had never written with anything like that or with the amount of books they carried from the Flourish and Blotts store . Harry had told her that they were pretty and it was something that Naruto didn't refute, the leather that some were covered in, the ones the size of a stamp or even the ones that seemed to be covered in silk that Naruto loved to run his hands over.

But what had caught his attention completely, was when he opened one and then his blue eyes widened and sparkled - Harry, look, look! - Naruto raises a hand to get the attention of the boy, who was sadly putting a book back on the shelf to approach Naruto.

- What's wrong? - Harry looks at whatever it was that had the blonde amazed, only for him to let out a soft "wow", the page had a moving drawing, representing the movements of a wand.

But the blonde's interest was now on the book Harry had been looking at before, so she dropped the book in her hands and walked over to the bookshelf and pulled it out, reading the cover. " Spells and Counterspells " - she finally read the subtext. - " Charm your friends and confuse your enemies with the latest revenge: Hair Loss, Butter Legs, Tongue Tied, and more, much more, from Professor V…Vin…Vindictus Viri…Viridian ." - Reading the guy's name was complicated, but Naruto was more excited about the spells in the book, although it's not like she was trying to make her enemies bald.

She giggled, covering her mouth with one hand before thinking about taking the book and giving it to Harry, but she's not sure about that, if he wanted it he would buy it for him himself, right? "I don't think that book will be of much use right now." Naruto jumps at Hagrid's voice, the book shooting into the air when he lets go of it and finally catching it in mid-air, before turning to the adult.

- Why? -She puffs out her cheeks a little, did she think he wouldn't understand?... well –"Maybe he won't understand ttebayo" –she puts the book back on the shelf, before starting to rub the fabric of her shirt between her fingers only to stop when she noticed Harry following her with his gaze.

-It won't be easy to understand, you need more study for it. Same with Harry. - The huge man answers and Naruto opens his eyes wide.

So Hagrid wasn't treating her like she was stupid, she just wasn't ready for it. Naruto smiles again and jumps up and down. - Okay! -

…

Harry was surprised as he carried his things, carrying a cauldron, a telescope and a scale plus the books was not an easy task, although his company of the same age made it seem like the simplest task in the world.

Naruto walked almost skipping, as if what he was carrying weighed almost nothing. "It's not heavy for you?" Harry asked curiously as Hagrid offered to help them carry the bags of books and uniform.

- This? - Naruto points at the bags and after shaking his head at Hagrid's help, he lifts all the bags and the cauldron much higher. - Not really ttebayo, I'm used to training and carrying heavy things. -

"Training for what?" That was a question Harry had to keep to himself when Naruto spoke again, turning his head towards Hagrid. "Where are we going now?"

-Well, let me see. - Hagrid starts searching his pockets for Harry's list, but Naruto rests the bags on his arms and rummages through his pockets before pulling out a crumpled piece of paper that was undoubtedly his supply list and passing it to Hagrid. -Thanks. - He thanks him and Naruto smiles even more as he puts his hands behind his back. He reads it for a few minutes before nodding. -Well, all that's left to do is get your wands and... oh, right, we still need to find you a birthday present, Harry. -

Harry's cheeks flushed and he lowered his head, looking away. "You don't have to buy me..."

- You don't like gifts? - Naruto asks putting a hand over his mouth, thinking then that it was good that he hadn't bought that book.

-No, I do like them, just… -

-I know I don't have to. -Hagrid adds. -You know what, I'll get you an animal. Not a toad, they've been out of fashion for a long time. -The man was starting to think out loud apparently. A toad? Naruto turned his head like a confused kitten, she had never seen anyone with a pet toad in Konoha... -And I don't like cats, they make me sneeze. I'll get you an owl. All the kids want an owl. They're very useful, they carry the mail and whatnot...in fact. -Hagrid's eyes fixed on Naruto's and he suddenly smiled. -Do you want one too?-

-…ah… - Naruto let out a little sound as his eyes lit up at the question, now it was she who was starting to feel a slight heat on her mustachioed cheeks. -I-It's not my birthday. -And if it was, she wouldn't want anything either.

-That's not the important thing, any boy your age would love to have an owl.

Naruto felt cute, but shook his head hard and fast, before picking it up and shaking his arms with a smile. -No… But thanks! - She says with a somewhat squeaky but adorable voice…

It wasn't long before they arrived at the owl emporium, Naruto waited outside when he saw the owls getting excited at his presence, he had to wait fifteen minutes, an eternity for her, he had to walk around the place many times before the bell of the shop rang and she saw a pouting Hagrid next to Harry who was carrying a silver cage in one hand, inside there was a beautiful white owl that was dozing with its head tucked under one wing, the boy having bright green eyes and repeating with a stutter "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...!" over and over again to Hagrid.

-Don't mention it, I doubt the Dursleys gave you presents often. - Hagrid quickly dismissed the thanks causing Harry to focus on Naruto and walk towards her.

-Look, it's pretty… isn't it? -Harry gently lifts the cage and shows it to Naruto, who had stepped back, hesitantly he leans slightly and blinks at the owl.

- "You're still a little scary, but…" your feathers are pretty. -Naruto states with a nod making Harry smile again. -And what are you going to name him?-

-I don't know yet- The three of them start walking towards their next and final stop, Harry then asks- What would you name it? - Naruto turns his head and staggers back and forth, no one had ever asked his opinion on something like that, it was important .

The blonde with the mustache frowned and really thought about it. Harry thought that if looks could kill both his owl and he would have died from the pressure. - Shiroi ? - Naruto suggests making Harry the one who is now confused.

- What does that word mean? What language is it? Or is it a made-up word? - he asks curiously.

-White. -Naruto says simply, letting a silence pass between them, one in which Harry expected Naruto to continue. -That means: White. -

- Is that all? -Harry blinks at that and Naruto smiles nodding. -Wow it's… simple, but I understand why. -Simple? The word made the blonde pout, making Harry correct himself. -No, no, I… it's not a bad name. -He adds and watches as the mustachioed boy turns to him again.

-Then you name it. - The blonde said in the middle of her pout. It wasn't her fault, Naruto always called things by what they were, his stuffed bunny that he had in his apartment was called "Rabbit" and if it weren't for the fact that he knew that people had different names, Naruto would call them depending on how he saw them.

The conversation really came to a complete halt when they both noticed they had reached their final stop. It was a narrow, shabby looking shop with a sign over the door that read: Ollivander's: "Makers of Fine Wands Since 382 BC" while in the window a single wand could be seen resting on a purple cushion.

When the three of them had entered, a little bell rang, making Naruto jump and bristle like a kitten. Even though there was one in the other stores as well, this one was strange, because the sound was carried to the back of the store.

The place was full of shelves with lots of boxes of different colors and numbers, but otherwise it was empty except for a chair where Hagrid went to sit to wait.

Naruto felt irritated by such non-existent presence of noise in the place, even when he walked and expected the wood under his feet to creak it didn't, instead he tried to make small noises with his throat, something that sounded similar to a frog, croaking and croaking, but even then it wasn't enough.

-It itches... - She murmurs making Harry realize that he wasn't the only one whose neck was itching from the dust as Naruto brought his small hand to his neck and scratched it. Not only that, there was something that made Naruto look at one of the shelves a little further away and on the right side of the store.

-Good afternoon. - A voice had made them jump and Naruto let out a shriek raising a hand to defend himself, only to see a person behind the counter. When had he arrived? He hadn't been there when they entered, that made the blonde look at the man suspiciously.

-Hello. -Both Harry and Naruto said with their voices slightly squeaky and nervous.

The man's eyes widen and lock onto Harry, causing Naruto to turn his head slightly in confusion. "Yes, yes, I thought we'd be seeing each other soon, Harry Potter." "He knows him! This man knew... his shopping partner?" Naruto thought he needed to think of a better name, but he didn't want to assume things. "You have your mother's eyes, it seems like yesterday when she came to buy her first wand. Twenty-six centimeters long, elastic, willow. A beautiful wand for enchantments. Your father, on the other hand, preferred a mahogany wand. Ten and a half centimeters. Flexible. A little more powerful and excellent for transfiguration. Well, I said your father preferred it, but it's really the wand that chooses the wizard." But when Mr. Ollivander's gaze landed on Naruto, causing her to squirm in place, the man looked like an owl, not blinking as he stared at them with those gloomy silver eyes. "And... you?" I don't remember seeing your parents pass by my store, Sir… -

-Ah, Oh! - Naruto understood that Mr. Ollivander wanted to know her name. - Naruto Uzumaki . - She answers quickly, trying not to act too defensive and run away when the man had walked towards them.

Harry seemed to also avoid running away when the man stood in front of them both, the man's eyes had widened slightly. "Uzumaki?" It was similar to a question, but, even though it was her last name and it seemed like the question was also a question, she felt... that it wasn't like that, rather it was as if a puzzle piece was in the man's mind. "That last name, it's really curious. Very, very curious." "Curious? Could it be because of that legend that the boy mentioned in the clothing store?" But when Naruto had worked up the courage to ask, Mr. Ollivander spoke again. "I hope a suitable wand finds you Mr. Uzumaki ." By this point his face was too close to the two children, but his eyes were so firmly on Naruto's that it somehow made her feel trapped.

-Y-Yes… -She said with a squeal and relief when this kind of attention returned to Harry.

The man's gaze had softened as he looked at the scar on the boy's forehead. "I'm sorry to say that I sold the wand that did that," he said pleasantly. "Twelve and a quarter inches. A powerful wand, very powerful, and in the wrong hands… Well, if I'd only known what that wand was going to do in the world…" He shook his head and then, to Harry's relief, turned his attention to Hagrid. "Rubeus! Rubeus Hagrid! Good to see you again… Oak, eighteen inches, flexible… Was that it?"

"That's right, yes sir," said Hagrid as Harry watched Naruto stare blankly at one spot on the shelves, confused.

-Nice wand. But I suppose it was snapped in two when he was expelled- said Mr. Ollivander, suddenly stern. Naruto had been surprised by that, expelled? Wait, had Hagrid also gone to Hogwarts? He also wondered what he had done to get expelled, it must have been pretty bad, since Naruto was no angel and his pranks were pretty strong, even if in the end it was she who had ended up cleaning up said messes.

"Er, yes, they did," said Hagrid, shuffling his feet and causing the moustachioed blonde to shake her head out of her thoughts. "I've still got the pieces, though," he added.

-But you don't use them, do you? - he asked seriously.

-Oh, no, sir. - At the answer, Mr. Ollivander narrowed his eyes, doubting the words of the man with the big dark beard.

"Alright then." Ollivander had turned his gaze to the two boys, having taken a measuring tape out of his pocket. "Who goes first?" The two boys looked at each other, neither of them sure they wanted to be the first to figure out what the measuring tape was for, it was odd, what was he going to measure? Naruto turned his head slightly like a confused kitten. "Let's start with you, Mr. Potter. Hold out the arm you use with a wand." Naruto watched intently as Harry blinked a few times before muttering something like "I'm right handed so I guess…" and raising his right arm before Ollivander began to measure him. It really was as odd as Naruto thought it would be! Why did he need to measure his head to get a wand? Ollivander seemed to have noticed the confusion on Naruto's face because he explained, "Every Ollivander wand has a central core of a powerful magical substance." We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon heartstrings . No two Ollivander wands are alike, just as no two unicorns , dragons or phoenixes are alike . And of course, you'll never get as good results with another wizard's wand.

She didn't understand what a dragon was? Phoenix? Unicorn? Or what exactly a central core or magical substance was.

Also - But doesn't magic come from people? And Ah! - Naruto jumps from his spot with wide eyes, he had only blinked for a second and now the meter was measuring Harry on its own and the wand seller was standing in the distance searching through the hundreds and hundreds of boxes.

Ollivander pulls out a box, examining it. But as he does so he answers. "Of course, a muggle couldn't do magic, even if he had a wand in his hand. The core of a wand is different from the core we wizards have for magic." Ollivander shakes his head, clicking his tongue slightly before handing the box back and picking up another. "A proper core both enhances and condenses magic for the wizard to use for good or… evil ." Naruto's hairs stand up on the back of his neck at the end of the explanation, he thought he understood it, more or less except for the part about condensing. "Try this one." The wand salesman approaches Harry and opens the box, revealing a wand. Naruto began to shake his arms slightly. "Beechwood and dragon heartstrings. Ten inches long. Nice and flexible. Take it and shake it."

Harry grabbed the wand under Naruto's 'slightly' excited and anticipatory gaze and was about to shake it. Ollivander shook his head. "No. No." He took the wand from Harry's hand and went for another.

Naruto visibly deflated at that and when the action was repeated again, he stuck out his bottom lip in a pout. This was going to take forever.

-No, no... This one. Ebony and unicorn hair, nine and a half inches. Stretchy. Come on, come on, try it. - Naruto literally whinnied as he pushed his small foot against the ground, watching as the boxes full of wands were piling up on top of a chair. But when it wasn't again, Naruto crossed his arms and like a sulky kitten went and sat on the floor next to Hagrid who patted him on the back and said that it would be his turn soon, that made her jump a little from her spot and move a few inches further, he didn't seem to have noticed which was a relief for Naruto, he hadn't intended to have such a strong reaction to something like that. She fidgeted, moving her legs in front of her. - Such a difficult client, huh? Don't worry, we'll find your perfect match around here somewhere. I wonder… yes." Mr. Ollivander narrowed his eyes slightly, leaving a somewhat tenuous silence in the room, before he began to walk towards another of the far shelves and took out a box and dusted it off. When he was in front of Harry he opened the box and showed him the wand. "Why not, an unusual combination, holly and phoenix feather, nine inches, nice and flexible."

Naruto was almost expecting Harry to take his wand away from him as his eyes wandered to the shelf on the right once again, he didn't know why he was looking there, it felt strange. It was only when he saw a reddish glow out of the corner of his eye that he turned his head so quickly and saw something like fireworks coming out of the tip of the wand and a breeze pushing the boy's tangled jet black hair, revealing a scar on the left side of his forehead... a unique mark or so Naruto thought in fluffier words. Hagrid had cheered at this and Naruto followed him by clapping his hands like a seal and getting up from his place, then jumping a couple of times towards Harry and looking at the wand carefully, there was something strange but Naruto couldn't completely identify it.

- Oh, bravo! Oh, yes, oh, very good. Good, good, good… Actually, it is… interesting, very interesting. –

- What 's interesting ? -Harry and Naruto ask in unison. While Mr. Ollivander put Harry's wand in its box and wrapped it in wrapping paper

-I remember every wand I've ever sold. Every single wand. And it turns out that the phoenix tail that the feather on your wand came from gave another feather, just one more that time . And it really is quite interesting that you were meant for that wand, when it was her sister who gave you that scar . - Naruto turns his head slightly not understanding what the man was referring to, but Harry seemed to do so as he gulped, it was something he would ask him when they left the store. - Yes, eleven inches. Uh-huh. Really interesting how these things happen. The wand chooses the wizard, remember that… I think we should expect great things from you, Harry Potter… After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things… Terrible, yes, but great -

Another silence fell in the place, in an awkward way that made Naruto's heart contract until he finally raises a hand and stands on his tiptoes. - And me?! It's my turn. - He says with a high-pitched voice.

Harry seemed to use that opportunity and escape to where Hagrid was, his wand in the box and wrapped up on the counter. "Of course, raise your wand arm."

Naruto was confused until she remembered that Harry mentioned that he was right handed and if she wasn't mistaken, it meant that it was the hand you write with or hold chopsticks with. She stretched out her arm and slightly narrowed her eyes as Ollivander measured her from knee to elbow and then from wrist to shoulder, even seeming to measure her shoulders. "I never thought I'd meet someone with such a peculiar last name." "peculiar?" Naruto tried to follow him with his gaze and ask, but the man had quickly moved behind her. "It can't be a coincidence, not really." Naruto now felt like the man was talking more to himself than to her, by the way he had muttered low enough that both Hagrid and Harry couldn't hear, they themselves spoke in low voices and Harry would sometimes gently pet his new air pet through the thin metal bars.

-I don't believe in destiny, ttebayo. -Naruto still answers, shrugging his shoulders slightly. -Not everything can be simply decided... right? -She watches as the man advances and searches through the pile of boxes.

-Fate isn't written in stone, it can be altered, changed and molded, but that doesn't mean there aren't things that aren't meant to be. - Ollivander nods and walks towards Naruto. - Fine try this one, it's holly wood, 26 flexible centimeters and kneazle whiskers as its core. - Naruto stood on his tiptoes and took the wand very carefully, but he only managed to give it a shake before Ollivander tried to take it from his hand, only for the mustachioed blonde to feel the wand slip from her hand.

- Wah! - She lets out a shriek as she watches the wand crash right next to Hagrid, leaving a slight dent in the wall. She hisses softly and lowers her head. - I'm sorry. - She apologizes when she sees everyone staring at her with wide eyes.

Ollivander shakes his head and grabs the wand, looking at it with something akin to disgust. "No, no, no, definitely not. He freaked out." "Frightened? Naruto had just scared a non-living being?"

- D-did I scare her? - Naruto looked like a kicked puppy, even more when he noticed the look Harry had, his green eyes going from Naruto to the slight dent in the wall.

Mr. Ollivander didn't seem to notice Naruto's expression because he continued with a nod. "Yes and it's the first time I've seen a wand wanting to escape." After kicking the puppy, he pushed her outside into the rain. Ollivander searched the left shelf and this time when he came back he pulled it out of the box. "This one is willow, twenty-eight centimeters, flexible and with unicorn tail hair as its core." Naruto now with less confidence and reaches out to take the wand, but there was no chance to grab it, with the simple touch of the palm of his small hand, the wand shot into the air terrified had almost decapitated Ollivander.

It was five more wands, willow and seven holly with a few… minor escape disasters that Naruto finally became completely discouraged, not even one wand wanted to be with her, that really wasn't fair, "the wand chooses the wizard" was what this man had said, maybe Albus had been wrong about her and she really didn't have that thing he called magic. "I see you need a braver companion." Ollivander mutters to himself, after fixing his clothes a bit, after a wand spit fire in its escape. While Naruto ends up crossing her arms slightly sulking, before sadly looking away again in the direction of the farthest bookshelf, only for this time to hear the light clink of something.

Ollivander noticed for the first time that the girl's gaze wandered to one of the far shelves. "He's been looking at that spot sometimes for a while now." Harry said softly, not wanting to regain the attention Naruto had taken from him, moving his short legs from his place sitting next to Hagrid.

The man seemed to frown for a few minutes, as if he didn't believe it possible that Naruto was looking in that direction, but instead the mustachioed girl snaps out of her reverie and looks at Ollivander in confusion, when he finally steps forward and the large staircase moves before stopping at a fixed point. "It's certainly not a coincidence." She mutters loud enough for the others to hear.

The little whiskered girl gasps as Ollivander grabs a certain box and points at it with a finger. "That's it, that's it! That's what I was looking at." She's not sure how he actually knows that's what she was looking at specifically or how Ollivander seemed to hit the nail on the head by grabbing it straight away and brushing off a bunch of dust and cobwebs.

Even Hagrid seemed to look a little more when the shop owner approached Naruto with a box that looked old, as if it had traveled a long way across the land. "Aren't those old wands?" the huge man asks.

-Yes, yes. That's why I'm so… surprised. –

- What's so surprising about it? – Naruto ends up asking, standing slightly on his tiptoes when Ollivander opens the box.

-These wands usually prefer not to have any wizards, so they are old and ownerless wands, it is… peculiar that you seem to stare at one so intently. In fact, this wand is an older sister.

- Big sister? –At that moment Naruto stared at the long wand that was somewhat thicker and tapered at the tip, it had a beautiful shade similar to the reddish orange of a sunset, he thought he heard the tinkling again.

Ollivander was silent for a moment, seeming to think about something, before clearing his throat. "It's made of hornbeam wood, nine inches long, and has a phoenix feather core." Naruto turned his head slightly, this was the first wand Ollivander had given him that had a phoenix feather core like Harry's.

With renewed nervousness, Naruto reaches out and waits for the wand to decide to run away, but it doesn't shoot out or anything, she takes the base in her hand, it feels warm and there is a slight tapping sound coming from it. When she is sure that it won't run away like the others, she shakes it. The wind suddenly blows softly over it, it is warm and gentle and for a second Naruto thinks he sees many pastel colors paint in the air.

It wasn't fireworks like Harry's, nor was it as flashy as Naruto thought it would be, but that didn't stop his eyes from shining and exclaiming loudly. - Wow! -

- Really excellent! Bravo! – Ollivander added at the end with some applause, looking thoughtful about something, followed by Hagrid and Harry who did it more softly. But Naruto was too happy to really be embarrassed and even she clapped with her wand in her hand, just to imitate the behavior of the others unconsciously.

But more than being happy about the wand, (Which, of course, she was, it was almost orange and he had chosen her.) she was happy because she now knew that Dumbledore was not wrong about her. But when she looked back at Ollivander who seemed to have not stopped looking at her. - Is something wrong? - she ends up asking, but when Harry approached to see the wand better, she extends it, puffing out her chest to show it to the boy next to her.

-Nothing happens. - Ollivander's intense gaze calmed down, just to let him digest. - Mr. Uzumaki , I am certain that you will do impressive things with that wand. -

Naruto turns his head slightly in confusion at the man's tone as he says his last name and somewhat reluctant to return his wand back to the box, before he pouts and finally puts it back.

...

Naruto hummed happily looking at the box that held his wand, Harry seemed happy looking at his own things. "I guess it's time to get back." Hagrid says stretching as he leaves the tent behind the two boys.

- What? - Naruto snapped out of his happy reverie, turning around faster than a possum and looking at the big man with a slightly childish frown. - I don't want to go home yet. - She complains and tries to cross her arms, but she's carrying too many bags in her arms now.

- Can't we go get something to eat with Naruto, before he has to leave? -Harry also adds with a sad look, something that makes Naruto surprised, before he presses his lips together when he wanted to smile, maybe they were now...

- "No, no, no," Naruto shakes his head before realizing that he actually can't stay any longer without his grandfather figure starting to think that maybe she's being kidnapped. "I just remembered that I can't play with you," he complains, looking softly at Harry. "I was supposed to get home before it got dark."

-Oh… - Harry seemed to be discouraged by that too, as he propped up his owl's cage more firmly.

-Don't be discouraged, you can still talk while we go to the leaky cauldron and you'll see each other again. -

The three of them began to walk slowly, Naruto next to Harry and Hagrid a few steps behind him. - Ah! - Naruto remembers. - By the way, what was that about the... sister? - She tries to remember what Ollivander had said, he also mentioned something like 'older sister' when he was holding the wand that now belongs to Naruto. - Your wand... gave you that scar? - Naruto raises his hand and points a finger at the boy's forehead.

-W-Well… I was told this a little while ago, my parents died when I was a baby. - Naruto gasped and his eyes widened. - Although before I thought they had died in a car accident. - Car? Naruto turned his head slightly not knowing what a 'car' was. - It turns out that my uncles had lied to me, the ones I mentioned to you before when we talked about how we discovered magic. Turns out it was a wizard… you-know-who. - Naruto remembers that someone had said those same words, Harry approaches and Naruto is slightly startled when he whispers to him. - Voldemort . It seems that it is bad to say his name out loud or something. - Harry adds at the end, returning to the healthy distance. - He was the one who killed my parents and the one who… gave me that scar. - Harry pushes his bangs back, revealing the scar on his forehead to Naruto's sight again. - But he also mentioned things about your wand. -Harry whispers looking at the box that was now stored in the bag but lets it go and focuses back on the blonde boy again. -And you? You said you couldn't be late home because of what your parents said. -Naruto waves his arms to stop Harry from continuing and shaking his head very quickly.

-My parents too… -Harry's eyes widen and the green of his eyes becomes slightly brighter. -They died the day I was born, Hokage Jii chan said he went protecting the village. -That was the little information Naruto had about his parents, but they never let him know more about them. Harry had more questions, but it was too late when they reached the moving wall. -Oh. -The blonde also seemed disappointed when they arrived at the place, she looked like a sad puppy.

-We part ways here. - Hagrid finally joins in the conversation turning in his spot looking at Naruto, searching for something in his long brown coat before pulling out the same cards that Dumbledore had given her earlier, she grabbed them and looked as good as possible with everything she was carrying. The first one was red with a gold border and in the center was written " platform 9¾, Hogwarts Express " and the second one was simply blue.

- How do I use this? -Naruto asks raising an eyebrow.

-We don't usually enchant the ticket. - Ticket? Naruto turns his head confused. -But Professor Dumbledore made it to make it easier, although I must ask you not to mention it. - The mustachioed blonde looks even more confused. -Just focus on the card, really do it and don't get distracted. - The man seemed more serious when he said that, making Naruto straighten up and nod fiercely. -On September 1st you have to go to the station before it's ten in the morning so you can board the train. Use the ticket the same way, concentrate and don't get distracted. -

- Hai! -She exclaims, looking at him for the last time, putting away the card for the… express? Train? She's not quite sure what those things were. - Goodbye, Hagrid, Harry! -She tries to shake his hand, but the things almost fall out of her hand.

-Goodbye Naruto, I'm so glad I met you - she balanced herself to take out the card in her pocket.

When she did, she wondered how it worked, but the answer was not long in coming when she was sucked into that journey again...

…

She tripped over her feet as she appeared in the hokage's office causing everything she was carrying to fall with her -ouch! - when she raised her head she saw the hokage looking at her, the orange sky said it was about to get dark -hokage Jii chan, that was amazing! - Naruto exclaims sitting down...

-I see you saw a lot of interesting things Naruto- Turtle mentions watching as Naruto admires his wand, she shook it a little pointing at a box and shook it a little, before going back to marking Naruto's clothes.

She had bought a trunk, it was the same one that all the students carried and inside she had already stored some things like her books, but it was still too early to store more things - yes! - Naruto sits on the bed - and I met a nice boy oh, two nice boys - she smiles when turtle finishes marking her last item of clothing...

When Naruto entered the academy happily humming a little, sitting next to Chouji, he raised an eyebrow, but gave him a smile...

….

- What?! What do you mean you're leaving? - Kiba asks, Naruto tells him to lower his voice, before nodding.

- But don't you want to be a ninja? - Shikamaru asks, frowning.

-Of course I'll be a ttebayo ninja, but I also have to go to that place... I'm sorry I can't give much information, but I'll be back for a while during the winter -Kiba muttered something like this place will be boring or something like that...

The days passed and Iruka was informed two weeks before Naruto's departure, giving him time to prepare some scrolls and books that Naruto would have to learn during his stay in that place unknown to Iruka.

The teacher was worried about his most unruly student, but knowing that the Hokage had approved this trip had calmed the chunnin a little.

Naruto slurped up the noodles as soon as Teuchi placed the plate in front of the girl. "It's going to be a shame if my best client leaves." She just laughed.

-Well I'll be back for the winter for a while - she said with her mouth full before swallowing.

Iruka invited her, it was the day before Naruto left, tomorrow she would prepare her nightshirt (she only sleeps in some underwear and a t-shirt) Kiba kept saying that she would be even worse if she didn't stay, but the decision had been made and Naruto and the Inuzuka were fighting about that very thing.
