Then June arrived….

"I failed the exam again"

"Well, it's no surprise anymore."

"I guess you're right, what is he doing here if he can't do anything right?"

People always made fun… Naruto didn't understand that he was wrong with her…. He understood what the teacher was saying, he understood what her classmates were talking about, she simply couldn't put the words together correctly and... She was having a hard time understanding something she had never been taught before.

In anbu they don't teach you "history of Konoha", they teach you how to disinfect when a limb is cut off.

In Anbu they don't teach you taijutsu since she grew up in Anbu, she didn't enter of her own free will, no one thought to explain that to her.

In anbu…. They educate your body for little food…. An education that he lived since he was a baby….

That's why I didn't understand the grades on their exams…. Maybe she was just stupid…. Yes " stupid Naruto Uzumaki"

Naruto opened her eyes feeling tired in the middle of the morning, she took a deep breath and reminded herself that thinking about the words of her academy classmates would not help her at all.

-Wow -Naruto doesn't lift his head from the potions book and takes notes on each of the recipes -I never thought I'd see you here so early, mongrel -Draco sat next to Naruto -Why so nervous? -Naruto rolled his eyes. Draco knew perfectly well why she was nervous. The boy ran a hand over his neck as if he wanted to refuse to speak before sighing and giving Naruto a hard look. -We're going to make a forgetfulness potion for the final exam. -Naruto. He looked horrified at Draco, before grabbing him by his robes and shaking him.

-that! a-a potion of o-oblivion? I'm terrible at that one - the last time I tried there was an explosion.

"It wouldn't be so horrible if you had a little more brains," Naruto growls at Draco before looking for the right page this time before realizing a detail.

-Draco –

- Malfoy -Draco corrects Naruto, but she never pays attention to him.

-How did you know what the exam was going to be about? -The boy shrugs his shoulders, refusing to tell Naruto...

Then that same Thursday the potions exam began.

-Anyone I see opening any book will have points deducted from their house and anyone who fails to pass my exam will have extra time in the afternoon -To say that Naruto's heart was in his throat was an understatement.

She breathed and saw the ingredients - "well, well let's start with 2 drops of water from the Lete River " -Naruto noted the procedure by grabbing the bottle and pouring the correct amount of drops, then he used his wand to heat the cauldron slowly, when he felt a hand on her arm she raised her head Draco had moved the hand that Naruto had his wand away and she remembered it no more than twenty seconds she almost hurt him on the second step.

"Something's wrong, Mr. Malfoy," Snape asks and Draco denies and returns to his own potion.

Naruto was nervous like everyone, Professor Snape was literally breathing down their necks asking how the procedure was going making faces as if to say is that okay?, scaring them even more.

At that moment she wanted to be with Cedric and he would calm her down and guide her, but now it was just her and her cauldron - "2 sprigs of valerian and stir it 3 times clockwise" - after that she waved her wand over your cauldron

Now he only had to wait for the second part of the exam, he watched as Snape checked his cauldron before stepping back...

When she finished the second part and waved her wand over the cauldron, she panicked when the mixture didn't turn orange, before a small puff resounded from her cauldron and turned orange - I did it! -some people had already finished and she had screamed out of instinct, proud of her work.

Snape approached and looked at the cauldron, taking out the spoon and checking, before reviewing Naruto's notes - you can leave, Miss Uzumaki - the girl breathed a sigh of relief, believing she had passed…

-I felt like I was going to vomit -Ron mentions feeling his stomach.

-Professor Snape was drowning me with his gaze -Harry shudders and Naruto who now walks beside him totally relaxed, the pressure was gone and done.

The rest of the exams were going well for Naruto and she even felt very relaxed when she made a pineapple dance, laughing when she saw it, and she also did a very good job transforming the mouse into a tea box.

And when Snape reluctantly gave her his A which was an OK, she jumped happily causing Snape to scold her again, but that didn't stop her from shaking her legs in her seat.

-Draco! -Naruto shouted when he saw him, stopping a few steps in front of him, Draco raised an eyebrow at the paper that Naruto put in front of his face -look!, look! It was an A, an A! –

-And what does that matter to me? -Inwardly Draco was impressed, but on the outside he kept his mask of seriousness.

-That you helped me! It was great and -Naruto stopped his happy tirade when a pretty smile made his eyes shine -thank you -that was all he said before saying "I'll stop bothering you and I'll leave."

Draco was frozen, he had already seen a bit of that smile, but it was never for him, it was always for Potter or Granger or anyone else, never for him, he took a deep breath - you're an idiot - it was the only thing he said before return to his companions Crabble and Goyle…

Although now they knew that the traitor could be the one who sold the dragon to Hagrid, but that doesn't answer who Voldemort was working for.

And Naruto is stubborn and warned his classmates not to say anything to Professor McGonagall, but who listens to the blonde with the whiskers.

"I don't know if this is a good idea, Harry," Naruto whispers while they wait for Ron and Hermione. Naruto was wearing the orange tunic sweatshirt they gave him for Christmas, black pants, and ninja shoes.

-I'm surprised you say that, Naruto, you're usually the most impulsive of the group -Naruto pouted, which made Harry cover his mouth with a hand to avoid laughing.

-w-well, p-she might be a bit impulsive ttebayo -Harry was confused again by the pronouns, before finally daring to ask.

-Why do you always change the way you refer to yourself? -Naruto raises a confused eyebrow -sometimes you say impulsive and other times impulsive-

-Well, always, some treat me as a girl and others as a boy, my way of speaking only adapts to how my tongue pronounces the word, don't pay much attention to it -Naruto finishes his explanation, but that leaves another doubt in Harry.

-Why do people treat you as a girl? -Naruto lets out a chuckle.

-That's more so when they know my biological gender -Harry didn't seem to catch it -Harry biologically I'm a girl, although I don't care about gender -The boy who lived thought he was going to have a heart attack, he was speechless, he was with Naruto for more or At least nine months and until now he had discovered that, the girl laughed at his expression.

-Who knows? -Harry asks and before Naruto answers he asks another question -is it a secret? –

"What? No, of course it's not a secret, people don't ask those questions and that's fine, but I never hide it, Ttebayo, and most of the teachers, some of the staff, the twins, Hermione know it." Harry looked where he was. there was the girls' room, somewhat resentful that the girl had not told him -Albus Ojii chan and you, I think that's all of them, although I can't be sure... -

When we saw that Neville was sitting in the chair in front of the hidden fireplace, Naruto cleared his throat - and I think Neville - the boy blushed a little, understanding the comment.

-I can't let them go! -Neville exclaims -we have already lost a lot of points and y-if they leave I will -Neville looks at Naruto who is wearing an amused smile at the nervousness of his friend -I will have to face them -

When Hermione casts the spell and Neville falls to the ground petrified, Naruto gives his friend a dirty look - it's okay - Hermione sighs, looking away from those blue eyes that judged her too much.

Naruto led the safest path, knowing perfectly the route of the prefects who were patrolling that day and with the invisibility cloak it was even better -and you look at me as if I were problematic, you know the path of each prefect -Naruto lets out a "shhh " to Hermione.

-There are times when Snape likes to wander around from time to time and Filch's cat can smell us and hear us -Hermione mutters "too ready to escape" and Naruto answers "always."

The door-opening spell was not Naruto's strong suit... okay, it never worked, he barely moved if she tried.

"If they eat me... avenge my death," Naruto said dramatically, receiving a nudge from Ron. "Ouch," she said, looking at her freckled companion.

"Snape got there first, there's a spell on the harp," Harry whispers.

-there under his middle paw -Hermione mentions.

Naruto approaches only to retreat a little at the big dog's breath -Naruto -Ron says nervously as he sees how Naruto slowly takes the paw and raises it a little, surprising the remaining three with his strength, she was the smallest of the group, When it was out of the way Naruto raised the hatch.

"Ready now ba" Harry didn't finish as a little drool fell on Ron's clothes, Naruto gulped as he raised his head and looked at the big dog.

-let's go! -Naruto jumped first, followed by Harry and Hermione, Ron was the last to dare.
