Hey this is going to be interesting to say the least. Now I love a good party but what happens when you throw some shinobi into the mix hmm?

BoltSamIam: We'll have to see won't we. Sasuke and Sirius will tell their stories, don't worry about that. Now Tonks has Kakashi with her so I do believe our favorite copy nin will protect her quite well. And Fleur she has Bill and of course Anko and the T and I squad on her side heh heh. That's a little one shot I might write later on. It just popped into my head right now.

But once again there are many pairings involved in this, some such as Kakashi/Tonks and Ginny/Kiba will be alluded to. But the focus will primarily be Harry/TenTen, Naruto/Hina, Ron/Hermione, and Sasuke/Sakura. Other couples will pop up here and there, one example of which is coming up.

If anyone else wants to try one of the pairings I have in mind and write a story in this world I am creating, be my guest. Just A let me know and B tell me when it's up. Or if it's a one shot, I will post it with my little one shot sub word Mine Parallels.

I don't own squat

Hogwarts, a week later

Not really looking forward to tonight, Harry gave a pleading look to his now girlfriend. Over the last couple of weeks, he and TenTen had gotten closer and well. If he was old enough in his own eyes, he would marry her right now.

"No if ands or buts Harry James Potter Uzumaki!" The brunette replied. "You are going to that party!" Twirling with a kunai as she looked at him with determination. Yes the brunette knew of what Dumbledore had asked Harry to do, and of course Hermione explained about his lack of enthusiasm for it. Harry was never one to celebrate this so-called fame of his and she enjoyed that immensely. As for people like that, who does?

They annoy the hell out of her.

"All four names yikes!" Seamus gulped. The Irishman was entertained alongside Dean. Both of them watched with snacks as they were studying. They as well as a few other lions were watching in the common room the commotion going on.

Yes, Harry and Naruto had discussed how to handle the name issues over the break. Needing to figure out the whole clan thing, talking it over with Tsunade over the holidays . It took a little while but they had figured it out. Harry would be confirmed as the Uzumaki clan head as Naruto would take over his father's on the council. Names being what they were, Harry took on the Uzumaki name while keeping his father's.

Not wanting to let the Potter or Uzumaki name die out. Knowing chakra could not be usable in everyone, if either he or Naruto were to have any pure magical children. They would be the Potters, whereas the eldest who could do both. Would become the Uzumaki and Namikaze heirs respectively.

But all three names would be associated with what they hope will become a great clan in Konoha.

In the meantime, Harry could see a fellow sufferer in Neji. The Hyuuga had dressed up much like TenTen had in their traditional wear. He was waiting for Padma who he had asked to go to the gathering with him. The Indian girl was flattered and not to mention happy about it, she needed her sister's help in getting ready. Being one of the very few non-Gryffindors allowed in their common room. The Ravenclaw and her sister were also happy to also help Hermione. Even Ginny was invited to go, of which the youngest agreed to attend alongside Hermione and Luna.

The brunette had been invited as well, and considering the one person she would have asked was taken at the moment. She had agreed to take Luna and Ginny as well

Yes, the one person that the smartest witch of their generation wanted. Was too busy hanging out with another lion. To be honest it kind of made him nauseated as well as Hermione. Lavender Brown was one of the neediest girls ever born. Wanting the Weasley boy with her all the time, Ron hadn't been able to hang out with them.

They missed their friend.

So hence Hermione was going to bring Luna. Despite her spaciness as she calls it, the blonde was a kindhearted girl who would be a good person at the little get together. (She thought about Cormac to spite Ron, but she couldn't stand his ego. And didn't want other people to suffer for it.)

"TenTen." giving him that look, he hastily becomes quiet. Even Ginny was resisting the urge to laugh as she came down alongside Parvati, behind Padma and Hermione. Lee, who was doing some push-ups. He smiled at the lion half of the twins who promptly sat on his back as they began to talk.

Helping him out in her own way, the teenager was chatting away of his day to her and her his. Genuinely interested in each other's conversation. The three girls and TenTen pulled both himself and Neji out the door. Luna was waiting for them and as she looked at Harry she smiled.

Together the small group begins to head for the dungeons. Talking animatedly amongst each other, they pause as does Luna. Her eyes seemingly unfocused for a moment, she looked at Harry and Hermione both. "5 more to go Harry," The blonde chirped. "Need a big puppy to help you get them though. But the puppy and his friend are busy now so you gotta do it later." Looking at Neji she just shakes her head and happily starts humming a tune.

Confusion to say the least, on all their features, the two shinobi look at one another and Harry. Having heard of Luna's proclivities to know some things she shouldn't, the shinobi wanted to keep an eye on her as per Tsunade's order.

Somehow the three of them know she is referencing Kiba and his dog Akamaru.

Keeping that in mind, they continue on and arrive at the dungeons. Padma is happily being taken to a seat by Neji, the Hyuuga youth giving her a gentle smile. She beamed at his chivalry which was appreciated by her and the other girls in the group. Harry himself, having escorted TenTen, did the same as he and the other girls sat down. Other students from houses join them, soon they are sitting around a table set up.

All around them pictures of famous witches and wizards that they took a look at. Harry couldn't help but pause at a picture of his mother. Pointing her out to TenTen, the brunette smiled as she leaned toward him, taking his hand in her own as his eyes mist over for but a moment.

"She was the smartest witch of her generation you know. Never seen a student so dedicated to charms and potions like she was." Professor Slugworth stated as came up behind them. The man gives a smile as he places a hand on Harry's shoulders.

"Was she that good?" TenTen asked. The girl instinctively knows what is on Harry's mind as he stares at the picture. Pulling his attention back with a squeeze. Slugworth nods her head with a jovial gaze.

"Indeed, I remember a time when Lily, in order to stop certain students from causing trouble in my classroom, she was quick on the draw with her charms and hexes. And her skills with any potions was phenomenal. Only other student to that level was Severus, if I remember correctly." He replies. A smile on his lips in memory as he heads towards the table himself.

"Come come let us speak of your future."

Seeing as heads over to sit down, Harry smiles at TenTen who has grasped his hand. She had seen his eyes filled with sadness. Even though the pictures back in Konoha allowed him to speak with his parents. It still wasn't the same as being able to hug them.

"Thanks." He whispered as the others matched her concern. "I'm good."

"Harry…I believe I have some copies of that picture and a few others with your mother if you would like." Slugworth stated. The older man noticed that they empathized with the boy. He himself as well. "I shall take a look through my albums for them."

"Thanks Professor." Harry smiled. Even though the older man sought connections and fame, he was offering more of what he had. Knowing soon he will have to see about getting the info, he made a promise to do so after the dinner was done.

An hour later

Laughter coming around as some of the other students speak of their plans and so forth. They finally start to reach Harry and his small group. Looking towards Neji first, the Hyuuga looks steadfast as he waits.

" I do believe you and Miss TenTen here are the first Shinobi I have ever met. What exactly is it that you do?"

The leader of team 9 looks steadfast as he speaks. "We protect the village and the Fire Lord." The teen replied.

"Is that all?"

"No." TenTen smiled as she stated. "We do other things as well. But only the Hokage decides what we do."

"Who is this Hokage?" A fellow student asks. Having heard many things, he wanted to get the exact wording to relay to others.

"The best shinobi in our village." The girl replies happily. "I hope to be as strong as her one day. Sakura is her main apprentice though."

Fear popping into both Harry and Neji, the others look confused to say the least. Hermione is the only one who really knows besides Padma and TenTen, who giggles. The girls have heard of Tsunade's strength and leadership abilities. The others envied her and TenTen for having met this formidable woman.

"Miss Granger?"

"Let's just say, unlike one of Harry's teachers there, you do not want to get on her bad side."

"Do tell?"

Wanting to hear about this person Harry sighs, as he explains about Jiraiya and his tendencies. Hearing of the fact that the Hokage literally could punch him clear across the village.

"Surely he was put in the hospital after that?" Slugworth asked with concern.

Shaking his head no, the golden boy looked thoughtful as he tried to find the proper words. But holding up his hand, Neji answers for him.

"As we train, the chakra within us enhances our body and form. It only grows as we work and get older. Doing so makes our bodies harder to hurt, to even kill. It is why when they test us, they start us as young as 5. By the time we are 12 we are ready to do missions and defend our village."

"What are these missions like?" Asked one of the Slytherins. Genuinely interested in more than one reason. The others nod their head. This time TenTen speaks as she leans into Harry. The brunette smiling and taking in his warmth, the girl answers the question to the best of their ability.

We really can't tell you the details of what we do, but they are ranked by A,B,C,D,S

D rank is easy, mostly genins do it. I

C rank Genins can do it, but they are a little harder so chunnins which is what Lee and I are can do those if assigned.

B rank Chunnins and Joinins do the work. Neji is a jounin right now. But no genins at all. There have been cases where they have done higher, but it was usually when it goes south as Naruto and Sakura had a C rank that turned A on them when they were genins.

A and S. Jounins and Specialists only

"Interesting." Slugworth states as he looks at the group curiously.

Conversations going once more as some of the other students start asking TenTen and Neji questions. TenTen grips his hand as he looks towards Slugworth. The older man chatting with Hermione at the moment, he thinks back to the first potion he made in his class. Having had no book as he didn't expect to be in it due to his grade. It seemed that Slugworth accepted his grade unlike Snape.

Rushing down to the potions room dragging Ron behind him, he found TenTen looking at him curiously alongside Hermione. Not taking the class directly but curious anyway she waved at him and pointed to a couple of seats beside them. Sharing a book with the witch he had to grab his own from the used, he came across one that was strange.

Property of the half-blood Prince

That book won him a Luck potion, that the professor handed to him, and he has so far yet to use it. His instincts telling him now was not the time, he pauses as the being inside him speaks up.

We need to talk with Luna

Why?

The girl is not telling us something

Gazing at the blonde girl who gazes at him knowingly, next thing he knows he is in his mindscape where the cage sits. His own mind was a sewer similar to his cousins. They both had assumed that it was relative to his childhood as well. But both as they approached the cage were getting cleaner. The new memories taking over the old ones.

"So, this is your mind, Harry." Luna stated much to his surprise. "Had a bad childhood, didn't you?"

"How?"

Just smiling, she starts skipping merrily. Her feet are light and delicate as he follows her. They come across a cage that he sees for the first time. Before the Fox always talked to him mentally but to see him for real it was a whole other story.

A darker red than the one in Naruto, its eyes just looked at him and the blonde with knowledge of many years.

Nice to see my jailor in person

Just in awe of the size alone in his mind, he fails to notice as Luna gestures for the fox's head to come down. About to stop her when he does notice, she reaches out and scratches it behind its huge ear. Moving up and down on her tiptoes the girl is amused as its many tails start to move in bliss.

"There you go." She chirped, "I know that has been bothering you for a long time."

Indeed

Beaming with exuberance, Luna looks at both of them with a smile. "You know, watch for the hawk with red eyes. He doesn't know he is really infested with nargles."

Puzzled to say the least it is the Kyuubi who tilts his head in understanding. Listening even more so, she gazes at Harry and smiles. "So it's not 5 but 4." Grinning as she looks at the fox. "Was it a good snack I wonder."

The fox just chuckles in amusement at her question. Looking over at him, her face thoughtful, she speaks once more. "Two for 1 and 1 for all Both intertwined, each not alone." She giggles. "Fate sure has weird ways. But okay. It's time to go now, if you will please Kurama."

Startled at her knowing his name he still does as she requests and pushes both out. Each returning to some semblance much to the worry of the others. Luna just smiles serenely and looks for the pudding.

"Harry?" TenTen and Hermione ask in unison. Padma and Neji are curious as well. He just stares at them confusedly before shaking his head. "I'm fine…just can't explain it right now. I have to write Naruto and the Hokage though."

Looking at him in understanding that something happened, they return to eating as the little party was wrapping up. Harry looking at Slugworth, he makes a promise to confront the man later. Ideas already coming into his head on how to handle it. Taking one last look at the picture of his mother, he heads out with TenTen. Right now he has a couple of things to write.

The next day

Having sent the letters off with Hedwig last night, he was waiting for a response. What Luna had said was cryptic and he knows it has something to do with him and his cousin. The blonde had previously written to him, about how bored he was now that he, Hermione, and the Weasleys weren't there. It made him chuckle a little bit as he had also stated that the red headed family made him feel like he was part of them.

That made them happy. Especially the twins, Fred and George had in their own way adopted Naruto as their brother and apprentice. Some of his ideas were already in the works according to George. Knowing his cousin, he was honestly nervous about what the tricky duo could come up with.

Lost in thought as he was preparing to go to Hogsmeade with TenTen and the others. In the common room, he is startled as Hedwig returns, but she isn't alone. Seeing Naruto, Sakura and another boy with them. The wizard teen smiles as he spots the blonde who approaches him.

But it was at that moment something happened that he did not expect.

A puff of smoke once more happens and that is when he sees a snake. A very large snake that takes up half the room. With wings on either side of him, the snake seems to be studying him before he speaks.

So you are the speaker

Confused as to what's going on, Naruto approaches him as he makes a bow to the snake. Whispering in his ear what was going on, the dark-haired boy bows in respect to the being in front of him. His parseltongue comes in handy at the moment as he speaks it unconsciously in response.

Yes

It has been a long time since I have heard a human speak our language. The last one to do so was many years ago. What is your name?

It is Harry Potter-Uzumaki

I am Quezacoatal, Emperor of Snakes. I wish to have you sign a summons contract.

Startled to say the least, Harry is confused as he thinks to himself. Forgive me your majesty, but I do not have the ability to do so. I am not trained.

For this you do not have to be trained. The snake replies. One long ago whose presence I feel in these walls once attracted my attention. He I can sense is long gone but his power although faint resides in these walls.

Do you mean Salazar Slytherin?

That was his name indeed. He was one whom I often talked with about things. I advised him many times on many issues and he did the same for me. If you sign this you will be able to summon my kind to aid you when you need it.

A scroll coming out of its mouth, falls onto the table and unfurls. Seeing the names of previous men and women, he looks to Naruto for better understanding.

The blonde, knowing what to do he spoke up as he was a summoner for the Toads. "Harry, if you sign it you gain the ability to summon the Snakes. They themselves will tell you what you need to do. But keep in mind they like all summonses may require something to bring them here. If you do not have it they can get mean fast. It is the same if you do not need them and summon them anyway. I have seen Pervy Sage do that with Gamabunta and boy that wasn't pretty."

The toad summoner speaks true. But in your case, I can make an exception. I wish to speak with you sometimes and would not mind your summoning as would others. But there are those who will demand things… Manda is one such being but you need not worry about him. He is already part of a summons.

Okay, I can do that your majesty.

You may call me Quetzalcoatl

Thank you.

Naruto explaining how to sign, the wizarding teen grabs the pen provided by Naruto. Signing his name, he is provided a kunai by TenTen. The girl, wondering what was taking so long alongside Neji, had come in in the midst of their conversation. Understanding what was happening, she knew he needed blood to finalize it.

Pricking his finger and giving his thumbprint he felt a rush of power envelop him all of a sudden. The scroll once again rolling up, he looks at the Snake emperor who nods his head in approval.

As you know my name, simply call it and I will come. There is one other name I will tell you. Her name is Matsuri. I would advise you to do it soon and outside so that she may know you. Unlike myself she does not have the magic from a bond yet.

Disappearing after that statement, the winged snake leaves a lasting impression on the small group of teens. All of them looking at one another, they proceed to head outside of the castle. Stopping by to alert Gai, they are followed by him and Hedwig to the quidditch pitch. Having seen Manda before, Naruto figured the quidditch pitch would be big enough for the summons.

Relaying the news to Hermione and others, most of the students from the DA came along. Some are curious, others like Malfoy wanting to just spy on them. Some changes their minds and returned while other, after seeing Naruto and Sakura from before. They felt safer around the teens of the East.

"You ready Harry?"

Looking at the blonde, the teen nods his head with determination. Pricking his finger and letting the blood drop, he speaks up. "Matsuri I summon you."

What emerged would be one for the record books in the wizarding world. Teachers and students alike were just in shock at the mere size of the being that came forth. Over 300 feet long if it was to stretch out was what could only be described as an enormous python. Harry and Naruto both on top of its head, the snake sensing them allows them both to slide down its sinuous neck to take a look.

This one has the scent of Toads about him. But you do not. The snake states in parseltongue So you are the speaker our people have spoken of. Why is it that you call me.

It was suggested by your emperor who told me your name, Harry python's jeweled eyes spinning, she looked straight into his green ones. Interesting young one, that old snake knows of my tastes and demands. Do you have what it takes to pass my test?

That's when he feels her slithering through his mind as if searching for something. He can even feel her deep in its recesses checking things out. Knowing she finds the fox when he hears it greeting her, the voices in his head become silent. Almost as if blocking, he is soon pushed out and the snake looks at him with a mixture of amusement.

You have gone through many things as a young one and your friend has told me of the potential he sees in you. And the magic inside you is appetizing to say as well. But he has told me of your plight here. Why must I help you and not this other?

Thoughtful on how to respond, Harry finds himself shaking his head. I cannot answer that Ma'am, it is your choice to do as you will. But I would think that I seek to preserve all life that lives whether wizard, shinobi, or muggle. Everyone has a right to be who they are.

Listening to the answer, the large snake gives what one would call a hiss of approval. And if I was to ask for someone's life as my tribute to summon me?

I could not do it. I value life. I do not wish to kill anyone unless I had to and even then, it would be a last resort that I do not want to take.

The snake seems amused at his answer. The jeweled eyes seemed to almost be smiling at his response. One more question, what makes you think I won't kill you right here and now?

Surprised by this question, the wizard knows he has to be careful. Naruto in that brief time he had talked to him, he had also done a quick explanation that unless he was on good terms with the summons. They must be respectful.

I believe you would have done it already if you wished to. You easily could have done it if you wanted and yet you did not. I also remembered what you had said earlier that my magic was appetizing. I think you feed on magic

You are smart and wise as you have listened to my words. You pass my test young Harry, those who feed on magic like me shall be at your service.

Hissing what sounds like a spell, the giant snake hits him with a gaze and he hears many types of greetings and introductions deep in his mind. All of them planted so that he remembers he gives a smile and bows in respect to Matsuri.

I thank you and yours for allowing me to call upon them and yourself should I need it.

You are most welcome young Harry and like the Emperor has said it has been a long time since we have had a speaker call upon us. I would not mind a summons to converse once in a while.

I would be honored to.

That said, the enormous python disappears in a huge puff of smoke. Naruto approaches, the blonde looks at his cousin with curiosity. "Everything ok?"

"I passed." He replied. "I passed so I can summon her and her kind." Surprise and a congrats emanating from the blonde and pink haired girl, it is the third that approaches him now curious.

"Sai don't even think about it." His cousin and Sakura shouted as everyone watched. The youth said something that makes the two leap at him. They are stopped as both Lee and Gai catch them in midair much to the amusement of the others. Even Hedwig and Fawkes were letting out chirps of laughter as both struggled to get free and murder their teammate in irritation.

But there were others there who began to shake with anger and fear as they had heard Harry's words. Among such people was Pansy, still angry over the death of her father by one such as the Shinobi. Seeing that enormous snake bow down to the golden boy was enough to make her furious. The dark lord will hear about this from her for sure. Most of the other Slytherins already in with him, she was the one in charge now.

Having been tasked to keep an eye on Draco until he completes his mission, the girl was doing her job but even she was curious about what was going on. Having seen the Gryffindor come out with that blonde, she knew she had to see. And what she saw will definitely pique his interest. That snake should belong to him, not Potter.

Flouncing away, she pays no heed to Neji. The Hyuuga's Byakugan had seen her energy as most of the others had left. He knew what she was set to do already. Draco had told them about her 'job' enough to figure she was a spy. So some things were set to be false information on purpose. Not to mention it helped the Malfoy heir. He was relieved of some pressure as Neji was powerful enough to keep a clone distracting her as it went about some business.

Thus allowed the Malfoy heir to relax a bit and with his help they were almost done with the cabinet. Waiting now for a time to finish it, Neji and the others would watch and wait till hopefully many of the students were asleep or safe. Snape, aware of what was going on to a degree, nodded his head as he was not told certain things for his own protection.

To give himself plausible deniability under Voldemort.

Even then they were prepared to act, should the dark wizard find out. It seems that the Hyuuga medtech who came just the week before was able to stop the dark chakra in Dumbledore's arm. It would take routine sessions in The Konoha hospital, and he was okay with it. Hence the aurors with their Hyuuga partners would be stationed in the castle when things were ready.

It was hoped that this time…no one would die.

888888888888888888888

Okay this took a while to write. I was really arguing with Slugworth who didn't want to talk. But I won. Heh heh AND remember folks this is NOT CANON. I do have plans for Matsuri and them to get involved
