Thanks to all who have reviewed. And also to understand that it may take me some time. I'm really picky on what I write

Ariadne Vegas: As to Dobby, you also have to remember that Dobby can serve Harry's new home. His home is Konoha and also considering Harry's upbringing. I don't believe he would allow Dobby to bind himself to him with how the Dursley's treated him. Would you bind someone when you yourself have been treated like that as such a person. I know I wouldn't.

And Dobby and Winky are no servants to anyone and they did not bind themselves to another. They bound themselves to the Hokage office, so in a way they are bound to Konoha. The other elves who I had come wanted to work with those I set up. Those they believe will treat them well of their own choice.

Now as to the bank. Considering wizards are coming, they need a bank presence they are used to, and B there can be multiple banks you know. There are three different ones in my town as is. I put it so the clans and businesses who want better security like safety deposit boxes have the options of goblins. Like say the Hyuuga clan. Their branch consistently protects the estates and its secrets. Now a regular bank would not suffice, but one with Dragons? So this would free up some Hyuugas to join the Shinobi. As for security, they are warlike and have magic too. Professor Flitwick is a good example. And being magical creatures I believe there is more to them than what we think.

Now as to Konoha being unstable. If I seem offensive I do not mean to be and I apologize in advance. Did you read the chapters? I've been alluding to that and the problems at Hogwarts. In fact I am working on it even now, just as i said before action is so not my strong point

Anyway I do not own squat

Sound

Sasuke clenched his fists to the point they bled. This Harry had returned to Konoha and brought some friends with him. Orichimaru had just started informing him of what was happening in his former home. Knowing full well it was to test his bonds to the people he cared about. He said nothing and gave him the look. The Snake Sannin just grinning, left him to his own devices.

Finally able to see pictures of these wizard people in the lives of his former team. There were still some spies that came through Konoha once and a while. Recently they had captured images of these newcomers at Kabuto's request. They seem to be ordinary. That is until he gets to the specific picture of that idiot's supposed cousin. This Harry looked nothing like Naruto and yet, Sasuke could tell the two were related. It was this air about this dark haired teen that spoke volumes to him. He could also tell looking into those bright green eyes…

This Harry had power.

Crumpling up his picture and the others, Sasuke screamed in rage. Completely uncharacteristic of how he had been stoic these last few years. Seeing the pictures of Harry with his former teammates and friends, he found himself insanely jealous. Knowing the fact that this Sirius was a wizard supposedly, he held the wand he had found after a long time of searching. It was still in the room where that arch laid; it was gathering nothing but dust. Long and narrow like it was described to him, Sasuke strode over to the jail in a bad mood.

Needing anything to do to take his mind off the situation, he resolves to insist this man show him how to block the Sharingan. Once he is able to do that. His brother will not be able to use it on him. Putting him at a disadvantage.

About to enter he finds Karin exiting the jail. The red head giggling, she flustered under his gaze as she straightened herself up.

"Sasuke. What brings you here?"

Saying nothing, the red headed girl attempts to make conversation. "I was just speaking with Sirius and he was telling me stories of things he would do while he was at this school. I have to say he is pretty creative." She chuckles.

"How so?" his anger still there as evident by his tone, the red head gulped. She knew that Sasuke had taken an interest in the man. Many of the other shinobi who wandered these lands had noticed that after talking to this man for a while. Apparently the man has the ability to block the Uchiha's eyes which Orichimaru wanted to know about among other things.

Months ago, the Snake Sannin had pulled her to the side and told her to make friends and be nice to this man. Not wanting to at all considering her childhood and what was done to her. The girl found herself rejected but not because she wasn't pretty. It was simply because she reminded him of this Lily person and her husband James too much.

Curious to say the least, the teenager had asked what had happened to them. The story coming out of his lips about Voldemort and the first war where he was from. The girl learned of his friends and family. Also of their son and what happened the night they died. Learning about his godson as well. Telling the information to the Snake, Orichimaru had just smiled as he was thoughtful.

Knowing much, the man told her to continue talking to him. And well, the girl found herself liking the man. What was there not to like? Despite being a prisoner and knowing her boss, a dead one sooner or later., he was nice. Having heard her story, the man looked psst on her behalf, talking how he would have hexed them into oblivion before taking them in,

Surprised by his words, he explained the concept of the jutsus or spells as he calls them that don't need hand signs but just words and motions of the hand. He even wished he could demonstrate some for her. But considering he didn't have a wand there was only one thing he could do. Of course he never did it when anyone was around, he had told her and refused to show her. But he did not know of the snake that came in on its rounds. Very small and highly poisonous, the reptile had reported that in the man's cell was a big black dog that first night and he had gone. Ready to take the dog out the snake's senses widened as he could immediately tell by scent that the dog was the man.

Orichimaru was one of the few he could transform to a degree, they have never seen a transformation of that high a caliber. Wanting to know the man's secrets, he has yet to spill what he did to do so. It has caused her to come often as he was tortured. But apparently, the pain was nothing compared to what these Dementors from where he was from could do.

Describing them to her, Karin had freaked out a bit as they seemed like Death in her eyes. And considering that they could suck out your very life in a matter of minutes. Forcing you to endure the pain of every bad memory you ever had.

That scared her.

She never wants to run into anyone of those. She never wanted to remember those times. Noticing her freaking out, Sirius had hurriedly switched topics and made her smile with amusement. The man had felt bad for scaring her. Still telling of what she knows recently to him, it's when she notices the stick in his hands. "Is that…?"

Saying nothing else he strides past her. Guessing that it was, she knew if Sirius didn't do what he wanted. The poor man would be in for a world of pain.

Looking up as he did after lying down, Sirius became face to face with Sasuke. The teenager stared at him with a mixture of rage and pain. He asks something that shocks him to no end.

"Who is this Harry Potter?"

His eyes widen with joy for a split second once again,before a guarded expression covers his face. He says nothing, he will not say one word. But then it was too late as the youth once again summoned a snake. This one was different from the first, it looked at him malevolently with intent.

What is it my Master.

"I believe he needs a reminder of who is in charge here. There is a boy still in the village..I want you to go and kill him." Showing him the crumpled up image that he had, he was about to show it to the snake when he stopped him. Having experienced many of the snakes from the black haired bastard with yellow eyes lately. He knew this would be bad.

Thinking up something fast, he asked as he had noticed the wand in his hand. "Is that what I think it is?"

Watching as for a moment the boy gets thrown off as he looks at his wand, he gazes at it with interest. Hopefully it keeps him off his back as he stares at it with longing. The dark-haired teenager fully aware of what he was doing knew now that this Harry person meant a lot. Knowing what Karin had told him, he did not underestimate him. Sirius may be someone who interests him for some odd reason. But as he gestured for this snake to wrap around his arm, Itachi came first and foremost.

In doing so, the snake hissed with delight as he could cause pain. Normally not one called as he was still young. His young master knew he looked quite intimidating and he often got far in his interrogations.

"How do you use it?" He asked coldly.

"I just do. It acts as a focus for my magic." the man replied. His gaze was stony. It throws Sasuke off his game as the man looks at him with derision. His mind thinking, he knows somehow it has to do with his threat on this Harry person. Something to keep in mind as the wizard claims that he is, had reacted for that split second earlier with joy. Believing that the man must know this Harry personally, he gives a look of coldness.

"Teach me."

"Or what?"

"Use your imagination." He replies. His face was impassive. The man staring at him as thoughts whirled in his mind. He gave a sigh as he leaned back. "Why should I do it? I want to know the reason."

The snake hissing in aggravation, it tightened to the point of almost squeezing the arm off. Sasuke holding his hand up. It stopped as his face darkened.

"Like you seek revenge. So do I."

Looking into his eyes, the wizard speaks. Holding out his hand, his actions speaking volumes, Sirius just looks at him. "Hand me my wand."

"If you try to back out or escape. Kana there will kill you."

The snake hissing in amusement as she looks at the man she wraps around.

"Fine but prior notice Sasuke." Sirius replied. "All you have to do is push me out, but it will hurt."

"Hn."

The wizard just looked at him as he gestured for him to sit down. Getting into a comfortable position, he is suddenly hit by an intense pain right in his head as he hears one word.

"Now clear your mind….nothing in it. Focus on a wall being built."

Following his words, Sasuke does so, his mind clearing and a wall being built in his mind, He is all of a sudden hit with an intense pain in his head.

Legilmens

Surprised as he breaks free a second later, rage in his eyes. Sirius looks at him calmly. "I did warn you kid."

"Again," he replied.

"You asked for it."

The word he heard being repeated again, Sasuke felt the constant pounding on his head. Trying to shore up the walls in his mind as fast as they are being knocked down. Having to pull away many times as the pain got too much. It was almost on the level of pain that Itachi did to him years ago.

Opening his eyes, he notices the expression on the other man's face. Although extremely guarded, the teen swears he sees a hint of concern for his well being. "Listen, I won't do anything right now. It takes several sessions to bring up a strong enough wall. If I continue to do so at the moment, I can destroy your mind completely.."

Growling a little bit in rage as he wanted to keep going, Sasuke wasn't going to push it. He could tell by the man's eyes. That even Kami himself would not let him move a finger. Thinking about verbally telling the snake to go and attack this boy. He refrains from doing so. Something tells him if he did. The man would let himself die than do it anymore. His hand out, this wand as he calls it is given back reluctantly. The snake disperses back to its realm as the two look at one another in contemplation.

"What happened?" Sirius asked. His tone serious as he looks at Sasuke, the teenager says nothing. Getting up and for a moment straightening himself out he turns and walks away. Knowing as to what he is asking about he pauses at the door, he does not know why but he speaks up, "My brother, he killed our family."

Seconds pass and the man speaks up. "Someone who I thought was a friend, betrayed those who I considered mine and got them killed."

Leaving now, both teen and man don't realize that a bond was beginning to form between them.

Malfoy Manor…

Knowing full well he could take advantage of the holidays to attack. Voldemort was not completely heartless to his followers. For it allowed him to think, without having to listen to them simper and kiss his ass.

Despite being magical and hating that part of him that wasn't, the dark wizard did act like a muggle sometimes. The only one to truly see it had been Bellatrix, and the woman was so blindly devoted to him…. His rage began to darken at the loss of the witch who had been his most valued supporter.

These Shinobi, as the others had told them, were powerful. Powerful to the point that they could knock through walls, create clones of themselves and so on. Where did they get this power?

Growling in frustration, he shoots a crucio spell at an elf passing by, the little being screaming in agony he begins to savor each bit of pain. His mind relishing it all, he does not notice the slight gasp coming from nearby.

Her husband out and about Narcissa was thankful that Draco was still at school. Severus having to come and go at will. He kept her up to date on her son and what was going on. Being the only one in the promise, she and Bellatrix forced him into, the man was doing all he can to keep her son alive.

After Lucius had got the news from these easterners at Hogwarts. She promised to do her best in keeping him informed of the little things. That's one thing she has always believed in, when her husband gets involved in situations like these.

Every little thing does count…

Okay still working on the Gaara arc but Sasuke had some stuff he needed to do and the pushy Uchiha was driving me nuts in the back of my mind. Anyhow working on Gaara as I know what to do just never comes out right. Meh…

I am also working out Sasuke and Sirius's outline as well. For when that starts

Till then please my alert system is still not working and I have repeatedly told them but I think the FF devs are being a bit slow at the moment. Sighs,,,I wrote more to their fixers. But if you see me screw up or tell me your opinion as the one reviewer did. Please do it in reviews and not messages. I am not getting squat
