Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be going right to Halloween, with Naruto and Hermione learning the significance of the holiday for the Magical World. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
October 31st
Entry 4:
The first couple weeks at Hogwarts, have been pretty good, I've learned a lot about magic, along with learning more about Magecraft and less known types of magic, like Sword Magic and Alchemy. Hermione and I also learned about something called "Servant Summoning", we're not sure what it is exactly, only that it requires some kind of artifact for the summoning.
Though while I've been learning more, now I have to constantly look over my shoulder, because now, the entire castle knows what happens, when someone touches my whickers, all thanks to Tonks. But I made sure to drag her down with me, now everyone knows her name is Nymphadora!
It was worth it, no matter what she does next.
There was also an incident, where Hermione and I were almost eaten, after accidently stumbling on a giant Cerberus on the Third Floor Corridor. It also seemed to be guarding something, as it was standing on a trap door, but we figured it wasn't any of our business, and was only for the teachers to know, so we simply put it out of our minds, and continued on.
Afterwards, things continued on as usual, but we also managed to get up to the top of our classes, as I actually showed to be pretty good at learning spells. While Hermione was able to remember everything and answer any questions. Though this also led to her developing a rivalry with Daphne Greengrass, the girl we met at Diagon Alley, and a Slytherin, who is also at the top of her classes.
We've also had our first Flying Lesson, which went rather smoothly, until Neville fell off his broom, and would have hit the ground, if Professor McGonagall hadn't saved him. Before taking him to the Hospital Wing, to be looked over, just in case, and to calm down. But while they were leaving, I noticed Quirrell standing behind a pillar, like he was hiding, and didn't see him try to save Neville.
It was strange, and suspicious, that Quirrell was just standing aside, and would have watched a student be injured, possibly die, from how high up we were. I also noticed that he didn't seem as jittery, as he is in class, looking calm and collected. Which only seems more suspicious, if Quirrell is putting on an act, of being scared of his own shadow.
I don't know what, but I feel like something else is going on, with Quirrell's strange behavior, and possible act, along with whatever that dog is guarding. I'll stay out of it, for now, so I can wait and see what else happens.
Naruto and Hermione couldn't deny their confusion, as they walked through the castle on Halloween day. Both feeling a depressing aura suddenly appear, both Gryffindors immediately noticing it, when they went down for breakfast, and saw that the Great Hall was unusually quiet, even the teachers at the Head Table weren't saying anything. With Hagrid even looking ready to burst into tears.
Confused by the solemn behavior, Naruto and Hermione went up to Hagrid, when breakfast ended, to see if they could find out, what was going on.
"Hello Hagrid." Hermione greeted, stopping the large Gatekeeper, as Hagrid looked at them with tear-filled eyes.
"Oh, Hermione and…Naruto, right? What can do fer you two?" Hagrid said, while wiping his eyes,
"Yeah, that's right. And we wanted to ask you what was wrong? Everyone just seemed…unusually quiet, this morning." Said Naruto, with Hagrid looking at them in confusion, before remembering they were Muggleborns.
"Ah, right, yer both Muggleborn, aren't ya. I suppose you wouldn't know." Said Hagrid, which only made them even more confused.
"Know what?" Hermione asked, as Hagrid took a shaky breath.
"It a…it happened ten years ago, today, when You-Know-Who w-went an-and killed the P-Potters, leaving their son, H-Harry, an orphan. B-but that isn't th-the worse that happened…" Hagrid said, as he began telling the two Gryffindors of the Halloween Night ten years ago, of what happened to Voldemort and the Potters, along with what happened to Harry Potter, at the hands of his relatives.
It shocked, horrified, and disgusted Naruto and Hermione, to hear what happened. For a one-year-old to lose his parents, and nearly be killed, only to end up an orphan and left with his abusive relatives, where he ended being killed by them. The two now realizing why Magical Britain was starting to separate itself more from the Muggle World, given what happened to the Boy-Who-Lived.
Along with seeing why they had more respect for Muggleborns, due to Lily Potter's actions, and her part in helping defeat Voldemort, and willingly giving her life, so her son could live. Only for that sacrifice to be in vain, when he was killed by her own sister and her husband.
Naruto and Hermione couldn't help, but pity the woman, who gave her life, so that her son could be safe from any threats. Only for that same protection to be corrupted, leading to Harry being killed by his relatives.
"Do you want some company, Hagrid?" Hermione asked, seeing the Gatekeeper was really depressed and saddened, when talking about what happened, making them think he knew the Potters and was close to them, making their deaths even harder.
"No, no, it's alright, but thank ya, both of you. Besides, I wouldn't want ta be the reason you two missed any of yer classes." Said Hagrid, while wiping his eyes.
"You sure?" Said Naruto, with Hagrid nodding, while smiling at the two, glad to see such kind-hearted students.
"I'm sure. Now off with ya both, wouldn't want to get detention, now would ya." Hagrid said, with Naruto and Hermione nodding, before going to their classes, waving at Hagrid, as they did so.
As they walked to their first class, both Muggleborns couldn't help, but notice that the depressing mood around the castle was now around them, as well. Understandable, given they just learned an infant child was neglected and killed by his own relatives, after having lost his parents, when he was only a baby.
"So, what're you planning to do for today, besides going to the feast tonight?" Naruto asked, wanting to talk about something, anything, just to get their minds off of what they had learned.
"I was thinking of going to the library, to look up more information on Elements and Origins, along with learning a few more Magecraft Spells. What about you?" Hermione asked, eager to learn more about Magecraft, while curious of Naruto's own plans.
"I might do the same. Gandr was a pretty fun spell to learn, and I'm hoping to learn more." Said Naruto, with Hermione nodding in agreement.
Gandr was the first Magecraft Spell, the two learned since it seemed like a simple enough spell to learn. With it working by simply pointing their index finger at the intended target, as long as it was within their field of vision, and fire it a target to decrease their physical health. And the more Mana they put into a Gandr, the stronger it becomes, even capable of knocking someone unconscious, if it's powerful enough.
"Good, as long as you don't try pulling any tricks." Hermione said, giving Naruto a pointed look, with the Uzumaki merely grinning, knowing what she meant, the prank he helped the Weasley Twins pull at the beginning of the year, along with the prank war between them.
*Flashback*
Three days after the Weasley Twins asked for his help, in their Beginning-of-the-Year Prank, Naruto sat at the Gryffindor Table during breakfast, smirking. A smirk the twins shared, as they watched everyone eating breakfast, though none of three touching their own food, or drinks.
The ones who saw the Weasley Twins smirk were wary, knowing such looks usually were followed by widespread chaos. Though by the time the students began taking notice, it was too late.
Not a moment later, almost all of the students faces began turning bright red, as they began panting from their mouths starting to suddenly burn. This being due to the powdered Caroline Reaper peppers in everyone's food, courtesy of Naruto, after being told where the kitchen was. Thankfully, the peppers were diluted, so no worries of anyone being hurt, from how hot they were.
Though the peppers still burned, with everyone immediately grabbing their drinks and downing them, in an attempt to cool off their mouths. This, however, caused several different affects to happen to the students.
Some of them turning completely different colors, or even multiple colors, some to start singing or dancing uncontrollably, others to blow up like balloons and float to the ceiling, others to grow fur, feathers, or scales, and some became completely frozen statues, or began breathing actual fire, whenever they opened their mouths.
These were thanks to the various potions the Weasley Twins put in everyone's drinks, nothing harmful, and would ware off, in a few hours.
Naruto muffled his laughter, seeing the results of the prank, along with now seeing that he now has way more materials to use, in addition to what he already has.
Only for the blonde to frown, when he saw his skin and clothes were turning bright yellow with blue spots. Looking, Naruto saw the twins were now smirking at him, showing they were the ones responsible.
'Now it begins.' Naruto thought, knowing the prank war has started, and they had no idea what they've unleashed onto themselves.
*End Flashback*
After that, Naruto and the twins spent a few weeks going back and forth between their pranks. Naruto managing to get them several times, using Muggle methods of pranking, that they weren't familiar with. While Naruto was still learning about the Magical methods, making it interesting to see who would come out on top, but not so interesting for those that got caught in the crossfire.
Though it came to an end, when Naruto pulled his ultimate prank on the twins.
*Flashback*
Naruto smirked, as he sat with Hermione in the Gryffindor Common Room, while around them, the other Gryffindors looked in shock and disbelief.
The reason being, the Weasley Twins walking into the Common Room, their robes a bright neon pink, with the words "I'm with stupid" written on the back and arrows pointed at the other twin, their heads were completely shaven, each step they took showed something incredibly sticky on the bottom of their shoes, making it difficult to walk, and they were both cradling their crotches.
Soon they managed to make it across the room, and promptly fell to their knees, in front of the smirking Naruto.
"We surrender…" Fred said in a high-pitched tone.
"…For the love of Merlin…" Said George, in the same high-pitch voice.
"Show mercy." The twins begged, as Naruto chuckled wickedly, knowing they had encountered his entire prank.
It had started out the night before, when Naruto managed to slip a Sleeping Drought into their food and drinks, ensuring that they wouldn't wake up, no matter what. After that, he had snuck into their room, and went to work.
First having completely shaved their heads, before putting a mix of glue and taffy in their shoes, while coating the bottom of them with molasses, making it so they couldn't take them off, and have them stick to the ground. Along with covering the entire floor in marbles and mousetraps, before finally leaving.
Though that wasn't the end, as Naruto had made sure to memorize their schedules, and knew today, they had Quidditch Practice. And while the team was out practicing, Naruto snuck into the locker room, switching out their usual robes for the pink ones, along with leaving one final surprise in their lockers. With it being a pair of crossbows, loaded with arrows, that had boxing gloves at the end, set to be released, when the lockers were opened, hitting the twins right in their crotches.
All of this combined, was enough for the Weasley Twins to surrender, and know when they were outmatched.
"They always surrender in the end. Just be glad that I didn't use my corncob prank on the two of you." Naruto said, smirking, as the other Gryffindors now looked at him in slight fear to see he was able to out prank the twins, while Fred and George felt like they had really dodged a bullet, for some reason.
Though Hermione looking at Naruto, before sighing
"Boys." Muttered Hermione, as she went back to her book.
*End Flashback*
"Don't worry, they learned what happens, when they challenge the king." Naruto said, with Hermione sighing, but is willing to admit that some of Naruto's pranks were pretty funny.
"Of course, now let's get to class." Said Hermione, as the two proceeded to their first class.
*Later*
Eventually it was time for Charms Class, with them learning the Levitation Charm, Wingardium Leviosa. The students were also partnered up, Naruto with Neville and Hermione with Ron Weasley.
"Now, don't forget that nice wrist movement, we've been practicing! Swish and flick, remember, swish and flick. And saying the magic words properly is very important, too, never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said 's', instead of 'f', and found himself on the floor, with a buffalo on his chest." Squeaked Professor Flitwick, perched on top of his pile of books, as usual.
Naruto managed to get feather to levitate, after a few moments, with Neville trying afterwards, and soon managed to get it.
"Oh well done Mr. Uzumaki, Mr. Longbottom." Flitwick said, with the two boys nodding, as they made their feather float around.
Glancing at where Hermione was sitting, Naruto frowned at seeing Ron waving his arms around.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" He shouted, waving his long arms, like a windmill.
"You're saying it wrong." Said Hermione, after a few moments.
"It's Wing-gardium Levi-o-sa, make the 'gar' nice and long." The girl lectured.
"You do it, then, if you're so clever." Ron retorted.
Hermione rolled up her sleeves and flicked her wand.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Said Hermione, as their feather rose up, and hovered about four feet above their heads.
"Oh, well done, Ms. Granger!" Said Flitwick, smiling at seeing another of his students managing to get the spell down.
Naruto smiled at his friend, only to frown at seeing the angry look on Ron's face, as he looked at Hermione. A look that remained the entire time, until the end of class.
"It's no wonder no one can stand her. She's an absolute nightmare, honestly. I bet Uzumaki only hangs around her, out of pity." Ron said to Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan.
Hearing this, Naruto scowled, and would have went up and smacked Ron upside the head. Only for the blonde to see Hermione run passed him, pushing passed the other students, with Naruto only getting angrier, when he saw she was crying.
Now even angrier at not only Ron insulting his friend, but making her cry, Naruto went up to the ginger and turned him around, grabbing him by his collar.
"Don't ever insult Hermione like that, again! And I don't spend time with her, out of pity, I do it because she's my best friend, and I like spending time with her!" Naruto said with a growl, before shoving Ron against a wall, and going after Hermione.
Ron frowned at Naruto's words, before looking around, and seeing the other Gryffindors frowning at him.
"What?" Ron said, flinching when Neville hit him on the head.
"That was uncalled for, what you said about Hermione. All she did was help you with the spell." Neville said, with the other nodding in agreement.
"He's right, mate. She just wanted to help, only for you to insult her, and say that Naruto only hangs out with her, out of pity." Added Seamus.
"We actually spend time with Hermione, in the Girls' Dorm, she even helps us with subjects we have trouble with." Parvati said, with the other Gryffindor girls nodding in agreement, knowing while Hermione could be a "know-it-all" sometimes, she still meant well and helped them, when they had trouble.
Their words only made the Weasley shuffle nervously and hang his head down in shame, before moving passed them, towards the Great Hall, for the feast.
*Later-With Naruto*
Naruto had eventually followed Hermione to the Girls' Bathroom, where he could hear her crying inside.
"Hermione, don't listen to what Weasley said, you were just trying to be nice and help him, while he insulted you, as thanks. And he was also wrong, we are friends, and I do care about you. You are my first friend, Hermione, as well as my best friend." Naruto said from outside the bathroom, hearing Hermione sniffle, while being thankful, when he heard her crying soon stop.
"Thank you, Naruto. But if you could, I want to be alone for a little." Said Hermione.
"Are you sure? You don't want me to stay?" Naruto asked, understanding Hermione needed some time alone, but also wanted to make sure she'd be alright, by herself.
"I'm sure. Go enjoy the feast, I'll be there in a little bit." Hermione replied, with Naruto sighing and nodded.
"Alright, I'll see you there." Said Naruto, before leaving the bathroom, and headed for the Great Hall.
Upon arriving, Naruto saw a thousand live bats fluttering from the walls and ceiling, while a thousand more swooped over the tables, in low black clouds, making the candles in the pumpkins stutter.
"How's Hermione?" Neville asked, once Naruto sat down, the other First Years looking to see how their fellow Gryffindor was.
"She's fine, at least now she is. She's in the Girl's Bathroom, and just wants to be alone, for now." Said Naruto, while glaring at Ron, still angry at him for making Hermione cry.
"I'm sorry, alright! Today's just been really tense and bad, and I just snapped." Ron said in his defense, given the today was always a tense one for witches and wizards.
"Tell that to Hermione." Retorted Naruto, not interested in hearing his apologies, unless they were said directly to Hermione.
Grabbing some food, Naruto took a few bites, not really hungry, and still worried about Hermione.
Just then, Professor Quirrell came sprinting into the hall, his turban askew and terror on his face. Everyone stared as he reached Professor Dumbledore's chair, slumped against the table.
"Troll…in the dungeons…thought you ought to know!" Quirrell gasped, before falling over in a dead faint.
Hearing this, there was an immediate uproar, the students panicking to hear a troll was in the castle. It took several purple firecrackers exploding from the end of Professor Dumbledore's wand, to bring silence.
"Prefects, lead your Houses back to the dormitories, immediately!" Dumbledore ordered, as the Prefects began gathering their Houses to take them back to their respective dorms.
Naruto was surprised that a troll managed to get into the castle, while looking at Neville, before they went to find Tonks and Susan. Finding them being lead out with the other Hufflepuffs, before stopping, when they saw the two Gryffindors.
"Wotcher Whiskers, Neville. We don't have time to chat." Said Tonks, with Naruto nodding.
"That's fine. We just wanted to see if either of you would know how, or why, a troll was let into the castle." Naruto said, with the two Hufflepuffs shaking their heads, not having any answers as to why a troll was let into the castle, or how it could have gotten in.
"You should be more concerned about who could have let a troll in." Malfoy said, with the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs looking to see him and Daphne walking up to them, the latter glancing around.
"I believe the more pressing matter, is making sure everyone knows there's a troll in the castle. Speaking of, where's Granger?" Questioned Daphne, with Naruto's eyes widening, as he realized that Hermione didn't know about the troll and could be in danger.
Not a second later, Naruto took off running out of the Great Hall, and back to the Girl's Bathroom.
"Oi, Naruto!" Tonks said, going to grab him, before he could do anything reckless, only to mentally curse, when she missed him.
Knowing she couldn't leave one, potentially two, junior students alone with a troll on the loose, Tonks ran after Naruto. With the First Years following after her, to help, while Ron followed after them, as well. Having overheard them and felt guilty that it was his fault Hermione was likely in danger.
Daphne and Malfoy went with them, as while they weren't friends with Naruto and Hermione, they also didn't want them to be killed by a troll.
'Bloody hell.' Tonks thought, seeing the First Years following her, and doubted she had time to make them go back to their dorms.
"Alright, if you all want to come and help, then fine. But you do what I say, and not do anything stupid or reckless, got it." Tonks said, completely serious, unlike her usual self, knowing now wasn't the time to take unnecessary risks.
The First Years nodded, with Tonks nodding back, as they ran to follow after Naruto.
It didn't take long, before they got close to the Girls' Bathroom, before they heard it, a low grunting, and the shuffling footfalls of gigantic feet. The students looking at the end of a passage, to the left, as something huge was moved toward them. With all of them moving into the shadows, to avoid being seen, and watched as it emerged into a patch of moonlight.
It was a horrible sight. Twelve feet tall, its skin was a dull, granite gray, its great lumpy body, like a boulder, with its small bald head perched on top, like a coconut. It had short legs thick as tree trunks, with flat, horny feet. The smell coming from it was incredibly horrible. It was holding a huge wooden club, which it dragged along the floor, because its arms were so long.
"Oh Merlin." Susan whispered in shock at the sight of the troll, all of them feeling nervous at the idea of being seen by the creature, and having it attack them.
The troll stopped next to a doorway and peered inside. It waggled its long ears, making up its tiny mind, then slouched slowly into the room. Seeing this, Naruto's eyes widened in fear, knowing it just went into the Girl's Bathroom.
Though before he could rush in to save her, Tonks quickly grabbed his arm.
"Uh-uh, don't even think about it! You aren't running in there alone; we go in together, and work on a way to stop the troll, and save Hermione. Got it?!" Whispered Tonks, with Naruto nodding reluctantly, wanting to just save his friend.
"Alright, I'll go first, the rest of you follow my lead, and work on distracting the troll, long enough for Naruto to save Hermione, allowing us to escape, or until a teacher arrives." Said Tonks, looking at the First Years, all of them nodding.
Seeing this, Tonks nodded as well, before making her way to the bathroom, all of them tensing, when they heard Hermione scream inside. Quickly entering the bathroom, the students saw Hermione was shrinking against the opposite wall, looking as if she was about to faint. The troll was advancing on her, knocking the sinks off the walls, as it went.
Looking around, and seeing the destroyed stalls and sinks, Tonks waved her wand, causing one of the destroyed sinks to float off the ground, before launching it at the back of the troll's head. This had the effect of getting the trolls attention off of Hermione, and on the students, with Tonks motioning the others to do what she did, as they began levitating debris and throwing it at the troll, even Ron managing to succeed in levitating some debris, and throw it.
The troll groaned and tried blocking the thrown objects. Seeing the creature was distracted, Tonks motioned Naruto to get to Hermione.
Nodding, Naruto quickly ran past the troll, ducking under a wild swing of its club, and went up to Hermione, pulling her into a protective embrace.
"Come on." Naruto said, with Hermione nodding shakily, before looking at the troll.
"W-we have t-to d-distract it, so w-we c-can escape." Said Hermione, with Naruto looking at the troll, knowing she was right, as it was starting to move forward, towards the others.
"Well, we never got the chance to try it on something alive. Now we have a target." Naruto said, as Hermione nodded, understanding what he meant, they could try using Gandr to stun the troll, long enough for them to escape.
Looking at the troll, gripping their wrists, Naruto and Hermione pointed their index and middle fingers at it.
"Gandr!" The two said, firing off red shots of magic that combined together, and impacted the troll.
The combined Gandr's caused the troll to stumble slightly, and fall to one knee, allowing Naruto and Hermione to run past it, and to the others, who were all surprised at what they did. Though before they could say anything, or make their escape, the bathroom doors burst open as Dumbledore and the teachers arrived. With the Headmaster shooting an overpowered Stupefy at the troll, causing it to immediately fall backwards unconscious, as the other teachers conjured chains and ropes to keep the troll subdued.
Once the troll was properly restrained, the teachers rounded on the students.
"Explain, now!" McGonagall demanded, wanting an explanation as to why they were here fighting the troll, and not in their dorms.
None of the students had an answer, not wanting to get in trouble. Though Hermione was about to step forward and take the blame, only for someone to beat her to it.
"It's my fault Professor." Ron said, stepping forward, knowing it's his fault Hermione was here, and why they all needed to go save her, which he told the teachers.
"I'm sorry for what I said, it was wrong." Said Ron to Hermione.
"It's, it's fine." Hermione replied, knowing he made up for it, by coming to help save her, and willing to accept the blame.
"Well, while it's good you owned up to your mistake Mr. Weasley. Your actions still endangered, not only Ms. Granger, but also several other students, who came to save her. Twenty points from Gryffindor for your treatment of your fellow students, and a weeks' worth of detention." Said McGonagall, with Ron lowering his head.
"Though in light of recent events, I award five points to each of you, for coming to the aid of a fellow student. And an added ten points to Gryffindor and Slytherin, for putting aside House rivalries, to work together." Dumbledore added, smiling at his students, proud of how they were able to work together.
This made the students happy, glad for the points they managed to win, before they were dismissed back to their dormitories, while the teachers dealt with the troll. But on the way out, Naruto and Hermione couldn't help, but notice that Snape had blood on his leg, and seemed to be limping.
'What happened to him?' Naruto thought, confused as to how Snape could be injured.
"Hey Naruto, Hermione, what was that thing you did to the troll?" Susan asked, curious of the spell they used, and how they could use it without their wands.
The others also looked at the duo, also curious of what the spell.
"It's called Gandr, and I guess you could say it's not a traditional spell." Replied Hermione.
"It's part of something called Magecraft, a type of magic that doesn't require wands, or anything you'd think would be needed. It's also more powerful from, everything we've read about it." Naruto said, as the two began explaining what they knew about Magecraft.
"Would you be able to teach us how to use Magecraft?" Asked Tonks, eager at the chance to learn such a type of magic, and knew it'd go a long way in her goal of becoming an Auror.
The others were also eager at the chance to learn Magecraft, knowing how useful such a skill would be.
"We can try, but we don't know that much, since we just started learning ourselves. But yeah, we can show you what we've learned." Hermione answered, with Naruto nodding in agreement.
"Hm, I suppose I was wrong; you might actually be a decent witch after all, Granger." Daphne said, while smirking.
"That actually sounded like a compliment, Greengrass. Careful, wouldn't want anyone to think the Ice Queen is melting." Said Hermione, smirking back at the Slytherin, though neither having any true animosity.
"By the way, did anyone else notice the blood on Snape's leg?" Susan asked, having noticed Snape's leg was bleeding, this getting everyone's attention, as they began wondering how Snape could have been injured, if it wasn't from the troll.
Though Naruto and Hermione had an idea, wondering if Snape had been injured by the Cerberus.
"Do you think Snape tried getting past the Cerberus?" Hermione muttered quietly to Naruto, only for the others to stop, and look at them with shocked expressions.
"There's a Cerberus here?!" Shouted Malfoy, before his mouth was covered, with Tonks giving her cousin a light glare, since someone might have heard that.
"What do you mean a Cerberus is here?" Tonks questioned, with Naruto and Hermione sighing, before explaining about the Cerberus on the Third Floor Corridor, and that it seemed to be guarding something.
"Could Snape have tried stealing whatever's being kept there?" Neville said, only for Naruto to shake his head.
"Snape wasn't trying to steal it. He's too obvious, to be the culprit." Said Naruto, knowing that Snape seemed like too much of an obvious suspect, and that usually meant he was definitely innocent.
"Well, who else could it be?" Ron questioned.
"Quirrell. I saw him, the day Neville fell off his broom, and he was just standing there, not making any move to help Neville when he fell. He was also the one to tell everyone about the troll, while we were all in th Great Hall, and he wasn't, giving him the perfect chance to let it in. And while everyone was panicking and going back to their dorms, while the teachers were searching for the troll, he would have had the chance to go to the Third Floor and try stealing whatever's being kept there. But maybe Snape beat him to it, and made sure the dog was alert, but was injured, or he was injured from trying to stop Quirrell." Naruto explained, with everyone looking at him in surprise, at his explanation, while realizing he may be right about Quirrell.
But if that's true, then what exactly was Quirrell trying to steal, and why?
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto and Hermione have learned about what happened to the Potter's and Harry, now realizing why the Magical World is separating itself from the Muggle World. We also get some flashbacks showing the prank Naruto helped the Weasley Twins with and the end of their prank war, with Naruto coming out the victor after pranking (torturing) the twins but sparing them his most terrifying prank. Next we see the Charms Class with Ron once again making Hermione cry, with Naruto and the others coming to her defense this time around, along with Naruto chasing after her. Afterwards we also the troll once again break into the castle, with Naruto going to save Hermione, being joined by Tonks, Susan, Neville, Ron, and surprisingly Daphne and Malfoy. Leading to them distracting the troll while Naruto and Hermione both use Gandr on it, stalling long enough for the teachers to arrive and subdue it, with Ron then even owning up to his mistake. Finally we see Naruto and Hermione have agreed to teach the others Magecraft, along with telling them about the Cerberus and that it's guarding something, after noticing Snape's injured leg, with Naruto also sharing his suspicions about Quirrell. Now then onto the Omake!
Omake: Calamity and Apostles
In a hidden location, a meeting between the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors was being held. With this meeting being to discuss the most recent events that have been happening, most likely a result of the death of Harry Potter, thanks to Voldemort, or as they knew him, Tom Riddle.
All of the Dead Apostle Ancestors had a mixed opinion of them. Most of them believing his attempts to become immortal as an amusingly poor imitation of their own immortality. All while others found the Dark Wizard as nothing more than a nuisance. Though there were a few that found his existence as a major offense, with his use of the Horcruxes. A form of Magic, that not even Zouken and their unofficial member, Roa, used. With the latter being viewed as a heretic, by the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles.
Meanwhile, as the meeting was going on, Altrouge Brunestud, leader of one of the two primary factions, looked around in boredom. Though her crimson eyes then turned to her pet, Primate Murder, and was intrigued to see him back in his Cath Palug form, who she affectionately referred to as Fou, looking in a particular direction. Her intrigue only growing, when he sniffed in a certain direction, before took off running.
'Well, that's interesting.' Altrouge thought, wonder what, or who, could have possibly gotten the attention of the Beast of Gaia.
Whatever, or whoever, it is, they also now had Altrouge's own attention, as well.
And it looks like Naruto will be getting some new attention on him in the future. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
