I know reviews are gonna suck, cause it's sooo unusual and people are going to reject it, but I kinda like this idea. Theres not enough Naruto x Harry Overs with Sakura being awesome so I made this. It's kind of an Italian, English, Japanese mix. Lol. Shikamaru is gonna be part Italian. Just bare with me? It's during third year at Hogwarts, after Sasuke leaves and Tsunade takes Sakura as her apprentice. So, enjoy and review!
Vote on pairings, but I'm fer sure doing Sakura x Draco so...
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter or Naruto. Unfortunately... :(
Chapter Uno
Chi più sa, meno crede
"The more one knows, the less one believes."
"Im a what?" Sakura gasped at her shishou, her pale face written with confusion. This was not possible! Sakura had known since the day she was born that she was a kunouichi. No questions asked. But this news her teacher had sprung on her was not acceptable.
Tsunade frowned at her student. "Sakura, you are a witch! Your incredible chakra isn't -at closer inspection- chakra. It's magic." Sakura blinked. "No, no, no, shishou! I am a koo-noy-chee!" The pinkette wailed, her sensei must be confused.
Tsunade's brow twitched in annoyance. "Dear, acccept it. W-I-T-C-H."
Sakura went to open her mouth again, but Tsunade cut her off. "You're parents, your biological parents that is, were of the magical world. They wanted you to grow up away from the war. Chakra and magic aren't very different, in fact some of the methods of training and techniques are very similar."
Sakura paled. "So, I'm really a witch then?" She was disappointed deeply. Why hadn't she been told sooner?
"Yes. To be sure you get the right training, you'll attending the next four years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry." Sakura narrowed her eyes.
"I refuse."
The Hokage glared at the pinkette, her annoyance growing. "You have no options. Its a direct order. You can return after fully trained. I have already informed the headmaster."
"B-but, shishou!" Sakura whined. Tsunade raised her hand, commanding silence. "Hush girl. You wont be going alone. There's a boy you and must protect at all costs not even you could handle alone. Orochimaru has joined forces with a dark wizard, and this boy is the key to stopping both and ending all our problems. Maybe even saving Sasuke."
At this, Sakura perked up. "Who's coming with me?"
"Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuuga Hinata as the tracker, you as medical ninja, and Shikamaru Nara as squad leader. You will all be attending the school as students, but you will be the only one required to learn anything. We will have under cover anbu in the area should you need assistance." She tossed Sakura a heavy bag. "This is the first of your allowance. It's the money you'll be using. Theres more in the Gringotts Bank. Gather the team and leave immediately. Got it?"
Sakura looked her sensei in the eye, fighting the urge to cry. "Hai sensei. See you in four years." She muttered, before taking the mission file and running out of the room. Tsunade sighed. "Good luck."
The pink haired witch frowned. Her heritage did make sense. It explained why she looked nothing like her 'parents' and she had no kekkai genkai. She had excellent chakra, but couldn't master it's use to her fullest. She'd have to settle with this trait for now.
Walking the streets Sakura made her way to the training field, where Shikamaru was most likely to be. Sure enough, there he was. "Shikamaru!" Sakura called. Shikamaru, who was currently sparring with Ino, whipped his head to the side to get a good look at her. Ino sneered.
"What is it, Haruno-san?" Shikamaru asked lazily, turning his back to a fuming Ino. Sakura walked up to the two of them, and nodded politely at Ino. "We have a mission. And it's a long one...you're the captain actually."
Shikamaru raised a brow. "How long is it?" Sakura bit her bottom lip. "About four years...We have occasional breaks."
"WHAT? Forehead girl go find someone else's boyfriend to take! Just not mine!" Ino shrieked. Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Ino we are NOT dating!" He looked back at Sakura. "I'm guessing I have no choice, and somehow Naruto is related?"
Sakura smiled softly. "Yes and isn't he always?" Shikamaru grinned lazily back at her. "Let's walk and you can fill me in." He looked over his shoulder at Ino, who seemed crestfallen. "(1)A dopo, Ino." He said quietly. Ino looked away and didnt meet his eyes.
Sakura tugged on his arm. "C'mon. We have to leave immediately and we still have to fetch Naruto and Hinata." So, the two headed for the Hyuuga clan compound.
"What do you two want?" Hyuuga Neji asked, meeting them at the entrance. "Hinata." Sakura answered. Neji stared warily, but motioned for them to follow him. He led them to a large building in the middle of the compound. As they entered, the distinct smell of rice filled they air.
"What is it you need my cousin for?"
Shikamaru frowned. "A rather long mission. The rest is classified." Neji's eye twitched but he said nothing. When they got to Hinata's room Neji opened the door and ushered them inside. He left them alone with the blushing Hyuuga heir.
"S-sakura-chan! Shikamaru-kun! What are you doing here...?" She asked quietly, staring at them from a desk across the room. Sakura smiled politely.
"We've got a mission for ya, Hina. A long one, but necessary. You up for it?" Hinata blinked. "U-uh...I-...I guess."
"(2)Bene." Shikamaru nodded. "Then all that's left is Naruto and we leave for Britain asap."
Hinata blushed, her eyes danced. "N-naruto-kun is coming too?"
"Si."
They found Naruto at Ichiraku ramen. He was more then happy to join on the magical adventure in a faraway land to save teme, dattebayo! Sakura giggled at his childishness, the only thing that seemed to be a constant in her ever changing life.
"Okay guys remember you are WIZARDS AND WITCHES not NINJA! Now running around throwing kunai or shouting jutsus. You must force your chakra into the wand and then say the appropriate spell name, which Tsunade has written down for us, in order to use a technique. Harry Potter is our main concern and he MUST be protected until he can destroy Voldemort, and hopefully, Orochimaru."
"Okay, okay, okay Sakura-chan we get that its important. I just don't see why Orochimaru needs this moldywart guy-" Naruto complained.
"Voldemort." Sakura corrected. "Voldemort.." Naruto repeated. "When he's already so powerful."
"Guys like him seek power. More and more. There's never enough." Shikamaru yawned, hopping quickly from tree to tree. "They want power all the time any time. Simple as that."
Naruto frowned. "Oh. Well then."
...
"How are we getting there again?"
Sakura clenched her teeth. "We are traveling to Tokyo on foot, catching a flight to Britain, shopping, and then a train will take us to the school. Okay, baka?"
"I am not a baka, Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined.
Smack.
"You sound like a baby!"
"You sound like that old hag Tsunade!"
Smack. "ARE YOU CALLING ME OLD?"
"No Sakura! Your boobs haven't even finished grow-" SMACK!
...
"Hey, Hinata-chan, why are you being so quiet?"
"I-I..."
"Naruto?" Shikamaru groaned.
"Whats up Shikamaru?"
"Shut up."
When they got to Japan, they were slightly intimidated by the large crowds and tall buildings with advanced technology. They ignored it though, and quickly got to the airport.
They each had a suitcase filled with their favorite casual clothes and personal belongings, but there was also space for the stuff they'd be buying at...
"Diagon Alley?" Shikamaru snorted, reading the file. Sakura scowled. "Do not make fun of the British names! They probably find Konoha just as strange a name."
Shikamaru stared at her blankly, then continued reading. Sakura sighed. Hinata sat beside her, blushing, and curiously watching Naruto as he read some magazine he'd never heard of before.
An unlikely bunch they were.
"When we set foot in Britain we are no long Konoha ninja. They think we are from some foreign Japanese school of magic. Only the headmaster knows the truth. Got it?"
They all nodded. They were waiting for their plane to begin seating, being an hour early. Hesitantly, Sakura closed her eyes. It's for Sasuke...and so I can control my magic. You can do this Sak.
I hope so. Inner Sakura said dryly. After a few minutes, they boarded the plane, Naruto gaping at everything. "How do they get it to fly if they dont use chakra or magic?"
"Oh, Naruto, who knows what these people use."
They sat luxuriously in first class, sipping on root beer and chatting quietly between themselves. They practiced the names of spells and such, perfecting them as much as they can. Sakura was a natural, and also the only one not faking. But the others didn't need to know that little secret about her just yet...
"To believe all these years I thought wizards and witches and magic were just stories." Shikamaru laughed.
Sakura joined in. "I know! It's so shocking I still can't believe it!" Hinata smiled warmly.
"I always knew, Sakura-chan! I never stopped believing in magic, like you!" Naruto boasted. Sakura blushed and frowned.
"Of course you'd believe Naruto. It's unlogical and so unreal you're too childish to think even consider it wasn't real."
"I am NOT childish!"
The girls giggled and Shikamaru smirked.
"Oi! Stop laughing, dattebayo!"
The rest of the ride was rather comfortable, as well. Sakura nervously sat in her seat, squirming in anxiety. Meeting her peers for the first time was going to be an experience to remember. She, for once, didnt know what to expect. But she had a plan.
Once they went shopping she'd buy tons of books and read up in the week they had before school started. They were to use that week to get acquainted with magic. Live it, breathe it, and dream it. I think you can die from eating it?
Sakura took deep, camlming breathes to ease her nerve. She shouldn't be this nervous! Of course she'd never met another witch or wizard before, but above all else Konoha citizens would always be her first and only kin.
"Having trouble breathing, Sakura-chan?" Hinata whispered from the chair beside her. Naruto was snoring loudly, and Shikamaru was napping quietly.
Sakura gave the shy girl a weakly reassuring smile. "Hai, Hinata-chan. Why don't you go to sleep?"
Hinata stared blankly for a moment, blushed and nodded then said something under her breath. The pinkette turned to stare out the window at the soft clouds. She yawned quietly, snuggling her head into the chair.
Sakura's eyes fluttered closed at last and she fell into a peaceful Sasuke-filled sleep.
"Saaaaaakura-chaaaaan! Wake UP!" An annoying voice yelled in Sakura's face. Startled, her hand shot out and punched the blond in the face.
Blink. Blink. Blink.
Stare.
"Ooowww!" Naruto cried. Hinata hovered over him, worry on her face. Sakura snorted. "Don't waste your time on him, Hinata. He should know not to invade my bubble." Sakura made a circle around herself with her index finger, and glared at Naruto. Shikamaru stared amusedly.
"Anyway, Haruno-san, it's time to get off the plane and head to Diagon Alley." Sakura stifled a yawn and stretched out her limbs, looking like a cat. "Alright guys, let's do our best acting, kay? Try to pick up on the slang terms they use here. It could come in handy."
Naruto rubbed his aching cheek and grinned. "Good thing it was necessary to take English, Italian, and French in the academy!" (a/n: If you think about it Ninjas have to deal with clients from everywhere, and how are they gonna be good spies or whatever they do if they can't speak the language?)
Hinata nodded in agreement. She looked pretty well for someone who had slept on a plane for nearly an entire day. Sakura on the other hand...well, her hair was everywhere, her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like she could kill at any second.
Innocent children cowered in fear. Naruto, being the idiot he is, commented on this. He would be nursing yet another bruise. Their bright colored attire-well, Sakura's and Naruto's mostly- attracted attention. Sakura glared at those who stared while Naruto would grin like mad and say "Konichiwa!".
Hinata just giggled. They left the airport in London and found a black cab Tsunade had called for in advance. The driver was, apparently an anbu. The tatoo was proof.
"I'm going to be dropping you off at The Leaky Cauldron. It's a pub and inn. Get a room there and make yourselves comfortable. When you're ready to go shopping theres a a brick wall in the court yard in the rear. Tap the bricks three up and two across three times and you'll be in Diagon Alley. Oh, and muggles can't see The Leaky Cauldron, so it's only wizards and witches from this point."
"Muggles?" Hinata asked, tilting her head in confusion. Sakura yawned. "It's what they call non-magic people." Hinata nodded slowly, registering the name. "Oh."
"Hey, how come you got here before us if you're anbu? Do you live here or something?" Naruto asked, practically jumping in his seat.
The man driving the cab chuckled. "Don't you kids know? Konoha has allies all over the world, despite it's size and location so far away from modern civilization. There's a good few in every major city."
Sakura grinned excitedly. "I knew that, Naruto. Iruka-sensei explained it to us many times in Ninja History. You chose that class to catch up on sleep." The blond crossed his arms and mumbled something incoherent.
"When you get in there act as normal as can be. You're parents are rich purebloods in Japan who trusted you enough, vainly, to come here to London alone after travelling the world by yourselves since the age of eight. You've known each other since six and are best friends. Thats all any needs to know. Oh, if they say they've been to Japan and never heard of your parents just say they are rich, but very discreet and private and you were lucky to even be allowed to go to Hogwarts. Most people should approve of you then, and not give you a hard time."
"P-purebloods?" Hinata asked quietly. Sakura smiled at the girl. "Pureblood witches and wizards. No muggle blood. People born from muggle parents are called mudbloods or muggle born. Though mudblood is a very derogatory name. Blood traitors are pure bloods that harbor no ill-feelings towards muggles or muggle borns. Got that?"
Hinata flushed, but nodded. The anbu smirked. "Ah, very good Haruno-san. You've been studying, haven't you?" Sakura smiled proudly. "Being the smartest has always been my talent." Shikamaru snorted.
"Shikamaru, of course, has always rivaled my wits. I plan to learn everything there is about magic and be the best." She continued.
The anbu stared, then smiled softly. "You're sure passionate about learning." He commented.
"Yuck!" Naruto said. They all chuckled.
After about 15 minutes, they had reached The Leaky Cauldron. "Thanks!" Sakura said to the cab driver part anbu. He waved dismissively and drove off. The four teenagers stared at the Inn.
"Wait, Sak, how can we see it if we aren't wizards and witches?" Hinata asked, confused.
"Chakra is considered a relative of magic, so... I guess we're kind of considered magical." She led the way into the chilly Inn. It somewhat scared Hinata, with it seeming tattered and more old fashioned then she was use to.
"Ah, and what is it you four may need?" A voice asked. Sakura blinked and looked over at the voice. "Are you the Innkeeper?" She asked.
It was a gruff man, kinda tough looking, yet kind. "Yes, yes, yes. My name is Tom. How may I help you?" Sakura smiled at him. "We need two rooms. With two beds and each." She reached into her bag and pulled out 5 galleons. "We'll pay of course."
Tom grinned at them. "Why of course!" He took the money from Sakura's small hand. "Rooms six and seven are all yours, missy." Sakura curtsied-which she thought afterwards could have been inappropriate- and Naruto thanked the man eagerly.
Then, the climbed the stairs to their rooms. "Hinata and I get room 7, cuz it's my lucky number n' all." Sakura said to Shikamaru. Naruto pouted.
"But I wanted to sleep with Sakura-chan!"
SMACK. SMACK.
Glare.
Whimper.
"We'll go shopping in about fifteen miutes, kay?" Sakura said in a sing-song voice, pulling Hinata into their room and shutting the door.
"Why do you think they need that long? They can't be tired the slept most of the flight."
Naruto, who was currently laying in a bunch on the floor frowned. "Sakura-chan looked a mess. She's probably cleaning up. But she doesn't really need to cause she's a beautiful respectful lady aalll the time." He added just in case she could hear.
"Whatever." Shikamaru mumbled, walking into the room he shared with Naruto. The blond stayed quiet on the floor. "I miss Konoha already. I wonder what Sasuke is doing?"
"Naruto, stop talking to yourself."
"Can't help that I so amusing in conversations."
"That was a big word."
Grin. "I learned it from you."
Smile.
