Naruto's Different Beginning
Chapter 2
Three Years Later

 

Soon, it was three years later, September first, and Naruto, Sasuke, Harry, and Sakura were on the train, headed to Hogwarts.

"I am not looking forward to this at all," Harry told his friends.

"I know, it can't be easy, going back to the place you tried to run away from," Sakura replied sympathetically.

"How do you think your old friends will react to you being back?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know. I mean, I only came because you guys were invited. I need to stop running away; I can't run from destiny forever."

"I think you are very brave to come back after the headmaster refused to take you away from your abusive family," Sakura told him.

"Yeah, I'm just scared that Sirius will be mad at me for running."

"Hey, you needed to get away, and they should have seen that. They can't expect you to not be affected by a student being murdered in front of you, or seeing the return of an evil man who killed your parents," Naruto lectured.

"Naruto! Since when do you have a brain?" Sasuke taunted.

Naruto scowled, crossed his arms, and glared at Sasuke, hurt that his boyfriend would say such a mean thing to him.

Sasuke closed his eyes, and appeared to not care that he had obviously hurt Naruto. But Harry could tell that the younger boy was actually quite mad at himself, he just refused to show it.

The train ride passed quickly, and the four waited until every other carriage left five minutes before them before heading to the castle themselves.

The entered the castle and approached the double doors of the Great Hall, where the last student had just been sorted into Ravenclaw.

Harry then pushed open the Great Hall doors. Needless to say, four people in heavy black coats did not make the staff or students happy, and thus hundreds of wands were soon pointed at them.

"Ah, you don't remember me. I'm hurt, Headmaster, I'm hurt!" Harry told the old professor.

Dumbledore's eyes widened. "H...Harry?" he asked in amazement. Harry and his friends pushed down their hoods.

"Where have you been?" Hagrid asked.

"Japan, with Kakashi Sensei," he said nonchalantly.

Dumbledore turned to his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. "Why did you have him?" he demanded.

Kakashi looked at Harry, who nodded.

"We found him on the edge after running away three years ago, and we decided to adopt him as one of our own when he told us his story," he said simply.

"Well, then, Harry, why don't you go sit down at your table while your friends here are sorted?" Professor Dumbledore said.

"No."

"What do you mean, 'no'?"

"I will be resorted, or I leave, and refuse to help you fight Voldemort," Harry said harshly.

 

"Really? Well, I assure you, Potter, the Light side will not need your help," Snape sneered, "there is no reason we need you to fight, or your friends."

"I wouldn't say that if I were you. You're looking at the best five ninja's in Konoha," Sakura spoke up.

The hall gasped; everyone knew about the Konoha Ninja Assassins.

Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Very well, then, why don't you all step up to be sorted," he ordered them. When they began to reply, they were stopped by their sensei.

"Cell Seven! You are to be sorted into different houses, so all houses will be protected," he told them in Japanese.

They nodded, and, after introducing the three sixteen year olds, they each stepped up to the Sorting Hat.

In the end, after much arguing, Harry was sorted into Slytherin, Sasuke was sorted into Ravenclaw, Naruto was sorted into Gryffindor, and Sakura was sorted into Hufflepuff.

Soon, the feast as over, and they all retired in their own houses, hoping to be well rested for training the next morning.

 

 

Note: Yet again, duo to plot changes, I changed a this chapter a bit. It now says that Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura are sixteen, not thirteen; Harry is seventeen. I also changed the first sentence; I had forgotten to mention that Harry was on the train.
