Harry’s World

Nothing ever happens here. Even if he wanted things to turn out differently, he had expected them to stay the same. Well that was what a Thirteen year, old dark haired boy was thinking right now. He was in a small room, waiting for something that would take him out of his stupor. It had been like this for the last two weeks for him. Doing nothing but sitting on his small blue comforter bed. Looking at bare walls and peeling chipped paint, talking to his snowy white owl out of boredom.

The heat was unbearable, he could even feel sweat gliding down his neck and back. What a great summer, he mused, as he stared at one of the many books that he piled up, making a castle of sorts. His 'family' wasn't any better, with there nagging and bitching about what he needed to do.

They would make him do chores and force him to make food, because of the fact that he was a 'freak' as they so lovely put it. You see the teen was actually Harry Potter, the savior of the wizard’s world, or better know as, "The Boy Who Lived". But to his family, he was just the freak, that they had to take care of. The only reason he had gotten this small sad excuse of a room was because people had started to talk and point out that he was nothing but skin and bones. His family fearing the wrath of wizards had moved him from the cupboard to Dudley's smaller room, where he had kept his useless toys.


Harry turned around, looking at the door that was closed. Earlier he had blown up at his Uncle because the fat lard had shouted at him for leaving a single hair on the table. Claiming it as not clean and fit for his family to eat there. Sighing Harry slumped a little more, he really missed his friends, Ron and Hermione and he wanted to see his godfather. He was actually waiting for a letter from Dumbledore. The headmaster had hinted they would be taking him away soon, but that had been over a week ago.

Just then a black owl tapped the small window. Jumping up Harry dashed towards the window, and opened it up, hoping beyond hope that it was good news. The owl flew through the opened window and landed on Harry’s desk dropping a single white letter. It's yellow wide gleaming eyes looking at the human.

With shaky hands Harry picked it up and opened it. His green eyes shifted from side to side, like a cat watching its prey. The expression on his face first becoming confused then happy and finally excited. The next moment found Harry literally jumping and shouting. Waving his right had all about, with the note tightly clutched in his fist.

"Boy you better shut up in there! It’s one in the morning." His Uncle shouted.

Harry stopped short and grinned, "Sorry." He said not really caring.

Harry then started to pack like crazy, until he heard another peck at the window. He turned surprised to find Ron’s owl with some packages. Harry walked over and opened the window again this time one owl went in and the other that was there went out. All the while a large smile was plastered onto his face. Wild messy hair sticking up and face gleaming.

The little white letter that Harry had on his desk was open. Its contents laying there for the entire world to see.


Dear Harry James Potter,

From the evidence that was sent in and after, "careful" consideration

"The Minister of Magic," has from this day forward released Mr. Sirius Black from all

charges and crime.

Congratulations’ Harry

Headmaster,

Albus Dumbledore


One year later


The sun was shinning and the birds were chirping. Everything it seemed was at peace. Nothing could ruin this, except for a very loud noise from the kitchen.

"Harry, Ron time for breakfast!" A loud voice said. A low groan was the only replay then another and another.

"Boys now or I’ll send up Hermione!" The voice said again, this time they did get up.

Harry and Ron both got out of bed and dressed. Ron, his family, and Hermione were visiting Harry and Sirius making plans to go to the World Cup that was coming up.

Harry looked around his nice big room. The carpet was an off white along with the walls. He had a nice large bed with a closet and a big desk. He even had a large cage just for his owl Hedwig. Yes, his life was finally looking up. It was a lot better compared to the small room at his Uncles.

As he got dressed he remembered how it all happened. It was at the end of their third school year, and Harry had just found out the truth about his godfather. See Black was a convicted felon that killed Peter Pettigrew and about ten other people. The evidence was to convincing right after the Potter family was murdered by The Dark Lord.

It turned out Peter was the one that had led The Dark Lord towards the Potters and Black was just trying to take revenge.

That night Harry, Ron, Hermione, Black and his Professors Lupin, and Snape, who was unconscious, all headed back towards the castle with Peter handcuffed. He got the dementors kiss and all charges against Black were erased. The Ministry even gave Black his very own house due to their mishap. He also never had to pay taxes again, go figure.

"Come on Ron before we get yelled at again." Harry said, walking down the hall towards the stairs.

"Bloody hell." Ron muttered still half asleep.

The house was pretty huge with at least five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The whole thing was an off white color with a big kitchen and a nice living room, with a full stereo set up and TV, mostly for Harry.

When Harry finally got down for breakfast, he saw all of the Weasleys eating with Hermione and Molly servicing everyone. Harry smiled and said hello sitting in between Sirius and Ginny, much to her delight. He looked at the wonderful food and started to pile everything onto his plate. Ron came in a little later, looking worse for wear. With his shirt un-tucked and his hair standing straight up.

Harry looked around just content with watching everyone talking and laughing. ‘Now this is family,’ he thought smiling. This is what he had always wanted to experience and now he finally had it.

They spent the next couple of hours arguing on how they were going to the World Cup with the summer on the way.

Naruto’s world


The next day Naruto and his gang went to the academy and past with flying colors, like everyone said. They only needed to take three clones and pass a written test. He had bombed the written test but passed the other segment.

The next thing he knew was that he was looking at the coolest sword he had ever seen. But as it turned out he was to short for the thing, so Kyo had suggested a short sword.

Naruto looked through their selection. They were at a town that was close to the village. The place they were in was pretty run down, but they seemed to have the best selection for sharp pointy weapons.

That was when he saw the sword he wanted.

The hilt was black with red flames going down. The blade itself was sleek silver that reflected anything. Plus it was cheap and the perfect fit for right now. So Kyo bought it, then stated that he should get one more. When Naruto asked why, he was told the ladies always love a man in armor.

So when they walked out of the store Naruto had two swords on his waist just like Kyo.

When they got back Naruto spotted Sasuke at the small training grounds they had. It looked like he had also gotten something. His every own wind shuriken from Kakashi and Yuna. Sasuke could be seen then on, with that large pointed star. Either swinging it about, or tossing it in smooth motions at a decaying tree for target practice.

After that it felt like days had past for Naruto, but in reality it was a few months. It turned out that he, Sakura, and Sasuke were on a team while Kakashi was there jounin teacher.

Naruto still remembered that day like it was yesterday. It was a shock for him when Ikura sensei called out their team. Sakura of course yelled out a big Yes, when Sasuke and she were on a team. But then she seemed to boo when Naruto was called on the exact same team, but the two boys ignored her and flashed each other a small smile. Sakura was to so the least, the most obnoxious girl they had both ever met.


“Let’s go”. Naruto said standing up.

Sasuke just nodded his head going towards the door. Sakura was also getting up looking very confused but followed her teammates.

Three hours later Kakashi came into an empty room. He scratched his head and headed for the ramen stand where they were. Naruto chuckled remembering that Kakashi had to pay for the ramen. Lets just say he wasn’t that late again.


It seemed the old man, Hokage had done this on purpose to put them all in a team but no one protested.

In those months they had to do stupid D rank missions that were far beyond pathetic. They did have some C ranks here and there but nothing to extreme.

They also found out that Nina and Yuna were pregnant and Ling was on her way to try. The males were so happy they all ran towards the Hot Springs with sake in hand laughing and congratulating everyone.

Naruto and Sasuke from that day on would never drink again. They had killer hangovers and Nina yelled at them for two hours straight. Talking about responsibility and hard work.


It turned out that Yuna had a boy with red hair and green eyes. He looked just like Kakashi, while Nina had twins. Two healthy girls both with dark blue hair. One had Kyo’s eyes while the other had the white eyes of a Hyuuga.

So it seemed that their family was growing even bigger then before but this time they all had enough room.

Naruto walked down the carpeted hallway towards his room, when he spotted Sasuke outside training with his shuriken. He opened the glass door and walked out on the wooden patio. Slowly closing the glass door behind him.

The sun was warm, shinning down with no clouds to obscure its bright light. That day there was no wind. The trees were in bloom with Sakura petals floating down, laying on the freshly cut grass. They were currently surrounding Sasuke, while he practiced. It seemed to Naruto that Sasuke wanted to be the best. Everyone knew the chuunin exams were coming up but with the babies and everything else, Naruto wanted to take at least one day off of training, but it seemed Sasuke had other ideas.

Naruto walked over the edge and sat down staring at the sky. He could see the tiny petals dance around. But he could also see Sasuke at the corner of his eye. His smooth stance going through the many motions. His turning and graceful arches. And Naruto hated it. Sasuke had always been the better one, when it came to stances and balance, he would beat Naruto ever time. Naruto was the exact opposite, he would bumble through his own stances and would fall over anything that could trip a person. His thinking was to get in beat the shit out of the bad guy and get back out as fast as he could. But Sasuke, he would probable sneak around and snipe the ninja.

Looking at Sasuke Naruto couldn't help but watch his muscles strain and pull. His hair waving back and forth, as it plastered on his sweaty forehead. Turning away Naruto sighed as he scratched his head. He did not need to see Sasuke's sweaty body nor his dark black eyes as they stared determinedly ahead.

He wished he could do that just once, keep control, and impress his family. He wouldn't mind impressing Saukra and Sasuke. Then rub it in their faces.

But Kyo had always disapproved of that way. He would say

“Naruto you should never show off. If you did then the enemy would know what you were capable off. You need to be focused and never just charge in by blind fury.”

But then again that’s what all his teachers say with more mixed up and fancy words.

Naruto suddenly grabbed at his stomach still looking up. He learned about the fox some time ago when Gai had slipped up. That was when Nina had to come in and say that it was aright and that they didn’t care. That they loved him for who he was, and would never hurt him.

Naruto got up and put his hands in his pocket before going back inside. It seemed that Ling was pregnant so that was why everyone was gone, that or another mission, so Naruto and Sasuke had the house to themselves with the babies of course. Maybe helping clean up their mess would take his mind off of Sasuke.


That night everyone decided to have dinner in the main house.


Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and Kyo. He could tell they were talking about swords yet again. The dark haired teen turned his head to Kakashi who was reading a little orange book. ‘Hn what a pervert.’ Sasuke thought, looking at Yuna who had the same expression on her face.

Nina was coming in and out of the kitchen caring her prized food. While Ling was taking care of the babies.

“Hey you can’t do that!” Naruto shouted trying to steel some of the food from Kyo.

“Yes I can twerp. It’s mine and I’m bigger.” Kyo said with his tongue sticking out. Sasuke looked away eyebrow twitching. They always acted like nine year olds.

“Hey THAT’S mine.” The blonde argued louder.

“Naruto stop right now! We are trying to have a civil dinner.” Nina said disapproving then looked at Kakashi.

“Kakashi san.” She said with such sweetness in her voice. Kakashi pocketed the book rather quickly.

Sasuke just scoffed and looked away. This was how they always acted when they were all together. Then he saw Gai over where Kakashi was, trying to challenge him with the eye as he so called it.

“Now you two stop that. I’m trying to make a speech.” Nina said glaring at the two men.

“What is it Nina.” Naruto said loudly.

“Well we have decided that Kyo and I will be getting married in the late fall.” She announced with Kyo grinning.


All was silent in the big dinning room.


“THAT”S GREAT!” Naruto shouted, the one to break the silence like always with his rather large mouth.

“Yes that’s great Kyo so you finally had the balls to propose.” Kakashi commented smirking under his mask.

“The power of youth!” Gai shouted while all the women got into a semi circle and started chatting about what they could do. They had even started to sprout about what kind of roses each table would have and what type of music would be playing.

Naruto sat back down at table watching everyone, even Sasuke was giving small hints on what they should do.

Finally Nina and Kakashi were getting married. Naruto and Sasuke were going to have official parents now. They were going to have a real loving family.

"Kakshi put that book away, I'm not going to tell you again. And Gai for God's sake, stop with the muscle budging contest." Naruto could hear groans all around the table then.

Yes a loving and competent family.

A week later


Up in the tower of the Hokage, where everything is decided, there was an old man looking through his many files on missions.

The room where The Third was eerily quiet with an occasion of paper shuffling here and there. The quiet though was soon interrupted when a loud tap from the window was heard. Saritobe got up and opened the window to see a brown owl fly through.

“What the…” He said walking over to it and taking a small scroll from it’s clawed feet.

Dear Hokage Sama

The Triwizards Cup will be held this year and your Country has been selected by, “The Ministry of Magic.”

We know your village lives in secret but it would be an honor for your students to come.

If you except please return the owl in the next week we would need to set up a portal to your village.

Thank you

Ministry of Magic

Bartty Crunch.


The Third put down the paper looking out the window towards the monuments of the former Hokages.

He didn’t know if it would be wise to go with the chunnin exams coming up. He still had a week to decide.

“May, would you please send in Kakashi as soon as possible please.” Saritobe said to his secretary.


Three hours later


“Ah sorry for being late.” Kakashi said rubbing his head. In front of his was a very unhappy Hokage.

After sighing The Third sat down. ”Kakashi, “The Ministry of Magic” has contacted me and were wondering if we would be attending the Triwizard Cup this time around.” He said looking at his trusted friend.

“Hokage that is just a publicity for them. Plus it would be almost right after the chuunin exams.” Kakashi said seriously.

The Third nodded, “I know but we could use this to our advantage to become stronger. You know the Cloud and Sand have become restless if they were to ally themselves with the Stone then we would be in trouble.” He finished looking at the paper.

“That may be but what about the time difference and how would we have the transportation. Who would go?” Kakashi finished.

The Third just nodded thinking about all possibilities.

"Plus not everyone knows about this secret group." He muttered grabbing his short white beard as he thought.
