*******************************

Let's get started

*******************************

As November began, the weather turned bitterly cold. The mountains near the school turned an icy grey, and the lake looked like frozen steel. Every morning, the park was covered in frost. Through the upstairs windows, they could see Hagrid defrosting the brooms on the Quidditch pitch, dressed in a huge moleskin coat, rabbit fur gloves, and huge beaver fur boots.

The Quidditch season was about to begin. That Saturday, Harry would play his first match after weeks of training: Gryffindor versus Slytherin.

Hardly anyone had seen Harry play, because Flint had decided that he would be his secret weapon. Harry had to keep it a secret, too. But the news that he was going to play as a Seeker had leaked out, and Harry didn't know which was worse: being told he would do very well or that he would be a disaster.

It was really lucky that Harry had Hermione as a friend. He didn't know how he would have managed all his homework without her help, with all the Quidditch training Flint demanded of him.

Harry might be very clever, but not as tidy as Hermione.

The girl had also lent him Quidditch Through the Ages, which turned out to be a very interesting book.

Harry learned that there were seven hundred ways to commit a foul, and that all of them had been recorded during the World Cup in 1473; that Seekers were usually the smallest and fastest players, and that the most serious accidents happened to them; that although people did not die playing Quidditch, referees had been known to disappear, only to reappear months later in the Sahara Desert.

Hermione had become a little more flexible when it came to breaking the rules, thanks to the influence of Harry and the others. The day before Harry's first match the group was outside in the frozen courtyard during recess, and the girl had conjured a bright blue fire, which they could carry with them, in a jam jar. They had their backs to the fire to warm themselves when Snape crossed the courtyard. Immediately, Harry noticed that Snape was limping. The group huddled together to cover the fire, as there was no assurance that this was allowed. Unfortunately, something about their guilty faces made Snape stop.

But he just looked at them and continued to limp forward. Harry deduced that she didn't scold them, mainly him, because tomorrow was the Quidditch game and Snape didn't want him to be in trouble.

Not even Snape would risk the possibility of losing the Quidditch Cup...

Currently, on the day of the match, the group was eating breakfast at the Ravenclaw table.

The day had dawned very bright and cold. The Great Hall was filled with the delicious aroma of fried sausages and the cheerful chatter of everyone, who was looking forward to a good Quidditch match.

And for some reason, Harry had no appetite.

-"You have to eat something for breakfast"-

Susan told him, but Harry shook his head.

-"I don't want anything"-

-"Even if it's just a piece of toast"-

Hermione begged him, but he was still in denial.

-"I'm not hungry"-

Harry felt very bad for some reason and he didn't know why. He felt like something bad was about to happen and he would be the main victim.

-"Are you nervous about the game?"-

Tracey curiously asks him about his denial of not eating.

-"No..."- Harry the businessman. -"It's not that"-

Harry didn't know why, but he knew it wasn't related to today's match.

What he didn't know was that he would have his answer right now...

Suddenly, the doors to the Great Hall opened, drawing the attention of some students; breakfast had already started a while ago and it was rare to arrive at that time, even those who wake up late.

When they saw the group that entered, the students gasped, drawing the attention of the teachers. Harry turned pale when he saw who they were.

First there was the person who opened the door, a handsome young man who made most of the girls in the upperclassmen blush. He is 1.80 meters tall and his face had unique attractive facial features, and deep, bright blue eyes. A notable feature was his three whiskers like those of a cat or fox on each cheek and large, unruly red hair with golden tips and a white lock. He wore a strange outfit for wizards; black pants with orange stripes on the sides and a tight orange shirt that showed off his good physique.

Along with him came a group of girls, whose beauty would dazzle the boys.

One is a beauty with long black hair, snow-white skin, large dark brown eyes and beautiful eyelashes. She wore a typical striped kimono that reaches to her knees, which showed off her incredible figure, which made many girls envious. Over the brown sweater, she wears a teal haori with white trim, and around her waist a brown sash with a fringed edge. Along with this, she wears wide-soled light brown sandals with straps of the same color as her haori.

Next is a brown-eyed beauty, just as beautiful as the previous one, but much more developed. She has long green hair, which she combs in such a way that it forms a ball on top of her head, with what appears to be a needle point, while two large locks with orange tips mark the rest of her face. Her attire consists of a short sleeveless dress, adorned by the presence of numerous bandages surrounding various parts of her body, including her waist, thighs, and ankles.

Next was a young and beautiful woman, who wears a long green jacket, with red-white camellias embroidered on her back and on the right side; her right sleeve is short while the left is completely long, she wears cherry-colored shorts. Her hair is purple, tied back in a high ponytail by a ribbon, and her lips are painted dark pink.

Another is an attractive woman with long straight blonde hair tied with bandages, black eyes, and red lipstick. She wore a navy blue short-sleeved blouse and black pants, both with a cloud-like design, black fingerless gloves, and a necklace of blue beads wrapped around her left hand and forearm. She also wore bandages covering her forearms and legs, black sandals, and a red ribbon around her waist.

Next to her was a beautiful young brunette who had orange eyes, her hair was a little long and green with a small orange hook. Her outfit consisted of a short white sleeveless shirt over a short mesh suit, as well as white bracelets on both arms, as well as a short skirt over a short piece of mesh, apart from the typical shinobi sandals but white.

And lastly was an incredibly beautiful woman with a voluptuous body. She is tall, in fact she is the tallest of the entire group. She has long white hair that is tied between orange sticks in a ponytail at the back, and whose color fades into an aqua green and then blue hue as it progresses, and ends in rectangular locks. She also has large orange eyes with prominent eyelashes, wears gold earrings in both ears, and has red horns. As for clothing, she wears a pair of red hakama pants and sandals and wears a large purple and white nio-daisuki behind her back. Her outfit is a white sleeveless garment with a diamond-shaped design on both sides and an indigo-patterned bottom half. This garment was apparently originally a kimono with long white sleeves, but was later torn off, leaving the garment sleeveless and making it more form-fitting.

Following the group of adults and looking around in awe were a group of extremely cute and tender children, which made several girls suppress the urge to squeal.

First was a lively and energetic boy of about five years old, who looked like the young copy of the only adult male in the group; but with a difference. She has spiky black hair, bright blue eyes, and has two whisker marks on both cheeks. She wore a blue t-shirt, under a black jacket. Underneath she wears black pants and blue shinobi sandals.

Then she is a quiet, but curious girl of about five years old. She has long red hair, and whose color fades into an orange and then yellow tone as it progresses, giving the appearance of fire. She has brown eyes and two whisker marks on both cheeks. She wore a beautiful and elegant fire red dress. On her feet she wore orange sandals and on her head she wore a small tiara with rubies.

Coming from the hands of three of the six women were three children who looked to be no younger than two years old.

One is a boy who has spiky purple hair, blue eyes, and has two whisker marks on both of his cheeks. He was wearing a purple shirt, which had a black diamond-shaped design on it in the heart area. Underneath he wore a darker purple pair of pants and purple shinobi sandals.

Another is a boy who has straight blonde hair, blue eyes, and has two whisker marks on both of his cheeks. He was wearing a blue shirt, which had a large black design in the shape of a cat's head in the middle. Underneath he wore a pair of dark blue pants and shinobi sandals of the same color.

And lastly, a girl who has straight blonde hair with green tips, orange eyes, and has two whisker marks on both cheeks. She was wearing a green t-shirt with orange flower decorations. Underneath she wore orange shorts and orange shinobi sandals.

Something that made everyone there blink in surprise was the strange robotic human being, who followed behind the older children, as if he was watching them.

The students and faculty had all kinds of expressions upon seeing the strange group, but only Dumbledore turned pale upon recognizing the young man leading the group; a person, who when he appeared, began to be the topic of conversation at all Wizengamot meetings, due to his relation to the Boy-Who-Lived.

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the current guardian and adoptive father of Harry James Potter-Uzumaki.

Naruto looked around, ignoring the gazes of the students and faculty. Then his gaze fell on the Ravenclaw table and his face seemed to light up with happiness when he saw a special student.

-"Harry-chan!"- Naruto shouted, then ran to hug his adopted son. -"Your Otō-san came to see you!"-

-"No"-

That was the only thing Harry said, then tried to flee the place. But it was too late, Harry had been wrapped in a crushing hug from Naruto.

-"Otō-san, let me go!"-

Harry shouted embarrassed, but Naruto didn't hear him.

-"Ah been a while!"- Naruto shouted, almost seeming to cry. -"I've missed you these past few months!"-

The students could only find the scene somewhere between strange and funny.

-"So, how's school going? Did you make any friends? Have you been eating well? Have you grown since we last saw each other? Did you let your hair grow-?"-

*Tug!*

-"Aaahhh!"-

Naruto cried out in pain as Haku pulled on his ear.

-"Naruto-kun"- Haku looked at him sternly. -"Please behave."-

-"Okay! Okay!"- Naruto cried, letting go of Harry's hug, much to Harry's relief. -"I'll behave!"-

Harry looked at Haku thankfully. -"Thank you, Haku-okā-san."-

-"You're welcome."- Haku said, then hugged Harry along with the other girls. -"Although I've missed you too."-

Harry was embarrassed by the hug. -"I missed you too."-

When the girls let go, the boys quickly rushed forward to hug their older brother whom they missed so much.

Naruto smiled at the brothers' interaction, then noticed Dumbledore approaching them.

-"Mr. Uzumaki-Namikaze, it's a surprise to see you here..."- Dumbledore commented nervously. -"At Hogwarts."-

-"Yes; we're here to see Harry's first Quidditch match."- Naruto said calmly, then looked at him with narrowed eyes, which made Dumbledore even more nervous. -"Is there a problem?"-

-"Oh no, of course not!"- Dumbledore said quickly. -"It's normal for parents to come and watch their children play."-

-"Fine."- Naruto smiled. -"Because we planned to stay all day."-

Dumbledore was surprised by that. -"All day?"-

-"Yes"- Naruto nodded. -"My children want to see Hogwarts and I want to supervise Harry's classes"-

-"Supervise classes?"- Dumbledore was even more surprised. -"I assure you, Mr. Uzumaki-Namikaze, that we teach one of the best magical educations in Europe or the World"-

-"We'll see about that..."- Naruto muttered to himself, then looked at Dumbledore calmly. -"But of course, you're still the Headmaster. If you have a problem with that, we'll just watch the game and then leave"-

Then he looked at Dumbledore with a dangerous seriousness that showed that he really wanted to supervise the day's classes.

-"W-Well, you have the right to worry about your son's education..."- Dumbledore said, sweating profusely. -"I think it's okay for me to supervise his classes for the day."-

-(What!?)-

The teachers were surprised to hear that.

-(Shit...)-

Harry thought embarrassed by the scene his adoptive father was making. Right now he was receiving even more glances from the students.

Naruto smiled at Dumbledore's answer. -"Good! Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to have breakfast with my family."-

-"Of course..."-

Dumbledore said, then walked away and went back to the staff table, relieved that no problem had happened; but he surely had a lot to explain to the teachers.

Naruto smiled, knowing full well what he did, then looked at the Ravenclaw table where his son and his friends were sitting.

Seeing that they were sitting at the end of the table, in front of the staff table, Naruto just waved his hand, and the table widened and stretched, making room for his family.

Harry looked at his father in surprise, who sat with his family.

Naruto, who noticed the look, answered his doubts. -"I was reading a bit of magic books."-

I knew magic from that world, but I didn't have the same knowledge as Harry.

Harry quickly understood. Then he noticed the looks of his friends and decided that it was time to introduce them.

-"Family, I want to introduce my friends."- Harry said, then began the introduction. -"They are Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott, Daphne Greengrass, Tracey Davis and Blaise Zabini."-

The young wizards greeted the Uzumaki Family with nervousness and discomfort.

The Uzumaki gave them a friendly smile.

-"It's nice to finally meet you all!"- Naruto smiled at the group of young wizards. -"Thank you for being friends with my son."-

Naruto was indeed happy that Harry had friends, even more so his own age. Since his childhood in Yōsogakure No Sato, Harry was a child who was determined to train and study different types of magic, and he didn't have any friends his own age. And seeing his son being in a group of friends filled his heart with happiness.

-"And tell me, guys?"- Naruto smiled as he showed a thick album that had just appeared. -"Would you like to see pictures of Harry as a baby?"-

The boys looked at the album in confusion. -"Huh?"-

-"Huh!?"-

Harry shouted, being the only one who looked at the album with fear and horror.

Then Naruto opened the book to a particular section.

-"Look!"- Naruto smiled, pointing at a photo with happiness. The photo showed a baby Harry sitting on the floor with some toys, while giving a confused look. -"This is a photo of Harry in the first days we adopted him"-

Harry buried his face in his hands in embarrassment and his friends started looking at the photos in amusement, since there were many embarrassing ones.

And so they stayed for the whole breakfast…

...

.....

....

...

At eleven in the morning, the whole school seemed to be gathered around the Quidditch field. Many students had binoculars. The seats could be raised but, even then, it was sometimes difficult to see what was happening.

Naruto and the rest of the Uzumaki Family were invited to watch the match from the teachers' seats. And before leaving, they wished Harry the best of luck.

Also, Naruto advised him to suppress himself a little so that no one would suspect his true power.

The group of friends split up to go to the stands of their respective houses and swore to support Harry from there.

Meanwhile, in the locker room, Harry and the rest of the team were changing into green Quidditch robes (Gryffindor played scarlet).

Captain Marcus Flint gave a speech, or rather an order to his team that they will win no matter what.

Harry could tell that Flint was telling them to cheat without hesitation.

Afterwards Harry followed the team out of the locker room, and stepped onto the field to cheers and applause.

Madam Hooch was acting as referee. She was in the middle of the field, waiting for the two teams, with her broom in hand.

-"Well, I want a fair match and no problems, from everyone"-

Madam Hooch told them, when they were gathered around her.

Harry noticed that she seemed to be addressing especially the Slytherin captain, Marcus Flint, a fifth year boy. He thought he had some kinship with the giant troll. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his foster father jumping up and down and cheering him on from the teachers' stands. He blushed with embarrassment at that.

-"Get on your brooms, please,"-

Madam Hooch said, as the students mounted their respective brooms. Harry climbed onto his Thunderbolt.

Madam Hooch gave a long blast on her silver whistle.

Fifteen brooms rose high, very high into the air. And they were very far away; but only Harry had climbed up at almost lightning speed.

-"And the Quaffle is immediately caught by Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor... What an excellent chaser this young lady is, and by the way, she's very pretty too..."-

-"JORDAN!"-

-"I'm sorry, Professor."-

The Weasley twins' friend, Lee Jordan, was the commentator for the match, watched closely by Professor McGonagall.

-"And he really hits it well, a nice pass to Alicia Spinnet, Oliver Wood's great discovery, as he was a reserve last year... Johnson again and... No, Slytherin have taken the Quaffle, Slytherin captain Marcus Flint grabs the Quaffle and off he goes... Flint flies like an eagle... He's about to... No, he's stopped by an excellent move by Gryffindor's Keeper Wood and Gryffindor have the Quaffle... Here's Gryffindor's Chaser Katie Bell, nice flight around Flint, she's off the pitch again and... Aaayyyy! That must have hurt, a Bludger hit on the back of the head... Quaffle in Slytherin's possession... Adrian Pucey picking up speed towards the goal posts, but he's blocked by another Bludger, sent in by Fred or George Weasley, I don't know which... Nice move by the Gryffindor Beater, and Johnson again in the game... Possession of the Quaffle, the field cleared and off she goes, she really flies, she avoids a Bludger, the goal posts are there... Come on, now Angelina... Keeper Bletchley dives... She doesn't make it... GRYFFINDOR GOAL!"-

The screams of the Gryffindors filled the cold air, along with the whistles and moans of Slytherins.

Above them, Harry flew over the game, waiting for some sign of the Snitch. That was part of the plan they had with Flint.

Harry decided to limit his senses so as not to find the Snitch in the first seconds of the game; he had to give the opposing team a chance to win the game.

When Angelina scored a point, Harry did somersaults to dispel his boredom, and returned to watch for the arrival of the Snitch. At one point he saw a golden glow, but it was the reflection of one of the Weasley twins' watch; In another, a Bludger decided to chase him, like a cannonball, but Harry dodged it without problems.

Meanwhile Jordan continued narrating.

-"Slytherin takes possession"- said Lee Jordan. -"Chaser Pucey dodges two Bludgers, the two Weasleys and the Bell chaser, and accelerates... wait a minute... Isn't that the Snitch?"-

A murmur ran through the crowd, as Adrian Pucey dropped the Quaffle, too busy looking over his shoulder at the golden flash, which had passed by his left ear.

Harry saw it clearly. In a burst of excitement he launched himself down, after the golden flash. The Gryffindor seeker, whose name he didn't know, had also seen it. Nose to nose, they launched themselves towards the Snitch... All the chasers seemed to have forgotten what they were supposed to do and were suspended in the air to watch.

Harry was much faster. He could see the small ball, flapping its wings, flying forward. He increased his speed and...

*BOOM!*

A roar of fury echoed from the Gryffindors in the stands... Marcus Flint had blocked the Gryffindor Seeker's path, to divert his broom's direction, and he was holding on to keep from falling.

Harry suddenly braked to watch the whole accident caused by his teammate.

-"Foul!"-

The Gryffindors screamed.

Madam Hooch angrily shouted at Flint, and then ordered a free kick for Gryffindor, at the goal post. But in all the confusion, the Golden Snitch, as expected, had disappeared again.

Without further ado, Lee Jordan continued commenting and found it difficult to be impartial.

-"So... After this obvious and disgusting cheating..."-

-"Jordan!"-

Professor McGonagall scolded him.

-"I mean, after this blatant and disgusting foul..."-

-"Jordan, don't say I didn't warn you...!"-

-"Alright, alright. Flint almost kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure, so penalty to Gryffindor, Spinnet catches it, throws it, nothing happens, and play continues, Gryffindor still in possession of the ball."-

Harry sighed upon hearing that. He was clearly bitter about his Captain's dirty deed.

Then he continued his flight in search of the Snitch…

...

.....

....

...

In the teachers' seats, Lord Voldemort, the Dark Wizard, didn't know what to think about the person in front of him.

Since his "death" on Halloween night in 1981, he had been through his worst time, fearing he would never regain his body or his powers, forced to spend the rest of eternity as something barely alive, more subtle than a ghost, unable to do anything for himself.

He only retained the ability to occupy the bodies of others, however, he did not dare to go to places with an abundance of people, because the Aurors were still looking for him.

Sometimes he inhabited the bodies of animals and Albanian peasants, preferably snakes, but they were of little use for practicing magic with them, and possessing them shortened their lives; none of them lasted very long.

But then one day, ten years later, a young wizard named Quirinus Quirrell, the current Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, appeared in the same forest where Voldemort was hiding.

When he managed to shrink it, he bent it to his will, making Quirrell his servant, and returned to England, while planning to achieve a special goal that would help him come back to life.

The first attempt to steal the object, which was in Gringotts, had failed. Due to Quirrell's failure, Voldemort possessed him, making his head grow behind Quirrell, to hide this, Quirrell covered his head with a turban, saying that it had been given to him by an African prince after saving him from a zombie.

So that no one would suspect him, Quirrell began to stutter and pretend to be afraid.

But when the new school year began, Voldemort achieved a new goal.

To kill for once the culprit who made him be in this ghost form.

The Boy-Who-Lived, Harry Potter...

The moment he saw him, during the house selection, a great anger had invaded Voldemort. Though he had been surprised when the boy had been sorted into Slytherin House instead of Gryffindor, believing the boy to be a typical brave, airheaded Gryffindor.

Out of a moment of curiosity, Voldemort aggressively sent out a [Legitimacy] probe, to read his mind and memories, in an attempt to find out more about the boy.

And that was the second time he was surprised in the same day...

To his surprise, the Potter boy possessed powerful [Occlumency] barriers that withstood the probe without problems.

It was at that moment that Voldemort began to keep an eye on the boy during his days at Hogwarts.

And there he discovered several things...

First, was that the Potter boy was a genius; an unparalleled prodigy in all subjects. Voldemort even thought for a second that the boy was smarter than him in his school days, but his enormous arrogance had quickly removed those thoughts from his head.

The second thing he noticed was that the boy was dangerously charismatic; Voldemort was sure that the vast majority of the teachers thought great things of Potter.

And lastly was that the Potter boy was cunning. Voldemort could clearly see how the boy thought cunningly about what he said and expressed so that everything went his way. If it weren't for the great hatred he felt towards him, Voldemort could have seen Harry Potter as he was at his age.

Voldemort also noticed how Potter created the first group composed of students from the four houses. Seeing a Gryffindor, a Ravenclaw, two Hufflepuffs and four Slytherins get together and live together as friends was something surprising for Voldemort.

With all this evidence, Voldemort quickly concluded that the Potter boy was more dangerous than he believed. That's why he organized a plan with his accomplice Quirrell to end Potter's life once and for all. The plan was to curse the boy's broom during the game, with the aim of killing him and making it look like an accident.

But just minutes into the plan, Voldemort turned his attention to someone else.

From his position on the back of Quirrell's head, Voldemort was able to clearly see that person; who was just sitting in the back of the teachers' seats.

That person was none other than Harry Potter's adoptive father...

-(Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze...)- Voldemort thought, looking at Naruto. -(What a strange name)-

The moment Voldemort looked at the so-called Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze this morning, a great curiosity invaded him; and that curiosity increased when he found out that this man had been raising the Potter boy.

But the curiosity quickly turned into amazement when he noticed something when the man spoke to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore, one of the most powerful wizards in the world...

He was afraid of Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze...

It was very easy for him to notice how Dumbledore became more and more nervous during his conversation with the man. Dumbledore obviously knew that this man was more dangerous than he saw at first glance.

And Voldemort couldn't help but feel almost the same. The man gave off an aura of mystery and power that made his spirit tremble.

And that quickly intrigued him...

In order to find answers, Voldemort sent out a stealthy [Legitimacy] probe, in an attempt to read the man's mind.

...

.....

....

...

The first thing Voldemort saw was not any memory or thought; what he saw was a very different environment. He was in a sewer of sorts; countless pipes surrounded him, many broken and leaking, and others covered by darkness.

Voldemort looked down to see that the water completely covered the floor; there was enough to completely cover his feet.

-"What is this...?"-

Voldemort wondered, looking at his surroundings in confusion.

-"Well, well... What do we have here?"-

Suddenly Voldemort was paralyzed. The voice he had just heard was very serious and full of evil, which made him shiver.

-"It seems we have..."-

Then Voldemort began to tremble when, in the middle of that darkness, an eye appeared.

-"An intruder"-

Voldemort slowly backed away with fear evident on his face. The eye was larger than a developed human being, it was blood red, along with a black slit-shaped pupil.

Slowly the eye rose upwards to show the full body of the owner of said eye.

What Voldemort saw made him fall backwards to the ground in terror.

Before him, was the most enormous creature he had ever seen. At first glance it was a gigantic Kitsune with red-orange fur and red eyes, it had an upper body structure of a human being, with opposable thumbs on its clawed hands. The most striking thing was its nine long fox tails.

Voldemort was able to sense the fox's power. Its very presence made him feel like an insignificant ant.

But then his terror increased when eight other gigantic creatures appeared around him.

-"Hahahahahahaha!"- The raccoon-like being made of sand laughed maniacally. -"It seems we have a slippery little snake with us."-

-"How brave of you to come in here."- The giant red gorilla-monkey like being smiled in a way that sent a chill down Voldemort's spine. -"It seems you're not afraid of death."-

-"You might as well invade our domain."- The giant two-tailed cat-like being made of blue fire glared menacingly at Voldemort. -"That deserves punishment."-

The sand raccoon smiled macabrely. -"I say we kill it!"-

All the other creatures agreed with that.

-"I agree!"-

-"Yes, let's do it!"-

-"What if we eat it?"-

-"No, it looks like it tastes horrible"-

-"Yes, let's just kill it"-

-"Yes, you're right..."-

-"Then it's decided!"- The gigantic fox looked at the pale Voldemort. -"Let's kill the snake!"-

-"NOOOOOOOOO!"-

Voldemort let out a heart-rending scream, then quickly left Naruto's mind.

...

.....

....

...

Voldemort sighed in relief when he left Naruto's mind, but his spirit still trembled in fear of the creatures.

Then he noticed something. When Voldemort looked up, he could see Naruto staring directly at him.

That surprised him. Naruto was looking at him as if he knew he was in the back of Quirrell's head.

But what made him shiver was that smile he was giving him.

And he knew what that smile meant...

-"If you do anything to my son, I'll kill you."-

That was enough to convince Voldemort.

-- Voldemort shouted, making the aforementioned almost jump at the sudden action. --

That order certainly surprised Quirrell. --

-- Voldemort then shivered. --

Voldemort couldn't do anything. Much less when that monster (Naruto) is present.

The only thing he could do now was to hope that Naruto was far enough away from Hogwarts so he could plan Potter's death again; as well as plan new measures for this new threat called Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.

Without him noticing, Naruto smiled satisfied, as if he knew what really happened.

...

.....

....

...

Harry continued to walk around, looking for the snitch. While Lee continued to comment on the game.

-"Slytherin in possession... Flint with the quaffle... He passes it to Spinnet, who passes it to Bell... A bludger hits him hard in the face, I hope it breaks his nose (it was a joke, professor), Slytherin scores a point, oh, no..."-.

The Slytherins cheered.

Harry looked at the whole scene, until something caught his eye.

He had spotted the Snitch...

-(There you are!)-

Harry smiled and lunged at the Snitch like lightning.

The Snitch was fast enough, but the Thunderbolt was even faster.

When the Gryffindor Seeker noticed Harry's movement, he quickly followed in an attempt to catch the Snitch first.

But it was all in vain...

Harry had already caught the Snitch.

-"I have the Snitch!"-

With that said, Madam Hooch stopped the match with a blast of her whistle and declared the winners.

-"Slytherin wins!"-

The Slytherins cheered and the Gryffindors groaned in frustration. Lee Jordan reluctantly announced the result. Slytherin had won by one hundred and seventy points to sixty. But Harry heard nothing; He was being cheered on by his friends and family.

-"Way to go, Harry!"-

-"You were amazing!"-

-"You could show him what we Slytherins can do!"-

-"That's my son!"- Naruto shouted, putting Harry on his shoulders. -"The best Seeker in the world!"-

Harry blushed in embarrassment. -"It's not that bad"-

And so the group continued celebrating.

...

.....

....

...

But of course, not everything could be happy times...

After the match, normal classes at Hogwarts would begin. At that moment, the torture of the teachers and Harry began.

During all of Harry's classes, Naruto was in a corner of the room, supervising everything with a serious look that made the teachers nervous. While Harry was dying of the embarrassment he felt.

And all that torture lasted all day until dinner time.

-"Well, it's time for us to go"-

Naruto said, standing outside with the rest of the Uzumaki Family, in front of the entrance to Hogwarts Castle. Not long ago they were having dinner with Harry and his friends.

And after saying goodbye to the young wizards, the Uzumaki Family went outside to have a private farewell with Harry.

-"It's nice to see you again"- Harry said, giving his adoptive family a smile. -"Although it won't be long before we see each other again"-

-"That's true"- Fū said. -"We'll see each other again at Christmas"-

-"I can't wait that long!"- Naruto suddenly caught Harry in a crushing hug. -"I'm going to miss you so much, Harry-chan!"-

Harry looked at him in shock. -"You haven't even left and you're already crying!?"-

Haku quickly intervened, again; pulling Naruto's ear.

-"Aahh!"-

-"Well, this is goodbye, Harry"- Haku said, ignoring Naruto. -"We'll see you again at Christmas"-

-"Until then, keep studying"- Yugito said. -"Don't forget your training either"-

Pakura agreed with that last part. -"It's essential that you don't forget that"-

Harry smiled. -"I assure you that I won't stop training"-

-"But don't forget to have fun either!"- Fū said, then gave Harry a mischievous smile. -"And don't forget to have a girlfriend"-

-"Or girlfriends"- Guren added. -"Depending on how things turn out"-

-"I'm sure Harry will have many girlfriends"- Yamato said, almost proudly. -"But remember Harry, only intelligent and strong-willed women are worthy of you"-

Harry blushed massively when the conversation about girlfriends started. And he was grateful that they were alone. But he answered the same, although still very embarrassed.

-"Th-Thank you"- Harry stuttered. -"I'll take your advice into account"-

The girls then said goodbye with a last hug, then walked away and made way for the boys along with Cogman.

The little Akira, Raiko and Hanae quickly hugged Harry and started crying.

-"There, there"- Harry reassured them. -"We'll see each other again very soon"-

-"We're really going to miss you, Harry"- Sasuke said. Akane at his side nodded in agreement. -"We liked it better when you took care of us"- Then she pouted. -"Cogman doesn't let us do anything fun"-

-"I doubt that covering the whole village in pink paint is fun, young master Sasuke"- Cogman said, letting out a tired sigh; something rare to see in a robot. -"Why isn't she like young master Akane? She never causes trouble"-

Akane smiled proudly. -"Thank you, Cogman"-

Sasuke just looked at her blankly.

After that, Harry said goodbye to them. And finally, Naruto approached.

-"Well, son, it was nice to see you again."- Naruto smiled, while ruffling Harry's hair. -"And I'm already looking forward to Christmas. I have something spectacular planned for that day!"-

Harry was excited to hear that. Since Harry's early years, the Uzumaki Family began celebrating Christmas so that he wouldn't be estranged from the different traditions and holidays of his culture. The most exciting thing about Christmas in the Uzumaki Family was the fantastic gifts that Naruto made for everyone; and the best ones were for his children.

To say that Naruto spoils his children would be an understatement...

-"I hope so too."- Harry said, then looked at his father with curiosity. -"By the way, Otō-san. I saw you go talk to Dumbledore in his office before leaving, and it took you a long time. What did you talk about?"-

-"Ah, I told him that I was moderately satisfied with the education at Hogwarts."- Naruto explained. -"Although we also had a little argument about a Cerberus and a Troll accident"-

Harry opened his eyes in shock. -"Really?"- Then he became worried. -"The Headmaster is still alive... Right?"-

He knew very well what it was like to argue with an angry Naruto, and even more so when it involved the safety of his children.

It wasn't a nice sight to see really...

-"Physically he's fine"- Naruto answered, then smiled. -"But mentally... That's another story"-

Harry only doubted he felt sorry for Dumbledore.

Afterwards there were several goodbyes and crocodile tears from Naruto, and a tug on the ear from Haku to reassure him. Then the Uzumaki Family disappeared into a portal.

Harry sighed, then began to enter the castle, preparing for the possible questions he will receive from his friends about his peculiar family.
