A/N: Hello everyone! Yes, I'm here with yet another story. Sue me.

With my three-year obsession with Naruto and recently-discovered Harry Potter obsession, this story was inevitable.

For this chapter, it will simply be scenes from the girls' first year as all the good stuff will happen in their second. So I apologize if it seems choppy.

(For those who aren't familiar with any Japanese phrases, hai means yes, -shishou is the ending given to a mentor, -sama is the ending given to someone higher in rank, shinobi means ninja (can be used for either men or women, or both), and kunoichi means a female ninja.)

The pairings will be: SakuraxSasuke, HinataxNaruto, InoxShikamaru, GinnyxHarry, and HermoinexRon.

Disclaimer: I absolutely do not own Naruto or Harry Potter, even though I wish I did. However, I do own my Original Character (OC) Alexis Stone, whilst one of my best friends, Autumn, owns Selene Petri. THANK YOU AUTIE FOR LETTING ME USE HER!

*ahem* Now, onto the story! (:

I hope you all like it, even though this chapter is boring, rushed, and just icky in my opinion.

Trouble

Chapter One:

Prologue – The First Year

It was late – almost too late for the three girls to be functioning. The three stood, arms crossed, in front of the grand mahogany desk. One was a blonde, blue-eyed beauty with a slight look of irritation marring her features. The next was a petite girl with strange pink hair and green eyes glinting with mischief and excitement. The last had soft, lavender locks and strange white eyes nervously locked on anything but the busty woman in front of them.

"You three are assigned a mission," The woman smiled before she easily drank another bottle of sake. The pinkette narrowed her eyes for a moment.

"Tsunade-shishou, why is it so important to tell us now?" She addressed the woman: their Hokage, their village's leader. Tsunade smirked, smashing the glass down onto her desk.

"Now Sakura, I thought you were smarter than that," She grinned, causing the blonde to chuckle a bit, "Hinata's team just returned from another mission a few hours ago. Besides, you still work awful hours at the hospital and there was no way to tell you all sooner." Sakura merely snorted.

"What is the mission about, Hokage-sama?" The blonde asked, growing impatient. Tsunade directed her attention towards her, giving a nod.

"Yes, Ino, I was getting to that part. An old friend of mine living in England has asked the assistance of three of my best shinobi for a two to three year long mission and I have gladly accepted. Now, this might sound strange to you but you need to gather information on a man named Voldemort, previously known as Tom Riddle. My friend is named Albus Dumbledore, and he is the headmaster at the school which you will be attending while you are there." The trio groaned, causing the infamous fifth Hokage to glare.

"Mind you, this is not a normal school in which you are going to. The school is a fine school: Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Dumbledore has called upon my help as there is a connection between magic and chakra, allowing shinobi to control magic the same way they do – with wands. However, shinobi can control and learn magic far faster than a wizard due to the fact that you all already can control and master chakra control, leading you to control magic as well." She finished explaining with a sigh, brown eyes looking to the three shocked teens.

Her prized student, Sakura, cleared her throat. "So, you're saying that we are to go undercover at this school and find out information about this…Moldywart?" She asked, uncertain.

Tsunade sighed, reaching for another bottle of sake. "Hai, but his name is Voldemort. He's a big threat to their world and he has an army of followers called Death Eaters. But basically, everything else you need to be explained will be in your mission scroll and you will be able to ask Professor Dumbledore when he makes the trip out here in two hours. Do you accept?" She rubbed her temples, causing the three to look at each other.

With a grin, Sakura turned back to her mentor. "Hai! We accept!"

The three sat in their own carriage pulled by a strange horse, being pulled away to Hogwarts. Hinata pushed some of her lavender locks from her pale eyes. They had received the rest of the information from Professor Dumbledore – as well as went shopping for supplies and having them drink a potion in which they could also speak in English – the previous day. "W-What do you t-think about the houses?" Hinata asked shyly. Even at fourteen, she was still struggling with her shyness.

"In what way, Hinata? As in what houses we'd each be in or the fact that we will possibly be separated?" Sakura asked, leaning forward a bit.

"M-Mostly the fact that we m-might be separated…" Hinata clarified, fiddling with her fingers.

Ino grinned, her blonde bangs covering half of her face as usual. "Even if we are separated, that doesn't mean we can't hang out OR get this mission done!" She stopped before lowering her voice as they could all sense students around them getting out of their own carriages.

Before they exited, an owl perched itself on the ground, a piece of parchment strapped to its leg. Carefully, Hinata untied it and all three read the badly-written Japanese kanjis, meaning it was Dumbledore.

There's one thing I forgot to mention to you three that will help you on your mission. There is a boy named Draco Malfoy in Slytherin House. His father is thought to be a Death Eater, so befriending him would be beneficial. However, he is a rude git that thinks himself to be a prince. Since you will be foreign exchange students from Japan, he will take interest in you three. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me.

Ino felt a growl rise within her throat as Sakura burst out in her laughter. "He was the one hitting on you on the train!" She giggled with Hinata in Japanese, feeling tears spring to the corner of her eyes. Hinata covered her mouth with her sleeve out of sheer politeness whilst Sakura was too busy clutching her stomach after falling on the floor to try and act polite. Ino fumed.

"That's it Forehead! I'm so kicking your ass!" Ino hissed, ready to grab Sakura by the throat and strangle her. That was until Hinata abruptly stopped laughing and nudged the two. Students had stopped all around them, staring at them with wide-eyes and in confusion.

Still wrapped in rage, Ino turned to them. "What the hell are you staring at?" She snarled, causing most of their faces to be stricken with terror and they scattered.

"It's my pleasure to introduce three lovely foreign exchange students from Japan. But before these Fourth Years are sorted, let me remind you that they should not be treated any differently." Dumbledore's voice roared with authority, reminding the girls of Tsunade.

"First up, Sakura Haruno," With a confident smile, Sakura walked up to the sorting hat. She sat down on the stool, placing the talk hat over her head.

"Hm," It started, clear interest in its tone, "well, right then. You're definitely not fit for Slytherin…ah, I know where to put you…Ravenclaw!" The table with blue and bronze robes jumped up and clapped. Ino wore a scowl, one that clearly said she knew they wouldn't stay together. Of course, only Sakura caught that as she took a second to turn back to them and stick out her tongue.

"Hinata Hyuuga," Dumbledore called out next, smiling to the overly-shy girl. Hinata stumbled as she reached the chair, failing to sit on it as gracefully as Sakura had. People began to chuckle, but one glare from Ino silenced them all. She was still pissed about the Draco situation.

"Ah, you're quite shy…" The hat began to mumble too low for anyone but the three kunoichi to hear. "Like your friend, you're unfit for Slytherin. You're way too kind hearted…" Then, it suddenly shouted, almost causing Hinata to fall off the chair. "Hufflepuff!" The table with yellow and black robes cheered, causing Hinata to flush red.

Impatient as ever, Ino strutted up to the hat even before her name was even called. Dumbledore smiled, though, and announced her name anyway. "And, last but not least, Ino Yamanaka," Ino sat on the stool and placed the hat on her head, hoping that it wouldn't mess up her hair.

"My, you're as hot-tempered as the first one," The hat commented, causing Sakura to smirk. "But…just not enough to make it into Slytherin. I'd say you're…Hufflepuff!" The corners of Ino's lips twitched up into a smirk as Hinata's table clapped, including a smiling Hinata.

Sakura cursed loudly as she ran to potions. She had walked with Ino and Hinata half-way to their Divination class before she realized they had different schedules. Luckily, thanks to her chakra-enhanced feet, she made it just in time. However, there weren't many seats left. She took the seat beside a black-haired Slytherin girl who looked drained.

"I hope you don't mind me sitting here," Sakura muttered, as to not gain attention from Snape. The girl snapped out of her thoughts, turning to her. Her eyes were a deep, bright blue somehow and were surrounded by thick eyeliner. She smiled.

"Oh no, it's fine. I'm Alexis by the way, Alexis Stone." Sakura was a bit off guard. After meeting Draco, she assumed all Slytherins were cold hearted and mean…but this girl was different.

She smiled, giving the girl a curt nod. "Sakura Haruno," Before class started, a piece of parchment flew onto Alexis' desk. Curious as to what it said, Sakura took a glance at what it said when Alexis opened it up.

Lex, can you help me with my homework later? I'm not doing so well in Potions. (If you don't, you know what I can say.)

-Draco

Alexis rolled her eyes and crumpled up what was, at first, a harmless note. Not minding how Professor Snape began to glare at her, she turned around. "Draco, I have no time for your empty threats." Her voice was cold and hollow. Sakura could only guess that she was angered from what he had threatened to spill, but she wasn't frightened. On the contrary, Draco's expression contorted to fright.

"And, pray I ask Miss Stone, what did Mister Malfoy say?" Snape's tone was dark and unimpressed, but Alexis turned to him with a smirk.

"Draco wanted me to duel him later, claiming that he was a better wizard than me." Although her claim had nothing to do with her getting threatened later, her bubbly charm was contagious – even making Snape believe her. A dark look entered his eyes.

"Very well then, if Mister Malfoy wanted to duel with Miss Stone, then duel now. After all, it would be far more entertaining than teaching you bumbling buffoons." With a wave of his wand, his desk and tables moved to the corners of the room, creating a space for the duelists.

Alexis practically skipped to the front and Sakura guessed at why she was so happy – she could easily beat Draco and wanted to make a fool out of him. Draco, on the other hand, walked up with fake assurance.

They stood across from each other before they bowed customarily. Draco sneered, raising his wand first. "Expel-" "Stupefy!" But Alexis was too quick. She visibly seemed to be holding back her power, which Sakura had felt. She had only used Stupefy – a weird but effective spell, in Sakura's opinion – because Snape was there. Otherwise, it seemed she might've seriously hurt him.

With that spell, Draco flew backwards and fell onto his back. He grunted, attempting to get up. But the time he cracked an eye open, Alexis was standing in front of him, her wand pointing in between his eyes. Sakura gave an interested smirk, able to read the girl's expression. 'You tell anyone, Draco, and I'll kill you. That's a promise.' After he gave a frightened nod, she withdrew her wand and sat back down.

Professor Snape stepped in front of the class, eyeing the two duelists. "Now, for the rest of the class," He began, his voice dull and annoyed, "you will write an essay concerning duels and the duel you just witnessed. Be sure to include what they did and what they should have done. Due at the end of class and Miss Stone and Mister Malfoy are excused." He drawled on, causing people to groan. Sakura frowned. There wasn't much to write the in essay he assigned, but she worked hard anyways.

"So wait," Sakura's eyes were wide, mirroring those of Ino and Hinata, "you're Snape's daughter?" They asked a dark-haired Slytherin, Selene Petri. The girl flashed them a smile, showing off her fangs. She was also half-vampire.

"Yeah, but he doesn't know yet." She explained, trailing off and exchanging a wary glance with her best friend, Alexis. They were dressed in elegant dresses, as it was the night of the Yule Ball. It was customary in the Tri-Wizard Tournament for the hosting school to host the ball as well. Selene went with Draco, but they were just friends. The rest of them went with cuties from Durmstrang, one of the other schools there for the Tournament.

Sakura gave the other kunoichi a curious look, wondering just what the two were hiding. That's when Alexis cleared her throat, bringing back the girls' attention. "If you think that's surprising, I think I should tell you all something. Just, please, don't hate me for it…" She trailed off, her eyes glazing over. Ino recognized it as the look that she had whenever she saw Cedric Diggory – her other best friend and the guy she really liked – with his girlfriend, Cho Chang. However, her eyes held more hate than pain.

Sakura and Hinata leaned in, eager to hear the gossip. Even after just a couple of months, Hinata got over her stuttering habit and gained confidence in herself. However, Sakura and Ino virtually remained the same. Sakura was still as curious as ever, Ino was still impatient, and they both had infamous violent streaks.

Alexis bit her bottom lip, before looking up at all of them instead of her black heels. "Voldemort is my father," She whispered, making sure nobody could hear even though there was no one around. "But believe me, I hate that bastard." She hissed, feeling the tears well up in the corners of her eyes.

Sakura gasped in shock, but for more than one reason. 'This…she is our link…' She thought, knowing Ino and Hinata were thinking something similar.

"No way," Hinata voiced out, suddenly feeling sorry for her. She knew what it was like to have a tough father, but having an evil wizard who wanted to take over the world as your father? That was horrible.

Suddenly, Alexis's eyes shot up, but they looked past the three kunoichi in front of her. The trio turned their heads to try to get a glimpse of what she was staring at, and finally saw it. Cho Chang was kissing Harry Potter.

Alexis felt rage surge inside her as she stormed off, her silky dark purple gown trailing on the ground behind her. She looked pissed and ready to kill. Just as Hinata went to stand up, with the intention of calming the girl down, Selene held up her hand.

"Don't worry, Lexie is a big girl. She can handle herself." She smiled, silently watching Alexis as she did. A few minutes later, she burst into a fit of giggles, causing the kunoichi to give her weird stares.

"Sorry, it's just that…well, look," Instead of looking to find Alexis, they spread out their chakra to find her. The, Ino began to giggle when she felt who the person was. Hinata shortly followed, but Sakura was still confused.

"Who's that?" She asked, confused. Ino leaned over and whispered, "That's Cedric, he's Alexis's crush." Now understanding, Sakura giggled along with them as, far from them, Alexis was wrapped in Cedric's arms, their lips locked under the mistletoe.

"Oi, Ino, what is that?" Hinata asked, leaning over Ino's shoulder. It was mail time and a scroll was just dropped on the, now scowling, blonde's breakfast.

"Oh that owl, why I outta…" She growled, already picking up little sayings from the students. Opening up the scroll, what they saw was Tsunade's handwriting.

Girls,

I know that summer is coming up and you all are probably excited to come back to Konoha. However, due to safety precautions, you shall stay in England. Professor Dumbledore shall show you where you are staying within the non-magical (muggle) world. I trust you three are doing well and continue sending useful information to both me and the Professor. I shall visit you during your summer to make sure you are well, and I might even bring you presents. Who knows?

Tsunade

Ino grimaced at the various stains, which she assumed were where drops of sake had landed. She looked over to the Ravenclaw table where Sakura seemed to be in an 'intellectual conversation', but in Ino's words it was a brain fight. She rolled her eyes and decided to show Sakura later.

"We can't go home?" Hinata raised an eyebrow, sipping on her orange juice. She enjoyed all the different food and drinks here, and was secretly glad there was no ramen. She couldn't bear to think of her blonde crush with the ramen obsession back in Konoha.

"Apparently not, because it's such a safety risk." Ino snorted. They rarely spoke in Japanese anymore, as people genuinely stopped listening to their conversations. They became normal and were thought of to be permanent in Hogwarts, and were highly respected. No one was a true stubborn person like Ino, no one was a true kind-hearted person like Hinata, and no one was a true wild-card like Sakura. To top it off, no one had a temper quite like the trio. With having them already figured out, they just weren't as interesting anymore.

"I think she just wants it to be like a real mission – we're supposed to be gone for two to three years, so we will." Hinata thought aloud, scanning the letter again. Ino slapped the top of her head. "Now why didn't I think of that?!" She grinned, pulling Hinata into a hug.

"Oh man, I don't know who to root for now!" Sakura sighed. It was the third task and the champion for Beauxbatons, who Ravenclaw was generally rooting for, Fleur had been captured by the maze and brought back to the room. Selene was quite the same, even though Cedric – who was now Alexis's boyfriend – was a champion, she still didn't know if she wanted to root for him. Whilst Ino and Hinata cheered for Cedric, as he was also in Hufflepuff, within their friend circle – which now included Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini – Alexis was standing next to Cedric's father, Amos.

According to what Alexis had told Sakura, Alexis had only begun talking to Cedric because of Amos. She was walking around Diagon Alley before the start of the year and Amos recognized her from Hogwarts, and began to talk to her. One thing led to another and she was invited to dinner at their home, which led to her going over countless times and becoming good friends with both Cedric and his father.

"I will just shoot myself if Potter wins," Draco remarked, not even bothering to cheer for any of the two Hogwarts students. Next to him, though, Blaise held up a sign for Viktor Krum, as Durmstrang stayed with the Slytherins, like Beauxbaton had stayed with the Ravenclaws, so it was only natural that he felt inclined to root for the Quidditch seeker.

Ino rolled her eyes at Draco's attitude. "By the way you talk about Potter, it's as if you have an obsession…" She trailed off in a hinting manner. Draco turned to her with a disgusted expression.

"Are you out of your bloody mind?!" He gagged, looking at her incredulously. Hinata and Selene began laughing uncontrollably, but they stopped when they heard cheering. They looked back to the floor where Cedric was laying down and Harry clutched onto him, holding the cup. While Selene didn't cheer, she studied Alexis, causing everyone to do the same.

Before everything happened, Sakura narrowed her eyes. She was a skilled medic, and sensing magic and chakra were the same, so she scanned his body like she would do to a shinobi returning from a mission to sense any abnormalities. Cedric…Cedric was dead.

Alexis nearly dropped to her knees before she ran towards Cedric's body. Amos seemed to figure out what happened later than Draco did, since Draco wasn't even paying attention. He was too busy trying to control his anger over Potter's win. But after Amos stopped talking to a man beside him about his son's victory, he realized the cold hard truth.

"CEDRIC!" Alexis had screamed as she held Cedric's limp body in her arms, causing everyone to notice what had actually happened. Her body shook with uncontrollable sobs as soon as Harry yelled that Voldemort had killed Cedric. The three kunoichi froze. Hinata felt her own tears welling up in her eyes. The love of Alexis's life was killed by her own father.

Selene didn't move, still frozen. It seemed as she could almost feel Alexis's pain, it was evident in her blank eyes. Ino gave Sakura a look, one that Sakura interpreted as Ino's way of asking if there was anyway Sakura could save Cedric. With a solemn look, Sakura shook her head as he was dead and she couldn't do a thing.

"I may not know where we're going to be staying during the summer, but you better write to us! You too Alexis!" Ino laughed, engulfing Selene in a big hug. While Sakura had gotten close to Alexis, Ino was close to Selene, and Hinata was equally close to them both. Her personality didn't allow her to pick favorite friends.

"Don't worry, this chick will be staying with me, my mom, and my dad!" Selene grinned, causing Sakura to giggle.

"Have fun with Professor Snape all summer!" Sakura gave Alexis a hug, and the girl half-heartedly returned it. She let a forced laugh escape her.

"Oh, I'll try. You three better come back next year! There is no one who can keep Draco in line like Ino can!" Alexis giggled just as Draco passed them, putting his hand up as his only acknowledgement.

Selene sighed. "Maybe next year Hinata's kindness will rub off on him…" She hoped, earning laughter from everyone around her. "Tch, yeah right!" Sakura snorted behind her hand.

Ino looked up, disgusted. "What hell is this?" She motioned to everything around her. Professor Dumbledore simply smiled.

"This is where you will be staying. It's called an apartment." Hinata raised an eyebrow. "Isn't there motels here?" She asked, hoping for something that was at least familiar in the least bit.

"Yes, but my thoughts were about the motel services that might cause trouble for you. Such as the cleaning service. They might find your weapons…" Dumbledore trailed off, trying to get them to understand his reasoning.

"Oh," They said together, before bowing in appreciation. "Thank you for everything, Professor Dumbledore." The old man gave another smile before disappearing.

Ino placed her suitcases in a room which she would share with Sakura, since it was the bigger room, and Hinata had her own room. "So," She began with a feral smile, "who thinks we should go find a beach somewhere?" Sakura slapped her slightly large forehead and Hinata shook her head.

This was going to be a long summer.
