Hello readers, thank you for taking a look at my newest Fanfiction. I recently re-watched all of the Harry Potter movies and knew that I had to do a crossover with Naruto. I'll be going off of the books so uploads may be a bit slow as I've never read the books before so I'll be writing a new chapter as I've read a chapter from the book. I really hope that I can have the drive to finish at least the first book, know that i will try as hard as I can.

Now, as you probably noticed, the main pairing is Naruto and Hermione. I want to keep as many cannon pairing as possible, but I want to know who you as the readers would like to see Ronald paired with, if anyone, in the coming Fics I hope to write. Also please take a look at the bottom of this chapter, I've put up a few questions I would like answered, think of them as your personal input into the story.

Thank you again for reading this, Cheers.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, his head resting in one hand propped up on a large circular table as the other tapped the piece of furniture. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, hadn't even been dead four hours and Sarutobi had been forced to don the robes of the Hokage once more, a position he had hoped he had finally avoided for good, as well as stop the majority of the Hidden Leaf village's council from already calling for the death of Naruto Uzumaki, the son of Minato but named after his mother Kushina Uzumaki for both political and safety reasons.

"I have nothing personal against the boy, truly, and while I do not wish to see him dead we must be reasonable about this. If the boy if regrettably put to death than the beast dies with him, it won't have another chance to do what it did tonight ever again. Surely the life of one newborn baby is worth that peace." Called out Homura, one of the council's Elders and one Sarutobi's personal advisors who had also been a member of his Gennin team alongside Koharu, another Elder and advisor.

Calls of acknowledgement sounded around the room many coming from the civilian portion of the council. Those of the Shinobi council, the heads of the Ninja Clans within Konoha, remained stoic, not uttering a word, their faces masking any emotions they truly felt. Sarutobi couldn't blame Homura, along with the civilians for what they wanted, it was somewhat justified. The Nine Tailed Fox demon had just torn their homes and families apart, Sarutobi was sure that almost everybody in this room had lost someone they held dear tonight, Sarutobi was no exception. His wife of many years, Biwoko, had been found dead in the hidden chamber that Naruto had been born in, away from the village. Hiruzen knew it was not the work of some demon that now resided inside the small frame of the blonde headed boy that was being held in Jiraiya's massive embrace behind him, giant Demon Foxes didn't use kunai.

The only people that knew what truly happened were Minato and Kushina, now both dead at the hands of the very beast that they had re-sealed in their son Naruto. Minato and Kushina were considered two of the greatest Shinobi of their generation, with Minato having a reputation rightly feared throughout the Elemental Nations, but Sarutobi had always known that there was something different about the two of them, Jiraiya was the person closest to the couple but he had always refused to comment on any of Sarutobi's questions regarding them.

The council continued to petition for young Naruto's death until Jiraiya spoke up, silencing the entire room in the process.

"You people know nothing about Tailed Beasts do you?" he asked rhetorically, not expecting an answer from anyone, and nor did he. "Yes, Tailed beasts are enormous constructs of extremely potent Chakra and being Chakra they cannot, in any way, be killed. Tailed Beasts can only be sealed within a small child which then becomes a Jinchuriki, literally meaning human sacrifice. If you did kill Naruto tonight," said Jiraiya as he motioned towards the small child in his arms, "the Fox would disappear yes, but it would come back just as strong and twice as angry in little under twenty years. By killing Naruto, you would be condemning your children to what we faced earlier tonight, and without Minato there will be no stopping the Fox a second time, even I don't know the Seals that he used to seal the Fox." Explained Jiraiya, clearly angry at the way his godson was being talked about.

That revelation caused the civilian side of the council to pale considerably, the colour draining from their faces. Sarutobi decided to seize the initiative. He stood up and began to circle the large room.

"Naruto is the only thing stopping this from happening. Through his sacrifice your husbands and wives are spared the horrors of the Nine Tailed Fox, your children will be spared the very same heart ache that you are feeling right now. Young Naruto's sacrifice tonight, even though he doesn't know it yet, had saved the entire Hidden Leaf Village. I know that as Hokage once more I have power over the village and its inhabitants, but I cannot think and make decisions for you, all I ask is that you don't take your anger out on Naruto, he himself hasn't done anything wrong, and I implore you to see that." Said Sarutobi as he motioned for Jiraiya to follow him from the Council chambers, Naruto still held in his godfathers arms.

Finally arriving at his old office, Sarutobi slumped down into the large leather bound chair, the large window behind him showed only the devastation that had been wrought upon the village in the last 24 hours. Burning buildings dotted the night horizon like campfires in a dark field. Smoke rose from almost every quarter of the village, forming a thick and oppressive cloud above the smouldering village. Sarutobi sighed, buildings and walls could be rebuilt, but the families torn apart tonight could never be mended properly.

"There will be some that won't listen, you know that don't you Jiraiya?" he asked, not expecting an answer. "There will be those that will shun Naruto, making him feel alone, we must make sure that he always has us to turn to."

"Where will he live? I won't be here to take proper care of him, the village needs me now more than ever." Said Jiraiya weakly. Sarutobi understood the man's grief, he had just lost his two greatest friends in the matter of a few hours.

"He will be placed in the orphanage as soon as it has been repaired, he will live a normal life, as normal as it can be and when he grows up, if he wants to become a Shinobi like his parents than he has only but to ask." Said Sarutobi, his eyes still fixed on his burning village.

"Will he be told of his parents? He has a right to know who they were." Said Jiraiya, and from his tone of voice it was clear that it was not a subject he would drop lightly.

"In time, when he is ready we will tell him, but not for many years. Yes he has the right to know, and he will, but for the time being he has no need to know, I don't want him growing up spoiled just because of who his parents were." Said Sarutobi calmly. Jiraiya cleared his throat loudly and Hiruzen caught on quickly.

"What do you know about them that I haven't been told?" he said, catching Jiraiya by surprise if the shocked expression on his face was anything to go by. Sarutobi chuckled as his chair turned to face his student completely.

"I always knew there was something strange about them, I suppose you knew what it was then?" he asked.

Jiraiya scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Uh, haha, yeah I guess I did, but it would be better if the words came from Minato than from me." He said, confusing Sarutobi greatly.

"What are you talking about now Jiraiya, Minato is dead, no different from Kushina."

"I know, I know just trust me ok." Said Jiraiya as he carefully placed Naruto's tightly wrapped form on the desk in front of his and reached into his jacket pocket and produced a small envelope from inside and handed into over to Sarutobi.

"Minato gave that to me right before he took off to seal the Fox, it should explain everything. Oh and just a tip, try not to freak out when you open it." Said Jiraiya as he chuckled lightly. Sarutobi took the offered letter quickly, not really understanding what Jiraiya was talking about, it was only a letter, just a piece of paper, why would he freak out? The letter itself was addressed to himself, the script used was elegant and clearly written onto the yellowed parchment paper with a quill. Sarutobi turned the letter over in his hands and broke the wax seal. He didn't know what was happening, as soon as the seal was broken the envelope began to shake, violently.

"Let it go." Jiraiya said simply. Sarutobi complied somewhat reluctantly, still not understanding what was going on. Even though the letter had no one holding it up, it remained floating in the air above Sarutobi's desk. The letter unfolded itself neatly, before taking on the rough shape of a human mouth.

"Sarutobi, Jiraiya, if you listening to this, then I guess that means that Kushina and I died tonight, I'm sorry for leaving you with a burning village to attend to but there wasn't much else I could do, the Fox had to be stopped, I just hope that when Naruto learns of what I did that he will forgive me. The first thing you need to know about Kushina and I Sarutobi is that we were not technically Ninja at all. You may not believe me, though this letter should be enough proof, we were both what you would call Witches and Wizards.

We use magic instead of Chakra to fight our battles, and young Naruto will be the same. The day he turns eleven, Naruto will receive a letter by Owl, an invitation to join a school for people like him, the very same day I have arranged for someone to come and collect Naruto, don't worry, I'm sure you'll know him when you see him.

The life Naruto will face in the village will be that of an outcast. As much as I love the villagers I know that they will not see Naruto as I do, the Hero of the Leaf. The man that comes to collect Naruto will be taking him to a much better place, I only ask one thing of you Sarutobi, consider it my final request. If Naruto decides that he wishes to stay there, you WILL respect his wishes and leave him alone, you'll be able to receive and send letters to him, but that is it.

Oh and don't worry about giving him Ninja training, he won't need it because he won't have any chakra other than from the Fox. Though please keep him physically fit. I have spoken with Kakashi, he doesn't know any of this, only that I have asked him to train Naruto. Please respect my last wishes Sarutobi, that is all I ask.

Goodbye."

When the letter had finished reciting Minato's last words, it began to 'eat' itself leaving behind nothing but torn up pieces of paper on Sarutobi's desk. The aged Hokage had seen a lot of strange things in his time, but this without a doubt took first place. He could only stare at what remained of the enchanted letter before looking up at Jiraiya with a dumbstruck look on his face.

Jiraiya himself was trying to hold in his laughter, he failed, miserably. "You should see the look on your face, priceless. It was the same for me when Minato first showed me his magical abilities, I didn't believe it at first but I soon got used to it." He said. Sarutobi just nodded dumbly, looking down at the sleeping form of Naruto on his desk, something inside him knew that Naruto was destined for great things.

Time Skip: 11 Years (Sorry but I didn't really feel like writing eleven years of gaff)

Naruto's day began like any other really. He woke up in the early hours of the morning, quickly got himself dressed in a pair of full length black pants and a white T-shirt with what he was told was the Uzumaki swirl on the back. The Third Hokage had seen fit to give Naruto his own place to live in on his 7th Birthday, his time in the Orphanage hadn't been very pleasant, he wasn't hurt or anything, no not at all, he was ignored, food would come hours later than everyone else's and on adoption days he was told to stay in his room. Not that Naruto really minded, it gave him time to practice.

He couldn't remember when he found out, but he could do things, things that he and the Hokage, or his grandfather and Naruto had come to call him, couldn't really explain. He could move things without touching them if he focused hard enough, he could change the colour of people's clothes if he wanted to, he had used this to his advantage during a number of his infamous pranks, like when he changed the colour of the Hyuga clans robes to a bright pink, Sarutobi hadn't been too pleased with Naruto when he had heard about it but when he saw the damage for himself, he was hard pressed to keep a straight face when Hiashi had stormed into his office calling for Naruto's head.

Though there were sometimes when what he could do scared Naruto. One day at the Orphanage, a group of boys thought it would be fun to beat on Naruto because he was smaller than them. In a fit of anger and fear in equal measure Naruto had managed to throw all four boys across the room rendering them unconscious with a number of nasty bruises. It was that then that Sarutobi decided it would be best to take Naruto from the orphanage.

The village as a whole didn't treat Naruto badly but neither did they treat him nicely. Store owners would be reluctant to allow him into their stores and parents usually had their children avoid Naruto. As a result Naruto didn't really have any friends his age. He would occasionally meet with Shikamaru Nara or Choji Akimichi, but these meetings were few and far between.

Thouhg this didn't worry Naruto much, he spent the majority of his time with Kakashi who had become somewhat of a pseudo brother to him, taking him out to play or for dinner at his favourite Ramen bar, owned by one of the few people who were kind to Naruto. At the age of 7 Naruto was devastated when he learned that he would be unable to join the Ninja Academy with everyone else, apparently he had some kind of condition that left him almost void of chakra entirely, but his grandfather had assured him that when he was older, 11 in fact, that he would be in for a great surprise.

Naruto stopped dead in his tracks. He knew there was something he had forgotten this morning. He bolted into the kitchen and checked the calendar on his fridge, multiple red X's covered the dates, all but one, October 10th. Naruto jumped for joy, it was his 11th Birthday today, he couldn't wait for all the surprise the Old Man had promised him. Behind him there was a rather loud knock on his window, and when he turned around, there was Kakashi, tapping on the window with one hand while the other held a large package wrapped in colourful paper. Naruto ran over and let Kakashi in before launching into a bear hug with the man.

"Yo." Said Kakashi, his usual, easy going attitude ever present, a trait Naruto himself had dubbed as awesome. "Happy Birthday Naruto." He said as he pulled Naruto off of him and handed him his gift before stepping off the windowsill and into Naruto's apartment. It had been three years since the Hokage had asked Kakashi to begin training Naruto physically to get him fit and healthy, he didn't understand why at first as he sadly knew that Naruto would never be a Ninja but when Sarutobi had told him that it had been Minato's last wish he remembered the conversation he had had with his sensei the night he died, he didn't understand the request then but he knew better than to question it. In those three years Naruto had come along nicely, he had become quite the athlete. Fit, healthy and fast on his feet, Naruto prided himself as being a very acrobatic person.

"Thanks Kakashi, what'd you get me?" asked a very excited Naruto. Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Open it and have a look." He said. Naruto quickly went about tearing at the paper, desperately trying to get at his present, he only got around three or four presents each year so he was really excited whenever he got one. The first thing Naruto had noticed about the box was that even though it was fairly small, it had a fair bit of weight inside of it. When Naruto pulled the lid from the box his eyes lit up. Inside, on a bed of red fabric was and old looing, tattered and slightly torn Konoha Shinobi headband, the metal plate sported a number of scratches and signs of wear and tear but to Naruto it was no less amazing.

"It's the headband I wore before I became a Jounin. I thought that seeing as thought you couldn't become a ninja yourself, you might still like to have one of these." Said Kakashi with an eye smile.

Once again, before he knew what hit him Kakashi found himself being tackled again by Naruto.

"Thanks a bunch Kakashi, I'll take care of it forever, but I can't wear it because I'm not a ninja so I'll just take good care of it." Said Naruto as he looked up at Kakashi with a smile on his face. The Cyclops ninja patted Naruto on the back softly.

"You can do whatever you want with it Naruto, it's yours now after all."

The two were broken from their moment by a loud hooting sound. Naruto, being ever curious, quickly looked behind Kakashi to see a bird he had only read about in books, a rather large, brown and black feathered Owl, holding what seemed to be a letter in its sharp beak. Kakashi on the other hand was slightly suspicious at first, especially when he noticed that the letter itself was addressed to Naruto personally, but he faintly remembered the Hokage mentioning something like this would happen on Naruto's 11th birthday. Seeing no harm in it, he urged Naruto forward.

"Go on Naruto, it looks like it's for you." He said. Naruto wasted no time, walking over to the bird calmly so as to not frighten it. The Owl seemed content to let him take the letter from its beak before giving its wings a great flap before it took off again and out the window back to wherever it was that it came from.

"For me huh? Should I open it now?" asked Naruto. Kakashi smiled again.

"I don't see why not, go ahead." And so he did. Naruto sat at his kitchen table breaking a large wax seal on the back of the letter that seemed to be stamped with some kind of shield. Naruto would have gone on to read the letter if it had not been for Kakashi stopping him.

"Oh how silly of me, I almost forgot. The Hokage wanted me to bring you to him after you got that letter. Hmm, must have slipped my mind." He said with a smile.

"You always forget important stuff Kakashi, hurry up and do your poof thing, I hope this is my surprise that the Old Man told me about." Said Naruto excitedly. Kakashi smiled before taking Naruto's arm and performing a quick Shunshin.

The Third Hokage was having a quiet morning, sitting in his office and drinking a small cup of tea. He was waiting for Kakashi to arrive with Naruto, he had seen the Owl fly off from Naruto's window from his office window and expected them in front of him at any moment. He was not to be disappointed when a small cloud of smoke announced the arrival of the young boy. In his hand he clutched a small envelope that had only just been opened, he was glad to see that it was opened but not read yet.

"Ah, there you are, Happy Birthday Naruto." He said in a warm tone. Naruto beamed up at him happy to see his 'grandfather'.

"Thanks Old Man." He said before he help up the letter in front of him. "Is this the surprise you told me about a few years ago?" he asked. Sarutobi smiled, it was clear that Naruto was in too excited of a mood to want to listen to anything that didn't have anything to do with the letter.

"Yes, I believe it is Naruto, why don't you come and sit over here and give it a read?" said Sarutobi as he gestured for Naruto to sit down in one of the chair's in front of his desk. Naruto quickly made his way across the room to sit down before he pulled the letter from its envelope. His eyes skimmed to top of the page and his eyes widened considerably. He began to read the letter aloud so that Kakashi and the Hokage could hear him.

When Naruto had finished reading the letter, he found himself quite amazed with what he had just read. He had been personally invited to join a school, but not just any school, a school devoted to the learning of MAGIC. It would certainly explain the unnatural abilities he had shown over the years, and he didn't know why, but it felt really good to be wanted somewhere.

Kakashi on the other hand didn't know quite what to make of it. At first he thought it was some kind of joke, but he knew the Hokage wasn't that crule, especially to Naruto, and when he looked to the elderly leader he received a nod as if to say 'Yes, it's all true'. One thing was bugging Naruto.

"Where is Hogwarts? I've never heard of it before, and what about all of this stuff I've got to have, where do I get it and I don't have any money to buy it with anyway." He pointed out. Sarutobi was quite proud of Naruto's deductive skills, he was glad that all of the book and lessons he had gone through with Naruto had stuck, he was much smarter and deductive than he acted. Sarutobi was about to open his mouth when there was a quite loud popping noise. No more than a few paces to the right of Kakashi stood a man, an incredibly old looking man. He wore a long, dark purple robe covered in moon and star motifs along with numerous other unrecognisable symbols. He had long white hair that reached the base of his back and a lengthy white bear that he would have been able to tuck under his belt if he wanted to. He wore a pair of half-mood spectacles and sported a crooked nose that seemed as if it had been broken once or twice. Quickly realising that this was the man that Minato had mentioned in his letter, Sarutobi quickly made sure that Kakashi wouldn't attack the sudden 'intruder'.

"Stand down Kakashi, I've been expecting him." He said and Kakashi un-tensed, he had been mere moments away from subduing the man. Kakashi gave a slight bow to Sarutobi before stepping aside.

The old man gave a small nod of thanks before setting his gaze on Naruto who had a bewildered and awe filled expression plastered on his face.

"I believe I can help you with your purchases and reaching Hogwarts young Naruto." He said, his voice soft and his tone caring.

"Who are you?" said Naruto, still to amazed at the man's entrance to think of much else to say.

"My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore headmaster at Hogwarts. I've come to take you to London, where you will be going with the schools caretaker Rubeus Hagrid to get the equipment for your First Year at Hogwarts. That is of course if you wish to attend." Said Dumbledore with a small smile.

Naruto didn't know what to say, sure he wanted to go, but could he really just leave Kakashi and the Old Man like this? Sarutobi seemed to read his thoughts perfectly.

"It's ok Naruto, I've been expecting this for a while now, its fine for you to go if you want. I'm sure that Kakashi has no objections either." He said, causing Naruto to turn towards the man that he could without a doubt call his best friend. Kakashi gave him a big smile.

"Go for it Naruto, you may not have had the chance to be a great Ninja, but you can sure as hell be one great wizard, I'm sure of it." He said, giving Naruto a thumbs up in the process. Naruto beamed to hear Kakashi agree with the Hokage.

Turning to Dumbledore, and without giving it another moments thought he spoke.

"When do we leave?"

Dumbledore smiled and leaned closer to Naruto, placing a hand on the young boy's shoulder.

"We can leave as soon as you have your things packed by dear by." He said. His eyes seemed to widen for a moment, as if he had forgotten something incredibly important.

"Alas, I almost forgot, would you like a Sherbet Lemon?"

AN: Ok, thanks for having a read of this guys. Now as I mentioned at the top of the chapter I had a few questions I would like you to give me some answers to in either your reviews, or just in a PM, whichever you prefer. Some of these questions might be for quite serious parts in the story as I want Naruto to have a major role in the Harry Potter story, not just another companion following Harry around.

1) Who, if anyone, would you like to see Ron paired with?

2) Would you like to see Naruto as a Chaser in Quidditch or possibly replace Harry as the seeker and have him take up another role in the team.

3) would you like Naruto to have a 'signature' spell to use?

4) How would you like to see the Nine Tailed Fox come into this story? Like in the Original Naruto, he gets angry and Naruto's attacks get stronger, or something different entirely? Possibly trying to lure Naruto to Dark Magic before Naruto makes him see the light?

Thank you again for reading and please review, tell me what I might be doing wrong, what you want to see happen, and PLEASE IF YOU DO WRITE A REVIEW, DO TRY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS I'VE ASKED.

Cheers.
