Sasuke Uchiha in Harry Potter

Meeting at the Hog's Head II

The next day, Hermione gathered members of Hufflepuff through Justin and Ernie. She informed them that there would be a meeting at the Hog's Head, where they would gather to discuss Defense Against the Dark Arts classes and talk about Umbridge.

The same procedure happened with Ravenclaw, through Padma, Terry, and Anthony.

With Gryffindor, she spoke with Katie Bell, Lavender Brown, Neville Longbottom, Parvati Patil, Dean Thomas, Fred and George Weasley, and Ginny Weasley.

Afterward, she went to talk to Harry again.

Hermione: Well, what do you say, will you teach us?

Harry: Okay, but it's just for you and Ron, right?

Hermione: Well... – She said nervously – Please don't get mad, but I think you should teach everyone who wants to learn.

Ron: We want to defend ourselves from V-voldemort.

Hermione: It wouldn't be fair otherwise; we need to give others the chance to learn as well.

Harry thought for a moment before answering.

Harry: You're right, but I doubt anyone else wants to do it besides us. Everyone thinks I'm crazy.

Hermione: You'd be surprised at how many students want to learn – She said seriously. – The first weekend of October will be the Hogsmeade visit. What do you think about meeting all those who want to learn at the Hog's Head?

During dinner, Ginny Weasley approached the Ravenclaw table to talk with her boyfriend Michael and her friend Luna. She told them about the meeting happening that weekend. Both said they would attend and would bring a few friends.

The next day, Luna informed Zacharias and Sasuke about the meeting.

Zacharias: Ernie already told me about it. I'll be there.

Sasuke: They tried to invite me, but I refused. I have things to do and don't plan on going to Hogsmeade.

Luna: But, Sasuke, we have to go. I believe in Harry. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back.

Sasuke: Sorry, but I don't know who you're talking about.

Luna: But you faced him last year.

Sasuke: I faced a bald guy. I can't identify him unless you have a picture.

Luna: But...

Sasuke: Without a picture, anyone could claim to be He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and everyone would believe it.

Luna didn't say anything, and as she was leaving, she mentioned that she would attend the meeting.

Zacharias: I'll be there too, Sasuke. Hopefully, they'll show proof that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, so you'll believe it too.

It was the weekend, and third to seventh-year students were allowed to visit Hogsmeade.

Meanwhile, the Golden Trio was in a distant pub called the Hog's Head.

Hermione: It seems like the Hog's Head isn't a recommended pub... but I think it's the best place to avoid interruptions or leaks.

They turned onto a side slope, at the top of which stood a small inn. A battered wooden sign hung over the door on a rusty bracket, depicting the severed head of a boar, dripping blood onto the white cloth wrapped around it. The sign creaked in the wind as they approached. The three hesitated at the door.

Hermione: Well, let's go – said Hermione, slightly nervous. Harry entered first. It was nothing like the Three Broomsticks, whose large bar radiated warmth and shining cleanliness. The Hog's Head was a dingy little room, poorly furnished and very dirty, with a strong smell, possibly of goats. The curved windows were so encrusted with grime that very little daylight filtered through, leaving the room lit by stubs of candles on rough wooden tables. At first glance, the floor appeared to be packed earth, but when Harry stepped on it, he realized there was stone underneath what seemed to be a centuries-old layer of filth.

Harry: Not sure how you're feeling, Hermione – Harry muttered as they crossed the room to the bar, eyeing particularly the witch in the heavy veil. – Didn't it occur to you that Umbridge might be under that?

Hermione: Umbridge is shorter than that woman – she muttered back. – And even if she comes here, there's nothing she can do to stop

Harry: Alright.

The barman emerged from a back room and approached them. He was a surly-looking old man with thick, gray hair and beard. He was tall and thin, and Harry thought he looked vaguely familiar.

Barman: What'll it be?

Hermione: Three butterbeers.

The man reached under the counter and pulled out three very dusty, very dirty bottles, slamming them onto the bar.

Barman: Six sickles.

Harry: I'll pay – Harry said quickly, handing over the silver coin.

Ron: You know something? – Ron muttered, looking around the bar eagerly. – We could ask for anything we want here. I bet that guy would sell us anything, wouldn't even care. I've always wanted to try firewhisky.

Hermione: You... are... a prefect – Hermione reminded him sharply.

Ron: Oh! – Ron exclaimed, his smile fading. – Right.

Harry: So, who did you say would be meeting us? – Harry asked, opening the rusty top of the butterbeer and taking a sip.

Hermione: Half a dozen people – Hermione repeated, checking her watch and glancing at the door anxiously. – I asked them to arrive around this time, and I'm sure everyone knows where it is... oh, look, that might be them now.

The door to the pub opened. A wide swath of dust and light momentarily split the room, then disappeared, blocked by the arrival of several people. Neville entered first with Dean and Lavender, followed closely by Parvati and Padma Patil with (and here Harry's stomach flipped) Cho, along with Cedric and one of her giggling friends. Then (looking so dreamy she might have walked in by accident) Luna Lovegood and Zacharias.

Next came Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, and Angelina Johnson, followed by Colin and Dennis Creevey, Ernie Macmillan, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Hannah Abbott, and a Hufflepuff girl with a long braid down her back whose name Harry didn't know; three Ravenclaw boys, who he was sure were Anthony Goldstein, Michael Corner, and Terry Boot, Ginny, followed by a blond, skinny boy with a turned-up nose, whom Harry vaguely recognized as a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, and bringing up the rear, Fred and George Weasley with their friend Lee Jordan, all three carrying large paper bags full of Zonko's products.

Harry: Half a dozen people?! – Harry croaked to Hermione. – Half a dozen people?

Meanwhile, in the Forbidden Forest, Sasuke was leaping from tree to tree as he headed to the base.

He arrived and began working on his new technique. First, he focused on forming a mental image of the technique that would pierce through any type of barrier. Then, he meditated while envisioning the attack as an arrow, but it wasn't powerful enough to break through the target.

Sasuke remembered that Muggle workers used diamond-tipped drills to break through thicker rocks. He had the idea to make the attack spin like a drill tip until he remembered something.

Sasuke: That's it. The movement, the shape of the attack, resembles the Tsuuga (Fang Over Fang) technique of Kiba Inuzuka.

Once it was ready, he would only need to train with enemy clones, without letting any of them slip by. The simple solution was to use the Sharingan, but he didn't want anyone to see it. While meditating, he read a book about changing a person's appearance and had the idea of changing the color of his eyes while using the Sharingan.
