Sasuke Uchiha in Harry Potter - Part 2

Alarming News

Sasuke was at home resting. Thanks to Winki, he had made it back from the Forest of Dean. This new combination of chakra and magic had consumed a lot of energy, so he needed to rest, but first, he reported that there were no problems.

While resting, he thought about how to improve his control over chakra and magic and increase his reserves.

The next day, Sasuke went to the Ministry of Magic. He put on his ID badge, as usual, to pass through the reception area and headed to Minister Bones' office.

Sasuke: Good morning, Ms. Bones, Mr. Scrimgeour.

Amelia: Good morning, Sasuke.

Scrimgeour: Good morning, Mr. Uchiha.

Sasuke: Let's get to the point. How are the defenses of Azkaban?

Scrimgeour: We've strengthened the defensive spells and are also utilizing magical creatures for added defense.

Sasuke: Magical creatures?

Amelia: Yes, I've secured agreements with some of them, granting certain rights in return. For aquatic defense, we have mermaids and mermen; inside the prison, we rely on centaurs.

Sasuke: Impressive. I wouldn't have thought of that. But we still need to strengthen them further. We don't know when Voldemort will attack Azkaban again to free his Death Eaters.

Amelia: For now, this is what we have.

Scrimgeour: As for the Hyde Park attack, there were no collateral damages. We managed to repel the Dementors.

Sasuke: I see, but the Death Eaters' silence makes me suspect they'll act soon.

Amelia: Yes, I understand what you mean; it's the calm before the storm. The Muggle Prime Minister informed me that England's last lunar rocks are under his control and have been hidden with third parties outside the country. As for the weapons that are entering the country, he has requested the elves' support for transportation and recommended General Mack, a former SEAL, to lead the mercenary army.

Sasuke: Scrimgeour, brief him on everything and have him sign the magical contract.

Scrimgeour: Regarding the helicopters, they're operational, but the fighter jets will take some time.

Sasuke: We need to hurry; we don't know how much time we have left.

Someone knocked on the door.

Amelia: Come in.

Percy: Sorry to interrupt, Minister, but Professor Dumbledore is looking for Mr. Uchiha.

Sasuke: Take him to one of the free rooms on the third floor. I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Percy: Yes, sir.

Percy left the office, and the conversation resumed.

Sasuke: Ms. Bones, do you know any goblins who are blacksmiths?

Amelia: A blacksmith? I'm not sure, but I can look into it for you.

Sasuke: I want one of them to make me a katana like this.

Sasuke pulled a katana from an expandable pouch and handed it to Bones.

Amelia examined the katana, thinking the design was simple.

Amelia: You don't want any gemstones inlaid?

Sasuke: No, I want it like this. If possible, I'd like four. Price is not an issue; let the blacksmith name his price.

Amelia: Understood. I'll look into it, but it may take time.

Sasuke: No matter. I'll take my leave.

Sasuke left the office and headed to meet Dumbledore. He wasn't sure what the professor wanted with him.

When he entered the office, Dumbledore was already seated, sipping tea.

Dumbledore: Hello, Mr. Uchiha. Would you like some tea?

Sasuke: No, thank you. What brings you here, Professor?

Dumbledore: I just wanted to have a chat with one of my students.

Sasuke: Let's cut to the chase; we both know you didn't call me here to talk about school.

Dumbledore sighed, growing serious.

Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha, or should I say, Raven? What is it that you seek?

Sasuke: Excuse me?

Dumbledore: I know you use that name when working in the shadows. Don't try to deny it.

Sasuke: I don't know what you're talking about.

Dumbledore studied Sasuke's expression since mentioning the name "Raven," but Sasuke remained completely unphased.

Ninjas are trained from a young age to control their emotions, a skill useful for infiltration.

Dumbledore: I also know you've killed over 100 wizards in Knockturn Alley.

Sasuke: It wasn't that many.

Dumbledore: So, you don't deny it.

Sasuke: No, because it was self-defense. It was either them or me.

Dumbledore: But those are still murders.

Sasuke: I had no choice. It was the only way to defeat them.

Dumbledore: I'll ask again: what is it that you seek? Power, wealth, titles?

Sasuke: That's none of your concern.

Dumbledore: I am your headmaster.

Sasuke: When those deaths occurred, you weren't my headmaster yet. Besides, ever since I enrolled at Hogwarts, I haven't committed any murders or fatally harmed a student.

Dumbledore: What about Mr. Black?

Sasuke: I recall he tried to kill me, and if it weren't for Mrs. Norris, I'd be dead. That happened right under your nose. Besides, he wasn't a student.

Dumbledore: And in Hogsmeade?

Sasuke: I work for the Ministry as an Auror, so I see no issue. Plus, we're at war.

Dumbledore: Mr. Uchiha, you're walking a path of blood. You're just a boy; let me help you.

Sasuke: I don't need your help, Professor Dumbledore.

They stared at each other for a moment. Dumbledore attempted Legilimency but, once again, failed to enter Sasuke's mind.

Sasuke: Why are you trying to enter my mind?

Dumbledore was taken aback; he hadn't expected Sasuke to notice.

Dumbledore: Just old habits from an old man.

Dumbledore chuckled softly.

In a swift motion, Sasuke pulled a kunai from under his sleeve and threw it at Dumbledore.

Being so close, Dumbledore didn't react in time, but he saw the kunai lodge itself beside him.

Sasuke: A bug.

Dumbledore turned his head and saw a moth pinned to the wall by the kunai.

Sasuke: That's all, Professor. I'm leaving.

Outside the window, Rita Skeeter was watching, trying to get into the room to listen in on the conversation. She had received an anonymous tip about him and needed to learn more. However, when she saw Sasuke Uchiha throw the kunai at the insect, an overwhelming fear gripped her. Her body and mind screamed for her to leave; that boy was dangerous.

The next day, the Daily Prophet's headline read: SASUKE UCHIHA: HERO OR ASSASSIN?
