The Wrong Dimension (Naruto X HP)

From Hogwarts to Grimmauld 12

It was Friday, the day before winter break. Impatience ran high as students waited for the end of the day.

By now, the ninjas had integrated into the school system while the staff spent the majority of their free time looking for a way to send them back to the Hidden Continents.

All around the school, in the hallways were students talking about their vacation plans. But one word was repeating over and over again, at least once from every wizard or witch.

It was the word 'Christmas'.

Naruto walked up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione who recently just got out from grueling class of Potions.

"Harry, what's Christmas?"

Ron was utterly shocked, "What do you mean? Don't you celebrate Christmas back in your...homeland?"

Hermione wondered about the question, too, before she snapped her fingers in realization, "Since your country is near Japan and is obviously influenced by its culture, does that mean you celebrate the Tanabata Festival?"

Naruto cocked his head, "Yeah. What about it?"

Harry was puzzled, "Ta..naba...ta Festival?"

Hermione nodded, "A day where the Japanese people write wishes for the new year on colorful strips of paper and hang them onto bamboo trees. It's sort of their equivalent to Christmas, just without the gift giving."

She turned back to the curious Naruto, "Christmas, I guess, is similar to your Tanabata Festival back where you live, right? Well, Christmas is similar to it, just without the wish-writing. Instead, we decorate trees and give one another presents."

Naruto brightened, "Thanks. I'll be telling Sakura-chan that now, dattebayo! Bye, Hermione-chan!"

Ron was suspicious about Naruto's new nickname for his best female friend, "Hermione...chan?"

Hermione blushed, "Sort of like a affectionate nickname for uhm 'good' friends."

"Oh, ok."

The trio departed from one another; Hermione to Arithmency while Ron and Harry went to dreaded Divination.

Later on, Sakura approached the three friends as they did their homework near the flickering fireplace.

"Hey, Harry. Naruto explained to me what Christmas was. And I, well me and my friends, wondered if we could, you know, tag along with you with your Christmas plans."

Sakura mentally admitted it was part of their plan to keep an eye on Harry and his friends, just under the gist of innocent curiosity.

Hermione noticeably brightened, "Yes! Well..."

She turned to Harry for confirmation, "Please, Harry? They don't know about Christmas and they can spend their first Christmas here over at...you know, that place."

Harry, catching onto Hermione's plans to invite all of the ninjas over to Sirius's place, shrugged then nodded, "Sure. They look like the type to keep certain secrets."

Hermione went back to he patiently waiting pink-haired nin, "Yes, you may! Come down to the common room on December 24 tomorrow at 9 AM. We'll be taking the Knight Bus, along with Fred and George, to our...vacation house."

Sakura nodded, relieved that her charge didn't argue and agreed to let them tag along with him.

"Sure and...thanks for letting us tag along with you all for Christmas."

With that, Sakura went back to her co-ed dorm room, to confirm with Shikamaru on them all going with their wizard friends.

December 24 came and went by the ninjas at a fast pace.
