Do you believe in magic?

For many years, Naruto Uzumaki thought his childish fantasies will all go to waste. He was an avid fan of fantasy books and adventure movies; and sometimes in his lonely days, the blonde would let his imagination travel elsewhere. Is there really such a thing as magic?

He wanted to know, even though people would usually cock him an eyebrow whenever he seeked for answers.

Certainly, he can't blame them. Imagine a sixteen-year-old boy running up to you on a normal day and blurt out, "CAN YOU TAKE ME TO KING'S CROSS STATION!? HOGWARTS NEEDS ME! DATTEBAYO!"

Sigh.

Times came that even Naruto doubted his own sanity. Is it really wishful thinking? Should he be growing out of his old pants and just accept the cold hard reality?

Just when half of him lost hope, the other half stayed loyal to an impossible dream. And Naruto Uzumaki was more thankful for that half of him. Why?

"T-T-This is HOGWARTS!! Yosh.." It took him sometime to compose himself and follow the silver-haired professor inside. Though, his jaw still hung open with disbelief, his heart raced with excitement as they passed through the grand double doors.

"Mr. Uzumaki, keep that mouth shut. Wizards don't gape like that and let their guards down."

But Naruto was too preoccupied to respond. His eyes literally rolled a hundred and eighty degrees just to take in his current surroundings. Floating light orbs were dancing in the air, and when he took a closer look, Naruto realized that they were actually fairies. He can't help but grin and he even greeted the chattering portraits on their way to the headmistress' office. Everything just seems so magical!

He could barely remember how he even got here! All Naruto knew, was when he snuck into his cousin's suitcase to hide from his mom, things became rather amazing after that. A few hours ago, when the blonde's stomach growled in hunger, he managed to get out in that close space, only to find himself onboard a train that led to Hogwarts. After that, he was questioned by this Kakashi guy. Naruto lied and told him he lost his acceptance letter, as to why he was delayed.

And now, here is. Living the dream! Karin's gonna be pissed to see me! He mused to himself.

The professor sighed. His exposed eye looking at Naruto boredly, "Based from your actions and that disturbing facial expression, you'll get lost in the path of wizardry, Mr. Uzumaki," he shrugged then continued, "But let me help you get lost in castle first. Ciao!"

POOF!

Woah! Did he just vanish in a poof of smoke?! Like a ninja?! Awesome!

"COME IN!!"

Came the headmistress' voice when he knocked on the door. When Naruto opened it, he saw a blonde woman wearing mind green wizard robes, sitting behind her table. Hazel eyes studied him and it made the ramen-lover nervous.

"You're just some delusional brat who wanted to know magic, am I right?" She said rather calmly.

Naruto was about to answer when she raised a hand. "Nevermind. We can use some punching bags anyway. Are you fine with Gryffindor?"

And that made him sigh in relief. The excitement drowning him again. He can't wait to learn some magic tricks!

Meanwhile, a raven-haired boy arrogantly walked down the hallway. Several students paused and squeezed themselves to the sides to give way. A smirk formed on his lips especially when a Hufflepuff chick fainted. Tsk. Typical creatures. Frankly, he's been praying to find a witch who wouldn't throw herself at him. Sasuke's never been interested in any girl. To him, they're all just the same.

But having good looks has it advantage.

"Can you do my homework for me, Ino? I'll be out in the Quidditch fields again tonight and.." He didn't need to complete his sentence. Ino enthusiastically nodded her head and grabbed his textbook.

Sasuke sighed and went back to listening to their Charms teacher.

His eyes wandered around the room until it landed on a certain blonde he never seen before. That particular guy was sitting in front of class. He had short, spiky hair and..what in the name of sorcery? Is he wearing an orange jumpsuit?!

Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows. Has the school gone mad? Why are they letting freaks in?

From his left, Karin Uzumaki popped into his view. "Hey, Sasuke-kun!! Are you ready for our practical test today? I heard Asuma-sensei's gonna let us do a transfiguration charm!" But he wasn't interested in what she said. Instead, he asked who that blone in an orange jumpsuit is. Surprisingly, the red headed female snorted. "That's my cousin. I don't know how he did it, but somehow, the headmaster approved of him being a student here. That's just crazy, right?! Anyway, blah blah blah blah blah...."

Karin's next words fell deaf on the Uchiha's ears. His eyes remained on the blonde for a moment, before it averted to the pink-haired girl sitting next to him. Sakura Haruno. If Sasuke can remember it correctly, she's the bookworm from Gryffindor house.

He almost rolled his eyes at the scene. A nerd and an idiot? What a nice story!

The next day,

"Hey, Sakura-chan!"

The pinkette turned around. Naruto was running towards her, with a friendly grin on his face. "Hey, Naruto! What's up?" The blonde held her shoulders. "Thanks again for tutoring me yesterday! I was thinking if you can help me get a wand later.. Pleaaaaaasssseee???"

She laughed at his ridiculous expression and nodded her head. "Alright, alright." Ever since Naruto barged into their dormitory yesterday, Sakura felt the obligation to guide his ignorant ass around. He's clearly new to this and it's clear that he needed someone to teach him some few tricks.

Afterall, Sakura Haruno's the brightest witch in their batch. What's the use of having knowledge if you can't share it to others?

"Hn. Idiots."

Wtf?

Sakura and Naruto spun to their right, just in time to see Sasuke Uchiha's infamous poker face. He stared at Naruto's hands, which rested on her shoulders. After that, his piercing eyes met emerald green.

Sakura scowled. It's not like she hated his guts or something.. But Sasuke Uchiha is Sakura Haruno's LEAST favorite person around. He's an arrogant prick and that's all that there is to him.

"I appreciate the fine greeting, Uchiha. Though, I can't really recall the time you ever spoke to me." She said. Naruto was surprisingly silent. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

"Do I even have a reason to chat with you, Ms. Brightest Witch? As far as I know, you only have a decent conversation with books."

The pink haired female gritted her teeth. But just when she was about to snap a witty reply, Ino came running to Sasuke's side. A roll of parchment and textbook in hand.

"Sasuke-kun! Here's you homework!"

But when Ino noticed the pinkette's presence, she paled. Sakura gaped, then glared at her bestfriend. This is unbelievable! And of course, the two boys must've felt the tension.

"S-Sakura---"

"So, for three months.. THREE FUCKING MONTHS.. All this time, just when I thought I was doing your assignments,  turns out you suddenly managed to hide under a bitchy face just so you can impress him?! Do I even have some freakin' credit here, Ino?!"

"Sakura.. I-I sor---"

"You used me, idiot! Was that the reason you befriended me?! I should seriously hex you Yamanaka!"

Sasuke's jaw clenched. He held the parchment and textbook tightly in his hands. So, Ino used her to do his assignments? He doesn't know how to react to that. Sasuke Uchiha has never been in a situation like this.

Sakura then walked out. Naruto followed her shortly. Ino, who frowned, obviously guilty, tried to explain things to Sasuke. But in the end, he just turned on his heel and left her standing alone in that cold hallway. He threw the parchment in a trash can and fled to his first class.

"YOSH! I finally have a wand!! Hehehe.. I wonder if I'm a natural?"

Just when Naruto was about to flicker his wand at a random direction, Sakura stopped him by pulling his ear. "Don't be foolish! You still have to learn proper wand usage before you can even do so much as a levitation spell!"

The blonde rubbed his ear and pouted. "Eh?! Do we really need that crap?!"

"Do you want to get expelled for blowing up the whole school?"

Naruto thought for a minute. "Good point."

The two of then walked into the market place. Students were everywhere! Once a week, the headmistress would let them wander around Diagon Alley to buy some supplies. From afar, Naruto saw Kiba and Shino wresting a giant octopus-like man. Cool. Then, he saw that Hufflepuff girl, Hinata, staring at him. When their eyes met, she instantly blushed and looked away. Eh?

Naruto didn't realize that he was now walking alone. Apparently, Sakura went to a nearby bookstore or something. Then, a familiar voice spoke, "We haven't formally introduced each other."

When the blonde turned around, he saw the raven haired boy from this morning, leaning against a brick wall. He cautiously walked closer to him and frowned. "You're Sasuke Uchiha from Slytherin house."

"How do you know?"

Naruto shrugged. "I asked my roommates. I should, atleast, know the name of the bastard who pissed Sakura-chan."

Sasuke sighed.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm gonna be the best wizard in Hogwarts! Believe it!!" He beamed. The Uchiha teen scoffed. "Yeah. Keep dreaming."

"Hey!"

"Naruto!"

The two boys turned around, only to see Sakura Haruno approaching them. She glared at Sasuke. "Bastard."

"Look, I-I'm sorry."

And that made both Sakura and Naruto froze on the spot. Did the arrogant jerk just apologized?! What kind if sorcery is this?! He seriously gazed at her and said, "I didn't know Ino was doing that. Believe me, i-it's my fault. I'm sorry, Haruno."

And in that moment, Sakura felt her cheeks flushed in delight. Seriously? Gosh, she must me dreaming. But if she is, then she'll jinx anyone who will attempt to wake her up.

"I-I forgive you, Sasuke-kun."

Naruto grinned. Magic with a touch of romance?! Talk about cheesy, dattebayo!

Sasuke blushed. I guess I finally found what I'm looking for.

Sakura giggled. So, Sasuke Uchiha isn't that bad. I'm glad..

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Three names that strated their lives in different worlds. Each individually different from the other. But in the end, their bond will grow and shine brighter than any light a wand can conjure.

THE END

No part two. No story extension. Seriously.. Hahaha! I have too many at hand. Let's just leave this one-shot be. Thanks for reading! :D
