Introduction
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura sat in the train car together on their way to Hogwarts. A bunch of Konoha ninjas had been invited to participate in the Triwizard Tournament this year, including their team! Naruto looked out the window at the British landscape. It looked totally different than what he was used to back home, but it was still beautiful.
“Do you think they’ll pick me for the tournament?” he asked, turning to look at his companions. They both looked up at him. Sasuke shrugged and looked back down at his hands. He was playing with a piece of string.
Sakura rolled her eyes. “I think they would pick someone more…” she pondered for a second as if trying to find the right word. “more talented,” she said finally, evidently giving up on not offending Naruto. Sasuke chuckled under his breath at her comment.
Naruto scoffed. “I’m plenty talented,” he said and turned to look back out the window. “I bet they’ll pick me, then we’ll see who’s laughing.”
“Actually,” Kakashi’s voice came through the train car door, which was sliding open. Kakashi entered the train, arms full of snacks, and continued. “The champions are chosen randomly from the names submitted to the goblet. So it actually has nothing to do with how talented you are.”
Naruto sighed. “Whatever,” he said. He didn’t look, but he could hear Kakashi rustling through the armload of snacks he brought into the cabin. Then something hit him on the side of the head. “Ow!” he yelled, turning to glare at Kakashi.
Kakashi didn’t look sorry at all, but he did hand the candy to Sasuke and Sakura instead of throwing it. “Have you guys tried these? British people have such fun snacks!”
