In the other world

Obito spent the rest of the summer in suspense, which is not surprising. There were more people in black than they could have imagined. Even the guys took an invisibility cloak and a magic wand with them to the store. The newspapers also began to write about the appearance on the streets of rather mysterious and suspicious individuals, who seemed to be getting more and more every day. The townspeople were worried, and Uchiha began to fear more and more that one "beautiful" day the enemy would come to them. The weather was cloudy today too. The sky was covered with black clouds, from which raindrops continuously fell. Obito comes into the kitchen with two bags. He went to the store while the ash-haired man was still asleep, and has just returned. Soaked, crushed... however, something had changed in him - Kakashi noticed it right away. - Good morning! - Uchiha greeted him when he came down to the kitchen. - Good morning,- Hatake nodded, looking him up and down. - What's the matter with you? - Oh, I see. Something happened? Well, what do you mean, good? Suddenly he found out what? - No, I don't think so. Why did you ask? - It's simple. - I'm just tired of being afraid, that's all. Now I annoy myself when I remember how I used to tremble with fear… - I see. Well done. - What makes me sick of myself? - That he stopped being afraid. I just thought that fear doesn't guarantee that we'll be safe. And the fact that I'm afraid only causes more problems. Including you. So... are you going to eat? - Yeah. Smiling, Uchiha began to set the table. Two minutes later, he placed a mug of tea in front of Kakashi, and later a plate of food. - Enjoy your meal. - Thanks. After breakfast, Obito washed the dishes and sat down opposite Kakashi again. - Isn't the new school year coming soon? - the brunette began. - Well, yes? - We will also need to go to Diagon Alley to get our textbooks. - That's right… - When are we planning to leave? - As soon as they give you a day off,- Hatake shrugged. - We have to go to Hogwarts soon, it's time to finish work. We will buy the necessary books as soon as possible and we will need to pack our things. - You're right. We've earned enough. - So it's decided. After taking time off from work, the next day the guys went to Diagon Alley. Kakashi took the money they had earned over the summer with him to exchange it for whips, sickles and galleons —the money of wizards. After Gringotts, they went straight to Flourish and Blotts, the most famous bookstore in Diagon Alley. - Please, we need two sets of books for the seventh year. After getting what they wanted, they also went shopping, checking the list of necessary items. When everything was bought, it was time to return home. - It's strange, - said Uchiha, packing his books into a suitcase, - today we haven't met a single person who would be looking for me. - Maybe they were hiding. Or still is. And they're watching. - Probably,- he shrugged. - However, I'm not so scared anymore, and that's a plus. It's easier to remember a couple of necessary spells when you're sober. - Yeah. - Okay, let's go to sleep. - Come on. The boys lay down on the bed. Obito was still holding the invisibility cloak and the magic wand nearby. For safety.

So the long-awaited day has come. - Back to school, - smiled Uchiha, pulling the blanket off the bed. He was clearly full of strength and energy. The ash-haired man covered his face with his hand. He's obviously not awake yet. - I'm making breakfast, and you wake up. Obito went down to the kitchen and started cooking. Meanwhile, Kakashi crawled out of bed, and then trudged into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later he comes to the kitchen. Uchiha had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for Hatake to eat. - You eat, while I change my clothes. When everyone was packed, the guys took their suitcases and went to King's Cross Station. There were no adventures on the way, and they quietly boarded the train in an empty compartment. Schoolchildren kept walking by, and it was clear from their conversation that they were worried. And they're worried for a reason. Several fifth-year students were talking about an article in the Daily Prophet. Kakashi was able to discern that the article was about the very wizards who were looking for Uchiha. Obito was sitting opposite and pretended to be solving a very interesting crossword puzzle at the end of some magazine. He didn't want to listen to gossip and realize once again that he was being hunted. - I wonder what awaits us? Uchiha looked out from behind the newspaper. - What secrets will we learn this time. This year. - Oh, that's what you mean. We can ask the Secret Room to build a library for us and learn a couple of new spells that are not taught at Hogwarts. Maybe it will come in handy when we go further. The patronus, for example. They seem to teach him at school. - Hm. Maybe. - That's our goal, — the brunette smiled, hiding behind the newspaper again. When the tops of the towers appeared in the distance, Obito put down the newspaper and began to change into his school uniform. The train stopped. The freshmen were taken to the boats, and the rest went to school in carriages. - I've heard that invisible animals are harnessed to them,- Rin said, looking ahead of the carriage. - And how did they even find out about them if they are invisible? Guy asked, also looking ahead. - They are seen only by those who have seen death. - Have any of us seen death? Kakashi pursed his lips, but said nothing. Obito turned a questioning, but at the same time sympathetic look at him. - What? - Hatake got a little nervous. Uchiha shook his head, hoping to resolve this issue already in the castle, when no one would be near them. The carriage stopped and continued on foot. The guys got up from the benches and walked towards the castle. In the Great Hall, they had to split up again because of the faculties. After the distribution, the headmaster made an announcement that students should be careful not to go alone, especially when it came to going to Hogsmeade. - It is also worth excluding the appearance of schoolchildren in the corridors of the school at night without a good reason. I hope this is clear to everyone. In that case, bon appetit. All kinds of goodies appeared on the tables. The freshmen were very surprised and delighted, while for older classes it was already a common occurrence, but still incredible. After dinner, everyone was told to go to their living rooms, but Obito still caught Kakashi in the hallway. - Do you think it's because of them? - Maybe,- Hatake shrugged. - Will we meet tomorrow after school? Near the Room of Requirement? - Good. - Agreed, - smiled Uchiha. Hugging Kakashi, he went into his living room, replaying tomorrow's possible conversation in his head...
