Chapter 1: Mavis
Hello everyone! This is my first time writing a story so I’m nervous and excited to share my work! I know this type of story has been done before but I love a good crossover story. This is my take on what would happen if the Naruto and Wizarding World collided. Hope you guys are ready for a fun adventure!
In this story, the Wizarding World and the world of Naruto are in the same universe. Can’t think of a good way to bridge these two worlds together except being in the same world.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Naruto. I just own my characters.
/Hufflepuffs were known to be humble, down to earth, loving people. While they weren’t as eccentric as Gryffindors or knowledgeable as Ravenclaws, they had their spot in Hogwarts. They got the job done and tended to keep to themselves. You couldn’t find anything bad or wrong about the nicest house in Hogwarts.And yet there was Mavis.“WOOOHOOOO!”Slamming the door to the registration office open, Mavis danced her way through the Ministry of Magic waving her new documents.“I got my license! I got my license! I got my Magizoology license!” she sang.Wicket, her loyal house elf and companion bowed to the wizard that got his face slammed when Mavis threw the door open.“Apologies, sir”He quickly hurried after his mistress, hoping to stop her from causing any more trouble.“Mistress! You shouldn’t be running and dancing when there are people trying to walk by” he chided.Mavis waved her license in front of Wicket as she skipped.“How can I stay still when I can finally study magical beasts?!” she said.“After three long grueling years of internships and shadowing I can finally join the big wigs!”“Wicket is very excited for you and knows how hard you’ve worked for this. But everyone is staring at you” Wicket said.Mavis looked around to see witches and wizards look at her oddly. She shrugged and paid them no mind.“Let them look, Wicket. They’re staring at the world’s newest and brightest Magizoologist: Mavis Scamander!”Mavis Scamander, granddaughter of Newt Scamander had always dreamed of following in her grandfather’s footsteps. She was a Hufflepuff, she preferred animals over people and she had a desire to see what was out there in the world. The only difference between the two of them was that Newt was more quiet and kept to himself while Mavis was loud and…well she was just loud.She always grew up with her grandfather’s stories of his adventures and all the creatures he found and studied from his travels. He had seen so many amazing and fascinating animals. He even made a book that was used for their studies back at school!While she knew she wouldn’t be as amazing and ground breaking as Newt, she could still do things that he never got to do.Such as finding beasts that he never studied.Mavis laughed and picked Wicket up and spun him around.“Oh this is going to be amazing, Wicket! We’re going to travel the world and see so many creatures! I can’t wait to tell papa about where we’re going! I wonder if he’ll let me use his suitcase? Oh and we need to bring Dougal and Pudge with! And we should-“Wicker snapped his fingers and made Mavis freeze in place. Wiggling himself out of her grasp, he jumped to the ground and crossed his arms.“Mistress needs to calm down and think this through. Just because you got your license doesn’t mean you get to run off and do reckless things” he said.He snapped his fingers again and undid the freezing spell he placed on Mavis.The witch gave her elf friend a weak glare.“Who said I’m going to be reckless? I’m anything but reckless” she said.“Didn’t you try to crossbred two types of carnivorous plants in Herbology and destroyed garden house 2?” Wicket reminded her.Mavis made a face at that.“That just the one time! And we’ve all learned that crossbreeding plants is not the same as it is with animals”“Everyone knew that before the accident!” Wicket said.Mavis waved him off, clearly not bothered by that incident.“That’s all in the past, Wicket. Right now we need to focus on the present! If we’re going to start off our adventure right, then we need to start off with a bang! And I know just the creature we can start searching for”She pulled out a map that used to belong to Newt from when he did his travels. He had marked off areas he had visited and creatures he had seen. There were some areas he never got the chance to visit due to certain events that happened back when he was about to publish his book. Something that dealt with a wizard named Grindel-something; she didn’t really pay attention to that.What she did pay attention to was the creatures that he never got around to studying properly. He might have written about them in his book but he never got to see them up close and marvel at their beauty. And there was one particular creature that Mavis had been dying to study since she was a little girl.She pointed to a spot on the map that she had circled.“We’re going to start our adventure by finding this beauty”Wicket’s ears went back and his eyes went huge when he saw the creature.Phoenixes.“Merlin’s beard” he whimpered.Mavis laughed some more and picked Wicket up to pull him into a hug.“Pack your bags, Wicket! We’re going to go to the land of the rising sun! Our first stop is Japan!”Wicket whimpered at the prospect of traveling to one of the most mystical and mysterious countries in the world. Why couldn’t he be a normal house elf?/
A/N: We’re off on an adventure! Poor Wicket has no idea what he’s in for-or maybe he does since he’s Mavis’s elf. Hope you don’t mind this short chapter. Didn’t want to add a whole lot at the start of this story.
I’d really appreciate it if you tell me how this is so far. Every little review helps me out in the long run.
Until next time!

Chapter 2: Quiet Dinner
A/N: Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the kudos and liking my story! I know it was only one chapter but that just meant you guys are interested in this story and want to know what happens next!
Thought we could meet a few familiar faces before Mavis sets off on her journey. Since she’s a Scamander that means we were going to meet a certain wizard.
Just wanted to also explain that in this universe, the ninja world of Naruto is part of actual Japan. I know they have their own world universe in the series but since Harry Potter it set in the real world I thought it would make more sense. We’ll also be delving into some real world historical moments too so if you’re a history buff, we got something for you too.
Now let’s get on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter or Naruto. I just own my characters.
Enjoy!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Sunday dinners were always a time where families got together. Muggles always did them and wizards were no exception. Since Mavis just got her license, that meant she had to visit her grandparents to tell them the good news and share her plans of going to study Phoenixes.Tina looked at her granddaughter wearily the more Mavis talked about her plans to visit Japan. She was used to the excentric mindset the Scamander family tended to have. She was married to Newt and raised two sons and a granddaughter who were all the same. Despite being part of this family for so long she was still surprised what went on with her family’s heads.Mavis was no exception. Of course the minute she got her license, the first thing she wanted to do was go study one of the most elusive creatures on the planet. She really was a Scamander.“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to study creatures that are nearby so you can build up your experience with animals? Going on the other side of the world right off the bat seems rather risky” she said.Mavis rolled her eyes at her grandma’s worried nature. Despite being an Auror and dealing with dangerous wizards when she was younger, she acted like a worry wart.“Everyone knows all the creatures that we have around here, Nana. Why study something that I know like the back of my hand when I could be studying something that people hardly ever see with their own eyes?”Tina sighed and looked at her husband.“You’re just going to stay quiet about this?”Newt gave his wife a weak smile. While he wasn’t out studying animals anymore, that didn’t stop him from wanting to know more about all the mystical creatures from around the world. Once a Magizoologist, always a Magizoologist.“I had already traveled the world and was in the process of writing my book when I was her age so I really have no room to argue with her” he said.“Studying creatures from that region of the world isn’t very dangerous. Phoenixes are safer to study than dragons. The only issue I have is her not knowing the language”“That’s what translation charms are for papa” Mavis chimed.“I’ll be fine. I’m just going to go there for a few months so I can see what these mysterious birds are like. You always heard about them in stories from the past and I want to know if the legends live up to them. Plus I’ll have Wicket with me so it’s not like I’ll be going alone”Said house elf whimpered and lowered further in his seat at the thought of having to travel and making sure his mistress didn’t get killed.Tina and Newt looked at Wicket with pity. Despite being with Mavis since she was a child, they still felt bad for the elf because they knew what their granddaughter was like.Poor Wicket.“I don’t know dear. It just doesn’t seem like a good idea to travel right now. First there was that issue at Hogwarts with a secret chamber opening up and now there’s talks about a convict escaping Azkaban” Tina said.“That’s all here, Nana. If anything I’m safer in Japan than I am here if all these crazy things are happening” Mavis pointed out.“She has a point, dear” Newt laughed.Tina shot her husband a warning look. She looked back at Mavis worriedly. She had raised the girl since she was child after her parents died. She lost a son, she didn’t want anything happening to her granddaughter either. But she knew once Mavis had her mind set on something, she wasn’t going to back down until she went with her plan.“I don’t like this idea, but I can’t stop you. You’re 21 so you can make your own choices” she sighed.“All I ask is that you be very careful. The wizarding side of Japan is very…secretive. That region is shrouded in mystery for a reason”“Not to worry. I don’t go looking for trouble, just animals. You can’t get in trouble by studying animals” Mavis said.“I would say differently since that’s how your grandfather and I met” Tina said.She gave Newt a look to which the wizard just chuckled.Sunday dinners were always like this. It was a time to get together and catch up on their lives. Mavis had a feeling it would be a while until she would get to do these Sunday dinners when she traveled so she would enjoy this night to the fullest. And when she got back she would have so many stories to share with her grandparents.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////While she wasn’t going to travel just yet, Mavis thought it would be a good idea to put everything she needed together. Once her paperwork was approved for her to apparate outside of the country she would be booking it to her location.Items floated around her room as she waved her wand around, grabbing things and having them land in her suitcase. She thought she could get away with using her grandfather’s suitcase but the old wizard refused to part with the piece. That case went with on all his travels when he was younger and helped him get out of tight situations. Of course he wouldn’t want to hand over such a precious piece over to his granddaughter. So instead he had one made just for her. It would act the same way as his did for his travels but it was tweaked a bit to fit her needs.Pudge, her pet Niffler truffled through her stuff to see if he could find anything shinny to add to his collection. While Teddy, was prone to collecting gold, jewels and gems, Pudge on the other hand liked collecting random odd ball things. His favorite things tended to be thimbles, broaches and especially buttons. Everyone in the house had to charm their outfits that had buttons on them so they wouldn’t be ripped off because of the little bugger. Their were many, many times where they would go in their wardrobes to pull out an outfit, only to find that it was ripped because the little furball had snuck in and torn off all the buttons. He meant no harm but he caused them to buy more outfits than they wanted to.Mavis gently picked him up when he tried to pry off a button from her travel coat and tickled his belly.“Now, now, pudge. You wouldn’t want me to catch a cold because my coat didn’t keep me warm, would you?”Pudge blinked a few times up at her, then wiggled out of her hands and went back to trying to get the buttons off.“Apparently you do” she sighed.Wicket sat on her desk and kicked his feet back and forth as he watched his mistress pack for their travels.“Shouldn’t you wait until you get the approval to travel before you start packing?” he asked.“Maybe, but I need something to do while I’m waiting otherwise I’ll be bored. And if I pack now, then I know what I have and what I need to get” Mavis pointed out.Wicket just sighed. Why bother being reasonable when the person he was talking to was unreasonable?Mavis nodded her head in satisfaction when she saw that she had most of the stuff she would need for their trip.“That’s most of the stuff. I can get the rest in Diagon Alley. I wonder what kind of shops they have for wizards in Japan. Think they use quills and ink like we do or use those fancy paint brushes?”“We won’t know until we get there” Wicket said.“Might be a good idea to study up on their laws too before we travel. It’s bound to be very different from the laws we need to follow here”“That’ll be a good travel read” Mavis said.“If you’re apparating from here to there you won’t have time to read because you’ll be there in seconds!” Wicket pointed out.Why must he serve such a clueless mistress? Why couldn’t he have served a regular, cruel, pure-blooded wizard family? He was sure the house elves for those families didn’t get headaches from their owners crazy ideas.“You need to be careful and serious about this trip, Mistress Mavis. Your grandfather got in trouble for not following the wizarding laws in America and almost got arrested-and I’m not including the incident where he let loose a bunch of exotic beasts in New York and they had to wipe the whole city’s memory of what happened” he insisted.Mavis rolled her eyes at her elf.“I’m not stupid, Wicket. I know there’s more to this trip than just studying animals. If I looked at what I do with a serious lens, I would ruin the fun it comes from doing my job. If you love what you do, you don’t call it a job. That’s what I want to do with my life. Yeah, this is my line of work, but I’m going to enjoy to the best of my abilities because I might not get another chance at this later on in life”Wicket’s ears went down when he heard how serious his mistress was. He knew how much this job meant to Mavis. It had been her dream since she was a child. He just didn’t want them to be crushed by reality. She had been dealt with a rotten hand growing up and he didn’t want to see her spirit crumble.Mavis seemed to have perked up when she thought of something.“Oh yeah! I forgot I have something for you!” she said.She went back to her suitcase. Half of her body fell inside as she rummaged through her belongings to find what she was looking for.“Found it!”Climbing back out, she held the item in her hands and went over to her small companion.“Since we’re going to be traveling the world together, I thought it was only appropriate to get you something for our trip”She held up a small traveling jacket, shirt and pants. Wicket’s eyes went wide and sparkled when he saw the outfit.“Mistress has given Wicket clothes! Wicket is finally free!” he cried.Mavis glared at him and flicked him in the forehead.“Idiot! You’ve been freed ever since I had you play dress up when I was six. You only stick around because you said and I quote: ‘if Wicket left Mistress Mavis to her own devices, everywhere she went would go up in flames’. ““A noble sacrifice that Wicket doesn’t get enough credit for” Wicket said flatly.“Just take the outfit! Geez, you try to be nice to your best friend and they have to make a smart-ass comment about you” Mavis retorted.Wicket rolled his eyes and accepted the outfit. Truth be told, he was happy for the gift. House elves didn’t tend to get nice outfits due to their status. He might have served the Scamander family for most of his life. They treated him as part of the family, but he knew deep down he was still below them. Mavis always treated him like her equal and had him join her adventures because she viewed him as a friend and not a servant. She might have given him a headache with her antics but she had a good heart. That’s why he still served her even though he could have walked away.“Wicket will treasure this for the rest of his life” he said.“That’s the spirit!” Mavis said.“How many house elves get to say that they’ve traveled the world and saw what it offered? Not many. You’ll be the first elf who got to see a Phoenix with his own eyes!”Wicket shrugged. He hadn’t really thought about that. House elves liked to boast about what they did while serving their masters. It was a lot better than cleaning a house at least.“Wicket always wanted to see what a Tanuki looked like” he admitted.Well, once we study the Phoenix we’re gonna have to study all the other beasts that are there. Might as well since we’re down there, right?” Mavis joked.Now that Wicket was finally on board that meant this adventure was going to be a blast.Newt knocked on her door before he stepped inside. He smirked when he saw that his granddaughter was already packed for her trip. Typical Scamander mindset.“Getting ready I see” he joked.Mavis smirked as she shrugged.“Can’t travel empty handed. I need to be ready for what this country has in store”Newt sat at the edge of her bed.“I’m sure a lot has changed since I was last there. But I have a feeling there’s a lot that hasn’t changed. And that’s a small worry of mine” he said.Mavis frowned when she heard that. Why would her grandfather be worried about her trip now?Newt looked at her and motioned for her to sit next to him. The young witch did so and waited to hear what Newt had to say.Newt was known to be a quiet person. He really didn’t talk a lot unless it had something to do with the creatures he worked with. But when he did talk, you had better listen to every single word he said because it held importance later down the road.This was one of them.“I thought I should warn you about where you’re going for your studies” he said.“It’s true I really never got the chance to study Phoenixes. It wasn’t because they were elusive and hard to find, it was because the place the reside is elusive” he said.“That country has kept its walls up for centuries. Outsiders rarely stepped foot on its soil and when they did, they didn’t stay long. Japan has never been very keen to let the outside world in and vise versa. It may have in recent times but there are still parts of that country who wish to be hidden. The wizarding community is much worse. They have stayed hidden and don’t mingle with muggles. Not because they think of them as lower blood but because there are others with mystical powers who live among them as well, such a demons, spirits and gods. I wasn’t able to stay there because they didn’t want someone from the outside world to know about their history and beasts. That might have changed since when I last went there. Even so, you need to be very careful and respect their customs”Mavis looked at her grandfather. She understood why it might have been hard for him to study animals in Japan when he was younger. A lot of troubling things happened during that time, not to mention a certain War had broken out across the globe. It was no wonder why it was difficult for him the study the Phoenix during that time.“I’ll be careful, Papa” she said.“I want to finish what you couldn’t for your book but I’m not reckless”Wicket coughed suddenly at that statement. Mavis glared at the elf before turning back to Newt.“I won’t be around the locals anyway. I’ll mostly be in the mountains where these birds usually reside. You have nothing to worry about” she said.Newt gave his granddaughter a small smile. She certainly acted like a Scamander alright.“Just make sure you don’t reveal you’re a witch while you’re there” he warned.“The muggles and wizarding community are separated for a number of reasons. It’s not as serious as it is in America, but it won’t end well if the muggles find out about you. Keep a low profile, understood?”Mavis nodded.“I will, papa. No one will even know I’m there” she promised.Too bad she flunked Divination while she was in school. She would have prevented the mess she would get herself into if she knew what was going to happen when she started this trip.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A/N: Wonder who she’s going to run into first when she reaches Japan? Lol
Hope I kept Newt and Tina in character from the movies. We’ll be seeing more of them so don’t worry.
We’re slowly getting closer to seeing some of our favorite ninja characters. Just gotta have Mavis get to Japan first.
Please review and tell me what you think!
