Different Type Of Wizard

Upon the Hour

"Hey Harry, I'm leaving to go see Minato Sensei, will you be comming with me?" Kakashi asked while getting dressed to leave.

"Yeah, why not." Harry grumbled, also getting out of bed. He remembered Minato Sensei asking to see them the night of the Ball, he wondered if Kushina would still be here. He had wanted to see her again, she was so kind hearted and motherly.

"Is there something bothering you Harry, besides the Tournament? You've seemed upset lately." Kakashi asked determined.

"It's nothing, just mind your own business." Harry replied coldly.

"Your business is my business." Kakashi reasoned.

"Let's just go!" Harry snapped walking out the door, glaring at Kakashi. Kakashi decided go let the matter go for now, turning to follow him out.

The two walked in silence, Kakashi could see the glares Harry sent him out of the corner of his eye. He wondered what he had done to upset the Gryffindor now. Once they reached Minato Sensei's office, Kakashi turned the doorhande, not bothering to knock. He knew that both Minato and Kushina could sense him comming from a mile away.

"Ohiyo! Minato Sensei, Kushina-san." Kakashi greated.

"Good morning Kakashi!" Kushina said, entering into view. She wore a white dress with a green over-coat, her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. "Ah, Harry! I thought that was you. Come in and have a seat, I was just making breakfast." She said cheerfully, leading them to a table that was low to the ground. Where chairs were normally present, plush pillows were laid instead in the traditional Japanese style. Harry was shocked that Minato's office looked like the interior of a house, he had a medium sized living room with an adjoining kitchen. The fact that he had a kitchen surprised him alone, none of the other teachers had one installed. Everyone including staff ate meals in the Great Hall.

Kushina placed two steaming bowls of ramen in front of the boys, the vegetables were perfectly sized and the meat looked really tender. Harry had never had ramen before, but he had seen Kakashi eat it on certain occasions. However, he usually ate rice and other assorted veggies.

"Kushina, you do know that ramen isn't really a healthy meal for breakfast, or any meal for that matter." Kakashi said.

"Live a little, Kakashi. Besides how can ramen not be healthy? I eat it everyday and I'm just fine!" She reasoned while pushing Kakashi's bowl closer to him, encouraging him to eat. "Minato should be down in a minute, Dumbledore Sensei wanted to see him early this morning." She said while pouring herself a bowl.

Harry wrestled with his chopsticks, attempting to eat the foreign food. When he had accomplished putting some noodles in his mouth, his tastebuds melted. It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted, even compared to Mrs. Weasly's cooking. Kakashi also quickly slurped up his breakfast, enjoying every bite (dispite the high sodium and carbs). Harry watched in amazement as Kushina consumed eight bowls of ramen. When she had finished drinking the broth from her last one, Minato Sensei entered the room.

"Welcome back Minato!" She greeted sweetly, standing up to serve him a bowl. Minato sat across from Harry and Kakashi, glad that they were both present.

"So..." Minato started. "Have either of you been able to figure out the golden egg?" He asked.

"No." Kakashi replied upset. "I was planning on seeing Professor Moody later today to ask him about it." Kakashi said.

"Good, he would probably know something on the matter. Hopefully he will be willing to help you, considering the champions are to be responsible with figuring it out on their own." Minato said.
