"Haruka, don't blow bubbles in your chocolate milk."

The year was 2003. After a large amount of strange unnatural events, the sailor senshi were once again reborn after fighting a new evil. That morning everything was running smoothly, well, smoothly except for a bit of spilled chocolate milk.

"What are we doing today, Michiru?" Tomoe Hotaru, now 15, asked. She had long since stopped calling Michiru 'Michiru-mama' and Haruka 'Haruka-papa'. Setsuna, the oldest, still had her nickname.

"I don't know, maybe go to the beach. Did you bring in the paper, Haruka?" Michiru turned to the sandy haired female in a white blouse...and nothing else.

"Nope." Haruka mumbled and continued to eat her toast. Michiru rolled her eyes.

"Don't play with that silly putty at the table, Hotaru." She warned, and opened the door to get the paper. Utter confusion came next as the wings of 6 owls flew in the door and over to the table. As quickly as they had come, they left, leaving a stunned group of senshi and six letters on the table. Hotaru picked up one of the two in front of her.

"Miss Tomoe Hotaru
1878 ST,
Purple upstairs bedroom
Tokyo, Japan" She read the front of the envelope. The address was written in English, but Hotaru could read it, as it was required in school for them to be fluent in English. The second letter was addressed nearly the same, but left out the bit about her purple room. Hotaru opened the first letter she picked up, first, and began to read.

"HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
~~~ Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss Tomoe,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment.
We know you have recieved another letter from Shinan, the Japanese School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but we request your presence here, as you will not have as high opportunities offered at any other school.
Term begins on September 1st. We await your owl by no later than July 29th.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress"

"That's what mine says," Haruka said, and opened the second one, which was in Japanese. "This one says basically the same thing, except that we should go to their school instead of a out-of-country one. What do you think, Setsuna? You did know about this, right?"

"Yes, I did. And I would suggest Hogwarts, just because of it's high credibility. I'm sure that the other Senshi got letters as well."

"Why don't we call them, and make the decision together...this is kind of strange," Michiru said, picking up the phone. She quickly dialed each one (instead of using their communicators), and everyone was on their way in minutes.

***

"Ugh! This is too confusing! Since when do we get tracked down by magical schools?" Makoto grumbled,

"Well, actually, every time we're reborn we get these letters...I have just been...borrowing them because of all the action we had been getting." Setsuna explained with a pained look on her face. The inner senshi all made faces, and Usagi let her head fall to the table.

"What's the date today? You know I don't keep up with these things when we're on our short vacation." Usagi mumbled, "Hey! Does this Hogwarts place have full summer vaction??"

"Yes, Usagi. And the date today is August 26th. If you all want to go, we can send the owl out today and make a trip down to Diagon Alley in England right away." Setsuna explained. The inner senshi looked at each other, but the outers kept their eyes on Setsuna. They all seemed to shrug at the same time, and Rei muttered:

"Sure. We'll go."

"But Rei!" Usagi wailed, "I want to go to Hogwarts!" Rei just rolled her eyes and put her head on the table. "Oh, did you say that we would...go?"

***

After much debating about how to get to Diagon Alley, Setsuna decided that they should use the Sailor Teleport, which would be fastest. She would stop time so no one would be alarmed at their sudden appearance, and it would also give them time to change back into their normal clothing.

"Our first stop would have been Gringotts, the wizarding bank...that is if I hadn't known about this in advance." Setsuna said, smiling smugly to herself. Michiru and Setsuna rolled their eyes, and Chibiusa smiled in delight. "So, we're off to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions."

"Sestuna, have you been here before? You sound so well...aqquainted with this place." Hotaru said, looking up at the taller woman. Setsuna smiled down at her.

"Well, yes, I have, Hotaru. I've been here many times. Anyone with powers are naturally witches and wizards. I've known for hundreds of years that this is where we would all end up. I'm glad we're all together, this time, though."

A bell rung as they all walked into the shop. A woman dressed in mauve smiled and greeted them at the door.

"Why, isn't it my dear friend, Setsuna Meiou!" She said, mis-pronouncing Setsuna's last name horribly in her very British accent, "And who have you brought with you?"

"New Hogwarts recruits. These two," She pointed to Michiru and Haruka, "are 6th years, these 6 are 5th years and this little one down here is a 1st year. We need uniforms."

"Gladly, gladly! I'll get my staff to work on it right away! We only have one other customer here at the moment, so I'm sure it won't be a problem to get you out of here as soon as possible!" She bubbled, Hotaru thought she was much to happy for her own good, but enjoyed her excited persona. "You two first, dears...you are both so small!" She took Hotaru's wrist lightly and grabbed Chibiusa as well, Hotaru shot a pleading look Michiru's way, and let herself be dragged off to the back room by this...woman. The others took the liberty of sitting down in the waiting room, each looking at copies of 'Witch Weekly'.

After waiting for five minutes, the bell on the door rang once again, signalling another person's entrance. Two wizards entered, obviously father and son. They both had silvery blonde hair and steel gray eyes. The son was considerably nicer looking then his father, but both wore smirks that made them both look slightly unattractive. Madam Malkin ran out of the back room tutting to herself, and, seeing the pair clapsed her hands together and squealed. "Why Mr. Malfoy! Here to get young Draco outfitted? Look at him, growing up so fast!" The boy she had called Draco rolled his eyes and glanced at the 8 sitting girls who were all watching him with interest. Never had they seen a boy with such fair hair and skin! He gave them all a sarcastic look, and turned back to Madam Malkin. "I'll get Draco into the young men's rooms right away, Mr. Malfoy. It may be awhile, so you feel free to come back later!" Mr. Malfoy nodded said 'thank you' dryly and left, without even so much as glancing at the Japanese girls.

Ten minutes later, Madam Malkin was back with Hotaru and Chibiusa, both with packages in their arms and forced smiles on their faces. She took Rei, Usagi and Minako next. Almost twenty minutes later, they returned as well, and she pulled Michiru, Haruka and Makoto away. Every time she did this, Setsuna chuckled and continued to flip through her magazine, barely looking up at Madam Malkin. When everyone was done and paid for, they all walked out, heaving huge sighs of relief as they walked down the crowded street.

"Did you think that guy was cute?" Minako whispered to Rei, who nodded slightly.

"What guy?" Chibiusa asked them, looking up towards their faces.

"This boy came in while you and Hotaru were in the dressing room. He was very handsome." Rei explained airily. "What's next, Setsuna?"

"Next stop: Flourish and Blotts...to get your school books."

"I love going to stores for writing supplies!" Ami squealed, very-out-of-character-like. Haruka looked at her with a mild expression of interest.

It took them almost an hour and a half in Flourish and Blotts.

So much was Ami and Michiru's love for school supplies. When they finally did make it out, Setsuna looked at the list in her hand and wrinkled her nose as she looked at the next store. "We're off to the Apothecary, everyone. I don't want you to touch anything while you're in there...and if anyone wants to stay outside, I'll be happy to get their things for them."

Well, all of them made it in and out, in record time. Setsuna shoveled them off to Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C. Mr. Ollivander came out from behind his counter, looking quite annoyed when he saw the size of the group in front of him. "Isn't there any way we can...brake you young folk up so I don't have to deal with such a big crowd?"

"Of course, of course." Setsuna said, "Who wants an owl? I'll take a few of you over to Eeylops Owl Emporium while some of you get wands, then we'll switch." So it was agreed. Rei, Usagi, Minako, and Michiru went with Setsuna to the Owl Emporium, and the rest stayed at Ollivander's to get wands.

***

Mr. Ollivander went to work on Haruka first, thinking to get the most intimidating of the group done with first and foremost. Haruka had to try 12 wands before she found one that suited her. This, apparently, discouraged Mr. Ollivander greatly, and he was much more mellow with the others. Rei, Usagi, Minako, Michiru and Setsuna returned (with two owls) just as Hotaru, who was last, found her wand.

"Amazing," Commented Mr. Ollivander after Hotaru's wand had created purple sparks, "I've never seen a wand spew purple sparks before. You learn something new every day." Setsuna left Rei, Usagi, Minako and Michiru with Mr. Ollivander, and took Hotaru, Chibiusa, Haruka, Makoto and Ami down to the Owl Emporium.

***

Inside, Chibiusa squealed with delight at all the beautiful owls, but was silenced as Diana 'humph'ed loudly in her ear from her shoulder. Chibiusa sighed, and decided to help Hotaru search for an owl.

After several minutes of looking around, a beautiful gray owl flecked with white caught Hotaru's eye, and she decided that this was the right owl for her. Ami settled for a brown and black owl, while Makoto and Haruka decided not to get anything, commenting that animals were 'too high matinence'.

They all met outside Ollivanders, each with several bags, and decided to get a few rooms at the Leaky Cauldron. Setsuna decided on four rooms, meaning that two rooms would have three people in them, and two would have only two. Michiru and Haruka got the first room, Minako, Makoto and Ami got the next room, Setsuna, Hotaru and Chibiusa would take the third room, and Rei and Usagi (who, hopefully wouldn't kill each other), had the last room.

This would prove to be a very interesting year.
