**********Hogwarts Bound**********


The taxi sped through the busy streets of London. I watched silently as every turn and
every street brought me closer to my destination. London Kings Cross.

It wasn't my first time away from home. I had left the city of Crystal Tokyo many a time
before but I had never left the peaceful harmony that was Japan to be in a busy, noisy
place that of London. I played with my knee-length golden hair that was tied back into my
traditional French plaits that stopped at my shoulders and allowed the rest of my hair to
hang freely.

The Queen of Tokyo, Selenity, or rather Usagi, was seated beside me. She kept passing
nervous looks towards me. I knew it was because of my silent behaviour.

"Are you angry because we are sending to Hogwarts?" she asked quietly, so as the
taxi driver couldn't hear.

"No," I replied truthfully. "This'll be a new experience for me. Although I don't see
why I can't stay at home and learn magic there."

"But here you will be among children your own age. The Senshi, or even Chibi-Usa
aren't as good as people your own age. For one, you'll have more in common."

I sat and though about this. It was true, we'd have something in common. Magic.
But the common things would end there. I was a Senshi, Sailor Sun, and these
people were the ones I protected. Never the less, I would be starting in my fifth
year, people would be fifteen going on sixteen. Everyone would be so mature and
all the friends I'd make, if any, would want to come to my place during the holidays.

I wasn't ashamed of my 'extended family'. In fact I was very proud even if it was just
that bit different to everyone else's. My friends back in Tokyo used to come around
all the time ... until I found out it was just because they could met the Senshi or the
Queen or the new Silver Millennium.

The taxi slowed down to a holt beside Kings Cross. I stepped out into the crowds
of Londerers. I saw people pointing, not at me, at Usagi. She seemed oblivious to
the pointing as she hauled my trunk out of the boot of the taxi. The taxi man stood
beside his car looking worried as Usagi scrapped my trunk along the side of him
car.

"I think we go this way, Ki-chan," Usagi said as she started off into the building. I
turned to the taxi man and handed him a fifty pound note, "Keep the change."

I raced after Usagi. She wasn't hard to find. Her long white flowing dress, the silvery
crown on her head and her distinctive hair style did give her whereabouts away.

"You forgot to pay the taxi man ... again," I commented as I caught up with Usagi.
She smiled.

"You paid him, right?" She asked. I didn't reply. I instantly knew that Usagi had pulled
the stunted because she forgot her handbag. And it wasn't the first time either. Us
Senshi carry around scores of money just in case Usagi forgets her purse. Which,
or some odd reason, happened a lot.

"Do you have everything? Communicator, disguise pen, henshin stick, wand, clothes
and anything else you need?" Usagi asked as we started to cross the bridge. I nodded
and carried on walking, eyes down. The stares were starting to annoy me. I wished that
Usagi had taken off her crown and dress and dressed in the normal way but, as normal,
she had refused to.

I took hold of my trunk and pulled it away from Usagi's grip. She turned to face me
to protested but I gave her my 'no' look and stepped aside as an indication for
Usagi to leave. Usagi bent down and squeezed me hard, if I could've freed my arms
I would have returned the hug.

"I'll send you regular updates everyday day and I'll make sure Chibi-Usa knows how
to send via owl as well. We'll send photos every month so that you don't forget us..."
Usagi rambled on with her usually good-bye babble. I finally manage to free myself
from Usagi's grip. I smiled cheerfully.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine ... as soon as you point me in the direction of platform
9 and 3/4," I looked down at my ticket and frowned. "There's no such thing and 3/4!"

"Maybe there is in England. I'll have to say goodbye now because I need to go find a
taxi to get back to the airport. Look, there's a guardsman over there, he'll help. I'll
send you a letter tomorrow. See you Ki-chan!" Usagi hurried off in her too-high heels.
Suddenly she stopped, spun around and trundled back to me and smiled sweetly. I
shook my head in despair and handed over a fifty pound note.

"Who's the adult, you or me?" I asked. Usgai didn't reply. As Usagi left I picked up my
trunk and continued through the train station all the while looking for such a strange
platform number. As I reached platform 9 my hopes grew but then I past platform 10.
I frown. Surely I had missed the platform? So, I turned around and went back. Sure
enough there was no platform 9 and 3/4.

I stood on platform 9, ticket in one hand and trunk in the other, watching ordinary people
jump onto ordinary trains. A passing giant caught my eye. I hurried over to him
and he turned around to be a kind faced man with brown busy hair and beard. He was
unmistakeably wearing a mole skin coat. I looked up at the towering man and smiled
nervously (I was worried he might sit on me if he got angry).

"Um ... do you know were platform 9 and 3/4 is?" I asked. The giants face mouth transformed
into a broad grin.

"Sure I do!" he exclaimed, "Yer must be ter newen thats comin' this year!" He pushed me
forward so that I was facing a wall, between platform 9 and 10. I was beginning to see
why the platform would be called 9 and 3/4.

"Yer jus' have ter run towrads the wall really fast and yer'll end up the other side. Look,
watch these kids!" He shouted over to a red-headed family who were accompanied by
and black-headed boy and and a brown, bushy haired girl. "Harry, Ron, Hermione!"

The group came over towards us. I noticed that the black-haired boy was looking
me up and down suspiciously. As he moved his head, his fringe moved slightly and
I saw a lighting shaped scar on his forehead. I knew who this boy was. Harry Potter.
Harry's name didn't frighten me or make me think of him as a hero. It made me
worry, for his safety.

As a senshi, I was reborn again into this era. But a thousand years ago when
Queen Serenity ruled the old Silver Millennium I was Queen of the Solar Empire,
or the Sun Kingdom. The Moon and the Sun never got on with each other, each
thought of the other and a lower species and Earthling were thought of as a waste
of space. Of course, my old self would have had children. She had three, two girls
and a boy. The son had died at an early age and she, or rather I, never recovered.

I transported myself to another star away from all civilisation and stayed there
until I heard news about Beryl from a wondering messenger. I came back to
this galaxy to help fight Beryl off. But my powers were too strong, unleashing them
would cause the destruction of the Galaxy. Sailor Pluto was sent to kill me
before I could enter the Galaxy again.

After that my children would have grown up and gotten older. They too also
when to Hogwarts to learn about magic. My eldest child fell pregnant but her
'lover' didn't like what she was and left before the birth. She died during child
birth. The child was raised in an orphanage and went to Hogwarts also ... he
was extremely evil and full of hatred towards his muggle father. When he
came of age, he murdered him ... along with many other people ... including
Harry's parents.

I stared in disbelief as the victim of my own Grandchilds murder walked
towards me. But Harry just smiled and said, "Don't worry I get that look
a lot. Especially since last term."

"Last ... term?" I stumbled.

"Yeah. I expect Professor Dumbledore will explain everything to you," Harry moved
trolley into position and ran towards the wall. The bricks didn't moved but he disappeared
silently into them. A tall red-head came towards me now.

"I'm Ron, see you the other side," Ron said kindly. And just like Harry, he
disappeared too. The bushy haired girl stepped forward and introduced
herself as Hermione. Next came twins who introduced themselves as Fred and
George. Last of all was a shorter girl with long red hair.

"Hi I'm Grinny. I'm Ron, Fred and George's sister but I guess you can see that," Grinny
grinned and disappeared through the walls. The Giant, who still remained nameless,
pushed me forward to indicate my turn. So, I took a sprint towards a wall ... and
appeared the other side on a platform full of people either in uniform or wearing
ordinary clothes. I looked up to read the platform number. It read:

Platform 9 3/4
