Harry Potter and the Ecomancer

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Harry Potter or the characters in the anime of Sailor Moon.

Summery: Harry starts his 5th year with many worries, but a mysterious exchange student and a new teacher are there to help him out…or are they. Harry and Makoto centered. There are no pairings…this is not a romance story. This is AU and takes place almost completely in the Harry Potter world. Makoto and Setsuna will be the main Sailor Moon characters used, but the others will make cameo appearances.

Prolog

Sirius Black ran out of the castle as fast as his legs would carry him. He had to get word to Lupin and the others in their group. He had been thinking about calling in a favor from someone, but he really didn't want to have to bring her into it. There was nothing now that could have prevented something like this happening. So as Sirius sat on Buckbeak's back, flying high above towns and villages, he pulled out a single piece of paper and a muggle pen.

Dear Makoto,

This is your Uncle Sirius writing to you. I know that in past letters you said that you would pay me back anyway you knew how for supporting you these last few years. I have to ask you now for that payment. I never wanted to have to bring you into this, but I knew at some point I would have to. I know your secret, the one about your secret identity. Do not ask me how I know, as I will not tell you. That is why I need your help. My Godson is in grave danger, and I need someone of his own age, that can stay at his school and help to protect him. Please send your reply with this owl. I will tell you all you need to know with your answer.

I hope to talk to you soon.

Love,

Uncle Sirius

It had been a strange start to the summer. Harry often thought that the Dursleys were a little off, but he had expected them to be furious with him. Mind you he didn't want to have to deal with them, after all that he had been though in the last few months at his school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You see Harry wasn't an ordinary 14-year-old boy, he was a wizard. Before the beginning of the last school term he was visited by Mr. Weasley and his sons, Fred, George, and his best friend Ron. Unfortunately, they decided to travel by Floo-Powder and didn't realize that Uncle Vernon had boarded up the fireplace. Add that to Fred and George's ton-tongue toffee that Dudley had picked up and eaten after the twins had dropped some and you have a very irritated Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. Yet, for some odd reason he was neither yelled at, nor spoken to at all. In the last few years the Dursleys had chosen to ignore him, but they didn't even have that disgusted look on their face as they were surrounded by so many "different" people. The Dursleys were Muggles...as Muggle as you could get. Muggles were non-magic folk.

Even now, in the comfort of his room, Harry felt strange about the whole thing. Not once was he yelled at about his owl, Hedwig making too much noise. Not once had he been told to keep all of his books or anything locked up. He wondered if Professor Dumbledore, the head master of the school, had anything to do with it. It was always what he wanted the house to be like, especially after the year he had. Winning the Triwizard Tournament by default, the rise of Lord Voldemort, the death of Cedric Diggory, the return of the Death Eaters, and the reality that he had lost one of his most powerful weapons against Voldemort, the fact that Voldemort could now touch him.

He sat on his bed rubbing the lightning bolt shaped scar and remembering the duel that he and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had had only a week ago. He remembered that Voldemort had said something about the house on Privet Drive being protected. He supposed that staying here would be the best right now, until something was settled with the Weasleys. He really didn't want to stay in the house, mainly because he would never find out anything that was going on. Oh he could Owl Ron, Hermione, or even Hagrid, but he knew that he would never get as much information as he would sitting in the house of Mr. Weasley. Dumbledore asked him to get the other Ministry of Magic staff together, or at least the ones that believed the fact that Voldemort had returned.

It was times like these when he wished he had a family. Sure he had Sirius, his Godfather, but considering he was out gathering help from wizards like Professor Lupin, who had been the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher two years ago at Hogwarts, he couldn't exactly keep in close contact with him. That was another thing that bothered him. He would be starting his fifth year of school in September, and in his four years at Hogwarts had he had never had the same teacher for more than a year in that class. Of course he knew that Professor Snape, the Potions Master wanted that job. With everything that had been happening with the school, he wondered if Snape would finally get the position.

Harry also wondered about the new safety precautions Dumbledore would take this year. He knew that Dumbledore despised the Dementors, but he also knew that there would be something or someone to guard the castle and its grounds.

Chapter 1

Things remained the same until his birthday in July. He had gotten a few owls here and there from various people asking if he was all right. Mrs. Weasley was writing almost every week checking up on him. Ron's new owl, Pigwidgeon also known as Pig, was having the time of his life flying back and forth between the houses delivering mail. Pig was around so often now that Hedwig at least tolerated him instead of trying to be louder than him.

It was a surprise to Harry when he opened his eyes the morning of his 15th birthday that he saw half a dozen owls trying to get in. Pushing his glasses in place he quickly opened his window and watched as each owl dropped a package on his bed. He had the habit now of keeping an extra bowl of water by the window for Pig and he watched as each owl took their fill and flew off again. Pig and Hedwig flew in next. Hedwig dropped a box on his bed and then landed on his shoulder, giving his face a nudge with her own before going into her cage and taking a nap. Pig on the other hand was flying circles around the room. Harry reached up high and grabbed the excited bird. It wasn't too hard to catch him. He had grown another few inches in the past few months. He shook his head thinking about having to get new robes for the coming school year. He untied the letter that was attached to Pig's leg and let the bird go. He flew around the room excited about delivering yet another letter correctly. He flew down to the water bowl and started splashing around in it.

Harry turned to the pile on his bed. He opened the package closest to him to find a book and a note, both from Hagrid.

Dear Harry,

Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to say Happy Birthday and let you know to expect a letter from Dumbledore. Enjoy the book, and read it Harry. It'll explain things about the new year.

Hagrid

Harry wasn't too surprised. He figured it was another book about Monsters, to help him in Hagrid's class, but it wasn't. It was a thin book titled "Myths and Fairy Tales You Never Knew Were Real." Harry kept looking it over and wondering how that would explain things at Hogwarts. He put the book and letter aside and went to the next one. This was a birthday cake from the Weasleys, he could tell only because he saw small claw prints on it that had to be from Pig. He smiled and pushed that aside. The next gift was from Hermione. It was his own copy of Hogwarts: A History. He laughed and opened the letter that came with it.

Dear Harry,

I figured you would get a good laugh out of my gift if nothing more. I would hope that you would read it, at least so you knew what sort of protection was already on the castle. I'll be staying with the Weasleys the last two weeks before the new term starts.

See you soon Harry, and take care.

Hermione

Harry smiled slightly. He had missed his friends since the end of the year. He hoped that one of these letters would be from Dumbledore saying he could go stay with the Weasleys. He went to the next package and found a bunch of candies and cakes care of Ron. The note with that one was short and to the point.

DAD SAYS YOU'RE COMING TO STAY!

Harry was really excited by that news. He tore open the letter that Pig had brought and found it to be from Dumbledore.

Dear Harry,

I hope this letter finds you well. You will notice that I am using Ron's owl as it has just sent me the response from the Weasleys. Safety precautions have been made to ensure that your stay at the Weasleys is as safe as possible. I would suggest not leaving without either Mr. or Mrs. Weasley with you though. Stay safe and see you in September.

Professor Dumbledore

Harry was beyond excited. He opened the last envelope to see the standard Hogwarts supply list and he skimmed it over before tossing it to his bed and picking up the last package, the one the Hedwig brought. He opened the note attached to the outside of the package first.

Dear Harry,

Hope you're well. Dumbledore told me you would be going to stay with Ron and his family soon. Stay safe, and if you need me, Hedwig knows where I am. Keep me informed if anything strange should happen, but I think you'll be ok until the new school year. Dumbledore has gotten some very powerful help for the school.

Anyway, since I've been traveling with Remus we've both picked out your gift this year. Didn't think I'd forget did you? Happy Birthday, Harry.

Sirius

Harry quickly opened up the package to find three things. The first was a book called "Auror for Dummies", the second another book titled "The Beginners Guide to Being an Animagus", and the third was a new watch. His old watch had been broken ever since he had dived into the lake during the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. This watch was strange though. It looked like an ordinary Muggle watch, but there was a small button on the side that just didn't look right. As he pushed it the watch gave a small hiss and the face changed to show different hands. It looked surprisingly like the face of the clock at the Weasleys' home that he enjoyed so much. There was a hand that had each of his friends' names on it, including himself. Most seemed to be pointing to home, while Lupin, Sirius, and Hermione said visiting. Harry pushed the button again expecting it to turn back into a normal watch, instead it seemed to turn into a miniature map like the map of Hogwarts, but it seemed to show a hundred-foot radius of where ever he was. He saw the steady dots that represented the Dursleys and saw a dot that was a name he couldn't recognize come up to the front door and walk away again. He figured this to be the mailman. Harry smiled and pushed the button again. The watch face was now back in place.

Harry smiled and picked up a piece of paper and a quill.

Dear Ron,

I just got the letter that I would be coming to stay. I look forward to seeing you all again. I have a feeling that the Dursleys aren't going to be acting their normal selves when you arrive, but the fireplace is still open in case you come that way. See you soon.

Harry

Harry tied the letter to Pig's leg and he flew excitedly back to the Weasley home. He sat down and took out another piece of paper.

Dear Sirius and Remus,

Thanks for the gifts. I'm really interested in learning about both Aurors and Animagus. Thank you also for my new watch. I hope you both are ok. About this powerful help at Hogwarts, Hagrid gave me a book about the truths of myths and fairy tales. Just don't tell me that Sleepy Beauty was a witch, because I'll never believe it. I will be leaving soon to go to the Weasleys and I'm sure Mrs. Weasley won't let me out of her site. I'll keep in touch if anything strange happens. Both of you stay safe.

Harry

Harry folded the letter up carefully and called Hedwig over. Hedwig nipped at his ear as he attached the letter. "You know where to go." He said quietly to Hedwig before the owl flew quickly out the window. Harry turned and grabbed a piece of cake before starting to pack his new books into his trunk. It had been a relief at the end of the school year to hear that the teachers had dropped all of the homework. Professor Snape didn't want to, but was forced into it by Dumbledore. Harry sat on his bed to await the arrival of Mr. Weasley who would be picking him up. While he sat he started reading the book Hagrid had given him.

Long ago there was a time when the Greek god's truly existed. Not much is known about these beings, but it is believed that the origin of Wizards and Witches are tied to the Gods from the past. Those that chose to worship the Gods were given certain powers. These powers have since been refined and most are contained in Hexes, Spells, Potions, and Charms that are either preformed physically, or verbally. By the end of the Gods reign only nine females still had the gift to control the Gods full power, these nine were the last daughters of some of the Gods themselves. Each represents a planet in which their father or mother ruled, except earth, whose power was shared by the daughter of Zeus. The 9th daughter and the strongest took her power from her mother, the moon Goddess, Serenity.

Harry skipped a few pages to come to separate chapters on different mythical and fairy tale characters: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Wicked Queen, and so on.

He couldn't believe what he was reading. Most of these characters were Squibs, a son or daughter of a Witch or Wizard, but not showing any magical power. Harry shook his head as he shoved the book in his trunk. He went downstairs into the kitchen to find the Dursleys sitting around the table eating. Harry's plate had been filled with food, but still his Uncle and Aunt acted as if he wasn't there. Even Dudley seemed to look right through him. He ate quickly, not wanting to be around them for an extended amount of time.

Later that day as Harry was upstairs reading his new Animagus book, he heard what could only be someone falling out of the fireplace. He tossed the book back in the trunk and walked slowly down stairs. Mr. Weasley, Ron, Fred, and George stood in the living room starring at the Dursleys.

"They have an ignorance spell on them." Mr. Weasley said looking them over. "And quite powerful one too."

"An ignorance spell?" Harry asked walking down the steps. Fred and George saluted him quickly and ran up to his room to grab his trunk.

"I suppose Dumbledore placed it on them so they wouldn't aggravate you while you were still here. Don't worry though, basically all it does is make them unable to see magic, including Wizards and Witches. It also make you unable to hear them speaking, but I don't think that's a bad thing with this lot." Mr. Weasley commented.

"But there was always food for me...more than usual as well." Harry said looking at his uncle.

"Probably also Dumbledore's doing." Mr. Weasley said. He opened up a small pouch and Harry and Ron both grabbed a pinch of powder. "Ron, you go first, then Harry. I'll make sure Fred and George bring your trunk."

Ron nodded and walked to the fireplace throwing the powder into the fire. "The Burrow." As he stepped into the flame he disappeared.

Harry truly hated traveling by Floo-powder, but until he was farther along in his studies he was stuck with this form of transportation. He took his glasses off and stuck them in his pocket then threw the powder into the flame and called out. "The Burrow." And he too was gone.

As Harry stepped from the fireplace he looked around to see the home he had always wanted. It was so warm, and full of love. Mrs. Weasley stood there looking over Harry with a critical eye.

"You're alright Harry? Nothings happened right?" She said walking over and giving him a huge hug.

"Mum, you're going to end up strangling him." Ron said with a laugh.

"You behave yourself young man. I swear you're turning out to be more and more like Fred and George every day. Off with you both. I have to finish dinner, so why don't you go and get settled in." Mrs. Weasley said ushering them out of the kitchen.

"Sorry about her, mate. She's been acting more like a mother hen then a mother lately." Ron said slowly walking up the stairs.

"That's ok. It's nice to be fussed over." Harry said following Ron up the uneven stairs.

"Hermione should be here in about a month. She's off traveling again with her parents. Japan this time if I remember correctly." Ron said as they came to his room.

"Where's Ginny, she's usually come to say hello about now?" Harry said wondering.

Ron smirked. "And why would you be wondering about my sister? Something you're not telling me?"

Harry's face went red. "It's nothing like that. Come on you know I consider her like a sister. It's just that she's usually around here when I'm here. And don't you start, or I'll start about you and Hermione."

Ron's face went about as red as his hair. "Fair deal. Actually Ginny is with Hermione. Her parents' won a trip for four to tour Asia, and asked if Ginny would like to go. They started out in Hong Kong, and they should end in Tokyo. A bit too much activity for a vacation if you ask me."

"I think it's brilliant. I've always wanted to travel." Harry said looking around at all the Quidditch posters.

Time went by quickly while in the Weasley household. Fred and George told Harry of their new creations. They had decided that instead of opening a joke shop, they just wanted a brand name. They would send jokes, tricks, and foods to the different shops already out there and after they were a success they would worry about having their own shop. Hermione and Ginny returned to the Burrow with gifts for everyone. They had found some of the hidden witch and wizard stands in the markets and thought that their friends and family would enjoy magic from a different culture.

All too soon it was time to take the trip to Diagon Alley. Ron and Harry were excited that they didn't have to have dress robes this year. So instead of George and Fred paying for that, they bought Ron a new set of school ones. Harry also got his new robes. The group walked into Flourish and Blotts and found the books all set up in stacks according to the school and year you were attending. Harry thought it was a brilliant way to do it. Now the store seemed more efficient and the workers weren't running back and forth trying to find all the books. They just had to run back and forth bringing out more packs.

The two weeks that Hermione joined Harry at the Weasleys' was a blast. Mr. Weasley would go and coach the four boys when they were practicing Quidditch, and Mrs. Weasley was telling stories about the old time witches and wizards of the past. The morning that everyone was to go to the train, Mr. Weasley had cars from the Ministry of Magic sent to pick them up. Harry had forgotten all about the fact that You-Know-Who was still out there. He was just happy to be with his friends.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked around the train for an empty spot, but couldn't find one. It reminded Harry too much of the year he met Professor Lupin. Never had there been so many people on the train.

"In here Harry. There's room for us here." Hermione said pulling him into an empty seat.

A tall woman with long black hair sat looking out of the window. Her hair had a strange green hue to it. She turned to the three that entered the door. "Hello, how are you today?" She asked with a smile. She looked youthful, but her eyes were old, very old.

"We're fine, thank you. Are you the new Dark Art's Professor?" Hermione asked.

The woman smiled but shook her head. "No I'm not. I'm afraid I'm not very good with wand magic. I've come on Dumbledore's request to teach the History of Magic class. It seems Professor Binns was accepted for a year in an all Ghost school and jumped at the chance. My name is Setsuna. It's nice to meet you three finally." She said cryptically.

"You know about us?" Ron asked curiously.

"I've been watching you three for a very long time, but all will be explained in due time." Setsuna said with a smile. Her smile slid into a frown as she spotted a girl waking towards them. She slowly and regally stood and opened the door, pulling the girl in. "Makoto, what are you doing here?"

The girl Makoto was very tall. Her bright brown hair was pulled into a high ponytail. She smiled at the woman in front of her. "I was told I would meet you on the train." Makoto said with a huge smile. "How have you been Setsuna?"

Setsuna's frown softened into a slight smile. "I have been well. How is everyone at home?"

Makoto laughed. "You know perfectly well how everyone is." She turned to the three teens that were strangely looking at her. "Oh I'm so sorry. I'm being very rude. My name is Makoto Kino. I'm a transfer student of sorts. I'm privately taught, but my teacher doesn't teach a few classes that I need to take for graduation, so I came to Hogwarts to take those classes. I'll be in my fifth year." She held out her hand and shook those of the teens in front of her.

Harry was looking over the Amazon girl. He was most fascinated with her eyes. Her eyes were a bright vibrant green, the exact shade as his own. Her hair seemed to be the exact shade that his mother's hair had been. He was going to ask her about her family when the lunch trolley pulled up.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" The woman asked kindly.

Makoto smiled and held up the huge box she was holding. "I have my lunch, but I'll take a few cakes and candies." She smiled and held out four gold coins. She turned to the others. "You're more then welcome to share. I always make too much." The others nodded and just bought a few cakes and such before they all settled down to eat.

"I hope you don't mind Japanese food." Makoto said opening the box to display tons of different fried foods and some sushi as well as different vegetables and noodles.

"I do have to say Mako-chan, that I have not had your cooking in a long time. This will be a treat." Setsuna said as Makoto handed her a plate.

"Are you from Japan?" Asked Hermione as she too took a plate and started to take some of the food.

"Yes, raised in Japan, though I was born in London. My parents' moved right after I was born." Makoto said handing Harry and Ron plates. "I have to say I was a bit worried at first about coming to Hogwarts. You see I'm not used to having to compete for points and such, but I guess it should be fun. I'm not very good with traditional classes, but I was kinda forced into coming." Makoto said as she started to eat.

Harry looked over the food and chose some that seemed like he could guess what it was. He wasn't really used to eating exotic food, and fried squid, sushi, and udon noodles were definitely exotic to him. He was amazed however at the taste. "You said you made this?" He asked taking a bite out of a piece or rice covered sushi.

Makoto nodded. "It's one of the only things I'm good at. I want to have my own restaurant one day so I can make people happy with my food."

"This is really wonderful Makoto. I just spent two month touring Asia and your food has to be the best that I've tasted." Hermione said smiling.

Makoto blushed. "It's nothing really. No matter where you go, home cooked meals usually taste better. It's only because home cooked meals are usually more specific to an area or person."

"If you like to cook so much, what are you going to do while you're at the school. I doubt the house elves will let you near the stoves." Ron said as he too shoved a piece of food in his mouth.

"That's why I can't wait for potions. I heard the professor was very strict, but I'm used to cooking and mixing ingredients so I don't think I'll have a problem." Makoto said thoughtfully.

"The only way you won't have a problem in Snape's class is if you happen to be sorted as a Slytherin." Ron said with a cross look on his face.

The door opened and a tall boy with platinum hair flanked by two other boys stood there glaring at the group.

"Why if I didn't know any better I would say you were making fun of Professor Snape?" The boy sneered.

"What are you doing here Malfoy?" Harry asked just as bitterly.

"Father insisted that I return to this Mudblood loving school. Wants me to keep an eye out for him." Draco said slyly.

"So is your father admitting that he's a Death Eater?" Hermione asked.

"Hardly, I'm on the look out for pure bloods. And that brings me to my next question. Just who are you?" He asked pointing to Makoto.

Makoto eyed the stranger and his friends. "My name is Makoto Kino."

"And are you a pure blood, or a Mudblood like Granger here?" He asked with a smirk.

Harry and Ron took their wands out.

Makoto put and hand up. "My dear little boy, I am neither. I am something far beyond you're comprehension." Makoto glared standing.

"Makoto, none of that. And you three, out of here or I'll have points taken from your house before the year even starts." Setsuna said giving the boys a small smile.

"This isn't over yet Potter." Draco spat as he and his two goons walked away.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked strangely at Makoto. Hermione chose to ask the obvious question. "If you're not pure blood, and you're not Muggle born, what are you?"

Makoto looked at Setsuna and she slowly shook here head. "That's not for you to know yet. I guess you'll find out tonight." Makoto said sitting near Setsuna.

Harry watched the two as they started talking what could only be Japanese.

"Makoto, why are you here?" Setsuna asked.

"My uncle asked me to come." Makoto said firmly. "He's a wizard so he knew that it was a possibility that I was a witch, but I'm guessing that Dumbledore probably told him who I really am. What are you doing here?"

"Dumbledore called for me. Harry is in a lot of trouble this year and need protection. I guess it was fortunate that your uncle is also his godfather. I wouldn't be allowed in the dormitory with him, but at least you have a shot of getting into Gryffindor to protect him a bit better." Setsuna said calmly.

"And what if I don't get into Gryffindor?" Makoto asked.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, just watch out for Draco Malfoy and his friends. Dumbledore told me that Harry saw the three of their parents when he was abducted at the end of the last school year. There's no telling what they can do." Setsuna said worried.

"Don't worry so much Sets. We've both fought worse things than Voldemort." Makoto said leaning back.

Setsuna sighed and thought to herself. 'This is not good. He was never supposed to meet her. Nothing will ever be the same, for either of them. Dumbledore better know what he's doing."

I hope you like it. I took it out of the Harry Potter section because it started going from mainly about Harry….to mainly about Harry and Makoto. Plus I wasn't getting the amount of reviews I needed to keep me motivated to write the story. I have a few more chapters already written…so for the next few days I may update pretty quickly.

Please review!
