Here is the newest chapter. The time between posting will probably be getting longer because it was requested for me to try and make the chapters longer and to do that I need to work on them more to get the transistion scenes and all of that running relatively smoothly.
I said before that there will be like a triangle between Harry Mina and Draco but I sort of changed my mind I think. Since Draco doesn't show up as much it is more that he likes her but she only thinks of him as a friends sort of thing. Also there wont be a hugea mount of scenes showing the romance between Ron and Ami. Since the P.O.V's are mainly from Harry and Mina it is sort of just what they get told and what they see that will make the romance evident. There wont actually be any scenes dedicated to them unless i feel like writing a deleted scene for lack of a better description but i will see how I feel later on.
Any ideas you have feel free to let me know I consider all the constructive information. Please review because I am not actually sure if people are liking this story or not. Even if it is just to say it was a good chapter, requests for certain things to happen, ideas, constructive criticism or even some other story ideas I love writing crossover stories and love reading them as long as they have Minako in them. Just please no flaming.
And sorry to anybody who really likes Usagi because chances are she will not be in the story very much. Just little conversations. As stated it will have plenty of Mina, some Ami and a bit of Setsuna in particular. For those that aren't at Hogwarts a couple of cameo appearances may happen. Also Mina is closest to Rei in my story because of their relationship in the manga, silver millenium (being 1st and 2nd in command) and PGSM. And Ami is closest to Mako because I think they compliment each other well.
Sorry for the long Authors Note hope you enjoy the chapter and reviews make me more motivated to write and update faster!
A barrage of students entered the great hall and sat themselves at their house table and waited for the sorting to begin. Not many of them knew that this year strange things were to be occurring.
When everything settled down the doors to the great hall opened and out walked Professor McGonagall followed by the first years. They followed her to the front of the hall and lined up all looking nervous. Professor McGonagall proceeded to place a three legged stool down and sat a hat on top of it, it was the sorting hat.
Everyone waited in silence until the hat began to sing.
"A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn.
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrew Slytherin, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hop, a dream,
The hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts began.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worth of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favourites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
'Twas Gryffindor who found the way.
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!"
The great hall rang with applause as the Sorting Hat finished. Professor McGonagall started to unroll a large scroll.
"When I call out your name you will put on the hat and sit on the stool."
She began reading out names and each child stepped shyly up to put on the sorting hat. It sat on their heads for about three seconds before it yelled out a house which would cause that house to erupt in applause.
After all the first years were sorted the students sat around ready for the feast but before they could start eating Professor Dumbledore stood up to address the students.
"This year there are two events that are occurring. The first is that we have two new students that will be joining us. They will be entering fourth year."
Whispers erupted through the halls and Dumbledore cleared his throat silencing the room.
"I am aware we have never before taken students that weren't first years but this year that is changing. We have two students from Japan, the first is a young woman who was offered a spot here when she was 11 but her parents had moved her back to Japan which is why she didn't attend this school. Instead she was offered a place at a magical school in Japan but she recently wanted to move back to England so her headmaster arranged a meeting and now here she is.
The second is also a young lady from the same school in Japan. She is extremely intelligent and wanted more of a challenge than her small school could give her so while her headmaster was talking to me she mentioned the name and we decided to accept her as well. I expect for you all to make the two girls welcome. I present to you Minako Aino and Ami Mizuno. "
Minako walked through the front doors confidently with her head held high. She smiled at all the students and giggled at some of the boys reactions and rolled her eyes at the girls jealous stares.
Ami was glad she was walking with Minako, she hated being the centre of attention and Minako automatically got attention whether she wanted it or not. Though she did not realise it some eyes were on her as well because of her subtle beauty.
The two bowed politely to the teachers sitting at the tables causing the teachers to smile at their manners.
McGonagall stepped forward "Now it is time for your sorting when I say your name please sit down on the chair and put the hat on. It will decide what house you belong in. Aino, Minako."
Minako sat down on the seat sitting the way she was taught in the Silver Millennium with her knees together, ankles crossed and hands resting in her lap. She placed the hat on her head.
The hat started to whisper in her ear. "It is nice to meet you princess or do you prefer Sailor Venus."
Minako's eyes widened as she whispered back to the hat. "Neither in these times I prefer Minako or Mina. How did you know who I was?"
"I can see inside your head young one. I know everything about you. Now what house should I put you in Mina?
You have many sides to your personality. In one way you are bright, bubbly and optimistic but in the other serious, all about duty. Your have much ambition and when the occasion calls for it you can be cunning. I also see your bravery and loyalty. You would do anything to protect the moon princess even giving up your life and love which is something that breaks you up inside. Above all else you long for love but yet you believe that you will never achieve that goal."
"Yes it is what we all must sacrifice for her. She is the only thing that matters. Not my wants or needs."
"Then why are you here, protecting someone that is not your princess?"
"By protecting Harry Potter I am protecting the princess. What better from of defence is there than a good offence. If we stop the threat before it becomes too strong my princess will not have to fight and will stay safe.
"Wise words but do you really mean that?"
Mina bit her tongue and whispered to the hat. "Not to be rude or anything but can you hurry up and put me in a house people are starting to stare."
The hat chuckled softly, "I can see you are not very patient. Very well let me think.
Though you have intelligence you are not smart enough for Ravenclaw, I will not put you in Hufflepuff you could not accomplish as many great things from there so it is to be between Slytherin and Gryffindor.
You could do great things in both those houses. With that said though, I think I have chosen. You are far too honest and good to be in Slytherin so my choice has to be."
Minako smiled as the hat called out "GRYFFINDOR!"
She hoped she would get into that house, she would be able to protect Harry best if she was in the same house as him and she knew how respected that house was. If she had ended up in Slytherin it would not be as easy.
She thanked the hat before making her way towards the Gryffindor table. She was warmly welcomed with loud cheers and lots of applause.
She was so warmly welcomed by the male population that she started to turn red from all the offers to sit down beside the males.
She was incredibly relieved to see Harry smile at her and indicate he had a spot for her next to him.
As she sat down she whispered "Hey, thanks for getting me a seat. Those boys over there were just a tad too friendly"
Harry laughed, "Well I am sure you are used to it. Welcome to Gryffindor."
Before Minako could answer Professor McGonagall spoke once again. "Mizuno, Ami."
Ami nervously sat down on the chair placing the hat on her head. She nervously played with the hem of her skirt as she waited for the hat to speak.
"I knew that Sailor Venus would not come alone, hello Sailor Mercury. I assume you would want me to call you Ami?"
"Yes please and please don't tell anyone who I am. I assume you knew because you can read everything in our minds which allows you to understand our pasts and our personalities to distinguish what houses we belong in?"
"That is correct; I can see they were not lying when they spoke about your intelligence. You could do well in Ravenclaw your intelligence would get you far there but I have a reluctance to place you there. As all Senshi do you have bravery and are willing to die for your cause. This makes me want to place you in Gryffindor. You could do great things in both houses."
"If I may say, I would prefer Gryffindor. You see I have been categorising each house trying to see which would be best for me. Like you I have established I would fit in best in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Though I know there would be more of a challenge intellectually for me to be in Ravenclaw I didn't actually come here to learn magic like the rest. I came here to do a duty and that is to protect Harry Potter.
Therefore Gryffindor would be the best to place me in because it will still provide some challenges as I am still learning about magic, it will allow me to watch over Harry better and it allows me and Minako to be in the same house enabling us to watch each other's backs and make it easier to keep our secret."
Ami waited for a few seconds before it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"
Ami smiled at Minako and made her way towards her, relief flooding her body. She had suspected that the hat might put her in Ravenclaw because she used her intellectual ability to choose what house she wanted which indicated she would belong better in Ravenclaw.
Ron smiled at Ami and pointed to a seat next to him. She nodded and sat down beside him ending up directly across from Minako.
Ron was happy to see food appear in front of him and started to pull different foods onto his plate. Before he began to eat he turned to Ami.
"I am really happy you ended up in this house. I wasn't so sure you seemed really smart like you belonged in Ravenclaw and the hat was taking such a long time to choose a house for you. It did for you to Mina"
Ami and Mina both nodded.
"Well for me it was tossing up between the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. I gave it my opinions stating that I wanted to be in the same house as Mina among other things and it chose Gryffindor. Which I am extremely happy about."
"Yup pretty much the same except it was choosing between all but Ravenclaw for me. He said I was intelligent but not smart enough. He then ruled out Hufflepuff and chose between Slytherin and Gryffindor but then he chose Gryffindor because he said I was too good and honest for Slytherin.
I am so glad I am in this house rather than Slytherin I look better in red and gold rather than green and silver. "
This made those around Mina chuckle slightly and Ami frown.
"I didn't think about that, I don't look that great in red or gold. Maybe I should have opted for Ravenclaw I look good in blue."
Minako stared at Ami in shock. "Ami, you are actually considering fashion for once?"
Ami giggled, "Well in a way yes but it is not like I can change my mind now nor does it matter too much as there isn't much colour on our uniforms."
Minako nodded in agreement. "I guess you are right but since I am in Gryffindor I get to wear my red ribbon. Though not as a bow anymore, I think I shall start wearing it as a headband it will look great!"
With that last comment Minako grinned and started to eat. Those around them started to stare at how much Minako was capable of eating and Ami just giggled softly as she filled her plate and began to eat slowly.
Nearly headless Nick the ghost of the Gryffindor house floated by and began talking to Harry and Ron. Ami studied him curiously but Mina didn't even notice him as she was too busy eating.
Nick was cheerful spreading how everyone almost didn't get dinner thanks to Peeves but luckily the house elves got it under control. That statement caused Hermione to stop eating; she believed that it was made by slave labour.
Minako rolled her eyes slightly at Hermione's antics, it was ridiculous to go on about things that much. Instead Mina ignored Hermione's ramblings and kept eating.
Ami got involved in the discussion with Hermione. The two clashed on their opinions. Ami believed that the house elves were happy with their arrangements, if not there would have been more conflict caused by them. Hermione disagreed stating they should get sick pay and paid for their normal working.
After all the food had been eaten and almost every student, except for Hermione was full; Dumbledore rose to his feet to again address all the students.
"Now that we are all fed and watered, I have a few more notices. Mr Filch the caretaker has asked me to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle has this year been extended to include Screaming yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees and Ever-Bashing Boomerangs. The full list comprises some four hundred and thirty-seven items. I believe, and can be viewed in Mr Filch's office, if anybody would like to check it out.
As ever I would like to remind you all that the Forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students as is the village of Hogsmeade to all those below third year.
I would also like to inform all of you that there is a new class that is being studied this year. As it is a new study we chose it to be taught only to fourth years to see if the subject would be popular enough to continue. The subject is called Magical Mythology, now don't confuse this subject with the history of magic.
Magical Mythology focuses on legends and myths that have been told overtime. I believe this year it will be taught about the Silver Millennium. I have hired a new teacher for this subject, please welcome Professor Meioh."
Setsuna stepped up and smiled politely to the students in the hall way. Many of the young men were thoroughly surprised by her looks. Her beautiful green hair was up in a neat bun and her red eyes seemed to glimmer against her tanned skin.
Harry leaned over to Mina, "She doesn't look old enough to teach. She is quite attractive."
Mina held back a giggle and muttered under her breath, "You have no idea."
Harry hearing her mumble turned to face her fully. "What did you say?"
Mina flushed slightly and Harry couldn't help but think it made her look adorable. "I just said yeah, I think it is her exotic looks."
Harry nodded and turned his attention back to Dumbledore.
"It is also my painful duty to inform you that the inter-house Quidditch Cup will not take place this year."
The hall erupted in confused yells but Dumbledore payed no attention. "This is due to an event that will be starting in October, and continuing throughout the school year, taking up much of the teachers' time and energy – but I have great pleasure in announcing that this year at Hogwarts – "
At that moment, there was a deafening rumble of thunder and the doors of the Great Hall banged open.
Minako jumped slightly gripping onto Harry's arm. Harry flushed bright red but luckily no one noticed as they were all too busy staring at the man in the doorway.
His face looked as though it had been carved out of weathered wood by someone who only had the vaguest idea of how faces should look. His skin was scarred, his mouth looked like a diagonal gash and a large chunk of his nose was missing. This was not the most frightening part of the man, it was the man's eyes that made him creepy.
One of them was small, dark and beady but the other was large, vivid electric blue. The blue eye was moving ceaselessly, without blinking and was rolling up and down from side to side.
The stranger walked up to Dumbledore. His wooden leg making small clunking sounds with each step. When he reached Dumbledore the two exchanged mumbled words and the creepy man sat down.
Dumbledore broke the silence left in the great hall. "This is the other new teacher we have this year. May I introduce our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Moody.
Now as I was saying, Hogwarts has the honour of hosting a very exciting event. It is an event that hasn't been held in over a century. It is my pleasure to inform you that the Triwizard Tournament will be taking place at Hogwarts this year.
The Triwizard Tournament was first established seven hundred years ago. It is a friendly competition between the three largest European schools of wizardry – Hogwarts Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. A champion was selected to represent each school and they compete in three magical tasks. The tournament hasn't been held in years due to the high death toll, though it has been decided that it is time for another attempt.
Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be arriving with their short listed contenders in October and the selection of the champions will take place at Halloween. The winner will get glory, bring pride to their school and receive a thousand Galleons of prize money.
I know many of you are eager to participate but we have agreed on placing an age restriction on contenders this year. Only students who are seventeen years or older will be allowed to compete.
When our guests arrive I expect you all to treat them with respect and support.
Now it is late and I know how important it is to you all to be alert for your classes. Bedtime! Chop chop!"
People began to exit the great hall and Ron and Harry turned towards the two Japanese beauties. "Shall we show you to the Gryffindor tower?" Ron asked staring intently and Ami making her blush slightly.
Minako giggled and grabbed Ami's hand. "As much as we would love to accompany you two, we have a quick meeting with Professor Dumbledore. He wanted to personally give us our schedules and I think inform of stuff to do with Hogwarts but we will see you tomorrow morning. Bye boys."
Minako winked at them and spun around dragging poor Ami with her. Ami quickly sent a smile at Ron and Harry before following the blonde.
The two boys watched the retreating figures. Harry replaying the wink she sent at him and admiring the way her golden hair shone as she flicked it over her shoulder. Ron on the other hand had noticed Mina's looks, how could he not but instead he couldn't get the shy smile of Ami's out of his head.
Harry let out a soft sigh as he turned to Ron. "They don't make girls like that here."
Ron nodded "I know mate but I doubt you will have a chance with Mina. All the males' eyes were on her. I doubt I even have a chance with Ami, she is too smart and pretty.
Harry sadly nodded in agreement, "I guess you are right but doesn't stop us from looking."
Ron laughed as they headed up to the Gryffindor tower with Fred and George.
The twins were talking endlessly about how they wanted to enter the Triwizard cup. Ron and Harry both wished that they were old enough to enter as well.
Ron and Harry walked up to their dormitory which was situated at the top of the tower with five four-poster beds with deep crimson hangings stood against the walls, each of their trunks at the foot of the beds.
As Ron stepped sleepily into his bed he mumbled to Harry. "I might go in for it you know, if Fred and George find out how to... the tournament... you never know do you?"
Harry nodded silently as he rolled over in his bed, a series of dazzling new pictures forming in his head. He had tricked the impartial judge into believing he was seventeen... he had become Hogwarts champion... he was standing in the grounds, his arms raised in triumph in front of the whole school...everyone was cheering and applauding loudly... he had just won the Triwizard Tournament... Mina's golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes and cheerful face clearly stood out in the blurred crowd. Her face glowing with admiration as she winked at him and blew him a kiss.
Harry grinned into his pillow, glad that Ron couldn't see what he could.
While the boys headed up to the Gryffindor Tower Minako and Ami went to Dumbledore's office where they meet Setsuna. Setsuna embraced the two younger senshi and said the password to enter Dumbledore's office.
The three walked in and warmly greeted Dumbledore.
"Please sit down ladies."
The three nodded and sat down in a comfortable chair in front of Dumbledore's desk.
"I just wanted to make sure your wands work and ask if you need anything?"
Setsuna smiled at Dumbledore. "My wand is working fine thankyou Dumbledore and I will only need to make sure I have some privacy. This is so I can escape to the time gates every now and then."
Dumbledore nodded and looked over to the two students. Minako thought for a second and smiled widely at Dumbledore. "My wand is absolutely perfect Sir. I would request that Ami and I could have a private place to train. Just so we don't become too reliant on our magic powers, I want us to practice our senshi powers if that is okay? Oh and we will quite obviously need a room to sleep in."
"That is no problem Miss Aino, there is a room in the castle called the Room Of Requirement. It is on the seventh floor across from the Tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to ballet. You need to walk passed it three times thinking of what you want the room for.
I have also given you two a room in the Gryffindor Tower. It is at the very top opposite to the boys dormitories. Usually you share the room with others but I made it so it will be just you two for your privacy.
Miss Mizuno is there anything you will need?"
"I would just require the library. I love learning about this world and have already finished all the books you provided for us to read."
"That will be no problem Miss Mizuno. I will let the librarian's know you are allowed any book you wish, even ones from the restricted section. If that is all I would just like to say welcome to Hogwarts and I am glad you both ended up in Gryffindor it will be easier for you to protect Harry that way. If there is anything else I can help you with feel free to come to my office. Professor Meioh will always know the password so just ask her. "
The three thanked Dumbledore and left his office.
"I am looking forward to the lesson tomorrow girls. Go and get some sleep and remember our communicators do not work here. My office is on the third floor. The password for you to get into Gryffindor common rooms is Balderdash. Goodnight Girls."
"Goodnight Sets." Both girls said as they headed towards Gryffindor Tower. When they arrived at the portrait of the Fat Lady, she looked at the girls.
"I do not recognise you girls and you are clearly not fourth years. Are you the two new students I have been hearing so much about?"
"Yes it is lovely to meet you. My name is Ami and this is Mina."
"Lovely to meet you girls, I am glad to see more polite Gryffindors. Do you have the password? I can't let you in without it girls."
Minako nodded, "Balderdash."
"That is correct, I will see you two young ladies again. Have a good sleep."
The two bowed politely as they made their ways up the winding staircase. As they went to enter their room their planetary symbols started to glow on their foreheads.
"Whoa, what was that about Ami? If anybody was with us that could have caused trouble."
Ami grasped the door knob and opened it. "I have no idea Minako."
Minako shrugged and followed Ami into the room and smiled at the surroundings. Their room was decorated differently to the others in Gryffindor Tower.
The room was white with dark mahogany four poster beds, wardrobe and two desks. Ami's bed was decorated with a light blue and silver hanging and bed covers. Minako's bed had orange and white hanging and bed covers.
The two also had a bathroom joined to the room, so they would be able to wash up after battles if necessary. It made Minako smile seeing the bathroom also had sided dedicated to each of them. Ami's being a beautiful light shade of blue and Mina's being a pale yellow and decorated with her cosmetics and hair supplies.
Sitting on Ami's desk was a letter.
Miss Aino and Mizuno,
I hope you like your room, no others have their own bathroom but I thought you would need it just in case, again for your privacy.
If the colours or decorations aren't to your liking feel free to find a spell to change the colours or designs.
You may have noticed I placed a few enchantments over the room only people with planetary powers are able to enter this room. If any else try to enter they will not be able to apart from your fellow senshi.
The glowing of your planetary symbol will only happen once. This is because the spell then recognises you from the on.
Your friends are not able to enter the room, the most they can do is knock on the door.
Enjoy your stay.
Professor A. Dumbledore.
After Ami read the letter, she explained to Minako that their planetary symbols appeared because that is the only way they are able to get into the room.
The two proceeded to change into their pyjamas. Minako's consisted of a short silk orange night gown and Ami's was a pair of light blue pants with white spots over it and a tight white t-shirt with beauty and brains written on the chest in blue cursive. The pyjamas were a gift from Minako who thought that Ami had both beauty and brains so it suited her.
The two slipped in between their blankets and Ami muttered "I think I am going to like it here."
Minako yawned and nodded in agreement. "Me too."
