Makoto was far from impressed. Why? She was paired with Hermione, who was patronising her as she attempted the floating charm. Also she had a detention for electrocuting Malfoy, who was absolutely fine. As well as this she spotted a, 'totally dreamy hunkazoid' as Usagi had called him, but she mucked up.

Makoto had surveyed her surroundings thoroughly for an escape route. Ami was sitting in the corner of the room helping her friend Pavarti, so Makoto was paired with the girl who hurt one of her best friends. She had tried to catch Neville's eye, but Professor Flitwick was quick in pairing him with Minako, whom was equally as bad.

"It's in-sen-dee-oh!" Hermione set her piece of wood on fire.

"Incedio!" Rei accidently let her Martian power escape, almost resulting in an evacuation.

"Ugh!" Hermione rolled her eyes. Setsuna looked up from her roaring fire, a successful cast. She saw Hermione as an extremely insecure individual. But she liked the girl still. Why she didn't know, but she sensed that she would be a major part of the senshi's life.

On the way out a furious Makoto vented to Ron, who agreed.

"No wonder she has no friends, she's such a know it all!"

A pair a fawn like eyes full of glimmering tears passed by, and Hermione was unseen for the rest of the day. Makoto felt like kicking herself, she had been cruel, and had not thought about her friend. If she had forgiven Hermione...

LATER THAT DAY

"C-creepy!" Usagi looked up at Setsuna. She had her forest green hair piled on top of her head and wore a lace sleeved black dress.

"Were your eyes always so... red?" asked Makoto.

"Yes." Setsuna perched on the arm of the sofa, before being knocked off by a hyperactive Minako.

"Whaddya think?!" Minako twirled into the room in a pair of novelty cat ears.

"Cute!" Usagi squealed.

"He, hem! I think we'd best get a move on, dinner is in 10 minutes!" Ron strided into the room with Seamus ,a lanky Irish boy, both wearing a light up pumpkin badges.

The huddle of Gryffindors walked down to the main hall. Immediately .it was noticeable of the halls transformation. Lit pumpkins flickered and ghosts, dressed smartly, floated up and down the hall. The enchanted sky glowed with stars and planets, awestruck first years could only stare at. Fred and George had placed a hat on Miss Norris, which had evil written in marker pen on top of it.

Apparently Hermione was in the girls toilets crying and had been so all day. They felt unimaginable guilt and planned to find her after dinner, but were still furious at her hurtful words. Ami blamed herself for everything, with no wish for sympathy, just because she thought she had lost a friend forever.

"Look it's the moon!" Usagi bubbled to Rei, who before she could reply was interrupted by Ron.

"Try this Usagi!" He gestured at an fluorescent orange cake, which quite frankly looked like diabetes on a plate.

"It is heavenly!" Harry exclaimed.

When Ami was helping herself to a jacket potato, Professor Quirell burst in. He was pale and his turban was askew:

"T-T-TROLL IN THE BATHROOMS!" With that he fainted dead on the floor.

Chaos erupted.

"STUDENTS," Dumbledore's resonant voice yelled to the panicking pupils "Please follow your house prefects to you dormitories now! Staff come with me!"

As the hall became a frenzy of terrified pupils surged away from the hall Usagi pulled out her communicator.

"This is Sailor work, every bone in my body is tingling! It's a youma!"

"Hermione's in there, my garnet orb didn't for see this!"

With the speed of the gods the senshi run to the bathrooms

"Isn't Hermione in the bathrooms?" Harry turned against the crowd and ran to the bathrooms, followed by Ron.

They slipped into the Hufflepuff line, as they headed in a separate direction to avoid Percy's watchful eye.

The two groups of brave Gryffindors- whether blessed with powers or not- made their way to the girls toilets.
