The monday after the Death-Eaters' meeting, Harry and Hermoine were seating next to each other, studying for their first class-of-the-day, when two rather-pushy Gryffendors pushed their ways into their calm study-session.

"And, just WHAT are you two doing, togather?" Ginerva Weasley hissed rather loudly.

"Studying." Harry and Hermoine said in perfect-hermony.

"And, why are you here?" Ginerva Waesley growled.

"Studying at the table 'assigned' to us.. Miss Weasley." Harry said, in a voice as bored as he actually was.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Ginny corected herself in a prissy manner. "I mean.. what are you doing here with HER?!" She gestured, rudely, to Hermoine.

"And? What are you doing with HIM?" Ronald Granger demanded of Hermoine rather hotly, while pointed to Harry!

"He's my boyfriend!" Hermoine smiled to Ron.

"She's my girlfriend!" Harry politely smiled to Ginnie.

"No you're NOT!" The Weasels screamed. "YOU BELONG TO ME!"

"Oh?" Harry asked, a bored expression on his face.

"And who gave us to you?" Hermoine asked, wearing the same mask of boredom.

"DUMBLEDOR!" The sister and brother screamed.

And, from the High-Table, Dumbledor smiled. He was still the one in charge!

"And, what gave Dumbledor permission to use and barter us like cattle?" Harry asked the Weasleys.

Dumbledor suddenly last that smile, as he felt the stares of disapproval from most of the rest of the High-Table!

And Trelawney, thw usual chatterbox at the High-Table, was oddly silent.

"The HEADMASTER does not need anyone's approval!" The Weasleys stated defiently. Then, they leaned manacingly-closer to Harry and Hermoine, and over their morning-drinks.
"He's DUMBLEDOR!"

Two vials were poured into two goblets.

And, Harry and Hermoine whispered a simple counter-spell to their goblets:

"Nullificare."

And? The contents of the vials, and their effects, disaapeared from the goblets.

And the Amelias replaced their wands safely in their scabbards.

"Retribution will not come for you, Gin-chan ano Ron-kun..", Amelia Wil Tesla said darkly.

"Not yet." Amelia Katherina Seraphim whispered.

"To your health!" Harry and Hermoine toasted the Weasleys.

"And.. your sanity..", Hermoine purred.

"While it lasts!", Harry smirked.

Then, they drained the goblets dry!

Smirks threatened the faces of Ron and Ginny as they waited for the first sign of the vial's contents to work. And? When the effects never apeared, the brother and sister whispered a "damn", and headed back to their dorm-rooms.

"They will only try again, Amelia-Aneue!" Amelia Wil Tesla said. "What was in vials?"

"From the words they used when speaking to Harry-Kun ano Hermi-chan?" Amelia Katherina Seraphim answered, "What Prewitt-kaasan was known for making? Love-potion, probably?"

"Love-Potion?" Wil Tesla hissed. "Is that not considered Dark-Magic?"

"Falls in Grey-Area, Imouto!" Ami Kat moped. "Considered 'dark', by most? Fall through political-crack, demo! No one wishes to rule against it! Except for Hardabottom-Sama."

"Black-Market thrives!" Wil Tesla spit out. "What do we do, next time? Baka will use double dosage?"

"Ara..", Amelia Katherina Seraphim developed the Slytherin-smile her parents were famous for having. "Accidents can happen with potions? Too much used? Not enough used?
Potion misplaced?"

Amelia Wil Tesla gasped, and then giggled, as she - somehow - began to picture her Aneue's brand of justice!

Amelia was enjoying working with her Aneue!

Throughout that day's classes, the Amelias studied and performed with their usual competence, seemingly ingoring the strangely-volcanic Ginerva Wasley. "Seemingly."

However, evey now and then, a quick, strange - for a Gryfendor - smile would appear on Miss Snape-Mizuno's face! Then, just as quickly, it would vanish!

"What is up with Miss 'Mona-Lisa'?" Draco Malfoy asked.

At lunch, when seating-practices were less-stringently enforced, Ami-Kat reported the morning's news to her Usagi:

"So!" Tsukino Usagi noted, trying not to build up steam, "Ronal-Baka ano Ginny-Baka try to drug Harry ano Hermoine?"

"Hai! Tried, did not succeed." Ami said. "Think me ano Seyruun-hime hear Harry ano Hermoine whisper counter-curse. Hai!"

"Drug.." Usagi pondered, worried about the boy who'd asked for Her protection. "What kind of drug?"

"Love-Potion, I think?" Ami answered her friend and Owner. "From way baka talk to friends? Ex-friends?"

"Love-Potion!" Usagi hissed, then sighed. "Home-made, I guess?"

"Probably 'Prewitt-Special'!" Ami answered. "Not one-hundred per cent sure, demo! Need sample."

"Need to send Rei ano Minako after Weasels!" Usagi said, getting madder by the second.

"Usagi-Hime?!" Lina Inverse came up to the odangoed-witchling and bowed. "Amelia-chan just let me know that happened with Weasel-baka this morning! Hai. Wondered why Baka was acting strange in classes! What do we do?"

"WE will do nothing!" Ami stated. "Me ano Imouto have plan."

"Are you sure, Miss Snape?" Draco asked. "My cousins aren't all that intelligent, but they are tenacious! They WILL try, again! Harry let me and Crabbe and Goyle know what hapened! To preserve the honor of the Family Malfoy. And? With his mother supplying the Love-Potions? And, the Headmaster cvering for his favorite supporters? My idiot-cousins WILL try, again."

"That is what I plan on baka doing, Draco-kun!" Ami grinned. "Double the dosage, dano! Mom and dad explained to me how love-potions are made and work ever since mother helped clear Harry-kun of last of love-potion. They will use potion, hai! On wrong targets, demo! Plan will not kill baka! Will make them wish they were dead demo!"

"Goshenpainaku, friend-Doraco!" Usagi spoke. "If Weasels get to Harry-kun ano Hermi-chan? Nurses will have patients and antidote! Hai. Mizuno-Snape-Sensei have zero-tolerance for love-potions! Think - people - who depend on potions have no love in hearts to start with!"

"Some - people," Draco grimaced, "have a screwed-up idea of love!"

"Never been loved? Never can love!" Ami observed.

The rest of that day, in and outside of the Great-Hall, Harry and Hermoine were watched-over! And, Ronald and Ginerva Weasley were guarded against.

In Potions' that day, Severus Snape was on watch for anything "extracurricular" that Ronald Weasley and Ginny Weasley might be brewing-up! And? Was in constant-communication with his wife and daughter.

Meanwhile, during lunch, Madam Hooch was instructing two special-students in the art of flying:

"Are you sure about this, Hooch-Sama?" Naru asked the instructor. "Me and Umino just learned we were magical!"

"Hai!" Umino chirped in agreement with the redhead. "We do not even have proper tools or clothing?"

"Oh, now, don't go grounding yourselves!" Hooch chuckled. "At least? Not before you've taken-off! You can learn to fly, even in your muggle-clothes! As for equipment? I've seen young-witches and wizards flying without even a wand in sight! Why, you've already got all the equipment you need, here," The instructor touched her head, "and here!" She then pointed to her heart.

"As for just learning you're magical?" Hooch laughed heartily. "I should say so! You, Hagrid-chan, have survived a wolfpack!
And? You, Gurio-kun? You survived a coven of vampires! Unharmed! I don't know of many witches and wizards who can say that!
And? Before that? The Sailorsenshi have told me, since you've been here - and - even before then - of how you survived their enemies. Even with knowing the craft? You two have magic in you. Now! Let's see you fly!"

Naru and Gurio bowed to Madam Hooch and went to get a broom each. Naru went and bowed respectfully to the wounded broom she had sensed earlier:

"May I use you, o spirit?" She asked as she bowed and prayed. "I will try my best not to injure you, further!"

Naru then took the injured-broomstick in both hands, layed the broom gently on the ground,and wrapped the weakened-area in a towel!
Then, she rubed and massauged the injured-section.

"That is broom Aino-chan flew into ground?" Umino asked Naru.

"She is!" Naru answered. "Is not angry with Mina-chan! Understands need to get away from Doragon-Sama! Still afraid to fly with load. Why I search for her. Hai! Needs rehabilitation."

"Handled my broomstick, hai!" Umino smiled. "Seemed gentle enough. Very calm!"

"Good!" Naru said to her companion. "let broom get used to your weight, hai."

"You are knowedgeable about the care of brooms, young Naru!" Hooch smiled. "Are you sure you're never rode one, before?"

"Iyaa," Naru smiled, "not on my own. Am empathic, demo!"

"Well?" Hooch smiled at Naru. "You are already above several first-years, And? a few second-years! Many students, even pure-bloods,
hae yet to realize a broom is an impathic-spirit you have to commune with. So, now!" She then addressed Naru and Umino, "Stretch out your dominant-hand, and concentrate on your broom!"

Soon, Naru and Umino and their brooms were cruising around the quidditch-field and playing tag, and Naru and Umino were laughing!

"Oh! Next class is coming!" Umino asked, "Hooch-Sama? How do we land?"

"Oh! And, that's easy enough, Master Umino!" Hooch smiled and chuckled. "Just picture you and your broom landing, and tell your broom to land! You, also, Miss Naru!"

A whispered request brought Umino down safely and quietly, but, Naru's broom left her sitting in the air.

"Miss Naru?" Hooch asked, "Why are you still in the sky? What is wrong with your broom?"

"I.. do not know.. Madam Hooch?" Naru replied. "I requested that we land, and it.. she.. requested that I stand up on her? What should I do?"

"Does the broom think it can bear your weight?" The instructor replied. "In a small area?"

"Hai." Naru chirped. "I asked if my standing up would break it? She said my weight would not hurt her!"

"Well?" Hooch replied. "Such acrobatics are not part of a beginner's lesson-plan. It's more about keeping balance and concentration. But?
In this case, it's up to the broom! If it think you can do it? Do it!"

"Hai!" Naru answered as she took off her shoes and hosiery, and stood up, balancing herself on the handle.

And the broom started elevating Naru ntil she could see just above the trees.

"Good view!" Naru giggled. "Feel like spy, again! Slowly, broom! Let me spy through tree-tops. Hai."

As Naru spied Hogwarts from the quidditch-field, Umino joined her, standing on his room:

"Hai! View is great!" Umino almost shouted. "Broom thinks I should be in the sky with Kyongshi! Hihihi!"

After surfing the tree-tops, Umino and Naru landed gracefully on the ground to awed and cheering students, and picked up their brooms and walked graceously to their instructor.

"Arigatou for instruction, Hooch-Sama!" Umino bowed deeply to the lady.

"Hai! Felt free!" Naru clapped. "Like Kazi, like wind! In thanks, we bring back brooms, unharmed!"

"You keep the brooms, children!" Hooch smiled. "Especially, since you both knew how to take care of them! And, I still say you were taught how to ride, prperly! If, not in this life? Then, certainly, in a past-life! Just be careful with them? They are said to be ancient brooms,
some say over a thousand years old. They'll make it easier to get around Hogwarts..and, through the forests!"

"A thousand.. years..?" Umino gasped.

"Old?" Naru meeped, then the giggled. "No WONDER I communicated with you! URICA!"

"ALFERIC!" Umino laughed. "You are here, waiting for us!"

"We have to tell Usagi-Hime!" The two friends got back on their brooms and flew to Slytherin Tower!

"Alright, tell me, again!" Naru, the chambermaid, tried to hold onto her temper. "What did leach-monsters do?"

"Naru-chan?" Usagi sighed "Do not compare Ginnie no Ronal Weasel to leaches onegai?"

"Hai!" Ami snapped out. "Leaches have uses!" Ami then kowtowed to Usagi. "Gomennisai! Did not mean to speak out-of-turn, my Owner! I will humbly remember my place!"

"Your place is with me, Aishiteru!" Usagi lifted up Amelia Katherina Seraphim's face in her palms and kissed it. "Remember that."

"Did not call 'Prewitt' leaches, Ami-Kat," Naru growled, "called them LEACH-MONSTERS! Big difference! Where did leach-monsters get love-potion from dano?"

"Mother-Monster!" Ami huffed out in exhaustion.

"And, who will be guarding Harry ano Hermi-chan, tonight?" Umino asked.

"Makoto guards joji!" Usagi answered.

"Then? It will be my turn.. at breakfast!" Ami grinned and bowed. "Me.. ano Amelia Wil Tesla."

And, Naru and Umino shivered.

And, Usagi grinned.

The next morning at breakfast, the bait was sitting close to each other as the trap was being set:

"Harry, my Prince?" Hermoine whispered, "Hold me? Please? I'm torn? And, I'm tired! I.. despise.. what Ron and Ginnie have done? But? But?
They were our FRIENDS, dammit!"

"I know, Hermoine! I know!" Harry held a trembling Hermoine Granger tightly against him.

Hermoine then saw the Weasleys, and tried to mold herself to her Prince Harry:

"Oh, gods, Harry! I don't want to leave you! I just cant!"

'Hermi-chan is scared to death', Hino Rei saw inside her fellow-Gryffendor.

'Hermi should not be Gryffendor', Aino Minako simmered, 'Harry should not be Gryffendor.'

"Will not be in Gryffendor for long!' Lina's voice floated into the Senshis' minds. 'Gryffendor not be in Gryffendor for long.'

Soon, the smirking faces of Ronald and Ginerva hovered close to Harry's And Hermione's Goblets, and two vials each of potion were dancing as they mixed in with the morning's juice. Then? The Weasleys removed themselves to their original seats.

And, slowly and surely, Amelia Katherina Seraphim and Amelia Wil Tesla snaked out their wands:

"Harry-Kun.. to Ronal-kun." Amelia Katherina Seraphim softly sang, her birdcall becoming a siren's snare. "King to King's Bishop."

"Hermi-chan.. to Ginnie-chan." Amelia Wil Tesla followed suit. "Queen.. to Queen's Bishop."

The Amelias then silently returned to their seats.

Now? All the players waited.

Waited.. for the infamous Weasley-hunger to hit!

A few eggs and some bacon and sausage later, and the juice went down..

And, Weasel Ron and Weasel Ginnie were under te influence.. of too much of Mama-Prewitt's love-potion!

In a few minutes, robes and more were being torn off as Ron was trying to kill himself humping a more-than-complient Ginerva - atop the Gryffendor-table! Moans and squeals of pleasure could be heard from the Happy Couple, as Harry and Hermoine stared in disbelief.

"That.. could have been us?" Hermoine meeped in helplessness as she plastered herself to Harry for protection. "Me.. and Ron?"

"That would have been us!" Harry held tightly onto a quivering Hermoine. His voice held more than a little bit of revulsion. "We would have been helpless to stop ourselves! All because of two former-'friends'!"

The Great-Hall was filled with a combination of derisive laughter, curses, wretches, and cat-calls! And? At the High-Table, looks of disgust came from everyone except Dumblebor, who was nervously looking for a place to escape to!

Already, reporters were taking pictures and notes for the Prophet and the Quibbler.

"Could have been Harry and Hermi-chan!" Saeko whispered to her husband. "Friends of musume!"

"Slytherins do not let friends get used that way.." Severus growled, then shot a glance to Dumbledor. "Not with.. impunity. My dearest Saeko?
Help Poppy watch over Lord Potter and Lady Granger? I am, quite sure, they are suffering from shock as of now!"

"Hai, Koibito!" Saeko replied. "It shall be as you ask!"

"Albus Dumbledor, you old Fool..", Severus grinned and chuckled, "Howsoever will you dig yourself out of this grave?"

'I'm so sorry, Mollie, my friend,' Dumbledor thought, 'but? I see no way of explaining this to the Wizengamot! You will have to face Abkazan.'

At that moment, Neville Longbottom was checking on Harry and Hermoine:

"Harry, man! How are you and Hermoine? What in Hades did the Weasleys try to do to you?"

"Ambush us with love-potions, Neville." Harry answered, with cold contempt in his voice for the brother and sister still enjoying themselves.

"It seems to have backfired on them?" Neville commentedas two nurses moved in to check on Herry and Hermoine. "Didn't they know Dumbledor was watching? Wouldn't he have to report it to the Aurors?"

"Dumbledor won't do anything!" Hermoine spat out from where she cuddled into Harry for protection. "Probably gave his approval to this ambush!
Say poisoning was 'accidental', if he says anything?!"

"Grandmum will give someone a stroke for this!" Neville grinned. "She hates all sorts of mind-control! Especially love-potions. Harry? Hermoine?
What do you want me do to?"

"For now, my Lord Longbottom?" Hermoine whispered her reply. "Go and ask Lady Tsukino and her Court where you may safely move your things into House-Slytherin! As soon as possible."

"Sure thing, Hermoine!" Neville answered. "But? Why?"

"Do you see that rad-headed witchling in Slytherin? The one with the burning eyes?" Harry pointed to Lina Inverse. "She's why! And? You best warn your friends to leave the tower! I'm not sure? But, I think Minerva McGonigall's being warned, now?"

Neville then bowed to Harry, Hemoine, and the nurses, tellinng them he would check on them, at lunch, then made his way to the Slytherin-table.

Meanhile, Dumbledor was making his way to Gryffendor-Tower, under the observant eyes of Lina Inverse.

"Ah! Kyongshi returns to coffin!" Lina Inverse mused. "Tower holds sanctuary? Source-of-Power, maybe? Time to - rebuild - tower!"

"Dumbadoro-Baka cradles wand!" Xellos grinned. "Maybe thinks Headmaster's Office is no longer safe-enough to keep cursed-wand?"

"Wand is cursed?" Amelia Wil Tesla asked Xellos.

"Hai! Wand is cursed." Filia answered. "Ask Death-Eaters why Dumbadoro is their enemy? They tell me of Baka and of wand! Then? I read up on wand. Soaks up magic from all who use it! Dark-magic, especially! Very dark! Not only soaks up magic like sponge? Feeds magics to those who crave it!"

"So?" Zelgadis chuckled, "Baka has been poisoning himself!"

"Should be dead, already!" Filia looked at Gryffendor Tower in disgust. "Why Baka steals fame! Need life-force."

"Reason Tower must come down. Hai." Lina growled. "Stone by stone. To dust!"

At dinner, Neville met up with Harry, Hermoine, Makoto, Amelia Katherina Seraphim, Usagi, and Luna.

"Well? All my things are moved in with Draco's for now!" Neville said. "He, actaully, seems a fair-enough chap? Once you get him away from the crowd?"

"Well?" Hermoine said, "'The crowd' DOES kowtow to Draco's father, a bit? Draco does seem to be sufficated by the man?"

"I actually found myself feeling sorry for Draco, a year back!" Harry said. "Imagine? Being caught between Luciuus Malfoy and Albus Dumbledor!"

"Actually? Lucius doesn't seen that bad!" Hermoine said. "He IS scary! But? Not THAT evil!"

"It's amazing," Draco said, "What getting away from - certain people - can do to clear a person's vision? Even Madame McGonigall?"

"That's the truth times two!" Neville commented. "Well? We'd best get back to Gryfendor, to make sure everybody is there that should be there."

"Then?" Hermoine snickered. "Run, like the Devil was after you, to safety?"

And, every Slytherin who heard them snickered!

An hour later, after scouring the tower to warn friends - while avoiding Albus Dumbledore - the conspirators were entering Hufflepuff's common-room when they heard a chant from outside:
