A Prayer- Part 6
AN: Thanks again and again and again for your reviews! *v-sign to all of you* You guys rock! OH YEAH! And I don't want you peeps to think I forgot about Mamoru and Chibi-Usa! Cause I didn't! What'dya think? Should I put them in later? Or not? I thinking of having this big fight scene, like they have at the end of all of the SM movies! (Well, the ones I've seen, anywho) and having them appear then . . .or something . . . And I'm also thinking of having some relationships developing . . I'm thinking . .. Ron and Minako, Draco and . . . .??? Ideas!
*~*~*~*~*
"And this," Harry finished. "Is the Great Hall."
"Wow," Michiru gasped as she pointed to the ceiling.
"Amazing!" Haruka exclaimed.
"It's bewitched to look like the sky!" Hermione smiled.
"We couldn't possibly show this whole school to you in one day, and besides," Ron said, " I think it's almost dinner time!"
Sure enough, multitudes of children of all ages came rushing into the large room. They divided into 4 group and sat down at 4 tables. Before their very eyes, plates and silverware appeared, popping into existence along with great plates of food.
Usagi's eyes nearly fell out of her head. "WOW!" she screeched, drawing some attention to herself. "LOOK AT ALL THE FOOD!!"
The students looked over at them, and a red-faced Harry drew the group over to the Gryffindor table and sat them down at the vacant spots already prepared for them.
"Guys," Ron announced to the table. "These are our guests. They came all the way from Japan! Umm . . . I have a little trouble with your names, so I'll let you introduce yourselves."
Rei cleared her throat. "I'm Rei, this is Usagi, Makoto, Minako, Ami, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna. Oh yeah," she picked up the cats. "This is Luna and Artemis."
"OK, enough of introductions, let's eat!" Ron cried. They group sat down and began to eat. Hermione watched in amazement as Usagi inhaled the food on her plate and went back for seconds . . thirds . . .and so on.
"How does she do that?" Hermione whispered to Haruka.
"We don't know! No one does! It's one of the great wonders of nature!" Haruka laughed.
After dinner, Dumbledore cleared his throat and addressed the students. "Boys and girls, I would like you to meet some friends of mine. Girls," he motioned for the girls to come up.
Usagi hastily wiped her mouth on a napkin and led the group up to the front.
"These are some friends of mine, colleagues from Japan! "
Usagi cleared her throat nervously. "Konnichi wa, minna-chan! I'm Usagi, and these are my friends, Rei, Minako . . .." and she went on introducing her pals. "We are very happy to be visiting Hog . . . Hogwarts," Usagi blushed at her broken English. " and we look forward to spending time with you!"
A small clap from the audience
"All right, time for your afternoon classes!" Dumbledore announced. "Off you go! You will all have time to talk to the girls later."
"Professor," Harry said, after all the students had left. "Can I skip classes today? I need to talk with the girls."
"All right, but just this once. I certainly don't approve of skipping!" Dumbledore sighed and shook his head.
Harry led the girls up to the deserted common room and sat them down. "OK, we need to discuss a battle plan. I don't want to be caught off guard. I'm sure Voldemort won't take his time. He will attack as soon as he gathers his Death Ea . . .Uh, troops."
"Do you have a map of the school Harry?" Ami asked. "We need to point out the weak points and set up barriers."
"Um, yes, somewhere . . ." he went digging around in his trunk unto he found it: The Marauders Map. He tapped it with his wand and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." ((AN: I think that's what he says . . .)) Lines ebbed across the old parchment and dots started to appear. Then they began to move.
"Wow!" Rei said in awe. "That has to be helpful!"
"Yeah," Harry said with a smile. "My father and his friends made it."
Ami observed the map, then scanned it with her mini super computer. "Hmmmm," she said thoughtfully. "Some sort of shield is set up around this school, correct? I wonder if it'll be strong enough . . "
Makoto suddenly slammed her fist on the chair arm. "We shouldn't wait for them to meet us here! We want to keep the student out of the way, right? Well, let's go meet them!"
Haruka sighed. "She's right. We shouldn't let the students get involved. We have to be prepared. When they come, we rise up and meet them."
"But how will we know when they come?"
"With this, of course!" Ami anwered, tapping her computer. "It's highly sensitive in sensing abnormal energy."
Setsuna sighed. "So that means, all we have to do now is . . ."
"Wait."
*~*~*~*~*
Ron gazed out the window of the Potions class. Blah, he thought. I hate potions. I think Malfoy is making faces at me, but I'm not gonna look . . .
"Weasley! Sorry to disturb your rest, but you have notes to take!"
"Sorry SIR," Ron sighed, making sure to put in the exact right amount of sarcasm on the word sir. It was true, no one respected Snape. No one was even frightened by him anymore, except for Neville, who was frightened by everything. Now, most people were just annoyed by him. And he knew it too.
But right now, Ron wasn't thinking about notes. He wasn't thinking about how much he hated Snape, or what amount of Porcupine needles to put in the potion they were preparing to make. He was thinking about Minako.
He had never really felt this way before. He had liked girls before, but he had never been bold enough to show it. But the way Minako's eyes shimmered when she was happy, or the way her hair framed her face made Ron want to swoon.
*~*~*~*
Malfoy frowned. Look at Weasley, he thought. Look's like he hasn't got a care in the world. I can't help but envy that red-headed prat.
Ah ha! he smiled to himself. He must be in love! Malfoy ran a hand through his blonde hair and smiled. He's even a bigger prat than I thought, thinking that any girl would fall for him.
*~*~*~*~*
That's it for now. I know it's a little bit smaller than the rest, but I have some business to take care of . . .*begins to sniffle* I have to correct a mistake in my last story. I accidentally said Malfoy's hair was black, and every time I read a review that corrects it, it make me want to . . .*gasp* delete it! Bah! I'm OK! I'll try to get on with the next part as soon as possible, K? Ja ne! ^_^
