P.S. Oh and wingnut, the reviewer. I wasn't really that hyped up when I did
the last chapter. I meant to say that I was very excited on what to mix next.
I just love crossovers more then the other fics because they seem to add
twice to thrice the fun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next week eventually came, and it was also their examination.
Everyone was given new writing quills for it. It was bewitched to prevent the
students form attempting to cheat. Every first year was given both practical
and written exams. No one even knew that it would finish as soon as it had
came. Some were funny, and some were dead serious, they don't know which one
was the worst. Their last exam, A History of Magic, ended. Everyone gave a
sigh of relief, and yes, almost everyone went out to smell the fresh air.
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu were not able to practice for this day because they
surely would be seen.

"It wasn't that difficult then I thought so." Hermione joined in with
all of the other students in the grounds. Then she started reviewing their
exam.

"Please Hermione, we've already just finished our exams I don't want
another headache on my head." Ron commented when she was reviewing them all
throughout the walk in the grounds."No more studying!"

Hikaru noticed that Harry was rubbing his scar, also the feeling she
felt around. Umi and Fuu seemed to feel it also, for they were looking around
for something. "Is there something wrong Harry?"

"I wish I knew Hikaru, lately it has been hurting continuously, not
like before. It's not supposed to hurt this often." Harry rubbed some more.

"Why don't you go to Madame Pomfrey?" Hermione suggested.

"I'm not sick, .. my scar seems to tell me something...more like
danger." Harry looked at Hikaru, Umi and Fuu. They were also looking back at
him with serious faces.

"Harry, I think Hermone's right. Dumbledore is still here, as well as
Snape who wasn't able to get past Fluffy last time. He would not do it in a
hurry next time because there was no proof that Snape already knew how to
get past Hagrid's pet." Ron reassured his worried friend.

Harry didn't seem to notice his friends much, he only went deep into
his thoughts again like that last time. This time Umi did not try to get his
attention once more, she as well as Fuu and Hikaru knew that the possible
answer was from Harry.He was because the boy who lived. Minutes later he gave
a quick jump, an idea had popped into his mind as he ran.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked.

"To see Hagrid." Harry gave a serious glance signaling that he got
something. The other five followed in a sprint.

"Why?" Fuu asked.

"Because I just thought of something to ask Hagrid about, and FAST!!"
Harry said,"Did you not think it seemed odd, that all Hagrid wanted was a
pet dragon then a stranger happened to give him a dragon egg in a game of
cards while drinking."

"What are you getting on?"Hermione looked at him with perplexed look.

"I mean, of all the possibilities, how many people carry around
dragon eggs when dragons are illegal or prohibited?" Harry heaved a large
breath as he was running to Hagrid's cabin."How were they able to see Hagrid?
It seems lucky or a coincidence, don't you think."

"I don't understand." Ron said but Harry did not answer back.

They reached Hagrid at the entrance of the Foridden Forest shelling
peas outside his cabin. "Hello there, just finished yer exams? Why don't we
have a drink and celebrate!"

"Yes please." Ron said but angry eyes all looked at him. "Maybe not."

"Hagrid we're in a hurry. I want to ask you something. Do you
remember the night you got Norbert? What did the stranger who played with you
looked like?"

"Dunno, he would not take his cloak off even inside the pub."

Everyone gave more looks on their faces, as cloak was mentioned.He
looked at them surprisingly. "It not that unusual, Harry. There so many odd
poeple that you see in Hogsmead. I really never saw his face, he kept the
hood up."

"What else did you talk about Hagrid?" Hermione asked some more.

"Did he mention about Hogwarts too?" Fuu followed up Hermione's
question.

"Well...let me see...it might have..yeah, he asked what I do an' I
told him that I was a gamekeeper...he then asked me what kind of creatures
I take care of..I told him, together with me wanting a dragon......wait...
can't remember much, he has been treatin' me to a lot o' drinks...and he also
said that he had a dragon egg.. willing to bet it in a game o' cards, but he
wanted to make sure I can handle the egg because he didn't like it to stay
in any house...then I told him if I can handle Fluffy, a dragon's no problem.

"Did he seemed interested when you mentioned Fluffy?"Harry asked.

"Well...Yeah... there are only a few three headed dogs that can be
found around in this world. An' I told him Fluffy's a piece o' cake if ya
know how to calm 'im down, just play some music an' he'll get back ter
sleep." Then Hagrid went cross again. "I shouldn't have tell you that. Forget
the thought. Wait, where yeh all goin'?"

The group followed Harry and all broke into a run running back into
the towering castle."We have to get to Dumbledore! It was either Sanpe or
Voldemort who was under that cloak and made Hagrid easier to talk to-once
he's drunk." Harry assumed the possible situation. I just wish Dumbledore
will understand the situation, maybe Firenze could even help us out in this,
if he is not pulled back by Bane." He looked at all of them. "Does anyone
know where Dumbledore's office is?"

Everyone stopped, throwing the same question at each other asking
where the Headmaster is. The three Magic Knights nodded together concluding
their toughts. "Harry, we know where he is located. But we are not allowed
to tell other students to. We suggest you also tell the other professors
while we ourselves give the Headmaster a visit." Hikaru finished.

Umi neared the other three. "I think we found the right persons to
stay with, and we thank you. Our mission may possibly be unfolded, we advise
you to take Hermione and Ron and tell the situation to the professors. We do
not want you to get into trouble."

Fuu added "It is our true destiny that we protect the people at all
costs. Please understand us."

The three mysterious students in front of Harry, Ron and Hermione
turned a different direction and started to walk awa from them. Harry just
looked at them with different feelings swelling from him.'They have helped
us more than twice, we have not repayed them back. And its Voldemort we're
talking about here, the most vilest Dark Wizard, the one who killed my
parents in front of my very innocent eyes, my enemy.' "Wait!" Harry said.

The three Knights only continued walking, ignoring his call and shook
their heads, telling once more that they are not supposed to interfere.

"Wait! We will come with you. We have been together this long, why
do we have to break it right now? Besides, we owe so much from you and we
want to repay you back."

Hikaru turned around,"The only way you can repay us back is be safe."
Hikaru gave a smile.

"But I am Harry Potter, mortal enemy of Voldemort and the enemy of
evil.He will be soon looking for me. I will not allow you three to be alone
because he also wants me."

"It is out of the question. By telling other professors that someone
has found a way to get the Stone, they too will be alerted to protect you."
Fuu said then ran away from them together with Hikaru and Umi before they
could argue more.

"What do we do now Harry?" Ron looked at his lightning scarred,green-
eyed friend.

"I think they are right Harry, they want what is best for you.Let's
go to Professor McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress." Hermione suggested.

"I hope you're right."


=That Night=
Both groups eventaully learned that tonight is the night the criminal
act shall be initiated. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu are in their dormitory discussing
their plans with Mokona. They have no faintest idea that Harry and his
friends had already gone.

"Why don't we try sending an urgent mail to the Headmaster?" Fuu
suggested.

"I think Hime is just right for the job." she called on her pet from
a nearby window.

"I'll write the letter." Hikaru took her parchment and began
scribbling away the situation here in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Hikaru then gave it to Umi.

"Here Hime. Bring this letter to Professor Dumbledore as fast as you
can because this is very important. Do not drop the letter to anyone but him
alone. Understand?"

The blue owl hooted and took off into the midnight blue sky.

"Let's go." Hikaru said.

"Wait! Let's check if Harry and the others are in their beds. They
might be planning the same thing." Fuu said.

Fuu was right, they were now gone. "Look at Neville! I'm sure this
is the work of Hermione"

They then reached a corridoor when Peeves the Poltergeist accidentaly
surprised them. The Knights brought out their powerful swords in alarm.
"Whoa! easy on me will you!"

"It's only you." Umi raised an eyebrow.

"What happened? You seem scared." Hikaru asked him.

"I saw the Bloody Baron-I mean I heard him. He told me he has reasons
for being invisible." Peeves said nervously.

"It's them!" Fuu gasped. "They've gotten there minutes earlier. We
must wear our armour now and run to the third floor!"

"O.K!" All three chorused as they raised their left arms and willed
their armour on.

They eventually reached the third floor and entered the room slowly.
It wasn't even long when the three-headed beast started barking at them. All
three froze. "I didn't expect Fluffy was THAT big!" Fuu gasped.

"Never mind. Start singing or we're dog food!" Umi shook Fuu to snap
back to her senses.

Fuu took in air and slowly sang a soft lullaby, lulling the beast to
sleep. It then went bump! signaling that it was now asleep. "Keep singing.
Good thing he did not cover much of the entrance to the next room. I'll go
first." she gave the guesture to both Umi and Fuu as she jumped in. Down,
down, down, down she went then with a thud."Everything's fine here. You can
come down now."Hikaru called onto them.

"We're coming then, come down next after I land." Umi said to the
still singing Fuu. She waited for a few minutes before she too, jumped and
came down.

"Eww!! What's this?!?!"came Umi's voice.

"Shh!! Just don't move, it looks like an animal crawling around our
bodies." Hikaru touched the creature holding her and felt its leave and
tendrils."It's a plant!!" she said aloud.

"But what kind of plant?" Fuu asked. "I can't see in this dark."

"Wait a second." Hikaru brought out her wand and said 'Lumos!'"Hey!
This is the Devil's Snare!" she exclaimed."And it had been burned earlier!"
she looked at the dark sooty deposit that was still there.

"I know what to do with that." Umi brought out her own wand from her
pocket.'Incensio Terum!' And within a blink of an eye Umi's wand ignited,
just like Hikaru's flame.She released Hikaru, Fuu and herself just in time
before they were squeezed to death.

"Many thanks for that one Umi." the red-haired girl said as she and
the others ran to the next room.

Sorry to cut it up to here. The last one I guess, will be the longest for the
story. As for making a sequel, I'll think about it. I only have Book one and
Book 3 of Harry Potter, while Book 2,3,4,5 of Rayearth.
I hope you are all satisfied with this. For any comments, suggestions, flame
or fan mail, please 5x e-mail me!
Sailor Ichi to sign off to sleepy land.
