~Chapter 4~ *...Quidditch Commenses...*
Lessons that day went by surprisingly quick, however they only difference between today and yesterday was that they all had homework, some which included an essay on the difference between a Stethical Potion and a Herbial Potion for Professor Snape which was due in on Monday. All too quickly, Divination class came. "Welcome to your second day of Divination," came Professor Trelawney's mystical voice. A silhouette of her appeared in the mists of the shadows, and she dramatically emerged.
"Today, we will resume studying the powers of the Tealeaves," she said. "Please, partner up quickly again…" Usagi bit her lower lip and walked down to Hermione. Malfoy frowned deeply at her. "Hermione…" she began quietly. "I…I'm not aloud to be your partner," she said rolling her eyes resentfully. Hermione sighed. "It's alright, I understand…Malfoy, ne?" she asked. Usagi nodded. Hermione smiled. "It's alright, Usagi." Usagi smiled dully. "Thank you Hermione. Thanks for putting up with me and my baka ways." Hermione shook her head. "No, it's Malfoy who's the baka," Hermione said with a frown. Usagi giggled and nodded. Hermione paired up with Neville and Usagi walked back over to Malfoy, smiling derisively. He in turn smirked.
The class proceeded just as it had the previous day. Not many students having much luck, while quite a few students simply made up what they saw. Usagi peered hard into hers, and then whispered aloud to Malfoy, "Do you see anything?" Malfoy, who was examining his cup boredly, sighed. "Nope, nothin'." Usagi glanced harder and tried to think of what the blobs in her cup would be. "Maybe it's a…rabbit…no, a monkey...usagizaru…?" Malfoy snickered and Usagi grinned.
Divination finally ended (with no success from anyone other than Lavender and Parvati), and a homework assignment was due on Tuesday. An essay had to be written about what they saw within the tealeaves. Usagi grumbled and grudgingly left the class. "Didn't see a damn thing," she was muttering under her breath. "Usagi-chan," Malfoy's voice came. Usagi turned around and smiled. "You DO have a broomstick, right?" Malfoy asked drawly. Usagi nodded and grinned. "What kind?" Malfoy asked curiously. "I dunno, it was sent to me from this woman who came by a month ago to my house. I think it's a Firebolt or something," she said, looking over her homework assignments again.
Malfoy stopped walking abruptly and he looked at her incredulously. "Are you serious? Are you sure you didn't get the name wrong?" he asked her slowly. Usagi thought for a moment and shook her head. "Iie, I'm positive," she said. Malfoy still looked at her skeptically. "Usagi, Firebolt's cost…a lot! Who gave it to you?" Usagi shrugged. "I told ya, I dunno who the woman was. She just stopped by and delivered this. Said it was a present for me." The two of them entered the portrait of the knight with the new password ("DoolbDum") {AN: heh heh, spell it backwards o.o…} and exited the common room. The two of them went to their dorms to retrieve their broomsticks.
When Usagi entered, she saw that the four other girls were there also. "So…Usagi-chan…gonna get that private lesson now, ne?" said Miaka with a sly grin. Usagi blushed. "How do you…oh yeah we all eat together…" She sweatdropped. "Well Usagi-chan, I gotta tell ya, you two are not going to be the only one's there," Haruka said, who was laying on her bed reading a manga. Usagi looked at Haruka in confusion. "What do you mean?" she questioned. "Well…As you realize, everyone's heard that you're going to get your flying lesson today be Malfoy, so obviously, everyone is going to go down to the Quidditch Field to watch." Usagi's eyes widened.
"But…but…But I don't even know how to fly!! How embarrassing!" Usagi shrieked. Sawa smiled at her reassuringly. "Daijoubu, Usagi-chan. We're all going to come down to the Quidditch Field to watch in a few minutes." Usagi sighed and hastily grabbed her broomstick. She walked out of the dormitory and saw Malfoy there waiting for her. He walked over to her and examined her broomstick. "Wow…it really is a Firebolt…that certainly would make an excellent addition to the Quidditch Team…." The two of them then walked out of the school and headed for the Quidditch Field. When they got there, they saw many, many people sitting in the stands. When Usagi and Malfoy came, they all cheered, as if they were contestants for a Quidditch match about to commence.
Usagi gulped nervously. "M-Malfoy," she began in a quivering voice, "why are they all here?" Malfoy shrugged. "I guess the idiots are bored and have nothing else to do." Usagi kept her eyes on the ground nervously as the walked onto the field. "Daijoubu," Malfoy whispered to her. Malfoy scanned the audience, seeing who was there. Much to his displeasure, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had came. Malfoy scowled at them, but kept his mind to the fact that he was here to teach Usagi how to fly.
As Usagi walked passed the crowd, and audible gasp was heard from them all.
"Is that a Firebolt?!"
"No way!! Oh my goodness, I think it IS a Firebolt!"
"Where's she get that from?"
All at once, the 'audience' began talking loudly about the Firebolt. Even Ron, Harry, and Hermione were quite astonished. Once they had walked far enough out onto the field, Malfoy began instructing Usagi. "Now, put your broom down on the ground next to you," he began, trying hard to remember how the lesson went when he learned his first year how to fly. "Now, place your right hand over the broom and say 'Up'." Usagi took a steady breath. "Up!" she said. The broom skillfully floated up and into Usagi's grasp, as if it had done this a thousand times.
Malfoy nodded his head in approval. He then taught her how to mount her broom, and levitate off the ground. The crowd watched, now talking in hushed whispers, still shocked Usagi had a Firebolt, but also trying hard to here what they were saying from out on the field.
Usagi was a few feet off the ground, trying very hard to breathe normally. Malfoy, who had mounted his broom as well (which was a Nimbus Two-Thousand-One), continued instructing. "Good. Now, go up further…" Usagi nodded and began to rise up, and, deciding to be a bit daring, she tried flying. To her great amazement, it was quite easy. The crowd watched in awe as her Firebolt glided around the sky. Usagi laughed happily and whirled around. Malfoy rose in the air and watched her with a smirk. "Very good, Usagi-chan," he said in a mildly pleased voice. Usagi flew back over to him. "Oh thank you so much, Malfoy!" she said happily. He smirked smugly and crossed his arms across his chest.
"So…what does a chaser do again?" she asked sheepishly, forgetting what he had said. Malfoy sighed. "Chasers deal with the Quaffle and have to try to score it through those goals," he said, pointing to the large ring goals nearby. Usagi nodded in understanding. "Alright…I got it," she said confidently. Malfoy smirked. "Well, if you need anymore help, just ask." Usagi smiled gratefully at him. "Malfoy...I…I just…I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything. You've helped me out the very moment I arrived here, and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate it." She gave him a tearful smile. Malfoy scowled. "Yeah, yeah, no problem Usagi-chan, just don't get all sentimental." The two of them then flew down to the ground, and the crowd of people was applauding loudly. Mostly, the audience consisted of Slytherin members, however there were quite a few Hufflepuff as well as Ravenclaw, and a very few Gryffindor.
Usagi looked up into the crowd to see that Lain, Sawa, Miaka, and Haruka were there, smiling and clapping loudly with everyone else. Usagi beamed at them. "Well done Usagi-chan!!!" They shouted to her happily over the cheering crowd. "Arigato!" She called back. Albus Dumbledore, who had been watching the whole thing, now stepped forward. "Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Tsukino, I truly must say, that is some of the best teaching, as well as some of the best first time flying I have seen in a while." He smiled at them, his eyes twinkling. "40 points awarded to Slytherin," he said with a wide grin. Usagi smiled happily and even Malfoy grinned a bit. "I must say, Usagi, you did quite an excellent job flying. I do suppose you will be trying out for the needed Chaser?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.
Usagi nodded. "Hai, I do intend to try." Dumbledore's smile widened. He gently patted Usagi's head before bidding them all farewell and walking away. The crowd then swarmed around the two of them, trying to get a better looked at Usagi, Malfoy, and the Firebolt. Harry, Ron, and Hermione squeezed their ways through the crowd until they were at the front of it. "Hey Usagi!" greeted Ron. "That was really great! I mean, you did really good for your first time!" Harry grinned at Usagi. "Yeah! You did pretty well! I wish you good luck for trying out on the Quidditch Team, that way we could-"
"Oh honestly Potter, go away," said Malfoy tiredly. "When you two idiots are done flirting with Usagi, take that Mudblood to the gallows or something," he said with a sneer. Usagi, Ron, Harry, and Hermione all blushed-Usagi out of awkwardness; Hermione out of shear anger; Ron and Harry out of anger as well as embarrassment. Malfoy smiled. "Bai bai," he said to the three of them, grasping Usagi's hand and helping her get out of the crowd.
"Thanks," Usagi said breathlessly, glad to of gotten out of the mob of people. Malfoy nodded and began walking back to the school, never letting go of her hand.
**
Unbelievably fast, Saturday morning came. Usagi awoke early, not really getting much sleep in the first place. She went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, but she found she couldn't eat since she was so nervous. She picked at her sausage and waited anxiously. Malfoy sighed. "Daijoubu, don't worry. You'll do fine," he reassured her. Usagi nodded dully. The minutes seemed to fly by in seconds, and Usagi now had to go to the Quidditch Field. She went to her dorm and got her broomstick. The four girls wished her luck, and Usagi went on her way.
"Alright…It's gonna be ok…I'm gonna do fie," she muttered to herself over and over again. She quickly walked down to the Quidditch Field, keeping her breathing normal. When she arrived, there were quite a few people there. The four Quidditch Team members were there, and Malfoy gave her an encouraging smile. Usagi smiled back, feeling slightly better. To her surprise, she saw Harry there, until she remembered that he was on the Quidditch team for Gryffindor. She smiled at him, and he grinned at her. "Good luck," he said. Usagi smiled.
The Quidditch captain for each team took the people of their house that wanted to try out. "Alright…now mount your brooms, and stay in the air," commanded the Slytherin captain, Marcus Flint. The three people that were trying out for chaser did so. Usagi and two second-year girls were the only ones trying out for the spot. "Alright, now, here's the Quaffle…."
The tryouts were fairly easy. Usagi kept scoring goals with the Quaffle, while the two second-year girls tried desperately to keep up with her Firebolt. The Slytherin team below watched in admiration as Usagi scored another goal against the two other girls. "Alright, that will be enough," came the Slytherin captain's voice. Usagi sighed heavily and glided down with the two other sulking girls. "Well, here ya have it. Usagi, you're on the team." Usagi beamed excitedly. The Slytherin team was now cheering for Usagi and congratulating her. The other team tryouts commenced, however, Usagi wasn't really paying attention. She still couldn't believe she had made it.
"Alright now, the first Quidditch Match of the year will take place ten days after Halloween," said Flint. "We'll be playing against Gryffindor." Usagi smiled. Things were going pretty well. 'Arigato Malfoy. I owe you big time, and someday, I'll find a way to pay you back,' she silently thought to herself.
Never had she expected, that time would come sooner than she imagined…
**
Halloween came relatively quickly. The work became more demanding, but Usagi managed to keep up with it all. Professor Treelawney had taken a great liking to Usagi, however Usagi hadn't the faintest idea why. Usagi awoke on Halloween morning and went down to the Great Hall. Rather than the floating candles like always, the whole place was redecorated and floating Jack-o-lanterns were in their place. "Happy Halloween," Usagi said happily to Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. "Happy Halloween, Usagi," they all said in unison. Usagi laughed. The Great Hall was buzzing with festive happiness. The teachers assembled in the front at their proper places. Dumbledore gave a brief speech, wishing them all a Happy Halloween.
The food magically filled the plates and Usagi's mouth began to water. She filled her plate sky high and began to dig in. Everyone else was eating at a rapid pace also. "This 'so good," Usagi said through a mouthful of pumpkin pie. After the long feast, they went to their dorms. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Usagi moaned, obviously having ate too much food. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle laughed.
The next day, class started up again. Potions was by far Usagi's hardest class. Usagi could tell Professor Snape mostly gave them so much homework because of his loathing for Harry, and he was trying to make sure he was piled with homework night after night. Unfortunately, this also meant they all had to do much homework as well. Care of Magical Creatures certainly proved to be interesting. They had finished their unit on hippogriffs, and they were now studying unicorns. "Jus' one at a time," Hagrid said gruffly. "Tha's right, jus' pet'em sof'ly," he said. Usagi stared misty eyes at the unicorn. It's deep blue eyes looked at all of the students, and it made a soft snort. Usagi stepped forward and gently patted its head. The unicorn nuzzled her hand softly, and Usagi quietly laughed. The other students went forward and petted it as well.
Finally, Divination came. Professor Treelawney made her dramatic entrance as usual. "Welcome. Today, we will be starting a new unit. The Crystal Ball…" Usagi sighed in relief. Finally, they were done with the stupid Tealeaves. Professor Treelawney passed around the crystal balls, her many jewelries and bangles jingling loudly. "Now, use your Inner Eye and tell me what you see," she whispered mysteriously. Hermione sighed loudly. "This is so stupid! This is all rubbish," she said. Professor Trelawney sighed. "You know, from the moment I saw you, I always new you had no potential for the Inner Eye," she said, trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Whatever…"
Usagi smiled a bit because she felt the same way as Hermione did. Regardless of her thoughts, she peered into the crystal ball. The inside was a swirling white. Usagi stared at it deeply, sighing. It was rather comforting to look at. As the misty white swirled inside, something began to form. She gasped as she looked inside. Professor Trelawney hurried up and looked into it with her. "What do you see?" she asked her eagerly. The whole class was now looking at her. "I see…I see them again," she murmured. Inside, the swirling white mist had formed several shapes, no doubt the people that had been haunting her for a while. She saw the girl in the front, her long hair blowing softly. Usagi kept her eyes on them, and Professor Treelawney did as well. "Usagi…who are they?" she asked her. Usagi frowned. "I don't know who they are," she whispered.
Suddenly, the image disappeared and the crystal ball began to shake. Usagi stood up and backed away, as did everyone else sitting in her row. The globe continued to shake, and then it exploded. Everyone screamed and ducked, shards flying everywhere. After everything became silent, everyone slowly stood up. Luckily, no one was hurt. Usagi stared entranced at the place where the crystal ball had been. Everyone was staring at Usagi, then the place where the crystal had been, and then back at Usagi again.
Needless to say, Divination was cut short. "Usagi-chan…what happened?" Malfoy asked. Usagi looked at him and shrugged. "I really don't know Malfoy," she said to him. "I…I saw…never mind. It's not important," she mumbled. Malfoy frowned. "Tell me." Usagi sighed. "I can't explain it. Just…sometimes, I see these people in my head. Corny, lame, I know. I used to see just these five women, and one of them kinda looked like me. But...recently, I've been seeing four other woman too. It's so weird….I feel as if I've met them before, yet I have no clue who they are. In the crystal ball, I saw them again…" She frowned. "I just don't get it." Malfoy sighed. "Well, they probably have something to do with the past you can't remember," he said, thinking about it as they walked to the knight's portrait. "You know, I think you may be right," she murmured. They sat down at a table in the common room.
"I just want to figure out who they are," she said with a sigh. Malfoy stayed quiet. "It's just…I know they play an important part in my life, but, I just don't know!" Usagi frowned deeply. "Why can't I remember?!" She lowered her head in a depressed manner. She then looked up at him again. "Ne…I have a favor to ask of you," she told him seriously. "Nani?" he asked. "Will you…will you…help me with my Potions homework?" she asked him sheepishly. He sighed in exasperation but nodded.
**
As the days progressed, Usagi, Malfoy, and the rest of the Quidditch team practiced more vigorously in the afternoons. And finally, it arrived-- the day of the Quidditch Match. Usagi hastily changed into her green Quidditch robes, got her Firebolt, and proceeded out. She waited in the sections she had been told to wait in, and stood next to Malfoy. "Nervous?" he asked her. "H-hai," she whispered. Malfoy placed his hand on her shoulder. "Daijoubu," he said in a semi-comforting way. Usagi smiled nervously. "Alright, they're ready for us," said Captain Flint. They all walked out and immediately mounted their brooms, "And now, here's the Slytherin Team!" came the commentator, Lee Jordan's voice. "First time Quidditch player Usagi Tsukino joined the team quite recently as a Chaser. And…fantastic! Amazingly folks, that is a true Firebolt Usagi has, unbelievable! Quite a pity she's on the Slytherin team and not Gryffindor, the Firebolt cannot be beaten…With a built in auto-brake and precision balance-"
"Jordan! Please concern yourself only with the events of the match," Professor McGonagall said. "Alright, alright…And now, here comes the Gryffindor Team!" Applause erupted from fellow Gryffindor members in the stands. "Alright now, captains shake hands," said Madam Hooch, the referee. Flint and Wood stepped forward and briskly shook hands. "Alright, begin!" All at once, everyone kicked off the ground and soared through the air. Usagi kept her eyes on the Quaffle as it was passed around. Alicia Johnson, a Gryffindor keeper, caught the Quaffle and threw it to score. Usagi intercepted it quickly and flew toward the Gryffindor's goal post. She threw it and-
"SCORE from Slytherin!!" shouted Lee Jordan. "Unfortunately for Gryffindor, they won't be able to keep up with the state of the art Firebolt, which by far will definitely be the choice broom at the World Championship, with a clean polish so fine-"
"Jordan," Professor McGonagall began warningly. "Sorry Professor…anyways, score is now Ten-Zero, Slytherin in the lead. Come on Gryffindor!!! If Slytherin wins this match, they will by far almost certainly win the house cup for the first time in two years. The Quaffle passed by Alicia again-WATCH OUT FOR THE BLUDGER!! Ouch! Too late, Angelina of Gryffindor hit hard with a Bludger…Usagi again with the Quaffle, she shoots…SHE SCORES!!" Thundering applauds sounded from the Slytherin crowd.
The game continued with hardly any difficulties, Slytherin leading Forty-Twenty. After a while, Malfoy saw it, the Golden Snitch. He lunged downward for it, and Harry followed. Harry hadn't seen it, but he knew Malfoy must have. Harry dived after him, and still didn't see it, so rather than go after it, he put a great amount of speed into his broom and flew so he was in front of Malfoy. Malfoy jerked abruptly and found to his great anger that he had lost sight of the Golden Snitch. He flew back up into the air and waited for another sighting of it. Harry followed, staying close to Malfoy in case he saw it, but also keeping an eye out himself. Malfoy, annoyed with this flew higher until he was a good 100 to 110 feet from the ground. Harry still followed.
"Go away Potter," Malfoy said, annoyed. "No," Harry said calmly. Malfoy smirked. "Why don't you go back down there to Usagi," he said, pointing his finger down at her. Harry frowned and blushed a little. "Shut up Malfoy," he mumbled. Malfoy laughed. "What's the matter? Does Potter have his first crush? His first little crush that doesn't admire and fawn over him like the rest of the lot?" Malfoy sneered. "Trust me, Usagi-chan would never go for you." Harry frowned. "That's not true…" he said before he could stop himself. Malfoy snickered and flew a circle around Harry. "Oh honestly, Usagi-chan is actually smart enough to tell that your nothing. She doesn't like you. She might even hate you." Malfoy was enjoying this, seeing Harry look crestfallen and hurt. "You're lying," he said coldly.
Malfoy raised an eyebrow. "Am I now? Why do you think she always hangs around me and not you? Sure, we are in the same house, but you two have plenty of opportunities to be together. I mean, we are enemies after all, you and I, so there can only be one side she's on. Mine. Face it, Potter, you'll never have her. All of the fame and glory you get will never get you even an inch closer to her." Malfoy's eyes were glinting with malice now.
Usagi had just scored another goal, which caused erupting applauds once again from the Slytherin crowd. Everyone was paying attention to her and the Quaffle, rather than Harry and Malfoy way up above. Malfoy looked down at Usagi as she smiled brilliantly. A gentle smile crossed his lips. "Kawaii, isn't she? Ever so kawaii…Too bad you won't ever have her. She's mine. As mine as all of the fame and glory is yours." Harry was seething. "No…she's…NOT!!" With that, he lunged forward in an attempt to knock Malfoy off of his broomstick. Malfoy flew to the side and frowned.
"No need to be so jealous, Potter, I'm just simply telling it how it is. It hurts, doesn't it?" Malfoy smirked. "Good. It should. Face the facts, Potter. You can never have her. She is mine…she may not legitimately be mine, but I will make her mine, one way or another…" He smirked. Harry's eyes widened and then narrowed to small slits. He outstretched his arm and sprang forward fast. His arm connected with Malfoy's throat with a dull, sickening cluck. Immediately, Malfoy fell from his broom and began plummeting to the ground.

~Chapter 4~ *...Quidditch Commenses...*
Lessons that day went by surprisingly quick, however they only difference between today and yesterday was that they all had homework, some which included an essay on the difference between a Stethical Potion and a Herbial Potion for Professor Snape which was due in on Monday. All too quickly, Divination class came. "Welcome to your second day of Divination," came Professor Trelawney's mystical voice. A silhouette of her appeared in the mists of the shadows, and she dramatically emerged.
"Today, we will resume studying the powers of the Tealeaves," she said. "Please, partner up quickly again…" Usagi bit her lower lip and walked down to Hermione. Malfoy frowned deeply at her. "Hermione…" she began quietly. "I…I'm not aloud to be your partner," she said rolling her eyes resentfully. Hermione sighed. "It's alright, I understand…Malfoy, ne?" she asked. Usagi nodded. Hermione smiled. "It's alright, Usagi." Usagi smiled dully. "Thank you Hermione. Thanks for putting up with me and my baka ways." Hermione shook her head. "No, it's Malfoy who's the baka," Hermione said with a frown. Usagi giggled and nodded. Hermione paired up with Neville and Usagi walked back over to Malfoy, smiling derisively. He in turn smirked.
The class proceeded just as it had the previous day. Not many students having much luck, while quite a few students simply made up what they saw. Usagi peered hard into hers, and then whispered aloud to Malfoy, "Do you see anything?" Malfoy, who was examining his cup boredly, sighed. "Nope, nothin'." Usagi glanced harder and tried to think of what the blobs in her cup would be. "Maybe it's a…rabbit…no, a monkey...usagizaru…?" Malfoy snickered and Usagi grinned.
Divination finally ended (with no success from anyone other than Lavender and Parvati), and a homework assignment was due on Tuesday. An essay had to be written about what they saw within the tealeaves. Usagi grumbled and grudgingly left the class. "Didn't see a damn thing," she was muttering under her breath. "Usagi-chan," Malfoy's voice came. Usagi turned around and smiled. "You DO have a broomstick, right?" Malfoy asked drawly. Usagi nodded and grinned. "What kind?" Malfoy asked curiously. "I dunno, it was sent to me from this woman who came by a month ago to my house. I think it's a Firebolt or something," she said, looking over her homework assignments again.
Malfoy stopped walking abruptly and he looked at her incredulously. "Are you serious? Are you sure you didn't get the name wrong?" he asked her slowly. Usagi thought for a moment and shook her head. "Iie, I'm positive," she said. Malfoy still looked at her skeptically. "Usagi, Firebolt's cost…a lot! Who gave it to you?" Usagi shrugged. "I told ya, I dunno who the woman was. She just stopped by and delivered this. Said it was a present for me." The two of them entered the portrait of the knight with the new password ("DoolbDum") {AN: heh heh, spell it backwards o.o…} and exited the common room. The two of them went to their dorms to retrieve their broomsticks.
When Usagi entered, she saw that the four other girls were there also. "So…Usagi-chan…gonna get that private lesson now, ne?" said Miaka with a sly grin. Usagi blushed. "How do you…oh yeah we all eat together…" She sweatdropped. "Well Usagi-chan, I gotta tell ya, you two are not going to be the only one's there," Haruka said, who was laying on her bed reading a manga. Usagi looked at Haruka in confusion. "What do you mean?" she questioned. "Well…As you realize, everyone's heard that you're going to get your flying lesson today be Malfoy, so obviously, everyone is going to go down to the Quidditch Field to watch." Usagi's eyes widened.
"But…but…But I don't even know how to fly!! How embarrassing!" Usagi shrieked. Sawa smiled at her reassuringly. "Daijoubu, Usagi-chan. We're all going to come down to the Quidditch Field to watch in a few minutes." Usagi sighed and hastily grabbed her broomstick. She walked out of the dormitory and saw Malfoy there waiting for her. He walked over to her and examined her broomstick. "Wow…it really is a Firebolt…that certainly would make an excellent addition to the Quidditch Team…." The two of them then walked out of the school and headed for the Quidditch Field. When they got there, they saw many, many people sitting in the stands. When Usagi and Malfoy came, they all cheered, as if they were contestants for a Quidditch match about to commence.
Usagi gulped nervously. "M-Malfoy," she began in a quivering voice, "why are they all here?" Malfoy shrugged. "I guess the idiots are bored and have nothing else to do." Usagi kept her eyes on the ground nervously as the walked onto the field. "Daijoubu," Malfoy whispered to her. Malfoy scanned the audience, seeing who was there. Much to his displeasure, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had came. Malfoy scowled at them, but kept his mind to the fact that he was here to teach Usagi how to fly.
As Usagi walked passed the crowd, and audible gasp was heard from them all.
"Is that a Firebolt?!"
"No way!! Oh my goodness, I think it IS a Firebolt!"
"Where's she get that from?"
All at once, the 'audience' began talking loudly about the Firebolt. Even Ron, Harry, and Hermione were quite astonished. Once they had walked far enough out onto the field, Malfoy began instructing Usagi. "Now, put your broom down on the ground next to you," he began, trying hard to remember how the lesson went when he learned his first year how to fly. "Now, place your right hand over the broom and say 'Up'." Usagi took a steady breath. "Up!" she said. The broom skillfully floated up and into Usagi's grasp, as if it had done this a thousand times.
Malfoy nodded his head in approval. He then taught her how to mount her broom, and levitate off the ground. The crowd watched, now talking in hushed whispers, still shocked Usagi had a Firebolt, but also trying hard to here what they were saying from out on the field.
Usagi was a few feet off the ground, trying very hard to breathe normally. Malfoy, who had mounted his broom as well (which was a Nimbus Two-Thousand-One), continued instructing. "Good. Now, go up further…" Usagi nodded and began to rise up, and, deciding to be a bit daring, she tried flying. To her great amazement, it was quite easy. The crowd watched in awe as her Firebolt glided around the sky. Usagi laughed happily and whirled around. Malfoy rose in the air and watched her with a smirk. "Very good, Usagi-chan," he said in a mildly pleased voice. Usagi flew back over to him. "Oh thank you so much, Malfoy!" she said happily. He smirked smugly and crossed his arms across his chest.
"So…what does a chaser do again?" she asked sheepishly, forgetting what he had said. Malfoy sighed. "Chasers deal with the Quaffle and have to try to score it through those goals," he said, pointing to the large ring goals nearby. Usagi nodded in understanding. "Alright…I got it," she said confidently. Malfoy smirked. "Well, if you need anymore help, just ask." Usagi smiled gratefully at him. "Malfoy...I…I just…I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything. You've helped me out the very moment I arrived here, and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate it." She gave him a tearful smile. Malfoy scowled. "Yeah, yeah, no problem Usagi-chan, just don't get all sentimental." The two of them then flew down to the ground, and the crowd of people was applauding loudly. Mostly, the audience consisted of Slytherin members, however there were quite a few Hufflepuff as well as Ravenclaw, and a very few Gryffindor.
Usagi looked up into the crowd to see that Lain, Sawa, Miaka, and Haruka were there, smiling and clapping loudly with everyone else. Usagi beamed at them. "Well done Usagi-chan!!!" They shouted to her happily over the cheering crowd. "Arigato!" She called back. Albus Dumbledore, who had been watching the whole thing, now stepped forward. "Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Tsukino, I truly must say, that is some of the best teaching, as well as some of the best first time flying I have seen in a while." He smiled at them, his eyes twinkling. "40 points awarded to Slytherin," he said with a wide grin. Usagi smiled happily and even Malfoy grinned a bit. "I must say, Usagi, you did quite an excellent job flying. I do suppose you will be trying out for the needed Chaser?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.
Usagi nodded. "Hai, I do intend to try." Dumbledore's smile widened. He gently patted Usagi's head before bidding them all farewell and walking away. The crowd then swarmed around the two of them, trying to get a better looked at Usagi, Malfoy, and the Firebolt. Harry, Ron, and Hermione squeezed their ways through the crowd until they were at the front of it. "Hey Usagi!" greeted Ron. "That was really great! I mean, you did really good for your first time!" Harry grinned at Usagi. "Yeah! You did pretty well! I wish you good luck for trying out on the Quidditch Team, that way we could-"
"Oh honestly Potter, go away," said Malfoy tiredly. "When you two idiots are done flirting with Usagi, take that Mudblood to the gallows or something," he said with a sneer. Usagi, Ron, Harry, and Hermione all blushed-Usagi out of awkwardness; Hermione out of shear anger; Ron and Harry out of anger as well as embarrassment. Malfoy smiled. "Bai bai," he said to the three of them, grasping Usagi's hand and helping her get out of the crowd.
"Thanks," Usagi said breathlessly, glad to of gotten out of the mob of people. Malfoy nodded and began walking back to the school, never letting go of her hand.

Unbelievably fast, Saturday morning came. Usagi awoke early, not really getting much sleep in the first place. She went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, but she found she couldn't eat since she was so nervous. She picked at her sausage and waited anxiously. Malfoy sighed. "Daijoubu, don't worry. You'll do fine," he reassured her. Usagi nodded dully. The minutes seemed to fly by in seconds, and Usagi now had to go to the Quidditch Field. She went to her dorm and got her broomstick. The four girls wished her luck, and Usagi went on her way.
"Alright…It's gonna be ok…I'm gonna do fie," she muttered to herself over and over again. She quickly walked down to the Quidditch Field, keeping her breathing normal. When she arrived, there were quite a few people there. The four Quidditch Team members were there, and Malfoy gave her an encouraging smile. Usagi smiled back, feeling slightly better. To her surprise, she saw Harry there, until she remembered that he was on the Quidditch team for Gryffindor. She smiled at him, and he grinned at her. "Good luck," he said. Usagi smiled.
The Quidditch captain for each team took the people of their house that wanted to try out. "Alright…now mount your brooms, and stay in the air," commanded the Slytherin captain, Marcus Flint. The three people that were trying out for chaser did so. Usagi and two second-year girls were the only ones trying out for the spot. "Alright, now, here's the Quaffle…."
The tryouts were fairly easy. Usagi kept scoring goals with the Quaffle, while the two second-year girls tried desperately to keep up with her Firebolt. The Slytherin team below watched in admiration as Usagi scored another goal against the two other girls. "Alright, that will be enough," came the Slytherin captain's voice. Usagi sighed heavily and glided down with the two other sulking girls. "Well, here ya have it. Usagi, you're on the team." Usagi beamed excitedly. The Slytherin team was now cheering for Usagi and congratulating her. The other team tryouts commenced, however, Usagi wasn't really paying attention. She still couldn't believe she had made it.
"Alright now, the first Quidditch Match of the year will take place ten days after Halloween," said Flint. "We'll be playing against Gryffindor." Usagi smiled. Things were going pretty well. 'Arigato Malfoy. I owe you big time, and someday, I'll find a way to pay you back,' she silently thought to herself.
Never had she expected, that time would come sooner than she imagined…
**
Halloween came relatively quickly. The work became more demanding, but Usagi managed to keep up with it all. Professor Treelawney had taken a great liking to Usagi, however Usagi hadn't the faintest idea why. Usagi awoke on Halloween morning and went down to the Great Hall. Rather than the floating candles like always, the whole place was redecorated and floating Jack-o-lanterns were in their place. "Happy Halloween," Usagi said happily to Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. "Happy Halloween, Usagi," they all said in unison. Usagi laughed. The Great Hall was buzzing with festive happiness. The teachers assembled in the front at their proper places. Dumbledore gave a brief speech, wishing them all a Happy Halloween.
The food magically filled the plates and Usagi's mouth began to water. She filled her plate sky high and began to dig in. Everyone else was eating at a rapid pace also. "This 'so good," Usagi said through a mouthful of pumpkin pie. After the long feast, they went to their dorms. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Usagi moaned, obviously having ate too much food. Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle laughed.
The next day, class started up again. Potions was by far Usagi's hardest class. Usagi could tell Professor Snape mostly gave them so much homework because of his loathing for Harry, and he was trying to make sure he was piled with homework night after night. Unfortunately, this also meant they all had to do much homework as well. Care of Magical Creatures certainly proved to be interesting. They had finished their unit on hippogriffs, and they were now studying unicorns. "Jus' one at a time," Hagrid said gruffly. "Tha's right, jus' pet'em sof'ly," he said. Usagi stared misty eyes at the unicorn. It's deep blue eyes looked at all of the students, and it made a soft snort. Usagi stepped forward and gently patted its head. The unicorn nuzzled her hand softly, and Usagi quietly laughed. The other students went forward and petted it as well.
Finally, Divination came. Professor Treelawney made her dramatic entrance as usual. "Welcome. Today, we will be starting a new unit. The Crystal Ball…" Usagi sighed in relief. Finally, they were done with the stupid Tealeaves. Professor Treelawney passed around the crystal balls, her many jewelries and bangles jingling loudly. "Now, use your Inner Eye and tell me what you see," she whispered mysteriously. Hermione sighed loudly. "This is so stupid! This is all rubbish," she said. Professor Trelawney sighed. "You know, from the moment I saw you, I always new you had no potential for the Inner Eye," she said, trying to keep the annoyance out of her voice. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Whatever…"
Usagi smiled a bit because she felt the same way as Hermione did. Regardless of her thoughts, she peered into the crystal ball. The inside was a swirling white. Usagi stared at it deeply, sighing. It was rather comforting to look at. As the misty white swirled inside, something began to form. She gasped as she looked inside. Professor Trelawney hurried up and looked into it with her. "What do you see?" she asked her eagerly. The whole class was now looking at her. "I see…I see them again," she murmured. Inside, the swirling white mist had formed several shapes, no doubt the people that had been haunting her for a while. She saw the girl in the front, her long hair blowing softly. Usagi kept her eyes on them, and Professor Treelawney did as well. "Usagi…who are they?" she asked her. Usagi frowned. "I don't know who they are," she whispered.
Suddenly, the image disappeared and the crystal ball began to shake. Usagi stood up and backed away, as did everyone else sitting in her row. The globe continued to shake, and then it exploded. Everyone screamed and ducked, shards flying everywhere. After everything became silent, everyone slowly stood up. Luckily, no one was hurt. Usagi stared entranced at the place where the crystal ball had been. Everyone was staring at Usagi, then the place where the crystal had been, and then back at Usagi again.
Needless to say, Divination was cut short. "Usagi-chan…what happened?" Malfoy asked. Usagi looked at him and shrugged. "I really don't know Malfoy," she said to him. "I…I saw…never mind. It's not important," she mumbled. Malfoy frowned. "Tell me." Usagi sighed. "I can't explain it. Just…sometimes, I see these people in my head. Corny, lame, I know. I used to see just these five women, and one of them kinda looked like me. But...recently, I've been seeing four other woman too. It's so weird….I feel as if I've met them before, yet I have no clue who they are. In the crystal ball, I saw them again…" She frowned. "I just don't get it." Malfoy sighed. "Well, they probably have something to do with the past you can't remember," he said, thinking about it as they walked to the knight's portrait. "You know, I think you may be right," she murmured. They sat down at a table in the common room.
"I just want to figure out who they are," she said with a sigh. Malfoy stayed quiet. "It's just…I know they play an important part in my life, but, I just don't know!" Usagi frowned deeply. "Why can't I remember?!" She lowered her head in a depressed manner. She then looked up at him again. "Ne…I have a favor to ask of you," she told him seriously. "Nani?" he asked. "Will you…will you…help me with my Potions homework?" she asked him sheepishly. He sighed in exasperation but nodded.
**
As the days progressed, Usagi, Malfoy, and the rest of the Quidditch team practiced more vigorously in the afternoons. And finally, it arrived-- the day of the Quidditch Match. Usagi hastily changed into her green Quidditch robes, got her Firebolt, and proceeded out. She waited in the sections she had been told to wait in, and stood next to Malfoy. "Nervous?" he asked her. "H-hai," she whispered. Malfoy placed his hand on her shoulder. "Daijoubu," he said in a semi-comforting way. Usagi smiled nervously. "Alright, they're ready for us," said Captain Flint. They all walked out and immediately mounted their brooms, "And now, here's the Slytherin Team!" came the commentator, Lee Jordan's voice. "First time Quidditch player Usagi Tsukino joined the team quite recently as a Chaser. And…fantastic! Amazingly folks, that is a true Firebolt Usagi has, unbelievable! Quite a pity she's on the Slytherin team and not Gryffindor, the Firebolt cannot be beaten…With a built in auto-brake and precision balance-"
"Jordan! Please concern yourself only with the events of the match," Professor McGonagall said. "Alright, alright…And now, here comes the Gryffindor Team!" Applause erupted from fellow Gryffindor members in the stands. "Alright now, captains shake hands," said Madam Hooch, the referee. Flint and Wood stepped forward and briskly shook hands. "Alright, begin!" All at once, everyone kicked off the ground and soared through the air. Usagi kept her eyes on the Quaffle as it was passed around. Alicia Johnson, a Gryffindor keeper, caught the Quaffle and threw it to score. Usagi intercepted it quickly and flew toward the Gryffindor's goal post. She threw it and-
"SCORE from Slytherin!!" shouted Lee Jordan. "Unfortunately for Gryffindor, they won't be able to keep up with the state of the art Firebolt, which by far will definitely be the choice broom at the World Championship, with a clean polish so fine-"
"Jordan," Professor McGonagall began warningly. "Sorry Professor…anyways, score is now Ten-Zero, Slytherin in the lead. Come on Gryffindor!!! If Slytherin wins this match, they will by far almost certainly win the house cup for the first time in two years. The Quaffle passed by Alicia again-WATCH OUT FOR THE BLUDGER!! Ouch! Too late, Angelina of Gryffindor hit hard with a Bludger…Usagi again with the Quaffle, she shoots…SHE SCORES!!" Thundering applauds sounded from the Slytherin crowd.
The game continued with hardly any difficulties, Slytherin leading Forty-Twenty. After a while, Malfoy saw it, the Golden Snitch. He lunged downward for it, and Harry followed. Harry hadn't seen it, but he knew Malfoy must have. Harry dived after him, and still didn't see it, so rather than go after it, he put a great amount of speed into his broom and flew so he was in front of Malfoy. Malfoy jerked abruptly and found to his great anger that he had lost sight of the Golden Snitch. He flew back up into the air and waited for another sighting of it. Harry followed, staying close to Malfoy in case he saw it, but also keeping an eye out himself. Malfoy, annoyed with this flew higher until he was a good 100 to 110 feet from the ground. Harry still followed.
"Go away Potter," Malfoy said, annoyed. "No," Harry said calmly. Malfoy smirked. "Why don't you go back down there to Usagi," he said, pointing his finger down at her. Harry frowned and blushed a little. "Shut up Malfoy," he mumbled. Malfoy laughed. "What's the matter? Does Potter have his first crush? His first little crush that doesn't admire and fawn over him like the rest of the lot?" Malfoy sneered. "Trust me, Usagi-chan would never go for you." Harry frowned. "That's not true…" he said before he could stop himself. Malfoy snickered and flew a circle around Harry. "Oh honestly, Usagi-chan is actually smart enough to tell that your nothing. She doesn't like you. She might even hate you." Malfoy was enjoying this, seeing Harry look crestfallen and hurt. "You're lying," he said coldly.
Malfoy raised an eyebrow. "Am I now? Why do you think she always hangs around me and not you? Sure, we are in the same house, but you two have plenty of opportunities to be together. I mean, we are enemies after all, you and I, so there can only be one side she's on. Mine. Face it, Potter, you'll never have her. All of the fame and glory you get will never get you even an inch closer to her." Malfoy's eyes were glinting with malice now.
Usagi had just scored another goal, which caused erupting applauds once again from the Slytherin crowd. Everyone was paying attention to her and the Quaffle, rather than Harry and Malfoy way up above. Malfoy looked down at Usagi as she smiled brilliantly. A gentle smile crossed his lips. "Kawaii, isn't she? Ever so kawaii…Too bad you won't ever have her. She's mine. As mine as all of the fame and glory is yours." Harry was seething. "No…she's…NOT!!" With that, he lunged forward in an attempt to knock Malfoy off of his broomstick. Malfoy flew to the side and frowned.
"No need to be so jealous, Potter, I'm just simply telling it how it is. It hurts, doesn't it?" Malfoy smirked. "Good. It should. Face the facts, Potter. You can never have her. She is mine…she may not legitimately be mine, but I will make her mine, one way or another…" He smirked. Harry's eyes widened and then narrowed to small slits. He outstretched his arm and sprang forward fast. His arm connected with Malfoy's throat with a dull, sickening cluck. Immediately, Malfoy fell from his broom and began plummeting to the ground.
