A/N: Hey Hoo!! How is everybody? I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. This chapter is basically filling you in from the time jump from the Japanese gang's sorting to their sixth year in magical training, and is very important. Enjoy!
Over the Years
Over the next few years a lot of things happened and changed. First of all, Dumbledore put a charm on Ryoga to help him get around. It didn't help much, but some. Relationships and friendships grew and flourished. Ranma and Akane became good friends with the famous Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ryoga and Ukyo befriended Draco Malfoy. And Nabiki became good friends with Cho Chang. As for relationships, well there are a few budding romances and unpredictable crushes. Ron and Hermione began going out at the end of their fourth year. Ranma and Akane started to like each other but didn't realize it. Ryoga still liked Akane. Harry still had a crush on Cho and Ginny blushed whenever she talked to or saw Harry. Nabiki was known throughout the school as the extortionist, and Fred liked that about her. While they were still there, George created some feelings for the ever gentle and patient Kasumi.
Nabiki loved Professor Lockheart, for their morals were about the same and they both wanted to make lots of money. Snape favored Ryoga and Ukyo because they were Draco's Friends, and he loved Kodachi because of her previous knowledge of potions and solutions. Everyone disliked McGonagall because she was so strict about the rules. And lastly, Ranma was terrified of Ms. Norris because she was a cat. (Duh)
As they continued their year at Hogwarts, the basilisk started petrifying people right and left, including Ryoga, Nabiki and Kuno (who had, one minute before, been boasting about how he could kill it with one hand tied behind his back.).
In their Fourth year, Kodachi was positive she would be able to win the Tri Wizard Tournament. She tried everything imaginable to get beyond the age barrier, but nothing worked. Ryoga tried to find the goblet in the middle of the night, but ended up getting lost in the labyrinth in front of the Slyterin common room for two days. Mousse also wanted to be in the tournament to prove himself worthy for Shampoo, but he couldn't even find the goblet.
Nothing happened in their fifth year because Voldemort was gaining strength from his revival for their sixth year, and he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
After George and Fred graduated, they made their dream come true and opened a joke shop in Hogmead that soon became very popular with the Gryffindors. Kasumi went back to Japan to start a new life. Every summer they went back to their homelands of either China or Japan to visit with their families and…train.
The summer between Ranma's fifth and sixth years were full of adventures. He and his father took a little training trip in China to Jusenkyo, training ground of cursed springs. Some pretty bad things happened there. (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) When they got back to Japan, Genma informed Ranma that he and Akane were now affianced. Then Shampoo came along and found a husband for herself, which was a total surprise. Then there is P-Chan, a cute little pig whom Akane just loves (and Ranma hates).
This story takes place in Ranma's sixth year of magical training.
