Chapter 7
Spatial Activity.
The drive to kings cross began with Aunt Petunia having to bribe her son to sit next to Usagi and Harry. When they arrived at the station, Uncle Vernon surprised them by ordering Dudley to help him take the trunks onto the platform.
"Well," Uncle Vernon said self-importantly. "Here you are. There's platform nine, and look! There's platform ten!"
"Where's Harry's platform dad?" Dudley asked his father.
"Well, son," He began. "Harry and Usagi's platform is nine and three quarters."
"There's no such thing!" Dudley said, sounding very much like his father in his long jacket, hiding his tail.
"Oh! Don't be too hasty, son. Maybe they just haven't built it yet!"
Harry and Usagi watched as Mister Vernon Dursley and Master Dudley Dursley, laughed animatedly as they got into the car and drove away.
"Maybe he's right. It's not here." Usagi said, absently stroking Luna in her fear. "I wish Ami were here. She'd find it in an instant."
"Yes, well, unfortunately, you chose not to let anyone know you were leaving." Luna commented. "Harry. Why don't you ask someone how to get to our platform? We can't be the only ones going to Hogwarts."
"I don't know. Every year, this place seems to attract more and more muggles." A stout redheaded woman said as she led four boys and a girl, all with the same fire-red hair, along the platform.
"I think we should follow her." Harry said as the family walked past. Harry and Usagi pushed their trolleys along behind them. The family stopped beside one of the archways between platforms nine and ten.
"Can't I go, mum?" The girl pleaded.
"No dear," The woman answered. "You're too young. Right Percy, you first."
The oldest-looking boy walked towards the barrier, his cage perched on top of his trunk. Harry and Usagi tried to watch what happened, but a group of people inconveniently chose that moment to pass between them.
"Right George," The woman said.
"I'm not George, I'm Fred!" One of the twins said indignantly.
"Honestly! And you call yourself our mother!" The other twin said, equally indignant.
"Oh! Sorry Fred."
"That's okay, I really am George." The first said as he ran at the barrier. Harry, Usagi and Luna watched in disbelief as he disappeared through the barrier, followed closely by his twin.
Harry took a deep breath and walked up to the woman. "Excuse me,"
The woman turned to face Harry, with Usagi close behind him. "Yes dear?"
"Can you. I, er. we, er."
"Is this your first year at Hogwarts, dears?" She asked. They nodded. "That's okay, it's Ron's first year too." The woman said, indicating a tall gangly boy with a spattering of freckles over his nose, and a head of fiery red hair.
Suddenly, Usagi felt the Negaverse approaching, and immediately started looking for a place to transform.
"All you have to do is walk through the barrier. Don't be afraid, that's very important. Best to do it at a bit of a run if you're unsure." The woman explained.
"Anno. excuse me, but could you tell me where the bathroom is?" Usagi asked worriedly. Harry looked over at her, and recognized the expression from the Leaky Cauldron, a month ago.
"You can go to the bathroom on the train, dear. It's leaving in ten minutes."
"Go" Harry said. "I'll tell the driver there was a small emergency."
"No dear, you can't-"
She really had better go." Harry persisted.
Just then a whirlwind passed its way through the crowd. Usagi used the chance to slip into an empty control booth and transform.
"Where is she?!" a female voice demanded as Sailor Moon stepped out of the booth.
"Looking for me?" Sailor Moon asked lazily as she leaned casually on the booth.
"Have you changed your mind?" Lioness asked venomously.
"Nope!" She said as she dropped into a fighting stance.
Lioness shrugged. "Have it your way." She pulled out the little black box and-
"Petrificus totalus!" The red-headed woman cried out. Lioness swatted away the silver streamers which had shot from the woman's wand.
"I hate insects" Lioness muttered as she extracted a pinch of powder from the box and threw it at the woman.
Ron jumped at his mother, pushing her out the way. The powder dusted him before he could get away. The red-headed boy was engulfed in a cloud of smoke. Harry and Sailor Moon ran to the woman's side.
"Are you okay?" Sailor Moon asked as she helped her to her feet.
"Yes. But Ron." The woman said, swaying slightly.
Sailor Moon glanced up at Harry. "I'll take care of Ron; you take care of his mother and sister."
"Deal." He said as he started leading Ron's mother away. Harry turned back for a second. "Usagi?"
She turned to him. "The name's Sailor Moon."
Harry smiled. "Be careful."
"Always"
Sailor Moon faced off against the creature Ron would become and waited for the smoke to clear. When it did, there was a fiery mass in the form of a boy.
"I'm Inferno. Give me the Crystal." He demanded.
"How original." She drawled as she leapt at him. "Cosmic Punch!"
Sailor Moon's arm was instantly encased in pink energy. She drove it towards his face with enough force to obliterate an elephant. However, when it was just centimeters away, she felt her hand stop. After a moment, a severe heat started to burn her hand, despite the protective power. Sailor Moon screamed in pain as she fought to free her fist. Finally, Inferno threw Sailor Moon into the air, and then kicked her into a mass of screaming muggles who had been heading for the exits as soon as Lioness has appeared. The crowd finally dissipated, and Sailor Moon uncovered her head just in time to see Inferno's flaming foot fly towards her.
Harry watched helplessly from a distance as Sailor Moon fought the kid.
"Who is she?" The woman leaning on Harry's shoulder asked.
"A friend." Harry said in a fearful voice. "She calls herself Sailor Moon. She saved me once when a monster tried to attack me in the Leaky Cauldron."
"I heard about that. My husband, Mr. Weasley, works for the Ministry of Magic. Ginny! Back here. Now!" Mrs. Weasley said, calling her daughter back to her side as they watched Inferno beat the living snot out of Sailor Moon, wishing dearly that they could help. "Who, or what, is the.thing. she is fighting now?"
Harry wondered if he should tell her, and then nearly at the same moment, decided she had a right to know. "That's your son Ron, Mrs. Weasley." The stout woman gasped and leaned more heavily on Harry's shoulder.
"Lioness used some type of powder," Harry continued. "To turn you into a monster. Ron took the hit for you."
"My poor, brave baby!" Mrs. Weasley whispered.
"Don't worry. Sailor Moon will get him back to you. You just wait and see." Harry reassured her. Even though he was more certain that Inferno would more likely kill her before she got the chance.
Sailor Moon just managed to jump out the way just as another fist connected with the ground where her face had been a second ago. *What can I do? What can I do? * She chanted to herself as she nursed a badly burnt arm. She looked down for a moment, and a black streak landed on her chest, forcing her to step back. Inferno's foot barely missed her.
"Concentrate!" Luna cried as she dug her claws into Sailor Moon.
"Thanks Luna." She said as Inferno stopped for a moment. Sailor Moon tried to clear her mind. A thought floated into her mind, and she knew what she had to do.
Sailor Moon placed her heels together, and brought her hands together above her head. She conveyed a circle with her outstretched arm. "Celestial." She lifted the imaginary circle into the air. And slowly at first, then faster, a black sphere dotted with many stars formed. "Space." Sailor Moon pulled the sphere back behind her. "Vacuum!!" She threw the sphere at Inferno, and panted as she watched the flames nearly extinguish in the air-less orb.
Sailor Moon raised her hand, as the Space Orb dissipated. "Crystal Heart. Affirmation!!" The small crystal hearts flew past him, and then circled back to encase Inferno in a crystal chrysalis. After a moment, the crystal melted, and Ron collapsed in exhaustion.
Sailor Moon fell to her knees. And Mrs. Weasley, along with Ron's sister, ran to her son's side as Harry ran to Sailor Moon's.
"Is she okay?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"I don't know." Harry said. "She's hurt pretty bad."
The crystal started to glow. As Sailor Moon's body was being covered in a pink light, Harry placed her body on the ground, and stepped away. The light spread from head to toe, covering her completely. The crystal's light hardened, and then melted; revealing a lightly dozing Usagi. Harry ran back to her and picked her up once more.
"Is Ron okay?" Harry asked.
"Yes. He's fine. Thank you." Mrs. Weasley sighed.
Usagi climbed to her feet carefully and leaning on Harry, watched as a great horny owl flew into the station. It dropped a letter into Mrs. Weasley's waiting hands, and then flew back outside. Mrs. Weasley read the letter, and then gave a sigh of relief.
"The ministry is sending a clean up crew; they'll be here in a moment. The train is waiting for us." She explained.
"Ohmygod!" a voice exclaimed. Through the barrier a tall man ran to them, with such bright red hair, that Usagi had no problem connecting him as Ron's father. "Is everyone okay?! What happened?!"
Mrs. Weasley explained what had happened. And just when she finished, Ron and Usagi started to regain consciousness.
"Oh! Mama! It's too early to go to school!" Usagi whined as she opened her eyes. "Oh! Hello!"
Harry laughed as he punched her lightly on the arm. "Don't you ever go fighting fiery boys again!" He sobered up. "I thought we were going to loose you for a while."
"Such confidence!" Usagi sighed dramatically.
Luna strode up to Usagi and climbed on her shoulder. "I don't know how she does it, but no matter how hard things are before-hand, she has a knack for getting out of a tight spot."
The Weasleys stared at Luna for a long time. "It talks!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I am going to get fed up with that very fast." Luna sighed. "You did well, Usagi-chan."
Usagi smiled at her feline guardian "Oh! How rude of me! I am named Usagi Tsukino. This is my cat, Luna-"
"I'm pleased to meet you." Luna bowed.
"This is Harry Potter-"
"The Harry Potter?" Ginny asked, bouncing up and down. "I met the real Harry Potter! Can I see the scar?"
"Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley scolded.
"It's okay." Harry said, showing them the scar.
"Wicked!" Ron exclaimed as he sat up.
Harry's owl hooted, disgruntled. Usagi laughed. "And this is Harry's owl, Hedwig."
"I am Molly Weasley. This is my husband, Arthur," Mrs. Weasley began.
"An honor!"
"And My two youngest; Ron and Gunny."
"Hey!" Ron greeted.
"Come on kids, I have to get you three to Hogwarts. The ministry is willing to wait until later to talk with you."
"'Kay dad." Ron said as his mother helped him up. Harry and Usagi followed the Weasleys. Three more men came through the barrier, retrieved their trolleys, and then passed back through the barrier.
"Usagi?"
"Yes Ginny?" Usagi asked as they stood before the barrier.
"How can I get powers like yours? You're really strong. Stronger than my parents."
Usagi gave a sad laugh. "Believe me, you don't want my powers. I have someone trying to kill me, steal from me, or take over the planet, every other week."
Ginny stared at her in disbelief. "Are you kidding? You can do magic without a wand!"
"Come on, Ginny! Give her a rest! She just saved my life." Ron said. He ran at the barrier, disappearing in an instant.
"I'll help you." Ginny offered. "I remember the first time I went through. I was so scared, but it's easy." She grabbed their free hands and walked backwards through the wall.
Everything went black for a moment, and then light hit their eyes as though a blindfold had been removed. Harry and Usagi blinked their eyes a few times, and a long red steam engine came into focus. The pair gazed upwards.
"Hogwarts Express" Harry read aloud.
