The Surprise
"So Professor McGonnagal, what subject do you teach?" Usagi asked trying to make conversation. "I teach transfiguration. Do you know how to do much transfiguration, Usagi?" Professor McGonnagal asked. "Well, I started off with turning a hedgehog into a pin cushion, but now I know how to do things such as turning a turtle into a teapot." Usagi said nervously. Professor McGonnagal stopped. "You already know how to do that?" she asked. "Why yes ma'am, I do." "Who taught you?" she asked. "Well, I taught myself." "I have never heard anyone who ever got as advanced as you are while teaching themselves," Professor McGonnagal admitted. "I think you'll do very well here, Usagi." Usagi smiled feeling slightly better. When they got to the hall Usagi gasped. All of her friends were standing there smiling at her. "Guys, what are you doing here?" Usagi asked. "They invited us to come to the school to learn magic too," Raye said. "Yeah, they thought it would make you feel more at home," Minako said happily. With that Professor McGonnagal lead the five girls into the Great Hall. Everyone stopped talking as they entered the room. Minako seemed happy at all the attention she was getting. Raye was called to the old hat first. "Hino, Raye," Professor McGonnagal called. Raye walked up to the stool and the hat was placed on her head. After a couple of moments, the hat called out "Slytherin!" Raye then smiled back at the others and went to take her seat at the Slytherin table. Her new housemates cheered and welcomed her with lots of applause. Next Ami was called to the stool. "Ravenclaw!" the hat shouted. Next was Makoto. She went and sat down on the stool. "Ravenclaw!" the hat shouted. Minako's name was then called. She gracefully walked up to the stool. She flicked her hair and then the hat was put on her head. "Gryffindor!" the hat shouted. Minako happily walked over to the table to greet the many cheering students. Usagi was last. She nervously went up to the stool and sat down. After many intense moments of silence the hat finally called out, "Gryffindor!" Usagi happily went over and took a seat beside Mina who was sitting next to Harry. When she got there she waved at Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Dumbledore then stood up and started to speak. "I am very pleased that we have five new foreign students with us this year. I hope that you will make them feel welcome. They are all going to be in their 5th. Maybe they may even teach you a thing or two about Japan. Now, let the feast begin!" The plates in the middle of the tables all became magically filled with food. Usagi was amazed. She then went and decided to eat. After the feast a boy who looked about seventeen led all of the Gryffindors up many stairwells. Finally they came to a large painting of a fat woman in a pink dress. "Password," she said. "Fairy lights," said the boy. The portrait swung open to reveal a tunnel leading into a large room. The room had a fire and many chairs to sit in. "This is the common room," the boy explained. "This is where you may study, socialize, and just hang out. The spiral staircase to your left is the boy's dormitory, and the one to the right is the girl's dormitory. You will see that all of your belongings have been brought up to your rooms already. Now everyone get to bed, you have classes in the morning." With that the boy left to the upstairs dormitory. "Oh my god, isn't this amazing, Usagi?" Minako said in Japanese. "Yeah, it is. I can't believe you guys are actually here," Usagi replied in Japanese. "What are you guys saying?" Harry asked them. "We were just saying how wonderful it is here," Mina said. "Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow then. I'll help you guys around. I've been here for five years and I still find things that I didn't know about," Harry said laughing. "Well, it's always good to have a guide," Usagi replied. "See you at breakfast Harry. He smiled and started up the spiral staircase to his dormitory. Minako then started speaking to Usagi in Japanese again. "Oh my god, Usagi, he was so hitting on you!" Minako said excitedly. "No he wasn't, he was just being nice," Usagi answered. "Whatever," Minako said smiling. She winked at Usagi. "Hey guys, we should be going to sleep. We have classes tomorrow." It was Hermione. "Oh, Minako, this is Hermione Granger. Hermione, this is Minako Aino." "Nice to meet you," Minako said in Japanese. "What?" Hermione asked confused. "Oh, sorry," Minako apologized. "It's good to meet you." This time she said it in English. "Oh, it's good to meet you too." With that the girls walked up the to their spiral staircase. There were five girls staying in the 5th year dormitory. There was Usagi, Minako, Hermione, and two girls named Lavender and Parvati. Usagi then went to sleep feeling very excited about the next day.
