SailorChibi: I am SO sorry for the dull chapters I've been giving out lately!

Himeko: It's not your fault you have writers block.

SailorChibi: I KNOW! ~glares at a large gray block in front of her and her yami. On the other side of the door, a door with the word 'Ideas' stamped on it in neon green is visible~

SailorChibi: However, I have a weapon! ~pulls out a large hammer and grins~ Writers block no more! HEE-YAH!!!!!!!!! ~throws herself at the writers block~

Himeko: ~standing in front of the dust cloud that is her hikari and the writers block - sounds of hammering can be heard~ Just so you know, she actually DOESN'T own Harry Potter or Sailor Moon.......

Ginny glanced over at Serena, who was slumped over onto the table in dismay. "Erm.... Serena-chan? You okay?" She asked. A low moan came from the still form. "I'll never do it, Ginny!" Serena moaned. "Five of them? I'll die!"

Ginny sweatdropped and laughed nervously, patting her friend on the back. "No, you won't, Sere." She said comfortingly, or as much as she could because to be truthful, she wasn't feeling too great about having so many non- remembering senshi here either.

"Are you okay, Serena?" Harry asked, worriedly, for he had seen the girl slump over. He had actually become rather good friends with the girl, seeing as how she was in their year and all. Serena had taken to traveling around with them, which was more then okay with Harry, who was developing a slight crush on the girl.

"I'm fine." Serena's muffled voice said as she lifted her head up and propped it on her hands. "I'm just planning on how I'm going to die." Ginny elbowed the other girl as Hermione leaned over, done observing their odd behavior. "Will you all shush? They're sorting the two new girls!"

"Sorry." Ginny, Serena and Harry all obediently chorused as Tomoe, Hotaru was sorted into Slytherin. Needless to say, Serena nearly hit the roof at the fact one of her precious Senshi was going into Slytherin, of all places.

But, she felt better after Rini was sorted there too, although Serena had suspicions the younger girl had threatened the Sorting Hat into sorting her with Hotaru. Ginny thought that was sweet, although Serena would have perferred they be together in a different house, say Gryffindor?

As Michelle Kaioh and Amara Tenoh took their places beside Professor McGonagall, Serena was frowning. "How come Ruka's(1) doing music? I'd've thought for sure she'd be doing some form of physical education" She shivered at the thought of it. "Or some kind of racing class." Ginny started laughing. "I'm sure Amara would've loved that!" She exclaimed.

Serena made a face at her as food appeared in front of them, and they began to eat. Therefore, both Ginny and Serena missed the thoughtful look that appeared on Hermione's face......

************

Harry entered the room with a feeling of curiostiy and mild excitement. He was extremely curious, he had to admit, to see what on earth was going to happen in this new music class. Hogwarts had never had any muggle classes before, aside from Muggle Studies, and he was curious to see what it would be like. The only downside was they had it with Slytherin.

Choosing a table nearest the front, for they were four-seaters and Harry knew without having to guess Hermione would want to be as close to the front as possible, he sat down and set his books beside him. Seeing he was alone, he took the time to look around the room.

The room was done in turquoise and gold. (AN: SailorChibi: ~ smiles~) The walls were painted turquoise, with gold symbols he didn't recognize painted on. The tables and seats were gold, with turquoise trim. Gold lights lit the room. At the front, was a gold-and-turqoise desk.

In one corner, was a variety of instruments Harry recognized, and some he didn't. He had spotted a guitar, a set of drums, a flute, a violin and a trumpet before he heard voices behind him.

Half-turning, he watched Ron, Serena and Hermione entered. Ron and Hermione were aruging and Serena was smiling sadly. When she spotted him, her smile became slightly brighter and she took a seat beside him quickly. Trying to ignore the way his heart thumped when she did, Harry smiled slightly and asked if there was something wrong.

"No, nothing." Serena said, slightly surprised. "Why?" "It's just, when you came in you looked so sad." "Oh, it's just Ron and Hermione's aruging reminded me of the way one of my friends and I used to." "Oh." No more was said, because at that moment the remaining Gryffindors entered, with the Slytherins behind them.

A minute later, thankfully before curses could begin flying between the two rival houses, the two new Professors came in. Hearing a sigh, Harry turned his head and saw Serena slump onto the table, her eyes extremely wistful, but oddly relieved, as she watched the two professors walk to the front of the room.

Once there, the one with turquoise hair spun around. She was dressed in a dark blue robe, that matched her deep blue eyes perfectly. "Hello." She said simply, with a gentle smile. "I am Michelle Kaioh. You may call me Professor Michelle, seeing as how I am not that much older then you all."

She gestured to her right, where the other professor stood. This professor had short, sandy blond hair and forest green eyes. It was almost hard to tell whether the person was male or female. "This is Professor Amara. She plays piano." You could hear the extreme sighs of disappointment from the females, excluding Serena and Hermione, of the class.

Amara and Michelle both grinned at the same time. "Now, class. We will be learning, of course, music in this course. If you cannot play music, for example if you are tone deaf or have had an accident so you can't play, don't think you shall be getting off easily. You will learn the different notes and several other things." Michelle said.

"Now, is there anyone who can play an instrument?" Serena raised her hand. "I can play the flute." She said. "But I normally play with a friend of mine, who plays the harp." Michelle paused. "Well, I suppose the other teachers wouldn't mind if we brought your friend here for a moment." Amara scribbled out a pass and handed it to Serena, who swallowed when their hands made contact, before bolting from the room.

Five Minutes Later

"Serenity Tsukino! You unhand me this instant! What in Selene's name do you think you are doing?!" Ron's jaw dropped as none other then his little sister was pulled into the room, smelling strongly of incence, indicating she'd been in Divination.

Serena pulled Ginny to the front of the room and, taking the proferred harp from Professor Michelle, turned to Ginny, who's mouth was hanging open. Their eyes met, and a sudden pleading filled Serena's. Ginny closed her mouth, and, muttering, snatched the harp out of Serena's hands and took her place.

Serena accepted the flute and stood across from Ginny, waiting. Ginny took out her wand and muttered something under her breath before sitting on air - it was the next best thing to floating by using her wings. Stretching on leg in front of her, Ginny curled the other beneath her and placed the harp on her knee. Then, she looked at Serena.

Placing the flute to her mouth, Serena waited until Michelle nodded before beginning to play, closing her eyes as she did. Ginny mimicked the movement, closing her own eyes and listening close. She quickly recognized the tune from one long ago.

Placing her hands upon the strings, she began to draw her hands across it.

Hearing the beautiful music, Hermione sat up straight. It sounded incredibly familiar to her for some reason. She began to place the music, and almost had where she'd heard it before when it stopped. She frowned and opened her eyes in question. Ginny curtsied, handed the harp back to Michelle and hurried from the room without waiting to hear what it had been thought of.

"That was very good!" Michelle complimented. "Does anyone else know how to play?" No one did, so they were dismissed early. Waiting for Hermione, Serena was stopped by Amara. "Yes, Professor?" "You and your friends are good, kitten." Amara said. Serena's mouth dropped open as Amara started. "Oh, I mean Serena. I'm sorry, all these new names." "S'okay." Serena squeaked.

Grabbing Hermione's arm, she hustled from the room. 'Kitten' had been Amara's nickname for her before they'd lost their memories. "You okay?" Hermione asked her. Serena nodded tightly before, seeing Ginny, whispered a good-bye and took off. Hermione watched her go, ideas beginning to form in her mind.

***********

Hermione sat in the quiet common room, Crookshanks in her lap and not a book, for once. She was staring absently into space as she gently stroked the purring cat. She had the room all to herself, for it was supper time, but she wasn't hungry. She was dressed in a nightdress already, it was pale blue with pale green trim. Her hair was down.

"Oh, Crookshanks." She murmured. "Ever since Serena arrived, I feel I'm missing something. But what could it be? It makes no sense a'toll. I've everything I could need, or as much as I can get. There's no peace of course, but I have friends and family....." She sighed.

There was silence for a few moments more, save the fire's cracking and popping every so often, and Crookshanks' soft but utterly contented purring. Hermione stopped stroking the cat and held her hand up, exmaining it. She just knew she was missing something, but what?

Crookshanks stopped purring and jumped gracefully off of her lap, stretching himself upon the plush carpet before flopping down and rolling over, stretching to get Hermione's attention, which it did. Giggling softly, she knelt beside him and lifted him up.

"You silly cat." She said with a giggle. "What's the matter with you?" Bringing her face close to him, she rubbed their noses together. "I know, you're probably just hungry." Crookshanks purred, but then suddenly cocked his head and squirmed to get down. Surprised, Hermione set him down.

Crookshanks dashed to the door, stratching to get out. The portrait, not happy about being scratched, swung forward. "Crookshanks! Come back!" Hermione called. Gathering her dress in one hand, she ran after the fleeing cat. Crookshanks led her straight to the Great Hall, where he vanished.

"Crookshanks! Crookshanks! Here, kitty kitty kitty!" Hermione called. "Oh, where is he?" She was about to return to the Gryffindor dorm, when crashes and shrieks caught her attention. She sidled to the doors of the Great Hall and, cautiously but curiously, eased them open.

She gasped at the sight. What looked like a giant Teddy Bear was causing havok. In its see-throgh stomach, Hermione saw something gray and white-tipped. In the bear's two arms were the two by now, well-known Senshi Sailor Moon and Sailor Sun. They were crying out with pain.

"Oh!" Hermione gasped, surprised. "Someone must help them!" She whispered. "That's right. And, that someone is you, Hermione." Surprised, Hermione looked around for the voice that had spoken to her. Finding no one, she frowned. "Down here." The voice said. Hermione looked down and saw Crookshanks. "Hello." The cat said calmly.

Hermione shrieked and stumbled backwards. She tripped and fell with a yelp onto her bottom. Crookshanks leapt onto her chest and stared straight into her frightened brown eyes. "B- but you're j-just a c-cat!" Hermione stammered.

"I am not just a cat, I was once Lunar, one of Queen Serenity's advisors. But never mind that, right now you've got to help Sailor Moon and Sailor Sun!" "I can't! I'm just a kid!" "Not if you use this." Stepping off of her, Crookshanks performed a backflip. A blue and green henshin pen fell to the ground.

"With this, you can help Sailor Moon and Sailor Sun. But, you must hurry! I don't think they can last much longer. Take it and yell 'Earth Crystal Power, make-up'. Hurry, please! They are not used to fighting alone!"

Trembling, Hemrione reached down and grasped the pen. She gapsed at the familiar feeling she felt from it. She glanced over her shoulder as Sailor Moon was thrown into a wall. Sailor Sun screamed for her friend before she was squeezed violently.

Hermione nodded to herself. She raised the pen into the air. "Earth Crystal Power, MAKE-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
