Another great batch of positive reviews!!!  I really am crazy.  I'm starting to write this chapter now and do you know what time it is??!!  12:15 am!  I live in Montreal, so maybe you guys don't have the same hour as me… Oh well!!

  Kiyana, to answer your question and I quote: I didn't catch Usagi's age in the first chapter, well, that's because I didn't say it!  Since it's after Sailor Stars, Usagi is 17 years old (HUMAN years old-she's older than this mentally because she's Cosmos.  So that's why she didn't enroll herself in any wizarding school; she knows everything she needs to know.  That doesn't mean the others know that, though…Get my drift? ^_~) Let say that Harry and the gang are also 17. ^_^;  Thank you anyway for pointing that I had forgotten to say their age!

Anyhow!  On with the 3rd chapter!!!

Chapter 3: Conversations

______________________________________________________

  "Well that was embarrassing…"  Muttering to himself in the Gryffindor common room, Harry was debating whether to kill the Weasley boy or not.  At least, something good had come out of this.  For the first time ever, Snape had been completely surprised at something and unable to speak properly.  "It seems that I leave everybody surprised this year..." He mused, while getting ready to go to sleep.

Flashback

  "ARE YOU TOTALLY OUT OF YOUR BLOODY MIND!!!???"

Harry was looking at him like he had grown another head.  Ron really did have well preserved vocal cords.  With that particularly loud roaring, he had stopped all conversations going on and the entire population of the Hall was now looking at them like they were crazy.  That REALLY was an awkward moment.  Ron was now up on his feet, both hands clamped on the table, red as his hair, Harry was there, simply seated, eyes on him, and everyone's eyes were on them.

  "Is there any problem you would like to discuss with the school, Mr. Weasley? Or maybe you only wanted to have house points deducted on your first day?"  Oh yeah… Snape reeeaally was in a foul mood this year…  Malfoy was laughing his head of at the scene they were causing.  'Bloody git…  I wish I could shut him up.'

  "N.NO!!!  I…I mean…"

  "WHAT? Mister Weasley?  Speak!  Or have you forgotten how to talk?"  He was furious…Forget that!  He was about to burst!!!

"Wellsir, Harryjusttoldmeheisengaged!!!!!!!"  Ron blurted out the phrase like he had a tornado on his heels.  So naturally, the potions master did everything to ridicule him even further.  "I didn't get that, Mr. Weasley, I unfortunately do not comprehend blabble talk.  Please repeat that.  Oh! And 5 points from Gryffindor."

  Groaning from the Lion's table could be heard.  And Ron had just about enough.  'Did he really have to repeat it again?'  I was going to die if I stayed here.  So I did the next best thing.  I got up and walked as fast as I could out of the Great Hall.

  "Harry just told me that he is engaged…"  So nicely punctuated too.  Not a sound could be heard.  Except the sputtering and chocking sounds Snape made while he was trying to drink his water.  Fortunately, said Harry was at the Great Hall's doors and had heard those blissful sounds.  'I'll have a hard time showing my face tomorrow but at least it was worth it.'  He had than decided to accelerate his pace before anyone had the time to register his departure.

  End flashback

When his fellow roommates arrived at the dorm, he was already asleep.  Ron only hoped he was going to be in a good mood tomorrow because he was in for one hell of a questioning session!  Lupin had been stoned still, like every other teachers, and the face of Dumbledore!  Ron never thought that eyes could get any bigger than this!  Guess he never saw THAT coming!!!

  'Harry!  Harry!  Wake up!  I made your favorite breakfast!  Harry!'

  "Harry!"

  "Ugh!  Sere! It's too early…"

  "HAAARRRY!  What's a Sere?  Come on!  Wake UUUP!!!"  Whining?  Serenity never whined…  What the hell!?  "Ron!  Dammit!  You just had to wake me up!  I was having such a nice dream too!"  "Yeah, I noticed.  But hurry up!  We're going to be late for breakfast!!!"

  Stares.  So many stares.  I think my patience went out the window this morning.  "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT???"  Oh yeah, that felt good.  Harry was now seated at his table and dread filled his guts.  The teachers were now proceeding to the Gryffindor table and Harry just knew his fate the moment he saw their faces.

  "Mr. Potter?"  That was Dumbledore.  "You do know why we're here, don't you?"  "No.  I haven't got a clue!"  "You can keep your sarcasm for yourself!  Speak properly to the headmaster!"  "Now, now, Severus, no need to blow!"  And a great thank you to this year's DADA professor: Remus Lupin, for stopping the greasy haired bastard before he took away 100 points!

  "So tell me Harry.  Is it true?"

  Wanting to keep it as simply as possible, I responded with a simple "yes."  Why were they looking at me like that?  And why was Albus looking at me with pity in his eyes?  "Is there any problem, headmaster?"  I was getting tired.  Might as well go straight to the point.

  "Harry, don't you think it's a little too early?  And with all that's been going on nowadays, it could be dangerous."  What was the old man's point?  "I don't get it."  Snape just had to open his big mouth.  " Bloody hell, Potter!  She could be a spy for You-Know-Who, for all we know!  And if she's not, she could only want to be with you because you're famous!"

  I think my eyes just got darker.  Anger was bubbling up inside me.  How dare he!  "What."  Low and dangerous.  The teachers took a step back in shock.  Remus pushed Snape away fast and started to rectify his mistake.  He had better hurry too.  Both hands before him, gesturing like he had caught on fire, he started to explain really fast Snape's point of view.

  "Harry!!!  What Severus was trying to say", a quick reprimanding look at said teacher, "Is that maybe you shouldn't start a relationship right now.  With the war coming, it could become dangerous to all you love.  Ye-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named could use them as bait!  You wouldn't want that for her, wouldn't you?  You could at least wait until it's over and we could all meet her together!"

  'That was it?  They…They were scared that she gets captured???!'  Harry's head was bent and his shoulders were shacking.  The teachers took another step back.  Ron was beside the green eyed boy, worry showed in his voice, and a little fear as well.  "Harry! Are you ok?"  I couldn't contain myself anymore.  I burst out laughing my head off.  I was laughing so much that I had tears in my eyes!

  Ron and the other students flinched at the sound.  I guess they were expecting Harry to burst in anger.  Lupin just looked at him like he was getting ready to go to a trip at St Mungo's.  So after he had finally calmed down, he explained himself.  Relief was evident in his voice and he was now smiling again.

  "I really don't think you should worry about her!  If HE thinks he'll be able to get his hands on Sere, well…He's even crazier than I thought!  I mean, the girl has certain 'methods' of defense you can't ignore." What was that?  Oh! I think Malfoy's ears were getting bigger by the second.  'Listen and tell your father all you want, ferret!  It won't do you any good!'  Harry thought, a sly grin plastered on his face.  "And if you want to meet her that badly, well don't worry."  He continued.  "She'll be present at the Hogwarts festivities in 2 weeks.  She's going to come with the Japanese minister, as a representative of Japan, with other aurors."

  It was Hermione who got fast enough to ask the question first. "How old is she?!  She works at the ministry, Harry?!  Doesn't she go to school?"  'She really had to close her mouth.  Really, did they see me dating a 30 years old auror?  Uh Oh! Better answer, everyone's looking at you!'

  "For your information, Herm, she's 17 years old and she doesn't go to school."  Hermione was about to cut me again so I shut her up fast.  "Just let me finish, will ya?  She doesn't go to school because she doesn't need it.  As for the ministry detail, no, she's not an auror and she doesn't work for them.  She refused the minister's offer, actually.  But they call her when they need her.  She accepted to protect the population.  Don't look at me like that!  If you can't bear the idea that someone your age isn't going to school, just ask her how she does it when you see her!"  There! That ought to do it!

  "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Arry!  I can't wait to meet her!  Now, we should all go back to our table everyone!  The breakfast is gettin' cold!"  They looked like they still had a lot of questions and doubts but still, they went back to their seats.  Hagrid smiled at me, a reassuring smile, and went back to sit himself at the teacher's table.  I would have to thank him later.  The big guy really is one of the greatest friends I could ever have.

The rest of the week past by, and by the time, people had stopped gawking at him.  Almost.  He still received curious stares from his fellow classmates and he could clearly see the teachers restraining themselves to lock him up and feed him an unhealthy dose of veritaserum, buuut, they didn't.  They probably thought he was in no danger for the moment, or something along those lines.  Probably didn't want to say something they could regret later either.  'How incredibly wise of them', Harry thought wryly.

He just wanted to see her again.  GOD, he missed her.  Now if the next week could just past by like this one, he would be satisfied
