Star-chan: I'm BACK!! It's just me. Hime-dono is torturing Neko, took
Remmy away to get me to update, and I can't find Hart. Sorry I was gone
for so long, I really meant to update earlier, but I got lazy.
DISCLAIMER:
Star-chan: I don't own any of the characters. I just own the plot. And the Anahoriases.

Screams echoed through Diagon Alley as Death Eaters stormed through the gates. Several people went running for the nearest store to hide in. At first, the Hogwarts trio was unsure of what was happening. But when Harry doubled over, clutching his scar, they were quick to realize what was happening. Quickly, Ron and Hermione shoved Harry under the table, motioning for Serena and Hotaru to do the same. They obeyed, moving quietly and keeping near the edge so they could look out from under the white tablecloths.
Serena and Hotaru knew not to transform unless they absolutely had to. Serena held her breath, hoping one of the scouts were nearby.
*~*
Venus was right on the masked men's tails, waiting for the others to arrive. 'Get here soon, *please* get here soon. . .'
She took a quick count of how many Death Eaters were there. She counted around six, not including Voldemort. They seemed to be just standing there, watching people run in fear, and a few men and women stood with their with their wands pointed at the group.
"Artemis, try to get close enough to hear what they're saying," she ordered quietly, ignoring the cat's sputter of fear. "Now."
Artemis muttered, and crouching low, slunk over to where Voldemort stood.
*~*
Voldemort's lipless mouth curved into a sneer as he watched wizards run from him in fear. "Remember," he hissed to his followers that had accompanied him. "Harm no one but Anahorias. If we are so lucky to find the boy who lived"-his sneer widened "-bring him to me."
The Death Eaters murmured their agreement, and awaited the order to move out. So preoccupied they were that no one noticed the white cat sulking in the shadows.
Voldemort waited until the people had all cornered themselves in stores before he nodded his head for his followers to search the alley.
*~*
While Artemis had been spying, re-enforcements had arrived. Jupiter cracked her knuckles quietly.
"When can we kick his butt?" she whispered eagerly. "Now?"
"No." Sailor Neptune had Sailor Uranus's shoulder in a tight grip to keep her from attacking. "We need to hear Artemis's report first."
Sailor Jupiter scowled. 'Artemis better hurry up,' she thought angrily.
Just as she thought it, Artemis started to sneak back to the group. "They've got one target, a man named Anahorias. Or Harry, which ever one they find first."
"*Now* can we kick his butt?"
Venus nodded.
*~*
Harry started as a thunderclap echoed through the alley. To his right, he felt Hermione jump slightly. "Is it raining now, too?" she asked, not daring to look out to check.
Just because she didn't, that doesn't mean Ron did. Without thinking, the red head stuck out his head to look at the sky. Hotaru grabbed his collar and pulled him back under the table. "Do you *want* to get killed?" she hissed.
Serena said quietly, "Hotaru, calm down." The dark haired girl breathed deeply.
"Sorry," she said shortly. Ron opened his mouth to reply, but was cut of by the ground trembling violently. Hermione shrieked slightly and clutched Harry's arm. A few seconds later, the sudden earthquake stopped, but the five teens could still not move from their hiding spot.
There was much shouting and confusing noise from outside. Daring a peek, Harry saw several Death Eaters battling. . . somebody, he couldn't see who. Voldemort was nowhere to be seen. A stray curse nearly blasted the table, and Harry quickly retreated.
Hermione was babbling about how it was impossible for an earthquake to happen in London, Hotaru and Serena were doing their best to try calm Hermione, who was starting to get hysterical. Harry was quick to join, wrapping an arm around the shaking bookworm.
Ron had a thoughtful look on his face. "What next?" he wondered out loud. "A fire? A cyclone, maybe?" A sudden wave of water swept under the table, soaking everyone.
"Apparently, a flood," Hotaru said, spitting out a mouthful of water, "of salt water."
Harry heard cheering, and again looked out. People were streaming out of the shops, yelling with joy as the remaining Death Eaters were arrested by the newly arrived Hit Wizards and Aurors. Medi-wizards were kneeling next to a few people, but there seemed to be no serious injuries.
He climbed from underneath the table, shortly followed by the others. "Come on," he said, leading them toward the entrance. "Let's get to the Leaky Caldron before reporters get here."
Serena looked up at a rooftop, carrying the soaked and unhappy Luna, and saw Sailor Venus, winking at her. Serena smiled and followed the others to the pub.
*~*
At the pub, Mrs. Weasley, who immediately dried off the soaking teens, intercepted them. A brief introduction and a mug of hot chocolate later, Mrs. Granger appeared to pick up the girls.
