Once again, I apologize for the shortness of the last chapter, but I wanted to get that one out there… and I didn't have much time to write it.

Ron doesn't know (yet) that Harry and Usagi are twins. I've decided that this is going to be completely relevant to the story… heh heh heh…

Umm… I'm thinking of a title change… suggestions would be nice! And, don't forget my question about what genres this should be!

Princess Selena- might be, might not be, but would you go out with someone who did what Usagi did to Draco? I know I wouldn't.

Nine_79934- Um… I decided I didn't want Oliver there anymore? Dunno, I just wanted to… for a reason that will come up in this chapter. Yeah, I'll probably get into more detail with the fourth book… like I said before, the second book (except for the ending) was almost completely irrelevant to the story, and I don't have a huge amount of spare time.

Firefly-chan- I'll probably be going for the random person one… I was considering Ron, but I like him with Hermione too much ;-) Glad you liked the song… I only put the translation in so everyone would know what the birds were called… the rest of it was kinda stupid in English.

Kawaii Tenshi- I didn't want them to have a last kiss. That way she'd be even sadder. K, sorry, I have a really twisted mind… I'm not telling you who, because I'm not sure yet. She might stay single for a while… I've gotten one or two other people who've said they read them.

Bunni V- Umm… the whole story. I know it was short, but there wasn't anything else I wanted to add in that particular chapter. I'm glad it makes you really happy!

Jordan- Umm… nope, not yet. Oops, better make a big announcement at the top… thanks for reminding me! Ooo and you gave me a REALLY good idea ::grins evilly:: THANKS!

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

Ron stared at Usagi… she looked so sad. His gaze shifted over to Harry, and he thought Harry really needs to get his mind off Black… and an idea came to his mind. It's perfect, he thought, grinning. He'd have to do it on his own. Hermione would never approve, and she was the only other one he could think of that he would have help. {A/N: little did he know, this plan would be… erm… never mind, I'll let you find out ^.^}

Just then, before he could fully formulate his plan, Fred and George made an announcement, "EHEM!"

"Attention please!" Fred said.

"We, Gred and Forge," there were a few titters at this, "Would like to remind everyone that the position of Keeper is still open, due to events out of our hands…" George began.

"And so, if you are interested in playing Keeper, we'll be out at the Quidditch Pitch," Fred finished with a wink.

The two headed out, and were joined by Harry, Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell, and Angelina Johnson. {A/N: Go me! I remembered all their names, and know for a fact they're right!} A small silence followed as everyone contemplated whether they were up to playing Keeper or not, and all but one person decided against it. The boy who stood was a fifth year, and a very shy one at that.

After he left, everyone resumed talking, and didn't notice Usagi slip out as well. She flew to the Quidditch Pitch, her feet barely touching the ground she was going so fast. She knew that Oliver had been preparing for her to take over when he left Hogwarts, and that this is what she had to do.

She saw the Gryffindor team huddled on the other side of the pitch, and after taking a quick detour to the broom shed to snatch up Oliver's broom, she joined them. The others stared at her in a surprised silence as they noticed that she had Oliver's broom, and was the one who wanted to try being Keeper.

"Is anyone else coming?" Harry asked his (recently discovered) twin, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"I think a fifth year is," Usagi said after she recovered her breath. "I saw him leave before I came…" and sure enough, the boy came striding across the Quidditch Pitch, broomstick in hand.

"So," said Fred, "How should we do this, George?"

"How about we try them one at a time," George said.

Fred sighed in exasperation, and said, "I MEANT, how should we try them?"

"OH!" said George. "How about we enchant a few Quaffles and let them try to stop them?"

"Good," said Fred, in a way that clearly showed they'd thought this out before.

"Who first?" George asked, looking at Usagi and the fifth year. {A/N: he doesn't have a name yet.}

"You," said Fred, pointing to the boy. Usagi watched in open admiration as the boy pulled off several great saves, but knew that she could stop the balls that he let by. "That's enough!" said Fred.

"Get up here, Usagi!" George called to her from his high vantage point. Usagi clambered onto her broom and took the boy's place. The Quaffles started zooming at the hoops, and Usagi pulled off as many great saves as the boy had. She also made more. Not a single ball got past her, and she was guarding the goal posts for twice as long as the boy had.

Fred and George exchanged a knowing look before they announced in unison, "You'll know by the end of the week if you made it," to Usagi and the boy.

As the two walked back to the broom shed, Usagi turned to the boy and said, "You did really well! I'd bet you made it." She knew that she'd done better, but they might also want and older and larger Keeper.

The boy smiled wistfully and said simply, "Not a chance," before returning to the castle.

"Usagi!" said Harry, running up to her. "That was excellent! Where'd you learn to play like that?"

"Oliver," she said quietly. "During lunch times last year."

"That explains it, then. I think Fred and George are going to use you. They were really impressed."

"Yeah…" said Usagi, her mind wandering up to the hidden room in the castle. Harry walked beside her, and didn't even break away when they passed the passage they'd have to take to the common room. He knew, by some type of twin telepathy, that she wanted to go to the room, and wanted to have company.

Usagi cast out her senses as they entered the room, and something appeared in the corner.

Harry jumped, then said, "I wish you'd stop doing that! It's creepy."

"You could do it too, if you tried. Just cast out your senses."

Harry did, and almost immediately found something. Why wasn't Usagi able to find this? he thought to himself, walking over and fingering the silver framed mirror that appeared.

Because it's yours, a woman's voice thought in his head. It sounded a bit like Usagi's, but it couldn't be!

Mom… Queen Serenity? he thought back.

Yes… you should try to cast out your senses more, and you will discover more.

He knew that the voice wouldn't be back, and as he prepared to cast out his sense again, Usagi shrieked, "Oh, wow! Harry, look at this! It's excellent."

Harry looked up, and saw her holding a broom. It reminded him of a Firebolt, but it was… different. It was as finely made as a Firebolt, but its handle was a lighter brown, the tail darker.

"It was Mom's," she said, her eyes meeting his. She handed him the note that had been with it.

Princess-

This was my old MoonRocket. I used it when I played Keeper on my Quidditch team. I bequeath it to you, darling, and hope that you will make me proud. It is one of a kind, and I know (but I may not tell you yet how) that no broom will ever surpass it.

Queen Serenity

"A MoonRocket?" Harry said in wonderment, "I'd thought that that was just another Hogwarts myth!"

"Well, now it's a reality!" Usagi said in excitement. "I'm going to bring it back with me," she added decidedly. She'd only held onto a precious few objects from this room, her mother's diary included.

As she sat examining the broomstick, Harry cast out his senses again, and discovered several things. As he walked over to a door that had appeared, Usagi said without looking up, "I told you you could do it if you tried." She was beside him in seconds, and added in a whisper, "Why didn't I find this?" Harry didn't answer, only opened the door. It led into another room, this one with a blue four-poster in it, and only a couple chairs. Both Harry and Usagi cast out their senses, and huge shelves filled with books appeared.

"It's mine," Harry said as an answer to Usagi's previous question. "Our mother told me." Usagi nodded, accepting his answer, and gazed at the books with a hungry look in her eyes. "Let's read," Harry said. "I can teach you a charm to take in the book faster, if you like. You only have to open the book, and all of it will just appear in your head, so you'll have the knowledge if you want it."

"That would be wonderful! Then it wouldn't take so long to read."

Harry told her what to say, and how to wave her wand. "It only lasts for an hour, so you'll have to renew it after that."

"Where'd you learn it?" Usagi queried in wonderment.

"Where'd you learn that song charm?" Harry countered. Usagi smiled, and cast the charm. Then they sat down to 'read'.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Ron sat in a chair, impatiently tapping the arm. "Where are they?" he asked Hermione. He wanted to get his plan under way, but he couldn't without the two main people.

"Probably in the room," Hermione suggested. "I'll go look."

Before Ron could protest, Hermione had left the common room. Ron turned to Fred and George, who actually seemed to be involved in a serious conversation.

"What're you two talking about?" Ron demanded.

"Who we're going to use for Keeper," the twins replied together.

"It's not that hard. You only had one person go for it," Ron snapped.

"No," said Fred glancing at George.

"We had two," George finished.

"Who was the other? I saw Darrel Hartshod go…"

"Usagi," the twins replied at the same time.

"So what's so hard? Use Darrel. We know he's good. Remember that time he had to fill in for Wood?"

"Well, we charmed some Quaffels, and it turned out that Usagi was a LOT better than Darrel. She stopped all the Quaffels that were sent at her, and she played twice as long as Darrel did. Darrel only stopped about half of them," Fred explained.

"So then use Usagi, if she's better," Ron said.

"Well, we don't know how she'd do in a real game. We know Darrel can do all right, and he has experience, but Usagi doesn't," George stated reasonably.

"It is so bizarre to see you two speaking reasonably and seriously," Ron said, shaking his head. "I still say go for Usagi. A real game can't be too much different, can it?"

The twins shrugged, and continued their conversation. They knew that they wanted to use Usagi. They were just discussing if she could handle it emotionally. It had been, after all, Wood's old position.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

The decision was made on Thursday afternoon: Usagi would be the new Gryffindor Keeper. The announcement wasn't made until lunchtime the next day, though, but it was still enough time to plan a party for her. Ron had revised his plan, finding it much easier with the party.

"What are you grinning about?" Harry said to Ron as he chuckled about his plan.

"Nothing," Ron said, his ears going red.

"Nothing my eye," Harry muttered, but didn't bother Ron any further.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

Usagi sighed. Ron had sent her to go get some plates from the store cupboard in the Entrance Hall for the party, but Usagi hadn't wanted to go. Ron had insisted, though, so she agreed to get him off her back.

As she walked into the cupboard, the door slammed shut and the lock clicked. She distinctly hear Ron's rather muffled chuckle, and almost jumped out of her skin when Harry said, "Did you get sent for cups, too?"

"Plates," Usagi corrected. Both were trying hard not to laugh. They knew Ron was outside the door, thinking that he could get them to be an item just by locking them in a closet.

"He doesn't know we're twins," Harry said quietly, biting his finger to stop a laugh.

After ten minutes, Usagi called to Ron, "Ron, can you let us out now?"

Ron's rather embarrassed voice came through, and said apologetically, "Not until you kiss."

Harry and Usagi exchanged a glance, and Usagi said, "Ron, did you know that Harry and I are twins?"

The lock clicked, the door swung open, and Ron stood before them, gaping. "WHAT? HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN?"

"Since Easter last year," Harry said, at the same time that Usagi was saying, "During the big feast at the end of the year."

"You could've told me!" Ron said heatedly. He turned away, muttering, "This is so embarrassing."

Usagi and Harry just burst into gales of laughter, causing Ron's ears to go even redder.

"Let's just get to the party," Usagi said, gasping for breath.

Ron didn't reply, and walked the whole way up to the dormitory in an angry silence.

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

Well, NOW Ron knows :-) I'm really sorry if there are any major Ron-lovers out there who don't want to see him embarrassed, but I thought it was kinda funny.

Oh, and in case you didn't figure it out, Fred and George are co-captains on the Quidditch team (by an unmentioned vote by the rest of the players).

Review, please!
