I guess I'll say sorry for the author's notes last chapter, but I have to blame it on The Series of Unfortunate Events. Lemony Snicket writes in the oddest way imaginable, and I'm afraid his style reflected quite a bit on my last chapter (as far as the A/Ns went). So I am sorry if it upset you, truly! Erm, well, here's the responses and then the fic!

Oh, and I apologize ahead of time for any fluffiness! There shouldn't be much, but we'll see…

Firefly-chan- Thanks, and I do know ;-D I've always wondered why JK doesn't have them sliding down the railings or running around in their pajamas… sounds like fun… I think I'll go to boarding school just so I can do that! I've always wanted to do so much at school, but my parents would kill me if I got a detention… ::sigh:: oh well…

Bunni V- Thanks! Y'know, I kinda realized that, but look up there ^ for a detailed explanation… I felt I had to describe the card games, because not many Americans know how to play Wist, and I don't know who knows how to play BS… it's pretty popular where I am.

Little One- kay then! Thanks! And I have to agree with Day dream…

Day dream- she probably has… I made a list of words describing myself, and there were normal things like "hyper" and "hazardous" and "smart" (ß I had to put that one) but then there were things like "insane", "crazy", "barmy", "nutty"… y'know, all the words that mean out of your mind. Thanks!

Siren- ::bows:: merci, merci… I will write more, and you will eventually find out where Kelly fits in… she better start fitting in soon is all I know…

Sailorartemis2000-yep, you did promise! Thank you… hehe that almost sounds like "the U.S.A. all the way!" not "Lee/Usa all the way!" Kay, sorry, I'm just a deranged psychopathic pyromaniac… no need to listen to me…

Jessica Black- Thank you.

Daisy- I GETS IT! I GETS IT! WOO HOO! Sorry…that sounds like a cool game! Thank you, and BS is the best…

Hyper Princess- Thanks, I can, and I will.

Crazygurl70- thank you! Usa and Kel Z are the bomb! Hehehee no they are not A bomb, they're just cool… sorry, I've been taking things way to literally lately, and it can make me impossible to talk to. Read Lily and James, Rudolph style to see just how crazy it can get… and that's not even half as bad as real life ;-)

Sailor Capricorn- I used to use neopets… I stopped when I got in trouble for signing up for stuff to get necessary items, though… it's also called 'I doubt it'. hehee he had a very… interesting meaning… wine and vegetation is an interesting combo, isn't it? One of my nicknames is Milka… just because I had a friend over while we were going through the book. She seemed to like it, and is calling me that. It really depends on the comp. for making paragraphs… it works on my grandparent's computer. I'm honored that you have reviewed three times (if that's more than usual).

The card game Spoons is simple. Each player is dealt four cards, and then the dealer begins to pick up cards from the rest of them. You always pick up one, put one down. The first person with four of the same number can grab a spoon (or whatever object is in the middle) and then the rest is a free for all. You want to grab quietly so no one else notices, though. It's like musical chairs in the fact that there is one less object in the middle of the circle than there are people, so that whoever doesn't get an object gets an "S," then "P," and so on. The game continues until everyone has spelled "Spoon" aside from the winner.

And our cards that we have now originated in the Tarot deck. Any descriptions of cards come from what is in my Tarot deck.

About halfway through the meal, Usagi realized that the girl Mamoru was with was the one that she had punched during her first year. He didn't look very happy with his partner, nor, did it seem, with Usagi. Every time he happened to glance her way, his eyes seemed to ice over. One time, Usagi actually shivered, and Lee leaned nearer and asked, "Are you all right?"

His closeness seemed to warm her up, and she nodded.

The rest of the meal whirled by, and suddenly it was time to dance.

"Lee?" Usagi whispered nervously.

"Yes?"

"Do you know how to dance?"

"No. Why?"

"Because I don't know how to, either."

Lee laughed and then said quietly, "When the music starts, just dance. It doesn't matter what you do. If you dance about four times as fast as whatever slow song they're certain to play, you should be fine."

Usagi giggled, covering her mouth with her hand so the noise wouldn't escape.

A ridiculously slow ballad struck up and as all the other champions and partners drew nearer, Usagi and Lee began having an all out break-dancing war. Of course, neither one was a very good break-dancer, so they usually ended up flat on their backs. As McGonagall watched severely from the side of the room, obviously trying not to follow the students' examples and laugh, Usagi and Lee hurriedly moved closer. McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe they would behave properly…

No. They began to do a very over-dramatic tango, Lee holding a flower in his mouth. Who knew where it had come from? Who wanted to know? All that anyone knew was that these two were behaving very outrageously, and it was the most hilarious thing in the world.

They gave up on the tango (it had become very boring) and started to "waltz" around the room. Of course, neither one knew how to waltz (just like they hadn't known how to break-dance or tango), so they simply made up a version. It was a lot like what Laurie and Jo had done in the movie Little Women. They simply lifted their leg high on the first step, and then stayed half bent over on the next two.

"You waltz wonderfully, Mister Jordan," Usagi said as they passed near McGonagall.

"As do you, Miss Tsukino," Lee responded as they nearly crashed into a chuckling Dumbledore.

The first song finished ("At last," McGonagall sighed) and more people moved out onto the dance floor, patting Lee on the back and shaking Usagi's hands (both of them) with comments of, "That was brilliant!" or "McGonagall looked ready to kill!" and other things along those lines.

Lee and Usagi danced to a few more fast songs and then moved off the floor as a slow song took over.

"I hate slow songs. They're the worst things to dance to," Usagi muttered to herself.

"The first one wasn't that bad, was it?" Fred asked from the table she was approaching.

"No, that was fun, but now there are too many people dancing for me to be able to do that again."

"What do you want to bet?" George was sitting beside Fred.

"Nothing. With you two, anything is possible. Most likely you'd just plow over anybody who got in your way," Usagi said flatly.

The twins wore an insulted look.

"Don't give me that look," Usagi reprimanded. "It won't work on me. I can see that you two are just dying to laugh, so go ahead and get it over with now."

They both burst into laughter at the same moment.

"Well I didn't think it was that funny," Usagi said in an exasperated manner.

"With them, it is," Kelly said.

Usagi jumped then said, "Where's your date?"

"I ditched him after the food. He is one of the most boring people in the world, and I couldn't stand him much longer."

Usagi laughed then felt someone tugging on her elbow.

"Let's walk," Lee hissed in her ear, cocking his head towards the door.

"Kay," Usagi said, following him out. She knew where they would be going, and she knew that she'd have to explain.

Sure enough, they stopped in front of the statue. Usagi had been back only once since the incident with Harry turning into a monkey, and thankfully she'd switched the password to "Malfoy the chicken… bawk bawk!" while she was there.

"What's the password? I know you changed it," Lee said.

"Malfoy the chicken… bawk bawk!" Usagi said, giggling a bit. The statue opened and they both descended the stairs.

"So, how'd you find this room?"

"I don't know."

"Who else knows about it?"

"Harry, Ron and Hermione. I haven't told Kelly yet, but I was going to tell her tomorrow."

"Oh," Lee said. He was a bit insulted that he hadn't been told, but the other three had been.

"Harry's the only one who can get in, besides you and me," Usagi explained. "Ron gets stopped about… here," they'd just stepped on the half-way step, "and Hermione is stopped on the last one."

"Do you know why only Harry, I and you can get in?" Lee wasn't sounding too hopeful.

"Yes," Usagi said, looking slightly uncomfortable.

"Will you tell me why?"

"Yes. When we get down there."

Lee let the matter drop, and they walked in silence until they reached the bottom.

"Sit down," Usagi said, gesturing at the chairs. She grabbed up the book on the legend of her room, and began talking as she rifled through the pages. "This room was my mother's. She was Queen Serenity of the moon, and sent me and all the princesses and princes ahead into the future when evil attacked. She also sent herself. You've probably heard of the legendary MoonRocket broom… that was her's, and now it's mine. This room was her secret place while she was at Hogwarts… and now it's mine, and Harry's, and the Earth prince and princess. Here we are.

"It is said that only four people can enter the room: the princess of the Moon, the prince of the Moon, the princess of the Earth and the prince of the Earth.

"The prince and princess of the Moon, who are also twins, may enter it at any time, but it is different for those of the Earth.

"The princess of the Earth must discover her own identity, and then she may come in. She is one who is the best friend of the Moon princess.

"The prince of the Earth, the Moon princess's true love, may only enter after the Moon princess has realized that she loves him…

"I'm the Moon Princess, and Harry's my twin. And you, are the Earth Prince."

Lee was silent, shocked, then he began to grin in a rather dirty way. "Does that mean that we are going to get married?"

"Stuff it, you," Usagi said, whacking him on the head with her book.

"Stuff what?" he asked.

"Never mind. Read this little bit here and try it," Usagi said, pointing to the place in the book that described how to find things in the room.

A few moments later, a door appeared.

"Nice!" Lee cried, running over and flinging it open.

The room was… black. The sheets on the bed were black, the walls and carpet were black, the chairs were black, the bookshelves were black. A moment later, a wardrobe appeared and a large number of books, as well as a bedside table.

"Wow," Usagi breathed, looking at his collection of books. She sat down and began using the charm to read the books quickly.

"How do you do that?" Lee asked, watching Usagi take in all the information of book after book. She taught him before returning to her own books.

A while later, she looked at her watch and then exclaimed, "Shooties! Dalton demanded that I be back before twelve. She still believes in Santa, and said she was going to wait up until I got back!"

"So?" Lee asked carelessly.

"I can't ruin Christmas for a kid!" Usagi shouted from halfway up the stairs.

"Sure…" Lee said, getting up and following her.

As they neared the common room, Lee said, "I've an idea. You go in first, and keep her there until twelve, all right?"

"Erm… all right," Usagi said uncertainly.

"USAGI! You were nearly late!" Ezma shrieked as Usagi entered the room.

"But there's still… five seconds left, Ezma," Usagi said. Four, three, two…

"HOHOHO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Santa shouted, barging in through the portrait hole.

"Santa?" Ezma said incredulously.

"That's me! Hohoho!"

Usagi then realized that it was Lee… he'd transfigured himself into a Santa suit.

"Go give Santa a hug and run up to bed so he can leave your presents," Usagi instructed the small girl.

"First, I want to give her this," Lee said, holding out a small package.

Ezma grabbed it eagerly and ripped it open. "Ooh! It's a… it's a… a… what is it?"

"It's a Bunnynoceros, of course! Now, go up to bed like a good girl, and you'll get the rest of your presents in the morning."

After Ezma had left, Usagi shook her head disgustedly. "A Bunnynoceros? Really… of all the hilarious things to do… Night!"

She ran up the stairs and threw herself into her bed, dead tired.

"Um, good night?" Lee said to the empty common room.

A week later, term had started. At the first Divination class of the New Year, Trewlany announced that they would begin the Tarot.

After she had handed out the decks, her chair blew up just as she sat in it. "What? I'm… I'm burning! Ah! Help me help me help me! I'm on fire, for future's sake!" She ran out of the room with her robes on fire.

Usagi burst into a fit of giggles, and everyone looked at her suspiciously. "What? I wanted to play cards!" she said indignantly.

"And how do you suggest we do that?" Ron asked with raised eyebrows.

"Well, if we pull out the Major Arcana and the Pages, you have a basically normal deck. See, the wands are really clubs, the swords are spades, the cups are hearts, and the pentacles are diamonds. So, who wants to play Spoons?"

Everyone scooted their chairs into a circle as Usagi quickly explained the rules to those who needed their memories refreshed.

The game was very, very funny. After she had passed on three cards, Usagi took the full deck and rifled through, looking for what she needed. Parvati (who was sitting beside her) nearly burst into hysterics at the rate cards were being thrown at her. Lavender managed to grab a spoon first, though. Usagi snatched one up quickly, and then kept on throwing cards at Parvati. Everyone had realized that the spoons were up for grabs, and had picked one up. All except Parvati, who was frantically shoving cards in Hermione's direction.

She finally realized that everyone was holding back laughter, and as she looked up and said, "What?" everyone lost it.

When they'd all recovered slightly, Lavender showed her four tens. "What's up with this one?" she asked, pointing to the swords.

It was a picture of a man lying on his back with all ten swords stuck into him. Usagi and the boys began laughing again while the other girls said, quite simply, "Ew."

The days flew by, and then the second task arrived. Usagi hadn't spoken to Lee much at all, aside from planning pranks with the other MMs, but she knew she'd have to after the second task.

As she was realizing that she had to perform her task, Usagi managed to whisper to Kelly, "How do you say mermaid in Spanish?"

"Mermaid," Kelly shot back before Usagi had dashed off.
