Chapter 4
The girls entered and joined the queue waiting to be sorted. Dumbledore had explained about the
different houses, but they still didn't have a clue about which house they were going to be in.
The strange hat started to sing a song. Ami thought she really was going mad, but by the
incredulous looks on everyone else's faces, she realised it must have been happening. She started
to laugh as she realised the ridiculousness of the situation. They had fought so many dark
creatures and a blooming singing hat scared them.
The other girls just looked at her strangely. They were worried about her, she definitely wasn't
acting right.
One by one the little children sat in a chair and the hat chose what house they were going to be
in.
When it finally came to their turn everyone in the hall turned round to look at them.
Professor McGonagall wasn't sure which one should go first. After all she didn't know who came
first alphabetically, so she made Makoto sit down first as she was the first one in the line.
'Mmm. You're an interesting one. Most definitely interesting. Where can I put you in. Definitely
not there, or there. You are loyal but is Hufflepuff really for you? Fighting evil for good.'
"Gryffindor" the hat yelled. Makoto got up relieved. It was strange listening to the hat talk to
her.
She stood next to the hat unsure of where she could go. Even though she was going to be with the
first years she wasn't sure whether she could go and sit with them.
Professor McGonagall smiled at her and motioned for her to stand next to her.
Usagi was the next one to sit down. She jumped slightly as she heard the hat talking to her.
'Definitely loyal. Brave. You would make a good Hufflepuff'.
'Hufflepuff' thought Usagi. She didn't want to go there, Mako-chan was in, what was it called,
"Gryffindor" the hat called out.
Usagi breathed a sigh of relief. Makoto smiled at her encouragingly and Usagi went over to her
smiling at the others waiting.
Ami was the next one to sit down, she seemed to have got more nervous than any of the others and
seemed to be shaking. Rei placed a hand reassuringly on her shoulder as the hat started to talk
to her.
'You'd make a great Ravenclaw, all that intelligence, you would be wonderful, they could put real
use to all your talents'.
But despite her nervousness Ami knew that she had to stay with her friends and most importantly
her princess.
'Loyal too, are you sure you want to go in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw would be perfect for you'.
'NO' thought Ami.
'OK then' "Gryffindor" the hat yelled.
Ami stood up smiling, looking like herself for the first time that day. She touched Rei's hand
gently returning her comfort. Rei smiled as she sat down.
Ami was happy, she had achieved her duty to stay with her princess.
Rei wasn't nervous as she sat down, but as the hat started talking to her she felt concern. Never
in all of their encounters with evil had they met anything like this hat, it was definitely
dangerous, for if it got into the wrong hands they would have to power to know what the others
were feeling.
'Cunning, most definitely cunning. you'd meet lots of people like yourself in Slytherin.'
Oh no, she didn't want to end there. She hadn't liked it when the other girls went to different
schools before, she wanted to stay with them.
"Gryffindor" yelled the hat.
Everyone on the Gryffindor table cheered while the other houses clapped politely. Ami blushed a
little and the other girls bowed their heads, but Minako smiled and stuck her hands out in her
infamous Sailor V pose.
Before it even happened Rei knew that they were going to end up sitting on the table with the
boy she had noticed earlier.
It was strange what she felt, but she tried to put it to the back of her mind. It was probably
the school doing strange things to her senses.
----------
Ron couldn't believe his luck when Professor McGonagall brought the girls to sit with them.
He thought they'd been beautiful from far off, but up close they were wonderful. He turned
bright red as one of the girls smiled at him.
Hermione didn't know what to do. The five most beautiful girls that she had ever seen were coming
to sit at their table. she was seething. How dare Professor McGonagall so that to her.
"Miss Granger" said Professor McGonagall.
Hermione certainly looked strange. Harry had never seen her like that before and for a moment he
thought that she was going to be rude but it was Hermione after all.
"Yes Professor" said Hermione. It wasn't fair that she behaved like this, it wasn't the girls'
fault.
"I would like you to take care of these girls while they get settled in. I will come and see
them later to sort out their time tables." said McGonagall.
"Of course professor" said Hermione smiling at the new girls. She had to make an effort to be
nice to them.
They all sat down squeezing into the little space that there was. Ron managed to turn a darker
shade of red as one of the girls sat down next to him.
The all quickly introduced themselves telling them a little about themselves.
Hermione was incredibly excited, they were Japanese. She'd always wanted to go to Japan and she'd
heard some incredible stories about things that went on in Tokyo.
She was about to ask the girls about it when a little girl from Ravenclaw approached the table
and asked the cheerful blonde that she now knew was Minako,
"Are you really Minako Aino" she asked nervously.
"Yep, me in the flesh." she replied smiling.
"Oh my! You're my idol. I mean you're great, I've seen every single one of your films and they're
great. I want to be just like I'm older." she gushed.
'Films' mouthed Ron at Harry.
"Muggle form of entertainment. Consisting of moving pictures" said Hermione responding for Harry.
So that was where she had recognised that girl. She was that child star. She had seen a few of
the films. They weren't bad, but they had been too fantastical to believe, all those monsters
and magical powers; they just didn't exist. But she hadn't thought that witches and wizards
existed till she found out she was one.
The little girl continued, "Can I have your autograph, please!" she said looking at Minako, her
eyes pleading.
"Of course" she replied flashing her one of her winning smiles.
Ron thought he was going to melt. She was absolutely wonderful.
"Umm, could I get one for my brother, he thinks you're absolutely gorgeous" the little girl
added. Minako turned beet red.
Hermione was glad that Minako blushed, it reassured her that they were just normal girls like
her.
As Minako signed the paper that the girl had produced the doors to the great hall burst open
and a young man ran in.
Usagi looked up and froze. Rei sensed her princess tense up next to her and turned to see what
had caused the reaction. As soon as she saw who it was she started whispering fiercely into the
other girl's ear.
"I wonder who he is" asked Harry looking at Mamoru.
"Oh, him." said Ron very unenthusiastically. "He's the new muggle studies teacher. We met
him over the holidays."
Hermione had seen the two girls start whispering and turned to them
"Ah I see," she said, "You've fallen under his spell too. He's so handsome."
Ron audibly groaned. The last thing he needed was for five more girls to be interested in this
new professor. Personally, he didn't see what was so special about him.
Usagi glared at her, her eyes flashing silver for a second before she relaxed.
"He's a muggle, you know non magic." said Ron, trying to prevent more people falling for the
professor.
"Ron!" exclaimed Hermione.
"I don't see why you like him Hermione, especially after Professor Lockhart." Hermione blushed
slightly after the last comment.
"Well that was different." murmured Ron afraid that Hermione would explode at him again.
"Don't worry we haven't fallen for him." said Rei, sensing Usagi's discomfort at talking about
her soul mate in that way.
Ron and Harry seemed relieved to hear this.
"I'm sure that he has got some magic." whispered Usagi quietly.
"Magic. Him!" scoffed Ron. "He teaches muggle studies and I can tell you, they'll be a whole
flock of girls wanting to do it now."
Hermione eager to change the subject asked the girls "So what are you going to learn."
"We don't know, we've never done anything like this before." replied Makoto.
"We won't be behind. We will have a chance to catch up won't we." said a frantic Ami.
"Ami, don't worry, as soon as you get some sleep it will all seem better." reassured Minako.
The other girls nodded their reassurances now knowing why Ami had been behaving oddly.
"But, but, what if I fail. I.." Ami looked almost mad.
"She's not normally like this." smiled Rei trying to excuse her.
"Well, not this panicky." added Minako smiling.
"We're used to it. Hermione is exactly the same way." said Ron receiving a glare from Hermione.
Minako smiled to herself. As the senshi of love it was her duty to put two people like Ron and
Hermione together. But she also had to help her princess with her prince.
All of the girls suddenly jumped as food suddenly appeared on the tables.
"Where... Where..." said a startled Makoto her eyes wide.
"It's magic" explained Harry.
"Just ignore it, you'll get used to it soon enough." added Hermione. "I felt the same way when
I first came here, but look at me now."
The meal went smoothly enough, but Usagi was extremely quiet and hardly touched her food.
Usagi was extremely upset. Why couldn't he have written to her and told her where he was. It
would have made coming here so much easier. She was so tired and miserable that she wanted to
cry. Perhaps it was that her Mamo-chan didn't want to be with her anymore.
Rei who was sitting next to Usagi barely noticed her friends misery for she was scrutinising
the boy, Harry. All of the weird sensations that she was receiving were from him and she couldn't
pin-point what it was. She frowned in concentration disconcerted that she seemed to have lost
control here.
Harry's emotions where everywhere. He was sad that he had lost his godfather, but now there were
these beautiful new girls and he couldn't stop thinking about that girl, Rei. The way she was
looking at him. It was strange. It was as if she was analysing him. If he had been any other boy
he would have felt flattered, but he couldn't help feeling that there was more to her than
met the eye.
Harry was sure he was missing something, but he couldn't quite think what it was.
It was after dinner that things got worse.
Dumbledore finished dinner by warning them not to go into the forest and that the dark lord was
on the loose. He also introduced the new teacher, Professor Meioh was going to teach defence
against the dark arts and Professor Chiba was going to teach muggle studies.
After Professor Chiba's name Ron was sure that he heard most of the girls in the room sigh.
But it was after dinner that Malfoy came and introduced himself to the new girls.
"Well, well Potter. I see you have some more people to join your fanclub." he smirked.
"Famous mudbloods at that. I thought you would have known better"
The only person Ron hated more than Malfoy was the one that he would not name, his face was
bright red, "Shut up Malfoy. You're only jealous cos they're not in Slytherin."
"Temper, temper. You're certainly not like your father. He knows to do what he's told"
Ron almost exploded, but before he could Usagi left the table and ran out of the hall doors.
It had only taken a second before she was followed by her four other friends and professor
Chiba.
**************
Mamoru was furious. He was late for dinner again. One moment he had been walking down the
corridor and the next thing he knew Peeves was in-front of him and then he was in the infirmary.
Someone really had to do something about that poltergeist.
As he was about to go into the hall he felt something. He wasn't sure what it was but if felt
familiar and it was only when he walked into the hall that he realised what it was.
For there sitting down on the Gryffindor table was his love and her four guardians.
His first instinct had been to run up to her and hold her in his arms, but Snape's glare at him
reminded him who he was and who she obviously was.
He walked up to the table closely followed by her gaze. One part of him wanted her to squeal and
run up to him, but he knew she wouldn't do it. She had changed and was becoming more of the
princess that he knew she was.
All the way through dinner he couldn't take his eyes off her. She was still as beautiful as
ever. He closed his eyes and managed to get through the introduction, but when he saw her run out
he let his instincts take over and he ran after her.

Sorry I know this chapter isn't as good as all the others, but
Obvious too I know. I mean what other house would they end up in!
The girls entered and joined the queue waiting to be sorted. Dumbledore had explained about the
