Chapter 5: lessons
For once in my life I was not the one who woke to Cold water on my head. This time it was my sisters and Hermione's turn Thats right they too had been awoken Niagra Falls style. "You had it coming!" I remarked."Its called Karma!" I teased. I know it wasn't nice but ... It was just so funny to see them dripping wet staring at Diju and I laughing at them. Then I got up and got dressed in 2.5 seconds or I would have if I hadn't needed to ask a question. "Hermione! I know we have to wear our robes but do we need to wear like you know a certain color skirt or shirt?" I asked. "No I don't think so you just have to wear that on Wednesday, Thursday, and Tuesday. On Mondays and Fridays you can wear what you want." she said. "Kay." I replied. I got dressed in orange cargo capris and a pink shirt with silk sleeves and a traditional Japanese front. Slipped my Gryffindor Robes on and slipped my blue and green sneakers on. I combed my long hair out and separated the black parts from the blue parts and put each strip into a ponytail. The result? About 10 different ponytail each reaching past my waist. Diju was wearing a green shirt with ribbons hanging from different areas on it. Blue jeans that had white stars all over them. "Hey Mera? Can you help me with my hair?" "Sure what do you want?" I replied. Diju explained that she wanted to try 6 ponytails starting from the front of her head with white ribbons hanging from them. Usagi and Hermione and Hotaru were all unusually quiet during this time. "Now lets get em!" Hotaru suddenly shouted. "Huh?" Diju and I said together. "Look out!"
*********************************************************************
"I swear I am so gonna kill them!" Diju hissed to me."Get in line Sister!" I said in reply. If your wondering what happened well I'll tell you! They grabbed us and tied us up with rope back to back. They carried us in front of every one and threw us in the lake. Everyone seemed to realize that they did it because we had drenched them with water but still! We dumped a bucket on them not a lake! We had to swim tied back to back than walk to the shore like an entry in a three legged race. Fall on the ground sideways to pick up our wands , magically dry ourselves and magically untie ourselves with everyone staring at us. Once that was over we were really late for our first lesson: Potions. The bad part about that was the fact that although we had it with the Slytherin's so Diju could be with her brother, The Potions Master hates all of Gryffindor! As I guided Diju to the classroom we were plotting revenge for: a. Humiliation. b. getting us wet. c. Making us late. and d. making us miss breakfast. We snuck into the classroom, praying that we wouldn't be in trouble,.... No such luck. The moment we entered a stern voice called out "Well, Looks like the two mermaids Merana, and Dijuana have decided to grace us with their presence! Detention Both of you for the rest of the week! Meet me here after class to discuss your punishment!" It was Snape. The potions master. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Hermione, Hotaru, and Usagi gasp and sneak a guilty look at us. They had obviously not meant to get us into trouble this bad. "Now find a seat so we can resume the lesson from where we were before you decided to come in late." Embarrassed, Diju and I slunk off to a table that had Harry and Ron at it. As we sat down Ron said "Don't worry at least he didn't take points off, you didn't miss much either. He was just about to take attendance." "If he was just about to take attendance then we weren't late so why did we get detention?" Diju asked. "Because-" he never got to finish. "Mr. Weasly! You can continue your chat with your girlfriend Diju during their detention, which you are now sharing. 5 points from Gryffindor." Snape said. When Snape called Diju Ron's girlfriend, Draco turned around to glare at Ron. That was all I needed to prove that Draco loved his younger by 2 minutes twin sister and was overprotective of her. I then turned my attention to Snape as he called the role. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah was all I heard until he reached Diju and marked her late. When he reached Harry he paused and said "Ahh, so a class celebrity. Don't expect special treatment." He also paused when he reached Hotaru, Usagi, and I. After he marked me late, he said "Like Potter your celebrities and like potter don't expect special treatment. Your status does not give you an excuse for being late either."I glared at him. Then I glared at my sisters. Everyone had heard about both Pranks and giggled when they noticed my glares at my sisters and at Hermione. "Lets begin class shall we?" Snape said when he finished the role call. He then started off on a speech about stopping death and whatever. Then he made us copy it down and started us off on a simple sleeping potion. But first he paired us off. I just barely managed to convince him that Diju and I should be partners. I guided her hand to the right ingredients. We had just finished when there was a loud explosion from a table in the back of the room. Nevil it appeared had skipped a step and added porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire. He was starting to break out in boils after the cauldron melted. Currently the Potion was seeping across the floor burning holes in it. People were pulling their feet up so as not to damage their shoes. I was one of them, not wanting any damage to my favorite pair of sneakers. Then I realized something. Diju! She couldn't see what was going on! "Diju! Pull your feet up!" I called out just in time. If I had waited just one second more her feet .. Well she wouldn't have had any feet. *shudder* "Class dismissed! Dijuana, Merana, you are excused from Detention. Instead Harry and Ron Can take your place!" "Why do I get detention?" Harry asked. "Because you didn't warn Nevil. Probably though it would make you look good if he got it wrong." Snape replied. This was very unfair. But I knew that if I stood up for Harry I would get detention again. So giving him a sympathetic look Diju and I scooted out of the classroom and headed to the next class. Or tried to. Draco suddenly appeared and said "Can I borrow my sis for a sec?" Without waiting for a reply he grabbed Diju's arm and pulled her aside to talk. No doubt ask her if she really was dating Weasly. I laughed. He acts so tough but when things included his sister he acted like a baby! I waited for them to finish before taking off. I realized that I would be late again if we didn't hurry. For awhile I contiplated leaving but decided against it. I mean c'mon what would Diju do if there wasn't anyone here to bring her to her next lesson? So I waited and waited. Finally Diju came back. I started yelling at her because we were gonna be late. "Um mera?" she said through the yelling. "Yeah?" I said. "I was only gone for 2 minutes. We have 5 minutes to find our next class." Diju said. "Oh....................Well you could have told me!" I grumbled. "I did." she replied. We argued about that all the way to our next class. Our next class was Charms. At first I thought that the charms teacher wasn't there but then I realized that he was standing on a pile of books and was so short that his head barely reached the table even though he was standing on a pile of books."*cough* Midget*cough*" I whispered to Diju. She didn't respond. I waved my hand in front of her face and said"hello? Earth to diju? Anybody home?" "Hum? Oh sorry!" She showed me what she had been doing. For someone who was blind she sure could draw and write well. Better than me in fact. It was a plot of revenge against Usagi, Hotaru, and Hermione. I looked it over "Brilliant absolutely brilliant!" I muttered eyes wide open sucking up the plan."Only question is..when do we do it?" Diju remarked. "Leave that to me!" I said grinning.
**************************************************************************** ***************** Next morning we got up and dressed in school uniform. I did my hair and Diju's just like it had been yesterday. We had woken up extremely early that morning to carry out the plot. Gone back to bed and now were getting up early again. This time because we did not want to miss the fun of watching their faces. We waited in the common room for them to come down. When they did Hotaru rushed over and said "OMG! ALERT THE MEDIA! MERA ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GET UP BEFORE 12:00!!!!!!!!" "Oh shut-up!" I said. "C'mon lets get this show on the road!" I said "You seem a little overeager to get down to breakfast is there a reason?" usagi asked. "NO! Its just that we have never had breakfast here before." I said. "O-o-o-k-k- k-a-a-a-y-y-y." Hotaru said not really believing us. We walked down to the hall upon entering we ran ahead. "Huh? What-" suddenly a flurry of water balloons launched at them. The best part was the fact that they were enchanted so they would keep coming after um until they wore off." I explained to Fred and George who were holding pens and pads of paper. "How long till they wear off?" they asked. "Ohhhh... let me think.um... about say........uh...a.....the whole day?" "Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!" they said. "I know! It's better than anything you could probably think up!" Diju said with a smile. "Spoken like a true Malfoy." they said to her. "Well I am a Malfoy so I should speak like one." Diju said matter of factly "Got a point there." they said. Suddenly we heard a loud angry voice shout "DIJUANA, MERANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SUGGEST YOU RUN VERY FAR AND VERY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"It was Usagi, Hotaru, and Hermione all together. "OH NO!!!! RUN!!!!" Diju and I said together. And then we ran like crazy. We kept on running until we ran out of breath and then we collapsed and burst into laughter. I knew we were gonna pay later. but we didn't care right then at the moment. We remained there for a few more minutes. Then We got up and nervously peeked our heads into the Great hall. Silently praying that my sisters would not find me Diju and I snuck back to our seats. We were in for the shock of our lives. Suddenly The window burst open and what looked like a flurry of black and brown flecks zoomed into the room. "What's going on?" I asked Fred who was sitting next to us at the time. "Huh? Oh! Blimey! I forgot you two were in the lake last time!" He said happily. " Yeah we noticed that! Now cut to the point what the heck is going on?" Diju said less than kindly. "Wait and see! Oh rude one!" Fred said sticking his tongue out at her. "Once a Malfoy always a Malfoy." George said crossly. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you insulting my family? OH! You will pay!" Diju hissed at them. With out warning she, Fred, George, and I (don't know how I got involved!) Were involved in a fight. It probably looked hilarious. Two third year boys being beaten up by two first year girls, one of whom was blind. Unfortunately for Diju and I, my sister's noticed us then and joined in the fight but on the boys side."I thought family stuck together!?" I shouted at them. "That was before the water balloons!" Hotaru said evilly. Sure enough the water balloons were still throwing themselves at them. Eventually Percy came over to break up the fight." Ahw! Perc! Why do you always ruin all the fun?" Fred and George said together. "Yeah! Why did you have to ruin it?" my sister's and I chorused. "Because as prefect it is my duty to protect the innocent first years from viewing this horrible fight. And since it was my own brothers that were involved I feel it is my duty to pull you guys apart." Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah! Percy Babbled on and on about his duty. "While he was talking we slunk away unnoticed. I never realized that it took people five minuted to realize that the people they were talking too had disappeared! When we got back to our seats I discovered that the "brown and black specks" were actually owls and that they delivered our mail. I found several letters waiting for me. I ripped open the first one. It was from Sageana.
Dear Merana,
What's ^? Me and the scouts were wondering what had happened to you when chibi-sage reported that you never showed up for school anymore. Then we heard from your parents that you had left the country to go to some school for witches in England. At first I didn't believe them and I thought they had gone crazy! I even told them so! But then they showed us the letter that you three had received in the mail. Even then I have to admit I was a bit doubtful. But then I got the address for the school so now if you reply back I will know that your folks aren't losing it! I miss you all and That annoying spawn of Satan that I call a sibling and goes by the name of "Sammy" sends his regards. Though I doubt that you'll want them..........School is going okay over here. But I guess it always will for me ya know? I mean c'mon I have gotten straight A's since......what? Kindergarten? Amy's grades are picking up a bit(note: Keyword there!*a bit*!) So she's probaly gonna stand a chance of passing this year! Maybe! But don't write to her and get her hopes up! She's is very close to beating all the games at the Crown arcade though! Rei is doing okay as well. She stopped showing up late for all the meetings! That is definitely an improvement! Right? She's pretty much thrown herself into her priestess job and we hardly ever see her though... Which is surprising considering the fact that the meetings are held at her grampa's temple! But one thing that will never change is her great guitar playing! She and her band are on their way to fame and are expecting a CD out in late May! Lita is doing a great job with her attempt at modeling! She is really becoming something! Her cooking is still not so good. I don't mean to complain or anything but eating her food is like ...is like....is like swallowing ROCKS!!! I mean c'mon! She invited us over to her house for dinner to celebrate her successful launch into the modeling world. We agreed because we had no idea she was cooking! Big surprise. But because she is my best best best friend and my most trusted scout I really didn't want to hurt her feelings so I pretended to enjoy the food. Needless to say Darien and I went for take out right after! So lets keep this our own little secret!( I grinned here. Lita was famous for her horrible cooking!)Mina on the other hand is great at cooking! She's even thinking about starting her own restaurant later on when she gets out of school! That is if she doesn't take on a career as a Professional Volleyball player! She has gotten even better at it since you left. I didn't even think that was possible but it appears as though it is! Ciao! Gotta run! Write me soon!
n n
Love, ll ll
Sageana(^-^)
P.S. Darien sends his regards!
I smiled at the letter. Everyone was doing what they wanted to do most. Sageana it appeared was being her regular always there for you, always happy, perfect funny self. She was the one that got me into the habit of saying c'mon all the time! Lita was the one who taught me how to always look my best. Amy was the one who taught me how to play video games. Mina was the one who taught me all I know about cooking and that was a lot! Rei was the one who taught me how to rock on the guitar. Darien had taught me all I needed to know about Pulling Pranks on people too. Chibi-sage had taught me how to use a camera and made me discover how much I loved it! I learned a lot from these guys! A lot more than I'll ever be able to repay them for. It was bad enough that I was missing all the scout meetings to boot!. Oh wait I forgot! You have no idea what I am talking about do you? (See's people shaking their heads) I guess I'll have to explain. You see I'm a type of Guardian. I am a member of the sailor scouts. A group of people just like me who have devoted their time to helping the world be safe. No we are not like the Justice league. We tend to avoid encounters with people of the reporter/fan kind. Especially when we are still in uniform. I proudly carry the title Sailor West Saturn. My sister Usagi is sailor East Saturn. Hotaru is sailor Point Saturn. We really don't know the details leading to why we are what we are except for the fact that Saturn chose us. Sageana in case you haven't guessed is the leader. She's Sailor Moon. No jokes please. Rei is sailor Mars. Amy is sailor Mercury. Lita is sailor Jupiter. And Mina is sailor Venus. And thats about all I know. We really haven't spent that much time in our "save the world outfits" but I can tell you that I feel happy that my uniform and my sister's are very different. Everyone else runs around in "to short for comfort and public decency" skirts and "way to tight for comfort" tops. My sisters and I maintain decency and coolness. My outfit is a Pale shimmery blue silk cargo capris. With sandals that lace up all the way to my knees. I have a sleeveless belly shirt made of the same material as my capris. My hair gets done up into two long braids reaching to my knees. My hair turns pale blue and the braids are tied with white ribbons that crisscross around my braids. I have a tiara with a sea blue gem in the shape of a cloud. I have two ribbons tied to each arm. My sisters have the same outfits but in different colors and different style tiaras. Usagi has a purple outfit. And her tiara has a purple gem in the shape of a wave. Hotaru has a light green outfit. Her tiara has a green gem in the shape of a leaf. I opened up the last letter.
Dear Merana,
Ha! You know that top snowboarding score you have on Rocky death mountain? Well, ITS GONE NOW!!!!!!! Guess who beat it? ME!!! Ha! I'll always do better than you! No matter what! I have also replaced your spot on the elite gymnastics team, Your spot on the national ice skating team, your skateboarding record, your surfing title of "Wild Mer" Is now mine! Ha!! Loser!
Love,
#1 at everything Mica.
I grimaced at this. Before I had been number 1 at all things involving sports. And Mica was my number 1 rival since 3rd grade. We used to be best friends but then something happened. We had a big fight and haven't been friends since. I think also the fact that she became popular didn't really help. I leaned back and sighed. Unfortunately, I forgot that there was no back of the seat to stop me from falling. I fell flat on the floor. Sometimes I really hated gravity.
I slowly got up. I reseated myself and began to eat. "No one saw that right?" I whispered to Fred feeling embarrassed. "Saw what? You falling on your but? Yeah, everyone saw that." he said jokingly. "Oh thanks!" I muttered. "Hey, Mera! Is there any mail for me?" Diju said nudging me. "Hm? Oh! Let me see." I said sifting through the pile for anything addressed to her. I finally came upon a red envelope that was addressed to Diju. "Here's one." I said handing it to her. "Don't open it!" Hermione said quickly. "Why not?" Diju asked. "It's a Howler!" Hermione said. "A *gulp* Howler?" Diju said nervously. "I need to open it then! If I don't it will just be worse!" Diju said sadly. She ripped it open and plugged her ears. I didn't understand until it was too late."HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!! GETTING INTO GRYFFINDOR LIKE THAT!!!!!!! THERE HASN'T BEEN A GRYFFINDOR IN THIS FAMILY SINCE....SINCE....SINCE EVER!!!!! BUT DON'T WORRY!!! JUST DON'T TALK TO A SINGLE GRYFFINDOR AND STICK WITH YOUR BROTHER!!!!! I'M SURE WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT LATER!!!! OH, YEAH AND WHILE YOUR THERE DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GET HARAKU TENIOH'S AUTOGRAPH FROM HER KID'S?" A loud voice boomed from the envelope. Diju sat there stunned while I clutched my bleeding ears. I was sure that I had gone deaf. "Um... I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that, that was your parents response to you getting into Gryffindor. Am I right?" I said fiddling with my ears to make sure I could still hear. "Yeah. Good guess." Diju said still stunned. I finished my first ever breakfast at the school. I looked at my trips. They were still getting pelted with water balloons. I smiled sweetly at them. Hotaru and Usagi and Hermione all glared back. Suddenly I felt a nudge under the table. I looked down. I then stupidly realized that by looking down I could only see my empty*burp* plate. I ducked my head under the table.
At first all I saw was a flash of silver fur. Then as the "flash" slowed down I could make out one orange eye and one pink eye. Then I made out two cute pointed ears. Last but not least I saw the cutest ever attempted grin on It's face. Windspirit had finally come back. I rubbed her behind the ears. "I missed you." I whispered. She looked at me. I picked her up and sat her on my lap. Knowing that unless she had eaten Mrs. Norris (No such luck!) She should be starving. I grabbed a roll from the basket nearest me and feed her with it. Windspirit looked up at me and tried to lick the syrup that had gotten on my face when I was eating my pancakes, off. Windspirit after stopping her attempts to bathe me with her tongue, took a chance to look around the table. From the puzzled look on her cute furry face, I could tell she had caught a glimpse of my sisters.

And since it was my own brothers that were involved I feel it is my duty to pull you guys apart." Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah! Percy Babbled on and on about his duty. "While he was talking we slunk away unnoticed. I never realized that it took people five minuted to realize that the people they were talking too had disappeared! When we got back to our seats I discovered that the "brown and black specks" were actually owls and that they delivered our mail. I found several letters waiting for me. I ripped open the first one. It was from Sageana.
Dear Merana,
What's ^? Me and the scouts were wondering what had happened to you when chibi-sage reported that you never showed up for school anymore. Then we heard from your parents that you had left the country to go to some school for witches in England. At first I didn't believe them and I thought they had gone crazy! I even told them so! But then they showed us the letter that you three had received in the mail. Even then I have to admit I was a bit doubtful. But then I got the address for the school so now if you reply back I will know that your folks aren't losing it! I miss you all and That annoying spawn of Satan that I call a sibling and goes by the name of "Sammy" sends his regards. Though I doubt that you'll want them..........School is going okay over here. But I guess it always will for me ya know? I mean c'mon I have gotten straight A's since......what? Kindergarten? Amy's grades are picking up a bit(note: Keyword there!*a bit*!) So she's probaly gonna stand a chance of passing this year! Maybe! But don't write to her and get her hopes up! She's is very close to beating all the games at the Crown arcade though! Rei is doing okay as well. She stopped showing up late for all the meetings! That is definitely an improvement! Right? She's pretty much thrown herself into her priestess job and we hardly ever see her though... Which is surprising considering the fact that the meetings are held at her grampa's temple! But one thing that will never change is her great guitar playing! She and her band are on their way to fame and are expecting a CD out in late May! Lita is doing a great job with her attempt at modeling! She is really becoming something! Her cooking is still not so good. I don't mean to complain or anything but eating her food is like ...is like....is like swallowing ROCKS!!! I mean c'mon! She invited us over to her house for dinner to celebrate her successful launch into the modeling world. We agreed because we had no idea she was cooking! Big surprise. But because she is my best best best friend and my most trusted scout I really didn't want to hurt her feelings so I pretended to enjoy the food. Needless to say Darien and I went for take out right after! So lets keep this our own little secret!( I grinned here. Lita was famous for her horrible cooking!)Mina on the other hand is great at cooking! She's even thinking about starting her own restaurant later on when she gets out of school! That is if she doesn't take on a career as a Professional Volleyball player! She has gotten even better at it since you left. I didn't even think that was possible but it appears as though it is! Ciao! Gotta run! Write me soon!

Love, ll ll
Sageana(^-^)
P.S. Darien sends his regards!
I smiled at the letter. Everyone was doing what they wanted to do most. Sageana it appeared was being her regular always there for you, always happy, perfect funny self. She was the one that got me into the habit of saying c'mon all the time! Lita was the one who taught me how to always look my best. Amy was the one who taught me how to play video games. Mina was the one who taught me all I know about cooking and that was a lot! Rei was the one who taught me how to rock on the guitar. Darien had taught me all I needed to know about Pulling Pranks on people too. Chibi-sage had taught me how to use a camera and made me discover how much I loved it! I learned a lot from these guys! A lot more than I'll ever be able to repay them for. It was bad enough that I was missing all the scout meetings to boot!. Oh wait I forgot! You have no idea what I am talking about do you? (See's people shaking their heads) I guess I'll have to explain. You see I'm a type of Guardian. I am a member of the sailor scouts. A group of people just like me who have devoted their time to helping the world be safe. No we are not like the Justice league. We tend to avoid encounters with people of the reporter/fan kind. Especially when we are still in uniform. I proudly carry the title Sailor West Saturn. My sister Usagi is sailor East Saturn. Hotaru is sailor Point Saturn. We really don't know the details leading to why we are what we are except for the fact that Saturn chose us. Sageana in case you haven't guessed is the leader. She's Sailor Moon. No jokes please. Rei is sailor Mars. Amy is sailor Mercury. Lita is sailor Jupiter. And Mina is sailor Venus. And thats about all I know. We really haven't spent that much time in our "save the world outfits" but I can tell you that I feel happy that my uniform and my sister's are very different. Everyone else runs around in "to short for comfort and public decency" skirts and "way to tight for comfort" tops. My sisters and I maintain decency and coolness. My outfit is a Pale shimmery blue silk cargo capris. With sandals that lace up all the way to my knees. I have a sleeveless belly shirt made of the same material as my capris. My hair gets done up into two long braids reaching to my knees. My hair turns pale blue and the braids are tied with white ribbons that crisscross around my braids. I have a tiara with a sea blue gem in the shape of a cloud. I have two ribbons tied to each arm. My sisters have the same outfits but in different colors and different style tiaras. Usagi has a purple outfit. And her tiara has a purple gem in the shape of a wave. Hotaru has a light green outfit. Her tiara has a green gem in the shape of a leaf. I opened up the last letter.
Dear Merana,
Ha! You know that top snowboarding score you have on Rocky death mountain? Well, ITS GONE NOW!!!!!!! Guess who beat it? ME!!! Ha! I'll always do better than you! No matter what! I have also replaced your spot on the elite gymnastics team, Your spot on the national ice skating team, your skateboarding record, your surfing title of "Wild Mer" Is now mine! Ha!! Loser!
Love,
#1 at everything Mica.
I grimaced at this. Before I had been number 1 at all things involving sports. And Mica was my number 1 rival since 3rd grade. We used to be best friends but then something happened. We had a big fight and haven't been friends since. I think also the fact that she became popular didn't really help. I leaned back and sighed. Unfortunately, I forgot that there was no back of the seat to stop me from falling. I fell flat on the floor. Sometimes I really hated gravity.
I slowly got up. I reseated myself and began to eat. "No one saw that right?" I whispered to Fred feeling embarrassed. "Saw what? You falling on your but? Yeah, everyone saw that." he said jokingly. "Oh thanks!" I muttered. "Hey, Mera! Is there any mail for me?" Diju said nudging me. "Hm? Oh! Let me see." I said sifting through the pile for anything addressed to her. I finally came upon a red envelope that was addressed to Diju. "Here's one." I said handing it to her. "Don't open it!" Hermione said quickly. "Why not?" Diju asked. "It's a Howler!" Hermione said. "A *gulp* Howler?" Diju said nervously. "I need to open it then! If I don't it will just be worse!" Diju said sadly. She ripped it open and plugged her ears. I didn't understand until it was too late."HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!! GETTING INTO GRYFFINDOR LIKE THAT!!!!!!! THERE HASN'T BEEN A GRYFFINDOR IN THIS FAMILY SINCE....SINCE....SINCE EVER!!!!! BUT DON'T WORRY!!! JUST DON'T TALK TO A SINGLE GRYFFINDOR AND STICK WITH YOUR BROTHER!!!!! I'M SURE WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT LATER!!!! OH, YEAH AND WHILE YOUR THERE DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GET HARAKU TENIOH'S AUTOGRAPH FROM HER KID'S?" A loud voice boomed from the envelope. Diju sat there stunned while I clutched my bleeding ears. I was sure that I had gone deaf. "Um... I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that, that was your parents response to you getting into Gryffindor. Am I right?" I said fiddling with my ears to make sure I could still hear. "Yeah. Good guess." Diju said still stunned. I finished my first ever breakfast at the school. I looked at my trips. They were still getting pelted with water balloons. I smiled sweetly at them. Hotaru and Usagi and Hermione all glared back. Suddenly I felt a nudge under the table. I looked down. I then stupidly realized that by looking down I could only see my empty*burp* plate. I ducked my head under the table.
At first all I saw was a flash of silver fur. Then as the "flash" slowed down I could make out one orange eye and one pink eye. Then I made out two cute pointed ears. Last but not least I saw the cutest ever attempted grin on It's face. Windspirit had finally come back. I rubbed her behind the ears. "I missed you." I whispered. She looked at me. I picked her up and sat her on my lap. Knowing that unless she had eaten Mrs. Norris (No such luck!) She should be starving. I grabbed a roll from the basket nearest me and feed her with it. Windspirit looked up at me and tried to lick the syrup that had gotten on my face when I was eating my pancakes, off. Windspirit after stopping her attempts to bathe me with her tongue, took a chance to look around the table. From the puzzled look on her cute furry face, I could tell she had caught a glimpse of my sisters.
