Chapter Three: Train Ride and Sorting
~Train Ride~
Usagi and gang were now sitting in a compartment at the very end of the train and were talking to Artemis, Luna and Diana.
It was a wonder how they even got on it on time what with the barrier and all!
~FLASHBACK~
"Usagi!! Get UP!!!!" yelled Rei for the ten millionth time.
It was 10am in the morning and if they didn't hurry, then they would miss the train.
"Don't wanna go to school this year!!"
*Knock, Knock!*
"Yes?" called back Chibi-Usa.
"Just to let you all know that you should really start getting breakfast and go to the platform!!" said Tom through the door.
"BREAKFAST?!?!"
Well Usagi was finally awake and stormed down the stairs.
"Would have never thought of that," said Luna.
Downstairs, Usagi was gobbling away all the food before the others had even arrived there.
"Usagi! Don't be such a pig!!" said Rei from the top of the stairs.
"It's not my fault Rei!! I love this food!!!"
They all sighed and went down so they could eat.
By the time they were done, it was 10:30.
"We should go and get a Taxi," said Mako.
They all ran upstairs, grabbed their things, put it in their subspace pocket and went back down to meet their cab.
By the time they had got to the Kings Cross Station, it was 10:50.
They quickly got off the train and ran to the platform. The only problem is that...they couldn't find it.
They looked everywhere and by the time they had given up, it was 10:55.
They were now standing between platforms nine and ten.
"Where in god damn world is the stupid platform?!" Rei cried out at last after their searches.
"Maybe it's like Diagon Alley. This place does seem to cloak their magic a lot more thorough then ours," said Helios.
"I think it will be tad bit too obvious if a whole bunch of students tap bricks on a wall and it opens up to be a platform!" said Mina as she leaned to the wall between platforms nine and ten.
"AHH!!!"
Minako had just fell right through it.
"Mina-chan!!! Are you all right?!" said Usagi as she ran through the wall as well.
The others just sweat dropped.
"At least we know how to get on the platform!" said Ami as she and the others walked through the wall.
~END OF FLASHBACK~
"I wonder what Hogwarts is like," said Diana.
"Well according to this, it should be a very exciting school," said Ami not looking up from her book, Hogwarts, A History.
Slide.
"Oh sorry. I didn't know anyone was in this compartment," said the girl from the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione.
"Hey I know you! You and your friends helped us get into Diagon Alley!!" said Mako.
"It's okay, you can sit here with us," said Mina.
"Thanks. Um, can Harry Ron and his sister sit here too?"
"Sure!" said Ami.
"Thanks."
She walked in with Harry, Ron and a bright red headed girl following. They sat down opposite of them.
"Hi! I'm Ginny Weasley."
"Hi! My name's Mina Aino and these are my friends."
"I'm Makoto Kino but you can just call me Mako."
"Rei Hino."
"Chibi-Usa Tsukino!"
"Usagi Tsukino."
"Ami Mizuno."
"Helios."
"I read that book when I first came here too!" said Hermione pointing at the book.
"Ami here loves to read and carries a textbook where ever she went back at junior high," said Mako.
"And she got top marks!" said Mina.
"Except for that one time with Mercurious! We kept on getting the tops marks!!!" stressed Ami.
"Ami, that time I think you went crazy."
"I think I'm going to be great friends with you!" said Hermione.
"We think so too," said Ginny.
"So, have you ever heard of Harry?" asked Ron.
"Um, no. Why?" asked Rei.
"You haven't!"
"Ron don't be so rude!" said Hermione.
"Hermione! They haven't heard!!!"
"Oh, here it is! There's a whole page on you Harry!" said Ami holding up the book.
"There's a page on him?! Wow! I didn't know they had a page on you! Must a be a new edition," said Hermione.
Harry just kept quiet and kept on looking at the ground.
Slide.
The door opened.
"Well if it isn't Potty and his little Fan Club."
"Shove it Malfoy," said Ron.
Malfoy ignored him and turned to face Chibi-Usa.
"Allying yourself with kiddies now are you?" sneered Malfoy.
"I'm not a kiddie!!!!" fumed Chibi-Usa.
"I can tell that your new members are mudbloods."
"Mudbloods?!" yelled Mako.
"Yeah, people who don't know anything!"
A vein popped out of the SM gang.
"How dare you call us mudbloods. Our blood is more purer than yours will ever be," whispered Helios.
"Purer then mine? Yeah right oldie!"
"He's not old!" yelled Chibi-Usa.
"Well not too old, if you know what I mean," whispered Mina to Usagi as she nodded.
Harry heard this and was now wondering.
"What about the white hair then?"
"I was born this way," said Helios.
"Pft! Yeah right mudbloods!"
"I'll show you!" said Mako as she punched him out of the compartment and closed the door.
"I don't think we should've done that. What if we get in trouble?!" stressed Hermione.
"We won't."
"So what's your name, kitty?" said Ginny while patting Diana.
"Her name's Diana," said Chibi-Usa
"And this is Luna and Artemis," said Usagi.
"I've never seen cats with a moon on their forehead," said Ron suspiciously.
"Oh uh, it's something we did at Japan by accident," said Mina.
The HP gang nodded in understandment.
"So what year are you going to be in?" Harry spoke up.
"We're all in sixth year except for Chibi-Usa and Helios, they'll be in third year," said Usagi.
"How about you?" said Rei.
"Sixth year but Ginny's in fifth," said Ron.
They were about to continue their conversation when a voice echoed throughout the train.
"We will be arriving in ten minutes. Please put on your robes and leave your luggage on the train. It will be transferred into the school."
"We better get changed," said Ami.
"Yeah."
"Hey, where are all your things?" asked Ginny.
"Oh we shrunk them and put it in our pockets!" said Ami.
They knew that no one that didn't know about the Sailor Senshi was to know about their subspace pocket.
The HP gang nodded.
They took turns changing then all settled back in the compartment.
The train stopped and everyone got off.
"We'll be right behind you! We just need to leave our luggage on the train!" said Mako.
Ron, Hermione and Ginny nodded but Harry was already making his way over to the carriages.
"What's wrong with Harry?" asked Chibi-Usa to Ginny.
"Oh you see, Voldemort kinda killed his godfather and he really loved him so he's really sad," said Ginny before the HP gang left.
"Poor Harry," said Rei as the others look out their luggage and left the train.
"Firs' years and transfers, ova' ere'!!!" boomed Hagrid.
"Hi Hagrid!" said Usagi.
"Hello there! I remember you! I helped you and your friends to Diagon Alley!"
"Hey, what are those things?" asked Chibi-Usa pointing to the ghost like creatures.
"You can see them?" asked Hagrid.
"Yeah, so what. I bet you all can!"
"Well I can," said Ami.
"Same here," said Mako.
"Me too!" said Usagi.
"Us too," said Mina indicating her, Rei and Helios.
"They're Thestrals. They pull the carriages to Hogwarts. Only people who have seen death can see them."
"That explains then."
"You've seen death?"
"Yes, throughout our life."
Hagrid felt really sorry for them now.
"We better get going," said Rei.
"Rei, what's wrong?" asked Usagi once they were on the boats.
Usagi, Chibi-Usa, Rei and Helios were on one while Mina, Ami and Mako shared with two other first year students.
"I don't think we should've come here," said Rei.
"Why not?"
"I have a bad feeling about this. We haven't even asked Setsuna about this. She does know more than we do."
"Then that would mean," started Helios.
"We would have to use our powers sooner or later," finished Usagi.
"I guess we can't run from it," said Chibi-Usa.
"You'll be getting' ya firs' look at Hogwarts in a moment," boomed Hagrid's voice.
Usagi looked up and saw a beautiful castle. She gaped and looked over at Chibi-Usa. She too was gaping.
"That's the castle!" whispered Rei to Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Ami.
"Are you sure that something bad might happen Rei? This is our school!" said Chibi-Usa.
"It may been attacked later. We better keep our senses alert."
"It's just like old times," said Usagi.
The boats came to a stop and all the students got out.
Mina,Ami and Mako rushed over to Usagi and others.
"Can you believe it?! We're going to practically live in it!!" said Mina, joyfully.
"I bet their kitchen is real big and their greenhouse too!!" said Mako.
They all sweat dropped.
"Ano, wouldn't they have plants that are real? As in that can walk and talk and make horrible noise?" asked Ami.
"Aw, it can't be that bad!"
The rest of the gang was still not sure of how Mako would act when they get into the castle. They had heard that the greenhouses were REALLY big.
They all walked into the castle to notice that some pictures moved and so did the coats of armour.
"Everything here sure likes to be alive," whispered Helios.
"Yeah," said Chibi-Usa.
"First years Hagrid?"
Usagi looked up. A stern looking witch wearing emerald robes and a pointed witches hat was standing on top of the stairs.
"Yes Professor McGonagall!" said Hagrid.
"I'll take it from here then. Follow me."
She turned around and walked up the stairs. The first years shrugged and followed her.
They walked up stair after stair until they reached a large set or doors. McGonagall turned around.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Behind this door is the Great Hall where the sorting will be held. There are four houses named after their founders. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. During your stay here, your housemates will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points while any rule breaking will lose you points.
The sorting will begin momentarily. Stay here and smarten yourselves up while I'm gone."
McGonagall left.
"I wonder how you get sorted," pondered Chibi-Usa.
The girls decided to spook out Chibi-Usa.
"I heard that you have to undergo a test! A most fearful one too!!" spooked out Mako in Japanese hoping not to scare the other students.
"I read that you have to tackle down a beast and show your greatest powers, from there on the headmaster would decide where you would go in," said Ami. [Japanese]
"That's right! And if you failed, you would be thrown you of the school," said Rei. [Japanese]
"And if you just make it in and you're weak, you get teased by most of the students," said Mina. [Japanese]
Usagi, believing everything she hears, got totally spooked out.
"R-really?" said Usagi. [Japanese]
"Lies," said Helios. [Japanese]
"Aww! You ruined all the fun!" whined Mina. [Japanese]
Creak.
The doors open wide and Professor McGonagall was standing at the doorway.
"We're ready for you," said McGonagall.
The students walked into the Hall and gasped or gaped.
There were floating candles and a sky like ceiling!
"Sugoi!" whispered Usagi.
She then turned to the Gryffindor table and saw Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny waving at them. They waved back.
"When I call out your names you will put on the hat and you will be sorted. The transfer students will go first"
Chibi-Usa and Usagi sweat dropped.
'That's all you do,' thought Chibi-Usa.
'I'm going to have to tell the girls off for this,' thought Usagi.
"Aino, Minako."
Mina walked up to the stool and sat down, soon there was a hat on her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled out the hat before anything could happen.
"Helios."
'You are very weird. Oh? What's this? You want to protect your friend. You are very loyal indeed.'
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Hino, Rei"
Rei walked up to the stool and put on the hat.
'You can tell the future I see.'
Before she could respond the hat yelled out "GRYFINDOR!"
"Kino, Mako."
Lita put on the hat and it screamed out "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Mitchiko, Yamaziha."
A girl with straight marine blue shoulder length hair put on the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Mitchiko, Yukino."
Another girl put on the hat. She had wavy dark blond hair that went just below the shoulders.
"GRYFFINOR!"
"Mizuno, Ami."
'Smart but brave.'
"GRYFFINOR!"
"Tsukino, Chibi-Usa."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Tsukino, Usagi."
'Gryffindor is the definite place for you.'
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Yomiko, Arashi."
A girl with long straight black hair with blue highlights put on the hat.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The Mitchiko sisters looked real surprised.
Next the first years were sorted and Dumbledor's speech was now being said.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! The forest on the side of the grounds is the Forbidden Forest and is of coarse forbidden! All the items that have been banned are posted outside Mr. Filch's office and please welcome our new transfer students! Please welcome them warmly in our country. There is a new DADA teacher from Japan, Professor Hakari Akizuki! Also there will be a new Muggle Study Teacher! Professor Yukio Hiroko! Also, as you know from your lists, for third years and up, Muggle Studies is compulsory. There is also a Ministry of Magic representative to make sure the transfer students are safe. I'm sure you all know Dolores Umbridge. They will arrive shortly," said Dumbledor.
The hall was dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Seconds passed and whispering started among the students and the teachers. It looked like the teachers didn't know about this.
Creak.
The doors opened to reveal Umbridge, a lady with short straight black hair with green highlights and Yukio Hiroko.
"Ah, they have arrived! This is the new DADA Professor, Hakari Akizuki along with our Muggle Study Professor, Yukio Hiroko and you all know, Dolores Umbridge," said Dumbledor.
Akizuki took a seat next Snape while Yukio and Umbridge took a seat next to Trelawney.
"Now, let the feast begin!"
Food appeared on the tables and Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Mako looked like they were in heaven.
"Sugoi!!" they all said in unison.
"If this much food appears every meal time, you won't be able to study properly!!" said Ami.
"Come on Ami! Lighten up!" said Mako.
Ami started bickering with Mako.
"It's like there's two Hermione's!!!" said Ron.
"And what's that suppose to mean?" hissed Hermione.
"Oh nothing!"
"Hi! We're Fred and George Weasley, Ronnikins bigger brothers!!" said the twin together.
"Yes older brothers who have repeated a year at Hogwarts because you failed to complete last year!!" said Hermione.
Usagi looked beside her and saw the two other transfer students. Yukino and Yamaziha Mitchiko.
"Hi! My name's Usagi Tsukino!"
The two girls looked at her alarmed.
"Um is anything wrong?" asked Usagi.
"Oh, nothing is wrong, it's just that nobody has really spoken to us except for our friends. One is in Slytherin, Arashi Yomiko, and the other is a teacher. Hakari Akizuki," said Yukino.
"And we heard that rivalry is shone between Gryffindor and Slytherin so now we don't really have that many people to talk to now," said Yamaziha.
"Hey, why don't you hang out with us?" said Usagi.
"You wouldn't mind?"
"Not at all! Hey guys! I want you to meet Yukino and Yamaziha Mitchiko!"
"Hi! My name's Mina Aino."
"I'm Chibi-Usa Tsukino!"
"Rei Hino."
"Mako Kino!"
"I'm Ami Mizuno!"
"Helios."
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Harry Potter."
"Ron Weasley."
"Nice to meet you all!" said Yukino.
"What year are you going to be in?" asked Ami.
"Sixth."
"Same here!" said Mako.
"What year are you going to be in, Chibi-Usa, Helios?"
"We're going to be in third."
"Our friends that's in Slytherin will be in that year too!" said Yukino.
"Oh good! I'm glad we're not alone."
"Um, Chibi-Usa," started Hermione.
"What?"
"There's something you should know."
"There's rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin. We don't talk to each other. We don't have anything to do with each other!" fumed Ron.
"People in Slytherin hate us and we hate them," said Ginny.
"But can't we talk to them?" asked Chibi-Usa.
"We can't. They are horrible and mean to us and we do mini duels in DADA sometimes."
"The most horrible Slytherin is Draco Malfoy."
"And he's the guy from the train right?"
"Yep."
"And it looks to me you can't even go near her," said Harry, pointing to the Slytherin table.
Draco Malfoy was talking to Arashi.
Chibi-Usa was crestfallen.
"I still don't see why rivalries are so important in this place," said Helios as he went back to staring at the food.
~Slytherin Table~
"I can't believe that most of the students went into Gryffindor!" said Draco.
"Well at least we got one girl," said Pansy.
Draco looked down and the end of the table.
Arashi was sitting alone and the end of the table, closest to the staff table, eating by herself.
"Is it just me or is she looking a bit sad that she was sorted into this house," said Pansy.
Pansy and Draco were never in love or boyfriend and girlfriend. Pansy only clung onto Draco because she wanted Draco to have a nice girl as a girlfriend. By clinging onto him, the girls would go away from him.
"No, I see it too. We better set things straight."
Pansy and Draco got up and walked over to Arashi.
Arashi was eating peacefully until a shadow dawned over her. She looked up to see a boy and a girl.
"Yes?" said Arashi.
"You're Arashi Yomiko right?" said Draco.
"Yes."
"And you're in Slytherin, right?" said Pansy.
"Yes."
"Then start behaving like one or else!"
"Or else what?"
"Is there something wrong here?"
Draco and Pansy looked up to see Professor Akizuki.
"No professor."
"Then you better sit back down with your own friends," said Akizuki.
They nodded and walked away.
Akizuki turned to Arashi.
"Is everything all right?"
"Hai. I really don't want to be in Slytherin. Baka hat," said Arashi.
Akizuki laughed.
"If you need anything, you can ask me, Yukino or Yamaziha."
"Arigato Hakari-san."
"It's alright!" said Akizuki and did a V sign. "I better talk to them and tell them that they can talk to you and all!"
"I really hate being stuck between rivals."
"We all do. Do you want me to eat with you sometimes?"
"If you don't mind. It'll be like old time when you were still in school and I was a freshman."
"Yeah and back then we had little but grown up Bunny and the others."
"I wish we can speak with them again."
"You can't. We have to stay on track."
"Can we visit them in their dreams?"
"I don't see why not."
"Great! I wouldn't mind talking to Chibi-Usa again."
Akizuki nodded and walked to the Gryffindor table.
"Yamaziha, Yukino. Can I talk to you?"
"Hai."
Yamaziha and Yukino got up and walked towards Akizuki.
"Can you speak to Arashi whenever she's alone? I think her housemates might do something horrible to her."
"Of coarse Hakari! We are friends," said Yukino.
"You're too cheerful," said Yamaziha.
"That's great! I'm going to eat with her now. Ja."
"Ja Ne!"
Yamaziha and Yukino walked back to the Gryffindor table.
"What did Professor Akizuki want?" asked Hermione.
"Oh nothing much."
"Hey Hermione, what so bad about Professor Umbridge? The whole room was silent during Dumbledor's speech and I saw angry and scared faces," said Ami.
"She's horrible! Her detentions gave Harry scars and she even tried to fire Dumbledor!" said Ron.
"And the end of last year we left her in the forbidden forest and I thought she would be too scared to come back here," said Ginny.
"Well, she's back and we're going to have to go through another year of torture," said Hermione.
Cling, Cling, Cling!
"Now that we have been watered and fed, time for the school song!" said Dumbledor and the school started to sing.
"This sounds really bad," said Mina during the school song.
"Tell me about," said Rei.
"Now you better go off to bed now. Tomorrow your classes will start," said Dumbledor.

"Thanks. Um, can Harry Ron and his sister sit here too?"

"Firs' years and transfers, ova' ere'!!!" boomed Hagrid.
"Hi Hagrid!" said Usagi.
"Hello there! I remember you! I helped you and your friends to Diagon Alley!"
"Hey, what are those things?" asked Chibi-Usa pointing to the ghost like creatures.
"You can see them?" asked Hagrid.

"Ano, wouldn't they have plants that are real? As in that can walk and talk and make horrible noise?" asked Ami.
"Aw, it can't be that bad!"
The rest of the gang was still not sure of how Mako would act when they get into the castle. They had heard that the greenhouses were REALLY big.
They all walked into the castle to notice that some pictures moved and so did the coats of armour.
"Everything here sure likes to be alive," whispered Helios.
"Yeah," said Chibi-Usa.
"First years Hagrid?"
Usagi looked up. A stern looking witch wearing emerald robes and a pointed witches hat was standing on top of the stairs.
"Yes Professor McGonagall!" said Hagrid.
"I'll take it from here then. Follow me."
She turned around and walked up the stairs. The first years shrugged and followed her.
They walked up stair after stair until they reached a large set or doors. McGonagall turned around.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Behind this door is the Great Hall where the sorting will be held. There are four houses named after their founders. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. During your stay here, your housemates will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points while any rule breaking will lose you points.
The sorting will begin momentarily. Stay here and smarten yourselves up while I'm gone."
McGonagall left.
"I wonder how you get sorted," pondered Chibi-Usa.
The girls decided to spook out Chibi-Usa.
"I heard that you have to undergo a test! A most fearful one too!!" spooked out Mako in Japanese hoping not to scare the other students.
"I read that you have to tackle down a beast and show your greatest powers, from there on the headmaster would decide where you would go in," said Ami. [Japanese]
"That's right! And if you failed, you would be thrown you of the school," said Rei. [Japanese]
"And if you just make it in and you're weak, you get teased by most of the students," said Mina. [Japanese]
Usagi, believing everything she hears, got totally spooked out.
"R-really?" said Usagi. [Japanese]
"Lies," said Helios. [Japanese]
"Aww! You ruined all the fun!" whined Mina. [Japanese]
Creak.
The doors open wide and Professor McGonagall was standing at the doorway.
"We're ready for you," said McGonagall.
The students walked into the Hall and gasped or gaped.
There were floating candles and a sky like ceiling!
"Sugoi!" whispered Usagi.
She then turned to the Gryffindor table and saw Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny waving at them. They waved back.
"When I call out your names you will put on the hat and you will be sorted. The transfer students will go first"
Chibi-Usa and Usagi sweat dropped.
'That's all you do,' thought Chibi-Usa.
'I'm going to have to tell the girls off for this,' thought Usagi.
"Aino, Minako."
Mina walked up to the stool and sat down, soon there was a hat on her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled out the hat before anything could happen.
"Helios."
'You are very weird. Oh? What's this? You want to protect your friend. You are very loyal indeed.'
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Hino, Rei"
Rei walked up to the stool and put on the hat.
'You can tell the future I see.'
Before she could respond the hat yelled out "GRYFINDOR!"
"Kino, Mako."
Lita put on the hat and it screamed out "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Mitchiko, Yamaziha."
A girl with straight marine blue shoulder length hair put on the hat.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Mitchiko, Yukino."
Another girl put on the hat. She had wavy dark blond hair that went just below the shoulders.
"GRYFFINOR!"
"Mizuno, Ami."
'Smart but brave.'
"GRYFFINOR!"
"Tsukino, Chibi-Usa."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Tsukino, Usagi."
'Gryffindor is the definite place for you.'
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Yomiko, Arashi."
A girl with long straight black hair with blue highlights put on the hat.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The Mitchiko sisters looked real surprised.
Next the first years were sorted and Dumbledor's speech was now being said.
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! The forest on the side of the grounds is the Forbidden Forest and is of coarse forbidden! All the items that have been banned are posted outside Mr. Filch's office and please welcome our new transfer students! Please welcome them warmly in our country. There is a new DADA teacher from Japan, Professor Hakari Akizuki! Also there will be a new Muggle Study Teacher! Professor Yukio Hiroko! Also, as you know from your lists, for third years and up, Muggle Studies is compulsory. There is also a Ministry of Magic representative to make sure the transfer students are safe. I'm sure you all know Dolores Umbridge. They will arrive shortly," said Dumbledor.
The hall was dead silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Seconds passed and whispering started among the students and the teachers. It looked like the teachers didn't know about this.
Creak.
The doors opened to reveal Umbridge, a lady with short straight black hair with green highlights and Yukio Hiroko.
"Ah, they have arrived! This is the new DADA Professor, Hakari Akizuki along with our Muggle Study Professor, Yukio Hiroko and you all know, Dolores Umbridge," said Dumbledor.
Akizuki took a seat next Snape while Yukio and Umbridge took a seat next to Trelawney.
"Now, let the feast begin!"
Food appeared on the tables and Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Mako looked like they were in heaven.
"Sugoi!!" they all said in unison.
"If this much food appears every meal time, you won't be able to study properly!!" said Ami.
"Come on Ami! Lighten up!" said Mako.
Ami started bickering with Mako.
"It's like there's two Hermione's!!!" said Ron.
"And what's that suppose to mean?" hissed Hermione.
"Oh nothing!"
"Hi! We're Fred and George Weasley, Ronnikins bigger brothers!!" said the twin together.
"Yes older brothers who have repeated a year at Hogwarts because you failed to complete last year!!" said Hermione.
Usagi looked beside her and saw the two other transfer students. Yukino and Yamaziha Mitchiko.
"Hi! My name's Usagi Tsukino!"
The two girls looked at her alarmed.
"Um is anything wrong?" asked Usagi.
"Oh, nothing is wrong, it's just that nobody has really spoken to us except for our friends. One is in Slytherin, Arashi Yomiko, and the other is a teacher. Hakari Akizuki," said Yukino.
"And we heard that rivalry is shone between Gryffindor and Slytherin so now we don't really have that many people to talk to now," said Yamaziha.
"Hey, why don't you hang out with us?" said Usagi.
"You wouldn't mind?"
"Not at all! Hey guys! I want you to meet Yukino and Yamaziha Mitchiko!"
"Hi! My name's Mina Aino."
"I'm Chibi-Usa Tsukino!"
"Rei Hino."
"Mako Kino!"
"I'm Ami Mizuno!"
"Helios."
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Harry Potter."
"Ron Weasley."
"Nice to meet you all!" said Yukino.
"What year are you going to be in?" asked Ami.
"Sixth."
"Same here!" said Mako.
"What year are you going to be in, Chibi-Usa, Helios?"
"We're going to be in third."
"Our friends that's in Slytherin will be in that year too!" said Yukino.
"Oh good! I'm glad we're not alone."
"Um, Chibi-Usa," started Hermione.
"What?"
"There's something you should know."
"There's rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin. We don't talk to each other. We don't have anything to do with each other!" fumed Ron.
"People in Slytherin hate us and we hate them," said Ginny.
"But can't we talk to them?" asked Chibi-Usa.
"We can't. They are horrible and mean to us and we do mini duels in DADA sometimes."
"The most horrible Slytherin is Draco Malfoy."
"And he's the guy from the train right?"
"Yep."
"And it looks to me you can't even go near her," said Harry, pointing to the Slytherin table.
Draco Malfoy was talking to Arashi.
Chibi-Usa was crestfallen.
"I still don't see why rivalries are so important in this place," said Helios as he went back to staring at the food.
~Slytherin Table~
"I can't believe that most of the students went into Gryffindor!" said Draco.
"Well at least we got one girl," said Pansy.
Draco looked down and the end of the table.
Arashi was sitting alone and the end of the table, closest to the staff table, eating by herself.
"Is it just me or is she looking a bit sad that she was sorted into this house," said Pansy.
Pansy and Draco were never in love or boyfriend and girlfriend. Pansy only clung onto Draco because she wanted Draco to have a nice girl as a girlfriend. By clinging onto him, the girls would go away from him.
"No, I see it too. We better set things straight."
Pansy and Draco got up and walked over to Arashi.
Arashi was eating peacefully until a shadow dawned over her. She looked up to see a boy and a girl.
"Yes?" said Arashi.
"You're Arashi Yomiko right?" said Draco.
"Yes."
"And you're in Slytherin, right?" said Pansy.
"Yes."
"Then start behaving like one or else!"
"Or else what?"
"Is there something wrong here?"
Draco and Pansy looked up to see Professor Akizuki.
"No professor."
"Then you better sit back down with your own friends," said Akizuki.
They nodded and walked away.
Akizuki turned to Arashi.
"Is everything all right?"
"Hai. I really don't want to be in Slytherin. Baka hat," said Arashi.
Akizuki laughed.
"If you need anything, you can ask me, Yukino or Yamaziha."
"Arigato Hakari-san."
"It's alright!" said Akizuki and did a V sign. "I better talk to them and tell them that they can talk to you and all!"
"I really hate being stuck between rivals."
"We all do. Do you want me to eat with you sometimes?"
"If you don't mind. It'll be like old time when you were still in school and I was a freshman."
"Yeah and back then we had little but grown up Bunny and the others."
"I wish we can speak with them again."
"You can't. We have to stay on track."
"Can we visit them in their dreams?"
"I don't see why not."
"Great! I wouldn't mind talking to Chibi-Usa again."
Akizuki nodded and walked to the Gryffindor table.
"Yamaziha, Yukino. Can I talk to you?"
"Hai."
Yamaziha and Yukino got up and walked towards Akizuki.
"Can you speak to Arashi whenever she's alone? I think her housemates might do something horrible to her."
"Of coarse Hakari! We are friends," said Yukino.
"You're too cheerful," said Yamaziha.
"That's great! I'm going to eat with her now. Ja."
"Ja Ne!"
Yamaziha and Yukino walked back to the Gryffindor table.
"What did Professor Akizuki want?" asked Hermione.
"Oh nothing much."
"Hey Hermione, what so bad about Professor Umbridge? The whole room was silent during Dumbledor's speech and I saw angry and scared faces," said Ami.
"She's horrible! Her detentions gave Harry scars and she even tried to fire Dumbledor!" said Ron.
"And the end of last year we left her in the forbidden forest and I thought she would be too scared to come back here," said Ginny.
"Well, she's back and we're going to have to go through another year of torture," said Hermione.
Cling, Cling, Cling!
"Now that we have been watered and fed, time for the school song!" said Dumbledor and the school started to sing.
"This sounds really bad," said Mina during the school song.
"Tell me about," said Rei.
"Now you better go off to bed now. Tomorrow your classes will start," said Dumbledor.
