Chapter Six: Halloween!
It was the day of Halloween today! The Senshi had a bit of trouble on what they were going to where but they got their costumes in the end. Since Halloween was on a weekday, all lessons that day would be cancelled. Most of the students thought it was very happy news.
~Great Hall - Breakfast, 7:30 am~
The students walked into the Great Hall for breakfast only to notice that the staff had dressed up. Akizuki was wearing a blue sleeping beauty dress and Snape was wearing what he wore always but with a red cloak. Yukio was wearing a white dress with transparent wings stuck on her back. Albus was wearing what he always wore with a nametag that said 'God' while Minerva wore pants with a chain vest and a sword.
Dumbledor stood up and the Hall silenced.
"As you all know, today is Halloween and the Treasure Hunt! The Hunt should take about two hours. The younger year's treasure hunt will be held during the day while the older years will be held more into the afternoon and night. The hunts will begin at 9 am so that will give the students a chance to get ready. The rules will be posted in the common room and Head of the Houses will read them out to you later. As you can see, most of the staff is dressed up! They will be at each clue where they will give you a question if you get it right you get the next clue! You can only answer two questions and a spell will be put on you to stop you from answering anymore.
The teachers insisted that we put some education in the Hunt. Hope you you've been paying attention in class! You may now eat," announced Dumbledor.
~Gryffindor Table~
"I can't wait for our turn to do the treasure hunt!" said Chibi-Usa.
"No fair Chibi-Usa. You get to go at 1 pm. We have to go at 7 pm," whined Usagi.
"Hey Usagi, what are you and the girls going as?" asked Hermione.
"Princesses!!" chimed all the Senshi.
"A Priest," said Helios.
"What are you going as Hermione, Ron, Harry?" asked Mina.
"I'm going as a Season Fairy. They're so cute!!" said Hermione.
Ron and Harry sweat dropped.
"I'm going as vampire," said Ron.
"I'm going as vampire as well since we can't be bothered choosing anything different," said Harry.
"Hey Yukino, Yamaziha. What you going as?" asked Rei.
"I'm going as the evil queen from Sleeping Beauty," said Yukino.
"I'm going as Cinderella when she is still a servant," said Yamaziha.
"Why?"
"Because I can't be bothered buying new clothes and my old clothes still fit me but are a bit ripped and out of color."
Everyone sweat dropped.
Ron was totally lost and was about to ask but Hermione silenced him.
"Muggle fairytales," said Hermione.
"Ooh," said Ron while nodding.
"What's Arashi going as?" asked Ami.
The sisters smirked.
"A Death Reaper."
Ron chocked on his eggs.
"A Death Reaper?!"
"Yeah! Doesn't it just suits her well?"
Harry and Ron swapped uneasy glances.
~Staff Table~
"And just what you meant to be?" sneered Umbridge to Akizuki.
Umbridge really as in REALLY hated her now.
"Oh, you wouldn't know her. You would think that even dressing up like her would be disgusting and filthy," said Akizuki coolly.
"Try me."
"Sleeping Beauty. Muggle fairytale."
Umbridge's face was a face that read disgust.
"And what are you trying to dress up as?" asked Umbridge to Albus and Minerva.
"Well...I'm god and Minerva is Joan of Arc. It fits us perfectly because Joan of Arc had a close relationship to god, me!" said Albus cheerfully.
"Well I really must go. I have a very important meeting with the Minister, not like you would ever be as important as me."
"What? Being his slut."
SLAP!
"I wouldn't be talking," sneered Umbridge. "I, unlike you, have power and I can fire you at will."
"Oh no you can't for you see," started Akizuki while standing up. She was much taller than Umbridge and her eyes were ice blue. "I am more powerful than you once you think about it. Heck, the whole staff is much more powerful than you. When the time comes, you would wish you didn't slap me across the face. And I thought you hated muggle ways."
Unknown to the other Staff, her eyes flickered to red for a moment then went beck to ice blue. Umbridge was terrified now but she tried not to show it. She tried.
Akizuki sat back down.
The staff felt like cheering and celebrating.
"And it's not a threat," added Akizuki.
Umbridge swallowed and muttered under her breath that sounded like 'the minister will hear about this' and walked out of the hall.
The staff kept quiet for a moment.
"I'm so glad that someone told her off good," said McGonagall smiling.
"She was getting on my nerves big time. She's such a snob!"
"She's always like tha'. Las' year was horrible ta' me," said Hagrid.
"What did she do?"
"It was terrible! She sent curses and hexes at him because he was half giant," said Madam Pomfrey.
"Eh! Really! I find giants are really nice and fascinating! Why are so many people afraid of them, I really don't know. Besides, your nice so they shouldn't be totally afraid of them," said Akizuki with a warm smile.
A silent tear fell down Hagrid's cheek. Yep, the staff sure loved the DADA Professor.
But, all things must come to an end and they knew it. Something will surely stop her from coming next year. They could feel it. Hoping nothing too bad would happen, they continued talking and how Toad fired Trelawney and Dumbledor, harmed many students and how she was left in the Forbidden Forest all alone with Centaurs.
Akizuki laughed at that.
"So what are you dressed up as?" asked Akizuki to Severus.
"A muggle Fairytale character by the name of Dracula."
"It suits you!"
Even though the Dark Lord had risen, the staff wouldn't even let him get into their worries.
They had been talking for so long that they realized that most of the hall had left.
Each occupant of the table got up and left to their places.
~Gryffindor Common Room~

"Typical, just typical," said Hermione.
"What's wrong?" asked Ron.
"Should have known that Snape would make his color black."
Harry and Ron sweat dropped.
"Hey Usagi! Want to verse me in a game of wizards chess?" said Ron.
"Uh-uh! I hate chess!!! Maybe you should ask Ami! She's an excellent chess player. Wizards chess can't be any different."
"Okay. Ami want to verse me?"
"Okay. I don't see any harm in it."
So they set it up and Ron explained the rules to Ami.
The SM gang and the HP gang crowded around the two.
So far, Ami was winning.
"Knight to E3 and Checkmate!" said Ami as the knight smashed Ron's king down.
"Yeah!!! Go Ami!!!" cheered Usagi.
"Want another game?" asked Ami to Ron who looked flabbergasted along with Harry and Hermione.
"Deal!"
Two hours later, it was official that Ami had beaten Ron at Wizards Chess. She won 7-0.
It was noon.
"Mina, can you help me get ready?" asked Chibi-Usa.
"Of coarse! Why don't we all help!!!" said Mina to the SM gang.
"Yeah!!!" they all cheered, grabbed Chibi-Usa and slammed their dorm door shut.
"I'm worried about Chibi-Usa. Who knows what they will do to poor Chibi- Usa," said Hermione sympathetically.
~Senshi's Dorm~
"So Chibi-Usa, show us your dress!!" said Usagi.
"Yeah. You chose your dress without us so we didn't get to see it and then you locked it away! Show us Chibi-Usa!" said Mina.
Chibi-Usa nodded and opened her closet. There was a lovely pink dress that clung to her body and flowed freely from waist down to the ground. The sleeves were made out of a nice light pink see-through material that split in half so it would be easier to move around. The collar was V-neck with her heart brooch at the bottom of the V. Behind the brooch was a lovely bow with ribbons attached to it. Next to the dress were pink glass slippers.
"Geez Chibi-Usa! That must have cost a fortune!!!" said Mako.
"I didn't have to pay for it. It was from mama. She gave it to me a long time ago as a present for my birthday. She also said that I could put my brooch here incase I needed to transform and it would make it pretty."
"Wow Chibi-Usa, it's really pretty. I didn't spend too much time on my costume because I had to study," said Ami.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Whaat?! I can't believe my future self gave you this!!!" cried Usagi.
"Usagi, what are you complaining about?" asked Rei.
"I want it!!!"
"Stop being so mean!! Your future self gave it to her! You shouldn't want it!!!" scolded Rei as she smacked Usagi over the head.
Usagi started to cry.
"Why d you have to be so mean?!!"
"Someone has to whip you into shape."
"I suppose."
"Uh guys, maybe you should help Chibi-Usa over here. Someone has to do her hair and all. We can't do it all by ourselves!!" said Mina.
They nodded and helped Chibi-Usa into her dress. They only put on lip-gloss on her face because they didn't want to over do it.
"Something's missing," said Mako.
They all thought for a while until Mina snapped her figures.
"Jewelry!!!"
So they raided the room for any jewelry that Chibi-Usa could use.
"Hey guys, there's really no need," said Chibi-Usa.
"How come?"
"I already got some!"
They all fell over anime style.
Chibi-Usa took out a box and opened it. There laid a pair of lovely moon earrings, moon necklace with a pink stone on the tip of the moon, a diamond bracelet and a tiara.
"Wow Chibi-Usa! Did Neo-Queen Serenity give you those too?" asked Luna.
"Yep!" said Chibi-Usa while putting them on.
"I can't believe I'm giving Chibi-Usa so much!!" whined Usagi.
Everyone ignored her.
"Well it's lunch now so you'll have your Treasure Hunt after lunch. Come one," said Mina.
~Great Hall~
When they entered the hall, they noticed that most of the Staff was missing so they sat down at the Gryffindor table.
Chibi-Usa looked over to the Slytherin table at Arashi but she wasn't there yet so she started eating. Soon Harry, Ron and Hermione sat next to them and commented how nice Chibi-Usa's dress was.
Helios came in a second later in his priest robes just without his horn in his head.
A couple more minutes later, the doors opened and Arashi, Yamaziha, Yukino and Professor Akizuki walked in. The whole hall went silent. Why? Well Arashi was wearing a black robe with the hood over her head and was holding a Death Glaive. Arashi and Akizuki went over to the Slytherin table and sat down while the sisters sat down with the SM and HP gang.
"Hey Yukino. Is that a real Death Glaive?" asked Chibi-Usa.
Yukino nodded.
"How did she get a hold of a real Death Glaive?! It's dangerous!!!" said Ron.
"Oh we managed to get it from her close relative of hers," said Yamaziha.
"I better get going now," said Chibi-Usa as she left the Hall.
"Bye."
~Two Hours later in the Gryffindor Common Room~
"Hey guys!!!"
Usagi and gang, Harry and gang and the sisters turned to look at the source of voice.
"Hi Chibi-Usa!" said Ami.
"Was it fun Chibi-Usa?" asked Ron.
"Was it easy?" whispered Usagi.
"Usagi, of coarse it would be easy for her! She reviewed over my notes," said Ami.
"Ami!! How could you let Chibi-Usa review over year six notes!!!"
"You never know what can appear in the questions. Now get studying Usagi!!!!"
"Ami!!! Can't we have a break?!"
"No time for breaks! We've only got four more hours left study!!"
"Uh Ami. We've got Dinner at 6:30," reminded Harry.
"More reason to study!! We've only got three and a half hours left to study!!!"
"We do have to get ready you know," said Yukino.
"And that would take and hour or so too!!" said Mina.
"Fine!!! Study for two more hours and then you can go and start to get ready!!!"
"Thank you!!!"
"She's more harder than Hermione!!" whined Ron.
"You're just lucky that I won't be AS hard as her," warned Hermione.
"Hey, Where's Helios?" asked Usagi.
"Oh he had to return the medals to the teachers. He volunteered."
~5:00pm~
"Well, it's time to get ready now and you're coming with us Ami!!" said Mako as she and the girls grabbed her and left.
~Senshi's Dorm~
Each girl pulled out their dress and got changed.
Ami's was a nice light blue dress that went to the floor. The dress had Mercury sign shaped sapphire on the V-neck collar and the sleeves were three quarter length. She too had glass slippers same as Rini but they were blue.
Rei's dress was red that went to the floor as well. The sleeves clung well to the arms to the elbow but then flowed freely. She had no collar only double red fairly thin straps with two Ruby crystals in the sign of Mars clipped to the straps to hold them together. Her slippers were red.
Mina's was a long light yellow dress with a halter neck collar. The dress was sleeveless and she had a gold heart belt with an amber crystal shaped in the Venus sign dangling from the end of the belt. Her slippers were yellow.
Mako's dress was green and flowed to the floor. Her dress didn't have a collar, only straps with bows on the shoulder where she tied it. There were two Jupiter sign shaped emerald crystals dangling from the bows. Her slippers were green.
Usagi's was a long dress, which white, made out of silk and had gold trimmings. The bottom of the dress was frilly and had Sakura petals on it. It had a boat neck collar and had sleeves down to the wrist. At the back of her dress was a big bow with ribbons coming out of it like the bow that Neo- Queen Serenity had. Her slippers were just plain clear glass slippers.
"Yeah right Ami. Didn't spend that much time and money on the dress eh," said Usagi slyly.
"Okay, so maybe I spent half an hour or so at the dress shop," said Ami.
They all fell over.
"All your dresses look so pretty!" said Chibi-Usa.
"Thanks Chibi-Usa," said Rei.
"We better get our hair done now," said Mina.
They all started to do each other's hair.
Ami's hair was like normal only she had clips in her hair that had star shaped sapphires on them.
Rei had a headband on that had star shaped rubies on it.
Mina had her hair up in her usual style but her red bow had an amber star shaped crystal on it so you couldn't really se the knot.
Mako had her hair up in a ponytail as usual but had tied it up with a green hair tie with emerald star shaped crystal attached to it.
Usagi had her hair in her normal style but only tied her hair up with white hair ties with gold moons on them.
They each put on their tiara and slipped on some makeup.
"I think we're ready to go," said Usagi.
~Common Room~
Professor McGonagall had already cast the spell over the sixth year Gryffindors and was now giving them a sheet of clues.
"I usually don't say this but please beat Slytherin. They've already won one more than us and I really want to wipe the smirk off Professor's Snape's face," said McGonagall gritting her teeth together.
The Gryffindors stared at their Head in shock.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go figure out the first clue to your first checkpoint!"
"Yes ma'am!"
McGonagall nodded and walked off to her point.
The students crowded together to figure out the clues to the first clue point.
"Go to the coldest classroom in the school," read out Hermione.
"Well that would be obvious. Potions classroom. That place gives me the creeps," shivered Usagi.
"It gives everyone the creeps," said Neville.
"We better get going," said Mako as she made her way to the door.
~Potions Classroom~
"Well, well, well. You took your sweet time getting here didn't you?" sneered Snape.
"Just tell us the question Snape," said Rei.
Silence.
No one dared to move or talk. No one spoke to Snape that way.
"Your lucky that I can't take off points Hino!" growled Snape.
"Please Professor, just give us the question then the next clue," begged Hermione.
"Very well then. Name ten ingredients. No Miss Granger I'm not going to let you answer it. I'm going to let Longbottom answer it," smirked Snape.
Neville paled.
"P-powdered root of Asphodel, Wormwood, Bezoar, Monkshood, Wolfsbane, eye of Newt, Moonstone, Syrup of Hellebore, Shrivelfig and..."
He tried he really did but couldn't remember anymore.
"Tut, tut, tut. Can't remember anymore eh? Well I guess you can't get your next clue then. Looks like you're out of the contest," smirked Snape.
"Daisy Roots!!!"
Snape scowled then gave Neville a black necklace and handed them a piece of parchment with a lion and the number six on it.
"Go to the place where the fraud once was."
"Which fraud?"
"What do you mean which fraud?" snarled Snape.
"Trelawney or Lockheart?" said Hermione.
"I made the question so you guess."
"Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom it is then!" said Mina and she walked off.
After they walked off Snape cursed to himself.
"Damn! Didn't think they'll get it right."
~DADA Classroom~
"Hi hi!! Did Severus give you a hard time?" asked Akizuki when they came in late.
They all nodded.
"Well you better answer this question really quick and then run to the next clue point. Ok, here's the question. Name what the three Unforgivables are used for."
Everyone was surprised that Hermione didn't answer.
"What? You'll need me for Arithmacy and Ancient Runes you know," said Hermione matter of factly.
"Good point," said Harry.
"Answer please," said Akizuki.
"One is for controlling someone, killing someone and the last one is for torturing someone," said Dean since they were wasting time.
"Correct!"
She gave them the same parchment from Potions only a different question.
"The place where you can see the star consolations the best."
"To the Astronomy Tower!" yelled Yukino.
Akizuki gave Dean a silver necklace before they left.
~Astronomy Tower~
"Name two star consolations," said Sinistra.
"Orion's Belt and Sirius," said Yamaziha.
Harry sighed sadly at the mention of Sirius's name.
Rei saw this and held on to Harry's hand for encouragement.
"Correct."
Sinistra gave them the next clue.
"The teacher can turn into a cat."
"Transfiguration," said Ron.
Sinistra gave Yamaziha a white necklace.
~Transfiguration Classroom~
"Which House will win the House Cup this year?" asked McGonagall.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!!" cheered everyone.
"Well I don't really know who to give the necklace to. How about Hermione? I'm surprised you haven't got one yet."
McGonagall gave her the gold necklace before she could protest.
"Now here's the next clue," she said as she too gave the piece of parchment.
"The next classroom is a place where you can barely breathe in."
"Divination. I don't understand why her room has a strong scent. You don't need to predict the future with a stuffy room!" said Rei. "And if she keeps on predicting deaths, of coarse students will be dead! You can't breathe in the bloody room!"
Rei then walked out of the room with the others following closely and leaving a snickering Transfiguration Teacher.
~North Tower~
"Name three ways of predicting the future," said Trelawney mistily.
"Tarot Cards, Crystal Balls and Fire Readings!!!" chimed Lavender and Pavarti together.
"Correct!!!"
Trelawney gave them the next clue.
"The next place is where the wizarding sport is held."
"Quiddich Pitch then," said Dean.
Before they left Trelawney gave Pavarti and Lavender a purple bracelet instead of necklaces.
~Quiddich Pitch~
"Name me the team who won the World Cup recently," asked Hooch sharply.
"IRELAND!!!!" cheered Seamus.
"Correct!!!"
Hooch gave them the next clue and Seamus a maroon necklace.
"The teacher of this subject is half giant."
"Care of Magical Creatures then," said Ami.
~Hagrid's Hut~
"Name me one dangerous animal," said Hagrid.
"A Youma?" said Mina.
"I've heard of them before. They come from Japan right? Nasty evil little buggers. Correct!!"
Hagrid gave Mina a Brown necklace and the others the clue.
"A Ghost teaches this subject."
"To History!"
~Time Skip~
The next couple of subjects were easy.
Ami got History of Magic.
After that was Charms which Harry got.
Herbology was next. Mako got that easy.
Ancient Runes was next and Hermione got that one.
Next was Arithmacy, surprising everyone, Ami got.
And finally was Muggle Studies.
~Muggle Studies Classroom~
"Name the muggle devise that you can use to call people. It's like a telephone but this one is a special one where you can carry everywhere," said Yukio.
"A mobile!!!" said Usagi.
"Correct!"
Yukio gave Usagi, much to her liking, a pink necklace and the others a riddle that they had to solve.
"Go to the place where you started getting to know your housemates."
"What the bloody hell does that mean?!" asked Ron.
They were outside of the Muggle Studies classroom now with the clue in Hermione's hands. Professor Yukio let them keep the clue since all the other houses got to keep their last clue.
"Maybe it's like a Lateral Thinking Question. You have to think both laterally and positively. The answer usually pops up in my head," said Yukino.
They stood there thinking for ten minutes before both Hermione and Ami snapped their fingers and exclaimed "The Great Hall!" at the same time.
"Ok no offense but this is just getting spooky," said Ron inching slowing away from the two girls.
The others nodded in agreement.
"It's no time for idle chit-chat!" said Hermione.
"To the great Hall!!!" shouted Ami.
Everyone sweat dropped and followed them to.
They were now running to the Great Hall.
~Great Hall~
They got to the great hall with Usagi and the other Japanese transfers in front of them five minutes.
It looked like that Gryffindor had won that round!!!
~The Next Day – Breakfast~
Cling, Cling, Cling!
The hall went silent, all eager to find out who won.
"I am proud to say that both Slytherin and Gryffindor houses has come first!!! A tie!!" announced Dumbledor.
A very long stretch of silence.
"Slytherin had three wins, Gryffindor had three wins and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw got half each."
"What do you mean half each?!" yelled Malfoy.
Dumbledor chuckled.
"They both got to the Great Hall at the same time, both first so they deserve half points then.
So 2400 points go to both Gryffindor and Slytherin houses while Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw get 400 points!"

"Knight to E3 and Checkmate!" said Ami as the knight smashed Ron's king down.
"Yeah!!! Go Ami!!!" cheered Usagi.
"Want another game?" asked Ami to Ron who looked flabbergasted along with Harry and Hermione.
"Deal!"
Two hours later, it was official that Ami had beaten Ron at Wizards Chess. She won 7-0.
It was noon.
"Mina, can you help me get ready?" asked Chibi-Usa.
"Of coarse! Why don't we all help!!!" said Mina to the SM gang.
"Yeah!!!" they all cheered, grabbed Chibi-Usa and slammed their dorm door shut.
"I'm worried about Chibi-Usa. Who knows what they will do to poor Chibi- Usa," said Hermione sympathetically.
~Senshi's Dorm~
"So Chibi-Usa, show us your dress!!" said Usagi.
"Yeah. You chose your dress without us so we didn't get to see it and then you locked it away! Show us Chibi-Usa!" said Mina.
Chibi-Usa nodded and opened her closet. There was a lovely pink dress that clung to her body and flowed freely from waist down to the ground. The sleeves were made out of a nice light pink see-through material that split in half so it would be easier to move around. The collar was V-neck with her heart brooch at the bottom of the V. Behind the brooch was a lovely bow with ribbons attached to it. Next to the dress were pink glass slippers.
"Geez Chibi-Usa! That must have cost a fortune!!!" said Mako.
"I didn't have to pay for it. It was from mama. She gave it to me a long time ago as a present for my birthday. She also said that I could put my brooch here incase I needed to transform and it would make it pretty."
"Wow Chibi-Usa, it's really pretty. I didn't spend too much time on my costume because I had to study," said Ami.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Whaat?! I can't believe my future self gave you this!!!" cried Usagi.
"Usagi, what are you complaining about?" asked Rei.
"I want it!!!"
"Stop being so mean!! Your future self gave it to her! You shouldn't want it!!!" scolded Rei as she smacked Usagi over the head.
Usagi started to cry.
"Why d you have to be so mean?!!"
"Someone has to whip you into shape."
"I suppose."
"Uh guys, maybe you should help Chibi-Usa over here. Someone has to do her hair and all. We can't do it all by ourselves!!" said Mina.
They nodded and helped Chibi-Usa into her dress. They only put on lip-gloss on her face because they didn't want to over do it.
"Something's missing," said Mako.
They all thought for a while until Mina snapped her figures.
"Jewelry!!!"
So they raided the room for any jewelry that Chibi-Usa could use.
"Hey guys, there's really no need," said Chibi-Usa.
"How come?"
"I already got some!"
They all fell over anime style.
Chibi-Usa took out a box and opened it. There laid a pair of lovely moon earrings, moon necklace with a pink stone on the tip of the moon, a diamond bracelet and a tiara.
"Wow Chibi-Usa! Did Neo-Queen Serenity give you those too?" asked Luna.
"Yep!" said Chibi-Usa while putting them on.
"I can't believe I'm giving Chibi-Usa so much!!" whined Usagi.
Everyone ignored her.
"Well it's lunch now so you'll have your Treasure Hunt after lunch. Come one," said Mina.
~Great Hall~
When they entered the hall, they noticed that most of the Staff was missing so they sat down at the Gryffindor table.
Chibi-Usa looked over to the Slytherin table at Arashi but she wasn't there yet so she started eating. Soon Harry, Ron and Hermione sat next to them and commented how nice Chibi-Usa's dress was.
Helios came in a second later in his priest robes just without his horn in his head.
A couple more minutes later, the doors opened and Arashi, Yamaziha, Yukino and Professor Akizuki walked in. The whole hall went silent. Why? Well Arashi was wearing a black robe with the hood over her head and was holding a Death Glaive. Arashi and Akizuki went over to the Slytherin table and sat down while the sisters sat down with the SM and HP gang.
"Hey Yukino. Is that a real Death Glaive?" asked Chibi-Usa.
Yukino nodded.
"How did she get a hold of a real Death Glaive?! It's dangerous!!!" said Ron.
"Oh we managed to get it from her close relative of hers," said Yamaziha.
"I better get going now," said Chibi-Usa as she left the Hall.
"Bye."
~Two Hours later in the Gryffindor Common Room~
"Hey guys!!!"
Usagi and gang, Harry and gang and the sisters turned to look at the source of voice.
"Hi Chibi-Usa!" said Ami.
"Was it fun Chibi-Usa?" asked Ron.
"Was it easy?" whispered Usagi.
"Usagi, of coarse it would be easy for her! She reviewed over my notes," said Ami.
"Ami!! How could you let Chibi-Usa review over year six notes!!!"
"You never know what can appear in the questions. Now get studying Usagi!!!!"
"Ami!!! Can't we have a break?!"
"No time for breaks! We've only got four more hours left study!!"
"Uh Ami. We've got Dinner at 6:30," reminded Harry.
"More reason to study!! We've only got three and a half hours left to study!!!"
"We do have to get ready you know," said Yukino.
"And that would take and hour or so too!!" said Mina.
"Fine!!! Study for two more hours and then you can go and start to get ready!!!"
"Thank you!!!"
"She's more harder than Hermione!!" whined Ron.
"You're just lucky that I won't be AS hard as her," warned Hermione.
"Hey, Where's Helios?" asked Usagi.
"Oh he had to return the medals to the teachers. He volunteered."
~5:00pm~
"Well, it's time to get ready now and you're coming with us Ami!!" said Mako as she and the girls grabbed her and left.
~Senshi's Dorm~
Each girl pulled out their dress and got changed.
Ami's was a nice light blue dress that went to the floor. The dress had Mercury sign shaped sapphire on the V-neck collar and the sleeves were three quarter length. She too had glass slippers same as Rini but they were blue.
Rei's dress was red that went to the floor as well. The sleeves clung well to the arms to the elbow but then flowed freely. She had no collar only double red fairly thin straps with two Ruby crystals in the sign of Mars clipped to the straps to hold them together. Her slippers were red.
Mina's was a long light yellow dress with a halter neck collar. The dress was sleeveless and she had a gold heart belt with an amber crystal shaped in the Venus sign dangling from the end of the belt. Her slippers were yellow.
Mako's dress was green and flowed to the floor. Her dress didn't have a collar, only straps with bows on the shoulder where she tied it. There were two Jupiter sign shaped emerald crystals dangling from the bows. Her slippers were green.
Usagi's was a long dress, which white, made out of silk and had gold trimmings. The bottom of the dress was frilly and had Sakura petals on it. It had a boat neck collar and had sleeves down to the wrist. At the back of her dress was a big bow with ribbons coming out of it like the bow that Neo- Queen Serenity had. Her slippers were just plain clear glass slippers.
"Yeah right Ami. Didn't spend that much time and money on the dress eh," said Usagi slyly.
"Okay, so maybe I spent half an hour or so at the dress shop," said Ami.
They all fell over.
"All your dresses look so pretty!" said Chibi-Usa.
"Thanks Chibi-Usa," said Rei.
"We better get our hair done now," said Mina.
They all started to do each other's hair.
Ami's hair was like normal only she had clips in her hair that had star shaped sapphires on them.
Rei had a headband on that had star shaped rubies on it.
Mina had her hair up in her usual style but her red bow had an amber star shaped crystal on it so you couldn't really se the knot.
Mako had her hair up in a ponytail as usual but had tied it up with a green hair tie with emerald star shaped crystal attached to it.
Usagi had her hair in her normal style but only tied her hair up with white hair ties with gold moons on them.
They each put on their tiara and slipped on some makeup.
"I think we're ready to go," said Usagi.
~Common Room~
Professor McGonagall had already cast the spell over the sixth year Gryffindors and was now giving them a sheet of clues.
"I usually don't say this but please beat Slytherin. They've already won one more than us and I really want to wipe the smirk off Professor's Snape's face," said McGonagall gritting her teeth together.
The Gryffindors stared at their Head in shock.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go figure out the first clue to your first checkpoint!"
"Yes ma'am!"
McGonagall nodded and walked off to her point.
The students crowded together to figure out the clues to the first clue point.
"Go to the coldest classroom in the school," read out Hermione.
"Well that would be obvious. Potions classroom. That place gives me the creeps," shivered Usagi.
"It gives everyone the creeps," said Neville.
"We better get going," said Mako as she made her way to the door.
~Potions Classroom~
"Well, well, well. You took your sweet time getting here didn't you?" sneered Snape.
"Just tell us the question Snape," said Rei.
Silence.
No one dared to move or talk. No one spoke to Snape that way.
"Your lucky that I can't take off points Hino!" growled Snape.
"Please Professor, just give us the question then the next clue," begged Hermione.
"Very well then. Name ten ingredients. No Miss Granger I'm not going to let you answer it. I'm going to let Longbottom answer it," smirked Snape.
Neville paled.
"P-powdered root of Asphodel, Wormwood, Bezoar, Monkshood, Wolfsbane, eye of Newt, Moonstone, Syrup of Hellebore, Shrivelfig and..."
He tried he really did but couldn't remember anymore.
"Tut, tut, tut. Can't remember anymore eh? Well I guess you can't get your next clue then. Looks like you're out of the contest," smirked Snape.
"Daisy Roots!!!"
Snape scowled then gave Neville a black necklace and handed them a piece of parchment with a lion and the number six on it.
"Go to the place where the fraud once was."
"Which fraud?"
"What do you mean which fraud?" snarled Snape.
"Trelawney or Lockheart?" said Hermione.
"I made the question so you guess."
"Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom it is then!" said Mina and she walked off.
After they walked off Snape cursed to himself.
"Damn! Didn't think they'll get it right."
~DADA Classroom~
"Hi hi!! Did Severus give you a hard time?" asked Akizuki when they came in late.
They all nodded.
"Well you better answer this question really quick and then run to the next clue point. Ok, here's the question. Name what the three Unforgivables are used for."
Everyone was surprised that Hermione didn't answer.
"What? You'll need me for Arithmacy and Ancient Runes you know," said Hermione matter of factly.
"Good point," said Harry.
"Answer please," said Akizuki.
"One is for controlling someone, killing someone and the last one is for torturing someone," said Dean since they were wasting time.
"Correct!"
She gave them the same parchment from Potions only a different question.
"The place where you can see the star consolations the best."
"To the Astronomy Tower!" yelled Yukino.
Akizuki gave Dean a silver necklace before they left.
~Astronomy Tower~
"Name two star consolations," said Sinistra.
"Orion's Belt and Sirius," said Yamaziha.
Harry sighed sadly at the mention of Sirius's name.
Rei saw this and held on to Harry's hand for encouragement.
"Correct."
Sinistra gave them the next clue.
"The teacher can turn into a cat."
"Transfiguration," said Ron.
Sinistra gave Yamaziha a white necklace.
~Transfiguration Classroom~
"Which House will win the House Cup this year?" asked McGonagall.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!!" cheered everyone.
"Well I don't really know who to give the necklace to. How about Hermione? I'm surprised you haven't got one yet."
McGonagall gave her the gold necklace before she could protest.
"Now here's the next clue," she said as she too gave the piece of parchment.
"The next classroom is a place where you can barely breathe in."
"Divination. I don't understand why her room has a strong scent. You don't need to predict the future with a stuffy room!" said Rei. "And if she keeps on predicting deaths, of coarse students will be dead! You can't breathe in the bloody room!"
Rei then walked out of the room with the others following closely and leaving a snickering Transfiguration Teacher.
~North Tower~
"Name three ways of predicting the future," said Trelawney mistily.
"Tarot Cards, Crystal Balls and Fire Readings!!!" chimed Lavender and Pavarti together.
"Correct!!!"
Trelawney gave them the next clue.
"The next place is where the wizarding sport is held."
"Quiddich Pitch then," said Dean.
Before they left Trelawney gave Pavarti and Lavender a purple bracelet instead of necklaces.
~Quiddich Pitch~
"Name me the team who won the World Cup recently," asked Hooch sharply.
"IRELAND!!!!" cheered Seamus.
"Correct!!!"
Hooch gave them the next clue and Seamus a maroon necklace.
"The teacher of this subject is half giant."
"Care of Magical Creatures then," said Ami.
~Hagrid's Hut~
"Name me one dangerous animal," said Hagrid.
"A Youma?" said Mina.
"I've heard of them before. They come from Japan right? Nasty evil little buggers. Correct!!"
Hagrid gave Mina a Brown necklace and the others the clue.
"A Ghost teaches this subject."
"To History!"
~Time Skip~
The next couple of subjects were easy.
Ami got History of Magic.
After that was Charms which Harry got.
Herbology was next. Mako got that easy.
Ancient Runes was next and Hermione got that one.
Next was Arithmacy, surprising everyone, Ami got.
And finally was Muggle Studies.
~Muggle Studies Classroom~
"Name the muggle devise that you can use to call people. It's like a telephone but this one is a special one where you can carry everywhere," said Yukio.
"A mobile!!!" said Usagi.
"Correct!"
Yukio gave Usagi, much to her liking, a pink necklace and the others a riddle that they had to solve.
"Go to the place where you started getting to know your housemates."
"What the bloody hell does that mean?!" asked Ron.
They were outside of the Muggle Studies classroom now with the clue in Hermione's hands. Professor Yukio let them keep the clue since all the other houses got to keep their last clue.
"Maybe it's like a Lateral Thinking Question. You have to think both laterally and positively. The answer usually pops up in my head," said Yukino.
They stood there thinking for ten minutes before both Hermione and Ami snapped their fingers and exclaimed "The Great Hall!" at the same time.
"Ok no offense but this is just getting spooky," said Ron inching slowing away from the two girls.
The others nodded in agreement.
"It's no time for idle chit-chat!" said Hermione.
"To the great Hall!!!" shouted Ami.
Everyone sweat dropped and followed them to.
They were now running to the Great Hall.
~Great Hall~
They got to the great hall with Usagi and the other Japanese transfers in front of them five minutes.
It looked like that Gryffindor had won that round!!!
~The Next Day – Breakfast~
Cling, Cling, Cling!
The hall went silent, all eager to find out who won.
"I am proud to say that both Slytherin and Gryffindor houses has come first!!! A tie!!" announced Dumbledor.
A very long stretch of silence.
"Slytherin had three wins, Gryffindor had three wins and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw got half each."
"What do you mean half each?!" yelled Malfoy.
Dumbledor chuckled.
"They both got to the Great Hall at the same time, both first so they deserve half points then.
So 2400 points go to both Gryffindor and Slytherin houses while Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw get 400 points!"
