Alrighty, Chapter 11! I don't own anything, nothing that i am using, (unfortunately) they all have owners.
And I am sorry I made people think I was bashing the Americans, I wasn't i was just having them size up the people from Hogwarts, I guess you could say. There is also a reason for this, which is stated in the chapter!
Chapter 11
Professor McGonagall stared in shock at Usagi. So did a couple of the other students who knew what she had just said. McGonagall didn't really speak Japanese, but she knew enough to know that the words Usagi had said were not something you told someone out loud. And judging by the looks on the other fluent Japanese speakers, she knew Usagi had just cussed that poor girl out.
A sound made McGonagall stop mid-lecture. McGonagall tuned around, thinking she had maybe heard wrong, but she hadn't. Someone was laughing. Someone who had heard what Usagi had said, and understood it was laughing. Usagi noticed this as well, and studied the laughing boy. He looked to be around the age of a 5th year, but this far away she couldn't really tell. He had brown hair that she could see was in a braid, and bluish eyes. Usagi really couldn't be sure seeing as how she was so far away, but she was sure they were some shade of blue.
As the Hogwarts students followed the Salem students into the castle, the boy who had laughed, lagged behind. Once he was even with her, he walked with her to the castle. Up close, she could see his eyes were a purple color, almost the same as Hotaru's but a little lighter. He was still laughing. "Oh, I can't believe you just did that! No one has ever told Rei Hino off before!" Usagi looked at him skeptically, "What do you mean by that?" The guy laughed, "Everyone here is too afraid of her to try and stand up to her or anything. I'm sure you noticed everyone staring?" Usagi nodded, "Yep. Why were they staring?" "Hino told everyone who would listen that the people from Hogwarts were uneducated pigs who didn't know what the people of the 'civilzed world', as she called it, did." the guy answered, then added, "Oh, by the way, my names Duo Maxwell, nice ta meetcha." Usagi grinned, "Usagi Tsukino, likewise." Just then Lily and Hotaru joined the conversation, "I have never felt more sorry for anyone in my entire life," Lily commented. Duo looked at her confused, "Whys that?" "That girl who yelled back at Usagi," Hotaru said dryly. Duo raised an eyebrow, Remus, who had been listening to the conversation, snickered, "The last person who insulted Usagi ended up the the infirmary for almost a month." "Yeah, and it isn't fun to have Madam Pomfrey fluttering over you every 10 seconds," Sirius added.
Duo looked at Sirius, "She put you into the hospital?" Usagi laughed, "Yep, after Snape, Sirius is my favorite victim. Now if you don't mind telling me, what house is your Hino in?" Duo groaned, "Texas, a pain in my ass, too. Most of the people in Texas think they're larger than God, and don't think they have to abide by the rules. It doesn't help that their Head encourages them. I'm in New York, so basically that makes me one of their 'worst' enemies. There's been this rivalry for decades. I don't think anyone remembers how it started." Usagi grinned, "Well, whaddya know? Snapey old buddy is gonna be in Texas, as he's a Slytherin, and my new Snapey is in Texas. You know what, I think I'm gonna enjoy this year." Then she frowned, "Except for the whole 'I gotta spend all my time with Black' thing, but I think I can make the most of it."
Duo laughed, "I think you and me are going to get along great." "I think you're right."
Walking into the banquet hall, the people from Hogwarts were amazed, though it certainly didn't look like Hogwarts did, the inside was just as big, and as grand. Sitting down with the other students in her temporary house, James saw that the people were getting alot better than one would have thought based on the reception they had gotten. Though he heard the reason, the friendships fastly forming between the students from schools, was simply amazing. What concerned him was the boy talking to Lily. She was talking with fascination, and he looked amused at her apparent awe. Of course, new things always made Lily Potter curious, James stopped there, and slapped himself, making many students look at him in confusion. Again witht he Lily Potter thing! When was he going to learn that her name wasn't Potter and would never be. James really didn't get what he was feeling, but if he talked to Remus, he probably would. After all, he was the only one with a steady girlfriend out of the Marauders. James and Sirius like to play the field, while Peter probably couldn't even get a girlfriend if he tried. James wasn't really insulting Peter, he was just expressing the truth.
Sometimes though, James wondered why they were friends with him. He couldn't really remember why it happened, but Peter wasn't like his other 3 friends. He couldn't come up with a sarcastic comment at the drop of a hat, and he wasn't really the brightest crayon in the box. Or the sharpest tool in the shed, if you prefer.
Hotaru, was also fascinated by the banquet hall of the Academy. It didn't have the bewtiched sky that Hogwarts had, but it had an aura of peace. Like this was as safe a place as Hogwarts. Unlike Hogwarts, Salem had been created as a refuge for the oppressed witches and wizards during the Salem Witch Trials. Although none of the ones who were killed were truly magical, some who were charged with witchcraft truly were magical. Like Hogwarts, Salem had a history that could keep someone spell bound for days on end. Well someone who enjoyed the type of things that involved history.
Usagi didn't like history much. She used to, but that was before Sirius had told her she could be a dead ringer for Helen of Troy. She put him in the infirmary for a month after that. She was not a veela and certainly DID NOT look like one. (A/N: I read this somewhere where someone commented on this is a story, and I thought it might work, so it isn't entirely original. I just can't remember where I read it!!)
Lily, who was still in awe over the size of the inside of the castle compared to the outside, was talking with a boy who was also in New York. From her conversation, she had established that he was a friend of the braided-baka, whom she thought to be Duo, and was majorly sexist. She was about ready to give into her desire of slapping him if he insulted the female gender one more time. (A/N-I'm gonna give you 3 guesses as to who that is, the first 2 don't count!)
Sirius and Remus, were both talking to Duo, the boy who had told them what Rei Hino had done. Needless to say, like Usagi, they were already planning their revenge. Well Sirius was, Remus was just listening to him talk to himself with Duo while trying to refrain from laughing at the stares he was getting. Remus guessed the people of Salem didn't encounter many like Sirius, and as Usagi would say, "Thank Selene he's the only one and there aren't any others."
END 11th chapter!!
