Chapter 5
" If only… "
Usagi laughed at Ron's jokes. Usagi was very happy to have a new set of friends. They told her everything about their antics at Hogwarts. About their many adventures and near death experiences. Usagi was quite amazed at Harry he almost lead the same dangerous live as her, well almost. Usagi did die and get reborn a couple of times. They just arrived from a long and tired trip around Juuban. It was already late in the afternoon when they arrived at the Magic Room Inn. What surprised Usagi even more that Luna, took immediate liking to Harry, always commenting that he was a 'fine young man' if no one was in ear shot.
They took their seats in the lounge room for a long rest. All of them were tired of the long walks around Juuban. "My feet hurt," whined Ron rubbing his feet.
Usagi giggled lightly Ron sure knew how to complain. "So what should I get you four?" she asked standing up.
"You really shouldn't get us anything," said Hermione from her seat.
"I work here Hermione, I must serve the costumers. This is my job and I must do as what the guest wishes," said Usagi smiling acting out what Uncle Sam had thought her on how to work.
"Well in that case, you can get us pumpkin juice then. Extra cold!" said Ron smiling stilling rubbing his exhausted feet.
"Ron!" shouted Ginny annoyingly.
"What, she said she would get us some drinks." Defended Ron.
Usagi smiled and picked up Artemis from the floor. "It's alright Ginny," she then turned to were Harry was sitting and saw Luna on his lap purring softly. "I suppose you want milk?" she asked directing her voice to Luna. Luna gave a meow obviously as a yes. Usagi rolled her eyes at the black Moon cat before walking towards the kitchen.
"The cat seems to understand Usagi well," said Hermione looking at Luna who had curled herself on Harry's lap.
"I think she's cute," said Harry absently mindly stroking Luna. Ron raised an eyebrow in confusion, "The…the cat I mean," he stammered in case Ron got any crazy idea. Ron quirked an eyebrow before grinning again.
"Maybe what everyone says is right," said Hermione suddenly.
They all turned to her confused, "What do you mean?" asked Ginny with a puzzled expression on her face.
"About the Sailor Senshi of course," answered Hermione. Luna sat up sharply at the mention of the senshi's name. She pricked her ears and stared at Hermione intently.
Harry stared down at the cat; he was surprised at its sudden attitude. One minute Luna was relaxing the next Luna turned her full attention to Hermione. 'Maybe she knows how to listen and understands us,' thought Harry wryly.
'They are talking about the senshi,' thought Luna as she watched the conversation go on. 'They really want to know about the senshi,'
"I guess it's hopeless. The senshi are gone. Like the disappeared from the face of the earth," said Hermione finally.
"We already know that Hermione," pointed out Ron.
"You already know, but you don't know this," said Hermione triumphantly. "I ready about the senshi back in Hogwarts. It seem they are the celestial protectors of this solar system. They protect the solar system and protect their princess. The princess of the Moon." She added.
"Princess? A princess of the Moon?" repeated Harry baffled. He never knew that there was such kind of thing. But since this is a sort of magical field he shouldn't be surprised at all.
Luna stared at the girl, Hermione quite impressed. She knew history quite well. 'Now she shouldn't find out who the senshi are then everything would be fine,' thought Luna.
"This was a thousand years ago. It said the princess of the Moon's mother the queen is the ruler of this solar system back then. But somehow all of them died in an attack. Queen Serenity, was able to send her dead daughters body along with her dead protectors and the dead prince of earth into the future and be reincarnated," finished Hermione.
"You mean to say that those senshi are a thousand years old?" asked Ginny.
"Well, they were sent into the future a thousand year ago. Probably I guess," shrugged Hermione.
"It still doesn't help much of finding the senshi," said Ron finally sighing and slumping back in his chair.
Hermione and the others nodded in agreement. Luna meowed loudly trying to cheer them up she jumped on the table and did a back flip. 'Well at least I could cheer them up.' Thought Luna sitting on the table meowing loudly.
Ginny giggled at the cat, "She is pretty talented for a cat," she said petting Luna on the head. Luna purred with contentment.
"She looked like she was listening through our whole conversation," said Harry looking at Luna with curious eyes.
Just then Usagi arrived with their drinks. Smiling she placed their drinks on the table, shooing down Luna. She also brought a small saucer on the floor for Luna who shared it with Artemis. "So you got your drinks, enjoy!" she said.
"Thanks, Usagi," smiled Harry gratefully sipping his juice.
"Guys how about tomorrow we just stay at the inn. I got work tomorrow so how about you just stay here tomorrow while I serve you five to death?" asked Usagi.
"Might as well take a break from all those sight seeing," said Ginny nodding in agreement.
"We might as well do our Homework that the teachers left us," suggested Hermione.
Loud groans of protest came from Harry and Ron. "How can you think about doing homework?" protested Ron.
"Well they did leave us with a lot of homework," countered Hermione glaring at Ron over the rim of her drink.
"You really need to set out your priorities straight," mumbled Ron.
Usagi laughed but then stopped laughing remembering her own ton of homework. Cringing at the thought of her half finished Transfiguration essay. 'Might as well do my homework too in my free time,' she thought wryly.
"Aren't you going to rest after that long walking we did?" asked Harry after drowning his drink.
Usagi laughed, "No, I am used to walking long distances. You wouldn't believe how many times I have been late for school and practically run all the way to school in order not to be late but in the end ended up always with detention." Usagi smiled as she remembered the times she would be late for school.
"Don't you live at your school? You know dormitories?" asked Ron.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I don't actually live at Yatazawa. The school offers night classes. I go to the night classes instead living there. You see I have a very, err, hectic or busy schedule during the day." Said Usagi shrugging her shoulders.
"Then how do you play Quidditch?" asked Harry confused.
"Oh, they will just send me an owl if there are practices during the day and if there are any matches. I then would come flying immediately." Answered Usagi.
"Does your brother go to the same school?" asked Ginny a slight blush on her cheeks. She no longer has a crush on Harry. She got over it, she actually took a linking at Usagi's brother who was the same age as her. Ron immediately looked at Ginny as if she had grown another head.
Usagi smirked, 'so, she likes my brother. Cute' "Yeah, a 5th year. He also goes to the night classes. Even though mum insisted that he should just stay at the school." Answered Usagi smiling a sad smile at the mention of her mother. She still remembered when Shingo was 11 and he received his acceptance letter to go to Yatazawa. Mum insisted that he should stay and live at Yatazawa but Shingo didn't want to saying he wanted to be with his sister and not live at a school were he did know anyone or anything at all. So their mother agreed that Shingo would just attend night classes as Usagi. 'Just shows how much he is my brother' thought Usagi wryly.
"Your mother? By the way where are your parents?" asked Hermione not knowing what impact her question would have on Usagi.
Usagi looked away abruptly at the question where her parents were. Luna and Artemis looked up at Usagi swiftly expecting her to cry they knew sometimes she would blame herself for the death of her parents. 'Their dead,' she thought. 'But they wouldn't be if only you tried harder and defeated Chaos,' she added. Tears brimmed her eyes before she quickly blinked them away.
"They are dead," whispered Usagi solemnly. She hugged the tray that held the drink from earlier tighter as if seeking a comforting hug.
Hermione felt ashamed of herself for asking that question. "I am sorry. I didn't know," whispered Hermione.
Harry felt really sorry for her. He knew exactly how she felt. 'If only I could give her a hug,' he thought. To make her know that he knew exactly how she felt. That she wasn't on the boat alone. 'If only,' he thought sadly.
Usagi smiled sadly, she looked over a small altar near the wall wish held a picture of her parents with some in scented candles. "It's alright. Don't worry," mumbled Usagi assuring. "Look I still have to do some work I better go now," Usagi excused herself. Luna and Artemis quickly followed her up the stairs to her room.
"Poor Usagi," said Ginny sadly.
"I didn't know. I just wanted to ask," whispered Hermione saddened that she had made her friend almost cry.
"It's alright Hermione you didn't know," said Ron assuring giving her a hug before she erupted into a crying fit.
Harry starred at the way Usagi went. He wanted to hug her more than everything right now. He wanted to assure her that everything was going to be fine. That she wasn't alone. 'If only,' he thought.
~Usagi's room~
"If only I was there to prevent their deaths!" shouted Usagi crying hugging her pillow.
"Don't blame yourself, you didn't know it was going to happen," soothed Luna sitting next to a crying Usagi.
"If only was able to protect them," cane a muffled crying reply from Usagi.
"That's what you keep on saying 'If only…' You can't change it. It happened there was nothing you can do," said Artemis.
Just then Shingo came walking into her room. He saw his sister running to her room crying. He came here to see what is going on. He heard the conversation between Usagi and the two Moon cats. "There was nothing you could do," mumbled Shingo taking a seat next to a crying Usagi.
Usagi looked up and saw Shingo, "Shingo?" she whispered. Shingo was the only one that truly understood her in a way. Since he was her little brother. He would help her in the time she needed someone the most. He helps her in the time when she was crying for her death of their parents so many times. Both of them were looking out for each other more. Usagi couldn't believe what could happen to her if Shingo wasn't there for her. She hugged Shingo as if he was her lifeline.
"Don't blame yourself. You couldn't have done anything. Not even Sailor Moon. I thought we have been over it already. Get a grip Usagi," said Shingo as he hugged his sister tightly. He suddenly began crying himself. He now knew how much he loved his sister even though he may not show it.
Usagi nodded and pulled away. She laughed when she saw Shingo crying himself. "Some way of comforting me. Now you are crying too," she started to laugh.
Shingo laughed as well and wiped away his tears, "Hey I was caught up in the moment!" he defended. He hugged her suddenly. "Don't you die on me too understand? I don't know what I would do with out you," he said suddenly before pulling away again.
Usagi let go another sob and nodded her head. "The same goes out to you," she said. She then turned to her two cat advisors. "And the same to you two understand?" she added.
"Of course!" said Luna tears started to flow.
"Hai, same here," answered Artemis some tears came flowing out of his kitty eyes.
"Okay now that we all cried enough. It is getting a bit touchy. So lets get some dinner already," announced Shingo wiping his face.
Usagi nodded and stood up, she quickly hugged Shingo again, "Thanks little bro," she whispered. Shingo just nodded.
"C'mon lets go now. I am hungry!" said Usagi loudly.
~Dinner~
Tonight Usagi, Shingo and Uncle Sam joined the Weasleys for dinner. All of them were talking and laughing about their day's events. Shingo complaining about the loads of work he had to do today.
"So Arthur, Molly any information about the Sailor Senshi?" asked Uncle Sam suddenly.
Usagi choked on her rice and Shingo had to pound on her back. She looked at her Uncle as if he was insane for bringing up that topic. Her Uncle just shrugged and went back with his eating.
Mr. Weasley put his fork down and looked upset, "Nothing not a clue! Like they from the ministry said. The Senshi have disappeared from the phase of the earth. All day long we are rummaging trough old news papers to only find nothing!" exclaimed Mr. Weasley angrily.
"Now, now dear calm down. Tomorrow we are heading to a wizarding library and do some research there," assured Mrs. Weasley.
Usagi was relieved that Kurosawa-san didn't give away any information. She listened to Mr. Weasley rant on with pleasure. It was fun to see him all worked up.
"Usagi may I remind you that tomorrow you'll have to work. There is a lot of work to be done," informed Uncle Sam waving his fork at Usagi.
Usagi eyed to forked incase it would slip from her uncles hand and fly in her direction. "Yeah, yeah. You already told me hundred times," she said popping a piece of bread in her mouth.
"So you kids are just going to stay here tomorrow?" asked Uncle Sam turning to the four.
"Yeah, we will be doing our homework," answered Hermione.
"C'mon Hermione you cant be serious," whined Ron.
"Well I see you will be doing you homework. Not like some people," said Uncle Sam looking at Usagi and Shingo who cringed at his gaze.
"Who us?" asked Usagi innocently. She turned to Shingo pretending to have heard wrong. "Is he talking about us?"
Shingo shock his head, "Not us," he said. He cringed at his uncles' gaze.
Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry laughed. "You are free to join us," said Harry while laughing. Usagi mouthed a thank-you at him. Her Uncle was more pleased now.
"Oh and may I remind you Usagi," began Uncle Sam. "Tomorrow you'll be picking up Mr. Ludwig von Makkern and his family at the airport." He said calmly.
Usagi turned to her Uncle with a bewildered expression, "Excuse me?" she asked.
"He is the Minister of Magic from Switzerland. They came here for vacation. They will be arriving tomorrow. They have requested to be picked up at the airport." Informed her Uncle.
"How will I get there?" asked Usagi.
"The ministry of magic has provided cars. They will be here tomorrow to pick you up and then go to the airport." Uncle Sam said.
"Okay I guess," mumbled Usagi. Going back to her dinner.
Everyone quickly finished dinner. They all went to their beds for a good night rest. Since most of them were still tired of their day's events they did.
~Usagi's room~
Usagi had already changed into her Pjs when Luna and Artemis came bounding into her room and settled themselves on her bed.
"Wonderful day it was," said Artemis contently. "We didn't see Angel anywhere," he added snuggling deeper into Usagi's blanket.
"And I have finally come to a conclusion," announced Luna happily.
Usagi lay in bed and propped her head on her elbow and looked at Luna suspiciously. "And what would that be?" she asked.
"Oh nothing, just has to do with the boy, Harry Potter." Answered Luna smugly.
Usagi came to full attention and stared at Luna suspiciously. 'What's going on in that Kitty head of hers?' she thought. "And what would that be," she asked.
Luna smiled a kitty smile. "He really seems like a fine young man," she said sleepily. She really liked Harry. He seemed really nice, caring and friendly. 'Just perfect for Usagi,' she added mentally.
Usagi groaned and turned of the lights. "Not that 'fine young man' thing Luna" she said into the darkness.
"Good night Usagi," said both Luna and Artemis at the same time.
"Good night," she mumbled. 'So Harry was a 'fine young man' he really is cute! So, why am I over reacting at Luna and why am I blushing?' she thought. 'You like him,' answered her mind. 'Okay now happy, I like him no big deal, right?' she thought. A small smile crept on her lips before falling into deep sleep dreaming on the possibilities between her and Harry.
~~~Next Day~~~
Usagi hummed silently to herself. Smiling brightly at some of the guest and at her co-workers. Today was a fine day, the sun was shinning to its brightest. Today she wore a blue tank top and a pair of pants. Her hair was done its usual French braid that almost reached the ground.
In her arms she carried some fresh linen sheets for the beds and some fresh towels there were also some Owl food for the owls. She was heading to room 105, Harry and Ron's room. To change the sheets of their bed and give put some new towels in their bathroom and feed their owls. In her pockets jingled happily the keys to their room. Usagi thought Harry and Ron were already down for some breakfast since it was already past 8, but how wrong she was. (AN: ^.^ you'll see!)
She reached the door with its golden magical numbers reading 105. She pulled out the keys, trying to balance the linen sheets and towels in one hand she unlocked the door and opened it. The room was a bit of a mess, some clothing was everywhere and things were thrown askew. Usagi sighed, 'Sometimes there are people more messier than me,' she thought.
She closed the door and headed to Hedwigs and Pigs perch stand. Both owls hooted in greeting. Usagi smiled slightly, she placed her things on the table and held out a bag full of owl seeds. "Look what I got for you two," said Usagi smiling as the owls hooted happily at the sight of food. Hedwig flew over her and nipped her earlobe as a thank you before settling her self back on her perch. Usagi giggled lightly, she poured some seeds into each bowl for the owls at their perches. Immediately the owls dug in and ate. "There you go," said Usagi smiling. She quickly grabbed her things and headed to the bedrooms.
She entered the bedrooms half expecting Harry to be here but to her relief no one was there. Both beds were empty one bed was really messy and clothes are almost everywhere. The other bed was messy a bit but not as messy the other side. Sighing Usagi put down her things on one of the beds. 'Boys' she thought wryly. She grabbed the towels and headed towards the bathroom. The only problem is that she didn't notice the water running in the bathroom until it was too late.
When Usagi entered the bathroom the first thing she noticed is that the water was running and it was a bit foggy. She immediately turned her head to the showers only to notice Harry half stepping out of the showers and he looked as shocked as she was.
"AHHHH!!" shouted Usagi in embarrassment. She quickly threw the towels at Harry, who was vainly trying to cover himself anything reachable, the only thing was a tiny washcloth.
"Usagi?!" Harry shouted when he saw her enter the bathroom and while he was stepping out of the showers. He really looked embarrassed. He didn't expect her to right barge into the bathroom while he was showering nonetheless he was half-naked.
Usagi covered her face with her hands and quickly shouted "Sorry" before darting out the bathroom and into the bedroom. She sat down at one of the beds. Her face was flushed and red. "Kami-sama what just happened," she mumbled she covered her face with her hands. She just saw the famous Harry Potter, naked. Her blush became redder at that thought.
Trying to change that thought, she quickly changed both beds covers and made them all neatly. She quickly picked up all the discarded clothing on the floor and started to fold them neatly. She looked up when a blushing furiously Harry came walking out of the bathroom. And to Usagi's luck he was wearing a towel around his waist that was all. Usagi started to blush furiously again and started to fold the cloths faster.
"I am so sorry," said Usagi looking up from her folding. She blushed even more when she took in Harry's wet state and body. 'Okay so he may not have a body builders body but what the heck he is standing right infront of me half naked!' she thought wryly before blushing even redder.
Harry blushed and walked to his side of the room for some clothes. He felt really embarrassed right now. He was standing infront of the girl that he likes and he is half naked. "Its…its… Alright… don't worry," he mumbled blushing like crazy not meeting her eyes.
"I am really sorry I didn't know you where in here. I only noticed you when it was too…late," trailed of Usagi blushing like crazy. She quickly finished the folding and placed all the folded clothes on the bed. She turned around and was bout the walk out of the room when she noticed Harry was still standing there and he wasn't changed yet.
Usagi blushed as she took in again his profile, 'Okay so he is not what we call Macho but still he looks sexy,' she thought. She quickly looked away and blushed like mad. "I'd better be off. Sorry again." With that she darted out of the room with the old linen sheets in hand blushing like crazy.
"Oh boy," muttered Harry sitting down on his freshly made bed. He still blushed at the thought that Usagi saw him, well, naked. A small smile crept on his face, 'She sure does look cute with that blush,' he thought while changing into his clothes.
~
Harry came down to the dinning area fully dressed but there were still hints of blushing. He took a seat next Ron who looked up quizzically.
"What's wrong?" asked Ron seeing Harry's flushed face.
"Nothing, nothing at all," answered Harry hastily waving his hands. He blushed again when he remembered his ordeal with Usagi.
"Well then we already have ordered your breakfast. It'll be here shortly, since you were still up in your room god knows what," mumbled Hermione putting down the latest Daily Mystic newspaper.
"Mum and dad already left for the Wizarding Library," informed Ginny.
"I really wish I could have gone with them. I wanted to read more about the Sailor Senshi," muttered Hermione angrily.
Just then Usagi came walking towards their table with the magic trolley full of food along with her. Usagi blushed when she saw Harry sitting there. 'Great, just great,' she mentally cursed. "Here you go," she said slowly placing their food infront of them.
"Usagi you alright? You look flushed, you look sick," asked Hermione concerned she took in Usagi's flushed face.
Usagi blushed even more. She quickly darted her eyes to Harry, who starred back at her also blushing like crazy. She quickly turned away laughing nervously. "No, no, no. I'm fine. Well then enjoy your meal," she then quickly darted back to the kitchen.
"That was strange," mumbled Ron confused.
"…" Harry stayed silent still trying to forget the memory of Usagi walking into the bathroom. He blushed furiously and quickly went back to his eating.
"Hai, Hai, Hai. I already know. I have to pick up the minter at the airport! I am going already see?!" shouted Usagi across the room to her Uncle. She grabbed a jacket since it looked like it was going to rain.
"Hurry, your ride is already here. And remember not…" Uncle Sam said but was cut of by and irritated Usagi.
Usagi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, not to talk to muggles. Gees, I am not 7 years old," she mumbled walking out the door and into the huge black limo that the ministry provided.
"But sometime I think you act like one," muttered Uncle Sam under his breath as the limo drove away.
~ 4 hours later~
"Where is your sister Shingo?!" shouted Uncle Sam for the ninety-seventh time. He looked at the huge grandfather clock. It was already 4 hours since Usagi left and she still hasn't returned.
Shingo shrugged his shoulders and went back to his reading with Harry and the others. "Maybe the flight was delayed. Just look at the weather out there. It's a storm," he said pointing out the dark sky. Outside a strong and angry storm ragged. Rain came pelting down and hit the huge windows hard, thunder and lightning came crashing down hard.
"Maybe your right, I just hope they are alright," mumbled Uncle Sam he went back to sorting all the bills.
"The flight just got delayed that's all," said Hermione putting down her quill and rolling up her parchment with her Charm essay.
"What do you mean delayed?" asked Ginny quizzically.
"And what is an airplane?" asked Ron both of them knew nothing of muggle technology since they are born from a wizarding family.
"An airplane is a contraption to fly for muggles if they travel long distances. It carries the muggles from one place to another," informed Harry shaking his head at his friend's clueless ness. He still hadn't got over the fact Usagi saw him in the bath, when he thinks about it a blush came to his face. He tried to put it as far into his brain as possible.
"The flight got probably delayed because of the storm. Airplanes cant fly in this kind of weather." Added Hermione. Ron and Ginny shock their head that they understood now.
"I guess they are already here," said Shingo, he pointed outside the door. They were trying to make out a black car had just driven up. They were able to see people scurrying out of the door and quickly get the baggage from the back compartment.
"Oh they're here," exclaimed Uncle Sam seeing figures approach the inn.
The door burst open, to reveal a big, fat, jolly man wearing forest green robes that were soaking wet. Along side him was probably his wife, a thin, short woman wearing some wet green robes. With them was a young scrawny boy, with lots of freckles, he looked about 17 and wore also a wet green. All of them looked quite pleased of them inn. The Minster smiled broadly, he was quite pleased with the inn, he was also very happy to be out of the cold weather.
"Ah, mister Ludwig. Welcome to the Magic Room!" said Uncle Sam proudly shaking one of the beefy hands of the Minster of Switzerland.
Again the door opened, letting a rush of cold wind mixed with cold rain rush in. Usagi came running in soaking wet. Her clothes clung to her as if they were her second skin. She was shivering to the bone. She carried over four huge bags with her and let them drop on the carpeted floor. Her hair was done in twin pigtails that were clinging to her back possessively. She was still holding a paper sign that said 'Herr Ludwig von Makkern' the green magical ink was running from the wetness. She glared angrily at her Uncle.
"For your information, the flight got delayed for another 3 hours. I had to wait and you know what I had to wait outside in the rain for three hours! I am cold, I am wet and I think I am going to have a serious cold," said Usagi angrily wringing out some water of her hair.
Her Uncle laughed nervously at Usagi, "Well at least you are here already." He said smiling slightly. He cringed when Usagi gave him 'the look'.
Mr. Ludwig just laughed loudly, seeming not to have understood a thing the two of them were saying. He quickly grabbed Usagi and gave her a huge bone- crushing hug. "Wunderbar! Alles ist okay! This place is wunderbar!" he shouted before releasing a green Usagi. His wife and son nodded furiously.
Uncle Sam grinned proudly, "Of course. Now lets see and get you settled in," he said leading them to the receptionist desk.
"Ja, this here is Matilda, und das hier is Rudolf my son. You can call me Johan," said Mr. Ludwig in his heavy Switz accent. Mixing his English with some German words.
Usagi grumbled loudly leaving her Uncle with the Switz, minister. She walked tiredly towards her brother and her friends who were busy making their homework. While she was walking she was leaving a wet trail of rain behind. They all looked up when they saw her coming towards them.
"Don't dare to laugh," muttered Usagi angrily, holding up her hands. Her jacket hung lifelessly behind her soaking wet.
"You look like a lost puppy in the rain," grinned Shingo when he saw his wet sister.
"I take that as a compliment," mumbled Usagi, she wringed her other pigtail out of water. Mr. Ludwig turned her hairstyle into twin pigtails thinking that it was funny. "I am going to the hot bath. I need a hot bath," mumbled Usagi she then slowly walked towards the huge Japanese hot baths.
"There are hot baths here?" asked Harry quite surprised that there are such thing here. At the mention of bath, he began to flush again. 'Great, calm yourself.' He ordered mentally.
Shingo looked surprised that they didn't know about it. "You don't know? There are, it's like a Japanese bath. It's really soothing. Maybe you guys wanna try it out," suggested Shingo he pointed them the way towards the bath.
"Oh great! This will be so much fun," said Ginny excitedly as they walked towards the bath. She was a bit disappointed that Shingo couldn't come with them since he still had some work to do.
"I really think we should do our homework," said Hermione as they walked inside a huge room. There were two doors leading to boys and girls locked room. They split up and went to the locker rooms were they found some spare bathing suits for them.
Harry was contemplating of going to the bath since Usagi was there. It'll be just another memory of what happened that morning. He quickly changed into a pair of blue bathing trunks. (AN: O.o!) And followed Ron out of the locker room and into the huge bathing hall.
When they entered the hall the first thing they noticed, everything was white. The walls were painted with sceneries of different mountains and volcanoes. Warm steam was everywhere. The hall had different kinds of small pools in it. Some with swirling water, somewhere just a few feet deep, some were very deep for swimming. And there were some were you just can sit and relax. There were already some guests inside the bath relaxing and swimming. They quickly noticed Mdm. Hadley in one of the swirling baths wearing a pink polka-dot bathing hat.
"This place is great!" squealed Ginny excitedly hoping around in her pink bathing suit.
"I really think we should just finish our homework," muttered Hermione, she wore a purple bathing suit.
"C'mon Hermione enjoy it for a while. Gees loosen up!" said Ron he wore a pair of green bathing suit. Hermione just grumbled and folded her arms across her chest.
"Look over this Usagi, c'mon let go and join her," squealed Ginny she quickly walked towards Usagi, who was alone in one of the pools.
Harry just followed silently. He really felt uncomfortable with Usagi right now, 'I bet she feels the same way,' he thought silently. 'Well at least you got to admit she looks cute with a blush,' he thought silently.
Usagi sighed contently, she took another deep breath and dunked herself underwater letting her hair gets lose from the pigtails, it drifted around her like a golden hail-o. She came back up for air. Sighing contently she leaned against the wall of the pool letting her hair drift around her in the water. 'This will clear my mind,' she thought happily. A slight blush formed on her cheeks from the warm water. She adjusted the strap of her blue bikini. 'Clear my mind' she chorused. Then a picture of Harry with a towel flashed in her mind. She then remembered her ordeal with Harry. She began blushing furiously again.
"Ahh!" she moaned loudly, she splashed her face with some water. She never felt so embarrassed in her whole life. 'But he looked so…cute. Vulnerable at time, I think that was kinda…sexy,' she thought wryly her mind drifting again. A small smile played on her lips as she thought about it more. She bit her lips, 'He's cute,' she thought again.
She looked up when she saw four looming shadows over her, she mentally groaned 'Harry,' she began to blush furiously when he looked down at her. "Hey, since you're here why don't you join me," said Usagi smiling trying to hide her blush.
Ginny squealed in delight, she quickly jumped into the water creating a small tidal wave hitting Usagi full on. "Sorry," mumbled Ginny blushing. She quickly leaned on the wall of the pool and began relaxing. Harry, Ron and Hermione followed into the pool, the pool wasn't quite that big so they had to sit together a bit closer. Harry was able to sit next to Usagi.
Usagi smiled lightly, pushing away some wet hair from her eyes. Ginny always reminded her of herself when she used to be a bit more carefree. Sighing lightly as she remembered the old days. She then noticed who was sitting next to her, awfully close next to her. She mentally groaned, 'Harry,' a slight blush tinged her cheeks. She noticed that Ron and Hermione were too busy to notice the discomfort of Usagi since both of them were again arguing. And Ginny had already dozed off to sleep. Usagi sighed, 'Just my luck,' she thought. She turned to Harry and offered him a slight but blushing smile.
Harry blushed when he was sitting next to Usagi, 'Well at least your close to her,' he thought dryly. He returned her smile lightly also blushing a bit.
"Usagi, you…you didn't tell anybody did you?" asked Harry blushing.
Usagi blushed and furiously shock her head in a no, "No, you don't tell anyone either!" said Usagi slowly blushing also.
Harry nodded, he smiled lightly. "It'll be a secret then," he said slowly. He was still blushing but he felt better now. More comfortable.
Usagi blushed, she nodded, "A secret. Our secret," she whispered. She could feel how close their bodies were. Unconsciously she moved a bit closer to him making their bodies almost touch. She smiled up at Harry, who in turn returned her smile. She liked this feeling again.
~Somewhere In London~
"Soon," said a raspy voice of Voldemort. He looked into the flames and there was a picture of a smiling/blushing Usagi sitting next in the water with a blushing/smiling Harry. "It'll be soon," whispered Voldemort he grabbed the picture of Usagi with his hands making it vanish. He started to laugh manically when he had an idea.
"Mass—ter?" said a cowering Pettigrew. He cowered in the corner of the dark room. He saw the evil glint in his master's eyes. He whimpered in fright. "What do we do now?" he asked again.
Voldemort turned to him, an evil glint in his eyes. "It'll happen soon. We attack soon," he started laughing evilly again. "Then," he pointed his finger to the fireplace which roared and became bigger a picture of Princess serenity and the crystal in her hand was shown. "She and the crystal will be mine," the picture was replaced by a dead serenity and a black crystal. Voldemort started to laugh again. Pettigrew whimpered in the corner because of his master's laugh.
"Soon," repeated Voldemort looking deep into the flames.

Chapter 5
" If only… "
Usagi laughed at Ron's jokes. Usagi was very happy to have a new set of friends. They told her everything about their antics at Hogwarts. About their many adventures and near death experiences. Usagi was quite amazed at Harry he almost lead the same dangerous live as her, well almost. Usagi did die and get reborn a couple of times. They just arrived from a long and tired trip around Juuban. It was already late in the afternoon when they arrived at the Magic Room Inn. What surprised Usagi even more that Luna, took immediate liking to Harry, always commenting that he was a 'fine young man' if no one was in ear shot.
They took their seats in the lounge room for a long rest. All of them were tired of the long walks around Juuban. "My feet hurt," whined Ron rubbing his feet.
Usagi giggled lightly Ron sure knew how to complain. "So what should I get you four?" she asked standing up.
"You really shouldn't get us anything," said Hermione from her seat.
"I work here Hermione, I must serve the costumers. This is my job and I must do as what the guest wishes," said Usagi smiling acting out what Uncle Sam had thought her on how to work.
"Well in that case, you can get us pumpkin juice then. Extra cold!" said Ron smiling stilling rubbing his exhausted feet.
"Ron!" shouted Ginny annoyingly.
"What, she said she would get us some drinks." Defended Ron.
Usagi smiled and picked up Artemis from the floor. "It's alright Ginny," she then turned to were Harry was sitting and saw Luna on his lap purring softly. "I suppose you want milk?" she asked directing her voice to Luna. Luna gave a meow obviously as a yes. Usagi rolled her eyes at the black Moon cat before walking towards the kitchen.
"The cat seems to understand Usagi well," said Hermione looking at Luna who had curled herself on Harry's lap.
"I think she's cute," said Harry absently mindly stroking Luna. Ron raised an eyebrow in confusion, "The…the cat I mean," he stammered in case Ron got any crazy idea. Ron quirked an eyebrow before grinning again.
"Maybe what everyone says is right," said Hermione suddenly.
They all turned to her confused, "What do you mean?" asked Ginny with a puzzled expression on her face.
"About the Sailor Senshi of course," answered Hermione. Luna sat up sharply at the mention of the senshi's name. She pricked her ears and stared at Hermione intently.
Harry stared down at the cat; he was surprised at its sudden attitude. One minute Luna was relaxing the next Luna turned her full attention to Hermione. 'Maybe she knows how to listen and understands us,' thought Harry wryly.
'They are talking about the senshi,' thought Luna as she watched the conversation go on. 'They really want to know about the senshi,'
"I guess it's hopeless. The senshi are gone. Like the disappeared from the face of the earth," said Hermione finally.
"We already know that Hermione," pointed out Ron.
"You already know, but you don't know this," said Hermione triumphantly. "I ready about the senshi back in Hogwarts. It seem they are the celestial protectors of this solar system. They protect the solar system and protect their princess. The princess of the Moon." She added.
"Princess? A princess of the Moon?" repeated Harry baffled. He never knew that there was such kind of thing. But since this is a sort of magical field he shouldn't be surprised at all.
Luna stared at the girl, Hermione quite impressed. She knew history quite well. 'Now she shouldn't find out who the senshi are then everything would be fine,' thought Luna.
"This was a thousand years ago. It said the princess of the Moon's mother the queen is the ruler of this solar system back then. But somehow all of them died in an attack. Queen Serenity, was able to send her dead daughters body along with her dead protectors and the dead prince of earth into the future and be reincarnated," finished Hermione.
"You mean to say that those senshi are a thousand years old?" asked Ginny.
"Well, they were sent into the future a thousand year ago. Probably I guess," shrugged Hermione.
"It still doesn't help much of finding the senshi," said Ron finally sighing and slumping back in his chair.
Hermione and the others nodded in agreement. Luna meowed loudly trying to cheer them up she jumped on the table and did a back flip. 'Well at least I could cheer them up.' Thought Luna sitting on the table meowing loudly.
Ginny giggled at the cat, "She is pretty talented for a cat," she said petting Luna on the head. Luna purred with contentment.
"She looked like she was listening through our whole conversation," said Harry looking at Luna with curious eyes.
Just then Usagi arrived with their drinks. Smiling she placed their drinks on the table, shooing down Luna. She also brought a small saucer on the floor for Luna who shared it with Artemis. "So you got your drinks, enjoy!" she said.
"Thanks, Usagi," smiled Harry gratefully sipping his juice.
"Guys how about tomorrow we just stay at the inn. I got work tomorrow so how about you just stay here tomorrow while I serve you five to death?" asked Usagi.
"Might as well take a break from all those sight seeing," said Ginny nodding in agreement.
"We might as well do our Homework that the teachers left us," suggested Hermione.
Loud groans of protest came from Harry and Ron. "How can you think about doing homework?" protested Ron.
"Well they did leave us with a lot of homework," countered Hermione glaring at Ron over the rim of her drink.
"You really need to set out your priorities straight," mumbled Ron.
Usagi laughed but then stopped laughing remembering her own ton of homework. Cringing at the thought of her half finished Transfiguration essay. 'Might as well do my homework too in my free time,' she thought wryly.
"Aren't you going to rest after that long walking we did?" asked Harry after drowning his drink.
Usagi laughed, "No, I am used to walking long distances. You wouldn't believe how many times I have been late for school and practically run all the way to school in order not to be late but in the end ended up always with detention." Usagi smiled as she remembered the times she would be late for school.
"Don't you live at your school? You know dormitories?" asked Ron.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I don't actually live at Yatazawa. The school offers night classes. I go to the night classes instead living there. You see I have a very, err, hectic or busy schedule during the day." Said Usagi shrugging her shoulders.
"Then how do you play Quidditch?" asked Harry confused.
"Oh, they will just send me an owl if there are practices during the day and if there are any matches. I then would come flying immediately." Answered Usagi.
"Does your brother go to the same school?" asked Ginny a slight blush on her cheeks. She no longer has a crush on Harry. She got over it, she actually took a linking at Usagi's brother who was the same age as her. Ron immediately looked at Ginny as if she had grown another head.
Usagi smirked, 'so, she likes my brother. Cute' "Yeah, a 5th year. He also goes to the night classes. Even though mum insisted that he should just stay at the school." Answered Usagi smiling a sad smile at the mention of her mother. She still remembered when Shingo was 11 and he received his acceptance letter to go to Yatazawa. Mum insisted that he should stay and live at Yatazawa but Shingo didn't want to saying he wanted to be with his sister and not live at a school were he did know anyone or anything at all. So their mother agreed that Shingo would just attend night classes as Usagi. 'Just shows how much he is my brother' thought Usagi wryly.
"Your mother? By the way where are your parents?" asked Hermione not knowing what impact her question would have on Usagi.
Usagi looked away abruptly at the question where her parents were. Luna and Artemis looked up at Usagi swiftly expecting her to cry they knew sometimes she would blame herself for the death of her parents. 'Their dead,' she thought. 'But they wouldn't be if only you tried harder and defeated Chaos,' she added. Tears brimmed her eyes before she quickly blinked them away.
"They are dead," whispered Usagi solemnly. She hugged the tray that held the drink from earlier tighter as if seeking a comforting hug.
Hermione felt ashamed of herself for asking that question. "I am sorry. I didn't know," whispered Hermione.
Harry felt really sorry for her. He knew exactly how she felt. 'If only I could give her a hug,' he thought. To make her know that he knew exactly how she felt. That she wasn't on the boat alone. 'If only,' he thought sadly.
Usagi smiled sadly, she looked over a small altar near the wall wish held a picture of her parents with some in scented candles. "It's alright. Don't worry," mumbled Usagi assuring. "Look I still have to do some work I better go now," Usagi excused herself. Luna and Artemis quickly followed her up the stairs to her room.
"Poor Usagi," said Ginny sadly.
"I didn't know. I just wanted to ask," whispered Hermione saddened that she had made her friend almost cry.
"It's alright Hermione you didn't know," said Ron assuring giving her a hug before she erupted into a crying fit.
Harry starred at the way Usagi went. He wanted to hug her more than everything right now. He wanted to assure her that everything was going to be fine. That she wasn't alone. 'If only,' he thought.
~Usagi's room~
"If only I was there to prevent their deaths!" shouted Usagi crying hugging her pillow.
"Don't blame yourself, you didn't know it was going to happen," soothed Luna sitting next to a crying Usagi.
"If only was able to protect them," cane a muffled crying reply from Usagi.
"That's what you keep on saying 'If only…' You can't change it. It happened there was nothing you can do," said Artemis.
Just then Shingo came walking into her room. He saw his sister running to her room crying. He came here to see what is going on. He heard the conversation between Usagi and the two Moon cats. "There was nothing you could do," mumbled Shingo taking a seat next to a crying Usagi.
Usagi looked up and saw Shingo, "Shingo?" she whispered. Shingo was the only one that truly understood her in a way. Since he was her little brother. He would help her in the time she needed someone the most. He helps her in the time when she was crying for her death of their parents so many times. Both of them were looking out for each other more. Usagi couldn't believe what could happen to her if Shingo wasn't there for her. She hugged Shingo as if he was her lifeline.
"Don't blame yourself. You couldn't have done anything. Not even Sailor Moon. I thought we have been over it already. Get a grip Usagi," said Shingo as he hugged his sister tightly. He suddenly began crying himself. He now knew how much he loved his sister even though he may not show it.
Usagi nodded and pulled away. She laughed when she saw Shingo crying himself. "Some way of comforting me. Now you are crying too," she started to laugh.
Shingo laughed as well and wiped away his tears, "Hey I was caught up in the moment!" he defended. He hugged her suddenly. "Don't you die on me too understand? I don't know what I would do with out you," he said suddenly before pulling away again.
Usagi let go another sob and nodded her head. "The same goes out to you," she said. She then turned to her two cat advisors. "And the same to you two understand?" she added.
"Of course!" said Luna tears started to flow.
"Hai, same here," answered Artemis some tears came flowing out of his kitty eyes.
"Okay now that we all cried enough. It is getting a bit touchy. So lets get some dinner already," announced Shingo wiping his face.
Usagi nodded and stood up, she quickly hugged Shingo again, "Thanks little bro," she whispered. Shingo just nodded.
"C'mon lets go now. I am hungry!" said Usagi loudly.
~Dinner~
Tonight Usagi, Shingo and Uncle Sam joined the Weasleys for dinner. All of them were talking and laughing about their day's events. Shingo complaining about the loads of work he had to do today.
"So Arthur, Molly any information about the Sailor Senshi?" asked Uncle Sam suddenly.
Usagi choked on her rice and Shingo had to pound on her back. She looked at her Uncle as if he was insane for bringing up that topic. Her Uncle just shrugged and went back with his eating.
Mr. Weasley put his fork down and looked upset, "Nothing not a clue! Like they from the ministry said. The Senshi have disappeared from the phase of the earth. All day long we are rummaging trough old news papers to only find nothing!" exclaimed Mr. Weasley angrily.
"Now, now dear calm down. Tomorrow we are heading to a wizarding library and do some research there," assured Mrs. Weasley.
Usagi was relieved that Kurosawa-san didn't give away any information. She listened to Mr. Weasley rant on with pleasure. It was fun to see him all worked up.
"Usagi may I remind you that tomorrow you'll have to work. There is a lot of work to be done," informed Uncle Sam waving his fork at Usagi.
Usagi eyed to forked incase it would slip from her uncles hand and fly in her direction. "Yeah, yeah. You already told me hundred times," she said popping a piece of bread in her mouth.
"So you kids are just going to stay here tomorrow?" asked Uncle Sam turning to the four.
"Yeah, we will be doing our homework," answered Hermione.
"C'mon Hermione you cant be serious," whined Ron.
"Well I see you will be doing you homework. Not like some people," said Uncle Sam looking at Usagi and Shingo who cringed at his gaze.
"Who us?" asked Usagi innocently. She turned to Shingo pretending to have heard wrong. "Is he talking about us?"
Shingo shock his head, "Not us," he said. He cringed at his uncles' gaze.
Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry laughed. "You are free to join us," said Harry while laughing. Usagi mouthed a thank-you at him. Her Uncle was more pleased now.
"Oh and may I remind you Usagi," began Uncle Sam. "Tomorrow you'll be picking up Mr. Ludwig von Makkern and his family at the airport." He said calmly.
Usagi turned to her Uncle with a bewildered expression, "Excuse me?" she asked.
"He is the Minister of Magic from Switzerland. They came here for vacation. They will be arriving tomorrow. They have requested to be picked up at the airport." Informed her Uncle.
"How will I get there?" asked Usagi.
"The ministry of magic has provided cars. They will be here tomorrow to pick you up and then go to the airport." Uncle Sam said.
"Okay I guess," mumbled Usagi. Going back to her dinner.
Everyone quickly finished dinner. They all went to their beds for a good night rest. Since most of them were still tired of their day's events they did.
~Usagi's room~
Usagi had already changed into her Pjs when Luna and Artemis came bounding into her room and settled themselves on her bed.
"Wonderful day it was," said Artemis contently. "We didn't see Angel anywhere," he added snuggling deeper into Usagi's blanket.
"And I have finally come to a conclusion," announced Luna happily.
Usagi lay in bed and propped her head on her elbow and looked at Luna suspiciously. "And what would that be?" she asked.
"Oh nothing, just has to do with the boy, Harry Potter." Answered Luna smugly.
Usagi came to full attention and stared at Luna suspiciously. 'What's going on in that Kitty head of hers?' she thought. "And what would that be," she asked.
Luna smiled a kitty smile. "He really seems like a fine young man," she said sleepily. She really liked Harry. He seemed really nice, caring and friendly. 'Just perfect for Usagi,' she added mentally.
Usagi groaned and turned of the lights. "Not that 'fine young man' thing Luna" she said into the darkness.
"Good night Usagi," said both Luna and Artemis at the same time.
"Good night," she mumbled. 'So Harry was a 'fine young man' he really is cute! So, why am I over reacting at Luna and why am I blushing?' she thought. 'You like him,' answered her mind. 'Okay now happy, I like him no big deal, right?' she thought. A small smile crept on her lips before falling into deep sleep dreaming on the possibilities between her and Harry.
~~~Next Day~~~
Usagi hummed silently to herself. Smiling brightly at some of the guest and at her co-workers. Today was a fine day, the sun was shinning to its brightest. Today she wore a blue tank top and a pair of pants. Her hair was done its usual French braid that almost reached the ground.
In her arms she carried some fresh linen sheets for the beds and some fresh towels there were also some Owl food for the owls. She was heading to room 105, Harry and Ron's room. To change the sheets of their bed and give put some new towels in their bathroom and feed their owls. In her pockets jingled happily the keys to their room. Usagi thought Harry and Ron were already down for some breakfast since it was already past 8, but how wrong she was. (AN: ^.^ you'll see!)
She reached the door with its golden magical numbers reading 105. She pulled out the keys, trying to balance the linen sheets and towels in one hand she unlocked the door and opened it. The room was a bit of a mess, some clothing was everywhere and things were thrown askew. Usagi sighed, 'Sometimes there are people more messier than me,' she thought.
She closed the door and headed to Hedwigs and Pigs perch stand. Both owls hooted in greeting. Usagi smiled slightly, she placed her things on the table and held out a bag full of owl seeds. "Look what I got for you two," said Usagi smiling as the owls hooted happily at the sight of food. Hedwig flew over her and nipped her earlobe as a thank you before settling her self back on her perch. Usagi giggled lightly, she poured some seeds into each bowl for the owls at their perches. Immediately the owls dug in and ate. "There you go," said Usagi smiling. She quickly grabbed her things and headed to the bedrooms.
She entered the bedrooms half expecting Harry to be here but to her relief no one was there. Both beds were empty one bed was really messy and clothes are almost everywhere. The other bed was messy a bit but not as messy the other side. Sighing Usagi put down her things on one of the beds. 'Boys' she thought wryly. She grabbed the towels and headed towards the bathroom. The only problem is that she didn't notice the water running in the bathroom until it was too late.
When Usagi entered the bathroom the first thing she noticed is that the water was running and it was a bit foggy. She immediately turned her head to the showers only to notice Harry half stepping out of the showers and he looked as shocked as she was.
"AHHHH!!" shouted Usagi in embarrassment. She quickly threw the towels at Harry, who was vainly trying to cover himself anything reachable, the only thing was a tiny washcloth.
"Usagi?!" Harry shouted when he saw her enter the bathroom and while he was stepping out of the showers. He really looked embarrassed. He didn't expect her to right barge into the bathroom while he was showering nonetheless he was half-naked.
Usagi covered her face with her hands and quickly shouted "Sorry" before darting out the bathroom and into the bedroom. She sat down at one of the beds. Her face was flushed and red. "Kami-sama what just happened," she mumbled she covered her face with her hands. She just saw the famous Harry Potter, naked. Her blush became redder at that thought.
Trying to change that thought, she quickly changed both beds covers and made them all neatly. She quickly picked up all the discarded clothing on the floor and started to fold them neatly. She looked up when a blushing furiously Harry came walking out of the bathroom. And to Usagi's luck he was wearing a towel around his waist that was all. Usagi started to blush furiously again and started to fold the cloths faster.
"I am so sorry," said Usagi looking up from her folding. She blushed even more when she took in Harry's wet state and body. 'Okay so he may not have a body builders body but what the heck he is standing right infront of me half naked!' she thought wryly before blushing even redder.
Harry blushed and walked to his side of the room for some clothes. He felt really embarrassed right now. He was standing infront of the girl that he likes and he is half naked. "Its…its… Alright… don't worry," he mumbled blushing like crazy not meeting her eyes.
"I am really sorry I didn't know you where in here. I only noticed you when it was too…late," trailed of Usagi blushing like crazy. She quickly finished the folding and placed all the folded clothes on the bed. She turned around and was bout the walk out of the room when she noticed Harry was still standing there and he wasn't changed yet.
Usagi blushed as she took in again his profile, 'Okay so he is not what we call Macho but still he looks sexy,' she thought. She quickly looked away and blushed like mad. "I'd better be off. Sorry again." With that she darted out of the room with the old linen sheets in hand blushing like crazy.
"Oh boy," muttered Harry sitting down on his freshly made bed. He still blushed at the thought that Usagi saw him, well, naked. A small smile crept on his face, 'She sure does look cute with that blush,' he thought while changing into his clothes.
~
Harry came down to the dinning area fully dressed but there were still hints of blushing. He took a seat next Ron who looked up quizzically.
"What's wrong?" asked Ron seeing Harry's flushed face.
"Nothing, nothing at all," answered Harry hastily waving his hands. He blushed again when he remembered his ordeal with Usagi.
"Well then we already have ordered your breakfast. It'll be here shortly, since you were still up in your room god knows what," mumbled Hermione putting down the latest Daily Mystic newspaper.
"Mum and dad already left for the Wizarding Library," informed Ginny.
"I really wish I could have gone with them. I wanted to read more about the Sailor Senshi," muttered Hermione angrily.
Just then Usagi came walking towards their table with the magic trolley full of food along with her. Usagi blushed when she saw Harry sitting there. 'Great, just great,' she mentally cursed. "Here you go," she said slowly placing their food infront of them.
"Usagi you alright? You look flushed, you look sick," asked Hermione concerned she took in Usagi's flushed face.
Usagi blushed even more. She quickly darted her eyes to Harry, who starred back at her also blushing like crazy. She quickly turned away laughing nervously. "No, no, no. I'm fine. Well then enjoy your meal," she then quickly darted back to the kitchen.
"That was strange," mumbled Ron confused.
"…" Harry stayed silent still trying to forget the memory of Usagi walking into the bathroom. He blushed furiously and quickly went back to his eating.
"Hai, Hai, Hai. I already know. I have to pick up the minter at the airport! I am going already see?!" shouted Usagi across the room to her Uncle. She grabbed a jacket since it looked like it was going to rain.
"Hurry, your ride is already here. And remember not…" Uncle Sam said but was cut of by and irritated Usagi.
Usagi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, not to talk to muggles. Gees, I am not 7 years old," she mumbled walking out the door and into the huge black limo that the ministry provided.
"But sometime I think you act like one," muttered Uncle Sam under his breath as the limo drove away.
~ 4 hours later~
"Where is your sister Shingo?!" shouted Uncle Sam for the ninety-seventh time. He looked at the huge grandfather clock. It was already 4 hours since Usagi left and she still hasn't returned.
Shingo shrugged his shoulders and went back to his reading with Harry and the others. "Maybe the flight was delayed. Just look at the weather out there. It's a storm," he said pointing out the dark sky. Outside a strong and angry storm ragged. Rain came pelting down and hit the huge windows hard, thunder and lightning came crashing down hard.
"Maybe your right, I just hope they are alright," mumbled Uncle Sam he went back to sorting all the bills.
"The flight just got delayed that's all," said Hermione putting down her quill and rolling up her parchment with her Charm essay.
"What do you mean delayed?" asked Ginny quizzically.
"And what is an airplane?" asked Ron both of them knew nothing of muggle technology since they are born from a wizarding family.
"An airplane is a contraption to fly for muggles if they travel long distances. It carries the muggles from one place to another," informed Harry shaking his head at his friend's clueless ness. He still hadn't got over the fact Usagi saw him in the bath, when he thinks about it a blush came to his face. He tried to put it as far into his brain as possible.
"The flight got probably delayed because of the storm. Airplanes cant fly in this kind of weather." Added Hermione. Ron and Ginny shock their head that they understood now.
"I guess they are already here," said Shingo, he pointed outside the door. They were trying to make out a black car had just driven up. They were able to see people scurrying out of the door and quickly get the baggage from the back compartment.
"Oh they're here," exclaimed Uncle Sam seeing figures approach the inn.
The door burst open, to reveal a big, fat, jolly man wearing forest green robes that were soaking wet. Along side him was probably his wife, a thin, short woman wearing some wet green robes. With them was a young scrawny boy, with lots of freckles, he looked about 17 and wore also a wet green. All of them looked quite pleased of them inn. The Minster smiled broadly, he was quite pleased with the inn, he was also very happy to be out of the cold weather.
"Ah, mister Ludwig. Welcome to the Magic Room!" said Uncle Sam proudly shaking one of the beefy hands of the Minster of Switzerland.
Again the door opened, letting a rush of cold wind mixed with cold rain rush in. Usagi came running in soaking wet. Her clothes clung to her as if they were her second skin. She was shivering to the bone. She carried over four huge bags with her and let them drop on the carpeted floor. Her hair was done in twin pigtails that were clinging to her back possessively. She was still holding a paper sign that said 'Herr Ludwig von Makkern' the green magical ink was running from the wetness. She glared angrily at her Uncle.
"For your information, the flight got delayed for another 3 hours. I had to wait and you know what I had to wait outside in the rain for three hours! I am cold, I am wet and I think I am going to have a serious cold," said Usagi angrily wringing out some water of her hair.
Her Uncle laughed nervously at Usagi, "Well at least you are here already." He said smiling slightly. He cringed when Usagi gave him 'the look'.
Mr. Ludwig just laughed loudly, seeming not to have understood a thing the two of them were saying. He quickly grabbed Usagi and gave her a huge bone- crushing hug. "Wunderbar! Alles ist okay! This place is wunderbar!" he shouted before releasing a green Usagi. His wife and son nodded furiously.
Uncle Sam grinned proudly, "Of course. Now lets see and get you settled in," he said leading them to the receptionist desk.
"Ja, this here is Matilda, und das hier is Rudolf my son. You can call me Johan," said Mr. Ludwig in his heavy Switz accent. Mixing his English with some German words.
Usagi grumbled loudly leaving her Uncle with the Switz, minister. She walked tiredly towards her brother and her friends who were busy making their homework. While she was walking she was leaving a wet trail of rain behind. They all looked up when they saw her coming towards them.
"Don't dare to laugh," muttered Usagi angrily, holding up her hands. Her jacket hung lifelessly behind her soaking wet.
"You look like a lost puppy in the rain," grinned Shingo when he saw his wet sister.
"I take that as a compliment," mumbled Usagi, she wringed her other pigtail out of water. Mr. Ludwig turned her hairstyle into twin pigtails thinking that it was funny. "I am going to the hot bath. I need a hot bath," mumbled Usagi she then slowly walked towards the huge Japanese hot baths.
"There are hot baths here?" asked Harry quite surprised that there are such thing here. At the mention of bath, he began to flush again. 'Great, calm yourself.' He ordered mentally.
Shingo looked surprised that they didn't know about it. "You don't know? There are, it's like a Japanese bath. It's really soothing. Maybe you guys wanna try it out," suggested Shingo he pointed them the way towards the bath.
"Oh great! This will be so much fun," said Ginny excitedly as they walked towards the bath. She was a bit disappointed that Shingo couldn't come with them since he still had some work to do.
"I really think we should do our homework," said Hermione as they walked inside a huge room. There were two doors leading to boys and girls locked room. They split up and went to the locker rooms were they found some spare bathing suits for them.
Harry was contemplating of going to the bath since Usagi was there. It'll be just another memory of what happened that morning. He quickly changed into a pair of blue bathing trunks. (AN: O.o!) And followed Ron out of the locker room and into the huge bathing hall.
When they entered the hall the first thing they noticed, everything was white. The walls were painted with sceneries of different mountains and volcanoes. Warm steam was everywhere. The hall had different kinds of small pools in it. Some with swirling water, somewhere just a few feet deep, some were very deep for swimming. And there were some were you just can sit and relax. There were already some guests inside the bath relaxing and swimming. They quickly noticed Mdm. Hadley in one of the swirling baths wearing a pink polka-dot bathing hat.
"This place is great!" squealed Ginny excitedly hoping around in her pink bathing suit.
"I really think we should just finish our homework," muttered Hermione, she wore a purple bathing suit.
"C'mon Hermione enjoy it for a while. Gees loosen up!" said Ron he wore a pair of green bathing suit. Hermione just grumbled and folded her arms across her chest.
"Look over this Usagi, c'mon let go and join her," squealed Ginny she quickly walked towards Usagi, who was alone in one of the pools.
Harry just followed silently. He really felt uncomfortable with Usagi right now, 'I bet she feels the same way,' he thought silently. 'Well at least you got to admit she looks cute with a blush,' he thought silently.
Usagi sighed contently, she took another deep breath and dunked herself underwater letting her hair gets lose from the pigtails, it drifted around her like a golden hail-o. She came back up for air. Sighing contently she leaned against the wall of the pool letting her hair drift around her in the water. 'This will clear my mind,' she thought happily. A slight blush formed on her cheeks from the warm water. She adjusted the strap of her blue bikini. 'Clear my mind' she chorused. Then a picture of Harry with a towel flashed in her mind. She then remembered her ordeal with Harry. She began blushing furiously again.
"Ahh!" she moaned loudly, she splashed her face with some water. She never felt so embarrassed in her whole life. 'But he looked so…cute. Vulnerable at time, I think that was kinda…sexy,' she thought wryly her mind drifting again. A small smile played on her lips as she thought about it more. She bit her lips, 'He's cute,' she thought again.
She looked up when she saw four looming shadows over her, she mentally groaned 'Harry,' she began to blush furiously when he looked down at her. "Hey, since you're here why don't you join me," said Usagi smiling trying to hide her blush.
Ginny squealed in delight, she quickly jumped into the water creating a small tidal wave hitting Usagi full on. "Sorry," mumbled Ginny blushing. She quickly leaned on the wall of the pool and began relaxing. Harry, Ron and Hermione followed into the pool, the pool wasn't quite that big so they had to sit together a bit closer. Harry was able to sit next to Usagi.
Usagi smiled lightly, pushing away some wet hair from her eyes. Ginny always reminded her of herself when she used to be a bit more carefree. Sighing lightly as she remembered the old days. She then noticed who was sitting next to her, awfully close next to her. She mentally groaned, 'Harry,' a slight blush tinged her cheeks. She noticed that Ron and Hermione were too busy to notice the discomfort of Usagi since both of them were again arguing. And Ginny had already dozed off to sleep. Usagi sighed, 'Just my luck,' she thought. She turned to Harry and offered him a slight but blushing smile.
Harry blushed when he was sitting next to Usagi, 'Well at least your close to her,' he thought dryly. He returned her smile lightly also blushing a bit.
"Usagi, you…you didn't tell anybody did you?" asked Harry blushing.
Usagi blushed and furiously shock her head in a no, "No, you don't tell anyone either!" said Usagi slowly blushing also.
Harry nodded, he smiled lightly. "It'll be a secret then," he said slowly. He was still blushing but he felt better now. More comfortable.
Usagi blushed, she nodded, "A secret. Our secret," she whispered. She could feel how close their bodies were. Unconsciously she moved a bit closer to him making their bodies almost touch. She smiled up at Harry, who in turn returned her smile. She liked this feeling again.
~Somewhere In London~
"Soon," said a raspy voice of Voldemort. He looked into the flames and there was a picture of a smiling/blushing Usagi sitting next in the water with a blushing/smiling Harry. "It'll be soon," whispered Voldemort he grabbed the picture of Usagi with his hands making it vanish. He started to laugh manically when he had an idea.
"Mass—ter?" said a cowering Pettigrew. He cowered in the corner of the dark room. He saw the evil glint in his master's eyes. He whimpered in fright. "What do we do now?" he asked again.
Voldemort turned to him, an evil glint in his eyes. "It'll happen soon. We attack soon," he started laughing evilly again. "Then," he pointed his finger to the fireplace which roared and became bigger a picture of Princess serenity and the crystal in her hand was shown. "She and the crystal will be mine," the picture was replaced by a dead serenity and a black crystal. Voldemort started to laugh again. Pettigrew whimpered in the corner because of his master's laugh.
"Soon," repeated Voldemort looking deep into the flames.
