I humbly beg forgiveness to all those who have been waiting for an update. School and work were just dominating my days. Summer has arrived and that means only work can distract me from writing.
It also helped to have a review with the word 'update' typed 26,376 times. So Angelic Master, here you are.
Disclaimers: Sailor Moon and Harry Potter do not belong to me.
Warnings: Swearing
Part 5Hermione didn't come to till the end of potions. It was truly an understatement to say that she was mad.
"What in bloody hell did she do to me!!" Yelled Hermione.
Haruka, who had been sitting on one of the desks while Harry and Ron tried to awaken Hermione, looked towards her. "Be grateful that she didn't do anything worse." She said. "That was really, really stupid of you. What were you thinking?"
"What do you mean we should be grateful?!" roared Ron in anger. "That…that bitch could have killed her! And you're telling us we should be grateful!"
"And that bitch, to which I wholeheartedly agree she is, is practically my sister." She responded. "Do be wise and remember that." With a small sigh she jumped of the desk and walked to them. "Listen to me carefully you three. Don't go against Mako-chan lest you have the means to win. In other words, don't piss her off."
"What about you? You seem to be able to take her." Asked Harry.
Frowning, Haruka went to gather her things. "C'mon, class starts in 10." She then walked out.
Ron looked to Harry who just shrugged and helped Hermione with her things. Herbology went well, especially for Makoto since she specializes in plants. While Haruka excelled in Charms with the wind at her call.
At lunchtime, Makoto and Haruka left their friendly company and met on front of the gargoyle to the teacher's offices.
"The giants' late." Said Makoto.
"His name's Hagrid, Mako." Drawled Haruka.
"Whatever."
"Theas' yous are." Said Hagrid. His booming voice resounding in the corridors.
"Hello." They both said.
"Come on now. We's only gots in hour, and Ims sures yous a wantin to look aroun some."
"I plan on buying a broom. Do you know where the store is?"
"Ov course I do 'Aruka. It'll be ours second stop."
"Wonderful! Well, Hagrid my good man, lead the way."
Reaching Diagon ally they were enthralled at the site before them. Sure, they new magick and made use of it, but they tried not to abuse it. If they were capable of handling something without magick, then it was done without it. They saw people popping in and out, like transporting. Back home, transporting was only done in dire emergencies. It seemed that this wizarding world they have fallen into didn't ever experience or relish accomplishing anything for themselves. What was it they call it, oh yes, the muggle way.
"Well," Haruka drawled, "they seem to easily misuse their talents." Leaning in a little so that only Makoto heard.
"It does seem that way doesn't it." Makoto mused as she looked at the window advertising a sale of pixie wings. "But we must remember that this is their way of life. All they've ever known on how to do things. We cannot judge. Besides, it seems that were going to have to use our magick more these days, especially if we're going to pass these classes."
"Do you think were rusty?"
The two senshi stopped in thought. Looking at each other, a smirk slowly starting to form. "Nah!" they said in unison.
" 'Aruka! Makoto! Don't wants yous to get lost nows dos I's," Hagrid said with a goofy smile. " 'Ere it is! Ollivanders, the only place to get yer wands."
A bell rang as they opened the door into the creepy little shop. It was so dusty that Makoto was itching to start cleaning.
"Well, well I've been wondering when you two would be coming in." An old man said as he reappeared from the back carrying some numbered boxes.
"Ello Ollivander sir! These are Kino Makoto and Tennoh 'Aruka."
"Ah, of course Hagrid, how good to see you again. Doing well I hope?" Glowing eyes asked the giant.
"Y-yes sir!" Hagrid stuttered nervously. "He, he, um, I'll just wait outside. Ah, yeah." At that, the giant quickly left.
"That is some affect you have on him Mr. Ollivander." Stated Haruka.
"Yes, it seems I do, don't I. " Ollivander said turning to the two girls. "Miss Kino, Miss Tennoh, I know exactly what you need. Just one moment if you please."
Ollivander then disappeared once more into the dusty backroom.
"Should I be creeped out?" asked Makoto.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Haruka said rolling her eyes and picking up a numbered box off the counter.
Tilting her head in thought she realized her words. "Hmm, that's true. Forget I asked." She said with a shrug.
"Ah! Here they are!" Ollivander's voice sounded as he came back with two boxes which, were not numbered, but colored.
Picking up the navy wooden box he opened it and a gust of strong wind blew out. Inside was a beautiful white wand with depictions of the four winds blowing all around in a silvery hue.
"Miss Tennoh this is for you. Twelve-and-a-half inches. Ash. Sturdy and confidant with the winds at your call." Ollivander said as he handed her the wand. "Alright then give it a whirl."
Haruka took the wand making her emit a bluish hue all around her. She flicked the wand, which caused an indoor tempest. The howling wind ripped through the store knocking down bookcases and shelves that held thousands of wands. Haruka then quickly flicked her wand again making the whirling tempest die down.
"Um..oops?"
"Quite interesting Miss Tennoh. I suggest you be careful." Stated Ollivander. He then took the emerald box and opened it. A reddish-brown wand lay within surrounded with sparking electricity. On the handle was a thunderbolt depiction while the rest had plant life growing from the rim of the handle to the tip of the wand. Not wanting to be electrocuted, Ollivander waited for the electricity to relinquish before picking up the wand and handing it to Makoto.
"The lady who brought me these wands also gave me a message for you. That even though you could have shrunk your staff to become your wand, it had too much power and would release too much as well for simple spells taught at Hogwarts. That this wand will help you control and hone your power so that you won't lose control."
"Did this lady give you a name Mr. Ollivander?" Makoto asked as she flicked her wand. Every type of plant imaginable seemed to grow rapidly in the disheveled store.
"She told me you'd ask that and told to tell you 'tuna fish.' She said you'd understand." The old man replied as he saw Makoto flick her wand again and causing his store to once more be nature free.
"Yes, I do. Thanks."
"How much do we owe you Mr. Ollivander?" Haruka asked, pulling out her pouch full of coins.
"Nothing my dears. I didn't make these, just held them till you came to get them."
"Once again, thank you." Makoto said as she moved to the door. "Goodbye then."
"Goodbye young ones."
Outside, Haruka and Makoto were greeted by Hagrid, "I figures ye be thirsty." He said, handing them two cold drinks.
"Thanks Hagrid." Makoto then giggled as they continued their way down the alley. "It seems we've been saying 'thanks' all day doesn't it."
"Actually, I think that's called being respectful Mako." Replied Haruka.
Makoto smiled in return. "Shut it, you."
"Ere ye go 'Aruka. This is 'Supplies and Quidditch', the only place to get ye brooms."
"Ah! Finally, the good stuff." Tossing her empty drink can Haruka disappeared within the store.
"Well, that's the last we'll see of her for awhile." Makoto said as she tossed her own drink. "I'll be in that clothing store we passed, come get me when Haruka's finished."
They had missed the remainder of their classes for the day, but that wasn't much of a loss.
The next day, as Makoto was eating breakfast, a long green package dropped onto her food. Looking up, she saw Haruka coming towards her table caring her own package, smiling like an idiot.Shoving some slytherins that were sitting across from Mako, Haruka planted herself amidst the snakes den. Suffice to say that none of the Slytherins were happy with a gryffindor at their table.
"Open it Mako! Come on, open it! I got it for you yesterday."
Cautiously, I opened the oddly wrapped package. Looking back at Haruka quizzically, I lifted the object. "A broom!? You bought me a broom? Did you break the one I had at home?"
"It's not a sweeping broom Mako, honestly! Besides, why would I ever give you any cleaning supplies."
"Mm, you do have a point there."
"It's a flying broom," interrupted Draco as he touched the handle, "and a quite expensive one. A Wind Screamer. Two at that." Draco said indicating towards Haruka's own package.
Haruka just grinned. "That's right Draco! Once I heard of Quidditch, I just had to get one. And of course dominate the game."
Draco arched an eyebrow in response to not only the bold decloration, but at being addressed by name by a Gryffindor.
"Do you even know how to play Quidditch?" sneered the dark haired boy next to Draco.
"Not yet! But tryouts are three weeks away, plenty of time to learn." Haruka answered as she got up to leave.
"And what position are you intending to take over Tennoh?" Draco lazily asked as he picked at his potatoes.
Halting her walk back to her own table, Haruka half turned, a smirk gracing her
face. With a loud and distinct voice, she answered:
"Seeker"TBC…Criticism and praises are both welcomed.
