MATTERS OF THE HEART
CHAPTER FOUR
BY:
Vale, Vince (Saturn Angels)

(September 1, King's Cross)

"Is it me…or does it look like we're the only ones carrying owls?" Hotaru asked as she watched the people staring at them.

(A/N: These are brief descriptions of their owls. They are not real owls so don't flame me saying 'No! There's no such thing as a blue owl!' or whatever.

Ami's owl = Dark blue almost black with greenish-aqua eyes. Name: Mercury
Hotaru's owl = Black with dark blue-violet eyes. Name: Saturn
Usagi's owl = White with blue eyes. Name: Sunshine (^^; hehe…)
Rei's owl = Dark red almost brown with orange-gold eyes. Name: Mars)

"Usagi…why'd you name your owl Sunshine anyway? Why not after our planet like we did?" Ami asked as they continued searching for the platform.

"Cause I wanted to be unique! If it was named Moon it would sound stupid." She answered with a sophisticated nod.

"How do we get on the platform anyway?" Hotaru asked confused.

"I don't know. Uhh…Haruka?"

Haruka looked around, "Eh…you…er…walk between platforms 9 and 10 straight through the wall. And yea…"

"You sure? I mean the wall looks pretty solid to me…" Usagi commented as she looked at the wall strangely.

"Of course I'm sure!" Haruka said sweatdropping.

Michiru sighed, "Yes, you just go straight through the platform and Poof! Magically you're on the platform with the right train and everything. Now, Haruka and I have very serious business to attend. We'll send you letters everyday, and see you in winter. Have fun" she said then proceeded in dragging Haruka out of King's Cross Station.

Hotaru watched the duo leave, shrugged and looked around then ran for it with her bags and Saturn of course, she closed her eyes bracing herself for the crash. Amazingly she ran through she opened her eyes and looked around. There was a scarlet steam engine; it was waiting next to a platform jam-packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, 11:00. Behind Hotaru there was a wrought-iron archway where the barrier had been, it now read Platform Nine and Three-quarters. And there were now a lot of people carrying things much like theirs, Hotaru looked around and waited for the others to join her.

Usagi stared at the place where Hotaru had vanished, "…Rei you go next!" she said pushing Rei in front of herself.

Rei sweatdropped, "N-Nani? …" she took a deep breath and braced herself. She ran once she made sure no one was looking and found herself standing next to Hotaru in the place that was described already. (^^; what? You can't blame me for being lazy!)

Usagi stared at the place, "…Ami?"

Ami shook her head, "Usagi-chan. You should go first…just in case it closes or something and you're left here."

Usagi gulped and looked at the barrier, she puffed up her cheeks and looked determined, "Alrighty. Come on Sunshine!" she said before running through the barrier. Rei and Hotaru met her there.

"About time Usagi! Now we have to wait for Ami…" Rei said as they turned and watched for the presence of Ami.

Ami looked around to make certain that no one was watching them. She ran through and saw everyone waiting for her.

"Know what? This place is pretty cool! Is this Hogwarts?" Usagi asked confused.

Rei rolled her eyes and pointed to a sign that said 'Hogwarts Express'.

"Eh…I knew that!" Usagi said sweatdropping.

"Yeah right…"

Hotaru sighed and shook her head, "Anyway, I think we should actually get on the train before it leaves without us."

"I agree." Ami said with a nod.

The four senshi walked into the train and had to go all the way to the compartment at the back to find room for them though there were three other people inside also. A boy with brown messy hair and green eyes, wearing glasses; a redhead boy with freckles, apparently tall though it was sort of hard to tell while he was sitting down; and a girl with bushy brown hair, she was the only girl out of the three but now that Hotaru, Ami, Rei, and Usagi entered…the two boys were easily outnumbered.

"Hi!" Usagi said as she and Rei sat down across from them, Hotaru and Ami sat in front of them. "I'm Tsukino Usagi! And this is Hino Rei, Tomoe Hotaru, and Mizuno Ami! We come from Japan so our surnames come before our names. So my name is Usagi and my last name is Tsukino."

"Japan?" Hermione asked interested, "I never read about magic schools in Japan. Are there many?"

Usagi blinked, "…Eh…not really…" "What are your names?" Ami asked changing the subject.

"I'm Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter." Hermione said pointing to each one as she introduced them. "I'm sure you know all about Harry, right?"

Usagi blinked, "…Should we?" she asked confused.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, "…Well everyone who was raised in a wizard family usually does. Or were you all raised by muggles?"

Rei remembered what a muggle was and nodded, "Yes we were." She answered.

"Are you all related?" Ron asked as all of them agreed with Rei.

Usagi blinked and looked at her teammates guessing that Rei and Hotaru could pass for relatives…but Usagi and Ami?

Ami shook her head, "No. Just really good friends," she answered.

Harry nodded a bit as did the others, silence filled the compartment until Usagi started speaking, though her words were directed at Harry.

"You know, you should really wear contacts." She said as she examined Harry's face. "Your eyes are a really pretty color and it'd make you look a lot cuter, not that you need to, you're cute enough already."

Harry flushed slightly, "I…uh might try it some time…"

Hotaru smirked at this, and Rei sweatdropped saying, "Anata wa baka Usagi-chan." (Translation: You're an idiot Usagi)

Usagi pouted, "Am not Rei! You're so mean!" before Usagi could begin bawling the door to the compartment opened and surprised the senshi, so thankfully they were saved from Usagi's waterworks. Three boys stepped in, the same age as everyone else in that compartment. Though the two following the one in the middle, whom Hotaru recognized as Draco Malfoy, were slightly taller then the rest…except possibly Ron.

"So nice to see you again, Potter." He said mockingly.

"I wish I could say the same about you, Malfoy, but unfortunately I can't." Harry replied as he rolled his eyes towards the heavens.

"Are you back here just to bug us? If you are I suggest you leave." Hermione said glaring.

He glared back, "You be quiet Mudblood."

She growled some, but before Hermione, Ron, or Harry could say anything else Usagi finally found out why he was so familiar.

"Heeyy…you're that guy that we met at Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, right?" Usagi asked as she looked at him carefully.

He raised an eyebrow and turned to face her, he remembered her…she was the immature one that was with that Tomoe girl.

"Yeah! You're the one Hotaru was staring-,"

Hotaru shot Rei a death-glare fit to make even the great Hiiro Yui tremble.
[Hiiro: …hn]

"I mean…you're the one Hotaru was talking to right?" Rei said sweatdropping.

He only nodded in response and looked around for Hotaru, soon enough he found her, I mean how hard would it be in a room with ten people in it? (Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Usagi, Ami, Rei, Hotaru, Ron, Hermione, and Harry) "Tomoe, you and your little friends should soon find out that some wizarding families are better then others."

Harry rolled his eyes, "Malfoy, they can decide who they want to hang out with for themselves, we've heard your speech before."

Hotaru smiled at Draco, "Well then Malfoy-kun…I shall see if you are worthy of hanging around with us."

He frowned and left the compartment followed by his posse.

Moments later a woman with a cart full of stuff the senshi had never dreamed of came by, "Anything off the cart dears?"

Hotaru got a bunch of Berttie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans to share with all the senshi.

Everyone each got a box…excluding Usagi who got three to ensure that the other's boxes would be safe while they ate.

Rei gagged on her first one, "That tasted like spinach…"

Ron smirked, "When they say every flavor, they mean every flavor"

The other senshi looked at their boxes apprehensively.

Hotaru ate one that was black with white specks; a broad grin appeared on her face, "Oreo!!" she cried in delight.

Usagi at hearing this quickly dug into hers to eat, "S'Mores!" she cried happily.

"Tasted like pizza…" was all Ami said before she ate another one.

"…Why do they get all the good ones?" Rei wondered as she tried another one.

Soon enough after Rei had gagged three times, Usagi hadn't gagged at all, Hotaru and Ami gagged once, a lady came in telling them to get their robes on that they would be there shortly. After they all were in the proper attire Usagi began bouncing on the seat crazily, "Hogwarts, Hogwarts!" she chanted happily.

Rei sighed and everyone stared out the window waiting to get there.


~*Sorting Hat*~

Yeah…I'm lazy, so what?

"And this year students we have four transfers from Japan!! They will be joining you all for their sixth and seventh years here at Hogwarts. First is:

Hino, Rei."

Rei ran up to the chair, sat down, and placed the hat on her head.

'Hmm…I sense a lot of bravery in you…loyalty as well. There's only one place for you… "GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor table clapped, cheered, wolf-whistled, and more as Rei went to go join them.

"Next is…

Mizuno, Ami"

Ami walked up shyly to the hat and placed it on her head blushing a bit as everyone's gaze was on her. The hat hardly even touched her head before it yelled "RAVENCLAW!"

McGonagall, which was the woman's name, nodded approvingly. "Next is…

Tomoe, Hotaru"

Hotaru walked up to the hat and put it on her head reluctantly.

'Hmmm…I sense a strong aura out of you…you're bravery matches any Gryffindor…'

Hotaru's heart leapt at this, maybe she would be placed with Rei!

'Though you have a high intelligence worthy of Ravenclaw…'

Well that fit on account that she was reading Einstein at age…four? Maybe she'd be with Ami?

'Hufflepuff is out of the question…' the hat said again.

Hotaru shrugged slightly.

'…Slytherin would fit you…you have a very dark, sinister past…senshi of silence'

She blinked wondering how it knew who she was.

'Don't be alarmed…I know everything. I know of your pain while possessed by the evil entity Mistress 9, your strength when fighting Pharaoh 90, and your loyalty to your princess and to the world when as Sailor Saturn you defeated Nepherinia. I know all about these things…your loneliness, solitude, and mission as Sailor Saturn senshi of Death, Destruction, and Rebirth… Warrior of Ruin... in Slytherin your powers would be great…'

All the things that beat-up hat knew surprised Hotaru and she shuddered a little hoping that she wouldn't be alone anymore, just being forced to remember everything in her past like that sort of made the lonely senshi…well…lonesome.

'…It better be…' "SLYTHERIN!" the hat cried and among the wolf-whistling, cat calls, clapping, and such Ami and Rei watched Usagi worriedly, would they all be separated? Hotaru walked to the Slytherin table and sat at the end where she rested her head in her hands and watched as Usagi was about to be called.

"And last but not least is:

Tsukino, Usagi!"

Usagi bounded up to the hat joyously and jammed it on her head once she sat down. She could've sworn the hat began laughing.

'There is much energy and happiness here. You are a very kind, special person Tsukino Usagi…I sense that between you and Hotaru there is a strong connection…for light cannot exist without darkness and darkness cannot exist without light. You two are opposites but good friends I think…though it would be impossible for me to send someone like yourself into the Slytherin world…your bravery out matches everyone.' The hat sounded like it was laughing again, 'Definitely not Ravenclaw…You Sailor Moon, are only fit for one place…' "HUFFLEPUFF!!"

She took the hat off and walked to the table that was cheering, clapping, wolf whistling, cat calling, and other things that made Usagi grin and blush a little. She turned to look at Hotaru sadly, then to Rei, and Ami. They were all separated now…

Dumbledore stood up and cleared his throat; "Now that all the first, and sixth year students have been sorted," he smiled at each of the senshi before continuing, "Let the feast begin!" he said grinning. The next thing that Hotaru knew was: in front of her were all of her favorite Japanese, American, and Chinese foods. She smiled and began eating a little bit of everything. Adding another thing to the opposite list between Usagi and Hotaru. Hotaru ate very little of everything, while Usagi grinned and began shoveling the food into her mouth.

"Well, well Tomoe…it's nice to see you so soon…" a voice that she easily recognized said from next to her.

She looked to the side to see Draco, "Hello Malfoy-kun, you never told me you were in Slytherin"

He shrugged not really caring, "This is Crabbe, and Goyle" he motioned to the two that seemed to always follow him.

"Hm." She responded and went back to her meal.

"You know, it would be better that you didn't hang around with your friends in the other houses anymore. We Slytherins usually stick to ourselves."

"You mean the others stick away from Slytherins." She said then turned to face him, "And I don't really care to have that 'Don't bring down the reputation of Slytherin by having friends from other houses' speech because I'm not going to give up my friends just for you, you're not that special. So if that's all you wanted to say you can go ahead and go back to your little Slytherin friends and leave me to eat in peace."

He glowered at her, and then went back to his previous seat that was practically at the other end of the table situated between Crabbe and Goyle and around all the popular people.

'Here I go again…the road of being hated by all those around me except Usagi, Ami, and Rei…they're I'll I have now.' She thought grumpily, 'At least I'll get letters from Michiru-mama, Haruka-papa, and Setsuna-mama everyday…' she sighed agitated then began eating her meal again.
