Disclaimer I don't own HP or SM. Kayla is my own creation, and if I chose to add any other characters that you don't recognize, then credit will be where its due.

A/N: I can't promise this chapter will be action packed or anything, but this is a chapter that I need to get the story going and to set the stage for romance later on. Harry is in his third year if I didn't mention that, because Ginny is in her second. The Sailor Senshi will be starting in year one, and if their age doesn't seem to reflect that of most first years that's because they had to finish public schooling before they could join as well as clean up the threats closer to home. And yes they are kind of like using their powers as senshi for the first time, that will explain itself.

Chapter 3

The great hall was alive with the buzz of chatter as students took their seat at their respective tables awaiting to find out what first years would join them. The teachers started to file in and the room fell quiet when the headmaster tapped a spoon on his glass. The normal announcements were made before the sorting could start, and within minutes the sorting had started. A woman approached the side of the staff table and opened up a long piece of paper. "When I call your name sit on the stool, and I will place the sorting hat on your head. IT will then tell you what house you will be sorted into. First up Ami Mizuno." She called.

Ami smiled taking her glasses off as she took her seat on the stool flashing a quick smile to her friend Kayla even though she couldn't see it. The old hat slid on her head and started to read her mind. This freaked her out to say the least, but she had to remember what was going on and where she was. Once she calmed and cleared her mind, the hat started to speak. "Gryffindor!" it called and with this Ami moved to the table labeled as such.

Next up Rei Hino!" she called as another girl about the same age range as Kayla and Ami were approached the stool… her noticeable red hair down like she liked to keep it her eyes fixed on the sea of faces in front of her.

"Hmmm..." the hat said to her like Ami you are going to be hard to place. The powers you have are dark yet you do not use them for evil. Rather it is safe to say that you haven't. I know…" it then looked as if it was clearing its throught before speaking to the crowd. "Slytherin!" and with that spoken the people at said table started clapping and shouting a little over excited to have a new team member figuratively speaking.

"Kayla Tsukino!" the woman yelled and Kayla stood weekly on her feet. At first she didn't move trying to remain standing , but her legs wanted nothing of it. She had taken a few test steps and nearly landed on her face. "Sit down… I'll bring the hat to you." Kayla didn't try to argue feeling too week to move thanking god her wheelchair wasn't far off. Sitting down she felt the hat upon her head.

"you are week in a lot of respects but at the same time very strong. I could place you with Hino –san however I don't think that would suit you at all." It spoke to her first in her mind then aloud it announced. "Gryffindor!" with this said Kayla moved over to the side not making a move to any table just quite yet. About ten minutes later the sorting was complete, and the same woman who was calling out names escorted her to her table using a little magic spell to get her wheelchair down the two steps and to the Gryffindor table. "Now that the sorting is complete, I would like to say a few more things." The head master started. "As you know the forbidden forest is off limits, it is very dangerous and you may not come back alive if you go there. Also we have five very special students. Their powers are different and like the rest of you need to grow. However, they will be more then just students. Even though they will be taking the same classes as you more pressure will be on training in such classes as Defense Against the Dark Arts." The headmaster said before reciting their names.

As he called her name Kayla tried to hide under her seat with no luck. Harry saw this and a million thoughts ran through his head as he watched the girl in question. ::So that sure explains a lot:: he thought as he tried to focus on his food. ::I'll try and talk to her later after the feast.:: he thought to himself picking at his food. "Are you alright Harry?" Ron asked concern clearly written on his friend's face.

"Yeah, I'm fine its nothing." Harry said quickly as he put his hand on his forehead where a scare had been since he was very little. He rubbed the area around it acting as if it hurt him "I'm just a little tired, things didn't go so well at the Durselys this past summer and this morning before I caught the express Duggly just had to cause a little more trouble for me as usual." He explained only lying partly for his life with his Aunt and Uncle were not all that grand. It was pretty safe to say they were down right abusive to the boy on a daily basis. Yet abuse cases were all very difficult to pin point track down and put a lock on due to lack of edvinance. The one thing he liked was from August until June the fallowing year he could be away from them, and as soon as he was of age he could move out. However for now he had to deal with just only having to live with them for two months out of the year three depending on if they got early June due to the school having to close early.

Harry kept looking over at Kayla more concerned about her then himself. It had taken her a while and now like him she was picking at her food asking people what exactly was on her plate. Many of his fellow house mates were laughing at her and the ones that weren't laughing were making rude comments about her. Ami was telling her what she was eating and once she had an idea she started to eat a bit more normally. "Oh boy that girl is so dumb, I'm shocked that she landed in this place at all." A girl with messey light brown curly hair said sounding rather snobbish about it.

"Honestly Hermimi, if you had to live life like she does you might change your tune. After all I think it took a lot of guts for her to accept the letter knowing that she was the only one like her kind here." Harry snapped in her defense.

"Why are you defending her?!" the girl k now known as Hermimi screeched.

"Hey stop it you two this isn't going to get you anywhere." Ron cut in. "And I'm surprised that you wouldn't know about this kind of thing being the book worm you are." Ron added with a laugh directed at Hermione to lighten up the mood, but when she glared at him he directed his gaze back to his super and began eating it like there was no tomorrow.

Dinner in the great hall ended all too soon and the houses were being sent back to their common room and dorms. Harry couldn't help but watch as Ami and Kayla chatted away and how well they were working side by side. He didn't know why, but he found that he wanted to get to know her some and there would be some time before he was ready to go to bed that he would have a chance to talk to her or so he thought. He didn't count on their transfiguration teacher to be taking up so much of her time. But then again he had to remember that same woman was their head of house and she probly had to explain and make a few minor adjustments so Kayla could get to the dorms. He had learned through listening that if Her legs weren't hurting so much she would have been able to walk small distances, but long flights of stairs and stairs in general would become a problem for sure. It also made him wonder why places like this had so many of them. Ron and Ginny had long since gone to their rooms and Hermione was already hard at work getting ready for the term ahead studying about something. She said she would have read up on people like Kayla if their were such books, but to date she hadn't found any, but then again until now she didn't have a reason too either.

Harry saw his chance and smiled lightly as he approached Kayla when it appeared she was all alone. "Hello, I'm Harry." Harry introduced putting a hand out to shake.

She didn't bother to make a move and Harry drew his hand back. "Hi…" she said in a low whisper sleep ready to take her once again. "Sorry Harry I'll have to talk to you later, right now I feel so week and tired from everything that has happened." She replied her voice showing all signs that it was true. Getting up she used her one good hand and foot to make her way to the girls doorm. Ami helped her into bed upon seeing the state she was in and Harry couldn't help but watch from his spot in the common room. He then thought it best to go to bed himself.

"Strike out Harry?" Ron asked when he saw the boy enter the room.

"Yeah why is it so hard to get a chance to talk to her?" He asked aloud.

"I don't know, but give it time she probably thinks that we will pitty her." Ron offered.

"But if that's the case, then why is it that that girl AMI can get so close to her and help her out." Harry said crashing out on his bed not bothering to change into some night clothing.

"I don't know, but I suggest give it time, besides my sister has taken quite a liking to you, maybe you should spend time with her. She still feels bad about what happened last year and thinks you hate her for it even though she didn't know she was the one doing anything at the time." Ron offered trying to get his friend to get off the subject of the strange new girl. True he may had felt the same kinds of feelings but something told him that pressuring her wasn't the best thing in the world to do. With those last thoughts he turned over and fell asleep.

The next morning Kayla slept on unaware that the world was up and alive. She was not a morning person and often over slept. She had already missed breakfast and half if not all of her first class by the time she awoke. In fact it took her a good ten minutes before she had woken up to realize she was late thus why she was trying with little to no luck to run around and make her way to her classes. By the time she crashed into the transfiguration classroom the second set of classes that day were taking their places. "You young lady have missed your first class and that will not be tolerated. 50 points from Gryffindor!" the lady from last night shouted before adding that the girl had better hurry to her next class or the teacher would do more then just take points away.

"What is my next class?" Kayla asked as she held up the slip of parchment with the list of classes on it.

"Potions, and let me see that." The transfiguration teacher said and Kayla complied. With a few choice words and a flick of the wand she transformed the paper from print to Braille then handed it along with a note to the girl.

"As she approached said classroom she could hear the student's in the class room whispering while they worked on the assignment given. "Oh boy is Professor Snape going to let her have it now." One said.

"No one misses one of his classes and gets off easy." Another chimed in, and as those words were spoken Kayla came in panting the note from her first professor slipping from her lap.
