Chapter 9

Hogsmeade Date

Slytherin House: Girls Dormitory

Hotaru wakes up to the early morning sunlight licking her face. After a minute of trying to wake up she finally gets out of bed and walks over to her trunk that Professor Dumbledore had allowed her to borrow until her departure from Hogwarts. She opens it to see what to wear for the day since it is going to be special. After sifting through it she comes up with black leather pants, black zip up boots, and a purple shirt that says "You Say Psycho Like It's a Bad Thing". As soon as she is finished dressing and brushing her hair she happily bounds down the stairs to the common room. As soon as she hits the last step of the stairwell she notices that someone else is sitting in one of the lazy chairs by the fire.

She walks up to the chair to see who it is and to her surprise it is none other than the Prince of Slytherin himself dressed in Khaki pants held up with a brown braided belt with a perfectly white dressy shirt and brown loafers.

"Good Morning Malfoy, you look nice," she says as she takes a seat in the other lazy chair across from him.

"Good Morning and thank you Tomoe, you look nice as well," he replies nearly absentmindedly.

"So, what's the special occasion?" Hotaru asks finally breaking the silence.

"There is no special occasion, I asked Raye out yesterday during detention and she accepted," he replies with a smile.

"I knew you liked her, it was just a matter of time before you decided to make the move," she replies unsurprised.

"Oh shut up Tomoe," he says as he gets up to leave.

"Where are you going?" she asks getting up to follow.

"If you must know, I am going down to the main hall to wait for Raye," he replies not turning to look at her. "You are welcome to join me if you like."

"Ok," she says following him out through the portrait.

Ravenclaw House: Common Room

"What is taking that girl so long?" Darien asks nobody in particular. He walks over to the stairs leading to the Girls Dormitory with his hands in his pockets and yells, "Serena, are you done yet?"

"Almost Darien, I'm trying to find that adorable furry shirt I bought the when we were in Diagon Alley," she replies.

"Argh," he says nearly throwing himself onto the couch. "I don't see why she didn't get her things together last night, it only took me five minutes to get ready," he says to himself while admiring his ensemble containing black jeans, a navy blue button up shirt, and black tennis shoes. (AN: Wowy Wow wow, I can just see him now. Begins licking lips, oh sorry readers, please continue. LOL) Not a moment later Serena comes out of her room and into the common room wearing blue jean shorts, a Pink furry top with the word Princess on it, and pink tennis shoes.

"I'm ready Darien, let's go," Serena says happily bouncing along ahead of him.

Gryffindor House: Boys Dormitory

"Why don't you just wear something simple instead of digging through your trunk and making a mess?" Ron asks Harry. Harry has been sifting through his trunk for the perfect outfit for almost twenty minutes already.

"Ok, fine," Harry huffs pulling out a simple ensemble of blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and some black and white tennis shoes. "How did you get done so fast?" he asks Ron, noticing that he is now changed from pajamas to a checkered button down, khaki pants, and black loafers.

"I'm just a fast dresser, that's all," Ron gloats.

As soon as they are both ready they decide to go holler up the stairs to the girls Dormitory to see if Raye and Hermione are ready. But to their surprise the two girls were already seated on the couch in the common room.

"Wow, Hermione you look stunning," Ron compliments, looking over her outfit of blue hip huggers, a plain yellow v-neck, and black ankle boots.

"Doesn't she though?" Oliver says as he walks up and snakes his arm around her waist.

"Why thank you Ron and Oliver, you two look quite nice yourselves," she replies abashed at their compliments. She then looks over at Oliver's exceptionally hot outfit of a white muscle t-shirt, baggy black jeans, and black combat books (AN: How HOT is that? LOL.).

"Ok, ok, we all look nice now lets go. I have a date with a really important person," Raye says as she hustles them out through the portrait doorway.

Hufflepuff House: Girls Dormitory

"Wow, I love your outfit Lita," Polly screeches when Lita comes out of the bathroom dressed in beige Capri pants, a forest green top that says '99.9% Angel', and white tennis shoes.

"Well, I wouldn't have been able to come up with this without you Polly," she replies. "What time is it?"

"It's almost eight, you'd better get down there and meet up with your love muffin," Polly giggles.

"He isn't my love muffin," Lita replies putting her hands on her hips annoyingly. "Aren't you coming?"

"No, I have lots of homework to do, you go have fun for me."

"Ok, I'll tell you how it goes later, ok?"

"Ok, have fun." Polly says.

"I shall," Lita replies with a smile as she closes the door behind her.

The Main Hall

"If she isn't down here by the time it's time to go I'm going to..." Draco begins but then stops himself when he sees Raye walking toward him in blue hip huggers, a red shirt that says "Bad Girl", and white tennis shoes. "Wow, you look great," he says when she reaches him and Hotaru.

"Thank you," she says giving him a peck on the cheek and adding, "You look great as well."

"What do YOU want Potter?" Draco sneers when he sees Harry approach their little group.

Harry ignores him and goes over to Hotaru and gives her a hug, "Hello Hotaru."

"Hello Harry," she replies. "I was wondering when you were going to get here."

"I'm sorry, I had a bit of clothing trouble," he says finally letting her go.

"If I might have everyone's attention please," Professor McGonagall says.

Everyone turns his or her head to face her.

"Now I'd like you all to go out and have a good time, but be responsible and make good choices. It is now 8:30 am, be back here by 4:30pm. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Professor," The students reply.

"Good, before you leave you are to see me and give me your name and house, then you may go," she instructs as everyone begins making a line in front of Professor McGonagall.

The Path to Hogsmeade

After five minutes of coaxing Raye finally gets Draco to agree to walk with her and her group instead of her walking with him and his group. Each couple walks hand in hand in silence until they arrive at the entrance of the town.

"So, what would we all like to do first?" Ron asks.

"How about we go to Honeyduke's," Harry suggests.

"What is Honeyduke's?" Hotaru asks.

"Oh, I forgot that you all haven't been to Hogsmeade before," Harry replies hitting his forehead.

"Ok, I'll make this easy for us all," Draco cuts in to remind them that he is still present. "The choices are Honeyduke's, which is a candy shop; Zonko's joke shop; The Three Broomsticks, which is like a bar except everyone is allowed; or the pet shop, which you will find on the way. What'll it be? I don't have all day."

"Ok, fine. How about Honeyduke's then we'll see where we end of from there?" Ron suggests.

"Sure," they all agree.

Draco begins leading the way to Honeyduke's. They are not more than five feet away from the shop when all of a sudden they hear a bunch of screams and people running out of the Three Broomsticks.

"Let's go see what's up," Harry says as he starts to run towards the screams and cries. Without protest the others follow. Harry stops at the entrance to the Three Broomsticks and let's out a loud gasp.

"What is it Harry? What's wrong?" Hotaru asks before looking inside. "Oh My God, please don't tell me it's the Deathbusters," she thinks when she sees the horrifying monster inside. She then turns to Darien and the other scouts and they automatically know what they have to do. "We'll be right back, we forgot our wands in our rooms," Hotaru explains for them all. "Come on guys," she says as she runs back up the path with the others at her heels. When Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Draco are out of sight and earshot they turn on their heels and hide behind an old nearby shed. "It's a good thing we brought our transformation wands," she thinks.

"Ok, are we all ready?" Serena asks.

They each nod their response.

"Alright, let's do it," Serena says before putting her right hand up in the air and shouting "Moon Crystal Power."

"Right," they all say as Raye twirls her star wand in the air and shouts "Mars Star Power."

After she is finished Lita also twirls her star wand in the air and shouts "Jupiter Star Power."

Next pulls a rose out of his pants pocket and spins around once and voila, he is transformed into the handsome Tuxedo Mask. (AN: Dramatic Sigh)

After the others are done with their transformations Hotaru pulls out a stick with the shape of Saturn on the top of it and shouts "Saturn Planet Power." (AN: I made up Sailor Saturn's transformation because they never really tell us what her transformation device looks like or what she says to transform).

"Let's go," Serena commands.

"Right," the others reply as they follow her back to the Three Broomsticks where Harry and the other three are casting spells at an ugly woman that looked like she could have been a table at one point in her life.

"Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. You three watch our backs while Tuxedo Mask and I go in through the back," Serena commands in a tone that says, "Please just do as I ask and don't argue."

They nod their responses before leaping away to keep hidden. As soon as they are out of sight Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask go in through the back door of the pub. They run right in and find the monster still fighting the five young wizards. When Sailor Moon notices Ron lying on the ground she gets really mad.

"Stop right there, you evil being," Serena begins. At these words everyone stops what they are doing and looks in Serena's direction.

"Who are you?" the monster sneers.

"I am Sailor Moon, the Champion of Justice. I right wrongs and triumph over evil. And in the name of the Moon I will punish you," she says.

"Well, well, well. Sailor Moon is it? You will pay for your interference Sailor Brat," the monster yells as she jabs a table leg fist at Sailor Moon. As she dodges each attack she begins to tire. When the monster finally quits jabbing at her and notices her tiring out she lets out a loud evil laugh. "I see you are not as strong as they say. I will dispose of you now so I will not have to work as hard to find the pure heart crystals."

"Not if we can help it," a voice shouts from the entrance of the back door. The monster turns to see who had dared to interrupt her and sees three figures coming at her. The figures jump up and spin around and kick her before she has a chance to say anything.

"Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Great timing you guys," Sailor Moon shouts.

"Sailor Moon, we'll check on Ron, you finish her off with your scepter," Mars says as she runs over to where Draco, Harry, Hermione, and Oliver are standing dumbfounded with Saturn and Jupiter at her heels. She then kneels down to see if Ron is still alive. "He is still breathing but just barely, he has a big gash in his chest," she says turning to Sailors Jupiter and Saturn. "Saturn, can you heal him?" she asks.

"Yes, although he will still be unconscious for about an hour after I have healed him," Saturn comments numbly.

"Ok, do it," she commands. When she goes back in to check on Sailor Moon she is surprised to see that the monster had already been moon dusted (AN: for those of you who don't know, moon dusted means destroyed in Sailor Moon terms).

"Great job Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask says coming out of the shadows after watching the attack.

When Hermione finally comes out of her dumbfounded state she sees Tuxedo Mask and nearly melts in her shoes and faints (AN: I would too. LOL). "Thump" goes her body on the hard wood floor. Everyone turns in the direction of the four young wizards to see what the noise was from and see Harry and Oliver picking up Hermione's fainted body. As soon as the scouts are sure the others aren't watching them they take off back to the abandoned shed they transformed behind not too long ago. When they get there they catch their breaths and de-transform before returning to their group.

As soon as they arrive back at the Three Broomsticks they notice Oliver carrying Hermione's fainted body and Harry and Draco are carrying Ron's body. They pretend not to know what happened.

"What happened you guys?" Raye asks running straight for Draco.

"You should have seen it," Harry bursts.

"It was great," Oliver adds.

"Some chics in short skirts, body suits, and tiaras came out of nowhere and kicked that monster's ass," Draco finishes happily.

"Oh really?" Hotaru asks looking from Raye to Draco knowing what was going to happen next.

"Yeah," Draco replies.

"Were they pretty "chics"," Raye asks glaring at Draco as if he'd just looked at another girl right in front of her.

"Yeah, they were very pretty," Draco says but then sees the look of death upon Raye's face and quickly adds, "but of course they weren't as pretty as you. Compared to you they look like dingbats."

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Alright, I was only checking. Don't worry Draco hunny, I trust you," Raye says with a smile as they quickly head back to the castle.
