The Meddling Hand Of Fate
Chapter 3
By: Siren
Authors Notes-It's here! Opens a bottle of Champaign. If I drank this stuff, this would be a perfect time to celebrate with a party! (too bad...) I hope you enjoy this story! Like I'll remind you in the end of the chapter I will be giving the next chapter out a day early to the person who gives me the longest review, and no, that DOES NOT mean copy/paste! Good luck! I want to thank Midnight Lady for being my editor, believe me; you DO NOT want to read these before she does her magic! She is very talented, and kind enough to help hopeless causes like me. You should read her Harry Potter crossover too; it's really good. Also, thanks as always to Faith-chan for being my pre-reader. She tells me if I should put it up or not.
IMPORTANT-I'm probably going to call this story 'The Meddling Hand Of Fate' so what do you all think of it? It's Midnight Lady's idea, and I think that it works.
Disclaimer- Neither Harry Potter or Sailor Moon belong to me. They belong to their respective owners, who spent the time, and had the creativity to invent them. Right now, they are reaping the fruits of their labors.

Harry's POV
**
Yesterday I had finished packing my bags, and today we were leaving Hogwarts for the final time until the next school year.
"Harry, are you O.K.? You spaced out there for a minute..." A feminine voice asked worriedly.
"Oh, yes Hermione, I'm fine." I smiled reassuringly. "I was just thinking that it was a shame that I have to leave this place."
"At least you don't have to go home, Harry. You will have to spend time with some muggles, but you won't have to live in that awful house with your family."
Ron came over and clapped me on my shoulder. "That's right. We're going to be in Japan for the entire summer. You shouldn't even have to see the Dursleys until maybe next summer.
"That's right. We're going to Tokyo, where we can relax for the entire summer...But I really hope we will be able to see the Sailor Senshi while we're there. That would be soooo cool!"
Hermione looked startled at this. "Haven't you guy's heard? There hasn't been a sighting of either a youma, or a Senshi for about a month now! They must have finished what they have started, or they left." She pointedly didn't say the fact that everyone was wondering; that they died.
"That doesn't matter. What I'm really worried about is that we don't know how to speak Japanese. I checked, and there are no spells for learning a new language. Your parents know how to speak Japanese, Ron, but they're the only ones..."
"I know Harry, that'll be hard. Maybe we'll get lucky, and find someone who can speak English. We might even meet some girls!" Ron said, obviously excited about the idea of seeing girls.
Slowly we all filed out of the school, and onto the train. Luckily we were able to get a train-car to ourselves, and could spend the entire time talking. Hermione was going with her parents to America, so she also had a lot to say.
"That's right. We're going to all of the big cities; you know New York City, San Francisco, Dallas, Vergennes, all of the great places!"
"At least everyone there (almost) will speak the same language," Ron muttered under his breath.
"Oh, but Ron! I envy you! You guys have a reason to learn another language! I hope to be one of the first people in the world to speak all of the languages possible, but you can't really learn it, unless you experience it. I will still have a lot to keep me busy though. I got all of the books we need for next year, and I plan on memorizing them by the time school starts on September 1st."
I would have looked at her like she was crazy, if it wasn't Hermione. That was just the way she was, and over time I had gotten used to her.
There was a knocking on the door, "Hello, does anyone in there want some food from the cart? We have all sorts of treats!"
Ron looked embarrassed for a second. "Um...I don't have any money with me right now..."
"Don't worry Ron," I said. "It's on me! Take whatever you want. It's the least I can do after you guys are taking me with you for your vacation! You can help yourself too, Hermione."
Mumbles of, "Thanks a lot Harry" and, "Candy is bad for your teeth, my parents have always told me that. They are dentists you know..." could be heard. I smiled to myself. Just what I had expected to hear. After you live with each other for four year, you get to know one another pretty well.
We loaded ourselves with every-flavor beans, and chocolate frogs, and every type of treat, and prepared to dig in. We spent, at least Ron and I did, the rest of the trip gorging ourselves, and talking about what we wanted to do over the summer. For once we were able to do it freely, because I wasn't going to spend the time with the Dursleys, and they didn't feel sorry for me. Before they wouldn't really talk about their summer, because they knew that I was going to be stuck in that hell hole, and didn't want me to feel worse about it.
"Five minutes before the end of the line," could be heard throughout the subway, as the conductor shouted over the speaker system.
We all grabbed our bags, and got ready to leave. Ron and I said goodbye to Hermione, and got ready to leave.
"It's the end of the line! Ev-ery-bo-dy off!" the conductor said loudly.
We all filed off the train, and slowly 2-3 at a time entered the station, so we wouldn't attract to much attention to ourselves.
"Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George! I'm over here!" I looked up, and saw the smiling face of Molly Weasley frantically waving us over to her.
I hurried over in her direction, a huge grin on my face. "Hi Mrs. Weasley! It's good to see you again," I exclaimed happily.
"Oh Harry! How many times do I need to tell you? Call me Molly, Mrs. Weasley makes me feel so old! If we're going to be spending the summer together, then it's no good being so formal!" she said good-naturedly.
"Hi, Mom!" five voices shouted, and I got out of the way so the others could see their mother. 'I wish I could have a family like that,' I thought sadly. I had something like that once. I had a sister or at least we pretended that we were brother and sister. We were both so alone in the world, but we took comfort in being with each other. That was before she left me alone...
"Harry! Harry! We need to go now. It's time to get ready to leave for Japan! Mom just needs us to go home to drop off Fred and George, and get a few things. Dad's going to meet us there. He just needs to finish up a few things at work. After that, we're off to Tokyo!"
I smiled at him. That's just what I need to get my mind off of Serena. Anything to get my mind off of her. Recently I've found myself to be thinking of her often, and I can't stop unless there is something else to distract me. Sometimes it's good to think of my little sis and all of the good times we've had together; but with the good memories, there is always a sense of loneliness. Sometimes I almost find myself wishing to forget her, and then I chastise myself mentally. It's not her fault she died in a car accident! She never meant to leave me alone! If she was alive, I know that she would want me to be happy, and that should be enough. To bad it never is...

I know, another really crappy chapter. Don't kill me though! Harry and Usagi should meet really soon, and the wait will be over. I hope you enjoyed it!
Please review my story! You can never know how much it can make a writer's day to know that what they are doing is worth while, and appreciated. I will also be giving the next chapter out a day early to the person who gives me the longest review, and no, that DOES NOT mean copy/paste! Good luck!
