The Meddling Hand Of Fate
Chapter 4
By: Siren
Authors Notes- As you can see, I have changed the title of my story. From now on, you will need to find it by this name. I hope you enjoy the chapter, and this is dedicated to all of those great people who reviewed. I also wanted to thank Midnight Lady for being my editor. She's great!
Someone else in their review (sorry, I can't remember your name) asked me if I had any other stories, and told me that if I did, I should put it somewhere. The answer is yes, I have A LOT of stories out, but the only ones that I am currently working on are this one and a Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon crossover called, "Inner Strength."
I have another contest! Ok...before you decide to hate it, hear me out. I decided that it was unfair for everyone else to have to wait another day for the next chapter, just because their review wasn't as long as someone else's. Therefore, the reward from now on will be different. I still want to give something to someone who takes an extra moment to write a longer review. The reward is called the 'oracle' it's the award of one question, one answer. You can ask me anything you want to about this story, and I will give the most straightforward answer possible. This person will not have to wait for the answer in the future, but they should remember that they don't want to ask a question that will ruin the story. Good luck, and enjoy!

Harry's POV
**
I looked out of the airplane window, at the ocean below us. The Weasleys decided that it would be better to do everything the way muggles would do it. Arthur (he told me to call him that) kept on talking about how great this mode of transportation was, for the entire ride up to the airport! It was pretty impressive for the first couple of minutes, but it was nowhere even near as exciting as riding on a broom. All you could see was sky! The poor muggles...
Ron elbowed me in the side, and said, "Harry! We're almost there! We should be there in about a half an hour! I'm sooo excited!" Ron had been sitting on the edge of his seat for the entire ride; was even more excited about this trip than I was. We were going to be staying in the same section of town that the Sailor Senshi had been sighted in most. Arthur was interested in who they were, since he worked with the ministry of magic on enchanted muggle objects. So far as he could tell though, there was no mention of them in all of the histories in witchcraft, and they used a different, unknown magic. They had been looking into it for a long time, but had never been able to find out who they really were. That's part of the reason we were going to Tokyo. We were supposed to see if we would be able to find out who they were, and where they disappeared to. Ron was sure that he would find them, and be a hero in the eyes of everyone. Personally, I thought that no one else had been able to find out what happened to them, and we weren't going to have any better luck. I tried not to let my pessimistic attitude ruin Ron's trip though...after all, how many times do you get to go to another country?

"Ok. Ron, you and Harry will be sharing room 610 for the next couple of weeks. It had 2 beds, so you should be ok. Ginny, you get room 614. It only has one bed, so you should be good too. Arthur and I will be in room 612. That means all of our rooms will be next to each other. Go take your bags, and get settled in. Maybe after we can go out to eat, or something," Molly told us, as we approached the hotel.
Apparently this trip was partly business, so it was being paid for by the ministry of magic. Arthur was supposed to try to solve the mystery of the Sailor Senshi while he was here. That meant that we were able to have certain luxuries that otherwise would be unavailable. It was really too bad that Fred and George were unable to come, because they wanted to work on the business. They would probably have a great time.
We all got settled in, and were told to wear nice clothes for the restaurant we were going to. It is supposed to be a really nice place, called the 'Midnight Orchid'.

Usagi's POV
Rei's Temple
**
Here they all were, waiting for me to tell them why I called the meeting. They had been here for the last five minutes, waiting for me to finally let out the news. I had spent the last few hours trying to decide how I was going to tell the others that because of my suppositive 'stupidity' (AN: It hurts me to make her think that, it really does...i know that she doesn't try, but it needs to be like this.) I would need to leave them all for the next entire school year! I imagined anger, disappointment, and so many other emotions to the news. All of them were bad, so I remained silent.
"SO WHAT IS IT ALREADY?" Rei shouted, not able to take it any longer. Everyone else nodded in agreement. They just weren't as loud as Rei, so didn't yell at me.
"Well,youguys...thereissomethingthatIhavn'ttoldyou.MomandDaddecidedthatifIdidn'tbringmygradesup,thatIwouldhavetogotoaprivateschoolinEngland.BecauseofallofthethingsthatIhavebeendoingasSailorMoon,Iwasunabletobringmygradesup.NowI'llbeleavingtoaprivateschoolofmyparentschoosing,thisfall." I said, all in one breath.
My friends just gave me blank looks. "Um, Usagi. Will you please say that again? I didn't get all of that." Amy said.
Mom and Dad decided that if I didn't bring my grades up, that I would have to go to a private school in England. Because of all of the things that I have been doing as Sailor Moon, I was unable to bring my grades up. Now I'll be attending a private school of my parents choosing, this fall."
Now I got the reactions I was expecting. Rei looked angry, Ami looked disappointed, and Minako and Makoto both looked very surprised.
"So, what do you guys have to say? This shouldn't cause any trouble with Senshi business, because there haven't been any problems for a month or so now. We're all finished, no more enemies."
Everyone nodded in response, still not sure what to say. They knew I was right. There was no one else to cause us problems; we defeated them all.
"I guess that just means that we need to make this summer the best ever!" Minako said, trying to sound cheerful.
"Ya Usa-chan, maybe we can even find you a new sempai before you go!" Makoto said.
Then Ami asked me a question I wasn't expecting, "Usagi, if you're having trouble in school, why would they send you to England? You'd need to learn a whole new language!"
I put my hand behind my head, and laughed nervously. "Well, you see...that's another thing that I haven't told you. I grew up in England, and know English at least as well as I know Japanese."
Minako looked more surprised, and then more excited than any of them. "I LOVE England! That's where I did most of my movies! What was it like growing up there for you? You NEVER talk about it!"
I glared at her. She didn't even know how horrible her innocent question made me feel. "I don't want to talk about it!" I snapped at her.
Everyone looked shocked at my reaction. No one had ever seen me so angry! I laughed nervously. "Sorry guys, I'm really emotional about England right now, and I don't want to talk about my childhood. So Minako, where were you expecting to find me a guy? I'm sure I've already seen all of the available ones."
She laughed, "Then I guess we'll just need to find you one that's not been around here for a while."
With the tension broken, we all started talking. With this our last summer together before I had to leave for a long time, everyone had something that they wanted to do.
I couldn't ever say how happy I was that none of them started yelling or scolding me. I wasn't sure if I could take it if my friends did that right now. But then again, that's why they're my best friends.

"Mom! I'm home!" I shouted as I walked through the door. "Sorry I'm late, we were busy talking, and I lost track of time," I quickly apologized as I started running upstairs.
"Stop right there, young lady!" I heard my mom say, trying to stop me from my swift retreat.
I halted in my tracks, and slowly turned around to face her. "Yes, Mom? Do you want something?" I asked in a nervous voice. She hadn't really been giving me much good news lately. 'What could she want now?'
"Go get dressed, Usagi. We're leaving in an hour to go to the Midnight Orchid." Now I was shocked. We had NEVER gone there. I've been living here for almost eight years, and we'd never gone there.
"Okay, Mom! I'll be down in an hour! Why are we going by the way? We've never gone before..."
"Sorry Usagi, I can't tell you. It's supposed to be a surprise. You'll find out at dinner..."
**********
I know; it's not really a cliffhanger. You will have Harry and Usagi in the same restaurant next chapter though, so that should be good.
Remember to review! I LOVE them.

Also, I was thinking about starting a mailing list for people who aren't writers. If you want to be on it, just leave your address, and say what stories you want to be notified of.
