Hello to all my fans (wow I have fans I think). Sorry it took so long for the update, but you know how things are with school starting and plus I moved and on top of that my computer was acting weird so I had to get it fixed oh and also I got a computer virus. AND I still don't have the internet hooked up at my apartment, but hopefully will soon. Anyway all better now. Thanx to all my wonderful reviewers you guys are so awesome and you will always hold a small place in my heart (wipes a tear away). Anyway…
Tenshi-Hotaru: Ya know I'm still not sure if I'm going to bring back the other Senshi, but I'm defiantly thinking about it.
Sailor Millenia: Thank you very much.
SerinityRules: So, it began…
Starlite: Don't worry it was never in my plan to for the Senshi and Endymion to betray her.
Stargirl5: Thank you very much and I know I'm sorry it was really late that night and that was more of something I would say not Serena.
Starlight: You know what I actually thought of doing that exact thing a little while ago, but a thought that it might be a bit much and kind of hard to explain. Although if you have any good ideas on how I could make it work I'd love to hear them because that would put kind of a twist on things.
Aquamoon: Oooo thanx for the idea I'll be sure to add Moody somewhere in the story.
x-silver-saffire-x: Well I can't tell you everything yet because it would ruin part of the story, but to answer one question no she can't transform right now.
Alright I'm sorry to everyone it annoyed I'll stop bolding the talk.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Harry Potter because if I did would I really let you read this for free ^_^
Alright with that said let the chapter begin.

Chapter 3
*~Brooms and Curses Fly~*
Serena awoke the next morning to an empty room because like always she had overslept. She quickly changed and ran to the Great Hall hoping that she hadn't already missed breakfast. She found Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting together at the table and she decided to try and be bold once again and sit with them. This time however, as she approached them, instead of looking surprised at her they were all rather glad to see her and made room. Serena gladly took the seat next to Ron and immediately began to pile food on to her plate, but she was more careful this time because she was sure she could see Ron looking at her through the corner of his eye.
Professor McGonagall came around and handed them their schedules. Ron scowled at his then leaned over the table to look at his friends.
"Well at least we all have Potions and Care of Magical Creatures together" he said examining their schedules "Harry you and I have Charms together, you and Hermione have Transfiguration and Astronomy at the same time, and me and Hermione have History of Magic together. Oh, but it looks like I've got Herbology and Muggle Studies on my own."
"Muggle Studies?" Both Harry and Hermione asked confused.
"Yea" Ron replied "Dad tried to talk me into taking N.E.W.T. classes that would help me get a job somewhere in the Ministry. I couldn't think of anything better to do so I followed his advice". Ron then looked over and peered at Serena's Schedule "Hey Harry, she's got the exact same classes as you except for Astronomy instead hey you've got Herbology with me". Serena then explained how she was also training to be an Auror.
"I wonder who our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is going to be this year?" Harry wondered out loud.
"I don't know I haven't seen any new teachers yet" Hermione answered.
"Who cares" said Ron "Just as long as it's not another Umbridge".
"What do you care" said Harry "You're not even taking it".
"Yeah didn't want too, I was no good at it anyways. Besides Hermione and I figured maybe you could teach us again this year".
"I don't know we'll have to see" replied Harry "Anyway Ron lets go outside and get a little Quidditch practice in".
"Oh can I come" Serena piped in "I just bought a broom and I've been dying to try it out".
Harry and Ron nodded then they all got up and left the Great Hall. Once all four of them were through the doors Harry, Ron, and Serena pulled out their wands and shouted at the same time "Accio Brooms!" They stood there for a moment then Harry's Firebolt, Ron's Clean Sweep, and Serena's Nimbus came whizzing through the air and stopped in front of their owners. Serena grabbed her broom then looked over to see that everyone was staring at her. She looked closer and saw it was not at her they were looking, but at her wand.
"Wow" Ron exclaimed "Serena your wand's silver where'd you get it?"
"At Olivanders (sp)" she replied.
"I thought Olivander only made his wands out of wood? What's yours made of?" Hermione asked.
"It's some kind of wood" Serena said "Although I'm not sure what kind. I don't even know what's inside it".
"You don't know?" Harry repeated.
Serena sighed and began telling about her first trip to Diagon Ally and the wand shop.
*~Flashback~*
Serena quietly walked into Olivander's and looked around at the hundreds of small black boxes stacked upon each other. A strange man approached her 'This must be Olivander' Serena thought.
"Going to Hogwarts are you?" He asked Serena "Well you'll need a wand and I've got the best so let's get to it". He immediately grabbed a box off a tall stack, opened it, and handed it to Serena "Pine, eleven inches with unicorn hair, very flexible" Serena took the wand in her hands and gave it a wave. She was immediately knocked off her feet and landed on her butt on the other side of the room. "Definitely not" Olivander said as he helped her up and handed her another wand.
It went on like that for what seemed like hours to Serena. There were opened boxes everywhere a few things had caught on fire from previous wands and they were running out of wands to try "Alright this is the last one. Oak nine inches with Phoenix feather, firm" Serena grabbed onto the wand hoping that this would be the one because there were no more to try. She waved the wand and it quickly shot out of her hand, bounced around the room for a while and landed on the floor. Serena was about to cry, no wand worked for her 'Maybe they made a mistake. Maybe I'm not magical'.
Olivander sat dumbfounded for a moment. This had never happened to him before. Then a thought struck him and his eyes lit up. He leaned over to Serena and cautiously said "There is actually one more we can try" and with that he swept to the back of the room, opened a bottom drawer and dug through it until he pulled out another long thin box, but this one was silver. He walked back to Serena, opened the box and pulled out the wand. Serena gazed at it with wide eyes. It looked to be about twelve and a half inches, pretty firm, it was silver and it was beautiful. Serena took it in her hands and gave it a wave. Silver and pink dust spurted out of the wand and showered down upon Serena. She found her wand.
Olivander gave her a wary smile "I've always wondered when I'd get rid of that wand, but what I've wondered more is to whom it would go". Serena gave him a confused look. "You see my dear I cannot tell you what it's made from or what's inside for I do not know because I did not make it. I've studied it and studied it for years, but I haven't been able to find out anything about it. About ten years ago this wand just appeared in my shop. Now I wasn't sure what to do because I never sell wands I don't make myself, but something about this wand intrigued me so I kept it knowing it had to serve some purpose. It was meant for you I guess so it's a good thing I did keep it. That'll be eight galleons."
*~End Flashback~*
"Weird" Ron said as Serena finished her story
"Yeah, but it hasn't done anything strange so I just think it's a regular wand" replied Serena "Anyway c'mon lets get outside".
Harry, Ron, and Serena headed out to the Quidditch field while Hermione went to the library. Serena was a little nervous as she mounted her broom because the last time she had ridden a broom was during her first year flying class. "All right there Serena?" Harry and Ron said together from above her.
"Umm yeah" she said "I just haven't done this in a very long".
"It's easy" Harry yelled back to her "Just push off the ground with your feet".
"Easy for you to say" Serena muttered to herself. She grabbed onto her broom with all her might, closed her eyes and pushed off the ground. She opened her eyes when she noticed her feet weren't touching the ground anymore.
"Now" Harry yelled to her "Just lean which ever way you want your broom to go".
"OK" Serena yelled back. She slowly leaned forward and her broom started to move. Serena wasn't quite ready for this because the sudden movement shocked her and she slipped right off her broom. Luckily she was only three feet from the ground. Harry and Ron started laughing hysterically they too nearly fell off their brooms. "SHUT IT!" Serena yelled at them as she mounted her broom once more. 'C'mon Serena' she thought to herself 'You've flown hundreds of times before and wings are much harder to use than this stupid broom'. She took a deep breath, kicked off and was in the air again.
A couple of falls, bumps, bruises, laughs, a lot of help, and a few hours later, Serena finally got the hang of it and was now in a heated Quidditch match with the two boys. Ron played keeper while Harry and Serena played against each other as chasers trying to see who could make it past Ron the most. Serena was beating Harry by ten points and once again had the Quaffle. She ducked underneath Harry, neared the goal, threw the ball, and scored. Ron had missed her shot by a long ways and Serena was quite impressed with herself because Ron had missed most of her shots, but had stopped most of Harry's and it was her first time.
Harry rolled his eyes as Serena once again did her victory dance which consisted of her diving straight down, coming back up, back flipping with her broom, a couple of barrel rolls, then standing on her broom while it did a lap around the goal posts cheering to herself the whole time. Ron laughed at her again, but Harry thought it was getting annoying since she had done it so many times. Although Harry was rather sore that he was being beaten by a girl who a few hours ago didn't even know how to rid a broom, he had to admit she was a fairly good chaser.
Ron was acting strangely. Harry noticed that he had missed many of Serena's shots, that even Harry could have caught, by a mile and it didn't seem to phase him in fact he always laughed at her, but when he missed one of Harry's shots, which in this game he had rarely done, he became very angry and just worked harder to block the next one. Serena hadn't noticed, but Harry had and it was making him very frustrated.
Serena scored again and Harry had just about had enough when he heard from down below familiar voices chanting the chorus of Weasley is Our King. Harry looked down and sure enough there was Malfoy with his two goons and Pansy Parkinson following close behind. "Ah Damn!" Harry heard Ron mutter while Serena, still doing her victory lap, hadn't noticed.
"Well Potter you should let the meatball head take your place on your Quidditch team so maybe you can have someone who can actually use a broom" Malfoy then added, smirking up at Serena who had just noticed what was going on, "Somewhat". Serena finally realized she was still standing on her broom with her arms in the air so she quickly sat back down on the broom and was about to open her mouth to reply back when Harry beat her to it.
"Hey Malfoy why don't you fly up here and join us in a game? Oh right, your fat arse probably can't take riding a broom yet can it? Maybe next time" Harry added with a smug grin while Ron was laughing behind him. Serena smiled to herself, but showed nothing. Malfoy's smirk quickly turned into an icy glare as his eyes shifted from Serena to Harry.
"You're going to pay for that one Potter. You can't cure this with a spell."
Harry was taken aback. Malfoy didn't know that it was Serena who had hexed him 'He thinks it was my spell' Harry thought. Harry's grin widened into a malicious smile as he looked down on Malfoy "I know".
Malfoy and his posse slowly reached into their robes and pulled out their wands while Harry and Ron did the same. Serena sat back in silence, she felt terrible since it was her hex that started this fight. Curses started to fly between the two groups. Harry and Ron had the advantage since they were still on their brooms in the air. Serena was watching what was going on, not knowing what to do, when one of Goyle's badly aimed spells hit the back of her broom. Serena's broom went haywire and began to buck her around like an angry bull while she held on with all her might. Finally the broom became too much for Serena to hold on to and she lost her grip and began to fall.
As she fell she tried to brace herself for impact, but was shocked when it was not the ground she hit, but rather fell into someone's arms. Serena opened her eyes to see Malfoy's startled face looking down at her. Everyone else had stopped dueling for the moment and was staring at them. "Whoops" Serena giggled with embarrassment still in Malfoy's arms.
Malfoy neither moved nor said a word, but instead took in the sight of the blonde that had just fallen into his arms. During the fall her robes had become tangled and were now hiked up high enough to show off her shapely legs. Serena's eyes widened as Malfoy's hand, that had caught her legs when she fell, tightened its grip and slowly moved its way toward her upper thigh. Harry and Ron both saw this and looked about ready to kill.
"Put her down Malfoy" Harry said in a dark threatening tone with his wand pointed straight at him.
"Now!" added Ron in the same voice his wand pointed the same direction.
"Well how do you like that" replied Malfoy "I save her from breaking her neck and instead of being thanked I'm threatened. Some friends you've got there". Malfoy stood her back on her feet (Serena jumped as his hand slyly slid across her backside) and remarked "Remember what I told you on the train you should really consider better friends".
"I'll keep that in mind" Serena said as she quickly walked away from him. Pansy Parkinson was fuming now and quickly grabbed Malfoy by the arm to point out that Hagrid was near by and that they better leave.
The four started heading back to the castle when Malfoy stopped and turned around and shouted "This isn't over Potter! And you" he said giving Serena one last look "Ditch Potter and the Weasel then ditch the meatballs". He turned and began walking back toward the castle.
That was the last straw for Serena, she hated that name "They're Odangos" she muttered to herself and took out her wand. Harry and Ron saw a glint of silver and looked down to see Serena mutter something with her wand pointed at Malfoy. They looked at where her wand was pointed and saw through Malfoy's robes a little lump form at the bottom of his back. Malfoy didn't notice.
"What was that?" Ron asked as she mounted her broom and joined them in the air again.
"Just a spell I know; thought it would match his personality. The Pig" she commented very put out.
"Oh by the way" Serena said as she glided over close to Harry. Harry's eyes widened and he gulped hard as she smiled at him and softly put her hand on his shoulder. She then clenched her fist and punched him hard in the arm.
"What was that for?" Harry asked trying not to show signs of pain even though his arm throbbed.
"That was my hex you took credit for"
"Well Malfoy already thought that it was mine and I didn't want to drag you into our fight".
"Besides" Ron added "You probably don't want to get on Malfoy's bad side yet"
"What was going on with Malfoy anyway? I've never seen him act like that" Harry said.
"Like what?" Ron chimed in "Like the asshole he always is".
"Well besides that" Harry replied "I mean him and Serena. He was actually hospitable to a Gryffindor".
"HOSPITABLE!" Serena rang in loudly "He grabbed my ass down there".
"But still he didn't curse you like he would any other Gryffindor that came that close to him" then Ron added "I think he fancies you".
Serena shivered at the thought, "Just wait until he finds out I'm muggle born" she laughed.
A smile formed across Harry's face "IF he finds out". Serena smirked and Ron chuckled along side Harry.
"Fine" Serena sighed "But when he starts complaining about that curly pink tail I just gave him he's all yours". Serena then turned and landed and began walking back towards the castle. Harry rubbed his arm and could feel a large knot forming where she had hit him. Harry turned and saw that Ron was still staring at Serena wide eyed with his mouth gaped open a little. Ron finally took notice that Harry was looking at him and started to laugh.
"Bloody brilliant that girl is. How is it we've gone six years and never noticed her before?"
Harry chuckled at Ron then muttered to himself "Ya know I've been thinking the exact same thing".
The rest of the day had gone by fairly uneventful and now Harry and Ron were walking through the corridors on their way to the Great Hall. Harry turned to Ron and finally asked the question that had been on his mind all day.
"What was going on with you outside earlier today?"
"What are you talking about?" Ron replied.
"When we were playing Quidditch. You don't fool me Ron I know you're a better keeper than that. Why did you let Serena score so many times?"
"Oh that" Ron said with a nervous laugh "I don't know why. I guess I just felt guilty for stopping her shots since it was her first time playing. Why? Are you mad that she beat you?"
"No, it just got a little annoying after a while; you know that whole victory dance thing she does."
"I don't know" Ron shrugged "I thought it was kind of funny." With that Ron quickened his pace and entered the Great Hall in front of Harry. Harry gave his friend in front of him a curious stare then followed him through the doors. Hermione and Serena were all ready at the table laughing at something.
"What's so funny?" Ron asked as sat down next to Serena.
"Oh I was just telling Hermione about our little incident that happened earlier today."
"Yes and I was telling Serena that she shouldn't make it a habit of cursing Malfoy all the time especially if Harry's taking the blame."
"I know I know, I was just having a bit of fun. Oh hey, look, Hermione helped me figure out five more words on my crossword."
"When you gonna give up on that thing Serena?" Ron said slightly amused.
"Never!" Serena said loud and defiantly "Mark my words I will finish it."
Their conversation went on like that and then trailed off into talking about their classes until the rest of the students filed in. Before the food appeared Dumbledore stood up to make another speech and the Great Hall went silent.
"Well, as most of you have already noticed, that we once again have an empty seat up here among the professors. I'm sure most of you have been wondering who your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is. Well she has just arrived so I'll let her introduce herself." At that moment a woman walked through the doors and up to the front. She was fairly tall with long golden hair tied into a loose low ponytail and had sky blue eyes. She was beautiful, and most the boys became excited about their DADA classes this year.
She cleared her throat and began to speak, "Umm hello to you all, my name is Professor Sight and I will be teaching your DADA class this year. I look forward to getting to know all of you." She flashed a big toothy smile that made all the boys blush a little and made the girls roll their eyes.
'Oh great' Serena thought to herself as dinner started 'I think I'd rather have Umbridge back'. She could tell just by the sound of her voice that she was not going to like this Professor Sight much. She then turned to see her two new friends still staring at the new professor. Serena and Hermione exchanged looks and began laughing at the two boys next to them.
'Ron and Harry on the other hand…'

Well that's all for chapter three. Hope you all liked it. Once again I'm sorry it took so long to get out and I hope it will never take me that long again. Thanx for all the reviews I love all your ideas and they've helped me write a lot of this story so I need more and more to make my story better. I'm pretty sure I know how I'm going to make this story go. How you ask? I'll never tell. It'll be a surprise besides its more fun that way, but I'm always up for suggestions or improvements.
Sorry to all the Malfoy fans out there. I love him to, but I love him to be bad. I know I hate the name meatball head for Serena too, but I couldn't think of a better name and it would be kind of weird for people in England to call her Odango Atama.
Alright so I can't seem to find my fifth Harry Potter book so here's my question to anyone who knows it. Can you tell me what Umbridge's job at the Ministry was? Ya know before she was the High Inquisitor. If anybody knows I would greatly appreciate the answer.
Well that's enough so all I have to say is…
REVIEW!
