MYSTERIOUS I know that the authors of both Sailor Moon and Harry Potter worked extremely hard on their creations. If you hate people using those idea's in stories then why are you on this site? There is a reason this site's address is called ... You know, FANS write their own FICTIONS for a certain series, movie or book that they like! So next time, think before you flame. Oh and READ MY DISCLAIMER! Honestly that was the dumbest flame I've EVER gotten.

Ok now that I've had my little rant, on with the fic.

Chapter 5 - Classes Start And Old Friends Return

In front of the Transfiguration Classroom.

Mina and Rei were laughing at Hermione and Ron as they got into yet another argument...

"Ron why don't you give him a chance instead of just judging him! It's been two years and you still don't like the fact that I'm going out with Krum!"

"Because! I'm worried about YOU! He's a good for nothing, self catered prat! When was the last time you saw him face to face?"

"Last MONTH!"

"MONTH! How do you know he's faithful! Do you understand how many women throw themselves at him? There is no way on earth-"

"Ron calm down! BOTH OF YOU!" Harry ground out in irritation.

"Come on... are you two always fighting like this?" laughed Mina

"As much as it is amusing, you don't want to damage your friendship by saying something in the heat of the moment. Believe me, I speak from experience."

"Hiya!"

"Hey Hota! Where were you?" grinned Mina shaking her eyebrows in suggestion.

"Mina get your mind out of the gutter!" growled Hotaru dangerously. Harry, Ron, and Hermione began laughing as they witnessed the argument between these two, even if they were only joking around.

"But I'm just stating what it looks like from our point of view." she smiled innocently

"Then you must be delusional." she shrugged nonchalantly, entering the classroom.

"Haha! She got you there, V!" laughed Rei as she followed Hotaru's example, going into the classroom with Hermione.

Mina just laughed and followed suit, with Harry and Ron.

Professor McGonagall had just finished explaining the proper method, of transforming a rock into a dog, and had set everyone to attempt it...

"Argh! It's not working!" growled Ron as the rock only grew a furry tail and ears.

Mina laughed light-heartedly at his silly facial expression, "Ron I think you're losing it." Her grin grew, as she pulled out a mini mirror and showing him his face.

He laughed outright at himself, "Your right!" he kept laughing and slowly quieted down, "Give it a try! You three still haven't even tried to transfigure the damn rocks.

There was a loud pop and Hermionie's rock was now soft, covered in fur, had a tail, ears and a long nose. "Well... I'm getting there." she grinned sheepishly

"That's it. If Hermione can't do it, then we have absolutely no hope." laughed Harry, as everyone else around them cracked up too. Soon after they quieted down again, there were three simultaneous pops, and instead of three rocks, there were three lively puppy dogs jumping around and licking everything in site. The whole room was quiet except for Mina, Rei, and Hotaru, who began to giggle at the crazy puppies' antics.

"They're so cute!" laughed Hotaru picking up a purplish black one and hugging it as it licked her face crazily.

"Tell me about it! Wonder if we can keep 'em this way!" smiled Mina, picking up the orangey brown one, and hugging it to.

"True. They are adorable but I don't think Luna and Artemis would appreciate it very much if we brought back three puppies who would most likely chase them around the whole castle, thinking 'This is quite fun!'" the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws in the room laughed at her statement.

McGonagall came over with a rare smile on her face, "Well done. I'm impressed. Not many have ever been able to produce a completely perfect puppy, personality and all, on their first try. 50 points for Gryffindor." she paused as she heard loud cheers, "each." she added as an almost after thought. Loud cheers erupted from all Gryffindors present.

"Thank you professor." smiled Hotaru, still hugging the now quiet and purring pup, "But I don't think I'll have the heart to turn him back into a rock." she laughed sheepishly as giggles from the girls in the room were heard. The guys were just shaking their heads in amusement.

"Way to go guys!" grinned Ron.

"Yeah that was awesome!" laughed Harry as he began to pack up his stuff like everyone else.

"Thanks!" Mina, Rei and Hotaru chimed simultaneously.

Entrance hall.

Everyone was chatting happily as the came down the stairs, into the entrance hall, when they saw Professor Dumbledore walking in with a little girl, her pink hair tied up in two ondangos. Mina, Rei and Hotaru froze instantly. "Are you ok guys?" asked Hermione seeing them pale as though they had seen a ghost. She noticed the little girl that all three were staring at, and she was awfully pretty, yet something was strange about her. Pink hair with red eyes. Definitely not normal but nothing to go into a state of shock about.

"R-R-R-Rini!" exclaimed Hotaru after much stuttering. Then another person walked through the oak doors and Hotaru nearly fainted, "DARIEN!"

"Hi guys! What's wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost." smiled the little girl.

"RINI!" both Mina and Rei bolted to the little girl and hugged her to a point close to death,

"G-ge-get off- m-me! I c-can't breathe!" she choked out, gasping for air. Hotaru began to giggle as she walked over and gave Darien a hug.

"What's the hold... up...?" Draco stared at Hotaru as she walked over and hugged Darien then let go and hugged a little girl with pink hair as Dumbledore looked on in interest.

"Hey Rei. Mina. Even you miss death." laughed the red-eyed girl

"How come you're calling me death? They were the ones who nearly killed you just then." laughed Hotaru hugging the little girl tightly.

"But you are death... Well, his sister any ways," she whispered into her best friend's ear.

" I feel sorry for you Rini! I'm bigger so they can't suffocate me in a hug." laughed the guy that was currently being squeezed by Mina and Rei.

"Yeah I know." she grumbled, but stopped, and laughed at his predicament. He was currently being squeezed so tight; his face was turning the same shade of blue as his midnight eyes

"Guys, sorry to break up the reunion, but we need to get to care of magical creatures class, or we're going to be late." said Hermione softly not wanting to be yelled at.

"You're right! Guys we have to go! Sorry! Are you going to be staying for lunch?"

"Yes they will be Ms Hino." smiled Dumbledore

"YAY!" laughed Rini hugging Hotaru tightly.

"No! Rini! You're turning into Sere-hime!" choked Hota

"I wish. But I'll never be like mummy." sighed Rini letting her best friend go.

"Isn't that a good thing? Unless she is no longer a ditz."

"Hey cut Usako some slack." protested Darien in a cute way.

"Yeah Rei. Don't be so cruel."

"Sorry." sighed Rei

Rini just laughed, "You know good and well, mummy actually grew up."

Hotaru giggled, "It is just taking her a little longer than us."

"ANYWAY... hows about we get down to Hagrid's Hut for C.O.M.C cause I sure as hell don't want to be late." laughed Mina,

"Yeah. See you two at lunch!" smiled Rei and with a final hug the girls jogged out of the castle.

"And they say Usako was always late! I wish she was here to see this." laughed Darien.

"Huh? How come mummy isn't with them Darien?"

"I'll tell you later sweetie." he gave her a soft smile before turning back to Dumbledore, "Now where were we before all the squealing interrupted us?"

"On our way to my office." he turned to the other student's, that were still surrounding the entrance, "And you should be in class by now." he motioned for the door, and stood back as the student's rushed to their class complaining to themselves in unintelligible mutterings.

"I hope Pegasus will be ok... I'm not sure if we should have left him with Hagrid. Maybe we should have told him to turn into Helios and come in with us." whispered Rini to her father looking back out the window worriedly.

"Don't worry. He wanted to see the others again as well. We couldn't deny him that." smiled Darien, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Dumbledore just gave them a curious look but said nothing on the matter.

At Hagrid's hut.

When the rest of the class arrived they were greeted with a strange yet beautiful site. Mina, Rei and Hotaru were standing around a majestic animal. It looked just like a unicorn except it's horn was golden and it had wings.

Hello girls. Long time no see.

Gods! Helios! No wait... it's Pegasus in that form, smiled Hotaru as she hugged the flying Unicorn around the neck gently.

#Hello! We all missed ya, you know? # Smiled Mina running her hand along his back as Hagrid stood back, smiling.

Yeah how come you don't visit that often+

#Have you been... ehem... busy with our future princess? #

>Mental blush What! No! Please. I love Rini but she is much too young for that! Well at least in the form she's in now!>

But you want that don't ya+ Rei grinned as she felt him mentally blushing some more

>I-> but the link was interrupted as they heard Hagrid's voice greet the other students.

"OK! I have a treat for ya' all! Some visi'ors ask' me t' take care of this big fella over here. Now it's practically impossible t' find a flyin' unicorn nowa days but you 'r' gonna have a rare opportuni'y to work with one fer ya firs' lesson." he got mixed reactions. Some students were surprised. Others were squealing with anticipation. Some had no reaction (A/N: Such as the ever so stupid, Crabbe and Goyle Sorry fans of these two. I personally don't like them at all)

"Wow Hagrid this is so cool!" exclaimed Ron looking at the magnificent beast.

"I thought they were extinct!" Hermione smiled

"Yea' well obviously they're no'!" Grinned Hagrid, "Ok everyone yeah can all move in closer... just don' intimidate 'im." so the class slowly moved nearer to the animal. Rei and Mina giggled at the strangeness of this silly thing, but then they remembered that they thought this was truly just an animal. Hotaru giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he nudged Hermione in the shoulder.

Getting braver, the class came in closer and began to pet him and after around 10 minuets, Hagrid told them it was enough. "Ok now I'm gonna teach ya how t' groom 'im." he picked up a brush and began showing them how to brush his fur and the showed them how to fix the feathers on the wings. Then he began to let everyone have a try and soon enough... Pegasus's fur and wings were spotless and shiny. He trotted over and nudged Hagrid with his nose and Hotaru noticed it was his way of saying thank you in that form.

"Now let's see... I think he may let someone ride him..." he turned and saw him nod his head.

"Really! Wow!" Pansy smiled softly, "ya know. I think the oaf is finally becoming a decent teacher." she grinned latching herself onto Draco's arm. He just groaned inwardly as he rolled his eyes.

"Hagrid can I go get some water for him?" asked Hotaru happily. Hagrid nodded and motioned for the water barrel on the side of his house. She picked up a bucket and jogged over to he barrel beginning to fill the bucket up quickly.

Rei, was leaning against the fence post talking to Harry, while watching Mina, and Ron groom Pegasus's mane... and that's when they felt it... The Nega energy was so strong it nearly shook them. Seconds later, out jumped a Youma from the forbidden forest. Screams were heard as everyone began to rush away from it... everyone except Hotaru, as she ran around the hidden side of the hut.

"Eternal Saturn POWER!" and she began to transform. The second the transformation was complete; she concentrated on her wings as she bolted into the forest. Skilfully swing up into the branches Saturn jumped up over the canopy as her wings took her up soaring into the sky. She flew down and steadied herself between the Youma and the students on the ground, "Hey! UGLY! Over here!" she landed softly on her feet and concentrated on her wings, making them vanish, "How bout you pick on someone who can fight back!"

"Oh no! Not You AGAIN!" groaned the Youma angrily, "I thought he said he took out all of you!"

"Sorry but Voldemort has gotta do better than that to get rid of me! I am Sailor Saturn! Senshi of Death, Destruction and Rebirth! And NOBODY crosses me without a punishment! On behalf of all that is good, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil... and that means YOU." she growled the last bit as she concentrated all her energy into her hands, pulling forth the silence glaive out of thin air...

"Right kid... Whatever." laughed the Youma as he shot out a dark energy beam. She leapt back up into the air doing a flip as her wings appeared allowing her to above the ground. The Youma tried to shoot another beam at her but this time she was waiting for it.

"SILENCE WALL!" a blackish purple energy wall blocking out all noise appeared around her protecting her from the beam. "I've had enough of this." she sighed angrily as she lifted her Glaive so the sharp tip was pointed at the Youma, "SILENCE GLAIVE SURPRISE!" at the command, a huge beam of bright light sliced the Youma. Soon it fell to the floor panting for breath, bloodied and almost dead. She stopped the attack, and landed about ten feet away from it. "Like I said before... no body crosses me, and lives to tell the tale." She walked up to it and knelt beside it placing a hand over its heart. Her hand glowing purple as she lifted it off but as it moved back, it took out a black heart crystal. The monster fell unconscious as she turned around and walked away from it, crystal in hand. Only now, did she hear the cheering from her classmates. She gave them her trademark smile and dropped the crystal on the grass. The she lifted her Glaive and crushed the crystal with the pole.

Seconds later, the Youma burst into dust and she grinned as the shattered crystal vanished into thin air Ok now how the hell did I do that! her mind screamed at her, How did I know to do that!

With a little help she heard Pegasus's voice in the back of her mind, she turned and shot him a confused look

Huh? I don't get it...

I shall explain later... for now, I think you should make your dramatic exit. Before anyone gets a close enough look at you.

Oh yeah! Woops.

She flew up into the hair, still hearing the shouts and cheers from the other students. She smiled as she made the glaive vanish and waved once before flying back over the forest and swooping down into the first clearing she saw. Making her wings vanish, she then bolted back through the forest. When she could see Hagrid's hut, she de-transformed and jogged back without being noticed attempting to calm her aching chest from it's rapid heart beat. She sat down to catch her breath, now that she was dizzy and tired...

"Hotaru!" came Mina's voice as she jogged over to the cabin. She turned the corner and gasped, "Oh my god! Hota! Are you ok!" she screamed seeing her pale friend, propped up against the wall. She bolted over and kneeled beside her.

"Yeah just a little weak..." she gasped, her voice hoarse.

"My god Hota we need to get you inside-"

"What's going on- Oh my god, Hota!" she screamed her name, catching Draco's attention. He walked over and was very surprised to see Hotaru sitting, back against the side of the hut, face as pale as a ghost.

"Hotaru! What happened to her!" he gasped, sprinting the short distance and kneeling down beside her. Putting an arm around her shoulders, "Hota are you ok?" his voice full of worry.

"Yeah." her voice was hoarse again, as she fought to keep consciousness.

"Can you guys get her some water!" he quickly asked looking up at Mina.

"Sure." she bolted over to the bucket and scooped out a ladle full. "Here." she handed Draco the ladle and he gently lifted it to her dry lips and she sipped it slowly.

"Better?" he asked softly as she smiled and nodded. She began to attempt to stand and her legs were too wobbly causing her to fall. Expecting impact, she closed her eye only to feel the familiar warm and protective arms wrap around her, "Careful." he smiled gently, "Don't want to hurt yourself now do you?"

Hotaru shook her head slowly leaning into his embrace making Mina and Rei smile broadly See! Told ya they were so damn cute together! Mina laughed mentally

Mhm you're right! They are so adorable! The perfect couple!

YEP!

When the dizziness finally subsided, Hotaru attempted to stand again. She smiled when she managed it but Draco kept a hold of her as they walked. Mina rushed to Hagrid to ask if Hotaru could rest inside his hut while Rei helped her friend from the other side.

"Hagrid! HAGRID! Can Hota please rest in your hut."

"What's wrong? What happened t' her!" he asked hurriedly.

"Ahh...um...well..." -Mina-

"I think that Youma got to her..." it was half true on Rei's behalf. The girl had lost her energy fighting that thing...

"Oh god. Ok Bring 'er in!" he exclaimed rushing to open the door. Draco nodded to Rei, who let go so they could fit through the door.

As he and Hotaru disappeared through the large doorframe, followed by Hagrid and Rei, Mina noticed Ron, Harry, and Hermione walking back slowly jaws dropped, "Am I hallucinating, or was Draco actually helping someone! And a Gryffindor no less!" Hermione stated eyes bugged out

"My eyes are definitely playing tricks on me!" exclaimed Ron

"Yeah..." Harry paused as he noticed Mina looking at them and shaking her head in silent laughter.

"You guys can be hilarious without even meaning to be. Draco is a normal, NICE human being to us, though he may seem cruel to you, but he's never said or done anything to me, Rei or especially Hota, to suggest otherwise." Mina giggled lightly before turning and making her way into the hut/cabin/house.

"Will wonders never cease..." mumbled Ron, earning a smirk from Harry

"Am I sensing jealousy?" he grinned elbowing Ron in the gut.

"WH-WHAT! NO!" Ron practically screamed a little to quickly, making Hermione giggle louder and Harry's smirk, broaden.

"Whatever Ron. Come-on, class is over and we have extended lunch cause we got no lesson afterwards."

Hagrid's Cabin, 1/2 an hour later.

Hotaru had fallen asleep, with her head rested in Mina's lap. Draco was hovering over her (A/N: Not literally) worry etched into his features. Hagrid had gone up to the school to get them some lunch, and Rei stood to the side, appearing deep in thought. After a while you could see a conclusion come to her mind as she smiled softly and walked over to Draco, resting a hand on his shoulder.

He looked up, a bit surprised at the gesture of reassurance. "Don't worry Draco... She's fine. Just needs rest for now. This is not the first time something like this has happened... Japan was full to bursting point with Youma's. It's just drained her of her energy... that's all." she had come too close to saying 'drained her of her energy when she fought it'. mental sigh

He nodded with a ghost of a smile appearing on his features, "Ok... but I'm still worried."

"Worried? For lil old me? I'm touched." and the voice let out a small, soft giggle. All eyes snapped to Hotaru as she slowly sat up, a soft smile on her lips.

"Hota-chan, are you ok now?" smiled Mina

"Yeah... I'll be fine... Not the first time but I have GOT to figure out a way to make it the last." she sighed before she was pulled into a hug.

"Don't you ever dare scare me like that again, understood." he growled softly into her ear.

Ok. She smiled at his shocked expression, "What? It's called telepathy... We use it all the time... that's why sometimes we look like we're going to laugh though we haven't said anything to each other." Mina and Rei glared at her.

"Hey you weren't supposed to show anyone that." whined Mina.

"Hota... you do know that we'll have to do a mind meld now..." Rei sighed

"No. I trust Draco... he won't tell... will you?" she looked him in the eyes, as he shook his head.

"I wont tell a soul about your ability to use telepathy, but you HAVE to teach me how... PLEASE?" he begged putting on a puppy dog face. Hotaru, Mina and Rei giggled at his tactics, but nodded none-the-less.

In The Great Hall.

"Wonder where Malfoy is... Better not be with the girls..." began Ron

"Oh shut up Ron." sighed Hermione, "Any way... you know that we have astronomy tonight? I heard that for some reason... three of the stars in the sky have been shining different colours than the normal white... Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. Red, Purple and Orange!"

"Hermione do you always think about studies?" asked Ginny

"Of course! Studies will get you somewhere in life! Other things wont."

Hagrid walked into the great hall and said a few things to Dumbledore, and the two people they had seen earlier. All three got up and hurried out of the hall. The girl was running for all she was worth and she made it down the hall in three seconds flat amazing some people. (Senshi speed is very useful. )

As Draco was helping Hotaru across the field, Rei and Mina were behind them admiring the future couple, if they had anything to do with it. Then they saw Rini bolt out and run into Hotaru hugging her tightly, Did the Youma hurt you? Are you ok?

I'm Fine Rini. It's just an energy drain... We only said otherwise to keep IT a secret.

?Oh ok "I thought you were hurt bad."

"Nah I'm fine see."

"Good. You had me and Darien worried there for a sec." she grinned as she saw a flash of jealousy in the guy next to her best friend, "Oh I'm being rude, I'm Rini. The guy I came with is my Dad Darien." she smiled, holding out her hand.

"Draco Malfoy." he gave the tiniest of smiles, while shaking it.

"So Hota... is this your boyfriend?" she grinned at the horrified look on both their faces though could also see them go crimson.

"What? NO! NOT YOU TOO!" Groaned Hotaru

"What?" she asked innocently, "It just seems like it cause you hardly ever get along with guys... other than Darien and your dad. Oops." she gasped as she saw her best friend's eyes cloud over... "I'm sorry Hota... It just slipped..." tears rolled down Hotaru's cheeks as she turned and bolted in the other direction, dodging both Mina and Rei who tried to stop her.

"What happened!" exclaimed Rei angrily.

"I just asked if he was her boyfriend and they went bright red and she asked why I was saying that, I told her cause she didn't get along with any guys other than Darien and her dad. I know it was a mistake. But it slipped." Frowned Rini.

"I'm going after her." sighed Draco, bolting in the same direction, Hotaru did.

"Where is he going and where is Hotaru?" asked Darien running up to them,

So they began to explain what happened again.

With Hotaru.

She knew she shouldn't have ran when they had mentioned her father but it hurt to think about him (A/N: Ok I'm not too sure who killed him, but I'm gonna make it that Hota and Sere did it. It's probably not right but HEY! It's my fic! )

Right now she was sitting in the same spot she was with Draco, earlier that morning. Sobbing uncontrollably, her arms were wrapped around her as though someone had violated her. But in truth she hated herself. She had helped Serena kill the demon in her father, whom in turn, killed the only family she had left.

"Hota?" she heard the familiar soothing voice "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked softly. She shook her head slowly still sobbing. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't, because it would reveal that she and her friends were the 'Legendary Sailor Scouts'. "Ok, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I'm here if you need me." and he sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her smaller form, pulling her close, in a comforting hug. Hotaru rested her head on his well-chiselled chest as the tears continued to fall.

Fifteen minuets passed and he continued to hold her, rocking her lightly resting his chin on top of her head. Slowly he heard her sniffles subside as she looked up at him with slightly red, puffy eyes. She sighed and leaned onto him again, "I'm sorry..." she whispered into his chest.

"Hey don't worry about it. Like I said, I'll be here for you." he smiled kissing the top of her hair. What's wrong with me! Normally I'd be laughing my ass off at someone if the same thing happened to them, but here I am, wanting to stay like this. What the hell is my heart doing, jumping up and down in my ribs. It's just Hotaru... Wait no it's the beautiful, ebony haired, amethyst eyed, and loving Hotaru. Am I Falling for her? Impossible! How can I, I barely know her! But she's not like anyone else I know...All I want to do is to make her pain go away...

Hotaru closed her eyes when she felt his lips touch the top of her head. She relaxed within her friend's embrace, Or is he just a friend...Wait of course he is JUST a friend... even if I did just 'happen' to like him as more, he'd never feel the same... He's just being kind...then why does it hurt to know this? Am I falling for him? sigh my head hurts. I think too much...
