Sorry that this update took so long. School. And I've been reading other fanfictions. Mostly Reminiscence, another SMHP fic by Requiem of Fire. I highly recommend it.

This chapter, we're gonna timeskip. And we're gonna do that a lot this story. It will be better once I can get to the next book. It's exceedingly hard combining a story about first-years into a the third book. Especially with Lupin. DADA is going to be extremely difficult, with teachers switching out every year.

Chapter 4

After a couple of weeks at Hogwarts, the girls had adjusted to life at Hogwarts. They still spoke in Japanese when alone or when they needed to have a private conversation in a crowded room, but for the most part they had adjusted to English, except for the occasional, "What?" when somebody said something they didn't know.

Chibi-Usa had a knack for Potions, not that Snape would say anything about it. He even called her a show-off once. Along with Potions, she was good at Herbology and flying. Hotaru specialized in Charms, and Transfiguration. Both girls had a tendency to sleep or games on their parchment during History of Magic, and both were fine in Astronomy. Even if Chibi-Usa told Professor Sinistra that she thought there was once a kingdom on the moon and that an evil witch from Earth who was overtaken by a dark spirit that had been banished from the sun was responsible for it's downfall. Needless to say, Gryffindor lost points that class. They were excellent in DADA, which earned them more than one compliment from Professor Lupin.

Oh, yeah. And Chibi-Usa had a crush on another Gryffindor boy.

In terms of their mission, they had found nothing. Diana made regular patrols around the Hogwarts premises and the girls patrolled the Forbidden Forest as often as possible. Which wasn't very often. Nothing of note actually happened, however, until the day of the first Hogsmeade weekend trip.

Break to an actual scene...

Chibi-Usa and Hotaru had come back from yet another fruitless search of the grounds. It was hard to cover as much ground as possible without revealing their identity. As it was, there were rumors spreading of a monster in the forest, that had a giant blade ten feet tall(that part was exaggerated. The Silence Glaive is six feet), spiked purple feet(also exaggerated. And how does one confuse boots with feet?), furry pink ears(yes, tricorn odango do look like ears. They, don't, however, look furry), and rode a giant rabbit(okay, now where did that one even come from? Hogwarts students like mangling rumors, don't they?).

Once the girls realized there was a trip to Hogsmeade, they thought it could be dangerous since, even though he wasn't allowed, Sirius Black might think Harry was in Hogsmeade and try to attack students. Therefore, the girls found themselves sneaking out of Hogwarts to get to Hogsmeade. Now to figure out how. Hotaru suggested they slip into the crowd of leaving students, but Chibi-Usa pointed out that she was known across the school as the pink-haired first-year. Diana suggested they try turning invisible, but Hotaru said they hadn't learned that yet. They debated for a while. Eventually, they decided they were going nowhere and should just try something. They found themselves wandering the Forbidden Forest in hopes of finding something. They didn't find any ways to Hogsmeade, but they did find out that the deeper you went into the forest the creepier it got. They soon decided to head back to the castle, so they turned and left the forest. As they de-transformed and slipped back to the castle, they didn't realize someone was watching them.

The girls traipsed back to the castle and up to the Common Room, where they collapsed on the couch. Diana was sleeping in front of the fire with Granger's hideous cat-thing, but woke up when she heard the girls. Making sure no one was around, she started asking questions.

"So how did it go?" she asked quietly.

"About as well as expected. That is to say, not at all," Hotaru answered as Chibi-Usa picked up Diana and started stroking her.

"That's bad. If it keeps like this, we'll never catch Black in time."

"You know, I've been thinking. What do we actually know about Sirius Black?" Chibi-Usa asked.

"That he killed thirteen men with one curse, was thrown into wizard prison for twelve years, escaped somehow, and is now trying to kill Harry Potter," Hotaru answered in a bit of a monotone.

"Yes, but how much do we REALLY know about him? We should research him."

"Research? What is there to research?"

"His genealogy?"

"How would his genealogy help us in any way, shape, or form!" Hotaru practically yelled, causing a prefect to come down.

"What are you two yelling about?" the prefect asked.

"Quidditch," was Chibi-Usa's automatic response, confusing the fifth-year. "We're researching famous Quidditch players and I thought we could look up genealogy on one of them." A look of realization fluttered across the prefect's face, before he looked confused again. Trying not to figure out the minds of the two first-years, he left back upstairs.

Deciding they were getting nowhere with discussing Sirius Black, the girls sat down on the floor and played card games until dinnertime. The girls walked down to dinner, having one train of thought.

I wonder when Black will make a move.

The girls sat down at the Gryffindor table, Chibi-Usa sitting as close as she could to her crush, which conveniently placed them near Potter and his friends. After dinner, the girls arose with the other Gryffindors to head back to the common room. When they arrived there, they found the Fat Lady's portrait slashed and the Fat Lady nowhere to be found. After an explanation from Peeves the Poltergeist, the entire school was ordered back to the Great Hall for the night. To the other people, Chibi-Usa and Hotaru looked terrified. They had practiced putting on masks to hide their true feelings, which were Dang it, we should be patrolling now!

POV change...

Diana the Moon Kitten heard about Sirius' attempted entrance via Crookshanks. As she knew the girls would never be able to patrol tonight, she slipped out and ran to the forest. She kept a wary eye out for the murderer, but never found anything. After coming across a giant black dog, she turned and ran. After an hour or so, she turned back and trudged back to the castle, upset they had lost the first lead they had gotten. Once back to the castle, she asked Mrs. Norris(horrid cat, by the way, but Diana made an effort to keep on good terms with her) where the students were. Getting her answer, she walked to the Great Hall.

POV change...

Chibi-Usa and Hotaru were pretending to sleep when one of the doors creaked open. Everybody's head shot up, then went down when they realized it was a kitten. Diana walked through the crowd until she reached the girls, where she curled up between their heads.

"I looked as hard as I could, but he would be gone by now," she whispered softly.

"We know. We'll do a patrol tomorrow, but any trail will probably be lost by then," Chibi-Usa whispered back, just as softly. With wands and transformation items under their pillows, the girls fell asleep.

Scene break...

After students were permitted to leave the Great Hall the next day, the girls gathered their items and left in a hurry. After a stop by Gryffindor tower, now guarded by some exasperating knight guy, to change clothes, the girls ran down to the grounds and into the Forbidden Forest.

"SATURN POWER!" Hotaru yelled.

"MOON PRISM POWER!" Chibi-Usa cried.

"MAKE-UP!" they shouted together.

There was a flash of pink and purple light and there stood the Senshi. Hotaru held out her left hand and Chibi-Usa held out her right and the Silence Glaive and Pink Moon Stick appeared in their respective hands. They ran into the forest, hoping to find something.

POV change...

She wasn't sure. She figured the two girls must be the Sailor Senshi, but she wasn't sure. She did know why she didn't recognize them, though. She had been there the summer before Chamber of Secrets was opened. She had seen when the Muggle news reporters hounded the Senshi and asked for their real identities.

"We will not tell you our identities," Sailor Moon had replied.

"Wouldn't that kill the fun, knowing who we are?" Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Moon's apparent future replacement, had asked.

"Of course, for any normal heroes it would be glaringly obvious who they were if they disguised as us," Mars had said.

"But we're not normal heroes," Mercury had said, computer in hand. "Our tiaras generate an energy, preventing anyone from physically recognizing us."

"And that's all we'll say on the subject," Jupiter had said, before putting her hand over the camera and refusing to move it.

The girl giggled slightly. That trip to Tokyo had been eventful, that was for sure. She had never told anyone about the Senshi, figuring it wasn't important here and no one would believe her anyway. Then she saw the pink-haired first-year, Chibi-Usa, and her mysterious sidekick, Hotaru. She had been looking out a tower window one day, when she saw them slip into the Forbidden Forest. She watched them for a while afterwards, never catching them. Then yesterday, she came back from Hogsmeade early and checked the forest. She hid behind a tree and stayed there until she saw pink and purple light cast on the trees in front of her. Turning around, she saw the two students with strange items in their hands, which they slipped in their pockets.

Now she was following them once again, determined to catch them this time. She hid in one of the bushes around the clearing where the girls stopped. She saw the girl pull out the items again and lift them up in the air

"SATURN POWER!"

"MOON PRISM POWER!"

"MAKE-UP!"

And in a flash, before her stood Sailor Chibi Moon and the Senshi known for being creepy and only using a defensive attack, Sailor Saturn. The girls materialized their weapons in their hands, then ran off into the forest.

The girl stood up and ran out of the forest. She had seen enough and knew that something big must be happening or the girls would be attending a wizard school closer to their home. Or, possibly, they weren't even witches at all. Either way, the girl had a big secret on her hands and she was going to have to hide it. Even from the Senshi themselves.

Chapter end

Okay, I will let you people guess who the mysterious girl is and who Chibi-Usa's crush is. Tell me in a review! Not that I'll tell you if you're right or wrong. Here's a recap list of data.

The Crush: A Gryffindor.

The Mysterious Girl: At least second-year, if you haven't figured that out, and has visited Tokyo.

Mmmm... Hard... For you... Rate! Review!
