A/N: Okay…so here's the deal…I wrote this when I was a teenager and stupid. I'm doing my best to make it decent, but I swear the chapters get better as I get older. I'm trying to edit along the way while staying true to the idea I had the moment I wrote it. A review or two would be nice and give me some encouragement.

I also don't own anything you recognize. Thx.

Chapter 3 ~ Quidditch, Scouting, and Malfoy

Well, Quidditch was so much fun. The match was between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Apparently, the Puffs aren't very good. We were ahead 170-10 in the first hour. I did get to play for part of the game, but not as Seeker. On of the Chasers was injured by a bludger. The back up player was sick, so I stepped in to help. After three hours, Harry finally spotted the Snitch. We won the game 310-90. It was a good first game and I might even be moved to chaser. Practice was interesting after that. The next game is against Slytherin. I've discovered an amazing house rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin. We've been practicing twice as hard for this match. Enough about Quidditch and Slytherin, I have to get to the headmaster's office.

I finally have permission to help the Scouts when they call. I'm really not sure how, but my communicator has started working again. I got my first call right after I left the office. Dumbledore may know more than he's letting on. The mission I went on was very important. Serena needed all of the Scouts' powers to vanquish the monster.

I've mentioned that I'm allowed to go on missions, but I forgot to say that I'm not to be seen. Apparently the magical world has a 'Big Bad' too. If he found out about me or the other Sailor Scouts, he could try to get us on his side. Usually this is pretty easy with the time difference between Hogwarts and Tokyo. My missions are at night. The only person I have to look out for is Filch and his cat.

So far, I haven't had any problems. Very few people are brave enough to stay out after curfew. Maybe brave isn't the right word- I should probably say that most people aren't stupid enough to stay out past curfew because it means detention if you get caught. I say most because what would happen next would surprise even me.

I'm not sure whether to be excited or terrified. I've been seen. I guess I should explain. Darien called last night saying that the Scouts were in trouble and needed my help. Of course I left as soon as I could. Sneaking out isn't the hard part. It's getting back in that's tricky. The Scouts are all fine. We took out the monster after a day-long battle. Yeah, I missed classes. I'm sure the professors are going to love me tomorrow when I try to explain. Maybe I'll talk to Dumbledore about it. There's always a possibility that missions will take more than a few hours. But I digress…

I was sneaking back in just now and bumped into the last person on Earth I wanted to see. Yes, Draco Malfoy just knocked me flat on my arse.

"Well, well, well," he said. "What do we have here? A Gryffindor out after curfew? I thought only Saint Potter and his goody-goody friends were allowed to do that." He smirked.

"Leave me alone, Malfoy. I'm just trying to get back to my common room," I told him hoping he wouldn't notice how tired I was.

"Wearing the same clothes you were yesterday?" he asked his grin widening.

"How did you know that?" I wasn't entirely sure he even knew I existed let alone noticed what clothes I wore.

"I know quite a lot of things about you Mina. Like I know for a fact that you weren't in class today and, by the look of things, you just snuck back into the castle. Where were you?"

"I don't have to tell you anything Malfoy," I said walking past him.

I almost made it too, but he grabbed my arm and spun me back to him. "You do have to tell me, unless you'd like to tell Professor Snape," he said with a knowing look.

Now there's a choice. Tell the Prince of Pompus or deal with Snape. What did I do? I hear you cry. I lied. "I went to Tokyo. A friend needed help. Ok?" It was still sort of the truth. The kind of thing you can get by with even under Veritaserum.

"Isn't Tokyo in Japan?" Apparently Draco Malfoy had suddenly taken great interest in my life. Perfect.

"Duh Malfoy. Get a map."

"I wouldn't talk like that if I was in your position. Actually, I wouldn't talk at all," he said. Then he kissed me. Draco Fucking Malfoy kissed ME. And then he disappeared. I just stood there a moment, and then ran straight to the common room. I was lucky enough to not meet anyone else on my way. I'll have to go see Professor Dumbeldore about my homework in the morning. I went straight to my bed and zonked out. I didn't notice that another someone was watching me.
