"Moon Shard!"

Elegantly raising her head, Snow released a wide spray of Ice Shards overhead, waiting until gravity was just slowing their ascent before firing off a splintered Moonblast into their midst.

The class gasped as crystalline ice caught the Fairy light before fracturing into glittery snow, falling gently in the chilly autumn air and reflecting rainbows.

A beat of silence, and cheers rose from the Gryffindors as Hagrid clapped enthusiastically, beaming.

"Fantastic! Amazing job, Nazz! You're a natural!"

Said half-Gem smiled sheepishly, shrugging, as Snow sat primly on the grass, pleased.

"Of course he would say that." Draco scoffed, and Harry turned to glare as Ludwig tightened his arms around the Eggs in his lap. "All the freak has to do is make some sparkles, and the peasants clap."

Mulan and Rapunzel glared from where they had been fussing over the Eggs, and Pongo let out a gravelly snarl that actually made the hair stand up on Harry's neck, though Nasrin's sharp-edged smile pulled them up short.

"Honestly, Draco! You're girlfriend's right there, and you're flirting with another girl!"

The Prince of Slytherin sputtered, beginning to turn a strong shade of puce, and Pansy scrambled to her feet with a glare.

"As if! Draco wasn't flirting!"

"Well, he agreed with Hagrid that I'm a natural Coordinator." Nasrin replied easily, Robin and Hedwig already sniggering as she batted her eyes dramatically. "And everyone knows being a Coordinator means bringing out the beauty of your Pokemon. If he thinks I'm a natural, that means he thinks me and my Pokemon are beautiful."

Draco was practically choking on air, Pansy was seething, and Ron was nearly rolling with repressed laughter.

"Don't worry, Pansy, I'm in a happy, committed relationship and would never think of flirting with your boyfriend."

Nasrin paused here, eyebrow quirked.

"Though it seems I can't say the same for you."

Gryffindor was struggling hard to bite back snickers as the Third Year Slytherins practically steamed, Harry's stomach aching from spasms of held-in laughter, when-

CRACK.

Everyone froze, and Mulan yipped in surprise when the brown-shaded Egg in her paws jerked sharply, smacking against the green-pink-white and setting off another series of cracks.

"They're hatching!" Nasrin realized, rushing over to kneel in front of Harry with a wide smile.

Her satisfaction had morphed into joy, a bright light rippling through the class as even Hagrid crowded around to watch, and Ludwig babbled while grabbing onto Snow's ear, excited to see more cracks forming.

A great heave, and the shells fell away to reveal the Pokemon within, earning confused blinks and coos from the crowd as a tiny little ball of Pokemon yawned and a brown-furred horse-like Pokemon shook out his mane and stumbled on knobby legs.

"Whoa, there." Nasrin giggled as she caught the Bounsweet gently in one palm, Snow wrapping all six tails around as Rapunzel and Melody surrounded to sniff and cuddle their newest little member.

Blinking, the Mudbray snuffled at Mulan curiously, chuffing happily when said Riolu hugged his entire head with a happy growl.

For the third time, Harry watched these new little lives be born and looked up into shining dark eyes, heart filled to bursting.

This would never get old.

"When it all feels like everything's impossible, and you don't fit right in a crowd, go wild and break the mold…"

Steadying himself against the side effects of Teleportation, Harry relaxed as the mixing voices of Ariel and Melody created calm music, a smile forming as Eevee bounded over to snuggle-wrestle with Pongo and Ludwig floated over to land on Snow's back, patting Mulan's head from where the Riolu was perched on a lounging Khan the Mudbray's back.

"If you don't try you'll never fly, but you got to be brave, yeah…"

Taking his usual spot on the windowsill, he watched Togetic pluck Meeko off the floor with a trill, the pair nuzzling each other as Robin fluttered over to join Hedwig on his shoulders.

"Say you're out of luck, knocked down in the dust, you've got a fragile heart, I know, 'cause so do I…"

Dobby released a mental sigh, plopping down and leaning against his hip, Duchess the Bounsweet and Rapunzel on his lap, as Nasrin weaved song.

"Stuck here strugglin', harder to believe that, things may fall apart, you can't give up the fight, yeah…Sometimes, running on low, takes you all the way home, prove how far you can go, you've gotta show the world…"

Ariel smiled from the half-Gem's shoulder, content to bathe in the moonlight, as Melody enthusiastically kept up the background.

"When it all feels like everything's impossible, and you don't fit right in a crowd, go wild and break the mold, if you don't try you'll never fly, but you gotta be brave, yeah, gotta be brave, yeah…"

The song faded, like mist before a breeze, leaving peace in its wake.

"How'd planning go?"

"Good." Harry offered, leaning back as Robin began to preen at his hair. "With this one, we won't have to worry about ruining Oliver's dream."

"Fantastic." The pinkette breathed out, relieved. "After that grand speech about how we need to be more like the twins, I was worried the old plan would give him an aneurysm."

"Me, too. Tonks thinks this one is even better."

"I'm sure it is."

The half-Gem smiled, and Harry would tell anyone who asked that yes, even after three years of friendship, one of which they were dating, that smile still lit up a room.

"So, what do we do?"
