Here is the next chapter it starts from when Mina walked away from Harry in the previous chapter, I hope you are able to tell that. I have also figured out a bit more of where this story is going. It will still follow the basic HP storyline but will have a few more changes that I have thought up or from ideas given to me.

The pairings are definitly decided on.

Harry/Mina/Draco:

i know many will think that draco would be a jerk and everything but they will become friends it will be a little OOC for Draco but it is sort of explained, as to why they become friends. I also think that Malfoy wants the best and the most beautiful girl in the whole school is Mina, she is even prettier than Fleur so I think if he was to be interested in any girl it would be the most beautiful ergo Mina. Plus judging from Mina's past love interests she totally has a thing for blondes. (Ace, Kunzite, Motoki etc.)

I also love the pairing of Mina and Harry. I think they would make an adorable couple. Harry might also be a tad OOC too. An idea was given to me by Nxkris (who is great at giving me good ideas, thanks!) to make Harry a tad more jaded, he did after all have to deal with heaps of crap. I loved that idea as it will allow for further bonding between the two.

Though it is a triangle I already know who Mina will end up with and I think it is fairly obvious!

Ron and Ami:

I have never been a fan of Ron/Hermione (nor Harry and Ginny that is my least favourite pairing in the whole HP saga anyways!) This is a perfect way for me to rectify that. Ami is similar to Hermione but much nicer and prettier etc so they are adorable together.

Also Setsuna will probably not be mentioned heaps in the story. This is because she is a teacher and mainly there to watch over Mina and Ami to make sure they are handling the situation. She will pop up in chapters but isn't really central. The two central are Harry and Mina. Ami and Ron are also mentioned a fair bit aswell.

I think that is all I wanted to say. Please review and any ideas are welcome! Flames aren't!

I do not own HP,SM, or any other thing you recognise!

Minako walked away from Harry smiling widely. She made her way quickly through the train after loading her trunks. As she walked through the train she got a few whistles and catcalls and plenty of stares, she didn't really pay attention as she was searching for Ami and thinking about how nice and handsome Harry was.

She finally found Ami sitting in the corner of an empty compartment reading the Da Vinci Code. Minako slid the door open and sat loudly down across from Ami with a huge grin on her face.

Ami looked up from her book and smiled at Mina.

"What took you so long to get here and what has you so happy?"

Minako stared out of the window and turned slightly pink.

"Oh well since I wasn't too sure about walking through a wall I closed my eyes and went too far. I only stopped because I ran into somebody which caused my belongings to tumble everywhere. It just so happened that I ran into a certain guy we had to protect."

Ami's eyes widened. "You ran into Harry so quickly, he wasn't injured was he. Our job is to protect him."

Minako giggled at Ami. "He is fine, he just helped me pick up my stuff and we introduced ourselves that is it."

Ami looked at her friend and saw that her face had turned a darker pink. "There was more wasn't there? You are blushing"

"It was just he is so cute, Ami and polite, a true English gentleman. I forgot how much I loved the accent."

Ami was about to respond when they heard voices from outside the compartment.

"Oh you boys, all you ever think of is quidditch, food and girls. Grow up! I am less concerned about her looks but rather why is she starting fourth year here. Hogwarts never takes new students. You only start as a first year that is it. It is a strange occurrence for her to be entering so late. Did you even think of asking her why she gets to be an exception?"

"No I didn't Hermione, though she did say that it wasn't just her entering fourth year but that her friend was also starting at Hogwarts with her."

Ami and Minako looked at each other and new that the people outside the compartment were talking about them. Minako smiled and recognised Harry's voice.

"That is his voice Ami, he was talking about me."

"Minako ask them to sit in here with us. It would be much easier to protect Harry if we became friends with him."

Minako nodded and stood up. The girls voice outside started again but louder indicating they were getting closer to where they were

"Wow two new students that aren't first years. This is amazing it has never happened before in the History of Hogwarts. I wonder what is so special about those two that allows them to come to Hogwarts four years into their education. I wonder if it has anything to do with the secret that you relatives keep talking about Ron."

At that Minako stuck her head out of the compartment and smiled widely at the three people.

"Hello Harry, fancy seeing you again."

Harry blushed slightly as Ron elbowed him and smiled widely. "Yes well we are going to the same school after all. We are just looking for a compartment to sit in."

Minako stepped out of the compartment and indicated for them to come inside. "Here sit with us. We have this huge space with only me and my friend in here, please join us."

Harry and Ron nodded smiling while Hermione looked at Mina suspiciously before following the boys into the compartment. Minako sat down next to Ami while Ron, Harry and Hermione took a seat across from them.

"Hi my name is Minako Aino, but please call me Mina and this is my friend Ami."

Ami shyly looked up from her book and offered them a polite smile.

"I am Hermione Granger this is Ronald Weasley and of course that is Harry Potter."

"Nice to you meet you three." Ami said before returning to her book. Minako giggled nervously.

"Sorry Ami just a little shy and seems to really be enjoying that book."

Ami apologised for being rude and closed the book. Hermione looked at the two girls and could not shake the suspicion she felt. She was still curious as to why they would get to come to Hogwarts so late.

She also felt slightly inferior because of her looks. Minako was absolutely gorgeous and even Ami was more beautiful than most girls at Hogwarts. Hermione who hated feeling like that immediately went on the offensive.

"So I hear you guys are entering fourth year. Why are you both moving to Hogwarts for? It seems very strange to me. I have read history of Hogwarts many times and not once has a person been accepted into Hogwarts after first year."

Minako who was a great actress explained the cover story they had concocted.

"Well I was born in Japan but my father's job had us moved to England when I was six and we lived there till I was 11. When I was turning 11 I was offered a spot at Hogwarts but didn't get the chance to attend as my family and I moved back to Japan. I then received a letter from the magical school in Japan and so I spent my first 3 years there. I missed England and had a falling out with my parents and wanted to return to England not caring about my schooling but my professors did. They contacted Dumbledore for me and he offered me a spot here again. So here I am. My mother and father are horrible and won't be able to find me since they are both muggle born.

Ami on the other hand had always lived in Japan and went to the same magic school I went to but she is incredibly smart, too smart. They can't offer her as much as Hogwarts could and since I was transferring here they thought that Ami could come too to help her schooling. She agreed of course wanting to learn more than our old school could ever offer. Her mother was reluctant to let her go because she was muggle born too and doesn't really understand the magic world. But we convinced her to let Ami come because she is one of my best friends and needs a challenge."

Hermione eyed the two of them, their story had a few holes but generally made sense. "I didn't even know there was a magical school in Japan. What is it called and why couldn't it offer you as much as Hogwarts can?"

The girls were told about how Hermione believed herself to be one of the smartest fourth years discreetly rolled their eyes at her antics.

Ami decided to answer the question playing on Hermione's knowledge or in this case lack off. "Does it matter what our school was called. Maybe you should do more research if you didn't know that all countries have their own magical schools. Japan is quite a small country and so the school is smaller than Hogwarts and tends to focus more on the academics. We didn't really get the chance to try out many of the spells and potions and all that stuff. Is that okay with you Hermione?"

Hermione huffed slightly before grabbing out a textbook and burying her nose in it. Ron and Harry smiled apologetically at the girls.

"Sorry about Hermione she just likes to know everything. We are certainly glad to have you girls attend Hogwarts though." Ron said blushing slightly.

"Well thankyou Ronald, we are so happy to be here. I hear great things about Hogwarts." Ami said as she smiled shyly at him. Minako hid her giggle and nodded along with Ami.

Ron groaned at hearing what Ami called him.

"You're welcome but could you call me Ron please I hate being called Ronald but for some reason Hermione always calls me that."

The girls nodded and they started discussing their likes and dislikes. The lunch trolley arrived and Harry purchases some cauldron cakes for them to share while Minako and Ami tried to subtly observe all the different sort of treats on offer.

Minako bought some Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans and was soon munching away happily occasionally pulling a face. Ami had bought two chocolate frogs and nearly lost one as it went to jump away, luckily her senshi reflexes kicked in and she caught it before anyone noticed. She was enjoying reading the cards that came with them.

After enjoying their treats a few people had dropped by their carriage to talk to them. Ami and Minako were introduced to Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas and Neville Longbottom. The boys had started a discussion on Quidditch and the Quidditch world cup. Ami and Hermione and ignored the boys ramblings and had occupied themselves with books while Minako had excused herself to go to the bathroom.

The boys were currently discussing Viktor Krum the famous Bulgarian seeker after Ron showed Neville a miniature figure of Krum.

"Oh wow." Said Neville enviously as Ron tipped Krum into his hand.

"We saw him right up close, as well." Said Ron. "We were in the Top Box – "

Just then a voice interrupted from the doorway

"For the first and last time in your life, Weasley."

Everybody in the compartment except for Ami looked up and glared at the three boys standing by the door that was left ajar after Dean and Seamus had exited. Ami ignored the boys and kept on reading.

Harry rolled his eyes at Draco Malfoy.

"Don't remember asking you to join us, Malfoy."

Malfoy just glared at everybody in the compartment and saw horrible maroon dress robes hanging over the cage of Ron's pet owl Pigwidgeon.

"Weasley ... What is that?"

Ron blushed red and tried to move the dress robes before Malfoy could grab them but Malfoy was too quick. He snatched them off the cage and laughed.

"Weasley you weren't thinking of wearing these, were you? I mean they were very fashionable in about 1980..."

Ron snatched the robes from Malfoy as his face turned a dangerous shade of red. "Eat dung Malfoy."

Malfoy howled with laughter as his two goons guffawed stupidly.

"So going to enter Weasley? Going to try and bring some glory to your family name, there is money involved in it too. You'd be able to afford some decent robes if you win. How about you Potter? I suppose you will, you never miss a chance to show off do you?"

Ron sick of hearing Malfoys voice snapped at him. "What are you talking about Malfoy?"

Malfoy looked shocked for a split second before his smirk became even more evident.

"Don't tell me you don't know. You have a father and a brother at the ministry and you don't even know? My God, my father told me about it ages ago... heard it from Cornelius Fudge. But then, Father's always associated with the top people at the ministry... Maybe your father's too junior to know about it, Weasley... yes ... they probably don't talk about important stuff in front of him."

Ami, who was sick of hearing the patronising tone in this new boy's voice, spoke up for the first time bringing all the attention to her.

"Either explain what you're on about or go away. Some of us have better things to do than listen to you tease Mr Weasley."

Malfoy looked the girl up and down. She was quite cute in a different sort of way with her cropped blue hair and big blue eyes but he didn't like being talked to that way.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?"

He stepped towards her and Ron stepped in front of him to stop anything from happening. Ami thought the action was sweet but gently laid her hand on Ron's shoulders and faced Malfoy.

"My name is Ami Mizuno. I would say it was a pleasure to meet you but so fair you have been nothing but rude."

Malfoy scoffed at the girl. "Like I care, you must be one of Potters newest groupies or are you a friend of the mudblood over there. You look to both be as nerdy as each other. You are all such losers."

Ron was about to argue back when somebody behind Malfoy cleared her throat. Malfoy turned around to see an irate beautiful blonde. He was captivated by her but he could tell she was clearly not impressed by him.

She pushed past him to sit beside Ami. After she sat down she glared up at Malfoy.

"Look I don't know who you are but if you ever talk to my friend like that again I will hurt you. Ami is not a loser she is one of the best people I know. You shouldn't go around judging people before you even know them. Just because she happens to be reading a book doesn't mean anything and as for insulting the others they are extremely nice people that I hope to become friends with so please leave before you upset them anymore than you already have."

Malfoy groaned internally, this was the first truly beautiful girl at the school and she was friends with Potter and hated him already. Though Malfoy wanted to apologise and try to get to know the girl better he had a reputation to keep, even if her beautiful blue eyes seemed to see into his soul.

"You must be new too. A word of advice, choose your friends carefully. Being friends with these people is not the best way to go. I hope you get sorted into Slytherin, and then you might be away from those people."

He turned and left leaving the train compartment in silence. Ron who was still angry got up and slammed the door shut causing the glass to break.

"Reparo!" Hermione sad pointing her wand at the door. Minako and Ami watched enthralled at the door repairing itself.

The silence again spread. Minako looked over to Ami to make sure what that boy said didn't upset her. She looked slightly sad so Minako wrapped her arm around her shoulders.

"Thank you Mina, but you didn't need to defend me like that. I don't even know what he was going on about half the time."

"I will always defend you Ami, nobody talks to my friends like that. Though I would like to know who he is and why the fight started."

Ami quickly went over the fight and Minako nodded.

"His name is Malfoy?" Ami nodded and Minako sighed slightly. "I know he probably starts all the fights but I can sense that he isn't really that bad just slightly misunderstood. I may have yelled at him but only to defend you. I should apologise later. I think he just needs a little sunshine in his life, he is too cold. Maybe he doesn't get enough love from his parents."

Harry snorted. "I don't think anything will help him, he is a natural jerk and nothing gets through his ice cold heart. I wouldn't even bother with him Mina."

Mina shook her head; it was hard to get people to understand the way she felt. Thanks to her powers she was able to sense people's feelings and she could tell that Malfoy was just confused and hurt. It stemmed from deep inside of him but Mina knew she wanted to help him.

"Harry thank you for your opinion but I could see he was really hurting inside and I am going to try and be his friend even if he hates me. I doubt I will be put in Slytherin but I think he just needs me to bring a little light to his life."

Ami smiled at her friend, happy that she had such a big heart. She defended her but felt bad for judging someone from their first meeting, Minako was truly one of a kind.

"Well Mina if there anyone that can bring sunshine into his life it is definitely you. "

Mina nodded as Harry, Ron and Hermione glanced at each other nervously. Not wanting her to even try to befriend the cold Slytherin. Hermione tried to get their point across.

"I guess you could try Mina but if you aren't in Slytherin he won't do more than insult you. Add to that the fact that you are a muggle born, he won't want to know you."

"Maybe not but I have to try. I will just have to use some of my feminine charms on him." Minako joked.

Ami shook her head at Minako and just as she was about to return to her book she remembered the way Ron had stood in front of her to protect her from Malfoy. She blushed slightly before turning to Ron. "By the way Ron, thank you for protecting me. The way you stepped in between Malfoy and me was really sweet."

Minako looked curiously between Ron and Ami as Ron blushed bright red and mumbled "Your welcome."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron while Harry tried to hide his laugh behind his hand. The rest of the trip was spent in mostly in silence. Minako, Ami and Hermione were too bust reading their books, Ron was thinking about why he had protected Ami and Harry was thinking about everything that had happened at the Quidditch world cup.

As they started getting closer to the school they each started to change into their Hogwarts robes. Ami and Hermione put on their similar outfits both consisting of a below the knee length pleated black skirt, black stockings, white collared blouse, black v-neck school jumper, tie and black robes. Hermione's had the colours of Gryffindor whereas Ami's was completely black as Mina and Ami had yet to be sorted.

Minako's was slightly different than the other girls. Though her blouse and jumper were the same her skirt was black ending just above the knees with pleats along just the sides, her stockings were lighter and more transparent, she decided against a tie and her shoes were black rounded school shoes with a strap over her foot whereas Hermione and Ami had on black flats.

The boys also changed into their uniform which was grey pants a white collared shirt, red and gold Gryffindor tie and the Gryffindor jumper.

Finally the train slowed down and finally stopped in the pitch darkness of Hogsmeade station. Outside the rain was pouring down and everybody was trying to keep as dry as possible but failing miserably. Ron glancing out of the corner of his eyes noticed that Ami seemed to love the rain more than anybody else. A grin was stretched across her face and the rain seemed to sparkle off her skin.

He was entanced by the view, she looked so happy. Everybody else seemed to darken in the rain but she seemed to glow.

'Firs' years follow me." A loud voice bellowed out and Ron was broken free of his day dream.

"Hi Hagrid."

"All righ' Harry? See yeh at the feast if we don' drown."

Hermione giggled softly, "oh I wouldn't fancy crossing the lake in this weather."

Minako groaned loudly turning to Ami, "I don't want to go across the lake, please Ami tell me we aren't going with the first years."

Ami looked at Mina apologetically, "Sorry Mina but we were told we were travelling with the first years so that we could be sorted into a house."

Minako looked over at the boats on the lake and sighed in resignation. As she walked over to the boats she shouted over her shoulder. "Fine I will go on the stupid boats but Ami if I fall in the water you will save me won't you? If you don't I will haunt you forever!"

Ami smiled at the golden trio, "Sorry about that she can sometimes be a tad melodramatic. We will see you guys later hopefully."

"Yeah I hope you end up in Gryffindor." Ron said as Ami started to walk towards the boats she looked over at him and nodded.

"Me too!"

Harry chuckled at Ron mimicking him.

"I hope you end up in Gryffindor."

Ron punched Harry in the shoulder and turned bright red. "Shut up"

Harry snickered as the three got into the carriages and both the carriages and the boats headed for Hogwarts.
