Three Japanese teens walked into a magical pub in London, England:
Oosaka Naru, accompanied by Umino Gurio and Uwada Ryu, slowly searched the 'Leaky Cauldron'.
"This is where Usagi-chan said to wait?" Umino asked.
"Hai." Naru said, holding onto a silk-purse. "She wrote to wait for someone to show us to train. Hai."
"One of the other Senshi, I hope?" Umino asked. "Do not wish to be robbed and left for dead. What
would Hime think?"
"A friend of friend will meet us!" Ryu answered. "Hai."
"'Friend of friend'?" Naru and Umino asked as quietly as posible:
"who is 'friend of friend'?" Umino asked.
"Who is 'friend'?" Naru followed up.
"Friend of Ami's and Usagi's.." Ryu blushed a bit. "from.. Mahautsukai school?"
"'From Mahautsukai school'?" Umino asked, looking to Ryu.
"What happened at Mahautsukai school?" Naru followed Umino's lead.
And, Ryu blushed even more!
"Who is 'friend of friend'?" Naru repeated Umino's question to Ryu. "Can we trust 'Friend of Friend'?"
"Hai!" Ryu snapped to attention.
"Can we trust 'friend'?" Naru looked toward Ryu out of the corner of her eye with a sly smile.
"I.. hope so?" Ryu meeped.
"Will Usagi be alright?" Umino asked. "Will Ami-chan be alright?"
"As long as Ami-chan is alright?" Naru nodded. "Usagi will be alright!"
"Usagi is alright!", a voice came from inside the pub, "Amelia Katherina Seraphim will e alright, as long as Usagi is alright!"
Naru, Umino, and Ryu looked in back of them for the voice that answered.
"Do you have the collars?" A rough-looking face with course blue hair asked.
"We have collars! Two!" Naru answered the rough-looking face. "Who are you?"
"I am called Zelgadis Greywords," The face replied, "I am here to escort you to Hogwarts'! Hai."
"Ara." Umino suddenly came to life, again, "The freind of the friend!"
"Hai." Zelgadis spoke. "Protector of Amelia Wil Tesla, Hime no Seyruun, healer and Quixotic 'Defender of Justice'! Apprenticed to Lina Inverse, and as nutty as her father, Prince Phil."
"Ara..", Naru pondered. "Prince Phil?"
"Philionel El Di Seyruun, Prince of Seyruun!" Zelgadis explained on the way to the Train. "He's the last of the three brothers who claimed the throne of Seyruun! And? Claimed himself to be Seyruun's 'Defender of Justice'! Amelia, as the youngest child and 'Daddy's Little Girl', was fed those stories like mother's milk and decided to emulate daddy! So? She apprintenced to Lina!"
"Ara.. "'Amelia' ano "Philionel', princess ano king!" Naru spoke as she took notes. "You are, dano?"
"Bodyguard!" Zelgadis answered quickly.
"'Bodyguard'?" Umino repeated.
"Like Mizuno-chan ano Hino-chan!" Naru quipped, grinning at a long-ago memory.
Umino leaned over and whispered to Naru:
"You think bodyguard is as bad as Mizuno?"
"As bad as Hino-chan, at least!" Naru grinned. "Like unto Mizuno? Maybe!"
And, Ryu sweatdropped.
Sometimes? Being a precognative was embarassing, for all concerned.
Zelgadis looked suspiciously to the young woman:
"You are.. not.. part-Mizuko, are you?"
"Not that is known!" Naru chirped. "Iyaa!"
"Sounds too much like Xellos!" Zelgadis mumbled.
And? Naru grinned.
The four travelers soon came in sight of people coming out of and walking into a wall!
"Ara." Naru reread Usagi's instructions. "'Platform 7 & 3/4'! Our train!"
"Well-concealed!" Zelgadis grinned.
"So? Non-Magicals will not see! Follow clues not offered to eyes!" Unimo chirped. "Hear whispers? Notice breeze?"
"Turn right... here!" Ryu smiled.
And, the four travelers turned onto the Platform.
"Felt.. strange! Hai. Almost like water?" Naru said after coming through the wall onto the platform. "Going through something that was there, was not there demo?"
"Welcome to World-of-Magic!" Umino chirped. "Again!"
"Stranger than Goblins!" Naru said. "At least, Goblins are solid!"
"Continue conversation on the train?" Zelgadis offered. "Easier to take notes?"
Three young travelers nodded, and the group-of-four boarded the Hogwarts' Express!
Once the travelers were settled into an otherwise-empty car, Zelgadis continued his tale:
"Amelia is healer dano! Good healer. Again? too much like Phil! Kaasan was born-healer. Amelia inherited healing from Kaasan. Never learned to go slow in healings demo! Too much Phil! Way too much Phil."
Naru offered a sympathetic smile as she dictated the tale.
"How much is too much?" Umino asked, interested in any warnings he could receive, beforehand.
"Just like Butler, to be observant!" Naru softly chortled.
"Amelia no Kowaii!" Zel grinned devilishly, remembering his own run-in with her healings. "She goes from soldier to healer very fast! Goes from inquisitor to healer even faster! Fast as lightningbolt. Leave patients confused! Patients often agree with diagnosis ano treatment out of fear of nurse! I know I did. So did Gourry."
And Ryu sighed to himself. Usagi had written him, and said that exactly was what happened to their Ami-chan.
Yes. He was still Ami's, if she wanted him.
After a few refreshment carts has passed them by, Zelgadis heiled one:
"Does this train serve coffee?"
Four coffees later, Zeldagis Greywords was getting to know about his companions, and, they were getting to know about him!
"You uncle MADE you a Golem?!" Umino tried to keep his voice down. "Why? Does he even LOVE you?!"
"Who knows what Rezo, the Red Priest, likes," Zelgadis groused, "much less, loves? Do not think uncle even KNOWS meaning of word!"
"What of Princess?" Ryo asked with a blush, thinking of his own princess.
"Do not know?" Zelgadis fumbled with his thoughts.
Naru giggled a little over her coffee. Zelgadis was another Umino!
Or, another Mamoru?
Why were boys so unsure of themselves?
"If she is?" Zelgadis slumped his shoulders. "She made a poor choice in lovers."
'So unsure of himself', Naru thought.
"Did Usagi-Sama say who collars are for?" Zelgadis looked at the purse.
"Iie. Did not say. All Usagi wrote was to make one collar of silver and moonstones, ano one of silver and emeralds!"
"Emeralds?" Ryu pondered. "For Jupiter-Sama, maybe."
"Sounds like Seyruun need collar?" Umino tried to whisper.
"NANI-YO?!" Zelgadis yelped!
"GURIO-BAKA!" Naru slapped her boyfriend! "How did you become BUTLER? Such speech is best left between pet and Owner! Hai!"
"Hime-no-Seyruun sounds like she needs hand to calm her demo?" Umino defended his statement.
"True!" Naru nodded in agreement, arms folded against her breasts.. "Talk still left between pet ano Owner demo."
"Hai." Zelgadis sighed as he sipped another coffee. "How can I calm her demo? May not be boyfriend? Phil may not want me to be boyfriend! How can mish-mash monster become boyfriend?"
"Ask Amelia-no-Seyruun?" Umino smiled into his coffee as he looked to Naru.
And, Ryu tried to squelch his laughter, remembering the monster inside himself, and his blue-angel beside him.
"Are you two", Zelgadis eyed Umino and Naru humorously, "husband and wife, yet?"
And Naru and Umino looked at each other, quickly smiled, then blushed and, just as quickly, turned their backs to each other!
"No! Too young!"
"Not yet! Much too young!"
But? They reached their hands to each other's on their side of the birth.
Ryu grinned, and ordered another round of coffee.
That afternoon, a bit past two, the Hogwarts' Express rolled into the magical village of Hogsmead, and the four travelers disembarked
from the Express.
Naru then unfolded Usagi's letter, again:
"Usagi says to follow track out of Hogsmead-Station! Go.. toward setting sun. We will see Hogwarts Castle, in time!"
About an hour later, the quartet were viewing Hogwarts' Castle.
"Would be in the middle of a lake!" Zelgadis grimaced.
"Golem-tachi cannot swim, dano!" Naru softly whined.
"Iyaa. Swim like rock." Zelgadis growled.
"Goshenpainaku!" A cheery male voice responded. "Get gargoyle to school! Hai!"
"Amelia-chan will see her Owner, Hai!" a female voice said.
"Xellos-Sama? Filia-chan?" Zelgadis gaped. "'Owner'?"
Ryu snickered.
"Amelia cries and whines like inouye!" Filia smiled. "Misses her Zel-kun! Hai."
"Filia-miko?" Zelgadis sighed, then grinned. "You have been around Xellos too long!"
"Not long enough!" The dragoness playfully retorted.
"'Xellos'? 'Filia'?" Naru grinned impishly. "Jiisan? Obaasan?"
"Ara! You must be Oosaka Naru-chan!" Filia's eyes lit up like comets! "Magomusume has told us of you! Did magomusume write of us?"
"Hai Hai!" Naru hopped up and down, claping her hands. "She wrote! She wrote! Is Usagi-ane well?"
"She is well! Hai! Busy with pet! Kukuku." Filia chortled.
"Hai." Naru chortled, again. "Remember Ami Snape-Mizuno from long ago! When do we see them?"
"Shortly!" Xellos grinned. "Getting good at sneaking students and friend in and out of baka-school!"
"Come inside!" Xellos said as he and Filia opened up their cloaks. "We will teleport you to Slytherin Tower! Musume and pet can explain plan better than me and Filia. Hai."
With that said, six people proceded to vanish from the lakeshore.
In Slytherin-house, Usagi and Amelia Seraphim were busily going over genealogies and plans for attacking the cancer that the Snape-Mizuno called Albus Dumbledor.
"Good at distroying body! Plan to leave you alone and defenseless, Mistress, here in Slytherin!" Ami fumed. "Plan to decapitate Sailorsenshi in Gryffendoro! Had plan to use what was left-over. Hai."
"Plan did not work, did it," Usagi clucked and smiled, and stretched out her hand to a naked Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape-Mizuno, "My Ami-chan?"
"Iyaa," Ami smiled and rested her chin and cheek again Usagi's offered palm. "It did not! Thanks to Seaence. Learn my place. Learn your place, hai."
"Dumbadoro-baka dig his own grave?" Usagi softly chuckled.
"All we do is watch as he falls into it!" Ami giggled.
It was so enjoyable, watching an enemy fall into his own trap! You never have to do a thing but just watch - and smile sweetly:
Sayonara, Dumbadoro.
"Find links between students in Slytherin and in Gryffendor..", Usagi noted.
"Links between Slytherin no Ravenclaw dano!" Ami sat seductively over, then on, Usagi's bare foot.
"All that if left is to verify links with Huffapuffa!" Usagi smiled. "Then, see who still wants Lunar protection?"
"Hai." Ami softly smiled, so in awe of her Owner. And, Her mind:
'Such a wonderful thing to be lost in!' Ami smiled.
Ami started to slowly slide along Usagi's leg, and moan, when...
"Magomusume!" Filia smiled. "We bring friends to you and Ami-chan! Hai!"
Ami let out an "eep", and proceded to find a sheet to roll-up in!
"Ku! Kukukuku!" Naru chortled. "So much like Mercury! Always having to wait to be alone with Hime-no-Tsuki! Kukuku! So sweet!"
"Chamber-girl?" Ami's face popped out, with a hopeful-smile, from the winding-sheet.
"Naru-chan?" Usagi looked up from her papers.
"NARU!" Two young witches made their ways to Naru and whispered and cried their welcomes, as memories of happier-times came flooding back!
"Konnichi-wa! Hime-no-Tsuki ano Hime-no-Mercury!" Naru wrapped her arms around two old friends and confidents. "How has Hogwarts' treated you, my friends?"
Then, Naru remembered her purse!
"Ara! Who needs collars? I see Ami-chan already has her's? Look like collar of Lunar-king?"
"Hai!" Usagi chirped happily. "Collar-no-Otousan! Symbol of Commander-no-Mizuko! My Second."
"'Second'?" Naru giggled. "Ara, Kaasan no tousan will feel better! Knowing that command has ben given to one most-worthy!" Then, Naru stepped away and bowed, as she kicked off her shoes. "Umino-kun? Would like to introduce you to new-employers! Old-employers!"
Gurio Unimo stepped out of Amelia's cloak, barefoot, and bowed to Usagi and Ami:
"Konnichiwa, gracious maidens!"
"Plot thickens..", Ami grinned.
"Hai!" Usagi giggled. "Like split-pea soup!"
"'The Butler' did it!" Usagi and Ami unisonned and laughed.
"Butler had help, hai." Umino grinned. "Come on out, Knave. Show yourself!"
"I come, o butler!" Another male-voice was heard. "Is Ami-Sama.. presentable?"
"Uwada-kun?" Ami eeped, and unwrapped herself from the sheet.
"Is presentable!" Umino chuckled.
And, Naru giggled softly.
Her boyfriend could be total-hentai, at times..
And? She loved her Hentai. Totally!
"RYU!" Ami streaked into the arms of Ryu as he exited Filia's cloak!
WHOMP!
Soon, a naked and collared Ami was plastered over Uwada Ryu, her arms and legs wound securely around the young man!
"I MISSED you, My Ryu!" Ami squeezed Ryu as hard as her bare arms and legs could, and kissed his smiling face.
"Does second no Usagi-no-Tsuki..", Uwada Ryu breathed out after recovering from Amelia Katherina Seraphim's squeeze and kiss, "still want me?"
"Hai! My silly boy!" Ami then whispered. "Hime says she will share me dano."
Tears of hppiness ran down the cheeks of Uwada Ryu, mixing with those of Ami Snape-Mizuno.
Ryu wrapped the sheet that Ami had wrapped herself in around himself and Ami:
"Snape-Mizuno-chan?" Ryu whispered as he hid themselves, for now. "We have another guest."
"Eep?" Ami finished wrapping her boyfriend and herself.
"Greyword-kun?" Xellos said, "Come and present yourself to our magomusume!"
Zelgadis came out and knelt before Usagi, who was barefoot and clothed in a bedsheet, that looked to all who
saw it like a flowing-gown.
"Ara.." Usagi smiled. "Golem? Zel-kun, maybe? Hime-no-Seyruun has told Ami and me of you!"
"She has?" Zelgadis asked, in a hopeful voice.
"Hai!" Usagi grinned. "Said she had friend who would play 'postman'. All I had to do was bring package to London!"
"Ami-chan?" Usagi asked the wiggly, giggly, softly groaning sheet leaning against the wall. "Send for Amelia-no-Seyrunn, Makoto-chan, ano Hermoine-chan and Harry-kun, onegai?"
A sigh and a small moan of pleasure from the sheet answered Usagi:
"Has been done, O Mistress! Friends are on their way, hai! hihihi."
"Arigatounissai, Ami-imouto!" Usagi smirked. "You may resume your duties."
Giggles and moans could, once more, be heard coming from inside the wound-up sheet.
"Come on in... my Ryu-koi... hihihi..." Ami giggled. "Water is fine."
And, articals of men's clothing could be seen exiting the sheet!
"Easier than trying to hide activities in Gryffenda." Usagi grinned. "No having to use half-of-power to hide joy! Half-power? Means half-joy. Worse than Great Hall! Cannot hide from snoops!"
"Sounds like Slytherin-bred!" Xellos grinned, dangerously.
"Sounds like Mizuko-born." Filia chuckled softly.
"Hai." Xellos' grin grew to a smirk.
Soon, a knock was heard at the door:
"Package for Tsukino?" Makoto asked.
"Come in, Kino-Sama!" Usagi answered. "Packages received! Hai! Pay postman!"
Makoto then ushered in Hermoine and Harry, still clad in their vine-and-leaf swim-trunk and bikini!
Ara.. Where is Amelia Sarephim?" Makoto asked. "Thought she would be.."
"Konnichi.. WA.. Mako-chan!" Ami breathed-out hoarsely from inside the sheet.
Ko.. NNICHI - wa.. Kino-Sama!" Ryu huffed.
Moko raised an eye-brow, the giggled. "Konnichi-wa, Bluebirds!"
Then, Makoto turned back to Harry and Hermione:
"'Tarzan'? 'Jane'?" Makoto teased. "Step forward! Presents are here! Hai."
Hermoine obediently stood before her Mistress:
What is your wish, my Mistress?" Hermoine smiled, shily.
"We shall speak of that, later." Makoto leaned in and licked the inside-rim of Hermoine's ear.
And, Hermoine giggled lightly and squeezed her eyes shut.
"For now?" Makoto cooed and placed Hermoine's neck inside the green collar:
"As promised! Sign of Ownership!"
Hermoine then caressed her new collar, with the stones and ID tag in front, a "K", the symbol of Sagittarius, and an "M"!
The mouse than turned to face her Owner, and kissed her:
"Thank you, My Mistress! I am yours!"
"Did kaasan check you for left-over love-potion?" Ami asked Hermoine from inside her's and Ryu's sheet.
"Love-Potion?" Ryu asked. "Is that stuff legal?"
"She did, and there isn't, Ami-obaa!" Hermoine affirmed. "I am in no way the 'property' of ANY Weasley! And, neither is my Harry!"
Ami purred. "Very good."
"Potter Harry-kun!" Usagi spoke up. "Come forward, and receive your gift!"
Harry stepped forward. "Hai, my Protectoress?"
"Remove moonstones from around your ankle, and give them to me!"
"Hai. Tsukino-Sama!" Harry responded, and dutifully raised his leg and removed the moonstones from around his ankle.
"Good man, Harry-kun!" Usagi smiled and gave them to Naru. "Do chambermaiden and butler have place to stay?"
"Hai!" Naru chirped happily. "Kassan wrote to Tousan, asked to watch over us while we are in Scotland dano!"
"Doko tousan?", Usagi asked with a smile.
"Gamekeeper's hut next to forest! Hai!" Naru grinned.
"Think best-friend act like half-giant!" Usagi giggled. So, from the sheets, did Ami. "In the morning, follow Hagrid-Sama to shack! Take moonstones dano. Introduce Umino, then ask to speak to Ookami living in forest, hai. Umino? Ask to speak to Kyongshi! Hai. Want denizens of forest to feel safe in case of war breaking out! Want forests to be safe-haven for refugees dano."
"Hai, Usagi-hime!" Naru and Umino bowed.
"You, Harry-kun!" Usagi put the Moonstone-and-Silver collar, with a silver quarter moon, around Harry's throat. "Let everyone know you are MY responsibily, now!"
"Thank you, your Highness!" Harry smiled.
"Now! Makoto?" Usagi said crisply. "Pay postman! Hai!"
And, Kino Makoto developed a devious grin, then opened the door:
"Seyruun-Hime?" Makoto called outside the door, "Someone to see you! Hai."
"Yes, Lady Kino?" Then, Amelia Wil Tesla peered into the room:
"Zelgadis-Sama?"
"Konnichi-wa, Amelia-Hime!" Zelgadis smiled shily.
"ZEL-KUN!"
WHOMP!
The shy golem found himself tackled by a "Soldier-of-Justice"!
"I missed you, Zel-kun!" Amelia cried into his chest. "Where have you been?"
Zelgadis Greywords was speechless, as he gently petted a young Sorceress, a healer, on the edge of a breakdown.
'I will need a collar and leash.' The golem smiled warmly as Amelia started to settle down.
"Come, Zel-Kun!" Xellos said with a grin as Zelgadis cradled Amelia. "You and Amelia deserve a room of your own!"
After Xellos and Filia led Zelgadis and Amelia off to another room in Slytherin, Makoto then turned to Usagi:
"I shall return Hermoine and Harry safely to Gryffenda!" Makoto said. "Await next move! Think Lovegood Luna-chan wants to interview My Hermoine ano Your Harry?"
"Quibbler?" Usagi pondered this. "Quibler may interview! ONLY Quibbler! Stay close. Let no one else hear demo!"
Luna Lovegood, Magizoologist-in-traning and reporter-by-instinct, was in the Great Hall, before dinner. She was patiently-awaiting an interview with Harry Potter and Hermoine Granger.
"Ara! Konnichi-wa, Lovegood-chan!" Minako greeted the Quibbler-reporter as she waited by herself near the stairs to Slytherin-Hall, where she had seen Harry and Hermoine following Miss Kino and another woman.
Miss Amelia Will Tesla?
As she spoke, Rei slid in on the other side of Lovegood. "What are you waiting for?"
"I have a few questions, Sailorsenshi," Luna spoke low, so - she hoped - only Minako would hear her.
"Questions - why? Quibbler?" Rei asked in a whispered-purr, almost making Luna jump!
"To.. satisfy my curiosity?" Luna meeped as she tried to get her heartbeat under control. "To.. calm.. my fears?"
"Fears of..?" Minako asked, teasingly.
Minako started caressing Luna's thigh under the table.
"Falling.. into.. a trap?" Luna breathed out.
"Whose trap?" Rei whispered seductively into Luna's ear. Then, she ran her tonguetip just inside the ear-rim, and
blew against it.
Luna tried to save her suddenly-ticklish ear from a full-blown assault!
"I.. I.. I.. don't.. know?" Luna whimpered. "Miss Ami started acting strangely... then, Miss Hermoine started Acting strangely... then, Lord Harry started acting strangely! And, now? I am Luna Lovegood, of the Ottery St. Catchpole! And? I must know what is happening?"
"Ara.. here comes Harry-kun ano Hermi-chan with Makoto back from Slytherin!" Minako smiled. "Maybe, reporter ask questions in Gryffendoro? Maybe?"
"Maybe I shall?" Luna guessed. "If I can get inside to talk with them?"
"Will reporter share with other paper?" Minako asked. "With 'Prophet'?"
"Usagi doesn't trust 'the Prophet'!" Luna said. "My father has never trusted 'The Prophet'! I CANNOT trust 'The Prophet'! All they do is trumpet the magnificence of the Ministry of Magic! The tail wagging the bleeding dragon!"
"Hai!" Minako smiled. "Follow Rei and me, then! Maybe, we can get Mako-chan to allow interview?"
Rei then slowly got up from the table, caressed Luna's thigh and hip getting up, and joined Minako with a wink and a smile. "Hai. Follow us. Maybe?"
Slowly, as a puppy on a leash, Luna followed the hypotic-advice of Minako and Rei. Even copying the way Rei walked.
"Lemondrops!" Rei confidently whispered the password into Gryffendor's Common Hall, and led Luna into the Girl's Dorm!
"How was Usa-ane?" Rei whispered to Makoto.
"Good! Planning next moves with Ami-chan?" Makoto answered. "I think?"
"'Think'?" Rei blinked. "Why 'Think'?"
"Because Usa-ane gave Ami-chan time-off with Ryu-kun! Ku-kuku!" Makoto chortled.
"Ryu-kun?" Rei blinked, again. "Why is Ryu-kun here?"
"Help Naru-chan ano Umino-kun get here? I think?" Makoto thought.
"'Get here'?" Rei asked. "Why?"
Makoto smiled and picked up the string of jade stones Hermoine had been wearing. "These are why!"
Rei beamed. "Hermi-chan finally wears collar!"
"Harry-kun wears Usagi's dano!" Makoto chuckled. "Harry's future? Hermoine's future? Now? Our future! Hai! Quibbler wants to ask questions of Harry ano Hermoine?"
"Hai." Rei responded. "See Granger-chan follow you like inouye. Than, see Harry-kun become part of us! Wants to know 'Why?'. Think best way is to interview slave-boy ano slave-girl? Maybe.. become.. slave-girl? Hai?"
"You look for new play-toy, Rei-chan?" Makoto hissed through a wicked grin! "Mina-chan look for new-toy? Hentai! Kukukukuku."
"Iyaa." Rei replied. "Imouto, demo?"
"Imouto?" Makoto chortled. "You ano Mina-chan are so bad!"
"We? Bad?" Rei gaped. "HOW did you steal best-friend from Weasel-chan?! Good claim! By the way."
"Took wand from her." Makoto said.
"Took.. wand away?" Rei asked.
"Saw me practice Karate!" Makoto smiled.
"How many times she lose stick?" Rei asked Makoto conspiritorially.
"In five minutes?" Makoto remembered. "150 times! Hai."
"Never could concentrate?" Rei tried not to giggle.
"Iyaa." Makoto smiled. "Learn, afterward, that Usagi send back-up if I get in trouble."
"Sound like Aneue!" Rei smiled. "What hapened, next?"
"Explained, from what I remember, why we and Aneue act like sisters! Been by me ever since!"
"Reporter want Harry-kun ano Hermi-chan to try to vouch for story? Maybe?" Rei asked.
"Maybe." Makoto pondered. "Need to talk to Ami demo! First Senshi in Lunar-Court? I tell reporter what Ami told me! What I REMEMBER she told me! Was not much demo?"
"Must be painful." Rei sighed as Makoto nodded. "Ami-chan always want to protect Usa-ane, I think!"
"So? You asked Usagi for her protection, Harry?" Luna asked.
"I did, Miss Lovegood!" Harry responded. "Because the ones who promised they would be there for me, were not there!"
"What about Headmaster Dumbledore?" Luna asked skeptically.
"One of the first who weren't there to beleive me!" Harry sighed.
Hermoine, hearing this, again, wrapped her legs and arms into Harry's body and pulled him deeper into her:
"Well? I'm here, now, my Lord, Harry!"
'Like a house-elf!' Luna giggled.
"What about the Weasleys of the Burrow, Lord Harry?" Luna asked.
"You mean the children of Mollie Pruitt?" Harry scoffed. "They only want you for what they can get from you!"
"Then, the Prewitt-things throw you away!" Hermoine growled at her memories of Ronald.
'How Dad said the Malfoys talked about the Prewitts.' Luna remembered her father's warnings.
"How are the Senshi different?" Luna asked. "How is Usagi-chan different?"
"The Senshi have learned from their leader, I think?" Harry said. "Usagi knew - some time in the past, I think, what it was like to be alone?"
"Totally alone, if I have heard my Mother-Goddess, rightly?" Hermoine lightly licked and kissed Harry's ear. "You will have to ask Lady Mercury for the whole story, about that, Lady Luna! Lady Jupiter heard the story from her!"
"Thank you, Lady Hermoine!" Luna bowed. "Take good care of Lord Harry!"
As she turned around, she ran into Rei and Minako:
"Where goes the reporter, now?" Minako caressed Luna's face.
"I.. I need to.. talk.. to Amelia Katherine.. ah.. Ami.. Ami-chan?" Luna stuttered, suddenly unsure of herself, and what she really wanted!
She wanted a sister, dammit!
"Iiede. Ami-chan not here, yet! Maybe here for breakfast?" Rei's violet eyes stared into Luna's and caressed her nipples. "Maybe.. Luna-chan.. stay for breakfast?"
"May.. be.. Maybe..?" Luna stuttered.
Why was she stuttering? She never remembered stuttering, before! Stuttering was only for the flustered!
Luna Lovegood was never flustered!
Was she?
"Maybe, Luna-chan stay with us?" Minako piped-up as her fingernails danced up and down Lovegood's spine. "Stay, just one night?"
'Damnit!' Luna chewed your bottom-lip. 'These girls are DANGEROUSLY contageous!'
"Well.. " Luna whined a little. "No one in Ravenclaw will, really, miss me. I AM a bit odd. Off-center, even for a witch?"
"Luna not worry," Rei softly whispered into Luna's ear seductively. "We are all odd, us Senshi, us sisters."
"Do not worry." Minako whispered in her other ear. "Usa-ane like weird sisters. Hai."
Luna stayed up into the wee hours, listening to Rei and Minako, and their stories of Tsukino Usagi.
And? She fought off an urge to laugh so hard she awoke the whole dorm-room!
The next morning, at breakfast, Luna Lovegood sat with bowl of oatmeal, a 4-cup mug of coffee, and a diary with her notes on Tsukino Usagi from her girls, in Goblin!
She had also forgotten her shoes, somewhere?
"So? Reporter wants to talk to me?" Luna Lovegood heard the sweetest-birdcall to tickle her ears float her way.
Luna looked up across from her - into the bluest of eyes searching into hers!
'I do, Ami, daughter of Severus.' Luna signed. 'Not here. People might hear who do not need to hear. Not yet.'
Ami smiled and nodded, and pointed: Potions? Or, Hospital-Wing?
Thirty minutes later, in the Hospital-Wing, and under a Silencia-Spell, Luna Lovegood started her interview with Ami Snape-Mizuno.
"I LOVE that you took the notes in Goblin!" Ami chirped. "Not many know it!"
"That's why I use it, Ms. Snape!" Luna giggled. "To even the most-ancient of wizards? It's incypherable!"
"That is good!" Ami smiled. She liked this women's thinking! "So? Senshi said you asked sbout Princess Usagi of Moon?"
"Yes." Luna got right to the point. "Master Potter, and Lady Granger, were adopted by the Senshi! Master Potter by the Lady Usagi, herself! Harry said it was because she felt Harry had no family watching out for him, and Lady Granger said that Lady Jupiter told her that Lady Usagi has seen the Senshi as her sisters for longer than they have been born! Can this be true? And? If true? How can this be true?"
"Old story." Ami sniffed. "Sad story. One-thousand years ago, Usagi Tsukino was Princess of Luna, and Heir to The Silver Millenium of Planets and Moons! Usagi was second-child, only-Heir demo! Aniki no Usagi died after father, before he reached age-of-inheritance demo. When Usagi was made heir? Was given future-court to grow up with! As aniki was chosen as Prince-no-Mercury to be future-courtier? I came along! Be sister to Princess. Hai! Saw death, demo. Saw Usagi's father die! Then.. see my and Usagi's aniki die in accident! Never get over it! Usagi never get over it. Double-loss for her! Hai. Always want to remember Tousan ano Aniki! Always.
"I was refugee-on-Moon! Lost family. Usagi become family! Be aneue, be friend. Be kaasan, when needed. Needed alot. Even now, when family is back together! Miss aneue!"
Luna found herself cradling a shaking, sobbing Senshi.
The Sailorsenshi, Lovegood started to think, were exactly the sisters she was seaching for!
After the second class of the day, a barefoot Luna could be seen carrying - almost cradling - a weary Amelia Katherina Seraphim into Potions' Class. With predictable-results:
"Amelia Seraphim!"
"Ami-chan!"
"Ami-chan!"
"Ami-chan!"
"Lovegood?!" Snape all but screamed out his demand! "Sit my daughter at her table! What in the seven hells has happened to my angel?!"
"I'm afraid I helped put her in this state, Professor Snape!" Luna bowed to the Potions' Master. "I had a question on my mind last night that, it turned out, no one in Gryffendor could answer but Miss Ami! So? This morning at breakfast we met for an interview, and? She started breaking-down while we were talking!"
At hearing this, Tsukino Usagi, Aino Minako, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto, Xellos Mizuko, Filia Ul Copt, Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger, Amelia Wil Tesla, and Lina Inverse all gathered around the stricken Bluebird of Gryffendor!
Still standing sentry over Ami, Luna continued her report to the Professor as Usagi looked with understanding and concern from Luna to Her Ami, and then back to Luna.
"Miss Ami made it through her second class, somhow, but stumbled and fell on her way here! I was able to pick her up off the floor, as she was already well-away from her sisters, and - first - thought of taking her to the Hospital Wing! But? Ami mumbled that she'd prefer to come here? To not be late for class and disappoint you and Doctor Mizuno? Or, is it Nurse Mizuno?"
Serevus chuckled. "My wife is a Doctor, and a very good one, although the fools in Tokyo just use her as a nurse. And? Saeko would agree with your observation that our blue-angel is TERRIFIED of missing lessons!"
As Ron was about to say something, Usagi shot him a death-glare and hissed:
"Not one word, Weasel, to hurt My Ami-chan! Or? I will curse you into mindless worm!"
Lina chuckled low: "Worms need proper home!"
As Luna stood next to Ami, Minako slid a note across the table:
"Shoes are being held hostage. Ransome is one more night with me and Rei! Kisses and Hugs."
Luna Lovegood folded the note, stuck it to the inside rim of her hat.. and smiled.
