Chapter 14:

The next Monday morning, Harry and Hermoine were busy going over their preparations for the first classes of the morning, and looking after each other, when Ron and Ginnie Weasley came storming over to their seats:

"And, WHAT, by Merlin's beard, are you doing with HIM?!" Ronald demanded hotly of Heroine, threatening to pull his wand.

"And, just WHAT are you doing with HER?" Ginerva demanded of Harry, already aiming her wand.

"Trying to study.. MASTER Ronald." Heroine grinned and spoke like a house-elf.

"Reading with my girlfriend, LADY Ginerva." Harry said as cheerfully as he could pull off.

"But.. but.. Harold James Potter.. You belong to ME!" Ginnie almost screamed as her eyes grew wild.

"And, you belong to ME," Ronald growled out low, "Hermoine Jean Granger!"

"And just who GAVE us to you?" Hermoine's eyes flared as she growled. "Without our CONSENT?"

"DUMBLEDOR!" The redheads shouted in unison.

And, from the High-Table, Albus Dumbledor smugly grinned. He was still the Head-Mugwump! The Worlock-in-Charge! What he said still carried the weigh of the gods!

"And? Since WHEN was it made legal, again, for witches and wizards to be traded like cattle?" Harry calmly asked the red-headed brother and sister.

And, Dumbledor started to fidget, as the High-Table started to murmer!

Maybe.. just, maybe.. Dumbledor did not speak for the gods-of-magic after all?

Dumbledor scoffed! What a preposterous notion!

The assemblage of Witches and Wizards at the High-Table began to stare accusingly at Albus, and Sybil Trelawney - the usual chatter-box - was strangely-silent!

Then, wands still drawn, the Weasleys pulled two vials from their robes, and empties their contents into Harry's and Hermoine's goblets, then defiently sat back down.

And Harry's and Hermoine's morning-juices clouded to a different color!

Then, Harry and Hermoine countered, cirling their own drawn-wands over the goblets, and whispering a counter-spell:

"Nullificare!"

And the goblets of juice began to clear!

Then, Harry and Hermoine took their goblets and toasted the brother and sister with the remedied-drinks:

"I drink to your health, Ron!" Harry grinned.

"And, your sanity, Ginnie!" Hermoine smiled sweetly.

"While it lasts!" Harry and Hermoine chorused, then drank down the juices!

The weasleys waited, for fifteen minutes, for the effects of the potion to take effect. And, when it didn't, they scowled and stomped back to their rooms!

"I wonder what that was about?" Usagi wondered, worried about Harry and Hermoine.

"Whatever it was," Draco Malfoy told Usagi, "my dear cousins are not happy about it."

At lunch, Draco listend in as Harry reported what happened that morning to Usagi.

"I want to TERIYAKI Weasels, hai!" Makoto glowered to Usagi. "Hermoine-chan just told me what happened this morning!"

"Goshenpainaku, Mako-chan!" Usagi tried to calm the Jovian-giantess. "Weaseli-plan backfired! Harry-kun reported what happened! Potion was nullified. Joji are safe."

"But, for how long, your Highness?" Draco spoke low to Usagi. "'Saints' RONALD and GINERVA take TOO MUCH after the Pruitts, and not enough after the Weasleys! Arthur's a bit of an odd one, even for a wizard, but he is a good man. And, comes from a good family! The same, however, cannot be said about the Pruitts. And? If a love-potion WAS involved? I'd wager 1000 crowns that Mollie is involved! She, more than likely, brewed it, herself, and gave that POISON to her dear children to give to your , if that IS the case? THEN my - cousins - will be more than will to attack, again! Probably with a double-dosage."

"That is case, in nutshell!" Ami chirped. "Have plan to crack nutshell demo! All I need is right conspirator! Eyes on Harry-kun, Hermi-chan, and Weasel-Baka!"

The remainder of the school-day saw the Sailorsenshi and their allies watching their assigned-tergets. And? The watch was kept into the night!

The next morning, Usagi was on watch in the Great Hall during breakfast, communicating telepathically with Makoto:

'Ara.. how were wards night night?' Usagi asked.

'Good! Good!' Makoto replied. 'Spent night in Common-Room under spell-of-concealment! Hai. Get needed rest!'

'Nani-yo Weasel-baka?!' Usagi's thoughts grew dark and quiet.

'Rei and Minako report that baka were communing with Kaasan all night and morning! Said she had to calm down Mina-chan to keep Mama-Weasel alive!'

'Hino ano Aino reporting for duty!' Rei's thoughts rang into Usagi's mind. "Doko Snape-Mizuno?'

'I am here!' Amelia Katherina Seraphim giggled lightly. 'Glad Hino-Hime remembered my full family-name! Usagi-Hime? Found Amelia Wil Tesla last night! Carefully formed out plan to deal with Weasel-baka! Good thing, we need nothing extra to make plan work. Iyaa. We just let weasels be Pruitts! Harry-kun no Hermi-chan know what parts they play. Kukukukuku!"

A few minutes later, Harry and Hermoine came to the Great Hall, cleaned-up and ready for breakfast, sitting apart from the other Gryffendors.

And? From uner the Gryffendor table, Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape-Mizuno and Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruuun withdraw their wands, ready to strike.

The trap was ready to be sprung.

Soon, thereafter, two redheaded-geese came to land - as graceful as the albatrosses they actually were - next to Harry and Hermoine:

"You made FOOLS of us, yesterday!" Weasel Ronald growled.

"But, today?" Weasel Ginnie hissed, "You'll learn you PROPER place!"

Then, as sneakily as they could, the siblings put TWO vials of potion into Harry's and Hermoine's goblets!

Then? The Amelias started to play "chess":

Amelia Katherina Seraphim started the game, aiming at Harry's goblet:

"King's Knight - to Queen's Bishop - reverso!" She breathed out.

Two goblets diappeared, only to reappear.

Then, it was Amelia Wil Tesla's move, taking careful aim at Hermoine's goblet:

"Queen's Knight - to King's Bishop - reverso!"

And? Again? Two goblets disappeared, only to reappear!

Then, the snipers returned to the safety of their nest, slowly appearing at their table among friends!

All that was needed now was time.. and the legendary Weasley appetite!

Some? Brother and sister were digging into their eggs and bacon and sausages. And? Of course, drinks!

Five minutes later, brother and sister were on top of the Gryffendor table, stripped naked and going after each other like rabbits! And? Squealing like rabbits!

Much to the dirision and sneers of the assembled students and teachers!

"Oh! My Harry!" Hermoine trembled and cried. "That could have been us!"

"Would have been," Harry stared, wide-eyed, "if they'd had their way!"

"Severu?" Saeko said to her ex-husband. "I can smell it! I can feel it! Potta and Ga-ranja are going into SHOCK! Need to get them to Nurse's Office!"

"Then do so, my Saeko!" Severus said, "And, be as quick as a thought!"

"Hai, Koibito!" Saeko replied. "It shall be as you say!"

"Albus Dumbledor, you old Fool..", Severus grinned and chuckled as he followed his Saeko, "Howsoever will you dig yourself out of this grave?"

'I'm so sorry, Mollie, my friend,' Dumbledor thought, 'but? I see no way of explaining this to the Wizengamot! You will have to face Abkazan.'

At that moment, Neville Longbottom was checking on Harry and Hermoine:

"Harry, man! How are you and Hermoine? What in Hades did the Weasleys try to do to you?"

"Ambush us with love-potions, Neville." Harry answered, with cold contempt in his voice for the brother and sister still enjoying themselves.

"It seems to have backfired on them?" Neville commented as two nurses moved in to check on Herry and Hermoine. "Didn't they know Dumbledor was watching? Wouldn't hehave to report it to the Aurors?"

"Dumbledor wouldn't do anything!" Hermoine spat out from where she cuddled into Harry for protection. "Probably gave his approval to this ambush! Say poisoning was 'accidental', if he said anything?!"

"Grandmum will give someone a stroke for this!" Neville grinned. "She hates all sorts of mind-control! Especially love-potions. Harry? Hermoine? What do you want me do to?"

"For now, my Lord Longbottom?" Hermoine whispered her reply. "Go and ask Lady Tsukino and her Court where you may safely move your things into House-Slytherin! As soon as possible."

"Sure thing, Hermoine!" Neville answered. "But? Why?"

"Do you see that rad-headed witchling in Slytherin? The one with the burning eyes?" Harry pointed to Lina Inverse. "She's why! And? You best warn our friends to leave the tower! I'm not sure? But, I think Minerva McGonigall's being warned, now?"

Neville then bowed to Harry, Hemoine, and the nurses, telling them he would check on them, at lunch, then made his way to the Slytherin-table.

Meanhile, Dumbledor was making his way to Gryffendor-Tower, under the observant eyes of Lina Inverse.

"Ah! Kyongshi returns to coffin!" Lina Inverse mused. "Tower holds sanctuary? Source-of-Power, maybe? Time to - rebuild - tower!"

"Dumbadoro-Baka cradles wand!" Xellos grinned. "Maybe thinks Headmaster's Office is no longer safe-enough to keep cursed-wand?"

"Wand is cursed?" Amelia Wil Tesla asked Xellos.

"Hai! Wand is cursed." Filia answered. "Ask Death-Eaters why Dumbadoro is their enemy? They tell me of Baka and of wand! Then? I read up on wand. Soaks up magic from all who use it! Dark-magic, especially! Very dark! Not only soaks up magic like sponge? Feeds magics to those who inherit and use wand! More it is used? Blacker it becomes!" crave it!"

"So?" Zelgadis chuckled, "Baka has been poisoning himself!"

"Should be dead, already!" Filia looked at Gryffendor Tower in disgust. "Why Baka steals fame! Needs life-force."

"Reason Tower must come down. Hai." Lina growled. "Stone by stone. To dust!"

At dinner, Neville met up with Harry, Hermoine, Makoto, Amelia Katherina Seraphim, Usagi, and Luna.

"Well? All my things are moved in with Draco's for now!" Neville said. "He, actaully, seems a fair-enough chap? Once you get him away from the crowd?"

"Well?" Hermoine said, "'The crowd' DOES kowtow to Draco's father, a bit? Draco does seem to be sufficated by the man?"

"I actually found myself feeling sorry for Draco, a year back!" Harry said. "Imagine? Being caught between Lucius Malfoy and Albus Dumbledor!"

"It's amazing," Draco said, "What getting away from - certain people - can do to clear a person's vision? Even Madame McGonigall?"

"That's the truth times two!" Neville commented. "Well? We'd best get back to Gryfendor, to make sure everybody is there that should be there."

"Then?" Hermoine snickered. "Run, like the Devil was after you, to safety?"

And, every Slytherin who heard them snickered!

An hour later, after scouring the tower to warn friends - while avoiding Albus Dumbledore - the conspirators were entering Hufflepuff's common-room when

they heard a chant from outside:
