[PART TWO]

THE SATELLITE OF LOVE

“Well, that certainly was… interesting,” said Hermione as the group left the theater. “I hope you guys don’t have to do that kind of thing a lot.”

“You have no idea,” Sakura began.

“Well, at least now we can finally all get off this damn satellite,” Kero said cheerfully rushing over to the panel and tapping it in hopes of opening the gate to Diagon Alley.

“How are we supposed to get back to Tomoeda from London, though?” Tomoyo asked.

“We can worry about that when we get there, Daidouji,” said Syaoran. “But we’d better get Meiling and Yue and pack fast before we’re called back into the theater.”

“Dammit!” Kero growled hitting the panel. “Why won’t it OPEN?!”

“Maybe you don’t have the right spot,” Hermione suggested.

Just then, the console light flashed. “Drop it, guys!” Sakura called out. “Kanako Urashima and Kuro are calling again!” She game the button a smack.

DEEP 13

“Kanako Urashima, hm?” An evil glint came to Ruby Moon’s eyes and a mischievous smirk to her lips.

“Please don’t give her any ideas!” Spinel Sun called out.

“Quiet, Suppi!” Ruby Moon snapped. “Thought you could get away on us, huh? Well, we’ve known all about your little guest and how she got there. We’ve sealed off the portal.”

“You mean… I’M STUCK HERE?!” Hermione screamed.

“Calm down, Granger,” said Spinel Sun. “We plan on letting you go after the experiment.”

“As soon as we find a way to do it without letting the others go,” Ruby Moon added. “In the meantime, there’ a LOT more fanfic to read! Ta-ta!”

Ruby Moon smacked the button cutting the transmission.

THE SATELLITE OF LOVE

“This is not good,” Hermione began.

“You’re telling me,” Tomoyo muttered.

Suddenly, alarms and sirens rang out.

“OHHHH, WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!!!” Sakura cried out.

(Door 6: It shatters like glass.)

(Door 5: It’s made of ofudas. Syaoran recites an incantation and they burn away.)

(Door 4: It’s made of bars. They rise into the ceiling.)

(Door 3: It’s made of sleeping plushies. They suddenly wake up and scamper away.)

(Door 2: It’s a set of elevator doors. They open with a ‘ping’ sound.)

(Door 1: It’s a trap door. You fall through it.)

(Door .7: The camera pans downward where a giant vault door starts to open. A sudden rush of air sucks you through.)

Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Hermione and Kero-Chan fall through the vault door and land in their seats while Kero-Chan floats overhead.

>Author note: All right I'll start adding the meaning of words in parenthesis, k? Doji is just another way of saying, 'idiot' or whatever.

Syaoran: It means both?

Tomoyo:<Madison Taylor> Do-jiiiiii!

>There's really no direct translation, it's like baka…but worse, get it? ^^; I made this chapter long! ahaha! I think...

Hermione:<author> It might also be short. I wasn’t really paying attention.

>Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter or Sailor Moon. Etc. look back to other chapters for more info if you're that bored.

Kero:<author> Bitch to the hand, you loads.

>HOTARU GOES TO HOGWARTS
>CHAPTER FIVE
>BY:
>Vale (Saturn Angels)

Kero: Next: Transfiguration!

Sakura:<Prof. McGonagall> Amazing! Hotaru just transfigured her robes into a sailor fuku!

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Awww… It was nothing.

>"I can't believe she left me here!" Dream yelled angrily as she stalked back over to Ron, Harry, and Hermione, "How could she do that? On the first day too!"

Hermione: And this concerns us how?

>Dream pouted then looked around, "Even Draco left Crabbe and Goyle behind...something's not right," Dream pouted in a very three-year old way, "Man, I >would at least feel better if she was with one of the other Slytherins just NOT Malfoy…"

Kero: As it was, Dream was already planning Malfoy’s gruesome demise.

>Ron only nodded as Dream continued to whine about how unfair the world was, you make a friend and lose her to your worst enemy.

Tomoyo:<Dream> Traitorous bitch!

Sakura: Tomoyo-chan!

Hermione:<Dream> Story of my life…

>"Dream, calm down," Hermione said as they continued walking, "This is where we split up and I don't want you to keep talking to yourself while you walk alone"

Tomoyo: Yeah. People might think she was crazy or something. Can’t have that.

>"Okay, and I already knew that," she said smiling, "I guess I'll see you…next class we have together"

Syaoran: Dream: Graduate of The Shatner Acting Academy

>The trio nodded and walked in the opposite direction back to the Gryffindor Common Room, while Dream walked separately back to Slytherin Common Room. >She looked around as she kept walking, "Y'know what? I don't think the Gryffindors are all that bad," she said to thin air then smiled a bit and ran the rest of the >way there, unknowing that in the shadows someone was watching her.

Syaoran:<imitates ominous music>

Tomoyo: The Shadow knows…

Kero: Ironically, it was the same shadowy figure from “To Find My Dad And Have A Family”.

>When Dream got back to Slytherin Common Room, after stumbling to remember the password a couple times, she trudged to where Hotaru was, "Hotaru! You >left me there!"

Sakura:<Hotaru> Where?

Hermione:<Dream> There!

>Hotaru looked up from what she was writing, "You found your way back didn't you"

Kero: Ouch!

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Talk to the hand.

>"Well…yeah, but that's not the point! Point is you're supposed to stick with your friend, and not go off with Malfoy without consulting that friend"

Syaoran: Oookay…

Sakura:<Dream> You’re supposed to consult me on EVERYTHING! I rule your life!

>"I suppose that friend would be you?"

Kero: Geez… What’s with the animosity here, Tomoe?

>"Yes! Of course it would be me, I mean what other friend do you have?"
>
>"Those three Gryffindors: Harry, Hermione, and Ron and...that's all"

Syaoran:<Christopher Plummer> There isn’t any more.

Hermione: But she hasn’t even talked to us yet!

Sakura: Actually, she did. For maybe two minutes.

>"...What were you doing with Malfoy anyway?" Dream asked changing the subject quickly, "You better not have been flirting!"

Sakura:<Dream>You’re too young to be dating, young lady!

>Hotaru sighed and rolled her eyes, "You're acting like Michiru-mama, and no I wasn't flirting I was cursing at him in Japanese"

Kero:<Hotaru> I called him baka, gaki, kaijuu and the ultimate one…

All: Chibi-Usa!

>Dream smiled with an approving nod, "Good! That's better, at least I know I was ditched," she stressed the word ditched, "For a good cause"

Hermione: Of course, if you had ditched her to shove him down the stairs it would have been a better cause.

>Hotaru smiled a bit and went back to what she was writing.

Tomoyo:<looking over Hotaru’s shoulder>Hey! She’s writing a fanfic, guys!

>Dream sighed and started her Potions homework...extra homework that is.

Syaoran: Snape gave extra homework to a Slytherin? Is he feeling okay?

>Marissa entered the room sulkily muttering things about how bad her day had gone, "I hope tomorrow will be better. Yes, tomorrow will be better," she said with >a long sigh as she went off to go to sleep.

Kero:<Marissa a la Dustin Hoffman>Yeah. Definitely tomorrow. Sixty-three books. Yeah. Definitely sixty-three books…

>Dream stared at her, "Now I know why Hermione didn't want me talking to myself…it's awfully weird to listen to…"

Hermione:<Dream> Although not as weird as the sound of Ozzy Osbourne speaking period.

>Hotaru shrugged, "In the Muggle world we call them Schizophrenics, though they usually have split-personalities, and hear voices in their head…some go crazy"

Kero: And some of them already are.

Syaoran: Split-personalities and voices and they’re still not considered crazy?

Tomoyo:<Hotaru>And I should know about hearing voices.

>"They hear voices in their head?" exclaimed Marissa curiously,

All: GAH!!

Sakura: I thought she was supposed to be asleep.

>"I have that sometimes! But only when Lord Volde-" her eyes widened as she changed what she was about to say, "I mean, only when I'm sleeping! Yes…that's >it…when I'm sleeping." Once again she went off to go to sleep.

Tomoyo: Wow! What smooth exposition, huh?

Kero: I’d never guess that there was important plot information just being tossed around.

>"Strange girl," Dream commented.

Hermione: And apparently a very light sleeper.

>"Very strange," Hotaru nodded in agreement, "But I too am tired, I think I'll be going to bed. Good night Dream"

Syaoran: I guess they really do just have one class a day.

Tomoyo: Who knew?

>"All right, good night Firefly," Dream said as she walked over to her own bed.

Kero: The hell?

Sakura:<Dream> Firefly is my imaginary friend! Although she won’t shut up about this Hank guy.

>"Good night Dream, wait did you just call me Firefly?"

Tomoyo: Hotaru seems a tad slow on the uptick, ne?

Kero:<Dream> No, I called you Sugar Bumps.

Sakura: Kero…

>"Yeah, it's easier to say then Hotaru. So, g'night"

Syaoran: Wha--? So what? She’s Tamayo Mizaki now?

Kero: Good. Maybe she’ll clothesline Draco and start putting him in headlocks.

Hermione:<Dream a la Tamayo>Hotaru-chaaaaaaan!!

>"Night…" Hotaru shrugged and went to sleep as the prefect turned off the lights.

Sakura: Suddenly, a shot rang out! A maid screamed!

Kero:<imitates ominous music>

>The next morning things went pretty much the same as they had before, only this time Dream was the one who got a letter.

Tomoyo: Second verse! Same as the first!

>"What's it say?" Hotaru asked as she continued spreading butter on her toast.
>

>"It says:

Sakura:<letter> Dear Mr. Detective, Tonight I will steal the phoenix from Dumbledore’s office. –Saint Tail.

Hermione: Wrong address. Is Asuka Jr. in the house?

Syaoran:<Asuka Jr.> This time I will capture her!

Sakura:<Saint Tail> Catch me if you can!

Kero: Don’t start, you two. This fic is tough enough without you two WAFFing on us.

>Hey Yume!
>
>How's school going? You haven't blown up the potions room yet, have you?

Kero:<letter> Well, you’d better have that room reduced to rubble soon, young lady!

>I don't want you getting into any more trouble! Now go on and eat as much as you want! I miss you!

Hermione:<letter> And you’ll be much harder to miss if you’re fat,

Kero: Zing!

>-Mom
>
>P.S. You are brushing up on your Japanese aren't you? I'll test you! What does dozzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu, mean?"

Tomoyo:<singing> Domo Arigato, Mrs. Anderson.

Sakura: Nah… Doesn’t fit.

>Dream read it out loud and sweatdropped, and replied saying 'No I haven't gotten into any trouble, I've been a perfect little angel…for now.' Then turned to >Hotaru, "What's dozzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu mean?"
>
>"It means pleased to meet you," Hotaru replied sweatdropping.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Just don’t go thinking I *meant* that.

>"K, thanks," So now her reply read: 'No I haven't gotten into any trouble, I've been a perfect little angel…for now. I miss you too. And dozzo yoroshiku >onegaishimasu means…pleased to meet you! See I am brushing up on my Japanese! Talk to you later mom! I have to go to Divination! Bai (Bye)!' she sent the >reply with her snow-white owl, whom was named Snow White, and went back to eating.

Syaoran: Yeah. Brushing up on your Japanese is easy when you can cheat.

Tomoyo: What are you talking about? Sakura helped you with *your* Japanese.

Tomoyo: You *were* studying Japanese, weren’t you?

Sakura: No comment.

>Hotaru also got a letter, from Haruka it read:
>
>'Hotaru, wassssup!

Kero: Dear God! Martin Lawrence jokes!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

>Ok Sorry, Michi just hit me over the head for writing that.

Syaoran: So she should have.

>But you'll never ever, ever guess what's gonna happen today in Divination class, yes that's right I know your schedule, you'll never guess!

Tomoyo: Ooh… Subtle.

Sakura:<Haruka> Unless you were paying attention during the last letter when we said we’d see you soon, which was as subtle as we could get.

Kero: Hmmmm… Divination… Outer Senshi… Gee, I wonder what it could be?

>But since you'll never guess and I'll never tell you, you won't know until you get there! Haha, this whole letter was a waste of time!

Hermione: Just another bit of plot exposition to pad the fic.

Sakura: Well, at least she’s up front about it.

>Ouch…Michi just hit me over he head again! I'm so mistreated (x_x)-my face.

Syaoran: Somehow I just can’t see emoticons working well on parchment.

>Ok, Michi wants me to say, 'we'll see you soon' so. We'll see ya soon Taru-chan! Peace out!

Tomoyo:<Haruka> Who ‘da senshi, baby!

>Ouch…stop the violence Michi! Heehee, well we will see you soon! Ja ne!
>
>-Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna'
>
>Dream sweatdropped, "They get weirder and weirder every letter…can't wait to meet them!

Hermione:<Dream> Bizarre, possibly insane people intrigue me.

Kero: Just wait ‘til she meets the Sailor Stars.

>And now I'm curious what's going to happen in Divinations!"
>
>Hotaru nodded, "Me too…" then she thought of a reply she could send 'Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna nice to hear from you so often, I'm curious about >divinations class now. I'll talk to you guys later. And Michiru, be nicer to Haruka you're setting a bad example ^_^'

Hermione: Mine’s cuter. (^-^)

Kero: Very weird. (*_*)

Tomoyo: Look at me, I’m rich. ($_$)

Syaoran: Hoo boy… (~_~;)

>she sent the letter off with her owl then turned to Dream, "Ready to go?"
>
>"Yup." Dream answered and they set off for Divinations. They reached the class and walked in ahead of a few other students, they sat by each other and waited >for the teacher to walk in and begin the class, but once everyone was comfortably seated everyone was in for a shock.

Sakura: BZZZZZZZZT!!

Tomoyo: Someone had placed Electrifying Charms on all the chairs.

>The figure that approached them from the shadows was definitely not their usual teacher (A/N: …forgot her name!!!

Hermione: Oh, you mean Professor Trelawney?

Kero: You know, it would help to look these things up *before* you start writing.

>Oh by the way, they're in their 6 year. Just to make it clear again 6 year. k?)

Syaoran: The hell?! At the beginning of the fic it was fifth year, then it was fourth, now it’s sixth.

Sakura: This is getting very confusing.

>instead in their usual teacher's place was a tall tan-skinned woman, definitely younger then their other teacher (little do they know…ahaha) with long green hair and >garnet eyes. Hotaru gasped as she realized who it was and had to fight the urge to not run up to their new teacher and hug her.

Hermione:<Hotaru> Setsuna-chaaaaaaan!!

>"Hello." The woman greeted kindly with a small bow, "I'm afraid your former teacher was fired for being a fraud…as I'm sure you could all tell she had no clue >what she was doing. So, I am your new Divinations teacher…"

Kero: Whoa! Harsh!

Tomoyo: Even Trelawney didn’t deserve *that*. Besides, she has made two correct predictions, which is still more than the psychic friends network.

>She took this time to walk around the room a bit stopping next to Hotaru's desk and smiling, "Surprised?" she said

Kero: No. Not really.

>and the younger girl nodded then Setsuna walked past them, "My name is Meiou Setsuna. I come from Japan, you may call me Ms. Meiou, Setsuna-sensei, or is >you cannot pronounce either you may call me Ms. S, any comments?" she asked looking around the room.

Hermione: “Is you cannot pronounce either”? Setsuna needs to brush up on her English.

Sakura:<Setsuna> I also respond to “Your Majesty”, “Your Holiness” and “Goddess Pluto”.

>Dream was the first to raise her hand and Setsuna turned to her, "Yes?" Dream smiled a bit, "Well. First of all I think it was great that they got rid of that other >teacher. And um…" she paused for a moment to think of what else she could add, "And second of all…Hi, my name is Yume Anderson, call me Dream." She >scratched the back of her head trying to think of something else she could add, "…That's it." She said finally with a grin.

Tomoyo:<Dream> I’ll, uh… just sit down now, okay?

>Setsuna sweatdropped a bit and shook her head, "Well then…if no one has anything to say I think we should start the first lesson…" Setsuna walked to the front >of the class; the class wasn't redecorated yet since the teacher had been fired only a few days before, "Our first lesson will be-" Now she was of course >interrupted by a Slytherin girl who stood up angrily, "I think that it was wrong to hire you and fire our other teacher! She wasn't a fake! You probably used a >memory charm on everyone! I'm going to go and get you fired! My parents wouldn't stand for you teaching, you probably have no experience at all in this >subject!"

Kero: Yeah. Standing in front of that Time Gate for centuries. What does she know?

Syaoran: Someone’s looking to get their ass kicked by Sailor Pluto.

>Setsuna sent the girl a death glare then returned to her usual calm state, "I'm sorry that you feel that way. There's only one solution then…"

Hermione:<Setsuna> DEAD SCREAM!!

Sakura: It’s the perfect companion for the “death glare”.

>"Yeah, to fire you!" another Slytherin said, who was sitting right next to the girl who had stood up before, most likely the first girl's friend.

Tomoyo:<girl> I’ll get the torches.

>"Wrong. I fail you and you drop this class. Now, leave my class immediately if all you have left to say are foolish insults that will get you in a lot of trouble in the >future." She added a sly grin here which no one but Hotaru really understood, "A lot of trouble in the future." She said again, "Now. Leave already I tire of seeing >your disgusting faces."

Kero: Yow! Sets-chan is kicking ass and taking names!

Sakura:<Setsuna> Now beat it! My staff shall assist you!<THWACK!>

>The two girls gasped at how Ms. S had just insulted them and left in a fury to go and inform the school about what had happened.

All: TEAM SLYTHERIN IS BLASTING OFF AGAaaaaaaaaiinnnnn!!!

>"Now for those who wish to stay in this class…" said Setsuna kindly turning back to the rest of the class, "Our first lesson will have to do with seeing the past, you >are not at the stage yet in which you would be able to see the future." She looked around at all the students, "But first I think I'll call role…and try to remember >your faces and names. Yume Anderson."
>
>"Here! Dream! Remember?" she called raising her hand.

Kero:<Setsuna> Oh, right. Miss Exposition.

>Setsuna nodded, and made a mental note 'Dream Anderson = Hotaru's Friend'. "Terry Boot."

Syaoran: Hotaru’s Friend = Someone I can’t beat up on.

Sakura: Dream’s part of the family now.

Kero:<Tony Soprano> Once you’re in this family, there’s no getting’ out.

>"Present!" A Ravenclaw said raising her hand.
>
>"Mandy Brocklehurst."
>
>"Here!"

Tomoyo: INTENSE… ROLL CALL… ACTION!!

>"Millicent Bullstrode."
>
>Silence.

Hermione: Uh-oh! Hotaru’s had a repeat episode!

>"Millicent Bullstrode?" Setsuna called again. Again there was silence then one Ravenclaw raised her hand, which she recognized as Terry Boot, "She was one of >the girls who left."

Kero:<Setsuna> Right. Now I know who shall be the first to be terminated.

>Setsuna nodded her thanks and went on with the list, "Draco Malfoy."
>
>"Here." Answered an extremely bored voice that belonged to a boy seated behind Hotaru, Dream, and Terry; he was seated in-between Crabbe and Goyle.

Syaoran:<Malfoy> Yeah, yeah. Can we get to the plot now?

>"Hotaru Tomoe." Setsuna called with a slight smile.
>
>"Here." Hotaru said raising her hand.
>
>Setsuna nodded, "Lisa Turpin."

Tomoyo: …tine.

>"Here."
>
>"Blaise Zabini." She said finally reaching the last name.
>
>"She left!" Terry said again.

Sakura: Small class.

Syaoran: Be grateful. We could still be listening to Setsuna call roll.

>Setsuna nodded, "Well. This is a big class, now to get started, each of you should find a crystal ball on the pillow on your desks…in front of you," she added as >she saw some people looking around them.

Hermione: Not exactly a bright class, are they?

>Once she had everyone's attention she continued, "The reason I chose crystal balls," there were some giggles here and there and Setsuna shook her head thinking >'kids…'

Kero:<student> Huh, huh, huh! She said “balls”.

>"Fine. The reason I chose crystal globes was because they are the easiest way to look into the past, not the future, the past…

Sakura:<Setsuna> Plus, I couldn’t get my hands on enough DeLoreans for the alternative.

>besides of course the legendary Gates of Time which you will learn about a little later...Now I want you all to look into the crystal orb in front of you, hold it.

Kero:<Setsuna> Caress it. Fondle it. Whisper sweet nothings in its ear.

Sakura: Kero…

>Do not do what fake fortune tellers do, which is move your hands around it. Simply hold it and stare into it. Try to concentrate, clear your mind and tell me if you >see anything…"

Sakura: This sounds vaguely familiar.

Tomoyo: New Fortune Telling From Concentrate! Try a glass today!

>everyone did as they were told and the room was completely silent as they stared into the crystal globes. Suddenly Dream cried out, "Hotaru sees something! She >sees something!" she yelled clapping in triumph.

Hermione:<Hotaru a la Hitomi Kanzaki> I see it all now. At first I thought it was part of the dream…

>Everyone turned to look at them curiously. Hotaru on the other hand continued staring at the globe transfixed in what she saw there. Setsuna made her way over >to them pleased that Hotaru had seen something and stopped when she noticed the distant look on Hotaru's face.

Kero:<Hotaru> Uhh… Hotaru’s not here, man.

>Hotaru continued staring into the orb her face void of any emotion, her eyes seeming as if they were watching something extremely sad, as her eyes were very cold >and distant. "Hotaru-chan?" Setsuna asked finally as she began to worry.

Hermione:<Hotaru> Must… have… human… souls…

Tomoyo:<Setsuna> Aw, crap… Not again,

>There was no response as she continued staring at the crystal ball. By now many of the students had made their way over to see what was happening.

Syaoran: What? Do they all have poor eyesight or something? The room isn’t that big.

>"Taru-chan?" she asked again tapping her shoulder lightly. Finally when Setsuna began to really worry she picked up the crystal ball, which Hotaru's eyes >followed, and threw it against the wall furthest from them, so no one would be hurt, where it shattered into millions of glittering pieces.

Syaoran: Which flew across the room, slicing through students along the way.

Kero:<student> ARGHHH!!! It’s in my eyes!!

>Hotaru blinked and her eyes once again returned to normal, "Setsuna-mama?" many of the students wondered at this as well as what she had seen.

Tomoyo: The rest were picking shards of crystal out of their flesh.

>"Hotaru-chan what did you see??" Setsuna asked worriedly.

Sakura:<Hotaru> I saw myself in a whole slew of Amazoness Duo fics! Oh, the HORROR! The HOR-ROR!!

Syaoran: Heh.

Tomoyo: Won’t you guys ever leave those two alone?

Syaoran: Actually, I was planning on sending them this fanfic, standing back and watching their heads explode.

>Hotaru gave a small shrug, "I don't know…all I know is…I feel…really…really bad…" and after this comment Hotaru fell limply onto the desk, grateful that the >scarlet pillows had been placed there, and fell asleep.

Kero: I thought she was over that shtick.

Syaoran: She’s just having a Mutsumi Otohime moment.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Ara? Why do I have this sudden urge to collect turtles?

>"Hotaru?!" Setsuna cried nervously as she quickly checked for a pulse.

Tomoyo: She’s dead, Jim

>Once assured that there was one she looked a bit relieved though still worried, "She's just exhausted…it happens sometimes after you first look into that which >should not be tampered with…"

Sakura:<Setsuna> Which is exactly why we’re doing it. Go figure.

>Setsuna lifted Hotaru up as if she was as light as a feather, "I'll be back children, I have to take her to see Madam Pomfrey she needs her rest. All of you stay out >of trouble until I get back, no messing around with anything. If you want you can practice looking into your crystal globes."

Syaoran: Yeah. Not like anything bad can happen.

Hermione:<Setsuna> And feel free to stick your hands in my new blender and hit “puree”.

>Everyone walked back to his or her spots and began talking, a few tried looking into the past again though.

Tomoyo:<student> Cool! I want to have a violent seizure too!

>"I wonder what she saw?" Terry asked Dream curiously.

Hermione: Probably an image of Chibi-Usa, judging by her reaction.

>Dream shrugged, "I don't know…but I didn't really like her reaction too much…"

Tomoyo:<Dream> It would’ve been cooler if her head started spinning.

>Other people began whispering as well:

All:<students>whisper, whisper, whisper…

Hermione:<student> What were we whispering about again?

Syaoran:<student> Uh… I dunno…

>"This class may start to be dangerous if we're not careful!"
>
>"So what? I'd like the challenge."

Kero:<student> I wanna go to the brink of death! Yes!

>"Did you see the look on that girl's face? And what was with her calling Ms. Meiou, Setsuna-mama?? Are they related or something?"

Sakura: Uh… This could take some explaining.

>"They don't look anything alike though, and they have different last names."
>
>"She almost looked like she was dead staring into that thing. I don't know about you but I might quit this class!"

Tomoyo:<student> I came here to learn, not get brain hemorrhages.

>"No way! I'm staying in! This is going to be really cool! When people have reactions like that you know it's real!"

Hermione:<student> Too bad she didn’t start bleeding from her ears and eyes too.

>Draco stayed silent as Crabbe and Goyle were saying something about the girl being pathetic because she saw something that had happened possibly before she >was even born then fainting.

Syaoran: But their time would come soon enough, for Hotaru would be told of this soon enough.

>Setsuna soon walked back into the room with a sigh, "Everyone quiet now. Your homework will be to research the Gates of Time a bit, and when you return in a >few days I expect you to be able to tell me some things about it. You are all dismissed, class is over."

Sakura:<Setsuna> Get out of my sight, worthless mortals.

>The students all got up from their seats and walked out of the room heading to two separate destinations, one of which was the Slytherin Common Room, and the >other was the Ravenclaw Common Room. However Dream was headed to the Hospital Wing along with a few other people to see if she was all right, and of >course ask what she'd seen.

Tomoyo:<whispering> She saw dead people…

Hermione:<giggles>

>Vale: R/R! pwease?

Syaoran: I thought I told you to stop that!

>Vince: ¬¬; baka.
>Vale: *sticks tongue out* Ahaha! So...Setsuna is the new Divinations teacher...can you guess what Ruka-chan teaches? mahahahaha!
>Tomoe: It's easy to figure out now I guess...

Kero: Are you kidding? It was easy to guess three chapters ago.

>Vale: Quiet you!

Hermione:<Vale> Shut up! Shut UP! SHUT UP!!

>Disclaimer: You damn lawyers! Back! Back I say!

Tomoyo: Sit! Heel!

>*pokes them with sticks* I dun' own anything, there I said it! *giggles* I'm getting far with this fic!! SIX chapters! Mwahaha… ^^; Actually I do own a few >students! They are: Marissa Efferson, Jeremy Torsie, Vera Rubello, Reika Sureko, Takashi Yuri. ^^ heehee

Syaoran: Good Lord! They’re multiplying!

Sakura:<singing>The ACCs come marching two by two. Hurrah… Hurrah…

>Vale (Saturn Angels)

Kero: And our next class is: Care of Magical Creatures!

Syaoran:<Hagrid> All right, today we’re going ter be looking at magical talkin’ cats.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Luna?!

Tomoyo:<Luna> Don’t ask.

>"Madam Pomfrey. I'm here to see Hotaru," Dream said as she tried walking passed the nurse.

Kero: Hoo boy…

Syaoran: Wow! We haven’t seen that spelling mistake since “Good Bye Sweet Li”.

>"I'm sorry dear…she is sleeping right now…she won't be able to see anyone for a few hours. She's very ill…" Madam Pomfrey said smiling a little.

Hermione: Are you sure you’re not confusing her with Mutsumi Otohime?

Sakura:<Mutsumi> Ara? I sent my test results to the wrong school? Oopsie… Hee, hee.

>Dream pouted, "Can't you let just me in??"

Tomoyo:<Dream> I’ll give you my extra question mark.

>"That wouldn't be fair to the other children dear…" Madam Pomfrey answered.

Kero:<Dream> Screw them! I’m an ACC! I can do what I want! Outta my way, lady!

>"What other…" Dream turned around and for the first time noticed that a small group of Slytherins and Ravenclaws were there. "…Yeah, but I'm her friend…" she >said sweatdropping.

Sakura:<Dream> Them? They’re just my entourage.

>"…Well I suppose I can let you in for a little while…"

Tomoyo:<Pomfrey> So just put the gun down, please.

>All the children began clapping.

Hermione:<singing> So no one told you it was gonna be this way.

>Madam Pomfrey quickly shushed them, "Only one of you. The rest of you will have to come back in a few hours if you want to see Ms. Tomoe, Dream you can >go in and see her, only for a little while, she needs her sleep."

Kero:<Pomfrey> SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!

Hermione: Ahhh… That’s what she always says.

>Dream grinned and stuck her tongue out at the other children then ran to see Hotaru. When she got there Hotaru was already up though still lying down in bed.

>
>"Hey Hotaru…you better get well soon know why?" Dream asked entering the room and pulling up a chair by the bed.

Sakura:<Dream> Because I said so.

>"Hm?" was Hotaru's response.

Kero:<Hotaru> Oh, I’m sorry. Did you say something?

>"Because if you don't, and I get a letter from my mom telling me to translate a phrase from Japanese to English, or English to Japanese I'm toast."

Hermione:<Dream>…with strawberry jam.

Kero: And a nice Chianti!

Sakura: Kero…

>Hotaru smirked, "Well the point is that I really am well. It's just that I fainted, which I do a lot of … or used to anyway, and now everyone thinks I'm sick. Most >likely I'll be back in the Slytherin Common Room later tonight."

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> And I thought my Fainters Anonymous meetings were going so well. I’d better tell my sponsor.

Hermione: Let me guess. Mutsumi Otohime?

Syaoran: Nah. Those would conflict with her Kissing Anonymous meetings.

>"…Lucky! If I were you I'd just spend all my time here pretending to not feel well, and not go to any of my classes!"

Kero:<Dream>Education? I don’t need no stinkin’education!

>Hotaru smiled a little, "But if I did that I would have a lot of make-up work, wouldn't I?"

Sakura:<sniggers> Saturn Power Make-Up!

>"I would do it for you…"

Tomoyo:<singing> I’d die for you, I’d fly for you…

>Hotaru stared at Dream with a raised eyebrow.
>
>"…but I'm not going to."

All:<imitate canned laughter>

Kero: Oh, for fun!

>Hotaru smiled unevenly, "Anyway. I have to convince the nurse to let me out…"

Hermione:<Hotaru> Attica! Attica!

>Dream nodded a little, "Hey…what did you see in the crystal 'globe'?" she asked curiously.

Syaoran: Crystal Tokyo, obviously. Right there in Crystal Japan.

>Hotaru was silent for a moment, "Well at first all I could see was a bunch of purple smoke, my favorite color by the way…" she paused here, how would she >explain what she saw in the little orb without explaining to her about the senshi and stuff? Oh well, she'd just pretend like she didn't know either. "Then I saw this >really big palace…it was really dark and everything, half-destroyed, it looked abandoned…

Tomoyo: It was Hinata Lodge after one of Kitsune’s more brutal parties.

Sakura: Hate to see her hangover after that one.

>but the strange thing was that the palace was on a different planet, I could see the earth but it was really tiny and hard to distinguish like I was far away from >it…and then-"

Sakura:<Hotaru> I was attacked by a furry orange cat girl.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> It was a place where the Earth and the moon hang in the sky.

>Before Hotaru could continue Madam Pomfrey walked in, "Alright Dream. Time for you to go back to your Common Room, get some rest Hotaru." And led >Dream out who was pouting, and most likely cursing at Madam Pomfrey in her head.

Hermione:<Dream> Damn convenient interruptions.

Syaoran: Can’t give away too much plot now, can we?

>Hotaru got out of bed and walked over to where Madam Pomfrey was standing, "Madam Pomfrey?"
>
>Madam Pomfrey looked up then shook her head and motioned to the bed, "No, no. Go and get some rest."

All: SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP!!

>"But-"
>
>"No buts, I'll let you go back to the Slytherin Common Room, once you fall asleep, and once you wake up I'll let you back. You haven't been resting at all. So, >go." She said and made sure Hotaru went back and rested.

Kero:<scratches his head> She’ll let her go back when she’s asleep… but when she wakes up she’ll be allowed to come back…? Huh?

Tomoyo: Could someone please decode that sentence?

>Hotaru, being taught obedience to her elders at a very young…er…sort of young age, did was she was told and fell fast asleep.

Syaoran: It was something taught to her in one of her previous lives.

>The next thing Hotaru knew was that she had woken up, and the window next to her showed that it was nighttime.

Kero: The window was holding up a big sign.

>She looked at the clock next to her that read 9:30 pm, it was among one of the only normal clocks in the school. She sighed and got up, Madam Pomfrey nodded >and told her to get back to her Common Room and try to sleep…again. She also told her that she had been asleep for the whole day meaning she missed DADA >with Hufflepuff.

Tomoyo: Prof. Tomoe had made off with the souls of twelve students.

Kero: Just another day at the office for him.

>Hotaru groaned as she made her way back, that means she had make-up work…she hated make-up work with a vengeance.

Syaoran: Homework: The Revenge!

Hermione: This time it’s personal!

>She got back to the Slytherin Common Room and expected everyone to be asleep. She was surprised when she entered to find someone who had fallen asleep >on the couch next to the fireplace. She raised an eyebrow and upon closer inspection she discovered that it was Draco who was fast asleep.

Syaoran: Now watch as Draco rolls off the couch and lands in the fireplace! Oh, for fun!

>She smiled slightly as she realized how innocent, and adorable he looked…while he slept, mind you. She held her hand in mid-air hovering slightly above his brow >wondering if she should wake him up or not.

Tomoyo: In the end she did…

Hermione: …with a tazer!

Sakura:<Hotaru> I learned that from Rally Vincent!

Syaoran: Eh? Oh, you mean the blonde one.

>He moved slightly so that she had to pull her hand back a little to avoid contact, and avoid him waking up, etc.

Kero: INTENSE… ABBREVIATION… ACTION…

>'You know…I never really noticed that he really isn't that bad looking…' she thought to herself then blushed a bit, 'in an ugly…sort of way' she added >sweatdropping.

Syaoran: In a roadkill sort of way.

Tomoyo That sentence wasn’t too bad…

Sakura: …in an oxymoron sort of way.

>'He looks too innocent!' she thought trying to tear her gaze from his face. '…All right. That's it. I am. Going. To. Touch his face.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Must. Talk. Like Shatner.

>Just to make sure it's Draco and not some…alien or something.'

Kero: Suddenly, Draco’s chest exploded.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Aw, crap! Someone call Sigourney Weaver!

>She thought before touching the side of his face with her fingertips softly. She ran her fingers lightly along the side of his face, then to his chin, and then outlined the >contour of his bottom lip.

Hermione:<Hotaru> Eeewwwww! His skin is all oily and slimy.

>'Warm…' she thought silently,

Sakura: Definitely an alien then.

>'All right it's him. Good night' she thought hastily afraid to get any closer then she already was. She was about to leave when she felt a pull at her hand she looked >down surprised to see Draco holding her hand, of course he was probably still half asleep as his eyes were half-closed, he looked sleepy, and drowsy.

Kero: …and tired and exhausted and Dopey and Sneezey and Grumpy and Doc…

>Before Hotaru had time to even ask him what he was doing or tell him to let go of her hand, he pulled her into a passionate embrace and brought his lips up to >meet hers.

Syaoran: The hell?!

Hermione: We’ve secretly replaced Draco with Mikado Sanzenin…

Kero: If they didn’t want anyone to notice the difference they’d have used Kentaro Sakata.

Tomoyo: The rich, heartless stalker bastard? Sounds about right.

>Her eyes widened and she blinked with surprise especially when she acknowledged that she actually liked the kiss…

Sakura: Although, let’s face it, they should have quit a decade ago and Gene Simmons is still a loser.

>it was soft and gentle…two qualities she never thought Draco could possess. She pulled away after a few seconds and he looked at her confused, "Tomoe?" he >asked curiously.

Syaoran:<Malfoy> I thought you were Dale!

>Realizing that he was still half asleep she smiled sweetly at him, "You're dreaming Draco…" she said in a sugary-sweet voice.

Hermione:<Hotaru a la Naru Narusegawa> YOU PERVERT!! <WHAM!!>

>Acknowledging what she said as being true, Hotaru would never speak with that tone of voice he turned, "Hm," was all he mumbled before falling back to sleep, >using this time Hotaru ran as fast as she could to her bed, if Michiru found out about that…she shuddered just thinking about what would happen if Michiru found >out.

Kero:<Michiru> We didn’t raise you to be heterosexual, young lady! We’d better see you necking with Yume by the end of the next chapter OR ELSE!!

Tomoyo: We’re gonna catch hell for that one.

>And how was she going to act in front of him now!? 'He thinks it's a dream so no change in how he acts around me. Fine, I'll just have to act normal…like myself.' >She nodded and attempted sleeping.

Sakura: If she can’t even get that right, she’s in real trouble.

>-The next morning…-

Syaoran:<Malfoy> Ughhh… Whoa! What a hangover…

>"Guess what! Guess what!" Dream asked shaking Hotaru to wake up.
>
>"What?" Hotaru asked lazily.

Kero: This seems familiar.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> This is Setsuna-mama’s revenge, isn’t it?

>"I know who the DADA teacher is! I know who the DADA teacher is!" she chanted.

Syaoran: Big deal. We’ve known for about four chapters.

>"You should know, you went to DADA yesterday…today is music and art…" Hotaru said sweatdropping.

Hermione: Music and Art? The hell…?

Kero: Apparently Hogwarts has been making changes to the curriculum.

>Dream pouted, "Yeah…but you don't know who the DADA teacher is."

Tomoyo:<Dream> Come on!!! You’re ruining my fun!!

>Hotaru rolled her eyes, "That's because I was sleeping for a whole day"

Kero: Whoa! Lazy, isn’t she?

Syaoran: Poor girl is exhausted from having to carry the whole story on her own.

>"Want me to tell you then?" she asked excitedly.
>
>"Yes, please enlighten me." Hotaru said so Dream would stop jumping on her bed.

Sakura:<Hotaru, monotone> No. Really. I want to know.

>"TENOU HARUKA!!!!" she cried happily, "THE Tenou Haruka! Famous race-car driver!!" she giggled insanely.

Tomoyo:<Dream> Ha, ha, ha, ha! I *am* the guardian of the hell!!

Kero: Race car driving being a great qualifier to teach Defense Against The Dark Arts.

>Hotaru stared at Dream, "Haruka-papa is here? …and Setsuna-mama was Divination…that leaves Michiru-mama…"

Hermione: Hmmmm…I wonder if this has anything to do with the new music classes.

>"YOU know Tenou Haruka??" Dream asked her eyes going wide and dreamy, "You're sooo lucky! Introduce me! Introduce me! Introduce me!"

Syaoran: Oh, come on. Haruka’s not *that* well known.

Sakura: Maybe she’s a big racing fan?

>"Gee…Dream you know those letters I got? The people you said you wanted to meet?"
>
>Dream nodded vigorously.

All:<sniggers>

Tomoyo: Dream, dear, you should cut back on the caffeine a bit.

>"Yeah. Setsuna is Ms. Meiou, and Haruka is Tenou Haruka, our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." 'Though I don't know how she ever got that job…well I >suppose she had to have some skill when Galaxia had those bracelet things on her and Michi-mama and they remained sane and knowing exactly what they were >doing…'

Kero: Can we please go for one chapter without the Haruka bashing?

Syaoran: Did Teisu write this?

>she continued aloud, "And I'm beginning to become suspicious…I suspect that Michiru will end up being our Art and Music teacher…that's her forte after all." >Hotaru explained.

Kero:<Hotaru> Music, forte… Get it?

Sakura: That joke was very *bass*, Kero.

Tomoyo: Yeah. Knock it off before you get in *treble*.

>"That's great. That's great." Dream said absently, "Oh yeah…it did seem strange because Mr. Tenou got all worried when calling role and you are absent and stuff, >he visited you while you were sleeping I think."
>
>Hotaru blinked, "He?" she giggled, "Tenou Haruka is a girl."

Kero: Watch as wacky transvestite Haruka fools ‘em again!

Syaoran: Actually, I thought that the episode where Minako and Usagi followed her around thinking she was a guy was pretty funny. Especially when they found out the truth.

Sakura:<Minako> Aw, man! This is like “Madison’s Mystery Crush” all over again.

>Dream pouted, "You better be joking!"

Hermione:<Hotaru> No. But now that you mention it, I heard a really good one yesterday. Okay, a priest, a rabbi and a senshi walk into a bar…

>Hotaru shook her head, "No, I'm not. She may act like a guy, dress like a guy, and maybe even talk like a guy…but Tenou Haruka is most definitely a girl."

Kero:<Hotaru> I’ve seen her in the shower. I know.

Sakura: Kero!

>"And how you know this??" Dream asked putout by this knew information.

Hermione: Asked putout? The hell?

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> I live with her, dumbass.

>"I only lived with Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna for…sixteen years?" she decided to reduce the true number of years so she wouldn't confuse her comrade by >telling her she'd been reborn about four or five times now. Possibly even six…she lost count.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Hell, I’ve had more lives than Luna.

>Dream's eyes widened, "Wow! You mean Kaiou Michiru? The famous violinist?"

Syaoran: Oh, brother…

Kero:<Dream> Next you’ll be telling me you know Tsukino Usagi, the famous klutz.

>Hotaru nodded.
>
>"So…you lived with two famous people! Lucky you!" Dream said excited then her mood quickly changed, "Anyway, I'm hungry, Haruka told me to tell you to >meet …her for breakfast Slytherin table, like usual. …She said um…she'd bring some friends."

Hermione:<Dream>Damn it! Hold that cue card up higher. I can’t read it.

Sakura:<Dream> Stupid Tele-Prompter…

>Hotaru sweatdropped, got out of bed, changed, and went to eat breakfast, with Dream tagging along of course. Once they each got what they were going to eat >they sat at the Slytherin table. Hotaru looked around and waited patiently for a sign of Haruka or the others.
>
>Dream had a piece of toast in her hands while keeping a close watch on the doors to keep an eye out for Haruka and his…um…her friends.

Syaoran: Wow! Even the author can’t keep up with the gender issues in this fic.

>Soon enough Dream spotted Haruka heading towards the table with Michiru and Setsuna in tow.

Kero: Sadly, Michiru and Setsuna had gotten a flat on the way to the hall and they didn’t have a spare.

>Haruka waved and made her way over, "Hey Hotaru! Feeling better? You weren't in my class! You missed it! It was so cool!" she suddenly grinned broadly, >"Guess what! Guess what!"

Hermione: Whoa! Just dial it back a bit there, Haruka.

Kero:<Haruka> TEA! I NEED MORE TEA!!

>Hotaru sweatdropped at the strange looks they were receiving from everyone, "Wh-What?"
>
>Haruka looked around her eyes narrowed suspiciously then whispered something in Hotaru's ear which was, 'I got a gold cauldron! Michi wouldn't let me get that >book…5000 ways to get Revenge…but I got it anyway! You can't tell her though! You can borrow it anytime you want by the way.'

Syaoran: Ummm… Is encouraging the senshi of death to indulge in revenge really a good idea?

Kero: Yeah. And so is sticking a fork in the toaster.

>Of course Haruka whispered loud and clear so Michiru from her place next to Haruka and across from Dream heard it…along with Dream and Setsuna.

Tomoyo: Ummm… Huh?

Hermione: Well, folks. That is officially the most awkward sentence we’ve read so far.

>Setsuna sweatdropped and prepared herself for an angered Michiru, and Dream looked a bit confused by it all.
>
>Michiru looked as if flames were in her eyes then she thought better of how she should act in front of Hotaru and Haruka…now that Haruka had a very dangerous >book in hand, "…Haruka…you know I would've let you get the book…um…yes. I would have. If you. Had asked." She said obviously forcing a smile.

Sakura:<Michiru> Force smile. Talk. Like Shatner.

Kero: There seems to be a lot of that going around.

>Haruka blinked and looked at Michiru, "Michi? That's not like you…it's not like I'm going to use the book against you…"

Hermione:<Haruka>…yet.

>Michiru mentally let out a sigh of relief; Haruka would never lie to her…ehm…she hoped.

Kero: Although that fall down the stairs this morning was starting to seem suspicious.

>"I know that Haruka…" she said quietly then gave the senshi of the sky a light kiss on the cheek,

All: Awwwww…

Syaoran: I can’t believe I’m being moved by Haruka and Michiru WAFFing.

>"Hotaru." She was using her scolding voice and Hotaru cringed involuntarily. "Yes Michiru-mama?"
>
>"You haven't been drinking your milk have you?"

Tomoyo: Huh?

Sakura: That was quite out of left field!

>"But I don't like milk Michi-mama…" Hotaru protested.

Kero:<Hotaru> Irish cream maybe, but…

>"Hotaru, you need your calcium! I'm going to go get you a glass of milk and you better drink all of it!" with this Michiru got up and went to get her a glass of milk.

Tomoyo: INTENSE… VITAMIN… ACTION!!

Hermione: This fanfic brought to you by the Dairy Council.

>Dream stared at Hotaru unbelievingly, "How can you not like milk??"
>
>Hotaru shrugged a bit, "It tastes nasty."

Sakura:<Hotaru> Of course, the fact that we leave it on the radiator for a week may have something to do with it.

>"…Wow…milk tastes really good to me…hm…oh well…Hotaru can I talk to you alone really fast?" Dream asked.

Tomoyo:<Dream> It’s about those damn cue cards. They’re completely illegible.

>"Sure I guess…" the two left the table and Dream pulled her out into the hallway.
>
>"Okay…so our DADA teacher is Tenou Haruka…and he…she's your foster parent…and the blue haired girl is most likely our Art/Music teacher…and is your >foster parent as well…and…they're a couple…um…so…is…Michiru a guy or something?"

Kero: Yeah. Michiru is a really convincing transvestite.

Tomoyo:<Dream> Oh, please God, just let them be two freakish cross-dressers.

>Hotaru sweatdropped but her face remained serious, "Actually Tenou Haruka is a …how should I put it…you're not homophobic are you?"

Syaoran: Subtle.

Sakura:<Dream> Quit changing the subject! Is she a guy or not?

Hermione:<Hotaru> Uh… How should I put this? Dream, have you ever read “Revolutionary Girl Utena” by chance?

>Dream shook her head…she could sort of guess what Hotaru was going to say next.
>
>"Good, because Tenou Haruka is a girl and Kaiou Michiru is a girl and they are both deeply in love."

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Or so they tell me.

>Dream pouted, "Why couldn't Tenou Haruka be a guy!?"

Hermione: I’ll just take a guess here, but I’da ssume it had something to do with not receiving a Y chromosome when she was conceived.

>Hotaru only shrugged, how was she supposed to know?

Sakura:<Hoyaru> I just work here.

>"Ugh…well too bad…ick…I was attracted to a girl…okay ew…ew…no! I'm perfectly straight! Anyway we should get back to the table before your um...moms >come looking for us."

Tomoyo:<Dream a la Ben Stiller> I’m not gay. I get that a lot and no, I’m not gay.

Kero: Uh-huh.

>Hotaru nodded slightly and the two made there way back into the Great Hall.
>
>Michiru spotted the two making their way over and waited for them to sit down, "Hotaru-chan where'd you go?"
>
>"We just had to speak about something in private."

Hermione:<Hotaru> I was telling everyone about your teddy bear print panties.

>"...Hm...alright, I got you some milk...drink all of it! I have to go though, you know I have to get ready for my next class." Michiru said getting up.
>

>Haruka sighed dramatically, "Michiru! You gave it away! They didn't know for sure that you were a teacher but now you blew it!"

Kero: Actually, I think you’re the one who *really* blew it, Haruka.

>Michiru sweatdropped, "…Did I say next Hogwarts class? No, I um…teach a ... orchestra! Orchestra at a … junior high in … Japan…yes…"

Syaoran: Very convincing.

Sakura:<Michiru> Yeah. I’m an excellent driver.

>Everyone sweatdropped, can you tell Michiru isn't good at lying? Yeah…so can they.

Kero: Ha ha ha! Kill me.

Tomoyo: Well, at least someone besides Haruka screwed up.

>Michiru sweatdropped at flashed a grin obviously faked, "…um…anyway! Ja mata ne! (Goodbye)" she then walked sophisticatedly out of the Great Hall.

Kero:<Jack Lemmon> Would you look at that? She’s like Jell-o on springs. I’m telling you, it’s a whole different sex!

>Haruka shook her head slightly, "Ahh...anyway I really should get ready for the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class…It's with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw >so…I'll talk to you later, and if you need any help with your homework just ask, k? I really wanted the flying job though…" sigh, 'I'll talk to you later tonight' she >added mentally, Hotaru nodded slightly, and Haruka got up from her seat with a slight stretch, "Ah well at least I got my gold cauldron!" she said happily then ran >out of the Great Hall.

Hermione: She just has no idea what to do with it.

Syaoran: Considering her characterization so far, she probably wears it as a hat.

>Setsuna shook her head, "Dream never mind those two...they aren't too good at lying...and are still in many ways like children. So, Hotaru…I'm glad you're feeling >better. Dream was very worried about you…"

Kero: Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Sakura: Kero…

>Hotaru smiled a bit, "Setsuna-mama?"
>
>"Hm?"
>
>"Shouldn't you be getting ready for your next Divinations class? You know with Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?"

Tomoyo: Read: Please go way. You’re embarrassing me.

>"…But that's not until later on tonight." Setsuna said then shrugged, "Might as well...you know what? Being a teacher is not all it's cut out to be...I swear next time >I see that Malfoy kid I'm going to strangle him..."

Hermione: YES!

Kero: Go on, Sets-chan! Throttle him once for us!

>Setsuna said then kissed Hotaru's forehead, "Sayonara Hotaru-chan," she walked out of the Great Hall with style, grace, and poise.

Kero:<imitates sexy saxophone music>

Syaoran: Setsuna Meiou *IS* Emma Peel in “The Avengers”!

>"I have to learn how to walk with that confidence…" Dream commented.

Kero: Not to mention that sexy hip swivel thing.

Sakura: Down, boy! Heel!

>Hotaru smirked, "Well…she's had enough practice…" then Hotaru's thoughts drifted back to what Setsuna had said 'I swear next time I see that Malfoy kid I'm >going to strangle him…' then her thoughts drifted back to the previous night…her cheeks flushed pink for half a millisecond then a Chibi-Hotaru walked into her >brain's eye-view and brutally shoved the memory away, with a mallet…

Kero:<sniggers> She learned that from Haruka.

Tomoyo: Any more chibis and this could be “Magic Knight Rayearth”.

>then she thought of what would happen if her three 'parents' were to find out about that…
>
>Dream stretched her arms out and yawned, "Well! We should get to that Art/Music class! I'm so excited! Then after that we have Herbology…And Haruka said >she signed you up in an extra class, which is 'Star Gazing' she'd said something about you liking to create perfect replicas of the universe when you were younger >or something,

Syaoran: Perfect replicas of the universe, huh?

Hermione: Hotaru must’ve studied with Washu Hakubi at some point.

>and I signed up for Muggle Studies. And tomorrow…ugh, it's too much to remember now! So let's just get to that Art and Music class! I'm really excited about >that!"

Kero: Yeah. Sounds like it requires a lot of magic, doesn’t it?

>Hotaru nodded and the two set off for the new Music and Art classroom, newly built. "Who is this class scheduled with?"

Hermione: Newly built? When did they have time for that?

Syaoran: They probably used the “Perlongo Construction Technique”.

>"The teacher?"
>
>"No, the House."

Sakura:<singing> …with two cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard.

>"Oh! I knew that, it's Slytherin, of course, and Hufflepuff."
>
>Hotaru nodded and walked into the room taking a seat in the front next to Dream. Soon everyone entered the classroom and sat next to their friends. The teacher >entered the room and the noise completely stopped some people wolf-whistled to whom she glared. The woman with aqua hair…none other then! "Hello >students…my name is Kaiou Michiru. Call me Miss Michiru, or Ms. Michi if you want…and if you have trouble just remember to call me Ms. M, m the beginning >of music, or even ma'am: MA standing for Music/Art, and AM standing for Art/Music."

Tomoyo:<Michiru> Well, you can call me Ray. Or you can call me Jay.

Kero: Just don’t call her late for dinner.

>This received a few giggles mostly from the female audience.
>
>She smiled slightly and looked at Hotaru, "Are you surprised Hotaru?"

Sakura:<Hotaru> No. I laid back Hotaru. The surprised Hotaru is for a later chapter.

Hermione: Commas! Use ‘em!

>"…Not really" Hotaru answered truthfully with a slight sweatdrop.

Syaoran: After all, you’re about as subtle as a kick in the head.

>Michiru pouted…very un-Michiru-like, "Well then class I will begin by calling role…"

Kero:<whimpering> No… Not again…

>After everyone's names…

Kero:<Gary Shandling> Okay. Five minutes have just past.

>"So…today we will be choosing what we would rather study…everyone have a piece of paper…it doesn't matter what size it is, and on it write what subject you >would rather have… Art or Music. Do not tell your friends which you are choosing just in case they change their own…begin writing."
>
>The scribbling of quill pens could be heard on the paper then it stopped signaling that they had finished writing.

Hermione: Time’s up! Pencils down, please.

>"Good…now fold it in half and I will collect them and see which subject won…" after everyone folded the sheets of paper in half Michiru went around picking >them up. "Alright let's see and the winner is…a draw."

Tomoyo: Oh, lovely.

Sakura: So, *technically* it’s music *or* art, not music *and* art.

>Some of the students clapped thinking this meant that art was going to be the subject.

Syaoran: Others clapped because they thought music was.

Kero: Such brilliant minds these kids have. They don’t understand the word “draw”.

>Michiru sweatdropped 'how embarrassing' "…No, it's a tie…the same amount of votes for each subject so what I'm going to do is…for those of you who want to >study art go to the right of the class"
>
>Students got up.

Sakura: Students got down.

Tomoyo: Students put their right foot in.

Sakura: Students took their right foot out.

Kero: Okay! That’s enough of that.

>"Not yet. Wait until I say so. And students who want to study music on the left. You can take your places now."
>
>Everyone separated and went to separate sides of the class. Most of the girls chose music though a few guys did too.

Tomoyo: What? Are they going to fight it out now?

Kero: Martin Scorcese’s newest film! Gangs Of Hogwarts!

Hermione:<dramatic> Diagon Alley was born in the streets…

>"Good…I guess I'll just have to teach two subjects at once…alright then…so let's see who wants art…" she listed all the people's names and wrote them down in >a notebook under a title that said 'Art students. Slytherin/Hufflepuff' among these were Draco, Dream, Crabbe, and Goyle (of course). "And now those who want >music…" she listed the students in the same notebook under 'Music Students. S/H' among these were Hotaru, Pansy Parkinson, and Marissa Efferson. "Oh >yes…also a bit of a surprise I forgot to mention earlier those who decided to take the music class! Those who do exceptionally well will sing in front of the entire >school…songs of my choice.

Hermione:<Michiru> I’ll reward you with public humiliation! Whee!

Sakura:<Michiru> I certainly didn’t do this *deliberately* to trap you or anything.

>If you only speak English and I give you a Chinese song deal with it, you will learn.

Tomoyo:<Michiru> Ve haf vays of making you learn…. Mwa-HAHAHAHA!!

Kero:<Michiru> For the Chinese translation, we turn to our new teacher from Hong Kong.

Syaoran: Oh, ha ha, guys.

>Music is singing as well as instrumental…three instruments will accompany each soloist they well consist of a violin, a piano, a cello, a harp, or a base, sometimes >we will switch instruments and instrument players…so at least five of you twenty-seven will have to play instruments. And to my art class...during this concert >those of outstanding talent will have their artworks shown while the soloists are singing. So...we should get ready. If the music students will please recite the 'Do >Re Mi's' please while I pass out some paper, brushes, and paints, etc. to my art students."

Kero: Sophisticated class, huh?

Hermione: Whee! Play group is FUN!

>Marissa raised her hand, "What are the Do Re Mi's?"

Sakura: Oh no…

>"Oh you know… here I'll demonstrate on each note you go a step higher…like this.. Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. Then when going backwards you go a step >down each tune. Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re, Do. And to those who wish to play an instrument…think of which instrument you would like to play and if you >already have one in mind tell me once I've gotten my art students started."

Syaoran: Lovely. The fic has turned into “The Sound Of Music”.

Kero: I hope they run into some Nazis.

>Hotaru thought about whether she wanted to sing or play an instrument, 'Michiru-mama did give me those violin lessons while I was two months old…but I looked >around 5 years old…that's when Haruka taught me that Solar System 'game'…but I already know how to play violin now…so I guess I'll sing…' she nodded a bit >as she received her answer,

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> I have my answer! I’m walking on air!

Syaoran: She was two months old…but she looked five years… Hell. I don’t get it.

>"Do…Re…Mi...Fa…So…La…Ti…Do…! Do…Ti…La…So… …Fa… Mi…Re... …Do" she looked over to Draco, who was busy listening to Michiru speak >about how to properly hold and use the brush to get the best smooth surface, texturing will come later.

Hermione: Welcome to Debbie Travis’ Painted Castle!

>Draco turned to her after feeling someone's gaze on him, he looked at her with a raised eyebrow and a mocking smirk. Hotaru glared at him and really had the >urge for once to give him the finger, yup that's right the finger in the middle…she'd learned that gesture from Dream.

Sakura: Dream was always flipping people off between smoke breaks.

>She decided against it however since Michiru was there…yeah, middle fingers + Michiru do not mix well…sort of like electricity and water.

Kero: Sort of like plot and this fic.

Tomoyo: Yeah. Feel free to get to the story any day now.

>She turned away clenching her teeth, "Do…Re…Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Re, Mi, Do." 'Oops..wrong order…' "Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re, >Do" she was getting good at this…sort of.

Hermione: Read: Not at all.

>Michiru looked at her art students, "Okay…now practice some brush strokes on one sheet of paper, it's just practice it doesn't have to be perfect…use any color >you want, mix any colors. I have to see how my Music class is doing." She walked to the other side of the room, "Okay, now…who wants to play instruments?"

Sakura:<Michiru> Do whatever the hell you want. I don’t care anymore

>Six people stood up. "Good." Michiru said with a nod and turned to a blank page in her notebook titling it 'Music-Instruments S/H. "Alright your names and your >instruments please…"
>
>"Marissa Efferson, cello!"

Kero: There’s always room for cello.

Syaoran: Yo-Yo Ma she’s not.

Sakura: She isn’t even Shinji Ikari.

>She wrote it down as fast as Marissa said it. "next?"
>
>"Jeremy Torsie, base"

Kero: All your base belong to us!!

>Writes the name and instrument down. "Next."

Hermione:<Lemina Ausa> NEXT!!

>"Vera Rubello, piano."

Syaoran: Vera Rubello: Hogwarts answer to Miki Kaoru.

Tomoyo:<Vera> Ohayo, Miss Anthy!

>Nod, write, write. "Next"

Hermione:<Lemina Ausa> Neeeeext!!

>"Reika Sureko, violin."
>
>Grin, write, write. "Next."

Tomoyo:<Michiru> I love the smell of prodigies in the morning.

>"Um. Takashi Yuri…harp"

Sakura:<Michiru> Okay. I’m going to be pairing you up with a redhead named Kei.

Tomoyo:<Yuri> Oh, great…

Kero: Yuri… Does that mean she’s…

Kero: Ite…

>Smiles sweetly, "Okay got it. And last but certainly not least..."
>
>"Pansy Parkinson, piano."
>
>"…Alright Pansy, we may or may not use you in the concert depending on how you play. If you play better then Ms. Vera Rubello then I shall see which one to >use, I may end up using both…I'm not sure."

Hermione:<Michiru> Depends how many pianos we can dig up.

>"You'll use me as your pianist Kaiou." The girl said haughtily and in a commanding voice.

Tomoyo:<Pansy a la Obi-Wan Kenobi> You will use me as your pianist. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

>Michiru glared at the girl, the class's attention on the two. "Well, Pansy. Since you show no respect...we shall see if I allow you to stay in this class at all. No more >nonsense from you Ms. Parkinson's Disease,

All:<imitate laugh track>

Kero: Serious illness is FUNNY!

>you can do what you will right now but I have a class to teach" 'I'll have to get Haruka to lend me that book of hers if I'll have to go through this every class with >Slytherin.' She thought as she gave the girl her best death glare.

Kero: Another graduate of the Syaoran School of Glowering.

Hermione: Wasn’t that a tad much?

Syaoran: No.

>Some giggles, laughs, cheers, cat calls, and clapping are heard. Pansy turns and glares at everyone most of the people shut up. Most of the people.

Hermione: The rest are quickly gunned down as an example to others.

>"Now for those who want to sing in my music class I'm going to pass around some music and lyrics that I want you to study and when you come back in…a few >days you will sing," hands are raised, "Yes you will sing in front of the class," hands are lowered, "so I will pass around the music for all of you, you can study it for >the remainder of class and then I want the art class to try and paint something symmetrical, it doesn't need to be perfect give it different shades say if you decide to >draw a heart use different shades of red by mixing it with oranges or pinks, possibly a little bit of white to give it a soft look...not too much or it won't turn out >right." She counted all the music students who would be singing and passed out the music and the music for instruments as well. "Each of you will get different >pieces, seven pieces each you should learn at least, at least four by our next class together" some groans were heard throughout the class.

Syaoran: What the…?

Kero: She’s bouncing back and forth between the groups like a ping-pong ball.

>Hotaru looked at her pieces that were titled, 'Dreams Come True' (English Version) By SES;

Kero: The song that inspired Mike Rhea *and* Chrytalina Rhapsody Draco!

Tomoyo: May SES burn in hell forever.

>'Castles in the Sky' By Ian Van Dahl;

Sakura: The theme from Laputa.

Syaoran: Probably Utena too.

>'Fly Me to The Moon' by Frank Sinatra; Yakusoku ha Iranai (I don't Need Promises: Opening theme to Escaflowne); Tamashii no refrain (Soul Refrain: Neon >Genesis Evangelion);

Hermione: Soundtrack available on Saturn Angels Records.

Sakura: Some of these are pretty good.

>Mangetsu no Shiwaza (Because of the Full Moon: Devil Hunter Yohko);

Syaoran: Ooh… That’s a good one too.

Sakura: Maybe Saturn Angels and Kit Spooner should write a fic together,

>and 'Drops of Jupiter' By Train.

Kero:<CardCaptor Schlueter> Woo-hoo! Yes!

>She sweatdropped and decided which one she would learn first. She decided to learn: Dreams Come True, "Okay…we still have about ten minutes of class…so >I'll start trying to sing Dreams Come True…" she cleared her throat thankful that everyone else was trying to sing so no one would focus on her, she hated being >the center of attention...she'd never forgive Michiru if she chose her to sing.

Sakura: Oh, great. Now it’s a songfic too.

All:<monotone> Yay.

>"Here I am with open arms
>Waiting for my boy to come to me...
>And then my baby's here with all his charms

Kero: Yellow moons, pink hearts, green clovers, purple horseshoes…

>Whisper to his ear in secrecy, 'baby'.
>
>Funny how all dreams come true,
>Like a fool I'm into you
>The day we met I lost my sanity

Hermione:<singing> Chopped you up with a machete.

>Funny how I feel for you
>Like a fool I'm into you
>You washed away my insecurity...

Sakura: Wait ‘til you get to the rinse cycle.

>Here we lie heart to heart
>Perfect night for keeping you so near
>And we'll let all the world drift far apart
>As I hear you whisper to my ear, 'baby'

Kero:<singing> You’re lying on my arm and I can’t feel it anymoooore.

>Funny how all dreams come true,
>Like a fool I'm into you

Syaoran:<singing> Gave you all my credit cards and my check book too.

>The day we met I lost my sanity
>Funny how I feel for you
>Like a fool I'm into you

Tomoyo:<singing> But that tacky outfit just won’t do.

>Dreams come true,
>Like a fool I'm into you,
>The day we met I lost my sanity.

Kero:<singing> Started acting like Jim Carrey,

>Funny what our love can do,
>Like a fool I'm into you boy.
>Dreams come true,

Sakura:<singing> Except for those who have to read this through.

>Like a fool I'm into you,
>The day we met I lost my sanity.
>Funny how I feel for you,
>You washed away my insecurity..."

Kero:<Remington Steele> Eh… A meaningless musical interlude.

>"Not bad Hotaru!" Michiru said with a smile, "For a first try anyway...I can tell you're going to be one of the ones singing up there!"
>
>She blushed a bit as some people turned their attention to them.

Sakura: Yeah. Hotaru has so many miraculous talents.

Syaoran:<Juri Arisugawa> There are no such things as miracles.

Syaoran: What? Did I mess it up?

Tomoyo: No. It was actually a creepily accurate impression, Li-kun.

Kero: That was somewhat disturbing.

Sakura: I hate to ask, Syaoran-kun, but who were your sword instructors?

>"Well everyone back to work you still have three minutes of class," Michiru said and went back to teaching her art class, "Hotaru you may be dismissed" the bell >rang, "Okay…never mind." She said looking at her watch and adjusting the time, "You all may leave."

Hermione:<Michiru> Stupid bell…. Make a fool of me, will you?

>Marissa walked over to her, "That was really good! I'd be real happy if I would be able to accompany your singing with my cello playing." She grinned slightly, >"Even though I'm not all that good at it…"

Syaoran: I think she really is Shinji Ikari.

Sakura:<Marissa> I mustn’t run away… I mustn’t run away…

>Hotaru gave her a slight smile, "Michiru will teach you, don't worry about it…" she waited for Dream to finish putting her things away.
>
>Everyone left their seats and left the classroom, Hotaru waited a while longer and Dream finally walked up to her excitedly.
>
>"Hotaru! I think I'm going to get really good at painting! Ms. Kaiou commented that my tones and uses of colors were really good!" Dream said grinning.

Tomoyo: Hotaru didn’t have the heart to tell her that Michiru was both colorblind and had lousy taste in art.

Hermione:<Dream> Call me Jackson Pollock, baby!

>"That's great Yume! Maybe you'll get your artwork shown and stuff in the concert?" Hotaru said smiling a little.
>
>"…You just called me Yume?" she asked blinking.

Sakura:<Dream> NEVER CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME, FOUL WITCH!!

Syaoran: Woah! Easy there, Sakura-chan!

Sakura: Gomen. I’m better now.

>"Oh…it's just I guess I'm just more comfortable using my first language, which is Japanese."
>
>"…Oh…okay, so you're going to call me by my real name now?" Dream asked.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> No. I’ve decided *I’ll* be the one making up nicknames from here on in.

>Hotaru nodded.
>
>"Okay then…cool I guess at least you pronounce it right! Snape no baka pronounces it 'Yumi' (Pronounced: You me) instead of 'Yume' (Pronounced: You meh)."

Sakura: Speaking of pronunciation and other linguistic quirks, you just said “Snape, you idiot pronounces it…” etc.

>Hotaru laughed a little, "Alright…so I have Star Gazing or something later tonight?"
>
>Yume, who is to be called Yume unless someone such as Snape is talking to her from now on, shook her head,

Syaoran: Oh, great. Now I’m having flashbacks to Lionel Dark’s fic.

Hermione: Eh?

Kero: Don’t ask.

>"No. This evening we have Herbology and then tomorrow you have Star Gazing in the observatory while I'm having my Muggle Studies History class thing but >before that we have Flying classes...you're going to be behind a lot...but you'll get the hang of it. Oh…did I mention I was Slytherin beater?"

Tomoyo:<Yume> I can whip twenty eggs in two minutes flat!

>Hotaru blinked, "…Beater?"

Hermione:<Hotaru> I hardly know her.

>"…Gee…um well…I'll explain once we eat some lunch or something…I'm starved."

Kero:<Yume> Yeah. I’m an excellent driver.

Sakura: Nothing odd about her behavior there.

>Hotaru sweatdropped and they raced to the Great Hall.

Syaoran: On your marks… Get set…

Kero:<imitates gunshot>

>~*~*~*~*
>To be continued!

Sakura: And until then, we’re on break.

>Vale: Whew! That was long! Longest chapter yet!! Wow…I'm doing good! *claps self on back* *whistle* this is the longest I've done a story…I think!

Tomoyo:<Vale> I have this recurring amnesia.

Sakura:<Mutsumi Otohime> Ara? Who am I again?

>Well anyway to all my loyal readers, please review! ^_~
