   > Oh you might belong in Gryffindor,   
      
   FRANK  : That sounds like the beginning of a really filthy   
   limerick.   
      
   > Where dwell the brave at heart.   
   >   
   > Their daring, nerve and chivalry   
   >   
   > Set Gryffindor apart.   
      
   TRACE  : o/~ That and their intense personal stupidity! o/~   
      
   > -Part of the Sorting Hat's song, Year 1   
   >   
   > Jupiter hardly knew what to make of her situation.   
      
   JOEL   : Join the club!   
      
   > She was so excited.   
   >   
   > She watched as the train streamed past fields on its way to   
   > Hogwarts. This was it, they were on their way!   
      
   JOEL   : o/~ We're on our way to the perfect place! o/~   
   ALL    : o/~ The perfect plaaaaace! o/~   
      
   > She nervously practised the few spells she'd learned, using her   
   > wand (Maple, Dragon Heartstring, 8 1/2 inches)   
      
   JOSH   : Didn't care about that the first time.  Care even less   
   now.   
      
   > to make her henshin stick float in the air using Wingardium   
   > Leviosa.   
      
   FRANK  : [Jupiter, flatly] What fun.  Whee.   
      
   > The Senshi were spread out over three compartments. The outers had   
   > a compartment to themselves. The four inners had one to   
   > themselves, and Sailormoon and Chibimoon were with Harry, Ron and   
   > Hermione.   
      
   MARY JO: There a week and already in their own separate cliques.   
   Sad, really.   
      
   >  All had put on their Hogwarts robes before stepping onto Platform   
   > 9 3/4. Several students had timidly stopped by the Inner's   
   > compartment to say hello and probably to check with their own eyes   
   > that the Senshi were really on the train.   
      
   JOEL   : [Usagi] What's a "morphimagi" and why does everyone keep   
   asking us if we're one?   
      
   >  They hadn't seen hide nor hair of Draco Malfoy,   
      
   FRANK  : And he'll keep it that way, [darkly] if he knows what's   
   good for him.   
      
   > but Jupiter suspected that that was because word had spread down   
   > the train which compartment which Senshi were in. If he was as   
   > interested in Chibimoon as she thought, then he would head   
   > straight to her compartment.   
      
   TRACE  : Followed by o/~ Draco's got a girlfriend! o/~ everywhere   
   he went.   
      
   >  Jupiter set her henshin stick back down and sighed. Mercury put   
   >  on   
   > her sunglasses, prompting the other Senshi to do the same. She'd   
   > done this spell several times before now.   
      
   JOSH   : As far as they knew.  Such was the power of Meninblackus   
   Brainflashus.   
      
   > "Lumos!" she yelled, illuminating the tiny compartment. The senshi   
   > took off their sunglasses and smiled to one another.   
      
   MARY JO: Forced smiles all around!   
      
   > That was better than Mercury's first try, in which the light at   
   > the tip of her wand (Holly, Unicorn Hair, 10 1/4 inches)   
      
   ALL    : She's LONG!   
      
   >  had fizzled out. Venus decided to go next. She 'accidentally' sat   
   > on her sunglasses and pulled the mangled wreck from beneath her.   
   > She tapped them with her wand, muttering "Reparo".   
   >   
   > The glasses fixed, she put them back on and grinned.   
      
   FRANK  : YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH!   
      
   > "I think we're getting good at this."   
   >   
   > There was a knock at the door and a round faced boy stuck his head   
   > in.   
      
   ALL    : [A la "NOOORM!"] NEVILLE!   
      
   > "Have any of you seen Trevor?" he asked. "He's my toad. He got   
   > away from me again."   
   >   
   > All the Senshi shook his head.   
      
   TRACE  : That sounds kinda kinky.   
   JOEL   : [Neville] Is this how you greet people in Japan?   
      
   > Mars smiled kindly.   
      
   MARY JO:  I suppose they have special needs students everywhere.   
      
   > "Why don't you try a summoning spell?"   
      
   JOEL   : {Neville] Because it would probably fail horribly?   
      
   > The boy's face lit up. "Yeah, I could!" He pulled out his wand and   
   > rolled up his sleeves.   
      
   JOSH   : Unfortunately, in his enthusiasm, he summoned Meteor and   
   destroyed England..   
      
   > "Accio Trevor!" he said. In a few moments, he heard a croak behind   
   > him and he turned as his bewildered toad floated down the hallway   
   > of the train.   
      
   TRACE  : [Trevor] Why? Why?  I was free, damn you! Free! Ribbit!   
      
   > He took him out of the air and turned gratefully to Sailormars.   
   >   
   > "Thanks! I'm Neville Longbottom, by the way!"   
      
   JOEL   : [Neville] Thank you for not laughing!   
      
   >  He stepped into the compartment and shook each of the Senshi's   
   > hands. He backed out nervously.   
   >   
   > "I'd better get back to my own compartment."   
   >   
   > "Yes, Longbottom, go," a cold voice drawled. "You're blocking our   
   > way."   
      
   JOSH   : Incoming ferret boy...   
      
   > Sailormars' eyes narrowed. She recognised the voice. Neville   
   > whimpered   
      
   ALL    : [make whimpering puppy noises]   
      
   > and backed back into the Senshi's compartment. He tripped and fell   
   > backwards onto the floor. As the Senshi hastened to help them up,   
      
   JOEL   : [Neville] Thank you for not laughing, again!   
      
   >  they all looked up in hatred at Draco Malfoy, who now possessed   
   > none of the charm and kindness he had put on to Chibimoon. He   
   > sneered at Neville.   
      
   MARY JO: [Draco] I'll still be hotter than you in the last movie.   
      
   > "Squib. Come on Crabbe. Come on, Goyle." He snorted and left them.   
   >   
   > "I am really beginning to not like him," Jupiter said. Neville   
   > sighed and stood.   
      
   FRANK  : He bugs me!  That guy really bugs me!   
      
   > "He's always like that...thanks again for helping with Trevor."   
   >   
   > "Anytime, Neville," Mars said, smiling. "By the way, what house is   
   > Draco in?"   
      
   TRACE  : [Neville]  Waffle.  I'm in International Pancakes.   
      
   > "Oh, Malfoy?" Neville said. "He's in Slytherin. I'm in   
   > Gryffindor." He smiled and almost tripped as he waved goodbye and   
   > headed down the train. Venus glanced around.   
   >   
   > "I guess we know what house to try to avoid, then."   
      
   JOSH   : And guess who punched a one-way ticket to the Snake Den?   
      
   > "Firs' years an' Senshi this way!" Boomed Hagrid's voice. "Oy!   
   > Chibimoon, y' alrigh' there?"   
   >   
   > "I'm fine," Chibimoon called out as she had tripped and fell on   
   > the platform.   
      
   MARY JO: [Chibimoon]  I have an actual name, you know!   
      
   > Draco smiled warmly at Chibimoon.   
      
   JOEL   : That just seems wrong somehow!   
   JOSH   : Draco smiling warmly or Draco smiling warmly at someone   
   who can't be older than twelve?   
   JOEL   : Yes.   
      
   > "I'll see you at the feast after you're sorted. Hope to see you in   
   > Slytherin," and with that he walked away.   
      
   MARY JO: Anybody else need a shower?   
      
   > Hagrid led them to the lake, and across it. The lake was placid as   
   > could be, and the many turrets and towers of Hogwarts sparkled in   
   > the moonlight. Sailormoon looked up at her home.   
   >   
   > "Kami-sama," she said softly. "Guide us here."   
      
   FRANK  : [God] No.  You should've stayed in Japan.   
      
   > When the Senshi were led into the Great Hall with the first years,   
   > they joined the collective gasp that went up from the nervous new   
   > students. It was so beautiful!! And the people...   
      
   TRACE  : Were the opposite of beautiful.
