   JOSH   : You die.  Next?   
      
   > -Open your heart, Supersonic theme.   
      
   FRANK  : "Play 'Freebird!'", Drunk redneck theme.   
      
   > "Very good, Sailormoon!" Angela called out as she made yet another   
   > very good save.   
      
   MARY JO: [Angela] But seriously; shouldn't we be calling you   
   "Usagi" at this point?   
   JOEL   : We're not going to let that name thing go, are we?   
   TRACE  : We will when Ms. Hoshiko does.   
      
   > "I think you have a natural talent for this game!"   
      
   FRANK  : o/~ You'll play some quiddich! o/~   
   ALL    : o/~ You'll play some quiddich! o/~   
   FRANK  : o/~ You have a talent for all things inane! o/~

   > "I'm not all that good," she said softly. Harry landed next to   
   > her.   
   >   
   > "But you are, Sailormoon," he said, thoroughly enthused. "With a   
   > little coaching, you could probably play for the national team!"   
      
   JOEL   : [Harry]  The Japanese national team, mind you.  But still!   
      
   > "National?" Sailormoon's eyes widened. "I'm that good?"   
      
   JOEL   : [Harry] Again - Japanese national team.  There's levels to   
   "that good."   
      
   > "Of course you are!" Kate said from her position of hovering a few   
   > feet above them. Angela clapped her hands, bringing everyone to   
   > the ground.   
   >   
   > "I think this is all for today's practice. I'm no Oliver Wood, but   
   > I think I've trained you all hard enough."   
      
   MARY JO: [Usagi] I don't know what that means!   
      
   > Sailormoon had to agree. She was sweating very heavily as she left   
   > the stadium. She looked to her side. Chibiusa was running with   
   > Gohan towards the school. Wait. With Gohan???   
      
   JOSH   :  [Usagi]  Chibiusa being happy?  Not on my watch, buddy!   
      
   > Mounting her broom, she flew over to them.   
   >   
   > "So, wait. Mamo-chan is here?"   
      
   TRACE  : [Usagi] Screw everything else - is Mama getting some   
   lovin' tonight?   
      
   > Gohan nodded. He was facing Professor Dumbledore, who was behind   
   > his desk in his office. He was also flanked by the Sailorsenshi.   
      
   FRANK  : If they're out on the grounds, how is he nodding toward...   
   And how can they see... And OW MY BRAIN!   
      
   > "All the guys are, including Rajura-kun. They want to be nearby in   
   > case they're needed or in case-" he cut himself off quite abruptly   
   > and flushed slightly.   
   >   
   > "In case what?" Venus asked softly. Gohan sighed.   
      
   JOEL   : [Gohan] In case of booty calls, alright?   
      
   > "There's no pattern to the attacks…" he murmured. Uranus' eyes   
   > widened a bit.   
   >   
   > "They're afraid one of the Senshi will become a victim." She said   
   > softly. Gohan nodded silently. Dumbledore gave a wry smile.   
      
   MARY JO: For that matter, why has the Whatever It Is not attacked   
   one of the faculty or the Senshi.  If it can take down Peeves, one   
   thinks it could handle an adult wizard or a magical girl or two.   
   JOSH   : Sticking with the previous answer: "Because."   
      
   > "While I appreciate your coming here to help, I, quite frankly, am   
   > at a loss as to what to do with you. I'd let you stay, however, we   
   > are into the school year at this point and I do not think the   
   > Sorting Hat would appreciate it," he gestured towards the faded   
   > wizard's hat sitting on the shelf behind him. Gohan sighed.   
      
   FRANK  : So no guest housing? Temporary digs on the grounds, cots   
   in an unused classroom, just stuffing them in whatever dorm rooms   
   they have to spare, sorting be damned?  None of those are options?   
   It's "get sorted" or "get stuffed?"   
      
   > "Well, the guys want to be closer, they say Diagon Alley's too far   
   > for them."   
      
   TRACE  : If only they had some of magic that could move them from   
   place to place quickly!   
      
   > Dumbledore thought from behind his half-moon spectacles. He smiled   
   > and turned to the Senshi.   
      
   JOEL   : [Dumbledore] Yeah, I got nothing.   
      
   > "I do believe that Hogsmeade has a nice inn, and it is far enough   
   > from Hogwarts so as not to interfere with any Muggle electrical   
   > equipment."   
      
   JOSH   : [Dumbledore] Powering said equipment, however?  You're on   
   your own, Bucko!   
      
   > Mercury brightened. "That's a great idea, Professor!"   
      
   MARY JO: [Dumbledore] Damn right it is!   
      
   > "Then it's settled," he said, standing. He turned to Gohan. "I   
   > will send an owl to the keeper of the Three Broomsticks to arrange   
   > for some rooms. I'll leave Hagrid to show you the way this   
   > weekend. And you girls will want to get ready for dinner, won't   
   > you?"   
   >   
   > Shou whistled. "Nice place. I'm hungry."   
      
   FRANK  : One of these times, they're gonna change scenes   
   mid-sentence.   
      
   > "So what else is new?" Touma asked teasingly as he set his bags   
   > down. It was Friday evening, two days since they'd received   
   > Gohan's message from Professor Dumbledore. Touma began to set up   
   > the computer equipment as Seiji unpacked their things. He knew   
   > Ami-chan would want to look over the data when she came with the   
   > rest of the Hogwarts students the next day. Ami-chan…only a month   
   > and already he was going stir crazy without her.   
      
   JOSH   : Yeah... Dial back the blue ballage, Humbert.   
      
   > If this youma hadn't shown up,   
      
   TRACE  : Because calling it "that thing" doesn't sound exotic   
   enough.   
      
   > he didn't know what he'd have done without her. Still…it had to be   
   > disheartening for the Senshi, not to have even a normal year as   
   > witches.   
   >   
   > He shook his head. It couldn't be helped. All he could hope for   
   > now was a quick resolve so Ami-chan could get back to her studies.   
      
   JOEL   : [Touma] And I can get back to cradle-robbing!  Aw, yeah!   
      
   > Hermione gasped as Sailorvenus-no, not Sailorvenus, Minako came   
   > down the stairs in her Hogwarts robes. She looked up, startled at   
   > her expression.   
      
   MARY JO: [Calling out] Hey; can we get a load of cervical collars   
   down here?  The scene changes are giving us actual whiplash!   
      
   > "What?"   
   >   
   > "You're not transformed!" she squeaked. Minako grinned.   
      
   FRANK  : ...And?   
      
   > "Oh, that. Well, my fiancé is at Hogsmeade. As much as he loves   
   > me, I'm sure he'd rather see Aino Minako instead of Sailorvenus   
   > given the circumstances."   
   >   
   > Hermione opened her mouth to respond, but cut herself off when she   
   > heard a series of loud thuds come from the girl's dormitory, then   
   > a sort of rumbling descending down the stairs. It culminated in   
   > Usagi landing in the commonroom, tangled in her own hair. As the   
   > commonroom exploded with laughter, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Minako
