Disclaimer: Harry Potter and all characters belong to J. K. Rowling. Sailor Moon and all characters belong to whoever they belong to. They are not mine.
A/N: Do note that some of the characters might be OOC, but then again this is my story. I decided to change a few things in the Sailor Moon universe. However, that will be until later chapters. I find this pairing difficult but I will try to keep it as real as possible.

The Potion Master's Wife
Chapter 1: Eyes as Blue as the Sea
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Move along," said the Deputy Headmistress and head of Gryffindor House, to the students standing on the marble staircase.
The crowd of students followed the elderly witch whom had introduced herself earlier as Professor McGonagall.
"Did you hear the news," said Ron Weasley, a red haired boy.
His friends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger looked at him with clueless expressions.
"What news," asked Harry.
"Obviously you haven't," Ron muttered.
"So tell us already," said Hermione.
Ron's freckled face seemed to have suddenly gushed with joy. "We're going to have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!"
"Er—that's good, I guess," said Hermione.
"We have had a different DADA teacher every year since we started at Hogwarts," Harry shrugged. "What's so new about THAT this year?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "It seems that I'm the only excited about not having Professor Snape as the DADA teacher in my last year in Hogwarts."
"Tough luck, we still have him for Double Potions," said Hermione.
Ron's shoulders slumped. "Thanks for ruining my moment," he mumbled.
Harry couldn't agree more with Ron.
They walked through the double doors and into the Great Hall. Ron gave the Slytherin table a glare as they walked past their table. Then they passed the Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs until they reached the Griffindor table on the far side of the hall. As they sat down, Ron placed two hands on his stomach.
"I hope they hurry up with the Sorting," he said.
"Is eating all you can think of," said Hermione.
Ron said something quietly that made Hermione start scolding him.
Harry ignored them and looked up at the staff table. All the seats were filled except for two: one belonging to Professor McGonagall and the other, he assumed, to the new DADA professor. Next to the empty seat that seemed to be reserved for the DADA instructor was Harry least favorite teacher, Professor Snape. Harry could have sworn the potion masters nose had gotten bigger during the summer. Or was it his hair that looked different? Less greasy? Harry tried to get a better look but then Snape turn to say something to Proffesor Sinistra.
"I can't take it no more," Ron whined. He pulled a small stack of Cauldron Cakes from under his robes. The sorting of the first years had begun but it was going to take a while.
"What are you doing," Hermione hissed.
"I'm going to eat them," said Ron.
"I thought you finished them all during the trip," asked Harry.
Ron shrugged and took a quick bite.
"Really, Ron….," Hermione began to scold him.
"What," said Ron, with this mouth full.
Hermione made a disgusted face a concentrated on the Sorting. Once the Sorting was done Dumbledore stood up from his chair.
"Before we begin the feast I would like to take this moment to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," said Dumbledore, cheerfully. The staff began to clap their hands, even Snape, although he continued to look sour.
As if summoned, the Great Hall's double doors opened wide for the newcomer. Heads turned as a figure walked past the doors and into the Great Hall.
It was the most beautiful woman Harry had ever seen.
The new professor smiled shyly as she walked towards the staff table. Despite her shy demeanor she held herself proudly as she past the gawking students. Her hair was a lovely golden color with silver highlights that she kept in the strangest hairstyle Harry had ever seen. It reminded him of meatballs but that was only because he was hungry. She wore light blue robes that hid her figure. Her eyes were the most captivating: eyes as blue as the sea.
When she reached the table she walked to Professor Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear. The old wizard's eyes twinkled. Then the woman took her place next to Professor Snape and to everyone's surprise (mainly the students) he stood up and pulled the seat out for her. The woman smiled and took a seat. Professor Snape had kept his cold expression the entire time but there was something different in his eyes. Professor Usagi said something to him that caused him to give a crooked smile.
Ron who had taken a huge bite from his Cauldron Cake manage to choke a bit.
"Did the ol' git ju' do tha'," he manage to say to Harry.
But Harry wasn't paying attention. His eyes were focused on Professor Snape and the new DADA teacher.
"May I introduce you to Professor Usagi," said Dumbledore.
The Great Hall was filled with applause.
Dumbledore raised his hand to silence them. "It is customary to refer to your professors by their last name, but since TWO Professor Snape's will cause confusion, our new teacher has asked me to allow you guys to call her by her middle name."
Students form every table began to turn to each other in confusion. Some just stared at Dumbledore with awe. Ron was just trying to quickly swallow his snack and Harry almost knew what was coming.
Then Proffesor McGonagall said something to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Forgive me, for I was not clear in informing you," he began. Professor Snape gave him a cold look, but the old wizard chose to ignore it. "I would like to inform the school, that Proffesor Usagi, is Proffesor Snape's….wife."
There was complete silence in the Great Hall….but then, there was Ron's continuous choking.
