Okay! So here it is my first posting after...geeze who knows how long. As you can see my profile and writing have undergone a change and hopefully matured a bit with me. A lot has happened since I first started writing fanfiction. I apologise to all those who have awaited updates and such forth for my other stories. I am currently no longer studying at college and as such have a lot of free time while filling out practice exams for my Medicine Entry exams in a month. So far they are going well but...fingers crossed. So back to the story! My first Sailor Moon Fanfiction! And a crossover to boot!

Harry Potter and The Eternity Guards
Prolouge: Plots through the sands of Time
Darkness and mist. That was all that surrounded Setsuna Meiou as she stood before her charge, The Gates of Time. Brushing some invisible speck of dust off her black fuku, she stood for a moment watching the mists of time ebb and flow at her ankles, the feet of her knee high black boots buried underneath it all, the white trimming at the top a stark contrast in the darkness. The garnet gem that sat in the tiara atop her head seemed to glow softly as she reached into the very fabric of reality itself to remove her talisman and source of the magic that bound her to this place and to her destiny and duty as the Senshi of Time.
Withdrawing her gloved hand from the seemingly invisible tear in space and reality, she held the staff aloft in her right hand as the mists roiled around her. Few could recognise patterns in the mist and further few were able to pass through the gates themselves without being lost. The staff, seemingly shaped like a giant key, glowed softly in the empty space as though waiting to unlock the secrets of the gates looming above the woman. Grasping her key staff, she took a deep breath, stared once at the purple gem that sat aloft the staff before grabbing it in both hands and slamming it down hard.
The mist swirled as through reaching for her knees before drawing back as she closed her eyes and opened her mind to the tides of time, reaching out to see the twists and turns of probability. She stood before The Gates of Time a silent pillar, examining each thread of what would, could and should be of the future. Around her, the mists grew thicker and deeper still, moving softly as though blown by an invisible breeze. Her emerald hair whirled in the air as the gate its self seemed to whisper its secrets to its guard.
The ribbons to the maroon bows on her chest and back fluttered softly as, frowning, she reached her left hand up to grasp at the garnet heart sitting in the bow on her chest. Her eyes snapped open and the air stilled around her as she leaned against her staff with a sigh. She had existed as Sailor Pluto since the start of The Silver Millennium and had seen many lifetimes come and go. For eons, she had stood a silent guard alone until the rebirth of her current Princess and the remaining senshi and had fought many battles that threatened the rise of the future, of Crystal Tokyo. None, however, had pointed toward or prepared her for what lay ahead.
She stepped away from The Gate and through a tear in space, into a well-lit hall. With barely a thought, she dropped her henshin leaving her standing in a loose fitting red t-shirt, stonewash jeans and open toed sandals. The staff, gone from her hands. The sound of laughter interrupted her brooding and she sighed softly, brushing a strand of green hair behind her ears she moved out of the hall to look at the two young women playing with a black haired child. The woman with short blonde hair was pointing at the tv and muttering, making the child and the woman with shoulder-length aquamarine hair laugh. Yes. Setsuna Meiou had lived many years and seen many battles but none as hard as those that lay ahead and as she leaned against the doorframe of the living room, she hoped silently that the threads of time would be altered before it was too late.

The scales of the python scratched softly against the cold stone as it moved to place itself around his feet. Though he moved to pat the head of Nagini, his attention rested solely on the shadows in front of him as he waited.
"Master I-
"Ssscilence Wormtail!"
The short rat-like man referred to as Wormtail ducked his head and bit his lip to hide the shudder and gasp that threatened to escape. He silently moved behind the high-backed chair and knelt in the shadows trying to make himself as small as possible. Already he regretted giving his master the original report that had lead to the organisation of this meeting.
In the chair sat his master and ruler of the Death Eaters, Lord Voldemort...or what little remained of him. Wrapped in black cloth the small pale deformed child like creature was all that was left of the former Dark Lord of the Wizarding realm. The house in which they sat was as old and decrepit, timber falling from the roof, which allowed the wind to make haunting noises as it whistled through the gaps.
In front of the chair, however, there lay a deep haunting fog that writhed and coiled around the firelight, which lit up the fireplace behind it.
"So, I see you have chosen to listen to my offer' The fog roiled as through to form a face but all that it produced was dark patches in the mist backlit by an inner red glow that gave the effect of someone screaming in agony.
"Do not waste my time, or I assure you it will be the last thing you ever do. I-" The child Dark Lord hissed.
"You are the Dark Lord of the Wizarding Realm, I am aware. I come to offer you the ability to return once more to your former glory and succeed in your...efforts to control the Wizarding world, and end the life of this Harry Potter." The Fog remarked snidely as its voice seemed to be no louder than a whisper yet boomed heavily throughout the house.
"And...what exactly do you want in return? I am not foolisshh enough to believe there will be no price" The Dark Lord waved his hands in the air in a dismissive fashion as if to say he had no interest but his eyes glinted in the firelight as he contemplated the possibility...could it finally be this easy?
"When you finally...obtain your body as planned, I merely wish for your help, to destroy the ones known as 'The Sailor Senshi'." The fog growled softly, not noticing the Dark Lords eyes darken at its casual mention of plan's it was not yet privy to, yet entirely aware of his thoughts.
"And you claim to have the power for thisss to be complete?"
" I am the very Chaos from which your dark magic was born. I. Am. That power."
Wormtail gasped and shivered as the words of power ran throughout the room. The shadows themselves seemed to darken in response to the fog's claim and The Dark Lord felt his magic reach out through his body towards the dark entity. With a soft laugh he reached his small hand out towards the fog that lay in front of him.
"Then...I believe, we have a deal"
Dark thunder rolled overhead and the wind howled, shaking the old shack as the entity known as Chaos gave a wicked smile and grasped Lord Voldemort's hand with a flash of red light. "Yes. Yes we do."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Two Oceans and a Continent away three sets of eyes snapped up as Setsuna Meiou's Fuku flashed into existence. The Garnet Rod laying across her lap to accommodate the fact she was previously kneeling at the coffee table in the small apartment's living room. As her eyes became clear and focused, she gave a quiet sigh and stared down at The Garnet Rod before meeting the frozen glares of Haruka Tenou and Mirichu Kaio.
"It has been done, they have met...the plan...it has begun" She spoke quietly as she grasped the rod once before her fuku glimmered and faded.
"Then we had better get the others prepared...and hope we survive this one" The voice was soft even from the small child that sat beside Setsuna but powerful none the less as Hotaru Tomoe shifted in her seat with a small smile.
Will we survive this one...Setsuna?" Mirichu's voice was musical but worried as her deep aquamarine eyes wavered in sadness.
"I...do not know"
