I'm not really sure what the inspiration for this was. I just felt like writing something I guess ha ha. :} I do not think there are going to be any relationships yet, but let me know if you have any suggestions. I'll be putting up chapters as fast as I get them written.
I had intended for this chapter to be longer, but such is life.
Scin·til·la·tion
The act of scintillating.
A spark; a flash.
Astronomy Rapid variation in the light of a celestial body caused by turbulence in Earth's atmosphere; a twinkling.
Physics A flash of light produced in a phosphor by absorption of an ionizing particle or photon.
I do no own Harry Potter or Sailor Moon. If I did I would be much richer than I am now.
Enjoy the story so far.

The woman-child stared at the wreckage in front of her. She couldn't believe it. They were supposed to wait for her. Hold out until she got back.
"No" was heard whispered across this once lush land. "No, no, no" What happened?
She sensed a dark presence, but it was long gone. Instead of breaking down completely like some others would do, she simply allowed a single crystalline tear run down her face, and sank to her knees.
This had to have happened for a reason. They would come back to her. She closed her eyes and put her arms around herself, willing herself to believe it was true.
The strongest woman-child in the universe allowed herself another tear before she spread her energy outward from herself, trying to hone into whatever had done this to her homeland. She followed the trail as it laid waste to several other planets and found it as it landed on a planet in a far off distance sometime in the past and seemed to settle in. She felt a pulse on the star shaped jewel on her forehead and knew that whatever had destroyed her friends was sending out a challenge to her, one she would gladly accept if it meant she would get her loved ones back in the end.

Several billion miles across different universes and time spans, a young-looking woman stepped out of the time gates, her pure silver cape fluttering gently in the wind. She quickly closed the time gate before anything else could get through. With Pluto dead, the job of manning the time gate fell to her. Even though she could call it at will ever since she became Cosmos, it still seemed weird not seeing Setsuna's sober face at the guarding the gate.
She sighed and stepped out of the gate. As her feet touched the ground, she closed the gate to make sure no one got through. Looking around the empty forest she sighed, thinking of home again. "Maybe one day it will be green again" Cosmos whispered.
She shook her head to get herself out of the rut she was in and started walking north. She knew it would not be long before she came along the place she knew she was meant to be.
***
A couple hours later she came to the edge of the forest. There was a magnificently large lake, and a castle in the distance. A field with six large hoops was seen in the distant landscape.
The one whom Pluto promised help should they need it is here. I can sense it, Cosmos thought. I did not think that this world would ever need our help again. I thought that Chaos would have left, but it seems not.
Sensing something was not right in the building in front of her, she started to run across the lake, the water freezing as she stepped onto it and melting as her feet left it.
Cosmos made her cape a dark emerald green as she ran. Her sailor fuku became a long ivory gown. The gown was an elegant v neck cut, with lines of jewels as the straps and running along the v neck along her breasts and under them. There was an intricate design between her breasts, the Ginzuishō in the middle of it all. The dress was ruched throughout the top half of the gown to about the hips, where it flattened out and was just flowing ivory fabric. The back was open, a double line of jewels going from the top of her neck down to the fabric. There were two smaller lines of jewels connecting the bottom half to the fabric. Enough room where she could summon her wings if needed and not interfere with the dress' design. The pulsing star on the center of her forehead disappeared, at least to those she didn't want to see it. She kept the choker with the star on, as well as her heels, rings, and earrings. Her staff had been gone for quite some time, as she only needed it to do her most powerful attacks. She let her hair down and it tucked itself under her emerald cape. Her hair was the same color as it was before, the iridescent color of moon beams. Cosmos pulled the hood of the cape over her head, as she was almost to the door.
As she got closer to the door, she skipped from shadow to shadow. No one would see her if they were to look out the windows, which was astounding as it was almost noon and there weren't that many shadows on the ground. All that scout training finally paid off, Cosmos laughed to herself before her mood became lugubrious once more.
She slowed to a walk as she approached the double oak doors. She halted for a moment and took a deep breath before she threw the doors open with her powers and walked into the Entrance Hall of the castle. Cosmos turned right towards where she sensed she was going to be needed and threw those double doors open with her powers as well.
The students stopped eating and most of the jumped at the bang as the doors were blown open. All of them openly stared at Cosmos as she calmly walked past the silent students. They were no threat to her, and hopefully she no threat to them. Cosmos glanced to the side at a boy with shaggy black hair and green eyes. There was something about him that was off, but she would figure it out later.
She walked down the row towards the table at the head of all the others and stood before the large golden chair and it's occupant, waiting for acknowledgment from him. He stood and bowed to her, his blue eyes twinkling, before he gestured to a door behind the table. She nodded and followed him as he walked into the room behind him.
Well, there you have it. The first chapter of Surreal Scintillation. Please review it and let me know what you think about it. :] There are links to the dress I described on my site. It is my sister's prom dress and it is gorgeous. You have to see it to get the full picture.
Thanks. Hugs and kisses.
