Hermione, Lavender, and Ginny, sat at the empty table in the great hall. During Christmas time they usually opted to leave, but each with their various reasons they didn't want to disclose to others, remained in the almost unbearably empty castle. Harry had gone with Ron who, like nearly everyone else at school, went home.

There seemed to be only a people scattered about the Great Hall; in fact the only ones they knew were surprisingly Cho and Pansy. Both always seemed so eager to return to their own manors and neither of them wanted to talk to anyone else at the moment.

The feelings were mutual.

Cho was still hung up on Harry and hated Hermione and any of his other female friends with a passion and Pansy was just another stick-up-the-ass-Sylterin. So the girls sat and did nothing which was the routine for the past three lonely days.

The mail came in as it usually did and fell right into the plate of a bacon of the Gryffindor table as usual. However, instead of the usual present from home or a fashion magazine, there were four unusual letters addressed to each of the girls.

Hermione picked up hers and opened it up without a second thought. Inside it read, "Come to the edge of the forbidden forest as soon as possible. I have urgent news to discuss with you. Tell no one of this letter or the meeting." She looked up to see that a look of confusion was on the other three.

"What's wrong?" She asked, unconcerned, but feeling that it was only polite. Inside she was rolling her eyes over the fact that the problem probably wasn't worse then a silly little fight with a boyfriend.

"Some jerk is trying to play a joke or something and told me to go to the forbidden forest,"Ginny replied somewhat annoyed, with a hint of fright. She knew that it was probably Fred and George waiting to test a new rocket out and wanted to scare her in the process.

"You got one, too?" Lavender asked, wide-eyed and racking her brains for any information that she might have learned from Professor Trelawney that might explain what sign this held.

The other two nodded in union to her.

The letters weren't signed and after further inspection, they couldn't mentally match the handwriting to any person they might know.

"Lets go ahead and go see what's going on, though I really think it's just some little prank of my brothers' or some other idiot's with nothing else to do, " Ginny sounded slightly like Hermione in this statement.
With just a nod from each, they got up and walked out. No one knew them personally or the simply didn't care, and so did not give them a second thought as they left.

When they got outside, they could see two figures walk into the forest but it was too far away to tell who they were. In silence they walked across the lawn and stood at the edge of the forest. There, by the roots of a tree, was Hermione's ginger cat, Crookshanks. She gave a little meow, turned while giving them a single look over the shoulder before she sprinted into the forest. The girls looked to one another and set off after her.

They ran, panting to keep up with the cat that could quickly jump over roots and scurry under scrubs unlike the girls who had to pick their way through thorny underbrush.

"What are they doing here?" Lavender scoffed when she saw that Crookshanks had led them to a clearing about 20 yards in where Pansy and Cho stood glaring at each other and at them.

"I'd like to know that!" Pansy said her up turned nose turned further up with each word while she shifted her death-stare from Cho to Hermione and the others.

"I can explain that," said a curt voice from below.

"Now I've seen everything,"Ginny said as she stared at Crookshanks who was now accompanied by Cho's gray tabby, Alcatraz.

"Holy shit!" Hermione and Cho both shouted, " I didn't know you could talk!"

"There are many things you don't know," retorted Alcatraz.

"Like that you five are warriors who fight evil and are the only ones that can defeat the Dark Lord," Crookshanks added while gesturing with a furry paw to four pens and brooch that lay before her, "Each of you pick the one that you want and we'll explain the rest."

After they stood back up they held in each their hands the items that once lay on the ground; Cho held on to a pen with the symbol for the Jupiter, Pansy picked up a pen with the Venus symbol, Lavender grabbed the Mars pen, Ginny reached for the Mercury pen, and Hermione grasped the brooch with a crescent moon upon it.

"Now Crookshanks, do the rest," ordered the gray tabby who received a gentle reminder of a claw not to be so bossy.

With his words a moon appeared upon the ginger cat's forehead and surrounded the girls with light. When the light dissipated the girls nearly collapsed as they contemplated what they had just learned.

They were the Sailor Scouts, defenders of the Universe and now that Voldermort was too powerful for even Professor Dumbledore to face, they were to conquer him and restore peace.

"I thought Harry-," Hermione was cut off by Alcatraz.

"Was supposed to defeat the Dark Lord. Yeah, he did in essence, once. What was never said is that he would rise again differently. This new, stronger version is not the one that Harry survived many years ago."

Crookshanks closed her eyes before she continue her counterpart's explanation.

Finally she said, "Voldermort changed fate by attacking Harry as he did. Harry Potter wasn't even the chosen one. It was Neville Longbottom, but when Voldermort went after Harry and failed, he destroyed his physical existence almost completely and when he rose again two years ago, he was not the same Voldermort that was spoken of."

"You girls must stop him now. He has become so power hungry. No normal magic can defeat him," Alcatraz whispered dangerously, "If you don't he'll destroy the whole wizarding world and the muggle world. Purebloods are in danger, too."

"When he is done here, he'll go after the rest of the universe,"Crookshanks cried, "You have to work together to stop him because if you don't..."

Without any other explanation, the two cats ran back to the castle after leaving behind five watch-communicators. The girls picked these up and put them on, knowing almost everything from the memories that had been unlocked.

Ginny was the first one to break the silence, "I guess we should all meet again sometime, like tomorrow at the um...library at this time."

The others nodded and off they went, trudging through the undergrowth, back to the castle.

It was unspoken, but each knew something -no! Everything had changed.

A/n: I've already written a version of this with an old screen name that I can no longer get into because I can't find the password so I'm posting a revamped version. I also know that some of you think Hermione would be better as Mercury. Well I'm going to play with characters a little bit because this is a Fan fiction and I can do that.

When you review vote who should be with Hermione. Choices are Snape, Harry, Sirius (I'm going to bring him back to life so beware), Draco, or Lupin. If no one votes then I choose. Tell me now what you want me to fix because it's going to get harder and harder to do that as I go on.
