Goddess of Sixteen

Chapter Four

Worries.

Charon paced angrily along the docks of Hell. That spoiled brat! How will I ever become King if she's in the way!? Mumbling to himself he taped his bony fingers against his chin in thought. Maybe I could just kill her...no that wouldn't work... the old coot would know it was me... Maybe I could provoke her into using her powers...Charon started to laugh dementedly.

"Shouldn't you be working? There are souls to collect Charon. I hope you're not slacking from your duties."

Charon looked up to see Serenity walking towards him.

"Of course I'm working you insolent little girl. I'm the only one who does around here." He growled back at her. "Now make yourself scarce before I decide to drown you in the river."

"You couldn't hurt me even if you tried." laughed Serenity. She shook her head as she walked away in search of her father. Charon growled and clenched his teeth. One day you little bitch you'll regret ever crossing my path. Charon returned to his dark and dilapidated boat and returned to carrying souls.

...

Shifting her gaze through the forest Serena became nervous. I knew something was wrong. How could I not sense it before? Maybe Hagrid has seen something. As calmly as she could she walked down the stairs towards Hagrid's hut and knocked on the massive wooden door. The door opened to reveal a smiling Hagrid.

"Oh! Allo Miss Serena. What can I do for yeh?" he asked.

"I'm sorry to bother you Hagrid. I was just wondering if you had a moment to talk?"

"Of Course, I've just made some tea would you like a cup?" he smiled.

"That sounds lovely." Replied Serena, following Hagrid through the door and into his hut. Looking around the hut she smiled at how warm the fire was and how for such a small place it seemed quite large on the inside. Hagrid got blue cups from the kitchen cupboard and filled them with piping hot tea. Sitting down at the table he offered a seat to Serena. "Please sit Miss Serena"

"Please just Serena is fine." She smiled.

"So Serena what can I help you with?" Hagrid asked whilst sipping his tea.

"I was just wondering if you had noticed anything strange or out of the ordinary in the forest lately." Serena asked while taking small sips from the large cup. "This tea is delicious Hagrid, thank you."

"Oh you're very welcome Serena and yes I have actually. Now I don't want to sounds crazy or nothin' but I swear the trees are whispering more then usual. It's like there's somethin' in that forest that shouldn't be." said Hagrid. Glancing out the small window towards the forest and frowning.

"Mmm that's what I thought. When I felt the bark of one earlier, it was almost like it was trying to warn me away." said Serena staring down into the tea cup remembering the tingle in her hand. Sighing lifted her head and smiled sadly at Hagrid. "I'll have to keep an eye on that. Thank you so much for the tea Hagrid. It was the best tea I'd ever had." Smiled Serena, getting up from her chair and heading for the door.

"It was my pleasure Serena. I don't get many visitors down ere and it's nice to have some company. So please whenever you feel like it, come and see me." Hagrid smiled as he watched her walkout through the door.

Serena started up the steps towards the castle frowning to herself. I wasn't wrong then. I bet that's where Voldemort is hiding. Hmm looks like a good old fashioned steak out is in order. Stopping half way to the top she sat on a step facing the forest. Wrapping her robe around herself she rested her head on her knees and sat watching the forest. Come on Voldie... show yourself...

...

Three bloody days! Three worried and miserable bloody days.

Draco sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Reaching across the table for more food he grumbled. Three days of not being able to kiss or hug her, let alone talk to her. You'd think Dumbledore would let me but noooo... no one is allowed to speak with her. Draco shoveled more food into his mouth, trying to ignore the incessant whine of Pansy in his ear. All she does is sit on those steps and watch the forest. God she barely eats and I don't think I've seen her sleep much since she sat down. It's a good thing Hagrid is able to convince her to eat or I'm sure she wouldn't be. Grumbling to himself again he ignored Pansy's question and left his seat and headed out of the Great hall towards the common room. Even the teachers a nervous about something. God I hope she doesn't get hurt. Suddenly a loud chars resounded through the castle.

The walls of the castle shook and some students screamed and covered their heads. Dumbledore's voice rumbled over the noise of the students, demanding everyone to stay in their chairs. Draco quickly ran out of the Great Hall and towards the front of the castle to where he heard the crash. Glancing behind him he noticed Dumbledore and several teachers following, as well as Harry, Ron and Hermione who had somehow also snuck out of the Great Hall unnoticed.

Once he got outside he gasped in horror at what he saw. Dozens of dementors were slithering out of the forest and into the sky. Pulling out his wand he got ready for battle just as a bright light flashed before his eyes.

There stood Sailor Cosmos in all her glory ready for a fight.

End

Please review! I won't update unless I have more Reviews. This is a revision! The original I can't access anymore on my old account as Malfoy. The idea for this story started when I was I high school and I have decided to revisit it. Obviously I want it to be longer and better so I appreciate feedback. Once again the idea isn't stolen I just can't get into that account anymore and had to make a new one. Oh and I own nothing. These amazing characters belong to others.

Cheers,

Fl0rid.
