As the story turns……..
Chapter 7: The Sailor Warrior
4 years later
Entering into their fourth year, Serena and her friends felt more at ease with Hogwarts. They were learning the drill of it all, and their friendship continued to grow.
Although she hung out with Sirius, Remus, James and a boy named Peter Pettigrew from time to time, her friendship with Lily and Severus still remained strong. There was still much tension between the Slytherin and the other Gryffindors, but they decided to overlook their differences due to that they all wanted to be around Serena.
Every once and awhile, flashbacks would still come to Serena, but they were happening less often, and Serena put the strange occurrences in the back of her mind. That is until something extraordinary happened.
"Lily! Can you help me with this potions paper?"
"No, Serena, you have to do it on your own or you will never learn anything!"
"You're so mean, why won't you help me? You're supposed to be my best friend."
"And as your best friend I am telling you to learn it yourself!"
"But you always help James when he needs you."
Lily's face turned blood red. "That is none of your concern."
"You like him don't you?"
"N…no. What makes you say that?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Meatball head!"
"Oh God, not him again." Serena mumbled.
The four Marauders made their way over to the two girls. Sirius, as always, affectionately tapped Serena on the head, while she, as always, glared at him.
"Don't look so mean." Sirius said with a pout. "I'm starting to think you hate me."
Serena's face lit up in surprise. "Wow, you're smarter than I thought."
It took Sirius only a second to realize what she was saying before he screamed, "Hey!"
Serena only giggled in response, and Sirius could not go on acting offended. He loved it when she smiled like that.
Serena only ignored the look that Sirius was giving her. She knew very well that he had had a crush on her since second year, but she only saw him as a friend. He was a real nice guy, well sometimes, but right now she was still a girl, in her eyes. Serena focused back on her potions paper while the others spoke with Lily. It wasn't long before Serena gave up in frustration.
"Gah! I can't concentrate on this! I'm going outside." Serena quickly made her way out of the common room before anyone could say anything.
She walked outside and noticed that the sun was setting. It was a beautiful day today, and she had been inside for most of it working on that stupid potions paper. She really hated that class. She never got it. Now Defense Against the Dark Arts, that was an interesting class. Professor Meiou was really good, and she let everyone have fun.
The Professor looked very young, but something told Serena that there was more to her. It was as if she knew her, and sometimes the way the Professor looked at her…she could swear that she knew her too.
Serena took in a deep breath as the moon appeared. She knew she needed to go inside, but she enjoyed gazing at the moon. Every time she looked at it, she felt like she was at home.
"Serena!"
Serena was shaken out of her daze by Severus. He was approaching her rather quickly; probably wondering what she was doing out here so late.
"Hey Severus."
"What are you doing?" He asked as he approached her.
"Oh nothing. I needed a break from some homework, so I just decided to come out here and clear my head. What about you?"
"I needed a break from the Slytherin common room. Lucius Malfoy is on one of his rants again about pure bloods."
Serena's face turned sour at the mention of his name. Malfoy. He was in their year, and he acted as if he were ruler of the entire school. He was handsome to be sure, but Serena hated his attitude.
"Well, good." Serena responded. "I don't think you should hang around them anyway. There is something about him and his friends that just doesn't settle with me."
Silence surrounded them before Severus asked, "What homework has you stuck?"
Serena chuckled. "You shouldn't even ask that; you know very well what it is."
"Potions?" He asked with a laugh.
"Yes, of course."
Severus gave her a look before Serena said, "Look, not all of us can be geniuses alright. You and Lily make me sick."
"Ah, if that is the case, why do you still hang around us?"
"You know what, I don't know. I guess I'll have to remedy that won't I?" And Serena began to walk away.
"Well, that's fine." Severus called out to her. "I guess I'll just take this extra copy of my potions paper back to my room."
Serena's face lit up. She turned back to Severus with a huge smile plastered on her face. "I don't know what you're smiling about. You just said you didn't want to be my friend."
"I didn't say that, Severus!" Serena whined. She then put on her best puppy dog eyes and said, "Please."
Yep, he melted. He pulled out the paper and handed it over to her.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Severus blushed at the contact as he hugged her back lightly.
Serena gave him one last smile before she said, "I better go work on it. Thanks again Severus! You're the best!"
She ran inside without another word spoken.
As she walked down the hallways back to the Gryffindor common room, something made her stop. She closed her eyes as she felt a very strong presence nearby. She couldn't place what it was; all she knew was that it was something she had never felt.
Before she could even register what it was, Serena was sent flying across the hallway, only to slam into a wall; knocking down a few pictures in the process.
When Serena opened her eyes, she nearly fainted at what she saw. A monster was standing right in front of her. It looked as if it was ready to strike again, but Serena could not move. She couldn't even think straight.
The monster moved toward her, and Serena had accepted that this was it, until a purple light came flying at the monster; throwing it to the other side of the hall.
Serena's eyes blinked rapidly. It was the same light that she had seen four years ago. She looked up to where the source came from, and she found herself looking at a very tall woman with long green hair. She was carrying a staff, and wearing what looked like a sailor outfit.
"Who are you?" Serena asked in a very shaky voice.
The woman looked at her…sadness written in her face. "I had hoped that this day would never come, but it seems like nothing can ever be avoided."
"What?" Serena asked in confusion.
"Your wand." Serena pulled out her wand and noticed that it was glowing.
"What's happening?"
"That wand is the essence of the Silver Crystal. It is glowing because its time has come again; your time has come again. You must reawaken the warrior within you. Raise your wand in the air and say Moon Crystal Power!"
"Why?" The monster began to stir once more, and Serena's eyes were immediately drawn to it. She was trying to figure out if this was a dream or not. What was this woman talking about; who was she?
"There is no time to think Princess. You must hurry!"
It felt as something had been revived in Serena as she did what the woman said.
"Moon Crystal Power!!!"
Light formed around the young girl, and soon she was standing in a similar outfit to the woman in front of her.
"Oh my…what's going on?" Serena asked in a panicked voice.
"Do not be afraid, Princess." The warrior held her staff high, and allowed a new light to envelop the girl. "Allow time to rewind; memories of the past—rewritten."
Soon a flood of memories and flashbacks entered into Serena's mind. She cried out as she clutched her head. Her heart felt as if was breaking a million times over as she relived her painful past. Soon she felt a burning on her forehead, and her eyes shot to the ceiling.
She knew who she was. For a moment, she said nothing. Tears streamed down her face; her heart was beating with agony, but soon she came back to reality, and her eyes settled on the woman.
"Pluto." She said softly, a small smile formed on her face.
The woman smiled at her, before they were once again disturbed by the monster.
"Youma!" Serena yelled as the monster charged towards Pluto, grabbing a hold of her by the throat.
"Moon Tiara Action!" The monster's arms were severed from their hold. Serena caught her returning Tiara and placed in back on her forehead.
"How dare you attack my friend and loyal companion, and how dare you disturb this peaceful school! I am Sailor Moon! The Champion of Justice, and I am back with a vengeance! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"
The monster charged towards the Moon Warrior before Pluto attacked once again.
"Pluto Deadly Scream!"
The monster was thrown to the wall once again, and Serena held out her hand. Her old Moon Scepter formed in her hand. She held it high and screamed, "Moon Princess Escalation!"
The monster screamed before it destroyed.
Serena gave a small smile before she said, "Moon Dust" in a small voice. She turned back to Pluto, a sad expression written on her face. "It's happening again, isn't it?"
