Serena and Severus Snape spent a blissful two weeks on the moon. Rarely leaving their bedroom but when they did they usually ended up in a heap on the floor or wall or whatever surface was available. They had scared the new tribe of mermaids that had taken up residence in the lake in front of the castle with their screams; all in all it was exactly as each deserved. Though they didn't spend all their time at play there were interludes albeit brief of feasting and talking getting to know each other. Severus told her about his mother whom he had loved deeply but also resented for her inability to protect him from his drunkard father. Serena confessed that always bucked against the constraints placed against her by her friends and family the expectations to be the perfect princess leader daughter which is why as Usagi she played the klutzy crybaby so long. Each day brought them closer together but both worried about what was happening in the Earth below them how their friends were faring. Often Severus would catch Serena staring at the Earth a look of the worry on her face.

"Do you want to go back?" He asked after one such time.

"No, I don't and it scares me." Serena's words were whispered as if it were some harsh confession.

"Why should that scare you?" Was she regretting the things that had taken place between them he wondered?

"Because this is perfect, these past two weeks have been the happiest days of any of my lives and I want to stay here with you in our little paradise forever but I know my duty is to kill Darien and save the Earth but going back will end this" Serena gestured towards Severus and then herself. "It will be war and we won't be able to be like these happy and carefree. I'll miss your smile I guess." Severus put his arms around his wife resting his head in hair and breathing in the scent of her.

"Yes it will be war when we go back but this us will not end. You're my wife and I will not stop loving you making love to you or smiling. Simply because I couldn't stop if I tried you have changed me given me hope that I never thought I could have hope for a future. So the castle will have to get used to the new smiling Severus. Unless it's in class and those imbecilic dunderheads blow up my cauldrons or ask inane questions or don't do the reading." Severus scowled at the thought. His scowl more than anything reassured Serena. She didn't want him to change she fell in love with him as a snarky bastard and she wanted him to stay that way. If he could still scowl and call students names that she knew in essentials he was still the Severus she loved since her first year.

"The only difference will be where our shared rooms are and how strong the silencing spells on them are because I have plans for you Mrs. Snape."

"Open your eyes" Severus commanded her when pleasure caused her to shut them. "Look at the Earth we have to go back but this is why we fight." As he said this he plunged into her causing her body to surge forward. She cried out his hands on her hips bruising but the pain kept her grounded kept her soul from simply flying from her body in sheer pleasure

As Severus and Serena enjoyed their honeymoon Voldemort had been making plans. It had been only 10 days since Serena's warning but he refused to give her the satisfaction of knowing he took her threat seriously. She would regret her words yes he would make her suffer in the best way he knew how.

"Is everything ready?" he asked Perseus Parkinson one of the few Death Easters still alive from the inner circle. For that to Serena would pay his following had decreased rapidly he had to resort to recruiting in Albania and from the most crass followers whose blood was so inbred they were barely wizards at all.

"Yes we've had people scouting the castle the easiest one to get to is the Weasley woman. The children are never allowed out and no one is dumb enough to go after Dumbledore or McGonagall for an old broad she's vicious."

"Ah good that is better than I had hoped for. Rei always had a crush on me I could use this to my advantage bring her to me at once."

Molly Weasley walked to Hogsmead grateful for the time alone. Living with 7 kids Molly was well used to crowds but adding nearly 400 people to a castle no matter how big was bound to feel crowded. She relished the wind on her face and sun in her hair and she needed time to think. When Serena had healed Arthur like with Severus she had healed him to well, he now looked closer to 30 than the 55 years he was. She had never regretted giving up her near immortality and perpetual youth until that moment. It was very difficult looking like a 56 year old mom of 7 kids when your husband looked in his prime. Dear Arthur hadn't changed he still looked at her with the same love filled eyes he always did but she felt the differences in their ages acutely. Molly was so deep in thought she didn't notice she was being surrounded until it was too late.

"Stupefy" the last thing Molly saw before she succumbed to darkness was Voldemort's smirking face.

Voldemort sneered staring at Molly Weasley's prone body. Stupid woman had given up her power her youth her beauty for this. Pudgy round faced ginger haired house witch. He knelt next to her laying one hand on her heart the other on her head and closed his eyes calling forth the power of the Golden Crystal. It took longer than it used to and he could feel his energy waning but he pushed on. After several minutes he was done and Voldemort collapsed in a heap staring at his handiwork. Yes this will hurt her much.

Serena was enjoying another day in the arms of her husband when she felt the urgent call. She jumped nearly falling over in her haste.

"Serena what is it?" Severus asked his face concerned.

"Trista is calling me she is panicked we must go at once." Severus nodded quickly and taking only seconds to transfigure them both robes he held out his hand. Serena smiled at the absolute trust in that gesture. She teleported them to Albus's office that was full to bursting.

"What has happened?" She asked immediately.

"Mums gone missing she went to Hogsmead to pick up some things and never made it. We talked to Rosemerta and Aberforth they didn't see her." Charlie told her his eyes red he held out the famous Weasley clock for all to see all of the names were pointing to the at school except Molly's that was pointed to mortal peril.

"We're going to find her I promise. If Voldemort has her she is worth more to him alive. He knows I'll do anything to save my friends."

"Now see here you are not to go giving your life up for anyone." Severus interrupted causing the Weasley's in the crowd to bluster.

"Our mum isn't just anyone and she was one of Serena's scouts she owes her." Ginny shouted her brown eyes fierce.

"That is where you are wrong little Weasley. Your mother abandoned her sacred duty Serena owes her nothing." Severus sneered at the girl. The miniature Weasley always bothered him. She was to fierce to loud to similar to another red head Severus once knew.

"We are not arguing about this Molly is my friend I will save her." Serena glared at her new husband apparently the honeymoon phase was over.

"I would never ask you not to save Molly. I know what she means to you. I only ask that you not rush off and offer your life. They may be other alternatives. Allow me us to help you. You're not alone anymore I am here. We are equal partners you don't have to shoulder all the burdens alone. I know how much you took on yourself. Even with your scouts and Darien" Severus spat the name. "It was always you who shouldered the burden who took responsibility who ended the fight alone. Not anymore I will not leave your side." Serena jumped in his arms kissing him deeply. OK so maybe the honeymoon phase wasn't over yet.

Screams erupted from the castle causing Serena to break apart from Severus and run. The Dark Mark was hovering over Hogsmead. Ginny started to cry and Ron ran screaming.

"Mum that bastard killed her Mum!" He shouted tears streaming down his red face. Harry held him back but Ron was taller and stronger he wrestled away from his grip and ran towards Hogsmead wand out. Serena grabbed his arm.

"Stop she's not dead I would have felt it." The red head calmed at her words and they all walked as a group towards Hogsmead. Harry and Hermione flanked Ron by unspoken command from Serena. Voldemort and several hooded Death Eaters waited for them in the village.

"Ah back from the honeymoon so soon." Voldemort said with a sneer.

"Where's Molly Fucktard?"

"Molly Weasley is no more." Ron screamed and ran towards Voldemort who sent a cutting curse at the boy.

"Liar, you think I wouldn't know when my scout was dead, that her soul would not alert me. I am guardian of cauldron Ass clown all souls pass through me I would know if she no longer lived." Serena longed to wipe the smirk from his snake face. She wished she could hit him with a chair or a chain saw.

"Ah you always were too literal Serena. I did not say that your scout was dead only that Molly was no more. Bring the prisoner forward." He motioned to the Death Eater on his left who brought a hooded figure to the front. When they pulled off her hood Serena gasped.

"What did you do?" She screamed charging at Voldemort she hit a wall and landed on her ass. "I will kill you Darien make no mistake. Your double penises will hang on my wall as a warning to those who think to hurt my friends." Voldemort only smiled.

"You could save her. Trade your life for hers. Or you could give her back her magic. She's so very helpless without it." He pulled the woman towards him his pale hands groping her body. Arthur screamed beside her.

"Serena please help me what's going on. My powers don't work. I don't know where I am."

"Don't worry Rei it's going to be ok. I will save you I promise." The raven haired girl stared at her friend her eyes begging her to help. She was so lost so confused. She couldn't access her powers whatever that monster had done had rendered her helpless she couldn't even transform.

"Molly, honey don't worry we'll figure this ok." A strange red haired man stood beside Serena his face was familiar but Rei couldn't place it. He was handsome for an older guy with thick red hair and smiling blue eyes.

"Well we must be going now." Voldemort apparated away, taking Rei with him.

"Fuck Fuck son of a Fucking Bitch. That cunt bucket I'll kill the motherfucking evil bastard." Serena stomped and shouted her heart breaking. They had assembled in the Great Hall.

"Why would he do that to her?" Arthur asked tears in his eyes.

"Because he knew it would hurt me." Serena responded tightly. Severus rested his arms on her shoulders.

"No it can't be just that. If he wanted to hurt you he would have killed her." He said aloud his face pensive.

"Then why" Serena asked.

"Did he really change her or was it a glamor and how did he do it?" Charlie Weasley asked.

"No he changed her. It wouldn't be possible with your magic, he must have used the Golden Crystal to access her soul and change it to her true form the rest well he probably just obliviated her life as Molly Weasley."

"Could you give her back her powers it was fire right?" Charlie asked.

"I couldn't have before, her body wouldn't have accepted them but with her Martian DNA active son of a bitch that's why he did it. We need to keep my scouts under guard." Serena shook Severus hands off and paced the room muttering under her breath everyone looked at her in confusion.

"He is going to capture all her former scouts and revert them to their natural forms forcing her to give them back their powers weakening herself and becoming vulnerable to attack." Severus told them. "You can't do it Serena I won't let you." Severus looked at his wife. He knew her knew that she would trade her life her happiness for theirs but he couldn't let her. She didn't understand that she was worth far more than any of them. She was their Salvation the Guardian of Love and she couldn't just throw her life away. He understood why she was required to have scouts guardians it was not because she was weak but because she was strong too strong to compassionate and she would throw herself into the fray to willingly. Her life was worth too much to be traded so easily for mere humans.

"I couldn't if I wanted to. Darien had no idea about Trista and her curse. By freeing her I have taken the powers of the scouts permanently. I can't give them back."

"Let me out of here. I'm going to fry you like a chicken wing when I get my powers back." Rei screamed through the door. Who the hell were these people what did they want with her and why couldn't she transform. The door opened and the pale slithery one walked in. Rei shivered that thing gave her the creeps.

"Aw come on now Rei that's no way for you to greet an old friend. Remember when you used to chase me around trying to date me. You were so mad when Serena and I got together." Rei squinted at the monster.

"Darien" She asked. He nodded his head.

"What happened to you? Why are you keeping me here?" She asked

"I was cursed and Serena won't fix me. You are just incentive to get her to come around. Then we'll be one big happy family like before." Rei stared at the thing claiming to be Darien its pale skin and red eyes fixed on her. Closing her eyes she reached inside of herself to the great fire within. She may not be able to transform but she was still a priestess. She felt the pull of the Golden Crystal from his body.

"Darien" She ran towards him and threw her arms around his shoulders. Voldemort smiled this was to easy. He would take Serena down and use her own scout to do it. "Darien can I get a fire lit in this room. Ever since I woke up I've been so cold. Without my powers it seems I'm always cold the fire inside of me is missing." With a wave of his wand a fire was lit in the small bedroom. Rei smiled gratefully.

"Why doesn't Serena help you? She loves you." Rei asked Darien her eyes full of concern.

"These people have powers and they've confused her tricked her into marrying one of them. They only want her powers. We have to help her Rei if not Crystal Tokyo will never come Rini will never be born." Voldemort looked at her with pleading eyes.

"Don't worry Darien we'll get her back. I promise." Voldemort left her making sure to lock the door after him. Rei only smiled as she heard the lock click into place. That ass he thought a lock would stop her. She sat in front of the fire and concentrated.

"Serena meatball head come in. Can you hear me?" Serena jumped up they were in the Great Hall still arguing about how to rescue Rei when Serena heard her voice. Running to the fire in the corner she called out to her friend.

"Rei, Rei where are you?" Serena called out to the fire.

"I don't know Darien has me locked in a room. It looks like it's the Dark Ages no lights no TV its totes weird. Something weird is going on. Dairen said you got married and these people had magic and they tricked you." Serena stared at the wavering face of her friend in the fire.

"Do you believe him?" She asked scared of the answer.

"Dude has red eyes Meatball head and he locked me in plus what the fuck happened to his nose. No I don't believe him. Darien was turned to the dark side like six times and you have never been corrupted you remain annoyingly cheerful and perfect. I mean you wouldn't even suck a dick I mean were in out twenties we should be sucking dicks." Serena blushed nearly purple and Severus couldn't help but chuckle. Arthur covered Ginny's ears and blushed. Ron looked a bit sick.

"Rei!" Serena whined. "We don't have time for this come through. I'll open a portal." Rei crawled through the fire and into the great hall throwing herself in Serena's open arms.

"Meatball head." She whispered affectionately. For some reason it felt like years since she had seen her.

"Oh Rei, I've missed you so much." Serena squeezed the dark haired girl tightly reveling in the feel on her arms around her. Rei had always been more like an older sister than friend and she had missed her. Severus cleared his throat he held out his hand to the girl.

"I am Severus Snape you don't remember me but I am Serena's husband." Rei waggled her eyebrows.

"OH really, did she get over her penis phobia."

"Rei!" Serena shouted.

"Oh yes she is very much, it simply took the right one." Rei laughed she was going to like this guy. He was handsome not in the traditional sense like Darien had been but in a more severe way. Charlie had come up behind Serena about to speak when Rei spotted him.

"Well hello there handsome." She reached for the guys arm batting her eyelashes.

"Rei for love of Selene do not finish that sentence!" Serena yelled.

"What's going on Serena?" Rei asked her face serious. Serena held Rei's hand as she explained.

"So what you're saying is I we left. The scouts abandoned you to protect the universe alone." She was furious how could she do that. Why would she do that. "And this kid is Lita and the old man in Michiru?" Dumbledore sputtered at being called old. Serena only nodded. "And I'm a mom of seven kids seven including hotness over there. Sweet Ares this is hard to take in." Rei paced the room. Ginny ran up to her hugging the girl's waist.

"Mum please remember me you have to remember me. I'm Ginny your daughter." Rei pushed the girl gently away.

"I'm not your mom. I'm sorry I can't be this person you want me to. I'm 25 a priestess I can't cook and I have a terrible temper I can't be a mom." Rei ran down the hall leaving a crying Ginny in her wake. Serena moved to follow her but Severus held her back. He nodded towards Arthur who had quietly slipped out after Rei.

"Leave them I know if I was in his place I would want to be the one to speak with you." Serena nodded then went to Ginny.

"We will fix this. I'm sure there is a way to fix this. I won't stop until I fix this ok." Ginny nodded her head and wiped snot from her nose. Greg Goyle walked over and took Ginny from Serena's arms holding his girlfriend and rubbing small circles on her back.

"Damn Darien to the bowels of Hell for this. How could he ruin their family like this?" Severus said nothing only took her hands and led her to his old quarters. Pulling her into the bed he spooned her small body to his. He never pressed her for more simply held until she fell asleep.

"Molly wait" Arthur called out to the beautiful girl that used to be his wife.

"My name is not Molly its Rei. Rei Hino I'm not your wife I'm sorry." Rei turned to go but her arm was caught by the handsome man.

"You can call yourself whatever you want but you are my wife. We were married twenty five years ago and our souls were bound. You may not remember but it changes nothing. I won't give up on you." Arthur pulled her towards him and kissed her. Putting all of his love all of his fear into that kiss. His kiss was desperate he had been so afraid when she went missing and now here she was so different yet still exactly the same. She was still a fiery tempered little minx. Rei kissed him back she had no choice in the matter. His kiss was familiar it was the spark to the fire inside of her. When the kissed stopped they were both breathing hard.

"Tell me about her?" Rei asked him Arthur led her to the astronomy tower sitting her in between his legs he spoke quietly.

"We met in school. You were beautiful with long red hair and deep brown eyes. You were the prettiest witch in school and brilliant to. I was a bit of a geek but somehow you liked me. I never knew what made you pursue me but I am forever grateful you did. We have seven kid's six boys and one girl Ginevra. She's just like her mother beautiful with a temper and quick to curse the boys. I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you in the first year you were eleven years old." Arthur pulled out some pictures from inside his robes. One was their wedding picture the other last year's Christmas photo with all their kids around them wearing the trademark Weasley sweaters.

"You look different older" Rei remarked still staring intently at the older couple in the moving picture. They obviously loved each other it shined from their eyes. It was something she secretly wished for. Being a scout was a lifelong commitment that meant no marriage no kids but if she could have any family in the world Rei would have wished for the one in that photo. Surrounded by smiling kids of all ages, they obviously weren't well off but happiness shined from everyone's eyes like a beacon.

"Yes well Serena hasn't quite gotten used to the scouts powers. She healed me to well. You should have seen the bathroom at Sirius's house when she lost control of your fire." Arthur laughed at the memory making Rei smile. Turning around to face the man that was her husband in this life she made a decision. Sliding off her robes she stood before him bare.

"Make me remember." She whispered. He hesitated at first looking at the beautiful but unfamiliar body. He looked at her brown eyes and there he saw his wife. The face didn't matter he saw her soul shining in her eyes this was the woman who had given him seven beautiful children. He kissed her and spent the entire night showing her just how loved she was.

The next morning they stumbled into the Great Hall holding hands and giggling like teenagers.

"Merlin Mum dad can you not do that in Public." Ron yelled loudly when they kissed his face red. Arthur simply blushed.

"I filled Molly in on what's going on she thinks she can help us find a descendent of the Earth Prince." Arthur told Serena holding Rei's hand.

"I can't transform but I still have my priestess powers I will meditate and ask the great fire to show me the Descendant. Serena can we talk please, alone." Rei said nodding towards Severus who had instinctively followed his wife.

"Yes of course." Serena kissed Severus quickly before grabbing Rei's hand and running away before Severus could follow.

"He's a little scary." Rei told her after.

"Severus no he's a puppy dog…ok he's a rabid hell hound but I adore him." Rei laughed happy to see her friend so happy.

"I wanted to apologize" Rei started but Serena held up her hand.

"You don't have to I released you from your vow because I wanted you to be happy."

"No that's not it, I'm not sorry I left that I chose a new life. I was happy. Arthur showed me pictures told me the stories. I we were happy and my mind may not remember my heart does. I love that man and I don't regret choosing him. What I am sorry about is not noticing how unhappy you were with Darien. You gushed and blushed and did all the appropriate stuff but I never realized till right now that it was an act. Seeing you with grumpy mcblackpants showed me that. You don't gush you don't even have to speak you just shine. I'm sorry we made you feel like you had to be with Darien to make us happy." Serena hugged the girl tightly grateful that she had understood. "So tell me about this honeymoon did you really get over your penis fear?"

"Rei, I didn't have penis fear it's just Darien's was so ugly like plucked chicken all that hanging skin flopping little pink hear staring at me." She shuttered. Rei couldn't help it she burst out laughing Goddess or not Serena was still the same.

"What about Sexyrus?"

"His name is Severus and I am the only one who can call him Sexyrus and his penis is a work of art. No little chicken skin for him. He's a bit over protective and he sneers a lot if he calls you a dunderhead it's a term of affection for him that's how he first told me he loved me." Rei shook her head. That man was definitely opposite of sweet Serena but somehow they meshed.

Rei sat in front of a fire Serena had transfigured her some miko robes and she chanted softly. She felt a presence sit beside her without opening her eyes she called out softly.

"It's Ginny right" Ginny looked in shock at the beautiful woman who housed her mother's soul.

"How did you know it was me?"

"I sensed your presence plus you smell like vanilla."

"What are you doing?"

"Meditating I was, am I guess a priestess in a Shinto temple. I may have magic now but I can't remember how to use it but I want to be useful this I can do. You have the power to you and Ronald though his gift of sight is stronger than yours. Would you like to learn how to use it?" She asked the girl her daughter. Then smiled at the thought she always wanted a daughter.

"Sure"

"I'll tell you what I'll help you learn to see in the Great Fire if you help me learn how to be a witch again."

"Does this mean you won't ever remember us me?" Ginny asked with tears in her eyes her voice trembled.

"Honestly I don't know Ginny. Your father said that there is no way to reverse an obliviate, but that doesn't mean I'm not your mother or that I don't care for you all of you. Talk to me, teach me tell me stories about who I was. I may never remember but I will learn I love you all already. I always wanted a big family you know. As Sailor Mars it was a secret fantasy of mine to be a normal woman a mom with a husband who loved me and a house full of noisy kids. I don't look like the mother you know. I don't remember her life but my heart feels her love for you and your brothers perhaps in teaching me you will learn to like who I am now?" Rei didn't open her eyes. Inside she shook wondering if that girl her beautiful daughter would take the olive branch she offered her. The seconds seemed to pass like an eternity the silence bearing down on her. Then Rei felt arms go around her waist from behind.

"I love you to mom." Ginny whispered in her hair. Rei hugged her back and noticed a second presence had sat on her other side.

"I heard everything you said. You don't look anything like my mum and you're too young to hot but dad loves you and Ginny loves you and I miss my mum so I'm going to teach you to. You're a bloody excellent cook.."

"Ronald Weasley you watch your language."

"See your acting like your old self already. Now teach us how to see into the fire mum" Rei smiled and gave her kids directions her face beaming. Arthur watched from across the room with a smile. Things would be ok everything was going to be fine. She was still Molly inside.

It took twenty minutes of deep concentration before Rei saw something. But it wasn't useful she only saw Serena's face no matter how she asked the great fire for the solution to the problem she only saw Serena.

"Mum I think I got something." Ron called from besides her.

"What do you see son?"

"Serena she's with a blue haired lady and a little blonde boy." Serena had walked toward the fire when she heard her name being called.

"What did you ask the fire?" Rei asked him her face full of worry.

"I asked who the descendant of the Earth Prince was. It showed me the guy. He was tall with black hair and he had this cool armor and a sword next to him played a little girl with blue hair."

"Goddess I forgot about Arete. She was his cousin from his father's side. Her parents died when she was just a baby but I never got to see her very much. The Earth King and Queen very much believed that children should be in the nursery until they are useful. I only met her once." Serena told them.

"The girl was saved smuggled out by servants." Ron answered his voice hazy his eyes still focused on the fire.

"Who are her descendants?" Severus asked his heart speeding up. They may finally have a solution to their problem.

"I told you its Serena there was the blue haired lady and the blonde boy but they died in an explosion or something there's only Serena left."

"No no no that can't be. I'm his descendant Sammy was." Serena looked at Severus her heart breaking.

"This is a good thing no. This means you can absorb the crystal and we can kill him." Minerva who had stood close by listening told them. Trista had tears in her eyes and she was shaking her head in denial.

"What is it what are you not telling us?" Severus demanded his voice hard his eyes anxious.

"If I am the descendant and I absorb the crystal I won't be allowed to stay here. I would have to go to Olympus to live and I will not be able to contact anyone from my life here again. There are rules and I am pushing them as is. For a Goddess to be married to a mortal is against the rules but we bound our souls so I can get away with it but if I take the Earths power as well I would be considered too powerful a risk and unable to remain on Earth. I wouldn't be able to see you ever again Severus." She whispered the last words as the tears flowed down her face. Why did this always happen. Why was her happiness always taken from her?

"I won't let you do it. I forbid it. As your husband I forbid you do you understand?" Severus shouted at her his face red his chest heaving.

"I have no choice."

"No NO why. Why does it always have to be you who gives up everything. There are other Gods tell one of them to fix this. Don't leave me please." Severus slumped to the floor pulling his wife in his arms sobbing. He could feel his heart wrenching and he knew the moment she left him it would stop beating all together.
