WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY: TRAPDOOR AND SAILOR VENUS

Usagi stared at the starry night sadly as a sudden brighter star caught her line of vision. She blinked rapidly and narrowed her eyes to see better in the night. She ignored Ino when she flew around in the darkened night.

The star twinkled again as Usagi stared at it in astonishment, 'Wow, such a beautiful star.'

She then looked confused and took a deeper look at the shining star. Then it struck her dead center, 'Venus... that star is really the planet Venus.'

As soon as she thought those words the star had a sudden orange glow to it, 'Orange? That's strange. Venus isn't orange... is it?'

She then shivered slightly, 'Something is going to happen tonight.'

A noise down stairs interrupted Usagi's thoughts. She frowned and decided to investigate. Slowly, not making a single sound, she crept downstairs. Not even noticing Hermione's bed empty, she hid behind a wall and heard a familiar voice say "You! Go back to bed." Usagi froze at those words, 'Is he talking to me.'

She started to breath again once she heard Hermione's voice say, "I'm going to tell your brother, he's a prefect and would know how to act."

Usagi bit her lower lip when she knew fully whom Hermione was talking to... Ron.

"Come on, Harry, we have to go now," Ron said to Harry as he nodded.

Usagi eyes widened and said softly, "Stop."

The trio turned around and looked at her.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes; Usagi was wearing a baby blue nightdress showing her developing curves and the moonlight cast a mysterious yet attracting glow on her.

"You guys can't go, or you'll get in deep trouble," Usagi said worried.

Ron looked at her concerned, "But we have too,"

Usagi stared at him for a moment and replied, "Fine, I'll go with you."

"But.." Harry began, but then saw the determination she held in her eyes and nodded.

Hermione was going to protest as the other three walked out of the Gryffindor house. She stood there for a minute before following them, hoping that she wouldn't get in trouble.

Then the four suddenly stopped and hid behind a wall when they saw Mrs. Norris.

Ron then spotted Hermione and said, "What are you doing?"

Hermione frowned and answered, "Making sure you three won't get Gryffindor in a lot of trouble."

"Whatever," Ron said in anger.

"Shh... guys be quiet or we'll be caught" Usagi said, trying to calm them down.

"I agree with Usagi, besides Mrs. Norris is gone," Harry said while stepping away from the wall and slowly went to the third floor and into the trophy room.

Harry and Ron looked around, they seemed to know why they're here but Usagi and Hermione stood there as if waiting for an answer.

"Ha. Malfoy ain't here yet. I bet he chickened out," Ron said with a satisfied smirk.

Usagi shivered as Harry looked worriedly at her. Then her head snapped up and stared at her childhood friend and said very deadly, "We came all the way here for Malfoy?"

Ron slowly backed away from the angry Usagi, "Um...yeah?"

Usagi eyes narrowed as Harry stared at her wide-eyed, "Usagi maybe you should calm down."

"I came down here for this when I could have been up in my room watching the planet Venus up in the sky?" Usagi asked deadly between clenched teeth.

Hermione blinked, "Venus was shinning today?"

Usagi immediately forgot that she was going to kill them and started to talk with Hermione about the planet Venus.

Ron looked at Harry strangely, "What was that?"

Harry replied, "I don't know, I think it's a girl thing."

Ron nodded.

Then they heard Filch coming in with Mrs. Norris.

They all held their breaths and Harry whispered, "Run quietly."

They nodded and ran gracefully towards the houses and up the stairs. But, just their luck, the stairs moved to another door.

They looked at each other as Usagi asked, "What do we do?"

"Sniff them out, my sweet," they heard Filch voice.

They quickly held their breaths again, but then Harry thought fast and said, "In here." With that they opened the door and ran in.

Ron slowly and quietly closed the door. They all let their breaths out and sighed. Usagi looked around the room; no it wasn't a room, but a corridor.

'The forbidden corridor!' her mind screamed as she shivered, "Guys I remember Professor Dumbledore telling us that we weren't allowed to come here..."

The other three looked at her and turned around to meet six pairs of yellow eyes. The eyes lifted and revealed to be a three headed dog. Usagi squinted her eyes and saw an outline of some kind of door under the beast. But then screamed as she looked at the animal again.

They screamed their heads off; it was so loud that it made the dog bark. They looked at them and was about to eat them when...

~MINAKO~

She slept soundly when all of a sudden she heard a loud scream in her mind. She shot up from bed and looked at the white cat in front of her.

"Minako." Artimis whispered.

The blonde girl nodded as she ran out of the Hufflepuff house and to the forbidden corridor. Before she opened the door she chanted, "Venus Crystal Power Make-Up"

~USAGI AND THE GUYS~

"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

Usagi watched as an orange heart shaped bomb hit the air between them and the hungry dog. The dog, frightened, turned back and hid in the shadows.

Taking that as a good sign they ran out of the corridor and ran towards their house.

The Fat Lady looked at them, "Where have you been?"

"Nevermind.." Usagi said irritated.

"She means Pig Snout," Harry said and they walked in.

~LATER THAT NIGHT~

Usagi fell on her bed exhausted, 'Why did Harry and Ron want to go to the trophy room? Was that another ancient magic user? I need to research more about those magic users. But why was that three headed dog there?' Then she suddenly remembered seeing some kind of door under it, 'A trap door? Maybe.'

With that single thought she drifted off to sleep, never forgetting about that trapdoor.

~DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE~

"So you're awakened too," Professor Dumbledore stated.

The shadowed figure seemly nodded, "Of course."

"What do you think of her?" he asked.

"Never talked to her..." the figure stepped out and it was Sailor Venus, "..yet."

Dumbledore nodded and said, "She's really pure hearted."

Venus nodded, "That's what I heard from Makoto. I better hurry and make friends with her since Makoto already treasures her as her friend."

"Yes, she is a special girl, isn't she," he asked.

Venus a.k.a. Minako could only nod as she stepped back into the shadows leaving a smiling Albus sitting on his chair.

END! I KNOW THAT IT TOOK ME FOREVER, BUT I WAS WORKING WITH ANOTHER FIC OF MINE CALLED 'BELONGED' AND 'HARVEST *MOON*'
ANYWAY R/R!
