I just wanted to say that it didn't only take three chapters to get to
Christmas. This would be a very short series indeed, then. This series
started in about mid October to early November. =)
Chapter 4
Guardian Pluto
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Setsuna awoke feeling a bit groggy. It had taken her a little while to fall asleep, as she was lost in her thoughts about the other Sailor Senshi. After she stood up, Setsuna yawned and walked over to her dresser. She looked at the Eternal henshin stick that lay on the dresser's surface. Next to the stick was a picture of Rei, Minako, Ami, Chibiusa, Makoto, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, and Usagi standing next to Setsuna. They all looked very happy. Setsuna picked up the picture and smiled at it. "I miss those days." She sighed, and opened her dresser to get clothed in her Hogwarts robes. Setsuna left her room and walked into the hallway that lead to the Great Hall.
Professor Dumbledore met Setsuna halfway there. "Ah, Professor Meioh." He said with a slight smile. She smiled back. "Good morning, Headmaster. What brings you here?" She inquired. He chuckled. "Actually I was looking for you. I just wanted to tell you that I want for you to help decorate the Great Hall for this year's Christmas feast. It's coming up in two weeks, we just need to plan it." He winked. Setsuna laughed. "Oh dear, I forgot all about Christmas! This year has gone by so fast already." Dumbledore nodded to her. "Ah yes, time does tend to pass quickly some years." He had a strange glint in his eyes. Setsuna could swear that he was hinting something, and sometimes she wondered if he really did know about Sailor Pluto. She shook her head as if to deny the fact. "I'll be glad to help out with the decorations. When do we start planning?" Setsuna asked. "Tomorrow is a good day. Today is the weekend, of course, so all you need to do is relax." Dumbledore chuckled. Setsuna smiled, nodded, and said goodbye to Headmaster Dumbledore.
Setsuna walked away and proceeded to the Owlery. She got there and went to visit her owl, Migwug. She fed Migwug some meat and petted him. "Alas, Migwug." She said, smiling, though tears lingered in her eyes. "I do miss everyone, but I so love my life here! I just wish that I could I have a.normal life in the wizarding world. But duty calls. She nodded grimly. Then, Setsuna took a note out of her pocket addressed to "Ms. Usagi Tsukino," and attached it to Migwug's foot. Migwug hooted, and flew out the window. Setsuna exited the Owlery, and continued to make her way to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Later that day, as Setsuna sat at the desk in her classroom, grading papers, she heard a tapping on the window. Setsuna opened the window, and found Migwug to be holding a letter in his talons. "Setsuna Meioh," it read on the envelope. She petted Migwug, and took the letter. Migwug perched on the windowsill, waiting. "That's all." Setsuna smiled at him. He hooted and flew away. Setsuna opened the letter, and read it
Dear Setsuna, I am terrified to hear the news of this new enemy! I will be sure to keep a lookout for monsters here in Japan. If they start appearing here, then it's back to work for the scouts and I! Please be sure to communicate with us if this new enemy is too strong for Eternal Sailor Pluto to penetrate. We all really miss you, Setsuna! Keep in contact, and do not hesitate to call for back-up. We may be able to use Sailor Teleportation. It's worked before! Much love, Usagi Tsukino
Setsuna wiped the tears from her eyes after reading the letter. It had been so long since she had heard from Usagi and everyone else. She could still hear Chibi-Usa and Hotaru playing outside. She sighed, and smiled once again at the picture on her dresser. There was suddenly a knock at the door. "Come in." Setsuna said. The door opened, and Severus Snape stepped in. He looked as if he had just eaten a lemon. "Professor Meioh, Headmaster Dumbledore wants to speak to you." He said, and, after turning around quickly, strolled off. Setsuna shook her head, and then shrugged. She walked off out of the classroom and headed towards the Headmaster chambers. She reached a gargoyle minutes later, and stood in front of it. "Lemon drop!" She said, and the gargoyle moved, revealing a door. * Setsuna knocked on the door. "Come in," came Dumbledore's cheery voice from inside. Setsuna opened the door, and walked in.
"Ah, Professor Meioh!" Dumbledore smiled. Setsuna smiled back, and walked over to an empty chair. A beautiful bird of red feathers was perched in a cage right next to the chair. Setsuna bowed to Headmaster Dumbledore, and sat down. "I have summoned you here to have a little chat about the Christmas celebration tomorrow night. I hear that you would like to be the chief advisor for decorating the great hall." Dumbledore said. "And, I would also like to have a chat about how you're not exactly like the rest of the witches and wizards at this school. There is something different about you, something that no one must know." Dumbledore nodded. Setsuna sat motionless. "Headmaster, sir, I." She started, however he cut her off. "No needs to say anymore, I know what kind of life you have lead before."
Headmaster Dumbledore reached into his desk, and pulled out a parchment. "Ancient books written by witches and wizards of the Old Times tell of a legend. It was a legend of a beautiful and peaceful kingdom on the guardian of the Earth, our Moon. It was a solitary place, ruled by a Queen. There was also the guardian of Time, who stood at the Gates Of Time. Many did not see her, but those who did described her as a 'Beautiful, emerald-haired woman with a long staff in her hands, shaped like a key. She was the guardian between the past, the future, and the present. Guardian Pluto, the Time Goddess.' Now, this seems to have a connection to the fact that as soon as you showed up this year, so did the ancient guardian of times, Guardian Pluto, the Time Goddess, or Sailor Pluto. You mask your true identity by just a change of clothing, this is magic; however it did not fool me. I am not going to tell anyone of this, I would just like to know one thing. about how old are you, Professor Meioh?" He finished. Setsuna, still a little shocked, looked at him.
"Sir.. I." She looked down. "I have been re-born a few times, as Sailor business is a rough job. However, I have walked this Earth and guarded the Gates of Time for. over a thousand years." She said. Headmaster Dumbledore nodded, smiling. "I thought you were her. My, dear girl, you're older than I am! Do you recognize this?" He pulled out something from his desk. It appeared to be an hourglass, however it wasn't really one. Setsuna gasped. "A. a time turner?" She said in awe. He nodded. "Yes, it is a replica made by wizards and witches to match that of the Guardian Pluto." His eyes twinkled. Setsuna sat back in her chair, amazed.
As Setsuna fell asleep later that night, many things were on her mind. However, she as so exhausted that she fell right to sleep.
Expect more to come later! I FINALLY have the fourth chapter up! Are you guys happy? It's actually starting to get interesting. =) Please expect more adventures of Professor Meioh to come! ~Sasami~
