Disclaimer: I don't own either Sailor Moon or Harry Potter, too bad.
Oh, faithful readers, at least most of you noticed my possible "mistake" or was it a mistake? Did I really just make Mamoru and Usagi cousins? Or did I not? This chap will definitely clear up your confused, grossed out minds.
A Light in the Darkness
Quiet Before a Storm
"Severus, what does he mean by father?"
"I'll explain, when my parents died, I was very young, Severus took me in and raised me as a father. That is why I called him father, we are not blood related, but he is like a real father to me."
"I see."
"We should be getting you a room."
"I'll just go to my old room if that is all right with you."
"Just find, Endymoin."
"Please, call me Mamoru."
"All right, Mamoru, you should get some rest. It must have been a long day for you and you should attend classes with some of the students tomorrow."
"May I go to classes with Usako?"
"I don't see what is wrong with that as long as you don't interfere with her studies."
"I wouldn't even think of doing so."
"Good night, Mamoru."
"Good night, Severus, Dumbledore, Minerva."
Mamoru left the three professors standing there, silent. Finally Minerva broke the silence.
"Do you really think that him going to classes with her, won't interfere with her studies."
"Minerva, did you get a good look at the two of them when they are together?"
"Yes, why?"
"What did you see?"
"A happy…couple."
"Yes, I couldn't dare have the heart to spilt them up."
"I understand, we should all be getting some sleep. I have a feeling we won't be getting too much in some of the upcoming days."
Everyone made their way to their rooms, and into their beds to have a restful sleep, full of pleasant dreams or no dreams at all. Well, everyone except one. One slept uneasily, unable to fully find comfort in the darkness of the night. One tossed and turned, waking up at every sound in the room, waking up at the same point in their dream, their nightmare each time. That one person barely slept and they found themselves sitting at their window, gazing up at the moon, moon light showering over them, giving them comfort. And then it hit them, they knew something was going to happen in the future, something bad, something very bad and very dark. A lot of darkness, and a lot of pain, pain and darkness created from pure evil, the heart and ruler of evil. The future didn't look so great. Finally the figure fell asleep sitting in the window, gazing up at the moon.
"Hime if you don't wake up, then you'll miss breakfast, or even worst Mamoru will leave."
Usagi slowly awoke, "Mamo-chan leaving?"
"No Hime, I just needed something to get you up."
"Okay, I am up."
"Are you all right? You feel asleep at the window."
"Just the headaches and I have been getting these horrible night mares, lately, they are preventing me from sleeping well."
"We should get down to breakfast."
"Hotaru."
Hotaru spun around and received a worried look from Usagi.
"Yeah?"
Usagi shook her head roughly, "Never mind, it was nothing."
"Well, come on we still have classes, and you haven't gone to classes for almost a week. You need some work, and maybe you'll be able to sleep during class. But with Mamoru-sama next to you I doubt that that will happen."
"Thanks for the encouragement and help."
"Always willing to help."
Usagi and Hotaru got ready quickly and headed down to the dinning hall, Malfoy came over to the table and whispered something in Hotaru's ear. She smiled and then the two walked off somewhere together, but not before Hotaru had grabbed a piece of toast.
"Mamo-chan." Usagi sighed deeply and sat down on the bench, across from Harry and Ron.
"What's wrong Usako?"
"Nothing."
"Usako, don't play with me."
"Nothing is wrong Mamo-chan, now why would I lie to you?"
"I am not worried about you lying, I am worried that you are not telling me something."
"I am fine."
"Fine."
"So Mamoru, are you going to be going to class or helping a teacher?"
"I am going to be going to classes with you guys, Usako. Albus thought it would be good for the both of us."
"Mamo-chan, are you going to bring me to my room today?"
"Yes later."
"Good."
"Come on Usagi, be don't want to be late."
"Hermoine, always the one worried about time."
"Okay class, settle down. Today in class we will be learning a very important spell, that is both a defense attack and a offense attack. It is a spell that all mosts puts a shield around yourself, but it actually puts the power on your skin so that it would be painful for your attacker to touch you or for you to touch them. Depending on the level of power at which you are at and what the spell is at, depends on how pain is inflicted to your oppenent. Now this is a simple spell which we will be testing and trying at the end of class."
Setsuna showed them the spell and what they needed to do and everyone practiced the spell until Setsuna walked back to the front of the desk and silenced everyone.
"Now to test your spell, we can't use each other because some of you could get seriuosly hurt, so we are going to use a creature known as a Credid. Now as some of you might know, a credid can be very dangerous, but to some it will not attack. It will not attack someone that is a lot weaker than themselves, for these creatures might be evil, they are noble and have pride to not fight lesser beings. This ultimatly brings on their own death, but if a weaker being attacks them, they will fight back. I will destroy the creature or retain it if you can not do damage to it, Mamoru will also be helping. Now would anyone like to go first." No one raised their hand. "Okay, since no one volunteered, Usagi why don't you go."
"Fine."
"Tell me when your ready and I'll release him."
"Ready."
Soon an ugly creature appeared, it's skin the blackess of night with bright yellow eyes and red hair. Four extra limbs pretured from its sides and it growled, showing sharp red and yellow teeth.
"Agramen Orte." Usagi whispered and a silver glow surrounded her and fainted into her skin, make her skin glowly a bright silver and flash periodically.
The credid charged Usagi and grabbed her into a full body lock, she screamed out in pain and Hotaru jumped forward to help her, but was held tightly back by both Malfoy and Mamoru.
"She must learn this for her own safety."
"AHHH!!" Another scream erupted from the pair and filled the room, but it wasn't Usagi this time, it was the credid, its skin burning right off its body. It quickly let go of Usagi but she grabbed him and moments later he was a pile of dust of the ground. She breathed in and heavily staring down at her hands, disbelief shown in her eyes.
"Good job Hime. Class is over."
The group walked to the dinning hall later that night for dinner and everyone sat down. They began eating as usual, nothing out of the ordinary or strange, but all of a sudden everything went dark, the candles blew out and the room became black. A silver glow was seen towards the ceiling, everyone looked up and glowing brightly was the dark lord symbol. Underneath it was flashing letters.
Be warned that it is always quiet before a storm. He is coming and Darkness will prevail.
When the lights turned back on, everyone looked around frantically and up to the professors table. What they saw up there scared them more than the dark lord's sign which they had seen a few moments ago. Encased in what looked like a crystal coffin was their classmate, lying still. All the professors looked on terrified and one was crying in shock. A body ran up the crystal and began banging continously on it, trying to free the person from almost certain death. All of a sudden the person inside opened their eyes and the person on the outside successfully broke through the crystal. The one on the outside caught the falling person in front of them.
"Usako."
"Mamo-chan, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming for me."
"I'll protect you Usagi, I'll protect you don't worry."
"He's coming and I won't be able to stop him, he's coming he's coming."
"Everything will be all right, everything."
"NO!" Usagi let out a blood curtling scream and rose from the ground, floating mid air. And then her vision went black and she fell quickly from the air, but was caught by Mamoru below. He held her unconcious form.
"I am taking her to her room."
"She needs medical attention."
"No, what she needs is time alone with her mother and the comfort of her loved ones."
"Mamoru-sama, take care of her."
"I will Albus, I will. I would give my life to keep her safe, I've done it before and I'd do it again."
That's it for the chapter!
