The School Of Cosmos

Impressions and Divination

I followed the Gryffindor house prefect to a picture of a fat lady. "The new password is Moonlight!" cried Angelina, the prefect. I sighed. It was going to be tough getting used to so many people after being alone so long…

I shook my head. She definitely did not want to remember that. It was too painful. I wish you were all here with me. I thought.

The picture swung open to reveal a large, cosy, common room. There were two sets of stairs; one to the girls' dormitories, and to the boys'. All around the room, there were large, cushy chairs. There was also a window seat. I decided that was the best place to sit. I'll get to see the moon. I thought.

I sat down, ready for some deep thought, when about two dozen people came over and asked how I had beaten that monster, and if I could teach them, blah, blah, blah. It took about half an hour to answer all their stupid questions. Will I ever get any peace around here? I wondered glumly.

"Aren't you hungry?" a girl asked. It was the one that had approached me in the Grand Hall.

"I have no need to eat." I replied.

"No need to eat?" asked a boy with brown hair and a chubby face. "Won't you die if you don't eat?"

"Do I look dead to you?" I snapped. "I don't even know your name, and your already telling me how to do things!"

"I-it's N-Neville Longbot-t-tom." The boy stammered.

I suddenly felt bad. I know he didn't mean to be rude. I guess it was normal for people to eat. Heck, I used to eat two times as much as everyone else before…

"Hey! You don't have to be rude! Just because you don't want any friends doesn't mean you should get nasty!" Hermione yelled at me.

I stood up and walked over to her. I looked her directly in the eye and could see her quivering. "Let's get one thing straight. If I'm nasty, I have a good reason to be!" Now the whole common room was silent. "I have been through things that you have only seen in your nightmares!"

"And what might those things be?" asked the boy named Harry Potter.

"None of your business." I stated calmly and walked up to my room. I snapped my fingers and I was instantly in my nightgown.

Great impression I made! I thought to myself. Now I really won't have anymore friends.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The common room watched the back of the girl named Cosmos disappear up the stairs. As soon as she had disappeared from view, the whispers started.

"What was her problem?" asked Ron.

"I don't know. I think she should have been in Slytherin though." Stated Harry.

"I feel sorry for her." Hermione said. The two boys looked at her in shock. She decided to explain. "When she said those things about seeing thing we had only seen in our nightmares, there was a deep sadness in her eyes. It made me want to cry. She really must've been through a lot, to have those eyes."

"Personally, I think we should just leave her alon…" started Ron. "We are not going to do that!" cried Hermione. "We are going to become her friends. I really think that's all she needs right now..."

"Are you a crazy woman?" exclaimed Ron. "She practically threatened you and you want to be her friend?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ron went on to try and convince Hermione of all the reasons it wouldn't be a good thing to befriend the girl named Cosmos, when Harry interrupted.

"I think Hermione might have a point." He looked at Ron's face. "I mean, if she called Volde-You-Know-Who weak, I'd hate to think of what she had to face."

Ron looked at his two best friends and sighed. "I guess you two are right. We'll try again in the morning."

"Good." Smiled Hermione.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cosmos woke up at dawn. She was very well rested. In fact, that was the first good sleep she had had in a long time.

Might as well get dressed. She thought. Cosmos tried to remember what the students had worn last night. Once she got a clear enough picture, she snapped her fingers and she appeared in the traditional Hogwarts robes. Good enough.

She descended the stairs and sat on the same window seat as last night. Then it occurred to her. She didn't have any of the supplies she needed. She stood up, walked to a table, and hands out stretched in front of her, she concentrated. A silver glow appeared on the table. After about a minute, all the school things she needed where on the table, including a bag to carry it all in.

"What did you do?" came a voice.

Usagi turned around to see the girl she had gotten mad at last night, Hermione.

Cosmos shrugged. "Simple, I got my supplies."

"I've never seen anyone get their supplies like that." Hermione looked suspicious.

"You've never met anyone like me before." Cosmos smirked.

"True."

Cosmos packed up her stuff, and said, "If you don't mind, I'm going to head down to breakfast. I may not need to eat, but I still can."

With that, she turned and left. She walked out the portrait and down the stairs. Cosmos knew for a fact that she wouldn't get lost. All she had to do was follow the smell of food.

After a few minutes, she arrived at the Grand Hall and sat down at her house table.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So the table glowed and when the light cleared, there were her supplies?" Ron looked sceptical.

"It's true!" exclaimed Hermione.

"She can't be normal." Stated Ron.

They arrived at the Grand Hall, in time to see Malfoy approaching Cosmos.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hello there, angel." Said a sly voice from behind her.

Cosmos turned around in time to see a skinny boy with light blonde hair and blue eyes take her hand and kiss it.

"May I help you?" said Usagi in a deadly voice.

"I was just wondering where you came from, because it must be beautiful to produce such a lady." The boy said. "My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

"Not that it is any of your business, but yes, it was beautiful before…"

"Before…?" asked Malfoy.

"Just forget it." She said in a final tone.

Just then, Harry, Ron and Hermione ran up and yelled: "Malfoy, go back to your own table!"

"Oh look! It's the famous Potter, with his sidekicks: poor Weasley and the mudblood."

From the looks on the three's faces, Cosmos could tell it was something bad. She stood up and faced Malfoy. She pointed her finger at his temple. "Tell me, Draco Malfoy, pray tell. What does 'mudblood' mean?"

"It's a foul name for someone with non-magical parents." Answered Harry.

Cosmos smirked. "Now that's not very nice. I suggest you go back to your own table Mr. Malfoy."

Malfoy did as he was told.

"Thanks Cosmos." Smiled Hermione.

Cosmos nodded curtly and sat down as Professor McGonagall handed out schedules.

Ron and Harry groaned. They had divination first.

"Great, we get to start the year off with Trelawney." Ron moaned.

"Oh! Look! We have a new subject this year! Myths and Legends! It's third block today, right after Transfiguration, followed by Defence Against The Dark Arts."

"I'm glad we have Professor Lupin again this year." Said Harry.

"Me too." Stated Ron. "He the best teacher!"

Cosmos watched all this. It was all so new to her. How was she going to fit in? At least I know I'll be good in Defence Against the Dark Arts. She thought.

"Cosmos, can I ask you a question?" asked Hermione.

"You already did." Cosmos pointed out.

"Another one?" Cosmos nodded. "Why don't you have a last name? And why is your first name Cosmos?"

"That's two questions," Cosmos replied. "and two I cannot answer. Sorry."

Hermione looked disappointed so Cosmos added, "You will find out in time."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cosmos, Harry and Ron made their way up to the north tower. By the time they got there, Cosmos was the only one who wasn't panting. The trapdoor swung suddenly open and a ladder came down. Everyone climbed up and sat down. Usagi pulled out a book on divination and started reading.

"I see we have a new addition to our class." Said a voice. An old woman with glasses that made her look like a bat came out of the shadows. "Yes the Guardian of the Time Gates told me you'd be coming. He and I are well acquainted…"

"It's a she." Stated Cosmos without looking up from her book.

"Pardon me?" asked Professor Trelawney.

"It's a she." Repeated Cosmos.

"My dear girl, I think I would know better that you. After all I am a lot older."

I highly doubt that. Thought Cosmos slamming her book shut. "I know for a fact that the Guardian of the Time Gates is a woman. She goes by the name of Pluto Setsuna Meioh. Or at least she did, until…," Cosmos choked, "until she died." Cosmos looked down, trying to fight back the tears that were stinging her eyes.

"Now see here! The Guardian certainly did not die. If she did, there would be no one to guard the gates."

"Oh, there is someone. She's just part-time though." Replied Cosmos.

"And who might this person be?" questioned the Professor.

Cosmos smirked. "Me."
