A/N: I'm all better!! Yay! ~hugs reviewers that wished her well~ Thanks for your reviews of support! Okay, I don't know if anyone reads in the Cardcaptor Sakura category, but I promised my sister that I would tell you about her fic. It's called "Alter Ego" by Gangsta Lovin, and it's rated R. I've read it and I really like it, but she's only got three reviews! ~laughs at her sister and points to her review status~ *Star-chan's sister smacks her* ~yells at her sister for typing in HER author's note~ On with the chappie!

The School of Cosmos

Getting a Wand

Feeling content for the first time, not happy mind you, but content, Cosmos walked with her housemates to the Gryffindor common room. She looked up when she heard the shuffling of feet. Harry, Ron and Hermione had approached her.

"That was a cool ceremony," said Harry.

"Thank you, but that was nothing compared to how they used to be," said Cosmos sadly.

"How long has your family been honouring Selene?" asked Hermione.

Cosmos looked thoughtful, before replying, "Almost eight-thousand years." They looked at her in shock. "What?"

"It's been around longer than Christmas!" exclaimed Ron.

"Much longer," agreed Cosmos.

The quartet made their way into the common room that bustled with students. Cosmos, ignoring the trio that she had been conversing with, walked over to a large window. A large full moon hung outside on the velvet of night sky. It seemed unusually bright tonight, as it always did on February 7th. It was a sure sign that Selene was watching. The thought made Cosmos smile.

"Tonight's the night," she muttered.

"The night for what?" asked Harry appearing beside her.

"Magic..." she responded vaguely.

~*~*~*~*~

Cosmos crept silently out of bed. She didn't need anyone messing this up for her, as it was important to keep her secret. If anyone were to see... she shuddered at the thought. They'd think me a Dark magic practicer!

Descending the stairs, her white robe fluttering about her bare feet, she made her way to the portrait hole. She was aware that they were watching... she'd have to take care of that. A smirk adorned her lips. It was perfect!

Standing outside the common room, the portrait hole swung closed. "Who do you think you are, waltzing around after hours?" demanded the fat lady.

"Do you really want to know?" smirked Cosmos.

"If you don't mind!" said the fat lady, quite annoyed.

"I'm the Queen of Stars." Her passed her hand in front of her forehead. A silver eight-pointed star appeared. The fat lady gasped.

"I'm so sorry your highness... majesty... supreme beingness!" she cried.

"Be quiet!" snapped Cosmos. "Do you want me to be found?" That shut the painting up. "Now, I need you to do something for me. Will you do it?" The fat lady nodded loyaly. "Stay closed. Don't open for anyone trying to get out. In fact, don't open at all unless it's for Professor Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall. Am I understood?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you. I shall return soon, only then may you resume normal proceedure." Cosmos turned around and marched downstairs. She crept onto the Hogwarts grounds. Approaching the lake, she took a deep breath and prepared herself to begin.

The Queen placed a foot on the water and carefully walked to the middle of the lake where the moonlight hit the water. Entering the ring of light, she began chanting in lunarian. A bright light exploded around Cosmos and she was raised into the air. She converted to Neo-Queen Serenity form.

~I call upon my grandmother Selene! Please, grant me a favour! I wish to aquire what every magical person has in this dimension! Hear my call and answer!~ Another burst of light.

A woman appeared. Her hair was pure white with silver streaks. Her eyes were navy, like the dead of night. She wore a traditional roman robe. ~What is it you wish, my darling grand-daughter?~

~Please, allow me the cores I need to complete this task!~ begged Serenity.

Selene smiled. ~Of course, my child! You honoured me tonight, so I will do this to repay the favour.~ Another flash of light, and both figures were gone.

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

Cosmos, now out of Serenity form, appeared in a vast garden. Tears swelled up in her eyes as she spied the Earth hanging in the sky. I'm home... but only long enough to get what I came for. I must make sure I am not seen!

She walked into an orchard, where there were feilds of silver fur trees. Walking up to one of them, she put her hand up to it and magically pulled off a long stick, nine inches. Cosmos sighed in relief. No one had seen her.

"Hello, my daughter," came a soft voice from behind her.

Spinning around, she saw a regal woman with deep blue eyes and silver/ lavender hair wearing a white gown. "'Kaa-san..." she breathed. Queen Selenity nodded sadly.

"I know you cannot stay long, my mother informed me." Tears streamed down the woman's face. "I'm sorry I failed to give you a normal life! It's all I ever wanted for you!"

"How...? How do you know about that? I can't be more than five years old right now!" frowned Cosmos. That's right, she had traveled to the past.

"Mother granted me visions of the future... though I will forget them after tonight," sighed Selenity.

Throwing caution to the wind, Cosmos ran forth and hugged her mother tightly. "You never failed me! Sure, I may have had to fight alot, not to mention die, but that just made the time of peace even more special!" Selenity smiled through her own tears. Cosmos pulled away. "I must go 'kaa-san. I know the second I leave, you'll forget, but I want you to know that I love you!"

Selenity smiled. "Oh, my darling child! I'm so proud of you! I love you so much!"

"Sayonara 'kaa-san!" Hugging her mother once more, Cosmos vanished.

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

Cosmos now appeared in a familiar hallway... a hallway in the Crystal Palace. Doors lined the walls, each with a planetary symbol (except in the case of Uranus and Neptune). Knowing what must be done, she wasted no time. She walked to the first door. It had the symbol of Mars on it.

Quietly walking in, Cosmos spotted Rei's sleeping form. She approached the figure's, gently pulled out one of her hairs and put it in her sub-space pocket. Before exiting the room, she placed a kiss on Rei's cheek. Doing the same in all the rooms, getting especially emotional in Usagi's room. She then walked into her and Endymion's room. Cosmos repeated the process again on Endymion, but instead of kissing him on the cheek, she kissed him tenderly on the lips.

Endymion woke the sensation of someone kissing him. Serenity... he thought amused. Must not have been able to sleep. He opened his eyes to see an empty room except for his sleeping wife next to him.

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

Cosmos appeared back on the lake in the Hogwarts ground. She was back in Serenity form. Now, all I have to do is get one more ingredient! She stretched out her long dove wings. She pulled out a feather, and the wings immeadiately disappeared.

Getting out all the items, and making them levitate in front of her, she concentrated. When she was finished, a few minutes later, there was a perfect silver-wood wand. Serenity reached out her hand to take it, but found she could not. The memories of what had just happened haunted her.

~I feared this would happen~ said a voice. It was Selene. ~I am so sorry Serenity!~ A single tear rolled off the goddess' cheek and fell onto the wand. The wand glowed bright as Serenity realized something. I have to fit in for their sake! It's what they would've wanted! I must make sure that their fate does not befall any innocents!~ She reached out and grasped the wand. Selene smiled. ~That's the spirit! Use the wand well!~ The goddess promptly vanished.

Smiling to herself, Serenity reverted to Cosmos form and headed back towards the castle.

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

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat down in front of the fire, giving up on going after Cosmos. The portrait simply would not open. They heard the fat lady say that something about orders, and not wanting to cause blasphemy. (sp?)

The sound of footsteps was heard and three heads looked up to see Cosmos smirking at them. "Tried to follow me, ne?" The three blushed. "It was none of your concern. I was simply getting my wand!" She lifted the silver stick. "Well, that really took alot out of me! Good night!" She headed upstairs.

The three stared after her dumbfounded.
