"I guess we've got some explaining to do." Usagi sighed.
"However, first, I think we should explain to each other." Dumbledore added. "I think we have all had enough excitement for the night. Goodnight everyone, time for bed. Prefects, please lead the first years up to the common rooms."
The students left the room in a hurry, just glad to be alive. Harry and Usagi looked up at Dumbledore. "Yes, you are coming with us. There is a lot to talk about, and your input would be most appreciated, Usagi. I think your brother is as confused, if not more, as the rest of the school."
Dumbledore placed a hand on each child's shoulder, and they walked out the room, the teachers following close behind with a levitated Snape. Dumbledore led them through a maze of corridors and staircases. Usagi noticed that the paintings seemed to be alive and that the occupants moved freely from one frame to another.
"Look!" She heard one painted woman say to another. "It's Harry Potter!"
"Is he in trouble?" The other asked of the first.
"No, Ladies." Dumbledore chuckled as they walked past them. "Neither student is in trouble. I'm certain that you will hear all about it later."
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they came to a stop at a stone Gargoyle. Usagi longed to ask why she hadn't remembered Harry; Dumbledore longed to ask what happened to his daughter; Harry just longed to ask what on Earth was going on.
"Lemon Drops" Dumbledore said, and the stone statue swung aside, revealing a staircase. "Follow me." Dumbledore led the group up the stairs to a large oval white room. "Have a seat." He suggested as he indicated, with his wand, a group of chairs near the fireplace. He waved his wand again, and a long table laden with food appeared before them.
"Let's eat while we talk" Dumbledore said in his smooth, yet quiet voice.
A muffled sound came made itself heard from behind the group. "Let me down!"
The group turned to find a conscious Professor Snape struggling to stand upright.
"P-p-professor!" A scrawny wizard with a turban on his head, cried. "Y- y-you're awake!"
"Yes, Quirril. I noticed that." Snape sarcastically replied. "Do you think you could let me down, now?"
Quirril waved his wand, and Snape was lowered to the ground.
"Thank you oh so much." Snape sneered.
"That's enough, you two. Grab some food and sit down." Dumbledore interrupted. He then indicated himself and the children. "We have a story to tell."
Everyone took up a plate of food, and then placed themselves in one of the various chairs around the fireplace. One by one, their eyes fell on the trio. Dumbledore cleared his throat, and then looked each person in the eye. "I'm sure you all know we are not what we appear to be. Severus, do you remember what happened in the hall?"
Snape thought for a moment. "Yes, but it is very foggy, as if someone had used the Imperious Curse on me."
Dumbledore nodded. "It was very similar. The powder that the creature known as Lioness threw at you was simply called 'Black Crystal Powder.' Not very original, but neither are the ones that attacked you. It is made up from a mix of potions for transfiguration, and mind control.
"The first thing that happens is that you loose control of your body, and then you get combined with something associated with you."
"Like that chef that had the pixy ears was combined with a pixy." Usagi said "Or Ron Weasley, who was made into a boy of fire. You, Professor Snape, were combined with various species of snakes."
"A chef, a boy with fire-red hair, and..."
"The head of Slytherin house, whose mascot happens to be a snake." Dumbledore said.
"What was that woman after?" McGonagall asked.
Usagi looked up at Dumbledore. He nodded, and Usagi opened her broach. She extracted the crystal, and held it up for all to see. "She is after this. It is called the Silver Imperial Crystal, or the Crystal of Love. It is the most powerful item in our dimension, and the symbol of the Silver Millennium."
"What is the Silver Millennium?" Harry asked, speaking up for the first time since the Great Hall.
"Let me start at the beginning." Dumbledore said. "The crystal was formed when my wife,?The Princess Serenity, was a girl of fourteen years. She was blessed with the gift of a strong magic ability. She was so powerful, that to stop herself from hurting others, she had to use quite a lot of magic per day.
"One day, my Parents, had dragged me along from my home planet, Mars, to meet the thirteen year old princess of the moon. I was known as Prince Albus then, and I was not exactly my peoples' favourite person; for I refused to join the army, and I was interested in magic. Magic was seen by my people, as meant for girls."
"You aren't human?" A very small wizard with a tuft of white beard squawked.
"Oh! Yes, Professor Flitwick. I am very human. Now." The teachers looked at each other in confusion. "Let me continue.
"I didn't want to meet the princess, for I didn't feel worthy. I thought that she would rather meet someone like the general of our army. However, when I saw her, I fell in love with her, and she proved me wrong. We were married a year later-"
"And caused many arguments between the inner planets up until their peoples' destruction." Usagi interrupted.
"Yes, well..." Dumbledore looked very uncomfortable. "Any way, a very peculiar thing happened at the ceremony. The ceremony for a Lunar wedding combines the powers and hearts of a couple. This usually results in the marking of your new wife or husband's family appearing on your forehead. The mark disappears from view at the end of the ceremony, but stays with you for ever.
"What happened at our wedding, was that our powers were too great to be held in our bodies at that time, and so, throughout the fusion of our love, the Crystal was formed, thus the name. The crystal was passed on to our daughter when she married, and if she were still alive, she would have waited for Usagi to marry before she passed it on to her.
"We soon discovered an unusual anomaly associated with the crystal. We noticed that when our bodies reached 22 years of age, the years no longer affected them. Our daughter and grandchildren were also affected. The aging process slowed considerably; so that it took 100 years on Earth for their bodies to age just one year. Even the citizens were given what was to be called a Lunar Life of one thousand years."
"How can I put this delicately?" McGonagall asked herself. "You look a little mature for a 22 year old man, Professor."
Dumbledore laughed. "I do at that, don't I. I was reborn. But I will get to that later.
"When Usagi, then The Princess Serenity was six hundred, and Harry, the Prince Albus, was one hundred years old, the Moon encountered her first enemy. That enemy was Queen Beryl, queen of the Moon of an alternate dimension the exact opposite of ours; a dimension where evil reigns supreme. She and her army broke past the gates of time and space that were being guarded by the lone soldier. She attacked the Moon with a fury."
Usagi and Harry had been listening intently, their eyes staring at the ground. They lifted their heads as Dumbledore's voice cracked on the last sentence. Usagi placed her small palm over his hand, and he covered her hand with his larger one.
"My daughter was able to trap Beryl in the depths of the Northern Polar cap of Earth. However, my wife was lost." Unable t o continue, Dumbledore sank into silence, and stared into the fireplace.
"That was the time that the rulers of the planets decided that a union was called for in case Beryl should break free of her icy prison." Usagi continued on. "The universal belief was that the moon was the most powerful place of all, thanks to my mother's defeat of Beryl.
"The rulers of each planet handed over authority to my mother, and the Silver Millennium of the White Moon Kingdom began. I became the High Crown Princess, and Albus became the High Prince.
"I know," Usagi said, interrupting a witch with short fuzzy grey hair, and yellow eyes like a hawk, before she could speak. "But on the moon, succession to the throne is strictly birth order.
"Beryl broke free one thousand years later." Usagi continued. "She spent two hundred years destroying the people of each planet. Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Mercury; their people and ecosystems were all destroyed. And there was nothing that the Royals or the planets' elite warriors, the Sailor Scouts, inner or outer, could do. Queen Beryl was strong last time, but this time, with the aid of the turn-coats of the planets and the hypnotized populace of earth, she was formidable beyond compare.
"It was on my 1800th birthday, that Beryl attacked the moon again, just after the Prince of Earth, Prince Endymion, proposed to me. The battle was long and strenuous. However, we fought with all our might. But it was not enough. One by one we started to fall.?
"Pluto, the guardian of the gates of space and time, had warned my mother, Queen Serenity that this was likely to happen. So, mother prepared a spell. She could save as many as 13 souls, no more.
"When the Inner Scouts, that is, Sailors Mercury, Mars, Venus and Jupiter, fell in battle, she collected their souls the moment they left their bodies. The Outers were the next to die; Sailors Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. She collected them too.
"Our forces were effectively destroyed by this time. The only people left in the entire alliance, were Prince Endymion, young Prince Albus, Mother, Grandfather, Luna, Artemis, and myself. Every other man, woman, child, and animal, had been eliminated."
"Who are Luna and Artemis?" Professor Snape asked, mesmerized by the infinite sadness in Usagi's voice.
"I am Luna." The feline said from the arm of Usagi's chair. "Artemis is a White Lunar Cat. He was the second of the advisors to the White Moon Empire. He is now the guardian of Minako, Princess and champion of Venus."
"A t-t-talking c-cat!" Quirril stuttered.
Usagi placed a soothing hand on Luna's back. "Mother, Luna, Artemis, and myself, were standing by the throne while Endymion, Albus and Grandfather, stood before it as our guard. Beryl barged into the Throne Room, and demanded that we give up.
"I remember Albus charging Beryl, and fighting her for what seemed an eternity. Until Albus made a wrong move and walked into one of Beryl's attacks. I watched his lifeless body fall to the ground as if in slow motion, and Grandfather attacked in a rage befitting a Martian Prince.
"He attacked with both sword and magic, and for a time, it seemed as if he were winning. But something happened. Somehow, one of his spells and one of Beryl's, combined, and Beryl was able to send it towards Grandfather. It hit him with such strength, that he was incinerated, and his soul was added to mother's collection.
"Endymion then charged at Beryl, and they took their turn to fight. That was, until, somehow, Beryl had wrestled the sword of justice out of his hand. Beryl made to run him through, and I teleported to push him out the way. I was a fraction too late, though, and the sword was impaled in my chest as well as Endymion's. That was when we died." Usagi went quiet; the memory of that day, haunting her mind.
"Artemis and I," Luna said, picking up the tale, "had already said we would go with the Scouts if that was necessary. So, when Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion died, Queen Serenity used the crystal to compete the spell. She sent us all to circle the earth in separate crystal cocoons, until a time when the Earth was safe, or we were needed again.
"From what The Great Queen's ghost had told Usagi, she had not the power to defeat the Queen of the Nega-Moon, so, she trapped her once more in the Northern Polar Cap.
"Queen Beryl won the battle of the moon, with the aid of seven demons which Queen Serenity trapped in the seven Rainbow Crystals-."
"What are the Rainbow Crystals?" Snape asked.
"The Rainbow Crystals were formed when the Queen separated the Silver Crystal into its various parts. The Queen sent the crystals o earth to hide until the Scouts awoke once more.
"I don't know why you or the older Prince Albus were reborn in this dimension, Harry, but I must assume you were born to defeat that black sorcerer who attacked you ten years ago.
"The rest of us were reborn in the same dimension in which we had died, a thousand years later, when Beryl escaped from her polar prison. Fourteen years after our rebirth, The Scouts were re-awoken, and Sailor Moon came into her power. Later that year, Princess Serenity was re-awoken in Usagi's subconscious.
"At the end of the year, the Scouts traveled to the Northern Polar Cap to face Queen Beryl again. The Scouts were killed on their way into the Dark Queen's base, and so Sailor Moon went on alone. Usagi?"
Usagi look up and smiled sadly at her friend as she smoothed her fur. "The battle was a one on one, me against Beryl. I could not defeat her as Sailor Moon, so I used the Crystal. I don't really know what happened, but I think that Mother helped me understand how to use the crystal. I turned into Princess Serenity, and I used the light of the crystal to destroy Queen Beryl, and to resurrect my Scouts and Endymion, who had fallen under the power of the Nega-Moon."
"So you are my sister?" Harry asked Usagi.
Usagi smiled sadly. "I'll always be your sister, in your heart. But we are no longer related by blood. Nor are we related to Professor Dumbledore by any way, but through the same way."
"You will always be my grandchildren." Dumbledore said as he passed around a plate of drinks. "We will always be family. Now Usagi, Why don't you tell us about Endymion?"
Usagi nodded. Lord Endymion... Prince Endymion was reborn as Chiba Mamoru. He was my fiancé until a... until a month ago."
"What happened?" Dumbledore asked gently.
"Your Great Niece." Usagi snapped venomously. Everyone in the room jumped at the hatred suddenly displayed in the apparently sweet yet sad, young woman's voice. "He's after the crystal."
"Why?" Snape, the first to recover, asked.
"To take over the Earth, most probably. That or destroy it. If I hadn't have caught him, and we had of married, he was suppose to, according to the legends, one day become the King of Earth, and I was suppose to become Neo Queen Serenity. Without me or the Crystal, he can't be King."
"How?" Snape asked. "You're a man of many words, aren't you?" Usagi asked sarcastically. "I will be the one to create a crystal sphere around to earth to protect it from a very strong enemy that is supposed to appear around my 22nd birthday, putting everyone to sleep for ten millennia, while I leave to become a stronger warrior. I am supposed to return to destroy the enemy; melt the sphere; unite the peoples of Earth; and create the capital of Earth, Crystal Tokyo."
"They don't want much, do they?" Luna asked rhetorically.
"Who was the cat woman?" Snape asked, amazed with his interest in the story.
"Lioness. One of Enydymion's minions. I don't know any more than that." Usagi replied, fighting to keep her annoyance with one Professor Snape, under control.
"I think it is time for bed." Dumbledore said, picking up on Usagi's animosity. His long white beard brushed the ground as he stood up. "Professor McGonagall, will you show your two new charges to Griffindor Tower?"
"Of course. Come children. Good night people." McGonagall said as she ushered Harry and Usagi out of the room.
"Good night, all. Sleep well." Dumbledore's voice followed after them.
"You are lucky that Professor Snape was in shock, young lady." McGonagall said as she led them through several passageways and up several fights of stairs. "Normally, your attitude would have cost Griffindor at least ten points total."
They stopped in front of a painting of a fat lady in a long pink silk dress. "Password?" The lady asked.
"Caput Draconis." McGonagall said. The painting swung aside, revealing a large spacious common room, decked out in Griffindor's Red and Gold. McGonagall directed them to their respective rooms, said good night, and then left.
"What a start to the term!" Usagi yawned. She hadn't realized how tired she was. "Good night, Shiro-chan."
"Good night, Ne-chan." They walked up their respective staircases, to their bedrooms. Each found five four-poster beds. "I have a sister..." Harry whispered as he lay down and listened to the other four boys sleep. Harry finally fell asleep a little while later, a smile plastered to his face.
