Chapter 15: I can fly!
Usagi had thought that no-one could be more annoying than Chibi-usa. That was of course, before she had met their Potions Master. Though he didn't deduct points from her, like he did to others, for stupid things like talking too loud in the hallways, he did seem to pop up everywhere Usagi was.
For example, on the day after their first Potions class, Usagi was studying in the library with the others. When she stepped outside for a break, Snape was beside her, suggesting she talk to Dumbledore about taking advanced classes.
The next Monday, Usagi was walking to the Great Hall for dinner, when Snape appeared besides her asking if she had finished the mountain of homework he had set for that week.
The next day, she was sitting outside, enjoying the sun, when Snape appeared, asking if she knew where McGonagall was, and then sitting down next to her to explain the presence of each herb in the small garden next to her.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Common Room-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-
Usagi was ecstatic on Monday, when she read on the notice board that the Griffindor first years would begin flying lessons on Thursday afternoon. That is, until she read further on Wednesday night that they were paired with Slytherin. The elation she had felt, when she realized that she had not seen Snape all day, was obliterated as she read that single word.
"Great!" Usagi groaned, sitting down with the others. "I finally get to see the difference between flying with wings, and on a broomstick, and it's with the number two thorn in my side!"
The other first years stared at her.
"You've flown on a creature with wings?" Seamus asked. Snape was the number one thorn in everyone's side. Though, this was especially true for Usagi's side. Usagi looked up at Luna, and both cat and human burst out laughing. "What's so funny?"
Usagi held up her hand, suggesting he wait a moment for her to regain her composure. "Seamus," She began after a moment, "I was the creature with the wings." Everyone in the room turned to the Lunar Princess, confused looks on their faces.
"You do realize that that makes no sense."
"It makes perfect sense, George." Usagi said humour still playing with her voice.
"How can you tell them apart?" Dean, another first year, asked.
"The expressions on their faces are different. George always looks a little guilty." Usagi said absently. "Chaos had taken over Sailor Galaxia; who in her pure form was the strongest scout ever born; and I had to fight her a few months ago. Even when she was corrupt, I couldn't beat her as my former form of Celestial Sailor Moon. So I called on the moon for help, and the power turned me into The Luna Angel. Chaos took over Galaxia completely, at that moment, and she became the Galactic Wraith.
(BN: I know, but I think that's a better was of putting it. ~_^ I have only heard about that series, I have never seen it, so this is a guess. I come from Australia, and we are still stuck at the bloody end of the R series! ~_~)
"The Luna Angel was made of pure love, and the Galactic Wraith, of pure hate. So we flew around for a while, on our wings, until I was able to touch her. The Luna Angel was able to love everyone, even the Galactic Wraith, after she had killed all my friends and my fiancé and future daughter."
"Future daughter?" Someone asked.
Usagi shook her head. "That's an even longer story. When I touched the Galactic Wraith, the unconditional love I offered, was too much for chaos to deal with. So it left Galaxia's body, and returned to the hearts of everyone. I was told that her spirit traveled back through time, and has grown again to be the protector of a neighboring galaxy, she was supposed to be."
"So," Neville began, staring at Usagi in awe "You've fought in like, wars, and battles, and stuff?"
"She is Sailor Moon." Luna reminded them from her place by the fire. "How many enemy bosses have you defeated as of date?"
"Anno. nine, maybe ten.I don't know, I've lost count." Usagi said with a shrug. "Let's see, the majorly difficult ones were Beryl, Wiseman, Mistress Nine (Who turned out to be a corrupt Sailor Scout), Pharaoh Ninety, and Galaxia/ Chaos."
"Something like that, anyway." Luna stretched, and then lay back down. "Time for bed, you lot. You have school tomorrow."
"Yes, Mum." Usagi joked.
"She's your mother?" Neville asked, stupidly.
"Of course not, dunder-head!" Dean said, jokingly tapping his head as he walked past. In the week and a half they had been in Hogwarts, everyone had gotten use to obeying Luna. Even the Weasley twins listened to her. most of the time.
The common room slowly emptied as the seven years of Griffindors filed up their respective staircases, and up to bed.
"Good night, boys." Usagi called out.
"Night, Usagi!" They called back.
Usagi looked around the room to make sure she hadn't forgotten something, and spotted Hermione, plowing through books on flying, like she had been doing all week. Usagi walked up behind her, and stopped. Hermione had known about the flying lessons since Monday, and had been making a general nuisance of herself to everyone, but Neville, who was just as nervous as she was about the following afternoon.
"Mio-chan" Usagi said softly as she walked around into her peripheral vision. "Time for bed."
"Can't" She said, tapping the large pile of books on flying, which lay beside her.
"You can't learn to fly from books." Usagi sighed.
"I can try. Hermione said stubbornly.
"And as a result, fall off your broom tomorrow, from fatigue... in front of the Slytherins." Usagi said, grabbing the book she was reading, and placing it on the pile. "You'll do fine, don't worry. Bed, now."
"You have been with Luna too long." Hermione groaned as Usagi pulled her up and they walked up the stairs to the first year's dorm.
"I know, isn't it awful?"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=The next morning, the Great Hall-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A small parcel was dropped in Neville's lap, at breakfast the next day. Neville removed the wrapping from the parcel, as the large screech owl flew away. The paper successfully extracted, he pulled out a glass globe, the size of a large marble.
"What is it?" Usagi asked.
"It's a rememberall" Replied Neville. "You see, when the mist inside turns red, oh-oh" The mist inside the globe turned scarlet as he held it up. "It means you've forgotten something."
As Neville stared at the rememberall, trying to remember what he had forgotten, Malfoy came up from behind, and snatched the ball from his hand. McGonagall, the teacher by far, with the best nose for trouble, was there in an instant.
"Is there some kind of trouble, boys?" She asked calmly.
"Draco Malfoy has my rememberall, Ma'am."
"Just looking." Malfoy muttered, tossing the ball back to Neville. He slinked back to his seat at the Slytherin table, Crabe and Goyal, following close behind as usual.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Flying Class-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
At three-thirty that afternoon, they all made their way to the flat field on the opposite side of the grounds to the Forbidden Forrest. The Slytherins were already there, waiting for their teacher, Madam Hooch; the witch with the short fuzzy grey hair and yellow eyes like a hawk.
"Well? What are you waiting for? We haven't got all day!" The excitable Madam Hooch exclaimed as she approached the class. "Everyone choose a broom, and stand on the left-hand side. Come on! Hurry up!"
Harry, Ron, Usagi, and Hermione, chose brooms next to each other. Usagi noticed that what the twins had said about the school brooms was probably right. Hers sure looked as if it would barely make it off the ground let a lone go in a straight line, what with the twigs poking every which way.
"Place your right hand over the broom, and say 'up'."
"Up!" Everyone shouted. Usagi's broom jumped straight up into her hand. Though she noticed that very few people seemed to have had the same result. Harry's had obeyed, as had Ron's. However, his broom had flown up so fast, that it hit him on the forehead. Harry and Usagi couldn't help it, they burst out laughing.
"Shut up, you two." He growled.
Usagi looked around. Hermione's broom was just rolling on the ground, while Neville's didn't move at all.
After a while, Madam Hooch showed them how to mount a broom without falling off the end. Harry and Usagi were delighted when Hooch told Malfoy, who had been bragging about having been riding a broom since he was a young child, that he had been doing it wrong for years.
"When you hear my whistle, kick off the ground, as hard as you can." Hooch said when she was satisfied with their seat. "Keep your broom steady, rise up a few feet, and then come straight back down. One- Two- Come back here, boy!"
Neville, in his fear of being left on the ground, had kicked off early, and was now shooting like a rocket, up into the sky. The class watched him tilt sideways, fall off his broom, and hit the ground with a loud thump. The broom continued to rise higher and higher, and then fly over the Forbidden Forrest, and out of sight.
Neville whimpered as a pale Madam Hooch, helped him to his feet. "A broken wrist! Poor boy. Come on, I'll take you to the infirmary." She turned back to the class "Not one broom is to leave the ground while I'm gone. The first one to do so will be expelled before they could say Quidditch!"
Hooch led the sobbing boy up to the castle, and no sooner had they gone out of sight, as Malfoy burst out laughing.
"Did you see his face?"
All the Slytherins burst out laughing.
"Shut up, Baka yaro!" Usagi snapped.
"What does that mean?" Malfoy sneered.
"Look it up!"
"Humph!" Malfoy spotted something in the grass, and dove for it. "Look here! It seems as if the stupid git dropped his rememberall. I think I'll put it somewhere for him to find."
"Give it here, Malfoy." Harry commanded.
Malfoy climbed on his broom. "Come and get it." Malfoy wasn't joking when he said he could fly. He rose smoothly up into the air, and hovered a few feet above their heads.
Harry got on his broom, and Hermione stormed forward. "Harry, no! You heard what Madam Hooch said. You'll get in trouble!"
Harry brushed her off, and flew up into the air. Usagi watched in apprehension, as they spoke out of the spectators on the ground's earshot for a moment, and then Harry shot towards Malfoy like an arrow released from a string. Usagi held her breath as Malfoy dodged him, and threw the ball high in the air.
Harry Shot forward again, then suddenly changed directions, and shot towards the ground. He jumped off the broom, and rolled on the ground. For a moment, Usagi was scared that he had seriously hurt himself. But he got up off the ground, holding the glass cause of the trouble in the air in triumph.
"HARRY POTTER!" Usagi yelled at the same time as someone else. She didn't care, though. She ran towards him. "How DARE you do something so STUPID, so IRRESPONSIBLE, so... so... You could have broken your neck! It seems as if you lost your BRAIN when you were reincarnated!"
"Enough!" Usagi realized that the person who had yelled out before must be standing right behind her. "Let me have a go at him." Usagi turned to see that the other person was none other than their own Professor McGonagall. "Potter, Come."
"But, Professor, It wasn't his fault-"
"Enough, Miss. Patil-"
"But Malfoy-"
"Be quiet, Mr. Weasley."
McGonagall led Harry away, and Usagi turned around to face Malfoy.
"You." She venomously. "You are just as irresponsible as Harry. You were so caught up in your stupid game... you are lucky that you aren't being punished as well."
Malfoy snickered. 'Big mistake.' She thought. "You think this is funny, do you?" She lowered her voice so that only Malfoy would be able to hear. "Let me warn you... And I only ever give one warning... If Harry gets expelled because of you, you won't even have a chance to wish you had never been born. No one messes with my family." She said her voice so cold, it could give an iceberg freezer-burn. She walked back over to the Griffindors, leaving behind a very pale, very shaky Draco Malfoy.
"Right!" Madam Hooch said when she returned a moment later. "Where is Mr. Potter?"
"Professor McGonagall wanted to talk with him." Usagi said calmly, with no hint of the rage she had shown Malfoy only moments before. "Didn't she, Malfoy?"
Malfoy nodded his head, not trusting his voice.
"Professor McGonagall wanted to talk to Mr. Potter, did she?" Madam Hooch asked.
"Yes, sensei" Usagi replied.
"Well then, let's get back to work! Everyone, back to your brooms!"
"Not so fast!" Usagi spun around to face the voice, cursing herself for not noticing it in her anger. Lioness prowled up within a few metres of the flying class. "Little brothers can be such a pain, can't they?"
In her fear of Harry's life, she had not noticed the warning twinge that told her that an agent of the Negaverse was coming. Growling, Usagi said, "What do you want Nega-bakkai? Cant you see I'm busy?"
Lioness growled. "Lord Endymion has lost patience-"
"Well, she isn't here, go away." Usagi snapped.
"Oh! So funny!" Lioness sneered sarcastically. "You should have a show in Vegas."
"Is this going somewhere? Or did you just come here to throw insults at me?"
"No, I came here to supply the castle with another ghost." Lioness snapped back.
"OH! I'm sorry! We already have a full house. I'm afraid we just don't have room for you." Usagi said in mock apology.
"Die!" To Usagi's surprise, Lioness jumped at her, brandishing her claws.
Usagi just managed to jump out of the way, and pull her broach free. She held it up, thankful for the temporary shield, which encased her while she transformed. A moment later, Celestial Sailor Moon stood before the group, waving a disapproving finger at Lioness.
"Now, now! Temper, temper!" she chided.
"Grrr.Kaze bureido!" Lioness growled as she sliced the air, sending sharp currents of wind towards her.
"Crystal Mamoru!" The silver crystal glowed for a moment, as Sailor Moon was enveloped in an opaque pink crystal shield. The Kaze bureido hit the shield, and was absorbed. Sailor Moon sped towards Lioness, her fist drawn back. "Moonlight Punch!" Sailor Moon brought her fist forward towards Lioness' face.
Lioness only just managed to bring up her arm in time to block to attack. Lioness took advantage of the close proximity, by throwing punch after punch, and kick after kick, her body encased in her own power, into Sailor Moon's body, until the shield shattered with the stress, and Sailor Moon started absorbing the attacks.
Sailor Moon hunched over as the last volley of attacks took their toll. Lioness drover her elbow into her back, and Sailor Moon fell to the ground with a groan of pain. Just before she hit the ground, Lioness drew back her foot, to kick her so hard, that she flew four metres into the air, and landed ten metres away. Sailor Moon lay on her back, motionless. Lioness strode over to the limp body, and stood over her.
'No! I can't let it end like this! I must fight!' She thought as she summoned up her reserves. 'I can't let Endymion have the crystal! He'll destroy the world!'
Lioness laughed as she bent over her enemy. "How the mighty have fallen."
Sailor Moon slammed her fist into the cat-woman's chest, with enough force to fling her away long enough for Sailor Moon to climb to her feet. She brought her hands up to her forehead as if in prayer. "Cosmic..." She held her clasped hands above her head. "Crescent..." She brought her hands down in an arc, a bright pinkish-yellow string of light connected to her fingers, from the glowing crescent moon on her forehead. "Cannon!" She splayed her fingers, and a thick beam of light, surrounded by ten thinner beams, shot towards lioness, from Sailor Moon's hands.
Lioness crossed her arms, protecting herself as the beam hit. She fought to keep her ground, but slowly at first, then faster, she was pushed back. Suddenly, Lioness' face lost all resemblance to that of a human, and was converted to that of her namesake's. She stopped moving backwards, and started pushing her way forward, the lioness in her roaring as she put one foot in front of the other.
"Okaasan! Tasukete!" Sailor Moon cried out as she felt Lioness' power overriding her own.
"I am forever here, Daughter!" Sounded a disembodied voice. The flying class watched with their teacher, as a ghost of a tall woman, dressed in a silky gown, and the same hair style as Sailor Moon, appeared behind the Lunar Warrior. The class watched as the crystal broach began to glow a brilliant pale-purple, and the peaceful ghost flew over them, giving them all a sense of love and courage, instead of the icy feeling one would usually get when a ghost touched you. The ghost of Sailor Moon's mother, placed herself in the middle of the beam, and as it passed through her, it seemed to grow in intensity. Lioness' knees buckled under the renewed strength of the Crescent Cannon. "Now! Daughter, now!"
Sailor Moon closed her eyes, and the glow of the crystal reverted to her pale-pink, as she resumed control. "Crystal... Healing... Power!"
Queen Serenity disappeared as the crystal, now floating above High Crown Princess Serenity's head, shot a broad pink beam of light, which stuck Lioness a second after Serenity disengaged the Crescent Cannon.
A scream, like that of a cat in pain, was heard as the light surrounded Lioness. A moment later, both human and lioness, which had been fused to make Lord Endymion's minion, were separated and they fell to the ground, and into unconsciousness.
Sailor Moon gasped as the crystal's light abated, and the crystal returned to the broach. The last thing Sailor Moon saw, was Madam Hooch running towards her. She didn't see what happened next, as the darkness of unconsciousness, won her over.

McGonagall led Harry away, and Usagi turned around to face Malfoy.
"You." She venomously. "You are just as irresponsible as Harry. You were so caught up in your stupid game... you are lucky that you aren't being punished as well."
Malfoy snickered. 'Big mistake.' She thought. "You think this is funny, do you?" She lowered her voice so that only Malfoy would be able to hear. "Let me warn you... And I only ever give one warning... If Harry gets expelled because of you, you won't even have a chance to wish you had never been born. No one messes with my family." She said her voice so cold, it could give an iceberg freezer-burn. She walked back over to the Griffindors, leaving behind a very pale, very shaky Draco Malfoy.
"Right!" Madam Hooch said when she returned a moment later. "Where is Mr. Potter?"
"Professor McGonagall wanted to talk with him." Usagi said calmly, with no hint of the rage she had shown Malfoy only moments before. "Didn't she, Malfoy?"
Malfoy nodded his head, not trusting his voice.
"Professor McGonagall wanted to talk to Mr. Potter, did she?" Madam Hooch asked.
"Yes, sensei" Usagi replied.
"Well then, let's get back to work! Everyone, back to your brooms!"
"Not so fast!" Usagi spun around to face the voice, cursing herself for not noticing it in her anger. Lioness prowled up within a few metres of the flying class. "Little brothers can be such a pain, can't they?"
In her fear of Harry's life, she had not noticed the warning twinge that told her that an agent of the Negaverse was coming. Growling, Usagi said, "What do you want Nega-bakkai? Cant you see I'm busy?"
Lioness growled. "Lord Endymion has lost patience-"
"Well, she isn't here, go away." Usagi snapped.
"Oh! So funny!" Lioness sneered sarcastically. "You should have a show in Vegas."
"Is this going somewhere? Or did you just come here to throw insults at me?"
"No, I came here to supply the castle with another ghost." Lioness snapped back.
"OH! I'm sorry! We already have a full house. I'm afraid we just don't have room for you." Usagi said in mock apology.
"Die!" To Usagi's surprise, Lioness jumped at her, brandishing her claws.
Usagi just managed to jump out of the way, and pull her broach free. She held it up, thankful for the temporary shield, which encased her while she transformed. A moment later, Celestial Sailor Moon stood before the group, waving a disapproving finger at Lioness.
"Now, now! Temper, temper!" she chided.
"Grrr.Kaze bureido!" Lioness growled as she sliced the air, sending sharp currents of wind towards her.
"Crystal Mamoru!" The silver crystal glowed for a moment, as Sailor Moon was enveloped in an opaque pink crystal shield. The Kaze bureido hit the shield, and was absorbed. Sailor Moon sped towards Lioness, her fist drawn back. "Moonlight Punch!" Sailor Moon brought her fist forward towards Lioness' face.
Lioness only just managed to bring up her arm in time to block to attack. Lioness took advantage of the close proximity, by throwing punch after punch, and kick after kick, her body encased in her own power, into Sailor Moon's body, until the shield shattered with the stress, and Sailor Moon started absorbing the attacks.
Sailor Moon hunched over as the last volley of attacks took their toll. Lioness drover her elbow into her back, and Sailor Moon fell to the ground with a groan of pain. Just before she hit the ground, Lioness drew back her foot, to kick her so hard, that she flew four metres into the air, and landed ten metres away. Sailor Moon lay on her back, motionless. Lioness strode over to the limp body, and stood over her.
'No! I can't let it end like this! I must fight!' She thought as she summoned up her reserves. 'I can't let Endymion have the crystal! He'll destroy the world!'
Lioness laughed as she bent over her enemy. "How the mighty have fallen."
Sailor Moon slammed her fist into the cat-woman's chest, with enough force to fling her away long enough for Sailor Moon to climb to her feet. She brought her hands up to her forehead as if in prayer. "Cosmic..." She held her clasped hands above her head. "Crescent..." She brought her hands down in an arc, a bright pinkish-yellow string of light connected to her fingers, from the glowing crescent moon on her forehead. "Cannon!" She splayed her fingers, and a thick beam of light, surrounded by ten thinner beams, shot towards lioness, from Sailor Moon's hands.
Lioness crossed her arms, protecting herself as the beam hit. She fought to keep her ground, but slowly at first, then faster, she was pushed back. Suddenly, Lioness' face lost all resemblance to that of a human, and was converted to that of her namesake's. She stopped moving backwards, and started pushing her way forward, the lioness in her roaring as she put one foot in front of the other.
"Okaasan! Tasukete!" Sailor Moon cried out as she felt Lioness' power overriding her own.
"I am forever here, Daughter!" Sounded a disembodied voice. The flying class watched with their teacher, as a ghost of a tall woman, dressed in a silky gown, and the same hair style as Sailor Moon, appeared behind the Lunar Warrior. The class watched as the crystal broach began to glow a brilliant pale-purple, and the peaceful ghost flew over them, giving them all a sense of love and courage, instead of the icy feeling one would usually get when a ghost touched you. The ghost of Sailor Moon's mother, placed herself in the middle of the beam, and as it passed through her, it seemed to grow in intensity. Lioness' knees buckled under the renewed strength of the Crescent Cannon. "Now! Daughter, now!"
Sailor Moon closed her eyes, and the glow of the crystal reverted to her pale-pink, as she resumed control. "Crystal... Healing... Power!"
Queen Serenity disappeared as the crystal, now floating above High Crown Princess Serenity's head, shot a broad pink beam of light, which stuck Lioness a second after Serenity disengaged the Crescent Cannon.
A scream, like that of a cat in pain, was heard as the light surrounded Lioness. A moment later, both human and lioness, which had been fused to make Lord Endymion's minion, were separated and they fell to the ground, and into unconsciousness.
Sailor Moon gasped as the crystal's light abated, and the crystal returned to the broach. The last thing Sailor Moon saw, was Madam Hooch running towards her. She didn't see what happened next, as the darkness of unconsciousness, won her over.
