Chapter 2
"Embarrassing moments...."
"There has to be a mistake professor!" wailed Serenity loudly starring at the deputy mistress with a desperate look. By now all the pairs where in McGonagal's office as well as Professor Meioh. Currently she tried to convince the Professor that being paired up with Harry Potter was just a huge mistake, a HUGE mistake. Alright, so she enjoyed seeing him in the hallways, giving him snide remarks and having the constant quarrellings. She liked those in fact, she enjoyed the small wars between them. But staying with Potter for the REST of the year wasn't so great anymore. Especially if they were going to share the same quarters. Serenity hated this prospect, either one of them wont survive for sure.
"I can assure you Miss Moon, that there is no mistake," Answered McGonagal, giving her a stern look trying to put the discussion to an end.
"But you really cant be serious," protested Harry, there was a hint of desperation in his voice. He really didn't like the idea of being together with Serenity for the whole year yet alone be paired up with her.
"The pairs were carefully chosen Mr. Potter. We are quite sure that there are no mistakes," said McGonagal sternly, giving both a look that said, 'One-more-peep-and-you'll-be-in-detention'
Yet Serenity completely ignored the look and pressed, "We really don't get along Professor! By the end of the year, I am sure you'll find a dead body," she wailed.
"We're going to rip each other's head off," added Harry.
"I really don't see the problem," said Professor Meioh finally her eyes holding much mirth. "You two seem to agree that you shouldn't be paired up together, so there! You agree on something,"
Serenity tried to protest but quickly shut her mouth. She gave Harry a nasty look before turning to the professor angrily, "Nobody will blame me if you will find his dead body!" she said huffily before sulking into the corner far away from an angry Harry.
"You two behave like children," commented Malfoy in a low voice switching his gaze between Serenity and Harry.
"Shut up Malfoy, I got other things to worry about than you right now," muttered Harry darkly glaring at the blond boy.
Serenity narrowed her eyes, "Nobody ever asked for your opinion anyway," she said giving Malfoy a dark look.
"Ah I see that everyone has arrived," exclaimed Professor Dumbledore happily as he walked into the room. His eyes swept over all the students in the room with a happy glint completely ignoring a fuming Serenity and a frustrated Harry. "I see that you have found you partners, and I hope that you are very much contented with them,"
Serenity was about to protest but was roughly poked in the ribs by Nina. She glared at her friend but shut up, 'Fine, be it that way..but nobody will blame me if they find Potter's dead body' she thought darkly.
"As you may know, I have mentioned that there will be special classes for you. You will find out about these when you will be receiving your schedules. As of now, we shall be giving you a map, this will tell you where your new quarters are and the passwords. Of course you are still allowed to go to your house towers and do visits." Informed Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagal handed each pair a rolled piece of parchment. Frankly Serenity wasn't much interested about where they would be staying for the rest of the term. She'd rather stay outside in the grounds and live in a tent than be staying with Harry Potter. 'Give me a blanket and I'd gladly sleep under it on the grounds outside,' she thought darkly glowering at the professors.
"I think that all of you are very tired, it's best of you all run along now and go to your new quarters. All of your belongings are already brought to your rooms. I hope you all have a pleasant sleep," and with that the headmaster dismissed them
As the last student left the office Professor Meioh broke into a smile gazing at the spot where Serenity stood earlier. "I think everything will turn out fine," she said thoughtfully.
"They seem to disagree a lot," commented McGonagal giving the mysterious teacher an apprehensive look. 'Sure Harry Potter was a good student, Serenity Moon was quite smart but still those two were like, what those muggles call, a ticking time bomb, which could explode any minute,' mused McGonagal.
Professor Meioh smiled, "The princess and prince are doing fine,"
~Outside, in the halls~
"Well Potter, I guess I am stuck with you," muttered Serenity darkly after bidding her friends goodbye.
"Don't sound so happy about it," said Harry giving her a cocky grin.
Serenity fought the urge to hit him on the head, "Shut up and start finding our quarters," she snapped.
Both of them continued walking in awkward silence in the completely deserted hallway. They continued walking for another five minutes in silence until they reached the end of a corridor with a statue of a young woman with long hair, wearing an elaborate dress.
"This is it? Are you sure?" said an out of breath Serenity.
"This is it," assured Harry looking at the piece of parchment in his hands. "Moonlight serenade," muttered Harry to the statue. It slowly moved to the side, revealing a small entrance.
"See I am right," said Harry giving Serenity a triumphant look.
Serenity rolled her eyes and brushed past him without giving him a backward glance. When she entered their quarters, she was amazed.
"Wow," she breathed silently taking everything in.
"Yeah, wow," muttered Harry following Serenity in, starring at everything with huge eyes.
The room was quite small but still very breathtaking. It was the common room, a small fireplace stood in one corner. It looked much like any other common room, but with a lot more books and paintings.
"I think this is where the bedrooms are," said Serenity pointing towards a wooden door. When she opened it, she was expecting to see to other doors leading to separate bedrooms but what she saw was something else. "Bloody hell!" she exclaimed loudly.
"What?!" shouted Harry hurrying into the room with a somewhat worried expression. "What are you shouting about?" he asked exasperated when he found her still standing and breathing.
"This!" she said pointing to two four poster beds parallel to each other a couple of feet away. The beds had white sheets with white and silver draperies. The carpet was white with the Hogwarts crest in the middle. There were two separate closets and a small bookshelf.
"What the," mumbled Harry in disbelief taking everything in.
"What ever happened to the 'Keep the boys and girls beds as far away as possible' policy?" muttered Serenity darkly walking towards the bed by the window.
"This cant be happening, I am not sharing a bedroom with you!" Harry said giving Serenity a dark look.
"Hey," she protested loudly. "It isn't my fault that you are stuck with me, I didn't agree with this. Do I look happy to you?!"
Harry sighed, "Whatever,"
Serenity walked towards another door and opened it, "Peachy, just peachy. This is all so bloody brilliant," she muttered to herself darkly staring into the door.
"What now?" asked a really frustrated Harry. "Can there be anything more worse than this?"
"There is only one bathroom," pointed out Serenity flatly.
"What?!" exclaimed Harry in disbelief. 'I should learn to keep my mouth shut if I want to stay alive,' he thought dryly.
Serenity sighed while placing a hand on her throbbing forehead, "Look, there's nothing much we can do now, can we? I guess we are really stuck together," she muttered to Harry, still not accepting the fact.
Harry nodded in understanding, "I guess,"
"Now here are the rules," announced Serenity giving Harry 'the look'. "In the morning, I will be first to use the bathroom, no funny business. And no doing something that you might regret at night!" she said raising a delicate eyebrow. "So you better keep you crazy testosterone filled body to yourself, understand?!"
Harry's eyes widened with understanding as what she meant with the last sentence, "What do you think I am? A pervert?" he said hotly glaring at the blond.
"Well, it a know fact that all people with male hormones are perverts, testosterone just runs through men's body system like blood," she said innocently.
"Well I am not perverted!" he retorted hotly. "What about me? I also need to use the bathroom in the morning! Do you expect me to wait for you to until you are done with whatever things you are doing in the morning?" he asked trying to change the subject, it was quite evident the hints of red were on his cheeks.
"..."
"What?! Tell me, oh-queen-of-the-universe, what must I do now?" he asked hotly.
Serenity heaved a loud sigh, "Look," she began her cheeks began to flame hotly. "There's a shower and a bathtub, as long as you don't wander around naked and go peeking. Might as well share it at the same time," she said her cheeks reddening furiously.
Harry began to blush red as a tomato, "Agreed," he muttered. Silently he wondered why this is happening to him.
"I'll change now, in the bathroom. I need some sleep," announced Serenity after a minute of uncomfortable silence. She quickly grabbed her white night gown and slipped into the bathroom.
Harry continued to blush furiously as he began to change into his pjs. His mind wandering to what it would be like in the morning sharing a bathroom with Serenity. 'Stop it! Now you are really acting like a pervert! Snap out of it! This is the girl that called you four-eyes and Harry Pothead, who hit you with a cauldron cake in the face and placed a flobberworm down your shirt! You shouldn't be thinking about her that way! This is Serenity Moon we are talking about!' commanded Harry to himself. Yet somehow he couldn't bring himself to wipe her out of his mind.
~Bathroom~
Serenity glared at her reflection as she pulled out her long hair out of its French braid, letting it tumble to the ground. 'Why the hell am I paired with Potter?' she asked herself. 'Because you hoped you would,' answered another voice inside of her. She glared at her reflection even more, 'Why would I?' she asked, she had an inking suspicion that she already knew the answer.
'Because you like him,' answered her inner voice again.
Serenity rolled her eyes, 'No I don't,' she answered. 'You like him and you know it, you always like catching his attention, you like his eyes. The way they stare at you and burn into your soul. The way he gives you that smirk, or his famous laugh. You like him, from the moment you threw your wand at him. Face it, you like him,' announced the inner voice triumphantly. Serenity knew that in a way it was correct.
She scowled at her reflection not accepting the feelings inside of her, "No I don't," she said sharply at her own reflection. 'I don't want to have any feelings for anybody, I don't want to,' she convinced herself pushing all those sudden emotions she felt earlier with Potter back to wherever they came from.
"Who are you talking to, Moon?" she heard Harry's muffled voice.
"None of your friggin' business, Potter," she shouted back rolling her eyes.
'Don't deny it,' she hard the small voice again. Serenity glared at nothing in particular, "I don't need no one in my life, I am perfectly fine with being alone. I don't need no one, especially no Harry Potter," she whispered to herself angrily. She quickly walked to the door and closing it with a loud bang.
"Don't deny your feelings child," whispered an eerie voice from the mirror. It was clearly a woman, yet her appearance was quite vague. One thing was sure, a golden crescent Moon glowed brightly.
~Back in the bedroom~
"What's your problem?!" shouted Harry angrily, upon being awoken by the loud banging of the door, sitting up in his bed staring at the frustrated blond with sleepy eyes. He wasn't wearing is glasses, so all he saw was a blurry white and gold outline. He grabbed his glassed by the night table and slipped them on. What he saw, he almost caught his breath...well....almost. Serenity wearing nothing but a long white night gown. It had spaghetti straps and almost looked like a flourishing gown. She almost looked like an angel with her golden locks falling around her shoulders....almost like an angel, she could be the devil as well. 'An attractive devil-angel at that,' thought Harry silently. He shock his head in annoyance, 'Stop thinking that way!' he ordered himself.
"None for you to be concerned about!" retorted Serenity hotly completely ignoring him staring at her. She quickly marched to her bed and gave him a sideward glance, "No funny business at night!" she threatened him angrily. "You just keep your testosterone in check.." she muttered angrily.
Harry blushed indignantly, "Why would I put a move on you anyway?" he said hotly. He removed his glasses and placed them back on the night table, and slumped into his bed. Pulling the covers up to his head and turning his back to Serenity's bed.
Serenity mumbled something about perverted greened-eyed potheads but soon blew out the candle and pulling the covers over her head and turning her back to Harry as well. Immediately falling to sleep.
Two different people sharing the same bedroom, sharing the same destiny, the same.....they shall share the same future and.......past.
~Next Morning, Sunday~
Sunlight poured through the huge window, bathing the bedroom with sunshine. Serenity mumbled lightly, her face being hit by the morning sun. Opening one eye groggily she starred at the window accusingly. She soon realized that she wouldn't get back to sleep anyway, Serenity rose to a sitting position on her bed and mumbled something about 'being awake at an ungodly hour and shutting off the sun,'. Rubbing out the last signs of sleep in her eyes, she soon realized that she wasn't in her dorm.
"Where the hell am I?!" she mumbled under her breath, taking in the room. her eyes grew wide with realization, remembering last night's events. "Bloody hell, so it wasn't a dream.....that means," she mumbled.
She turned her head to the right, quickly finding the bed identical to hers with a sleeping Harry Potter in it. Serenity frowned, giving the sleeping boy a silent glare. She somehow forgot what she was doing, and instead began watching Harry silently. She watched as a few locks of black hair fell into his eyes, she somehow had the itching urge to walk up to him and brush them away. 'Damn it! Why am I thinking this way?! This is Harry Potter....how many times have I to make it clear that I don't want him or any boy at all?!' she mentally slapped herself out of her stupor. 'Though...he's still kinda cute,' she added, a small grin appearing on her face. An evil grin spread on her face when she came up with a little plan. 'Even how cute you may are Potter....you still are my victim...' she thought as she climbed out her bed, trying hard to not make any noise.
~5 minutes later~
Serenity grinned at her handy work, she stood at the side of Harry's bed starring down at her sleeping victim with happiness. 'Oh this is going to be so much fun....' she thought happily. Her eyes wandered to the little string she carefully tied around his wrist, the string was movement sensitive meaning if he'd wake up the string would react. The string would pull down the huge bucket that was floating above the bed silently. Serenity suppressed a giggle as she starred at the huge bucket filled it ice water. 'Oh joy,' she thought happily.
'Now time for a shower,' Serenity thought happily walking to the bathroom. Perhaps the only reason she left for the bathroom was because she wouldn't like to be in the same room with Harry if he woke up and be gauzed with ice water.
"Hmmm, hmmm," Serenity hummed to herself happily while washing out the remains of shampoo in her hair. A huge grin spread across her face, knowing that Harry would wake up any minute. Carefully stepping out of the shower, she grabbed a white towel quickly an wrapped it around her wet body quickly just in case Harry came bursting into the bathroom without her even noticing.
Just as she turned to the mirror, a loud splash of water came from the next room followed by a lot of cursing. Serenity smirked happily, imagining the dripping wet Harry Potter in his soggy bed.
"ARGHHH! TSUKINO!!!!!! DAMN!" she heard Harry holler from the next room.
Serenity smirked, 'Oh joy,' she thought happily. Readjusting her towel, she began to count, "One, two, three...". Serenity giggled lightly still staring at her reflection, it gave her a full view of the door behind her. "Four..." She continued, 'Get ready with the fireworks,' she added happily. Yes she was quite very happy with her handy work and she couldn't wait to see Harry's steaming red face and she was practically eager what he would say to her but one thought didn't cross her mind at all....she was almost clad naked.. only a mere towel covering her feminine body..and most of all she didn't know what that would do to poor Harry. "...Five" finished Serenity happily.
As if on cue, the bathroom door burst open, a dripping wet Harry Potter stood in the doorway gazing at Serenity's back with pure murder. Perhaps because of the red he was seeing, or just because of all the white in the room, Harry Potter wasn't quite aware of seeing a half-naked Serenity in the bathroom but instead he just saw Serenity, the girl who made his life a living hell.
"Why the hell did you pull that prank?!?!?! That water was freezing cold! Who the hell do you think you...." Harry trailed off upon finally realizing one little detail that he missed earlier.
"Yes?" asked Serenity innocently finally turning around and gazing somewhat innocently at a dripping Harry. It was very funny to look at him through the help of the mirror, seeing him go ranting on, breathing in harshly in and out like a wounded dragon. But it was much more funnier to see him up close, she immediately burst into a fit of giggles....still forgetting that she was clad in a towel.
Harry's eyes went wide as saucers, okay so waking up in the morning and being greeted by freezing water was still a bit bearable but this wasn't. Seeing Serenity Moon in a towel, which was actually a few inches above her knees, which caused to show much of flesh, was too much for Harry's liking. So being a 17-year-old boy that he is, it really did something to him, seeing a half-naked girl, which of course shouldn't really happen. 'Oh my god,' thought Harry blushing furiously still staring at the young giggling towel clad blond in front of him. He knew Serenity was a attractive, and now this....she looked....what was the word? Breathtaking, beautiful...gorgeous.
As if sensing Harry's anger was no more, Serenity stopped giggling and frowned. 'What now?' she thought exasperated. She noted that Harry wasn't looking furious at all, but instead he looked much like he was....what?....gaping. 'What the?' thought Serenity. Her eyes widened with realization upon realizing, what Harry really was gaping at. She blushed furiously, unconsciously becoming panicky.
"YOU PERVERTED JERK!" shrieked Serenity, now trying futilely tugging on her towel, pulling it down to cover up her over exposed legs.
Harry blushed even redder when he saw considerably too much cleavage as Serenity tugged on the end of her towel. "Pervert?!" he said hotly, somehow coming to himself after a long display of too much flesh of Serenity but still his eyes still wandered over her body and finding himself gaping at her.
Serenity went crimson, upon realizing that when she pulled the end of her towel it lower too much, exposing much cleavage in Harry's direction. Epping loudly, she pulled the towel up, now at least refraining to show cleavage. "You heard me right! PERVERT!" she shrieked loudly. "GET OUT!" she shouted glaring daggers at Harry but still blushing furiously.
Harry immediately nodded, expertly dodging the bar of soap and roll of toilet paper being thrown his way, and followed her order, zooming out of the bathroom and slamming it shut loudly.
"Pervert, moron, jerk," muttered Serenity under her breath. A faint blush apparent on her cheeks, she tried deny the fact that currently her heart was going a mile a minute. Trying to calm herself a bit, she starred at her reflection, and growled angrily. "What are you looking at?!" she snapped exasperatedly. Serenity quickly changed into a pair of black jeans and a white sweater. After pulling on her sneakers Serenity walked out the bathroom.
~Bedroom~
Harry tried hard not to blush as Serenity walked out the bathroom. Even though of the very much embarrassing encounter in the bathroom, Harry couldn't help but notice how....what was the word?....lovely she looked if her hair cascaded down her back. Shaking his head, and blushing lightly he walked briskly past Serenity and into the bathroom deciding that it was time for him to take a shower. A cold shower, perhaps. To cool down his body and trying to calm him and his whole body down from the sight that he had seen earlier.
"Pervert," muttered Serenity darkly as Harry passed her. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks upon remembering their little ordeal.
Harry ignored that little insult, deciding that it was high time for him to take his shower or else he might explode. 'This is ridiculous, I cant be falling for that.....that....that....urgh!' he mentally screamed being unable to find a right 'bad' word to describe Serenity.
"This is too much, when the term ends, I'll be insane," muttered Harry while in the shower. Somehow he had a cold feeling about all of this, no this isn't from the cold water of the shower, but he felt his stomach churn upon remembering Serenity. Fighting back the urge to groan, Harry Potter knew that this year was going to be quite eventful.
~Great hall~
"Stupid, moronic, perverted, four-eyed, pothead," muttered Serenity under her breath upon entering the hall for breakfast. She quickly exited their quarters after Harry left to the bathroom, one more minute in that room and she would have physically assaulted Harry and killed him. 'Gotta say, he did look cute being all wet,' chided her mind. Serenity fought the urge to groan out loud or perhaps.....blush. 'Damn it, I don't feel anything for him! understand?!' she mentally berated herself.
Serenity snapped out of her mental ranting when she realized that there was an extra table lined up. The table was situated next to the Hufflepuff table near the wall, studying its occupants, Serenity quickly realized that it as the table for the Partnership students. 'And here I was thinking that I could actually get some time AWAY from Potter,' she thought while quickly crossing the hall and taking the empty seat next to her friend Nina.
"I see you are still very much alive," said Malfoy sitting near the end of the table and giving Serenity a cocky grin.
Serenity rolled her eyes and glared at Malfoy, "Will you shut up? I had a lousy morning and now your adding it up! If you wanna stay alive till this afternoon then you better keep quiet!" she snapped.
"Oh what's so lousy about the morning? Found Potter in your bed?" countered Malfoy sneering.
Serenity's eyes widened and she began to blush upon remembering the bathroom ordeal. 'Damn he looked cute,' she thought silently remembering Harry's angry face. She snapped out of it and growled at Malfoy, "Just shut up, it's already worse as it is that I have to see you at every meal!"
"So Sere, how was you night? Sleep well?" asked Nina trying quickly to change the subject or else they might see a dead Malfoy any second.....not that she mind of course.
"Fine I guess," mumbled Serenity while eating her breakfast.
"Well me and Hermione had a blast last night! Right 'Mione?" squealed Nina in delight grinning happily across the table at Hermione.
"Let me guess, you two talked only about.....lessons, right?" asked Serenity flatly eyeing the two.
"Yeah! We think we all might get much advanced lesson than regular 7th years," said Hermione happily.
"Well, got a hand it to you, you're pretty much in good shape after staying with Potter for a whole night," said Mia, giving Serenity a cheeky grin.
"I know, I don't know if I'll ever be the same after the year ends," said Serenity sarcastically.
"Morning Harry!" greeted Hermione upon seeing Harry approach their table.
"Mornin'," mumbled Harry taking the seat next to Hermione. He looked up and right across him sat Serenity. Blushing furiously he turned his attention to the food infront of him.
"I see you didn't die either, Potter. What a shame," commented Malfoy upon seeing Harry.
Harry looked up and glare at the blond boy, "Can it Malfoy, it's already bad enough that you are actually here," he shot back.
"Do I look like that I enjoy this? Think again Potter, its already bad enough that I got to sit with some stupid mudbloods," he shot Hermione a dark look, who in turn glared.
"Take that back Malfoy," hissed Serenity angrily, glaring at Malfoy and at Timothy, who began to snicker. 'Slytherins, all the same,' she thought darkly.
"Are there any problems here?" came a feminine voice breaking the hostility immediately. Her garnet eyes sweeping over a glowering Serenity.
"No, Professor Meioh," said Mia, flashing the Professor a smile while keeping her eyes peeled on Malfoy and glaring at him.
"Everything is just fine," added Serenity while giving the Professor a forced smile.
"I see," mumbled Professor Meioh thoughtfully. "I hope you all have had a wonderful night's sleep in your new quarters. Well I best be off, I hope you will all have a wonderful day," with that the Professor walked out the hall.
"Oi! Harry! Hermione!" cried Ron Weasley crossing the hall and walking up to their table.
"Ron, why don't you sit down," said Hermione smiling brightly at Ron, who quickly sat down next to Hermione making Harry move to the next seat.
"I think it's getting to crowded here," muttered Malfoy darkly before standing up and walking out the hall, quickly followed by Timothy.
"Man, its just too lonely at Gryffindor without you two," said Ron heaving a huge sigh.
"Don't worry Ron, we'll go to the tower everyday, promise," assured Hermione, patting Ron on the shoulder affectionately.
"Yeah even on weekdays, after our classes," added Harry nodding his head in approval.
"Sere, how about we go outside, nothing to do here anyway," suggested Mia, heaving a sigh of boredom.
Serenity nodded and stood up, "See yah 'Mione, bye Ron," she said to Hermione and Ron. Turning to Harry she glared at him, as if daring him to say just one word about what happened. 'One word,' she thought darkly before following her friends out the hall.
"What was that all about?" mused Hermione giving Harry a confused look, catching the glare that Serenity sent Harry. Sure she knew about their never ending fights but that glare was well, too......intense.
Harry blushed crimson, his hear beating fast against his chest, quickly erasing Serenity's towel image from his mind. "Nothing, nothing at all," he quickly said, waving is hand as if dismissing the subject.
Ron and Hermione exchanged confused looks but said nothing. They knew Harry too well, he was hiding something from them but neither of them pressed the subject. Instead Ron told them how Neville had blown up the fireplace last night.
~Professor Meioh's office~
"So when are you planning to give her memories back?" asked a small voice the mysterious Professor.
Professor Meioh smiled secretly while staring out the window and watching three girls walk around on the grounds. Her eyes fixed on the giggling blond in the middle with the long French braid. "Soon," came the reply from the Professor's reply. Peeling her eyes away from the scene below her, she looked at the disgruntled feline on her desk.
"Soon?!" snapped the black cat, her crescent Moon flashing lightly in the sun light. "I've been waiting for you for almost three years! Now that you are here, I am expecting you to restore her memories and you say soon?! We are three years in delay, if I may remind you!" exclaimed the cat glaring at the Professor.
"I know, I know, but it seems that this year is the best year for her to restore all her memories. If we had restored her memories when she was fourteen, then she might not take them seriously and too many events had taken place, you know it. Now that she is seventeen, she might take them all better. Just look, over the past years, she slowly is turning out to be her former self. Haven't you noticed it Luna?" asked the Professor taking the cat to the window and letting her see for herself.
Outside, near the gardens Serenity and her two friends were walking around and all three of them were laughing. Serenity plucked a rose and twirled around a couple of time before she and her friends all dissolved into another fit of giggles.
"Well, yes," breathed Luna looking up at Professor Meioh. "She's truly becoming princess Serenity. But her memories are yet to be restored! Which you still haven't done yet!" said Luna jumping back onto the Professor's desk.
"Don't rush things, everything will reveal itself to the princess in due time," assured Trista while patting Luna on the head.
"Sometimes I wonder why I even question you," sighed Luna in defeat.
Trista flashed the lunarian cat a bright smile before turning back to the window and watching Serenity. "Harry Potter seems to like her," she said thoughtfully.
Luna snorted loudly upon hearing that. 'That is the understatement of the year,' she thought. But knowing Pluto, who practically knew everything from who is who and what underwear you are wearing, it might as well be true. "Perhaps," the feline said thoughtfully.
"She seems likes him too, though very much denying the feelings," added the Professor totally ignoring the cat snort from Luna.
"Perhaps," mumbled Luna. "When are you planning on restoring his memories?" the feline asked.
"Soon," announced Trista. "Everything will reveal itself on its own, I'm pretty sure about it," she added, turning to the irritated feline.
"I see," mumbled Luna.
"You worry too much Luna, don't worry we'll find Artemis soon. Maybe that will cheer you up. I know exactly where he is," assured Trista smiling lightly at the Moon cat.
Luna sighed in defeat, not knowing what else to say. "I wonder why I even put up with you Pluto, yet alone question your doings,"
"Leave everything to me," said Trista coolly while picking Luna up and going out the door.

Chapter 2
"Embarrassing moments...."
"There has to be a mistake professor!" wailed Serenity loudly starring at the deputy mistress with a desperate look. By now all the pairs where in McGonagal's office as well as Professor Meioh. Currently she tried to convince the Professor that being paired up with Harry Potter was just a huge mistake, a HUGE mistake. Alright, so she enjoyed seeing him in the hallways, giving him snide remarks and having the constant quarrellings. She liked those in fact, she enjoyed the small wars between them. But staying with Potter for the REST of the year wasn't so great anymore. Especially if they were going to share the same quarters. Serenity hated this prospect, either one of them wont survive for sure.
"I can assure you Miss Moon, that there is no mistake," Answered McGonagal, giving her a stern look trying to put the discussion to an end.
"But you really cant be serious," protested Harry, there was a hint of desperation in his voice. He really didn't like the idea of being together with Serenity for the whole year yet alone be paired up with her.
"The pairs were carefully chosen Mr. Potter. We are quite sure that there are no mistakes," said McGonagal sternly, giving both a look that said, 'One-more-peep-and-you'll-be-in-detention'
Yet Serenity completely ignored the look and pressed, "We really don't get along Professor! By the end of the year, I am sure you'll find a dead body," she wailed.
"We're going to rip each other's head off," added Harry.
"I really don't see the problem," said Professor Meioh finally her eyes holding much mirth. "You two seem to agree that you shouldn't be paired up together, so there! You agree on something,"
Serenity tried to protest but quickly shut her mouth. She gave Harry a nasty look before turning to the professor angrily, "Nobody will blame me if you will find his dead body!" she said huffily before sulking into the corner far away from an angry Harry.
"You two behave like children," commented Malfoy in a low voice switching his gaze between Serenity and Harry.
"Shut up Malfoy, I got other things to worry about than you right now," muttered Harry darkly glaring at the blond boy.
Serenity narrowed her eyes, "Nobody ever asked for your opinion anyway," she said giving Malfoy a dark look.
"Ah I see that everyone has arrived," exclaimed Professor Dumbledore happily as he walked into the room. His eyes swept over all the students in the room with a happy glint completely ignoring a fuming Serenity and a frustrated Harry. "I see that you have found you partners, and I hope that you are very much contented with them,"
Serenity was about to protest but was roughly poked in the ribs by Nina. She glared at her friend but shut up, 'Fine, be it that way..but nobody will blame me if they find Potter's dead body' she thought darkly.
"As you may know, I have mentioned that there will be special classes for you. You will find out about these when you will be receiving your schedules. As of now, we shall be giving you a map, this will tell you where your new quarters are and the passwords. Of course you are still allowed to go to your house towers and do visits." Informed Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagal handed each pair a rolled piece of parchment. Frankly Serenity wasn't much interested about where they would be staying for the rest of the term. She'd rather stay outside in the grounds and live in a tent than be staying with Harry Potter. 'Give me a blanket and I'd gladly sleep under it on the grounds outside,' she thought darkly glowering at the professors.
"I think that all of you are very tired, it's best of you all run along now and go to your new quarters. All of your belongings are already brought to your rooms. I hope you all have a pleasant sleep," and with that the headmaster dismissed them
As the last student left the office Professor Meioh broke into a smile gazing at the spot where Serenity stood earlier. "I think everything will turn out fine," she said thoughtfully.
"They seem to disagree a lot," commented McGonagal giving the mysterious teacher an apprehensive look. 'Sure Harry Potter was a good student, Serenity Moon was quite smart but still those two were like, what those muggles call, a ticking time bomb, which could explode any minute,' mused McGonagal.
Professor Meioh smiled, "The princess and prince are doing fine,"
~Outside, in the halls~
"Well Potter, I guess I am stuck with you," muttered Serenity darkly after bidding her friends goodbye.
"Don't sound so happy about it," said Harry giving her a cocky grin.
Serenity fought the urge to hit him on the head, "Shut up and start finding our quarters," she snapped.
Both of them continued walking in awkward silence in the completely deserted hallway. They continued walking for another five minutes in silence until they reached the end of a corridor with a statue of a young woman with long hair, wearing an elaborate dress.
"This is it? Are you sure?" said an out of breath Serenity.
"This is it," assured Harry looking at the piece of parchment in his hands. "Moonlight serenade," muttered Harry to the statue. It slowly moved to the side, revealing a small entrance.
"See I am right," said Harry giving Serenity a triumphant look.
Serenity rolled her eyes and brushed past him without giving him a backward glance. When she entered their quarters, she was amazed.
"Wow," she breathed silently taking everything in.
"Yeah, wow," muttered Harry following Serenity in, starring at everything with huge eyes.
The room was quite small but still very breathtaking. It was the common room, a small fireplace stood in one corner. It looked much like any other common room, but with a lot more books and paintings.
"I think this is where the bedrooms are," said Serenity pointing towards a wooden door. When she opened it, she was expecting to see to other doors leading to separate bedrooms but what she saw was something else. "Bloody hell!" she exclaimed loudly.
"What?!" shouted Harry hurrying into the room with a somewhat worried expression. "What are you shouting about?" he asked exasperated when he found her still standing and breathing.
"This!" she said pointing to two four poster beds parallel to each other a couple of feet away. The beds had white sheets with white and silver draperies. The carpet was white with the Hogwarts crest in the middle. There were two separate closets and a small bookshelf.
"What the," mumbled Harry in disbelief taking everything in.
"What ever happened to the 'Keep the boys and girls beds as far away as possible' policy?" muttered Serenity darkly walking towards the bed by the window.
"This cant be happening, I am not sharing a bedroom with you!" Harry said giving Serenity a dark look.
"Hey," she protested loudly. "It isn't my fault that you are stuck with me, I didn't agree with this. Do I look happy to you?!"
Harry sighed, "Whatever,"
Serenity walked towards another door and opened it, "Peachy, just peachy. This is all so bloody brilliant," she muttered to herself darkly staring into the door.
"What now?" asked a really frustrated Harry. "Can there be anything more worse than this?"
"There is only one bathroom," pointed out Serenity flatly.
"What?!" exclaimed Harry in disbelief. 'I should learn to keep my mouth shut if I want to stay alive,' he thought dryly.
Serenity sighed while placing a hand on her throbbing forehead, "Look, there's nothing much we can do now, can we? I guess we are really stuck together," she muttered to Harry, still not accepting the fact.
Harry nodded in understanding, "I guess,"
"Now here are the rules," announced Serenity giving Harry 'the look'. "In the morning, I will be first to use the bathroom, no funny business. And no doing something that you might regret at night!" she said raising a delicate eyebrow. "So you better keep you crazy testosterone filled body to yourself, understand?!"
Harry's eyes widened with understanding as what she meant with the last sentence, "What do you think I am? A pervert?" he said hotly glaring at the blond.
"Well, it a know fact that all people with male hormones are perverts, testosterone just runs through men's body system like blood," she said innocently.
"Well I am not perverted!" he retorted hotly. "What about me? I also need to use the bathroom in the morning! Do you expect me to wait for you to until you are done with whatever things you are doing in the morning?" he asked trying to change the subject, it was quite evident the hints of red were on his cheeks.
"..."
"What?! Tell me, oh-queen-of-the-universe, what must I do now?" he asked hotly.
Serenity heaved a loud sigh, "Look," she began her cheeks began to flame hotly. "There's a shower and a bathtub, as long as you don't wander around naked and go peeking. Might as well share it at the same time," she said her cheeks reddening furiously.
Harry began to blush red as a tomato, "Agreed," he muttered. Silently he wondered why this is happening to him.
"I'll change now, in the bathroom. I need some sleep," announced Serenity after a minute of uncomfortable silence. She quickly grabbed her white night gown and slipped into the bathroom.
Harry continued to blush furiously as he began to change into his pjs. His mind wandering to what it would be like in the morning sharing a bathroom with Serenity. 'Stop it! Now you are really acting like a pervert! Snap out of it! This is the girl that called you four-eyes and Harry Pothead, who hit you with a cauldron cake in the face and placed a flobberworm down your shirt! You shouldn't be thinking about her that way! This is Serenity Moon we are talking about!' commanded Harry to himself. Yet somehow he couldn't bring himself to wipe her out of his mind.
~Bathroom~
Serenity glared at her reflection as she pulled out her long hair out of its French braid, letting it tumble to the ground. 'Why the hell am I paired with Potter?' she asked herself. 'Because you hoped you would,' answered another voice inside of her. She glared at her reflection even more, 'Why would I?' she asked, she had an inking suspicion that she already knew the answer.
'Because you like him,' answered her inner voice again.
Serenity rolled her eyes, 'No I don't,' she answered. 'You like him and you know it, you always like catching his attention, you like his eyes. The way they stare at you and burn into your soul. The way he gives you that smirk, or his famous laugh. You like him, from the moment you threw your wand at him. Face it, you like him,' announced the inner voice triumphantly. Serenity knew that in a way it was correct.
She scowled at her reflection not accepting the feelings inside of her, "No I don't," she said sharply at her own reflection. 'I don't want to have any feelings for anybody, I don't want to,' she convinced herself pushing all those sudden emotions she felt earlier with Potter back to wherever they came from.
"Who are you talking to, Moon?" she heard Harry's muffled voice.
"None of your friggin' business, Potter," she shouted back rolling her eyes.
'Don't deny it,' she hard the small voice again. Serenity glared at nothing in particular, "I don't need no one in my life, I am perfectly fine with being alone. I don't need no one, especially no Harry Potter," she whispered to herself angrily. She quickly walked to the door and closing it with a loud bang.
"Don't deny your feelings child," whispered an eerie voice from the mirror. It was clearly a woman, yet her appearance was quite vague. One thing was sure, a golden crescent Moon glowed brightly.
~Back in the bedroom~
"What's your problem?!" shouted Harry angrily, upon being awoken by the loud banging of the door, sitting up in his bed staring at the frustrated blond with sleepy eyes. He wasn't wearing is glasses, so all he saw was a blurry white and gold outline. He grabbed his glassed by the night table and slipped them on. What he saw, he almost caught his breath...well....almost. Serenity wearing nothing but a long white night gown. It had spaghetti straps and almost looked like a flourishing gown. She almost looked like an angel with her golden locks falling around her shoulders....almost like an angel, she could be the devil as well. 'An attractive devil-angel at that,' thought Harry silently. He shock his head in annoyance, 'Stop thinking that way!' he ordered himself.
"None for you to be concerned about!" retorted Serenity hotly completely ignoring him staring at her. She quickly marched to her bed and gave him a sideward glance, "No funny business at night!" she threatened him angrily. "You just keep your testosterone in check.." she muttered angrily.
Harry blushed indignantly, "Why would I put a move on you anyway?" he said hotly. He removed his glasses and placed them back on the night table, and slumped into his bed. Pulling the covers up to his head and turning his back to Serenity's bed.
Serenity mumbled something about perverted greened-eyed potheads but soon blew out the candle and pulling the covers over her head and turning her back to Harry as well. Immediately falling to sleep.
Two different people sharing the same bedroom, sharing the same destiny, the same.....they shall share the same future and.......past.
~Next Morning, Sunday~
Sunlight poured through the huge window, bathing the bedroom with sunshine. Serenity mumbled lightly, her face being hit by the morning sun. Opening one eye groggily she starred at the window accusingly. She soon realized that she wouldn't get back to sleep anyway, Serenity rose to a sitting position on her bed and mumbled something about 'being awake at an ungodly hour and shutting off the sun,'. Rubbing out the last signs of sleep in her eyes, she soon realized that she wasn't in her dorm.
"Where the hell am I?!" she mumbled under her breath, taking in the room. her eyes grew wide with realization, remembering last night's events. "Bloody hell, so it wasn't a dream.....that means," she mumbled.
She turned her head to the right, quickly finding the bed identical to hers with a sleeping Harry Potter in it. Serenity frowned, giving the sleeping boy a silent glare. She somehow forgot what she was doing, and instead began watching Harry silently. She watched as a few locks of black hair fell into his eyes, she somehow had the itching urge to walk up to him and brush them away. 'Damn it! Why am I thinking this way?! This is Harry Potter....how many times have I to make it clear that I don't want him or any boy at all?!' she mentally slapped herself out of her stupor. 'Though...he's still kinda cute,' she added, a small grin appearing on her face. An evil grin spread on her face when she came up with a little plan. 'Even how cute you may are Potter....you still are my victim...' she thought as she climbed out her bed, trying hard to not make any noise.
~5 minutes later~
Serenity grinned at her handy work, she stood at the side of Harry's bed starring down at her sleeping victim with happiness. 'Oh this is going to be so much fun....' she thought happily. Her eyes wandered to the little string she carefully tied around his wrist, the string was movement sensitive meaning if he'd wake up the string would react. The string would pull down the huge bucket that was floating above the bed silently. Serenity suppressed a giggle as she starred at the huge bucket filled it ice water. 'Oh joy,' she thought happily.
'Now time for a shower,' Serenity thought happily walking to the bathroom. Perhaps the only reason she left for the bathroom was because she wouldn't like to be in the same room with Harry if he woke up and be gauzed with ice water.
"Hmmm, hmmm," Serenity hummed to herself happily while washing out the remains of shampoo in her hair. A huge grin spread across her face, knowing that Harry would wake up any minute. Carefully stepping out of the shower, she grabbed a white towel quickly an wrapped it around her wet body quickly just in case Harry came bursting into the bathroom without her even noticing.
Just as she turned to the mirror, a loud splash of water came from the next room followed by a lot of cursing. Serenity smirked happily, imagining the dripping wet Harry Potter in his soggy bed.
"ARGHHH! TSUKINO!!!!!! DAMN!" she heard Harry holler from the next room.
Serenity smirked, 'Oh joy,' she thought happily. Readjusting her towel, she began to count, "One, two, three...". Serenity giggled lightly still staring at her reflection, it gave her a full view of the door behind her. "Four..." She continued, 'Get ready with the fireworks,' she added happily. Yes she was quite very happy with her handy work and she couldn't wait to see Harry's steaming red face and she was practically eager what he would say to her but one thought didn't cross her mind at all....she was almost clad naked.. only a mere towel covering her feminine body..and most of all she didn't know what that would do to poor Harry. "...Five" finished Serenity happily.
As if on cue, the bathroom door burst open, a dripping wet Harry Potter stood in the doorway gazing at Serenity's back with pure murder. Perhaps because of the red he was seeing, or just because of all the white in the room, Harry Potter wasn't quite aware of seeing a half-naked Serenity in the bathroom but instead he just saw Serenity, the girl who made his life a living hell.
"Why the hell did you pull that prank?!?!?! That water was freezing cold! Who the hell do you think you...." Harry trailed off upon finally realizing one little detail that he missed earlier.
"Yes?" asked Serenity innocently finally turning around and gazing somewhat innocently at a dripping Harry. It was very funny to look at him through the help of the mirror, seeing him go ranting on, breathing in harshly in and out like a wounded dragon. But it was much more funnier to see him up close, she immediately burst into a fit of giggles....still forgetting that she was clad in a towel.
Harry's eyes went wide as saucers, okay so waking up in the morning and being greeted by freezing water was still a bit bearable but this wasn't. Seeing Serenity Moon in a towel, which was actually a few inches above her knees, which caused to show much of flesh, was too much for Harry's liking. So being a 17-year-old boy that he is, it really did something to him, seeing a half-naked girl, which of course shouldn't really happen. 'Oh my god,' thought Harry blushing furiously still staring at the young giggling towel clad blond in front of him. He knew Serenity was a attractive, and now this....she looked....what was the word? Breathtaking, beautiful...gorgeous.
As if sensing Harry's anger was no more, Serenity stopped giggling and frowned. 'What now?' she thought exasperated. She noted that Harry wasn't looking furious at all, but instead he looked much like he was....what?....gaping. 'What the?' thought Serenity. Her eyes widened with realization upon realizing, what Harry really was gaping at. She blushed furiously, unconsciously becoming panicky.
"YOU PERVERTED JERK!" shrieked Serenity, now trying futilely tugging on her towel, pulling it down to cover up her over exposed legs.
Harry blushed even redder when he saw considerably too much cleavage as Serenity tugged on the end of her towel. "Pervert?!" he said hotly, somehow coming to himself after a long display of too much flesh of Serenity but still his eyes still wandered over her body and finding himself gaping at her.
Serenity went crimson, upon realizing that when she pulled the end of her towel it lower too much, exposing much cleavage in Harry's direction. Epping loudly, she pulled the towel up, now at least refraining to show cleavage. "You heard me right! PERVERT!" she shrieked loudly. "GET OUT!" she shouted glaring daggers at Harry but still blushing furiously.
Harry immediately nodded, expertly dodging the bar of soap and roll of toilet paper being thrown his way, and followed her order, zooming out of the bathroom and slamming it shut loudly.
"Pervert, moron, jerk," muttered Serenity under her breath. A faint blush apparent on her cheeks, she tried deny the fact that currently her heart was going a mile a minute. Trying to calm herself a bit, she starred at her reflection, and growled angrily. "What are you looking at?!" she snapped exasperatedly. Serenity quickly changed into a pair of black jeans and a white sweater. After pulling on her sneakers Serenity walked out the bathroom.
~Bedroom~
Harry tried hard not to blush as Serenity walked out the bathroom. Even though of the very much embarrassing encounter in the bathroom, Harry couldn't help but notice how....what was the word?....lovely she looked if her hair cascaded down her back. Shaking his head, and blushing lightly he walked briskly past Serenity and into the bathroom deciding that it was time for him to take a shower. A cold shower, perhaps. To cool down his body and trying to calm him and his whole body down from the sight that he had seen earlier.
"Pervert," muttered Serenity darkly as Harry passed her. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks upon remembering their little ordeal.
Harry ignored that little insult, deciding that it was high time for him to take his shower or else he might explode. 'This is ridiculous, I cant be falling for that.....that....that....urgh!' he mentally screamed being unable to find a right 'bad' word to describe Serenity.
"This is too much, when the term ends, I'll be insane," muttered Harry while in the shower. Somehow he had a cold feeling about all of this, no this isn't from the cold water of the shower, but he felt his stomach churn upon remembering Serenity. Fighting back the urge to groan, Harry Potter knew that this year was going to be quite eventful.
~Great hall~
"Stupid, moronic, perverted, four-eyed, pothead," muttered Serenity under her breath upon entering the hall for breakfast. She quickly exited their quarters after Harry left to the bathroom, one more minute in that room and she would have physically assaulted Harry and killed him. 'Gotta say, he did look cute being all wet,' chided her mind. Serenity fought the urge to groan out loud or perhaps.....blush. 'Damn it, I don't feel anything for him! understand?!' she mentally berated herself.
Serenity snapped out of her mental ranting when she realized that there was an extra table lined up. The table was situated next to the Hufflepuff table near the wall, studying its occupants, Serenity quickly realized that it as the table for the Partnership students. 'And here I was thinking that I could actually get some time AWAY from Potter,' she thought while quickly crossing the hall and taking the empty seat next to her friend Nina.
"I see you are still very much alive," said Malfoy sitting near the end of the table and giving Serenity a cocky grin.
Serenity rolled her eyes and glared at Malfoy, "Will you shut up? I had a lousy morning and now your adding it up! If you wanna stay alive till this afternoon then you better keep quiet!" she snapped.
"Oh what's so lousy about the morning? Found Potter in your bed?" countered Malfoy sneering.
Serenity's eyes widened and she began to blush upon remembering the bathroom ordeal. 'Damn he looked cute,' she thought silently remembering Harry's angry face. She snapped out of it and growled at Malfoy, "Just shut up, it's already worse as it is that I have to see you at every meal!"
"So Sere, how was you night? Sleep well?" asked Nina trying quickly to change the subject or else they might see a dead Malfoy any second.....not that she mind of course.
"Fine I guess," mumbled Serenity while eating her breakfast.
"Well me and Hermione had a blast last night! Right 'Mione?" squealed Nina in delight grinning happily across the table at Hermione.
"Let me guess, you two talked only about.....lessons, right?" asked Serenity flatly eyeing the two.
"Yeah! We think we all might get much advanced lesson than regular 7th years," said Hermione happily.
"Well, got a hand it to you, you're pretty much in good shape after staying with Potter for a whole night," said Mia, giving Serenity a cheeky grin.
"I know, I don't know if I'll ever be the same after the year ends," said Serenity sarcastically.
"Morning Harry!" greeted Hermione upon seeing Harry approach their table.
"Mornin'," mumbled Harry taking the seat next to Hermione. He looked up and right across him sat Serenity. Blushing furiously he turned his attention to the food infront of him.
"I see you didn't die either, Potter. What a shame," commented Malfoy upon seeing Harry.
Harry looked up and glare at the blond boy, "Can it Malfoy, it's already bad enough that you are actually here," he shot back.
"Do I look like that I enjoy this? Think again Potter, its already bad enough that I got to sit with some stupid mudbloods," he shot Hermione a dark look, who in turn glared.
"Take that back Malfoy," hissed Serenity angrily, glaring at Malfoy and at Timothy, who began to snicker. 'Slytherins, all the same,' she thought darkly.
"Are there any problems here?" came a feminine voice breaking the hostility immediately. Her garnet eyes sweeping over a glowering Serenity.
"No, Professor Meioh," said Mia, flashing the Professor a smile while keeping her eyes peeled on Malfoy and glaring at him.
"Everything is just fine," added Serenity while giving the Professor a forced smile.
"I see," mumbled Professor Meioh thoughtfully. "I hope you all have had a wonderful night's sleep in your new quarters. Well I best be off, I hope you will all have a wonderful day," with that the Professor walked out the hall.
"Oi! Harry! Hermione!" cried Ron Weasley crossing the hall and walking up to their table.
"Ron, why don't you sit down," said Hermione smiling brightly at Ron, who quickly sat down next to Hermione making Harry move to the next seat.
"I think it's getting to crowded here," muttered Malfoy darkly before standing up and walking out the hall, quickly followed by Timothy.
"Man, its just too lonely at Gryffindor without you two," said Ron heaving a huge sigh.
"Don't worry Ron, we'll go to the tower everyday, promise," assured Hermione, patting Ron on the shoulder affectionately.
"Yeah even on weekdays, after our classes," added Harry nodding his head in approval.
"Sere, how about we go outside, nothing to do here anyway," suggested Mia, heaving a sigh of boredom.
Serenity nodded and stood up, "See yah 'Mione, bye Ron," she said to Hermione and Ron. Turning to Harry she glared at him, as if daring him to say just one word about what happened. 'One word,' she thought darkly before following her friends out the hall.
"What was that all about?" mused Hermione giving Harry a confused look, catching the glare that Serenity sent Harry. Sure she knew about their never ending fights but that glare was well, too......intense.
Harry blushed crimson, his hear beating fast against his chest, quickly erasing Serenity's towel image from his mind. "Nothing, nothing at all," he quickly said, waving is hand as if dismissing the subject.
Ron and Hermione exchanged confused looks but said nothing. They knew Harry too well, he was hiding something from them but neither of them pressed the subject. Instead Ron told them how Neville had blown up the fireplace last night.
~Professor Meioh's office~
"So when are you planning to give her memories back?" asked a small voice the mysterious Professor.
Professor Meioh smiled secretly while staring out the window and watching three girls walk around on the grounds. Her eyes fixed on the giggling blond in the middle with the long French braid. "Soon," came the reply from the Professor's reply. Peeling her eyes away from the scene below her, she looked at the disgruntled feline on her desk.
"Soon?!" snapped the black cat, her crescent Moon flashing lightly in the sun light. "I've been waiting for you for almost three years! Now that you are here, I am expecting you to restore her memories and you say soon?! We are three years in delay, if I may remind you!" exclaimed the cat glaring at the Professor.
"I know, I know, but it seems that this year is the best year for her to restore all her memories. If we had restored her memories when she was fourteen, then she might not take them seriously and too many events had taken place, you know it. Now that she is seventeen, she might take them all better. Just look, over the past years, she slowly is turning out to be her former self. Haven't you noticed it Luna?" asked the Professor taking the cat to the window and letting her see for herself.
Outside, near the gardens Serenity and her two friends were walking around and all three of them were laughing. Serenity plucked a rose and twirled around a couple of time before she and her friends all dissolved into another fit of giggles.
"Well, yes," breathed Luna looking up at Professor Meioh. "She's truly becoming princess Serenity. But her memories are yet to be restored! Which you still haven't done yet!" said Luna jumping back onto the Professor's desk.
"Don't rush things, everything will reveal itself to the princess in due time," assured Trista while patting Luna on the head.
"Sometimes I wonder why I even question you," sighed Luna in defeat.
Trista flashed the lunarian cat a bright smile before turning back to the window and watching Serenity. "Harry Potter seems to like her," she said thoughtfully.
Luna snorted loudly upon hearing that. 'That is the understatement of the year,' she thought. But knowing Pluto, who practically knew everything from who is who and what underwear you are wearing, it might as well be true. "Perhaps," the feline said thoughtfully.
"She seems likes him too, though very much denying the feelings," added the Professor totally ignoring the cat snort from Luna.
"Perhaps," mumbled Luna. "When are you planning on restoring his memories?" the feline asked.
"Soon," announced Trista. "Everything will reveal itself on its own, I'm pretty sure about it," she added, turning to the irritated feline.
"I see," mumbled Luna.
"You worry too much Luna, don't worry we'll find Artemis soon. Maybe that will cheer you up. I know exactly where he is," assured Trista smiling lightly at the Moon cat.
Luna sighed in defeat, not knowing what else to say. "I wonder why I even put up with you Pluto, yet alone question your doings,"
"Leave everything to me," said Trista coolly while picking Luna up and going out the door.
