Chapter 3 "The signs"

It's been over a month now, and everything was still the same for Serena. Nothing much had changed in her life here at Hogwarts. Aside the fact that they all didn't have Defense Against the Dark Arts, it seemed like this year Hogwarts hadn't provided them a teacher for the subject. Then there were the Slytherins, who still kept making fun of her as much as everybody else enjoys teasing her. Malfoy and Pansy continued to make her life miserable. And Harry continued to be really nice to her. Its already October, the leaves were completely off the trees and the air was getting very chilly. Serena sighed, she was somewhat happy to go to Divination that Friday afternoon, the classroom would be very nice and warm and could warm her up a bit.

Serena followed her fellow fifth year Gryffindors silently making their way up the tower. She walked at the end of the group all alone, silently listening to the mild chatter going on in front of her. Her eyes landed on Harry and Ron, who were walking infront of her, both were in deep conversation. She starred at Harry with a bit of longing in her eyes but soon got out of her reverie when everybody stopped and began to climb the small silver ladder leading to Professor Trelawney's classroom.

Serena sat in the back of the class in one of the fat little poufs, and gazed absentmindedly at nothing. Waiting for everyone to take their seats, so that they could begin the class. She watched as Ron and Harry took the small round table next to her, she knew that both of them didn't like Divination. She caught Harry giving her a small smile before turning his attention towards Professor Trelawney. Serena blushed before turning to look at Trelawney.

Professor Trelawney beamed at the class as everyone had taken their seats. Her eyes, which were bug like due to the fact that she was wearing oversized magnifying glasses, swept over the class with misty eyes.

"I wonder what the old coot will announce next?" Serena heard Ron whisper to Harry. "Perhaps declare that someday she'll wear contacts instead of magnifying glasses," he added whispering.

Harry tried hard not to laugh, as Professor Trelawney gave the two a suspicious look before continuing to look around the quiet classroom. Harry heard a bored sigh coming from his right, he found Serena starring at the Professor with boredom written all over her face.

"Good morning class," began Professor Trelawney finally after five minutes of looking around. "You may wonder why I did not speak when you have arrived minutes ago," she said in her so misty voice. She moved forward a bit standing next to Lavender and Parvati, who gazed up at the Professor admiringly, as she moved her many multicolored beads rattled noisily.

"I was testing your auras, to see if you are all ready for the next level of crystal ball reading," said the Professor. "And I see that you all very much ready to touch this very difficult level of crystal ball reading," she finished.

There were loud oooh's coming from both excited lavender and Parvati. Both the rest of the class wasn't looking forward to another lecture of crystal ball reading.

Serena sighed, she really didn't like divination, and it usually gave her a huge headache after every class. She really didn't know why, but every time she would get headaches and they would get even worse at times. She stood up straight as the Professor's huge magnified eyes starred at her.

"Miss Moon, would you be so kind and get me my crystal ball in the back shelf, seeing that you are the nearest to it," she stated pointing to the back shelf filled with many different things that Serena had no clue of.

Serena nodded and stood up. She noted that everyone was starring at her, and mentally sighed she really didn't like this at all. She began to have an aching feeling in the pit of her stomach as she slowly approached the shelf. 'Maybe its because of those fumes in the fire,' she mused.

Professor Trelawney was about to say something, probably to begin her lecture when a loud scream came from the back of the classroom, followed by the shattering of glass. Everyone starred in starred in shock as Serena clutched her head in pain and began to scream continuously. Some students stood up to see better, while others starred on with terror.

Serena didn't know what had happened, when she touched the crystal ball everything was still very fine. She could feel the cool glass against her hands but then suddenly when she turned around and to bring the ball to Trelawney, she felt a sudden jolt of electricity course through her body coming from the ball. She screamed, as the pain reached her head. She let go of the crystal ball, faintly hearing it shatter against the wooden floor. The headache was back, this time more intense than ever. Her head felt like it was going to explode. She screamed again and again, trying to make the pain stop but it never did. She fell to her knees, as the pain increased. She faintly heard shouts of her name in the back of her mind but she didn't listen.

"Stop, stop, STOP!" Serena screamed to particularly no one as tears poured down her pale face.

"Not again," whispered some students in horror backing away from the screaming girl, too terrified to help her.

Suddenly Serena felt it, a power. Power coursing through her body, but it left as quickly as it came. She continued to scream as the pain in her head increased; in the back of her mind she wondered why no one was helping her. But flashes of pictures and foreign voices in her head erased that thought soon. She saw it, girls..women..dead all of them. Blood everywhere. 'No!' she heard their screams of pain and anguish.

"No, stop!" she screamed again clutching her head in pain.

A woman, dressed in all white with silver hair..dead..a crystal...a girl covered in blood, she looked like the older woman only with gold hair...the girl was taken by a dark hooded man....she got covered by darkness... 'Death' she heard dark raspy voice whisper followed by evil laughter.

"Ahhh! Stop!" she screamed loudly clutching her head in pain even more. Her knees bleed furiously, as she was kneeling on some of the pieces of the crystal ball.

"What's happening Professor?" asked lavender starring at Serena with worried eyes.

"A vision," mumbled Professor Trelawney still starring at the screaming girl.

Harry had frankly enough. He couldn't bear to see Serena in pain anymore. He began to walk to her, trying to wake her up or do something to get her back but Trelawney stopped him.

"Don't," she simply said holding him by his sleeve, still starring at the in pained girl with cloudy eyes.

Harry glared at the Professor and pulled his sleeve free, "Don't you see she's in pain?! You can't just let her leave her like that! Do something!" he shouted angrily over Serena's pleas for help. Some students gasped at Harry's sudden outburst but most of the agreed. Harry quickly ran to Serena's side trying hard to wake her up, but to no avail. She continued to scream and shout while being held in his arms.

"Mr. Potter is right," said Professor trelawney curtly, she quickly kneeled infront of Serena and grabbing her by her shoulders. She shook her a bit but to no avail. "Ms. Moon, wake up Ms. Moon. MS. Moon WAKE UP!" she shouted finally seeing that the girl won't wake up.

But to everyone's great surprise and to Harry and Trelawney's great shock Serena's eyes snapped open. Yet her eyes upon closer inspection, were not blue instead they were silver. "DON'T THOUCH ME!" she screamed angrily in a very menacing low and dark voice that was not her own. She pulled herself away from a stunned Harry, and extended her right hand towards Trelawney and a bright beam of silver tinted with black burst from her hand and hit the Professor in the stomach sending her flying back wards into her chair. An upturned golden crescent Moon appeared briefly on her forehead but it disappeared before anyone had even noticed.

There were loud gasps as they all starred in shock at Serena. Some of them ran to the dazed Professor helping her stand back up. Others backed away from Serena and Harry, fearing that she might do something to them too.

Serena gasped loudly, her eyes turned back to their original blue color and the pain vanished instantly. She felt confused and disoriented. She then starred at her right hand with a terrified look. Wondering how she could have done that. Wondering what just happened. She looked up from the floor and saw everybody look down at her with a frightful look. 'What happened?' she thought.

"Are you alright?" she heard Harry's voice next to her.

Serena couldn't speak; her mind was still very clouded. Everything happened so fast. Everything she saw, she felt it. Her breaths came out in uneven gasps, trying hard to catch her breath.

"What did you see dear?! A vision! Tell me! This might be important!" came Professor Trelawney's urging voice.

Serena tried to stand up, with the help of Harry but found it no use because as she stood up darkness claimed her. She fell unconscious into Harry's arms.

~The infirmary~

"Is she alright?" asked Professor McGonagal in concern, gazing at Serena's sleeping form.

Madame Pomfrey sighed and walked over to Serena's bed, her eyes held much concern and worry. "She looks alirght, but it seems like her insides are not," she said while placing a wet washcloth on the sleeping girls forehead. "It looks worse that last time," she mumbled thoughtfully.

Professor McGonagal nodded her head, true it is worse than the last time. She remembered the incident that happened during Serena's first year. Due to that horrible incident her life here at Hogwarts completely changed, causing her to be what she is like now.

~Flashback~

A 12-year-old Serena Moon walked happily with her classmates to her next class, transfiguration. Her eyes sparkled merrily as she listened to Dean share one of his jokes to everyone. The whole group erupted into gales of laughter as Dean finished his joke before they entered the classroom.

During the class, Professor McGonagal assigned them to turn their buttons into little beetles. The class was going all well, all the students were trying vainly to turn their buttons into insects, when a sudden scream was heard from the back. To everyone's great shock it was Serena, she fell from her seat and unto the floor clutching her head in pain.

"Oh no," whispered McGonagal in shock hurrying towards the fallen girl, by now everyone had formed a circle around the screaming Serena trying hard to see what's happening.

Serena really didn't know what happened to her, one minute she was waving her wand trying to turn the buttons into beetles and the next minute she felt this spasm of pain run through her body and into her head. The pain she felt was so uncontrollable, it felt like her head would explode.

By the time that Professor McGonagal arrived near the fallen girl, she saw Seamus trying to help the girl. By shaking her shoulders a bit. But she was very shocked to see Serena's reaction.

"Serena, you alright?" asked Seamus in concern trying to help his Transfiguration partner. He shook her shoulders lightly.

Serena's eyes snapped open, they were in a silvery shade. She glared at Seamus with menacing eyes, "Don't touch me!" she shouted angrily. She extended her right arm and slapped him away before a small energy beam erupted from her hand and shot Seamus directly into the stomach, causing him to fly backwards into some of the seats, falling unconscious in an instant.

Serena's eyes immediately turned back to its blue color before she collapsed onto to hard stone floor.

Soon the incident spread through the whole castle like wildfire. Everybody heard about Serena and that very dangerous power. When Serena was released from the infirmary few days later, everyone seemed scared of her. No one dared to come close to her. Over the time, Serena became more and more alienated and soon was dubbed as the outcast.

~End of Flashback~

Professor McGonagal sighed, the incident had changed much of this young girl life. 'If only she knew,' she thought sadly. She watched as Madame Pomfrey replaced the washcloth with a new one.

Just then the door opened, in came the headmaster Professor Dumbledore followed closely by a sputtering Professor Trelawney retelling what had happened during the class.

"And of course, I knew that something must have been wrong headmaster! The girl was screaming in agony! I sensed she was in great pain," continued Trelawney.

Dumbledore nodded, "yes, yes, I believe I heard enough Sybil," his eyes cast towards the sleeping Serena.

Trelawney nodded and moved aside, standing near a corner and seeming to look deep in thought. Apparently she would touch the inner plane and find out what is wrong with the girl.

McGonagal sighed in frustration as she watched her colleague. It wasn't that she didn't like Sybil, it was just she didn't like Divination, especially if the predications came from Sybil Trelawney herself.

"Will she be alright Poppy?" asked the Headmaster in concern.

Pomfrey sighed, "I believe so, it may take a week or even more for her to be able to get all her strengths back. But I do believe that she will wake up probably tomorrow or so. But it'll take time before she'd be back walking around. That energy beam she gave out was very powerful,"

Dumbledore nodded in understanding, "She really is like her mother and..her father," he said thoughtfully.

The door opened once again, and in came Professor Snape and following him was the new Defense against the dark arts teacher. Her garnet eyes swept over Serena's sleeping form with concern.

"Severus, Trista (AN: didn't see that one coming now did you?!) Finally you came," stated the headmaster smiling brightly at the two.

"How is she?" asked Professor Meioh in concern.

"She's doing well, except the fever." Informed Pomfrey, while taking the already warm washcloth and dunking it into the cold water. "The fever is very high, I tried to give her some magical medicine but it seems to have no effect on her. We'll just wait and see," added the nurse, while wringing the cloth and placing it on Serena's forehead.

"Is it really the time?" asked Professor Snape starring at the sleeping girl.

Trista nodded, "She's gaining her powers fast. Its quite shocking that her powers are giving such a bad effect on her," she said. She then turned to Trelawney, "Describe the energy beam please Sybil,"

Trelawney's wide eyes grew wide and began to get all misty, "It was a brilliantly bright, and silver of color yet there was darkness in it! Black was quite evident in the silver," stated the professor in a far away voice.

"Darkness," whispered Dumbledore thoughtfully.

"I thought she was born pure light and not with darkness," protested Snape, narrowing his eyes at the sleeping girl with suspicion.

Trista narrowed her eyes at the potion master, "She was born pure, and there were no traces of darkness inside of her. She was born pure in the past and also when she was reborn. But I am wondering why she is showing signs of darkness where in fact she never showed such signs in her past life." She closed her eyes, seeming to be deep in thought.

"It looks like her body is reacting to the dark powers that are inside of her," whispered McGonagal.

"There was always darkness in her," stated Dumbledore after the long silence. "Even in her past life, darkness was evident in her. Yet those powers were never tapped, now that she's been reborn and her lunarian powers are slowly reawakening it seems like the darkness will also reawaken." He said finally.

There were gasps that filled the air, madam Pomfrey paled a bit. "Are you implying that she may...may.." stuttered McGonagal not being able to finish the sentence.

"Be like her father?" finished Dumbledore. "I don't know," he said surprising everybody in the room.

"No she cant, she wont! I wont allow it," said Trista angrily. "As long as we will stop her from choosing the darkness,"

Everyone nodded in agreement; Trista heaved a heavy sigh her garnet eyes watching over the sleeping girl. 'Princess, I am sorry....for all the pain'

~Great Hall~

Harry sighed in frustration as he listened to the different conversations going on around him. The whole hall was alive with loud chattering of student. It seems like news about Serena's sudden attack on Professor trelawney spread throughout Hogwarts like wildfire. Harry looked across the hall, at the Slytherin table, specifically Malfoy and his rotten crew who were all talking avidly. He saw Malfoy look up and smirk at him with the usual loathing look. He was sure that they were talking about Serena. What annoyed Harry the most was the horrible rumors that were spreading out fast at the moment about Serena, about her and Voldemort.

"Now its settled, she really has something to do with you-know-who!" exclaimed one 6th year boy angrily.

Harry glared at the boy for saying such a thing about Serena, "How can you say that, she'd never be in league with him!" he retorted hotly.

The boy smirked, "You out of all people is defending her, you should now better. It just clearly shows that she's in league with you-know-who!"

"You cant prove that!" joined in Hermione, giving the boy a disapproving look, she just heard about the incident from Ron and she truly believe that there was just another rational explanation for it all.

"C'mon it's so obvious!" said a 7th year girl. "Who else can show such weird thingy-beams that shoot out of ones hand! I say that is dark magic, dark magic only practiced by death eaters!"

Some nodded their heads in agreement, "It was just the same like what happened four years ago," added another 6th year.

"I still don't believe that," said Ron angrily.

"Don't you three see?" said Seamus angrily. "The beam had such a dark feeling to it! Like what she did to me during our first year!" he added slamming his fist at the table.

Harry sighed; it was no use at all. Only few still believed that Serena was a good person and not a death eater or being in league with Voldemort. He in turn believed that she was experiencing something different from the rest, something that is not evil at all, like what others are saying. He cast his eyes towards the end of the table where Serena usually sat alone, 'I hope you are alright Serena,' he thought lastly.

~Outside the infirmary~

"Can't we see her madam Pomfrey, please!" begged Hermione for the twelfth time, giving her a 'puppy-who's-been-kicked-into-the-rain' look.

Madam Pomfrey glared at the three young teens standing before her, "For the last time, I said no!" she shouted angrily.

Harry slumped his shoulders in defeat, he, Ron and Hermione decided that after dinner they'd go visit Serena to see if she's alright. But it looked like Madam Pomfrey wont even allow them to even step a toe through the door, let a hair.

"Why?!" whined Ron.

"She's not even awake yet! Even if she's be awake, she needs her rest!" exclaimed Madam Pomfrey loudly pushing the three teens away from the doors.

"I guess well just have to see her tomorrow then," said Hermione in defeat as they walked back to the Gryffindor tower.

"I guess so," mumbled Harry as they passed through the portrait hole and up to the common room. He watched as Ron and Hermione walked away hand in hand, he barely heard them saying to him their goodnights. He didn't know why but he really wished to see Serena right now, just to ease his mind.

Making up his mind Harry dashed up to the 5th years boys dorm, ran to his trunk and pulled out his fathers invisibility cloak. Pulling it on, making him invisible he stealthy walked down the stairs back into the common room. Being careful not to bump into anybody. He was delighted to see the fat lady asleep when he passed her.

He reached the infirmary in no time at all. He was very happy to see that Madam Pomfrey had already gone to bed. Harry walked to the room where candlelight shone through the windows. He very slowly opened the doors and walked into the room. He realized that it was the same room that he usually occupied after most of his 'near to death accidents'. A few candles hovering in the air lightly lighted the room. But was shocked him the most was the girl occupying the bed.

Serena looked deathly pale, when compared to the white gown she was wearing. Her hair was undone from the usual braid, and spilled over the bed everywhere, it practically reached the floor. She still had a white washcloth on her forehead, which now was enchanted so that it would stay cool. Her breathing was very uneven, she would whimper at times.

Harry placed the cloak on the chair next to the door and slowly walked towards the bed. He cast her a worried look, she looked like death. 'What's wrong with you Serena?' he thought sadly. His heart went out for the girl, somehow he felt strongly connected with her. He was probably the only true friend she ever had. Yet somehow he felt something for the girl something that he can't explain.

He listened as she gave a little whimper, and frowned. Very slowly Harry brushed away some strands of hair away from her face. He then placed his right hand on top of Serena's, gently rubbing it with his thumb. Hoping that his friend may soon wake up. And to his great surprise she did.

Serena gave out a little moan of pain. Her head felt like it was going to explode. She slowly opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the light in the room. Serena noticed a blurry figure hovering over her, when they finally came in focus she saw none other than a worried Harry looking down at her.

"You're awake!" said Harry happily in a low voice careful not to wake madam Pomfrey.

Serena began to blush at the fact that Harry was actually with her in the same room and also she felt his hand against hers. She managed a weak smile at him, "What are you doing here," she whispered in a hoarse tired voice.

Harry chuckled, he released her hand and sat down in the chair next to her bed, "I came to visit you," he answered. He gave her a worried glance, "You gave us all quite a fright,"

Serena sighed, leaning heavily against the white pillows, 'A fright? Ha! I don't think that everyone else thinks the same way...they probably think I am death eater or something by now,' she thought sadly. She turned her head to Harry giving him a pleading look, "You should go," she whispered sadly.

Harry looked up surprised, "Why? I thought you'd like company,"

Serena gave him a small tired smile, "I might hurt you, I might do the same thing I did to Professor trelawney and Seamus....go..please," she whispered her voice held a sad note.

Harry frowned, "I don't care, you look like you need company. And besides that all was an accident," he assured her.

Serena closed her eyes, a single tear making its way down her cheek. 'It's not an accident..something is happening to me,' she said to herself. "No, please go..everyone by now thinks I may be evil....please go before you get hurt...I don't think it was an accident..go, please.." she whispered turning her head away from Harry, tears now streaming down her pale face.

"But.."

"Go..."

Harry hesitantly stood up, he gave her an apprehensive look before grabbing his invisibility cloak and disappearing into the hallways back up to the common room.

Serena listened with a heavy heart as the door opened and closed, meaning that Harry had left the room. Tears streamed down her face, she didn't know why she let him go but she felt that it was the right thing to do. Hot tears of pain, anger, frustration and confusion ran down her ever so pale cheeks. 'What's happening to me? Why does everything bad always happen to me? What's wrong with me?' she repeated in her mind.

She suddenly felt sleep getting over her. She then realized how tired she really was, her whole body felt limp, like all her energy was taken away from. And before she knew it darkness had taken over her.



~A couple of days later, Thursday morning~

Harry, Hermione and Ron had visited Serena regularly, with Harry usually giving her night visits to check up on her. When Serena was released from the infirmary on Thursday morning, she felt much better now but still the after taste of what happened was still there.

When she arrived at the Great hall that morning, the first thing she noticed was that everyone kept on starring at her. Immediate whispers filled the air as she made her way to the table, avoiding many hot gazes. She tried hard not to listen to whispering that was going on around her.

"She's back! I bet this time she'd attack a student!"

"We'd better watch ourselves, you know how those death-eaters work,"

"She should have been expelled by now!"

"Freak!" "Evil!" "Death-eater!"

Serena tried hard not to listen to the harsh words that everyone was whispering. She quickly went to her seat at the end of the table propping her head. She felt tears prick her eyes but quickly blinked them away, reminding herself that she shouldn't always cry. 'I hate this place..' she thought finally.

"Hi Serena, it's good to see you out of the infirmary," she heard a cheerful voice, belonging to none other than Hermione, who quickly occupied the seat across from her.

"Mornin' Serena," said Ron as he took the seat next to Hermione.

"Hey, finally your out of the infirmary," Harry said as he took the seat next to Ron smiling brightly at Serena.

Serena smiled lightly at the three, "Hi," she mumbled.

"So how are you feeling?" asked Hermione.

"I'm fine, thank you," Serena answered. She suddenly felt like that someone was watching her, she looked up to the teachers table. Her eyes with garnet colored ones. She saw a new Professor at the table whom she never saw before. It was a woman, she had dark green hair and wore a simple green robe, much darker than the one McGonagal used to wear. The Professor kept gazing on her, Serena felt something different about this Professor. She frowned lightly when the Professor turned away from her and began talking with Professor Flitwick.

"If you wondering who that Professor is," said Harry breaking into her thoughts. "Then that is Professor Meioh, our new defense against the dark arts teacher,"

Serena nodded her head in understanding, she reached out and grabbed a piece of toast nibbling on it. "When did she arrive?" she asked slowly looking at Ron.

Harry frowned at Serena, he watched her eat the piece of toast. He wondered why she didn't eat more. He felt very much concerned for Serena, even though she seemed like she was avoiding him at the moment. Every time he would look at her she would turn away.

Ron's eyes sparkled excitedly after swallowing his scrambled eggs, "She arrived last week, Friday. You were in the infirmary, so you didn't know. She's really wicked!" he exclaimed happily.

Hermione nodded in agreement, "She's very nice, she's almost like Professor Lupin," she informed.

"Tuesday, we discussed about this huge ugly thing, it was so bloody brilliant I tell you! I can't wait to get to class later on," Ron said excitedly.

"That huge ugly thing is called a youma, Ron," said Harry.

Serena nodded as she listened to their talks about the new Professor. She was actually looking forward to meet this new Professor. Yet somehow she felt that she already did meet her.....but where?
