~LEGACY~
by: Lessa of Ruatha
Hi!
the name's lessa of ruatha or just lessa. this is my first (posted) fic so lemme know what you think of it. just to give information, setsuna isn't the guardian of the time gates, she's only princess pluto and sailor pluto. her kaasan (well, her kaasan's ghost, technically) is the guardian though setsuna will inherit it soon.
PS: a lot of this will be OOC, but bear with me. in fact, it's almost AU because sere knows about cosmos but they haven't dealt with chaos yet. and there is no chibi-usa (she's such a little bitch! if i was a superheroin and some kid appeared in my life saying i was gonna rule the world and that i had to marry some asshole i'd probably ask her what she was on! then again, i wouldn't exactly act like sere does so i probably would have already killed mars, maybe even venus. mercury and jupiter would be my best friends, uranus would be like my twin, neptune would be a cousin, pluto an aunt, and saturn a little sister)
plot: a new enemy appears and has the power of true magic behind him. queen selenity sends the senshi to hogwarts to be taught that kind of magic, not the planetary stuff they know and use. but what if serena is really related to snape and is hiding all of her true self from even her closest senshi? what if she knows exactly who is trying to kill them? what if, to defeat him, she must go to the highest stage of her powers, beyond even that of cosmos? she must become the ultimate senshi, sailor ******!!!! (hehe, gotta keep you on your toes. i'll let you in on it later.)
disclaimer: i don't own harry potter or sailor moon. i am but a broke 14-year-old with too much free time and way too used to procrastinating

"I'm sick of smiling and so is my jaw
can't you see my front is crumbling down
I'm sick of being someone I'm not
please get me out of this slump
I'm sick of clapping
when I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting
sick of all these words that will never matter"
-- New Found Glory, "Understatement"

"Let me get this straight- our enemy is stronger than us tenfold, Setsuna-san hasn't had any visions telling us of the future, Rei-chan can't see anything in the fire, and Hotaru-san keeps saying the Balance has shifted." (AN: hotaru is -san' because the inners and outers don't work together)
"Right" chorused all the senshi besides Ami and Serena. Ami, who had asked the previous question, and Serena who was sitting in the corner with a frown on her face. The senshi, Inners, Outers and Darien alike, had tried to talk to her but she snapped at them to leave her alone. Every few moments, one of them glanced at her, but that was it.
"Do not despair, senshi" a melodic voice floated over them. Hovering in the doorway was the ghost of Queen Selenity.
"Selenity-sama" all of the senshi bowed or curtsied.
"Selenity-sama, how can we fight this enemy? Our magic doesn't work." asked Rei.
"Your magic isn't strong enough" said the Queen sadly. "You must learn a new form of it."
"What do you mean?" asked Ami curiously.
"You will know soon enough" said Selenity cryptically.
Serena didn't even move, one might think she was asleep. But the Queen had caught her tiny glance over and saw that her back was tensed, ready for anything.
"Selenity-sama, why is it I haven't had a vision of this?" begged Setsuna.
"Because it's something your kaasan, the Guardian of the Time Gates, controls" explained Selenity. "She deferred to my judgement on the situation." The queen sighed and spread her hands. Instantly they were at the Time Gates, looking on into a portal.
Serena shook her head when they shifted. She peered at the people gathered outside the portal and bit down a gasp. *Kaasama!* her mind screamed. *That's-* she was unable to complete her thought. (AN: she's referring to the queen as -sama' because she's distancing herself from her past life and she doesn't think of selenity as her mother. whatever. if you don't get it i'll explain it to you ~sighs in exasperation~)
*Serenity-chan, you must understand that the senshi and Endymion-sama must be taught these ways of magic* said the queen.
*Why can't I show them truth and teach them?* protested Serena.
*You haven't the time, mesume-chan* interrupted the queen. *But you will be allowed to reveal some of yourself. That is, if no one else does.* An innocent grin tugged at the queen's lips. With that, the queen pushed the senshi through the portal. (AN: selenity refers to sere as -chan' because, as her serenity is dead, she looks to sere as a surrogate, even if sere doesn't want to be serenity.)
All of the senshi looked around, save Serena, as they appeared in a large castle, with a huge staircase behind them and a gigantic doorway in front of them. A stern-looking woman was waiting there, a scowl on her face. "Wait until the Headmaster introduces you" she told them, before disappearing into the room.
"Students of Hogwarts, this year we will be having many transfer students from Japan!" announced Dumbledore. "They are skilled in a different magic than ours, and we would appreciate it if you were kind and courteous to them, showing them what Hogwarts is about." He gestured to Professor McGonagall.
"Aino Minako, 5th year" began McGonagall, using the Japanese way of saying last name first.
The girl that came down wore robes of a pale yellow, that contrasted with her butterscotch-colored hair and cornflower-blue eyes. Eyes that looked around the room with awe. She sat slowly on the Sorting Hat's stool.
"Hmm" began the Hat, its voice heard by everyone in the Great Hall. "You are very carefree, but when someone hurts your friends you jump to help. A great deal of loyalty, too. You'll do well in HUFFLEPUFF!"
Minako handed the Hat back to McGonagall and headed over to the table that was cheering loudly.
"Kino Makoto, 5th year!"
A girl wearing forest green robes walked up to the stool. Her bright emerald-green eyes looked over the students, her wavy brown hair falling out of her loose ponytail. The moment the Hat touched her head it exclaimed, "GRYFFINDOR!" Makoto shrugged at the startled looks from the professors, and took a seat at said table.
"Mizuno Ami, 5th year!"
A mousy girl with bright blue hair and pale blue eyes walked shyly up the podium. Her pale blue robes billowed loosely around her petite frame. A pair of wire-frame glasses were perched on her nose.
"A protegé" remarked the Hat. "And at such a young age. A good appetite for learning. RAVENCLAW!"
Ami placed the Hat on the stool, blushing and fidgeting with her glasses at the cheers. She took a seat near another girl at the table.
"Hino Rei, 5th year!"
A young woman in crimson robes was the next to come down. Her long black hair swayed behind her and her violet eyes glanced over the Hall. She scowled at the professors and dropped onto the seat.
The Hat thought for a few seconds before announcing, "GRYFFINDOR!" (AN: i need her to be in gryffindor. yeah, yeah, she should go to slytherin, but she's not. so there!)
Scowl firmly in place, she took a seat at the Gryffindor table, beside Makoto.
"Ten'oh Haruka, 7th year!"
A young man wearing a golden robe stalked up the steps. Before he sat on the seat, he turned around and glared at everyone with dark blue eyes. Longish blond hair was pulled back from his face, pushed behind his ears. "First of all-" he began crisply. "Michi-koi is MINE. You try anything with her, Hota-chan, or Koneko-chan and you die. Understood?!" That said, he sat down. The Hat touched his head and screamed, "HUFFLEPUFF!" Haruka slowly took a seat by Minako, still glaring at all the students, particularly the males.
"Kai'ou Michiru, 7th year!"
A beautiful young woman dressed in sea-green robes was the next to take her spot at the stool. She had strange, blue-green hair, and cerulean eyes that matched her robe. Her posture screamed elegance and self-confidence.
"Well ... " mumbled the Hat. "You wish to be with your boyfriend? I'm afraid that's not possible. You're for RAVENCLAW!"
Michiru gracefully went to sit by Ami, throwing an apologetic look over her shoulder at Haruka.
"Tomoe Hotaru, 4th year!"
A younger girl with short black hair walked up to the dais. She wore dark violet robes, a shade lighter than her dark purple eyes. Taking a seat, she was silent as the Hat murmured to her.
"You carry darkness within you" it began. "Not evil, no, just darkness. Hurt and pain, you've always known. Despite your wishes, you will do well in SLYTHERIN!"
Hotaru let McGonagall remove the Hat before making her way over to the table that hadn't recieved any senshi yet.
"Meiou Setsuna and Chiba Mamoru will be acting as a teaching assitants!"
The black-haired, blue-eyed man was beside Snape, who was glaring darkly at the other man. The green-haired, red-eyed woman was beside Professor Trelawny, looking a bit sick at the thought of working with the -cough*insane*cough- professor.
"And Tsukino Serena, 5th year!"
A young woman wearing a black robe was the last to come forth. She had a hood pulled over her head, hiding her face and hair. Striding up to the dais with an air of confidence, she glanced at Dumbledore. She removed the hood to reveal long blond hair in two odangoes and light blue eyes. Her stare intensified until he began to chuckle.
"Perhaps a reintroduction is in order" he said. "Seren Snape!"
A smirk curled Seren's lips. She snapped her fingers and her appearance reverted to her original one. Her hair lightened until it was a silver color, her eyes changing until they were a light amethyst. Winking at the professor who was in danger of loosing his eyes, she sat on the stool. The moment the Hat touched her head, it shouted, "SLYTHERIN!" Like Snape's blood would go anywhere else. Shrugging off the Hat, she took a seat across from Hotaru and beside a cute blond boy.

full lyrics to new found glory's "understatement":
I'm sick of smiling and so is my jaw
can't you see my front is crumbling down
I'm sick of being someone I'm not
please get me out of this slump
I'm sick of clapping
when I know I can do it better for myself
I'm sick of waiting
sick of all these words that will never matter
I wire these nerves together
hoping for a chance to think on time
and I'm tracing over your letter to see
if your intentions are as good as mine
But you're getting worse
I swear it it's hard to prove you're an understatement
you're getting worse and
I know that you'll be calling calling calling me again
I'm done with everything that had to do with you
don't worry your pictures are already burned
I'm done with new friends
don't sell yourself short you'll lose it in the end
I wire these nerves together
hoping for a chance to think on time
and I'm tracing over your letter to see
if your intentions are as good as mine
But you're getting worse
I swear it it's hard to prove you're an understatement
but you're getting worse
and I know that you'll be calling calling calling me again
I can't help how I feel no I can't help how i feel
But you're gettin worse
i swear it it's hard to prove you're an understatement
you're gettin worse and i
know that you'll be calling calling me again
calling me again calling me again
But you're getting worse
I swear it it's hard to prove you're an understatement
but you're getting worse
and I know you'll be calling calling calling me again
