Now, I can't promise that..... this will be the best chapter ever, okay? Because I have no idea how to bring it back, it being Harry's memories, and I forgot to ask you guys last chapter how you would like to have it done. Therefore, this chapter will be mostly Serena reflecting but IS part of Harry's remembrance. Now, how do you want Harry to remember? Give me some scenarios, romantic/angsty please.

This is short and awful, forgive me please. I hate having writers block! T_T

Okay. It's Usagi the first part of this chapter because, you see, I believe Serena is nothing more then a facade for mortal every-day life. Usagi is her 'Moon Princess' form, the one we're used to seeing, the silvery-haired silver Crescent Moon marked princess. Serenity is her true self, a white -haired Moon Maiden. Does that make sense? I hope so.

***************************************************************************************

Usagi exited Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry with deep forebidings in her heart. Her mind was clouded and confused, and she could not bare to have her full illusion of a normal mortal human up on such a day when important decisions such as the one that plagued her mind currently had to be made. She knew sooner or later she would have to awaken Harry's memories, because it simply wasn't fair to have him not remember and everyone else know exactly who they used to be.

Besides that, she hated pretending to be Serena. Even pretending to be Usagi, the Moon Princess the senshi knew, wasn't so bad. At least as Usagi she didn't have to have that ridiculous gold hair. It would be better to be Serenity, but she knew she couldn't. What if someone saw her? No, better to take what she could get.

Who they used to be, she thought suddenly, coming to a stop and looking at a group of first-years who were playing tag, the muggle-borns having taught the wizard -borns how to play. And who they someday will be, because no one can be complete without...... without knowing their past. And these poor children.... I hope someday they can move on.

She turned, facing into the wind, allowing it to eagerly carress her face and shoulders. She wore a simple, sleeveless, pure white dress that fell to the ground. It clung wonderfully to her, letting those around catch a hint of what lay beneath the cloth. Around her shoulders was a silver cloak the same length of her dress. She had left her hair down this day; to avoid curious stares moreso then anything.

It fell nearly to the ground, and had she been in her true form, it would have trailed on the ground. As it was, she could not resist allowing her hair to turn a few shades more silver then usual and a silver Crescent mark to rest on her forehead. Where Usagi was going, it would not matter. She began to walk, the wind blowing her cloak and dress around. She had thought to place her hair inside the cloak, so it would not be quite so windblown.

Her pace took her easily into the Forbidden Forest. Unbeknownst to the girl-child, several students watched her leave in silence. They could have gone after her, very easily. But even the most un-sensitive child watching sensed that evil was coming, and that this girl, even if they didn't really know her, was perhaps their only hope. It was maybe for this reason not a single one moved, and when the shadows of the Forest had closed around Usagi's form, they all turned as one and returned to the castle and relative safety.

But none of them would ever be safe. No, not until Usagi came to terms with what she and her family had to do; not until the senshi came to terms with who their princess truly was; not until all of the senshi were together forever. But that is another story and not the one to tell at the moment.

***


Usagi walked languidly deeper into the ever-darkerning turf. She was not afraid. How could she be when she had seen things far worse then the most awful nightmare; had stood up against them and beaten them? She walked quicker, anxious to get to the centre, until she was running, her feet seeming to barely touch the ground. Her cloak flew out behind her and she clutched the front of her gown with both hands to keep from tripping.

Finally, she came to a stop before a clearing. But this one was very different from the night before. This one had a beautiful waterfall, with sparkling water that tumbled gleefully. The mist formed shimmering rainbows. A deer drank from the stream the waterfall formed. The sun shone overhead. Various flowers adorned the cliff face. It was wonderful.

Usagi was very much aware that, as she walked forward, this was probably all fake. But she didn't care. If it was fake, she would deal with it later. For the moment, she just wanted to be herself. Well, as much of herself as she dared to be, considering the circumstances. Another sigh escaped her mouth as she walked forward and suddenly, she began to sing softly.

"Look at me.
You may think you see
who I really am.
But you'll never know me.

Every day,
It's as if I play a part.

Now I see,
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world.
But I cannot fool my Heart.

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"

Usagi spun around, moving slowly forward. She stopped, skirts spinning around her ankles, when she reached the waters. As she looked deep into the crystal-clear liquid, the rest of her illusion faded away. She now had pure white hair with silver strands throughout it. Her eyes were silver, devoid of any hint of any other color. Her hair, now back in odango, brushed the ground. She still wore the cloak, and the same dress, not wanting to wear her normal garb. Strangest of all, upon her forehead gleamed a beautiful white Crescent Moon.

"I am now,
In a world where
I have to hide my heart.
And what I believe in.

But somehow
I will show the world,
What's inside my heart.
And be loved for who I am.

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?"

She was now Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, daughter of Queen Selene and King Apollo, mother to Neo- Princess Selenity, sister(1) of Princess Minakara of the Venus Kingdom, and finally.... for once.... her true self, unbridled.... and real. It was an exhilarating feeling, but one which would not last, not unless she wanted to draw the Dark Moon to her like moths to a flame.

"There's a heart
that must be free to fly,
That burns with a need
to know the reason why...

Why must we all conceal
What we think...
How we feel?

Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
for all time.

When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"

Serenity's eyes filled with quiet tears as she released the clap that held the cloak to her shoulders. The cloak fluttered to the ground and she followed it, kneeling on the ground and bowing her head. Her shoulders shook with the pain of what she knew she had to do, for Earth, for the Moon, for the future.

"When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"

Serenity took a quavering breath as a wind blew deeply through the trees. The air in front of the girl seemed to flicker quietly, and then the Queen appeared, her eyes saddened by her beloved daughter's grief. Like 'Serena', the Queen who had previously visited them was not the real Moon Queen. The real Moon Queen had light rose hair, still the same length, though. Her eyes were silver and filled with a painful love for her child. Queen Selene smiled.

"My Serenity," she sighed, her voice echoed by the whispers of the wind. "How you have suffered without mercy."

"Mommy." Serenity's eyes brimmed over with tears as, jumping to her feet, she threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears. Queen Selene's only act was to rest her hands on Serenity's head and gently, lovingly, stroked the princess' white hair.

Why had the illusion's been up, you might question? Simple. Serenity had no wanted her dear friends to suffer the crushing truth of the Silver Millennium. Instead, she had created Serena, a klutzy ditz of an Earth human, and Usagi, the 'Moon Princess' her senshi thought they knew, all the while keeping her real self a secret. She had convinced her mother to keep up the illusion of Queen Selenity.

And while it was true the senshi could 'transform' into their princess/prince forms of the Silver Millennium, they wouldn't be themselves if they did. Except for, of course, Aurora, Hotarianna and Minakara because they knew the truth. Serenity hadn't been able to hide it from them.

It grew quite late in the day, but still Selene did nothing but hold her daughter tightly until finally, Serenity pulled away. In the light of the Moon, the Tsuki no Hime's hair looked like Moonbeams.

"Thank-you, Mama," Serenity whispered, holding onto Selene's hands. "It's just..... I miss Harold so much, and having Aunt Lillian (2)and Uncle Jameson here makes it worse...."

"I know, my mesume, but you must try. And do not fret; Harold will be awakened soon, just like you wanted."

Serenity's eyes shone with quiet tears. "Hai, I know. That is one of the only things that keeps me going." Selene smiled and gently cupped the side of her daughter's face. The silver Crescent mark on Selene's forehead glowed; the white one of Serenity's forehead glowed as well. Then, Selene disappeared.

Serenity's eyes flew open and she looked around in shock. "Mommy?" she cried out, but recieved no answer. To her right, however, was the great castle of Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, welcoming her. She sighed, reluctant for a moment, but then, as the wind blew once more, a smile drifted over Serenity's face and started to walk towards the castle.

She knew what she had to do.

**************************************************************************************

(1) - Serenity and Minakara were really, really close, so they consider themselves to be 'sisters'.

(2) - Lily and James Potter aren't really Serenity's aunt and uncle, she just calls them that because she's really close to them.

**************************************************************************************

angel-of-the-white-moon - Ano.... let's just say Michelle was using a magical stretcher to bring Minako along, okay?

CloverWeave - the person guarding the Time Gates is..... Tristana's little sister, Syla, Sailor Time. And the senshi just said that because they knew it was what would make Serena happy.

Tenshi-Hotaru - 'Serena' will do what she's going to do to Remus after Harry remember but before the Final Battle, which is fast approaching.

Koosei - ah, thanks. You're welcome to use them.

Arigato for the reviews, minna! My computer's acting up, so I can't name you all, but thanks.
