Just Around the Corner
Summary:
Hotarus on her way to be Queen of Saturn and the Magical World. Her daughter has just entered High School. Things seem to be going perfectly. But it becomes complicated when her daughters father shows up. HP/SM *Hotaru centered*
Set WAY after Galixia thing for SM and in-between 3rd and 4th year for HP
This chapter would have been out sooner but I was stuck in a cabin with no heater for the entire weekend! Do you know how cold South Dakotas nights are in the fall?! They reach the high 30s! High 40s if we are lucky!
Probably doesn't help that I had to share a bed with my lil twerp sister. Who is such a cover hog! I had this teeny lil paper thin sheet to keep me warm and she had this wool blanket! ^_^ Thank god for Grandmas. She brought an extra and covered me up during the night.
Just Around the Corner
Chapter 3: Memories...Part 1
~*~
Hotaru was speechless. No words would escape from her mouth no matter how many times she opened it to speak.
Sirius looked at her with amusement as she looked around for an escape route. "Sorry, only way out of here is that way" he teased and pointed to Hotarus left. It was long with very little lighting.
Hotaru blushed lightly. "Trista thought we should talk" Hotaru replied in a meek soft voice that even to her own ears sounded weak and slightly scared.
"I agree, we gave a lot to talk about. Starting with why you didn't tell me you were pregnant" Sirius replied. It had come out harsher then he had planned on.
Hotaru glared. "Why don't we start with what happened the night my brother died instead" she spat back.
Sirius flinched. "I already to you what happened. I convinced James to switch the secret keeper to Peter. Peter told Voldemort where they were. Voldemort killed them. I tracked down Peter, Peter killed the 13 muggles and I got arrested for it." he muttered softly "End of story. What else is there to say?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Hotaru demanded. "Why hadn't my brother told me? Why hadn't Lily?"
"Because at the time we thought you and Remus worked for Voldemort together."
Hotaru sent him a hurt angry look. "Why? For gods sake, Black! I'm a Sailor Scout. We fought side by side in the Order to get rid of him! What in the hell made you think I had anything to do with Voldemort? What made you think I would betray my brother and best friend?"
Sirius looked away in a embarrassed, ashamed manner "I don't know... It just seemed to make the most sense at the time"
A tear rolled down Hotaru cheek "I'm sure it did to you. Everyone's thought I was evil at one point."
"Hotaru, I'm sorry"
Hotaru let out a bitter laugh. "How many times have you told me that Sirius?" she questioned before starting to walk down the hallway. "Your apologizes have no meaning anymore."
"Hotaru! Hotaru wait!" Sirius called after her, like he had done many times in the past. But unlike back then she kept walking ignoring his pleas for her to stop.
Hotaru whipped the tears off her cheeks as she attempted to ignore him
~*~
He had blown it and he wasn't fully sure how! All he knew was that he had. Just like he had when they had first met....
~*~ Flashback
"Hi James!" a much younger Hotaru called to her twin with a cheerful smile.
James smiled back. "How is it goin, Hotaru?" he questioned. "Whose your new friend?"
The lovely red head with amazing green eyes smiled at him shyly. "I'm Lily Evans" she replied
James winked at her. "James Potter, Hotarus twin. These two are Sirius Black and Remus Lupin" he replied
Hotaru rolled her eyes.
Sirius looked closely at Hotaru. "You don't look like James. How can you be his twin?"
Hotaru blinked "What do you mean I don't look like him?!" she questioned. "The only difference is I have darker hair, paler skin, and purple eyes! Else we are identical!"
"Your not as cool as him either" Sirius added with a smirk.
Hotaru glared at him. "Ya well, my mamas told me about you Blacks! And if what she says is true then your no good!" she retorted angrily.
Sirius glared right back at her.......and so began the 6 year long war.
~*~
Sirius couldn't help but chuckle to himself. 'Guess not much has changed' he thought absently. He was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard his door creak open. He turned around to come face to face with his daughter, Rhea.
Her dark purple dress looked oddly out of place on her. She appeared more the type who would rather wear pants and a black blouse then a princess dress.
They stood there looking at one another for several minutes before Rhea broke the silence.
"Mama said you were my father" she said awkwardly
Sirius opened his mouth to reply but she had dashed down the hallway before sound could escape his lips
1 hour later
Rhea walked threw the halls with out a true destination.
It took her several minutes to realize she was no longer in the safeness of the Crystal Palace but was now in her mothers private garden that held many kinds of flowers, plants, and wildlife. Trees towered over her with beautiful pink and red Sakura flowers on them. A mini Waterfall was in front of her with a small pond that held tiny gold fish and some Saturanian fish that where a dark purple. Red, yellow, white, and orange roses where to her left. So many of them that you could hardly see the ground in-between them.
"Rhea, sweety what are you doing out here?" Hotaru questioned her daughter
Rhea looked up at her mother who was sitting on one of the black crystal benchs wish I could look more like mom....' she thought absently as she gazed at her mother.
Hotaru was wearing her traditional Queens dress. It was a sleeveless long dress that was tight from the waist up and the poofed out from the waist down. Her long black hair was in a bun surrounded by little curls. Around her head was a braid. A gold crown with amethysts was placed on her head.
The only hint of make up on her face was the clear lip gloss.
"What is it, Rhea?" Hotaru pressed on.
Rhea blushed "I was just kind of curious....can you tell me about you and...dads first date?"
Hotaru blushed and squirmed. Not liking this subject. But she couldn't exactly tell her no.......could she? "Well....let me think........"
~*~Flashback
"Are you still going to the dance with my brother, Lily?" Hotaru questioned as they did their homework.
Katie, Nicole, and Anne's eyes snapped over to them.
Katie was a sweet, somewhat shy Muggle-Born Gryffindor who was a serious bookworm. She was always reading what ever she could get her hands on. Her long sleek black hair fell past her shoulders and her coal black eyes made it avious that she was Japanese.
Anne, Katie's best friend, was a kind naive Half-blood Gryffindor who wasn't the best at magic. No matter how hard she studied, no matter how hard she practice she just wasn't good at it. But that didn't stop her from having fun. With her wild blond hair that went off in every direction and her piercing blue eyes she was often the center of attention.
Finally Nicole who got along best with Jennifer and Kitty...both Gryffindors in a different room. She had a large temper and an even larger imagination. But because of this she was often caught day dreaming rather then studying. Much to Lily and Katie's shock and dismay. She had thick curley brown hair that reached her waist and shining blue-green eyes that had a life of their own. She would be the first Gryffindor from Hotarus year to die at the hands of Voldemort.
Lily blushed under her four roommates curious gazes. "Its not like anyone else invited me"
Nicole smiled warmly at her "I think you and James make a cute couple" she complimented. Then looking at Hotaru slyly "Almost as cute as Sirius Black and Hotaru Potter"
Hotaru blushed scarlet and glared at the brown haired girl. "The day I date Sirius is the day Katie dates Peter"
Nicole and Anne exchanged amused looks before snickering leaving a confused Lily and Hotaru and a tomato red Katie.
Lily looked between them before realization hit her. "Peter finally got the guts to ask you out didn't he?!"
"Yes....and I...tishhumehould" she muttered into her hand.
"Translation?" Hotaru questioned. Raising an eyebrow.
Anne's smile grew "She said yes and I told him I would."
Nicole burst into laughter but soon found a pillow thrown into her face courtesy of Lily.
Lily glared at Nicole before smiling at Katie "Well I think its a great idea! You two are made for each other."
Nicole covered her mouth to muffle her giggles.
"Well who are you going with Simms?" Lily snapped at Nicole.
Nicole immediately stopped giggling. "Im going with Erin from Ravenclaw"
"The one with curly black hair, pretty gray eyes, and a REALLY cute ass?" Anne asked
Nicole smiled "Thats the one"
Hotaru rolled her eyes "Theres more to a guy then their butts."
"To bad thats all you have thats worth talking about, Potter" Sirius sneered
Hotaru glared at him and then at her brother "Are you just going to let him talk to me like that?!"
James blushed and looked between his twin and his best friend. Then at Lily who was glaring at him. "No...of course not............watch what you say to my sister Sirius. I preferred you stay alive and my sister stay out of jail...."
Katie smiled at Peter "Hi Peter"
Peter blushed and gave a weak smile "Hey Katie"
Nicole snickered and batted her eyelashes "Ya hi Peter" she mimicked Katie. "Oof!"
Lily smiled smugly and put the pillow back down.
"Im going to the Library." Hotaru announced and stood up.
Remus nudged Sirius in the side and glared at him. "Ask her"
Hotaru was half way down the stairs when Sirius grabbed her wrist. "What do you want, Black"
"Nothing much, Potter. Just for you to go to the dance with me" he replied
"Gunna have to be a teeny bit more romantic to catch my attention, Sirius" she said "The answers no"
Sirius glared at her before whipping her around and wrapping an arm around her waist. He pressed his lips against hers.
When the kiss was finished Hotaru was blushing a deep scarlet.
"How is that for romantic, Hotaru?"
~*~
The much older Hotaru blushed at the memory. Then used the ever so popular line "Ask your father, Rhea"
~*~
Sorry its so short. But I'm trying to update as often as possible and to write long chapters would mean longer for me to get em out. Besides. My schools really loading on the homework! They have no mercy!
I hardly have any time left anymore to write. With school, work, S.A.L.S.A (a volunteer group with my school), Taekwondo, homework, and then chores! I'm surprised I have time to sleep!
^_^ Im pleased with my work...maybe not as good as chapter two but still good. Thank you to all of you that reviewed. Im really grateful. Chapter 4 is under way.
*smiles happily* Only 7 to 10 more chapters to go!

Every word counts.......not really but Im bored and I have 14 minuts tell I go to bed. *counts all the extra words shes typed.*
Im a freak I know. But hey! What else am I supposed to do?! I have no car so I can't drive anywhere and its to late to walk somewhere! HURRAH! I HAVE NOW I HAVE THIS MANY WORDS 2016!!!!
