Serenity awoke in a cold sweat, staring up at the dark, stone ceiling. The
image of a beautiful kingdom still fresh in her mind, and the thought that
she stood before the crumbling kingdom, that despite its beauty was
overwhelmed with death, to watch many die and then kill herself. The dream
not only frightened her, but also held an eerie sense of truth like it was
more then just a dream. She shook her head and looked around the room.
Draco lay beside her fast asleep, and all thoughts of her strange dream
vanished as she smiled down at him. Silently she stood and went to the
dorms to change. She made her way downstairs a while afterwards to find
Draco already waiting for her, and with a smile they walked down to the
great hall together.
Harry yawned and picked at his food with little interest. Ron sat beside him telling a small group of first and second years about their encounter last night. A few others had seen what happened form the dorm windows, and the story was already known throughout the school. The mysterious woman who saved Hermione from the youma was all anyone could think about. Serenity sat down, listening to Draco as he told her what he saw. She would occasionally glance up at the staff table, and found Snape looking as he normally did; a scowl crossed his lips as he stared down at the students, looking as cold and cruel as possible his expression only softening when he looked to Serenity. He sighed and stood, leaving the great hall silently. Dumbledore later informed the students that he would be taking over Potions for the week because Snape had pressing matters that he needed to attend to.
Harry listened to Dumbledore, but the mans words meant nothing to him. Other thoughts were on his mind; Thoughts of his latest dream. If Serenity really did feel for Snape, then she would be devastated. Voldemort had found Snape spying on him, and had made it his current mission to cause the man as much pain as possible without killing him. Only when Wormtail came with news of Serenity, did Voldemort stop. He made a mental note after thinking of this. He had to tell Dumbledore the Wormtail was keeping tabs on Serenity, and was often in the castle. He turned back to his potion and sighed. Thank god Hermione was doing it, he had forgotten, and class was nearly over. He quickly thanked his friend and began to clean up.
~*~A week later~*~
A howl of pain echoed through the corridors, and students fled from the sight before them. A large hideous creature stood in the Great Hall. It looked more like an overgrown and demented rose bush if anything, its hands being 2-foot long thorns, and Professor Snape dangling from one of them like a rag doll. Dumbledore tried in vain along with every one else who could possibly help to get Snape away from the creature, but nothing seemed to work. Serenity stood at the doorway staring at the scene before her with her eyes wide. She felt the need to do something, to charge at the creature if nothing else, but a crushing feeling engulfed her.
Dumbledore pushed himself up off the floor and readied his wand as the youma came nearer though his actions were cut short as a woman jumped in front of him. She looked vaguely familiar, but couldn't place why because his mind seemed to cloud over.
He watched the woman with interest, however. She wore a white top that hugged her figure quiet nicely, a extremely short white skirt that was trimmed in blue, a red bow placed at her lower back with two large ribbons extending on either side, a similar red bow on her chest, sleeves of a transparent light blue color, and in the center of her skirt a white diamond shaped cloth fell to her knees, it was lined in blue and silver with a golden crescent in the center. Silver hair cascaded down her back gracefully from to odangos held by two golden clasps, and a golden crescent shone on her head. A small scepter was held firmly in her hand as she attacked the creature.
'Tsuki no Hime' the creature growled, tossing Snape aside like a dirty rag. It lunged at her, claws extended, but she dodged this attack with ease. She was less fortunate the second time though; the creature thrust a hand into her stomach and threw her into a wall. She slid to the floor, her stomach red with blood. A soft moan of pain passed her lips, but she stood nonetheless, holding her stomach with one hand and raising the scepter with the other. 'Moon Scepter Elimination!' She choked out and a beam of pink light surrounded the creature, destroying it instantly. Professor Flitwick had already taken Snape away, and Dumbledore stepped towards her.
"Who are you?" He asked. She looked to him for a moment with a pained expression.
"Sailor moon." With that she vanished in a flood of white light. Serenity dropped to the floor, and pulled off her school robes. Blood covered her arms and stomach, but she didn't dare go to the hospital wing or Dumbledore would know that she was Sailor Moon. She placed her wand to the wound and muttered a spell. The wound closed slightly, and she noticed that after the spell stopped the wound began to heal rather quickly on its own. She laid on the floor, the wound now only a scar.
"Why me?" She asked quietly, tears falling down her cheeks as she remembered the dream that had come to her for the past week. A beautiful kingdom on the moon falling to ruin, the death of all those people, and she was there . . . she was princess, but she had taken her own life. That familiar thought crossed her mind. Suicide. She thought of it countless times when she lived with Amanda, but knew death wouldn't come to her. She dried her tears and stood, cleaning her robes with the use of a quick spell then putting them on and leaving.
/Serenity's POV/
Maybe it was all a cruel joke. Maybe he was just playing with me. What if everything the Gryffindors said was true, and he hated me because I was first put in Gryffindor. This was probably all some cruel joke. Detentions and taking points away weren't enough anymore. Well he got his wish then didn't he? What he has done to me is far worse then a million detentions. He was so kind, so caring, so wonderful, but it was just a joke, a false image so he could later shred my heart to bits.
I walked out of the hidden room, through the Astronomy tower, and down to the Slytherin common room. Draco sat on the couch doing homework rather leisurely. He smiled up at me, but I couldn't smile. I took a seat next to him, and he wrapped his arms around me. I couldn't help it; I melted into the warm embrace, taking comfort in his arms.
"Draco? You won't leave me will you?" I asked softly, my arms holding him tightly.
"Never." He replied simply with a gentle smile.
"Promise?" I sat in fear as he said nothing, but a moment later his hand rose. With a tender touch he lifted my chin up so I was looking up at him. His lips brushed against mine; silently promising that he would never leave me. A tear fell from my eyes and I moved closer to him, his arms wrapping around me in a firm hold as he deepened the kiss. When we finally pulled away from each other I rested my head on his lap and his fingers slowly slid through my hair, smoothing it back in a comforting manner. I smiled through the tears. I cry so much its like the tears never stop, and usually they're tears of sadness but now I'm not sure. These tears may be tears of joy. My heart is filled with such confusion that it is almost unbearable, but I refuse to allow myself to think about it now. Now I am just going to savor this moment. This perfect moment.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
How's that? I hope Draco fans are happy. I had to add him a bit more. I fear that Harry has died. XD! I hardly add him in anymore and he is the main character of the book. How sad. Oh well.
