*Yes I made a mistake a huge mistake! I know that Harry is a seeker, but while typing I wasn't paying much attention (my mind was in Lala land as usual) so I typed Chaser instead of seeker, but no fear everything is done already!
*Maybe my story is a bit OOC, so what I don't care! It's my story and nobody can change it! (Does a victory dance)
There I hope that fills the empty side of your brains! I hope you understand everything.

Chapter 10
"Confrontations…the break up"
Harry, Hermione and Ron began to get worried about Usagi and the three lights. Especially Harry, he got really worried over Usagi. She was all edgy and had several bruises on her arms and legs. Over the week the week Usagi and the lights would just mysteriously disappear and go to their "special class". Harry, Hermione and Ron grew suspicious about their special class, they noticed that on Saturday and Thursday Usagi and the others again went mysteriously to their special class at 7 pm without another word. So tonight they have decided to wait for Usagi and the others return from their "special class". Hermione reasoned that it was a Tuesday Usagi and the lights would go to their class.
~Tuesday night~
"So some of the ancient Egyptian potions are deadly," finished Hermione as she explained Egyptian Potions to everyone while they were doing their homework. Everyone understood it except for Usagi who scrunched up her nose and grimaced in frustration.
"I still don't get it!" she whined scratching her head and looking down at her notes.
Hermione heaved a heavy sigh of frustration, she threw up her hands "I give up with you, you're a lost case!" she shouted.
"It's really hard to get something in that thick skull of hers," laughed Seiya knocking his hand on Usagi's head.
"Hey!" exclaimed Usagi in defense sticking out her tongue. "You're mean!"
Everyone laughed at Usagi's funny antics except for Harry who had a grim expression. Suddenly the big grandfather clock struck 7. Simultaneously the lights head shoot up from their work and looked at the clock. Harry, Hermione and Ron exchanged skeptical looks knowing exactly what was going to happen next.
Usagi didn't bother to look up. She just tightened the hold on her quill. Hurriedly she shoved all her things in her book bag and stood up, missing the fact that something small fell out of the book bag in process. She didn't dare to meet eyes with Harry in fear that her eyes might show that they were something up to. That she is just lying about the special class thing.
"Look at the time!" exclaimed Taiki dramatically trying to act natural but failing terribly. "Looks like we are heading to our class now!" he said standing up.
"Wait a minute, you've been doing that last week, why cant you just tell us what kind of class you doing? We are your friends aren't we?" said Harry suddenly he looked into Usagi's eyes trying to find an answer but she quickly turned her head away.
"Sorry we can't tell you! Gees we already told you a hundred times!" said Yaten turning on his heel and started walking to the portrait hole.
"Bye," said Taiki before following Yaten.
"See you guys tomorrow. Hurry up odango or else the 'Professor' will kill us, and I mean really kill us!" shouted Seiya as he walked towards the portrait hole.
Usagi sighed loosening the tie on her uniform. 'Oh boy these times are getting difficult,' she thought.
"Why can't you tell us? We are your friends," asked Ron suspiciously.
Usagi averted her eyes on the three for a second before looking away completely. "Sorry I can't," she mumbled. 'It's for your own good,' she added mentally. She quickly kissed Harry on the cheek, "Don't wait up, good night," she murmured before she then turned and started to walk towards the portrait whole but Harry caught her wrist. She turned to face him and looked him in the eyes. She quickly looked away and pulled her hand away from him. She couldn't stand his searching eyes. "Good night" she repeated before quickly darting out of the common room.
Harry sat back down in his chair sighing angrily. The inking suspicion that something BIG was going on grew. "Okay so your right, something is up and I am not going to wait to find out. We are going through with the plan." He said finally.
"That's alright and all but you know it could get really late," informed Ron while rereading his potion essay.
"The last time she came into our dorm I was able to be awoken and I noticed it was already past midnight," informed Hermione calmly.
"12 midnight?!" exclaimed Ron disturbing some other students by his sudden out burst. "Sorry," he mumbled sheepishly to them. He quickly turned to Hermione and Harry. "Now I am really intrigued on what's they are doing up so late, that is way past light's out,"
Harry nodded in agreement. He really wanted to know what is their late night prowling all about. He also wondered which Professor would assign such a class. He suddenly noticed something glistening on the floor. Bending forward a little he picked up a muggle photograph. "What's this?" he mumbled examining the picture. He gasped when he recognized who was in the picture. It was a muggle picture of Usagi and some other people.
There in the picture was a smiling Usagi standing in the middle wearing a school uniform hugging a young man by the arm. Beside the two where three other girls with the exact same uniform as Usagi. Hugging Usagi around the waist was another girl with raven colored hair laughing happily, clearly those girls were the same age as Usagi. Harry was able to identify the three guys behind Usagi as the Three Lights. Right infront of the girls stood a small girl who looked about 8 or 9 she had shoulder length black hair. What was funny was she seemed to be hugging someone invisible as if she were hugging air. At her feet stood two cats one was black and the other was white. Both cats had funny symbols on their foreheads like a golden crescent Moon. Standing next to the three light stood a girl, who looked a bit older than Usagi, she had aquamarine hair. Next to her stood a guy or to Harry what seemed like a guy. But what shocked or amazed Harry even more was, standing at the side of the group stood a smiling Professor Meioh. She wore a simple professional suit and smiled happily at the camera. Harry was sure that this was their DADA teacher.
"What you got there Harry?" asked Ron disturbing Harry in his thoughts.
"Here take a look at this," Harry said handing Hermione the picture. Harry stayed quiet and starred blankly ahead. 'What really is going on? What is the connection between Usagi, the Three Lights and Professor Meioh? Is it really just a coincidence that all five of them are here at the same time?' he thought.
"Oh my! Isn't that Professor Meioh?" she exclaimed as she looked down at the picture in her hands.
Ron looked over her shoulder and looked sown at the picture in her hands, "Hmm, Seiya was right. She looked like a dumpling head," he commented.
"Ron! You're missing the point!" shouted Hermione pushing him away from her.
Ron sighed and sat down next to her, "What? So Professor Meioh is there,"
"Don't you see? They are close friends obviously. Some how they know each other, " she informed.
"Wonder who the other's are," wondered Ron taking the picture from Hermione.
"Probably her friends," said Hermione shrugging.
"The guy?" asked Ron.
"Her ex-boyfriend." Said Harry snatching the picture from and stared down at the young man. "She told me about him, cheated on her though." He glared down at the picture before stuffing it into the pockets of his robes.
"So, we'll just wait," said Ron slumping back in his chair.
"We'll be in a long wait," said Hermione she looked at the clock it read 7:30 "In a really long wait," she added sighing.
Harry sat silently he stared into the fireplace. He was thinking about Usagi and her mysterious past life, 'I don't know anything about her,' thought Harry finally. But it'll change soon.
~Somewhere in the castle~
"Silver Moon Power Kiss!" shouted Sailor Moon, a silver white beam shot out of her crystal.
"Dead scream!" shouted Pluto her attack flying straight towards Sailor Moon's. The two attacks hit straight on. Canceling each other creating a big explosion.
"Sailor Moon are you alright?" asked Pluto after the ruble that the explosion created settled down. The Starlights stopped their training and walked over to the two.
"You're not focused," stated Maker concerned. "What troubles you?"
Sailor Moon sighed and dehenshined, she sat down on a huge piece of stone that lay one the floor by the explosion. "It's just I don't like lying Harry and the others," said Usagi putting her head in her hands.
"I know it's hard to keep it a secret and knowing the one you love maybe in danger just because of you and you cant just tell him the truth. But we cant just walk up to them and say 'Hey you'll probably die soon if Voldemort finds us, so guess what we are the Sailor senshi here to risk our lives to save you," said Fighter sitting next to Usagi.
"You know I think they might be getting suspicious," mumbled Maker rubbing her chin thoughtfully.
"Hai, they are suspecting something. They really want to know what we are always doing here," added Healer nodding her head.
"Just don't tell them alirght then everything will be fine," said Pluto. "We don't want them to be placed in danger."
"I just can't keep with all the lying," wailed Usagi in frustration.
"Don't consider it lying, let just say, umm, a cover up! So that we don't expose ourselves." Said Healer grinning at Usagi.
"It's just I want to tell them," sighed Usagi standing up. 'It's so difficult, if he finds out that I am Sailor Moon, what will he do? How will he react? I need to know…' she thought sadly she looked down at her transformation brooch as if it was the one who brought her into this mess. 'I wish I hadn't accept the brooch…but it's destiny.' She thought sadly. She wondered how much this little brooch changed her life. 'Then again if I wasn't Sailor Moon, I would never meet Harry,' she thought wryly. 'Destiny is really
Cruel to me,' she thought finally, she then stood up and henshined.
"No you cant. Unless you want Harry to be in danger. Imagine if he knows who we are automatically they would try and help us fight Voldemort. We all know Voldemort's target may also be Harry, we can't risk his life. So it'll just put him in more danger," said Maker logically.
Sailor Moon sighed, she clutched her staff tighter, "Hai I understand. I am just worried what will happen if they find out," she mumbled sadly.
"Of course. Let us continue practicing. An evil presence is slowly approaching here. We should continue our training," announced Setsuna loudly, clearly she didn't like to continue with the subject. Everyone nodded in agreement, "It's going to be a long night"
Mumbled Healer.
~Common Room~
"Man it's dark," whispered Seiya loudly.
"I thought you got used to the dark," hissed Yaten rubbing his very sore arm.
"Quiet you two, it's way past midnight. Everyone is asleep so let's just keep it that way." Scolded Taiki.
"My arms are too tired to hold my wand to create light," complained Usagi as she fingered her way across the room.
"Then maybe we can help you with that," said an oddly familiar voice.
'Harry!' thought Usagi alarmed. The four of them turned around. The fire in the fireplace place roared to life and next to it stood a shocked Harry, Hermione and Ron as they looked at the four.
"Ohmigod!" shouted Hermione as she looked at Usagi, taking in their beaten up states. "Look at you! What happened?" she asked fully shocked to see Usagi beaten up and battered.
"Usagi?" asked Harry, looked at her with disbelief. Not believing that this was his Usagi. Usagi looked up and meet his gaze. Usagi was quite shocked to see them still up. She quickly looked away from Harry's searching eyes. It was the same look she would give someone if she felt suspicious and needed some answers. The same look she gave the senshi when she found out they betrayed her.
"I thought I said you shouldn't wait up for us," said Usagi slowly.
"We thought we see you four and how you are doing but we never expected this," said Ron gesturing to their beaten up state.
"We were walking down the corridors…" said Seiya trying to make up an excuse.
"And then…then we fell down the stairs and got all beaten up." Added Yaten hastily falling miserably in lying.
"You all fell down the stairs?" asked Harry suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.
"It was Seiya!" exclaimed Taiki suddenly. "He was so clumsy he fell down the stairs. When he fell he bumped into us and causing all of us to fall too," explained Taiki giving Seiya a 'Don't-say-a-word-or-else-we'll-get- busted' look.
"Me?" squeaked Seiya, he looked at Yaten who just shrugged his shoulders. "OH yes, me! Clumsy me!" exclaimed Seiya dramatically.
"You don't mean to tell us that your class is until this hour?" asked Ron raising an eyebrow.
"What is your class by the way? Any chance to tell us?" said Hermione crossing her arms across her chest. Harry did the same and looked directly at Usagi urging her to look at him and tell them.
Usagi looked up finally and stared blankly at Harry. Sighing she spoke up, "We can't tell you. Now if you excuse us we are all tired now. I am going to bed. Good night." It took all her will power to turn on her hell and walk up to the girl dorms instead of telling Harry of what is truly going on. 'His eyes,' mused Usagi. 'Searching for an answer. As if being betrayed,' she thought while walking up the stairs.
"Usagi wait!" shouted Harry but it was too late Usagi already disappeared up the girls' dormitories. Sighing in frustration he walked up the boys' dorms without another word. One could hear the door slamming loudly.
"We are sorry," said Seiya, soon the lights also walked up to their dorms.
"We'll might as well get some sleep too," said Ron sighing. "It didn't accomplish anything anyway."
Hermione nodded, she kissed Ron on the cheek before they separated to their dorms. "Some how we are going to find out," she mumbled tiredly as she climbed into her bed. She already noticed that Usagi was curled up in her bed. 'Somehow,'
"Setsuna! They are suspecting something!" said Taiki for the third time.
Usagi and the lights are currently in the office of Setsuna informing her about last night's incident. They immediately came here after class.
"What do you mean they are suspecting something? Who?" asked Setsuna from behind her desk.
"Harry and the others! When we came in last night. They were waiting up for us. I am telling you they are suspecting something!" shouted Seiya angrily pounding his fist on the table. 'To think she is the senshi of time, she doesn't even listen to us,' thought Seiya dryly.
Usagi listened to their heated conversation silently. She sat by the window staring out the horizon blankly. 'What am I going to do? I can't stop to Harry, if he finds out then he wants to involve in the battle and help us. Then I'll just put him in danger. And one thing more if he finds that I have been lying to him of who I am, that I am not just plain simple Usagi but ruler of the future universe Princess Serenity and nonetheless Fighter Sailor Moon he might think I don't thrust him' she thought sadly. In her hands was her brooch, it glistened in the afternoon sun. 'This is my destiny,' she thought looking down at the small parcel. 'This think brought me only heartache, pain and sorrow,' she thought as she opened the brooch and the crystal glowed warmly. 'But still it brought me here and I found Harry…' she thought looking down at the crystal. 'My life has so many twist and turns,' she thought with a snap she closed the brooch and placed it back in her robes.
"They can't find out. Tell them next time that you are helping me with some work," said Setsuna standing up. The Starlights nodded in agreement.
"Setsuna," said Usagi her voice cutting in their conversation. They all turned to her in response, "Why haven't they attacked? It's been so long already. What is Voldemort waiting for?"
The starlight all looked at Setsuna quizzically. The same question ringing in their minds as well. It really has been along time now since they found out that the senshi have betrayed their princess.
Setsuna had for the first time in her life a baffled expression on her face. She heaved a heavy sight before answering. "I don't know. It seems really odd indeed. It's been months now and still no attacks. I think Voldemort is waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack. I just don't know when. That's why we should be at our guards at all cost."
The lights had a shock expression on their faces. The senshi of time doesn't know when? That was a big one.
Usagi nodded her head in understanding. She didn't press any further. Clearly she herself was able to feel the evil presence fast approaching. She just didn't know when also. Sighing she stood up and headed for the door.
"I'm going to he Quidditch field we have practice for Saturdays match," she said before walking out the door.
"It is really getting to her," said Yaten after Usagi had left.
"Poor odango," mumbled Seiya as he watched the door close.
"So then, now that you are here maybe you can help me with some work," said Setsuna smiling at the three. Two loud groans could be heard from Yaten and Seiya. While Taiki just sweatdropped.
Usagi walked aimlessly down the many corridors of Hogwarts castle towards the main entrance. Today she wasn't in the mood to play Quidditch but since she didn't want to face Oliver's wrath and his long speech with the reasons why they should practice in order to win she went anyway. Her thoughts kept on drifting back to last night's encounter with Harry. His eyes searching for some answers. 'An answer for what?' she asked mentally. 'For being out so late, for not telling what I am doing for not…for not telling who I am,' she answered mentally. 'For no thrust,' she added gloomily. 'He is just concerned' her logical side chided.
She walked past by some happily chattering group of 3rd year Hufflepuffs. She wished that could be her and her friends gossiping about boys. She smiled slightly at the memory of her and Minako chasing after Haruka thinking that she was a guy. 'Minako,' she thought sadly at her best friend who betrayed her.
'Harry is just worried about you, where you go and what you do. That's all' her mind added. She nodded in agreement well at least tried to agree with it. She still couldn't wipe away the memory of his searching eyes. They were much like hers when she found out her senshi betrayed her. Her train of thoughts was disrupted when an old but merry voice spoke up to her.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind." Said Dumbledore when her coming his way.
Usagi stopped in her tracks and looked up to meet the twinkling eyes of Professor Dumbledore. "Oh Professor! Good afternoon! I didn't see you there!' she said smiling lightly at the old man. Her smile soon faded and she sighed heavily. "Yes, I have a lot on my mind," she added frowning and sighing again.
Dumbledore nodded seeming to know what troubles her. He looked down at the girl he still couldn't believe that this young girl carries the burden of the future of the whole world, no, universe on her tiny shoulders. Then again this young girl doesn't seem to be too young at all since she have already lived so many lives before. She was truly like her mother in every little aspect. A loving, caring, strong and power full person. She seemed to carry a glow with her, which makes people different. He truly respected this young girl.
"So where are going Usagi?" asked Dumbledore as they walked down to the main entrance.
"Quidditch field, practice for Saturdays match," Usagi answered slowly.
Dumbledore nodded, "Then I shall accompany you to the field."
Usagi looked up at him surprised, "No need to do that sir. Thank you for the offer though. I am sure you don't want to waste your time with me," she said while opening the doors of the main entrance and getting hit buy a strong gust of cold November wind.
"Nonsense!" shouted Dumbledore following Usagi out into the open. He bent down a bit and whispered. "You are a princess after all. You should be kept guarded at all times. Besides I really wish to talk you," he said chuckling a bit.
Usagi looked up sharply and stared at Dumbledore's smiling face before breaking into a smile herself, a genuine smile this time. A smile she didn't smile after a long time now. He knew how to make her smile. That's why she respects him so much, he threats her like a daughter.
Both of them started strolling towards the gigantic Quidditch field. The air was really chili this time. Usagi had to pull her robes tighter around her small frame.
"If you don't mind me asking Usagi," began Dumbledore. "But how are you doing right now?"
Usagi mentally thanked him for his concern. "Fine I guess. There are no attacks and all. Just a bit tired of all that training. But all in all I am fine in a weird way," she smiled at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore chuckled, in situations like this she really knew how to make people laugh just like her mother. 'No wonder Harry Potter if fond of her,' he thought slyly. "No I mean with you and Mr. Potter,"
Usagi stopped in her tracks and looked up at the old man. A baffled expression on her face, 'what is he? Does he know who his students are dating or what?' she thought. "Oh she breathed, her breath forming into those small white clouds. A small blush crept on her cheeks, she briskly started walking again. 'News travels fast around here,' she thought ironically.
"Fine I guess, just fine. He, Ron and Hermione are suspecting something though. Why we are always out every other night and come back in wee hours of the morning." She finally answered sighing yet again. 'I sigh a lot nowadays,' she thought.
"Ah, yes Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and ms. Granger have their way of finding out you know," informed Dumbledore. Usagi nodded her head blankly.
"Ah, we have arrived," said Dumbledore when they arrived at the pitch. "I'll be off now before the cold is getting to me or else I'll be in the infirmary on Saturday and I really don't want to miss the match," he added smiling at some of Gryffindors players that were looking their way. "It was a pleasure to spend some time with you your majesty" he added whispering.
"Thank you sir for the company," said Usagi blushing slightly at the formality. Dumbledore nodded and began walking back to the castle.
Usagi smiled at the retreating back of the headmaster. He really knew how to make one feel better.
~Next Day~ Thursday~
Harry and everyone else were talking and laughing in the common. They just arrived from dinner and surprisingly they had no homework to do.
"So how's practice coming along?" asked Ron.
"Of fine everything is just fine. If only Oliver would calm down a bit with practicing. He really is excited about the game." Said Usagi sitting next to Harry.
Harry was quite surprised to se Usagi with Professor Dumbledore coming towards the quidditch field yesterday. Both of them were talking about something fairly important since their voices were all hushed. 'Could it possible Dumbledore knows?' he thought. Harry still didn't give up thinking that something was going on. And tonight they were going to find out what.
The big grandfather clock struck 7. Harry, Ron and Hermione expected that the lights and Usagi were about to stand up and walk away, which they did.
"Sorry guys but we have to go," stated Seiya.
"Special class?" asked Hermione calmly expecting a yes as an answer, raising an eyebrow.
The four exchanged nervous look, Yaten nodded at Taiki. "Actually we are helping Professor Meioh with some, err, work she asked us to do," Taiki said.
Hermione, Harry and Ron didn't expect that as an answer. "Professor Meioh?" asked Ron.
Usagi nodded she peeked Harry on the cheek, "Don't wait up this time, Good night," she then followed the lights out of the portrait hole.
"Professor Meioh?" repeated Ron raising an eyebrow.
"Work?" chorused Hermione, "Now this we didn't expect,"
"Never mind lets just continue with the plan," said Harry angrily. He pulled out a cloak from his book bag. Tonight they were going to follow Usagi and the others to where ever they disappear to.
They quickly walked towards the portrait hole before stepping out making sure no was looking the three of them threw on the Invisibility cloak. They stepped out the hole and they were able to quickly catch up with Usagi and the lights.
"I thought Professor Meioh's office was in the other direction," muttered Ron.
"Hush Ron, they might here you!" whispered Hermione as they followed their friends along the many corridors.
'It's not that I don't thrust you,' thought Harry thinking about Usagi. 'I just wish I knew where you're going,' he thought a hint of betrayal in his mind. He watched Usagi from behind the cloak. 'Seiya knows so much more about you than I do. I feel so jealous about him,' he added. Suddenly they stopped since Usagi and the lights stopped also.
"Okay is this it?" asked Yaten stopping infront of a dead end.
"Well it is, only is it a dead end," answered Taiki looking at the stoned wall.
"Maybe we took a wrong turn," suggested Seiya.
Usagi shock her head, "This is the place, the door was here or well, it was two days ago. Where is it now? Do you think it wandered of?" she knocked the wall and then suddenly a door materialized. Usagi smiled, "See I was right,"
The door opened and out came Professor Meioh's head, she looked a bit irritated. "Finally, c'mon in and let's get started and to think you already knew the way," her head disappeared back inside the room.
Usagi shrugged, "C'mon, you heard what Setsuna said," she then went into the room. The lights quickly followed. The door closed by itself and with a sound of a 'click' the door was locked.
Harry, Hermione and Ron quickly threw off the cloak. "Okay now that was weird," whispered Ron.
"So Professor Meioh is into this too," whispered Hermione, she heard as Usagi called the Professor Setsuna.
Harry leaned closer to the door. He couldn't hear a thing. "I can't hear anything at all," whispered Harry frustrated.
"It is probably a sound proof room," whispered Hermione leaning near the door and haring nothing.
"We should get back to the tower. It is no use hanging around here anyway," whispered Ron pulling Harry away from the door. "Besides if they make it to the tower before us they might think we have been following them,"
Harry nodded slowly, he turned back to the door one final time, 'Usagi' he thought. Throwing back on the invisibility cloak they hurried their way back to the Gryffindor tower. All of them were intrigued and curious on what was behind the door and about Usagi', the light's and Professor Meioh's secret. Harry couldn't stand it any longer he had to find out he had to confront Usagi.
~Next Day~ Friday~
"Now that will be all for today, just remember to do `er homework," boomed Hagrid after a long discussion of Knarls.
Slowly the Slytherins and Gryffindors walked back to the warm castle to get away from the chilling cold. And for some lunch.
Harry turned to Ron and Hermione, "Go on ahead, I still need to talk to Usagi," he said. Ron nodded, "We'll leave you two seats," he said before he and Hermione started to walk to the castle. Harry started walking towards Usagi and the lights who were talking amongst themselves. 'Over the past few days, she became so distant,' he thought.
"Usagi!" he shouted as they were in earshot.
Usagi stopped walking and turned around when someone had called her. she smiled when it was Harry. "Harry!" she shouted happily. She felt a bit guilty since she wasn't spending much time with him.
Harry reached them quickly, "We need to talk," he looked at the lights, "In private," he added.
Usagi looked at the lights, they nodded and walked away. Usagi turned to Harry smiling but her smile soon faded quickly when she saw him not smiling at all. He had a grim expression on his face.
Harry grabbed her hand and led her away from all the students and to the edge of the lake.
"what's wrong?" asked Usagi concerned and utterly confused. 'Please don't let this be about the evening disappearances.' She silently prayed.
Harry grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "I want to know," began slowly, "I want to know what going on,"
Usagi stared into Harry's eyes not believing this is happening. "What do you mean?" she asked slowly.
Harry held her tighter by the shoulders, making Usagi wince slightly. "I want to know where you are mysteriously going every other night, why you are coming back so late. And why…why you became so distant from me," he said concerned but sternly. At the last part of his sentence it was evident that he was hurt. Usagi could feel his pain in her heart.
Usagi looked him in the eyes, before turning away. She could feel his pain in her heart. 'I am sorry, why did we ever fall in love? Then I wouldn't have caused you this pain,' she thought sadly her head was turned away from him. "I can't tell you," she said slowly. 'I only cause pain,' she thought. Solitary tears made their down her cheeks.
"Why can't you tell me? Is it that you don't thrust me? Is that it?" Harry asked letting go of Usagi's shoulders. He looked at her with pained eyes. 'Why?' he thought.
Usagi took a step back from Harry's sudden out burst. 'I do thrust you. I thrust my life with you, but I need to protect you,' she thought. She had the urge to tell him this but she couldn't. " I do thrust you, it's just I can't tell you!" she said finally. More tears of frustration and pain came.
"You can't tell me, why? And what were you doing last night on the 5th floor corridor? What is in that room that you and the lights entered, where Professor Meioh was waiting in? That corridor is strictly of limits," asked Harry, he was frustrated that Usagi didn't tell him anything but also pained that she didn't thrust hime enough.
Usagi stopped crying and starred at Harry with shock, "You have been following us? How could you follow us?" she asked taking another step back.
"Because I was concerned about you I need to know what is going on. Look Seiya your…your friend, he seems to know more about you than me. He knows you so much better than I do. I don't even know half of your life, or no wait a minute, I don't know you whole life! I don't even know your favorite color! Why cant you just tell me what is going on, and be honest with me," said Harry finally letting all emotions go. He stared deep into Usagi's cerulean eyes, only to see pain and turmoil.
"So your jealous? Hey, look at me I got a jealous boyfriend!" said Usagi looking at Harry with a hurt expression. "I can't just tell you what is happening. My life is too complicated, I can't just tell you what is going on, I cant! I made a promise. Seiya know because he was there in my life, he knows how it feels, he knows because he is my friend," Usagi said finally tears streaming down her friends.
'So that' how it is, If Seiya is your friend, the bloody hell what am I?' he mentally shouted. "So that's how it is," he muttered staring at Usagi as she silently cried. He felt sorry for her somehow, he could feel her pain and turmoil.
"I can't just tell you, it's because I want you to be safe. I don't want you to be hurt!" said Usagi looking at Harry painfully.
"Hurt? I am hurt already. You seem that you don't thrust me at all, maybe it's for the best that we…break up," said Harry finally the last words hurt him so badly he really didn't want to break up he finally someone he loved but now they had to break up.
Usagi starred at him with pure shock, 'No please no, kami no!' she mentally shouted. "You can't be serious," she whispered. Her hear had been torn in two. She found someone who she loved, she had found her soulmate but now there was nothing more but a torn heart.
"I am sorry, but you aren't honest with. I just can't keep up and worry about you. I love you but you don't tell me where you are or what is going on. I am sorry, here," said Harry finally. He handed her a picture, the picture he had found in the common room. "I am sorry," he repeated he started to walk away. He felt a pain in his heart, the pain of heartache. He realized what he had done when he reached the castle steps and turned around and looked at Usagi's small crying form. His heart wrenched in pain. 'What have I done?' he thought painfully. He touched his cheeks only to find them wet. Harry Potter was crying out of heartache.
Usagi crumbled to the ground and started crying. Again destiny made another sudden twist in her life causing another heartache. She found her soulmate, the one she loved but suddenly her duty as princess and senshi came in the way and caused her pain. She looked down at the picture Harry gave her; it was a picture of all the senshi. 'Mina,' she thought sadly tears dripping on the picture. 'I miss you, how could you do this to me?' she thought sadly. More tears started to flow. She sat by the lake crying, ignoring the harsh cold wind hitting her. 'Harry,' she thought painfully. She cried harder as the thought came to her head, 'Maybe it was for the best,' she cried. 'At least Harry is out of too much danger,' she thought sadly. She continued crying all the way back to the castle, 'But who will keep my heart safe?' she thought as she arrived in her dorm and started crying on her bed.

Chapter 10
"Confrontations…the break up"
Harry, Hermione and Ron began to get worried about Usagi and the three lights. Especially Harry, he got really worried over Usagi. She was all edgy and had several bruises on her arms and legs. Over the week the week Usagi and the lights would just mysteriously disappear and go to their "special class". Harry, Hermione and Ron grew suspicious about their special class, they noticed that on Saturday and Thursday Usagi and the others again went mysteriously to their special class at 7 pm without another word. So tonight they have decided to wait for Usagi and the others return from their "special class". Hermione reasoned that it was a Tuesday Usagi and the lights would go to their class.
~Tuesday night~
"So some of the ancient Egyptian potions are deadly," finished Hermione as she explained Egyptian Potions to everyone while they were doing their homework. Everyone understood it except for Usagi who scrunched up her nose and grimaced in frustration.
"I still don't get it!" she whined scratching her head and looking down at her notes.
Hermione heaved a heavy sigh of frustration, she threw up her hands "I give up with you, you're a lost case!" she shouted.
"It's really hard to get something in that thick skull of hers," laughed Seiya knocking his hand on Usagi's head.
"Hey!" exclaimed Usagi in defense sticking out her tongue. "You're mean!"
Everyone laughed at Usagi's funny antics except for Harry who had a grim expression. Suddenly the big grandfather clock struck 7. Simultaneously the lights head shoot up from their work and looked at the clock. Harry, Hermione and Ron exchanged skeptical looks knowing exactly what was going to happen next.
Usagi didn't bother to look up. She just tightened the hold on her quill. Hurriedly she shoved all her things in her book bag and stood up, missing the fact that something small fell out of the book bag in process. She didn't dare to meet eyes with Harry in fear that her eyes might show that they were something up to. That she is just lying about the special class thing.
"Look at the time!" exclaimed Taiki dramatically trying to act natural but failing terribly. "Looks like we are heading to our class now!" he said standing up.
"Wait a minute, you've been doing that last week, why cant you just tell us what kind of class you doing? We are your friends aren't we?" said Harry suddenly he looked into Usagi's eyes trying to find an answer but she quickly turned her head away.
"Sorry we can't tell you! Gees we already told you a hundred times!" said Yaten turning on his heel and started walking to the portrait hole.
"Bye," said Taiki before following Yaten.
"See you guys tomorrow. Hurry up odango or else the 'Professor' will kill us, and I mean really kill us!" shouted Seiya as he walked towards the portrait hole.
Usagi sighed loosening the tie on her uniform. 'Oh boy these times are getting difficult,' she thought.
"Why can't you tell us? We are your friends," asked Ron suspiciously.
Usagi averted her eyes on the three for a second before looking away completely. "Sorry I can't," she mumbled. 'It's for your own good,' she added mentally. She quickly kissed Harry on the cheek, "Don't wait up, good night," she murmured before she then turned and started to walk towards the portrait whole but Harry caught her wrist. She turned to face him and looked him in the eyes. She quickly looked away and pulled her hand away from him. She couldn't stand his searching eyes. "Good night" she repeated before quickly darting out of the common room.
Harry sat back down in his chair sighing angrily. The inking suspicion that something BIG was going on grew. "Okay so your right, something is up and I am not going to wait to find out. We are going through with the plan." He said finally.
"That's alright and all but you know it could get really late," informed Ron while rereading his potion essay.
"The last time she came into our dorm I was able to be awoken and I noticed it was already past midnight," informed Hermione calmly.
"12 midnight?!" exclaimed Ron disturbing some other students by his sudden out burst. "Sorry," he mumbled sheepishly to them. He quickly turned to Hermione and Harry. "Now I am really intrigued on what's they are doing up so late, that is way past light's out,"
Harry nodded in agreement. He really wanted to know what is their late night prowling all about. He also wondered which Professor would assign such a class. He suddenly noticed something glistening on the floor. Bending forward a little he picked up a muggle photograph. "What's this?" he mumbled examining the picture. He gasped when he recognized who was in the picture. It was a muggle picture of Usagi and some other people.
There in the picture was a smiling Usagi standing in the middle wearing a school uniform hugging a young man by the arm. Beside the two where three other girls with the exact same uniform as Usagi. Hugging Usagi around the waist was another girl with raven colored hair laughing happily, clearly those girls were the same age as Usagi. Harry was able to identify the three guys behind Usagi as the Three Lights. Right infront of the girls stood a small girl who looked about 8 or 9 she had shoulder length black hair. What was funny was she seemed to be hugging someone invisible as if she were hugging air. At her feet stood two cats one was black and the other was white. Both cats had funny symbols on their foreheads like a golden crescent Moon. Standing next to the three light stood a girl, who looked a bit older than Usagi, she had aquamarine hair. Next to her stood a guy or to Harry what seemed like a guy. But what shocked or amazed Harry even more was, standing at the side of the group stood a smiling Professor Meioh. She wore a simple professional suit and smiled happily at the camera. Harry was sure that this was their DADA teacher.
"What you got there Harry?" asked Ron disturbing Harry in his thoughts.
"Here take a look at this," Harry said handing Hermione the picture. Harry stayed quiet and starred blankly ahead. 'What really is going on? What is the connection between Usagi, the Three Lights and Professor Meioh? Is it really just a coincidence that all five of them are here at the same time?' he thought.
"Oh my! Isn't that Professor Meioh?" she exclaimed as she looked down at the picture in her hands.
Ron looked over her shoulder and looked sown at the picture in her hands, "Hmm, Seiya was right. She looked like a dumpling head," he commented.
"Ron! You're missing the point!" shouted Hermione pushing him away from her.
Ron sighed and sat down next to her, "What? So Professor Meioh is there,"
"Don't you see? They are close friends obviously. Some how they know each other, " she informed.
"Wonder who the other's are," wondered Ron taking the picture from Hermione.
"Probably her friends," said Hermione shrugging.
"The guy?" asked Ron.
"Her ex-boyfriend." Said Harry snatching the picture from and stared down at the young man. "She told me about him, cheated on her though." He glared down at the picture before stuffing it into the pockets of his robes.
"So, we'll just wait," said Ron slumping back in his chair.
"We'll be in a long wait," said Hermione she looked at the clock it read 7:30 "In a really long wait," she added sighing.
Harry sat silently he stared into the fireplace. He was thinking about Usagi and her mysterious past life, 'I don't know anything about her,' thought Harry finally. But it'll change soon.
~Somewhere in the castle~
"Silver Moon Power Kiss!" shouted Sailor Moon, a silver white beam shot out of her crystal.
"Dead scream!" shouted Pluto her attack flying straight towards Sailor Moon's. The two attacks hit straight on. Canceling each other creating a big explosion.
"Sailor Moon are you alright?" asked Pluto after the ruble that the explosion created settled down. The Starlights stopped their training and walked over to the two.
"You're not focused," stated Maker concerned. "What troubles you?"
Sailor Moon sighed and dehenshined, she sat down on a huge piece of stone that lay one the floor by the explosion. "It's just I don't like lying Harry and the others," said Usagi putting her head in her hands.
"I know it's hard to keep it a secret and knowing the one you love maybe in danger just because of you and you cant just tell him the truth. But we cant just walk up to them and say 'Hey you'll probably die soon if Voldemort finds us, so guess what we are the Sailor senshi here to risk our lives to save you," said Fighter sitting next to Usagi.
"You know I think they might be getting suspicious," mumbled Maker rubbing her chin thoughtfully.
"Hai, they are suspecting something. They really want to know what we are always doing here," added Healer nodding her head.
"Just don't tell them alirght then everything will be fine," said Pluto. "We don't want them to be placed in danger."
"I just can't keep with all the lying," wailed Usagi in frustration.
"Don't consider it lying, let just say, umm, a cover up! So that we don't expose ourselves." Said Healer grinning at Usagi.
"It's just I want to tell them," sighed Usagi standing up. 'It's so difficult, if he finds out that I am Sailor Moon, what will he do? How will he react? I need to know…' she thought sadly she looked down at her transformation brooch as if it was the one who brought her into this mess. 'I wish I hadn't accept the brooch…but it's destiny.' She thought sadly. She wondered how much this little brooch changed her life. 'Then again if I wasn't Sailor Moon, I would never meet Harry,' she thought wryly. 'Destiny is really
Cruel to me,' she thought finally, she then stood up and henshined.
"No you cant. Unless you want Harry to be in danger. Imagine if he knows who we are automatically they would try and help us fight Voldemort. We all know Voldemort's target may also be Harry, we can't risk his life. So it'll just put him in more danger," said Maker logically.
Sailor Moon sighed, she clutched her staff tighter, "Hai I understand. I am just worried what will happen if they find out," she mumbled sadly.
"Of course. Let us continue practicing. An evil presence is slowly approaching here. We should continue our training," announced Setsuna loudly, clearly she didn't like to continue with the subject. Everyone nodded in agreement, "It's going to be a long night"
Mumbled Healer.
~Common Room~
"Man it's dark," whispered Seiya loudly.
"I thought you got used to the dark," hissed Yaten rubbing his very sore arm.
"Quiet you two, it's way past midnight. Everyone is asleep so let's just keep it that way." Scolded Taiki.
"My arms are too tired to hold my wand to create light," complained Usagi as she fingered her way across the room.
"Then maybe we can help you with that," said an oddly familiar voice.
'Harry!' thought Usagi alarmed. The four of them turned around. The fire in the fireplace place roared to life and next to it stood a shocked Harry, Hermione and Ron as they looked at the four.
"Ohmigod!" shouted Hermione as she looked at Usagi, taking in their beaten up states. "Look at you! What happened?" she asked fully shocked to see Usagi beaten up and battered.
"Usagi?" asked Harry, looked at her with disbelief. Not believing that this was his Usagi. Usagi looked up and meet his gaze. Usagi was quite shocked to see them still up. She quickly looked away from Harry's searching eyes. It was the same look she would give someone if she felt suspicious and needed some answers. The same look she gave the senshi when she found out they betrayed her.
"I thought I said you shouldn't wait up for us," said Usagi slowly.
"We thought we see you four and how you are doing but we never expected this," said Ron gesturing to their beaten up state.
"We were walking down the corridors…" said Seiya trying to make up an excuse.
"And then…then we fell down the stairs and got all beaten up." Added Yaten hastily falling miserably in lying.
"You all fell down the stairs?" asked Harry suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.
"It was Seiya!" exclaimed Taiki suddenly. "He was so clumsy he fell down the stairs. When he fell he bumped into us and causing all of us to fall too," explained Taiki giving Seiya a 'Don't-say-a-word-or-else-we'll-get- busted' look.
"Me?" squeaked Seiya, he looked at Yaten who just shrugged his shoulders. "OH yes, me! Clumsy me!" exclaimed Seiya dramatically.
"You don't mean to tell us that your class is until this hour?" asked Ron raising an eyebrow.
"What is your class by the way? Any chance to tell us?" said Hermione crossing her arms across her chest. Harry did the same and looked directly at Usagi urging her to look at him and tell them.
Usagi looked up finally and stared blankly at Harry. Sighing she spoke up, "We can't tell you. Now if you excuse us we are all tired now. I am going to bed. Good night." It took all her will power to turn on her hell and walk up to the girl dorms instead of telling Harry of what is truly going on. 'His eyes,' mused Usagi. 'Searching for an answer. As if being betrayed,' she thought while walking up the stairs.
"Usagi wait!" shouted Harry but it was too late Usagi already disappeared up the girls' dormitories. Sighing in frustration he walked up the boys' dorms without another word. One could hear the door slamming loudly.
"We are sorry," said Seiya, soon the lights also walked up to their dorms.
"We'll might as well get some sleep too," said Ron sighing. "It didn't accomplish anything anyway."
Hermione nodded, she kissed Ron on the cheek before they separated to their dorms. "Some how we are going to find out," she mumbled tiredly as she climbed into her bed. She already noticed that Usagi was curled up in her bed. 'Somehow,'
"Setsuna! They are suspecting something!" said Taiki for the third time.
Usagi and the lights are currently in the office of Setsuna informing her about last night's incident. They immediately came here after class.
"What do you mean they are suspecting something? Who?" asked Setsuna from behind her desk.
"Harry and the others! When we came in last night. They were waiting up for us. I am telling you they are suspecting something!" shouted Seiya angrily pounding his fist on the table. 'To think she is the senshi of time, she doesn't even listen to us,' thought Seiya dryly.
Usagi listened to their heated conversation silently. She sat by the window staring out the horizon blankly. 'What am I going to do? I can't stop to Harry, if he finds out then he wants to involve in the battle and help us. Then I'll just put him in danger. And one thing more if he finds that I have been lying to him of who I am, that I am not just plain simple Usagi but ruler of the future universe Princess Serenity and nonetheless Fighter Sailor Moon he might think I don't thrust him' she thought sadly. In her hands was her brooch, it glistened in the afternoon sun. 'This is my destiny,' she thought looking down at the small parcel. 'This think brought me only heartache, pain and sorrow,' she thought as she opened the brooch and the crystal glowed warmly. 'But still it brought me here and I found Harry…' she thought looking down at the crystal. 'My life has so many twist and turns,' she thought with a snap she closed the brooch and placed it back in her robes.
"They can't find out. Tell them next time that you are helping me with some work," said Setsuna standing up. The Starlights nodded in agreement.
"Setsuna," said Usagi her voice cutting in their conversation. They all turned to her in response, "Why haven't they attacked? It's been so long already. What is Voldemort waiting for?"
The starlight all looked at Setsuna quizzically. The same question ringing in their minds as well. It really has been along time now since they found out that the senshi have betrayed their princess.
Setsuna had for the first time in her life a baffled expression on her face. She heaved a heavy sight before answering. "I don't know. It seems really odd indeed. It's been months now and still no attacks. I think Voldemort is waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack. I just don't know when. That's why we should be at our guards at all cost."
The lights had a shock expression on their faces. The senshi of time doesn't know when? That was a big one.
Usagi nodded her head in understanding. She didn't press any further. Clearly she herself was able to feel the evil presence fast approaching. She just didn't know when also. Sighing she stood up and headed for the door.
"I'm going to he Quidditch field we have practice for Saturdays match," she said before walking out the door.
"It is really getting to her," said Yaten after Usagi had left.
"Poor odango," mumbled Seiya as he watched the door close.
"So then, now that you are here maybe you can help me with some work," said Setsuna smiling at the three. Two loud groans could be heard from Yaten and Seiya. While Taiki just sweatdropped.
Usagi walked aimlessly down the many corridors of Hogwarts castle towards the main entrance. Today she wasn't in the mood to play Quidditch but since she didn't want to face Oliver's wrath and his long speech with the reasons why they should practice in order to win she went anyway. Her thoughts kept on drifting back to last night's encounter with Harry. His eyes searching for some answers. 'An answer for what?' she asked mentally. 'For being out so late, for not telling what I am doing for not…for not telling who I am,' she answered mentally. 'For no thrust,' she added gloomily. 'He is just concerned' her logical side chided.
She walked past by some happily chattering group of 3rd year Hufflepuffs. She wished that could be her and her friends gossiping about boys. She smiled slightly at the memory of her and Minako chasing after Haruka thinking that she was a guy. 'Minako,' she thought sadly at her best friend who betrayed her.
'Harry is just worried about you, where you go and what you do. That's all' her mind added. She nodded in agreement well at least tried to agree with it. She still couldn't wipe away the memory of his searching eyes. They were much like hers when she found out her senshi betrayed her. Her train of thoughts was disrupted when an old but merry voice spoke up to her.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind." Said Dumbledore when her coming his way.
Usagi stopped in her tracks and looked up to meet the twinkling eyes of Professor Dumbledore. "Oh Professor! Good afternoon! I didn't see you there!' she said smiling lightly at the old man. Her smile soon faded and she sighed heavily. "Yes, I have a lot on my mind," she added frowning and sighing again.
Dumbledore nodded seeming to know what troubles her. He looked down at the girl he still couldn't believe that this young girl carries the burden of the future of the whole world, no, universe on her tiny shoulders. Then again this young girl doesn't seem to be too young at all since she have already lived so many lives before. She was truly like her mother in every little aspect. A loving, caring, strong and power full person. She seemed to carry a glow with her, which makes people different. He truly respected this young girl.
"So where are going Usagi?" asked Dumbledore as they walked down to the main entrance.
"Quidditch field, practice for Saturdays match," Usagi answered slowly.
Dumbledore nodded, "Then I shall accompany you to the field."
Usagi looked up at him surprised, "No need to do that sir. Thank you for the offer though. I am sure you don't want to waste your time with me," she said while opening the doors of the main entrance and getting hit buy a strong gust of cold November wind.
"Nonsense!" shouted Dumbledore following Usagi out into the open. He bent down a bit and whispered. "You are a princess after all. You should be kept guarded at all times. Besides I really wish to talk you," he said chuckling a bit.
Usagi looked up sharply and stared at Dumbledore's smiling face before breaking into a smile herself, a genuine smile this time. A smile she didn't smile after a long time now. He knew how to make her smile. That's why she respects him so much, he threats her like a daughter.
Both of them started strolling towards the gigantic Quidditch field. The air was really chili this time. Usagi had to pull her robes tighter around her small frame.
"If you don't mind me asking Usagi," began Dumbledore. "But how are you doing right now?"
Usagi mentally thanked him for his concern. "Fine I guess. There are no attacks and all. Just a bit tired of all that training. But all in all I am fine in a weird way," she smiled at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore chuckled, in situations like this she really knew how to make people laugh just like her mother. 'No wonder Harry Potter if fond of her,' he thought slyly. "No I mean with you and Mr. Potter,"
Usagi stopped in her tracks and looked up at the old man. A baffled expression on her face, 'what is he? Does he know who his students are dating or what?' she thought. "Oh she breathed, her breath forming into those small white clouds. A small blush crept on her cheeks, she briskly started walking again. 'News travels fast around here,' she thought ironically.
"Fine I guess, just fine. He, Ron and Hermione are suspecting something though. Why we are always out every other night and come back in wee hours of the morning." She finally answered sighing yet again. 'I sigh a lot nowadays,' she thought.
"Ah, yes Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley and ms. Granger have their way of finding out you know," informed Dumbledore. Usagi nodded her head blankly.
"Ah, we have arrived," said Dumbledore when they arrived at the pitch. "I'll be off now before the cold is getting to me or else I'll be in the infirmary on Saturday and I really don't want to miss the match," he added smiling at some of Gryffindors players that were looking their way. "It was a pleasure to spend some time with you your majesty" he added whispering.
"Thank you sir for the company," said Usagi blushing slightly at the formality. Dumbledore nodded and began walking back to the castle.
Usagi smiled at the retreating back of the headmaster. He really knew how to make one feel better.
~Next Day~ Thursday~
Harry and everyone else were talking and laughing in the common. They just arrived from dinner and surprisingly they had no homework to do.
"So how's practice coming along?" asked Ron.
"Of fine everything is just fine. If only Oliver would calm down a bit with practicing. He really is excited about the game." Said Usagi sitting next to Harry.
Harry was quite surprised to se Usagi with Professor Dumbledore coming towards the quidditch field yesterday. Both of them were talking about something fairly important since their voices were all hushed. 'Could it possible Dumbledore knows?' he thought. Harry still didn't give up thinking that something was going on. And tonight they were going to find out what.
The big grandfather clock struck 7. Harry, Ron and Hermione expected that the lights and Usagi were about to stand up and walk away, which they did.
"Sorry guys but we have to go," stated Seiya.
"Special class?" asked Hermione calmly expecting a yes as an answer, raising an eyebrow.
The four exchanged nervous look, Yaten nodded at Taiki. "Actually we are helping Professor Meioh with some, err, work she asked us to do," Taiki said.
Hermione, Harry and Ron didn't expect that as an answer. "Professor Meioh?" asked Ron.
Usagi nodded she peeked Harry on the cheek, "Don't wait up this time, Good night," she then followed the lights out of the portrait hole.
"Professor Meioh?" repeated Ron raising an eyebrow.
"Work?" chorused Hermione, "Now this we didn't expect,"
"Never mind lets just continue with the plan," said Harry angrily. He pulled out a cloak from his book bag. Tonight they were going to follow Usagi and the others to where ever they disappear to.
They quickly walked towards the portrait hole before stepping out making sure no was looking the three of them threw on the Invisibility cloak. They stepped out the hole and they were able to quickly catch up with Usagi and the lights.
"I thought Professor Meioh's office was in the other direction," muttered Ron.
"Hush Ron, they might here you!" whispered Hermione as they followed their friends along the many corridors.
'It's not that I don't thrust you,' thought Harry thinking about Usagi. 'I just wish I knew where you're going,' he thought a hint of betrayal in his mind. He watched Usagi from behind the cloak. 'Seiya knows so much more about you than I do. I feel so jealous about him,' he added. Suddenly they stopped since Usagi and the lights stopped also.
"Okay is this it?" asked Yaten stopping infront of a dead end.
"Well it is, only is it a dead end," answered Taiki looking at the stoned wall.
"Maybe we took a wrong turn," suggested Seiya.
Usagi shock her head, "This is the place, the door was here or well, it was two days ago. Where is it now? Do you think it wandered of?" she knocked the wall and then suddenly a door materialized. Usagi smiled, "See I was right,"
The door opened and out came Professor Meioh's head, she looked a bit irritated. "Finally, c'mon in and let's get started and to think you already knew the way," her head disappeared back inside the room.
Usagi shrugged, "C'mon, you heard what Setsuna said," she then went into the room. The lights quickly followed. The door closed by itself and with a sound of a 'click' the door was locked.
Harry, Hermione and Ron quickly threw off the cloak. "Okay now that was weird," whispered Ron.
"So Professor Meioh is into this too," whispered Hermione, she heard as Usagi called the Professor Setsuna.
Harry leaned closer to the door. He couldn't hear a thing. "I can't hear anything at all," whispered Harry frustrated.
"It is probably a sound proof room," whispered Hermione leaning near the door and haring nothing.
"We should get back to the tower. It is no use hanging around here anyway," whispered Ron pulling Harry away from the door. "Besides if they make it to the tower before us they might think we have been following them,"
Harry nodded slowly, he turned back to the door one final time, 'Usagi' he thought. Throwing back on the invisibility cloak they hurried their way back to the Gryffindor tower. All of them were intrigued and curious on what was behind the door and about Usagi', the light's and Professor Meioh's secret. Harry couldn't stand it any longer he had to find out he had to confront Usagi.
~Next Day~ Friday~
"Now that will be all for today, just remember to do `er homework," boomed Hagrid after a long discussion of Knarls.
Slowly the Slytherins and Gryffindors walked back to the warm castle to get away from the chilling cold. And for some lunch.
Harry turned to Ron and Hermione, "Go on ahead, I still need to talk to Usagi," he said. Ron nodded, "We'll leave you two seats," he said before he and Hermione started to walk to the castle. Harry started walking towards Usagi and the lights who were talking amongst themselves. 'Over the past few days, she became so distant,' he thought.
"Usagi!" he shouted as they were in earshot.
Usagi stopped walking and turned around when someone had called her. she smiled when it was Harry. "Harry!" she shouted happily. She felt a bit guilty since she wasn't spending much time with him.
Harry reached them quickly, "We need to talk," he looked at the lights, "In private," he added.
Usagi looked at the lights, they nodded and walked away. Usagi turned to Harry smiling but her smile soon faded quickly when she saw him not smiling at all. He had a grim expression on his face.
Harry grabbed her hand and led her away from all the students and to the edge of the lake.
"what's wrong?" asked Usagi concerned and utterly confused. 'Please don't let this be about the evening disappearances.' She silently prayed.
Harry grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "I want to know," began slowly, "I want to know what going on,"
Usagi stared into Harry's eyes not believing this is happening. "What do you mean?" she asked slowly.
Harry held her tighter by the shoulders, making Usagi wince slightly. "I want to know where you are mysteriously going every other night, why you are coming back so late. And why…why you became so distant from me," he said concerned but sternly. At the last part of his sentence it was evident that he was hurt. Usagi could feel his pain in her heart.
Usagi looked him in the eyes, before turning away. She could feel his pain in her heart. 'I am sorry, why did we ever fall in love? Then I wouldn't have caused you this pain,' she thought sadly her head was turned away from him. "I can't tell you," she said slowly. 'I only cause pain,' she thought. Solitary tears made their down her cheeks.
"Why can't you tell me? Is it that you don't thrust me? Is that it?" Harry asked letting go of Usagi's shoulders. He looked at her with pained eyes. 'Why?' he thought.
Usagi took a step back from Harry's sudden out burst. 'I do thrust you. I thrust my life with you, but I need to protect you,' she thought. She had the urge to tell him this but she couldn't. " I do thrust you, it's just I can't tell you!" she said finally. More tears of frustration and pain came.
"You can't tell me, why? And what were you doing last night on the 5th floor corridor? What is in that room that you and the lights entered, where Professor Meioh was waiting in? That corridor is strictly of limits," asked Harry, he was frustrated that Usagi didn't tell him anything but also pained that she didn't thrust hime enough.
Usagi stopped crying and starred at Harry with shock, "You have been following us? How could you follow us?" she asked taking another step back.
"Because I was concerned about you I need to know what is going on. Look Seiya your…your friend, he seems to know more about you than me. He knows you so much better than I do. I don't even know half of your life, or no wait a minute, I don't know you whole life! I don't even know your favorite color! Why cant you just tell me what is going on, and be honest with me," said Harry finally letting all emotions go. He stared deep into Usagi's cerulean eyes, only to see pain and turmoil.
"So your jealous? Hey, look at me I got a jealous boyfriend!" said Usagi looking at Harry with a hurt expression. "I can't just tell you what is happening. My life is too complicated, I can't just tell you what is going on, I cant! I made a promise. Seiya know because he was there in my life, he knows how it feels, he knows because he is my friend," Usagi said finally tears streaming down her friends.
'So that' how it is, If Seiya is your friend, the bloody hell what am I?' he mentally shouted. "So that's how it is," he muttered staring at Usagi as she silently cried. He felt sorry for her somehow, he could feel her pain and turmoil.
"I can't just tell you, it's because I want you to be safe. I don't want you to be hurt!" said Usagi looking at Harry painfully.
"Hurt? I am hurt already. You seem that you don't thrust me at all, maybe it's for the best that we…break up," said Harry finally the last words hurt him so badly he really didn't want to break up he finally someone he loved but now they had to break up.
Usagi starred at him with pure shock, 'No please no, kami no!' she mentally shouted. "You can't be serious," she whispered. Her hear had been torn in two. She found someone who she loved, she had found her soulmate but now there was nothing more but a torn heart.
"I am sorry, but you aren't honest with. I just can't keep up and worry about you. I love you but you don't tell me where you are or what is going on. I am sorry, here," said Harry finally. He handed her a picture, the picture he had found in the common room. "I am sorry," he repeated he started to walk away. He felt a pain in his heart, the pain of heartache. He realized what he had done when he reached the castle steps and turned around and looked at Usagi's small crying form. His heart wrenched in pain. 'What have I done?' he thought painfully. He touched his cheeks only to find them wet. Harry Potter was crying out of heartache.
Usagi crumbled to the ground and started crying. Again destiny made another sudden twist in her life causing another heartache. She found her soulmate, the one she loved but suddenly her duty as princess and senshi came in the way and caused her pain. She looked down at the picture Harry gave her; it was a picture of all the senshi. 'Mina,' she thought sadly tears dripping on the picture. 'I miss you, how could you do this to me?' she thought sadly. More tears started to flow. She sat by the lake crying, ignoring the harsh cold wind hitting her. 'Harry,' she thought painfully. She cried harder as the thought came to her head, 'Maybe it was for the best,' she cried. 'At least Harry is out of too much danger,' she thought sadly. She continued crying all the way back to the castle, 'But who will keep my heart safe?' she thought as she arrived in her dorm and started crying on her bed.
