AN: Hello all you happy people! Sorry I didn't update sooner!

WARNING! I've decided not to include the Dead Moon saga, so it's going to be the Animamates and Galaxia who the Sailors are facing. And I know that they don't have demons that turn to dust, I decided to just add that part.

Massive thanks to everybody who reviewed!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Harry Potter. In fact, I own zilch at the moment. -.-

Of Witches, Wizards And Royalty

Chapter Six - In Which Nobody Knows What To Expect

*~*~*

Hotaru walked back to the common room, slightly dazed. She now knew her history, her real past from being the crown princess of Saturn to becoming Sailor Saturn. She felt lighter, and happy, yet worried. She somehow knew that something big was to happen soon.

"Hotaru, there you are! Lucky we have a free period, eh?" Hermione smiled as she saw her friend.

"Yeah, I guess so. . ." She said dreamily, sitting down by the fire, where Ron was trying to figure out the properties of dragon's blood and what it was used for in potions. It seemed his attempts at homework were only being used as fuel for the fire.

"Damn! This is it! I'm not wasting any more parchment! Hermione, can you help me here?"

As Hermione told Ron the uses of dragon's blood, they noticed a figure staring into the flames.

"Hotaru? You OK?" Ron asked, but got no indication that his sister had heard. In fact, she slightly freaked him out, with that twisted smile and those cold, violet eyes that never seemed so dark before. . .

"And the Princess of the White Moon will defeat the darkness, seal Chaos away and the legendary Sailor Soldiers of the Silver Millennium shall be resurrected. . ."

Ron and Hermione just stared at her.

"What is she doing?" Hermione whispered, mostly to herself.

In front of Hotaru, there was a black cloud, and all that was visible were nine planets, the sun, and Earth's solitary moon, which glowed brighter than any star.

"Serenity shall take her throne with Endymion, and together they will produce an heir with rose coloured hair and scarlet eyes. . . Small Lady Serenity. . ."

It was then she sat up, a confused expression on her face. The miniature solar system disappeared.

"Okay, is it me, or are you just as puzzled as I am?" Ron said to Hermione.

"In a future that could have been, Haruka taught me that trick. . ." Hotaru murmured. Ron felt like getting up and checking her forehead for a temperature. Hotaru was acting strangely.

The dark haired girl turned to Ron.

"I found out everything. My pasts, both of them. I know it sounds strange, but it's true. I. . . met some people who knew me from before, and helped me remember. . ." She smiled sadly. "But I'm afraid I may have to leave. I was born a warrior. And it's time for me to fight again. Tell everybody that I love them very much, and I will come back soon." Ron could know see the sparkling tears threatening to fall.

"What do you mean? Past? You're - you're leaving? You're a warrior? Just what's going on?" He said angrily. There was a crash from the lower floors, then an explosion, and the castle shook slightly.

"Hey, if that's the enemy, then I may not have to go at all!" And with that, the girl jumped up and ran through the crowd of screaming children.

*~*~*

"I thought the timeline was secure!" Uranus shouted as Neptune fired a Submarine Reflection at a creature that somehow resembled a human.

"It is! I have no idea how the enemy got through! Dead Scream!" Pluto yelled back, attacking another monster that had just appeared.

At that moment, the Hogwarts professors and some of the students (mostly Slytherins who wanted to congratulate anybody causing damage to the school) arrived on the scene.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Someone shouted. It hit one creature, freezing it, and soon after, the other two were stopped.

Hotaru made her way through the Outer Senshi and Chibi Moon, where they seemed to be having a staring contest with some of the Hogwarts pupils and professors.

"I'm not sure whether to feel insulted or grateful that these people stopped them!" Neptune said to the others. "Hotaru? What are you doing here?"

Hotaru looked behind her. "Well, I was going to help you with those three, but it seems they've already been -" but she was cut off as one of them grabbed hold of a familiar Gryffindor, trying to crush his throat.

"Harry! Saturn Crystal Power, make up!" Hotaru shouted.

After a flash of ribbons which got everybody's attention, Hotaru stood in a purple fuku, holding a glaive in her right hand.

"Who the hell is that!?" Draco Malfoy shouted, pointing at her.

"Who cares! Look at the size of their skirts!" Blaise Zabini crowed.

"Protected by the silent star, Saturn, I am Sailor Saturn!" The others took that as their cue to introduce themselves.

"Protected by the heavenly star, Uranus, I am Sailor Uranus!"

"Protected by the deep sea star, Neptune, I am Sailor Neptune!"

"Protected by the time and space star, I am Sailor Pluto!"

"And protected by the future moon, I am Sailor Chibi Moon! We won't stand demons attacking the innocent! And we definitely won't stand for dirty perverts either!"

"Sailors? What the hell? And what's a Chibi?"

"Ha! So, even more Sailor Scouts? Let's see how you face off against my demons!" A short woman with white hair and grey eyes said. She wore a bracelet on each arm, and wore a white fuku different to that of the Outers.

"Space Sword Blaster!" Uranus cried as the. . .thing holding Harry charged at her. The attack sliced it clean in two, before it turned to dust, dropping Harry on the ground. Hotaru rushed to his aid.

"Are you OK? Here, I'll help you up. . ."

"Hotaru. . .? Is that you. . .?" He said in disbelief. She smiled.

"Yes, it's me, now quick, get back to the castle." She said, stabbing a youma behind her with her glaive. Saturn then went to the professors and students.

"Quick! You must all get back to the castle!" She shouted as more demons came from nowhere. She was amazed that none of them had tried to run yet.

"Silence Wall!" She cried, creating a shield to keep them all safe.

"Didn't you hear me? Get into the castle NOW!" Saturn screamed, pointing her glaive at them. They group pretty much got the message and ran back to the castle.

"Good Gods, the second day here and already my life's been turned upside down!" Saturn muttered, dropping the shield and attacking the demons all around her.

"Silence Glaive Surprise!" Saturn shouted, watching as all of the demons crumbled, turning to dust. A strong wind blew and scattered the remnants of the demons. Saturn fell to the ground, exhausted.

"My body isn't as frail as before, so at least that last attack didn't kill me. . ." Hotaru said, detransforming and collapsing on the ground.

The Outers looked at one another.

"Do you think we should call the Inners and the Princess?" Michiru asked, her Sailor fuku disappearing. Haruka looked thoughtful.

"I think we should see. If we get attacked with that many creatures tomorrow, we'll call them here." She said.

"But if we call them, then what will happen to our world?" Chibi-Usa questioned.

"The only way would be to bring some of the Sailors from your time, Small Lady. That way we could help save this place, and Tokyo would be safe from attackers. I don't think it's against my rules. . ." Setsuna answered. "I think we should bring the Amazon Senshi to our time. But now, let's go to the castle."

Haruka picked Hotaru up and followed the others into the castle., none of them noticing the three figures watching them from the shadows.

"Sailor Senshi. . . just like us. . ." One said.

"They must have great powers to be able to destroy all of those demons." A second whispered.

"And we were sent here. That means that she may be here. . ." The third smiled, and with that, they vanished into the shadows.

*~*~*

"We're lost." Haruka said, folding her arms. Hotaru had woken up a few minutes before and was placed on her feet.

"Well, it's only my second day here! I haven't been to the Head's office.

"How about we ask one of those teachers?" Chibi-Usa asked. And so they did.

"Um, Professor McGonagall, do you know where the Head's office is?" Hotaru asked.

McGonagall looked at the strange group, then her eyes went back to Hotaru.

"Follow me." She said. The old Professor had a feeling that these were no ordinary people.

They arrived at a statue of a gargoyle, and Professor McGonagall stood in front of it.

"Chocolate Frogs." She said, and the gargoyle moved, revealing a hidden staircase.

"This way." The five girls followed the Professor. At the top was a large room, decorated with portraits of past Headmasters, and on the shelves were many books and strange contraptions. There was a desk in the centre of the room, and next to it was a perch with a phoenix on it.

"Wow! A phoenix! It's beautiful!" Hotaru said, looking at it.

"Yeah, I've seen a couple in special reserves in Crystal Tokyo!" Chibi-Usa said.

Neither of them noticed that a very old wizard had appeared.

"I have classes to teach, I must be on my way." McGonagall said, leaving the room.

"Ah, so you are the ones McGonagall told me about. Please, take a seat." Dumbledore said, conjuring five chairs. The girls sat down. "Now, where are you from, and what are your names?"

"Tokyo, Japan." Haruka and Michiru said in unison. "I'm Haruka Ten'ou, and this is Michiru Kaioh." The blonde added.

"You probably know already." Hotaru said.

"Crystal Tokyo, Chibi-Usa Tsukino." Chibi-Usa answered.

"Can't say, but I'm Setsuna Meioh." Setsuna said.

"Ah. Now, from what I've heard, you girls are from a different dimension?"

Their eyes went wide. "Yes." Setsuna said in awe. "We are warriors for love and justice, each from different places and different times. But we may have to stay here for some time, as the enemy seems to have arrived here also."

"Very well. I shall have some rooms prepared for you, and have you enrolled in school. After all, you're never too old to learn." The old man said. "All of you, except young Hotaru, just put this hat on your head."

Haruka was first, and became a Gryffindor fifth year.

Michiru was next, and was also enrolled in Gryffindor as a fifth year. Both she and Haruka had Muggle Studies next.

Chibi-Usa was third, and was placed in Hufflepuff, as a first year, whose next lesson was Herbology.

Last was Setsuna, a Ravenclaw and obviously in seventh year. Her next lesson was Ancient Runes.

"Arigatou." Haruka said as the girls left the room. "Oh, and make sure there are a few more rooms spare. A few friends of ours may be arriving tomorrow." She added as they filed out.

*~*~*

"This is freaking me out. First, Hotaru has these weird dreams, I remember her saying something to herself about them, then she meets these weird people, has another past, and says she's a warrior who needs to leave and fight!" Ron said, breathing heavily. "You know, I'm surprised I haven't passed out with all this yet."

He stopped just as somebody entered the common room.

"Harry? Where have you been?" Hermione chided.

The dark haired boy grinned. "Well, McGonagall took me off to see some boy named Wood, and I'm a Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team! And that's not all!" He said.

"Whoa! A first year on the team! This is great!" Ron laughed.

"And it's all Malfoy's fault! Wait till he finds out!" Hermione smiled. "But you said there was something else. What is it?"

Harry beckoned them closer. "Well, you know that bang before? I'd just finished talking with Wood and I ran outside. There were four people stood there, wearing these weird outfits. One had short blonde hair, and had a navy mini skirt and a yellow bow on her vest. She also had a navy scarf thing around her neck. She wore navy ankle boots as well. She called herself Sailor Uranus. Then there was one with long, wavy turquoise hair, and she had teal shoes, a teal skirt and a blue bow and scarf thing. Sailor Neptune, I think. The third had forest green hair in a bun with the rest left down. She had black knee boots, a black skirt and scarf and a garnet bow. She also had a massive silver staff with a huge garnet on top, and she said she was Sailor Pluto. The last had fluffy pink hair! It was like, in two cone things on her head, with fluffy pigtails! She was about Hotaru's size, and had a red bow on the vest, pink knee boots, and a skirt that was white, then yellow then pink! That was Chibi Moon, or something. They all wore gold tiaras too. Uranus had a yellow stone in her's, Neptune had a blue gem, Pluto had a red gem and Chibi Moon had a crescent moon." Harry paused for breath.

"And then your sister runs up to them, starts talking to them, this. . .thing attacks me, trying to strangle me and your sister says 'Saturn Crystal Power, make up!' and turns into this Sailor Saturn girl! She had a purple skirt, purple boots, purple bow on the vest and a white stone in her tiara! She also held this scythe thing!"

Ron and Hermione stared at him. Ron felt like laughing, but Hermione looked thoughtful.

"Hey, I think I have an idea! Follow me!" Harry and Ron looked at each other, then at Hermione, who was already climbing out of the portrait hole, and they ran after her.

"Hey, 'Mione, where are we going?" Ron asked after a couple of minutes.

"You'll see!" Was all she said in reply, and the group kept on going. That is, until Hermione stopped in the middle of the corridor with portraits lining the right side wall.

"Harry, Ron, come here for a minute." She said. The boys walked over to her, and looked at the pictures.

"Did any of them resemble these people?" Hermione asked Harry, who was staring at three in particular.

"That one, Hera of Uranus, Amphitrite of Neptune and Demeter of Pluto." Harry answered, pointing them out.

"Oh my Gods, look at this one!" Ron said in awe, staring at the portrait of soon-to-be Queen of Saturn, Persephone.

"Wow! She's the double of Hotaru!" Harry said. Ron nodded.

"This must be what she meant by her past. . . oh shit, my adopted sister was a princess!" Ron said, whistling. Hermione glared at him.

"Language, Weasley. Now, this is just a theory but I once read a book about a period of time hundreds of years ago, called Silver Millennium. All the planets were in harmony, and everybody knew of the great Queen Selene. She had a daughter, who she named Serenity. Serenity grew and grew, until it was time for her to take the throne. Selene died during the fifth year of her daughter's rule. Queen Serenity then had a daughter of her own, but nobody knew the father. At this time, the planets of the solar system were the strongest in the universe, and when the Queen's daughter was born, all of the soldiers of the planets, usually the royalty, swore to protect the golden haired princess, Serenity, who is this girl here," Hermione explained, pointing out the beautiful blonde girl.

"She was protected by the four princesses, the daughter of Ares, Aris of Mars the famous fire reader, the daughter of Hermes and Minerva, Athena of Mercury, one of the smartest minds in the galaxy, the daughter of Zeus, Juno of Jupiter, a very strong girl with a love of nature and cooking, and Aphrodite, daughter of Eros, and known as the most beautiful and caring soul. Those are these three." Hermione said, pointing out another four girls.

"Know, they were all protected from invaders outside our solar system by the royals of the Outer planets, Queen Hera of Uranus, another strong girl, and a musician, often mistaken for a male, Queen Amphitrite of Neptune, a graceful woman and a musician too. Then there was Lady Demeter of Pluto, daughter of Chronos. Demeter would have been the ruler of Pluto, but she was to stay and watch the time gates for eternity. And lastly there was Persephone." Hermione said. Ron and Harry leaned forward, now eager to know more.

"Persephone was found one day by a servant of the King of Saturn, Hades. The baby girl had the mark of Saturn on her forehead, and contained immense power. Hades needed an heir, so he raised the girl as his own, giving her the name Persephone. On the girl's fifteenth birthday, he gave her a glaive, and told her to be a fair and just ruler. The next day, he was found dead. There was no mark, it seemed he had just died of natural causes. Of course, everybody suspected Persephone, who had the weapon of destruction and revolution, the Silence Glaive. It was said that she was the bringer of death, had the power to kill and wanted the throne for herself." Hermione said, staring at the portraits.

"What? Hotaru wouldn't do that!" Ron shouted angrily.

"Ron, this all happened a couple of thousand years ago. But you're quite right, of course, it couldn't have been her. She loved the king like a father, and was a selfless and caring girl, plus had been at the Earth's moon that night. She had been granted the powers of a Sailor Senshi just as the king died. Of course, she wasn't crowned Queen because two weeks after the king had died, there was a rebellion on Earth. Prince Endymion of Earth had fallen in love with Princess Serenity of the Moon, and a powerful sorceress, Beryl, wanted the prince to love only her. So she sold her soul to a dark entity called Metallia, and went to the moon to destroy it. She killed the prince and the princess and every soldier except Pluto. And Queen Serenity, with her last breath, sent her two advisors, Luna and Artemis to the future, along with everybody else except herself. She sacrificed her life so that the people of the Silver Millennium could live a normal life until Beryl and Metallia returned."

"So Hotaru was resurrected?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded.

"Yes, but I don't think it was here. I think she was raised wherever those Sailors came from. She said something about fighting Pharaoh Ninety and being Mistress Nine. I think she died again and was sent to you. Of course, it's just a theory." Hermione said.

"I'd say it's a very good theory." A voice said. The three turned. Three women and a small girl stood with Hotaru.

"Chibi-Usa's right. To have figured that out, you must be a smart young lady." Setsuna said. Hermione blushed.

"Hey, you're Demeter, aren't you?" Harry asked. Setsuna suddenly looked a bit sad.

"It's a long time since anybody's called me that. But yes, I was - no, I am Demeter. But I prefer to be called Setsuna."

"Wow!" Harry said, dazed. Hotaru laughed.

"Come on, we've got Herbology next. Chibi-Usa, just stick with me."

And with that the large group departed for their next lesson.

*~*~*~*~*

Gods, that was a long chapter! (for me anyway.) So, what did you think of it? Liked it? Hated it? Either way, review please!
