Title: Far Longer Than Forever

Disclaimer: I do not own anything! Nothing in this story is mine! Except for the plot and some new characters like my bestest friend K'Tanaqui! (except I don't own the name)

History: It is now Harry Potter's 7th year of Hogwarts. The Dark Lord has risen, but is still in hiding raising power and an army. The Silver Millennium is still alive, but in another parallel dimension, sort of. (very hard to explain, but pretend that it exists on another plane and Voldemort wants to conquer it and bring it to his world, so when Serenity does flee to Earth, she goes to his world; the two worlds collide in a way) Prince Darien does exist, but doesn't play any role in this story.

Summary: In the heart of the Silver Millennium, Voldemort attacks the Moon Kingdom. Forced to flee to Earth, Princess Serenity finds herself in the middle of Hogwarts. Under a disguise as a transfer student from America, she becomes a 7th year student and meets up with the famous Harry Potter and his two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. The power of Voldemort is growing and Serenity must find a way to eliminate him once and for all, with a little help from Harry of course.

Chapter 2: The Wonderful World of Hogwarts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darkness surrounded Serena. Her white dress was the only light in the dark. There was no sound save the growling of K'Tanaqui beside her. She glanced around, trying to see if there was anything there.

Serena shook, startled by something. She looked up above her and seemed to listen to something.

"Serena!" the voice called to her in her mind.

"Who are you?" Serena called back. No answer was given. She looked around. A bright light shone at the corner of her vision. She turned towards it. "Is that the way out, K'Tanaqui?"

The light increased its illumination and pulled Serena and the tiger cub towards it. It felt warm, like the sun's rays. Serena softly smiled as it caressed her body. Then, everything blurred together into a mesh of color and she was brought back to reality.

"Where am I?" Serena groaned as she blinked her eyes in the harsh light of the real world.

"London, England in a secret wizard school known as Hogwarts, niece," a tall white haired man beamed down at Serena. She shrieked in surprise and toppled off the silk cot that was floating in mid air.

"What? Who? Where? Why? How?" Serena cried. K'Tanaqui mewed on the floor, staring at her in concern. The room she was in was large and oval. Books of all sorts of colors, sizes and subjects crowded the bookshelf walls. A globe stood by a small oval window. A few chairs and a table congregated around a red plush carpet.

"It's okay, Serena," the man said as he bent down to help Serena up. She looked thoughtfully at him.

"You look vaguely familiar. Do I know you?"

"Of course! I'm your uncle-in-law! Albus Dumbledore is the name."

"Uh, okay. I think I remember you, but weren't you being the Headmaster of something." Serena scratched her head.

"I am the Headmaster of the wizard school, Hogwarts. This is my private office."

:: It smells good. :: K'Tanaqui interrupted in a tiny voice.

"It does smell like old books and musty pages," Serena laughed as she looked around. Dumbledore frowned at her.

"Were you conversing with that cub next to you?" He asked. Serena nodded.

"Do not all people talk to animals?" Serena inquired.

"Dear me, no. It's quite extraordinary, but I think that'll be fine with the other students. And, I felt what happened on the Moon. I'm so terribly sorry."

"The Moon? What happened?"

"You don't remember?"

"All I remember is a kingdom and K'Tanaqui and, and a school of some sort that I am to stay at. But I remember my name and all that, but why can't I remember anything else?"

"Your memory has been modified. It'll return in a while, and until then, you shall become a student here."

"Do I have to study figures? I am dreadfully bad at them."

"No, you'll be studying magic. You look to be about 17, so I will put you in with the 7th years. Ah, interesting. You'll be with young Mister Harry Potter."

"Who's he?"

"The Boy Who Lived. The feast of Halloween is about to start, so why don't we go down to the hall and eat? You'll be put into a house and then settled in."

"Food! That is one thing I love most!"

:: Don't forget me! Do you think they'll have lamb? That's my favorite. :: K'Tanaqui asked pleadingly. Suddenly, Serena didn't want to go to the feast.

"Uncle, I don't think I want to go to the feast tonight. I'm all of a sudden very tired. May I just go to bed?" Serena asked. K'Tanaqui whined at the thought of no food, but didn't cross his mistress. Dumbledore nodded.

"You have not been sorted, so, you shall sleep in one of the guest bedrooms tonight." He waved his hand in front of one of the walls and it disappeared to become a solid wall and door. Serena opened the door to find a small room with a mirror, bed, and bureau in it. A large window let you see out onto the greenhouse.

"Pretty."

:: I call the bed! :: K'Tanaqui jumped up onto the bed.

"No way! I'm bigger than you!" Serena cried. She jumped onto the bed, too.

"Robes and other items you will need here are in the closet. I shall call upon you tomorrow so you may be sorted." Dumbledore hugged her and walked out of the room.

:: Jump! Jump! :: K'Tanaqui said while he jumped on the bed, up and down.

:: I'm tired, aren't you? :: Serena yawned.

:: Yeah, let's go to bed. Look, the sun went down and the Moon is full. ::

:: It's so relaxing. :: Serena went to the window. It was almost full. Three days and it would shine completely. The Moonlight tickled Serena wherever it touched her. She smiled and stepped into it fully. The light turned her hair silver and her eyes green. She wore her princess dress – long, white dress with gold etchings. Beautiful transparent wings glittered from her back.

:: Serena! :: K'Tanaqui shouted. Serena whirled around. Her image shattered and the normal Serena looked at the tiger cub.

:: What? ::

:: Nothing. ::

:: Sure. :: Serena walked back towards the window and stared at the Moon for a while.

:: It only happens for a moment, but what about on the full Moon? I can't let her out into the Moonlight in front of anyone then or they'll find out who she is and who knows who here are Voldemort's followers. :: K'Tanaqui fell asleep in his thoughtful thoughts. Serena soon joined him.

AN: Sorry for the abrupt shortness of this chapter. More of an interlude it is. Well, Serena is going to be paired with . . . DRACO MALFOY! This is going to be fun. (Sorry again if it's cheesy.) But, next chapter will be better.
