With Halloween only a week away the students were excited about the annual Halloween Dance. Costria, Mayvar, Jhavi, Colana, Elaina and Usagi were in the library finishing homework. Malfoy was watching them from behind a bookshelf. : I can do this. : He thought to himself. He swaggered up to them. Looking down his nose at them he said, " May I speak with you, Usagi, for a moment?" Mayvar was about to say something but Usagi quelled him with a glance. She stood up and they retreated around the bookshelf.
"Would you like to go to the Halloween Dance with me?" he asked, hopefully. Usagi thought about it for a moment. Mayvar was going with Costria and she didn't like anyone enough to want to go with them. "Okay." She replied. Malfoy nearly fell over but managed to keep his normal arrogant expression on his. "Great. I will meet you at the doors of the Great Hall." Malfoy said before walking off. Usagi rolled her eyes and headed back to the table. Mayvar looked at her questioningly but she glared at him. She quickly gathered up her books and said to them, " Tomorrow we will practice in an empty room. We can't afford to get out of shape." Usagi said before stalking out of the library. : Now why did I ever agree to go with Malfoy to the dance? : Usagi thought to herself. Deep in thought Usagi didn't notice Professor Snape coming down the stairs. Professor Snape didn't seem to notice her either and they both collided with each other. Usagi's books and papers flew everywhere and they both flew back. "Oww." Professor Snape groaned. Usagi, looking over at whom she had hit blushed. She carefully got up and walked over to him. Professor Snape glared at who had knocked him over. He hoped it was Potter so that he could yell at him and take points away from Gryffindor. However, when he looked up he took a deep breath. "Professor, I am so sorry." Usagi apologized to him. He stood up and dusted himself off before looking at her. "Never mind Tsukino. Just watch where you are going next time." He ordered. Ignoring her and the books on the floor he stalked off. Usagi watched him walk off and taking a deep breath she picked up her books and papers, before heading off to the common room.
Severus Snape reached his office and sank into his chair. Groaning he placed his head in his hands. : Gods above how did she do this to him? : he wondered. She had had this effect on him ever since the day she got here. "I don't understand how she can do this to me." He complained to himself. She was only a student and he was a professor! "Besides she probably doesn't even feel anything but hatred toward me anyways." Severus said to himself. He resolved to put her from his mind but his hands were still shaking.
Usagi slowly approached the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Password." The portrait asked. "Butter beer." Usagi said dully. She stepped through the portal and entered the common room. She looked around and decided that there were to many people around to seek comfort from the fire. Slowly, she headed up the stairs to the girls dormitory. Plopping down in the window seat she stared out at the moon which was only half full. : Why am I so attracted to the moon when the sun is closest to Shiko. : Usagi thought in a desperate attempt to get a certain man off her mind. "Because you belong to me for now and forever." A voice on the wind said as it blew through the open window. Usagi, battle instincts on high, sat up and looked around. "Who said that?" she asked warily. "I did. I am the moon and you are descended from me." The voice whispered eerily. Usagi was starting to get freaked out looked around warily. : I'm going crazy. : Usagi thought to herself. "Don't worry daughter mine, you aren't going crazy. Perhaps you should ask your defense against the dark arts teacher. I am sure she can answer your questions. If not you will find out in due time." The eerie voice said before dying off. Abruptly Usagi stood up and walked out of the dormitory. She entered the common room just as Mayvar and Colana entered it. Mayvar made as if to stop her, but she gave him one of her infamous glares. He shrank back as though burned. Colana glanced at him sympathetically. To be treated to one of the ilyena's glares was an unforgettable experience.
Harry, Ron and Hermione had watched this and wondered. "Why do you think Mayvar defers to her in things?" Ron asked quietly. "I have absolutely no idea." Harry replied. Hermione however looked thoughtful but didn't say anything.
Usagi stalked down the stairs and headed toward Professor Meioh's office. : I am going to settle this nonsense once and for all. : She thought irritably to herself. Reaching the door of the DADA professor's office she hesitated before knocking. "Come in." a voice called out. Usagi opened the door and swept in as though she belonged there. She hesitated, however, when she saw that the other new professors were there as well as the five other new students. "Is there anything I can help you with Usagi?" Setsuna asked a mysterious smile on her face. Usagi paused and made up her mind. "Oh, uh it can wait until you're not busy, Professor." Usagi said and backed out the door just as regally as she had entered.
"So that's the new Usagi, huh?" Michiru asked rhetorically. "She looks every inch the Princess." Hotaru observed quietly. "She sure does." Rei said surprised. "Where exactly was she reborn that she gained the qualities of the Princess?" Minako asked surprised. "Did you also see the way she was perfectly balanced and how confident she looked?" Makoto said. "No kidding. She is practically nothing like the Usagi Tsukino that we knew." Ami stated. "I see she has been regaining her memories as well." Setsuna stated. "I know. Today I asked her if she had been to Tokyo and she said yes. Then she looked all confused as if wondering why she said that." Makoto spoke up, "also the Looking Back potion showed a part of her life when we fought Chaos." Setsuna grinned to herself and knew she would see the Princess later.
Growling to herself Usagi made her way back up the stairs feeling somehow cheated. Entering the common room she stalked up to the dormitory to take a shower.
As she let the hot water pound her bare skin Usagi thought to herself. : The goddess said I would find family here but I haven't found any yet. : Sighing to herself she climbed out and got dressed. Tomorrow she would go talk to Professor Dumbledore. She got into bed and quickly fell into a deep and dreamless sleep. Outside the window the half moon shined brightly.
A/n: There is that chapter finished. Not bad for having a crap load of homework. Please review! Next chapter we will find out who Usagi's brother is and some of her past. (Everyone knows what that is though.)
