Hey everyone!
I'm sorry I'm late in uploading. It took me awhile to finish this chapter. Usually I write my stories during Pre-Calc., but my schedule has changed so I no longer have that class. So it's going to take longer for me to get chapters out.
Um, here are the votes so far:
Serenity & Severus: 1
Serenity & Draco: 2
Rei & Harry: 1
Ami & Lee: 1
Makoto & Wood: 1
Setsuna & Severus: 1
Hotaru & Fred: 1
Minako & Blaize: 1 (I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that one. If they win I'll try anyways.)
Keep voting!
I would like to thank sirius, kachie, eswerdna87, and Celestial Slytherin- Black for reviewing.
Now for the chapter!
Chapter 6
In the dark forest bats scattered as a spot in a clearing flashed red, leaving behind two figures, one of which was shrunk to the size of a horse. The feminine figure stood still for a minute, reaching out mentally for the wayward guardian of the black crystal, before walking in a seeming random direction, leaving the other figure to explore the forest. Twenty minutes passed before she exited the forest and viewed the castle. The girl paused, wondering if it would be better to wait until morning, but decided to go in anyways. She stepped into the castle and paused once again, looking around, this time wondering if she should go to the lost guardian or to the one in charge of the school. Her question was answered for her as Dumbledore walked toward her. "Hello miss. I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of this school. May I assist you?"
The girl looked at him for a moment before answering him. "I'm looking for my friend. I believe she's here. She has short silver hair with black highlights and blue eyes."
"Yes, your friend is here. I take it you're from her dimension?"
"Yeah, I'm the guardian of the red crystal. Four others should be coming; The guardians of the yellow crystal, the green crystal, the blue crystal, and the purple crystal."
"I see. I'll try to be ready for them. Come with me for now."
The girl nodded and followed Dumbledore to a room near his office. "What is your name and your friends' names?"
"I don't know. We never had names other than our titles."
"Well, your friend here now goes by Serenity Luna Black. You can see her tomorrow. Until then you can be sorted into a house and you may sleep in this spare room."
"Alright. Um, what will be my name? "
"How about Rei Rub? Hino?"
"Hmm, I like it. Thank you Dumbledore."
Rei was sorted into to Slytherin and Dumbledore explained everything about the school to Rei. Both then went to bed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In the high sky, within the broken walls of an ancient temple surrounded by mist, an emerald crystal shatter, uncovering a tall feminine figure. She reached up and tightened her auburn ponytail, her emerald eyes filling with confusion as she looked around, trying to figure out why she was awakened. She realized, some moments later, that two of her fellow guardians were in a completely different dimension and she looked around once more before disappearing in a flash of forest green.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When morning came at Hogwarts Rei arose early and stood by the doors to the Great Hall, eager to see her friend again. Serenity walked in the entrance hall, blushing at something Draco had said. Rei glared at the blond boy before she yelled to Serenity. "Serenity!"
Rei lightly jogged to Serenity as the previously mentioned girl turned to the person who called her name. "Um, do I know you? You look familiar."
"My name is Rei Rub? Hino and we were friends before we were sealed within the crystals."
Serenity looked happy, but also a little upset. "I'm glad you're here, but I don't remember much."
Rei hugged Serenity and reassured her. "Don't worry Sere. Once the others come, we'll be able to separate you and the giga and once you're separated, your memories will return."
"Thanks Rei."
The three walked into the Great Hall, sat down, and dug into their breakfast.
In the entrance hall Harry, Ron, and Hermione are talking to Dumbledore. "Prof. Dumbledore?"
"Yes, Miss Granger?"
"We were wondering, is Serenity dangerous? Unconsciously, that is."
"No, she is a guardian, a protector. Although her powers are strong and partially offensive she doesn't have the heart to attack anyone without a very good reason."
"Thank you Prof. Dumbledore."
"Why don't you three sit with her? She could use some more friends."
The three looked uncertain, but nodded 'okay'. They walked into the Great Hall, spotted Serenity at the Slytherin table, and hesitatingly walked to the table, sitting beside Serenity. "Potter, Granger, Weasley, what are you doing here?!"
The three Gryffindor students ignored the slytherin student, looking at Serenity. "Hi, I'm Hermione Granger, and these two are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter."
"Hello, I'm Serenity Black."
"Hi, I'm Rei Hino, a friend of Serenity's from her dimension. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet the both of you. How do you like it here so far?"
"I love it! I want to learn about everything! It's all so interesting; magic, potions, and dragons!'
"It's okay so far. I just came last night though."
"What do you think of the classes Serenity?"
"Right now, they're all very easy. By next week, hopefully, I'll be taking every class."
For two minutes the trio stared at her in shock. "Every.class?"
Serenity nodded her head. "Yep."
The trio blinked a few times and then looked at Hermione. "Looks like you have competition 'mione."
Hermione looked at Ron angrily as Serenity, Rei, and Harry watched in curiosity, Draco in distaste. "We're not competing Ron! Unlike you, we have an interest in our education and future."
"Bloody hell, Hermione! You don't need to get upset."
"Humph."
They ate in silence for the rest of breakfast, Draco and Severus glaring at Harry, Ron, and Hermione. When Breakfast was over they headed towards their first class of the day; transfiguration.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
With a forest green flash, by the green giga, the tall figure reappeared. She held out her hand and an emerald crystal appeared. She shrunk and healed the giga before taking it with her to the dimension where the two missing guardians are.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day went by quickly for Serenity and Rei, the classes were easy for them and Dumbledore announced who Rei was at dinner. After Dinner, Severus stopped the both of them. "You two are coming with me to Diagon Ally. Miss Hino, you need to get your supplies (She borrowed Serenity's for the day.), and Sere, you can get a pet."
"A pet? Really?!"
Severus nods his head and leads them to his office. He picked up a pouch, took some powder out of it, and threw the powder in the fire place. The fire became taller and turned green. "Say Diagon Ally and step in."
Rei stepped in front of the fire, looking at it doubtfully, said, "Diagon Ally," and stepped in, disappearing. The fire became normal again until Severus threw more powder into it. Serenity went threw and he followed seconds later. "We're at the Leaky Cauldron in London, follow me."
Severus led them to the ally way behind the inn and tapped a brick on the wall with his wand. The bricks moved to create an archway and the three stepped into Diagon Ally. "You know where the pet shop is?"
"Yup."
"You go ahead then, Sere. We'll meet you back at the inn in two hours."
"Okay Sev."
Serenity headed to the Magical Menagerie while Severus took Rei to Gringotts. Serenity walked into the store and was greeted by many 'hoots' and 'meows.' She wanted an unusual pet so she walked past the owls, cats, toads, and rats and looked near the back of the store. She looked around at the bats, snakes, and rare animals, but none of them caught her eye, until she saw a small albino bat hanging upside down, away from the other bats. She carefully stroked its chest and took it off of the thin iron bar it was hanging from. She grabbed some necessary items for her new pet as well as some treats before taking everything to the cashier and paying for them. She let the bat roam around on her robe* and carried the bag of items in her left hand. She walked out of the Magical Menagerie and window shopped for an hour before heading back to the Leaky Cauldron.
Serenity found a table that would be visible to people walking into the inn from Diagon Ally and laced her bags beside her. Her pet bat, Nozomi**, had found a comfortable spot on Serenity's chest between her robe and her shirt, which was also comfortable for Serenity. While waiting for he friends, Serenity ordered hot chocolate and gave Nozomi a treat. Some minutes later Severus came in with Rei behind him, Rei laden with bags and Serenity just finishing her hot chocolate. Severus saw the three bags beside Serenity and raised an eyebrow. "I thought that you were only getting a pet."
"I was, but I remembered that I will need the stuff for the other classes that I'll be taking."
"Where's your pet Sere?"
"Her name's Nozomi," Serenity said as she took the little white bat out from under her robe.
"An albino bat?"
"Yep! Everyone else has owls and cats and I wanted something different. So I looked in the back of the store and Nozomi caught my eye. I think I'll carry her everywhere; she likes to be under my robes."
Serenity let Nozomi crawl back into her spot and stands up, picking up her bags. "What pet did you get Rei?"
Rei showed her the cage where her pet was held. "A fox. I named him Kaji***."
"Let's go girls."
They left the same way they came. When they were back in Severus' office Rei and Serenity left, going to their common room, and Severus stayed, grading yesterdays test. The two girls walked down the cold dungeon halls until they reached a portrait of a dark knight. Serenity said the password and the two of them walked in when the portrait allowed them passage. "You're with me in my room behind the painting of the thestral. The password is Kuro Tsuki****."
They entered the room and put their stuff away, Serenity also set up a place for Nozomi to hang from. They prepared for bed and Serenity let a few insects she bought loose for Nozomi to eat during the night. "'Night Rei."
"Goodnight Sere."
*I saw this show on animal planet about a woman who kept bats as pets and she let the bat crawl on her shirt and crawl under it. I don't know how to take care of bats so I may get a few things wrong. Sorry!
**Nozomi means 'hope' in Jap.
***Kaij means 'blaze'
****Kuro means 'black' and Tsuki, as you may know already, means 'moon'
