HERE IS CHAPTER TWO! JUST TOO LET PEOPLE KNOW... THIS WILL BE A SERENITY/REMUS! Thanks to all my reviewers! You made my day!
Chapter 2: Silver Hair
Stepping out of the portal, Setsuna looked at Serenity. She had sat down against one of the doors and had a goofy smile on her face. "Setsuna! I can't believe it! I get to go home now! When can I see them all again?"
Setsuna chuckled at her charges happiness. "Not for a while Hime-chan. But do not fret, you will see them soon."
Serenity pouted for a moment. "I'm hungry."
Shaking her head the Time Guardian pulled out a few apples from her sub space pocket. Throwing them to the hungry princess, expecting them to hit her on the head, she was surprised when the petite girl caught them. Oblivious to the gaping woman above her, Serenity took a big bite and chomped away at her apples. Soon they were gone.
Shaking herself out of astonishment, Setsuna pulled the queen of the stars up and they chatted happily as they walked through a door with crossed wands on it.
Walking down Diagon Ally was a group of five young adults. Well that's what they looked like, when you got to know them you found out that they acted so far from like adults that they should have been first years.
Lily got tired and stopped listening to the guys, who were talking about the pranks they should pull that year, 'It is the last one we will have there you know!' was what Sirius had told her why they wanted to make it end 'in a bang'. She hoped that they didn't really mean it. Clearing her throat, she looked over at Remus. "You know that McGonagall won't be too happy if you blew the school up."
"You are far too right Ms. Evans. If that happened, I doubt that you five would be graduating this year."
Lily jumped, startled and let out a frightened "AH!" Calming down, she turned to face the strict professor. "Um... Hola Prof. M.! What's hanging?"
The transfiguration teacher looked at one of her star students over her glasses. "I think my dear that you have been in the presence of a Mr. Sirius Black for too long. He is rubbing off on you. Well good day to you all. And Mr. Black, those fireworks only disappear after use if they are new. If they expire, they don't disappear after use."
The five watched their normally straight backed professor with something akin to admiration in their eyes. Finally, Peter chose to break the silence, "What was that?"
The other shook their heads, "Don't know Pete, your guess is as good as mine."
Sirius looked up thoughtfully. "Does this mean that she will let me pull my pranks now?"
Lily shook her head exasperated. "No Sirius, I'm sorry to say that she will not agree to us continuing our pranks. Even though they are bloody brilliant."
James looked at Lily. "You know, she's right. You have been hanging with Sirius way too much."
Sirius and Lily exchanged glances, "What is that supposed to mean?"
James shook his head. "Nothing. Don't worry about it."
Lily stuck her nose up in the air in a mock pout. "Fine Mr. Potter, I can tell when I'm not needed. I will go back to my daydreaming now." Tuning out the boys conversation again, she looked around at the people littering the street like garbage in New York City. A movement off to her side caught her attention. Looking closer, she stifled a gasp. Long, silver hair tied up odangos, pale skin, petite body, heart shaped face, stunning silver eyes that seemed so different, yet so familiar... Mentally slapping herself, Lily looked for the girl again. Nothing. Sighing, she turned back to the conversation. She laughed when she heard. "Quidditch." 'It's good to know that some things never change, I just can't stop hoping that something will though... Stop it Lily, the past is the past. That's all there is too it. Nothing can change it. She's gone. Your best friend is... gone.'
Setsuna and Serenity had been in the Wizarding world for about two months. They had gone to Diagon Ally and gotten all of the things that Serenity would need, including an owl and a cat, which she named Breeze and Spark. They had also gotten her wand...
*~* Flashback *~*
They were in the store, and Ollivander stood and watched her. "Interesting... I made four particulare wands, two of the phoenix and two of the unicorn... it seems that one of the unicorn has chosen you. The only remaining one is the second phoenix... very interesting."
*~* End Flashback *~*
It was a good wand. Holly, 11 1/2", unicorn hair, good with defence and attack.
Setsuna had caught Serenity up in all of her classes. And as an extra bonus... was helping her become an animagi!
*~*
They had two weeks left and Serenity was happy, and very worried about how they would all react to her being there again. She flounced up the stairs after breakfast and saw a box in the middle of the room. 'Might as well finish unpacking.' Being Serenity she had put it off till the last moment. Sitting on the floor Serenity opened the box and looked inside. It was full of... "Foam chips! Well, this is going to be fun to find everything."
She dug thought the huge box and found a pile of shoe boxes. "Weird." She put them to the side and dug in again. Another pile of shoe boxes and this time, two door mini-storage. Pushing the now foam chip filled box to the side of the door; she went and piled the shoe boxes up. Seven boxes ranging in colour.
Too happy to notice anything, she pulled open the first one. A pale blue and aqua blue exterior and an azure inside. The box had something in it. Serenity recognised it right away. It was Ami's favourite book. Alice in Wonderland. Opening the front cover she read. "This book belongs to: Ami. Tears filled Serenity's eyes. Ami, her first senshi friend. Placing the book on her bed carefully she eyed the next box. Emerald and forest green. Mako-chan. Inside was the first journal Makoto had written after meeting Usagi, now Serenity. Tears spilling out of her eyes, she opened box after box. Mianko's red bow. Michiru's violin music that she had written, one of Mamoru's roses, preserved in ice to last forever, Haruka's first racing trophy and finally, Rei's box. Opening it with blurred vision, she found, folded up, a microphone and some of the music that Rei had written for the talent show when they were fourteen. Placing each of the valuable objects on the bed with great care, she looked to the last thing. The mini- storage.
Wiping her eyes, she opened the doors to the storage. Inside was a leather bound book. Very thick and filled right up it was full of pictures. Pictures ranging from the first time they met to a few days before Chaos. 'Setsuna must have taken them.' Wiping her eyes one last time, she looked up; any person passing would have thought that she was praying.
"Thank you my friends."
"Sirius Black! You are a seventh year are you not? If so, why are you throwing food at the younger children as they walk by? That is highly unhelpful young man! Why can't you be more like Miss Evans or Mr. Potter? They are the Head Students and had to work hard for that title! Do you hear me Mr. Black?"
Sirius nodded his head and had to hide the snicker that was rapidly bubbling at his lips.
James hearing his name, tried to hide his head when he heard Professor Desdemona* telling Sirius to be more like him.
Lily just shook her head in disbelief; did the professor actually believe that James worked?
Professor McGonagall walked into the room, the scared looking first years behind her. Another cloaked figure stood in the shadows behind the staff table, but only a select few saw and noticed it.
The first years were all sorted, the older one waiting patiently, or not so patiently, for the food to come out. Finally, Professor Dumbledore stood.
"Students! Welcome back to Hogwarts! Before we eat, there is one more thing that I would like to do. This year, we have an exchange student. She is in seventh year, and will be treated with the respect any of you shall get? Understand?" Here, he waited for their nods. Taking this as a cue to continue, he went on. Turning to the shadows, he and every other student and teacher watched. A small cloaked figure walked out.
Sirius and Lily felt something from this person. She was awfully familiar. They knew her from somewhere... but they couldn't pin it down to where.
A slim, pale hand came up and as if in slow motion, pulled the hood of the cloak off of her head. Full length silver hair, shiny, smooth and velvet looking fluttered down her body, still covered in the cloak. Her head lifted up and her eyes, the purest of silver caught a pair of midnight black ones.
Sirius felt a gasp escape his lips. The hair, so different, yet exactly the same. Still in the odangos, but a rich silver. Her head lifted and he felt no doubt in his mind that it was her. His baby sister. Serenity. He felt her eyes, burning into his soul. The link, once forgotten, that was forged between the twins, remerged and he could feel the pain she had been through, the longing to be accepted by him, everyone, again, the happiness at seeing him and Lily again. All the emotions flooded through him. He didn't notice when Dumbledore said her name, when she sat on the stool, or when the hat called out "Gryffindor!" All he knew was that she was back. She walked slowly towards him, but instead of happiness he thought that he would be feeling, he felt angry. Why had she left? Why didn't she come back? The pent up emotion was too great, so he ran. Out of the hall, through the common room, up the stairs and onto his bed.
Lily saw the hand pull back the hood and then saw her face. The face of a girl. The girl who was her best friend. Happiness flooded through her. Serenity was back! But then she saw Sirius, he had every emotion possible on his face and she wasn't sure what he was going to do. Serenity was sorted into Gryffindor and Lily was ecstatic! Her best friend was back from the supposed dead and now would not only share the school with her, but a dorm room as well! Just then Lily noticed Sirius, he had jumped up from his chair and ran out the door; leaving a pair of confused boys, a happy boy and ecstatic girl and a heartbroken twin all in his wake.
(*) Desdemona. It means "Devil child" in Greek. A female name and I thought that it would suit the potions prof! :D
Oh no! Sirius ran away! Now Serenity's upset and he is a jumble of emotions! What will happen now? Lily is happy and James is happy! Remus didn't know her when she was a kid, so he doesn't get an opinion and Peter is well... Peter. The stupid cow that killed Lily and James. But what will happen to Sirius? And will he forgive her?
(Here is a sneak peak of the next chapter!)
"If you care so much why did you leave?"
"I'm sorry alright? Is it all better now? I'm sorry!"
"You don't know what I've been through Sirius Black, nor will you ever."
"You still have the necklace!"
"Hey James? Thanks."
"Malfoy you ass! Come back here now!"
"You see Sere... I'm... well... I'm a werewolf."
"Full moon tonight. Poor guy."
"James, guess what I just did!"
"But Sere's down there with him!"
Hope you like the chapter! Enjoy!
