Serena was walking to Trista's apartment. She had been thinking about what happened the previous week.
~Flashback~
"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!" yelled Sailor Jupiter. What the Thunder senshi didn't realize was that the man was still wet from Mercury's attack. As soon as the thunder hit the man, Sailor Moon gasped. He started yelling and his body started shaking Tears were forming in Sailor Moon's eyes as she saw this man collapse onto the floor. All the other senshi had a look of horror upon their faces.
~End Flashback~
After the battle at the mall, Serena went to her house and started sobbing heavily into her pillow. She had always hated death, even that of the enemy. Whenever she had to destroy life, she made a prayer for it to be reborn as a good spirit. Serena sighed. Many things had been happening since the man's death. For one thing, Trista was acting strangely. She was jumpy and seemed a bit nervous at times. Amara and Michelle were also acting weird. Whenever they hung out with the younger senshi, Amara seemed to be on the lookout for any danger. The last time Serena had asked about this, Michelle had said she was just being overprotective again. But the young Moon Princess didn't buy it. She was headed over to Trista's house to find out exactly what was going on. If the Time Guardian didn't tell her, then she would just find another method of getting the information. She walked up to the door, rang the doorbell and stepped back. A moment later Trista's face appeared through the crack. When she saw Serena she smiled and opened the door further. She stepped back and closed the door after Serena had entered.
"To what do I owe this visit?" asked Trista mildly.
"I think you know what's going on, Trista. I want an answer. We know for certain that there is someone new in town, and that this person doesn't want to play nice." The older senshi sighed. "I knew you would come. I'm afraid that even I don't know exactly what's going on. The future's course has a new path. Unfortunately, it is one of destruction and chaos." She massaged her temples and looked out her window. "My Princess," she stated, "if I tell you what I know, you must promise to keep quiet for now. If you talk too soon, our foe might realize that we know something about him. That he is not of the Silver Millennium, or an age-old adversary from another solar system. That is a risk that I shall not take." Serena stared at Trista. This didn't make any sense to her. Why was she being asked to keep information hidden? And how was this enemy different form the others? If their new rival was not after the Silver Crystal, then why had he shown up in Japan?
"Do you promise to keep quiet for now? You must, for the sake of Crystal Tokyo." Serena nodded. She would not break an oath to a dear friend of hers.
"This tale started about fifteen years ago. For starters, this takes place in England. Another thing is that this tragedy is about a young wizard. Maybe it'll be easier if I show you." Trista transformed and then used her staff to open the Gates of Time. Sailor Pluto offered the Princess her hand. As soon as they were in, the doorway into Trista's apartment vanished. Serena felt the wind rush past her as they were sent through time and space itself.
In front of her there was a giant bubble, in which she saw a street of houses neatly lined up. Sailor Pluto motioned for her to be quiet. Serena turned her gaze back upon the bubble. (A/N – I know, strange, but it's the best way to describe it.) She saw a cloaked man striding straight towards one of the nicer looking houses on the street. In his hand he also held a rod, like the attacker from the mall. She watched his actions closely. He threw open the door with a wave of the strange stick, or what Rini had dubbed 'wand'. She saw a man with messy black hair point his own 'wand' at the other man. He started shouting and sent a blast of light at the cloaked man. While he stumbled back, the black-haired man ran into a room where a baby and a woman were. The man shouted for the woman to escape form the house. Before he could finish his warning, the wall behind him exploded. The woman screamed and the man shouted again. She took the small child and ran up the stairs. Her husband was downstairs, holding off the other man. The silent figure raised his hand again and a familiar green light was shot at the black-haired man. He fell to the floor and did not rise. Serena gasped, as this was a similar scene to what had happened at the mall. The other man walked slowly up the stairs, obviously after the woman. When he reached the room she was hiding in, she clutched her baby closer to her. He raised his wand and she placed her child on the bed. More green lights shot out from the wand. She screamed as it hit her and she fell to the floor just as her husband had. The man moved closer to the bed and raised his hand for the completion of his task. The baby started crying even louder. When the green light was fired at the child, it did not affect him. Instead it was repelled back to the man and he started yelling in agony. Trista glanced at Serena. Her blue eyes were flowing with tears and she was pale.
"Who were they?" asked the young Princess. "The cloaked man was known as Voldemort, or the Dark Lord. He was an evil entity, and he enjoyed the pain of others. He gained followers through trickery and blackmail. The couple that was killed was known as Lily and James Potter. Their child is Harry Potter. The nickname he was given was 'The Boy Who Lived'." Serena looked at Trista. Her expression was solemn. "How did the boy survive the attack? It seemed to kill even the adults." The Time Guardian sighed. "Serena, before I explain further, you must understand that this new rival is not after the Crystal, for he does not know it exists, but after the life of this young boy and power over the world." Serena frowned. That didn't make sense. If this adversary was so powerful, how could an infant defeat him so? "Why exactly is he after the boy? Does he hold some special power?" Trista frowned and shook her head. "That is the mystery, for he is human. There is an entire different world out there, full of magic. I mean real magic, like spells and potions, not cheap party tricks. These magic-users are called witches and warlocks. Their world is so cleverly concealed from us and it is in grave peril. Voldemort had disappeared for thirteen years. About a year ago, he was revived with a new body and more powers. This is a war in their own world, and the non-magic people have no way to help oppose him. Voldemort wants to prove that he is more powerful than Harry Potter, and he intends to see that this boy is finished off by his own hands." Serena was quiet. So this Voldemort person was a warlock and after this boy. "Let me get this straight. Harry is now a teenager. When he was a kid, he thwarted Voldemort's plans. He also lives in a world of real magic and now that Voldemort's back he is after Harry. But one thing still bothers me. Why was that other warlock here?" she asked. "I believe that he was a follower of Voldemort. After all, one thing he wants is more followers aid him in his vile quest. He might also want spies; especially after word of the Sailor senshi reaches him. He *will* have other followers besides the warlock from the mall." Trista paused and glanced at her Princess. Serena was staring at the bubble. 'Poor girl. She just defeated Queen Nehelenia and now she has to deal with this.' "This is what he looks like now. These are a few scenes from his stay at Hogwarts, the Wizarding School." An image of a teenage boy appeared in the bubble. He had extremely messy black hair and green eyes. On his forehead was a thunder shaped- scar. He looked like an intelligent boy. "Would you like to get back now?" Serena looked at her nodded. Trista stepped back and opened the portal again with her staff. They both stepped through and appeared in Trista's apartment. Serena sat down on the couch and Trista followed suit. After a moment of silence, Serena spoke. "How long have you known about this?" Trista smiled.
"I just found out recently. Although I did know that the magical world existed, I never knew about Voldemort. The Time Stream is being disturbed and he is the cause. Oh and I'm telling you now, all is not what it seems."
Serena got up and walked to the door. "I won't mention this to the others yet, but when the time is right I will tell them. See you later." She walked out and softly closed the door behind her. 'Today was interesting,' she thought as she headed towards her house. 'First I learn that our new enemy is a warlock and after this Potter boy. Then she warns me that all is not what it seems. Great, just GREAT. Mina was right. We do need a break from being the superheroes. Especially since school starts next month. Wait a minute...... SCHOOL!!!!!!' She paled. She had completely forgotten about it. Going to high school meant work, more work and choosing a career for college. But Serena didn't know what she wanted to do. After all, what special career could a princess have? It wasn't like she was going to be working in an office. But how would she explain to her mother that she wouldn't be going to any college? She sighed. 'This is why I've always hated school. It's a living nightmare.' When she reached the front door, she quietly opened it and went straight to her room. Luna was sleeping on her bed. Serena walked over to her and grabbed the cat's tail. Luna screeched and jolted up, ready to attack with her claws. When she saw Serena, she glared at her charge. "Why did you have to wake me up so rudely, Serena? Honestly, I deserve better treatment, you know." Serena smiled at her 'beloved' advisor. "Luna, I just realized something about my studies," she said. "You, thinking about school? Well, that's a first," stated Luna. "Very funny. If I'm going to be the queen of Crystal Tokyo, then what will I do in the meantime? I can't exactly tell my family that I have to rule over this world with Darien. They'd never believe me, first off. And they would think I was crazy. So what job will I have until then?" Luna thought about what Serena had just said and frowned. "What exactly would be a fitting job for you?" she asked. Serena thought of some suitable careers and came up with nothing. Maybe being a teacher was good, but she never was good at school. She sighed. 'At least I have some more time to think about this.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena woke up the next day late again. The senshi were having another meeting at Rei's temple. As soon as she got there, Rei started yelling at Serena again for being late. The others sighed, for the two girls' were constantly arguing.
"You're such a moron Serena! Why don't you try being on time for once?" Rei shouted.
"Well, being a sailor scout and trying to pass high school are very hard things to do!" said Serena loudly.
"At least I can actually pass school, unlike someone!" retorted the priestess. (*Cough* "Serena" *cough*) The said girl glared at her. "Guys, cut it out. Rei, stop yelling at her, and Sere, stop arguing. We came here to try and put together what we know about the cloaked man and Rei's visions. So stop fighting," said Mina. "All right, I've made a list of anything that could be related to the cloaked man," said Ami. "First off, there's Rei's vision was just before the attack at the mall. Personally, I don't think it's just a coincidence. They've got to be related somehow. We only have to figure out how." "We can figure this out later. Right now I've got a date with Chris. We're going to see a movie. Bye friends!" Mina tried to run out before anyone could stop her, but Lita (being ever so fast) caught her by the arm and dragged her across the room next to Serena. "Mina's right. We don't have much to go on, so we might as well wait until we have more information. I'm going home. See ya." All the girls stared at their leader's retreating form. "She's probably still upset about the man's death.....'
