Cold Attraction
Chapter 2
New Place
HP dimension (Harry's 7th year)
"Harry, that was bloody brilliant!"
Heads began to turn swiftly as the sound of laughter filled a section of a long, oak table. Ron Weasley sat there laughing, as a girl shook her head in disgust.
"Why do men always find amusement in the most ANNOYING things?" she stated, emphasizing on the "annoying". And, although she looked irritated, a small smile formed on her lips, making her eyes light up a bit.
"Ah, come on Hermione! Even you have to say that what Harry did was priceless! The look on Malfoy's face was hilarious! If you didn't enjoy that, I'm not sure if you're sane or not," Ron exclaimed, making the female blush at the saying of 'not sure if you're sane or not'. What made her blush even more was the slap on the back, given by two red head twins.
"Yeah, 'Mione! Lighten up! Harry did a good job of making Malfoy's chest sprout things we men like to look at m-ow!" one of the boys, Fred, started, but got slapped upon the head for a comment he said. Continuing, he laughed. "The pride we are experiencing for our pupil is great!" The other twin, George, nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Malfoy can finally be the woman he always has been!"
This comment rose roaring laughter from the entire table, bringing about joy from every person. All except one.
A boy, with messy midnight hair, faked every emotion he was showing to others, including happiness. Jade green eyes held nothing but sadness, yet no one noticed, and an obvious lightening shaped scar ran across his forehead.
"Thanks guys, but it was nothing! Easy!"
A lie.
"I was laughing so hard afterward."
Another fib.
"I bet he can hardly eat!"
Well, that was true.
No one could see the cheerless eyes clearly through the phony atmosphere radiating from him, with the exception of two men at a higher table in the front. Sad eyes watched the boy from a safe distance, one shaking his head slowly, another closing his eyes unhappily.
"Dumbledore, this has gone far enough. If Harry keeps putting up this charade, he could be seriously injured," one of the men stated, pushing back his long, auburn hair behind his shoulder. The one called Dumbledore nodded his head, his silvery eyes downcast.
"I know this also, Lupin. I was hoping for it to go away, but it now seems unlikely. The poor boy's wound if far too great for any sort of therapy now. A miracle is the only thing to help him," the older man said sorrowfully, sighing. Lupin's eyes narrowed.
"Miracles. Miracles are ####."
Forbidden Forest
"Come'n, Fang! Get a move on! We've got t ge' back to Hogwarts. Th feast as already started," a voice exclaimed in a loud voice, motioning towards a large dog to hurry. Barking happily, the animal trotted after the person, now within sight.
A half-giant, named Hagrid, walked giddily along a path, smiling at the thought that the school year was about to begin. Heaving a sack over his shoulder, the large man laughed.
"Ah, Fang! A'other school year is abou to begin, an I coul't be happier!" he barked cheerfully, causing his pet beside him to woof gleefully. Hagrid's smile grew larger as the castle loomed closer.
"I can al'eady taste that roast beef and pumpkin-......Oh My God."
His hand shook rapidly, triggering the bag to fall to the ground, the items inside declining along with it. With his feet frozen to the spot he was standing at, he stared in shock at what he saw.
A girl, no more than 17, lay spread out on the ground, her long, golden hair covering her body in a protective manner. A short, multi-colored skirt rested pitifully on her legs, a large gash from the beginning to end of one leg staining the silky material. Short breathes were all that was heard from her soft pink lips, each one making her pale skin jump in pain.
That was all that needed to be seen before Hagrid ran to the school, the girl in his arms.
Dream Sequence (Usagi's POV)
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I yelled, my voice echoing through the dark abyss. Scanning through the endless room of darkness, I shivered. This reminded me of something I wanted to forget entirely.
The Galaxy Cauldron.
"Where is this place?" I whispered, my fear very obvious. Looking around, all I could see was black. That is, until a bright light filled the room and my eyes widened at what I saw.
"Dear child..."
So familiar.
"What have you done to yourself?"
Who is she?
"My daughter..."
I gasped.
"Mother?"
The queen smiled, her eyes showing compassion and love, only for me. But, when I reached out to touch her, I pulled away hastily, shocked at the sudden pain slithering up my arm. Looking up at my mother, my confused eyes gazed into hers, ones of sorrow penetrating my heart.
"Serenity...I have watched you for such a long time. Now, even though I stand before you, close enough to touch, I still do not understand the ache in your eyes. It seems I will never be able to either," she stated in sorrow. She attempted to stroke my cheek, but pulled back slowly, shaking her head. She knew she could never come into contact with me.
"My darling daughter, I wish this never had to happen. I tried to keep you happy, with all my heart. Unfortunately, Fate and Destiny thought otherwise," she whispered. "But, what really breaks my heart is what has become of you. What happened to my only child, who brought cheer into mine and others' lives? What happened to her?!"
I could only be silent as the forgotten royalty wept.
Once the queen had composed herself again, she looked into my eyes, and stated something that would haunt me for the rest of my days.
"You must find the light again, Serenity, and bring it back to your heart. Otherwise, your destiny may be filled with only sadness. And, if you stay this way...you may be immortal for eternity."
End of dream sequence (end of Usagi's POV)
Usagi's eyes snapped open, her body bolting from its resting position. Grimacing at the pain being developed, she slowly made her way towards the edge of the bed. Once her feet came into contact with the cold tile, the princess jumped back, shocked by how chilly it was.
"W...where?" she questioned the darkness, while carefully lighting a candle. The flame flickered for a moment, and then again becoming bright, revealing frightened blue eyes as she scanned unknown room, reeking in magic.
Rows of white beds were positioned along the walls, a candle situated by each. The moon's glow shone vividly, enveloping the bleak room in a brilliant light. Smiling slightly, Usagi turned towards the door, a rich mahogany wood asking her to go through it. Unable to control her curiosity, she bid to its will, and walked tediously, holding onto the wall for support.
"Where am I?"
Paintings full of sleeping figures.
"How is all this possible?"
Moving staircases.
"What are these things?"
Ghosts flying sleepily through the air.
"How did I get here?"
Voices...
Usagi's eyes narrowed at the sound of the murmurs echoing through the hallways. 'So, this place isn't deserted after all,' she thought. Moments after thinking this, her blue orbs of emotion turned silver, and there stood Cosmos.
Making no sound as she stepped on the floor, the lone senshi made her way towards the noise, checking every crevice for any sudden attacks. In all her previous experiences, letting your guard down meant certain death. She learned the hard way.
The voices were getting louder, and soon, she could distinguish what the words meant. Still not letting Usagi regain her body back, the guardian waited behind a corner, watching the scene unfold.
"Why did you bring me out here?"
A snicker came from one of the figures.
"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to chat. You know, like friends."
Growling was heard.
"We were never friends. Ever since I first came to Hogwarts, I have been tormented by you. Now, you're saying we're friends? Who do you think I am?"
"Come now, don't be so cruel. Can't I enjoy a little talk with you, Potter?"
That got Cosmos' attention.
'I've heard of a Potter. Fights against Voldemort, their version of Chaos. But who's the other?' Cosmos wondered.
"Malfoy, just shut up."
Cosmos took note of the name.
"Why? Just to please you?" 'Malfoy' commented. "You keep thinking that."
A stick was brought up from his pocket, and pointed it at 'Potter'. Cosmos clenched her fist, resisting the urge to obliterate Malfoy right there. But, no, it was too soon. In a few moments, maybe. But not then.
"I finally can get my revenge on you, Potter. You sent my father to Azkaban, you ruined my reputation, you ruined everything. Now, you pay." The blonde smirked when he noticed the black haired boy reach into his pocket, and found nothing.
"What? You can't find your wand? Ah, ah, ah, Potter I thought you'd be smarter than this. Very well then. Now, it's time I get my revenge."
Potter moved back into the wall, trying to escape. But, there was no way out. He was trapped.
Malfoy moved his arm up, and began a spell that no one could hear.
Potter turned his head to the right, not wanting to watch his own doom. But, what he saw was something different.
Green meets silver.
A bright light.
A brilliant angel, with pure white wings.
Darkness...
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Cliffhanger.
Anyway, I hope you guys liked it. There wasn't as much romance as I intended to put in, but someone said to me that there shouldn't be too much. So, I listened.
Okay, back to the typical yelling of reviews.
