The First Day
"Serenity?" Hermione poked the blonde as she rolled over in bed, "Serenity?"
"She isn't waking up?" Ginny asked looking at Hermione trying feebly to wake the girl.
"Er," Hermione prodded her again, "Nope."
"Let me do it," Ginny said smirking evilly; her brown eyes lighting up with mischief.
Hermione backed away cautiously and hoped Serenity wouldn't need too much therapy, "Be nice." She warned.
Ginny cupped her hands and said, "Wake up Serenity, time to eat a big, huge, helping of carrots!"
Serenity shot up in bed screaming 'NO!', "That was cruel." Serenity said looking cross. She had told them the night before that she hated carrots.
Ginny smiled smugly, "It got you up, didn't it?"
"Brilliant." Lavender said coming over as she swept her light hair into a ponytail.
Serenity stretched getting out of bed, "I'll be back I'm taking a shower." She announced grabbing her towel and a clean set of robes and left to the bathroom.
"I'll think she'll want to get up earlier tomorrow." Hermione giggled as Ginny grinned. They stopped when they heard an 'I HEARD THAT!' coming from the bathroom.
"We're going down to breakfast, you coming?" Parvati asked twirling a strand of black hair between her fingers.
"No," Hermione replied, "I'm going to wait for Serenity."
"Okay," Ginny replied slowly, "see you at breakfast then."
A few minutes later Serenity came out of the shower dressed and started doing her hair in it's traditional style while Hermione and her chatted about their first class, Potions. When Serenity finished they walked downstairs to breakfast and sat down across from Harry and Ron.
"Hermione, what took you so long?" Ron questioned curiously, she was never late.
"I waited for Sere," Hermione replied biting into her eggs.
Serenity paused halfway though shoving a cinnamon bun in her mouth, "Sorry I took so long. I'll get up earlier tomorrow. I don't want that wake up again." She said and resumed eating as though she hadn't eaten in a year.
Harry and Ron exchanged confused glances as Dumbledore stood up, "I want to introduce to you your two new teachers." Two people stood up. A woman with long forest colored hair in which half was in a bun. She also had maroon eyes. Also, a man stood up. He had black hair that was slicked back and a very pale complexion. The thing that stood out most about him though were his coal black eyes, they seemed almost hypnotizing. Dumbledore gestured to the woman first, "This is Trista Meioh. She will be your new professor of Muggle History and Legends. And this is Tynan Desdemona he will be your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That is all, you may proceed to your class."
"What do we have after Potions again?" Ron asked as they grudgingly walked downstairs to the Potions chamber.
"Muggle History and Legends. Honestly Ron, can't you remember anything?" Hermione scoffed.
"What's your problem?" Ron asked heatedly. What crawled up her butt and died? Geez!
They entered the dungeon with Ron and Hermione bickering in the background. Serenity and Harry just rolled there eyes and sat down together near the back of the classroom as Hermione and Ron did the same, still arguing. Suddenly the door in the back of the room burst open and Snape walked in with his robe billowing around him and his greasy looking mane swinging about his face.
He flicked his wand at the board and instantly it began writing directions, "Today you will be making a truth potion called Vertiserium. Get started." With that he started to walk around observing everyone and their work.
"It says add two parts wormwood." Serenity said chopping up the said article.
"Now carefully add a pinch of-" Harry started but it was too late Neville, who was working next to them, had accidently knocked over his caldron and went reeling backward into Harry who was adding the 'pinch' of dusted tongue and made him drop the whole jar in. The explosion was huge. It blew anyone who was within four feet of them to the ground.
All the classes paused when a booming voice was heard screaming, "POTTER!" It seemed to echo throughout the halls.
"Twenty points from Gryffindor for Potter and Longbottom's stupidity." Snape said gloating.
"That's not fair!" Serenity said standing up to face Snape, "It was an accident! Neville knocked over his caldron and accidently hit Harry!" She protested frowning at the prejudice professor.
"Miss Moon," Snape snapped, "you will do well to stay out of this or you will find yourself in detention."
She shut her mouth when she remembered Amy, "Fine." Serenity fired back giving Snape a glare that could freeze over hell.
Snape's eyes widened at this, "Turn in your finished potions now!" He yelled startling everyone.
Everyone left the classroom muttering among themselves, "First day and already a bad grade." Serenity pouted when she remembered her promise to Amy.
"Don't worry about old Snape, he's a git." Ron comforted as they walked to Muggle History and Legends.
Hermione sat next to Ron again and Serenity sat next to Harry, "Good morning class." Professor Meioh greeted. "Today you will learn about the Greeks and what they believed. We will focus on the gods and goddesses. Lets start with the plants, shall we? What's your favorite planet...Mr. Weasley?" She asked as she called on him She winked at Serenity as she giggled quietly. All the Princess, Trista, Hotaru, Amara, Michele, Raye, Mina, Lita, Amy, and herself were all direct descendants of the Greek gods.
"I like the Earth the best." Ron said glancing in Hermione's direction. (A/N: Hermione means Earthy)
"Okay, we'll start there. The Greek goddess of Earth was who...Miss Granger?" Trista asked seeing Hermione's hand raised.
"Gaia." She replied with a smile.
"Ten points to Gryffindor." Trista proceeded to tell of the goddess Gaia. "Who is the goddess of the Moon, Serenity?" She asked this question directly to Serenity who blushed.
"Selene." She replied shyly. Harry looked over, she obviously was shy when talking about her heritage and about her being a Princess.
"Can anyone tell us about the goddess Selene?" Trista asked as both Hermione and Harry's hand raised, "Mr. Potter?" She asked.
"Selene, the Moon goddess, fell in love with a young shepard one night while out lighting up the world. She asked Zeus to grant the young shepard, Endymion, eternal sleep so he would stay forever young and handsome. So he slept and dreamed he was holding the Moon in his arms. But it was not a dream after all, because Selene bore her husband fifty daughters as beautiful as their mother and as sleepy as their father." Harry concluded as the class stared at him in silence only to be broken by Serenity muttering an 'grrr....Endymion that baka' under her breath.
"Great Mr. Potter ten points to Gryffindor for that fabulous answer!"Trista shot and apologetic glance towards Serenity for bring up her former lover.
After going through all the planets Trista smiled, "Now for my favorite planet, Pluto." Both Serenity and Trista said Pluto at the same time, "Prin-er...Miss Moon. Would you care to tell us about the planet Pluto?"
"Well," Serenity smirked, "The Greek god Hades is Pluto in Roman mythology and rules the Underworld. He tricked Demeter's daughter Persephone into becoming his bride by eating six seeds of a fruit and that is why it is cold and barren for six months of the year. Right Pu?" Serenity asked ignoring the classes stares.
"Correct Miss Moon another ten points to Gryffindor and please call me Professor Meioh." She added the last part in lower tones as Serenity nodded, "That's it for today. For homework right a one page essay about your favorite Greek god or goddess. Tomorrow we start the Silver Millennium."
Serenity grumbled and walked over to the teachers desk as everyone packed up there things, "Pu! Do we have to talk about the Silver Millennium?" Serenity begged.
"Princess Serenity, they need educating about your past," she paused, "their past." She shifted her eyes away from her face and back to the papers she was shuffling and giving Serenity a bow, dismissed Serenity.
As they were walking to Transfiguration Serenity asked, "How do you know so much about the Moon?"
Harry avoided her eyes, "I read up on it when I found out about you." He replied blushing a bright red that could rival Ron.
"Oh." She replied blushing herself, "Hermione?" She questioned tapping the girl in front of her as Harry regained his usual coloring.
"Yes?" She asked frowning at the mischievous glint in Serenity's eyes.
"Did you know your name means earthy?" Hermione nodded and then it seemed to sink in what she was suggesting as Ron's face lit up like a red Christmas bulb turning even his ears crimson.
Harry laughed, "I was wondering why it was your favorite planet!"
"Shut up!" Hermione snapped rushing on ahead and lowering her head to hide the pink that had spread across her cheeks.
Serenity giggled and prodded Ron in the ribs, "Ask her out already! I've only known you guys a day and I know you like her." She stated.
"Just ask her mate, everyone already knows you fancy her." Harry stated matter-of-factly.
Ron nodded and went to catch up to Hermione while Serenity and Harry shared a high five,
"That was brilliant!" Harry cheered as they entered Transfiguration. Ron and Hermione came in a little later and seemed to be better.
McGonagall came in, "Read pages 1-52 in your books and then right a summary of what you read." She sat down and added as an afterthought, "It can't be less than one foot either. And Mr. Finnigan, no small print." She emphasized.
After reading for a few minutes Harry took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and ink.
Ron,
Did you do IT yet?
Harry
Harry passed the notes behind him to Ron who was sitting next to Hermione. He looked at it questioningly as Harry nodded to read it. Serenity looked over with her eyebrow raised. 'Later' he mouthed to her and she nodded and went back to reading as the note appeared in front of Harry.
Harry,
Not yet. I'm going to after dinner in the common room. I hope she says 'yes'. Don't forget it's her birthday soon. On Friday, I believe. Be ready, I already got her a ring. You should see it. Anyway, I gotta read this.
Ron
Harry read it over again and passed it to Serenity to read and she silently cheered. All last night all Hermione had talked about was Ron and how Ron was perfect and kind and loving and...well lets just say it took a pillow fight to shut her up. Transfiguration was boring and nothing happened and they thanked Merlin when it ended, well Serenity thanked Selene.
Serenity's stomach growled, "I'm hungry!" She cried as they emerged into the hallway fighting to reach the Great Hall.
They sat down and had a good lunch, Serenity stuffed her face until it looked like a chipmunk storing food for the winter and them swallowed and repeated. They walked to Charms chatting about what they would learn.
"Hello everyone!" Professor Flitwick greeted, "Today we'll be learning color changing charms. Say 'changieo colore' and make this wand movement. Practice on the goblet I placed in front of you." He showed them the wand movement and left them to it.
Serenity sighed she had done this already with Pluto, "Changieo colore." She stated turning the gold goblet an ice pink.
"Good job Miss Moon." Professor Flitwick praised as he shook his head at Draco Malfoy, "No, no Mr. Malfoy. Let Miss Moon show you." He gestured to the blonde who smiled.
"Her? That Gryffindor filth? Never." Malfoy spat.
"Mr. Malfoy!" Flitwick said looking appalled, "Ten points from Slytherin!" Slytherin growled and Gryffindor looked at Serenity to see what she would do.
"Don't worry Professor," Serenity stated with a dangerous look in her eyes, "I'll still show him. changieo colore!" She yelled getting everyone's attention as she pointed her wand at Malfoy's hair changing it a florescent pink with purple highlights.
"Good!" Flitwick smiled at Serenity as the class laughed, "I mean, don't do that again."
"I was just showing him how to do it, Professor." Serenity said innocently.
"Get it out!" Malfoy screamed glaring at Serenity.
"But Draco, pink is so your color, you should wear it more often." Serenity chuckled as the class laughed harder.
"This is better than Draco, the amazing bouncing ferret!" Ron cried laughing so hard tears were coming out of his eyes.
"Reverse it!" Malfoy boomed.
"I'm sorry Mr Malfoy," Flitwick said trying hard not to laugh himself, "It will come out in an hour or two."
Later after charms was done, a pissed off looking Malfoy walked up to Serenity fuming, "Watch your back, Princess." He spat the word in disgust.
Serenity chuckled, "Your pathetic. And it's you that better watch your back, Malfoy." She drawled, "I'm not afraid of you, or your cronies." She added seeing Goyle and Crabbe cracking their knuckles.
Trista walked over and saw what was happening, "What's going on here?" She yelled as everyone in the corridor stared at her.
"None of your business." Malfoy spat glaring at the older woman.
"Detention!" She snapped at Malfoy as she and Serenity walked away leaving Malfoy standing there with his mouth open.
"Pu! What was that for?" She asked heatedly.
"I'm sorry Princess Serenity," She apologized, "you know how I get."
Serenity smiled and hugged the older woman as Harry came over to get her for Divination as they caught up with Ron, "Where's Hermione?" Serenity asked.
"You heard her last night Sere," Ron replied, "She hates Divination." They followed him up the ladder and to the room where Divination was held. The three of them sat down at a table next to Justin Flinch Fletchley from Hufflepuff. Serenity sat in the middle of the two boys and couldn't help but notice Justin staring at her and smiling.
"Today," Professor Trelawney said emerging from the shadows as Parvati and Lavender gasped in awe, "we will be looking at crystal balls. You will see one for each of you are on your table. Take out Unfogging the Future and begin."
Harry glanced at his crystal ball and frowned he didn't see anything, "Er, looks like it's gonna be a foggy night." Harry stated as Ron and Serenity laughed.
"Well, all I can see in mine is my reflection." Ron snorted, "Hermione was right about this class." He scoffed.
"And what exactly did Miss Granger say, Mr. Weasley?" Trelawney asked coming to stand next to Ron.
"N-nothing P-professor." He stuttered.
She tutted and looked at the laughing Serenity, "Is something funny Miss Moon?"
"Why yes Professor." She replied earning a surprised look from Harry and Ron.
"And what is that Miss Moon?" Trelawney asked looking exasperated. Another Miss Granger! She thought heatedly.
"Well, my crystal ball said that," She paused and listened to it. They could hear a whisper come out of the ball and Trelawney gasped, "Dumbledore will make an announcement tonight and we'll have a thunderstorm. " She finished smiling.
"My dear!" Trelawney said surprised, "You have...the sight!" She cried and instantly Parvati and Lavender applauded.
The rest of the class was spent asking Serenity questions about what the announcement would be and questions about the future which she refused to disclose.
As they walked out Ron asked her, "Did someone really tell you that or did you make it up?"
She smirked, "You know how I told you my friend Raye predicted the future through the fire?" They nodded, "I was talking to her, me through my crystal ball, and her through the fire. She told me of her vision, and her visions are never wrong."
"So you can talk to your friend, that's brilliant." Harry said awed as they walked to Care of Magical Creatures.
"Yup!" Serenity replied as Hagrid led them to his house for their lesson.
"'Aright, now 'ere going to be lookin' 'or Ashwinder eggs. Be careful!" He said looking directly at Malfoy who snorted, "They're really 'ot and can burn you fi 'our not careful. 'f you see the eggs 'ere red and you say 'feszium' an' 'ell freeze." He explained and motioned for them to start.
Serenity, Harry, Hermione, and Ron took the inside while everyone else took the outside,
"Think we'll find any?" Harry asked.
"Don't be thick Harry." Hermione stated, "Their must be some if Hagrid sent us to look."
Serenity pointed to a group of red eggs that were emanating heat, "Feszium!" She cried and instantly a coating of ice covered them.
After checking over the cabin they walked outside, "We found some Professor Hagrid." Serenity smiled and told Hagrid.
"Good." He stated and collected the eggs which had been frozen, "Professor Snape 'ill be wantin' these. For a love potion, I thin'?" Hagrid said as the group exchanged confused looks.
"For us?" Ron asked.
Hagrid nodded, "We're going to make a love potion! Wee!" Serenity smiled, "Who wants to be my partner?" She asked her group and instantly all the guys in class raised their hands.
"Hermione?" She asked uncomfortably.
"Sorry, Ron just asked me." She replied apologetically.
"That's okay, I have Harry!" She chuckled as he blushed and linked arms with him and they walked back to their last class of the day, Defense Against the Dark Arts.
They walked in and took a seat Hermione and Serenity were at the front of the class and Harry and Ron were right behind them. Professor Desdemona glided in to the front of the class, "Greetings," He drawled with a Romanian accent, "today you will learn about Vampires." He smiled when he saw a hand raised, "Yes?"
"Sir, vampires don't exist." Hermione scoffed putting on her famous your-so-stupid-you-make-me-laugh look.
"Don't they?" He asked as it looked like he floated toward Hermione.
"N-no, sir, they don't." Hermione replied trying to sound firm.
"Then what am I?" He asked and gazed directly in her eyes.
Serenity was the first to react, "A vampire? That's a first. Hello, my name is Serenity Moon." She stuck out her hand as everyone (namely the Slytherins) ran to the back of the classroom. Harry protectively stepped in front of her as Ron did the same to Hermione.
"Harry? What are you doing?" Serenity asked pushing Harry softly to the side as she shook hands with the new professor.
"You're not scared of me?" He asked astounded.
"Should I be?" She asked. Why be afraid of something that is obviously okay to be around otherwise Dumbledore would not have hired him. Serenity thought logically.
"Of course not," He said motioning for everyone to retake their seats though not many moved, "but that's not true of all vampires. Does anyone know what vampires fear? Mr...?"
"Malfoy." He replied smugly.
"Mr Malfoy." Desdemona called, now sitting at his desk and the students were now back in their original seats.
"Sunlight." He stated smirking.
"No, anyone else?" He asked and called on Hermione.
"A crucifix." She replied.
"No." He said shaking his head.
Serenity thought about it, "The Patronus spell." She said as she raised her hand.
"Yes. So today we'll be learning how to conjure a Patronus." He said, "Miss Moon could you please come forward. And take your wand as well."
Taking her wand she walked to the front of the classroom, "Okay, now what?" She asked as the class looked on expectant ly.
"Think of the most happy memory you can. It must be VERY happy okay?" He said and looked at her as she smiled, "Have you got it?"
She nodded, "Doesn't get much more happy than this." She was thinking of all the times when she defeated evil with her friends and saved the world.
"I'm going to advance on you and you have to block me alright. It's okay if you don't get it for a while. This is a very advanced spell. Ready?" He asked she nodded and he began to walk toward her his eyes intent upon hers. She froze in place. As she gazed into his eyes she felt like she was sinking in quicksand. Quickly she forced herself to blink and she found him up against her and they were against the wall, he was leaning in for the bite...
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" She screamed at the top of her lungs pointing her wand straight at his chest as a blinding silver light came out. She forced herself to think of every happy memory she could muster, her family, her friends, and her new friends. Suddenly she found the light gone and she was on the ground looking up at the worried face of Harry Potter who was cradling her.
"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly.
She forced a smile, "I'm fine." Except that I feel like I got hit by a truck! She thought to herself as she struggled to get up.
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron commended helping her to stand.
"Twenty points to Gryffindor for that excellent display. You knocked me all the way into the opposite wall, terrific!" He said rubbing his back, "Have you ever done this before?"
"No." She replied smiling.
"Just for that, no homework everyone!" He said as the class cheered, "Class dismissed."
"You're so powerful!" Ron admired as they walked to dinner.
"Thank you." She replied sitting down next to Harry and across from Hermione and Ron.
Conversation at dinner was basically about classes and the day. Harry couldn't help but notice that it seemed like all the boys were staring at him in envy for sitting next to Serenity. He also couldn't help noticing her curvy body, perfect skin, her enchanting eyes, and how incredibly kind she was. To him she was perfect.
Ron heard a rumble of thunder and looked up at the enchanted ceiling, "Sere!" He cried bewildered, "It's just like you said '...and we'll have a thunderstorm!'"
Serenity smiled, "I told you Raye was never wrong."
Just as she said that Dumbledore stood and everyone went silent, "I would like to make an announcement (Ron was so stunned he looked like he was going to wet his trousers, Harry just laughed), as you know we have two new teachers and in light of them we will have two new events this year. The first one comes on Halloween. We will be having a costume ball on that day. The next comes before the holidays. We will have a muggle day and talent contest where you must be dressed as a muggle all day. In the talent part you can only do muggle things like fake magician things and singing. That is all you may go back to your common rooms now." Dumbledore concluded.
On the way back to the common room Serenity and Harry asked the Gryffindors to just go back to their rooms. Most obliged and some tried to protest, but Serenity would have none of it and threatened to take out her wand and they did as told.
Hermione and Ron soon found themselves in an empty common room and Ron silently thanked Serenity and Harry knowing it would otherwise have been bustling, "Where is everyone?" Hermione asked while sitting at a table surrounded by books.
"H-homework p-probably." Ron stuttered back. I can't do this!
"Ron is something wrong?" Hermione asked coming to sit next to him not the couch.
"Hermione," Ron started as she grabbed his hand in concern, "Um, I...um...I like you..." He took his hand away and looked at the storm out the window.
Hermione sat shocked, "You like me...?" She asked him and he just nodded still facing the window. Her face softened as she turned him around gently, "I, um, I like you too." And with that there faces grew closer and came together in a sweet kiss.
After a while they bid each other goodnight and went to their dorms, "How'd it go?" Harry asked once Ron came in.
"She likes me..." Ron said dreamily flopping on his bed.
"He's got it bad! I mean look at him he looks like Loony Lovegood." Seamus said chuckling.
"Yeah and he's practically drooling." Dean pointed out.
"He's defiantly in love." Harry concluded.
"So," Serenity asked, "what happened?"
"He asked me out, Sere!" She said dreamily sitting on her bed.
"And you said? Yes, right?" Serenity prodded.
"Yes! Ron's my boyfriend!" Hermione changed and climbed into bed as Serenity did the same, "Sere?"
"Yes?" She replied groggily.
"Thank you." She stated.
"Your welcome." She replied smiling as she drifted off to sleep.
