Chapter 2 – Witches and Wizards?
Four Months Pass By
A girl who was once known as Tsukino Usagi, was now Cosmos stood at the Time Gates with a certain Keeper of Time. She held the Cosmic Staff, twirling it, while her companion sighed as she too held a staff. Usagi's appearance changed vastly. Before, she was 4'11 with long golden hair in two sphere-like balls, framing a heart-shaped face. She had porcelain skin with large puppy-dog like cerulean eyes. Now, she was 5'0 with long silver hair in two heart-like shapes, framing a still heart-shaped face. She has a slightly tanned complexion but not too far off from the porcelain skin she was had. She has large puppy-dog navy blue eyes with silver star-like specs. Where she once had a golden crescent moon, she now has a silver eight-pointed star. Her Cosmic Staff was grand, with a sphere at the top with two white pure wings surrounding it and a silver eight-pointed star inside of it. Setsuna had replicated her powers and Time Staff and gave them to Usagi. Usagi was once again complaining that she had nothing to do and that Setsuna wasn't go to do anything with her.
"Sets-chan, don't you want to go clubbing with me?! You don't love me any more?? Fine then, what about monopoly...? Chess? Checkers? Scrabble? Shopping...? Darn it Sets, let's do something!!!!" Usagi whined as Setsuna sweatdropped and inched away from her little by little.
(AN: I'm once again SORRY if I got the description of Cosmos wrong...--.--;; I don't have much knowledge on the Sailor Moon SS series....)
As Setsuna 'felt' a large disturbance in the air (whether it good or evil, Usagi didn't know because Setsuna wouldn't tell her), Setsuna had told Usagi to teleport herself to the location, giving her the longitude and latitude. "Cosmic Teleportation!" Setsuna gave a secret smile as Usagi teleported herself to who knows where. Setsuna quickly got a bowl of popcorn and created a couch to sit on to watch the entertainment. Hey, Usagi may have been her Princess but she couldn't live without entertainment, and who said that her Princess wasn't allowed to provide some?
She held out the Sword of Artemis in front of her, ready for battle. Looking around her, she found herself standing on a table full of food; feet in a bowl of red punch. "YUCK! Where the heck am I?! Arghhh!!!! You stupid teleportation. Wait...ARGHH!!! PLUTO!!! You friggin' liar!!! Yes, I'm sure there's a large disturbance in the air...Arghhh...now, let's see...Wait, it seems like there was a disturbance, I think...can't be too sure...maybe a minor disturbance...? Did the disturbance come from...was there even a disturbance? Hmmm..." As Cosmos stood there muttering to herself, she was unaware of the hundreds of sticks pointed to her. She jumped off the table and cleansed herself with the waters of Neptune and dried herself with the Winds of Uranus. At this point, the staff of teachers all had their sticks pointed to her, ready for any sudden movements. The apparent 'large' disturbance was merely a rebellious house elf who had used a large amount of magic (house elf magic...?) against another. (But Usagi didn't have know that.) Setsuna cackled an evil cackle that only Time Guardians who are extremely wacko can achieve.
(AN: Everything she says is in a bunch of different languages)
"Harry, Hermione, do you guys understand what the girl's blabbering on and on about?" Ron cocked his head to the side trying to understand what the strange but gorgeous girl was muttering on about. Harry and Ron just stared dreamily at her with goofy grins on their faces. Hermione glared at the two boys, almost men especially Ron who was supposed to be her boyfriend. She then looked at the unknown girl intently as if trying to figure something out.
"Oh my goodness! From what I gather, she's speaking a bunch of languages...Ooh! I recognize one...Japanese! I took Japanese classes over the summer! I know quite a lot! I reckon that I should be able to understand what she's saying!" Hermione stood up from the Gryffindor table and walked over towards her. "Konnichiwa! Atashi wa Granger Hermione! " She spoke clearly and loudly.
"Ôla! Je m'appelle Usagi Tsukino... Wait, crap. Wrong language? Wait, that's two wrong languages...I bet Sets-chan is having a ball up there...Darn it! Oh...Oh!" Turning her attention back to the tall girl with wavy brown hair. "Ohayo! Konnichiwa, Atashi wa Tsukino Usagi. Uh...Can you speak and understand English?" Hermione nodded. (AN: Really stupid, yes I know...--.-- ;;)
"I'm going to be speaking English from now on. I should practice different languages once in a while. I can't believe that I didn't recognize my own language! Sorry, my mind's been in the gutter lately." Cosmos said with a smile as she bowed.
"Do you know where I can find your Principal...I'm assuming this is a school...?"
"We have uh...someone known as the Headmaster, equivalent to a Principal or Dean. His name is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and he's right--" As Hermione turned around, she came face to torso with Professor Dumbledore. Hermione gave a faltering grin as she rushed back to her own seat.
"Hiya! Nice to meet you guys! Do you know where the heck I am?" Cosmos asked with a beam on her face. 'Pluto, I am going to KILL you!!!!' Dumbledore just gave a small nod with a twinkle in his eye. The rest of the teachers surrounded him with sticks pointing at her. "Hahahahaha! What are you guys going to do? Poke me to death?! Hahahaha! I haven't laughed ever since –Wowee!" Cosmos gave a large grin. Elsewhere, Setsuna was sweatdropping as her Princess smothered herself in laughter...on the floor.
"Excuse me you pig-headed foolish little girl! How dare you insult our wands! With these, we are a WHOLE lot more powerful than you!" The man with the greasy black hair all but growled out.
Cosmos suddenly changed personalities and did a 180º. She gave him along with everyone a cold, calculating glare. "Look here Mr. Black Haired-I- Think-I'm-So-Cool-But-Everyone-Really-Hates-Me-And-I've-Got-a-Stick-Up-My- Ass-And-It-Won't-Come-Out, I don't care WHO the hell you THINK you are! But never EVER call me pig-headed and NEVER say you are more powerful than me. I've got more power in my PINKY than you do in your whole body! Stupid jerk..." Cosmos started swearing in different languages that had Dumbledore pink.
"I'm extremely sorry for my colleague's behaviour. Please excuse him. As you know, I am Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. How did you just appear? You cannot apparate on these grounds." Dumbledore inquired of Cosmos with a tiny frown on his face.
"Oh my gosh! You mean witches actually exist? Like the Hocus Pocus bit, the green faces, and the bit noses with moles, and the crooked black hats, and the black cats as familiars..." Cosmos trailed off as she saw that the kids her age who appeared to be students started laughing. "Okay...well, maybe I'm a bit off. But anyways, uhh...I just teleported from the...Well, just say that I have a lot of untrained power and I accidentally ended up here. Apparate? Ooh! That must be a weaker version of teleportation. Well, uh...I must be off now! Hehehe!" Cosmos giggled weakly as she saw Dumbledore's large smile.
"Why don't you join us at our school? We can train you in our school ways of magic. What do you think students?" Dumbledore asked around him. The students just stared at him. "Excellent! Now, let's get you sorted! Minerva, please fetch the Sorting Hat." McGonagall walked off.
"Now, uh...what is your name?" Dumbledore asked Cosmos.
"Well, that depends on which one you want. I'm known as Tsukino Usagi or Serenity Moon." Cosmos replied with a goofy grin on her face, remembering and reminiscing past lives and former memories.
"Which one would you rather be introduced as?" Dumbledore asked again.
"Hmm...ah whatever. Let's just go with Serenity Moon!" Cosmos, now Serenity said with a grin, pushing back her silver hair.
"Now how old are you?" Dumbledore asked Serenity.
"Me? Hmmm..I guess you can say I'm sixteen. But I'll let you in on a secret." She whispered into his ear. "I'm older than I appear." Dumbledore gave a calculating thought towards her, but shook it off.
"Now, about those uh...clothes..." Dumbledore trailed off, leaving Serenity to realize what clothes she had come in. She wore a revealing silver tube top with a black eight-pointed star in the center, a black loose but short skirt with miniature silver stars and moons, black knee-high boots with silver lining, and a tight black toque. A small silver tattoo showed where her skirt ended, her left mid-thigh. She also had on a silver choker with the Ginzuishou, a silver bracelet with a bell, and dangly silver crescent moon earrings. The symbol of Cosmos on her forehead had been hidden by her silver bangs and hat.
"Oops! I'm so sorry! I'll change that now." Cosmos said with a blush as she realized her indecency. She merely concentrated on what she wanted to wear, accessories included. She pictured Hermione's Hogwarts uniform, the skirt, top, sweater, tie, socks, shoes, cloak, robe, and scarf. (Not that Hermione was wearing all of that.) And all her jewellery was off except for a small thin silver necklace with the Ginzuishou and small eight-pointed star studs. When she blinked and opened her eyes, what she pictured was what she wore.
Dumbledore just looked at her with surprise along with everyone else. Whispers filled the air, even as Professor McGonagall came forward with the Sorting Hat. Dumbledore lead her to a small stool where he placed the hat upon her head.
'Hmm...So you're the new student, huh? Wonder why you came so late. Well, let me see...where shall you fit...'
'Hiya!!!!!! Are you the hat on my head talking to me in my head?' Serenity gave a grin and asked.
'Apparently...let me see...hmmm...wow...you can fit into any one of these houses. Now that's rare! You're the very first person that I came across to fit into any house! You have the intelligence of Ravenclaw, the loyalty of Hufflepuff, the power of Slytherin, and the courage of Gryffindor! You can fit into anyone one of these houses. Difficult, very difficult.'
'Dude, what about this...why not let me stay with each of the houses for a month, each house a week each and I can make my own decision. What about that?' Cosmos asked the Sorting Hat.
'That would be okay, I suppose.'
'Ooh! By the way, do you have a name? Huh?'
'No, everyone just calls me the Sorting Hat.'
'Can I call you...hmm...ooh! What about JoJo? Cute name, right?'
Shock. 'Uh, I suppose so...thank you for the name...I think.'
'Oh, you're welcome JoJo!! Now, can I take you off my head and can you tell everyone? Thanks!' Cosmos took JoJo off and stood up with a smile. Everyone just stared at her. Wasn't the Sorting Hat supposed to make a decision?
"JoJo wants to tell you something Professor Dumbledore! JoJo, go ahead!" Cosmos told JoJo. JoJo...? Everyone whispered until JoJo spoke.
"Serenity is fit for any house. So as you can see, it was extremely difficult to choose a house for her to stay in. She shall stay in each house for a week to make her OWN decision." And JoJo fell quiet again. The Dining Hall was filled with loud whispers.
"The Sorting Hat let her choose her OWN house? Wow!" Exclaimed Hermione with awe.
"I hope she chooses our house!" Harry spoke with a large grin.
"Yeah!" More than half the population of the students spoke, mainly the MALE student species.
"SILENCE! I believe that Miss Moon will stay with the Ravenclaws first. You may share your books with someone from each house, but quills, ink, and parchment will be provided for you. Miss Moon...?" Dumbledore spoke to Serenity quietly for a few minutes until she was off with the Ravenclaws.
"Are you sure this is wise Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Yes, this shall be an interesting year." Dumbledore said with a large grin, avoiding the question. He watched as Serenity walked off with the Ravenclaw Sixth Years.
"Hi! I'm Serenity! But call me Sere, Ren, Rena, or if you want to...Serena! But stick to the first three!" Serenity approached an Asian looking girl.
"Hi! I'm Cho Chang! I'm in Seventh Year but I can help you out here and there."
"KING TRITON I ASSURE YOU DID NOT OWN THE MIRROR OF NEPTUNE, you dingbat of a teacher!!!!" Serenity screamed as Trelawney looked at her as if she thought she were better.
"Oh, and are you going to say that the Keeper of Time is a guy too?" Serenity gave Trelawney a glare. Setsuna was laughing up a storm.
"Actually, yes...in fact, YES! You see, the Guardian of Time can only be a man...because...it was a...hmmm..." Trelawney rambled on.
"Arghhh...Tree, I love you and all, but the FRIGGIN' TIME GUARDIAN IS A GIRL!!!!!" Serenity gave a frustrated glance at the ceiling as if Setsuna would come out. Tree, AKA Professor Trelawney merely clucked at her and said otherwise. Okay, she laughed at the fact that Michiru was thought as a man, but SHE, the ever-so-powerful Princess of Pluto...was thought of as a man...was insulting! Hmmph!
"Now class, next class we'll be looking into our futures with mirrors..."
The week was pretty interesting for the Ravenclaws as the week came to an end.
(AN: Sorry to everyone who wanted detailed descriptions of everything.... I'm not really into describing everything...I've got a couple of exams coming up next week...maybe later if I decide to revise my story -)
"I can't believe you're going to the Hufflepuffs! We'll all miss you!" Exclaimed Cho with a sad smile.
"Don't worry! I'll come and visit you all the time!" Serenity said with a happy smile.
"Bye Ren!"
"Bye-Bye!! Ciao! Adieu! Au Revoir! Sayonara!" Serenity went on.
"Ren! We get it already!" Cho yelled with a sweatdrop.
As Serenity walked over towards the Hufflepuff table, she noticed many of the girls were glaring at her. She stepped slowly with a large sweatdrop... "Hiya! I'm Sere! Nice to meet you guys!"
"We know who you are! Stay away from our guys or live to regret it!" One yelled and the rest nodded in agreement.
"Uh...I don't want any of your guys. Hehehe! I'll just be sitting over here. Bye!" Serenity said shakily. 'These girls are nuts! Better stay way from them...'
The week flew by slowly for Serenity as the girls in her house did everything they could to Serenity. They put glue on her seat, cast nasty spells that she always managed to avoid, and kept her away from any guy she came across.
'Finally, Slytherins! Peace at last!' "Okay! Before you girls get into your speeches about how I'll steal your boyfriends and stuff, I'm NOT! I'm not interested in any of them! Okay? Thanks!" Serenity sat down at the end of the Slytherin dining table during dinner. Everyone at her table along with the others heard her little speech and she gave a little grin. She then ignored everyone and started gorging herself in the desserts first.
'She's different from any other girl I've met...no! She's probably a mudblood. I'm a Malfoy! I will not be hindered by appearances. She seems nic—Okay! Get a grip of yourself Malfoy! I'll show her who's boss.' "Who let you sit on this end of the table, mudblood?" Malfoy snarled at Serenity.
"Hiya dude! I'm Serenity, but you can call me Sere. Hmm? There were more pieces of apple pie on this end so I just sat down. Mmmmmm...try the chocolate chip muffins! Here!" She grabbed two and put them on his plate and kept eating. Draco just sweatdropped as she continued eating. "So dude, what's your name? I mean, you must have one right?"
"Of course I have a name, you foolish little girl. The name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. I'm a Slytherin Prefect."
"Coolio! Hmm...Draco's too long. Ooh! What about CoCo? Huh?" Serenity asked excitedly.
"CoCo? Get your mind out of the gutter, mudblood! What kind of idiot is called CoCo?!" Draco said with a forced down blush. 'It's an affectionate nickname...just for me.'
"I think CoCo is a cute name! Too bad now, you're stuck with it!" Serenity said with a large smile. She then introduced herself to the rest of the gang – Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and the rest of the table. She surprisingly made good friends with them all, especially Pansy who was constantly misunderstood. Pansy was nicknamed SySy, Crabbe – C-man, Goyle – G-man. The whole Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff houses were given nicknames, even the teachers. Professor Hagrid – The Big Man, Professor McGonagall – Ms. Mc, Professor Trelawney – Tree, Professor Sinistra – Sinny, Professor Snape – the Snapester, Professor Sprout – The Sproutster, Professor Dumbledore (DADA teacher so far) - D-Man, or the Big D, Professor Binns – the Bin Man, and many more. (AN: -;;)
"Potter! Ten points from Gryffindor for your idiocy! You add the snail bits BEFORE the mandrake roots!" Snape spit out.
"Snapester! What ya think about my potion dude?" Serenity said with a large grin and a wink at Harry, whom she had spoken to on several occasions.
"What have I said about that name, Moon?! Well, once again...perfect potion! Five points to Slytherin!" Snape growled with a tiny smile..? towards Serenity.
"Snapester! Call me Sere! Or Ren! Or Rena!" Serenity gave another large grin.
"Moon! On with your assignment!" Snape threatened with a ferocious glare.
"Snapester! C'mon!" Serenity smiled. Snape turned around to face her giggling face. He was going to have a big migraine after this...her big puppy- dog eyes...her pouting lips...Argh!
"REN! GET WRITING!" Snape yelled at Serenity with a smile threatening to break out. The students just stared in shock at their teacher, very discreetly of course.
"Thanks Snapester!" Serenity started writing her essay on the Forgetfulness Potion and finished 3 rolls of parchment by the end of class. 'Done!' It was the end of class and she handed her assignment in. Professor Snape just looked at her with surprise. 'She did all that during that time? She'd better pick Slytherin as her house.'
Her week in Slytherin had been fun.
"Bye Sere!" "Bye Ren!" "Bye Renny!" "Bye Rena!"
"Bye everyone! I'll come visit you guys sometime!"
Serenity finally entered Gryffindor, her final house. Learning magic had been easy. And she had to choose a job for after school. 'What the heck am I supposed to pick?! Oh well...I'll just pick an Auror for now...'
"Tree, we're still on mirrors?! You cannot see into your future with a DARNED mirror! Why can't you be more like Firenze???!!!" Pointing at the other, more realistic Divination teacher, Serenity once again started a minor debate in Divination class with the Gryffindor Sixth Years. Harry, Hermione, and Ron smirked. All three of them decided to take this class because Serenity was in it. And whatever class Serenity was in, brought them entertainment. Setsuna smiled as her Princess brought a large headache to the phony Divination teacher.
"Well then...let's see if you can see into your future with YOUR mirror, little Serenity!" Trelawney gave a smirk as if she knew Serenity couldn't do it. Setsuna merely gave a glance at her and focused on Serenity. She knew that she was going to bring a certain item up... 'I wonder why she didn't call on me...maybe she didn't want any questions...?'
"Fine, Tree. I'll show you!" Bringing out the Mirror of Neptune from her sub-space pocket, she held it in her hand for a moment as if remembering Michiru and then laid it on the table in front of her. Trelawney looked at the mirror and gasped. Where had she gotten the mirror?!
"Is this a copy of the mirror?! Where did you find this?!! How long have you had this for????!!!!" Trelawney asked on, but went silent as she saw Serenity in concentration. 'Hmm...ahh, whatever, I'll really make a prediction.' Focusing on the Mirror of Neptune's power, she entered herself into the realm. 'So...this is what will happen...'
"Okay! At dinner this week, Dumbledore will make a special announcement about the DADA teaching position. Also! At the Gryffindor Dinner Table tonight though, I will be having.... Mmmm...some Cajun chicken Alfredo, Pumpkin Juice, Dumplings, Spaghetti with Meatballs..." Serenity gave a full description. Setsuna merely sweatdropped as Serenity went on. Trelawney just glanced at her in surprise but shook her head.
"Ren, I know...it's tough not being able to predict the future like I can, but there is no need for you to have to make things up..." Trelawney then gave a speech about her great accomplishments. Serenity banged her head on the table several times, until Hermione tried to stop her. 'Why me... 'SETSUNA, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME...YOU SENT ME HERE ON PURPOSE, BUT WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU'RE DEEEEEEEADDDDDDDD MEAAAAAATTT!!!! YOU HEAR ME??? DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEADDDDDDDDD MMMMMMEEEEEAAAAATTTTTT!!!!'' Setsuna gave a frightened glance at the image as Serenity's thoughts filled her head. 'Uh oh...'
The week flew by like a breeze and she was finally given the choice. At the time of dinner yet again, she stood up and made a speech. She stood up on the Gryffindor bench and spoke excitedly, yet calmly.
"This past month was tons of fun! And I have to say that each house is fantastic in their own way!" With a pause, she gave Dumbledore a secret grin. "However, D-man here, has given me yet another choice...a choice to be a regular student...or the New Defence Against Dark Arts Teacher!" Silence ensued the room. Everyone was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Trelawney looked at Serenity in surprise but then shook her head. There was no way...right?
"Well...? I haven't made my choice yet but...who knows?! Let's eat!" Serenity sat down again as hunger filled her petite Lunarian body. Whispers filled the once silent room.
"Did Dumbledore really offer you the job of DADA teacher?"
"So...what do you think you're going to pick?"
"I think you should join Gryffindors!"
"Hufflepuffs are SO much better!"
"You should stay a student."
"But a teacher would be fun too! You get to boss people around!"
"Well, I don't know yet...this week, I'm going to be following Dumbledore around and see what he does." Serenity told Hermione, Harry, and Ron.
Hermione and Ron got into their own little discussion as Harry and Serenity hit it off once again.
"Wow 'Mione, Harry's really opened up the past week. I mean he'd been all moody the first week of school! Every since Ren came around, he's been bloody weird! Talking and all...bloody hell! Look at that!" Ron exclaimed towards Hermione.
"So, he's laughing! What's the big de—Oh...he hasn't laughed since...Snuffle's death..." Hermione wavered. She realized that Serenity had brought a big change about towards their Gryffindor seeker.
Harry and Serenity started laughing together as Serenity told Harry how she was such a ditz and one of her many accidents. Dinner was over and everyone went into their dorms.
"Night everyone!" Serenity shouted. The Gryffindor house looked at her. Where was she going to stay now...? "D-man gave me a separate room because he wanted to me look over a couple of books and lesson plans. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye Ren!" "Sweet dreams!" "G'night!" "Have a nice night!" "What the heck is have a nice night?!" A pair of boys in Seventh year started bickering with each other.
As Serenity neared her separate dorm, she noticed a picture of the Sailor Senshi in their Princess forms along with her as their past selves. They started to move around and she gasped as Minako winked. "Hiya Usa-chan! This isn't the real us, but we're close enough to be real."
"Hi Mama! Did you miss us? Are you surprised?" Hotaru smiled as she tugged on Setsuna's sleeve. Setsuna was painted in as well.
"I missed you all so much! How did you get here?" Serenity asked in wonderment.
"This is just a picture of us. We all saw you come down from the Time Gates and we thought we would join you." Setsuna spoke with her garnet-coloured eyes sparkling with mirth.
"Stop hogging her attention! You get to see her anyways at the Time Gates!"
"....."
"We're not hogging it, we just spoke to her first! Ha!"
"Hush it you guys! We're here to give Sagi-chan moral support, not a headache!"
"Neko-chan, the password is "Hikari no Tenshi"...just for you!"
"Thank you all..." Serenity said with a gentle smile on her face as the door swung open. She washed herself and changed as she lay herself onto her bed with a look of pure happiness.
"OH NO!!!! I'm late! I'm late! Darnit! Stupid alarm clocks! Oh...wait...that reminds me, I have to buy one! Can't believe they don't even have alarm clocks here!" Serenity rushed off to the Dining Hall for breakfast. She headed towards the Teachers' Table and took a seat at the end. Something was going to happen. She could feel it in her bones.
HIYA!!!!!!!! - Did you like it????!!!! Lol, well the next chapter's going to be MUCH different than you expect, I think. —.—;; Well, the coupling should be showing up soon.
If you want anything to happen, just review and tell me!!!!!

(AN: I'm once again SORRY if I got the description of Cosmos wrong...--.--;; I don't have much knowledge on the Sailor Moon SS series....)
As Setsuna 'felt' a large disturbance in the air (whether it good or evil, Usagi didn't know because Setsuna wouldn't tell her), Setsuna had told Usagi to teleport herself to the location, giving her the longitude and latitude. "Cosmic Teleportation!" Setsuna gave a secret smile as Usagi teleported herself to who knows where. Setsuna quickly got a bowl of popcorn and created a couch to sit on to watch the entertainment. Hey, Usagi may have been her Princess but she couldn't live without entertainment, and who said that her Princess wasn't allowed to provide some?
She held out the Sword of Artemis in front of her, ready for battle. Looking around her, she found herself standing on a table full of food; feet in a bowl of red punch. "YUCK! Where the heck am I?!

"Why don't you join us at our school? We can train you in our school ways of magic. What do you think students?" Dumbledore asked around him. The students just stared at him. "Excellent! Now, let's get you sorted! Minerva, please fetch the Sorting Hat." McGonagall walked off.
"Now, uh...what is your name?" Dumbledore asked Cosmos.
"Well, that depends on which one you want. I'm known as Tsukino Usagi or Serenity Moon." Cosmos replied with a goofy grin on her face, remembering and reminiscing past lives and former memories.
"Which one would you rather be introduced as?" Dumbledore asked again.
"Hmm...ah whatever. Let's just go with Serenity Moon!" Cosmos, now Serenity said with a grin, pushing back her silver hair.
"Now how old are you?" Dumbledore asked Serenity.
"Me? Hmmm..I guess you can say I'm sixteen. But I'll let you in on a secret." She whispered into his ear. "I'm older than I appear." Dumbledore gave a calculating thought towards her, but shook it off.
"Now, about those uh...clothes..." Dumbledore trailed off, leaving Serenity to realize what clothes she had come in. She wore a revealing silver tube top with a black eight-pointed star in the center, a black loose but short skirt with miniature silver stars and moons, black knee-high boots with silver lining, and a tight black toque. A small silver tattoo showed where her skirt ended, her left mid-thigh. She also had on a silver choker with the Ginzuishou, a silver bracelet with a bell, and dangly silver crescent moon earrings. The symbol of Cosmos on her forehead had been hidden by her silver bangs and hat.
"Oops! I'm so sorry! I'll change that now." Cosmos said with a blush as she realized her indecency. She merely concentrated on what she wanted to wear, accessories included. She pictured Hermione's Hogwarts uniform, the skirt, top, sweater, tie, socks, shoes, cloak, robe, and scarf. (Not that Hermione was wearing all of that.) And all her jewellery was off except for a small thin silver necklace with the Ginzuishou and small eight-pointed star studs. When she blinked and opened her eyes, what she pictured was what she wore.
Dumbledore just looked at her with surprise along with everyone else. Whispers filled the air, even as Professor McGonagall came forward with the Sorting Hat. Dumbledore lead her to a small stool where he placed the hat upon her head.
'Hmm...So you're the new student, huh? Wonder why you came so late. Well, let me see...where shall you fit...'
'Hiya!!!!!! Are you the hat on my head talking to me in my head?' Serenity gave a grin and asked.
'Apparently...let me see...hmmm...wow...you can fit into any one of these houses. Now that's rare! You're the very first person that I came across to fit into any house! You have the intelligence of Ravenclaw, the loyalty of Hufflepuff, the power of Slytherin, and the courage of Gryffindor! You can fit into anyone one of these houses. Difficult, very difficult.'
'Dude, what about this...why not let me stay with each of the houses for a month, each house a week each and I can make my own decision. What about that?' Cosmos asked the Sorting Hat.
'That would be okay, I suppose.'
'Ooh! By the way, do you have a name? Huh?'
'No, everyone just calls me the Sorting Hat.'
'Can I call you...hmm...ooh! What about JoJo? Cute name, right?'
Shock. 'Uh, I suppose so...thank you for the name...I think.'
'Oh, you're welcome JoJo!! Now, can I take you off my head and can you tell everyone? Thanks!' Cosmos took JoJo off and stood up with a smile. Everyone just stared at her. Wasn't the Sorting Hat supposed to make a decision?
"JoJo wants to tell you something Professor Dumbledore! JoJo, go ahead!" Cosmos told JoJo. JoJo...? Everyone whispered until JoJo spoke.
"Serenity is fit for any house. So as you can see, it was extremely difficult to choose a house for her to stay in. She shall stay in each house for a week to make her OWN decision." And JoJo fell quiet again. The Dining Hall was filled with loud whispers.
"The Sorting Hat let her choose her OWN house? Wow!" Exclaimed Hermione with awe.
"I hope she chooses our house!" Harry spoke with a large grin.
"Yeah!" More than half the population of the students spoke, mainly the MALE student species.
"SILENCE! I believe that Miss Moon will stay with the Ravenclaws first. You may share your books with someone from each house, but quills, ink, and parchment will be provided for you. Miss Moon...?" Dumbledore spoke to Serenity quietly for a few minutes until she was off with the Ravenclaws.
"Are you sure this is wise Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Yes, this shall be an interesting year." Dumbledore said with a large grin, avoiding the question. He watched as Serenity walked off with the Ravenclaw Sixth Years.
"Hi! I'm Serenity! But call me Sere, Ren, Rena, or if you want to...Serena! But stick to the first three!" Serenity approached an Asian looking girl.
"Hi! I'm Cho Chang! I'm in Seventh Year but I can help you out here and there."
"KING TRITON I ASSURE YOU DID NOT OWN THE MIRROR OF NEPTUNE, you dingbat of a teacher!!!!" Serenity screamed as Trelawney looked at her as if she thought she were better.
"Oh, and are you going to say that the Keeper of Time is a guy too?" Serenity gave Trelawney a glare. Setsuna was laughing up a storm.
"Actually, yes...in fact, YES! You see, the Guardian of Time can only be a man...because...it was a...hmmm..." Trelawney rambled on.
"Arghhh...Tree, I love you and all, but the FRIGGIN' TIME GUARDIAN IS A GIRL!!!!!" Serenity gave a frustrated glance at the ceiling as if Setsuna would come out. Tree, AKA Professor Trelawney merely clucked at her and said otherwise. Okay, she laughed at the fact that Michiru was thought as a man, but SHE, the ever-so-powerful Princess of Pluto...was thought of as a man...was insulting! Hmmph!
"Now class, next class we'll be looking into our futures with mirrors..."
The week was pretty interesting for the Ravenclaws as the week came to an end.
(AN: Sorry to everyone who wanted detailed descriptions of everything.... I'm not really into describing everything...I've got a couple of exams coming up next week...maybe later if I decide to revise my story -)
"I can't believe you're going to the Hufflepuffs! We'll all miss you!" Exclaimed Cho with a sad smile.
"Don't worry! I'll come and visit you all the time!" Serenity said with a happy smile.
"Bye Ren!"
"Bye-Bye!! Ciao! Adieu! Au Revoir! Sayonara!" Serenity went on.
"Ren! We get it already!" Cho yelled with a sweatdrop.
As Serenity walked over towards the Hufflepuff table, she noticed many of the girls were glaring at her. She stepped slowly with a large sweatdrop... "Hiya! I'm Sere! Nice to meet you guys!"
"We know who you are! Stay away from our guys or live to regret it!" One yelled and the rest nodded in agreement.
"Uh...I don't want any of your guys. Hehehe! I'll just be sitting over here. Bye!" Serenity said shakily. 'These girls are nuts! Better stay way from them...'
The week flew by slowly for Serenity as the girls in her house did everything they could to Serenity. They put glue on her seat, cast nasty spells that she always managed to avoid, and kept her away from any guy she came across.
'Finally, Slytherins! Peace at last!' "Okay! Before you girls get into your speeches about how I'll steal your boyfriends and stuff, I'm NOT! I'm not interested in any of them! Okay? Thanks!" Serenity sat down at the end of the Slytherin dining table during dinner. Everyone at her table along with the others heard her little speech and she gave a little grin. She then ignored everyone and started gorging herself in the desserts first.
'She's different from any other girl I've met...no! She's probably a mudblood. I'm a Malfoy! I will not be hindered by appearances. She seems nic—Okay! Get a grip of yourself Malfoy! I'll show her who's boss.' "Who let you sit on this end of the table, mudblood?" Malfoy snarled at Serenity.
"Hiya dude! I'm Serenity, but you can call me Sere. Hmm? There were more pieces of apple pie on this end so I just sat down. Mmmmmm...try the chocolate chip muffins! Here!" She grabbed two and put them on his plate and kept eating. Draco just sweatdropped as she continued eating. "So dude, what's your name? I mean, you must have one right?"
"Of course I have a name, you foolish little girl. The name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. I'm a Slytherin Prefect."
"Coolio! Hmm...Draco's too long. Ooh! What about CoCo? Huh?" Serenity asked excitedly.
"CoCo? Get your mind out of the gutter, mudblood! What kind of idiot is called CoCo?!" Draco said with a forced down blush. 'It's an affectionate nickname...just for me.'
"I think CoCo is a cute name! Too bad now, you're stuck with it!" Serenity said with a large smile. She then introduced herself to the rest of the gang – Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and the rest of the table. She surprisingly made good friends with them all, especially Pansy who was constantly misunderstood. Pansy was nicknamed SySy, Crabbe – C-man, Goyle – G-man. The whole Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff houses were given nicknames, even the teachers. Professor Hagrid – The Big Man, Professor McGonagall – Ms. Mc, Professor Trelawney – Tree, Professor Sinistra – Sinny, Professor Snape – the Snapester, Professor Sprout – The Sproutster, Professor Dumbledore (DADA teacher so far) - D-Man, or the Big D, Professor Binns – the Bin Man, and many more. (AN: -;;)
"Potter! Ten points from Gryffindor for your idiocy! You add the snail bits BEFORE the mandrake roots!" Snape spit out.
"Snapester! What ya think about my potion dude?" Serenity said with a large grin and a wink at Harry, whom she had spoken to on several occasions.
"What have I said about that name, Moon?! Well, once again...perfect potion! Five points to Slytherin!" Snape growled with a tiny smile..? towards Serenity.
"Snapester! Call me Sere! Or Ren! Or Rena!" Serenity gave another large grin.
"Moon! On with your assignment!" Snape threatened with a ferocious glare.
"Snapester! C'mon!" Serenity smiled. Snape turned around to face her giggling face. He was going to have a big migraine after this...her big puppy- dog eyes...her pouting lips...Argh!
"REN! GET WRITING!" Snape yelled at Serenity with a smile threatening to break out. The students just stared in shock at their teacher, very discreetly of course.
"Thanks Snapester!" Serenity started writing her essay on the Forgetfulness Potion and finished 3 rolls of parchment by the end of class. 'Done!' It was the end of class and she handed her assignment in. Professor Snape just looked at her with surprise. 'She did all that during that time? She'd better pick Slytherin as her house.'
Her week in Slytherin had been fun.
"Bye Sere!" "Bye Ren!" "Bye Renny!" "Bye Rena!"
"Bye everyone! I'll come visit you guys sometime!"
Serenity finally entered Gryffindor, her final house. Learning magic had been easy. And she had to choose a job for after school. 'What the heck am I supposed to pick?! Oh well...I'll just pick an Auror for now...'
"Tree, we're still on mirrors?! You cannot see into your future with a DARNED mirror! Why can't you be more like Firenze???!!!" Pointing at the other, more realistic Divination teacher, Serenity once again started a minor debate in Divination class with the Gryffindor Sixth Years. Harry, Hermione, and Ron smirked. All three of them decided to take this class because Serenity was in it. And whatever class Serenity was in, brought them entertainment. Setsuna smiled as her Princess brought a large headache to the phony Divination teacher.
"Well then...let's see if you can see into your future with YOUR mirror, little Serenity!" Trelawney gave a smirk as if she knew Serenity couldn't do it. Setsuna merely gave a glance at her and focused on Serenity. She knew that she was going to bring a certain item up... 'I wonder why she didn't call on me...maybe she didn't want any questions...?'
"Fine, Tree. I'll show you!" Bringing out the Mirror of Neptune from her sub-space pocket, she held it in her hand for a moment as if remembering Michiru and then laid it on the table in front of her. Trelawney looked at the mirror and gasped. Where had she gotten the mirror?!
"Is this a copy of the mirror?! Where did you find this?!! How long have you had this for????!!!!" Trelawney asked on, but went silent as she saw Serenity in concentration. 'Hmm...ahh, whatever, I'll really make a prediction.' Focusing on the Mirror of Neptune's power, she entered herself into the realm. 'So...this is what will happen...'
"Okay! At dinner this week, Dumbledore will make a special announcement about the DADA teaching position. Also! At the Gryffindor Dinner Table tonight though, I will be having.... Mmmm...some Cajun chicken Alfredo, Pumpkin Juice, Dumplings, Spaghetti with Meatballs..." Serenity gave a full description. Setsuna merely sweatdropped as Serenity went on. Trelawney just glanced at her in surprise but shook her head.
"Ren, I know...it's tough not being able to predict the future like I can, but there is no need for you to have to make things up..." Trelawney then gave a speech about her great accomplishments. Serenity banged her head on the table several times, until Hermione tried to stop her. 'Why me... 'SETSUNA, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME...YOU SENT ME HERE ON PURPOSE, BUT WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU'RE DEEEEEEEADDDDDDDD MEAAAAAATTT!!!! YOU HEAR ME??? DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEADDDDDDDDD MMMMMMEEEEEAAAAATTTTTT!!!!'' Setsuna gave a frightened glance at the image as Serenity's thoughts filled her head. 'Uh oh...'
The week flew by like a breeze and she was finally given the choice. At the time of dinner yet again, she stood up and made a speech. She stood up on the Gryffindor bench and spoke excitedly, yet calmly.
"This past month was tons of fun! And I have to say that each house is fantastic in their own way!" With a pause, she gave Dumbledore a secret grin. "However, D-man here, has given me yet another choice...a choice to be a regular student...or the New Defence Against Dark Arts Teacher!" Silence ensued the room. Everyone was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Trelawney looked at Serenity in surprise but then shook her head. There was no way...right?
"Well...? I haven't made my choice yet but...who knows?! Let's eat!" Serenity sat down again as hunger filled her petite Lunarian body. Whispers filled the once silent room.
"Did Dumbledore really offer you the job of DADA teacher?"
"So...what do you think you're going to pick?"
"I think you should join Gryffindors!"
"Hufflepuffs are SO much better!"
"You should stay a student."
"But a teacher would be fun too! You get to boss people around!"
"Well, I don't know yet...this week, I'm going to be following Dumbledore around and see what he does." Serenity told Hermione, Harry, and Ron.
Hermione and Ron got into their own little discussion as Harry and Serenity hit it off once again.
"Wow 'Mione, Harry's really opened up the past week. I mean he'd been all moody the first week of school! Every since Ren came around, he's been bloody weird! Talking and all...bloody hell! Look at that!" Ron exclaimed towards Hermione.
"So, he's laughing! What's the big de—Oh...he hasn't laughed since...Snuffle's death..." Hermione wavered. She realized that Serenity had brought a big change about towards their Gryffindor seeker.
Harry and Serenity started laughing together as Serenity told Harry how she was such a ditz and one of her many accidents. Dinner was over and everyone went into their dorms.
"Night everyone!" Serenity shouted. The Gryffindor house looked at her. Where was she going to stay now...? "D-man gave me a separate room because he wanted to me look over a couple of books and lesson plans. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye Ren!" "Sweet dreams!" "G'night!" "Have a nice night!" "What the heck is have a nice night?!" A pair of boys in Seventh year started bickering with each other.
As Serenity neared her separate dorm, she noticed a picture of the Sailor Senshi in their Princess forms along with her as their past selves. They started to move around and she gasped as Minako winked. "Hiya Usa-chan! This isn't the real us, but we're close enough to be real."
"Hi Mama! Did you miss us? Are you surprised?" Hotaru smiled as she tugged on Setsuna's sleeve. Setsuna was painted in as well.
"I missed you all so much! How did you get here?" Serenity asked in wonderment.
"This is just a picture of us. We all saw you come down from the Time Gates and we thought we would join you." Setsuna spoke with her garnet-coloured eyes sparkling with mirth.
"Stop hogging her attention! You get to see her anyways at the Time Gates!"
"....."
"We're not hogging it, we just spoke to her first! Ha!"
"Hush it you guys! We're here to give Sagi-chan moral support, not a headache!"
"Neko-chan, the password is "Hikari no Tenshi"...just for you!"
"Thank you all..." Serenity said with a gentle smile on her face as the door swung open. She washed herself and changed as she lay herself onto her bed with a look of pure happiness.
"OH NO!!!! I'm late! I'm late! Darnit! Stupid alarm clocks! Oh...wait...that reminds me, I have to buy one! Can't believe they don't even have alarm clocks here!" Serenity rushed off to the Dining Hall for breakfast. She headed towards the Teachers' Table and took a seat at the end. Something was going to happen. She could feel it in her bones.
