Omg.. I wanted to break 150 and we reached 170!!! ::hugs everyone::

Warning: Ok.. This is kinda PG-15.. i dunno.. It's not like very sexual at all, there are just some implications and innuendos.. lol

Blood River suggested in their review that if I wanted to write a nc-17 draco/usa i should prolly do so on another site thingy. i was thinking of writing one on Would you guys be interested in one? Please leave feedback in your review!! =.D

Okay just some tidbits of information to help things along... There's a great deal of explaining in this chapter. There are some luvly Draco/Usagi moments =.D but I did have to keep going along with the plot. Things are about to change very rapidly =D I think it was Adorable Angel who said in the review that the Snape/Luna/Lucius scenes made the chapter less enjoyable :blush: im sorry, but i have to keep the plotline moving rather than jus' filling it with Draco/Usa scenes (as much as i'd like to lol) It all comes into play as the plot progresses, rather than throwing it all in one shot. I thank you for the criticism though, and I tried making their scenes a little more interesting ::grins:: Thanks for the review!

----------

{Let your spirit free, through window of your mind..

Unchain your soul from hate.. all you need is faith.

I control, my Life... I am, The One.

You control, your Life...

but don't forget Your Destiny...}

--Stratovarius, "Destiny"

Desiring Need...

T u r m o i l

The group of friends looked at Usagi in an open mouthed shock, too surprised to even consider glaring at the smirking Slytherin boy behind her, his arms wrapped loosely against her shoulders.

"You mean...you and he.. so.." Ron sputtered, unable to find the right words.

"You and Malfoy are... dating?" Makoto asked softly in a hesitant voice, as though she had not heard her friend correctly.

Minako was the only one who gushed happily, all but squealing with joy. "I'm so happy for you two!"

Hermione and Harry looked at Usagi and Draco, unable to register the thought of the two--or Draco with anyone for that matter--as a couple. "I can't believe it," Hermione muttered, looking away with disapproval. Usagi looked a bit saddened, much to the scowling displeasure of Draco.

He smirked sarcastically at Hermione. "Well, start believing, Granger." Hermione looked at him, her jaw hanging slack, her eyes widened. Did Draco Malfoy just NOT call her a mudblood..? "Stop looking at me like that," he muttered, pulling Usagi closer. Usagi giggled as she saw Hermione's expression, amusement twinkling in her eyes.

"He's not THAT bad," she said in a teasing manner, leaning her back against him. He rubbed himself against her in a suggestive manner, whispering in her ear so only she could hear. "Wanna head back to my room and be naughty?" he murmured. Usagi blushed crimson and began pulling away from Draco before he pulled her close.. for several 'obvious' reasons.

Usagi cleared her throat a little, shifting slightly against him. His eyes closed for a hazy moment as he tried to regain his composure. He'd make sure she paid for that later..

"Well, I just wanted to tell you all," she said with a little smile. "Better than trying to keep it a secret."

Minako and Makoto smiled, happy for their friend. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were somewhere entangled between happiness and wariness for Usagi. They just hoped she knew what she was doing.

-----

"We should tell her soon, you know," Snape said softly, glancing hesitantly at Luna. He saw her bite her lower lip gently, a saddened, desperate look on her face.

"I know, but.. Can't we give it a little more time?" she asked quietly, trying to keep her voice from trembling. "She's just beginning to find happiness with him.. It's too soon."

"As much as I hate to do so," Lucius piped in, his voice low and drawl, "and believe me, I DO hate to do so.. I have to agree with Severus. Time is something we cannot afford for a matter such as this." He stood from his seat, looking at the two people in the room who had become his accomplices for this mission. A small smile shadowed across his lips for just a moment before disappearing into his usual, languid smirk. "But I do suppose we could give them a short bit of time.. Let her revel in all that a Malfoy has to offer.. Which, I'll have you both know, is a lot," he said with a grin.

"Your son's promiscuous behavior is a direct reflection of yourself.." Luna sighed softly, shaking her head.

Lucius looked thoughtful for a moment. "I suppose so..." A large grin spread across his lips. "I'm so proud," he said dramatically, placing his gloved hand against his heart in a mocking manner. Snape actually let a snort of laughter escape from his mouth, clearing his throat and looking stern quickly after.

"Well, regardless of if his actions are...teenage boy hormonal impacted and lust driven," he rolled his eyes at seeing Lucius smirk, "it... It is necessary.. Or so I understand, Luna?" he added, questioning a little for her to clarify.

Luna had the decency to blush as she spoke, looking at the two men with almost regretful eyes. "Well.. yes. Love is the key to this mission to succeed. Without that, it will certainly fail. But.. It's not enough to just say it," she added in a quiet tone. "For once, Lucius, your actions were justified ironically. The candies," she added, seeing his puzzled expression. A slow smile came to his face before quickly being halted as she continued. "Prematurely delivered, I'm afraid. Had you...waited with that, things could have gone much smoother."

Lucius rolled his eyes. "So. Let's give them more candy," he said in a conversational tone.

Luna giggled, almost in a teasing manner. "This is YOUR son we're talking about, Lucius.. do you think he'll take candies once again to get those results? He had said he wanted no influence or interruptions for, err..." she stumbled a little. "For 'next time'."

Lucius huffed a small laugh. "That's my boy all right," he muttered with a inward smile. "And knowing him, I say don't worry. That little bond shouldn't take too much longer in it's..formation."

Snape and Luna sighed, taking a seat next to the elder blonde Malfoy. He groaned slightly and shook his head, knowing it was time to get down to business once more.

----

"You're such a hentai!" Usagi exclaimed once she was able to pull away from Draco long enough to do so. Her cheeks were flushed, a small smile upon her lips.

Draco rose a pale eyebrow, a bemused expression playing in his eyes. "A what?"

Usagi blushed a little. "A pervert," she said in a teasing voice, giggling slightly.

"Oh," was all he said before pulling her close again, melding his lips against hers in a hard, passionate kiss. "So what if I am?"

"I dunno... Was just commenting. Ya know.. making conversation."

"I don't think it was an appropriate time for 'making conversation'.. Easily it could have ruined the mood," he said with a thoughtful frown that held only amusement.

Usagi stuck her tongue out at him, slipping out of his grasp and plopping unceremoniously onto his bed. Draco smirked at her slightly. "Don't stick out your tongue. It's not lady like," he commented off hand.

"So?"

"So don't do it unless you plan on using it."

"Ecchi!"

"What?" he asked in an annoyed voice. He'd have to learn her language some time..

"Perv," she mumbled.

"I thought that was hentai," he said, coming to the bed. He laid on the bed next to her, encircling her waist and pulling her quite close..

"Well, I could call you a conceited jerk or an asshole and I'd be saying the same thing in two different ways," she said in a sweet voice, giving him her sunniest smile. He only smirked at her in turn. Pressing his lips to hers almost tenderly, Usagi was first to break the light kiss, wriggling out from his embrace and beginning to stand from the bed. He grasped her arm loosely, halting her retreat.

"Are you running away from me, little bunny?" he asked in a curious, sensual tone.

Usagi let him grasp her in his embrace once more, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips. "Hardly," she murmured.

-----

"Well, I'm sure by now we all understand...Oh..." Luna winced, clutching her head as she grasped the edge of the table tightly. Lucius and Snape were at her side at once.

"What is it?"

"Are you alright?"

Luna waved them away in an annoyed gesture with her hand. "Yes yes, I'm fine.." Standing up straight and slowly regaining her composure, she gave a tearful sigh, her lips trembling. "It's starting.."

Lucius swore softly. "Well, that certainly puts a damper on things," he muttered sarcastically, though just as contemplative in thought as the others.

Snape gave Luna a thoughtful expression. "Well... what about..you know, the temporary resort?" he asked hesitantly. Seeing Luna's distraught look, he almost regretted asking.

"You're right," she murmured. "It.. it will suffice, for now." Lucius placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, not exactly one good with comfort.

"She'll be fine," he assured awkwardly, patting her gently. Luna looked at him, an underlying bemused expression in her saddened eyes. Giving him a faint smile, she nodded.

-----

Minako and Makoto were talking in hushed voices when they saw Usagi enter the common room. They kept looking at her as they whispered, and Usagi almost would have been nervous if it weren't for the extreme amusement in their eyes that betrayed their serious expressions. Usagi sat down with her friends, and they slowly leaned closer, looking around dramatically though only a few people occupied the room.

"Usagi," Makoto began in a low voice, "inquiring minds would like to know.."

"...if perhaps you and your sexy boyfriend," Minako continued.

"..have gotten around to makin' hot wild passionate love," concluded Makoto with a grin. Usagi looked at her with a slacken jaw. She had been hanging out with Minako 'way' too much..

"No!" Usagi exclaimed, blushing slightly.

"Oh c'moon Usagi," Minako said slyly. "We won't tell...not many people.."

"Just a few--"

"..hundred or so."

Usagi groaned at them, shaking her head with an inward smile. Looking up at them with a wide grin, she leaned forward. "Well, actually.. I guess I can trust you guys.."

Minako and Makoto waited in excited anticipation.

"Well... we kissed.. and we cuddled," Usagi gushed with a dreamy sigh. Makoto and Minako face faulted, their heads dropping against the table.

Hermione entered the common room, smiling at the group and taking a seat.

"Hii Hermione!" Minako said happily. Hermione smiled at her before she continued. Leaning close, Minako whispered, "how're things going with you and Harry?"

Hermione blushed slightly, a small smile on her face. "Well... We've determined that we're better off as friends," she said softly. Seeing the other girls look saddened, she smiled and shook her head. "It's alright though, really! We're just not a good match.. But." Uncharacteristically, she giggled girlishly and leaned towards Makoto. "There 'is' someone he does take a fancy for," she said slyly.

Makoto blushed. "You mean...he.."

Hermione laughed lightly. "Yep. Harry likes you, Mako. And from what I can tell you like him too. So, there's no point in delaying the inevitable. He's at the Quidditch field," she supplied with a grin. Usagi pushed Makoto, chiding her to get going. Awkwardly, Makoto left the group, a small smile on her lips.

-----

"Is it true, Malfoy?" Goyle asked, eyeing his 'leader' warily. "Are you and that...that girl really.. ya know?"

Malfoy raised his slender eyebrow, a small smirk playing across his lips. "As a matter of fact, yes. And her name is Usagi," he said smoothly, wondering why he was here and not with her..

"But! You.. you always said Gryffindors were scum.. yet you've been chasing after that girl all year," Crabbe muttered, not seeing the rationality to it all.

Malfoy shrugged. "Rules are made to be bent and broken," he said simply. Crabbe and Goyle looked at one another, completely perplexed by their leader's actions.

-----

"Alright class, I hope the weekend was an adequate amount of time to think about what that special something was you loved," Professor Moon said with a serene smile. The class all looked sort of nervous, as if doubting whatever it was they had chosen to think about.

Draco looked at the professor with a smug smile and she cast him a secretive glance of amusement. "Alright, any volunteers?" she inquired. Several students hesitantly raised their hands.. among them were Makoto, Harry, Hermione, Usagi... and Draco Malfoy.

"Well, that's a pleasant surprise, people actually wanting to participate," the professor mused lightly with the class. "Alright, first up is Makoto Kino, please." Makoto walked up to the front of the class and took out her wand, nodding firmly. She cast a glance at Harry, and he smiled at her reassuringly. She blushed a little and continued.

" 'Lufu Potis',"she said softly, closing her eyes and thinking about what it was she loved. The tip of her wand glowed softly for a moment, before brightening a great deal. It was no where near as strong as the professor's had been, but it was still fairly intense. The light dwindled and diminished after a few moments.

"Very good, Makoto!" The professor exclaimed happily. "That was very nice indeed for your first time." Makoto blushed slightly under the praise, mumbling a 'thank you' and sitting down.

"Alright next.. Draco Malfoy, if you would." Professor Moon couldn't help the quickening of her heart. 'Please...please let it be enough..' Draco walked to the front of the room with a smug smile, his eyes quickly shadowing an air of reassurance to the professor.

Licking his lips slightly, he said the spell. " 'Lufu Potis'." Everyone watched for a moment as the wand glowed dimly, the light almost barely visible.. No one was really surprised about that. Professor Moon felt her heart begin to sink...

And suddenly, it happened.

The light began swelling with a dizzying intensity, showering the room in a sharp, bright glow of power. The students were forced to shield their eyes, gasping and whispering to one another, unable to see nor hear the muttered conversation that went on beneath the light.

"Will it suffice?" Draco murmured quietly.

"Yes," Luna whispered softly, her heart swelling with hope. "On your part, at least..."

The light finally diminished, and Draco smirked at the wide-eyed, open-mouthed stupor of the students. He looked at Usagi then, and he swore he could see tears in her eyes. Her mouth trembled slightly as she gave him a watery smile. She knew who he was thinking about. She knew, and she couldn't have been happier.

"Ten points to Slytherin," came Professor Moon's excited voice. "That was marvelous, Draco!" Malfoy snorted slightly, taking his seat casually. Luna could scarce contain herself from blinking the tears away, rubbing her eyes and continuing with her heart freshly filled with apprehension.

"Usagi Tsukino next, please."

Usagi stood up, and as she walked to the front, Draco grasped her arm. "Think fondly of me, hmm?" he said to her softly, something shifting in his eyes she couldn't quite place. Usagi smiled at him and said in a teasing voice, "I think 'only' of you." Giggling, she continued to the front of the room, not seeing him relax slightly.

Luna could feel her heart thudding soundly in her ears, her hands trembling slightly as she smiled encouragingly at Usagi. So much depended on this... So much.

Usagi took a deep breath, tapping her wand slightly before saying the incantation. " 'Lufu Potis!' " A slight smile played on her lips as the thought of her special someone...

The light began relatively soft, but even so the difference was noticeable from the start. The students sighed peacefully as the light slowly flowed through the room, easing away the nervousness and apprehension of having to do this. The soft luminance began to radiate brighter, Usagi's wand pulsating in steady streams. Each pulse of light from the wand brought the luminosity a notch higher. Even Usagi was forced to close her eyes, feeling the pure white light radiate softly in the room.

Usagi felt it, not having to see it. The Ginzuishou's power joined with the rays, dizzying shimmers of iridescent light radiating from her very being rather than the wand. Usagi's eyes opened, slightly dim and hazy. "Ginzuishou," she whispered, her eyes widening as the glow enveloped the room.

Draco gritted his teeth as he tried to look at her, but that was far near impossible. The light was blinding.

"Usagi," Luna said softly, her eyes still closed as well. With the brightness of the light, no one could see the crescent moon that burned against her forehead...

or the matching one that pulsated warmly on Usagi's. The blonde girl felt her breath quicken, memories rushing through her in fluid, quick streams, hot tears rolling down her cheeks. So this was where it all had came from, she thought dimly..

The light reached a devastating crescendo and Usagi cried out, an anguished sound parting from her lips. The crescent moon on her forehead faded, as did Luna's. Very slowly, the powerful light faded, dimming softly in reluctance.

Draco was up in an instant upon hearing her cry out. As soon as the light faded, he quickly went to the front of the room. He looked at Luna angrily for a moment, before looking at Usagi, an unmasked worry etched in his features.

"Usagi," he said, calling her name softly.

Usagi didn't respond. She stood there, frozen and trembling. Her eyes were a dull blue, not the vibrant color they were all accustomed to. The students watched with apprehension, mainly the group of friends closest to Usagi.. mostly, Draco.

"Usagi," he said again firmly.

As if in slow motion, she turned to look at him. "Aishiteru," she whispered, before her eyes rolled slightly, collapsing to the ground. Draco caught her quickly, breaking her fall from the impact. He knew that phrase, as she had said it to him the other day. 'I love you'..

Picking her up carefully in his arms, he turned to look at Luna. A dangerous rage burned hot as fire in his icy blue eyes, flickering softly. As he walked passed her, he said in a low voice so only she could hear.

"I swear to you, if anything is wrong with her, the mission can go to hell and I won't fail to kill you."

With that, he exited the room to proceed to the Hospital Wing.

Luna stood there, shaken and teary-eyed. The students watched in a horrified shock at the entire scene that had displayed.

"T-take out your books and read chapter's 4 and 5 for the remainder of the class," she said in a quivering voice. The students complied without question, not knowing what else to do in this situation.

Luna sat at her desk in front of the class. How was she to know.. ?

She smiled, anguished. It was alright, though...

It would be enough.

-----

Soft music floated clear and beautifully through the large ball room, the myriad of people dancing in tune to its soft melody. Princess Serenity watched with a strange fascination as the couples laughed lightly and conversed with one another. It really was beautiful..

Too bad the reason for all of the festivities was not.

Usagi could not keep back the spiteful glare toward her mother. Of course she understood the politics of inter-galactive conflicts... that didn't mean she had to like their consequences. This was her engagement party... surely she should be enjoying herself a little more thoroughly As it was, her betrothed was conversing with some of the other men at the party, the smug smile on his face an indication of his pride to gloat he was marrying the princess of the moon.

"Surely a frown doesn't quite match the mood you should be feeling at your engagement party," murmured a deceptively soothing voice in her ear. She turned, startled, to see Drake. His icy blue eyes were glinting mirthlessly, anger more evident in his features than any true wish for her to be enjoying herself.

"Shut up," she mumbled, looking away. "You can't blame this on me.."

"Sure I can," he said lightly, pacing in front of her. "You're the one who's getting married."

"It's not my choice!" Princess Serenity cried, casting him a tearful glance. How could he be so mean..? "It's not my choice.. you know if I could have it my way I would--"

"Don't say something you'll regret, future wife of Prince Endymion," he sneered, smiling at her with no warmth. Serenity felt tears sting in her eyes, one of them trickling down her cheek. She gasped slightly as she felt the cause of these tears brush a gloved hand against her cheek, wiping away the liquid sadness.

"Don't cry.. It's not worth it. Your tears won't change anything. Turn away from what we had, and move on to what you'll have now. Certainly a better life than this mere boy could offer you," he said, barely restraining his sarcasm. He walked away then, knowing if he did not he'd further regret this already hurtful situation.

The princess sniffed slightly, hurt terribly by his words. She knew he was upset.. How could they both not be? She loved him, and he loved her... But with this engagement, it put a dreadful damper on the entire situation.

Serenity looked at her mother, who was currently engaged in a conversation with Drake's father. None of this was fair, but a treaty needed to be reached between the people of the Moon and Earth, and an arranged marriage between the two was the only reasonable choice.

Never mind the love they were breaking in the process...

Queen Serenity walked gracefully over to her daughter, smiling at her serenely. She flinched at the glare she received in turn. "He hates me now," the princess murmured, looking at the brooding form of Drake.

Queen Serenity sighed softly. "No, he doesn't. I'm sorry, my daughter.. I know this is difficult--"

"Difficult is beating Mercury in chess. This is agonizingly painful," she said with a frown. Hearing her mother laugh, she scowled.

"Oh dear," Queen Serenity said with a small laugh, shaking her head. "My daughter, you are only fifteen years old!" she chided softly. "That's too young to even truly know what love is."

Princess Serenity bit back a scathing comment. She didn't understand.. nobody understood except for her and Drake. They were happy together. Why did they have to be broken apart..?

-----

Draco brushed his hand against Usagi's forehead, smoothing away the stray, sweat dampened hair. It seemed even in their current life they still couldn't receive something so simple as a normal happiness. His rested his hand against her cheek, feeling the leftover moisture from the tears she had shed. He closed his eyes softly, contemplative and angry in thought.

These feelings diminished, however, as he felt her hand faintly touch his own, grasping it feebly. "Draco," she whispered, her voice barely audible. He felt a dizzying wave of relief spread through him. At least she was all right, physically.

"Usagi, are you alright?" he asked gently, brushing his hand lightly across the tear-stained cheek it rested upon. Usagi looked at him, her eyes soft and filled with pain.

"I... I remember it now," she said quietly. "Do..do you?"

Draco sighed, shifting slightly in his seat. "Yes.. Luna gave me back those memories as well the first time she preformed the spell." Usagi glanced at him for a moment, before closing her eyes. This really did complicate matters...

"Usagi," he interrupted sharply, her eyes opening with surprise. She looked at him curiously, waiting patiently. His eyes portrayed an emotion she couldn't quite place.. one that was so foreign shown in his eyes. "I don't care what the past life held, or what our past selves shared... It could have been worse than what we have now, it could have been a world better. Regardless of what it was like," he said quietly, "we only have right now. Live for the present, and don't ever dwell on what the past held to determine any decisions you make here on out. If you're not happy, say so. If you are, then say so. Just don't let a past life hold any obligations.. I'm happy, here and now, with you."

Usagi looked at him, unable to control the watery smile that trembled across her lips. She realized, again, why she loved him.. Why she would do anything for him.

"Usagi-chan!" Luna exclaimed, hurrying into the room. She stopped abruptly upon seeing the tender moment she was interrupting. It relieved her, however.. Things could still be adequately repaired with the necessary information known.

"Hi, Luna," Usagi said softly, sitting up a bit from her laying position in the cot. Draco cast a reproachful glance at the 'professor', and Usagi tapped his arm lightly. "It's not her fault," she said firmly, already able to see the resentment her boyfriend held for her former guardian and friend.

Draco shrugged indifferently, deciding not to press the matter. Luna smiled softly at Usagi, so glad to 'have her back'. "Whenever you are feeling better, Usagi-chan, there are some things we have to go over.." She trailed off as she saw the blonde girl begin to sit up.. only to be firmly halted by her fellow blonde boyfriend.

Usagi glared at him. "I'm fine.. I dunno how long I was asleep but I feel better. I was just tired and overwhelmed from it all, that's all," she assured him. He cast her a wary glance but complied to her wishes, standing up and letting her do the same. Luna exited the room, indicating for the two to follow.

"Where are we going?" Usagi asked, stifling a yawn with the back of her hand. Luna paused briefly before she continued walking.

"A place where you'll find a bit of clarification."

---

The last place Usagi thought she'd find some 'clarification' was Snape's dungeon. She saw the dark haired teacher, talking quietly to another man.

"Father," Draco murmured, surprise evident in his voice. Lucius turned around, and Snape shifted his eyes to the approaching group.

"Hello, son," Lucius said with a slight smirk. He turned to Usagi, his pale eyebrows raised in a manner much similar to Draco's. "And you must be the Usagi all of this fuss and these worldly matters are about. Lucius Malfoy," he said with a mock bow, "pleased to make your acquaintance

Usagi smiled at him uncertainly. "Nice to meet you too, sir," she said softly.

Lucius laughed lightly. "And so polite.. you did well, my boy," he said to Draco with a grin.

Draco scowled, rolling his eyes. "I don't believe we were brought down here for such matters as determining if my love interest was a good choice," he muttered.

Luna shot a bemused glance to the elder Malfoy. "At least he's not like you in the respect that he can actually get down to business quickly."

Draco's head was swimming with confusing thoughts. Why was his father here? What purpose was all of this for? As if reading his thoughts, Luna ushered for both he and Usagi to take a seat. Upon doing so, they waited anxiously for one of the three adults to speak.

"Well.. I guess I'll start," Luna said, almost a little timidly. "I gave you back enough memories of the past that things wouldn't be too overwhelming," Draco cast her a scathing glance but she continued, "but enough to follow through with what's going on." She sighed softly, pacing the room, unable to keep still with his a matter of apprehension.

"That long time ago, when you and Endymion were engaged... It was not a happy time for YOU, but it certainly brought fourth promise of a happier life for both the Moon and the Earth. Unfortunately.." she trailed off for a moment, her words faltering, before she continued again. "Unfortunately, this happiness did not sit well with Queen Beryl."

"Queen Beryl was in love with Endymion," Lucius picked up, seeing Luna was in need of some assistance. "Hearing the news of your engagement enraged her. She attacked the Moon Kingdom.. and nearly killed everyone. It was your mother who used the power of the Ginzuishou to help seal her away. With her last remaining strength, she sent all of you to be reborn on Earth, where you could live happier lives. Perhaps it was a kind finalty to have you and Draco close to each other," he said gently, seeing the troubled looks on both of their faces.

"And this brings up almost up to date with our current problem," Snape continued. "As you know, Voldemort hides and waits in dormancy for recuperation and a chance to strike. He's after Harry Potter, of course... but he's also after you," he said, almost gently to Usagi. Seeing Usagi's eyes widen, he proceeded with the rest. "Voldemort and Beryl struck a deal, of sorts... Voldemort found Beryl and promised to unseal her from the imprisonment dealt by your mother.. But only if she agreed vengeance upon the Earth. Voldemort is a very powerful man, and Queen Beryl is a very powerful woman... Their partnership can only mean the end of the world as we know it, should they reign supreme and not be stopped."

"And that, is where you come into play, Usagi." Luna stopped pacing, standing in front of her former friend from the moon. "While I am happy that you and Draco have gotten together successfully for the mere sake of your happiness, it was imperative that you did so."

Usagi tilted her head, finally speaking up. "What do you mean?" she asked softly, her mind still trying to piece together the onslaught of information it was receiving.

Draco stood abruptly, a sarcastic smirk fixed upon his lips. "Well, Usagi," he said in a deceptively soft voice, "it seems as if you and I need to have a love strong enough to kill both Beryl and Voldemort.. no pressure," he muttered, shaking his head.

Usagi stood too, confusion in her eyes. "I don't understand..."

"Your Ginzuishou's power is derived from the amount of love you feel... or the yearning you want for something. Remember the spell I taught you, 'Lufu Potis'? It is similar to that, in a way. The times when the Ginzuishou has been there to assist you, it was because you yearned desperately for it to do so. Well.. this is a little different."

Lucius cast a wary glance at his son, then Usagi. "The only way to defeat darkness is with light," he said quietly. "They are severe darkness.. and you are the counterpoint, light. Ironic son, isn't it?" he mused for a moment. "Practicing the Dark Arts and now using them for the good of mankind," he muttered.

Draco looked at his father, almost bemused but not quite. "And how exactly did you get mixed up in all of this mess, father? Here it was I thought you were his loyal servant.."

His father cast him an angry glance, no anger held toward Draco but toward the entire situation. "Well, what choice did I have when he came to me that day? Die.. or join. I chose the latter option," he said smoothly. "If that makes me weak, so be it. But I wasn't exactly ready to die. The ties between he and I as far as loyalty were out of obligation. I became his most one of his most trusted Death Eaters.. hence why I was a good accomplice for this mission. When he told me of his plans made with Queen Beryl, I knew things were progressing too rapidly. It was around this time I came in contact with Luna.."

"Queen Serenity's spirit is still alive.. She contacted me through dreams, as I know she's done with you as well," Luna said to Usagi, who nodded briefly. "She told me of the great threat that now plagued the Earth.. and of Lucius. She told me I should contact him, and tell him of my troubles and that perhaps together we could get things resolved."

"And what about you?" Usagi inquired, casting a glance at Snape.

Snape smirked slightly, but it was Lucius who answered her inquiry. "Well, I suppose you could say Severus and I are.... close acquaintances," he said with a light smile. "A third for this mission seemed almost necessary. He served as our ties to Hogwarts, and keeping tabs on you and my son. Luna getting the job here was a very big added relief as well."

Luna smiled a little, before turning her gaze to the two teens.. The two teens the fate of the world practically rested upon. "Getting back to the main topic at hand... Love," she said softly. "When you use the power of the Ginzuishou, Usagi, it complies to your wishes out of love... You need a very, very strong sense of love in order to even remotely hold a chance against Voldemort and Beryl. That is why it was imperative that you and Draco successfully established a relationship. As I said, I wish it was merely for happiness' sake that you two were together. But.. from here on until this mission is completed, the burden of the world is upon your shoulders," she whispered, looking away.

"Let's not be too dramatic, lest we scare the children, hmm?" Lucius said breezily, glancing at Luna with concern. His eyes shifted to gaze at his son, so many of his prominent qualities evident, and then Usagi. They both looked terribly troubled, and who could blame them...?

"There's more, I'm afraid. Voldemort and Beryl both know that you are at Hogwarts, Usagi. Beryl is going to start releasing youmas in the school.. Monsters," she clarified for the sake of the others. "They are hardly ready for a full attack just yet. Simple wizarding spells will more than likely work against them, for now. But as the power of Beryl and Voldemort increases, so will their monsters. Only the power of the planets can defeat them then. Currently, you've formed a friendship with Makoto and Minako. They are Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, two of your guardians from the past. Their memories will be revived tonight," she said almost regretfully.

"As for you, Usagi," she continued. Closing her eyes, a crescent moon appeared on Luna's forehead glowing softly for a moment before materializing a broach. "Your mother wanted you to have this. It will help you harness the power of the Ginzuishou.."

Usagi watched in a startled sort of awe as a crescent moon burned on her own forehead, the Ginzuishou reacting softly to the broach. Luna handed it to the girl, smiling softly. "You'll know what to do with it..."

Usagi could practically feel the words whispering through her mind. Raising the broach above her head, she let out the persistence words.

"Moon Crystal Power, Make-up!"

Mwuahah I'm evil.. Okay, I just wanted to clear some things up before you guys yell at me in reviews..

1) Draco/Drake... I was going to keep it Draco, but then I was like hmm.. Well she was Serenity and now she's Usagi after bein' reborn.. So I gave him a different name, slightly, to keep it consistent. Adding people into past lives is always a touchy matter for fanfics, like falling into the cliche of betrayal and such. Regardless.. i think it works out okay with my story and I like it so I'm keepin it =P

2) Dating! Makoto and Harry are now dating, Minako and Ron are dating, and Usagi and Draco are dating.. I jus' wanna clear that up since the relationships seem kinda vague.

3) Lucius had worked and is 'technically' still working for Voldemort. He's kinda like the spy for the group. He never wanted to join Voldemort but did so for his safety and the safety of his family. More to be revealed later with him!

4) I know Usagi's first transformation is Moon Prism Power.. I just thought it made more sense since she had the crystal and all to have it be "Crystal power".

5)It's been a while since i've seen the show, or read the Harry Potter books so if my information is not correct for any regards, it'll still be explained adequately to go along with the story.

6) I suppose this is an AU afterall.. Usagi never "met" the Minako, Makoto, or the other senshi until Hogwarts except for the past life she was reborn from. There is still a Sailor Moon (as you can see), just other elements play in effect.

7) Lastly, the very sketchy stuff will be clarified in time.. hopefully like next chapter, hehe. So, now that some of that stuff is out of the way, feel free to complain to me in reviews.. just please do it in a constructively criticizing manner, or compliment, or whatever you're compelled to do.. Lol.

8) I love Lucius... =x
