Venus gasped as her bottom hit solid ground. She quickly dehenshined, and turned to Usagi. The blonde was unconscious; her torn and bleeding body limp. Her breathing was shallow and raspy, and she was losing life quickly. The ghosts of the six dead Sailor Scouts surrounded Usagi, disappearing into her dreams.

Usagi's Dream

"Scouts?" Usagi groaned as she opened her eyes. "What happened?" Usagi sat up, remembering. "I'm gonna join you soon. I can feel my last breaths leaving me."

"No, Usagi, you mustn't," Rei smiled sadly, tucking a loose strand of Usagi's hair behind her ear. "Your time on earth isn't over. We're here to tell you what you must do. Your mother has already visited us to inform us of your future."

"Usa-chan," Hotaru laid a kiss on her princess' forehead. "Chibiusa is not going to be born. But, you are still going to become Queen. To do that, you must win a terrible ordeal."

"Usagi," Makoto smiled down at her. "You are now known as your birth name, Serena Voldemort Riddle. Tell everyone your name is Serena Tsukino, for your safety. You are no longer Usagi Tsukino."

"Wh-why not?" Usagi cocked her head, confused.

"Because you were adopted," Michiru said sadly. "Unable to protect you, your father had to give you away. There are many reasons why it was best for you. Your mother died giving birth to you."

"Koneko," Haruka kneeled down. "You must be strong. Your age has been set back five years to twelve. Your birthday has been changed to July 12. A new destiny is being sewn together for you. Tell no one your birth name, no one except for the man named Albus Dumbledore. You are on the grounds of Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. You must hold on to your life. You are still needed in this world."

"Why am I always needed so much?!?" Usagi was angry. "Why can't I just rest in peace?!? Serenity do this, Sailor Cosmos save the world, Usagi do that. Am I to live forever alone? Immortal, wise, and beautiful, but without love and companionship? Why can't I join you?"

"Oh, koneko, there's so much to learn. You are already on your way to becoming a queen. Just hang on. We'll be there for you, always."

"I miss you guys," Usagi cried, hugging all her scouts, and they soon faded away into nothing.

End Dream

Minako tended to Usagi's bleeding, crying. Usagi's breathing was slowly fading away. Minako got up, looking around to see if anyone could help. She spotted a boy with pale blonde hair, two burly boys standing on either side of him, as if they were bodyguards. She ran over to them, tears flowing down her face.

"Oh please, please, help me!" Minako tugged at the pale boy's hands, pointing at Usagi. "She's gonna die. She can't die, she can't. Please help me!"

"Why should I help a mudblood like you?" the pale boy snarled at her, jerking his hand out of Minako's.

"She gonna die, you have to help! Please, I beg of you! Help her!" Minako ran back to Usagi, sobbing, picking up the small girl in her arms. The pale boy headed over to see what was happening.

"What happened to her?" the pale boy frowned at Usagi's bruises and scrapes. "Crabbe, Goyle, go get a professor." The two large boys ran into the building, returning soon with a pale, greasy haired man. The man whipped out what looking like a shiny stick, and said a few foreign words. Usagi was lifted out Minako's arms, who tried to grab her. The man ran back into the building, four young people following him. He ran through a couple of sets of stairs, finally reaching a white curtained room. It looked like a nurse's office.

"Poppy! Poppy!" the greasy haired man cried out; his usually cold demeanor turned into excited fear. "Emergency! We need immediate help!"

"What's all the buzz about, Severus?" A portly woman bustled out from behind a curtain. She paled at the young girl floating behind the man named Severus. "What happened to her? Quick, lay her down on the bed! Call the headmaster! Malfoy, get Dumbledore! Hurry! Snape, give me all of your healing potions! I need the ones for gashes and blood loss!"

"What's wrong with her?" Minako sobbed. Her cuts and bruises were not life threatening, so she did not need any medical help. Her powers were already kicking in to heal her. "Why isn't she moving?" "Hush, girl, I need concentration! Sit on that bed over there! If I need your help, make sure that you hurry to do what I say!"

Madame Pomfrey (pretend I already introduced her) took out a stick similar to Severus' and muttered various words in a different language. Flashes of various colored lights surrounded Usagi. She poured different liquids into Usagi's mouth from vials, who struggled to swallow them, and bandages floated next to her, ready to cover up Usagi's cuts. Severus ran in with a collection of beakers, concoctions of every color steaming. Madame Pomfrey, looking over them, chose a couple, and swirled them together in a vial. She poured it down Usagi's mouth, who coughed weakly after she managed to swallow them. Madame Pomfrey gave a sigh, breathing heavily. The process took about twenty minutes. The girl would live, but her extent of healing was questionable.

"Is she gonna live?" Minako's voice was barely a whisper, and her eyes were puffy and red.

"Yes, girl, she is," Madame Pomfrey 'ordered' the bandages to wrap up Usagi's cuts and scrapes, and the bandage obeyed. "But how well she is going to heal is up to her. There may be damage to her brain, and scars will cover her body. What happened to her, anyways?"

"It is not my story to tell," Minako looked away. A movement in the corner of her eyes caught her attention. She looked up, and was surprised to see Ami. "Ami?"

"Yes, Minako, it is me. I came here to tell you that you must tell Albus Dumbledore every single thing that happened. Pluto is already filling him in on the basics. She does not have enough time to talk to him fully. Remember, Minako, your love is needed. Usagi requires full attention, comfort, and love to heal correctly. Be strong, for her. Her path is difficult. At times, it may seem that you have no hope. But look at your princess during those times, and you will find strength in her. Keep in mind, everything you experience, it will be ten times worse for her. Now, I must leave."

"Bye Ami," Venus whispered, looking around. No one seemed to have noticed her conversation. Suddenly, the pale boy hurried back in, a very, very old man walking behind him. He had half moon spectacles, and clear blue eyes. His silvery white beard tickled the floor, as did his hair. He had a pointy witch hat on his head, and dark blue robes on, with wide sleeves. 'Is it Halloween?' Minako thought dumbly, as she followed the man with her eyes.

"Poppy, what happened?" the old man peered down at Madame Pomfrey's patient. "Who's this?"

"I don't know, Dumbledore," Pomfrey busied herself by tending the small wounds of the girl. "It seems as if she was drained of her energy. Very, very, peculiar."

Minako, upon hearing Dumbledore's name, sat up straight. She ran over to the old man. "Mr. Dumbledore, sir, it's my duty to tell you, and only you, what happened. Please, we have to find a place where we can find privacy, because no one else must hear of this but you!" Minako said all of this in one breath.

"Calm down, miss," Albus Dumbledore lead Minako down a hallway and stopped in front of a statue. He whispered a word, and a set of spiraling staircases appeared as the statue jumped away. Minako's eyes widened. Dumbledore lead Minako up the stairs. "Now begin, tell me what happened."
