Usagi wolfed down her food like her usual self. She had skipped dinner that night, and was starving. 'That was a good breakfast!' Usagi grinned at the people staring at her.

"What? Haven't you seen someone eat before?" Usagi batted her eyelashes prettily. Sighing, she turned to Hermione. They had become best friends over the matter of a few conversations. "So, Hermione. Second to last day of school. Any parties going on?"

"Well, there is the feast tonight," Hermione said, shoveling down food.

"Any music, dancing, partying?" Usagi frowned.

"Nope. Just food and friends."

"That sucks! Can't we bring boom boxes or anything?"

"You could, I guess, but electronics aren't allowed at Hogwarts."

"Really... I have a boom box that's laced with magic. It works anywhere, and tunes in to Japan's most popular stations, no matter where you are. Or Virginia's, cause I went there for a month to visit and uncle, and I had it programmed to do that."

"You could," Hermione looked up a litter of owls flew in, carrying mail, and dropping it on their owner's plates. Usagi gasped when she saw Snowdrop flying in with mail as well. Everyone stopped to watch the imperial bird fly into Usagi's lap and drop a package. Usagi smiled down at her pet and stroked its wings. The phoenix disappeared with a poof, and Usagi opened the brown paper wrapped package. Seven objects fell onto her empty plate, and Usagi gasped. Her scouts' transformation pens. A note was in the package, and Usagi tore it off.

My dear Serenity,

Yes, these are the transformation pens that once belonged to your friends. They now belong to you. You are able to use all the powers that were given to them, and their birthrights. Once you get to Gringott's, show the transformation pens. You will know what I'm talking about once you get there. If you are worried that your protectors will not have their powers, they will. You will be staying over the summer at a place called Diagon Alley. It is the safest place for you, as it is closely guarded by the greatest wizards and witches. Also, if you look in the envelope, I've got a birthday surprise for you, but you won't be able to open it until your birthday. Also, it would be wise to learn about Quidditch.

Love, Queen Selene

Usagi pouted as she finished the last sentence. Sighing, she folded the note and stuffed it in her subspace pocket, and held the transformation pens in her hand. More power. That was good.

"I heard about your little crush," a singsong voice whispered in Usagi's ear. Usagi gasped and jumped. She looked behind her.

"Minako!" Usagi threw her arms around the blonde, giving a bear hug. "Oh my god! How could you not tell me about the wedding?"

"Usagi! Stop squeezing me!" Usagi smiled sheepishly and backed away.

"Sorry," Usagi sighed. "I heard what Mamoru did."

"It took us completely by surprise. So...." Minako looked around. "Tell me who the lucky guy is."

"Ssshhh! Not here! I'll tell you later. Anyways, I'm gonna write back to my mom." Usagi turned to Hermione, who was sitting there, looking at Usagi in a weird way. "Hey Hermione! This is my friend Minako, Sailor Venus, and the. She was killed by Mamoru. Snowdrop!" The phoenix reappeared, nuzzling Usagi. Usagi laughed.

"B-but that's an ice phoenix!" Hermione gasped. "They're extinct, and have been extinct for almost one hundred years!"

"Well, then, I guess I'm lucky. My mom gave it to me. Do have any paper? I already have a pencil," Usagi took out the pencil that was holding her hair in a bun, and her locks fell around her face. She thought for a moment before writing.

Dear Mother,

Aaawwww! I wanna see my present! Anyways, I want to thank you for my pet. But I have a question to ask you. You're hiding something from me, and it's my past. What exactly happened and why can't I remember?

Love Always, Serenity

Usagi tied the note to the phoenix's leg, and the majestic bird rose, flapping its large wings, and left. Usagi turned to Hermione, her face deep in thought, before she decided.

"Hermione, there's something I want you to know about me. Do you have classes today?"

"No, today's a free day."

"Then come up to my room. Mina-chan, you too," Usagi led Hermione up the stairs that lead to her room, while Minako simply teleported there. Usagi plopped down on her pink bed. Everything in her room was either pink or blue, and reminded her of cotton candy. Usagi motioned for Hermione to sit as well, and she complied.

"I don't know where to begin," Usagi looked down at her hands. "Let me start from the beginning. You know about the Silver Millennium, right?" Hermione nodded. "Well, it started a long time ago..." Usagi went off into a detailed story of her life (I'm not repeating it here, way too long, and you guys should already know about it!!!). Hermione nodded every now and then, her eyes wide. She was speechless when Usagi ended.

"Oh, Serena," Hermione hugged Usagi. "It must have been very hard for you. Are you ok?"

"Actually, I'm fine. You could even say I'm sort of happy. I mean, if I want to see my friends, I just have to call them. And I can touch ghosts, as you probably noticed. Just don't tell anyone what I told you. And call me Usagi instead of Serena, I prefer it. Also, it turns out that Beryl and Mamoru is teamed up with someone named Voldemort," Usagi frowned as Hermione gasped.

"He's the dark lord! He caused so much death and destruction, that people are scared to say his name, even!"

"What!?! Then it's true... he's even more powerful than Chaos. But there's something that I don't get..."

"What?"

"My name, my real name, is Serena Voldemort Riddle... which means..."

"You're his daughter..." Hermione looked as Usagi fearfully, and Usagi noticed.

"Come on, Hermione, I am a warrior of light and good. I'm not like my father, so don't say I am."

"Yea, but if anyone find out..."

"Which they won't. There's no way anyone could find out about this if you don't tell. Which you won't..."

"But what if someone was eavesdropping!"

"They can't; there's too many spells in this room. No one will ever know what we're talking about. Ever. And there's no flaw in the spell."

"Oh. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You've been through so much."

"Yeah... Minako?" Usagi turned to her friend.

"I didn't know that much about you," Minako bowed her head, crying. "I'm so sorry Usagi; I should have been there for you more."

"It's ok, Mina-chan. But, about my crush," Minako lit up at those words. Hermione frowned.

"Who is it?" Hermione was extremely curious. She leaned forward. Usagi turned her head away, embarrassed. Her face turned a bright shade of red as she whispered her words.

"D-D-Draco M-Malfoy," Usagi stuttered out. Hermione let out a gasp, and then a scream, and then she started talking fast.

"Oh my god Usagi, how could you have a crush on a creep like him, I mean he is hot, but still, he's so mean, oh my god, I can't believe this, you have a crush on the person everyone thought you hated the most!" Hermione stopped, taking deep breaths, laughing her head off.

"You're crazy!"

"No, you are! You do such a good job at hiding your feelings! I mean, Malfoy would never guess!"

"Show him to me!" Minako pleaded. "If he's hot, you're so lucky, Usagi!"

"You're married!" Usagi scolded.

"So? I can still look at boys, right?"

"Ugh, shut up!" Hermione laughed. "What would your husband say?"

"Oh my god, let's find him right now!" Minako jumped up and down.

"It's lunchtime, isn't it? Well, he's gonna be there! Come on!" Usagi jumped off her bed and ran out of her room, Hermione and Minako following. Usagi slid into the Great Hall amid a mass of students, and Hermione crashed into Usagi, who stopped suddenly. Usagi calmly walked over to the Gryffindor table, and Hermione followed her leave. Taking a seat, Usagi whispered to Minako to become invisible, and turned to Hermione.

"You know Hermione, I get these little hyper bursts of energy, and you've just experienced one," Usagi smiled when Hermione laughed.

"Yea," Hermione was happy she found a new friend, especially since Usagi was a girl. (Sure, you can have boys for friends, but it's different when it's a girl. You should see me and my friends sometime... we're those really loud peeps who disturb the peace by our laughing and stuff... good times, good times!)

"Hermione, I'm happy you're my friend," Usagi said, serious.

"Me too. Well, everyone's seated. Let's just find –"

"Find who?" Ron plopped down next to Hermione, and both girls turned red.

"Ron, get away, we kinda need privacy, ya know."

"What's up with you, Hermione? You're acting strange... all girly and everything..."

"Yeah, so? I am a girl, you know! Now please leave!!"

"Fine, fine, whatever," a grumbling Ron left and sat somewhere else, followed by Harry, who was confused.

"So," Usagi whispered to Hermione. "Minako get in closer. I'm gonna start a fight with him, so you can tell who he is..."

"I have a better idea," Minako's faint whisper came out of seemingly nowhere. "Why don't we play a little embarrassing prank on him?" Hermione and Usagi leaned in close to hear what Minako had to say. Their eyes grew wide, and they gasped, giggling.

Well, what a cliffy! I'll ttyl.... JK!!! Did ya guys reely think I was gonna do that to you?!?

Usagi got up, pulling Hermione to her feet. Hermione followed Usagi, who stopped behind Malfoy (I'm calling him Malfoy instead of Draco now, cause for some reason, I keep on typing Malfoy instead of Draco, and I might say Draco instead of Malfoy sometimes, so don't get confused!!!... so, on with the story). Usagi tapped on Malfoy's shoulder. The pale blonde whipped around, standing.

"What does the mudblood and the weakling want?" Malfoy spat out.

"I think we have some unfinished business," Usagi flipped her hair, and then crossed her arms.

"Oh really?" Malfoy pulled out his wand. "What kind of unfinished business?"

"The little word exchange. And as I was about to say before Pluto interrupted us... wait, what's that in your hand? Is that a.... AAAAHHH!!!!" Usagi screamed, happy that her plan had worked. While Usagi had been busy talking to Draco, Minako had slowly slipped out Draco's wand and replaced it with a... tampon!! (Sry peeps, but I think that's hilarious!!!!) "Are you a girl?!?"

"What is this?" Draco looked at the thing in his hand curiously. All the girls sitting at the Slytherin table gasped and screamed. All the other tables were now crowded around Draco and Usagi, and those girls screamed as well. The boys stared curiously at the thing in Draco's hand. Usagi screamed.

"Oh my god!!!! You are a girl! Oh my god!!!" Usagi pretended to look faint. A stout girl came forward.

"Malfoy, don't tell me you don't know what you're holding. Where did you get that, anyways?"

"I don't know, I pulled my wand out of my pocket, and then, this was in my hand!" Malfoy panicked, clearly knowing that it was something disgusting. (For a boy). "Tsukino what did you do? Mudblood, you better not have had anything to do with this!"

"What are you talking about, Malfoy?" Usagi looked at him with pure innocence. "I didn't do anything!"

"Move aside!" A voice Usagi knew was Snape's made it's way closer to the two people. Once Snape saw what Draco was holding, he turned red. "Everyone, back to lunch, show's over! Get back!" While Snape was herding the students back to their tables, Usagi leaned in close, her voice a whisper.

"Sorry, gorgeous, but something had to be done. See ya around!" Usagi blew a kiss, and headed back to her table, a gaping Hermione following, and leaving Draco stunned. Usagi started laughing crazily when she sat down.

"That has got to be the best joke ever!" Hermione laughed along with Usagi. "Did you see the look on Malfoy's face?"

"Yeah!" Usagi looked around. "Minako?" Minako appeared, grinning. "Oh my god, that was brilliant! You are so a genius!! He'll never guess how we did it!"

"Oh, you are totally so lucky! He is so fine! Oh my god, how can anyone resist his looks!" Minako sighed dreamily. Usagi rolled her eyes, and quickly ate a sandwich, gulping down apple juice with it.

"Hermione, don't tell me that's the first nasty joke you've ever played," Usagi raised her eyebrows at the girl, who was still bright red, and shoveling down food.

"Well, actually, it is," Hermione bit her lip. "But, I mean, tampons? Well, in the muggle world just about everyone know what it is, but in the wizarding world, boys aren't exactly supposed to know. But it was totally worth it. Oh yeah, I kinda forgot to tell you something..."

"What?"

"He has a girlfriend..."

"What!"

"Her name is Pansy."

"You know what, she's history. Look out for Usagi, Malfoy!" Usagi laughed. "About the little party tonight... I think we should dress to kick ass. What size do you wear in muggle clothes? I'm a size 3 or 5."

"Same here!"

"Perfect! I'm gonna bring the music, and we can party all night!"

"Tsukino, that was not a funny joke to play," Malfoy appeared behind Usagi, fuming.

"Hey, what can I say? We're even now." Usagi stood up. "Don't mess with me, boy, unless you want enough humiliation to last a lifetime."

"Usagi!" the loud voice made Usagi look around. She spotted Rei running towards her. She had something written in her communicator (pretend the communicator is like a little mini-computer). "I found this at the library!"

"What Rei?" Usagi was confused, and looked into Rei's communicator. She gasped at the writing and then read it out loud. "Prince Endymion supposedly had a younger brother whom Princess Serenity of the White Moon Kingdom fell in love with!" Usagi frowned, unable to remember anything. "Why is Pluto hiding my past?"

"It's possible that something so traumatic happened that she didn't want you to remember," Rei smiled at Minako. "Welcome to our ghostly crew!"

"Hai, welcome to the ghostly crew!"


Sry, that chapter was completely pointless, but I hafta admit, Usagi has a lot more courage than I thought...I'll try and make the next chapter atleast a little bit not pointless. Until then, seeya!!!
