Ok guys, I need a name for Endymion's younger brother... I am SO bad at making up names!! Just review and tell me some names, and I'll choose from the list, k? On with the fic!
Usagi quietly knocked on Dumbledore's statue. It swung open, and Usagi climbed up the spiral of stairs, eventually reaching Dumbledore's office.
"Mr. Dumbledore, sir, I wanted to ask you something," Usagi bowed in respect.
"You just did," Albus Dumbledore's eyes twinkled behind his half moon spectacles. Usagi blinked in confusion, and then shook her head. "But you may ask me another one."
"Um... are we allowed to have electronics here?"
"They don't work on Hogwarts grounds. I'm sorry."
"B-but my stuff works here because Ami infused it with magic so that it can work anywhere."
"In that case, I suppose so."
"And the feast tonight, I have a boom box and was wondering if I could maybe liven it up with a little music, and turn it into a party. You know, with dancing and everything."
"I don't see why not."
"B-but I don't know if you listen to muggle music or not, but the stations my radio is tuned to has muggle music."
"I don't think anyone will really mind. Is there anything else?"
"Umm...actually, there is something else..."
"Go on."
"Do you know anything about my past and Endymion's younger brother?"
"I'm afraid your friend Pluto has forsaken me to tell you anything about him."
"O-ok. But I want to know, is it true? Did I really fall in love with his younger brother and not him in the past? I found it in a book..."
"I can't say, Miss Tsukino. You must find that out for yourself. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Well, I better get going. Bye, Mr. Dumbledore."
"Good-bye, Miss Tsukino," Albus Dumbledore took off his glasses as Usagi left the room. He massaged his temples, sighing. 'I'm afraid your future holds pain, princess. Hold strong.'
Usagi skipped down the hallways, looking for Hermione. Someone suddenly stood in front of her, making her crash into him. Usagi looked up from the floor, huffing.
"Watch where you're going," Usagi shook her hair from her eyes. "Malfoy? What do you want now?"
"That prank was disgusting," Malfoy's eyes made Usagi feel another strong wave of déjà vu. Usagi frowned.
"I really have to go, Malfoy." Usagi struggled to get up. Once she managed to, she sighed. "I'm sorry for the prank. It wasn't really my idea; it was Minako's. But I guess it's my blame since I played along. Sorry once again."
"Apology not accepted. This means war, Tsukino." Draco's eyes changed from their normal grey-blue to a stormy blue color. Usagi cocked her head.
"Did you know your eyes change color when you're mad? That's so cool. You kinda remind me of Mamoru, you know. He was cold and distant, too. And your eyes remind me of him. Except yours are lighter. His eyes used to change color, too. One of the many reasons I gave my heart to him. Huh, look what he did. He betrayed me," Usagi went back through her memories. Draco looked at her like she was crazy.
"He was such a charmer. Always knew the right thing to say to make a girl feel special." Usagi jumped out of her trance, shaking her head to clear her thoughts. "Look at me, talking to a stranger about my past. I should get going, Malfoy. Bye..." Usagi turned and ran the other way, not wanting to believe what she had just said to Malfoy. 'Oh my god, I have to stop getting into these trances. I have to stop living in my past.'
"Usa?" Hermione voice made Usagi stop and turn.
"Hermione! There you are! I've been looking for you all over! Come on! Dumbledore said we can use my boom box!!! The feast is in two hours! We hafta get ready!"
"Get ready?"
"Duh. We hafta kick ass for this party. Don't you want boys all over you?"
"I'm not pretty, Usagi, like you."
"That's bull shit. Here, I'll help you. Come into my room." Usagi and Hermione ran up to Usagi's room. Usagi went into her subspace pocket and pulled out a bunch of beauty products. "Hermione, we're gonna start with your hair. I love make-overs! I know someone who loves them even more, though! Minako!" Minako appeared, looking confused. "We're having a make- over!!"
"What?!?!" Minako squealed, looking happy. "Oh my god! Let me help! First, we have to do something with your hair. Here, us this shampoo." Minako handed Hermione a shampoo. Usagi pulled a chair in front of the bathroom sink, and tilted Hermione's head back, letting the water wet her hair. Usagi then took a huge amount of shampoo and worked it into Hermione's hair, then rinsed it. Hermione's hair came out wet. Usagi put in leave-in conditioner, and then blow-dried Hermione's hair.
"There. Now we need mousse and a curler," Usagi applied mouse to Hermione's hair, and Minako handed Usagi a heated curler. Usagi shook her head. "No, we should use magic. Hermione, do you know any spells to make hair curly?"
"Y-yeah," Hermione muttered a few words, and her hair fell in gentle curls.
"There, your hair's done. Now, we need clothes. Minako, bring back everything hip," Usagi ordered. Minako disappeared and came back with her arms loaded. Usagi chose a pale pink halter-top that covered her stomach and a pair of white hip huggers. She put a pink cap on Hermione's head, and completed the look with huge pink hoops.
"Make-up!" Minako squealed. She threw all of Usagi's make-up on Usagi's bed and Hermione sat down. Minako pulled out eyeshadow, foundation, blush, lip gloss, and just about everything else she could find. She put pink eyeshadow on Hermione, along with black eyeliner. Black mascara followed then pink blush and bubble gum lip gloss. Minako stood back and looked at Hermione. Usagi let out a low whistle.
"You look beautiful!" Usagi grinned. "Take a look." Hermione gasped when she saw herself in the mirror. She looked different. She wasn't so plain anymore. She could even call herself pretty. "Now, it's my turn!" Usagi pulled out a pair of black capris and a baby blue tank top that revealed her belly. She put on a pair of blue chandelier earrings, and a baby blue motorcycle cap (they're those hats that Britney Spears wears most of the time). She finished her look with a little sparkly blue eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and pink lip gloss. Minako giggled when she saw Usagi.
"You look completely luscious!" Minako twirled Usagi around, who laughed. "I bet Draco is gonna lick you all up!"
"Ew! Minako! That's so disgusting!" Usagi made a face. "But... I wouldn't mind!"
"Usagi!" Hermione scolded. "What would your mother say?" The three girls collapsed in a laughing heap. They got up after a while of talking, finding they had ten minutes to get to the feast.
"Usagi," Hermione smiled. "Thank you."
"For what?" Usagi frowned.
"For being my friend. I really appreciate it. Everyone sorta hated me because they said I was a know-it-all."
"That's B.S. My friend Ami used to be the same. But now, she's my best friend. She used to be one of the most popular girls at school after she became my friend."
"Really? That's awesome!"
"You do realize that we're getting stares, don't you?" Usagi frowned as boys goggled at her. Her tank top was a bit revealing.
"Usagi, they're staring at you. You should've worn something that covered more."
"Wait till they see me in my bikini. I plan on swimming in that lake next year."
"They'd die of shock." Hermione shook her head at Usagi. "You're hopeless. You're gonna break everyone's heart by the end of the year."
"There's only one heart I plan on getting, and that's Draco's"
"Come on, Usagi, look at all these hot guys. Why don't you make Draco a bit jealous?"
"That's a good idea," Usagi took in a deep breath as she went into the Great Hall. Most everyone was already seated. Usagi walked in with attitude, getting even more stares. Hermione's eyebrows were raised as she followed the blonde. Usagi blew kisses and winked at all the boys that were giving her looks. The boys seemed to melt under Usagi's glance. The girls threw jealous looks at Usagi, hanging onto their boyfriends. Usagi took a seat at her usual place, Hermione following.
"Usagi? Is that you?" Usagi looked up to find Fred staring at her.
"Yea, Fred?" Usagi smiled.
"You've completely changed!" George's eyes were wide.
"Of course, gorgeous, did ya really think I'd hang onto my ex?" Usagi winked at George, who blushed. "And anyways, this is what I wore in the muggle world. Of course, in this world, I'm expected to wear robes."
"I wish you were allowed to wear that all the time!" It was Usagi's turn to blush at Fred's comment.
"And anyways, we're having a party tonight," Usagi grinned as food appeared on platters. "Food!" Usagi dug in like her old self, losing all her dignity as she shoveled food into her mouth.
"Still the Usagi we know!" George laughed, digging into the food as well. Usagi flashed a smiled before returning to her food. After she was done, she pushed herself back. She felt full and warm. Usagi pulled out her boom box (it's the portable kind that doesn't need electricity; it needs batteries!) and tuned it into 95.5, turning down the volume so that only the people around her could hear. (If you live in northern Virginia, or DC, or southern Maryland, you'll know that 95.5 is lyk the best station ever!). She found Head Sprung by LL Cool J playing, and nodded her head to the beat. (I LUV dat song!!!!)
"I thought electronics didn't work around here," Harry frowned.
"They don't. My boom box is laced with magic," Usagi turned to face Harry.
"Oh. Hermione! Is that you?" Harry's eyes widened as he looked at a blushing Hermione.
"Bloody hell, what happened to you? You're acting like a girl!" Ron exclaimed.
"Well, I am a girl! Go bug someone else, Ron!" Hermione exhaled angrily.
"Yeah, Ron!" Usagi played Hermione's sidekick. "Go bug someone else!" Usagi found most everyone else finishing and sent a questioning look to Dumbledore. The headmaster gave a small nod and a smile. Usagi grinned and turned the volume all the way up. "Hermione?"
"Yeah?" Hermione turned to Usagi with a questioning look.
"Can you make this thing louder? I think the other people would appreciate some music."
"Of course! Sonorus!" the boom box echoed in the Great Hall. Everyone turned to stare at the Gryffindor table, unsure of what they were supposed to do. Usagi kicked George under the table.
"Georgie!" Usagi yelled loudly over the music. George turned red at his nickname.
"I prefer George, thank you very much!" George raised an eyebrow.
"Care to dance? What's a party without dancing!?!" Usagi stood as a slow song came on. She pouted, knowing how horrible she slow danced. George grinned and crawled under the table, popping up in front of Usagi a few seconds later.
"Of course! How can I resist such a beauty?" Usagi smiled as George led Usagi to the middle of the Great Hall. (NO this is NOT a George/Usa story; they're just friends!). George put his hands around Usagi's waist as the blonde put her arms around his neck. Surprisingly, Usagi danced gracefully with George, and was happy that Cosmos was back in her once again. They danced at a distance, receiving stares from everyone else. Another couple soon joined them. Usagi grinned.
"Yay! Finally. You'd think they've never seen people dance before! Too bad the lights can't go off." The lights turned out, as if Usagi's wish had been heard.
"You're a really good dancer, Serena!"
"Thanks. You're doing better than me! Where did you learn to dance like that?"
"I've had a lot of practice."
"Really?" Usagi raised an eyebrow, taking a closer look at George. She finally noticed how cute he was. Usagi smiled as another, much faster song came on (think something like Lean Back, by Fat Joe). Usagi started dancing to the beat. The witches around stared at her uncomfortably before copying Usagi's moves. Usagi danced with George for a few more songs before tiring out. She headed back to her seat, out of breath. Hermione was sitting there, watching everyone.
"Hermione?" Usagi frowned when she saw her friend sitting alone. "Why aren't you dancing?"
"I don't know how to dance," Hermione bit her lip.
"What are you talking about? You're muggle born! How can you not know how to dance?"
"Well, I'm not really the dancing type."
"Just go out there and do your thing! You'll find you know how to dance if you just follow the beat."
"I'm not so sure-"
Hermione was cut off when Usagi pulled her up and pushed her into the mob of dancing students. Usagi grinned and sat cross-legged on her seat, drinking a glass of pumpkin juice. She sighed at all the couples dancing, remembering how Mamoru had danced with her. Usagi stared into space dreamily.
"Tsukino, I have to say, you actually did something good for once," Draco's voice brought Usagi back to her senses. Usagi gave a wink and a smile.
"Duh. Who can resist music?" Usagi leaned back on the table on her elbows, closing her eyes, nodding to the music.
"What kind of music is this, anyways?" Draco demanded.
"It's muggle music. This is..." Usagi listened to the song for a moment. "This is Southside by Lloyd." Usagi opened an eye, finding Draco seated next to her. She closed her eye immediately, her heart beating faster. She suddenly remembered that she could talk to her scouts telepathically (is that what it's called?)
'Minako?' Usagi thought out. Minako answered immediately
'Yeah, Usagi? Is the party good?'
'It's awesome! But Draco is like right next to me, what should I do?'
'Act cool, and calm down. Just make some small talk.'
'Ok.' Usagi opened her eyes, straightening up. She willed herself to speak steadily.
"So, Malfoy," Usagi cleared her throat before moving on. "Um... Do you forgive me yet for the prank?"
"I guess I could..." Draco said thoughtfully. Usagi bit her lip. 'Oh my god, is it me, or did Draco inch closer?' "But even if I forgive you for the prank, it doesn't mean we're not enemies."
"Ok. So... Draco?" Usagi turned to face Draco, and found him looking at a pretty girl with shiny brown hair and light grey eyes. Usagi sighed, looking down. 'That's probably Pansy, Draco's girlfriend. Ugh, why would he be interested in me, anyways? It's not like I'm pretty.'
"Did you just call me Draco?" Draco's eyes were still on the girl. Usagi blushed furiously. She hadn't realized that she called Malfoy by his first name.
"I'm tired. Can't think straight." Usagi thought up a lie on the spot.
"Whatever, Tsukino." Draco leaned back on his elbows. He managed to keep his eyes on the brunette. But, because he leaned back at an angle, his hand lightly touched Usagi's back, and Usagi felt her back get all tingly. Usagi licked her dry lips before trying to start up a conversation again.
"Well, Malfoy, I guess I promised you I'd tell you about Mamoru sometime ago. Well, let me start off from the beginning. You know how I transform?"
"Yeah," Draco turned his head to get a better look at Usagi. Usagi was happy that the Hall was dark because she had turned a dark shade of crimson.
"Well, I turn into Sailor Moon. In Japan, there was a lot of evil stuff going on, so it was my job to get rid of it. I saved the world like five times, and I died three times, but was reborn, cause my destiny wasn't over yet, and crap like that. Well, I met Mamoru for the first time by battling a monster. He saved me. It happened a few more times after that and I guess I fell in love with him. We were together for around two years."
"Uh-huh," Draco's eyes followed the brown-haired girl again. Usagi leaned back, resting on her elbows once again. Usagi's elbow touched Draco's, and their hands dangled together. Usagi turned even redder. Usagi closed her eyes before continuing.
"Well, I defeated this person called Beryl. Unluckily, she was born again, even though she wasn't meant to. And then, everything started going downhill from there. Mamoru, he left me to go to Beryl. After I had given him all of my heart. I thought our love was unbreakable. So for two weeks, I was locked up in my room, depressed and crying. I came to my senses soon. I had to kill Mamoru in order to save this world, but Mamoru killed all of my friends. And now, he's back again, and he and Beryl has teamed up against someone I have never even heard of. They say he's more powerful than Chaos. His name is Voldemort."
Usagi heard Draco make a soft gasp at Voldemort's name. "I heard people here are scared to say his name even. And so, now, I have to kill Mamoru, Beryl, and Voldemort, and save this planet once again. I'm much stronger than before, of course. But I don't know. I still feel as if a small part of my heart is calling out to Mamoru, but the rest of my heart hates him. And, along with that, my age has been set back by like three years."
"Oh," Draco was still staring at the girl.
"So, who is she?" Usagi looked at the dancing brunette.
"Who?"
"The girl you're staring at."
"She's my girlfriend. Her name's Pansy Parkinson (I know, I know, I changed her appearance, but I had to!)."
"Oh," Usagi tried hard not to let the disappointment show in her voice, but she knew a little bit showed up anyways. "H-how have you been going out?"
"About a month. Why does it matter?"
"Oh, I'm just curious," Usagi looked down, sighing. "Malfoy?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm happy I was able to talk to you."
"Draco, darling!" A high voice made Usagi jump. Pansy was standing in front of Usagi and Draco, eyeing Usagi with distaste.
"Yes, Pansy?" Draco sighed.
"Join me for a dance?"
"Sure, gorgeous. Let's go," Draco got up, leading Pansy to the dance floor. Usagi felt warm where Draco had been touching her. Usagi watched Pansy and Draco slow dance, barely any air between them. Something like jealousy stirred up in her. Usagi shook the feeling away and just sat there, watching the boy she got a bigger crush on every day dance with his girlfriend. Usagi buried her face in her hands, and felt tears rise in her eyes. "Minako?" Minako appeared next to Usagi, concern on her face.
"I saw the whole thing, girl."
"Yeah, well, then why do I feel like crap?"
"Because he likes someone else."
"I wish I never met him. He's so hot, and I know, somewhere back in his mind, he has a caring part to him. The way he listened to what I said. I just like him even more now. And when his arm touched mine, I felt like my heart was about to explode out of my body. I feel like hating that Pansy girl, but I can't hate anyone. Ugh."
"Usagi! I saw the ENTIRE thing!" Hermione was shrieking as she took a seat next to Usagi. "Oh my GOD! He touched your ARM!!!"
"I know. But he likes Pansy. You should've seen the way he was staring at her. Now, I feel like shit."
"Usagi..." Hermione hugged Usagi. "It's ok. Their relationship will probably be over by the time they get out of school."
"Hermione, this is a long term relationship. After all, I stand for love and justice. I should know."
"No you don't!" Minako huffed. "I stand for love!"
"Go ahead and stand for love. Like love has done a lot for me," Usagi stared at Draco longingly. She took in a shaky breath. "Well. It's time to win him. My dancing's bout to become dirrrrtay!" Usagi got up, grinning as an upbeat song came on. She began to do the booty call. Boys whistled as she danced, moving her blessed body sexily. She saw Fred and George looking at her, jaws on the floor. Usagi continued, getting loathing looks from the girls. She looked around her, searching for Draco, and found him, his eyes drinking up her image, his face an expression of surprise. As soon as the short song ended, Usagi hopped back to her seat. A crowd of boys gathered around her asking her to dance. Here started her journey to Draco's heart.
I know, I know Usagi is way out of character, but still, she hasta find SOME way to get Draco!!!
