Woohoo, I updated this fic! It's been MONTHS. Well, I hope you guys do enjoy!


"I see you lookin' at my boy," Pansy narrowed her eyes. "Just to tell ya, darling, he's mine, so keep away."

Just as Usagi was about to reply, Pansy turned on her heel and walked away, swinging her hips with attitude. Usagi bit her lip, looking downcast, before making her way outside to get to the great hall. Upon reaching the great hall, she looked for a place to sit, and found that the Gryffindor table had no more available seats, so she settled at the Slytherin table all alone. Her heart lifted just a little when she saw Draco settle down next to Pansy. Pansy batted her eyelashes at him, looking at Usagi while giving him a peck on the lips. Usagi rolled her eyes, picking at her food. Usagi smiled softly as she leaned back in her seat, remembering the way Minako would fall head over heels for a boy. The way Makoto's eyes would shine at the sight of her current obsession. The way Ami would blush at the mention of her crush. The way Rei would fight with the man she loved. The way Mamoru used to treat her. When had it all gone? Where did her life end up?

"Nowhere," Usagi whispered as she pushed herself away. She would gladly give up her powers for her old life back. Getting up, Usagi swung her things over her shoulder and walked slowly to the exit, before a voice stopped her.

"What did you do to your hair, freak?" a cold, cold voice laughed. Usagi clenched her jaw.

"Draco," she said, acknowledging the tall blond in front of her. She turned to the brunette hanging onto his arm. "And Pansy."

"Who else would it be?" Pansy smiled. She winked at Usagi as she pulled Draco down in a deep kiss. Usagi looked away, disgusted. She suddenly got an idea and pointed her finger above Pansy's head. A shower of ice cold water poured out of nowhere, drenching Pansy and causing her eyeliner to run. Pansy's eyes grew wide and she sputtered water out of her mouth, gasping.

"Why you –you –you bitch!" Pansy shrieked, launching herself on Usagi. She pulled Usagi's hair as hard as she could, causing Usagi to scream.

"Get off of me!" Usagi yelled as she fell backwards, Pansy on top of her. The verbal exchange grew into an all out brawl, and a collection of people surrounded the two girls, chanting out names. In a growl of anger, Usagi pushed Pansy off of her and bounced up into a fighting position. She wiped blood off of her lip, her messy hair falling around her face. Pansy got up slowly, her breathing laborious. Draco stood to one side, looking highly amused. Pansy whipped out her wand and chanted a spell. Usagi was dumped with freezing water, her robes clinging to her body and her hair dripping wet. Usagi's eyes grew dangerous and stormy, swirling into dark blue. Using a bit of fire power, she dried herself off, calmly collected her things, and walked away, but not before sending a zap of electricity and an acne curse Pansy's way. Pansy shrieked angrily, but Usagi was already headed to her first class, Potions with Professor Snape.

Usagi walked down the damp, dark dungeons. A collection of students were already heading in, and Usagi was one of the last to be seated. Unluckily, her spot was near the front of the room, right under Snape's cold gaze.

"Welcome to another year," Snape's soft voice echoed in the silent room. "Ah, yes, Princess Usagi. What a royal surprise. Yes, yes, Tsukino is our new celebrity. Forget Harry Potter, Usagi Tsukino can easily outsmart and out power anyone that comes her way."

"You speak too kindly of me, sir," Usagi replied coolly, returning his glare. "I certainly cannot outsmart anyone. Out power, that may be on my list."

"Five points from Gryffindor for your cheek, Tsukino," Snape spat out. Usagi let a slow smile onto her face.

"You forget, Professor Snape, that I am currently a Slytherin," Usagi drawled out. Snape's eyes widened a tiny fraction, and he sputtered a little before regaining his composure.

"Then –you –I –as much as this pains me, class, Tsukino here has lost five points from Slytherin," Snape glared at Usagi. The rest of the class gasped slightly.

"Good going, Tsukino!"

"Ugh, why does that bitch have to be on Slytherin?"

"I can't believe you made him take points off of Slytherin!"

Other vicious comments filled the room, and Usagi found herself feeling small. She chose to ignore the comments, and instead, decided to go over the new powers that she had. This, however, did not stop the students from throwing stuff at Usagi, whose face was now scarred with a frown. Her anger slowly built as ink bottles and paper balls hit her on the back of her head.

"That is enough class," Snape demanded with a smirk. This was going to be fun.

Usagi sighed as she sat herself on the Slytherin table for lunch. The day had been horrible. First Snape, and then she had to sit through Professor Bin's boring discussions. And, to top it all off, she had extra homework for falling asleep in Bin's class and for talking back in Snape's. She didn't even feel like eating, and instead, picked at her food. To her surprise, Draco Malfoy rose out of his seat and made his way to the Gryffindor table, a scornful look on his face. Usagi decided to follow him, using 'seeing some friends' as an excuse. As she neared the table, she could hear words that made her blood boil.

"Ah yes, Potty and the filthy mudblood," Draco spat out. "Just think of the combination. How…. Disgusting."

"Go away Malfoy!" Hermione replied icily. Draco laughed.

"So the mudblood can speak!"

"Of course she can," Usagi said from behind Draco. As Draco whipped around, she tackled him to the ground, pinning his arms down with her knees, and grabbing a fistful of his robe to bring his face closer to hers. "Listen up, Draco. You talk to anyone like that ever again, you'll be sorry. Frankly, I ain't got time for your bull shit, and if anyone around here's dirty, it's you. Got it? Get it? Good." She glared at him for a few more minutes before scrambling up. Draco quickly stood, and spun her around when she tried to walk away.

"You filthy, disgusting bitch," his words were cold and jerky. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Your mama," Usagi replied, a hint of a smile on her face. Draco looked at her incredulously.

"What?"

"Draco, you think you're all that just because you have some money and you're a pureblood. You know what; you're nothing but an egotistical chauvinist pig. And that's an understatement," Usagi looked him up and down, her lips curled back in a sneer. Draco's eyes widened slightly, and suddenly, Usagi found him extremely unattractive.

"How dare you! I am a Malfoy; I refuse to be spoken to like that!"

"Malfoy my ass. Do I even look like I care? You're the same as everyone else. You have a heart, a brain, skin, you understand human feelings, and you have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, just like the rest of us," Usagi said calmly. "Other than the fact that you have an inflated ego and a matching personality to boot, you're just like the rest of us. So don't try that 'I'm better than you' shit."

Usagi fell back on her bed with a loud thump. Dumbledore still hadn't decided what to do with her yet, so she was stuck here. She didn't mind, really. It was just that things were getting complicated. And not only that, but it was way past midnight and she couldn't sleep a wink. She sighed before getting off of her bed and sneaking out of the room. Might as well get some exploring done since sleep wouldn't claim her. She looked to the left and then the right before tiptoeing down the hallway, intent on finding the kitchen. A late night snack wouldn't hurt. But where, exactly, was it?

"Oh, what's this I see?" a cackling voice appeared out of nowhere and a ghost showed itself, flashing its transparent teeth in a grin. Usagi rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, Peeves," Usagi replied. Peeves looked hurt.

"What, are you not scared of me?"

"Why would I be? You're just an annoying, stupid ghost."

"That hurt," Peeves commented, pouting.

"I'll take it back if you agree to take me to the kitchen."

"Anything for her highness," Peeves said. Even he wasn't stupid enough to fool around with the daughter of his queen. Although it would have been fun, he shuddered at the thought of what would happen to him. He led her through the hallways, throwing jokes and insults at her, ones which she replied with a smart tongue. Peeves grinned as he showed her the painting that led to the kitchens. He liked this princess.


Wow, I was rereading this and I realized how crappy this fic is, not to mention this chapter. Probably one of my worse fics. Actually, I think that I Want to Fly Again is, so this is second to last... in my opinion as a writer, of course.
