Notes: Hey sorry it's been so long I lost the chapter. It was deleted so I had to start over cry I guess I didn't get this one up sooner then the last after all. Oh well at least it's done and now you can enjoy the story. Oh right quick. Hotaru doesn't really know how to use contractions so if she talks weird in English that's why.
"Bring her here," said a cold high voice to his followers. Immediately, two of them left the room only to return a few minutes later with a pink-haired girl who looked no older then twelve. They threw her to the feet of their cloaked master.
She quickly stood up. "Wh-who are you and what do you want!" she belted with what little courage she had.
He smirked and replied, "I am Lord Voldemort and I want information." The girl looked back at him unsure of what he meant by "information". "I want to know about your powers and the one called Sailor Moon."
His voice sent a shiver down her back, but she wasn't going to say anything. She was determined to not give anything away. She wanted to say "NO, I'll never tell you anything", but she seemed to have misplaced her voice. Instead she just stood there silent.
Then Voldemort began to speak again, "This is our first meeting so I'll warn you now I'm not very patient and unless you wish to undergo a pain like none that you have ever felt, I suggest that you tell me everything I want to know."
His cold voice seemed to have pierced right through her. She knew that she couldn't just stand there, but her whole body felt numb. "Now tell me, girl, what is the source of your power," he repeated in his high cold voice.
Her voice suddenly and with out warning came back to her and she blurted out, "NO!"
"No?" he asked.
The girl decided that she had nothing left to lose so she pulled out her wand and cried "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!"
He disappeared and the attack hit the chair which exploded on impact. Not more then a mid-second later did he reappear next to her. "I warned you," he started slowly, a grin spreading across his face. Two of his minions grabbed the girl from behind. "Now you will pay for what you've done." He held up his wand and… then he lowered it again. He looked as if he had just realized something both hateful but pleasing. It was a look of an evil pleasure. He then muttered something that the girl could barely make out… "Harry Potter."
Harry could hear Voldemort's voice inside his head, but he wasn't in his own head he was seeing what Voldemort was seeing. He saw him send the Death Eaters and a strange girl with pink hair from the room. Once they were alone Voldemort spoke again.
"Harry Potter. I didn't expect you to be so eager to return to my mind, especially after what happened last time you had a look at what I was up too. I'm sure Black would be proud to hear that your taking risks, but who should it kill this time?"
Harry could feel his temper rise unfortunately this was exactly what Voldemort was hoping for. Voldemort shoot his way into Harry's mind. Harry could see his past fly before him in a swirl of memories. He saw the Dursleys ordering him to his room after all of Dudley's balloons had mysteriously popped at his sixth birthday party. He saw His first day in the fourth grade. He saw Ron and Hermione doing homework in the common room in their first year. Then he saw Cho and Ceddric at the Yule Ball. Then he saw Moody who was about to show him the paper that had the ware bouts of the Order's headquarters.
"NO!" Harry yelled as he pulled himself awake. He looked around, but everything was fuzzy. After putting his glasses on, he realized that he was in the hospital wing. Harry put a hand to his scar which was burning. Then his worst fears were realized. He could feel Voldemort there. He was now seeing what Harry was seeing. 'How do I get him out?' Harry asked himself.
"You can't," a cold voice inside his head replied. This sent a chill down Harry's back. Voldemort could hear his thoughts.
"Umm… you feel right," said a girl with an Asian accent. Harry looked over. A girl with long blond hair was sitting next to another girl who was in the bed beside him.
"Errr… yah. I'm fine," Harry replied thinking how stupid he must look and then he remembered Voldemort, but Harry could no longer feel him there. Harry felt like a huge weight had been lifted off him, but Voldemort's words still burned in his mind, "Who should it kill this time?" Then Harry heard the girl talking to someone else in another language. He looked over and saw that the other girl had awakened. The other girl had short black hair, but Harry couldn't make out any more in the dark.
"(Do you know who he is)," Usagi asked Hotaru looking over at the boy next to Hotaru's bed.
"(No, he was out when I found him)," Hotaru replied. "(I didn't really find out much about what was going on)."
"(Should we talk to him?)" Usagi asked. The boy appeared to be wide awake and there really wasn't much else to do.
"(Yah, I'd really like to know what that strange creature was anyway)," Hotaru replied and then turned to the boy. "Umm… Hi, my name is Hotaru. What is yours?"
"Err… I'm Harry Potter," the boy replied.
"You're Harry Potter!" Hotaru exclaimed recognizing the name immediately from Rei's vision. She turned and looked at Usagi and told her what he said. Then she too had a stunned look on her face.
"And what's your name," he asked turning towards Usagi as if this was a normal reaction to telling someone your name.
"Oh her name is Usagi," Hotaru replied. "She does not know a lot of English."
"So you're from another country?" Harry asked.
"Yes. We are from Japan," replied Hotaru.
"What brings you to Hogwarts," he inquired. Hotaru hadn't expected him to ask this, but before she could answer the door opened. A nurse entered and started complaining about Harry and Hotaru being awake. She scooted Usagi out and then turned to Harry and Hotaru.
"I'm surprised you two didn't wake up the others," she said crossly.
"Others?" Harry asked looking over. He then saw Ron and Ginney who were lying on the two beds on the opposite side of Harry.
"Yes, yes. They were poisoned just like you were," She went on pouring a purple liquid into a cup."
"I was poisoned?" Harry asked confused. He hadn't thought of why he was in the Hospital wing till now and he wondered why he hadn't thought of that earlier.
"Yes and your lucky that this girl saved you," she replied handing the drink to Hotaru and then pored another for him. "Still not sure what she did, but if it weren't for her, you'd be dead right now."
Harry looked at Hotaru stunned. 'How could all of this have happened with out me knowing it,' Harry thought as he took the cup from Madam Pomfrey absentmindedly.
"Now get to sleep. Both of you," she said and watched as they both drank the substance and fell asleep almost immediately afterward.
Harry awoke the next morning feeling refreshed, but then he remembered what happened the night before. Harry looked over to see if Hotaru was awake, but she wasn't there.
"Harry!" Hermione squealed as she entered the room, then ran over and gave him a hug. "Oh I was so worried."
"Hermione get off him before you choke him to death."
"Ron," she said excitedly, "you're awake." She then she proceeded to give him a hug too.
"It's hard not to with the racket you were making," he replied and Hermione shot him an angry look. "Not sure how Ginny's still asleep."
"I'm not," Ginny said groggily.
"See. Ginny couldn't even sleep through it," Ron pointed out.
"It wasn't her. I've been awake for awhile," Ginny replied. "It was your snoring that woke me up."
Hermione, Harry, and Ginny all laughed and Ron's ears turned pink.
"What happened anyway," Ron asked now realizing that he had no idea why he was in the hospital wing.
"Yah, last thing I remember was feeling a little dizzy on the train," Ginny said, with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'm not exactly sure myself," Hermione replied. "You three collapsed and so I called for help. Then this Asian girl came and found this creature called a Kilta, which kind of looks like a butterfly, but anyways, Moody came in and said that it poisoned you. Then the girl said something in another language to Moody and then she did something weird to all of you. After that she passed out. Moody made a port key and took you to the school right away along with the girl."
"What did the girl look like?" Harry asked remembering Hotaru.
"Well, she had short black hair and she looked about fourteen," she replied and then paused to think. "Uhhh… she was about this tall I guess." She held her hand up to show that the girl was a bit shorter then she was. "Let's see… That's all I can really remember. Why?"
"She was here last night," Harry informed them and they all stared at him.
"But then where did she go?" Ginny asked.
"I'm not sure. She was gone when I woke up," He replied.
"And I didn't see her when I woke up," Ginny said, "and I was up at six."
"Then she must have left before then," said Hermione, "but why?"
"She probably didn't feel like hanging around here, in fact," said Ron as he got out of bed. "I don't want to stay here either."
"But why so early and wouldn't Madam Pomfry object to her leaving without a full night's rest?" Hermione pointed out.
"Well," Ron started but couldn't think of anything to say so he remained silent.
"Maybe she snuck out," Ginny suggested.
"Why?" Hermione asked again and no one answered.
"She wasn't the only other one in here last night," Harry said breaking the silence.
"What?" Ron exclaimed.
"She had a friend with her who was also Japanese," Harry replied.
"Did you talk to them?" Hermione asked and Harry nodded. "Well, what did they say?"
"They said that their names are Hotaru and Usagi," Harry answered and then told them everything that he could remember.
"That's strange," Hermione said softly.
"Yah, What are they doing at Hogwarts?" Ron asked. "Was there some kind of announcement about this Hermione?"
"No. Dumbledore didn't say anything about this," Hermione replied dream-like as if she was in such a deep thought that nothing could snap her out of it.
"Time to get up," said Madam Pomfrey as she entered the room and gave them each their own set of robes. "The Headmaster wants to speak with you." She continued sounding annoyed at the fact that she wouldn't be able to keep them for longer. They pulled the screens around all of their beds and got dressed. They then left for Dumbledore's office, escorted by Professor McGonagall
"Why does Professor Dumbledore want to see us?" Hermione asked Professor McGonagall as they walked down a deserted corridor. All of the students were in class now.
"He wants to ask you four some questions about what happened yesterday," she replied with out looking back at them. They glanced at each other, but didn't say any thing. They remained silent until they came to the familiar statue that led to Dumbledore's office.
"Chocolate frogs," Professor McGonagall said and the statue leapt aside revealing a moving stair case. "Come on now," she said as she hurried them all in and then the statue moved back to its place. They rose till they reached a door at the top of the stairs. Professor McGonagall opened it and announced their arrival to Professor Dumbledore who was standing next to his desk feeding his pet phoenix Phorks.
"Please sit down," said Dumbledore and instantly four chairs appeared out of nowhere.
"I'll be going now," said Professor McGonagall as she made for the door.
"Very well Minerva," Dumbledore replied and McGonagall closed the door behind her.
Everyone sat in silence for awhile until Ron started, "Err… Professor what…"
"We are waiting for someone," Dumbledore replied, but almost as soon as the words were out of his mouth the door opened behind them to reveal…
"Moody?" said Harry in surprise.
He smiled at him, which wasn't exactly pleasant due to all of his scars, and said, "Hello Potter, Weasleys, Granger."
"Please have a seat," said Dumbledore again summoning a chair out of thin air. Moody thanked him and sat down.
"Now then we shall get started," said Dumbledore looking at Harry through his half moon spectacles. "Do you know what attacked you?"
"It was a Kilta," Hermione replied knowledgably.
"And do you know what a Kilta does?" asked Moody.
"It poisons things," Hermione replied.
"Do you know why?" Moody inquired further.
Everyone turned to Hermione, but she just shook her head looking disappointed in herself.
"Very well," started Moody, "I'll explain. A Kilta, though it seems harmless, can be deadly, as I'm sure you've noticed. It turns invisible and flies around its prey slowly poisoning it over the course of a few days to a week. Then after the poison takes affect it eats its victim."
Everyone sat silently wondering why they were being told this after the matter was already taken care of except for.
"Now how do you suppose it poisoned you if you were only out side of that room for a few hours," Dumbledore asked leaning a little closer.
Harry felt like someone who was just caught stealing and slumped a little in his seat. He could feel everyone's eyes upon him. "I left the room," he admitted and at once Hermione ambushed him with her disapproval.
"Calm down, please," said Dumbledore and Hermione silenced at once looking embarrassed by acting that way in front of the Headmaster.
"Have I taught you nothing?' said Moody angrily. "After all the trouble we went through to keep you safe. I've always thought you to be bright, but THIS…"
"Alestor," Dumbledore interrupted in a firm but calm voice and Moody fell silent immediately. "It was vital that we understood how it got there and hearing that it was because of a foolish mistake is somewhat reassuring." Seeing Harry's, along with everyone else's, confused face he explained, "The other explanation is that Voldemort has found a way to penetrate even some of our most highly guarded areas."
"Voldemort," Harry exclaimed out of shock. Ron, Ginny and even Hermione flinched a little from hearing his name, but Harry didn't care. "Voldemort sent it?"
"But of coarse he did. How else would it have gotten there," Hermione replied. Now that Harry thought about it, it made sense and he felt a little stupid for not seeing it sooner.
"Yes he sent it and you need to be on alert in case he sends anything else," said Moody in a harsh tone. Just then the bell rang for the first class to end.
"We'd better get you to your class Hermione," said Dumbledore as he, Moody, and Hermione rose. "You three can go to the great hall and get something to eat. I am sure that you are starving having missed dinner and breakfast." They were, but hadn't really taken notice of it until just then. "Oh, and, before I forget, here are your schedules," he said as he handed one to each of them, except Hermione who had gotten hers that morning.
They began to look them over, but just then the door opened. "Have you finished Headmaster?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"Yes Minerva," Dumbledore replied, "You may take them down. I trust you can find your own way Ms. Granger."
Hermione nodded and left. Soon Harry Ron and Ginny followed her, but as soon as they left room Harry paused. "Wait Professor, I forgot to tell Dumbledore something."
"Make it quick Potter," she called after him as he dashed back into the room.
"Back so soon Harry?" Dumbledore asked upon seeing Harry.
"Err… Professor, I need to tell you something," Harry said.
"Go right ahead," Dumbledore replied and reconjured one of the chairs. Then he, Harry and Moody, who was still in the room, sat down.
"Last night I went inside Voldemort's mind again," Harry began. Moody looked fit to kill though Harry figured that this was just him being extra serious and Dumbledore merely closed his eyes for a moment and then urged Harry on. Before Harry could get the words out of his mouth the door opened again.
"Potter, are you finished yet?" asked McGonagall testily.
"No Minerva," Dumbledore replied. "You may go ahead. Alestor can take Harry down."
"Very well," she answered and closed the door.
"Please Harry continue," said Dumbledore and Harry resumed. He tried to recall everything that happened. He remembered the Death Eaters, a pink-haired girl… Then Harry realized that he had no idea what they said. They were speaking another language. The same language that those girls in the Hospital wing were speaking. When he told them this they looked at each other and questioned Harry thoroughly about the pink-haired girl. Harry was surprised that she interested them so much, but ignored his curiosity. Then Harry told them about Voldemort entering his mind. Again they looked at each other except this time it was a look of concern.
"Harry, you understand that this is a serious matter," started Moody, "and I'm afraid that it will cost you some of your freedom." Harry's spirits fell upon hearing this. He had been looking forward to the freedom he could only experience at Hogwarts and now that was being taken from him as well.
"First you will have to give up your free time in the afternoons to learn Occlumency from me," Dumbledore instructed. "Secondly, you are not permitted to leave the grounds under any circumstances. Thirdly, you will be followed at all times by one of the members of the order or a teacher. More restrictions maybe necessary at a later point in time, but that will be all for now."
"I'll take you down now Potter," said Moody as he and Harry stood up and then made their way towards the door.
After walking for a while a question popped into Harry's mind, "Who were those girls that were in the Hospital wing last night?" When Moody didn't reply Harry continued, "The foreign girls. Are they exchange students?"
"You went through a lot last night Potter," Moody began, but Harry couldn't see how this could have answered his question. Just as Harry was going inform Moody of this, he continued, "You may have thought you saw someone, but there are no foreign exchange students here."
Well that's it I'll get the next one up sooner I promise. It's still going to take me a while to get it up because I'm going to finish my teen titans story first, but that shouldn't take too long (I'm almost done YAY!) Comments please
