It had been four months since they had gotten all of their supplies. Over the three months they learned all they needed to know about the first, second and third years of class they would've taken at Hogwarts. They've been learning all new stuff this month.
Currently they lived in an old mansion I front of a mass amount of woods and yard around the house. The railroad station was down the road a couple miles from there. There driveway was miles long. They'd be going to school in September.
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.
Currently Makoto and Usagi were sneaking around in the back yard. They've been told not to go back there without someone there with them.
Luna had gone back to diagon alley to pick up their owls.
"Usagi I don't think we should be back here" Makoto murmured, sighing slightly. Usagi had been more like her self since the whole finding out about being witches. She still seemed to have little faith and hope in not only her self but the world.
"Oh come on Makoto-chan! I want to see what this whole ' Don't go in the back yard, beware of it' is all about. Besides we know enough to take care of ourselves" Usagi whined.
"Yeah I guess your right, so lets go get to it!" Makoto said cheerfully while grinning.
"Right on!" Usagi shouted but not to loudly.
After a while they came to a wall with stones and vines, it had a large wooden door with a large lock.
"Oh great how are we gonna get in!" Makoto whined.
"Easy, just watch and learn" Usagi said smirking.
"Aohomora!" the lock broke and then it fell to the ground.
Usagi grinned at her handy work she HAD been paying attention in classes unlike when she was studying boring stuff.
"Awesome" Makoto whispered.
"lets go" Usagi whispered opening the doors.
It was beautiful, a garden of many herbs, roses, flowers and plants. A thick forest behind it with all kinds of trees. The stonewall lined the outside of it.
"wow" both of them breathed in awe.
A noise started them that was in the forest.
"come on lets check it out" Usagi said.
Makoto didn't wish to go but she couldn't stop her so she went along to protect her.
When they entered the forest they saw pixies and fairy's fluttering about and shadows moving within the forests shade.
"Nothing like a regular forest" Usagi said softly when the pixies and fairies heard the noise they scattered and flew away.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you!" Usagi said quietly.
"Of course you didn't dear, they were just startled. Not many people venture into the forbidden garden." A soft voice called much like a mermaids call soft and soothing.
"Who ever you are come out and show us where you are" Makoto said standing in front of Usagi looking all which ways.
Out stepped a centaur but this one was very beautiful. She seemed 24 but they knew she had to be much older then that.
She was the size of a wild mare with a petite human body on the front. Her skin was slightly tanned and had short black hair that was spiked slightly. Her eyes opened to reveal soft pinkish orbs that shown wit kindness and beauty. She had a flower wreath around her had and vines on her horse body. It was an odd sight to see seeing as they learned how spiteful and ugly these creatures could be.
"How come you being nice to us?" Usagi asked curiously stepping out from behind Makoto.
"My name is Arifel and as you may be wondering I am not fully centaur, my grandmother was a Pegasus from the land of dreams much like Helios. The reason why I am nice to is because I am your guardian. As Helios is the prince of the sun and elysion, you are his sister Serenity. Not only that but I will teach you more things that will help you on your quest. Hard to believe yes I know but I was from the Silver Millennium and was your mother's guardian while Luna and Artemis were the advisers, I was the protector and teacher to you" she said looked at them.
"We what are you going to teach us" Usagi said sitting down.
"not here my dears. There are many creatures in this forest that would not like you because you are witches. We must go back the garden in which you came from." She said moving towards the entrance.
They nodded and followed he rout of the forest.
When they got their Usagi and Makoto sat down on a stone bench in the mysterious garden.
"Alright what have Luna and Artemis taught you so far?" Arifel asked
"1,2 and 3 years with some other stuff" Makoto said
"Well I am going to be teaching you your birthrights if you hadn't been reborn." Arifel said calmly.
"Really" Makoto asked
she laughed "of course, first off I can not teach you in the dark so you will have to head back and come back tomorrow. I will also be in the forbidden forest when you go to Hogwarts and if you need me I'll be there I will also teach you there."
"Cool" Usagi shouted.
"Hurry back now before it gets dark, I am sure Luna is back by now. He can inform you on the stuff I will be teaching.
They nodded and headed back locking the door on their way out.
When they got back to the house they saw Luna and Artemis waiting for them with their arms crossed.
"Um, hi?" Usagi said meekly.
"Hi? Do you know what you have done, what could have happened? No I bet not. So I will tell you. You went to the forbidden garden and could have been killed!" Luna said shouting.
"erm sorry?" Makoto said meekly.
"Never mind that how did you get back safely." Artemis said
"Arifel helped us, why?" Usagi said looking at the covered cages.
"Alright go take you owls we have some things we need to tell you" Luna said sighing.
"YEY!" Usagi yelled getting the blue covered cage and running to the living room with Makoto and her green covered cage.
"check out yours first Mako" Usagi said
She nodded and took the cover off. Inside was a baby owl with whites, browns and reds on it. Brown with a white patch around both eyes.
"Aww" they said grinned
"What are you gonna name her?" Usagi asked.
"she looks tough and strong willed I'll name her Hera" Makoto said smiling.
Usagi nodded it was a cute and strong hearted name.
Usagi then took of her cover and saw a cute little baby owl like Makoto's only black with auburn spots and a lone patch of red and white on its right eye.
The strange think about the birds was their eye color. Both had dark midnight blue eyes.
They cooed softly
"name?" Makoto asked.
"Dev" (pronunciation Daè-v) Usagi said softly.
"Dev?" Makoto questioned
"Meaning Devotion for faith, hope and affection."
"MAKOTO USAGI GET IN HERE" Luna called from the library.
"COMING" they shouted bringing their owls.
When they got there they all sat own.
"This will be shocking to you but…" Luna started.
