AN: Meep! I'm sorry! My computer died...literally, this time, not a bug like before. It was a 98, though, so it served me well into it's time of passing...unfortunately, it had to take all my files with it! I would growl in fury out loud, but I'm in the library. Oh, well... so anyway, extremely sorry about that.

Wow. My writing's really evolved since I started POH. And now that I reread it, it's really…bad. So I put it back on my computer and rewrote the first chapter. It's the same, just with better grammaticism and it's more…easier to read, if that makes sense. I'm going to put it up on the website for my account is on my profile page. So even if you don't want to reread it, maybe you could go look at my other art stuff.

So...here we go!


The Five point star( sans Draco) and Harry were serving detention the following night in Snape's class, all of them doing work, reading something incredibly boring, or plotting up Snape's death.

But not Harry.

Harry had deliberately finished his work early so he could talk to Neco. He thought to her and expected to feel that usual windy feeling he usually felt when they had telepathic communication. But instead, he felt cold and dark inside. He didn't hear her voice.

Neco? He tried harder. Neco?

He tried time and time again, but still no answer.

'One last time...'

NECO!

Neco was running, her bare feet sinking into the snow, her face flushed. She turned around mid-step and got hit in the chest with an orange beam. She blacked out and fell backwards into the lake at the mercy of the giant squid. Harry could feel the water closing over her head, her breath leaving her body...

"Neco!"

Harry bolted up. He was in the hospital wing, in his usual bed. Ron and Hermione were beside him.

"Neco, we have to save her, she's-"

"Slow down, mate." Ron said. "Who's Neco?"

"Harry, you blacked out in Snape's class, you were probably having a bad dream." Hermione told him. "Besides, there's no one here named 'Neco.'"

At that moment, Professor Dumbledore came in.

"Professor, Neco, this girl, she's outside, in the lake! She's going to die if we can't get to her!"

Dumbledore nodded, not asking any questions or even looking a bit confused. But that was Dumbledore for you. Harry tried to get out of the bed, and with a bit of stiffness accomplished his task.

"You two," The older man said, turning to Hermione and Ron, "Should wait for Madame Pomfrey to return from the dungeons and tell her to get a bed ready. Harry, come with me."

The two hurried out, Harry grabbing his cloak and Dumbledore conjuring one for himself. The cold air hit them as they opened the double doors. Harry looked down and saw footprints...Neco's footprints. They walked quickly to the lake and Dumbledore performed a spell that Harry could not hear because he was too wrapped up in his thoughts. They waited a few minutes, and then Harry saw a dark shape getting bigger in the water, bigger and bigger until a body hovered in front of them.

"No! It was Neco!" Harry exclaimed. The body was not Neco's, but Cosmos'. "I swear that I saw Neco, not Cosmos!"

"Harry," Dumbledore said, conjuring a stretcher for Cosmos, "Would you mind telling me who Neco is?"

The two walked the path to the school as Harry quietly explained that he had first heard Neco in his head after Voldemort had appeared, and how she returned at the Christmas ball (though he left the part out about going to the roof) and how he knew it was her who fell in the lake but he couldn't (or rather didn't want to) explain why. When they had reached the castle, Harry dearly wished he had just said he had seen someone fall into the lake instead of Neco, for he didn't want to break the promise he just broke about telling anyone about her. Yes, he had left out a few of the personal parts, but he had said who she was and how he had gotten to know her.


Neco?

No reply.

Neco!

Silence.

Neco, I'm sorry! Please, tell me where you are!

I'm right here, Harry.

"Neco!"

Harry opened his eyes and saw an added sight to the Gryffindor dorm that had not been there when he closed his eyes. Neco was in front of him, not harmed at all.

"Where were you? I thought I saw... I was trying to talk to you, and I had this... this image in my head, like when I was doing Occlumency, and you fell into the lake, but when we-"

"I did, Harry. You aren't going mad; I've told you this before."

"But you weren't there...it was Cosmos..."

"Was it?" She asked. "We both have similar features, and I do remember falling into the lake."

Harry wondered if she was right, and then decided to hope in the affirmative as to protect his sanity.

"But who was the one who cast the spell?" Harry asked her after his wishful thinking was over. Neco looked down, then back up at him.

"His name is-"

"Harry!"

Hermione and Ron came up into the dorm. Harry had turned his head to the two out of shock, but when he turned to look back at Neco, she was gone. Thoughts of insanity came back.

"Are you all right?" The brunette asked. "You looked so worried when you were talking about that girl...and when you came back in you just ran away..."

"...I'm fine." He said. "Really."

"So, who was that girl you were talking about, mate?" Ron asked.

"No one you'd know..." He said.


Cosmos, not unusually, spoke nothing of the matter, not even a simple 'thanks for saving my life' to Harry. As for him, he hadn't spoken to Neco since then, but for the night following when he made sure she was okay, and how she could apparate inside the school. Life would continue on as usual. Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Chibiusa, and Cho were these warriors from the planets, all senshi-knights save for Hermione who had yet to find whoever's power she was supposed to take, Cosmos would have to go into the Cauldron to fix time-space and Tonks would come in and display her shape shifting abilities (she was something called a metamorpmagus), and Harry would continue to fail in Snape's class. All was normal, end of story.

Yet, the story won't end because there are still many plot holes to be filled in with the cement of plot fillers.

So, guess what? I'm going to skip ahead!

It was April when we rejoin our people we love and hate. Although the end of year exams weren't as hard as the OWLs of the NEWTs, the sixth years felt like it was last year all over again. (Though I'm not sure I put the OWLs into full detail in POH, that's only because I really didn't understand them that much...) But anyway, no one dared tempt Hermione even though she no longer held the title of prefect.

"I don't like Snape." Chibiusa said quite plainly at lunch. "And he doesn't like me either."

"I don't understand why Dumbledore keeps him on." Ron said.

"It is a question that will never be answered in this universe because the author has no clue herself." Said a random girl walking past them

"Oh." Harry said. "That explains a lot of things."

"Like how I was prefect at the beginning of the story and just a paragraph ago I lost my title." Hermione said.

"Or why I couldn't find Ginny at the Christmas Ball." Ron added. A few seats down, Ginny choked on her soup.

"You know what else is weird?" Hermione asked. "At beginning of the year, there were all these demons and stuff attacking the school, attacking us...now they just kind of...disappeared."

Another mysterious girl walked past their table.

"The person who is in control of your destiny didn't understand things and has an annoying tendency to be lazy." She said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Huh." Hermione said. "That's comforting."

"That scares me." Ron said with a genuine look of fright over his face.

Just then, Cosmos, with Draco and Cho behind her, approached the table.

"Come with us." She said. "There is something that needs to be discussed.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Chibiusa got up, but Cosmos made a motion and told them that she only wanted the girls. It was a Senshi-Knight thing. Of course.


"Harry is the sixth point."

This statement was made by Snape to The Five-Point star in his unfeeling classroom of doom.

"What!" Ginny squeaked.

"Isn't the sixth supposed to be the 'most distant?' That's what the book said!" Hermione exclaimed.

"He is the 'most distant' when you think about it." Cosmos said. "Draco hates him, Cho has been uneasy around him ever since the whole Cedric thing, Ginny avoids him so he doesn't judge her, Chibiusa mainly likes to socialize with people her own age, and Hermione-"

"But," Hermione interrupted. Did Cosmos know about…it, she thought to herself. "It's impossible!"

"Is it?" The cherry-haired girl asked. "Hermione obviously has to draw her power from Harry -- yet she hasn't."

"Why does it have to be like that?" Ginny asked.

"Because they're lovers?" Chibiusa asked.

"Oh, no." Cosmos said. "And besides, how do we know that they still have the same love for each other that the y did last year?"

"But didn't we, the Five-Point Star of the future, I mean, change our…er, I mean, the present us…um, didn't they change our memories? And didn't Hermione and Chibiusa say when they were changing our memories that they would be 'together forever?'" The hopeless romantic that was Cho said.

Cosmos laughed solemnly.

"Chibiusa and Hermione of the future were not casting a spell, nor chanting a hex or reciting a curse…" She said. "They were simply making you, who had lost your memory of half of the school year; think that nothing out of the ordinary had happened until some of the damage was undone. I'm actually surprised you believed it for that long."

Hermione shifted uneasily.

"But that isn't the point." Cosmos said. "You all know the legend. Both Harry and Hermione will need to have power for the battle. And they both need it from each other. One of them is going to die."

There was a short silence, broken by Draco.

"What battle?" He asked. "Who is there to battle?"

"And why were those…monster things here at the beginning of the year?" Cho asked.

"I'd like to know that as well." Snape said. "And also to why you have called me here."

"…I'd like to answer Cho's question first." She said. "You know that before I came here, I guarded the Cauldron, a resting place for all souls who have perished in the Silver Realm. As you know, the Five-Point Star gains their true forms when they draw power from another, someone close to them, true? But would these people know that they were the ones? And do you think that they would just give away this power, let alone know how? No, it had to be given away willingly. And how could this be accomplished?"

"If they were in danger!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Yes." Cosmos said. "And that's why I had to revive some of the monsters of old. It took a while, but eventually, all but Hermione transformed into their true forms. I began wondering and then me and my dear-"

Snape raised his eyebrows.

"…Professor figured it out."

"And the battle?" Ginny asked. Cosmos sighed.

"You died." She said simply. "Last year, you went to the past to fight a battle and died. And then you were brought back here by yourselves. Queen Serenity thought that it was over when she gave her life to seal it all away. But Mettalia…just a fragment was left. And then she was killed by you. You of the future, I mean. And all was done."

"So you're saying…" Ginny said.

"The future is now." Cosmos said. "We must first go to the moon of present and unite the Five-Point Star for the first time. Then, we will get the sword in the stone and go to the moon of the past, kill Mettalia, retrieve your bodies, come back and alter a few minds, and then come back. Simple, save for the fact that one of us is going to die, Mettalia is quite a worthy opponent, and transferring bodies is quite a tedious process."

More silence.

"I leave you to think this over. Go ahead and tell Harry so he can have his emotional phase. Goodnight." And with that, they were ushered from the classroom, door shut behind him. And then Hermione broke down in tears.


"So why am I here, other than for your amusement?" Snape asked.

"One, you are a great warrior. Your assistance is needed." Cosmos said.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to do, go back to that place again and witness Serenity's death again." He said.

"…You still love her?" Cosmos asked.

"…No. She's just a memory. It was many years ago." He said walking to his desk. "You had another reason?"

"Yes. You know my little secret, correct?" Cosmos continued.

"Unfortunately."

"I have a message from her." She said. "A very confidential message."

"More of her complaints, I'm sure." He said.

"Oh, only one. And it's more of an apology."

Snape shuffled through papers.

"Would I tell you about it in this state if it weren't important? Her heart is beating fast, she is nervous. Please, let her speak." Cosmos said.

Snape stared for a moment and then nodded. Cosmos closed her eyes, and no more was seen of Severus Snape and Cosmos for the rest of the night and some of the morning.


That is all. Please review and..stuff. And sorry that I had to change how Neco and Harry communicate, but I couldn't put the little cokewave thing up.
