A Sailor Moon/Harry Potter Crossover By Tsunami Starsheart
Chapter Ten
"Albus! I can't believe you!"Mina scowled at the old man who was just sitting in the large wingback chair smiling slightly. "That was not the way to go about introducing the magical world to Usagi!"
Usagi was currently in a state of deep sleep on a day bed next to the wall. Mina glanced again at her princess.
"How would you have done it Mina? And besides which, I thought she already knew of the magical world due to her time as a sailor senshi. " The blonde faltered for a moment then conceded and decided to just glare at Dumbledore. "Did your friend Rei arrive safely to Lupin Manor?"
"Yes of course. Though why she was sent there is still beyond me. Mind explaining?" Mina put her hands on her hips. "Is there anything else you'd care to tell me?"
"In good time... I'm just waiting for a few more to arrive. Please take a seat." His eyes twinkled. "Might I tempt you with some Australian Licorice? I've recently started eating it and I find it to be quite delicious."
Mina continued to glare.
"Lita!" Remus Lupin pulled his niece into a strong embrace. "I've missed you so much!"
Grinning Lita hugged back with as much enthusiasm."Uncle Rem-chan!"
Almost immediately they began to chatter with each other insesintly, moving from the living room in to the kitchen.
"So tell me Rem. What have you been up to?" Lita pulled up a chair and sat on it backwards facing his back as he started making tea.
"Well you know... this..that...I was a teacher at Hogwarts for awhile... " He looked over his shoulder and smiled gently. "I've also of course been working to bring down the Dark Lord."
Lita nodded solemnly, her hand unconsciously wrapping around the wand in her pocket, her other hand grasping the henshin brooch hanging from her neck beneath her robes. "And that?"
"We can only do so much...No one knows where he is..And those who do are either dead, dying, insane, or untrustworthy." Remus set a tea pot on the table and filled a cup for his niece. "That's not even touching on the fact that even if we knew where he was no one knows how to defeat him.. If I didn't know better I'd swear he were immortal..invincible..."
"We?" Lita righted herself in the chair and took a sip. "Who is this we? I'm sure I could help you find him. In fact my friends and I have become rather good experts at this sort of thing." she placed her hand over his. "And I can tell you right now from personal experience... No one is invincible..nor are they immortal..." Lita winced slightly as if from a bad memory.
Remus paled when he realized what he'd said. "We.. as in the.. magical community.. everyone is looking for him.. he's the greatest evil we've ever known." His blue eyes frowned with the rest of his face. "I have no doubt that you or any of your friends could help..but..I don't want you exposed to such danger.." Remus squeezed her hand in response. "What do you mean Makoto?"
"I.."Lita looked down and pulled her wand out of her pocket and looked at it as if it were a treasure. " I could never deny that the day you took me into the world of magic was one of the most pivotal of my life..but...something else had come into play in the time that we have been apart... Just a few years ago... When I had transferred to a new school yet again.. I met my first true friend... Through her many others... More than that... A world.. a life I'd only dreamt of.. Dreams and memories.. all revealed as truthes... I became once again what is a deep part of myself... I am a-"
Lita cut off at the sound of a sharp rapping at the door. "Remus!" A woman's voice could be heard yelling. Moving quickly he went to the front of the building and let a pink haired woman enter the house. "Quickly!" She motioned for someone to follow her in. "Ok Remus. Here she is. Don't break her."
Remus rolled his eyes as the pink haired woman vanished with a soft 'pop!'.
"Come this way dear.." Remus led the young woman into the kitchen where Lita was still seated.
"Makoto?" Rei's eyes widened again. "Kuso! What is going one here? First Minako! Now you! That strange Tanka woman! Riding on flying brooms?"
"Rei..." Lita stood up and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I take it you know each other?" If Remus was surprised he hid it well.
"Hai. She's one of the friends I was telling you about." Lita gently moved Rei into a chair. "I think we'll need another cup. And you better have some good explanantions mister." Lita gave Remus her most serious look.
Stretching her legs, Ami left the plane. A sign with the name 'Mizuno' written across it caught her attention at once and she nodded to the driver.
Taking her luggage, the cheaufer led her out to a classic Rolls Royce and proceeded to drive her off to the reunion.
"Ah!" Michiru sat striaght up in bed. "Haruka!" The Neptune soldier turned on the lights as her lover awoke next to her.
"What's the matter?" Haruka pulled Michiru into her embrace, brushing her aqua hair out of her face.
"The princess is in grave danger!"
Mina stood up sharply when Severus Snape walked into the office. "What's he doing here!" Her happy blue eyes darkening as they met the potion masters'.
"Trust me Weston I'm not exactly pleased to see you either." Snape sat down in the chair Mina had been in.
"Severus. How kind of you to join us." Albus stood and drew up a tea pot steaming from the spout in mid air."Was it there?"
"No sir." Severus shook his head and took the cup offered to him. "And several other gems are missing for that matter. Weston..stop gaping and sit down."
Mina closed her mouth and crossed her arms. "Funny..I wasn't aware that you had any say over my actions Severus." Her eyes took on a cold gray hue in anger. "What gems does he speak of sir?" Mina looked to Dumbledore.
"Soon Venus..soon.." The door opened again and a woman dressed in a sailor fuku with floor legnth black hair entered. "No we must attend to the coming revolution."
