~#*(LAST TIME)*#~
"Because the last time we let our guard down, a bit over a thousand years ago, we were attacked by Earth and it's armies whom were at the time under a witch of your kind's spell, and we were almost completely destroy. We will not risk the new alliance a second time. That is why so many do not like your kind. You're easily swayed."
"But that's not true! Sirus answered Pluto in an almost urgent voice.
"What can I say..."
Saturn rolled her eyes, "Welcome to our world."

Chapter 15 - You're Alive? You're WHO?
The group had been walking through the green hedge maze for over an hour and a half now. Some students asked why they couldn't just cut straight through and Mars, Venus, Saturn, Moon and Pluto just laughed as if it were the most hysterical thing in the world. Moon was the first to calm down and she explained that the Vines were actually leaves of pure energy and could not be simply 'cut through' by anyone but a Jovian. Not to mention the hedges were actually very dense silver and red-rose bushes therefore the thorns would probably hurt if they even tried.
"How much longer?" whined Parkinson as she held onto Draco's arm, while he attempted to shake off the nagging annoyance,
"Parkinson, shut up and get the hell off me!" he hissed, barely controlling his anger. This walk seemed too damn familiar and it was frankly freaking him out. Every two seconds, images were hitting his mind and he did not know what to make of them. They were taking a serious toll on his mood.
"Sweetie, you don't have to act. Tomoe isn't here so you can show your feelings for me openly!" she was off in lala land again... damn.
"Get the hell off me Parkinson before I blast you into the next damned realm," he was losing it so he yanked his arm away from her and sped up, closer to the front to get away.
They turned the next corner and many of the students gawked at the serene vision before them.
In the centre of the clearing they had just entered, lay a large beautiful golden fountain, with sparkling clear water and many jewels embedded into it to form flowers, and symbols, bringing out several different images instead of it's original one only. There was a tree to their right and sparkling topaz swing hung from it. There were beautiful flowers around the whole area and it gave off a sense of calm to all whole stared at it.
On the swing sat a young woman dressed in a beautiful emerald dress and her long red curled hair tumbled down in beautiful glossy locks behind her. There was a fine golden crown atop her head and emerald studs around it glistened in the light reflected off the water and gems of the fountain nearby. A man stood behind her dressed in a gold sort of tuxedo with emeralds placed strategically around the ensemble. His jet black only the crown atop his own head, which was identical to the one the woman wore, tamed his wild hair. He also wore a flowing green cape.
Their backs were to the students and the two seemed to not notice them as the man laughed a strangely familiar laugh, while gently pushing the woman on the swing as she spoke in a soft gentle voice.
"Your majesties!" exclaimed all the scouts once they had made it into the clearing. They instantly moved to the front of the crowd and bowed to the couple that had yet to turn. The man spun his head slightly and saw the senshi. He smiled and turned around completely with a huge welcoming smile on his lips. The woman had turned her head to them though she did not get off the swing.
"Why hello you lot. I have not seen the five off you at the same time since... I think it was young Serenity's engagement ball." smiled the man whom seemed to be as regal as a king though to some, he looked frightfully familiar.
"Who are they?" asked the woman who could not see the group properly as the majority were still hidden around the corner of the hedge.
"These are-" Mars started but was cut off by the 'King'.
"Wait a moment. Those are Hogwarts school robes." he exclaimed happily
"Yes your majesty. These are the students that Queen Selenity invited here to the moon," said Venus with a short bow, then she rose to her feet.
"Hogwarts, I would like to introduce to you the King and Queen of Jupiter," said Pluto as the students all shuffled into the clearing, "King James Zeus III and Queen Lilieth Hera III." she sent a
Mind message to them all to bow and they did as ordered.
"Well, since Selenity intends to reveal all sooner or later, then I guess you'll be seeing quite a few familiar faces around here." smiled the Queen as she rose to her feet and turned around to them, her beautiful deep emerald eyes softening after landing on a certain young man who was staring at them in confusion.
King James nodded in agreement as he looked at the man with hair back in a ponytail. Sirus was staring in complete confusion at the King, he looked exactly like James... minus the crown and overly designer robes, but it was painfully hard to look at the man and know his best friend was dead.
Suddenly a jolt of lightning struck the fountain and all the hedges glowed for a moment, "Oh dear, the hedges have moved again." sighed the Queen as she closed her eyes and let her senses flow around mapping the maze in her mind again.
"Your majesties would you care to accompany us back to the palace?" asked Saturn
"Why not we were going to head up there ourselves but I think your company may need to rest a little while," grinned King James as he motioned to the tired looking students.
"Yes too true." Moon winked at him and turned to the students. "You all must be famished and thirsty. Please sit we will eat here and drink too." she smiled when they looked at her like she was crazy. " Oh and just so you know, this part of the maze was contributed by Mercury and Venus."
Venus stepped up to the fountain and laid her hand on a few of the jewel arrangements. Suddenly low pop was heard and elaborate tables and chairs appeared, each weighed down with delicious looking food and drink. "Enjoy." Venus gave a soft smile and went to sit at the table nearest her.
When the students didn't move, Mars sighed then smiled, "The food is not poisoned, and you wont get another chance to eat or drink until we reach the palace at sun down. Which is in about four hours. That is when dinner with her majesty Queen Selenity is served."
The King and Queen moved to sit with Venus and the rest of the Senshi followed. The teenagers quickly swarmed to the food roughly 10 to a table. Black continued to stare at the King in confusion until Saturn lifted her hand and waved the three guardians over. "Mr. Black, Mr. Malfoy, Professor Snape... please, join us." she motioned to the three empty seats beside her.
"Thank you Miss Saturn." nodded Snape as he and the other two sat down with them. The King turned to them and smiled slightly
"Do I look familiar?" he asked them, "Do we-" he wrapped an arm around the Queen, "look familiar?"
"Your majesty?" asked Sirus almost choking on the water he was just drinking.
"Ok I'll give you three two hints." he paused and grinned at them, "Padfoot and Snivellus..." three pairs of eyes widened and Mars raised an eyebrow at the King did he just insult Snape?
"P-prongs? Lils?" gasped Sirus as he stared at the man dressed elaborately in front of him
"Shhh... Keep it down. I don't want certain people to hear," whispered Lilieth.
"Yes. Harry can't know. He has to work it out," sighed James, "Queen's orders."
"Hold up. So Harry is the Prince of Jupiter? Of Jovia?" Mars asked dumbstruck.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, you two used to have a thing for-" Mars, who was conveniently sitting beside King James, clamped a hand over his mouth while she laughed nervously,
"Ah... hehe, please ignore the deranged idiot beside me. He knows not what he speaks." she had a large sweat drop on the side of her head. This proved to confuse the Terrans even further. One minute these women were respectful, stoic and true soldiers, and the next they acted as though they were normal teenagers, who were just like the rest of the students.
"Mars, please take your hands off my husbands," giggled the Queen as she wrapped her arms around his waist,
"Urgh." groaned Venus in disgust,
"Ok that sounded wrong," mumbled Saturn.
"Please rephrase that," giggled Moon as she piled more food onto her plate
"That is disgusting, you're old enough to be my father... what am I saying, you're older than my father!" Mars spoke as though she had been thoroughly grossed out.
"Only a couple more centuries older." he laughed good-naturedly.
"Try eons." Moon corrected with a smile as she stuffed more food into her mouth.
"You know, you definitely picked up meatball head's eating habits." smirked Mars as she watched the pink haired senshi eat like there would be no tomorrow.
"And you picked up your fathers damned mouth. Do you hear me complaining?"
"Actually Yes." grinned Venus.
"Oh shut up V. Just cause you're getting married, doesn't mean you can go around acting smart." Moon poked her tongue out at the senshi of love.
"Enough." commanded Pluto, butting in for the first time since they had sat down to eat. "Eat quickly, we have a long walk ahead of us."
"Why couldn't we just use the moon travelling mainstream?" asked Saturn in annoyance.
"Because they still do not have maps and they don't know their way around. We would lose them all over the moon." Pluto said indifferently.
"Yeah, ok true." she sighed.
Time passes.
King James had apologized quietly to Snape as they walk through the maze and though Snape had not exactly forgiven him, he still took the silence as a good sign.
Queen Lilieth was talking animatedly about the upcoming wedding of Prince Oliverio of Earth and Princess Minako of Venus and King James struck up a casual conversation with Sirus about how Hogwarts had been recently and about Harry, though no one could here them at all because they were at the front, way ahead of everyone else.
It was nearing sundown when by the time they arrived at the palace, and if the students had thought that the clearing in the maze was beautiful, then the palace to their breaths away for the beautiful architecture of the sparkling walls and the exotic layouts of the gardens were the most beautiful thing any had ever seen.
They were not allowed to stay and gawk for long before a line of ten servants appeared before them, bowing in greeting. "Welcome to the Moon Palace and the head of the New Silver Alliance." Pluto gave them a small smile before she vanished.
"We've done our part," sighed Mars
"And we must leave if we are to make it to the meeting in time, farewell Hogwarts." the King and Queen waved as they walked regally into the palace.
"These lovely people, will be showing you to your rooms. Ladies, you shall be staying in the west wing, and gentlemen, in the east." We shall see you all at dinner but for now, please follow the directions of the servants." smiled Moon
The senshi too were leaving into the palace but Saturn stopped beside a maid who stood up, smiled and hugged the senshi. "Meet us in the cherry grove after the students have settled in. We are going to train like the old times," she whispered before stepping back and walking into the palace.
Though Saturn was not holding her glaive, her petite, foreboding figure was still rather intimidating and the shadows that danced around her did not help ease this either.
"Yes your majesty." the servant bowed confusing a few people before the girl turned to them, "Good afternoon. I am Laret (Lar-ay), and I am the head servant here. If the young Princess did not already make it clear, you gentlemen will not be sleeping anywhere near the young ladies. I do hope you understand but we are obliged to keep you 'safe' till you return to the Terran, your home planet."
"It is only sensible." nodded Mr. Malfoy
"Excellent. Well gentlemen, if you follow Martin, he will lead you to your sleeping quarters for the whole of your stay, and ladies, please follow me." Laret gave them a brilliant smile and began to walk away. The girls broke away from the guys and followed her into the palace and up the stairs, turning left at the landing.
"Gentlemen, this way." The man whom had called them to follow him could not have been much older than the students themselves. At least, that's what it looked like.
The guys, including Malfoy, black, and Snape, followed the young man into the castle, up the stairs, and turning right at the landing. They walked through a series of halls and rooms, receiving many greetings from happy or hyper people, who seemed to be preparing for something large.
Finally they arrived at a set of intricately carved mahogany doors that seemed to glow with power. "This is your common room. The doors leading to your quarters shall be in here but before entering, I would like the students to partner up into groups of six for, as you can see, there are only seven dorm rooms coming off from this one and there is roughly forty of you. Professors, your quarters are through the largest door to my left,"
"Hey, he's the only professor around here," grinned Black, pointing at Snape who sent him a frown but did not retaliate.
"Of course. Begging your pardon sirs." Martin bowed slightly in apology before his back straightened to observe the students who were quickly moving to their friends, "Housing does not count." This brought all to an abrupt halt. They turned to stare at him as if he were insane, "Your house will not be effective here in this room. You are all of the one school so if you have a friend in another house, yes you can room together."
Draco stood bored as many people asked him to group with them. He looked over to the Gryffindors to notice Harry arguing with Weasley, Finnegan, and a few of the other Gryffindor guys. Harry sent the lot of them a glare and walked over to him, "Hey Malfoy. You want to room together?" he asked almost apprehensively.
"What about Weasley?" normally the golden trio did everything together but since Granger was not here, he expected Harry to at least room with the other member of the unofficial little club.
"He's being a prat. The guy said housing doesn't matter and he's insisting it does." Draco's eyebrows shot up in surprise but he said nothing, opting for looking at the Gryffindors who were throwing dirty glances at him every thirty seconds.
"I don't think your friends over there would approve Potter." The smirk that found it's way onto his lips was not easy to miss.
"I don't think I really give a damn, Malfoy." Harry rolled his eyes
"But I really wouldn't want to break up the golden trio..."
"Liar." He sighed,
Draco's smirk widened "Am I that see through?"
"Like glass."
"No glass is unacceptable."
"Fine, like crystal then."
"Much better."
"So yes?"
"Fine. But if Weasley end's up killing me with his damned dirties, you have only yourself to blame."
"I'll take that into consideration."
"You better." By the time they had agreed, all the other students had managed to pair up into groups of six leaving one dorm empty and only Harry and Draco left.
"Hmmm, looks like we get a dorm to ourselves."
"Better. Not as many annoying pricks inside..."
"And much more room..." added Harry as he went to stand in front of the last dorm.
"True." They stopped their little conversation as Martin spoke up again,
"Ok, my calculations were a bit off, but everyone is paired up so wait where you are while I come around and get your names down. Your bags have not yet arrived so we'll need to know which room has who in it."
He started on the left with the teachers and worked his way around till he came to the finally room on the right, which happened to be Harry and Draco's once he got their names down, Martin left them to have a look around.
Almost all the students instantly scurried into their rooms, yet Harry and Draco remained in the 'common room', finally able to get a good look at it. The whole wall opposite them was crystal, from roof to marble tiled floor allowing arrays of rainbow coloured light into the room. There were arched doors in the windowed wall that lead onto a balcony that overlooked a courtyard they had not noticed when they had first seen the palace. It seemed to be hidden by the rows of cherry blossom tree's that surrounded its border.
On the walls on the left and right, were the doors leading into the dorm rooms, and the furniture in this room was neutral white and silvers. There was what appeared to be a small kitchen bay in the far left corner and a fireplace in the far right, which had many comfortable seats, placed around.
"Is it just me, or were they trying to model the school common rooms?" asked Harry,
"Minus the bay over there and the balcony I'd say it's not just you." Agreed Malfoy as he opened their door and stepped into their room that was a model of their usual dorm rooms except the bed sheets were gold, silver and white.
"I think they didn't want to show favourites or something cause I have not seen one house colour since I stepped into here." Laughed Harry
"Probably, unless you count silver as Slytherin and Gold as Gryffindor..."
"Ok then you get the silver bed and I get the gold." He grinned jumping onto shimmering yellow silken bed sheets.
"Whatever you say Potter." Sighed Draco as he dropped onto the silver bed.
"So when do you think our trunks will be getting here?" almost as if at his command, both his and Draco's trunks seemed to materialize on the rug in the centre of the room.
"Well that's service for you." Draco's eyes lit up slightly as he chuckled.
"Tell me about it."
With the Senshi.
Saturn got up from her kneeling position and opened her eyes, smiling at Mars, Venus and Moon, "Ok so now can we train a little?" her voice was almost whiney as she clasped her hands together.
"Ok, ok but no yanking out the ol' puppy dog eyes." Grinned Moon,
"Yes and you would be an expert at them wouldn't you?" giggled Venus as they walked over to the hidden cherry grove. It was their favourite place to train in the Silver Millennium but the only thing that worried Mars was that the Boy's common room overlooked the top of the grove and if one blast went off in the wrong direction, it could be fatal...
It's not that Hotaru couldn't easily revive them, but it's just that they had given their word to not harm the group at all during their stay.
Mars pushed on a rock next to one of the outer edge cherry trees and a beam of light shot out. When it vanished, an archery range, and a large matted area was in the centre. Around it were randomly placed dummies that looked like overly huge monsters. There were also two weapons racks on both sides of the mats, loaded down with anything from a double-blade staff sword to maces and daggers, too short swords and broad swords.
"Just like I remember it!" laughed Venus walking out from the cover of the trees and onto the mat area.
"I'm going to work on my archery skills again." Smiled Mars as she went over to the archery range, lifting one of the standard sized lunarian war bows and a quiver of piercing arrows.
"Ok, Moon I challenge you to a sword duel!" giggled Venus lifting a double-edged war sword and tossing it at Moon.
"Challenge accepted Venus. You are going down!" Moon walked onto the mat are and readied her sword in the traditional moon duelling position as Venus took up a sturdy Venusian scimitar.
"You wish!" she smirked. Saturn shook her head in amusement before holding her hand up,
"I want a good clean sparring session, so no below the belts or anywhere near the neck, understood?" receiving two nods she grinned, "On my mark! Ready... and... FIGHT!" she stepped well back as the two women circled each other before lunging forward with fatal strikes.
The clashing of metal on metal brought the guys out from their rooms and over to the balcony of their common room where they gaped. Down in what WAS just a cherry grove moments ago was a full training area. And there, fighting like there was no tomorrow was Venus and Moon, going all out on each other.
Saturn stood to the side of the fight monitoring the match and Mars was off in an archery range firing multiple arrows at a time at different targets. Currently she had just let off three arrows at once from the same bow. They all hit their marks dead centre as she lifted four into the bow this time.
A happy greeting drew their attention to the edge of the trees to the maidservant that had greeted them earlier stepped into the 'arena', as a Hufflepuff had just quickly dubbed it, dressed in what was obviously a black training outfit.
"Hey Guys!" she had called out
"We're not guys." Yelled Moon and Venus though they did not stop their match for a second.
"Hey Laret!!" Saturn turned and ran over to the maid as they began chatting animatedly, completely oblivious to the people watching them.
"Hey yourself. Now what's this about training?"
"You're the only person round here that's slight challenge with a staff so I was thinking, do ya want to train with me?"
"Sure!" she laughed walking with Saturn over to the nearest blunt weapons rack and plucking out a black rod with purple cushioned tips. Tossing it over to Saturn she grinned, "I'm going all planetary colours on ya ok?" she grinned yanking out a blue rode with sea green cushions on it's tips.
"Oh that's right I keep on forgetting your dad is a Terran!" smiled Hotaru,
"Wait a sec." Laret yanked the ribbon out of her hair, leaving the plain hair tie, and tied it onto the middle of the staff, "That's for mama's side of the family." She grinned.
"We have to wait till the aunt and niece finish their little fight first." Saturn grinned, as they both walked back over to the mat.
"GO PRINCESS!" Laughed Laret as Moon got a good hit in, cutting a slice across Venus's shoulder, though the abrasion was a very shallow cut.
"Kick her royal mixed race but to Pluto, V!" cheered on Saturn
Venus spun around bringing her foot out in a powerful roundhouse jab-kick before delivering a scissor punch the curve of Moon's neck sending her sprawling to the floor. The tip of Venus's sword rested mere millimetres above the moon-hime's neck.
"Sorry Moon. You got a long way to go before you can beat me. You've got the magical power but you got to get fighting skill. Your speeds pretty good though." Grinned Venus as she threw the sword down to the floor and helped Moon up off the mats.
"I swear, I will beat you one of these days." She grinned
"Ok you two can continue this conversation off the mats. We want a turn." Smirked Saturn.
"Oh no. I know that look. De-transform, right now. I am not into fighting adrenalin pumped Sailor Scouts. Especially not the leader of the Outers!"
"Not allowed to. Queen's orders. While the students from Hogwarts are here, we have to remain in Senshi or Royal form. Even Prince Oliverio."
"What's this about my fiancée?" asked Venus butting in.
"Nothing Venus. Go back to lala land. Anyway, I could de-transform into princess form and change into a training uniform..."
"Ok you do that, cause you looked pumped up."
"What do you expect? I've been walking around like a zombie all day. I have too much energy today."
Stepping back, Hotaru tapped her tiara gem twice and dark shadows enveloped her from view. When the shadow's dispersed, Princess Hotaru stood in Sailor Saturn's place. Holding up her transformation pen again, Princess Hotaru called out "SATURN DISGUISE POWER!" instantly she was out of her princess dress and in a dark purple training uniform.
"Shall we?" smiled Princess Hotaru.
"Of course. Sailor Moon if you please?" Moon stopped her conversation and grinned de-transforming into Princess Chibi Usagi Serenity Moon, or Rini for short,
"Ok. Bow!" Both women bowed, "Weapons at the Ready!" Princess Hotaru gripped her staff in the middle with both hands, but Laret's grip was wider apart. "And FIGHT!"
The instant that word was out of her mouth, both women practically flew at each other, staffs become blurry with the sheer speed and strength of each swing. The sound of clashing wood rang out as the two continued to battle.
After a few minuets, Princess Hotaru knocked away the staff that Laret had been using and whacking her hard enough to unbalance her. Instead of just falling, Laret did a tuck roll and landed on her feet again. After a split second of thought, Laret did a backward cartwheel just in time to avoid the cushioned part of Hotaru's staff. She did two more backward flips and a round off once she reached the weapons rack at the edge of the mats.
Laret pulled out a spear from the rack and turned towards Princess Hotaru again. The princess threw down her staff and held her hand out open palmed, facing the weapons rack behind herself. A glaive flew out of the rack, straight into her open hand. Spinning it around a few times to get a feel of the balance, Hotaru grinned, "Laret, you've been slacking off in your training. You're getting too easy.
Instead of answering, Laret lunged forward at the purple haired princess as she began to throw blow after blow at her, only to have them blocked or redirected. Moments later Hotaru sliced right through the staff of Laret's spear and delivered a powerful kick to her stomach. She knocked the wind out of her and Laret ended up on the floor couching for air until the tip of Hotaru's training glaive was pointed at her heart.
"I give up. I have been practising Hime, but you've been having worthy partners, I have not." Grinned Laret as she batted the blade away gently with her hand and rose to her feet.
"Whatever you say Laret."
Clapping sounded above them and cheers. Looking up, Princess Hotaru almost choked, for right there stood all the male students from Hogwarts watching them.
"I think that they enjoyed the show, don't you?" spinning around they saw Neo-King Endymion, Prince Oliverio, and Helios Walking towards them.
The princesses of the Moon and Venus flew towards their beloved as Laret instantly bowed and Hotaru smiled waving to the King in greeting,
"Hey Tux-boy." Laughed Mars just before de-transforming too.
"What are you doing here Endymion?" asked Hotaru as she walked over and hugged him. Princess Reia did the same,
"The Queen needed someone to come and drag you away from your training so you would have time to prepare for dinner. I knew if anyone else came you would probably hurt him or her for interrupting your precious training time."
"And what makes you think we wont hurt you guys?" asked Minako, as they walked dropped the weapons on the mats and began walking out of the grove, Laret quickly pressing the same rock Mars had and made sure the training area vanished before following
"It's a little thing called I am superior."
"You know I really want to hit you, but I'd get a little whopping by miniature Miss Moon over there." Smirked Reia
"Don't you know it, that's my daddy!" laughed Rini, wrapping one arm around King Endymion and the other around Helios as they began to walk into the palace.
At Dinner.
Dinner had started a while ago and everyone in the hall was chatting animatedly. They were all seated at a enormous round table, which had no middle to it, and two dance-mage's were entertaining everyone in it.
The Royal families sat at the head of the table and chatted happily amongst themselves, while many students gossiped about the events of watching the Senshi this afternoon.
Sirus was seated next to King James, but there was a spare seat between himself and Princess Hotaru, and sadly he noticed that Sailor Pluto, or Professor Meioh was currently not present.
When dinner finished, silver dust shimmered into existence in front of each of the students and teachers, then vanished leaving behind a blue bracelet with a strange symbol engraved in white on it, plus a silver button, a red button and a blue button. The Queen rose to her feet...
"I'm positive that you have not missed the little trinkets before each of you. I shall quickly explain what these are for. These are Mercrian radial bracelets. There are three buttons on it. The blue button will bring up a magical map of the entire moon, the blue button will transport you straight back here to the palace, and the red button is not to be touched... unless you are in grave danger. It alerts the nearest of my senshi that you are in trouble and are in need of assistance. These bracelets are to remain on each of your wrists at all times and yes they are sort of like a tracking device. But take heed for if you should fool with them and us, if you should use the red falsely then you will be given a warning only once. After that, if you decide it funny to alarm us you shall be sent straight home to Hogwarts. Am I clear?"
She received all round nods from the students and visiting adults and a murmur of 'Yes Your Majesty's.
Smiling happily she re-seated herself and they waited as dessert was served.
"Grandmother could you scare them any more?" giggled Princess Serenity.
"Yes. I could have threatened them with death but I didn't," all who heard her little joke laughed lightly at the Queen's strange sense of humour.
"Tomorrow preparations for the wedding and ball begin! I can't wait!" laughed Minako as her hand clasped Oliverio's beneath the table.
"Then the day after we shall be wed." the prince's tender smile stirred butterflies in Minako's stomach.
"Ok no making out at the dinner table if you please. Some of us would like to keep our dinner down." Laughed Hotaru.
"You're one to talk miss I'm in love with Dra-"
"Minako unless you would like to die before your wedding, then I'd suggest you close your mouth VERY quickly." Hotaru's face tinged a slight red though whether from anger or from embarrassment none knew...

Chapter 15 - You're Alive? You're WHO?
The group had been walking through the green hedge maze for over an hour and a half now. Some students asked why they couldn't just cut straight through and Mars, Venus, Saturn, Moon and Pluto just laughed as if it were the most hysterical thing in the world. Moon was the first to calm down and she explained that the Vines were actually leaves of pure energy and could not be simply 'cut through' by anyone but a Jovian. Not to mention the hedges were actually very dense silver and red-rose bushes therefore the thorns would probably hurt if they even tried.
"How much longer?" whined Parkinson as she held onto Draco's arm, while he attempted to shake off the nagging annoyance,
"Parkinson, shut up and get the hell off me!" he hissed, barely controlling his anger. This walk seemed too damn familiar and it was frankly freaking him out. Every two seconds, images were hitting his mind and he did not know what to make of them. They were taking a serious toll on his mood.
"Sweetie, you don't have to act. Tomoe isn't here so you can show your feelings for me openly!" she was off in lala land again... damn.
"Get the hell off me Parkinson before I blast you into the next damned realm," he was losing it so he yanked his arm away from her and sped up, closer to the front to get away.
They turned the next corner and many of the students gawked at the serene vision before them.
In the centre of the clearing they had just entered, lay a large beautiful golden fountain, with sparkling clear water and many jewels embedded into it to form flowers, and symbols, bringing out several different images instead of it's original one only. There was a tree to their right and sparkling topaz swing hung from it. There were beautiful flowers around the whole area and it gave off a sense of calm to all whole stared at it.
On the swing sat a young woman dressed in a beautiful emerald dress and her long red curled hair tumbled down in beautiful glossy locks behind her. There was a fine golden crown atop her head and emerald studs around it glistened in the light reflected off the water and gems of the fountain nearby. A man stood behind her dressed in a gold sort of tuxedo with emeralds placed strategically around the ensemble. His jet black only the crown atop his own head, which was identical to the one the woman wore, tamed his wild hair. He also wore a flowing green cape.
Their backs were to the students and the two seemed to not notice them as the man laughed a strangely familiar laugh, while gently pushing the woman on the swing as she spoke in a soft gentle voice.
"Your majesties!" exclaimed all the scouts once they had made it into the clearing. They instantly moved to the front of the crowd and bowed to the couple that had yet to turn. The man spun his head slightly and saw the senshi. He smiled and turned around completely with a huge welcoming smile on his lips. The woman had turned her head to them though she did not get off the swing.
"Why hello you lot. I have not seen the five off you at the same time since... I think it was young Serenity's engagement ball." smiled the man whom seemed to be as regal as a king though to some, he looked frightfully familiar.
"Who are they?" asked the woman who could not see the group properly as the majority were still hidden around the corner of the hedge.
"These are-" Mars started but was cut off by the 'King'.
"Wait a moment. Those are Hogwarts school robes." he exclaimed happily
"Yes your majesty. These are the students that Queen Selenity invited here to the moon," said Venus with a short bow, then she rose to her feet.
"Hogwarts, I would like to introduce to you the King and Queen of Jupiter," said Pluto as the students all shuffled into the clearing, "King James Zeus III and Queen Lilieth Hera III." she sent a
Mind message to them all to bow and they did as ordered.
"Well, since Selenity intends to reveal all sooner or later, then I guess you'll be seeing quite a few familiar faces around here." smiled the Queen as she rose to her feet and turned around to them, her beautiful deep emerald eyes softening after landing on a certain young man who was staring at them in confusion.
King James nodded in agreement as he looked at the man with hair back in a ponytail. Sirus was staring in complete confusion at the King, he looked exactly like James... minus the crown and overly designer robes, but it was painfully hard to look at the man and know his best friend was dead.
Suddenly a jolt of lightning struck the fountain and all the hedges glowed for a moment, "Oh dear, the hedges have moved again." sighed the Queen as she closed her eyes and let her senses flow around mapping the maze in her mind again.
"Your majesties would you care to accompany us back to the palace?" asked Saturn
"Why not we were going to head up there ourselves but I think your company may need to rest a little while," grinned King James as he motioned to the tired looking students.
"Yes too true." Moon winked at him and turned to the students. "You all must be famished and thirsty. Please sit we will eat here and drink too." she smiled when they looked at her like she was crazy. " Oh and just so you know, this part of the maze was contributed by Mercury and Venus."
Venus stepped up to the fountain and laid her hand on a few of the jewel arrangements. Suddenly low pop was heard and elaborate tables and chairs appeared, each weighed down with delicious looking food and drink. "Enjoy." Venus gave a soft smile and went to sit at the table nearest her.
When the students didn't move, Mars sighed then smiled, "The food is not poisoned, and you wont get another chance to eat or drink until we reach the palace at sun down. Which is in about four hours. That is when dinner with her majesty Queen Selenity is served."
The King and Queen moved to sit with Venus and the rest of the Senshi followed. The teenagers quickly swarmed to the food roughly 10 to a table. Black continued to stare at the King in confusion until Saturn lifted her hand and waved the three guardians over. "Mr. Black, Mr. Malfoy, Professor Snape... please, join us." she motioned to the three empty seats beside her.
"Thank you Miss Saturn." nodded Snape as he and the other two sat down with them. The King turned to them and smiled slightly
"Do I look familiar?" he asked them, "Do we-" he wrapped an arm around the Queen, "look familiar?"
"Your majesty?" asked Sirus almost choking on the water he was just drinking.
"Ok I'll give you three two hints." he paused and grinned at them, "Padfoot and Snivellus..." three pairs of eyes widened and Mars raised an eyebrow at the King did he just insult Snape?
"P-prongs? Lils?" gasped Sirus as he stared at the man dressed elaborately in front of him
"Shhh... Keep it down. I don't want certain people to hear," whispered Lilieth.
"Yes. Harry can't know. He has to work it out," sighed James, "Queen's orders."
"Hold up. So Harry is the Prince of Jupiter? Of Jovia?" Mars asked dumbstruck.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, you two used to have a thing for-" Mars, who was conveniently sitting beside King James, clamped a hand over his mouth while she laughed nervously,
"Ah... hehe, please ignore the deranged idiot beside me. He knows not what he speaks." she had a large sweat drop on the side of her head. This proved to confuse the Terrans even further. One minute these women were respectful, stoic and true soldiers, and the next they acted as though they were normal teenagers, who were just like the rest of the students.
"Mars, please take your hands off my husbands," giggled the Queen as she wrapped her arms around his waist,
"Urgh." groaned Venus in disgust,
"Ok that sounded wrong," mumbled Saturn.
"Please rephrase that," giggled Moon as she piled more food onto her plate
"That is disgusting, you're old enough to be my father... what am I saying, you're older than my father!" Mars spoke as though she had been thoroughly grossed out.
"Only a couple more centuries older." he laughed good-naturedly.
"Try eons." Moon corrected with a smile as she stuffed more food into her mouth.
"You know, you definitely picked up meatball head's eating habits." smirked Mars as she watched the pink haired senshi eat like there would be no tomorrow.
"And you picked up your fathers damned mouth. Do you hear me complaining?"
"Actually Yes." grinned Venus.
"Oh shut up V. Just cause you're getting married, doesn't mean you can go around acting smart." Moon poked her tongue out at the senshi of love.
"Enough." commanded Pluto, butting in for the first time since they had sat down to eat. "Eat quickly, we have a long walk ahead of us."
"Why couldn't we just use the moon travelling mainstream?" asked Saturn in annoyance.
"Because they still do not have maps and they don't know their way around. We would lose them all over the moon." Pluto said indifferently.
"Yeah, ok true." she sighed.
Time passes.
King James had apologized quietly to Snape as they walk through the maze and though Snape had not exactly forgiven him, he still took the silence as a good sign.
Queen Lilieth was talking animatedly about the upcoming wedding of Prince Oliverio of Earth and Princess Minako of Venus and King James struck up a casual conversation with Sirus about how Hogwarts had been recently and about Harry, though no one could here them at all because they were at the front, way ahead of everyone else.
It was nearing sundown when by the time they arrived at the palace, and if the students had thought that the clearing in the maze was beautiful, then the palace to their breaths away for the beautiful architecture of the sparkling walls and the exotic layouts of the gardens were the most beautiful thing any had ever seen.
They were not allowed to stay and gawk for long before a line of ten servants appeared before them, bowing in greeting. "Welcome to the Moon Palace and the head of the New Silver Alliance." Pluto gave them a small smile before she vanished.
"We've done our part," sighed Mars
"And we must leave if we are to make it to the meeting in time, farewell Hogwarts." the King and Queen waved as they walked regally into the palace.
"These lovely people, will be showing you to your rooms. Ladies, you shall be staying in the west wing, and gentlemen, in the east." We shall see you all at dinner but for now, please follow the directions of the servants." smiled Moon
The senshi too were leaving into the palace but Saturn stopped beside a maid who stood up, smiled and hugged the senshi. "Meet us in the cherry grove after the students have settled in. We are going to train like the old times," she whispered before stepping back and walking into the palace.
Though Saturn was not holding her glaive, her petite, foreboding figure was still rather intimidating and the shadows that danced around her did not help ease this either.
"Yes your majesty." the servant bowed confusing a few people before the girl turned to them, "Good afternoon. I am Laret (Lar-ay), and I am the head servant here. If the young Princess did not already make it clear, you gentlemen will not be sleeping anywhere near the young ladies. I do hope you understand but we are obliged to keep you 'safe' till you return to the Terran, your home planet."
"It is only sensible." nodded Mr. Malfoy
"Excellent. Well gentlemen, if you follow Martin, he will lead you to your sleeping quarters for the whole of your stay, and ladies, please follow me." Laret gave them a brilliant smile and began to walk away. The girls broke away from the guys and followed her into the palace and up the stairs, turning left at the landing.
"Gentlemen, this way." The man whom had called them to follow him could not have been much older than the students themselves. At least, that's what it looked like.
The guys, including Malfoy, black, and Snape, followed the young man into the castle, up the stairs, and turning right at the landing. They walked through a series of halls and rooms, receiving many greetings from happy or hyper people, who seemed to be preparing for something large.
Finally they arrived at a set of intricately carved mahogany doors that seemed to glow with power. "This is your common room. The doors leading to your quarters shall be in here but before entering, I would like the students to partner up into groups of six for, as you can see, there are only seven dorm rooms coming off from this one and there is roughly forty of you. Professors, your quarters are through the largest door to my left,"
"Hey, he's the only professor around here," grinned Black, pointing at Snape who sent him a frown but did not retaliate.
"Of course. Begging your pardon sirs." Martin bowed slightly in apology before his back straightened to observe the students who were quickly moving to their friends, "Housing does not count." This brought all to an abrupt halt. They turned to stare at him as if he were insane, "Your house will not be effective here in this room. You are all of the one school so if you have a friend in another house, yes you can room together."
Draco stood bored as many people asked him to group with them. He looked over to the Gryffindors to notice Harry arguing with Weasley, Finnegan, and a few of the other Gryffindor guys. Harry sent the lot of them a glare and walked over to him, "Hey Malfoy. You want to room together?" he asked almost apprehensively.
"What about Weasley?" normally the golden trio did everything together but since Granger was not here, he expected Harry to at least room with the other member of the unofficial little club.
"He's being a prat. The guy said housing doesn't matter and he's insisting it does." Draco's eyebrows shot up in surprise but he said nothing, opting for looking at the Gryffindors who were throwing dirty glances at him every thirty seconds.
"I don't think your friends over there would approve Potter." The smirk that found it's way onto his lips was not easy to miss.
"I don't think I really give a damn, Malfoy." Harry rolled his eyes
"But I really wouldn't want to break up the golden trio..."
"Liar." He sighed,
Draco's smirk widened "Am I that see through?"
"Like glass."
"No glass is unacceptable."
"Fine, like crystal then."
"Much better."
"So yes?"
"Fine. But if Weasley end's up killing me with his damned dirties, you have only yourself to blame."
"I'll take that into consideration."
"You better." By the time they had agreed, all the other students had managed to pair up into groups of six leaving one dorm empty and only Harry and Draco left.
"Hmmm, looks like we get a dorm to ourselves."
"Better. Not as many annoying pricks inside..."
"And much more room..." added Harry as he went to stand in front of the last dorm.
"True." They stopped their little conversation as Martin spoke up again,
"Ok, my calculations were a bit off, but everyone is paired up so wait where you are while I come around and get your names down. Your bags have not yet arrived so we'll need to know which room has who in it."
He started on the left with the teachers and worked his way around till he came to the finally room on the right, which happened to be Harry and Draco's once he got their names down, Martin left them to have a look around.
Almost all the students instantly scurried into their rooms, yet Harry and Draco remained in the 'common room', finally able to get a good look at it. The whole wall opposite them was crystal, from roof to marble tiled floor allowing arrays of rainbow coloured light into the room. There were arched doors in the windowed wall that lead onto a balcony that overlooked a courtyard they had not noticed when they had first seen the palace. It seemed to be hidden by the rows of cherry blossom tree's that surrounded its border.
On the walls on the left and right, were the doors leading into the dorm rooms, and the furniture in this room was neutral white and silvers. There was what appeared to be a small kitchen bay in the far left corner and a fireplace in the far right, which had many comfortable seats, placed around.
"Is it just me, or were they trying to model the school common rooms?" asked Harry,
"Minus the bay over there and the balcony I'd say it's not just you." Agreed Malfoy as he opened their door and stepped into their room that was a model of their usual dorm rooms except the bed sheets were gold, silver and white.
"I think they didn't want to show favourites or something cause I have not seen one house colour since I stepped into here." Laughed Harry
"Probably, unless you count silver as Slytherin and Gold as Gryffindor..."
"Ok then you get the silver bed and I get the gold." He grinned jumping onto shimmering yellow silken bed sheets.
"Whatever you say Potter." Sighed Draco as he dropped onto the silver bed.
"So when do you think our trunks will be getting here?" almost as if at his command, both his and Draco's trunks seemed to materialize on the rug in the centre of the room.
"Well that's service for you." Draco's eyes lit up slightly as he chuckled.
"Tell me about it."
With the Senshi.
Saturn got up from her kneeling position and opened her eyes, smiling at Mars, Venus and Moon, "Ok so now can we train a little?" her voice was almost whiney as she clasped her hands together.
"Ok, ok but no yanking out the ol' puppy dog eyes." Grinned Moon,
"Yes and you would be an expert at them wouldn't you?" giggled Venus as they walked over to the hidden cherry grove. It was their favourite place to train in the Silver Millennium but the only thing that worried Mars was that the Boy's common room overlooked the top of the grove and if one blast went off in the wrong direction, it could be fatal...
It's not that Hotaru couldn't easily revive them, but it's just that they had given their word to not harm the group at all during their stay.
Mars pushed on a rock next to one of the outer edge cherry trees and a beam of light shot out. When it vanished, an archery range, and a large matted area was in the centre. Around it were randomly placed dummies that looked like overly huge monsters. There were also two weapons racks on both sides of the mats, loaded down with anything from a double-blade staff sword to maces and daggers, too short swords and broad swords.
"Just like I remember it!" laughed Venus walking out from the cover of the trees and onto the mat area.
"I'm going to work on my archery skills again." Smiled Mars as she went over to the archery range, lifting one of the standard sized lunarian war bows and a quiver of piercing arrows.
"Ok, Moon I challenge you to a sword duel!" giggled Venus lifting a double-edged war sword and tossing it at Moon.
"Challenge accepted Venus. You are going down!" Moon walked onto the mat are and readied her sword in the traditional moon duelling position as Venus took up a sturdy Venusian scimitar.
"You wish!" she smirked. Saturn shook her head in amusement before holding her hand up,
"I want a good clean sparring session, so no below the belts or anywhere near the neck, understood?" receiving two nods she grinned, "On my mark! Ready... and... FIGHT!" she stepped well back as the two women circled each other before lunging forward with fatal strikes.
The clashing of metal on metal brought the guys out from their rooms and over to the balcony of their common room where they gaped. Down in what WAS just a cherry grove moments ago was a full training area. And there, fighting like there was no tomorrow was Venus and Moon, going all out on each other.
Saturn stood to the side of the fight monitoring the match and Mars was off in an archery range firing multiple arrows at a time at different targets. Currently she had just let off three arrows at once from the same bow. They all hit their marks dead centre as she lifted four into the bow this time.
A happy greeting drew their attention to the edge of the trees to the maidservant that had greeted them earlier stepped into the 'arena', as a Hufflepuff had just quickly dubbed it, dressed in what was obviously a black training outfit.
"Hey Guys!" she had called out
"We're not guys." Yelled Moon and Venus though they did not stop their match for a second.
"Hey Laret!!" Saturn turned and ran over to the maid as they began chatting animatedly, completely oblivious to the people watching them.
"Hey yourself. Now what's this about training?"
"You're the only person round here that's slight challenge with a staff so I was thinking, do ya want to train with me?"
"Sure!" she laughed walking with Saturn over to the nearest blunt weapons rack and plucking out a black rod with purple cushioned tips. Tossing it over to Saturn she grinned, "I'm going all planetary colours on ya ok?" she grinned yanking out a blue rode with sea green cushions on it's tips.
"Oh that's right I keep on forgetting your dad is a Terran!" smiled Hotaru,
"Wait a sec." Laret yanked the ribbon out of her hair, leaving the plain hair tie, and tied it onto the middle of the staff, "That's for mama's side of the family." She grinned.
"We have to wait till the aunt and niece finish their little fight first." Saturn grinned, as they both walked back over to the mat.
"GO PRINCESS!" Laughed Laret as Moon got a good hit in, cutting a slice across Venus's shoulder, though the abrasion was a very shallow cut.
"Kick her royal mixed race but to Pluto, V!" cheered on Saturn
Venus spun around bringing her foot out in a powerful roundhouse jab-kick before delivering a scissor punch the curve of Moon's neck sending her sprawling to the floor. The tip of Venus's sword rested mere millimetres above the moon-hime's neck.
"Sorry Moon. You got a long way to go before you can beat me. You've got the magical power but you got to get fighting skill. Your speeds pretty good though." Grinned Venus as she threw the sword down to the floor and helped Moon up off the mats.
"I swear, I will beat you one of these days." She grinned
"Ok you two can continue this conversation off the mats. We want a turn." Smirked Saturn.
"Oh no. I know that look. De-transform, right now. I am not into fighting adrenalin pumped Sailor Scouts. Especially not the leader of the Outers!"
"Not allowed to. Queen's orders. While the students from Hogwarts are here, we have to remain in Senshi or Royal form. Even Prince Oliverio."
"What's this about my fiancée?" asked Venus butting in.
"Nothing Venus. Go back to lala land. Anyway, I could de-transform into princess form and change into a training uniform..."
"Ok you do that, cause you looked pumped up."
"What do you expect? I've been walking around like a zombie all day. I have too much energy today."
Stepping back, Hotaru tapped her tiara gem twice and dark shadows enveloped her from view. When the shadow's dispersed, Princess Hotaru stood in Sailor Saturn's place. Holding up her transformation pen again, Princess Hotaru called out "SATURN DISGUISE POWER!" instantly she was out of her princess dress and in a dark purple training uniform.
"Shall we?" smiled Princess Hotaru.
"Of course. Sailor Moon if you please?" Moon stopped her conversation and grinned de-transforming into Princess Chibi Usagi Serenity Moon, or Rini for short,
"Ok. Bow!" Both women bowed, "Weapons at the Ready!" Princess Hotaru gripped her staff in the middle with both hands, but Laret's grip was wider apart. "And FIGHT!"
The instant that word was out of her mouth, both women practically flew at each other, staffs become blurry with the sheer speed and strength of each swing. The sound of clashing wood rang out as the two continued to battle.
After a few minuets, Princess Hotaru knocked away the staff that Laret had been using and whacking her hard enough to unbalance her. Instead of just falling, Laret did a tuck roll and landed on her feet again. After a split second of thought, Laret did a backward cartwheel just in time to avoid the cushioned part of Hotaru's staff. She did two more backward flips and a round off once she reached the weapons rack at the edge of the mats.
Laret pulled out a spear from the rack and turned towards Princess Hotaru again. The princess threw down her staff and held her hand out open palmed, facing the weapons rack behind herself. A glaive flew out of the rack, straight into her open hand. Spinning it around a few times to get a feel of the balance, Hotaru grinned, "Laret, you've been slacking off in your training. You're getting too easy.
Instead of answering, Laret lunged forward at the purple haired princess as she began to throw blow after blow at her, only to have them blocked or redirected. Moments later Hotaru sliced right through the staff of Laret's spear and delivered a powerful kick to her stomach. She knocked the wind out of her and Laret ended up on the floor couching for air until the tip of Hotaru's training glaive was pointed at her heart.
"I give up. I have been practising Hime, but you've been having worthy partners, I have not." Grinned Laret as she batted the blade away gently with her hand and rose to her feet.
"Whatever you say Laret."
Clapping sounded above them and cheers. Looking up, Princess Hotaru almost choked, for right there stood all the male students from Hogwarts watching them.
"I think that they enjoyed the show, don't you?" spinning around they saw Neo-King Endymion, Prince Oliverio, and Helios Walking towards them.
The princesses of the Moon and Venus flew towards their beloved as Laret instantly bowed and Hotaru smiled waving to the King in greeting,
"Hey Tux-boy." Laughed Mars just before de-transforming too.
"What are you doing here Endymion?" asked Hotaru as she walked over and hugged him. Princess Reia did the same,
"The Queen needed someone to come and drag you away from your training so you would have time to prepare for dinner. I knew if anyone else came you would probably hurt him or her for interrupting your precious training time."
"And what makes you think we wont hurt you guys?" asked Minako, as they walked dropped the weapons on the mats and began walking out of the grove, Laret quickly pressing the same rock Mars had and made sure the training area vanished before following
"It's a little thing called I am superior."
"You know I really want to hit you, but I'd get a little whopping by miniature Miss Moon over there." Smirked Reia
"Don't you know it, that's my daddy!" laughed Rini, wrapping one arm around King Endymion and the other around Helios as they began to walk into the palace.
At Dinner.
Dinner had started a while ago and everyone in the hall was chatting animatedly. They were all seated at a enormous round table, which had no middle to it, and two dance-mage's were entertaining everyone in it.
The Royal families sat at the head of the table and chatted happily amongst themselves, while many students gossiped about the events of watching the Senshi this afternoon.
Sirus was seated next to King James, but there was a spare seat between himself and Princess Hotaru, and sadly he noticed that Sailor Pluto, or Professor Meioh was currently not present.
When dinner finished, silver dust shimmered into existence in front of each of the students and teachers, then vanished leaving behind a blue bracelet with a strange symbol engraved in white on it, plus a silver button, a red button and a blue button. The Queen rose to her feet...
"I'm positive that you have not missed the little trinkets before each of you. I shall quickly explain what these are for. These are Mercrian radial bracelets. There are three buttons on it. The blue button will bring up a magical map of the entire moon, the blue button will transport you straight back here to the palace, and the red button is not to be touched... unless you are in grave danger. It alerts the nearest of my senshi that you are in trouble and are in need of assistance. These bracelets are to remain on each of your wrists at all times and yes they are sort of like a tracking device. But take heed for if you should fool with them and us, if you should use the red falsely then you will be given a warning only once. After that, if you decide it funny to alarm us you shall be sent straight home to Hogwarts. Am I clear?"
She received all round nods from the students and visiting adults and a murmur of 'Yes Your Majesty's.
Smiling happily she re-seated herself and they waited as dessert was served.
"Grandmother could you scare them any more?" giggled Princess Serenity.
"Yes. I could have threatened them with death but I didn't," all who heard her little joke laughed lightly at the Queen's strange sense of humour.
"Tomorrow preparations for the wedding and ball begin! I can't wait!" laughed Minako as her hand clasped Oliverio's beneath the table.
"Then the day after we shall be wed." the prince's tender smile stirred butterflies in Minako's stomach.
"Ok no making out at the dinner table if you please. Some of us would like to keep our dinner down." Laughed Hotaru.
"You're one to talk miss I'm in love with Dra-"
"Minako unless you would like to die before your wedding, then I'd suggest you close your mouth VERY quickly." Hotaru's face tinged a slight red though whether from anger or from embarrassment none knew...
