I officially loathe my computer. For the longest time it's been acting up. My mom made me delete a ton of files so I am deprived of my video and music clips! It is so boring going on my computer and not having anything to do.

Neslie: Except type this story.

Vikki: Yeah, except that.

Neslie: You know, this is probably a sign that you should work more on our story.

Vikki: Oh, who asked you anyways? Besides, this is MY story. You're just here for support and ideas.

Neslie: Yea, without me this story would be going down the drain. Whoose the one who lent you all her Harry Potter books?

Vikki: Whose the one sharing an account with you since you don't have an email?

Neslie: Grrrrrrr!

Vikki: Grrrrrrr!

Chapter 2:The Truth of the Past

Come Holly, it's time to go

These people speak funny. Japan is weird.

Hi Daddy, do you have another present for me?

I love you Mommy.

Where are we going?

I wanna go back to England!

Is daddy coming with us?

Bye Holly…

Hotaru Tomoe sat up in her bed. For weeks she had been having these strange dreams. Voices that sounded familiar but she could not recognize. There were also faces that disappeared before she could get a good look at them. She was bothered by the fact that she couldn't figure them out. She felt that they held some key to something about her. Suddenly the phone rang. Hotaru reached over to pick it up.

"Hello, this is Hotaru."

"Hey Hotaru, this is Rini."

"And Amelia too!"

"Hey guys what's up?"

"Nothing but the sky," said Amelia "Rini and I were just thinking about how we should all try out for the same sport this fall. I was thinking soccer-"

"And I was thinking softball," Rini interrupted. "We need a third opinion."

Hotaru thought for a bit. "How about volleyball?" she suggested. "We can all go to the park and practice right now"

"Great idea Hotaru," said Amelia. "We're all good at that"

"Especially Amelia and her spikes," complained Rini. "And I should know!"

They all laughed. Then they said their goodbyes and hung up. Hotaru hummed as she got ready. It was only a week before school began and she couldn't wait. This would be the first time Rini and Hotaru would start junior high together. Of course Hotaru had been to junior high before but she didn't have any friends with her. This time it would be different.

Plus, they had both made friends with Amelia who had moved to the neighborhood recently. She was a nice girl with pale blond hair and cold blue eyes that were really deceiving. Amelia was a very warm-hearted girl. She was almost as energetic as Rini and she was also a massive trickster. But sometimes she could be very cold. Once a boy was bothering her so much that she just turned around and punched him without thinking and then walked away.

As Hotaru walked down the stairs, she heard hushed conversation in the kitchen, as if whoever was talking felt it was wrong to speak out loud.

"I'm heading to the park with Rini and Amelia" Hotaru proclaimed in a loud voice.

"Hotaru dear," called Michiru, "could you cone into the kitchen please?" Hotaru walked into the kitchen and found her 'parents' sitting around the table.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"Hotaru, a letter came for you," said Michiru. Hotaru took the letter and examined it. It was made out of a heavy parchment and had a strange seal. She tore it open and read what it said:

Dear Miss Hotaru Tomoe,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…

Hotaru looked up at her parents. "Does this mean that I am a witch?"

"We all are Hotaru," said Haruka. "All of the senshi have witch potential. We just didn't get formal education."

"And now you get that chance Hotaru," said Michiru.

"But why did I get the letter so late? I was 14 when my senshi powers were awakened. How come I didn't get the letter before then?

"Sit down Hotaru," said Setsuna. "This will take awhile." Hotaru made herself comfortable in a chair and prepared herself for a long story.

"You see, professor Tomoe is not your real father. Your father was a man named Tom Riddle, more commonly known today as Voldemort. Your mother, Heather, met him while they were both at Hogwarts. Yes, your mother was a witch and one of the best too. The two fell in love and got married right after their graduation. Tom soon changed his name to Voldemort and started to gain power and followers at a tremendous rate. Even though Heather did not really approve of his dealings, she stood by him.

"When you were born she named you Holly and raised you in the mansion she inherited from her family. When you were about 7, Voldemort went to go kill the potter family but something went wrong. He only managed to kill the parents but when he tried to kill their son, the spell backfired and Voldemort disappeared. I was good friends with Heather and managed to get her to leave the house before the Ministry got there. She took you to Japan and changed both of your names. She used a shield spell to hide the presence of magic around both of you. She also used a memory charm to get rid of your memories of England."

Hotaru had an unreadable expression on her face. "So I didn't get the letter before because there was a shield charm on me," She said. "But why am I getting it now?"

"The spell has disappeared since you have been reborn," said Setsuna. "Have you had any strange dreams lately?"

Hotaru thought back to that morning and the weird dream she had. "Yea, there are all the voices and I see blurry faces but I can't make out anything. What do they have to do with this?"

Setsuna smiled at her, "Those are your memories returning to you." She walked over to Hotaru "And I can give you the rest of your memories."

Hotaru took a back step away from her. "What if I don't want to remember?" she said. "What if I like my life just the way it is? And what about my friends? We were all gonna start school together. Why can't I just have a normal life?"

Setsuna had a pained look on her face. "I know this is hard to understand but it's for your own good. Someone I know has had visions of Voldemort rising up again. We need to make sure you can be protected at all times."

"But it's not fair!" yelled Hotaru, tears streaming out of her eyes. "It's not fair at all!" She turned around and ran upstairs. The three adults in the kitchen heard the door slam and then it was silent.

"I told you we should have told her sooner," said Haruka. "Not a week before school starts. Then she would have had more time to adjust."

"Haruka," Michiru said softly. "Think about how Hotaru feels. She has been on her own for such a long time. She's never had any real friends until she met Rini and Amelia. And now she has to leave all that and go somewhere far away from home."

"I think we should just give her some time," said Setsuna.

Aww, poor Hotaru. Don't worry everything will turn out fine.
