Chapter 2: Explanations
Before Serena could begin Amara pulled her to the side.
"Are you sure we can trust these people? You are more important then their curiosity," Amara said with a hint of anger.
"Trust them? Amara these people have been like my family way before I knew about this, I trust these people with my life like I trust you with my life," Serena said.
"Alright I just worry not only do we have the negaverse out to get you, we don't have a complete guard and the others will be back to have their revenge. I just couldn't bare to see you lying the way I did on the moon. Not a lot of people know that the outers were in a meeting with the Queen, and I was ordered to protect her, first I saw Michelle fall, then the others then you, it hurt too much," Amara said.
"I know Amara, I felt the same way when I saw them all fall and then Stratus my own brother and then Endymion, I couldn't bare it that's why I used his sword to end my life," Serena said.
Amara and Serena came back into the room and smiled.
"You are all here because you wish to know why I can do the things I did back there to help Harry. But first you need to understand that Harry has the role of defeating Voldemort we are just here to complete our guard and find the Princes," Serenity said and suddenly Harry shivered because none of them knew the prophecy in fact he glared at Serenity.
"What do you mean Harry has the job of getting rid of Voldemort he is just a child?" Molly said angrily.
"My dear Molly that is a story that she can't tell it's up to Harry to tell you," Professor Dumbledore said as he nodded for the young girl to finish.
"Now my story begins a thousand years ago, where there was peace and tranquility through out the universe. The planets and their respective kingdoms were at peace ruled under a single ruler in the Silver Millennium. The moon as the strongest force ruled the alliance with Queen Serenity as it's hope and the silver Imperium crystal as its power, with her daughter Princess Serenity as their future ruler. Princess Serenity fell in love with the Prince from Earth Endymion. On the eve of their engagement ball Queen Beryl of the Negaverse attacked the moon using the men she had turned on Earth to do her bidding, she killed the Sailor Scouts the legendary protectors of the Princess, then she killed Prince Stratus, Serenity's brother and then killed Prince Endymion who was ripped from Serenity's arms. Overcome by grief and despair Serenity followed Endymion to his death. When the Queen saw her daughter dead like an angel she used the silver Imperium crystal and the rest of her strength to trap the negaverse in the crystal and sent us all to a new life on Earth, a new future," Serenity said tears rolling down her face but still she remained able to speak.
"But that does not explain why you are here now?" Harry asked.
"I am not only the Princess Serenity, but I am Serenity Lily Black daughter of Queen Serenity, Sirius and Thia Black," Serenity said powering down.
"I knew it," Harry said with a smile.
"I know this is a lot to take in but there is a lot more to the story that is just our past lives, moving into the present, when I was eight Sailor Pluto came for me and took me to Japan to live with my Aunt Irene giving mum and dad the excuse I'd be safer there. When I was fourteen and just before the start of the school year I was contacted by Luna and given the responsibility of Sailor Moon who has a crescent moon on her forehead. I fought and battled monsters made and controlled by Queen Beryl, while I also found the other scouts, first was Mercury, then Mars, then Jupiter, then Venus making the Inner Guard complete. We also found out that Tuxedo Mask who had helped us in the past was also after the seven rainbow crystals, he had five of them and would have given them up for our safety had Sailor Venus not shown up. Darien decided to make a deal with the negaverse a duel for the crystals, I found him hurt and followed him, we then got trapped and taken to starlight tower we were in the elevator when fire came rushing at us. I made a snap decision and transformed in front of Darien, they told me that all they wanted was my friend tuxedo mask who I found out was Tuxedo mask, he tried to protect me and got badly hurt," Serena said trying not to cry but failing so her black cat jumped to continue.
"Serena as she cried over Darien her love for Endymion came back ten fold and brought the seven rainbow crystals to her and then they reformed the Imperium silver crystal as soon as she touched the wand and attached to crystal she was transformed into Princess Serenity, Serena had been the one we were searching for all along. Afterwards we fought hard but lost the Prince in the meantime who was turned against us. Serena became even bolder and we attacked Beryl, using the star locket that Darien had returned to her she freed him, and he died to protect her. She went after Beryl and was transformed into Serenity where she used the crystal to save her friends and Darien. She made sure she had no memory of the event and they went on life as normal," Luna said.
"That's incredible," Harry said and Serena blushed as she had calmed down enough to continue.
"Afterwards my friends were in danger again so Luna used her own power to give me back my memories and I continued being Sailor Moon and the moon princess, then about a week after the others were reawakened and I realized that in the battle against Beryl the wand and the crystal disappeared. A while after we were enjoying a picnic when our friends were attacked and the girls were investigating when they got trapped. I tried to stop them from having their energy taken so I fought but was trapped in my own portal, where Queen Serenity brought us to the moon and I received a new broach with the crystal inside and went back. Over time we found out who are enemies really were and Darien had yet to remember. So when we faced the enemy it was our love again that gave Darien his memories back and my using my body to save him. This went on for another year when we had a new enemy and a little girl named Rini told us she was our future daughter she took us to the future and once again we had to fight for our lives. Rini was taken and was used to try and open the black gates, but our light and love saved Rini and then the two of us using both crystals destroyed the enemy, we fought again another enemy saved Sailor Saturn and retrieved my final formation. A month later we fought again this time I had to maintain the transformation as the Princess and the light of hope to defeat Chaos and save Sailor Galaxia, before though I watched as all my friends were taken from including new friends, as it turns out Darien was killed on his way to America and I never knew. So when I retrieved the star seeds Galaxia made it so we all lived again," Serena said not wishing to continue.
"That's not all that happened go on Serena tell them," Trista said.
"I can't Trista it's too soon," Serena said.
"If you don't let them in they can't help you so I'll tell them," Trista said.
"Please understand it's a sore subject for me so if you'll excuse me I think I will go reinforce the wards on this place with my own," Serena said.
"Alright but take Amara with you," Trista said still protective of their princess even though she was a warrior herself.
"Fine, come on Amara," Serena said leaving the room as quickly as she could.
"A month after the defeat of Galaxia and Chaos, Darien, Rei and Ami betrayed her bringing her here. However what we learned was that they were tricking the crystal into believing they were the heirs, but they are not or Darien could have never betrayed her. Endymion and Serenity were destined to be together so whoever the real heir is has the right to the golden crystal of Earth. We are back to find Endymion, Stratus and the real Scouts of Mercury and Mars," Trista said.
At this moment Harry ran out of the room before anyone could say anything but he collapsed in the hall clutching his head. Serena and Amara were coming back into view and found him lying there.
"Come on Harry fight him force him out," Serena said pulling Harry into her lap.
"Serena what's going on?" Amara asked, worried.
"It's Voldemort go into the kitchen quickly get Dumbledore out here and fast," Serena said.
"Alright Serena," Amara said running directly into the kitchen scared and helpless something she had never been in her life.
When she burst into the room the scouts knew immediately something was wrong.
"Amara what's wrong? You never get worried or scared," Michelle asked running to her lover.
"Serena sent me in here we found Harry collapsed grabbing his head in pain, he was lying in the middle of the floor in the hallway," Amara said as she too collapsed in her lover's arms.
"Oh no, no one leaves this room," Dumbledore ordered rushing out of the kitchen and into the hallway.
"Harry please I can't lose you too, please Harry fight him for me," Serena kept saying over and over again.
"Move away from him if Voldemort finds out you are the princess of the Silver Millennium he will be after you in a heart beat and that's the last thing the order needs," Dumbledore said as he approached.
"I don't think so Professor, Harry needs me, please Harry fight him," Serena said as she watched her best friend struggle to get a hold of his mind.
(Harry's Mind)
"Well, well, well Mr. Potter," Voldemort said tauntingly.
"Hello Tom, you do realize you don't have the power to access my mind so leave and you won't get hurt," Harry said with a smirk as he met with Tom in the void of his mind.
"Not so fast Potter I want things that you know and I will get them even if we have to fight," Voldemort said angrily.
"I don't think so; you see I'm in control. But if you insist on fighting then fight we shall," Harry said as he called forth Gryffindor's sword and another sword appeared one he did not recognize but grabbed that as well.
"Let's dance then shall we," Voldemort said.
Harry parried and attacked Voldemort with a vengeance meanwhile he knew exactly what to do when he could catch the old man off guard. He saw his opening as Tom stumbled and he blasted him with fire from his hands and Tom flew out of his mind. Little did he know that Voldemort had been seriously injured as he flew a hundred feet from where he stood.
"Harry please wake up, please fight him. I need you you're my best friend," Serena said as she began to cry. Forgetting who she was the crystal reacted and she turned directly into Princess Serenity.
"Serena…" Harry said as he slowly opened his eyes and dropped his hands from his head.
"Oh god Harry you're bleeding," Serenity said as she used the silver crystal to heal him.
"Thanks Sere, I'm alright oh and professor those lessons with Professor Snape aren't necessary. I have a strong hold on my mind," Harry said as Serena helped him up.
"Very well, Serena there are a few more things to discuss but I'll give you few minutes to yourself," Professor Dumbledore said with a knowing smirk.
"Thank you Professor," Serena said taking Harry's hand and lead him to the living room.
"Serena there is something I need to say to you and I need you to hear me out," Harry said with a sad smile.
"Harry what's wrong you're scaring me?" Serena asked.
"We've been best friends since forever but there is something else there or at least I feel that there is. I love you Serenity Lily Black but there is way too much danger in my life for you too be around me. Voldemort is no picnic believe me, and I am the only one who can defeat him," Harry said.
"Harry I'm more powerful than anything that overgrown pompous ass could come up with, don't forget Harry I am the Princess of the Silver Alliance. I love you too Harry Potter and I'm not taking no as an answer," Serena said as she kissed him passionately.
"Serena will you be my girlfriend?" Harry asked her with a smile.
"Did you even have to ask," Serena said kissing him again and Harry smiled.
"Come milady we should get back in there before Amara comes to kick my ass," Harry said and Serena laughed. They walked back into the kitchen hand in hand, to worried looks from everyone.
"I'm fine so before you ask let me reassure everyone that I am in control with my mind, I have been for quite some time now," Harry said with a smile.
"I don't think so Potter," Snape said as he stared at Harry trying to force into his mind.
"ENOUGH," Harry yelled as Professor Snape was flung across the room and into the wall.
"Harry are you alright?" Sirius asked with concern.
"I'm fine Padfoot really, he really doesn't want to mess with me though cuz I'm not in the mood," Harry said pointing towards Snape.
"So you said there was something else to discuss Professor," Serena said trying to change the subject.
"Actually I want to extend to you all a warm welcome to the Wizarding World and to extend to you the chance to go to Hogwarts as seventh years. I would also like to ask if you could help Harry protect the school as he is the heir to one of the founders and of Merlin," Professor Dumbledore said to Serena.
"I'm game," Serena said with a smile.
"Where the Princess goes we go, but if you try to hurt her you'll be beyond the help of your wand," Amara said with a smirk.
"Amara knock it off and you can stop glaring at Harry, he would never do anything to hurt me. Now knock it off," Serena said as she snuggled further into Harry's side.
"Professor is there a way I can take my Newts early that way I can focus on keeping the world safe from Voldemort?" Harry asked.
"Actually I'll have the new minister for magic answer that question, Arthur what do you think?" Professor Dumbledore said.
"I think that is the best thing I have heard all day, Sirius I'll have you arrange that because you'll be in charge of his security, as the new Head Auror," Arthur said with a smile which shocked everyone in the room.
"Alright well I guess I better go do that then. I'll see you all for dinner and I'll keep you updated Minister," Sirius said walking out the door and Harry followed him.
"Wow I wasn't expecting that," Sirius said as Harry sat down next to him.
"Yeah but you do know that I don't need protecting, I'm seventeen for crying out loud," Harry said.
"I know kiddo but the wizarding world deems it fit for you to be surrounded by aurors," Sirius said smirking.
"What ever, so we gunna go get things set up for these tests?" Harry asked as Serena approached.
"Yeah let's go," Sirius said.
"Can I go with you?" Serena said asking her father to go with them as she grasped Harry's hand.
"Of course baby girl you can come," Sirius said as they all disapparated.
They reappeared in the Ministry moments later and Sirius led them to the office where the governor's sat for the board of Hogwarts. Immediately when they entered the room they stood and bowed to Harry shocking him.
"Please Ladies and Gentlemen there is no need for formalities I am here at the ministers request to take my NEWTS," Harry said and Serena smiled.
"Mr. Potter why have you come to waste my time as well as the boards you have one more year of school left before you can take those NEWTS," Umbridge said.
"So this is where the old goat moved you too before he was removed from office. Maybe you are unawares but I could take my NEWTS and pass them with all out standings and the highest scores since the beginning of Hogwarts," Harry snapped, "And maybe you have forgotten that I am the heir of both Godric Gryffindor and Merlin."
"Madam Umbridge hold your tongue. Lord Potter we will set up your tests for a week tomorrow, and we can also assume you have been asked to take the DADA post at the school," one of the board members asked.
"Yes I have been asked but I am going to be taking up an apprenticeship under Dumbledore and Remus Lupin will be coming to teach DADA once more," Harry said.
"Very well Lord Potter we shall see you next Monday at eight am for your practical tests and then theory Tuesday morning at eight," Selena said.
"Harry, why are you doing this? You should be enjoying your last year at school not worrying about Voldemort," Serenity asked.
"I am doing this because I have to be on guard for any attacks on the school and in the wizarding community. I now have a link to the entire wizarding community worldwide just as Merlin did in his time," Harry said.
"That's harsh don't you think," Serena said.
"Yeah but that's been my life since I was born, and since the night that bastard killed my parents," Harry said with a small smile.
"Come on you two Madam Bones wants a small word with you Harry before you leave," Sirius said stepping in behind them.
"Well why don't you lead on Padfoot," Harry said laughing as Sirius stuck his tongue out at him.
"Serena coming with us?" Sirius asked.
Serena was in a daze and then realized that both Harry and Sirius were trying to talk to her.
"Sorry I have to go, I'll see you both at headquarters there has been a monster attack in Tokyo and I have to leave," Serena said as she apparated to headquarters.
"Girls we have a problem in Tokyo," Serena said as she got to headquarters.
"Serena what good are we going to do with less than a full guard?" Mina asked.
"We'll kick butt like we always do," Serena said and they all nodded.
"MOON ETERNAL POWER," Serena yelled transforming into Eternal Sailor Moon.
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER," Mina yelled transforming into Eternal Sailor Venus receiving her final transformation from the crystal.
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER," Lita yelled transforming into Sailor Jupiter.
"URANUS CRYSTAL POWER," Amara called transforming into Sailor Uranus.
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER," Michelle called transforming into Sailor Neptune.
"SATURN CRYSTAL POWER," Hotaru called transforming into Sailor Saturn.
"PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER," Trista called transforming into Sailor Pluto.
They teleported out of the manor and into the garden in Tokyo where they found a small girl being attacked by a monster and she was trying to hold it off with a small wand.
"MOON ETERNAL DESTRUCTION," Serenity cried attacking the monster full force who then fell to the ground and then got back up.
"Let's combine our attacks girls. MOON ETERNAL POWER,"
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER,"
"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER,"
"URANUS CRYSTAL POWER,"
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER,"
"SATURN CRYSTAL POWER,"
"PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER,"
"SAILOR POWER ATTACK," Serenity yelled and the youma fell to the ground dusted.
"Thank you Sailor Scouts," the young girl yelled running back to the park to where her brother was playing.
Before they could teleport back Darien, Rei and Ami appeared.
"Aww look whose come back to play with us ladies," Darien said with a smirk.
"Get laid asshole," Amara yelled.
"Amara that is enough," Serenity snapped.
"I'm sorry Princess," Amara said as the other three approached.
"I'm not scared of you Darien or your little tarts," Serena said walking straight up to him.
"Yeah well you should be," Darien said grabbing her.
"If you don't let go of her in one minute you're a dead man," a voice shouted from above them.
"Awww so this must be the real Endymion," Darien said with a laugh.
"Actually my name is Prince Stratus and you will unhand my sister," Prince Stratus said coming into view.
"Stratus you could never hurt a fly," Darien said.
"Trust me you don't want to get on my bad side so let go of my sister," Stratus said summoning his sword to him and wielded it expertly.
"You won't always have Protection Serena," Darien said pushing her into her brother.
"I don't need anyone's protection Darien," Serenity snapped slapping him hard in the face. "Let's go girls, Stratus," she said grabbing everyone into a large shield and teleported back to the Black Manor.
"Stratus you have some explaining to do?" Serenity said as she arrived back in the manor's living room.
"I know I do, I chose now to come forward because a huge storm is coming and I'm needed. I'm sorry I didn't come sooner though it sounds as if you've had a tough time with everything," Stratus said hugging his sister at the moment Harry walked into the room saw what was going on and walked back out ignoring Serena's pleas for him to stop.
"What the hell he's not like this normally," Serena said with a small smile.
"Don't forget Serena he's not only your best friend anymore he is also your boyfriend and from the sounds of it has been hurt in the past just like you have," Mina said with a sad smile to her best friend.
"Oh I get it he doesn't know you're my brother," Serena said with a small smile rushed out of the room and began sensing for Harry. She found him on the roof again with his head down.
"Harry it wasn't what it looked like, you know how I am here looking for two Princes while he is one of them, Prince Stratus, my brother from the silver millennium." Serena said with a smile.
"That's only part of why I am sitting here Sere," Harry said, "You were hurt weren't you, I could feel something inside me change and when I looked in the mirror I was someone else. Care to explain?" he asked her.
"I'm not positive but you may be far older then both Merlin and Gryffindor, you may just be Endymion but I can't tell yet because he has to find himself first," Serena said, "But I don't like you because you carry a crystal but because you've been there for me when I needed you and because I loved you from the moment I said goodbye when I was eight."
"I think I know what you mean, the last girl I dated it was ruined by the fact that she cheated on me with one of my good friends, but then I realized I hadn't loved her because something always pulled me here and I finally realized when you returned it was you," Harry said taking her hand in his and smiled.
"Now come and meet my brother," Serena said with a smirk.
"Alright," Harry said and floated them through the window and set them both back down inside the room. Harry grabbed his head and screamed.
"HARRY," Serena yelled.
"I'm alright, there's an attack at the burrow happening in five minutes assemble the order Serena," Harry said flashing out of the room to the burrow.
Serena rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen where she found everyone assembled there as well as her brother and the scouts. Hermione looked so worried a symbol was flashing on her forehead.
"Mercury," Serena whispered to the others and Luna nodded.
"Harry needs everyone to the burrow immediately," Serena said with a sad smile, "Hermione stay here for the moment we have something to discuss."
"What's the matter Serenity," Hermione asked.
"You're the true heir of Mercury, take this wand and your memories should come flying back to you if not I am mistaking," Serena said with a half smile.
Hermione accepted the wand and immediately her mind was over flown with images from her past life as the Scout of Mercury.
"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER," Hermione shouted and the others smiled.
"Welcome back to us Sailor Mercury," Serenity said already transformed, "Girls we have friends to save."
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER," Mina yelled transforming into Eternal Sailor Venus, and into her gown.
"JUPITER ETERNAL POWER," Lita yelled transforming into Eternal Sailor Jupiter and gaining her final transformation, her own gown.
"URANUS CRYSTAL POWER," Amara yelled transforming into Sailor Uranus.
"NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER," Michelle yelled transforming into Sailor Neptune.
"SATURN CRYSTAL POWER," Haley yelled transforming into Sailor Saturn.
"PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER," Trista yelled transforming into Sailor Pluto.
They all teleported including Stratus to the battle where they found once more Harry battling by himself while holding a shield around the entire Burrow and it's occupants. Then something strange happened Serenity fell to the ground from a blast behind her and something inside Harry snapped releasing the memories of Endymion to him.
He was immediately transformed into armor and had two swords hanging by his side, he let out a magical wave and immediately all the death eaters were on the ground and then the monster decided to show himself.
"How dare you attack those you fight from behind you coward," Harry yelled.
"Protect the princess scouts," Harry yelled to them and they nodded as they watched Harry rush for the monster and in seconds had the thing dusted just by using his regular power and not Endymion's.
After defeating the monster he transformed back into Harry who sprinted to Serena's side and healed her with the golden crystal.
"Harry what happened?" Serenity asked.
"Don't worry Serena you're alright, you were hit from behind by a monster but it's alright both the death eaters and the monster are gone for good. I guess the death eaters could not stand the magical wave that was emitted and were simply gone, they dropped to the ground and surrendered," Harry said as he wasn't sure how to tell her he was also Endymion but he didn't have too.
"The cool thing was Harry transformed into Endymion after witnessing you get hit from behind, unleashed the magical wave and then kicked monster ass," Amara said.
"It does seem that I miss everything important," Serena said with a laugh letting go her transformation as well and everyone laughed.
Serena and Harry went off by themselves for a bit because they really needed to talk about things especially since Harry had his imposters memories as well.
"I know what he did to you Serena," Harry said sadly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Serena said avoiding his eyes.
"Yes you do, he practically raped you the one night before you finding him and Rei together," Harry said angrily.
"I know what he did to me Harry and I don't want to talk about it alright, the girls don't even know that first piece and they aren't going to find out," Serena said, "I just want to forget and move on alright?" she asked him.
"Alright but you need to know that I love you and I'm here for you when you are ready to talk about it," Harry said pulling her in to him for comfort.
"I know but it's all still fresh you know, but I love you too and eventually I might be ready to talk about it," Serena said.
Meanwhile in Tokyo Darien, Rei and Ami were recruited by the Dark Moon family and they were given instructions to find the Princess and her silver crystal, being as smart as she was Ami would figure it out in no time but the other two were searching as well.
"Darien do you have anything that Serena might have touched still?" Rei asked him.
"Maybe why?" Darien asked.
"Because I could use it to get a fire reading and hopefully a location so we can pay the moon brat back for what she has done to us," Rei said with an evil glint in her eyes.
"You do realize that she will know when we find her and she will fight," Darien said.
"Yeah I know and we will probably die depending is she's gotten over us yet and if she has we might not have enough power to beat her and her brother let alone if she has found the real Endymion," Rei said, " but something of hers would help in finding her a lot more quickly."
