Lady of the Stars
Chapter 6:
Luna sighed for what seemed the millionth time that day. She was currently bored out of her mind, at the Burrow, which had become the new Order Headquarters. It became so after the order discovered from Pettigrew that Grimmauld place had been put on a Death Eater watch list.
Even though she had only been at the Weasleys' for two days now she wanted out, she didn't feel like hanging out with the others because all they would do was ask her questions. However she was not allowed to leave as the Order believed that she was in danger of being captured by Death Eaters because she knew the new power that had appeared. Therefore she was to stay here for the entire summer until it was time to head back to Hogwarts.
'I bet they are really keeping me here because I won't answer any of their questions about Sere,' she complained in her mind, stomping her foot in agreement of her thoughts.
As soon as Sere had disappeared she had been bombarded with questions about her and she knew that she would not be able to answer. The reason for this was either because she was forbidden to tell and she would never betray her idol's trust or she just did not know the answer. 'It's not like I know everything there is to know about Cosmos. She isn't going to tell me all her secrets when I tremble at some of the details of the stories she tells me. Merlin!' Luna continued to rant in her mind with frustration, as she paced the length of the room she shared with Ginny and Hermione.
She had been brought here with only her trunk of school stuff and a quick hello and goodbye to her dad. 'I didn't even have time to get my books about the Crumpled Horn Snorflack!' she whined. She continued to pace the room ranting in her head letting out sighs of hopelessness. 'Why couldn't Sere have taken me with her? She is probably at the Manor right now relaxing and reading up on other worlds and creatures.' She sighed again. 'What I wouldn't give to be able to read those books!' Her eyes clouded over as she thought of all the strange mystical creatures there could be in those books. People didn't believe her when she mentioned strange creatures but she knew that in those books there was proof. 'I know it if only I could spend all my time in there, I'd find proof.' Her thoughts determined.
Serenity huffed in annoyance again wondering how she was going to solve her latest dilemma. As soon as she had come back from the ministry she locked herself in her office trying to come up with a plan to defeat the last bit of Chaos.
'Why does he have to be here of all places?' she huffed, throwing her hands in the air in exasperation. 'The place where I leave Luna is where the last part of Chaos is. Well isn't that ironic! And to make matters worse there is a prophecy preventing me from acting directly!'
With one last sigh in resignation she pushed away from the desk she was sitting at deciding she was not going to get anything done this way. 'I might as well take a break maybe I will have an epiphany because this doesn't seem to be helping.' She left her office in search of Giles in hope that he will help her unwind.
Sere walked into the living room that was situated on the ground floor of the manor. The room was in the corner of the manor with two of the walls being of full length windows which looked out over the country. The other two walls were magnolia with designs of flowers, leaves and vines curling along them in emerald green, matching the carpet. On the walls were two large pictures of a forest woodland scene each beautiful and rare in their own right. The room contained a fireplace, which resembled the one in the study that was burning brightly, warming the room on the cold day. There were 3 large couches all arranged around the fire which held above it a plasma screen TV, something that is usually only used to watch the news.
Sere curled up on one of the couches and rung the bell that was on the table. Immediately Giles came in with a tray with cups of hot cocoa and cookies knowing that she needed to relax. He set the tray down on the coffee table and Sere reached across and grabbed a cup and a cookie, humming her approval. Giles sat down on a couch looking at Serenity, knowing she wanted to talk and waiting for her to in her own time.
"I went and destroyed the Veil in the Ministry," she sipped her drink thinking on what happened. "Everything went fine but as I was about to go, I felt familiar residual energy… It was Chaos; he has placed his last piece here and is aiding this Voldemort character." Giles gasped but did not interrupt. "Isn't it ironic how, out of the whole cosmos, Chaos decides to place the last piece of himself on the exact planet that I place my charge, in the same country no less." Taking a deep breath she calmed herself. "And to make matters worse I now have to be careful how I go about capturing him as there is a stupid prophecy in the way." She huffed. "So, because of Fate and Destiny's stupid prophecy I have to find an indirect way of ridding Chaos that does not prevent the prophecy from occurring, and all the while worry over Luna being involved."
She took a sip of the drink, while Giles stared at her thoughtfully before he stood and started to look around the room for something. Serenity spoke again regardless of his scavenging, "I suppose it could be worse. I just have to be careful about how I go about this. But where to start." She ended thoughtfully just as Giles came back to the couch with a newspaper in his hands. He handed it to Sere pointing to an article in the job vacancies column. "I think you might find this helpful, it would put you in the prime position to carry out your mission while also giving you the chance to look after Luna."
Serenity looked at the article with an ever-growing smile spreading across her face as plans formed in her mind after looking at on simple article:

"This is brilliant! I will actually be at Hogwarts where the main targets for Voldemort are." She rose from her seat getting ready to go back to her study. "Thank you Giles for showing this to me. All I have to do is give in a spectacular CV and all will be well. Now who do we know that is in the position to verify any claims I make…" She trailed off as she walked out the door newspaper in hand, while Giles shook his head with a smile on his face. He reminisced how long it had been since she had been this excited as he cleaned up the cups and empty biscuit plate.
