Chapter 1
Remnants
Harry's Bed, the Hogwart's Infirmary, 1994, the day after the Third Task
Harry turns in his sleep, instead of nightmares like he expected he is instead dreaming, dreaming of a time long gone.
Hydrous of Mercury walks along a dirt path, despite the advancement of their magic and their gleaming cities the people of his time preferred the simple life without distractions or fancy gizmos. Nothing but pure magic and wonder, although he had heard that the people of Mars and the Gas Giants had to rely on certain technologies that the equivalent magic to do so was more cost-prohibitive.
Hydrous liked his job, he was a simple farmer, but like most Mercurians he had a knack for ice and water magics. He often spent hours working on his magics hoping to obtain the highest non-avatar levels available.
"Hydrous" a feminine shout cries out.
Hydrous glances up distracted from his thoughts, to see Amilane waving to him from the shade of a cypress tree. A blue haired elegant woman and a friend of his Amilane was a court mage that worked for the Queen of Mercury, she often inspired him when he was feeling down and he loved her company, no he loved her. But he was a simple peasant and her a court mage, perhaps one day, he would prove himself worthy. But to be honest he cared little for worth, even if he couldn't openly love her, he still cherished every moment spent with her.
Hydrous smiles as he runs over to Amilane
Harry jolts upwards, he puts a hand over his racing heart, he had no idea what inspired that dream, but… he couldn't help but be jealous of the simple life that this 'Hydrous' had. He idly wonders if just for one moment he could have that life.
Hedwig his Snowy Owl and trusted companion flies down to him holding a letter. Harry picks up the letter and opens it while absentmindedly patting Hedwig.
For the first time that year, Harry smiles.

Just as Harry Potter is waking up in Scotland, in the Azabu-Juuban district of Tokyo. A young girl by the name of Ami Mizuno is going to sleep. Secretly however she is the reincarnation of the ancient warrior, Sailor Mercury.
As she lays down and enters her dreams, she pulled into memories of a distant past.
Amilane, Senshi and Queen of Mercury. Smiles as she walks towards a cypress tree growing in the hinterlands of Mercury. Every day at around three in the afternoon she uses her power and skill at magic to secret herself from the palace and sneak out disguised to this far part of her world. Luckily her name is a fairly common one among the women of her world. Whether that was the reason she had or she was the reason it was common is debatable.
She waits patiently for the reason she continues to sneak out of her palace, in the distance a black haired man with brilliant emerald eyes walks towards her thinking deeply about something.
"Hydrous" she calls out to him.
His head quickly shoots up and he smiles softly at her, her heart melts like it always does at his rare smiles.
Originally she had come out her for some peace and quiet after a stressful day in court, but that day she had met Hydrous and told him that she was a simple court mage. After learning that he was trying to improve his magic she had taken to teaching him, instructing him as she often tried to do for the young princess Serenity. Hydrous was by far a better student. Amilane smiles softly as she realizes that over the weeks that she had been coming out here, she had fallen for this kind, humble man who only sought to improve himself because he thought it his duty. To him she was Amilane the court mage, not Amilane the Senshi and Queen of Mercury. Amilane lets herself dream of child with black and blue hair and emerald eyes, but then sighs, if she ever told him the truth. Would he trust her? Amilane lets the dream sink into the depths of her heart, just like her impossible love for the humble man who'd claimed her heart so totally.
Ami slowly wakes from her dreams of the past with tears in her eyes, for one moment she wished she was back there on Mercury under the Cypress Tree dreaming of the children she wished she could have had with Hydrous.
Ami then shakes her head to clear it, those days are long gone and he no longer exists, and since she had kept his importance to her secret, she knew that the chances of his reincarnation were slim. Then Ami smiles to herself, 'A slim chance, is still better than none. Perhaps, perhaps one day I will find him' Ami steels herself for the day.

Later that day after school had finished, Ami meets up with the rest of the reincarnated Senshi of the Silver Millennium at the Hikawa Shrine. Expecting the average bickering between Rei and Usagi, she is instead shocked when…
"Ami are you okay? You were distracted all day" Usagi asks in a tender tone. Makoto and Minako both jump in shock that Usagi had noticed but they hadn't.
Ami quickly weighs the pros and cons of talking about her dream and then decides to anyways "It was a dream I had last night, or maybe I should say it was a memory"
"A Memory" Luna, Usagi's advisor and confident (and a black cat that can talk)
"A memory of what?" the other advisor, Minako's the white cat Artemis (Who is a guy)
Ami smiles wistfully "Of the Silver Millennium" the rest of the girls and their two advisors are in shock. Before they can say anything Ami continues "It was of myself as everyday at exactly three o'clock I would sneak away from my duties and go to the far plains on the other side of Mercury, the sun would just be rising and I would wait under a cypress tree for him to appear"
Minako perks up "Oh, him? Who was it, a knight, a prince, some lord?"
Ami shakes her head "None of those, his name was Hydrous and he was a simple farmer. He never knew who I really was, to him I was Amilane the court mage, not Amilane the Senshi and Queen of Mercury. When I first met him he was trying to improve his magic, soon I was sneaking out every day at the same time to teach him. He was apparently a far better student then Usagi was during the Silver Millennium. During those times of peace and friendship. I fell for him, but because he was a farmer I couldn't act on my feelings, all I ever had was the memories of his friendship and the dreams of the children I wished I could have had with him"
Usagi slightly teary gently hugs Ami "Aww, perhaps he got reincarnated too?"
Ami shakes her head "I never told anyone, so I doubt that Queen Serenity knew, so even if he was reincarnated, he probably either is far older then us, already moved on or hasn't been born yet. The chances of him being my age are astronomical" Ami starts to tear up again at the thoughts of never seeing her secret love again, or worse, finding him only to see him with someone else.
The other Senshi quickly engulf Ami in a hug.

Gazing from the ruins of her palace the spirit of Queen Serenity smiles slightly 'My dear Amilane, you were never as stealthy as you thought, I just wish you had come to me. I would have happily granted Hydrous a title so you could be with him' A ear-splitting grin covers her face 'Well, perhaps I'll have to do a little matchmaking… I wonder if Ami is willing to share, Hydrous is still the humble spirit he was in his past life, only now he is also a hero in his current life. I'm afraid the girls will be drawn to him, and I'm not too sure that Endymion still bats for our team'
