HP/Sailor Moon (Earlier this Year/2013)
Mercurian Wizard
(Almost exactly the Same as the previous incarnation, I simply moved the timeline back a year so that Harry got involved right at the start of the Sailor Moon Anime/Manga)
Chapter 1

Harry's Bed, the Gryffindor Boys room, 1993, the day after the Sirius' Escape.
Harry turned in his sleep, instead of nightmares like he expected he is instead dreaming, dreaming of a time long gone.
Hydrous of Mercury walked 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 cried out.
Hydrous glanced 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 launched upwards into a sitting position, he placed 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 wondered if just for one moment he could have had that life.
Hedwig his Snowy Owl and trusted companion flew down to him holding a letter. Harry picked up the letter and opened it while absentmindedly patting Hedwig.
For the first time that year, Harry smiled.

Just as Harry Potter was waking up in Scotland, in the Azabu-Juuban district of Tokyo. A young girl by the name of Ami Mizuno was going to sleep. Unknown however to the world at large and even the girl herself, she is the reincarnation of the ancient warrior and queen, Sailor Mercury.
As she lay down and entered her dreams, she was pulled into memories of a distant past.
Amilane, Senshi and Queen of Mercury, smiled as she walked down a dirt path towards a cypress tree growing in the hinterlands of Mercury. Every day at around three in the afternoon she would use 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 it in the first place or she was the reason it was common is debatable.
She waited patiently under the tree for several minutes for the reason she continued 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 called out to him.
His head quickly shot up and he smiled 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 encountered 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 smiled softly to herself as she realized that over the many 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 let herself dream of child with black and blue hair and emerald eyes, but then sighed if she ever told him the truth. Would he trust her? Would the way he treated her change? Would she see betrayal in his eyes? Amilane let 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.
She would watch from afar, but would never be able to feel his love.
Ami slowly woke 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 had day-dreamed she could have had with Hydrous.
Ami then frowned, she wondered where that dream had come from, she had never experienced anything like that before. She sighed while looking up at the roof of her bedroom, for a split second, she was actually jealous. Ami hated the fact that she has no friends her age due to her intelligence and dedication to schoolwork, everyone just considered her a bookworm, she wished that one day she could have someone, someone like Hydrous.
Inside the depths of her soul however, the spirit of Amilane smiled. 'At least my reincarnation has a chance of love'

King's Cross Train Station
"Apparently all I had to say was that I'd never had a trial and the Muggles dropped the charges like a hot brick" Sirius Black shook his head in amusement at the stupidity of the Ministry of Magic.
Harry sniggered as Sirius' look "So the ministry never realized that without a trial the muggles wouldn't take you into custody"
Sirius shook his head again with a large grin on his face "Nope, bunch of morons, the lot of them" Sirius then turned to Harry and smirked "Now Prongslet, we've got a vacation to attend to. Since the Goblins don't care about the drivel the ministry spouts. They have arranged a nice little getaway house in Japan for me, and I want you to come with me"
Harry's eyes bugged out "Come with you? Is that alright?"
Sirius smirked in amusement "It's not like Dumbledore can do anything about it, I'm your guardian by law and magic. The Goblins retrieved your vault keys for me and gave them to me. I'm also considering removing you from Hogwarts, you're too well known. I'm an old friend of the priest of the Hikawa Shrine in Tokyo. I'm sure he'd be happy to teach you magic" Harry looked down with conflicting feelings, he didn't know what to choose, his friends or Sirius
Sirius noticed the conflict on Harry's face, sighed and then said "Harry your friends will understand if you shift to Japan with me I'm sure. I know that you hate your fame and the rivalries here, Japan could be a fresh start. At the very least we'll no longer have to worry about the ministry or random Death Eaters coming after you,"
Harry stopped and thought for a second and then nodded "Sure thing Sirius, I hate to leave Hermione her all alone, but I think she'll understand"
Sirius' right eyebrow started to rise "Hermione? But not Ronald?"
Harry snorted in amusement "Ron the garbage compactor? He'll be fine, he's a pureblood and has other friends. Hermione on the other hand only has me and Ron, and I think Ron is only friends with her just so he can copy of her homework. He's a nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he's a lazy, unmotivated, tactless arsehole"
Sirius raised his left eyebrow slowly at Harry, until both of his eyebrows were hiding in his hairline and then he said "Is Harry 'I'd never believe a bad word about my friends' Potter bad mouthing one of his friends?"
Harry gave Sirius a flat stare and deadpanned "No, I never notice the giant vacuum right next to me devouring everything in sight"
Sirius snickered loudly, sounding very much like his Animagus form, and replied with "I guess that was kind of a stupid question"
Harry smacked Sirius on the back of the head "Stupid comments get a stupid response"
Sirius stared at Harry flatly "Why the slap?"
Harry grinned widely "Bad dogs need to be punished"
Sirius grinned back at Harry "The son of Prongs starting his pranks huh? Oh well, come on, we need to get to the airport, I already had the passport made up while I was waiting"
