Chapter 6:

It was Ami's Turn.

She was sure it was, or? Would be. A certain first-semester Gryffendor had been keeping a watchful-eye on her,

whenever she was able to. Which made breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after-class hours at the Gryffendor Tower

very interesting. Wil Tesla had not been overtly-hostile to Ami Snape-Mizuno, quite unlike the reports she'd

gotten - daily - from Rei and Minako, via Makoto, about the Princess' companions. Inverse and Ul Copt seemed

to be torturing Mars and Venus with nighmares for some unknown reason.

But? The Princess of Seyruun, though a bit chaotic (or, "Quixotic"?), was not even covertly-hostile to Amelia

Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno! Of course, this did not mean she didn't still scare the poor child silly! It

just meant that she did not try to! She really didn't!

So? It should have come as no great susprise when one night - as the Gryffendors were filing back into their

dorm-rooms from the Class on Astrology - Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun lightly tapped Amelia Serephina Snape-Mizuno

lightly on the shoulder (almost a caress) and whispered:

"It is time to talk, Ami-imouto."

And, Ami leaped straight-up like a startled cat! Then , she spun around! And finally, when she landed, she did

so as gracefully as a sack of rice! Right on her butt.

"Itai!" Snape-Mizuno hissed. "What.. do you wish.. to talk.. about.. Seyruun.. sama?!"

"Gomennissai, Amelia-Imouto!" The Princess of Seiruun gently picked up the upperclassman with a warm hug and

a kiss. "I do not mean to hurt you! It will not happen, again!"

"Iiede, iiede, iiede!" Ami found herself stammering, ansd praying no other Gryffendors were observing her. "It is

not that. Iyaa. It is just.. just.." Ami suddenly felt a blush burn through her from the top of her skull to the

tips of her toes. "Only Usagi-chan may touch me like that?"

She then felt her blush burn like a fever!

'Oh, Kamisama! What have I done? What can I do? What if Ryu-kun finds out? What if Kaasan find out? What if Tousan

finds out? Will they disown me? What if Usagi...?'

Ami started to pant and hyperventilate, and whimper!

"Come, imouto!" Wil Tesla whispered into Ami's ear. "Let us get to your dorm? We will speak there!"

"Hai, Aneue!" Ami willingly complied, happy to get out of the staircase, feeling - for some reason - very naked!

When they made it two the refuge of the Girls' dorm, after magically locking the door, Ami spun sharply to Amelia Wil

Telsa Seyruun:

"Now, Sayruun-hime!" Ami breathed out so hard that her whisper came out husky and gutteral. "What do.. you WISH..

to ASK me?"

"Are you .. alright .. Mistress Snape?" Amelia demurred to Ami.

"Iyaa?" Ami croaked out her reply as truthfully as she could. "Not since Seaence. Where I first met... your

image?"

"Seaence?!" Amelia's eyes widened in surprise. "Trained in seaence? VERY dangerous to untrained! Who was at seaence?"

"Mostly Gryffendors, some Pufflepuffs, hai." Ami remembered. "Rei-baka.. Minako-baka.. baka, baka, baka, baka."

Temmporarily forgeting why she wanted to speak to the Potion-Master's daughter in the first place, Amelia Wil Tesla

became very much the Protector, and cast a healing-circle, which stripped herelf and then stripped Ami, and cast a

spell to light incense-candles and produce messauging-oil, and levitated Ami onto her bed!

"What are.. are you doing?" An astonished Ami whispered.

"Treating you." Wil Tesla whispered. "Victim of Seaence! Suffering Post-Traumatic Stress! Now? Lie still."

"Ara.. Hai!" Amelia Katherine Seraphim whispered an affirmative. She was puzzled, and a bit frightened, by Amelia Wil

Tesla's sudden change-of-actions, but her messauging-touches, when they started, were as gentle - and as firm - as her

mother's. Slowly, Ami was being lulled to a healing-sleep.

"Oyasuminasai.. kaasan.."

When she awoke a couple of hours later, naked, Ami looked around, carefully. Amelia Wil Tesla was sitting on Ami's desk,

naked, except for a kitchen-apron around her front which did nothing to hide her hips and breasts!

"French-maid?" Ami peeped. "As I remember your image looking like that! Your shape.. I mean." Ami whispered, slowly, and

apologetically. She felt another blush building, and clinched, and reclenched, her fists and toes to try to beat it down.

"I thought you could use some tea, Mistress Snape-Mizuno!" Wil Tesla whispered through a smile. "Even with messauge?

Mind is still tense from seance! Hai."

"Hai." Ami quietly chirped. "Arigatounissai." Then, as she sipped her tea, Ami thought of a question:

"You are.. a healer, Amelia Wil Tesla? Who taught you?"

"Okaasan was healer!" Amelia chirped. "Okaasan no Otousan was healer, hai. Inherited magicks from both families!

Okaasan taught me healing-spells. Had to practice on Lina-mistress, many times! Hai. Gourry ano Zeldagis dano."

"Gourry?" Ami suddenly sat up in her bed, dropping the covers and blanket from her breasts and belly and a part of

her pelvic mound without ever noticing. A few blue pelvic hairs peeked out. "Zeldagis?"

"Hai!" Wil Tesla suddenly perked up and smiled at memories as she leaned over the foot of Ami's bed. "Gourry

Gabriev ano Zeldagris Greyswords! I think Lina ano Gourry are lovers! Sound like it, anyway! Always arguing like

old husband and wife! Greysword-Sama is..."

Now, it was Wil Tesla's turn to blush!

"Boyfriend?" Amelia Seraphina asked, a small smile on her lips and her pointer-finger tapping a tempel.

"I hope so." Wil Tesla whispered as she started rubbing Ami's feet and shins. "Do.. you have a boyfriend,

Mistress Amelia?"

"I.. hope so?" Ami blushed lightly. "My Ryu? Hai! For a long time.. I was alone. This will sound silly, I know,

but? Far long time? I was allergic to love! Even the idea of love-letters would make me break out in rash."

"Not silly. And, not crazy!" Amelia Wil Tesla leaned in to lightly kiss Amelia Seraphina and lightly caress her.

"The mind can often influence the body! Kaasan taught me that. So.. you have a boyfriend! Do you have a..", Amelia

gently kissed her, again:

"Girlfriend?"

"G- G- G- Girlfriend? You mean like..?" Ami turned as red as an apple in less than a minute! "Why.. why do you..?

Do you.. want to be.. my...? I.. I.. do not know? M- M- Maybe..?" Ami started to hyperventilate, again.

"Maybe, Rei?" Amelia quizzed, and lightly teased, Ami.

"Rei-chan?!" Ami hopped up lightly from her bed. "Iyaa! Too bossy!"

"Maybe, Minako?" Amelia quizzed the blunette, again.

"Minako-baka?" Ami tried to keep her voice down as she holded her arms across he breasts! "Iiede. Minako is..."

"Baka?" Amelia queried.

"Worse than baka!" Ami snapped. "Minako is Minako! Kaasan would label me 'insane' if I even brought Minako home!

Would call 's to get me! Iyaa. Would fly into 's, myself, from Madame Hooch' part of Quiddich-field!

Save Kaasan trouble of contact with Assylem. Hai. Would send Minako-baka to Azkaban! Hai."

"What about Makoto-chan?" Amelia asked, getting a little closer to Ami.

"Mako-chan..?" Ami lingered over the name of the tall brunette, a smile playing on her lips. "Maybe? She is nice

to my Usagi! Good girl!"

Amelia Wil Tesla then slid into Amelia Seraphina's bed and scooted next to her under the covers, touching flesh

against flesh:

"What about.. Usagi-Sama?"

"Usagi-chan?" Ami meeped excitedly. "I.. I.. I could not.. could not.. could.. not.. she.. she is aneue!"

"Aneue?" Wil Tesla asked Ami as she circled Ami's belly and breasts.

"Sister I wish I had!" Ami whimpered. "Must never know? How.. I feel? Do not wish her hurt? Want to protect her.

MUST protect her! Hai! Oldest friendship I have."

"Then we have something in common, Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape-Mizuno!" Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun sat up and

smiled. "Hai. Why friends and me are at Hogwarts! Mistress Filia and Master Xellos had son, but lost him, somehow,

to time-stream! Been searching for him, since. Son may have been found? Do not know? But! Think son had children?

Or, has? Hai. Mother and father both want to make sure children are safe. So? If Usagi is who we think she is? We

have a reason to watch over her. And? You have two! Two lifetimes to protect and love her, Senshi! Hai. We know

who you are. We have our ways of learning! Do not worry, You will be safe. Just make sure Usagi feels safe! And,

loved! As loved as you, Mistress Amelia."

After the maussage and talk, Wil Tesla kissed Ami goodbye and magically dressed. As she left, Ami arose from her

bed, barefoot and only wrapped in a bedsheet, and, before she reclosed the door, softly embraced and kissed Amelia

Wil Tesla:

"Thank you," Ami smiled shily. "For helping me. And? For helping Usagi-aneue!"

That day at breakfast - and, all during school - Ami would catch herself watching, and mentally-examining,

and cross-examining, each of her fellow Sailorsenshi. As if grading them.

She remembered her early-morning (she was sure of the time) talk she had had with Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, and -

after fighting a blush (and sudden-need to rub herself) - she began to evaluate the Senshi!

Ami started going up her table at breakfast, staring hard at Hino Rei. She had always tried to look past

the Miko's faults, but, part of her had always considered Rei to be too bossy, and a bit harsh! Especially, harsh

on her Usagi. However, if Ami had to be truthful, she had been condescending to Usagi, at times. Too many times,

she felt. And, now, she hated herself for that! Right now, see just wanted to fall on her knees and beg Usagi to

forgive her for every possibly-mean thing she had ever said to the poor girl!

Actually, and Ami tried not to even giggle at this, what she really wanted was to do was strip naked in front

of Usagi, hope the other girls were watching, fall to the stone floor as if dead, then crawl painfully to her

Princess and kiss and worship her feet!

Maybe, take one of Usagi's feet and put it in her...? Iiede! Very yuri. TOO Yuri. And too open! Maybe in Usagi's

dorm-room in Slytherin-Tower?

Sighing, Amelia Seraphim Snape-Mizuno tried to push that thought out of her head, or (at least) to the very

back of her mind:

'Be a good little yuri, and STAY QUIET! For now?'

Maybe - it was for the best that Ami was exiled from her Princess? A sort of divine-punishment?

Then, she scanned to Makoto. She wondered why Makoto was not having breakfast with Rei?

'Probably keeping a safe distance from Senshi-Pyromaniac! For now? Or? Staying out of line of..?'

She then looked to the Slytherin Table, and a certain redhead:

'OH!' Ami smiled. 'Slytherin's OWN Pyromaniac! Hai!'

Ami then waved to Lina, bowed politely, and resumed her gazing at Makoto:

'Hai. Makoto is kind to my Usagi. Very good girl! Very kind. Would not hurt my Usagi.'

Ami's eyes suddenly widened: 'MY Usagi?'

And, from somewhere in corner of her mind, she felt.. somebody.. someone familiar.. smile and nod.

Ami's stray-thought caused her to look farther up the Slytherin Table, to Usagi, herself.

Ami then imagined her Princess as the Queen she was destined to become. And, herself serving her, clad only

in a sapphire collar:

'Quiet, Yuri! Stay down, I said! Like good girl. Play later! Maybe.. play with Usagi-ane?'

Amelia Katherine Seraphim then noticed, again, how close and protective the new-Slytherins, Xellos and Filia,

were to her Usagi:

'If wardens will let us in, maybe? Would love to know what Mizuko and Ul Copt THINK they know!'

Lastly, Amelia Seraphim laid her eyes back upon her own table, and upon Aino Minako. And, she growled:

'Minako IS Minako! Would bite her head off, Would, probably, be poisoned demo!'

And? From that same corner of her mind, she heard a soft tinkling giggle!

At the end of the day, and having to look across the classrooms at Minako-the-Clueless in each class,

sometimes - most times - using the same puppy-eyes she had lookeed at Usagi with, a weary Amelia Seraphim

closed the door to her dorm-room, locked the door, opened the window to let in the cold Scottish breezes,

stripped out her clothes (forgetting to put on her nightchothes, this time, and forgetting the girl's-dorms

were shared), and fell across her bed! Soon, she was asleep.

"Aino Minako-chan is a great warrior! She is bakayarou dano." Sailormercury said to Amelia Seraphim. "Would

get food-poisoning from biting her head off dano. Do not do it! No matter how much that head needs replacing!"

"You - heard - that?" Ami gaped after each word.

"I heard!" Sailormercury chirped and grinned. "I agreed! Hai hai!"

"You heard?" Ami started to tremble. "You hear my thoughts of Usagi? I am dead. Will commit seppuku! Hai."

"Will not commit seppuku, Amelia Katherine Seraphim! Iyaa. You will stand tall! stand proud! As Senshi! As

friend! I had.. have.. same thoughts about my Princess. Hai." Mercury smiled and swayed towards Ami. "Kukuku! Have

to fight Mars, many times, over our Princess! Hee Hee! Same thoughts, also, of my Prince as you do of your Ryu.

Hai. We are lucky! I see my Zoisite, again, in my world! You see your Ryu in yours. Maybe? When time come to join

me and Zoisite? We and you and Ryu can double-date? Maybe, Dance and ice-cream? Or, maybe, something else?"

Ami just stared at her Senshi-sister!Would her Ryo go for that?

Ami then smiled and hugged Mercury tightly! Sailormercury, even official-looking in her Seifuku, was as easy to

get along with as Usagi, and as with Amelia Wil Tesla.

Amelia Wil Tesla?

Amelia Seraphim's eyes shot up:

"Sailormercury! May I ask a question?"

"You may ask, Amelia Katherine Seraphim!" Mercury smiled. "I will answer as I can! Hai."

Mercury then magically produced a Fidchell-board. "May we play a game, Madame Snape-Mizuno? Fidchell often used to

divine questions of future?"

Accepting the challange, Ami soon found herself in the first three moves of the game what she started asking Mercury

questions.

"This may sound strange!" Ami warned. "May be intrusive. Demo. What is known of Princess Serenity's family? Of father?"

"Was hoping someone would ask that!" Mercury clapped and smiled after she played her next move. "Hai hai! King died

after I come to royal-court as child! Before Venus and Mars come to court. Very good husband to Queen! Hai! Perfect

Consort. Very protective of Queen and children! Serenity never forget him. Or? Their son! Iyaa, Never forget! Princess

never forget father or brother. Never wanted to."

"King?" Ami asked Mercury as she poured the Senshi some coffee then continued the game. "What was known of king?"

"Nothing definitive!" Mercury said as she sipped her coffee and moved her piece. "Queen said King was childhood-friend

and protector! Was not from Luna demo! Queen did not know where he was from! No one knew who his parents were! Guessed he

was orphaned? Did not age like Lunarian! Looked a bit dragonish! Always protective of wife and children. Had strange sense

of humor dano! Moreso than most dragons we knew of?"

"Wait a minute!" Ami suddenly remembered something. "Hit 'rewind', onegai? 'Children?' Thaught Serenity was only-child?"

"Iyaa." Mercury's eyes showed sadness. "Serenity was imouto. Had older-brother. He died after father. Why Princess never

wanted to forget! Sister close to brother. Family VERY close. Hai. Closer after deaths of king and prince. Why Senshi always

felt like sisters! Hai. Become part of Lunarian family. Not just royal-gaurds. Serenity-Usagi-hime never forgot father or

older-brother. Always develope sad smile and quiver in lip when she remembered saying 'sayanara'! Always wanted to hold Hime

close to me at those times, hai. Serenity and I have similar family-history. I lose mother. Serenity lose father. We, both,

wanted - NEEDED - to remember what was lost. Felt hime was closest-sister at those times."

Ami then stepped from and around the table to embrace Mercury, the sister she never realized she had, in a tight, sympathetic,

hug.

'Just like Usagi-ane!' Ami smiled.

"Who is this.. 'Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun'? I would.. love.. to meet her?" Mercury asked Ami.

"You shall meet." Ami smiled, then pondered. "Mercury? What was name of king and prince?"

"Prince was named 'Shinobi'!" Mercury grinned as she remembered, and she giggled. "King was named.. hee hee.. 'Xillas'?

I think I remember? It was long ago."

Thursdays at the noon-hour were wonderful times for Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape-Mizuno! She had time to wander and disappear

before her next classes. This time, with purpose, she went to see her father.

Amelia Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno slipped off her shoes, and was quiet as she entered the Dungeoun. The rest of the

students were at lunch, or having classes outside.

But, Severus Snape knew EXACTLY where his bluenette daughter was!

"You are almost as good at keeping silent as your mother, Amelia Katherine Seraphim! Heh heh. Almost. Your mother will be proud of

your accomplishment! Yes. Very much. So? What brings you to the dungeouns? Class is over?"

"I need to speak to you, Tousan." Ami Snape-Mizuno bowed reverently to the Potions' Master. "Am Gryffendoro demo. Thanks to

Hat-baka! Cannot just dance into Slytherin. Even when I need to! Need to speak to you, hai. Need to speak to Usagi."

"To Usagi. About Usagi. And, her new companions? Yes?" Severus smirked. "Is the Hime-no-Mercury afraid of

losing her position as Protector? Are you afraid of losing a friendship, Amelia-musume?"

"No! No." Ami fidgeted, as she remembered her run-in with Amelia Wil Tesla, and blushed lightly. "It is.. not

that. I have found that.. once you are Usagi's friend, you stay her friend! As Mercury says The Hime-no-Tsuki is

with the Senshi! No. No. It is, more, about a conversation I had, two nights ago! After Aastrology class, with

another Gryffendor!"

"Ah! A first-year, mayhap?" Severus smiled in inquiry. His daughter was just the right combination of Snape and

Mizuno. "The Seyruun child, perchance? Amelia Wil Tesla?"

"Yes, Dad", Ami smiled, then lost that smile, "it was. The Princess of Seyruun told me that she and her friends

had a reason to watch over Usagi. Than, she told me that.. that, I had two! I guessed that she meant that I had a

reason to watch over Usagi, and that Mercury had a reason to watch over The Princess! Then, last night, I found

myself playing a game of fidchell with the Princess Mercury. It was in the dream that she told me something

unnerving! She said that - although Serenity was a Lunarian, as was Serenity's mother, her father was not! In fact?

No one knew what his origins were! He just appeared one day when Serenity was a child, and stayed to be her companion

and protector! Then, he died one day! It was shortly after the birth of a second-child, Serenity-hime. Mercury said

the Princess always developed a sad smile when she remembered her father and brother. And that Serenity was at her

saddest when she remembered saying 'sayonara' when the family buried Hime's otousan."

Ami than smiled at her Dad. "May I have a cup of coffee, please? My next class is 'History of Magic.' And, I

do not wish to fall asleep during one of Professor Binz' rants?"

"Unfortunately, that was all that old ghost did when he was alive. From what I have heard from Albus. 'History?',

your grandfather would say. 'More like Propaganda! You're rarely told the other side's story'." Snape smiled

in sympathy as he poured his daughter a cup. "How are you doing with your broom?"

"Learned to calm spirits down!" Ami giggled over her cup. "No longer trying to throw me off, mid-air. Anyway! I

am wanting Usagi to take Goblin blood-test. Want to understand result, for myself. Need to know why Usagi suddenly

become magnet for Ul Copt and Mizuko! Hai. Especially, Ul Copt! Very protective of Usagi! Very. On warpath with

Sailorsenshi! Always looking at Rei and Minako as if they were wanting to hurt my Usagi! Oops! I mean.. hurt

Usagi?"

Severus Snape chuckled at Ami's use of her intelligence. And, her blush! His daughter was, indeed, a Slytherin in

a Gryffendor-uniform! Her need to learn gave her away, as did her desire to keep secrets.

As she sipped the last of her coffee, Ami thought of something else:

"Dad? You said mom studied at Hogwarts? How was she able to blend into Muggle-society? Especially, in Japan?

Certainly, we were seen as strangers?"

Severus smiled as he remembered his life before Hogwarts highjacked him.

"Amelia? True wizards, like you mother and I - and, yourself - can blend into whatever society we find ourselves

in! Your mother and I CHOSE to blend-in to a world where magic was not the norm, just in case you were not born with

magical-abilities! Magical-Britain is, still, not that kind to maggles, or squibs. Even when they come from our own

families! We would still be happy in that society we left ," Snape frowned, "had the fates, and Albus Dumbledor, not

intervened! However? As it turned out? BOTH you and I were placed where - and WHEN - we were needed!"

Ami giggled. "My father is still helping Harry Potter?"

"Even though he does not know it! Or? Appreciates it! Yet." Severus smiled.

"I just wish .. I felt as if I fit in, that I belonged. Here." Ami sighed into her coffee. "It is like Tokyo, all over,

again. I know that I am magickal. I am not a witch, however! Not a very good one. Just like.. I was never good at being

fully-Japanese. Or? Being Senshi. I needed help to be both."

"That is what is wrong, my Amelia?" Severus smiled in sympathy at his daughter. "You miss Tsukino-chan?"

"Yes. Hai." Ami whimpered as she squeezed next to her father. "So lonely. So scared. So weak."

"So like your mother." Severus kissed his daughter's forehead:

"Just rmember this, Amelia Katherina Seraphim Snape, you are a Snape, and you are Mizuno! You are stronger, and braver,

then you realize! And, you are by no means alone. Even at your loneliest! Usagi-aneue will always be by you! As will

Makoto-chan, and Uwada Ryu-kun!"

"Yes, my Amelia," Professor Snape chuckled warmly to his daughter, "your mother has owled me, letting me know what happens

in your life! The people who enter it. I promised her, long ago, that I would come into your lives as I was needed! No matter

WHAT Dumbledope-baka expects of me."

At lunch, the following Friday, Ami went with her father and mother, and Usagi, went on the Hogwarts' Express to Diagon

Alley, and Gringotts. Severus and Saeko had supplies to gather for Hogwarts, and Amelia Katherine Seraphim had some questions

regarding her best friend and Princess.

"Why are we in Gringotts, Ami-chan?" Usagi asked. "Why are rest of guys not here dano?"

"I asked Hino ano Aino to come, my Usagi," Ami giggled softly, "were afraid of Doragons and Redaheadas, for some reason?"

Ami softly and slowly caressed Usagi's spine and lower-back, guiding her into Gringotts.

"Ara. 'MY Usagi'?" Usagi asked Ami. "Imouto is... quite... possessive? Of me?"

"Maybe?" Ami answered suggestively. "You are MINE to.. watch over? Heeheehee!"

Ami then lightly kissed Usagi's ear, dancing her tonguetip along the rim.

And, Usagi tried not to melt - too quickly - into her , now, playfully-agressive blunette!

Usagi somewhat slowed her place, secretly-reveling in Ami's soft touches.

"What is happening to our daughter, my Severu?" Saeko asked her husband, smiling, in a low whisper.

"I - think - it is a talk she had with another Gryffendor, my dearest Saeko!" Severus pondered. "She does seem - quite possessive -

with Miss Tsukino, and protective of her welfare, since talking to Amelia Wil Tesla?"

Saeko smiled softly. "Could be worse! Could be bringing home Aino or Hino! Would be calling 's, then! Call Azkaban to

take Aino-baka dano! Life-sentence."

"Wise decisions, my wife", Severus smirked. And kissed her ear.

Soon, Usagi and the Snapes were in the antechamber of Gringotts:

"How may Gringotts be of service to the family Snape?" A goblin spoke to Severus.

"My wife and I are here to get funds to procure supplies for Hogwarts!" Severus answered the goblin. "Our daughter is here to

ask for an Inheritence Test."

"And, why should the daughter of the Princes and Mizuno wish to determine her inheritence?" The goblin grinned. Inheritences

meant wealth. "Hello, Heiress-Snape! As for Professor Snape's instructions, we have employeed our best inheritor, Bloodnose!"

"Arigatounissai, Griphook-Sama!" Ami smiled and bowed. "The payment will be paid, from my account, as agreed to! Test is for

Tsukino Usagi, my friend and superior demo! Hai. To answer some questions that have.. arisen."

"Understood, Heiress-Snape!" Griphook grinned, teeth gleaming. "As was explained, in a letter, by Lord Snape! Come this way, Lady

Tsukino. You, also, Miss Snape! Come."

Griphook lead the two young women, walking straight and tall, with the Snapes waiting in the lobby, to the offices of Bloodnose.

"Ah!" Bloodnose grinned as Ami lead Usagi in through the doorway. "Someone gaurds a treasure, Heiress-Snape? And, you wish Gringotts

to assay it?"

"Hai, the goblins of Gringotts are honorable with the treasures they guard." Ami bowed. "Usagi, my.. aneue, must learn of the

secrets she holds."

"Yes, yes." Bloodnose grinned hungrily as he withdrew an obsibian knife. "Will Heiress-Tsukino extend her wrist?"

Usagi looked apprehensively at Ami.

"Goshinpainaku, Usagi-Sama!" Ami removed her shoes and knelt on the cold stone floor. "I shall be here, for your use! I promise."

She than kissed Usagi's other hand seductively.

Blooodnose then took the obsidian knife and sliced it across Usagi's palm. Usagi, strangely, did not even flinch as skin was cut

and blood pooled in the lines of her palm. A few drops of Usagi's blood was then mixed with ashes and heated in a candle-flame.

Hypnotically, Amelia Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno looked at the rest of the blood in Usagi's palm, bent her face over that palm,

and lapped up the remining blood of her Mistress. When she was finished, two small spots of blood hung on Ami's chin and the tip of

her nose!

Usagi looked down at her Ami, lightly petted her, and smiled.

Meanwhile, the magical-ink of blood and soot ran down the assayer's parchment, and wrote out the magickal-genealogy of one Tsukino

Usagi.

Bloodnose gently picked up and read the parchment:

"Tsukino Usagi, born in 1978 in Tokyo Prefecture, Honshu, Nippon, the daughter of Ryukun Kenji and Tsukino Ikuko. Sister of

Tsukino Shin. Heir to the House of Tsukino and the House of Mizuko. Direct descendent of Her Majesty Queen Serenity 7th of the Lunari

and Royal-Consort Xillas Ul Copt, son of the High-Priestess Filia Ul Copt and High-Priest Xellos Mizuko. Yes. Inherited-Titles? Queen

of The Lunari, and High-Marshall of the Armies of the Mizuko."

As Bloodnose continued to read Usagi's pedigree and inheritences, Amelia Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno started to smile, and,

slowly and hypnotically, remove her clothes and kneel and lay herself, naked and face down, before Usagi.

After a few minutes of hearing her genealogy, Tsukino Usagi was as still and white as an alabaster statue. "This.. is not me.

This.." She protested in a small, fightened, child-like voice:

"Is the spirit of Serenity. It must be! It has to be. It.. cannot be earth-girl. It.."

"Is you.. my princess." Ami looked up and whispered from where she kneeled, naked, and slowly arose and caressed Usagi to soothe her

troubled-mind. "You, Usagi, have always been you. Who we have waited for! Who I ..have waited for!" She then, slowly, wrapped her arms

around her Princess, her best friend, and kissed her. Passionately.

"I.. I.. ", Usagi breathed out, somehow entranced by Ami's words and touch, "will share you with Ryu, maybe Mako-chan." Then she

grinned a bit like Xellos. "No others demo!"

"'No.. others... Hai.. Usagi.. Sama.'" Ami repeated robotically, entranced by the voice of her Princess. Her voice still held a

child-like quality. But? It was more friendly, and comforting. And? A bit commanding, in an odd manner. Like unto a Siren.

"Ara.. MAYBE Seyruun-chan?" Usagi softly teased a naked Ami. "Seyruun has been good girl to my Ami! Hai."

To this pronouncement, Ami hopped up with a "meep", and plastered her arms and legs as tightly as she could around Usagi!

"I will be yours.. My Sovereign!" Ami whispered through tears of joy. "I am yours."

Then, shily, Amelia Katherina Seraphim asked another question, this one about her other Senshi-sisters:

"My Sovereign? What about Rei-chan and Mina-chan? Are they allowed?"

"I must learn how well they play with others, before I allow them with My Ami!" Usagi lectured. "I.. think they will be busy with

each other demo?"

Ami softly smiled, nodded slowly, and nuzzled into Usagi's neck, inhaling her best friend - her aneue - deeply.

Then, slowly, Ami slid herself off Usagi and stood, once again, with her toes, then her bare feet on the stone-floor. She then

started to slowly re-dress.

"Iyaa, Ami-chan! Not yet, my pet!" Usagi grinned, still seemingly-entranced. "Still need something to dress you, properly! Hai.

Some.. thing..."

Usagi closed her eyes and concentrated, then held out her hands.

As she opened her eyes slowly, a collar of deepest-blue sapphire and lapis-lazuri appeared in her palms:

"From Vault of Tsukino." Usagi whispered.

To Ami, that whisper sounded like a distant thunder, holding the promise of coming, cool, refreshing rains!

Still in her trance, and reliving ancient-memories, Usagi gently clasped and locked the collar around Ami's neck and throat:

Ami "eep"ed as she heard and felt the collar clasp into place. And, she smiled shily. And lightly trembled.

"Wear this, always, my loyal Lieutenant of my Army of the Mizuko!"

"Hai, My Sovereign!" Ami whispered as she closed her eyes and smiled. Then started, again, to slowly redress.

Except for her shoes. Which the young-witch obediently handed to Usagi, who magically-transported back to her

dorm-room.

"Shoes ano feet will stay in my room, hai!" Usagi commanded. "Pet belongs to Owner? Should know where home is!"

Ami's eyes shined with a light of hope! No more would she ever feel lonely.

"This means that.. that..." Usagi was now coming-out of her trance, and piecing together her family's history,

as she looked at Ami, still half-naked, in her collar, and warmly smiling at Usagi.

"Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun is correct!" Ami grinned. "Son of Filia and Xellos WAS lost to time-stream! Son became

companion of Serenity! Hai! Become Lover, then King-Consort!"

"Gone, but, not forgotten!" Usagi softly breathed out. "Shin-itouto.. Shinobi-neesan?.. was right! Filia ano Xellos

MAKE good-company for Kaasan ano Tousan!"

Usagi then hugged her Ami tightly!

"Aishiteru, imouto! Come! Lieutenant Mizuno, Princess of Mercury! Let us get back to Hogwarts, together! You and I!

After.. some ice-cream?"

Ami giggled, then felt that giggle grow into a full laugh! She did not care who heard her! She no longer even cared

who saw her, however naked she might be! She knew who she was. She was Amelia Katherine Seraphim Snape-Mizuno, daughter

of Severus Snape and Saeko Mizuno. She was a witch. And she was the prized-pet of Usagi Tsukino! And she had never felt

more free, or more loved!

Meanwhile, Saeko Mizuno-Snape's ears caught the laughter of her daughter, and smiled, seductively.

"What do you hear, my Saeko?" Severus grinned, kissing his wife's ear.

"Our daughter, my husband!" Saeko turned and smiled to her husband. "Happy! For first time in long time! Hai! Usagi is

good influence on our Amelia. Must tell.. Ikuko-Sama.. of this! Hai! Always worry about Usagi-chan! Maybe.. will not worry,

as much? Will be stopping at ice-cream shoppe on way back to school."
