There is Always One

 

The Greatest Gift of Giving

 

 

Last Time of the Evilness:

 

“I am coming to get you Serenity.  I am coming to get you and there is nothing you can to do stop me.”

 

        Silence followed until a high pitched screamed filled the air.

 

This Time of Possible Evilness:

 

        Usagi tried to fight off her captor, she was terrified and hoped that it wasn't a death eater…or worst…her father.  She kicked out her legs and elbowed the person behind her roughly in the stomach. 

        “Ow, that hurt.”  Usagi turned around, as the lights came back and was shocked at who was behind her.

        “Draco?”

        “In the painful flesh.”  He grinned sheepishly and Usagi blushed.

        “I am sorry.”  Usagi looked towards the floor ashamed, and then she looked back up at Draco, and the way he was holding her.  One of his arms was tightly gripping her waist and the other was across her chest and holding onto her left shoulder.  “What were you doing?”

        “When the lights went out, I well thought that I should protect you.”

        “Protect me?”

        “Yes, and if you don't like it tough.”  Malfoy stiffened and turned his head away from Usagi.  He tried to prevent opening up to her, but he was failing, he was failing miserably.

        “Then why are you still holding me?”  Usagi watched a small blush develop on Malfoy's cheek.  He released her from her grip and she stood on her tippie-toes and placed a small kiss on his cheek.  “Thank you.”  She whispered silently into his ear.  Usagi went back to the Slytherin table and sat down next to Pansy.  Pansy then leaned over to Usagi.

        “I am so jealous.”

        “Why?”  Usagi was confused by Pansy's statement.

        “You have Malfoy, under your control, soon he will be doing anything for you to make you happy.”

        “What do you mean?”

        “You mean you don't know?”  Pansy asked shocked.

        “Know what?”

        “My god Usagi, what would you do without me?  Anyway, Maloy really likes you, but he doesn't want to admit it.  Flirt for pete's sake?  I just wish that Marcus would be like that?”

        “Huh? What is wrong with Marcus, you guys are going out, aren't you?”

        “Yeah, we are going out, but I don't know.  He doesn't flirt enough, you know.  I want him to chase me, I have been doing too much running for the last year.”

        “Do you want me to talk to him?”

        “Usagi, you can't!”  Pansy squeaked.

        “It'll be fine, you know how close we are, I will just put him in his place.”

        “Be kind to him Usagi, I still want to get my boyfriend back.”

        “Don't worry, now would I do such a thing?”

        “Yes.”

        “Well, maybe I would.”

 

 

        “Albus, what was that?”

        “Who we were fearing, Voldemort.  He knows she is here, he is waiting for the perfect moment to strike.  We need to be ready and protect her.”

        “Albus, remember, it is my niece and she is the only one I have left, I can't lose her.”

        “I know Severus…I know.  Setsuna what do you think we should do to keep her safe?”  Dumbledore turned towards the new professor of Ancient Magic and Witchcraft, a recently added course.

        “All the professors need to keep a close eye on her along with some of the students.  She musn't ever be alone.”

 

 

        Classes began as normal and the homework flowed in…nothing new to that, but the thing that was new was the professors always kept a close eye on Usagi where ever she went.  Also Usagi had the new class only offered to fifth years and quidditch.  Tryouts were in early October and Usagi was excited to try out.  Malfoy had switched positions to Keeper, so the seeker position was open, as was a chaser position.  Usagi became the Slytherin seeker, and Pansy the other chaser.  Malfoy was the keeper, Marcus Flint in his last year was still captain and a chaser, the third chaser was Frank Warrington, the two beaters are Michael Bole and Derrick Black.  (Note Flint graduated…I know I know…but I need him the story, so bare with me.  He is in his last year so if I have a sequel, he wont be in it.)

        The new class at Hogwarts was Ancient Magic and Witchcraft, a class that most people liked and the teacher Setsuna Meioh was hard but kind.  In November they were to start a new topic and everyone was curious to know what it was.

        “Today, class I will tell you a story.  A story, but still true, of a time long ago where there was life on all planets of the solar system.  The people of these planets were all ruled by small kingdoms on their planets, and each kingdom was ruled by the queen of the moon.  Queen Selenity had power over all the planets and her daughter was to inherit that power.  Serenity was the young princess of the moon who was berothed to Endymoin the prince of Earth, against her own will.  All the planets were at peace, except the Earth.  That was the reason for Serenity's berothal, to end the conflict between the moon and Earth.  Still there was great peace through out the galaxy, until the night of Serenity's 15th birthday.  Princess Beryl of a small kingdom had loved Endymoin and hated Serenity, so she killed her own mother to gain her power and she became Queen Beryl and attacked the Moon kingdom.  Her plan was to destroy it and kill Serenity, and she succeeded.  Everyone died with the exception of Queen Selenity and her two advisors.  Selenity used the last of her powers to seal away Beryl and to send her daughter and court into the future to be reborn.  Legend says that Serenity and her inner court were reborn in Japan and that when the time came, that they would be awaken again as the princesses they were as well as the soldiers.  Now class for your homework I want you to research a specific event during this time which was called the Silver Millenium and then write it with as much detail as you can.  It must be a minimum of ten inches.  Now off you go.” Usagi hadn't realize that the class was over so she surprised when Professor Meioh told everyone to leave.  She then grabbed Malfoy's hand and walked to lunch. 

 

 

(I know I am going quickly in the beginning, but I need a few things to happen before everything can fall into place, once they hit like January, it will slow down, Trust me.)

 

        Yet, another Christmas rolled and Usagi had sent out many gifts to people.  She gave Harry a snow globe with an actual quidditch game going on inside.  Ron received a Hogwarts edition of Wizards Chess from her, Hermoine got a tear shaped necklace just like Pansy's but with a very light blue stone in it and Ginny got one will a deep orange stone in it.  Usagi sent Wood a snow globe just like Harry's but she also sent pictures of her playing from her first game.  She sent Pansy and Marcus romance candles for a more romantic night together.  Lastly she was going to give Malfoy a silver pendant in the shape of a sword with a snake curled around it.  The silver snake had emeralds embedded in it and the sword had tiny diamonds embedded in it.  This was connected to a long silver chain.  Usagi hoped that Malfoy would like it.  She planned to send it by her owl late Christmas Eve, so that he would get it Christmas morning, she knew that he was going home for the holidays, he always did. 

 

        Malfoy knew what Usagi was probably thinking, he was going home.  Malfoy always did and he thought doing so again this year, but then he came up with a better idea.  Malfoy talked to everyone in the Slytherin house and tried to convince or bribe all of those who were thinking of staying for the holidays.  He was able to get nearly everyone out except two first years, though after threatening them, they were more than willing to go home. 

 

        Both Hermoine and Ginny were excited about the holidays.  They were staying along with Harry, Ron and the Twins, so they could all spend the holiday together.  Christmas morning rolled around and Hermoine rushed downstairs into the common room to open her presents.  Ginny, Ron and Harry were already there and the twins were long gone, a tattered trail of raping paper led to their room.  Hermoine bent down and picked up a small box wrapped in shimmery blue paper, she delicately removed the wrapping and opened the black velvet book.  Inside was a tear shaped light blue crystal on a sliver chain.  Inside the box was a tiny card with a bunny rabbit on the cover.  Merry Christmas Hermoine - Usagi. 

        Ginny leaned over and after seeing a similar necklace revealed to Hermoine the necklace around her neck.  The two had the same necklace except the crystal in Ginny's necklace was a deep orange color.

 

        Usagi woke up Christmas morning to silence.  Not a noise was made throughout the Slytherin house.  She slipped out of bed in an empty room and placed her silver and black robe on, the cold air seemingly seeping through her thin nightgown.  Upon reaching the door of her room she found a letter written in green ink.  Follow the Petals.  When Usagi opened the door she looked down to find a trail of red and silver petals.  Curiousity and direction took over her and she followed the trail, down the cold stone stairs to the large black leather couches in front of a lit fireplace in the hearth.  A single red rose lay on top of one of the couches and Usagi sat down next to it. 

        Usagi lifted the rose to her nose and she inhaled the romantic scent that it gave off.

        “Do you like it?”  A heavy voice breathed into her ear and she shivered slightly.  Usagi quickly turned and was met with Mafloy's soft lips.  She pulled away and Malfoy frowned slightly.

        “I thought you were going home?”

        “I always do, so I wanted this year to be special.”  Usagi smiled slightly.

        “Thank you.”  She replied softly.

        “We are the only Slytherins who stayed, I was able to get everyone to go home.  I loved the pendant.  I have something for you, here.”  Malfoy handed Usagi the sleek silver box and she carefully opened it.  Inside was a white gold charm bracelet with small pearls encrusted in the band.  Usagi closely examined the charms; a star, a moon, a heart and angel wings, all of which alternated with tiny diamond balls.  Usagi stared at it in awe and she removed in from its enclosure in the box.  Clasping it around her wrist she admired it like a precious jewel.  “Do you like it?”

        “I love it, thank you Draco.  You didn't have…” Before Usagi could complete her statement Malfoy had captured her lips with his own.  He pulled away slowly and looked at her with a smile.

        “Don't worry, I wanted to.  You deserved it.”

        “But that is the thing, I don't deserve it.  I am afraid of the future, I don't even know if I am going to have to worry about the O.W.L.S.  I might not even be here to take them.  I…I might even be dead.”  The world rolled off her tongue like a life sentence and a deep shiver ran up Malfoy's spine. 

        “Don't speak like that, you are safe, he won't be able to get you here.”

        “How do you know that?  You don't know that and I know that isn't true.  He is coming for me and he is either going to kill me or some how turn me to his side.  I'd rather he do the earlier of the two so my pain could go away.”

        “You don't actually mean that do you?”

        “Draco, I wondered for years why my step-father killed my mother.  Why?  I have scores of nightmares of the night he hit us and she died.  I saw the green light and my mother's limb body!  And when I was so young and thought that I could take comfort in my father's arms I find out that I lost him to, along with my step-mother.  That night I lost everyone.  I was seven and had no one to cry to.  I then went to an orphanage for three years, three years!  Each night I had to stop myself from thinking that I was no good because no one adopted me. When I was finally adopted I thought that my life was finally getting better.  And for a few months it did.  And then my father, if you could even call him that started beating me.  He beat me so hard that sometimes I couldn't even move, and my mother knew nothing of it.  That bastard kept it from her, and each time I stayed in my room he would tell her that I was sick and he was taking care of me.  When he was in the mood to beat me he would send her out to get ice cream or go to the store for something else.  And then the beatings began to get boring for him so he would send my mother on longer trips out so she wouldn't hear my screams when he raped me.  I supposedly came here for safety but so far I feel like I have gotten myself into more trouble and danger because Voldemort wants me dead and I can't do anything about it.  No one can.  No one can save me, not you, not my uncle and not even Dumbledore.  If there is one thing I learned from that bastard, it is that once Voldemort has put someone's name on his hit list, they will die or suffer some other horrible fate.  This is why Harry will either die soon or lose all of those close to him like he did those years ago because Voldemort has him on his hit list.  And once you are on that list, you usually never come off.”

        By this point tears were evenly flowing down Usagi's face.  Mafloy was already lying down on the couch and he brought Usagi near to his chest.  She laid her head on his abs and had her body between his legs.  Crying silently into his shirt, Malfoy ran his fingers through her hair, gently massaging her scalp.  After a while Usagi's tears subsided and the room fell silent except for the cracking of the fire.

        “I'll protect you Usa.  I will always protect you.”  Usagi looked up at Malfoy, a questioning look in her eyes.

        “What did you just call me?”  Usagi asked softly.

        “Usa, I called you Usa.”  A small smile spread across Usagi's face.

        “Call me Usako.”  Usagi spoke softly and then returned her head to its place upon Malfoy's chest. Soon she fell asleep and not long after, Malfoy joined her in the world of dreams.
