A Betrayal And New Love

Chapter One

~*~ Bloodcrow Manor, Salem~*~

As they sat there waiting for Dynamis and Tynan to tell them their news, Haven looked to see her younger twin brother, Raven. One probably wouldn't be able to tell that they were twins. While Raven had short raven(H.B.: no pun intended ^^") hair with gold bangs that went down to his cheekbones, Haven had long raven hair that reached her knees with silver bangs that went down to her waist. Raven was at least an inch taller than her. But what separated them most was their eyes. The eye color was surprisingly different for all her siblings. Raven had midnight blue eyes, while Haven had silver eyes with specks of the purest sapphire blue. Both were to be in there sixth years at their school when term started.

She then looked to her two younger sisters, Myth and Leila, who where sitting on the couch in front of her. Myth was younger than her by ten months but older that Leila by nine and a half months. Myth had waist length raven hair with red bangs that reached her shoulders, and had garnet eyes. Leila had mid-back length raven hair, like her older siblings, with blue bangs that reached to her chin and pale blue eyes. Myth was to be in her fifth year while Leila was to be in her fourth.

She looked to her left to see two of her best friends, Mhera and Celene, talking quietly at the other end of the couch she was sitting on. Mhera and Celene were similar in looks to the Bloodcrows but had no relations. Mhera had waist length raven hair with violet bangs that was just a few inches shorter and lavender eyes. Mhera's cousin, Celene, had shoulder length raven hair with green bangs of the same length, and forest green eyes. They were both to be in their sixth year with Haven and Raven. Those two had a sad story as to how they came to live with them. But now was not the time to dwell on the past. Haven was actually happy they came to live with them even though she didn't approve of the reason. She also recently discovered that Raven had a secret crush on Mhera, but was sworn to secrecy.

Haven blinked when she noticed her mother, Dynamis, and her father, Tynan, finally decided to grace them with their presence (H.B.: using sarcasm just to let you know). There was silence in the room as they waited for them to speak. Haven decided to use this time to study her parents. Tynan, had short raven hair, like his children and grey eyes. He was about six feet two inches, an air of supiorority but a look of playfulness that made him look younger than his thirty-eight years. Dynamis was a very strange looking woman. Strange but beautiful. She had long silver hair with streaks of gold, red and blue, all of it was natural. What was even stranger was the color of her eyes: silver with specks of midnight blue, sapphire blue, pale blue and crimson red. Once again, strange but beautiful. Both her parents were from powerful pureblood families.

Finally noticing the long period of silence, Haven asked, "What did you want to tell us?"

"You'll see" was all they said. And she did see. It would be pretty hard to miss the mist appearing out of nowhere then fade to reveal a big black and grey door. They weren't surprised to see a tall woman in a dark green, almost black sailor suit with a dark crimson red bow on her chest and one on her lower back. Long dark green hair flowed from a bun and garnet eyes looked at them with amusement as she quietly held a long staff in the shape of a giant key with a garnet orb set at the top.

"Setsuna?" said Mhera and Celene.

"Pluto?" came from Myth and Raven.

"Puu?!" yelled a happy Leila as she ran to Sailor Pluto and hugged her.

"Yes she is all three," said Haven as she rolled her eyes. She looked to Sailor Pluto and asked, "What news from the Time Gates, Setsuna? I know it's bad if you've come here in person."

"What? Can't a Senshi visit some friends?" asked Pluto as she stood next to Dynamis and Tynan.

"Yes a Senshi can, but you don't do it unless there is a reason behind it," answered Haven as she eyed Pluto suspiciously.

"Right as ever, dear Haven," said Pluto, amusement still in her eyes. She looked to Dynamis and Tynan, asking them a silent question. At their nods, she handed an envelope to Haven. "This is for you."

Haven looked at the envelope with her name written on it in nice green cursive. She opened it and read the letter:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)

Dear Ms. Bloodcrow,

I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to be a transfer student to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Cloudanger Academy has already been notified of the transfer. Enclosed is a list of books and items needed for sixth years. We await your reply by owl no later than August 30th. Term begins September 1st.

Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

She silently handed the letter to Mhera, who was closest to her then looked up at Pluto in shock and said, "You can't be serious. What about Cloudanger? What about them?!" She pointed to her siblings and friends.

Pluto pulled three more letters from her subspace pocket. "If you would give me a chance to hand out the other letters, you would know," she said in amusement. She handed the letters to Raven, Mhera and Celene, who opened them right away.

"What about us, Puu?" asked Leila.

"I'm sorry little one, but they are going because they will be needed soon," she answered.

"But why do we have to go?" asked Raven.

"It is your destiny," stated Pluto in her all knowing voice.

"Since when did Destiny ever bother with us?" asked Celene.

"It was Destiny that brought you and Mhera to live with the Bloodcrows," answered Pluto.

"So, it was Destiny that caused that bastard Death Eater to kill our mothers?!" yelled Mhera.

"No. That would be Fate."

"Does it matter which one?!" asked Celene, pissed. "They both get really annoying after awhile!"

"You all need to calm down," said Dynamis in her do-as-I-say-or-else voice. She smiled sweetly as they all looked at her. "Just wanted you to know that I've already sent your acceptance reply to Hogwarts."

"WHAT?!" yelled to four soon to be Hogwarts students.

"But Dyna!" yelled Mhera.

"No buts, Mhera," ordered Tynan. "You four heard Setsuna. You HAVE to go."

"But," started Haven but stopped when her parents gave her their most evil glares(H.B.: think McGonagall, Snape, Lucius and Draco combined *shudders*). "Fine. We'll go." She turned to Pluto and asked, "When do we leave?"

"Now" was the reply.

"But what about our things and Shi?" asked Haven.

"Don't worry about Shi," answered Pluto. "He'll find you at Hogwarts. All your school supplies have been purchased so please hurry and go upstairs to pack what you want."

"Umm…what day is it?" asked Leila.

"The thirtieth," answered Myth. "Why?"

"OH SHIT!!" screamed Haven.

"HAVEN!!" yelled Tynan. "Watch your language!"

"Sorry," she said. "But we have to go to England RIGHT after we pack."

"Well, hurry up then so you can have time to sleep," said Pluto. "Remember, they are a couple of hours ahead of you."

Haven, Raven, Mhera and Celene dashed upstairs to their rooms. Haven, Mhera and Celene, having the same choice in clothes(H.B.: as well as a lot of other things) packed skirts that were long, short, mini or pleated and a lot of baggy black pants (H.B.: think Gothic bondage pants from Hot Topic… o.O" What? Its what I wear to school…). Their shirts consisted of spaghetti straps and tank tops that cut off a couple of inches above their waists to show off their midriff, and short and long sleeved shirts. Their colors consisted of silver(mainly Haven), lavender(mainly Mhera), forest green(mainly Celene), midnight blue and crimson red. Raven's choice of clothing was a lot of baggy black pants (H.B.: Once again…think Gothic bondage pants), baggy black or blue jeans, white and black wife beaters, black, gold, red, blue, green, purple, and silver dress shirts that he usually wore open over his wife beaters. All four preferred their black combat boots to anything but the girls all brought at least one pair of black platform boots.

After they all packed them into their trunks, they said a spell to make them smaller and lighter so they would be easier to carry. They grabbed their cloaks, putting their wands in the pockets, then ran downstairs. They then went to say goodbye to Dynamis, Tynan, Myth and Leila, each giving a hug. When the goodbyes were said the four sixth years stood next to Pluto.

"Don't worry, my children," said Dynamis. "You'll see us soon."

"In other words, Dumbledore gave us permission to visit you at Hogwarts during your vacations," informed Tynan. With this said Pluto waved her Time Key and they disappeared in a bright flash of light.

~*~Leaky Cauldron, London~*~

They appeared in an empty room containing nothing but four clean beds. They looked to Pluto find her gone. Each of them rolled their eyes then crawled into the beds, passing out before their heads hit the pillows.

~*~Next Morning, Kings Cross Train Station, 10:30 A.M.~*~

"Move it!" ordered an overly peeved Haven. "I want to get an empty compartment!"

"Haven, chill. We still have thirty minutes," said Raven as they walked to the barrier between platforms nine and ten. "Is everyone sure they still have their trunks?" Everyone nodded as they patted the pockets of their cloaks.

"I don't care how much time we have," said Haven as she glared at the people who were brave enough to look at her while she was in her pissy mood. "You know, I don't hate them and get pissed when someone insults them, but British muggles are just WAY too annoying!"

"I agree," said Mhera. She smiled when the came up to the barrier. "Here we are."

The others looked at the barrier. Haven looked to Celene who just nodded then calmly walked through the barrier. Haven then looked to Mhera, who like her cousin, calmly walked through. Raven looked at his sister and rolled his eyes. He walked through the barrier as Haven glared at him. She sighed and walked through. She was then greeted by a huge shock.

(H.B.: To be mean or not to be mean. That is the question! Should I end it here or not??

I'm not that mean. Well I am…but not today. ^^")

"SERENITY?! HOTARU?!" screamed Haven as she ran and hugged them at the same time. She blinked, "Wait, what are you two doing here?"

"Don't tell me Setsuna-mama didn't tell you we were going to Hogwarts too," said Hotaru.

"I wouldn't put it past her," said Serenity. She noticed Haven looking at her as though she was looking at her as if it was for the first time. "What?"

"YOUR HAIR!!!" she yelled. She noticed everyone looking at her, waiting for her to continue. She shrugged, "What? I like it. She's like my opposite now." Indeed she was. The skin color was the same, as was the fact that both were skinny and curved in the right places, but Serenity's hair was now silver, that went down to her knees, with black bangs, that went to her waist. Her eyes still the same pure blue, but now they had silver specks in them.

Haven looked to Hotaru in slight shock and said, "Hotaru, you look older."

"I'm at the age I'm supposed to be at. I will continue to age normally now," explained Hotaru. She looked the same but more mature. She still had the black hair with the purple highlights but now it was to her shoulders but was layered so it frame her still slightly pale face. Her purple eyes still carried their sadness and wisdom, but now they had something else in them now. What was it? It looked like anger…

"What happened?" asked Haven.

Serenity smiled slightly and said, "Let us talk about this on the train." The others nodded and followed her onto the train. They found an empty compartment and sat down. Serenity sat between Hotaru and Celene while across from them Haven sat to the right of Raven while Mhera sat to his left. All was silent for a couple of minutes.

"So," said Raven, starting to get uncomfortable with all the silence.

"Where are the others?" asked Mhera, wanting to get to the point. The others looked at Serenity and Hotaru with looks that said they wanted to know the same thing.

Serenity gave Hotaru a sad, pleading look. Hotaru sighed and looked at the floor sadly. She looked up and said, "They're dead."

Silence filled the compartment once again. Raven turned to hold Mhera as she started to cry. Celene did all she could to keep her tears from falling but was failing miserably. Haven looked at Serenity and Hotaru, eyes devoid of any emotion while they looked back at her the same way.

"Tell me what happened," said Haven.

"Something that most of us thought would never happen," said Hotaru.

"What?" asked Celene.

Hotaru looked to Serenity sadly and said, "I think it would be best if you told them, Sere-mama."

Serenity sighed sadly and started, "I never thought it would be possible. Most of us didn't believe it could happen. I think Haruka and Michiru knew it would happen sooner or later but didn't want to say anything in fear I would shun them. And of course Setsuna couldn't tell me because she's bound by law." She looked out the window at the passing meadows and continued, "It…"

~Flashback~

It was the summer holidays. Four weeks before the Sailor Scouts would have to go back to Cosmos Moon Academy of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Everything was peaceful. Everyone was happy. One blond in particular, a Serenity Moon, was on her way to her friend, Rei's temple. Even though everything was peaceful and there hasn't been a youma attack in over two months, the Sailor Scouts were still having their meeting. For once Serenity wanted to be on time.

As she started up the steps she heard a scream that sounded like it belonged to Minako. She took off running up the steps and to the entrance of the room they always held their meetings in. She threw the sliding door open to reveal an image that would be burned in mind forever.

The sacred fire was out and where it would usually be blazing lay a dead and bloodied Rei. Leaned up against the wall was a dead Makoto who looked just as bad as Rei. Over in a corner was the dead Michiru leaning over and holding a dead and bloodied Haruka. A few feet away from them lay a dead Ami. In front of Serenity sat a cowering Hotaru. Serenity sighed in relief to see Hotaru alive but when she looked off to the side she screamed. There stood Mamoru holding Minako up against the wall with his left hand while pushing a sword into her chest with his right.

At the sound of Serenity's scream, Hotaru rushed to her side while Mamoru pulled the sword out of Minako's chest and looked at them. When he smirked at her, Serenity wanted to smack it off his face. As he started to walk towards them, mist started to roll into the room.

~End Flashback~

"It was then that Setsuna showed up and took Hotaru and me away from there," said a crying Serenity. She looked up at Haven and said, "I want nothing more then to kill Mamoru now. I'm just too scared. He's supposed to be my soul-mate and there he was killing my friends in cold blood. What am I going to do, Haven?" She was almost pleading now.

Haven shot up from her seat and kneeled in front of Serenity, taking her hands in hers. She looked up at her sadly but seriously and said, "I don't know, Sere. But whatever you decide to do, I will back you up a hundred percent."

"As will I," stated Celene.

"Don't forget us!" exclaimed Raven and Mhera.

"Thank you," said Serenity, smiling sadly. "I appreciate that."

"We're almost there," informed Hotaru. "It would be smart of us to change into our robes now."

"You know what?" asked Raven, trying to liven up the mood. "I haven't seen Sere fall on her face yet."

"HEY!" yelled Serenity. They all laughed. They girls then kicked Raven out to find his own compartment to change.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~*~Great Hall, Hogwarts~*~

"How does it feel to be back?" asked the now sixth-year boy, Ronald Weasley, to his two best friends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

"It feels great, Ron," said a boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes that were covered by a pair of glasses. He fixed his glasses as he looked at his other friend and asked, "What about you, Hermione?"

The girl known as Hermione looked at them in annoyance. "Shh," she ordered. "The sorting is over and Professor Dumbledore has to make his normal announcement." The two boys rolled their eyes then looked up at the teachers table.

As always, Professor Dumbledore he stood up and started his speech, "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. As usual the Forbidden Forest is, well, forbidden to all students. Mr. Filch wanted me to inform you that Ms. Norris, his cat, is not an object to use spells on." He glanced to the side of the room at six cloaked figures. "Ah, oh yes. I would like to announce our six transfer students. Two come from the Cosmos Moon Academy in Japan and the other four come from Cloudanger Academy in the United States."

There were loud whispers flying about the Great Hall. Everyone went silent as they watched six cloaked figures walk towards the waiting Professor McGonagall. McGonagall unrolled the scroll and said in a clear, commanding voice, "Serenity."

Everyone watched as the figure in a silver cloak that faded to black, walked up to the stool. They waited in silence as she pulled back her hood. The looked on in shocked awe as long silver hair with black bangs spilled from the hood to hang a few inches from the ground. From what they could tell, she had milky white skin and her cloak and school robes did nothing to hide her perfect curves. Eyes of the purest blue with silver specks looked back at them in amusement. She looked to the rest of the cloaked figures then over to the Gryffindor table to settle on an entranced Harry. She smiled when he finally noticed she was looking at him and blushed. She closed her eyes as the Sorting Hat was placed on her head.

"OH MY!" shouted the Sorting hat out loud, startling everyone .

~A little lower please,~ thought Serenity.

~Oh yes. I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Serenity-hime,~ said the Sorting hat. ~I've just didn't expect to have the honor of sorting you. Now lets see, courage, loyal to your friends. What's this? You have a purpose for attending Hogwarts. Ah, well can't argue with Destiny. You'll be in…~ It yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!"

The entire Gryffindor table broke out into loud cheering while the other tables clapped politely even though they wanted Serenity to be in their houses. The majority of the boys offered her their seats, which left the girls looking at her in jealousy, but she refused and sat next to a brunette with curly hair and across from a blushing Harry.

"Hotaru," called McGonagall.

The room went silent again as a figure in a dark purple cloak that faded to black pulled back their hood to reveal a pale but beautiful girl that had black hair with purple highlights that went to her shoulders but was layered so it frame her slightly pale face. She walked up to the stool then sat down, giving people a better view of her front. She wasn't as filled out as Serenity but she entranced almost as many guys. Purple eyes that held a deep sadness surveyed them until the Sorting hat was placed on her head.

~Oh, Hotaru-hime. I'm honored to meet you,~ said the Sorting hat.

~Same here,~ thought Hotaru.

~Well, lets see. Loyal to your hime, anger and hate towards a traitor…Oh, you're here for the same reason Serenity-hime is. So I guess you should be in the same house, ne?~

~Hai. That would be preferable,~ thought Hotaru.

~Alright then.~ The hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!" The Gryffindor table, once again broke out into loud cheering. Hotaru handed the hat to McGonagall then silently walked to Serenity and sat down next to her. They both looked towards the four remaining cloaked figures.

"Celene," called out Professor McGonagall.

The figure in the black cloak faded to forest green pulled back their hood. (H.B.: Ok…I'm getting tired of doing their descriptions over again so…I'm gonna stop doing them. Well…I'm still gonna do Haven's but that's only because she's my favorite character that I made up. ^^""") Celene walked up to the stool then turned around as she sat down. Once again the majority of the male population was entranced. Not as much as when Serenity was up there but a about the same as when Hotaru was up there. She sat there calmly as McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on her head.

~Ah, Miss Scythe. Here for the same reason too, I see~ stated the hat. ~Shall I put you in Gryffindor with the hime?~

~Actually, I would like you to put me where I should be. Don't want anyone to get suspicious,~ stated Celene, knowingly.

~Good reason. Alright then,~ answered the hat. "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin house clapped a little bit more loudly then they usually did as Celene walked towards their table and sat down.

"Mhera," called out Professor McGonagall.

The figure in the black faded to lavender cloak pulled back her hood causing the majority of the male population to once again become entranced. She walked up to the stool calmly and as she sat down her lavender eyes looked from Serenity to the two remaining cloaked figures. She closed her eyes as the Sorting Hat was placed on her head.

~I see, just like your cousin. Here for the same reason too. I suppose you would like to be put with her. Am I correct?~ asked the Sorting Hat.

~Yes,~ answered Mhera.

~Okay then.~ The Hat shouted, "SLYTHERIN!" Once again the Slytherin house clapped louder than usual as Mhera walked towards their table and sat down across from her cousin.

"Raven," called McGonagall.

The figure in the black faded to gold cloak pulled back their hood. This time instead of the males, the entire female population became entranced(H.B.: o.O At least I hope none of the males became entranced…o.o'' Actually I could care less. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH GAY PEOPLE!!! - - And I think the government should leave them the hell alone and let them get married to each other if they want to!! …….^^'' Anyways…on with the story). As the female population swooned over him, Raven walked over to the stool and sat down as McGonagall placed the Hat on his head. A few seconds, and I mean two or three, went by before the Hat yelled out, "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin girls cheered loudly and offered for him to sit next to them as he passed by them. They were disappointed as he sat down next to Mhera.

Mhera, seeing the looks the girls were giving Raven, got pissed. She pulled Raven towards her and kissed him softly. She smiled at his and her cousin's looks of shock then smirked as the other girls looked at her in shock and jealousy. They all looked towards McGonagall as she called out the last name.

"Haven."

The last figure in the black faded to silver cloak walked up to the stool and sat down before pulling back their cloak. The entire male population became entranced (H.B.: Minus Harry cuz he's still entranced with Sere. ^^ ) as black hair and silver bangs cascaded down from the hood to hang a few inches above the ground. Just like with Serenity, Haven's cloak did nothing to hide her perfect figure. Silver eyes surveyed all that watched before looking at Serenity and Hotaru then moving to look at Raven, Mhera and Celene.

McGonagall brought the Sorting Hat to Haven. She was about to set it down on Haven's head but when one of the Hat's straps barely grazed her head, the Hat started to pull away as it shouted, "SLYTHERIN!!"

Haven smirked at all the shocked faces. They only ones that didn't look shocked was her brother and four friends. The shock slowly subsided as the entire Slytherin male population cheered loudly as Haven walked to the their table and sat across from her brother and next to Celene. Just as she thought it would, the whispers started flying. There were things from "She had it further away than Malfoy!" to "Is she a follower of You-Know-Who?" The for new Slytherins rolled their eyes at the last one.

Dumbledore stood up and looked at everyone with that, what Haven found annoying, twinkle in his eyes. "Well, now that that is done with, I'm sure some of you are hungry," he said as he looked at Ron, who blushed. "Tuck in."

~*~Gryffindor table~*~

Serenity looked on in delight as huge amounts of food appeared infront of her. As hungry as she was though, she only took small portions. She looked to her left to see Hotaru eating silently. She then looked to her right as she felt someone tap on her shoulder. "Yes?"

"I'm Hermione Granger," said the girl next to her. She pointed to the two boys across from them and said, "That's Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. I've read all about the Cosmos Moon Academy…"

Serenity couldn't hear what Hermione was saying anymore as she looked into the emerald eyes of the boy that looked up at the sound of his name. She thought to herself, `Now that I'm up close to him, I can see many emotions in his eyes. Some he shouldn't have.' What she saw was happiness, pain, anger, loneliness… She looked away quickly then looked back to find something new in his eyes. It looked like…love? `What am I thinking?! We haven't even had a freaking conversation yet! Well…can't let that stay the same..' She held out her hand for him to shake, "Hello. My name is Serenity."

"I know," he answered. He took her hand gently and shook while he started to blush. Serenity smiled and thought, `He's so cute when he blushes. Whoa! Where did that come from?!'

~*~ Slytherin table ~*~

"You are such a show off," stated Raven as the food appeared.

"You do know that the muggle lovers will most likely fear you now, Haven," said Mhera.

Haven shrugged and said, "Like I care. Its good to at least let people fear you a little." She noticed out of the corner of her eye that what she said caught the attention of the boy sitting next to her. She looked at him to find him studying her. While he was doing this she got a good look at him. He was positively gorgeous! Blond almost white hair, lean build, cold grey eyes. Getting a hold of herself, she smirked slightly and said, "See something you like?" Her smirk grew at the look of shock as he realized he was caught staring.

He shock quickly subsided as a smirk, much like Haven's, found its way to his lips. He took her hand in his and brought it up to his lips. If it wasn't for her self-control, she most likely would've melted. He looked up at her and said, "My names Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."

"Haven," she replied. She pointed across from her and said, "Those two are my twin, Raven and my friend Mhera." She pointed to the other side of her and said, "And that's Mhera's cousin, Celene." She looked down to see him still holding her hand. "Taking possession of me already?" she asked with a smirk.

He leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Maybe. Do you have a problem with that?"

She whispered back, "Even though you are extremely cute," she pulled away and looked at him coldly, " I am no one's possession. Nor will I ever be." She stood up and motioned for Raven, Mhera and Celene to follow her as the other students followed the Prefects to their dormitories, leaving behind a shocked and pissed off Draco.
