Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Dumbledore's Niece ❯ afterwards ( Chapter 15 )

~*Afterwards *~

Universe stared at the place her father once was, as did the other scouts. They had put all their energy worth into that attack only to have it missed because he had disappeared in a portal he had made to escape. They were all breathing heavily and were very tired. The senshis uniforms disappeared only to be replaced by their robes.

There was complete silence in the Great Hall and half of the hall was destroyed by the senshis attacks. But, the teachers' paid no mind to it and were relieved that no one was hurt the whole time the Dark Lord had appeared. But, how had he come back after all these years was the biggest question in their mind. Especially in Harry Potter's.

The scouts collapsed in the nearest seats and sighed tiredly. Maybe they shouldn't have overdone it with the whole attack thing, but they were all extremely angry. Harry went over towards Serena and placed a hand over hers. She looked up and smiled.

"Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"Hai," she answered, smiling, "I'm just tired."

"Would you like me to escort you to bed?" he asked politely.

Haruka jumped up from her seat and glared at Harry menacingly. "What the hell are you implying exactly!?" she yelled. Harry looked at her, bewildered, but when it sank it, he was blushing furiously.

"Not that!!" he cried, blushing like crazy. Uni snickered from her seat and stood up. Michiru, Hotaru, and Setsuna gave out a laugh.

"It better not be that!" shouted Haruka. She didn't seem to be fazed that she was completely out of energy and that she was extremely tired, but nothing could stop her from protecting her moon-hime from hentai-thinking boys.

Dumbledore chuckled and so did the teachers, and Quirrell who was laughing rather nervously. Malfoy snickered, as did the other Slytherins and the rest of the students laughed wholeheartedly. Uni walked up to Haruka and smiled almost innocently.

"Haruka-chan, how can you stand up and yell at Harry like that when I thought you were suppose to be dead tired?" she asked.

"I am never dead tired enough to not keep away hentai-thinking boys like him," retorted Haruka.

Uni raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So if I were to attack you, you would be able to defend yourself?" she questioned.

"Of course!" Uni snickered and poked the senshi of wind. To everyone's surprise, except Setsuna, Michiru, Hotaru, and Uni, Haruka fell on the ground with a thud.

"You are right," remarked Uni with a snicker. "You can defend yourself very well."

The Great Hall once again burst into laughter and Haruka scowled as she picked herself up with some difficulties, seeing how she lacked energy at the moment. Uni helped Uranus up without difficulties and turned towards her uncle.

"Uncle…" she said, bowing.

Dumbledore's eyes soften more than it was. "Uni…I'm-…"

Uni held her hand up, cutting him off and said, "There is not time for that, uncle. It is very late and I think that everyone is very tired. There is time to talk about this, and that time is not now. Right now, I would like to go to bed and rest."

Dumbledore nodded and turned towards the students behind him. "Everyone, back to their towers. Classes are canceled tomorrow until Monday."

Murmurs ran throughout the Great Hall as all the students made their way towards their towers to either go to bed or talk about the incident that had happened that day, which left Professors McGonagall, Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the scouts in the Great Hall. Serena stood up and gave a giant smile at everyone.

"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go sleep!!" she cried.

Hotaru blinked, as did Uni. "I never thought you'd be happy about going to sleep more than eating food, moon-hime," she said teasingly.

"Hey!!" protested Serena.

"But it is true, Serena," smirked Uni.

"Uniiiii, Hotaruuuu," whined Serena.

Harry laughed as he slung an arm over her shoulders. "Aw, you know their teasing, Sere. Come on, let's go join everyone else at the Gryffindor Common Room," he said, causing Haruka to glare.

"Watch the arm!!" shouted Haruka, standing up with a fist in the air.

Uni closed her eyes and crossed her arms, while keeping Haruka in her chair with her foot. "Down, girl," she simply said, smirking.

"Yeah!" spoke up Ron, "I bet everyone's celebrating!"

Hermione shook her head. "They should be resting! It's been a very hectic day!" she complained.

"Oh, lay off, Hermione," said Ron, "Besides, no classes tomorrow!!" Hermione slapped Ron in the head and glared at him. "Hermione!! That hurt!"

"Of course it hurt!" exclaimed Uni, "That is what you are suppose to feel when you are getting hit! What else did you expect? For it to tickle!?"

Ron blushed and his ears turned pink. Malfoy smirked. "She's right, Weasly. You must be dumber than I thought!" he said, gleefully.

Uni turned towards Malfoy and glared, to everyone's surprise, at him. "Malfoy," she started. He turned towards her and looked at her. "…Lay off." She finished, startling him. "I'm going to bed!" she shouted almost angrily and stomped off.

"Oy! Uni-hime!! Matte [Wait]!!" Hotaru cried, jumping off her chair and ran after her. Before she crossed the Great Hall doors, she turned around and bowed, and said, "Oyasumi nasai, minna [goodnight, everyone]." She turned back around and shouted to Uni once again, who was very far ahead of her. "Uni-chan!! Matte!!"

"What's wrong with her?" asked Serena.

"Ah, she's in love!" shrieked Michiru, jumping up with hearts in her eyes.

"Huh?" everyone looked at her.

Michiru blushed slightly. "Nani?" she said innocently. "Can't I voice my opinion?" Everyone fell on the floor anime style.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

Uni slammed the door behind her and leaned on it. She sighed loudly. She let her head back and laid it to rest on the door. What exactly was she suppose to feel? She never had someone love her before let alone care, excluding the scouts. She had always figured that they only cared because they were all scouts and somehow shared a similar fate. But what if that wasn't true? What if they truly did care, but not because of their fates as sailor scouts?

Knock. Knock. Someone was knocking on the door softly. "Uni-hime?" asked a soft voice, "Are you there?" Uni got up and opened the door. A disheveled looking Hotaru stood there, a little out of breath. Uni directed Hotaru back towards her room, which was next to hers. Now, Hotaru and Uni had their own common room and bedroom. Of course, it also had a password and was connected to the Slytherin's common room.

Uni made Hotaru sit down on her bed and gave her, her pills and water, which she took without a word. Uni frowned and scolded, "You should not have ran."

Hotaru gave her sheepish look. "Hai, I know. Demo, I didn't want to get lost. I don't know my way around quite yet," she replied.

"You could have asked Michiru or Haruka or even Setsuna," she said.

"I-I guess I wasn't thinking…" stuttered Hotaru.

Uni smirked and poked Hotaru in the forehead. Taken by surprised, the Scout of Rebirth fell back on her head, squealing. Then, she started giggling.

"You are still a child," stated Uni, rolling her eyes, "Go to sleep, Hota."

"Hai, hime," Hotaru said, grinning. Uni shook her head as she exited and walked towards her own room. Her mouth twitched a little for a smile, but when she entered her room, it disappeared and she frowned instead. Someone was in her room.

"Nani?" she asked.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena yawned with a smile and covered her mouth with her right hand. Her left arm was busy hanging itself to Harry's arm. He looked towards her and smiled. Sensing his gaze on her, Serena turned towards him and gave him her own smile.

"It's been a long day, ne, Harry-kun?" she asked.

"Yeah, it has," he answered. "I'm glad you're okay though. I was sure I was going so lose you."

Serena's smile widened and her eyes went soft. "Aw, Harry-kun!" she squealed, hugging him around the neck. "That's so sweet!" she loosened her grip on him and noticed he had a tint of pink on his cheeks. "Don't worry about me though. The senshis won't let anything happen to me and likewise for me."

She kissed his cheek before letting go. Harry's cheek went red and the moon-hime giggled. "You're so kawaii, Harry-kun," she stated, before running off. "Well, come on! The last one to the commons has to kiss Malfoy or Uni-chan!!"

Harry blinked and started running after her. His cheek went back to its normal color. "Hey!!" he cried, "I don't want to kiss her and definitely not Malfoy!!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

"Nani?" repeated Uni. "What are you doing here?"

Sailor Pluto gave her a little smile. "That was quite a difficult choice you had to make tonight," she said.

Uni narrowed her eyes and a soft growl came out from her throat. She walked towards her closet and took out a black tank top and white pajama pants. Pluto watched her every move, ignoring the angry emotion towards her from this hime. Uni walked towards her bathroom and soon, water could be heard running. After a few minutes, Uni came back out in her fresh, picked out pajamas and her hair was up in a bun.

"Still here?" she questioned.

Pluto nodded her head. "You know as well as I do, that if you had chosen the dark side over the light, the world would be in grave danger. There would have been only a slight chance that we could have beaten you," she said, "Both the forces of Endymion and Serenity would have a chance to beat you, if you had been evil. Along with the scouts, they would have definitely beaten you."

"Then why were you so worried when I had to choose?" asked Uni, crossing her arms. "I sensed your fear, even then."

Pluto bowed her head, "You know as well as I do, something has gone wrong when the inners and the prince went to Tokyo."

Uni grunted in reply. "If there was, why don't you go check it out?"

"Something is blocking me from doing that, hime," answered Pluto.

Uni glared at Pluto. "What do you mean? You're the protector of the time gates."

"Maybe so, hime," said Pluto, "But some times, there are things that prevent me to. A powerful dark magic is keeping me from looking inside the gates and I cannot break it."

"Powerful dark magic…? You don't mean," said Uni in a surprised tone.

"He is the only one with powerful dark magic," nodded Pluto.

"…" Uni said nothing and she thought to herself about the situation. Sailor Pluto disappeared and Uni climbed into bed. The whole night, she stayed halfway up, thinking about their situation. Pluto had been right. She had felt something going on with the inners and Darien. And she knew it had something to do with her father.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ha! I beat you!" cried Serena, jumping up and down after she had touched the Fat Lady's painting. Harry came to a stop in front of her, huffing and puffing.

"No…fair…" he panted. "You got…a…head…start…"

"Aw, is Harry-kun whining?" teased Serena, poking him in the cheek.

Harry grabbed her finger and smirked at her. "No, Harry-kun isn't whining. He's only saying that you cheated," he said, kissing her finger. Serena blushed and took her finger back. "Aw, is Serena blushing?" he teased back.

Serena merely stuck her tongue at him in a playful way. "You could use that tongue in a better use than that," he pointed out. And seconds after realizing what he had just said, he blushed and hit himself mentally. 'I cannot believe I just said that!'

Serena blushed heavily like he did and was thinking along the same line as he was. 'I cannot believe he just said that!' she screamed at herself mentally.

The two looked at each and they were both blushing. But before any of them could say anything, they heard the voices of their friends, Hermione, Ron, Haruka, and Michiru coming their way.

"What are you two still doing up?" asked Hermione, hands on her fist. "You guys went ahead of us and we managed to still catch up."

"Err…" said Harry and Serena.

"I bet I know what they were doing!" cried Ron all of a sudden. "They were making out until we interrupted!!"

Serena and Harry blushed a deeper red, causing Michiru to giggle and Ron to outright laugh out loud. Haruka glared at Harry and Hermione was trying to scold Ron for his outburst, though she was laughing a bit herself. Unfortunately, the noise managed to wake up a certain professor.

"What is going on!?" bellowed a certain Potion Master. "Weasly, Potter, Granger, and the lot of you, who do you think you are!?"

"Students, sir," replied Michiru, innocently. Snape glared at her and Michiru gave him a smirk in return. "Whatever is the matter, professor Snape? Something on my face? Or yours maybe?"

"Aw, yes," stepped in Haruka, "Now I can see it. There's a little smudge there. Too much grease in your hair, too. Or is it oil? Oh what's the different? Do you know, Professor? After all, it is your hair. It is isn't it?"

By that time, Snape was seeing red. Harry, Ron, and Hermione gave Michiru and Haruka an 'are you crazy' look. Serena let out a giggle and tried to hide it with her hands, but Snape had heard her. He gave her, her own glare fro him. Serena decided to join.

"Professor Snape?" said Serena, sweetly. He snapped his head towards her. "Don't you think you should be resting now? After all, you need your beauty sleep. Especially you. Would you like to try on Setsuna's night cream? Oh, it works wonders! You'll feel like your sixteen again! Our age! Then we can play tea party!!"

"Yea! You'll look so kawaii in a pink dress with a pink cap that has frilly stuff on it!" added Haruka.

"Then we can put make up on your pretty young face," squealed Michiru. Everyone else backed up from the three senshis and Snape, who looked ready to blow.

"WHA-" he started when he was knocked into the head, causing him to stop. Setsuna had hit him in the back of the head and scowled.

"People happened to be sleeping, Severus Snape," hissed Setsuna.

'And I am merely trying to find out why they," he motioned over to the others with a nudge of his head, "are out here, Setsuna Meiou."

As the two argued, Setsuna winked at the Gryffindors and only Michiru, Haruka, and Serena understood what she meant. Serena grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him into the Gryffindor common room, followed by Haruka and Hermione, Michiru, and Ron. The scouts knew Snape would treat them horrible the next time they saw him in class, but Serena and them had Uni and well, Haruka and Michiru really didn't care.

Once Serena let go of Harry, she kissed him on the cheek and said, giggling a little, "Oyasumi nasai, Harry-kun," And she ran upstairs to the girls' dormitory.

"Hey!!" protested Haruka. "Did she just-…" Michiru hit her on the head.

"Oh, hush, Haruka," she scolded, "As long as hime is happy, right?"

Haruka scowled as she rubbed her sore head. "As long as Koneko's happy…" she repeated.

"Well, I'm going to bed," said Hermione, "I've got an early morning tomorrow."

"Doing what?" asked Ron, "We haven't go any classes."

"Oh, Ron! I'm going to start studying for our exams of course!" cried Hermione. "Their only three months away!!" With that, she left to her dormitory, leaving four people sweatdropping.

"Is she always like that?" asked Haruka.

"Yes," replied Harry and Ron. Haruka fell anime style.

"I'm going to sleep," muttered Haruka. "You people are crazy…"

"Matte!" Michiru called also going after her, "Oyasumi nasai, minna!!"

"Good night!!" said Harry and Ron, going up to their own dormitories.

My daughter…my beautiful daughter…moon-princess…Harry Potter," he seethed. "You will be mine! No one will stop me next time! Mwahahahaha!!"
