Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Dumbledore's Niece ❯ panicky hogwarts ( Chapter 4 )

~* Panicky Hogwarts *~

It was morning and most of the students were already in the Great Hall eating their breakfast as they chat. Uni had not gotten any sleep the night before, searching for her missing uncle. She had yet to report this to Professor McGonagall. She hadn't even finished her homework for good sakes! But she wasn't worried about that.

Sitting at the Slytherin table, Pansy wondered where Malfoy was since she hadn't seen him since he left the tower to go to Madam Pompfrey. He usually was here before she was. That's when she spotted Uni across the room. She angrily walked over to where she stood and punched her right in the jaw. Not expecting the hit, Uni flew back as it hit her and her things flew across the floor.

Everyone screamed, seeeing what Pansy had done. Wondering what everyone was shrieking about, the scouts looked up from their breakfast and saw Uni sprawled onto the floor. They rushed to her before Pansy could hurt her again. As Uni got up, the scouts came up to her.

"Uni, are you all right?" asked Serena.

"Hai." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared daggers at Pansy, "What the hell was that for?"

"That was for Malfoy! How dare you hurt him!" she cried.

"Humph. He had it coming," was the reply. She turned her back from her and began picking up her things, but Pansy wouldn't let her go.

She dodged the scouts, who tried to stop her. The Slytherin girl tried to punch her again, but this time, Uni was on guard. The scout punched her at the right time, right in the stomach. Blood came gushing out of Pansy's mouth and she fell to the floor in pain. Everyone gasped in shock.

"Miss Shields!! That was unnecessary!" shrieked Professor McGonagall, finally arriving at the scene.

"Sure it was," said Uni, dusting off her robes, "Besides, she started."

"Liar," wheezed Pansy, on the floor. "You hurled Malfoy across the room last night."

"Is this true, Miss Shields!?" asked McGonagall.

"Yeah, so?" She started picking her things up again and placing them into her bag.

"Oh…Oh, my," McGonagall was speechless.

Uni rolled her eyes. "Did you expect me to be one of those quiet people, who did nothing bad," she scoffed. Then she turned towards her fellow scouts and said, "I need to talk to you all, privately."

"Okay," they replied.

They started to walk away when Snape said, "You stop right there! Wait until your uncle hears of this! Won't he be surprised that his favorite niece is bullying on students." He sneered.

There was murmur as they took in what they just heard. Uni was Dumbledore's niece?

"Humph. I doubt he'd be surprised," before leaving the Great Hall with her friends, she added, "If you can ever find him that is."

"W-what did s-she m-mean b-b-by that?" stuttered Quirrell.

Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know. But I'm going to find out, somehow."

* * * * * * * * * * *

"So what's up?" asked Arina.

"Yeah, what's so important that we have to miss breakfast?" questioned Serena. Everyone sweatdropped.

"Stop thinking about food for just one second, Serenity," said Uni, "Last night, Uncle Albus and I saw a youma attacking Malfoy. So, I went to transform, but the next time I know, they had disappeared.

They gasped. "Do you have any ideas where they are?" asked Lita.

Uni shook her head sadly. "I looked everywhere."

"I still can't believe there are youmas here," said Haruka.

"Setsuna has been informed and has been on the lookout, but unless we find that youma again," said Uni, "I see no hope."

"There's always hope!" cried Sam.

"Yeah!" agreed Arina.

"We'll be on the lookout all day," Darien reassured her. "But class is starting in a half an hour."

"The headmaster must be your favorite uncle, ne?" asked Raye.

"Raye," said Uni, looking at her, "He's my only uncle. Besides, he can be unusually fun sometime."

"Oh," Raye blushed.

"Well, we can't just sit here and not look for Professor Dumbledore!" a voice said.

Uni sighed. People have been sneaking up behind them a lot lately. It was like a trend or something. Everyone looked towards the person who spoke. It was Harry and his two friends.

"Why'd you follow us?" asked Mina.

"Yeah, didn't we say it was private?" said Amy.

"Sorry," he said, "We couldn't help it."

"I betcha you couldn't," mumbled Uni.

"Don't be so mean," exclaimed Arina, slapping her in the head. Uni gave her an evil stare, rubbing her head, which Arina ignored.

"What are we suppose to do?" asked Michiru.

Everyone started to think hard, except Uni, who hated thinking when she could help it. It gave her a headache every time.

"I know!" cried Amy suddenly.

The scouts and the others stared at Amy with questioning looks that said, "What?"

"I can use my computer to locate him!" she answered.

"You're a genius Amy!!" shrieked Sam.

"But there's only one problem," said Hermione.

"What is it?" asked Harry.

"Computerized things won't work at Hogwarts. You have to go off Hogwarts ground to make it work," she answered, "Don't you two remember that!? I've told you both millions of time this year!"

"Oh yeaahh…" Harry and Ron said slowly.

"Do not worry, Hermione," said Amy, "My computer will work, even at Hogwarts."

"How do you manage to do that?" she asked.

"My computer is far more advanced than any computers you have seen in the muggle world, Hermione," said Amy winking. "Trust me, if I said it'll work, it'll work."

"Uhh…question!?" asked Ron, raising his hand. Everyone looked at him. "What's this com-puter thing you people keep talking about?"

"We would explained it to you, Ron, but you'll still won't get it," said Harry, shaking his head. Ron shrugged in reply.

Amy took her mercury computer out of her bag and started typing very fast. "That map of Hogwarts you placed in here is finally paying off, Uni. Thanks."

"Welcome," said Uni, in a dull voice. Amy continued typing rapidly and Sam and Arina looked closely at their sister. "What?" she asked, annoyed.

"You look depressed," said Arina.

"Hai, Too depressed for your own good," added Sam.

Uni stood up in frustration. "I'll go look outside. I haven't looked there yet."

"But class is starting soon," Harry told her.

"I know, but this is the headmaster we're talking about," said Uni, looking back at him, "When we do find him, I'm sure he'll excuse us from our class."

She left and sneaked started to sneak outside when a hand grabbed her shoulder. Uni winced. She hated being touched and knew that she shouldn't grab the hand and throw whoever it was across the hall. So the scout did the only thing she could do. Turn around and was face to face with Professor McGonagall.

"Where do you think you're going, young lady?" she asked sternly, "And have you forgotten that you must get your punishment for the trouble you've made this morning in the Great Hall."

"ummm…yes?" Uni said, putting an innocent face on. McGonagall just put her hands on her hips, letting Uni go, which she sighed with relief. "Umm…about me going outside? I uhh…have to look…for someone."

"And who would that be?"

"I really do not feel comfortable telling you."

"Why's that?"

"Cause you might…panic?"

"Miss Shields…" The Professor said in a warning tone.

Uni sighed and replied, "Uncle Albus is missing along with Malfoy."

"O-oh m-my!"

"So…you think I can go find them, Professor? The only place I haven't looked is outside. Amy is on her computer searching for them also," said Uni.

"Uh-huh, do whatever you wish," said McGonagall, still shocked.

Uni ran out of the school before the professor could change her mind. It was mid-winter and cold outside. All Uni had on was her school robes and she was chilly, but didn't really mind. She concentrated and her own computer came out of nowhere. It was the same kind of computer as Amy except more advanced that held a lot more memory and it was black and white.

She started typing rapidly, as Amy had, trying to locate the missing people. The computer started beeping and a map came onto her computer.

"Hmm…" Uni ran towards Hagrid's hut, her computer still open.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"I've got it!!" Amy cried, as her computer bleeped. The sailor scouts, Harry, Hermione, and Ron surrounded her. "They're right here. Beyond Hagrid's hut." She pointed at the place on her computer.

"That's the Forbidden Forest!" cried Harry.

"We're not allowed to inside there," said Hermione.

"Well we're going to have to break the rules," said Darien.

"Yes," agreed Amy, "Especially since Uni is on her way there. She may need our help, if she find the youma."

"Let's go," said Haruka. The scouts all got up from their seat and rushed outside, followed by Harry, Hermione, and Ron. They all ran past McGonagall, who stopped them before they took a step outside.

"All of you stop right there!" Everyone froze. "What do you think you're doing!? Class is starting and Uni has already gone past!"

"Professor! The headmaster is missing and so is Malfoy!" protested Michiru.

"Yes, we've figured out where they lie," said Lita.

"And Uni probably can't fight that youma alone," said Arina.

The professor rubbed her temples and said, "I've already warned the teachers. I doubt we'll need your help."

"But professor!" shouted Sam, "If we don't help Uni and the youma appears, she'll die if it takes her energy!"

"And the same will happen to Malfoy and Dumbledore, if it already hasn't taken their energy," said Darien.

She sighed, "I just can't let you go. Let us teachers handle this."

"Professor," said Serena, finally speaking, "We're not asking for your permission. We'll go whether you say so or not."

"We have a friend in danger and we will help her no matter what," said Mina.

"And without Professor Dumbledore, there will be chaos here at Hogwarts," said Haruka.

"Let them go, Minerva," said Setsuna, coming up behind her. "They know how to take care of themselves. Let us warn and tell the students what has happened."

"Alright, Setsuna," McGonagall finally agreed, "But you all be careful."

"Let's go!" shouted Raye.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"Forbidden Forest," Uni whispered. She rushed into the forest and soon found a cave. Mist coming out of it, as if daring her to come inside. She gladly took the challenge and went in, taking her wand out.

She didn't like using wands, and could just point at things. But Dumbledore had told her that it was better to buy a wand to use, so that it wouldn't be suspicious. For once that year, she would gladly use her wand. The rest of the time it would just annoy her like everything else.

"Lumos," she muttered. The end of her wand lit up and the cave shone with its light. She walked slowly with her wand out in front of her, so that she wouldn't trip like Serena. Soon, she heard voices and she extinguish her wand.

"Good job, Mushi," said a cold voice. "You've captured the headmaster and this boy." It cackled.

"Anything for you, master," said the youma.

"Steal every ounce of energy from this boy and leave Dumbledore to me, for later," ordered the voice.

"As you wish, master," said Mushi. The youma advanced on Malfoy, whom Uni heard whimper. 'Damn, I cannot let that youma get his energy no matter how much he annoys me,' growled Uni to herself. 'I swear I am going to regret this!'

She quietly transformed and lucky for her, her transformation was pure black and not light like Serena's and the other scouts, so the youma could not see her transform. Her brooch placed itself onto her chest and black ribbons came out of it surrounding her body. It formed her suit, gloves, and boots, and her staff came out of nowhere. It circled her and her skirt came into sight. Soon her transformation was finished, when her tiara and earrings appeared.

"Get away from me, you monster!" she heard Malfoy shout.

Ok, so she decided to wait until the youma advanced on Malfoy before revealing herself. So what? After all, it' s not like it's going to make any difference. He didn't know she was a scout and she did just flip him over last night.

Malfoy grabbed a stick that laid next to him and swung at the youma. It snickered, enjoying Malfoy's fear.

"Ooh, watch it," the youma said, "You could hurt someone with that."

"Yeah, you!" said a cool, cold voice. "Step away from him!"

The youma turned around, and tried to locate Sailor Universe, wherever she was hiding. It hissed in anger. Suddenly, it got kicked it the head and kneed in the stomach. A blunt object hit it in the head and knocked it unconscious. Universe clapped her hands together, as if dusting her hands off and smirked.

"That was easy," she said.

Malfoy looked at the girl in shock, not able to say anything to his rescuer. He just stared at her as she snickered in an evil way at the fallen youma. Her evil smile reminded him of someone, but he couldn't place who. She stopped dusting off imaginary dust off her hands and turned towards Malfoy. Universe extended her hand and offered it to him, who gladly took it, and with her help, stood up. Malfoy dusted himself off, from all the dust he had gotten from the cave and the youma dragging him off.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah. Who are you?" he asked.

"You might know later," she said. Universe walked over to her uncle and placed her head to his chest, to see if he was still alive. "Barely a beat," she whispered and closed her eyes. The scout opened them again and looked at Malfoy. "Help me. We have to get out of here before that stupid thing wakes up again."

Malfoy did as he was told and they each grabbed one of the headmaster's arms. They started walking towards the exit of the cave, when the youma started to stir.

"We better hurry, it is going to wake up," said Sailor Universe.

Malfoy only nodded. He still hadn't said much to her. He, Draco Malfoy, for once in his life, he was tongue-tie. They dragged Dumbledore out of the cave and into the blue clear sky the sun shining bright. Malfoy stared at Universe as they walked. After a while, they laid the unconscious headmaster onto a tree. All of a sudden, the quiet forest became filled with the shrieks of birds taking flight into the clear sky. They both looked up and Universe narrowed her eyes.

"What's wrong?" he managed to ask her.

She didn't reply instantaneously and kept looking up. "It is coming." Then she looked towards Malfoy, who for some unknown reason blushed. Deciding to ignore this, she said, "Do you think you can get un…err…the headmaster up to the school, yourself?" she asked.

"I guess," he replied, "Might take a while."

"I will help you carry him at least halfway, depending on when that youma decides to catch up with us," she said.

Again, they carried Dumbledore towards Hogwarts. In a few minutes, they were out of the Forbidden Forest and walked past Hagrid's hut. Universe's keen eye saw that a group of people was running towards them. All of a sudden, something blasted her a couple feet away from where Dumbledore and Malfoy stood. She stood up slowly, her back aching in pain. The scouts of darkness looked back towards Malfoy and saw the youma racing towards him. She ran swiftly towards him also and pushed both him and Dumbledore out of the way before the youma could touch him. She landed on top of him and Dumbledore were next to them. She blushed slightly and got up and helped him up once again.

"Hey!!" shouted Serena from behind them. ("Why do people keep doing that?" Universe asked herself.)

Finally, the scouts and the three following them arrived at the scene. Malfoy and Universe grabbed Dumbledore again and waited for the scouts to come.

Sailor Universe pointed at the inner scouts, Ron, Hermione, and Harry. "You all bring Malfoy and Dumbledore to the school and into the infirmary immediately," she ordered,

"What about you?" asked Harry.

"I will be fine," said Universe, 'Besides, I have to take care of this youma first."

Amy and Raye grabbed Dumbledore and started walking towards the school, while Lita and Mina pushed Malfoy a little towards it. He was looking at Universe, his eyes saying he was worried about her getting hurt. Once they were all out of sight, Universe scanned for the youma with her computer.

"So what happened?" asked Haruka.

"Voldemort," was the reply and more typing was heard.

"You mean…" started Darien.

"Yeah," she said, still typing. Then, it beeped, "Got you." She turned to her fellow scouts and Darien and said, 'Transform."

"Uranus Planet Power!!"

"Neptune Power!!

"StarLight Power!!"

"Quasar Power!!"

"Moon Cosmic Power!!"

Darien transformed into Tuxedo Mask in his usual quiet way. After the light show ended, the youma appeared as if on cue and tackled Universe down. After she was down, the youma turned to Quasar and growled.

"Did you know your breath stinks?" asked Universe from behind him. "Shadow Blast!!"

It tumbled towards the other scouts has he was blasted back. The scouts took their chance to take this chance to finish it once and for all.

"World Shaking!"

"Deep Submerge!"

"Light Orb!"

"Quasar Flash!"

"Moon Tiara Action!!"

The attacks combined into Sailor Moon's tiara and cut the youma in half. Instead of falling into ashes, like they usually do, the youma just laughed and regenerated his body into one. The scouts gasped in surprise. They were not expecting this.

"I don't get it!" shouted Sailor Moon.

"This has never happened before!" said StarLight.

"Its power has been given a major boost by Voldemort," said Universe. She had taken out her computer and scanned it. "We need way more power than we have now."

"But how do we do it!?" shrieked Quasar. She became hysterical.

"Err…calm down Sailor Quasar," said Tuxedo Mask patting her on the shoulder, "We'll come up with something."

"Okay!" she said, lightening up again. He fell down, anime style.

"You cannot defeat me," said the youma, snickering, "With the boost of energy that I have received from Lord Voldemort, my master, I am unstoppable. I will get rid of you first, you annoying scout!!" He lunged towards Sailor Universe, who simply jumped away from it.

"Why?" she snickered, "Am I that annoying? Come and catch me if you can!"

"Argh!!" it lunged at her again and again she jumped away from it, but it grabbed her leg and pulled her down.

"Ugh!!" she landed onto her back again forcefully. Now her back really ached, as if she got run over by a truck. She moaned in pain.

"Sailor Universe!!" shouted the scouts.

"Get off her!! World Shaking!!"

"Deep Submerge!!"

The youma simply waved its hands and the attacks went away. It turned its attention back to the severely injured Sailor Universe.

"Damn that hurts," she stated, "I will teach you to mess with me. Dark Flame Inferno!!" The flames flew towards the youma and surrounded it. "Better hope I am rusty, because this will hurt!"

The flames connected with each other, making a circle around it. Universe placed her hands together slowly and the circle did the same thing. Once the flame of dark fire touched it skin it yelped in pain. Her hands connected and the youma was yelling in pain.

"Kablamo," mumbled Universe. Her eyes turned red with fury and the youma was gone after blowing up (a/n: don't you love blowing things up?) into smithereens.

"Eww!!! Gross!! Youma leftovers!!" whined StarLight.

"This stuff stinks!" added Quasar.

"Hee hee!" giggled Sailor Moon, "Tuxedo Mask is covered in it!"

He scowled at his girlfriend and started to brush them off with an annoyed face. Universe also started to do that and she agreed silently. It did smell. What you do to save the stupid world.

"Let's go back before someone calls a search party," suggested Sailor Uranus.

The scouts agreed and they de-transformed and walked their way up to Hogwarts. Some of them were still in the goos of the youma had left over and were trying to scrub it off.

"I am going to change," said Uni.

"Okay," said Arina, "We'll see you in the Great Hall."

Uni left them and walked towards the Slytherin Tower herself.

* * * * * * * * * * *

"That youma was weird," stated Haruka, as they walked towards the Great Hall.

"Yes, if the other youma we will encounter soon are like that, we will have a hard time defeating them," agreed Michiru.

"Then what do we do?" asked Serena.

"We can't keep depending on Uni all the time," said Darien, "One of these days she might not be around to help us."

"We better come up with an idea soon," said Arina, seriously.

"Yeah," echoed Sam, "Maybe Setsuna or Uni can train us?"

"I'll ask Setsuna this afternoon when I have her class," said Darien.

"You take Muggle Studies?" asked Serena, "I didn't know that."

Darien shrugged. "It's the only class that's really easy."

Everyone sweatdropped and Arina exclaimed loudly, "OOOH!!! Darien's starting to slack off!!!"

"Am not!" he argued.

"You are too!!"

He sighed. "Whatever." Arina giggled and Sam and Serena joined in. He rolled his eyes at them. They arrived at the Great Hall and saw that all the students were already there chattering. The scouts sat next to Fred and George and their friend Lee Jordan. They were talking furiously.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked George.

"Where were you all!!" he cried, "Didn't you hear? Dumbledore's missing!"

"Yeah, some monster took him away," added Lee Jordan.

"Don't forget Malfoy!!" yelled Fred, and then added, "Not that anyone cares." He snickered.

"That was mean, Lee Jordan!!" shouted Serena hitting him in the head with her fork.

"Didn't know you liked him," stated Fred, "Sorry if you missed him, but the rest of us absolutely hate him." He grinned as Serena turned crimson red.

"You are so going to get it now, Fred Weasly!!" she shouted. He screamed and ran for his life. An angry Serena got up and ran after him with her fork, ready to be plunged into him any second.

"I better tell the Professor that we've found them," said Michiru.

Sam stifled a laugh and said pointing at the teacher, "Amy and the others beat you to it."

The scouts looked and saw the inners scout talking to Setsuna. Setsuna nodded and whispered into Professor McGonagall's ear, who seemed to sighed in relief. Harry, Hermione, and Ron appeared and sat at the empty seats next to the scouts.

"What are you guys looking at?" asked Ron.

"Oh, just the teachers and the scou…Ron!!!" shouted Arina. "Don't do that!!"

Harry and everyone else snickered. "Sorry, Arina," apologized Ron, sheepishly.

Arina grinned. "Gomen, Ron. You just scared me," then she changed the subject, "Is Professor Dumbledore and Malfoy alright?"

"Yeah, Dumbledore's still unconscious though," replied Harry.

"That's Professor Dumbledore," said Amy, sitting down.

"Hee hee, Amy's gone to correcting lil ol us to Harry and the others," giggled Mina.

The scouts and Darien groaned while Amy scowled. "They have to respect their elders and have to speak in correct English!" Everyone rolled their eyes, except for Hermione who agreed.

Professor (I used Professor, happy Amy?) McGonagall stood up and got the students attention by shooting some sparks from her wand. After the Hall had gotten quiet, she said something that relieved everyone, well almost everyone. The Slytherin's didn't take the news as well.

"I have just received news that Professor Dumbledore and student Draco Malfoy has been found. At this moment, they are lying in the infirmary. Please do not barge in there no matter the circumstances. If you wish to speak to Malfoy or the headmaster, please seek my permission." She sat back down and the students began to chatter even louder.

Soon everyone began to forget about the headmaster and Malfoy and began to eat as if nothing had happened. Serena still ate as fast as she could take in and everyone stared at her. Ron was talking to Arina and Amy and Hermione were talking in English but with very big words that no one could understand except them. Darien could only understand most of it.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Uni walked alone in the hallways. She stumbled from time to time but managed to walk on, holding the wall to support herself and to avoid from falling. After using that attack, she was feeling woozy and had lost tremendous amount of energy. Uni, almost at the Slytherin's Tower, stopped and sighed, taking a deep breath. She slumped onto the wall, and sighed again. She was so tired. Without noticing, her eyes closed slowly and she laid there in the hallway of Hogwarts.

A door opened at the top of the stairs, near where Uni laid unconscious. The person walked down the steps and when he reached bottom, he gasped and walked over to Uni. The mysterious person picked her up and walked over to the Slytherin's entrance. After muttering the password, he stepped inside along with Uni in his arms and walked to the girls' dormitories. (Ack! You're not suppose to be in there! ^_^) Walking to her bed, he placed her gently on it and covered her with her blanket. Before leaving, he made a fire in the fireplace and surprisingly gave Uni a kiss on the lips! After leaving, Uni stirred from her sleep her face bewildered. 'Who was that?' she asked in her dreams.
