Hey guys! I hope you're ready for this one! (grins)

I warn you now though; it may take a little more time between the updates, not much, but I have to constantly think over the plot because it's more elaborated than in my other stories. It's HP/SM (good ol' HP/SM) and it will be a Harry/Serena pairing (duh!).

You have to read the 1st chapter carefully because it's set in different times. Harry will probably come in the 4th or 5th chapter.

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Sailor Moon or Harry Potter I'd be filthy rich, which I'm not, and Daniel Radcliffe would probably be sitting beside me right now…(pouts)

Within the Chamber she Lies

Chapter 1: The experiment

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Explanations

Neo-Queen Serenity and her court lived a full and happy life until it is finally time for Lady Serenity to take the throne with Helios at her side. The day of the crowning, Chaos appears once more to shatter the queen's life.

Serenity retaliates with force, protecting the others with a powerful shield against their will. She fights Chaos with all she has, all along thinking about her days of freedom when she was Sailor Moon, when she could freely roam the city as she pleased.

With one last goodbye smile towards her king, daughter and senshi, she uses the Ginzuishou to banish Chaos once again but in the process Chaos unleashes a deadly attack and shatters the Crystal. The 2 most powerful beings in this universe disappeared without a trace this fateful day, leaving a once more peaceful world behind.

Of course, everyone is devastated but they are all now wondering; she was supposed to become Cosmos after her reign as Neo-Queen Serenity… What happened for her fate to change, and what will happen to her now? It even left Pluto baffled.

This is how another story begins…

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

1000 years before the Hogwarts we know, years even before its construction…

"Are you still entirely sure you want to do that? All the other subjects died and those experiments are all highly illegal. We could be banished from the wizarding world just for this…" said a blue eyed, blonde haired young wizard in his mid 20s.

He was wearing a red cloak trimmed with gold; the colors of his family. Normally he held himself with confidence but he was nervous these days and he talked to his friend with insecurity laced in his voice.

The other man scowled and continued on with the experience. "We've already talked about this and we were both okay with this. There's no way I'm stopping now! I didn't intentionally make myself a bad reputation to hear you try to coward your way out! You're a bloody Gryffindor, Godric! Your family is known for its courageous acts, isn't it? Now give me your arm so I can take the blood I need to get on with this."

The equally young wizard who spoke had long dark hair and vivid green eyes. Coming from an equally powerful family, Salazar Slytherin was known for his wits and talents in potion making.

However, his popularity had taken a turn for the worst when rumors spread in the wizarding world that he was an adept of the Dark Arts. The real fact was; Salazar had intentionally helped to start this rumor by going into Knockturn Alley.

Why? Nobody except him and Godric knew and nobody would even think about him and Godric to be in the same league. To insure the safety of their experiment and the utmost privacy, he had decided it was for the best that he make himself a bad reputation to be left alone in Slytherin Manor where he and Godric were presently at.

Godric kept the press and publicity riveted on his person and Salazar was left alone, as simple as that. Now, if only their experiment was as simple…

………

Months later

"I can't believe it worked!" chanted a very happy and festive Godric Gryffindor. Salazar looked pretty happy himself as he got an old bottle of Firewhisky from his storage room.

They both watched with contented expressions the growing infant in a glass container spelled to hold the precious growing life-form. Godric was elated and yet calm, watching this new little baby. "I can't believe this one actually survived! It's been 7 months; I think it's safe to say that there aren't going to be any more complications. Though I must admit that it would have been easier to just choose a woman to bear the baby."

Salazar shook his head negatively with conviction. "No way. We didn't work this hard for the baby to have foreign blood in the end!" he said, finishing his glass of Firewhisky.

Godric shrugged at his friend's outburst. "I can't believe I'm…WE'RE going to be fathers. I'm happy but…this child won't ever be able to go outside at the wizards' mercy. And it had to be a girl too! I always knew that girl had iron wills; she's the proof, the only one who survived. Still, it's going to be hard for her" the red cloaked men finished sadly.

Salazar scoffed and slapped him on the back good-naturedly. "Bah! Nonsense! I know for a fact that you'll shower her with gifts and all; I'm rather afraid you'll make her a daddy's girl with a knack for trouble!" exclaimed the dark haired wizard with a smirk etched on his face.

Godric rolled his eyes but knew deep within him that Salazar was probably right. But the mood quickly sobered up as they both glanced again at their experiment, now their daughter. "I wonder what she'll look and be like…" the blonde man whispered softly.

Salazar's thoughts were slightly darker, though. "I wonder if she will be as powerful as we hope her to be…and if she'll be able to hold this kind of magic and responsibility. Both of our blood flows in her veins and no one elses; a more than pureblooded and incomparable mix between the Oh so different families of Gryffindor and Slytherin…"

Silence reigned in the dimly lit room the minute Salazar finished the dreaded sentence.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Okay. I hope you're not too confused. Don't worry, it won't stay this way. I had to create an air of mystery around this chapter, if you know what I mean…

And I hope you are not thinking about Salazar being in love with Godric or vice-versa. It's not yaoi and those men are virile through and through! It's just that they wanted to see what kind of being could be born from the union of their 2 powerful bloodlines.

The world of Sailor Moon will hardly be mentioned and I won't write 20 chapters describing her new childhood. Time will pass rather fast until…Hey, I'm not telling. (blows a raspberry playfully)

I hope you've enjoyed this 1st chapter!

R&R!!!
