Carmela frowned as she materialized after Orbing, she guessed one would call it heaven, it had clouds, and light and the Elders kept it seventy five degrees, they were still using Fahrenheit here, it was even worse all of her fellow Elders were sitting there waiting for her. Yes; Carmela is an Elder, she didn't like to flaunt that, but she was a law unto herself, she didn't follow the codes to the letter, but that might be because she couldn't while training new Whitelighters. If they were planning on recycling her, they wouldn't have a teacher.
"This better be in important," Carmela stated. She wasn't at all happy with the whole; let's not tell Alexis where she came from thing,
"You have told the hybrid about the Dark Lord," the Elder Sandra stated,
Carmela fought to roll her eyes, even the Elders were afraid of Voldemort, but she did grit her teeth at 'the hybrid'
"That Hybrid has a name, and its Alexis or Morgana whichever you prefer," Carmela responded, "Is that all or can I go?"
"We must ask more of you. Carmela," Odin asked,
Carmela knew everything she had to do, keep the other chosen one safe, if it meant dragging her up to the heavens. Which knowing Lexi, she wouldn't like,
"We don't want the hybr...Alexis to know about her past, for her safety," Roland continued, he was going to say hybrid but the glare Carmela was giving made him change his mind,
Carmela crossed her arms. "I will not keep my charge in the dark about her past, she's already remembering the night of her...uh...rescue, but she does need preparation if what we guess is true, that Voldemort is alive and only incapacitated for the time being,"
"If Voldemort is indeed a alive, he might try to form an Alliance between his followers and demons." Ramus added, "Also we do not like the way you handled Professor Snape, you could have been more gentle."
"I didn't hurt him, but I stand by my promise, if I ever hear him speak or even think about commenting on my charge, I will orb him into the underworld or a volcano" Carmela replies, her eyes harden. Sure she was grateful that she didn't have to stuck up with these Elders, and they didn't really like that She was an Elder, but it was part of a package deal, she wasn't just a meant to a whitelighter like she told Lexi, she was meant to an Elder, because she knew more of the Wizarding world then the others do. She grew up in the wizarding World, and gone to school at Hogwarts, the teachers and headmaster had changed since her time, but most of everything was still the same,
The elders looked at each other each other thinking the same thing, that they didn't have anything to argue with. "I think we discussed all we have too."
Carmela nodded, "But I want to know something, what going on with the other Charmed Ones?"
The Elders once again looked at each other, Carmela took this as a bad sign,
"It has come to our attention that Leo has fallen in love with one of the sisters." Roland stated, his tone seemed displeased.
Carmela was against the law that Whitelighter and Witches shouldn't be together, she thought it would be a fair relationship, because they didn't have to keep secrets from their partners.
"You know my feelings on the subject, and Also I would like to be informed if something were to happen, so I can keep Lexi informed. She needs to know if her sisters need the Power of Four,"
"We will decide on a meeting place, other then Golden Gate Bridge." Sandra agreed.
"Thank you," Carmela stated then orb away.
She had a place in mind that she hadn't been in a long time, the Brooks family Mausoleum. She didn't visit her family graves very often because her parents and siblings were reincarnated so many times, they might not remember being her family.
"Now I feel really strange visiting my own Mausoleum," Carmela gave a dry laugh, she walked up to her mothers' plaque. She ran her hand along the dull gold writing, she bowed her head in a silent prayer, she wasn't going to talk out loud because she didn't really get along well her mother. But now that she has lived one hundred and ninety-nine years without her, she missed everything about her. The way she smiled when Carmela passed her O.W.L's to the day when her name was drawn from the Goblet of Fire.
She felt tears fall remembering, that fateful drawing that lead to her death. But that day gave her a new life, as a whitelighter and her dream to be a teacher. Working for the greater good, if her family could see her now, they would disown her.
She turned and stared at the only sliver plague on the left side of the wall, her eyes pricked with more tears. There were the words, Carmela Star Brooks, born 1775, died 1792. beloved daughter and sister. Triwizard Champion,
"My parents loved me?" Carmela thought outloud, she didn't know how much she meant to her family before her death. She smiled then orbed back to Lexi's dorm and fell asleep on the couch.
She woke to someone shaking her, she opened her eyes to find a blonde haired blue eyed man standing before her. "Leo?"
"Sorry to bother you, Carmela, but I need someone on my side." Leo replied.
"Your side, I'm lost." Carmela replied sitting up.
"The other Elders are threatening to reassign me, so I won't be the older Charmed Ones' whitelighter." Leo explained.
"They are trying to do what?" screeched Carmela. She didn't know that Hermione and Lexi were eavesdropping.
"Please help me, Carmela, you're the Only Elder that thinks whitelighter-witch relationships can work." Leo begged. The two heard a gasp and turn to the stairs to find Lexi standing there her mouth open in shock.
Lexi closed her mouth and blinked "You're an Elder!"
