As Christmas approached, Jade and Nicholae became more apprehensive each day. They were not actually looking forward to it, but they expected it. Jade and Draco were having sex regularly now, and Nicholae was becoming more hostile. Nicholae was still looked down on by the Slytherins, as they had no clue about what was going to happen. Very few people knew, in fact, but Dumbledore had every intention of changing that.

He came to Nicholae and Jade one day as they were trying to find away around Jade dying.

"Still trying to avoid her death?" he asked neither in particular.

"I have accepted it Headmaster, but Nicholae is still persistent." said a highly exasperated Jade.

"Headmaster, I'm scared. I can not kill her; I know it deep down. There has to be a way around it. I am not prepared, and when the time comes, Jade will rise. I just know it."

"Nonsense, my child, you have it in you." Dumbledore said, but Nicholae noticed that he did not quite meet her eyes when he said it. He knew it, but he couldn't admit it. If Nicholae didn't get brave soon, innocent people were going to die. This was her fate; she had to accept it. Or had she already?

Everyone kept advising her to accept her fate, but she had accepted it. That was not the trouble. The trouble was following through with it. Even if they were opposites, Nicholae loved her sister very much. They were both very powerful, but Nicholae had a flaw, a very big flaw. She had compassion, and that was what was keeping her from destiny.

"Anyway," said Dumbledore snapping her back to reality, " I am here to seek approval to announce the truth at dinner tonight. I think that the students have a right to know. I would not suggest it unless I found it in the best interest for everyone. I have given permission for you and a guest to sit at the high table, so as not to be bombarded with questions. Yay or Nay is all I need to know."

"Yay"
"Yay" said Nicholae as she began to think about whom she could have sit, and then it came to her. Harry!

"Harry, I need to talk to you!" said Nicholae as they walked out of charms. She pulled him to the side and tried to explain.

"Err… Well, Dumbledore is announcing it to everyone at dinner tonight and Jade and I are each allowed to have a guest. Since you, Jade, Draco, and Zoe are the only people that don't hate me, or aren't scared of me, I have decided to ask you. Please harry, I need you." She pleaded. He looked so handsome standing there, and she really wanted to kiss him but decided against it.

"I'd love to Nicholae, but there is something I need to talk to you about. Over the past few months, I have enjoyed spending time with you. I have also grown to think of you as more than a friend does. If you don't want to think of us like that, I'll understand. I just don't want to ruin our…" but Harry never finished because she kissed him.

"Harry I hope you know what you are getting your self into. I am a very high maintenance girl. I mean, between saving the world, and kicking Parvati's ass, what's next?" she smiled as he laughed. He had a nice laugh. "Seriously, though, Harry, do you really want to get into this? I have a lot of responsibility."

"I'm positive!" he said before clasping a necklace around her. She looked down and there was an ankh and a Latin inscription. "It means 'You have my love in this life and the next'. Do you like it?" he asked anxiously.

"Oh Harry, I love it. I'll never take it off!"

Harry, Nicholae, Jade, and Draco sat patiently as Dumbledore explained it all. As he finished, they all craned their necks to stare. Jade sat poised and diligent, but Nicholae grasped Harry's hand tighter.

Her realization then hit her. 'Everything's changed. All of these people's lives have been turned upside down. No one is going to like Jade anymore because she's "evil". Everyone is going to try to be my friend because I am the Seeker of Light. I am the good half. I swear, these people have no idea what happens outside of their perfect, safe little world. My sister is going to die soon Damnit and I'm going to be the one that kills her!'

Jade saw that hatred was again overcoming her sister.' hate overpowers love and when it hits her, she's going to lash out again.'

Dumbledore beamed at the girls. He seemed so proud. Jade then turned to Draco and whispered "He seems quite proud of someone who can kill them all and is "evil". Sometimes I think he forgets the actuality of the situation. I mean, how would you like to wake up everyday thinking 'hmm… I might die today, better make it worth while.' This is a terrible burden, not a privilege."

When dinner was over Jade and Nicholae both went to the Gryffindor common room. Dumbledore had advised it because he didn't think Nicholae could handle being swarmed alone. As the portrait hole flung open, everyone got up but quickly sat down when they saw Jade 'Hey,' she thought 'If they're scared of me, I might as well have some fun with it.'

"Scared little Gryffindors? Aww… the big bad Slytherin/Princess of Darkness is in your presence and you don't even bow?"

Jade couldn't help but roll when everyone but Harry and Nicholae hit the ground. "Jeez, I was joking. Get up! I'm still Jade, but now I'm just evil Jade. I'm sleeping here tonight, too. Just something I thought you should keep in mind."

Jade was inwardly bawling because she was laughing so hard. A few words from Dumbledore and their opinion of her had totally changed. Then she saw who she had been looking for since she entered the common room. Parvati Patil!

"Parvati," she said coolly as she approached her, " I think my sister handled you quite well, but I'm just here to remind you. My threat still stands, though I doubt you need reminding."

Nicholae walked over to where Harry was sitting and laid her across his lap. Jade seemed to be enjoying her so she wanted to be with Harry. She kissed him softly before being pulled up roughly by her collar. Hermione Granger was standing there looking at her infuriated.

"How dare you? All you do is prance around making guys swoon for you. Now you've gone after Harry, and it's the last straw. You are a whore! Your sister is too! I don't care if you are going to save the world. I think I'd rather die than let the likes of you save me. So what are you going to do now? Sic your sister on me? "

"Vacarleous rahn tatem vostley katarada mafacato!" screamed Jade as Hermione hit the floor. Everyone quickly backed away, but it was too late. It was happening right here and now. Parvati went for Hermione's neck and announced through tears "Hermione's dead! She fucking dead, and you killed her!"

***** *****

Nicholae and Jade ran down the hall hand in hand to Dumbledore's office. They quickly said the password and raced up the stairs. They burst through the door, and Nicholae spoke as she gasped for air. "It has begun! Jade just killed Hermione Granger. Voldermort is here. I don't know where, but he is at Hogwarts. Headmaster, get the students safe, and Hurry!" she said hurriedly.

They did not wait for a reply. They knew what they had to do. Jade then turned to Nicholae and stooped abruptly. "Nicholae, I love you. You are a good sister. I am so sorry that I have to do this, but it will make you a hero," she said trying to smile through her tears. She then flung her arms around Nicholae's nick and sobbed into her shoulder. "I don't want to die, Sis. I'm not ready to die. I'm sorry. Tell Draco I love him." Before Nicholae could respond, Jade was running down the hall with her amulet shining black. She then looked down and saw that her own amulet was now putting off a brilliant white light.

Nicholae went straight to the Great Hall. She raised her hands and blasted the doors open, because no one would acknowledge her knocking, She quickly closed the door muttering words that she had never heard before in her entire life. The students all sat squeezed together to feel safe. Her thoughts then went to Jade. She was fulfilling her destiny. She should be happy for her, but instead she is sad. Nicholae then set herself to patrolling the walls. If Jade came, then she would have to save them all.
