Ok, this one is a bit short…
la verità è verso l'esterno là
the truth is out there
"James!" Gemini whined "Can you move over a bit to the right? No your other right, there we go, now a lil higher, Don't you lose your patience
It was a rather funny sight to see. Everybody was crowded around the Gryffindor bulletin board, to see who made the quidditch team.
"Alright I see it!" Gemini shouted, bouncing on James's shoulders out of anxiety.
"Gem, I know you're excited, but would you please just read the quidditch trail results!"
"Oh, yea, sorry James, ok lets see" Gemini said craning her neck "ok Gryffindor quidditch team. Captain- Michael Lewis, Seeker- Michael Lewis, Keeper- Sam Woods, Beater One- Gemini Cielo (YYEESS, whoa, uh sorry James, yes I promise I wont have another spaz attack) Beater Two- … Sirius (excuse me while I go throw up) Chaser One- James Potter (good job James, I knew you could do it, and I will pinch whoever's cheeks I want to pinch, than you very much) Chaser Two- Jessica Maxwell, Chaser Three- Samantha Stevens. Well that's it, thank you James." Gemini said, after James lifted her off of his shoulders. Reality set in.
"WE MADE IT!" The two Gryffindors screamed as they jumped up and down hugging each other.
"That's nice Cielo" Sirius snapped, as he came over and gave James a 'guy hug' and congratulated him. "What did you do to bribe your self on to the team, did you do the captain and favors, any special moments?"
Gemini was still shaken over the whole sudden break up thing, unfortunately for Sirius; she still had the shortest temper of anyone in the school. Having your ex-boyfriend taunt you when you are still up set and having a short temper is not a good combination. So she hit him. "Sirius, I cant stand your attitude, if you cant say anything nice to me, don't even talk to me, you know what, don't ever talk to me again!" The entire common room was now looking at them, it was twice in three days this happened, and the situation was becoming very interesting, "And if you even think, that I'm going to associate myself with you, you have another thing coming to you. And don't you dare give me that look; I will break every bone in your body Sirius black! And don't think I won't, Because you know I can, and after what I did to your little girl friend, don't think I won't do it again! No that wasn't a threat, I don't give threats, I shell out promises, and that's is a promise I intend to keep" She yelled, and she stormed over to where Remus and Lily were playing chess.
"Somebody's PMSing" Sirius said, shaking his head and going over to where Cleo and her friends where sitting, ready to congratulate him.
"I can't stand him!" Gemini snapped, and she plopped down on the floor next to Remus and Lily.
"Gem, calm down, he's being an ass, just knock him around a few times, and get over with it" Lily said, not taking her eyes off of the chess board.
"Yea, just give him the old, right left, knock out a few teeth and let it be" Remus said, nonchalantly
"Remus! Don't give her any idea's!" Bella commented, as she to sat down on the floor, "Gem, is crazy enough to do it"
"And pissed off enough to" Gemini said, staring in to the fire "maybe if I-"
"No, you are not going to sink down to his level, if anything, just create a scene in the great hall, start screaming sexual harassment, then beat down on Sirius" Lily mused
"Wow, lily, that was really good" James commented, and he took a seat next to Gemini "I didn't know you had it in you"
"That's why nobody suspects me for anything" Lily grinned "Checkmate" Her smile grew even more as she looked at the stunned look on Remus' face. He had lost a chess match.
* * *
"It's the first match of the season, Hufflepuff." Michael Lewis said, pacing around in the locker room, "If we play like we did in practice, we will kick their asses." He said, punching his hand in to his fist. "Now, Hufflepuff has really good chasers, so that's why we need you two to get those Bludgers soaring, and hit really, really hard." He added in, looking towards Gemini and Sirius. "Now, lets get out there, and fly like we've never flown before, so that we can start a good reputation for ourselves"
The Gryffindor team walked proudly out into the quidditch pitch, where the Hufflepuff team was already waiting. It was a very windy day and it was very cold.
"Alright, on the whistle we take off!" The referee yelled over the howling winds "One, Two, ::Whistle blows::"
And they were off, rocketing into the sky. Gemini rounded, hovering over the pitch, scanning the field. She saw a Bludger soar towards James. She dove down, bat in hand, and sent it flying towards the Hufflepuff captain, Amos Diggory, almost hitting him strait on. All of a sudden a Bludger went flying past her face, she whipped around to see who it was and wasn't surprised to see Sirius grinning, waving to her. She took her bat in her hand and soared towards and on coming Bludger, and sent it flying toward Sirius. It missed Sirius but it hit the chaser, who dropped the quaffle, right into James's hands. And the games raged on, winds blasting the players. Bludgers being hit with more force than needed, Sirius and Gemini, constantly fighting with each other. Then it happened. The crowd burst into applause. Michael Lewis soared above the crowd, his hand held proudly in the air, and large smile playing on his face.
* * *
"Sirius, can't you do this somewhere else, I really don't want to hear you guys sucking at each others faces while I'm trying to write!" Gemini snapped as she sat in the common room, writing a last minute essay for potions.
"Gemini, if it really bothers you then leave, 'cause, I'm really comfortable right here" Cleo snapped, as she came up for air.
"Yea, go away" Sirius moaned, and her pulled Cleo in for another kiss, pulling her on top of him.
"Scopare voi" Gemini muttered as she picked up her ink bottle and walked over to the two of them lying on the couch, and slowly poured the ink all over them, "oops, did I do that, I'm sorry" Gemini said, sarcastically, making sure each drop of ink was shaken out.
"What the hell was that for!" Cleo shrieked, spitting out the ink that got in to her mouth
"You stole my boyfriend." Gemini simply put it "What you thought that I would leave to two alone, HA!"
"Ok, that's it" Sirius hissed dangerously, as he slid out from underneath Cleo, and stood up, his eyes flashing dangerously "you want to fight, Cielo? Come on I'm right here"
"Sorry Sirius, I don't like to see boys cry" Gemini threw over her shoulder as she walked back to her seat. Every one in the common room was now staring at the new scene unfolding in front of them.
"Oh yea" Sirius hissed as he lunged towards her.
Gemini heard him and whipped around and placed a very good right hook on Sirius jaw. "Yea"
Sirius shook it off, powered by his rage, started at her again. Soon they were rolling around on the floor. Sirius, who had some experience in wrestling, easily dominated over the boxing talents of Gemini. Everybody crowded around them, to afraid to break up the fight, because they were so violent. A first had run to get professor McGonagal. When she arrived, Sirius had Gemini in a full arm bind, and was sitting on her back. That's when Sirius went flying strait up into the air and landed on McGonagal. Gemini to rose, but more slowly, with the help of her telekinesis. She had her back to the crowd when she stood, but when she turned around she looked completely different. Her eyes were no longer light brown, but a dark and dangerous black. Her breathing was heavy, her shirt was ripped, and she had her hands in a defensive position. Everybody was speechless.
"Ms. Cielo, I think you should come with me" McGonagal said, her arm crossed over her chest.
"Why, you're just going to yell at me. You can do it right here if you want." Gemini said nonchalantly, looking at her fingernails as if this was no big deal.
"Ms Cielo!" McGonagal exclaimed, surprised at the way Gemini was acting "I will not tolerate your behavior!"
"There's a surprise" Gemini muttered, loud enough for her to hear "and while your at it, you can yell at Cleo to, this is the second time Sirius had to stand up for her, and it is making me sick. Tell her that if she cant keep her huge mouth shut, I will just have to break her jaw so she will have to"
McGonagal was furious. "You are coming with me right now Gemini!" She grabbed her arm and started to pull her out of the common room.
"What has gotten in to her? Lily asked herself as she heard her best friend yelling at professor McGonagal in the halls.
* * *
"Gemini! What has gotten in to you!" Bella demanded as Gemini strutted back into the Gryffindor common room, obviously pleased with herself
"What? They were annoying me" Gemini stated simply, sitting down in her favorite chair "besides, I only got 3 weeks of detention"
"Three weeks!" James pouted, "that's not fair! The most I've ever gotten at the same time was two"
"Well, I was supposed to get 3 months, but" Gemini raised her voice so that Cleo and Sirius could hear her " Dumbledore said I had no control over what I did, so I should not be punished as severely."
"Whatever you say Gem," Remus said grinning "you should of seen McGonagal's face, I thought she was going to explode!"
"You shouldn't of gotten her mad Gemini" Bella said, shaking her head "just think of how many points you have lost Gryffindor"
"Hey, have you forgotten who I am?" Gemini asked, looking at her friend "I'm a Cielo, remember, my heart has just been broken and they couldn't resist when I started bawling on how Sirius was killing me…" she said dramatically, but suddenly stopped and added on softly "even though it was the truth"
"Come on Gem, let's go to bed, it's been a long night and we have classes tomorrow" Lily said, pulling Gemini to her feet
"'Night guys" Gemini yawned as she, Bella, and Lily walked up to their dorm room.
* * *
"Remus?" Lily asked softly, looking at the lump on the bed "Remus get up"
"He's not going to get up!" Bella sighed, sitting down on the floor
"Oh yes he is" Lily retorted
"Remus get up now!" Lily hissed, hitting him over the head with a pillow
"Whoa I swear minister it wasn't me!" Remus muttered, sitting strait up, "oh, it's you, what do you want?" he asked when he saw the two girls next to his bed.
"Well, earlier tonight, before we fell asleep, Gemini was writing on some paper…" Bella began
"And well we got curious, so when she feel asleep we took it out of the trash and read it" Lily added on
"And you wont believe what it says" Bella finished, handing Remus the crinkled up piece of paper.
Remus looked at the paper, it was definitely Gemini's handwriting, but it said something so un-Gemini like.
"Remus, we can't let Gemini see that we have this," Lily said, snatching the letter from his hands "She will hate us forever"
"No she wont, she be mad, big deal"
"Remus, what happened the last time she got mad" Bella said
"Oh, yea. I'm sure she won't levitate you guys in the air"
"No she'll just hate us" Bella finished for him
"No she won't"
"Remus, Gemini has hated her older sister since she was five, I think she will hate us"
"Oh"
Just then they heard a snort from Sirius's bed
"You, guys better go, before Captain testosterone wakes up"
Lily snorted "Captain testosterone?"
"Remus just smiled and shook his head "I remember Gemini calling him that once"
"Good night Remus"
* * *
'Does she really feel that way, or is she just doing this to get even more attention' Sirius thought to himself 'she loves me, she wants attention, she loves me, she wants attention, she loves me… she definitely wants attention.' Sirius finally decided, as he rolled over to go back to sleep 'but what if… nah'
* * *
Gemini's eye blinked open as the morning sun poured in though her window; she sat up and looked around her room. Her two friends were still sleeping. She reluctantly got out of bed and knelt down on the floor. She peered under her bed and pulled out a book that she had been writing in. Gemini yawned as she sat down on the floor. She really wasn't a morning person. Actually she has been more of a 'I want to curl up in a ball and stay in bed all day' type of person since she and Sirius had broken up. She had to blink back the on coming tears 'no' she though fiercely 'I will not cry over that bastard'
Mischief, who had been sleeping near her head, awoke and jumped in to her lap.
'How I wish I could be like you, just being able to awake in a problem-less life' she though, stroking her cat's head. 'Awake… wait a minute'
Gemini quickly and quietly reached for her book, quill and ink and began to scribble down some words. Those words soon formed sentences, which form paragraphs, which turned in to a poem. Gemini's poem's never really made sense; she just poured out what was in her soul. She put her quill down and looked proudly at her work as she reread it.
Sirius:
The rain is falling down, as are my tears
From my place out the window, I can see you near
But you hardly know, of this fire that I burn for you
You turned away from me, to be with the one you love dear
This pain in my heart is like a hole in my soul
But I will go on, this revelation that I have
Is an awakening to me
I know that somehow I will be strong and survive
With my faith in life, I'll learn to live without you
The rain has finally stopped, as are my tears
I lay down and closed my eyes, and I dreamt of you
But the tears I cry, are not of pain but simple gladness
Because of you I've discovered that there's a beautiful person in me
You remind me of someone I used to be close to
But the memory is so very vague, this revelation that I have
Is an awakening for me
The wound in my heart shall leave a scar, that I am sure
With my faith in life, I'll learn to live without you
This love in my heart shines like a crystal embedded in my breasts
And I will go on, this revelation that I have
Has finally awakened the real me
There is a stronger person who lives so deep inside me
With my faith in love, I will not surrender like a rose blown by the wind
This dark period of my life has finally went away
I smile as I look upon, my tragic past, my tragic present
And the unknown future
This revelation will only come to me once, and never shall I have it again
And all because of you, I know that something has awakened in me...
So you see, you didn't kill me, your just woke me up. I finally realized that I was going out with an ignorant asshole that feeds off the pain of others. And I thank you for that.
She planned on sending it to Sirius, to give him the guilt trip. She couldn't stay fussed over a little thing like a break up. She had more important things to look forward to. Quidditch has become a love for her, and she wasn't going to let Sirius get in her way, even if they was in the same house, and in all of the same classes, both the beaters for the Gryffindor team and had the same friends. Gemini sighed 'this is going to be a very long school year'
* * *
Things were looking up for Gryffindor. The were in the lead for the quidditch cup, but the definitely lost the house cup after Gemini got into another fight, and Lily turned Snape's hair blonde. The end of the year approached and Sirius and Gemini were still not on speaking terms, but they would be tolerable just his once, for the quidditch cup championship.
It was a stormy, windy, gloomy day. And Gemini was enjoying every moment of it. For some reason, there was always an unexplainable excitement that over came her every time there was a storm. And this was that kind of a storm. Lightening streaked the sky, and thunder roared over head. But this didn't keep Slytherin and Gryffindor and the rest of the school from coming out to watch the game.
The two teams walked out, and mounted their brooms. They took off on the sound of the whistle. It was very hard to hear the commentary over the wind and thunder and all you could see were red and green blurs. Gemini let go of her broom and took her bat in both hands. Letting her mind guide her, she hit Bludgers left and right, making sure they would go strait towards the green blurs with a little help from her telekinesis. She saw Sirius hit a rouge Bludger and hit the Slytherin's captain Mitch Flint, square in the nose. They fought hard and the storm raged on. There were a few close calls with the lightening, but they refused to give up. Then there was a deafening roar that was heard over the thunder and the wind. Gemini whipped around, drenched to see Michael, holding his hand proudly in the air. They did it. Gryffindor won the quidditch cup. She was stunned; she didn't know what to do. She saw everybody else jet over to Michael, so she followed, but she quickly changed her course. The next moments were in slow motion. She saw Sirius start to soar to the team. Flint's hand reach out and grab the back of his brook. Sirius falling down to his death.
Nobody could get to him in time. On instinct her hand shot out and she focused all of her energy on to Sirius. She was exhausted to start with and this really wasn't helping. Sirius began to fall slower and slower until he came to a complete stop about a foot above the ground; the whole school was now on the pitch, crowding around him. Gemini was on the verge of collapsing. She let him fall, swooped down next to him where she clumsily fell off of her broom, landed on her knees, and welcomed the darkness.
* * *
Gemini moaned and opened her eyes. She winced and immediately closed them again. She was soaking wet and her head was throbbing. That day's event came rushing back into her mind. Then she realized it. The whole school saw it. They knew her secret. 'Shit'.
She may have said that last part out loud because Madame Pompfrey was at her side, trailed by her young daughter, Poppy.
"Ah, it's nice to see you awake Ms. Cielo."
"Why does my head hurt?"
"That was quite a feat out there, you mind is unbalanced. You used so much energy that you passed out, and you focused so much that your mind went in to over drive." She said as her felt her forehead. "Poppy, can you get me so psi potion please?"
"Already did mum!" the little girl said cheerfully as he handed her mother a goblet of a purple liquid
"Good" She said, taking the goblet "now Gemini, this potion will get rid of any head aches you may have ok?"
Gemini didn't have time to answer because she was already downing the potion "Does this thing have any side effects?" She asked before a feeling came over her and she feel back on her pillow, sound asleep
"It tends to make the drinker very, very sleepy" Madame Pompfrey said softly, tucking Gemini in 'I have a feeling I will be seeing a lot of this girl over the next few years'
* * *
" Good morning Gemini" A soft voice said as Gemini turned, awakening from a dreamless slumber "how are you feeling?"
Then she recognized it, Dumbledore
"A lot better thank you" Gemini replied, sitting up on her elbows "how's Sirius?"
"He been doing a lot better, he fainted on the way down. It was a good thing you saw him Gemini. Nobody noticed though all of the commotion. You saved his life" Dumbledore said with an air of respect.
Dumbledore always knew Gemini was different, but he couldn't explain it. She had an aura about her, certain energy of power. This puzzled him. He did not understand why these things would be happening to her, a muggle born, who had no sign of magical powers until she was older. He has looked though most of his books for an answer, but he was unsuccessful. But there was an Italian myth, that could have been the answer, but he dismissed it, as it could not be true.
"Is he ok?" Gemini him suddenly, springing out of bed.
"You can go ask him if you would like, I think he is getting up now" Dumbledore said softly, point to a bed on the other side of the room.
Gemini ran over to his side, completely forgetting all past arguments "Ah mio dio! Sirius, how are you feeling?" She asked him
"Better" he said not meeting her eyes
"Your still not speaking to me are you?" she demanded, staring at him.
"Actually…" he began
"I CAN'T STAND YOU Sirius! You are an ungrateful bastard. Would it kill you to say 'Thank you Gemini for saving me life' or' Gemini, I'm sorry for being a prick and I beg for your forgiveness!'" Gemini yelled, not caring who heard her.
"… I was going to say I was sorry, but after that speech, I might be having second thoughts." Sirius said, with a grin.
A smile soon covered Gemini face to as she jumped on Sirius and threw her arms around his neck. "NEVER EVER think of doing this to me again, you got that Sirius Black!"
"Yea, yea I got cha, could you please let go of my neck now?" Sirius said, in a strangle voice.
"Oops, oh yea, sorry about that" Gemini said, letting go of him, "come on lets bust outta this place, get some thing to eat, besides we just won the quidditch cup, I think that deserves some celebration"
Gemini grabbed his hand and yanked him out of bed and out of the hospital wing, being sure that Madame Pompfrey or her daughter did not see them. They hurried though the corridors, running in to some unsuspecting Hufflepuff first years. When they reached the Fat lady, they were out of breath and red in the face from laughing so much. They gave the password and bounded in to the common room, much to the surprise to every Gryffindor. Gemini and Sirius were actually talking to each other and were showing no intent on killing.
"Oh my god!" Lily yelled, running towards them, hysterical "Gem! Are you ok! And Sirius, oh my, I saw you fall, then you stopped him, then landed and passed out…" Lily said very quickly
"Whoa, Lily calm down!" Gemini said trying to calm her best friend down "were ok, I promise, I just messed up my head a bit a more than it is already." Gemini explained, knocking on her forehead with her front two knuckles "And Sirius is fine. You know how delicate he is" she mocked "he fainted on the way down, he also apologized. So all thought leading to killing each other are over with "
"Oh Sirius!" Cleo sighed dramatically, throwing herself at him "are you ok? Oh you are so brave! I was so worried" then she stopped and sneered at Gemini "what do you want?"
"Excuse me while I go throw up" Gemini snapped back at her. She was about to turn, but an evil grin spread across her face, she slowly turn back to them and walked right up to her, and got in to her face. Which was pretty hard because she was a good 7 inches sorter "Cleo, did you ever tell Sirius what happened the beginning of this year?" she hissed. " I guess not," she returned to her normal bouncy tone "Sirius, we need to talk." she grabbed his hand and pulled him away before Cleo could say anything.
* * *
"…And I just snapped. That's when you came in" Gemini explained in the corner of the common room, away from all of the gossipers' eager ears.
Sirius just stared at her. Right about now, he would be kicking his own ass if he wasn't so stunned.
"Gem, I am so sorry" he finally said "how could I ever make it up to you?"
"Be the best friend you can be" she replied "and don't mistrust me again, I hardly ever lie. You know me, if I don't like somebody, I don't bite my tongue, I tell them. And I don't like her. But I like you, and I hate not being friends with you."
"Friends?" Sirius asked, putting his hand out.
Gemini just leaned over and kissed each of his cheeks "amici"
"Now if you'll excuse me" he said, standing up "I have to dump a certain evil psycho bitch"
* * *
"Y – Y- Your B – Breaking up with ME?!" Cleo demanded, drawing attention to the two Gryffindors
"Yes, I am, would you like me to speak slower and use small words so it can go though that thick skull of yours?" Sirius asked as if he were talking to a brick wall.
"B- But why!" she shrieked
"Hmmm, If I remember correctly. Gemini told me that you were the one that was spreading the rumors about her and Remus, and you provoked her, when you knew very well of her aggressive nature" Sirius explained slowly, trying to hold back his laughter. "And seeing how she just saved my life, I trust her more than I would ever trust you. Oh wait a minute, you thought that I would still want to talk to you after this? You did? How sweet"
"I HATE YOU!" She screamed. She looked around wildly and saw her. She pushed past Sirius and started towards an unsuspecting Gemini. Lily saw this and before Cleo knew what was happening, Lily was sitting on her stomach, punching her face like there was no tomorrow.
"Get off her you little Bitch!" One of Cleo friends, Mandie screamed, and she grabbed Lily's hair, and immediately began to scratch her and pull her hair.
"Get the hell off her!" Gemini yelled, grabbing Mandie's shoulders and pulling her off Lily, "And if your going to fight, you fight like this!" And she punched her in the ribs.
Soon Bella and Cleo's other friend, Brittany were cat fighting. Lily was trying to kill Mandie and Gemini was having fun watching Cleo trying to hurt her.
"STOP IT!" McGonagal screamed, who just appeared out of no where (she had a tendency to do that) "Cielo, EVANS, FIGG, DEROSE, BRONWELL, AND TAYLOR! MY OFFICE, RIGHT NOW!" She shrieked pointing to the portrait hole, her hair all falling out of bun.
* * *
Soon Lily, Gemini, Bella, Cleo, Brittany, and Mandie were all sitting in McGonagal's office. Lily had scratch marks all over her arms and face, Bella's hair was a mess, Gemini was sitting with a big grin on her face, Cleo had a black eye and a split lip, and Mandie and Brittany both earned many bruises.
"What am I going to do with you Gemini!" McGonagal said strictly, pacing in front of the six girls. "This is about the third time you have gotten in to a fight this year. With the same girl, can't you talk things out!"
"I wasn't taught to talk things out with the person who starts the fight. I was taught that if somebody starts a fight with you, you make it so that they will never ever want to start a fight with you again. I guess that concept hasn't gotten though all of the make up and the hair spray that has seemed to form a barrier to her brain" Gemini said clearly, with a look of pure determination on her face.
"I understand that Ms. Bronwell has started the fight with you. But next time please try to get along" McGonagal pleaded
"Sorry, but as you know, I have hardly any control over some of my actions. It's not my fault that she sets me off. It's not in my nature to back down a fight." Gemini declared both in statement and threat.
"Yes, well you made that point very clear." She said, "now for the rest of you, you will all have one weeks detention. You will see me at the end of the week at the end of dinner for your assignments, you may go now." She watched the girl get up to leave, then added "Gemini, I would like to speak to you about the game"
When all of the other girls were gone McGonagal spoke "you are aware that the school knows about your gift now, so Dumbledore has asked if you would prepare a speech for the school. To let them better understand what happened. If you don't want to, I understand, but that will only cause rumors. And I think you know the consequences of rumors." She said, softening her tone "you will present it tomorrow at dinner, so I would get ready for it." When Gemini got up to leave McGonagal added in "I see that it might take you a while to do, so you are excused from all homework tonight" she said, rather strained "But only this once!" She added in very quickly and sternly as Gemini left he room.
* * *
"Excuse me?" Gemini said in front of the school at dinner then next night. "Excuse me?" she said again after she got no response "HEY! UP HERE!" she yelled, letting her impatience control her. "Thank you" she said, lowering her voice after every one in the hall was staring at her. "Hi. If you don't know me already, my name is Gemini Cielo. I am a second year, and the beater on the Gryffindor quidditch team. Yesterday, my good friend Sirius Black was pulled off his broom. He almost died. But you all probably know that part. The next part is not that easy to explain. I was able to stop him from falling to his death, with out my wand. The reason why I could do this is because I have telekinesis. Telekinesis is the movement of matter by using only one's mental powers. Some are fortunate to be born with it; others try their whole lives just to able to achieve it. Telekinesis is a fancy way to say the term 'mind over matter.' It has been guessed that we only use 4% of our entire brains. That means 96% is sitting up there wasting space. If, by some means, we are able to increase the percentage of brain usage, we gain intelligence, memory, clarity, and believe to also have more control over our mental powers -- like TK. The more of our brains we use, the more control we have over your mental abilities. It just so happens that I can tap in to the idle part of my brain, the part of the brain that controls mental powers. Now, I'm not saying that I'm smarter than you are, because I'm probably not. I'm saying that I use more of my brain that an average person does. I don't want you to feel different about me now. I don't go around, suspending people in thin air" she smile to her self when she heard Cleo cough "I just thought I owed everybody in this room an explanation. Thanks for listening to me babble for the past few minutes." She said, but she wasn't finished "And if anybody thinks of hurting one of my friends again. I will take them out. And if you run, I will hunt you down" she added. She then skipped off to the Gryffendor table, leaving the school dumbfounded.
"You know" Remus said as she sat down "we went over that speech a million times last night, and it was great, until you added that last part in."
"What? It was true. Lets see how many people are going to mess with us for now on"
"What ever you say Gem" James sighed.
* * *
"Bye Bella" Gemini said, hugging her friend. "Bye James. Bye Remus. Bye Sirius. Bye Peter." Gemini kissed each boy on each cheek in between.
"You guys are going to write each of us, like, 4 times a day, you got that!" Lily demanded, hugging each of her friends.
"You got it babe." James said playfully, winking.
Gemini and Lily hurried though the barrier and searched the crowd for any sign of Lily or Gemini parents. Then they saw them. All of them. Virgo, Stella, and Pisces Cielo, and Steven, Rose, and Petunia Evans.
"Papa! Mama!" Gemini said as she got wrapped up into her mothers' arms "how have you been!"
"Wonderful dear. Oh did you hear? Pisces got on to the Varsity Cheerleading team at her school!"
Gemini turned to look at her sister, who was looking at her with a look that she probably though was "cool"
"Peachy, now I have to deal with two cheerleaders" She muttered looking at her sister with pure hatred. "Than I guess this wouldn't be the right time to say that I won the quidditch cup, saved my friends life and got into three fights with a cheerleader this year 'cause that would just be raining on her parade, now wouldn't it?"
"That's wonderful princess" Virgo said, kissing his daughters forehead.
"Now" Rose said after letting go of her youngest daughter "we are all going out for dinner, so were going to stop at home so you girls can get changed ok?"
"Alright mum" Lily said, shooting daggers at her sister, who was bragging about her new 'friends'.
* * *
Gemini leaped towards the window as three owls approached her window. She threw it opened and in soared Bella's barn owl, muffin: Sirius owl (who was now purple) Diablo, and a black owl she has never seen before. Muffin and Diablo stuck around but the black owl dropped a roll of parchment on her bed and left just as quickly.
Gemini opened Bella's letter first.
Hey! It's me. HELP ME! Let's put it this way. I am stuck at my grandparents' house, with 20 of my cousins while my parents are on vacation in Ireland. Lucky them huh? I get to baby-sit the kids from hell. How lucky am I!
Love always
Bella
HELP ME!
"Aww, poor Bella" Gemini laughed, shaking her head. She reached over and took the letter from diablo. "What did Sirius do to you?"
