Sorry if this one seems rushed, but my limo is going to be here in 15 minutes to bring me to the airport and I really wanted to get this posted! Remember I won't be here for a week, so I'll have lots of time to write. Now let me explain the next professor. The only person who would know how bad she was is Lisa. She was my 8th grade English teacher and she hated me, she tried to get me suspended I think 6 times for wearing 'inappropriate' clothes. Lets put it this was, I'm not a slut, I wear sweat pants and tanks tops all year round, not like the other 99.9 % of the people in my school who wear mini skirt and shorts that go strait up their ass and bra's to school. So just keep that in mind.
La Sfera Di Yule
The Yule Ball
"GEMINI!" Lily screamed as Gemini fell out of her fireplace with Mischief in her arms.
"LILY!" Gemini exclaimed dropping a very dizzy Mischief and hugging her best friend.
"How was your summer?" Lily asked Gemini as she pulled her to the couch.
"Oh it was great!" Gemini said as she began to tell her all about Lassandra and her sister, Tony's son, and Angolo Della Strega.
"That is amazing!" Lily said in awe," I wish I was there"
"Lily, You can come next year with me, it's no problem." Gemini said.
"Girls!" Mrs. Stevens yelled from the front door "It's time to go!"
"Come on Gemini, you are not going to believe what happened to the group"
* * *
Gemini, Lily, Bella, Peter, Sirius, Remus, and James were all sitting in their usual compartment on their way to their fourth year at hogwarts. And when Lily said there were changes in the group, she wasn't lying. Over the summer Bella became boy crazy and Lily suddenly toughened up. Maybe the treatment she got from Petunia she had to take care of herself. James, Peter and Sirius's eyes suddenly opened up; Girls… they were everywhere. But Remus never took an interest in girls.
"So Sirius how was your summer?" Gemini asked him while she sat upside down on the chair, letting mischief play with her hair.
"It was great," Sirius said with a huge smile on his face "Me and James blew up his shed, then we tried to make lunch, but the cake batter splattered all over the kitchen. Then we played quidditch. But it was like midnight, and it was dark. And I fell of my broom and fell in a tree. I couldn't get out because my broom fell out of the tree and James wasn't really a big help because he fell of his broom from laughing so hard and fell in to the tree next to mine and his broom fell on the ground to. And neither of us had our wands so we had to wait until his parents realized that the house was to quiet and to come looking for us. When they did they would not help us out of the trees so we had to stay there for two days. They gave us food though. But you had no idea how bad I had to go to the bathroom!" Sirius rambled.
Gemini just stared at him. She had never seen anybody talk so fast with out stopping for breath.
"Really Sirius" Gemini said, still shocked "That's… nice"
"So did you guys hear?" Remus said, "Were getting a new potions professor."
At this Gemini blushed slightly.
"I hope she is smart enough not to get Gemini mad" Sirius joked, punching his friend on her shoulder
"Sirius do you remember that bet I made with you the beginning of last year?" James asked, his grin returning "You know the one about the 10 galleons"
Sirius smile instantly fell "No"
" I do." Lily said "You and James made a bet on whether Gemini could be good or not. And Gemini was not good"
"Hey! It wasn't my fault I was bad!" Gemini said quickly, but then wished she didn't.
"What do you mean it wasn't your fault?" Peter asked.
"Never mind" Gemini muttered, burying her nose in one of her schoolbooks. 'This is going to be a long year'
* * *
Gemini walked in to hogwarts of a very bad sugar high. She and Sirius bet each other on how many chocolate frogs they could eat at one sitting. Gemini lost, but she was still really hyper. She sat down in between Lily and Remus. And began to tap her finger on the table to the tune of 'Lazy Mary' by Lou Monte. Remus put his hands over her fingers and gave her a look when the sorting started. Gemini got bored, very quickly. She tried to count the stars but gave up around 10. 'Why are there so many bloody first years! We said bloody again, god we're turning even more British each day.' Gemini was about to nod off to sleep when Dumbledore stood up.
"This year we are fortunate enough to have two new fourth years," Dumbledore said as Gemini head jerked up. "Will Kai and Moana
Kahakai please come up?"
Everybody's head's turned to the doors of the entrance hall as two girls, twins, walked in. The girls had sun bleached blonde hair, sea green eyes, and deep tans. They walked past the Gryffindor table and Lily had to put James's chin back up. He was hooked.
McGonagal than said "Kai Kahakai"
The girl nodded and put the sorting on her head. After about 15 seconds the hat screamed 'GRYFFINDOR'
Kai removed that hat and waited for her sister to be sorted.
"Moana Kahakai" McGonagal announced.
Moana also put the hat on her head and waited just as long as her sister before the hat screamed out 'GRYFFENDOR'.
The two girls smiled and walked over to a cheering Gryffindor table. James was trying to push Lily over at the same time Sirius was trying to push Gemini over causing the girls to fall to the ground. The Kahakai sisters walked up to them as Gemini was helping Lily up.
"Aloha" Both girls said in a mesmerizing voice.
James and Sirius looked the girls up and down before replying "A – Lo – Ha"
"Are these seats taken?" Moana asked, not waiting for answer as she sat down in Gemini seat and Kai sat down in Lily's."
"Bitch." Gemini said as she helped Lily up.
"Tell me about it" Lily added in, then turning to Kai and Moana. "Excuse me, but do you mind? Those were our seats."
"Yea, unless you were to thick to notice?" Gemini thought out loud.
"Miss Cielo" McGonagal warned from across the room. "I recommend you find a seat so that we can start the feast"
"Gotcha Professor" Gemini said as she and Lily went to go find seats. Bella moved over and sat with Lily and Gemini sat down on Remus lap.
"Ok, we got seats professor, you can start the feast now!" Lily announced winking at a grinning Gemini.
The feast stared of rocky with Gemini shooting daggers at Moana and Kai but by the end Gemini ended up eating most of Remus's dinner (they shared a plate) and completely forgot about what difficulties happened with the twins earlier. Too bad the day was not over yet.
* * *
"No, no, no" Gemini said with her hands on her hips "That bed is my bed"
Gemini walked in to the dorm after saying goodnight to the guys to find Kai putting her stuff on her bed.
"Does it have your name on it?" Kai snapped "Because if it does I can't see it."
Gemini grinned evilly and replied "Yes, it does would you like to see it?" Gemini walked across the room and opened her trunk. She pulled out her Black enhancement cloak and threw it on. Then she added on after seeing the look she was getting from the twins "yes, this is legal, I am allowed to have this cloak, my guardian gave it to me" Gemini hissed, her eyes hinting an identity crisis. Gemini rose her hand and the bed along with it. The bed turned in the air as she flicked wrist. And there on the back on the headboard were the words. 'Gemini Cielo, Lily Evans, and Bella Figg. Best Friends forever.' Gemini grinned as Kai's face fell. Gemini put the bed back and jumped on it. "As I said, this is my bed. Besides" Gemini added in "I think I deserve this bed because the moon shines on it."
"Why do you think that you are so special?" Moana asked rudely, putting her stuff away,
"My mother always said I was special." Gemini said with a deadly undertone, but then changed to a saddened tone "or at least she use to."
* * *
It was their first day in potions and Gemini had to be there first. She wanted to see this new professor and how he sized up. Soon the rest of the class was coming in, waiting for their new teacher. Five minutes passed by before she walked in to the classroom. Gemini had to stifle a laugh when she saw what she looked like. She had short curly gray hair, glasses that took up her entire face, a hunched back, and a HUGE butt.
She walked to the desk as the class whispered to each other. When she reached the desk she picked up something that looked like a stick from her bag and slammed it on the table. The class was immediately silenced.
The old bat looked around the room though narrow eyes. "My names is Professor Yesner and-" She was cut off by Sirius.
"Can I call you professor Noner?" Sirius asked stupidly.
Yesner glared at him and she hobbled over. She but her hands on his and Gemini's desk and leaned down and stared him in the eye. "What is your name?" she hissed, sending her fowl breath in to Sirius face.
After he made a face he answered "Sirius, Sirius Black"
"Well Mr. Black" Yesner said grinning, exposing her nasty teeth "You have earned your self a detention"
Sirius looked ecstatic. "Did you hear that!" Sirius said turning to Gemini and giving her a high five "I got my first detention!"
Yesner sneered then snapped "You, Girl stand up!"
Gemini obeyed and slowly stood up. "Yea?"
"Those robes you are wearing are unacceptable for this class" Yesner said.
Gemini just stared at her. "There plain black school robes. How are they unacceptable?"
"They are to revealing. Why are they not the same robes that every other person in this room is wearing." Yesner scoffed
"They wouldn't be. They are Italian," Gemini said spinning around in her spot "Do you like them? I don't think they would have your size though." Gemini grinned
Yesner stared at her in disbelief. "Who do you think you are?"
"I think I am a girl who is merely answering your question, if you would like to know my name, it is Gemini Cielo"
"Well Ms. Cielo, you can join your friend Sirius at detention and you will get a note sent home to your parents"
Gemini stared her in the eye, daring her to challenge her "I don't have parents. They were killed last year. But you can send a letter to Antonio Balboa if you want. Would you like his address?"
Yesner narrowed her eyes and whipped around. She returned to the front of the class and began to lecture the students on proper conduct in her class. Gemini winked at Sirius. She was going to have fun with this teacher.
* * *
At breakfast the next day, Gemini held the red envelope with trembling fingers. "Oh no"
"Just open it Gemini. Do yours first" Sirius said quickly as he saw the family owl soaring towards him with a red envelope in it's talons.
"Ok" Gemini said cautiously as she held out the envelope with one hand and ripped it open and she cringed when she heard the first words.
"GEMINI DIANA CIELO CHE COSA IO VI HA DETTO! VI HO DETTO CHE OTTENERE SOLTANTO DENTRO AD UNA LOTTA SE QUALCUNO LA INIZIASSE. QUANDO LA I SIAD QUALCUNO IO NON HA SIGNIFICATO UN PROFESSORE! Still, I am proud of you that you did not take her head off; I can give you that much. Now Gemini please do try to be good. Even if you're not, try! Much love. Tony"
Gemini grinned, she knew Tony would never yell at her, "Come on Sirius open yours, join the party!"
"SIRIUS ZANDER BLACK. IT IS ONLY THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND YOU ARE ALREADY GETTING IN TO TROUBLE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? DO YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN AS ONE OF HOGWARTS BIGGEST TROUBLEMAKERS! NO SON OF MINE IS GOING TO BE THAT I ASSURE YOU. ONE MORE TOE OUT OF LINE AND I WILL FLY DOWN TO THE SCHOOL MY SELF AND DRAG YOU HOME BY YOUR EARS! YOU GOT THAT! GOOD. LOVE ALWAYS. MUMMY."
Gemini silently thanks the gods that hers was partly in Italian. She felt so bad for Sirius. She though of asking him is he was all right, but Kai already though of that as she sat down on his lap and whispered in to his ear. "Bitch" Gemini whispered as she turned back to her oatmeal.
* * *
Gemini hated them. It was only the second month of school, but she hated them ore than she ever hated somebody, except for Voldemort. She knew something was different about them, but she couldn't place it, it was something inhuman about them. But that wasn't why she hated them. Kai and Moana were hanging out with her friends. Hitting on two of her best guy friends. And they liked making her life a living hell behind Lily and the rest of the gang's backs. But Gemini wouldn't let this affect her. Gemini was a Cielo, the last Cielo at that. The heiress of Diana. These two Hawaiian girls shouldn't be affecting her. But they were. They took her best friend. Lily was suddenly not talking to Gemini. She said something about Gemini telling off the girls, which did not happen. When Lily left, Bella followed. Gemini couldn't understand it. Now she knew how they felt last year. At least they had each other. All Gemini had where her two personalities and Lassandra, who was thousand of miles away. Not to mention that Yesner tried to get her suspended each day for her robes. Gemini hated her life. Gemini hated every one. Well almost everyone.
But what really scared her was the fact that Severus Snape was being nice to her. Yesner paired her up with him for lab partners as she began to see a side of him that she never saw before. They talked in secret, sending notes to each other. Since nobody from Gryffindor would talk to Gemini now, he was all she had. And when he asked her to the Yule ball. She couldn't say no.
* * *
Lassandra~
Hey, how is France? Anybody special over there? Remember when you made me promise you details? Well here they are. I'm going with Severus Snape. I really don't know what I see in him, but he talks to me. Things have certainly changed around here. None of my old friends will talk to me any more. But I got to be strong right? Right. I have to uphold my family honor and bitching and moaning over two bimbos is not going to help. Well in my next letter you will get pictures! Love Always.
Gemini.
Gemini sighed as she folded up the letter and tied it to one of the hogwarts owls. Lassandra was the only friend she had left. She was about to send it out but stopped when she heard voices coming from outside. She quickly moved to the side of the window and peered out side where she saw Kai, Moana, James and Sirius were walking across the grounds. She knew she shouldn't be listening, but she did anyway. She watched them cross the grounds and stop by the lake. The twins sat Sirius and James down, but they remained standing. Then Gemini heard the most beautiful sound she has ever heard in her entire life. The twins were singing. It made her want to jump out the window to get to them. She had to control herself. They continued singing and Gemini noticed that James and Sirius were all over them. Gemini turned away and covered her ears, trying to block out the music. Then it stopped just as suddenly as it started. Gemini quickly searched for quill and ink in her bag. She reopened her letter to quickly add in 'Lassandra do me a favor, find anything you can about control by singing. Ok?'
* * *
It was the night of the Yule ball and Gemini was having second thoughts about going. Her dress robes where laid out on her bed, along with a pair of dress sandals and her make up. Gemini sat in a fetal position on her bed while all of the other girls ran about, doing their thing. Gemini just stared at her dress, rocking back and forth. She has been acting very depressed lately. She has lost a lot of weight, and hardly talked to anyone. She snapped out of her trance when she heard a tap at the glass. Gemini sprang up and opened the window and in flew Lassandra's Owl. Luna perched on Gemini's shoulder as she dropped at letter on her lap. Gemini greedily opened it and out fell a necklace with a gold 'G' hanging from it. There was a note. 'Thought you would like it. I was it in a shop near my school and had to get it for you!'
"Aw, Lassandra" Gemini whispered as she put the neck and read the contents.
"Gemini~
Hey. Don't let those girls get you down. You can beat them, Just don't let them see you weakness and you'll do fine. I looked up controlling by singing thing for you. The only results I could find where mind control, love potions, which can be triggered by singing and mermaids. I don't know why you needed it, but I don't think it is good, so be careful. And if they piss you off, do what I do. Meditate, it helps, a lot. Now get ready for that ball and knock his socks off!
Lots of love
Lassandra.
Gemini grinned evilly. That was it. She knew what was up with those girls, and she had to prove it one way or another. She quickly pocketed the letter and began to get ready for the Yule ball, making sure that she would blow Severus's mind and kick the twin's asses.
* * *
"Oh my god" Gemini said softly as she saw Severus in the entrance hall. He looked completely different. He had cut his hair. It even looked like he washed it. "Severus?" Gemini asked, touching his arm.
"Gemini" He said smiling. It was a true smile. It really made the difference. It lit up his whole face, making him look like the schoolboy he was supposed to be. "You look beautiful"
"As do you" Gemini said in awe. "You want to go in a cause a few heart attacks?" Gemini said, interlacing her fingers with his.
They walked in to the great hall and heard all of the gasps of the students. It wasn't every day that you saw rivals going to a ball together. The walked through the crowds of people until they found empty seats. But as soon as she saw who saw sitting next to those seats, she immediately made a beeline away from them, but then changed her mind and dragged Severus over to the two empty seats. She sat down next to Sirius, completely ignoring him.
Kai saw this and went over to Sirius, her date, and said "Si, you wanna go show these guys how real people dance?" She said seductively, pulling him up.
"Hell yea" He replied following her out on to the dance floor.
"Come on James" Moana followed, dragging James pout with her.
Severus saw the quick expression change on Gemini face. Happy, Pissed of, then back to happy again. "Gem, I say you and me go out there and show those whores how us Europeans like it" Severus said with a glint in his eye.
Gemini smiled and accepted his hand and she and Severus walked out to the dance floor as a slow song came on. She wrapped her arms around his neck and she wrapped his arms around her small frame. Severus slowly guided them towards where Moana and Kai where dancing. Sirius glared at Gemini as they passed and Gemini gave him a little wave. Kai saw this and grabbed Sirius face and kissed him slowly, bringing a smile to his face. 'Oh yea, watch this Kai' Gemini stared in to Severus black eyes, put a finger up to his lips, lifted her self up to his eye level, and pulled him in to a deep, passionate kiss. Gemini suddenly felt weightless, her mind was clouding over, and it was everything she could have asked for. He was like a beginner, shy, not opening his mouth as much. But when she bit his bottom lip to ask for access, he gave it to her. It was the most unbelievable kiss she had ever shared with anybody before. Her lungs were burning for air, she was becoming lightheaded and the only thing she was thinking of was someway to keep kissing him. When they stopped kissing Gemini was, for the first time in her life, speechless. Severus to looked out of breath as he stared at the small girl in his arms. He then saw that he was holding her up, that her mind gave up a long time ago and gently set her down. Gemini smiled up at him, not noticing the looks everybody was giving them. Gemini glanced over to see a very jealous looking Kai and a very furious Sirius.
"Come on" Gemini said softly "Let's get out of here" She grabbed his hand and guided him though the crowds of student and out side in to the garden, where they burst out laughing.
"Di- did you see their faces!" Gemini gasped as she plopped down on the floor.
"Yea, I don't think I have even seen Black so mad before!" Severus laughed as he took a seat next to her. "God, I wish I had a picture of that."
"You will be wishing a lot more when I'm done with you Snape," A deadly voice said from behind a rose bush.
On reflex, Gemini's front hand shot up and her back hand reached for her wand. Severus moved in front of Gemini, his wand in front of him "Show your self"
Out of the shadows stepped Sirius with Kai at his arm.
"Well, well, well look who it is. Snape and the Slytherin supporter." Sirius said in a deathly tone.
"Well at least I don't take whores to a ball" Snape shot back in defense.
"Wizard duel, right now" Sirius hissed his wand out in front of him.
"STOP IT" Gemini, yelled, "you are both acting like children!"
"Gemini, stay out of this" Severus said and Sirius yelled "Shut the hell up"
Gemini couldn't stand it. She took her body and stepped in-between them. "Now you will have to hit me" Gemini said to the both of them "Go on Sirius, you know you want to. Hit me Sirius! I am telling you to hit me!" Gemini yelled "go right ahead, use the killing curse. Come on" Gemini screamed pointing to her heart "right here Sirius. You know you want to. To get the little bitch out of you life." Gemini was now shaking, her eyes flashing "And you Severus, I thought you would be adult enough to ignore him!" She turned back to Sirius and hissed "I should of died along with my family than to be around the likes of you" than she took off, leaving Sirius and Severus shocked, but Kai with a huge grin on her face.
Gemini ran. She wanted to die. She wanted no part of this life. She wanted to be with her family. She ran some more. She looked up at the sky. The full moon. She smiled a twisted smile and changed course, sprinting as fast as she could toward the whomping willow. When she got there she put a hand out and stopped the branches with her TK. She ran in to the tunnel, smiling more and more as she reached the end. She heard him. Remus, in werewolf form, ripping apart the room. She entered the house and yelled "Finnish me off Remus, I'm right here!"
She instantly regretted the idea as soon as she saw the monster on the other side of the room growling and snarling. She reached for her wand and brought in front of her as the beast came barreling towards her.
Sorry for the cliffie! Thanks to all those who reviewed!
