Ok… I hate this ff.net down thing! Ugh! Aight… this is a re do of 'bad dog' it is a lot longer, 17 pages, I am also redoing the summer, I don't like how they found out about Remus's werewolfishness. Ok? ok… here it is!
Il Fiore Ed Il Maschio
The Flower and The Stag
"James!" Lily yelled over the crowds of people " Can you help me please!"
Gemini and Lily went back to Lily's house when they left Remus's. They were now dragging their luggage though the muggle part of platform nine and three quarters, and having a hard time doing so.
James had just walked out of the barrier and walked over the two girls "Sure, hold up Ms. Perfects"
James was right, over the summer, when Lily and Gemini got their letter, they found that they had become perfects along with Remus, Sirius and James. Gemini knew that Lily would be one, James, Sirius and Remus two because they were smart. But Gemini wasn't brilliant. But she was extremely magical; maybe that had something to do with it.
Just then Gemini got a very sinister though. She grinned as she gave Lily a little push with her TK, just as James walked up, causing her to fall into his arms. James, startled, looked down at the blushing redhead in his arms, while she looked up at him with bright emerald green eyes.
"Sorry" Lily said quickly and James helped her up. "I must of tripped over something or," She stopped to turn around to see Gemini trying to cover up her grin, but failing miserably "GEMINI! What did you do!"
Gemini just looked at her and tried to pull of her most innocent look "Oh what ever do you mean Lily dearest? I was being ever so careful not to trip you, or let my mind wander and push you. And if I did I am ever so sorry, but that look that you two had on your faces, was ever so picture perfect." Gemini said in 'good girl' voice, with a wide grin on her face.
"Gem, are you taking lying lessons from Sirius, because you are better off the way you are before" James said, shaking his head.
"Hey, I am a very good liar!" Sirius said, as he walked through the barrier to join his friends.
"Yea Sirius, that's why every time you do something, you smile like an idiot, it's almost like you want all those detentions you have been getting." Lily said as she and James fell thought the barrier. A wicked smile spread across Gemini face as she turned slowly to her friend next to her.
"Sirius"
"Yea G"
"I have one of the most unbelievable and probably the best idea I have ever had in my life." Gemini said slowly, her eyes wide with excitement.
"Does it involve Snape, a flag pole and underwear, because I have already though of that one."
"No, but I though of that two, good one" Gemini said as she and Sirius nonchalantly leaned on the barrier and fell though. "It involves two of the most sought after people in the school, and the devious plan on how to get the most eligible bachelor,"
"Me?"
"Not you Dumbass, shut up. The most eligible bachelor, and one of the most beautiful girl in the school."
"You G? Because I think there are girls a lot prettier than you," Sirius said, than shrinking back "Please don't hit me."
"No you moron, and shut up so I can say it in full and let it have a full dramatic effect ok?"
"Aye, Aye Captain" Sirius said, saluting.
"OK… as I was saying. It involves two of the most sought after people in the school. It is my most devious plan on how to get the most eligible bachelor, not you, and the most beautiful girl, not me, in the school and how to make ever guy and girl in the school jealous."
"Wow G, I'm proud of you. You are getting more Machiavellian each year!" Sirius said, helping her with her luggage.
"I know, I am great, you don't need to tell me."
"Uh G?"
"Yea
"Who were you talking about if it wasn't you and me?" Sirius asked dimly, as they walked on to the train.
'Dumbass just smile and nod ok?"
"Whatever you sa- HEY I am not a Dumbass! I just so happen to be very smart!"
"Oh yea in what?" Gemini laughed as they joined Lily, James, Peter, and Remus in their usual compartment.
"Driving the teachers in to insanity, what else?" Sirius said with a grin as he took a seat next to James.
"This is going to be a very interesting year, isn't Mischief?" Gemini said as her mind let her cat hover in the air. Mischief meowed in response before he yawned and glided in to Gemini's open arms, getting ready for his catnap on the way to his fifth year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.
^v^v^v^
"Sirius guess what?" Gemini said one night after classes. She and her friend were sitting around doing homework, but Gemini was abnormally hyper, even for her.
"What G?"
"Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?"
"Why G?" Sirius asked.
"They were all married!" Gemini said, bursting out onto giggles.
All of her friends looked at her like she was crazy except for Sirius, who had a grin on his face.
"Gemini, have you been drinking?" Remus asked his friend, with the air of a joke in his voice, but he did a good job covering it up.
"Me? Drink? Remy! That's funny! I don't drink. But Sirius gave me this really good powder stuff."
Sirius grin fell.
Remus looked at her and said "Gemini, what was it?"
"I don't know" She burst in to giggles "But I had this really good candy inside of it."
"Inside of what?"
"This straw thing."
Remus let out a laugh and said "Padfoot gave you Pixy Stix!?"
Gemini burst in to giggles and said "Padfoot! Awww! Who's padfoot?"
"Padfoot!" Remus yelled.
Sirius grin returned as he said innocently "Yes Moony?"
"You let have sugar. What is wrong with you?" Remus said slowly as Gemini jumped on his lap.
Gemini gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "I love you … moony"
"Gemini on sugar is like somebody who just drank about an entire keg of beer. And what is with these weird nicknames?" Lily said, hitting Sirius upside the head
"I know. Look at her! Isn't it great!" Sirius smirked as he pointed to the small girl sitting on Remus's lap.
"Padfoot! Dahling!" Gemini said as she jumped off Remus and ran to Sirius. "How you doing sexy?" She said as she pulled him in to a kiss.
"I don't find anything wrong with this." Sirius said after he and Gemini stopped kissing.
"Padfoot, you can't take advantage of her like this!" James sighed as he picked up a giggling Gemini and put her on a couch.
"Yes he can. He just did" Peter said.
"No you can't, look at her!" Lily said, pointing to Gemini "She is wasted, you know she can't have sugar! And what did you do? YOU GAVE PIXY STIX!"
"A hundred to be exact. When me and Prong where in the states we picked some up, and put all of them in a bottle, she was only supposed to have a sip… but she had the whole bottle." Sirius said, realizing how long it could take for her to calm down.
"Who's Prongs?" Lily asked, becoming very suspicious of the boy's grins whenever they were called by their nicknames.
"As you probably already know, My Name is Gemini Cielo, and I am a demigoddess. Now, let me give you a scenario on what my life is all about. First off, I am 15 year old, I am single, and I live in a van down by the river!"
"She lives in a van down by the river?" Peter asked Lily
"No," Remus sighed as he walked over to an insane girl on the couch "Gemini. It's me Remus, what are you talking about?" he asked as he sat down in front of her.
At this Gemini sprang up and pushed him on his back and gave him a deep, spur of the moment kiss.
"Oh my god." James said, his mouth open in disbelief.
"Lily, come on you have to help me! Gemini is going to kill me when she come to, can you do something to maker her sober, or unconscious? Preferably the latter!" Sirius begged on his hands and knees.
Lily quickly whipped out her wand and performed a spell nobody knew of. Lily shrugged "Flitwick gave me some advanced charms to practice."
Gemini's eyes closed and opened again and she realized what she was doing. Embarrassed as anything she slowly leaned back and put a hand to her mouth, leaving Remus speechless.
"Remus, I am so sorry!" Gemini explained, her face reddening.
"It- It's ok, I know it wasn't your fault, it was Sirius's" Remus said softly.
"SIRIUS!" Gemini yelled, springing to her feet.
"Uh oh" were the last words Sirius said before he was chased out of the common room by a furious Gemini.
Sirius was chased though the halls, and out the front door and across the grounds. It was night now and it was getting hard to see. Sirius had the head start advantage over Gemini as he sprinted behind the whomping willow with a sinister grin on his face. Gemini was now not as mad as she laughed after him. But when she rounded the tree, and didn't see him there she began to get worried.
"Sirius?" Gemini yelled softly, "Sirius, where the hell are you. You're scaring me"
Then she saw it. Two eyes shining from the forbidden forest. Gemini's eyes locked with them as she moved backwards. She quickly felt for her wand as she saw the creature come out of hiding, it was a large, bear like black dog. Gemini found her wand, whipped it out, and called Diana. The light returned as fast as it left as she stood with her sword in hand. The dog started running towards her as she put her hand out and said 'stop'. Any normal dog would have obeyed her, especially if it were a wild dog. But the dog kept running towards her. Scared as all hell, Gemini stumbled back and fell to the ground and the dog jumped on to her.
"Scared ya, didn't I" Sirius said with an ear to ear grin.
Gemini opened her eyes to see Sirius sitting on her, smiling like a maniac. She pushed him off of her and glared at him. "Didn't you see that dog!" It was huge! It was…" Gemini stopped as a thought hit her, her mouth gaping open.
"Me" Sirius finished, bowing as Gemini said "You"
"Why didn't you tell me!" she cried, leaping on to him and slapping him in the face "How was the potion! Do you have everything written down? Can I see the papers! What about James and Peter! Does Lily Know!" Gemini said very quickly, her hands flying about.
"Whoa, Whoa calm down" Sirius laughed. "The potion was fine, we though it was going to blow up in our faces. But as you know me and James are brilliant." –Gemini shot him a look that 'you brilliant?"- "Ok, so James is the brilliant one, but I am still clever. That's how I became a perfect, but I'm still wondering why you became on, OW." – Gemini slapped him in the face- Yea, we have everything written down, plus something a little different that me and James started, but we need Lily's help on. Lily doesn't know yet, and James and Peter are fine."
"So that's why you guys have those nickname?" Gemini said, sitting back in disbelief. "I can't believe it. My best friend is a dog."
"That isn't the only reason." Sirius said with a wide grin on his face. "But I think Remus should tell you. He thought of it." Sirius stood up and extended his hand to Gemini. She shook her head and used her TK to float up. She stayed suspended in midair as she looked at her friend and shrugged.
"The many benefits of having telekinesis."
*-------------------*
"Lily, I want to show you something." James said softly as they sat in the common room and waited for Gemini to come back with Sirius in a headlock.
Lily looked at him and smiled "Sure."
Lily blushed slightly as he took her hands and helped her up. Thank god Gemini wasn't here to see that. She would never hear the end of it. Lily had a feeling that Gemini knew how she felt. She couldn't explain it herself. Lily had always been the boyless wonder. The entire girl population of hogwarts has had boyfriend by now, except for her. But she didn't mind much. Her and Gemini had earned a reputation of being the 'Soul Sisters'. Both Lily and Gemini had different personalities, but were so alike that it scared some people. Gemini was the strong, ruthless one with a bad temper and a strong right hook, nobody knew of her demigoddessness, but they knew she was a very magical witch. She wasn't the most beautiful girl in the school, and she knew it. It was her personality and attitude made her shine. Lily was the smart one, who would rather think up of pranks to pull on people then to just jump in there and beat them like Gemini. She was the top charm student of the school, surpassing some of the seventh years and she took great pride in it. What made Lily attractive on the other hand, was her unnatural beauty. Over the years, most the boys at hogwarts have noticed that Lily Evans was growing up. With her flowing red hair and sparkling green eyes, she could have gotten any boy she wanted. She was half the sugar, twice the spice, she didn't get as mad as easily as Gemini did, but when she did, her temper would match her hair. But Lily never had any interest in boys; it was always her and Gemini, side by side, with no time for guys. But the beginning of the year opened Lily's eyes. Boys were every where and were looking fine. Lily didn't really know what she felt for James. He was like her big brother, as Sirius was with Gemini. The two wandered down the halls as they heard familiar laughter. They rounded the corner and saw Gemini being carried on Sirius's back. When Gemini saw the two she leaped off Sirius's back as hugged James around the neck and began dancing around in circle in the hall.
"She knows, Prongs" Sirius said with a shrug.
"You told her, didn't you Padfoot? You never could keep a secret." Prongs laughed.
"No, he showed me" Gemini said letting go "Are you going to show Lily?" Gemini said excitedly, then she looked over to a blushing Lily "Oh" She said slowly "Sirius, I think we are interrupting something here. Let's go leave the two love birds alone."
"What!" James and Lily said quickly, a bit to quickly.
"Wow Prongs! Good going!" Sirius said, his trademark grin on his face "You just got the most gorgeous girl in the school!" he put his arm over his shoulder "Now let me give you a few tips" as they walked down the corridor.
When James and Sirius were out of ear shot Gemini turned to her beet red friend and said "Why didn't you tell me you like James Potter!"
Lily nervously looked around "Shh! Would you like the whole school to know?!"
"So you do?"
"I do not like James Potter!" Lily yelled, then shrinking back.
Gemini grinned as she started walking toward where the boys where headed. "Yes you do" Gemini laughed as Lily chased her down the corridor and met up with the boys.
"Sirius guess what?" Gemini shouted as they saw the boys on the grounds.
"What G?" Sirius yelled back.
"I think I forgot to do something will you help me?" Gemini said on the spot.
Sirius grinned "Sure G. than we can leave Prongs and Lily to themselves!"
"Now" Gemini said turning back to her annoyed looking friend, and began to fix her hair. "I don't want you back later than midnight, if you aren't back by midnight, I will have to send a search party. I don't want you to come back pregnant. Ow, what was that for! Oh, and don't worry! The camouflaged face at the window is mine. I'm just kidding with you. Anyway, have fun," Gemini said as she turned her around as the boys came up to them. "And remember, this can be the start of a beautiful relationship." She gave her a little push as Sirius stopped whispering excitedly to James.
Gemini and Sirius stood on the steps as they watched their two best friends walk off in to the darkness.
"My little girl is growing up!" Gemini mocked sobbed as she turned to Sirius chest.
"There, there, I gave James a few pointers, He'll be fine." Sirius said as Gemini looked up at him.
"What did you tell him?" Gemini asked gravely, with fear in her eyes.
"Don't do anything I would do." Sirius said
Gemini let of a sigh of relief as she turned to go back inside "Thank god."
"Hey! What's they supposed to mean!" Sirius whined, following her in to the castle.
"Sirius, you are probably the most horney person in the school, who had the most crushes, girlfriends, and detentions. Do we really want that rubbing off on sweet, innocent, Lily-loving James?"
"Hey, James is almost ranking with me on the detentions thing"
"What ever you say Sirius." Gemini sighed as they closed the doors. "Now lets go do that thing I had to do and you had to help me with."
"If it involves me you and a bed, I'm all for it"
"Pervert" Gemini mumbled as she shook her head and headed towards the tower
* * *
"It's eleven fifty five! Where are they!" Gemini said, mocking a worried mother as she sat and tried to keep her temper as she played chess with Remus.
"I don't know, I'm not a mind reader for crying out loud!" Peter snapped.
"Wormtail… shut up." Gemini snapped back. Gemini and Peter did not get along very well and they had their reasons. Gemini and Peter were as different as night and day. Where Gemini was strong, and potentially dangerous and extremely magical, Peter was a tagalong, who was as dangerous as a box of kittens, who was almost as magical as a rock. Where Gemini was fast and athletic, Peter was lucky that he could keep up with the boys. They had the same friends, which made matters worse. Peter couldn't understand why the guys liked her so much. She wasn't gorgeous; she was annoying, pushy, tomboyish, and she had that stupid moon mark on her forehead. Supposedly everybody in the group knew. Moony, Prongs, and Padfoot knew, but why not him! This got him ever more foul tempered around her.
Gemini just didn't get why James, Sirius, and Remus just kick him out of their little group. Really, what use did he have? He hero worshiped James and Sirius. All he did was follow them around like a sick puppy dog. It made her sick. And he was always staring at her mark, which she so lovable renamed, her destiny.
"Peter, If I have asked you once, I have asked you a million times" Gemini said slowly "STOP LOOKING AT MY DESTINY!"
At this some of Gemini chess pieces went flying and hit Remus in the head.
"Gem, we really need to work on your anger management issues, and Wormtail, don't get her mad, for your own safety" Remus sighed.
Gemini closed her eyes and returned the pieces to where they were before. She opened her eyes and shrugged "I hate when people look at me like that. And you know when I get mad things happen."
Just then the portrait hole opened and in fell James and Lily laughing hysterically. James picked lily up from the floor and began to twirl her around in circles.
"Sirius."
"Yea G."
"We are good."
Lily and James came toward where the group was sitting and plopped down on a couch.
"So, I'm guessing that the boyless wonder is no longer boyless?" Gemini asked excitedly.
"Who said that me and James are a couple?" Lily giggled, squirming when James was trying to tickle her.
"Lily, oh soul sister of mine, I think I know when my best friend is completely head over heels for one of her friends." Gemini laughed.
"I am not head over heels for Jimmy" Lily laughed but then covered her mouth.
Sirius's grin returned "Jimmy?" he fell into gales of laughter "Jimmy!"
"Aw, that is to cute!" Gemini giggled, looking at her blushing friends "So you two are an item?" Gemini asked, "Come on you can tell me, I swear I won't tell a soul until you guys are ready."
Lily looked at James then back at Gemini; she bit her lower lip, closed her eyes and nodded. A smile broke out on Gemini's face but quickly left when she heard Sirius yell. "You hear that Gryffindor! James Potter and Lily Evans are hitched! Uh oh" Sirius yelled for the whole common room to hear, but was immediately chased by Lily and James, leaving Gemini in gales of laughter.
"Excuse me Ms. Giggles, can we get back to our game?" Remus laughed as he watched Gemini lying on the floor holding her sides.
"Sure, Mr. Moony." Gemini said as she got up and sat back down at the chess table. "So, what's up with all of these nicknames?"
Gemini noticed that Peter shot Remus a death look so she sent him a look that plainly stated 'let-him-say-what-he-wants-to-say-you-piece-of-crap'
Remus leaned in and whispered "I'll tell you later"
Gemini nodded and shot Peter a satisfied smile.
"Moony, you need a girlfriend" Gemini declared as she looked at him from over the chessboard.
"No I don't" Remus said, keeping his eyes on the table.
"Yes you do" Gemini corrected him, capturing his knight.
"No, I don't" Remus said more strongly this time
"Aw come on Remus. Who would say no to you? Your smart, funny, absolutely adorable, you have the sweetest personality, and you've got this animal magnetism to you that nobody else in the school has, well not anymore, but still!"
"Yea and it's that animal that is keeping me single."
"So, take lessons from Sirius. He's never with a girl for more than a month." Gemini said as he looked at his face "You know I'm kidding with you, it's must be hard," Gemini said softly as she took his hand "Remus, I have an idea. You have to get out more. What do you say if this Christmas break, we go to… Spain or something, to get out of England, it will be fun. Please?"
Remus looked at her and smiled "Sure Gem that sound cool."
"And Remus?"
"Yea?"
"Checkmate."
?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿ ?¿
"James why do we have to be up so early!" Gemini whined as she fell on to a couch one morning.
"Because I am the new captain."
"And we have congratulated you many times, Lily has congratulated you in a way none of were able to, just let us sleep!" Sirius interrupted.
"Yea well, you know what. This is going to be out best year yet. And it is my first practice as captain." James said proudly as two more chasers walked in to the common room.
"James, has it not occurred to you that it is FOUR THIRTY in the morning!" Gemini snapped.
"Yea, I am not fully functioning until like noon." Sirius commented
"Sirius you are never fully functioning" Gemini laughed.
"Alright, everybody is here, let's go!" James said enthusiastically.
The Gryffindor quidditch team slowly got up and walked down to the quidditch pitch, complaining loudly all the way there.
As soon as they got there Gemini fell on to the ground and held her hand up and tried searching for her broom. It was pointless, she forgot exactly where she put her broom in the shed so she just took out her wand and murmured 'accio shooting star'
The broom came zooming towards her and she caught it in her hand, not bothering to get up.
"Here, I got your bat for you" Sirius said falling on the ground next to her, putting his head on her stomach.
"Thanks Sirius," Gemini yawned "How can James be so up this early, I didn't think it would be physically possible."
"Yea well you know James. He is the almighty merciless wizard of oz. What ever he wants to do, we do." Sirius said.
"Damn strait!" James said, stepping in front of his half asleep team. "Now this year, we want to dominate over all of the other teams, and if we lose to Slytherin, I will have to kill you. Now mount your brooms and let's go!"
*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*
Breakfast that day was not a good one. Dumbledore stood and announced. "I have a grave announcement to make. As I have told you earlier in the years we have a new dark lord among us. He has been quiet but now he strikes again." He waited for the whispers to calm down "His most recent attack was a muggle shopping mall, where he killed many muggles and many of our kind. I do not think he will be stopping anymore. I beg of you to keep your ears open and be alert, we know what this man is capable of and he will continue. In order for your safety, I wish you to stay at hogwarts when ever possible. As of right now this is the safest place you can be, for I will let it be known that he will not cross the threshold of my castle. Now I do not want to scare you, but I urge you to stay here on winter holiday, to insure your safety." Dumbledore said, sitting back down.
Gemini looked around at all of the scared faces of the school. Lily looked at Gemini as James held her in his arms, her eyes filled to the brim with fear and sorrow. Gemini heart was twisting, the soulless bastard that killed her family was at it again. Gemini's eyes were darkening and before she knew it she was standing up and walking to the head table. She went strait up to Dumbledore and looked him in the eye.
"I want to get rid of this bastard, let me help you. If I have these powers, I damn well want to use them for the best." Gemini said, her hands in fists.
Dumbledore looked at her and she swore that she saw a flash of relief pass his eyes. "I was hoping you would say that, and you two Mr. Potter?"
Gemini turned around to see James standing behind her. "I am ready to do anything in my power to help."
Dumbledore nodded and stood up and motioned them to follow him in to the chamber.
As the three walked in they saw a man standing in front of the fire. He slowly turned around and looked quizzically at Dumbledore.
"Moody, this is Gemini Cielo and James Potter."
"Potter…" Moody whispered, then he added in "The Potter."
"Yes sir." James said shaking his hand.
Gemini had no clue what was going on but it might have had to do with James's family history.
"Gemini Cielo, I have heard a lot about you through Dumbledore, are you sure you two want to do this, you are both major targets for Voldemort."
"Mr. Moody, let me explain. You obviously know of my connections with Voldemort if you think I am a target, but let me assure you, he will have a very hard time killing me. I want to help and put a stop to this madness that he has caused. I want to avenge my family."
"Dumbledore, I am sure potter is ready for this, but what of the girl?"
Gemini looked at him, her mouth gaping open, shocked that he didn't think she was ready.
"Trust me, I know Gemini Cielo. There is no other person fit for the job an auror than her. I know you may not think so, for her gender, but I wish that you can over look that and be able to see why she can fight in this war that we are fighting. Now Ms. Cielo you may not know exactly what is going on. You are part of a select group of witches and wizards. Soon others will be invited, like your friend Lily, who has already proven her self as an expert in charms. What I am about to ask you two to do is a very dangerous task that many men might not be able to do, but you have one advantage, and you know what it is. Mr. Moody here is going to be your guide. He will be teaching you the ways of dueling. Gemini, you have the strength and endurance of physical fighting, now it is time you use your gift to your advantage. You will be starting after winter holidays, if this is alright with you."
"Absolutely Dumbledore, you won't be disappointed."
"Good, now no one is to know of this organization, for we don't know where everybody's loyalties lie. Just let this be known to yourselves, you two are now members of the Order Of Phoenix."
James looked at Gemini as Gemini looked at James. It was hard to show which face showed more pride.
*.*
Hi Lassandra~
I know I haven't written in a while but I have been so busy lately. How is France? England is pretty good, but I can't wait to get back to Italy and see you! Guess what, I am going to Spain! Yup, Spain. I'm going with a few of my friends. I'll write when I come back!
Loves always
Gemini.
"Who ya writing to?" Sirius said, looking over the chair at her letter.
"Lassandra." Gemini said simply "one of my friends from Italy."
"Lemme see" Sirius said trying to snatch the letter away. "Wait does that say Spain? WE'RE GOING TO SPAIN!?"
"Sirius! Will you please just shut up!" Gemini hissed "Nobody knows yet!"
"Why does Lassandra get to know! Who is Lassandra? Is she hot? Is she free? Can I go out with her? Ca-"
"Sirius shut up!" Lily said smacking him upside the head, holding James's hand. "Were going to Spain?"
"Thanks Sirius" Gemini sighed "Yea, me and Remus planned it all out, winter holidays."
That's where Lily's smile fell "Wait, I thought that Dumbledore said that we should stay here for the holiday?" Lily asked timidly.
"Lily don't worry, do you really think that Voldemort is stupid enough to attack me? You saw what happened the last time he did. Remember 'Yippie yo Kiya'" She grinned as she saw a smile reach Lily's face. "And not just me, you have your boyfriend over here to. Don't worry, he doesn't know you are a muggle born. And just think of it this way, if he does anything to hurt you, I'll kill him. Besides, I don't think you are his main target as of this moment."
"Lily just think about it." James added in taking her in to his arms "You have a psychotic best friend who would die for you, and a boyfriend who would play quidditch in his underwear if anything brought us apart."
At this Lily burst out laughing "It depends, which ones?"
James bit his lip and said "Uh, my black boxers?"
"No! wrong! I like the ones with the little glowing the dark dancing teddy bears on broom sticks!"
Sirius couldn't hold it in anymore. He fell to the ground laughing hysterically.
"You two are just so cute!" Gemini said, " I wish I had a boyfriend like him." Gemini thought out loud.
She turned and looked at Remus and her smile lessened. There he was sitting by himself, well with Peter, but in Gemini's eyes Peter didn't count. Remus was always so caring. He was the only one with the patience to help out Peter with his homework. Remus deserved somebody in his life. Somebody who knew how he felt, and could care for him as much as he cared for other people. Gemini sighed as she sat down in a chair, deep in thought. She wished she could show Remus the care he deserved, but she knew she wouldn't be able to supply it. She looked at Remus and smiled. She loved him, but then of course she loved Sirius and James as well.
She was happy for Lily to find a guy as sweet as James. She didn't know why, but she felt energy from the two of them when they were together. Both were very powerful, smart and popular. Gemini smiled as she thought of how envious most of the people in the school were. Then she frowned when she though of her. Mary Sue. Mary Sue was the perky, bright, helpful Fifteen-year-old witch who hangs out with the popular Ravenclaws. Everyone likes Mary Sue, because Mary Sue is good at everything. Mary Sue is a brilliant sorceress, a helpful friend, a good leader, a cunning and skilled dueler, and is stunningly beautiful. Gemini hated her. Not for that, that made her sick, but because as soon as Lily and James have become a couple, she has taken a sudden likening to him. In each of the classes they shared with Ravenclaw, Mary Sue always volunteered to work with James. If Gemini heard her say, "Oh, I will work with James Professor Trelawney." One more time she would make her fall flat on her face.
"Gemini are you alright?" Lily asked.
"Wha oh yea, I'm fine. Why?" Gemini asked snapping out of her trance.
"Well, for one thing your eyes were turning black and the next is that Sirius is talking to you." Lily laughed.
"Oh, what Sirius?"
"I was going to ask you if this Lassandra girl is free." Sirius asked excitedly.
Gemini rolled her eyes. "Sirius, do you like divination?"
"Hell no."
"Than you wouldn't like her, she is a seer." Gemini said "she has black hair, black eyes, and reads tarot cards, she's sweet and innocent and she doesn't sound like a Sirius kinda girl." Gemini grinned
"Damn."
"Guys, let's go. Divination." Remus sighed, picking up his bag. "Come on, none of us can afford being late, again especially you Sirius."
"You right." Gemini said as she picked up her bag. "Come on you two" Gemini laughed as she pulled Lily and James apart. "Come on James, Lily has to go be smart and play around with numbers. Beside you have a date with the quack."

"Today we will be going over the signs of love in the crystal ball." Trelawney purred looking at her class. "Please, work in groups of two."
Gemini looked around the room and saw Mary Sue stand up and start walking over to James. Acting quickly Gemini shouted, "Prongs, work with me?"
"Sure Gem."
Gemini grinned at Mary Sue as she glared at her. But just to make her point be known she tripped her with her TK. Mary Sue looked at her before being help up by four guys. Gemini just smiled innocently and waved before going to sit down with James at his table.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you." James laughed
"Me?" Gemini said in mock shock "How dare you even think that I normal, average, plain everyday Gemini would do that to Miss High and Mighty, Miss 'Hey You Get Off Of My Cloud' Mary Sue! I am offended! That was pretty good touch huh?"
"Absolutely smashing darling," Sirius said from his spot at the next table with Peter. "But since where you normal?"
"That was mean." Peter snapped "How could you do that to her!"
Gemini just gawked at him, like he was singing it's raining men in his underwear while doing the hustle. "Peter, do you have a thing for blondes! I mean really you sided with the twins from hell over there." Gemini said jerking her head over to Kai and Moana who were chatting with Mary Sue and her friend. "And Mary Sue is just literally the Polaroid of perfection huh? Blonde hair, blue eyes, boobs the size of what? Watermelons and she's as skinny as a stick. Honestly Peter can you be more superficial!" Gemini said, turning around and crossing her arms over her chest, staring in to the crystal ball with her narrow eyes. "What are you looking at!" Gemini snapped at two Ravenclaws who were looking at her like she was insane. "Come on James, let's get this over with."
"Ok… what do you see?" James said.
"I see a lot of swirling white stuff, of great, my love life is going to be full of swirling white stuff. Peachy!" Gemini said throwing her hands up in the air, drawing attention to them. Everyone could see that Gemini was not having one of her good days.
"Look deeper into the ball My dear." Trelawney said, swooping over them. "What do you see?"
"Hmm, oh I see a dark tall and handsome guy" Gemini said rolling her eyes, then decided to make the best of this class and make some stuff up. "Yes, me and him are riding on something. Now it has changed, there are two young girls, looking at two guys, they hook up happily ever after the end, oh but wait! THE GRIM!" the entire class hushed as they began to draw around Gemini and James. "Yes the grim, he is standing there, looking at us. I am falling … SPLAT!" the entire class jumped back when Gemini yelled the last word. Gemini looked up at Trelawney who was white in the face 'Looks like my love life is headed on the right track, isn't it."
"O- ok class" Trelawney said straitening up "Back to your crystal balls. NOW!"
Every body slowly made their way back to their seats.
Gemini looked over at her friends with a wide smile on her face, but it immediately fell when she saw Sirius's face.
"Sirius, what wrong?" she said, looking at him intently.
"That was amazing! How did you know that!" Sirius said in awe
"What do you mean, how did I know that?" Gemini asked him, wondering if he was all right.
"Wait, you just made that up?"
"Yea, why, Sirius what is wrong tell me."
Sirius looked at James "Did you tell her?"
James looked at him and shook his head, his eyes full of confusion "No I swear, I didn't tell a soul,"
"Sirius what is wrong!" Gemini demanded again.
Sirius looked at her with a weird look in his eye "the whole falling off the broom thing. I dreamt that last night."
*.*
"James did you find out anything on your love life?" Lily asked as they met up with them.
"Well let's see, every time Trelawney would pass us, she looked like she was going to start crying. That just made me so reassured." James said, taking Lily's hand.
"So Gem, did you guys create mass chaos?" Lily laughed as they headed toward DADA.
A grin returned to Gemini face as she proudly said "I made Mary Sue fall flat on her face, scared half the class to death, Sirius and James played catch with one of the crystal balls, broke it, Peter sat there like a moron and Mary Sue was absolutely perfect."
"Gemini what do you have against her?" Lily said as they headed into the classroom, "I mean I bet she is really nice."
"Lily, she want's your boyfriend, I bet she's just peachy." Gemini said as they sat down in the second to last row, the boy directly behind them. Gemini turned around and said to Sirius "Wanna do me a favor?"
"Does it involve creating havoc among my fellow students"
"Hell yea"
"Bring it on."
"Well it involves water balloons, a camera and two twin mermaids."
"That is evil." James commented "I'm proud of you."
"This way I can prove them to be mermaids, beside I want to boost my self esteem through the roof." Gemini said, as she leaned back on her chair and put her feet on the desk. She then fell back in the chair and landed in a thud on the floor "Correction" she said as the class cracked up laughing, " I need to boost my self esteem." She lifted her self up with her TK and then picked up the chair by herself.
"Well miss Cielo. If you are done can I please start today lesson?" Yesner drawled, looking over glasses that took up most of her face.
"Oh yes, Professor Yesner. You have my permission to start class, knock your socks off!"
Yesner narrowed her eyes and hissed "Cielo… detention"
Gemini pouted as she returned to her seat. "I was only answering you question."
"Now today we will be working on…" Yesner began in her nasally voice.
Sirius yawned and rolled his eyes. He looked over at Snape who was sitting in front of Gemini and Lily, listening like a good suck up should. Gemini was whispering to Lily and both were absorbed in silent giggles. He looked next to him and saw Prongs trying to carve "J.P + L.E", Moony was catching up on sleep, Peter was trying to takes as many notes as he could, he was close to failing and as much as he knew he needed Gemini's help, he refused to ask. Bored as he was he shoved his hands in his pockets and his face lit up like a little boy in a candy shop. He had one more dungbomb. He smiled as he looked around the room. He couldn't do one of the guys. Or Lily, James would kill him, he wouldn't dare do it to Gemini, she would kill him, and he would probably never be able to have kids. Now Snape on the other hand, he would take the detention just to see the look in his face. When Yesners back was turned he crawled under the table and sat on Gemini's lap. Gemini gave a soft cry as Sirius weight fell on to her lap. Sirius hand shot on and covered her mouth as his other hand shook the dumgbomb in her face and pointed to Snape. Gemini bit his hand and pointed to her lap. Sirius grinned sheepishly. He was a lot bigger than Gemini, who was still the smallest 5th year in the school. He pushed her over sat next to her. Yesner left to go get something from her personal storage and Sirius took this as the perfect opportunity to slowly reach forward and put the dungbomb down his back. Little did he know that at the same time James reached forward and put and dungbomb down Sirius back. Sirius hurried back to his seat as Yesner came back in to the room.
"One… two… three." Sirius whispered as both dungbombs exploded.
Snape flew up into the air and let out a shriek. Then turned around to see 6 hysterical Gryffindors. Sirius was rolling around on the floor, from the result of his prank, and the fact James planted one on him as well.
"Professor Yesner!" Snape whined. "Look at what these trouble makers did!" he said pointing to Sirius.
Yesner nodded and looked at the Gryffindors. "Ok… I am giving you all one chance. Who did it."
"Professor Yesner you will not believe what happened! This man, I have no clue who he was, scared the crap out of me he did! We'll he came running in and he put a dung bomb in me and Snape's robes. And ya know what, I thought it was hilarious so I didn't say a word. He didn't have any shoes on that why you don't see any foot prints, and he ran in here and ran out as fast as anything." Sirius said, trying to keep a strait face, but failing horribly.
"Mr. Black" Yesner said slowly, "Do you really want me to believe that?"
"Yea I was hoping that." Sirius said, grinning, "I'm getting a detention aren't I?"
"Yes you are Mr. Black." Yesner said as she smiled, exposing her yellow teeth, "and don't think that you are going to be with you little girlfriend Gemini here."
"Excuse me but I am not his girlfriend" Gemini said "Just thought you should know, you know, get your facts right."
Gemini found it really annoying when people called her Sirius Blacks girlfriend. It has been three years since she went out with him, and people where still talking about it. 'Oh her? That's Sirius blacks old girl friend.' She hated it so she made sure to correct anybody.
"You know what girl, I can have that perfect badge" –Yesner stabbed it with her finger- "taken away from you in a heart beat."
"Excuse me!" Gemini said in an exasperated and annoyed voice "but I don't think that Dumbledore would take this badge away from me, besides didn't you hear of what I did to the last potions master who got me upset?" Gemini watched as Yesners face fell "I see you have, now I have a suspicion that you would like to lecture us on how much us Gryffindors suck at potions so please proceed with class." Gemini said in a threatening tone.
Yesner glared at her and turned around and hobbled back to her desk, where she then proceeded to tell the class how horrible the Gryffindors were in potions and how perfect the Slytherins where.
Peter leaned in a said softly to Gemini "You know, that mouth of yours is going to get you killed one of these days."
Gemini turned around and whispered her eyes already hinting an identity crisis "Well you know what Petey, if you keep threatening me like this I am going to kill you one of these days." Gemini smiled evilly as she turned around with a satisfied look on her face, even though the room smelt the disgusting, yet familiar smell of dungbombs.
