Visions
"Lassandra!" Gemini cried as she dropped her bags and ran to her Italian friend as soon as she got back from Kings Cross Station.
"Gemini!" Lassandra laughed as the two kissed each other's cheek (in a non-homosexual way of course.). "How have you been! It's been so long!"
"Amazing." Gemini said, a twinkle in her eye, "and I plan to tell you all about it." Gemini turned behind her and looked at Tony, a grin on her lips, "Do you mind if I go out for a few hours? You know, Girl time?"
Tony laughed and pulled out his wallet. "Here." He reached in and handed Gemini a few paper bills, "Happy birthday Gemini."
Gemini smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek before taking the money. "Thank you." She turned on her heel, grabbed her bag, linked her arms with Lassandra's and the two rushed out the door.

"So that's who Remus is." Lassandra said in awe, a picture of Remus with Gemini on his back in her hand. "Why do you always get the cute ones."
Gemini scoffed before taking a sip of her expresso, "What do you mean I always get the cute ones? Remus is the first decent boyfriend I've had. I mean he is adorable, but now my ex-boyfriend, Sirius, has the entire girl population of hogwarts wanting him."
"Oh, is he the one with the black hair and gray eyes?" Lassandra giggled.
Gemini just sighed and rolled her eyes, "Oh no, not you to? Ah Mia Dea, alright, you want to meet him?"
Lassandra put down her cup and looked up at Gemini in awe, "are you serious?"
"Absolutely." Gemini said a smile coming to her face, "Come on." She said suddenly, standing up and putting a few bills on the table.
"Where are we going?" Lassandra asked as she scrambled to catch up with Gemini who was almost out the door.
"Shopping, if we are going to go England, we must go in style, am I right?" Gemini said with a mischievous grin and she headed out of the door, leaving Lassandra speechless.
When she finally regained speech she ran out the door and found Gemini out side waiting for her.
"What do you mean go to England?" Lassandra asked, "We can't go to England!"
"I use to live in England 'Andra, it'll be fine." Gemini said nonchalantly as she began to walk down the crowded street.
"But were are we going to stay!" Lassandra exclaimed still following a stubborn Gemini.
"The leaky Cauldron." Gemini said turning around, "It is an inn of our kind."
"Oh," Lassandra said calming down.
"And we can stay on Diagon alley, another street of our kind, nothing is going to happen to us there, it'll be fine. Trust me… nobody really want to mess with us, well except for a few people but they don't count."
Lassandra nodded and soon became excited about it. "Do you think my father will let me go?"
"How about this, go home and ask, I have to get home anyway, send Luna over with the response."
"But what if he says no?"
Gemini smiled and told her in a low voice, "if he says no, tell him that you are going with me." Gemini looked up at her long bangs, which fell over her forehead and her eyes and blew up, not thinking of what she was about to expose.
"Huh?" Lassandra asked her, she looked at a grinning Gemini for a few moments before whispering, "Oh my god. It's you.'
"What?" Gemini asked her, seeming a bit worried.
"When I first went to Nostradamus, I had a vision. That a girl came from the moon and when she got to earth a bright light was emitted from her head. Of course it was abstract, for I didn't know how to refine my visions yet but still I told my teacher of it, and of the old myth, but she took nothing of it for it is a French school. But now I see it. It was you. You are her." Lassandra said slowly. Tears of understanding welling up in her eyes.
"Lassandra, you are amazing." Gemini whispered, hugging her once more, "tell that to your father, he is bound to let you go now."
"Yea, right. I'll see you in a bit!" Lassandra said excitedly as she ran down the crowded sidewalk and out of sight.
Gemini smiled and ran a hand thorough her chin length bangs to cover her crescent mark again. Another person knew… but this person knew before she did that she was the one.
She sighed as she turned on her heel and began the walk back to her house to get ready to pack once against o her trip back to England.

"B-But Mr. Scrofani Listen!" Gemini pleaded with Lassandra's father at Lassandra house letter that day.
"No daughter of mine is going to go to England with that man mad on the loose. No way in hell." Mr. Scrofani declared, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yes, well I know that mad man very well and I know that he is not stupid enough to go and try to hurt me, and as long as Lassandra is with me, then nothing bad will happen to her, I swear to you she will be safe." Gemini said calmly, but her tone was becoming louder with each word.
"So your in with this madness!" He yelled standing up. "I always knew you were up to something!"
"Mr. Scrofani!" Gemini yelled, "You have no idea what this man has done to me alight? You have no idea why I live with Antonio Balboa do you? No you don't so before you go and say something stupid I recommend you sit down and be quiet." This silenced the man, partially from the shock that somebody, a girl at that, was yelling at him, and the fact that he just learned that she was not Tony daughter.
"What are you talking about?"
"That mad man you talk about, his name is lord Voldemort and he killed my family. And he knows what I am capable of, for I am not your normal every day witch, that's right Mr. Scrofani I am a witch, just as your daughter is. I have been training for the past two years to avenge my family. Voldemort is smart enough to know not to mess with me for if he does, I will kill him, with my bare hands if needed. Now Lassandra will be in no danger in London. There I one street that we will stay on and I guarantee her safety as long as she stays with me." Gemini said, finishing off calmly, her breathing became heavy though.
"How do I know that I can trust you." Scrofani asked truthfully, looking up at her.
Gemini rose a hand to her forehead and pulled her bangs back, revealing her destiny. "Mr. Scrofani. I am Gemini Cielo, heiress to Diana. You may not believe in her but trust me on this. I swear upon her that our daughter will be safe."
Scrofani's eyes widened as he stared the moon mark on Gemini's forehead. After a few moments he nodded and answered, "She can go."
Gemini smiled and nodded, "Thank you Mr. Scrofani."
-
"Bye Tony." Gemini said and month later as she and Lassandra stood out side the front of Tony's house. "I'll write you when we get here alright?"
Tony nodded and smiled, kissing her on her forehead. "Have fun this year Gemini. And stay out of trouble."
Gemini just grinned and replied, "You know me all to well Tony."
"Are we ready?" Lassandra asked as she closed her now sleeping owl, Luna, in her cage.
"Yea Come Mischief." Gemini called as the small 5 year old cat pounced in to her arms. Gemini reached in to her jacket and pulled out her wand and held it in to the air.
Suddenly, out of nowhere a purple bus appeared in front of them, to both Tony and Lassandra's surprise.
A boy came out of the open doors and smiled at the three.
"The Name is Ernie, You called?"
Gemini smiled and nodded, "Yes, um My Gemini Cielo, I have booked two bed for a trip to London, I paid in advance."
Ernie whipped out a clipboard and scanned the names. "Ah yes, Gemini Cielo and Alassandra Scrofani. Well shall I take your things?"
"That you." Gemini said as the boy use the levitating charm to take to the luggage on to the bus.
"It the Knight Bus." Gemini explained to Tony, "I can take you anywhere you want."
"Well have fun Gemini, you to Lassandra." Tony said as the girls waved and boarded the bus.
As the doors closed behind them Tony watched in amazement as the bus disappeared once again, leaving no trace of it behind.

Lassandra and Gemini had been in London for only a day and the two where having the time of their lives. Lassandra was Tri lingual so she could understand every thing everybody was saying, but she spoke to Gemini in Italian, so no one would under stand her.
One day as the two walked though the street, eating ice cream Gemini's eye fell upon an certain red head with a black haired boy following her around like a sick puppy dog.
Gemini grinned, "Lily Dahling!" She cried out getting the red head's attention.
"Gemini!" Lily yelled s he ran over and hugged her shorter friend, who wasn't that short anymore. "How was your summer?"
"It was ok. Lily I would like you to meet my friend Lassandra from Italy. Lassandra, Lily."
"Hi." Lily said with a warm smile.
"Hey, nice to meet you." Lassandra answered with a nod of her head.
"I see your stalker is here, meaning Sirius must be around her to." Gemini laughed as Lily turned around to see James looking at her, his eyes widened as he ducked behind an in awe Sirius. "Oh no." Gemini muttered as she slapped a hand to her forehead, "He has that look in his eye again, Lassandra, what ver you do, don't fall for Sirius's charm, it's worked on all of the girls in school, he's turning in to a regular man whore."
Lassandra laughed as she turned around and gave a little wave at Sirius and a small wink before she turned around again.
"You playing with him, aren't you?" Lily said with a smile, "Good for you, show him whose boss girl."
Now Lassandra could pull this off. Lassandra was very pretty with her raven hair and piercing black eyes and ruby lips, she could have Sirius groveling at her feet by the end of the week. Today she had on a pair of her school robes made of place blue, shimmering silk that made her dark hair and her eyes stand out.
"And Who might you be?" Sirius said taking her hand and kissing it in a very gentleman like way.
"Alessandra Scrofani, maybe you've heard of me?" Lassandra said smoothly, taking her hand back and walking around to the back of Sirius. She put her hands on his shoulders and leaned in close so that her red lips brushed up against his ear. "I am a seer Sirius Black. And I see only you, I know what you are, and if you think you can play me… I will expose you for who you really are. I see only you Sirius." She pulled away leaving Sirius shocked, with a lick of her lips she grinned and walked back to Gemini, giving her a high five. "Now where is this Remus bot you are always talking about?"
Gemini looked over Lassandra's shoulder and her eyes widened as she saw her brown haired hubby.
"Remus!" She cried as she pushed her way though the bust streets, knocking a few people over in the process. She tripped over herself and by the time she scrambled to her feet he was gone. "Damn it!" Gemini yelled, stamping her foot on the ground, her short temper well evident.
"Well, if I didn't know any better, I would say that you look different from the last time I saw you." A smooth voice said from behind her.
Gemini whipped around and looked in to the cold eyes of steel that was Lucius Malfoy. Gemini put on a smirk and replied, "Well I am taller now, 150 cm. But one thing hasn't changed, I can still kick you ass and I still have a boyfriend who I love more than life itself."
Lucius scoffed as the two began to circle each other. "You can do so much better than him Gemini."
"There is no one better than Remus." Gemini said, smiling.
"Oh I assure you there is." Malfoy said in his trademark aristocratic voice.
"You think you can do better?" Gemini scoffed.
"I don't think he can." Remus said from behind her, making her jump up in the air. "'Lo Dea."
"See Lucius." Gemini said, throwing her arm around Remus's waist, "There is nobody better for me than Remus. Fuck off." She said with a continuous smile as she watched Lucius stalk off.
Gemini grinned and looked up in to Remus's eyes that she loved oh so very much.
"Well Malfoy had a point. I don't have to bend down to kiss you anymore." Remus whispered playfully before giving her a deep, sweet kiss, right in the middle of shopping witches and wizards, looking at them.
"How did I ever deserve you." Gemini whispered as the two broke apart and started the walk to rejoin their friends.
"You were you. That's all that matters." Remus reassured her as the reached the group of friends. "Who's she." He muttered, indicating to Lassandra.
"So you must be Remus." Lassandra said, holding out her hand. "Lassandra Scrofani, nice to meet cha."
Remus grasped her slender hand and shook it back, "And you."
As soon as these words left Remus's mouth Lassandra eye's widened and she passed out in the crowded street, with only the darkness to welcome her.
"Oh shit!" Gemini yelled drawing attention to them. "Some body help me get pick her up!"
Sirius knelt down and gingerly placed his arms underneath her knees and behind her shoulders. Lassandra's raven hair cascaded down in soft waves and her usually tan face was a ghostly pale.
"Come on." Gemini urged, "We have to get her back to the Inn." Gemini promptly grabbed Sirius's arm and began to drag him through the crowded street of rude people, who refused to move any faster.
"Every body get the hell out of the way!" Lily screamed, surprising everybody.
Gemini and Lily took the head of the crowd, and made an isle in the crowds of wizarding folk.
They made it in no time at all thanks to Gemini and Lily yelling and pushing. The magical folk could be very stubborn at times of need. They burst through the inn's door and alarmed the occupants. With out stopping the group headed straight up to Gemini's room, Gemini leaded the way. Once they got inside Sirius gently put the out cold girl on a bed while Gemini threw open her trunk. She mumbled to her self as she looked through bottle after bottle of potions she had made over the summer.
James became impatient and sat down on her bed softly before muttering enervate.
"No!" Gemini yelled, but it was too late. "She's a seer! She's divining something! You shouldn't have woken her up."
Lassandra sat up, robotic in motion. Her black eyes shot up, unfocused. Her head was hung down and soon he spoke.
"La figlia del divine discenderà fra il mondo morale. Il suo inheritor uno della condizione grande. La figlia delle stelle sarà. Un regalo che grande terrà. Un regalo visto soltanto attraverso gli occhi dei ciechi. Troverà il conspirator per portarla a giustizia e per reunite le stelle nel cielo."
Lassandra head snapped up and her once unfocused black eyes were now alert and on the verge of tears. She looked at Gemini with wide eyes and asked what everybody in the room was thinking, "What did I say?"
Gemini took a deep breath and replied in a solemn tone. "The daughter of the divine shall descend among the moral world. Her inheritor one of great standing. The daughter of the stars she shall be. A great gift she shall hold. A gift only seen through the eyes of the blind. She shall find the conspirator. Bring him to justice. And reunite the stars in heaven." Gemini finished looking up at her.
"¿Non lo vedete?" Lassandra pleaded in her native language, "È la vostra figlia."
Gemini clasped her hands to her mouth in shock as she fell to the ground, looking at Lassandra with wide eyes, which seemed to create an understanding with the seer sitting on the bed. An understanding of the destiny of the Cielo name.

The week ended all to quickly and Lassandra was soon found outside the inn in muggle London, her wand arm in the arm, muggles looking at her like she was crazy. Soon after their good-byes the knight bus whisked her away back home, leaving the 7 hogwarts friend back to themselves. Gemini hasn't been the same since Lassandra's prediction; it kept her deep in thought for the rest of her stay in Diagon alley. Nobody knew what Lassandra had last said but she and Lassandra, but her friends could tell something was bothering her. But whenever somebody asked, she would brush it off like it was no big deal. Remus saw it in her eyes, she knew something. Lassandra had told her something important and now it was sinking in. but try as he might, he couldn't get it out of her.
Remus and Gemini were so close now the two felt inseparable. The bond they shared was strong, even if their differences made it seem like they were not meant to be together. And that's how Gemini felt. Even though she loved being close to Remus, she felt a force pulling the two away from each other, a force that couldn't be stopped, but she ignored it. She loved him. Or at least that what she kept telling herself.
James was still stalking Lily and Lily still ignored James because Mary Sue still stalked him. But Gemini was thankful when they began talking to each other again.
Sirius still hasn't found the right girl for him, but he said that Lassandra could have be it for him. To bad Gemini didn't agree with him about it and threatened him each time her name was uttered out of his mouth. He still hasn't caught on that Lassandra was forbidden territory. But Sirius has also changed. Gemini started to notice odd little things about him. Like the glove he wore the kind with no fingers. And these black sunglasses he always had on. But she dismissed this as a new way to pick up chicks and let it be.
Soon the seven friends were being shipped to kings cross station via ministry of magic car, courtesy of Mr. Potter. It was a regular car on the outside, but easily fit eight people in the back, which looked like it extended in to a stretch limo. Sure enough they got to kings cross with only one dungbomb being sent off and the seven friends scrambled out of the car. Gemini held mischief close to her as they walked through the crowded station. Gemini and Remus were to go first through the barrier. The casually leaned up against it and fell through to platform 9 and three-quarters. They were now on their way to the 6th year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry.
