Hey everybody! I was going to update last night, but I had to get off the computer @ 11… the funny thing is it is 1:18 right now, and I just woke up 18 minutes ago… I have no clue why but yea ok. LOL. I think that I'm either becoming very obvious about the shippings in this story, or my reviews are just very, very, very smart. Well I know that Nettey know because I told her, because she would have never figured it out on her own, but a few of them… such as Aloha and Noelle, have asked me a question which I will answer. But I'm going to make it a riddle, because I'm difficult and I don't just give things away.
A quarter score and months away
Little heiress third eye may see
Although infant she may be
Powerful by now is she
In the dark she sees clearly
In her heart she feels others
In the silence she hears all
She hears her fathers call
Little heiress all alone
Mother not far away
Little heiress begin to cry
Mother races to her side
Little heiress's orbs or silver
Welling up in tears
Mothers knows exactly what
Little Heiress fears
Her father has left
For why mother knows
Mothers hold her daughter
In a bright flash they are gone.
A new future they will live
Extra brownie points to the person who can figure this out… And no Nettey you can not participate because I told you already.

Revelation
It was a week before holiday break and nobody seemed in the mood to work. Gemini and James were exhausted from auror classes, quidditch practices and games, and the detentions they have been serving for the past two months. The remaining marauders had fun wrecking havoc on the school as usual and serving their weekly detentions, as usual. Their latest detention, however, was for dumping red and gold paint on Severus Snape during potions… they're still serving that one. Lily was a bit quieter than usual; her studies keeping her busy through out the night and her prefect status keeping her busy through the day. Lily had barely any time to sleep, except through History of Magic and even then it was only because Gemini has slipped some sleeping draft in to her pumpkin juice. Bella began to open up more, but ever one in their group of friends knew that Bella would never be same. She went from a fun loving, boy crazy, teenage girl who's biggest problem was what she was going to wear to the ball to a girl who felt as if she was being watched from all angles, constantly looking over her shoulder, as if she though she would see those crazed ice blue eyes staring hungrily at her once again. This had been a very unnerving year for the marauders and their friends, and it would be a year that nobody would forget.

"Happy Christmas Gemini!" Lily yelled at she shook Gemini from a deep sleep.
Gemini opened one groggy eye as she slowly sat up, her hair a jumbled mass of knots. She yawned as she looked the watch on her wrist.
Sighing, she mumbled, "Lily, it's half past five in the morning, go back to sleep." Gemini then promptly feel back on to her pillow, pulling her blankets over her head.
"Oh come on Gemini!" Lily whined, trying to pull her friend out of bed, "It's Christmas!"
"Can you please SHUT UP!" Kai whined as she sat up from her bed, "Some people are trying to sleep."
"Oh do be quiet and go back to your beauty sleep." Lily snapped from her seat on Gemini's bed.
"And at the rate you're going, don't wake up." Gemini added in, sneering slightly in the Hawaiian's direction. "Stupid American," Gemini muttered as she yet again rolled over, trying to get back to sleep.
"Gemini!" Lily whined, pulling off her friend's blanket, "Get up!"
Gemini looked up and grinned as wide as she could in her sleep state, as the blankets came flying out of Lily's hand and back on to her, "No."
"Why not!"
"Because if you don't remember, I don't believe in Christmas, or Jesus, or God."
"You don't believe in God!" Kai exclaimed, sitting straight up in her bed, "How can you not!"
"You're a Satanist, aren't you?" Moana asked, she to becoming interested.
Gemini rolled her eyes, "No I do not worship the devil."
"Than how come you don't believe in God?" Kai asked, an eyebrow raised, a smirk on her lips.
"Because I believe in a Goddess, now sod off." Gemini muttered, giving in to Lily's plea's as she stood up in her bed, showing off her extra large shirt and her bright red socks. "Come on Lily, lets go wake Bella and the boys up before I have to kill some one."
"I'm already awake." They heard Bella say as she stuck her blonde head out of the curtains surrounding her bed. "I think every one in the house is now." She laughed.
Gemini smiled, That was the first time in a few months that she had heard Bella laugh. "Let's go wake up the boys then." Gemini said maliciously, an evil grin spreading across her lips as she reached for her wand.
Gemini jumped off of her bed soundlessly, landing with the grace of a cat. Slowly she stood up, brushed her self off, and started walking towards the door. Her smiled faded slightly as she and her two friends left the room. She hated when people did not under stand her, or her beliefs. Was it that hard to comprehend that she believed in something that she was? Not many people knew she was the heiress of a Goddess, so not many knew her basis behind her belief. But she did not mind that much. Gemini was the kind of girl who could care less of what other people thought of her and that how she always was.
"Ready?" Lily snickered as the three entered the boy's dorms each girl stopping in their tracks, fear evident in each of their eyes.
And they screamed.
Three whipped cream pies came flying though the air hitting each girl with much force, covering them in with light fluffy dairy by product.
The three girls stood in silence as James, Peter and Sirius erupted in to gales of laughter, doubling up and rolling around on the floor. Gemini wiped the cream from her eyes to see Remus sitting on his bed, a small smile on his face, a book in hand.
Gemini smiled slightly and shook her head. Mr. Pacifism himself. Remus would never get in to a fight, duel, or anything that promoted war or hate. Even something as minor as throwing pies on a couple of girls.
"Happy Christmas G!" Sirius laughed as he picked her up and twirled her around.
"Sirius, I don't think Fiona would be to happy with you right now if she knew you were spinning me in circles." Gemini laughed as he was hoisted over Sirius shoulder.
"Why? You're like my little sister." He rubbed the head, messing up her hair even more, "What's a little sibling love?"
Gemini rolled her eyes as he began to march out of the room, James (who was carrying Lily), Bella, Peter and Remus in tow. Down the stairs they went, waking up each Gryffindor as the clambered down the stone steps. Reaching the common room, Sirius threw Gemini in to the air, who landed with a thud in one of the overstuffed armchairs. Sticky with whipped cream she sat and scowled in the dimness, sticking her though out at Sirius.
"Oh cheer up Gemini!" Bella said as she sat down next to her, "the Yule ball is tomorrow, now is not the time to be all dark and dreary!"
"The Yule Ball!" Gemini exclaimed, hitting her hand to her forehead. " I completely forgot about that! Shit!"
"Wonderful use of vocabulary G. What's the Matter?" Sirius asked, sitting down next to her, "No dress, date, life?"
"Shut up." Gemini scowled as she punched Sirius in the arm, knocking him on to the floor. " I don't have a dress."
"What about the dress from the Halloween Ball?" Bella asked,
"Destroyed remember?"
Bella blushed her head hung, "Oh yea, sorry."
"That's alright G!" Sirius laughed picking up the small girl, "We'll go and get you a dress today. Remember? Hogsmeade weekend!"
"Won't Fiona get mad?"
"Do you really care if Fiona gets mad or not?"
At this Gemini laughed slightly, "Do I ever?"
"Good, then it's settled than, you and me are going shopping!" Sirius said enthusiastically.
"Oh Goddess…" Gemini muttered rolling her eyes. If Gemini knew anything about Sirius, it was he was the worse person to shop with, especially for dresses.
-
"How about this one?" Sirius asked, holding out a skimpy black dress with no sleeves, a low cut and a high seam. "It's black. You love black!"
"Sirius." Gemini said pointing at the dress, "Do I look like a whore to you?"
"Well, I can make you look like one!"
"Shut up and look for something I would wear. Preferably something black and original."
"Kay G." Sirius said, as he sifted through the racks of dress robes.
The shop was filled with students who were all looking for last minute touches to their dress robes. Sirius and Gemini had to pushed their way through the girls, who gladly moved to the side at the sight of Sirius, which made Gemini gag.
"How about this one?" Sirius asked as he pulled out a dress, holding it up for Gemini to see.
"Sirius!" Gemini yelled, "I am not going to the ball in something that skimpy!"
Sirius gave up in a huff, and threw the dress back on the rack, "Fine then Gemini, why don't you just go in any old thing you own any way! Go in a toga for all I care!"
At this Gemini eyes widened as she grinned broadly, "Sirius you are a genius!" she launched her self at the taller boy, hugging him around his neck, she planted a kiss on her cheek before letting go. "Sirius I love you!"
"You know that isn't the first time a girl threw herself at me, and proclaimed their love, but I never could see you doing that." Sirius laughed.
"Sirius think! Toga…" she pulled out her wand. "Powers."
"I am a genius!" Sirius joked, playfully punching her in the shoulder. "Now I all I need to do is find you a date. Lets get out of here, we have to go to the three broom sticks and meet up with the rest of the guys.
"Right." Gemini said excitedly as she and Sirius exited the shop.
"Oh my God." Mary sue whispered, sticking her head out of the rack the two Gryffindors where just sifting through, "I cant wait until Fiona hears about this!"
-
"Oh God here she comes! Hide me!" James muttered, his face paling as Fiona and Mary Sue walked in to the bust pub. Lily smiled as she quickly switched seats with her boy friend just in time as the two Ravenclaws found their way to the table.
"'Lo Sirius." She purred a she placed a peck on his cheek, "Come to Honeydukes with me?'
Sirius grinned and nodded as he stood up giving James thumbs up the two walked out the door.
"Lily, may I speak to you for a second?" Mary Sue asked, a forced smile on her lips.
"Sure, why not." Lily said dramatically as she rose form her seat, winking over to Gemini who had no clue what was going on in side Lily's mind.
Gemini watched the two girls leave the pub and was about to turn and ask Bella if she was going tomorrow when a scream was heard from out side, followed by the sickening sound of bone crunching. "And don't let me ever catch you hitting on James again!"
Lily walked back in to the pub; all around her silenced from what she had just done. Grinning, she dusted herself off and confidently walked back to the table. She took a set on James's lap before saying, "I don't think we'll have to worry about James any more."
"You slapped her didn't you?" Remus asked, looking up from his butter beer.
"Nope." Lily said, quite proud of her self, "I followed in Gemini's foot steps." Gemini grinned widely as se realized what Lily had just done; "I punched her."
"You shouldn't have done that." Remus commented.
Gemini just looked at him and said, "Well I am so sorry Mr. World Peace that Lily's sudden out burst has such an effect on you. I must be rubbing off on her. What a shame." Gemini said in a monotone voice, her expression flat.
She was still upset that Remus had just dumped her like that in her time of need and Gemini Cielo hardly ever forgave, and she never forgot either.
Remus just stared back at her with his orbs of cobalt blue, the same eyes that she had fallen in love with. Gemini's eyes softened, but then she quickly turned away, Gemini hated being seen as weak, and Remus, for that time, was her weakness. She didn't know what it was about him but he held a certain innocent aura around him that pulled Gemini towards him. Gemini felt safe around him, yet she felt vulnerable. Her guard was dropped whenever she was around Remus, she exposed the girl whom she really was, the girl who actually had feelings and emotions who actually felt and cared for other people. Not that Gemini didn't care for other people, she did, she just didn't show it.
James and Gemini had heard of news from the Order Of Phoenix. Bella, Lily and the rest of the marauders where to be joining soon, each of them having a special quality that made them a vital part. Bella was being called in for espionage, along with Peter, Lily for charms, Sirius for transfiguration and Remus for his extensive knowledge of the Dark Arts. James was to be an auror and so was Gemini, but Gemini had a special mission, a task assigned to only her, which she was to begin when she got out of school, and when the ministry passed a law permitting it. Gemini was to be an assassin for the highest-ranking Death Eaters only, only those who are wanted, dead or alive. And it will be Gemini's job to assure the Ministry of Magic they would be found dead. Gemini was picked for this task for she possessed a high magical quality, an extremely strong will, and the determination and passion to put these people to justice, to kill the ones who have taken so many lives. She was also picked for each day she was in training, her outer mask became stronger and stronger, pushing her deeper and deeper, waiting for the day when this ruthless mask would consumer her, and leave no proof that Gemini Cielo ever existed. And this is what Gemini wanted.
-
"Bella are you sure you don't want to go?' Gemini asked, sitting down on her friend's bed, crossed legged, wearing nothing but a pair of socks, a T-shirt and a pair of sweat shorts.
Bella merely nodded and smiled slightly.
"Alright." Gemini said softly, giving Bella a smile before standing up and returning to her own bed.
Gemini knew that Bella would never be the same. She didn't know how she felt, or what she has gone through, but it had been getting better for her in the past months. Gemini bit her lip as she thought of the few days after wards, the talks they had shared, the moments that ripped Gemini heart out of her chest. No one was prepared for the event, nobody. Gemini had promised no to beat Alexander in to a bloody pulp, but every time she saw him in the hall before he was expelled, anger rose in her chest that surpassed every thing. Gemini was used to pain. She was used to suffering, physical, emotional and psychological torture. She has seen her parent die before he very eyes, hear her sister cry out, beg for mercy, she has seen her own death. Beaten, choked, burned, hexed and cursed to the point where any other witch or wizard would have died. Gemini knew that her mortality was less than a normal human, and that she could handle most anything Voldemort or anybody else threw at her. But Gemini has never been scared. Worried yes, but not frightened, petrified, timorous. Somebody has never forced himself or herself on to her, Gemini had never been raped. And that was the one thing she felt she could never handle. Gemini saw Bella in an entirely new light after that night. Bella had Gemini's up most respect, for Bella had tackled this obstacle with flying colors. The only thing that she had done besides rubbing her skin on of her body to rid her self of the filth, was try to commit suicide. She had told Gemini and Lily, after she was allowed out of the hospital wing, that she was afraid that she would be hated, and that nobody would come after her if she did jump. When she found out that not only Gemini came for her, but Sirius and Remus as well did, she regretted it from that moment on. That was the moment Bella began to recover. And the moment that Gemini, Lily and Bella became soul sister's once more.
"Gemini are you alright?" Lily asked her, snapping Gemini out of her dazed state.
Gemini shook her head slightly and smiled, "Of course, I was just thinking."
"Alright, but I just wanted to let you know that we have only a few minutes left until we have to leave, the twins have already gone down."
"Good, they're gone." Gemini grinned as she stood up and held her wand in front of her, "I know they've seen me do this before, but I really don't need them telling to whole school now do I?"
Gemini closed her eyes and whispered the incantation that would concentrate her celestial power to her, and make her the heiress in 100% form. A bright blinding light came from her crescent mark on her head and engulfed her until it diminished, leaving Gemini standing, her hair intricately twisted on to her head, small flowers spastically appearing. Her white toga formed to her body until her waist, where it became loose fitting. A black slash was tied loosely around her waist, sandals upon her small feet. The moon talisman shone around her neck as a crest, matching the mark of her destiny on her forehead. In her hand was a bow, made from the branch of the grandest cypress tree in Italy, from the grove of Diana. On her back was a quiver of arrows, each with a deadly arrow attached to a branch of cypress, each able to take the life of a mortal woman, and enabling them to pass on to another light.
"Well, I'm ready." Gemini said, looking at the bow and arrow in her hands, "I feel a bit guilty, using my gift in vain…" she mused aloud as she removed the quiver, "hey Lily, want to do me a favor? Shrink these?" she held out her bow and quiver as Lily performed a shrinking charm to them. "Thanks." Gemini said as she looked though her trunk for some pre wrap, "here we go!" Gemini sat down on her bed and lifted her toga so that one of her thighs where showing. Slowly and carefully, Gemini wrapped each against her thigh, making sure the arrows would not pierce in to her skin. When she was done she stood up and dusted herself of, looking in the mirror.
"You look beautiful." Bella commented in her soft voice, smiling at her friend. "You two are going to be the Belle of the Ball." She laughed softly.
"You right Bella, but it's only because you not there." Lily assured her hugging her good bye, "we'll be back soon enough keep that chin up." She laughed softly.
"Bye Bella." Gemini said also hugging her, "Lily will be with James, meaning they'll be back well past lights out, so I'll be up first, so I am going solo. Have fun up here." Gemini said with a smile as she and Lily began to walk out of the room, "Oh and if you want to copy my potions homework, go right ahead, it's on my desk,"
"Gemini catch!" Bella laughed as she tossed her Italian friend her prefect badge, "Must wear it remember."
Gemini said disappointedly as she caught it, "stupid freaking Prefect badge"
"Come on Miss Goddess, It is time for daily heart attack causing, see you in a bit Bella!" and at that she closed the door and the two girls ran down the steps in to the common room where they met the marauders, clad in their best dress robes.
"Wow G!" Sirius whistled as Gemini smiled lightly as him and Lily made her way towards James, "Looking good in the To-Ga!"
"Is it that noticeable?" Gemini laughed, "Or do I have to become an anger filled adolescent to please you?"
"No that's alright, I like my privates the way they are thank you." Sirius said seriously, dodging a pillow that was thrown at him, "Just kidding."
"Come on." Remus said softly, " Time to leave."
"Right." Gemini agreed, walking past the group, "Now if you'll excuse me, I must be off, hearts to attack, mass chaos to cause, panic to instigate, let go." And with that she walked out the portrait hole, a confident smile on her face, her mark shining ever so slight in the dimness of the hall ways."
And that's it for this chapter! Oh and these are the footnotes for last chapter because I forgot to add them in!
