First off I might be a bit late on my next chapter, for I am applying to HPAC (Howell Performing Arts Center) where I'll be taking writing classes. Well, I need to get a portfolio together. And I would greatly appreciate it if you would leave "Constructive Comments" so I can put them in my portfolio for my "Readers Opinion" section. And just put like, permission to quote afterwards so I can use it! Thanks so much!
Next, you can blame Chibi Chel for this chapter… I really don't like it… at all. It's all her fault, and Nettey's, whose insane ideas came forth in a conversation which I was forced to use for comic relief. It there is any grammatical errors, I'm sorry; I don't have a beta reader, and my eyes skip over them. And here it is! For all my Sirius/Gemini shippers, this chapter is for you, and for all you Remus/Gemini shippers, maybe this one is for you to…I don't know. I'm confused again. I must get another expresso. ::Walks away mumbling about snow in Hawaii::
Balli, Baci E Scosse
Dances, Kisses, and kicks
The solitary demigoddess smiled as she walked in to the great hall, her dark eyes taking in all that was around her. Many peoples heads turned as the girl walked through the room, clad in the purest white, a black sash tied loosely around her slender waist. The girl, dress in the wear of ancient Italy, ignoring the weird looks she was reviewing from the other teenagers, all of which who where dress in the coolest dress robes of the time. The Italian walked through the hall, straight to the large table at the head of the hall, where an old man sat, watching her with sparking sapphire eyes. Orbs of brown met blue as the two smiled and met each other, coming to a silent understanding, one that only a believer would come to accept. The old man nodded in her direction, as the middle-aged woman besides him looked awestruck, just noticing the girl's presence.
"Miss Cielo, I presume." Dumbledore said softly, smiling as Gemini stopped in front of the head table.
"It is I." Gemini replied, smiling in return, the smile lighting up her face, a great change from her usual expressionless mask.
"I see you have certainly changed in sorts Miss Cielo, perhaps a visit from Diana?"
At this Gemini blushed slightly, but recovered quickly, her face impassive, "I guess you can say that."
"All dressed up, and no one to dance with Gemini?" McGonagal asked, a questioning smiled on her lips.
Gemini just shook her head and replied, "I don't dance."
"Such a shame." McGonagal said softly.
"Go Miss Cielo, Enjoy yourself," Dumbledore said.
"Yes sir." Gemini obeyed, bowing her head slightly as she turned on her heel and walked back in to the crowd of people.
"Gemini! There you are!" Lily laughed as her red headed friend ran up to her, taking her hands, "We where looking all over for you!"
"I was talking with Dumbledore." Gemini replied, "he noticed my change in attire. Where's Sirius?"
At this Lily laughed, "He's already out on the dance floor with Fiona. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get James away from Mary Sue who has been following us around since we left the common room. See you in a bit!"
Gemini just laughed as she watched Lily pull James out on to the dance floor. And sure enough there was Mary Sue. Still beautiful, despite the black eye she was sporting. Gemini saw her shooting grins at some one in the crowd, but who? Gemini followed Mary Sue's malicious gaze until her eyes fell upon Fiona and Sirius. Fiona wore the same gleam in her eye as Mary sues. Gemini frowned as she stared at him, until her lips moved every so lightly, but Gemini picked up on what she had said. Now. Gemini's eyes widened as the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Se pushed her way through the crowd as Mary Sue began to walk away a satisfied smile on her lips. Gemini quickened her pace as she caught up with Mary Sue. Gemini lashed out a hand and grabbed on to her shoulder twisting her around.
"What the hell is going on." Gemini hissed, looking up at Mary Sue's face.
"That is none of your concern Cielo. What the matter, couldn't find a dress with Sirius?"
"Huh?" Gemini asked her, her eyes narrowing slightly
"I saw you two love birds in the robe shop, looking for a decent dress to fit your scrawny body."
"What are you playing at Mary Sue?" Gemini asked, a bit of threat thrown in.
"I saw you two, hugging and kissing in the robe shop. Did you honestly think you could cheat on someone in this school! I think not! So," She added in with a cruel smile, "Captain Testosterone is going to have his heart ribbed apart in," she looked over Gemini's shoulder and winked, "Oh five seconds."
Gemini's eyes widened as she whipped around just in time to see Fiona slap Sirius across the face. To Gemini everything seem to go in slow motion. Fiona grinned as Sirius stared back at her, a hand reaching up to touch his tender cheek. Fiona smiled smugly as she waved good bye, turned on her heel, and left a shocked Sirius standing alone in the middle of the dance floor.
Suddenly with out warning Sirius wheeled around and stormed out of the great hall, anger and pain plainly evident,
"Shit." Gemini muttered, as she broke away from Mary sue and began to sift through the crowd.
"What's the matter Gemini darling?" Mary Sue called after her, "Going after your boy friend?"
Gemini whipped around, her eyes burning a dark and dangerous black, "No, Mary Sue. I am going after my brother."
Seeing the shocked expression on her face Gemini wheeled around once again and bolted out of the door, in search for Sirius.
She entered the entrance hall just in time to see the front doors close and she sighed. At least she knew where he was going. Gemini cursed her self for not bringing a cloak with her as she bit her lower lip and stepped out side.
"SIRIUS!" Gemini yelled at his receding back, he not bothering to turn around, but he stopped walking and merely stood there.
Gemini took this as an invitation before running across the snow-covered grounds. To Gemini's surprise the snow melted underneath her feet, she wasn't shivering, she was warm. And although this amazed her she still ran towards Sirius who was still stood alone. Snow swirling around his dark figure, making him stand out against the white scenery. His hands in his pocket. She was confused to see he was in his leather jacket. The same leather jacket he practically slept in since the beginning of the year.
"Sirius, are you ok?" Gemini asked calmly, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Sirius turned around, his trademark grin plastered on his face, a nasty looking five star on his face. "I've been better."
"Oh come on Sirius. Every body gets dumped once in a while. Take a look at me. Both you and Remus broke up with me."
At the Sirius let out a short laugh and shook his head. "That's different G."
Gemini scoffed and but her hands on her hips, "How was that different?"
"One. You ad I technically didn't go out. We were twelve. And Remus dumped you for a good cause. Besides. You know me. I'm Sirius Black!" he puffed out his chest proudly, "Captain Testosterone!"
"That's nothing to be proud of Sirius." Gemini stated her eyes boring in to his.
Sirius shrugged, "It's a reputation."
"Not a very good one." Gemini yelled, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, Oh I get it." Sirius said in mock realization. "So I should be like you!" he said sarcastically, pacing around as if he just found out the meaning of life. "Anti social, psychopathic, quiet! I'm going to have to work on having a gloomy personality though. Ok. So I have to stop pretending to be human. Gotcha."
"I'm not like that!" Gemini exclaimed, stomping her foot on the ground "Ok, so maybe I am anti social. And I do have a gloomy personality. But that's only when I'm not around you guys!"
"True true." Sirius laughed, "Come on G, you look cold take this." He began to take off his jacket.
"No Sirius." She said, stopping him, "I'm fine."
"Are you sure G?" Sirius asked nicely. "Because, you know it is a bit nipple-ly out here." He laughed.
Gemini's eyes widened as she looked down and blushed, "Give me that jacket."
"Told you." he laughed as he took off the jacket and threw it to Gemini, who greedily pulled it on.
Gemini smiled up at Sirius as she zipped the jacket up. Just because she didn't feel cold, doesn't mean her body didn't react to the cold, she wasn't a full goddess, only partly. She looked up at Sirius who was shivering and she place her small slender hand on his cheek where the red mark was.
"Did it hurt?" she asked tenderly, his hand moving up to hers.
"Nah. I'm a beater remember, I'm use to having things hit me in the face. And I also have you for a Little Sister, so I'm used to the flying fists." He ended softly, his eyes of silver staring in to her eyes of umber.
Suddenly with out any warning his lips bashed in to hers. Her lips tensed up as thoughts and emotions ran through her head. A swirl of fear, surprise, confusion, and love mixed around in her head, fogging the scene around as her heart wanted to go deeper in to the kiss, but her mind screamed no. Gemini's eyes widened as she stepped back a shocked look on her face.
"I don't think so Sirius." Gemini said shaking her head stepping back once again. "Save it for another one of your ladies. Don't do it to me." She laughed nervously, looking at the dejected look on his face. "I've got to go." She took of his jacket and handed it back to him as she turned quickly and teleported out of sight.
-
Gemini landed softly on her feet, kneeling down in the snow, she looked around and smiled as she saw she teleported correctly this time. The last time she had tried to teleport when she was emotional she ended up in the Slytherin boys 6th year dorm, right on top of Lucius Malfoy. She thanks the god that she managed to teleport her butt out of there before Lucius woke up to see her eagle spread on top of him in his bed. She looked around at her new surroundings. She was on top of a hill on the grounds, the highest natural point on the hogwarts grounds, just before the quidditch pitch. She had the perfect view of the lake, where she saw Sirius sitting in the snow, at the lake edge, throwing rocks at the water.
Gemini sighed deeply as she ran the nights though over in her head. Sirius had kissed her. Something she didn't want to happen again. She loved Sirius, with all of her heart, as a brother. She was the closest to Sirius out of all of the marauders, even closer than Remus. But if she didn't want Sirius to kiss her, what was she feeling. She felt as if she had swallowed the snitch, and it was flying around in her get. Her heart was racing and her ears where pounding. The scene flashed past her closed eyelids, over and over again. The look in his eyes, his touch, his scent, The crisp scent of a cold night, the scent that was solely Sirius.
Her hair began to fall out in long tendrils, stress definitely causing it. Gemini sighed as she quickly began to untie her hair, allowing it to fall at its extremely long length. It took her about a minute for her hair to be complete down, the tips reaching below her bottom, each strand now slightly curled from it former position. Her slender hands then reached down to untie her Bow and Quiver from it's hiding spot on her thigh. Holding the two small pieces Gemini closed her eyes and muttered the reversal spell. In a small flash of light she held her bow and quiver in her hands. Smiling she threw the quiver over the shoulder and her bow, fitting naturally in her hand. She blew her long choppy bangs out of her face and look down at her dress. She thought to herself that it really shouldn't qualify as a toga. The pure white dress was tied about the shoulder, like any normal toga would be, but the material it's self was form fitting around the top, and looser towards the bottom, folding as it reached her feet. She guessed the normal toga and the toga of a goddess would be different as she shrugged and looked back out to the lake, where Sirius's figure was no longer out there. Gemini squinted slightly as she tried to see who the girl was. Kai. In robes of shimmering sea green, it brought out her eyes and accented her sharp features. Gemini gritted her teeth as she thought of the little bimbo flirting with him. Her eyes widened once again as she began to pace around the top of the hill, hoping she was out of sight from the two. Why did she care so much? It was Sirius for crying out load. Sirius bloody Black, heart breaker of Hogwarts. He was her best guy friend, why was he doing this to her! She ran her hands through her now wavy hair, letting out a sigh of frustration. Her eyes glanced back to Sirius and Kai. She was playing him. She was definitely playing him. How could she do that! He has just been dumped for the very first time in his life, his ego had been ripped apart and she is using his own tricks on him. Anger flooded her mind and her eyes went from dark brown to black. Her eyes narrowed as a wicked smile spread across her lips, and she focused all of her energy on to the blonde girl.
-
"You know Sirius, I know how you feel." Kai said softly, eyes of sea green looking lovingly in to eyes of silver.
"How?" Sirius asked softly, his voice barely audible.
"You did it to me remember?" she said sadly, letting out a soft laugh, "When you became friends with Gemini again. She took it away from us Sirius." She said softly, leaning in kissing him lightly.
Sirius kissed back, but did not fully get in to it. As the two kissed all Sirius could do was compare Gemini to Kai. How Gemini's lips were not as full, but softer, and more tender and innocent. Kai's kiss was forceful; as if she waited years to kiss him again, Gemini's was surprised and tensed up. She didn't want it. She didn't want him. Sirius was about to pull away when Kai froze. Sirius opened his eyes to see Kai frozen, a look of terror on her face.
-
"Stupid American." Gemini muttered under her breath. Her voice then turned changed as she laughed, "American Go Splash"
-
Sirius could only watch in surprise as the girl hovered in the air for a few seconds, then when soaring straight in to the depths of the lake.
Only one person could have done that. He looked around frantically, looking for the Italian that was known for creating chaos.
An arrow dove from the air and landed in the earth next to his hand, missing it by mere centimeters. Sirius picked it up and looked at it, his eyes went to the hill where there was the silhouette of a girl, bow in hand by her side, long hair flying about, a pale crescent on her forehead, an eerie white out line from the moon which shone in the back ground. The girl spun on her heel and literally disappeared from sight.
"Gemini." Sirius whispered, his voce carried away by the wind.
-
Gemini landed gracefully in her room in a crouching position, one knee on the floor accompanied by one hand. She looked up, seeing Bella on her bed.
"Dropping in so early?" Bella asked lightly, putting her book aside.
Gemini smiled as she stood up and brushed herself off. Closing her eyes, she transformed back to her normal self, her hair straight again, and at its normal length, just below her bottom. Gemini loved her hair. It took her a lot of work in the morning to get it brushed out, she had to be careful as not to sit on it, and she had to be careful in potions as not to burn it. But she loved it none the less. Lately she has been wearing it back in a braid, which suited her quite well; it kept it out of her way. Her hair was her pride and joy and she threatened to kill anyone who even considered cutting it off.
Gemini grinned as she sat on her bed and opened her trunk. "Bella, want to raid the kitchens with me?"
Bella bit her lower lip in thought as she smiled and nodded her head, her blonde hair falling in front of her face in soft wisps.
"Great." Gemini said, her dark eyes sparkling despite what has recently happened. She needed to do something she wasn't supposed to be doing. "Lets go. By a good boy Mischief" she called out to her cat who lay lazily on her bed, who meowed in return.
Bella nodded once again as she put her book down and jumped lightly off of her bed, landing on her toes. Gemini smiled. To put it short, Bella was an amazing dancer, a natural performer. She had all the grace and elegance of a cat, and the beauty that her name binds her to. Gemini had two left feet when it came to dancing. The only dancing she could do was in the ring, just before she attacked her opponent with a wave of fury and punches.
The two girls walked silently down the halls, neither making a sound, the only noise in the corridors was that from the Yule Ball, which was still going on.
"GEMINI CIELO!" a voice screamed from in front of them, "GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Gemini squinted to see who was mad at her now. A slight smile spread across her lips, as Bella looked at her with a shocked look. Two girls appeared in the light provided by a torch and Gemini nearly burst out laughing.
"What's so funny Cielo?" Kai spat, looking like she was once wet then hit with a drying spell. Her blonde hair was plastered to her head, green eyes burning.
"Look at what the niffler dragged in." Bella scoffed much to Gemini's surprise.
"Well, well, well." Moana drawled, "Arabella Figg, speaks again."
"How are you doing Bella." Kai snapped, green eyes blazing, "Getting knocked up again?"
Gemini's eyes narrowed and her fists balled up. She glanced over to Bella; the tears have already started to fall. With out thinking Gemini strode forward ready to beat the two girls in to a bloody pulp, ready to use all of the new combat training Moody has taught her, when a flash of blonde swept past her.
Bella stepped on front of Gemini and swung her leg in a large circular motion, smacking both girls in the side of their face, knocking them both to the ground. Bella just stood over them, her hands balled up in fist, her eyes blazing, breathing heavy.
"Don't you even dare insulting Gemini, Lily or myself ever again." She hissed through gritted teeth.
Gemini just looked on as the twins scurried to their feet and walked away, nursing their faces and their pride. Gemini's eyes were wide as she looked at Bella, who was trying to calm down.
Bella merely shrugged and smiled sheepishly, "It's a dance move."
"A bloody amazing dance move!" she hugged Bella around the neck, "I'm so proud of you!"
"Come on Gemini." Bella said softly, "I think this deserves some victory ice cream."
