l'inizio dell'estremità

The beginning of the end



Gemini boarded the Hogwarts express with same intense expression that made first years cower under her gaze. With Mischief perched upon her shoulder, she gracefully walked through the crowded corridor, her temper kept well in check after her week long, involuntary stay at St. Mungo's for her anger management, a calming potion also helped, which she was to brew and take three times a day, when she woke, at high noon, and before she went to sleep, and an extra dose on the full moon. She made her way through the cars until she reached the Prefect car in the front of the train, looking for her red headed best friend.

Lily and James were head boy and girl, which surprised no one. They were theperfect couple. James was smart and athletic, captain of the Quidditch team, top transfigurer in the school, and incredibly handsome at that. Where James was hot in the spot light, Lily was more of a wall flower, the beautifully quiet girl that everyone knew and loved, but always found innocently attractive. She didn't need makeup or flashy robes to get people to notice her, she had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her emerald eyes and she had boy crawling at her feet. Brilliant in charms, a few years in advance, learning on a professional level, she was tutoring the younger student who had trouble. With a heart of gold she was ready and willing to go out of her way for people, and never thought of herself.

Yes, Lily and James where perfect.

Something Gemini could never be. Gemini would always be remembered as the one no one dared to get angry. Gemini was beautiful, in her own way, like the tiger, majestic and royal, yet deadly. Gemini was driven with the ideal of being perfect, for that is what has been driven into her mind at a young age. Failure was not acceptable. When she lost a boxing match, she would train twice as much, and twice as hard, not caring if the other people around her found her masochistic, just as long as she payed for her failure in the next match. Moody drove her closer to perfection, training her on a tight leash, leaving very little room for insufficiency. Things normal people needed, such as sleep and food, where things of the past for her. She has trained her body to the extreme, being able to sleep for short period in the night, and still have enough energy to go about her normal day, which consisted of eating, but she has been trained to be able to go about two weeks without eating. She didn't have the average girlish figure of a normal teenage girl, she had the muscular build that could rival any Quidditch players. She had the body of a killing machine. And she believed it. She was put on this planet to avenge those who have been wronged, or at least that is what the Ministry was telling her, that is how Moody has been training her. But there was something there no one knew of. The faint memory of her forgotten past, a small white light at the end of her tunnel of darkness. The light in the shape of a crescent moon.

"Sirius get back here!" James yelled as Sirius exploded out of a compartment, crashing in to Gemini, sending the two of them to the ground, Mischief flying through the air, landing on his feet, hissing. "Oh shit your dead."

"James," Lily sighed as she stepped out of the open door, "mind your mouth, " she bent down to help Gemini up, who was now eye level with her, "Are you alright Gemini?"

Gemini nodded gracefully, mischief flying through the air, landing in her arms. She turned and looked as Sirius, who paled and cover his, ahem, lower area. "You can hit me anywhere but down there, I'll be ruined, I'll-"

"Sirius," Gemini said softly, "I don't want to hit you."

Sirius opened one eye to see if she was kidding, then opened both and let out a long sigh, "thank you god." he perked up quickly though, being the living bundle of energy he was, "What's up with it G? You're usually beating the crap out of me by now.'

Gemini shrugged and replied, "I'm drugged, under any normal circumstance, I would have killed you, but I have a potion in my blood that stops it from boiling."

Gemini stepped in to the compartment, sitting down in a seat as Sirius sat down across from her. "Does that mean you quit the ministry job?" his voice sounded hopeful.

"No," Gemini said, shaking her head, strands of long, healthy, shiny umber hair falling in to her face, "I am still a uccisore," she said in her native tongue, "I am just," she paused to thin of the right word, "not much as a threat to the common public anymore."

"Well that's always good." James laughed and he sat down next to her. "Who is going to lead the first years this year?"

"I'll do it." Gemini said, sitting back on the bench, "I need to brush up on my people skills."

. . .

The infamous seven walked in to the grand hall, Janette glued to Sirius's arm while Leigh was drifting more and more towards Remus, who talked with her openly, missing the hungry look in her tiger eyes.

This was the last Sorting Feast she would ever attend. The last year in Hogwarts, the last year she would be an amateur, a year before she would become a professional killer, an administer of death. This didn't phase her at all, it was her duty.

Gemini looked up at the head table and did a double take when she saw who was sitting next to Trelawney.

Gemini rose an elegant eyebrow in question as she continued walking, much to the protest of her friends. She didn't believe it. Why wouldn't see have told her, they were close, they shared most of what went on in their heads. They were part of a circle a divined trinity, and she didn't tell her. Gemini wanted to be mad, she really truly did, but she couldn't. Not now. She continued to walk up towards the head table, but saw McGonagal come in, an indication that the first years would be coming in soon, so with one last confused glance over to the head table, she turned and teleported to her seat across fro Sirius and next to Bella.

In walked the first years.

Gemini stood up as the feast ended, walking down to the first years at the end of the table. With her prefect badge placed on her robes she walked to the front of the table, just as the prefects from the other houses did.

"Hello." she said, her voice clear through her Italian accent, "I am Gemini Cielo. A Seventh year. I am the person who will be showing you how to get to the common room, and giving you a, well, sort of a guided tour of the grounds along the way, so if you'll please follow me, I'll show you to the tower." she said professionally, walking towards the great doors, the first years in tow.

"There are a few things about Hogwarts that one should know." Gemini said, stopping in front of the first stair case, "keep an eye on the staircases." She looked up behind her to see that it was already beginning, "they never like to stay the same way for more than an hour." Gemini put her hands outside next to her, palms up and she made her self levitate a few feet off of the ground, "Follow me please, and do try to keep up." The first years awed and gasped at Gemini's abilities and she crossed one leg over the other, and began to float up the stairs, the first years in tow. "If you ever get lost, the pictures are a great help." She turned around, floating backwards now, "but do not offend them. You offend one painting, you offend them all. And no one likes an offended painting. The suits of armor are too, but they are not always willing to help." They climbed one last staircase as Gemini turned around again so she could see where they were going, "there some things you should watch out for while staying here. Ghosts tend to come and go as they please, and they are all generally nice apparitions, but do try to ignore the Bloody Baron, he just has stabbed himself with his fencing sword one to many times to be a happy camper." She smirked at the children laughter as they turned another corner, only to stop short to see a little spirit throwing water balloons on some poor Gryffendor third years. "Peeves." Gemini said flatly, explaining who the poltergeist was. "PEEVES!" she shouted, her clear voice echoing off of the walls, "let them be."

Peeves turned around as the third years ran towards the tower, thanking god that she showed up as a distraction.

A wide grin covered his face as he absentmindedly tossed a large red water balloon from hand to hand, "well if it isn't Miss Gemini here to stop Peevesy Weevesy from being bad." He laughed and he blew her a raspberry, "what is this? Ikkle first years? I know what I is going to do to these little widdle children and their guide." Several water balloons appeared around Peeves all floating in mid air, "I is going to make them run and hide." His laughter filled the corridors as about 50 water balloons came flying towards the group.

The first years screamed and ducked their heads as Gemini planted both feet firmly on the ground her hands out stretched before her, the water balloons stopping at her finger tips, gently pushing. "You are not to harass my first years Peeves." Gemini dead in a deadly tone as she thrust her hands out sending the balloons back with ten times the force, soaking the poltergeist before he even knew what was happening, "now I recommend leaving now Peeves, or I will get the Bloody Baron to straighten you out." Peeves paled, gulped, blew one last raspberry and disappeared through a wall, leaving a mess behind.

"Is everyone ok?" Gemini asked, turning around to find the first years scattered about the corridor. "It's safe to come out now."

"What was that thing?' one girl asked, trembling softly.

"That was Peeves," Gemini replied, looking at the mess in the corridor, "he's the resident poltergeist, a pain in the ass if you ask me." Gemini said, sighing, "come on."

She turned around, stretching one of her hands outs, murmuring 'repairo'. A yellow light flew from her fingertips drying the water, making the balloon shards disappear, and restoring order in the corridor. "if you ever see him in the halls, and you are by yourself," Gemini said, facing them, returning to her seat in the air, "do not run, it will make it like a game for him. Rather, just mention the Bloody Barron, the Slytherin house ghost. The only thing, dead or alive, that can control him. Shall we?"

The first years continued, a bit more cautious this time, cowering behind Gemini, as she put her feet firmly on the ground, and continued to walk.

They turned yet another corner and came in front of the Fat Lady, who had the same upturned face.

"Password?" she asked with a disdainful voice.

"Password, right." Gemini said, biting her lip, "Flippity Drogaris."

The fat lady nodded and made a sweeping movement with her chubby arm as the portrait swung open.

The first years followed her inside, and stopped behind her as she stopped walking. They all waiting with anticipation.

"Lo, this is the gryffendor common room. Lovely isn't it? The boys, you sleep up the stairs to the right the girls to the left. Nearly headless nick can be found floating about, but give no notice to him. A word of advice to you guys, ignore the four 7th year boys… stay as far away from them as possible… the are trouble, they mean seem cute and harmless on the outside, but they are potentially dangerous, so stay away… far away." She said seriously, but broke out in to a smirk and said, "Just kidding."


. . .

Gemini, James, Sirius and Peter dragged themselves threw the hallways on their way to divination. Divination was by far Gemini's least favorite class, maybe the fact that her entire life is prophesied, or that Trelawney and her weren't on the best terms, what ever the reason, Gemini found it pointless. She knew how her life was going to work, she just had to read the gospel of the witches, and see how the story could be incorporated with her life. James Sirius and Peter on the other hands, loved the class because they could wreck havoc and earn even more detentions, if that was even possible.

"Gemini!" Sirius whined as he leaned on her for support, "Can't you bloody teleport us up? It's taking forever, and since the bloody stairs changed again it is going to take up twice as long as usual!"

Gemini looked at him before pushing him off, "And you call yourself an athlete. What would Jeanette think if she caught you whining like a baby?"

"She would say how cute it was," James sighed, "She likes that kind of thing."

"Yeah and Leigh likes the strong mysterious types," Sirius said sarcastically, immediately realized what he just said and he cringed under Gemini's cold stare.

Just because Gemini was no longer angry does not mean that she wasn't intimidating.

"What do you mean?" Peter asked, "I ain't mysterious."

"Yes you are," Gemini said quickly, her confidence not faltering, "Terribly so."

"Really?" He asked putting a smug smile of his face as he walked with a new confidence, "Wicked."

Peter walked up ahead as Gemini elbowed Sirius hard in the ribs, hissing under her breath, "You aren't supposed to tell. You aren't even supposed to know, if your girlfriend wasn't such a big mouth than none of this would have ever happened."

"No," Sirius corrected, "If Remus wasn't so damn sexy none of this would have happened."

Gemini sighed and rolled her eyes as she held her bag close to her, running, "I don't know about you!" she yelled over her shoulder, "But I don't particularly want to die this year. Or be predicted so." She mock saluted to the boys as she turned and teleported out of sight.

"I hate it when she does that." Sirius sighed, stopping to take in what just happened.

"No you don't." James teased, "You love it when she does that."

Sirius scoffed and looked at James with a raised eyebrow, his confidence however, wavered, "What are you talking about Prongs."

"You like Gemini." Peter said bluntly, "You like her but you don't want to admit it."

Sirius laughed and leaned against James, "You guys sleigh me," he wiped a fake tear from his eye and replied, "why would I like her? She is antisocial, psychopathic, sadistic and violently abusive and-"

"-and that's why you like her Padfoot." James knowingly, looking at his indignant friend, "you like her because she is the one girl who you can't get. The one girl who you know will not melt at your infamous charm of throw herself at your feet. Hell, if you say jump, the rest of the school asks how high-"

"And Gemini would say 'Duck' before swinging her fist at your perfect face." Peter laughed and he and James demonstrated. "Face it Padfoot."

"You are head over heels for Gemini." James finished, looking at Sirius with his infamous 'you know I'm right' look on his face, where his eyebrow would rise, and a closed smile would grace his lips.

Sirius gave up, sighed and looked at his two friends with a desperate look on his face. He gave up. "How am I going to break it to Jeanette?"

James put up his hands taking a step back, shaking his head, "hey, this isn't my department, you forget I have been going out with the same girl for the past three years, and I'm probably going to be spending the rest of my life with her. I forget how to break it to girls, just do it gently and you'll do fine." James said as he began to climb the ladder up to divination.

"You always fall for the worse ones Padfoot," Peter said solemnly before bursting out in laugher as Sirius kicked him and scooted up the ladder.

"What is wrong with me," Sirius said as he shook the sight of Gemini from his head as he too climbed the shimmering ladder.

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Black.' Trelawney snapped as Sirius stood up, trademark grin on his face.

"I'm getting a detention now aren't I?" Sirius asked as he walked over and sat down next to Gemini at their table.

"No Mr. Black. You enjoy detention." Trelawney drawled, her eyes lidded heavily wit black ink. I will think of a proper punishment for you and your friends later. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, we will be reading Tarot cards today, I dare say everyone read the chapter on the Tarot card interpretations? If not, Madame Lessandra will be around to help. Everyone may open their packs and begin!" She ended dramatically, turning to sit at her seat near the fire, her tarot cards already spread.

"Ciao Gemini," Lessandra said with a small smile on her face as she sat down next to her old friend, each other exchanging kisses, "do you guys need help on interpretation?

"That'd be good," Gemini replied, the cards coming out of the case with the help of Gemini's TK, "I had training late last night, and I didn't read."

"No problem," Lessandra said, "I assume no one else read then right?" She asked, her black eyes looking up to find the three boys with blank expressions on their faces, "just as I thought. Well, we'll start with the basics shall we?" She took the cards in her hands and began to shuffle them absentmindedly as she explained. "The person seeking an answer to a question is the Questioner, which is you guys. The questioner, maintaining a serious mental attitude, concentrates on a question. If desired, the question may be spoken aloud to the Diviner, that's me. The questioner then shuffles the cards face down, creating a rapport between the subconscious mind and the cards. Next, the deck in placed in front of the diviner. The cards are always viewed from the Diviners position. The Diviner takes the cards from the top of the deck with the left hand. If a card escapes the deck, examine it carefully. It is an important indication in the reading." She put the deck down in front of Sirius and she gave him a small smile, "You're first Sirius, shuffle."

Sirius took the cards in his hands and began to shuffle them just as Lessandra had told him, faced down then put the cards, still faced down, in front of Lessandra whose eyes were half open.

"We will be doing a simple past present future spread to start." She began to set up the spread as she talked, "three cards will be set out side by side left to right. The first card represents the past, the second cards stand for the future, and the last represents the future." She filled the first card over to expose the Major Arcana, the Fool. "Your past says that you are unpredictable, open, spontaneous, adventurous, a free spirit and a dreamer. You are free of responsibility by choice and do not like restrictions. You have the soul of a child. Signifies the start of a new phase in life. Trust in your own ideas and plans no matter what others may say." She overturned the middle card which read The hermit, "The Light shining from within is guiding you now. It is time to be the observer and listen deep within. Withdrawing to find truths that require contemplation." she looked at Gemini quickly and over turned the last and remaining card, exposing Sirius's future, Death "Transformation. Sudden and unexpected change. A loss - physically, emotionally or intellectually. A letting go. Learn who you should and shiould not trust."

Sirius at there with his mouth slightly open. Staring at the cards in disbelief, "That was so not what I wanted to hear."

"The cards have spoken ,they are for only you to interpret.." Lessandra said, her light voice drawled dramatically, looking up at him, secretly knowing what the cardsreally meant, "only you."

"Are you ready?" James asked Gemini anxiously as she sat in the team room before their Quidditch match against Slytherin, "I mean, did you take your potion, are you going to be ok for the game?"

Gemini looked up at his and rose to her full height, still unable to look James in the eye, "Yes," she said darkly, "I took it, I was going to wait until I had the sudden urge to kill Lucius Malfoy, but Sirius made me take it," She shrugged, standing up and brushing her uniform off, taking a vial of purple liquid from her robes and held it in her hand, before it began to float slighting above her open palm, "but do you really want me to take it?" she asked James, an smirk on her lips, "this potion takes away my anger, which fuels my aggression. We have never really tested it affect on me during a game, it might take away my hostility," she taunted the now worried Quidditch captain, "which is primarily the reason why I am a beater." She shrugged, grinning as she saw the pale face on her teams seeker, "but don't worry about it James," she reassured him, patting his cheek, the smirk still on her face, "I still have my strength, and if that doesn't work I'll resort to different measures," she said softly and she turned away from him, her dark eyes lidded, "just remember James," she murmured over her shoulder, "I was suppose to be in Slytherin, I can play just as dirty as they can." She said with a smirk and a raised eye brow before turning on her heel in search for her club.

"oh god I hope she is right," James muttered as he put his face in his hands. "It's going to be a long game.

. . .

"Good afternoon and welcome to the first Quidditch match of the season!" Leigh announced in her Irish accent to the crowd as they cheered in response as a wicked grin spread across the face of the crazed fifteen year old correspondent, "Sssslytherin versus Grrryfendor! Captains Lucius Malfoy and James Potter go head to head in a battle for the cup, which was awarded last year to the mighty Slytherin. As you all know, Slytherin has some of the best chasers in the school, with Severus Snape as the leader of the pack, but those sly snakes better watch out for Gryffendor has the most aggressive beaters the school has seen for a few good years. Sirius Black and Gemini Cielo have been be reputated in completely different ways, but each has their own special talent which makes them a deadly duo. Black is known for his creativity and all around insanity out on the field, making each game an exciting spectacle for the entire school, but Cielo turns the Quidditch pitch into her own personal battle field as her natural aggressive behavior takes over, making any opponent on the field a target for Cielo's strong arm and fierce style. Putting the two together is like firing a scouring hex, no one in their path is safe." Leigh said energetically before the game started, getting the crowd hyped up and the volume even higher, ignoring the looks she was receiving from McGonagal, "and here come the teams!"

The two teams shot out of their waiting areas in flashes of emerald and crimson, streaking across the pitch in pairs, maneuvering around the posts and quick as the wind. The houses cheered as their respected teams passed their stands, ending in a explosion of voices from all the houses. They all returned to the center of the pitch as madame hooch entered the pitch, her broom in hand.

She looked up at the eager flyers and eyed Gemini in particular, "I want a good clean game. No funny business from any of you,"

"And the bludgers are up!" Leigh announced as the two black balls of fury flew In to the air, nearly hitting Jeanette in the process, "and there goes the snitch! The Quaffle is in play and the game has begun!" Leigh shouted in excitement as the game began in a fast pace, "and Snape has procession of the quaffle!"

Gemini tuned out Leigh's over excited voice and put her focus on the game. With her club in one hand and her old broom in the other, Gemini pulled upwards but immediately swung her body around, hitting a bludger in the processes sending it soaring towards Snape, but missing.

"And ten points for Slytherin! Malfoy has procession,"

"Damn," Gemini muttered and she shot across the pitch, stream lining her body, listening for the insane maniacal war call of Sirius.

"Take that Malfoy you prick!" Sirius laughed in enjoyment as he hit a bludger, smacking Malfoy in the back, nearly knocking him off his broom.

"Nice shot," Gemini commented as she reached him, "Oh no-" she gasped and a rouge bludger barreled towards them, but was knocked of course by the two beaters.

"Heh," Sirius laughed, "good one," he saluted as her soared off, laughing as he whacked another bludger away from James.

Gemini smirked as Jeanette scored and added ten points to the Gryffindor score. Her smirk turned in to a scowl as Sirius and her exchanged a quick kiss before continuing play.

She didn't know why this effect her so much. Sirius was just a brother to her, nothing more and nothing less. She was in a war, as soon as this year was over, her safety diminished. Her life was no longer kept safe within the haven of the school. She was never intended to live past the war. She was a solider, she was trained to be perfect, regardless of her personality disorder. In fact, her Skitziod Antisocial behavior made her even more of a threat, she just needed to learn to harness it.

"Gemini look out!" James screamed as Gemini whipped around to find a bludger right in front of her. There was only one thing to do.

She jumped.

Gemini's body twisted around as the entire school looked on in shock, the professors where all on their feet, Leigh was screaming in turmoil. The world froze.

Gemini's hands shot out and her falling broom teleported in to her hands as she mounted in midair, resuming her battle attitude.

//punish the little boy, make him pay for his wrong doings//

The potion wore away as soon as her club returned to her hand. Her eyes burned black as she zoomed towards the nearest bludger, a mind numbing fury blinding her vision as she slammed her beater bat in to the closest bludger, knocking snape off of his broom as he feel to the ground in a sickening crunch. A battle induced laughter filled the air, emitting from the insane Italian as she over came the pitch, using her beater abilities and her body to eliminate the players.

Then she heard it.

"And Slytherin wins!" Leigh announced as Slytherin and Ravenclaw erupted with applause.

Malfoy was flying around smugly with his hand in the air, enclosing the tiny snitch.

//make him suffer//

'what did he do'

/he has beaten you//

' no no no NO'

//no one shall beat you//

"NO!" Gemini shouted as she hurled her beater bat, missing Malfoy by half a centimeter.

//good girl//

'stupid girl'

Gemini chest rose and fell in great heaves of air as the school looked at her with a silent fear, Malfoy was sitting on the ground in shock, his breath equally Gemini's in rhythm. He looked upi at her, their eyes connection, a jolt of electricity jolting through the two as a connection was made, but it was broken just as fast as Sirius game runnig on, grabbing Gemini by the shoulders and twisting her so that she was facing him.

"what the hell was that Gemini," He yelled, shacking her slightly, "what the hell were you trying to do, Kill him?"

Gemini's eyes slid out of focus as she shook her head slightly, ripping herself from Sirius's grip.

"It was a reflex," Gemini muttered, turning from him, looking in the direction of Malfoy and her bat. She rose one hand into the air as her bat returned to her, a fierce emotion of revenge returning as well as soon as her gloved hands wrapped around the familiar well worn bat. "just a reflex."

. . .

It was a cold and gusty day as Gryffendor and Slytherin drugged through the knee deep snow, while Gemini walked on top off the snow with help of her telekinesis, a smug smirk on her lips as Sirius openly complained how the 'psycho chick doesn't have to suffer because she has her stupid god like powers'.

School has been hectic for the seventh years, between their mid year exams, career choices, whether they would continue their education, such as Remus was, or they were going to fall in to their working class positions such as Sirius and Peter, not knowing what they wanted from life like Lily and Bella, or fulfilling their destinies as they took their place on the chess board of the Great War like James and Gemini.

Gemini rose her head and looked at the wooden paddock where professor Kettlebaum stood, a grin on his rugged face, his grey eyes alight with excitement when the students finally reached their destination.

"Good afternoon class!" Kettlebaum exclaimed as the student grumbled as another cold burst of wind blew past them. "Today we have a great and majestic beat to show you called Actusales which is Latin for Winged Stag, but you must be very, very careful, for these creatures are said to be able to know a person by their soul, if they do not like your soul, they will become hostile, so one at a time." he looked out into the crowd for volunteers, "No one?"

"I think Cielo should do it," Malfoy announced, his clear voice cutting through the air, "If she is so strong and confident in her self, a little deer shouldn't be such of a problem, would it?"

"Miss Cielo?" Kettlebaum asked as he motioned towards the paddock, "Will you do the honors?"

"Eh," she replied as she stepped forwards, still standing on top of the snow, looking Kettlebaum in the eye, "what have I got to loose?"

Kettlebaum grinned and replied, "Very well then," he took out his wand and aimed it towards the stall of the far side of the paddock, flicking his wrist as a bright flash of light sprang form the wand tip, hitting the lock and opening the doors.

The class looked on in awe as a large creature stepped out of the paddock, looking around until his eyes landed on the class.

"That is the alpha male of the herd," Kettlebaum whispered to Gemini and she jumped the fence and landed in the paddock, "be careful."

Gemini rose to her feet, looking at the awesome beast standing about forty feet from her. He looked like a stag, only it looked like the size of a moose. Large, sharp and pointed golden antlers protruded from it head, his eyes like two large rubies, starting at her. Two long bat like wings stood out from it's back on top of powerful muscles.

Gemini walked to the center of the paddock, when the male came running towards her, head down. The entire class gasped and kettlebaum was about to use his wand to retrain him but stopped when the mighty beast skidded to a stop in front of Gemini, his head still down, his breath coming in deep puffs of smoke.

Gemini stayed calm and looked at the majestic beast as she suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her forehead, where her moon mark was. It lasted momentarily, and it was gone as soon as it came and to her surprise the best knelled down before her, his knees hit the snow covered floor.

Gemini slowly put a slender hand out and touched the beasts forehead as her rose and walked around her, lowering himself so that she could climb on. Using her telekinesis she rose off the ground and landed on the beast's back. Almost immediately he took off, changing towards the class as they screamed and ducked. He leapt over the fence and with a thrust of his might wings he left the ground over the students, climbing high and higher.

Gemini could vaguely hear Kettlebaum calling her name to come back, or the marauders cheers of celebration. All she knew was that this was a familiar form of comfort. She closed her eyes, looking back in her memory, the world she lived in blacking out as s feeling filled her chest, she vaguely forgot she was breathing, that her lungs where screaming for air, that she began to become dizzy.

Her eyes shot open, her breath shooting out of her in a quick burst. Her surroundings where fuzzy, she heard nothing but static, the vague yelling of students, Kettlebaum hollering to come back. She was in the same medium that she was in at Lake Nemi. She was stuck in a time rip in between the life she was living now, and the life she once lived as a goddess. The only clear thing that came to her was her breath and her heart beat. That's when she first heard it.

Now go and tell, if you can, that you have seen Diana unappareled

It was her voice, but it was older, more clear and precise, it held an echoing tone to it, it was fierce and steady, yet beautifully elegant.

"Gemini!" Kettlebaum yelled, as he grabbed her shoulders, shaking her out of her daze, "Are you ok?"

Gemini shook her head, just realizing that they were on the ground, the entire class was no engaging in interacting with the female Actusales.

"What is this Actusales name?" She asked, looking at Kettlebaum with her dark eyes.

"Actaeon. Why?"

Gemini shook her head, one hand running the stars from her eyes, "No reason. No reason at all."

. . .

The Yule Ball.

Gemini rolled her eyes as the 7th year girls bustled around their dorm getting ready for the ball.

"Come one Gemini, you have to get dressed up!" Lily laughed as she threw her pillow at Gemini's bed, but it stopped right before it hit her and soared back and landed neatly on Lily's bed.

"I'm not involved." Gemini muttered as searched for her Auror boots. "I don't do dances, I don't get dressed up, and I don't do dates."

"You're such a stiff Gemini," Bella sighed, "but we should expect this from you,"

"You should," Gemini replied as she pulled on a black work out tank top, "I don't understand why they are mandatory." She muttered as she pulled on a pair of old loose fitting pants, "it's not important." She finished as she pulled on her boots, stuffing the bottom of the pants in to the top of the lace up boots.

"You are going like that?" Kai asked, a sneer on her perfect face as her red lips curled, "you look like a cross dresser."

"You are aware that I can kill you in about 3.2 seconds right?" Gemini taunted softly as she walked towards her, "and I am not the sanest person in the world you know." She was face to face with her now, Kai's face was blank in fear, "with all these voices filling my head, you never know what I'm going to do next." Gemini said cooly as her umber eyes bored into Kai's orbs of sea green.

Gemini turned on her heels, her long brown hair flying out behind her, enclosing her for a brief moment, her lips twisting into a malovent smirk. Soon this would all be over, no more dealing with petty average teenage girl problems. In a few short months all of her training would come to use when she was put out in the battlefield with only one goal in mind, her mission. Moody hadn't given her an exact mission statement, but she knew the chances of her getting out of the war alive were near impossible. She was never intended to survive the war, the only real chance she had against The Lord is the same thing that drew him to her in the first place. Her immortality.

"Are you just going to stand there all day or are you going to go?" Moana snapped at Gemini, her green eyes heavily lidded with blue.

"Since when are my actions any concern of you," Gemini retorted, Her dark eyes flashing in warning, "So why don't you go back slathering on all that make up and get your overly sized nose out of my business."

Moana scoffed and twirled around, continuing make-upping her face.

Gemini grabbed her training cloak, throwing it over her shoulders, fastening the golden chain around her neck with her gloved hands. Gemini turned towards Lily with an amused look on her face, "I'm ready."

Gemini turned around, her smile faltering when she saw what Gemini was wearing, "Your hopeless."

Gemini shook her head and she shoved her wand in to her back pocket, "I'm not hopeless," she began to walk out of the dorm, but stopped when she reached the door, she smirked and closed her eyes, "I'm different."

. . .

"She's not going to like it," Dumbledore said knowingly, shaking his head as he dropped the folder on his desk, "you know that just as well as I. Who made this decision?"

"Barty Crouch." Moody answered, "Jr. Minister Fudge brought it up, Crouch put it in motion."

"She will refuse." Dumbledore said, his voice strong.

"This is her assignment," Moody growled, "I have trained her well, she is trained for the mission, she will not fail it."

Dumbledore sat back in his chair, rubbing his temple, easing away the dull pang of pain that resided in his head, "Regardless of the countless hours of training, the fact of the matter is that even Gemini Cielo has her limits. She respects her body as a temple, as it should be treated, doing this would go against everything that she stands for, everything that her heritage tells her to do. Her soul is one not to be broken," Dumbledore sighed as he leaned forward, looking picking up the folder once more, over looking it's contents, "why her?"

"You know that she is the only woman who is physically and magically capable of getting out of this alive. Not only will this help her in infiltration, but it will make her job ten times easier because she will catch them in their most vulnerable state. Think about it Dumbledore," Moody pleaded, "This is the perfect set up, we can't waste this opportunity."

Dumbledore sighed, knowing the inevitable. "How do we know if Gemini can psychologically handle this? She has not trained to be under such conditions. And with her personality disorder, it may complicate things."

"That is her last task as my apprentice, after this she will be a fully qualified assassin," Moody said gruffly, "if she cannot pass this, than all those years of training have been a waste."

"Who is assigned to do this?" Dumbledore asked, taking off his half moon spectacles briefly to rub his tired eyes. "And when?"

"A man who is sentenced to receive the kiss," Moody replied curtly, not meeting Dumbledore's orbs of sapphire. "Right after she takes her last exam. Before gradutaion."

"May the Gods have mercy on his soul." Dumbledore muttered, shaking his head before giving in to Moody's plan for Gemini's future, "for after she is done with him, he would have suffered a fate worse that death." Gemini entered the great hall early, the professors still setting everything up for the big ball, her dark eyes scanned the hall until they laid down on the mediwitch that she needed to talk to.

"Madame Pompfrey!" Gemini called out as she walked over to where she was talking to Dumbledore.

"Hello Dear," Madame Pompfrey said with a smile as she saw the dark Seventh Year come towards her, "Looking for your potion?"

"Hn," Gemini replied, nodding.

"Here you go dear." Pompfrey said, tossing her a vial, that should last you until tomorrow."

"Thank you," Gemini said, turning around, ready to teleport outside.

"Are you not staying for the Ball?" Pompfrey asked, "It is your last is it not?"

"I'm not involved," Gemini said as she turned, but stopped when she heard Moody call her name. Gemini nodded in his direction and Moody trotted over to her.

"Gemini, we have to talk." He said looking her in the eye, "You, Dumbledore and I."

"About what?"

"Your future."
