~The Sisterhood~

Ginny welcomed the storm as it began to invade her mind. As she padded barefoot across the ground, the short grass tickled her feet. A sharp wind fluttered her very simple white dress. She felt her heart sieze with every flash of lightening that lit up the sky. The thunder rumbled and shook her soul. She could feel the storm as if it were a breathing, living thing. She crested the hill, and she could see where the large group had assembled for the coronation. Her coronation.

As tradition decreed, she had to make this journey alone. Everyone had left very early that morning. There was no poofing or primping this morning. She was left to her own devices. She felt the first rumble of thunder call her. It drew her along, out of the castle and across the grounds. It was waiting to recieve her. She vaguely registered some sort of fear of the responsibility she was fated to undertake, but the wind that had brought the storm wrapped around her and quited everything but her will to join the thunder.

Her feet brought her to the crowd. All eyes turned to her as she continued in a trance like state down the green carpeted isle that had been made for her. Her heart gave a small start when she saw Harry, standing in line near the front with the rest of her court. They had all been dressed in green and silver. All of these observations were very breif, as the storm led her toward it.

She climbed the stairs of a platform that had been constructed with no effort. She could think of nothing but finding some way to raise into the clouds and be consumed with her element. She turned to face the people who had gathered in front of her, but she saw none of them. Her eyes turned to the steel colored clouds above her. Her arms raised to the heavens in a welcoming gesture. There was a flash of lightning and she was gone.

Harry felt his heart stop when the lightning struck Ginny. He gave a yell that was drowned by the crashing thunder. The storm suddenly grew violent. No rain, just wind thunder and lightening. He ran to Setsuna.

"What's happened? Where is she?" He yelled.

She simply smiled and simply led him back to where Ron stood in awe, with tears in his eyes. The storm quieted and an unearthly music, like a choir, filled his ears. He didn't understand the voices, they were speaking in a completely different language. He looked up toward the sky and got the shock of his life.

Ginny was floating serenly out of the clouds. Her eyes were closed and a smile graced her lips. It seemed that the wind blew upwards towards her, because her hair flowed up from her head making it look like a silken flame. Her dress had changed, now green with the midriff missing and the skirt slit up to her knee. It blew up enough to give Harry quite a view of her legs, and he blushed crimsion. A grand tiara had been placed on her head...sliver, dotted with emeralds and a sheath hung at her side with a very large silver handle protruding from it. Raw electric power hugged every curve her body.

When she landed, the chior ended thier song and the wind stopped it's violent birrage. She held out her hand and the lightning struck down and a silver septer appeared in her hand. Her eyes slowly opened and she smiled a wide smile. She decended the stairs gracefully, one bare foot after the other. She stopped in front of her court.

"My friends, my family, my teachers, my love. I have now taken my place as the Princess of Jupiter and you shall take your places by my side." At this, she cast her septer towards them and they each felt a small shock. Her symbol appeared on the right breast of thier clothing.

"Honored guests." Hotaru addressed the crowd. "We are pleased to present her Royal Highness Princess Virginia of Jupiter and her court."

A wild cheer went through the audience. Long live the Lady of the Storm was called from all sides. Hats were thrown into the air, the Weasley family hugged one another, and Harry gave Ginny a passionate kiss.

As they made their way down the isle, many people bowed or curtsied to Ginny.

'It won't be much longer now.' Setsuna observed as she watched the future of the wizarding world accompany Ginny back to the castle.
